Bill on Hillary’s Debate Performance: ‘I Thought She Was Great’

I wholeheartedly agree. I thought she was great too!

The idea that Obama shouldn’t have to answer for all this is ridiculous. If this had been addressed long ago like it should have been, then Obama wouldn’t be facing this now. Where would we be now if only the media had been doing their job and being objective and scrutinizing the man who wants to be our President for goodness sakes.
What more is out there? What else got scrubbed? He is scary.
His Ayers answer…my god. I don’t care if he bombed buildings, government or otherwise, 20 years before I was born. If I am wanting to be President (and by the way, If I’m not wanting to be President either) I avoid him, his neighbor, his kindergarten teacher and his dog’s puppies like they were the plague.
NOT because I’m running for President but because what he did is heinous and against the land I love.
I don’t care if he wasn’t punished legally, it doesn’t make him not guilty, especially when he admits it, boasts about it and says they didn’t do enough and he regrets that.
Just think…Ayers is only ONE issue that Obama needs to answer for.
Also, as long as the slamming is of Clinton, it’s ok right? If it had been, all you people all over the Internet would be celebrating, instead of whining.
Come back and vote when you grow up.

1 tabloid question each candidate from viewers ( sniper fire & flag pin)
3 tabloid questions against Obama (wrihgt + willie? + bitter-gate). 1 came from Sean Hennety (agruabley a neo-con). NONE against Hillary.
And the only audience responses shown (5 times) were from Chelsea sandwiched beteen two Hillary superDel.
Its NOT BIASED only by “biased hillary supporters”

I just want to say as a lifetime Democrate for 49 years, I have never been so embarrassed to be a Democrate till now. Last nights debate was a total joke. Hillary, ABC, Nutter and Rendell did a good job of setting Senator Obama up. It appeared to me that the debate was not about real issues but instead, an agenda for Hillary’s benefit. It was obvious that she knew what the questions were going to be and that it was decided to ask her about Bosnia once and disregard all of her other lies, mistatments and cheapshots. She has shown the American people exactly who and what she is. I am tired of her nasty self promoting games and more importantly, I am disappointed that the DNC has allowed her to tear the Democratic Party apart. It was so many times last night where Obama could have torn her apart, instead, he in a sense protected her on Bosnia and tried to deal more with the issues the American people are really concerned with. Instead, she took out her dagger and continued to dig. That is not a sign of a fighter or of strength, it’s a sign of sleaziness, desparation and ignorance. Obama is clearly the better candidate. He is morally sound, trustworthy and genuinely concerned about the people. I have donated to his campaign at least twice a month and very proud to do so.
I am tired of listening to politcal analysis twist and turn words around and create massive issues out of nothing! This Primary has stressed me out and I have decided for my own morals and well being, that I will officially resign as a Democrat if Senator Obama is cheated out of the nomination.
I will leave the Hillary circus in November for the rest of you to enjoy and take my chances on the Republican side.
Sadly,
A Democrat on the fence.

I thought she was great too but it seems that the majority of Dems have already made up their minds and no matter how well she does now they will still support Obama. I don’t think she is getting a fair chance in this nomination process and that is a shame. For someone so capable they should treat her better. I do think their is buyer’s remorse setting in for some of the people who have voted already.

ABC I know this would work for brainwash Republican — But Democrats where watching

Yes Jo, you hit the nail on the head. “Weak” is the word that comes to my mind when I see him at the podium. Fear is written across his countenance, guilt in his demeanor. I sometimes feel sorry for him because I don’t think in a million years he ever imagined the scrutiny he is and will be under. We all have a pretty good idea who is working behind the scenes. Obama is a mere puppet, a sacrificial lamb, a talking-head. Take him off script and he is lost. So will America be lost if we follow him.

Jo,
You are right.
Lastnight ABC prepared for the GE.
No matter what if Obama want to win the GE he has to face those issues.
His supporters just don’t get it.
He can not get all the free pillows anymore ,he has to be tough.

It was pretty obvious that Hillary was briefed beforehand on what the questions where going to be.
As for debating, she did not debate. She did not answer directly to any questions. All she did was rehash her stump speech over and over again.
Hillary fanboys can tout her “win” all they want but anybody who is neutral could tell that she came off as petty at best. I’m sure the Super Delegates got a taste of who Hillary Cliton is and I’m sure most made up their mind on this issue.
Face it guys, she is unelectable.

There wasn’t any debate on real issues and there were no winners. This was the worst debate by any means and the ABC moderators did a poor performance.

As a former Edwards supporter and a Democrat I am sure the only people who are happy with what happened last night are Republicans and desperate Hillary supporters who should know better. This was not a general election debate and I can’t wait to see the new Gallup Poll so you can see what REAL DEMOCRATS think of her performance last night. It was a shameful and pathetic performance.

crisis08 – It was the moderator’s fault little Obami looked so bad. Did I say bad? Like a deer in the headlights bad.

A quote from Obama’s past relevant to this debate:
“What’s troubling is the gap between the magnitude of our challenges and the smallness of our politics—the ease with which we are distracted by the petty and trivial.”
I thought Clinton was awful. I was disgusted by the whole thing, actually.

This was the first time that the tough questions that Hillary has been asked, and answering well, included tough questions for Obama…. and now the “Obama-ites” WHINE ! LOL

Tiffany: You certainly didn’t hear that debate accurately. George and Charlie brought up his close friends and underground dogs like Ayers and Ayres. No one knew he had ties to a bomber until it all came out in the news. Now what real American would have himself tied to people that supposedly set a bomb in NY. What person would vote for a candidate like that unless they are anti-american and don’t care what happens in this country. Evidently you don’t care either.

I agree.

Looks like Obama needs to put the training wheels back on last night showed that he has not learned how to ride unless someone has their hand on the bike! When the hand of his media pals come off he crashes and starts to cry!

Jack: I didn’t read anything in your comments about Obama’s close ties to Ayers and Ayres, the underground bomber dogs. What about that? I am glad it was brought out in the open and if people in this country after hearing that vote Obama in they don’t have any respect for America. He is as racist as can be because his mother brought him up like that as a young boy. Obama hides the fact that he doesn’t like white people he uses them for his own advantage and they are stupid enough to believe his lies. Get a grip and wake up.

Dogsoldier,
Yes, I agree with you.

This debate was the most fair one yet. I liked that the responses were timed, and each were given an equal amount of time. I liked that the questions were staggered, and that they “flipped a coin” to see who would go first on opening and closings. I was impressed that both were challenged with tough questions and not allowed to wiggle out of fully answering.
ABC handled this debate in a very admirable way, and I think both candidates supporters should have been satisfied with the fairness of the debate, for a change. This is how journalists should handle debates. Both got hit with three very tough issues, some of which have been dominating the news. Obama: Rev. Wright, his infamous “bitter” remarks, and his association with William Ayers. Clinton: Her Bosnia exaggeration, her purported statements that Obama was unelectable, and a public opinion poll about her honesty.
For his part, Obama rationalized, made excuses, stammered a lot, and declared the subjects absurd and a distraction from the issues. While Clinton apologized and ate a lot of crow for her “mistakes,” describing her trip to Bosnia and got badgered into saying Obama is electable.
Their discussion of the issues wasn’t anything all that new; however, Obama did stumble a bit on his position on payroll and capital gains taxes. My main observation is that Clinton was ASKED questions about her positions on Wright and Obama’s bitter comments, and she responded, owning her position, while Obama hedged on the Bosnia question, admitting his “campaign” was hammering on it, “of course,” yet somehow dodging personal responsibility for what his campaign is doing? That just seemed dishonest to me. If his campaign is doing it – HE is. I’d much rather see the candidates own their positions and actions, than try and appear above the fray, when their actions don’t match the perception they’re trying to falsely portray.

I bet the people of Oklahoma are thrilled about Obama comparing their Senator to a bomber. Does Obama have a clue what happened on Oklahoma City?

Information>>>>>>If Hilly get this nod to be on the ballot let me tell you people that that is excatly what the REP> want,,,They will tear her to shreads and Billy boy right along with her.Have you seen any of the reports they have yet to use????I have>>>>>>The Clintons will never hold their noses up in the air again…..

i think hillary came off a little more friendly than before but still couldnt help herself but try to do a few under the table jabs about rev. wright and ayers and i think she took a huge slap in the face on national t.v for it when because of the pardons.I think she failed big time when she was asked to get a mans vote back after she lost him to the lies she tells , she was pretty much running around her own words just to prevent herself from having to say i lied im sorry . I think they pretty much said the same thing and didnt change too much. i think people that think she won only think this because she is known for coming out looking worse.

BXMC,
The debate put Hillary in the corner? Are we talking about the same debate, where even on Daily Kos, Obama Kossack supporters are even admitting that Obama did a lousy job and they are starting to worry out loud about Obama.
That being said, there is already fallout about the debate hitting Obama. Obama said in the debate he barely knew Ayers. Fact checker at MSNBC just posted an article indicating that in fact, Obama attended a fundraiser at Ayer’s house, along with Bernadette Dohrn. Remember Dohrn, she is famous for publicly saluting mass murderer Charles Manson, using a satanic salute.
========================================
Obama Bittergate, bringing change to America one unindicted radical at a time!
========================================

melissa – Obami tax hike? Who knew?

Charlie and George truly disappointed me. I had so much respect for Charlie before last night. It was clear he was out to show Obama in a bad light. He was rude and should not have been a moderator since he made it apparent who he wanted to “win” the debate.

This is front page news? Bill thinks Hillary did a swell job?
After last night’s debate, one might have thought that ABC would show some contrition. Apparently, the network is totally in bed with Hillary and won’t even try to be objective, even for appearance sake.
A sad day for lovers of the news.

Pepou – After that performance don’t expect any Hillary supporters voting for Obami anytime soon. Mommy? Help the bad men asked me questions!

Mariann Pepitone – Don’t it make you mad when those bad men ask questions of little Obami?

TRISHANC…THE POINT IS that Hillary has more baggage than BOSNIA, but none of that was brought up. ABC News is Owned by Disney, who’s CEO has filled Hillary’s campaign funds with thousands of dollars. The whole plan was to hurt Obama so that the superdelegates would see him in a different light. Rev. Wright is not the real issue. The issue is to keep a black man from becoming president. Clinton is no more qualified than anyone else, but she is white and that is ok with many white people. It does not matter to them if she is a pathological liar. This country is very racist and maybe now was the time for all this to surface so that the children who will be adults in the future will not have to deal with it.

Are you people kidding me? Bill Clinton must have been drinking dozens of shots and beers to make a comment like that. Hillary needed a knockout punch and could not deliver. The winner last night? John McCain of course!

Dogsoldier, WestCoastMessanger, geevil, russell, Ed et al, all HillLovers, wait for Hill’s negatives they will come out soon. Remember that Bill Clinton and his Special Assistant to the President of the USA i.e Hillary Bosnian Clinton have pardonned 2 people who are now being qualified as terrorists because you want to tie them to Obama. What do you think of BHill? Yes-Yes-Yes Hillary is unelectable and that is the reality and remember that is the pain you have to live with.God bless America and God bless Obama.OBAMA08.

Obama supporters are like little grasshoppers who learn from their master. When he gets caught dishing working people he says uses the old trick it’s not me it’s them! So no surprise to hear his supporters today crying that the reason he did so poorly was not because of the way he handled the questions, not it was because he was treated unfairly! Ah grasshoppers you have learned well, master very pleased!

What made me change from HILLARY to OBAMA was the Question on Social Security. Hillary wants a COMMISSION to fix Soc Security. Obama comes right out and says we just need to RAISE the CAP on earnings taxed from $97,000 to some higher number and not increase the Soc SEC Eligibility Age and not reduce Benefits. And we all know what Commissions do. they split the baby. So under Hillary you could expect some Lower Benefits and maybe a raise in the Age to collet. Its evident OBAMA is more for the People. I’m with him now !!

BKMC – Ohh, those bad, bad, men at ABC. Weren’t you girly men gonna boycott or something?
Did you know Obami was raising taxes?

Mariann,
You are right.
I guess a lot of people did not know about he related to Ayers and terrorists until lastnight.

Wow. Bill supports Hillary? Thanks, ABC, for this insightful report.

BXMC,
Obama Bittergate’s negatives are quite fluid as well, hitting 51 today. What matters is not the negatives, though, it is the vote. Obama Bittergate will be crushed in Pennsylvania on this wave of bad news, radical underground ties, etc, and now the debate will be looked at as the turning point. He stumbled, and stammered, and, well frankly, acted like a bit of a fool. Not presidential.
========================================
Obama Bittergate, stumbling along one bitter stammer after another.
========================================

Ofcourse Bill is in high spirit about his wife. The moderators did the job for them. It’s worse than the mafia- ‘mugging, hit job’? It is obvious that this whole affair seemed to be predictive of the headline: that ‘Obama kept on defensive …’!
What passed for as a ‘debate’ last night was quite outrageously short on substance. The two journalists–Gibson and Stephanopoulos–should be ashamed of themselves for doing such a hack job. This is not to rail against the sharp questioning of Mr. Obama, but the disrespectful interruptions and the relentless biased questioning had no journalistic merit; it also appeared to be tinged with negativity towards Mr. Obama. Even for some lay perso, this kind of tabloid approach to such an important event appear unprofessional and borders on incompetence.
It’s laughable for the news media, like NYT to liken it to Tim Russet and Brian Williams’ questioning of Clinton; those journalists were professionals. Or does this have to do with ABC itself–ABC is owned by Walt Disney and its chief CEO is Robert Iger, an influential Clinton supporter. Perhaps a corporate decision was made to do a ‘hit job’. We also know Bill is Stephanopoulos old boss and may have wanted to curry favor with the boss’ wife. Generally, it was such a useless debate that we turned off the TV. And I will tell you many colleagues told me that they could not stand watching. Of course, media people want to look the other way and not criticize their colleagues–but this tabloid spectacle must have embarrassed every decent journalist. No wonder people generally have negative view of the media. These two ABC journalists looked like FOX news hacks. Shame! Shame! Shame!
Perhaps this crystalizes more how far the Clintons can go to win. It also exposes what the Clintons are all about. It was actually a turn off for Hillary to be so base.

OH TED MY FRIEND – YOU DIDN’T LISTEN WELL TO HRC ANWERS ON SOCIAL SECURITY – AND OH YES HRC MADE 20 MILLION DOLLARS FOR 2007 AND OBAMA MADE 4.7 MILLION – SO MUCH FOR THE LITTLE PEOPLE AS OUR SELVES HOW EVER HRC IS SO CONFIDENT AND STRONG SHE WILL MAKE OUR COUNTRY BETTER AND OBAMA DID NOTHING BUT STAMMER. WHAT IS GOING TO DO IF HER WERE PRESIDENT. STAMMER. I WAS AN OBAMA VOTER UNTIL LAST NIGHT. IF HE DOESN’T HAVE A PREPARED ANSWER FOR A QUESTION HE FOLDS LIKE A DECK OF CARDS – WHO NEEDS THAT KIND OF PRESIDENT.
HRC DIDN’T STAMMER ONCE – SHE KNOWS HER STUFF. SHE IS A LEADER. THAT IS WHAT WE NEED IN PRESIDENT. GREAT JOB HILLARY – YOU EARNED MY VOTE LAST NIGHT.

MARIANNA,
DO YOU READ THE PAPERS – THE REPUBLICANS WANT OBAMA NOMINATED FOR PRESIDENT – BECAUSE HE IS THE EASIER OF THE 2 TO BEAT UP DURING A GENERAL ELECTION.

POOR CHRIS,
DID YOUR LITTLE BABY OBAMA NOT WITHSTAND THE HEAT. HRC HAS BEEN UNDER THIS KIND OF SCURTINY FOR MONTHS AND SHE CAN HANDLE THE PRESSURE. HOW WILL OBAMA BE ABLE TO HANDLE THE PRESSURES OF BEING PRESIDENT AFTER LAST NIGHTS PERFORMANCE.

What America needs desperately is to get out of IRAQ ASAP, Univ Health Care ( watch the Frontline Special ), Reinstitution of our MANUF JOBS through the reestablisment of FAIR TRADE, action on Global Warming, and a real Engery Polcy and Lower Energy Costs. And I think most of us know that Juan McCAIN is just going to be 4 more years of disaster. At this time America needs a strong Liberal President. Someone who will really work for the People. And Barack OBAMA gives us the best chance of this. Indeed

Ah those republicans just licking their chops wanting some of that ground up Obamaburger! What’s the Weather Undrground where Obama is today? Skies look a little stormy bad Weather ahead!

TONY
IT SHOULD BE THAT WAY. MICHELLE SUPPORTS OBAMA AND BILL SUPPORTS HRC. SO WHAT IS YOUR PROBLEM WITH HIM SAYING SHE DID GREAT.
BTW SHE DID DO GREAT. SHE ONCE MY VOTE LAST NIGHT AND SEVERAL PEOPLE AT MY GYM AND OFFICE SAID THE SAME THING. WE ALL THOUGHT OBAMA IS NOT GOOD UNDER THE HEAT AND THAT IS IMPORTANT AS COMMANDER AND CHIEF.
GREAT JOB HILLARY!

He told Charlie that on the GE they will not ask about patriotism , people more concern about economy.
He got applaud from his backers.
Really??
I think from now on Rep starting to prepare for that moment.

Hillary did do okay. Obama on the other hand was stuck wondering why the moderators weren’t completely biased toward him as in the other debates. Well, good on ABC. We got to see the real Obama…and it wasn’t very pretty.

H. Aslan Aslani-Far – I’m a Native American, lad.

hillary was excellent. she whooped up on obama and he seemed like a deer caught in headlights.
not ready for prime time, he seemed disturbed that such questions could be asked of him. well, he wants to be president and we have the right to know all about him.
an old addage: birds of a feather flock together: obama, jeremiah wright, ayers the self proclaimed bomber, rezko…
if obama gets the nomination, mccain et al will eat his lunch…

I thought the debate was GREAT! FINALLY both candidates get asked some tough questions. And I disagree with the people here who think the issues weren’t legitimate. These are questions people are asking all over the Internet and which the media, until very recently, has not touched upon.
A President has to be held to a higher standard than the rest of us. People are not blindly going to vote for a President when he has failed to prove that he has either the experience or the good judgment or the readiness to take the highest office in this land or if he refuses to answer basic questions about his associations with radicals, criminals and terrorists!
Because the race for the democratic nomination is a virtual tie (no candidate achieving the necessary pledged delegates to seal the deal) this nomination is probably going to be decided by the Superdelegates who are going to have to pick the strongest candidate to run against John McCain. So the argument for who is the strongest national candidate, and questions pertaining to that ARE the most important questions right now.

What on earth is all this “indignant” reaction to ABC’s debate about? Please people, we are talking about looking at hiring someone (and it is that) to do the toughest job in the world and we are afraid to ask the really tough questions that linger in the minds of many, many people? I can read about the plans of both people on their websites, ad nauseum, and I can read the opinions of those plans or things less tangible about the candidates in columns, but I want to see how these people can handle the really tough, revealing questions that show a person’s character, on pointe, without a speech or teleprompter. This was a very tough, stark (no applause – love that!) debate that pushed issues we have with both candidates and those that will certainly be pushed by the Republicans. This is not a job for the faint of heart, or light of spirit, otherwise we all would be applying.
I sat thru the entire debate and tried very hard to keep an open mind. Afterall, one of these two people could be the next President. The only problem I had with the moderators was not nailing the candidates on a direct answer to a specific question, or even an indirect answer would have been nice. All in all, I think Hillary won this one. She seemed to maintain her composure (a good thing when times are tough as a President) and answer most of the questions, more so than Obama. She did loft a few bombs his way and one can argue it was personal, but I thought maybe there’s another reason: maybe she really knows that if he is the nominee, that the Republicans will make mincemeat of him with his questionable ties to Rezko, Ayers, Wright, and his revealing comments behind closed doors when cameras aren’t rolling and teleprompter is off. If the Republicans can destroy the character of two very good, credible men (Gore, Kerry) without much to work with, what on earth will they do to this guy? Afterall, isn’t it MOST important that we elect anyone except a Republican who still thinks Sunni’s and Shiites are reversed and thinks GWB’s policies are “OK”?!

“I don’t think she is getting a fair chance in this nomination process and that is a shame. ” Are you kidding me? She has contested every primary up until now, and a majority of Americans have chosen Obama. Futher, she has been the more negative of the two candidates, voted FOR a way that Americans are agaisnt, and made stupid campaing decisions early on that led to bad coverage. It’s not an issue of fairness.

Tiffany: That’s not true I the most ill informed person on this blog! Don’t go taking that away from me! Then again after listening to Obama last night I think he is the mos ill informed person because anyone who watched knows that he doesn’t have a clue! So I guess I will settle for the second most ill informed person! Obama #1!

To Tiffany who stated : “There Bill goes lying again. The onlyl reason Hillary did remotely decent is because she was given a pass by the moderaters”
Hillary has been doing the best at the debates even before Iowa (if you watched them). Obama has been doing bad at them but the last 2 (texas and ohio) he improved. But last night he is back to his old debating skills – which aren’t so good.
I don’t know why Obama campaign and Obama supporters always want to attack Hillary and Bill Clinton. Obama and his supporters say they want change but yet they attack – like pit dogs.

Dear Tiffany: It is the poor judgment of Obama to associate with bad characters – knowing that they are bad – and then wanting to be President. His judgement is poor. that is the issue I have with Wright and all the other scum buckets he hangs out with…..

The Obama supporters are not doing their candidate any favors by demanding that he always get the easy questions.
If he does win the nomination the Republican are going to throw everything at him, they are not going to ask about his tie or if he brushed his teeth this morning.
He will get more than the kitchen sink, he will have to talk about his love for this country, Rezko, Ayres, his house, his drug use, you name it he is going to get it.
There will be no time for the uhh haa uhh stuttering, or the out right lies to distort the truth, he is not going to get off as easy as he did last night, so rather than blame ABC it would be better for some of you to insist that your candidate has all the answers because it will only get harder from now on.

You call that debate? It was piling on..a rugby match with Barrack was at the bottom. Democratic candidates for Prez refused to debate on FOX thinking that the so called mainsteam media like ABC News is better, huh? Well, people now know that the most powerful forces in media are Drudge Report, FOX News and the tabloid press. They lead with their non-issue stories and the rest follow. CNN depends on them, as well as NBC News and CBS. Some of us who knew this all along are not surprised. The question is, what took the rest of you so long to know the truth. Yeah, liberal bias!

Stop picking on DogSoldier. You guys are so juvenile. To say that Obama won that debate or even looked half-way presidential in that debate is just proof that you are zombies. If he’d won, I’d say so but he was terrible and all you can say is who cares. A LOT OF PEOPLE DO. He answered every question with some lame attack on Hilary, even bringing up Bill. Didn’t he say a while back that he didn’t know if he was running against Bill or Hilary? Sounds like he still can’t figure it out. And the Jimmy Carter slam. C’mon, the guy is a former DEMOCRATIC president! Very immature politically. Sorry Obama and his supporters but these questions on character ARE relevant especially when this country is locking people up in Gitmo FOREVER based on who they “allegedly” know. Obama’s like the kid’s game where someone farts and blames it on everybody else but any kid can tell you that the one that said it, did it.

Poor Obama. If he looses, how is he ever going to get by on only 4.2 million per annum?

As a lifelong republican, I am amused to read these comments by democrats against democrats. Never before I have seen such division within the same political party. Democrats, take note, you have an incredible opportunity to win back the White House, the Republicans actually have a candidate that is less electable than W was!!! Don’t spend so much time breaking up and dividing your own party! I can’t vote for McCain, but I will vote for Mr. Obama.
I have to agree that ABC was shameless last night…this was not a debate, it was merely more prime time “reality: TV.

I agree with Bill! Hillary was awesome last night.
Poor Obama was expecting a pillow and ended up getting pelted with a few hardballs. After 15 months of watching MSN and CNN drool and grovel at his feet, it was quite refreshing to see media not hypnotized by him.
He proved himself to be inexperienced in responding to direct attacks off the cuff, something a US president has to know how to handle every day of the week for 4 years.

Michelle: Ican see why you don’t like Hillary you have the same name as Obama’s wife. And she has run of the mouth. And I can see by your comments you have the same thing. Obama made his bed and now he can lie in it. Where have you been. Obama is a good double talker, liar and a racist that he hides from the white people. Obama doesn’t like white people he uses them for his own advantage and most of this generation is the same as you. Dumb as they come. College did nothing for him. My guess is they passed him thru to get rid of him because of the booze and drugs and he set a bad example. Anyone that would vote for a candidate that belonged to an anti-american church with a racist pastor who hates whites is just as bad as the pastor. Also, Obama having close ties to Ayers and Ayres two underground dogs who were involved in a bombing. Maybe your drinking too much.

I don’t think the debate changed anyone’s mind. If folks don’t know who the candidates are by now they haven’t been paying attention. All the debate did was re-inforce already held opinions by each candidate’s supporters…I just wish this whole primary season was over so we could all rest up for the general election.

I think ABC did a great job with last night’s debate. They skewered both candidates equally and watched them turn on the spit.
Both candidates will lie, cheat, and steal to get elected. That’s what politics is all about. It doesn’t bother me as long as the job gets done.
I think Obama will make a good president in 8 years but he hasn’t shown me he is ready for prime time yet. I would feel much more comfortable vvoting for him if there were 50 books about his life already published.
As it is now I am really worried about some of his friends and associates. I can’t imagine associating with anyone who has ever advocated bombing let alone done it and killed people. I was truly shocked that Obama brushed that association off as a “distraction.”
I really want to like Obama since there is a 50% chance he will be our next president. I hope and pray that there are no other skeletons in his closet that would force me to vote for McCain in November. While I deeply admire McCain he is too out of touch with the American Middle Class to be an effective president.

Divided we fall-right into the Republicans lap. I would like to point out other then me stating Bill lying, where did I put down Hillary? You Hillary people are constantly negative attacking just like her. I said it before and I will say it again if she manages to STEAL this nomination I would have to vote for the lesser of 2 evils. In case you’re wondering that is Hillary, but only by a slim margin.

Geevil,
Good analysis.
Thanks

This was not an attack against Obama, the media was bringing up the MAJOR concerns that many of us have that Obama is NOT a trustworthy individual. I don’t understand how anyone could trust a man that has been with this pastor for so many years amongst so much other dirty laundry. He is all talk and we will all be sorry if he gets elected. Hillary is in this for the people and she has the experience we need – VOTE FOR HILLARY!! She is the only one who will truly change this country and we need her desperately.

Obama was disappointment and Hillary did great. Keep it up HILL.

Fantastic Job Hillary!
She is the Best for the Job of President!

Now,,when ABC tried to help Democrat party to prepare on the GE, Obama supporters start to threaten many things.
What about many many months Obama on the honey moon with CNN,MSNBC etc??
ABC please be strong, Charlie, George ..appreciate your works.
We still behind you guys.
Keep on working…

“It is well known that college students and college grads typically support Obama. Yet many who lack intelligence suggest that if you support Obama you are a robot. That is hillarious”
WHAT AN ELITIST COMMENT TO MAKE!
By the way, it’s hilarious, not “hillarious.”

Kay – Obama is an effeminate teleprompter sort fellow.

Gary – Terrorists? Does the name Ayers sound familiar? Well, ask Obama.

Mark Kraft – So Iran is NOT building nukes? And Russia is NOT helping?

you don’t need an internet poll to know who won the debate last night. If one Obama supporter can give me a concrete solution to a problem that America faces that Obama answered with his OWN ideas without stumbling or just rewording what hillary said then I will give you that he had an OK performance. Come on guys, when Hillary doesn’t do well we admit it. She had a wonderful perforamce last night and you have to give her that. I’m sorry to dissapoint you, I know its hard to see Mr. Obama fumble, but come next Tuesday you’ll see him loose in PA by 15% so you better get used to it. My blogs normally aren’t like this but after all of this bs media bias its about time that he got pummeled.
GO HILLARY

I thought she did great, too. Finally, someone in the media grilled Obama on his lack of judgment. Obama has gotten a free pass for too long and kudos to ABC for a good debate.

Typical white people, clinging to antipathy for people who are not like them. No, No, No, G*d Dam* America! Hillary ain’t never been called a n*ger. This is the first time I have been proud of my country.
The US will NEVER allow this racist in the White House!

All that happened in the debate last night was that obama was shown to be ineffective. He did this to himself. No One person did this to obama.
Now I read where his followers want to have George S and Charles G fired. Am I reading this correctly? This was a public event. Obama did poorly – you don’t have the guts to blame obama, for then you will see feet of clay, but you want Charles Gibson fired? You followers are very truly sick in the head and this is what a cult will do to you. You obama followers are no different than the cult just torn down in Texas – same type of thinking.
I have never heard of anything so insipid in my life – you don’t like what you have seen that obama did to himself. You really wanted George and Charles to bash Clinton and you would have praised them right? You followers need a cult shrink that can change your way of thinking. OMG I can’t believe I am reading stuff like this. Maybe the followers should all get together, take obama, his wife, and his preacher and his other Anti-American associates and move to Africa where he can wear his Muslim cloths and be your president. I don’t think this will be welcome in America as it is being proved right this minute.

I think Hillary was great.
Obama was stupid.

Like the other Democrat on the Fence I am exhausted by the nonsense. I no longer can stand to watch, hear, or think about our sorry excuse for a news media. Can I tell you I minored in Journalism. I’m done with newstainment…. I’ve been watching C-SPAN mostly anyway. If Senator Obama is not at the top of the Democratic ticket, I’m done with the Democratic Party – seriously – done!

great posts jacksmith

This coming from the most disgraced president of modern times….at least other presidents were involved in real scandal! This red faced nut was brought down over a lie revolving a blow, what a total loser. I wouldn’t bask in any compliment from him if I were Hillary.
