Response to Clinton Attack: Ken Starr?

"Obama campaign spokesman Bill Burton:

It is absurd that after weeks of badgering the media to ‘vet’ Senator Obama, the Clinton campaign believes that they should be held to an entirely different standard. We don’t believe that expecting candidates for the presidency to disclose their tax returns somehow constitutes Ken Starr-tactics, but the kind of transparency and accountability that Americans are looking for and that’s been missing in Washington for far too long. And if Senator Clinton doesn’t think that the Republicans will ask these very same questions, then she’s not as ready to go toe-to-toe with John McCain as she claims."

I think there needs to be a tone of outrage in your responses to the Clinton campaign; in the vein of Hillary's "shame on you" we need a "how dare you" attitude. Also a "What are you hiding?" "Why is your campaign so defensive about simple requests for information." Greg Craig's response as heard on NPR today was way too measured.
