And, by the way, the media have it all wrong... they think women will support Hillary and blacks will support Obama. People are people first. And their support of a candidate will hinge on who represents their views the best. Obama's dream of a better America represents my beliefs better than Hillary's flawless campaign of supporting whatever the polls say. As a woman, I can't tell you how much I want a woman to win. But, I won't vote for Hillary in the primary. As a democrate, I will vote for her or Obama or Edwards in the general election.

The Clinton supporters all try to attack others using the word "shame" when their candidate is morally bankrupt. How ridiculous. Since when did Bill and Hillary become the moral beacons of America? Shame on them!

AMEN BROTHER.

Billary Clinton is morally bankrupt and her husband is nasty.

And Carol I can clearly see that you are for Hillary no matter what and I applaud your
freedom of choice and would be for a women as well if one of true character with a heart for the people would emerge. But Hillary's calculating and cold pursuit of power at all cost, does get in the way.

I believe that if Hillary was really about change she would drop out and vote for
Barack and Michelle and show the world that she really does care.

Actions speak louder than tears.

I look forward to your conversion, Carol.

The Republicans spent all of their time and our money looking to see what Bill was doing on his on time. They should have been trying to figure out what Osama Bin Laden was doing. They are responsible for 911 and the death of all of our finest by letting Bush win the White House over Gore.

Grow up. I'm sure your children saw much worse in their own household.

Clintons' campaign tactics, right out of Carl, Dick and George playbook, have been pretty shocking of late.
We're talking events of a week and Clintons have the audacity to feed recent, uh, days-old, hours-old events to the Revise-History, Scorch-Earth, Didn't-Inhale Machine? And who's coming to dinner? Bob who?

So, last week, during the NH primary campaign when they were feeling pretty desperate with the polls and everything (you with me so far - this is true, right? Happened? We all on the same page so far?), Bill appears at a campaign event and says Obama's story is a fairy tale. He can't make his wife taller, make her male, make her, well, Obama, Bill whines bitterly. Bill's very angry about this - can't you see? You're missing something here - read my lips, he whispers, "she's Female, come on!"

Then, shortly after Bill's remarks, Hillary herself says:
"Dr. King had been on the front lines. He had been leading a movement. But Dr. King understood, which is why he made it very clear, that there has to be a coming to terms of our country politically in order to make the changes that would last for generations beyond the iconic, extraordinary speeches that he gave. That's why he campaigned for Lyndon Johnson in 1964. That's why he was there when those great pieces of legislation were passed. Does he deserve the lion's share of the credit for moving our country and moving our political process? Yes, he does."

After Hillary basically says, "Hey Obama, don't give too much credit to what Dr. Martin Luther King dreamt of - all this hope stuff is false. Yeah, let's not have "false hopes." I mean, MLB had to get Lyndon B. Johnson to do the real work, remember? Unlike what you think, that white man was really the one who got all the work done for your civil rights movement stuff."
Senator Obama in the meanwhile, stays quiet. All in the meanwhile, with all these headlines going back and forth, regarding what I outlined above, Senator Obama says nada.

The news sort of talk about these remarks by the Clintons. Sort of. There are other headline news. Clinton comes first in NH, and some people think it's because she almost cried, and she makes a speech and says, "Okay, I'll try and cry more often folks, should've listened to you a bit more carefully - huh. THAT's what you wanted?"
Senator Obama still stays quiet. All in the meanwhile, with all these headlines going back and forth, regarding what I outlined above, Senator Obama says nada.

Then, uh uh, problems for the Clintons. Clyburn, the top ranking black politician, gets angry at the Clintons' remarks (and maybe he also got peeved at other vicious Clinton lies, e.g., Bill claiming he was against the war from the beginning when there's undisputed evidence of speeches he gave supporting Bush on Iraq war?). "You guys being racist here?" Clyburn wonders incredulously.
Senator Obama still stays quiet. All in the meanwhile, with all these headlines going back and forth, regarding what I outlined above, Senator Obama says nada.

So, the Clintons, who desperately need the black vote, then go on radio to Al Sharpton saying, "Hey, Obama is a great guy, he can win, no, no, no, he's no fairy tale."
Obama, in the meanwhile, still keeps quiet.

Hillary now goes on Meet the Press and says, "It's Obama's fault. He's been twisting my words, and oh my god, people, HE IS MAKING RACE AN ISSUE! AND I'M CRYING, SEE MY TEARS???"
So, Obama finally responds, "Uhm. You know, this is kinda fascinating to me. I mean, I didn't say a word? Did anyone hear me say anything about this?"
Nope, Senator. It's just the crazy Clintons again, and some crazy Americans believing the crap, as they do sometimes.

Sigh.

I think the facts really need to be set straight, loud and clear here about who's doing what, even with the headlines, since people seem so forgetful and easily confused.

words place in the wrong context make us forget that this is a couple we can

trust too look after our best interest. Obama will not be allow to be president by

the racist in America. If Obama is nominated racist America will go out in droves

to elect a Republican. Wake up America & smell the coffee.

Hillary said so, in trying to embrace what MLK did . She never belittled it at all.

She was trying to claim it takes a PRESIDENT (aka someone like her ) to actually make the change. After MLKs hard work, Johnson had the GUTS (it was also bobby kennedys hard work) She was suggesting some presidents resist change.

Hillary is running for PRESIDENT. Not the vacated MLK position. What is she supposed to say? MLK did everything and being president is a waste of time blah blah........how does that help her campaign ?

Obama people say SHE STARTED IT , when in fact , Clinton said nothing about Obama or anything in her speech. It was the OBAMA camps REACTION to it that has caused the flare up.

The obama people could have simply said nothing.

Next time, please do so. Stick with the issues instead of RIP APART anything one of your opponents say.

Oh yes, Senator Obama does seem to have been said (by the Clintons) to possess fine oratorical skills. Who would you rather have speaking for you?

Let's get on with the show!

I will not vote for her.

YOU MEDIA AND REPUBLICAN KNOW VERY WELL WAHT HILLARY AND BILL CLINTON SAID, WHEN YOU REPLAY THE CLIP JUST STOP BEFORE IT SHOW
THE REAL MINING OF THE SPECH
ALL YOU KNOW THAT OBAMA IS PLAYING THE RACE CARD FOR HIS ON BENEFIT AND ALL OF YOU WILL COME IN HIS WAY .BECAUSE YOU WANT NEXT REPUBLICAN PRESIDENT, THAT IS INCREAVABLE.

It is bad enough that my kids had to grow up with the sexual drama of the former
Clinton White House but now you want my grandchildren to experience the Clinton
sleaze.

It is time for America to experience the role model of a fine and happy first family.

Michelle, I look forward to you chasing the kids around the white house and
Barack introducing his children to foreign dignitaries as they get under foot.

The humanizing of the white house will be fun for us all.

God speed Barack Obama ! – America – help is on the way !!!

It is time we bury the so called race card and get a move on. Seems to me that we are Americans and should be concerned with America.

Stick with issues and stop this petty racist and gender references. Democrats need to stand united and Hillary is clear and substantive on issues.

When is Obama going to lay out his agenda and stop this petty rivalry? He claims to be someone who can unite the country. If so, start showing it. Do not use the race card to get SC votes.

As Obama and his wife, Michelle, strolled triumphantly into his victory party in Des Moines, Iowa, on Jan. 3, Jay-Z's "99 Problems" was blaring. In it, Jay raps, "I got 99 problems, but a B.... ain't one."

I watched Hillary's interview with Tim Russert who seem to want to skewer her with every question. If you truly opened your ears and mind, what she said made perfect sense:

She praised Dr. King for all of his tireless efforts for civil rights. Clearly she admired and respected him. She noted all of his efforts that came with jail time, gassing, and all the other horrors he went through to fight for what he believed in and what is only fair–fair and equal treatment for EVERY American.

What Hillary pointed out was that even Dr. King realized that politics was needed to make civil rights a reality. And, the Civil Rights Act was signed into law by President Johnson. I truly don't think she was trying to disrespect Dr. King and say the "victory" belonged to Johnson. It is a fact that he was the President who made Civil RIghts a reality. Now, if anyone would belittle Dr. King's important sacrifice and work for his fellow man, it would have been at that time by snubbing him at the signing of the Act. No one did. His accomplishments have been well documented as they should be and well respected. He was a remarkable, gifted and intelligent man who did great things for this country at great risk to himself and his family. He paid the ultimate price for what he believed in.

Hillary complimented Barack on this show. I think what people are failing to see is that talk is just talk. Yes, Barack is a talented and compassionate speaker, like Dr. King. But, Dr. King also acted. Hillary's question was "Has Barack acted on his words or is he just talking?"

This is a question that voters must ask of every candidate from each party. Which candidate has done things for the greater good? A lot of politician's talk a good talk but where's the action? It would be nice if we had someone as talented and committed and passionate as Dr. King (who could do both) running. I'm not sure that we do.

Let's look at the issues and let's force the candidates to stop their pot shots and negativity. This isn't a middle-school game. It's a debate as to who is the best candidate to become the leader of the free world. Who can do that and not just talk about it?

Yet, all the cool-aid drinkers are accusing the Obama camp of injecting racism into the race, all because Shillary said so. I'm disgusted to see how easily manipulated people are.

Obama's not forcing you to belittle the civil rights movement, Hillary… you're not his puppet. You said some absurd things, and your campaign has done some absurd things in the past few months. Your actions are not his fault. They are your fault."

I'm just curious which statements by Ms Clinton you refer to as absurd?

Was it that Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. was a great civil rights leader and an inspiration to her and our nation, or that President Lyndon Baines Johnson pushed through the legislation that became the Civil Rights Act? Neither statement diminishes the other in any way. Both statements are true.

I'm not sure where your preceived absurdity lies in her comments.

You also use the word "belittle"...where was that belittleing? Maybe you saw a different statement than I did, but I saw nothing more than a respectful statement of historical fact.

If I am wrong about this, can someone link me to the racially insensitive parts, we should all be able to evaluate these statements if they exist.

I agree with you about HIllary. I was going to vote for her but after these few weeks and the mess they pulled off in New Hampshire, I will not vote for her in she was running by herself. Her conduct and behavior are a disgrace!
