Obama Responds To Hillary Claim That He's "Frustrated"

By Greg Sargent - January 22, 2008

On a conference call with reporters, Obama just responded to the Hillary campaign's increasingly frequent claim that he's "frustrated" by his losses in New Hampshire and Nevada.

"It's very clear that Senator Clinton has been spending the last month attacking me in ways that are not accurate," Obama said. He then reiterated his criticism of Hillary for saying recently that the acrimonious phase of campaigns is the "fun part."

"I don't think it's the 'fun part' to fudge the truth," Obama said, adding: "If you get the kind of looseness with the facts that (the Clinton team has) displayed, that erodes people's trust in government...It makes them cynical."

Obama continued: "It's important for our campaign to not only make sure that the record is correct...but also that we are sending a message to voters that we're going to bring about a different kind of politics over the long term."
