Obama Accuses Hillary of Hiding Behind Gender "Which One?"
"Like Hillary is suddenly going to become a girl...yeah right."
Democrat Barack Obama accused rival Hillary Clinton on Friday of hiding behind her gender after her campaign complained six male candidates engaged in "the politics of pile on" at a debate.
Obama, the only black candidate in the U.S. presidential race, told NBC's "Today" show that Clinton is widely viewed as a tough figure in national politics.
"So it doesn't make sense for her, after having run that way for eight months, the first time that people start challenging her point of view, that suddenly she backs off and says: 'Don't pick on me,'" he said.
"That is not, obviously, how we would expect her to operate if she were president," he said.
Clinton had a rocky performance at a debate on Tuesday in Philadelphia and her rivals pounced on what they called evasive answers.
Former North Carolina Sen. John Edwards, who was active in outlining his differences with her at the debate, released a Web video called "the Politics of Parsing," accusing Clinton of "double-talk" on issues such as Iraq, Social Security and illegal immigration.
"We still don't know the answer. That's the politics of parsing," the video said.
