Franco Harris Opens Obama HQ In Washington Co.

WASHINGTON (KDKA) ― Steelers legend Franco Harris opened Sen. Barack Obama's campaign headquarters in Washington County.

Obama's opponent, Sen. Hillary Clinton, made her rounds in Western Pennsylvania this week, stopping in Greensburg.

She's come under fire for comments about landing under sniper fire in Bosnia in 1996, but CBS News video from that day showed no gunfire.

Harris says he won't trash the senator.

"Things like that are really not important to me. You know, those are issues that sidetrack from the real issues," he said.

But other Obama supporters are taking a different stance.

"If she lied about that in a strange way and she forgot - what else did she forget?," Joyce Ellis said.

Other people say they're used to hearing politicians saying one thing and doing another.

Sen. Obama will return to the campaign trail later this week when he starts a bus tour of Pennsylvania at Soldiers and Sailors in Oakland Friday morning.

He's also planning to attend a town hall meeting at Hempfield High School that afternoon.

The tour ends in Philadelphia on Wednesday, April 2.
