I want you to actually think about how many times did you get the opportunity to think for yourself in the military. The military gives you blinders, you follow pace with the people around you. It is great that you served, but it in no way trumps anyone elses opinion, if that is what you think then I argue that your service is unneeded because people serve the military to protect the rights that this country gives, such as the right for free speech. Military service does not give your opinion higher precedent. Hey Truth hurts,

It's unfortunate because so many people are misled. Ca native, I am sorry, but the polls aren't showing most African Americans are supporting Obama, actually, the polls show that they are supporting Hillary, mostly because of celebrities and past civil rights leaders who are endorsing Hillarya nd spitting the same crap about experience. I am just wondering how does being married to a President give you experience? My husband is a partner in a law firm, does that mean I can go and try a case in front of a judge and jury now? I am just kidding, but maybe not, I would love to make some extra money since I don't have to go to school and I can just gain experience through osmosis. Hmmmm...what a concept. Just like G. W. Bush gained expereince through his father. Hell, let's not even hold elections, or have colleges / training programs, let's just give everyone credit for their family member's work. That would really help the economy! Interesting Magic! It's unfortunate because so many people are misled.

Remember “United we stand divided we fall”. Hillary has proven that she can divide people. A lot of people question if Obama could unite and lead America. LOOK at the votes. Who would have ever thought it would take Bill and Hillary to go after him. It’s my opinion that the Hillary camp started the “RACE” deal. I don’t think her camp is considering our children. If you look around you, the “face” of America is changing. We see more and more bi-racial children. Did she ever stop to think of the impact this makes on the children and young adults that are watching CNN? I was on the fence about who to vote for earlier on however, the very answer that she tore apart was the answer that made up mind. She criticized Obama for thinking about issues without quick responses or answers. I think a smart leader will have experts around them with diverse backgrounds (educational) to assist in the decision making process. Who want “another” president who thinks they know it all and make rash decisions”? Isn’t that how we rushed to war? We can’t have change with the same players!! I don’t really care who endorse who and what race a person is, I want someone who will think about the “little people”.

I think it's a bit disingenuous to group together Obama's experience as a state illinois senator together with Hillary's experience as a New York Congressional senator and say that they are comparable. For one, you are allowed to duck out of voting on tough issues in the Illinois state senate and vote "present" as opposed to Yes or No, a luxury not afforded congressional senators that Obama took advantage of over 150 times as a state senator. It's quite easy to attack someone's voting record when you are not accountable to establish one for yourself. So, please, Hillary is the only Dem. candidate with the proper experience to rightfully change the mess created by 8 years of Bush.

Can you imagine the charges of racism that would bombard the Clintons if one of Hillary's supporters ran an ad calling Obama a disgrace? Such a double standard....so hypocritical. It's interesting how the Clintons get attacked for everything they do. Yet it's Obama who allowed a union to broadcast radio ads in Nevada calling Hillary "a disgrace." Can you imagine the charges of racism that would bombard the Clintons if one of Hillary's supporters ran an ad calling Obama a disgrace?

Such a double standard....so hypocritical.

After electing probably the dumbest and most corrupt administration, not once, but twice,"We the People" are going to keep us in the toilet again. We have become a society of "reality tv" hype, with no concept of what true debate and quality is. Anyone that praises Ronald Reagan is not going to get my vote. Obama should think about switching to the Republican Party. I am writing in Rosanne Barr for president. That should make all of you happy. "We the People"????
