I'm from Illinois and O is out he has did nothing for Il. Go get him MS. Clinton, and u can put a sign in my yard any time. BJ

Just as Rudy runs on 9/11. The only concrete thing Obama can run on is his redundant "I opposed this war from the start." What you gonna do about the war now, oppose it some more?

Obama is actually the candidate most like Bush in that he will not be ready to command this country's foreign relations. By necessity Obama will need his team of puppeteers more than the other candidates will. Furthermore, neither him nor Hillary will win in a general election, even against the scum -Republicans.

There's only one viable Democrat and it's not Hillary, not Obama, not Edwards, not Mike Gravel, definitely not muddled-Richardson, not K . . . and sadly, Dodd probably could not win General Election either.

SICK, SICK,SICK!!! LMAO

Bill Clinton is old news, and therefore is no match for Obama..we need a BRAND new president that can change everything for the better! Not some old hag like Hillary who is only going to make things worse! Can anyone say corporate democrat?? Do we REALLY need someone like that in power?? For all of you Hillary supporters think about her 'universal health care' plan in the 90's! AS soon as she got that big paycheck from the insurance companies she shut up about it…imagine her as president!
OBAMA/EDWARDS 08!!!!!!!!!!!

Great post by S. Wright… heaven forbid they go back in History to learn about America's liberal founding fathers.

I know several others have decried the misleading headline. Personally, I found the tongue-in-cheek rather amusing. I think some folks are just taking everything way too seriously. Lighten up!

Megha, San Antonio, TX: "In an honest opinion, Obama's book is really really boring and confusing. He goes on and on and on without any conclusions or solid points.
Oh so the book is just like his debates. Go figure? CLINTON 08

"That's the great thing about Liberals. They can actually read and write books. Kudos to both."

Yeah. Fiction does have more of an audience nowadays.

Here's an idea: why don't you go read some real liberals like Hamilton, Madison, Mills, and Jay. Then come back and tell me if these people you categorize as "liberals" really are.

I know what they are, and it isn't liberalism at all.

What a picture together President Barack Obama and Vice President Bill Clinton in the white house.

What I want to know is: do people actually read these books? I mean, seriously…these guys are cranking out a book every 1.5 years. Along with their legislative duties, lecture circuits, etc., how can any of it be substantive? Could it be that everyone is just cashing in on liberals' thirst to regain the White House?

And, a note to ALL politicians: nobody wants to read your memoir. In fact, releasing a memoir is the height of arrogance.

Gotta go, now…working on my autobiography.

For those not in the know–most books today are also produced into audio books. Some can be quite theatrical. Thus–the Grammies. I wonder if either of them actually provided the voice? Could you imagine hours and hours of Bill or Obama droning in your ear? Yuck! It would be like chinese water torture.

I actually though Obama's audio book was really well done. Listened to it on a cross country road trip. Got me through the back end of Colorado and the whole of Kansas.

Alan Alda's is far superior to these others. Just sayin.

Ah, it wouldn't be CNN without horribly misleading headlines…I thought Barack and Bill were gonna be in a cage match! Two men enter, one man leaves!

To Bill in NJ:

A lot of back patting goes on in the White House, too!

I'll take the liberal kind, because when they pat each other on the back, the American people don't feel it in the back!

That's the great thing about Liberals. They can actually read and write books. Kudos to both.

How come all the award winning authors are democrats? Why can't a republican write an award winning book?

What a joke! Liberals patting each other on the back.

It's better than when the anti-gay ultra-conservatives pat each other in a region I can't mention here.

To you CNN: What a terrible teaser! For shame. Your headline did make me take a look-see, but this is "journalism" at its worst. You can do better, and usually do. This is not a tabloid, last time I looked!!

The Grammys are the voice/song equivalent of the Nobels…they'll give one to anyone with a socialist or "peaceful" agenda.

Obama is the ONLY one that can change this country for the better, under W and other lousy policies we as a nation our lost. No more Clinton, no more Bush

OBAMA IS NO MATCH FOR BILL CLINTON. BILL WILL BURY HIM. OBAMA SHOULD JUST QUIT FOR A WHILE, AND GROW UP, GET EXPERIENCE AND STOP DEPENDING ON QUEEN OPRAH.

I think Obama diserve more than Bill.

In an honest opinion, Obama's book is really really boring and confusing. He goes on and on and on without any conclusions or solid points. I stopped after 20 pages.
Haven't read Clinton's or Carter's.

The Grammy Awards are presented annually by the National Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences of the United States for outstanding achievements. They are often criticized for failing to adequately represent the popular sentiment of the public. The Recording Academy and record companies are responsible for entering the works that THEY deem most deserving. There is much debate about whether or not this sort of nominating process is the result of commercial, political or industry bias. Industry critics have argued that major award shows like the Grammy Awards are merely an attempt to congratulate their own while advertising their products and ideas through the use of selection bias in the nominating process. The winners, of course, naturally reflect "the social, political and artistic preferences of the nominating and voting members." Others openly question whether music award shows are relevant in today's digital society at all, especially now with such diluted categories such, "the spoken word" ,being represented as music.

I won't buy a used car from either of them, even if they both had mantles full of Grammys..

What are the grammies dont they mean the mtv music awards?

What a joke! Liberals patting each other on the back.

It just goes to show that the democrats have really awesome candidates.

I just can't wait to see how the cons are going to twist this one now.

Looks like a couple of good old boys looking for an intern.

I am wondering how this is news. I am getting confused with CNN almost everyday with what they are giving us as news. I bet someone needs to get fired!

I cannot believe that adult people would vote for someone just because a celebrity backs a particular candidate. A person should not be elected because Oprah is for him. Beleive it or not her agenda does not reflect most of yours. Do you think she is in your tax bracket…or shares the same desires as you and your families?? People you need to wake up encourage Oprah not to use her personal sucess to influence the American people as to who they choose for politics. Celebes should open up their lives just like the candidates, answering Q's about her personal life and explaining all exploits of her life!! Lastly Oprah you should see the problems with your actions!! Just because you like someone doesn't mean he is the best for all Americans. You should explain to people that just because you think someone is right for you doesn't mean he is right for them!

So, if you are a Politician, or someone with a bit of Celebrity, all you have to do is write a book (with a ghost writer), record it on tape, and BLAM! You get a Grammy!

Of course, Grammy's are only important to people ACTUALLY in the BIZ. But hey, get what you can, maybe it can help gain some notoriety?

I wonder how much Oprah's influence will help to secure this for her pet project?

Now, where did I put those tapes of my radio show?

Hillary and Obama battle it out right now, but who knows, one could end up being the other's boss. If you want to make a difference for Election 2008, why not share your opinions of the candidates at YouRankTheRace.org?

Obama offered hope to many people when this country desperately needed it and that is when G.w.Bush this country crazy. I want a country where I can go to work without the goverment being the central part of my life and things that don't matter!

PLEASE give Jimmy Carter the Grammy. It will add to his throphy collection as the most famous America hater ever…

WHY is no one talking about Michigan? Hillary Clinton has that primary in the bag because she said to Obama/Edwards/Richardson; you guys go first, I'll catch right up.

What am I refering to? The Michigan State Democraic party shoving its primary forward and breaking party rules. Obama/Edwards/Richardson and I think Biden all had their names removed from the ballot, everyone else merely promised not to campaign there. Hillary Clinton was the front runner at the time, leading the pack, but she didn't dare lead the pack when it may not be in her own best interests.

Everything Obama promises has no past or present proof that he accomplished any. While Guliani and Romney have governed States/Super Cities, Obama's only project has been a neighborhood community in Chicago.

Clinton is focssung on issues for America such as the mortgage crisis. Excellent. Thanks Hillary for talking issues that matter to America wearing your own skirt unlike Obama who is hiding under Oprah's skirt. Talking issues that matter is the reason Clinton will be elected. Hillary cares more about America than simply winning.

Democrats will regret the next 4 years if they elect Obama to stand against Guliani or Romney. These 2 Republicans have resumes that only Clinton's and all other Democratic candidates except Obama's can withstand. Guiliani and Romney will will hit Obama with a type of experience that he will not resist.

Some Democrats simply want to see Obama beat Clinton for the wrong reasons. But let them wait for an Obama slap by Guliani or Romney. Republican know they can get back the Whitehouse if any of the 2 candidates stood against Obama because Obama has nothing to show for experience which will be the cornerstone of Republican assault. Then Democrats will be biting their fingers having first thought the next Prez would be Democrat by hook or crook after the Bush debacles.

Obama does not have anything to substantive to add to the debate, so he responds to very issue in ad hominem fashion.

Oprah is hitting the road for you . Good for you and Oprah. You go go. Till we get there!
