John Glenn to Endorse Hillary Clinton

What are the old ways, Steve? And more to the point, what new ways do you propose? Be specific, leave out the lofty generalities. This campaign appears to be about tearing down as many people as you can, then bring everybody together! It may already be too late. You say nothing of the established Kennedy and Kerry. Are they past the threshold for age or wisdom? How many old people do you plan to throw out?

Why the sarcastic comment about John Glenn not having the right stuff? He is a space pioneer and an authentic American hero. He was a hero before Obama was even potty trained. I continue to be disappointed with ABC News, having slipped your standards. Let’s have a return to fair reporting.

If Obama gets the nomination, I too will vote for McCain. Obama is getting more arrogant by the day, and that will be his undoing! I am an avid Edwards supporter and I believe he will endorse Hillary, Obama is to much about the upper class, yuppy democrat not the poor as John and Hillary are.

Barack is getting way too cocky for his own good. I believe that this will be his undoing. ABC News, what is with the comment that John Glenn does not have the right stuff? I am offended by that comment. You should REPORT THE NEWS, NOT MAKE IT!

ATTENTION!!: Obama’s wins in Maine and other places are unearned! The media has done a great amount of Obama’s job for him – by pretending that Hillary has basically no strengths, and only Obama has strengths in most of the publicity. If Obama gets the nomination, those who supported Hillary should refuse to accept Obama as the nominee!! Then if they don’t listen to us and impose him on us, at least we’ll know we behaved like people of a real democracy.

Obama = SPOILER!!
It’s creepy how a bunch of teenagers idolize him like a he’s a rock star. And the news, seeing that teenagers are entranced by his empty rhetoric, use him to sell their program. Obama is a media product.

Great Endorsement for Hillary. John Glenn is a true American hero and an inspiration.

Excellent endorsement for Hillary! Too bad she can’t be there with him as he makes the announcement. He’s a great man. And the quip about him not having the right stuff is lame. 1984 was a difficult year. Nobody was gonna win against Reagan back then.

Rude Rude about Glenn not having the right stuff.
What happened to factual reporting…keep your opinions out of news….write an editorial if you need. He is a HERO and with age comes wisdom, something many news people are lacking.

I’m tired of the Obama’s rudeness. I’m also tired of how he dismisses Hillary at the debates…just the way he says her name and looks down his nose. He attempts to dismiss anyone that disagrees with…. I would say his ideas but he seems to be short on those but very long on adjectives. Anyway I urge all Hillary supporters to switch to McCain if she loses the nomination. At least then we will have a safe strong America. With Obama we will have negotations with Iran…and many other crazy America haters.

Day by day, Obama’s arrogance shows! He’s so sure of himself and seems to enjoy the adulation of the young voters that see him as a new JFK. But what have he done for the few years being a senator?
Compared to Hilary….NOTHING! I just wished that his new found success goes to nowhere and one of these days, he’ll wake up defeated by a person who really deserves to win…..HILARY CLINTON!

This election definitely dividing Democratic party. If Obama become the nominee then I have to vote John McCain. He is a good man, but he is not an angel as media present him. He doesn’t have any military experience to be the commander in chief, he doesn’t have any international affairs experience, so I can’t just select him cause he can give good speech. I suggest he waits few more terms then try again, I will have much more confidence to vote for him (if he is a good and honest candidate)

I agree with shawn. Obama don’t have any military experience to comman our military. He needs to learn lot more about international affair. I agree he can energize young people, but he needs to energize the economy. In senate he did not bring any strong bill yet. He talks about not voting for Iraq war. Honestly, as an American I thought it was very disloyal of those senator who did not vote for Iraq war. At the end I can tell that much, only way I will vote for Obama (if he is the nominee)if Hillary support him just for the sake of Democratic party.

You know, experience is one thing, but this quote direct from an Obama speech really gives me the creeps.
“… a light will shine through that window, a beam of light will come down upon you, you will experience an epiphany … and you will suddenly realize that you must go to the polls and vote for Obama” – Barack Obama Lebanon, New Hampshire.

Did you miss the masion that Rezko helped Obama pay for. Obama is uber rich
and in bed with crooks to.

I’m not settling for the pro-war candidates like Hillary that the Democratic Party establishment is trying to force on us. Obama has proven himself to be a leader full of charisma, intellect, vision, hope, and a drive to CHANGE politics for the betterment of the nation. He is attracting liberals/progressives, moderates, disillusioned conservatives, Republicans, and independents.
8 years of GOP rule is enough. We can’t afford to risk losing a presidential election again. The people don’t support her, don’t want, don’t like her, and won’t vote for her come November. I know I won’t! Can’t she take a hint? Democrats don’t want her.
Obama is a uniter. He’s winning red states! He is bringing more people to the Democratic Party. He will help us not only win the White House, but also enlarge the Democratic majorities in both the House and Senate, something Hillary can’t and won’t do.

media hype … obama hype… trust me when the general election comes around all those so called obama republican voters will not vote for obama… they will vote for McCain and leave Barack obama in the dust..wondering what happened.
Carl Rove will be laughing sooo hard at all you foolish democrats who have fallen for the media hype and picked the “rock star” …over the woman of substance, experience and judgement.

“Even half dead people endorse her”
I don’t get you Obama supporters, why do you have to be so downright rude..

If every woman in America voted for Senator Clinton she would be president. And all the guys that wanted to see a strong and smart woman in the WH voted for Hillary, it would be a landslide. Lets make it happen America.

Having a member of you family die of cancer is horrible. Three of mine died hat way. That is why I support health care for everyone.
My uncle never bought health insurance for his family. He was a cheap S.O.B. and my aunt paid the price. She died of colon cancer last year. If Senator Clinton’s plan was in place my uncle would have had to cover his family. And my aunt would be alive today. She left behind six kids. And they have never been the same.
Covering everyone is the right thing to do. People like my jerk uncle would be forced to do the right thing.
I guess Obama hasn’t thought of situations like my aunts. He leaves 15 million uncovered. I would never vote for a candidate that would leave so many people uncovered. Hillarys plan is affordable for everyone. And her plan helps those that need help.

John Glenn is an American Hero and a great endorsement. The Obama supporters in this blog who are making rude comments about John Glenn just show the level of immaturity and lack of respect Obama supporters have.

Obama supporters are just venomous. Makes me want to support Clinton even more – scandals and all…

Personally, I don’t think presidents have much impact, but they do receive much glory.
The fact that Obama just waltzes in expecting to be president just rubs me the wrong way. He doesn’t have the work ethic to deserve all that glory.

I won’t vote. I’ll just stay at home. Presidents don’t make that many speeches any way. His speeches make my stomach turn.

I completely agree with so many of the comments above. The media and so many Obama supporters try to convince us that he is the best candidate and he will bring much needed change. How is he going to do this? We hear his lofty dreams (in an attempt to be like JFK) but where is the substance to these dreams? And I find it ironic that so many people were angered when Hillary mentioned that LBJ helped Martin Luther King and yet who does Obama turn to for help? Teddy Kennedy! Can’t get much whiter than Teddy and his family and yet that is ok. Why? I thought it was hilarious when the Kennedy’s and Oprah came out in full force for Obama in California and Massachusetts but it did them no good. Hillary won and yet we hear very little about that. I have always voted as a democrat but if Obama gets the nomination then I will vote republican. My conscious will not let me do anything else. Our country deserves a true Commander in Chief not a great pretender….

The Obama supporters will no doubt trash Glenn, say he was bought off, or claim something else on why he endorsed Hillary. According to them all Obama endorsers do it because they want to and all Hillary’s endorsers do it because they “have” to.

I think the Clinton supporters might be getting a touch too defensive. I saw a couple people trashing the endorsement – as I’ve seen Clinton supporters trashing Obama endorsers. But then the long littany of 1) Obama is too arrogant (confused that Obama and ABC aren’t the same person), or 2) Obama is just mean (confused that Obama himself isn’t posting on this blog).
If this is any indication of what four years of Hillary would be like – constantly reading blogs with such messages defending her (and I do think it would be like that) – then yet another reason to not nominate her.
I did my part earlier today, here in Virginia.

Me too Satish. America got fooled by another guy who convinced us he was ready to be President! Everyone really like him too!

I just saw former Senator Glenn on MSNBC and he was talking about why he endorsed Senator Clinton. He said she was the most experienced person for the job, she will be ready to lead America on day one, she is a great person, she has great ideas and plans to put America back on track.
Former Senator Glenn went on to say that he has known Hillary a long time and has worked with her in the past and she is a fine leader. And he has seen her grown into that role.
And for all of you out there who have a problem with Senator Clintons vote on Iraq, he set the record straight. It was George Bush that got us into Iraq. And only him. Bush broke a trust with Congress.
And by the way all you Obama people,
Obama was not even in the senate to cast a vote on Iraq. But he gives the impression he was. That is like me saying I was against the war so vote for me for president. I was not in the senate to cast a vote and neither was Obama. Soldiers are fighting and dying and Obama is using Iraq as a issue to get into the WH. And he is not telling the truth about it. Shame on Obama for not telling the truth.

Trashing a American hero is alright with you? And we should just keep quite. It is not alright with us. There are so few heroes left.
And if Obama gets in there, there will be a flood of blogs on fire with his failures in office quicker than a blink of a eye. Obama has built himself up, the media and his followers have gone crazy with this Mr.Clean guy the only place to go is down. Every politician has their skeletons and Obama has a lot to answer for.

IF OBAMA IS VOTED IN THE DEMOCRATES DON’T HAVE A PRAYER!

if you can’t appreciate or recognize the contributions John Glenn has made to America, how can you be expected to show the proper respect for seniors who aren’t as well-known?

C DEPP – no, trashing a hero isn’t okay with me, and I posted my response to that near the top of this thread.
But it was something like two posts trashing him, which ABC has removed, and quite a few responses about Obama, Obama supporters, etc. That’s why I say it comes across as maybe a little defensive.
And not to get into a tit for tat argument, but I’ve seen far more posts trashing those who endorse Obama. Maybe I’m wrong, and I’m a little defensive, too. But that’s how it seemed to me.

I have been a Democrat, active volunteer, donor etc. for over twenty years. I will not be part of the party if Obama is the nominee. I have thought long and hard about this. Reading the news daily, seeing the news daily, knowing that Obama is never questioned/scrutinized at all by the media is extremely disturbing. I do not like all the manipulation and propganda surrounding his campaign. When I read the baseless, tasteless posts written by his supporters; I am confused as to why this man is being propelled onto us. I am burned out at hearing how wonderful he is from everyone, yet there is no evidence of work that he has done in his life to back up his philosophy. Hillary has a string of evidence connecting her to working with children, education and the working class. Obama’s foot work during a campaign, is far less than my work, on my own time apart from my full time job. He is being sold to the public in the same way little Disney Pop starts are sold. I refuse to buy into it, because I know “All That Glitters (in this case, made to glitter) Isn’t Gold.” I will simply sit this out, stop contributing and become an independent. God help if he wins, because the Republicans will win.

Cocky means; unpleasantly proud and conceited. It is more than apt for B.O. So to whom ever Ms. Kitty was scoulding, there is nothing wrong in using the term. It is short for Peacockish. Perhaps these might put Ms. Kitty at ease; Vain, conceited, egotistical.

Posted by: steve | Feb 11, 2008 9:41:55 PM: – “Hillary= the old ways, even half dead people endorse her, we want a new, young leader, with progressive ideas” ———— Oh yeah, and Ted Kennedy is a young stud I suppose? I’d Take Glenn, the former Marine pilot and Astronaut over Pot Belly Teddy Kennedy any day. ———————
Obama is so phony with his Change Mantra. He wraps himself in old Washington, pretends to be the heir to JFK from the 60′s, claims to have a hands off management style like George Dubya, and tells us that’s change. ——– I Don’t think so ——- We don’t need another Laz-E-Boy like Dubya, and don’t need a JFK without the wisdom tempered by combat. Don’t get me wrong, JFK and his brother Robert did great things for civil rights. But they were hands on They did not just talk a good game, they did it. —– JFK took a hands on approach, and yet still gave us Vietnam, the Bay of Pigs, and brought us to the Brink of Nuclear Annihilation with the Cuban missle crisis. If JFK was not hands on, and let his advisors have their way, the shooting war would have started in Cuba, and ended in the Soviet Union and US with Mushroom Clouds. ————- We are finally getting rid of Hands Off Laz-E-Boy Bush, listening to idiot Cheney and Rumsfeld, and don’t need another. Just say No to Laz-E-Boy Obama. He’s no Change – Been there done that, no thanks.

Republicans wants Obama to be the democratic candidate,he is going to be eaten alive on Election Day. The news media has been soft on Obama by not saying anything negative about him. He is advertising his healthcare program as universal for everyone. Before it was not for everyone, only Hillary plan was. The news media is not talking about this flip flop.
Do not underestimate the Republicans. They have the information they need to blow Obama out of the game. There no need to use that information now. If Obama is the nominee,they are going to run their negative ads as many times as necessary. Rezko will be Obama’s racketeering Arab friend, Hussein and Osama Bin Laden will be his terrorist relatives. While the ads may not be true, it is the perception and the fear factor of another 9/11. It going to play like all terrorists will have a free pass into the USA. Remember Willie Horton 1988 that was not true either.
