New Pro-Clinton 527 to Ding Obama in Ohio

Why would Mrs Clinton accept donations from a slanderous organization? If she does, then I have lost total respect for her.

Go, Hillary Go. I still have faith in you. If you lose, run as independents.

And so in the face of the growing likelihood of defeat, HRC and her some of her supporters would rather make a last-ditch effort to tear Obama down rather than adhere to any sense of minimizing/repairing the divide in the Democratic party going in to the convention. But hey, it’s never just been about HRC or “The Clintons,” has it?

Sooo… their point is that great orators make poor presidents? As in Lincoln, Kennedy, et al? Speeches are what politicians DO- duh! Who’s the moron running her campaign over there? No wonder this Obama’s eating her lunch.

Mike – Sorry. I know you keep trying with that but hey, keep banging your head against that wall and maybe you’ll knock that cynicism/anger loose.

Go Obama!

This looks like advanced racism to me!

yep, this is the new argument here. Obama supporters are some sort of crazy cult who worship him like sheep. not so. just because we are younger, statistically more educated, and passionate doesn’t make us a ‘cult’

This makes me sick.
Go and finish this…win Obama.

When Clinton thought she was “inevtiable”, she decried these tactics and threw heaping criticims on the GOP groups who ran them against kerry. What a hypochrite! I think the voters who see these will remember teh mean vindicate Hillary and she will inflict more damage upon herself.
She should publically ask 527 groups to run postive messages and not negative. But she will not. The Clitonistas will try every dirty trick and change the rules after agreeing to them.
The 527 group and Clinton are doing more to drive voters to McCain and to other GOP candidates. But she does not care….what ever it takes for her to get what she wants. Mama knows best, she thinks.

Why isn’t Obama confronting the Larry Sinclair Issue! I want A Democrat in the White House! Can’t Bear to think of a Rebublican there again… Bill Clinton had to confront the Jennifer Flowers Allegations! We Can’t have this come out in the 9th. hour and ruin our chances! PLEASE Confront this Issue and get it out in the open and Destroy It!

All of the elected officials, listed as being a part of this group, should be voted out of office. Let the change begin!
Hillary, you just don’t get it do you? We are tired of this type of candidate. You need to immediately denounce groups like this and do everything you can to stop them.

What’s wrong with an organization supporting a candidate they believe in?It is no worse than the move on .org that endorses Obama.Furthermore instead of getting caught up in the rhetoric I wish people would truly stand back and look at the issues and who could deliver solutions,change for the sake of change is foolish.No candidate can deliver without the support of the oposition.I understand people being frustrated with the 8 years of Bush and his policies of deceit,but moving to the far left is not change for the better.You may think a woman in the white house is a weakness but Hillary has shown she has the toughness and moral courage to stand by her convictions,here is a woman who can “walk the talk”

Hard, you are right. Joe Lieberman was able to win after he ran as an independent. Why should Hillary not give it a try? There are still so many democrats who support the Iraq war. If Hillary does not run as an independent, they will have to vote for John McCain, which is worse for the Democratic Party.

The prominence of former Gray Davis staffers bodes well for this effort.

hillary—–get ready for state of the union in 2009—-guess who will be giving it—that’s right—Mr. President, Barack H. Obama—–get used to it………..why not just quit now—-you will not win—we don’t like you or your husband—and if you have experience from his time in office, are you also responsible for his mess ups?–do we remember travelgat, vince foster found dead in the park—

The Clinton’s will never learn and only re-inforce the reasons that voters are picking Obama! The old “attack” politics not only drives a wedge between opponents but also drives away voters who are tired of the “winner take all” attitudes of the Clintons and their likes!

And the reason Mrs. Clinton cannot speak is what?

Anyone involved with Grey Davis is welcome to help Old Hillary out!

Gene: I agree with you. Patrick will be the VP and we will never get them out of office. If Hillary does not win the nominatiion I will vote for McCain and hope her supporters do the same. I would not vote a for a black candidate that is l/2 Kenyan. This is America and I do not cater to candidates running that are not born and raised in America and are part of a different country. He is not a full American black.

The extent of bankruptsy and desperation in the Clinton camp is coming to light. Words can move moutains and that is exactly what Obama has done. Campaigns are about speeches, promises, personalities and campaign management. It is not about passing laws while on the campaign trail and it is not about or sending funds to your consituency. Experience certainly matters when it is an experience that one can relate to and appreciate but if it means knowing where the toilest are in the white house or where files can be hidden, go along with the President on the blunders he is about to commit, this is not the right experience. I am proud to be an American because anyone with the bright ideas and dynamic personality can win the highest office. Bill Clinton was a self made man and great for his time but that is not a reason to continue a dynasty. Keep America for Americans not create our own royalties. Especially when it becomes obvious that all Hillary wants is glory for herself and bragging rights of becoming the first woman president. America needs more and for now just words will do, they seem to brought the dynasty to its knees. Bill Clinton can continue his admirable humanatarian work that he is doing. Hillary can continue to be a senator that has kept the New Yorkers happy and Chelsea can work on her Hula dancing

Hill is trying to make history repeat itself in Alamo. She has nowhere else to go but perhaps back to Arkansas because NY obviously didn’t give her that much of a margin. Look at what her touted Fairy Tale of experience brought her, it is now very clear that she have been tested but didn’t measure up a bit despite the advantages she have. She didn’t even know how to execute her plans, like how she mishandled Hillarycare that drives her to expurgate herself in touring the world. Now with her plan coronation, she didn’t even prepare for an alternate route to her destination when the original road was unexpectedly blocked by Barack. That is enough proof for lack of experience and exposed her as just the biggest Talker herself. Her message is not getting through because the voters just don’t believe in the product.
Hill should learned the lessons of Motorola’s Razr cell phone which was initially sensational and the darling of the consumers. Motorola didn’t know how to improve on it and later became obsolete in comparison to rival’s new products. Now they have to spin it off because their new product is just not good enough. She should admit that she is just not good enough for the public’s taste, the voters have already rejected the politics of lies, distortions and personal destruction which she have mastered. That is the truth and it hurts !
Hill’s new fund raising in NY amidst a campaign battle is like allowing the
commanding general to go home and get supplies to be able to wage battle. I
remember that after Super Tuesday, after releasing the news of loaning her
campaign, her camp muscled her financial backers to trust her and wait for the WI
result. We are now past that point and yet she is back to fund raising, when
will her financial backers finally say enough is enough ? In the meantime,
Barack does not go to fund raising anymore, as funds just keeps on pouring into his cup while he remains in the battlefields among the troops. Can’t you see the bleak situation for your sister ? Time to pull the plug and pull it
quickly, before Alamo repeats itself !

They’ll be “canvassing to pledges of up to $100k”??? Wow, I’d like to see that list of donors. Clinton, herself, should put a stop to this before they not only ruin her image, but if successful, ruin the image of our party as well. Tired of dirty politics, America? Well don’t take off your boots just yet. Looks like we’re going to have to walk through the last leg of this race in the filthiest mud yet.

Please Hillary…run as an independent.
I think we pretty much no that that if she fails to win the nomination the Clintons are over becasue she will never run again…not with Gore running in 4 years. What better way to stick a branding iron up Barack then to run as an independent and take Baracks’s votes and give McCain the election. It would be the ultimate payback. Then she can ride off into the sunset with Bill and leave behind their giant fart for Barack to smell for 8 years.

Guess what, we will see four President Candidates in General election. Mr. McCain, Mr. Bloomberg, Mr. Osama and Mrs. Clinton. Every citizen will find his/her voice. I am proud of America.

Obama’s certainly not perfect, J. And there are several things I do not agree with him on. But he’s about 10 times more capable of bringing about demonstrable change than any politician I’ve ever seen. I truly believe that. Call me naive.

TO MARIANN PEPITONE
WHAT IS A 100% BLACK AMERICAN—AT LEAST HE KNOWS HE COMES FROM KENYA–DID YOU FORGET ABOUT SLAVERY—AND ARE YOU 100% ANYTHING? GET REAL–COME TO 2008–

Looks like Hillary has found her voice . . . Shame on them.

bonnie , Barak Hussein Obama

It is almost amusing to look at the Clintons and all their supporters in shock and confusion, confounded by the realization that they are out of touch with the American People. They just refuse to recognize that outside of NY and Calif., the majority of good, American people don’t like them, don’t want them and won’t vote for them. The American people are making it clear that they can see deceptive, Rovian tactics at play.
It’s time to turn the page …..and the good new is this ….the name Clinton will not be written on the new page!
Obama 08!

LW, please elaborate.

People wake up. Hillary doesn’t have any more experience than Obama. The only experience she has is being the First Lady. We all know if you pick Hillary you will get Bill. He will actually be the president for the 3 time. She continues to use negativity. cry, and slander. That is not what we want in the White House. We need someone who can unite this country. Barack so far as done more than in other president. He has united everyone (race, gender, low class, middle class, rich and the poor) He will be the president of the United States. If we get McCain, we will settle for the same of crap. (High gas prices, Iraq another 10 years, retirement age will be 80)

Words can move moutains and that is exactly what Obama has done. Campaigns are about speeches, promises, personalities and campaign management.
***
Again… he is stealing others words… We have a right to know who is pulling his strings. Who is behind the curtain! Oz…? He is definately not short on promises…

The Cinton’s will destroy the Democratic party rather give up their quest for the Whitehouse.. Watch out America power hungry people are dangerous

Sounds like the Clintons. When the going gets tough start slinging the mud and do whatever dirty tricks you can think of to try and win the nomination. Don’t you get it Hillary if people don’t vote for you then its time to pack it in and move on. Accept reality!!

Mariann Pepitone, wake up! Barack’s candidacy has about unity, the fact that he’s black is just a fact. He’s not running to make a statement, unlike Hillary. How many times has Hillary specificly said that it “time for a woman in the white house”? Alooooooooot! How many times has Barack said its time for an african american in the white house? Never. Quit cloaking your racist inhibitions in such unfounded reasoning.

I feel like the people around Hillary keep leading her down the wrong paths. After last night, her allies need to be straight with her and tell her to stop the madness. This kind of tactic will only ruin her, and not Obama. The fact that she keeps going along with such a poorly run campaign shows that she probably doesn’t have what it takes to be president.

Blake: Elaborate what? Are you one of those suckers eating up the garbage he is shooting? I knew he did not write his own speeches. He doesn’t have the knowledge to do that and he should if he is an attorney. But he was an attorney for a crook that gave him one hundred thousand dollars for his services. Must be nice. Do you think Obama is honest? When he was running for the senate he played dirty pool against the woman that was also campaigning that’s how he won. Wake up. Obama is using the white people for votes and that’s all. He belongs to an all black church that does not like the white race. Obama’s speeches were written by Patrick because Patrick used those speeches when he was campaigning for Governor and I understand he may not get in again. They are both phony and liars.

10 in a row? How many were caucuses which draw limited numbers of voters? Of course, when you’re part of a cultish-like movement that doesn’t mind missing work, standing around for hours waiting for the caucus to get underway – not having to worry about childcare because you’re either too young to have a family or so financially comfortable that this is like an evening out with friends and neighbors so you hire a babysitter. The point is – most of us just don’t have that kind of time. Let us stop on our way to work/home to cast our vote in the privacy of the booth; if we are at home with the kids, we can bundle them up and they can accompany us for the few minutes it takes to do our civic duty.
In elections past, most of us were comfortable waiting for one candidate to emerge through the process – I don’t recall one candidate,his campaign machine or large numbers of media people in the past trying to squash someone’s candidacy until a candidate emerged through this process.
Obama’s people would like to think that Wisconsin’s result points to him as the clear winner: here’s why it doesn’t:
SAME DAY REGISTRATION: many believe that when we make it so easy to vote that just about anyone will turn up – democratic leaders have to wonder if these people will be there in November even if their candidate is the nominee (it’s worth asking, are they reliable voters?)
OPEN PRIMARY: On the day of the primary, voters can pick up either a Democratic or Republican ballot – see below
THE MCCAIN EFFECT: Will we find out that since the Republican contest is for all intents and purposes over, signicant numbers of people crossed over to vote for Obama knowing that in November.
There’s another issue at work here. In past elections, I sometimes preferred one candidate over others going into the primaries, sometimes I needed more time or information and made my choice as the process unfolded. In every instance whether my preference emerged or didn’t, I’ve always been able to support the Democratic candidate in the Fall election. I’m worried though that I won’t be able to do that due to the divisiveness of Obama’s supporters (really nasty personal attacks on Clinton; even the comment made by Obama’s wife that doesn’t deserve any more attention than it already got) and the clear media bias against Clinton and the slanted coverage in mainstream media.
Finally, the media by its own admission (See “A Perennial Press Opera” this week’s Newsweek)has fallen in love with Obama and given him a free pass. It seems only fair that Democrats of some standing help her to get her message out in states as important as Ohio and Texas.

I thought Hillary cried the Change slogan too. She played the experience card, run the dirty ads against Obama, made lots of speeches about the economy and the issues which is proving to be a disaster. On universal health care she did her best but, failed. She’s done all she could to stop the inexperience Obama without success. I think her last strategy is to really go dirty but, anytime she tried it back fired. Maybe a heavy down pour of tears will do the trick this time.
All her 35 years of experience makes me go Baracklly Obamafied.

The creation of an organization to run ads whose purpose “…is to encourage audiences to look beyond the campaign speeches and political rhetoric to specific proposals to address these core issues” is a truly unique way of looking at this presidential campaign. What a concept. I can’t believe they would dare to run ads that ask difficult questions, about issues that could result in American learning to think. We will always have our favorite misogynist male media talking heads to correct any ad and tell us what it says and why it says what they say it says, even though when we read or hear it, it seems to say something else. Thank goodness we have the “free press” underwritten by advertisers who benefit from employing the boys to lead us all down the right path instead of this American Leadership Project. Don’t think for yourself, just follow the boys.

Dear Barack,
Can I be your PRESS SECRETARY? Oh, please…pretty please…I will keep the MAINSCREAM media in place and answer the nattering nabobs of negativism like you never thought possible. Oh my aching GOD, where do I send my application!!!!!!!!
Your friend,
A DEM from NC

Thanks for this news – it’s encouraging to learn that citizens are uniting and fighting back against this fiasco which is unfolding. Time to take things into our own hands and bring REALITY back to the people because neither Obama nor a biased media are doing a very good job of that! The last few weeks have seen this election descend into American Idol territory and it has become an absolute JOKE. Glamor, glitz and waffle will not save this country and nor will Barack Obama. I am thankful that I am one of the MILLIONS who have not fallen for his cheap, empty and thoroughly irresponsible message of “hope and salvation” (with NIL substance). This is not an acting audition nor a Sunday sermon! Wake up America, focus on policies, skills, knowledge and plans – like any normal job require. Once a return to reality is achieved, it will become blatantly obvious that Clinton is the more suitable candidate for the Democratic nomination. But if you want to ensure a Repuplican win in November, vote for Obama as McCain will wipe him to the floor. Case closed.

Blake: I am not as dumb as you and believe me you are dumb. I am not easily led like you. I can see thru Obama and read him like a book without the cover. Face reality when its looking right at you. Obama wants to make history as the first black president in this country. Furthermore it has nothing to do with race. If I were to vote for a black candidate it would be a black candidate born and raised in this country and not l/2 black of another country. I am an American born and raised in this country, respect this country and would not allow my vote to go to a candidate that is l/2 white and l/2 Kenyan.

This is great. If people actually start thinking they will be voting republican.

It is amazing how people follow blindly. Hardball had a Senator from Texas and Chris asked him to mention any achivement of Obama since he has been in the senate, he couild not do it, we are talking about a senator, who want to endorse Obama. He could not answer the question.We are a bunch of zombies in this country.

I agree than orators can inspire and yes work a crowd into a frenzy and I must say Obama is a master at borrowing from and embellishing on words from some of the best.However why do you think that Ted Kennedy,Kerry,Dashel and left leaning liberals are endorsing him?Because he will be in their pocket,Obama supporters are the kind that look for pie in the sky and like the Pink movement in Berkley Calif.hate the establishment until it benefits them

Hillary Clinton’s campaign is tone deaf. It is unbelievable the extent to which she is being ill-advised by Penn,Ickes,Bill, Grumwald and the rest of her high powered first tier entourage. They have been spooked by Obama. There was Hillary in Youngstown, Ohio, plowing ahead with her speech, looking pretty worn-out, and not a word about Wisconsin. Not only does it give the impression of a disconnect, of being in denial while reality was staring us all in the face, it also makes her dislikable and lacking grace. Were I her supporter, I would frankly cringe, I would feel embarrassed. As it is, I feel that way as her constituent. After all she represents New York. It makes all of us here look bad.

There’s nothing better than seeing Hillaryland confused and baffled!

Hillary is an idiot. she has not done anything to help New York IMHO!!
if women are only voting for her because she’s a women, then they do not deserve to vote.

Listen folks … Hilary will not take kindly to any thoughts of her losing the candidacy. Remember it has been her mission from Bill’s first term to some day govern the white house herself. So much so that she turned a blind eye to Bill’s womanizing (Monica provided proof of this)because she was determined to not mess up her plan to lead the white house. For her, this is PERSONAL so do not be surprise at what she pulls out of her hat!

This desperate pathetic attempt to smear Obama will backfire. Remember the “Supers” are watching.

Hillary’s legacy = “Where do I stand on driver’s licenses for illegal immigrants . . . well, er, first I would vote ‘yes’ and then later vote ‘no’ . . . well, er, maybe ‘no’ first and then later ‘yes’ . . . well, really I cannot state my opinion until my focus group tells me what my opinion is, but in general I will be for them in States that that will help and against them in Staes that that will help, hey, wait a minute, I have my opponent’s kindergarden transcript and it says he did poorly in fingerpainting, and do we want a President that cannot fingerpaint?” She smiles smugly and cackles, knowing that her kindergarden transcript has been sealed until 2012.

Where did you get the idea that Obama could move mountains? The only one that can move mountains is GOD and believe me he is not GOD. Obama is a fake, liar and uses the words change to make the public think he is going to make changes in the white house. Wake up!! He means changing a white president to a black president. It doesn’t take a college professor to know that. He wants to make history. His words yes we can mean yes we can elect a black president. If Hillary doesn’t win the nomination I will vote for John McCain and hope her supporters do the same thing. And Obama will pick Patrick for his running mate and we won’t be able to get rid of them for several years. Think before you vote.

This is another example of Clinton’s new campaign strategy: Using Bush tactics, which Americans are sick of.
To call this organization an “independent organization” is laughable, and this is just another example of Clinton’s desperation to win the election. This does not look favorably in my opinion and her bush-like actions are not appealing. This is why Americans do NOT want anymore bush or clinton dynasties–they are ruining America.

Hillary, exit the race with dignity while you can.

Obama is a Decepticon. The Obamabots say “Resistance is futile; you will be asimilated”. We can not go to the Darkside, the force will be with us. We shall beat the Collective, even if we have to join the Klingons (Republicans) :)

I can’t wait to hear from these IDIOTS or receive their mailers. I’m ready to return them with a message of my own, or give them a piece of my mind. IF YOU WANT A FEMALE PRESIDENT, BRING ON CONDOLEZA. I WILL NOT VOTE FOR NEUROTIC HILLARY CLINTON.

Hillary, just stay home. Let Michelle Obama destruct his campaign. She be doing a good job so far.

This is another example of Clinton’s new campaign strategy: Using Bush tactics, which Americans are sick of.

Ellie – Nobody is saying that Hillary shouldn’t be able to “fight back” or say negative things about her opponent. It’s when she makes negative smears based on petty things, takes his words out of context and attempts to construct ads based on them (the “party of ideas” thing from a while back), and spreads inaccuracies and truth-distortions. that’s the problem

TiredinNM , the answer is No NO NO NO NO NO , we will go down with the ship , total destruction.Obama will go down with us.

He does the very same thing Dave and no one says anything about it. You all can deny that all you want, but he does the very same crap. He’s a politician and acts like one, he’s the smoothest I have seen since Bill Clinton, but the difference is Bill Clinton had substance to what he was saying.

Christine, as a younger voter that makes over $80,000, I can say “Yes, I expect that my taxes will increase if Obama is President.” If it saves social security for millions of older people, then it is worth it. It time to stop being so self-centered in this nation, and look out for others.

HEY cHRISTINE, AT LEAST THE YOUNGER WORKERS HAVE JOBS AND CAN HANDLE THE EXTRA TAXES..EVER TRY LIVING ON A FIXED INCOME. NOT ALL SENIOR CITIZENS ARE INDEPENDNTLY WEALTHY.

It is the messenger not the message! Hillary is old news and people just don’t like her. She has sacrificed her dignity so many times it has hurt her forever. It took Newyorkers to elect her for God’s sake. This doesn’t make her anything but a liberal.

you are forgetting,
Tomorrow Sillary has to go to court for PeterPaul vs. Sillary on a Debate day.
Let’s see if the media will talk about it. She has to explain where 1.2 million dollars “disappear” in her Senate run in 2000.

lD: What have you been reading Obama was born in Hawaii spent time in Indonesia and then went to live with his father’s relatives in Kenya for several years. Then he came to the United States. He has not lived here all his life. Get a grip. Read his history. He is l/2 and 1/2 Kenyan. He isn’t even an American black. I don’t vote for candidates that are l/2 American and l/2 of another country.

Not so sure I would want Mrs. Obama as a First Lady. It could be embarassing!

Winning a nomination at the cost of losing the election to Republicans, must make Hillary think twice on the game she is playing. People will never forgive you.

Hillary Clinton is a two term senator. Her first term was largely ineffective. Her second term she has been totally absent while campaigning. Someone please (PLEASE!) tell me how that translates into 35 years experience?

Mike Malter
Some one with experience Mike, not someone who will play president without knowing what he has to do, with no pull in the international comunity nor at home.
At the end Hillary -Obama in the white house would not be so bad…

Mariann, “I don’t vote for candidates that are l/2 American and l/2 of another country.” Why? Give one reason for that statement that isn’t racist or bigatry? Who cares where his family is from? His dad didn’t raise him so he had little influence on his life. He was raised by his Mom and Grandparents, so what difference does it make?

Why is Clinton a monster for daring to criticize Obama? You guys are a bunch of sexist morons. I hope this party tanks to hell. I actually find it racist to think that black men cannot be subject to scrutiny. As a black man myself, I am offended by the notion that asking me questions and criticizing my campaign is racist. I WANT to be challenged. I also think that it is sexist to characterize Clinton in beastly terms because she does what the boyz do. The dems are a bunch of lunatics. Losers.

Roe v. Wade–this is a red herring. The abortion debate is only important to radicals. There are FAR more pressing issues facing this country.
As for social security, a problem remaining untalked about is that the ‘Me Generation’ is getting older and they struggle to maintain personal financial discipline. Rather than save or live within their means, you will be seeing a demand for more social security spending. SS was meant as a safety net to help those in need and not as a replacement source of income. return it to what it was intended to be, and things would be fine.

Crossover republicans voting against Hillary will decide this primary. This, is of course, as a democrat, worrisome to me. I don’t trust republicans, or their motives. Their talking heads are also encouraging people to cross over in open primaries to vote against Hill. Why? I wonder? What’s their motivation? If Hillary is so terrible.. why wouldn’t they wish to go up against her in the general? It just doesn’t add up. Over 60% of true democrats and closed primaries are going for Hill. So called “independants” and “republicans” are swinging it Obama’s way, and they might decide this whole thing. They will do it in TX too… and there is not a damn thing we can do about it. Republicans.. are choosing both candidates.. does this raise any red flags to anyone but me?

On about 80 distrcits that produced 0 votes for Obama in NY on February 5, NYC Mayor Mike Bloomberg said, “If you want to call it significant undercounting, I guess that’s a euphemism for fraud.” Isn’t it unbelievable that this happened in America? Not in a 3rd country???
Are you reporters going to examine further and report who is accountable for this??

The thought of Hillary or Mrs. Obama in the White House makes my stomach crawl. Hillary wouldn’t be where she’s at had Bill not cheated on her.
Mrs. Obama is an ingrate. To say she was ashamed of her country that has been more than generous to her with her privileged life is a slap in our faces. How dare this Harvard grad, lawyer, wife of senator proclaim we are to be ashamed of our country until now that the savior Obama will come and save our “souls”. She makes me sick and people are so duped by this rhetoric! Wake up!

Like the Clinton’s… get real. They have never had or will ever have family or christian values. The only reason Chelsea turned out so nice is that for most of her life, she has been tutored by the best and living the life our tax money has paid for. I pray for the candidate that hopes for and sees the need for changes, not the one that has planned for and has visualized their spot in history. Win at all cost. Ya

Gia Marie
PLEASE…you were just convince by Obama because you like to hear good things, it wasnt because someone said something offensive about him…
What will you do when you see that from all the promises he has made he only does 1 and this is LEGALLIZE ILLEGAL INMIGRANTS???????????????

Who is Barack
Obama?
Probable U. S. presidential candidate,
Barack Hussein Obama was born
in Honolulu, Hawaii, to Barack Hussein
Obama, Sr., a black MUSLIM
from Nyangoma-Kogel, Kenya and Ann
Dunham, a white Athiest from
Wichita, Kansas.
Obama’s parents met at the University of
Hawaii. When Obama was two
years old, his
parents divorced. His father returned to Kenya. His
mother then married Lolo Soetoro, a RADICAL Muslim
from Indonesia.
When Obama was 6 years old, the family relocated to
Indonesia. Obama
attended a MUSLIM school in Jakarta. He
also spent two years in a
Catholic school.
Obama takes great care to conceal the fact that he is
a Muslim. He is
quick to point out that, “He was once a Muslim, but
that he also
attended Catholic
school.”
Obama’s political
handlers are attempting to make it appear that
that he is not a
radical.
Obama’s introduction to Islam came via his father, and
that this
influence was temporary at best. In reality, the
senior Obama returned
to Kenya soon after the divorce, and
never again had any direct
influence over his
son’s education.
Lolo Soetoro, the second husband of Obama’s mother,
Ann Dunham,
introduced his stepson to Islam. Obama was enrolled in
a Wahabi school
in
Jakarta.
Wahabism is the RADICAL ISLAMIC teaching that is
followed by the Muslim
terrorists who are now waging Jihad against the
western world. Since
it is politically expedient to be a CHRISTIAN when
seeking major
public office in the United States,
Barack Hussein Obama has joined
the United Church of Christ in an attempt to downplay
his Muslim
background. ALSO, keep in mind that when
he was sworn into office he
DID NOT use the
Holy Bible, but instead the Koran.
Barack Hussein
Obama will NOT recite the Pledge of Allegience nor
will he show any
reverence for our flag. While others place their hands
over their hearts,
Obama turns his back to the flag and slouches.
Let us all remain alert concerning Obama’s expected
presidential
candidacy.
The Muslims have said they plan on destroying the
US from the inside
out, what better way to start than at the highest
level – through the
President of the
United States, one of their own!!!!
Please forward to everyone you know. Would you want
this man leading
our country?……
NOT ME!!!

This is another example of Clinton’s new campaign strategy: Using Bush tactics, which Americans are sick of and clearly shows Clinton’s desperation to win the election. This does not look favorably in my opinion and her bush-like actions are not appealing.This is why Americans do NOT want anymore bush or clinton dynasties–they are ruining America.

SOUTH Austin – you youngsters voting for Obama don’t even know what the past is. all you know is American Idol.

Who is HILLARY CLINTON? As a Walmart corporate attorney and advisor, she sided with Walmart on heathcare issues that were and still the worst in this country. Only now that she is courting the latino vote that her message has changed. On Natinal Security interest…she stood by her huaband when they negotiated on behalf of the UAE for them to take over our seaports for a hefty 35 million dollars. On the Economy…how can you trust someone that cannot even balance her campaign finance. It is time for the her to go .

Change is the word of the day these days.
But change what? Change why? Change how? Change for the sake of change is meaningless and even destructive. The communists made change for change sake a political philosophy and see where that got them. Change on its own is an empty word and that’s just why politicians use it: They want you to fill this empty vessel of a word with whatever you have in mind.
I’d rather vote for a candidate who explains the issues and where they stand on them than vote for change.

Ah, I guess the Clintonistas are doing more party-cleaving. This time focusing on white women. They probably think they are the only demographic that “matter” this week.
Do they really think we’re that stupid? Or maybe they just are.
She’s nothing more than a classless thug.

Don’t like Hillary, OK, now you vote a real monster who not be proud of be american in her life until now.
a person full of evil greed! M. Obama

Jason: It make a lot of difference to me. I am a lot older than you, have voted for several presidents and it has nothing to do with race. I was born and raised in this country and only voted democrat. If Hillary wasn’t running for office I still would not vote for Obama. I would vote for a black candidate only if they were not part of another country. I voted for Jesse White secretary of state in Illinois. I like Jesse White and would vote for him again. Jesse White was born and raised in this country and he is not part of another country. For your information did you read up on the church that Obama attends? Why don’t you do that sometime. Obama was raised in Kenya as a Muslim before he came back here even though he won’t admit he is Muslim. And if he’s christian like he states he is he wouldn’t be going to a church that does not cater to whites.

I love all the posts about how the party will be destroyed and the country will be doomed if Obama is elected. Do we forget who is President now? You really think Obama is going to do worse? All of you that say you will vote for McCain if Obama is the nominee, you are voting for 4 more years of war. Most of America is sick of this war and Obama will beat McCain in a landslide.

To beat McCain , Obama has to have a history, and it must be good. Every thing will come out. Obama is a man without history, only corruption. McCain will send macaca back to Kenya, to eat bananas.

after reading these comments, i am more convinced that Obama will not win the nomination b/c of racism in this country. as a white person, i understand the advantages i have due to my family’s wealth and eduction. i am still amazed that for whites that are middle class and poor, we still stick to our whiteness at the demise of the country. the repub party does absolutely nothing for middle class and poor families and if you are white families in these category – why do you continuously vote for them. i am a mccain supporter b/c he will fall in line and reinforce the status quo and the military industrial complex. obama is not going to win the nomination b/c the clintons will bank on their whiteness and most of the superdelegates are white men. she has divided the dem party on gender, class, and race. it is really pathetic to see this and that most people do not want to admit it.

MARCUS — OBAMA PEOPLE CRITICIZE HILLARY ALL THE TIME. BUT WHEN SHE CRITICIZES HIM, SHE IS A “MONSTER.” IF OBAMA WERE CALLED A MONSTER, THE SPEAKER WOULD BE A RACIST. BUT IT’S OK COMING FROM HIS SUPPORTERS. WHAT HYPOCRITES.

Change is the word of the day these days.
But change what? Change why? Change how? Change for the sake of change is meaningless and even destructive. The communists made change for change’s sake a political philosphy and see where that got them. Change on its own is an empty word and that’s just why politicians use it: They want you to fill this empty vessel of a word with whatever you have in mind.
I’d rather vote for a candidate who explains the issues and where they stand on them than vote for change.

OH PLEASE GREENLEAF GOOD 2 SHOES. I AM A BLACK MAN, AND I ENCOUNTER RACISM DIRECTLY. THE “BOYS” IN THE PARTY WANT OBAMA. PLAIN AND SIMPLE. THEY ARE SEXIST. AND it is not racist to criticize him. I am clearly not supporting Clinton out of racism. Duh.
Anyway, Obama is dividing the party too. Clinton wins among Latinos, Women, older and poor voters (blacks excluded). Why is Obama not dividing the party when his support is white, black, male, and young? Only Clinton is a divider. What crap!

bonnie: I am 100% white. He is l/2 white American and l/2 Kenyan even though he was born in Hawaii. His father came from Kenya but went to college here then went back to Kenya. His mother divorced his father and married a man from Hawaii and he has a l/2 sister living in Hawaii. His mother is now deceased. Get a grip. Read his history. When I say 100% I mean black people that are only black, born and raised in this country and not mixed with Kenya. Kenya is not my country, America is my country and that’s the way I vote.

It seems evident based on many of these comments that Obama’ victories have become problematic to Hillary supporters. Now, they must attack Obama outside of the campaign so that Hillary can remain blameless. (Not going to work) If this is the kind of candidate Hillary is, and she manages to steel the nomination through subversive mean, then I say it is better that McCain wins the Presidency. These type of tactics is the reason why so many Dems have moved away from her campaign. This is what Barack has been saying all of this time. Hillary’s campaign has become like scrambling roaches when the lights have been turned on.

Tony, its not that we’re afraid of critiquing. In fact, I think most of us believe that our right to voice our opinion is what makes this country great. What we have a problem with is when those critiques intentionally distort the truth and consequently cause voters to make a less informed decision.

REALITY CHECK: Obama won’t admit he’s Muslim for the same reason I won’t admit I’m black – because neither statement is true. He wasn’t raised in Kenya. Where do these moronic statements come from? I guess the same mentality that elected Bush the Uniter twice?
Hillary would run the gov the same way she has run her campaign – losing money, losing ground, and nastily. Another great Uniter like Bush.
Polls show Hillary losing to McCain, and Obama beating McCain.
As for experience – try the facts, they are ever so useful.
All the lies about Obama have been proven to be the lies they are. All the liars show themselves for what they are… ignorant or merely liars.
Thankfully the US has awakened from the nightmare of our current administration and is supporting an intelligent candidate that CAN and HAS made a difference already. That candidate is Barack Obama – who continues to show us the best politics has to offers.
The dogs bark but the caravan moves on.
It’s SO REFRESHING to have someone who can speak eloquently and still be a positive force for change.
The days of the fear mongers and liars are coming to a close.
And I can hardly wait to see how the media changes to catch up with the public demand for a more honest America.

J: You are so right in everything you said. Obama belongs to a church on the Southside of Chicago that does not cater to whites. If people really belive he likes the whites they better get real, he is using them for the votes and they are suckered up by his fake and fraud speeches written by Patrick. Changes? What changes. His word change means changing a white president to a black president and having Patrick as his VP. Can you imagine them in the white house for many years. First Obama then later Patrick. Obama wanted to compare himself to JFK and MLK so if that’s the case then let him take the fall.

does anyone have a link to the web address so that i can donate?

JOSE – MICHELLE IS PROUD BECAUSE SHE MIGHT GET IN THE WHITE HOUSE. I CALL THAT GREEDY NARCISSISM.

BytheSea: Ready your history on Obama, he was still in Kenya at the age of 10. Get a grip. Before he came back to the United States he lived in Indonesia then Kenya then back here. Where did you get the idea he was raised here all his life.

L. POST. GET A LIFE. OPPOSING OBAMA IS NOT RACIST. I AM A BLACK MAN AND I OPPOSE HIM TOO. I AM TIRED OF PHONEY LIBERALS. YOU GUYS ARE PATHETIC.

Experience, experience, experience… Why are some people so hung up on Hillary’s “tons of experience”? It seems to me that every President “We The People” have elected to date, has had lots and lots of experience. It’s pretty clear that experience does little to bring change or creative problem solving to the Presidency, in fact, some pretty “experienced” people have really screwed this country up.
Hillary’s “over 30 years of experience” does not impress me – the way her campaign has turned sour in her desperation does. Obama has plenty of experience to breath things like creativity, imagination, and unity into this nation. Things like that just exist inside of a person. Hillary is a polarizing force, and she was before Obama came along. Democrats would not have had a chance of winning back the White House against the Republicans with her as their candidate. With Obama we have a chance.
If you are one of (the few by comparison) people who insist that you won’t vote for Obama if he wins the nomination, then your vote is done is spite, and you really could care less about things like ending the war in Iraq and making change. Just quit your crying, shut up, and go sit down… We’ll carry on this democracy without you.

SusieT-
Have you not seen the polls that show Obama beating McCain in November, and Hillary losing to him?
I think both Obama and Clinton would be good presidents. However, Clinton’s “experience” ploy works both ways–her history is fairly negative, and she is a divisive figure in this country, in part through no fault of her own.
This race will be won in the middle, and moderate voters aren’t going to vote for her in the general election–McCain will get those votes. Obama’s broader appeal, however, will thwart McCain’s success in the political center.
If we Democrats want the White House for the next 4-8 years, we need to get behind Obama.

ALL THOSE WHO SAY THAT IN THE PAST THEY’VE ALWAYS VOTED REPUBLICAN AND NOW THEY WILL VOTE FOR OBAMA ARE LIARS!!!!! THESE ARE THE REPUBLICANS WHO’VE BEEN SCREWING THE PRIMARY ELECTIONS… KNOWING THAT MCCAIN’S NOMINATION IS ALREADY SEWN UP, THEY VOTE FOR OBAMA IN ORDER TO VOTE OUT HILLARY, THE STRONGER CANDIDATE. THEY WILL NOT VOTE FOR HIM, HOWEVER, IN NOVEMBER, AND THAT WOULD BE THE RUDE AWAKENING FOR THE OBAMANITES.

More desperate ploys, more nasty attacks, how will she recover and hold herself worthy after all this. How can we present her to the world as our leader? Is this how we want to be represented? I think not! Time to go home Hillary. We have seen enough.

Why are they considered dirty tactics, because they’re pointing out specific differences? In what way shape or form, is that negative? It is what it is.

Thank 527, hope that it can bring people out of the dangerous dream. Keep fighting Hillary. Don’t let the evil force win the world. Don’t give Obama the chance to screw up this country for another 4 years.

Mariann Pepitone – if you researched the church, you would know that it is part of a white denomination-the united church of Christ. i investigated the church b/c i just do not take what the media states and repub blogs. think about where do black people learn about their history. i do not have a problem with a black church or any church that tries to solve problems in the black community. i checked the census track data around this church and it is in a poor area. they have a lot of programs that help people. if these churches are doing the work that my tax dollars do not have to pay for, i am fine with it. again, racism will always prevail b/c we as white people are not going to share or give up our control. that is a fact. go mccain!!

The Clintons can’t win on the merits so they change the rules, reinterpret the rules, whatever. They can’t con Democratic voters to see past the slime in which they’ve enveloped themselves, so they try to slime someone else. They run an incompetent campaign run by Republican sympathizers and blame their opponent. They get wiped out in state after state across the country in blue states, red states and everywhere in between, then say that those victories don’t matter. They are competing for the Democratic Party nomination. It is not the Clinton Party. The Clintons have never been as popular as they think. Bill never won a majority of the popular vote and destroyed congressional and state Democrats throughout the country while he was President. The egomaniacal Clintons need to move on.

“Great news. Its about time some people see through all this inspirational and hope crap. This has been the biggest joke if I ever saw one.”

What Are Some Characteristics of a Cult and Obama supporters.
Uses thought reform techniques
Uses deception in recruiting and/or fund raising
Promotes dependence of the members on the group
Uses mind altering techniques (chanting, various forms of repetitive actions) to stop normal critical thinking
Appear exclusive and innovative
Charismatic or messianic leader who is self-appointed and has a special mission in life
Controls the flow of information
Instills a fear of leaving the group.

ALL THOSE WHO SAY THAT IN THE PAST THEY’VE ALWAYS VOTED REPUBLICAN AND NOW THEY WILL VOTE FOR OBAMA ARE LIARS!!!!! THESE ARE THE REPUBLICANS WHO’VE BEEN SCREWING THE PRIMARY ELECTIONS… KNOWING THAT MCCAIN’S NOMINATION IS ALREADY SEWN UP, THEY VOTE FOR OBAMA IN ORDER TO VOTE OUT HILLARY, THE STRONGER CANDIDATE. THEY WILL NOT VOTE FOR HIM, HOWEVER, IN NOVEMBER, AND THAT WOULD BE THE RUDE AWAKENING FOR THE OBAMANITES.

Tony- I did not say that Obama is the only source of hope and change in the country. However, I do feel that he does a better job of representing it than the other candidates. It would be refreshing if the other sides took the same tact though. But the truth is, people are criticizing hope and change. The fact that Clinton is attacking his speach giving style more than his actual policies is clear evidence of this fact. If you would read other comments posted you will see other people referring to his hope and change as “crap”. Sounds like criticism to me. So again I ask, what is the alternative to “hope” and “change”?

Was for Hillary since Bill started to run for Prez in Arkansas in 1989.
Changed over after Bill played Karl Rove in SC. and they began swift boating Obama
So I voted for Mr. Obama.
Don’t believe the CR_P that only Blacks and the rich vote for Obama,
I’m a serious horse rancher in New Mexico, not a yuppie or Black guy in the city.
WE need a REAL change and Obama is the only one.
McCain is another Bush… and frankly so is Hillary, she’s clearly proved it the past few weeks. Dirty, Dirty, politics.
How can Hillary supporters pretend that she can’t control what her husband says?
If she can’t even control her own husband, how can she control the world’s problems?

No DMK-
There are actual Republicans who are tired of the hyper-partisanship that came with both the Clinton and Bush administrations and think Obama would be able to get past that.
I’m a Democrat who thinks that McCain could get past that as well. I’d be quite content with a McCain-Obama race and either in the White House.

Pat – isn’t that a description for GW2 – the worst president ever!!

Here’s a little “527″ that I remember…
1. Bill sold military secrets to the Chinese government for campaign contributions
2. Did not strongly respond to any acts of terrorism (unless you call lobbing a bomb at a baby milk factory the night before the impeachment vote a response)
3. Bold faced lied to ALL OF US
4. Degraded and sexually (but not within “HIS” terms of having sex) abused women.
5. Fired travel office employees and then proceeded to sick the justice department on them with trumped up charges. Once in court the jury found them not-guilty within minutes of deliberating.
6. Collected over 900 (not 300) FBI files of political opponents (I remember when someone went to jail for one file)
7. Hillary had the billing records in the residence (with her finger prints all over them) even though they were requested months before by the Justice Department
8. All the murders (oh, I mean suicides) associated with the Clintons. Obama if you are the presidential nomination, please do not choose Hillary as VP if you want to live. You could be the result of a suicide in Fort Marcy Park.
9. Turned a $1,000 investment into $100,000 by reading the Wall Street Journal. (Seasoned trades people do not do this, how can a inexperienced person do this?, just wish I could this with my measly amount 401K)
10. Waco – innocent women and children died because of the Clintons and Janet Reno. They were burned to death.
11. Chinese money laundering – we also see that with Clinton 2 now. How can a dishwasher making $30,000 a year donate thousands of dollars?
12. The stealing of White House belongings. Yea she gave them back – only because she was caught.
13. Taking the most hallowed room in the White House, the Lincoln bedroom and “renting” it out.
I can go on and on.
This woman is so corrupt. We should all be sick and tired of the Clintons During Clinton 1 if people would just take the time to remember:
Do we really want this again? NOT ME!
Seeing people fall over themselves to try and get this clan back in the White House makes me think of a part of the Declaration of Independence that is so fitting to this time in our nations history.
“But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security.”
For my part I think Clinton and McCain both are “such Government” and it’s time for the New Guard to move in.
Obama ’08

I believe in Clinton. I spare my few dollars from the tight budget to donate for her. It’s an investment for my future. I need her help. I need the universal healthcare.
I know she won’t give up because she really want to help us. I don’t like that the media doesn’t give a fair fight to these candidate. they are always pro-Obama.

Obama’s supportersgot loads of excuses for everything this man says or does.
There is always a legitimate excuse.
All of Clinton’s excuses are lies.
Any distortion on Obama – bring up 1992
Any lie he is caught in – bring up tax returns for Hillary
Any invention he creates that is not true – call out the racism card
Nothing anyone says or does – no proof – no statements – no docs – no recordings – nothing, nothing is ever going to be enough to make these people reexamine their trust in someone they didn’t even know drew breath 18 months ago.
Where are your Critical thinking skills?The purpose of critical thinking is to get us involved in a dialogue with the ideas we hear so that we can analize and evaluate them, why don’t you listen?

I hope they call me to try to sway my vote, and I will tell them “It’s too late, I already voted for Obama, the best choice this country has” I am a white woman and I am for Obama!!!

JUSTME — I am not proposing an alternative to “hope” and “change.” I am saying that these concepts on their own are empty. Unless you are George Bush, there will be change. The question that we are asking is “what” change? Ross Perot would be a change. Dennis Kucinich would be change. Al Sharpton would be change. Even Bill Clinton would be a change — in fact, it would require a change in the constitution for him to get elected. What is frustrating is that people take “change” and “hope” as ends unto themselves, which demonstrates a troubling level of political immaturity. I am just as frustrated with Republican politics as all loyal Democrats. But I want a candidate who has concrete policies for change — not amorphous slogans.

Excuse me Paul, but Michelle is not child. She has had other moments than Bush or Clinton. Besides, there were some great moments in the Clinton presidency as well. It is an overstatement to characterize all of the past as uniformly awful. I think this country’s political structure is pathetic, but her saying she is only now proud is a political blunder. Of course, because her last name is Obama, she is beyond criticism. Had Clinton said that, she would have been burned at the stake.

During the first eight years of Senator Obama’s elected service he sponsored over 820 bills. He introduced:233 regarding healthcare reform,125 on poverty and public assistance,112 crime fighting bills,97 economic bills,60 human rights and anti-discrimination bills,21 ethics reform bills,15 gun control,6 veterans affairs and many others.His first year in the U.S. Senate, he authored 152 bills and co-sponsored another 427. These included:- the Coburn-Obama Government Transparency Act of 2006 (became law),- The Lugar-Obama Nuclear Non-proliferation and Conventional Weapons Threat Reduction Act, (became law),- The Comprehensive Immigration Reform Act, passed the Senate,- The 2007 Government Ethics Bill, (became law),- The Protection Against Excessive Executive Compensation Bill, (In committee) Senator Clinton — Senator Clinton’s, who has served only one full term (6yrs.), and another year campaigning, has managed to author and pass into law, (20) twenty pieces of legislation.

The ALP resume reads like a list of lost campaigns and unimportant backseat positions. LOL good luck ALP.

Both Hillary and McCain make the claim that Obama does not have foreign relations experience. I looked up his committee memberships in the Senate:
• Committee on Foreign Relations
• Subcommittee on African Affairs
• Subcommittee on International Economic Policy
• Subcommittee on Asians and Pacific Affairs
• Committee on Veterans’ Affairs
• Committee on Health, Education, Labor & Pensions
• Committee on Homeland Security & Governmental Affairs

One of the many things that has turned me off on Obama is the hatred that motivates so many of his followers. Facts and reason don’t seem to have any effect on them. For my whole life I have voted for Democratic party candidates, but not any more. If Obama is the nominee, I’ll walk.

Hey NadaSpin3,
The subcommittee Obama is head of (Foreign Relations Committee on European Affairs), has NOT been called to meet A SINGLE time in the 2 years he has been its lead.
Maybe you should do your research a little better.

Reading all these comments by all OBAMA haters really makes me sick! I am going to say what I said earlier on this blog; Bush father, Bush son, Clinton Husband and wife will make up a total of 28 years in power!(WHEN I TURN 28, THERE WILL BE A CLINTON OR A BUSH IN POWER) I guess Americans seem to be very confortable with it. Having two families monopolize power for so long is not funny at all. America is not a DEMOCRACY!

Let’s watch and see how this plays in Ohio. Have we gotten wise to the whole “swift boat” strategy. Let us hope so. The whole idea of 529s corrupts our political process. Just look at what happened in Tom Daschle in SD. He was outspent at a rate of better than 9 to 1. Most of it money spent by “independent” groups from outside the state. Basically buying the votes to give John Thune the seat.

I have to admit when I first learned that Hilary was going to run I was excited. But the longer this goes on the more respect for her i lose. All she’s going to manage to do is to degrade the democratic party. Shes already proved shell do anything to win, and if that doesnt work, she’ll cry. No man would have gotten away with that and neither should she. If she gets the nomination i will have to do something i truly hate, vote for McCain.

Do we want a cry baby in charge? Just imagine if Hillary wins the nomination what the republican adds will be like. Here’s one I would like to see, just picture this:
“How can she satisfy you when she can’t even satisfy her husband” Showing –>
Hillary in the forground pointing her finger and Monica in the background smiling at Bill.
Now that would be a clasic, don’t you think?
;)

When Democrat wins, most of things also change. Eventually US will pull out of Iraq no matter who will win. Obama inflate the word “change”. It makes the impression that there will be a completely new face to Washington. The true is, we are evolving all the times. If we have not changed then we are still in the civil wars and the minority won’t have the chance in the White House. What else Obama can change? And he hasn’t talked about what he will change.
He also said that he can unite people but so far he could not unite Hilllary’s supporters to get behind him. The red states still are red states. How will he do it? Again, he hasn’t talked about it for the whole year in his campaign. It is obvious that he did not have a slightly idea of how to achieve it.
Hope that God will open people eyes. Don’t let the evil force to conquer our lives.

JohnSaulnier,
It’s actually slightly worse than that. Don’t forget that Bush Sr. was Vice President for 8 years before that.
I’m about to turn 43. The first presidential election I voted in was in 1984. Since BEFORE that there has been a Bush or a Clinton (and in 1992 both!) on the ballot and holding office.
Enough!
If Hillary should win, it could be that I would go from being a teenager to joining AARP with a Bush or Clinton in the White House or in the Administration.

Does anyone really think Obama can reunite America, plus make peace with other nations?
You can say Hilary brought the race issue into the election, but Obama is using it to win. By all media perspectives, we will continue to get a slanted view because anything said negative about Obama will become racist. However, anything said negative about Clinton is by no means consider sexist.
Obviously he is similar to JFK with the same speech writer. People remember speeches and are motivated with speeches, but with a country headed into a recession; will the speeches help your economy? Or your houses if you become hospitalized and end up with bills you cannot afford to pay?
No one in Canada is loosing their home due to medical bills.

Jale
Mattis Glodman is a partner at Doak Carrier O’Donnel. Wasn’t it recently reported that Maggie Williams was reaching out to Doak to advise the Clinton Campaign?

Pointing out big crocodile tears and the truth about Bill’s cheating ways, is not sexist. If you can’t take the heat maybe you should get out of the kitchen!
ok now maybe that’s a little sexist.
;)

i don’t see how calling her a crybaby is sexist. i’ve been called a crybaby in the past and i’m not a woman. it’s just another word for a sore loser.
now, if someone had called her a weak, emotional woman (not my opinion, just an example) who is unfit to lead a nation, that’d be sexist.
to me, electing anyone who is not a 60 year old white man with greying hair would be a huge leap forward for this country.
anyone we elect will make mistakes, lie to us, and probably be somewhat corrupt. i don’t know any of the candidates personally, so i’ve just got to take an educated guess. obama seems like a more straight-shooting type than clinton.
the comment made earlier about her need to contact the organization and tell them to stop was right on the money. that seems more sexist – “oh no, hillary’s losing, we better help her out since she’s incapable!”

Chuck: People have always assumed it was Bill Clinton who was the political animal. However, it was Hillary. She wrote a dissertation for her Political Science degree based on brass knuckles Chicago-Style politics in the 1960′s. The point of her thesis was that politicians must create an enemy in order to motivate constituencies. Hillary kept that dissertation sealed from the public until 2001. The Clintons are a pair – one of them distracts you while the other picks your pocket, steals your job, and sells your technology.

This is a very good news. Very Excited news. We need some one to stay up tothe Crazy Media who Blindly support OBAMA.
HILLARY FOR PRESIDENT

Renee asked “Does anyone really think Obama can reunite America, plus make peace with other nations?”
Yes, Renee. So far, over 10,958,568 people have cast their vote in favor of Obama being the Democratic candidate for President. They believe that with their help, Obama can do it.
I think the slogan is “Yes We Can”. Maybe a lot of you out there have heard it?

NadaSpin3,
I am glad at least one American pays attention to what I said. So, according to what you are saying, it will probably reach 40 years (perhaps more) of monopoly of power in hands of two families. It is time for someone else!!! I do not care if that someone is McCain or Obama. Obama is 46, McCain is 71 or 72, it is probably better to pick someone who can lead for 4 full years than to elect someone who could potentially die in office!!!!Thus, Clinton should be out of the game because we do not want 40 years of Clintons and Bushes!

All you hillary supporters..Now “YOUR” candidate has launched a delegate hub website in hopes of stealing the PLEDGED delegates from Obama in order to win the nomination…
and you all still want this corrupt women in the whitehouse..She will do anything to win and it’s scary.

thanks c farnesworth – i will check it out.
for the record, i don’t care if the president is Christian, Muslim, Hindu, Bahai’i…
to rephrase what i said earlier, i think it would be a huge leap forward for the US if we elected someone who wasn’t Christian. The world, and our country, has many different views on religion. not that it should matter in a country where church and state are supposed to be have nothing to do with each other.
strong moral fiber is strong moral fiber, regardless of where it is attained.

People it is not the number of States that a candidate wins …it is the number of people that vote for a candidate …the numbers …I guess most of you take the media to heart and go with the media without facts…the American people are still speaking the votes that seperate the two is small…so get real people are speaking and it is still up in the air..too many of you get caught up in what the media saids and do not think…

To Lori and those who think like her: it always strikes me as ironic that folks will say that politicians are corrupt,,, except for the one I support. When will we as voters come to accept the fundamental reality that people who need to raise over $100,000,000 to buy their way into high office do not, cannot, and will not let their decisions be dictated by a desire to fight for “the people”? Millionaire John Edwards claimed to be for “the people”, but he abandoned that campaign and is now negotiating with the remaining candidates to broker his delegates’ support, no doubt in exchange for a seat at the table of power — not to get anything for “the people”. Senator Obama may be less overtly tainted than those he is running against, but that does not mean he will not sell “the people” out — how many earmarks did he put into the last appropriations bill? While Senator Clinton put $340 million of pork into the bill, Senator Obama put $91 million of pork into the bill. They claim to be for “the people”, then screw the people once in office. Do you recall that Bill Clinton campaigned in 1992 saying that “the centerpiece of my campaign is a middle class tax cut”?, then as soon as he got into office pushed through a retroactive tax increase? Do you recall that George W. Bush campaigned in 2000 saying that he would cut the size of the government, then after he got into office the cost of government doubled? I believe it was the wonderful Scottish comedian and actor Billy Connolly who said something like this: politicians are people who seek to get money from the rich and votes from the poor by promising to protect each from the other. Mark Twain had it right over a century ago: “It could probably be shown by facts and figures that there is no distinctly native American criminal class except Congress”. Wake up and smell the manure — and it’s only getting worse as the elections get costlier.

THE CHINA CONNECTION: WOULD YOU VOTE FOR A CANDIDATE WHO GAVE AWAY MILITARY SECRETS TO CHINA? George Bush Senior refused to grant most favored nation status to China because of their human rights abuses. However, Bill Clinton brushed the Human Rights issues aside. As he did so, he said that the human rights issues were getting in the way of commercial interests. Bill Clinton also gave China entry into the World Trade Org. In return for campaign contributions, Clinton shifted regulation of technology exports from the State Department to the free-wheeling Commerce department. The administration also relaxed export controls and allowed corporations to decide for themselves if their technology transfers were legal or not. If easing restrictions wasn’t enough, Clinton signed waivers that simply circumvented the law. Clinton’s waivers allowed the export of machine tools, defense electronics, a communications system for the Chinese Air Force, and a missle guidance system. In other words, Bill Clinton SOLD US OUT TO COMMUNIST CHINA.

Is there an entity that moniters where the money for this ‘ALP’ will be coming from? And if so, will there be public access to this kind of information? Anybody know?

We already had a guy with no experience in the white house, his name George W. Bush. I don’t think we need another one. If you do not know how washington runs how can you make change? So he was opposed to the war from the start. So was Dennis Kucinich, but Dennis was man enough to stand by his conviction and always voted no on funding the war. What does that say about Obama, who has always voted yes to funding the war. REAL CHANGE COMES FROM THE PEOPLE, REVOLOUTIONS, NOT FROM POLITICIANS. WAKE UP AMERICA, ATLEAST IF YOUR GOING TO VOTE FOR THE PERSON WHO KNOWS HOW TO WORK THE SYSTEM.

I also think the Votes for Obama are fales…when Reps vote for a very Liberal person that is a red flag…Too bad we do not have close Primaries in Texas..Republicans want to go against Obama because they believe they can beat him…must have something major in the works…..or affraid to go against Hillary the only way to beat them is a Hillary VP Obama ticket….

Obama is a cult leader. Obama followers are zombies. Democracy is creepy. Speeches don’t put bread on the table…
But mudslinging attacks do?
Hillary needs to go back to NY and be the best Senator she can be. And do it fast, before she permanently damages her (and her husband’s) great reputation with these sad acts of desperation.

This whole race could be over in a week, if we all just keep repeating a few simple words:
“Shame on you, Hillary Clinton!”

The supreme court and your individual rights hang in the balance. Do you really want the corporate masters to have all the power??? This is the most important issue bar none! Some of those judges are gettin’ up there and the next president will have to fill those spots. McCain may appeal to you on may levels but when it comes to judicial appointments he is far far to the right!

Let the swiftboating begin! It’s actually pretty funny that there are still people out there who say Obama has no substance. All one has to do is visit his website and you will see all the policy detail you could want. I guess the old adage that if you tell the same lie over and over again and tell it convincingly enough, people will believe you. I think that those people that think Obama has no substance have only seen his stump speeches when he is rallying his supporters. Think about it, if you come to a campaign event, do you really want to listen to someone talk about 50 point plans? No, you want someone to inspire you to keep working!

The Clintons are destroying the unity of the Democratic Party and trust me, based on their recent staff shake-ups, they’re about to make it even nastier. But they’ll send others to do their dirty work.
At this rate, people are going to get tired of the Democrats and start seeing McCain as the candidate of change.

Vote for Experience, Vote for Actions
Practically thinking AMERICA doesn’t require a TRAINEE PRESIDENT in this current situation of USA.
If your company is in losses you recruit an EXPERIENCED, TOUGH, HIGHCALIBRE person not a TRAINEE.
Even when you get any problem you will consult an experienced person in that field.
When it comes to POLITICS it really needs an EXPERIENCED person NOW…thats UNIVERSAL LAW
VOTE FOR EXPERIENCE,VOTE FOR ACTION
GOD BLESS YOU MRS.CLINTON…..

527 will backfire on Clinton. So you max out your donations form lobbyist. Now you have them form their own “independent” group to help you win the nomination?. WoW, can you get any more desperate? The media is going to tear her apart on this. So sad for Clinton, her true colors are finally appearing.

People commenting should realize that Barack Obama only served 1 year in the Senate before deciding to run for President of the United States. And he has spent most of his time running for this presidential election? How much Washington experience does he really have? Do people really think he is going to be able to accomplish anything in the White House with his lack of experience? Can you imagine anyone applying for a top notch position in a company and having experience count for nothing. “Oh yes, Mr. Obama, your resume states that you really like change and hope. But you have very little experience. When can you start?” Also, I believe the only reason he has gotten this much support in this campaign is because of the completely biased media coverage. They have forced him down the throats of Americans who had no idea who he was a few months ago. Not that he isn’t intelligent or well spoken but he isn’t ready to lead. I believe we have a media created sensation. The corporate media have made him into a celebrity. And I hope it is not being done purposely in order to secure a win for John McCain. A lot of his supporters have no idea what he even has accomoplished. A senator on the Chris Matthews show, who was endorsing Obama, was asked to name one thing he’s done in the Senate and he couldn’t come up with one thing. It was completely embarassing. We need a president not a celebrity. We need solutions not speeches. We need actions not words. And to a previous poster, I agree with you about his affiliation with the Trinity United Church of Christ. It seems to me to be a Black Empowerment Church, with it’s Black Value System. Christian churches usually like to empower everyone not just one particular race.

Patricia Mae Andrzejewski singing “Hit Me with Your Best Shot,” is the anthem that will get us through to March 5th.

WHAT 35 YEARS OF EXPERIENCE?
The Facts:
Senator Barack Obama 1996-2004 (Illinois State Senator)
2005-2008 (United States Senator)
12 Years of Elected Office Experience
Senator Hillary Clinton 2001-2008 (United States Senator)
7 Years of Elected Office Experience
Here are the remaining 28 years of Clinton’s experience:
8 Years (Lawyer)
12 Years (First Lady of Arkansas)
8 Years (First Lady of the U.S.)
Since when is 20 years of being a first lady relevant experience for being president?
Senator Barack Obama, Not Only By Virtue Of His Character, Honesty, And Competence, But Also By Virtue Of His Experience, Is Clearly More Qualified To Be President Of The United States.
FIRED UP – READY TO GO!!!!!

It’s understandable that some independents wouldn’t vote for Barack if he gets nominated, so definitely like McCain.
But for someone to come out and say that they are an independent and would support the Clintons is hard to understand. Most supportors of McCain and Obama, I thought, are supporting the idea of change, something different.
To have another Clinton in the White House doesn’t sound like change to me. Think about it, 4yrs Bush, 8yrs Clintons, 8yrs Bush….do we really want another 4yrs of the Clintons?
That would equate to almost a quarter of a century with just two different families.
Let’s move forward, and show the world that we are actually progressing.

it seems like electing experience can be good and bad.
sure, experience knows the system, knows how to get things done, is comfortable in the position.
but it also means they know how to get away with things they don’t want us to know, are already molded by the status quo, and might not have much to offer in terms of innovation.
as has been said earlier, going bush-clinton-clinton-bush-bush-clinton is just going to be more of the same ol’.
a young, relatively inexperienced candidate offers a fresh perspective. it’s not as if he’d be doing everything by himself. he might have an advisor or two working for him.

Not only did Roger Salazar of the ALP work for Gray Davis but it looks like he also did previous work for Bill Clinton, Al Gore and John Edwards.

He’s anointed the messiah,
but she’s the one nailed to the cross.
just do a little research on all the vicious and hateful things that have been said about her. (media matters is a good place to start.) They say, yes a woman someday, just not this woman. They say yes, she is very smart and yes, she has proven to work very hard and yes, she can think on her feet and yes, she excels in the debates. And yes, she is a good mother.
But not this woman? What woman? The one who is younger? Prettier? Less tested? Less known?
Just give me some truth – not a pocketful of hope – john lennon

Change-different from what it is or from what it would be if left alone. So different right? I’m assuming that means unlike how the country has been controlled over the past few decades. Whether we are Blue or Red I bet if you search within yourself you can find instances where our leaders behaved more like naughty, spoiled children then the decision makers we elected them ( and paid them) to be. Someone to come fill our country and our heart’s with hope and to understand the plight of the common person- you know the one’s struggling to make ends meet , wanting to send their kids to a good school but at points having to choose between putting money in a college fund or filling up the heating oil again- Going to work everyday and doing the best they can but still never getting ahead only to find out that yes they lost another billion dollars but it’s okay because we will keep making more so they will keep taking more. Americans should be outraged. Americans should DEMAND change, not just accept a carbon copy version of the same corrupted policy views and the same selfish ways that has helped this country dwindle until our hope has nearly diminished. Is Barack experienced? Not in the traditional way, but look where our traditional leaders have taken us so far. It is a breath of fresh air to have the opportunity to elect a leader that has not been bought, that has fresh ideas and that still believes in the American dream for every person regardless of whether they were born wealthy or poor. If you question what he is about educate yourself- read one of his books or listen to a full speech do not consider yourself enlightened because you have watched an hour of news or read the local paper. Then go vote and if you choose not to vote for him then that is your right- that is the American way and that fellow Americans is what Barack Obama stands for. As for me I will be voting for my American dream and helping in any way that I can to leave a strong , healthy country and legacy for my children so I won’t have to explain to them how I let myself be fooled into complacency. I will proudly tell them that I wanted CHANGE.

Jack your article is interesting. Does Bill and his boys still think they control America! Obama is an honest-to-goodness ground swell. Does anyone still think money can divert the will of the people? But, they will try.

Folks I am from the Uk and have been following the US elections very closely.
Firstly I think the democrats have made history with Hilary and Obama!
However if i could vote it would definitely be Obama.
Poeple leave comments about how Hilary has more experience(In what exactly!!) over Barack Obama and that all Obama does is give good speeches. Please check out his site before you make these silly statements. At least that way you can come to the table with some arguments that have substance.
The other thing I like about Obama is his reasoning or approach towards international issues/relations. As you are aware Bush has damaged every bit of respect the world has for America.
Obama’s approach and quite rightly so is’we need to look at the mindset that got us into this in the first place’
Instead of dialogue, McCain says bomb bomb bomb!! and thats who you want as president?!!
Hilary clinton can’t even manage a campaign and says she is the best candidate for the nominee!!
Please Americans be open minded and heed the call for change
Its the past versus the future!!
In the UK when Tony Blair(British Prime Minister 97-07)launched his to be prime minster the existing establishment thought he was too young and not experienced enough. The voters proved the wrong and he brought changes and reforms no other prime minster has done(apart from the war in Iraq).
Fresh Ideas are always good. Its time to break away from the Bush/Clinton dynasty

Hillary needs to quit, if the tables were turned everyone would be asking Obama to get out. The national press corps would have long abandoned Obama. Hillary thinks she’s special. She is not. She is losing, She cannot catch up and most people expect her to try cheap dirty tricks. This is exactly why we don’t need the Clinton’s 8 more years. (Then Jeb for 8 more). Americans are waking up to her Bilderburg tactics. (Wikipedia-The group’s secrecy and its connections to power elites has provided fodder for many who believe that the group is part of a conspiracy to create a New World Order.)
Remember, Bill and Bush 41 always running around globetrotting. Bush 41 always proclaiming 1000 points of light and new world order. Bill raming NAFTA down our thorats. If we elect Hillary we will not stay free!

What experience does this woman really have? She was a first lady. Does that mean all spouse’s are capable of doing the other’s job.You supporters of of Hillary are mindless.

I noticed that Obama raised 34 million dollars in January…….that going to be hard to beat even with a 527

Win or lose, do so with some dignity. It seems all Clinton supporters have left are dirty words. I’ve been reading though comments under various political articles, and I can not get past the name calling and slanderous attitude of the posts from Hillary’s fans towards not only Obama, but towards his supporters as well. It reminds me of the way teams take on the conscience and demeanor of their coach. It leaves quite an impression. Undecided voters, take note.
Threatening to abandon your party’s ideals and strategies because your “side” loses, is as divisive as the candidate herself. Democrats need to remember that at the end of this battle, we are all still on the same side of the war, both literally and figuratively.

Can’t we all just get along?
Reading these posts is just depressing. As Democrats, we should be building each other up, not tearing each other down. Let’s keep our eyes on the prize, people.
I support Barack Obama. But, if Hillary wins the nomination, I will support her. I’m not setting out to trash Hillary just because I support Barack.
What it comes down to is this: the Republicans do not deserve to hold the highest office in the land for the next 4 years.
Stop it already!

It is not over yet! We need Texas and Ohio and PA so all you Obama people.. there is still time to come to your senses and vote on the most qualified candidate. Also did anyone hear about the sex scandal that is circulating about Obama?? I wonder if its true.

2 years in the Senate. Yup, he’s qualified to lead the free world.
1 term in the Senate. Yup, radical Islam will surely kneel before her.
Either way, it’s a “win” for America! :-)

Again, I’m still waiting for the media to actually look at what Hillary’s talking about when she carrying on about problem-solving and doing not talking. If you compare the two candidate’s records, Obama actually has the stronger one. Hillary’s just using the typical Rovian tactic of hitting your opponent’s strengths.
HILLARY VS. OBAMA LEGISLATIVE RECORDS:
During Obama’s first (8) eight years of elected service (in Illinois) he sponsored over 820 bills – 233 regarding healthcare reform, 125 on poverty and public assistance, 112 crime fighting bills, 97 economic bills, 60 human rights and anti-discrimination bills, 21 ethics reform bills, 15 gun control, 6 veterans affairs and many others. IN ADDITION, DURING HIS FIRST YEAR IN THE U.S. SENATE, HE AUTHORED 152 BILLS AND CO-SPONSORED ANOTHER 427. THESE INCLUDED:
*The Coburn-Obama Government Transparency Act of 2006 (became law)
*The Lugar-Obama Nuclear Non-proliferation and Conventional Weapons Threat Reduction Act, (became law)
*The Comprehensive Immigration Reform Act, (passed by the Senate)
*The 2007 Government Ethics Bill, (became law)
*The Protection Against Excessive Executive Compensation Bill, (In committee)
In all, since he entered the US Senate, Obama has written 890 bills and co-sponsored another 1,096. AN IMPRESSIVE RECORD, FOR SOMEONE WHO SUPPOSEDLY “HAS NO RECORD”
HILLARY CLINTON, WHO HAS SERVED FOR 6 YEARS IN THE U.S. SENATE, AND CLAIMS TO KNOW HOW TO “GET THINGS DONE” HAS MANAGED TO AUTHOR AND PASS NTO LAW ONLY TWENTY (20) PIECES OF LEGISLATION, ONLY FIVE (5) OF WHICH HAVE ANY REAL SUBSTANCE:
1. Extend period of unemployment assistance to victims of 9/11.
2. Pay for city projects in response to 9/11
3. Assist landmine victims in other countries.
4. Assist family caregivers in accessing affordable respite care.
5. Designate part of the National Forest System in Puerto Rico as protected in the wilderness preservation system.

Note: These 527s are not controlled by the Clinton campaign, the money does not go to Clinton — that would be illegal.

Another 527 Swiftboat attack?????
More shady chicanery with campaign spending???
The Clinton Sleaze Machine sinks to a new low.
I once liked the Clintons. Not only are they going to lose, but they have lost my respect. What a shame.

With all that experience and years of being in the public eye she still does not know how to unite the masses.She is Wicked and those of you that support her have that inside you as well. Are you capable of saying anything positive out your mouth about anyone else? She is the wicked witch and you are her flying monkeys.You will not convince me otherwise. she has something evil inside of her and the masses know it. That is why they are NOT voting for her.

I can’t believe the Obama campaign is so arrogantly telling Hillary to quit. LOL. What on earth? I hope he gets his butt whooped.

We all have a choice.I ‘ve made mine and you have made yours.Regardless we will see in November.The American public will decide.If we get a witch as president ….Satan is next!

The GOP has recreated history and we fall for it. I remember Gore and Bush debating what to do with all the extra money, fast food joints starting people at $11 an hour and Bill Clinton the highest approval rating in history when he left office. America believes this was a low point and Reagan and his record deficits a high. the Clintons fought hard just so someone like Barack Obama could realistically run for President and they are accused of racism. I am a white male who could never vote for a candidate that would not disavow himself from comments like Jesse Jackson, Jr about having to cast a vote as a superdelegate based on race alone. Democrats are eating their own after being baited by the media.

The main thing that everyone can remember of Bill Clinton is when he almost got empeached for lying on the stand when asked if he had sex with Monica. Proof that the Clintons are a bunch of liars. I say out with the old and in with the new !!
Go Obama go !!

As always the Obama supporters can’t take the heat. Just like your leader you want another FREE RIDE! Sorry guys, this is politics, not play group. If this organizatin is legal/legit than “go for it” I say! Anything to counteract the insanity of obamamania! Check out the other article on this site today which looks at Obama/Rezko – that trainwreck is just starting! We’ve watched Hillary Clinton be scrutinized for 15 years. Now it’s Obama’s turn to starting experiencing what it REALLY feels like to be in the public eye, and to face all the questions that go with that. He’s got no idea what’s up ahead nor do his mindless supporters. OBAMA WIN NOW = REBPUBLIC VICTORY IN NOVEBMER!

American politics,… kinda reminds me of a line from the Enterprise TV show 1st episode,… Captain Archer to S’Val, the Vulcan Ambassador,… “What? When your logic doesn’t work, you raise your voice?”. So many people with such high opinions of their own opinion,… and when the chips are down, they just sink back to the barbarians they really are. What if we just take all the politicians in the US and dump them in an arena with swords, a shield or two, and a bunch of poisonous snakes,… and arrest the one that comes out alive for murder? It would be infinitely more entertaining.

Al Queda calls Obama to congratulate him on his Wisconsin victory
On a close caption of cnn anderson cooper Al Queda calls Obama to congratulate him
It is tooooooooo funny

Mariann Pepitone: He discusses his early life in his book “The Audacity of Hope”. Still you can get what you need to know about him in Wikipedia.

I like McCain over Hillary, but Obama is clearly a superior leader. I have voted Republican every election since 1976 (exepted Bush 1 2nd term — he seemed to ill — not for Clinton tho.) and Dole (too infirm — not for Clinton tho.) The Real Republicans (not the Wackos) should embrace Obama to help dismantle our color centric society. If he wins I would think it would be a reason to scale back affirmative action — because we have proof that the system that he grew up under worked! His formative years were under Nixon/Ford, Carter 1 term and Reagan.

Hillary’s backdoor ways continue. She will try to get the nomination through superdelegates and not popular vote, through seating the MI and FL delegates illegals and just in case those two efforts fail, get more people to attack Obama by proxy.
Hillary is a Republican in a Democratic disguise.

So!…if Hilary and Bill tried to vacate the White House with a ‘whole lotta furniture/artifacts’ the first time…that they had to return. Do you think these ‘cat burglars’ will get away with it this time if she should mistakenly be put in office? By the way is McCain and Hilary still using the old worn out slogans about ‘experience and years of service’ to hoodwink the multitude.After Bush,I think the U.S. is maybe a little more awake to the ‘EXPERIENCED THIEVES’who have serviced themselves to a VERY profitable reward. Maybe ‘inexperience’ may look more attractive in the long run.

deb wrote, “You Democrats who claim you will not vote for Obama if he is the candidate, you Democrats who claim you will not vote for Hillary if she is the candidate: shame on you. The underpinings of the Democratic party remain the same no matter which one of them is leading the party.”
Well-said. I’m an independent who will vote Democratic in this election because I’m sick and tired of Republicans with their reverse-Midas touch–everything they’ve touched they turned to dust, including the economy, foreign policy and the environment. I don’t mind either of the Democratic candidates but I am not a fan of Hillary’s dirty politics. If she is the party nominee, I will vote for her but not without holding my nose as I do it. The only reason I’d vote is that she is better than the hundred-year-war, pro-torture hypocrite John McCain.

Nice to see Barack’s rational supporters are home from their dream jobs *sarcasm* ( it is the way they like to describe us as rich and carefree). I am neither and I believe in this man and voted proudly for him last night to help begin the process of turning this country into a UNITED place to call home. I want my children to know this generation cared enough to at least try to put the pieces back together..no matter how late we realized how much damage we have caused.
As for the rest of you fight amongst yourselves I think you will find that not many opinions will change unless people get off this blog and start educating themselves.
Proud Wisconsin woman,<$50,000, white, and uneducated did you miss my vote Hillary? With Barack maybe my kids will never be described that way in an exit poll.

You Obama supporters don’t understand. He’ll have to go through this if he’s running for president. If a little NEGATIVE finger pointing is too HARD on him, he shouldn’t be the president! Hillary is staying out of the fray just like a professional. That’s why she voted for 571′s, to allow for back and forth opinions.

Let me understand this… you say that any presidential candidate HAS to be slandered? Why would we ever expect to hear and read all of these negative campaigning tactics? Why should that be acceptable or in some cases preferred? Would we allow our children to behave in this manner if they were running for their school’s president or would those children be restricted from running? We should expect MORE from our leaders than small children not less. Morals and standards should not be interchangeable to suit one’s whims or personal agenda- they should be like bedrock in a person’s soul. Do as I say not as I do is NOT the way a person should lead their lives.

I am just curious. Does anyone out there who is supporting Barack Obama think that Hillary Clinton has received media bias, especially on cable news station such as CNN, MSNBC, and FOX?

It scary that to associate freely and exercise your right to free speech, American Leadership Project has to set up this-or-that. We can thank McCain for that. But Hillary want to nuke radio…so I guess it’s a wash this year. Free speech. What a concept.

Cindy,
I think the news media has a vested interest in promoting whichever candidate is behind. When Obama was chasing Clinton, he could do not wrong and there were very few negative articles / news stories. Now that he appears to be ahead, negative stories are coming out at breakneck speed. Why? Well, I was listening to CNN earlier and one of their commentators summed it up: he hopes the battle goes all the way to the convention because it is so much more fun this way. Consider this site: one of the columnists indicated that Obama was ‘rude’ in not waiting until Clinton had finished her speech last night–but he never bothered to check into the fact that Clinton started VERY late and Obama started on time. Should Obama been slammed for that? And he also said that Obama came out cocky when all he did was come out and give a five minute, gracioius thank you to Wisconsin; at the same time, the commentator never mentioned that Clinton failed, once more, to thank all the people who came out in freezing weather to vote for her. I understand we all bring our perceptions to bear when we check through the news, but it seems to be the level of praise vs. blasts changes depending on who is in front. Just my two cents.

When did the rest of the world like us anyways? We were always hated for one reason or another. This the-rest-of-the-world-hate-us thing is not new.

We didn’t change the name to Stupid House nor I-can’t-pronounce-the-word-nuclear House once Bush was elected. Why change it now?

Michelle got it wrong–there is no reason to be proud of this country when we still have so many people who hate based on color or (presumed) religion or heritage.

Why are Hillary supporters such sore losers? Let’s unite the Democrats behind the man who WILL win the presidency and stop this vitriol.
\

I’ll share something else with those who want something different:
Before Bill Clinton’s missteps in South Carolina, his wife was referred to as Senator Clinton, Hillary, Mrs. Clinton, etc. Since said missteps, all the scuttlebutt around the Clinton candidate is framed as ‘the Clintons.’ I think this is detrimental to Hillary.
\
\
Something else I realized this morning: By starting out as the nice guy, Barack prevented Hillary or Edwards from attacking him without appearing to be mean-spirited. Since she’s fallen behind, now she must attack and it smacks of desperation. I love it!

To Jorge: No one is trying to tear the party down. Its a matter of principle and objective judgement. You cannot compare Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama and and conclude tha the is the better candidate. The majority of people who support him cannot tell you why. You don’t find that disturbing? You just suppose to elect someone because they look different and their last name is not Bush or Clinton? The last name dosen’t matter, the family dosen’t matter. It is who is simply better for the job based on their platforms and believe it or not EXPERIENCE. Yes being First Lady is not an elected position, however you can’t deny that being in the role gave her some inside knowledge and know-how. I’m convinced her advice and opinion was sought. That is experience. Pior to meeting and marrying Bill Clinton she was working to better the lives of others. Ex: Children Defense Fund, women rights, civil rights, and healthcare. SHe is the better candidate.
Hillary ’08′
McCain ’08′

J. McCaskill: IN OBAMA DEFENSE…. CLINTON AS FIRST LADY TRIED TO GET HEALTH CARE PASSED BUT FAILED… IM NOT TRYING TO BE MEAN…. BUT SAME AS SENATE A FEW FAILED BILLS… THEY HAVE BOTH HAVE EXPERIANCE FROM DIFFERENT LEVELS… THE ONE HAVING MORE EXPN. DOESN’T HELP………. LOOK THESE TWO ARE GREAT PEOPLE, McCAIN WANTS TO CONTINUE THE BUSH POLICIES IN PLACE….. IN FACT…. OBAMA AND CLINTON BELIEVE IN ALMOST 90% OF THE TIME…. YOUR GOING TO VOTE McCAIN BECAUSE OF A SMALL DIFFERENCE OF 10% BETWEEN CLINTON AND OBAMA?????

Well, the Clintons found a way to get big money out of their contributors who have maxed out for the primaries. Suddenly this new 527 pops up (MoveOn is no longer on Hillary’s team). Of course we all believe there will be no communication between Hillary’s campaign and this 527 — wink, wink! These people will lie, cheat and steal to get what they want; there is no stopping them. Hopefully a 527 will pop up to help Obama and the Clintons won’t make it through the primary season.

Desperate moments requires desperate acts! the Barbarians are at the gates! This 527 group will protect the Castle’s(read corrupt undisclosed dealing lobbyist/politicians) interest. Long live duplicity!

The Hillary Decalogue – 10 Good Reasons to vote for Hillary (1) She voted for the Iraq War – But if she had known at that time what she knows today, she wouldn’t have voted – Conclusion: she had no clue on what she was voting for, and was outmaneuvered by Cheney and Co. (2) She voted for the Law that made it more difficult for the Americans to declare bankruptcy (in favor of the Credit Card businesses) – Although she voted for, “she was happy that the Law finally did not pass”. Do you understand? Clear as water.(3) She forgave her husband for the Monica affair in exchange for his support to her New York Senate bid – love is always love.(4) She will show us her tax-returns when the primaries are over and “only if she is elected the nominee” – That is called transparency(5) She worked on the Wall Mart Board of directors, trying to avoid the workers to form a union, but she is concerned about the working classes….(6) Not satisfied for having supported the Iraq war, she gave George Bush a semi free-ride to attack Iran. Maybe bombing two nations, you get a discount….(7) She forgot already about the Whitewater scandal (a small youth affair) (8) She knows when to cry (after the defeat in Iowa) to seem more human and attract sympathy- shall she use the same tactics with Musharaff and Kim Il Sung? (9) If the law doesn’t favor her, let’s cancel the law. That’s how she tried to overturn the Nevada court decision allowing the Food and Casino workers to vote on their working place. After all, if they work, why should they want to vote? (10) She convinced her husband, Bill, to pardon Marc Rich for tax evasion on his last day in office ( 20 January 2001)- after all his wife, Denise Rich, had given her 1 million for her New York Senate campaign. – that’s also called gratitude and transparency

To all Obama supporters: Have you ever wondered where more than half of his money is coming from [just about half is coming from small contributions]? Who are the “powers” behind him? George Soros for one.
A bunch of Chicago School economists are his major economic advisers [anyone read Naomi Klein's The Shock Doctrine: Disaster Capitalism about the Chicago boys?]. How about Zbig Bryzynski as one of his foreign policy advisers? He was responsible for Jimmy Carter’s disasterous Iran policy.
Think this through, people. And don’t get me started on David Axelrod!

Digusting news.

I’m a Republican who is voting for Obama because:
(1) Hillary is evil
(2) Hillary is a liar
(3) Hillary is a megalomaniac
(4) Hillary is vicious
(5) Hillary is the past
Obama is the future. Obama will give our country four years of unity, eloquence, and grace. He’s smart enough to overcome his idealism and be a responsible, thoughtful, effective, and tough President.
I can’t stand the thought of 4 years of McCain or 4 (minutes) of Clinton.
Hillary’s “experience” is largely in the Clinton Crime Family’s White House.
To hell with that!
No more Bushes (ever) in the White House
No more Clintons (ever) in the White House
…is what all Americans need to pledge themselves to, at least for the next 48 years!

If anyone wants to know who Obama’s strong supporters are, look at this. One of his strongest supportes EARLY in his campaign was Hugh Heffner’s daughter, Christie Heffner. You know, the PORN KING EMPIRE. So, Let’s watch and see where the country goes if he gets elected.

It’s about time someone jumps off the Obama free ride courtesy of the media. The more I read comments like these from Obama supporters the more I am determined to make sure Obama does not gain office – and I’m a democrat. The man has no substance. He refuses to debate Hillary one on one because he can’t hold a candle to her with policy or performance. And I’m sick of the Hillary war vote. Obama wasn’t in the Senate at the time, and sure he can say he wouldn’t have voted for it, but that’s complete heresay. It’s easy to give a speech against the war when you’re not being held politically accountable. This guy is a fraud. And he will not defeat McCain. There’s still time to WAKE UP DEMOCRATS. Vote for someone who knows how to get things done and has true experience.

I am a conservative and I am going to switch over in Ohio to vote the Lying Clintons out. We will deal with the commie Obama later

The media just doesn’t understand whats going on in this election. It has nothing to do with race or gender. What this thing is about is;
A House divided , a do Nothing Congress, and Negative campaign tactics.
It’s simple really……..The American People are taking there country and White House back.
The Choice is………..Get out of the way , or get run over.

good job of reporting. i’ll be looking for this in the tv media as well.

So my hope is going to be stolen yet again by the 527 of MY OWN FLIPPING PARTY? Is this a Democracy? Not really. It’s a Republic. And a dirty one at that. For all those who dismiss the Senator from IL for whatever reasons think twice about being careful what you wish for. We will all get, no matter the outcome, exactly what we deserve. Karma is a b!tch, eh?

What needs to happen (and will, shortly) is getting Obama in a one-on-one debate, in which he’ll have to answer just “HOW” he plans to implement his vague and lofty goals. Not only do his socialistic domestic objectives total more than $875B in today’s dollars, he’s also a prime supporter of the Global Poverty Initiative, which will tax American workers to the tune of .7% of the GDP, a monetary amount of more than $850B. So, now we’re up past $1.7 Trillion. Oh yes, and he’s promising tax breaks to wage earners at the $75K level and lower. Enacting a massive tax hike by allowing the Bush tax cuts to expire and further increasing taxes on those earning more than $250K won’t nearly be enough. So we’re left with federal budget cuts. But, of course, Barack doesn’t want to discuss those. Let the debates begin! If Hillary can’t hit him on those issues, McCain will.

If Foreign Service meant just being on a senate committee, then a student who serving on a campus organization about HIV/AIDS in South Africa, for example, would also have “foreign service” experience. It means that one has actually had to interact, meet and negotiate with heads of state, their representatives or other foreign national leaders. It is in this sense that Obama has very limited experience, whereas McCain and Clinton have plenty.

How many of these posts are from camp hillary?

If Hillary stopped to listen to Obama long enough to ponder on what he is actually saying, she would realize that doing away with the kind of negative attacks and other such polarising tactics as she makes uise of in her campaign is precisely the kind of change that Obama has been championing and Americans are lapping up in droves.
The more she engages in it, the more she underscores the imperative need for such change. And as we have seen in Wisconsin, the results speak for themselves. Undoubtedly helped along in no small measure by her attacks on Obama, she sank from a 15 point lead to a 17 point defeat in just a matter of days.
Hillary efforts to discredit Obama are as the actions of one who doesn’t understand what goodness is and doesn’t believe in it. So she dissects the body of one who is said to be good in a misguided attempt to prove that he has no goodness in him. All the time, meanwhile, his goodness shines all around her and is reflected in the faces of all who understand.

Excuse me Sandra but Obama has debated with Hillary eighteen times and will do two more debates.The only reason Hill wanted to debate was free exposure due to lack of money management in her campaign.In other words free ads for her.Obama does have substance and experience.All you have to do is look for it.I guess it is easier to buy into the Clinton’s running bull on his lack of experience though.

white house . com with the Larry Sinclair story is going to come out, half a million people know and of course every person usually will tell 8 people… a millionaire Paying $100,000 for Obama ACCUSER to pass. That should help Obama

>>>>George W. Bush went to Washington to change Washington. To usher in a new age of politics, where bipartisanship and reaching out across the aisle would change politics as we know it. Sure he was inexperienced, but that’s okay, advisor’s would help him out and everything would be just great! Obama reminds me so much of Bush it’s scary. School voucher’s, driver’s licenses for illegal immigrants, refusing public financing. Wake up Dems! We are going to lose again!<<<<
Bush had a track record of never giving clemency to death row prisoners, even if their convictions were obviously questionable, and publicly scoffing at a letter from one such convict pleading with him for mercy. His administration practiced torturte and misled the American public to buy into the misguided notion that torture was okay sometimes. He hijacked an election by the aid of his dad's friends and cronies in the Supreme Court and ran his campaign with the aid of special interests to which he was thereafter beholden.
He changed nothing and only made things worse. He did not build his campaign on the promise of change but on getting Clinton and Gore out of office.
Obama is the very antithesis of this. He abhors any kind of inhumanity to man. He never supported Bush's phoney war. He never voted for exceptions for torture. His campaign is clean and free of any connection to special interests. He is not about replacing Bush but making far reaching changes to the political system itself.
There is simply no comparison.

There are some people in our Democratic Country that would do anything to get their candidate other that abide by the people. I think this is a disgrace and I know that 2 wrongs will not make things right, but if Hillary wins and I have truly voted democratic for years I am going to change my vote to McCain which I have heard that others are planning on doing

Does the Clinton campaign wonder why their negative attacks on Obama are not working? Let me tell you. Obama has created a social movement. His supporters become a part of the social movement. Every time there is a negative attack on Obama, his supporters, as an active particpate in the social movement, take it personal. An attack on Obama is a personal attack on each of his supporters.
Keep it coming Clinton and McCain, every negative statement made about Obama only makes his supporters stronger in their support and willing to donate more time and money to his campaign. Not to mention it makes us dislike you all the more!

Obama outspent Hillary in Wisconsin, using lots of attack ads, negative calls,… but nobody in Media seems to be interested to talk about that.

Obama’s latest smear campaign;
Will he stop at anything to be elected?
New York Times, a known Obama whorshiper published a story without any substantiative evidence to smear John Mccain’s ethical records.

Hillary, is the only candidate who did not have any relationship out of her marriage in this election!
She represent the ethical and moral choice in this election!

You all are listening… but you are not hearing!
Patrick did not have the right to give Obama permission to use those quotes. They belonged to Roosevelt, and to Kennedy, and to Martin Luther King! and if their words were borrowed, these people deserved to have been acknowledged!
And it IS a big deal! It was Martin Luther King’s dream, NOT Obama’s.
And Obama’s whole campaign was based on shallow eloquence.
And too many of us have been taken in by the sounds… and not enough sensed the weakness of substance.
And this and his color were 99 percent of what he had to offer.
And at first I was proud of the mixed races which flocked to the sound of his voice.
But them I noticed that though the whites welcomed his poetry,the race which clung to him the most… as if he were a saviour… were the blacks. And I realized that this poetic man who chanted on about change…. had already done what he’d promised.
He had catapulted us back in time to another time of change……the 50′s.
Only the people had been reversed.

In the 2nd scandal of sort, CBS revelead tonight that Obama has used several lines of Edwards in his speeches!
Media did not say if he has any permission from Edwards to do that.
Obama! you have nothing to offer, even your rhethorics are not yours!

Did you expect anything less from HRC? This is what you do when you state publicly that the race will be over by Feb. 5 and on Feb. 20th you find yourself 0-10. Bring it on Hillary and 527s. Maybe you can dial up Rove and the old Swift Boaters who are looking for work? They’ll help you get the nomination…that’s the Republican party’s only hope for victory.

These posts are absolutely ridiculous!
This country needs integrity and a leveling of the playing field. This negative mudslinging is out of hand! The American people are fed up with it and are doing something about it!
Bottom line, neither of the candidates have been President before. Change for the better. Regardless of who wins the faceoff in the Democratic Party, People are sick of the Republicans Party as it is.

Obviously the article is implicating that Obama’s patrons who donate large sums of money don’t do the same thing….
Why hasn’t the media performed research on the “millions” in his war chest? Especially since one individual who helped raise funds for Obama will be on trial next Tuesday. Groups like these were common during the 2000 and 2004 race. They are common now with hateful websites indicating to stop Hillary from becoming the Democratic nominee. Obama’s camp leader was a former B. Clinton appointee who worked with an Energy law firm after B. Clinton’s term ended (no public service there, other than to get paid litigating the corporate giants interests/patents).
Obviously many individuals with deep pockets and a distaste for anything Clinton will continue to help in fundraising for Obama, placing untruthful ads (which could also be considered slanderous) [check a nonbiased site, factcheck.org]. As a matter of fact, I think Obama has learned a LOT from his distant cousin ;). He’s learned how to attack at something which is not entirely factual, but since he’s made it his mantra, it is sticking:
“You Voted For the War”
Cheney: It’s awfully hard to convey a sense of credibility to allies when you voted for the war…and then you voted against supporting the troops…
Factcheck’s comments:
Cheney Overstates Iraq Resolution
Cheney repeatedly said Edwards had voted “for the war” and “to commit the troops,” when in fact the Iraq resolution that both Kerry and Edwards supported left the decision to the president and called for intensified diplomacy.
The resolution for which Edwards and Kerry voted said, “The President is authorized to use the Armed Forces of the United States as he determines to be necessary and appropriate.”
And Edwards made clear in a statement at the time of his vote that he hoped to avoid war by enlisting broad support from the United Nations and US allies:
Edwards ( Oct. 10, 2002 ): I believe we should act now for two reasons: first, bipartisan congressional action on a strong, unambiguous resolution, like the one before us now, will strengthen America’s hand as we seek support from the Security Council and seek to enlist the cooperation of our allies.
If the administration continues its strong, if belated, diplomacy, backed by the bipartisan resolve of the Congress, I believe the United States will succeed in rallying many allies to our side.
Second, strong domestic support and a broad international coalition will make it less likely that force would need to be used.
In fact, not even Bush himself characterized the resolution as a vote “for war” at the time. Speaking at the White House Rose Garden Oct. 2, 2002, Bush said:
Bush (Oct. 2, 2002): None of us here today desire to see military conflict, because we know the awful nature of war. Our country values life, and never seeks war unless it is essential to security and to justice. America’s leadership and willingness to use force, confirmed by the Congress, is the best way to ensure compliance and avoid conflict. Saddam must disarm, period. If, however, he chooses to do otherwise, if he persists in his defiance, the use of force may become unavoidable.
Therefore I fail to see why the media hasn’t pointed this unbiased article’s research out, unless…..
they’re favoring one candidate over another which is a t r a v e s t y in journalism. Senator Clinton can accept monies from the group just as Obama can accept monies from the Crowns, and other groups of individuals…but we’ll never know the extent until journalists discover the tough answers and state the truth.
Obama has excellent points to reason with, however with agreeing with most points of Clinton and then ‘number crunching’ to see how they can be articulated differently– without a ONE on ONE debate (I roll my eyes when he mentions 18 debates!), there is no way to respectively judge the two. And to think of what Obama said about Edwards, whom I supported first before accepting Hillary as my candidate, substianted my disappointment with the media’s myopic views.

Wow, what a skeevy scheme to thwart campaign finance laws!
This 527 is ILLEGAL – you’re not supposed to just get your supporters (Wesley Clark, Chuck Shumer, Gray Davis – worst politician ever, Villarigosa, Richardson) to form some shill group to solicit $100k contributions. However it’s probably just easier for Obama to let her lose on her merits rather than play that trashy game of filing lawsuits the way camp Hillary likes to do, even when the law isn’t on her side like in Vegas.
Probably an act of desperation, given that her campaign was $12.6million in debt by the end of January . . .

Wow, Hillary’s folks are getting desparate. She’s turned out to be GW Bush in a pantsuit. Ugh.

>>>Why hasn’t the media performed research on the “millions” in his war chest? Especially since one individual who helped raise funds for Obama will be on trial next Tuesday. Groups like these were common during the 2000 and 2004 race. They are common now with hateful websites indicating to stop Hillary from becoming the Democratic nominee.<<<
My friend. It's precisely these kinds of negative attacks that are dooming your case.

Wow! Can you say sore loser.

William A. K. Titelman has another instance of donating to a politician who’s shown a proclivity to hire those who donate the most to his campaign.
William A. K. Titelman used his son to make a donation to Ohio Attorney General Marc Dann, and was subsequently hired to defend Dann in a fraud suit against Fannie Mac.
Furthermore, Hillary’s advisor Harold Ickes is considered the mac-daddy of 527′s . . . not supposed to have candidate’s agents/strategists involved in forming 527′s . . .

The Clintons need to look at saving what is left of their legacy and make sure whether they win or lose this thing they fight it clean from here on out. They have already destroyed their relationship with the African American community and are in serious danger of doing the same with a large number of Democrats if they go dirtier! I understand wanting to fight it out to the end, but not the need to destroy the party if it gives them a chance to some how steal the nomination. Hillary still has a chance to come out of this with a good reputation and a chance to remain a leader in Democratic politics for decades to come, but if they continue to rely on negatives to win this race she is endangering her future as well as what is left of the Clinton legacy.

You know I am a republican that is not voting for john Mcain and I am trying to decide between Hillary & Obama. Quite frankly I have found so many negative posts about “republicans” on Hillarys blog I chose not to even sign up, i gave up and I am going with Obama. So much for unity.

lol – ‘msg to sam the cat’ . . . got it over and out :D
It is just my assessment – that’s a legitimate point. We will have to agree to differ.
I base it on stuff like the NOTE at the end “Some minor tweaks in diction to this post were made for accuracy about the actual ads. And the sentence about the ads not mentioning Obama by name was added.”
It’s just a pattern I see of the Clintons following the letter but not the spirit of the law, using half-truths and lies by omission. I’m pretty sure I’m not the only one who’s noticed that trend, and I dare say that might be a substantial part of the reason Barack is where he is and Hillary is where she is.
jmo! :D

‘laughing my head off’, I think you’re missing the point – Obama had nothing to do with that 527. He didn’t endorse it, and encouraged the founders to instead contribute directly to his campaign. By doing so, he limits the amount of their contribution but gains control of the message he wants to put out. Obama isn’t short of funds because he’s motivated many of us to want to donate.
Hillary is not ceding either limitations on the amounts of the contributions or control of her message by setting up an illegal 527 through use of shills. It means somewhere down the road this politically-connected New York based fundraiser might be in for a payoff at the State’s expense . . .
Just pointing out that Hillary is once again not playing by the rules . . .

Hillary unlike her husband is the only candidate in this race, without no relationship out of her marriage!
Let’s elect a woman! end this cycle of male corruption and sex scandal in Washington!
Let’s face it guys! We are nothing but animals! We alwasy need women to guid us!
How many stories have you heard about a female politician scandal in the past?
Answer: none!

O bama is winning because a lot of clinton supporters are crossing over to his side as a result of negetive advertisment and unhealthy statements from clinton and female journalists in America.
Also Sen McCain is already afraid of obama in the general election. This is a shame on McCain.
Hillary CANNONT MANAGE her campaign team properly, how then will she manage a big country like america.
Jide from IRELAND.

to Johnny at work, lets face facts
So ethics reform was not pushed through by Obama at the Illinois state senate level? Single-mothers in Illinois did not get a break on public transportation and their kids do not ride for free? He has pushed through no healthcare or childcare initiatives while serving as a state senator? He has worked with no Republicans on bi-partisan legislation at the state or U.S. level? He has not pushed through legislation that would require the use of cameras when interrogating suspects of capital crimes and did not receive a commendation for his efforts by the police force? He did not put forth an extraordinary effort with bipartisan support to gain and protect resources for the rebuilding efforts of Hurricane Katrina and to prevent no-bid contracts like Halliburton from occurring like in Iraq under Hillary’s watch and non-opposition? He did not produce the most sweeping ethics reform since Watergate as quoted by other media sources? He did not work on legislation to deal with the issues of Darfur? And all media agrees he was consistent on being against the Iraq war eventhough Bill continues to lie about it over and over again despite the media pointing out that he’s wrong.Hillary has been First Lady most of her adult life and served has 7 years as an elected official versus Obama’s 11 total years as an elected offical (4 in the U.S. Senate this year), exactly what hard core pieces of legislation has she brought to the table besides SCHIP? I’ll be waiting for a substantive response. How much of her experience is Bill’s and how much is actually hers? Besides, do you really want to continue handing the country back and forth between the Clinton’s and Bill’s second newfound family the Bush’s? Jeb Bush will likely be running in 8 more years and win too, because he’s actually supposed to be the smart one. The best thing to do is to end this senseless familial dynasty stuff now or pay for it for the next 12-16 years. Real change starts with proof of change.

I’ve been hearing a lot about “solutions not speeches” or “sound action not sound bites,” but I fail to understand how these “solutions” or how this “sound action” has helped us so far? I do believe Mrs. Clinton is an intelligent person, but when I think of the troubles we face, I know I don’t want a person who goes on the attack whenever things are not going their way. How do you speak of family values while acting like a child kicking and rolling (this is of course a hyberpole)? I know we’re going to need someone willing to make compromises (nobody’s policies ever escape the House or the Senate without compromise). I know we need someone who is willing to work with people even if those people are not who we like. I know we need someone who will be honest with the public even when most would advise to be dishonest. Clinton is not this kind of person. Her “actions” have proven that within the last month. She made me realize that Obama is exactly the kind of president this country needs.

Google Obama and Sinclair. I had not seen this until persuaded by other posters to take a look.
I tried to post links to this story but they were censored by ABC.
ABC is publishing allegations about McCain, Why are allegations about Obama off limits?
Google Obama and

Obviously Obama is the front runner for a reason. If Clinton was as great as her supporters claim then she would have more people voting for her.

thank god; it’s about time. after the despicable crap obama pulled in nevada, he and his supporters have NO RIGHT TO COMPLAIN.

Well, for goodness sake, somebody needs to delve into the “real” Obama. So far the media has refused to do it. Now that they’ve almost succeeded in handing him the democratic nomination on a silver platter, they have set their sites on disparaging McCain with 10 year old allegations, while we still haven’t penetrated the surface of the Obama facade. And as someone who would prefer a worker, like Hillary Clinton, in the White House over a smooth talker like Obama who’s actions seems to contradict his words, I don’t have a problem with it. Associates of his campaign have been running negative ads against Clinton via the 527s since before the Nevada Caucuses. I guess it’s only news when someone other than Obama does it.

I believe in Obama because I believe in hope and change and Obama believes in hope and change. And if I believe in hope and he believes in hope then there must be hope for a better future and a better past and a better life.
Yes, I believe in Obama….

Of course there is a group formed outside all boundaries or ethics and accountability for Hillary. It’s a Clinton signature.
Quick comment. Ironic note that it’s through SPEECHES that Hillary decries SPEECHES over solutions. What solutions did she ever pull off, except to enable Bill”s philandering. If his career would go down, so would hers.
These are great questions posed by someone on another blog. ” Questions for Hillary that will never be asked.
If you want the voters to rely on your White House experience why will you not have the records of your time in the White House released now?
If you want the voters to rely on your ability to manage money why will you not release your tax records now?
How can you guarantee the American Public that your new CoPresidency with Bill Clinton will not have as much indiscretion and scandal as your last?
I believe that Hillary took the 5th or did not remember, did not recall or did not know the answers to over 1000 questions during various investigations and grand juries she was summoned to attend during her years as CoPresident. That being true, I would also like the following question asked.
Mrs. Clinton, you did not remember, did not recall, did not know the answers to over 1000 questions regarding your time in the White House. How is it you remember all your experience in the 35 years since you graduated from college but could not remember what you did or what happened in the White House during the time you were there?
Have fun.
Hera

527? !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! thank God at last someone is coming to rescue Hillary.No this has been unfair of the American Press this is bad!!!!!!!!!!!! CNN, NYT ETC. because we dont really know if to say that the American election is no more Obama for president but American press for president. I think we should say insted of Obama for president CNN for president or NYT for president

This is petty, dirty politics people. So we have to ask ourselves… do we want a politician or a president?
Do we want a politician who will so desperately attack? Or do we want a change?

Time is of the essence here. We need to stand up for this wonderful country.
Thank the Lord for this fantastic group of people who want to save this country for a debacle! I am impressed for their passion, intelligence and true creativity.
Obama get ready for REAL competition. I believe that he is a good success story; but from that to become the next President of the United States of America, there is a gap that only Hillary can fill. She is a woman with the intelligence, conviction, experience credentials and resolve that are required for the “job”.
GO Hillary !!!

—–Obama Supporter congress man on national television can’t even name one accomplishment
*
People just like the personality or attribute- nothing else and no accomplishments. Its pathetic some of these people show up for vote with out knowing anything and haring to some anti-Clinton media and talk show hosts

Hillary’s campaign can’t raise enough money for this election, so she is now relying on outside sources to advertise for her. Sad.

hillary hasn’t apologized for the war!
it’s really that simple. had she done so when we all ‘realized’ (aka, ‘woke up’) it was a mistake she should have apologized.
too bad she is so stubborn and pig headed because she would have made a great president.

I guess the Clintons’ have coined a new phrase for the ages- vetting out. It seesm that their self touted advantage is that their weakness should be cepted because they are well know; impeachment, . whitewater, lobbyists, dissembly, race baiting, divisiveness. Okay so they’re “vetted”; does the fact that we know the horse is lame make her a favorite to win the race? If Obama’s survived the campaign of personality assault so far, a clique of wealthy 527 henchmen isn’t going to “vet” out any achilles heel that will cripple the once dark horse turned odds-on favorite down his home stretch.

Obama Supporter congress man on national television can’t even name one accomplishment
………..
It got to be more serious than this – People just like the personality or attribute- nothing else and no accomplishments. Its pathetic some of these people show up for vote with out knowing anything and hearing to some media and talk show hosts know how to target audience. I prefer Clinton or McCain not the media favorites and talk show hosts (wish they could go back to B spears and others )

Where did Hillary get her so-called 35 years of relevant experience? She graduated law school at age 25, she is now 60. Do these “35 years of experience include the time she spent at the Rose Law Firm trying to make all the money she could? The time she spent at Wal-Mart fighting the employees’ attempts to form a union? Or maybe it includes the time she spent working on the White Water land deal, or Travel Gate or the time she spent with Foster. As someone else said, “The truth and Hillary Clinton are complete strangers.”

When promise sound too good to be true, you have to immediately consider what’s next right after sweet offer? sounds negitive for some people only know about dream, But this is also the wisdom people will learn from real life. Politician is no different.
In this race, Integrity is my first priority.

rhbate, you bring up a great point. At 60, Hillary should have 35 years of experience. The question is how many of those 35 years of experience was she accountable to voters? Let’s do the math. She was elected for the first time to the Senate in 2000. That would give her 8 years of relevant experience.

Why are Obamanods crying foul YET AGAIN over nothing? There is nothing illegal about a 527. There is nothing hidden here, no secret. We all know who the people are behind it.

Forget the candidates “SLAMMING” each other. Politicians have always done that thru-out history. CITIZENS of the United States of America…PLEASE…Remember what’s the candidates are “about”. What they stand for. And from now on, people of the United States, hold our future Presidents and their Administrations accountable, to US. And not live in fear anymore, after having our Constitutional Rights stripped, by this current President and his Administration. I thought that crime doesn’t pay? (We have been paying him a salary) I thought that violating an U.N. Charter was a crime? God help us for letting THIS current President get away with his crimes….We just sent a message to future Presidents that with money, you can do ANYTHING. Shame on us, and God help the future generations.

Obama has been buying off delegates and caucases across the country, right and left by contributing 4 times as much to their campaigns according to the center for responsive politics. And it’s PACs that are finding it and all that is is money from Oprah and Will Smith and the like. They can contribute millions to Obama and they have. It’s really criminal, the whole thing.

Regarding the Center for Responsive Politics blurb, note that both Clinton and Obama have raised money for fellow democratic candidates (Obama has been more successful at it apparently!). Supporting the campaigns of fellow democrats is a way of supporting the party, and much of this support came before Obama even decided to run. In addition, note that Obama has raised more than twice as much money for superdelagates that have NOT expressed support for his candidacy than for those who have expressed support. Hard to argue from this that hey is buying off superdelegates.
— Since 2005, Obama’s committees gave $228,000 to superdelegates who have endorsed him, $363,900 to those who were still undecided, and $102,400 to those who have endorsed Clinton.
–Clinton’s committee’s gave $95,000 to superdelegates who have endorsed her, $88,000 to those who were still neutral, and $12,500 to those who have endorsed Obama.

This is just too funny. Some of the statements are so ridiculous, it has to be a joke. Folks, you can’t argue with ignorance and this is clearly a ploy to create negativity and stir up hatred for each other. God sees and knows all and as long as you are prepared to accept responsibility for statements and actions . . . go for it because you will have to pay for it.

I really did not want to accept the media reports that say Clinton supporters are generally undereducated. However, after reading their postings here, I think they have removed all doubt. There may be a few educated people supporting Clinton, but education is not an indication of common sense.

I noticed that Obama was being blamed by at least one person as being responsible for the McCain smear.It should be noted that the first report on McCain was from Matt Drudge from the Drudge report.It should also be noted that the Drudge is very right wing and anti democrat.Look to your own party for the John McCain “leak” After all they thought McCain wasn’t conservative enough for their taste.

The Clinton effort to raise funds without responsibility… ambiguous ads that suggest attack on Obama while offering lowered expectations as the only alternative… What an embarrassment to the Democratic party! Disgusting.

She and her group are right: action speaks lower for itself!
To win a losing compaign, she acts just like her political partner called Bill Clinton. They are using all these dirty tricks, in this case, gathering money to spend purely for her smear compaign against Obama without taking any responsibility.
In the way, one can see that at least McCain promoted campaign finance reform so such tricks can not be easily played. In this sense, voting for Hillary Clinton is worse than voting for McCain — no principle, a hopeless old dirty political way!!!
Vote for hope, vote for inspiration, vote for a decent person, vote for the better future of this country, Vote For Obama!!!

Typical Clinton sleaze and big-money, special-interest poltics. It won’t make any difference — she’s going down and she knows it.

Obama-manics get all in arms and attack Senator Clinton and her campaign whenever things do not go well for their “messiah”.
Shall we forget this little piece of Obama sleeze and lies:
Obama Toured His Now-Home With Rezko Who Was Under Investigation At The Time Feb. 20, 2008
Watchdog groups are questioning why it took Sen. Barack Obama more than a year to disclose additional details of his dealings with indicted fundraiser Antoin “Tony” Rezko.
Lawmakers Call for Congress to Probe Bodies Shows in Wake of ’20/20′ ReportExclusive: Drug Smugglers Dig Record Number of Tunnels in 2007Fugitive Watch: Have You Seen This Woman? While Rezko was known to be under federal investigation, Obama toured a Chicago-area home with him to get his opinion of the property, Obama’s campaign revealed to Bloomberg News for a story published Monday. The politician later bought the home, with Rezko’s help, who bought the adjoining lot in what was effectively a package deal.
Until then, Obama has professed trouble recalling such details during interviews with reporters.

This all just shows that in America everything is for sale, even the presidency. I don’t know if Obama will be a good or a bad president in the event he wins, but in this moment he has given ordinary Americans some of their selfrespect and dignity back as well as a fighting chance to halt the sell out of our country to big business, corporations, pressure groups and corrupt politics. America has been much too long focused on money and profit and has forgotten all about what our forefathers fought for: We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defence, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America.
Think about what today remains of the dreams for which they gave their lives and which candidate will be the most likely to restore to the people what belongs to the people! I think the answer is clear enough to all.

Yeah… Obama claims all innocence in not knowing. Just like he claimed he didn’t know Tony Rezko was being investigated before speaking with him on the phone about his house purchase.
Interesting how the Chicago papers were plastered with Rezko being investigated the month before Obama put his offer to purchase on the home.
I guess Barack Obama fails to read the front pages of the Chicago news paper.
In the same manner, he claims he didn’t know about the companies and their dealings when he bought their stock. Shall we dig a little further??
Lets watch the Obama worshippers shake and quake and spin their way out of this one.

WILL THE CLINTON’S FRIENDS “BODYCOUNT” RISE BEFORE THIS ELECTION IS OVER, IN ORDER TO CONFIRM A WIN?

Can we all say hypocrite really loudly and slowly??
For more than five weeks during the brutal winter of 1997, tenants shivered without heat in a government-subsidized apartment building on Chicago’s South Side.
It was just four years after the landlords — Antoin “Tony” Rezko and his partner Daniel Mahru — had rehabbed the 31-unit building in Englewood with a loan from Chicago taxpayers.
Rezko and Mahru couldn’t find money to get the heat back on.
But their company, Rezmar Corp., did come up with $1,000 to give to the political campaign fund of Barack Obama, the newly elected state senator whose district included the unheated building.
Obama has been friends with Rezko for 17 years. Rezko has been a political patron to Obama and many others, helping to raise millions of dollars for them through his own contributions and by hosting fund-raisers in his home.
Obama, who has worked as a lawyer and a legislator to improve living conditions for the poor, took campaign donations from Rezko even as Rezko’s low-income housing empire was collapsing, leaving many African-American families in buildings riddled with problems — including squalid living conditions, vacant apartments, lack of heat, squatters and drug dealers.

Being European, and kind of indifferent, I ‘m right now even more appalled at the first couple of comments then at the actual article. I don’t know when people are going to realize it but it’s all the negativism that’s just undermining all credibility and dignity. If this is how you treat your fellow patriots, using this kind of negative attacks against a pretty impressive phenomenon, you’ve got a lot to learn…. O8

I think if obama wins the nominee, it would be a cake walk for the republican machinery to work, it will be very difficult for him to survive the conservative 527 group attack, it would go some thing like “would you want america to be ruled by a Hussein ?” That is all it takes for the poll numbers to tumble.
I think this election is clear now itself who will be the president, there is too much hype and hoopla going in the media, I don’t understand why CNN has to hype their polls towards one candidate they like.
The 527 have the power to tilt the election as they did for john kerry, hillary has a chance in fighting but still McCain will win.

Don’t let all the “ads,surrogates,mailers” make your decision about who you support. Listen to the candidates, compare their policies. How do they behave under pressure, how do they behave in success and in defeat? Who has taken the most and lowest shots at the other.
Do you want 4 more years of the Clinton-Bush “monarchy”? Is it time to bring new ideas and a new politics? It is the young voters who should care as they will be here to clean up the mess created by the current generation of long term politicians and politics as usual.
If nominations are won in the same old way using the same old politics – why would anyone think that they won’t get the same old thing?
A novel concept is to let the voters speak and have the final vote as to the nominee.
Negative shots, negative ads and tearing the candidates down wll destroy the Democratic party and will give the White House to the Republicans.
Think about what you say, think about what you want, think about the conduct of the candidates, their surrogates and the 527′s that back them.
Will you be a part of new politics and new ideas or will you fall for the old style of politics and more of the same?

A Hillary PAC running positive ads now is like Hillary finding her voice in New Hampsire – fatally late and amazingly clueless that it is. Besides, how’s that supposed to play with her scalding (and came off as scolding) actions over his mailers? Schizophrenic. Disorganized. Desperate. Done.

Regarding Barack Obama and my reasons for not liking him and not voting for him.
Many of them are logical and I cannot debate his supporters who come back with illogical responses based on personal jabs and loss for words thus things like “You’re a waste of time.”
I also have gut feelings about him that aren’t quantifiable but they are logical.
Since we don’t know a lot about him, since he doesn’t have as much of a history as Hillary Clinto for us to say, “OK, he is a pretty responsible person, he doesn’t have a chip on his shoulder about being an “African” American (he really isn’t but I suppose that’s neither here nor there in most instances), he is definitely completely PRO USA and has no ties or allegiances to Farrakhan, etc.
I am still perplexed about his membership in a church (Christian?), that aligns itself with Farrakhan, a Muslim (another reason for my gut feeling).
He goes back on his promises, votes present in IL senate to preseve HIS political standing rather than trying to go on record as opposing a bill in it’s final form or better yet, CHANGE IT! WORK TO CHANGE IT! THIS CANDIDATE OF CHANGE DOESN’T SEEM TO BE ABLE TO DO THIS IN IL VERY EFFECTIVELY!
He said he would not run for president in 2008. Then he said it was due to wanting more experience, etc. OK, so according to some of his supporters here, he was told what a wonderful candidate he would be.
This just proves that what he says today in his campaining can DEFINITELY be manipulated and changed by OTHERS. He can be made to change HIS mind and go against his own promises and visions.
So that among many other things makes me wonder what changes we can believe in today which he will go back on tomorrow.
He is too raw, new, inexperienced and flaky to have my vote.

I’m sick of all these people who are calling for Clinton to drop out. They are probably quitters in their own lives, or they’d admire Hillary’s tenacity, and know that is one of the most important qualities of a leader. In addition, the foundation of a democratic society is to count ALL the votes, and not to prematurely pull the rug, just to serve the needs of a particular political party. I’ve also noticed that most of the anti-Hillary postings do not attack her on substantive issues, but instead merely consist of nasty insults. This says more about Senator Clinton’s detractors than about Mrs. Clinton. Also, the lock-step nature of the anti-Hillary blogs appear to be a coordinated and organized effort by the Obama campaign.

In a democracy, why should Senator Clinton’s loyalties to the democratic party transcend her loyalties to the 18 million Americans who voted for her? In a democracy, why should the self interest of a few hundred party delegates transcend 18 million popular votes? Although Senator Clinton is being made out to be the spoiler, I see the DNC as the spoiler of democracy … that’s why I’m a democrat of 40 years, who will be voting for McCain in November.

Stop this non sense Hillary backers, she did not have the popular vote unless you subtract huge swaths of caucus voters and say that he did not receive any votes in MI. Do any of you really believe this?
As for experience Mr. Obama has MORE legislative experience than Hillary, yes that is a fact. I am sorry but first lady has and still is not a legislative position.
Lastly saying he has accomplished nothing is again wrong and uneducated. Mr Obama single handedly push through ethics reform, transparency in government spending and veterans benefits, but those aren’t important pieces of legislation? And they aren’t at the heart of what is wrong with our government?
Educate yourselves he is a brilliant man with a solid record, yes he is young, but since when is that the only reason to not trust someone. In fact some of this worlds greatest discoveries have been made by the youngest of all.
Lastly to those who claim he said he would not run for the Presidency, please take a look what has happened to our great country since he said that, the time is now. I respect his sense of urgency.
Thanks for listening.
