She launched the first negative ad of the campaign last night:

This is obama sticking up for the middle and working classes of America:

Obama’s big deal with Big Pharma saves $80 billion out of a total $3.6 trillion. That’s 2%. Hey thanks, Barack! You really stuck it to the big boys. You saved America from these drug lords robbing us blind. Two percent. Cool!
