I would love to have a president with the middle name of Hussein, I think it would do wonders for our image abroad.

Obama is trying to run a general election campaign, he forgot that to get elected he needs the base of the party and that base is now between Edwards and Clinton; Obama can keep flirting with the students, the Republicans and Independents; that sometimes work in the general election but not in the primaries. Now it will get more complicated for him with McCain winning tonight, McCain will take alot of independents away from Obama as he did in NH; people now what McCain stands for, also they know what Hillary stands for or Edwards stands for…nobody knows what Obama stands for other than he wants change and hope! ah and taht he likes Reagan! LOL

Jake, what do you have against Hillary?? Are you afraid to have a Women lead are Country.. You might want to look at what bush did to us for the last 7 years.. I thought ABC was a fair news media, but I see that old “FOX” slant in more and more of your Election coverage.. You should have the guts to say that your a Republican.. Believe me your opinion shows through in your stories.. Hillary will win, and I hope that she picks Obama as her VP.. That will give us 16 years of Democratic rule

If Hillary gets the party nominattion she be easily kicked out in the general election by any Republican, thai’s clear. Most people won’t vote for her they will turn their vote to the Republican. Hillary is a nice woman but she can’t lead this country into the right direction that the American are expecting, it will be contrally.Thanks….

masses can be blind, they hear, see what is not there. If they would open eyes, they would see Hillary as great leader. Not the one who cannot express himself clearly so everyone understands his words. When Hillary speaks – I know what she is talking about, when O. has constantly says” oh, I did not mean that” and ” I did not understand the question” – well, if someone does not understand question, good thing is to ask: ” what was the question? What did you mean exactly?” But this does not appeal to Mr. O. It can cause major disaster if this would happen by dealing internationally. Do you think that other countries/leaders would wait for “oops, I did not mean that…but….”? Kind of scarry.
I keep repeating: good leader has to have experience, diplomacy. These I did not see with Obama.
If you need a president that will be
ready from day one,Hillary is the one
and not Mr Obama.

we need hillary for get thing done the right way just like his husband done not to give all money to the rich people and cut the poor people like medicare and medicade this people need the helpt not a cut
obama not ready for a president
plus he his realy not and american name
go for hillary you will be very happy she his a very smart women

That’s all? Nothing untrue in that message.

I agree with carmen. I am a mother and an engineer. I do not support Hillary Clinton. She is the wrong woman to be elected President. She may be smart but she is so divisive. If she is elected it will be like having George W. but only in the reverse. We need someone that can bring people together, not drive them apart. I think Barack Obama is the only one on the Democratic side that can do that.

honestly, the Clinton machine at mud slinging again!!!!…Well after being president for all those years , obviously you have all the necessary connections to pull the strings!!!!!…how about slinging the fact that Hilary Clinton has only seven years real experience against Obamas 11,as a senator??? lets leave Bill outr of this…..or is it experience by association that counts???
and after listenning to the mud….it really is just half truths….what the clintons perfect at…give them half truths, then twist it….to our favor..!!!.

Carmen, Hilary can deal well with certain people, but not all people. She doesnt know how to connect well…..Bill, yes….Hilary no….
Hilary cannot hold talks with say the middle east to bring peace….Bill, maybe….not Hilary…Hilary doesnt even know the flight to Africa..Obama can travel the whole world and connect very well with all sorts of people from Asia, to the middle east, to africa..and back to all levels of people in the melting pot of America…all sorts of backgrounds..to connect with the younger generation…Hilary brought Her daughter…because really she had no idea how to…..Bill…yes!!! Hillary…NO!!!….!!!!!

Way to go, CLINTON’S AND THERE SUPPORTERS, knock a black man down while calling yourselves LIBRALS, way to go.
Hillary has NO EXPERIENCE, Bill Clinton was the President and Gore the Vice.
There was no CO-PRESIDENT that is UNCONSTITUTIONAL.
We have two first term Senators running for the highest office in the world, NO, Hell No.
NO MORE 11 SEPTEMBER 2001’s.
We have had enough greedy, self- serving, me first thinkers, that helped caused the massacre of 911, and the current WAR.
Thanks Bill Clinton & Al Gore way to go.

I would hate to have a president with the middle name Hussein, expecially one who spent his childhood in the Islamic schools of Indonesia like Obama did. He wasn’t raised in Chicago, you know.
He’s the son of a militant Muslim, who maintained a household AND a wife in Kenya during his several years in the US as a student. When Barack was 2 years old, his father abandoned him and his mother, and went back to Kenya to his wife there, where he took a job with Jomo Kenyatta’s government.
While in Kenya, Barack’s father would take yet another wife, another white woman.

After Barack’s father abandoned he and his mother, Barack’s mother remarried a man from Indonesia, another Muslim. Barack and his mother left the United States and went to live in Indonesia, where Barack attended Muslim schools and learned to quote the Koran by heart. He is listed in the records of those schools as a Muslim because that was his religion.

Any African American who would deny this historic moment in history by not supporting the first viable, qualified black canidate for President is still trapped in mental slavery. It’s not an accident that educated voters support Obama, while people who wanted to have a beer with Bush voted likewise. Beyond race, this country needs a united voice to face the new challenges of the 21st Century. How can Hillary unite the world against Terror if she can’t even get the respect and support of Republicans and Independents. She won’t get any laws passed because she doesn’t have the God given talent to inspire and to lead beyond her comfort zone. I would like to see a woman in the White House too, however there is a black man who aligns himself with the ideals of Dr. King (The Great American) and I would not be looking out for my childrens best interest if allowed my vote to be for a “Stay the Course” candidate who just doesn’t have that “IT” to really make change happen.

I am disgusted by Hillary’s campaign and the way it has stooped to such tactics as this robocall, which attempts, simply by invoking Obama’s middle name of Hussein, to conjure up all of our Islamic boogiemen. OK, his father, who was never part of his life, and his stepfather, were Muslims. And? Obama has chosen a different path, yet at the same time probably has a better understanding of Islamic nations than any president or candidate…that’s a bad thing???

This election should not be about party affliation, but it is about the influence one will need to correct the dispondent condition of Washington. The National deficit is out of ciontrol, pork barrel legislation is taking the country down as a whole. We have lost way to many American jobs, yet continue to offer re-organiozation tax write offs to corporations. We continue to provide the oil industry tax relief while they make billions in profits. Our military is the weakest since WWII. We have lost our influence in the world arena and our citizens dis-trust Washington. There are only three people with the ability and influence to change Washington’s behavior – Obama, Edwards and McClain. Hillary has burnt to many bridges, cooperated with to many lobbist, is distrusted by Congress and the Senate and holds a likeness to George W Bush, when it comes to fool hardy aggression. If there is going to be change in Washington, that will give justice to the middle class it must begin with the middle class getting more involved and demanding an end to foolish spending, mis-use of our Armed forces, pushing lobbist out of the White House and Congress and greater accountability to the American people. When was the last time you voted yourself a raise? Gave yourself a fully paid health care plan? And why are you on social security when you can be guaranteed almost your full salary at retirement? And how many times have you approved spending hundreds of thousands of dollars, for stupid research projects, or build ing bridges that go nowhere now or later, rather than putting the money toward education of your children? Why have we let members of Congress put themselves on pedestals, while tens of thousands of Americans go without heat, food, and shelter. Do we need change? Do we need a house cleaning in Washington? You bet we do! Vote for influence. Vote for diplomacy. Vote for personal belief> Vote for a better tomorrow our kids demand it!

Obama and Washington ethics:
“I am in this race to tell the corporate lobbyists that their days of setting the agenda in Washington are over. I have done more than any other candidate in this race to take on lobbyists — and won. They have not funded my campaign, they will not get a job in my White House, and they will not drown out the voices of the American people when I am president.”

I have been a democrat all my life. And i am an Obama supporter and Clinton was my second choice all along. But after reading the comments from Clinton’s supporters…so hateful some bordering on racist. I realize that if Clinton wins the nomination, i will switch to a third party candidate. I cannot belive the amount of hate within the democrat party. They sound more and more like republications. Clinton Campaign now mirrors Karl Rove. Is this what we need? Republications are going to win for sure because we keep insulting and destroying each other.

Democrats made a very large error in bringing Obama & Clinton to the front. If there were ever an easy year to win…this was it! Neither is electable at this time. Clinton has no idea how to govern without her little minions (Bill et al) around and Obama has a Muslim background. NOT electable. Not in America, not right now. Second reason – we do not elect Senators very often because most times they have never RUN anything. They are lawyers that take money and spend it. Senators spend your money! Thats all they know how to do – if you spent any time running a business you learn how NOT to spend money – or at least spend it wisely. Senators spend it so their budgets will include similar dollars the next year so they can do it all over and justify themselves! Get with the program Democrats!
I’m not a big fan of ANY of the candidates in either party…I think this is the case for most Americans. That is why there is a 2-way and 3-way tie going on…

Who cares if B.O’s middle name IS Hussein. he IS the monst inexperienced candidate in the race. In the fight against Islamic terrorists, we do not need a smooth talker. We need some one who will stay on the offense. Face it, if we don’t win this world wide struggle
non of the other issues we care about will matter.

just remember what george bush has done to this country. He is a male and has been terrible for the US. Obama Hussein is a male and he will finish ruinning the US.
Lets give Mrs Clinton a chance to clean Washington. She has a head on her sholders
and it is not only for decoration.

It’s a free country and you can vote for whomever you choose. For anyone threatens to vote Republican if Mrs. Clinton is selected as the Democratic nominee, that’s your choice. I think any Republican nominee will be doomed unless the economy recovers or Bush rating goes over 50% by election time, and Mrs. Clinton, if she is the Democratic nominee, will win. After all, she is a very pragmatic politician, and her policies are more centrist than most candidates. All U.S elections have been won with candidates occupying the center, and not on either extreme, right or left. Mrs. Clinton will win because her supporters have always outnumbered her detractors, and she is a proven fighter. She can take anything Republicans throw at her. The same cannot be said about Obama or any Republican candidate who has weaknesses of their own. Obama’s time will come someday but not now. He cannot win the Democratic nomination unless he can pull in more than 15% of the Hispanic votes nationally as compared to 65% for Mrs. Clinton. To do that, he must spend more years working along with Hispanic legislators and people to gain their trust and confidence, rather than just engaging in perpetual running for office, with nothing to show except for some pretty but soon worn-out speeches about hope and change. No one runs for office without espousing these themes in one way or another, including all Republicans. GW Bush did it 8 years ago too. He was to be the ‘uniter’, had success with the Texas Democratic legislature, would reform Washington etc. ad nauseam.

One poster said this “I would love to have a President with the middle name of Hussein, I think it would do wonders for our image abroad”.
Another said this “Women would make history if they voted for Hillary”.
I sure hope that is not the only reason your supporting one over the other.
I’m not convinced either one has what it takes to be President.
The next debate, better have clear answers regarding the looming economic stress our country is about to face.

Reading thru the comments,i can see why americans are tagged the most ‘ignorant and easily swindled’set of people.If the Dems. base find it hard to rationaly asses the candidates,their hopes and aspirations for america’s future,then america deserves GW for another 8yrs,at least.

I am a supporter of Barack AND Hillary. “Hussein”, big deal. He’s seems genuine and has the energy I like to see, but we have to face facts. Politics IS a dirty game and as the saying goes it’s not what you know, it’s who you know. Hillary has been with Bill for the whole ride: Attorney General, Governor, 8 years in the White House, and elected to a second term as Senator from New York. Bill did a great job and left this President with a Surplus of $236 Billion Dollars in 2000.(Go to Zfacts.com and see the national debt monitor spinning like crazy at over $9.2 TRILLION Dollars as of 1/20/08.) It will be a great team Hillary in office, Bill as an ambassador of peace to regain the respect of the world AND Obama in office as Vice-President. As VP Obama will gain the knowledge, get to know the right people and use that position as a strong foundation towards his Prsidency in 2016. I just hope he (or she) will accept the VP job if offered by one or the other and SHOULD be offered to each other for REAL CHANGE IN AMERICA! Economy, Health Care for ALL, Clean up the mess in Iraq, and bring jobs back to AMERICA!
Go Hillary’08 and Go Obama’16

I am pleased 2 announce that I am supporting 1 of the most intelligent men N the USA. My suggestion 2 his supporters is 2 not b discouraged by the negative comments. The agenda is 2 eliminate HOPE. Which will ultimately prevent progress. The days have returnd where racist use intimidation 2 discourage blacks. The tactics are too familiar fortunately unsuccessful. N othing has really changed N reference 2racist views. America we HAVE grown pass being limited 2 racist views. Go B.Obama

Did I mention your claims were false? :) They are.

Republicans might actually be smiling right now as they know that who ever becomes their candidate is, will be the next president of the US. Admit it people, ass everyone can see, no one in America is ready for a real change. Do you think america is ready for a black president with a middle name that might be common, but as far as americans are concerned, scary? You think Mr. Obama will win the Midwest and the South? Don’t think so. On the other hand, is the country ready for a woman president? Let’s face it, is the Midwest and the South ready for a woman to be their leader? Ask the conservatives. Unfortunately, both Clinton and Obama are devisive. I will vote Democrat when the time comes. But if Clinton and Obama do not stop putting each other down and being devisive, neither of them will win the Presidential election. Let’s face it, neither of them are without a lie in this election. Both lied about something. So what? What matters most is who can lead the country back to respectability after the dark times of the Bush years.

And what exactly is wrong with the Robocall? His name IS Barack Hussein Obama, or am I mistaken? He did get money from lobbyists, didn’t he? Where’s the beef?

I would not be surprised if it’s found out that the Robocall came from Obama himself so he can play pretend-victim all over again. PUHLEEZE!!!!

I consider myself an Independent and have voted for both parties in the past. I do have to respond to the “Clinton” name conception. I travel the world over and this year alone have stamped over 14 countries in my passport. During Bill Clinton’s administration and to this day the world loves the Clintons the same way they endeered JFK.
Americans have over 152,000 troops in Iraq and evreyone else around 10,000 of which 8,000 are from the UK. The current coallition forces that are backing the US are Albania, Armenia, Australia, Azerbaijan, Bosnia-Herzegovina, Bulgaria, Czech Republic, Denmark, El Salvador, Estonia, Georgia, Kazakhstan, Latvia, Lithuania, Macedonia, Moldova, Mongolia, Poland, Romania, South Korea, and the United Kingdom with Poland and Denmark soon to pull out.
There are 194 countries in the world and of the list above the US sends $$$ to most of them annualy just to survive. So who do you think is and will pay for the projected
$1-2,000,000,000,000 (trillion) dollars for this war?
The money…big deal, the cost is nothing compared to the numbers that matter. Over 30,000 wounded, 28,000 American and 4236 fatalities, 3929 American. What a shame that our sons and daughters are being killed when 180,000 other countries could have backed up the US to not only help us pay for the war but supply troops.
How many boys and girls would be going home to their families if there were more troops supplied by the other 180,000 countries that despise this current President for abandoning the process,the UN and the common courtesy of involvement. George Sr. was a good man and a smart man to first get the worlds backing.
Disgrace, dishonest, cheater might be what you think and being President doesn’t put anyone above being human, but I can honestly say from correspondance that the world respected and loved Bill Clinton as well as Hillary. I do respect your opinions and thank God we live in a country that can allow us to speak our minds…God Bless America.

No one is against change if it is for the better. No one is against hope if hope can be realized. How do we achieve change in politics? Not by talking about it, but being involved in the trench, working and working and building coalition to a critical mass to make change. American history is evolutionary, never revolutionary. GW Bush promised change and unity when he ran 8 years ago. He also ran as an outsider to clean up Washington. We all knew what happened after he got into the office. Obama has spent so much of his political life running for office and he has not had time to build contacts in the Hispanic community to the point that they will be comfortable voting for him. That’s why his time won’t be now. It’s just simple math from here until convention time. Obama will lose in all the big states, and most of the West where Hispanic votes are critical. He will probably carry South Carolina, his home state of Illinois, and some Southern states where the majority of the Democratic electorate are African-Americans.

I AGREE WITH REV. LOWERY AND HIS POSITION THAT BLACK UNSUPPORTERS OF OBAMA DO IN FACT HAVE A SLAVE MENTALITY. THEY HAVE NOT CONSIDERED THE POSSIBILITIES OF THE NATION NOR WHAT IMPACT IT WILL HAVE ON YOUNG BLACK BOYS AND GIRLS. WITHOUT THE OPPORTUNITY TO VOTE A BLACK PRESIDENT IN THESE CHILDREN WILL CONTINUE TO HAVE INFERIORITY COMPLEXES. I BELIEVE HE IS QUALIFIED & DESERVES BLACK VOTES. ALL BLACKS VOTES, NO REASON NOT 2. WHAT MORE DO U WANT, BLOOD. STOP EMPOWERING RACIST VIEWS 2 SUPPRESS

Some people here should get a grip and go beyond, race, gender, religion or partisanship preferences. This is not a toy store where you can say: I want a black president, or I want a woman president. Use your judgment, inform yourself. By the way, no matter what you hear from the presidential candidates,Clinton’s formidable health care system, for example, DO NOT BELIEVE SHE CAN DO IT ON HER OWN, SHE NEEDS CONGRESS TO PASS ANY LAWS(and she failed once already). If Clinton says she’ll have universal insurance over her dead body, that’s what will probably happen if we get a Republican congress(THE REPUBLICANS ARE ALREADY SAYING:NO WAY THE USA CAN FUND A UNIVERSAL SYSTEM). America is no dictatorship unless H. Clinton wants to become the female version of Hugo Chavez( which wouldn’t surprise me at all) . So, please, do not believe empty promises. Obama’s plans have a 90% more chance to become real because he also appeals to Republicans: the Executive & Legislative power working together, that is what America needs, think about it…

I am voting for obama, if hilary wins and becomes this totalitarian dictator that oppresses the underpriviledged’s rights, then I we will see revolt and crisis…and that will be on YOUR conscious.

i realy like the way do obama start is politic i think if i was american my vote will goes to him but i will continue to support him he is the best candidate who have beeb ever exist we love you i am haitian but the type of love did i got for you is more precious than life my
