Obama on Clinton’s ‘Reality Check’

Obama is confused. He’s confusing a false hope to change the entire constitution and government with a false hope to change policy. Does he call the moderators at last night’s debate liars too?
I used to support Obama until I couldn’t take anymore of his hope and believe messages ad nauseum. I expected an elaboration but it never was born. He says change but at the same time his team is made up mostly of former Bill Clinton policy makers and cabinet members?
He is using these words because he knows how to get people to vote for him like any other politican. He even stole those words from Bill Clinton. Sadly I was suckered in but have now woken up.
I now believe he is any angry man with something to prove against this entire nation.

I have faith in Obama and believe that he can bring change to this nation. We need change in order to survive. Hillary would only bring more of the same. Do we really need another administration that is well-versed in contraversy, scandal and polarization? If you think that we do, vote for Hillary because that is exactly what we will get.

stop spamming bunny. i very much doubt you really supported obama. the man does not bring false hope. he brings genuine hope and change that we CAN believe him. i feel sorry your pessimism doesnt allow you to see this. he NEVER has said he wants to change the constitution. he teaches the constitution at University of Chicago. im tired of people making ill-informed arguments and personal attacks. he turned down big money from the ultra powerful law firms to help the underpriveleged on the south side of chicago. he offers the kind of America i can once again say im proud to live in.

America is entering a new chapter in its history and Obama is leading us there. Hillary, who is doubtlessly an honorable person with an incredible history of public service, does not represent the degree of change that the American people are starving for. My support is firmly behind Obama who will be able to end the divisive politics of the Bush/Clinton era and unify the American people.

I think all of us need to stand back for a moment and take a deep breath. While Obama is gifted with gab we should not be satisfied with the good feeling. Those of you who support him challenge him to put beef on the buns so you will not be disappointed. What are you afraid of. If he is worth his salt he’ll pass mustard.
We have to much at stake to be cute again with this election. We are not electing a buddy we are electing a President of The United States. We don’t need someone who is talking about hope we need someone who can realistically governed and get us out of this mess. Look at yourselves people and asked am I really this lazy to fall for the hype again.

to obama.i think you are very strong person who could become one of the best president ever,keep on being strong don’t give in you have good idea’s.today we need leaders with good vision’s,i hope you have all the success in the world….sign ceasar jackson

People need to realize that among us there are natural born leaders. Ghandi, MLK, Reagan, Kennedy, FDR, Washington. They were all born to lead. Washington’s first job? leading the army in the biggest war this country ever faced. he was the man of the people. and in this country, isnt this government by the people? experience does not guarantee quality leadership. bush ran a state, and a baseball teamn, but that experience did him no good. Did any of you see Hillary shrivel and get defensive when she was attacked last night? That does not make a good leader. Obama, with the help of edwards, parried clinton’s barbs. I remind you that even highly educated people with degrees in political science support obama. hes not some man off the streets. he was the first black president of the harvard law review. he is smart, passionate, and inspirational, which form to make a good leader.

yea, if you watched the debates, you wouldve seen that the republican candidates had no idea how to deal with obama when the question was posed. he was named the only candidate capable of defeating each of the republican candidates.
please, research before you attempt an argument.

I’m struggling to remember a bit of history, can anyone help? I remember Lincoln had some experience before being elected President. Seems it was some ‘state house’ experience and maybe a few years in Washington. Too bad he didn’t have more experience…

Ale-
The republicans want Obama to get the nom.

I am tired of this “hope” word. Change & Hope are becoming the nomenclature of a pop-political arena which is already terribly ridiculous. The parties on both sides look particularly goofy in this entanglement, but as an independent voter in the state of Pennsylvania, I am leaning towards Obama. In regard to experience compared to hiring a pilot seems like a juvenile correlation. I favor Obama, despite his frequent and abundant use of a presidential dialect comparative to 5th grade rallies, despite his “lack of experience”, despite his color/ethnicity/religion, despite his win in an Iowa causcas… I favor Obama because its clear we need something different. Whichever direction this country is headed, it’s unlikely anyone can screw things up any more than they already are. It is a drastic change we need, and whether the demographic of young (historically apathetic) or old (historically narrow-minded) vote for him, he has convinced an alarming amount of people. His political history, however brief, has been one that supports his beliefs and those that he represents. He is as consistent as we can expect from modern day politicians. And while he may be young, I can take greater comfort in knowing that some of our greatest social & economical presidents like our 42nd, 35th, & 26nd had the same thing going for them.
Also to believe that whatever moral ineptitude Bill Clinton carried, will translate to his wife is preposterous. I will say that it does seem as though Hillary is fighting greater demons from her past more than any other candidate, minus perhaps Giuliani.
I am not set in stone on any person, in fact I even find more to favor with Kucinich than many others, but with the research I’ve assembled on my own (much beyond online polls and google news wires -let’s read some books colleagues!) I’m thumbing my way towards an Obama in the oval office.

Alex/ceasar jackson/ JamesJ:
I am opposed to every letter in your post.
The American Electorates are tire of the marlarkey you, the Republican, and the status quo are selling.
In less than 2 days, Obama will reign supreme again!
I do not know what country you are in but I am in the US and here we can choose whom we please and we can have hope and dreams.
This country is under attack economically and philosophically by other countries and terrorists. To survive it need to be united not fragmented into Red and Blue states.
As far as the Republicans winning in November 2008, it is not going to happen. They ran this country into a ditch. The Status Quo is all for divisive population. That is why we need Obama to inspire us to be teh best that we can be regardless of our demographics.
I will be to South Carolina to do my part to keep hope alive. I think he has NH. I have not worked in a campaign since 1988…have been moved to do so until Obama.
P.S. I do not flip flop on my choice because I do my homework first.

Angelina obviously is working either for the republicans or Hillary’s campaign. Enough already.

Uhhh? Am I missing something here? I thought it was Bill Clinton who was the president not Hillary. If that is the case, I would like one of you Hillary fanatic to list for me her experience?! All 35 years please. While you are at it, may be the changes too?

experience is overrated. if you were hiring based on experience, you could get a terrible worker just as easily as you could get a good one. while it should be in the equation, people have a tendency to make it an exclusively deciding factor, which can and has had grave consequences.

Angelina and every one else who would vote for a democrat, shame on you. It is a fact that young people and people who would wage war on unborn babies, vote with their feeelings and not with intellegent reason. Wake up to reality, and stop trying to recreate the human race; you are not God and the compassion your group seems to have for families are like so many lies the democrats have thrown our way in the past, and continue to throw our way every day. Shame on every one of you and especially Obama who would like to win this presidential race, not for the good of the country but for the power it gives them. Try being american for a change and get it right before america becomes a third world country that doesn’t stand for anything but selfishness and a refuge for all you fine soldiers whose only courage is to wage you’re own pathetic war on those who cannot defend themselves.

You’re a little late, taking advantage of a our country at a time of need was already done by rushing to needless war for financial gain on the graves of those who died on 911.

How many of you are being paid to blog for Hillary? We all love Bill Clinton, but the Clintons back in the White House is the LAST thing this country needs. This would be like knocking us back to the nineties, back into the same entrenched rivalries and divisiveness that prevents our government from getting anything accompished and moving foward. Politics is personal, and America NEEDS a fresh face who can build new relationships across lines of party affiliation.
We all want change, but change requires cooperation among Republicans and Democrats. Sen. Obama is a politician who has gained the respect of Reps and Dems alike, has a very broad appeal, and he (far better than Hillary) is capable of bringing some measure of unity. Hillary would like you to think that unity and cooperation aren’t possible, because she’s desperate at this point to tear Obama down. What kind of leadership is that? Why so little faith, Hillary? Is unity really so far-fetched? Maybe it was in 1992, but it’s 2008 now, and I think the majority of the country disagrees with her. We want to move on, and that means ANYONE BUT CLINTON. Twenty years of the same two families in the White House is way more than enough.

Are we really going for better experience? or are we for better judgment? scan history for great leaders and you will find them judging better.

It’s a pity indeed that people can’t seperate emotions from reality.I really don’t know why anyone would expect Hillary Clinton to change the problem she is part of.This woman collects money from firms that constitute problems to this country.
This woman has been in goverment for the past fifteen years.How on earth is she going to change America for good.Even a blind,deaf and dumb man knows that Obama is the only candidate that have the moral capacity to change America for the better.
American’s are smart enough to know what they want when they see it,that is why I am not suprise about the poll result in NH.GO OBAMA.Only the best is good enough and OBAMA IS INDEED THE BEST.

I do not understand these random comparisons to Bush–please stop using the Hillary camp talking points. Trust Hillary–or better yet a Clinton? She voted for the reckless war in Iraq and now says she would not have waged it if she was President.
I am amazed at her constant switching of positions. Obama is NO Bush. Obama is Intelligent, has good judgment, & DID NOT support the war Iraq.
Clinton is more like Bush in the sense she continues to use lies and distortions of her opponents records–not too mention she too agreed with Obama on Pakistan, when just months ago she called his statements naive.
Hillary MUST BE STOPPED FOR THE FUTURE OF AMERICA!
Obama 08

We leadership of america does not belong to only two families the Bushes and the Clintons they had their time and lets have something new,something different, something inspiring,Thanks Obama for making us believe in ourselves again now please get us out of this mesy the clintons and the bushes put us in.

to Rkoz, yes we did elect george bush who did not have any experience and look at the condition of the country today!! That’s reason enough to let everyone know HOW IMPORTANT EXPERIENCE REALLY IS

A few points:
1) Abraham Lincoln never served in public office before being elected president. He helped end the Civil War, freed the slaves, and is considered one of the greatest presidents of all time.
2) Many recent polls have stated that while Obama would defeat all of the top 5 republican candidates, Clinton would lose to ALL OF THEM. Talk to me about electablity now.
3) Obama’s mention of womens’ rights to vote had nothing to do with Hillary. If it applied as an attack against her, it applied as an attack against half the people in this country, and it simply wasn’t.
4) The point about Barack Obama isn’t the promises he makes, it’s the conviction and hope he brings to those promises. He honestly believes that he can change the country, and with nearly half a million individual donors, not to mention casual supporters, the public obviously has faith in his abilities.
5) Ask politicians about his time in office, and it’s clear that Obama is not only well-liked in Washington, he has been very capable, often reaching across the aisle to make bills even with extreme conservatives. In the early stages of campaigning, he was the only candidate still attempting to pass legislation while also making the run for president. He may not have been a senator very long, but his time has been well spent.

So where and what were the Clinton’s experience in 1992? At that time, the pitch was for “change”. Now, she is basically the entrenched one and the same political mood is doing her in. That’s the reality check.

I think every loyal Republican should be sending contributions to Hillary. If she is nominated we’ll see the greatest Republican landslide in 50 years. On the other hand, Obama could actually win. Depending which hack the Republicans nominate, I might even vote for Obama. I held my nose and voted for GWB twice, because Gore and Kerry were just sooo bad. I like the sense of optimism and hopefullness Obama shows. I think he is sincere.

l belived obama should be the best american leader,
