SUZANNE MALVEAUX, CNN: I'd
like to follow-up with Senator
Obama. It was just a few days
ago that Senator Clinton
asserted that she was the
strongest candidate when it
comes to fiscal
responsibility. She says that
the new programs that she
proposes she essentially can
pay for. She says that you
have failed in that regard in
the tune of some $50 billion
worth of new programs that you
cannot account for. How do you
respond to that charge? OBAMA:
What she said wasn't true. We
account for every single
dollar that we propose. Now,
this, I think, is one of the
things that's happened during
the course of this campaign,
that there's a set of
assertions made by Senator
Clinton, as well as her
husband, that are not
factually accurate. And I
think that part of what the
people are looking for right
now is somebody who's going to
solve problems and not resort
to the same typical politics
that we've seen in Washington.
(APPLAUSE) That is something
that I hear all across the
country. So when Senator
Clinton says -- or President
Clinton says that I wasn't
opposed to the war from the
start or says it's a fairytale
that I opposed the war, that
is simply not true. When
Senator Clinton or President
Clinton asserts that I said
that the Republicans had had
better economic policies since
1980, that is not the case.
Now, the viewers aren't
concerned with this kind of
back-and- forth. What they're
concerned about is who's
actually going to help the get
health care, how are they
going to get their kids...

college, and that's the kind

I think that's the kind of
campaign we should all try to
run. (APPLAUSE)
