If anyone had any reservations about his capabilities as Commander in Chief, it should have been dispelled in the wake of the Texas Debate. In that debate, Senator Obama answered concisely with an effective and viable approach to foreign policy and our military preparedness.

His preoccupation to keep us SAFE was absolute. He showed strength, fortitude, and resolve to delivering on this promise. While his opponents incessantly SEEK FABRICATE A FALSE SENSE OF INSECURITY about this Senator, his elucidation on just what plagues our military builds confidence in his leadership. The false characterization to the contrary, which presupposes out of thin air that he is an extreme "liberal" who is weak on such policy considerations belie Senator Obama's intelligence fully supported by General Casey this week. Gen. Casey affirmed that there is no reason to suppose what Obama stated as inaccurate.

I'm from the upstate NY that Tim Russert talked about. We havn't seen hide nor hair of Senator Clinton in a long while. I guess we are supposed to excuse her from her duties as Senator from NY but still pay her salary while she is out campaigning. By the way senator Clinton we have health care issues in NY, we have unemployment in NY, we have foreclosures in NY, we have plants shuting down and moving out.....yet I didn't see you campaigning or fundraising in our upstate area. I guess all the big money and fat cats are downstate.

PS : I won't vote for her in the next senatorial election either.

It's about time. Hillary has the skills to turn this around. If Hillary had been chair of that committee, the news media would have handled the answer differently. Instead the pundits are making excuses for him.

If she had taken excerpts of a speech from Bill and given it as her own ideas, we would still be seeing news clips.

The media has been bashing Hillary and women in general throughout this campaign.

If Obama can't take his committee responsibilities seriously and was too busy campaigning, while our troops in Afghanistan were in harm's way, what is he going to be like as President. He is too inexperienced and not fit to be president. Hillary is experienced, capable, and conscientious. She kept up with her Senate duties and that is probably why she is behind. Obama doesn't seem to care about our troops, just himself. Go Hillary 08! Why are people letting CNN and the media let everything slide off Obama?

YES WE CAN!!!

Like this will slow down his momentum. You definately wrong people. Obama all the way. YES WE CAN!!!

There's a great deal of "talk" about Hillary's experience in this discussion. The question has been raised – how can we be so fooled by Obama. Well I have a question- how can we be so fooled by Hillary? How is it that everyone is so quick to allow Hillary count the 8 years of experience afflated with her husban Bill? What did she do during those 8 years? Why is she holding up the release of papers documenting her work during those years? She's not transparent – I'm not convinced that she is the most experienced. Obama 08!

Hillary has done soo much while she has been a Senator. How many times has Barack Obama been to Iraq? Hillary has gone more than once. I am so glad people are finally seeing through Obama's words..Hillary has her record on helping all people.As First Lady she has been to India,China and Africa. As the Senator from N.Y she has done so much for the firefighters from 911,and the soldiers from Iraq...Hillary 08

lmao Unite the country? you libs cant even unite your own party.

If Hillary is going to run the Oval Office and the national economy the way she is running her campaign and its financial, we better be aware now and not vote for her. We may regret it later. Before is too late see what kind of poor manager she is.

Barack took time out of his busy schedule to vote 'nay' on the FISA bill that President Bush introduced. Hillary was one of only two senators who did not show up for the vote.

You decide.

According to Senate records Mr. Obama has been a very bad boy. He hasn't been all the honest.......oh whats new there.......... In all the committees that he is either chairman or a sitting member. Obama has not been involved as much as he is suppose to be for the past two years.......too busy on the campaign trail.

Did you see him today on TV in his so called hit back on McCain.....looking down and reading from the cards. The question I have is how does reading Q-cards make him the great speaker????

The great cheater actually...........style no substance.

HILLARY YOU ARE MY PRESIDENT!!!!!!!!

just goes to show hes all talk no action.

Obama is not alone in missing senate duties.
Our election period is way too long and it distracts the candidates from their regular duties. Although a longer period will give people like Obama opportunities to gain name recognition, one year may be sufficient for presidential election. What's your take?

HILLARY FOR PRESIDENT...GO HILLARY

Can not blame OBAMA..He is running for Precident from DAY 1.

This is just another example of why Obama's qualifications are, at best, vice-presidential. Why did he insist on running now? He should have supported Hillary in this election and run for himself in 8 years. That would have been unity in action. Hillary earned this one.

I can see it now, Obummer says he's sorry but was too busy running for POTUS to do anything about our National Security. Go Obummer.

If you think , clinton and Bush are too much and do not want clinton bis., than go for Mccain.
I will never give the keys of my nice car to any inexperienced driver..I still do not understand why people are so deaf and blind. What is really in Obama plan..Nothing except change.. We all want change but, to change , you have to know where you want to go and make some serious proposals. I personal do not see why I should go for OBAMA..if it is not only by emotion..Political issues are too serious to be consider with feelings..We need brightness for sure but also experience.

Attention any Obama supporters, I just want all you to remember March 4 if Mr Obama wins, then report back to this site in a year from him being elected with your comment on just how amazed at what Mr Obama has done. Mark my words you will not be impressed. But you may be wishing you would have paid a little more attention to what these canidates were really saying. Most comments will be how he has done nothing to help the American People.

Help us please!

Hillary get it on!

No Hillary, then No Obama, McCain 2008 ..at least we know where he stands
and what he's acccomplished. No comparison of the two men. One is
so much more ready for the presidency.

Didn't Hillary say she was too busy running for president to release her taxes even though Obama already has???? Didn't she move to New York to run for president??? Is SHE being honest with us????

Just I can't understand why we still spend our mony in Iraq and
for Israel. and we have an economy crisis (we need our mony)
candidates should talk openly how much we spend yearly on the war
in Iraq and how much we give to Israel yearly!!!

Now Hillary is trying to blame the media for her dismal campaign and trying to blame Bush for her refusal to release her White House records. She divides the Democratics and stresses out the country. Hillary runs her campaign exactly like Bush runs the government by hiring her cronies and blowing her donor money with with no long term plan or exit plan. Amazing similarity to Bush.

Go Hillary.......far away!!!!

Somebody please explain. Why isn't every comment posted? I just spent 5 minutes writing a neutral post and it's not here.

Hillary or whatever you call urself,focus on very important things that make a good president and bring back America's image not picking on issues that cant help you.Once you are sinking,you are.Now you know that you cannot control all Americans as you handle Bill.Time shall tell

Okay, it was a European subcommittee. How often did it meet? What can it really do? And does it matter at all? You need to ask these questions because you go off like he is leader of the equivalent of the House Ways and Means committee and hasn't shown up, so the entire government is shutting down. Government is loaded with subcommittees, some which hardly meet at all. Get a grip.

Oh, come on! The American people are NOT going to be duped again...Hillary and McCain are grasping at straws because Senator Obama is the real deal and they can't attack him with anything that isn't made up or a distortion of the truth.

OBAMA '08

what has hillary done? I'm pretty confident she's not doing much during the campaign season either. Welcome to politics. Empty claims. Hypocrisy. and all of your responses are equally naseauting.

Again, the question needs to be asked and CNN should answer, what was Hillary doing/neglecting while she's been on the campaign trail?

These blogs are telling. The Dems are really split. That will only help McCain. I am an Obama supporter. And I hope every Hillary supporter realizes that there's nothing to gain by slamming Obama. Both candidates are smart, accomplished and admired by many of their colleagues. They have different approaches and leadership capabilities and that's what people are deciding on (they are very close on the issues). It's okay not to like him. It's okay for those of us who support Obama to disagree that Hillary (and Bill) would a good thing for the White House. Let's respect each others differences. And if you decide to vote McCain if Obama gets the nomination, well, that definitely supports what I've felt for the past decade. The Republicans are loyal to their "party" and Dems are loyal to their candidate. That is why Republicans win and keep winning despite great odds. Think about it long and hard, if Obama is to win the nomination, before you cast your vote for McCain. Remember, Democrats have CORE VALUES too and we should reach across the line - with Obama and Hillary - to stand together in November, not divide to let the Republicans stay in the White House. Obama 08.

How many hearings has Hillary held this year? We already know she couldn't bother to go vote on telecom immunity, so I doubt she, her campaign, and her supporters aren't n the position to throw stones.

Question for all the Obama supporters: On what issue has he taken a substantive "change" stand? For all the talk of "hope" and "change", he is a very "safe", "blah", status-quo candidate. It's all talk and image.

I challenge anyone to repudiate this with facts.

David Paul from Canada.

I can't believe these voters, Hillary is definitely the best candidate, and the media have been anything but fair to her.

Why do they call her so many names, are they afraid of this brilliant woman. If they think they are going to have a great time if Obama gets in (which I doubt after McCain gets through with him) they can think again, because he will be too busy finding the money to pay for all the little favours that people have been doing for him.

Wake up Americans

I am one voter who have had enough of both the Bush's and Clinton's in the White House. Hillary had the best chance of any to bring about healthcare reforms. After all, her husband (Democrat) was president and... leading both sides of the aisles were also democrats. Yet, she couldn't do it? Why? Because she lacks the type of leadership skills and experience of bringing people together to solve a common issue or problem. She is offensive in America among both political parties, genders and people of color. I think it's time for her to really and sincerely find her voice. We have seen so many faces its hard to tell who will show up. Will the real Hillary please stand up and be counted? Hillary should be truthful to herself before anyone can ever believe in her! It's time for a change! I hope Americans will stand up and stop Hillary and Bill Clinton!

Hillary supporters are used to her being molly coddled by CNN in their lopsided debates,
I found the questions on msnbc to be objective and fair,
hence it was a better debate.
The writing is on the wall, i think she should fire Penn

When will Ted Kennedy & John Kerry switch and vote for Senator Clinton? If Mr.Lewis feels it is fair to switch loyalties because of the popular vote then I think it is incumbent of them to do the same. I also believe your commentator Campbell Brown is showing a bias to O'Bama. Tonight she equated Senator Clinton's question about being always asked the first question in debates (which was true) with her political capability. Anyone knows it is much easier to go second in a debate.

What has Hillary been neglecting since she began to run for president? Hm? To suggest that Obama should be spending more time having oversight hearings when he could be the President of the United States is ridiculous. I'm sure he didn't take the job knowing he would be running a campaign. How much has Hillary been doing for New York since she started running? What about her other responsibilities? Why aren't we expecting her to be handling these things as well? It's a double standard. All politicians have to sacrifice their "normal" duties when they make this run for the presidency. It comes with the territory. It does not reflect Senator Obama's feelings or knowledge about foreign policy.

Hillary's doing what? She's campaigning and nothing else... just as Obama's doing. She brought that up because she's about to lose and she's desperate. She's lame, and her divisive ways are not wanted in the White House.

So, experienced Hillary is that she drove her her campaign to lose 7.2 million dollars in January! This is after her personal 5 million dollars injection to the campaign! Don't get me started with her tax returns......
Chaos at her campaign; 2 resignations of her campaign manager and deputy. 1 co-chair stepped down and 2 other top officials because of inappropriate campaign behavior.
Oh, over hundred thousands of donor money spent on the Belagio hotel and thousands more on dunkin donuts, other luxeries, etc and she ran her 105 million dollar campaign to bankruptcy. Then her staffers opted to go without pay. But that got bad media publicity, so then they decided to get paid.
She can't even manage her presidential campaign; how do we expect her to run a country, much less balance the budget and run the economy??
Oh, and also the politics of arrogance: no political strategy beyond Feb 5. So, can we rely on Hillary's experience for good judgment. Each time she needs to show good judgment, she fails. Even when running her own campaign.
On the other hand, Obama, is running a far more organized and fiscally responsible campaign. Both made the same amount of money but instead of losing 7 mill like Hillary, they made a profit of 17 million dollars. Thats the kind of campaign and leadership u expect from a future president. ANd the right kind of team and human capaital.
Use that as a bench mark and not the "35" yrs of experience. Lets see where she stood where it matters. She now regrets her Iraq vote. We knew all along it was a mistkae; Edwards, Chris Dodd, etc had the political courage and judgment to express that way ahead in the game but her stuborrnness and arrogoance gets in the way of judgment.
End of discussion.

Hillary is the best. Obama too novice.

oh god...hillary plz plz stop finger pointing..you are hurting all of us...
its not a geme...im sorry it looks like you are going to lose hillary over your negative atticks, so i dont wana waste my vote...im vote for obama now...demo for 08.

This what I have been saying all along. Where is the beef Senator Obama I am really scared what will happen to our country if he becomes the president. As I watch his speches, its all rhetoric and no substance. I hope it is not too late for this Obama supporters to re think their position and make Hillary Clinton the democratic nominee of the democratic party.

At this point Billary is so desperate. She is willing to focus on Obama when she needs to focus on her mess of a campaign. I'm tired of her not focusing on herself...

Obama 08

Dear CNN,

I think that Hillary is just looking for ways to slow Barack Obama's momentum. Obama has laid off the attacks and Hillary is desperately searching for momentum of her own. I think that the democrats need to back Barack Obama because he is ready to bring a superior change to Washington. Hillary needs to stop attacking people because she is not so perfect herself and she is digging herself in a very deep hole. One point that Hillary has brought up is that she has a lot more experience than Barack Obama (which is true), but she also says that she has the right experience over Obama to bring 21st century solutions. The only thing wrong about that is that she and Obama have had the same experience in the 21st century.

My vote is for BARACK OBAMA!

dallasiteforhillary–I'm glad I wasn't the only one that caught that Obama has been campaigning for the past 2 years. We need real change, real experience, and someone with real solutions...GO HILLARY!

By the way, Hillary was not whining about being first to answer questions, she was trying to get you all to see how biased everyone is.
Have you never noticed when she answers the questions and tells how she will do it, up pops the rock star and says, "I agree with Hillary", or as Hillary says........for God's sake wake up you silly people he is stealing the ideas of her..........let her speak and I can figure it out from her she is so clear minded.........Wake up before it is too late.

CNN won't post this because it's not pro Clinton!!

You Obama haters have a lot of chat! Where was Clinton when they were voting to tap my phone or throw YOU in Guantanamo for no reason. Obama voted, even McCain voted. Oh that's right Clinton WAS RUNNING FOR PRESIDENT!!!!! That's why she didn't vote.

Pot, meet Kettle!!!

Hillary is not perfect.

I gotta hand it to ya' you Republicans are SLICK! You're playin' Obama
like a cheap guitar! He touts how he has the support of thousands of
"Obamicans" (Repentant republicans). They are helping him rob Hillary
of the nomination just like they did with Nader in 2000. They are so
afraid of running against Hillary that they are supporting Obama to get
the nomination but once the general elections come around, McCain will
whistle for them and they'll all go running back. Obama is so naive
that he actually believes that he can just "hug" Republicans into
changing their core beliefs. One thing about Republicans is that they
are not some sort of "crazies" who just need someone to read them some
poetry and they'll give up on Abortion rights, Capitol punishment,
Immigration, Gun control, etc.

Look people...running for president is no easy task and certainly a time consuming one. Of course it makes sense that since he's been running for president he hasn't had the time. What's the big deal. I'm sure hill hasn't done squat since she's been on the trail either. Exactly my point! Is so dumb to judge him on this one point. Hill supposedly has had over 35 years of experience and what has she done? Squat!!! Exactly

It is unfortunate that so many folks detest Hillary. Though she can be divisive and calculating, the level that this hate exists is undeserved. She truly has command of the issues. Obama is an intelligent person whos time would undoubtedly come, but it does seem premature. However, he does seem to be winning over so many. I have always voted democrat but will truly have to consider McCain if Obama is the nominee. Yes, Obama is a great speaker and obviously continues to inspire. Yet, is that enough to truly change hard core principals of the opposition? McCain has paid his dues and understands the issues in great detail, especially foreign policy. Recent polls show that McCain does better on almost all issues than Obama (except HealthCare I believe), including the Economy. However, Hillary scores higher than McCain on the Economy. With $100 oil, the EURO at an all time high vs. the dollar, the housing slump, and gas creeping up to $4/gallon, it may indeed again be the economy stupid. Be careful democrats....the strength of McCain vs. Obama in the General is starting to show its head. Unless McCain truly screws up – I think Dems may be in trouble with Obama or Hillary....but likely more so with Obama.

Hillary can't get disclose her taxes because she says she doesn't have time to call an accountant due to her running for President. But you wantt Barack to hold sSentate meetings while running. Shame on all you you! This goes to show why Hillary campaign is a such mess. 35 years of experience and no time to have an accountant or Bill Clinton to make sure their taxes are disclosed. Amazing!!!!!!!!

Typical (delusional) Obama supporter response. Totally issue the issue at hand and deflect, deflect, deflect. Tax returns are personal (and ALL Senators have to disclose financial information anyway so it's out there) BUT that has nothing whatsoever to do with Obama's failure to convene a substantive meeting of the subcommittee he chairs, which, by the way if far more important that whether or not I get a peek at someone's tax returns, or know who they slept with (because I know that's coming next...) and so should you.

If Mrs. Clinton runs for President, I'm voting for Mickey Mouse! She is vindictive,
holds too much anger and who wants
Clinton's in the White House for a total of
16 l-o-n-g years! That would be a dictatorship!!

come on guys start voting for Hillary, the rewards will be enormous,
stop being afraid of this Brillian woman. Why on earth are you voting for someone who hardly speaks. When asked a question at the debate after Hillary, what did he say, well has Hillary has said........
doesn't this tell you something about this guy, he is flying on the coatails of Hillary. Start looking at the issues and the solutions that Hillary has. You know Obama does not have a magic wand that he will wave if he gets to the Whitehouse and says it shall be done, wake up this man has underlying currents that I am getting scared about.

Get out and Vote Hillary, she is the one!

What has Hillary and McCain done in the Senate since January of '07? Get real, this is no issue.

I guess it's easier to say, "He's done nothing," rather than, "He's co-sponsored dozens of bills, 13 of which have become law," and it's easier to say, "He's done nothing," than, "He's been chair for a year and held two meetings of a subcommittee that often does very little business."

Anyway, I'd love to see Obama go up against McCain in the general election and McCain play this card. McCain wants to keep tax cuts for the poor and deny healthcare to working Americans... and Obama didn't have time to schedule a meeting of a minor subcommittee. Awesome.

Universal Healthcare – She's been working on it since 1992...and has gotten nowhere. Hmmm...Most people would be fired for that kind of lack of productivity!

Go Barack!!!

OBAMA going down.......Tell us more on the nuclear plant that you suppoted.

There isnt really anything to respond to in this article. Its illuminates the desperation of the Clinton camp and her supporters. I would like all the Clinton supporters to tell me how many oversight meeting she has conducted since January 2007. I believe there is no difference between Obama and Clinton, however, Obama is more adequate for the situation that this country is in now. They are both un-experienced, if you want to talk about presidential or executive experience. Standing beside your husband while he was a president is not experience, you would not let a doctor's wife operate on you, same dynamic here. Sen. Clinton is too divisive, her campaign has shown that by ostracizing independents, disaffected replubicans and even democrats in caucuses and swing states. When she loses a primary or caucus, it is because they dont count. If we really want experience McCain is the answer but he has a bunch of baggage with that experience such as arrogance, "American vs the World" mentality and the notion that if unchecked capitalism works for the entire country. So Obama would be the best bet among the remaining contenders.

Is this the best Hillary can do? She is a person scaping to find some credibility in a campaign covered with teflon – everything runs off and nothing sticks. It is sad to see a person struggle so much with defeat especially in a national campaign. I firmly believe Hillary does not know any more who she is or who she is supposed to be. There is just no other way to say it and not worth sugar-coating it...the more you see the two candidates together, the more Presidential Mr. Obama appears to be.

Nothing can change people's lives more than electing a great president. I would rather Obama to spend time on the campaign trail than on other things, such as committee meetings, senate votes, and forum speeches targeted to a special group of auidence. T

his is why Obama has been consistent on his message, whereas Hillary has been working hard to find and try various messages. Vision and wisdom are what we need, not division and boredom.

As a military spouse I find it rather appalling that it is okay to state that he had no time because he is running for President. If you are placing on your platform of issues the lack of attention to Afghanistan then should you not use your position, whether a new one or not, to do something about it. All talk and no action. Well, I will just inform my husband who is currently serving his fourth time in a combat zone that the man who may become commander in chief is currently occupied with more important business. I am a supporter of Senator Clinton, but I will vote for Obama if he is the democratic nominee, but I will expect more from him than he has given. His debating style is greatly lacking, What will he do when he doesn't have Hillary to speak first. He can't say I agree with McCain repeatedly. The detract and deflect method will not bode well with the Republicans who will pull out all the stops. The Democrats must stay united. However, this also means that Obama supporters must stop the disparging remarks towards Clinton, because it has only given the Republican party more fodder and upheld the sexism that has permeated this election process. And for those who are not up on their American history, lets stop comparing Obama to Kennedy. I mean yes Kennedy had a rock star image and brought forth hope just like Obama. However, Republicans are going to attack Obama on foreign policy and foreign policy was Kennedy's downfall-remember the Bay of Pigs and Vietnam.

This is getting too stupid again.... all the Hillary bashers, Obama bashers going at each other. Get real folks, stick to the issue!

Bottom line...if you make a committment, you stick with it, or quit. So, Sen. Obama, what's it going to be?

Obama is a media creation. Democrats will pay for their mistake if he is the nominee. Republicans will have four more years in the White House because democrats could not see past their skin color and delusional enthusiasm.

I agree with Danielle. My post also hasn't gone through. What's wrong?
It contradicts, even the worde "democrats". If this website is Clintorist, why should you call yourselves demos? Is it not manipulation? Well, that's precisely what Hillary reflects: manipulation, control and lack of statemanship. How can she be my prfesident? Never, never, never!!!

Yes, we all saw it again. Obama showed how he is not ready for leadership. Flip-flop politics but I guess his blinded followers really don't care about it, the media doesn't care. We have all made up our minds. The only applaud during the debate was when Hillary mentioned about a woman being President but I guess it wasn't news worthy to report.

BTW, are you people kidding about the "typical pro Hillary people monitoring the posts"? That statement alone shows us all the you are an Obamalite; as delusional as he is............

We are not whining; just frustrated that the delusional will be shaping our future.

We need ANOTHER Clinton like we needed another Bush!
Time to give someone who is NOT a political dynasty insider a chance. It can't get worse.

Signs of things to come with Obama.

All talk and no do.

There are going to be millions of Obama supporters with jaws dropped come the end of 2009 when Obama hasn't gotten us out of the wars, when health care reform hasn't even begun, and all his other promises.

...Was there anything to oversee in that committee?

Senator Obama should never had accepted the position of chairman if his campaign interfered with its responsibilities. If he was being honest in the Texas debate when he said, "I've been campaigning now for the last two years," he knew of his intent to run before being named chairman.

Running for president is a full time gig. Plus, he was responsible for Obama-Lugar(Nuclear proliferation). Feel free to check out his whole – and long – legislative record in the Senate. Feel free to do your homework before you spout off. Senator Obama has never said he was perfect. He has made mistakes and has owned up to them.

Now, where are Hillary's tax returns and White house papers she's hiding.

Its funny how the media works again. You post something good about Obama it is immediatly posted but on the other hand you post something good about Clinton and it takes forever to be posted.
WHY IS THAT!!!

If Obama wins Ohio and Texas then McCain has my vote!!!!

As someone said before...it's not pretty when the wheels fall off. Have fun rolling that Radio Flyer out of the playground Hill supporters. I'll be on the side rollig in the next president of the U.S.A. Barack H. Obama. But thanks for the laughs. LOL

I'm certain that Barak will not be an absent president and you all know it.

Bush 1 (4 years of incompetence); Bill clinton (8 years of competence); Bush 2(8 years of incompetence); Hillary (8 years of competence). Things will balance out unless we elect incompetence (Obama) again.

does her royal highness HRC have time to please call her accountant to give us a rough idea of her tax returns, at least to the nearest $million?

Clinton, McCain, and Obama and any other fullt-time member of Congress should have to resign from that seat when running for President.

All three of these candidates have been derelict in their duties as Senators and representatives for their states.

Look at all the major votes in the past year and you will see that all three of them have missed almost all of the votes. True, you might see one or two cast in the past year, but that is irrelevant considering the issue that they have failed to vote and in some cases thee small margins in which they failed to muster a m ajority.

Go to the U.S. Senate and look up the votes on the legislation and see the truth for once!!!!

Obama has been on a mission since finishing Harvard and that is to be President. With the help of the media and democratic party, he might just be. Elected to the US senate was just another step of many, and lately he is to busy to take that job seriously.

Ohio! Texas! PA! PLEASE save us from ourselves. We have followed the media like lambs to the slaughter. No matter what point Hillary makes now someone says it is the wrong one. But she continues to fight for us. Yes we can be the stupidest people on the planet. We have disrespected her enough. Please help us nominate Hillary Clinton.

This is not a Monarchy government, we don't wanna heritance in the government, we have had 4-years for Bush, 8-years for Bill Clinton, 8-years for Bush Jr. again. Do we really need another Clinton in the White House ? We need a change and the time has come.

Thank God that Obama is being looked at with more scruitny. I believe with all of my being that Hillary is the only choice for US president. I say If Hillary does not get the nomination. We either don't vote or vote for McCain or Write Hillary In. I am tired of this Obama Fest. I am tired of the Hillary bashing I am ready to take this all the way to November with a protest if she does not get the nomination. I feel that strongly about Hillary. Please encourage your fellow Hillary supporters not to settle. PROTEST!!!!!!!!!! Write her in, Vote for McCain but do not settle for Obama. He is not right for the US.

Why is no one reporting that Hillary is too busy to release her tax statements? That to me is the bigger story.

YOU GO CLINTON! I was for you since the beginning, but thought, "you know, if it was Obama I would still be content." Now I am completely against the idea of this guy being president. All talk and no action. I never heard anything substantial come out of his mouth – it's all "hope" and "change" and "I was against the war" (remember, he never actually voted against it b/c he wasn't in office at the time) but when it comes down to what he plans to do, he's either vague or expresses poor – sometimes scarily conservative – ideas. He's bad all around as it relates to both foreign and domestic issues. My fear is that people are falling for charisma, but not character and intelligence.

Why aren't any of these Hillary supporters blogging on the fact that she refuses to release her records while in the White House or her Tax info. Funny that her supporter pick their fights also, and focus on the topics they are proud of. I understand now.

She certainly can't go over her record,that's why she sound like a different person with a different record every time she speaks. She actually appears to believe that she can whine her way into the Presidency of the United States.

And she was where during the FISA vote?

Running for President.

This discussion is completely relevant! This is something that should have been brought to the publics attention months ago! You should not vote someone into the highest office of our country without examining their record and proven accomplishments. Obama uses his participation on this committee in his resume, but hasn't really made any accomplishments while on the committee. That is telling. Wake up you Obamabots, this election is too important!

i'm an outsider, from what i see from the last debate, then watch the comments from CNN, MSNBC. I have to say, the media is really tough to hilary. There is no negative news from obama! BTW, a person who can just say sweet words, no actual actions can be so popular! It's a empty suits! Kind of weird, i still don't know why people like obama so much??

You guys are so naive. Hillary is missing meetings as well. Are you crazy? Hi commitment began in January, that means he has been out for two months. I am sure he is in touch but unabke to attend. These committees do not meet everyday. Besides, he is trying to bacome president because he can help our country much more as president than as a committee chair. So let's get real Hillary. You just made an idiotic point. Like you are not missing your work everyday! hello!!!!! at least he has one personality not 10. We never know what you are going to come out as. Please take a vacation right after you bow out of this race.
Thnaks!

Oh Goody Goody .. the meany CNN has finally given Hilary a break!

People .. it's nicknamed the Clinton News Network for a reason.... dummies.

Song:
The Clintonite's say vote for Hillary, the our country says no, no, no... The Clintonite's say she won't lie, cheat, and steal again, and she does, does, does...Hilary says vote for me to tell you what to do....and the people say no, no, NO!

And if I might add, who is Billary to talk about "WOMEN RIGHTS" and yet sticks around after her husband had an affair, and if you research, you'll realize that was not the first one. And that's the woman that is suppose to represent ME!!! I T-H-I-N-K N-O-T!!!

Oh boy look at those Hillary people. Why couldn't Hillary find the time to vote on FISA? You Hillary folk are grasping at straws.

Obama will get us into some international mess. Because smart people can say and do stupid things. He will stack his administration with mostly inccmpetent people. The whole administration including the Presidency will be affirmative action appointments. Texas and Ohio you have the power now to turn this around

Has anyone noticed the lack of respect she gives to Senator Obama. She addresses him by his first name only. That is an intentional gesture of disrespect. But you know what, he is such a wise person, he never says anything about it, and he never let's it bother him. He still referrs to her as Senator Clinton.
OBAMA ALL THE WAY!!!!!!

What is this the Clinton Campaign chat site?

and what have you been doing since you began running for President Hillary? hmmm,... running for President I guess... It takes up alot of time. Can she just quit already....

Hillary? Never. That would be the most tragic mistake the American people would ever make.
And about heer tricks, sarcasm, manipulation, etc.?

Bye Hillary. Go away

So Senator Obama held no hearings in his subcommittee over the past year? Senator Clinton chairs the subcommittee on Superfund and Environmental Health. That group did meet once last October and twice over summer, each for part of one day. Anybody know of one substantive action that came out of any one of these three hearings? Any committee chair can call witnesses and show up for half a day to ask questions. That doesn't translate into action, either. I, too, am glad Obama is out campaigning because a Clinton or McCain presidency is bound to be business-as-usual Washington politics.

Thank you Lou Dobbs. Obama is all talk. I will vote for Hillary if I get the chance.

Why CNN doesn't say it more plainly? Please use this title: Obama didn't did not hold a single oversight hearing, Clinton says.

I'm a Obama supporter, but i still like HRC. All of u Hillary supporters crack me up.

If i didn't know better i would swear that we were on different teams.

Obama 08

MY TURN: GOOOOO HILLERY!!!!!

4 years of Bush / 8 Years of Clinton/ 8 Years of Bush
Do we really need another Clinton in the White House.
It's time for a change...... (Republican) Obamacan for OBAMA 08

Censorship!!!!!! I guess the Obama folks aren't allowed to post. My posts are not being posted.

Typical, pro Hillary people monitoring the posts.

CNN get back to maintaining truth about the issues you address; Obama is the Chairman of a subcommittee on Europe, you look silly when you just take off spouting Hillary's accusations. Try finding out what his post requires, Lou Dobbs you sound political ignorant as to how these branches of government work. Now let's see if you post this!

Hillary is spoonfeeding attack points to the Republican party for Nov.

I believe Hillery is the one and only one that can beat the Rep. in the fall. If she doesn't win......then my family is all going Independent....there isn't much left to choose from. Obama, we really don't know any real truth of what he truly stands for and McCain is just another Bush.

The Obama people are not in on this one because it is the last ditch efforts of a candidate who has lost. She had her chance but has lost. Lets get behind the nominee and start pushing Obama into the White House.

Come on Hillary people....

Let's look at the facts:
1. He was appointed right as his campaign got underway. It's a shame that these candidates have to spend this much time on the campaign trail. Blame this one on all the states moving up their primaries and caucuses.

2. Trying to slam Obama for campaigning too much is like the kettle calling the coffee black. I'm amazed that no Hillary supporters have mentioned that ALL THE CANDIDATES including Clinton and McCain have been pulled away from their duties in order to campaign. Hillary doesn't mention anything of SUBSTANCE that she has done in the subcommittees that she chairs (and I can't even think of one that she does).

3. We've seen what Hillary does while she's campaigning – ie, voting to declare Iran's National Gaurd a terrorist organization, and in turn giving Bush her support to start another endless, unilateral war.

4. This is an OVERSIGHT committee. They are not setting the agenda and have little authority over what George Bush does. Blaming Obama for what is happening in Afghanistan is like blaming the chair of the ethics committee for Bill Clinton having an affair while in office!

Dolores -
All the Obama people are too busy CAMPAIGNING for the next President of the U.S.

All you Hillary supporters can continue to WHINE and celebrate this small victory you are claiming. Nonsense.

Thank You ! Lou Dobbs .

For being the only one on CNN with the "GUTS" to ask though questions of all the candidates , and never afraid to follow up with even tougher questions!!!!!!! . The Free Press isn't dead yet!

Hillary 08

For the thousandth time you're biasad again CNN!!! The title should be:
Clinton Campaign Highlights Obama's LACK OF Chairmanship. Indeed, he never proves himself to have done anything worthwhile, that Mr. No Substance.

what a pity!!!!!!!!!!! and people say obama is ready????????
nooooooooooo hillary is !!!!
go hillary go!!!!!!!!!

What solutions does Hillary have? force me buy healthcare plan even if i can't afford it? fine me when i fail to buy or pay? support for a terrible idea of going to war in Iraq? supporting Nafta trade deals? crying on public TV?

Thank you, CNN for the good information.

GO Hillary! You would have to be deaf and blind not have noticed the media and yes CNN also giving Obama a free ride. Of course he all talk( he is inspirational speaker with NO actions behind anything). Of course, he won't hold meetings he is to bent on winning . We will vote for McCain if Obama gets the nomination as I hope and knwo many will also. CNN don't let Obama off the hook.

Great! Obama should go back to Washington, hold 'daily' oversite meetings of his comitee, and give Hillary all the time to campaign so they may return to the white house and 'finish' the 'work' big Bill could not 'finish'.

Look at all the Obama haters out there still lingering.
Knock, knock! Helloooo. HILLARY CLINTON IS GOING TO LOSE! I repeat: HILLARY CLINTON IS GOING TO LOSE. You say Barack is all talk. Well Hillary is all lies. What do you say to her not releasing information showing how her and Bill raise their money? You still want to be an idiot and support this dynamic duover. Barack has been upfront with everything and you still don't want him. Go to another country.

If Obama was fully engaged in the Senate's business he might be far behind Clinton today as he was initially. I think all of the candidates have made some concessions on Senate duites during this run for President. I supported McCain 8 years ago, and initally supported John Edwards. I really like some things that Ron Paul says. The types of change needed in our political system requires the leadership and level of engagement that Obama has brought to this Presidential race. Without that type of engagement, American's would likely opt out of participation in the political process one more time!

Hillary , you are the best and latin people are with you
GO HILLARY !!!!!!!

Ok, so the glimpse we see of Obama regarding this committee is the real thing, and the glimpse we see of Hillary when the mildly sympathetic character comes out is also the real thing?

Seriously folks....stop grasping at "glimpses" and start looking at the totality.

She is not winning, I've changed my support and America is choosing otherwise as well.

Its time to get behind Obama or make your stand for four more years of the same because I think those are the realistic choices at this point.

The divisiveness has to end!

Aren't we all tired of the lofty, unrealistic rhetoric we keep hearing from Obama?

So where are all the Obama supporters comments on this one? Not one trying to defend him? Maybe because there is no excuse for this!

Wake up people, Obama and Hillary held two chairman ships him on Europe and she on environmental affairs. They both had the position for same time period and Hillary held 2 hearings where Obama did nothing but to run for the president.
American people just like hype and glamor, The only smart choice these people did in recent years is electing Bill Clinton and thats why Republicans cannot stand he held the office for 8 yrs.
By the time American people wake up for this mess it will be too late and Hillary will look like a Queen in the Senate and people will start worshiping her. Where Obama will become the next Bush. He might even get the name Obama Republicans.

What has Hillary done in 2007 other than run for President?

I used to think that Republicans were the only one who were "HATE-MONGERS"....... but after I read some of the above comments. I see that the Democrats are just as bad!

No wonder the majority of Americans hate politics & refuse to even vote!
With comments like the ones against Sen. Obama, who needs it?

Hillary looked desperate last night, seemed to be either on the attack or defense.

Do you really want a president who whines "why do I always get the first question?"

Or a president who VOTED for the war, and IS responsible for the mess we are in and the lives lost?

How about allowing public access to her taw returns? What is she hiding?

This Independent voter is voting for change, because another Clinton is NOT change.

OBAMA 08!

Hillary is being hypocritical – again! The truth is since she started campaigning she hasn't performed any significant duties in the senate just like Obama.

At least Obama took some time to file his taxes and make his info public unlike Hillary who is still making excuses. She claims she's so busy campaigning that "she barely even have time to sleep." Yet, she expects someone running for president just like her to have the time to convene a senate hearing.

This is hypocrisy at it's worst and we the voters in Ohio see thru it and will reject her next Tuesday like most other states have done.

all the obama supporters are mighty silent on this point.

hopefully this gains more traction on other news outlets.

The Obama people were at work while all the Clinton fanatics trolled the internet for opportunities to repeat their catchphrases. Would someone please point out one notable thing Clinton has done since she started campaigning in earnest? Yeah, I thought so.

A response to Dolores on:
Wher are all the Obama people on this one?

We- the Obama people are busy with our lives and talking about various important issues. Senator Clinton's Presidential run is over.

Best

someone at cnn is trying to appease Clinton supporters by only postuing their comments.....too sad...educated america knows better....Obama is the man for the job...

The Obama people are confident in their candidate's appeal....it's the Hillary supporters that need to grab at straws to try and prop up their failing candidate....Get over it already, Hillary. And by the way, when will you show your tax returns?

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

Go Hillary! You are by far the best candidate!!

Hillary! You are the best ! GO GO GO!

WOW..not one Obama supporter on this one..what the heck happened to all of em...did the cat catch their tongue!! Chairman for 13 months and he did what......wait...thats right..NOTHING!! Do we really want another man...who cares if he's black or white or muslim or christian.....i dont...i do care about what he stands for..and the answer is NOTHING..he doesn't have a clue..i'm from Illinois...he won senate campaign in IL because the republican fellow dropped out!!
wonder if CNN will post this!! common CNN post my comment for once!!

I used to think that Republicans were the only one who were "HATE-MONGERS"....... but after I read some of the above comments. I see that the Democrats are just as bad!

No wonder the majority of Americans hate politics & refuse to even vote!
With comments like the ones against Sen. Obama, who needs it?

Hillary looked desperate last night, seemed to be either on the attack or defense.

Do you really want a president who whines "why do I always get the first question?"

Or a president who VOTED for the war, and IS responsible for the mess we are in and the lives lost?

How about allowing public access to her taw returns? What is she hiding?

This Independent voter is voting for change, because another Clinton is NOT change.

We as a country really need Hillary. I still have hope that Ohio and Texas will do the right thing and turn the tables in this race.

Tough to respond on this one Dolores. They still have to find some sort of spin those kids.

The Obama are busy running a positive campaign, while Hillary is so busy engaging in the politics of smear that she can't "get it together" to release her income tax records so that we know where the 5 million dollar loan comes from–perhaps Bill Clinton's mining deals for Canadian plutocrats working to open new mines in former Soviet sallietes?

Look people, the important point is that Obama is not pushing these kinds of smears, all those Clinton people responding here are.

keep on fighting!!!!!! GO HILLARY!!!!!

Dolores: There might be more important things at hand than trolling on the CNN news site (hint.. hint... nevermind!)

It is easy to pick one thing that Obama did not do to blame him. the fact is she is way less honest than anybody not even Mcain. She is constantly lying

If Hillary gets into office the military is screwed. Part of the problem with the military now is what Bill did to dismantle it in the '90s and lets face it if she gets in office it is as good as saying he is serving a third term except he'll have more time to chase interns. There isn't a single good candidate among any of them but I know a lot of military that will get out of the service if she is elected so in essence a Clinton will once again dismantle the military.

Does anyone have comparative figures of Clinton vs. Obama and also broken down by what KIND of meeting or inquiry or oversight or substantive or insubstansive and all the other types of meeting that most of us don't know?

All dose who who vote for Hillary

How can you guys say that Obama has less experience than Hillary when he opposed the war in Iraq and Nafta from the all begining. But Hillary voted for this issues. Now she has change her mind cause it has damage US. Hillary is a lier don´t forget she is Hillary and not Bill.

Obama For President 08

whoa! the HIllary supporters are jumping for joy eh?
Did any of you Hillary supporters read the last sentence?
I don't think so.

Obama '08

Please, Look at the big picture, and don't be afaid of radical change, Obama has not been spoiled by Washington, how many votes has Hillary missed since her campain started

GO OBAMA, GO9

Hillary, quit giving John McCain fuel. You are a strong presidential candidate, but you may not win the nomination. Then McCain is going to turn your words on Obama. You say you want a democratic president in the white house? Well, try touting your own accomplishments and stick to the issues...stop the negativity!

I'm a Obama supporter, there's this question that Obama is all talk and no action. This notion is ridiculous because Mr. Obama has out done Mrs. Clinton and the "Clinton machine" in this campaign. So are we to questioning Obama because he didn't have a meeting......If Hillary is trying to push this issue then she is really depressed and it's sad. She can't even run a successful campaign, so what does that say about her if she was president.... ..I like her, but she nor Mcain are not the people that we need in the White House at this time.

USA '08

On the surface, this looks like a good argument, but it is typical grasping at straws politics. Where is the substance? Where is the proof? If you look at the senate website, no subcommittees list their meetings or hearings. Note that Obama said that he had only been chairman since January 2007, not that he had never held a single meeting. But, of course, Clinton's campaign implies that he confessed to having never met with his committee since becoming chairman. And she had the nerve to get so upset about the mailers that, supposedly, misled people about her stance on the issues. Face it Hillary supporters, the kitchen sink isn’t going to be big enough to stop the Obama train, you might as well climb aboard.

where are Hillary's tax returns?

what is she hiding?

Kind of interesting that it is thrown in Obama's face that he's focusing too much on running for president that he isn't chairing meetings. An easier task, releasing tax returns, cannot even be done by Hillary!

To Damon,

So you think it's petty that he has chaired a major senate commitee but has not had one meeting in the year he has chaired it? I do have to say you don't sound very intelligent.

If Hillary wins, she won the hard way , if Barak wins , he gets it on a platter, served up by the media.
GO HILLARY if not 08 then we will see you in 2012

ps if not HILLARY , the we vote Mcaain this time, and I am a diehard democrat

McCain is in, if Obama isn't out.

Can anyone tell me what Hillary has done SINCE Jan. 2007, in term of her public duty other than runing for president?

I wonder what Hillary is neglecting while she is also running for president. Has anyone ever heard of the CO-CHAIRMAN of the senate
subcommitee? Thats who is running it in his place. Kind of makes sense doesn't it? At least this proves Obama HAS EXPERIENCE in foreign relations. Education is the key.

OBAMA 08.

It is wonderful to see Hillary' s supporters stand up. Together, we will make our voices strong and clear. I am a Vietnamese American, and I can sense that we are strongly for Hillary, because we are the people who value knowlege and experience above all.

Can anyone tell me what Hillary has done in term of her public duty other than runing for president?

Is it not a sad statement that it takes a skit from SNL to get the media to start vetting Obama. No one could argue that this week has not been the week that he has been the most scrutinized.

You guys need to wake up, and not fall for another Clinton political game.

What will calling a NATO hearing do? The arrogance of the current administration has pissed of NATO countries and they are NOT going to cooperate with the US until there's a new administration in place.

Even our closest ally Britain has pretty much pulled out of Iraq. Tony Blair's support for George Bush cost him his political life. Except you guys are kidding yourselves, no NATO leader is going to stick out a limb for the current president – an no NATO hearing can help that much.

Finally CNN is getting the message. - Or, just fairly reporting Clinton’s very accurate and intelligent response. It's about time. We only ask for fair and honest reporting. Stop treating Obama with kid gloves. Scrutinize Obama’s record and background as Clinton's has been. Senator Clinton definitely has the solid ideas with the depth in her plan to back them up — Obama does not. He always looks lost, lets Clinton do the talking, generally agrees with her and adds very little to the conversation….despite what the bias media has been saying. He starts with a lie or misrepresentation and Clinton has no choice but to call him on it. Then the media portrays her as a whiner or nitpicker. Then he acts so innocent like her forceful response is unwarranted. PLEASE...give me a break!!!!

This Obama person is right here...
Get real people, you think Obama has control over NATO because of some rhetoric that Billary spews?
You people should start to love Obama.
He is our next president!

YES WE CAN!

How much of the money that Obama gets online and in small donations must be from Republicans? How will the annointed one defend himself on this point when McCain brings it up? And don't think this is a fluke. I bet they are making lists now for use after the primary season is over. Are we Democrats trying to lose the election on national security or are we going to pick another area where Obama is weak and lose on that one?

Really...I'd like to review what sort of duties the happy Senator or NY may have neglected in the wake of her vigorous campaign–perhaps things like releasing her TAX RETURNS, inter alia??? Clearly she admitted that she, too, was "busy" campaigning, which was why she could not get to it as of late. HYPOCRITES!!

Can it be that SNL has become the new source of honesty and COURAGE in the media? Apparently it took them to finally shame CNN into putting out a story like this! And yes, it does show how Obams failed a position, showed no action, and demonstrated that he is indeed a lot of talk with little (and in this case, NO) action!

Good job Hillary for pointing it out! And I'm loving this Hillary support! She's a fighter, and so are her supporters! This thing isn't over yet!

Wow, finally a positive article on Senator Clinton! The press and the media has been treated her so unfairly lately. And I know there are negative articles on Senator Obama, but only oversea media such as the London Post and BBC would have the guts to publsh them. Anyway, I think Senator Clinton brought up a good point about Senator Obama has yet to hold a meeting since he became a chairman of Senate subcommittee. There is really no excuse for not doing your job even if you're running for president.

THANK GOD U HAVE SOMEONE LIKE OBAMA CONTESTING!!!!!!!!!!.

A CHANGE U CAN BELIEVE IN.

HILARY TALKS ABOUT EXPERIENCE OUCH!

EXPERIENCE IN WHAT? WAS SHE THE PRESIDENT OR BILL?

OBAMA IS TALKING ABOUT U MOVING TO THE NEXT LEVEL i.e. IF YOU LIVE IN A FLAT , HE WANTS U TO MOVE TO A HOUSE. IF U LIVE IN A HOUSE HE WANTS U TO MOVE TO A MANSHION. DON'T STAY IN SAME HOUSE AND CHANGE THE FURNITURE. THAT'S WHAT U WILL GET FROM HILARY. THINK GUYS THINK.

Obama is all talk and little of anything else. Whenever he has a chance to lead and cross those famous political lines, he runs off to make another speech.

Hillary rocked that debate last night – and of course Obama rode on her answers. He just keeps getting a free ride.
She is tough, she is strong.
I admire her more every day.

I was listening to a town hall meeting he held today (for VERBAL ammunition!),
and he actually called a girl in the audience "sweetie".
I noticed how he patted hillary on the back last night when the debate was over. PROBLEM WITH GENDER?????
He is arrogant. He is not ready.
PEOPLE PLEASE!!!!!!!
TEXAS OHIO RHODE ISLAND VERMONT!!!!!! LET'S GO!!!!!!!!!
GO HILLARY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm tired of CNN's bias toward's Clinton. I'm tired of how ridiculous the Clinton supporters are. Let's see, who voted for the War? And tried to pawn it off as being misled by Bush. How about Hillary not voting for the FISA immunity bill.. not even being there... where was she?

This is really ridiculous. I am ashamed to be an American that there's actually people who think that this is a real issue. People are dying in Iraq everyday, and people think that this really means something. How sad and petty of CNN. I refuse to watch CNN further. I doubt that CNN will publish this.

I wish the Hillary camp would take these blogs and do a media blast with them.
This is what it takes to stop the momentum.

CNN you have chosen not to post me at least three times...Am I back in?

I guess this is what we can expect if Obama becomes President. He's all talk and no action. What a disgrace that the media has influenced so many people to support this empty suit. The only thing he has ever been good at is promoting himself and running for office.

ahhaha the obama supporters are nowhere to be found becasue all the hillary supporters have been proven right without a doubt on this one.

Right here. I support Obama.

WHAT WILL ALL THE DELEGETES WHO ARE RUNNING TO OBAMA DO WHEN HILARY IS THE NOMINEE?????????????????????????????????????????????

Give me a break. Hillary said she was too busy running for the President to release her tax statements and then cries foul at Obama for being too busy.

She is unbelievable.

Obama 08

Bunch of ignorant people as we've seen all through the century during primaries and presidential election. Hillary is a fat talker, what solution has she got? It's the same blablabla blabla , the difference is she is more convencing. That's all, nothing more. All candidates want to seduce the voters. So if you don't have a brain, go and vote for the fat talker.
It is always the same scenario, big promises and little achievement.
She was not head of state, she was just a kind of co-pilot in the white house, it doesn't mean she can be ready on day one to be head of state. Taking a decision and advising someone to take a decision is not the same. Neither Obama or Hillary is experienced, so let's sit back and let's make a wise decision when we elect the next democratic candidate, it is not about debates, race, punches, big promises,experience.... But who can sincerely bring back the smile on our face, who can help us carry our heavy burden.

The real question is how long after she retires from the presidential race, will the happy Clintons announce they are divorcing?

Now THIS is interesting. There is a lot of talk about how Obama lacks substance, but it usually seems to come from people who haven't bothered to educate themselves on his record (and therefore, it ironically lacks substance).

I have been strongly leaning toward Obama but this is definitely a point worth talking about, and I am VERY interested to hear an explanation. I'm also curious why Hillary has waited until now to make an issue of this.

Just listen to today's exchanges between Obama and McCain! McCain will truely destroy him in debates, especially when he finds all the holes in Obama's character and experience. And then the American people will wake up, just in time for a landslide win by McCain, which will be the only other choice at that time. Wow, this is truely history making!!!

A chairman on a committe do not make policies for the president.

Hillary with experience since when does being a wife to the president gives you experience, if that were the case Mrs B. Bush, N Reagan and the likes would be saying the same thing.. Give me a break!!!!

Typical Clinton attack. Mrs. Clinton is really good at being critical and finger pointing. This is yet another example of her getting dirty about the race. Senator Obama gave Ms. Clinton a response as to why he has not yet held meetings. Senator Obama's response was factual. He is not the type to hold meetings just to hold meetings. Senator Obama gets things done. When there is a need to meet, I am sure he will meet. The same old POLITICIAN would hold meetings just to hold meetings. Mrs. Clinton and her followers are the lots-of-meetings-which-accomplish-nothing crowd. Senator Obama takes action when action is needed.

Bitter, tired, old politician; time to retire from the race Mrs. Clinton.

Something we all allready knew... all words, no action. It's the theme of his campaign... let's see how the media will turn this as shamefull bullying from hillary , instead of taking Obama up on it!!!

Why does Hillary continue to imply that Obama is not interested in actions?

Actions have been at the foundation of Obama's 20 years of public service!

This article is silly and it sheds nothing but light on the time constraints candidates face during presidential campaigns.

Too little too late, this is a point that should have been brought up sooner. Unfortunately everybody became infatuated with the Obama and now everyone is jumping on the band wagon because he is likeable. He is too young and inexperienced at this time. I would love to find out if it was true that he promised to serve his six years before running for president.

FINALLY.... after trying for a year to find something.... anything.... SUBSTANTIVE on Obama, the Clinton campaign FINALLY found something that I, as a Barack supporter, will give some credence to. .... congratulations.... so the score is NOW... THREE MILLION TO "ONE"

is this the kitchen, or is this the sink???? i guess tomorrrow it will be that he didn't call his mother enough when he went away to school..

To Me,

You think Hillary will be the best president in HISTORY???
Really?
I thought Lincoln was pretty good....

Hmmmm!! Where did I just hear too busy. aaaahhh yes.

Was it not Hillary who said she was too busy to release her tax returns and too busy to push having the papers released from their interim in the whitehouse.

It is funny how when they left the whitehouse they were so broke friends had to buy them a house and now they have so much money and nobody knows where it came from!! I understand Clintons have quite a stake in the pharmaceutical field????

This is emblematic of the Clinton campaign. They are the campaign of pettiness.

It is a good thing Clinton had her meltdown before she ever got close to being the nominee as another Kerry-like campaign failure during the general election would be disasterous for the Dems.

As a Republican I'd like to say if you want a Dem in the White House you better get behind Obama, he's your best hope. The Republicans would rather run against Clinton, she's got more skeletons in her closet than three Kennedys put together and they have a storeroom full of info ready to throw at her. She's not Bill, she's not tephlon and isn't well liked by Reps and Dems.

As an independant, I would give that one to Sen. Clinton, looks like out of all the slings and arrows she's been sending out wildly something finally stuck. However it may be too little too late at this point because her recent behavior has already turned many people off.

wow my response can't go on because of my support for obama that is sad. Oh by the way he has sat in on meetings and have gone out to talk with people. she is desperate!!!!

Dear Clinton campaign and its loyal supporters,

Thank you for continued efforts to destroying your party's chances this November. All help is greatly appreciated.

Regards,
The GOP

And what has Hillary done in the same time period besides run for president?

I am an Obama supporter. During the debate last night you could take any one thing said by either one, and based on your already made up mind say something about it. I am in no position to know whether his not having a meeting over the last 4 months is significant or not. It could be, but I hope everyone can get off a "one item vote" or a single issue vote to embrace the fact that a) it is historic moment when a woman and a black man are debating for the Democratic nomination, and b) that was one heck of a substantive debate! You'll never never never see that from the elephant people! Hooray for both Hillary and Obama.

Finally!!! It is about time someone begins reporting on the weak resume.

Hillary smoke Obama last night on every issue. His lack of knowledge on Russia, lack of accomplishments in the Senate and his coat tailing on he answers were more apparent last night than in any othe debate.

He hot air balloon is beginning to deflate.

Go Hillary go!

People, Hillary's experience being first lady does NOT count.

so..obama reason for holding a hearing its because his campain was to busy RUNNING for president...but yet hilary can't show her taxes because she's RUNNING for president?

ahh the smell of hypocrisy brewing.

I am pro Obama, but this is laughable.

He just managed a $150 Million campaign that beat a 35yr veteran politician.

During that time she mismanaged her campaign & reportedly didn't even know she was out of money.

She can't control her husband.

Her campaign are so unhappy they are leaking inside info to the press how bad things are.

Every 2 days she has a new message before we can digest the last one.

Now imagine she's running the country.

No thanks.

Damon, I this can hardly be called petty. In fact it says a lot about this candidate.

Let's see how Obama supporters react to this.
I'm expecting a lot of non-sense argument.

In todays fast paced world of multi-tasking and technological advancements (tele-conferencing), the word-man could not "hold a single oversight hearing because he was too busy running for president."

If he cannot walk and chew gum at the same time, how can he possibly walk on water!

"Obama noted he has only served as the committee's chairman since January of 2007" (Math January 2007 to February 2008 = 14 months o nonaction).

Word up

Obama has already stated that he has been running for President during this time period, as was Hillary. Barack has been doing it successfully. How many people heard of Barack last year when Hillary was the media sweetheart and the clear front runner? Today one of her superdelegates switched to Obama. Obama is picking up endorsements while Hillary complains about getting the questions first. I guess you all forgot about Texas where Obama went first. What is that I am hearing? Stand by folks. The fat lady is warming up.

OBAMA 08

We're right here Dolores. Looking at you Hillary supporters continue to dream. You know and America knows that Hillary's ship is now sinking. Tell me ONE accomplishment on her part?? Just ONE that YOU can name without looking it up.

Obama 08

Wait to go Hillary! You dig and you mud sling long enough your find something on anyone! By the way i hope you are taking meds for the problems you have, sometimes i feel like im seeing Brittney Spears you just cant make up your mind about anything.

Wow, all the Hillary wignuts are out in full force tonight. They must have left work early so that they could populate the message boards at CNN.

Perhaps an oversight meeting wasn't really necessary. Of course, Hillary would have had three, just for show. I wonder how much work Hillary's been able to accomplish lately since she's been pre-occupied with running a smear campaign against Obama.

She's barely done anything in NY as senator, but took the position in preparation for a presidential run. She should focus on getting her tax returns ready for public release.

Wow... not a single Obama supporter responds. Perhaps that's because she's commenting on policy in Afghanistan while hammering him for being the chairman of the European sub-committee. Do you even know where Afghanistan is? Answer: Middle East. Chairmen of the Middle East subcommittee: Senator Biden and Senator Kerry.

Report the truth CNN.

And his oversight committee represents the U.S. as "Part Of" the NATO orginization, not over NATO. Another play on words. Next she'll put out flyers to the African American community, that Obama rejected help from one their leaders (Farrakhan) too try and change the black vote, after she insisted he say reject vs denounce, then, she'll turn around and say to the Jewish community that he's a anti-semite, because he refused to reject the indorsement. Devisive? I would say so. But, that's her Politics I guess.

I CAN'T BELIEVE OBAMA HAS A POSITION ON A COMMITTEE TO HOLD MEETINGS AND TALK ABOUT NATO AND AFGANISTAN SINCE JANUARY 2007 AND HE SAYS HE'S BEEN TO BUSY TO HOLD ANY MEETING BECAUSE HE'S BEEN CAMPAINGING. IF HE CAN'T TAKE CARE OF HIS PRESENT DUTIES HOW CAN HE TAKE CARE OF OUR COUNTRY!!! THE MEDIA IS ALL ONE SIDED, HOW ABOUT REPORTING ON OBAMA LIKE YOU DO HILLARY. VOTERS DON'T LET THE MEDIA'S ONE SIDED REPORTED CHANGE YOUR VOTE WE NEED HILLARY TO GET US BACK ON TRACK. WE DO NEED CHANGE AND HILLARY'S THE ONE WHO CAN MAKE THIS CHANGE!!!

Is this the same HILLARY who is TOO BUSY w/her campaign to RELEASE HER TAX RETURNS AND FIRST LADY DOCUMENTS? This is the reason Hillary could never prevail – her heart is COLD!

HILLARY IS SELFISH – This was the SAME person who THREATENED to pull out of last night's debate because of the 'pimping her daughter' remark. How quick she forgets!

In the mean time, the whole time Hillary's been senator of New York, she hasn't done a thing for us New Yorkers. She's been gearing up for her campaign since she took office. Too busy to be a Senator.

OBAMA MUST FOLLOW HIS TIMING. MOMENTUM SO FAR IS WITH HIS CAMPAIGN. GIVE IT YOUR BEST SHOT !! I`LL PULL FOR YOU.
GILBERT

LONDON

Wow, Hillary is done. Put a fork in it. This is all you got. Shame shame shame

obama supporter is here. i see hilary is still reaching. wow. when will this end! i guess everyone is thinking he is too busy running for president. that is so funny! if he was busy running, then hilary would be in the lead.. anything to try and justify why he is in the lead!

Oh my God!

Can it be? Has CNN actually posted something honest, without spinning blame to the Clinton camp, that possibly highlights the "Chosen One"s weaknesses? It must be! Look, he'll walk on water next!

Hillary 2008: because let's face it, we want someone who'll talk, act, fix, solve, mediate, and demolish our problems.

Here in Houston we vote smart.

OBAMA for president he bring new generation to the vote, he is edge of change, Hilliary did not offer that, Hilliary Clinton promote NAFTA and take away many jobs in the country. she voted to invate Iraq, OBAMA don't, and she agree many things with this currenly administration and i don't see much different between Hilliary and McCain same policy. OBAMA for new direction for the country not Hilliary. OBAMA 08

Clinton is desperate. Obama has my vote.

what has hillary done since january 2007????

i agee where are all the obama people ? just another example of obama being all talk no action...... wake up america and realize that he is a fraud..... can we stop stop barack obama in ohio and texas? yes we can..............

This woman is losing this race, regardless of whether she wins Texas and Ohio. This is simple common sense and math.

Why are Hillary supporters and Hillary blaming just about everyone out there but her campaign managers and herself:

It's the media against Hillary
It's the Clinton haters against Hillary
It's the lovers of Monica Lewinsky against Hillary
It's the problem of being given the FISRT question each time.
It's becuase Obama copies Hillary's answers
It's because of that period of the month
It's because of not "meeting me in Ohio earlier for the debate."
It's because of not finding time to file my taxes

When is this ever going to stop? I care less about the positions of these candidates. I am interested in leadership that;

will restore the values and image of the U.S. to teh world
will make me feel proud at home and abroad
will give me real HOPE about the challenges that lie ahead
will BRING people together to solve real problems!!!

It's funny; every time Hillary starts a sentence with "You know...," she launches into some long, scripted diatribe that just flips the off-switch on any thinking person's ears. If she just tried being genuine and unscripted, just once, she might actually win a state that's left in this contest. Then again, it's probably way too late to undo the damage she's done to herself.

wow..the hillary supporters are sore loser..the guy is running for president..where is the time to do othere stuff..even your candidate hillary said she hardly get sleeps and refuse to reveal her tax returns.

When Hillary was asked about revealing her taxes/income/reports on herself, what did she say. Hello?

Hillary said, can't you see, I am TOO BUSY in a Presidential campaign.

Hillary, every time you try to discredit your opponent, the American people find out that all you were doing is trying to play gotcha. You are not presidential Hillary.

Another example, if you don't mind. Why did you say, if you become Senator of NY you will create hundreds of thousand of jobs WHEN YOU CAN'T? You LOST over 30,000 jobs. So how can you be ready Day 1.

Oh, and her answer as to why she didn't gain but rather lost jobs for the state was......oh, I thought Gore was going to be President.

IS THIS THE TYPE OF ANSWER HILLARY WILL GIVE AMERICA WHEN SHE DOESN'T GET THINGS DONE DAY 1?

I Denounce and reject Hillary!!!

Vote OBAMA '08

Hooray CNN !!!!! You are finally showing the other side of Obama.
His lack of responsibility to fulfill his commitments.
Perhaps, if the news media would have treated both of the Democratic candidates equally and fairly, Obama wouldn't have won so many states and the voters would have had the true picture of Obama. Let's hope the voters of the remaining states see the true Obama and vote for the more experienced candate – Hillary Clinton.

Obama is too busy to run for president, he have no time to attend the black union 2008, he is tooo busy for the power.

Obama, don't forget, black vote you at 90% rate!

Now, NATO members are not willing fight for the war, because this Chairman don't do the job, he is too busy for the power!

This is worst person in US election history.

If she can't control her campaign staff, has to loan herself money, and can't control her cheating husband then how can she run this country???

Oh my God!

Can it be? Has CNN actually posted something honest, without spinning blame to the Clinton camp, that possibly highlights the "Chosen One"s weaknesses? It must be! Look, he'll walk on water next!

Hillary 2008

Here in Houston we vote smart.

Ok i'll jump in. To be honest i think this tactic is quite shrewd (so applauds), i think that it is petty, and i think that people are no longer blind to underhanded political manuevering.

This "attack" is indicative of politics and that might never change.

Our rep around the world will improve "on day one" if we elect Obama.

Smart people for Obama 08.

Yeah, just like Hillary doesn't have time to show her taxes records...wonder why..Hillary isn't a leader she's a cry baby! Along with her lame Health care plan that will penalizes individuals if they can afford it...

Get Real Everybody!

Hillary says she does not even get enough sleep during campaigning, or time to turn in her own taxes!!! And you're all making this out to be a high crime for Obama! Please!

Why don't you ask Hillary how many hearings she's done in the last year?

I would really be curious as to just when Obama joined that committe. I think someone told him to get on it because they knew that he would be pushed on security issues and he needed something on his resume even if just for show. And besides why do you start something knowing full well you don't have the time to do it right. That is why I think it was all for show.

CNN, thats what people want –bringing in the issues and facts and not negativity and bashing .. thats what people voting need to take note of ...

Well, in the same debate, Hillary claimed she's too busy campaigning to find time to release her tax returns, and that she's even too busy campaigning to sleep. How exactly is Obama supposed to create the substantial amount of time it would take to hold formal hearings as the chairman of a Senate subcommitee?

If this is the best that Clinton's camp can come up with to argue that Obama would be an ineffective president, then they're falling way short of their goal.

Talk about attending to the needs of the country:

Hillary CANNOT find the TIME to file her INCOME tax?????? What a joke, it is like the pot calling the kettle black. This woman has no shame.

The Republicans, the Iranians (who have NO resepct for women leaders) and the Russians will eat this one up as fast as she lifts up her ugly attacks!!!

Obama has been touting this chairmanship as ACTION in his campaign. Now we hear the reality.

Washington as usual.

Right because instead he is suppose to not campaign so that Hillary can run for President. Nice one....but we're quite aware as to why this is and we're glad he did it considering because of it he will be the next President of the United States of America and can get back to those important issues rather than wasting time on Hillary attacks.

To Mark:

The usage of Barack's middlle name was only done to be derrogoatory. Do you honestly believe it was well intentioned?? Last time I checked, MOST people go by there first name. The IRRELEVANT fact that he shares a middle name with someone who strikes sensitivity with ceratin people is ludacris!!!!!! If Mr. Cunningham could learn to use the three functioning cells he has left in his neanderthal brain, perhaps he could use it to UNITE people instead of spreading false fears??? Hmmm....what people will do to get there 5 minutes of television space.

Ps I hear he will now be supporting your candidate.... HRC...

doesn't surprise me....one and the same.

OH MY GOD!!!!!!! OBAMA IS ABOUT TO DRIVE THE COUNTRY TO A DITCH!!!!!!!!!

CNN is now censoring Pro-Obama messages...it is cowering under pressure from the Clinton campaign....

I know about 50 Obama supporters who posted messages here but only the few chosen HRC supporters messages got approved..

Great way to live up to your name....Clinton News Network

"Obama is the real deal, when he becomes presedent he can make real changes from that position,
Hilary is all emotions too much of the same old thing lets have real change with Obama our leader,

So what has she done for New York since starting her run for President? What has Hillary done about Afghanistan? And why didn't she run for Senate in her home states of Illinois or Arkansas? Because she's an UNLIKEABLE, POWER-HUNGRY, PHONY, OPPORTUNISTIC CARPETBAGGER.

It's funny how all the Hillary supporters don't notice when a story is completely one-sided for their candidate. Not one word to explain this from Obama's side. Top notch work CNN.

HILLARY clinton will be the next best president we ever had she is a fine person we dont need a person like obama for president. hillary will get things done, obama want be able to get things done. so every body vote for one we can trust hillary clinton.

When Hillary was asked about revealing her taxes/income/reports on herself, what did she say.

Hillary said, can't you see, I am TOO BUSY in a Presidential campaign.

Hillary, every time you try to discredit your opponent, the American people find out that all you were doing is trying to play gotcha. You are not presidential Hillary.

Another example, if you don't mind. Why did you say, if you become Senator of NY you will create hundreds of thousand of jobs WHEN YOU CAN'T? You LOST over 30,000 jobs. So how can you be ready Day 1.

Oh, and her answer as to why she didn't gain but rather lost jobs for the state was......oh, I thought Gore was going to be President.

IS THIS THE TYPE OF ANSWER HILLARY WILL GIVE AMERICA WHEN SHE DOESN"T GET THINGS DONE DAY 1?

I Denounce and reject Hillary!!!

Vote OBAMA '08

NATO may have some jurisdiction over Afghanistan, however, how many NATO states want to pull out of Afghanistan. Even our fabulous neighbors to the north want to pull out of Afghanistan due to the chaos, and I'd add lack of American focus and directedness in Afghanistan.

Pointing to Obama's lack of pushing for an increased NATO involvement in Afghanistan does not erase the fact that Hillary has supported major military efforts in Iraq at the expense of Afghanistan. And even though NATO is a force at play, clearly the United States has an obligation as a state alone, to follow through on it's military intervention in Afghanistan, regardless of NATO. And though the subcommittee has jurisdiction over NATO, it does not have jurisdiction over other sovereign NATO states. You can't get blood from a turnip.

Moreover, we haven't even had an immensely important debate about the existence of NATO and what this means. NATO mandate focused on countering the power of the Soviet Union and protecting Europe from an attack by communist Russia. Well, the Soviet Union fell, it's mandate is fulfilled. I'd like leaders to explain to me the legitimacy of an organization that has "fulfilled" it's mandate. (And yes, I am aware of the realist political rhetoric and US desire for military presence in Europe arguments).

This argument is pretty weak. No, Obama is not an ideal candidate for president, yes the media gives him a free ride, but Hillary doesn't even seem to be able to measure up to her own standards, which makes her hypothetical general election campaign fairly distressing.

1.) "Barack Obama does not have the experience to run this nation"
Obama's years in elected office:11+
Hillary: 7+
2.) "I will be ready on day one"
Sorry Hillary, but your election campaign has been the epitome of unpreparedness for the competition.
3.) "I can go 'toe to toe' with any republican candidate"
Not according to matchup polls you can't
4.) "Barack Obama is the king of the 'present' vote"
Yup, it was a good thing Hillary's been there to vote on all the important bills, like FISA and...oops
5.) "Barack Obama hasn't fulfilled his duties at a chairman of a senate committee"
Because you've made so much progress in your committee during the election, right?

Get a functioning campaign and some arguments that stick and maybe I'll reconsider my vote, ok Hil'?

BINGO...We all know it is easier to "critique" than it is to "act"....Barak should finish out his term as IL Senator to take more time to plan and hold the meetings for his current position. Let's not kid ourselves....politics is a game.... and always will be... Let's elect the one who has actually played the game a few times!

Keep showing America the truth Hillary!

When I was younger I would buy the cereal that LOOKED the coolest, only to find out it tasted like all other cereals with no decent flavor or nutrients. That is how Obama is with all the young voters and others in his camp. That is all he is: crappy cereal in a cool box.
Believe me there is a stock pile of ammo Hillary can use against "free media's" choosen king, but if she even uses it to her advantage she is a cleverly portraid as a b%!@h. CNN focused on racism for a whole freaking mounth, never mentioning sexism.
Remember folks, black men were given citizenship and the right to vote way before women were even considered.
I'm with you Hillary and so in Ohio, we look past the box.

You Hillary supporters never fail to amaze me. Laughing my head off seeing you all jumping over this. Has Hillary held any inquiry while campaigning? What is the difference between holding a meeting and conducting an inquiry on europe? What is the present state of Americas relationship with Europe? Did the pollsters say that Hillarys base are mostly uneducated?

Hmm no Obama supporters? Interesante.......

This is exactly the reason he's not ready to be president. He's skated by in the senate with little accomplishments and now he's using the excuse that he was running for the presidency? Sorry, buddy, but you still have a job to do and you're expected to do it. Why haven't you used the power granted to you in the senate to enact change? If change was that important you would have made as much change as you possibly could using your senate seat.

You need to stay in the senate for the rest of your term, THEN if you win re-election you can think about running for president (and hopefully by then you will have held a meeting with the committee that you chair).

OBAMA is the best leader and president for the country. Hilliary and Bill didn't do much during their present in the white house. we need new change, direction, not same old folk same family and same policy in the white house.

Just which subcommittees does Hillary Clinton chair and how many meetings has she held since January 2007?

Americans are all confused.when a society ignores the voices of its people,for the so caLL EXPERIENCE THAT HAS GOT US NO WHERE,then we can say we are no longer a democray,only vague and empty patiotism is left in us.By the time Hilary change her position again and keep us in Iraq for the next decade,we,ll all start seeking asylum in MEXICO.
The husband used Our White house as his motel,the clionton family should hide their faces,at list for this generation.

"where are all the Obama people on this one?"

Obama people are looking at November and McCain. Your girl is irrelevant at this point. She quoted an SNL skit last night for crying out loud. Done.

Um, didn't Hillary use that same excuse in the debate, "I have been too busy running for president," as an excuse for not having disclosed her tax returns yet?

So he has to forget about running office as the president of the USA and hold hearings huh!!! You clinton supporters are the most senseless group of animals i've ever heard speak. So ask yourself, how did he actually get to be the chairman of that committee? I guess by doing nothing? No. he must've been playing an important role in that organisation. You do not expect him to abandon his campaign all because of some hearing.

Please keep pressing on this issue CNN.

I agree with Dolores... where are all the Obama people?

Good questions, Dolores... I think the Obama people aren't worried about it. We're voting for HIM.. because we trust his judgment and because we think he has the best shot at accomplishing his goals. I don't care about whether he went to any of the meetings of this-or-that committee. I like him. He's a politician, but I trust him more than I've trusted any other one, especially Hillary. The way she tap danced around the tax return question last night sealed it for me. They both have good agendas, I just think Barack will do a better job. If for no other reason, just look at his demeanor. He has hardly flinched or gone off course this whole campaign. He is not perfect, but he's certainly consistant. She's all over the map and has sorely mismanaged her campaign. Not a good start.

by the same token, Hillary failed to vote on a ban on the FISA spy bill when she was in the Washington D.C. area...because she was running for president.

WHY IS OBAMA NOT GETTING THE SAME TREATMENT WHEN IT COMES TO NOT HOLDING MEETINGS ON SOMETHING AS IMPORTANT AS THIS MATTER. IF THIS HAD BEEN HILLARY THE NEWS MEDIA WOULD HAVE TAKEN HER TO THE CLEANERS.

Obama should be held accountable since he was the Chair and this neglect shows he has no leadership but is self-centered and only concerned about his interest and not the interest of the country. This is just one example of what he would do for Americans so people go out and VOTE for HILLARY.

Dolores, that's why Hillary has less supporters.
Hillary, you hypocrite supported the war

Obama 08

CNN, SHOW MY COMMENT PLEASE

Oh come on people. The problems of his term have nothing to do with him being an idiot or not. It has to do with the horrible neocon policies that he endorsed.

Barack is a smart guy. a graduate level teacher, even. And his policies are sensible, not the counterproductive looting policies of Bush and his cronies. There's no chance that he's going to be "another Bush-thinking person."

If Obama has been too busy running for office and it is not understandable nor accpetable for him to have a high profile meeting...so is it okay for Hillary to not take the time to release her tax returns because she is too busy running for office. What requires more work and time?

dolores, the obama people are just tired of the senseless bickering. this isn't even worth the fight. if you're "for hillary," you see it one way, if your "for obama" you see it another way.
let's go find something more constructive to do with our time.
calls for obama!

Was Hillary for NAFTA before she was against it?

C'mon, her mud throwing just doesn't stick and she seems lost in the wilderness.

Like a bipolar person, one moment she's nice, the next she goes into a tirrade.

Anyway...

Clinton is desperately grasping for straws.

I honestly don't see what the big deal is, he hasn't held any hearings because he's busy campaigning. He thinks that he can do more good in the white house than in the Senate, otherwise he wouldn't be running for President in the first place.

WHY DO YOU ONLY SHOW NEGATIVE COMMENTS FROM YOUR TV LISTNERS ON HILLARY. I CAN'T BELIEVE YOU HAVEN'T NOTICE THE DEBATES WHEN OBAMA IS READING HIS COMMENTS AND HILLARY IS ACTUALLY TALKING TO THE PUBLIC. EVERYONE WHO IS FOR HER ONLY HAS TO LISTEN TO YOU GUYS TO KNOW THAT YOU FAVOR OBAMA. NO THE MEDIA IS NOT FAIR. I HAVEN'T MADE UP MY MIND YET HOW I WILL VOTE,BUT ITS NOT FOR YOUR PROGRAM. LOU IS A LOT MORE PRECISE THAN YOU ARE ON THE ISSUES. KY. GIRL

When it comes to the issues, OBAMA has kept silent. So do his supporters. "SHAME ON YOU ALL"

Damon,

Obama is the chair of the senate subcommittee on Europe.

He's supposed to call the meetings and set the agenda. It's been over a year and he has yet to do anything!

Word, just words.

This says it all!! Obama is all talk and no action. ... "too busy campaigning" ... what a cop out.

When Hillary was asked about revealing her taxes/income/reports on herself, what did she say?

Hillary said, can't you see, I am TOO BUSY in a Presidential campaign. I can't be doing all these other things.

Hillary, every time you try to discredit your opponent, the American people find out that all you were doing is trying to play gotcha. You are not presidential Hillary.

Another example, why did you say, if you become Senator of NY you will create hundreds of thousand of jobs WHEN YOU CAN'T? You LOST over 30,000 jobs. So how can you be ready on Day 1?

I Denounce and Reject Hillary!!!

Vote OBAMA '08

You so- called Democrats kill me! you say that if Hillary isn't the nominee, then you will vote for McCain. The party doesn't need bandwaggon Democrats. Take your 'sorry excuse for a Democrat' arses to the Republican side because we'd be better without you anyways!!

Did anybody see where Hillary promised the state of NY 200,000 new jobs and that there's been a total of 33,000 jobs lost??? Talk about empty promises. If she's president, at that rate, half of the country would be unemployed by her first term!!

Obama 08'

Go hillary!!!!!

We all know that he is all talk. The media was kind to him and he could do no wrong. As Chairman of a sub-comittee on Europe that has influences on NATO actions, and yet he didn't take his responsibility as he should. How can we trust his all talk and no action now? Wake up America before it's too little too late. Ohio and Texas, you can change the wrong.

Dolores...Perhaps the Obama people are being censored (I have yet to have one of my posts actually get posted, even though I've submitted when there were zero posts made at the time).

Until you observe how DC politics work (the everyday life), be careful to criticize Obama for this. It is perfectly reasonable that a candidate who has low recognition needs to spend 10 times the amount of time campaigning. Hillary is a household name and because Obama has focued on meeting with people in this campaign he is winning.

Go Hillary ! you rock! let the people vote not the media decide our minds! we love you and no matter what they say no one would make usa a better country then you. I'm a white male guy how's that! I got no problem with a woman the guys in my work that have a problem are all weak and insecure with themselves. like there manhood will be replaced. Go Hillary you rock!!!!

Interesting the one Obama supporter on this blog. I love it....it's petty to expect someone to perform their responsibilities? Ok, it's sleepy time, you can go back to bed now Damon.

At least he made it to the FISA vote. Selfish desperation is not helping the Democratic party or the American people. It's time for superdelegates to close the bar before the damage gets more expensive.

This is kind of off subject but I ask this question in all honesty and am not trying to start a debate. I know both Obama and Hilary want out of Iraq but they both support the war in Afghanistan because we want to stop Al Queda and support a new democracy there; those are the same two reasons why I support staying in Iraq and John McCain. Can someone who supports one of the two democratic candidates and therefore probably is against the war in Iraq please tell me why they continue to support the war in Afghanistan but not Iraq?

Thanks

Nobody cares this is so so petty.

"Dolores
where are all the Obama people on this one?"

to answer your question Dolores, CNN is editing out all the Obama comments so far.

The Obama people are watching his numbers and donations go up. Nobody has time for this but Hillary's frantic supporters. Have you notice that John McCain is going after Obama and not Hillary. Have fun posting yourselves. Bye Bye

Perhaps we should talk about the fact that she promised to create 200 000 new jobs in Buffalo THREE years ago and has not fulfilled her promise to the extent that there is a net LOSS of 30 000 jobs.

Yes, let's talk about that promise!!!!

Hmmm, 230 000 jobs gone in Buffalo alone. Thanks for your service Senator Clinton! It's been a great help.

To answer Delores' question on where the Obama people are-

Weer n ur puter, laffin at u n ur candidate.

Best go check the Congress website and see if ANY meetings have been held. He said he hadn't held any about Afghanistan, not about anything at all. Go check, then get back to me, k?

wow did you people jump all over this one lol . You people just don't get it people want a change .We are suffering from Clinton fatigue and want Obama .

Now she is saying the press is biased . When Bill started to attack J.D. Roberts was on CNN talking about the latest round in the feud between the "Clinton's" and the "obama's" . Funny I didn't hear Michele call Hillary's campaign a "fairy tale" .

Barrack will blow her out big time Tues. its over

Dolores:

The Obama people aren't here because there is nothing to slam Hillary about. This is 100% true and they have to hide from it.

This is not a new issue. If you listne to the debates he tlaks about all he has sponsored in the senate yet you cannot find a single bill that has his nname as anything other than a supporter.
The record is clear- he was an activist. He was a state legislator who had time to write a book and run for US Senate in the few years he was there and now hee is a US Senator that has had time to write yet another book and promote it and plan a campaign he admits started in January 2007. When has he done his job as a Senator?
He is the chairman of a subcommittee? It's seems to be an empty chair.
What will he do as President except meet with world leaders and run for re-election? And just what wil that third book be about anyway?
I am old enough to remeber both Kennedy's and Mr Obama you are not John (or Robert) Kennedy!

Hillary failled miserably on healthcare after 8yrs as co-president. Now, its her big-deal case! Obama has not help meetings on Europe in the senate after roughly a year of chairing that committe..big deal? He's not been doing anything less during that period either, Europe is just fine now.. the Euro is much more valuable than our dollar. He's running to take power from Bush-McCain so that with the authority of the president, Americans can work to take back the American Dream! Get your priorities right Billarians!

Why do all of the presidential candidates tell us all of the ideas they will enact when they become president, but, none have tried any of these while in Congress. Should we not look at their past record of voting to see where they stand, instead of words that go nowhere. Obama is blasted for his lack of issue stand in Illinois, Clinton argues that she has " leadership skills", but, held no security clearance or had any hand in her husbands work. McCain has actually been in the military & may understand it better, but, since being a POW, he puts TOO much emphasis on the war, to tell us what else he may do. Let's broaden the issues & what can actually be done & why they think we shoulld elect them. SHOW us why your different. SHOW us why you would be the better choice.

This is a mistake by obama.He should haveactivated his committee.

But these committees are driven by a process, almost a standard process.If one checks closely, one will see very little difference between this and other similar committees.And Mrs.Clinton knows this.

and hillary is the chairperson of what commiteeor sub-, and has held how many hearings?

Perhaps we should talk about the fact that she promised to create 200 000 new jobs in Buffalo THREE years ago and has not fulfilled her promise to the extent that there is a net LOSS of 30 000 jobs.

Yes, let's talk about that promise...

I find it interesting that Senator Clinton said that she didn't have enough time to arrange for the release of her tax returns (which I presume isn't done by her in person), yet she and her supporters blame Senator Obama for beeing busy on his Campaign for the past two months. But you know what, she probably thinks that if he would have gave more time to that committee, she would have done better in the last 11 primaries.

where are all the Obama people?

voting

Hillary Clinton may be very educated, but she is hardly the kind of stateswoman we want to represent us at home and abroad. She is not to be trusted. She will stop at nothing to get into the White House again, even if she has to illicit sympathy.

If Obama misses an opportunity to get something done in order to focus on something else of similar importance, there is no reasone why he cannot delegate. That's what management is all about.

Hillary may be bright, but her personality is certainly not suited for president of a great country like the USA.

I Can't wait to see what he DOESN'T do as president if he makes it that far!!! GO HILLARY!!!!!

Perhaps we should talk about the fact that she promised to create 200 000 new jobs in Buffalo THREE years ago and has not fulfilled her promise to the extent that there is a net LOSS of 30 000 jobs.

Yes, let's talk about that promise.

"ALL TALK" seems to be the talking point here, I'm guessing a lot of freepers pretending to be for Hillary.

Just go away freepers.

Politics is not Arithmetic ... It's Chemistry.

Wait Til Obamas' Campaign Report Comes Out This Month ...

1 , 0 0 0 , 0 0 0 + Donors .......... and the Month is Not Over.

Maybe Senator Clinton Can Head Up That Committee With All the Free Time She's Going to Have Soon. For 35 Years of Riding On Her Husbands Name ... You'd Think She Would Know How N-O-T to Mis-Manage Funds and Run a Campaign Into the Ground.

I'm Sure She's Happy to Have You Folks. After All ... Who Else Is Going To D-o-n-a-t-e Their Money So She Can Get Back the Money She L-O-A-N-E-D her Campaign.

(And Then You Folks Say Obama is the One "Selling a Dream" .... Yea Right ...

Damon, the fact is he has convened NO policy hearings since he took over as its chairman last January.

Obama could have examined a wide variety of urgent matters, from the role of NATO in Afghanistan and Iraq to European energy policy and European responses to climate change - and of course, the undermining of the foundations of the Atlantic alliance by the Bush administration. There is, indeed, almost no issue of current global interest that would have fallen outside the subcommittee's purview.

I think that this at least points up the conflict between ambition and experience and has raised questions about his candidacy for me.

Damon,
He is the chair and has not held a meeting. Meetings generally do not take place without the head (chair).

Hold on,

Didn't she say that she couldnt release her taxes because she was too busy running for president?

Yes, she did.

So if she's too busy to do that, then why isnt his a valid excuse? He has never claimed to have held meetings or dispatched NATO. He has never used his chairmanship as "experience", so I don't see an issue here.

"ALL TALK" seems to be the talking point here, I'm guessing a lot of freepers pretending to be for Hillary.

Let me answer you with this:

In 8 years in Illinois Senate Obama has sponsored and cosponsored over 820 bills.

in 4 years in the US Senate Obama has offered 152 bills and has cosponsored 427 bills.

I would put the detailed bill breakdown, but the darn CNN wont post them. What is up with that.

There is no doubt and there should be no surprise that presidential candidates have no time to do their job as usual while running for president.
I wonder how much Clinton has accomplished in the past 12 months. I would venture to say "not much".

I admit I am very excited about the Obama campaign, although, I'm not yet committed to either Dem candidate. Tell me, though, what chairmanships does Hillary hold and what have they accomplished over the same time period, say January 2007? This is an honest question, as I can still be persuaded

Hillary asked last night at the debate why she is always asked the questions first....MSnbc doesn't understand why!!!! I'll tell you why....Hillary wants the news media to asked him the questions first so America can see Obama can't really answer complicated questions....He needs Hillary to answer first then that gives him feedback as to what to say....He comes back with 'I agree with Hillary" Well I hope the news media looks back at some of the debates and see what we have all been seeing.....Hilllary.... answer the question then Obama knows what to say....HELLO anyone home...GO HILLARY GO

Look who's talking!!
Yesterday during the debate u stated being too busy with your campaign is on the reasons why u don't release your tax return yet !!! r u kidding us?
so u do know something about campaign business !!!
Nobody is perfect, I am not disapproving anything this article is saying about Obama. However, he's definitely more trustful and sincere than u, u and dirty politics are synonym.
Dear Hillary, you'd rather win Texas and Ohio next week otherwise u are done !!!

Didn't she say that she couldnt release her taxes because she was too busy running for president?

Yes, she did.

So if she's too busy to do that, then why isnt his a valid excuse? He has never claimed to have held meetings or dispatched NATO. He has never used his chairmanship as "experience", so I don't see an issue here.

This is another last ditch effort by Hillary to try to deflect the incompetent campain that she running.

During the debate Obama responded to that. He stated that he only became chair at the beginning of this presidential campaign. It is not like he was the chair his entire time in the Senate. Hillary knows that and I am sure that Obama will once again reply to her and make it blow up in her face like he always does.

Some of you Hillary supporter are laughable in your responses. Ignoring all of Hillary's faults. I love how she said in the debate last night how she was always critical of NAFTA and the the truth was revealed and she did not have a response. She was praising it as recent as 2004.

Stick a fork in her. She is done.

Hillary scored last night and many other times, as an experienced, dedicated candidate but you sure wouldn't know that through the reporting by the media. Meanwhile Obama, neglecting his primary job - that of being a Senator, continues to get rave reviews from the media. Not kosha guys!

Shame on the media. If you don't think the general public is not aware of what's going on with the media's lopsided support for Obama, you're not very bright. The media is making it very clear who they want for President and in doing so you damage a democratic process which is already fragile.

Shame on you. What a disservice you do to this country.

HILLARY - HANG IN THERE NO MATTER WHAT. YOU'VE GOT THE RIGHT STUFF!

Finally, CNN you see the light!!! There is FINALLY transparency in Barach!!!

Hillary is the most prepared and a fighter.....for all of us!!

Thank you CNN.....I have hope for you yet!!

Cheers to our gal Hillary!! You go girl!

Care to tell me the last time Senator Clinton attended an Armed Services Committee meeting or where she was on the TelCom vote, when she ran out of town before the vote? Careful Clinton quacks...this is a loaded question!!!

Next week will not get her fast enough to put an end to the Clinton Silly Season of Politics...Texas and Ohio, please end it for her and send her back to Carpet bag in New York!!!

These real times require REAL LEADERSHIP AND JUDGEMENT from DAY 1 – VOTE OBAMA!!!

Sorry Hill, but this approach isn't going to do much for your campaign either. It like he's rubber and you're glue. Bye Hill.

Wow! Sounds like all you Clintonites are running scared. Give me a list of the things that Hillary has done since she started running for president.

When he is elected in November maybe he will offer the chairmanship position to Clinton, since she won't have anything else to do and seems so concerned about it.

I can't wait until Tuesday when he shuts her down in Ohio and Texas. Polls already show that he is only 6 points behind her in Pennsylvania as of today. Only a couple of weeks ago she was ahead by like 20 points, and he hasn't even set foot in PA yet.

Sounds like a familiar trend, doesn't it?

Seriously, who wants to listen to this woman for four whole years every single day whining and complaining? Not this woman, not me.

Obama 08'

Damon, you are so wrong on this – check out what some of the European newspapers are saying about this – they are surprised that he hasn't set foot in Europe since he became chairman. This from a man who talks about "healing the world", what a great way to be forging the alliances he would need as President if he is serious about Afghanistan.

NATO troops serving in Afghanistan are under real pressure. Some countries aren't pulling their weight – USA, Canada and UK troops are taking all the hits, and we need leadership to persuade the other countries to let their soldiers engage against the taliban and to increase their numbers. If Obama is flaky on this, a vital position, it doesn't indicate that he takes the responsibilities he already has very seriously – it certainly shows that we shouldn't be giving him any more. Don't try and excuse the inexcusable.

Right here, Dolores. Present and accounted for.

This stuff is so "inside-baseball", as they say. This is what grasping at straws looks like, folks. I don't dislike Hillary, but her campaigning needs a lot of work.

It's not good that he hasn't had a hearing, but I'm not so sure this is as big of a deal as the Clinton supporters here seem to think. Also, it's not as if she doesn't have her holes on the legislative front – Obama's legislative accomplishments in his short time in the U.S. Senate are more voluminous and significant than hers have been. (And I voted for her in New York in 2000.)

Take a page from a famous actor, and GO HOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!WE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!CAN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

OBAMA TODAY
OBAMA TOMORROW
OBAMA 08

I can't believe you people that are actually stating that this is a "good point, Hillary." Are you kidding me? That is a weak argument. Hillary wants to bash Obama for not holding a hearing because he was "too busy running for President", but yet she used the same excuse for not turning over her tax returns. Thank you.

we've seen already how he will put everything aside except his running for the presidency. and then they say Hillary is power monger.

obama is just for him.

OMG..CNN calling Obama out and then posting pro Hillary comments.

THE SKY MUST BE FALLING!!!!!!!!!!!

The media has refused to tell Americans who Barak Obama is and what he has done that would make Americans believe he would bring the change Americans are looking for. The media wants to nominate and elect Obama at the expense American people. If Obama wins the nomination, i will vote for Ralph Nader in general election. No Hillary no democrat in the white house come 2009. Go Hillary. You are the solution.

To Dolores, the Obama people are out on the campaign trail! I will NEVER vote for clinton but i have to say she has a point here. I would just like to know how many oversights/accomplishments she has made on the arms services committee since january of 2007. and while u are at it, can you name any of her accomplishments as a senator.

I am not for Obama either, just an indepenent who wanted Edwards to win. PLEASE CNN, POST THIS.

Thank You LOU DOBBS!!!! At least someone in CNN can see how the media has been so unfair to Hillary.. I have been posting comment after comment about Media bias. I will say though that msnbc has really been worse than others. Shame, shame ,shame, doesn't the media realise Hillary does have supporters

YEAH CLINTON SUPPORTERS! NOT.. OBAMA WAS TO BUSY LIKE CLINTON IS TO BUSY TO DO HER TAX RETURNS.... ANSWER THAT PLEASE.

Didn't Hillary fail to appear for the FISA vote? Whereas Obama made time to go vote on it?

What else has Hillary been neglecting on Capitol Hill while she's been out stumping the vote?

And yet she couldn't even bother to stop campaigning to return to Washington and vote for removing the telecom immunity language from a bill. If that's not enough, she's currently too busy to release income tax returns. This sounds more than slightly hypocritical.

Dolores – caught in moderation purgatory.

He started chairing that committee in January of 2007, right when he started his campaign. He will do more for NATO and Afganistan when he becomes President. If Hillary drops out a race she won't win he can take some time to hold a meeting while gearing up for McCain.

The media is having a love affair with Obama. They ask tough, critical questions of other candidates and almost stir things up to make them look worse. On the other hand, they jump to Obama's aid when anyone says anything against him.

Hillary has highlighted MAJOR differences in their plans, policies and proven record of accomplishments. Now, she has provided information regarding Obama's do-nothing activity on his actual job in the Senate. His excuse that he has ONLY been chair of the committee since January 2007 is lame. That is OVER a year ago. He is about getting IN to office, not about doing the job.

Hillary waited, when she had an opportunity to run in 2004 because she had committed to completing that first term in office. She did, and was re-elected. She is the one who honors commitments.

When the smoke and mirrors are lifted, will we have "elected" just an ordinary person who looks pretty and talks nicely?

Look again at Hilleray Clinton's character. See how many faces she shows. , if you trust her, you can not be serious!!

Dear Obama...go run a meeting, if you can handle that, maybe I'll vote for you.

If not, GO HILLARY!

Sen. Clinton is chair of the Senate Subcommittee on Superfund and Environmental Health. She took that over in January 2007, the same time that Obama took over the European Subcommittee.

So, how many hearings has Sen. Clinton's subcommittee held? Three. Two of them called by Wingnut Jim Inhofe. How many of those three hearings in 13 months has Sen. Clinton attended? One.

Perhaps she's been busy running for President...

What has Hillary done?

Obama has often used full committee hearings to express his opposition to the Iraq war or his concern about the Bush administration's policy toward Iran.

In January 2007, he sharply questioned Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice on why the U.S. wouldn't consider a drawing down U.S. troops if inaction by the Iraqi government continued. Later that month, he voted for a committee proposal to condemn President Bush's plans to increase troops strength in Iraq as "not in the national interest."

"We are past the point where we can simply take it on good faith from the president that this will work," he said of the president's troop buildup.

He proposed separate legislation that would have required troop withdrawals to begin that spring. Later that year, he introduced a measure intended to prevent a potential conflict with Iran. But like many of the anti-war proposals on Capitol Hill, neither measure received a vote.

In another committee hearing, Obama voiced skepticism about Biden's suggestion that the Baghdad government could achieve peace by giving more autonomy to its provinces, which are divided along sectarian lines.

The question is whether "we should be initiating (strategy), as opposed to letting that unfold as a consequence of us putting more pressure on the Iraqis to figure out their problems," Obama said.

I am black and Obama supporter but I find it very offensive for the way Obama supporters plus the medis especially CNN has manipulated to damage what the Clintons have done for this country and as that matter black.
Let's be frank, I won't like to have a president, who will abandon his duty for the country because he has to be on the road to campaign for re-election.
Obama has to get his act together and do the right thing for the country rather than making unnecessary excusses for everything he does or he will lose my vote.

One of the reasons I support Obama is his principle that "He will not engage in dirty politics."

All Hillary can do is try to produce negative images of Obama, and it's not going to work. Barrack will stay true to focusing on the people of the United States need in a president.

As Obama says, "It's silly season in politics now."

Keep up with the negative campaign, Hillary, it's not going to work.

Look who's talking!!
Yesterday during the debate u stated being too busy with your campaign is on the reasons why u don't release your tax return yet !!! r u kidding us?
so u do know something about campaign business !!!
Nobody is perfect, I am not disapproving anything this article is saying about Obama. However, he's definitely more trustful and sincere than u, u and dirty politics are synonym.
Dear Hillary, you'd rather win Texas and Ohio next week otherwise u are done !!!

Why don't we see how much Clinton has accomplished in the Senate in the last year? Obama has done more in his tenure than she has. He also served two terms in the Illinois state Senate and accomplished much there. His has been able to bring transparency to government and has beefed up ethics. He voted on the very important telecommunications bill while campaigning and Hillary was in Washington on that day but didn't show up to vote. I think he can bring about more change by becoming President. Also, you don't know what plans he has for this when he does have more power.

Damon please, regardless of his running for president, he still has responsibilities. Hillary is still doing her job, why can't her? More and more he is showing he is all talk and no action, that is a form of action to take to back up his talk, but he hasn't done it.

I am praying for you Hillary, cause if Obama gets the nod, we are in trouble.

i was choking on laughter??????????? when the question regarding russia came up the guy had no clue which by the way is not the end of the world because they barely have time to sleep. But what was sad was that he pretended to have known even though his eyes begged her to anwser . He nicely agrees as he usually does and then adds another bush jab which automatically makes everyone happy.
I've given up on the media for awhile now I too watched every moment of each debate and for someone not to realize that it would be inhumane for hillary not to be frustrated is simply naive.

I have no problem with obama as a human being or race issue he seems like a good guy my problem with him is much more serious.
He's saying i'm superior to all of you my politics are new and we don't do sleazy. The clinton campaign has pointlessly pointed out that he flip flops and is all talk and very little substance but instead of being examined they get criticized and clinton degraded.

All hat...no cattle... SHAME ON YOU, BARACK OBAMA

Who cares about a meeting about a meeting.

running for president does take a lot of time and he has only been the chairman for a year so why are people surprised?

OBAMA 08!!!!!

Now that we have had all the posting from the Clinton campaign. Lets ask how much has Hill done in the past 6 or 7 months I have looked and its a lot of "hat and no cattle". A vote for Hillary is a vote for the same old thing! Give dream a chance VOTE OBAMA!!!!!!

GLAD TO HEAR CNN REPORT THE DEBATE WAS ONE SIDED AND NOT FAIR TO MRS CLINTON

I am tired of democrats saying "I will vote for McCain if Hillary isn't the nominee". Obama and Hillary overlap on majority of their issues. And do you even know McCain's agenda?? Bombing Iran, staying 100 years in Iraq, no knowledge of the economy so a sure recession, wishing leaders of other countries die and I could go on and on – Is that what you want?

Well lets stop the bickering and head to the polls on March 4th, if you are a HRC supporter you vote for her and if you are an Obama supporter you vote for him. Even if Obama had all the credentials in the world people would still of complained. The question we need to ask is how much experience does one need to run the white house. If you are comfortable voting for HRC then go ahead, if you want Obama vote for him. Lets just keep this civil and then unite

Way to go Lou Dobbs! Just heard a minute or so blurb from you about this! I know I'll be watching at 7:00! Sen. Obama needs to answer this question, along with many others that haven't been approached with yet. You know, he DOES need to be handled with kid gloves.

And FINALLY... Lou Dobbs validates the fact that Hillary Clinton got the short end of the stick at the debate last night.

Take that all you Hillary haters who seem to be pretty slim on this post. Wonder why?

Obama wanted to beef up his resume without doing the work.
I call this more hot air.

And yet she couldn't even bother to stop campaigning to return to Washington and vote for removing the telecom immunity language from a bill. If that's not enough, she's currently too busy to release income tax returns. This sounds more than slightly hypocritical.

Hillary said in the same debate she's too busy campaigning to release her own tax information, or other documents from her time as First Lady. She knows how wrapped up a person can get in the campaign. And obviously they should both place their Senate commitments as top priorities, but it doesn't appear either one is doing that. Hillary has missed important Senate business while on the campaign trail, too.

Amazing criticism from a woman who is apparently too busy running for President to have time to find her tax return and release it...

This is very old news. So why didn't HRC pounce on BO from day 1 of the campaign. One would think that 'making/influencing' change is more important than just talking about it. If HRC loses, it certainly won't be because she wasn't qualified. Worst job of campaign managing I've ever seen in my 65 years of life. Hope we won't regret it like we did with Gore and say that HRC would have made a great president years from now.

All the Obama people (such as myself) are tired of responding to the petty things the Ms. Clinton always focuses on. I figured she would start grasping at something else. I'm through with talking about a Kindergarten 60 year old woman.

Hillary.....Time for a nap!!!!! You have yet to choose what personality you will show up with!! GET REAL!!!

You are far from being presidential; Your knowledge on foreign relations is minimal at best and what little you do you have has accomplished what???

Why don't you stick to the issues.....better yet just keep doing what your doing by pestering Barack with your childish and non substansive comments...you'll find what your looking for....a front row seat at President Barack Obama's inauguration.

OBAMA 08/12

All this talk about Hillary being so great and nothing to back it up with. Pot calling the kettle.

My goodness, it looks like all of the Hillary supporters are about to start stomping their little feet, and holding their collective breath 'til they all turn blue. But, it will all be to no avail. Hillary Clinton represents an age and a style of politics that's being swept into the trash can where it belongs. Her most recent display of grasping at straws, is merely part of the death rattle of her misguided campaign. The failure of these sorts of campaign tactics proves that she, and her remaining supporters have completely missed the point. She hasn't got a clue what Americans are yearning for, and she fails to see that it's exactly her type of "experience" that has no place in the future.

has your opponent Hillary learned anything from the last two debates. She got booed not once, but twice. That should tell you people something.

I would like to pose this question:

Has anyone stop to think how two people can divide a nation? I'll tell you why. If this race would have stayed positve -we would all be cheering on our candidate and not doing all this bickering. BUT, thanks to Sillary Hillary, she just can run a positve campaing based on her record. If she has so much eperience, why doesn't she just talk about that. Why does she fell the need to be petty all the time.

This would fall into the category of- THings that make you go HMMMM.

HILLARY RELEASE YOUR TAX RETURNS!

Amazing, only ONE comment from an Obama supporter and he doesn't even make a good case. Obama needs to be continually called out on this sort of thing. "Too busy running for the Presidency" is not a good excuse. If you were "too busy running for re-election" when a terrorist attack happened, would you just leave it to others to deal with?

Clinton has shown too much erratic behavior (outbursts against Obama during her rallies but nice and calm during debates) where as observing Obama, he maintains a calm demeanor during his rallies and during the debate. Another point – experience in the govt. is not necessarily the best indicator of success, a calm head is needed during these times. Observe Clinton as this race continues and I'd wager that her demeanor deteriorates. If she can't handle the stress of running for President, who says she can handle the stress of being President. More importantly, make sound judgements that will bring us out of the various messes we are in.

You know what? You win!
Obama didn't hold an inquiry into Afganistan while he was a chair on this committee, and by definition (sarcasm in case you didn't get it) he would lead the country into the dirt because he can only talk and not deliver.

I think I captured the gist of what you are saying. But really.
What does Hillary have to show for herself over the last 18 months or so? not much
What is the difference between thier issues? not much
What is the difference between how they act? TONS!!

If Obama wins the nomination, I'll vote for McCain. I am a democrat and I am Black. However, I don't think that Obama is ready to be the president. This country has so many problems that need to be addressed and I don't think that Obama is ready. If he had Hillary's experience, then I'd vote for him. But, he's not ready to take on what will probably be the hardest presidency in many years. No amount of touchy feely pep talk is going to change that. We should be voting for the most qualified person and it's just that simple. I've always thought McCain was an okay guy. Yes, he's Republican, but he's an Arizona republican, which is pretty moderate. I'm a pretty moderate democrat and so I don't think we differ that much. Most importantly, the democrats lost the last two elections to a guy that is totally incompetent. I do not want the first Black president to fail. Not to mention, I don't want the next democratic president to fail because if she/he does, then we'll never get the office back because Republicans will go on and on about how it's the democrats fault for all the problems. I'd rather suffer for four more years and get a chance at another qualified candidate.

Do ANY of you honestly believe that ANYTHING said in a committee meeting will change things? Resident Bush has stated again and again that HE IS THE COMMANDER IN CHIEF and WILL NOT TAKE ORDERS FROM CONGRESS so other than GRANDSTANDING, which Ms. Clinton thinks is action, what do you think could be accomplished??? of course as has happened to my last five post on this subject it will dissappear into the nothingness of "in moderation" and than poof it will be gone never to see the light of day as CNN continues their unabashed support of Ms. Clinton during this campaign

A good point, except he does have a valid excuse. Running for President is much more time consuming than any of us know, way more than a 9-5 job. I doubt anybody would be able to hold any meetings given that grueling travel schedule, etc. Anyways, I am sure that Hillary has some similar situations.

Chairperson has a nice ring.....a perfect job for Hillary once she loses . NEW LEADERSHIP! It can't be stopped fellow Dems.

I can't believe this were are his supporters? sometimes i think i'm going crazy the media choses to forget that over ten million democrats voted for hillary. Last night was the last straw you had to be blind not to realize she nailed and commanded the debate who cares about smiles and stupid talk our economy is failing what we need is a brilliant fighter and no one is better than hillary ! but of course the media keeps saying she didn't knock it out! what did they want her to do punch obama or tell him you anwser the question on russia and then she'd be called some other nasty thing.
c'mon let's help her voice be heard let's be clear no one can accuse hillary of being weak he agrees with everything she says copies all her policies and yet he gets the good grade from tim russet seriously?> am i just plain crazy or are they seriously sinking her minute by minute????????????????

How ridiculous.... How much "Senate Related" work do you think Hillary has done since the campaign has started. I will answer that for her - NONE. This is true for all candidates who are running full-time for office in tough campaigns. She said in the debate she only gets a couple of hours of sleep, which is probably true for him. This is actually Silly...

Dolores asks where are the Obama people on this one?

We are here, but CNN deletes our posts so that they can continue to try to stilt this contest which ever way they feel like leaning today.

How many subcommittee meetings have other presidential hopefuls run since announcing their bid for the Whitehouse?

Just in case anyone is wondering, this is a tactic by Clinton to avoid her incredibly shady past. Suspiciously dead collegues, voting for bills because it was "the best she could get" instead of just voting no, shady supporters conveniently showing up in Mexican prisons when she doesn't want anyone to know about them. These are all things that have been conveniently swept under the carpet.
Do your research BEFORE you blindly support this woman.

The Obama people see this as stupid. I'm sure Clinton hasn't missed a thing in the senate this past year. Oh that FISA vote....

What is the problem with American that talking the issues and being a "politician" have become taboo only for the candidate that wants to focus on the issues. The media is very one sided and it is an insult to those of us who want to hear what Obama actually has done or is doing to deserve the highest office in our nation. Resume for resume, solution for solution, he is an under achiever. Hillary needs to pull a Ross Perot and pull out the resume chart, he simply isn't qualified and right now we need solutions.

Love Hillary.......................................................

For the love of God Hillary, how will Obama not holding a hearing make *you* a better President? I am tired of your whining. Is that what you'll do against foreign countries if you are (which is highly unlikely) the President?

Go Home.

Wow. Its amazing that Billary Clinton is so desperate to get some type of leverage in an obviously one sided election that she could find somethign as menial as this. Answer this question. What has Clinton done during her WHOLE presidential campaign towards the good of the american people? or is she just focusing on the campaign herself? or her thought of taking over the world! seems absurd, but if she's anything, thats it. LOL

YES WE CAN!!!!
YES WE CAN!!!!!
YES WE CAN!!!!!!

REMEMEBR, TAKE CARE OF YOUROWN HOUSE BEFORE YOU TRY TO TAKE CARE OF THE WHITE HOUSE!

If Obama is the president of the United States, would he spend another one and half year in campaining for next term without doing anything? Oh Yeah, Maybe!!! We do not need this absent president.
I am in Ohio, I will no way to vote for him

Isn't there something seem kind of odd about that commitee? Since there is no officail meeting one would probably think they have no kind of power anyway. Hillary is all talk behind people's back but when she see people face to face she talk all nice wow she is brave.

IT'S A BULL'S EYE MADAME PRESIDENT...if he is really COMMITTED in pursuing a HIGHER office or the HIGHEST OFFICE in the WORLD, he should finish all the works first before leaving them behind...so that in the future when things get WORST he could defend his STAND on an ISSUE and not make any more ALIBIS...God Bless AMERICA and God Bless Her Excellency HILLARY RODHAM CLINTON...(i hope this will be posted)

Kris – A Proud Democrat

You people are ignorant if you believe that Clinton would make a better president than Obama. You complain about politicians being corrupt and always taking money from the special interests and when something fresh and real like Obama comes along you go to the name that you are more familiar which is Clinton. Obama is being attacked on petty things. Things that hold no purpose in attacking. He has been chairman for just 2 months. I take it back..there is a purpose in attacking him on petty things. It is the only things that the Clinton campaign is able to attack!!!!!! I might not know a lot about Obama but I know enough to know that I would choose him over a power hungry politician who would do anything to get into the presidency including faking a tear on camera!!!!!!....How is that for integrity!

Didn't Hillary say in this same debate that she was too busy running for president to release her tax return? A tax return that has more importance in light of the fact that a.) she shares finances with Bill Clinton, b.) she lent her campaign $5 million, and c.) Bill received some money through his work in Europe getting mining rights for a supporter.

I think it is a case of pot and kettle. Especially since it's not like she's been doing anything but running for President either.

Wow, lots of Clinton supporters on this thread. I have to say, this doesn't seem like a big deal to me at all; I think chairing an oversight meeting is far less important than, say, voting on the FISA bill, which Hillary failed to carve time into her schedule for.

If you don't think a presidential campaign is pretty consuming, you should really fault Hillary for failing to release her tax returns before the primary. Releasing things isn't that hard.

But, I suppose most people's minds are already made up, and if they're Hillary supporters, they'll take whatever they can get.

You can't have it both ways. You say he's all talk. Meetings are about talk. His role is to tell Pres. Bush what he should be doing. He did that and Bush ain't listening. Therefore, Obama decided to take some ACTION and run for President. Just like everyone is holding meetings and waiting for numbers to come in to let us know if the economy is bad. Duh...the economy is bad. We don't need no stinkin meeting to know this. This just shows how bad things have gotten for the Clinton team. Her argument is he shouldn't be President because he didn't hold meetings. There wouldn't be a need for the meeting if Clinton and people like her would not have voted for this war. Obama knows what is going on in Afghanistan.

This is laughable considering Hillary has been in the Senate for a full term plus a couple of more years, and what has she accomplished?

as President Sen. Obama would obviously have much more leeway to bring about REAL change in Afghanistan then chairing a meeting.

Obama 08

Hmmmm, maybe, just maybe, there was nothing worth meeting about related to Europe. Let's face it, they don't help us nearly as much as we help them.

The man has had to put his whole life on hold to run againest the Clinton Machine ..no one would have time when you start off fighting an uphill battle againest one of the most popular last names in politcs...you clinton supporters are patathic at best ..your reaching for straws trying to find any way possible to cast shade on Obama...you still haven't learned that Hilary is unelectable she is no better then John McCain...how you gonna autorize a war then turn around talking about you didn't want to...Hilary Clinton is a non factor in this elction right now..had this been Obama people would have been screaming for him to drop out when he lost his 11th in a row....all you Clinton fools are 2 faced....

The Hillary camp just doesn't get tired of going negative, does it? How much has Clinton kept up with her duties after starting her campaign. It just happened that Obama was elected on the Chair when he was on the campaign trail – so Hillary: OBVIOUSLY he didn't hold a hearing. Stop limping around and go home.

Obama '08

I knew it all along, Obama does not have the goods to be president. He talks about we should have never been in a war in Iraq and this is correct. But the war we should have been in and are in Afghanistan,"He heads a commitee that has oversight of that war and he does nothing. This is a outrage! Down with Obama

Dolores i have written several post they are all in moderation and then just dissappear.. guess CNN wants to appease the Clintonistas more than they want a true discussion

So what will he ignore if he is elected. Just because you run for President doesn't mean you should not do the first job you were elected for.

Obama has a lot to answer for. He has not and no one seems to want to ask.

Like her or not, Hillary Clinto has a proven record and clear policy to move America forward. Since when did the President of the United States become like a cheap rip off of American Idol. We need a leader, not a performer.

Hillary can't get disclose her taxes because she says she doesn't have time to call an accountant due to her running for President. But you wantt Barack to hold sSentate meetings while running. Shame on all you you! This goes to show why Hillary campaign is a such mess. 35 years of experience and no time to have an accountant or Bill Clinton to make sure their taxes are disclosed. Amazing!!!!!!!!

This is Obama's biggest weakness, he deflects and avoids, just like he said in his last question in the Ohio debate, he didn't take action & stand up on congressional involvement in the Terry Schiavo case. I fear this is what we can expect from him, indecisiveness, not acting even when he knows, "like he said", that it's the right thing to do. Will he be weak and slow to make a decision when we need him to most because he wants to be liked and wants everyone to get along, boo hoo, fact is everyone's never going to get along. I'd just as soon Russia, N. Korea, China and others take our leader seriously and not think we're a pushover just because he wants "to get along with everyone". Also, his great oratory skills sure don't show up in the debates do they, another weakness, he can't inspire people unless he's giving speeches. Where's the consistency, with Hillary she is what we see in rallies and debates and no doubt leaders of other countries would take her seriously, that's why white men in this country don't want to vote for her, they say, I'm afraid of Hillary – why? because she means what she says, maybe that's why we need someone like her. Most mod liberals I talk to won't vote Obama, they will go McCain. I'm very liberal, won't vote Obama-I'll always give my vote to Hillary, I won't give up on her because I've never seen her give up on anything, healthcare or her marriage.

The most perfect Candidate is HILLARY !!!!!!!
HILLARY has deep feelings for Americans, peoples life, strugle, many issues related to today economy.
Health Care Universal is the most important to provide for everyone, dosn't matter if you're rich or poor !!!!!
I know, that women is more serious, more qualified, strong and smart, to solve many problems.
Obama told to the media, at the beginning, that he need somone to keep his paper in order !!!!!, he may loose it if secretary won't help him to keep in order or to hand him in the time when he needs them!!!!!
Poor organizational skills. NO !!!!!!OBAMA !!!!!!!

HILLARY 2008

it's impossible to know where obama really stands because he has nothing to show. i for one do not trust him and his arrogance irks me. i like people who are honest and straightforward; i have no use for smooth-talkers. we don't need another do-nothing president people!!! one more reason to vote mccain in the general.

Am I the only one who sees Obama's newness to politics as a good thing? I know experience is great, but doesn't this give him less time to have been corrupted by Washington? Also, it seems like Hillary is pulling out all the stops to find things wrong with Obama. As her position gets weaker, the negativity gets stronger. Aren't her own qualities good enough to campaign on, or does she have to keep bashing Obama?

Doing her JOB!?! Where was she during the FISA vote.. oh yeah out campaigning in one of the "important" states (Texas while the results from the Potomac Primaries rolled in showing her defeat...

And is our friend Hillary busily doing Senate-related duties during her campaign? Oh, wait, she's too busy trying to jump on her opponent for every single litte thing. My mistake!

And remember kids, Mr. Clinton and several other presidents have been governors before this, or senators who have not chaired committees, etc! AND THE EARTH DID NOT CRASH INTO THE SUN.

Barb Canada - you are absolutely correct. Obama is coming across as narcissistic. He seems to honestly believe that his complete lack of experience makes him the better candidate. He's looking more and more like a cult of personality rather than an over-zealous candidate.

The reality of the situation is that if Obama wins the nomination he will lose the general election. The Republicans will eat him alive. Clinton, despite her foolish campaign decisions, will be much harder to beat. Also, people don't dislike Bill Clinton as much as the media would have us believe, and he will be a powerful companion in the general.

Well if that is why you say support Hillary. Then why don't she stop hiding her tax records to the campaign as asked. That don't say she is experience. She always try to get the media to focus on him for somethings that means nothing. Hillary supports get over it.

Hillary has no wins!

Too little, too late. Won't make a dent in his momentum. When will people begin to understandt that it is not about liking Obama it is despising Hillbilly.

Are you posting only pro-Hillary comments here?

If this is the best Hillary has, she is in deep trouble. Please Hillary, tell me what exactly you have done in the past six years to make our country safer?

Oh that's right you voted for the Iraq war, which you have now admitted you regret, because it has made us less safe.

Sorry, but this feeble attempt at criticism will go over about as well as that comment about Barack's pillows. Good one!

Wow, it took her a year to finally find an imperfection about Obama. congrats Mrs Clinton, at last you havesomething that actuallyis useful in your campaign.I'm afraid itis too late now.

When Obama is given the chance to chair an important subcommittee, he does nothing. Is this a glimpse into the future? If he's too busy running for President to take on the responsibility, then resign that position. But I guess it helps puff up the resume.

Obama cannot be counted on to follow through with his promises and that's what disturbs me as he moves closer to the White House. I am concerned that the voters and superdelegates are being swept up in the latest trend. When people like John Lewis switch their support from Clinton to Obama because they want to ride the popular wave, I question their motives. If superdelegates were supposed to vote with their constituents, then Ted Kennedy should be voting for Clinton. I don't see that one happening.

Wow!!! There seems to be a lot of angry Hillary supporters. All I could say is, "Don't hate me because I beautiful." When you guys stop being spinned by the Clinton's spin machine. You'll know what I mean.

Hilliary who........?

America Is Ready
Obama 08

Of course he isn't wasting time with a European subcommittee, forget NATO. Because it does't affect his numbers.

Go Hillary!!!!! if she doesnt win I will vote for McCain. And who cares if the low life Lewis is now supporting Obama.

Wow, Hillary is looking really DESPERATE these days! How pathetic! Perhaps after she loses the nomination, she can star in a new cnn drama series titled, "Desperate Former First Ladies!"

Wow, the Obama crowd is kinda quite here. Hard to deny this lil morsel huh? He has actually been running for President for the past 2 years. His words in debate number 19.

It is really a shame that Obama has not been scrutinized until this past week. After George Bush was elected for a second term there was a headline in one of England's newspapers that read, "How can 55 million people be so stupid?" I look at Obama and ask myself the same question – every day. We heard the same rhetoric from Bush – that he can unite the parties; and one more similarity – little experience. America, let's not be so stupid again.

Could Obama haters speak well of Hillary rather than slander?
This extremely silly to see comments that attack with so much anger. They both will do fine up against McCain, but I believe Obama has a atronger voice because he represents THE PEOPLE of America. He has the experience to defeat all odds being a minority.

America is in desperate need for CHANGE. I am sure Hillary and Obama can give us that, but Obama represents a unique group of individuals who make America the way it is – a multi-cultured nation.

Obama is the voice and represents the soon to be majority.

Funny how the media never brings up these things. Corporations own the media. Republicans support Corporations so no wonder they give Obama all the attention. They want McCain for President so they are suporting the person that will loose against McCain. Senator Clinton has been down the road of running for office and taking on Republicans. GO HILLARY!!

This is such an irrelevant discussion. Clinton, Obama, and McCain have spent hours and hours on the road – ALL running for president! Huckabee is the only one who does not have a day job! Clinton is giving the enemy ammunition and all you can do is complain and whine. Clinton should be attacking McCain, not Obama. All she is doing is splitting the party. GEEZ!!

CNN "Best plitical team get our TRUST back.
Take the right, fair position on this. You're students of politics. By any measure this is bad chairing. Say so!
Don't bother to "moderate" this - this is for your eyes only, if your underlings show you it.

I hope Americans will see the real Obama before it's too late. He's all talk and no action and that explains his lack of responsibility to stand up to the challenge. Giving a speech about the Iraq war is hardly a vote that counts when you're not even in the Senate. There were citizens all across the nation giving speeches and rallies but that doesn't make us a candidate for President. And then he went to the Senate and voted exactly like. Now he has surrounded himself with the establishment Democrats, whom he claims to loathe, the very politicians that voted to give authority to President Bush to go to war, exactly the way Hillary voted.

Only 14 comments from Hillary camp? Where did everyone go!

Obama will have plenty of time for meetings. Don't sweet the small stuff.

These are the facts that the screaming. placard waving followers of obama do not seem to be aware of. They are being hoodwinked by a phoney who is only after power. No substance in his empty words. I hope and pray the voters and the MEDIA take notice of this and stop the rot before its too late for America and rest of the world.

where are all the Obama people on this one?

Thank you CNN for finally reporting important FACTS about Obama's record. Keep up the good work!

Oh my God People!

He hasn't held an inquiry into how NATO can be stronger in Afghanistan. No one said he has never attended a meeting. Please get it together and stop grasping at straws. I personally feel that right now, with this administration, he needs to focus on becoming President, for that is the only way this world will change for the better. If another Bush-thinking person gets to sit in the Oval Office imagine how much worse the next 4 to 8 years will be?

Please stop this petty stuff

Hillary is a leader that we can count on; she has a record as working hard, taking action and doing her job. We do not need another fraternity guy politician who does nothing for this country.

Hillary go 2008.

CNN dont let Obama off the hook on this one. He talks about Afganistan but is unwilling to make change for it. Hillary is fighting a battle with Bush over a permenant treaty in Iraw, while running for president. Obamas been skipping important votes in the senate as well.
If hes not going to do anything as a senator he shouldnt count the past year as part of his service

Just another reason not to vote for Obama all talk no do !!!!!!! What is going to be his excuse if he wins in November People wake up!!!!! and to the people who haven't decides to Vote for HIllary yet !!!Please Vote for Hillary !!!!!!Hillary had showed that she is a fighter and she will fight for you when she is our New President !!!!!! and another thing on the debate she has been asked more question first and when he is ask a question first he hen haws around a lot before he can answer the question !!!!!He follows her lead when he answers after her So who then is he going to follow if he wins in November Bush leads !!!!!!!!!!
go HIllary

get out and Vote Texas and Ohio for Hillary and all the other states!!!!!

Why is he the chairman of that committee after a year of nothing? This is the problem I have with Obama and I feel that this is what will happen if people don't WAKE UP! Hillary Clinton is the right choice and certainly the one to kick Republican butt.

Let's see if CNN actaully posts this.

We Clinton supporters might as well give up ... the media doesn't seem to want to let anything stick to Obama. The media sees how the people are behind him and they are afraid to bring him down. They fear the black community will be outraged because the media will be labeled as racists. You might as well put this man in the White House now and forget the general election. When you can't even say this man's middle name without fear of a media storm, then i can only see the media have a hands off approach when he takes office.

FINALLY CNN!!!!!!
You are actually starting to ask QUESTIONS ABOUT YOUR CHOSEN ONE!!!!!!!!

Hillary Clinton will be one of the MOST successful presidents in HISTORY! You can not knock her down!!!!!!!!!!

Hillary is the most qualified candidate. Let's support her.

The emperor has no clothes!

This epitomizes Obama's lack of experience. When is the country going to wake up and vote for a candidate who is so blatantly qualified like Hillary Clinton. What a waste if America lets this opportunity go by. God bless us all...

Actions speak louder than words Sen Obama – you have stated again and again that Iraq was a mistake because it deflected attention from Afghanistan. Now we learn that you were in a position to influence the outcome of that war, and that you have failed because you were "too busy" promoting yourself and spouting forth more empty words, to appeal to empty headed voters. What a disgrace. People of Texas, don't be fooled by this empty vessel, don't listen to his empty words and empty promises.

FINALLY SOMEONE BRINGS THIS IMPORTANT ISSUE UP

HE IS ALL TALK

HILLARY IS ACTION

LONG LIFE DEMOCRAT FROM FLORIDA

IF OUR VOTE IS NOT COUNTED WE WILL VOTE MCCAIN

Right ON Hillary!!! Obama is all talk and no action.

Barack Obama – all hat, no cattle

He's does nothing , and gets praised from the so called free press. I'm a life long Democrat , But Thank God for The Republican Party who won't be afraid to put him under the microscope asked the tough questions .

Kirk , Michigan

It takes a real Narcisist to take on the most Serious Job in the world with little to no experience!!

Obama is all talk and is not ready to be president. We cant talk about his record bc it does not really exist. I would never vote for him until he gets more experience. I dont care how many speeches he writes or how well he performs in a debate. If Hillary does not win we need to support the best candidate and that is McCain.

That's typical of Obama, he wiggle out of his responsibilities and make up excuses like his PRESENT vote and OOPS I PUSH THE WRONG BUTTON!

Wake up,Amerocan people!!! What else proof do you still need?
Please...do not send another Bush from Democratic Party for another 4 years.

Vote for Hillary! She will never let you down.

Again he proves all talk and no action. On MSNBC there was a show which is also on the site that talks about his record. He doesn't have a whole lot to show for himself.

Hillary '08

I'm not suprised by Obama's lack of accomplishments. He's focsuing so hard on change. If he wants to change the world polciy , he should spend time conducting meetings. Plese, Obama do not give you any excue. You're not only one who running for President.

Excellent point Hillary. Of course CNN will spin it to Obama's favor.

Here's more proof that many have ignored....
He HASN'T held a single meeting?????
Obama is NOT ready to be President. He's all bubbles, no substance.

GREAT JOB HILLARY!!

HE IS TOO BUSY RUNNING FOR PRESIDENT – THAT MUST BE MORE IMPORTANT THAN ISSUES ABROAD. Obama was asked once he took the Senate Chair if he would serve his full term of 6 years before running for President and he said "YES" What happend to I stand behind my commitments?

GO HILLARY

GO HILLARY

GO HILLARY

Smart Woman. I picked up on that one too. All talk and no action.
Get him Hillary. Bayou joe is pulling for you.

A lame duck committee chair? Shameful behavior. No excuses. At least Hillary's working for the public good while she campaigns.
