This talk about Clinton and McCain "copying" slogans from Obama is a bit specious especially since the Obama campaign appropriated the "yes, we can" from Cesar Chavez and his labor movement of the 1970s.

The more I research the candidates plans for our future the more sure i become that HILLARY must be our candidate of choice. Her willingness to continue the battle no matter how hard the struggle indicates to me her sincere dedication and desire to improve the lives of the people of this country. In regard to earlier debates where so many were involved it was difficult to sift out the fluff from the real issues. We could see that some could speak with more clarity than others but the issues couldn't really be analyzed in depth. One on one is another matter and HILLARY has shown me she has experience and knowledge that provides her with the information and direction for getting started as she says, "On day one !" Maybe Obama can do better on the next debate but I think his lack of experience will show through again. HILLARY '08

Regardless of how this nomination process comes out, the Democratic Party is going to have to pull together to win against a very impressive Republican candidate in November. Senator McCain is a true American hero and will be difficult to beat. We need to remember the common values that unite Democrats and treat each other with more respect than I've seen above. Obama is right that words matter – it is impossible to read the Declaration of Independence, Gettysburg Address, FDR's first Inaugural, or the "I Have a Dream" speech without feeling that we have inherited a great opportunity accompanied with great responsibility. Yes, we can.

i guess MR OBAMA DIDNT SPEND THE MONEY WISELY AS MRS CLINTON DID IT >>>>I GUESS ITS A TAXPAYER MONEY

Hillary or McCain ? Ok, the blue and the red losers. Right ?

Obama will be seen for what is he a nut !!!!good speeches do not put food on the table or gas in your car. he keeps talking about bringing people together. wait until the republicans swift boat him he will be like john kerry Ka bosh !!!!!! go republicans !!!!

Hillary is burnt toast. Get out the forks. Start sticking.

Great way to show the Clintons for what they are! Obama's hope is for America not his opponents. Obama has run the best campaign; won the most votes, states and delegates. Now Obama has the most momentum, money and support. It shows who the best executive would be.

I look at it this way……..they are either both attacking one another or they are both jabbing one another. Neither of the two candidates are above reproach!

MJ – that is a true example of not being above reproach……..all candidates will do or say what will get them elected. I do think that we need a person who knows how to work for change and can accomplish it. I think Clinton has proved her abilities. Unfortunately, I think Obama has not proven his. Good speeches though.

Hillary brought out the boxing gloves, so left and right jabs are entirely appropriate. I'm looking forward to the knock-out by Obama…my champ all the way!

Hillary Clinton cannot control her husband, cannot run her own campaign, and she cries in public. How is she going to run the country?
Barack Obama is the ONLY choice for President!

Obama is a loudmouthed jerk. racism and division are what he is preaching. Check his Senate voting record. He obviously spent little time there. no vote BO shoud be his campaign slogan!! Or present if in Illinois
Senate.gov will get you there

Well he is battling, not only Hillary, but Bill too. I think it's well deserved and am glad he's putting up a fight. The Clintons started it, so he has a right to defend and fight back. At least Obama's campaign is still the same now as when he started. Clinton keeps changing something everytime she loses a primary or caucus.

Lets not split hairs people, Both Obama and Clinton are poiticians and they will both attack fairly and unfairly. The difference that Obama pretends to be above it all – what's that called?

Thanks Pat USAF for stating the facts. Obama is all hype and that doesn't solve our country's problems.

He also said he doesn't want the "old politics" If he gets elected I wonder if he will pick " old politics" experienced advisors. Manureing is right and people are stepping into it big time supporting this guy.

Keep the attacks up. Give her a dose of her own medicine.

If Obama doesn't take a stand for himself he'll be perceived as weak or having no backbone. Hillary's campaign has been stating a lot of inaccuracies (a nice way of saying lies) about Obama's policy and experience. He had no choice but to challenge her.

Either way Hillary needs a new strategy. I doubt crying will work for her anymore.

Do you Clinton supporters expect Barack to sit back and just take the attacks from Hillary? She attacks him for having hope, making promises, and setting vision… He focuses on her with real policy issues. REAL POLICY ISSUES! That's why hers are attacks, and his points are legitimate.

Once again we are facing politics and politicians of the past (Clinton) and statesmen of the future (Obama). Ms Clinton is in a world that she created…a world of stagnation and desperation. I agree that "talk is cheap" but Hope is priceless!
YES WE CAN!

Words are cheap unless backed by actions. Dr. King did more than talking. Obama is not Dr. King and should be pretending to be one. It may take words to woo a lady into a date, but it takes more than words to woo her into a marriage! Be a man, Obama.

…and BTW…

OBAMA IN '08!!!
OBAMA IN '08!!!

Hillary Has NO EXPERIENCE Obama is the best person for President

We love you barack!!!!!

The world is changing in the fast pace, If America ought to stay as super power and respected by the world as it did for the last half centure,then america need no more guns and war, but work on its domestic economic condition by selecting the right president. Senator H. Clinton had her chance in the White House for eight years, and the promise (Universal health care) she made then did not materialize it was another hollow rhetoric, rather her and her husband kept sending jobs to oversea while American workers lossing their job and livelyhood.

The more Obama talks, the more his true colors show, so I say, let him keep talking himself right into the ground.

When Obama attacks Hillary he shows how he really is. I thought he was the change canidate HA HA I guess not. Obama makes me sick!!!!!

Hillary 08

We don't need another learn on the job, Senator "Hope"

Stating facts is not jabbing nor attacking. The latest Hillary commercials, now thats attacking.

Clinton can,t even keep her compaining team in place and claims she is ready to lead day one hello !!!!!!!!!!!!!! GO OBAMA I PRAY FOR YOU EVERYDAY

Blessed are Hillary supporters, the thinking people!!!!!

i Watched the speeches last night… what a lot of hot air from Obama….
he is such a angry man…i couldnt vote for him… i'd go to Mc caine before him… i cant believe i said that…..

Come on guys, he has to defend himself. I'm not a supporter, but he has no choice. He can't just sit down and take the jabs Clinton makes. If you pay attention to his arguments, they're usually counter attacks, attacks defending himself against her previous ones. Even I see that.

The last thing I want is Obama to be our next president of the USA. The difference between Clinton and Obama is……. Clinton WILL make the change and Obama will only talk about making the change.

Vote Hillary!

Ohio voter.

These are substantiated points. If Hillary supporters don't like it they should concentrate on her attacks that distort the truth. It's fine to point out differences, it's not to try to distort the truth and devide the party. The "superdelegates" should note that and align with the voters. Right now they are sending the wrong message.

Dear Clintons,

please bow out gracefully.

Sincerely,

America

I am so sick of this guy. He does not have the credentials to be President. His whole platform is based on the words "Hope" and Change". Come on people – wake up before he is the Democratic nominee. We can't afford to jeopardize our future with an excellent speech giver with no substance or proven track record.

Obama is like an egomaniacal rock star and his speeches are nothing more than carefully crafted, uplifting pop songs. Obama has created a phenomenon, but nothing truly substantive. This is a "POP CULTURE" vote. Just like girls screaming over the Beatles… they are screaming over Obama at college rallies. I watch all of this unfold with more and more doubt at the high percentage of Americans that are apparently just total sheep, looking for a homogenized message of hope, that sounds "nice"… given by a dashing man with a nice butt in a great suit. Pathetic. Put down the purple kool-aid, people!!!

TIme to deliver the knock out blow Obama, she's on the ropes… keep it up Obama!

I support Obama regardless. Hillary is a shrew, who has launched into this kind of speech for months. Obama has been very noble and held back. But after so long, and after so many lies, distortions, attacks, innuendos, smear tactics, misrepresentations of his policies and stands on issues by Hillary and Bill….there's only so much you can take before you push back.

Good for you Barack. I hope you are our Democratic nominee.

Barak H. Obama is the democratic version of George W. Bush. He
is telling us the same things George Bush told us when he ran for president the first time.
HE WOULD CHANGE WASHINGTON
HE WOULD BRING THE COUNTRY TOGETHER
HE IS AN OUTSIDER
HE IS A FRESH FACE
Candidates who rais those banners try to hide their inexperience, naivity and lack of judgement.

Again Obama is trying the play the race card without using the word race by quoting the MLK's famous speech. If you don't agree with him means that you don't agree with MLK…. what a clever move by this so call new/fresh candidate.

Obama has every right to defend himself against the attacks Camp Hillary has waged. Obama only cites inconsistencies in Hillary's positions on the issues. She construes Obama's positions to the American people; Obama has every right to call her on it. I was a Bill Clinton supporter in the past but I have never really been too impressed with Hillary, but I was willing to give her a chance. Throughout this campaign the Clinton's have shown their true colors to me and Hillary will stop at nothing to be the President. I am losing respect for her.

WHAT WE NEED IS "PREVENTATIVE CARE!!" SO THAT WE DONT SPEND SO MUCH STINKIN CASH ON OUR HEALTH INDUSTRY!

wake up all you people and work to nominate clinton if you really want to win in november 08. the republican machine will destroy obama . we cannot afford to take a chance on electing another BUSH-MCAIN. NOMINATE HILLARY AN LETS WIN THE GENERAL ELECTION.

go obama, u ROCK

Go Obama! All fired up.

I have been waiting for this moment. it's time for him to prove he is the man. I'm so proud, BARAK!!!

After reading a bunch of the comments, one has to ask why would anyone vote Democrat when they hate each others guts.

Obama is just another pie-in-the-sky would be poet.
Now his arrogance is starting to show.
I do not appreciate the gender slamming he has started recently,
the crack in the armor is starting to show.
Hillary is the woman for the job!

We're (in Ohio) ready for the general election between Senator Obama and Senator McCain.

Has Senator Clinton announced her backing/support for Senator Obama yet?

Once again Barack keeps his attack tied to the decisions and voting record of his opponents. He has stayed above the mud and negative politics that Rove and Bush made famous and Clinton and McCain have adopted. It is not only policy but politics that he is trying to change. I hope that his decision is rewarded. America deserves nothing less.

Clinton supporters are retarded, if this lady becomes the nominee she will be a rally cry for the Republicans. Mccain is not going to have to unify his party Hillary will do that for him….think about it!

Inspiring speeches have changed the course of history: Jefferson, Lincoln, Hitler, Churchill, FDR, IKE, JFK, MLK, Reagan and others. Hillary's speeches are about as inspiring as a fire plug.

Who would Abe Lincoln support? O8BAMA

I am personally for Obama, but can't we all agree that whomever gets the nomination will be a welcome relief from what we've had to put up with for the past 8 years??

Obama's unattractive arrogance, together with his lack of substance and "pot-calling-the-kettle-black" tactics will ultimately be his undoing.

Listen, I don't have any real problems with Hillary, but let's face it – she's definitely part of the business-as-usual politics in Washington. Compared to Bush or McCain, I'd take her in a heartbeat. But with Obama, we've got a chance to go above all that, and for the first time he's the front runner in this race. He's taking shots from everyone, and yes, he needs to distinguish himself by pointing out faults of his opponents. You have to let the guy defend himself.

Obama in '08 – can't wait!!

Senator Obama is a State Legislator from Illinois with only 3 years in the Senate and who happens to be a very capable and effective speaker. Beware, Democrats, we don't know this guy. He's only been on the national scene for a short time. I hope our springtime love affair doesn't result in broken hearts come November!

Go Barack Obama! Go with the hopes of all of those who had suffered 400 years of slavery and now its time to get paid!!!

We can change all that is wrong now and make it right!!!

Obama 08! YES WE CAN!

His words matter.

OBAMA 2008

Being able to give a good speech is a good thing. It is not a "weakness". It is an advantage.

Oh c'mon people. Obama is finally starting to defend himself after weeks of nonstop attacks from Hillary. I think it is great he showed some backbone. Hillary is far more dirty allof the time. Bill was in my hometown yesterday, and after his speech, I think the whole family is just plain crooked. I hope they don't get Chelsea too involved.
It is time Obama stands up to Hillarys dirty tactics.

There's a difference between attacking and responding to attacks. All that is happening here is Barrack responding to Clinton and McCain, which I'm pretty sure is OK to do without making him 'just another politician.'

Good for Obama!! Give her a fight for her political life. She calls you on everything. That what a fight is, jab to the right, jab to the left. Now for the knock out punch.

If you want the status quo and politics as usual go ahead and vote for Hillary or John McCain. But in 4 years when we still are in Irag and the country is even more divided then it already is don't complain!! I believe John McCain wants to stay in Irag for 100 more years!! Wih Hillary comes Bill i.e. scandals,impeachment, lies,lies and more lies!!!

Las Vegas is taking bets on the date and time Clintoon will start crying again.

Obama is STILL the better candiate regardless of what the pundits on the media says… Read his books and you'll understand him.

Why can't people see that Obama is a fake? He has had the media on his side from day one because they are afraid of being called racist. If you really listen to his speeches you will see that he is trying to imiate Martin Luther King and JFK. And he surely is not!

Hooray for Hillary!

Once again, Obama has shed some light on the weak Clinton campaign. Hillary was weak from day one (she never coulod keep her word). We don't need anymore indecisive people

VOTE BARACK OBAMA!!

Obama is our next President, and CNN should stop with the biased word choices.

The two initiatives that Hillary led on during her '8 years' was NAFTA & Healthcare — big mistakes, as was her mistake to vote to authorize the war when the other democrats who were NOT up for re-election were opposed to the Iraq war. Hillary only votes what is politically advantageous for her. That is not leadership, folks. Wake up!

OBAMA 08

His speech was fantastic. I hope that every citizen in Wisconsin was listening.

Forget the frontrunners. This election will pit Paul against Gravel.

Susan,
What change do you think Obama can really deliver? Can you please answer that before you take up al this space with your repeitive mantra?

Just keep jabbing, Obama. It brings out the "true you". My 12 yr. old grandson asked me if Obama is the anti-Christ. I didn't know how to answer. Never thought about it until now.

"WE WANT CHANGE!", "YES WE CAN!" we the american people want change PERIOD, so don't tell me that having having another CLINTON in the white house is going to bringing change. That will be politics as before the current administration!

I am a republican who is strongly considering crossing party lines to vote for Obama. Should Hillary win the democratic nomination I will be forced to vote for the lesser of two evils and back the republicans. I'm not saying the time isn't right for a woman as president, JUST NOT THAT WOMAN. I would thoroughly enjoy watching the republicans rip her ideas, policies, character, etc. apart. The republicans will tear open her closet and expose her for what she really is, a fraud. I truly don't understand why she appeals to so many, just a bunch of narrow minded people out there I guess. I look forward to becoming an Obamacan …….. Obama 08′.

Hillary's speech last night was much more uniting last night than his, he was on the defensive and came off as angry again….

To all the Barack haters please wake up! Do your research into the voting records between both candidates and you will discover that Barack is the right person to lead this country.

Most of the negative comments written on this blog have no merit and are just plan ignorant.

Barack Obama 08′ and beyond.

the change needed …for peace and prosperities in America and for the country new image in europa ,africa , asia.and in the middle east (in the world)is obama and there is no other ways than to vote Obama.

what do they have to say or to do that they could not do befor for the country when they were in that white house….i mean the clinton families….and they are still looking for power and privilege!?

You Hillary supporters are so right, Obama should just lay on the floor and let her walk all over him and not fight back. Hillary tries to attack his character and him as a person, he attacks her voting record and her "experience".

OBAMA 08

The world needs better than a Clinton!

OBAMA 08

I'm interested as well to hear how the candidate who has divided the democratic party will unite the republicans and the democrats…

Hillary was for NAFTA before she was against it — just like the War.

Just as Mitt Romney lost support for being a flip-flopper, so will Hillary.

You followers of Hillary need to understand that Obama has already won.
Ohio is starting to turn more and more to Obama everyday were knocking on doors and opening the minds of the people. You people as well as Hillary need to give up

iam for hilary,is that simple

It is ok to point out the differences. It is a must to respond to attacks, especially swiftboating. Hillary was swiftboating Obama, trying to turn his strength to weakness. Obama crashed Hillary right there. Let's see what next Hillary will come up with.

Why is it when I refer to "Superdelegates" being on Hillarys campaign payroll, that my comments don't get posted here? A little to close………
for comfort……CNN?

I find it amusing the number of attacks from the Hillary Camp and not just on this thread but on many others. I also find myself chuckling at the level of childishness displayed. Read your post people. Most of it sounds like two kindergardeners.

All men are created equal, what about women? Time to update those words, right!? Besides, Barack is no MLK!

Ohh… and also, Hillary tried to implement Universal Health Care while Bill was President. Did Obama draw from that experience?

LOL!LOL! STOP CRYING CAMP BILLARY!!!!!!

Obviously his words are affecting the voters….He is LEADING!!!!!!!

Internet chatter IS NOT going to help BILLARY!!!!!! Say what you want to say about Obama and his speeches….they seem to be working!!!!

Hillary is on her …what??? 4th slogan???? LOL!LOL!LOL!

Hearing Bill talk about how speeches are one thing but actions another is real funny, considering how his speeches helped get him into office int the first place. If you say that Obama has no substance, you obviously have no intention of listening to what he is saying. If you would listen, you would realize that there is more to his speeches than just talk.

OBAMA IN 'O8!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Everyone thinks that all these votes are FOR Obama. Reality check. It was annouced time and time again on the radio that republicans are going out to vote for Obama just because they hate HRC. They will not cast there vote in November for him. Obama wins the nomination, McCain will win. They know Hillary will be the only one who can win the General Election. I wish people would wake up and see whats going on.

Is there anything creative about Obama? Change? Nope, he admitted borrowing it from JFK and MLK. But in fact, he really borrowed it from Bill Clinton… the same campaining tactic… and didn't quote Bill for it.

Hillary has been talking and working on keeping jobs in America long before Obama decided to pick up on her lead.
Pat,(USAF) You are so right with the " Prince of waffle"

Next stop – Call the lying witch out on her 35 yrs of experience. Since she blatantly counts her yrs in the White House, she should release the recs showing exactly what she did – besides fire the entire travel dept and hire her family and friends and lie and say it was coincidental…

That is good work………Obama all the way!!!

I love the Tory posts of experience. Hello??? The Bush/Clinton Dynasty has been in power for 20 years…. they are the only ones with experience.

We have two choices.. Monarchy or Democracy.

I'm with Washington, Franklin, Adams, Jefferson, Hamilton, Madison, Jackson. Vote for Democracy send the Tories to Canada!

iam for hilary,abama is a smooth talking with no sustance

The superdelegates have a right just like we do to vote for who they think would be the best telling them they should go with the popular vote is not right if that is true I believe they should not get to vote. Just like Florida and Michigans votes dont count. If i lived in those two states I would be fighting for my rights. Your votes should count. The popular vote is not always the right vote. Oboma is popular but can he really run the country right now I just do not think he as enough experence behind him right now maybe down the road.

When a candidate is behind, they get desperate. Hillary doesn't want to hear Obama speeches because her speeches are bland in comparison. She doesn't want Americans to hope..too much, because that is what Obama has inspired us to do. If Hillary can't make her point, she should consider getting out of the race. Hillary appears to be a better manager, which is the job of a cabinet member. However, Obama appears to be a better leader, which is the job of the president. Hillary has quandered her moment by following bad campaign advice. For Obama, the future is now!

Hillary is good but Barack is better. He has a vision to take this country to it highest potential. I would have prefer Hillary experience but she seems to want the job so back that she can do anything to win.

Go Barack.

Obama is a master hypnotist! He's got 1/2 the nation blabbing the same bits of information like Zombies. Wake up America before it's too late.

Sen. Clinton says "words are cheap". And she uses words to do so. How much cheaper are Obama's words than hers ? Give me a break. This is the biggest fairy tale I've ever seen. When Hillary can communicate to us all through telepathy, only then can she put forth a notion like that. She and her husband use an awful lot of words…and that adds up to a lot of cheap.
Go ahead, folks. Roll the dice, as Bill Clinton said. No balls, no blue chips. And if Obama can't cut it, Hillary will be able to challenge him in 2012 with an "I told you so".

Keep pointing out the bs of HRC! She is all talk and no action. For 15 years she has been talking about HEALTH CARE…where the heck is it? Still all talk. She also has poor judgement. Voted for the war, supported NAFTA, licenses, no licenses, licenses…and she had the nerve to take furniture from the White House that did NOT belong to her! poor judgement!

urgh i wish i was American just so that i could vote Obama in, he is such a breath of fresh air- Clinton urgh……No Thanks!
Britain 4 Obama

If someone who has 4 years of government service can run president, what kind of president are we electing. There will be many of them.

Does Obama know what he is running for? For change? The question is how.

RUMBLE YOUNG MAN RUMBLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! AHHHHHHHHHHHHH

Obama 08,12

When Obama hits back, the Hill folks cry. Why is that? Barack has been taking hits from both Hill and Bill. Whom, by the way, started it. Why is it OK for them, but not OK for Barack to hit back. I say, slug them out of the park, and kick them both to the curb.

YES WE CAN !!!! OBAMA 08.

I fail to see how this is dirty. The way Clinton has been playing is dirty. At least the things Obama is saying are factual. I guess the truth hurts.

Bringing hope to America!!

!!!!!!!!!!Obama 'O8!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hillary or Mccain?

Jerk is right. He is now copying Bush. He thinks if he says it enough times it will be true. Been there, done that.

We just receive a call from Obama campaign. When we told the caller that we were supporting Hillary, they told us "foolish you." That was incredible rude and I thought everyone should know.

Hillary Clinton = Everything that's wrong with Washington and politics today and yesterday.

Barack Obama = Everything that's right for America now and in the future.

I AM VOTING OBAMA THIS TUESDAY IN WISCONSIN. IT HAS BEEN A LONG TIME SINCE I HAVE FELT THIS INSPIRED AND EXCITED ABOUT A CANDIDATE RUNNING FOR PRESIDENT. LET'S VOTE OBAMA WISCONSIN AND SHOW OUR SUPPORT WHERE IT WILL BENEFIT US ALL!!

hillary// obma-macain/condalisa where we go from here

This is a public forum! Can't we be decent and civil? Do we have to say hurtful things about one candidate or other just to make ourselves feel good as we sit behind our computers and type away?

Let's clean up our act and discuss things more contructively. That is what America is all about, right?

stop being so blind……

OBAMA 08 HOPE

'jabs,' 'negative rhetoric,' etc. have always been part and parcel of politics in America. Should this reflect negatively on either candidate?

Should people express surprise? Be roused to ire?

No. Lighten up. No need to express big feelings of disaffection.

hillary supporters are SO jealous…its funny

we notice, when hillary down plays obama, ya'll let it go as business as usual.
when barack critizes hillary all the frustrated comments come, but when the clintons were in power for eight years & until this recent campaign yr. Ya' ll hated the clintons. (!i wonder whats up with that.!

george;, ps. ra—- ;

Obama's politics don't seem to be all that "changed" from anyone else; in fact, not as honorable.

Yes. Texas wants change. But Texas wants the experience with the change.

Texas is for Hillary Clinton for President.

There is a lot of shallow talk with Senator Obama's campaign. The man is eloquent, inspiriing. He draws a lot of emotions. In the long run what counts is the integrity of words spoken. I have not seen it yet in this campaign. If he is the standard bearer, and would be merely talking, I would rather vote for a more realistic candidate, even a Republican, who can face the problems of our country with realistic solutions.

Leave it to Obama for knocking Hillary as all the media is doing. I am a democrat and I am afraid of Obama, just another Jim Jones with all his charismatic ways. We see how everyone is taken in by someone like him with all his fancy talk, Remember what happened in Germany many years ago. It was their down fall. Hillary is the best.

Talk about the role of super-delegates?

These people who have served the country for many years and their experiences and judgments are vital for us to elect a proper president.

I would rather question the role of teenagers in the vote. Do they know enough to be counted for?

Clinton keeps saying: Barack is all talk!!!!! let's take a look at Hillary, in her last election as a senate she told New Yorkers vote for me and I am not running for President, I will be elected as a senetor and it's my duty to give New York 6 years as a senetor, promise. As soon as she was elected, she was off to the next step: THE PRESIDENCY. I'm affraid the promises she's giving us today will have the same fate.

hey CLinton for all the people America need you love you HILLARY 08 HILLARY CLINTON CLINTON HILLARY best for AMERICA 08

Dear Hillary: To say, "Words don't matter" is absurd! Why do we pledge our allegiance to the flag, recall the speeches of great leaders, say vows of marriage, pray, etc.? I guess Hillary's words only matter, right? Give me a break! If I have to keep hearing your screaming and shrilling voice on TV…STOP screaming Hillary, its over for you! You've proven to America what an unethical person you are! BARACK FOR PRESIDENT!

Oh good grief Hillary Fans:

Take a deep breath. Last night was certainly nothing worse than all of Hillary's prior "jabs" at Obama like the television commercial she is running here criticizing Obama for refusing to debate for the umpteenth time. She wasn't even planning to come to Wisconsin (as has been pointed out by Governor Jim Doyle). I am a McCain fan, but I think I will vote for Obama in the primary on Tuesday. The sceeching of the Clinton campaign will probably drive a number of moderates like me to the polls.

vote for obama now ….then vote for mccain november

It's about time he speak in more direct terms about her actions & words. She has been slapping him in the face since the Potomac Primaries and it shows her desperation. I think he's run a tremendously clean campaign – AND HE DOES NEED TO CORRECT THE RECORD ON WHAT HILLARY, THE QUEEN OF SPIN, SAYS!!

Thank you Obama for speaking up!!

Experience is the process or fact of personally observing, encountering, or undergoing something: business experience.( Dictionary.com)
Looking at things from that view, Hill gained a lot from observing Bill, so she does have experience. That brings us to question just what she experienced. If her experience came through Bill….then her experience comes from the first president to be impeached in many, many years. I think it is best to have your own resume. I think Obama has as much or more experience than Hill/

Sorry, I meant the only Democrat who has won against Republicans in the last 30 years.

I am happy to see so people going back and take interest to politic and it is because of Obama, H. Clinton did believe to win, and now she goes negative, too bad to pretend to be the one for the job.
Is great after the Bush' years to see America going different way.
The Obama speaches echo around the world for hope and change.

a friend from Canada.

How many people have $5 Million in personal bank account, for "emergencies"? I suppose if I knew all the ropes of how to bleed the country of monies and make shady deals I could maybe have a balance in my account. She knows all the loops and tricks of how to scam and steal from America. If we want real change, we need to start with someone leading our country that doesn't know how to do this…that's the only way we can get out of this mess. Clinton's want the power and prestige back that they had a good taste of for 8 yrs. Living as a threatened peon like us is a nightmare to them. ****OBAMA "08*****

For those criticizing Obama for "going negative," I'd like to know what you think he should have done instead. Further, in my mind it is Clinton who is the calculating one, devising attack line after attack line, trying to bait him into responding in turn. Instead, he has addressed her criticisms without being underhanded. I respect his approach and he is my choice for POTUS.

Where's the polictics of "hope", he sounds just like a normal politician who's changing his approach because the polls are telling him to. Where's the beef in his message, instead of attacking your opponent which is the normal politics, tell us how you are going to make the things you talk about actually happen.

Obama Supporters!!! WHAT HAS OBAMA DONE FOR THIS COUNTRY?

PLEASE PROVIDE A LIST OF HIS DEEDS! THEN I WILL CONSIDER VOTING FOR HIM!

I watched both speeches at the Wisconsin Democrat dinner and this report from CNN does't do either of the candidates any justice.
Saying that Obama was off the charts.
Just go to you tube and search Obama and words don't matter
The problem with Hillary is she will loose the nomination not because she doesn't have experience or good policy proposals but because people just don't like her
When she goes negative it doesn't help her. She had the chance to win this nomination but instead squandered 100 million dollars and a 30% lead in the polls.
I respect her but i think she had her chance and blew it

Seems angry. I think Barack needs to "Chill".

Can't believe so many people support Hillary in some misguided attempt to bring back the Clinton years. First, it aint gonna happen, that time is long past, and should be left there, in the the past. Second, the Clinton years weren't great, Bill didn't DO anything, which is good in the sense that he didn't mess with the economy and it's always does better if presidents don't meddle with it, but bad in that he did nothing about terrorism, even after multiple attacks. Those years brought us balanced budgets and 9/11.

It's time for a CHANGE. The Bush's and the Clinton's have ran the White House for 20 years! It's time for CHANGE! Obama is for the people! I'm voting for Barack because he is for the good of the people. Just think, Obama was not supposed to go this far? He has proven that with hope, anything is possible. This is very inspiring and encouraging.

Go Obama!

OH. BY THE WAY, I'M QUITE SURE YOU WON'S POST MY PREVIOUS MESSAGE BECAUSE IT IS TOO INFLAMMATORY AND TRUTHFUL, CNN.

Obama, your speech was meaningless and lacked substance, again!

I do have one question though. If your plan is to give all college students $4000.00 (of money we don’t have) how do you expect to get it paid back? I know you said that they can do community service.
(Good luck with that, I can’t get my 19 year old to get the cans to the street once a week?)

If this community service is not paid for, will you "Mandate" them to pay it back…. If so why not healthcare, (I guess you want to create even more debt?

"Mandate" for student loans, I would rather we “mandated” Health Care than finance "your" election by buying the young voters.

Obama, You are like “Pinocchio” You lie and you are a Puppet!

Wow, some folks just don't get it. None of us Obama supporters think he's going to single handedly end partisanship, make the Democrats and Republicans hug and be friends, and fix the entire world all by his lonesome. That's naive. What he's got, that Clinton and McCain don't have, is millions of people from different walks of life who see something to believe in — ourselves. If you understand politics, millions of people working together actually CAN make a difference. Congress is deadlocked, not cooperating with the plans of the President? Solution: have millions of people lean on their local representatives. Believe it or not, things can happen.

Hope is not about rainbows and bunnies and never being critical of your opponent's paper thin "plans" and "what-sounds-good-at-the-moment" policies, it's about working together towards something better. Something this country has failed to do. I'm young, and I'm pissed off that my elders have kicked around health care, social security, the climate, and the rest of the major problems we need to deal with. Hillary's really going to change that? Give me a break, they already had 8 years to try. McCain wants to bomb Iran? Hell no, I'm not getting drafted so that he can prove his hawkish credentials.

This country's so far down in the dumps, there's no way change can be a bad thing!

Obama '08
Yes we can!

TO BE QUITE FRANK, THERE IS NO WAY THAT RURAL OHIO, PA, TX, ETC. WOULD EVER VOTE FOR OBAMA. I HAVE LIVED IN THE OHIO VALLEY AND BEAVER VALLEY OF PA FOR MANY YEARS AND I HEAR WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING. TRUTH BE TOLD, THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NO WAY THAT A BLACK MAN WILL BEAT MCCAIN IN THE FALL. IT MIGHT BE SAD TO SAY THAT AMERICA HAS NOT COME THAT FAR IN THE LAST 40 OR SO YEARS, BUT IT IS TRUE. HE CANNOT AND WILL NOT WIN EVEN IF HE GETS THE NOMINATION.

I AM A STRONG HILLARY SUPPORTER FOR MANY, MANY REASONS, BUT I MYSELF, AS A PERSON OF MIXED RACE AND ETHNIC AMBIGUITY (ADOPTED AT BIRTH, UNKNOWN ETHNICITY, RAISED BY AFRICAN AMERICANS) WILL VOTE FOR MCCAIN IN THE FALL IF BARRY WINS, JUST OUT OF PRINCIPLE. SHE IS THE BEST CANDIDATE PERIOD.

LETS PUT MCCAIN AND CONDY IN, THEN A WOMAN OR AN AFRICAN AMERICAN WILL NEVER AGAIN HAVE THE CHANCE . MARK MY WORDS, THAT IS EXACTLY WHAT REPUBLICANS WANT..JUST TO PROVE A POINT.

DEMOCRATS NEED TO RALLY BEHIND HILLARY BECAUSE IT IS THE ONLY WAY DEMOCRAT WILL WIN THE WHITE HOUSE AND ANYONE WHO BELIEVES OTHERWISE IS A FOOL.

CLEARLY IT IS MUCH BETTER AND MORE POLITICALLY CORRECT TO BE A SEXIST THAN A RACIST IN THIS COUNTRY, BUT MARK MY WORDS: COME FALL, THE REVERSE WILL BE TRUE.

PAUL.

Finally, someone is showing us the "real" Clinton and everybody's mad. The fact is she's not consistent. She's part of the problem. OBAMA is always hammered for his so called "Lack of Experience" but at least the experience he does have is consistent. Keep playing hardball OBAMA !! We need you.

it's funny because 90% of Obama haters in this particular topic are female
Ridiculous

Brasil for Obama

I guess when Barack Obama challenges Hillary on the issues it's considered an attack, but when she attacks him about the way he inspires people it's only a question?

Obama is the best

We need brilliant energetic leaders ,Hillary was given 8 good years to deliver, but she failed and that is why she is back again with the same old politics.Guys let us wake up and vision our future.Our choice is Obama

GO OBAMA!

Oh and Nestor from Florida..
Tough Cookies about your states delegates being stripped.
Be angry at your states democratic party leaders
By the way, if Obama and Edwards had campaigned in those two states, Obama would've taken one if not both

Don't put Obama and Oprah in the white house. Go Hilliary.. you have my vote !!!

so i think a HILARY/ OBAMA ticket and a MCAIN/CONDALISA ticket is just what we need to wake us up!

I am an Obama supporter and under NO CIRCUMSTANCES will I vote for Hillary Clinton even if Obama is on her ticket as a VP.

I don't understand why Senator Clinton is so against inspiring hope. It seems to me after Senator Obama won Iowa, everyone was talking about hope and change. So when one of the other canidates talk about hope and change and something better in this country it is ok and when Senator Obama says it, it's just a speech??? Come on! We all know that the only real canidate for change is Senator Obama and it threatens everything going on in Washington the way it is right now. The last time anyone in this country really said anything that mattered was when JFK ask " what can you do for your country?"… It's kind of nice to be inspired again and obivously I'm not the only one that thinks so.

Let's see if Obama is a man of his word. He said if the Republican candidate accepts public financing and he is the Democratic candidate he would also accept public financing for the general election.
Because if Obama reneges on his pledge than he is the same old same old.
If McCain is willing to acceot public financing and Obama does not then that show Obama is the candidate of the "moment" not Clinton and I as a Democrat will not vote for him

Clinton supporters sure are funny. I thought Hillary Clinton liked to be attacked and i know she likes to attack. keep in mind Hillary began the attacks on obama because she realized who the better candidate is. She thinks it is the "most fun" part of the campaign so please don't get so touchy.
Obama for president

When did America stop hoping? When did America stop believing? Change without experience is taking one step forward and two steps back. We as democrates have to be prepared to fight, obama falls to meantion that all too often.

Susan, remember Bush? He was not from Washington and he wanted to bring change to Washington. Please tell me if we are any better than sever years ago?

Obama has no problems raising money that's why he has no problem not accepting public funds. The other candidates need public funds because they don't have the overwhelming support of the public.

It's a sad day for America and a sadder one for the rest of the world when we think that more of the same shall change anything. In these critical times, we cannot afford that. It's bigger than you, America

GO OBAMA 08!!!

Go Hillary! We support you!!

I'm afraid that Republicians are setting it up for Mccain to win. Barack is not going to win, He's just taking votes from Hillary. Does anyone even know Barack health care plan? If Barack wins, Mccain will win, think about it.

Barack Obama does it again. If only he could reach all of the towns in all of the states coming up. But I have lots of faith in the Wisconsinites.

I think who ever planned his campaign did a great job, but there need to be more commercials with Barack himself speaking and and also more commercials in general (especially during daytime television)

CNN is bias, only Obama'a speech, no respect for women, this is a man's world dominating politics and the media. Looks like another man in Oval Office in 08, how surprising???

obama dont want florida and michigan count in , but if he gets the domination this 2 stated are going to remenber that and they will not voted for obama , and they will go for republican this only is going to knock out the democract out of the white house , how stupid this party can be . said no then in november they will said no to you ……

Thats the way to tackle the Clintons!
Fire back as soon as they attack you…
GO Obama Go!!

BARACK OBAMA 08… KEEPING IT REAL!

Why is this considered an attack? All Barack did was respond, politely and rationally and truthfully, to Hillary's "contrasts." Where's the jab? I just don't see it.

McCain voted 40% of the time.
Obama voted 60% of the time
Hillary voted 75% of the time
Who is on duty more of the time?

A vote on Hillary now is also a vote on Obama. There's no way Hillary would choose another VP than Obama. Hillary now to target economy and health care, Obama with an important role in the adminstration to boost him for the future presidency. Hillary 08!

OBAMA 08
OBAMA 08
OBAMA 08
OBAMA 08
OBAMA 08
OBAMA 08

McCain, Clinton, and OBAMA all have plans for this country and I strongly believe they have great plans. but we need someone that will bring a change, someone that will make the WORLD love us again. McCain (100yrs in Iraq!) cant do it. With Clinton(she voted for the war) it would be the same old thing. WE NEED A CHANGE, SOMEONE FRESH. OBAMA IS THE CHANGE. OBAMA 08

Ray from NJ, you hit it on the head

Politics as usual….is quickly fading away! The American people are fed up with the way our government is running our lives all for their own personal gain. By supporting Obama and real change, the Ameriacn people are speaking loud and clear and want real change.

That also goes for you superdelegates who want to be re-elected when your time comes. If you vote against the popular vote…then your days are limited as well.

Let's change American together! GO OBAMA!!!

Dan writes…HRC takes shots at Obama, so he takes a few shots back. How is this "slipping" or "taking shots because you're scared?" This is politics people, when you get kicked, you're probably going to kick back even harder, …. which is exactly what Obama did

uhm, I thought obama was all about changing "the old politics" oh that's right…only when it is convenient for him.

He's right. Words do matter. He'll make a great "educator-in-chief" (and inspirer-in-chief). They attack his oratory skills because they lack them. We don't need Hillary talking at and lecturing us from the oval office, thank you very much!

The more Obama talks the more he exposes himself as the same o, same o not change.

In Feb of 2007 when he had no money, Obama pledged that if the Republican candidate would do the same, Obama would accept public funding.

Now, McCain is asking Obama to keep his word and Obama will not confirm he will honor his pledge and his word.

Obama's word is not worth the paper it is written on or in this case the air in which it was spoken.

I'm an "ole geezer". I was inspired by JFK in 1960 . So , I've been there – done that. Now I look for something more substantial . To
my mind, Clinton is far more substantial than Obama.

I'm sick and tired of this sleek manuering by Obama, give me a break, he supported NAFTA in 04 and now he doesn't, he supported not going to War but yet votes for everything to support the War, he supported sending nuclear waste to Nevada now he doesn't, he doesn't support health-care mandates now he does., he supported public financing for electioons now he doesn't. He is becoming the "Prince of Waffle," even the Wash Post mentioned him waffling. Stick that label on and kiss the vote away in NOV, Wakeup Democrats!!!!……

I am a 5I year old Hispanic single mom, I am an Administrator at the Corrections Department, I coordinated Reagans campaings, Many governors campaings ,but when I started listening to Obama, I knew that this young man was full of promises for our young generations and for the first time I will vote for a Democrat PRESIDENT. Puerto Rico for Obama.He is my American Dream . The Puerto Rican Governor has also endorse Obama. Obama is contagious and I can smell the victory already. Hillary thinks that she got the hispanic votes, sorry Hillary you are not my hero this time around. I think she would be excellent, but I have another commitment this time.If swhe runs for Vice-President I have no choice.I will not whisper to tell Obama I was a republican.

People, people, please stop with all these hateful words. Both of these candidates are trying top be president. Part of being president is playing the politics game. Though they are playing the game differently, they are both playing the game. That's why they call it politics.silly people. just pay attention to what they are saying without bias and choose a candidate. And when november comes around, vote Democrat in '08. Because if we don't we're might be in this same situation again in 4 to 8 yrs. you know like, in more debt, more people dying oversees, record people losing jobs and homes.

GO DEMS in '08

GO BARACK!
Finally, getting rid of some of that ammunition, hes got lots of it, and it's called the truth, which hillary, and the gop are very afraid of.

He's in way over his head. And he is no different from any other politician. He's not "change".

McCain or Clinton '08!

Does anyone else notice the number of poorly written comments complete with type-o's and grammatical errors that are left by the supporters of Hillary Clinton?

CLinton dishes but she cant take ? If you cant handle the heat .. You get out.

It seems that a lot of women who support Hillary because of her gender are now crying because she is losing. Do not be upset at other voters because you chose to support someone based on gender and didn't take the time to examine all candidates carefully

OBAMA KNOWS WHAT HE IS SAYING AND HE KNOWS WHAT USA NEED IN THIS DAY AND TIME ITS ALLABOUTH THE FUYURE!!!!! GO OBAMA

For people who grew up in China, Obama'scampaign reminds us the culture revolution in China during 1960's. Chairman Mao was extremely inspring to the young generation and he was a great poet. Unfortunately, culture revolution was a disaster to China's economy. Enthusiam, channeled in wrong direction, may do more harm to a country sometimes.

In this world good speech is not enough to become leader, experience and talency plays vital role. Only the Hillary has got everything to became a excellent and brilliant Leader of USA . Obama needs 10-15 more years to become a president.

Obama is a true visionary. His name will last very very long in American history and as a matter of fact in world history. Obama's name will be as famous and as well know as the Mandela and Gorbachevs of this world. The man is supr brilliant and that is the reason he appears to be so different than your average run of the mill Hillary or Bill or John.
Go for it Obama. And indeed "YES WE CAN!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

can someone tell me why most irrational negative comments against senator Obama are coming from women?

Ladies, this is not the time for blind feminism! The future of our country is at stake!!!

Obama/Edwards 08

Oh come on get off your lalala politics box. All human beings are perfect in one area…………….and that is we all are perfectly imperfect and so is Obama …………….lol wow lets get real. Vote Clinton the only politician at this time for the Dems who is ready to take the heat at this moment in History!

Can you say "First Lady Michelle Obama"? Well you better get use to it all you Barack haters and Billary lovers.

Obama is running on the same theme that George Bush ran on in 2000 – a uniter and a non-partisan politician. Look what we got.

Obama is such a hypocrite! I'm glad others are starting to see this too!

Obama is running on the same theme that George Bush ran on in 2000 – a uniter and a non-partisan politician. Lokk what we got.

I agree with Tim Texan that Obama has played the newsmedia and the public for fools. Go Hillary.

.
Barack is not………………what you think he is.
Cinton is the real thing. Her thoughts come from herself,
not what someone has prepared for her to say.

Again, the media along with the republicians are trying to help
Obama win to ensure they will not be beaten by Clinton. They know they cannot beat Hillary. If you people want a democratic president ,
then vote the the one that will actually win, Clinton. .
The republicians are donating to obama to ensure his win in the primary so they can beat him in the real election. Then will have another BUSH…. is that what you want?

I don't see Obama bringing any change. He hasn't been tested. What will bring change is a a more involved electorate with their elected officials and elected officials with the credentials to make things happen. As we hae seen, Obama can get in the mud too. Vote for credentials. I am tired of speeches.

It's obvious that whoever is criticizing Obama here didn't really read the story. Obama was responding to senator Clinton's "jabs" and his words were well spoken and intelligent, not filled with malice, but reason. People here just read the headlines and instantly form an opinion. This is despicable, if you ask me.

I am sick and tired of the media's roll in this crucial election year. While they've place Obama in a pedestal, they have been bias and unfair to the most qualified person out there for President…Mrs Clinton. If that had been Hillary…everyone would be all over her.

Someone on this post said it. The person to beat the Republicans this November is Hillary, that's why all the Replicans want her out! They must be sitting back with a big smile watching the "chage guy" brain wash the Democrats. And because of all the negative publicity towards Clinton, people are being swayed to support Obama and his empty message of "Hope". This will hurt the Democrats come Nov if he's the nominee. We're going to lose this election!!! This will be another sad reminder of how they took the election from Gore and how they stepped all over Kerry.

I agree, Obama has potential and he may one day be a great President…but not this year and this is too important time to lose.

Hillary 2008

Obama 2016

Stating the truth about what he, Obama, has done, and stating the truth about what, Hillary, she has not done, is not an "attack." An "attack" is when people distort or lie about the record of another as Hillary and Bill have done consistently with Obama since Iowa.

I believe Obama needs to respond to their lies and distortions. You cannot ignore when people like the Clintons to that., or the Republicans too.To do otherwise, he would fall into the same problem Sen. Kerry faced in the last election with the Swift Boat folks, who lied and distorted about Kerry's service record, causing him to lose the election.

This Obama thing turn me away from the democratic party…

We still cannot deal with a strong woman. It is heartening to see we can handle an African American man, but is breaks my heart that a woman who has given so much to her country is subjected to the battering and "witch" or rhyming words. A very sad commentary for us.

Go Obama!

It's amazing the number of Republicans who are looking seriously at voting for Barack Obama in the general election….that says it all. End of story. Clinton is a lightning rod for the Right and will continue the partisan politics that has shut down Washington for the last two decades.
She's a divider, not a uniter. Put Hillary up for the Democratic nomination and McCain will win by 2%.

I was a Republican.I am a 51 years old andsingle mom of two teen's.I run Reagans Campain,and variou Governorss Republican

The Movement is in play. Go all the way Obama!!!!!

All of you who suppor OBAMA will eat crow when Hillary win ..and the real truth come out about this man whos name rhymes with Osama

How come this doesn't read "Obama ATACTS Clinton"??? Oh, yeah, we must baby the baby….

Hillary has the solutions for everything she brings up and is not afraid to debate but, Obama is afraid to debate………if he wasn't afraid to debate he would be willing to debate more then twice!!! Viva Clinton Viva

Barak Obama will win Tezas and Ohio…..and the White House. He is 3-1 for the WH and as of today 5-7 for the dem nonination.

Our system is in dire need of a cleansing and Obama is just the person to do it!!!
Obama '08

The sissies are now crying, "men do not attack women." Well, well, well— what can I say. Maybe Hillary does not truly represent the "women's movement." In short, she should not be challenging Obama to debates or speaking evil of such an honest man. You simply cannot destroy the character of an honest man

Obama is congruent. It is time our politician's words and actions over time be something that this American can count on. I am so tired of power plays and political manoverings to keep party-line and party power, completely disregard issues essential to so many Americans. Power plays in old-time politics continue to gut this country.

Obama represents to me congruence, character and SUCH needed change!

First you start with a DREAM.

Then you put the DREAM to WORDS.

Then you take the the WORDS and put them into ACTION.

Obama is now at the DREAM and WORDS stage.

After he is elected PRESIDENT he will move to to the final stage and begin to take ACTION.

And that will be good for the USA and the entire world.

sleep sleep, sleep to sell.That is what obaman try to do. Who want to sleep, vote for obama

It is hard believe how the electorate could be so naive. Candidate for change? Solution business? all is but rhetoric. All candidates are making promises. So far, I never heard that Mrs Clinton is ditributing bank cheques to the people she talks to – speeches. An electoral manifesto is but promises. People tell me: did President Bush tell us that he was going to take us to war when he got elected? No, he promised to solv e the problems of America. The truth of the matter is that it is candidate's charisma that makes them likable and gets them elected.

Nonsense. Obama has indeed been much more consistent than Hillary Clinton who went along with the Bush 9-11 nonsense, the patriot act, the iraq war etc.

Obama is no better than any other politician. He just thinks he is. And the news media and and public have been played for fools.

Texas for hillary

Obama is the biggest hoax of all times.So negative and full of hatred but packaged with a smile and empty words of promise.Go Hillary you need to win Wisconsin,Ohio,Texas and shut this man up.

Trust me HRC supporters, Obama is not "scared." Far from it.

I'm puzzled as to why some people think Obama's momentum is "losing steam," considering HRC has yet to beat him since Feb. 5, which was … how many states ago?

HRC takes shots at Obama, so he takes a few shots back. How is this "slipping" or "taking shots because you're scared?" This is politics people, when you get kicked, you're probably going to kick back even harder, …. which is exactly what Obama did.

CNN like always only reports Obama' speech!!!!! this is a brainwash.

Ever notice that the majority of Hillary supporters feel the need to use all caps to make their points made? As for the 'Kool-Aid" comment, it's a proven statistic that well educated people tend to support Obama. I still don't understand how being first lady and then running for senate in a state that you've never lived in becomes "experience."

I quess He starter fealling Hillary's comeback that will give her the nomination

Go Hillary GO!

OBAMA 2008!!!!!
Hillary is not a great leader..and we don't need 26 years of Bushs'/Clintons'..this is America people…

and Obama would easily win now if it wasn't for Hillary's friends..the super delegates keeping her alive..

OBA-MA O-BA-MA O-BA-MA

YES WE CAN!

Obama jabs Clinton left and right at Wisconsin Dems Dinner

CNN and much of the media has a shameful habit of using
violent metaphors to describe Obamas words.

An ABC reporter.
Listen as "Obama sticks a knife into her and twist it."

Hey Hey Hey, politics is a battle. If these guys aren't critical of each other how the crap are they gonna learn from each other and grow. I say keep jabbing Obama, I'm in your corner buddy.

With someone like Clinton, you MUST fight back. Otherwise, she will quickly spread false information about you, and you will be dead.

OBAMA has taken the right move. You must play fire with fire

Great job Obama!! You project, integrity, honesty and the country is recognizing it!!! No more Clintons. they are such dishonest people and have proved that .

Go OBAMA!!! 08

go hillary …nobama 08

Down with OBAMA!!!

Get ready for Hillary or McCain

I was a Hillary supporter, but she has totally lost my respect and my vote. I am voting for Barack Obama because he is a true leader, and regardless of experience he is someone that stands by his word, and can unite people regardless of their viewpoints.

Hillary won't even listen to a conservative point of view. Barack will listen to everyone and come to the best conclusion for the American people.

You see people: when you stick to the issues IT IS NOT AN ATTACK! When you go after someone's style of speaking it is an attack. Why can't you understand that? If all of the candidates stick to the issues that Americans face, this would be a completely different race. I guess it was just an act that Hillary put on in the last debate

How is he blessed ? As an orartor He churns out what short sighted people want NOT the truth. The Truth is ONLY HILLARY is capable with enough internal strength to take what the news media and ignorant followers of sound bites throw her way. We get the leaders we deserve. It is my fondest hope that we are not Dumb and Dumber to fall for his platitudes. Yes words matter( this is not a movie this is the next four years folks): so does experience and wisdom Hillary owns both I pray for some serious thought from the Public on this important decision

"Obama jabs Clinton left and right at Wisconsin Dems Dinner" IT WOULD BE AN ATTACK IF THIS WAS CLINTON, IT IS CLEAR…THE MEDIA BOY (OBAMA) CAN NEVER GO ON THE ATTACK.

Imagine. All this damage is being done to Democrats by other Democrats. It seems the Republican "attack machine" that Hillary keeps referring to can't hold a candle to her attack machine and now to Barack's attack machine. Could it be….GASP….that Democrats play just as dirty in politics as Republicans? Or is this Democratic primary mess being caused by a vast, right wing conspiracy?

How many woment are in the US Senate and how many African-Americans are in the Senate? If you want to play the gender card vs. the race card look at the facts. Gender discrimination is more tolerated than racial discrimination??? Just more rhetoric not supporting the facts.

Ok he acted like a politician here. But he is not anyway near as bad as Hillary. Thus, by a process of elimination, Obama still stands out as the guy to vote for.

We'll see if talk is cheap when Texas and Ohio vote. If he wins in Texas and loses by a small margin in Ohio, the Clintons have no way of crawling back.

Obama dosent have much of a record to desifer. He needs alittle more time in the senate for me to vote for him, im for hillary.

The Billarybots should THANK the Obama supporters for the devotion to get him to the White House.

We'll give you eight years to consider how to show your appreciation.

An angry face of an angry man if I ever saw one!

So he points out she follows popular opinion, especially round campaign time and hes viciously attacking her? Uh, I think most of America already knows this. I love how the Hillary lovers think her sheets are clean.

Obama is just like an infomerical. We want change but let's make the right decision.

I feel that Obama had to come back at her, just to see in my case what she will do next. She is running out of things to say that might help her, and im like most people, it's a little to late in the game to start switching up your message. Hillary has a new theme every other day and none of them seems to be working for her! What can she do? I believe that she has no rabbit's left in the hat to pull out! Yes' she is a fighter bot'

BARACK OBAMA 08

Yeah, all men are created equal like Bill Clinton and you, right? Ocean and pond!

Obama wants us to be the same and only one, that is mislead the true concept, we are born to be different. He sounds like a learning to be a politician. But if he is wining, we may be live in the peace, on both the west and east. one is Obama and other is Osama.

Go Obama Go.. you good thing you!

Go job my guy, they can't intimidate you ever. You are the chosen one that why it takes three Clinton against one, but at the end they will bow.
God bless America.

The more he gets off of his canned speeches, the less I even like him. Talk about packaging and marketing, that is the only reason he has gotten as far as he has. He is already starting to flip flop now that the heat is actually being turned up a little.

This country needs a leader not a follower. Have anyone noticed how Clinton is following suit with everything that Barack have always been doing. All of a sudden she has a huge interest in the smaller states. Hmmm I thought they did not matter and anyone who does not see this is BLIND!!.

OBAMA 08

I can't believe Hillary would be so divisive and negative……oh wait that was the "change guy" who said that.

You are being fooled by this guy. Wake up and smell the resko.

politics of the moment, please Obama look at yourself infront of a mirror, and take a good look ar what you really see.

He should stick to the speech his writers write for him. When he strays it shows that he maybe isn't even such a good orator after all!
Taking cheap shots cuz we're scared Mr. O? Your mask is starting to slip….

There's lots of talk concerning the experience Obama and Hilary Clinton does not have, but there's no talk concerning the lack of experience the Bush administration have. But my biggest question is, "What if President Bush had suddenly (God for bid) had died? That would leave Dick Cheney as acting President of the United States of America". How could the American people put this country in MAJOR JEOPARDY! When Bush announced Dic Cheney as Vice President, red flags all over America should have been raised on both sides of the party. Are we so afraid of certain families, that we allow the same dictatorship, that has launched the American people into war, but yet allow it in our on country. Even this comment will never be made public. Because of the owner of our television network. They are Rebublicans. Our news is partial to the republican party.

Signed Fisherman Bill

Bararack Obama, is MORE than anyone leading a Nasty campagin. He has proved once again, that sexism is more tolerated in the world than raceism. Yes the man has a good line about politics as always IT IS HE who is throwing the MUD. Hillary Clinton is a bright, accomplished leader who is deeply loved( guilt because she has been so ruthlessly smeared for deeds and misdeeds that are not her own.) The press has her gulity for not divorcing her husband ) For being brighter than many of them. Heaven forbid for aging publically. For not being the ideal mother, for having her own thoughts. For many who have voted and those have have not yet had the chance, it is only those who are serious thinkers,who are not easily swayed by cheap words, will see the Honor and Hope Hillary Clinton offers this country at this desperate time.

Wow!!!! I am seeing a new side to this person, and I love it. CCN did not precisely convey the moment, you just have to see this yourself, Obama did a hell of a job, Obama has my vote.

Sliimey…..He does what he wants and gets a pat on the back , when she attacks she's the wicked witch.

Hillary 2008!

Obama 2016!

As a Texan and a Republican, I am going to cast my vote in the Texas Primary in favor of Barack Obama…not because I intend to vote for him in November, but because Texas Repulicans have a chance to put a "nail in the coffin" of the Clinton campaign! As a Texan, I am allowed to vote in any primary I choose, Democratic or Republican, and I am going to vote for Obama in the Democratic primary. Texas election law allows this because one merely registers as a voter and not as a Democrat or Republican. Finally, my vote is going to count for something…keeping Hillary out of the White House!!

GO HILLARY….YOU THE BEST

alot of people say that cnn favors obama alot and that fox news and abc are more fair towards the subject. My opinion maybe the people favor obama too much and maybe he is a better leader. not matter Who is president they would do a better job than bush. People critize OBAMA not look at what he has actually done and why he is inspired to do it check your facts. I just think OBAMA would truly do a better job.

WE ALL KNOW SHE WILL BE THE NEXTAMERICAN PRESIDENT,THERE IS NO OTHER CANDIDATE OUT THERE BETTER THEN HILLARY… SHE IS BRILLIANT ….GO HILLARY!!!!!!!!!

Obama will prevail on Tuesday, and all the way to the other three big states on March4th. Clintons are attacking for no reasons, and these are the signs of losers. We pray for him day and night, and may God be with him and strenghten beacuse he is the only one who has been positively lifting his campaigns, and he is the only one who will bring Americans together, and restores Americans' reputation around the world. God bless him and his campaign staffs. The victory's is ours. To all the friends out there, do not take my word for it, see it for yourself oon Tuesday. We will prevail.

Bill,

I really liked you as president.
But what were you thinking running this desperate campaign ?
You singlehandedly managed to jeopardize your legacy in just a few short weeks.

Just stop it, and bow out gracefully.

Thanks,

Steve

The people of Wisconsin need to be very careful. The Clintons have a way of putting you to the side if you do not vote for them. Ask the people of the states we just had primeries last week. She did not say thanks for your help or nothing. The clintons has said repeately that states she has lost is nothing to her campaign. If she do win the nomination she will need these people again. Now I see why people dont like her. Watch her face and see how mean and nasty she looks. This is really sad for me to say. Thats why we have to have Sen. Obama. If not, we will not have the change we need to heal our country.
YES WE CAN, YES WE CAN

The Messiah again attacked Senator Hillary Clinton. Since, he is the Messiah, maybe he can solve the Aids crisis. Maybe, he has a prescription for that!

I've got the feeling that the two candidates that do best at the moment are the two that show independence (not just of their party, but more importantly, of their campaign staff).

Never, ever, let your personal message be clouded by the psychologists and sociologists on your campaign staff, who can't apply poll statistics, because they lack the basic understanding of the underlaying statistics anyway.

My favourite is still the "Obama 41 %, Clinton 25 % Edwards 14 %, with a margin of error of 4 %. BWHAHAHAHA, and the 20 % undecided will just spread evenly among the candidates – yeah, sure. (For those who don't get it: This statistic has a margin of error of 25-30 % because of the undecideds).

Good it's time he sets the record straight. Hillary has been distroting the facts, and its time America hears the truth.

More one sided reporting from CNN. Last week Hillary "attacked Obama relentlessly," but Obama simply "targets" and "takes jabs."

I am so over this direct support of Obama over Clinton. Just give us the new. We can decide for ourselves.

Mike-

I am so sick of Obama pretending to be on the right side of issues (Iraq resolution vote and now NAFTA) when he wasn't even around to have it mean anything. NAFTA was what, 1992? 1993? Wasn't he in diapers then? Okay seriously, didn't he just graduate from Harvard about that time? And we all know that he wasn't part of US Senate for the Iraq vote- who knows,he may have voted like his supporter Sen. Kerry. It just gets old- like his "present" votes, he seems to always be playing it safe and not really standing for anything. Universal Health Care that doesn't cover everyone is NOT Universal Health Care, Sen Obama. And why get on Hillary all of the time about her mandates. What about YOUR mandates for families with children until they are 25? How are YOU going to enforce that? Mandates are necessary- Universal Health Care would be useless without mandates (healthy people just don't bother getting insured until they are really sick and end up in ER or in the hospital)
Bottom line- Hillary has better plans, better solutions, and is more of a courageous leader. She has my vote.

I love how Obama says he's not into the "same old politics" yet he keeps firing negative comments towards Hillary.

Words do matter!

Isn't he against negative campaigning? He's a flip-flopper like all the other politicians. I will vote for him if he wins the nomination, but his main stump is the same as George Bush's in 2000, "I'm a uniter, not a divider". To get things done we need to change Washington, reach across the isle, etc. That's what they all say, he just articulates very convincingly. If he were really about change I wonder if the other elite politicians would be behind him. They're all making money with their dirty back room deals. Wake up sheep.

Dear Clintons,

please bow out gracefully.

Sincerely,

America

I live in the Netherlands and I warmly support Barack Obama.
He will not only be a great leader for the US but he can also inspire
people in the hole world.
He is authentic, has vision and he can build bridges between people.
For me he is a gift off God to this world and I hope that the American people can see that to. Get on that train of change! The world needs
a leader as Obama.

Ted van Tol

Viva Clinton Viva…………how subltl Obama is when he plays the race card……………..

CNN is in bed with the Clintons… If anyone should doubt this, I ask you to simply read the first paragraph and search for a video of her speech. If that's mild and only circuitously critical… Well, it's not and that's the point. And that, my friends, doesn't depend on what the meaning of the word "is" is.

History does not fly in as air, it is generated speeches is also part of history, and it is the speeches you called emty is what you use and it is what determine your decision making. you must count one before you count two. Obama is doing what is right for Him to do at any point in time. Hillary remember it his speeches you are using in your decision making which is part of History. So you and Him who is better? we want some thing 100% new. presidential race is not made for families to control.
Obama 08..

Sometime I feel sick of Obama, Talking

Negative
Complain complain, complain
No clear solution what he want to do
Creating a yes we can do theme song to persuade voters

Its really sound like we all living in a dream OBAMALAND

Again you print the Obama highlites and just mention Hillary. What is even more obvious you mention Hillary will do anything to win while Obama does the attacking.

Obama 2008 !!

Go Obama !
Let's cherish this moment and appreciate the rise of a uniquely talented leader.
"HillBilly", it is time to bow out gracefully.

Words matter alot just ask Mr. Clinton about his perjury hearing. I also thought it was funny to see Hillary giving a speech about speeches she said, "good speeches don't mean anything" while giving a bad speech. lol… Yeaha right! words don't mean anything,but you were angry about "words " a MSNBC commentary used regarding Chelsea. You Clintons amaze me with your double talk and thinking. America please vote for OBAMA! Do we want more of this Clinton,Bush crap?

Go Barack! Go ahead and say it like it is. Make it easy for some Americans to understand.

Yes, Hilary was subtle with her Obama attacks. But this seemed manipulative since her ads, claiming that Obama was ducking debates, were not subtle. This is probably why Obama defended himself. Why shouldn’t he rebut her ads? Last night, it was also interesting how five callers on C-Span radio (2 democrats, 2 republicans, and 1 independent) responded to both candidates’ speeches. They told the radio announcer they would vote for Obama. One Arizona republican went even further and called Hilary "icy, cold, and manipulative."

Thats it obama! Tell it like it is!!!!

RIGHT ON, MR. PRESIDENT!

Hope everyone goes and checks out factcheck.org…………the infliction of the voice on the wrong syllable I think.

This again shows that Obama fumbles for his words when they are not written by someone else.. Hillary is the best candidate and is right to question why he will not debate in Wisconsin.

"I have a dream" and "all men are created equal", yes we can. It took a while but that was the perfect answer. Obama is also right when he says you can have all the right intension but if you divide people with divisive politics, then how can you make those 10 point ideas become a reality.
Also honestly people please tell me what she did as a US senator…

Looking at the picture being presented of Obama, it appears He could eat a Water Melon in Tack and still have room left for "I Told You So!, Mathaw.

Obama did not jab left and right. He was simply responding to Hillary's comments about him. I thought the news media was supposed to objectively report the news and not spin it. Please let the public draw their own conclusions based on their own observations.

I watched both speeches live on C-Span. What a difference. Obama is a good speaker, but he also believes in people. He is not ignoring "down-scale" voters (as the Clinton campaign calls us), in smaller states that are not "delegate rich". He is the person that says what he believes and believes what he says. I respect that.

Way to Go! OBAMA 08!

I have never seen a photo of Obama without his mouth wide open- this guy only talks and does not listen, fatal for a Presidential candidate. What a fake and a fraud. As P.T. Barnum said, you can fool some of the people all the time and all of the people some of the time-the American electorate is not known for either its jgood udgement or realism(witness Bush) and some of the people (Obama supporters, oh the EXCITEMENT!!!!, like a rock star) are getting fooled all the time.

Obama has been advocating things for years. Probelm is, he wasn't in the senate. Can the media people ask some questions of him instead of ignoring everything.

Hillary's been making bad decisions all of her life. This is her political experience! Whoopie………………………………

Why doesn't he debate her in Wisconsin.Its easy to talk and criticize but the fact is they've only debated one on one once.Talk is cheap especially when its starting to sound like a broken record.We have had men in power since the beginning of this country,wouldn't it be a real change to have a women a different hormonial intelligence.Mabe less ego and testosterone.Hillary will bring real change alot more than another smooth talking male

"You can fool some of the people all of the time, and all of the people some of the time, but you can not fool all of the people all of the time. "
Abraham Lincoln

Abraham Lincoln's quote seems quite approprate for the Obama campaign. I just hope that some of we Democrats wake up before it is too late.

Clinton 08!!!!!!

If I read one more post or hear one more female Hillary fan utter or write the words : "You Go Girl!" I feel i'm going to puke. Risking the future of the country for some blind display of feminism is irrationally sad!!!

Senator Clinton = McCain 08

Obama trying to tie McCain to Bush. Not goning to bootcamp. At least McCain shows up to vote in the Senate.

Obama, let stay focus. When the Clintons, start attaching you back. Please do not go to CNN, crying the blues "Race Card".

How can Obama be upset when he copied most of Hillary's economic policy (as even the GOP recognizes). I think Obama is a good person, but we need solutions. My health insurance costs over $700 a month. Under the HRC plan, I would simply save more than under the Obama plan. Hillary simply has more solutions. I am not against Obama, I AM FOR HILLARY.

Obama is a joke, he is all about words and no facts. He can deliver a great speach, but exactly what hillary has mentioned, but when you start looking into his record, it does not add up at all. It's contradictions and lies, deceptions for the american people. He will say what ever to become next president. He is all about false adds, and the funny part is that when he attacks hillary on her ads and when you do your research his adds are false and misleading. Not according to her or her campaign, it's according to people who actually investigate.

Hillary has long supported NAFTA. Its goes to the question of how you can support labor in USA but still want to send jobs away from our economy. Answer is you cant. Again Obama shows more substance in his reasoning that Hillary.

What Obama supporters don't understand is that he – if elected- would work in Washington as every other President has and will be subjected to the same old Washington. You guys who think that his presence is going to change the town are greatly mistaken . Rhetoric only goes so far.

GO OBAMA!!

The gloves are off. No more Mister Nice Guy.

If Clinton is accusing Obama of special interest, who is Andrew Young and what does he represent in Hillary's campaign if not for special interest.

I look on Obama as an overcharged Transformer,

on a circuit boad, of the wrong of all components.

Dead short coming up!!!!

Obama change your name from OBAMA to OPRAH.
That's the only thing you can CHANGE.

Hillary's whole campaign boils down to this: Vote for me because I am Mrs Clinton.

Senator Obama worked his way up from the bottom rung on to the National Political scene. Hillary jumped to the head of the line because she is Mrs. Clinton.

We know which one has the really experience of having to come up through the ranks, on their own merits, and it sure as hell is not Mrs. Clinton.

Obama, is on stage currently, even though, He isn't in Hollywood. This isn't a theatrical platform.

What is the meaning of HOPE. The Webster dictionary defines HOPE, " A feeling that what is wanted will happen" " A person or thing from which something may be hoped." " to trust or rely"

Obama, is so weak in matters of running our country, it is ridiculous.
He has duped the younger population.

Good for you Obama. We know you have backbone.
Now it's time to let them know. And you are also
an honest person with a good heart.
Very hard to find these days.

AND I MIGHT ADD J.F.K.'S ASK NOT SPEECH, ANOTHER PRESIDENT SAID "WE HAVE NOTHING TO FEAR BUT FEAR IT SELF AND SOMEONE SAID "I STILL BELIEVE IN HOPE. OH YEA THAT WAS BILL CLINTON, BUT MAYBE HILLARY IS RIGHT TALK IS CHEAP. SHAME ON HER.

I watched the C-Span presentation of this event. Will CNN report on the negative campaigning Obama is doing, or will you simply overlook this as you have in the past? You certainly never let Hillary get away with anything.

Go Obama !. That's exactly how I feel.

He is starting to sound desperate. Looks like the train is loosing steam. Chug Chug Wisconsin, Chug Chug Chug Ohio, Chug Chug Chug Chug Texas! Chug Chu Ch C …………………….

I checked out Obama's cite for those so-called specifics.
What are you people talking about?
You need to be asking this moving speaker, with respect to him because i do like him, some very good questions about his policies.
He is very general across the board.
I need more than that before i vote for him.

so much for being the "nice guy" now. mr perfect hasnt tasted anything yet when it comes to negativity. get prepared for the worst to come and see if mr perfect can handle the fire.

Inspiring the country to believe in what? and do what? telling you that all are idiots and all failed and all are corrupted.. except him. The cool guy is in the business to ridicule everyone. What a hypocrite! And you want to see the angry man face over and over again for the next 4 years?

She asked for it.

I have enjoyed the evolution of Obama over the past couple of months. He is on target with his remarks about Clinton's policies. He is consistently keeping people honest to prevent them from twisting what has really happened in order to make themselves look better.

It's no wonder the Clinton's are so fired up angry, their ability to lie and stretch the truth is weakened by the next President, Obama.

This is politics as usual.

So much for Obama's politics of change. What a phony!

OBAMA HAS RUN HIS CAMPAIGN LIKE A WELL OILED MACHINE. ACTIONS DO MATTER! OBAMA HAS NOT HAD TO RETOOL CAMPAIGN LIKE MCCAIN AND CLINTION HAVE.SO I ASK YOU WHO DO YOU THINK WOULD DO A BETTER JOB RUNNING THIS COUNTRY.

Obama I have two things to say:

Where is the beef?!

Show me the money!

Now you can keep going with your grandielocuent speaches…..

boo hoo obama. go and steal more ideas from her (ie Ecomomic Policies) and then come back slamming her.

and this is what America wants???

i'd rather live in Iceland.

HILARY ADS AND ACTIONS SHOWS THAT SHE IS WILLING TO DO AND SAY ANYTHING TO WIN THIS RACE. IT MAKES HER LOOK LESS GENUINE AND LOWERS HER INTEGRITY.

SINCE WHEN DO "WORDS" DONT MATTER?

HEY CNN…

WHERE ARE HILLARY COMMENTS FROM THE WISCONSIN DEM

DINNER?

OH THATS RIGHT…CNN SUPPORTS OBAMA

SHAME ON CNN

HILLARY 08!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

OBAMA in 2008! We don't have time to waste!!

i think is time for hillary clinton to step down for barrack obama,or she will do it disgracefully by obama defitting her.By then the clinton political dynasty will fall.

So sad. Barrack and his cult followers have almost destroyed the Democratic party. I do dare to say it is almost fractured beyond repair. But I must say he is good a the spin. It seems everyone is to blame for everything, except him. hmmmmm. The great Obama speaks and you all shall follow

What makes it ok for obama to attack clinton ….. but not the other way around? I would personally like to have some answers on this larry sinclair thing. By not denouncing it. He is making it that much more believable.

Yup… Obama hit this one on the head.

Michelle said Obama was going to make mistakes like any human being. Then why, why can´t he accept some mistakes of the past?

A house divided against itself cannot stand
Dems had a good chance – now with these two kids attacking each other- I doubt.
McCain must be laughing loud at the other side of the world.

Nice… Kepp it coming Obama. She aint got nothing on ya. She is tough all of a sudden now… Even her campaign controls her, not she controlling her campaign.. Ready to lead on day one??? I hear ya!

I am surprised to read a story like this. For months Obama has been attacking Hillary more-so than she attacks him but the media never pays attention to that. Instead you hear Bill Clinton calls his campaign a "fairytale" and Hillary says this and that about Obama.

Obama is the candidate that is truly playing dirty.

I am so tired of Hillary stated what she can do. If she could have done it she would have already done it. She and Bill have been in the seat for so long now all of a sudden the can do this and that. Why isn't it already done by her if she can go about her solutions

This guy is starting to get out of control. Hope someone in CNN realises it and starts asking him questions that he can´t answer.
Like, why does he wantto double foreign aid? for what country?
Talking to his fans is like talking to a wall.

The title of this article is not correct. Obama mainly responded to the attacks by Clinton. I am disappointed with CNN.

They're both quite wrong about NAFTA. Our need to compete in global markets is more acute than ever, and while NAFTA may need some tweaking, protectionism is counterproductive.

Obama is just all talk. When will people wise up and realize this.

Jeez he's really mean spirited he always says Clinton and he will still be friends after the race she would have to be an IDIOT to still be his friend that's cold hearted to talk like that he doesn't know why she's running I thought he was a candidate of change I might now vote for Mccain instead

Clinton saying the media is favouring Obama – reminds me of "it's a right wing conspiracy" statement she made a few years ago! It's never the Clintons at fault – always someone else.

Mr. Obama, advocating for years?
As far as we all know, you have held a public office for two years which in fact, with all due respect, is certainly not grounds to have the most important job on the planet at this time.
Mr. Obama has done nothing for his own state, nothing for you and I and never even owned a business. How people, can we actually allow someone to govern our land with no experience at all… I would like to think we are smarter than that.
Mr. Obama is a fantastic speaker (found once again quoting the greats of our land in this story) but, has given the exact same speech for a year, even the author noted that Mr. Obama finally added a new line last night, "just recently"…
This one would be a very big mistake people…

If Obama is trying to claim he came up with the ideas hillary uses in her healthcare plan in september because he released his in the spring, he needs to step back and realize that just because her written proposal was put out in september does not mean she did not already have those ideas before then. She has been publicly promoting various aspects of her universal healthcare plan since as far back as the first clinton presidency. Meaning she trumps his spring release by about 10 years.

All of this is hiding a more fundamental problem.
How it is more possible than ever for a corrupt media to control our political process by cheerleading for a candidate.
Obama seems to have a black belt in stretching and hiding the truth.

To quote the Nazi propogandist Joseph Goebbels:

“The most brilliant propagandist technique will yield no success unless one fundamental principle is borne in mind constantly – it must confine itself to a few points and repeat them over and over"

When Hillary attacked Obama saying words are cheap …maybe he wants speeches instead of debate…CNN did not label that as far more critical. What is going on???

Yeah, and he is the positive one out there! Shame on you Obama…

i'm getting so sick of the Clinton family. Anything for power, eh…

It's just annoying they have so many people fooled.

so this is a jab and not negative campaigning? and so the delusional obamabots will chime in………the double standard is unbelievable.

Barack will say anything to get elected. He is not much different from Hillary, only more naive and childish.

I KNOW YOU LOVE TO PRINT THE NEGATIVES ESPECIALLY IF IT IS FROM OBAMA AGAINST HILLARY. POOR OBAMA HE CAN'T DO IT HONESTLY . I THINK I WILL CRY.

GO HILLARY 2008

The Just words section of his speech really put Hillary to shame. I think if anyone watched they would have seen the presidential-like leadership skills he has. I think he did a very good job at mixing his stump with the policies he has been criticized about lacking. GREAT SPEECH!

This guy sure is upset to stray off a campaign speech this close to critical primaries. Clinton must have hit a nerve. Voters beware of Obama, the promise of change with NO plan!!!!

Keep hitting her where it counts, in her big fat gut and big mouth. Make it count, this witch Hitlery is trying to punish big corporations, tax them to nothing, no growth in employment, make this country suffer more than what Bush has done to this country.

Vote for Obama and save this country from the troll Clinton's. Enough is enough already, cahnge this country from these to idiots.

Obama!

I think that clintin should concentrate on winning delegates and not on attacking Obama. Every time she does that she looses voter cos Obama comes back with a stronger answer than Hillary would have hoped for.

It's time he went on the offensive and out the Clintons for who they really are, Billary would say and do anything and I mean "anything" to get elected. She did not give a rats behind about those who voted for her in those 8 states she lost, couldn't even thank her volunteers in those states!!!

Barack Obama has my vote.
Words do matter, such as "By the people, for the people, of the people."

Obama's solutions are pretty much the same as Clintons. The difference is that Obama inspires millions more people to get involved in politics while Clinton campaigns on a return to partisan hackery of the 90's that turns people off. There IS a 'vast right wing conspiracy' that hates the Clintons, as they reminded us so often. Obama broke records in Viriginia for turnout, and the prior VA election broke every previous record by 40% (George 'Macaca' Allen). Hilary will turn out the GOP, Obama will turn out the majority it takes to win decisively.

Tell em like it is Barack. Join the Movement!!!! Obama' 08

I'm tired of hearing nothing substantial from Obama's camp. It is time he realizes that Hillary is going to destroy him in Texas and the momemtum that creates will end this once and for all.

Sucks to be you Obama!

Hillary is the best candidate. Her experience, poise, and dignity that she has showed on the very bias press toward Obama demonstrate that she has what it takes to be president on the most difficult times on history. Obama is a smooth talker. He makes a great salesman, but he is to coocky and arrogant to be president

It is about time Obama starts calling these career politicians on their self serving policies. (providing his facts are correct) "We the people" are very tired of "business as usual."

Hillary has experience but NO JUDGEMENT !!! ( NONE) !!!!!!
Look at how she has run her campaign…. she values loyalty OVER Competence!
Obama/Edwards 08 Si Se Puede

Sen Obama did great. words do matter. He's inspiring not only the country but the whole world. Everybody is so excited for him. He will be a wonderful president.
we love Obama.

Media- what jab are you talking about?????? What was the reason for this write up?????

Obama makes me want to throw up. I'm so tired of his "canned" speeches…he really needs to CHANGE it up. One of these days I HOPE the American people will see through this unknowledgeable "man of the moment".

Obama goes negative again!!! Obama please mention something about your platform beside change and hope, we want substance not just beautiful speeches!!

GO OBAMA GO!!!!!!

Please somone report that Senator Clinton need only last long enough to deliver the primary into the hands of Alexis Herman, chair of the credentials committee (Clinton Administration loyalist). That committee will most certainly seat the Michigan and Florida delegates thus circumventing the rules and putting Hillary over the top in delegate count.

Politics of hope and change? Sounds like the same old politics as usual.

I'm not a union employee now, but I was, and I will support Obama

I thought Obama looked tired. His energy level was way less than usual. I am disappointed, though not surprised, that CNN does not quote Clinton's remarks–she made a very good, detailed speech. I watched live on C-Span and noticed that Clinton received more applause during her remarks than Obama did. There were also many people who stayed seated when a few in the front stood for the usual applause lines uttered by Obama. I hope Wisconsins will reject the media push for Obama, do the right thing, and vote for Clinton!!

Being honest with the american people is a great characteristic that Barack Obama posses. I am very well pleased with Barack Obama comments in this post, calling Hillary out for the flop-flopper that she is.

Hope for a Change, Barack Obama 08!

The news people are calling Michelle beautiful? Tara Banks is beautiful. Michelle looks like Condi Rice and is anything but beautiful. Where are they getting this? Michelle is a little less than average, I guess beauty is in the eye of the beholder. This like the Outer Limits, nernernerner. This election is surreal.

Barack Obama said it well…no need for a comment!

May I add that the American people must vote, donate, and participate….Obama 08!

Hillary and Obama are in for a fight. A fight that's includes the Democratic party.

Go Hillary 08. I believe in action not in words. "Action speaks louder than words". You are the Hope and you are the Solution for America!!

great speech obama, I m an idependent and he as my vote now!

Earth to Hillary, Where are your Tax Returns!!

We want those Tax Returns!

Clinton is part of the problem because she's part of the "old school." Obama is the change we need. Hillary is just another Clinton.

Say NO to dynastic presidents and vote for CHANGE.

I watched both speak and I'm plain tired of the Billery slam on Bush. Show some respect or admit you buy into the divisive pokitcs that got us here and keep us here. She is the tired old actress with 3 and 4 people at a time trying to add enough makeup to pretty her up before these speaches. Pimping her daughter out and trying to have it both ways with the poor me nonsense.
Then Obama speaks. He is right you know. if you can't get people to follow whats the point? A bit like TR that way. He had and kept the people and brought forth the progressive movement.
So same old creepy politics with Billery? Same old same old with McCain or roll the dice? This old repulican is for rolling the dice.
On a last note to Billery.. If you had any heart beliving what you say you would not take, or better give back, all the special interest money you feed on.

I'm glad to see Obama finally getting fed up with the Clintons' attacks and fighting back. The guy's got spunk as well as idealism. From the beginning, the Clintons mistook him for a lightweight, but he's one tough cookie. It's quite a sight seeing him beat them up, down, and sideways.

Oh What about his Politics as usual comments, I guess they don't apply to him! The best candidate for the job is Hillary Clinton

It's really easy to stand up and attack someone when they are not in a position to immediately respond. It take a lot more courage to debate someone one on one (that is, with just two candidates on the stage, unlike 17 of the previous 18 debates).

Do you really want your President to be from the Political Party that did not think through its decissions and their reprocussions as regards the states that moved up their primaries and caucases? If they can not organize their own nomination process effectively or think through their decissions then how can you expect them to make good decissions for your country. Is this the type of democracy that you want the world to see, that you are trying to get other countries to sign on to for themselves. The DNC should get off their buts and either schedule new primaries or caucases in these states or get everyone on side that the rules are the rules and put an end to this scandal because this sure is a scandal for the Democratic Party.

its sad how obama has turned so many in the democratic party against the clintons, the people who've done more for it than anyone in decades.

wake up people.

That's right Obama. Tell them.

We watched Billary's and Obama's speeches – what a difference!

It was absolutely apparent that Billary is just a poll driven politicians who won't be able to change a thing in Washington … if she would ever be elected (Not by our family! We will rather vote Republican the first time).

Obama is a once-in-a-generation leader and this is our time.

I am sooooo tired of Billaries lies, half-truths and deliberate distortions.

How can Mr, Obama support something for years, when he has only held office for two?
This guy has not done anything for his state, nothing for you and I and has never even owned a business.
He is simply not ready to get us out of debt, end a war and lead us as a people.
He is a great speaker though!!! I have listened to the excat same speech for a year (note above where the author says he "added a line")… Be a fantastic preacher but not ready for the most powerful job on Earth.

While words may inspire, they certainly do not get anything done within the legislative bureaucracy. At the end of the day, you have to know how to navigate the legislative process, bring both sides of the aisle together, and make things happen. Senator Obama is sorely lacking in that arena given his inexperience at the federal level; Senator Clinton has proven she can do that for that last 7 years for the people of New York and that is why she will have my vote.

If people really want change in America, then Obama is the person best suited in that regard. Hilliary energizes the republicans because of divisive politics and John Macain is just another Bush!

Obamas speech was full of half truths and he seemed very angry. He's a good speaker, but he is not above being a "politician" as he claims – he is a politican just like all the others. Just look at his record. The difference is, he won't admit it.

Listen Up!! Looks like a new flip-flopper has surfaced — the one who only one day earlier accused Hillary Clinton of attacks, calling attacks on him "THE SAME OLD POLITICS." Is the the "CHANGE" Barack Obama has promised to make? If so — YAWN!!!

Looks like Obama has been changing what hes saying around a little.. I'm glad CNN is FINALLY talking about it.. Obama, get you're act together.

This guy would destroy Mcain in November. He can take someone down with such eloquence.

My vote is for Barack! …If Barack is not in the general for any reason… I'm voting for McCain. Hillary is a big turn off!

I'm glad he drew these contrasts. Clinton is too negative. She's simply turn to tearing down Obama to make herself more likable. What happened to Hillary??

I believe its time Obama confronts Hillary on her flip flops throughout the years. I also hate how Hillary bring everything back to her husband. Who's running here???Bill or Hillary???

Glad to see Obama is back to politicas as usual. We all knew hope wouldn't last forever

Hello Everyone!

I’m writing here from PORTUGAL.
I just want to say that you best candidate is Hillary. She is intelligent, accurate, she’s got lots of experience than Obama.

Obama is a great politician, and his speeches are very good, BUT THEY ARE EMPTY. Can you see any relevant idea for your country in his speeches? I don´t think so!!!

The best you have to do is to VOTE for Hillary Clinton!
Whit Obama in vice for 8 years, he can learn lost’s os experience, and he will be a winning candidate for 2016 and 2020

This is the best way to put the Democrats 16 years in the White House.

Hillary/Obama08

Of the two Democrat candidates, one is naive, all words (Barack), the other one is cynical, all greed (Hillary) . Either one is a calamity to this country, if elected President.

Barack ' The Blessing' Obama is the only candidate who does not have any complex about who he is and where he could take this great country to. He has inspired me, an independent, that he has the trust of the people to put our country back on track. Out of all the candidates he is the one with much cleaner record. Support Obama and let's regain our honor in the world. Let's give ourselves and the world some hope that we are great and are capable of making this world a safer place. Let's give hope not bombs.

i think he is so right that she backed nafta and why she did . he is so inspireing go obama you have my vote

Obama sorry I don't believe in your dream for you as the appointed one. I believe all men and women are created equal, this is the time for women to stand up and be counted. This is not about race and it could be about sexist. Black men were given the right to vote in this country way before women. Women have come a long way.

I think one day you might make a difference, but no today. Hillary is so much more experience and her health care is for all americans. That is fair and equal, so please don't talk about equal especially since you can't perform when it comes time to stand up. After all, you records seems to declare you never ready to say Yes or No when you stand before Congress when the vote really matters.

You are living in a dream world, lets get real and live in the real world.

Desperation time for Obama. He can only say the word, "change" so many times before it is reduced to emptiness. Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me. And, he is afraid to debate Hillary because he lacks specifics, experience, and any record of accomplishment. So, what is left but to go negative against both Hillary and John McCain. I am a white male democrat, for now, and I see utter nonsense in this strategy.

Words DO matter.
Obama '08

I guess Obama can take the heat.

I've noticed no one in the press has mentioned what a cake walk (until this week) Clinton has had. Obama has not gone negative, though he has been critical.

Although, going negative is her only hope, I can't help but feel it is back firing for her. It has made it easier for him to attack her without looking bad. So she get the negative press for going negative, but he looks justified for defending himself.

The best offense is a good defense.

With each week he looks more presidential, but she looks like an outdated politician.

Lets not forget the Newt and his contract to destroy the American dream.A Republican Congress pushed to send the American working man and woman into slave labor wages and sell everything but the kitchen sink to the highest bidder.Lets not forget to clean the out house we now call the Congress.

Barack – Thank you for pointing out the self-centeredness and hypocrisy of Hillary and her campaign. I love your message. This will be my first Ohio primary where I will vote Democratic and it will be for you. A vote for you is one less for Hillary.

It is so sad to see a potential candidate to president to use a discourse of discredit towards experience, as if people don't go through life studying, working hard to achieve their goals. If it was only for hope to change instead of action, whatever it takes (and that means to make mistakes, but at least you took a stand), we would not be the country we are.

Don't behave like a 3rd world country leader that discredits his ancestors and predecessors to earn the vote of the non-experienced!

With Florida and Michigan you wouldn't be where you are. This is so unfair. I feel counted out…

WE have to stop the clinton/bush royalty to make any changes in this country. George Washington did not want to be king and it is time we carried out HIS INTENT for the presidency.

Senator Clinton's speech last night was impressive, and was more well received by the audience than Obama's whose lithany of "when I am president of the United States" , (more than TWENTY TIMES) sounded like a broken record. He needs to have another stump speech, I know it by heart now. The more I listen to it the more it reveals how empty it is.

i wonder why everyone has stayed tight lipped on the negative comments by Obama on Hillary.People should get over been carried away by Obama's Rhetoric.Let us face reality here this is the greatest nation in the world and in this time that America is literally going down the drain,she needs someone with the experience to handle the crises as they unfold.The country do not need a learn on the job person.Think beyond hatred for the Clintons and bet this country to a better shape.

its becoming clear from the blogs that a huge number of obama supporters are excitable simple sheep, who are more swayed by the celebrity factor than by knowledge.

here we go, electing another president who knows jack all.

go hillary.

Obama is full of a lot of hot air!!!

Bill Clinton prided himself in copying the Republican policies. He referred to it as, 'trianglization'. Now that policy has come to back to haunt Hillary, and it is now 'stranglization'. It is strangling her attempt to carry the unions . NAFTA is a bust for working people and it only benefits the fat cats who Bill hob nobs with today.

Obama makes me sick.

He's right to speak up lest he be swiftboated like John Kerry. With Bill Clinton , Hillary, and McCain aiming at him at the same time, it's time he bring out his well known supporters. The triple teaming seems a little unfair. Dirty politics at its best.

John McCain should at least wait unti the primaries are over.

….It looks as if clinton and Mccain can't create their own slogans. Everybody is copying from Obama. Last week it was Mccain saying " Am fired up and ready to go" and this week it 's clinton saying " yes we will". Why can't these candidates be creative at all, am not surprised because all the candidates both republican and democrats candidates all started talking about change which is Obama's slogan. " Please Obama don't bring anymore slogans"

!!!!!!!!!! OBAMA 08!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Fired Up Ready to Go.

Welcome to Texas, Obama!

Hillary brought the gloves while Obama used the often forgotten about jab with a couple of upper cuts to her and McCain.

As Obama points out, Clinton has been perpetuating lies about Barack Obama. I am glad that he decided to strike back agains Clinton's slanders. Clinton says that Barack only uses words, but look at her record. She doesn't act until she is forced to by political opinion. The only things that she ever DOES anything on are her pet projects. Basically, her policy is "Do whatever it takes to get elected" whereas Barack's policy is "Do whatever is best for the American People." Is this not an obvious choice for president?

obama refuses to debate because hillary is the stronger candidate and it is evident during the debates, as is his lack of experience and knowledge. his speeches sound more like sermons. the people of america are obviously looking for a cult leader as opposed to a president who has the ability to get things done.

Great speech last night from Obama. It's sad a lot of Hillary supports won't see it, because it offered some of the greatest details of Obama's plans, while at the same time, countered many of her fallacious arguments.

Keep the left and right jabs coming. And let's hope this thing doesn't get drawn out until the convention.

how exactly is obama going to single handedly end partisanship? i havent seen the republicans asking for a truce.

the clintons had to fight for what was right, and they get the reputation of being 'partisan' along with all its silly new connotations.

ridiculous,

Good, take it to her. She can't expect to attack you and not be attacked back.

Although, I am sure the Clintonistas will claim he is being mean to a woman.

I am taking bets on the over/under. How many times does Hillary cry, prior to "suspending" her campaign?

Right now it's 4.

And keep on going after her for NAFTA. I am sure she will say that was her husband and not her. But isn't that the main part of your 35 years of experience?

Here's an important distinction between the attacks of the 2 democratic candidates: Hillary most recent attacks, thus far have been on Obama's campaign conduct (e.g., not wanting to debate), whereas Obama is attacking Hillary on her approach to the issues. Attacks on the issues are fair game; attacks on how one campaigns, akin to personal attacks, are just red herrings.

Hil should go back to her "I'm more experienced" line. It's b.s., but at least it raises a substantive distinction between her and Obama.

And just watch the HRC supporters come in crying "CNN is so biased. Why isn't this considered a negative attack on HRC?"

The answer is simple: Barack Obama has never attacked HRC's character or how she chooses to speak. He attacks her voting histoiry, flaws in her plans, and sticks to the issues.

Hillary attacks his manner of speaking, sends her husband out to say that Barack Obama is like Jesse Jackson (who could never win over the hearts of black Americans, talk less of the American people), attacks him about being like Martin Luther King while she is more like a president (that was a gem), and attacks him about how little "experience" he has even though his public service and political experience far out weighs hers.

I only hope that the Americans in Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, Texas, Puerto Rico, Ohio, and every where else can see the clear difference between these 2 democrats and vote for Barack Obama to be our nominee

This is not an attack. this is a fact. Attack means something is not true and you are saying it is true. Obama never supported Iraq war but clinton said he suported . That is an attack. this is a fact. Sen. Clinton praised NAFTA but now her tone is changing. I think For Clinton News Network, it became an attack. this CNN will be out of this business after TX and Ohio election. Do CNN guys know that Obama is leading even in TX in a recent poll?

he is pathetic…..
keep drinking the Kool-Aid all you Obama Zombies, keep it up and our country WILL pay for it!!!

The longer this campaign runs the more Senator Obama exposes the flip flop of Hillary Clintons Senate and First lady years. He clearly Has Hillary on the run. The superdelegates supporting her are now having second thoughts and these delegates are close to the Clintons. What a change from the early days of the campaigns.

dirty dirty dirty man

IT^S EASY TO CRITICIZE HILLARY CLINTON SINCE SHE DID TRY TO DO SOMETHING FOR THE PEOPLE:………….

BUT OBAMA NEVER DID ANYTHING FOR THE PEOPLE DON^T HAVE RIGHT TO CRITICIZE OTHERS.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

OBAMA IS A HYPOCRITE ………………

Wow, He came out swinging in that speech. Let's see what Clinton's next campaign slogan is after he destroyed the 'solutions' claim.

Come on Barack! If you hold Hillary accountable for what she does and what she says, she stands no chance.

It is a sign of true desperation to see the negative attacks against you on a personal level. The distortions of your record are less an issue becuase you have a forum to set the record straight.

Barack Obama '08!

Whoever's idea it was to have Senator Obama speak second is brilliant!

Well that was just extremely intelligent of Barack Obama and shows how he will continue to strategically defeat HRC.

(1) He was scheduled to speak AFTER her.
(2) She missed her opportunity to try and critique Barack Obama on what she sees as faults in his plans, and she missed it.
(3) He takes this as an opportunity in front of many Wisconsonites and the HRC campaign itself to point out specifically what his plans are and to shine a spotlight on all of the flaws in the HRC campaign

Well Played!!
OBAMA 2008

?

He knows his momentum is losing a little steam and he's again going for erroneous attacks. This man is all talk and no action. C'mon Barack, tell us why you gave oil companies $6 billion in subsidies on a bill deemed the summation of all possible lobbies? But, of course, you're a politician of change. Sounds like the same old Washington to me…

Give the people a little ounce of honesty and maybe you can build some credibility with those who can see through "wanna-be change" facade…

Some much for CHANGE – the brother is is just another politician. Obama is a myth!

Well at least he sticks to the issues when he "jabs" (great one-sided choice of words). I wonder when the American people are going to demand that Hillary Clinton, Bill Clinton and John McCain challenge BARACK OBAMA on his economic, health, and foreign policy plans instead of just using the recycled "he gives great speeches". They probably never will because his platform is rock solid

So if Clinton did this then it would be ATTACKS but If Obama does it then its JABS?

Come on CNN!!!!!

True colors are shining through. He is a jerk, Senator "Hope".
