Hillary Rodham Clinton accused presidential
rival Barack Obama of political plagiarism Thursday night, but drew
boos from a Democratic debate audience when she ridiculed him as
the candidate of "change you can Xerox." Obama dismissed the charge out of hand, then turned the jeers to
applause when he countered, "What we shouldn't be spending time
doing is tearing each other down. We should be spending time
lifting the country up." They disagreed on the proper response to a change in government
in Cuba in the wake of Fidel Castro's resignation. Clinton said she
would refuse to sit down with incoming President Raul Castro until
he implements political and economic reforms. Obama said he would
meet "without preconditions," but added the U.S. agenda for such
a session would include human rights in the Communist island
nation. |
