She is not Bill Clinton. She is very political and cannot bring change and lead this country as Barack Obama or any other candidate.
Sources have said that Bill Clinton doesn't want her to win or even believes in her as a president, he's just acting along as a husband. Sure he likes black people, but that doesn't mean she does too.

Listen to Oprah Winfrey, she has done nothing but great things for this country and it's people. She is very credible in America than anyone I can imagine. She wouldn't have come forward and endorsed Barack Obama if she didn't believe in what he can do for this country.

Oprah doesn't want her name tarnished, she believes in Obama and let's please vote for Obama or someone else, and do not allow hilary to tell you that she cares, she doesn't.

I am a white man, born and raised in the United States and a veteran. I live in New york and I have written letters to senators of New York State multiple times about different issues in the City and personally.

I have written to the office of Major Bloomberg, Hilary Clinton, (whom I liked very much), Charles Schumer, even local community leaders…the list is long. And I can proudly say that all of them responded to all my letters multiple times with recommendations, some even had their secretaries called me to make sure all was ok; NOT ONCE DID HILARY RESPONDED TO ONE OF MY LETTERS, NOT ONCE.

I am very disappointed in her as a citizen of the United States and a veteran, she's political and will be worst than George Bush.

She won women's vote in New Hamshire because it's obvious that she acted to cry and women took pity on her..and yes, sources have said that the news on yahoo yesterday that two guys screamed out at Hilary's Campagne "Wash our Clothes" HA! Those guys were told to do that.. they are friends of people who work for Hilary…all POLITICAL. See people!!! Worst of all, she doesn't give a rats ass about black people. She's just using them..don't be fooled.

Thank you for endorsing Obama. I hope people learn their lesson from last night. Everyone thought Obama already had it, and some people did not go out to vote. Even independents thought Obama already had it, and decided to vote for John.

When one of these large unions endorses any candidate this early in the process, I always wonder what that candidate has done, or promised to do, for them. You know there is conversation between between these candidates and their campaign staffs, and union leadership. This is just one of the many things our seemingly flummoxed national media might want to ask the candidates about.

FYI:

The Culinary Union has decided to Endorse Senator Barack Obama.

As an SEIU member in Minnesota, our state council has endorsed John Edwards. Union endorsements in any election are very important, however they are not always an accurate depiction of what the majority of the rank and file membership truly feel.

John Edwards has been more active in the lives of union members than any of the other candidates, participating in over 200 organizing rallies for unions nationwide. This has not been the case with the other democratic candidates (needless to say, the republicans have done even less for the unions and working people of this nation, and therefore donot get mentioned in the union endorsement process.

I wish that more labor endorsements were given to those candidates that truly show their desire to help the working class of this nation and less on the "electability" of the candidate.

I applaud the IAFF for their endorsement of Chris Dodd. He was the candidate who met the majority of the criteria that theior members held concern with, not at all based on "electability". Was this a waste of an endorsement? Not if the concerns of the members are now picked up by another candidate.

I will continue to support John Edwards in his bid to win the Presidency, as he is the candidate left in this race whom has shown the most genuine concern and commitment to the issues of the working men and women of this nation!

People before Profits! Workers, RISE UP & ORGANIZE!! John Edwards 2008!!!

It's time for the new school of politics. Not the same people doing the same things. Carville, Clinton (Bill & Hillary)- this isn't the 90's anymore and we don't want that drama again.

This will help the Obama campaign. Hopefully, he will address the issues of the working poor…The SEIU's endorsement could make up the 2.5% difference from New Hampshire moving forward to South Carolina given it's 17,500 members. It will be interesting who the Culinary Union will support.

Endorsing someone based on popularity amongst the polls makes it so invaluable. Endorsement should be based on who amongst the candidates can really deliver not just CHANGE but also RESULTS., Obama so far has brought an inspiring and exciting campaign but really has not been specific with his platform. We need to know as AMERICANS, how do we solve our problems and crisis we are currently facing not just saying He is the Change in politics……HE IS NOT! ANOTHER CANDIDATE PROMISING AND RAISING PEOPLE`S HOPE. This COUNTRY is a GREAT IF NOT THE GREATEST IN THE WORLD. WE DO NOT NEED TO CHANGE OUR GREATNESS WE JUST NEED TO BE LEAD BACK TO WHERE WE WERE AND THAT IS BEING ON THE TOP! We have been astray by this current administration and those days are counting down. WE WILL GET OUR COUNTRY BACK, WE ARE NOT GOING TO CHANGE WHO WE ARE AS AMERICANS BUT WE CAN ALWAYS IMPROVE TO AN EVEN GREATER GOOD.
SO I ASK THE AMERICAN PEOPLE TO PLEASE EXAMINE THE CANDIDATES SERIOUSLY AND CAREFULLY> DO NOT BE HYPNOTIZED BY THE MEDIA.
HILARY SPEAKS SPECIFICS ON WHAT SHE HAS DONE AND SPECIFICS ON WHATS SHE`S GOING TO DO. AND THAT IS WHAT THE AMERICAN PEOPLE NEED TO HEAR AND KNOW FROM THIS CANDIDATES.

WATCH THE DEBATES WHERE THESE CONTENDERS ANSWERS QUESTIONS THAT ARE ON THE SPOT AND LISTEN CAREFULLY ON EACH AND EVERY CANDIDATES ANSWER. GREAT SPEECHES IS TOTALLY INSPIRING BUT WE SHOULD TAKE OUT THE SCRIPT, TAKE THE MEDIA`S RAVE, AND LET THESE CANDIDATES GIVE US WORDS FROM THEIR HEART AND MIND.
NEVADA AND SOUTH CAROLINA ARE NOT GULLIBLE! THEY ARE AS SMART AS NEW HAMPSHIRE IS!

These unions can be powerful. Unionization is a way for not so educated people to get highpaying jobs. It's no wonder that kids are so lazy in school.

They then use their power to get politicians to pander to them and increase the minimum wage so that they can pimp their ride and get cool flat screen tvs.

Just because a candidate has union endorsement does not mean their members will vote for them. Like everyone, union members make their own decisions. …And guess what we found out last night….people aren't doing what the media tells us we're going to do!

People didn't come out to vote? Nonsense. Most americans that can remember the Clinton era would do anything to have it back. Nasdaq 5000! Dow hitting new highs every week,not once in seven years. The strong dollar that made americans wealthy tourists abroad,not peasants. Cheap gas,cheap housing,high interest rates on investments were the norm then. Look at the garbage that this republican party brought. Someone would have to be retarded to want this crappy republican mess instead of a Clinton golden era again. Republicans are the ruination of america and thankfully the vast majority of americans know it.

From what I hear quite a few of their members support Clinton so that could end up a draw.

When he was a senator of Illinois, Obama did not votes on important issues. http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/22335739/

God Bless Senator Obama and his family. Thanks to "Our Heavenly Father" for Senator Obama - a pleasant voice of "CHANGE".

My family will support him to the very end.

Go SENATOR OBAMA!

IF they want to back a proven leader,yjey eill back and endorse Hillary.

Yeah, and Al Gore tried to distance himself from Bill and you see where that got him. Obama fans might be too young to remember that Bill Clinton took a poor economy and got us 23 million new jobs and balanced the budget for the first time in generations. Look what we have now. I will take Hillary along with Bill anytime. This revisionist history that Bill Clinton wasn't good for America is ridiculous. The only reason why there was drama is because Bill was so good at working with the congress to get things done, The Republicans on Fox news had to attack him or else no one would ever vote for a republican again. Wake up people. Most of us over 40 remember how bad the economy was and what Bill Clinton did in the 90's. You young OIbama fans need to realize this isn't the Red Sox vs. Yankees. This is real life issues. People are losing their homes and their jobs. I want someone who has the experience to help us through this coming recession. Not some guy who voted for Cheney's energy bill like Obama did. You can't pick someone who makes you want to have a beer with him. We see where that got us with Bush.

Hillary Cliton will be yours and mine next President. She can and will (heal this Country ) If given the chance.

Bill Clinton says we cant't

YES WE CAN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

YES WE CAN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

YES WE CAN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

YES WE CAN DEFEAT BILL CLINTON IN THIS ELECTION AND HEAL AND MOVE THIS COUNTY FORWARD

Obam rely on lobbyist , union like other people. don't say difference. don't say change. change is an empty words.

just another example of powerful people making decisions for the rest of the population…..

just hope the culinary union member can see him for what he is: a shiny but empty pot!!! (pun intended!)

Keep those endorsements coming in for Obama. We have to remember people, nothing is a sure thing unless we all vote. We definitely cannot assume he will win and leave it up to others to cast their vote. Please, Please, make sure you vote. It is time to bring this country forward and we MUST

Obama has no difference with other people. don't say change. change is an empty word.

Go Obama! Hillary may have "won" the popular vote by a few thousand out of 200,000… but the fact of the matter is that NH was a tie. 2.5% is nothing, and Obama and Hillary both received the -same- number of NH delegates.

I'm glad he has these endorsements coming out! Huge news! NH is over. Clinton fans better think about the -future-! Next up: Nevada and South Carolina!

Fairytale? Dreaming? False Hopes? You think we can't make CHANGE?! YES WE CAN!

I will relish the day that this inspired man, this beacon of hope, this intelligent and unwaveringly optimistic human being finally demonstrates once and for all that hope, heart and healing CAN trump the cynicism of the Clinton Political Machine. The only way we can show Washington that we are through with the dynastic politics of fear and greed is to get out and vote in record numbers for Obama. Obama 08. You may say I'm a dreamer- but I'm not the only one!

IT IS TIME FOR A CHANGE ~ NO MORE DRAMA ~ OBAMA FOR PRESIDENT!

I found it interesting that Senator Clinton says she has finally found her voice and for the first time on the campaign trail she read from a script that was probably penned by someone else. So it begs the question: Whose voice is she using now? Will the real person or a re-tooled candidate show up at every stop and chisel out a message that she believes the electorate wants to hear, instead of saying what she believes? I can respect John McCain, Barak Obama and even Mike Huckabee because at every stop in every state the real person shines through whether we agree or disagree with them.

I told you we needed BIDEN! If we end up with HRC vs. McCain - IT WILL BE McCain.

HRC has very little real experience.

Thank you! Obama represents positive change and FINALLY bringing a voice to the post-boomer generations of Americans who are fed up with the never-ending Vietnam and Reagan era-"lets go backwards in time" politics that have brought cultural wars instead of the positive change to our country. recognition of Cultural Diversity as a tremedous asset in facing the challenges of our day!

NEW YORK -(Dow Jones)- Recession isn't just a market buzz anymore. It is rearing its ugly head in the U.S. after a six-year hiatus, and will prompt the Federal Reserve to cut rates to 2.50%, according to Goldman Sachs & Co. (GS), the world's most profitable security firm.

Goldman's U.S. economic team said in a research note Wednesday that they switched to an "outright recession call" as the housing slump and credit market turmoil spills over into the broader economy, with consumer spending taking a hit. The economists made the call following reports over the past week that showed a spike in the jobless rate, and a tumble in home sales and manufacturing activity.

American need Hillary to recover economy. vote for Hillary

1/9/2008

Obama still has 1 more delegate than Hillary Clinton. Something CNN or Fox News is not reporting by voice.

McCain is a senile.
Giuliani is a crook.
Romney is a phony.
Huckabee is a simple-minded preacher.
Edwards is a slow southerner.
Hillary is a crying, deceitful dinosaur.
Thank GOD or OBAMA.
The rest is wasting their time.

The truth is coming out. Starting NH, Americans are beginning to understand that in politics, endogenous is more important than exogenous - that reality and fact are more important than rhetoric and body language or charisma without substance. Americans are beginning to understand that Hillary stands for what the President of the USA should be and not Obama with his empty promises. Obama's leadership leaves a lot more questions to be answered but foremost, how can he be an agent of change without experience? How can he change what he does not know? How can he change what he does not have? Experience in economy, healthcare and security are all in Hillary's bag and Hillary can change them for the good of all America. Obama has a bag of experience but it is empty. He has nothing to change.

My prayers and Best wishes to Hillary and I urge all Americans (black, white, oriental, hispanic) to support Clinton because they will never regret their votes. We did it in NH. NH understands that it is issues, not body language, which stands out in this campaign and Hillary is all about issues. Listen to her carefully instead of cheering at her and you will understand just like the people of NH did - the issues matter,

Wait…a union backed a Democrat….stop it

what do they call it when employees are paid with the same percentage increase regardless of work effort…oh…thats right…communism….unions are wrecking this country

I have in recent days watched the primaries unfold in a way that I think Pundits should stop their predictions and let voters decide who there candidates will be NH has spoken and the pundits still justify their predictions. some of you should apologize to the various candidates, today we waite for the various unions to endorse a candidate but the union members do not vote as a block when in the voting booths the individual members make their chioce of candidate therefore I will not be surpirsed when after the NV vote the results tell a different story like NH did to the pundits

It's cyclic… perhaps Bush helped drive this cycle a little farther… but its a cycle non the less. Yes the 90's went well, now were paying for it.

However the big picture is this, the 80's went well because we were building up our war machine for the cold war. That floundered, and we got to use our "tools" in the first gulf war, then we had to rebuild our war machine and so the 90's were nice again. Now things suck because we are fighting the war, once we get everyone home we can start rebuilding the war machine and get the economy on track. and prepare for another war in 2015 or so.

If you think this is BS look at the history of America… the world even, everything is done for war, this is the base of almost all economies.

obama loves our vets and thats huge for me, its a shame that 25% of all homeless folks sleeping under bridges are veterans, i feel like crying at that thought! Obama for real change and taking care of our own!!

Once again proving the democratic party is the party of minorities, labor, deadbeats, governmental employees and the squalid NEA.

The Clinton golden era? You must be joking. You don't see effects of anything Congress does for years after the fact. So anything positive that happened during the Clinton years was purely the work of the president before him. All the lying, cheating and scandals that popped up during this Bush presidency can mostly be linked to all the corruption going on during your golden Clinton years. People never seem to grasp that concept, that most things aren't immediate when you are talking about trillion dollar economies.

I have heard both Obama and Hillary speak. As impressive, confident and amazing Obama may sound, he doesn't give out concrete plans. Hillary on the other hand has some very solid ideas and always gives an outline of how she will go about making those changes.

I am not pro Obama or pro Hillary. I am pro demorcatic party. If we can get a democrat president next election, that wud be change to me. Having said that Obama's track record in 2 years in senate tell us a different story. A story that doen't cry out Hope or Change…….its more like "let's go with the flow"

Change for the sake of chenge IS NOT BETTER!!!! Grow up people! I think Obama is intelligent and sincere, BUT the world is a political maze that demands experience and more savvy then that good ole "Kennedy" feeling I keep hearing about concerning the well meaning BUT INCREDIBLY NAIVE Obama. He needs to prove himself more…and I don't need to think that this could be his only time just because he says so now. Yes, I'd have given my vote to Colin Powell (experience, leadership, introspection) if he had ever chosen to run, but he served his nation as best he could and when it didn't make sense any more he moved on to private life. Many express dismay at Clinton's savvy - as if her cleverness equates to untrustworthiness. And when she's harsh, she's all those other stereotypes that we foist on powerful women. I'm a white, middle class, male officer in the Air Force and I have seen enough of the world to know that foreign policy alone will be a daunting challenge for Obama. I didn't always agree with Bill Clinton's foreign policy or his handling of the military, but Hillary Clinton would do what we haven't done well enough in recent years: Ensure that our "ALLIES" are involved and consulted and that we have better situational awareness before we embark on a poorly thought out path. I am afraid of "knee jerk" reactions because we do not have any examples of how Obama would handle a crisis. I can pray that if he gets elected he'll do the right thing - BUT he's only in his 40s… optimism and CHANGE for change's sake are not enough…If it isn't Hillary, then I'll vote McCain…I need this country to be safe!!!!! I've got kids in college and I cannot trust there future to someone who is learning on the job!!!!

You who said America need the Clintons because of the econonmy. Are you telling me they are no qualified people out there in this big country to do the same job. There are many people in this country that would do a better job. I personally would not vote for any corrupt politician because it reminds me of Africa.

….better situational awareness, "or else" we'll embark on a poorly thought out path…IE: She would avoid the poorly planned path more often than the current administration!

John is right. Hillary will only make it easier for the GOP to knock her off in the general. She is a Republican's dream, a woman with the last name of their most hated politician. The wife of the man who had a shameful affair in the oval office with a 19 year old intern. Don't get me wrong, I love Bill but Hillary is too calculating with a voting record that tried to show she was one of the boys. The Republicans have not been much better in the fidelity department, with Rudy and others but at least Obama doesn't have the baggage the Clinton's have.

Obama is not perfect, young, and relatively new to the game but this is what I expect in a Washington leader. We need someone who doesn't have such deep roots in the corruption/influence game. A wise man once said that "we are born knowing only life" (Enter the Dragon). A Washington leader who had lot's of experience probably would mean that that person has a legion of skeletons in their closet.

Obama would, better than anyone, be able to bring both sides together to acomplish some meaningful change. Will his ethnic background matter? This is a test for the American public. Obama also needs to pick a running mate (someone who looks and sounds like John Wayne) and would have the guts to tell the GOP/FOX knuckleheads to shut up. Can you believe that America the country that created leaders like Washington, Jefferson, Lincoln, Roosevelt, Kennedy, Reagan, now tortures people by drowning? We're better than that and we need a leader who also believes that this is true. We're the best in the world, we just need to continue to prove it!

Obama is a career politician! "How can I play the game to best benefit me"?

1) You did indicate that Iraq was a bad idea - however, you never were in a position to vote for or against it - one only wonders if you were a Senator what your vote might have been - we will never know. ["Bad idea" does not translate into TOTALLY AGAINST IT or VOTING AGAINST IT in political speak…]

2) You said you wanted to end the war, after you became a Senator, and yet you voted for $300+ BILLION to support the war in Iraq. [At least one of our Senators, Mr. Russ Feingold, had the COURAGE to both OPPOSE the IRAQ WAR [AND] VOTE "NO" to funding it!
3) You took donor money and then let him buy the empty lot next to your million dollar home and then you bought that lot from the same campaign donor who is now under indictment. What an odd coincidence the very same day you bought your home also happened to be the very same day your campaign donor bought that empty lot beside your house.

4) Your so called "blind trust" conveniently invested in two stocks in companies owned by major donors of your campaign. The one company was creating a new drug to combat avian flu. In your first two weeks you introduced major spending bills to combat avian flu.

5) The church you claim to attend is pro-African and appears to be anti-Jewish. Your own minister visited Libya with Louis Farrakhan, the leader of the Nation of Islam. Wright is quoted saying that "when [Obama's] enemies find out that in 1984 I went to Tripoli … with Farrakhan, a lot of his Jewish support will dry up quicker than a snowball in hell." Then in December 2007, Obama’s church honored the Nation of Islam leader, Louis Farrakhan with a “Lifetime Achievement Award”.

6) Your career in the Illinois legislature was marked by too many "present" votes and not enough FOR or AGAINST. Political opportunist.

7) In your biography, you stated you started using cocaine and marijuana in Hawaii because you were trying to come to terms with your identity. You used many created names for those old friends and they have now come forward to provide their real names and speak against your drug use.

Obama is not change but politics as usual.
He is cotton candy; all fluff and no substance.

Edwards 2008

Hillary you don't deserve not one vote from the American people. You lost in Iowa then criticize the entire state and caucuses. Only weeks of embrassing the people of Iowa and their democratic process. Hillary the picture is getting clear and clearer you don't care about no one but yourself. The only thing you have accomplished is being first lady. America please wake up and understand that the greatest danger to America is not Al Qaida. It is 28 years of Bushes and Clintons telling us what we can and cant do. Hope i didnt hurt your feeling Hillary.

When Bill Clinton took office, the Dow was roughly 2,700, before he finished, it hit 11,600. It's struggling today to stay over 12,000. When he was president, unemployment hit 3.9%. It hasn't been that good since. Clinton took care of the situation between the Serbs & Croates and never lost a soldier, worked hard to create peace in Northern Ireland (successfully) and fought like hell to bring peace between Isreal & Palestine (unsuccessfully) but it wasnt because he didn't try.

He did all this while Ken Starr and the republicans were spending 70 million dollars trying to cook up any kind of nasty little story they could about he and his wife. It didn't stick then, it wont stick now.

I don't know if I'll vote for Hillary or not, but I believe a hell of a lot of people have had enough of the negative stories about her and voted for her only because they wanted to vote for the person and not the adverse crap being pushed by corporate media. It was nice to see her get a fair shake. She deserves it and she deserves better treatment than she has received from the media and the repubs so far.

It really was nice last night to see the look on Lou Dobbs' face. I thought he was going to swallow his teeth! Chris Mathews was trying to hold it in but you could tell he was livid! Sorry guys, you'll have to hold off on the Barack coronation for a little while longer!

Bobby,

If you read the whole article, you will see that he voted present 136 times out of 4000 votes that took place during his time in the Illinois legislature. Granted, the issues that were presented during those 136 votes were very important; however, you will also see from the article that there were constructive and also important reasons behind each decision of a "present" vote, such as its impracticality, violation of Constitutional rights, or unpopularity amongst his constituency. I appreciate the fact that Obama is a political leader who can and will actually take the time to review the US Constitution, listen to his constituents, and debate the overall effectiveness of a bill before casting a vote that affects actual people. Several bills sound very good in theory, but can end up being impractical or just a representation of a quick fix that accomplishes nothing in the long run.

Ed,

I agree with you - BILL Clinton's time in office truly was a golden age for the American people, particularly the middle class; however, Hillary is not Bill! Our nation is terribly divided right now between red and blue; we need a leader that can bring and is known for bringing two sides together in compromise. Hillary is notorious for being a fighter and someone who will try and make "Republicans see the Light" (H. Clinton, Iowa Speech). While I admire this in her, I don't think it is what our nation needs right now. If anything, I believe it will just make the pendulum swing the other way and Congress will still be in a deadlock on every bit of legislation and the American people will be just as frustrated as they are now.

Despite the fact that Obama has less experience than H. Clinton, I am impressed with all that he has done within that time period and believe it is indicative of what he can do as a President. I believe America is sick of "the fight" and is ready for a leader that demands some compromise. Already Obama has accomplished a major achievement - he has forced every presidential candidate to really focus on the fact that it is time for a change! Obama has made these candidates finally listen to a bunch of citizens that are just disgusted with the current government, as well as brought several citizens out of their apathetic status and encouraged them to begin to believe they can actually be heard by a government that was established for the people and by the people!

Considering this was New Hampshire, her firewall, and she was predicted to be unbeatable there, I'm not too suprised.

Hopefully the rest of America is smarter than NH and won't fall for her fake tears.

Funny how people go with the flow. Apart from hearing that Obama is a fresh face in politics no one really talks about what 'change' he will bring to US. I found it amusing when he says he learnt his foreign policy as a kid student in Indonesia.

I like all the talk about Sen. Obama being the candidate to run all the way to November. Unfortunately its flawed.

We live in a nation of color, especially when it comes to politics. Red and Blue states. Yellow-dog democrats. It is sad but true to say that Mr. Obama is the wrong color. Its not that he's too black — he's too green. He's too inexperienced to win a general election.

For all of his comparisons to JFK, Mr. Obama did not have 14 years in Congress under his belt, nor was he a war hero.

Could you imagine an Obama-McCain election? Sen. McCain will trounce Sen. Obama on experience and national security. The realism of fear always trumps the poetry of hope. Look at how the Republicans swiftboated Kerry. They'll do worse to a man who has no military background and has openly admitted to hard drug use.

If the rest of the Democratic party is half as smart as those party goers in New Hampshire, Sen. Clinton or Sen. Edwards will get the nomination.

I think the Unions should tread very carefully when they arrogantly flaunt who they think will do the best for the union member's causes. Frankly, I am a Union member, and I believe the vast majority of USA residents are NOT union members. If union members REALLY want to pick someone who will "bring the nation together", they would not appear to be so self-serving in their approach. It's not just about fighting for union folks, you know. I know that the Bush administration was certainly anti-union, and all his cronies were too. However, if the Democrat party doesn't wake up to the fact that more and more folks are considering themselves "independents", they will lose the election. Just picking someone you THINK will support the union mission may result in people dumping the democrat party folk moderate Republicans who will not try to destroy union strength, but not be so selfishly focussed on American residents who belong to unions.

Obama and Hillary have a voting record that is 90% the same.
That is, when he bothers to show up and vote at all, which has been rare recently.
Obama takes PAC money and money from Wall street and he is not the little guy.
You can learn about voting records at votesmart.org and and where money is coming from, michaelmoore.com Obama gives a good speech but he is not qualified.

the american people should know that it is not about race [black or white,] but about change that will bring about sustanable growth in the american economy .therefore obama remains the man for the job for precident

Great! Now the Sopranos support Barack!

I think that Hillary's critics are women-hating. Come on, get real. Men in America really don't believe a woman can be president, and that's what people are not wanting to be open and honest about. But, I bet those same male critics have strong women, wives, mothers, sisters, who work full-time, run their households, do good in their communities, and raise healthy children, our Country's real future. Men, by and large are not the primary caregivers of children, still in 2008. And to all the women over 40 out their who don't support Hillary in her mission, I say you're pathetic. Hillary is not your usual female political candidate. She has contributed GREATLY to the women and children of America and the World, in terms of her work and volunteering activities. Due to those loyalities women in America owe her some gratitude and support. But, you just keep on letting Men decide your futures. Hillary will be my candidate in the 2008 election. She is more qualified compared to Barack or John.

Hillary has found her voice in NH and it will resonate with all of America…Go Hillary we Love you…The Come Girl..

Ada, Diane,

Not sure what Hillary would have to do to be "real" or "incorrupt" to you or others who are (in my opinion) hyper-critical of her every move….every politician has writers and looks for ways to express his or herself to their supporters and especially to those who may be trying to make a decision. When she's tough, she gets blasted for being a machine, not a real person with feelings…she shows professionalism folks! SHe shows some emotion and Edwards acts like she can't handle the fire…His wife has cancer and he's on the trail…I'm sure the toughest lady he knows (his wife!!!) has shed a tear or two and more power to her!!! I may be a bit biased by now…I used to "dislike" the very idea of voting for Hillary but I see someone who rolled up her sleeves in Congress and achieved her own level of skill and success in a difficult man driven environment…reminding me of the female supervisors I have had in 25 years in the Air Force who maintained the discipline and technical expertise comensurate with their rank and position without losing the very human, personal side that many women are blessed with! In my experience these talented women LISTENED more intently to their advisors and to those working for them and expressed their concerns with their actions as a result - REAL LEADERSHIP! Hillary demonstrated that by learning from her mis-steps with Health care and by working hard in congress - in ways that impressed Democrats and Republicans. Oh, Ed, be careful, you should say Republican policies of this administration BUT to say Republicans are the ruiniation is to overstate the problem - it infers that Democrats or the Clinton era was filled with perfection - far from it…BUT there are important lessons to learn - many good, and yes, some bad from those days. I was there and while I long for a strong dollar, not every decision was golden…we need balance! Balance that the far from extreme Hillary Clinton could provide!!!! Here's an example of what I fear: How will Obama handle intelligence gathering for the military? The amount of money spent on Intel has slipped terribly under Bush due to the stretched budget of all DoD during this GWOT. Hillary knows why she was duped during the run-up to the war - the info provided was weak (Trust me - it didn't have that stamped on it!) Obama's opposition wasn't based upon a better understanding of the socio-political complexities of the middle-east than Clinton - so will he know what we need to be safe? Hillary knows we need better HUMINT (Human Intelligence gathered first hand by multiple operatives)….She will not be at the end of another misguided intel effort - Speaking of John F. Kennedy, the same thing happened to him during The Bay of Pigs…poor intel led to a disaster…corrections were made within the white house staff, key military advisors were given a less prominent role AND ultimately we handled the next crisis much better. The experience Hillary has will help NOW and Obama can keep learning and keep preparing for his opportunity to lead.

We need a president whose office can provide HEALTH CARE and JOBS for ALL AMERICANS!! Shipping jobs overseas for the benefit of the wealthy population is NOT respecting the needs of workers. A nation needs to be strong economically and militarily…by having a HEALTHY, working class (the backbone of America) and a progressive taxation system where all citizens and residents pay their fair share (and that includes the MILLIONAIRES and BILLIONAIRES) , we can pay for the areas of Defense and Social Services for our wonderful United States of America.

In my opinion, the most experienced candidate for the presidency would be Hillary Clinton…and Barak Obama as vice president would be a complimentary asset to the oval office. A woman and an African-American would certainly offer a most needed change in American politics because they would respect the needs and human rights of our diversified society.

Thank you for providing us the opportunity on sharing our views. I believe in news expertise and those polls showing Obama ahead of clinton were real but it is rather unfortunate that most of the american voters are still plagued with hypocritism and fear. Obamas has an american story of hope to proof people wrong coming from the streets of Chicago and paving his way to the congress and subsequently the Senate. I hear everyone chanting"the First African American presidential hopeful" and I ask myself that why are we americans still racist and being stereotypical because no one talks of his whiteness or that he was born from a white mother.
He acted presidential despite the childish attacks from Hillary and Bill, he still acted gentlemanly,I respect that. The experience factor the other candidates are boasting of, I still everyone is aware that the mess the USA is in were done by the most experienced political legends that have worked with different presidents in the like of Cheney, Condoleeza,Rumsfield and many more. And let us not forget that ther are many new president worldwide without prior experience that have change their country for good.
We resist changes and still love our old dirty politics,its a pity that the White America we live in still has no remorse for its new products in the likes of Obama, Ron Paul,Richardson,Edwards and Gravel.
America has not seen anything yet I can assure you that if Washington does not change its politics, USA will lost its respect not only worldwide from foreign countries, lostits balance of power to both Russia and China but breed more inborn domestic terrorists than anticipated.The Euro is gaining glory, the economy is in recession,hope and optimism is not part of our story but fear of 9/11 and attacks making us more vulnerable than previously.
The race is not over, Hillary will not change politics in USA despite her experience I can assure you now after her term if at all she is electable.When did americans start choosing political division over unity,war over economy, experience over hope and racism over justice?well its true, we resist changes and the consequences will continue to plague this generation to come.

Oh, that crisis was a little thing called The Cuban Missile Crisis".

We, the next generation is going to take what is rightfully ours, the presidency. Obama 2008, Yes We Can! All we need is another decade of you old people ruining the world.

It is time for a change . The old "status quo" has had opportunity to make changes and we hear about their passion and need for change during an election year then they go back to their entrenched comfortable envirounment in Washington and forget the people. I think change is allowing new blood, new ideas to go to Washington. They can't do any worse than we have now?

It is sad for me to agree with the neo-conservatives, which I usually do not , but I am going to do that now. I watched Hillary cry, and I felt sorry for her. Following the cry , I listened to what Hillary said, and I was astounded by her words. Fellow Americans, we have come so long from the dark ages, and we should not take the country back there. With freshness of the memory of the words from Hillary's mouth about another democratic contestant, and the words from the Bill, himself, and I am now certain that the republican party's fears about Hillary may well be correct. It seems to me that she will do whatever it takes to win , even if by savaging other people in her own party, and that is just amazing. This is not the time to remind people about our racial makeups as she clearly did. It is foolish and very evil. This is not the time to raise neo-cons and anarchists in the democratic party in the form of Hillary Clinton. Every American citizen of any standing should be free to contest any election and leave it to the people to decide. on whether they are up to it or not. It is very catastrophic and dangerous to allow this woman who , as the neo-cons say, wants power power and power at all costs to take over the leadership of the country because I think she will be worse than the current president at making gaffes and hotchpotch decisions. Unless we think carefully, the world and America will be missing a leader in the next four or eight leaders.

I hope that the one thing that Obama supporters got out of this is that every vote does count. Do not think that the Clinton machine cannot be beat. (They will play dirty politics) The younger generation is the hope of the future, but you have to vote. Obama's message is inspiring, but it is also telling you that you can change the world if you do the work. That means you can not rely on the polls, or the media to tell you that you are winning, you must do the work and vote.

For those of you who believe the President has control over the economy, you are in for a rude awakening. The Fed controls the economy. Our economy is in this mess because of the housing crisis, and who do you think started this mess? Greenspan. Though, Bush did make things worse by throwing money away fighting a war that wasn't supposed to take place in the first place.

Obama has what 2 years expereince as a US senator? Hillary dusts him in any policy debate, she knows her stuff ans has tried to make change happen before, she fought for a better health plan when she was first lady, years ahead of its time, she has stood up for womens and minority rights more than anyone over the past 20 years, you want to talk about change? Do you realize the change of having the 1st woman president would have? Not just here but across the world/ U.S. womean might fibnally be able to get rid of that glass ceiling. Ask yourself this, when do you think ther GOP will have a women or minority presidential candidate(dont tell me Keys) I mean a real women or minority candidate, probably not for another 100 years. Hillary is the right choice to lead us, she's smarter, I almost nwever hear Obama talking policy, he talks in genralities, all he says is change, what change? HOW DO YOU MAKE IT HAPPEN? He's not telling us ideas, just selling us dreams, Hillary has a plan and a vision.

old people voted for Hillary in NH… The old guard has been awakened by Obama's victory in IA and his EXTREMELY close second in NH, Hillary's own back yard.

The 18-40 crowd is behind Obama. We are tired of the legacy that racism, classism and cultural fear have created in "the land of the free". Minorities want to see "somebody else" in the white house. White folks want to show the world that we have moved past good ol' boy (or girl) politics and really do embrace our diversity.

I can't believe people are throwing out the "Oprah" card… First of all, Oprah had no buisness using her popularity to sway voters. She needs to stick to her talk show and stay out of politics. It would be different if she was fair and balanced, but she's not. She is backing up Obama because he is black and she wants to see history be made with the first black president. And, that would be fine if he had the experience to be a good president, but he does not. Where is his record? What has he voted for or against in congress? Let's hear some substance here…

Hillary has layed out her past and present achievements and has not lied about her votes in congress. She has a sure plan for the future and she is simply the best suited candidate to run our country. Facts are facts….

Hillary is campaigning on her husbands experience, and does not have the 35 years she claims. If she wins the nomination, the republican's will most certainly retain the white house for at least another term. She has proven that she is calculated and very "political" which is not what this nation needs. Most of us have had enough with the politicians that currently run our country, states, and local government. Just because she had an emotional moment the other day, does not mean she is willing to fight the system that she and her husband have greatly prospered from.

I find it interesting that the Hillary supporters are following this "experience" that she does not have. If they remember, Bill was a Governor from a small state who had very little experience, but that people trusted. I do not trust Hillary, nor will she get my supporting vote if she is the democratic nominee. I will continue to vote independant until this country wakes up and realizes that institutionalized politicians have led to our demise (Democrats and Republicans alike).

I strongly believe Obama is the person for this election. I believe the Clintons regime is over. We need someone new and fresh. People all over the world look at America and think americans are power hungry, killing innocent people, and definately don't care about their own people. If Obama wins this election we will have a new face. Someone that can not be pre-judged. Someone that can deliver peace in this world and definately someone that cares for its people. This is something Hillary Clinton can not do. The world and America knows her and yes she has 35 years of experiences but her experiences are old and from a diffrent time frame. Its time for a change and its ONLY Obama that can really make this change happen.

Two states have spoken about their preferences for candidates for the presidency…
The game is afoot and the rest of the country casts a weary eye towards Iowa and New Hampshire. The war, the economy, the health care issues will not be be fixed overnight when one of these fine politicians emerge as a winner of this power-packed race. It is up to the American public to demand of these people solutions that we as a people can work together on. We cannot continue to build class distinctions in this country and expect to survive as a economically feasible nation. Now listen closely to these candidates and see where they will steer us if elected. Vote for the one who will unite us for these common causes and not continue to undermine our values as Americans. We need a united effort to bring Change to this country.

It's not "change for its own sake" that have people excited. People want to break away from the "sold to the highest bidder" approach to government policy that has damaged this country for so many decades. This speaks to farmers and working class people alike. I think Hillary is a good solid candidate, but on the other hand, she also brings a degree of corporate pandering & hawkishness that gives me serious doubts about her ability to bring about substantive change on many issues: including the environment & climate, poverty & healthcare, our entrenchment in foreign wars, AND the many civil rights encroachments swept in under the Patriot Act.

Obama may not have as much experience, but he brings a new perspective to the old hacks that have been locked into "money talks" politics for too long. Change has to start somewhere — if not now, when? To my mind, it's no accident that all three top winners in Iowa (Obama, Edwards, Huckabee) brought a populist message.. Americans want ordinary people and the American dream to matter!

Matt… it really trips me out that people spout on about how much more experience Hillary has over Obama… You have just proven my point. No matter how much experience you have, you still need advisors, speech writers, Generals, ambassadors and all those other people who help the president run this country. What we need is somebody who provides a spark for the rest of us to catch fire and make America great in the eyes of the world again.

OBAMA '08

some things to think about if you're considering voting for Obama,He has been a United States Senator for only two years and much of that time has been spent promoting his books and his candidacy. He is very soft on crime, look at his record in the state sentate and his incredibly short record in the US senate. Obama has given a great deal of credit to the influence his church and his minister have had upon him.Nothing wrong with that in fact I feel thats apositive, but if you look closer at his church it is in fact the Trinity United Church of Christ and follows a particularly Afro-centric view of Christianity, emphasizing a Black Work Ethic, commitment to a Black Value System, and an allegiance to all Black Leadership that follows the Black Value System. A brief review of its philosophy shows that this is not your everyday Christian parish and perhaps accounts for his campaign's dropping of the name "Trinity" when discussing his church membership. Given the anti-Semitism that is sadly so often associated with other leaders and groups that have emphasized black separatism and empowerment (think Louis Farrakhan, Jesse Jackson, and Al Sharpton) perhaps some qualms might be warranted, particularly given some of the actions and statements of the Church's minister.

Reverend Jeremiah Wright, Jr. is the long-time Pastor of Obama's church, and Obama has credited him as being an inspiration and guiding light for him. He is a spiritual mentor to Obama and coined the term the "audacity of hope" that Obama has essentially made a theme of his campaign as well as the title of a book. He also has, in the words of the Chicago Tribune, a militant past. Moreover, Pastor Wright has beliefs that might disturb some of Obama's supporters. He is a believer in "liberation theology," which makes the liberation of the oppressed a paramount virtue. The language of liberation all too often veers off into anti-Jewish rants. For example, one of the founders of the movement, Gustavo Gutierrez, has stated that the infidelities of the Jewish people made the Old Covenant [between the Jews and God] invalid." Pastor Wright is also a supporter of Louis Farrakhan, and in 1984 traveled with him to visit Col. Muammar al-Gadaffi, an archenemy of Israel's and America and a firm supporter of terror groups. So something tells me that Obama is not really for the people, aat least not all people.

Ron in TX. I do not profess to support either Hillary or Obama. But have you got your balls and your brains in your briefcase. Hillary didn't just win by 2.5 percentage points. All state polls, including the candidates internal polls had Hillary down by 11-15%. That, my friend, is a 13-17% swing. Go do your math boy! and stop the spin. Obama, while a great orator (I grant you that) lacks substance. We are a world with significant challenges, we do not need a newbe in office. Also take a look at his voting record in Illinois as a state senator. He voted "present" instead of "for" or "against" specific measures and legislation. That is cowardly in my book. He should of taken a stand. This makes him no different than any of the other candidates in the field. As a registered independent, leaning libertarian, I still do not know who I will vote for. But suffice it to say it will not be Obama. American needs to wake up and become educated. If you can be moved to vote for someone because they look good, speaks eloquently…. that's pretty scary. Drill down into the issues and you will find he lacks depth. Let Obama go preach at the Sunday masses and leave the politics to others. Can I get an Amen.

CHANGE IS HAVING RECORD VOTING TURNOUTS. CHANGE IS COMMANDING FAIRLY CIVIL CAMPAIGNING FROM AN ENTIRE PARTY (until recently). CHANGE IS HAVING YOUNG VOTERS CARING ABOUT AN ELECTION. CHANGE IS TAKING MONEY FROM INDIVIDUALS, NOT SPECIAL INTERESTS AND LOBBYISTS. CHANGE IS BEING THE ONLY CANDIDATE (besides ron paul) HAVING A CONSISTENT MESSAGE THROUGHOUT AN ENTIRE CAMPAIGN. CHANGE IS HAVING DEMOCRATS, INDEPENDENTS AND A FEW REPUBLICANS CHAMPIONING YOUR CAUSE. CHANGE IS HAVING THE ENTIRE WORLD EYEING AN AMERICAN ELECTION, EAGER, NOT WORRIED, ABOUT THE OUTCOME. CHANGE IS HAVING HOPE, NOT FEAR.

how can people not see the change that Barack Obama has already brought to this election?

While I like Obama, his argument for "change" seems rather silly, given that his current term as Senator has been all about playing it safe. He has no courageous votes, has written no policy of note, and hasn't bothered to become an expert on any substantive policy area. He speaks eloquently and is smart, but that may not be enough. I distrust anyone who becomes a maverick for the sake of elections.

If we agree that change is needed, then I would rather put my faith in someone who masters broad policy (especially, foreign) with hard work and an attention to detail. Thus far, only Hillary Clinton and Bill Richardson have demonstrated that degree of work ethic…

And, before anyone spouts off about Barack's war stance, in 2004 he gave a speech saying that, had he been provided the information that Hillary and McCain received, he perhaps would have voted to authorize force as an impetus to allowing insepctors in Iraq. As a State Senator, he didn't have to vote on the issue, so we'll never really know what he might have done had he been in Washington. It's true that he was an early war critic, but that was rather easy for one who would never be called upon to cast a 'real' vote. Since being put in office, his votes match the Democtratic leadership perfectly, with one or two exceptions. The man is as much a part of the establishment as Hillary…

Hilary is just another member of the old white generation of politics as usual. She's accepting money from questionable sources placing herself and her political values under the heading of "serious conflict of interest". It's time for a complete overhaul. A fresh start starting with a man of integrity and values. A truly honest man who deeply believes in himself and his country's courage and ability to face and take on the changes we as a people must if we are to survive. There is a whole new world order on the horizon of which we American's can proudly take our place if we only dig deeply enough within ourselves and are courageous enough to be honest about what needs to be done. Barack Obama, you are one of those rare GREAT individuals that grace our lives only once in a lifetime if at all.
WE the people of the United States of America stand tall with you Barack. We believe in you because you have shown us we can beleive in the power of US again. YES WE CAN!!!!

I'm glad Hillary won the NH primary, because I'm one of the 99% who would like to my voice heard (i.e., my vote). I want the conversation to continue, because as hard as it is on the candidates, it will only make them BETTER and STRONGER when it comes time to face-off with the Republican nominee.

One thought that scares me a bit… back in 2000, words like "change" and "Washington outsider were used to describe another candidate…George W. Bush. Bush said he'd have a humble foreign policy, but 9/11 changed everything.

And look where HIS presidency took us. OUCH. We can't afford another mistake like that.

I don't see an Obama presidency going that route, but it does make one pause. Personally, I'll support the Demoratic nominee, whoever he or she might end up being.

Obama's inspirational speeches are wonderful. His debating skill …not so much. He needs to be more specific.

Edwards has been a wonderful addition to the electoral process. He's making Clinton and Obama work hard for the nomination. If you think about it, both Clinton and Obama have lifted parts of Edwards speeches and ideas, and made it their own. It's unfortunate that Edwards doesn't get more credit for that in the press.

Clinton needs to keep up what she started in NH. Show some passion, emotion, continue giving specifics with how she differs from Edwards and Obama. Continue connecting with voters AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE, answering questions, hearing concerns, etc.

It's an exciting time we live in… I can't wait to see what happens next!

LT

Funny you said that let's see what Moore said about Clinton

There was no doubt about it. The message from Iowa tonight was simple, but deafening:

If you're a candidate for President, and you voted for the war, you lose. And if you voted and voted and voted for the war — and never once showed any remorse — you really lose.

I'm convinced LT you're a Clinton…distortion of the truth!!!

i would love to see a woman become president, but on her own merits and not thanks to having gotten elected on the coattails of her husband's popular presidency, then shedding crocodile tears to win over some 'poor me' votes. America is a country that has always looked forward and given new people new chances to move us into the future. hillary is a warp back to a past, which may have been pleasant in the nineties, but is now over.

i am so tired of hearing about how experienced she is at producing change anyway. what change has hillary ever produced? she's always been on the losing side of congress, except when she has voted to support Bush in iraq, and during her years as first lady, she didn't get anything done either, ruining our chances at health care and real gay rights for a good 15 years. she is a huge postponer, who finds an excuse in the difficult forces of right-wing america. every time she fails to achieve anything, she says it is because you have to do change slowly and prudently. rubbish! she has just already proven that she is pathetic at producing change, but thinks that by repeating the mantra that she has "experience producing change" we will start to believe it. when in reality she is the biggest corporate lackey of the democrat bunch.

i, a lifelong democrat, will refrain from voting if she wins the nomination, as will many people i assume. and not a single republican will ever vote for her. obama is the only democrat that has appeal for the other side that can allow us to win big , and drag many senate races with him.

hillary is fine in her cushy little senate position where she can rake in the corruption, excuse me, lobby money at will.

Matt, I'll take good judgement over political 'experience' any day. Where was Clinton's 'experience' when she decided to go along with Bush's blatantly illegitimate attack on Iraq? A decision which she unfathomably continues to defend. If that's what 'experience' brings to office, then give me a less 'experienced' candidate, please. Pretty much every one else in this democratic primary had the good sense to resist Bush to some degree, though eventually most caved in. It appears that only Clinton still thinks it's somehow defensible. Based on his character as a person AND his real experience FORGING and LEADING coalitions to make the small changes that are maybe not so sexy but make a real difference in people's lives…Obama's got exactly the kind of 'experience' necessary to start leading 'on day one' and begin to repair the damage caused by eight years of ignorant, crony-worshipping leadership.

Angry people… WOW! I enjoy all the bashing of Hillary Clinton. I didn't hear this anger when Bill had our Economy at its best. Now, you cry like babies when Obama isn't certain to win the race… No one knows the outcome (take it from the NH race) Sit back, be nice and accept that we have a senator who can bring this countries economy back to a decent level. Hell, its going to take years to clean up George's (who doesn's deserve my respect) mess.

We need a President who can run this country, keep us safe, and stop the killing of our troops who have done nothing but put themselves in harms way (thanks to George)

My complete vote for Hillary!

It is pretty clear that there are definite differences in political attitudes. For years I have heard nothing but bad things about Bill Clinton and Hillary. The things I have heard are a matter of public record. I cannot understand why people are aginst them. During the William Jefferson Clinton presidency, people were economiclly better off than they are today. That may not have anything to do with who the occupant of the White house was. As for Barack Obama, he brings a sense of decency which is good. You don't need a whole lot of experinece to be president. You need to be able to make the right decsion for the Nation. That is not the same as making the right decision for people you like more. The President of the United States only obligation is to ensure that the nation is in better shape when he or she leaves office. Which brings me to the point of this submission. The voting public should be educated enough to be able to determine who they feel will be able to make the United States of America a better country. That should be the only consideration. In this country, the process works with a majority vote. 50.1% will be considered a win. Because we are the United States we will probably not be able to agree on any issue completely. We should however look at the issues in the light of what is good for the nation. The answer may or may not be the same as what is good for me. Since this is such a defining moment ,we as Americans need to really thing about what and who is the best choice for the American way of life. To anser you question, I am a Hillery supporter.

Im hope that when I come spend my money in nevada that the unions support hillary clinton and if not I guess californians will have to spend more money in the indian casinos in there own state ! Im glad to see that the latino papers are supporting her and that means the rest of the latino community will fall in line not because they don't like Obama but its a matter of trust and they trust her as do most californians ! so nevada come on in for the big win with hillary ! even las vegas odds are in her favor and you know what happens to unions when they support the wrong one ! I know because Im a teamster and in support of hillary clinton

Before retiring, I have been part of several companies and countries. Without any reservation I can say that talk is cheap as I have known and still individuals who talk a lot but that is all their track record is - great talker. Remeber, empty vessel makes a lot of noise.

Obama is no different - he is an opportunist and nothing wrong with it but it is our job to really dig into records of the candiates and make a decision. I remember what media and pundits said and behaved during 2000 election. Bush the charmer was their favourite and called Al Gore a frigid. Well, Bush has taken our charm away for last seven years and distributed among his buddies. On the other hand, the frigid Gore won the noble prize. Media brainwashes people brain and subtly tells you who to vote for. It is the same media whose officers, managers, and executives we see on TV daily. If you want to follow them and vote - go for it. But it is not too smart especially you are also an adult.

Since late October media has been coming out with polls showing all Republican candidates would beat Hillary by higher single digit to double digit whie Obama would beat each of them on one on one contest. Ask yourself a question - where did that poll and who paid for it? Who asked for the polls?

Wake up America, Obama is not the right candidate now. Do not forget Clintons left a better America than they received from the Father Bush and then the son Bush messed it up. It is during the Clintons we all prospered a great and our international standing and reputation was great.

Once again, media is brainwashing you for the "charmer" and some of you are falling for it. Hillary will win and if she poses then America loses.

Mortgage crisis, IRAQ, Iran, Pakistan, Social Security, Health Insurance, Education, Dollar falling, Oil price rising; etc - Obama has no clue. Also, if you think this is it - wait for the republican machine - they will crucify him before the general election. They want him to win the nomination to keep the White House.

Enough said - Think like an adult and use your common sense.

Does anyone remember when Hillary Clinton started her campaign in NY State for the senate and even after she was elected adamantly stated that the White House was not her goal.

So after a short stint in NY, she's through with it, and needs to move on to bigger and better things.

Then why would she move from the south, to a house in NY State, and decide that NY State is the one she needed to be a Senator for? What is wrong with the other 49 states?

It could not have anything to do with all the Democratic delegates that go along with a run for the White House.

The people of NY were hosed into providing a springboard for her, and do have not much to show for it, instead of electing a true proponent and representative.

Just what experience does Hillary have besides trying to win one for the Zipper? This woman will not unite the country. She acts like a junk yard dog. Obama gives hope and shows how presidential a gentle person is. McCain is a fighter but he is fair and honest. I believe either of these would be good for America. Hillary would be a self serving divider and would be an embarrasment.

Obama's shallow record is a joke and for a Union to back him because he's a great preacher well shame on them.

The people that believe in the "Clinton Golden Era" have a very simplistic view of history. I had no real problem with President Clinton during his presidency other than the fact that he was a very poor role model for our country. But let's all be realistic, the Clinton years were massively impacted and supported by the explosion of the internet. Jobs and money were created by that industry in staggering numbers. There was amazing growth in the economy (very little of which can be attributed to Clinton or his policies). As we saw at the turn of the century though, that growth was not sustainable. The market dropped and we all came back to reality. Give the President Clinton credit for doing some good things, but don't be foolish enough to believe that he or his policies were the cause of the great growth in wealth during the 90s. You will not get the same thing this time around. Hillary would probably be a fine president, but please only give credit where credit is due.

Oprah is insane. If you would see her show, you'd realize that she isn't a very credible, stable person. Her endorsement of Obama Barack is not a good thing in my book.

For those "tired of the negative stories about Clinton"

Think about it from our side…we are trying and trying to show you what shes really about….how she lies (35 years political experience; moves from Arkansas to NY to run for senator….in fact she wouldn't of even qualified for a student loan…she didn't live there long enough)

we are tired of you guys believing it….please just read her thesis paper on Saul Alinksky….its out there….and look at the 800 billion in entitlement spending she has proposed and how it correlates with his teachings….the war will end..and we can re-pay the current debt….but entitlement programs last forever….(btw…Saul Alinsky was a grassroots Marxist) "mandated healthcare" is socialism

Ann is right - "every vote counts" . That's why NObama brought Illinois residents into Iowa to caucus for him and got an artificial victory and rode artificial momentum into NH. He couldn't fix the vote in NH, which is why Clinton WON.

White, black, man, woman, old, young - it doesn't matter. Hillary Clinton is the only candidate who is prepared and will make a difference (VERY SICK OF THE C-WORD) on Day 1.

Get out of the NObama media affair and stand with the only person who can help us take our country back.

HILLARY CLINTON '08

As always when a person is extremely bright we have a bunch of stupid people trying to bring this person dawn!!! Barack Obama is the man !!! Hilary is not Bill , she is a experienced first lady because she lived in the White House for 8 follwing years. Big deal!!! Barack is the man !!! Young, bright and capable and he is bringing everybody together, that's all we need to put back our country, America, in the right track!!

"…..this isn't the 90's anymore and we don't want that drama again."

WHAT?? I would much rather have a President that had some personal issues but was able to run our country well. Right now we have an idiot that couldn't find his way out of a paper sack. Seriously do I care who my CEO of my company sleeps with, no. I just care about the results, how well does my company perform. I know Hillary has proven results. Obama, well all I know is that he's a slick talker. He's upset about what Bill said, thin skined too! What will he do if he does get the nomination, when the entire Republican machine goes after him? Give him the Democratic nom. and we'll have another 4 years of a Republican White House.

Clintons are power hungry couples. She was emotional couple days ago and Bill sped up his criticism of Obama—doing everything in power to get his wife back into White House. Her emotion was bought by some of voters but will not be granted by rest of the States

I would ask: since Obama is for "change" -exactly what did he "change" while in his 2 years in the Senate? Where are his "courageous ideas" and "visionary bills" that he pushed for - or did he simply go with the flow, and use his natural charisma to vault himself to national attention?

Exactly what are his credentials to lead anything? He's a good speaker, but then again, most radio personalities are good speakers, and I wouldn't want them to lead our country either…..

As for Oprah…she is an excellent businesswoman, obviously charismatic, intelligent…hey - maybe she should be running instead of Obama….at least she has a successful track record at building a business….

Hillary has almost given a life time serving this country. It is her time now. Obama can wait for his time. Obama, keep doing the good work and wait for your turn. Let's be part of history and elect a woman president. It's about time that we do that. Let's not just preach eqality. Let us practice it.

Say change becuase he wants win. How he can change? He bring up too much about color. If we are one conutry, and why black have to vote black? Black-Opera-Obama-are one conutry?

I have lived in NYC for more than 30 years and Hillary has been one of our best senators ever, her service to the peole of my homestate is the reason I am voting for her asr President.

WHAT DID OPRAH DO? SHE HAS A GOOD SHOW BUT IT DOES NOT MEAN TO SAY THAT SHE CAN MOVE PEOPLE TO VOTE FOR OBAMA.SHE ENDORSE OBAMA COZ HE IS WITH THE SAME RACE AS HER BUT I BET YOU IF OBAMA DID NOT RUN SHE WILL VOTE FOR MRS.CLINTON .

Do we really want our first woman president to be someone who rode into the White House on her husband's coat tail?? Or do we want this historic first to be reserved for a woman who accomplished this feat on her own??

I am a long time registered republican, and yes I am sick of the same ol' thing!! The Democratic party needs to understand one thing, guys on the fence like me, will vote for Obama, not HRC!!!

No Obama no vote. Bill and Billary are playing the washington game of twisting ones words. Bill did it on tape years ago for all the world to see and now he is doing it to Obama. Well Dems I hope that you know what you are doing because the vote that you took for granted for years will not be there for you this time.
No Obama no vote.

I still don't get it why we need to vote for Obama. He is an excellent speaker and he draws a nice looking pizza in the sky and encourage everyone to follow him to reach it. The thing is I need real food to feed me and my family and I am not convinced he is capable of bringing in something real for me or not. Don't give me wrong I like the changes. I may like to see the change from a Republican President to a Democratic President. But I want to make sure the person run for Presidency knows what are good changes and how to make a good change, not just for change sake.

You found your voice?

Really?

So all the speeches before were written by others?

Vote NO for Hillary Clinton!

She's a divider, and both her and her husband are liars!

A vote for HRC means a vote for the Republican nominee. It is Obama who is bringing the people together. He inspires the people and gives America the HOPE for the future. Even after Iowa, he was behind HRC in polls and yet he got over 36.4% or nearly 105,000 votes in a state which is 95% white. He has broken the barrier. This is an extra ordindary achievement. In the last few days, the media went crazy with the polls. I think that he did very well in the two states each with 95% white population.

Therefore, I think that HRC's tears and Bill's false charges against Obama played a major part in the final outcome. In fact, this is good for Obama. Now, he must fight back hard in usual dignified manner.

John: Likewise, she has not responded to my letters and e-mails. All other senators and congressmen have responded to me including John MCCain.

Remember that Bill Clinton ran on a Healthcare Reform Platform in 1992. Even with a Democratic-controlled Congress, he couldn't get his Healthcare plan passed. This failure and his general ineptitude led to record low approval ratings for a mid-term President, and it also led to the Republican Congressional Revolution of 1994, giving rise to Trent Lott and Newt Gingrich as Senate Majority Leader and Speaker of the House respectively. Yes there was economic prosperity during the Clinton years. You have to give at least some of the credit to Alan Greenspan (a Reagan appointee) and the fiscally conservative-controlled Congress. These wonder years also created the financial market bubbles from which we still haven't recovered (the NASDAQ was 5000 in 1999; it’s at less than 2500 today). The budget surplus that they bragged about meant that the government was TAXING the people more than it was PAYING for services to help the people. Meanwhile Social Security was left unfunded, and the nation’s public school system slipped to last in the world among developed countries.
At the end of the Reagan Administration, one in every four black males under the age of 40 had a criminal rap sheet. At the end of the Clinton Administration, one in every three had one. The majority of this increase was due to petty burglary and drug possession convictions - thanks to the combination of his Welfare Reform and Crime Bills. He also began the process of privatizing the crowded federal prison system so that it could be a profitable industry for publicly held corporations. Clinton was the first Black President? With friends like that, who needs enemies?
Osama Bin Laden became a superstar under the Clinton Administration. Remember that the WTC was first bombed in 1993 by an unknown radical Islamic extremist group led by Ramzi Yousef , a terrorist who trained in Afghanistan. Bin Laden continued the attacks with the US Embassy bombing in Tanzania (199 and also the USS Cole bombing off the coast of Yemen (Oct. 2000). The September 11 attacks were plotted, financed and coordinated by Bin Laden’s 1998 fatwa. These known terrorists were able to freely travel through American airports, learn our security systems and even attend flight training sessions for their future attack. What was Bill Clinton preoccupied with in 1998? He was defending himself for his sexual improprieties with a White House intern, perjuring himself and obstructing justice along the way. I will vote for ANY candidate before I vote for Clinton again. Please think before you vote.

Sean, I like how you put that! And I would like to add that now that the candidates have a state a piece lets put gender and race out of this and start to debate the issues.

There are some interesting comments here . . How can someone be president when they avoids making a decision as Obama has in congress. He walks the fence very well but he needs to go on one side or the other and vote yeah or nay or an issue. Just dont vote will not hack it. I listen to Obama a few times and still cant figure what he stands for.. Change ?? How? What is the plan? How is he going to change things? Where is his support? I heard him criticize others plans but present none himself. Does anyone listen to him? Universal health care .. great idea I am all for it.(even when Hilary tried in the past). How are we going to pay for it? Big oil companies with major profits How is he going to help us here.. TALK TALK TALK.. Outsourcing is killing americas industries. Ok he said that, how is he going to change that? Drug industry! We can have cheaper prices if we fly to another country and pick up the drug there.. What is the plan? The congress is still going to be Republican and Democrats ? We need to work together for once , for the people not the big companies who are draining americans dry.. No people no industry remember that.

Obama should sit back and learn something

Obama Where is your plan . Give me a good plan and you will get my vote. Stop telling us what we want to hear and show us how you are going to do it.

Wake up people

I have a big problem puting someone in the highest office office of our nation
that does not recite the pledge or put his hand over his heart while the pledge is
being recited our when our nation anthem is being played. We live in a great
nation but have many of our servicemen and women in harms way. By Obama
not honoring the pledge or the anthem his is dishonoring all our military people
past and present. We do not need him in the White Office. We need Hilary to
bring back our nation to the power we were and to have resept from other peoples
around the world. GOD BLESS AMERICA and all our men and women in the
military.

It amazes me to hear the media's comments on experience vs. change! Experience can be good but how many Presidents and Leaders of Fortune 100 and 500 companies have there been with alot of experience who failed miserably at their Jobs. Sometimes with experience comes a certain way of thinking, all most a one track view whereas someone without experience has nothing to draw on and is often more likely to try something new if one thing isnt working instead of "stay the course!" Foreign Policy??? where was Clinton on Genocide during his term - Hotel Rwanda anyone? Should we be prepared for the possibility of war? Absolutely! but which is more important: putting provisions in place so that our kids have access to healthcare and education or fighting a war that neither side is winning?

Experience? She was married to the President?? I've been married to the manager of a tire store for 39 years and I couldn't change a tire if my life depended on it!!

I'm still leaning toward Clinton but one thing is certain, Obama certainly has scared the daylights out of the established powers. I like the idea of a candidate who worries the very people who have made the term 'healthcare' an oxymoron in the U.S. I enjoy the prospects of a candidate who furrows the brows of the ultra-wealthy and those who have made a game out of socio-economic prosperity. And I rather relish the idea that the masses might overcome the wishes of American dynastic politics. But I have to pause and ponder on Obama's ability to be more than a visionary. Make no mistake - the coming years will be very difficult for us. We can't afford to make rash military decisions - we can't wave a little flag and make all the bad stuff go away. Fact: Bush broke Iraq - now we have to fix it or suffer some very dire consequences down the road. Afghanistan can easily fall back to the Taliban. And what to do about Pakistan - the Sino-Triangle is still a very dangerous place. Need I mention a rising Russia, a mobilizing China, and an awakening Third World - these issues need experienced leadership. Is Obama up to the job? Really?
