Reports from the event at the Manhattan home of Marc Lasry, a billionaire
hedge fund founder, said Mr Obama and Mr Clinton put on a relaxed and
friendly double-act, showing no trace of the animosity from the bitter 2008
campaign in which Mr Obama defeated Hillary Clinton.
Mr Clinton said that the Republican plans to slash public spending as outlined
in the House Republican’s budget released earlier this year, and later
endorsed by Mitt Romney, were “wrong-headed” and would lead to
more pain for ordinary Americans.
“What they’re talking about is something that is fundamentally different
from our experience in growing this economy and creating jobs,” he
said. “And so that’s going to be the central issue in this campaign.
And we’re going to do everything we can to clarify that choice.”
