Here's Barack Obama's response to Hillary Clinton's fear-mongering ad. I think it's much better than his response to Hillary Clinton's 3AM ad in Texas because he's framing the question in his terms, not hers.
Obama is countering fear with optimism and a positive message of change.
ANNOUNCER: Who has what it takes to really bring change? To finally take on the special interests - not take their money. Who made the right judgment about opposing the war and had the courage and character to speak honestly about it. And who in times of challenge will unite us - not use fear and calculation to divide us.
BARACK OBAMA: We are one people. All of us pledging allegiance to the stars and stripes. All of us defending the United States of America.
