CONCORD, New Hampshire (CNN) — Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama left little question as to his position on diplomacy with enemy states Thursday, days after his response to a question during Monday’s CNN/YouTube debate drew sharp criticism from opponent Hillary Clinton.
“I’m not afraid to lose the P.R. war to dictators,” Obama said in a speech in Concord, New Hampshire Thursday, where he picked up an early Granite State endorsement from first-term Democratic Congressman Paul Hodes. “I’m happy to look them in the eyes and say what needs to be said… I don’t want Bush-Cheney Light.”
In a later conference call with the press, Obama continued on the topic: “Part of the Bush doctrine has been to say ‘no.’ You’ll have to ask Senator Clinton what differentiates her position from theirs.”
