Obama Wins in Iowa — Again

did Obama go after clinton’s delegate so clinton lost one?

Im not an Obama supporter but I must admit that unlike others who have been bashing him over his pastor I would say he handled it well. Compare and contrast that with Hillary and Ferraro or McCain and Pastor Hagee. To me this means he can handle a crisis very well. I wish him well.

It is MOST ALARMING to see just how many Black Americans embrace the views of Rev. Wright! As was clear by the words of the guests on Bill O’Reilly’s show Friday Evening. The two black female pundints were very clear that “Many Black Americans agree with Rev. Wright”.
Regardless of the relationship between Obama and Wright. So many who do agree with Rev Wright see Barack Obama as a President who will further their agenda. THAT! is SCARY!!!!

To dem in chicago: Cool, I am glad you agree that delegates can vote for whomever they choose. I hope you ALSO agree, UNLIKE you leader, that superdelegates can vote for whomever they choose too! So there should be no whining when the majority picks Hillary.

Who cares if he gets more delegates. What I care about his his realtionship with this Rev. Wright Black Activist for 20 years. That speaks volumes.
You can’t dance around this one Osama.
“Obama clearly realizes that his spiritual mentor could be a major political liability – which explains why, at the last minute, he canceled plans to have Wright deliver an invocation at his presidential-campaign kickoff.”
I would never vote OBAMA, not even if they paid me 50 mil.

I see the momentum is still going in the Obama camp. People please recognize what is at play here. The strategy is divide and conquer. We have to stand behind our top democratic candidate. If we don’t do this we will be heading for the “Great Depression” with the Republican administration.

Obama said on a plane the other day that he was 80% there. I just did the math and including the Texas caucus delegates he was right on. That’s a nice psychological boost for the Obama campaign.

JJ: Yeh Right!!!!!Whatever!!!!If someone gave you a 50 million you would vote for the Devil himself!!!Give me a break!!!!!

Iowa keeps getting it right!!!!

This attention to Obama’s pastor is ridiculous–Obama has repudiated what this man has said on certain occasions. Let’s now examine what the ministers on the Right have had to say. I don’t hear McCain repudiating their racist homophobic rhetoric and let’s examine Ms. Clinton’s religious connections–she was First Lady of Arkansas, not exactly a bastion of progressive thinking. Clinton wooed segregationists to win the governorship. Let’s face it-all of the candidates have connections to people of questionable morality and/or outlandish opinions. If you’re looking to elect Jesus Christ, you’re out of luck. Take the time to learn where the candidates stand on the issues that mean something to you and look at their actual actions and stop getting side-tracked on by the sideshow of who’s got the wackiest supporter. It’s meaningless and gets us no where.

Hillary has figured out she cannot win the nomination without turning white voters against Barrack Obama (she has to win the remaining states like Pa. and NC by larger numbers to pick up additional votes). She will turn to people like her husband, Bill Clinton and Geraldine Ferraro, to inflame Black’s to the point the point that Farrakhan, Jesse Jackson and Al Shappton jump in and really “inflame” the passions of white voters.. Hillary will stand by and point her finger at someone else, and say “I did not do it, they did”. She already know’s the majority of voters that support her are idiot’s anyway, and are stupid enough to fall for her new strategy….Smearjay

wait…. hear that?
The sweet, sweet sound of Mark Penn, Harold Ickes, and Wolfson’s heads exploding simultaneously.

That sounds better. How nice to see people who understand what Barack has to do for them.
Barack has shown his skills, talents, strategies, tactics and decision making abilities.
Iowa you are angels!

Hillary Clinton will “Do Anything” to get elected POTUS. Are you starting to understand the meaning of “Do Anything?”

Looks like Obama may win the democrat nomination and that is good news.
Because after seeing who his spiritual mentor is, he will definitely NOT win the general.

I’m sorry but I just don’t trust Obama anymore. How can he claim to represent all the peoples of America when he is STILL a member of a racist and divisive church that writes its sermons around hating one particular skin color. I just saw a video of the new pastor claiming that gangsta rap was written by white corporations. This is just ridiculous. This is the church our president goes to that he takes his children to? no way. I am profoundly disappointed in Obama

Many mainstream media outlets are NOT playing the videos of Rev. Wright.
Why? Because they’re Obama people, and they KNOW those will ruin him.
The Republicans are making commercials of this as we speak. Obama is toast.

I was on Anderson Cooper’s blog the other night after he interviewed Obama, and 99% of them think he handled it HORRIBLY. And these were supporters of his.

Basically people has to see who has more agenda for America. I don’t vote on the basis of their color or agenda or media. I will support whoever stands best for USA and seem for me. I am still 50% for Hillary and 50% for Obama,
Both are well qualified candidates and can handle stuffs. I know that Obama is a well speaker than Hillary but what they stand is also important. This guy Obama is going beyond

Ps. I TRULY believe that Nader is being paid-off by the Repubs…I mean WHY ELSE would he run a THIRD time w/out the $$$ needed to give him a better shot at it THIS time (why would an intelligent man like himself, do such a STUPID thing)?!?! (Think about it!!!)

Clearly, the democrats in Iowa are thinking more clearly than many of the posters and posers on this blog. While many have tried to make a mountain out of a molehill over a few fiery, over-the-top speeches/sermons by Rev. Wright, it is encouraging to see that most thinking americans will not let that stand in the way of voting for real change and hope in these trying times!
I tried to post some links, to Rev. Wright’s “Audacity of Hope” sermon, which so inspired Senator Obama, to Senator Obama’s video response to the controversy, and to a sermon by TUCC’s new pastor, but the post was cen sored (even while they allow some of the racist stuff we continue to see in Obama attackers). Go find it for yourself on Y-Tube.
For those who say, “I can never vote for Obama,” I feel sorry for you in your short-sightedness and willingness to see John McCain win the WH.
Obama 2008 — Yes, WE CAN!!

Obama is not responsible for every word uttered by his former pastor. I cannot think of anyone where I agree with everything that they say, including my own pastor. I agree with most of the things my pastor preaches, but not all of them. I have even considered at times changing my church membership, but when I have visited other churches, I find myself in the same situation after time: I agree with most of the things that the preacher at the new church states, BUT NOT ALL. Obama has clearly shown who HE is during his tenure in the Illinois state legislature and the US Senate, and who he is does not match the rhetoric of his pastor. The same goes for Hillary. She is not responsible for everything said by her supporters. Obama and Clinton can denounce and reject the things that they disagree with, but in the end, we as voters must judge the candidates on who they are, not who their supporters are.

Keith, You’re right about Mike Gravel! The bad thing is, most Democrats want a corrupt politician in the White House. Now, if Gravel would go do some of the corrupt things that Hillary has done, he’d be a shoe-in.

Gail -
This is not just about Obama’s pastor, it’s about a congregation that he belonged to for 20 years. In the videos the congregation is clapping and cheering, no one booed or walked out. Every representative of Trinity that has been interviewed has defended Wright’s statements. The website has been changed a couple times since Obama entered this race to hide the offensive material. I’m sorry, but there is no excuse for this. It’s like being part of the KKK, then saying I wasn’t at all the meetings.

I’ve done some thinking as to how Barack could best parlay the Hillary ad that dogged him so much in the Texas and Ohio campaigns. If she persists in using it in future campaigns, his producers should counter with their own ad that purports to extend Hillary’s ad:
It’s 1997. Ah the good old days. 3AM. Hillary is busily reflecting in her diary on her latest foreign policy achievements. The red phone rings:
Hillary: Hello?
Cut to a dark haired bimbo eating a cheeseburger in bed while watching an old movie. That day’s blue dress is draped across an adjacent chair. She is obviously lonely. And she obviously still has unfulfilled needs before she can get to sleep. Maybe the President of the United States can spare a few more minutes for her…..
Bimbo: Hello, is Bill there?
Cut to Bill in bed, gut hanging over the edge, fast in sleep. He’s got a mask over his eyes because she has had that damned light on all night. And, it was a hard day at the office.
Cut to Hillary, obviously agitated.
Hillary: I guess it depends of what the meaning of “is” is. He can’t come to the phone right now.
Bimbo: Ok, just tell him Monica called….I’ll catch him at the office in a day or two….
Now there’s a red phone moment. And Hillary’s right. She probably does have more experience in handling a 3AM call like that than does Barack.
So much for experience.
Hey, brainstorm ! Maybe Barack can convince the Saturday Night Live folks to use something like this in one of their skits and give him some equal airtime !
Only in America.

How many of you people dont agree with your bosses but you dont quit? OBAMA dont agree with everything his former REV said but why should he change CHURCHES? Alots of black churches have a very powerful sermon on SUNDAY mornings. Some issues yo can idenify with others you cant.Afterall this is AMERICA the last time I checked. I quite sure some of the white churches PREACHERS said some things that their worshippers disagree with. Also all the priests that had molested kids did these so-called critics change their churches?

GO AWAY OBAMA. WITH your preacher and mentor JEREMIAH

Does anyone really believe that you can attend one church for twenty years and not know that your pastor is as passionate about hating America as Rev. Wright is? Either Obama is not telling us the truth or is totally inept at judging people. In either case, the conclusion is scary. Our next president must be both honest and capable of judging the other world leaders. My gut feeling is Obama is not the person he makes himself out to be.

For Ready999: I wouldn’t make the “child-molesting priest” my “spiritual mentor”! I wouldn’t name my book after one of his sermons!
The United States people would be crazy to elect Obama as president. More and more, he looks like the enemy. The pieces fit together–pictures of Obama without his hand on his heart during the National Anthem, Michelle Obama saying she’s always been ashamed to be an American, Obama with Muslim connections, Obama with Nation of Islam connections (watch out–look what happened to Malcolm X after he cut ties), Obama with a spiritual mentor who thinks the US is worse than the terrorists and says, “God damn America.” Do we really want this man to be our president??? I vote for Hillary Rodham Clinton.

A non-story if there ever was one. Another handful of delegates for Obama. Big deal. He knows as well as anyone that neither he nor Clinton can get the 2,025 required to secure the nomination. The superdelegates will end up deciding. And foremost in their minds will be how and when the Wright time bomb will blow up and leave Obama with not even a shred of excuse to cover himself with.
As some have already pointed out, the right-wing news media probably already has the incriminating tapes and is just waiting for the opportune moment. For the sake of the party and the country, I hope and believe that the voters of PA will sound the death knell for an Obama campaign that is little more than dead man walking.

Paul – Or it could be that Rev. Wright was not always as angry as he was on those two occasions out of the 20 years of sermons. His rhetoric was inflammatory and wrong, but he was talking about his anger at specific injustices in America, not “hating” America itself. Since no one in his church thinks he hates America, maybe they know something that you don’t?

You are shocked to learn that a lot of black people agree with rev Wright??? I’m puzzled… You treat a whole race of people like garbage for several hundred years and then you are surprised that they dont love you or what you stand for??? Some shite folks are so Arrogant its scary. You treat the rest of the world the same way.. and they hate you too!

Main stream media is corrupt. The fact is they want Obama to be President, that is why you see very, very little on the Rev. Wright controversy. This is why I and many of my friends no longer watch mainstream news, nor subscribe to newspapers. We form our own opinion via other means, means that are more balanced or come directly from the source, not having to be “quantified” or “restructured” by others. If I hear the phrase “taken ourt of context” one more time, I’m going to puke. What in the heck does that mean anyway? If you say it, and I hear it, it is what it is.
I don’t need help understanding what I heard.
The “Obama spin mobile” is in full swing. Now we are going to see the politician come out. I am not concerned with Obama, its the people around him, including his angry wife (she isn’t so proud of her country and the American’s living in it) that concerns me.

When Senator Obama’s wife Michelle said only last month that “…. for the first time in my adult lifetime, I am really proud of my country.” I was able to accept this as a single statement taken out of context, or just an unintended mistake in words. Now, after the news that the Obama’s have attended (and supported?) a church whose message for the last several years seems to be negative on America, I have a harder time believeing the words were a slip.
I think America should change some of its policies and become a better country. At the same time, I don’t believe America has to give away the store and subjugate our selves to weaker world powers.
Senator Obama could possibly become a great president, but I have doubts about his dedication to America first, above all others. His past allegiances make me doubt his judgment and his credentials to become president.

The Dems have got to figure this out and quit their usual ritual of eating their own young enroute to defeat by a smaller, more disciplined party. The Fla, MI debacles were stupid, and Howard Dean should be fired for them. If either state has a revote it will tarnish the dems as “the party of the incapable.” We can’t expect a man with a growing lead to quit, so that leaves one option–Hillary has to put the party first. SHe can’t win without destroying Obama or damaging the party.

Would one of you Hillary supporters please post a site that doesn’t have her on the list of “10 most corrupt politicians”?? I’ve tried so many different ones and everyone has her at #1 or #2 most corrupt.

I support Hillary and if she isnt the nomination, then I will vote for McCain….Obama is the scariest candidate.

Is Obama better than Bush? I used to think so. I’ve just changed my mind.

Pelosi is giving a public hint to Hilary to surrender with with honor and with whatever little dignity she has yet; but will Hilary take the hing?
Or will Hilary continue to deceptively and divisively and deceptively use the IMAGINED Republican-future-attacks-on-Obama as an excuse to be OFF THE ISSUES and , be negative and divisive and destroy the Dems chances?
John McCain still has some honor left in him; and so it is unlikely that McCain will run the kind of nasty and negative campaign the Clintons have been running ever since Hilary got beaten into 3rd place in Iowa, WITH WHICH THE MEDIA HAD NOTHING TO DO!
Hilary Clinton was supposed to be the inevitable candidate; yet she got creamed in Iowa with no negative attacks coming from the underdogs, Obama and Edwards!
Losers EARN the kind of media coverage due them!
Did the media cause Hilary losses FROM DAY ONE? NO!
But her whining and FALSELY playing the victim has duped the media to believe that Hilary was wronged.
The Clintons ran a shoddy, inefficient, expensive and WASTEFUL campaign and lost; yet the media gets blamed?

You can spin it, you can dice it, you can make 11+ delegate lead in 3 states (since March 4th Obama won more delegates, including Texas )to a great victory, you can ignore 12 straight wins to nothing, you can use your polls, at the end,,the truth will prevail..People will win! We will have a great President!
He will guide this great country to a new direction of ever greatness, world will unite and trillions of Dollars will be spent on People, not War!
Wake up, people New day is very near and it is as bright as Sun!
OBAMA 08! YES WE CAN!!!!

Anderson on CNN Gave him the chance to sing God Bless America. He gave a big smile and said didn’t “think he had the talent”. Nor the words on a piece of paper maybe? Notice the body language and how he’s studdering even more now! Euh well I denounce euh of course I euh! Guess he lost his mentor and speech writer. Too bad.

Notice how FOX is keeping this in the news for McCain and Karl Rove. And how ABC is doing it for the Clintons. Most Americans do not see this as a team effort by both the Clinton and McCain camps.
I think Karl Rove, McCain and the Clintons are working together on Obama. They want to get rid of him they know he does not play by there rules. They know Obama is a threat to the way Washington has been doing business for the last 50 years. Obama gets more and more death threats every day from what I hear. They will continue you to attack him not directly but by others. This way The Clintons and McCain they can keep there hands clean. Sean Hannity of Fox wants to destroy Obama he is doing the bidding for Karl Rove. FOX will report as much negative stuff on Obama as they can. They want Hillary to win they are going to try and kill Obama’s chances. FOX will continue to run this story though for as long as they can.
They know he has a good shot of wining in November, this tag team arrangement will be exposed to the public real soon. McCain has the biggest problem it is the economy and Iraq. If anything, and I mean anything goes wrong with either one of these issues McCain is done.
Being a white American I have always been ashamed of our treatment of Blacks and other minorities in this country. Sometimes it makes me sick to see what we have done these people. How we have used them and treating the like animals in the past. Mr. Wright’s comments although I cannot agree with all of them, however I know many African Americans must have some permanent damage to there emotional, spiritual well being that cannot be felt by us White Americans. I for one do forgive and understand Obama’s reasoning for his pastors comments. The stain of slavery on these people may never ever be known or felt by any of us that are white in this country. There Families and traditions were permanently destroyed by what we have done to these group of Americans..
Obama scares them they know he has the people with him and he is threat to the current establishment. When things come out about Obama watch the coordination of attacks with Fox and ABC. ABC is mostly on the web page. Check it out! Tomorrow morning watch this week on ABC everything will be negative on Obama. Those guys at ABC news are doing bidding for Hillary. Just listen they are going to try and spin it so that Obama looks bad and Hillary looks better. They are the old guard they do not want Obama in the White House. They have some ties with the Clintons.

RC:
You’re the one spinning it. Those delegates Obama picked up amount to much of nothing. They said that Hillary would fail on Mar. 3rd and she did not. You are already declaring prematurely a Pres. Osama, he has not won the office yet and should only be referred to as Senator Obama. I wouldn’t get so cocky just yet. Don’t count your bamas before they hatch. Things are changing and quickly. Americans are waking up and the sun IS shining and the truth about Obama is becoming more clear each day as the light shines on him. Each person is entitled to their opinion and I respect yours, now you show some class and respect mine. You clairvoyant or something. This is presidential politics and it is not over until the final hand has been played. I don’t believe in Obama and nothng sarcastic, clever or insulting you write can change my mind. YES WE CAN…see the truth about OBAMA before it’s too late.

One thing for sure is that Republicans never have this kind of in-fight. That is why Republican can win despite enormous odds against them.
They can always tap into the fear and insecurity of under-educated voters.
2004 was “don’t change the course in the middle of a war”. Women voters, which supposed to be democrat-leaning, voted for him overwhelmingly.
Now, women stick to Hillary indiscriminatorily because she is a woman.
My prediction is that they will vote for McCain if McCain puts a woman as his VP because their single most important issue is not the qualification of the candidate, is, in fact, the gender of the cadidate.
McCain couldwin a lot of woman votes if he simply puts his wife as VP.
In this election, women have consistently voted for Hillary even from beginning. Contrast, blacks split their votes almost down in the middle between Obama and Clinton at the beginning. Their switch was much later in the game.
My point is not against women voting for Hillary. My point is vote with bigger picture in mind.

Octavio,
Hillary herself has said that she a lifetime experience in dealing with national security issues and that McCain has a lifetime experience in dealing with national security issues and that Obama has no experience re national security issues. McCain the Republican candidate is better than Obama, since she is losing on the democrat’s side could we not understand that Hillary wants a McCain/Hillary ticket for 2008? They are very close and good friends (ref: Bill Clinton). Can anybody explain where Hillary got that lifetime experience in national secutrity issues or where McCain got that experience. Hillary has lost it, old politics, bringing people down, she has damaged herself and her party, she better vote for McCain a 3rd Bush term.

JJ: “Those delegates Obama picked up amount to much of nothing….”
This is the nicest spin I’ve ever read. Tell this to HRC’s team. They’d love the spin. This is why they have so far falling behind, a bunch of arrogant operatives who don’t even understand the meaning of “responsibility”.

To those who are bashing Obama over his pastor’s remarks. Did anyone think to wonder what was going on in America at the times of those remarks? When he spoke on racism, bigotry and the black man’s plight was it during another tragic saga where a black man had been brutalized by rogue police? Had a broom handle rammed up his as*s at a police precinct by NYPD’s finest? And African student gunned down in a hail of gunfire, forty bullets, hit by nineteen in the lobby of his apartment building? A 92yr. old woman gunned down in the privacy of her home by rogue and corrupt narc cops who planted drugs at the scene to cover their as*s after they realized they’d made a major boo boo? No one thought to consider why Pastor Wright said the things he said. Many were just eager to bash him and throw doo doo bombs at Obama. And Pastor Wright isn’t the only one who has made the statement that it is America’s policies in those countries that have caused terrorism and led to the 9/11 attacks. But of course! No one attacked those individuals. Pastor Wright just openly spoke on something America wish to remain in denial about. It’s alright to point out the injustices and human rights violations of other countries America doesn’t like, but looking in the mirror and admitting America isn’t any better, that’s a hard pill to swallow. After all, America is suppose to be the epitome and champion of human rights. The country that will readily go to war and drop bombs on other countries who fail to own up the “values” America hold so near an dear?

Suze you can do great things with the color of your skin. You can reach out. Sure you have never actively oppressed anyone but please acknowledge that the vast majority of people on welfare and in prisons and receiving poor public education are minorities. Until the issue of race in America is addressed then there will continue to be great resentment of the white people in ‘power’. No one, no one, is expecting white people to agree with the things that Wright has said. But to understand why many people of his congregation agree with him is the first step to hopefully bridging the gap between races.

HILLARY supporters…I invite you to continue with your stubborn approach.
We will not follow you in this little “he did this” game.
It is fun too see the things written. You are making things worst for yourself. It is tough to accept defeat, best to suffer the pain.
The human mind….amazing.

…and 1 more McCain Democrat!

“The forces of division have started to raise their ugly heads again, and I’m not here to cast blame or point fingers because everybody senses the shift,” he said, referencing recent reporting and commentary by supporters of different candidates.

America has two measurement sticks.
If things “go their way” we are all Americans.
If things “dont go their way” well it is racial or gender or someother issue hurting “US” Americans.
I am a US citizen am half-italian half-spanish.
Either I am a naturalized US citizen living in Italy. I was in the US Airforce and served honorably.
Now, my question is. Who gives any US born or naturalized citizen the right to say I am American and you are not?
The concept of globalization has made things even more complicated.
The point is sometimes you are a citizen (natural or born) because you have lived in the country for a long period, contributed to that society, and share same values.
Obama to me looks like a well-respected human being, who happens to be American, and has all the potential to lead a country.
Inform yourself. No country is made up of 100% born-citizens.
Then the black or white thing. He is a human being for god’s sake. Some dignity. It is so harmful to humans in general to say you are white and human you are black and not.
Only God has the right to decide who is who.
People should stop speaking non-sense.

well i see the obama camp is out in force today, must be running scared, he might win the primaries but that want get him into the white house, A bunch of people now see him for what he is,i read in a poll that was just done that his elected vote was way down, go figure that, a man that supports a man that wants God to damn the American people,

“Jennifer S.: So you’ll hold Obama responsible for things he never said or accused you of…?”
No but I will hold him responsible for his judgment to attend a church that DOES hold me responsible and accuse me of things I never did because of my race. If Hillary attended a church led by David Duke for 20 years, and still attended it even today, would you let her slide with a simple “I don’t agree with everything he says?”. Racism will never end as long as there are people like Pastor Wright indoctrinating yet another generation. And a presidential candidate no less!! And his children! I liked Obama and this whole thing has saddened me greatly

Sadly comical how the ever dwindling number of Obama supporters are trying to convince themselves that they’ve actually won the nomination.
Yeah, sure, they’d love to call the game finished now that Obama is being exposed as the charlatan that he is, and by all indications someone who’s happy to consort with racist extremist ideologues,
But, see, the funny thing about liberal democracy, which the Rev. Wrights of the world might not understand, is that everyone who has a right to a vote gets to be heard. That includes the voters in PA, IN, WV, KY and FL again and MI again. And all the polls suggest those people are going to have a real problem with Obama representing their party. See how that works?

Unfortunately all I have is the mainstream media to gather my information from… so just one quick question, are we still invading and occupying Iraq? I never hear about it anymore. All I hear about is Britteny, and about how much the democratic race is heating up, or some American mothers killing their children… but I never hear about YOUR son’s and daughters who have been sent over to “defend our freedoms” in Iraq… did they ever find out what they were dieing for? WMD’s? Osama Bin Laden? Are we still in Iraq? You wouldn’t know it by looking on the front pages anymore….

It appears that Obama supporters are trying real hard to change the whole issue and make it seem like the we are judging Obama because of what his pastor said, that is not the issue, the issue is Obama believing as his pastor does, That would be a problem, now him saying he doesn’t agree with his pastor yet then turn around and say it is the forces of division , which is in support of his pastor,ok now Obama has sat under this man for 20 yrs, Obama is a smart man,and he met this man before he started attending his church,Obama was a civil rights attorney at the time, and a community leader,So to say that he did not know what the mans beliefs were would be a bald face lie, Obama has never done anything that he didn’t check out first, So the key issue is does he think like this man, the answer to that would be yes, he has given large amount of money to this man, Obama is a faithful member of his church, so therefore Obama not only knew but approved of his sermons, so do we want this kind of man in the white house, One that can not own up to his own beliefs but is willing to lie, to get votes,

Obama CHOSE to support the vile, racist, anti-American Jeremiah Wright for nearly 25 YEARS and now pretends that he didn’t know about Wright’s views. BS! BS! BS!
Obama stayed with Wright because he agreed with his views. Why else would he stay? Anyone else would have walked out of that church decades ago.
Equally appalling was watching Obama’s fellow parishioners clap, cheer and cavort during Wright’s hateful sermons. These are the people Obama has CHOSEN to associate with for nearly A QUARTER CENTURY. Unbelievable.
This issue cuts to the core of Obama’s character and judgment. Obama has shown himself as not only unfit for the presidency, but for the U.S. Senate.
Obama is a racist con man. Nothing more.

Looks Like America is well bent on self destruction. Looks can be deceiving, let’s hope & pray people wake up befor it’s too late. McCain will continue Bushes failed policies. Congress won’t take Obama serious , he’ll just be “present”, & he has no substance. Just talk & a negative, deviding,racist faith. Hillary is the only one who is able to give the solutions & stop this nightmare.

For Obama to say that in 20 years he didn’t hear any of the racist comments that Rev. Wright made in his sermons is ridiculous. How could anyone that didn’t have racist views remain in a church when the pastor preaches the whites gave the HIV Virus to blacks to destroy the black race? Oh C’mon now, what does Obama really believe??

Obama said in an AP article published in 2004 that he attended services at Trinity United Church of Christ “every Sunday.” If he was telling the truth then, he certainly heard Jeremiah Wright’s comments in 2001 that America deserved the 9/11 attacks. So, which is it Sen. Obama? Did you rarely attend services at TUCC like you’ve been implying during your recent spate of damage control, or were you there every Sunday like you said previously? Either way, Obama is a liar and a hypocrite.

MIKE JK, regardless of what these Obama people on here think. I agree with you. I think the wife says a lot about the man and her comments DID originate from somewhere and most likely it’s this crazy church. That was what she was talking about. This church he attends is a big problem for me. I would have left the first time I heard a sermon like that, not embraced the place and invited the pastor over to bless the Rezko house. And God Forbid defens the place and refuse to leave.

I would have loved to see all Clinton and Edwards delegates switch to Obama.

Marty A, color has nothing to do with this. I’m white & support Hillary. If someone tells you a lot of lies, that’s no solution. I also have black friends that are hard working.

“Jason: Equally appalling was watching Obama’s fellow parishioners clap, cheer and cavort during Wright’s hateful sermons. These are the people Obama has CHOSEN to associate with for nearly A QUARTER CENTURY. Unbelievable.”
Dead on. Wright wasn’t just some passing acquaintance. Obama dedicated YEARS and thousands of dollars to this Pastor, this congregation. Unbelievable is right.

James Greer:
So it will be Michelle Obama who is actully calling the shots? It does work that way in some families. THAT’s even scarier than just plain Obama, that crazy wife as Frist Lady and co-president. She’s probably the reason he’s not leaving that church, she’s really the one behind all this radical stuff. I get it. The wife runs the show, unh huh. Makes sense to me and I’m trembling thinking of four to eight years of that.

Obama has disclosed his Rezko affiliations (including home purchase papers), earmark requests and tax returns. Obama immediately cleared his political affiliation from views expressed by friend and supporter Minister Wright.
Clinton has yet to release her full tax returns and earmark requests from her time in the Senate, as well as her White House records and Clinton library donors. Clintons apology to the black community for a friend and supporters racist comments came days after the fact. Clinton has also declined to return $170,000 in campaign contributions from individuals at the Illinois management consulting firm, International Profit Associates, or IPA accused of widespread sexual harassment, and whose CEO is a disbarred lawyer with a criminal record, federal campaign records show. Lets not forget that Clinton’s campaign eventually returned some $850,000 to Hong Kong businessman Norman Hsu who was found to be a fugitive in a 15-year old theft case. He was indicted for fraud related to his campaign contributions in 2007.
Guilt by association award goes to? Hillary “slow reach” Clinton <>

From what I am understanding… those were automatic delegates… they did not necessarily choose Obama. Geez, the rules are ridiculous. Democratic party is really terrible.

Megan – I would never consider telling you how to vote; and if you “couldn;t care less” if McCain gets it, then we wouldn’t agree on much anyway. What I don’t understand is if you have been unfairly called unpatriotic, then why do you turn around and do the same to Obama? This nonsense about Obama some how hating America is getting out of hand. Sure, the guy has flaws, but that’s not one of them. And if I vote for him, it will definitely not be because of his skin color.

sorry for the typos folks. just trying to say a lot and type very fast.

America is the land of the free and not land of the filth. It will become one soon if Obama becomes the president. Ford would have been a better choice. But, the democrats had to pick the two faced Obama with a mentor who spews filth! So much for ’08

Sundance | It is on the world wide web, all you have to do is look,

Do you get the feeling the Clinton’s tax returns are like the Nixon tapes. She says she has released much of them over the years, but is holding back on the most recent for some reason. She is also holding back on the earmarks, the donations to Bill’s “library” and the schedule from when she was first lady. Do you think we will ever seen these and if we do, do you think she will take the deduction for white-out? Now that Obama is vetted and we have his earmarks, his campaign contributions and we know all about the pastor, isn’t it time to get CLinton’s stuff out before it is too late? I suspect there is something she is hiding? And by the way. What do we know about her pastor? And what about McCain’s pastor?
This stuff is only going negative if she is hiding something. Clinton says that Obama is negative for asking about the tax returns, so she ought to know. They must be negative. What has she done that she is hiding?

DMK: There was nothing to handle, all Obama did was denounce his words which he said he didn’t hear and give me a break. Wright is a hater of whites and Obama has been going to that church for 20 years? He has to hate whites also but doesn’t show it because he needs the votes. He hung around Resko and that Pastor too long because he is a liar just like them. Many white people are fooled by him but he doesn’t fool me. I am very wise to him. Clinto can throw rings around Obama when it comes to experience and knowledge. Like I stated most blacks will vote for a black candidate even if he spent time in jail. Hillary has won the big states that Obama could never capture and will not capture even if he won the nomination. McCain would wipe him out because Hillary’s voters would switch to make sure of that.

if you truly love your children, there is no way you will vote for mccain over either Senator Clinton, who will be the best President our children need, or senator obama….

That sucks!

Voter- You know there is a checks and balance system in the USA. Even if Barack Obama ends up being some undercover islamic radical, its not like he will have unlimited power to change America into some Islamic Terrorist Powerhouse or whatever you seem to be suggesting. Stop with the fear mongering!

Is the 2025 delegates target for one to be a Democratic nominee include delegates from Florida and Michigan? If they are included, why is the number not reduced proportionately since they wont be sitting at the convetion?

No religion teaches Hate! It is the people and their close mind that harbor racism, sexism and elitism. This country is built by all races and that is why we will show the world we can choose a person based on his education, leadership and character.

OBAMA 08! YES WE CAN!

Ever wonder why our country is in such deep doo-doo? Its because some segments of our society just don`t give a damn.. Consider the concern over Clintons tax returns.. Then consider the LACK of concern over Obamas affiliation with a church and pastor who`s primary theme is hatred. Hatred for whites and colors in between, except blacks.. His association with know criminal elements. Not knowing where all his campaign money is coming from… Shouldn`t we be as concerned about the Obama dark clouds as we are about the Clintons?? Obama is a good talker but as many people have pointed out, he says nothing.

Sam in Atlanta, I hope you are right. Bush signed so many, many executive orders. What is there to stop your candidate if he wins?? Zip, Nada, Nothing. Checks and Balances did not work with Bush. I agree America is still standing — how much of this she can take, I wonder? Fear mongering or not — these are valid fears and you cannot discount them!

Chris, Are you kidding me I am one of the troops (Nearly Twenty years) If you are thinking or caring for the troops dont do it for me. If a Racist wins in November (OBAMA) I will retire along with thousands of other Soldiers Hope your prepared to defend this country. Idiot

What is it that you critics of Obama are afraid of? Afraid that Obama will get in office and outsource your jobs to folks of color? Clinton and Bush already did that (Saudi Arabia and China and Latin America). Are you afraid he will ruin your economy as he helps make countries of color richer while putting America in debtor’s prison? Bush already did that (China and Saudia Arabia). Will Obama put you in economic slavery and take away all your rights as free citizens? Bush and the Republicans are well on the way to doing so in the Patriot Act, and they are real “patriots”. Funny, seems the one you fear that is trying to get past divisions and put this country back together, is far safer than those white men who realy failed you. Seems you should be casting the judgemental finger at those white men, not Obama. They are the ones who have really caused you true harm, not a black man trying to right wrongs who is a member of a black church that has a minister that no one yet can say is a liar. Use your heads people, not your reactionary hearts.

Catiger, accusations are usaully bsaeless or with out merit. Obama and what re represents is racist and that my friend is a fact.

To the statement that pastors say things that only GOD understands, “god dam america” isn’t something that my GOD understands, except that this pastor just sang his name in vain, to a country that I know that he also loves “GOD” not the Rev wrong, “GOD BLESS AMERICA” is in my NATION SONG; it’s printed on my country money, it’s a oth that I took when I join the service and the Rev wrong is no MARINE! He just tryed to be one and didn’t have enought swinging to make it!!
GOD BLESS AMERICA AND EX-POW Sen John McCain

Smearjay, a BO support spreads Hope, Change Love; read on
Hillary will stand by and point her finger at someone else, and say “I did not do it, they did”. She already know’s the majority of voters that support her are idiot’s anyway, and are stupid enough to fall for her new strategy.

Obama CHOOSES to support the vile, racist, anti-American Jeremiah Wright for nearly 25 YEARS and now pretends that he didn’t know about Wright’s views. BS! BS! BS!
Obama stayed with Wright because he agreed with his views. Anyone else would have walked out of that church decades ago.
Equally appalling was watching Obama’s fellow parishioners clap, cheer and cavort during Wright’s hateful sermons. These are the people Obama has CHOSEN to associate with for nearly A QUARTER CENTURY. Unbelievable.
This issue cuts to the core of Obama’s character and judgment. Obama has shown himself as not only unfit for the presidency, but for the U.S. Senate.
Obama is a racist con man. Nothing more.

If what you say about obama’s mother is true, then it should be her running for President and not her son. I am sure that she wouldn’t sit with her hands betweeh her legs and not say nothing while a pastor of 20 years told of words of hate to the very country that you just said that she work so hard for. It looks like that obama might have a family member like I have, and that is of love for my country no matter who is part of it. obama you need to go to your mothers church on the sundays that you missed on the Rev wrong
GOD BLESS AMERICA Sen John McCain and all that also was POWed and has served

New Rasmussen poll shows Obama’s unfavorable rating is up to 49 percent, only two points lower than Clinton. Obama is poison.

WHAT PART OF “IT’S ALL OVER FOR OBAMA” DON’T THESE CHILDREN UNDERSTAND? I CAN’T IMAGINE ANOTHER WHITE PERSON VOTING FOR A RACIST HYPOCRITE LIKE OBAMA. HE MIGHT AS WELL DROP OUT NOW AND SAVE HIS SENATE SEAT OR FACE IMPEACHMENT WHEN THEY FIND OUT HE WAS AT THOSE CHURCH MEETINGS WITH HIS IDOL WRIGHT.
OBAMA REMINDS ME OF CLINTON: I SMOKED, BUT DIDN’T INHALE LOL!!
I WAS IN CHURCH, BUT COVERED MY EARS LOL!!
MORONS!

Saint Obama of Hate is severely damaging the credibility of the Democratic party.

Jewish woman why are you making stuff up? He was accussed once. By a woman whose reputation far exceeded her accuser’s. The case fell through. This is the reason Obama does not sit well with many of us. He and his supporters are being cannibals on the Democrats. If you all don’t like the Democrats, why are you using our party to make your racist candidate President? The Democratic base wants Hillary not Obama. Normal white people who don’t feel they should have to pay for the past, are voting for Hillary or McCain. Latinos are voting for Hillary. Older generation people, many who were involved in the Civil Rights Movement are voting for Hillary. Obama, the so called candidate of Hope has managed to divide people based on HIS USE of HIS RACE. That type of thinking, never ends well.

Jewish Woman what are you saying? please get it clear Hillary is not Bill she was not the one that had sex with Lewsinsky. I doubt it if you were Hillary that you will not divorce Bill bu this woman kept her home . and by the way how did she know if Clinton would have told the truth about the scandal to her Bill might not have told her the truth either so stop blaming this woman Hilary for she might not have known. It is you that should wise up and not vote Obama who is more of an Arab that a true American. and this people have been dealing for years and even drove you from your land of Isreal . Think before you vote Obama . He is not just the best candididate for jews either .SAVE AMERICA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

today while listening to the news on the radio , they were talking about Obama and his pastor, and about the fact that now Obama in the polls can’t beat McCain, they were saying that he is steadily dropping in the polls, regardless of his 10 delegate wins, they said those people really had no choice on who to go to, so that is not much of win, but I did find it interesting that the man said if Obama does not figure out some way to stop this story that it will be the end of him, and that people should pay attention because he is not doing well under pressure, which is not a good sign of a leader,and they talked about the rezko thing, and how he messed up on that one also, two strikes, wonder what the third is, Only the news knows for now,

CMSgt Gary Preston | Do you also support Farrakhan? Al Sharpton, to support Obama is to support those also, and if you don’t believe me Look up farrakhan million man march, and read the pledge and his speech, and you will see when and where and why Obama is running for president, it is a eye opener for sure. Obama admits attending the march, He is even in one picture wearing the red band.

I am waiting for the third strike, wonder what it will be,the picture of Obama dress in the farrakhan suit, are the picture of him with Al, or maybe his other woman, or man what ever the case may be, Or maybe just maybe the video of him jumping up and down slapping wright on the shoulder during one of his G-damn america, Jesus is a poor black man sermons that he said he didn’t attend, {wait he didn’t say he did attend them he said he never heard them while sating in pew, behind the pastor is chairs}

The only thing left for Clinton to do is summerize exactly how her poorly run campaign cost her the nomination. That way she will have plenty of people to point fingers at and pass along the blame.

CTtransplant yes I agree with you regarding the postings of most people on this board. Ask a legit question regarding Hillary and her past and all you get in response is the Obama is an Arab who hates America nonsense. A perfect example is my question about Peter Paul. None of the Hillary lovers will touch that one. They will just pretend it’s not there and go on with their negative rants that have nothing to do with the election.

Hillary has much to hide. Not just Peter Paul, but she has taken from the Rezko group too. Look up Huffington Post and do a search on Clinton and Rezko. Unfortunately, she is the one in a “fairy tale” world.

Thank you, Iowa! You had the most one-on-one time with all of candidates. I trust your judgement!

congratulations obama on gaining the additional delegates this weekend keep up the good work
OBAMA 08

HE HAD MY VOTE IN THE PRIMARY, BUT THAT WAS THEN, AND NOW WE KNOW HOW HE AND HIS WIFE REALLY THINK OF THIS COUNTRY- IT WON’T HAPPEN AGAIN!

NOTE TO DEMS: Clinton can not win. At this point she is only undermining our nominee and alienating herself, and her supporters, from people like me.

I’ve been reading the blogs and it’s alarming to see the racial undertones that have strated to take over. I really wish that we could stay on point withthe blogs and stick to the issues at hand. As a black american I completely disagree with the words of the pastor as do many black americans so it’s very distressing to see how many people were so willing to believe that his words represented black americans general views. I guess if youcarry hate in your heart you want to believe that the rest of us do to. I want to cast my vote based on the issues (economics, the war, healthcare and reuniting the U.S. with foreign diplomats and policies) not Race. I want a candidate who can handle that–let’s keep perspective and not fall into the hate mongering.

BUSH, CLINTON AND MCCAIN SUPPORTERS WILL WAKE UP WHEN OUR SOLDIERS START FIGHTING THE STOP-LOSS ORDERS, AND THEY IMPLEMENT A DRAFT AND OUR KIDS HAVE TO FIGHT THIS HORRIFIC 100 YEAR WAR!

greetings’
It is such a truism that 85% of the electorate are “MENTAL LEMMINGS” “OF
ALL COLORS …ALL PARTIES’”
the talking empty heads of the media are like the company that is called by the name of “WASTE MANAGEMENT’”…..
WHERE ARE THE REAL JOURNALISTS ???
these chuckle heads pursue frothy questions until they receive the “answers” they like and want…
Eric Hoffer ..the everyman philosopher of years back…wrote a book I recall about the TRUE BELIEVER [S]….and today I see them everywhere…..the true believers are the fanatics among us….those who cannot formulate original thoughts or understand the world they inhabit….but follow ..lemming like ..those who are the thinkers among us…..this holds for religion …politics…or money markets..
an example….rush Limbaugh is an american original….and there are fanatics that try to emulate him …a pungent example is Hannity… the TRUE BELIVER….and the follower….he is the
equivalent of the muslims who are the true belivers and fanatic terrorists..
…more to follow…

I am not an American but rather a Canadian and I feel the world is holding its breath and waiting for a definitive change in the US. Bush has done so much damage to both the world and the US that only someone like Barack Obama can make a difference. But alas, it seems in the US he is constantly trying to prove he is worthy. First its never mentioned that he is half white but he is only considered black. Second his religious beliefs were questioned but cannot be any longer because his Minister is not muslim, so attention is diverted to his Minister’s beliefs. Get where I am going with this…it is an endless cycle. I sincerely hope that Mr. Obama has the fortitude that we see, to overcome these attacks. Good Luck!

Wait a minute. Here we go again, it seems that everyone is saying that Obama’s pastor hates America, well the last time I checked America is NOT just composed of white people but people of all races, creeds and colors! Therefore, if he hates America he hates blacks as well because I know that I am black and that I am an American! Let’s get past the 50′s and 60′s and get to the progress that we need to deal with to fill our basic needs as a people and Americans all of us, no matter what color our skin is! Come on people don’t be blinded by the same old propaganda that has always been used in the past, this is what we are trying to get away from. Vote for whom you want but do not vote because they are black, a woman or a white male. Vote because you truly believe that they can make a difference not only for you but for ALL Americans and the World! In my heart I truly believe that Obama can get us on the right track. Maybe just maybe his preacher did him a favor by getting this all out in the open so it could be addressed! Any prejudice is an injustice to all of us! Let’s stop it now!

I Haven’t seen a presidential canidate with as much chrisma & charactor as Barrack Obama since The Kennedys in the 60′s. All this CRAP about his Minister just shows how desperate his opponents are.Why didn’t John McCains accepting the endorement of John Hagee make as many headlines? I not Cathlic and I’m outraged by his comments!How can this Country survive another 4 years of bush policies? GO OBAMA
