Jeff Berkowitz: On the war…, on a question asked about Al Qaeda…if we leave, Al Qaeda becomes prominent [in Iraq], what does the United States do then? Hillary Clinton was pretty strong—in fact, she was talking about al Anbar Province as an example of what the U. S. troops can do, Barack didn’t quite match her on that point, is she focusing on the general election, and is he focusing on the Primary?
Robert Gibbs(Obama for America Communications Director): You would have to ask Hillary Clinton about that. Let’s understand that there wasn’t Al Qaeda in Iraq until a group of people that sat on that [Democratic Presidential Candidate debate] stage cast misguided votes to invade a country that had nothing to do with September 11th. Had we listened to the judgment of Barack Obama four and a half or five years ago, we wouldn’t have gone to Iraq and Al Qaeda wouldn’t be there either.

Rev. Jesse Jackson (President of Rainbow Push Coalition): I have not been asked to and I—
Jeff Berkowitz: You haven’t been asked by Barack Obama to give him your support?
Rev. Jackson: No, to campaign.
Jeff Berkowitz: If he does, would you do it?
Rev. Jesse Jackson: Well, that’s hypothetical. Right now, my focus is on…
********************************************
Jeff Berkowitz: You’re not going to tell me your numbers are up there with Hillary, Barack and John Edwards, are you?
Cong. Dennis Kucinich: I’m telling you that the race is in January.
Jeff Berkowitz: So, you think, seriously, by then, you can be ahead of those folks?
