Obama on Clinton: ‘I Don’t Know Where All that Experience Got Her’

Perfect example of his arrogance and superior attitude. Mr. Obama , you peaked too soon. People are waking us and realizing you’re just not ready. Hopefully Hillary will ask you to be her VP, so you will have a great future after learning the ropes.

By the same token, I don’t know where all that hope got Obama. He hopes he wins I guess, but he has a surprise coming. These youngsters always start with the chicken dancin’ as soon as they feel they may win. We’ll see where all this chicken dancin’ gets Mr. Obama.

How come everyone is saying that Sen Clinton should get out now in order not to divide the party but no one says that about Huckabee who has no chance of catching up to McCain, it seems like there is a double standard for women. The general election is not until November, a lot can happen between now and then. Women are getting tired of people teling them that a women who is smart and experience should bow down to make a man happy who’s less qualified. In this country men get paid more than women for the same job, it is an insult to women to tell Sen Clinton to back down before June. If Sen Obama can’t handle the heat than maybe he should get out the kitchen.

zoe – you are missing a lot because you are allowing campaign rhetoric to influence you on that issue. The vote was to authorize force in support of the UN Inspectors if and only if WMDs were found. The WH lied and said they would not use the authority for a pre-emptive war. It is inappropriate for the Obama camp to mislead voters into thinking he authorized war because that is not what was voted on. He stated in 2003-2004 timeframe that he did not have the information to review (because he was not cleared for it) and did not know how he would have voted has he been given the responsibility to do so. She has stated she would take that vote back after the truth came out about how the WH lied. This is the same as Edwards and many others who voted to authorize military support for the UN Inspectors and to support the WH if and only if WMD’s were found. Obama’s own endorsers were among the many who voted the same way Clinton did. I still trust her judgement more than his because he has not convinced me he can do anything more than give speeches. Senator Clinton gives great speeches in my opinion too… the difference is, she has proven to me what she can and has done. He needs more time to develop the experience and good judgement “under fire”.

Oh give me a break Obama!! Since joining Foreign Relations, Obama has missed three meetings on a “new strategy” in Afghanistan, a country he has never visited.
Obama was absent from a January 31 meeting this year, and also was not present for a hearing on Sept. 21, 2006. He did attend a March 8, 2007 hearing on a new Afghanistan strategy.
On Feb. 15, 2007, Obama also missed a committee hearing on U.S. ambassadors to Iraq and Afghanistan.
Now all of a sudden he knows exactly what to do or not do about all the issue in Iraq and Afghanistan. Right!!!!

Looks like Obama is going negative and very dismissive of an opponent. Can tell from his body language.

I think Obama is talking like the race is over because he does not want everyone to see how he is not a uniter. The core party voters still support Clinton while his supporters are the rich left wing side of the party plus the new voters and disgruntled Reps and Indies. Let’s see… if we do the math based on voter turnouts (I have done the math using numbers published at GMU) it appears the country is still split between the Dem and Rep parties meaning the Indies are split and the Dem party is split between Obama and Clinton. Hmm… he has failed to be a uniter just as Bush failed. It takes more than just great speeches to unite people. I give him credit for admitting that he does not know how he would have voted “under fire” but I do not give him credit for misleading people into thinking he will know because he has failed to do the job he was elected to do and has not voted differently than Clinton on any war related issue since becoming a Senator. Michelle Wie was a phenom golfer but when she had to perform “under fire” she wimped out. She needed more time to develop good judgement “under fire” and so does Obama. Who do you trust to keep you safe… your mother who has been keeping you safe or your brother who steps up arrogantly and says he can do it better?

Its funny how Obama is held to an entirely different standard than all the other candidates….are you holding hillary’s feet to the fire for missing anything (how about voting) while she campaigns for president, or is it just Obama that isn’t supposed to miss anything?
Oh, and how about those tax returns? The only response hillary gives to that is, ‘let’s talk about Rezko’….yeah, that’s equivalent.
There is nothing there when it comes to Rezko, but I’m sure there will be something created. It has to be.
People are not ‘waking up’ to Obama, it just so happens that most of the people that don’t want him in office still have yet to vote. No one cares that he won 11 states and the majority of the people in those states are saying ‘it’s time to turn the page’….the ones who still have yet to vote are going to make sure he does not win this election.
Ohio and Texas want bill and hillary back in the white house…so let the drama begin.

oh, and by the way SJ way to distort and accuse Obama of being divisive. I can tell you have been watching hillary very closely.

If Hilary has so much experience in dealing with issues in Washington. Why is our country in the crisis it’s in? Why has her campaign made so many bad decision and squandered many of her donors hard earn dollars. why want Hilary release her tax returns? Let’s remember the Bill and Hilary Clinton Experience when they were in the white house. During the Clinton Presidency years I remember experiencing their numerous scandals, Lies, deception, that brought shame to this Great Nation. Do we want to experience this again? Just Think About It.

Hillary does not and will not need Obama for the Election. She will go for Edwards. I can bet on this and never being able to see Michelle Obama(America-hater) being patriotic very confidently.
Hillary-Edwards ’08

Paul – good to see you. Comparing the voting records it is clear that since becoming a US Senator, Obama voted the same as Clinton on most national security issues. So I dont think he will be able to draw much contrast there at all. In fact, if he could I think he would have already done it since he was challenged to do so by Clinton. You already know my preference of candidates.
While I dont think much will change for anyone’s preferences, it is evident the numbers are close enough that it could go either way. I think the party and the country has the right to know who the preferred candidate is after all the states have participated not just those up until next Wednesday.
It is absolutely wrong IMHO for Axelrod and Richardson and others to tell Clinton to step out of the race period. I think it is very cowardly of Obama to not be willing to finish the race as is.
Think about it: if one of them steps down, that will not unite the party anymore than they are now. If they both go the distance, the loser can endorse the winner and attempt to unite the party. I think voters would be more accepting of a fair race instead of arguing about who “could have or would have won” and never knowing the real outcome.

DC Voter – I didn’t reference voting records. She’s made some statements that illustrate her ignorance – despite the ’35 years of experience.’
With regard to voting for emergency spending bills to support the military efforts, what you say is true. And if the Democrats as a whole hadn’t financially supported the troops in a combat theater, the political winds right now would be behind the Republicans instead of the Democrats. It was what they had to do.

Where’d all that experience get her?
Well for starters she got to see the inside of the White House for 8 years, which is 8 more than you and your spouse will ever see.
Secondly, it got her New York, California, Massachusetts, Michigan, Florida (where you ran ads all day long and still got your a$$ kicked), New Jersey, and probably is going to get her Ohio.
If you can’t win big democratic states in a primary you damn sure aren’t going to win the country. Winning Idaho, Alaska, Utah, North Dakota, Nebraska, and Iowa don’t mean a thing, cause in November Obama you don’t have a hope or one of your ‘I pray to Jesus every night – after my sermon in that Farrakhan loving church’ prayers.
You have lied about everything from Selma convincing your parents to get together and have you (you were born 4 years before Selma), to the fact that you were NOT a constituional lawyer, but rather a somewhat pathetic senior lecturer ON LEAVE. And as for Dad, he was no more a goat herder then Hillary. He was a well paid Goverment employee. And as for that Ethics Bill you wrote? You didn’t write a line of it. And as for that Nuclear Bill to help out your campaign donor, Exelon? Even your own party threw it right back into your face.
This fraud will never be president. Not because of race or religion, but because his resume is an invention and his history is fantasy. He is the James Frey of politics – A Million Tiny Lies.
Oprah should have a show on The Audacity Of Hope. She can retitle it ‘The Audacity To Lie’.

Plenty of Washington insiders have Experience. What we need is someone who as a better persepctive, and the courage to put it on the table. I’m sick of the same old same old. I want someone with energy and vision and well as a sincerity.
BARACK OBAMA

Jay – LOL actually I think most of his supporters dont remember those years because they were too young. They are also too young to remember any movements relating to civil rights, womens rights, and human rights. They are too young to have experienced first hand discrimination, beatings, and inhumane treatment. They live in a country that has a great deal more equality today (even though much more progress is needed that I can personally attest to) because of the sacrifices made by people over the age of 45. Even if our education system were up to par (which it is not) and taught them the real truth about these things, having not experienced it they cannot know the depth of sacrifice and fight that Senator Clinton and people like her have endured. He was right about one thing… the community still today has not embraced the visions of Dr. King and his own wife is not embracing it in his campaign.

Someone wrote all of the scandals were invistagated? If Hilary is Prsident Expect More Scandals deceptions,and 4 years of Investigations, and who will lose we the American People. Why would anyone Want a Rerun of Bill and Hilary Clinton?

Sorry Rhys, your wordy and long document is trying to say that campaigning for the presidency and being the President are one in the same. They are not.
There is a huge distinction in how anyone would operate running for a job, and then being hired for that job.

It’s nice to see all the neocons backing Hilliary and “threatening” to vote for McCain if she doesn’t get to be the nominee. I never knew loyality to the war and the neocon establishment was so prevalent among so-called “Democratic” voters. I guess this evidence proves once and for all that a vote for Hilliary really is a vote for BUSH. Don’t blame Obama voters for voting for a Democrat in the Democrat party. If your such a Republican, I’m sure that McCain will suit you just fine. Forgive us if we choose an alternative to neo-con John with Obama. But don’t worry John will still be there for you in November, satisfied???

I am still waiting on someone to tell me what her great amount of experience is? Is it the 80 countries she visited on the tax payers dime? If so then people need to recall back in..I think 96 when she got in trouble for taking “vacations” in other countries where she also used tax payers money to take her friends along…big difference in experience and what she was doing.

Typical Obama spin. He is supported by a ton of people who supported the resolution and also had kind words for people who voted for it who have yet to or are not supporting him (ie Edwards) but he seems to state that if you voted for the war resolution you do not have the right experience or judgement to be President. Why did not he say this about John Kerry in 2004?

After all is said and done and after all the latest desperate bla bla bla of all you Clinton supporters, the bottom line is(as you all know)that Obama will win this thing folks!
He already got the momentum on his side and you don´t need to be a brain surgent to realise how America is yearning for real change today.
Go Obama-the JFK incarnation!

Billa,
YOu think Obama will win? You are in for a big surprise! The Clintons are FIGHTERS! And we want the next president to be a fighter, not some puny boy!

I looked at Hussein Obama’s face, he is so arrogant. Just same as Bush!!!

Simple question: Besides being the wife of Bill, what qualifies Hilary so much more than Obama? Just wondering…
(I will remember that Laura Bush has enough experiences to run the country just because I say so)

Poor Obama; he really has done *nothing* but a single speech in 2002….
He has NO military ssupport; noone has any respect in the military for him as a commander in chief or a leader…
Sen. Clinton has received in the last few days the endorsements and teh outspoken support and trust of all the TOP military brass, including that
Gen. Hugh Shelton and Antonio Taguba(among many many others) as the most qualified person to LEAD
and be COMMANDER IN CHIEF !!
This fact of exceeding importance to the people of this country has of course not been reported TODAY by the MSM.
Obama has no judgment whatsover: Rezko, Rezko Rezko…
Obama has no leadership skills whatsoever. In fact he should be impeached for dereliction of duty as a US Senator for failing to do his *job* as chairman of the powerful Foreign Relation Subcommitee on Europe that oversees NATO and among other his mission in Afghanistan.. He didn’t convene a single meeting. No IDEAS, NO Initiatives, Nothing…
He did not pay attention to one of the most important a US SEnator can be entrusted with.
Why would he behave any different as President?
Why would anyone entrust him with the highest job of the land?
He is even ashamed of his middle name…
What a character!!
NO OBAMA.

Obama is done. the campaign will go on past Tuesday. Why: because $35 million will turn into $60 in March, the country will continue to get tired of his song and dance and will go back to Britney.
REZKO will sing and implicate him, and we’ll all feel better because somehow we ended up with the right choice for president.
HILLARY 08,12

Here are facts on why not for Hill:
a) 35 years experience – biggest Fairy
Tale, no plan B after Super Tuesday
with a bankrupt campaign that
resulted in a draw. She has gall to
insult Gen. Petraeus on the surge
with her “suspension in disbelief”
after outsourcing responsibility of
National Intelligence Estimate to
other people before voting for Iraq
war. She has no compunction to lie
nor admit personal mistakes as if
she is our Queen to look down on
others.
b) Media Bias – the Clintons are
actually suffering from Media
Adulation Deficit Disorder – MADD,
another term is pea-green envy.
Habitual SHOW-OFF as in last debate
on Medvedev where she jumps in to
answer for the undirected question
but has the gall to complain why
always asking her the first question !
c) Hard Work – Claims she works hard,
yet produced nothing much of
national significance in Senate as
more of her efforts are worthy of
Tammany Hall patronage for local
politicians. However, Hill’s face is
always on national media as she
always managed to position herself
in front of cameras. Compare that to
Barack’s bill of bipartisan bills
safeguarding nuclear materials and
ethics reform for Congress. In
other words, she always appear busy,
but busy doing nothing ! If she is
really that good in bipartisanship,
why can’t she produced a Universal
Healthcare bill in over six years
she was in the Senate ?
d) Ready – as the Enabler-In-Chief but
not as Commander-In-Chief if we
include her part of “35 years
experience” in Blackhawk Down, wag
the dog episode after USS Cole and
Monicagate. Where was she when all
these happened and it they didn’t
even happen at 3:00 AM !
e) Universal Healthcare – mandate is
enforced by Wage Garnishment despite
denial now, as shown on ABC network
by admitting to a “mechanism” that
will be (forced employees to enroll)
applied on wages. She did not deny
it when Garnishment was used then,
but now denies it.
f) Smart – just a mediocre law graduate
who flunk the Bar Exam, then bragged
about knowing Bhutto family story by
incorrectly saying father was also
assassinated. Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto
was hanged by the military regime
that overthrew him.
g) Vetted – refused to release Tax
Returns unless she is the nominee !
She must have something to hide for,
so protective of her secret source
of wealth, when they are personally
bankrupt after leaving public
housing (WH). Won’t release her WH
papers, passing blame for delay to
Bush, who denied her charges, thus
proving as habitual liar.
h) Doer – spectacular flop of
Hillarycare is the showcase of her
doing. She produces less Senate
output and of mediocre quality than
Barack’s first 2 years alone !
i) Talker – Failed to keep her own
promise to wage a national campaign
as she skips a lot of states by
reason of a bankrupt campaign and
resulting in her failing campaign.
j) Fighter – code word for divisiveness
hiding under the cover of waging
campaign against special interest
while hidden hands accept campaign
contributions. Accumulated biggest
campaign funds last year but still
managed to overspend her campaign
into bankruptcy. Very good at
parsing words and moving goal post
for accepting defeat.
k) Result – trailing campaign after
almost a year-long lead among all
candidates. Squandered all her
advantages and even her biggest
lobbyists can help her with her
campaign fund raising now !
l) Focus management – all talk and
never knows how to do it, producing
debacles after debacles and with
scandals. Hsu campaign fund raiser,
Hillarycare, Hill Force One to cover
Iowa campaign for a 3rd place
finish, bankrupt campaign resorted
to personal loan to survive, no
contingency plan for campaign beyond
Super Tuesday.

Please Hillary keep going to the end. Starting Monday with the Rezko trial and all the articles being written in the Chicago newspapers, all obama’s shady characters are coming to light. It was written today in the Chicago Suntimes that the GOP is already investigating Obama’s shady acquaintances and asking lots of questions.
Mr. McCain is going to have a field day with Obama.
In fact, I think Obama will be done once this trial comes to an end.

He better pray for a miracle, because Mr. Obama is going down once the GOP gets ahold of him and his shady acquaintances.

Chavez just sent troops to the border with Colombia. I like to knwo what Obama woulld do about that versus Hillary. This will come up. Here is what I think will happen:
Hillary will answer, then Obama will say: whatever she says. hehe

It was Hillary Clinton who passed the bill in congress to get the armour for our troops in Iraq. That is a known fact. Where was Mr. Obama when Hillary was doing all she could to keep our troops safe. Oh! How stupid of me…He was negotiating a $2,000,000.00 house deal, and a $625,000.00 adjacent lot deal for his and MIchelle’s residence per his good buddy…Rezko!!!!!

It’s simply dishonest to try to spin Hillary’s vote to authorize the war. Most of us remember the millions of people across the world who demonstrated against this war. When you cast such a historical vote, without even reading the NIE report, is criminal.

First of all…some of you really need to do research and get your facts. straight. I remember 2002-2003 very clearly..and the government had no clear evidence for invading Iraq. I was against it from the start. Even France was against it..remember when everybody hated France because they refused to be an ally in a “dumb” war?? Mrs. Clinton was not making a career risking decision..actually she did what was POLITICALLY POPULAR.Obama on the other hand went against the word of his advisers and while running for re-election to the state senate…spoke out courageously against the war. He could have ended his career right there..but he stated that if he can’t stand for what he believes in he doesn’t care about his career.

On 60 Minutes a little while ago Clinton would barely say that she knows that Obama isn’t a Muslim. Then she turned it around to herself saying she’s the victim of rumors too. That woman is unbelieveable. It was her campaign workers that started the false email and it somehow gets sent out right before a primary in a state. Hillary Clinton makes me sick because she is so unethical.

I have been to Hillary’s and Obama’s campaign speech. Obama puts on a great show, lots of words, glitter, but no feeling. I believe some parts were from a Bush speech. Hillary’s speech was more specific, discussed solutions, seemed to care. She talked to some of us after the speech, she is real. Hillary made me feel comfortable about her being president. There are too many serious problems with Obama, as of late. I firmly believe Hillary is the right person for the job.

The 2002 Iraq War vote is to Obama what 911 was to Rudy Guiliani’s candidacy. Even when Obama’s protesting Clinton’s characterization that his entire foreign policy revolves around that one vote, he goes right on to prove her point – complaining again about her 2002 vote. Yesterday he described the 3 a.m. red phone ad on the stump as both a “legitimate question to ask” and fearmongering. Two diametrically opposed claims in one sentence.
Here’s another example of a contradiciton no one in the emperor’s clothes press corps never bothers to ask about. He says on the one hand that he’s going to fix a broken government and bring “change”. Yet many of his fundraisers and strategists are from the Bush Administration. (Time published an article about this in November called “Obama’s Red State Appeal”. ) His speechwriter Ben Rhodes is the brother of Fox VP David Rhodes. (Fox is the Rupert Murdoch network associated with theG.O.P. and also featured in Fahrenheit 911 for its role in calling Florida for Bush in the 2000 election.)
There is also Obama’s familiar refrain that he couldn’t wait longer than a year in the senate before running for president because he would have had all his hope “boiled and stewed” out of him by members of Congress. These “Washington insiders”, he said, are “more interested in the next election than the generation”. After insulting these legislators repeatedly in cities across America for the last three months, how is he expecting to bring them together to pass his proposals for health care, college tax credits, etc?
Everything about this candidate makes you feel as though you’d just walked through the looking glass into another world. In this dreamy wonderland, experience and a record of accomplishment are not considered pros but cons. They’re cons, alright, and it may be that people realize too late that they’re being played for fools again – or rather Pavlov’s dogs – just like the “weapons of mass destruction” campaign.
The neoconservaties infiltrated the AARP before the Medicare vote, and they’re infiltrating the Democratic Party through the primaries now, using the perfect disguise. Next time you feel all that Hillary hatred welling up inside you, ask yourself, where exactly did that all intense emotion come from?

First off, Senator Clinton does “not run around.” Is this similar to “she periodically needs a boost” or “she pulls claws out.”
At some point, people will wake up to this arrogant individual.
Once again, Obama is lying and obscruring Clinton’s vote. She clearly said in her 2002 speech, she was for unlimited inspections, not for preemptive war.
But you’ll go around lying — and lying and lying and distorting. Spinning, much like Bush.
The American people are FED UP with this kind of “old politics.”
You do NOT represent any new politics and this Independent voter will actively campaign against you and never give you a dime.

Imagine an undertaking as significant to the nation as war, which will cost thousands of lives, limbs, mental health and hundreds of billions of dollars; and the ‘experienced’ Hilary Clinton does even take time to read the so-called intelligence report and and agonize over her authorization to go to war?
Even worse, this person is supposed to be a mother who produced life? Wow!
The IMPULSIVE Bush in his power-drunken state just up and decided to use the US military as his private army to wage an UNPROVOKED war.
And Hilary Clinton IMPULSIVELY went along; and now has the audacity to deceive Americans that she could be commander-in-chief of 300 million?
Incompetent Hilary Clinton can’t run an efficient and effective national campaign. To be sure, Hilary Clinton can’t even run an efficient family and TAKE CARE OF ONE MAN. How on gad’s green earth would ANY American be so daft as to believe that Hilary Clinton could take care of a nation of many millions of men, and women?

I do not expect to see Obama win in PA Most of the people don’t drink latte. They are hard working they like beer and lots of it they also are still able to wear t-shirts that say how they are feeling thier is no other state like its a free state they also like thier guns and Obama does not I don’t live in Pa anymore I had to find work after Clinton left office but when I go home nothing has change and thats the way I like it .

And what kind of foreign policy experience does she have? She was only First Lady for cryin out loud. She had tea and cookies with the other first ladies – what kind of “experience” is that?

The problem with Hillary is that she’s bought and paid for by the New-York crowd. Her allegiance will always be to them and their interests. Where as Obama’s will be to us the average American. No one will dictate to him how he should lead this country’s foreign policy.

Rick Benton,
What a stupid argument! Following your logic, Obama’s allegiance would be to the people in Illinois!

After reading all of the nasty attacks on both Clinton and Obama, there is only one thing to do–vote McCain!

If Hillary had courage and conviction she would have run in 04…she just stayed in the background and voted with MCCain…Now in 08 thinking she was a shoo in….she got run over by someone with the dignity, conviction and courage to run…people see through the fake, dirty campaign and she will be looking for more excuses on Wednesday after she LOSES…Democrats do not want Hillary Clinton… when will it sink in..

From USA Today: “There are so many presidents with a great deal of experience who failed miserably,” Dallek says. “Think first of all of James Buchanan, 1857 to 1861, from the run-up to the Civil War — so experienced that they called him ‘Mr. Government’ — and now invariably listed as one of the worst presidents in the country’s history.”
Buchanan had been a member of the House and Senate, secretary of State and minister to Great Britain. As president, however, he did little to respond when Southern states began to secede from the Union.
Buchanan’s successor was Abraham Lincoln, a prairie lawyer who served eight years in the Illinois Legislature and one term in the U.S. House. “He had next to no experience at all,” Dallek says, “and now is seen as probably the greatest president in the country’s history.”

Just look at the voting records in congress friends. Hillary won the two categories. 1. Who voted for the people’s best interest?= Hillary over Bama
2. Who was most consitent in their voting record? Yes you guessed it. Hillary.
People please wake up before its too late. Hillary has fought time and time again for you the people. She is battle tested, will not negioate with foes of the U.S. until they demonstrate responsibility with their own people. Then through diplomacy she will be begin a dialog. That jr.varsity canidate Bama wants to embrace everyone, anytime, and everything will be hunky dori. Hillary for President. A canidate who will stand up against terrorists, not embrace them…

Let one thing be clear..once Obama disposes Clinton…McCain is easy..defending a failed Iraq…inflation…payday advance “Stimulus Checks” and tax breaks for the most wealthy…run away healhcare costs,…..Mclame take your Geritol…
Clinton is just a pesty distraction…
she will be taken off life support on TUESDAY…

Hey Playlist maybe Hillary wanted some experience under her belt from now to 04. Did you ever think of that, or are you to shallow like Bama supportors have shown in all he does on his T.V. ads is defend himself. The real bottom line here is he only can stand on one solid decision, “I opposed the war.” Outside of that what else has he achieved? Please change to republican so you can have a narrow minded politcal party. Believe me experience does count for something.

Hillary will not be a pushover. Thats how stupid the republicans mindset is. They fear her because she will beat him hands down. Heck, if Al Gore beat Bush by popular vote, but lost on electoral, Hillary will certainly smash McCain..I think she holds the best credentials and another businessman is voting for Hillary Clinton.

Any person with a grain of technical would have known that there would be no weapons of mass destruction in Iraq! Why? Because the inspectors had extremely sensitive detection instruments that could detect traces of Nuclear, Chemical or Biological materials in quantities of one part in a billion! WMDs aren’t easily moved and if moved, minute traces are left behind. The USA and others provided inspectors with locations/labs of expected WMD sites. Nothing was found by the inspectors. Then Bush ordered the inspectors out and invaded Iraq. Clinton and others who voted for this foolish war in Iraq GOT IT TOTALLY WRONG! Now we have had 3,973 brave military killed in Iraq, about 30,000 wounded, spent so far about $700 Billion and the total cost of this war is estimated by experts to cost the USA over 3 Trillion dollars, all borrowed, including actual outlays, rebuilding the military, adding at least $10 per barrell on oil prices, long term care of the wounded, interest on the borrowed funding for the war, etc. McCain offers 4 mory year’s of Bush. If you LIKE BUSH, you will LOVE McCAIN! AND Sen Clinton would return memories to the days of WHITEWATER, MONICA, TRAVELGATE,etc.

Experience counts for something when you make the right decisions…choosing to side with Bush/Cheney on one critical decision after another…George Bush had a lot of experience too…where did that get us??
Barack Obama is the best argument and candidate against the status quo unless you like the status quo…

Hillary Clinton is losing..and will lose miserably on Tuesday…her name is not even mentionable as competition to McCain…

Obama isn’t pro Islamic, he’s pro american…that doesn’t just mean white,black or any other ethnicity group….He won’t be weak on the middle east…but he won’t narrow his focus to just war…he appears to be the only candidate that recognizes that the U.S. isn’t the only nation in this world and that even in undemocratic nations…relations have a chance for improvement with out the threat of war.
He will not engage in relations that hurt america but will have the courage to meet with leaders that most others won’t….If someone doesn’t offer to speak to these leaders directly how can we expect them to justify engaging in any actions we want them to partake in?

Dr. Paul thank you for pointing out the Bush administrations biggest blunder to date. With the inspectors showing no traces of WMD’s would you think bush who you love and mccain who you love would have considered that train of logic? That’s right, they did not. Bush and corrupt cheney have had their own agenda to decieve the American public for the sake of their oil rich pockets. However, I am glad Bush chased down those extremists and found bin laden too. It is time to wake up and smell the coffee. Oil in the middle east will soon be at 150 per barrel and were still there pouring billions into Iraq. Folks if you want change for the people in our country to get stable again, choose Hillary Clinton. She has an exit strategy that will not leave the people over there high and dry. We will start to invest in our own country not Iraq which mccain and lil bush keep wanting to do. Another business man for Hillary Clinton.

With all this negativity instigated by Sen. Clinton it is going to cost the Democrats the White House in November. She wants to win by any means necessary even if it fractures the Party. I really thought that she had more integrity and character than the way she has decided to run this campaign. She is fighting Obama like she is fighting the “right-wing republicans”. I voted for her in the February 5th contest and I have since watched her degrade her character and legacy. It is just disappointing! I don’t mind a good debate, but the negative turn she has taken has started to make my stomach turn. Playing this victim role is very embarassing for all of us who hold the feminist rules of law in high esteem.

Why has the vast majority of the U S military endorsed Hillary? I honor and respect the U S military.

Let’s just wait til Tuesday and see how it all plays out. All of you out there are writing longer and longer posts, they’ve become mini term papers in some instances. Obamasites are looking to God to Bless Obama but there are a lot of prayers out there for Senator Clinton. AND for those clairvoyants out there so sure, so certain, that it’s a done deal, just wait until the REZKO slime starts to boil. Oh and the trial starts TOMORROW, the day before Tuesday. Sometimes anger is a good thing lady, whatever it takes to get motivated, I’ll take anger any day over I’m so cool and I have the right answers for everything. THAT I don’t trust. If it looks to smooth and sounds too smooth, it’s a con job! OH YEAH!

Does anyone want Bill Clinton running around the White House with nothing to do? I don’t think so.

Obama is just telling the truth. Hillary thinks people are stupid and just wants to get credit for being married to a former president. I think anyone who argues on her behalf that she has so much experience is just jaded. She won’t even let the white house release her dossier of what she did as the first lady! Nor will she release her tax returns! She’s a fraud, and anyone with half a brain can see that. At least Barack doesn’t pretend to be something he isn’t . It’s called SINCERITY!! Hillary lacks that completely.
Obama/Edwards 08′!
My dream team!!!!

Enough with the divisive politics. Hillary even managed to divide the democrats! I bet she could part the red sea! LOL
I can care less about anything she has done nor any of her proposed policies. This woman even pushed her husband to have relations with the likes of Monica Lewinsky, and her husband is a straight up liar, remember his famous “I did not have relations with that woman” line!! The Clintons are a joke and are world class liars. Not to mention EGO trippers. 2 runs in the white house just wasn’t enough. Shame on you CLINTONS!
OBAMA/EDWARDS 08′!!!!

Hmm… $1 trillion down the drain. 4,000 troop lives lost. To let Bin Laden get a way and make Iran stronger. That’s what “experience” from Bush, Clinton, and McCain got us.

Imagine an undertaking as significant to the nation as war, which will cost thousands of lives, limbs, mental health and hundreds of billions of dollars; and the ‘experienced’ Hilary Clinton does even take time to read the so-called intelligence report and and agonize over her authorization to go to war?
Even worse, this person is supposed to be a mother who produced life? Wow!
The IMPULSIVE Bush in his power-drunken state just up and decided to use the US military as his private army to wage an UNPROVOKED war.
And Hilary Clinton IMPULSIVELY went along; and now has the audacity to deceive Americans that she could be commander-in-chief of 300 million?
Incompetent Hilary Clinton can’t run an efficient and effective national campaign. To be sure, Hilary Clinton can’t even run an efficient family and TAKE CARE OF ONE MAN. How on gad’s green earth would ANY American be so daft as to believe that Hilary Clinton could take care of a nation of many millions of men, and women?

Here is one for you Barack Obama. Let’s settle this Iraw business ONCE and FOR ALL. You are shamelessly preaching a lie. You are telling the nation and your audiences as if it was Hillary Clinton who AUTHORIZED the Iraq war all by her little self. She had the same CIA information that Jay Rockefeller, the Chairman of the Senate Intelligence Committe had and THAT IS that Iraq had nuclear weapons and biological weapons and could strike the USA at any time.THE CHOICE: Vote “Yes” to protect the country and its people (for your information and that of Mr. Axelrod: deadly biological weapons can wipe out entire populations which apparently you and your pretend not to know) or vote “NO” and take upon yourself and YOUR CONSCIENCE the destruction of your country and your people. SHE MADE THE RIGHT DECISION, you know-it-all. Now comes the scenario for you, Mr. Obama, since you were nowhere near any decision making process in that matter and coult NOT VOTE against or for anything with respect to the Iraq war. INSTEAD of Hillary YOU sit in the meeting. HOW ARE YOU GOING TO VOTE, MR.OBAMA? FOR YOUR COUNTRY OR TO PROTECT THE ENEMY? Or are you going to vote “PRESENT”? LET US HEAR YOU ANSWER THIS ONE, Mr. Obama. How are you going to vote? You want to be the president, so ANSWER if you are honest.

“The real issues shift toward experience, solutions to problems, and to a plan on how change will be implimented.”
I have even more comedy, I wonder has Hillary tried that with Bill!
Yeah, she can run the experience campaign because she has enough crow’s feet around her eyes to show for it right?!?!?!?. Besides that, I really haven’t seen or heard anything else from her besides her flip flopping on NAFTA, and her ongoing rant on health care reform which she already failed at, and her extremely poor judgment on the war in Iraq, and her fantasy of green jobs in Ohio. Oh and she even got endorsed by the JOKER!! How fitting.
Obama/Edwards O8′!
Oh, and implimented should be spelled implemented. I would think a business man would know how to spell that. Hmmm.

Hillary is not a leader. McCain does favors for lobbyists -he’s like Hillary. A few days ago Hillary basically endorsed McCain for his ‘experience’ over Obama. Both McCain and Hillary think experience is enough for the presidency. Leadership is good judgment, intellegence, willingness to listen to all sides, innovation, likability, the ability to inspire and give hope -Obama has all of these and more.

OBAMA embraces and affirms he is an insider of the Old Boys Club/Old Boys Network in Washington DC —
Based on Obama’s inner circle and endorsements many followers of his once believed that he stood for change in DC and still refuse to acknowledge that he is deeper in bed and surrounded by more old guard in the Democratic Party than Hillary Clinton. From Obama’s mentor and close friend, John Kerry, to his most recent endorsement from old-guard and multiple Presidential hopeful Senator Christopher Dodd, and soon to be supporter, Senator Biden (who many speculate will be his Vice Presidential choice), and what few followers of Obama’s will acknowledge is that Senator Obama is more Old Boys Network and very anti-Bi-Partisan than any other candidate in Democratic History.
What is even more frightening is that if Obama does get the nomination and wins the White House and fails – he will be another Jimmy Carter and the Republicans will own the White house for the next 16 years!
Rove-ites are loving Barack Obama and they are hoping he will over Hillary since they know Hillary will expose all the corruption from this current administration that Barack Obama would be too afraid to expose for fear he would not be loved by both parties.
Elect a candadite that will have a back bone and not take the office for a social networking event and the next stepping stone to a multi-million dollar speaking contract

AND OBAMA HAS SUCH GOOD JUDGEMENT! HAH
Obama’s own account of his real-estate entanglement with Rezko was a “boneheaded” mistake. The candidate, who is running on the strength of his good “judgment,” would like for REZKO to disappear on the witness stand.

Beki thank you for stepping up. I think its time to share with the rest of class your canidates experience, solutions to our current problems, and to his ethical reform package. Oh thats right his ethical dealings with Rezco. You know the crook from Chicago who goes on trail in the morning, who took millions of dollars from Hezbolah and laundred it. Pleae list for the class what he has done…Mr. Obama is not the answer for our nation. It is like taking the 8th grade Vice President, and promoting him to the deans list at Stanford. Please put John Edwards with a winner. Clinton/Edwards 08 and another business man voting for Hillary Clinton!

To the person who posted this:
“What people do not know is that Obama attends one of the strictest Christian denominations that commit very seriously to serving Jesus Christ. Church of Christ is STRICT! A weak Christian cannot attend such a denomination. It is seriously Pentecostal.”
That’s exactly what scares me the most about Obama. I guess if he wins people will be speaking in tongues at the Whitehouse.

Obama is a corrupt politician, he is pretending to be a centrist when in reality he is a left winger extremist. he is setting an example that it is OK to have ANTI AMERICAN FRIENDS and still be eligible to become President.

Obama’s only fame to claim is his 2002 speech against the war. This is the one and only line on his resume for the presidency. Even with this, he spoke up in support of the Bush strategy a year later when he was in the senate. Obama is no where near having the right qualification for president. When the phone rings at 3am in the morning….Obama will not be ready and will not be prepared. The speech he made will not make an ounce of difference when that phone rings at 3am in the morning.

Based on integrity, calmness, education, battle hardened, proven track record, ability to get results from all political parties, support of our military who do you want to answer the “call” ?
Hillary Clinton

Obama is a political opportunist who placed qualifications for the presidency low on his list of must dos. A man who has the audacity to think that only after 2 years f/t in the senate that he is somehow ready to run for the presidency without regards to the urgency of americans needing real solutions. Solutions do not come once the end state is imagined. Solutions come with experience, hardwork, smart, tests, information and through many lessons learned. Hillary is the right candidate for 2008.

Michelle and Barack Obama will need to explain How they were able to purchase the empty lot next to their home? or we need to ask Rezko What he got in return for helping the Obama’s purchase the empty lot???..

Hillary does not have the final say on sending any jobs to foreign countries. That is big business decisions. What she has done since the NAFTA blunder is say that she will give tax credits to businesses who bring jobs back to the U.S. That’s an encouring sign to me. And as far as the sale to the house for Bama, it was priced $300,000 under market value. HHMMMMMMMMM,,,,can you say “Gift” How about Bama keeping millions of dollars of tax payers money for his campaign coffers. He recently said, he is considering giving it back to the people. Sounds like a double, flip flop special. Not at my expense and stop the nonsense now.

Fellow Texan…open your ears and listen. The future is too important to fooled by a politician’s magic tricks. Obama claimed today in one of his speech that he is about bringing the party together and about clean politics. As though the manufactured image is all that’s needed to blind the voters. I remember fliers going out with untruth information about hillary clinton. I remember Michelle Obama in an interview claimed that’s hillary was at fault for bill’s cheating. I remeber the words he used were not his own. I remember monsterous leap his campaign made in injecting the race card into the election by critiqing all of Bill’s statements as racist. I remeber hearing from a senior associated press journalist pointing out that it was the Obama camp that led reporters to the picture of him in the Kenya garb in order to once again inject the race card. I remember it was him that uses his anti-war speech as the one and only claim for his qualification, yet he is now proposing the bombing of pakistan even without consent and proposing to put troops back in Iraq if Alqeada remains….when alqeada is already there. I remember the condescending tone he uses to minimize a female candidate…taking advantage of the gender bias ingrained in our society. I remember Michelle Obama injecting the race card again implying he is more in danger of an assasination because he is black….as though, Hillary would not as a woman!@#$. I remember much and thus I concluded that this man is a fraud. The shame of all this is that he has no shame in selling an empty call for change during a time when so many americans are desperate for real change. The shame of all this is how he has been able to fooled so many to part ways with their hard earn money. We deserve better! We can be better! Hillary 2008

Obama claimes hes the candidate for the future yet he uses his 2002 speech as a qualification for everything while regurgitate events of the past most of the times in his speeches for change. Where are the solutions? What’s the strategy? Why will it be successful? Who will pay for it? Ask before you vote….ask Mr Obama the where, why, what and how…because up to now…I hear much immitation in tone and words to MLK and JFK but I’ve seen little actions and even less on specific solutions.

I am ecstatic to know that my young son will finally have someone in the person of President Barack Obama to emulate than the sleasy Clintons with all their baggage.
He has more experience than Bill Clinton when he was elected President. And besides, he is an intelligent man who is capable for the presidency.

If you scored a house way under market, wouldn’t you feel obligated, wouldn’t you owe them $$, a favor, something useful to them? Lawyers doing deals, dirty deals sometimes – that’s what the Obama home purchase was. Hell! Don’t be naive. We’re not dummies here.

Becki, Mrs Rezko was the seller, I am sure with Mr Rezko approval, The took a lost in exchange for FAVORS…LETS ASK MR. REZKO?

Obama’s got a whole store he wants to sell to americans without products on the shelves.

So what is the relation between the Clinton’s and Rezko? The Clinton’s had strong ties in Illinois long before Obama came along. It is Hillary’s home state.

Madre, madre,,why don’t you enlighting the class…Go ahead explain what the Clintons and Rezko have done.

Picture, does this mean my picture with Bill Clinton means he gets around?

I just noticed your Hillary/Gore combo! LOL! That will NEVER HAPPEN!!! Gore is done running with the likes of the Shady Clintons. If Bill could have kept his zipper up, he could have helped campaign with Al, but Al had to distance himself from Billy boy because of all his scandalousness! Can you say Resentment!
Obama/Edwards 08′!

Becki,
I like Gore except his comment, he invented the internet. I think his efforts towards global warming are admirable. I like Edwards but he has not stepped up for her. Who knows! We just need her in there before jr.

Yes, Gore is admirable. See we agree on something. Now if you would just support Barack, we could all just get along, the heavens would open up, doves would fly, and we could hold hands and sing cum ba ya!
Lol!
Edwards is waiting for Barack to get the nomination, I think they had this planned since that debate when they both ganged up on Hillary.

I was thinking that too, Becky! I thought they had something planned together But now I am not so sure. I guess we’ll see soon enough :)

Becki,
Seriously your alright and have brought some darn great points to the forum. I admire you professionally. The doves, and rabbits are all happy now!
Clinton/Gore 08
Clinton/Edwards 08
Clinton/Obama ? (Yeah right that will be a cold day!)

Well something is going to have to give, because we CANNOT let John McCain win.
That is just scary in itself.
Obama/Edwards 08′!
Thanks Mike!

Becki,
I do agree that McCain is more of ‘lil’ bush…
I think this has been a hell of a race..Infact, I say Bill speak at Virginia Tech a month ago, met him, and decided to get involved.

Ok, ok so you think he is dreamy…What do you think Madre?
I still think she is better for us right now! He has just spouted up and with his track record what can you really see in this (I do not have to vote for 110 times in the senate)
I guess I am a little old fashion. I like to know a lot and think before I just jump in..for the most part.
Another business man for Hillary Clinton 08

If Obama’s the nominee, I WILL vote for McCain! What I see about Obama is not good-even scary! I’m not sure what kind of “change” a man like Obama would bring.

If Clinton didn’t have so many different moods AND if she would quit waffling on some issues, I could stand her. But I am a woman who sees the kind of woman who can’t be trusted in Hillary. When I listen to her recently, she seems so power hungry to me. She has done many great things in her career. But I think she lost what was in her heart back then and something darker toook it’s place.

Madre,
You do not think her moods have anything to do with the media not being fair toward her. Example, the last debate they told her at one commercial that they did not have time for her answer to wait till they come back after break…they never gave her the chance to speak at that time. I can agree with you that at times she seems whinny, but for gosh sakes she has fought and fought some tough battles..I think with the right cabinet she could be one of our best presidents. You know by being a woman that being determined is a trait you all have. I think she could be one of the best!..She will keep Bill at check for sure.

Hillary Clinton has destroyed the Democratic party, for how long I can’t really say.
She can’t win without beating Obama in every remaining state by 65%. She won’t get those numbers in Texas or Ohio so dragging this fight out is destroying the party.
Here you have Obama an inspiration to young people and potentially a trans formative figure in how America’s enemies see America and rather then conceed to the fact that Obama is exactly what the country needs in a world that see’s America as intollerent bullies who care more about forwarding there own self interests then the lives those interests effect.
Hillary can’t beat McCain. Hillary claims it’s an experience issue, well McCain beats her on experience. Hillary says it’s a national defense issue. McCain beats her here as well. What about personality and likability. McCain wins. Finally what about independent voters seeing as they will likely decide who is the next president. McCain wins here as well. Add McCains republican base, his fairly liberal ideals, and you have a recipe for disaster for democrats as independent (who generally can’t stand Hillary) would rather see a moderate republican like McCain in office then Hillary.
Look into these facts yourself, America doesn’t like Hillary very much and if it wasn’t for the trade mark loyalty shown by Latin American’s she would’ve been crushed long ago.
A vote for Hillary is a vote for McCain and if most of you Hillay supporters had done your research instead of chugging the Clinton Koolaide you’d know she is the very last thing America needs right know.
Bush–> Clinton–> Bush–> Clinton
Enough already, America is meant to be run as a democracy not a dynasty.
If you want another 4 years of Bush and his policies vote Clinton on Tuesday.

Hey Mike were you around during the 90′s?? We had some pretty good years then didn’t we. Like a balanced budget with a surplus.
Hillary is not a Bush, infact history has shown us how well the last Clinton did for our nation. Hillary has carried more than latin America too. You will see and I do hope your arrogance and pride do not trip you up. It is time for all of us to not embrace Obama when he can’t even put a stamp on his first 5 years in the senate…

Hey Bama, that was done during the lil bush administrations. Including offering power to California at 3 times the market rate during thier crisis several years ago. That has Corrupt cheney written all over it. My business is in the real estate sector. Thank you for asking.

Clinton’s experience did not help us but created more problems for America.
1. She voted to authorize war in Iraq
2. NAFTA
Many Americans are jobless today because of NAFTA.
GO HOME CLINTON AND RELAX.

Every persons has a right to their own personal views.
OBAMA FOR PRESIDENT 2008!
The American people need a president that encourage all to work towards a better America

Hillary for President!

2008 will be the year where the good Ole USA will elect the first ever Female President into the Whitehouse. This is the year for the daughters of america. Talk to your daughters and explain to them what is happenning here. Explain the giant step women all over the world are banding together to make happen…explain to them that women in mass can bring on a voice so loud that the country and the world can no longer ignore!

There will be no unification of the Democratic party behind Barack Obama. Especially if his camp continues to try and force Clinton out of the campaign. The resentment and the outright rage Clinton’s camp will have will drive them right out of the Democratic party right straight to McCain’s camp. We will not stand for our votes to be discounted and in our view, if the DNC considers our vote inconsequential, we’ll take them to someone who will welcome and value them. Flordia and Michigan have already set the tone there. If their votes don’t matter to the DNC now, why should they give them to the DNC in November? We are not supporting Obama because we don’t trust him, we don’t like him, we don’t believe he is good for this country. Why would we violate our own principles to adhere to the party line? It is experience that we care about. It is who we trust with our military and with our issues. And for us that is Hillary Clinton, and if not her, John McCain. Yes her experienc on the Armed Forces Committee is important to us, the endorsement of 2 former Chairmans of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, General Shelton, and General Shalikashvili, the endorsement of Wesley Clark, Supremee Allied Commander of Nato, and the endorsements of all the other Brigadier Generals, Admirals and other flag officers, give us reason to believe she is the preferred choice for Commander in Chief. They have confidence in Hillary, not Obama. As far as I am concerned when the top brass of our military will not support Obama, and will support Clinton, then I’m going to sit up and take notice.

Why is Obama running? “…I tried as much as possible to spend my campaign talking not about the flaws of the other candidates but why I am running.”
Read some of the articles at the Washington Post and the Huffington Report about Obama.
“As a consequence of Obama’s dereliction of duty on the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, a feckless administration has had absolutely no oversight as it careens from disaster to disaster in Afghanistan, including the central governments loss of control over 70 percent of the country and yet another bumper crop of opium to fuel the efforts of the Taliban and their terrorist allies. Of course, if you don’t hold hearings, conduct oversight, make recommendations or sponsor legislation, then you have no record to explain or defend and you are free to take whatever position is convenient when attacking those who actually did address issues. Meanwhile, on the campaign trail, Obama holds forth on Afghanistan, chiding the administration and our allies as though he’s a profile in courage and not someone who has abandoned his post in establishing accountability.”
I’d like to see him actually do something that is his own work; say something that is his own words; … why is he running?
