I think this is bad for his image, if anything, because it defies the underscoring message of his campaign. You can't be a well-connected insider and overhaul corruption. Surely, if other Democrats felt threatened that they would lose their bonuses with his election, they wouldn't support him. Now I am not trying to sway anyone's vote because I believe everyone has a right to their opinion, but I like to keep the facts straight.

The terrorists will follow us right back. The Democrats are just panderers, they'll tell you what you want to hear. The truth is the Islamic Extremests want to KILL us. What part of this don't you understand. Oh yes, we should listen to them, NO they want to KILL us. Bush is and always has been right, the only way do deal with these people is on the offensive. The true enemy is Iran and until we deal with them we are in extreme danger. If you choose to be niave you are also being ignorant. Please consider.

THAT will NEVER CHANGE! John Kerry's support is about as relevent as that of Jimmy Carter. Both he and John Dean gave away the election by opening their mouths before their brains were in gear. Mr. Obama will have to win the nomination on more than looks, wardrobe and literacy. Both Bill and Hillary are ions ahead of him in political saavy but he does have David Axelrod as his "Image Manager". Over 75 million eligible voters did not even register in the 2000 Presidential election and George Bush won by 5 Electoral College votes. Ironically, had Gore won in Bill Clinton's home state of Arkansas with 6 Electoral College votes, Al Gore would be President today. Kerry only needed Indiana, Ohio and Nebraska (northern States) to win. You can't blame those Florida "chads" for those facts! No one in this election from either party is a Washington, Lincoln, FDR, JFK or Ronald Reagan. Yet the winner will face some of the most important issues ever to be faced by this Republic. Forget your race, forget your gender, forget your religion, sexual preferences and any multi-generational allegiance to a Donkey or an Elephant. Do your homework and get out and vote for the man or woman who you honestly believe will ensure that future generations have a life as good or better than the one you have been fortunate enough to enjoy. Don't let the tail wag the dog. Check the dog for fleas and ticks. Some ticks can kill you! Here is some material you should know or read up on, just to have the facts. Barack Obama was NOT sworn in on the Quran regardless of what Snopes supposedly says. The Antoin Rezko connection is NOT new as of "today". Rezko is a Syrian born Real Estate and Restaurant tycoon in Chicago with strong ties to Middle Eastern bankers. Before being indicted, Rezko liked to "collect politicians" from BOTH major parties as the NY Times story of June 14, 2007 says and he has allegedly made numerous contributions to Mr. Obama and others over the years. He also organized many fund raisers for Obama since 2000 although the Senator from Illinois denied it. News networks won't report that unless another politician brings it up first. Google their names and check out the NY Times story. If you are the persistent type you can also find excerpts of an interview of Mr. Obama by the "Windy City Times", a pro-Gay and Lesbian newspaper back in 2004. Based on that interview, I think it is safe to say that Mr. Obama supports Same Sex and Gay marriages, or at least did at the time of the interview. That should gain him much support in that community and calm the fears of those who wonder if he is really a Muslim. Those positions would make him an "Infidel" unless some imam has given him "special dispensation"! I was a life-long Democrat because my grandfather told me to be. Now I am an Independent because the future of this Country tells me to be. If other countries don't like us, it is not because of our policies; it is because of our success and freedom to select our leaders and vote our preferences, regardless of how dumb, corrupt or brilliant as some of them may have been. Don't give up that freedom to only one issue, be it color, sex or creed. Hold EVERY candidate responsible to you as their EMPLOYER by getting and staying informed. They ALL hate that but our future generations will love you for it! The people want CHANGE but the politicians want DOLLARS. THAT will NEVER CHANGE!

(purchase of a home for $300,000 below market value) Today is the first day it's been reported. Until now, we have not been presented with anything negative about the Senator from Illinois. I have to agree with President Clinton, it is obvious that the media has given Senator Obama a pass. I know it's easy to get caught up in the hype, but I believe the media is not objective at all when it comes to reporting on Senator Obama. I don't live in New Hampshire,but it sickened me that everyone was ready to "anoint" Senator Obama "King" of the United States. The people of New Hanpshire deserve a standing ovation for giving the country a reality check. Honestly, Senator Obama is a good person and perhaps if I didn't want Senator Clinton as the nominee I would vote for him, but the way so many people have been transformed into Obamanites is kinda scary. Obama supporters please remember this, we are voting for President of the United States not emperor. He is still just a man. Sorry to ruffle feathers, but Democrats we need to take a breath and clear the air. This is a Presidential election not a popularity contest. We must understand that after this primary is over we will have a Democrat vs. a Republican. Regardless of who the nominee is, I will support the Democrat. Thanks This is a good one from Percy Goode, Atlanta Georgia

I'm an independent and I really don't like Kerry; however he did get an "almost win" in 2004. Obama uses an establishment figure with Kerry while running anti-establishment campaign of "change". I just hope Kerry gives the millions of telephone numbers and contacts and get the hell out the way. This is the 1st time in a long time that a man with Obama's skills in bringing hard party-liners together on issues. I just hope that Americans can leave race out of this process, but knowing the Clintons, they won't let it. I am really on the fence with this one.

No matter who the candidate is. Obama has received some pretty serious support these past few days. I do think he is the best person for the job at this point. We need change so badly. On a different note, I really get so tired of hearing all of the griping on here. When did we become such a hateful, pessimistic, self serving, judgmental society? The comments on here are just plain hurtful and ignorant. Why can't we support people and appreciate them for what they have offered our country. None of these men are losers. Each has been elected in their own state and they have accomplished much on their own homefront. I don't think it serves us at all to comment on the accomplishments made these past several years. The bipartisanship in Washington is a very sad and damaging thing. We need someone who can work with all and not someone deemed as divisive. That's just one more reason why we need Obama. Hillary would do nothing to bridge the huge gap between the left and right.

IN addition, all of this talk about the Clinton's being racist is non-sense.; it has completely turned me off of Obama, even though I once had him in my sights. Look what the media can do...

I am not quite convinced that Obama is the candidate of choice. Though he is very articulate in speech and has something of a chrisma about him ; , however there is an uneasiness I feel when listening to his speeches. Unlike Hillary, she has proven herself to be consistent and sound in judgment. I feel that if Hillary fixes only one thing while in office (Health Care being my preference) it would be more than I feel Bush has done for this country during his eight year tenure. I am an African American woman and must admit I am excited that in this present day and age we have an African American presidential candidate . Unfortunately , through this excitement I feel a strong sense of disloyalty. I’m not convinced that Obama (though he talk a good game) will fulfill his promises.

Yes, the same machine credited for making Presidents of the United States since the Kennedy years. This machine has been grooming Barrack for this election from the beginning of his political life.

Not one Democratic candidiate has ever made it to the White House without coming to Chicago and kissing the ring of a Daley. And should Barrack make it to 1600 Pennsylvania you can bet your last dollar that payback will forever be the order of the day. So much for being the outsider and champion of the people. Voted 'Present' on more bills as a State Senator during his two terms than any other representative at that time. Why? So he would not have a voting record that anyone could criticize when the time came to to scrutinize what this man is all about. So much for principal and a person that's going to fight you and I.

And should Barrack make it to 1600 Pennsylvania you can bet your last dollar that payback will forever be the order of the day. So much for being the outsider and champion of the people.

Voted 'Present' on more bills as a State Senator during his two terms than any other representative at that time. Why? So he would not have a voting record that anyone could criticize when the time came to to scrutinize what this man is all about. So much for principal and a person that's going to fight you and I.

I could go on (and on) but you get the idea.......

I'd like to put something down about Hillary just for balance but that person has been under the microscope so long that there is nothing new to tell.

Do yourself a favor and ask the tough questions that a fearful media won't ask. You will be surprised at the answers you will find.

So much for 'American Idol' politics in the 21st century

And Al-Qaeda would happily hand over all of its loose nuclear material to the US. What is most concerning to me is that either (a) Obama actually believes this could happen, in which case he is delusional or (b) he knows it can't happen and is leading Americans into a false sense of hope anyway, in which case he is a wolf in sheep's clothing.

Kerry pretty much denied every disgusting charge of the Swift Boat Veterans for "Truth". If that seemed like obfuscation to you, then that must be because, as a Republican, you wanted some of it to be true. Ron Larson, how did Kerry "obfuscate" on the swift boat issue?

John Kerry lost the 2004 Presidential race and was a dismal failure as the Democractic party nominee. Many Democrats are still steaming mad at him for his concession of the Presidential race before all the votes and voting irregularities were resolved in Ohio. I don't see this helping Obama. Instead, I see it hurting him by associating himself with a loser that many Democrats don't care for, and the Republicans will eat Obama alive for it. They remind me a lot of one another . . . pie in the sky academics who basically have a lot of sizzle but not enough steak! They are empty suits that like to hear themselves talk. Looks like two losers to me. As a 47-year-old lifelong Democrat who reluctantly supported Kerry in 2004 out of duty to my party, I think this endorsement is a sad commentary on the Obama campaign.

Sen Hilary wanted the women to vote for her because she is a woman. Besides, the smear campaign on race began with Bill Clinton's bashing of the Character of Obama.

Obama has shown he is his "own" man, we can't quite say the same for Hill. So no, I meant he will have advice during the primaries and the general. Not he would be "ADVISED" as your comment suggests. Quit distoring and smearing. But, I have to be impressed, only Hillary can not only polarize other parties, but now it's women vs. men? Don't force independants to vote republican by pushing her on the country, If another republican gets back in because of Her, she would've single-handedly hurt them for generations to come by the next Rebublican selected supreme court nominee and ultimately R. vs. W.
