Go Obama Go!!! God Bless Obama. You have my full support.

With all the anti-women anti-black attitudes it is pretty clear that only Edwards can win for the democrats.

With all this rush to court women, who wants to bet there will be an Obama-Winfrey ticket? It's no accident Oprah is using her clout with all these mindless sheep-women to catapult her into a position of real power.

I would rank Obama a little above Bush…lol He sucks!!! Breath of fresh air, pleeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaase! He should be wearing a pink tutu. His wife has his spine, among other things… Honey… I need my stinky spine, are you done with it…lol GO RON PAUL

I am stunned at the level of misinformation, and people talking without knowing what they are talking about.

Obviously, since you post on this blog, you have access to the internet. Go to Clinton's web site and read her statements on issues and the transcripts of her speeches. Now go to Obamas web site and read. The make an informed decision. Make your own decision.

After doing this myself I have come to my own personal decision that Obama is far superior to Clinton in judgment and policy. Not even a close call for me. I don't want to wait for the future of the democratic party, I want the future to be TODAY. That is why I will vote for Obama.

Obama is a liar, he said he will send our military to Pakistan & Afghanistan not long ago, now he said he will end the war, nobody will believe you. Obama surprised me by his new speech "he would not be a perfect president". If it is true, then don't run for president, we have a perfect president in 2009. You told us you are ready for President for over 7 months, what made you change your insolent attitude? Did Oprah give you an advice?

Obama does not represent women wishes when he, at home at least, is stinky, does not do his bed, and is considered immature by his wife. Other things being equal, a woman doesnt want to vote for a politician with these personal bad habits.

Wow if those are the reasons you are using to choose who to vote for…that's well, that's really funny and sad! That one really made me laugh out loud!

Now, he's not only stink-y and snore-y, he's dopey, too.

Why are many of the black clergy not endorsing neither Hillary or Obama. Namly Charles Barron, Al Sharpton, Ed Towns, Rev Butts, Rev Youngblood and many more. Why are most of NY national stations avoiding the discussion of endorsements, namly: Kiss Fm and many more. Please Speak Up

I am young African American NYU student and voter,from Newyork NY. I think that both Obama and Hillary are disrespectful to the black community. Please dont assume that N.Y belongs to Senator Clinton and please dont assume that just because Senator Obama is Black that we (african American will simply vote for him) I would like to see a open debate between Hillary and Obama here in NY. This way we THE PEOPLE can really see who is for the people. Please dont take our vote for granted ( voters bt the ages of 20-30 yrs old) we are a mighty people, we are aware and alive. Senator Obama speak up!

I am an educated woman and i waill not vote Obama in any cost when i have an opportunity to vote woman for the president. I am not voting Hillary just for gender i believe she is smart, intelligent, experience and passionate person and the best candidate for the president. Obama is hype; it is very sad that his breath stinks, where gone
Hope for change, Obama and followers?

As we can see, the majority who took the time to give there opinion on this particular subject agree that Mr. Obama is a sane and honest man. I to agree that Mr. Obama is the right man to lead this country due to the fact that he isn't tainted by the politics of Washington, D.C.
It is imperitive that this Republic choose a compitent leader, for if we continue down this obscure road, we as a Nation of the People will let down other nations who look up to us for guidance and protection. While other Nations of the world will take advantage of our weakness (Sadly it's happening even as I am typing this message..)and extend there dark influence, ad ideas across the world.
Believe it or not, this Republic is holding civilization intact.

Senator Obama is not building support or edging up in the polls. He is alienating core Democratic Voters.

I support Senator Clinton and believe she best represents, right now, what this country needs. She has the most experience by any measure.

I see Senator Obama as the FUTURE of the Democratic Party, but not the NOW of the Democratic Party. However, the more strident and determined he has become in his daily attacks on Senator Clinton, the less likely I will EVER vote for him to lead this country.

Would Oprah please purchase Senator Obama a clue, so he doesn't wreck his future in politics?

It is not his time.

Sure, I want to vote for a piece of trash who is power hungry and has no self-respect. I see she scores well with "Less Educated" Democrats. Sure she does, those people like to stand by their men too. Lying, cheat like the lying cheat she stays with. I think they stay together so they don't have to testify against eachother on Whitewater and all the others. I know she is a fine example for young women everywhere—NOT. Go OBAMA

'Obama said he would not be a perfect president but will tell people where he stands and ask what they think.'

Really? In 2006 he was a cosponsor of the bill to end horse slaughter in the US. This year, he has thus far refrained from becoming a cosponsor. If he's not willing to publically endorse and fight for what 80% of the American people want right now (an end to horse slaughter) how will it be different should he be elected?

I am a proud and active member of Women for Obama and believe with all of my being that he is presenting us with an amazing opportunity to heal the deep, penetrating wounds we have suffered as a country over the past several years. I would urge you to take 30 minutes of your life and listen to this speech given in San Francisco recently before you decide who to support in the next election. If, after you watch this, you decide to support someone else, I will be very surprised, but will respect your decision. If you are still preoccupied with whether or not someone snores, then there is nothing more to say because you are asleep, and nothing will wake you up.

Obama has only sweet talk, sweet talk and sweet talk. What has he done as a state senator? As a US senator? He is not going to work with the system, will he capable of breaking the system and building another system around him? Big mouth won't achieve nothing.

You know what I was watching probably one of Bill Mauers best shows. And he posed a question to Mos Def the actor/rapper/activist and also Kornel West or whatever his name is he said. "The black vote is split right now….But the blacks supported O.J. but yet are split on Obama?" and i said to myself damn he's right….what a joke our people can be at times. And I really want to know who these polsters are asking these question too. But this will be the first time blacks did not get behind any "once and a life time" black. We've got to do better

OBL says there are only two ways to end this war in Iraq. One is for them to kill us and the other is for us to convert to Islam. Obama says he will end this war in Iraq. Which way is he proposing for us?

American women are looking for a candidate to fully represent their interests and to begin to repair the great damage done to our country during the past 8 years.

Reviewing the *experience,* stances, and honesty of Obama - my vote goes to Obama. I don't want more of the same. I want a leader who will speak the truth even if not politically popular…a leader who looks at issues with depth, insight, and intelligence. Obama can lead!

This woman is voting for OBAMA!

Hey A. Thomas, New York, NY

"Obama does not represent women wishes when he, at home at least, is stinky, does not do his bed, and is considered immature by his wife. Other things being equal, a woman doesnt want to vote for a politician with these personal bad habits."

Are you serious? Has it come to that?
So that is your criteria for electing the President of the Free World? Judging them on something that you don't even know about, nor is it your business. Does he make his bed? Unbelievable.

Frankly, I like all three… Obama, Edwards, and Clinton…

Let's stick to the issues people. America, what is going on? Now I see how "Dubya" got elected.

Hillary isn't dominating the women's vote. She has the lion share of women without a college education on her side. Probably due to Bill's popularity but they don't vote. Whereas Obama has the lion share of women with a college education and who do vote and contribute to his campaign. Obama 08!

While there may be a few women who want Clinton because they want a woman president, I think most want the best president. Some of them believe this is Clinton and some of them believe it is Obama. Obama should certainly not worry about the polls. Until people start to pay attention to Obama, until they know where he stands, until they get a sense for who he is, how could they possible say they are voting for him in some phone poll? He is trying to get his message out. People should listen. I compared Clinton's campaign issues to Obama's. Obama is much the better in my personal opinion. Reasonably, people will have different opinions. I haven't seen anything that would convince me to choose Clinton over Obama.

I would like to make one correction to Jeff Bolin….Bush is America's worst nightmare. Whoever does become our next president has the hardest job ever ahead of him or her, just getting us out of the rut this administration has dug us into. It's perplexing to me as to how he ever became president having so little class, experience, and common sense.

These are the two Democratic powerhouses for preseditial candidates. Obama states it perfectly in that it is not a matter of competence. Either candidate could competently lead this nation. The question in our minds should be whether or not we want more of the same from our government, more of the same experiences, more of the same way of life. How we battle terrorism, how we provide healthcare to our people here at home, how we educate our youth, how we address foreign nations, immigration, etc. Are we comfortable with becoming a nation where the majority of our jobs are outsourced to other countries willing to work for less? Are we comfortable with our healthcare facilities being run as companies for profit? If this is what we wish to protect and the path we as Americans wish to continue on then Hillary is a great choice.
But as a nation if we wish to course correct, if we wish to actually put our money where our mouths are and actually do something about the things that we as Americans no longer wish to tolerate, to fight for a better quality of life as American citizens, to realize that globalization is at our doorstep and that we can either take the hard nose approach of current government leaders and deny open communication with others and try to force them to our way of thinking, or we can open the lines of communication and sit and listen in hopes of understanding one another and making compromises as nations who work together should do. If we want that this is the time to make a change because I'm not certain when we will have another opportunity to do so. This is our chance and the man with the vision and leadership to do this is Obama.

Thomas from NY.

Most people have stinky breath in the morning, and I'm sure you and your spouse are no exception. Read the entire article in Glamour, before speaking.

Many kids say things like stinky. Most women feel there husbands don't do enough, be it chores or help with the kids. That doesn't mean he isn't a good husband. If this is what you use as your criteria in choosing a president, no wonder we have who we have in office now.

By the way, Hillary has been in elected office less time than Obama. Being the former President's wife is not actual experience!

Hillary is dominating women Democratic votes right now.

Obama needs to continue to focus on getting more support from them…otherwise he will lose.

Obama is obivously the best person for the job, and I a confident that the American people will realize that and he will end up becoming our next President.

He's right, Clinton is more of the same. It's funny that people bash Obama for lack of experience, but if you look at many of the best Presidents, many had less experience than him. Look at Bill Clinton (little to no national experience); Kennedy (first term senator); Regan (little to no national experience). Truth is, so called experienced presidents have been some of the worst…Nixon, Bush I, Carter, George W.(learned from Bush I).

Obama is the best leader that we have to chose from.

Obama '08

"Obama really scares me. He is Americas worst nightmare next to Hillary of course. If these left loons win, WE LOSE!!" - Posted By Jeff Bolin, Scottsdale,Az : September 8, 2007 10:54 am

Another desparaging stereotype of Liberals is offered to us by Jeff. He characterizes us as "left loons". Name-calling degrades the political dialog. Let's be civil in our discussions with one another. Civlity in public discourse should characterize Americans, but I'm afraid we fall far short of the standard set for us by past generations in this matter.

Liberalism is a proud American tradition. America was led by Liberals through her greatest wars, and we live in a world largely built by Liberal presidents and Congresses. Though there are currently NO liberals in elective office in the federal government, it is possible that one could be elected some day and the great tradition will be resumed.

A good definition of Liberalism can be found at http://www.LiberalAndProudOfIt.com . You can also find there the only thoughtful description of Conservatism that I have ever read.

Before dialog can begin, each party must have something to say. Calling each other "loons" or "traitors" (Ann Coulter) is a disservice to the Republic.

Its refreshing to have a candidate like Obama. Every other candidate I have heard is preaching the same old tired and rehearsed messages. Many are afraid to say what they really feel. Many are afraid to think outside of the box. Only Obama a man genuinely outside of the box- a man of both Black and White background brings a unique perspective. We want to label him a black man running for office but that represents only half of the man. Study his background carefully. He has a unique blend of both. He can relate to both sides. He fits well in both environments. He represents what this country wants to be, diversified, and what it attempts to be, inclusive.

Barack Obama is the best 'person' for the job. The presidency is not a gender issue. There are too many important issues that require competency and common-sense.

Clinton is running on her husband's legacy. All of her 'experience' in Washington is a reflection of him….even her moving to NY, running for Senate, and now running for president. She is 'Bill Clinton lite'

Obama inspires a change from politics as usual and this is appealing to both men and WOMEN!

Obama really scares me. He is Americas worst nightmare next to Hillary of course. If these left loons win, WE LOSE!!

I am all for him. I don't believe Clinton will win a general election. I think Obama offers more than the same old thing. His message can inspire and reach out to independents who won't vote for Clinton. We need independents to win.

Obama is the only candidate that I've heard who really makes much sense on foreign policy. It's only logical and rational that we should be engaging in dialog with our enemies in order to promote peace and reconciliation instead of tension and war.

Obama, you have my full support. Everything you say makes complete sense to me. I don't want more of the same. I do want someone who has the courage to confront and be diplomatic with hostile regimes through discourse and not bombs. I do want someone who understands what our country's needs are, where the threats are coming from, and what we need to do to make our country safe; as well as how we can improve our reputation and bringg back American pride. I think your experience, personality, public record, and education make you the best person for the tough job of leading our country. Your desire is not one of achievement, but of true love for your country. You are the only one who can get the parties to work together. You have my vote….

ps. female response here!

Hillary would be more of the same. The only change being having a female divisive person in the white house.

I like Obamas' Style and Honesty. He is an Orator that can capture an audience much like Bill Clinton, and much unlike George Bush.

His forthright character and his desire to meet on a level playing field with international leaders turns a new page and starts a new journey.

If Americans can get past race, age and experience, I think they have a Great Leader waiting in the wings for their come hither jester.

No Union endorsements, thinning crowds, static poll numbers and ever more desperate rhetoric, from a candidate who's star burned brightly for a short time at the outset but is now on the wane.

What is new? Same old political crap from Democrats.

I hope enough women have the courage to support a leader who, may not be a product of a vast political machine, but nevertheless has the judgment, intelligence, integrity and heart to fundamentally change for the better many of the things in washington that we all have hoped for years could be changed. The Clintons already had their chance, they left behind the same political machine they entered into with all its broken gears.

Obama has the kind of experience that our forefathers envisioned would make for a good leader. Today people try to manufacture criteria based on what they hear from sound bytes on the news. Instead of researching and understanding what it takes to be a great leader.

Obama starts asking for women votes after Hillary started talking about her representing change, in addition to her experience.

Obama does not represent women wishes when he, at home at least, is stinky, does not do his bed, and is considered immature by his wife. Other things being equal, a woman doesnt want to vote for a politician with these personal bad habits.

my grandfather told my mother, my mother told me. children be proud of your name and use it wisely. Hillary Rodham Clinton is proud of her entire name regardless of the burdens joy sorrow it carries, much the same way I feel about the United States of America which embraces much the same feeling. As long as the lady stands in the harbor torch held high we carry the flame of hope, with all of our lives symbolized by one who is brave enough to carry it.
