Obama makes only stop in RI, slams rival



Go to AP original
PROVIDENCE, R.I. - Democrat Barack Obama, on his first visit to Rhode Island as a presidential candidate, sought Saturday to portray Hillary Rodham Clinton as a candidate who shifted positions for political expediency.

"Real change isn't about changing your position to fit the politics of the moment. And that's the choice in this election," Obama told a packed recreation center as thousands more listened from outside.

Clinton, campaigning in Texas, told reporters, "I know that Senator Obama has been complaining that talking about national security is fear-mongering and I could not disagree more."

Polls show Clinton with a lead in Rhode Island. The Rhode Island primary offers 21 Democratic delegates.
