Hi,

I would like to know till 2008 no one had heared of Obama? or anything about the Man. its funny how he in 2008 just shows up and knows all and how to deal with it all come on what has people got there eyes closed.?

I have to give it to her, Hillary's last line was priceless: It took a Clinton to clean up after the first Bush, and I think it might take a Clinton to clean up after the last Bush. Very funny.

Why would Kennedy be an edge? In mainstream America Kennedy just doesn't measure up….

I Like the tone of this debate tonight very cool and calm.. I can see after this is done it will be a Clinton/Obama ticket

I agree with what is being said 100% I think the two of them would make a great team if they ran together. Is this debate going to ask about Iraq at all?

Hillary can walk away from the debate at this point. With the statement she just uttered she has the best political catch phrase since, "You're no Jack Kennedy." She has earned my vote…she has won.

And she said it was up to the voters to make up their minds. The people have the power, not a family names.

I missed tha last inervention of Hillary…Why was there so much applause?

They are both weak. God help us if either of them wins!

Go HILLARY!!!!

Hillary is losing

Why would people for hillary for change? CHANGE is not putting another clinton in the whitehouse. it will just expand the liberal empire

I'm glad they raised the Bush-Clinton-Bush-Clinton issue.

This is getting out of hand.

If Clinton won and Jeb Bush ran in 2016, we would have 5 decades with all Bush-Clinton.

Clinton is only there because her name, and everyone knows it.

The same with George W. Bush, an idiot, who got there by name recognition and connections.

Tell it like it is man! this is the truth. Hillary is sidestepping these questions! she take ups time answering short questions with long monologes.

Here's a question: Would the winner consider having the loser on the ticket?

There have been more than just this squabble tonight, but I'm glad it has remained civilized. Obama started the squabbling by saying Clinton has flip flopped on the immigrant license issue. Since that point there seems to have been undertones of competitive "well I did x" with retort "y"

The line of the night clearly goes to Hillary Clinton. "It took a Clinton to clean up after the first Bush; it will take another Clinton to clean up after this Bush." She is terrific tonight!

I agree they are both careful and civil. But I think I want to see someone new some one that inspires me to work more and live happier and gives me hope. And that is Obama. Clinton is nice, but I like her back in the senate. I want a leader bring us together.

"It Takes a Clinton to Clean Up After a Bush"
Amen!

I love it–the Clintons need to clean up after the Bushs' messes. Hillary 08!

I think this "political analysis" is a bit one-sided don't you think? Try not to be so predictable.

Hillary's comment that it took a Clinton to clean up the first Bush presidency and it may take a Clinton to clean up the second Bush presidency was right on the money.

The result of the Clinton years were far better for many than not. Some would say that Ted Kennedy is not the better Kennedy endorsement. They both have their allies, as they should.

Obama is being too soft on Hillary the Clintons disgraced the white house I don't trust her. Obama should attack the 90's and like she said we had Bushes and we had Clintons we been there done that

It seems Hilary scored strong with her cleaning up the mess for a another Clinton. It goes back to the same question we should be asking ourselves. Do we want one family to control the political process in America which could turn out to be more than two decades.

Great applause line for Clinton as she reminds us that it took a Clinton to clean up after the first Bush and it will AGAIN take a Clinton to clean up after this Bush(Shrub)!

Hillary's so much for fighting. You know who else is for fighting? Bush and the rest of the Republicans. Fighting has gotten us nowhere. It just leads to escalation.
Obama is able to talk to both sides.
The young are the future of our country. They should be making choices here.
You are right Bill in saying Obama has the better Kennedy endorsement.

What I want to know is why she takes credit for the job her husband had. I think women are suppose to earn their own stripes. Are we still using our husband jobs to rate our worth? Have we not moved far enough to stand on just our own earned place?

I believe the debate is going well between both of these candidates. But they have yet to answer the biggest concern most americans have,

How fast will you remove troops from Iraq, and use the money in the billions of dollars per day, to #1) Repair the american job market and economy #2) Fix the damaged southern states hit by Katrinia and #3) Use thos billions of dollars to build homeland security and control immigration also. If either candidate could promise and admit to doing this tonight they would be ushered in as The American President Tomorrow!

I agree with the Sneider:Stength vs Strength comment and recognize that Obama does not use the opportunity to raise the Clinton scandals because of his respect for women. He was raised by his Mom and has a great deal of respect for women and doesn't seize the opportunity to bring up baggage except when it is clearly needed to establish a tone. I have discovered that many men who are raised by the moms protect them rather than attack them.

What I really appreciate and value about Barack Obama, and the reason I will vote for him, is that he calls us as citizens to task for inaction in a positive tone. This is a difficult yet necessary call that sets him far apart from Hillary Clinton. We the people must push for the change we want to see.

The trading of dynasties, as they call it, I don't think is right for America. Though even on issues alone, I still think Obama is the clear choice.

Clinton said, "It took a Clinton to clean up the first Bush mess. It will take a Clinton to clean up the second Bush mess!" I totally agree!!

Obama would be a good Vice President and would be READY in EIGHT years to lead the country.

Obama never says anything. He is a great speaker but no substance. Clinton is the better candiate.

I am just afraid that if Hiliary gains the nomination, the Republicans will hold no punches to throw up Bill Clintons antics into the debates!! It has already been said on Fox news this morning that Rupert Murdoch already has a file full of scandals to throw out at Hiliary. Is it worth it to go through all that drama again, when in reality Obama is just as qualified as Hiliary?

Bill take note, Hillary is the ONLY one who brought in GENDER into the debate: "The First WOMAN President." What is this gender and race set of issues?

I would like to know if Hillary and Obama would consider running together, they would be unstoppable as a Team. Please ask tthem, Thanks Chris T.

Your comments are not fair journalism. I am watching the debat and I think Clinton has more ideas to issues then Obama. But looks like you are supporter of Obama and hater of like Clinton. Even though Clinton is winning on all issues and debate, you are not drawing that conclusion properly for the public.

Clinton was absolutely correct when she mentioned the fact that many endorsements will be coming, but the American people will ultimately vote for the candidate based on his or her own merits.

I want both of them. (Clinton\Obama - 08)

Yes, it is important to have an endorsement from a high profile person, but the Kennedys' are not "America's First Family" Ted is full issues like his past womanizing and boozing. Now he just a boozer…. His son is from my home state and he is not only a known as a boozer but narcotics user.

I for one would be glad to get that endorsement, but I would really be afraid of that Kennedy endorsement

I don't believe that for a second. She got killed on universal health care EXACTLY because she is a "fighter." There are two parties and fighting and battling isn't constructive to get anything done, especially like health care. Its hard to put the American people's interest first when the interests of the insurance companies come with campaign contributions and side business deals. You reach across the aisle for cooperation, you don't flip the bird across the aisle.

Thanks for your comments and "straight talk" on the debates and I agree that both of these candidates have the right vision - I believe I will vote for Obama due to his direct leadership from his experiences that I know of - like he says: "Washington has not sucked the political life out of him" and he has a powerful backing in the Democratic party and even stronger - I truly believe he WILL involve the American people as best the President can…

Jake - California

Clearly neither want to be seen as the "kid throwing sand" in the eyes of the other on the beach…making them the bully.

Worst debate I have seen yet. Just "him" and "her" trying to see who can be
nicer to the other one! So far, I have not learned one thing, except that I
deplore that these are the only two people representing a canidate for
president of the United States.

GO OBAMA!!!!! WE WILL NOT BE IN IRAQ FOR 100 YEARS!!! China, North Korea, The Big Al-Q … They're laughing at us.. while Iraq takes our money… We need to be clear and say ENOUGH IS ENOUGH…. … Make a plan.. and get our troops out… but take care of the those who were behind us and helped our troops!!!

My question for them both is : I'm a 26 year-old college student and my father is getting social security. I see my father hurting financially. How can you promise that I won't be hurting financially myself? What about social security for my generation? What about our education… what about my childrens?

Hillary's years of experience made her vote for the war. They both have the aptitute. That's what counts.

It takes a Clinton to clean-up the Bush mess - master stroke. That wins it for Hillary.

This experience debate needs to end. Clinton only has 2 years on Obama and if she's going to use her White House years, all the negative stuff should be up for grabs too.

Sorry, but you re wrong.

There are huge differences between Obama and President John F. Kennedy.

JFK i\wasa World War hero.

JFK was elected to both the House and Senate, and served a total of 14 years, compared to Obama's to 2 years.

Only then did he run for President. Obama

Bobby Kennedy's family praised Obama for his oratorical skills. But they endorsed Hilary Clinton for her "experience."

Obama's experience is no match for JFK's experience, or for HIllary Clinton's.

Democrats should working on plans for how to welcome all the new voters the Obama campaign has brought to the party - this is a huge opportunity to vitalize not just politics but citizenship and ownership of our political process and even stronger and better educated patriots. Whatever happens with the nomination, Obama's vision and message is bringing all these young people on board.

Hillary answers thispoint and hits a home run in tonights debate!
You go girl! You have shown America just how strong you really are!

I think a good question for everyone, especially Senator Clinton- is simple. How can someone use the great state of New York as a proverbial stepping stone to the White House? Essentially that is what happened. Former President Clinton was first the Governor of Arkansas. Once elected, both he and his wife moved to 1600 Penn Ave. After 8 years, the Clintons moved to New York. Why? The only reason Senator Clinton is a Senator from New York is because she had a weak Republican opponent who was virtually unknown to New Yorkers. Senator Clinton won a popularity contest in New York and another popularity contest for President is something we definitely do not need again (just look at Bush).

I find it interesting that Clinton and Obama, both Senators, are constantly touting 'change' and they have all of these great ideas that will turn America around. Yet they are both members of the greatest obstructive body in the world, the U.S. Senate, and the ideas are so great that they did not feel the urgency during their time in the Senate to try to bring this change about before that body.

Obama is correct on the demographics. It is this harsh reality that Clinton supporters must face. They are excellent technocrats, but not inspirational leaders.

i m a independent…clinton is sounding good,!

Does it really matter if Kennedy endorse Clinton or Obama ! Honestly I would not want Ted Kenndeys endorsement didn't he get away with murder ???? The point is that his indorsemnet did not judge the way I have decided to vote.

Niether Clinton nor Obama can beat Mc Cain by themselves. They need to run as aTEAM! Experience + youth = WIn WIN for the Democrats.
If either of them run solo, the next president of the US will be Senator Mc Cain!

I too would also like to vote for someone besides a Bush/Clinton family member as well. I am a Democrat, but I voted for George Bush the first time because Dukakis was not qualified! I am 40 years old and would like to see something other than Political Dynasties in my lifetime!

I have lived in Switzerland for 19 years and would like that when I finally return home , that its not the same ole' same ole' !!!

Exactly who let the republicans in congress in 96′ and who et up democrats to lose in 2000′ THE CLINTONS this why were here. However, while Ithought the 90's were great but Bill problems rallied the evangelical and republicans for BUSH post that! We dont need experience we need inspiration WE THE PEOPLE! OBAMA inspires the people to lead!

It doesn't take a Clinton to clean after a Bush if that entails runnig the Democratic party back into mud again.

I think Wolf Blitzer needs to stop trying to drag this debate into the mud

I totally agree with you 'a republican'

Obama is dodging the hard questions,[lack of expr obv],,,he must have rehearshed 1000 times before coming to the stage tonite

Most of us don't give a Rip that Obama had an endorsement by Ted Kennedy; he is not my role model and certainly most of us are free thinkers and don't need someone to try to compare Obama to a person he doesn't come close to.

Also, this attempt at swaying the younger generation toward someone closer to their age, is absurd.Talk about polarizing this nation!

Neither has the upper hand on military management. Although Clinton is willing to admit more real world gray issues in Iraq, e.g., the translators and Iraqi citizens who have sided with the U.S. and stand to lose their liberties or lives if we were to pull out as quickly and definitively as Obama suggests.
On another flank, Clinton is showing more personality… more of an approachable demeanor which shouldn't be underestimated as the two attempt to communicate their ideas.

Should ex felons be given the same chance as illegal immergrents ?
I would love to pay a fine to get my rights back .

Strength vs Strength . . please. Is it really important who indorses the canidates? I think that most Americans have a mind of their own and can clearly see who has real strength. She has been fighting the system for years.

Let's hear Obama speak to a specific issue and it's resolution. He looks like a rookie competing againgst a veteran!

Clinton's a blow hard. Taking up all the time and not saying anything substantive.

Bill,
We need wisdom, discernment and knowing what is appropriate in which time - Barrak has that ability consistently.

Haven't we had enough with bully tactics.
Bush and his Administration kept insisting they are David but are the size and stomping on Americans like Golithe.

JohnS:
Gender is OBVIOUS. How can gender (or race for that matter) NOT be brought in?!?!

hillary voted FOR THE WAR…. because thats what the polls said was a good idea…!!!

now the polls say to change her view…. r u people soooo short sighted???

Obama really needs to kick it up a notch. He has been given ample opportunity to really take on Hillary Clinton and her husband. He not once has stated that he has the judgment that she lacks, primarily regarding the Iraq war and the Patriot Act.

He could have stated that she authorized the President to use force without even looking at the intelligence reports or the resolution. I understand he is trying to keep it civil, however he can still attack her vote on this issue and drive home his judgement and her lack thereof.

Christine: What planet are you living on. One at a time baby. Take it easy.

ADMIT IT - YOU VOTED FOR THE WAR!

I wish the moderator would ask them both would they consider running as a team?

I agree, they would be UNSTOPPABLE

conciliatory or not obama continally shows a logic and thoughtfulness that is in stark contrast with Clinton s platitudinous tone

If the Clintons and the Bushs have to keep cleaning up after one another, god help us . . . Jeb Bush is waiting in the wings.

In Bill Schneider's opinion, what makes one "eloquent" and the other "polished"?
Please have him explain the difference and state specifically what each candidate said that led Schneider to this conclusion.

Um, maybe *you* hadn't heard of Obama before 2008, but a lot of people remember him from his national "debut" in 2004 at the DNC. Who'd heard of Bill Clinton before the lead-up to the '92 election?

Daryl.. it looks like you just showed up and learnt anout Obama.
Obama has been around for a long time .. you should read CNN more

Hillary is WINNING big time tonight

This is quite true. This obviously shows the characteristics of Obama as being such a straight shooter from the beggining of this campaign. He has always said that he wants to go head to head with the Clinton's without having to put down the other persons accomplishments and misrepresenting factual information incorrectly.

On a side note, if anyone has been watching this debate through the live sensor's, it is clear that before Hilary Clinton even starts talking her graph shoots up…. and the opposite for when Barrack starts talking. CNN are you 100% certain that these people are UNDECIDED? If so how did you go about choosing these people? I feel that this is an extremely important question since it makes a huge impact on the publics perceptions of the candidates.

Mellisa, Jeb Bush will never be president. I live in Florida… I saw the smoke and mirrors. Plus, he can't look you in the eye and he's a whimp. Also, his wife is a liar and thief… sounds republican huh?

Hillary is losing

Tha American people do not want to see a circus fight like the Republicans had yesterday. We want to see a debate on policy issues. So we would appreciate it if Wolf and the other moderators, not push the candidates into a cat fight. Why is it important for Wolf to point out to Hillary that there was a swipe against her or vice versa?

This email is for Hillary.

I am a republican and a woman, but will not vote for Hillary. I believe that the racial differences that she brought in during the campaign shows that she is not the right person for all American. We do not need a leader that divides. We need a leader that unites and who is proud of his uniqueness.

It is time for a change in leadership in the White House. Obama is the only one who fits that characteristic not a woman. We are not ready for a woman president yet.

How does Hillary feel about racial remarks?

It doesn't matter what HC says…the reality is that if she is the dem nominee, there will not be a democrat in office (every republican will come out to vote against her, I wish that was not the case). So if you want a democrat, and one that can unify and bring us all together, "Barack the Vote"!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

We love rookies. JFK was a rookie. Look what he did for the country. George W Bush was a vetran…look what HE did for the country

Obama is Ready! He seems to have put the experience question to rest. He is holding his own with both Clintons. He seems like a commander in chief! He is showing that judgment is very important.

SHE ACTUALLY CAN'T SAY THAT SHE IS WRONG

i think clinton could get things done in washington if she presents herself in washington the same way she is presenting herself now

Hillary is sucking wind. She needs to admit that she falls on the wrong side of history as it relates to authorizing GWB to go to WAR

I live in Illinois, where Obama has been a state senator before his current position. I am a political junkie, and Obama the state senator was not a big time player by any means. But his oratory skills at the Dem convention catapulted him to his current level of opportunity.

Why is Obama trying so hard to read Hillary's notes?

Daryl, are you nuts? Where have you been in the last few years? Did you miss the speech of the century by Obama? At the last Democratic Primary? He's been in top new mags over and over…..he's been out there and working and fighting for change for…in the public eye…for at least 4 years. Wake up….this is the force of change……why is Clinton given every opportunity to have the last word? Why isnt' this being mediated fairly?

Why wont she just answer a question. It is like football. Just run out the clock!!

Hiallry's smartness is unbetable. She is going to do immense good for this country. She's no hater of anyone even if she is a target of hatred by so many for nothing. I wish her well, because I know she's the best thing for this country and its future. Just try to sense her visions and appreciate the substance.

Ask Maxine Waters what she thinks about Obama's words of HOPE and read/listen to King's letter from the Birmingham jail and please you will never think Obama is liken to him. Stop doing that - King as a young man far out ways his views. Now you are falling into Wolfe's traps. NO YOU ARE TOO ARROGANT TO WARRANT MY VOTE. NEVER, NEVER, NEVER.

Hilary's health care plan failed in the 90's and will fail again. I dont quite understand why people think she will be successful now.

America has the best health care in the world already. We dont need the Democrats socialist plan.

Clinton is same old same old politics!

OBAMA IS A DIVIDER - I AM A BLACK FEMALE and had to fight to be called that - before you called me Black, you called me other things AND I BELIEVE YOU STILL CALL ME THAT IN THE PRIVACY OF YOUR HOMES and I feel Obama feels the same way. HE WILL NEVER GET MY VOTE.

Why is this called a Debate? It has been a Hillary Clinton Talk-A-Thon. Was that intentional?

I am a 56 year old African America and remember the Clintons in the White House. My economic then and now was never impacted by what the Clintons did. They state that every African American made $2500 more during their years of Administration. I argue against that because if their economic structure was so effective for African-Americans why did it not have lasting effect that improved overall education, income, and healthcare?

Beverly Chandler

Hillary got my vote,

What has Obama done that makes us know that he is ready to be president. He is a good orator but has said very little of what he would do. That old saying " the devil is in the details" comes to mind. Or as the lady in the ad said " Where's the
beef". Maybe in eight years!

Obama may have Caroline and Ted Kennedy on his side, but Hillary has the younger generation of Kennedy's on her side. I'll take the young, in-touch-with-reality Kennedys over the old-out-of-touch Kennedys any day!

And has Ted Kennedy ever supported a winning candidate - other than Bill Clinton?

It''sclear Hillary has been around much longer and can get the job DONE period.

Hillary is debating very strongly and she is clearly the WINNER

Obama really scored in the most recent comment regarding Iraq on being right from day one versus the Hillary experience argument.

Mr. Schneider,

You are obviously an Obama supporter. Shame on you for pushing your bias on others. Your network does this as well. I notice when the network has been having so called political experts talking about the two Dem candidates there are always two Hillary haters, Barrack lovers and no Hillary supporters. Could CNN be anymore biased. Are you trying to keep up with Fox News. It sure appears as such.

When it comes to healthcare, do you think Barrack would have had the guts to bring up the issue when it was so unpopular an idea. We wouldn't be having this discussion today if it weren't for Hillary.

Additionally, I wouldn't mind reaching back to the past. My life was the most prosperous during the Bill Clinton administration.

Susan, Tennessee

Thanks Wolf for the statement to Hillary. It takes wisdom and humility to say i made a mistake. If she is arguing that she was right why did she vote for a bill that states clearly that military action is to be taken against iraq? or does she not understand what that means? each time she tries to run away from the issue she ends up destroying her reputation more and more. we need a leader who can tell the american people i am human.
monroeville, PA

I like Wolf, but I really do not like the leading questions being asked the candidates to edge them into a mud slinging cat fight.

Maybe the republicans like to see that stuff. WE DON'T

Obama has been around since 2004…..perhaps you weren't paying attention.

Anyone who thinks Hillary is where she is because of her husband is advertising their own ignorance! Hillary was thought to be the woman most likely to become President when she graduated from college. Bill Clinton always gave her credit for being more qualified than he was.

Why are so many of you afraid to recognize that a woman can be smart and powerful in her own right?

It's time for the biggest change of all - a WOMAN president!

Why does Clinton go on and on and on. She is very good at dodging what she doesn't like and giving specific answers to only what she wants. She is just another leader who will not change anything. How can she when she is surrounded by lobbyists. Just because she is the loudest on the campaign trail doesn't mean she is the best. The only person who can bring the country together is Obama (maybe Huckabee, but he's not going to win). Even McCain is better than Clinton at uniting the two parties.

Hillary is the one who is spot on tonight. Obama only has the i didnt agree with the war thing - lucky for him that was one day he showed up and did not vote PRESENT.

He needs more time guys - were talking bout a guy in the senate only a couple yrs and thats it to run this country with sooooooooo many problems. hes a good guy just needs more experience.

Hillary is strong and poised and is thumpin this debate - look at the undecided voters lines - Hillary is ALWAYS above 70% and he stays at about 50%.

She is moving people tonight into her camp.

My vote is for Hillary.

If they are moving forward, why do they keep going backward with questions. At least Hillary has a past . Who really know Obama?

Obama is clearly the big winner in this debate!!!!

from new zealand i aplaud Barrack Obama, he has vision, sincerity and honesty,he cares about people, is very intelligent and well spoken, i believe he has the makings of greatness not seen in american politics for a very long time, people of america please embrace this young man, he is the man of the future, new ideas with commonsense, empathy with all that is needed, great strength of purpose, i am of an age that have seen many ,many, politicians come and go, some good some bad some mediocre ,this man has the stature of a brilliant world leader , he commands respect, he is a new coin minted for the future, God Bless America, sincerely e forrest new zealand.

Why has no asked Obama about his church that has a non-negotiable COMMITMENT TO AFRICA!! How does he explain this???

How many people heard of Bill before he took office? Let's answer this…which one thinks horizontal (right and left) or which one thinks vertical (learn from the past and change the future?

Looking back at when we were spinning our country to war Iremember watching CNN to see what the out come was going to be when it came to the vote on the Iraq war resolution. As a citizen it was very apparent what they were voting on. Go to war in Iraq or not. Obama makes a clear point about this. Was it a mistake or not Hilary? If so, live up to your mistake and how you will correct it.

you really think they would run on same ticket? After the obvious head turning on the Senate floor.

Go Obama~~ we need change, and Obama can make change, he has and very able to reach every young person in our great country.

Let me tell you this as an Irish man born and bred in N.Ireland. The Kennedy family fundraised and supported irish terrorists for years.So as far as I am concerned I am glad Clinton doesn't have any Catholic Kennedy endorsement.

I think this will be a great Slogan for Hillary. She said something like,
IT TOOK ONE CLINTON TO CLEAN OUT THE FIRST BUSH AND MIGHT TAKE ANOTHER CLINTON TO CLEAN OUT THE SECOND BUSH.

Bush was a rookie, well his son was. The whole Iraq war has been run horribly from the beginning.

Obama is not Presidential material.

Obama looks like an amature compared to Clinton . . he is too inexperienced.

Hillary is clearly the more experienced and poised candidate. After every encounter, every debate, I have to ask myself what it is that Obama is trying to say. So what if he can talk a crowd into a tizzy. I have horror visions of him being elected in the first day of office and saying, "What the heck do I do now?" Obama is Junior Varsity. He is not ready to lead this country in the next 8 years. He might be my candidate in 8 years, after he gains a bit more experience. If it comes down to Obama as the candidate, I fear that I, like thousands of democrats who have never crossed a party line in their life, will vote for McCain. For the sake of this country, don't let this happen.

What a great ending! And Hillary actually showed a sense of humor. It's going to be a difficult choice on Tuesday here in Illinois.

Look at Clinton's record over the last six years and look at Obama's. Go back and watch or read what has been said about them by the opposition in Congress. You would be surprised by the praises that Hillary has garnered by some of the most ardent Clinton enemies in Congress. Over the last six years she has earned their approval.

I find it very difficult to watch this debate with the obvious bias of Wolfe towards Obama. Wolfe's favoritism towards Hillary is sickening. How can you call this objective reporting?

I suspect that someone on the Clinton team has warned Wolfe in advance of the debate to go easy on Hillary .If I had been Barak Obama I would have challenged Wofe in front of the American public.

This was the the poorest moderation job of all the debates that I witnessed. Allowing one candidate to plug their campaign at the end of the debate was the icing on the cake.

Obama won this - hands down

Hi….
I am here in Panama watching all Presidentail candidates, of both parties talk on how they are going to solve all their problems and oviously I laugh……They apparently, up to now at least, suggest they will solve all……We here in the previous election heard exactly the same tune…..but the reality is another story. Anyway that´s not our problem so all I say is to all up north..good luck!!!!…..
What does worry me some is that none up there remembers who their neighbor is and what is going on down here…….Many of us are beginning to think that other forces years ago shouted that the North Americans just looked at us like stupid bannana republics and dum people to be used to your pleasure……Watch out, I certainly do not want to think of us all, after all, sitting with China, Venezuela, Iran and other dictator nations to survive and progress in the XXI century. The US used us much to their advantage, check history, will you be ready to confront a threath in your backyard due to closing your of eyes to your neighbors??? I doubht it. We leave in different times and there are no more bananna Republics left.

Hillary, you were clear and concise in detailing your solutions to very difficult problems. I salute both you and Obama to remain very civilized throughout the debate….but Blitzer, you called her NAIVE!! That will come to haunt you, when she is finally stepping into the Oval Office. Or maybe she is a forgiving type.
My vote goes to her! Her clean-up after Bush comment - priceless!!
