NEW YORK, Jan. 14 (UPI) -- Democratic presidential hopeful Hillary Clinton dismissed what she called a "mischaracterization" of her campaign's comments about rival Barack Obama Sunday.
Many prominent African-Americans, including Rep. James Clyburn, D-S.C., and Democratic political strategist Donna Brazile, have criticized comments by Clinton, her husband Bill Clinton and her aides portraying Obama's message of hope and unity, which draws heavily on the civil rights movement, as unrealistic.
