Obama tops $30 million in second quarter

A Republican will never get elected in the current climate. The real race for the presidency is between Hillary and Obama. If you’re sick of partisan politics throw your support to Obama. The baby boom generation split in the sixties and they’ve been at each other’s throats ever since. Time for a new generations. Go O!

Considering it’s Stephanopoulos, a former Clinton adminstration official, can his “sources” be trusted?

How much of Obama’s $$ is Republican Mischief$$$-just to weaken Clinton?

Barack does not accept money from Lobbyist or special interest groups. He’s the real deal.
Obama/Clark in ’08

I don’t get that whole ABC liberal bias nonsense. In my city, as well as cities around the country, our ABC affiliate produces the FOX affiliate’s newscast.

So when people say Obama has no plan does that mean they were just too lazy to go read his plans that are laid out for you on numerous sites. Read his senate floor transcripts and look at his campaign site and supporting sites don’t just complain that you cant figure out his plan because he didn’t tell it to you on TV or in a commercial. Do some educational research of your own. Our generation knows how to use the internet for our educational benefit. Hope is getting old? Yeah I lost hope in baby boomers doing anything good for my generation a while ago. I am looking forward to earning less than my parents, global warming, cancerous food supplies, a decreased quality of life, freedom, security and education for my peers and more recently a supreme court that wants to oppress me more than protect me as a women and a student. Yeay thanks for caring so much and accomplishing your vision! Obama is the best change possible out of the democratic candidates with a chance. Hillary is the same old same old and her foreign policy does not reflect the world view diplomacy that Obama grew up surrounded by. The republican candidates all have voting records that make me cringe. Obama can work with both sides of the isle and the generation becoming aware of their role in this society want his ideas to have the power and implementation that a presidency can bring. I envision that and I hope for that. Don’t tell me hope is dead, that’s a problem your generation can keep to its self. We need hope.

I believe that liberals are more racists than conservatives. There is no reason why Obama shouldn’t be ahead of Hillary. Hillary is ahead in the polls not because of her accomplishments but because of Bill’s. I support Obama because the baby boomer’s time has passed. Its time to pass the torch to the younger generation. With all of the incompentence in the government these days having a impressive resume doesn’t mean a thing. Vote Obama!

Fundraising is the only Poll that counts.
Barack doesn’t “owe” anyone because most were small donations from concerned people (I am 51, not a youngster, and I follow all the polls that show how unpopular Hillary is outside the Dem. base.).
Please report the funds raised FOR Q2, not just the total. Hillary only raise 19 M for Q1, not the 26 M the media continues to report. Barack had 30% more at 25 M. for Q2.
Please, someone report what would happen if Al Gore endorses Obama? It is clear to me that Gore, Bloomberg and Nader are keeping options open only if Hillary wins. If Barack wins its clear sailing to victory – Also consider what if Barack chooses Joe Biden for VP to cover his main weakness???
PS Obama won the debates and online polls confirm this. Its media types and Dem. Pundits afraid of the Clintons and Repub. who want to face Hillary who say otherwise.

Barack is the real deal, and the ideal candidate for this time. There’s a Republican representative in Illinois who is getting in trouble with his party for supporting Obama. He was impressed with Barack’s bipartisanship.
Obama/Warner 2008

Hey people…no more choosing the “Rich” to run our country…We need to start picking from the ranks of our country. A “Rich” man has no Idea how it feels to be poor, to need, or to want. The rich are unaware of what it feels like to be fed with a wooden spoon, and having to eat cup-a-noodle soup for dinner. A “Rich” man is fed with a silver spoon, and he eats the very best of foods. Therefore, I suggest, let’s start choosing our President, and Vice President mentally at the same time. Ask ourselves, what persons would be best for our White house, and our country? I say, with great respect to all, Obama/Edwards in whatever order…he he! I say support them both for the best outcome. May God bless us all…Peace my Sisters and Brothers…keep in mind we are all God’s children. Have we learned from our lessons yet?
If you need a large dose of what American can be, and is? Please take a little time to listen to Dr. Martin L. King…I’ve Been to The Mountain Top” What did he mean about the “Promise Land?” Where is that land? Who makes it to the Promise Land.?
Dr. Martin L. King Jr. “I’ve Been to The Mountain Top.”

I think part of this is the established Clinton people trying to make Obama the “establishment” canidate so she will be able to blur the lines. The lines of who she gets her money from, and how she championed the war in Iraq as well as the Saddam/9/11 non connection. We need people to make the right decisions at the right time not, if I knew then what I know now. There are many of us out here who knew then what she didn’t know then or apparently still doesn’t know now. I am all for skepticism of EVERY canidate but calling names and offering no substance does not help any of us raise our country to our supposed ideals.

i like obabma, too, but he has very little experience…and keep in mind that every time they do a poll, at least 25% of the populace says they would NEVER vote for a black person. (and i hate to say this, but if the poll is at 25% i’d bet it’s really closer to 40%.)

Ok, here’s my plan:
Al Gore, who endorsed Howard Dean for President in 2004 says he has no compelling reason to run for President, but I think he does. He obviously thought that Howard Dean’s place was in the White House. Yet Dean has promised not to run for President in 2008.
However, and work with me here, Dean never said he wouldn’t run for VICE President. So clearly the best way to elevate Howard Dean to the Vice Presidency is if Al Gore agreed to be Dean’s running mate.
This would rectify two gross political injustices in just one election cycle, leaving the White House to Dean in Twenty Sixteen.
You want the two most qualified people running this country? It doesn’t take a street musician to figure it out.
Gore/Dean 08

Actually, Bill W, HRC is unpopular WITH the Dem base. She’s a center-right politician using corporate money to pay DC advisors for bad advise. If you vesit lefty blogs, like dailykos.com, you’ll see most lefties will show up and vote for HRC, but will work their asses off for Obama or Gore (if he runs). She’s most lefties’ 4th/5th choice.

I don’t understand all this “anybody but Clinton” stuff. She is intelligent, well-spoken, and has clear thoughts about what she would do for America. I think it would be great to have a female president, considering all the trouble that testosterone-laden machismo has gotten us into in the recentand not-so recent past. Before you judge her, just listen to her. Read some on her website. Listen to some of her policy statements and speeches. Go Obama- you’ll make a terrific VICE-president.

Gene, Please get your facts straight. The percentage is ONLY 5% (so 5% of all Americans wwouldnt vote for a black person). 7% said that they wouldnt vote for a Jew. And about 24% said that they wouldnt vote for a Mormon. Besides that, Barack Obama is half white and half black.

THIS WILL BE THE FIRST PRESIDENT WHO HATES THE COUNTRY AND THE PEOPLE OF THE US, Brittain, and Israel ever elected. Wake up America.

hillary can win the primary but she’ll lose the general election.
obama can lose the primary but will win the general election

there must be a reason why there have only been two senators in the past 100 years voted in a president.
that’s because senators are incredibly unqualified because the senate does nothing os any consequence.
if any senator dem/repub attempted the white house they would be so overwhelmed it might take them two years to recover from the shock.
first statement will be the standard:
“i had no idea it was this bad”.
plus none of the candidates are very smart.
it used to said that the senate is where presidential ambitions go to die.
the obama/clinton/thompson/gingrich are all media creations from CNN/NBC/CBS.
if dems want to win they will have to nominate al gore/richardson.
if repubs want to lose nominate guiliani.
obama: qualified for senate job? no clue he hasn’t been there long enough.
what has he ever run? a voting drive.
how will he run the pentagon? or food stamps?
thompson: he’s a quitter.
clinton: no experience doing anything but arguing before the mrdia that bill’s an innocent man. oh yesh and being on the wal-mart board of directors and fixing edd-jooh-kay-shun in arkansas. that worled well.

LibSlayer, you are such a hatemonger resorting to a scare tactic.This might work among other hatemongers, but not with everyone in our country. The good news (bad news for you) is that most Americans are open minded, and will not fall for such idiotic characterizations. You can debate about a presidential candidate’s credentials rather than his/her name and outright lies. BTW, Obama has everythig it takes to be a great US President! Maybe that’s what knocks a daylight out some bigots.

Personally, I’m really impressed on both Obama’s and Hillary’s stand on the issues….oh, wait…no one knows how they really stand on anything. Just stick your finger up in the wind and see which way you should stand…. that’s leadership. The country’s screwed with either of them.

There are only three headaches for Americans these days: Osama, Obama, and Chelsea’s mama.

Rassmussen cites Edwards as the one with the most either Dem or Rep who would vote FOR him compared with those who would vote AGAINST him. Obama and Clinton will have to really do a lot of convincing if they are going to overcome those who will vote against them, even with a crowd supporting them now.
Have you looked at the Republican candidates? If there is a slight chance the AGAINST will prevent a Dem from getting back into the White House, I’d say your best bet is Edwards. We don’t want to lose this one.
Also, what’s up with the Clinton’s support from Rupert Murdock?

what would johnny reid edwards, the trial lawyer who channels dead babies back to life do with the security situation? sue the terrorists? or be like bush and get them jobs at airports.
edwards entire life has been a hoax and what is with that elizabeth? is she running or him? where is he? out buying some more workshirts?
edwards is a very soft man who got one term in the senate as a quirk.
i wanted to go visit his 102 acre estate with the 30K sq ft house but he has gestapo and gun turrets set up on the perimeter.
edwards should run for county commissioner maybe get a little experience. come back in 20 years for assistant senator.
he offers nothing. don’t forget he avoided $600K in MHI taxes by setting up an “S” corp for himself. just like the poor peoples fund he is using right now to finance his presidential campaign. what’s he running for? president of the local chamber of commerce?

Obama isn’t old enough or experienced enough to raise the money he is raising or run the campaign – so who are his handlers? They are the ones who will tell him who his cabinet should be and what his policies should be. So who are his handlers? At least with Hillary you know it’s Bill. Is it possible that with Obama it’s Bill. Hillary/Obama 2008 followed by Hillary/Obama 2012 followed by Obama/? 2016 is the target.

Obama is a baby boomer. He’s in the same generation as Hillary albeit near the tail end. If he can’t be truthful over something so minor as this, he doesn’t deserve to be president.
For those here who claim he’s not a baby boomer because he wasn’t aware of Vietnam, Kennedy’s assassination, etc. at a young age, geez what utter ignorance you have. Go back to junior high and retake American history. This generation was given its name because of the spike in births following World War II.
Those born towards the tail end, and not just during the years you conveniently lobbed off, are quite different from those born near the front end. When Kennedy was assassinated, a 5 to 8 year old at the time was hardly any more aware of it than Obama was at age 4. They wouldn’t have gone to Woodstock unless someone much older brought them. They may have liked Beatles songs because older siblings played it but as with Obama wouldn’t relate to things like Vietnam until much older. Being aware of key events though was not the criteria used for this grouping.

There’s a FRed Storm Rising! Border Security is National Security!

From the posts it appears that the consensus is Fred and Rudy or Rudy and Fred in the WH. The dems and some of the Republican candidates seem to be trolls.

comment “rest of the world likes and respects her”. what world would that be? hillaryland.
whoa. first name basis with world leaders?
which ones would those be?
the ones that count?
for this first two years, this current crop of candaidates would be 100% lost.
none could stand up to putin or chinese.
and when it comes to middle east or any crises, forget about it.
they are all UNQUALIFIED.
most of their resumes come from HOAX, INC.

wolf blitzer the self appointed manager of everyone’s campaign.
let’s see what he’s got.
he got all the answers.
all wolf needs now are the questions.
govern, wolf, govern!
if the dems want to win use gore/richardson.
if the repubs want to win give their contributions to hillary. repubs could then run, oh say. ronald reagan III an imaginary candidate. and WIN!
if gore hasn’t burned too many bridges with his global (F)arming tirades.
a lot of voters will feel sorry for gore over 2000 and he may get a lot of unexpected votes.
i once lived in IL and saw obama as a backbencher in IL senate operate.
all he ever talked about was abortion. which should be a sore point with blacks, since they have about 30% of the abortions and have aborted themselves into a secondary minority through unfettered abortions.
i would advance a very good theory.
with the 35 years and born in USA.
let’s go directly to a lottery for president.
we might even get a better choice.
certainly could not do any worse than the bush-child.

I do not want you to agree with me, just think for yourself and not form your entire opinion on a soundbite or blog entry by anyone… me included
can’t comment on Edward’s taxes… I would have to research your statement to verify its validity.

Who said Obama owes favors ? His money was from the most small donors ever in history for a 2nd quarter reporting period. He takes no money from PAC’s nor lobbyists. He never worked for the board of Wall Mart or Haliburton or Exxon or any big corporation.
Who said Obama’s resume is thin ? His 10.5 years as senator are some of the most highly effective problem solving in modern politics. He listens to all sides respectfully and has passed bills unanimously. He can beat polarization and reduce the divisions in our country.
