There is a saying: Capitalism teaches you to work hard, milk the cow to the last drop of milk....etc..... Communism takes the cow by nationalising it....socialism kills the cow and all share it equally and nothing is left for tomorrow.

America has seen plenty of capitalism, China and former East European has seen plenty of communism and africa has seen plenty of socialism.

Where was America, and where it is today with too much of capitalism and ignoring human role in growth?

Where China is today after adopting capitalism with controlled economy and iron hand still visible in all human endeavours of China?

Where Africa is today with all the resources but foreigners from Europe, Australia, Canada and India reaping all the benefits and leaving crums for the locals?

Ask Obamas, Clintons, Edwards, and McCain and Romney: What model they will use or refine to meet the aspirations of working class, hard working citizens (low income, middle income and high income) with fair reward for all who work and strive to improve their lot and what penalties they will impose on Lazy, criminal minds, instead of promising doles and making these dependents forever on them and others – parasites. We are human beings and not parasites. Don't promise us free/cheaper food, health care etc...Give us blueprint of creating equal opportunities for all to earn decent living. Reward for hard work and not based on race, income and laziness.....

Create wealth and don't talk about taking away from deserving.

I have nothing against Hillary Clinton, except that she has a horrible record on illegal immigration. Vote for Hillary and you will have an unbelievable amount of people who will come into our country and get everything free, free medical care, free drivers licenses, add to our welfare rolls, and get jobs from employers without being able to speak english, and pay taxes. Bill Clinton is responsible for sending american jobs overseas. That was the NAFTA trade bill he passed. There are no products made in america except for cars. Everything comes from a foreign country . China owns us.

A vote for Hillary is a vote for another 8 years of corrupt Republicans. Is that what you want after a disastrous 8 years of George W. Bush.

Vote for OBAMA/Edwards.

Obama's plan for healthcare in this country does NOT cover everyone! Hillary Clinton's plan DOES. Look at the facts: Obama says he will work with insurance companies to ask them to make insurance more affordable (good luck in that), AND he says that once insurance is "affordable" (whatever that means), that everyone will just go out and buy it - even young twenty year olds with low paying jobs! Yeah, right. Last time I checked, most young people thought they were "indestructable", and would rather go out and buy a new flat screen TV, instead of buying health insurance. Obama shows a real lack of understanding of human nature, when he says that young people will all rush out and buy insurance, all on their own! The reality is that everyone needs insurance - because we ALL have to pay for the irresponsible people who refuse to buy their own insurance, once those people get sick (the hospitals raise OUR costs to cover those uninsured people.) People need to pay their fair share. Obama doesn't understand this basic principle - scary! That's why he needs more experience, and time to study issues, before he could even think about becoming president. I've noticed that many people, especially young people who support Obama, have NO IDEA of his specific proposals - they are just emotionally swept away by his grandiose "bible revival" style speeches. We need more than just public speaking skills in our next president - we need someone who thoroughly studies problems, pays attention, and develops solutions to our country's complicated issues. We don't need someone who watches a football game in the middle of a national debate (Obama admitted to this during the debate in NH last week.)

There's really nothing offensive about the use of "'Si Se Puede" slogan by the Obama campaign..it's just a slogan and I kinda like it. As a minority, his message of change brings a breath of fresh air and his stand on issues are not dissimilar to that of Hillary Clinton's. Go Obama....'Kia Ora'

As a Hispanic, I find it VERY OFFENSIVE that the Obama campagin has chosen to use the slogan "Yes We Can". This is the same slogan that the United Farm Workers used, "Si Se Puede". He is just pandering to the Hispanic vote. Obama has never done anything for Hispanics (or any other minorities for that matter). Well, I can tell you this much, Hillary Clinton leads by wide margins with Hispanics. I also am under the impression that Dolores Huerta (belongs to United Farm Workers) herself has endorsed Hillary.

Edwards is the only Candidate in this race that will help labor!!!

Obama is clearly anti-LABOR!!!!!

Clinton is a joke in the area of Labor!!!!

Edwards want to help this country and will have labor at the table in Washington!!

The only problem with this endorsement is that Obama is anti – Labor and will do anything for endorsements and you seen what happened in New Hampshire!!!

Mr. Obama do the right thing and Drop out of the race for president so we can have a real candidate for change in this country in John Edwards!!!

Thanks you!!!!

We all need to support change in this countr we are all in it together regardless .......
However, please think of what Hillary is proposing if people vote for her:

Clinton, Bush, Bush,Clinton.

Eventually her daugther will follow ......... if she and Bill believe in change, they will change the way they attack not only Senator Obama but everyone who oposes including those in her own campaign who she threatens to fire as soon as things do not go her way. If she believe in change, she and Bill would step out of the way and let change take its curse. What does she mean "by going back? " Does she mean that electing an AFrican American Senator as President _ is going back?
I am glad her true colors are showing. as a woman I can tell you she staged her tears and that touched some women but most of us, me at least, do not buy that.

I also point out, just listen to Senator's Obama responses every single time, even his demeanor to EVERYONE alike (Senators, people who are against him, protestors, Hillary, regular citizens, us, etc..) : Respectful, acknowledging, inclusive, sincere and honest. WHen you hear him talk, you feel the very honest voice of someone who believes change relies not on him but on people together, coming to term and agreeing to disagree and find compromise.

Clinto wants power, this is why is so personal. What has she done in 35 years,? how long has she been in the Senate?
I have voted Democrat before, however, like many women and other voters in general if she is chosen I will be more than happy to give my vote to a Republican.

I do not think Hillary can run this country. I am afraid if something major happens again she will sit in a corner and cry. We need a president that can make changes, but also one that can fight for this country's safety. Go Obama, we need you. Say NO NO NO to Hillary.
She is not a leader.

When I read the misogynist slogan "Anyone but Clinton" I was not surprised just a little dismayed.

Women out there unit against negative thinking in America against women.

When you read the misogonist slogan "Anyone but Women" you should feel repulsed; mostly because it is a thought that could have come from your husband, your son, your brother etc.

These women-haters can not get over the fact that women brought them into this world and that we can take them out. (smile)

I support Hillary R Clinton not because she is a women, I support her because she is intelligent, forthright, prepared and ready to take on the position of President.

Like most women in executive positions, we studied harder, worked longer and know our subject matter well. We have done that because we have had to constantly prove outselves to the power that were.

Hillary is so ready to be President, it is her time. She was born to President, let us help her fulfill her destiny!

Hillary will prevail-her positive message of experience producing change will come through-I think that was the difference in New Hampshire. In the Saturday debate, she made it clear that she has a 35 year history of fighting for change.
I also echo the warnings made by some others to youth-your country's well-being is at stake here-one day you will try to buy a home, raise a family and want your country to be strong in the face of threats to security. CHOOSE EXPERIENCE COMBINED WITH NOBLE IDEALS RATHER THAN RHETORIC. VOTE FOR HILLARY.
Gradually, the contrast she brings in comparison to Obama and Edwards will tell the tale.

The USA need a honest person as president, to repair the international dammage done by Bush.

Most People all over the world, have lost the trust on America!

In the last years anti Americanism came very popular here in Europe and the rest of the world.

Since Obama became popular most people hope that he will win
Because he would be a president, in who we in Europe would belive and than we could beginn again to trust in your Nation America.

Not only because he is honest and good person the view of most people but also because we would see that the American population is ready to make a real change with Obama.

If Obama would win the election, America will get many lost friends back (me included ) and get also new friends all over the world.

ONLY Obama can do that!!!

Americans!!! Please vote for Obama and get the admiration from all over the world!!!

It's about time we wake up and smell the coffee, folks.

Read my lips folks: America is not really for a first generation African to become president and she is certainy not for a woman to be president. I think she would choose the first female white president then a first generation african.

Before I am accused of being a racist I am black as they come. If I were a democrat, I would give my vote to Mrs. Rodman Clinton.

Being the conservative as I am, I vote goes to Huckabee.

Oh my God, I cannot believe what I am reading! An Obama supporter (below) is writing that Hillary dislikes black people? And you are saying that Oprah has done more for this country than HIllary? Excuse me? A famous talk show host? There is not doubt that Oprah's show is successful – but she is in the entertainment business and those people are very insulated from the real world on many levels. Oh, I think you'd better think twice. It is very unprofessional, inaccurate and entirely too revealing about the kind of supporters Obama is receiving.

I was shocked to read that! Look at Oprah? You mean, she's going to give me a present – a car? The most gas guzzling thing on the planet? Oh, and is she going to give me a really nice dress and tell me that I'm beautiful too? Ms. Oprah Winfrey gives away cars!!! She gossips about Tom Cruise who is in love! She is a business woman interested in her business!

She's not a bad person. She's got her noble agenda – but just because she opened a school in Africa and she gives way refrigerators and cars does not make her an authority!

I'm glad to see some media is raising questions about obamas plans, experience etc... We have not heard much from his campaign other than lets change things, but he never tells you what those changes are?? Yes it great he got young voters out in IOWA, but more voters are older with serious concerns on how to pay a mortgage, health care, gas etc...Obama tells you nothing other than we can change things. I believe that Hillary Clinton has the power and backing to get change done immediately and she will because the stakes are higher for woman in politics than men, even black men. Look at the difference in media coverage. Yes, obama he can give a beautiful inspirational at times speech, but that’s not going to help with foreign policy or our economy. Obama mandates that ONLY children will be covered under his health care plan, but what he doesn’t tell you is how a parent would be forced to pay for it, by cutting their food bill or gas bill? Black Americans need to really think this through and not get caught up in a media drive to elect a black man based on color of his skin only, but a Person who has a plan of action, which we have not seen from obama and is why he lost NH. Experienced voters have been asking for substance since the Oprah show turned his campaign attention to a race on race, which was a big mistake for us. I’m a black woman with young children and I have firmly decided to support Clinton; she has proven that she can get things done. I cannot in good conscience support obama just because he is black, it’s my children’s welfare and future, which as a mother is more important than an inspirational speech. These are the reasons our country faces allot of the troubles it has today. Obama may be a great president in few years. With the current state of affairs in other countries, I fear he isn’t ready and I personally DO NOT want to wait 4/8 yrs for him to leave the position like we have been doing with bush/chaney.
As a black woman I was torn between the two and again decided on Clinton. I honestly believe that she is the better fit for our great country right now. Maybe obama in a few years. I hope and pray that ALL voters will look past color and gender and see what’s really important. Ignore the media, who should be ashamed by putting every black news anchor on TV exploiting race. We do not want obama pushed down out throats. They should be reporting facts so educated voters can make a wise decision. Thank you

The backing of a Union is great and all, but the union memebers don't have to follow the endorsement, so that being said, those of us for Obama need to go out and vote for him.

Hillary is doing politics as usual, and we need politics in this country to change. I get the impression that Obama wants to be President because he knows he can change our political structure and do away with partiasan and other things that divide out country. I'm tried of hating republicians, I hope other Libs and Dems feel the same way and I hope republicians are tired of hating us too. I don't want a red america or a blue america, I want America to be red, white, and blue.

This is basically what Obama told me when I first saw him at the 2004 DNC.

by the way aren't you guys tired of hiring the same names, aren't you guys tired of these political families. A democracy should have different officals as often as possible.

Pre-Iowa polls had Clinton leading by huge margins in NV. The situation now is unclear as the race hasn't been pooled for a while, but, after NH, Hillary certainly has the momentum, regardless of any union endorsements Obama may pick. Also, do not assume the African-American vote will flock to Obama in SC. African-American women, especially single mothers, are Hillary's constituency and the Clintons also have a deep connection with the African-American community in the South. Obama's rainbow rhethoric may work with the rich white kid crowd at Dartmouth College, but African-Americans in the South, especially low-income women, are concerned with real issues like health care, child care, public education and good-paying jobs. They trust the Clintons because they delivered on these issues in the past. Finally, looking ahead, irrespective of the results in NV and SC, Hillary is still the favorite to win in the big delegate-rich states like FL, NY and CA,

All Obama goers,

Is it not funny that he lost New Hampshire and his campaign manager and other surrogates already claiming Racism? Why are they bringing racism in the equation when in IOWA (96% whites) he won?

Also, there are about 5-7% african americans in New Hampshire where he received 36% votes – meaning – whites voted for him. Even polls predicted that he would be at 37% – well, he is at 36%. So, why is that this self proclaimed "JFK and Martin Luther King" who claims he is a "uniter and divider" dividing the country by bringing racism in the equation. Bottomline – Is it that by bringing racism issue in New Hampshire primary he and his agents are calling all those non african voters in New Hampshire are RACIST?

Just some food for thoughts.

I hope the unions can put pressure on him to let go of his run for the sake of us all. I think he is a good guy but he is not cutting the mustard he is just blocking thing for Obama and it really might get the person in power that he most does not want to get them.

In my opinion, Hillary will not make it. She will come close, but just by the virtue of people, whom at one point, we not interested in politics, all of a sudden are rising to the occassion. Why? A few things,,
1. I am an average joe who, like many, in my 20's were not concerned about domestic and international interests. I was more concerned about what I was going to do Friday night, what outfit to where, and where the hot guys were. Now that I am 42, married and have a son, my life is different. However, the young people have become more involved. Why? 9/11 for one. It was a wake up call and everyone is paying attention. What happens overseas directly affects us. It always did, but terrorism fell on us. Threats, high gas prices, lead poisoning of toys, cost of a gallon of milk-it all matters now. Bush has done more harm than good. Oil companies are profiting big time while we struggle..that shouldnt happen.
2. But for Obama and Edwards, many of the candidates, including Hillary are of the old cloth. I think the new trend is, we dont want a President that owes handouts for their backing like oil companies, pharmaceuticals, health care HMO companies, etc. Remember Haliburton? All the outsourcing Bush wanted to do with much of the government all went to the big boy companies and federal workers got pinched and sent packing. I think the American public wants someone not so tainted. Unions are what America is partly about. Its uniting for the rights of the American workers. Bush is a union buster. Where are all the companies now? CHina, Mexico, India. When was the last time you called a tech support for your computer and talked to an American? You were talking to someone in India. That was a Clinton push. I want American companies back in AMerica. I want to feel safer about the oversight of products we consume and use.

Thats how I feel the trend is right now. Unfortunately, I dont think Edwards has the pull that Obama has which is why unions are throwing it to Obama. The race is between Billary and Obama. I think AMericans know this and are making the democratic decision based on these 2 candidates.

Can qualified statistians help me confrim my obeservatiob upon reading all the comments on this forum?. It would appear there is one candidate, between HRC and Obama, who is getting the support of very intelligent comments, presumably from intelligent people. The voting pattern in NH also showed the same trend, as this candidate got the most votes from the 'educated' people, not necessarily from everyone.

Sometimes it is difficult to understand when a very intelligent person speaks. You may need help from other people in order to understand. It was the same case when Jesus was on this planet. That is why we get questions as " what does he/she mean, what change?" . They look and do not see. They hear but do not listen. Vote wisely you Americans.

I hear a lot of people saying that Obama is just a bunch of inspirational speeches and basically nothing else. He has no meat to his campaign, but I really disagree with that. When I watch Obama in debates, and when I read up on his posistions on his website, and even in some of his lesser known speeches (not the inspirational ones but the informative ones) to me he is a lot more specific on what he wants to achieve and HOW he wants to achieve it than the other candidates. If you do not think that Obama has any meat to his poetry than you have not been watching him or following him closely enough. I think Hilary also has been forthcoming with what she wants to achieve, but I still think she likes to avoid certain issues like the Iraq war for one and I don't get that vibe from Obama. He's not trying to avoid, he's trying to answer, but America has to listen.

"Most americans that can remember the Clinton era would do anything to have it back. " – Edd, Ellenville, New York

"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." – Rod

"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?" – James B.

"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." – Citizen

...you know, I'm not gonna disagree with you
the Clintonian Years were a great era
President BILL Clinton did alot of good work with the time he had
Which is why I have to ask this:

A.) What, exactly, did Hillary Clinton truly accomplished on her own with her time spent as First Lady? (it certainly wasn't healthcare)

and B.) What exactly has Hillary Clinton accomplished as a 2-term Senator of New York that would actually allow her to advertise herself as more experienced than Barack Obama, himself a 2-term senator at the state AND federal level.

If you can't come up with an answer for that, mayber you need to consider the notion that the President of this nation, if we as a nation are truly interested in pursuing PEACE AS CHANGE, should consider the one candidate who has been the most progressive in their history of service AND they rate they have acheived it by.

And, for goodness sake, leave Bill Clinton out of this. He is not a candidate for 2008, therefore he is not someone we need to be worrying about. It's time to focus on the success of the future (and not the past), by focusing on the success of the candidate who has been the most progressive TODAY

the hillary clinton myth of "experience" only goes to demonstrate how the clintons represent the past and obama's "inexperience" the future. yes, she has been in the limelight much longer than Obama has, so most people are under the impression that she is actually "experienced", when obama has held elected office longer than she has. judge them by their merits. i would go for obama's solid progressive record any day over Clinton's record which includes voting for war in Iraq and the Klyl-Lieberman act, a precursor for war with Iran.

Despite aslide short in NH primary, I still believe that Barack Obama will prevail in the end for the Democratic Nomination. I believe Barack Obama is a man of integrity and discipline. Millions of Americans will come to know him in the days ahead right before the Super Tuesday/Feb.5th,2008. By the way, I am a republican,but I believe in this man.

I don't see how everyone says that you have to have experience. Look what experience has done for this country thus far. Corruption, Wars, Debt, and the list goes on. The golden ere of Clinton.. I think people are forgetting that Bill is not running for president. This is Hilary. And if ANYONE believes that she is like her husband they are coocoo for coco puffs. Hilary is too much or her own person and probably too bull headed to listen to good advice..

Those tears were probably her feeling sorry for herself because it was hurting her ego that she lost Iowa. Everyone knows that the Clinton's have big ego's.. BTW, when the job gets tough in the white house is she going to start crying to get other countries to feel sorry for her.. I know it works for getting out of a speed ticket, but I didn't think it worked for gathering votes.

I worked with a few guys who did security details for Bill when he was president. They met hilary and she is the Biggets witch.. Unless a TV camera is in front of her. Does anyone remember who NH voted for in 1992. Wasn't it Paul Tsongas.. What the hell does NH know anyway?

Charlie…..I think Independents are really emotional voters. That's why nobody can predict accurately what they do. They really aren't centered folks. ************************************ Ann, As an Independent, I am offended by your comment that we 'aren't centered folks.' How does being Independent make me not centered? Because I actually know who I am and what I want? Because I have a brain and I use it to research the issues and make my own decisions? Because I don't let myself join the Cattle Call that supports their party no matter what? Independents tend to be THINKING voters, not 'emotional' voters. We vote for who we think is the best candidate for ourselves and for our country. We do not agree with every position that either the Democrats or the Republicans hold. For instance, I consider myself more Democratic, but I am an NRA supporter, and a supporter of enforcing our illegal immigration laws. I am pro-choice but anti-death penalty; pro-Homeland Security but anti-Iraq war. Some people have told me I have 'strange politics' but I don't think I 'have' politics at all - I have a brain and a heart, and I choose to follow them because they are who I am, and I am an intelligent, educated woman, as are a lot of Independents! Maybe you should think about that next time you go to blindly vote for your party's candidate. Make up your own minds, people!

I was a registerd Domcrat until B Clinton behavior in white House. I was disgusted with poltics and their co-harts. Thanks to Obama , I feel different now.
Let us give him a chance, we tried all sorts of professional politicians.

I will go along with that WHO ARE YOU FOOLING. John Edwards will be in this race till these next states votes then he will get out and go with Obama instead of Hillary.
If you want more of Bush then vote for Hillery. If you want change vote for Obama.
I wouldnt say all the things about Oprah. She has most famous for the right reasons because people love her.
Most people on this blog probably do not know much about these unions who are supporting Obama. These Union have alot of pull. They will come out and vote too. Some of these people on here rattle away and dont know what they are talking about.
Go Obama who will be our next President period.

Since when did passing a bill to keep our troops safe in Iraq so WE CAN bring them home when Barack is elected become a bad thing?

Did Hillary vote against passing a bill to keep our troops out of harms way? If so, why the hell would a democrat vote for her?

I'm impressed with the level of interest and excitement concerning this election. After eight years of Republican control of all branches we have seen a very small number do very well while a majority are worse off. If it wasn't so serious I would laugh without hesitation at the Republican candidates embracing the slogan of "change". Their general policy positions are right out of the Bush 2000 playbook. My point is this; compared to the Republican field, Hillary and Obama both embody change. Their agendas and priorities are very similar (especially when compared to the GOP's plans for us) . The issues that are most important, health care, the environment, energy policy and jobs, have reached a point of critical mass and I believe both Hillary or Obama will do well to effectively deal with them. Hillary in fact has more experience. But if Obama is the nominee I will readily vote for him. I hope the same can be said for the majority of Obama supporters. I had too many friends who insisted it didn't matter who won in 2000 that Democrats and Republicans were all the same. Whom ever wins the Democratic nomination, I urge everyone to vote for that person. The stakes are far too high.

Freak, Jack and Randy is the same person posting everyone.

Even President Bush could tell you're the same person. Try to alter your fractured paragraphs and time you post to make it a little bit different, Dummy. Obama doesnt offer universal health care by the way stupid. He is offering access to affordable health care, not madatory. Big difference. Universal Health Care MAKES you get health care. Well, reality check, you ARE NOT going to make ME pay for something I CANNOT AFFORD! Affordable health care is something I might take into consideration if it is affordable to me. This isnt Venezueala or Cuba, you cannot dictate to me! This is America!

P.S. Those 12,000 companies operate in the Cayman Islands to AVOID paying US Taxes which HURT America, not help it. Also, Barack has no power to stop that company in Illinois if Congress remains divided. A reason not to vote for Hillary. Please I already dont like Hillary, dont make it worse!

Seems to me like Hillary supporters will go to whatever lenght, including lying to bring in voters.

If Obama is NIOT the nominee, Im voting for McMcain, the 2nd Agent of Change behind Barack.

If you go to Obama's website and click on the "issues" button a glorious thing happens that will stun the people who claim he has no stance on anything and no plan about anything...
You can download a very detailed planbook for exactly what he proposes to do as President. Don't be lazy, folks. And until you read it... SHUT... UP.

This has just started; Hillary won NH because she put up a show and had to cry to make people feel sorry for her. She cannot sleep because Obama is her nightmare. AMERICA, she is just one more that wants to be in the power and her goal is to be the first woman to be president, she does not care for nothing else. Obama is AMERICA'S HOPE.

SENATOR OBAMA IS ASKING FOR CHANGE I THINK HE MEANT TO CHANGE TO PUT A BLACK PRESIDENT IN THE WHITE HOUSE AND MAKING A HISTORY ON HIS OWN . CHANGE IS GOOD IF HE CAN SOLVE ALL THE PROBLEMS IN ONE YEAR , BUT SINCE HE IS VERY NEW IN POLITICS WHAT ONLY A YEAR OR TWO AS A SENATOR , I DON'T THINK HE CAN HANDLE THE BIG PROBLEMS FACING IN FRONT OF HIM WHEN HE BECOME PRESIDENT.

I CAN VOTE ONLY ONCE A YEAR IN PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION AND I'M NOT GOING TO WASTE OR GAMBLE MY VOTE FOR SOMEONE WHO IS NOT CAPABLE AND LACK OF EXPERIENCE AS A COMMANDER IN – CHIEF IN THE MOST POWERFUL COUNTRY IN THE WORLD. THIS IS THE MOST IMPORTANT ELECTION AND THE COUNTRY IS FACING A RECESSION AND LOOKING BACK DURING THE 90'S IS NOT TOO BAD AT ALL TO GO BACK WHEN THE ECONOMY IS VERY STRONG UNDER THE CLINTON ADMINISTRATION . THINK ABOUT IT FOLKS . JOB IS IMPORTANT AND WE CAN'T HAVE JOBS IN THIS COUNTRY IF THE ECONOMY IS WEAK AND OUR NEW PRESIDENT HAS VERY LITTLE EXPERIENCE ON HIS POLITICAL CAREER. .
