We will not pause to shed a tear For we shall meet him over there Where greater duties are performed In cloudless lands where all is fair. Love Always Clarice, Marilyn, Linda, Marc, Joey Joe Obama deflects barbs from Bill Clinton IOWA Ex-president: Senator's doing well because he's from Illinois BY BETH FOUHY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS WATERLOO, Iowa Democrat Barack Obama on Saturday scoffed at suggestions by former President Bill Clinton that the Illinois senator is not ready to be president and that Obama is running strong in Iowa in part because his home state and Iowa share a border. "When I was 20 points down, they all thought I was a wonderful guy. Obviously things have changed here in Iowa and elsewhere," Obama said at a news conference. "If they're suggesting that as this 'callow somehow had a structural advantage in Iowa relative to the Clinton operation and the former president of the United States, that doesn't strike me as a real plausible Obama is locked in a tight contest with Hillary Rodham Clinton and John Edwards in Iowa less than three weeks before the state's caucuses, which lead off the presidential nominating season.

Obama's comments came amid evidence the former first lady's once-commanding lead in many state polls has vanished and that her campaign is scrambling to restore its footing. Bill Clinton has emerged as a key surrogate: and spokesman for his wife in recent weeks and planned to return to Iowa to campaign for her this week. In an interview broadcast Friday on PBS' "The Charlie Rose Show," Bill Clinton suggested Obama's experience in public life he served seven years in the Illinois Legislature before being elected to the U.S. Senate in 2004 was insufficient. "I mean, when is the last time we elected a president based on one year of service in the Senate before he started running?" Clinton said.

"In theory, we could find someone who is a gifted television commentator and let them run." The former president said voters who chose Obama would be "rolling the dice" and said Obama's state's proximity to Iowa gave him an advantage over Hillary Clinton, a New York senator who grew up in Illinois. Obama said the former president was simply echoing an argument his wife's campaign had made for months. "I have the kind of experience the country needs right now," Obama said, noting that Bill Clinton was a relative newcomer to the national stage when he was elected president in 1992. Obama also was asked about the resignation of a top Clinton adviser who had raised the issue of Obama's use of illegal drugs as Sen. Barack Obama campaigns Saturday in Independence, lowa.

AP PHOTO a teenager in a newspaper interview last week. The adviser, Bill Shaheen, stepped down from the campaign after Clinton personally apologized to Obama for Shaheen's comments. Obama, 46, acknowledged using marijuana and cocaine in his 1995 memoir, "Dreams From My Father." He told a group of students in New Hampshire last month that his drug use had caused him to "waste a lot of time" during his high school years. He said he didn't know i if voters are willing to accept a presidential candidate's past use of drugs, but he believes most have more pressing concerns. NEED EXPERT SERVICE?
