		<description>Robert Bell, I think you are on to something.  Maybe I&#039;m too cynical....nah!  I keep asking, &quot;Why is Rove helping Obama?  Why is Rove spanking Obama?&quot;  I think he wants Hillary to run too because she might be beaten by a Repub.  Notice the name nobody mentions, the person who could really put a big hurt on the Repubs.:  John Edwards.  He&#039;s smart, he fights for the little folks like me, he&#039;s a good person, he&#039;s truthful, transparent--I have looked him in the eyes twice talking with him one-on-one and I feel like I know him.  Edwards is real.  If he gets screwed it will be like another Al Gore crucification.  Dumb, dumb, dumb.</description>

		<description>The architect behind the most disastrous presidency in American history has something to say?   

After he says it, can we shoot him?

This man along with President Bush should be hanged by the neck until dead.  They are traitors.

		<description>Karl Rove is precisely what&#039;s WRONG with America.  He is THE agent of divisiveness, smut, dirt, and everything foul.  People who listen to and agree with him should be tired of harboring so much hate and evil in their hearts; which is what he does.  He always acts like the ANTI-CHRIST!</description>

		<description>The old style of politics. Obama doesn&#039;t look like Rove to me. Did the architect just proclaim himself as old? I would think so. Why is Rove still even breathing into papers or media. No lasting legacy that I can see. America despises him and the only good he ever did was inspire americans to realize that the old ways of government are just what they are. Old and corrupt. Were on a path for great change from the old and Rove could never build on that because thats one area he could not comprehend as a human being. Rove knows that he is as futile as his own death bed. Why he decided to take America down with him his beyond my comprehension. When is the last time Rove had lunch with Bush?</description>

		<description>&quot;Wake up Jon!!!!!! Cheating on your wife is a far cry from casuing a lot of innocent people to die!!!! No matter what, you will take up for Bush and what he&#039;s done. I guess you think Craig really does have a wide stance!!!!!!!! 

As for research………..I can see clearly as to where we are today in the US and where we were at when Clinton was President!&quot;

Wake up?? Oh, I see, you think the worst thing Clinton did was cheat on his wife. I think the worst thing he did was nothing, as in he did nothing. He rode an inflated economy driven by exagerated corporate earnings brought about by lax IRS &amp; SEC auditing and enforcement, not to mention a .com boom that went bust just BEFORE he left office. He was in office when the recession started, not Bush. He did nothing when we were attacked throughout the 90&#039;s by terrorists. He did nothing to stop the spread of a multinational terrorism organization. He did nothing when Sudan offered bin Laden on a platter. Hey, why doesn&#039;t someone seriously ask Sandy Berger exactly what top secret memos he stole from the national archives, bet it was something that would have made Billy boy look awefully bad. But you know what, I don&#039;t agree with everything Bush has done. I wish he would have just told the truth why we were going into Iraq. I wish he would have just admitted he wanted to get the SOB that tried to assinate his dad. I wish he would have just said he wanted to stabilize the region to protect our oil supplies. I wish he would have told all the environmentalists to jump of a windmill and just drilled in Alaska and along the coast, that way maybe we could extricate ourselves from the middle east. Please, don&#039;t lecture me about waking up and spare us all the ideological drivel. You think that if the world just liked us things would all be better. I don&#039;t really care if the world likes us or not. You show me a president that cares more about the American image abroad than national security, and I&#039;ll show you a president that is leading us further down the rabbit hole.</description>

		<description>Karl Rove should be embarassed to describe any of the current possible nominees as lazy. Afterall, he helped to elect the most mentally lazy, least accomplished, most despised (both in the U.S. and around the world), dumbest, most narrow-minded, self-righteous Presidents (and I use that term loosely) in the past 100 years. When you take into account that GWB also benefitted from Affirmative Action, Karl Rove really out-did himself. The only difference was that Georgy Boy received preferential treatment due to being from what&#039;s called the Good Old (Rich) White Boy Network. If anyone doesn&#039;t believe that statement and you come from an average income family and make average grades (like Georgy Boy), just try getting into Yale and see  how far you get. If that isn&#039;t a form of Affirmative Action I don&#039;t know what else it could be called. One more thing. Georgy Boy has shown on more than one occasion that he is against Affirmative Action.</description>

		<description>How many of these posts do you think are propaganda? How many &quot;insights&quot; from the every day guy, are convenient at knocking particular candidates in a venue that is not questioned? How powerful would it be to insert horribly inaccurate and &quot;below the belt&quot; comments in and subtly affect people&#039;s point of view? (Think of the movie Music Man: the town hall scene where he called out his needs, as if he were part of the townspeople). If I were Karl Rove, and bent on controlling people, this is how I would do it. Say something, anything, just to get people talking. Then, I would join in, anonomously, or say as EE, and say every implied fear or prejudice I could and slander the lot of them.  You hear the same lie enough times, and it becomes substantiated. 

Leave it alone, people. And think for yourselves. You cannot afford to have these people thinking for you anymore. We&#039;re too close to living in a very very unpleasant place.</description>

		<description>Rove is an intellectually lazy gas bag.Those around him try to play him
up  as some sort of  &quot;genius&quot;. And compared to some of those that were around
him in the White House,he was. But he is not a &quot;Genius&quot; at all.He&#039;s clever and
cunning at most. Often the White House people were in awe of Rove&#039;s reading.
And used that as some sort of example of his brilliance that he read books
on Philosophy,Politicial Theory and Leadership.If he really were  an
intellectual in any real way, he would  realize the world is full of people that don&#039;t 
live by the narrow and limited philosophy that he filters every decision through. 
His world to a major hit when  suddenly he was vulnerable in a way that he had to 
use a pragmatism and  Relativism  as part of the defense to hold back being 
questioned by Congress,  mainly because those ideas don&#039;t exist in the Karl Rove
philosophical decision filter. The Neo-Conesrvative people hate Pragmatism and
Relativism, yet ironicly they are very much Pragmatic and Relatavisitic. Black and White descisions come from them, but don&#039;t apply to them. And that is Karl Rove 
in a nutshell. He may be a prolific reader, but he doesn&#039;t &quot;get it&quot; that those works
may stand up on their own as relevant, and not just for use as a lesson to create a defense/offense of his own way of thinking.Apparently he hasn&#039;t learned a thing 
from all of  his reading..</description>

use a pragmatism and  Relativism  as part of the defense to hold back being<br />
questioned by Congress,  mainly because those ideas don't exist in the Karl Rove<br />
philosophical decision filter. The Neo-Conesrvative people hate Pragmatism and<br />
Relativism, yet ironicly they are very much Pragmatic and Relatavisitic. Black and White descisions come from them, but don't apply to them. And that is Karl Rove<br />
in a nutshell. He may be a prolific reader, but he doesn't "get it" that those works<br />
may stand up on their own as relevant, and not just for use as a lesson to create a defense/offense of his own way of thinking.Apparently he hasn't learned a thing<br />
from all of  his reading..</p>

		<description>Amazing how &quot;smart&quot; it was for Obama to talk with Rove in the first place... Hillary  must have been correct to accuse the other democrats from playing out of the Republican play book...[in early debate in 2007].</description>

		<description>Obama is so vastly superior to Clinton that it will take Bill Clinton, Hillary Clinton, Carl Rove, and Satan himself to stop him.  But we can&#039;t blame Rove for repeating Clinton&#039;s talking points, can we?

Don&#039;t think Obama has experience.? Look at his record yourself instead of listening to his OPPONENTS.

Don&#039;t think Obama has detailed brilliant solutions to every problem facing this nation? Go to his web site and read  and listen to what he has to say. 

If you listen to Satan (Rove, Clinton) are you likely to get the good information you need to make a good choice?</description>

		<description>Being a citizen of an undemocratic despotic state called Burma ruled by 
a tyrant, it is exciting and eye opening to see the dynamic of US primaries.
It must be great to be an American who can find out and filter a leader 
who understand the plight of the people, who will make the country prosper,
will deliver the real results and realistic changes for an average Joe&#039;s life.

However it is funny and sometimes annoying to observe that style and showmanship become more and more releavant in the warming up voting
exercises of the citizens of the world&#039;s greatest democracy. 

If I were an American, I would vote for Hillary as I (personally) think she has 
both substance and style, recently she showed her sincereity. Unfortunately, 
I am not an American citizen, and worse, I never voted in my life.  

I sincerely wished US citizens to enjoy fruits of freedom and democracy!</description>

		<description>White is Black.  That is what Rove says.  Everything he said was a total lie that can be PROVED to be false, yet so many people eat it up.  Anyone who agrees with Rove on this, especially Clinton supporters, defines ignorance. YOU are the reason that George Bush is our current president.</description>

		<description>This guy is slim and to use terms as &quot;lazy&quot; that are loaded and have been used in the past to describe black people in general. This election is getting heated and race is an underlining issue. Our subconsious minds says and use terms that we learn as children and stereotypes that are ingrainedin this culture.  We in this country have very short memories. 1964 was 44 years ago...not to long ago and that is when Black&#039;s were granted the right to vote. Seen as equal individuals in the eyes of the constitution. 44 years ago and that didn&#039;t end, segeration or any of these issues.

Carl Rove is a product of that generation.... and is a slim bag in general.. But trust this is the first of many &quot;loaded terms&quot; that will be used the by the Clinton&#039;s &amp; Republicans. This election will truly show us where we as a country are.

OBAMA &#039;08!</description>

		<description>Rove is smart, even if a mortal enemy, and he is right on about Obama being lazy and totally political - I am from IL, I met the guy a few years ago when his aim was the state house and I was not impressed.  An orator he is, a leader of the country he is not - I am a Demovrat who might vote Republican for the first time in 75 years if the candidate is Obama.  He should come back in 15 years and try again .. also I have watched the way he denigrates Hillary any time they are together in his disdainful looks - check it out - he looks at her as if she were some kind of intruder on King Obama territory ... disgusting!</description>

		<description>Relief....finally the spotlight is on verifying Obama&#039;s claims and YES,  his experience.  Why has he been so averse to &#039;experience&#039;?  To deflect from his own of course....he reminds me of houses built on stilts in the sand and surf.....very, very nice, but very weak, vulnerable, and short lived.

   His experiential foundation is sorely lacking.  89.4% of the time in the last quarter of 2007 he did not vote.....similar to his ducking his responsibilities in Illinois.  His arrogance, however, not his skill compels him to walk into the most important job in the US. 

Sorry Mr. Obama, there is Just too massive a gap  between  your promises and  performance!    No new promo for you....go back to the Senate and PERFORM please!</description>

		<description>This guy needs to see the light. We have to keep in mind that there are a lot of people who are envious of other people who are doing well for themselves... especially the ones that were not expected to do so well.  So they attack them for no reason just to make themselves feel better. This behavior is natural for some. 

Here is another thing he could have done to make himself feel better. Instead of attacking Obama, start congratulating.  Then once you have done that, then go attack someone who isn&#039;t doing so well.... cough* bUsH* cough*... Oh wait... I forgot... Bush is his friend.   :-(

		<description>For all of the criticizers that seems to have all of the answers concerning Obama,apparently he had something to offer as to why he&#039;s a threat to Billary. and the republicans.Everyone in the white house is lazy, act like school age children arguing back and forth when they can&#039;t have their way! Veto after Veto and for what to exercise  authority or to truly care about what&#039;s best for the citizen of America, because we are NOT UNITED! The world is divided between the haves and the have nots so if one person (Obama) can understand the struggles of the working poor, which you guys call the middle class  then give him a chance. For years this country has been ran by good and bad presidents and you gave them a chance. George Bush won twice! When you had the chance to dethrone him the American people chose not to. If you really want to know who voted for what in the Senate Look  at politics at it&#039;s best! Two many scandals in the past administrations, so why not hope for a better way, thats all a person has is hope that one day everyone will get the same breaks in life and can work and not worry about the basic needs to survive . The whole system needs to be changed!</description>

		<description>I&#039;m certainly not a fan of Rove&#039;s, but the Dems are making a huge mistake in dismissing him.  GWB is the most unelectable candidate I&#039;ve ever seen, and yet Rove managed to get him elected twice.  

And I agree with Enuf Is Enuf - Rove wants Obama as the Dem candidate because he will be so easy to destroy in the general election.</description>

		<description>TO: GINA CORDAY

If you&#039;re going to post something at the VERY LEAST get your facts straight!!! The name of the person whod used the Koran was Keith Ellison (D-MN) not Senator Obama who was already a member of Congress!!!

<p>If you're going to post something at the VERY LEAST get your facts straight!!! The name of the person whod used the Koran was Keith Ellison (D-MN) not Senator Obama who was already a member of Congress!!!</p>

With Obama a strong candidate to become the Dem party&#039;s nominee, the GOP is looking at any &amp; all ways to (try to) improve their eventual candidate&#039;s chances at winning an election.  Only chance they have is if Billary get&#039;s the nod...</description>

		<description>What? It&#039;s Karl Rove. Why should anyone care what he has to say. He&#039;s affraid of the change that&#039;s coming to this country. The republicans have helped kill the American dream for many of its citizens, they have stolen enough from us. Let the party of and for the people begin to fix what the republicans and their foolish supporters destroyed.

One more thing. The word Liberal is not a bad word. It shows that you have an open mind unlike some of our republican friends. Perhaps the &quot;conservatives&quot; will  elect someone like Mike Huckabee or a Ron Paul instead of the same Good Ole Boys.</description>

		<description>Keith Olbermann got it right. Those remarks were as close as you can get to racism without coming right out and saying it.

Rove is a slimeball and needs to crawl back under his rock.</description>

		<description>I dislike Rove, I REALLY dislike Rove, but what he said about Obama I recently heard said at a round table on PBS (not exactly a bastion of partisanship).

To my great surprise because I thought the was Mr. Popularity in the senate, they were saying that Obama was considered by his colleagues to be lazy, ill prepared and a tad arrogant. They cited various instances where he just coasted through committee meetings and was not prepared. One example given was that even though he has headed the Subcommittee on European Foreign Relations for quite a while now, he hasn&#039;t as of yet had one hearing. They opined that it was not smart to ignore Europe and NATO.

So, as much as I hate to agree on anything with Rove, it appears that at least on matter he is correct.</description>

The way he conivingly orchestrated Bush&#039;s lie into the white house he should be in an orange suit behind bars right now.   Who cares what he has to say about Obama, it just reveals his redneck bigotry.</description>

		<description>Rove = Abu Gharib, Waterboarding, Foley, Ney, Cunningham, Ken Lay, The Iraq War, Rigged Elections, Lies, plunging world opinion of the U.S., and Bush at a public approval rating similar to Rove&#039;s original mentor Richard Nixon around August of 1974. How can we miss you if you won&#039;t go AWAY ?</description>

His brain got our wonderful country in the mess we&#039;re in:  war, economy is crappy, oil is high!!!

Why would people even print what he says???  Who cares???

Newspaper and news networks need to not print anything Rove comes up with.

He&#039;s disgusting.</description>

		<description>All you libs out there, LISTEN to Karl Rove! He knows what he is talking about. Just because he helped President Bush defeat your dullard (Gore) and your snob (Kerry), don&#039;t close your ears to his wisdom and skill. He is the smartest political operator in history, and if he hadn&#039;t been there for Bush in 2004 Lord only knows sort of moon-bat, nut-roll liberals Kerry would have put on the Supreme Court</description>

		<description>I disagree with a number of posts. Rove WANTS Obama, not Hillary. He is not bashing him but trying to get him focused on beating Hillary. Why? Because Obama wouldn&#039;t stand a chance in the NATIONAL election. As eloquent and fresh as he is, he&#039;s all talk, and his positions are all too liberal that he&#039;ll be wiped out. Rove&#039;s a smart political op and knows this.

WHY Republicans want Hillary ,and think they&#039;ll destroy her is beyond me. They have money and they have dirt that hasn&#039;t started to come out yet. I don&#039;t care how much of a witch (sic) she is, the Clintonistas are already counting electoral votes and are figuring out which states from 2004 they need to flip to Duhmocratic. They&#039;ve been planning this for 8 years or more. It won&#039;t take but a couple of small ones, ie. Arkansas for starters. This IS the Clinton politcial machine, remember. Why even take the CHANCE that those two despicable people get back in the WH? As wonderful it would be to see her crash and burn in the general election, knock her out now with a lightweight like Obama, or risk a 50/50 chance of her actually winning. All it would take is one misstep by the Rep candidate and Hillary&#039;s in. If that doesn&#039;t give you the shivers, I don&#039;t know what else will ....</description>

		<description>Wow, talk about &quot;shooting the messenger&quot;!

Is there anything that Karl Rove said about Obama that isn&#039;t true?

Calling Rove &quot;fat,&quot; a &quot;criminal,&quot; a &quot;Nazi&quot; or whatever doesn&#039;t change the fact that Obama is indeed &quot;lazy&quot; and &quot;given to misstatements and exaggerations.&quot;

I&#039;m from Illinois.  Frankly, I feel I was misled into voting for Obama to be my Senator considering that he has done NOTHING for my state (let alone the nation) in his mere 3 years in the Senate.  

He spent his first 2 years in the Senate signing books, travelling to Africa, and attending political fundraisers, and is now spending his second 2 years running for President.  

Those who voted for him deserved better, and I can say this much, I won&#039;t be fooled into voting for him again.</description>

		<description>Rove is sharp.  The man in tossing fuel is trying to add the democratic chaos. His statement will energize Obama supporters.  His comments may throw Hillarea the Socialist off her game.

He is not trying to find a job. The man knows that Billy hates him and would never let him in a Hillarea administration.  Rove and others are just getting ready to pile on the democratic nominee in a few months.

It will be beautiful.</description>

Obama is excellent campaigner and politician (MacCain, 2008). All thes comments from Republican candidates tell who Senator Obama is. Obama you are the best. Please do not mind Karl Roves.</description>

		<description>As many have pointed out, Rove has no credibility on this...or much of anything for that matter. The Republicans are scared of Obama, as they have no one to counter his message or his ability to bring people together. While I will happily support either Clinton or Obama in the general, the Republicans have been chomping on the bit to take on Hillary, hence his &quot;need&quot; to offer up his appraisal. Please Mr. Rove, crawl back in your hole...</description>

		<description>It seems to me Karl Roves does not have standards at all. Why is it that some people are shameless? He has virtually worked for all candidates (both democrats and republicans). Is he a politcal labourer???</description>
