Hillary is depending on her husband, she is not acting like the independent woman i would want for president. I am sick and tired of Bill Clinton and his dirty politics. i used to be a Bill Clinton supporter, in fact i was one of the millions who kept supporting him while he put the country through so much--for so little. With the way the former President is behaving on the campaign trail--.it's clear they have become egomaniccs only out for themselves. I will vote for Barak Obama and a new future away from all this attack dog politics. the way hillary laughed about 'Bill Clinton being the first black president'--I found that offensive, even though I am not black myself.

I will not try to reproduce exactly it here, but the point was that there has been an unrelenting onslaught of attacks against both the Clintons, by the Republican hit machine, going back to their early days in national politics and carrying through the impeachment and subsequent acquittal of President Clinton and even to today. They have survived it. I fear I must be careful here; I used the stronger version of darned and referred to the yellowish discharge found under scabs by a word that sounds a bit like bus. These references were to Republican financial backers and Republican political operatives (sometimes the same thing) . The inference to be drawn was that the Clintons have both survived...for years...Obama has yet to be tested in the fire of fierce Republican scrutiny. The post was somewhat longer than this...and I hit "enter" and it apparently uploaded but there was no message "awaiting moderation" from me. I scrolled to the bottom of the blog and there in the comment box was my post. I hit " enter again...and a screen I have never seen before, informed me that a comment exactly like this one had been received. It disappeared.

The press - in this case CNN –pounces on the bickering and the trivia and blows it all all out of proportion. And yes, many of us don’t want to hear that – we want to hear about the issues. Do you think the trivia and other garbage makes good entertainment, CNN? This is a presidential campaign and it is serious business, not entertainment. It should be treated as serious business preparing people to vote in a critical election. However, the real issues are being ignored, thanks to the endless tripe being fed to us by our media. The issues are what people need to listen to and research and think about. I couldn't believe the discussion after the Jessica Yellin/Bill Clinton clip that was shown: half a dozen or so reporters all saying the media DOESN’T concentrate on the trivia and slipping a bit of "political analysis" in there for good measure. CNN’s disclaimer went on for 10 or 15 minutes during which they actually showed the bickering tape again! This is exactly what Clinton was talking about! No information about issues came out during that wasted period of time.Then, John Edwards was actually interviewed. Finally! It's about time. What’s with the blackout on Edwards, American media? I want to hear what Edwards has to say about the issues. I want to hear what Obama and Clinton and - yes, Kucinich - have to say about issues, too. I even want to know what the Republicans are saying about the issues! I DON’T want to hear bickering and I DON’T want to hear about what the latest polls say and I DON’T want endless political "analysis". Let the candidates speak for themselves about the issues. Ask tough questions about the issues and don't let them off the hook by evading questions or giving vague answers. Tough questions do not include things like, "Why did you do so poorly in _(fill in the state__."Give me the issues - all of them - and the candidates- all of them. Skip the pompous analysis, stupid, shallow questions, the inane trivia (Hillary 'cries', Obama and Clinton squabble) and endless polls.

He's not going to back down to accusatory comparisons with Lee Atwater, for heaven's sake! Nor should he. To compare Clinton to Atwater is like comparing him to Rove.

It clearly had a negative impact in Iowa because Hillary finished 3rd. The media were dancing on her grave after Iowa so what did you expect Bill to do just sit back and see the media get away with murder. Open your eyes ppl the media always try to weaken strong democratic candidates every election and cause the democrats to select someone who blows the election except for who, none other than Bill Clinton himself. I think unfortunately you ppl have been swayed by Obama's empty words of hope and change because this guy has no serious track record of the type of leadership he is selling. I think the Bush administration has made such a mess of the country that ppl are willing to buy anything that sounds different, but I warn you fellow democrats that with the economy in crisis, ppl losing their homes, millions without health care and the host of other problems, a steady and experienced hand is needed to make things better or at least prevent them from getting worse. This, as Mr.Obama suggests, is not the politics of fear but it is a reality that we all need to face and come to terms with. Ask yourselves, since when the leader of the free world has been elected with only experience in the State legislature and two years in the Senate. For democrats and for America this election is too important to experiment with that question. My fellow mules, we have all seen the Republican attack machine and what it can do in a general election and it is my honest opinion that Obama will be greatly affected because he has never faced that machine. I will end by saying that we all have the luxury of hope but we do not have the luxury of losing another election. I think Bill is right because for all you ppl who apparently haven't been following the election closely Obama and Edwards had form some kind of buddy system and were attacking Hillary and were very nasty against her before voting had even started and the media allowed these attacks to go largely unnoticed. It clearly had a negative impact in Iowa because Hillary finished 3rd.

The media were dancing on her grave after Iowa so what did you expect Bill to do just sit back and see the media get away with murder.

I am a John Edwards supporter in this election, but he is absolutely right! We DONT care about all this bickering nonsense, and when the media makes sensationalist crap the headlines it's THE PEOPLE that lose. That's right to those of you who made remarks on it, clinton was referring to the election being taken away from THE PEOPLE , not himself. If you folks would try and improve your literacy, maybe that little nuance wouldn't have escaped your tiny little minds. AMEN BILL!!!!!

Americans either have dementia, or plain and simple ungrateful beings! Bill did for this country and other nations what no other president has ever done! What has Obama ever done other than talk? NOTHING!!!!! Hillary is a remarkable woman! She is the only one that can fix the mess we are in now (thanks to Mr. Bush or rather Mr. BS). It is about time that everyone in America have access to free or affordable health-care. 100% pro the Clintons!!!!! Americans either have dementia, or plain and simple ungrateful beings!
