WASHINGTON — 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.

The Clinton campaign demanded that Obama return DreamWorks studio co-founder David Geffen's money after Geffen criticized the Clintons as dishonest, among other things. Obama declined, and his spokesman criticized Clinton in return for accepting the support of a South Carolina lawmaker who said Obama can't win because he's black.

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."

1. tit-for-tat

Oh the things I could say here.

But I do hope they stop the battles, it is just what the right wing ordered, Democrats infighting.

2. PArdon me but it was a donor who commented on Hillary. Then she attacked Obama.

HRC is trying to suck all the donor dollars out of the race.

I am tired of the Reich Wing media picking our candidates.
