Clinton also said that while she recognizes that race and gender play a role in the minds of voters as they make their presidential choices, she believes enough people want change from Republican policies to put Obama over the top in November.
In the interview, Clinton was asked what she thought about Republican Sarah Palin's vice presidential candidacy. She said she thought any woman is going to face certain issues and questions but that "the bottom line is who is on top of the ticket." (Watch the interview)
Clinton called Republican presidential nominee John McCain a friend, but said that he has a record of supporting deregulation of business.
"Barack Obama's going to win. No doubt ... if anybody looks at the mess we're in today," she told co-anchor Harry Smith.
She also said that she thinks Obama is best suited to straighten out the country's economic problems.
"Barack Obama is being advised by the same peopole who got us out of the ditch in 1993," she said. "I think our ticket is well-eauipped for handling the mess that theuy're going to inherit. Let's make no mistake about it: this is going to be one of the most difficult presidential transitions."
Clinton was also asked about the administration's plans for a $700 billion government program to stabilize the country's distressed financial markets.
Clinton said she agrees that the situation is critical and that something must be done quickly. She said, "the house is on fire and we've got to call the fire department and put the fire out." But Clinton also said that Congress should not "give the Treasury a blank check" to straighten out the problem.

- Why is the only claim racist white Americans can muster about Senator Obama is he''''s a Muslim.
You''''ll should have grown tired of this redundancy by now, don''''t you think?
Come up with something more concrete, than insidious lies, about Mr. Obama.

I could care less if he is a Muslim or not. The bottom line is that he is way too liberal for roughly half the American people and he does not have the experience to be president... - Reply to this comment

Are you kidding me? You''re going to blame the 42nd president for this mess? What about the dumb$*** that decided "I have enough money, I''m going to buy a house." It is the banks fault for becoming greedy, money hungry scoundrels. Haven''t you been watching TV for the past 5 years? I could have recited those *** commercials "If you think you can''t own a home, think again." It was sick. If you graduated from HS (that''s High School) you can do the math to figure out if you can purchase and maintain a home. What kills me is, in this day and age of information at your fingertips: people are making these incredibly HUGE decisions without guidance. The banks should go under, the people should lose their homes. If the market is in turmoil, and it is, let the corrupt fail so that once again America is a place of respect and courage, not greed and immorality. - Reply to this comment
- OBAMA IS LEADING! In the polls, in history, in new voter registration, in fundraising, in campaign management, by every metric possible! Conventional wisdom has always said that you can determine how a president will lead by observing how he leads his campaign and the decision he made in picking his vice presidential nominee! Obama/Biden 08, real leadership for a new generation! What a STELLAR campaign being run by an incredible young, American leader! Go OBAMA/BIDEN

- "No doubt Obama will win ......." Obama campaign donations at work. Hillary''s givin'' the Obama Camp their $30 million worth. The Buffalo Bills have a better shot at the Super Bowl than Obama does in November.
