Clinton Aide Compares Obama to Starr

WASHINGTON (AP) - Hillary Rodham Clinton's campaign compared rival Sen. Barack Obama on Thursday to independent prosecutor Kenneth Starr, the Clintons' chief nemesis of the 1990s. Clinton herself declined to comment on the comparison, made by her chief spokesman in a conference call with reporters and also in a memo distributed by the campaign.
Clinton spokesman Howard Wolfson said Obama's statement that he plans to be more critical of Clinton's record is reminiscent of the attacks the Clintons endured during the investigations in the 1990s.
"After a campaign in which many of the questions that voters had in the closing days centered on concerns that they had over his state of preparedness to be commander in chief and steward of the economy, he has chosen instead of addressing those issues to attack Senator Clinton," Wolfson told reporters in a conference call. "I for one do not believe that imitating Ken Starr is the way to win a Democratic primary election for president."
Starr was appointed independent counsel in 1994 to investigate the Clintons' real estate dealings known as Whitewater. His investigation grew to include other topics, including the death of deputy White House counsel Vince Foster, a close friend of Hillary Clinton's and the Monica Lewinsky affair. Starr's findings formed the basis for Bill Clinton's impeachment.
