Sorry Bill, but a Black female I took your comment to be an insult, and after super Tuesday I will register as an Indie. The Democrats have taken minorities for granted to long. We are no longer our parent's children where we will vote for Democrats no matter what. We are more informed and involved in the political process. Fairy tales do come true and it could happen to you because we live in the greates Country in the World. We can live happily ever after, If you believe. I will never allow anyone to tell my grandchildren anything different.

I am from a famliy of eleven children, all went to college, and now are productive citizens, tax payers, and active in our congregations and community. The same goes for our children and my cousins and their children. This was our parents dreams and it did come true.

So long Democratic Party.

lst let me say ok we all know the buzz word by now! But, change for what?
What has Obama done in his lengthy 2 years of political experience?
I watched the last debate twice and frankly thought he looked "weak" and
"small," constantly looking downward and letting John Edwards "speak"
for him in rebuttal. Is this what we could expect from him when faced with
the big global issues and the forces that want to destroy us? I don't know
how many of us there are (democrats against Obama and Edwards) but
give me the experienced, well-articulated Clinton and Richardson any day!!
Yes, EXPERIENCE does matter in the world the next president will inherit.
I totally agree with Michele from LA Obama needs to do America a favor
and wait until he has some hefty experience behind me before he jumps
out and makes senseless comments like "let's go invade Pakistan."
Immature, Inexperienced, Weak in international affairs–all good
reasons to say N O to O.

People like me, who are Bill Clinton fan did not like when he criticised Barak Obama. We like Obama, the same reason we liked Clinton.. a massive change. He should have unbderstood better. Obama is not losing much when Clinton criticises him. In fact, it makes me more determined to support him.

So what! Bill does not have to get defensive about his comments, language, remarks on Charlie Rose. There is no parsing required. Obama needs to be brought down from the pedestal. People should not be afraid to attack Obama.

We can not be labeled "racist" for relevant attacks in this election cycle.

Like Obama and Oprah are BARGAINERS and Bill and Hillary Clinton are CHALLENGERS. Thus Obama brought by his white mother and maternal relations is whiter than Clintons in the abstract!

Obama has not struggled like any Black has or has he experienced segregation like any Black in the US has. Thus Obama does not have a single "Black" in his body.

Through their politics, positions and staff hiring the CLINTONS are "blacker" than Obama with all his ex-Clinton aides!

Obama may have the press honeymoon for a while but he can not get the nomination without greater scrutiny. And scrutiny we need. Operations Research on Obama is not a racist action but part of legitimate politics and campaigning.

If you complain that Obama dosen't have experience, you are the ones that need to wake up. You insult Obama voting record, yet Hillary's contradicts what she is campaigning on. Congress' approval rating is 11%, even less than Bush. How is experience in the Senate the only viable experience when it comes to voting for a president? A president should be able to help the country come together again. The congress is torn on partisan lines, and Obama is the best option to get this nation back on its feet.

I don't like the Clintons at all. I even said to people that I would drop everything and move to Canada if Hillary was elected–two families cannot rule our nation for so long, it's just too much.

I support Barack Obama in this race, not because he is black, but he makes a lot of sense. He reminds me of JFK. Every "blunder" he makes at the debates, isn't. My dad asks why they call it a blunder if it makes sense. I guess "sense" is a bad thing in our government nowadays. Anyways, if he doesn't get it, then I'm voting ABC.

Anyone
But
Clinton

Oh come on guys. I vote for seeing Bill and Hillary again in the White House. It would be good for entertainment for the next four years. You guys forgot how much fun we had when Bill was in the White House? Just think about that for a moment. I love it. Just like the Brits, they have the royal family. We have the Clintons. Go America!

What this should help some folks see is that Obama is the one you'd want on the wall in a time of national crisis or uncertainty. The one who would surround himself with exceptional talents and make reasoned decisions under trying circumstances. This campaign has worked well to demonstrate his tranquility and focus while working at the vortex of a brutal and sometimes chaotic campaign. Jack Kennedy was all of 46 when the Soviets began assembling missiles in Cuba. His intuitive sense of the world and of himself, gained in part from his years abroad as a young man, made this country immeasurably safer during those very challenging times. Obama's character, too, was forged in adversity–he had to find his own bearings at an early age and learn how to navigate difficult waters in strange places, oftentimes without the privilege of a parent's guiding hand. Intangibles, yes. But they add up to a man who knows his capabilities and limitations well, who is comfortable sifting through discordant views and opinions, and who is sufficiently at ease with himself to make firm decisions that might be unpopular in some sectors but ultimately in the best interests of the nation. That's exactly the guy you want on the wall.

I'd ask any constituent who has put their trust in Obama if his tenure as either an Illinois State Senator or now a U.S. Senator has proven "a roll of the dice"–whether his success as a legislator, his vision, or even his longevity as an elected has simply been a matter of happenstance and good luck or perhaps a function of his character, courage, and leadership. And then I'd ask a New York voter if they felt Senator Clinton's vote to authorize George Bush to go to war with a Iraq was a carefully reasoned decision or a "roll of the dice." To this New Yorker, it was indeed a roll of the dice. That's why Obama–and not Clinton and not Edwards–is the guy I want on that wall.

At least I heard a few good points as I read through all of these attacks. JP in NYC you should google: 911 mysteries Demolition Recut listen closely to the words that are said then tell me you don't think Rudy knew the attacks were going to happen. Better yet you should come to Coral Springs and let me show you where all the Mohammed Atta and Waleed al Shehri sitings were. In case you did not know they were Terrorists on Flight 11, then I'll ask you if you do not think the house that was bought a few years before 9/11/01, that Bush ignored my warning. I contacted Senator Clinton and she sent the FBI. I was told it would take a few years to take care of!
Bill Wattenburg are you queer and jelous you would not get a chance or did you dress up as a woman that is how you know what he did?
W. Artis—George W. is a Republican, he did not have the experience, now you should keep walking backwards until you see where your perception went wrong.
Finally I want to point something out. Those who thought that when O'bama said he was looking to get advice from Hillary—only shows he is not ready to be President. Besides here is a good figure of speech to think about "Why choose the milk when you can get the cow!" In other words why choose O'bama when he needs Hillary's advice on Foreign Policy, why not just hire Hillary and skip the middle person?

It is beyond me why any democrat would support Hillary. She voted for both the War in Iraq and the Patriot Act, two things that democrates are supposedly unified in their opposition towards. In addition, if she does become the democratic nominee, prepare yourselves for the most acrimonious and divisive election in U.S. history.

Liar, liar, pants on fire…

As a Canadian that has followed the political scene in the US for many years I find it amazing that Americans cannot see through the Clinton's facade.

They have been the most mean sprited, unethical and immoral couple to emerge on the political horizon in at least 100 years.

Why can't the American people see through their phoneyness. Bill Clinton made the White House the laughing stock of the world, while Hillary Clinton demonstrated that she would trade her dignity and self worth for power.

Is the Clinton News Network still trying to get mileage out of this story? Look at all of the stories on the ticker, most of them are about Bill or Hillary. What a joke!
Bill was, is, and will always be a pathological lier for political expediency. Case closed, Mr. Attorney.

you all obama's followers will be surprised on january 3 08.HRC will pull this thing off. She is going all the way. We need this women to bring back prosperity in this country. I am impressed with Obama move but I am not goint to vote somebody that I know in advance cannot win . The right wind is pushing for him because they are scared of HRC. Go wash Foxnews then you will understand. Carl Rove Bush's top adviser is telling Obama how to beat HRC. Obama and Edwards started the dirty campagn.But, Obama and Edward are going after each othe now. You know why,Game is over, who will try to be in second position.I thing Obama will come in third place in Iowa.DEJA VU.

What else do you expect from o'le Bill boy? Here is a disbarred lawyer/disgraced former president who has lied under oath with no scruples. What makes you think that he will not lie when given the chance to get away with it?

Seriously.. the Clintons wants America to foot the bill because Bill cheated on her.

Folks, let’s all cheat on our partners and promise them the Presidency as a consolation price when they threaten to leave us, and then make the American people pay for our lust by voting our partners in office.

When we realize that the American people is not buying in, let’s train them to cry to get the American people to vote for them out of pity…

Hey Bill… close but no cigar.

As an Obama supporter, I fully understand that Obama has the least political experience in the bunch. I also appreciate Hillary's recent Senate experience in NY, and what she's done for the people of NY.

With that said, I think Obama ran for president now because he recognizes that this is the RIGHT time for sweeping change. We can do things incrementally–and possibly not enough (by electing a "status quo" lifelong politician) or we can make sweeping changes in our perspective as Americans–and changes in how the world sees us. Obama knows that his message and abilities are most poignant in today's atmosphere. It's not arrogance–it's a realistic recognition of the environment and of what messages the people need to hear. That recognition in and of itself demonstrates his ability to lead.

So much of being president is about appearances, representing the USA to the world, and bringing about change via legislation. I think Obama has all the experience he needs to accomplish that, and I'm backing him 100%. Do I dislike Hillary? Absolutely not. It's difficult being a woman on the public stage considering the double standards that are set. With that said, I still feel better about Obama, in both my heart and in my head.

The only person who can allow the false and deceitful strategy to continue the Clinton Monarchy is the American People.To compare Obama with the current President is an injustice to Obama who was an honor student as opposed to our current Presdent who did not achieve such a level. Being a President of the Harvard Law Review while a student shows unrivalled potential, further,having the vision and seeing the ill effects of war are visions….what else do the doubting Thomases need to envision a man with great promise for this land. If you are so short sighted to recognize talent ..where do you have the guts to attempt to evaluate it. Hide, your ignorance, and be quiet. Obama 08!!!!!!!

Expose Hilary for what she really is, an agent of a foreign government. and her participation at the inside job of sept 11 is well known.

DR. RON PAUL – check out the youtube videos, and see if Barack can hold a candle up to Ron Paul. Dr. Paul has more google hits than hilary and barack combined. Y'all should see the crowds getting behind Dr. Paul.

Rikyrah posted this in the comments section of Jack and Jill — she this statement posted on daily kos and it is brilliant:

"bell hooks, in one of her many brilliant writings, said "Beware the liberal walking beside you." I understood the meaning of the words clearly enough when I studied hooks a decade ago, but I was living in Canada then, and didn't understand the raw guts of the thing.

Now I do.

The academic term for what Hillary, Kerrey et al (including the media) are doing is reinscription – the reinscribing of racial stereotypes. That's what the "just saying what other people are going to say!" thing is called. Think of it as drumming racism into our heads so it stays there. Here's another one – "I'm just describing reality, the way things really are." Bob Kerrey's "I meant it in a good way" comment is classic. It's like "Jews are good with money." (Kerrey actually lied tonight, by the way, in saying that Obama attended a secular madrassa. There is no such thing, as he well knows. But he wanted the word madrassa in there.)

They're trying to make us fear Obama on a subconscious level, so we hesitate, so we "feel" that there is something that just doesn’t "feel" right….

And they're trying to make Democrats fear the big, bad xenophobic Republicans.

But Conservatives have no monopoly on xenophobia.

hooks warned against liberals for good reason. There is power in feeling oneself to be "one of the good guys." We like that. We like to think that those other guys are racist, but we're not. We’re the heroes! We like black people! We want black people to get ahead!

Alas, we don't want them to get ahead of us. Subconsciously, we "feel" that Obama should know his place. We'll march beside, him but heaven forbid he leads! We’re being nice to him, he should respect that and know his place. These are feelings, not thoughts.

It's all about how many degrees of difference there are between us and the "other" that we perceive. White males still rule this country, much more than we know. It's all about the mind. White females are one step removed from the white male subject, and Hillary has her own difficulties on that score. But black men are further away, because race is even more different than gender, and blackness creates even more fear in white men than femaleness.

It's all about power and fear. We fear what is different, and we can’t grant power to that which we fear. The Clintons, more ruthless than Karl Rove in his own wet dreams, are capitalizing on that fear."

How can Clinton say “If you listen to the people who are most strongly for [Obama], they say basically, ‘We have to throw away all these experienced people, because they have been through the wars of the nineties," when he heard in the last debate how Obama has all those old Clinton advisor's?

Um, Bill, that question was repeated everywhere as the funniest one of the debate. Don't try to tell us that Obama is not having any experience.

And for the record, what Obama supporters think is that Obama's community service, law professorship, lawyer, years in the IL senate, and Washington experience is way more important and relevant than Hillary's experience of being your wife. Many people don't consider 'first lady' to be much of a professional job. Its not like she was accountable to anyone.

Ex-President Clinton's remark on Obama is not fair and dishonest during the Charlie Rose interview. He only mentioned Obama's senate experience but deliberately omitted his eight years legistrator experience in Illinois. Obama was a successful legistator respected by both side of his colleagues before moving to Washington. His experience is not short and not lack of substance comparing to Clinton's when he first ran the presidential race in 1992.

Barack Obama is MORE qualified to be president than Bill Clinton, let alone Hillary Clinton.

First requirement for a president, know the difference between the truth and a lie. Do not be self-deluded about reality.

Both Clinton's fail that test miserably.

Obama passes with flying colors. Obama has as many endorsements from current and former government officials and politicians as Clinton does.

This is all PR spin to think Clinton is more qualified. She may have spent more years in Washington DC. But experienced is not the same as being qualified.

If you want change then be wise and vote for Hillary. If Obama gets the nomination I can bet all I have that he will not be elected as president. Obama is a nice politician but he is not ready. I hate to say this but the country is not ready for a black president. Bush is going to leave a lot of mess to be cleaned up. It is not time for Obama. Hillary is the best person. Personally I would like to see a Hillary/Obama ticket. That will be sure to defeat the Republicans. Think about it, lets use common sence here and not emotion.
I think most of the Hillary bashers are republicans. Democrats be careful.

To paraphrase Republican Supreme Court Judge Clarence Thomas, Clinton's tactics are nothing more than "a high-tech lynching for uppity blacks who in any way deign to think for themselves, to do for themselves, to have different ideas, and it is a message that unless you kowtow to an old order, this is what will happen to you. You will be lynched, destroyed, caricatured by [your critics] rather than hung from a tree.

Would someone who is supporting Hiliary Clinton please tell me what experience she has at running this country. Because someone lives or was in the White House for several years doesn't mean they are qualified. Let's see — she advised on foreign diplomacy, oh wait that was the Secretary of State. She advised on the economy, oh wait that was Allen Greenspan or Secretary of the Treasury. She advised on national issue, no wait that was the Secretary of the Interior. She advised on the military, no wait that was Secretary of Defense. She advised on legal issues, no wait that was the Attorney General. She advised on??????? Her campaign would have you believe because she lived in the White House during her husband's presidency that she has experience. Well, let's see, maintenance people have been in the White House longer than she has, does that give them experience enough to run the country? If she has so much experience, WHAT WAS BILL CLINTON DOING ALL THAT TIME????? Obviously, ignoring his advisors!!

It's amazing how little regard people hold for Bill's honesty (or lack thereof).

He lies all the time, I just wish one time he cold be completely honest about something.

For all the talent and success he had as president, he is the last person in the world I'd want to date my daughter.

My grandmother taught me it was impolite to say ugly things…someone should tell some of the people leaving their input.
Can we get back to the issues??
As an American, I have to consider what is best for America.
I see a deficit that my great grandchildren will still be paying on for years and years. I remember feeling much safer when Bill Clinton was in the White House. (and I did not care then, nor do I care now about his personal sex life–it is not my business)
I do not believe Obama has enough experience and not enough humility to serve us in the White House.
I am not sure my vote even counts anymore, but I am going to vote for Hillary because she is the best person running for the position.
I want to see America be as bright as it used to be, respected around the globe. I want to see us HONOR our fallen soldiers instead of pretending they never happened. I want to NOT hear everyone trashing everyone else, be it in politics or in everday life. I realize I am asking a lot, but I think we can do it if we all start thinking about what is best for America.

Why does Hillary get credit for all sorts of experience. Does first lady really count? I dont recall that being an elected position..

"The dice throw is not a vote for Obama but a vote for Hillary. It is almost a sure thing that if Hillary were elected Bill would get caught with a "bimbo" before the 100 days of her administration. Then what? A White House divorce or do we follow the French example and allow Bill to have as many bimbos as he wants. We end up with na fine mess that distracts from running the country."

Posted By Ken Hewitt, Surprise, AZ : December 18, 2007 3:25 pm

Hey Ken, you are still one of those right wingers and Clinton haters who think that its okey for the president to mess up the country like Bush did on all the fronts: ecomnomy, foreign relations, social issues, constitution, and personal arrogance. I don't care whether Bill brings dozen bimbos in the White House and divorse his wife as French president as long as Hillary cleans up all the mess and brings prosparity to this country.

Its been racial slur and innuendo all along — mostly behind the scenes and done by surrogates. Its all starting to snowball on the CLintons as it becomes painfully clear what they are up to. The Clintons are running a glaringly racist campaign. I don't for a minute buy that they are not racist bigots themselves just because they don't say it outright. When someone instigates racial and tensions using coded language or sneakily stirs the pot behind the scenes its even worse than an outspoken racist — at least with that you know how to confront it. This "inexperience" meme by Clinton supporters and proxies parroting her talking points is often accompanied by chides of "grow-up" "stop whining" "he's so immature" — what picture does that paint in your mind readers? The picture of a BOY — and just think about how that word has been used historically — its a put down, a degradation and emmaculization of african-american men. Obama is 46 yrs old and very accomplished. He is no BOY and its insulting to keep repeating this slur. This is no accident that they chose to use this line of attack in the manner in which they use it. They have been race-baiting, gay-baiting — pitting the black community against the gay community. The Washington Post had a story how it was the Clintons who provided the press the information about McClurkin, even though the Clintons actively seek the african-american religious vote who hold similar views to MuClurkin. They just wanted to distance Obama from the black community so they could swoop in. They didn't care if they took a dump on gays in the process. Wise thing Obama did not oblige the Clintons. Further, it was the Clintons were the ones who first planted the false madrassa story and they continue to push it to this day. This is religion baiting — a slur on muslims and a fear-mongering tactic directed at jews and christians. Its obvious they do not care about the well-being of this country at all — they just want power. What kind of leadership is this? I have voted democrat since I turned 18 in 1975. This is the first time in my adult life that I have ever seen a modern democratic campaign pull these racist stunts. I will be ashamed of the democratic party forever if the we fall for this crap and give this horrible woman the nomination. Where are our democratic leaders when we need them to denounce these tactics? I want to hear from the other candidates just exactly what they think about what's going on. I will not vote for Hillary Clinton ever, or ANY democrat who endorses her candidacy. And I am quite sure I am not alone in this sentiment.

I am a 38 year old African-American woman who is very angry at the Clinton campaign for using race based tactics to hurt Obama. The Clintons are a bunch of phonies. They have used African Americans for years to solidify their power. But no more! I hope African Americans wake up to see the clintons for what they are and the Democratic establishment for what they are as well. They can be just as racists as the Republicans. Go Obama!

Bill Clinton might have BUILT the bridge to the 21st century, but now that America has crossed that bridge and temporarily lost its way, it is BARACK OBAMA, with his fresh thinking, freed of the current political constraints, with his willingness to explore roads yet untraveled, who is best equipped to get us back on the right path in the world after Dubya's disastrous presidency. As a lifelong student of American presidents and one who has spent most of his working life in politics, I have been following Bill Clinton since the late 70's, long before he came to the attention of most Americans. The REAL reason he did not run in 1988 was that it was too soon after the 1987 Gary Hart – Donna Rice scandal. In the wake of that debacle, it is a documented fact that Betsy Wright, the seldom publicized "keeper of the Clinton bimbo eruptions" and GOVERNOR Clinton's chief of staff, took him aside and presented him with a list of the hundreds (yes, hundreds, every bit as many as JFK, if not more) of women Clinton had slept with — and just plain told him that to run in 1988 would be too risky politically, that he needed to let the dust settle a bit after Hart-Rice. All this stuff about his not feeling qualified to run in 1988 is pure bumcom. But it is not his extramarital sex life that bothers me –and by the way, he's still very much a player, even post-bypass surgery, most recently with a young woman in England– but rather his pathological lying. And I say this as a strong supporter of the Clinton presidency and one who will remain so. But Hillary is too bound by the past. This is not intended as a slur against her — in fact, I hear she is a very nice person, tho it is not coming across in her campaign — but 2008 is what they call a watershed election, and she is not the right person to lead our country in these extraordinarily turbulent times. Barack Obama is a different sort of candidate, unlike any other in our history, and I'm nor referring to race here. Let's please give him a chance! Bill Wattenberg, Tallahassee, FL

all of obama supporter can cry your heart out. truth is Hillary is still front GOP front runner according to recent polls which is 45% and Obama 27%.

Obama is not going to make the cut.

____________________________________

Lilly, if you want to vote for Hillary in the primaries you better make sure you're registered as a Democrat. That's the one that starts with a 'D'.

Oh yes you did, Bubba. And you best believe we're not going to forget it come voting time.

Hillary's campaign has almost turned you into the male version of her royal nastiness. Or were you already Mr. Nasty and we just didn't know it?

Everyone associated with Hillary's campaign is showing a dishonest side we didn't know they had: Bill Shaheen and Bob Kerrey just to name a couple.

Bill and Hillary have resorted to pushing racial stereotypes and disparaging an entire religion just to win the White House.

Bill, your association with Hillary's campaign has shown us the brand of politics you and Hillary espouse. We don't like it. We don't like it one bit.

When you were in the White House we defended you when the Republicans went after you (now I see it was for good reason. My vision at the time was blurred by your B.S.).

We stood by you and Hillary. When nobody else wanted to be bothered with you and Hillary, it was the folks in Harlem who opened their arms and welcomed a disgraced president and first lady. And look at how you now act. You call all black men who've ever used drugs drug dealers. You disparage the "Muslim" religion implying that all Muslims are terrorists.

I never would have guessed a former Democratic president and a Democratic Senator would be the ones pushing racism and discrimination.

You should be ashamed of yourselves.

For all the people out there blogging, let's be perfectly clear, being a POLITICIAN, is nothing like being a doctor. Anyone can be a politician, from the garbage guy to the CEO of ExxonMobil. Let's not quibble about political experience. If having political experience is the must have criteria for Democratic voters, then Richardson, Biden, and Dodd would be the front-runners.

Bill doesn't have the decency and character to admit that he is criticizing Obama. Now to add fuel to the Hillary Clinton fire, Bill Clinton's comments about Hillary bringing in him and George H. Bush Sr. into her presidential administration to be Goodwill ambassadors has been trumped by George H. Bush Sr. as a 'NO GO!'. How stupid and embarrassing? Thanks for the lies Bill. I knew we could count on you and Hillary to not disappoint us.

OBAMA in 08!

Well Bill, I gotta wonder just how much more dirt your wife has on you to get you to make a fool of yourself, (agian).

Posted By Joann, Cranston , RI : December 18, 2007 12:49 pm

I TOTALLY AGREE!!!!
CLINTON 2008

Wait a minute, Mr. President.

Your interview with Charlie Rose aired on Friday.

The Des Moines Register published their endorsement Sunday.

You said today that your comment Friday was based on a newspaper article that in reality wasn't published until 2 days later.

Typical Clinton. Hit….run away…then say that's not what you meant. Only his wifie is far worse than he. At least his fake smile looks more real than hers.

Looks like his words backfired. People took a chance on him, why can't they do the same for Obama.

With all these so called "experience" leaders that we've had, why is the world so messed up now.

Typically, newly elected presidents have an "adjustment" period. It's not easy being president. That adjustment period is usually about 1-year for good presidents and a bit longer for "okay" presidents. Bill Clinton was not really a good president until his second year in office, when he had his administration infrastructure in place and rolling. In todays day and age, we cannot afford to hire a president and give them a 1-year grace period; not with the war in Iraq, global warming, mortgage crisis, health care issues, etc. There is ONLY one candidate on either side of the aisle that won't need that grace period, who understands how to make things role on day one. This is no knock against Obama or McCain or Biden or any other candidate. It's just reality. This is the tangible experience that Hillary has that no one else has. This experience trumps Bidens wonderful national/international experience. This experience coupled with Hillary's national/international experience sets her a step above everyone else.

The dice throw is not a vote for Obama but a vote for Hillary. It is almost a sure thing that if Hillary were elected Bill would get caught with a "bimbo" before the 100 days of her administration. Then what? A White House divorce or do we follow the French example and allow Bill to have as many bimbos as he wants. We end up with na fine mess that distracts from running the country.

If you believe anything Bill or Hillary Clinton tell you then you are obviously a person that likes to be lied to and taken advantage of.

This story is infuriating. Bill Clinton didn't say anything badly about any of the candidates. He's not backtracking at all. He said the same thing that he said when asked before. This story is a perfect example of sensationalist media — making something out of nothing.

Its understandable for Obama supporters to get ticked off by Clinton's comments. Though Obama is very smooth and likeable person, the fact of the matter is he is inexperienced. Let the people in Iowa or NH decide how much weightage they give for experience. If they don't and elect Obama, Bill will be the first one to campaign for him in general election. But to endorse Obama or Edwards at this juncture from Bill is totally absurd! Get real folks!

Oh whatever. Former President Clinton knows that the real reason he opted to stay out of the 1988 Presidential race is because of the rumors that he was having affairs all over town in Little Rock. So he made the decision to wait at least four years to give them a chance to settle down before he took the plunge. He is being disingenuous at best to suggest that Obama is in any way like him during that phase of his life.

For those who did not watch him on the Charlie Rose show, he could not stop giving Obama back-hand compliments, condescension was dripping from his voice. His appearance was a desperate effort to stop Obama's rise in the polls. One moment he was calling him a political star the next he was implying Obama was an up start with to much ambition. His convoluted logic , was as obvious as his bias. Even Charlie Rose had to call him out on his contradictions, first it was you need vision to be president, no it's experiences, no it's experience in government, his most desperate moment came when he said "voters are rolling the dice if they vote for Obama", to throw that out their in the public with nothing to back it up, to scare voters, For a former president to rely on scare tactics, to talk negatively of other democrats, instead of giving valid reasons to vote for his wife are the actions of a desperate man with no moral compass.

Bill need to understand that he is doing bad to hillary.well let me not forget.OBAMA 08!

ANYONE BUT HILLARY '08

DOES CNN ALLOW ANYONE OTHER THAN REPUBICANS AND OPRAH SUPPORTERS TO POST HERE???? DISGUSTING COVERAGE

Great job Mr. Paul! I'm surprised to see any comments about anyone other than oprahbama on CNN political tickler; it appears they are very unfair when it comes to Hillary Clinton. I think the woman is getting allot of unfair and biased attacks from ALL the media outlets. I can't help but feel its because she is a strong woman and an excellent Presidential candidate. She was impressive for 8 years as the Country's first Lady and senator since. I would hope that CNN would treat her accomplishments fairly in the press. I'm extremely concerned that obamas jumping sides on important issues and missing important votes in the senate, lack of foreign policy experience, wanting to hike the retirement age, not in favor of health care for all children and does not support alternative lifestyles, all is completely being ignored by the media. ALL candidates should receive the same amount of press as oprahsboy has. I would highly recommend that CNN take a look at those who review posts before permitting them. It appears CNN is an oprahbama groupie. That’s a shame! Many viewers stopped watching FOX news during the last election because their unfair and biased reporting. I like CNN and hope they can begin to treat Senator Clinton fairly. She is the best chance we have to start from day one fixing the bush/chaney mess. Please keep in mind the voters do research. Once the oprah dog & pony show is over we can get back to the real election and obama should be ignored at this point. All he has offered besides oprah is clichés…
BTW-

Great job Mr. Paul! I'm surprised to see any comments about anyone other than oprahbama on CNN political tickler; it appears they are very unfair when it comes to Hillary Clinton. I think the woman is getting allot of unfair and biased attacks from ALL the media outlets. I can't help but feel its because she is a strong woman and an excellent Presidential candidate. She was impressive for 8 years as the Country's first Lady and senator since. I would hope that CNN would treat her accomplishments fairly in the press. I'm extremely concerned that obamas jumping sides on important issues and missing important votes in the senate, lack of foreign policy experience, wanting to hike the retirement age, not in favor of health care for all children and does not support alternative lifestyles, all is completely being ignored by the media.

Please Bill, please just go away

Why does president Clinton need to apologize?

Obama IS the candidate with the least national experience who is running in either party. There are hyndreds of state legislators and most are not fit to be president.

Obama decided to run for office when he was in the US senate only one full year. If that is not the epitomy of arrogance, I don't know what is!!!!!!!!!!!

Bill is as big a bag of wind as he has ever been. I wouldn't ascribe any credibility to anything he says either way. But I like the idea of a new President who hasn't been corrupted by the party machines getting an opportunity to give it a try. Could he possibly do worse than GW?

TV SPOT AD: "Barack Obama embodies what is happening now. He has vision and looks to tomorrow."

"I'm smart enough to know that a President doesn't run the country alone. He or She has advisors and cabinet members as well as Congress to help. The President sets direction and is a motivator."

QUESTION FOR FORMER PRESIDENT CLINTON "Hey Bill, why do many of your former foreign policy advisors back Obama over your wife?"

ANSWER: "Probably because they've been out of a job for so long that they've run out of unemployment, and Hillary wants fresh faces."

“If you listen to the people who are most strongly for [Obama], they say basically, ‘We have to throw away all these experienced people, because they have been through the wars of the nineties,’”

WOW!

Now he's putting words in MY mouth? well, at least it's WORDS all things considered.

Sad.

Why can't this man admit the truth even when it is patently obvious? He and Bob Kerry and Shaheen and Penn– all of them just happened to slip in vicious snipes against Obama — but meant no criticism?!

Truly sad.

Bill just points out the fact.

He has been consistent all along that he likes all dem candidates, but hillary is the best in his opinion.

Besides, do you trust an inexperienced medical intern to do your open heart surgery. If not, you should not trust a 2-yr junior senator fron Illinois.

On the other hand, the american voters are so dumb in picking presidential candidates, as they have voted for George Bush, twice.

I can't wait until close minded fools finely realize what we have in Hillary Clinton. She is above all of this blog nonsense and I am embarrassed by all of this peeonic unintellectual b.s. and that our Country has come to this a being "meaningful" conversation/enlightnment. Hillary has my vote..forever!

I have been a moderate, but am leaning towards the democratic candidates, everyone but Hillary that is. If Hillary wins the Democratic nomination, I have no problem taking a serious look at the Republican nomination a voting accordingly especially if it's Huckabee. Nevertheless I will go with the lesser of two evils and vote for whoever the Republican is over Hillary. Pretty simple choice for me, Hillary is the least trust worthy candidate in the race of both the parties.

There's those Clinton-colored glasses again, they make one see exactly the opposite of what really happened. Kinda like Hillary saying today the exact opposite of what she said yesterday.

Posted By LILLY,NY,NY : December 18, 2007 1:37 pm
Oh, Lilly, if you truly had any political acumen at all, you would realize that at this stage of the race, national polls don't mean squat. Look again at the polls of the imminent Caucuses and Primaries, namely IA, NH, SC and get a picture of the real story.
As candidates campaign in the other states as their primaries draw closer, you will see the story repeating itself.

Obama is NOT qualified to be president YET and Clinton is right about it. What are his accomplishments in the Senate? He is a black man who went to Harvard and "speaks well" and has a "hopeful" message. If only that were good enough for a president. It isn't and the VAST majority of people in this country know it and will certainly remember it on election day. Obama with the nom means a republican president yet again.

Bill Clinton wouldn't know how to tell a straight story even if the truth sounded better

"Barack has the power to unite America?" Dream on! He will divide this country. He already is dividing it. Get real. If not Clinton – Biden. It's not difficult. Anyone but OBAMA

YAY HILLARY '08

Mr Barak Obama is the best hope for this country to my opinion. Although I am a Bill Clinton fan, I am tired of seeing him and her everyday in television. I want them to take a long vacation. He is an ex President and it is not his business to tell Mr Obama when to run for office.

You go Bill. Do what you need to do so people WAKE UP OUT OF THIS FAIRY TALE about a "Slick Stick out of ILLY." Also, read the entire transcript regarding Former Sen. Kerrey and BAMA and where he was going to school as he was having his "aspirations." He makes me puke!!!!

"Even when I was a governor, and young, and thought I was the best politician in the Democratic Party, I didn't run the first time I could have. I had lots of Democratic governors encouraging me to, 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."

Soo Bill…let me understand you. Are you saying that Obama shouldn't run because you didn't feel you were ready in 1998?

Oh, this family is priceless!!!

It's the Slick Willy and Slick Hilly show. They are attacking Obama and then hiding (cowering) behind the Des Moines Register. The DMR in no way said what the Clintons are saying, and they are banking on people not reading the paper.

The one good thing about all this is that when the republicans try pulling the same garbage on Obama, he can just accuse them of taking their lead from the Clintons.

I am ready for a LEADER, do you all know what that means? L-E-A-D-E-R Someone that has some experience, not someone that talks like he is still in grade school, 'I will talk to all the bullies, yada yada yada.

Hillary is the right person for the job, I am so tired of everyone talking about Obama. He is TOO INEXPERIENCED to run this time around, maybe next go, sure. I like some of his ideas and think that once he grows up a little bit, he would be great. But, I am NOT ready for another POTUS like the current Bush. Whoever those UNINFORMED voters were those 2 times around were, I have no idea and hope they decide to stay home this time cause they sure screwed up the past 2.

I agree with President Clinton, Obama is a big risk. He is totally lacking in experience and his voting record is dismal. Obama talks the talk, but I seriously doubt if he can walk the walk!

Oh, Hillary cried day before yesterday and today Bill says he has been positive all along and he didn't intend to criticize Obama. I am sure that the campaign is trying to steer both as soft and compassionate Clintons. The problem is that it's a little too late. We don't believe ya'll, Bill and Hillary. The script reading has not gotten any better. You are not able to speak from your hearts anymore. Perhaps Washington has killed your dreams. As one of your former supporters, I truly believe you both believe that Obama is the best candidate for Presdient of the United States.

Why the heck shouldnt the Clintons, or anyone else for that matter criticize Obama? He sure doesnt hold back.

Clinton is the biggest liar i have ever seen. He need to be placed on lie detector.

I have always admired Bill despite his scandalous conduct. But this is well over the line. First his lie that he opposed the Iraq War from the outset now his completely unwarranted attack on Obama. Are you and Hillary that scared of him, Bill?

As a female wishing to see another female elected to the White House, I CAN NOT support Hillary. Due to her fake personality, lack of honesty and polarizing character, she is unelectable and turns so many voters off. For a while, I was thinking of voting for her, but these last few weeks, her campaign has turned me off. My neighbors, who voted for Gore and Kerry felt the same way!! We NEED to break the glass ceiling, but not with an unfit, dishonest, cold, insincere person like Hillary.

"“I am trying to say that I agree with what the Des Moines Register said that Hillary has the best record of positive change making in other people’s lives, and I think it is important and I think that this is why they endorsed her,”"

English Teachers across the country cringe in horror of the Former Presidents linguistic skillset.

"Here's a quote," Obama said with a smile. "'The same old experience is irrelevant. You can have the right kind of experience or the wrong kind of experience. And mine is rooted in the real lives of real people, and it will bring real results if we have the courage to change." – "And that was Bill Clinton in 1992."

"best record- positive change in other people s lives ? ? Dear Lord someone shut this guy up. Best record in WHAT ? experiencs with WHAT ? other than the different circumstances was in slamming all his women digging up dirt on others to cover for what she was married to. Keep these off the nets. I can't believe we have another year to have to listen to these two. their stories never ends they make them up as they go they really believe if they repeat things enough someone will start believing them.how many times do people have to hear , she has NO experience in anything, doesn't have a record on any subject. the Des Moines Register well I'm sure we'll find out what that is all about later. promises, promises, $$$$$$ who knows?

If his lips are moving, he is lying…………

Next

I`m tied and sick, Bill can say what he want but he has to understand that we are not stupid all my family in Iowa, will vote for obama

Obama fans are such cry babies. Get over yourselves. Alway crying victim.

What's so hard about the truth for Bill?

Bill Clinton is sterotyping Obama, Obama is a young black man, and I am a 64 y/o black mother with two sons and I feel that anything he says about Obama is meant for all young black men in they want to run for an office; and for that reason I would never vote for hillary. She is a disgrace gor the black race. I cannot understand for the life of me why she think the president job is for her. Any woman but hillary. Black voters, please donot vote for hillary, she just want power and will do any thing to get your votes. I despise the clintons.
Obama 08!

It's gonna be Edwards/Obama. Clinton is campaigning her way out of the race.

A new general election poll was released from Iowa this morning, and it has both Clinton and Obama beating Republicans, but Obama is running about 15% better than Clinton, an outstanding showing! Link.

This guy is not getting people echo. I mean, Bill you need to get a life. You are such a liar and you need to get a life.
I am an African American voting for Obama. Not because he is black but I am tired of same old politics!

With all the stupidity that has been coming out of his mouth you must ask one or two questions:

Was the "Clinton campaign machine" a myth, or did it work only because the Internet was new and there was only ONE BIASED TYPE OF NEWS "reporting"?

Does it sem like he wants her to lose so he can FINALLY divorce her and leave this this totally loveless marriage?

It makes one wonder.

all of obama supporter can cry your heart out. truth is Hillary is still front GOP front runner according to recent polls which is 45% and Obama 27%.

Obama is not going to make the cut.

He's lying and that's what it's looking more and more like what the Clintons do best. It's unfortunate Hillary;s campaign has also caught the bug.

Nobody that became president for the first time had no experiences maybe gov,sen or rep Bush Sr,Bush JR realy didn't Mr Clinton or Mr Ragan. Where is the problem. you need good people around you to help run the country.

I can't vote for someone I have no respect for.
Sorry Hillary I will never vote for you.

I second that Bill seems to be lining up to get a handout from whomever wins the Dem nomination, whether it is Hillary or not. He already called Obama the greatest political mind of the younger generation.

Again, the experience isn't that vast. Obama has been in since 2004. Clinton in since 2001. Three years. Not that big of a deal. If experience were important in this election, McCain and Richardson would be leading.

Exposure is what they need to be emphasizing. Yes, Hillary was EXPOSED to the presidency through her role in the White House. And while Obama shouldn't cite his time abroad or his background as experience, it is definitely important EXPOSURE to timely topics.

In an age of catch-phrase and sound byte political rhetoric, they need to get their words right.

The good news is that blacks are finally realizing that it is not just republicans who are intolerant to people of color–their supposedly "first black president and first lady" don't like them either. When they asked the racist Bob Kerrey to go out to slammed Obama for his choiceless heritage–The poor blacks now know what it is to be a Democrat. Bottom line: The both parties don't like us!

I have lost all respect for Bill Clinton and I want him to know I would never vote for his wife, Hillary.
I am African American and I am angry about the race-baiting smear Bubba Clinton and his wife have done on Obama.
I hope other African Americans will let Bubba and his ambitious wife know that African Americans will not forget how they tried to use stereotypes to do harm to Obama.
I actually supported Bubba's wife at first but I would vote for David Duke before I vote for Bubba's wife and that's saying a lot.

The Clintons are known for this type of political dirty trick. I was behind Clinton during his rocky period in his presidency. Not now…even if Barack does not win the nomination, I will sit at home and not vote for his wife…who should have left his cheating a–!!!

I like all the Democratic candidates and I will support whoever is nominated but my primary vote will be for Clinton.

THINK ABOUT WHO CAN WIN THE GENERAL ELECTION!!!! This is no time for fantasy. The GOP will hang Obama out to dry. Not to mention, there are too many pockets of extreme racism in the country…..especially throughout the south. I would like to believe this is not so but I have lived in the south and experienced it first-hand.

The first posting states that "I will NEVER back a power-hungry Hawk". Get real. Every remaining candidate is a power hungry.

I would rather have a fighter than a wuss in office.

Go Hillary

Wow when did the Clinton Campaign steal Obama's stumping message??? Now all of a sudden the Clintons are for change? When the only experience Hillary has is from a decade where America doesnt need to go back to?

More blacks were in jail under the Clinton Administration then any other in American history. So i gues our first black president had his people in mind by throwing them in jail?

Then just what was he doing? Flip-flop, change the story, what's going on in this campaign? Is anybody in charge?

How is pointing out Hillary's strength and experience an attack on Obama?

Honestly, it seems that merely uttering this guys name will draw howls protest and claims of attack. It seems that he's the only one allowed to "draw distinctions" between himself and the other candidates. The minute someone does the same it's not called "drawing distinctions", it's labeled "attacks".

Wow! Does Hillary know that Bill is out there on her campaign trail? This is the latest flip-flop of Bill Clinton. Bill was for the Iraq War and now say he wasn't for the Iraq War. Bill was for criticizing Obama and now he has the audacity to say he wasn't criticizing Obama. As an Obama supporter, I think that Obama record is open for attack. Obama's candor about and inexperience in Washington politics is what I find so refreshing.

Sorry Bill when you ran in 1991, you ran on a similiar platform to Obama about change in Washington politics. If experience was the only criteria to becoming president, they Bill Clinton would have lost the 1992 election to incumbent George H. Bush.

Let's get real here! If extensive political experience is what Democratic voters most respect, then Obama would be ahead of Edwards and Hillary, but not Richardson, Biden or Dodd.

I'm smart enough to know that a President doesn't run the country alone. He or She has advisors and cabinet members as well as Congress to help. The President sets direction and is a motivator.

Obama supporters are as naive as he is if they feel experience is irrelevant and that mentality is so totally irresponsible. We have just had the most inexperienced president ever, who was even a governor, being advised on every issue and look at the total mess. We cannot afford a 2 year senator with only rosy speeches to offer. Experience is vital; Clinton should coin the phrase “back to the future” for her campaign as I personally am desperate for 8 years of peace and prosperity!! Obama is not ready and I’m sure he knows it if he can get past his over inflated ego.

Don't Apologize Mr. President, SEnator Obama does not have the experience and it is a roll of the dice to elect him. Its time that tried professional s come forward and speak thier mind.

Bubba says:
"I think she has the best record of making change in other people's lives in the most different circumstances and I think that's very important for the next president.”

Translation:

"She really has made a change in peoples lives in the most different circumstances, just ask Vince Foster." "Oh, wait a minute, you can't." "Ah, next subject."

what experence does Hillary have? Being first lady and what does that have to do with being persident? Hillary is as scripted as Bush was when he ran and we know who was pulling his strings. Who is pulling her strings? Hillary will keep this country divided liked the republicans…even a dem. like me would never vote for her under any circumstance. She is the biggest liar running ..even bigger than rudy.

I think Bill is silly insulting Obama. If Hillery is going to be a Presidnet, then she does not need her husband to fight her battles. Our President need to fight their own battles!!

Those who think Hillary is the most experienced are simply buying into spin. As has been said, Biden probably has the most experience in government, and he would make a very good vice president in my opinion. Those of you voting on experience, please vote for Biden in the primaries if you won't vote for Obama. Hillary is already trying to distort the campaign by making issues and controversies where there are none. In fact, Hillary previously stated that we should talk to our enemies. But now that Barack said the same thing, she's putting words in his mouth (the idea that he had made a commitment) and critizing him for them ("irresponsible and frankly naive"). Barack got involved more than I would have liked ("Bush-Cheney lite"), but he does have to draw dinstinctions between himself and Hillary.

And I challenge anyone who thinks the President of Canada mistake is such a huge, telling error: do you really think you wouldn't make such an error? He was trying to give a coherent, intelligent answer (thought up on the spot) in less than two minutes–of course he's going to make a mistake here or there. Yes, he knows Canada is parliamentary. So do I, and so do many/most Americans. But I think most Americans could easily make the same slip.

Barack has the power to unite America. He's got the ideas to build up our nation as it needs to be built up. He's planning to vastly improve our nation's educational system, something I haven't heard anything about from Hillary, even though it's possibly the most important issue for America's long-term success. He's got a strong plan to fight terror. He's got a very good health care plan. He wants to get us mostly out of Iraq, but not cut and run. He's capable of reaching across the aisle and stepping above partisan politics to find solutions to the underlying problems (His ideas enacted in government include "Healthcare for Hybrids," ethics reform, capital punishment/interrogation reform in Illinois, and many more great ideas).

So if you've got reasons like these to vote for your candidate, good. But if you don't, maybe you should be researching for yourself and not just letting the media feed you talking points.

I simply don't listen to Bill Clinton, He is an embarrassement!

Soon now we will not have to be exposed to the egregious stuidity of the plangent oaf.

You know, Billy Clinton just cannot stop lying, can he?

If you do vote for Hillary, I hope you enjoy waiting in DMV style lines to see a doctor. Enjoy!

"I wasn't criticizing Obama."?

And I didn't have sexual realtions with that woman!

I'm sick of everyone trying to put words in Hillary's mouth. She never started the "mud slinging" remember? The first debate was full of it from Obama and Edwards. Need we remind everyone of the very first debate when Obama and (I think) Edwards were ganging up on Hillary – she just stood there and took it like a lady. Defending herself is not "criticizing anyone. She does not play that way. Tit for Tat!!

There's no question that Clinton has more experience than Obama – the question I keep asking myself is which kind of experience really counts in this time? I am baffled by the writer who thinks Washington, Lincoln, and FDR were not presidents in "complicated times." None of them had even close to the former first lady's experience. Then again, how is being a first lady experience we should count? I want a woman president soon – but not through the kitchen door. I also want a non-caucasian multi-cultured president who can actually TALK to other leaders without immediately assuming the USA deserves rights of primacy, like the old ugly British empire. We know in our own lives that different people bring different forms of experience to their success and their worth to the community – why do we expect, in these terrible times that we need only one kind? The key for me is the moral center of the candidate, and I think Clinton has none – she ran for senator of a state she had never lived in so that she could run for president because her husband was, forgive me Clinton lovers, a real mess of an executive. Are we only ever going to look back in order to look forwards? Do executives in strong companies succeed because they've "been there?" No, I think we need radical change, Republican or Democratic – I will vote for the one who seems most capable of change – NOT the one who seems most "experienced."

BILL CLINTON INTERPERTATION:
Come on y'all – hadn't you figured out what IS is?

I was braggin' on old O-bama. That thing I said about him being a risk – a gamble – I LIKE risks and gambling. See I was complimenting him!

Magic Johnson was a huge deal in the early 90s. All the so called big names supporting Clinton are names from yesterday, just like Clinton herself. They don't have sayings like you can't go home again and you cannot relive yesterday for a reason.
But, Oprah is today. now. and the celebrities who back Obama is like the candidate. today, now, and huge.
there is a difference. Hillary is all about days long gone by and trying to recapture 15 years ago. Truth is, her time has long past and she is much older today than in 92. Her supporters are people who were big deals yesterday.
Barack Obama embodies what is happening now. He has vision and looks to tomorrow. Hillary has no vision because it was all yesterday. Obama is what is important now.
it is no longer 1992.
It is now 2007

This is the problem when a past President starts making endorsements for a single candidate–it creates party division. Another sound reason why Hillary makes a less than perfect choice. Just imagine the confusion if she gets in the White House–and the blurred support responsibilities emerge, like the level of Secret Service coverage, use of government resources for his philanthropic agenda. What a mess. Vote John Edwards–he'll set a sound agenda for change–and do it without the confusion and high "maintenance" costs of the Clintons.

I don't like how "Editorial Board" (if you can call them that after the Hillary! endorsement fiasca) has worded that headline. However, I agree that it "will" be an Obama/Edwards ticket.

Obama is the best person to lead real change that America needs… here's an interesting article on why HIllary represents the status quo. http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2007/12/17/AR2007121701599.html?hpid=opinionsbox1

How many times do you have to bring the Des Moines register endorsement, as far as I am concerned it is an endorsement by 4 women editors in Iowa, 4 voters in Iowa, who will not stand against the thousands of Iowans who have endorsed Obama and are ready to vote for him. It is like saying, oh, i am gald i was endorsed by 4 professionals in Iowa, great, but not enough to win a caucus right!

Typical for the typical Clinton campaign. Have a staffer of Bill slam someone, while Hillary stays above the fray and tries to keep her hands clean. Then either fire the staffer (she has plenty so firing a few doesn't hurt) or have Bill clarify what he meant. Either way the story stays in the news a little longer.

Please, let's have no more Clintons in the White House. Our country needs someone new, someone we can trust.

Anybody but Hillary in 2008

Can we say back pedal?
You didn't say that, huh?

Just like you "never had relations with that woman"

Wallace

Can we say back pedal?

Wallace

Why doesn't Bill just come out and say it: He is campaigning for Obama.

Everything that is coming out of his mouth is killing Hillary's campaign. He is basically saying "Obama reminds me of a younger me, but if you want the same ol', same ol', then vote for my wife Hillary."

He is such a liar.

In 1988, he said he wasn't running because his daughter was too young for a campaign. It has also been well-documented that he was afraid of being derailed by his infedelity like Gary Hart was.

By the way, Bobby Kennedy was elected to the Senate in 1964, and ran a winning but tragically ended campaign just four years later.

Like so many other Dems (and Republicans for that matter), I am not fully decided on which candidate I will back – except that I will NEVER back a power-hungry Hawk, and that is exactly what Hillary Clinton is.
