Hmm…Fool us twice CNN and MSNBC and Fox and you get real good at it…You can get away with stealing another election for your corporate candidate…not a problem…Hillary as nominee is a shoe in for YOUR choice of corporate sponsor to win. I'd wish you luck but you guys don't need it as long as YOU own the disinformation/propaganda channels.

"Don't 'Swift Boat' me"

Hey Obama, I think you would have actually had to have been in the military for a group of fellow US officers dispute your accounts of combat..

I am disappointed that the reporting on Iowa polls is understated. The fact that Obama is leading should be the opening line, not hidden paragraphs later. Obama is ahead of Clinton at present and that IS big news. He has been behind Clinton in the polls for a long while, and Iowa is very important. So, why not amp this up as done with Clinton's meager performance in Nevada with a favorable audience? What is the goal in reporting these days? Is the same-old-same-old better news than change?

Are we seeing evidence of Hillary's goon squad Dick Morris is so vocal about? Say it isn't so…

Once apon a time there was a canidate named Obama. obama was a breath of fresh air, then political handlers got ahold of him, and he became a typical canidate without apparently out a history to stand upon. Why do I say this, because Obama started attacking other canidates rather than talking his ideas.

Turn off, now that he is being attacked by parties not named, he crys foul, wwell, all I can say is if you want a public life and you want to thrown stones, you had better be prepared for some stones to be tossed your way.

You want it to stop, ignore it and run a positive, up front campaign. Talk your poliicies and ideas and attack no other canidate. But don't mind me, you lost my vote when the handlers got hold of you.

Could it be that Novak is trying to stir the pot? Why doesn't he try to 'cannibalize' his own party?

Consider the source folks, he's a pot stirring idiot using legal anonymity so he doesn't have to divulge the 'sources' that he doesn't have.

Do any of you think it's ironic that this comes on the heels of the Rove advice to Barak? This is calculated crap. Why does Nofacts and Rover all of the sudden care about the Dems primary so much? We're so stupid, we fall for this ridiculousness every time. If we keep buying into it we'll lose the general election for sure.

We all talk about how these idiots have no creditibility then react on this blog like fish to bait.

WAKE UP DEMS THEY STILL THINK THEY HAVE OUR NUMBER!!!! And we're proving them right.

Thanks for censoring me CNN. You guys are a real piece of work.

Give it up, Barack Hussein Osama.

Hillary's gonna win ( Osama's quaking even before Hillary released the scandalous info

But if Obama somehow does the impossible and gets the Dem nomination, guess what - me and a lot of other Dems are gonna vote for the Republican. Yes we know how bad they are, but atleast they're NOT MUSLIM JEHADI sympathiser.

No way we can have a Muslim Jehadi guy running ( ruining?) America, the last defense against global Islamic terrorism.

Wow, that's really clever Jim. Do you listen to Fox news much or did you make that up all your little self?

Europe,
You put an intelligent comment stating your views and gave supporting info why YOU like Hillary Clinton. The response to your comment was to get lost and implied you came across like an idiot. We both know from that response who looks like the idiot on here. Don't get angry, I'm sure you understand when people like that spew ignorant hatemongering statements that have no factual basis all they can come back with is idiotic responses.

you are just showing you are another idiot that live in America and just want a fake reputation of your leaders who are ruining your country. Unfortunately, those of us who are not Americans, but live here know this country is far from what the worlds look at it. No wonder people like you see no problem to have Bush in the white house. To be short, just open up your eyes it might change a thing or two in your resourceful and capable country….

Let Obama grow up first, before he wants to run ( ruin ?) America
Posted By Jim Bremer : November 18, 2007 9:14 pm

You grow first….. I am sure you won't even grow to be an inch of Obama is even if we add you another 5000years to live in the universe. Just access this, if you are 25 and he is 46, do you even see yourself to be any close to where you are or you be left there whinning……I am sure even if he doesn't have a shot on this one, he still have a chance. If he doesn't make it he still have a life to live and I bet a very nice one. He already worth 2million. So go figure!

Obama shouldn't worry about it. The Clintonistas in the trailer parks won't remember it tomorrow unless Jerry Springer makes a reference to it.

all those who call obama "barack hussein osama" and say he is an islamic terrorist can kiss mine

you all are just racists, religiously intolerable, ignorant people.

now i know there are some people in my own republican party who have the same attitude towards muslims

BUT ONLY LIKE 2 OF US HAVE CALLED OBAMA "OSAMA" OR SAY HE'S A MUSLIM TERRORISTS AND WE DONT LIKE TO AFFILIATE THEM WITH THE REPUBLICAN PARTY

HEY IGNORANT RACISTS…ACCEPT THAT FACT THAT HE IS A BLACK CHRISTIAN WHO COULD BE THE DEMOCRATIC NOMINEE

All this to-do about a rumor about a rumor.
Who really cares about the issues, when
one can make an issue of a "non-issue?
Surely there are more important things to do than repeat what someone else thinks or says.
Everyone seems to have a different interpretation, depending solely on their personal likes and dislikes.
The last president was elected because of his likeable "personality". That should be an lesson for all time.

If there is ONE SINGLE PIECE OF PROOF that Barack Obama has done ONE THING to show that he is a Muslim since he was TEN YEARS OLD, then it should be offered so that his opponents don't look so much like paranoids. By their "logic", Obama could also turn out to be a "closet" Catholic since he ALSO took training as a child in Catholicism. The FALSE claims exposed by CNN are as ridiculous as fearing that he might become president and surrender the United States to Vatican City.

BTW- what are the allegations? any detail? what did you say? no details?
then why is Obama and his supporters crying wolf….oh it has just become a very bad habit.

Europe:

you are intruding, I doubt that you know very much about our politics and quite frankly after living in Europe I doubt that you even care about our politics. Bill Clinton is/was a complete scum bag!

First, Novak's report, like most of his reporting, lacks traceable sources. But, knowing his political leanings, I'm inclined this is about as credible as the Carl Rove recommendations to Obama. Just more machinations from the RNC to create more strife and infighting–so instead of issues the Dems are focused on defending themselves from "unverifiable" muckraking. What suprises me, is the immediate knee-jerk response from Obama's camp. His staff seems to be getting punchy.

Making fun of people's names is a favorite pasttime of children, but the best part is that they ALWAYS STOP when the GROW UP.

I just hate to be black! Thant is all what I can say…

I think this was well timed. Can you see the coincidence of Bonds indictment with this? He was allowed to play all the way then they came after him when he retired, why not before…Ooooh I forgot he had to make money for those owners….
Obama was allowed to go all the way with the campaign till at the end of the debate when they formulated a way to kill his campaign. Why allowed to do that?….Ooooh I forgot he had to be used to cheer up the Americans after 4 years of Bush killing their brains, dividing and straining them by a strings of things, not forgetting the pain this country is in….
Just a thought of what happened could be true or not…just decided to share if anyone look at this that way…..

Says who? I am not American so I apologize if I am intruding your very well informed discussion. But I lived some time in the US in mid 90s (don't jump on this, absolutely legally).. and it wasn't bad at all at that time.

Except the scandals around Bill Clinton (that learning later how the American politics works I still can see some were possible fabrications) I found that he was a very inspirational American President. Bill represented you very well overseas, the lives of Americans were prosperous and more secure than today, and honestly, he has a presidential appearance. So I don't really understand the 'dirty' part mentioned by some of you, and I certainly don't believe that you have to transfer it to Hillary.

The rest of the world used to look up to America, I doubt this is the case now. I followed Hillary's campaign and I have lots of admiration for her. Obama is insecure and a little bit arrogant. Edwards lost once and now he is playing badly the social class card. Biden and Richardson make very good impressions, but sorry for those who don't agree.. Hillary Clinton is a different league..

Posted By from Europe : November 18, 2007 4:05 pm

You are lost or get lost!. If you are somewhere else some other country, please focus on the problems facing your people or something. What are you telling Americans that they don't know? All what you look here is just being an Idiot…what else?

Clinton to Obama; Suck it up.

DUH! Hillary Clinton uses the word "REPUBLICAN" like she used to use the name "NEWT GRINGRICH." Her campaign is about getting dems to ASSOCIATE Senator Obama with the word REBUBLICAN. Hill…you really are hilarious. Why don't YOU start focusing on the ISSUES and not on the other parties.

Unfortunately Obama's campaign has to respond to allegations even if they are stupid and unfounded. Why? Because their is a significant number of Americans that will be in rumors and wild accusations. Novak's piece is written entirely from speculation. He list any sources. Obama's campaign should respond to this but unless anything else comes out of the Novak's crapper. Obama should move on go after the Iowa and New Hampshire caucauses.

Axel, This Obama supporter is also not at ease with the obvious bias of CNN towards Clinton. The folks at "Fair and Balanced" offer similar disdain towards Obama.

For those who missed it, Obama received 65% of the vote at the regional UAW meeting in Iowa.

I am TIRED of the bias that CNN has of Hillary Clinton. When Barack had recently gotten the support from a UAW from Iowa…I did not see much of that report.

Posted By Robin, Montpelier, VT : November 18, 2007 6:26 am

Then why are you here posting on a CNN blog? Perhaps you should try that "Fair and Balanced" news network?

The unfortunate part of all this is that WE THE PEOPLE are going to allow News Stations and Unreliable reporters elect a president. I thought the MEDIA should be independent and not one sided . Dont forget this is not a SOCIALIST COUNTRY IT IS DEMOCRATIC and we need to elect the right president. At least a Democrat because with the republicans we have only chaos !!!!! Come to grips people and vote not whaT CNN ,FOX, ABC, NBC or whoever want.

Jaki, let's stop with the Muslim crap right now about Obama. His father was an atheist by thetime he met Obama's mother in Hawaii. By all accounts his step-father was a non-practicing Muslim during the four years Obama spent in Indonesia and Barack went to PUBLIC schools while he did live their. This just in: the translation of madrassa is SCHOOL, not "radical Wahabist terrorist training grounds" as the people from Fox News would love to have you beleive. So when someone says he attended a madrassa in Indonesia, tell them that you are glads that he got a good, normal education along with his Christian (Protestant), Muslim, Jewish and Catholic classmates. And on MTP, Obama NEVER said he doesn't or refuses to speak with his former friend Tony Rezko because he's under indictment. Rezko is running from the law. If my friend was skirting the law I wouldn't exactly be in conversation with him either for fear of breaking the law myself. As a guy running for president, of course Obama has to keep his distance. There's nothing wrong with that. At least Obama didn't try to nominate Rezko as director of homeland security.

——————————-

"His father was an atheist . " LOL - did your crystal ball tell you that ? And we're supposed to elect a Muslim sympathist based on your grand testimony LOLOLOL

"By all accounts his step-father was a non-practicing Muslim"
Barak Hussein Obama has a knack of finding non-practicing Muslims as his father !! I've never heard of a non-practicing Muslim,( penalty for quitting Islam is death) but Obama managed to find two in a row - WOW !!

"This just in: the translation of madrassa is SCHOOL, not "radical Wahabist terrorist training grounds" as the people from Fox News would love to have you beleive."

Thank you so much. The whole world is now relieved that madrassa means school Hey - you know all those madrassa students who want to slit throats and do jihad ? Turns out they're just SCHOOLBOYS ! Just a small problem - this school is called Murder High.

Barack Huseein Osama for president !! ( Just not President of America, please. Some place like Jihadistan would be fine)

Do the Clinton's pay you to carry their message? It may have been a little less obvious if you had actually used your own words.
Posted By Sarah : November 17, 2007 11:23 pm

Sigh, I am not for any particular candidate. Right now I am for ANY candidate that ISN'T a Republican. I am one of those sought after INDEPENDENTS. I used to vote for whomever I thought could get the job done but under this president the Republican party has completely soured me on voting for them. The Republican party is going to have to stop groveling at the feet of the religious ultra-right and get back to core principles of the party before I can TRUST them to govern again.

For me I will vote for which ever Democratic candidate gets the nomination. The Republicans have blown it with this Independent voter and the longer they continue to support the policies of George Bush the longer it will take for them to regain my trust.

When Hilary Clinton stumbles and she is criticized, the so called CNN pundits and the Clinton campaign give flimpsy excuses but if any other democratic candidate has a semblance of stumbling, the CNN pundits and the Clinton Campaign blow this out of proportions and even go to the length of branding the other candidate a roockie. Mrs Clinton stumbled on the NAFTA question and even responded in the negative when asked about the issuance of driver's licenses to illegal aliens(a position she did not hold two weeks earlier) in the Las Vegas debate but CNN played this down and their so called pundits who clearly have hopes of having positions in a Clinton administration, with lopsided analysis declared her the winner. Any objective listener will see that Biden and Obama performed better than Hilary Clinton in this debate. Besides, the way CNN posed questions gave one the impression they wanted Hillary Clinton to come out the winner, unfortunately her performance was not up to par. I am sure CNN and the Clinton Campaign think Americans can be fooled or are fools, they should rest assured the ballot box will prove them wrong.

I've said it before and I'll say it again:

If this country can't elect such an obviously excellent candidate as Obama, well, then we are doomed to a mediocre future with a mediocre president, and we deserve it.

why should hillary be president you obama supporters say? Because of this maybe???

It's amazing that so many people are in an outrage by what they think was the truth written in a column by the super-conservative Robert Novak.

Now, who exactly from Hillary's camp, a camp that's known for their loyalty to her, go to their extremes of contacting Robert Novak? Have these same people considered the possibility that this was a dirty trick instigated by a GOP Operative or a GOP Operative attempting to attempting to appear from Clinton's camp?

Please. People can be so gullible.

Does anyone really think that if the Clinton campaign actually DID have damaging information about Obama, they would keep it quiet? Not on your life. This is clearly a pathetic attempt by the threatened Clinton campaign to pretend that she is the candidate of change, which has been Obama's message from the start. Stop the mudslinging, indeed.

It sounds to me that Obama is worry about his past catching up with him. Who knows "what individual" in his past knows some things about him. I, presently, felt that his interview with Tim Russell indicating that he did not speak to his friend due to the federal investigation problem of his friend was something he should not have stated. People that are considered "friends" should be left as that, "friends". I felt that he turned his back on this so call friend. People in politics should be careful in denouncing "money friends" in the media. I don't know if this could be the damaging problem, but if it is, Obama should be worried about it. If he is worried about his muslim upbring, I think the whole world knows his is half-muslim. I am sure the old Republican Major of New York after denouncing his friend, is pretty worried by now. I just think is just "spin" and blaming our beautiful CNN for his bad debate. Pity! is what he is seeking for!

It is technically correct that neither of the Clinton's has been found guilty of anything. However, neither was Al Capone until the IRS got him for tax evasion. Guess he didn't do anything else, huh?

Hillary is just as dirty as Bill.

To those asking why Clinton hasn't denied it as if she is already guilty of it…..
""We have no idea what Mr. Novak's item is about and reject it totally," Clinton campaign spokesman Phil Singer told CNN Saturday."

What part of that statement don't you understand?

Hilary is experienced.

She's got tonnes and tonnes of experience in dodging the issues, has a track record of not having any major success to back her credibility and flees behind a conveneient "female victim" facade when the heat gets too close.

Oh, and the Hillary haters (Democrats and Republicans alike) cling desperately to her prior "scandals" without being able to cite ONE - and I mean ONE - where she has been found guilty. I mean, seriously. ONE. Give me ONE. You can't. And then when you realize you can't it's all about consipiracy WHY she hasn't been found guilty. Unbelievable. I'm waiting to hear of the "Clinton Crime Family" where the Clinton cronies boil family pets and cut off the fingers of those who cross them. Honestly, wait and see. This kind of crap will come out soon if she's the Democratic candidate. What's scary is that some Democrats are getting close to this already. Just wait and see what the Republicans will come up with. The unjustifiable hate is unbelievable.

Oh..Barack. Please, tell me u didn't fall for the republican bait…no…no. Bob Novak, c'mom the guy is a complete scum-bag with no conscious. Why on earth would any democratic campaign reach out to that monster.

The Clinton camp has something big on Obama…and they are going to wait until the election gets closer to expose it.

I am a lifelong democrat. I supported Bill Clinton for president twice.

I have grown to really appreciate the different campaign Obama is running. He has my full support- he is what the country needs right now: an man so new to Washington that no one has their hands in his pockets yet, he isn't in anyone else's pockets, is beholden only to his own judgement, and has the capacity to change the game just enough to instigate more change.

Hillary Clinton is the choice of the media (CNN- diamonds or pearls? It's so OBVIOUS now that you're doing her bidding) and the establishment. This country has a visceral distate for royalty- it's why we threw the Brits out 200+ years ago.

Bush-Clinton-Bush-Clinton? No more.

Hillary Clinton will go to any depth for personal ambition- she's in this for herself and her legacy. Obama and his family are running for US.

She's shameless. If she is the nominee, it will mark the first time in my life I refuse to vote. I could not in good conscience vote for such a lying, ruthless, deceitful candidate. Enough is enough.

Mr. Obama, I sincerely hope you win.

Thank God most of you are either to young or to lazy to vote. I wonder why we continue spending so much on education if this is the continued outcome. Novack is a journalist who wrote a story. Hillary and her husband Bill are KNOWN for being godparents to the politics of personal destruction. They employed these tactics throughout Bill's presidency and now that they are feeling some heat they have broken them out again. I know for most of you history started about five minutes after GWB was sworn in but if you look back on the Clinton era it is full of scandal and embarrassment to the country. Hillary makes Bush look like Einstein. If you want real change vote for Gravel or Paul but since most of you are just pawns on the board then do your country a favor and stay home on election day.

I will be voting for Paul in the primary but once he drops out I will support Rudy. He is the only one on either side who has tangible accomplishments that point to real leadership and you can spare me all the personal attack BS because they aren't running for Pope and none of these people are clean outside of Paul who won't win because he is to dangerous to the establishment most of you decry but then support.

Instead of Wolfson attacking Obama for falling for Republican tactics, why doesn't he address Novak for even starting such a smear tactic against Hillary's campaign? Maybe because there might be some truth to what Novak has written.

Obama did not do well in the debate. He is just not a good debater so what…that does not make him a bad candidate or it has nothing to do with how good a president he will be. Hillary is more practiced than Obama and that will not make her a good candidate…it's all about ideas and Hillary has some slimy ideas with alot of slimy people that will be back in the White House…We really don't want that again..we need to move on..The president does not debate world leaders and as the world leader we do need more slime in the white house.

"'Decent Lady?' Thanks for this post…my wife and I got a charge out of this one. Having friends that worked in the Clinton WH [White House], we have heard stories about her that would stun folks. Anyway, thanks for the laugh." Posted By Anonymous, Norfolk, VA

Here we have a slur on the character of two leading Democratic candidates posted by an anonymous person who heard it from anonymous people who allegedly worked in the White House during the Clinton years. His anonymous wife corroborates these stories.

What IS the story printed by that cranky old rascal Novak? It is this:

Hillary is aware of information about Obama that could potentially ruin him, shame him, or cause him scandal. What could the story be? Perhaps Obama wears lingerie under his business suit? Maybe Obama is secretly a Muslim who goes to a mosque in Chicago wearing a false beard where he exchanges text messages with Osama bin Ladin? Could it be that Obama was video taped robbing a 7-11 in Cicero? Could it be possible that Obama was caught cheating on his bar exam? The imagination runs wild with possibilities - all of them false, of course - but they say where there's smoke there's fire don't they.

And that devil Hillary! She obviously believes in dirty politics and the Politics of Personal Destruction or she wouldn't be collecting this stuff. She WOULD use this information if it benefited her, so she is obviously scum. The only reason she is NOT using it is because it doesn't suit her purposes at the moment. However, if Obama has such dark secrets - whatever they are - then he must be scum too.

Well, that settles it for me. I'm voting Republican. At least you can trust them to tell the truth. Thank God for Robert Novak.

WatchingHillary.com

There was a time when Barak Obama referred to Clinton as Bush/Cheney light. It seems she's putting on some weight these days. The scales are definitely showing her true nature. But in the end, Hillary hate will defeat her, and then watch the moaning and whining from the HRC camp.

Does this guy ever speak for himself, he appears to need constant help talking and using other candidate’s words as his own…

The fact he is listening to Rove is the last straw, he so unworthy of leading a great country, he cant even run a campaign???

"A Republican leaning journalist…" - hilarious; good one Phil Singer.

Seriusly - I CAN NOT handle Hiolary being president.

You are telling me her camp did not put this out there at a perfect time when she is tied with Barack and Edwards in IOWA…She is despicable and I promise it will be four years of the same with her in office.

Anyone who has to refer to Barack as Osama or somethig else should be ashamed at their ignorance. Have you not moved past 6th grade nominal insults..it scares me that you mindless idiots are able to vote..

1. Hillary's Poll numbers continue to plummet after MSNBC Debate

2. Hillary made it worst by staging the CNN Planted debacle of a Debate.

3. Hillary continues to make maters worst by engaging in their usual Clinton ways. By using Bob Novak to try and get early Voters to worry about Obama being Swift Boated. Obama squashed this be reacting forcefully and quickly. Hillary has therefore helped Obama by giving Obama this early opportunity to show he will not be Swift Boated.

4. Hillary by doing ALL these things are reminding people of ALL the things they did not like about her or the Clintons.

5. Hillary is making it so that when she loses the Primary VOTERS will insist that she NOT be on the ticket as a VP.

If there is not a shred of truth to Novak's assertion, then why has Hillary not gone ballistic with Novak? Is she content with having her campaign agents slandered, or was this her idea from the beginning?

CNN is did a great job with the Las Vegas debate, the obama whiners are crying here because he lost and he clearly doesnt measure up next to CLINTON…
He's out of this race

CLINTON 08!

GREAT! its time his dirty laundry be hung out like everyine else…

DOWN WITH OBAMA….LETS SEE WHAT HE'S AFRAID WILL COME OUT

Obama is now running scared because his attacks on Clinton did not go over well, now he's crying when the tables turn…Too bad obama! More reasons why he is not leadership material..
Stop whinning Obama and get out of the race

"…HE SHOULD N’T HAVE POSED SUCH REDICULOUS ALLEGATION AGAINST A DECENT LADY LIKE HILLARY…"

**************

"Decent Lady"? Thanks for this post…my wife and I got a charge out of this one. Having friends that worked in the Clinton WH, we have heard stories about her that would stun folks. Anyway, thanks for the laugh.

CNN is so pro-Clinton it makes me sick. on the front page the link is labelled "Obama Reacts to Report of Scandal", i.e., there's a real scandal involving Obama, while the actual article (that few will actually click to) is "Obama to Clinton: Don't Swift Boat Me", i.e., a negative to Hilary, CNN's clearly preferred candidate. If you don't believe me, watch the last debate and their shameful coverage of it–ever wonder why they don't show poll responses any more in terms of who folks think won the debates? I'd wager it's because they'd continue to show Mrs. Clinton losing them, and we can't have that now can we?

Everybody should know by now to consider the source. Novak is a dedicated conduit for Republican deceit, propaganda and the outright treasonous compromising of our national security (compromising a CIA operation that tracked proliferation of WMD). You can bet there isn't a molecule of truth to Novak’s story. Clinton was right (even though I'm not her supporter). Wake up America! Don't fall for this again.

Obama is a looser, plain and simple. He can't go after Clinton on anything so he goes and listen to Novak. Hello?!? Doesn't anyone of his supporters realize what this guy is? An opportunist FRAUD. I guess Oprah is a looser too…but oh I love Oprah

This is getting ugly…

We need to know the open truth here. If Clinton's campaign is really doing this, we need to know. We must be aware of any campaign that is as secretive and sinister as the current administration.

If Giuliani and Clinton are the respective nominees, we may have to choose between two candidates very much like the current President that we all so disagree with right now.

A HIGHLY AMBITIOUS YOUNG MAN NARTURED THE AIM AND OBJECTIVE OF BECOMING ONE DAY THE PRESIDENT OF USA BY KEEPING A MIXED NAME OF CHRISTIAN AND MUSLIMS AND BEING FROM BLACK RACE THOUGHT WOULD ATTRACT THE VOTES OF THE BLACK COMMUNITY, MUSLIMS FOR HIS NAME HUSSAIN AND SIMILARLY CRISTIAN BECAUSE HE PRACTICES CHRISTIANITY. I HAVE SEEN LOT OD FARUDS IN MY BUT LIKE OBAMA HE THE FIRST UNIQUE TYPE.

HE IS A STUDENT OF COLOMBIA UNIVERSITY, AND A YOUNG LAWYER SHOULD HAVE BEEN TAUGHT THAT HEAR SAY EVIDENCE IS NOT SUFFICIENT TO PROVE PERSON GUILTY OF ANY OFFENCE. I DOUBT IF HIS LEGAL KNOWLEDGE COMENSURATE THE DEGREE HE CLAIMS TO HAVE OBTAINED.

IF REALLY HE IS A LAW DEGREE HOLDER THAT FROM COLOMBIA UNIVERSITY THEN HE SHOULD N’T HAVE POSED SUCH REDICULOUS ALLEGATION AGAINST A DECENT LADY LIKE HILLARY CLINTON TTHAT TOO A PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE AND A COLLEAGUE OF HIS. SHAME MR. OBAMA!! YOU TALK LIKE G W BUSH THE UNIVERSAL LIAR. I, DID

DOUBT OBAMA’S CHARACTER A YEAR BACK AND WROTE ABOUT IT TOO. NOW I FIND IT TO BE GLARING TRUE. NOW I FIND HIM TO BE A PRETENDER AND A FLAT LIAR LIKE BUSH AND HIS LOVELY DEAR COUSIN DICK CHENEY. D C HAPPY

It was a measured, reasonable response. He was not attacking anyone, and you would think that the Clinton campaign would want to clear up any confusion. You would think that, if a journalist was printing lies about Clinton, the campaign would want to move quickly to squash them. Oh well.

I can't believe the rubes, dem and rep alike, who would swallow anything that spewed from the likes of that sociopathic Novak.

Obama and Edwards lost my vote when they decided to focus on Hillary and not the Gawdawful GOP.

Obama made a huge blunder by attacking Hillary first and making no mention of the poisonous Prince of Darkness. I had high hopes for him, but he continues to disappoint.

Oh, please.
Obama's TRUTH is enough to make him a joke candidate, never mind anything to be 'revealed'.

A one-term senator with ZERO EXPERIENCE, and MUSLIM sympathies.

Vote for Obama and get another idiot as inept as Bush.

Zoweeee. Talk about politics of fear and diversion!

Pssssst, Barack. Be careful of who you're taking advice from.

Rove and Novak, of all people!!!

That these two guys almost simultaneously came out with their little "helpful" gems should have been your first clue.

And then there's the obvious: Why would Novak and Rove be trying to be so darned helpful????

Oh gosh! Might it be that they are trying to manipulate the two campaigns into imploding?

I can't believe you fell for it, Barack.

And to the rest of the natterers here: Wise up, People! Quit being such tools!

I have a word for all you people who fell for Novak's Conrad-Dobler attempt to stir up trouble between the Democrats.

G-U-L-L-I-B-L-E

RESPONDING TO: Bob Novak, a known conservative leaning journalist, implies that the Clinton campaign has dirt on Obama but won't release it and Obama's campaign instead of questioning Novak's motives releases a statement against Hillary????????

Barack, Barack, that latest statement jut shows that your lack of experience in politics is showing. The Clintons have been running winning campaigns since the 70s and know how to play the game very well, while you just played into the hands of the Republicans. Too funny!

…Readers,this just goes to prove that some people still want the same old politics and the same deceitful White House.

I am TIRED of the bias that CNN has of Hillary Clinton. When Barack had recently gotten the support from a UAW from Iowa…I did not see much of that report.

The Republican party should be doing all they can to support a Hillary nomination. She is the only democratic candidate polarizing enough to swing most independents, left leaning republicans, and even some liberals to vote Republican next year. A vote for Hillary now is a vote for the Republicans in November. This would not be the case with Obama.

Think about why Novak writes what he writes and Karl Rove has said what he has said in the past…

Can someone please explain to me why CNN changed a question at the request of the Clinton campaign? The asker wanted to ask about the Yucca nuclear waster facility, CNN told her to change it to a question about whether Clinton preferred diamonds or pearls. Clinton didnt feel like answering a tough question again? Frankly, this again shows you how low she will go. Instead of stepping out and telling us what she stands for, she'd rather take a sexist question about jewelry. Think they'd ever ask Guilliani a question like that? And you Democrats are going to nominate her. When the GOP wins in 2008, a prospect that I am NOT happy about considering Stevens can't hold out much longer, and who knows about Ginsberg, you're going to deserve it. Unfortunately a lot of the rest of us won't

Senator Obama should stop making false accusations to keep himself in the news. Enough, Senator!

I especially like how Hillary politicizes Obama's response as inexperience. People, don't be taken by this. It isn't inexperience on Obama's part. He has the intergrity to not go the route of standard Washington politics. He is open, honest and direrct and he is honest and direct in his attacks on Hillary, but because he will not play political hardball and dirty tricks like Hillary does not mean inexperience, it means he is the stand-out. He operates with a 21st centry mind. G'head, elect Hillary so we have another 4 years of dirty, sneaky, power-hungry elitist politics and politicians that get zilch done and then complain about it. If ya want a fresh face and fresh new start and to truly move into the new millenium, it's Barack

Novak is NOT a journalist, He is a Republican hack and always has been. He should be swinging by the neck for treason already. Nough said.

I'm a blogger and for the last three weeks, at least out of the more conservative type blogs, there have been rumors that the LA Times is sitting on a story. This story involves a Presidential Candidate that had an affair. Bloggers were guessing three people: Rudy, Obama, and Clinton. No facts to back it up…just LA Times was sitting on a hot story.

WatchingHillary.com

Mr. Obama, Grown up Democrats do not pay much attention to Bob Novak.

Bob Novak, a known conservative leaning journalist, implies that the Clinton campaign has dirt on Obama but won't release it and Obama's campaign instead of questioning Novak's motives releases a statement against Hillary????????

Barack, Barack, that latest statement jut shows that your lack of experience in politics is showing. The Clintons have been running winning campaigns since the 70s and know how to play the game very well, while you just played into the hands of the Republicans. Too funny!

hillary clinton is a very nasty person when it comes to her getting power,obama hasnt seen any thing yet what she can do to some one, so she can get what she wants.people seem to forget what happen in the past,to what happen to a lot of people.

Clinton campaign making attacks saying her openets are using Republican play book

GOOD GRIEF

FACT FACT FACT FACT

NO other canidae is MORE REPUBLICAN then CLINTON.

People come on now. Stop using your hearts and use your HEAD. GO check CLINTON VOTEING RECORD she voted YES to every major republican issue, that Bush wanted. It is only now she votes against Bush. Well sometimes, This lady voted to OK Bush to invade IRAN.

Clinton relies on the HEARTS of the democrats to get your vote. she knows this. She makes the best speeches to make people feel good into voting for her. But the fact is she dont vote by her HEART. She votes for the CORPATES. The same CORPATES that are war profitering. She is also OWNED by the Chines CORPATES, Which is why she is a strong WALMART backer. She has no problem in selling American high paying jobs to the Chines. Leaving us to working at WALMART, or flip burgars at Mcdonalds. Yes 6 dollars an hours.

The fact is American are fed up with wars. True Democracies spred by diplomacy instead of war. The majority of the anti war people are Democrats. Most Democrats have blind faith support for Clinton. If Clinton is President and, she keeps the war with IRAQ and probably start one with IRAN.
What do DEMOCRATS DO??
SO the Democrats have to decide. Do we accuse our selves being STUPID or do we support the war and CLINTON. Now you have the REPUBLICAAN warmongers joined by DEMOCRAT WARMONGERS. And the war is no longer UNPOPULAR. A brilliant move by the CORPATES.

YOU CLINTON SUPPORTERS PLEASE EXPLAIN HER VOTING RECORD TO ME???
Why she votes like a BUSH??
Why do you support her by hard fact??
Not by feel good statements.

I don't understand Hillary sympathizers. What the hell is Obama supposed to do? Bend over and hope Hillary's using KY Jelly? No!

Obama is a fighter and Clinton does not have ownership on this nomination. Clinton's campaign is dirty (they've proven it already) and Obama's people have no reason to put up with her crap.

To Reggie in Germany:

I'd reply, but I really didn't understand a word you wrote. My apologies.

LeeLe

I have never heard any candidates talking about the North American Indians. It seems they have been ignored far too long. AS President what will you do to improve the relationship with the American Indians.

I wonder how many of these comments on this "ticker" are plants from the campaigns… Probably more than we think. Our "political process" is pretty much a sham at this point. Corporations, the media and politicians are all in bed with one another. It's becoming difficult to know where one entity ends and the next begins… What happened to America?

AL GORE '08

Novak sold his soul to Rove years ago when Rove was working for Bush Sr. Just look at all the heated comments here… he puts a few words to paper and everybody starts spewing hate! No wonder he thinks he is important. IGNORE the man.. he deserves nothing less.

At this point I don't think Obama is relevant enough to be Swift Boated…I'm sure Hillary has run checked Obama's record extensively at this point. http://www.enewsreference.com

To TheInsider:

Get a life…you have several posts in this one blog topic. Then you copy and paste the same nonsense in other blogs. How much is the Clinton campaign paying you?

Only the true Clinton haters would believe anything from Bob Novak's mouth, and somehow if he referenced someone else, they would get it around to it being Hillary's fault anyway. Does it hurt much to be so hateful to someone because of their last name? Dredging up old rumours and innuendos that have been proven false really shows not much more than desperation. Obama should have seen this for what it was - another Rovian Novak plot to get one democrat pitted against another. It just goes to show that people will fall for anything no matter how unreliable the source.

To yorba Linda, you are right and I can say that you are a very intelligent lady. I was wondering myself on what issue HRC stands for, I can find none. The people who are supporting HRC are not very well educated because a very intelligent person and educated one will never vote for HRC. It has been reported that the support for HRC comes from high school drop-out. But college educated people never will vote for HRC. That is why Obama is doing fine among that group. A poll from NYU has just confirmed that.

Obama will never, ever get swiftboated the way Kerry did. Obama speaks swiftly, confidently, and logically and he doesn't take flak from anyone, especially Hillary Clinton. He's a tough dude and he's right to confront false info head on, its the only way to win.

They can't find anything good to get him on so they just make stuff up. Its a testament to how honest and how transparent and how clean the dude really is.

novak says the Clinton people have scandalous information on Obama and are spreading it by word of mouth.

The article presumes that the information is correct.

What exactly is wrong with the Clinton campaign doing this?

If someone is spreading correct information about their opponent what is so wrong with that?

All the republicans have to do is find someone who is against the war. They still have an edge to win the presidency. The Democrats will need Hiliary to win. Obama just will not tip the scale in what will invariably be another close race. The red states are just too red. Hiliary can turn them Blue, just like Bill did.
Go Hilary

This is just more of the same from Barack "Owhiner" Obama. The other day I turned on the debate and what was the very first sound I heard? Obama saying "That isn't what you can expect from Hillary." And every time he spoke it was "Hillary said this" or "Hillary did that".

He refers to the other candidates as "Gov. Richards", "Senator Biden", "Congressman Kucinich", etc. What does he call Senator Clinton? Hillary. He's a gentlemen to the gentlemen, but not to a lady? Come on, Obama. I know your Momma raised you better than that!

I personally don't think he has what it takes to be President, and every time he opens his mouth he confirms it as far as I am concerned. John Edwards at least throws in a few good ideas between attacks on her. But he too should learn how to address a lady.

When do you think these guys will figure it out? When it's too late? Senator Clinton is the front runner by a huge percentage for one simple reason… She is the one that most Democrats want. And considering how people are feeling about Republicans lately, after 7 years of lies, corruption, and scandals, I don't think any Republican stands a chance this time around.

Hmm. ratings or a Republican agenda.

Is Robert Novak acting as an "agent" for the Republican Party, in the attempt of creating a feud within the Democratic Pary?

http://www.youpolls.com/details.asp?pid=1018

.

Obama just showed his lack of experience and maturity who started bashing clinton agoin based on rumor.

Is he going to start making decision based on rumors if he ever gets to white house.

why would clinton do that anyway when Obama is so far behind.

Isn't this story about 3 or 4 months old? If my memory serves me, it was reported months ago that a "media virus" emerged attributing the Clinton camp for the story about Obama's Muslim grade school and implications of possible fundamentalist teachings. The story was researched and shown to be false, Obama's school was mainstream and not extremist. But the point was that the
story really didn't come from the Clinton camp after all. It probably was Republican dirty tricks after all. Anyway, leave it to Robert Novak for more of the same.

If Obama is the saint we think he is what is he afraid of then, If there is something scandalous about him then maybe america needs to know.

Here in New York, we are puzzled how saying "no," puts you on your game and wins a debate. We are interested in thoughtful, considered answers, and I would be interested in knowing if those of you in Iowa are actually getting that. Shame on the Nevada Dems for booing anyone who has dedicated his or her life to public service, regardless of how you feel about their positions. CNN and Wolf Blitzer should have explained to these neophites that booing is just plain bad manners. Is there a race going on in Iowa?

All the democratic candidates are ok but the only one I see as Presidential is BIDEN. I read all these political comments and I noticed alot are saying Biden is good but to bad he doesn't have a chance. I hope everyone in IOWA will give them there votes, so we can get a chance to vote for him when it's our States turn to vote.

Bravo Barack !!! Great response to the Clinton attack machine. They were expecting you to sit by and wring your hands while they 'swiftboat' you. Isn't funny that they complained about 'mudslinging' the other night.
Let's not forget their famous line of the "Politics of Personal Destruction", when that 'vast right-wing conspiracy' was questioning Bill's affair with Monica. How ironic, now that Cintons are engaging in the same style of 'dirty politics'. Does it surprise anyone?

There sure is a lot of paranoia in the political camps.

During the debate in Nevada, using body language, and code words, Clinton and Biden sent the message to media and followers (democrats and republicans) about stopping Obama now; if he is allowed to continue on trail, then Clinton and potential vice president Biden are in real trouble of getting the nomination. So it is not strange that Novak publishes his column at this moment.
Obama knows better though, and he will respond as a serious president would do it: using reason, and facts. No through intimidation.

Another strategy used by Hillary for not answering the questions:

'People know where I stand. I have 35 years of experience'.

'They are mudslinging me from the Republican playbook'.

Hillary, your issue is inability to answer the questions. Asking you stand on issues when you run for office is not mudslinging.

As for Obama, he is not whining. When someone put out the rumor that the other camp has something 'scandalous' about you, and they are not releasing it, you have to confront it. Rumors create suspicions. He wants to shed the light on the issues. Either they have something on him or they don't. If they do, let the issues come out so he can respond to it. If they don't, then say - they don't have anything. He is for transparency, which is more than I can say for Hillary.

Someone above says a true Democrats will vote for Hillary, and those who vote of others are Republicans in disguise. That's a sure way of driving people out of the Democratic party.

ok clinton worshipers take a deep breath and think instead of allowing your blind support for hillary to cloud your judgement, novak mentioned "hillary agents" specifically, hillary can either completely wash her hands off this scandal, and take on novak for spreading a lie, or she can admit that she and her agents planted the story with novak, either way obama did the right thing by responding its a campaign for president and its important that kerrys mistake not be repeated….

So let's see, we can continue on with the same kind of sleazy rumor and innuendo type of politics mastered by Bush/Rove/Cheney and apparently Clinton or we can actually elect someone with character, humanity and ethics that can begin to turn this great country into something we can be proud of again. Gee, I wonder who the brain dead American voter will go for this time?

What a woman? I just think people see through and realize how much we need a real president.

Mark from Springfield:

Do the Clinton's pay you to carry their message? It may have been a little less obvious if you had actually used your own words.

A new general election poll from Wisconsin has good news for both Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama as they look very strong in this usually tight state. Link

Good lord. I'm not even an American, but when I saw "Robert Novak" as the source of this information, I smelled the bait. Obama's done nothing to change my read of him as a good man, and an ideal candidate for when times are good. I feel that the US (and the Western world) cannot afford an American President who is this wet behind the ears at a time when we are all in such peril.

He is really reaching for straws now! This is about as left field a comment as I've ever heard. The proof of his actions is in the pudding. His history in politics is recent, documented, and not an obscure group of people not heard from since the 1970's. He cannot blame anyone else when his words and actions blow off his on foot! Swift mind, swift foot, swift ideas, swift team mabye–but not swift boat. The smell of fear, defeat, desperation is in the air.

Barak Hussein Osama is deeply scared of something.

Just the mere mention of "scandal" has him panicking and pleading with Hillary "pleasse don't attack me"

Wonder what skeletons are in his closet to make him that sensitive…

TheInsider,
I was wondering when you were going to emerge from you hole. Looks like the Hillary campaign indoctrination has a permanent effect on you

Straight out of the CLINTON playbook.

I can't believe how GULLIBLE people are in BELIEVING anything that comes from Novak. This guy would lie, cheat, steal and sell his mother to the devil to get headlines.

Novak is following the Republican playbook to the letter. He is throwing out a smear that NO ONE could ever verify in the hopes of getting the democratic candidates to start feeding on each other. He is sitting back and laughing his butt off at all of the Obama supporters trashing Hillary for his, more than likely, fake story AND YOU RUBES FELL FOR IT!

In this instance Obama completely fell for it hook, line and sinker and it shows how inexperienced he is at handling political mudslinging from the Republican Right. He should have directed all of his ire and questions, not to Hillary Clinton but to Robert Novak. He should have called Novak to task. He should have said that Novak should produce proof of what he wrote or he would be called a liar who makes up stories. Obama should have tossed the ball back into Novak's court and never addressed the Clinton Campaign.

It shows way to little experience in dealing with smear tactics. It also indicates that if he is the nominee he will probably be brutalized by the Republican attack machine and never be able to effectively fight back. In other words the Democrats will lose the presidency.

Another story related to the still "uncharged" journalist that brought us the Valerie Plame outing. Novak has gone downhill and is starting to fall into the area of scandal sheet writer. It's deplorable. Leaking rumor and innuendo as fact in the middle of a primary is incredibly stupid of Novak. If you have facts then tell them. If not, don't write about it. Isn't that considered libel?

Telling it like I see it,
Wynter

When will Novak finally see the inside of a jail cell?

I am really getting a kick out of the Obama supporters tonight. Between the debate denial and the Novak blunder it's like, "Saturday Night Live", here Thanks guys, for the entertainment.

If Hillary were to be elected, the American history would have recorded her as the first American female president with a footnote that says she shares her presidential power with her husband so it doesn't count.

I am an independent. If I must elect a female president, I would choose Dr. Condoleezza Rice with proven records of extensive public service. She is also a full professor in political science at Stanford.

I can't imagine anyone voting for either her or Obama. They have both proven to be liars.

Obama is a very serious candidate that I am growing to like more and more. He will not let Hillary Clinton fool us again. She believes we owe her the Presidency and she is prepared to use and divide us by gender, generation and/or which ever way she must in order to get elected! This, coming from a WOMAN. Yes a WOMAN! All this wink and knod junk is rediculous. I am too intelligent to vote for my President just because the candidate is female. Hillary is crazy to pull that kind of stupidity out of her hat. We (women) think just like everybody else. The problem with Sen. Clinton is that she has not given us any answers to difficult issues about which to think. Come on, Hillary, stop this childish nonsense of spreading awful rumors.

Hillarys true colrs are now shineing thru quite plane. Can't answer a question with out a political dance and the stage she is on won't be the same one when the sun comes up in the morning. Her experance for President?
What would that be? I can't tell'
If she ain't got anything positive to say and or give some straight answers on the campain trail/ Then I think we need to look some where out there for REAL LEADERSHIP! We need change/ the last 16 years were bad. Just hope and pray the right independant will come along. One that will level the playing field for All Americans.
Huckabee maybe/wish he was independant!
Independant Voter

Why isn't Novak in jail over the Plame incident?!

Sick of this type of politics????? Look at Huckabee. You might be surprized.

What in God's name is Obama doing?

Is he imbalanced?

Even though Robert Novak is a partisan republican, and may be ill-intended in publishing this article, I believe him.

Novak has too little to gain in fetching a story like this one.

Barrack made the right move dealing with this issue before it gets people wondering and anticipating some sort big blow to his campaign. And Obama is showing a little too much class dealing with Billary, when he has her cornered. Just like Karl "satan" Rove suggested, he needs to punch her right where it hurts.

Romney would have a field day with Billary, he is super aggressive.
