I never expected this language from Bill! Dissapointing! His image is ruined forever! He went to far!

Bill, you're just jealous, full of sour grapes. Obama is the new kid in town and the press is protecting him just like they protected you.

I am sick of the political dynasties: Clinton, Bush, Kennedy. These people have been in office forever and nothing ever changes, except maybe the lies that come out of all their mouths.

We need new people if we want real change.

Something is not understandable with people and the media! Maybe we need to go back and watch Bill struggle finding words against Obama.

But Facts are there. There were half a dozen of former Presidents who were elected far below in experience as compare to charisma Obama, Abe Lincoln was one.

Bill and his Wife just want to hold onto the throne but I think should democrats make mistake, republicans will hit another golden chance and nothing will change.

I wholeheartedly agree with Bill Clinton. One year in the Senate is not nearly enough time in goverment to make a good President. Not only does Hillary Clinton have exceptional experience, she has personal relationships with people in government, both here and abroad, that would make her a seasoned president from the very first day in office.

Even though I am a democrat, and have spent one year without my husband, while he fought in Iraq, I would vote for any Republican with more experience over Obama. We don't need a "rock star". We need a true leader.

Hillary, my prayers are with you every day. Keep up the good work!

Gino Loloya: You should think before you write! You are at best ill-informed; at worst, bigoted.

Madrassa simply means "school" in Arabic. This fact isn't changed because much Western media finds it convenient to associate them with Islamic terrorism. If you bothered to do some investigation/thinking yourself, you would know that simply attending a Madrassa doesn't imply you're an anti-western Muslim terrorist.

"…but I knew in my bones I shouldn't run, that I was a good enough politician to win, but I didn't think I was ready to be president."

Good thing Obama's not you.

As much as I respect the former president, he is the last person to be passing judgment on ANYone. I've lived in NY state since I was born, rather than just a year before a senate race so that I could run for political office, and I still can't believe that we as a country have allowed Senator Clinton's arrogant, self-serving carpetbagging (remember that term, folks?) to escalate to this point. With all due respect, Mr. President, you've both had your share of power, and quite frankly I'd prefer the possibility of your "fairy tale" coming true over the belligerence that you unfortunately both exhibit when you're not ranked first in the polls.

Hillary is and has been the only candidate that makes common sense. If ever we needed experience in leadership, this is the time. Wake up, people. Our country is facing monumental problems, and we need a Democrat who sees the whole picture and has concrete ideas on how to deal with domestic and foreign challenges.

I am totally agree with the President. Look at what President Bush has done to the country with "not much" experience. We are at critical time, the country is in deep troubles. We absolutelly can not afford to have a leader without experience even he might claim himself "a possible fast learner". We can not wait , the world will not wait, and of course China, Russia , and more will never ever wait for him "to get trained." We may chit chat about likable and not likable, but once get to the business we must and need to base on facts and records. What experience is based on? whether a young man with less than two years in senate and not being tested or a woman with at least 35 years of public service and tested her leadership roles. I will vote for Hillary not because I like her or not but because I strongly believe she is electable, totally ready for the job, and far more capable to lift up the country once again. Last but not least that's with my bet on her I would not have nightmare about the "risk" I choose.

Sorry Hillary that was some bad acting; how important is experience if you only want to be elected for selfish reasons… You lost in Iowa, your response: it’s not important, (sower grapes) During the debate Edward and Obama spoke about the bad experience their parents had with the health care system; your response: lets have a reality check….
I would rather have a Harry S. Truman who didn’t have much experience or a college degree, but did great things for the people of this nation and the world, because he really care .

Bill is just angry his wife is not winning!!!!
Sorry bill but I think its time for a young, smart, strong, and lovable person to lead the nation. Obama is a smart man i don't think he will make big enough mistake to destroy our country, Bush already did that; I believe Obama is going to fix that.
He is our only hope because there is no one else out there that is honest. We don't want your wife who is the largest receiver of donations from pharmaceutical companies, the very people she says she is going to fight against.
The political game is over, we know the truth, and I think its time you know that she is going to loose.

Senator Obama's Muslim roots are a big question in my mind. I have heard "Once a Muslim always a Muslim". Also heard that Obama himself was in Madarassa for nearly three years of his early life in Indonesia. This fact alone weighs in favor of all others when there is an identifiable religion based crisis in the World today where for right or wrong reasons all of the subject wars in the past twenty years are fought in or around Muslim countries. Being Muslim is not wrong, but having colored by fanatic Muslim Madarassas can go long ways into the American politics. All I know of Madarassas is that they preach constantly into innocent brains that United States is wrong in anything they do.

Does anyone not look at the Obama campaign website??I mean what politician wants to do away with ID for voting–yes, let's get rid of the one method of verifying you as an American citizen, an American privelege. And yes, let's fine illegal immigrants for never becoming citizens and put them at the back of the line for citizenry, but not kick them out of the country, thus allowing them to continue what they have been doing and not forcing them to pay back taxes…and did anyone forget about his book's first "coming out" and how he had to write that was later added because "his book was a hate on whitey" book??…let's also not forget that far left—socialism–which falls under the umbrella of communism..Boy, the cold war didn't mean a thing.
Oh, and please remind me about his wanting to make higher education less important…i paid two car's worth of tuition to get a degree…Obama wants to give people who didn't finish high school or that went to jail the opportunity to be your boss–basically letting you know that you paid all that money to get a higher paying job, and you don't have to because Obama will let you advance without then need for educational value…What did I go to school for?!…and America is already behind in the educational curve–let's just make it worse–Hooray for Obama…

And does anyone care as to why suddenly Oprah is up pushing for the only black man? Why the only movies you've ever seen her in was a slave movie? And why she continues to say that where she grew up in MS is the ghetto? Because I grew up there, same exact time, and it was the furthest thing from the Ghetto…

Who care's if he's black or purple–his policies lack experience, yet he's new…my socks are NEW, why don't we just vote for them.

We need sme fresh air in the world. the so called "experienced people" have destroyed the harmonie again. it s time to get clean and Obama would be the only international president in the world.

Obama could restore America again. No more hatred, political gaming and wars and rumors of wars. Today it's Iraq, and guns were cocked only yesterday against Iran. Meanwhile 48 million American citizens have no health insurance. I mean, where is the morality in this? Why not elect someone who is talking about the right issues? Clinton voted to start a WAR, Obama thought that was WRONG and didn't. I would sooner vote Republican than Clinton. No more Clinton dynasty!

o'bama the great

o'bama the great in 08″

I disagree with Bill in this one. Experience is important to consider but he made a mistake by saying that Obama should not have run at all. The fact is, Obama is popular for more than just his skin color. His emotional and logical appeal to the people is what could win him the presidency. He is very qualified. In my opinion. He brings on the idea if a new dawn for America. He gives us the Audacity To Hope. Read his book and you'll see why he's fit for candidacy. Obama in 08!

Bill has lost his marble. I had a better opinion for him even after his scandal. Now I am just disgusted. Unbelievable.

I am astonished with Bill Clinton's comment on Obama's readiness because when he (Bill) thought he was ready, he really wasn't. How else do you explain his invention of the most innovative way, ever, to smoke a cigar?
The truth is that, America has one of the most tested/efficient (if not the most) democracy and system of governance in the world. It has time over time proved that the risks/idiosyncracies he apparently fears from Obama becoming the Commander-in-Chief are dealt with and never compromised. I am yet to see the system allow America's national interest to be put at risk.

Mr. Clinton, I hope after you made a mistake of many lyings while in the White House, and now please don't make a mistake again after you left. I believe usually ordinarly people if their spouses are unfaithful to them, they would have already divorce them.

Unfortunately Mrs. Clinton stayed with you is because she still needs you to put her in the White House. Mrs. Clinton is very hunger for power. You both are just using each other. After all, both of your hearts know best what you truly want - power or help this country. Mr. Obama is good or not, nobody knows, only the history can tell. Even though I won't vote for him, at least he is a man who shows he loves his wife, fatihful to her, and his children.

Marriage is a two person business, if there is any problem in the marriage, both sides have problems, even though only one commits adultery. If Mrs. Clinton doesn't know how to take care of her own marriage and home, then how can she manage a country.

"A person who doesn't even know how to manage his home, how can he manage a country."

I don't like democrats, all they do is complain and whine. I don't like republicans, all they do is make $$ for big corps.
But I'll tell you this much, democrats disgust me more because they punish success. Hillary has and wants to continue to punish doctors. If all the doctors leave america who will take care of you?
The best choice for dem's is Obama. He's young, smart, fresh, and the "lack of experience" really means he's not as dirty a politician. Hillary is a fraud, Edwards is a fraud. Obama less so.

As a right winger, I can't imagine any decent Republican losing to any of them except perhaps Hillary (if she can manage to get the female vote liek she ought to). Now that Hillary is losing, looks like she'll be our (NYS) Senator forever.
Anyhow, all the leading Dems are so pathetically weak. Obama and Edwards have made such foolish statements in the past. And Hillary has all the baggage.
Too bad Lieberman is old.

Seth, what is wrong with being a liberal…is that a negative word…nevermind you cant reason with Bushies, they have no hearts or brains!

Joyce, i see Hillary's has you fooled. Did Bill Clinton have experience in foreign policy prior to taking office…no; did the current dufus in office have experience in office….no; did Ronald Regan have experience prior to taking office….no; So what the hell are you talking about……Give me a break regarding her book…she did it for the money…when they left office the were both in debt….dont be ignorant of the facts…its annoying!

Clinton, you did not run for president in 1988 because you were too busy chasing Paula and other bimbos…is that why you did not run? Clinton had to make sure he silenced his bimbos!

Have any of you read her book? She has not only experience but diplomatic relations that Obama sure doesn't. I've heard his "books" show that he has promise, but he's not ready. Her book wasn't written to prove herself; it's an honest tracking of their lives. It shows, not only her accmplishments, but that their family is just a real family. And so dedicated they put work WAY above self and made mistakes.

One of my adored Presidents is Bill Clinton but his judgement on Obama I beg to differ.I think my beloved former President is biase on this, experience is not always the best teacher.Surely if Bill cared so much about America and world why did he keep quiet on Iraq with all his experience on who should be the President. Come on America don't be cheated its enough of Clintons and Bushes they had there time move on. Obama 08

I PICKED HARRY TRUMAN IN'48,EISENHOWER IN 52,KENNEDY IN 60,JOHNSON IN 64,NIXON(AS MUCH AS I HATED TO)IN 68,CARTER OVER FORD,REAGAN OVER CARTER,THE FIRST BUSH,CLINTON AND DUBYA.ON THE BASIS OF THIS RECORD I THINK ITS SAFE TO SAY OBAMA WILL BE OUR NEXT PRESIDENT.(AND A VERY GOOD ONE AT THAT.) I HAVE NO DOUBT THAT HE WILL RETURN US TO THE TIME OF JFK WHEN 2,000,000 PEOPLE IN PARIS AND BERLIN CAME TO CHEER THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES.

"The people say Obama is ready.

Thank you Tucker, very nicely said "The dogs are not eating the dog food."

WE SUPPORT HILLARY '08

She's the only one who can "roll up her sleeves and clean up the mess" left by the GOP — NOT dreamer boy!!

Or vote Biden or Richardson b/c God save our country if the newbie gets elected - who isn't even wise enough to realize what he DOESN'T KNOW yet; let alone play pin-the-tail-on-the-donkey in the Oval Office –> He clearly should have waited until 2012 or 2016. He's only 47, but he's such a baby that he's demanding to be King now Sadly the great Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Senator Obama is certainly NOT!!!! AND Oprah should stick with her own life and hawking her Book Club (which she can't even get right all the time either).

NO MORE having to explain to our children - why it's (NOT) OKAY for the President Of Our Nation to do drugs!!! It's time to take back our country and make America proud again.

JUST SAY NO - TO OBAMA IN 2008

Obama is a black liberal. The cuteypie factor will be squashed by the 800 lbs. gorilla in the room representing the crime and violence excused by black liberals. Just look at:
http://www.ethniccrime.blogspot.com/
to see the reality on the street and the "hoods"…it's quite different than in DC's power centers.

Bill is correct. To think otherwise is ignorant, a republican or a cult member.

All I can tell that people of the United States of America are amart voters Now than ever. We are intelligent voters. We will vote for the candidate that has the experience and knowledge to run our country. Someone who is determined, intelligent and tough. I have seen all that with Hillary. She is so by far the most qualified candidate to be the President of the United States. I am looking forward to the first woman President of the United States of America.

Stupidest thing that Clinton could ever say… What do you think the republicans will do with this talking point in the general if Obama is the democratic nominee? We will see this clip over and over again on Fox News from August to November of 08.

The following is posted by jack of NY…………….So Obama we know about past two decades. However you are 46 years old. What were you doing up till the age of 26. Why are you not discussing who you really are? Why are you ashamed of your parents religion?
OBAMA IS AS CORRUPT AS ANY OTHER POLITICIAN…his past bid shady…..Posted By jack, ny, ny : December 17, 2007 2:51 pm

Why are you so interested in Obama when he was under age 26? Obama has put himself out there publicly. You only need to read his two books, Dreams of My Father, and The Audacity of Hope, have a better appreciation of the man before and during his political career. Unlike Hillary Clinton, Obama actually wrote his books. The 2008 election is about the future, not the past. But if you want to be fair (maybe a stretch for a die-hard Hillary-supporter), you should hold up each candidates earlier life experiences. For example, Hillary was a Republican in his teenage and college years, so flip-flopping for her began at an early stage in her life.

Go home Bill

It's pretty terrible Bill is coming out to denounce and indirectly abuse Barack over something he defended during his campaign those in 1992 at Barack's age and experience, but which Americans yet voted him in. And that's why, I think this his outburst is going to boomerang. Karma! That is what it's called. I used to love him, but I don't know for now if I still do because of all these attacks on somebody who talks good of him.

Bill Clinton is a risk to national security, while Obama is far from it. When a person is a risk, he or she likes to point his or her finger at other so-called "risks" to hide themselves in the dark.

Obama's name was chosen by his parents when he was born. Bill Clinton chose the path he wanted to take as an adult.

Marie you really talk like a truck driver….for your information "Hussien" is muslim name. Obama may not be muslim however he is very relcutant in acknowledging his life up till 26 years of age…IS THAT BEING HONEST. HE JUST IGNORES IT AND STARTS TALKING ABOUT HIS TRINITY CHRUCH FROM LAST TWO DECADE.

So Obama we know about past two decades. However you are 46 years old. What were you doing up till the age of 26. Why are you not discussing who you really are? Why are you ashamed of your parents religion?

OBAMA IS AS CORRUPT AS ANY OTHER POLITICIAN…his past bid shady.

Let`s get real here. What kind of meaningful experience can Hillary have managed when she apparently was kept busy 24/7 trying to ride herd on Bill`s philandering. We know that Bill did not "see the light" re; his sexual addiction untill the late nineties, when he sought counselling….

To the point of this article. Bill Clinton gave us the Crime Bill, incarcerated more people during his adminstration than any other President;was just fine with mandatory Sentencing, which has non-violent drug offenders doing more time than murderers. All ok with the Clintons. Her stand on the crack/powder cocaine is a sign of where she will take us; she will try to out-Republican the Republicans. Not to mention her decision is RACIST, since more Afican Americans are afflicted with crack cocaine addiction, while whites use the powder. So for all those Blacks supposedly supporting her out there, pay attention!! "Don't be fooled again."

Wars of the nineties?? So much for the first black President..

Don't get me wrong, I liked facets of the Clinton Presidency. Some of these facets were far better than we have now. However, Bill Clinton is not right on this one. Clinton made major mistakes even with the experience he had. His major blunder was not telling the truth. If he thought that he did not want to tell it, he should have pleaded the 5th and fought it out, until he could tell the truth. He's an attorney and he knew that. Senator Clinton's brand of politics backfired twice when she was 1st lady…1. Health Care Fiasco 2. Failure to get a nominee into the cabinet…for Attorney General

The Politics of Personal Destruction.

Who knows it better than the Clintons??

Oprah has been my favorite talk show host, but there is no doubt in my mind why she is voting for Obama and I don't feel that we as America's need a talk show celebrity to tell us who to vote for. I will not again watch her show. I do not have any racial opinions about Obama, but I do feel that america is not ready for an Obama Hussain in our top leadership role…not today!

Posted By Steve Tecumseh, Kansas : December 16, 2007 10:03 pm

Steve you proved yourself a liar in that last paragraph. As for Hillary's cabinet, it will be assembled with a bunch of folks that the Clinton's owe favors to, of that you can be sure.

I honestly don't understand why people think that Hillary is 'ready to lead form Day One'. She's got, what, almost 8 years in elected office, with a much less than stellar Senate record, oh yeah, she did vote for the war twice, and antagonized Iran as well. Just what we need in the White House at this stage in our history. she'd probably appoint Cheney as her Sec of Defense.

Nice try, Bill. but your wife is not as experienced as you try to make us believe. not buying into your desperation.

Voting or NOT voting for Obama is not about being or NOT being Racists like Obama Supporters want people to believe…. He is just NOT experienced enough to lead this country with HUGE economical crisis at this time.

I agree with the President - Obama is a huge risk. Anyone but Obama. I love Hillary but if she were not running it would be Biden. Let's focus on a winner not a whiner

How do Hillary's years as a First Lady qualify her to be President? I suppose if you are close enough to the one wielding this power, it rubs off on you?

He is a big risk. His middle name is Hussein. That is about as Muslim as it gets. Wrong Person to lead this country.

___________________________________

I am not Obama supporter. He has said over and over again that he is with trinity church for two decades. I find it very very disturbing that he is NOT TELLING THE WHOLE TRUTH about this issue. Why can't he say that yes he was raised by muslims. He has practising Islam relative. Why can't he just say that he did spend early years with parent who happened to muslim. It is obvious he had no choice. And he grew older he made his choice and became christian.

OBAMA IS JUST FAKING HONESTY. HE IS AS CORRUPT AS ANY OTHER POLITICAN.

An Ex Democratic President attacking a Democrat that is running for President is Un heard of and improper. But this is what we can expect if Hillary wins. There will be no professional lines that Bill will not cross.

We will be getting Bill’s opinion on one end of the new and Hillary opinion on the other end of news. Bill will break all standing rules of what an Ex President or First wife should and should not be doing or commenting on.

It will be a bigger Circus then in the 90’s. The Media and the Republicans will have a field day with them and further tarnish the office of the Presidency. There is a thing called “Moving on” folks.

Can someone explain how pointing out lack of experience is dirty? How making an argument for experience as a qualification dirty? So typical of the Obama camp- never answer a charge on its merits. Just accuse the other side of being dirty. Use the deep seeded hatred of the Clintons to advance your political ambitions and then claim to be running a positive campaign. Let's only hope that if you are elected President you will actually stand up to the right and stop their radical agenda at which point people will have the same negative attitudes toward you.

For those of you who think Bill and Hillary are a package deal, you should have watched the Today show this morning. When asked about why Obama is a risk, Hillary wouldn't respond to the question. She did her typical sidestepping. If they believe this, they should explain so the common person knows the risk as well. Putting anyone in the white house is a gamble…the last seven years should prove that…by the way, I am proud to say I never voted for Bush. But I am willing to give a new person a fresh start if they have sound judgement. Obama has proven that he can unite people, has GOOD judgement, and an innate ability to lead. He has the drive to do what is right for our country. Hillary just desires power. I sincerely hope we all use sound judgement when voting. The mistakes Hillary have made have been huge in my opinion. She votes to go along with the crowd, not to stand up to pressure.

Looks like Bill really stepped on someone's tail that is OBAMA STAFFERS are busy making all these statements under different name so that it may seem like people are outrage. NICE TRY. PLEASE GET A REAL JOB.

That is exactly why I am voting for Obama. Thanks Bill for hitting the nail right on the head!
OBAMA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

When Bill Clinton claims that Obama has only one year of experience in the US Senate, he omits the fact that Obama spent 10 years in the Illinois Senate and was elected US Senator to represent by an 82% majority.

To Undecided,Anaheim Ca:
You are worst than Jay of Omaha, Nebraska. It's a shame that a person like you who reside in a middle of a supposedly multi-cultured community have the audicity to declare your bigotry. You are utterly disgusting pig.

Shame shame shame on you Bill and Hillary. Trying to get your numbers in the poll back by playing dirty…is that what you stand for?

Corruption in politics is deep and takes many forms….America is a diverse country lost in the wake of poor leadership and huge miscalculations in judgement and honesty….. integrity matters most…who has integrity…who will speak to power, not yell? no decry the opponents as evil or in language that is devicive - polarizing, who tells us their hearts opinion and not the calculated 'what will this mean in the polls' to 'special interest' etc.

The Clinton's are a team. I've had enough of them.

They are intelligent, but Intergrity matters most.

I agree with the former President.

The presidency is crucial,especially after the President Bush era, which has hurt America more than it has helped. The next president should be more about the problems that the country has suffered.

Senator Obama has made a few good judgment and never really had to correct a poor one. However, it is almost impossible that he'll be able to continually make the correct choice, and it is much riskier for the country for to make a poor judgment as the President than as a Senator.

From this, I'm assessing that he's not fit to lead the country right now. However, he should be more than ready 4-5 years from now.

Oh my word…this makes the 15th time Obama has said, "They are only saying this because of their poll numbers, they must be scared blah, blah, bluk!" Did you ever think, Barack, that people may simply don't think you have an ouce of intergrity and that's why they are saying what they are saying. I have NEVER voted for a Republican for POTUS, EVER! But I'm leaning that way if you get the nomination. I am so sick of your self-righteous posturing that I could puke. We need leadership, not some pompous pig. Anybody but OBAMA!!!

Go Biden!

Bill has NO CLASS. Can any one remember the last time an EX Democratic President spoke negatively towards another Democrat as they ran for Office. I can't remember one. Plus Bill is still Lying. Obama has been in politics longer than Hiliary. As far as Foreign Policy, all of Bill old employees are working with OBAMA. " I wonder why." Since this is the case, wouldn't that mean Obama is actually ready to LEAD from the Day he takes office. Why would a Democrat vote for a Clinton. She is using all of Bill's old speeches when he ran. If you really examine his record. He did not deliver on his promise and instead sold the American workers out. Why give his wife a second chance to pick up where he left off. And correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't George Bush and his minions supporting Hiliary???? Go figure. and GO AWAY BILL. You continue to be a DISGRACE.

You are actually way off track, Clinton, Bill that is, got on Charlie Rose to say this crap. When has Michelle Obama been on Charlie Rose? I do not believe ever.

Where has Hilary been this weekend, while Bill is out doing the selling of her talents (& selling predjudicial information)? Her campaign ( and its crew ) is running wild, just as wild as the idea that she could be our next President. NO WAY, another clinton in the white house is 100% unlikely, hands down, especially if Bill keeps getting in front of the media. Doesn't Hilary know that he is her biggest liability now, because when he shows up and speaks she looks less Presidential, each and everytime, he will backfire on her chances to win. Oh, so then keep it up Bill, go ahead and act stubbornly, get in your wife's way.

FEAR TACTICS

He is a big risk. His middle name is Hussein. That is about as Muslim as it gets. Wrong Person to lead this country.

Obama is not Muslim for God's sake! When will people like yourself get that through their thick heads!!! Do me a favor, try not being a bigot!!!

OBAMA 08!!

I believe that Obama is our future but not our immediate future. He needs to be in government longer. President Bush is the perfect example why we should not go with inexperience. Cheney pulled all the strings because Bush was not smart enough. Our country probably will never be able to climb out of the hole that group has put us in.

I agree with those who prefer a new start
for our country; with all the risks:
Bill Clinton made a profound mistake: I think it is one of our greatest mistakes in the action (or lack of) after the collapse of the Russian (Soviet) government, 1994. That would have made a real ally possible in the
Middle East. Instead Pres. Clinton let
old fashioned Wall Street type hands prevail so that finally the Russians are glad to put up with Putin.

There has been no discussion on this and other mistakes such as in the Balkans by the so-called experts who want to come back with the Clintons.

Respectfully, former the former president's statements about Senator Obama is self serving. Further, Senator Clinton's White House experience is encased in her husbands infidelity. But you don't wan to go there.

Bill does not understand that he should have been the last person to tell us that his wife is the most qualified, because he is 'kind of' related to her. Now he talks like a snake-oil salesman trying to sell us Hillary and himself. Their zero credibility is the problem. Perpetual liars don't even realize that they are at it again.

At this point, Hillary should consider herself lucky if she can keep her NY senate seat when her term is up. They really want to go back to the White House, where their permanent home should be. That's what happens when we allow anybody to live in the White House for too long. They think they own it and its (national treasure) furniture. They managed to have made a mistake of taking $190,000 worth of White House furniture with them. Stealing is often another form of lying. President G.W. Bush may not be the best president in history, but you can trust him and Laura with any items in the White House.

If we can't even trust the Clintons with our national treasures in the White House, how can we trust them with our country again?

Kevin, FL, I agree with you.
Connie Floyd, TX, Oprah has a sausy tongue. jack, NY, took one idiot out and put another one in WH, it is a huge risk for our Country. Dorian CA, there's no time wasted for on-the-job training. Anon, Des Moine, Iowa, it is true, Bill Clinton is correct, it will be a risk for Dem party and a bigger risk to America if Obama gets nominee.
Jeremy, Jacksonville FL, what Obama did for us or Country? There's no Obama's time, there is time for strong and experienced Hillary Clinton. dj, Sanfrancisco, your mind is too narrow to see the Country's situation, Bill Clinton is the best politician in our history, your comment is very stupid.

<>

Jay in Nebraska? You are a pathetic excuse for an American. I honestly can not believe that you posted what you did. It is folks like yourself that make me be ashamed. And who were your ancestors, Jay? What were their origins and why did they migrate here? Or were they American Indian like mine and heard the same sort trash coming out of their neighbor's mouth within their own eras? Shame on you, Jay. Shame on you.

THIS is for all of the people who are crying blood because Bill is supporting his wife. Most of these people are really stupid. DO YOU SEE OBAMA MAKING GOOD COMMENTS FOR HER HUSBANDS COMPETITORS. NO right so what is wrong in that. Most of these anti-clinton's have brain of size of a pea.

I have read ALL the comments posted. I agree and disagree with many of the comments. I too don't believe that Obama has the experience or maturity to lead the country. His so called VOTE on the Iraq war should not be even a consideration. He was not in the Senate at that time to cast a vote. Perhaps he spoke against going to war, but so did 50% of Americans and we are not running for President. He can move a crowd and he is likable, but are those attributes that we are looking for at this time in our country? One thing that you can not take away from Hillary Clinton, she is an extremely smart woman and I believe that she will align her cabinet with the smartest and influencial people that she can find. The question as to why Clinton's former advisors are now with Obama…ask. Every one is concerned about "politics of the past" so Hillary has new people and we assume that it is because the "like" Obama better. If they were behind Clinton's campaign, you would say "politics as usual." She can not win what ever she does with her non-supporters. Michelle Obama makes outrageous statements, but they are not headline news. Bill Clinton, who is the most sought after speaker today, we take and use it against Hillary. She is a hard worker and has the political background and experience to lead on day one. I believe that others such as Joe Biden also have the experience necessary to become President, but people don't like his "forward and no-frills" attitude. So we are moving towards the """"move forward"""""""""" theme that is just that a theme. Unite this country with words. Oprah has been my favorite talk show host, but there is no doubt in my mind why she is voting for Obama and I don't feel that we as America's need a talk show celebrity to tell us who to vote for. I will not again watch her show. I do not have any racial opinions about Obama, but I do feel that america is not ready for an Obama Hussain in our top leadership role…not today!

Obama is arrogant and does not understand he is not ready to serve as president."

To Mark: Why are you using arrogant when you really mean "uppidy?" You're wondering how a brilliant, young black man in American has the courage, in the face of people like you, to run for president?

Well, Obama has the courage, the confidence, and the grace. And he's going to win.

Bill Clinton is still from the South, and it shows.

YEAH OBAMA LOOKS FORWARD BECAUSE HE GOT NO BACK. THAT IS WHY HE HAS HIRED MAJORITY OF CLINTON ADVISORS…….GUY IS A JOKE….HE IS TRYING TO WALK LIKE A BILL HOPING TO BE LIKE BILL AS PRESIDENT..COPYKATS CAN GO SO FAR. SOONER OR LATER COPYING FALLS APART

The only risk we face is not electing the one man in either party that has a new vision for the US and the world.

He is brilliant as Clinton says. He also has something the Clinton's lack, and that is character. I'll take the brilliant man with character over a political hack with many years in Washington any day, any time.

The only thing we have to fear is fear itself.

Go for it. We are Americans - we take risks - that is what makes us great.

I much prefer the battlefield with Obama than hiding in a bunker with Clinton.

Experience? Like letting terrorists walk around while they were being handed to us? (see the 9/11 report people)

Clinton is here for Clinton not for US, that's it in a nut shell.
She has experience, when it is in her favor, when it isn't then she had nothing to do with it.
See Bill's statements on why Hillary care did not work the first time. It was his fault he says, but she has the experience? If they thought he stuff wouldn't pass before because of him, imagine what will happen when she tries to pass things now!

She has been taking on the republicans for 15 years and winning, according to her, but what has she won? Not to mention the fact that they will not work with her if she is elected. meaning 4 years of gridlock in the houses.

ANYONE BUT HILLARY '08

anyone but OBAMA

cant believe how so many people type out their as s and not pay attention. for those of you that swear to vote republican if Obama is nominated, well other than Ron Paul, enjoy casting your vote to some self-righteous canidate that will be more pleased to make lower and middle-classed america drown, while they only care to make corporate america more powerful, church rule over state, and an inevitable war with Iran.
for crying out loud open your ears and listen to what is available. We are on the brink to finally be able to elect someone that will do so many wonderful things for this country in so many ways.
STOP BEING NAIVE and read what plans Obama has on so many critical issues we all hear about. Edwards has a good plan here and there and so does bidden and richardson. But Obama has the strength in numbers and shown more character and integrity than any other. As for Hillary. like i read early by Andy in NY NY, i bet she does seperate from Bill after she loses. He wont serve her anymore. She only kept him around to help her win. I dont trust her. enough said.
And as for inexpierience . it has been shown that many other Presidents have come in with as much if not less that Obama. And for those that had more. no one has done this country any good in the last 30+ years.

why not read Hillary's plans while you are at…..anyone except Obama.

Jay, you are an idiot. You're not going to vote for someone because of his MIDDLE NAME? ARE YOU KIDDING ME?!?!? Stop repeating that kind of ignorant nonsense and get out once in awhile, you might find that decent people look all different ways and have many different kinds of names.

I think that Bill Clinton couldn't be anymore wrong! his wife isn't going to be president and now tehre freaking out because they were for sure they were going to win and there not. Notice I said they because it's not just hillary it's hillary and bill! She couldn't do near is as good as Obama could whenver it come's to the white house and I think that obama is the right way to go and will be for the next 8 year's. I think him and Edward's are going to make a good team and I am looking foward to them taking over the white house and turning this country around for the better for once.

I can't believe American companies pay this guy $150K to speak at their functions. Bill Clinton is the most well-known liar in the United States, and a wealthy one at that. All the more reason to keep him out of the white house.

The biggest RISK for this nation is to let the CLINTONs back into the white house. But I know the American people are smarter than Bill and Hillary think they are, they will NOT vote Clinton in because she is truly an outsider. She is the last person able to bring a group together. She is polarizing and her personality lacks compassion and truthfulness.

Here we go again….what are we really looking for PRESIDENT OR A DATE FOR YOUR SISTER OR DAUGHTER….think about it. As far as I am concern both Bill can have as much as sex he wants…I WANT AMERICA BACK ON THE TOP.

As a white 54 year old female recent Republican voter turned Independent voter, I’d vote for Obama. I feel he cares more the country than the party he’s running in! The Clintons only want power and will do whatever it takes, they did it in the 1990’s and they are doing it now! Lies after lies, cover up after cover ups; and most of the media will not address this! Billy is just a smooth talker! In fact I predict that if Hillary does not win the presidency, she and Billy will divorce. I have always felt their marriage is one of convenience. As far as Obama admitting his drug use, that showed honor and morals; at least he didn’t say ‘I didn’t inhale’ or ‘I didn’t snort’! Yes, this country is ready for a female President, but it’s not ready for Hillary!

The continual use of Bill Clinton as an authority on anything continues to amaze me. As usual the Clinton campaign continues their negative comments to constantly erode the Obama Campaign and any other candidate that gets in their way. I feel that the lack of interest in the US about any elections allows this type of negative targeting to continue without any objection. I wish the US press would become an advocate for the truth and expose this interview for what it is vs. spending 24/7 on less important issues.

I believe that Bill was actually very Frank, I feel the same way, Sen. Obama didn't motivate me the way Clinton did back in '92, I feel Sen. Clinton speaks to me, I feel she speaks to middle America, with hope but with the reality that we must work hard to bring about change, not the cloud in the sky speech. Sen. Obama offers no real approach to change. Look at Sen clinton's halth care plan, I believe that she reached across all minds to put together something both republicans and Democrats could vote for… and for those trying to elevate Sen. Obama experience as an Educator and his intelligence… NO ONE should question the Intelligence of ANY of the candidates, these people are successful individuals give them the respect they deserve, including Sen. Clinton she has earned that right.

I want use this blog to trash Bill or Hillary; I like them both, as slickish as they are. I completely disagree with Bill. Obama has what it takes to lead this country in a new and positive direction. I was wabbling between Hillary and Obama. I've decided to go with Obama and I have to be honest Bill & Hillary's desperate attempts was the key.

Hey Bill, remember Abraham Lincoln? Served two years in the US House of Representatives.

Not as qualified as Dolley Madison would have been though.

Bill, If you like Hillary this much, why did you cheat on her. Your action inside the WH is so insane. Also, Hillary just let it go because she did not want to relinquish his ambisions. What can you expect from Hillary and Clinton….Barak is the one who needs to be tehre to clean teh WH….

To Jay of Omaha:
You apparently have a brain as small as a black pea to come up with a statement like that. You are a moron to label an honorable man without the notion that perhaps you are also implying that any individual who lives in this great nation with a middle name Hussein could be a radical muslim. Wait… let me see, maybe you live close to the wilderness that world history or foreign news are not available for your own learning curb purposes.

By the way I'm not from Middle East, I'm from Asia.

Hillary is not electable. I, as a Democrat, will not vote for her in the general election should she win the nomination. I will not be guilted into voting for her by fellow Democrats. She is the wrong person at the wrong time for this country. Her divisiveness will only ensure that the partisan hell we have all been living in for the past 20 years continues. I'm ready to go beyond that. Hillary says she is the one who can work across party lines, and yet she says she is the one that can adequately attack the Republicans. I don't want revenge on the Republicans. I just want to live in a country that I can be proud of again.

Obama/Edwards or Edwards/Obama '08

Lou,

I would like to know what accomplishments and experience will make you comfortable with a person running for President of the United States.

I would hope, if a person has the integrity, intelligence, ability to select the right people to advise and conviction to do what is right for this country, the person will be qualified to be President of United States.

It is unfortunate that the last few Presidents have forgotten about the people and what is in the best interest of this country. As a result, we are in war with no real solutions that will benefit both Iraq and U.S., our economy is on a slippery slope except for the most weatlhiest people, this country is becoming more and more dependent on foreign countries for oil, products and key services which make us the most vulnerable super power nation in the world, so political correct that Christianity is becoming a taboo religion while other religions are embraced and that our English language is becoming a foreign language.

If it sounds like I am frustrated, disappointed or down right angry, I am because I watching leaders with experience sell out this country for political correctness, special interest, and what seems to be popular for people who do not have this country's best interest at heart.

Maybe it is time to take risk with an inexperience person who has the intelligence, integrity, ability to employe the right people, and conviction to do what is right for this country.

About a year ago, some Dem hack (Rahm Emmanuel I think) said that the list of D contenders in an "embarassment of riches."

It's just an embarassment.

an unusually good liar

So because Bill Clinton thought that he was too young to run for president, Obama should think the same way. What utter rubbish. I love you Bill Clinton and your wife also, but you quys have got to come up with good and valid reasons why Obama cannot and should not be president. And don't tell me experience, because the only experience Hillary Clinton has, is being your wife. And that is no record to boast about, many wives have cheating husbands. Do not forget, she only won that senate seat because it is overwhemingly Democratic. Let her fight for a seat and win and then she can talk. I love Obama and I will vote for him. Not because he's black, or black and white, but because I truly believe that he is the BEST candidate.

Obama doesn't have more elected experience that Hillary on a national scale. Quit bringing up the Illinois Senate, that DOES NOT count.
Now everyone is quick to say that Obama would be just as inexperienced as Bill Clinton was, but that is simply not true. Clinton was governor for 8 years before he ran.
Let's get away from the number of years that people have been elected and lets get back to what Bill is essentially saying, Obama, in comparison with all the other candidates, has virtually accomplished nothing in the Senate. He essentially hasn't done anything.

To Jay Omaha, NE

I did not know that was a Muslim that shot up your Mall out there in NE. Seems there are bigger threats then playing word games with someones name.

FEAR Politics will not work this time. Stick to the issues and vote Obama

Barack must have known that he would be vulnerable to this kind of attack but there is a wider issue. If he decided to put his head down and serve his time he may not have had a chance to run for up to 26 years. By running, and with such a high profile, he is sending a message to America and the world that a black man could be president.

The least "risky" candidate running today is also the candidate with the best track record of upholding the Constitution - Rep. Ron Paul, MD.

With a congressional record dating back to 1976, we know exactly what we're getting. What he's saying today, he's said for thirty years. The millions he is raising from individual contributors come with no strings attached.

Oh…it looks like "slick willy" is up to is old tricks again. LISTEN UP PEOPLE! If we have to listen bill now, can we imagine what it is going to be like if his wife is elected. No-i think Obama or Edwards would be the safest choice for democrats, plus they have cross appeal, which HRC does not. She will lose the general election, if she is party's nominee.

I truly feel Mr. Obama is a risk. He has blended in political savvy and personal charm, to go from the streets of Harlem in Chicago to the US senate as a Jr. Senator…These are his words-what else??? I admire that he has been able to accomplish all of the above, however these are not qualifications or reasons why we the American people are to trust him with the future of our country. I have said all along, a vote for Mr. Obama AT THIS TIME would be a Big risky vote.

He is a big risk. His middle name is Hussein. That is about as Muslim as it gets. Wrong Person to lead this country.

I find president Clinton's attitude puzzling as his wife has no more actual national or International policy experience than Senator Obama. Standing next to the President does not constitute experience and while the Clintons may currently be claiming that Hilary was instrumental in Bill's administration, they were claim the exact opposite at the time. they made it quite clear at the time that hilary was acting only in the capacity of First Lady and did not have a hand in policy at all.

Bill Clinton is 100% correct. Obama will never be elected president. Hillary is electable, we've all seen in in the polls. Obama never explains his content. Politicians in Washington are scared of Hillary. Its time for Hillary, a woman. Obama must wait, get more experience, and learn from the wise.

This country has always value experience but when it come to election, let's just forget about it. Let's just get the hopeful like BUSH!

It's more than fair for Bill Clinton to comment or speak out. Mrs.Obama does speak out many times and it's fair as well. If you think that Bill should not speak out, Obama has to stop hiding behide his wife's back as well.

Bill Clinton has stupted to a new LOW, in my mind he does not deserve to have the words "former president" linked with his name at all, ever again.

For him to think that what he is saying is good for this election baffles me. He is predjudice, plain and simple, and he is afraid his wife won't win now when they believed they had it in the bag, you know that entitlement thing someone wrote about early in this blog.

Hillary loosing this election scares the hee-bee-gee-bees out of him. Bill doesn't do well with loss, especially a political loss.

If anything, this will backfire on the Clinton campaign.

I can't believe American companies pay this guy $150K to speak at their functions. Bill Clinton is the most well-known liar in the United States, and a wealthy one at that. All the more reason to keep him out of the white house.

The biggest RISK for this nation is to let the CLINTONs back into the white house. But I know the American people are smarter than Bill and Hillary think they are, they will NOT vote Clinton in because she is truly an outsider. She is the last person able to bring a group together. She is polarizing and her personality lacks compassion and truthfulness.

What Slick Willy is Saying , Is that he doesn't smell like him and HILLARY,

Which is Dishonest!

You want to see something Obama has gotten done? Just look at this: http://www.usaspending.gov.

That site is the fruits of the Federal Funding Accountability and Transparency Act 2006 that Obama and Senator Coburn (R-OK) are responsible for. It provides easily searchable information about a wide variety of federal spending, and the bill was a strong bipartisan effort.

He has done more than just talk about improving government transparency.

First of all if you guys are smart then Bush will not have a second term…

I think Hillary is a right choice to pick

When Bush leave the white house, it will be a BIG mess, if you don't have enough experience in politics to handle it, it will be get worse. At this moment America can't take any risk,

Believe it or not the Economies in US is in recession, people in America worry job, home, heat, safety etc…

Obama is a great guy but only 1 term in Politic he doesn't have enough experience to handle the mess of the current white house had.

Right now America need some one have enough experience able to start work on day one in that white house. Hillary wasn't that bad at all atleast the worse case we have is like 8 years ago when Bill was president at least people not worry about lost their job, home etc…The economies was booming and no war etc…

Be honest you never able to find a 100% president, we need to find the best one in the group to lead the country right now and bring back the America that people always respect and being proud of.

All the candidates very good to talk but come to do it is not a easy job we need to be relistic with that.

Change is always good in many way but not this 4 years in the white house, this 4 years we need some one who had enough experience to fix the problems and clean up the mess, Remember we talking about a job of president not a CEO or CFO or a teller.

Overall if you want the country not going into recession then vote for Democrat if you want war then vote for republician very simple

Bill is 100% right. Obama talks about Bill Clinton's failure than Bush era, what a joke?

Obama is very opportunist and power hunger man. He wants to be president any how and it not going to happen.

The very worst aspect of a win by Hillary is that the level of dialogue presented in this forum will dominate the public discourse without any regard for substantive discussion. I cannot change anyone's opinion of Hillary since I do not think anyone has changed their opinion on the Clintons for many years, facts to the contrary notwithstanding.

However, I think it is appropriate to ask the opposition to get its act together. Depending on the conservative venue, Hillary was either the most powerful First Lady in history and in on every major decision and therefore culpable for all the mistakes of the Clinton years OR she is a no-experience novice with nothing to offer. She cannot be both.

A third alternative is to see her as a brilliant, commited public servant with more experience than anyone in the race whom we would all do well to support. I choose this option and rest easy knowing there is not a Democrat running for the office who could deliberately or accidentally make as many mistakes as this President has done out of ignorance compounded by greed for wealth and power.

People who hate Hillary are basically a cottage industry madse up of people who almost never point to anything specific that Hillary has done that so enrages them. Her record does not matter to them and they are being less than ingenuous to pretend their complaints are anything more substantive than the conservative fear of a strong, female in any position of authority—unless they are single and preferably sycophantic in their devotion to their president–HINT: Condi.

I wish Hillary and the other Democrats well.

Thanks, Joel, above. I agree take this thing down as it's run its course. No more news on a Sunday?

And here come the negative attacks…Hillary and Barack are very strong candidates and I was not decided picking one of them. But if folks like Bill come out and start making talk like he did with charlie rose, it doesnt help me making up my mind, it infact enables me to beleive in new politics that Obama promises to bring.

I smell desperation… not just from Bill but from all those who are scared of an Obama presidency.. wait till January…

OBAMA '08!!!

I totally agree with the fact that OBAMA is not tough enough and even experienced to become the president of the united states. See how stressed he already looks and even hilary cannot handle being the president,this position is not a ceremonial position, as a president you are held accountable for any decision you make. OBAMA from his debate has not been explicit I will consider him an artful dodger, he dodges every question and bores you to death with his answer. I kind of observe that he might have mild dementia. This is for his own good he shouldn't take it personal that we are saying all these about him, I am yet to see a balck man that will be president has to be charismatic and very outspoken right now this is what America needs, we don't want someone bowing and sucking ass like OBAMA,if TD jakes was to be president I will run with TD jakes but not OBAMA or CLINton. This is not the time for experiment, this is the time to stabilize the american economy in every aspect inorder to keep competing as the super power of the world, I do not want no stupid Asian country that cannot speak english or does not even care to learn and is so communist to be the world leader, hell no, this is the time to be tough, shrewd, call it anything. This is the time to be AMERICAN.
Issues like Immigration, social welfare has to be addressed thoroughly and we need a president who is passionate about these issues or else we are going no where.

In twenty to hundred years down the road what will the face of America be, the chinese face or the European face, think about it and be on guard, no time for sentiment, this is the time for assertiveness and one american standard, no double standards and unnecessary distribution of wealth.

Vote for the man that will stand for the right issues and is a DOER and not a SAYER.
I love george bush even though they call him dumb but America learn to support your president because GOD put them there and the voice of the people is the voice of GOD

IN GOD WE TRUST.

Hillary needs to explore the many uses of duct tape.

I hope that all you people in the US listen to Mr Clinton!!
I live in Sweden, and I as 50% of the Swedish people hope that Hillary makes it all the way to the White House!!

I think all of you that are allowed to vote, should take a minute and think about that your vote matters to not only the US but ALL THE WORLD!!

I think the US is a great countr. I hope that the people of America will elect a president that has the experience to bring a sense of calm to the rest of the world as well as the US.

Bush hasn't been able to do it, Obama could do it but not yet.. I hope you elect Hillary, she is the one to do it now! The world needs her and as far as I can tell.. You all need her!

Its pretty sad when a person that is only in the senate for a year can make better decisions and have more republics like him then any other candidate. The republicans hate hilary and like barack. I want someone who is going to get things done and you can't do that with the same kind of politics hilary plays. I wonder what she is going to apologize for this week.

I just want to ask Bill where he was when his wife voted for the war? As a
experience ex- president why he didn't
advice his wife not to vote for war because it would be a bad thing?

QUESTION: "Hey Bill, why do many of your former foreign policy advisors back Obama over your wife?"

**ANSWER: Probably b/c they've been out of a job for so long that they've run out of unemployment, and Hillary wants fresh new faces.

OBAMA VOTE RECORD: 1)"Let's not forget, Obama was the only one that got it right on Iraq. Not Hillary, not Bill, not Edwards." 2)"Barack Obama has the right kind of experience at this time of our History. He has also proven time after time that he has better judgment than Hillary -Remember Iraq War and Iran resolution." 3)"O'BAMA VOTED BOTH TIMES NOT FOR THE U.S. TO GO INVADE INITIALLY, OR REMAIN UP UNTIL THE PRESENT TIME."

**FACTS: In addition to Hillary, Senators Biden, Dodd, & Edwards all voted Yea

***OBAMA WAS NOT EVEN IN THE SENATE AT THE TIME OF THE IRAQ WAR VOTE 10/11/02

http://www.senate.gov/legislative/LIS/roll_call_lists/roll_call_vote_cfm.cfm?congress=107&session=2&vote=00237

Ahead of the vote, D-Senate Majority Leader Tom Daschle announced he would support Bush on Iraq, saying it is important for the country "to speak with one voice at this critical moment."
http://archives.cnn.com/2002/ALLPOLITICS/10/11/iraq.us/

***FACT: OBAMA WAS THE ONLY ONE OF TWO SENATORS WHO MISSED THE IRAN VOTE!! (b/c he was too busy stumping to return to Washington)

Not Voting - 2
McCain (R-AZ)
Obama (D-IL)
(Edwards is no longer in the Senate)

http://www.senate.gov/legislative/LIS/roll_call_lists/roll_call_vote_cfm.cfm?congress=110&session=1&vote=00349

1/2 TRUTH: "John Kennedy was a first term Senator, as well, when he ran for president"

**REAL UNVARNISHED TRUTH: PLZ do not attempt to compare Senator Obama to John F. Kennedy b/c there is none!! JFK SERVED SIX YEARS IN THE US HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES BEFORE SERVING 4YRS IN THE SENATE, IN ADDITION TO SERVING AS A NAVAL OFFICER IN WWII. AND came from a very prominent & powerful political family in Boston. Plus HIS FATHER WAS AMBASSADOR TO ENGLAND.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_F._Kennedy

NOT TRUE: "The 'experience' of being First Lady of Arkansas and First Lady of the United States in no way prepares one to be president of the United States. That is like saying any spouse in the country can step in and fill the shoes of their spouse."

**TRUTH: There are many instances where widowed wives have been appointed to step in and finish serving the remainder of their deceased spouse's terms in Congress (you should at least be able to google that one for yourselves!!)

NASTY SEXIST IDIOT COMMENTS: (of which there have been far too many to simply keep ignoring) "I thought Bi
