We are behind you Obama!!!

People are jumping around yelling "Universal Healthcare" like its free!! This is a free country, you cannot force an adult to buy healthcare the same way you can't force an adult to buy life insurance! Its that simple! I'm not going to condone someone dipping their hand into my paycheck ! Lol…im not even going to spend my time whinning anymore, her healthcare failed woefully before, it will fail again….."YES IT WILL"

Fact Check: Sen. Obama Follows Hillary's Lead On Gulf Coast Recovery Plan
2/7/2008 1:03:02 PM

In May, Hillary introduced a comprehensive Gulf Coast Recovery Agenda.

Three months later, in August, Sen. Obama released a very similar proposal.
Today, Sen. Obama "introduced" the same plan he released in August.

Vote OBAMA '08!!!

The best candidate. Period.

We need a real change Obama is that change Hillary is the same old same old.

How dare he put his photo with the devastations of New Orleans and Louisiana? Where the hell was he when this nightmare occurred? Why didn't he say even a single word or do a single thing to ease the pain of his brothers and sisters in the African American community? I hope now people can see what an opportunist he is!!!! When is this guy going to run out of hot air to feed the gullable people of America?

Obama and Clinton need to end the war between them and settle on the only ticket that can defeat McCain - Obama/Clinton.

All Hillary supporters should go to Factcheck.org to see what a great, honest candidate she really is. Hillary sent out mailers in key states before Super Tuesday which painted a false picture of Obama's proposals, twisted his words, and outright lied. Check it out for yourself. Of course, no one wants the truth, just more of the same old behind the scenes maneuvering.

Obama '08.

Go Obama Go..

I'ts time for change for all and with Obama it going to happen. I have respect for Hillary she is a women like myself. I am proud of everyting that she had to endure being a women.But how can ANYONE not feel that it is time for a new era in our Dem party. Obama is what America need. Regarless if your black,white,Latino, Asian. I am 35yrs old its time for Parents to setp aside and let us run this Great land of ours. They should be proud that help Motivate and create a good man to take our country to the next level and past the torch to our children.

GO OBAMA!!!!!!!
YES WE CAN!!!!!!

The funny thing is that Obama didn't even write his own "yes, we can" speech that is getting so much attention. He is the only candidate that uses a teleprompter and a group of speech writers when he speaks. I prefer a candidate that has enough knowledge on the issues to speak from the head and the heart.

Gov. Christine Gregoire for VP!!! The right woman at the right time.

Obama/Gregoire 08!!!

The queen of self reinvention: Bilary is remaking herself as the under dog. What does that mean?

She is framing herself as the anti establishment campaign, because one of her rich cash cows asked the to take the money over the internet because he has reached his max.

He advised her to reframe herself as an underdog, so people will feel sorry for her and give. That's when her campaign money comes in. She then makes a loan to herself saying that she is broke. Poor hilary. Everyone runs to the internet and gives generously to "poor" bilary.

I still remember the tears all the 2 times of manufactured distress. She is still at it, manufacturing broke to gain sympathy.

There is one thing I learned form seing Bilary on the campaign trail. She is a comedian. She is a liar, and she will do anything, say anything to fool the american people.

She tricked thousands of hispanic voters to vote for her because they don't know much about english. Seing her cry was all they needed to fall for her.

As an american, I am insulted, ashamed and frankly, if she wins, I will stay home. I don't like anyone insulting my intelligence.

I voted for her before. However, since the tears and all those lies about Obama, I found out that she had me too. She will never trick me again.

“There are people all across this great nation who are counting on us. Who cannot afford another four years without health care. They can’t afford another four years without good schools. They can’t afford another four years without decent wages.”

That will be true four years from now, too. I really want to support the Democrats, but they just sicken me with their lies every year, so it's looking like I'll stick with Ron Paul regardless of whether he wins the Republican nomination.

It's the great music before the speech that makes you buy it. That's why they play
it while you're shopping. He didn't win the really big states with the really big
electoral college votes. If you can't win them you can't win the presidency.
CHANGE? G.W.promised us change. How's THAT change working for you?
It is said the first casualty of war is the truth. Politics IS war!
REALITY FIRST PEOPLE! Clintons have a track record of beating republicans.
Enough said.

Pmet, did you conveniently miss the other story on Factcheck.org that showed how the Obama campaign sent out mailers about Hillary's health care plan that painted a false picture of HER proposals, mislead the readers, and outright lied. I guess so. Maybe you should go back and look again.

Hillary "08

Obama's mailers twisted Hillary's policy and vision (go factcheck.org).
That is how Obama and his folks tried to do as an underdog. However, people won't fall into that trap.

We need people who stand and on top of issue and have the substance, not just a good talker.

Vote Hillary.

The way they follow and believe reminds me of another fellow from Kansas.

You know who. The great, all-knowing wonderful WIZARD OF OZ!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Universal Health care sounds great, but do we really want the same people that run the IRS running our health care. Lets stray away from government intervention in every aspect of our life

That shirt with the devastation from the Tornados is just as bad as Bush promoting 911 last election,that's disgusting,he's doing that for political gain,boy if Hillary was doing that it would be plastered all over the news for days,of how could she use their grief for political gain!!! Obama is doing it, it seems to be okay!!! I hope to see or hear something on it the news Do you news men think that is appropriate!!!!!

I think we should let the democrats take this election so we can show people again how screwed up they are. I guess shutting down Congress like they have is not enough.

This looks like it will be a glorious ad for Obama and will yield him a very wide-margin victory like he achieved in South Carolina. This is very clever. Obama is really pushing Bill Clinton aside in the areas of charisma, smarts, tactics, and an overall sense of quiet brilliance and an intensity that is charging crowds and voters wherever he sets foot.

For all of you who are against Barack Obama, heed this warning:

"Touch not God's anointed."

I'm on board of 2008!

Go Obama!

Apparently Obama, also, painted a false picture of Hillary's proposals, twisted her words, and outright lied!! I guess he's not perfect. CNN must be wrong about him, he's not a savior!!! But, he sure would make a good TV Preacher!!!

Ummm Hillary cannot even manage her campaign monies… How is she going to manage the United States…let alone help the poor in LA?

Also, did anyone hear about the NM recount?

Some Clinton Supporter who is a Woman and is married to a NM State senator took 3 ballot boxes home on the night of Feb 5th.

FACT

I'm a Canadian, and we enjoy what Hillary calls "universal heathcare" My husband almost died last summer and underwent life saving surgery that cost us a grand total of $0.00. Imagine!
We pay about 6.00 each payday for this heathcare. Every Canadian Citizen is covered with Medicare Whetered or not you are employed, working, pensioned no matter what you have full coverage by medicare
You can walk into any doctor's office and day of the week and you pay nothing!
We have separate prescription drug and dental insurance which cost us a whopping $30.00 a month LOL! This $30.00 also guarantees you 80% of your salary should you fall ill and cannot work.
Hillary Clinton studied our medicare system intensively and she knows it can work for the U.S. too. Be smart people your health is your life.. If for no other reason vote for Hillary for health care.
Know what it costs to birth a baby in Canada? $0.00
Open heart surgery $0.00
etc etc etc

HILLARY 08

Bush - Clinton - Bush - Clinton. Two families ruling this country. Is this really what this country needs? Think about it.

You never know, in 8 years perhaps you Hilary supporters will start campaigning for Jenna Bush seeing as she is a female.

It's unfortunate that Obama did not support the bill that would have provided more funding to Louisianna. It's easy to have your picture taking down here but the fact that you voted against that bill and Clinton voted for it tells us how shallow and obscene you really are.

As a black man living down here I have not forgotten that vote and many of us remember it like it was yesterday.

Sorry sir, you will not get my vote. Just because you are black don't think the rest of us is a guaranteed vote like you were allowed to have in South Carolina and Georgia.

Hilliary also said….WAY BACK WHEN BILL WAS ELECTED FOR HIS FIRST TERM…that she was going to completely revamp our health care plan so every American would be covered. That was how long ago? She didn't do it then and I don't see her doing it now. The Bush/Clintons/Bush administrations are OVER! As much as I liked Bill, he liked to every American when he pointed his finger to the camera and said, "I did not….." OK, so what. He should not have lied. Then he perjured himself. The Clinton administration was the most highly investigated and controversial of our time. Sorry, we're there is smoke there is fire and with Bill right next to Hilliary, still calling the shots and causing damage as proven by the voters of South Carolina, I'm Obama all the way. I saw him in person twice and can tell you with absolute certainty, this man speaks from a place of truth.

Past Vs Future…In the past the Clintons helped these people..where was Obama..now the future he is there in La for votes only. Mary is right when you hear Obama speak just makes you want to run down to the church stand in line for the next baptism

If Republicans thought Obama could beat McCain, the media would be bashing Obama and scrutinizing his every word, like they are doing to Hillary. They know she can beat McCain…that's why they are in an all out attack on her. Come on Democrats, we have to be smarter…let's not repeat 2000 Election

I am so sick of CNN being overtly biased towards Barack Obama. As a democrat, I acknowledge that CNN always swings towards the left, just as Fox is "fair and balanced" to the right (LOL). Now CNN has stepped it up a notch and recently just engage is flat out unwarranted praise towards Mr. Obama. I like Barack, I think he is great….I just refuse to be spoon fed CNN's overt editorial that just seeps into every single political news story they report. No matter what Hillary does, it is always spun in Obama’s favor. As a man, I can also admit that a great deal of Hillary’s reported “polarization” is due simply because she is a woman. I will vote for either of them…I just am more fearful that Barack is going to turn out to be the Jimmy Carter of the 21st Century (inspiring, huge heart, but terrible president). I don’t want to wait for all of Barak’s great accomplishments to be made after he is President like Jimmy.

Obama is the clear chose for Democratic nominee. He against the War from the start and John McCain doesnt want to talk about the immigration bill he cosponsor with Obama and campaign/finance reform along with ethic reform. The wright wing conservative is outrage with McCain over these Bills. This give Obama the edge. If Sen. Clinton win it would be a popularity contest with McCain, he would win. The best chose is Obama 08!!!!!!!

Carole in Canada:

That's called SOCIALIZED MEDICINE! Something our government has been fighting against for eons!!! Yes, it works well for some, but you have to keep in mind that if you want to have elective surgery (i.e.- not life-saving, but will improve your quality of life), you go on a list & sometimes wait YEARS! There are pros & cons to every proposed plan. You can't just tout the good without fairly mentioning the bad.

Freedom of choice - I CHOOSE to purchase AFFORDABLE health care! Go Obama!

February 8, 2008 4:53 pm ET

We are behind you Obama!!!

Streetjustiz February 8, 2008 4:56 pm ET

People are jumping around yelling "Universal Healthcare" like its free!! This is a free country, you cannot force an adult to buy healthcare the same way you can't force an adult to buy life insurance! Its that simple! I'm not going to condone someone dipping their hand into my paycheck ! Lol…im not even going to spend my time whinning anymore, her healthcare failed woefully before, it will fail again….."YES IT WILL

Exactly, why should I have to pay for it!!

Jenny..Who cares…If she can do it then she can run. You Obama cult members need to think of something else to come up with. Thats getting old, just as old as Obama's same old speech yes we can…Well NO HE CANT!!

and if Jenna wants to run, then she can run. If people like her they will support her.

How sad that he's using the devestation of Katrina to appeal to the voters. I hope the voters are as upset about this as I am.

the ledership means to be strong. hillary will cary like baby if she dont win what kind ledership she can be

How come nobody's crying about Obama using Katrina in his ad? Rudy brings up 9-11 and everybody complained.Obama is using Katrina to win Louisiana and the black vote of course, and it's ok?

Sorry but you're wrong about elective surgery in Canada. I should know, I live here LOL
I chose to have elective surgery on my foot last year. I saw the doctor in Dec and booked my surgery for mid January. I was in and out in a day. No these are just rumors about waiting years for elective surgery
And for the comment about 'forcing' and adult to buy health care, I guess you thought there were no adults in Canada??
I guess you don't know what it is to have our health care system workimng for you
so you don't understand the benefits
these blogs are sad, instead of discussing the issues a lot of you spend your time insulting each other and the candidates. This space could be put to so much better use

HILLARY 08

Obama, endosrements and money can not buy the President of the US. Hillary, will give Obama, a fight for his life. She have won victory over Oprah Winfrey, Caroline Kennedy, Ted Kennedy, John Kerry, and the first lady of CA. Obama, should be ashame of his supporter. Sentor Clinton, have left all of this power hanging.

Obama is taking every single issue Hillary has been addressing for the last 2/3 years, putting a slight twist to them and claiming them for his own. The man has a panel of speech writers , his speeches are via teleprompters, they are not even his own words, only delivered by him. That's why he does not do well in debates and really tries to avoid them as much as possible. What did he do for Katrina Hell? Real leadership, with teleprompters turned off, no ideas to copy, he falls short. Clinton will lead, she is a seasoned politician.

The future of 2012

Barack paints a larger picture of himself than he is by far. This media mirage will not transition into the man for the job in 08. He is premature in his run for president but he brings some excitement to the primaries that Hillary can build on in the general election.

Hillary the HOPE of 08 Barack in the FUTURE of 2012

Oh yes I forgot, not only are we communists up here, we force people to buy health care, we have no adults, and we all live in igloos!!!!!
BTW my son has spent the last 6 months fighting a war in Afghanistan that we backward Canadians had nothing to do with in the first place
HILLARY BRING MY SON HOME!!!!

I am sick and tired of this polarization whether it's by a man or a woman. No one should bash anyone - black, white, male, female. We are all Americans; we are all human beings. I have seen newscasters snicker at both Hillary and Barack.
One is not more attacked than the other. Wouldn't it be great if each individual made up his or her mind without any influence from anybody???? Think about it.

As someone from outside America, I feel sorry for you, you have such a great new candidate in Barack Obama, and he is getting sunk by Hillary because of her gender /latino draw, and she will Lose gainst McCain, as the polling suggests,so you're looking at another 4 years Republican warmonger rule.Once again you're going to be the joke of the world if Obama doesn't get in.

Streetjustiz
The difference is that if you die without any life insurance, NO ONE PAYS.
If you go to the ER or are Hospitalized or go to a Doctor, and DO NOT have Health Insurance, other people pay for you. Health care is not FREE. Someone pays.
That is why EVERYONE needs to have Health Insurance and it needs to be affordable and everyone has to pay into it.
We are behind the rest of the world in understanding this simple concept:
People who do not have health insurance STILL GET SICK.

Obama endorsements, and money will not buy the President of the US. Hillary will give him a fight of his life. Oprah Winfrey, Caroline Kennedy, Ted Kennedy/son, John Kerry, Steive Wonder, and the first lady of CA, could not get the job done. Hillary, left all hanging. Also, Ted & John, could not win their home state for Obama."SHAME SHAME".

Wake up America! Barack can say "yes we can" but he cannot make the signficant change that most of his supporters think he can, he may look different and that is appealing but he is NOT different. Remember these are CAMPAIGN promises….

Obama endorsements, and money can not buy the President of the US. Hillary, will give him a fight of his life. Oprah Winfrey, Caroline Kennedy, Ted Kennedy/son, John Kerry, Steive Wonder, and the first lady of CA could not get the job done. Hillary, left all hanging. Ted & John, could not win their home state for Obama. SHAME SHAME.

Thank God we had Hillary as a Senator during the Bush administration. She fought hard to keep balance and for Democrats. Imagin if we didn't have Senators like her if office. The housing market is nothing. Obama doesn't have that record. He is wet behind the ears and full of rhetoric (blah, blah, blah).

Obama is the only choice as I see it. It does not take experience to be honest and exihibit integrity which Hiliary has neither of. Look at what her 35 years of experience got the American people…more of nothing.
The 1990's are in the past and if you take time to look back you waste time moving to the future.
No more living in the past for me….Obama all the way.
I would love to see a qualified female in the White House, just not her.

Speaking of ads Obamas are like a head-on commercial. Sickening!!!!

LOL taking Hillary issues.. COME ON WAKE UP! He has to address the same issues… "There America's PROBLEMS" .. I know for sure I need to vote for OBAMA!

Frank, I agree I thought the same thing when I saw him in New Orleans. Has he, as many Senators have, went to Iraq? Has he visited our troops anywhere? Much safer here, it's also a lot safer not to vote on important issues like Iran.

Okay so Obama wasn't in New Orleans after Katrina but he has the lone vision for rebuilding it and he doesn't believe in monastic dynasty but he fell over himself standing up with the Kennedys and didn't support the war but he wasn't in the Senate when the vote was taken and since then he has a voting record identical to Senator Clinton. But he thinks he has a unique vision

You're right. PEOPLE, HILLARY SUPPORTERS, you are not thinking this through. We are at war and in debt. In order to get universal health care there will be major sacrafices. Taxes will go up if both parties accept it (Which I doubt if the Nation is in a over Trillion dollar dept) and on top of that we have to pay for the War when the troops are out and plus the things with the economy now. America, please, think. We can't have universal health care, at least not as soon as Hillary wants it. Baracks plan would help with the nation's debt instead of making it possibly worse. I hope you all think about "what about all of the money the government owes".

All I can say is, "Oh…. my….. Gosh". I live in seattle, wa, and today I had the honor of seeing Barack Obama in person. I will remember this day for the rest of my life, and I'm sure the other 26,000 people will to. I stood in line for 3 hours in the blistering cold along with1000's of other supporters, and the spirit was that of unity, with the energy being electric. I've never been into politics because I don't trust our elected officials. It seems as if they always promise alot, but once there in office they forget the plight of those who elected them. Barack Obama however is different. It's just something about him that resinates with people of all backgrounds, ages, genders, races. He symbolizes what's good in america. A true champion of change both by words, actions, and judgement. Someone that knows real change doesn't start with those at the top, but by those from the bottom up. He's given a majority of his life fighting to help the forgotten; the little guy; and if he's elected he will remember you…He will remember me…and real change will restore americas past beauty. It will restore americas place in the nation, and it will restore americas respect in the world.

hillary bring the troops home! why did u vote for the war?

Obama is the best candidate for this county!
I'm a woman and I voted for Obama!

Should have seen the Obama rally today at Key Arena in Seattle. Youd think it was a Led Zeppelin reunion show. 18,000 to fill the arena and thousands more outside that couldnt get in. AMAZING!
The caucuses tomorrow are going to be a HUGE turnout. Seattle voters are out in n umbers, for both candidates.
I am just happy that for once…for once…voting in our corner of the country actually will count for something. For us, the elctions are mostly over once the east coast results come in.
Seattle is wired for this!

There is no future without past. Obama is following Hillary's idea, he lied about Healthcare too, Obama has no his own idea, he adopted Hillary's idea. John, I would better have Republican rather than Obama, he is naive and inexperienced, he will screw up more than Republican with Oprah, John Kerry and Kennedy.

Hillary can not build on the people Obama's bringing in, simply because they don't like her. Myself and my parents, life long Republicans that voted for Bush twice, My three sons ages 22-18 voting for the very first time. We all love Obama and we all think that Billary is the worst thing to happen to the country. If Obama does not get the nomination, McCain has 6 votes in this house.

For real change there is really only one solution to our situation.

Everybody needs to step back and realize that both Clinton and Obama are very good people and that is is highly unlikely that there are enough delegates left in any states left to throw one over the top with the delegates they each need. One wil out trump the other in different states and the count will stay very close to each other barring one of them doing real damage to themselves. Very unlikely scenario as they are both to intellegent to let anything go that far.

So Clinton is older and has more experience currently and if Obama really wants change then step aside "only if" Clinton will take him as her VP running mate. If she would not immediately with him annouce such an alliance then he should stay in the race as she will prove herself not to be as smart as people think she is cabable of being.

With this alliance the democrats would have a real chance of keeping the White House for the next 16 years. He also would be great to help keep the people motivated in keeping both houses of congress with a democratic stronghold. This means real changes and progress can be made over this 16 years.

Also if democrats did winner take all like the republicans versus the much more fair way of proportional allocation of delegates we do Clinton would already have a commanding lead as she as taken the delegate rich states thus far.

To me this would be a real change and way to powerfully allign the democratic party.

I LIKE THIS POST VERY MUCH, enjoy—

The media focus should focus on WHERE Billary gets their BIG under the table money, income tax returns, and on the scandals that the Republicans will use.

Hillary Clinton scandals:

- The disappearance of the Rose law firm billing records, their later discovery in the White House and Hillary Clinton’s inability to explain how they got there.

- Her huge and inexplicable winnings in a cattle futures operation

- Her role in the Whitewater development which was - although the media refuses to admit it - simply a land resort scam and one that was particularly aimed at seniors.

- Her role in the despicable White House travel office firings apparently aimed at favoring the travel firm that bankrolled Bill Clinton’s campaign by delayed billing.

- Her role in the use of FBI files on political opponents and the open question of what information from these files she still possesses.

- A case, still in court, involving the alleged failure to report over a million dollars in campaign contributions. Clinton’s Senate campaign has already been fined by the FEC for failing to accurately report $700,000 in contributions.

- Her relationship with such indisputably dubious persons such as Johnny Chung, John Huang, Ng Lap Seng, Mochtar Riady, the McDougalds, Craig Livingstone, Webster Hubbell and Jorge Cabrera

Carol in Canada.

You are right, healthcare in Canada is great but Universal healthcare is different not to mention the cost of healthcare in the U.S.A is driven by the insurance companies and pharmaceutical companies to name a few and if there are no mandates to get the cost down he government won't be able to carry the bill. I don't know what Hillary's healthplan will cost but I bet it won't be $6.00.

Obama has all the positive headlines on CNN!!!! SOmething tells me there is a bit of bias going on. This is not fair reporting and should not be tolerated by anyone. I agree race, religion, gender etc. should have no role, but unfortunately the press continues to bring it up. Let it go. Look at the issues and the person. Look at who is best qualified to serve this country. We need someone with experience, determination, ability, strength and I feel that is Hillary Clinton. Obama will need lots of help just like Bush. I vote Hillary and will vote another party if my choice is Obama. Go Hillary!!! And shame on CNN for their biased reporting!!!!

Hillary is the best candidate to lead this Country into prosperity again. Can women really wait for another 200 years before they are taken seriously for the presidency? Why is the standard raised so high for Hillary?

All American women will be sorry if they do not support one of their own, especially one with the qualification of Hillary. It would be a shame. And thanks to the media for this.

Carole in Canada
Thank you for clarification in Hillary's health care plan. Many do not understand how wonderful this is. Obama's plan leaves 15 million Americans out.

Also, a prayer for your son.

Obama should not be using the Katrina incidence to get votes. How come nobody is calling this an outrage. Oh but of cos its Obama. He can do no wrong.

Hillary 08

What do grown ups always tell younger generations, no you can't, life is complicated, your not experienced enought, we can't do this, we can't do that, get real. WELL SORRY BUT THAT IS NOT WHAT CREATED THIS GREAT NATION WE HAVE. It took HOPE, it took VISION, it took OPTIMISIM, it took LEADERSHIP, and gonads to dare to change what was previously thought impossible.U.S. colonies vs the ENTIRE BRITISH EMPIRE?! no way.. but guess what YES WAY!

It's funny how thhis is exactly what is going on in this election. Who would have ever thought Obama would be where he is today, oh he's clean n' he can talk he wont be able to raise any money, or debate on the same level with clinton machine….what are we seeing today? Now all that is left is oh expereince no experience…

Its not about beating republican, its about MOVIN THIS NATION FOWARD! Move over it's time to TURN THE PAGE, and MOVE THIS NATION INTO THE FUTURE!!

-Obama 08!!!

Carole, I base my opinions on 'universal health care' off a professor of mine who is originally from England who says its nothing short of a crock and is very sad the way things are ran there.

Hospitals are much nicer in the United States, and since good money is involved, we tend to have the better doctors as well. People here object to paying more taxes for a bureaucracy that cant handle rebuilding New Orleans to control our lives and our health, that's the issue.

to jay about the louisiana funding:

the bill was for drilling away your coastline. not sure why you'd want that if most of your state is already below sea level……

Obama talked big and talked very smooth to get young voters get excited and vote for change. Talk about change is easy, but actual be able implement the change is not as simple like what he said. Standing out there and talk like a frog, but somehow got poeple believe that he might be a good president (remain to be seen). If one want to go out for a beer, that will be a good guy to go with, but running a country he still has a lot to learn (believe so). Fun to go out for a date, but to run a nation, you don't need that guy. Beleive or not, he wife will look very stupid to be a first lady.

Barack the FUTURE of 2016?

Hillary the HOPE of 08 and 2012

You know what—they both distorted facts——not so much obama as Cllinton did. But then you have to mix Bill Cllinton up in all this distortion of facts two. Come on guys, at least the bloggers be honest here. Hillarys 8 state win to Obama's 13 or 14 state wins. What does that tell you? He's bound to pick up more this Saturday over her too. This is election year . Clinton fights for free coverage because of money woo's and does an article about what she wore in the nintys to some Darn High power pow wow(she shouldn't mention), and Obama use's Katrina for a ad. Call it a draw, call it politics——–call it what you want, people. this ain't what it's about. Mccain voted for the war, Obama can hold that over his head—————–Hillary can't because she voted for the war too. Hillary had a failed health care system in the 90's that mccain can use against her——–He can't use that against Obama. Mccain can say " Do you want Bill Clinton haveing Sex in your White House again". He doesn't have that immoral behavior againt Obama, either. The fact is if you and I can come up with 100 different things that Mccain can use against the clintons in this election, Just think what Mccain after 20 years in the senate knows about Hillary Clinton—–that the plublilc probally doesn't! Know be honest with yourself————who has the better chance of being elected with the less dirt Mccain and his party can use against them? yep! If you sid Obama——-you'd be right——-there's your ans. and the best Dem. to beat a Republican————–so keep being stubborn——-and lose the White House again for us all. You'll hate yourself for it later, when you can't change your mind.

Thank God we live in a country where we can vote for who we want.

Go Barack!

For the Obama supporters were you not taught that you should not have any other God before me. The last time I looked he was a mortal man not someone that walks on water. You need to read article written on ABC site about the Obama cult. It really is starting to freak people out. He is a candidate for the presidence he is not up for sainthood the last time I liiked. This talk of him being the chosen one will turn voters away.

When are you people going to wake up and NOT trust the polls. How many times have they been wrong in the past few months?? Hillary can and WILL beat McCain. This country is ready for a President who will do the right thing for the citizens of THIS country. Now, if all of you Obama supporters get your feelings hurt if Obama does not win the nomination, then not vote for Hillary because of that, don't scream when you have a Pesident who wants to keep troops in Iraq indefintely. I have never seen such a group of mean spirited people who say the most horrible things about Hillary. You all need to grow up, read the FACTS and then make an educated decision on who who be the best nominee. And not just becasue he can give a good speech written by someone other then himself.

I will not vote for anyone who promotes a 'have' and 'have not' society. Senator Obama is excluding 15 million people from his healthcare proposed program. Are you one of them?

Senator Clinton has won in the states and 8 of them on Super Tuesday against the Republicans. She won in states that are needed to take the White House. Senator Obama did not win in states that are on the road to the White House for the Democratic Party. He won in states that are and will remain 'red'.

Senator Obama is devisive in his healthcare proposal. With what he has proposed so far, what else will he split the country on???

Yes, he cares so much that his supporters posted a womans name, address and telephone number on his blog. Hello…that's breaking the law.

I wouldn't want my private info on a blog where hundreds, if not thousand of people are free to call or knock on my door.

I continue to hear people of America shouting for change. Just one question…Which candidate is offering change? Hillary promises socialism, Obama promises…well whatever he thinks will make him look more presidential than Hillary, McCain carries the stick of war and the promise of amnesty for illegals, Huckabee keeps hoping to follow in the foot steps of W by carrying the evangelical vote……The answer is simply RON PAUL. He offers the greatest change of all…actually following the U.S. Constitution! You want to return America to its former greatness? Save the constitution! Vote RON PAUL!!!! Wake Up my fellow Americans! The United States belongs to us all, not just those on the Hill and in the Oval Office!

European love Hillary!!! and so does Japan, prefer Hillary and also most of asian countries. I dunno what you said about all the world. LOOK AT THE CNN SURVEY

I WILL NEVER VOTE FOR BARACK OBAMA! I will vote republican if he wins the democratic nomination.

Alaska, North Dakota, Idaho. . . Not many Blacks, but Obama won. How?

You want to see the difference between the two log on to each of their websites. First read Hillary's blog, maybe the 3 newest posts.. or choose 3 at random. They are all the same, putting down Obama, why she is better than him, etc. Then look at Obama's blog and read 3 posts.. they are about him.. articles, notices about rallies, about his supporters and contributers, they call to action and get people involved.

Sorry but if that is all Hillary has to write about that is sad.. and a cheap way to have a dirty election.

Obama is really what this country needs. By the way, I am a woman and the prospect of a woman president is really exciting. But not this woman.. She's just the wrong one for the job.

Obama. Yes, We Can

Come on Obama it's time to engage in a series of debates with Hillary, no prepared speeches written by committee, no teleprompters. Let's see what you really know about the issues.

What are you afraid of?

Give me a break!!!! Obama talks of "change". Just what is he going to "change" and how is he going to do it ??? This "change" could be devastating with his lack of expertise and experience. Hillary Clinton is geing accused by the Obama supporters of everything Obama really is——namely a phoney. I hope the people of Louisiana and the other states where primaries have yet to be held, see him for what he has proven himself to be. He is not presidential material!!!!!

Vote Hillary !!! Get our troops home and the economy back on track!!!!

All you die-hard Hillary supporters need to fess up. You are mostly supporting Hillary because she is married to Bill Clinton and you think Bill will be back running things if Hillary is elected. Plain and simple. Hillary is the one not ready for "prime time" as President of the US. She has been whining, crying and begging over the past 6 weeks. Obama is ready to be "right" on day one!

Obama in '08!

50% of the voters in Louisiana will be African Amercian so let's not pretend that there can be any other outcome than Obama winning. Start gloating if you want to but it means absolutely nothing about his strength or divinity as his supporters have come to believe. He is not God and is not a prophet people. He is a human being who has flaws just like we all do. Stop spewing hate against Hillary and everyone else who doesn't "believe" in him.

Hillary supporters, ever notice every time Obama gets a new slogan or finds a way to motivate his supporters, lo and behold Hillary starts moving in that direction and or starts saying or using his stuff like today she took his "YES WE CAN"!!! Geez
You all say Obama is too young too inexperience etc…at least he's original and not the fake as the Clintons are which oh by the way is starting to show through their sheeps clothing…
OBAMA in 08!!!

Hillary is NOT the past. She can look back with pride to the successful Bill Clinton administration in which she was involved, but she has her own vision for the future which is more realistic, more specific, more detail than Obama's empty promises.

Hillary's vision is based on her solid foundation of serving Americans since she was in College.

Obama's vision is based on what??? What had he exactly done before being skyrocketed to the presidential election? People, think!!!

Obama is getting more and more ingratiating in his phoney deference and nice-nice talk about Hillary. Personally, I can't stand him - as far as I'm concerned he's a power hungry politican who knows how to talk a good game. I hope he loses

Is Sam implying that if women don't vote for Hillary, it will be another 200 years before another worthy female candidate comes along? HAH! The bar is always high for women, I know, I am one and I would not vote for Hillary for any reason on earth, the least of which is her gender. Our time will come, but she is the wrong candidate just because she is Bill's wife doesn't mean she can lead the country…no thank you!!!

I expet Obama to carry Wisconsin feb. 19th our Gov is backing him of course it could be because Obama came and camaigned for him when it was his reelection. Our lt. gov is supporting Hillary. My union is supporting Hillary, Obama may carry the WI because what has become Obama's rockstar like status or second coming of Jesus status, but he wont be getting my voting and I am speaking as an African American and I have listened to both canidates and I think Hillary has more substance. I have many latino friends who are literally shaking in their boots at the prospect o f Obama getting the nod.

Sweet talks!! Pampering voters and giving them what they want to hear will not do good for the nation. If I want a dose of inspiration, I would rather buy a book of "chicken soups for minds" and I will not vote for a sweet talker as I cannot afford to lose my job, my home because of his lack of attention to detail and ability to execute to deliver results.

Obama cant build on people Hillary is bringing in either. And there are people who dont like Obama. What, do you think everyone likes him because a bunch of mindless young kids that arent old enough to vote chase after him? His speeches are same old, same old. His ideas are all based on Hillarys. No, not everyone likes this man and I will never vote for him. I turn the channel everytime he is shown because I cant stand the sight of him or to listen to another blab, blab , blab from him.

Obama is very arrogant in that Ad…. Of course he's playing up to the blacks in that state. If he really cared, he would have built a home or two for his fellow people.

The Clinton(s) againg in the white House; what did they forget their? enough is enough let us all go for a Change…… Go Obama

Smoke and mirrors won't do much to make sure FEMA is overhauled and that we all have health care. Yes, her plans have factual step-by-step plans that for a mere candidate are a incredibly thought out and complete. Intelligent people can see through fantasy ads to what will make this country rise.

Hill Yeah!!

and I think Obama has no right using this post-Katrina pictures in his campaign! He wasn't even there when this happened. Another politician who will do everything to get a vote!!!

bill clinton as the frist lady or last man standing.

I am from New Orleans and it sickens me to see Obama claiming that he cares. He comes down here during an election acting like he really cares. BULL!!!! One visit means he cares enough to try to be elected. Where was he and the rest of the nation when we really needed him. Oh, maybe he was working with Nagin on a recovery plan that never materialized, DUH!!!! A vote for Obama is a vote for more poverty, heartache and more of the same lack of progress Nagin has brought to New Orleans. Don't throw New Orleans away by throwing your vote away and giving it to Obama.

I have the same problems with Obama running ads with the Katrina devastation, even in Louisiana, as I did with Guiliani running on 9/11. These are tragedies, not campaign fodder.

As for the health plans, Clinton and Obama have both been clear about how they're going to pay for their healthcare initiatives and have detailed plans in place. And when the estimated cost is broken down by the estimated number of people it will cover (by an indepentent economist, not either campaign), Clinton's is actually less expensive per person.

Giulliani got crucified using 9/11 as part of his campaign. So how is Obama getting away with this? Isn't this his first visit to New Orleans since Katrina? Oh, I get it, it was a little too hard to swallow that a nation as glorious as ours allowed this to happen to one of it's cities, so he voted "NOT PRESENT".

jershom, there are no politicians shadier than the Clintons. If you can't admit that, there's some swamp land in Florida I want to sell you.

I'm for Obama, but I think GW left such a mess, no one can fix it in 4 yrs. Who ever gets in will be hated.

Hillary will lose to McCain. Then Obama will waltz in 2012.

So, Go Billary!!! Give the white house to Republicans!

Streetjustiz, you and other Americans really need to take a step back and look at the reality of universal health care. Carol in Canada above is absolutely right. I'm Canadian too. Our system is great. It only costs us a few dollars per pay. We're covered for everything from ingrown toe nails to brain surgery. Real doctors. Hospitals better than most of yours.

The reality is NO democratic candidate that even comes close to true universal health care. Your lobbiest system is so entrenched the candidates can't even touch the idea yet.

If you want universal health care, or any other positive change, you first need to get rid of all the lobbiests. Then you can try. Obama is the only one willing to take these people on. Do that first, THEN you can change your country - and hopefully start to catch up with the rest of the world.

Clinton will only bring you eight more years of decline towards the third world.

One aspect of Obama's candidacy that seems to get little attention in the US, is that many people across the world - Ireland, Britain, France (!), Germany, Italy, Kenya (naturally!), South Africa, Japan, India, Australia and Canada are not only riveted by these primaries but also seem to be rooting for Obama. I'm not suggesting that should be the only consideration, but surely at a time when the US has taken a hit to its international image, it would be a huge advantage to have a candidate who the world is already receptive to. Even beyond that, his credentials are impressive so I don't believe that it's just on the basis of image or his oratorical skills.

I'm not American and don't mean to interfere - just suggesting people factor in both domestic and international implications of your choice for president.

to carole in canada.

Please do not mislead the folks in the USA when it comes to Heathcare. Yes it has its advantages. However I do recall that not too long ago our emergency units were closed and patients were ushered from one hospital to another because our Universal Health care system was failing us. Hospital doors were closed, there was insufficient funding and our doctors were basically calling for an overhaul of the system.

Where do you think the funding for 'Universal Health care 'comes from……
Our tax dollars!!.. compared to the USA our personal income tax levels are way beyond belief…. NOTHING IS FOR FREE my dear.. We pay for everything directly or indirectly.

The US economy is near or in a recession, foreclosures are at an all time high and yet the discussion of having a mandatory Universal heath care system seems reasonable? THERE IS NO MONEY FOLKS. Penalties incurred for not subscribing to a manadatory Heathcare system would result in further financial hardship ..

A subsidized heathcare system makes sense, it's affordable and attainable for all.

I believe you're asking the WRONG person to bring YOUR SON HOME!! HE WOULD NOT HAVE BEEN THERE IN THE 1ST PLACE . HILARY WAS THE ONE WHO VOTED FOR THE WAR REMEMBER!!!

OBAMA 2008!!

The governor of Washington endorsed Obama because he has charisma? When I think of the greart northwest and charisma in the same sentence I think of Ted Bundy.

HILLARY tell the American People what happens if you don't get HILLARY CARE?

HMMMMMMMMMM ????

Hillary Healthcare plan will be anti democratic by madate on its Voter.

Adults should be able to make that choice themselves.

and in some cases Garnishing wages.

With all the troubles with the VA medical Center Government operated

Why would anyone trust a Government mandated Healthcare, that offer no choice.

Veterans deserve better,

Obama 08

Please address if I am wrong

Sen Obama's great speaches is all that is there. Looking back on what the people who actually need health care, who actually need security and insurance are the people who have voted for Sen Clinton. Ofcourse the big wigs have voted for Sen Obama coz they are going to get what they want from him and the press who are being so unfair towards sen. Clinton. Why don;t you want our country to move up? do you want change even more for the worse? Hilary is the right canidate to move this country out of the rut.

We are behind you!!!!!
Go Obama !!!!!
Yes you can change !!!!!!!!!
Sual-Ok Lion in Berlin,Germany

There is absolutely nothing wrong and everything right about Obama taking photo in devastation of New Orleans. He wasn't running for president when this tragedy occurred, George Bush was. And didn't The people should be slamming George Bush for his (non) reaction, not Obama. He is doing the right and is telling the people of LA he as president will always do the right thing by them, unlike Bush. Also, where is mention of all Obama overseas primary wins? Japan, Denmark, Indonesia, Germany…
Yet, Clinton winning American Somoa (?) was headlined everywhere! Barack Obama, more than 25 YEARS EXPERIENCE, ready to lead — FROM DAY ONE! OBAMA '08!!!

Some Clinton Supporter who is a Woman and is married to a NM State senator took 3 ballot boxes home on the night of Feb 5th.

FACT

I am stunned at all the money Obama is spending on campaign ads and all the promises he is making. Where is he going to get the money to do all the things he is promising to do. I think his inexperience is going to get him in trouble if he is elected President of the United States. He is promising to much without the ability of funding to make good on those promises. I am very worried that he is promising things he won't be able to deliver, therefore, I am considering changing my vote to Clinton. I remember when Bill Clinton was in office..he may have done some things that I don't like but the state of our country was 100% better than it is now.

""I believe you're asking the WRONG person to bring YOUR SON HOME!! HE WOULD NOT HAVE BEEN THERE IN THE 1ST PLACE . HILARY WAS THE ONE WHO VOTED FOR THE WAR REMEMBER!!!""

Didn't I read somewhere that Obama was not even in the senate yet when 'the vote' happened Didn't he join the Senate in 2005. He could not of voted for/against the war as he wasn't even there to vote. The quote read "he started out saying he 'would not' have voted for the war and now he's saying he 'didn't' vote for the war." I guess that would be true if he wasn't even there. BTW I have a clear recollection of the voting etc before the war in IRAQ and many many politicians were duped by the BUSH WAR MACHINE, even Collen Powell

I remember watching a documentary about the saddest of situations involving a young man who was trying to stave off infection in a wound he was sewing up himself because he had no money to see a doctor. Horrifying!! "Mislead the people of the U.S.A. on our Health Care system NO I think not " BUT I do know this…If we had the U.S. Medicare system, here in Canada, my husband would be dead today, because we could never have afforded the surgery that saved his life So tell me how can you criticize a health care system that saves a man's life

Vote Hillary!
Hillary bring my son home!

It looks like Clintonians have short memories.. Hillary's universal healthcare promises in 1992 did not get realized.. do you think this time around Hillary's system will fly…

My friends, unless you eliminate the powerfull lobbyists and special interest groups in Washington first, no system will work.. You are all dreaming unless you begin by cleaning house first…

Hillary is opposed to cleaning up Washington.. she is a part of this system.. Obama's will take on Washington.. He owes nothing to anyone.. his campaign funds are clean… No contributions from companies and interest groups.

Wake up Clintonians.. go OBAMA 08.. help us reclaim our country..

Holly B, I agree. I am all for a women in the White House just not her. I will wait 200 more years if that is the case

Let's be factual about the 1990's, I do not want to go back there and Hillary brings 35 years of a particular mindset that should not be a part of our future. There was some good times when Bill was president and Hillary was first lady but there was some atrocities as well.

1994 Rwanda–800,000-1,00,000 africans were killed, on their watch. So much for foreign policy.

Welfare reform–took many single parents out of the home without a effective vocational program in place to ensure economic stability beyond the 1990's. so much for social reform.

Prison system: More african americans lock up dis-proportionaltely to others during the Clinton's reign. Just to mention a few.

OBAMA 08…….. all he way……

I call a spade a spade…obama will never be president, he will never be the man, he will never be the man…he will never be JFK or RFK.. He is just a 1st term junior senator with unrealistic ideals. Oprah could waiste another 32 million this month and he still isnt gonna get past the superdelegates…He isnt JFK and Oprah isnt sinatra…Hillary isnt perfect, but she has experience and what counts, and thats political clout to get the job done in the US and overseas..Semper Fi….

I am still waiting for someone…anyone…to please tell me and the rest of the country what real experience Hillary Clinton has that somehow is supposed to be superior to Obama. Neither has been president before. Obama has held elective office longer than Hillary. Obama actually practiced law for people…not corporations like Hillary. His life has been a lot more like most Americans than Clinton.

Hey guys - I'm a white guy republican - voting for Barack. Why? Because he has integrity and our party hasn't for 7 years. BUT - I'd rather rot in hell than vote for the bottom of the integrity barrel - Hillary.

Common guys - wake up. Get behind Obama so someone with decent intentions can sit in the oval office. Don't make us typical conservatives vote for McCain!

I watched the caucus in Seattle and have come to the conclusion that this system of voting is the most undemocratic way to run an election. It looks like a mob scene in Times Square. Real democracy requires secret ballot. The ones with the biggest mouths rule the roost. They are the most intimidating to voters who disagree. We should have a primary system where everyone can vote not just the few who show up for a few hours. HKaltb

Why bother to hold a primary next Tuesday? My vote obviously won't count anyway, stupid to hold both caucas and primary.

I don't trust Obama for one minute, and I certainly don't want him in the white house.

I currently spend $120 per week for health care through my employer, under BO''s plan he would reduce my plan by $2500 per year, this leaves $72 per week for health care. how many americans can afford this plan? If Americans think the big Insurance companies are going to lower your rates and allow you keep the same coverage THINK AGAIN!.

The media reports that Obama supporters are the affluent ,college educated and the youth, oh and yes the african americans.Hillary supporters are the middle and low income and the poor. Why? The rich support him because they know Hillary cares for and will work to improve the lives of the less fortunate and the rich are scared they won't be able to get away with their greed anymore. The young are just star struck or maybe they're on the same happy stuff and the african americans are being led down the garden path.God help America if Obama gets to the Oval Office, He has no idea what hard work there will be to clean up Bush's mess and I doubt if he will get any respect from the rest of the world.

Bush…Clinton….Bush…Clinton? Who's next Jebb Bush and then Chelsea. This is why we've lost respect around the world. I am tired of the jokers playing games with our lives in washington. Hillary health care didn't work in the 90's. You want me to believe that she will it right this time? If Hillary gets the nod, we are voting Mc Cain, period.

Go Obama! If not, go McCain!
