		<description>Hillary needs to understand that this is not a junior-high personality contest; it is for high stakes; we are in  trouble as a nation, domestically and foreign.  &quot;Please Hillary, take the American people to task.&quot; We are not interested in personality, we want substance and experience and you are the one to give us that. And I might add, Obama needs to understand this as well.  He will do us much harm if he continues to believe that because he is a superb orator, that he is America&#039;s answer. Remember, Adolph Hitler also had the gift of oratory, and he gave the German people what they wanted in his speeches and propaganda.  All the &quot;older&quot; people know the outcome; the young should, through their history books, understand this as well.</description>

Not because Clinton is not good, she just not good enough for this job, she voted yes for most of the Bush/Cheney things and she should just quit the compaign and support Obama for the American.</description>

		<description>Hillary won the debate hands down.  She was focused, zeroed in on issues, showed tremendous knowledge of the challanges facing America, displayed indepth understanding of foreign relations, and more.  She out-classed Obama and Edwards, and showed stength in defending herself against their labeling of her as &quot;status-quo&quot;.  She provided some rather sweet humor when she said her feelings were hurt because people didn&#039;t think she was likeable.  Unlike the arrogant Obama who, without looking up from his note-taking, said to her, &quot;You&#039;re likeable enough.&quot;  (This, after she graciously and light-heartedly said she thought Obama was very likeable.)  Hillary held her own when Obama and Edwards ganged up in their attacks on her.  I&#039;m so glad she is fighting back .  Keep it up, Hillary.  A lot of voters really got a good look at you and saw that your strength, experience, dedication, and hard-work trump &quot;hope&quot; any day.</description>

		<description>Obviously media coverage strongly favors Obama. Even the article we’re responding to characterizes Hillary as the aggressor and Obama as the capable young man just defending his position.  “Clinton criticized Barack Obama . . . seeking to paint him as a flip-flopper.”  Yep, that makes Hillary the villain.

Hillary pointed out instances to Obama where he had promised one thing and did another.   But our Hero, “hit back saying, ‘I think the people of America are looking for are folks who are going to be straight about the issues and are going to be interested in solving problems and bringing people together.’” 

In other words Obama “hit back” with nothing. He did not address Hillary’s charges at all, and yet he is painted by CNN as the hero and winner of that little verbal altercation.  

You’ve got to wonder why the national news media so strongly favors Obama in this election.   The media could conceivably engineer the nomination for its chosen candidate if all elements pool their resources. After all, perception is reality; and the media controls perception.  But why choose Obama as the Democratic candidate?

Will it make for better drama if Obama becomes the Democratic presidential candidate? Will it increase the audience for news programs? You bet it will, and it will also increase advertising revenue and profit.  And besides, a black guy might be more interesting to cover. It kind of breaks up the monotony of the same old routine every four years.  If the national news media has its way, Baraq Obama will be our Democratic presidential candidate.</description>

		<description>Hillary&#039;s experience for change means:

Her record:  Flip-flopping on the war, drivers licenses and her own name.
Bills record: Lying to the American people, his spouse and federal prosecuters, not to mention taking money from questionable sources.


So is this what we can expect from her on day 1?

Then I say no thank you.  We do not need another term of people who feel they are better than the American people and should not be questioned because they are doing what is best for us.  Isn&#039;t she just a clone of Bush?  Politics as usual, not change.

Obama can clearly win a general election, more so than Hillary dividing the country.  She showed her temper and attitude, and then falls back to be an innocent woman when convenient.

She complains words do not result in change.  What does then?  Guns and war?  Was it not words by Martin Luther King, John F Kennedy, Ronald Reagan and Franklin Roosevelt that motivated the country to be and do greater?

Did our founding fathers not put pen to paper and set forth documents of freedom and liberty for all the people?

It was by their power to inspire us to try for freedom, come out of depression, reach the moon and win the cold war that led to change.  Their words brought supporters as Obama and Edwards do.  They make citizens feel a part of the government and that we do not have to act out of fear but out of hope.

Its time to stop choosing a president (Bush and Clinton) that tell us we can not achieve things, that we must be afraid of what could happen and to seek safety and a mediocre life.  What happened to the baby boomers that wanted to end a war in Vietnam, that wanted to change the world?

Are they so jaded and used to the status quo that its time for a new generation to come in and do what is needed?  Let us vote for what we wish we could be, and not out of what we fear could happen.</description>

		<description>So how many more layers of masks does Hillary have left?  She has shown so many different faces and talked out of more sides of her mouth than all the candidates combined?   Landing in New Hampshire, we saw the self-declared winner from Iowa acting like she beat her opponents - (Reminder Hillary, you place third); then we see the &quot;change candidate&quot; with 35 years of experience - (Another reminder Hillary, you witnessed a good share of that experience as Senator Dodd has pointed out and pillow talk and drinking tea doesn&#039;t count!  You also marched right along with George Bush until you started your campaign); now we&#039;re seeing what we expected: the shrill, slash-and-burn politics with which you and Bill destroyed the Democratic party (as John Edwards so eloquently reminded us!).  If the Clinton years were so great, how did George Bush end up in the White House?

Fact: John Edwards and Barack Obama both have more years in public service than you do and have accomplished more in that time than you have in all your years in the Washington political machine.

Fact: I&#039;m sorry if it hurts your feelings, but half the Democratic party doesn&#039;t  like you because you are not the real thing (a female Mitt Romney without the bad dye job and you can&#039;t give a straight answer to save your soul).

Fact:  We are still facing all the same issues we were when Bill ran for office in 1992!  Hello!

Fact: You have been tested and you have failed.  You caved in for the last 8 years and just recently started &quot;opposing&quot; the Bush administration when it became popular.

Fact:  Barack Obama voted for the revised version of the Patriot Act that Russ Feingold rewrote not the original one as you did.

Fact: You can&#039;t admit you were wrong about anything just like the current Commander in Chief.

So to sum it up, you are not ready to lead from day one but may be ready to hit the ground; it just won&#039;t be running.  This is the price you pay for trying to change the Democratic Parrty to Republican-lite.  We need someone to unite our party, not walk around trying to settle old grudges from the past and using the same stale, old tactics from the last century.</description>

		<description>I think it was despicable to see Obama and Edward tag -team to portray Hillary as Status quo. The last time I checked, Clinton is not Bush. The status quo which is Bush trembles when you call the C- word and I think Democrats shoul appreciate that. Don&#039;t count Clinton out!</description>

		<description>First I want to address what people are calling Hillary flip-flopping on the war. I thought from the beginning it was extremely intelligent of her not to apologize for voting for the Iraq war like Edwards because she knew that if she did, in the General Election he Republicans would accuse her of being a flip flopper. She has neve apologized for this or &quot;flip-flopped&quot; she has explained her reasons for voting for the war, stated she was mislead by Bush in those reasons, and says she does not believe we should have troops in Iraq now. That is not flip-flopping. 

Obama&#039;s flip flopping record: Against the Patriot act then voted for it. Against repealing DOMA, then changed his mind one month later after supposedly talking to gay friends who were hurt by this, against the Iraq war and repeatedly has used this as a campaign pusher, but yet voted for funding it, said he supported universal health care like Canada&#039;s system, yet does not propose anything close to this in his health care play. This is indeed flip-flopping. 

Not to mention he is indecisive - he conveniently voted &quot;present&#039; on a number of issues in the state congress. And most importantly and I don&#039;t know why no one is bringing this up - on the most recent Iran vote he missed the vote. This is an important vote! But also one that can put him under a lot of scrutiny, so what does he do - he misses it. THIS IS NOT A LEADER! He is an orator and nothing but.

On another note, I wanted to ask? Is there no one else that notices the underlying sexism in this debate. Hillary defends herself against the status quo comment and every one says she is being &quot;shrill&quot; &quot;defensive&quot; a &quot;schreeching shrew&quot; &quot;angry.&quot; Had a man, assertive - yes &quot;assertive&quot; is the correct word to use hear people, not &quot;schreeching shrew&quot; - &quot;wait a minute, I bring change, I have 35 years of experience bring change...&quot; that man would have been seen as being a strong, passionate, assertive candidate. Have it come from a woman and all of a sudden she defensive and it&#039;s the worse moment of her debate according to the media. I thought it was an excellent point and one that needed to be made. Obama does not have the experience needed to make the change that his rhetoric speaks of. He is rhetoric and that is it. 

Also, all the other sexist comments on this board like, &quot;she can&#039;t decide whether her name is Hillary Clinton or Hillary Rodham Clinton&quot; or how about &quot;Will someone please call Senator Clinton out on her 35 years of experience! Experience doing what? Watching her husband sleep with numerous women…if that&#039;s the case…then yea, she sure does have experience.&quot; These comments just illustrate that part of the reason she is doing poorly is the ingrained sexism in this country. 

Anyone who has bothered to educate themselves on the candidates would know that that she has been interested in politics since she was a teenager and involved actively in politics since she was an undergraduate. And as far as looking at the Obama website. Yeah, I&#039;ve been there...he doesn&#039;t have crap about his views on abortion, or gay rights...and I&#039;m supposed to vote for this &quot;democrat.&quot; 

I don&#039;t think so. He flap that jaw all he wants. I&#039;m voting for Clinton&#039;s record of change.</description>

		<description>Mrs. Clinton is a capable and quality leader. She is strong and able. Her husband was not trustworthy to her, but during his presidency my life was ten times better financially. She is also the only person on stage that actually cares that EVERY American get health care, just like EVERY Canadian or EVERY British. We are the only country that treats its citizens like crap if they can&#039;t afford something. Obama wants to force people to insure their children...well that&#039;s great what parent doesn&#039;t try to do that anyway? I don&#039;t have insurance but thanks to HILLARY my kids do have CHIP. But if bush or romney get their way they won&#039;t have that either. My husband and I both work, and I have a 4 year degree. We are not the uneducated underclass. We are just going through financial hard times. HILLARY is the only one that seems to have a grasp that millions of Americans are just like us. Besides that, parents need healthcare too, who is going to take care of our children if we are sick and dying? If a republican or Obama get in office, I am going to see if I can get my Canadian immigration application pushed through. Yes, I vote.</description>

		<description>I notice one thing consistent has been Obama&#039;s demeanor.  Hillary&#039;s personality has taken on &quot;Sybil.&quot;   I feel optimistic Obama would become a great President.  I don&#039;t know what to expect with Hillary.  But I know she can&#039;t be trusted.</description>

		<description>The media is so bias in favor of Senator Obama over Senator Clinton that it makes me sick.  I respect the fact Hillary has listened to what the American people have said and is now clearly against giving driver licences to illegal aliens however in the previous debate Senator Barack Obama openly admits that he supports giving driving licences to illegal aliens yet the bias media has and still is giving him a free pass on this issue.  The majority of the media has also giving a free pass to John Edwards because he claims to be for the poor and the middle-class yet  as an investor John Edwards has ties to lenders who have forclosed on hurricane Katrina victims.  If we want serious change in this country then we need to support Senator Hillary Clinton as President because she has the experience to bring us that real change and she her record proves that she is sincere about helping the middle class and the poor.  Senator Clinton also has the best chance to win the national election which is another reason why voters need to think long and hard at the big picture.  If Senator Obama or John Edwards were to get the nominaton that would handing the Whitehouse another Republican victory which would result in more of the same.   It&#039;s a shame the media has been bias against Hillary because she would be good for America and help us gain back the respect at home and around the world which is something we lost due to the failures of the Bush administration.</description>

		<description>I am really tired of Hillary&#039;s nagging.  It just shows me how immature she is and how revengeful she can be.  I don&#039;t want someone like that as my president.

I&#039;m also a bit offended by how she keeps using the gender game, basically making herself a victim because she&#039;s a woman and trying to use that for her benefit.  No one is criticizing her because she is a woman, it&#039;s of how ALWAYS talks about things that she has done for America, when I haven&#039;t seen anything she has done? And in my book 8 years as first lady doesnt count towards experience? 
Just look at her talk, I don&#039;t see any honesty or sincerity in her eyes.  All I see is a woman who is power hungry.  Besides she&#039;s the flip-flopper here, she copies everything other candidates do.

I will go for Obama, he has more capacity to make America a better place and fight for what the people need.  OBAMA 2008!!</description>

		<description>Obama is becoming known as being flippant and Clinton is certainly becoming known as a flopper.   That being the case, do we actually have, right here on our very own stage, an honest to goodness flip-flop?</description>

		<description>Hillary has no more experience running a country than any other candidate.  That 35 years of experience is 7 years in the Senate, (in which she spent most of her time campaigning for the Presidency) and the rest of it was as the wife of a President and Govenor.  Obama spent 8 years in the Illinois state legislature and 3 years in the Senate.  How does her experience outweigh his?  They worked to write laws.  

Ask yourself this.  If you watched the debate last night, who would you rather have negotiating with other countries?  Do you want  one that remains calm and is not threatening, and listens to you and then reponds calmly.  Or, one that points his/her finger at you while he/she is scolding you because you believe something different.  

Last night I saw a Presidential candidate and a spoil brat that wasn&#039;t getting its way.</description>

		<description>Yes, Hillary we need a doer not a talker.   We need YOU and when you go to the Oval Office on your first day as President you will have issues on your desk and you will know what to do and how to gather together the people who support your agenda.  You will not be a puppet like Obama will be with people telling him what to do because he has no experience.   I want a President who already knows what to do and how to make it happen.   I do not want a President who will be overwhelmed because of lack of experience.   I want a President who has a mind of her own and knows how to get it done.   Hillary Clinton is and will be that President.</description>

You will not be a puppet like Obama will be with people telling him what to do because he has no experience.   I want a President who already knows what to do and how to make it happen.   I do not want a President who will be overwhelmed because of lack of experience.   I want a President who has a mind of her own and knows how to get it done.   Hillary Clinton is and will be that President.</p>

		<description>&quot;Hillary showed that the thing Obama changes best is his own mind!&quot;

I can&#039;t believe you said that! Hillary changes her mind on position all the time. She went from just experience to experience brings change, He position of supporting the war in Iraq, and she stole &quot;Fired up and ready to go&quot; from Obama, I could believe it when I heard it. Hillary uses a political poll and is just bumbarded with your staffs ideas to the point she doesn&#039;t have a mind of her own. You can tell her staff is desperate to win because of last night when Hillary lost her cool and blabbed out anything to slow down Obama plus using the gender card, she and the staff are desperate now. It&#039;s sad to see. I think you should change that to -

&quot;Hillary showed that she is mostly mindless when it comes to running her own campaign, she or maybe just her staff don&#039;t know where Hillary stands on issues and would do and say anything to get elected, even ignoring issues and policies of other candidates to smear them by using the same ones as she did last night by telling half of the truth or making up a fabrication.&quot;

That&#039;s what you should have said. Hillary get a life, stop being desperate!</description>

		<description>I for one an sick of the media predictions when only one state has voted.  They jump all over the place and make fools out of themselves.  When was the last time that Iowa voted for a Democrat in the general election?  They have never elected a woman to a major office.  Look, I agree that we all want change but I for one want responsible change.  I would be happy with Clinton, Obama or Edwards.  It is just a question who is best suited to deal with a country in turmoil.  Let&#039;s not get into a popularity contest. George was totally unqualified to do the job and look where we are now.  I think Mrs. Clinton has the most hands on experience and has the no how to get us on the right track.</description>

		<description>I am from small community in Eastern Kansas and have following everything that I can regarding this election.  I take the United States very personal when dealing with issues and whether any one candiate can solves all the problems in one term.  Obama scares me in the fact that in my opinion that American people are gabbing at straws and want someone fresh with not realy ties to anyone.  Politics are politics and America &quot;does need&quot; someone that knows how things runs.  I don&#039;t hear what back up he will have.  To make changes you can not do it alone; to make changes you need other political figures around you.  How can he say that expperience does not matter.

The American people are asking for change and at this point are willing to scafice and take a chance no matter what!  
I still votes for you!!!</description>

		<description>Who flip-flops?? Everytime that Hillary checks a poll that shows an opinion different than hers, she immediately changes her position. Hillary is the &quot;flip-flop&quot; Queen. Okay, Hillary, time to drag out all the relatives and close friends to tell us what a kind, caring, considerate, wonderful, generous, loving, principled, etc., etc., person you really are. As I understand it, there was no real Mother Theresa, Mother Theresa was actually Hillary Clinton, who wanted to remain anonymous about her good deeds!</description>

		<description>35 years of political experience....my next door neighbor has been a practicing physician for the past 20 years....can I count that on my resume too??

For the dumb HRC supporters....while Bill Clinton was governor....Hillary was a partner in the Rose Law Firm (full time) - and also on the board of directors of Walmart....and yet....&quot;35 years of polical experience&quot; - can all the women in and out of Bill Clintons bedroom also count that as &quot;political experience&quot;

And btw....she didn&#039;t author the SCHIP bill....look it up....tired of being lied to...??

We need a moderate....Giuliani....if he&#039;s not offered up..(and I&#039;m a Republican) - Obama will get my vote....

Democrats also need to start to be alittle introspective....and stop with their hands out....supporting every entitlement program out there....John F Kennedy said &quot;ask not what your country can do for you, ask what you can do for your country&quot; - maybe you need to stop looking for handouts and people to blame</description>

		<description>This is about time that Mrs. Hillary Clinton takes a firm stand on the issues facing America. All she has been doing is sending mixed messages e.g. From Iraq war to issues affecting day today lives of comman American citizens. 

The campaign slogan should be &quot; AMERICA AND AMERICANS FIRST THEN THE REST OF THE WORLD&quot;. Iraq war has broght disgrace to this great nation. We have turned around from that make a firm policy decision to get out of Iraq and concentarte all resources where it is needed most and i. e. United States of America.

If you do not do this then may GOD HELP THIS US of A and YOU.</description>

		<description>Obama is energizing people who have been disenfranchised from government for many years.  He has given them reason to believe that their opinion matters, that they can take back their government, and make politicians represent the ordinary guy, and not special interest groups, and lobbyists.  He gives us reason to believe for a better future - and Hillary says it is false hope, not to dream so big, be patient, wait, and she is as good as it gets.  She says that she has done the work for 35 years - and you know what, I don&#039;t feel that she has accomplished for me what I would like to be done--if 35 years of hard work results in telling people to scale down their hope, expectations, and to trust the government to do what is best for them then I don&#039;t want any part of her.

Were the Wright Brothers crazy in believing in flight?  Were women being foolish to fight for the right to vote, rather than wait patiently and quietly along the side until someone gave them the right?  Were slaves wrong to escape through the underground railroad to an unknown place - they didn&#039;t know what to expect, they knew that it wasn&#039;t going to be easy, they knew that they would encounter difficulties - but going for it was much more acceptable than to accept the status quo.</description>

		<description>The media made Hillary the front runner before anybody voted in the primary. Now the media is making this nomination process “Change versus Experience”. We buy into this media game without asking ourselves what really do these candidates stand for, what have they accomplished, and where do they want to see us go. 

In my rational way of looking at things and perhaps in my reality world, this contest is about change and the agents of change. 

On the one hand, we have change, idealistic and theoretical, driven by empty words (false hope) and strong emotions but only temporary because it cannot stand the test of time. A change that will require four years on the job training to clean the mess of the current administration. A change that will take a second term in office before the agents can even begin implementing their ideas which has been lost in this discussion perhaps because they really don’t have one. 

On the other hand, we have change that can be put into effect right away. A change based on logical and rational thoughts and grounded on experience. A change that does not require on the job training. A change that can stand the test of time. A change you can feel, hear, see, smell, taste, and touch. 

President Bush was an outsider, an agent of change. He was elected 8 years ago with the help of the Supreme Court and re-elected 4 years ago. Exit polls showed that he was well liked, most people consider him to be their next door neighbor, he was the type they could hang out with, etc. With only the concept of change and no experience on foreign affairs amongst others, he surrounded himself with the best experienced advisers money can buy. What do we have today in return? A broken system: FBI/CIA abuses, Iraq war, Effects of Hurricane Katrina, Economic woes, Recession, etc. 

I know Obama and Edwards are not President Bush. I am sure they have different set of ideas and values. But I think it will be wrong to put the future of our country in the hands of someone without the first hand experience involved in the concept of change especially in today’s global dynamics of powers.</description>
		<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The media made Hillary the front runner before anybody voted in the primary. Now the media is making this nomination process “Change versus Experience”. We buy into this media game without asking ourselves what really do these candidates stand for, what have they accomplished, and where do they want to see us go. </p>
<p>In my rational way of looking at things and perhaps in my reality world, this contest is about change and the agents of change. </p>

		<description>why is Bill Clinton telling us what he thinks we should do about illegal immagrants? 

How is it that Bill Clinton can tell us where Senator Clinton stands on all these issues but she cannot tell us?

&quot;Who is running for President him or her?

Why can&#039;t Senator Clinton defend herself?

It appears that Bill Clinton knows better than Senator Clinton what she would do as President!

I haven&#039;t heard Senator Clinton speak on any of the things Bill Clinton is speaking of. Why is this?

If he thinks Hillary is all that he claims she is then why did he cheat on her?
GET THE PICTURE</description>

		<description>First, let us not base the winner of the nomination rest on the results of Iowa.  There are many people who live there that will tell you the process is outdated and needs to change. Let Obama and Hillary duke it out over who has the better character.  Look at Edwards, he is willing to do the work, make the changes that need to be done, and get the country back on track.</description>
