I don't know what took him so long but he really needs to be sharper when confronting people. Hillary has ran away with the experience argument for far too long. 35 years of experience is a huge lie and it's time she mans up to that.
A bit off-topic but I finally heard the cackling that people have been complaining about. I had to lower the volume cause it really is annoying and awful.

Obama says it is 'premature to talk about a joint ticket'
Speaking to reporters on his plane before leaving San Antonio for Chicago, Sen. Barack Obama hinted at taking a tougher line against Clinton in the coming weeks, telling reporters that she must back up her experience argument with details, my colleague Carrie Budoff Brown reports.
"I hope people start asking is what exactly is this foreign experience she is claiming," he said. "Was she handling crises during this period of time? I haven?t seen any evidence that she is more equipped to handle a crisis.
"She made the experience argument and her ability to handle a crisis, so I think it is important to examine that claim and not just allow her to assert it," he added. "She has made the argument that she is thoroughly vetted. If the suggestion is somehow that on issue of ethics or disclosure or transparency that she is somehow going to have a better record than I have or could (better) withstand Republican attack, then that should be tested."
"I believe I am in a much stronger position to run against Republicans," he said.
On the media:
"Complaining about the refs apparently worked a little bit this week. So in addition to my call to [Saturday Night Live producer] Lorne Michaels, hopefully now people think everything has evened out."
On a joint ticket:
"We are just focused on winning the nomination. That is my focus. I respect Sen. Clinton. She has been a tenacious opponent. It is premature to talk about a joint ticket."
