Obama Brushes Off Clinton's Attacks
(CBS)
RALEIGH, N.C. -- Barack Obama said Hillary Clinton looked “in her element” at last night’s debate, which he described as a “roll out of the Republican’s campaign” against him in November.
“I have to say Senator Clinton looked in her element,” Obama said. “She was taking every opportunity to get a dig in there. That’s alright. That’s her right. That’s her right to kind of twist the knife a little bit.”
While not completely ruling it out, Obama seemed disinclined to participate in another debate with Clinton before the North Carolina primary on May 6th.
“We had agreed earlier to a debate, Senator Clinton declined that,” he said. “We’ve now had 21 [debates], and look, the previous three, we did very well, so it’s not as if we don't know how to do these things.”
