Excerpts of Obama Interview on Fox's "Special Report With Brit Hume"

On defending his record for bankruptcy reform:
"I'm happy to talk about my record in fighting on these issues compared to Senator Clinton. In fact, she's directly on record as having supported a bankruptcy bill that was precisely the kind of thing we're fighting against in this proposal."

On Obama's ability to spur change compared to Senator Clinton's:
"I think there's no doubt we represent the kind of change that Senator Clinton can't deliver on and part of it is generational. Senator Clinton and other's, they've been fighting since the sixties, and it makes it very difficult for them to bring the country together to get things done."
