Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama talks with Countdown's Keith Olbermann America's fiscal responsibilities, the approaching anniversary of the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks and the situation in Iraq.

Below is a transcript of their conversation.

KEITH OLBERMANN, HOST, COUNTDOWN: I asked a couple of malleable conservatives over this weekend what they would want to ask you. And their answers were strikingly similar. One guy who makes about $40,000 a year said, "Ask him why he's going to raise my taxes." Another guy makes about a million dollars a year, said, "Ask him why he's going to raise my taxes."
