Do you want a President who did NOT find her voice until SHE was 60 years old?
What a manipulative female HIllary is!

I am a FEMALE who is older than Hillary and I will NEVER vote for her if she is the Democratic Candidate.

Vote for a President who is REAL and our HOPE for the future!
Vote OBAMA 08!

Hillary's town hall speech made two captives in the audience ILL! Just think what this witch will do if she gets elected. LMAO! No wonder we need health care!

She makes me sick and to think the election is not until November. I'm so sick of the very sight and sound of her. OMG every time you turn on the TV there she is in the phony shrilly voice pointing her finger and ranting and raving.

Concerned Voter,

I believe Ted Kennedy was speaking on behalf of Obama, and Oprah will be also. So whats your point? I would love to listen to Clinton speak anyday over the two of them.

GO BILL!! YOUR WIFE IS LEADING!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Bill Clinton go home.

Michelle Obama doesn't pretend she cares about whites in particular.

Bill is too old a dog to learn new tricks – how to be truthful.

Bill is better off keeping his promise to watch super bowl with Governor Richardson.
Informed Hispanics will work with Kennedy and Obama, not Clinton.
Don't be fooled again after seeing what the Clintons did to blacks.

Bush can speak fluent Spanish.
Can Hillary speak any Spanish?
She speaks the language of the lobbyists in D.C.
We will be nobody as soon as they are elected.

Doesn't this photo of Bill, with his pointed finger, remind us of the same pose when he stated, "I did not have s_ _ with that woman!"

Do your home work young people by reviewing the candidates campaign platforms, and you will support Ron Paul and Mike Huckabee. You will forget about Obama and Clinton.

Bill Clinton did nothing that was racist in SC or anywhere else. Anything he says critical of Obama, brings whines and cries of racism from Obama and the media.

The media has anointed Obama from the beginning and has done everything possible to present Hillary in the worst light possible. There is no way Obama or even the media can defeat her on the issues, so Obama and the media try to label her and her campaign as racist.

It is time for new leadership, and real change – a woman who is the smartest and most capable candidate running. The media elected George Bush (the most likeable candidate), whose inexperience and incompetence have resulted in the tragedy of failures in both Afghanistan and Iraq. I pray America has learned its lesson about being led by the nose.

This nonsense of "the Black Church" and "the Black Community" is a ridiculous farce. As an African American ex-Catholic, former Unitarian, and currently secular Zen Buddhist, I personally am not impressed by the Clintons' transparent exploitation of Black Christian fundamentalists.

Anyway Obama has Oprah to promote the race (being African American) factor, just in case Bill gains anything from the church tour. They said he is not black enough so he called upon Oprah to reenforce that. After tuesday he will go back to we are one people again. So stop complaining about Bill because you feel threatened for your candidate.

HILLARY is proven to help people so many years now. She doesn't just promise that.

HILLARY WILL BE THE PRESIDENT ON 2009!! IT IS GOOD TO START ACCEPTING THE FACT

GO BILL

GO HILLARY

IF BARRY WINS THE DEM. NOMINATION, THESE TWO LIFELONG DEMOCRATS, SON OF A TEACHER AND DAUGHTER OF AN AUTO WORKER WILL SWITCH OUR PARTY AFFILIATION AND PROUDLY CAST A VOTE FOR JOHN MCCAIN.

VOTE HILLARY. ITS IMPORTANT.

Obama stood alone when it came to the Irag war and he stood and still standing alone with little support of his wife and/or Oprah. Oprah is a idealistic and she believe in hope for every human being that's why people tune in every day. You Hillary supporter dislike Oprah because she's more stronger and more powerful than Hillary. i've seen more of Bill Clinton than I've seen of Oprah.

It's something sturring in the air and no status quo can stop it because people are tired of the same old thing where we are not getting anywhere in this country. I'm unemployed but I believe in Obama because when you bring change you bring on new ideas and when you bring on new ideas, you bring on deteremination that bring on accomplishments but you have to first dream and then vision on where you want to take this country and Obama has that. What has Hillary dream for this country rather than pointing out her main word that she has constantly used in all her speeches and debates……"I". But its about US and WE meaning the best interest for all gender and races rather than divided us among parties too. The world has tuned in AMERICA lets get it right this time because we're all God's children and he made US special in his own way. I'm tired of the division in this country and I want something new and more hope for our solider and our lives financial in this country.

The country needed a Bill after first Bush and needs Hill after second Bush. Go Bill & Hill

Hillary and Bill, the dynamic duo!!!!!!

I hope Super Tuesday hands Ophama a, "NO YOU CAN'T" "NO YOU CAN'T"

LOL, remember Iraq??? We haven't had a good day under BUSH!!!!

The pious Bill Clinton preaching to the black community. What a joke.

Obama (obviously) '08

I'm tired of the news media and others with this Obama stuff.

Black is played up by Michelle O. Saw her speech (Delaware)… I was 'a little black girl', blah, blah blah. If its not a racial race, keep it quiet Michelle.

Bill is touring because he wants to stay the first and only black president. dems please vote obama and end this joke

I'm sick and tired of folks trying to buy black voters by visiting churches..now they using the Lord's house to sell their stuff…they are 'BILL-ing' the priests and the congregation in a whole

I love the whole idea that people have that the Clintons can somehow save us. The funniest part of this being that you have Bill talking about of all things slowing down the economy in order to save the planet. Yes I realize this is Bill but as time has shown this is one wife and husband who tend to think alike. It is just too bad that the new and quite frankly damaged version of Bill has as much sense as a dog who likes to chase cars. I can only thank my lucky stars that Hillary made the mistake of using him to campaign for her and to help destroy her double digit leads since we don't need another divider in the white house.

Bill was able to "con" the Republicans and even lie, with some degree of innocence to this nation. I guess getting him back to the White House will be harder for the Republicans to ever catch him again; both Bill and Hillary now have the experience to "cover up" without ever being caught.

Conclusion: They have the Best experience; so the Dems should vote to get them back to the White House!!!

Hasn't the race card been played a tad too often? Can we not understand that Bill Clinton would not intentionally alienated a black voter? Do we not recall the diversity of his Presidential Cabinet? It was Nikki Giovani who had dubbed Bill the "president we've ever had"–clearly that was not a comment form a black woman about the melanin content in his skin–it was about his commitment to
equality.

When he spoke out loud and strong–as he should have–for equality, he received
the support of the black community.

Now that a "Brother" is running all he says is unforgiveable?

I'd take back the eight years of prosperity and budget's balanced –over these past eight years of unending war, dying American youth, devaluing of the dollar–and of each of our personal liberties…

But all of that is moot isn't it? Isn't Hillary running? OH yes…it IS!

In response to Richard Rote from california whose comment was..

Three words: The Starr Report.

What is your point about The Starr Report? Is that supposed to be something Bill Clinton or Hillary Clinton should hide from? The republican congress spending $70+ million dollars on an investigation that produced absolutely zero evidence of criminal activity so they were able to turn it into an investigation of Bill Clinton's infedelity. And because of it the entire country as well as the world was able to know that he cheated on his wife… That was money well spent.

Don't forget to think black and look black, Bill. And, for heaven's sake, don't fall asleep again! That was disrespectful.

When is the majority of Black America going to wake up……………………this couple is pure evil and counts on the fact you all can't see past this cult of personality. Many of us Latinos are guilty of the ignorance, but we are staring to see past the rhetoric and smoke screens the Clintons and their syncophants use to obtain the minority vote.

Wake up people!

THIS SHOWS THAT BILL CLINTON HAS FAITH IN AFRICAN AMERICAN VOTERS !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

They are about to rig this election. After this nobody will ever remember what happened. Even if Obama doesn't win, he tried anyway!

What happened in South Carolina was a pathetic politics of color perpetrated by Oprah and Obama.

Jesse Jackson is an authentic Black (unlike the biracial Obama) who got 55% votes in SC in 1988. Obama with Oprah got 57%. Al Gore got earlier 18% votes, but Hillary got 27% of the votes. Tell me who did better? Obama, or Hillary ? South Carolina Blacks always voted with their color. Oprah brought race/color into the mix.

Bill Clinton just mentioned the historical fact. But the press twisted it as a racial statement. He need not feel bad. Truly he has been working for Blacks for now 35 years in public life. Shame on Obama campaign to capitalize on the backs of Jesse Jackson.

The more Oprah and Obama play the race/color card, the main stream Whites will run away from Barack Hussein Obama Jr.

He wants to give driver's license to ILLEGAL immigrants, which encourages ILLEGALITY. This will again push the main stream law abiding citizens away from Obama. Beware.

Obama talks well, but talk is cheap. He is racial and manipulative. On Iraq war he was against in 2002, but from 2004 onwards he has been voting for war funding like most other Senators. He is a flip-flop, a double talker.

Vote for REAL Change, Real Experience. Vote For Hillary Clinton.

I now have two comments awaiting moderation . . .should I be supporting Obama to have my comments posted. Please advise.

hello > ron paul .. raised more money than all other rep candidates .

Bill Clinton is such a jerk. I regret I ever voted for him.

Obama is only good in rhetorics. He uses words that amused people, but without substance. He did not vote for the war because at that time, he did'nt have all the information that is needed. But many people during that time including me, would like to go on war. Please, this is not the real issue now, the real issue is a wider knowlege & wisdom on what to do now. And I think it's Hillary that have them. Obama is ideaistic, but what this countrey needs, is one who has the right gasp of reality. Wake up people! This is not a popularity contest.
Go Hillary, Go for it!

To Lorna I'm glad to see others are informed!!!!!

Leave it alone already…stop whinning about Bill. Your just jealous because she has the best endorsement anyone could have.

The genocide in Rwanda took place under Bill Clinton presidency; even as the United Nation pleaded with him to send troops to Rwanda, he refused, turning instead his attention to Eastern Europe.

Atleast Hillary has a former president campaigning for her and not a talkshow host.

Bill, we love you!

While your villifying Bill and Hillary…how do you explain Michelle Obama sitting on the board of TreeHouse Foods, Inc., a company that pays its top execs millions a year while the company lays off 100s of low paid minority workers in economically depressed areas…and by the way…their #1 customer is Wal Mart..

Bill did so much for the Balcks and he is still very much beloved by brothers and sisters, Obama people play the racial card won't succeed in Golden state.

I would rather have Bill Clinton as a White House advisor to Hillary Clinton than to have Oprah as an advisor to Obama.

Everyone knows it was the media who played the race card, and it was Obama who allowed it to get blown out of porportion. The Clinton are not now, and have never been racist. Do your homework. Clinton's policy's during the 90's benefitted most of you complaining today. Stop the gossip and trying to mislead the public.

Hillary Clinton is the best choice for all of America.

Gooooooooo

Obama 2016!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It amazes me how everyone not for Hillary is opposed to Bill campaigning for her. Although they find nothing wrong with the spouses of the others campaigning for their husbands. Is this gender bias?

WAKETHEHELLUP I JUST READ YOUR COMMENT EXCELLENT YOU ARE RIGHT ON TARGET THANKS FOR POINTING MY SAME FEELINGS YOU SAID IT ALL VOTERS BETTER WAKETHEHELLUP

"It took a Clinton to clean up after the first Bush, and it might take another one to clean up after the second."

How quickly we forget that the Clintons stayed out of sight during Al Gore's campaign because they were considered a liability. It took a Clinton to leave the White House door open for a Bush to get in again.

It took another Bush to make the Clintons look good again.

Women run their homes, women give birth – so why not a women for PRESIDENT. Who better to go in there and clean up after Bush. Her husband did it and she will tooooooooooooooo

GO HILLARY

YOU HAVE MY VOTE

AND I AM A MAN

The Clinton's are the only ones that will get us out of the mess we are in. Wake up and remember the money we all had during the Clinton years. Vote your pocket book. VOTE HILLARY! Or else sit in the unemployment lines and watch your IRA's and 401K's reduce to nothing. You all know what I say is true.

We are all forgetting that Obama is also a career politician. Have you guy's ever wondered why he is calling for change. Because he is converting his weakness into his strength. He obviously doesn't have the experience compared to Hillary and hence this marketing spin from him. We are interested in what thier positions are and what they would do as a President. We never hear the what from Obama, it's always the how – the philosophical spin. And one more thing, how is his voting record different than Hillary's. When you don't have to make a yes or no decision on the floor of the Senate, you can take a moralistic view of the issues like he did on the Iraq war. Once in the senate he voted just like Hillary.

as ablack african american woman(educated and a professional) i applaud the 1st black president(a title he got for his dedication to the plight and welfare for blacks) for a return visit. it is sad that we call on God's name and sing loud the most but yet so hateful and ungrateful. according to janet jackson's song WHAT HAVE YOU DONE FOR ME LATELY obama.but istead you allowed my poor black to suffer in chicago while you and your buddy resko made money.
i refuse to join the dead fast train going nowhere to please obama and upset my God.
i will vote for hillary for her dedication and many years of service which has now prepared her to be the next president of our great and troubled nation

obama trying so hard (and will do anything to be elected. i look back and i don,t see any picture of obama in any civil right march, up on till now he thought he was better than a black brother(you know half black) but suddenly is a brother just to use us.

here is my advice to all the black who say, we want a black president (which i agree) and also who are asking for a change(i agree too) and a need a uniter(which i dont believe obama is one) look at your life now and then ask yourself if i have a person(as in hillary and bill) who has in the past fought for me why vote for one who has done nothing in past to help my people.

so i simply ask that you do the right thing by God and be there for one who has been there for you before which Hillary.

so bill fel asleep(while mayor shirley franklin showed her disrespect to MLK by using the podium to say angry words at bill) the body gets tired so accept that.

come tuesday vote for the one who can get us moving again toward prosperity by her experience and life dedication to this country and all VOTE HILLARY

SOME OF THE DEMS, like the Clintons, NEVER LEARN FROM THEIR MISTAKES!!!

I really believe that it is going to take the active support of Hillary for the DEMS to lose the White House again; Remember Gore and Kerry? How short minded can the Dems really be in this nation. Gore and Kerry (each a stronger candidate than Hillary) were the "accidents" of the Clintons– The Dems lost each time!!!!!

Currently, the Dems are celebrating the "huge number of voters" out there for them because of the Independents (like myself), moderate Republicans, and young voters that have been brought onboard by Obama. Let us wait until the Dems put up Hillary as the nominee and the "voting pool" will run dry!!

This is yours Dems to lose again; it always takes the Clintons for the Dems to lose the White House or to deal with issues of moral corruptions!!!

WISE and Intelligent Dems should simply stay AWAY from the Clintons; they are the source of "curse" for the Dems!!!!

No Clinton, not even Bill, can ever restore the ECONOMIC fortunes of the past; indeed, the conditions of the past (e.g., Internet bubble) that made that happen are simply NOT there today. The Clintons burnt their bridges BEFORE they left (in disgrace) the White House!!! And guess what? Hillary has been making stronger enemies since!

i would expect him to speak on behalf of his spouse. and he is a former president, so gosh, he is qualified. tell me again, how is Oprah qualified to speak on Obama's behalf? because she's, ahem, black? and ahem, ahem, the richest woman in the country? come on–it's so obvious, it's sickening, what CNN and the rest of the media is doing here. America, please be an intelligent voter. don't just vote for someone because they're charming, look good and idealistic. This isn't MTV or American Idol. We've made this mistake so many times. Hillary Clinton is THE ONLY ONE qualified for this job. This is coming from a long-time Republican.

How is Hillary going to fix health care?

The same way that we will pay for staying in Iraq for the next "100 years……

Here we go one idiot asking for you to vote for another one let's see he can't pratices law because he lied under oath. Hillary would be the last person I would vote for she has lied too many times and always points the finger at someone else. When Bill didn't run for governor Arkansas to make a run for the white house Hillary wanted to run until she found out no one would vote for her and slick willie couldn't help. I heard she for the working man what a joke she wants to put them in the poor house she has done nothing for labor other than let jobs go over seas. This woman couldn't manage her family Bill was always running around and her statement she didn't know was a lie until the law suits.

WHY CANNOT 'BILL' CLINTON KEEP HIS NOSE TO HISSELF? LET HILLARY DO HER OWN CAMPAIGNING AS OBAMA HAS. LER HER RUN ON HER OWN MERITS, AS HIS WASN'T SO HOT IN THE WHITEHOUSE FOR HIS TENURE.

I think Bill Clinton has all the right to campaign for his wife just like Obama being campaign by Oprah, Kennedys' and his wife Michelle. Are we just too biased on Obama??? With our economic situation right now, I think I would rather vote for Hillary than anybody else. She knows the job how to get it done.

Hello Keep up the good work Bill Hillary is my choose.Marion

I think Obama will take care of Black side America that has been forgotten for a long time. It is time and can never be right than this!

It is Obama time! Fool me once……

Listen Bill is getting unnecessary and biased coverage because CNN is doing so. Have you noticed how they barely cover Hillary's town hall meeting or her campagin stops? Seriously CNN is so biased in favor of Obama that they willing to go the distance and paint the picture that Bill is running for office which he is not. Secondly they are making it seem as if he is trying to make it up to black people or that he is some racist whom is trying to trick and pander to black folks which none of these things Bill or the Hillary camp has stated that he is doing.

This is a joke CNN and you guys are buying this crap. You are drinking the kool aid that CNN is selling you that the Clintons are bad, that Bill is running for office and is a bad person and that the Clintons are racist. THey haven't even bothered covering the campaign speechs or tours that Hillary is doing. WHy not? You really have to wonder why the media is trying to demonize Hillary to us. I've already stopped buying into all of these because it's becoming way to biased. I like both candidates but it is clear CNN just doesn't like Hillary for some reason and that Obama makes good headlines. CNN has already picked our democractic nominee for us: Obama

If it is like this now, it boggles the mind to think what it might be like if the fairy tale come true.

Obama's church is telling their members to NOt buy from Walmart and Sam's Club. What's with that? I have many friends and family members who work for Walmart. I also depend on walmart because of their low prices.
Hillary has been and will always be a friend to the black people. Look at her record for God's sake.
The media are the ones who turned this into a racial race. We seem to forget that Obama is first a man……I am sick of the politics of "men." I will be proud to vote for the FIRST WOMAN President!!

concerned voter,
Well, you know even though Hillary is great and the best candidate for the job, even she can't be everywhere. All candidates have spouses and families and they do a lot of campaigning for them so please if you are goinig to disagree with Hillary that is fine but do it on something of substance and not the fact that her family is helping her!

This sort of political pandering is exactly why we need Obama. If you really want to see a democrat win in November, you need to vote Obama Tuesday.

Bottomline: Hillary CAN'T win in November. There's a large number of independents that will vote for Obama but will either stay home or vote republican…….

Once again he is making race an issue. Tour of African American Churchs, major media coverage… he is reprehensible. And so is She.

Once again he is making raise an issue. Tour of African American Churchs, major media coverage… he is reprehensible. And so is She.

Why is Bill Clinton taking the attention of the media again? He had his 8 years and should let his wife have her turn now and stop being so greedy. It is not as if he is helping her; he keeps stirring the situation up between Hillary and Barack Obama.

It's funny, watching the man formerly known as "America's first black president" scrambling around for support after getting his "black card" revoked. Sorry, Bill. You got to be president once already, and screwed it up. Pandering to us black folk won't change that…

So why are we still expecting the "BLACK" vote to go to the Clintons? If Bill was such a great "BLACK" president, how come the Blacks are still complaining about their situations? Just what did Bill do for them in his 8 years in office? How about 40 years of "TEDDY" in the Senate…if these liberal politicians are so admired in the BLACK community, I'm still wondering just what have they accomplished for the "BLACK" people? The "BLACK" community stil rants about inequality, economic oppression, lack of job skills and training for "BLACK" youth etc… if we are still suffering with these problems, 42 years after the civil rights ligislation,just what has the liberal democratic party accomplished over their last 4 decades in power? NOTHING>>>that's right>>NOTHING has been done. The Clintons believe that the "BLACK" vote belongs to them! WHY? All they have done is pander to the Black leadership…and that's about it. Time to say goodbye to all liberal hot-air blowhards who talk a great game, but still can't deliver the results.

Isn't it amazing how the "do-gooders" scream about separation of church and state but no one is saying anything about the Democrats (Bill, etc.) doing all the campaigning from Churchs….speaking from the altars and pulpits.

The crazy vehemence in comments in these blogs and all over the web really makes the option of commenting a pretty useless endeavor.

So many people with such clear 'anti-something' agendas and overwrought, hysterical hatefulness in the commenting…. for me, is devaluing the usefulness of reading the comments, and certainly discurages the impetus to engage in discussion.

How can anyone take the majority of these comments seriously? How can anyone really engage with so many extreme wing-nuts in a meaningful discussion?

I constantly read about Bill Clinton's connection to the Black community and how much he did for it as president. Sadly, I'm uninformed. What exactly did President Clinton do for African-Americans in a real, tangible way? I know about his welfare reform and helping people to break free from government dependency. What else was there?

Another question, albeit off topic. Remember the news reports of his reading over 300 books a year? That's quite a figure! I'm an avid reader, but even without the hectic schedule of a president, cannot come close to that number. Does anyone happen to know where a list can be found of those book titles (from any given year during his presidency)? Now that he's back front and center, I'm trying to sort through some of this again. Thanks!

hillary we know your game. bill sorry, it is too late. bill and hillary have exploited the african american community for too long. It is time for a change.

I wish they will just go away.

valerie

What a joke comparing Michelle to BIll. Comparing a hospital admin to one of the greatest presidents our country has ever had.

Bill Clinto has as much right to be on the campaign tours as Michelle Obama, Cindy McCain, Mrs Romney, Mrs Huckabeer, etc. I think the racial overtones are exagerated. Seriously, what I find disturbing is the media tell people how to react on Mr. Clinton's remarks. But of course, black people will also place the race card at their own convenience even if a remark was acceptable a second ago.

Good for Bill Clinton – he should be out and about and helping Hillary. Why is it okay for Obama to have Oprah out for him when she is so powerful – I am thinking this is kind of not playing fair, I think all people who go out and vote should really take a good look at the record and public service and listen really good to how this person is going to run the government – talk is cheap – it is also easy to criticize the other when you were not part of it (Hillary voting for the war – Obama did not have a vote or who knows what his would of been. Put him in the same position as Hillary with the same inside information she was given he might of done just like she did. Don't see anything wrong with Bill Clinton going out campaigning for Hillary and Mrs Obama is able to do the same if she wants. Go Hillary

Oh yes, another "I did not have sexual relations with that woman" moment.

Bob, great COMMENT! I wholeheartedly agree with you. Unfortunately, Afircan American haven't realized that Bill Clinton inner circle was NOT African Americans, they were white men. Why do we continue to let the Clintons (Dems) pull the wool over our us! This is disgusting and disgraceful.

WHEN THE CLINTON'S SAY THEY WILL DO SOMETHING TO FIX THIS COUNTRY THEY WILL OR SHE WILL BECAUSE THEY DONE GOOD FOR THIS BEFORE IT WAS PROVEN,SIGN SEAL AND DELIVER.OTHER PEOPLE PROMISE CHANGE IT CAN GET FROM BAD TO WORSE BE CAREFUL OF WHAT CHANGE OBAMA TALKING ABOUT. THIS IS TOO BADLY OFF RIGHT NOW TO TRUST ANYBODY ELSE TO RUN THIS COUNTRY.ONLY CLINTON

Whatever! You're not going to tell me just anything and I'll believe you Bill. What an idiot! What he said in S.C. he really believes. That what is said behind our back sometimes. I hope the African-American community that he's going to see can see through his B.S.

Sorry Bill ! what is done is done,,,,,,,,,

Too bad you try to read something into every thing Bill does, while at the same time you praise Michelle Obama. Your bias is so obvious!

Sorry, Bill, we already know how you REALLY feel.

The Clintons will do anything, say anything that they think will help Hillary get elected.
Time for the status quo to come to an end and that means no more Clintons in the white house.

Bush-Clinton-Bush-Clinton? Is that change? I think not.

It's time for REAL change, it's time for Obama!

I don't really think who campaigns for who is the issue. But I think Bill Clinton disappointed a lot of folks in South Carolina and they let him know with the way they voted. The Clintons are not stupid; the politics they used in South Carolina were insulting. For whatever reason, they think that the black community there owes them something. They do not. Everyone keeps saying all the great things they did specifically for African Americans. What in the world did they do? Secondly, if you are going to try to debunk your opponent on the theory that his ability to speak and inspired is not enough, and that "it takes a president to get it done," that is fine. But own the consequences of your own words. That was said to people, a good number of whom were alive at that time and were in those streets getting beat up, intimidated, and watching friends and family pay the ultimate price. Whether that statement is technically true or not, the fact is, it offended those people and many others who know they have the opportunities they do because King understood that you have to get people involved to make a change and you must inspire them to influence them to get involved. Mr. Johnson did not do that. Any moron would know that making those statements is going to draw criticism. It was deliberate. So whatever the Clintons "did for blacks," they just undid in that moment. The message went forth loud and clear that, we will use blacks to make our opponent look too black (like Al and Jesse), scare whites out of voting for him, and then, will expect you to vote for Mrs. Clinton. It was a stupid strategy, it worked to some degree, but hurt more. What the Clintons did not expect was for the people, largely poor, largely not college educated, to be smart enough to understand what had happened. They were. So I say to Bill, there is no need to go apologize for you and Hillary's true colors. It is obviously not sincere anyway, and everyone can do without it. Just learn that when you do something, be a man and stand up and own it.

Obama, Rezko. LOL.

OK, so he played the political game in SC, that doesnt make him a racist people…as to the the person who said Bush has hired more minorities…that may be true, however, to the effect that that too was political positioning….what has he done on things like workplace discrimination and affirmative action.

If blacks turn away from Bill on a few comments, I should turn my head from Barack who has alluded to black comments of his own….

Two “prominent politicians” will join him. I wonder who they might be? One of the officials has described it as Clinton’s “mea culpa tour” to the black community. Shame on you, Bill Clinton. Double shame on the officials in Los Angeles. Unless he’s going there to worship, send him packing. Please don’t use the church for last minute campaigning before Super Tuesday. Surely African Americans won’t allow themselves and their Church to be used in this fashion. Clinton has already said everything he needs to say. He said it in South Carolina and she allowed Bob Johnson to say it for her.

I would just like to say that I am proud of Hillary and I know that she is going to make a great President just like her husband.

Hillary and Bill have been standing up for civil rights for a combined 60+ years! Don't allow the media to try to re-write their positions and achievements.

I would like to say that Obama ran a well-fought campaign and that America should be proud.

It is my hope that Hillary Clinton will select Senator Obama as her VP running mate… insuring that the next 16 years will be a time period that our country will be prosperous.

This election is not about gender or race. We need to stop zeroing in on pigmentation and gender and find the issues and substance that we can all agree or at least compromise on.

And for anyone wanting to bring up the scandals of the 90's… The Republican Party SPENT MILLIONS of TAXPAYER's MONEY on going after the Clintons… and all it resulted in was NOTHING! What is sad is the day that the media was airing the taping of the Grand Jury Testimony that President Clinton was giving a speech on terrorism at the U.N. … 3 years later we had 9/11. So please lets FINALLY start getting our priorities straight and maybe, just maybe, we save innocent lives this time.

Clinton/Obama '08

I never heard of the term called "street money" until last week on an ABC morning show. Apparenltly this is when politicians pay reverends to swing their church congregation support to them. What a joke? And when the congregation gives their voting support to the poitician guess what they get in return? Zilch, nada, nothing. Ever wonder why black neighborhoods like Harlem, Watt, etc look the same way for years(trash, crime, drugs, etc)? Because politicans and reverends like Butts, Rangel, etc sell us out. I am really beginning to think black people need to register independent and wait until November and see which party is serious about helping the community.

Funny how Slick Willy is only going to black churches.

Also, what does it matter if "half the youth are also women," vic? Are you suggesting that women, young and old, shouldn't be able to chose, but should only vote for a woman because they are of the same gender?

Please, don't get so caught up in the fact that there is a woman running for president. As great as it may sound in your head or the way she puts on a show, I can tell you that it will not be that great when/if she does move back into the White House. America will most definitely be the same as it is now. Hillary does not want to bring "Red" and "Blue" America together. Anymore it seems like she doesn't even want men and women living together, look at all the women and the women groups (NOW in New York State) saying how it's not right for a woman not to back the woman candidate or that Ted Kennedy endorsed Barack Obama instead of the woman. It's ridiculous!

America, if you don't want the same old crap that we've had for the past 20 or so years, let's be for real change!

Obama '08

All you bunch of losers! Hypocrites! Ingrates! and NAIVE!

"I will bring Change to America….Hope is back…bla bla bla…"
Yeah right, change is only a word if its not backed by action. 3 years in the senate qualifies Obama for the highest office in the US? I think not. There is no time for "on the job training" we need a LEADER that is a DOER not a TALKER. You all say Bill Clinton is a charlatan? Please, get off it! And isn't Obama one? What are his plans to solve america's problems and are they realistic? It's time to stop dreaming and get back to REALITY. Fool is he who lives in the world of dreams. and no for all you "don't mess with MLK" this is not a racist comment. But now a days everything is racial with the African Americans….slavey is over and it has been. You are were you are because you choose to be.

To my "dawgs": don't bite the hand the feeds you.

Are you kidding me? Who IS this source? The Clinton's have done NOTHING for Black Americans. They are part of the problem. The keep Blacks exactly where they want them…in poverty expecting payouts from the government. This is totally BS!

the clintons have done more for black people in the last few decades than obama has ever done in his lifetime. but of course, black people forget easily. (must be the 40oz)

never forget!

I just hope Hillary wins on Tuesday. I can't stand what the media is doing. The media have ganged up against Hillary, like vic said. Go Hillaryyyy!!!!!!

What are the Obama supporters afraid of – doesn't having Bill Clinton stumping for Hillary just add to the media bias against her – Me thinks you all doth protest too much – and I still can't get over all of the hate towards her – I guess it's all of that "youth" vote that's coming out for Obama – notorious for yapping off, nortorious for being lazy and getting nothing done – that is the reality of most youth today!

PRES. CLINTON IS VERY POPULAR HERE IN CA. AND HAS EVERY RIGHT TO CAMPAIGN FOR HIS EQUALLY KNOWLEDGEABLE AND CAPABLE WIFE, HILLARY. NO ONE IS PERFECT – WE ALL COMMIT MISTAKES. I CANNOT HELP BUT SAY THAT SOME OF MR. OBAMA'S SUPPORTERS ARE VERY MEAN-SPIRITED. LET US DISCUSS ISSUES AND AVOID PERSONAL ATTACKS.

I hope this is soon to be followed by the Wolf Blitzer mea culpa tour for making a reference to Hillary Clinton being "naive".

I hope that Lou Dobbs does the same for calling all Americans "stupid".

I find it really disturbing that these pro-Obama people so vicious about the Clintons, when the actual positions and tactics of Clinton and Obama are so similar. Bill being on tour is somehow terrible, but Michelle Obama or Oprah doing the same is just fine? Huh?

Obama's doing a pretty good job at staying above the fray, of not being petty and putting out baseless attacks. Not so of his followers!

Reminder for those who do not know, you can find ALL of the candidate's issues at their websites.

The ticker is just for recent news of the trail.

It is an insult to all of us if the thinks that he can just go and try to right what he has blatantly done. It is indeed offensive. The Clintons thought and done wrong when the took the African American votes for granted. Don't keep on repeating what the Clintons have done for us. When he took the oath, he swore to do all he could for the country. It was his solemn responsibility. No one is stopping him from campaigning, but do not try to cover past misdeeds. We have had enough cover-ups to last more than a lifetime already.

This is no different than Obama using the power of Oprah Winfrey to engage his supporters. In the end neither Bill, Oprah or any of the recent endorsement will help Hillary or Obama win the nomination. People are smarter than the media gives them credit for. We as Americans will vote for who we think will solve the problems that we face. Go Hillary!

Hillary is campaging and she needs help the same as Obama, his wife is helping him along with Oparh, Carolyn, etc. What is wrong with Bill helping is wife, is that was spouses do. Hillary and Bill have done a lot for the African-American's, (I wish we could just say Americans, after all that is what we all are.
Go Hillary 2008.

This is what I've been saying all along. Bill rips blacks and a viable black candidate and now wants to apologize. What a rat. If he didn't mean to offend black people then he shouldn't have made those comments.

Bill Clinton….what a shameless narcissist! Hillary isn't much better. America deserves better…A LOT BETTER!!! I'm tired to seeing them manipulate the American people for their self-serving ends. Vote Obama 08.

I cant under stand how America can be so bitter over a Lady running for the number one job ?

The "audacity of arrogance!" So, the Senator from Illinois really believes that all of us who have worked for, campaigned for, and sent money to Hillary 2008 will back him without even the courtesy of his "making the ask?" It is a bit like the guy at a family gathering who announces to everyone that he and his girlfriend are getting married, before he has bothered to ask his girlfriend. She might still say yes, or she might storm out and never speak to him again.

Instead of uniting the country around a common theme of "hope for the future," Obama seems to be dividing his own party with his arrogance., and destroying the chance for any democrat to succeed in 2008. (Anyone remember what happened in 1988? 1968? History does tend to repeat itself!!)

People make me sick, talking about how Bill Clinton is doing Hillary Clinton's work. Can we just give Hillary Clinton a little more respect. She has clearly stated her positions and policies, unlike Obama. This is just Obama supporters hating! I will be so glad when the democratic nomination goes to Hillary Clinton, so everyone can eat their own remarks! Go Hillary!

The concept that Bill Clinton can just show up to big black churches, spout some fancy rhetoric, and supposedly turn votes around is a joke. People should have more pride in themselves and value their vote more.

The combination of Hillary and Bill is like shooting yourself in the foot. No, matter who is running for office they are not on the same page..

SENATOR HILLARY DIANE RODHAM CLINTON FOR PRESIDENT 2008!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Bill has the right to campaign. What about Michele Obama, Caroline Kennedy. Ted Kennedy all over the place. Nobody complained. And worst of all Opprah Winfrey that is not a political figure and it s going to use her celebrity status. Obama supporters can not see anything wrong with him. You will be really surprised if you think he will be able to deliver all these promisese and suddenly America will be a paradise. Get real and vote for the best person regardless of gender and race. If Obama was white nobody was paying attention to him. Look what happenned to John Edwards. He was the first one to talk about change, poverty,inequality etc. Unfortunately he was a white male.

Once again the media is distorting the facts just to get viewers. Bill Clinton is campaigning on behalf of Hillary just as Michelle and Opera are for Obama. Not to mention that Magic Johnson himself is also campaigning for Hillary. No news coverage on that because it doesn't pit 1 against the other.

Bill Clinton is merely campaigning to the minorities in California while Hillary goes and campaigns in some of the other Super Tuesday states.

Those of you like "Bob" who think he's trying to make up for something, or that it has to do with race, are nothing more than hypocrits. I don't expect this comment to be posted but o well.

Bill Clinton did more for the minorities than either the 2 bush's, carter, reagan did. Why do you think the Clinton's are so well known. The reason for South Carolina was because the media, AND the nominee's played on race. Pitting race against race, gender against gender.

Wake up, and vote for the most qualified

Im confused??? So its OK for Oprah, Ted and Caroline and HIS WIFE to do the same thing but for her husband to do it its wrong???

Obama 'fans" need to grow up.

Any comment former Predident makes is big issue. What is wrong if he is campaigning for his wife?. I think he is doing the right thing.

if oprah
kennedy

caroline
michelle obama
kerry

can campaign for obama ,,then its fair for hillary to have people campaign for her too

Go Obama…..
Hillary and Bill can take all there lies and deceit elsewhere. We don't
believe them anymore.

A lie gets halfway around the world before the truth has a chance to get its pants on.
- Sir Winston Churchill (1874-1965)

You know, this happens every campaign, using childish reasons for voting one way or another. For instance, what qualifies Obama fot the Kansas vote just because his mother was born there.? I watched him on a stop in kansas. He sat there and said, "I feel like I'm home." He never lived there, so, why lie just for votes? We are being fed so many childish reasons and NONE of them make good reasons to elect a president. We allow ourselves to be brainwashed, then sit around and moan for four or eight years when we have chosen the wrong one. Remember how Bush said he didn't believe in Nation Building? What the heck has the war in Iraq been all about if not Nation Building. We were after the real culprit, Bin Ladin, he was never in Iraq. He was the one that attacked us, not Sadaam. We are in the mess we are because we believed a lot of lies instead of thinking for ourselves. Okay? So! Here we go again! Believing more spoonfed made up stories to get elected. Do your homework. Let's elect this president on intelligence this time. Another mistake may doom this nation. We are already on our knees. Why not make these candidates understand we will not accept childish reasons to turn on one candidate or another, or vote for them. Make them understand we want GOOD, INTELLIGENT reasons and NOTHING less!

If you don't think Bill Clinton did anything for black people, don't expect anything grand from Barack Obama. Politicians are politicians, regardless of color.

Bill Clinton does not need to do a mea culpa tour. There's nothing to apologize for. He did nothing wrong. His comments were taken out of context and uninformed people got upset.

Bill was a great president. He raised the minimum wage, reformed welfare and created policies that helped the economy flourish. I know some African-Americans are upset about welfare reform, but it needed to be done. Welfare was a horrible crutch and it's time was up.

That said, Bill is not running for President. He is campaigning for his wife and there is nothing wrong with that.

I am a twenty-something, African-American woman from Illinois and I totally support Hillary Clinton. She has the experience and the toughness to clean up Bush's mess.

I am so tired of the Clintons!

Where it the separation of church and state. I guess it is it OK if you are campaigning? Is it a conditional separation of church and state when it is to your personal benefit?

Obama's camp is spamming email addresses with insider information as to who's name is on an account! Who is selling this information to them?

Oh good, I hope he says something stupid. That always helps OBAMA. Oh yes, of course he'll say somthing stupid. STUPID IS AS STUPID DOES.

OBAMA IN 08.

So let me get this straight..Oprah, Ted, Caroline, McCaskill and don't forget HIS WIFE are all out on the road campaigning for him, but that OK and if he goes out for HIS wife then it's WRONG???

You Obama people need to wake up!!

Billy Boy, go home. Are you running for President, or is Hillary?

Can't tell.

Bill Clinton can do a "black church tour" but Obama and Oprah are attacked for coming together? How does this make any sense? It's sad to say, but I think America is still so much more racist than it will admit. Bill Clinton started the race politics, now he wants to say it was all Obama's fault and his wife was just "attacked." Get out of here. And further- STOP CHANGING INTO YOUR SOUTHERN TWANG just because you are around black people! So disingenuous.

Well, shucks, y'all. Slick Willie is just splainin to folks how his estranged wife is just as black as he used to be, er,,,,, still is. I'm sure there are probably some folks who will believe it too.

hopefully ol bill dosent doze off again in the middle of the sermon! look it up on youtube or something. he was so blatantly bored. it was kinda insulting.

Agee with Vic

No difference between Bill campaigning and Michele campaigning.

Hilliary has to beat the media along with Obama.

Go Hilliary

No difference between Bill campaigning and Michele campaigning.

Go Hilliary

OK Bill, people go to church to listen to the word of God,please I beg do not take a nap when the word is being preached.

The Clinton's have been involved in improving our country for decades. Do you really think they will stop now!? Look how many programs and humanitarian causes Bill has been into. These two are the real deal. To question their integrity at this time is to try an create drama and headlines. Bill has every right to campaign for Hillary , just as Hillary had every right to champion her causes as first lady.

Bill Clinton just does not get it, all those black leaders who are with him will not vote for Hillary when they go into the voting booth.

Once you've sold your soul, can you ever get it back?
Or do you have to live with the deal you've made?

Who is Barack Hussein Obama? Most Americans and even many Democrats
never heard of him a year ago! How can it be that some are considering him
for President? He a junior Senator from Illinois, who hasn't even
completed his first term. What is the matter with these people?
He has very little substance and he reminds me more of a "preacher"
than politician! Everyone wants a change, well he doesn't offer it. We would be
going from one inexperienced President to another!

Hillary Clinton is extremely intelligent and well versed on every
aspect of government. She will be a true change from the
inadequate leadership that we've had these past dismal 7 years!

Vic, it isn't about gender or race. It is about (1) who could win (Hillary will unit Republicans) and (2) who would be the best President (Obama can unite and lead while Hillary will guarantee 4 or 8 more years of political gridlock and real or fabricated scandals). The United States has bigger problems than whether the "media have ganged up against Hillary". Let's hope women and others think about who would really be the best President of our troubled country.

Wow! The Clintons are sure working hard in Carlifornia. What's the big deal…didn't Hillary just have that all wrapped up after she deserted the South Carolina voters?

Hmmmm. Oh…I get it . Obama is really gaining ground and in California too.

Robin:
or Maybe….. he just might do a great job. Cut the guy some slack, he has speaking skills you will never have.

all we ever hear from the clintons are lies. lies, lies, Wake up America, they are the most power-hungry couple, if there ever was one, they think they own America, with their slick willy soundbytes, it will take an obama presidency to rid America of these two power hungry, dynasty families, its time to move forward America, and time to vote for someone other than a bush or clinton, im sick of it!

The idea of Bill Clinton doing a 'tour' of 'Black' churches makes me laugh! What's next a tour of 'Latino' churches and 'Asian' churches.
He should be doing a tour of churches that have a 'mixed' congregation to show that he believes in a 'united' people.

And how often does he attend service at a 'black' church when he is not out campaigning?

Past vs. Future
One UNITED States of America

All Obamacans – Be sure to VOTE!

Barack Obama made the statement in campaigning the other day that he was more electable because Hillary Clinton supporter will vote for him in the general election if he becomes the Democratic nominee but that the Barack Obama supporter will not vote for Hillary Clinton if she is the Democratic nominee.

Well unless he retracts that statement immediately in this fast paced election, for this Hillary Clinton supporter who for party unity and so did not want more Bush Whitehouse years made that statement true is now here by giving notice that it is no longer true. If I do not hear not only a retraction of this statement and a encouragement by Barack Obama for his supporters to vote Democrat no matter who ends up getting the nod as the Democratic nominee I will be setting out this election if Obama wins the nominee! He went way to far! If he waits till the convention to get all unity mode it will be to late for me! Lets see if Barack Obama wins any better without the support of the Hillary Clinton supporter then Hillary would without the support of the Barack supporters!

BTW – I am sick of all of the comments about new voters, young energy etc. I have never been involved or as interested in a Presidential race as I am in this one. I have donated time and money to Hillary. She has the support of young/old/male/female/black/white/latinos all across America.

All the baby boomers i know (women) are voting for hillary…do not underestimate our power. most have not even voted till now SHE WILL BE OUR NEXT PRESIDENT!

Remember Bill, it's "George the Father, George the Son and Jeb the Holy Ghost"!
Meaning no disrespect to the Deity, but for a lot of us God, Allah, or by whatever name is not a Republican or a Democrat.

The world is full of hypocrites who go to church every week and then "sin" for the other six days. Now, for all you Clinton supporters, don't take this as a slam at Bill for "judge not lest ye be judged". It's just a reality check.

Must admit though, that Bill Clinton in church in an earthquake zone makes me more than a little nervous. Good luck to all.

Funny how Slick Willy is only going to black churches.

Also, what does it matter if "half the youth are also women," vic? Are you suggesting that women, young and old, shouldn't be able to chose, but should only vote for a woman because they are of the same gender?

President Bill Clinton was a great leader for all communities across America and he will make a great adviser to President HILLARY CLINTON. Hope and Change are messages of the Democratic Party, let's elect a candidate who can deliver on the promise not just the words.

Hillary Clinton 2008

All the baby boome i know (women) are voting for hillary…do not underestimate our power. most have not even voted till now SHE WILL BE OUR NEXT PRESIDENT!

The way the media covers this you would think that idiot Bill is a rock star…HA HA HA! He wishes. Billy needs to shutup and get his pace maker fixed.

Obama!

Anyone in their right mind no that the clintons are not prejudice. And for anyone to label obama as black that is a slap in the face obama is biracial. half white/half black. maybe that is why is getting so much support from whites, it is sure not for experience.

No one can change others future unless they do it for themself.

Hey Bob, it's not the minorities you hire. IT'S THE MINORITIES YOU HELP!!! Reagan, Bush41 and Bush43 hired a few black people. Bill Clinton helped a few MILLION BLACK PEOPLE. I'LL TAKE THAT ANY DAY!!!

You bet Bill is back, he has a lot running on his wife winning. If he didn't have a lot to loose he wouldn't be working it so hard. Go Bill you know you will be in the White House in 09. People aren't ready for change, they are willing to accept status quo. I don't want to go back to the Clinton era, I want to move on. But we forgave him for all his lies, Go Bill and Hillary!!!!!! The American people have short term memory. They don't want honesty, they want lies.

well bill is the one who let me buy my house. george bush i,m about to lose it . thank god for the CLINTONS. I'M A BLACK MAN AND I KNOW WHERE MY LOYALTY LIES.GO HILLARY

The Clinton camp is ridiculous. Sending Bill to do a tour of black churches, it is crude and rude. I will not be voting for Hillary I found the way they do things to be gross. This would even be different if Bill was going to both black and white congregations, but to only focus on black churches? What a message to send. Get lost Bill.

..He did so much for us…that us being the so-called black leaders…put a few people in positions did not do anything for black people…but if someone could come and sing, dance, make us FEEL good..then all is forgiven until they SCREW us again…we are like battered wifes…it's OK until the next time…just FORGIVE and everything will be alright. We as black need to grow into a level of political, social and economic MATURITY that will allow people to RESPECT us because that maturity will allow us to respect ourselves…EVERYONE knows that if you go to a BLACK CHURCH..it's tantamount to acceptance, forgiveness and support…Its' PATHETIC..no wonder our YOUTH despise the leadership and REBEL…

SPONGEBOB FOR President.. He has a "PLAN" and is the only that can mop up Bush's Mess……..

So let me get this right. The Obama supporters don't think Bill can campaign for his own wife, when Obama has his own wife, Oprah, Ted Kennedy, John Kerry, Tom Dashle, Patrick Leahy and lord knows who else campaigning for him.

BTW, do you see a pattern above? Kennedy, Kerry, Dashle, Leahy…all old guard Democrats. Ready and willing to pull the strings for the Obama campaign to get him elected. I have a feeling if Obama gets elected he'll be dancing to their tune for his entire Presidency. So much for change and looking to the future.

My 9:47 am ET comment is still awaiting "moderation". Why? It's not that long and uses no inappropriate language.

Blacks are monolithic people; it was said and now they prove. They only vote person based on color, even that person is dumb.
There are whites. blacks, browns and others don't look for a special treat because you are black; gone those days.

Shame on you African American; you are segregating yourself now; what a monolithic culture?.

Bob:

Thank you for speaking the truth. All Republicans are not bad and all Democrats are not good! Like Obama says…it's not about red vs blue, black vs white, woman vs man etc….it's about PEOPLE.

I voted for Both Clintons but if I had as much information back then as we have today via the internet (youtube, blogs, Google etc) my choices would have been different.

Denise, search it all on Google and you will see for yourself.

BARACK OBAMA IS THE TRUTH!!!!!! GO OBAMA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yes, I can just hear it now–

Pay no attention to those nasty cracks I said before. I only said them because– like my wife– I'll say or do whatever I think I need to say or do to attain political office. Sorry about that.

What, it won't go like that?

Half od the youth is voting for Obama. Seriously, a vote for Hillary is really a vote for Bill and I don't want Bill back in the white house.

What's so wrong with him campaigning for his wife. Other people are doing it for Obama. So what that he is an ex president, an ex-president that did a hell of a lot for this country and whether you like to admit or not, when he was president things were as good as they have been for the previous 40 years. Bill is articulate and and orders of magnitdue more intelligent than the current pool of presidential candidates. When he campaigns for his wife he speaks about the volumes of things his wife have gotten done during her political career, things that actually matter in peoples everyday lives. It's about who can get it done, that is what's important in any job interview. Inspirational talk is great and uplifting, but just because one gets an A in public oration means nothing when it comes to getting things done in and through congress. Base your decision on substance, your lives are worth nothing less. That is the question we need to ask ourselves and the only question at that. It is so maddening that people are actually basing the future of this country and that of their families and children on insubstantial talk. Wake up people!

Bill Clinton just tried to hang a Black man in the South last week and one week later he is in the Black church!…hello?

Screw the Clintons!

Obama 08

I am glad to see him doing this. I am positive that if the Democrats doesn't nominate Hillary, the Republican Party will win by campaigning their candidate against a ex-drug dealer/user. Our lives will be burdened with that continual message throughout the National campaign.

I suspect mischevious voting (as a Republican called it) is in operation through "Independent declarations" in promoting Obama who can be easily defeated by the Republicans because of his abuse and sales of illegal drugs.

Libs love it when the Dems campaign in churches even when it's a clear violation of the churches non-profit, religious organization tax exempt rules. At the same time, they condemn when Repubs campaign in a church and start bellyaching about seperation of church and state.

The Clinton haters amaze me. They can not stand the idea that white a American can be liked and respected by the black community. His early comments have been twisted and taken out of context by a hostile media, They raised the race issue on the morning of the N.H. vote, by so called MSNBC journalists. The conversation was about Dr. King and LBJ. I just don't believe these hate comments are coming from Obama supporters and or democrats. I think you are seeing the republican attack machine getting all the negatives out on the democract candidates.

None of you ever gives Clinton the benefit of the doubt, do you? He is a great campaigner and, yes, he does have a temper. Do any of you? He is sincere in wanting to see Hillary as president. She is brilliant and might be able to repair the damage the present idiot in the White House has caused. I have nothing against Obama but he doesn't have enough experience to be president yet. Perhaps in eight years he will know more. Right now his health care plan is unrealistic. How many low income families can afford to pay for any health care program? Let the billionaires pay for it. None of them can spend all their money in ten lifetimes.

What President Clinton Is Doing Is Trying To Do Is To Make Sure That The Voices Of African – Americans All Over The United States Do Not Go Unheard, He Knows Alot About African – Americans Because He Was Raised With Some Of Them And Some Of Them Were Even In His Cabinet As Attorney General And Governor Of Arkansas And President Of The United States, President Clinton Also Had Some Of Them As Advisers And Friends, Among Them Vernon Jordan, And Rodney Slater, And They Should Be Given Credit For Taking African – Americans Off The Poverty Line As Well. Keri Nowling, Seymour, Indiana.

Continue with your oral diarrhea Bill Clinton. We have enough brains to see through your spin. We need someone for the future not the past.

I guess the Clintons are not supposed to even campaign now….just sit down and let the Obama/Kennedy Machine roll right on over. Everyone has a right to wage a vigourous campaign. Isn't Obama using Kennedy to try and attract the Latino vote now? Give em all a break, how many of us could keep up that schedule under a microscope with hordes of press following you around, especially if they were out to get you anyway. I respect all of them and their families for having the stamina to do it, and certainly am not going to hold it against Bill Clinton for nodding off during church as I have done that myself. It doesn't show a lack of interest or respect, it shows fatigue! Voting for experience, reason, AND change on Tuesday in Illinois! Go HIllary…..

Bill has every right to go wherever he pleases–Just like everyone else, who get no flak for their choices of venues.
How hypocritical, and yes, adult women are noticing, and we'll be voting accordingly!

Bob,
I'll bet you're about as black as the Utah snow!

Just goes to show the negative attitudes of the Obama Clan.
Clinton supporters appear more grounded and educated…hmm glad I'm an independent Thinker

Bill Clinton has every right to campaign with blacks and at black churches. Bill has always supported the black community. Please don't turn this into a racial issue.

And what's wrong with Bill campaigning for Hillary. It's common sense that she would use her husband to her advantage just like any other candidate would do if they had that opportunity including Obama. Obama was lucky enough to have Oprah campaigning for him and Hillary is lucky enough to have former president Bill Clinton campaigning for her.

Obama needs to get in touch with the African-American community; it is a pity that he has remained so very from it over the course of time. NOW, he has suddenly discovered they ARE important! It isn't Bill Clinton who needs to be doing this tour, it IS Obama who needs this! Only the naive and uninformed will be voting for Barack Obama! This is really sad for the entire community! What a phoney Barack is!

I wonder if he will fall asleep after hearing himself talk.

Clintons for 92-not 2008.

It will be interesting to see how much of the $32M Obama collects. The same people giving money to his campaign are the ones who can't afford to make their house payment. I guess it makes sense to not make your house payment and wait for the "mortgage fund" (extension of welfare) to bail you out. In effect, if Obama wins everyone is contributing to his campaign. We're just making our payment later through higher taxes.

One day the black community will again realize that we Lincoln republicans are the ones that really believe everyone is created equal..

Just another highlight of something that shouldn't be happening. The very idea of going into a church and the fact the minister there allows it and quite possibly supports it brings into question what kind of pressure his/her followers feel to vote for whoever comes since quite often in many religions the people too often rely on their leaders words and choices to guide their own decisions instead of pondering the matter themselves. The whole campaigning in the churches needs to stop since there should never be any type of pressure upon an individual to vote one way or another and that pressure most definitely should not come from someone who can convey the image that of it having to do anything with their life after this death. If the candidates want to speak to the members of congregations they can get together the money to hold the meetings elsewhere instead of capitalizing on the fact they are in a place of worship where they should be free from the cares of the world and the antics of politicians.

It sure sounds like the source for this story was Hillary. Who else would say "I can't do it for him"?

Bob

I understand your point, but embracing diversity DOES NOT mean that good things are in the works for minorities. Has Bush's policies really helped blacks? In contrast, Clinton's years in the White House resulted in good times for your people.

So what if Clinton is campaigning? If others can campaign for Obama, why can't he campaign for Hillary at the time when the good all boys from both parties, as well as the media have ganged up against Hillary? We will see who wins, how many upset women are going to cast their vote Tuesday. Half of the youth are also women.

I think this is fantastic. For those of you saying "shouldn't it be Hillary going" etc… Are you kidding? All candidates have spouses, celebrities, and campaign workers speaking for them across the country. Obviously none of them can be in more than one place at a time. And for those saying "it's too little too late" etc… Get over yourselves. You've been saying that all along and yet Hillary is still ahead. You can try to be idealistic like your candidate but that only goes so far. I think it's wonderful that Hillary's campaign continues to reach out to EVERYONE and I can't wait for Super Tuesday! GO HILLARY!!

Dear "wakethehellup!!"

With all due respect, Obama and his surrogates have nothing to explain or make amends for. Unfortunately, the SC spectacle revealed the Clinton campaign's true character: its goal is a Clinton "restoration" — duplicity, self-dealing, race-baiting, co-presidency and all. Been there, done that. They are who they are, and no amount of "repair work" or amends can change what was revealed about them in SC. They already woke us up — and thank God they did, before it was too late. You are the one who is asleep.

Maybe his visit will be like his attendance at a black church on Martin Luther King day a few weeks ago when he was falling asleep (check out the video on youtube) or maybe he will speak like Hillary did at the black church with the southern twang like earlier in the campaign season (video is also on youtube).

Some thing to think about folks:

A key question that has not been addressed: If Hillary wins the nomination, what Democrat in their right mind would want the VP slot. Big Foot Bill would be the Virtual VP, and the actual VP would become invisible. Should Hillary offer the VP spot to Senator Obama, he should turn it down, unless wants he to see his future disappear.

In a Hillary administration, Big Foot Bill would shut out the VP, and leave the party with no future leadership.

Will someone PLEASE tell me what the Clintons and the Democratic Party have done for the African American community – other than give empty words saying all their going to do once elected. And then – zero, zilch, nada. NOTHING!!!!!
It was, in fact the democrats that were in favor of continued segregation up till the beginning of the 60's. Don't forget it was Abraham Lincoln & the Republican Party that went to war (The Civil War) to free the slaves (as well as for commerce issues).
I cannot believe people still fall for someone telling them over & over again -what they promise to do once elected – and continuing to do nothing but give empty rhetoric. It must be brain washing from childhood.
I sense Barak Obama is a new breed of politician – who may actually be able to bring the country together & accomplish true equality (which legislation alone cannot mandate). It's a heart issue. Untill we look at each other as human beings and treat each other as individuals (not lumping anything that happens as a race or gender issue) – we'll never be able to accomplish all that MLK fought for.
Let's pray for a new leader who will govern as our constitution hoped. Remember it's "We the People"………..

Bob:

WOW!! I liked your comment! I would like to read more about that ! (BTW I am being serious, not a smart-aleck) Any suggestions?

What happened to his plan to watch the Super Bowl with his friend Bill Richardson in New Mexico to show the Hispanics that he kicks back with one of their own?

A key question that has not been addressed: If Hillary wins the nomination, what Democrat in their right mind would want the VP slot. Big Foot Bill would be the Virtual VP, and the actual VP would become invisible. Should Hillary offer the VP spot to Senator Obama, he should turn it down, unless wants he to see his future disappear.

In a Hillary administration, Big Foot Bill would shut out the VP, and leave the party with no future leadership.

Too little, too late.

African Americans are fed up with being "used" by people like Bill who climb on their backs to get what they need. Those "AA" leaders taking Bill on tour do their constituents a disservice.

Sorry, Bill. We peeked behind the curtain and saw the real man standing there. Someone who will use anyone at any time for self enrichment. Anyone who can be lulled back into a false sense of security at this point isn't intelligent enough to vote.

And a previous poster is right. Shouldn't Hilary be doing the tour? Didn't she tell Obama "I'm here, he's not!"

This whole saga is just pathetic. Count me firmly in the ABC camp. Anyone But Clinton. Like the L.A. Times said "It's time to turn the page." The Clinton routine is starting to feel very stale.

regarding obama:
this guy's roots are from Kenya where there is now a genocide. imagine a Kenyan sitting as president of the usa? a rookie, whose roots are mixture of unknown dna, first time senator, inexperienced, ugly, involved in a shady real estate deal with Rezko, with no specific plans to help lift americans lives, aiming to become president of the most powerful nation in the world and follow him? remember Bush, inexperienced, connvicted drunkard, a white guy aided and built up by the media with non stop attack ads against GORE? you followed him like a pied piper and like leemings followed him to destruction and now you follow Obama blindly and where do you want our country to become four years from now> ET BRUTUS? and the downfall of Rome!

imagine if you were white asking a Kenyan black president a favor, stooping very low and looking down on you as if you were a white maggot? do you think he is going to appoint you first before his black constituents? give me a break, you will be treated like slave as you treated his slave ancestors.

Wake up white america and use your brains, not your emotions, not your computers and cell phones because that is what got us in a mess under Bush.
even though he is one of us with not shade of black.

this election is not like eating hambuger, if you don't like it, just throw it away. This election is about your future, your children, and grandxchildren. It is about injecting black blood into your veins and that will remain in your blook forever, not like a tatoo that you can laser and at least minmized its colors.

do not follow Obama like a leming into the pit of destruction!

Why doesn't Hillary just buy him a hooker and tell him to stay out of her campaign? He's doing more harm than good. The only way that he could cause more trouble for her is to rape another woman before the election.

rich…You are absolutely correct!

Bill Clinton hasn't changed. If you watch some of his 1992 rallies, you will see the same style. He was aggressive with hecklers, he challenged the media. But back then, the media was in love with him. Now that the media has fallen in love with Obama, everything Bill Clinton says is controversial. Wake up people, he hasn't changed. The media presentation of him. And since the political memory in this country is about one day long, don't forget that it was this aggressive style that allowed him to win. Kerry abandoned it, played chicken with the republicans and lost. If a democrat wants to win, he or she will need to be tough, speak their mind and stand up for themselves. Learn from the winner and stop criticizing him because he sneezed too aggressively at a reporter.

Bob,

You really don't want to be hired by the Clintons as you could become one of Bill's dead friends. Just google for it and you will be amazed by what you find, but read them carefully.

Commerce Secretary Ron Brown died of a mysterious plane crash in the mist of several investigations on sensitive technology transfer to China. Bill authorized the special transfer through the Commerce Dept. instead of the State Dept.

Surgeon General Joycelyn Elders was fired by Bill for talking masterbation in sex education. She is lucky to be alive.

bill clinton should go to church. after the crap he pulled in the oval office he should drop out of sight…..he is a person who was elected to the highest office who is expected to set morals and be a leader of the usa and all he can think about is a little extra excitement behind the oval office desk. then he has the gaul to say he never did anything…. now you want his wife to be president….. he claims he did nothing wrong……hillary will claim the same thing……..she had a good teacher.

Barack Obama's secret weapon is one that the Clinton's don't have an answer for. This secret weapon offers America and the world something that the Clinton's couldn't , even on there best day.

As someone that is old enough to remember another time and place in this country when the the American people was looking for a reason to have a sense of pride and the ability to dream big dreams with endless hope and possibilities for a better tomorrow. A young man came onto the world stage and changed this country with his inspiration and hope. The critics said it couldn't be done and he told us , we are going to the moon within 10 years, AND WE DID !

Here we are today decades later and America is once again watching another young man with a unique ability to lift people up with a sense of pride , honor and integrity and the ability to give people a reason to believe again, that our best days are yet to come. Someone that understands that real change comes from the bottom up , and all things are possible with the will of the American people behind you.

The vision of a young man that tells us "we are one people" and YES WE CAN.

Yes Barack Obama is one of them leaders that has the unique ability to break down the walls that divide us , and get us all on the same page as " ONE PEOPLE".

But Barack Obama's secret weapon is one that this country and the world can take pride in , it's one that the Clinton's don't have an answer for because, this secret weapon comes with Honor , Gracefulness , Integrity , Intelligence and the background of life experiences of real every day people.

MICHELLE OBAMA ……………OUR NEXT FIRST LADY.

I do not believe Obama can withstand the "swiftboating" from the Republicans as well as Hillary.

Bill and Hillary are shameless !

Slick Willy at it again. Hopefully, the African American community learned about the Clintons a few weeks ago, doing anything to win, even when it is slash and burn of fellow Democrats like Kennedy and the black community. Nothing stands in the way of the wagging finger of Bill Clinton. He ought to be booed off the stage.

What nerve to come back to the blacks with hat in hand. Wait until next week and he'll put them under the bus to make headway with the Latino community which is wife did during the debates. What scum.

I highly doubt that is possible…

OBAMA FOR PRESIDENT!!!

How about this. Bill we love you and we will vote for you even if you disrespect us.
NOT!

He's back, he's baaack, he's BAAAAAAAAACK.

READ ABOUT " THE HILLARY PROJECT' PLEASE, YOU WON'T BE SORRY

Sorry Bill. Its a little too late. Enjoy the service though despite I know thats not what you are going there for. But enjoy it anyway. It is an insult to black folks to think that you can come to their church, make up for all your wrongs, and expect them to go into the voting booth and give u a stamp of approval. Sorry Bill and Hillary, times are different. You might be able to convice a few Afro-Americans to take the bait, but I doubt the majority will.

Bob you are sooooooooo wrong
Clinton NEVER did anything like that. The media twisted everything to make it "race" and people like YOU bought hook, line and sinker.

If you're not pro Obama you don't get posted?

The Clintons will do anything, anything at all, to catch votes. They are all charm one minute and turn ugly the next. Look at their records (the goods as well as the bads and uglies) of their years in the White House to make your judgment.

People are NOT stupid bill. You showed you true colors already. You LOVE Black people until one gets in your way. Or asks your Daughter out on a date. Typical.

Shouldn't that be Obama doing the tour not Oprah, Caroline, and Michelle it goes both ways. Isn't Obama the one running for president, like him Hillary can't be in two places at one time. Wake up America I agree, but I am supporting Hillary!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Three words: The Starr Report.

It is a shame that are supposed to be 'Black leaders', are in reality just more 'Uncle Toms'!!

This is pure hypocrisy. If he had not intended to use smear tactics and use the race card, he would not have done so. Everything that the Clintons do is calculated and even calibrated to make sure of its impact. Now that he needs their votes, he could go out and say he is sorry? Just because he need something from them? What if he does NOT need anything? Is he still sorry? I would submit not. In any case, saying that he has done so much for one particular group is also incorrect. We, the citizens elected him president then. We expect him to do for us as we did for him. It was our right, in return for our votes.. However, It is not right for us to be beholden to him for the rest of our lives.

Unfortunately, this is why we in the black community haven't advanced more in terms of real participation in the REAL American body politic and power structure. Some charismatic, manipulative charlatan like Bill Clinton (and JFK, and Lyndon Johnson, and Humphrey, and McGovern, and Carter, and Mondale, and Gore, and Kerry, etc., etc.) come to our churches, play the game, re-inforce our victimhood, and we give them 90+% of our votes. When they get elected they deliver absolutely zero. If we do our research, we will find that Reagan, and both Bushes, hired more minorities into significant leadership positions than Kennedy, Johnson, Carter, and Clinton combined.

I never get tired of reading quotes that dismiss any racial issues. It's great to be reminded that the public is capable of looking past opportunistic sound bytes.

Wonder if he'll use Hillary's Southern twang when he be talkin to us folks..

Shouldn't that be HILLARY CLINTON doing this tour? Isn't she the one who is running for the Presidency? Or is this going to be a Clinton/Clinton ticket in November? Wake up, America!!! The Clintons have had their 15 minutes; it's time for both of them to go away.
