It would be naive to imagine that voters who looked at the Clinton years as prosperity and unity years would not want a return to that prospect. It may not be former President Clinton’s personality that drives the entire Clinton machine as a shadow influence but the sense of security felt then that is absent now, and that many feel is impossible to attain through an Obama win simply for the factor of race which has always been devisive in America. Without a truly solid race-blind win, the likelihood of Obama delivering a term of peace and prosperity seem slim. That no President elected may be able to produce that outcome is a real possibility, and that may be the fear and uncertainty that increases the division within the party, and helps to polarize it toward one or the other. What Bill or Hillary or Obama want may be irrelevant to voters who prefer a fighter in the White House for their interests rather than against them as they perceive they have had in George W. Bush. That is the change they want, and the prospects that Hillary can deliver it before Obama can deliver must be considered high simply because her husband delivered it.

Is having an affair with Monica Lewinsky one of those “good things from the 1990s” that Bill is speaking of??? What a hypocrite, both he and his wife need to learn a lesson in humility.

I was able to go graduate school and get a good paying job in mid-90′s. I can’t imagine how bad economy has been gone and how high health care insurance rate is. we are four with one girl and boy; even with 6 figure income we can’t balance our check due to cost of health care and uncertainty of job.
I don’t pray to God very often but since Hillary is running for president; i pray every day that she is our next president.
I checked Voting record and work history of Edward, Obama and Hillary, I found Hillary’s resume most appealing. American will have to pay big price if Hillary is not the nominee from democratic party.
If you have not voted vote Hillary!

It is amazing to see how determined some people are – Americans, yet – to bring race and gender into this election. It is amazing because most Americans are – male and female – mutts – that is, people that are of mixed heritage and ethnic backgrounds.
Instead of posting only certain sentences from Mr. Obama’s book that don’t explain what he was really trying to say – why don’t you ‘research’ the scientific term – ‘melatonin’? Melatonin is the chemical that makes different people’s skin – different colors. It makes white, olive, and yes, darker – skin color – and the amount of melatonin a person has – is determined by their DNA – before they are born.
In his book, Mr. Obama said that as a very young child, he lived in many different places, but he ended up being raised in Kansas by his mother and his grandparents. He’s as ‘American’ as any other American – and he apparently struggled with the question of ‘who am I’- in the same way that every young woman and man – is expected to do at a certain age.
Whites in America – are responsible for treating people with different skin colors as ‘lesser’ individuals and – African-Americans have been killed at the hands of white men in this country. Has the country changed – or not? And should one speak out about the backward thinking involved in racism in America – or remain silent? Racists – represent the worst that American has to offer – to ourselves – to our sons and daughters – and to the world.
In America – we are all equal – and if you are biased against someone because of their race, heritage, or gender – maybe you should ask yourself – ‘why’? ‘Why would I believe that someone is ‘less’ than me – because of their color, gender, or heritage?’ Did someone teach you to think that way and if they did – were they right? I wish you the best of luck in figuring out – that Mr. Obama’s color – has nothing to do with his message – a message that invites everyone – to work together – to better the state of our nation.
As best I can tell, Mr. Obama is about change and trying to move the country forward. Any one who is still seeing color or gender in America today – doesn’t truly understand the meaning of the word – equal.
Racists – don’t speak for me – and they shouldn’t be permitted to speak for America – either. You have the right to have your opinion – but you should also expect to hear from those of us – who do not – agree with you.

You know, it’s time to come together as a country an allow people of other ethnic cultures to run this country as well. Just ask yourself, would you be this way if the canidate was hispanic, jewish,chinese american, japanese american, korean american. Are people still sleeping? This is 2008., get over it already. The United States of America is now a mixing bowl of all nationalities and it is something we’re gonna have to get use to. All of our youth seem to be more mature then senior peers. It’s sickening. What is so sad is that our children today are dating others children of different nationality simply because they love each other and our future is just that. So come off the racial divide because it is not just offensive to the people of race it is a slap in the face to our youth who could care less about race. Believe me just because you have some years on you and you may be over 50-60 does not mean that you are more intelligent or experienced then someone in there 40′s. So i’m gonna disagree with the earlier comment that’s it is offensive to have someone in their 40′s run for President. Anyone can be what ever they want to be, they just have to inspire to there desire. If you ask me with the amount of parents out there that don’t know how to do their own childs Algebra, geometry, or trig, please don’t talk about experience. most parent’s are so busy working to keep this country afloat that they don’t even have the time to parent, only to become a friend to their child instead of a parent and then get ran over by there kids, please wake up people who has time to ponder racial issues. I BELIEVE IN OBAMA ANDI COMMEND EVERYONE WHO AGREES THAT THE TIME FOR CHANGE HAS COME.

It is always about you, Bill. What position did Ms. Hillary Clinton hold in your administration? Secretary of State, Defense Sec., Sec. of Finance? What? Explain.
What I remember about the 1990s is spending about $80 million of taxpayers’ money to define the word ‘is’ or “I did not have sexual relations with that woman, Monica Lewinski”; all the while knowing you were lying. I also remember the infamous blue dress, Paula Jones and the other women.
Many Americans wish to forget those, Mr. President.

What I love about America the most is Freedom of Speech and of our own opinion.
As you know There is always a lot of bashing between the candidates.& realizing that if Hillary were a man she would be commended on her strategy for her campaign. I too was mesmerized at first with The new candidate & his speeches. Then I did some research. So after all of that. And listening to the Ads. I will leave you with a few links to go to and let you form your own opinion. And then I want you to let the people of your town and your state where the primary is going to be held what you know. One of the web sights has over 250,000 people who have made statements. I have personal quotes. & a weblink where you can here what his minister from his church has to say on Sundays. Knowing that we do not have much time, I think the American people have the right to know before the other party embarrasses him.. Which they will and are starting to. Thank you for your time.

————————————–
HERE ARE SOME DIRECT QUOTES FROM BARRACK HUSSEIN OBAMA…
From Dreams of My Father, ” I FOUND A SOLACE IN NURSING A PERVASISVE SENSE OF GRIEVANCE AND ANIMOSITY AGAINST MY MOTHER’S RACE”. (Barack Hussein Obama)
From ‘Dreams of my Father’, “The emotion between the races could never be pure, even love was tarnished by the desire to find in the other some element that was missing in ourselves. Whether we sought out our demons or salvation, the other race (WHITE) would always remain just that: menacing, alien, and apart.” (Barack Hussein Obama)
From Dreams Of My Father: “That hate hadn’t gone away,” he wrote, BLAMING “WHITE PEOPLE — some CRUEL, some IGNORANT, sometimes a single face, sometimes just a faceless image of a system claiming power over our lives.” (Barack Hussein Obama )

Dee, let me ask you this – why would Barack Obama associate himself with the likes of Tony Rezko? They had a nice little real estate partnership and Tony’s probably going to be spending seveal years in federal prison for all kind of improprieties. This story briefly popped up in a debate when Hillary called him on it, but of course the main stream media quickly came to Obama’s aide and choose to ignore the story. It will come back to haunt him in the general election, the Republicans will make sure of that. If Rezko opens his mouth and talks then it will the beginning of the end for Obama.
