Clinton, Obama Talk Business With Al Hunt on BLOOMBERG TV This Weekend

NEW YORK, March 28 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- With the presidential campaign now focused on the economy, Democratic presidential hopefuls Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton discuss business, banking and fiscal policy on this weekend's "Political Capital with Al Hunt" on BLOOMBERG TELEVISION(R). Bloomberg's Al Hunt talks with the candidates in separate interviews about regulation of financial markets, the subprime mortgage crisis and the economy. Highlights of the interviews:

   -- Democratic presidential rivals Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama each      claim they would be a stronger than the other in an economic crisis,      arguing they had better advisers.   -- Obama notes to Bloomberg's Al Hunt that former Federal Reserve Chairman      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."    

The full taped interviews will air tonight at 7:30 pm ET on Bloomberg's "Political Capital with Al Hunt" program. "Political Capital with Al Hunt" airs every Friday at 7 pm ET and is repeated throughout the day Saturday and Sunday.
