Comments on: Obama gets big endorsement in South Carolina

Senator Obama campaign and victory will be won by the youth of America.
They have witnessed the "old,tried and tired" politics which has totally destroyed and divided our country. People are just plain sick of it. Senator Clinton has shown her true colors, voting with Bush on war issues,immigration,etc. We the People do not just want change. WE DEMAND CHANGE !!! I just pray this movement will overflow into the up coming congress and senitorial races. The incumbents and the people who plan to run have been forewarned.

The State paper in SC is a joke. I live here, I know. Sure there only reason for endorsement is because this conservative paper does not want a Hillary Clinton in office. It won't work. She is the best choice for America.

If Hillary dropped out of the race, I would back Edwards...otherwise I wouldn't bother voting. It's scary enough that we have had some diehard Christians running this country for ages...I have no interest in seeing what a Muslim would do. Barack came out of nowhere, he doesn't have the experience...I just can't shake the feeling that this guy is putting on a huge front....and obviously he's getting all the Black votes and some women apparently have a crush on him...why is beyond me. At my caucus in Iowa, 90% of his supporters were black. Hillary had the most diverse group of supporters: white, black, men and women at an even ratio. Hillary has spent 8 years in the White House. She's smart, she's tough and she knows the ropes. She also has a history of making a definite attempt to bring health care to all the citizens of this country. This is a time when we need her.

HAHAHAHAHAH!!!!! BILLARY!!!! That says it in a nutshell!! America wake up....Hillary Clinton is not Bill Clinton. Bill had his opportunity to guide your country through some tough and frankly strange times in American history. He did a fairly good job at winning the hearts of the majority of the public worldwide but unfortunately he had his time at the helm...and its over. Thank you Bill for your commendable servirce. NOW Hillary on the other hand is is about as divisive and partisan is they come!! Do you all Really think Hillary or BILLARY can really unite your country which by the way is a TWO PARTY system with loyal supporters devoted to each?? Whatever you may think of Bush....Hillary is no different she's the flip side of the same coin!!!

With that being said, can you end the BUSH-CLINTON-BUSH-and potentially CLINTON dynasty and vote for someone with Vision, Morality an ability to end the partisan divisiveness??? OBAMA CAN DO IT!!! Believe it or not the choices you make in this election not only affect your country but they also have the eyes of the world glued to the constant coverage and HOPE that you will make the right desicion in choosing a LEADER for the future of a once great country. OBAMA, CAN and WILL have an amazing following of people ready to unite behind the common purpose of moving FORWARD.....TOGETHER. Don't you get it????

PS Please do not let race or gender dominate this election......Remember MLK...JUDGE BY THE CONTENT OF THEIR CHARACTER....OBAMA embodies that
and that my friends...... is just the tip of the "iceberg" as we say up here.

Who cares about a newspaper endorsing Obama, it shows how easily mislead they are....Obama's message is empty & has no substance...He is acting like a spoiled bully & using the race card...if he thinks the Clintons are rough on him ,if he is the nominee just wait until the GOP gets through with him they don't care how much he cries & whines the Clyburn or the news media, they will rip him apart. He is such cry baby and he has divided the voters in SC with the race card mess...I will not vote in the General Election if he is the nominee or vote for the GOP candidate depending on who it is...Vote Edwards or Clinton on 1-26-08 in the Democratic primary....

For the all the criticisms of Hillary Clinton's divisiveness and partisanship, I would vote for her over Obama any day. I know what she stands for, she's not afraid to play the political game, and she's a REALIST. Obama has a nice track record of no-stance "present" votes in the legislature and does not seem willing to explain them. I can't vote for someone who won't do that. He criticises K Street and vested interests in Washington DC, but does he honestly believe that he can ignore them if he is elected to office. Lobbies, pressure groups, etc. are all a part of modern democracy, and whoever does not believe that is unfortunately naive. Obama has nice rhetoric on the power (audacity) of hope. But hope ain't gonna lead the world or help him survive as president. But a woman who knows how to manoeuvre the snares and tangles of Washington politics can!

There is no single presidential candidate that can unify this country. We are a stubborn group of people split down the middle on our opinions and views. And not one single person will change that this year. Instead, I look at which candidate can help us globally, as I feel that President Bush has lost a lot of the good will that we have around the globe. I believe that Hillary Clinton is the best candidate because Bill Clinton did a great job at building global relations when he was President. I believe a Clinton white house could once again help our relations globally, which we will need for the future. It is amazing how many people forget how well our country was when the Clinton's were in office. Bill's econcomic policies were great for this country, as was his leadership. I believe Hillary represents the same core values as her husband, which can only be good for this country. So, despite her funny laugh, she will get my vote. At this moment in time, she's the only candidate in the field that has the experience to do something to turn us around in the right direction.

Is it a surprise???
Mr. Obama, you claimed to be a Uniter? Are you? You can not even unite your own party. You divided us as a nation more than ever.
- We're color blind. Stop telling us your "true" color.
- We're color blind but we're not deaf. Stop shouting but if you do, we need to hear real issue, real solution.
- We're color blind but we're not brainless. Stop defend yourself. We need the leader to defend us.
After all, you're no different than them (the politics). You're ONE of them.
Blah, blah, blah ....Vote for me.

Hillary Clinton is the absolute worst choice to be our president. She has no idea how to build bridges.. Senator Obama at least is making an effort. He understands that great ideas come from many different sides...not just Democratic or Republican. He is smart and articulate. We need a person who can make peace, build bridges and get the job done. He has a a pretty clean record..unlike Hillary..and look who she is married to..the scandal king. I don't want him back in the White House hitting on the help.

I also think it is pathetic that the Clintons are so desparate to win they will say anything and do anything. The double teaming of Senator Obama is a new low even for them. Bill wants a 3rd term and Hillary is all about the power. If the Democrats don't wake up and see her for what she is..a power hungry morally bankrupt politician..they will get exactly what they deserve in Novemeber...a Republican president.

Endorement are nice but do they really matter. What you know about a candidate is the important issue here. Obama's solutions for the issues facing Americans are carbon copies of the other candidates play book. His voting record in the US Senate is not that great. In 2007 out of 433 votes he was absent for 175. The Illinois people placed him in the Senate to be their voice and he out campaigning more then being there.(source GOVTRACK.ORG ) Hillary Clinton missed 117. in 2007. Hillary miss a total of 143 out 2394 since 2001. Her job approval rate is 60% . The average is 53%. Obamas been in the senate 2yrs. and he has missed 177, out of 1068 ( since Jan 6, 2005.) They done even state his approval rate. I believe Obamas major goal is to be president and everything he has done in the past was done to get him there. I don"t believe he is ready for that role , he has yet to prove he is.

To all the negative Hillary supporters (because some really do support her and are not just showing their prejudice against Obama more voters have said if she wins they will vote for McCain or not vote at all me being one of them. Explain how she unites us in the end it is not going to happen this time. The status-quo is to get behind whoever the party nominates we don't agree with that anymore. I see why there are a lot of people switching to independent and if Hillary wins no more being a democrat for me I do not enjoy dirty politics for any reason. I don't want to be like the people who voted for President Bush only a few have stuck with him in spite of all his mistakes the rest of them fled like cowards. The same thing will happen to Hillary if she wins you are all for her now but what happens when she gets in and disappoints you, are you still going to support her or jump ship?

I am wondering why there isn't more coverage and discussion of the relationship between Obama and Rezko. It seems important since Rezko is going to trial on charges of fraud, extortion and money laundering and the fact that he has contributed $168,000 to Obama. It seems like a large amount of money to give someone when Obama claims he only did a few hours of work for Rezko. Also what happened with the house deal that Obama got. Apparently he paid $300,000 below the asking price for the house after Rezko's wife purchased the lot next door. So, why isn't the media looking into this?

It is to bad that this has been allowed to become a race issue. We cannot elect a presdident based on a small core following. With the critical issues facing us we need a president that is well versed on policy etc. Obama is not that person. He lacks the substance that is greatly needed.

I have supported Obama's candidacy and believe he is the right person for the Presidency. After the last debate, I will not vote for Hilary IF she takes the nomination. There is too much at stake for our country and I would like to see someone who can work across different groups. I am not pleased with her attitude towards Obama. We need all branches of government to work together and she has demonstrated to be divisive. Although she is very accomplished, I do not believe she has demonstrated integrity and when is pressured, her negative attributes will interfere with her ability to take responsibility as a leader and work with both Democrats and Republicans. She is going after Obama and trying to rattle him and it is unfortunate that she continues to go there and push him to respond. It is political game playing and the Clintons are pushing beyond acceptable limits. Party loyalists may not allow Obama to take the nomination, which is sad because so many independents and even Republicans are willing to vote for him. This is so marginalizing for people who do not care about party politics and who are just trying to live their American dream.

Senator Obama is a great communicator, but I do not believe he is a unifier. He has not demonstrated that in any of his actions. He attacks as much as Hillary does. The difference is that people are not accustomed to having a strong woman defend her position or utilize offensive strategies to make her point. So you immediately demonize her. How well we know this game. She is a strong, capable, experienced woman who will speak her mind and if attacked will defend herself. She is presidential material and will stand up for what she believes. We ask this of any candidate, why not her. Regarding endorsements, they did not help Obama in Nevada, because it is each individual American who must decide for themselves. Hillary values each individual and makes sure that they are not invisible to her. VOTE for HILLARY...you will not regret it!

Obama is no unifier, any more than Hillary. He is an active member of a black separatist church (why doesn't he disavow the Trinity Church;s black separitist, African-centric creed?), he is close friends with a Farakhan loving Pastor, he has taken money from his corrupt Chicago buddies, and he is been on the attack from day 1 in this campaign - he is no unifier, he has half the country despising him, who see through his empty words promising the Americans anything. Look at his record in the illinois legislature and US Senate -he was either absent or abstained from voting ("present") on any controversial bill-"gutless" is not the same a "unifier". Now he is a crybaby "The Clintons are picking on me, Moma"-grow up, Obama, you are in the big leagues now and you can expect far worse from the Republicans if you happen to be nominated.

Advantage Obama, The theme of what Obama conveys means more than the rhethoric of experience and claims of knowledge that Hillary often atempts to express. It's understandable that hillary aspires to be the president but we must consider her motivation for wanting the job. Is it because she wants the title as the first female president, or because she want to prove to her spouse that she can do it, or perhaps she's just power hungry. In either case she would be doing it for all the wrong reasons. Personally, I commend Hillary for her ambition however I doubt that she will be able to rouse Americans enough to build cohesion among the races, which America is made of. Furthermore, America needs a good shock in order to revitalize the economy. Citizens have been overlooked and misled by presidents who placed their own agendas ahead of theirs, and those presidents have sold Americans out by shipping jobs overseas and even granting favors to their friends. Hillary will continue along that same path if elected, she has already demonstrated that she is experienced with the failing policies. Never again will the likes of George W be granted such trust. In the nearly eight years that he has held office, we only have memories of his poor leadership. 9/11 was a pivotal moment in American lives and Bush failed, he failed again in Lousiana when Katrina devastated the state. He was the leader of the nation and he shifted the blame to state officials who were caught in the middle of the event themselves. Then of course there is Iraq. what a pathetic display of leadership to Americans and the entire world. America has been handicapped by bad policies, poor leadership, and unimaginative thinking for many decades now. Presidents have come and gone without doing a single thing to push the nation together. The causes of America effects every American and I don't think it 's necessaray for the media to point out that which is obvious. Obama is black, Edwards is white, and Hillary is a white woman, we know this because we see that with our own eyes. The best candidate for America is possibly the best perscription for America's woes. RX. Obama Give it to America for four years or longer. Cahnge is good, embrace it.

Hillary represents the best in the democratic tradition – Franklin Delano Roosevelt, John F. Kennedy and Woodrow Wilson. Obama is not a Democrat, he is a Republican – inexperienced, flamboyant without substance, peddling hope that contains nothing and obviously belonging to the genius of the below average. He is everything un-American. A vote for Obama is to devastate the Democratic Party of Great American Presidents. The Republicans want him to be the nominee because he certainly will get clobbered by any Republican nominee specially McCain or Romney. So, go Hillary go, for the survival of America and the democratic tradition of excellence.

Rosemary Garzma should be ashamed to write that pittiful blog about how mean it is to say bad things about Hillary. (Why becaue shes a women)

WAKE UP Rosemary, she is running for President, you seemed to be ashamed of what her hubby Past President Bill is saying, well tell Hillary to marry a real man.

She is in the race or not. It is not about being a women, a man, an ethnic group, a religious group etc. It is about finally saying we are one and mean that we are one.

The first rock was thrown by the Clintons and sadly it worked. I applaud Barrack for defending his record. However, I do think Barrack's campaign needs to work on more crisp responses to these strategic attacks. Defend but don't stay where they want you to stay Barrack...keep inspiring us to be better than politics as usual!

President Clinton is one of the best political speakers of this generation I must admit. However, his fake anger is laced with half truths that have always left me with the question...why can't I completely trust this guy? Hillary, far less capable a speaker, uses the same rhetoric and tone that reminds me of the 90's all over again...and that was painful. Change has to come from both sides of the isle if we are going to reclaim our country from Bush-Clinton politics.

There was no reason for her to react in such a negative tone.

I have one other thing to say-the American people may be ready to elect a woman president however the world is not ready to be led by a woman. Can you imagine Hillary Clinton trying to persuade the leaders of Islamic countries to do something. These people keep their women at home covered in black garb. Imagine how much respect Hillary Clinton is going to get when she tries to make an argument on behalf of the American people and even more so when she takes her husband along who can't keep his pants on to save himself. International heads of state snicker at people like Bill Clinton. What a combination.

David,
Living in the White House or Governor's Mansion does not necessarily constitute experience. Obama has been in elective office since Hillary's days as the spouse and I am yet to be told of her experience. Defending your spouse over adultery is not the kind of experience that we need. The Clintons had their chance and it is time they moved on. Their incessant ambition to rescue a lost legacy of sex, money, and corruption will ruin the Demcoratic party. Hillary lacks the judgement to be the president. She will divide this country like no president has ever done! She rarely inspires, never optimistic, and sees conspiracy everywhere. Obama is the best among the three candidates that we have.

Notice how everyone's prized Televangilist (Obama) is getting nastier and nastier. A trait he swore up and down he wouldn't stoop to? Demonizing everyone around him...the great unifyer? It's sad to see because I really believe he has great intentions...but, you can't just win on ideals...you have to be ready for reality...and the reality is...we have a divided country with radically opposite beliefs...and it takes a lot more than a good stump speech to inspire Washington to "Real Change"...Real change historically has taken lots of time and effort from many people...not just one. He can inspire the citizens...great....but, a president is supposed to be a "Leader of Leaders" which includes the military and other world leaders. That lack of understanding makes Obama a huge risk right now. We don't need another "Captain Change the World" / Cowboy...we've had one of those for 7 years...didn't work out well. We need a consistant, strong and stable president to deal with global damage control before we try radical change in Washington. Hillary/Obama 08 Obama/Edwards 2016

Obama's presidency will only polarize this country. This is the opinion of many African Americans. It is too much to have GWB. This country has been divided between red and blue states. Should we have another "black" state? Let's keep in mind that Obama's speeches are made by professional political speech writers. These are paid individuals, and financially supported by political businessmen who are hoping to get appointments should he get elected. For people who want a Democrat at the WH, the only electable person is Hillary Clinton. Electing Obama will only help the Republicans to retain the White House. The Republicans will destroy Obama just like what they did to John Kerry.

By the way, Obama has every right to defend his record and any other lie that the Clintons are trying to throw at him. He is tryin gto bring the country together. he is not out there to win the Black, White , Spanish, or Asian vote for the moment.
He wants everyone to feel and have apart in his message.

Obama needs to stay focused on his campaign message and don't get the mud with the Clintons. Whenever Obama is in a national setting, like a televised debate, he needs to quickly and forcefully refute false claims against him, however he needs stay focused on his campaign message. If the majority of Democrats vote for Hillary as the nominee in pite of your extraordinary inspiring national message then let it be. Obama needs to stay focused and crisp on his plans for the economy, national security, and immigration, because those topics will come up again especially in the California debate.

Obama just keep going on. Fighting with Bill and Hillary is counter-productive, not only to the Democratic party but for the country. Obama can't win getting dirty with the Clintons, especially Bill. Bill is a popular former president even though he has demonstrated the uncanny ability to lie convincingly.

Obama has to stay above the Clintons, sticking to the national issues and his message of change.

Rosemary Garza, please check your facts. I don't see how someone can be a bully, simply by defending his name from unwarranted and continued attacks.

Anyway, Obama truly is a man of integrity, and I am happy that many people are clear-minded enough to see his intentions, and recognize his vision for a country that isn't caught up in ruffian, partisan politics and twisted dishonesty.
