Clinton criticizes Obama after debate

WASHINGTON (AP) — Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton today accused rival Barack Obama of “looking for a fight” in their debate last night in Myrtle Beach.

Clinton suggested today in Washington that Obama acted out of frustration over primary losses in New Hampshire and Nevada.

Obama argued Clinton and her husband, former President Bill Clinton, have been distorting his record.

Obama told reporters in a conference call that the Clintons have spent the last month attacking him inaccurately.

Clinton told reporters in Washington today that Obama’s various criticisms at the debate were “rehearsed points.”

Clinton says she thinks the results in New Hampshire and Nevada have prompted Obama to change strategy. She says he went into the debate looking for a fight.
