You noted and I applaud – the time is now to be positive – Congrats and may the best Democrat win it all

this is gonna go down to the wire, i messaged about 100 friends today!! obama 08, we need all supporters to focus on getting the word out and not bashing the clintons.

Strong positive energy – to be admired (even if we disagree on who should be the candidate in 08)

This is obscene. I posted several anti-Obama comments with the same tone as the anti-Hillary comments posted here. They remained in awaiting moderation mode and now they're gone. The blatant pro-Obama position CNN has taken is as obscene as that of the pro-Bush position Foxnews took the last 8 years. If that's what we can expect from CNN then all the more reason to vote for Hillary. I've never been ashamed of CNN and I always defended them against bias charges. That's what I get for regarding them as trusted media.

STOP CENSORING PRO-HILLARY STUFF. THIS IS OBSCENE!!!!!!!!!!

How phony can you get?

Sirs,
I find your blatantly, biased anti Clinton reporting reprehensable, to the extent that I have decided to discontinue viewing your web sites/ TV station in future.

In reply to PW VA: Why don't you read or listen to the rest of Bill Clinton's quote, He also said " I have waited my whole life to vote for a woman." Then he said " GOD you are playing with my mind again." My quote " If you can't tell it right don't tell it at all."

DM- it's the economy, STUPID.

got to wonder who obama is pandering to with the superbowl nothing ads. Young people will like the music and the idealism – i, however, don't think i can afford the adgenda. Here is a flash – all the things promised – need to go thru a congress that is not going to rubberstamp his untried ideas. Politicians are aware of the cost to their states and will ultimately vote in a way that protects thier voters. thank god.

How sad it is to see an ex-president try so hard to make a case for his wife, when in fact he only hurts her chances of winning the election. Every time he opens his mouth, the polls indicated she loses ground. If he would only take a more intelligent approach to her campaign. The American people are not stupid, we can really see through this guy and its insulting for him to think otherwise.

Bill,Bill,Bill

as you said, the same old experience is irrelevant today. (1992)

Mrs. Waters is wanting something more than experience in her candidate:

Obama's experience. The experience they are talking about is not by definition.
They are talking about a Bush period of bitterness. The Bush years have made people bitter to the point of saying you are not experienced (Bitter) enough because you are not expressing partisan bitterness. Mrs. Maxine Waters said it was Hillary’s policy as to why she endorsed Hillary Clinton. I thought your recent economic stimulus proposal was more on point than any other proposed stimulus plan presented. Representative Walters has had many problems in congress with the GOP and with the Bush administration. Some may vote Hillary because they believe Hillary will be a Bush (Partisan President) for Democrats, in only helping Democrats. As Democrats, we always had a long history of reconciliatory gestures towards the other political parties, building lasting relationships, as a model for governments around the world. It will not be fruitful at this stage for congress and others to back a partisanship government for any reason, especially not for revenge. Democratic Party truly represents the teaching of Christ Jesus. Grace runneth over in paying our debts, as we rightly see the only man. As we remove that beam out of our way, calling itself bitterness, resentment and condemnation. That is not about the American Dream. People want Change that includes all. Now, is the time for courageous thinkers! Many of our Washington Status quo representatives fear a change. Most of their courageous constituents want change that blesses all America. This movement is about healing a nation. With your message, people are starting to see the possibilities that were thought to be impossible.

The Movement Is beyond Our will

Forgive and Forgive

change that brings us all together

im not for any campaigning in churches from either side, seriously, there are many huge buildings all over this country, churches are not the place to campaign

I agree with Sylvia. Obama is the one playing the Race Card. I feel sad that he seems to have decided to ingore the fact that is mother is white. Like she doesn't matter.

how can the Clintons accuse Obama of pulling the race card when they are trying to be something that arent....

And did anyone hear that Hillary will GARNISH wages of those that dont want to purchase insurance!!

Bill outperformed Michelle.
HIllary outperformed Michelle's husband.
Super Tuesday, here comes Madam President!!!

Ever notice how spiritual the Clinton's get during election time? If Huckabee were the subject of this story, how many 'separation of church and state' posts would we see? But, since it's Clinton, there is maybe one or two. Is this because you know he's being phony but are still willing to accept the line of bull?

Says a lot about their integrity, and for the lemmings in their camp willing to follow no matter what the offense.

Do you say the same thing about the Kennedy's.... hey, you're not black!

I am extremely disappointed at how some Obama supporters are reacting here – the bile and hatred seems to me to show that some are not what they appear.

We as democrats should be proud of the fact that after this race we have the possibility of having either the first women or first African-American President of this country.

We need to recognise that a lot more unites than divides the candidates – they have a lot more in common than say McCain has with Romney. Let's unite around the winning candiadte and stop this pointless bickering.

Interesting enough, we are doing what 1) Obama wishes us not to do and that's Hillary and 2) not focusing on the true issues. Who cares what race Obama is and who cares about Bill. HE was a good president, I remember it well but that does not mean that his wife will. Just because your parent is a great person does not mean you will be... 3) As far as Obama being half white and ashamed of it, that is the most asinine thing I have ever heard in my life. The fact of the matter is he ALWAYS talks about his white father with fondness but lets face it, the world does not see him as Half anything they see his brown skin and say he is black.
4) Although I am voting for Obama as a black woman–not because he is lack but because of what he stands for, I wish Hillary the best and one day I hope to see a woman President in the Oval Office, but one I can relate to, one that I can believe in and one who can lead the country on her own without her husband's help or legacy.

HE IS GROSS.

A childish, rude Obama for president. What is an joke?

Go Hillary!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

If Obama is the nominee, I will vote for McCain

this is gonna go down to the wire, i messaged about 100 friends today!! obama 08, we need all supporters to focus on getting the word out and not bashing the clintons.. if everyone that says they support obama contact atleast 100 ppl tomorrow then we will make a difference..enough is enough, lets move forward and rebuild the country!

Bill seems to still have the blacks blinded into slavery that they can't even see that one of their own is taking on the challenge to fight for them and continue Martin Luther Martin Luther 's dream. It reminds me of the jews and Christ . He came unto his own received him NOT. African Americans need to wake up from that slumber that will always have a slave master ruling over them but not their own.

If whited vote for the white there's no problem but blacks for Obama it is racist? Ridiculous!!!!

i want to know if Bill have nothing else to do..........

I don't like CNN's President conerage pertaing to Hillary
Please give her supporl We need to hear news fron CNN. It mindboggling to not suuprt hereffots.

Sorry guys, a whole lot of you are going to be disappointed Super Tuesday. Oprah didn't get a overflowing crowd wonder why? Oh, I know this is not SC.

Despite all the nagging in the clinton camp.obama will still win califonia.We need to wake up people, friendship and business are poll apart.so let us stop the clintons after 8yrs of unsucessful universal Health coverage.ha ha ha

For the record, the Clintons' have been frequent visitors to black churches as far back as when he was governor.

Can an Obama believer, tell me why his ads are always pointing to something Hillary did or said, instead, of touting his record? Doyou think he even knows what negative campaigning is?

He needs to take his toys and go home.

Hillary 08

If you remember, last year at the begining of this election cycle it was all about Hillary, 50% leads nationally, there was no stopping her. well, what a difference 12 months can make. Is there anyone out there who could have predicted what an impact a little known Junior Senator from Illinois would have on the people of America? I doubt it.

The fact is that state by state Obama has been able to knock down Hillary's mamoth leads within weeks or even days. Sorry, Gene and others, Obama will win California and the nomination and will become the next President of the United States of America.

Some things are just meant to be!!!!!!!!

I'm an Independent. I voted for Bill Clinton twice. I was betrayed. Doesn't anyone remember M. L. and the lies about his relationship with her? He 'used' a twenty-one year old woman. When asked why he did it, he replied, "Because I could".

Why on earth does anyone trust or believe Bill Clinton?

Find another candidate.

Ray, Gene,Jim an american in paris, I personally think you're full of it . A true American can not and will not ever forget the shame and disgrace to this country brought on by the girley parties in the white house while Bill Clinton was president.

Go Bill. Thanks for supporting Hillary like and spouse would do!!

The Hillary haters are all out today. They are ranting and raving and the Howling .Hillary will win California. Hillary will win the nomination. Hillary will win the general election. Hillary will be the next President of the United States of America.The poll they are all dicussing is a trailing poll and only takes a small sampling. The Clinton haters need to get back in their cages.

Bill can campaign for his wife, just as Michelle can for Obama. I saw Michelle's speech on C-Span yesterday, ' when I was a young black girl...blah, blah, blah, blah............ Get over it!

How many more Oprah shindigs we gonna have?

You were a great President, Bill, and you're a great supporter for Hillary!

She will fight to give all Americans the best! We can count on her.

To all the hate mongers out there-GET OVER IT!!!! Bill Clinton was the best President this country has had, since JFK-and, Hillary will be even better-A vote for Hillary is a vote for the future, and a vote for Obama is a vote for ????????

I agree with JJ in NY.

After insulting the black community he now begs for their vote? Does he thinks he's that slick to wimp his way back? He played his cards and rolled the dice. He MUST be in a fairy tale dream....

The only way to get barack and hillary on the same ticket is to VOTE HILLARY. and that's unstoppable. sorry folks. thats not my opinion, its expert concensus, even among republicans.

An Old Democrats view of things.

I watched my favorite TV show “George Stephanopolis “ and could see in his body language something was bothering him looking at the current polls or he is just not comfortable with what he is seeing unfold in this surge for Obama.

I believe we are seeing some danger signs in both Hillary and Obama.

• For Hillary, I believe its Clinton fatigue.

• For Obama, its lack of substance.

• For both, John Mccain is fairly well liked by moderate Democrats

• Obama takes Universal Health care off the table. Things will remain the same with the insured paying for those that are not insured.

• Clinton’s stand on the Iraq war.

• Obama not showing up for voting on the Iran authorization vote and voting present 100 times.

These are my present concerns when looking at these two Candidates.

How ironic it is that some people spout off about Romney being religious – He is not the one preaching from the pulpit. Personally, I would walk out of ANY church that would put a politician at the pulpit to stump for their campaign. I guess it's a good thing I am LDS – we don't tell you who to vote for!

brainwashed obamites

Did Bill fall asleep during the sermon?

You people are vicious you need to "tone" it down

"Hillary and Bill are simply OUT OF TOUCH and like most older folks in that circumstance"

Yep... ageism is alive and well in this campaign too.

All you Obama Supporters it seems to me that you guys are full of hatred.
Whatever you say about Bill , he still has 85% approval rating among Democrats so he still is much more popular than Ted Kennedy or Kerry or Oprah .
Go Bill.

Why Is Jessica Yellin along with many of the CNN reporters so against the Clintons? You would think a strong women would be happy for another strong woman. I am a african american woman and i love both Hillary and Barack but i do not like how CNN all of sudden and giving all the positve remarks to Barack and nothing but hate to Hillary. I watched last thursday's debate and at the same time readnng online what Bill S was commenting on CNN. com and it was very one sided. I guess I am going to stick to watching my local news because the news i'm getting from CNN now is the same one sided opinion i used to get from FOXNews.

How blantantly phoney of Clinton to make his rounds of black churches...then, again, what do you expect from him? At least his laugh is believeable....not the irritating, contrived laughter from Hillary's mouth. Enough, enough, enough of these two!!!! Obama is the real deal.

All the younglings supporting Omaba again on a Clinton ticker!

Shame on you guys!

Didn't the Nobel Prize winner Toni Morrison, call Bill Clinton the "first black president – Blacker than any actual person who could ever be elected in our children's lifetime.?" Luckily, she was not correct. "Now" is our children's lifetime, and she has now enthusiastically endorsed Barack Obama for President.

I ain't mad at Bill ... do YOU baby.
This is politics guys! if you can't understand the game then you sure can't follow it. I support Obama and I can't be mad at Hillary & Bill to try to sway black voters; it's all good = it's all POLITICS.

Obama '08 – Join the movement

Isn't OBAMA half-black....the "other half" being white???? As a white person I am offended he is embarrased of his half that is white. Isn't HE the one playing the RACE card?????
The Clintons have never pretended to be something they were not...like ALL BLACK

Anyone think the Black vote is not important? Everybody is after votes,why is Oprah here.

John February 3, 2008 2:29 pm ET
Why does he have to blatantly embed himself around African-Americans to try to win the vote?"

Because ignorant voters and a biased media forced him to defend his opinions and position. Its not only about votes here , its about his legacy. If anyone in this country can say that the Clintons are racists (as Obama campaign and Ted Kennedy and others insinuated for scoring political points), there is no fairness in America.

I don't think Bill Clinton is 100% racist but let's not forget that Bill is a "great politician". He is great at pandering to minorities and has a likable personality. I still remember Bill Clinton on the "Arsenio Hall Show" playing the saxophone in black shades or Bill Clinton having Maya Angelou be his poet laureate in 1992 or him saying (based on Toni Morrison's label of him as "the first black candidate") that he likes being called the "first black president". I always thought of Bill Clinton as a good president who was in a great situation. He was president when the Internet/Telecommunications Age first boomed and he had no major foreign policy or international matters which he had to address.

And Maxine Water, voted the most corrupt politician by numerous citizen groups since 2004, supports Hillary. This is a very appropiate endorsement for the Clintons.

Obama in 08!

Bill Clinton, like his wife, is a poser. What does that say for those sitting next to him at the table in the master's house?

Bill and Hillary are such phonies. I just don't trust them. Go OBAMA! My family and I just love you!!

I mis-quoted James Carville by not using quotation marks....the post shoud have quotation marks around the following: "The man does not have a racist bone in his body" .....the rest is all mine.
Go Hillary

I wonder how much money the Clinton's are giving these black preachers ?? It does not matter because although the preacher's are supporting Clinton and letting them use their church to stump for Hillary, most of the congregation are not fools and are going to use thier own brains and vote for Obama.

Black people are not dumb. They see just like millions of other Americans that Obama is the best hope for them and this country.

Do the Clinton's think that because Bill was nice to black people that they should let her wife have the White House ??

Sorry Bill, I think you're going to have to try harder than that to garner back support from African-Americans.

Sorry Bill, I think you're to have to try harder than that to garner back support from African-Americans.

It is time for black voters to stop laughing with Bill Clinton but laught at him. He is the joke!

James Carville said it best today on Meet the Press....the man does not have a racist bone in his body....unfortunately for Hillary....race seems to override intelligence in this election.

I wish God would play with his mind a bit more and keep him distracted, so the rest of us could focus on the issues of the campaign.

I'm tired of seeing this guy.

Slick Willie at it again. Unfortunately, he has the African American community so enamored, they can't see past his B.S.

Sad

Kate Michelman, Former President, NARAL Pro-Choice America has endorsed OBAMA.

OBAMA 08'

If Obama was a white man, he'd win this presidential election. If only his color could be changed to "white", no doubt, he'd be the next American President. He is a very fine man and the right candidate to be the president of America. Folks, lets end racism and vote for the right candidate. Remember Obama's mother was a white woman. He was also raised by his white grandparents. This man needs to be given a chance. If only white folks can ponder for one minute and recognise that Obama is the right candidate irrespective of his color. Unfortunately, America is such a racist country. I am writing from Canada and I must say racism is not as bad over here.

O goodness, Maxin Waters. The woman who was against Welfare Reform with Rep. Charles Rangel which has given single mothers the chance the get free occupational training and GED certification and become self-sufficient with pride for their children. Welfare Reform- a republican idea that Clinton signed in to law after it having to be pushed three times while he was in office.

Hillary should be campaigning. Not you.

Bill goes to church? I couldn't tell after the countless times he cheated on his wife.

I am a black 32 year old woman who ha never lost respect for the Bill Clinton. People please be aware the press will continue to try and choose your candidates for you by their polarization of coverage. the fact is Bill is not running. Hillary Clinton is and if Michelle Obama was as scutinized as Bill Clinton's every word is we would have more prespective.

I will support Hillary Clinton for president. Not co-president. Madam president.

....and?.....what's the significance?

"I waited my whole life to vote for an African American for president."

Bill...does this mean you're endorsing Senator Obama over your wife? Are you actually going to vote for Senator Obama???

Of course, you're not, you faker!!! Pandering, once again...and this time in the house of the Lord! Have you NO SHAME????

Bill thinks they are laughing with him.....

Why does he have to blatantly embed himself around African-Americans to try to win the vote? Does he think that this is a good idea for Hillary? It suggests that all African-Americans will now somehow vote for Hillary because he is affable?
This is clearly a racial tactic and the American people can see right through it.
If Hillary wants to talk about how President Bush is "pathetic" for going to the Saudis to ask for more oil, than how is this any different?

Wow...the titan from the 90's stayed awake. Now that's a headline. The last one I saw of him in a church had him stone cold out...wasn't that MKL Jr. that was speaking when we was asleep. Yep...I think it was.

Someone needs to tell Bill Clinton that he is a 'white' man and it doesn't look good for him to concentrate on 'only' black churches. How often does he go to a 'black' church when it is not a campaign year?

Obama '08
