I guess it's time for "old politics" again...

You may remember how Sen. Obama whined about getting grilled at the debate in Philadelphia last week. A refresher:

In criticism of his rival, [Obama] called the debate "the rollout of the Republican campaign against me in November" and said it represented textbook Washington politics that Clinton was very comfortable playing.

Cut to one week and one devastating primary loss later. What say you, Obamessiah:

Unable once again to score a knockout, Sen. Barack Obama is likely to make his new negative tone even more negative -- with a sharp eye on trying to end the Democratic presidential nomination fight after the May 6 primaries in Indiana and North Carolina.

[...]

With Obama clearly favored in North Carolina, even he has called Indiana the "tiebreaker," a state that adjoins Illinois but where Clinton voters hold sway in the working-class towns in the south. In the two weeks leading up to the Indiana primary, a Democratic strategist familiar with the Obama campaign said aides are likely to turn to the controversies of Bill Clinton's White House years -- Hillary Clinton's trading cattle futures, Whitewater and possibly impeachment.

"Everyone knows the history of the Clintons," the strategist said.

Plouffe would not say the campaign planned to address that period, but seemed open to the possibility in the future: "The Republicans certainly are going to look at those issues, the Clinton finances, the record issues. We have chosen not to go there."

Emphasis mine.

It seems that the Obamessiah has seen a vision from His Father in heaven, and "Republican tactics" are now okay. What makes it even better is that the second emphasized portion uses nearly the exact same language that Clinton surrogates use when attacking Obama on issues like his connections to Ayers, Rezko, and Wright.

Classic.
