Obama Says He Wants an End to the Political "Tit-For-Tat"

WASHINGTON Feb 23, 2007 (AP)— Fresh off a spat with rival Hillary Clinton,
Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama says he'd like to see an end
to the "tit-for-tat" that dominates politics.

The Obama and Clinton campaigns fired off dueling press releases this week
over a top Hollywood donor who was a supporter of Bill Clinton but is backing
Obama in this race.

Obama told donors at a Houston fundraiser Thursday night that the nation
will remain at a standstill "if we continue to engage in small and divisive
politics and tit-for-tat."

"Our country is at a crossroads right now," he said, citing problems in Iraq
and domestically with education, energy and health care. "It's not as if we
don't know what the solutions are. What's missing is the inability of our
leadership to develop consensus."

Obama was speaking to about 300 people gathered at the Communication
Workers of America union hall.
