NEW YORK, July 10 (UPI) -- Primary rivals Sens. Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton continued their fence-mending efforts by raising funds together in New York.

The two Democrats heaped praises on each other during a Women for Obama fundraiser Thursday, but Clinton allowed little flashes of resentment shine through, The New York Times (NYSE:NYT) reported.

"Barack and I were talking before we came out here," Clinton told attendees, "and he said 'You look kind of rested.' I said 'kind of' is the right descriptor."

She told the crowd it was time to move beyond the frustrations of the primaries and pull together to put Obama in the White House, the Times said.

"Anyone who voted for me has so much in common with those who voted for Barack and it is critical that we join forces, because the Democratic Party is a family, sometimes a dysfunctional family, but it is a family ...," she said.

Obama, D-Ill., noted he and Clinton, D-N.Y., may have had their differences during the primary, "but we also know that because of what Hillary accomplished, my daughters and yours look at themselves a little differently today. They're dreaming a little bigger and setting their sights a little higher today."
