I don't typically care what any celebrity has to say about politics but they are expressing my dream:

Clinton/Obama '08 and '12

This gives Obama 8 years to learn the ins and outs of the political system so he can better effect the sweeping change he talks about. He isn't ready yet and it would be a disservice to our country to have him serve before he could be effective.

I would very much like to agree with Mr Barkely, but my conscience will not allow it. It appeared he was supporting Mr Obama strictly with the race and gender strategy, but attempting to be politically correct. This is very disappointing, as it demonstrates we are continuing to support these candidates for the wrong reasons.

Do these folks not have a clue as to how Serious this is? Folks that have money do not really care, since nothing affects them.

This Obama stuff is getting very annoying, frustrating and rides the border of discriminating against the candidates, as CNN continues to promote him and show his face constantly. Senator Clinton continues to be downplayed at Everything.

You know what? Folks are finding out Senator Clinton can roll with the punches. I am curious if Mr Obama could take it.

CNN - this is so unfair of your reporting. You have always done an excellent job.

My compliments to Mr. Lou Dobbs, as he is a vital member of your team, and an Excellent Reporter.

Senator Clinton has my support.

I will jump on the Barak bandwagon when Tom Brady comes out for him. Go Pats

Barkley for Obama-Clinton…that puts me for McCain!!! Sorry Chuck!!

I think what Charles B. said was awesome. HE spoke the truth and everyone knows it, he was brave enough to say these things and stand by them!

I'm a Barack Obama supporter, but I have to admit I'm perplexed by this matter. Because Obama purports to be running on a platform that cannot supposedly compete with Clinton's and Edwards, he has staked the claim of having good judgment (esp. in relations to Clinton voting for the Iraq war). Now Obama claims he made "a bone-headed mistake" when asked about his dealings with Rezko. How can he make both the claim of having good judgment, which separates him from Clinton, and at the same time admit to having bad judgment in buying his home? Politics as usual?

HILLARY gets my vote hand-down.

You self-righteous Obama-bots, chill ! Your candidate needs schooling!

HILLARY '08, YEAH!

This is truly garbage. I thought it more interesting that Sen. John Glenn supported Hillary and not one word has been said about that, but here we are talking about 2 ex-basketball players and one of them is admitingly an addicted gambler. i bet he has 20 grand on Obama! LOL!

I thought our current president had very limited national/international experience as a "sort-of" two term governor (not two full terms, more like 4+1 years when you take the 2000 presidential campaign into account). And my hesitancy then *in my opinion* proved in retrospect to be well founded. So how could I support either Democratic candidate? Obama, with three years as a US Senator (barely over a half term!) who was helped into office by the shennigans of Jeri Ryan's ex-husband, and Hillary Clinton, a 7 year US Senator (1 term + 1 year). Sorry being married to an ex-president / ex-governor doesn't count as actual leadership experience.

Funny how Obama people don't like a supporter of Clinton. Its ok for Kennedy, Kerry, Sharpton, Jackson, and Oprah to "endorse" him. Two to show him how to run a presidency,(if he's the winner), two to tell him what to do for the black community, and one to Have Michelle on her show at least twice a week. CNN…the official Obama News Network has already crowned him and Cafferty and Blitzer are running behind hold his robes.

I care about as much for NBA basketball (or ex-NBA basketball) stars' ideas of who should be president as I care about any other celebrity/icon's –which is to say, I care nothing.

CNN, shame on you for trotting out all this garbage. It's time you actually gave the American public real reasons to look at candidates, like showing their proposed solutions to issues that are important to us, in detail, and explaining them in an unbiased manner. Stop the dog-and-pony show, and treat us like we're smart enough to make real information –we, the people, just might surprise you.

That's my team-"Obama-Hillary". New history of America.

That Charles Barkley interview was one of the worst I have ever seen. This guy doesnt know a thing about politics and he wants to run as governor of Alabama??? Give me a break…

I am so SICK of celebrity endorsements and the media giving these silly endorsements any attention.

Sorry, but Johnson and Barkley are not pundits and I really don't see what makes them more credible or worth reporting then the average American voter. Before we know it, CNN will be reporting on who Paris Hilton endorses, because really all we need is another wealthy celebrity shooting their mouth off.

Clinton-Obama

The Clinton years were one of the best. Think about it, why not put a person in charge who has experience. After 4 years, she could step aside and let Obama run when he gets more experience.

I still can't believe America voted Bush in for 8 years. Think rationally first. Obama has vague, feel-good speeches. Speeches are no substitute for practical, common-sense, straight-talk solutions.

Clinton would definitely get my vote.

I think these guys are onto something; the dems have awesome candidates this year and i think either one we get will be better than the selfish hogs on the other side. Party unity is something we need and a Hillary Obama ticket would be an amazing thing for America.

hey CNN–please–u need to stop highlighting all these negatives about hillary–PLEASE STOP–why is it that Barack is not being scrutinized–it as if CNN is an oOBAMA surrogate–it really look s bad– i had really liked ur station but i am so disappointed now–im a m seriously hurt-

Charles and Magic should stick to what they do best, the dream team that they speak of will not happen, I am sure both of them are aware that in order for a team to play well together not only must the chemistry be right, they also must have a common goal. Sen. Clinton and Bill goal is to accumulate more power and occupy the white house eight more years. Sen. Obama has a different objective in seeking the presidency, his mission is to raise the quality of life for all citizens of this country and improve American's standing around the world.

Yes…I think most of America would go for a Clinton-Obama ticket…not Obama-Clinton because she has the seniority and most experience. That would give him eight years to get ready to be President when her two terms are over. GO CLINTON-OBAMA!!

i agree with charles……

Who the hell cares what over bloated, over paid has-been professional players have to say - especially Charles Barkley - ugh! At least Magic Johnson has a social conscious. He puts his money where his mouth is, unlike Obama who puts his mouth where the money is

**The views of professional athletes do not represent the views of the average BARACK OBAMA supporter**

There is no way Hillary Clinton could be on the same ticket as Barack Obama. She has no morals, is a liar and has defrauded the American people in the past so that she can live a plush lifestyle. She would be lucky if he even uses her as an advisor. We don't need her type of "experience" any more

Where is the part Barkley said all Republicans are hippocrates?

PLEASE CNN - dont feed us garbage on celebrity endorsements. I am sick to my tummy with OPRAH, WILL.I.AM music people, AND NOW BARKLEY- CANT Obama start a different campaign - he is feeding us the same things over and over.

I'm with Charles… Obama/Clinton.

He's the leader, she's the OUTSTANDING manager.

I'm glad Charles listened to my endorsement.

I am with Barkley Obama is the Tao of Now.

Obama should have Richardson as VP. Clinton can be Secretary of State if she wants.

That seems to be the sentiment in my neck of the woods, if not BARAC KO then Hillary, if not Hillary then BARACKO. But there will be no dream ticket with both of them. That would be nice but it ain't gonna happen.

These jocks attitude only goes to show that jocks should seek to round out their life experience with some mental exercises other than merely playing ball.

Obama-Clinton ticket would be a nightmare, not the American dream.

Obama needs to select as his Vice one of his females governor supporters who have real administrative experience.

ABC, Anyone But Clinton!

CLINTON HAS ZERO LEADERSHIP EXPERIENCE!
Moreover, she and her husband would be a drag.

The Clintons should just surrender and retire.

Why is this news?

Disappear, . . . Magic.

Since he is black, Barkley is racist because he supports Obama huh folks? BUT
Magic is okay because he supports Clinton right?

Stop the racial nonsense.
Obama is appealing to ALL people in a myriad of different racial and socio-economic categories.

Obama 08!
