A new article in the Atlantic magazine has revealed Hillary Rodham Clinton’s top strategist had urged her to target what he described as Barack Obama’s lack of American roots because he was raised in Indonesia. In a memo dated March 30, the strategist Mark Penn advised Clinton to criticize Obama for having a limited connection to “basic American values and culture.” Penn wrote, “I cannot imagine America electing a president during a time of war who is not at his center fundamentally American in his thinking and in his values.”
