claim they would be a stronger than the other in an economic crisis,
arguing they had better advisers.

Paul Volcker, a supporter, is advising him on the financial crisis and
said he speaks to billionaire investor Warren Buffett "on a regular
basis."
-- In defense of Alan Greenspan, Clinton tells BLOOMBERG TELEVISION, "I
think you have to look at his entire record and context. I think
there's enough blame to go around for all of us."
-- Regarding the campaign, Obama tells Bloomberg's Al Hunt, "We're in the
middle of a heated primary. People are really intensely into it. And
some of our surrogates have been saying silly things."
