Hillary Clinton had fun with members of the press on her plane Sunday night, commenting on her hairstyles over the years, the Saturday Night Live skits depicting her and Obama, and the fact her aide Huma Abedin often draws more attention than she does. (Photo credit: AP)

I am all the way for Hillary, but I Obama will have to wait and achieve even close to what Clinton has in oder for me to vote for him. I am not one of those pathetic voters or media who are blinded and obsessed with his empty promises and eloquence because I know for the fact that world is not as simple and perfect and he thinks it is, and he can eliminate all the evils just because he says so. Media has made him bigger than he is or ever will be.

He is gotten more attention than he deserves because he has basically not achieved anything as yet. Now his patriorism is being questioned because he won't wear american flag with his picture and won't put his hand over his heart while taking a pledge of alligiance. I simply question his candidacy, he should sit aside and do something for the country before dreaming of becoming commander-in-chief.

Obama, you are not there yet, quit and let Hillary do what she deserves to do.

Dylan   February 25th, 2008 3:45 pm ET

And how can you say she dosnt show emotion?

and to all of the people who support obama and attack clinton, thats just hypocritical! he wants to unite, not divide the two parties! and what are you doing!? dividing the democratic party! shame on you!

champ   February 25th, 2008 3:45 pm ET

You mean that HRC will do whatever it takes to win, who is the shame on?

Clayton St.louis, Missouri   February 25th, 2008 3:45 pm ET

Looks like the guy behind her is holding a beer bottle haha

purple   February 25th, 2008 3:44 pm ET

Hillary doesn't seem to be laughing all that much anymnore and Bill is sounding more and more like a hungover drunk. This campaign may send him into a ICU Hospital ward.

Blow ME   February 25th, 2008 3:44 pm ET

Joe: go get a release. You need one.

Grace   February 25th, 2008 3:44 pm ET

Not something appealing to see…………….

Dave   February 25th, 2008 3:44 pm ET

Hillary is wonderful. She is a down to earth person.
Thank you for sharing this with us CNN.

pal   February 25th, 2008 3:43 pm ET

I voted for obama but the clintons used to be cool,what happened?.its like they're showing their true colors.

Ryan M. - Seattle   February 25th, 2008 3:43 pm ET

Ah, it seems her campaign strategists have uploaded Laughter v1.0 into the Hillary mainframe! I hear they're still working on that Likability patch…

Lynn in St. Louis   February 25th, 2008 3:40 pm ET

Hillary is a real person unlike the Rock Star opponent she is facing.

Ronald, American living abroad   February 25th, 2008 3:40 pm ET

This isn't news! Is CNN trying to up HRC's numbers on their politics site by running all these pointless stories about her? CNN has run more stories with Clinton tags than they have Obama tags and all the HRC folks can yell is that the media have made Obama. What a farce.

PJ   February 25th, 2008 3:40 pm ET

Carrie,

There's always press on her jet, same as with every other candidate. Try doing some research before trying to sound funny.

Tim   February 25th, 2008 3:40 pm ET

Great article. This is why the traditional media gets attacked for bias. The issue with Hillary is the lack of authenticity that continues to plague her campaign. Nothing she does is perceived as sincere. Every comment, event, outfit appears to be a well researched tactic. The reason she lacks authenticity with the public is because she can't ever stake out a position. You have to have identified at least one option you are willing to consider to save social security if you are going to be ready to lead on the first day. I can't decide on a baseball team. Yes, its a trivial question; however, her response spoke volumes. Why can't the pundits have that conversation?

Gavin   February 25th, 2008 3:39 pm ET

YO HILLARY

WE ARE WITH YOU SISTA !!!!

You got all of our votes on March 4 - half of my family already voted early!

HRC BABY !!!!!!!

Terry   February 25th, 2008 3:38 pm ET

The Clinton Campaign is a Sleaze Factory…..

milka   February 25th, 2008 3:37 pm ET

1. She's a follower more than a leader. (Is that a characteristic we want in our presidenct?)
2. She still can't give a credible reason why she gave W the authority to go to war. (Hmmm….see #1. Or worse yet, she can be fooled by the most simple man.)
3. She still can't give a credible reason why she voted against the Levin amendment.
4. How her votes have more to do with hedging her political bets than with principle. (No surprises here.)
5. Why she can't explain why it took 2 years of the war going south before she started speaking up against it.
6. Why she waited for Edwards and Obama to reveal their health care plan before releasing hers (Now, THAT….shows confidence! Ha!).
7. How her campaign works relentlessly to shut down legitimate journalistic vetting of her record.
8. How she has been labeled as a 'practitioner of systematic caution with 'no big ideas'. (We don't know about this article telling us why because (drum roll please)….the Clinton camp killed the story.)
That's okay, sometimes these things take time. A strategist knows you have to know precisely when to drop the bomb…..
Are you sure you're voting for Hillary, or are you voting for Bubba? I'm sorry to break it to you, but Obama is much more intelligent than Bill.

A New Picture   February 25th, 2008 3:37 pm ET

Oh, why did you take down the other puppet picture of her?

lesle   February 25th, 2008 3:36 pm ET

We all know haughty Hillary is a phony—-but she thinks she is fooling us.

Someone should tell her that a stranger can talk to you for 5 minutes and know you better than you know yourself.

Guess the cackle is on you Miss HILLARity!!

Patty   February 25th, 2008 3:36 pm ET

You guys still maintain the fraudulent myth of The Evil Karl Rove. That's hilarious at this point. What they are doing is pulling a Clinton. They coined the "Politics of Personal Destruction" approach to politics. It has always been their way. Karl Rove is James Carville in men's clothes. Get over your misplaces self-righteousness. The emperor's new clothes don't please you? Welcome to the bigs.

Karl

leon   February 25th, 2008 3:35 pm ET

LAUGHING ALL THE WAY TO THE KITCHEN
The fear among her staff,
Which fears she will not stop,
Is that she's headed for
Snip, cackle, flop.

sk   February 25th, 2008 3:34 pm ET

Joe, why so nasty? Are you obsessed with your hatred of her?
Whether you support her or Obama or even McCain they all deserve your respect, because they have subjected themselves to months of ridicule just for the honor of running this great country that we all live in. Obviously it is not for the money, she as well as the rest I am sure have already spent much more than they will recieve as salary. They both obviously want what is best for the people in the USA, give them a break.

Frank   February 25th, 2008 3:34 pm ET

It doesn't matter!

harry   February 25th, 2008 3:33 pm ET

I thought I would vote for her but I don't see why an experienced candidate would continue to stage all this and the other stuff that went on over that weekend. Why should I vote for good when I have better?

john   February 25th, 2008 3:32 pm ET

wow, I am getting confused everyday. What side am I supposed to go with?

cs   February 25th, 2008 3:31 pm ET

Scary…Hillary reminds me of people my dad used to call dragonladies…he used to say, "watch out for them, they'll turn on you in a heartbeat, chew you up, & spit you out".

joe   February 25th, 2008 3:31 pm ET

Seems I am missing something, and after they laughed?

carol   February 25th, 2008 3:30 pm ET

Hillary hang in there ,we hava a lot of States left. The S. just starting to come out on him, and quit being so flippin nice, GO AFTER HIM just like he has done and don't pay any attention to supposed to be Journalist, If they are flippin Journalist Im an AIR PLANE. I loved it yesterday when she says the sky is going to open etc., if that was Obama supporters they would believe it. HA HA Bill did not win until June hang in there we have a lot of closed primaries coming up and he doesn't do well not unless the are open to all the Republiacns coming out to vote against you, so they vote for him and they think he is doing so great, we will see how stupid they look, and to think all those people are voting for him. Those Republicans would never vote for him in the general who are they kidding.

becky   February 25th, 2008 3:29 pm ET

HILLARY I'M GLAD TO SEE YOU LAUGH ,EVEN IF IT IS WITH THE PRESS ,THEY HAVE NOT BEEN REAL KIND TO YOU OR YOUR CAMPAIN,DON'T LET THEM RUN YOU OUT OF THE RACE [YOUR GOING TO WIN]KEEP THE FAITH ,THE PRESS HAS BEEN YOUR WORST FRIEND,YOU CAN SEE THE FEAR ON THEIR FACES ,LAWSUITEEEEEEE,AREN'T THEY THE ONES WHO SAY FREEDOM OF SPEECH,CAT GOT THEIR TOUNGES !

Charlotte   February 25th, 2008 3:29 pm ET

Hillary is the one we need now! We can't give this election away to the GOP again. Obama will be torn to shreds by the Republican party. He can't take any heat. I'm melting, I'm melting, I would quit now if I were Obama. What a joke he is, the little insurgent.

Peggy   February 25th, 2008 3:28 pm ET

Hey Joe, really thoughtful, insightful comment. Are you from Texas?

Abby   February 25th, 2008 3:21 pm ET

Hurray! We love it when Hilary shows her lighter side. She is so human just like all of us.
HILLARY IS HIGHLY LIKABLE
YOU GO GIRL!

Carrie   February 25th, 2008 3:20 pm ET

This is so staged & phony, it is a joke! Hillary must miss her private jet, now she has to mingle with the little people.

joli   February 25th, 2008 3:19 pm ET

Yeah she'll lose the nomination … Obama will lose the election and you all can cry together….lol

Michael James   February 25th, 2008 3:18 pm ET

Because the media has fallen under the Obama "cult" spell, Clinton has taken a real beating in the press. I was shocked on Sunday when Clinton was not part of most of competition conversatioin. They have already decided it is Obama/McCain, although she is only 69 delegates behind and is even with Obama in the National polls. This mus be frustrating for Clinton, so it is nice to hear the wonderful heartly laugh.

As she says, she will be okay no matter what happens. She has already placed women way ahead in the consideration for President. I ask those that are on the line, if Clinton does not win the nomination, what other woman will reach this level in the next 12 years.

matt   February 25th, 2008 3:17 pm ET

Time for Hillary to step down, and support the united democratic party. She's trying to do anything just to win the votes. She supported for NAFTA in her book, and now says NAFTA is bad for America, she's saying this only because she's running for president. Also, her health care plan is a mandate, where she will go after your wages even if u can't afford it, she even said that in one of the debates. For those of us who are honest with ourselves (doesn't matter if u're a democrat/republican or independent, and doesn't matter if u're white, black, latino or asian), you know that she's been trying all the negative & dirty political tactics against Obama, just to win the votes, and she lost 11 continuously now. Even now she's continuing to degrade Obama. I am ashamed to be a former Hillary supporter. I am supporting Obama now, many of my friends, we all were supporting Hillary, but now that we see her true attitudes, we are changing our minds. We are from Ohio, and Ohio is for Obama. For people that still support Hillary, please think about it again, do u want a president that is willing to go after someone go negatively just to win your votes ? or do u want someone who really wants us all to be united & fight the common problems we are facing as Americans. Please think, don't just vote for her, because u support her, please carefully think before u vote. She in the debate almost cried, and said it was honor to be with Obama, and immediately two days after that she's going negative on Obama again. PLease support Obama. Lets come together, as united Americans, and vote for Obama. Thanks, CNN please post my comments. u never post my comments. I want to reach out to the people with my comments. Post my comments, post my comments CNN. Vote for Obama. March 4, 2008 for Obama . Texas, Ohio for Obama

Vincent   February 25th, 2008 3:17 pm ET

this is so funny. hhahahahah she is AWESOME! and i have to say pretty hot in that sweatshirt!

sunny g   February 25th, 2008 3:15 pm ET

lol… Billary will have plenty to laugh over as they soon enter the home for all retirees. Good riddance to these 2 over-blown, over-exonerated, over-appreciated, over-sympathized, over-stayed members of the DNC. Fresh blood and ideas are needed to move this country forward in the 21st century.

Joe Ossai, Bedford, NH   February 25th, 2008 3:15 pm ET

Lady please drop out and give us a chance to go after McCain the lobby champion of hypocrisy.

Shelley F P   February 25th, 2008 3:15 pm ET

Totally Agree - and VERY Disappointed on how the Press has treated Sen. Clinton vs. Sen Obama. Chris Mathews is at the top and off my list of must watch programs. Matthews always refers to Sen Clinton as 'Hillary', as many do, and always referes to BO as Sen Obama. SHAME ON YOU Press Corps!!!!

Thank you Cnn   February 25th, 2008 3:15 pm ET

Why would you ask people to leave a comment if you're not going to post them (Unless you're part of the Obama-cult?) Is this right..I don't think so.

I'll save you the job "Your comment is awaiting moderation"

Illinois Democrat   February 25th, 2008 3:15 pm ET

Looking at this photo of Hillary on her campaign plane, I cannot tell which one of her two faces she's showing us today?

Shelley F P   February 25th, 2008 3:14 pm ET

GO Girl — Hillary all the way. So many people I speak with find it rediculously hard to believe that people are not REALLy listening and voting for B.O. Take the time to REALLY LISTEN voters. If you continue voting for BO you are making one of the greatest mistakes of your lives!!!! Well Read, Independent Voter!!!!

IO   February 25th, 2008 3:13 pm ET

This is JUST ANOTHER example of the press favoring Barack Obama and TRYING to undermine Hillary Clinton's campaign. While Obama is only up by 78 delegates the press is insisting that he is the clear winner. Hopefully when she is elected she will put new regulations that will force the disgraceful privatized media to report facts and not entertainment.

HILLARY '08!!

Sam Taveras   February 25th, 2008 3:07 pm ET

Shrillary Clinton = Tool

Richard   February 25th, 2008 3:06 pm ET

You are the most qualified person out there Hillary. At least you are not all talk. There are some out there that are good talkers, they would make good Dicators or Cult leaders. Go Hillary 2008!
I would love to see arrogant Obama fall off his thrown.

An Agnostic Democrat   February 25th, 2008 3:05 pm ET

Laugh clown, laugh! Your mutiple personalities on display throughout this campaign have given me the creeps! What mask will you wear to the debate tomorrow night?

Paul Naranjo   February 25th, 2008 3:04 pm ET

Hillary - The First Female President of the UNITED States of America!
Hillary- la Primera Mujer Presidente de los Estados Unidos de America

The so called Obama "momentum" is over

Hillary we are with you all the way!
Hillary claro que estamos contigo !
WE LOVE YOU HILLARY AND YOU'LL BE OUR PRESIDENT

Marlene Snyder   February 25th, 2008 3:02 pm ET

Good to see!! Keep up the good work, we are cheering you on here in Pa….Hill Country!

Texasboo   February 25th, 2008 3:02 pm ET

Sybillary is going down and it's like a sinking ship.

Bob M.   February 25th, 2008 3:00 pm ET

VOTE OBAMA 08!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!, Her voice seems to be coming back, and she is showing her true self, nasty and mean, is that the kind of president people want, not me. She only does things because they are political, and thinks they are to her advantage, but people can see the True Clinton, and see her as she truly is.

bond   February 25th, 2008 3:00 pm ET

Its funny that you haven't conceded yet Billary…

Chris   February 25th, 2008 2:53 pm ET

I like her. I really like her.

I trust her. I really trust her.

WE NEED HER. We really need her.

Hillary Clinton '08

Ryan M. - Seattle   February 25th, 2008 2:52 pm ET

Ah, it seems her campaign strategists have uploaded Laughter v1.0 into the Hillary mainframe! I hear they're still working on that Likability patch…

Brenda, NC   February 25th, 2008 2:51 pm ET

Hillary has my vote.

Elias   February 25th, 2008 2:51 pm ET

Hillary is an ugly woman! Nader is an ugly man! McCain is a very ugly man!
Obama / Edwards… now that would be a very handsome ticket!

Rebecca - Fresno, CA   February 25th, 2008 2:50 pm ET

Hillary…..
It is aparent to me that you need the country much more than we need you. Your recent campign tactics are deplorable and paint you as the "politics as usual" candidate that you truly are. Change is indeed needed in our country and you are no more qualified by virtue of your touted "experience" than is your opponent. All you have left then, to set yourself apart, is your integrity and your ability to connect with the public you say you want to serve……… and on both of those counts you lose miserably. As a woman that has struggled to raise a family, become educated and give back to thouse who have supported me along the way, I am ashamed of the image that you are portraying to my daughters…. "winning at all costs." Please be a woman of integrity and do not, in a desperate attempt to win votes, divide our party.

Thank you Cnn   February 25th, 2008 2:50 pm ET

That's my President.

Thank you CNN for finally doing something right.

Keep up the good work Hillary-we love you.

Kimberly in Texas   February 25th, 2008 2:49 pm ET

I hope Hillary goes down in flames…that SHE loses ALL 4 states on March 4th by double digits!!!

Dave   February 25th, 2008 2:49 pm ET

If I were like a Hillary supporter right now, I'd say WAAAAAAAAAAH CNN is so biased against Obama, look at this positive story about Hillary, it's not even news, WAAAAH they love her so much, blah blah blah

Taheera   February 25th, 2008 2:48 pm ET

Who Cares. Another way to try to win the people back. Go Barack!

Ray - NJ   February 25th, 2008 2:47 pm ET

Go Hillary!!!

B!tches Get Things Done!!!!!

Joe   February 25th, 2008 2:43 pm ET

Laugh it up clown! You'll have plenty of time after you lose the election!

Jeff   February 25th, 2008 2:43 pm ET

I can't wait to be in Washington D.C. on January 20, 2009 to watch you make history. Talk about a laugh.. you should have seen a grown man, 6′2″, 200 lbs with tears running down his face as I turned in my ballot that voted for you in my Illinois primary.

stefanie   February 25th, 2008 2:42 pm ET

We love you, Hillary.

Madame President Hillary Clinton…oh, love the sound of that!

GO HILLARY '08!!!

DC   February 25th, 2008 2:39 pm ET

Not news.

Chris   February 25th, 2008 2:36 pm ET

You are awsome Hillary!!! Keep up the hard work. I voted for you and I can't wait to see your New York Giants play come March 4th!

Hillary Clinton '08

english observer   February 25th, 2008 2:28 pm ET

With all this talk of change I want to know is any candidate on either party running on the basis that everything is good so lets not change anything.

Every politician that runs a campaign is based on change, so its all about the specifics. I have heard Hillary's for a long time, and I am in favour of the majority of them. I haven't really heard Obama's, so how is his change going to work?

jwilliams   February 25th, 2008 2:28 pm ET

Hillary for President !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Janine   February 25th, 2008 2:28 pm ET

Hillary please don't let these awful people get you crazy. Just ignore them and continue with your detailed positive messages. And do not let the opposition get away with any falsehoods. It is amazing that there are so many people that are so snowed by this Obama that it scares me. I can't even watch him.

Carole   February 25th, 2008 2:28 pm ET

Go Hillary - do what you do best - LEAD. You are a natural leader with all the qualities that are needed to be President of the United States of America.

I think your song should be the wonderful but never outdated:

"God Bless America" - It suits you perfectly!!

frank   February 25th, 2008 2:27 pm ET

We love you hillary!

rb   February 25th, 2008 2:26 pm ET

Hillary, you got to win We need you!

Rich in Seattle   February 25th, 2008 2:26 pm ET

She's happy, sad, angry, happy, sad, angry…. So is she bi-polar or something?

honesty   February 25th, 2008 2:25 pm ET

Where there is strenght, there is substance, there is trayectory, there is a record. She is the real deal. I hope all the Obamatrons come to realize it after they come out of their trance. Hope is not too late.
TX, OH, VMt, PA, RI….please vote for substance.

Sandra   February 25th, 2008 2:23 pm ET

I absolutely love it! Go Hillary!!!!!!!!!

James Smith   February 25th, 2008 2:23 pm ET

Love her! Keep smiling!

Illinois   February 25th, 2008 2:22 pm ET

You do so well when you let the public get to know you on a personal level. Forget what the media says about you. They don't know you and they are only interested in seeing Obama succeed, for their own obvious reasons. Let the voters get to know you on a more personal level and you will do just fine.

Ron, TX   February 25th, 2008 2:21 pm ET

Wasn't it the Clinton camp that accused Obama of using the picture of Obama in traditional somali attire as a "distraction" from the issues?

But the Clinton camp joking it up with the press, that's not a distraction from the issues? How bout you spend that time telling America why you won't release your tax returns, Hillary?

California Independent   February 25th, 2008 2:21 pm ET

Before the Obama followers get here….. let me summarize:

How dare she smile. I have never, in my life, seen anyone stoop this low. This is just appalling. What is she doing smiling. She has no right to smile. She should be ashamed. There are people laughing with her AGAIN. How stupid are these people. If they would only listen to ME, they would understand how much everyone hates, hates, hates her. She is evil….. Ah yep, that just about wraps it up. sigh.

pj   February 25th, 2008 2:20 pm ET

bill and hillary have always tried to use the press when they need them, then shun them when they feel the dont need them. everything they do is calculated.

MS Gal   February 25th, 2008 2:19 pm ET

Blah, blah, blah…what a fake! She is so "not what I see as a leader". No sincerity; only whatever it takes to get what she wants. Her smirks, funny gestures—show who she really is….to me, she is NOT genuine….I know the difference in a strong woman and a vindictive one…..her personal side shows so clearly through all the "so-called" warm words…she's so scripted, it's not funny. At least Obama comes "real"..he may not have been bullied around by all the Republicans, but at least he brings fresh insight and hasn't been poisoned by all the backbiting and political games. He's honest, sincere, you can sense it….say what you want, any time it's news when a candidate shows their human…something is wrong…….

Matt   February 25th, 2008 2:18 pm ET

The Clintons are consummate "good slavemasters".

Democrat   February 25th, 2008 2:18 pm ET

Hillary's got great character. She is such a good sport when it comes to poking fun at herself (her pantsuits, her hairstyles, fashion, her "cackle", her seriousness). I've never seen any candidate that's as human as her. She would make a great president - one America would be proud of.

Hillary '08

Cindy   February 25th, 2008 2:16 pm ET

Heh… the SNL skit was pretty lame… Mike Huckabee's performance was sooo much better.

I'm glad she can laugh at it, though. That shows the good side of her.

James   February 25th, 2008 2:15 pm ET

Great, now Hillary is getting her polls from SNL. Please end your failed candidacy while you have the option. Otherwise, the voters, the party, and the nation will make the decision for you.

Eric   February 25th, 2008 2:13 pm ET

WHY IS THIS NEWS? Has the Clinton camp finally whipped CNN into doglike submission with her phony "bias" claims?

And, where's her flag pin?

Donna   February 25th, 2008 2:12 pm ET

Stop Wearing Yellow

rebecca   February 25th, 2008 2:10 pm ET

LOVE YOU BILLARY……. KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK!
THE COUNTRY NEEDS YOU!!!!!

Bannon   February 25th, 2008 2:06 pm ET

Win Back the Press. DollyObama is just made by press and you need to win them back.
