Obama campaign defends record on Yucca
By James W. PindellBarack Obama's campaign shot back at what they said were "misleading" radio ads from Hillary Clinton about his record on Yucca Mountain.
"There is a pattern of misleading attacks," said state Senator Steven Horsford (D-North Las Vegas). "It is textbook Washington campaigning."
The radio ad calls into question Obama's stance on placing nuclear waste inside Yucca Mountain.
Also on the Obama organized conference call was Bob Fulkerson, a longtime activist on the Yucca issue.
Fulkerson called the radio ad "dishonest" and "offensive".
