Clinton attacks Obama for plagiarizing

Hello on this Friday, the 22 day of February 2008. I'm Kristin Volk with a UPI News Update.

Senator Hillary Clinton questioned her rival Barack Obama's readiness to become commander-in-chief at last night's Democratic presidential debate in Texas. She criticized the Illinois senator for borrowing rhetoric for his campaign speeches and said he had a weak resume. Obama responded, calling her accusations "silly season" politics. Texas will hold its primary on March 4. Analysts say Clinton must win in that state in order to stay in the race.

But Clinton ended the debate much differently than she began. The emotional New York Senator made reference to her past political battles when her husband was in the White House. She said she had lived through some challenging moments in her life, but they're nothing compared to what goes on everyday in the lives of others across the country. Clinton added saying whatever happens, we're going to be fine.

Serb protestors who are enraged by Kosovo's independence attacked U.N. police in northern Kosovo today with stones, glass bottles and firecrackers. The police were guarding a key bridge in the divided city of Mitrovica (Mee-tro-veet-suh). This comes one day after demonstrators attacked the U.S. embassy in the capital of Belgrade. Protests have occurred ever since Kosovo's ethnic Albanian leaders declared independence from Serbia on Sunday. The U.S., Britain, France and Germany have formally recognized Kosovo.

A 28-mile virtual fence designed for the U.S.-Mexican border has been ok'd by the government. The fence will use radars and surveillance cameras to try to catch people entering the country illegally. The cameras are powerful enough to distinguish group sizes and see whether people are carrying backpacks that may contain weapons or drugs. Parts of the virtual fence have been constructed and are already working. More fences are expected to be built as early as this summer.

That's all for now. Check out our new special segment on upi.com called "They Got Game Again." Thanks for watching.

You'll notice than her finest moments were simply comprised of lifted words from john edwards (whatever happens, we're going to be fine....) and bill clinton (i've taken some hits on this campaign....).

She's such a careless fraud.

Based on her marriage preservation tactics I assume that she would accept any possible screwup by the members of her staff at any cost.

I Find the whole experience argument funny..If it were about experience we would have a race between Chris Dodd and Joe Biden. But what i find disturbing is Hilary saying Mccains has a lifetime of experience and so does she but Obama doesn't..Number 1 thats a lie but more importantly why would she try to sabotage the democratic party by saying only me and Mccain have experience so if u dont vote for me vote for John..After bush no democrat should recommend a republican..Shame on you Hilary.

GO OBAMA! clintons teling people lies and is totatly unjustly attacking obama

[sunshinehello]

i'm really glad she confronted Obama for the lies hes is saying, He is saying she is just bringing this issue up since he is winning. Not true he stated these lies before. If he is wrong he is wrong. He has no experience. What are people thinking. I wouldn't had my someone who didn;t have any experience work on my car. They may have lots of great ideas as to how to work on my car. Bush had no experience and He really messed everything up.

As a Republican, I am looking for a solid Democrat Pres Candidate. I was thinking Hillary, but have come to believe she is a complete idiot.

Who is advising this girl?
