RACE DOESN'T MATTER, SEX DOESN'T MATTER, RELIGION DOESN'T MATTER, AMERICA AND AMERICANS MATTERS"

Si se Puedo YES WE CAN

OBAMA 08, OBAMA MATTER'S AND YES OBAMA WE HEAR YOU LOAD AND CLEAN

UNITED WE WILL!

Yeah…well good ol' McCain…he'll get rid of those pork barrels….
those Republicans…brillant….huh?

I'm not gonna lie, the clinton years were pretty good.
But those days are gone.
Real change means we need a new start.
I believe Obama can restore the United States standing
in the world.
Hillary has been bought and paid for. It's time for new
blood. Not another political dynasty.
And Barack is the man for the job.
The man has charisma for days.
Now let's forget about the Bushes and Clintons
and get on with it.

OBAMA IS GREAT!

VOTE FOR REAL CHANGE-
OBAMA 2008

For me this, and every campaign after George Bush, is about logic versus emotion.

Mrs. Barack Obama has a new hair style. She is now sporting the "Condi Flip". I actually preferred her previous style.

Congratulations to Senator Obama, campaigners and supporters. Good job guys.

One thing though, don't be too excited for his win in SC. Although I'm a democrat and voted for Edwards thru absentee ballot, if Obama is the nominee for the democratic party, I'm voting for any republican nominee for General Election.

I want a President to tackle the problems we have, eloquence doesn't make a President. I want experience, track record, someone who stand up instead of voting present.

Any of the Republican candidates especially McCain is much better than Obama.

Spoken from the mouth of a president….

go obama

No way he will not change anything without congress

The story of that woman is really inspiring. GO OBAMA!

OMG that was an amazing speech!
he connected so well with the audience,
i was so pyhsced about it!

it's time for a change my peoples..i do not want to go backwards

Yes, Obama, we can change. You are so good at saying that, but, you haven't provided one bit of information on how you plan to make that change. As usual, you continue to talk the talk, but, can't even begin to walk the walk. Move over, and make way for the candidate who has the answers, who knows how to not only inspire change, but, bring change about. Hillary Clinton is the candidate of real change, and she will be our next president! Hillary Clinton '08!

YES WE CAN!!!!!!! Obama 08!

Barak Hussein Obama has nothing but empty rhetoric. How can a guy who couldn't even do his job at Senator ( "just vote present ") perform the job of the President of the United States ?

I just looked at the CNN poll numbers. Obamba captured majorities of the black vote and the young vote, which he has been doing all through this campaign. He did not capture much of the non-black vote and did poorly among older voters.

This is a diverse coalition how exactly? I don't see where he is expanding beyond the base of those who have already been supporting him.

Yes we can, yes we can. Obama can bring the country together to make the changes that we need to move ahead for the future, we believe. He will empower every American to step up and become involved in this country again, to be a part of a greater good, to end this alienation that we have suffered from a government that didn't listen to polls, or pundits, or the people, only the loyal Bushies, it's time for a president that works for and with all Americans.

I do believe, that yes we can.

Obama 08

With China and India growing fast, we need to leave the past and folks with old ideas of the past for the future which is going to be very different from what we are used to…

Wow! "Race is not a factor"? Really. How does Obama think he enjoyed such a big win tonight? When he says the fight is about the "past vs. the future" and "changes in the status quo" he is simply stating what all the democratic candidates believe. Only difference is, both Edwards and Clinton can tell voters exactly what that means and exactly how they'll move forward into the future and change the status quo. (I can't believe he's using that old-time Baptist preacher dialect again.)

YES YOU DID! A LANDSLIDE!!!!!!!!!

As a Republican who feels betrayed by Bush, I never thought I could actually be inspired in this election - especially by a Democrat! Obama is the only candidate in either party that I actually WANT to win, not just would prefer over some other greater evil.

On Super Tuesday, I'm going to do something I've never done before. I'm going to cast my vote for a Democrat.

Change we can believe in!

I guess Mr. Obama forgot he works in Washington where supposedly nothing has been done in last 20 years. Doesn't that make him part Washington problem.

Jesse Jackson won SC right? Enough said!

Easy to say, when you've got no past.

If Barack gets the democratic nomination, then I am certain he will be the next President of the United States! Cheers . . . to the future!

The young and the old need hope. There must be something greater that we can aspire to and accomplish and leave as a tangible legacy for our children and grandchildren. I feel America is on the verge of realising something greater than previous administrations have been able to offer. Obama represents that hope, vision and critical thinking and an unashamed practical approach to do what may not be popular politics but to do what he thinks is right. This challenges Americans to be agents of change including individuals like myself who reside in the not too far Caribbean island of Jamaica. For things to change, we have to change. America must choose Barack Obama.

He doesn't want this campaign to be about the past because if it was, people would realize he is inexperienced.

This is a minor victory for Barack, and I hope he keeps his ego in check. One would expect him to win big in the South.

He certainly doesn’t inspire me. I look at this Black/White man who plays both sides of the field, and my stomach turns! If the Dems thinks this guy with soaring rhetoric and a vision without content from a Black Liberation Church is their change agent, this Democrat will vote Republican.

Never underestimate the power of "vision".

"… leadership is the art of direct and indirect influence … But, above all, it is the art of taking a vision of what must be done, communicating it in a way that the intent is clearly understood, and then being tough enough to ensure its execution." FM 22-103, Gen John A. Wickham, Chief of Staff of the US Army, 1987.

Those of you who have never lead nor ever followed a real leader will always underestimate the importance of vision, inspiration and motivation!

Management is not Leadership just as

Experience does not mean good Judgment!

Go Obama '08

Yeah for Obama! We don't want to go back to Republican or the Clintons! Obama can unite us. I'm not black. I'm not male. But, I'm voting for Obama.

Sen Obama,
If I were you, I would lower the tone for this victory and be more candor about other candiates. You are very smart guy and you know very well that black will always vote for black first regardless any circumstance.

Look, John Edward got just 1% of black vote in SC. How pathetic!

Future v. Past

Nice speech. But, I think the Democratic establishment will have something to say about that on Feb. 5 in the 20 states.

Obama's mantra of change, change, change is like the Sirens of Greek Mythology - alluring, but ultimately doomed. Mr. Obama seems to have found an opportunity to capitalize on American's disgust with George Bush and his good ole boys. Unfortunately, the Clintons thirst for victory at any cost, has given Obama more validity than deserved. Hillary needs to back seat Bill and keep her eye on the ball, not on Obama. Obama is not the man for the job - People - stop drinking the Kool-Aid

America is with you Obama !

Turn the page.

Allyson:

It's a good thing that Mrs. Obama doesn't need your approval for her hairstyle. In fact, it's a good thing that no one needs your approval period.

l A nice smile with an intelligent conversation. Well educated and well adjusted to American culture. It's the lies hiding deep in his heart and the knife hiding behind him that we must be concerned about. Killing you with a smile using a weapon or using constitutional law is no different. Beware of wolves in sheep's clothing. If you think otherwise, than they probably will hit your home first.

Despite Senator Obama's attempts to compare himself to great political leaders such as Kennedy and MLK, the sad fact is that he simply lacks the leadership ability and the capacity to bring about the kind of change that is needed. When Hillary Clinton gets the nomination and wins the presidency in 2008, the Democratic Party will once again be restored as the party of change and the party that moves America forward. Senator Clinton has PROVEN that she is the candidate that can bring about change in the face of strong oppostion, and I look forward to her leading the party to victory in 2008!!!!

OMG I WANT TO CRY I"m SO hAPPY. I got on my knees and prayed so much on FRI. This is a really great man who has a lot of potential to do great things. The fact that CLINTONS could'nt recognize that and instead chose to make him look bad, especially at a time we really need to get over the whole american against americans, i thought was very sad and only spoke bad of them. I am happy the american people saw through that hype and MADE IT LOUD AND CLEAR, SMEAR CAMPAIGNS DO NOT AND NEVER WILL WORK AGAIN!!!

OBAMA '08 Thank GOD!

What future? The future does not yet exist. I got the HOPE but still cannot see. Obama, help me, I have HOPE, I have HOPE.but still cannot see the future.

THIS IS THE BEGINING… WE SHALL SEE MORE VICTORY!!!!!

OBAMA IS THE LEADER!!!!!!!!!!

YES, I BELIEVE

The past?? We do not have time to have Obama learn on our dime. Clinton has the experience to deliver the right kind of change. The worst thing about Barack Obama's "Change" rhetoric is not that it is light on details. It is that it is a preposterous contradiction: while he claims to be fighting the status quo, it is he who embodies it. It isn't Hillary Clinton who made racist and sexist remarks and got away with it.

Why did he get away with it? Because it's the status quo.

Barack Obama will be humbled. But the most worrying thing is that, if he wins the nomination and general election, he may be humbled the same way George W. Bush has been: at the cost of the entire country.

I'd rather he gain humility and experience on his own time. Lets not make the same mistake twice.

Yes, OBAMA WANTS A FUTURE– SO HE CAN FORGET ABOUT THE SLUMLORD, Tony Rezko and all of his cop-out 'present' votes, and his health care plans that leaves out 15million Americans, and so on…and so on…

There he goes again!!!!!!!! Obama running to hide behind a slogan

Oo will persuade the world that America is a democracybama is the man wh

Goerge W Bush prove that emotions work more than logic and common sense ..

We are on a brink of proving that theory all over again .. Obama is doing a little better than Bush this time around
God Bless America

Barack Obama reminds me of the qualities of John Kennedy: Energetic, Enthusiastic, Honest and Lively Youth. His momentous speeches are marvelous and astoundingly attractive. America, indeed needs, radical / genuine change and I am confident that Barack Obama will deliver this solemn promise.

I am a Pro-American Saudi Citizen (a devote Moslem with both Islamic and Western cultures blended together) and my advice is “vote for him and give him a chance to change the face of America”. The truth is that America today is considered to be the most hated country in the world because of the arrogant and ill fated policies foreign and domestic. Obama possesses the courage, capability and vision to change all that.

Would not the ideal setup be Hillary Clinton as President for 8 years and Barack Obama as Vice President? He would thereby gain the necessary top level experience that he does not have, Hillary has this in abundance. Then, after the first mandate comes to an end, run Obama for President and have another 8 years to anchor the changes that will come with a new Democrate government.

Yes this caompaign is about playing with emotons of the people

This is sooo true. Bush - Clinton — Bush— PLEASE! anybody but another Clinton.

Michelle looks like Condi. I don't know, something about her I don't like, can't put my finger on it yet. Brother Opama, is a good speaker. If he is the future why does he compare himself to the past? He is no JFK! More a MLK, who was inspirational as well and in the past. JFK did not stutter or stammer in the debates, he had a lot of politics behind him, part of the Washington in crowd. Isn't that the very thing Opama preaches against? If Opama wasn't black he would have been long gone. The race card won't play in the rest of the country. I might add the popular vote went to NIxion. It's the electorial college that determines the winner. If he can pull off an upset on Super Tuesday, he might have a chance. The debate on Thursday, not his strong suit, will be a deciding factor.

okay i don't see what the big deal is here,, obviously black americans feel most comfortable with someone who looks more like them,, just like many white and latinos feel more comfortable with someone that looks like them,, that is not racial but personal preference,, it was not suprising that this would happen just as it was not suprising that it happened in N.H. and Nevada,, nor will it be any different when we look back after super tuesday

OBAMA HAS NO CHANCE AGAINST FRONT REPUBLICAN RUNNERS WHEN IT COMES TO NATIONAL SECURITY AND ECONOMY:

OBAMA WINNING IS THE FUTURE FOR THE REPUBLICANS!!!!!!!!!!!!!

An old saying, (as well as I can recall it): Be careful that, as you look into the past while you stride into the future, that you not stumble over the present.

This is our challenge

Look at the world! We cannot stumble!

Don't hate… Hillary in '08!

No matter if Obama or Hillary wins we all want to get away from this terrible president we have now and all his failures.

- The future looks bright with George Bush gone.

Go Obama!

Bizarre as it may seem but this result shows that Obama will lose on February 5 - not unless he can attract non-black voters - especially latinos - to vote for him.

Right on Obama, change not race or gender is the answer. I want to see the media start refering to Sec. of State Rice as THAT FIRST BLACK, WOMAN SECRETARY OF STATE

OBAMA 08, We hear you and together, YES WE CAN! ! Awating to cast vote in Georgia.

I will make you Obama voters a bet. I'll bet you that many, many more Clinton voters will support Obama in the General election than Obama voters will support Clinton. I keep reading posts by Obama voters saying they will not vote for Clinton under any circumstances. This doesn't sound like a true Democrat. Is that Obama's View?

It baffles me to hear democrates use the race card and use the names of republicans when making reference to racial divide . what political party wre the main players who tried to defeat the equal rights amendment affiliated to of the 60's ????

The 'past' (the 90's) were really good for most people, especially Democrats. A 'future' with Obama leading will be a nightmare.

Barack Obama's win in South Carolina will ultimately be Hillary Clinton's gain. All South Carolina showed last night was that the blacks overwhelmingly voted for him because he's black.

obama…. the manwith the master plan!! his win in iowa was not a fluke and he will become the next american president!!! just becayse he is black doesnt mean he is wack!!!

all these little nuances that obama keeps slipping into the speech when he is speaking to a largly black crowd like " we shall overcome " he is starting to sound like Al Sharpton, he doesn't seem to speak much on issues as far as facts, plans realistic ideas etc, just runs on being black and "
change " but wishing for change without any real plans is like believing in peter pan, useless,,, Hillary has the plans and the experience, what we should overcome is voting for politicians just because the y are black, young , veterans etc etc etc,,,

I hope we are not being bamboozled like we were when, like sheep we all voted for Bush twice. America are you smarter?? Can you really pick a president? Let's hope, eh? Other wise there's no hope.

I'm a positive person and I like positivity in the environment because those are the people that gets things done.

And hillary he is not all talk talk and nothing to show for it, you are.
You didn't even have the courage to even stay in the state after you butt wopping defeat.

I voted for you but I'm glad you got what you deserved.

READ THIS ARTICLE…."MARGINALIZING OBAMA" DATED 1/26/08

TWO QUOTES

"HOWEVER IT WAS OBAMA CAMPAIGN THAT CHOSE TO CHARACTIZE THIS AS A RACE BASE ATTACK"

"BUT BIGGEST OFFENDER, FAR MORE THAN CLINTON OR OBAMA CAMPAIGNS, HAS BEEN THE MEDIA ITSELF"

DUH..CNN/OBAMA NETWORK

The future is higher wages and free universal health care! Just because you don't like school doesn't mean that you shouldn't get to have all things that everyone else does! There is too much seperation between rich and poor. I like Obama's plan on his website that talks about integrating neighborhoods so that all economic groups live together. Maybe if we all lived together and shared our prosperity this country would be much better.

GOBAMA O8!!!!!!!!!

It is time for all Americans to stand up and tell the Clintons that this isn't about them, but about US.

Caroline Kennedy has it right! Our country is in need of a drastic change for the future and the politicians of old need to step aside!

Logic would dictate that we elevate politics above Dubya's disastrous presidency, and the only candidate that can bring about that change is OBAMA.

If race doesent matter then why does Obama keep bringing it up in every speach?
No wonder he has been accused of dealing the "race card".

Just as 80% of African-Americans voted for Obama in SC, think about the viability of an African American candidate nationwide where 80% of the electorate is Caucasian.

Of course it's about race……please nominate Obama so I can get further tax cuts from another Republican President….my four homes could use some upgrades.

Senator Obama you have handled yourself with the strength needed to stand up against the slime of the Clintons. You hAve captured the imagination of the country. I beleive one person can make a difference..that's why I'm a teacher AND THAT IS WHY YOU NEED TO OUR PRESIDENT.

Go OBAMA..MAKE US ALL PROUD.

Senator Obama you have handled yourself with the strength needed to stand up against the slime of the Clintons. You have captured the imagination of the country. I believe one person can make a difference..that's why I'm a teacher AND THAT IS WHY YOU NEED TO OUR PRESIDENT.

Go OBAMA..MAKE US ALL PROUD.

This put the black movement back 30 years in South Carolina and maybe in this country.

Yes Devin. If Hillary is the democratic nominee she will lose to the republican nominee. That's logic. None of the republicans want to run against Obama. He win the vote of the Democrats, Independents and Republicans.

There is so much dirt out there on "Team Clinton" and those republicans are dying to use it.

Obama 08!!!

Wake Up American's - you're about to make one of the biggest voting mistakes again. You screwed up thelast twotimes voting for BUSH now you're really putting the US at risk by voting for this liar and his silent troops.

The future vs the past. He doesn't want too many people looking into his past.
Well I for one believe the past makes us who we are. For good or for bad.

Hillary Clinton deserved the beating she received in South Carolina. Her and her husband’s behavior in recent weeks has been a disgrace, and as a former Clinton voter I have lost any respect I ever had for the former first couple. I have no doubt, however, that we can fully expect to see more dirty politics from the Clintons as we head into Super Tuesday.

Hitlery is from the past, she is no good, this country needs a new leader for a new way of life. Hiterly is a cowardly power hungry hack, it show in her face, she is a rap singer that cry's.

She is yellow and a coward like her husband is.

Obama!

You need some experience to be president (see Bush what happens when one becomes president without experience). Just giving motivational speech is not enough. Clinton will be a good candidate for democrats as she is the most experienced person. Edwards can be good vice president candidate (looking at southern voters), and if they win election, Obama can be Clinton's speech writer. That way we can use all three front runners to good use based on their experience and skillset.

The idea that this election is about "the future versus the past" is a solid, though not particular orginal, sentiment.

However if Sen. Obama wants to keep building on the momentum he has created, at some point — preferably sooner rahter than later — he is going to have to actually ~tell~ us what he plans to do. You can only use the words "hope" and "change" so many times — at some point you have to actually quantify those concepts with real proposals. Until then, Sen. Obama isn't going to get my support, and he may find Super Tuesday and beyond a more difficult row to hoe than the love-fest he experienced here yesterday.

Future is about strong economy, about people able to pay their bills. What possibly Obama knows about poor? He never was poor. He always talks about change. What change? I can not connect with him because he doesn’t connect to individuals; his connection is to the crowd. We don’t need a showman in White house. We need a person in charge who can deliver results.
No messy desks at White House!
Hillary has my vote.

Why is it that race, in some reference or another, has to be inserted into this campaign by this man at every turn? I'm so over it already! We see he's the candidate for "change"…he is the first white-black candidate to get this far…that's change…what I'm not hearing past the issue of race and how "lovely" he and his family are, is his real plan for change! Stop following the dream people and start asking this man the tough questions! All I hear is "Camelot Part II" and 'his wife has a new do!" I'm sure that will bode well for them dealing with the slim at the UN (insert sneer)…

Past vs. future, no doubt. I don't want to relive to 90's!

Obama will be the only one to Unite us and move us forward!

Obama, sure, man, of COURSE we "CAN"… but HOW and with WHAT and WHO? there's a lot of details in there I'd like fleshed out before I get all starry-eyed about him. I'm with Devin, logic over emotion please, when it comes to the future of this country.

Before we get all too excited about Obama we should find out specifically what he plans to do about health care, social security, the economy and Iraq. So far, he is only selling a smile and rhetoric. He spends all of his time trying to tell everyone he is the peace maker for the country. We are not at war with each other. We just need to beat the Republicans. Feel good politics will not do it.

If the future vs the past is supposed to mean that it's time for the first Affirmative Action President, then Obama is right - but if he gets elected, it will not be because of experience or track record, but because people feel a black guy needs to get the job this time around- despite the fact he is not qualified for it in any way

As an Independent I find that somehow very disturbing.

The Political Affirmative Action Candidate, Mr. Obama, remains an empty suit that grabs the microphone, gazes up at the clouds, speaks to the clouds in paragraphs or books, and is never seriously questioned or made to answer about anything. It's all hope, change, hope, change, hope, change…

I HOPE that this situation will CHANGE, and the people, certainly the press, which has already anointed him, will begin to ask some SERIOUS QUESTIONS for a CHANGE!

Re: S.C. with 80% of the black vote for Obama… certainly no racial bias there? Additionally, there are perhaps 2 or 3 other states, in the South that are very similar to S.C.; that would be Georgia, Alabama and perhaps Mississippi.

I find it very troubling that anyone can get 80% of the S.C. vote and we still have people saying, "I'm glad that America has rejected race as an issue in the election process."

Think about this: The blacks came home for OJ and the blacks are certainly comin' home for Obama…

we are in 2008…

we always remembers som good thing from the past…

it s not about race gender poor rich democrat or republican….

IT IS ABOUT DOING VS TALKING…

hillary clinton for president…

I cannot believe anyone in their right minds would endorse or vote for obama. Of course, you would expect that from somebody like the Kennedy's.

In moment's like these, we know what a true leader looks like,Obama is what America and the World needs,let us all support him come february 5. For we see these kind of comet onces in a life time.

T. Hale - do you not think oprah has bought this election for obama???

My vote is for the future. The dot com days are over and that takes credit for the good times in the Bill Clinton years. Not his leadership. Then Bill signed NAFTA and sent all those great, high paying jobs overseas. Other then the economy Bill brought nothing but shame to his years of scandals. I don't want to go back. I want the future that Barack Obama offers me.
The Republicans will rip Hillary to shreds. Barack has left all the Clinton scandals completely alone. You can beat the farm that the Republican won't be nearly so kind.
She is unelectable in a general election and it would be very ugly for America.

So, what I'm seeing here is that it's OK to vote on charisma and not the issues? Come on…wake up! Where's the beef from Obama? I want to hear the hows and whys before I make up my mind. It seems quite a few people are OK with voting on emotion!

Oh please…. Change change change? People are so ignorant and gullible. What change? HOW????? Where is the details? who will pay?? HOW???? Will he get rid of big corporations buying into The Congress? No!!.. so where is the big change? Will he get rid of lobbyists? NO!! .. Obama is no different than the others.. wake up people!!! I can not believe how totally stupid people are to fall for this same crap.

UNITY IS THE BEST WAY TO TAKE OUR COUNTRY BACK… WITH OBAMA AS OUR PRESIDENT WE WILL FINALLY GET A CHANCE TO REALLY CHANGE AMERICA AND HEAL THE DAMAGE WE HAVE CAUSED AS A NATION AROUND THE WORLD…

HILLARY MAY BE QUALIFIED BUT SHE HAS JUST AS MUCH EXPERIENCE AS OBAMA… THEY BOTH HAVE SERVED IN THE SENATE FOR ABOUT THE SAME AMOUNT OF TIME… SHE ADDS HER TIME AS FIRST LADY… SORRY THAT DOESNT FLY AS EXPERIENCE FOR BEING THE LEADER OF THE FREE WORLD. IT JUST ADDS TO THE MILLIONS OF LIES I HAVE HEARD FROM THE CLINTONS FOR A LONG TIME… I HAVENT FORGOT ALL THE SCANDELS AND LIES THAT BEGAN OUR NEGATIVE PORTAYAL AROUND THE WORLD… BILL CLINTON WAS ONE OF ONLY TWO PRESIDENTS EVER TO BE IMPEACHED… I PERSONALLY DON'T WANT HIM BACK IN THE WHITE HOUSE EVEN AS THE HUSBAND… BILL CLINTON ROMING FREE IN THE WHITE HOUSE? AHHHHHH!!!

OBAMA IS TRUE AND JUST FOR OUR COUNTRY… IF YOU FEEL THE SAME WAY DON'T STOP SPREADING THE WORD UNTILL HE IS ELECTED… WE HAVE A LONG ROAD AHEAD AND THE POWERS THAT BE DON'T WANT OBAMA TO GET ELECTED… WE WILL HAVE TO FIGHT FOR WHAT IS RIGHT… IT IS OUR TIME!!!!

OBAMA for PRESIDENT!!!!

Mr. Obama yes you won South Caroline , with your poor boy, picked upon by the Clintons sympathy vote. When are you going to get to the real issues, like your voting record( which is sad), your experiences ( which you haven't much to talk about) and your platform ( the one you took for the playbook of the other candidates). Maybe in the next debate the media can quit letting to slide though . All candidates promise change . You speaker more as if you gone the ministry school than to Harvard.

The American Public deserve everything they GET! Obama?

Trial and Error! Look at what it has COST EVERYONE in the last 7 yrs! Push and Shove! Geo. Bush doesn't have Sense to come out of the Rain ! Yes, Trial and Error! Obama?

Yes, Go For IT America, another "Wided Eyed and Bushy Tail" from Chicago is in route to guide You thru your your FUTURE ! This Guy really professes that he is the "Born Again Savior' since Ronnie Reagan! The Contras are waiting in the Wings! Obama?

As Stated America, You Deserve What You Wish! Trail and Error, Obama?

OBAMA08……This is a great victory for our brother Barack Hussain Obama, America needs a change, and only this man can bring about this change. YES WE CAN, yes we can change America and this is the man. As a Pakistani-American woman i urge all my fellow muslim brothers and sisters to go out and vote, vote for a man who will bring this nation to the great nation it should be.

WILL Barack survive Hillary's venom?

The PAST 8 years should be changed and whether you liked it or not…The Clinton years were productive…Should we changed them also?Not Hardly and if we are truly smart we will consider that point or reduce ourselves to media spins and political media positioning at it's best.
Be careful people…you are falling right into the media trap.

I get upset when I feel like I am being subconciously persuaded (dissuaded?) with a description like "reminiscent of a Baptist preacher"? Every politician speaks loudly. Obama IS a new hope for Americans and we need to keep the focus on his words.

Bill Clinton and his 1900's political tactics has failed…..just come up with another lies.

If Obama ever goes to the White House, it is not imaginable for the lobbyist there would have to start all over again. Maybe that is what Obama meant when he started using the word CHANGE. It is increditable that Israel lost all the work they have done for so many years. They just managed starting a war in Iraq, and now all of a sudden, most American woke up and found themselves involved with a guerilla war, just like the one Israel was fghting ever since they established a country called Israel in 1949. In the past anyone mentioned anything the Jews did not like to hear, he would be intimidated by being called " ANTI-SEMITIC ' Now a very intelligent black man stood up like a man, put up a fight. Those who opposed him would have to have some other desperate measures to get rid of this next president. Or the Jews has to continue support Clinton because people outside of NYC, never heard of Michael Blumberg before. dancewu(dot)net

That's the whole trouble and problem with Obama - always giving empty oratory, and high-sounding speeches. He has no record of performance to show. As aptly editorialized in the New York Times endorsing Hillary, Obama has actually nothing concrete to offer the American electorate. Charisma? He's like the Pied Piper leading his supporters to the brink of uncertainty and doubt about his ability to serve as President of the USA. It's good that Hillary and Edwards are stepping in his way. And good for Americans and their families in the future.

Yay! Get out the Vote! I was in South Carolina and will never forget it! If you haven't heard his victory speech yet, please do! I am sorry Hillary, this is Barack's time!!!

OBAMA '08

George W Bush was said to have charisma and look where it got us. We' ve got to look beyond the speeches and surface and ask some deeper questions. The Clintons may be from the recent past but she is qualified and smart. Besides, just because she got her experience from the past as everyone does, doesn't mean she isn't part of the future as well. I want more proof of Obama being a unifier instead of giving us either/ or choices.

obama is sly and has an air of arrogance about. no man is that perfect, what is putting up is a front and fooling all of you people. i am a black democrat and if obama is there in december, a i am voting republican. the vote in south carolina was all about race. they voted for him just because he was black. they did the same with jessie jackson.

Compared to Hillary, Obama is all sound and fury, signifying nothing for America's political future. Go Hillary!

Yeah, yeah, yeah. . .more generalities and empty, soaring rhetoric. What a guy!

To quote the obama

"Yes we can change, yes we can".

ahmen
yes brother
praise the lord
uh-uh
Adn so on.

Jesse Jackson won South Carolina, also and he didn't win the Democratic nomination or the Presidency. Obama won't win either because he is not the candidate of change. Obama is just a mouthpiece for the same old Washington establishment, like Ted Kennedy and John Kerry, who helped to get us into this mess. They both recently endorsed Obama and only seem interested in promoting the so-called ivy league graduates such as Obama, at the expense of the American people. Just because Obama graduated from the same so-called ivy league school that Ted Kennedy and John Kerry, doesn't make him a better candidate or person than more qualified individuals! For real progress and change for all Americans, (not just those that graduated from so-called ivy league schools) we should all vote for Mike Huckabee, the FairTax candidate, who will look out for the best interest of all Americans!

Hillary is bought and paid for? What are you talking about. The Clinton years were good years because we had a smart president and a supportive spouse who learned a few things while she was there because she didn't bake cookies and wasn't concerned with making a fashion statement. She wanted health care for americans way back then. Decades later the rest of the country is just catching up. She has vision, she has guts, and she can think on her feet. A skill that Senator Obama does not have, as proven time and again during the debates.

All I can think that he is a "rock Star". Yes, he reminds me of a Southern Baptist preacher also. No doubt he is a wonderful orator, but what is he really saying. I haven't figured it out yet.

It was Obama that capaigned in the early states that it was not a race issue. He stated over and over again that his race should not be a factor. Then he gets to SC and all of a sudden he thinks all blacks should vote for him because he is black too. Who is using racist rhetoric? If you will vote for a republican if Clinton wins then you should switch parties. You are validating the racist rhetoric you admonish. If you will only vote democratic if there is a black candidate you are part of the problem! Get over it and start voting on issues and not race. Go ahead and vote for a republican. That party certainly has black issues on the for front and supports black issues. Yeah, right! What a stupic comment that you would ote republican if Obama doesn't get the nomination. Please, for the sake of the country, just don't even bother to vote!

I think the worst thing americans can do it put a junior senator in charge of our country at one of the most difficult times in this nations history.

If you think we have issues now just wait should someone like Barak Obama become the president.

Thank you, Colorado.

Truthfully, Senator Clinton has more guts than any candidate. In reality, I doubt Texas will support Mr Obama.

Best wishes to Senator Clinton

This is demagoguery at its worst - it is all hot air and no real action or policies - and if people are stupid enought to vote for it they will get the President they deserve.

It is the same sort of nonsense that G W Bush did in 2000!!

The only thing Obama genuinely believes in is gettign himself elected.

Nailing him down to real policies and actions is like nailing jello to a wall.

How come every Hillary Clinton supporter I see here is just spouting the typical, baseless attacks that have typified the Clinton campaign? It's like they went to the Karl Rove school of tear-down politics. I'm sorry, but we've had nearly 8-years of these 'divide and destroy' tactics and enough is enough.

Obama mislead young people with honeyed words, I don't trust him because his speech and action is antinomy.

open your ears and your heart then maybe you can hear the truth. obama is the truth.

I like the last line of this story! Yes, Obama knows how to preach!
But it is all empty rhetoric about change. It really means nothing.
Go home Obama, hopefully on Feb. 5th.
You are not strong enough to lead our great country.

*** OBAMA WILL BRING GOOD FUTURE TO THE REPUBLICANS***

Just seen a post that said:

Billary sucks - Obama rocks!

Now ain't that the truth!

AMIR, i agree. People, stop saying he says he is bringing change and he never talks about change. He has a website Barackobama.com. You can check it out. Oh, it is free, no registration fee. There you will be able to see where he stands.

obama supporters will be surprised when those of us who are "the past" - in our 40s, 50s, 60s, and up - show up to vote for hillary!!! and there are many millions of us. not only are obama supporters acting in a racist and extremely sexist manner (which they would deny to the end, but is true), but also in a highly ageist manner.

we were young, too, and thought we knew it all. then we grew up and realized we were wrong. ask your parents if they knew it all when they were your age - if you respect your parents more than you apparently do all us "past" people you keep telling to go away and shut up. (of course, just like when we were young, you'll read this and think some stupid old person is talking and ignore it - i do understand that, just had to say it anyway).

i've open my ears and my heart and all I hear from Obama is emptiness.

That is right, it is about future vs the past.

who cares about the "present""

"Present" comes habdy or the only option when Obama has to vote.

Will any of the canadites be a GREAT President? I do not know. None of us do…
My gut, wrong or right, tells me not to trust Clinton. As much as I would like to see a woman President. I do not believe that Clinton is that woman. Why can't politicans see that we are tire of the fighting. The endless years of "Washington knows best". I want to believe in Barack Obama, because he has not spent as much time in Washington. Sen. Obama also seems willing to compromise to get the job done.

I will NOT vote for Hillary Clinton. My faith in our government is very low. Barack Obama is the first canidate to give me hope. And, obviously, he is giving young people and black people hope. They are actually participating in the process in far greater numbers than in previous years.

Barack Obama '08

I think all you people who want to know what Obama will do should go to his web site and check his plans there. His health care plan is actually more well thought out than Clintons who basically says she will do for all, but never says how.

What concerns me is the people who just vote for or against someone because of race or sex. that is really disturbing considering what is at stake.

Urgent Urgent

Obama should say that he will bring not only troops but also jobs back home.
Stop outsourcing high tech & other jobs.
Bring Manufacturing jobs back to USA.
Train illegal immigrants and miilions of other to get back in manufacturing jobs.
There is no more Golden state which so many foreclosures of homes and no more Silycan Valley . All the jobs go on to India and China.

There should be limit on Outsourcing and the comapnies who outsource jobs they should invest money in training local people.

Clintons & Macain are war mongars, They always support wars.
