Obama Warns SC Voters of ‘Hoodwinking’

Here are 4 questions for the candidates during the next debates which have not been answered.
Do you support the Military Commission Act that empowers the president at his discretion to declare any U.S. citizen as an enemy combatant and subjected to detention without charge or due process, which could include anti-war protesters?
Do you support the John Warner Defense Authorization Act which allows the president to declare a public emergency and station US military troops anywhere in America as well as take control of state based national guard units without the consent of the governor in order to detain disorderly American citizens?
Do you support National Security Presidential Directive 51 which establishes a new post-disaster plan allowing the President to be charge of all three branches of government for as long the Presidents determines the duration of a national emergency, instead of the Congress making that determination? If you do, how is this different from a dictatorship?
Do you support the bill before the Senate called the The Violent Radicalization and Homegrown Terrorism Act which allows the government to spy on all Americans Internet and email communications?

It is OK for Obama to say this, but Cuoma is a racist when he says shucking and jiving.

look at how bitterly these two are fighting, like a couple of children. would you want children running the nation in times of war, or worse, taking complete control and hijacking the nation in a bout of childish rage? the republicans are no better. we need better options and the destruction of the two party system that has let ALL of us down!

Are you saying that because he is an African American he cant take over as president because there are too many problems in the U. S caused by George Bush. Are you saying a black man cant fix some of these? We need a white woman to do it?
Shoulds we wait until America is back on its feet with relatively fewer problems before we take a chance on a black person to lead. I’ve never been so insulted!

Qualifications? hmm, What qualifications did George W have? He was the black sheep of the family. He lost more money than he ever made. He became an owner of a baseball team with no money down. He became Governor of a State with no Qualifications. He bacame the President of these United States of America with no Qualifications, then you guys decided to teach him a lesson and let him fix his mess and you got a worse mess. Now America wants Qualifications.. Is Bush still laughing? All the way to the bank…. lol

Correction Jay: most of Obama’s support comes from: 45 and under, College Edu. in the 100,000.00 range. Most of Hillary’s support is Blue collar workers(men&women), HS edu., some blacks, and Hispanics.

The obama supporters arent going to change their minds. Neither are the Clinton supporters. The whole Clinton strategy was to bring Obama back down to earth . The thing that folks dont understand is that is where he belongs. We are talking about a guy who is taking this HIGH ROAD stance that we who are over 15 years old know is a pile of crud. We understand that obama is taking using a political strategy. So Clinton, Edwards, and the Republicans are all taking turns popping the guys baloon. So what. The scary thing about it is that Senator Obama COMPLAINS so much about it.

Bill Clinton was a great president who was hated by the right for no substantive reason. They hated him because he was popular. I still like the guy. I’m voting Hillary because I work for DOD and she is on the Armed Services Committee, plus you get 2 for the price of 1 with Bill as her husband. I don’t know Obama, that means risk. If it’s experience vs. change, I prefer experience.

“Yes, I do trust Hillary to tell the truth. I am a 46 year old Male, and the Clinton presidency were the best years of my life, financially, and in many other ways.”

They were the best years of my life too but Bill is not going to become the president again. Hillary and Bill are NOT one person.

I am an Independent for Obama. If the Democrats are stupid enough to nominate “The Clintons”, then I will take my Independent vote elsewhere. I will not take partial blame for helping them take the office again. We have had the same two families for ever and I find that troubling. In fact I will purposely vote against “The Clintons” and maybe if they lose, someone fresh will emerge in ’12.

At one of Bill Clinton’s appearances in SC on Wednesday, an elderly black man stood up and said “black people are voting for Obama because he’s black. But he can’t win and he will make sure the Republicans win in November.” Clinton showed “concern” while a few others nodded.
After it was over, reporters tried to get the man’s name. He refused to identify himself and left with his BODYGUARD! Now, tell me. How many people attend town hall meetings with bodyguards, especially elderly black men in SC? This guy was a plant by the Clinton campaign used to continue to play the race issue.

The Clintons will do anything to win!

I hope that the voters in South Carolina go to the polls in the greatest of numbers, black, white, latino, asian etc., with the understanding of the historic opportunity before them. They have the opportunity to vote for a genuinely GREAT MAN in SENATOR BARACK OBAMA, a black man who’s intelligence, vision, character serve as an inspiration to ALL AMERICANS. I worked on the Clinton/Gore Campaign in 1992 but can no longer suppor CLINTON STYLE POLITICS which attempts to degenerate American political discourse down to its most base levels.

Even Hilary wins the White House, the economic during the Bill Clinton’s era won’t be back. One of the reasons attributed to the rosy economic during his era was the windfall of “.com” revolution. No matter who the president was, the economic grew itself. On the other hand, Hilary already claimed Bill would not be in her cabinet when she is the president. So, those who think they vote for Hilary will get Bill should wake up and see the truth. The truth is what we need now is somebody who can unify the country and push the agenda to fix the social security and health care which our parents really need now.

Although the 90′s were a fun time, I really don’t get the sense Sen. Clinton is somebody we can trust. Trust and honesty are what differentiate the Bushes and Nixons from the honorable presidents.

I am once gain saddened by the evident generation divide. I have a friend who was once a “Goldwater Girl” (I am in my sixties). Later, after some political maturity set in, she joined me in the “children’s crusade” for Eugene McCarthy.
No one is getting any younger. Everyone is getting older. Having said that, my support for Obama is not race nor gender based. One of the reasons I support him is that I do not want a role-confused former president in the White House. When Hillary Clinton was making some of her first campaign speeches, Bill had a hard time standing still behind her. Now he feels compelled, as do some of our bloggers here, to defend HIS presidency during Hillary’s campaign. He even periodically lets the word “we” slip during campaign speeches.
I loved and hated the Clinton years. He was clearly the most intelligent president we had had for a very long time. He was also the most contentious. His “zipper issues” still haunt their marriage and they were seldom seen together in public until the campaign started. I was pleased to see Hillary Clinton become senator. I privately say that I think that was part of the deal she and her husband made after the whole Lewinsky debacle- that he would help her do that and stay in the background. He can’t do that (and clearly won’t do that) during the election campaign for president. I don’t want “two for the money” this time around.

Agreed Judith. As someone who also made the journey from Goldwater to McCarthy, I admire Hillary but would rather have Barack in the White House. Think about the message that would send to the rest of the world….

I thought Bill was a pretty decent president, but come on! What does that have to do with Hillary? Unless you think that Bill will be running the show behind the scenes the same way people said Hillary did when Bill was President. Seriously though, as far as trust and who is lying and who isn’t, there has never been an honest politician(at least not a successful one). ANYONE who seeks power over the lives of others is not to be trusted.

Judith and Keith — just as in the 60s, you both seem once again confused and caught up by emotions. Seems you are both reactionary in your analysis and justification for supporting Obama. Judith–Bill’s “zipper issues”–what does that mean? Were you one of the ones that were standing in agreement and judgment with Ken Starr and the Republicans on that one too? C’mon it is no one’s business. I just find it odd that the Clintons have been the only ones victimized and smeared endlessly by the REPUBLICANS for decades. And, now it is their fault for the Republicans behavior. That’s right, the Republicans. Think about what you are saying here. These are absurd rationalizations.
Just look at Hillary as an individual. She has a WAY BETTER record than Obama. Look at his Rezco record. It is pathetic. You can rationalize that and his recent behavior since New Hampshire all you want, but the realities remain. He is way weak on Healthcare and other basic issues. Issues that he still will not talk about are delineate with any specificity. I have seen him in person, NV and was NOT impressed with his tactics towards Latinos. Speeches, speeches and NO QUESTIONS FROM THE AUDIENCE. I could only imagine how he would be if were elected for Prez, he’d be so disconnected — as it is, he says he’d surround himself with “other competent individuals.” Please, we have had way, way too much of that already with W. Then where would we be? At least Hillary is calling for transparency in her office. Also, think about this — Obama hasn’t even served 1 term in the Senate. He is immature and sorely lacks experience. Please, wake up. His tactics and the people that he has himself surrounded with– many are former Clinton people. Again, wake up. Obama is behaving despicably in S. Carolina — manipulating Blacks with such racial overtones and language as hoodwinked, bamboozled and that is not exactly positive or presidential. And if that is any indiciation of what his administration would be like — NO THANK YOU.
Electing a totally capable, highly intelligent, highly-competent, hard-working woman to the White House would be sending every bit as much a positive message. PLEASE get out of your emotional state and start thinking rationally — the future of your country depends on it.

now compir the commities on all patries BIOGRAPHY.what do you make of it all? I do not feel he is looking out for AMERICAS BEST INTREST,do you?
