@Fay Neither Clintons were in the Military either thank you very much.

Also to whoever said Barack blunder a question regarding Al Qeda he did NOT. Terror cells are EVERYWHERE in this country are we going to send our troops all over the world to find them?? When somebody is ready to attack us again they will regardless of who is sitting at 1600 PA Ave. 9-11 happened under Bush yet he gets props for keeping "us safe" there is no such thing to me.

If you don't say you want McCain answering that phone, you're an idiot

How is she tested? She cried on national TV when she lost in Iowa. She is not ready to lead this nation at all. Her entire family line needs to fade into the background of American history, and quick.

… probably not the person who has a total meltdown every time she doesn't get her way.

When the phone rings at 3am….The caller will ask…Hello Hillary,may we speak to Bill?

Don't get it twisted…It's not Hillary's record she's running on …It's Bill Clinton's Presidency….Well except for NAFTA!!!!!

How does her so called experience prepare her for a crisis???
Her supporters fail to answer this question!!!!!

Barack, for sure. Hillary will say whatever if politically expedient and do anything to secure her and her husband's legacy, no matter what the costs.

i am worried about any president who cares more about herself than the country.

Using the fear tactic is all too predictable. I was genuinely undecided early (leaning Obama because I don't like dynastic democracy and opposed the war in iraq) and thought both would make reasonably good candidates. Now, I will never ever cast a vote for Hillary Clinton — not this year, not when she runs again, not when she runs for re-election in NY.

The woman's instinct is far superior.
It is time to for the USA to elect one and Hillary is the best qualified person out of all running for presidency.
Wake up America!
One mistake is too many. Do not fall in a trap like re-electing Bush in 2004.

Clinton sent my fellow veterans to die in a foreign war that should never have been authorized. She is a hot-head! I DO NOT want her picking up the red line. Obama 08!

The most important question is judgement. Just because someone has experience does not mean the individual has good judgement. The lack of judgement is what led us to the war despite the years of experience from congress. Second, I am still wondering what type of experience Hillary Clinton has. She is using her 8 years as first lady to detail her experience, but where is it. Please describe in detail your experience instead of just saying you have experience. Release the documents that detail what you did as first lady and let the American people decided if you have the experience to lead the country.

I f it is 3:00am I want Michelle Obama to answer the phone and wake up Barak…

Go, Hillary. Please go. You had the time to read the intelligence report, think about it, and make your decision but you still made the wrong decision and voted to send US to invade Iraq. What makes you now think I can trust your judgment about a crisis phone call when you won't have time to think? This fear-mongering should end now. Also, if you can't run your small campaign well, what makes you think I can trust you with the White House that is fraught with a much more bigger and complicated problems? Please for the sake of the country you profess to love, go now and let the right candidate, Obama, take over.

I can't believe Hillary's ampaign stole this from Dick Morris. Dick was just talking about what Hillary can do if she wants to get more people to vote for her. WOW! She is really, really, really trying. They can't come up with anything original. They really have 5 points of attack against Obama.

I still want Obama to answer the phone!

Letha, Sioux Falls, SD -"He as in Chicago and had no voice to stop it. He has voted every time to support Bush and the war he created."

Vote, no but a voice yes and you have heard that he did oppose. Did you see the last debate? He answered the vote to fund question. However what is more important and funny is ….Hillary says "Barack has voted to fund just like i have" as if to make Barack look bad but then at the end of the debate still say her vote to authorize is the one thing she could change. Double-talk…i think so

I think I want someone answering the phone that doesn't look unorgainized during her very important campaign. HRC says she has the experience but look at her campaign. That speaks volumes for her ability to lead. I don't know of any major accomplishments that either candidate has that has made a difference in my life, so her rhertoric is that she has the most experience and the only thing that I judge her on NOW is her campagn, and quite frankly she is doing a pathetic job at that. She is the champion for solutions – what did she promise to deliver when she became senator of NY and what did she actually accomplish? Can someone please enlighten me?

Hey E Popp….Barak Obama's resume is all over the internet and on his web site. You obviously know how to use a computer to ge to CNN' s message boards…..try using it to do a little research.

They need to do a commercial that has Obama with a special phone on his desk, not to the military, but to Clinton.

In a time of severe difficulty or danger. Who do I want answering the phone. The answer is easy John McCain. Not a rookie three year senator.

Barak will change nothing. He has already flip-flopped on so many things. Every time he is attacked, he changes his position. That is why probably he is the "change candidate". He is the one who changes his postiion all the time.

With Democrats like "Me, the Queen of Mean" Hillary–will Cate Blanchette do the movie?–who needs Republicans? Let Obama answer the phone, and talk to our adversaries without having to check whether it's ok . If Hillary wins, John McCain wins, and I sure won't sleep with his itchy fingers on the nuclear trigger.

How is this smear tactics?? She just wants to show she has experience. What's wrong with that?

It reminds me of Alarm company commercials.

Regarding Hillary's ad, I thought MOST people don't like scare tactics.

Fear, fear and more fear. Hillary, you're better than that, or maybe you're not.

As for me. I want to hear President Obama on the other end of that 3 a.m. phone call. My children will be very safe under his leadership. They surely will be more safe than under the "Bushy'" fiasco of a presidency.

So, Hillary has served on several more committees and been the wife of a President. What advantage does that really give her on issues of foreign policy. People voted for Bush in 2000, a governor from Texas, with no national experience. Barack will do fine. People, don't feed into the fear. Leave that to the Republicans. There will be enough of that from the McCain camp in the fall. Oh wait, they've already started.

OBAMA 2008!!!

All of these comments about experience doesnt mean anything. Whoever is president is not going to make any kind of choices without having advisors.So making experience the key issue of who you vote for is ignorant. Now when hillary goes out and cry when she doesnt get what she wants that makes us look even more weak to the rest of the world

As a female veteran who has lived and served the US Military for most of my adult life, I have been subjected on numerous occasions to the backlash of failed US Foreign Policy. I want someone on the phone who will not give the same response that keeps us vulnerable to attack.

A lot is said about Hillary having experience, but you would probably be surprised at the large number of military people who feel more comfortable with Obama than Hillary…

For one, this is a failed strategy…much like the Iraq war, it would appear she has no "what next" plan or she would realize that this ad just serves her up to McCain in the General. She can't beat him on this issue so why leave herself open…If she can't see that far ahead in her campaign, how can I trust her to have any vision on how her actions will impact the country down the road.

Who else but Hillary Clinton. She is the best candidate. She has the experience, wisdom, intelligence, etc. Thank you Hillary for having the courage to run in this election. You inspire me.

Hillary of course! Obama would probaly want to hold hands
with the presidents of Iran, Venenzuela and Cuba.
Get real America experience does matter! This job
is a REAL job and Obama's resume doesn't cut it.

Barak as commander-in-chief!! Iran is having a good time.

Thanks Clinton camp, you just reminded me its time to donate to Obama!!! We all know you're a fighter; the problem is America is tired of fighting. This country wants to heal itself, step aside and allow that to happen. Please, for the good of the party and the country, STEP ASIDE NOW!!!!!!!!

“We Have Nothing To Fear But Fear It's Self

And Those Who Would Exploit Our Fear For Power And For Their Own Personal Selfish Cynical Gain.”

At the beginning of these debates, I really thought obama or clinton, either one would be fine, but that has changed. Obama is all mouth. I think he is more interested in hearing himself talk, Hillary Clinton can and will do much more than his words could ever say. This is a man who gets insulted by someone using his middle name, and people think he would make a good president, well at least the coverage on CNN. I think Hillary gets the short end of the stick with the news coverage from CNN. I want the Clinton years back, when people had jobs, people were not losing their homes! Go Presidant Hillary Clinton, the country needs you!!!!!

aern't we fed up with the bush admionistration using fear as a tactic. thats what got us into an ill-conceived and poorly planned war. mr. obama has what this country needs. clinton had her chance 8 years ago, to actively support al gore as our next president, but was too interested in her own personal ambitions to do antything for that campaign… another bad clinton choice that contributed to the disaster of the last 8 years.

I.D.- Absolutely Correct )

I dont't want anyone who says on national TV that the first thing he is going to do on DAY ONE in the Whitehouse Is "SIT BEHIND THE DESK AND SAY THIS IS COOL" answering the phone at 3AM!! If you seen Ellen speaking with Obama yeaterday you know what I am talking about!!! If you didn't see it you need to take a look!!!! VOTE FOR HILLARY!! At leasty she knows the seriousness of what our Country faces and will get right to work!!!! Obama you need to realize that this is not a movie!!! This is REAL LIFE!!!!!
Go Hillary!!!!!!!

Why don't you Obamaites let this race play to the end or are you afraid your movement star will start to fizzle out. Our Hillary is going to be the president.

Why can't Hillary Clinton simply comply with requirements to reveal Federal Income tax information????????? Why will she not release years of data held by the Clinton library during the Clinton administration.?.
Same old tricks. As the author of Woman in Charge stated. "Hillary simply has a hard time with the TRUTH."

Among McCain, Hillary, and Obama, the choice of whom I want to answer that call is really between two people: McCain and Obama — Hillary is a beaten down and mediocre version of McCain when it comes to experience and is not worthy to unlace Obama's shoes when it comes to judgement. So among the three of them, she is not even worthy to be on the list (she cannot even run her campaign without drama).

The choice is clearer between McCain and Obama: Real Experience vs Sound Judgment.

I would choose Sound Judgment.

Umm…Great Ad, but I don't want Hillary, Obama or McCain answering that call. I'd prefer Oliver North and Newt Gingrich. Thank you very much.

I want it to be President Clinton who answers. I know Obama thinks he can talk us out of anything, but 3:00 AM is an action time, not a smiley, feel good time. It would be a good learning lesson for all of you to see how it would be to have a president of Obama's caliber, but I would be in the mess with you. I want someone with something to offer besides speeches and empty words.

It's good to know we still have a chance to have a President that will scare us into voting for her. We deserve what we get. Way to go my fellow Americans! Whatever happened to "There's nothing to fear but fear itself."

Hillary will keep us safe. Typical Obama does not have ideas of his own that he has to be respond versus comming up with original ideas. Where is the CHANGE when you are always responsive.

Obama wont have Hillary to parrot in a whitehouse emergency, what will he do?

It would have to be Clinton that I would want on that line not Obamma that has no ideal what he is doing. GO HILLIARY

Obama need to counter Clinton's new ad with the following:

The question is not who answers that phone. The question is who makes the correct split-second decision that would affect that child's future.

First all let me say I just want a DEMOCRAT in the WHITE HOUSE in the fall. The only one that I see doing that is Hillary Clinton. She has been in the publics eye long enough that the other side has smeared and tried to do as much as possible, they cant try anything that hasnt been tried before at this point. Obama has quite a few skeletons in his closets that the Republicans are just waiting to jump on if he gets the nomination. They are just hinting at them now but not bringing them out fully because they know that they will wait and use them later. IT SHOULD AND WILL BE HILLARY CLINTON 08

WHO ELSE BUT MR. OBAMA

STOP YOUR SMEAR TACTICS HILLARY

yeah, i have seen in westchester county how much poverty you prevented. poor people stacked on top of each other,without a glimmer of hope of ever owning or buying a home in the state of new york.

Hillary all the way. I want someone who knows the name of the new Russian president… not someone who doesn't know any world leaders.

Hillary Clinton in Texas '08!

This ad reminds me of the scare tactics of the Bush Administration. And so do a lot of the responses to this article. Do you think the President gets up in the night and answers the phone and goes off on some tangent and makes decision on his own. People wake up…… Hillary would make the decision on her own because she is Commander in Chief, and she is the boss…..where Obama and McCain would take immediate action to get the advisors there and make a decision as a group. Do you really think the president makes all these decisions by himself?????

Hillary having access to the "Red Telephone" scares me We have seen how irrational she is. We don't need some woman having her mood swings running the white house. And somehow I don't think Hillary's sleep would be interrupted, we would have to wait until morning when she has her sleep in, she can't be interruped.

WHAT BILLARY WILL DO IS STUDY THE POLLS FIRST!!!

6 out of 10 say pick up the phone!!! SHE SILL PICK UP THE PHONE!!

STAND STRONG FOR CHANGE (OBAMA)

OR

FALL HARD FOR THE SAME (Clinton)!!!

Why would I want HRC to answer the phone when she can't even answer the questions directly?

Where is her experience in times of crisis????? You people keep talking about her experience…When did she ever have to make a decision regarding America's safety??? Other than Iraq!!!!!

*******HILLARY SUPPORTERS*********
Please share with us her expereince as it pertains to National Security!!!!

Being married to a President does not count!!!!

This is beautiful, way to go Hillary. Very tasteful and hit the nail right on the head. Go Hillary

It certainly won't be Hillary – she would have some over sleepover guests answer for her from Lincoln's Bedroom. I certainly do not want Hillary her recent Jekyll and Hyde comments you do not know "Witch" one you will get. I know that Barack will certainly answer the phone with a nice tone tone to his voice.

Blah Blah fearmonger blah. Hillary has been trying for months to engage in a sophisticated foreign policy debate. People shut her down with ambigious thoughts of hope and change. So, she becomes more direct about it.

I want Hillary answering the phone and so will many other people. When your claim to foreign policy fame is a vote that you never had a chance to make, you might not be ready to take that call. I like Obama, but the odds that I am ever going to have a conversation with him are low. The being the case, I will vote for the fighter over the friend.

Office of the Press Secretary, October 7, 2002:

From Bush''s Don"t Wait for Mushroom Cloud Speech:

"Knowing these realities, America must not ignore the threat gathering against us. Facing clear evidence of peril, we cannot wait for the final proof — the smoking gun — that could come in the form of a mushroom cloud."

Follow up by Senator Clinton: (H.J.Res. 114 ) A joint resolution to authorize the use of United States Armed Forces against Iraq. Vote Date: October 11, 2002, 12:50 AM. Clinton (D-NY), "Yea."

NO ONE who voted for the war with Iraq (poor judgment) should be rewarded with the presidency of the United States ! ! !

Obama lover's don't hate Hillary for being smart and ready to run this country..

Get a grip! Go Hillary 08

How sad that she is resorting to fear tactics to attempt to gain votes.

Clinton's campaign gets uglier and uglier as it goes down. All sane people want Barack answering the phone. You never know which of Hillary's multiple personalities will pick up anyway. After Tuesday it's time to fine tune your speach to concede…and don't forget to congratulate Mr. Obaba for the fine job he has done and will continue as President of these U.S.

Do we really want someone who is "too busy" to answer that phone? After all, Obama has admitted that he was too busy running a campaign to attend to business in Washington – like Afghanistan.

A B O

Anyone But Obama

Just had my bumper sticker made today!

`
Word on the street sez… " Wow.. she will be up at night just to take that Phone call…??? "

No… she's up at waiting for Bill to sneak in the back door…

`
McCain '08 – A Change We Can Live With

Wow Hillary, or should i say "Chicken Little". The Lets promote fear tactic is a republican move. I guess you do cross party lines

Obama 08
Ohh Yeah

I trust Hillary to answer the call. She will make sure we are safe. She has kept New York safe and will keep us safe as Comander and chief.

I wonder how many American children will have nightmares after hearing that ad…and how many parents are trying to comfort their children.

What a ridiculous ad to run. It speaks to the desperation of the Clinton campaign and their belief that people will be scared enough to change their vote for Obama.

For me, NO WAY!!!

Will Hillary read the full intelligence report or just the Cliff Notes prior to answering the phone?

Hillary cannot run her campaign properly or with any vision of possibly of maybe it wont be over after super tuesday. Make no mistake, her inability to run a campaign is what we will get as a President. Not to mention she doesnt even have her tax reports in order. Yeah looks like she is ready on day one! Same old back room politics. That is why she is losing, not because of the media or that she is a woman or anything else she wants to whine about.

Of Course Hillary!!!!! Obama would let the voicemail get it then call you and ask you waht you would do!! Thats what he always does. Copy you on everything!

Vote Smart..VOTE HILLARY!!!

“It’s 3 a.m. and your children are safe and asleep. Who do you want answering the phone?”

Any one want Barack Hussein Obama to answer that phone????????????????????????????????????????????????

I want Barack Obama to answer that call. Hillary could not manage her primary campaign, not to talk of answering a fear mongering phone call @ 3:00A.M. Instead of taking the call, she would reach out for Bill first as her co-president.

I dont want a fear mongering person, who acts schizophernic and bipolar, to answer that call…

I want some one even headed and sujective, who has a vision and can lead the nation….

Did I answer that question?

Too many people are saying Obama is too young to be president. If elected, he'll be a year older than Bill Clinton was when he was elected president!

GEORGE BUSH IS CALLING AT 3AM IN THE MORNING ASKING FOR A VOTE IN THE IRAQ WAR!

HILLARY ANSWERED THE CALL AND SAID "YES"

OBAMA ANSWERED THE CALL AND SAID "NO"

PLEASE HILLARY, YOU'VE ALREADY SCARED MY CHILDREN WITH YOUR "YES" VOTE IN IRAQ!

WE WANT SOMEONE WHO WILL SAY "NO" TO IRAQ WAR AND KEEP MY CHILDREN SAFE!

VOTE OBAMA – YES, WE CAN!!!

Fear mongering yet again. Didn't the one in the white house now get voted in for the second time using those tactics? And as to you question Hillary I know I don't have the phone number to the white house as I'm sure most don't. But for the sake of argument let's pretend shall we……

Middle of the night the phone rings.. Hillary answers. Voice on the phone Hillary wake up I did it again!!! Hillary…What Bill? Bill..I missed and got stuff on another dress. Hillary.. Oh silly Billy not to worry we have been through this before and we will again. Now come home and help me make up some crisis so that we can sweep this under the carpet.

This is not the voice I want answering the phone of the white house.

Obama 08

moderator I know you're not going to post this

Of course I want Hillary to answer it. I'd love to hear her yell into the phone "WHY DO I GET THE FIRST QUESTIONS ALL THE TIME IT'S NOT FAIR!!!" and then start crying and saying the media hates her.

Yup, she's soooo presidential.

Obama of course, Hillary will be too busy keeping Bill out of trouble.

Obama 08′/12′

This is fear mongering and it's very GOP, which is a terrible move for her (the latest in a series of terribly amateur mistakes made by her campaign). It's also desperate.

I would want Obama, who would make swift and sound judgements, to pick up the phone. She can't even make it through a debate without looking hysterical. It seems she is always one contingency away from a panic attack–why is that appealing to people? She can barely direct her upper level campaign staff–a person who has PLENTY of experience in campaigning –both for herself and her husband (since the early 80s for the Arkansas exec. office). Her campaign is making miserable mistakes despite all of that EXPERIENCE campaigning–so what makes her years in the Senate and years as first lady enough evidence for you people to think that she has the judgement and experience to run the country better than this failing, miserable campiagn. She has too much ego to be president. Bushette.

Vote Obama, Texas and Ohio.

Three words: POLITICS OF FEAR

This is the kind of Rovian and Kristolian fear-mongering that will set us back for decades. This is why the Republicans will win in November. In a way it sort of reminds me of the Daisy ad by Lyndon B. Johnson's campaign.

I am a supporter of Hillary Clinton, but she has to get rid of whoever in her campaign that keeps putting this crap out.

Why has no one said over & over again like Obama has done about him voting against the war in Iraq when he was not able to cast a vote because he was not in the senate at the time of the vote. Yes he was against the war like millions of us were, but again he was unable to cast a vote.

go! HILLARY….IS THE PERSON I WANT IN CHARGE..WE TOOK A CHANCE ON BUSH AND THAT WAS A MISTAKE..OH! i see men are afaird of a strong woman for president…stand up for hillary like the blacks stand for obama….

I want Hilary to answer the phone so she can hand it to Obama for him to address the crisis.

Go Obama 08

I am so disaqppointed in you people!!!
If you want National Security, honestly want it, than there is NO WAY you will be voting for Obama, or clinton.
Clinton will do what her husband did, cut the military and raise taxes. But how is clinton going to make our country secure.
Obama doesn't want to be in Iraq, but he says he would go into Pakastan

You go Hillary!!! I may still get to vote democrat woo-hoo, I sure do NOT foresee that happening if Obama gets the nod!

I just had a shudder with visions of Hillary sitting up in bed with one of those mud masks on, curlers in her hair and wearing a flowery housecoat to answer the White House phone. Couldn't we just have Momma be president?

Obama, '08, Oh yeah!

Better that Hillary's campaign ask this question — you know McCain will and the Democrats need to win.

I want Hillary's expertise in the White House, not someone who will need on the job training.

Bottom line: No one has presidential experience until they are actually president. I think sound judgment, wisdom, strength and a sincere desire to serve are the most important qualities at issue right now between these two candidates. For me, their "presidential" experience is the same…none.

The one person I don't want answering the phone at 3:00am is John McCain. Dems, please quit bickering. We have to be a unified front. Let's vote, pick our candidate and get ready for November!

This is the final straw. Unbelievable. She calls a flyer that accurately states she wants "mandates" on health care "the worst kind of politics out of Karl Rove's playbook," and then she does this?

No, no, no…SHAME on YOU, Mrs. Clinton.

Democrats, if you don't reject fear-mongering now, you have no chance in November against the Fearmongering machine that is the Republican Party. You will concede that fear will rule the ballot-box again, as it did in 2004.

obama ___ no experinance __ hello wake up people

Hillary also had a Rally advertised on her campaign website, that list "Bill in blackface" as a draw for the event. Now we see this…fear mongering. Wow! Clinton is having difficulty managing her finances, her home, her lies, her taxes, her resume of accomplishments as First Lady. Now she has duped people into believe she would be the one to answer a call at 0300, LOL!!!!

Don't you know Hillary, Americans are living back in a pre-9/11 world, partially thanks to you.

They will live in denial until another 9/11.

John McCain, it's for you!

FEAR…..right out of the republican play book.

Worked for Bush. Guess Hillary thinks it will work for her.

Jennifer, I have news for you and it is not a dead heat. Obama is winning. He has won 11 in a row. The media is actually keeping Hillary alive. If it had been the opposite and Obama did ok through Feb 5 and then lost 11 in a row the media would have ignored him, Hillary would not have debated him and he would be under much more intesne pressure to withdraw. The media is actually keeping the Hillary campaign afloat.

Let's see.. it's 3 am, your kids are in bed and the phone rings at the White House. If Hillary is there, I'm guessing it's the DC police calling to say come and get Bill because he was caught peeping in the windows of your sleeping children.

Is everyone here forgetting that BILL Clinton had, during his term in office, the chance to get Osama Bin Laden….and he BLEW IT! 9/11 never would have happened if he had any understanding of Bin Laden's threat to us all and the world. And people here are saying the Clintons (wasn't aware we were electing a "team") have such great "past experience" with this and other foreign policy issues? Bull-Hockey!

I really enjoy the comments of Hillary supporters who claim that Obama has "Xerox"-ed his campaign from others, essentially stating that he has no original thoughts. Don't these people understand the irony in having just "Xerox"-ed the quotation of their own candidate?

Republicans in Texas are going to vote for Obama to stop Clinton. It is a strategy to get the weakest nominee to compete against McCain. Republicans and independents have flocked to Obama to stop Clinton, not to support Obama. They will all vote republican in November. Democratic superdelegates need to focus on this serious issue of republican support and cast their vote in favor of Clinton at the convention. If they don't, the whole idea of having superdelegates would fail. Black as well as white delegates need to think before they rush into this process.

Billary wasn't too worried about that called in 1998, so why would we believe that they would worry about it now??

Hillary is a republican in a democratic robe. I'm not afraid anymore Hillary. Go home!

Vote for change!

Barack 08!

“It’s 3 a.m. and your children are safe and asleep. Who do you want answering the phone?”

John McCain

McCain '08 – A Change We Can Live With

I am glad to see hillary coming back. Cant people see the real truth about Obama not taking care of his job as a chairmen . I truly feel all this votes are coming from young people that dont even know who Saddam Hussein and [is he related to saddam] thats why he doesnt want his middle name be mention.He is a smooth talker I hope he is not another bush and cant get rid of him. I heard a drug addict being friends with a guy who blew up the pentagon hope you all check him out before you vote really compare him to hillary.

“We Have Nothing To Fear But Fear It's Self And Those Who Would Exploit Our Fear For Power And For Their Own Personal Selfish Cynical Gain.”

Wow, this seems like something that would support McCain. Whoever green-lighted this ad should be demoted.

Obama 08

NOT CLINTON, I do NOT want Clinton to pick up the phone when a crisis happens, she just might be a little angry at something Billy Boy did the night or day before so that would screw her judgment up. We see how emotional she has been during the campaign, I cannot imagine how it would be if she became president. Face it, most women are emotional and lead their lives on how they are feeling that particular day/hour/minute, and Hillary is no different, you cannot be emotional and a national/world leader at the same time. As for those who will think I am sexist, it was several women I talked to who brought up that point.

It's sad to see Clinton's campaign resorting to blatant fear tactics.

I know that I DON"T want the person answering the phone to be someone who voted to authorize the war in Iraq.

Fortunately, we have the choice of a candidate with the judgment to anticipate the consequences of our actions in the world.

Frankly, McCain would be better than either Obama or Clinton. But if I had to choose between Obama or Clinton, I want the one who's awake. That's Obama. Clinton sleepwalked to George Bush's tune, why should I trust her? Obama has demonstrated better judgment time and time again. He should answer the phone… and call McCain.

I would like the phone answered by a decisive leader with clear judment. Someone with a track record of honest, integrity, and level-headedness.

So obviously not Hillary.

I don't agree with Obamas politics, but he seems to at least be even-tempered and thoughtful.

Fear mongering at its worst, but is the state of the world outside of the United States that much more dangerous than what happens inside the United States. Is possibility of a foreign threat so much that Hillary needs to run ads on the following premise….

“It’s 3 a.m. and your children are safe and asleep. But there’s a phone in the White House, and it’s ringing. Something’s happened in the world,”

I dont know about you but my kids face greater threats on the local level moreso than the global level. People are walking in malls and schools shooting each other and she wants us to feel safe because there is a phone ringing in the white house Do you consider this ad by Hillary and some conservatives as fear mongering, would this ad make you feel safe or force you to decide to vote one way or another.

If this ad makes you feel more safe then you need to go live in a plastic bubble somewhere on a commune in idaho.

VOTE FOR ME OR YOUR KIDS WILL DIE hillary08

yea, thats the ticket.

OPTIONS
Hillary answer the phone and acts.
Obama answer the phone and says: I will change the world tomorrow early

Obama people are insane. This you call Fear Mongering? Please. She is asking a valid question. The truth is that Senator Obama hasn't done much and has no foreign experience, which will be pivotal for the next president. He didn't even know Canada had a prime minister, not a president. Yeah that's who I want as my leader? – Not.

He didn't do anything while being the chair of the foreign committee because he was too busy campaigning, so what you are saying is that he was busy auditioning for the job he didn't have instead of doing the job the good people of Illinois entrusted on him to do. He is no better than McCain of Clinton. If anything sometimes, I think he is worst.

Clinton can waste her money airing all the ads she wants, but the fact is Barack Obama is the only candidate in either party that is qualified to handle a foreign crisis. George Bush, John McCain, and Hilary Clinton all have obstinant and arrogant attitudes towards listening to anyone other than themselves. They are also short tempered. In addition, all 3 are stubborn and at times irrational. We do not need this type of attitude from our leaders. Notice that Barack Obama is always calm, in control, and rational even when he's being attacked or disagreed with. The sooner George Bush is out of the White House, and Barack Obama is elected President, the sooner this country will begin moving forward and regain lost respect with the rest of the world! Obama for President!

This is what Hillary is spending that 35 million on?

Fear?

She is turning your donations into FEAR.

You guys are paying to be scared?

The only people this appeals to his her hardcore base… she can't expand past that.

This is proof, "Word on the Street doesn't "understand the ad any more than we understand what Obama is all about. Nor do you understand the responsibilities of the President any more than Obama does. I want my president to get up when that phone rings @ anytime day or nite . Calls at 3:30 in the morning usually mean one thing. I want that president to be able to make decisions at what ever time those calls come in. Believe me no president is waiting for a phone call from you
I hope people choose wisely

I want Barack to answer the phone and talk to his new friend Ahmadenijad about the tea-party that they held the week before in the White House. Right….

Ugh. I'm so sick of being scared into making decisions. Is HRC really a democrat? Or did Rove pen this ad for her himself.

I'd want Obama to answer the call. Hands down.

Voting to go to war with a country that had nothing to do with attacking us created a brand new home for terrorists in Iraq and made us far less safe. And Hillary, you made that decision when your were wide awake – not at 3:00 a.m. in the morning.

Playing upon our fears to get elected reeks of George Bush, Dick Cheney, and Karl Rove; shame on you, Hillary.

I most certainly do not want a person answering the phone who thinks they can make the terrible mistake and then take it back after they have made it. I want the person who can make the right call from the jump.

Obama 08

So now Hillary resorts to BUSH-like scare tactics??? Is she desperate or what?

OBAMA '08

I want Hillary to answer it …….as a black man I prefer a yes/no person to answer the phone then a present person Obama is good but not that good alot of you want change ,but when you get it will you really accept it? answer : no

cause america is so blind to the inspiration speaker talk they forgot when are still in a state of emergency people

ABC I love your comment.

This is right up there with the endorsement from the dead govenor Ann Richards.

Any word on how RI and Vermont are doing, or aren't they states anymore?

I would want the person who answers the phone in a crisis to be cool, calm, and show good judgement. hillary shows none of this when her own campaign is in somewhat of a crisis.

Honestly at this point I'm the 1 insulted. How stupid does Hillary really think we are. And I'm really starting to think she is comparing notes with the Republicans. A lot of people say "Rovian Tactics" and "Republican Playbook" but all this fear-mongering is straight up GOP for real. People talk about how Obama (who i support whole heartedly btw) is a closet Muslim and is hell bent on destroying the country. Has anyone ever thought that maybe Hillary is a closet Republican and thats why her campaign sounds just like John McCain's?

I want Hillary to answer the phone.. Hillary 08

at 3AM she's wondering where bill is …

I want Hillary to answer it as a black man I prefer a yes/no person to answer the phone then a present person Obama is good but not that good alot of you want change ,but when you get it will you really accept it? answer : no

cause america is so blind to the inspiration speaker talk they forgot when are still in a state of emergency people

Good news for Republicans. John McCaqin is the only person qualified to answer that phone at 3:00am. None of the others are, so I'll only feel safe if he's the President in the circumstance.

Hillary can't pick up now… She's too busy crying.

Let's see, which Hillary would I want to answer the phone. How about the Hillary that answers the phone and says you got the wrong number, call President Barack Obama.

Well, I figure if it's Obama who answers, then it will be a month or so before anyhing is done because he will have to hand it off to someone who knows what in the heck to do because he just knows how to make speaches and promises, he aven admitted that he's not someone who follows thru. He turns it over to someone else. .

This sounds like an ad McCain can run against Hillary: he not only knows the military, he is from the military. So unless Hillary is ready to flip-flop and run as an Obama against McCain, her reasoning makes no sense.

CAN YOU IMAGINE IF HILLARY WAS IN THE WHITE HOUSE? WHOEVER IS SLEEPING NEXT TO BILL WOULD ANSWER……

I think I would want someone who spoke out against the Iraq war than someone who DID NOT READ THE ENTIRE REPORT BEFORE SENDING OUR KIDS TO WAR!!!!

I think I will want Barak to answer that phone!! He got it right with the war in Iraq, and he qill get it right in the future

Hopefully, Hillary will be there to lend her support, because that is what this party is about, supporting eachother!!

STOP THE HATE, VOTE BARAK 08!!!!!

What this shows is while Clinton is creating a new ad, Obama already had one, and is re-airing it.

Clinton had to create a new ad that she feels works.
Obama already had an ad that he feels works.

She's constantly trailing in the advertising department to him.

I will want Obama – if it is Rezko calling at 3am, if not I want Hillary.

HIllary – keep on hitting hard. Don't give up – this country needs you.

I would like to just point out, for the sake of doing just that, has everyone failed to notice that "Mr. I was against the war in the begining-blah blah Obama" voted AGAINST a resolution to start withdrawing troop in July of 08?? You know the one the Democrats got started and were all gun ho for ?? He voted AGAINST it you bunch of ignorant fools!! Obama is not who you think he is!!!!

PLEASE DEAR GOD LET IT BE HILLARY

I want Obama to answer that phone because what of the 10s of Hillaries will answer the phone, Her management of this campaign, her management of the health care bill in 1993, her vote for the Iraq war as a political strategy makes her the real scary one to answer the phone. That is it I can never vote for Hillary even if she was the Democratic nominee. I reluctantly would have but this fear mongering commercial is despicable and I can not vote for her under any circumstance.

Why do you people think Obama will be clueless? I'm not even against Clinton–she would be a good president. I just believe Obama would be a better president.

For all of you who is saying "Obama would be clueless" or think that America will tank if he becomes president. GET A CLUE. WE ARE ALREADY IN THE TANK.

McCain will bring more of the same (in the tank).

I agree with Erica- Ohio regarding Hillary in a previous comment
in the politicalticker – Yesterday. Im voting for HILLARY because
she is a W-O-M-A-N.

I agree with alberto- Because I am 60 years old and have
been a Democrat all my life. If Obama gets the Democratic
Nomination , regardless of party affliation I will cross party lines.
I always vote For what the person STANDs for…..

GO HILLARY

Obama's Rhetoric is a MILE long and about ONE INCH deep.

It's 3AM at the White House, and the phone rings. Obama answers the phone. The other party says, "It's me, Hillary. SHAME ON YOU for not making me your Vice President!! Bill, not tonight – get back on that couch!". And then she starts crying.

WHAT ABOUT THE ECONOMY!!!?!?!?!?!

Unbelievable!! Hillary, please. How many different strategies are you going to try and use in your campaign to get an edge?? This is why you can't stop OBAMA's momentum because you change with the political wind. Now, it's vote for me or your kids will be harmed!! Yet, in the debates you said America would be fine with either selection as long as a Republican isn't elected. I'm convinced you don't care about the democratic party or the American people. You only care about yourself and your own legacy!! Honestly, I'd rather have no experience and sound judgment, then experience and POOR judgment and based on your IRAQ vote, support for NAFTA and poorly ran campaign you have TERRIBLE judment so your experience counts for NOTHING!!!!

OBAMA 2008!!

I want HIllary to answer the phone – she has the answers, doesn't stumble and hesitate and look to others for mentoring.

Fear is what the terrorist wanted the USA to live in….our politicians are using fear tactics and scaring us into voting for them….looks like they won…..

Clinton's add is a heck alot better than having one of John Kerry 's
swift boat buddy's promoting hanging a white flag and running with their tails between their legs .McPeak's been practically dis-owned by the military .This was a bad choice by the Obama campaign .If he's going after the military vote he picked the wrong guy which is a statement this guy knows nothing about foreign affairs and it showed at the debate the other night .American's are not that stupid .The economy is going to be the key in this primary Gas is going to $4.00
a gallon and inflation is hitting a all time high .And their is only one candidate that is credible when it comes to the economy and thats not Obama !!! Americans better be waking – up !!!Because there is no fear about it .Its a FACT !!!!!

I would hate to know that the telephone rang in the white house with a national disaster and Hillary answered the phone. There would immediately be two disasters to deal with.

Her latest ad is based on fear and certainly not on experience.

Voters be aware!!!
IF Hillary answer the call at 3:00 AM, she will answer the call and DECIDE WITH BAD AND HORRIBLE JUDGEMENT. America needs a President who will answer the call with courage and determination to solve any problem. Barack OBAMA will do it.

McCain can do it too. Maybe Hillary will have to ask Bill to answer for her.

I want a calm, unflappable voice to answer that phone. That wouldn't be Hillary. Despite having every advantage, she could not even run her campaign competently. Why should webelieve she could handle a world crisis?

And democrats accuse republicans of fear mongering… Shame on you, Hillary!!

A Hillary who is" ready on day one " afriad of taking the 1st question in MSNBC debate.How would she is willing to pick up that call? Let your action speaks out.

Go Obama

Who do I want to answer the phone? Hillary Clinton. Obama might "push the wrong button" and accidentally hang up.

John Stevens February 29th, 2008 10:05 am ET

The real point of the ad is not fear – but that we are electing a President – not a feel good Guy.
———————————————————————————–
The Barry is not fit to be president, he is a flimflam jiving talking man. No experience , no substance. Just a ham sandwich!

Barack seems to be the more stable of the two. At least he doesn't have to resort to negative fear based attack ads to get elected.

Is the tag line at the end:

"This is George Bush and I approve this message"

Just curious – by the way, the answer is Obama.

As long as someone answers the phone and doesn't wake me up I'll be fine.
This just typical "the boogie man will get your children" crap. What experience of Clintons' will make any difference?
There's precious little to fear out there. The actual risk to individuals is minimal. Getting in your car is more dangerous to me that Al Quaeda. We're just afraid to take a punch as a nation. We'd give up our liberty instead of sacrificing to keep it.

Sure Hillary can always answer the phone. The question is what she would do next. If her vote to authorize the war and the way she ran her campaign is any indication, her next move is bound to be a disaster.
Her claim to know world leaders, based on her role as first lady, is bogus. For starters, all world leaders from the 90's are gone, except for a few dictators.

Every single time Senator Clinton does anything at all, Mr. Obama follows with something…
A perfect case of Follow the Leader… No joke people, he can not think ahead on his own… That is why she speaks first… He has even added her speech into his (denouncing the Bush administration) because it was working for her so why not steal it as well…
AMAZING… Open your eyes people…

3:am Phone Rings:… … … …

Hillary": "Hello"

General: We have just been attacked!

Hillary: Ha aHa Ha (cackle) Ha aha Ha (cackle)

General: What should we do?

Hillary: aHa kaHA HA (cackle)

She'll run the white house as she has ran her campaign or will she run it the way Bill ran it (renting rooms)? No, thank you! I want OBAMA!

She is awakened by the phone ringing at 3:00 AM. She has that what the.. It's 3:00 AM, turns over and where's Bill? She gets up and muffled sounds are coming from the bathroom. The phone is still ringing. She follows the noise to the bathroom. She opens the bathroom door only to find a female intern taking dick-tation from Bill. She screams "Shame on you Bill" and finally reaches for the phone.

Now answer the question, Who do you want answering the phone?

Would someone please ask the candidates this question? Why did you vote to spend billions of tax payers dollars to pay for and support illegal aliens? All the presidental candidates voted foe the bill. Would love to send it to you if I had your email address. Wayne Hunsaker Totals about $338 billion a year.

So why didn't someone on the Clinton Team answer the darn phone during the commercial? It would make you think someone in the hypothetical Clinton administration was asleep at the wheel. Hillary, you are looking silly for using our kids to spread fear. Did you pay money for your ill advised campaign commercial? The Obama Team will jump all over your stupid commercial with, President Obama immediately answering the phone and getting the job done. Clinton Team you have used poor judgment in your stupid commercial and will use it I'm sure as Commander-in-Chief and president. Be very, very quiet Hillary Clinton is hunting for idiots to elect her for a position requiring good judgment. GO Obama 08!

I find funny most you here think that we have to anwser the phone a 3 am. I would let that thing right until morning!! Short of nuclear war mind you, then I would get up. lol.

Hillary should answer that phone.

Obama will say what is my problem about that – he will smoke and go back to sleep.

Hahahahahahahahahahahaha! HAH!

Gimme a break!

"It’s 3 a.m. and your children are safe and asleep. Who do you want answering the phone?”

Not someone who didn't take time to read documents that raised questions about the WMD claims but rushed and voted for a war that is now so unpopular it has brought the President's popularity to a 30 percent low and a US Congress' popularlity to an even lower 22 percent.

We need someone with the ability to make sound judgment, not rushed judgment!

Hillary, you are disqualified from answering the WhiteHouse phone at 3 in the morning, especially if you wake up and find Bill is not in bed.

Disgusting. I had really hoped the Dems wouldn't stoop to Republican tactics and deal in the politics of fear. Shame on you, Hillary Clinton.

Who's acting like Karl Rove now. So I guess if she stays a Senator, she won't be helping with solutions and recommendations any more. If I can't get back to the White House, i'm going to take my ball and go home.

20 years of the same 2 families running this country is not a Democracy.

I just really hope that Hillary supporters still vote Democrat after she loses. You should have more loyality to your party and not just ONE person in your party that you may admire. I support Obama, but if Hillary wins I will vote for her in the general election. WE DO NOT NEED ANOTHER BUSH TYPE PRESIDENT !!! Plus, deep inside, come on Hillary fans, you know you like Obama….

Hillary is so FAKE… tried to force Obama on petty words like denouce vs. reject. Denouce was the proper word Hillary, use a dictionary next time.

However why doesn't she denouce the Latino lady who bashed blacks against latinos on Hillary's behalf? You didn't see Ms. Denounce voice her rejection then did you? How convenient… let's call a spade a spade shall we. If it walks like a duck… guess what?

Yeah..okay keep talking out the side of your neck Sen. Clinton.

Hillary the one!
Mr. Obama…?
Yes you can; but not immendiately (The Economist, P11.)

That part at the end of the ad where she's sitting at a desk burning the midnight oil…take a guess, maybe she's dong her taxes?

I can imagine Hillary answering it and complaining they always call her first.

What I fear the most is Hillary!!!

Hillary..it is as SIMPLE as that. Those who are making personal and gender based attacks on Senator Clinton should be ashamed of themselves. They are more prejudiced than anything else, and as with most prejudiced people, lack critical thinking skills.

Margaret, I was a grandmother at 45 years old. What the hell does "amost a grandmother" have to do with it? Check out the Philly Inquirer and read "Elephant in the room". To think that Obama actually voted for infanticide while he was a state senator makes me sick. Hey, maybe we can start electing 20 year olds to be President, they are alot more virile after all.

Barack H. Obama will freeze like George W. Bush on 9/11

HILLARY will take a deep breath and do the right thing.

Thank you Hillary.
I support Hillary all the way. I still believe that the media does not want her to win. For a while it was getting better but I just saw a spot with McCain and Obama campaigning and what no Hillary. Nothing.
So for me I see a much stronger woman,, human being in Hillary. She has had to fight the media and is still at the very least in a dead heat. Wtih the media on Baracks side, well of corse that will sway voters. Thankss CNN and other new media for electing our president and showing how biased you really are

Hillary psychotic episodes over the last couple of weeks have shown that she is not mentally strong enough to be President (i.e. crying; shouting hysterically, etc). I do not want her or McCain representing this Country anywhere, because they both have shown themselves to be unstable and incapable of controlling their mouths or their actions during this campaign season.

So if we really did have a crisis situation I would like to see the guy who is rational and reasonble making the determination. And that would be President Barack Obama.

I know who I DO NOT want answering the phone. NOT a republican or Obama. There is just one logical, intelligent answer, and if you look deep in your heart, past the polls, and past the fact that you don;t want a women in charge, you will know that Hillary is the ONLY one expereinced enough to handle the situation. ALso, many women run there own HOUSE , and do quite well, Hillary should run the White HOUSE.

When Hillary wins the nomination and becomes a good president, I expect all the haters to come on here and admit they were wrong.

Same for the Barack haters.

Voting to go to war with a country that had nothing to do with attacking us created a brand new home for terrorists in Iraq and made us far less safe. And Hillary, you made that decision when your were wide awake – not at 3:00 a.m. in the morning.

Playing upon our fears to get elected reeks of George Bush, Dick Cheney, and Karl Rove; shame on you, Hillary.

You followed George W. Bush into Iraq and into the politics of fear. Haven't you also followed him in duplicity, denial, and deceit?

why Obama supporters always use the same words and lines in comments? Because they are organized to do so.
Fear mongering… please come up with some refreshing lines.

In response to Mike's comment, experience at what ? Keep it real. That's no more convincing than that fear-mongoring "3am" campaign. The American people have been gravely underestimated. We are not that simple. We know who is efficient in communicating with global leaders and his name is OBAMA.

Playing the fear card, is she trying to remind us just how much a Clinton administration would be more of the same?

John McCain should answer that phone.

I want Hillary to answer that phone. I have been reading Obama supporters comments on this issue and I think they need to be realistic. They are using the argument of the fear factor. What our Country and the world are facing is REAL it is not a political tactic!!! What part of terrorist being intwined with economics do you not understand!!! When we went to war, President Bush has a 92% approval rating. Be honest and tell me how many of Obama supporters were part of that 92%. Do the math it speaks for itself. The American people wanted their sense of security back and rightfully so. But Mr. Bush lied to the people and the house. Why do you think Mr. Powell resigned his position? Hillary was not alone on this. In fact the superdelagates such as Dodd and Biden also voted yes and look who Dodd is supporting now!!!! Its OLD POLITICS AT ITS BEST! We need a President that will not be a puppet for these old time politicians and has the fight to stand up to them. Hillary Clinton has been showing her ability throughout this compaign. We need her strength to move foward while keeping our country safe!!!!! VOTE FOR HILLARY CLINTON "08″

Maybe Obama should show a segment of Clinton when she got angry, asking "do you want someone with a temper like this, being that close to the nuclear button"

I am mother of three and afraid if we elect Obama to our preseident. Our country will be a more mess like now. He's very ignorant and naive on the foreign policy. Obama can can the phoen, but he just talks. He can not execute the actions after answering the phone calls. He'd proably fumble and stumnle on the phone calls just all the debates.

Hillary will answer the phone and takes charge o f the course.

Please everybody do not wote for Obama. If he wins, I'll vote for McCain.

i don't want her answering the call, i am so tired of scare tactics. This just proves that she shouldn't be our president.
Why would we want someone who voted for the war to answer that call.

Barack Obama needs to answer that call for the sake of our children.

yuk! this tasts nasty your OBAMA NEEDS MORE SEASONING………..
HILLARY 08

I want a president who at least knows who Putin's successor may be and understands the politics and motivation of Putin hand-picking that successor. During the last debate, Hillary showed how absolutely savvy she is about foreign affairs and her answer to the question of Putin's successor was detailed and on the money. Obama, when asked the same question, had no clue and sort of shrugged saying, "I think Sen. Clinton pretty well summed it up." Very typical: she has the answers and he says, basically, "Ditto."
I will sleep much better knowing a level-headed, seasoned, tested, experienced, balanced president will answer when that red phone rings in the White House.

Unfortunately, HRC's record in the Senate shows that she should not be the one answering the White House phone at 3AM. She'd probably launch another war based on faulty information. If she can't make a sensible decision in broad daylight, how is she going to make a sensible decision in the early morning?

I am full of fear!
I am so afraid the ignorant voters who put Bush in the WH will give us another amateur figure head president.
I am terrified that Barry Obama will get to the WH and be so strung out with his own self ,
HE WON'T EVEN ANSWER THE DAM PHONE!

Barry Obama in the WH SCARES THE LIVING BEJESAUS outta ME!

HEY HILLARY WHY DON'T YOU JUST SAY ( 911) AND JUST IMPLY WHAT U REALLY MEAN , you are such a two face you lost my vote ,goodby

David Palmer. But since he's fictional, I'll stick with Obama.

Forget politics for a moment, but for the love of God or anything we worship or respect, Clinton's is rank politics. It is the lowest of low to use our children for this purpose. She can do anything else but please, someone please ask her to pull this Orwellian ad or re-work it without using children.

Hillary was under apparent stress this past weekend when she made several outrageous, frustration-filled comments. She threw a temper tantrum. She did not stay level-headed. Now, let me ask, is Hillary the person we want to handle a tremendously stressful situation, given her recent track-record of immature behavior? I say no!

From what we've seen Obama would let the call go to voice mail…a way to answer "present" as it were.

Hey guys don't knock it !…she'll already be waiting up for Bill to get in.
She can throw a lamp at him, and solve world peace all in one full swoop

Anonymous:
I beg your pardon, but Barack Obama is not a rock star. That would be Bill Clinton. He's the one that plays the sax.

And Hillary is his groupie!

If Obama answers the phone, I hope he has his writers next to him, so he will know what to say………Wake up people!!! Hillary is the one prepared, apparently none of you have had the lovely experience of going to a hospital without insurance…..It is humiliating and very difficult to explain. And I hope the people who are backing Obama reallize his lack of knowledge in this case will be detrimental to our country. This is not the time to get on-the-job training, scare tactics???…oh yea, be afraid, be very afraid if Obama gets in the big house!!!!!

Hello… President Obama here at your service… OBAMA '08

It is obvious that the Republicans are voting for Obama so that they can get Hillary out. Once they have Hillary out, they will take down Obama. Hillary is the only one that can debate McCain on the issues including experience. I would prefer to have Hillary picking up that phone at any time of the day. Democrates dont be fouled Obama will be eaten alive come November. Vote for Hillary if you want real change in the Washington DC. If you vote for Obama the White House will remain Republican in 2009.

Obama…of course…proven judgment!!!!!!! LOL…of COURSE he knew Al Queda is in Iraq you numbskull..who doesn't. He was simply answering a hypothetical questions…duh…….

Kennedy, Kerry, Daschle, etc. all voted to give Bush the authority. These same Democrats are endorsing Obama..Change??

Fear-mongering. I'm shocked.

Hillary is the most competent person to answer the call. Obama is not capable of handling our children's safety. Taking it to another level, he is not competent enough to handle the safety of America.

Dear Hilary,
I would want Obama,he would have a cool head.!!!! You Hilary would probably weep,we do not want your tears in a crisis and may I ask did anyone ring the 'white House before 9/11.? I think the disaster had already happened.God rest all who lost their lives therein! Terrorists don't ring to tell you they are going to attack your Country !!!

Barack Obama or John McCain because Hillary will either start shrieking or crying.

WoW! this is a very powerful ad; just reading it made me think twice. This is for real people. It is too important and we have to go with our heads on this, not our hearts.

To tell you the truth, and I am a democrat, I'd rather have John McCain answer the call, rather than Mrs. Meltdown Clinton.

Having to chose between Obama and Clinton, I would chose the former. I don,t think vision, judgment and diplomatic skills have anything to do with experience. You either have it or you don't. It doesn't get more experienced than Donal Rumsfeld. Did he display any judgment!??! Hell Not!

Most of you idiots don't understand. A vote for Hillary, Obama, or McCain is going to be a vote for 4 more years of the same. The only thing that separates the Democrat's and Republican's this year is how much more can you afford to give up in Tax increases. That is the only thing that the Democrat's have shown they are willing to do. They have never met a tax increase they didn't like. Hope? BS.

margaret – the fact that you would choose someone who is in his forties over someone older shows your inexperience.

I think many of you missed the crux of the ad – while your children sleep peacefully someone competent will be answering that call. Lets hope it is Hillary.

As for all this side stepping about the name Hussein – like it or not it is a muslim name and he will make sure he uses it. Before you know it the USA will be signing trade agreements with Iran !

Lets start exposing his ignorance slowly we have until August!!
Hillary all the way!!

Shame on you HRC. How can you resort to using kids in your ads to win? This is more than desperation, this is evil! I WILL NOT VOTE FOR YOU IF YOU WERE THE ONLY ONE RUNNING!

We ALL know that what this ad says is the TRUTH. We can not let Obama get the nomination because the REPUBLICANS will tear him up on the issues that are being leaked a little at a time about Obamas friends and him being the most LIBERAL in Congress. Bill OReilly has been saying for the last month that he has information about Obamas relationships with these shady people but they are checking them out more, because OReilly is waiting hoping he can hold off until Obama gets the nomination then they will come out full force.

Wait a minute. In my last post I said Hillary Clinton polarizes people for some unexplained reason. Then I watched her "Children" ad, and realized THAT was the reason.

Fear. Division. Desperation. Lies.

After 8 years of it…do we need any more?

*************************************

Hold on, so she thinks she thinks that at 3am she will have better judgement then a man who defeated her 11 states in a row?????

If she was so capable why did she loose 11 state elections in a row? It can only mean Barack is more capable, smarter and has better judgement.

As for scaring us by using our kids, that reminds me of the WOLFS add run in 04 by Bush. Shameful then and even more shameful now coming from a defeated democrat that will DO ANYTHING to become president.

I want Barack Obama to answer the phone.

EASIEST QUESTION EVER TO ANSWER NOT SOME ROCK STAR GUY IN AN EMPTY SUIT WHO DOES NOT KNOW AL QUEDA IS ALREADY IN IRAQ BUT AN ADMIRAL PATROIT LIKE PRESIDENT MCCAIN WHO WILL DEFEND OUR COUNTRY AND NOT SELL IT OUT

Obama 08!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thank you Hillary.
I support Hillary all the way. I still believe that the media does not want her to win. For a while it was getting better but I just saw a spot with McCain and Obama campaigning and what no Hillary. Nothing.
So for me I see a much stronger woman,, human being in Hillary. She has had to fight the media and is still at the very least in a dead heat. Wtih the media on Baracks side, well of corse that will sway voters. Thankss CNN and other new media for electing our president and showing how biased you really are.

Go Hillary

Mutombo has experience too, but I'll take Dwight Howard over him anyday. This ad is tawdry; I would rather have the police answering the phone.

In looking back over this entire primary election, I find it interesting that Hillary Clinton, a Yale college graduate, a lawyer (and by the way — she flunked the first bar test she took) just NEVER GOT IT ! Her campaign WASTED MONEY, WASTED TIME, LIED TO THE AMERICAN PEOPLE, AND USED BILL CLINTON TO MAKE HER CASE!! SHE COULD NOT STAND ON HER OWN MERITS!! This campaign was about BILL CLINTON winning again!! She is just a pawn in the mix!! At 3:00 a.m. on ANY morning, I doubt the American people would trust HER to be the Commander in Chief! We need JUDGMENT in the White House!! With the many personalities Hillary Clinton displays, I WOULD NOT EVER FEEL SECURE AS AN AMERICAN CITIZEN ! She certainly is not grounded!! In my mind I can vision "DISASTER" not only in foreign policy, but in healthcare, the economy, poverty, child care, . . . . and the list goes on!! We had one 911. We certainly don't need another!!

The phone isn't ringing at Hillary's White House anyway. Under her leadership, they're short of cash and haven't paid this month's phone bill; but it's OK… She's gonna give them a loan from her personal account to cover the expenses… first thing in the morning.

George W. Bush would approve this Ad "FEAR, FEAR and FEAR"

What people need to understand is (this is a scenario that could and probably will happen in the next adminstration). If you aren't thinking about the future of our children then you're being naive. This is not fear mongering, it's about competence.

Hillary may not be perfect and she may not be slick, but she has the experience to address a foreign or domestic crisis at 3 a.m. or at any other time of the day.

Barack doesn't have the experience or the common sense to safeguard this country. Listen to what Bush and McCain are saying about his foreign policy ideas.

TO ALL OF THE VOTERS IN RHODE ISLAND, VERMONT, TEXAS AND OHIO. PLEASE SUPPORT HILLARY AND GIVE THIS COUNTRY "HOPE" FOR A FUTURE THAT IS SAFE

WOW, what stupid people and stupid comments. Obama should be a blond because he doesn't get it but has a good line and you fall for it every time…it's politics people so of course he is saying whatever makes you idiots happy.

when my children are asleep at night and chaos in the world happens..i want Hillary Clinton to answer the phone with her clear head and mind that she has always had and never abused with drugs or even cigarettes..for the children of America i want Hillary as Commander in Chief

STRAIGHT OUT OF KARL ROVE'S PLAYBOOK, HILLARY!

This is shameful.

I want Barack Obama answering all those calls in the White House. Hillary has way too many personalities for me to deal with.

And for all you who say, "Who cares that Obama opposed the war?", it took A LOT of courage to be against it.

AND HILLARY DIDN'T READ THE INTELLIGENCE REPORT! I DON'T CARE IF THE OTHER SENATORS DID NOT READ IT EITHER, THAT'S A 13 YEAR OLD'S TACTIC TO TRY AND NOT GET IN TROUBLE!

I was in the midwest with no intelligence reports in 2002-2003, AND EVEN I KNEW that going into Iraq WAS NOT THE RIGHT THING TO DO.

If I can make that judgement, and Hillary can't, then I should run for President.

And yes, Obama has voted to fund the war. He cares about OUR SOLDIERS. Not funding the war with Bush in office is leaving them as sitting ducks.

OBAMA '08

Was she in office when the schip program was started for children. Was she a sen. or not? Because if she was not in the office as a sen. How can she say she start the Health Care program for children? That's the same thing that she says about Obama for the Iraq war. From my understanding not one of her proposals made it to the floor for her health care.

I know Obama will make a fine president. I want him to be my President.

Clinton or McCain, no question about it.

Timmy two faced B word she demands Obama denounce and regect one of his supporters. However she said that the racist Latino lady could say what she wanted right. Left it to her useless campaign to denounce and reject. come on Hillary lets see you denounce and regect this ladies support on CNN or are yoyu afraid of losing the racist latino support.

I'm sure she does'nt t want an answer to that question……
because she's got ALL the answers.
Thats the problem!!!!!
We need a TEAM of experts and Obama to answer our Phone

Hillary, thank you for running this ad. It has two great outcomes for Obama.

1. You have once again shown poor judgment in your attempt to fear monger a vote and it will backfire
2. Now any attempt by McCain to use a similar attack will be seen as copy-catting

Wait a minute. Maybe Hillary knows she has lost and my second point is exactly what she is attempting to accomplish! Wow Hillary your the best.

Obama '08

Well it's according to which Hillary answers. The one who gets angry so quickly and rushed to judgement, as she did with the Iraq war? So, many different personalities.

I want Barack to answer.
Si Se Puede!

Please please please stop with these kinds of obscene ads. William Kristol, not too long ago on foxnews, suggested that the way Hillary needed to go after Obama was by using the "politics of fear." That was his exact quote. The politics of fear, partially because of the Democtrats' sheer weakness and a lack of the ability to "risk" their personal political advancement opportunities, allowed Bush and the republicans to literally hijack (pun intended) the political landscape post 9/11. This was a strategy devised, orchestrated and implemented by Karl Rove. Calling these latest Clinton tactics rovian is not only accurate, it might even be an understatement.

Hillary probably lays in bed at night hoping for her "phone to ring" indicating something horrible has happened so that she can capitalize on the fear that would result.

As of yesterday I liked Hillary Clinton. I support Obama but I thought that a lot of the criticisms of her have been exaggerated and at times unfair. I was pretty sure that I would support her if she were the nominee. But this just shows her true colors. It shows that stooping to the lowest form of political games – the manipulation of the American people's fears for the safety of their homes and their families – into a political gain for herself. This is disgusting, and if she's the nominee I absolutely, positively, will NOT under any circumstances vote for her. I'll give my money and my vote to Ralph Nader. Seriously.

THIS IS THE SAME WOMAN WHO CLAIMS TO BE READY ON DAY 1 BUT COMPLAINS ABOUT GETTING THE FIRST QUESTION IN A DEMOCRATIC DEBATE????? GIVE ME A BREAK !!!!

"In the event of a "crisis," it should be Hillary who answers that call.
"Hello,…" EXPERIENCE here.

Hillary 08!!!"

Hey Mike, WHAT EXPERIENCE!!! The only experience I have seen from her in handling a crisis comes from crisis in her campaign. If that is the type of experience she is touting then no thank you. HILLARY CLINTON HAS NO EXPERIENCE. SHE IS TOO UNSTABLE TO TRUST WITH OUR LIVES!

hilary clinton has so much more to offer this country i am 38 voted for john mccain in new hampshire___ when are americans gonna wake up to his change__ change policy thats all he talks about…he is a master at talking..and thats what he will do..my view is he has no experiance in the foreign policy__ please ..do you want him to meet with iran ..please thats a mistake all he is a good talker no experiance at least hillary was in office..and dont think for a moment that she had no decisions in her husbands preidentcy she is very smart… i live in new england i hope whe wins vermont rhode island and ohio …then the the big prize will be pennsyvanyia ..whats ombama did ..nothing but talk a good speech…?????

I don't think any amount of advertising will turn the heads of the Obama supporters because they seem to be unwilling to face the facts. Hillary Clinton is far more experienced than Obama. These over zealous Obama fans are making sure we Dems lose the general election. They need to look at reality. Do they want Obama to win the democratic nomination just to lose the general election or will they wise up and let Hillary win both?

What is funny in a sad kind of way, is that the republicans aren't even hiding the fact that they are supporting Obama to get Hillary out of the race. (as they did hide it in Iowa). a pal of mine in Texas says they have McCain. they are voting for Obama now but have no plans to vote for him in Nov. Saying that his involvement with the Joyce Foundation and his wanting to ban handguns will never get their vote. However if they could stick it to Hillary then why not ,they didn't have anything better to do.

While this ad brings up a good point, which candidate would make you feel safer, I think it will backfire on Hillary. It comes off as fear mongering, which is surely something that will surely turn democrats off after bush used it against Kerry successfully four years ago. Dems will equate this with Bush-esque tactics, even if they think Hillary would keep them safer.

Fear mongering !

Hillary Clinton is running the same campaign George Bush has used to subjugate America the past 8 years. Fear, Fear, Fear

Shame on you Hillary !!!

Go Hillary!!!

I want someone calm, even-tempered, cool and collected..
which means Barak…

OBAMA 08

I think it is a great ad! For John McCain.

Maybe she'll answer the phone and send us into another phony war!!!

VOTE HILLARY!!!

Her experience in making bad judgements is unmatched.

Hillary is just clarifying your own thoughts… bringing them into focus.

George W. Bush would approve this Ad "FEAR, FEAR and FEAR"

This is antiquated fear-mongering at its worst. Billary are using predatory tactics luring images of children to induce your fears. How heartless and calculating. I definitely don't want them answering the phone.

My answer: President Obama.

Where was Obama last year when Afganistan started heading toward being a failed state. He could have fixed NATO. He can't even multi task. Excuses excuses. We can't afford to have that in a Commander in Chief. Please, give me a break. I wouldn't trust him and his judgement. He can however replace Barry White.

Here she goes…….another example of her style….using emotional appeals to parents concerned about their children. She wants to place fear in the minds of Americans to get what she WANTS. Parents should ponder this….do you raise your children out of fear…if not, then why should you be persuaded who to vote for out of fear.

Use good judgment to vote for the candidate with good judgment!

OBAMA '08

Sen. Clinton is doing the same old thing… nothing NEW on her campaign format which is why people are sick of hearing what she has to say. Her entire campaign staffers are just not hitting the mark, they are so far off when it comes to what Americans want and think that is just impossible for her to change her stripes this late in the game.

Is it Hillary calling a superdelegate at 3am?

I think some of you saying Obama should take a little while and think about that. I can't believe you are serious. I am serious and I want someone that is a little older, wiser, and more experience. It's a little more than just hope and change. We live in a scary world.

God willing it's Hillary who answers the phone.

If she had not booked the call with the operator (by voting for the war)
in the first place, the operator would not be calling back.

It depends on the Hillary that answers the phone, the teary one, the angry one, or the dishonest one.

I want the person who is unflappable at all times. The one who does not lose his cool, and did not go taunt the enemy in the first place – Se. Obama. Thank you very much.

Personally, I want John McCain to answer the phone.

The only real test we have of either candidates' judgment is their decision on Iraq. No contrast could be clearer. What else has Hillary done that makes anyone thing her "experience" leads to good judgment? The healthcare debacle of 1993-94? Her vote in Iran? Her views on Pakistan? Her bungled and mis-managed campaign? Not a lot of reinforcement, is there?

Who did or did not oppose the war is old news. Hillary was not the only Senator who voted to go into Irac. Also, only part of the whole picture for that vote is being pointed out. So put a sock in it already. We need to look to the future. Obama does not do anyting frankly – he hides behind the words – I did not do that. We all know what he did not do, but I would lke to know what he has done!!

Hillary is the person who puts herself out there. The war is a wrong war yes, but it was not her "idea" to go there and she never felt comfortable with her vote and she admits that. We are there now and we have to deal with the problems of the present. Hillary is the best and most capable person to do that.

HILLARY FOR PRESIDENT

Who's answering the phone with foreign policy experience if Hillary is President? Bill? Hillary has no experience here. When did she work policy with the Joint Chiefs or the Secretary of State? Did I miss that? Being married to a President only makes you ready to be President in movies.

If the world's "leaders" are like about half of the American people, they can't stand Hillary. Plus her blind pig-headed way of staying the course reminds me too much of a certain President we have now. We need someone that people like, who is flexible, and who is smart. I'll give Hillary smart only; for the rest we need Barack Obama.

FEARMONGERING???

I wouldn't trust an Air Force Pilot carrying my groceries, the
Thunderbird's are a follow the leader, joke kinda flying team
out there.
Maybe if it was a NAVAL AVIATOR I'd listen, they lead, first
and the best Demonstration Team out there.
Hillery's got former military leader's lining up out the door
to support her, so Barrack, get a life, don't destroy our''s
the U.S. deserves the best, Hillery Rodham Clinton.

Clinton and her staff are so pathetic and sad. Perhaps instead of portraying Hillary like she has multiple personality disorder, they could just accept that the reason she is losing to an upstart is because she never had "it" to begin with.

In today's employment market, where the simplest, easiest-to-learn-on-the-job jobs require a resume and multiple interviews, why isn't anyone asking for Obama's resume, and giving it a good look? What if we had an Ultimate White House interview committee that sat the candidates down in the Oval Office and fired hypotheticals and real-time situations at them?

I wish we had such a vetting system, to keep the emotional, naive, simplistic voters from confusing the presidency with Prom. Oh wait – we do! We have the superdelegates! Pray that they do their jobs.

Stop scaring people with stupid ads. What you give is you get back.

Obama is right, you really need him in this critical juncture of US history. US is now tainted as a bully in international arena. In global economy nobody is behind in the race. Most countrys are catching up very fast. Disown the arrogance and embrace the reality of global economy, this only helps this country.

One question, Hillary: Once you've secured the Democratic nomination, will it matter to you that John McCain can then use that same stupid ad against YOU?

This is really politics at its worst, and fear tactics like these insult every (intelligent) voter.

Obama's "right" judgment over the war is really a myth. He is not the senator at the time, and given his background, it's just natural for him to against the war. The point is, for him, against war is not a tough decision to make. He just has the luck.

Hey Mat Erwich, again you're blaming the Victim here!! Hillary of course had nothing to with with her husband's infidelity so stop blaming her you no good chauvanist. We really need people like you picking our president you no good chauvanist! Go to Muslam country and take Obummer with you.

Who's sending out the FEAR? Only Hillary?
I see that OBAMA is doing the same thing.

The only person that I want to answer the phone at 3:00am, in the morning, at the Whitehouse, starting in 2009, is President Barack Obama. He is the only viable candidate right now, that's fully capable and competent enough to administer the type of outstanding leadership that this country deserves.

America can do so much better than where it's at right now, and Barack Obama can show us all the way to a better and brighter tomorrow. Neither will Barack break down and cry at 3:00 in the morning. He will make very sharp and alert decisions that will be in the best interest of this country. We can trust Barack as our President!

if its 3am in the morning and my kids are sleeping why would any1 answer the phone? besides when hillary answered the phone back in 02 she did ok'ed what ever Bush wanted whats going to be so different this time? Obama 08

Of course we want Hillary to be there.

Obama is a joke.

margaret…., you are a very good example of why people seems to put women down and the sad part of it all your name suggest you are a woman…what has age and gender got to do with being a leader. I honestly think Obama is a greater candidate if evrything a president have to do is briing people together…but I believe Hillary will be better in handling crisis.

It is Bush calling to tell Clinton what to do…since she cannot make up her mind herself……she is a fear mongerer like Bush/McCain and the rest……I don't appreciate her condescending, pandering approach to voters…it is extremely insulting to me…..I cannot obviously speak for everybody else…..she already said she will continue bush isolationism and would not change bush policies….how will this be a change from what we are doing now????

Russia and China get all the oil we have "freed" from Iraq….no leaders talk to us, Turkey invades Iraq because we don't like them either……and they do not respect us…..calling us hypocrites and they are correct….I have an ad to hillary: "hill, how's our current strategy of doing everything alone and betraying our "friends" which you propose to continue working???, answer: it's not!!!!"

If i can't win, I don't want my party to win. Truly selfish. Why would I want this person as our president?

Frankly, I'm voting for Obama. But if Hillary wins, I'm not sure Ill vote for her given the way she's run her campaign.

Other than that, I have no problem with the Clintons other than that they're a little more Right than I lean.

Scare tactics as USUAL.

Enough of her. I was starting to lean…but no….

Not this time Hillary. I'm sorry, but you're finished.

The phone rings at 3am at the White House….Hillary picks it up and its the Secret Service telling her Bill is face down in the gutter somewhere with an intern under each arm

one more thing…i'm tired of Hillary's No You Can't campaign. you can lead a country with the mantra "No You Can't"!

Clinton going with fear mongering now. So how is she different then George Bush?

History dictates that a republican is best suited to answer that call…

Hillary needs to answer the call!
I don't want to "Hope" my grandchildren are safe. Hillary knows the answers to make it happen.

It’s 3 a.m. and your children are safe and asleep. Who do you want answering the phone?”

Gee, that's a tough question. We're-gonna-be-fine Hillary? Shame-on-you-Hillary? Crying-Hillary? Meet-me-in-Ohio Hillary? Life-is-so-unfair-because-of-my-gender-Hillary?

I think overall we'd be safer if Obama answered the phone than someone who is showing all the symptoms of having a multiple personality disorder.

I'll 2nd alot of people above — I'd rather have Barack Obama answering that phone. I got a chance to be apart of one of the "big rallies and the big speeches" last night and it was a great experience. This guy is poised to bring about "Real" change, we just have to give him the opportunity.

Obama 08!

Why does Hillary resort to fear tactics?

Taking a page from Bush's book?

Hillary gets condemned whether she does or she doesn't simply because the media played favorites to Obama. We supported her for over the past year as our leader and now you abandon her. And they talk about canidates flip flopping. Stand by the one that 1 year ago we know would lead our country out of debt and war instead of someone who hid in the shadows for the past year in order to be the new kid on the block right now. He was out there one year ago, where were you???
Pat

How sad that she will do anything to win, to the point of putting doubt about Obama, so when he does win she will have already supplied the Republicans with their ammo….There are several military personnel who are in support of Obama, too.

Please tell me Ms. Clinton how much experience do you have. If you are going on your 8 years in the White House, then you too were aware of Bin Laden.

What to see more on the Clintons Google Clinton Convicts and then you can see what we will be getting phone calls about at 3 a.m.

Release your tax returns and WH papers, Ms. Clinton.

Hillary haters, shame on you!!!!

Whenever Hillary does something, you degrade it!

Folks be fair and be smart. Don't make the same mistake 7 years ago.

Call on the whole world! Vote for Hillary!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I want Hillary to take the call for President Obama … LOL

Why would I want her to answer that call? They didn't fix the problem back in 1993 when we were first attack in New York City! NOW!!! Too late for her to answer the call for my kids. Obama is more the welcome to answer for us in my home.

The democratic party, the party of fearmongering. Thanks Hillary.

Hillary has been put to the test. That test was the 2002 vote on whether to invade Iraq or not. She failed the test…

How is this ad any different then 2004 (fearing up votes). In the end, this is the last desperate act of a campaign that is down to its final few days of viability.
The Clinton camp can twist the ad any way they want, but if you are showing children sleeping and its about their safety, then its clearly fear mongering. Otherwise, why not show a school, a factory, a hospital.

It will all be over soon. That ad represents everything people are tired of seeing.

this week we saw Hillary being HAPPY, ANGRY, SARCASTIC, ANGRY

Which Hillary would she answer the call?

I think I want the person with the cool head.

Does the Hillary camp realize they need landslide victories in both Ohio and Texas in order to even come close to winning the nomination? And do they know it is impossible at this point? Have they looked at the current polls?

They may want to borrow some of Huckabee's miracles.

Hillary has great experience and great plans. Unfortunately, her name is Hillary Clinton and (for some unexplained reason) she polarizes people.

When she loses Texas (and possibly Ohio), she needs to drop out of the race so Barack Obama can defeat Dubya 2.0 in November.

Wow, using fear as a campaign tactic. How refreshing. I think I'd like the man who had the good judgement to oppose this God awful mess of a war to answer that call. Please be the one to pick up, Senator Obama.

I will pick Judgement over Experience anytime. Sorry Hillary Clinton

I'd much rather have Hillary on the end of the line. Having Obama repling " a duh, um, er, aw,duh – I"ll let Hillary answer that" is not an option!

Whose fear-mongering now? Who is taking plays from the Karl Rove playbook? When did Karl Rove join Hillary's campaign? If it is security
you are concerned about, shouldn't you be voting for Republican's in the first place? I mean, when did Hillary Clinton do anything about
securtiy. The Clinton's are scared to release their tax returns?!! What
the hell would they do if they had a real crisis situation?

Someone who doesn't even know which version of herself she is and is borderline personality disorder. Someone who is playing the fear card just like Bush and Cheney. Someone who will save humanity from the mushroom cloud and the big bad terrorists.

What a joke the woman has become! Actually, more of a joke than she already was.

She couldn't handle being asked the first question in a debate, critcism on NAFTA or in a health care flyer, how is she going to handle any type of crisis? Shame on you bad guys for threatening our children while they sleep at night and why are you bothering me at this ungodly hour while I sit at my desk working the night shift form my last bad commercial!

Wow is Obama petty! I don't want someone like that in the White House. He just can't let Hillary have what may be her last moment; he always has to "lash" back. He sees she has a good commercial out now and he has to come on the very next day with another on to try to top her – he thinks this is a beauty contest – He's a big baby. Come on Hillary, show us you can make it happen. I will stand by Hillary no matter what.

"FEAR BOMB."

Hillary's experience has shown that she may answer the phone and then make the wrong decision.

I want Obama to pick up the phone.

Ring, Ring..

"Hello, Bill Clinton here, How may I help you?"

Hillary is too incompetent on foreign affairs as evident in her vote to GO TO WAR!

OBAMA '08!!!!

I would like barack to answer the phone. He knows how to deal with any body people can judge by seeing how he handled his campaign.

I want Barack answering the phone, Hillary. Stop trying to sound like George W. Bush; maybe you'll get more votes.

HILLARY = REPUBLICAN

OBAMA. OBAMA. OBAMA.

Re: Gen McPeak,
Can you imagine if BO were President before Desert Storm and he opposed the war 'from the start'? Iraq would be all over Kuwait and the hugh Oil reserves and our gas would have been over $10.00 14 years ago. Hind sight is great – however HRC had just seen 9/11 close up and personal in her very own state, plus Bush having a 80% approval rating, plus Gen. Colin Powell (who by the way far out ranked Gen. McPeak during desert storm, was Secretary of State who convinced congress and the UN that Iraq had WMD). How would you have voted – and remember the vote was overwhelming.

I for one would feel much safer with HRC at 3 AM (not to mention Bill nearby) then with BO stuttering and wondering what Hillary would do!

wow. And Hillary thinks Obama is acting like Karl Rove?

After seeing the last debate, I would definately want Obama to get that call. She gets flustered and testy under pressure.

that 'gulf' ad says he opposed the war from the start? Well, it's one thing to oppose and it's another to have actually had to vote on it which he did not. Obama is a hypocrite. He voted to fund the war when he finally did come on the scene just a few short years ago. His whole campaign has been based on what he didn't do in the past. Personally, I don't see how that qualifies him for anything much less Commander-in-Chief. He needs to go back to not voting in congress, (voting 'present' 130 times), and go back to being the typical politician that he has pretended not to be.
Anybody but Obama 08…….

Obama? Vote for change? Somebody to hope for? Excuse me, you don't have the track record and the credibility to pick up that phone. You opposed the Iraq war! It is just like ignoring the 9/11 just happened because of some conspiracy theory. The Iraq/Afghanistan war was the resolve of that fateful day, Mr. Obama, lest the United States of America forget.

Mrs. Clinton? Absolutely, no doubt, YES! Ohio, Texas, Vermont and Rhode island the country needs your votes to get this remarkable woman to get into office. The stakes for this is the US economy which the Clintons have good track record in dealing with.

My answer is the Democrat nimination in November. But for now, I would answer Obama if I was certain he has enough experience. This is a taugh job and we cannot give it to someone whom looks likable or talks good. We have to give it to someone who has shown is able to handle it. I will go for Clinton for so many reason regardless whether she is a good talker or not, or even whther I like her or not. This is not about Clinton or Obama; this is about our Country, and also about the world.

Please explain to me why this tactic is any different from the GOP telling us that if we vote for Democrats, we're more likely to be attacked!!!!!!!

My god, she is using Karl Rove's playbook!

OF COURSE HILARY SHOULD ANSWER THAT CALL.
VERY OBVIOUS NO?
OBAMA IS RUNNING AROUND CHASING VOTERS WHEN HE MISSED A LOT OF MOST IMPORTANT VOTES IN THE SENATE AND ALSO THE OVERSIGHT COMMITEE.CME ON OBAMA YOU TO YOUNG FOR THIS ONE.

Two words: President Obama

Barack Obama will answer the call. With intelligence and common sense. That make me feel safe. The bad judgement of Hillary contributed to send our troops to the wrong country.

In other words Hillary is telling us. IF YOU DON'T VOTE FOR ME YOUR CHILDREN WILL ALL DIE,DIE,DIE!!

Pack it up Hillary, you're done.

Is there anything Hillary won't try to insult voter's intelligence? Now its
our children. My 5 year old saw this ad and it scared her to death. She
said "mommy, please don't let the Hillary get me".

Obama 08.

I want Obama to answer the phone.

Shameless. Ruthless. Republican/Rovian? Hillary.

Hillary of course!!!

Have you seen how Hillary has been in the last debate and in the last few tV commercials before the debate . She is almost cracking under pressure. Of course I want Obama to answer the phone!!!

Excellent Ad.

Well…I would not want Hillary to take the call because she would go ballistic and scream "Why do I always get the first call??!! It's so unfair!!"

Yes, Hillary…spend millions on a TV ad on a message that has proven ineffective over the last 10 election, if not the primary as a whole. Uh,change trumps experience in this election.

What's your new campaign theme? "Hire me." That's also brilliant. Remind people how much it sucks looking for a job. Link that hopeless feeling to your candidacy. That will really inspire a vote a confidence.

"Hillary Clinton 2008: Pity Me, Save the World"

Obama – bring it home, homie.

If this situation would happened ,Obama would probably call his campaign manager to find out what he should do. Now ,if this happened during a debate he could then simply listen to Hillary.

This is not a joke. The junior senator, Obama, simply does not have the experience. In fact, one of the major TV station ran a video of Obama when he first became a senator. He was asked if he was considering a run for president. Obama himself said : I am not ready to run for president as I need more experience.

This video should be shown again and frequent.

The clear answer is Obama — steady and wise. Gosh WHICH Hillary would answer? Crabby Hillary? Sweet Hillary? Misty Hillary? Theatrical Hillary? Talk about a roll of the dice!
(CNN, this is my 8th attempt in the last week to add a comment, and you haven't posted even one. Why?)

I said it before and I'll say it again. Obama is just an empty shell.
No experience over the years, was never in the military, who is he
to lead this country….just words, words,and more empty words.

Hillary has had the experience and I will take her over Mr. Obama
anytime…

Is he going to go to school if elected (he reminds me of Pres. Bush)
who had to take instructions in the beginning.

What a mistake it would be for him to be the President of the U.S.

If Barak Obama is just a "blank screen," Hillary is nothing more than a "hot flash."

How dare she portray a man with a lifetime of achievements that even most Americans don't have under their belt at his age, and who has fought descrimination his whole life to achieve what he has done as "just a blank screen." She really is getting desperate now, isn't she? Or is that just the hormonal, post-menopusal mood swing talking? Do we really want THAT in the White House with its finger on the "button" while are children are home, safe, and sleeping?

Haha….Hillary using Bush's fear mongering tactics. Don't fall for Hillary's fear ads people….she is the same old tired Bush-Clinton clan.

gObama!

Clinton will attend funeral for Dallas police officer.

That’s one of many reasons why I think that Hillary is the best among these candidates, fighting for the real issues and caring about ordinary people as well.

Hillary is caring and thoughtful. She even cares about and understands those friends who switched their support from her to Obama. She respects her opponents. This is a great character and moral that we Americans desperately need, especially from our president.

WHAT HAPPENED TO ENDING THE POLITICS OF FEAR CLINTON????? YOU ARE USING REPUBLICAN TACTICS. THAT IS HOW BUSH WON THE LAST ELECTION!!!!

OBAMA 08

It should be it is 3:00 AM Hillary..do you know where Bill is?

there is only one person who should be answering that phone and it is Hillary!
Go HIllary!!

Hmmmm…when positivity does not work, try scaring the heck out of everyone with ads like these! Does anyone recall the "nuclear attack" Johnson ads with the countdown??

Hillary – you are getting DESPERATE! Weren't you supposed to be coronated by now? And it has come down to THIS?

Shame!

I don't want Hilary answering the phone, and then chaning her mind about her decision years later after so many lives have been taken!

OBAMA 08′!!

Barack would have to put them on hold and then get advice from someone else. I just cannot support him. He is an amateur.

Sounds like the old politics of fear at work. I don't believe this will work on Democratic voters who are sick of this game. I believe that Barack Obama can win the general election by inspiring new voters to care about the future of this country again, not by scaring people into voting for him.

That being said, I would like to thank both Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton for being brave enough to do something that has never been done in our history. It is about time we have a group of candidates that actually looks like America. Whoever wins, both of these candidates deserve our respect and appreciation. Thank you Sens Clinton and Obama!

Mom in PA – GOOD FOR YOU!!!
I TOTALLY AGREE!! SHAME ON YOU HILLARY CLINTON FOR TRYING TO USE PEOPLE'S CHILDREN TO SCARE A VOTE FOR YOU FROM PARENTS!!!!

SHAME! SHAME! SHAME!

I REJECT AND DENOUNCE YOUR FEAR-MONGERING TACTICS!!

GO OBAMA!!!!!!!
YES WE CAN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Way to little, Way to late. Here's a novel idea: How about an ad that portrays a whining or crying hillary before the joint chiefs of staff when they don't agree with her proposals. War for all intent and purpose is a man thing that requires skill sets and attributes women just do not have not to mention good and sound "Judgement" which hillary clinton clearly does not have being she was for this war from the begining and now says she made a mistake. Picture that…a women that admits to making a mistake, it's beyond hypocrasy.

If Hillary answers, she will likely whine, "Why do I always get the first question?!"

Barack Obama has my full confidence.

I believe that Obama has proven that he has no understanding of national security and what it will take to maintain the level of security that we currently enjoy. Thanks to Mr. Bush and our wonderful troops, we, as Americans, can sleep well at night.

Yesterday, I tried to post my feelings along the same lines. There was a post about a "kid" playing in a sand box. It never made it through moderation. I will try again. With two wars, a looming recession, Pakistan in chaos, turmoil in the mid east, gas approaching $ 4,00 a gallon, Iran wanting to go nuclear and the guy in North Korea not doing what he agreed to, I can only say God Help us-God help us! If we put this kid in charge. He makes a good speech, but I don't think a good speech will take care of all these issues. I "hope" the Obama supporters "change" their mind before they vote.

HILLARY , READY ON DAY 1

Who? Well, it would be the candidate that has shown the greatest amount of respect during this race. Respect for voters. Respect for tbe other candidates. Respect for the process and the rules of our country. The candidate that has shown management skills, peoiple skills, organizational skills. The candidate that has shown consistently good judgement – even when others disagreed.

That would be Barack Obama.

FEAR, FEAR, FEAR, FEAR, FEAR

since 2004 americans have been forced to vote for politicians out of fear. hillary clinton has hit an all time low with this ad. this is fear-mongering and insults my intelligence. if this is the way she sees herself winning the dem. nomination then americans will be forced in november to vote for mccain. because mccain has the better judgement and will display that judgement at 3am while the children are sleeping.

OBAMA!!!!!!!! VOTE FOR CHANGE!!!!!!!!

Hillary, I don't want the phone call to disturb my kids sleep. That is so slick.
Children already are busy making through this life. They should not be involved in politics.
I hope Obama won't use my kids as a pray to get in the White House as Hillary just did.

Clinton Camp still getting it wrong. If they are pushing the agenda that the next President of the United States have the most experience, "Whether it’s someone who already knows the world’s leaders, knows the military", then they are serving it up to John McCain. Sen Clinton actually looked good in the last debate (aside from the whining about being asked questions first, which the next president would have to answer). She had substance in her answers, the answers were complete and she seems in command of the knowledge. She should stick to that. If she keeps beating the drum of old – vs – new, Experience – vs – inexperience, she will loose and loose bad!

The advertising wars have begun!! Obama hasn't got a clue about foreign policy and this, in part, is what will sink his ability to be president. Hillary knows what she's doing when it comes to foreign policy and she is, and will, protect our country.

Hillary '08

and who … what will you do

Hillary Clinton has no military experience and no executive experience. She has one term as a U.S. Senator. Unless she obtained experience by osmosis from her husband (whose military moves were a joke) I don't believe I'd want her answering the phones in the White House over Obama. Maybe she wants to be the White House switchboard operator.

Hillary's decades of experience in the U.S. Senate, and her years as a 4-star General clearly give her the Experience edge over Obama.

What's that? She actually has LESS experience than Obama and all of these things I've been reading about her having more experience are lies? Wow, what a surprise!

Oh Senator Clinton…. fear mongering has worked so well this primary. I really think this commercial will push you over the top.

Typical fear mongering. Are we sure she isn't a Republican???

I want Barack answering the phone. You never know which of Hillary's multiple personalities will pick up anyway…..

You just play into Obama every time Hillary.

Fear mongering at its finest.

We want Obama to answer the phone.

The real point of the ad is not fear – but that we are electing a President – not a feel good Guy.

Obama will have no idea what to do when that phone rings. He is clueless.

Hillary all the way.

When did it become American to be scared all the time?

Ring. Ring.

"Barack Obama, president of the United States of America, here."

Oh, thank God.

It's 3AM, and my children are asleep, and the phone at the White House rings – Who do I want answering the phone? Maybe it's Bill, sneaking home from a booty call, calling because he can't find his keys!

No thanks, I'll let Obama answer it. At least I know where he's been all night.

I was going to vote for Hillary before the primary started, but after I saw Barack Obama's speeches and debates and read his books, I knew that Obama would make a far better president than Hillary -

Hillary, given her huge advantage (name recognition, money, and access to the best consulting people in the field), could not hire the right people, delieve the right message that make people vote for her – when face defate, she did not show inner strength and character that would be a must for a president -

So, if Hillary loses, it wasn't anything wrong, it is the right thing – she should lose because she has showed herself to be NOT competent at all to be the president – in a word, she just not qualified for the job.

WHy can't you JUST have an article about Hillary. Why do you always have to add something about Obama and try to take away from something Hillary has done? Please stop and have fair press!! No Hillary , no vote in this household!

I'm growing tired of this experience thing with Hillary. It doesn't work. Bill Clinton had no Federal experience either and is considered a great President. While I agree to some extent that experience may help, it doesn't help if you don't have sound judgements. Each candidate can throw issues at each other. They always find something or someone to dispel those issues. It is up to the voters to make up their minds. I only ask that all commenters stop with the negative talk (conservitave or liberal). Let the candidates do their jobs and you do yours by voting, whoever that may be.

More fear-mongering…what is wrong with these people?

This is disgusting fear mongering at its finest. Thanks Camp Clinton, for pushing our democratic values out and inviting ugly right-wing Rovian tactics into the debate.

The next time you decide to "shame" one of the candidates in this race, Hillary, why don't you turn your big, fat hammy finger on yourself?

@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@

This is just more SHAMEFUL FEAR MONGERING by the Clinton Campaign.

Clinton is not ready to lead on day one BECAUSE SHE WAS WRONG ON DAY ONE!

Clinton is SHIFTY, DISHONEST, AND DIVISIVE. There is NO WAY she is ready to lead this country.

Hillary Clinton, please KEEP YOUR WORD and release your tax returns. What are you hiding?

@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@

I have come to the conclusion that this has become a very unfair election. McCain won by default and now Republicans are voting for Obama just so Hillary doesn't win. It breaks my heart. Hillary should be the next President.

Billary, this campaign is not about experience or how you've visited and being friends with every country in the world, but about JUDGEMENT and making the right decision for america.

HILLARY when the phone rang at 3am to Vote for the War in Iraq, you and George Bush and John McCain voted YES.

Obama made the right Judgement and said NO to Iraq War!

So this time, I cannot be fooled twice. And to answer your question: Who do you want answering the phone at 3am?”

BARRACK OBAMA – VOTE FOR CHANGE!

GO OBAMA!!!

I know who I DON'T want in the White House: someone who flips out like a raving lunatic because she's asked the first question during a debate.

Sorry I meant 8 years.

Sometimes I wonder,does Hillary know that she is 60 years old and almost a grandma? That she is running against a Young man of 46?

What makes her think she can convince any sane person that a 60 year old woman will be better able to answer the phone at 3.am than a 46 year old man?

Yes its not about gender and age but sincerely can you ignore these?

Infact she shocks us with the kind of things she says.

Everybody (race, gender,age etc notwithstanding) knows that the strength and virility of a 60 year old woman cannot in anyway be compared with the strength and virility of a 46 year old man.

Everybody but Hillary…and maybe Bill.

The ad asks a great question!

My answer: I want Obama to answer the phone.

Darth Cheney knows world leaders and the military too…it doesn't mean we want him as president.

As far as "tested" well, neither Hillary or Obama is. But neither was any recent president.

I guess, let the fear mongering begin. Didn't we want a break from 4 years of this. Oh well.

OBAMA HAS NOTHING OF HIS OWN. XEROX MACHINE FOR SURE. LOOSER, AMERICA WILL REALISE WHEN IT IS TOO LATE WHENYOU HAVE ENTERED THE WHITE HOUSE. BY THEN IT IS OVER FOR AMERICA

IT DOES NOT WORK!!! IT WILL BACKFIRE!!!

GO OBAMA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
WE LOVE YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

In the ad by Ms. Clinton … who do you want to answer that telephone call … as a mom, and American citizen … BARACK OBAMA resoundingly! Judgment is the key to handling crises … not so-called "experience."

CNN, please.

i would want BARACK OBAMA to pick up that phone, hillary!!!
yeeeeeehawww from texas!

It's fine to oppose a war, BUT WE ARE ALREADY IN A WAR.

The Obama argument about his past opinions is old. We all know that the votes were based on info given to them at the time. We need someone who can answer about the future!

Obama blundered on a question about AQ in Iraq. He's clueless.

HILLARY FOR PRESIDENT OR 4 YEARS OF MORE BUSH (MCCAIN)VS PRESIDENT 101 (OBAMA). YOU CHOOSE AMERICA.

I don't want someone in the White House who will be more interested in what is good for her political career than in actually solving a crisis. No thanks.

no doubt in my mind-Hilary Clinton-having obama on that phone reminds one of Jimmy Carter and his "love your enenies" policy-never mind that they are evil and will only tell you what they want you to hear-then stab you in the back. American Idols do not a President make–even a cute one who says he looks good in both boxers and
regular skivies!

Who wants a Clinton in charge in a real crisis situation, she couldn't even avoid a marriage crisis, she is the last person I want in charge if a phone rings at the White House. Sorry Hillary, but no.

Shame on you Hillary!!!!!!!!! As a mom, I am tried of having politicans use my children to try to scare me into supporting them. My choice is HOPE! OBAMA 2008!

This is a great add! And my answer is that I want it to be President Obama in the White House to pick up the phone at 3 A.M. when there is a crisis somewhere in the world. Hillary acts schizophrenic during the day and early evening hours as it is, I can't even imagine how moody she would be at 3 P.M. Good Lord protect us from her mood swings. Hillary will do anything to get to the power. And why would I believe someone whose husband looked at the nation in the eye and told us that he didn't have any relationship with "that" woman when in fact it was proven to be a lie?

It's simple:

Hillary Clinton is running the same campaign George Bush has used to subjugate America the past 8 years. Fear, Fear, Fear. In the corporate world, it's known as FUD (Fear, Uncertainty, and Doubt). This is Rovian at its worst.

Texas, Ohio, Vermont, and Rhode Island: please tell this campaign America is above these tactics and that we can no longer be hoodwinked it voting for someone because they try to scare us.

Wow.. she will be up at night just to take that Phone call…??? I would want my President to sleep well so he could make sound judgements in the morning…

Agian, why would I call White House at 3am when my Children are safe and sleeping…?

Hillary, must you REALLY ask who I want answering the phone? Well, just to give you a hint…it's not YOU!

What bunk! When are people going to realize Obama may have opposed the war but he was not in office to face that vote. He as in Chicago and had no voice to stop it. He has voted every time to support Bush and the war he created.

There's no doubt in my mind that Hillary is the better qualified candidate on foreign policy. I believe that Obama has good intentions but we're in too much trouble to think that we can
all just sit down and break bread together. We can thank the current administration for that.
I still say Clinton/Obam is a team that would be quite the force to reckon with.

This is really an ad. that would be great for John McCain. When I first saw it I thought of John McCain immediately. Even when I saw Sen. Clinton answering the phone, I actually thought that she was making the call … to John McCain! This ad will not help her IMO because she is giving free advertisement for the republican candidate.

I would like Hilary to answer the call. She's ready!

This Clinton ad sure sounds a lot like something the RNC would run.

Why did Hillary decide to steal the "Tested and Ready" line from Rudy? If it didn't work on the Republican side, how is it going to work with Dems?

The fear card won't be bought by the people again. "Save your children, vote for Hillary" … ridiculous. Hillary should be taking time to show us how new, progressive ideas are the solution, rather tha n telling us to be worried about our children dying in some attack.

Nobody has listened to her sophisticated foreign policy proposals. They are better, but people don't care. So, she decided to kick it up and try to hit people where they live. Some people will not like it. However, it should at least wake-up some people. I like Obama, but I want Hillary taking that call. Beyond all the personal attacks that the anti-Hillary group likes to level, I bet a lot of other people out there want Hillary to take that call as well.

“It’s 3 a.m. and your children are safe and asleep. Who do you want answering the phone?”

I dunno, I think you without makeup on at 3 a.m. is more scary than anything that can be on the other side of that phone call…

It's easy to oppose a war when you're in the Illinois legislature with no responsibility or knowledge about it.

It's time to play hardball. GO HILLARY!!!

The Republicans are speaking of the "surge" like that forgives the decision to be there in the first place! For those who are capable of remembering, the surge would not have been something we had to resort to if we had not invaded Irag in the first place. POOR DECISION that finally find a solution are no less a Poor Decision.

Poor Poor Hillary and Poor Poor Bill!

They are so desperate!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Neither of them has good judgement.

Sheer desperation.

Clinton's campaign gets uglier and uglier as it goes down.

For the good of the party, end this on March 4th! The logner Clinton hangs in there, with no chance of victory, but just to tear down and smear the eventual nominee, she is aiding the GOP.

Hillary, do the RIGHT thing!! Please end this now!

A now she resorts to fear…typical.

In the event of a "crisis," it should be Hillary who answers that call.
"Hello,…" EXPERIENCE here.

Hillary 08!!!

I want Barack to answer the phone

“It’s 3 a.m. and your children are safe and asleep. Who do you want answering the phone?”

I want Barack Obama to answer that phone.

I am certain I want Hillary Clinton to respond to that phone call as my grandchildren are sleeping. Hillary can see the whole picture, has the knowledge, experience, and heart to lead our country.

The United States of America will be safe in her hands.

“It’s 3 a.m. and your children are safe and asleep. Who do you want answering the phone?”

Obama thank you very much.

Very true, do we really want the Obamateur in the white house?
