 Obama to confront Hillary at debate
Tuesday’s Democratic presidential debate in Philadelphia will be the first test on the national stage for Sen. Barack Obama (Ill.) to carry through on his pledge to engage rival and Democratic front-runner Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton (N.Y.) more directly and forcefully. In a weekend interview with The New York Times, Obama said “now is the time” for him to step up his efforts to knock Clinton off the top spot.

Tuesday’s Democratic presidential debate in Philadelphia will be the first test on the national stage for Sen. Barack Obama (Ill.) to carry through on his pledge to engage rival and Democratic front-runner Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton (N.Y.) more directly and forcefully. In a weekend interview with The New York Times, Obama said “now is the time” for him to step up his efforts to knock Clinton off the top spot. Obama has implicitly criticized Clinton and her policies repeatedly, mostly recently in an ad released over the weekend that contained indirect references to the senator. The ad, entitled “Winds,” is an apparent attempt to hit Clinton for her reluctance to commit to an answer in a question about Social Security posed during the last Democratic debate.In the ad, Obama notes that 78 million “baby boomers” will soon be retiring, and if “we have failed to have a real conversation about Social Security, it will not get fixed.”“I don’t want to just put my finger out to the winds and see what the polls say,” Obama says. “I want to bring the country together to solve a problem.But the senator does not address Clinton by name, likely leaving most voters clueless about the ad’s intent and lending some credence to the belief of some spam that Obama is unwilling to engage fully in political blood sport.Obama will share the national spotlight in Tuesday night’s debate with Clinton and the rest of the field, with the exception of former Alaska Sen. Mike Gravel, who was not invited by NBC, the debate’s sponsor. This will give Obama a high-profile opportunity to more directly confront Clinton.Obama’s campaign insisted their candidate is ready. “The fact is that the candidates are not carbon copies, and Sen. Obama has some distinctive policy differences with Sen. Clinton, including his opposition to the war in Iraq from the beginning, his opposition to an amendment that raises the risk of war with Iran and his belief that people are looking for answers on how to strengthen Social Security,” Jen Psaki, an Obama spokeswoman, said.
