No. It isn't necessary, and it would be more damaging to him than to her.

No. He's better than that.
However, knowing that Lanny Davis is busy reminding the universe of the true and false things that Obama will be accused of, I feel a need to say:
Whitewater
Cattle Futures
Health Care Calamity
NAFTA-silence
Impeachment
Weather Underground
Iraq flip-flop
Borat-Gate
Sniper-Gate
Tax Returns
Daddy taught me to shoot
Bill did/didn't say "race card"
Hill did/didn't say she's winning popular
Bomb, Bomb, Bomb! Bomb bomb Iran!

You forgot Vince Foster, Norman Hsu, Peter Paul, and countless other issues...

No. His campaign is based on taking the high road, and when it come to ethics he's head and shoulders above the other two. If he jumps in the gutter, he's no better than they are.

No, it's not him.

Absolutely not. It would damage him more than it would Hillary Clinton.
Imagine a man verbally attacking a woman, a Black man at that ... That would be the worst possible thing Obama could do. Inasmuch as I would like to see HRC's agenda revealed attacks are not the answer.
Even when Obama compares and distinguishes himself and/or his policies the media spins it, as if he is going after her, but when Hillary attacks him the media does not present it quite that way.
However the voters are not blind to her game.
Moreover she cannot win, but she won't quit! She is out to destroy him i hopes the Super delegates will select her when Obama has won more delegates, won more of the popular vote, raised more money, has run a superb campaign. In contrast Hillary had over $200 million dollars, had name recognition, loyal supporters, the democratic leadership support and was on her way to winning when Obama thwarted that win.
She went up against a rookie and still cannot close the deal! And to think she is "ready day 1" is dubious at best and a bit scary.
The best thing Obama can do is ignore Clinton at this point.

"Imagine a man verbally attacking a woman, a Black man at that ... That would be the worst possible thing Obama could do."
I think that's why he was so dull at the last debate. He could have responded with fast, fierce, funny replies, but it would have backfired. He can't say to Clinton what he could have said to Edwards or Richardson.
Not fair, but true.

Yes. You can't play nice with everybody.

What's the point? He's already won.
