Clinton and Obama camps trade opening salvos

The presidential campaigns of Sens. Hillary Rodham Clinton (D-N.Y.) and Barack Obama (D-Ill.) traded shots Wednesday over remarks Obama-backer and media mogul David Geffen made regarding the Clintons. Geffen, quoted in a New York Times op-ed, took several swipes at Clinton, and her camp fired back in the direction of Obama. Geffen said Clinton would be the easiest Democrat to defeat in a general election, adding that while everyone lies in politics, the former first family does so with 'such ease.'
