Obama Hints He Sees Imbalance in the Way the Press Covers McCain

So, it’s perfectly fine for Obama to have “concerns” but if it’s Clinton, it’s called “whining?”
I guess then, that’s it’s fine to have a sexist media, but not a racist media.
There is no difference! Both are terrible and should not be tolerated!

It’s all about HOW you do it. These are legitimate concerns and comments. McCain’s campaign is rife wife corrupt ties and schemes on public financing and the media acts like he is a long lost buddy. Can’t wait for that 1st debate.

ahhhh i love it.. it sure didnt take obama very long, considering he technically isnt the cAnidate yet, to start the “oh poor me” bull##@@. give me a break.. you could have waited a LITTLE longer before you started whining, i mean, what are you gonna come up with when you actually start debatiing him?! dont waste all of it so soon.. thats like starting a one mile race in a dead sprint..

What a joke! When the boyz club at MSNBC was making fun of Clinton and the Obama fan club was selling “bros before hoes” T-shirts, I never heard a single word of complaint from this elitist snob. Now that the shoe is on the other foot, all of a sudden complaints about bias in the media are legit rather than whining? Give me a break. If you can’t take the heat “sweetie” get out of the kitchen. This is yet another reason why this Democrat is not voting for Obama.

well first of all, what do you really expect obama to talk about?? his experience on the issues?? ok, so that takes up a half an hour, then what?? im pretty sure we all already know where he stand s on the issues, and we all know where mccain stands on the issues. so really, it all comes down to the mudslinging and the B.S. that americans really cant stand. who needs campaign reform though right?? i mean, its only going to cost between one and a half and two BILLION dollars to elect a president. i mean, what else could that money really be spent on right??

Aahhaaaaa. Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha! Oh this is rich. Really, I have decided…I hate this guy for sure. I saw him and Michelle at a rally, they encouraged us to vote for the “First African American”, as one, I’m not easily manipulated by race. This takes the cake. He wants kit glove treatment all the way and there are the idiots out there who do what he says. Invasion of Body Snatchers: “Why do you speak ill of Obama? You obviously have not been taken over, follow me.” “No! You people are WHACKED big time! HILLARY, HILLARY, HILLARY!”

It’s pretty clear by now that Barack Obama is running a defensive (some would say whining) campaign. While it may not be the complete picture that is being painted thus far I think it’s fair game to assume that a large proportion of Americans would agree.
Considering that the majority of the MSM is clearly “in the tank” for Barack Obama I cannot understand today’s complaint. True, they have somewhat subjected him to some scrutiny thus far (Rezko, Wright, Michelle Obama, Hamas) the counter to that is that the MSM is more than happy to “spin” these events in Obama’s favor.
Regarding Keating 5, this matter was already settled in the Senate years ago. His involvement was minimal and nearly 100,000 dollars was returned to the United States Treasury. However, unlike Obama’s characterization of this matter, McCain continues to face scrutiny over this event not only from the MSM, but from extremist factions on the left and the right.
Finally, Mr. Obama stated, “I would expect that the press will submit him to the same scrutiny that they submitted me [to].” It is incorrect for him to use the past tense of the word, submitted, since the scrutiny that Mr. Obama should face and will face is far from over. The American public has many questions that they will submit to Mr. Obama which he will have to face until the general election.

Response to Jackson, there are more scandals related to Mccain and his wife than Obama. Do don’t worry, time will come to stripe down Mccain down to dust.

The “Vote for Change” reregistration drive and the “Obama Organizing Fellows”
program are two things that the GOP and McCain should really worry about. This is not 2004. The old rules and divisions
are fading fast.
I already see a trend for McCain – the Maverick – Bush makes ignorant comments regarding “Appeasement” in Israel and McCain backs up Bush’s statement. McCain then goes before the NRA (Introduced by Karl Rove) talking about Democrats lack of support for the second amendment. He is taking up the Republican lines to shore up his numbers. The GOP is a sinking ship and a proponent of failed economic, social, environmental, and diplomatic policies.
This will be an easy decision when voters see Obama and McCain side by side in a debate – the choice will be very clear.
Obama 2008

BENJAMIN…
see theres the problem.. you’re leaving it up to other americans to try to swing your vote one way or the other??!! it has NOTHING to do with what i, or the nextt preson tells you.i think thats a huge problem in america today. NO BODY THINKS FOR THEMSELVES ANYMORE. listen to the canidates talk about the issues, see how they have backed that up in the past, and then decide on who fits your beliefs and values best. if there are people on the fence between barack obama,( the most liberal voting record in the senate) and john mccain (not a HUGE conservative, but lightyears away from the socialistic obama) you just shouldnt be able to vote. im not saying that any of the canidates are who i want, i cant believe we couldnt come up with something better than this, but i knew who i was voting for months ago. i just dont understand how people could be on the fence between these two?! they have TOATLLY differnet values and beliefs on governments role for the country.

For Josh in Seattle and everyone else: “But in that initial bid for political office, Obama quickly mastered the bare-knuckle arts of Chicago electoral politics. His overwhelming legal onslaught signaled his impatience to gain office, even if that meant elbowing aside an elder stateswoman like Palmer.” Chicago Tribune

Obama is right about the coverage, he does get too much and McCain doesn’t get enough. Obama will not sit down and talk with the gun totin haters that support Hillary, why would he sit down and talk to Iran or terrorists?

Boris and Benjamin are just two more of the Obama staffers at their post to counterattack. But to both of them, we know how to read, know how to read Obama and make sure we don’t punch that name by mistake in November.

Hillary will win the popular vote and would be a much superior president.

For the record; People don’t have to be highly educated to know crap when they see, smell or hear it.

It’s unfortunate that this election is coming down to race, and little else. Our only hope is that, by November, Americans will have a better picture of Obama’s POLITICS, which are a LOT more important (and scary) than his race. We need to think about the CANDIDATE (and his/her philosophies), not his/her ethnicity. The sad part is that by November, it will be too late for Hillary Clinton, the best remaining candidate in either party.

Republicans just can’t stand it that Obama will be the next president. They want someone who is a republican to further ruin the country. We are good and fed up with republicans who want to privatize social security and make things harder for retirement. Republicans can’t be trusted to have the best interests of average Americans. Obama is a true christian, not a phoney christian like George Bush. Obama will deal fairly and honestly with all legislators and work on getting the best solutions for problems we face. Now is not the time to trust one more republican when it has been republicans who have brought our country to despair.

Just a quick note to those of you who are posting book lenght discussions – some of us can’t read.

“But in that initial bid for political office, Obama quickly mastered the bare-knuckle arts of Chicago electoral politics. His overwhelming legal onslaught signaled his impatience to gain office, even if that meant elbowing aside an elder stateswoman like Palmer.”
Obama was hand picked by Palmer, to succeed her as she ran for higher office. It didn’t work out and she came back and asked Obama to quit the race. He would not just quit, he had agreed to run, gathered finance, and planned his campaign. She tried to get on the ballot
with a petition, Obama had her Petition
examined officially and it was found that many of the names were not valid .
This is no reason to disparage Obama,
or to imply misogyny. As is the case today, Obama is in it to win it.
Yes we Can! (All of us)

If Obama wants to be reelected in 2012 he needs once president to invest a lot in EDUCATION_ There are too many dumb people out there_ But I must reckon I didn’t know they can use computer to post comments

WELL SAID BEN… we should just plain and simply not vote for obama because his ridiculous views on the american governments role for us and around the world, and his lack of experience on the issues he would face as president. not because he is black. well said.

Obama has nerve.
The press has given him the most favorable coverage of anyone.
They should let it rip on him now, for him being an idiot.

Oh please. This is far from whinning. This is calling it how it is. McCain has been getting a free pass in the media and you all know it. Why? Because he’s old, and I do mean OLD, news. I’m not concerned though. He’s been playing third fiddle to Obama and Clinton. But once Clinton disappears in a few weeks, McCain will move up the the number 2 spot. Ironically, it’s where he’ll finish in November too.
OBAMA ’08

The point of the article which thinking citizens can take away was that Mr. Obama was ASKED a question, to which he replied. Those of us here who wish to make it seem as though the impetus was Obamaa’s to raise a concern about unfair press coverage are dreaming. From what I’ve seen of the Republican and Democratic campaign, it was a fair question to be asked of Obama, but again, he was speculating an answer.
Let’s all try to READ and not only READ INTO these articles the media posts.

obama would snitch out his own mother if it got him the nom. this is not a man. this is a whining political punk.

BEN..
even if the average american WANTED the government to “babysit” us, and have control of EVERY aspect of our lives,(which they dont) how in the HELL do you think mr. obama is to pay for any of the things he wishes to do?? ya know, considering our goverment has us just a “little bit” in debt right now? you think we should EXPAND government??!! i mean, even if you were an idealist (which you obviously are), you think you would at least look at it from an economic standpoint and say.. “hmmmmm, where does the money come from for all these ideas of his?” the answer: WE DONT HAVE THE MONEY TO DO WHAT HE WANTS TO DO. besides the little, minor fact. that americans dont WANT bigger government. they screw up everything they get their hands on, yet theres people who vote for more of it.. hmmm, makes sense…LOL

Ben,
Seah must have been on vacation in the weeks before the Indiana and North Carolina primary b/c the media gave Obama everything BUT a free ride.
Rev. Wright pasted on every major network and article.
Results: Obama wins North Carolina by 14.7% and loses Indiana (similar demographics as Ohio and PA) slighty by 1.4%
Neither Clinton or Obama have recieved a free ride from the media (Bosnia-gate, Bitter-gate, Rev. Wright-gate, Bill Clinton-gate etc). John McCain has.

also, i never said i was a huge mccain supporter. im not. i disagree with some of his views. BUT, that being said, he is lightyears away from obama, who has no experience in this at all. i dont want on the job training when we are talking about people who want to kill us. mccain will be alot stronger with national defense. plain and simple.

Tim,
You know that $800 billion that’s been spent on that little war in Iraq? I’m sure if we scale back on that just a bit, it might help cover a few programs Obama has proposed. Just a thought.

I’d like to know what happened to the mccain of 2000, when he would be man enough to question his own party if they were headed in the wrong direction.(i.e. tax breaks for the rich) Now he’s like every other wimpy republican. He wants to distance himself from the worst president in history but will have a hard time of it since he voted with bush 95% of the time. mc-more-war does not stand a chance in the fall. Obama 2008 will be Great!!!

JIMMY..
ok, well said. im sure that would be a good start. but there has to be balance. if we pull out, and we give up on the very REAL war on terroism, like obama wants to do immedeately( which would be a bigger disaster of decisions that bush EVER made) what happens to all the terrorist that want to kill us?? what happens to all of them? u think there just going to say thank you, and give up on their plans?!?! im not saying i agree with what bush has done, contrary to what ben thinks and wants to try to portray, but WE ARE THERE. if its handled properly, it can be won.

and by the way ben, i said above if you wanted to keep playing the IMMATURE game… thats the only reason i brought up carter. because youre trying to associate every conservative to bush. quit playing games, and ill talk politics and spin the issues right around you.

I’ve wondered why most of the press hasn’t picked up on the story about how McCain rewarded some of his big supporters with a land deal that will make them millions:
McCain Pushed Land Swap That Benefits Backer
http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp
-dyn/content/article/2008/05/08/AR200805
0803494.html?nav=rss_politics/congress

The money for Iraq was NEVER there.
The whole war has been paid for with plastic.
Which means that even if that money had been used for social programs (not the government’s responsiblity unlike military spending)…
THOSE would have been paid for with plastic too.

BEN…
the world was a differnet place when clinton was there for starters. then due, partly, to his incompetency, 9/11 happened. its been different ever since, and will continue to be that way whether you realize it or not. im sure if clinton were still in office, everything would be the same right? no 9/11, a stable economy, no energy crisis? everything would be juuust fine. and im sure if john kerry was elected, we would have dealt with the “pesky” terrorism problem, and it would have been over with a year after 9/11. the fact is, that our goverment has put us in SERIOUS debt. i mean serious. and you cant blame just democrats or republicans. they are all to blame. so even if there is compromise, you think that we can afford any of the ideas he has?! socialized health care? free college? continuing the fraud of a welfare program? not concerned with fixing the social security issue? the list goes on and on. then he thinks we should punish the oil companies and set up “reasonable” profit boards for companies??!! are you kidding me?! all of a sudden, the government is going to tell us how much money we can make??!! wow, im getting upset so i need to stop at that…

McCain will ask the insurance companies to lower prices on health insurance to help working people. He will also give a gas tax holiday to give a little relief to working people. McCain will secure Iraq before leaving that country. Obama will pull out and then have to return costing more tax money. McCain knows his foreign policy. Obama don’t have a clue.

Poor Obama…. the media didn’t offer you a more comfy pillow?

McCain is a war hero. What has Obama done for his country for the last 20 years except go to church?

Does Obama know that MSM picked McCain as well as him?
What’s the fuzz about?

Jordan, she’s the candidate that will win the nomination and become president.Obama will become a washed up pool hustler. This is all speculation of course.

I am a democrat and I am so sick of Obama and most of the democratic leadership. Obama is a whiny, weak candidate and he is most likely going to win the nomination. If anyone criticizes him they are being unfair or racist. Hillary is stronger on national defense, the economy, and everything else and yet it appears that Obama is going to win the nomination. While Hillary has some baggage, her baggage is a different kind from what Obama is carrying. No one could with a straight face question Hillary’s patriotism. Obama’s patriotism, weakness on national security, associations, and so on will be fair game for the republicans–as they are for a lot of democrats. Yet even though Hillary probably could win the election, the democratic party leaders are all circling to protect Obama. It is disgusting.

so none of you read the article, you just read the title and derived some meaning from that…
lol, this is why the republicans will lose…learn to read people
also your actions are the reason hillary lost the primaries, she issued attacks and changed the rules of the game at every turn, and she found her “voice” (the one that she could convince poeople is her voice one of many) too late in the game.
plus mccain is loved by the media, he claims they are his base…
so if someone brings up wright, they better bring up hagee, if someone wants to bring up obama talking to foreign countries, then they better talk about mccain and hamas.
PS look up appeasement before trying to use it in the way that the bush mccains are trying to redefine the word.
talking isnt appeasement, and when they sited that “senator” and hitler, realize what that senator did…
that way you dont end up getting owned by someone like chris matthews on national tv LOL

Ben, Howdy McCain says he can’t remember which restroom, or even where Boise is. Could you and Larry e-mail further instructions?

It’s okay for him to point out unequal press, but if it is sexist and slanted ( such as one of todays articles here on ABC) toward Hillary ( as much of it is) that just goes unnoticed. The press has made this election for him. Whine whine whine.

susan,
obama won fair and square, you can not say someone who has lost is more electable that is lunacy.
“he won, but everyoen knows im better”
talk about ego maniac, i feel sorry for the next woman who wants to run for president…
when she will get questions like, “will you know when to quit” “do you think that its harder for women to walk away from something that could mean so much, and will you be able to walk away unlike hillary did?”
hillary thanks you susan,
and remember if mccain gets elected bye bye womens rights, might as well take a time machine back 30 years. Hopefully you have all boys, and that they are all gay so that they dont get some girl pregnant and ruin their and the girls lives.

A truly incredible complaint! This man has been the press “darling” ever since he gave his “bringing the country together” speech the first time, and with no one demanding to know how one so far out on the political extreme edge could even see, let alone understand, those on the middle let alone the other edge. His idea of “uniting” appears to be making everyone else get in line behind him. That is relevant to this complaint – he can tolerate no differences. It is all about him and his greatness! Laughable.

nope hagee wasnt his spiritual adviser, but he did go and ask if he would endorse his campaign…
so mccain believe that catholic religion is the great whore?
that isreal is where Armageddon is going to be fought?
and that katrina was an act of god to whipe out homosexuals?
pretty good guy to ask for an endorsement from…
obama moved away from wright and had hoped that he could move away from wright and his terrible views.
when pushed obama had to push back…
same with bush and mccains stupid attack. finally the gop isnt going to be dealing with a candidate who rolls over and takes it up the tail pipe

I read the headline about Senator Obama stating that the press coverage on Senator McCain and thought — “The guy is stepping up to the plate and asking the press to stop being such obvious Obama Girls”. And his statue raised in my eyes.
No, the fellow who has yet to get a question that is above the level of his favorite color is saying that his opponent, who gets slammed for wearing the wrong color socks, is getting special treatment. That takes lying and exaggeration to a whole new level. Even in a Presidential Campaign where truth takes a holiday that statement should be fodder for every comedian, political pundit and morning show host. If they have any guts, and want to regain a little of their credibility, each one of them ought to start their next broadcast with “Come on Barack, even we can’t believe that one. Get back to issues — like who the President talks to or your favorite color.”
It is not even the campaign yet and the Freshman Senator is posturing just like a seasoned Federal Employee.

I’d like to know what happened to the mccain of 2000, when he would be man enough to question his own party if they were headed in the wrong direction.(i.e. tax breaks for the rich) Now he’s like every other wimpy republican. He wants to distance himself from the worst president in history but will have a hard time of it since he voted with bush 95% of the time. mc-more-war does not stand a chance in the fall. Obama 2008 will be Great!!!

The man who has benefitted tremendously from a media’s infatuation has the NERVE to say that the media coverage has been biased? What a piece of work.
When the history of this election is written, the media bias will be a major point.
And Obama is an idiot for thinking he’s gotten less favorable coverage than McCain. Wait till the general…

What first made me doubt Obama was his pretending to be a different kind of politician. I’ve heard that too many times and when I hear it from a politician, I know it is a story and they are, in fact, more a typical politician than not. Now you are watching him move more to the center and change his positions ever so slightly to try and capture the moderates that he needs to win. If that isn’t a typical politician, I don’t know what it is. Obama is qualified to be the opening act for the politician who is really qualified to be president.

Why dont the look at his past scandals ?
Why dont you get to the bottom of his collaborating with the enemy
Or the truth of how his arms where broke not by torture but by ejecting from the plane in his own words he said that to French television reporter Francois Chalais – January 1968
Also said his treatment was very good !
Straight talk ? OR lies!
http://www.vietnamveteransagainstjohnmccain.com/cin_declassified_landing.htm
Why not get to the bottom of his involvment with airbus winning our defence air tanker contracts losing america jobs…
Why havent they gone after his campaign staff full of scandal ridden lobbyists far worse then the Clinton team ?
Why hasnt the media gone after him like they have Clinton and Obama ??
Why does the media need to be told to do their Jobs ?

Obama thin resume? Well if you’re talking scandal resume, he doesn’t come close to matching McCain. McCain was one of the Keating 5, was condemned by the UN for his cheating Native Americans in Arizona and recently rewarded some of his supporters with a sweetheart land swap deal. Yep, ol John has a thick resume.

According to the news, Obama’s rally in Portland, OR today drew 50,000….one of the largest crowds he’s ever had.

AP Newswire – “During the meeting with seniors, Obama was asked why McCain seems to have avoided the enormous press scrutiny the Democrats have gotten.”
Ohh, I see. Obama was *asked* this pointed question. One could have figured there was more to the story.

You can measure the concern and fear among the Republicans by the amount of posting they do on blogs. Their desperation is showing. They have a less than wonderful candidate, so they are all over the place attacking, attacking, attacking in the vain hope to distract folks from the truth about McCain.
Many see through this simple and ineffective ploy, and for those who don’t, they would have voted Republican simply because that is what they always do, and they don’t care about the quality of the candidate so much as they do the ‘R’ after the name.
This effort to flood the internet with defense for McCain and attacks against Obama and veiled threats about disrupting the Democratic party because the ‘wrong’ candidate is going to be nominated is the last gasp of a dying campaign. Pity the poor Republicans who have to champion a candidate like McCain.

Bruce, Right on !
Only Obama and Ron Paul will restore our Constitution.
The rest are for business as usual.
Vote for Obama or Paul, depending on your party.
They are the only two with respect for our Constitution. The rest are in it for the power and dont care about you.

We might as well determine the best qualified to be the leader by how many people who come to listen to him. Might as well as that appears to be why he is going to be the democratic nominee. He learned how to speak to crowds and get the crowd moving from one of the best. However, I don’t think the general electorate is as easily moved.

well McCain has been around the political scene a lot longer than Obama and more people know him better. McCain has even put out effort to talk to the younger demographic through comedy as SNL last night or Jon Stewart. I think people need to remember humorous as he can be hs is still an Arizona conservative but in some ways more independent minded. Key is whom he surrounds himself with as advisors as they are likely to drive policy. If Obama starts this inequality questioning to strongly it will adversely affect him as he is also benificiary of a lot of positive press till just recently, thanks in large part to the bruising Hillary campaign and now possibly Bush shennanigans as he backs McCain. The American People is whom this whole campaign is unfair to.

…..the numbers have now been updated….80,000 people were at the Portland,OR rally…..the biggest one Obama has ever held.

Reading the comments on this board just illustrates how ignorant you people really are. It just shows that you did not even READ the article. Obama DID NOT complain about media coverage. One of his supporters asked him a question and Obama gave an understanding and fair minded answer.
Furthermore, for all of you who claims that Obama has gotten a free ride, his name has been dragged through the dirt by the media with the Rezco, Wright, and bitter scandals, and he was able to hold on. McCainhas many demons in his past that has not been brought to light yet. Demons such as calling his wife a c**t in public, his own hate-mongering pastor problems, Keating Five, and loobyist problems that would Make Hillary Clinton look like a saint. And these are just to name a few.

Is he kidding me. No candidate in my life time has ever been so adored by the press. He sends a tingle down Chris Matthews leg, Olbermann flies into irrational rants when Obama is challenged by misguided voters. The media has handed him the democratic nomination and they will certainly bury McCain now. Not only is Obama a Freud we now know he is a whiner.

Jim,
READ THE FREAKING ARTICLE!!!! SHOW ME WHERE OBAMA COMPLAINS ABOUT COVERAGE…

McCain’s health is not vetted.
1. No medical report out yet, although promised on April 15th, and supposedly due out again on day of the Oregon election.
2. Nothing in the report will cover the new fangled testing available for incipient Alzheimer’s.
They dont dare go there. He has a reputation in the Senate as “not a detail man.” That’s polite code for, he cannot remember anything we tell him from one day to the next. Where’s Liebermann?

ILL SAY IT AGAIN
OBVIOUSLY ALL YOU IDIOTS DIDNT READ THIS ARTICLE
lol failure!

Hit a sensitive nerve, eh?
I have read the EXACT same comments on several blogs–yeah, I know, Republicans are simply too busy to bother–but the fact is that some folks on this and other blogs are simply repackaging the Republican talking points in a vain effort to derail the candidacy of the next president–one of the two Democratic candidates. That’s why the blogs are being overrun with hate mongerers and story-tellers and links to ridiculous sites that re-inforce misinformation and hatred.
Incredible. Too bad the Republicans can’t accept the truth, that after the Bush disaster they have become a tarnished and unelectable party, made up of folks who hide behind the label to obscure their hatred of America, of its middle class, of civil liberties, of racial equality, etc.
We can only hope that the next eight years of Democratic sensibilities right the crooked ship of state that the Republicans have sailed.

bhrandon,
The reason that Hillary will NOT WIN Oregon is because there are far too many EDUCATED, LATTE SIPPING, PRIUS DRIVING, STARBUCKS GOING ELITIST living in the state. You know, those same peoplr she trashed while she was in Pennsylvania and Indiana. And also those same voters that she will need to retain her Senate seat in New York. let us hope that they have a short memory.

Obama passes a little wind at his rallys and his supporters faint.

Well Catleya,
With All due respect, The Clinton-Obama debate is about over. He is less than 20 pledge delegates away from obtaining the majority of pledged delegates that were in the offering, Since that will likely secure him more Super Delegate support, the primary race will be virtually over and then we can focus on old John Mac Daddy Cain.

lol its true democratsunited
she destroyed her base in a vein attempt to try to make a comeback, and this is what is so sad about Hillary. She thought she should win this thing she thought it was in the bag.
Suddenly she realizes her message is completely out of touch with america and that this sure thing is all of a sudden in jeapordy.
instead of defining herself, she decided to go on the attack, and then start playing change the rules so that i win, and then finally she hit something with america as her campaign found a message that would help her
she paints the non elitist as an elitist meanwhile turning it around so that she the elitist was actually a non elitist
Now oregon has a nice hub of well educated people, but there are a lot of rural people here too.. clintons new base.
but it wont matter because those people are all very hard core republicans
and i think limbaugh has little effect here in oregon.
it will be sad when hillary realizes that she has destroyed her real base after this is all over

I have an idea… all of us,true Hillary SUPPORTERS, should switch to new Party, maybe Indepenedent Party, and start all over.How any real DEMOCRAT, can vote for this liar. It will be something to celebrate, when Obama loose. advise for OBAMA HUSSEIN BARAK-HAMAS BODY, instead wining, He should start packing!!!, and live this race still smiling, because it will get dirty!!! He has no chance , and is about time to exit. McCain will be OK, and Obama -junior has His nose in clouds for all 15 monts, it is time to get Him down to earth. Hillary was way to nice, time for a real spanking!!!

oh i didnt say they werent welcome, i think had they ran a different campaign the clintons would have enjoyed a different kind of atmosphere here in oregon…
they love them, but they are tired of them and their old politics

Democrats unite, Dont worry about Senator Clinton in NY. We will continue to vote for the most intelligent, courageous candidate currently in the race. She has no problem with her support in NY.

If He cannot stand in the heat, then get out the kitchen. In the past, Obama used to have a free pass from the pass compare to Clinton. He is not tough enough to be a president.

How about this, fake Democrats: Democrats flee from racial hatred and ethnic hatred. The very fact that so many of you so-called Democrats show your true Republican colors announce your duplicity.
You can argue that Hillary’s approach to implementing the DEMOCRATIC platform appealed to you more than Obama’s approach to implementing it, but as a Democrat–a true Democrat who understands the philosophy of the Democratic party–you would never base your argument on hatred.
Go back to the all white cave where you find folks who share your Neaderthal outlook.

2 things.
FIRST: there is no way in hell that obama is criticizing the press for being easy on anyone….lol.
SECOND: since the media has obamas sultry scent all over them, expect to see keating 5 stories all over the place. obama was just speaking for what they are about to now do…lol

Obama looks like the kid standing in the corner while the teacher tells all her preschoolers to play fair.

BlueMax372,
Shouldn’t you be over on FreeRepublic where all of you other freeperville GOP racist slimeballs live? You guys are loosing your grip ever so slowly on this country and real Americans are slowly taking it back. Pretty soon, the olnly thing you will have for a leader is that drug addict Limabaugh on Talk Radio.

no democrat would vote against a democrat to vote for bush again just because their candidate lost
in fact its almost as bad as people going out and wasting a vote on hillary for rush limbaugh,
you are mocking the many men who fought to give you a country that you could vote in… you are obviously unpatriotic
vote for mccain its the same thing!

Anders Scooper You are so fake your so for McCain its clear as day !
A democrat would say crud like you say!

We’ve had 16 months of Hillary bashing by the media and Obama is complaining about his media coverage? Whine on Mr. Obama. Eventually this country will wake up and realize the White House is not the place for a whiner.

It is useless to tell some of these folks to read the article–most of them apparently can’t read to begin with, and those few who do can’t comprehend.
Besides, they are so on target with the Republican talking points that they aren’t even posting here about this particular article. They are posting to dis Obama because they are terrified of him winning…..as they should be, because he’s going to return the US to the great nation it was before the Republicans did their best to destroy it.

Kitty,
I think its that they can read but just make up their own stories in their head like think that Clinton has a chance when the whole world knows its over!
She lost fair and square they dont want to believe so they dift of to fantacy!
I feel bad for them but Clinton screwed it up for herself by running as the inevitable!
You guys had a war to not have kings and queens why did she think that would work ?

ANother Aussie,
You know, I don’t blame Clinton Supporters as much as I blame Clinton. SHE is the one who has them “clinging” to false hopes. I think that it is terrible to continue to raise the hopes of your supporters after it has become crystal clear that you have no chance in hell at winning this thing.
As a result, her supporters are blind to the fact that she is now over 20 million dollars in debt, has fallen significantly behind in the delegate count and has fewer popular votes. Even when you include MI and FL she is still behind on both counts because her campaign is not counting the caucus votes. This race was over in late February, and all she has done was hardened the hearts of the democratic party, made her supporters more “bitter”, and has given them false hopes.

Fakebama
what does obama want to change in the white house?
well for starters,
the bullcrap foreign policy that has been the bushes excuse for a foreign policy,
he wants to protect the environment, reduce green house emissions, alternative energy sources, global warming
he wants to GET US OUT OF THIS TERRIBLE WAR THAT,
how many people have lost their lives for nothing, how much money have we thrown down the drain, remember when bush said gas prices would actually drop….
THE WAR IN IRAQ IS JUST WHAT MCCAIN SAYS IT IS, A WAR FOR OIL
obama wants to redefine how washington works, from eliminating terrible spending, to becoming a more transparent government one where the people can be involved in.
he wants to work to rebuild america not only at home, but in the eyes of hte world, to not continue this pandering to rich oil buddies, but to become the great nation that we are
Finally the world can start to believe in the united states again, our standing has long suffered with bush
i will finally be able to say with pride that im from america when i travel abroad instead of trying to skirt the issue our outright lying and saying im from canada
Now fakebama what does mccain want to change about bushs policies?
oh….wait nothing!
and hes going ot magically win the war! give us all billions of jobs nad cash and create a nice environment that is clean…oh all in his first term
first term?
hell be dead

HPBoston,
As I have said to many of you others who apparantly don’t like to read,
READ THE FREAKING ARTICLE!!!! Show me where Obama complains.

The Kevin James segment should be required watching for all — this is the typical Republican, screaming at the top of his lungs in some sort of manic attempt to persuade, not through logic or rational thought but by drowning out reason.
The same is true of 98% of the posters here: they rant and they rave and they lie and they distort, all in an effort to disguise the fact they don’t have a clue.

DemocratsUnited
Thats how we feel over here! Its sad that she will straight out lie to them to help bring down her debt…
I still though dont get how they believe it ??
The Math is the Math.
Shes just making it harder for the party and ideas issues and things she claims to care about !

Vicky… did someone hit You upside head lately!!!?????, what You are writing is absolutly nonsens, You should be ashame of Your self, You are just as empty as Obama speaches. Soon, You will learn about Your true OBAMA HUSSEIN, Oh yes You will, so who You are going to blame, US.?? We saw this was coming . Grow up, before You get to old to undarstend anythings.

coming from a mccain fan lol

tabitha
i have to SO agree…unfair press coverage coming from O’s camp?
how ironic!!!
maybe the chicago boys have learned
there’s richer people than they in this game
and msnbc and the cable news guys know mccain and the repos have TONS of cash to also spend on their airwaves
so …its OUGHT TO BE INTERESTING
ha ha ha!
obama think media is unfair????
what a turnaround

Unbiased,
I saw that clip of Meet The Press. They were laughing at the ridiculousness of her claims. Hillary is playing the only card a losing politcican has… Which is to blame the media. She wasn’t blaming the media when she was ahead by 20 points before this process began. She wasn’t blaming the media when Obama was dragged through the Wright and Bitter scandals. She wasn’t blaming the media after that sham of an ABC debate when they brought up every scandal from Obama’s side and barely mentioned Bosnia. They even “appeased” her on the Bill Richardson question when they said “I know you don’t want to talk about that issue, so let me just ask…”. Why did they not extend the same courtesy to Obama? Where was all her media whining then? The media is reporting the facts. And the facts are that she CAN NOT CATCH OBAMA in the delegate count ergo, the race is over. That is why they were laughing. I was laughing too.

What is truly ridiculous is the fact that Obama just held a rally in front of 75,000 folks in Oregon and we have these Republican hate-mongerers dissing all those who support the guy. Hmmm. Let’s see, the largest McCain rally was about 150 strong, right? LOL.
Wonder where the Radar article on this is?

well brandon… You are very wrong, and I am not Republican, but Democrat( TOMORROW- INDEPENDANT)… rules were made by DNC < before primary, it shuld never be a such rule , each state MUST!!! have primary , just work with other states on date, and we would never have a such sensless, stupid
situation. It should never be a such thing, like penalty , because DNC said so!!!, stupid and those who did that should be dismiss from DNC!!!Hillary agree, but quickly realize, that it was a terrible mistake, Obama never admited anything, and especjally that He lost in both states. This is why he is so much against counting all votes. People in both states should not vote at all to punish DNC. We are talking about over 2 milion people. He went to talk to voters toFlorida, and what Florida told HIM "GET OUR A.. OUT FROM FLORIDA, SAME SHOULD HAPPEN IN MICHIGAN. YES!!!!!!!

KARLINO47 MICHIGAN and FLORIDA will be seated Barack didnt have his name on the ballot in Michigan and he didnt get to campaign in Folorida… Hillary agreed to the rules she agreed to the fact the face would be for plegede delegates until she realise she was loosing then she canged the rules…
She also said about twenty times the number that is needed to win this nomination and now that Obama is almost there she changes the rules again. No one buys it KARLINO47.
Hillary has lost it will all be clear for you on wensday.
I hope Hillary handles the lose like a champ and not a sore loser because that way madness lies!

The media said it was racist today when they should a man wearing a shirt with a monkey and underneath was a monkey. So what if Obama looks like a monkey. I remember people wearing shirts of BUSH saying he looks like a monkey.

monkey is a rascist term as is boy and niga to black people.
Obama is half black half white his family looks like the real america black white asian hawian polonesian.
Im an australian in australia and i know that…
So i think that makes you a fool Face Book

Another Aussie said ::: monkey is a rascist term as is boy and niga to black people.
You peice of trash. Everything to blacks is RACIST.

DemocratsUnited,
It would be great if she did. She has so much work to do to undo the damage she has done to Barack the party and her own reputation, but given what that wolfson guy said today I wont hold my breath.
It looks like she is thinking how she did with gore and kerry.. After 8 years of this you’d think she’d set abition aside and act in the interest of the nation… But I dont think you can count on that !

75k in portland oregon watched him speak
how insane is that? the people are speaking! The democrats are going to roll this thing right over the GOP and these fake hillary supporters that plague these boards!
Mccain better start taking some steroids because he aint going to be keep up with this steam engine
Obama is allowing us to have our voices heard! Finally a candidate who is ready for real change not only in washington but in the world
get involved people!

Obama has a Horrid adult past which will even be uncovered more if Heaven Forbid he becomes the nominee.It Shows alot of his Anti-American attitude. He has no good political record to stand on & his story of growing up so disavantaged on potroast & potatoes makes me sick. What a jerk! He grew up mostly in Hawaii with a Colleged Educated Mother & Grandparents for support. He also went to private schools. He’s also 1/2 white but by the way he talks you’d think he had black american slave roots instead of the african Kenyan roots of his muslim father. MCCain is way better to be President than Obama. No Obama in the WhiteHouse. Hillary would be the Best For President. But McCain will win if Obama is the nominee.

Hillary4Pres and Joyce et all the hate mongerers:
Get use to the fact that Barack Hussein Obama is going to be the next president, whether you and your racist friends like it or not. And you can complain all you want, you can start all the fake rumors you want, you can try to smear the guy all you want, you can lie about your original affliation, you can hide behind Hillary Clinton, you can do all that stuff, but we know who you really are: you are nasty folks who display bigotry, who spread hatred, and who are, by your very words, showing yourself to be anti-American. Take your noise to some other country where small minded and vicious people live.

Hussein Obama is not the nominee yet. And he is not electable , he is an empty suit.

KARLINO47 you are so wtupid you are boring! You seem interested in gay issues are you gay ? because there nothing wrong with being gay you know ?

another Aussie… You are just another ignorant as Obama Hussein is.
Not even feel sorry for You….

KARLINO47

Cant stand the heat ? What heat your weak ass statements ? lol
Yawn every time you post you only prove dumb folk can push a keyboard !

Yes Obama is Mulatte, but He dont like to talk about, He want to be call Afro American…He is ashame of His white color, WHY,?? because black people may stop supporting HIM??? Is He ashame of His “tipical ‘ white family,I gues He is! So, who is the racist??? I believe that answer is very simple!!!

Is mum is white his dad is black…
and when rascist folks like you look at him you see a black man… That how he was treated as a blackman.. Ive read his book it doesnt say he hated his white side he wanted to learn about his black side who wouldnt ? Did you lose a parent ?
Are you bi racial ?
Are you seen as one side of you history and do you have judgments made of you because of it ?
If not then shut the hel up !

KARLINO47 what country are you from what lauguage do you speak ?

anather aussie…Yes You can not stand , that I know what I am talking about, and all You doing is call me names, You are proving that You are just like Obama, an ignorant, sad person. Yes You are so sad and mean person, You dont know how to be happy. Look in to mirrow, what do You see, Scarry , yes???
I dont have to be nasty, telling what I know, but You are cooking ……
You can not take the heat, Hillary is right…
What You will call me next time. go by alfabet!!!

I watch every debate, I know what He said, You dont! Obama dont like to be call white, pay attention. After all He is Mulatte!

KARLINO47 your are a republican I think you go by the name donkey boy sometimes on you fox news blog! was it boring over there ?

another aussie… I didnt said that He renounced His mother or grand parents, but He try to avoid for 15 months, any conversation about His Family…. His pass witch He choose (last 21 years) is all about hate to whites and people of color. He love to be call black it is helping Him in fight for Presidency, just like Geraldine Ferraro said, didn SHE? He got himself a great Mentor? Mr.Wright.
Well I have to go, sorry , You will find someone else to take on, and call names, this is a part of Your character, You can not help Your self , If you can not be nasty, You are unhappy ,are all people in Australia are like You, I dont think so, I know few, I was in Australia.t. So long…

Obama isnt your karma… It will be what you put out her back 3 times harder!
It is coming your way!

Im not wishing anything on you I just believe you get what you put out times 3 and you have put out lie after lie….

When has Obama ever been questioned about Rezco or Bill Aires? The only questioning Obama got was when Wright was exposed but no one has got an answer from Obama about how he sat in the congregation for 20 years and never heard a peep. The MSM is so in Obama’s corner that they can’t even make a blog like this sound intelligent.

Obama has NOTHING to say!!
He is reduced to reacting to appeasement comments by Bush, campaign ads featuring his wife and the most pathetic complaint of all, that McCain’s not getting enough scrutiny.
Obama needs more press on McCain, so the reporters don’t get restless and continue to notice that he isn’t just off-message, he has NO MESSAGE.

I guess Obama is attempting to make sure that the press doesn’t hand over his pillow or throw him the first question in nearly every debate.
Snicker…

The problem is this crap about McCain being a war hero, and the media is afraid to put a glove on him. McCain did nothing heroic. He suffered along with many, many other Vietnam Vets who will never call themselves heroes. Get that stupid idea out of the discussion, and there’s absolutely no reason for McCain to be in politics.
