Obama vs. Clinton: Not Just to Win politico.com Egged on by an enthusiastic Iowa crowd Saturday evening, Barack Obama took perhaps his most direct shot at Hillary Clinton of the campaign season, echoing and mocking her signature phrase. “I’m in it –” he began, then echoed members of the audience in a Waterloo gymnasium: “to win it.” Then he quieted the crowd. “Hold on,” he said. “Yes I want to win. But I’m in it to transform the country.” The exchange with the overflow crowd in his final event of the day Sunday crystallized an unspoken theme of his announcement speech: contrasts with Hillary Clinton. In this case, he seemed to diminish her declaration that she was "in it to win," a line with which she kicked off her campaign last month. The unspoken contast was between Clinton's presumed ambition, and perhaps her generation's self-involvement; and Obama's attempt to transform his own campaign for president into a broader movement. "This campaign can't only be about me," he said during his Springfield announcment speech Saturday. He touted his short stay in Washington, where Clinton has been since 1992; his membership in a new generation; and, above all, his opposition to the war in Iraq. In a key paragraph in the speech, he set himself as a figure of “change” against “the ways of Washington.” “I recognize there is a certain presumptuousness -- a certain audacity -- to this announcement,” Obama said. “I know I haven't spent a lot of time learning the ways of Washington. But I've been there long enough to know that the ways of Washington must change.” Obama’s short appearance in Waterloo appeared to touch a nerve with a diverse crowd of local Democrats. “I’m fired up,” he told them, and they responded in kind. “I’ve lived here all my life,” said Ben Bower, 19, a local college student. “You don’t see people get all frenzied up like this. It’s like at Soldier Field.”
