(CNN) — CNN has learned the 1.9 million-member Service Employees International Union is poised to endorse Sen. Barack Obama for President.

Three sources familiar with the deliberations said union leaders met via conference call Thursday to deliberate on the endorsement issue. These sources, speaking to CNN on condition of anonymity, said Obama was the overwhelming choice of the union's state and national leadership.

Barring an unexpected complication, the endorsement could be announced as early as Friday morning, the sources said.

It would be a significant boost for Obama, including in the coming major primary battlegrounds of Ohio, Texas and Pennsylvania.

Thursday afternoon, Obama received another major labor endorsement likely to help in those delegate rich-states, when the 1.3-million member United Food and Commercial Workers Union decided to back his presidential bid.

GREAT!!! SPLENDID!!! PILE THE ENDORSEMENTS ON!!! PILE THEM UP BY THE BOATLOADS!!! GO OBAMA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Woooow.
I cannot describe my feelings. Go Obama, America loves you.

YES WE CAN!

YEEGO' OBAMA   February 14th, 2008 9:28 pm ET

WOO HOOO YES WE CAN!

Jeff CA   February 14th, 2008 9:31 pm ET

The Service Employees International Union's endorsement in California didn't do Obama any good at all. I am a member of the SEIU and no one I know even considered changing their vote because of the union's endorsement.

Obamacan   February 14th, 2008 9:31 pm ET

I'm a Republican that back Obama because I don't believe in the war. Barack has a vision, inspiration and better policies coupled with the best minds behind him… he is a leader. Hillary has solutions… she is a consultant not a leader. As Huck said, "Voters, ultimately, when they think about a leader, are not thinking about somebody who can fix the carburetor as much as it is they want someone who can drive the car and … describe the destination they want to go". If Hillary want to make solutions with out a vision, she need to keep her day job

Terry   February 14th, 2008 9:32 pm ET

Can someone please help me understand Hillary Clinton's claim of 35 years of experience? I think she's been a Senator for 4 years, so where did the rest come from? Please help me understand where she's coming up with that?

Shawn Miehlke   February 14th, 2008 9:33 pm ET

Chalk up another win for Obama, he can not be stopped right now!

Avis C, Richton Park,IL   February 14th, 2008 9:33 pm ET

Obama, you go boy!!! Sorry, or should I say great job young man!!
Either way you can't stop the OBAMA-TRAIN!

I KNOW WE CAN!!! YES WE CAN!!! OBAMA 08!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

noemi   February 14th, 2008 9:33 pm ET

It seems to be that the democratic primary is becoming about race vs gender and not qualifications. If Hillary is not nominated it would be a very long time before another woman like Hillary could have a chance to be President.

Obama time was not now it was Hillary time.

Amy, Ohio   February 14th, 2008 9:35 pm ET

Looks like another demographic of Hillary's base is being eroded by Obama. Ouch!

Farrell, Houston, Tx   February 14th, 2008 9:37 pm ET

McCain is running on the same fear tactics as Bush. It's again all about make the people scared and they'll vote for anybody who tells them to fear. McCain will continue the same tactic with nothing new because he knows it worked for Bush. Don't let it work again, Vote Obama.

LoungeLizard   February 14th, 2008 9:38 pm ET

That's no surprise considering the majority of those union members are black!

chevy   February 14th, 2008 9:40 pm ET

Excellent. America is sending a message to the Clintons, Your reign is OVER!

mary c   February 14th, 2008 9:40 pm ET

Alright! NOW I can sleep tonight. OBAMA is the right candidate - right now!

Mike   February 14th, 2008 9:42 pm ET

Great Choice! Bravo!!

Mike   February 14th, 2008 9:43 pm ET

Let's hope for a win in Wisconsin and Hawaii next Tuesday.

And let's all work to win Ohio and Texas (as well as Vermont and RI).

OBAMA 08

GP   February 14th, 2008 9:45 pm ET

If 90 percent of the blacks are voting for Obama…what can I say?

Ed Zachary   February 14th, 2008 9:45 pm ET

The idea that this was Hillary's "time" is just plain silly. You don't take turns running for president. Frankly, she's past her time and getting less and less relevant every day.

B I   February 14th, 2008 9:46 pm ET

Noemi, this election is the past versus the future

Randy W. Ill.   February 14th, 2008 9:47 pm ET

KEEP THE ENDORSEMENTS COMING!!!!!!!!!

OBAMA 08!!!!!!

Betsy   February 14th, 2008 9:48 pm ET

I agree with Noemi.. It seems like is all about race vs qualifications.

Stephen   February 14th, 2008 9:49 pm ET

Noemi… it seems that the only qualification you bothered mentioning for hillary was "it would be a very long time before another woman like Hillary could have a chance to be President."… interesting that it was after you accused others of making it about "about race vs gender".

Obama is the most qualified to bring change and not play politics and sell out to money (as Hillaries record shows she has done… she used to be good)

Hillary will be hated by at least 45% of this country according to polls… we do not need to replace one hated president wih another.

OBAMA 08

Nathan   February 14th, 2008 9:49 pm ET

nice
obama 08

Mark   February 14th, 2008 9:50 pm ET

I pray we never get another woman like Hillary running for any office. If she does get into the White house, you will get the government you deserve. The Clintons will rape and pillage the United States and divide the spoils between Asia, Mexico, and the Middle East.
No, I'm not a Bush supporter, he did much the same but it will be many times worse with the Clintons. Go McCain!!!

Over the Meadow   February 14th, 2008 9:50 pm ET

This is WONDERFUL!

SEIU — You are the BEST union of all. You have only endorsed two candidates (Mayor and President, City Council, of Baltimore city) I have dis-agreed with you.

SEIU ROCKS!!!!!

joe   February 14th, 2008 9:50 pm ET

JOHN

MANY OF US THINK YOU HAVE DONE A GREAT

JOB AS OBAMA TV CAMPAIGN MANAGER

AFTER THIS, YOU SHOULD GO TO ACCESS HOLLYWOOD

Mr. T   February 14th, 2008 9:52 pm ET

This is a great news for Obama. It will help him a lot in Ohio and Pennsylvania. For those of you who say this is not Obama's time, I just want to say that this is not a royal system. Everyone has the right to be a president at anytime.

Nancy Levin   February 14th, 2008 9:52 pm ET

Perhaps Michelle could be the next Hillary!!! Go Obamacrats!

White, female boomer for Obama   February 14th, 2008 9:52 pm ET

Oh Noemi…it's not about whose turn it is…it's about who is best for the country at this time…and the voters decide…not someone who says it is her turn..

Poppa   February 14th, 2008 9:52 pm ET

Former Ohio Senator and astronaut John Glenn endorses Hillary Clinton.

Post that on the Ticker.

Rohn J   February 14th, 2008 9:53 pm ET

I just find the comment from noemi so ironic. There's not a single supporter of Hillary's I've spoken to who doesn't say "it's time to elect a woman."

In contrast, Obama has *never* said, "elect me because I'm black." He's about moving this country to a truly post-gender, post-racial, post-polarized society.

It was never Hillary's time. But this is Obama's time, and he's earned it by mobilizing the majority of Democrats and Independents behind him.

Clarence LeBreton   February 14th, 2008 9:53 pm ET

While so many countries around the world are in a leadership vacuum,our americans neighbors are blessed to have such an inspiring candidate for president as Barack Obama.Yes you can! ! ! Clarence LeBreton New Brunswick Canada

Marc, WSU   February 14th, 2008 9:53 pm ET

It's a major MEDIA TALKING POINT.

The same Unions are downsizing and not protecting their members.

Bebble   February 14th, 2008 9:53 pm ET

This is not a race of who's better. It's a race war and the repercussions of this will last long after the election.

Yes, there will be change as all you Obama followers want; but remember be careful what you wish for as you just might get it.

I want to hear Obama answer questions about the issues and how he plans to implement them. He refuses to debate as he will not be able to paraphrase ML King and JF Kennedy as he does in his speeches.

The newscasters need to stop fueling this dangerous fire!

Clint   February 14th, 2008 9:53 pm ET

Kathleen Sebelius would make an excellent President. Hillary is too polarizing a figure (not her fault).

zambulal   February 14th, 2008 9:54 pm ET

So this is how democracy works:

Marc, WSU   February 14th, 2008 9:54 pm ET

It's been nothing but RACE vs. GENDER since John Edwards stepped out.

Kyle   February 14th, 2008 9:55 pm ET

BOY, HOW HAS LABOR HELPED HIM SO FAR?

DIDN'T HELP IN CA

DIDN'T HELP IN NV

WON'T HELP ANYWHERE.

IT'S HILLARY

J in AZ   February 14th, 2008 9:55 pm ET

How much did BHO have to pay for this? The same price he's paying to buy Super Delegates?

Kyle   February 14th, 2008 9:55 pm ET

Do you see how you Obama people talk?

Bunch of wactivists. You sound so deluded.

Doc Jerome   February 14th, 2008 9:57 pm ET

It appears, that all is going the good Senator's way. This is the time to be very careful.

Mr. C   February 14th, 2008 9:57 pm ET

LOL @ Noemi. So how about this. If Barack Obama is not nominated, it would be a very long time before another black man like Obama could have a chance to be President. How about that.

Hillary's time was 16yrs ago with her husband.

dave   February 14th, 2008 10:00 pm ET

Did the big union endorsement in Nevada produce a win for Barack(Barry) Obama, NO. Hillary Clinton won . To all you Barack(Barry) Obama supporters he lost New Mexico.

Sparkle, MO   February 14th, 2008 10:02 pm ET

This is major. Unions represent blue collar America, the forgotten citizens in the past 2 Presidencies. I hope that the members of each of the 2 unions supporting Obama will take a good look at the differences between the two candidates and make an informed decision to vote for BARACK OBAMA for President!!

Tony   February 14th, 2008 10:02 pm ET

Noemi that is truly silly if its her time she would win for real its Obama 08 ;-) cause hes right-n-ready day one how lets go on and beat mccain ok

Julian   February 14th, 2008 10:02 pm ET

Looks like Hillary has hit the iceberg and there's not enough boats. Just 6 weeks ago I would have voted for her and written Obama off as someone to take seriously only after he acquired some more experience. Only after seeing what a petty, shrill campaign H has conducted and reading both of B's books, do I feel this man deserves my support. He got my vote on Super Tuesday and he's getting a check if he goes the distance and get the nomination.

O8   February 14th, 2008 10:05 pm ET

Yes we Can…………..Obama 08

Deann   February 14th, 2008 10:07 pm ET

I would project that, if democratic has paying the race vs. gender, the next president should belong to republican; the history has told us the fact…

democratic party should stop this, to look at a candidate qualification, should review that person's history, background, the experience, as a human, they need nine months to proceed then to grow up, nothing can jump up without taken this step, if not, it must fail, it is fairy tale.

rm   February 14th, 2008 10:07 pm ET

actually, Elizabeth Dole would have made a great president if we had wanted a woman so badly in the Oval Office…

Obamacan   February 14th, 2008 10:07 pm ET

Former Ohio Senator and astronaut John Glenn has not formally endorsed Hillary Clinton. Why not? Could it be the Keating Five scandal, which he was investigated with McCain?

Hillary disclose your tax returns. How can you say you're fully vetted if you want participate with full diclosure?

Karen   February 14th, 2008 10:09 pm ET

To Rohn J who said Obama has never said elect me because I am black–
Then why does he begin every speech with this, "T-h-e-y said this day would never come. T-h-e-y said this could not happen," and then ends each speech with this, "Our time has come." And the slogan, "Yes we can." Of course he intends to draw attention to his race. I am not saying anything is wrong with that–I am just saying…

charlie   February 14th, 2008 10:10 pm ET

This is truly the best form of dirty politics. Whoever becomes president, it is just a different face of the special interest.

rodrigo   February 14th, 2008 10:10 pm ET

GO OBAMA

Kathleen Sebelius for VP and It's a done deal. World America is back!!!!!!!!!!

martin   February 14th, 2008 10:10 pm ET

There are 3 strong female Democratic governors. Any of which would make a better president than Hillary. I wouldn't be surprised if one of them are Obama's running mate.

June (California Voter)   February 14th, 2008 10:10 pm ET

Things don't look good for Hillary Clinton.

Darren   February 14th, 2008 10:11 pm ET

I am getting very sick of those who just think Obama is just a speechgiver. Yes, he is phenomonal at speaking and inspiring but people are forgetting that there is substance behind his message. He has debated many times and talked about issues and his positions very clearly. Look up and read his website as well. Stop the jeaolusy because your candidate sounds like a old hag or great grandpa. GO OBAMA!

Steve   February 14th, 2008 10:11 pm ET

Kyle,

Barack did not have time to campaign in CA, NV, NY, etc. There is plenty of time before OH and TX. It has been demonstrated that when he has time he does very well. Of course the Clinton name is better known, so if there is little time to campaign Hillary will do better. With all of the time to campaign before March 4th these giant union endorsements do make a big difference. The NV union endorsement came right before the votes, and at the last minute the Clinton people tried to block the effect of the endorsement.

will   February 14th, 2008 10:13 pm ET

yes we can. OBAMA!

Stephan TX.   February 14th, 2008 10:16 pm ET

Yes sir, another KEY endorsment. Obama 08!

Texas for obama   February 14th, 2008 10:21 pm ET

I HAVE A QUESTION FOR ALL THE TEXANS? WHAT DO YOU THINK ABOUT THE HILLERASER THINKING THAT TEXAS IS HERS?

DEAD WRONG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

VOTE OBAMA FOR TEXAS

Ro   February 14th, 2008 10:23 pm ET

Refuses to debate? Try and pay attention instead of parroting HRC's talking points. There have been EIGHTEEN debates with two more already scheduled for a total of TWENTY. There are other things to be done then debate every day.

Texas   February 14th, 2008 10:48 pm ET

SO!!!

ronin198   February 14th, 2008 11:05 pm ET

I cant belive how many organizations are backing him… is it good or bad… we will see in time…. it allmost seems to me that organizations, and interest groups are choosing instead we the people….

Tim   February 14th, 2008 11:06 pm ET

Hmm I wonder who Edwards will endorse…?

To J in AZ: $0

To Kyle: I'm sorry, but we are not "wactivists…" Whatever that is. So what exactly is wrong with strongly supporting someone? Since when is that unacceptable in America? You don't like how strongly we support Barack Obama, get out. We can be excited about someone just as much as you can. Get over it. Personally, I think that you're scared that your candidate won't get the nomination.

Susan   February 14th, 2008 11:06 pm ET

To Darren:

I'll take an old hag or great grandpa anyday. I can tell you were raised to not have respect for your elders. What a pity because they are the ones who have helped make this country so great. Hate to say this but they have lived life with ups and downs whereas Obama has done nothing. He talks about issues but has no idea how to fix them. All he does is sprout BS and if he gets the Democratic nomination then John McCain will be the next president because you are going to see a lot of Democrats voting for him.

Mike   February 14th, 2008 11:10 pm ET

Im Canadian but have been swept away by the Dem. election …. We work so close to the US and I believe a vote for Obama is the Smart Choice! I dont trust Hillary … backed down when fighting for healthcare in the 90's after receiving money from the drug companies and NAFTA… the trade agreement HER Husband signed… she wont keep US jobs in the states.

GO Obama!

John   February 14th, 2008 11:10 pm ET

Barack is not a muslim and never has been. If you think he is research before you make un intelligent comments.

Jeff   February 14th, 2008 11:11 pm ET

Betsy, why is it that there are ignorant people in our country that believe Obama is a muslim? He and many others have made it quite clear that he isn't. Shame on all who don't check their facts.

GO OBAMA!

MNDem   February 14th, 2008 11:13 pm ET

I haven't heard too much from Emily's List lately. As a male, I respected them when they supported one of our current Senators here in MN, Amy Klobuchar, because she has principle. Hillary, not so much.

Barbara   February 14th, 2008 11:13 pm ET

Obamacan- You have to fix the carb BEFORE you can drive the car and if that is what he said then he has never had grease under his nails . It makes me wonder how he is going to "drive" this country if doesn't know you have to fix it first.

Andy   February 14th, 2008 11:13 pm ET

Just wanted to point out that there is only one human race. So everyone that keeps saying this is a race v.s. gender is incorrect, and if you truly think that black is a different race you need to probably spend a little time researching the difference between a race and skin pigment.
Obama 08 ^.^

Bettye -Atlanta   February 14th, 2008 11:14 pm ET

It is quite interesting that Hillary took NM after her "slick" husband (my opinion) visited Bill Richardson to watch the Super Bowl. (as if that was his purpose- probably un-invited) We are, in my opinion, about to witness the master politician go on the "dirty politics" drive. Barack, get ready!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! In my opinion, these people will DO WHATEVER IT TAKES TO WIN!

Hillary is the Status Quo   February 14th, 2008 11:14 pm ET

These 2 unions are big news. And even though he lost Nevada, it was only by 4%. If he loses OH & TX by 4% he still wins the nomination. Hillary will need 55-60% in both states to win.

I think Bill & Solis Doyle screwed this up for Hillary.

I still want to know where the $140 Million went?

Becky Backstrom   February 14th, 2008 11:16 pm ET

Can any one out there tell me his plans on any of the "everyone's issues…nothing new issues" that he has mentioned in all of his speeches, debates and his entire campaigne.

I have not heard him mention how he is going do any of the "all the things he say's he is going to do"! Rhetoric…just more rhectoric! Do any of you out there have a brain enough to see this? "or even stop and wonder this yourself.? You people scare me…including Obama!

Even his wife admitts to his over-sized ego! And i noticed a change in how he precents his speech toward his on-lookers now that he won a few more delgates…he projects himself like our great MLK and JFK and so on… He cant even project himself now…who really is he?

I hope we find these things oput before it's too late…America's voters do not need another slap in the face from the elected official!

illinoisindie   February 14th, 2008 11:17 pm ET

To ALL you Hillbillys that are under the spell of HRC and continue to ignorantly say that Barack has no substance hopefully this educates you… we highly educated over 250K people would not be voting for him if he didnt. Forget all the inspiration for one moment and get the facts. Mr. Obama gives great speeches. And guess what — he's proposed some concrete policies too

(1) Eliminating the tax subsidies for oil drilling (a completely outdated subsidy that hampers the development of alternative fuel sources). (2) 1% of oil companies' profits will placed into a "green" fund that will subsidize development of alternative fuel sources and green energy. (3) Creation of "green jobs" through small business and research and development subsidies. (4) Raise the payroll tax ceiling from its current level of $97,500 to ensure that Social Security stays solvent. (5) Open up Congress's health care plan to everybody and give subsidies and tax credits for citizens to buy into that plan. NOTE: The *only* difference between Obama's plan and Clinton's plan is that Clinton mandates that every American purchase health insurance. In theory Clinton's plan would create a risk pool free of adverse selection and thereby slightly lower health care premiums for all. But in practice the amount of tax dollars spent on the enforcement mechanism would dwarf any premiums savings created by the mandate. Moreover, I have not seen any evidence to support the idea that, on average, Americans currently without health insurance are healthier than Americans with insurance. Thus, the whole theoretical basis behind the health insurance mandate — eliminating adverse selection — is not backed up by empirics. (6) Get out of Iraq within first 16 months of office. (7) End the Bush tax cuts for those making over $250,000. NOTE: That would include me, and I'm fine with that. (8) Create an Infrastructure Bank Fund that would create millions of new construction jobs for rebuidling our bridges and interstate highway system. (9) End tax breaks for American companies that ship jobs overseas. NOTE: A version of this plan is already in existence. It is called The Patriot Company Act, I believe. I'm pretty sure Obama is a co-sponsor. (10) Diplomacy before war with our so-called "enemies." (11) Ban torture. (12) Focus any anti-terror military effort in Afghanistan's hills where Al Qaeda is hiding. NOTE: This is far, far, far different than Bush's idiotic nation-building foreign policy. (13) Raising the maximum Pell Grant to over $5000 so that more students can afford public university tuition. (14) Create a $4000 per year college tuition credit for students that engage in public service. NOTE: This is an absolutely fantastic idea that will shift young peoples' resources to areas that need it, such as communities hard hit by a poor economy, etc. (15) A federal education policy that doesn't place schools under the tyranny of an unfunded federal mandate that requires teachers to "teach to a test." (16) Reforming our draconian crack laws that have ruined inner city communities. (17) A general change in the tenor of American politics. Is this enough "substance" for you?

Kim   February 14th, 2008 11:17 pm ET

Since Senator Obama has not taken any special interest PAC or registered lobby bundling money, Senator Obama clearly will not be beholden to these special interests. Senator Obama will be beholden to the interests of the American People– yes, that is right, we funded his campaign, we organized his campaign. Remember folks Senator Obama asked us to do this. It is a new day and Senator Obama is not only the best candidate, he is the only candidate who can bring America solutions to the multitude of problems our She faces.

As for it being Senator Clinton's "turn," this isn't a hereditary monarchy; this is the United States of America where government is for the people, by the people and of the people. As such, it is NEVER anyone's turn.

I might add that I am a white woman over 40 who would very much like to vote for a woman like Senator Clinton, but I will not do this when the other candidate running, Senator Obama is so obviously superior. America cannot afford to elect another candidate on a "one issue platform" — in this case, the "one issue" being feminism. We are in too much trouble to attempt that one. We need the right candidate, at this time who has the right message to lead America into a much better future — and that candidate is Senator Barack Obama.

Yes we can, Obama '08.

sam   February 14th, 2008 11:18 pm ET

Seth in Minneapolis   February 14th, 2008 11:55 pm ET

I can't believe people are still calling Obama a muslim. People like Hannity, Limbaugh, Coulter, Pat Robertson, Bush, and yes even the Clintons use fear and mis-information to get the ignorant behind them.

Here is a quote by Hitler:
"By the skillful and sustained use of propaganda, one can make a people see even heaven as hell or an extremely wretched life as paradise. How fortunate for governments that the people they administer don't think. "

Read a book!

ees   February 15th, 2008 2:19 am ET

It is pretty obvious that the Obama supporters are now becoming anxious because Hillary is doing very well and leading Obama according to the recent polling. It appears that they are consoling themselves with the forthcoming endorsement of Obama by the SIEU. SIEU and the culinary union endorsements did not work in Nevada or CA because voters will decide and cast their vote for the candidate they deem is their leader and champion. Leaders are doers not just talkers. They plan agendas and set specific goals for change and Hillary is this kind of a leader. Leaders do not follow and steal ideas of others. Leaders must be authentic and must always remain steadfast. These are some of Hillary's distinct leadership abilities that separates her from the rest of the candidates. Hillary all the way for '08.

rasil   February 15th, 2008 2:26 am ET

Dave, she lost New Mexico because her corrupt supporters etc.,took several ballot boxes home, tampered with them, and just finished the count. Get your facts straight. She is corrupt and will do anything to win. Lie, steal, and even cry. Corrupt, corrupt, corrupt. Sorry to disappoint you. S and will do anything including breaking your kneecap to get into the White House. She is still the loser because Barack is a man of integrity, a galvanizer, and a force to be reckoned.
Yes we can!!!!!!!!!!!!! Yes we can!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Yes we can!!!!!!!!!

Esther   February 15th, 2008 2:31 am ET

Hillary is leading by double digits in Ohio and she already has Texas.

WIll   February 15th, 2008 2:53 am ET

I do understanding that everyone has the right to go for who that would like to see as the next president; however most people in the united states is going for the reason. If the americans would do research on the person that they are endorsing as well voting for they will then realize why they are going for the wrong person. Hillary Clinton is the person that I will be voting for in the November 2008 election. I have done the research, its now your turn to do the same!!!!! Remember we need change, Hillary is ready is Obama?

Hillary Clinton '08!!! FOR PRESIDENT!!!!

For Authenticity & Real Ability   February 15th, 2008 2:58 am ET

sam, barack's money comes from average americans, whereas the clintons money comes from special interests, lobbyists, and PACS, not to mention their personal fortunes in the 50 million or so range. they are the ones who have been calling on superdelegates to back them b/c of past favors. they think they can buy this win and twist people's arms to endorse them. i encourage you to spend some time actually researching the facts!

Robert   February 15th, 2008 3:11 am ET

I think I was wrong about Obama. I switched to the Dem party to vote for him in my state's primary but then I read the CNN article that stated he had the most liberal voting record on the senate floor. So, I decided to check to see if he supported an important issue to me, partial birth abortion ban. Although he wasn't a senator when this bill went through, he stated that he was against the Supreme Court's upholding the bill. Obama looks and sounds great but have some of us forgotten the issues. I made a big mistake. I only wish the republican party had a better candidate to vote for.
Robert from CT

daryn   February 15th, 2008 3:55 am ET

Hi !
I'm not american but I'm just wondering how Mrs Clinton can claim to have solutions (about health care, and so on…) whereas she didn't apply her plan anywhere in the United State of America. Because for me, to have a solution means you have tried or applied your ideas somewhere and worked, well as far as I know she didn't do it yet. But how can she claim to have a solution of all the issues ? It's strange for me!
Neither Obama nor Clinton can claim to have a solution. The only thing they have is a suggestion but nobody knows if both plans will work. On the other we all know that Bush's plan does not work because he applied it and we have the results.
