Barack Obama
The Public Record
I think Bill Clinton did have an enormous affinity with the African American community and still does.
African-Americans should vote for what's best for them, their children, and this country.
What she said wasn't true. We account for every single dollar that we propose.
We have got to appeal to Independents and Republicans in order to build a working majority to move an agenda forward.
I feel pretty bad. But let's just respond to the example that was just thrown out.
When Senator Clinton says -- or President Clinton says that I wasn't opposed to the war from the start or says it's a fairy tale that I opposed the war, that is simply not true.
What I said was is that Ronald Reagan was a transformative political figure because he was able to get Democrats to vote against their economic interests to form a majority to push through their agenda, an agenda that I objected to.
I don't mind having policy debates with Senator Clinton or Senator Edwards. But what I don't enjoy is spending the week or two weeks or the last month having to answer to these kinds of criticisms that are not factually accurate.
If I were starting from scratch, if we didn't have a system in which employers typically provided health care, I would probably go with a single payer system.
