There was another major endorsement yesterday, but the media failed to report it. Four star General Shelton (retired), former member of the Joint Chiefs of staff during the administrations of George W. Bush and Bill Clinton endorsed Hillary Clinton. In addition, Obama stated today that Senator Rockefellow voted against the war. He did not! He voted for it, plus an Obama Aide on national TV said the same thing. Elmer Gantrey is alive and well and his name is Obama. The number of Flag Officers to endorse Hillary Clinton now stands at 28 Admirals and Generals. I doubt that Obama has any. They want Hillary at that red phone, not him, he who still plays in a sand box.

Reject – refuse, rebuff, decline or to deny.

Denounce – criticize something publicly and harshly; charge someone with wrongdoing;
Announcement of the end of an agreement
THIS SEEMS STRONGER!!!!!

It's a shame when men and women who are supposed to be impartial and be respected for it start allowing themselves to be used as a mop... This war veteran has no substance in his argument he is advancing. How can you even compare who has more spine over war issues between McCain and Hillary Clinton?

Look at the way he is trying to chew with both hands. While he is saying Clinton won't hesitate to trigger war, he is also trying to say she will use it wisely... You are either for the war or not for the war, and not both at any time!

First and foremost....all the candidates are US Senators and deserve respect for that.

I will not support any candidate that:

Is an advocate for nuclear weapons-

Is an advocate of NAFTA – see news regarding letter to Canada

Is an advocate of disenfranchising millions of democratic voters – that is NOT democratic

Is an advocate of the 'haves' and 'have nots' for health care – that is devisive!

Plays 'follow the leader' too well – what would this person do if there was no one to follow?

Parrots responses all to often – or uses others words for speeches – is there an original thought in there?

Has admitted poor judgment and seems to have made fun of the fact that he voted on something that he knew was wrong and voted that way anyway....and all after being a Constitutional Law Professor.

So lets turn off the telepromters!!!!!!!!! Vote for the leader, vote for change and experience, vote for the White House........Vote for Hillary Clinton!

Everyone knows her so well, but not for Obama. We have no idea how he will behave when he is president, because he has limited history to prove how he will act in numerous issues.

Additionally, it is too risky for Obama to be president at this time, since he can't prove it from his records. And if he is found related to the Rezko's case later after become Democrat nominee this will ruin the whole Democratic Party in Nov. Too much risk to take at this time to vote for Obama.

if anyone is wondering why cnn is starting to show a lot of hillary articles and talk about her more and being easier on her lately, it is because cable news want hillary to do real well this tuesday because they realize if Obama was to win big on tuesday then they wouldnt have anything to talk about for the next few months. so essentially the new networks and newpapers need hillary to do well in order to keep getting the ratings they have been getting.

Yet another Obama supporter who has difficulty with facts.

Clinton has how many flag officers supporting her? Obama has Rice and she can't figure out Clinton's experience. Typical.

Oh, that's right... Obama didn't vote against the war.

Thanks, General Clark, you're a good man and one of America's great military leaders. Finally, someone with great character and credibility, and knows what it takes to be a leader.

It’s important to give respect to whom respect is due. Senator McCain, Senator Obama, and Senator Clinton are our leaders in the united states senate. We need them. I wont disrespect them but will honor their service to our great country. I think the insults each of them face are unfair, because there are good things to be found in each of them. I think Senator Obama is very inspirational and encourages people to believe in hope. He has done a great job uniting many in the democratic party. I hope when all is said and done, we will come together as a party and support the nominee.

If Senator Obama wins, I will support him. If it’s Senator Clinton, I will support her.

General Clark is supporting Hillary because he knows she will make wise decisions. It's time to get serious because there are many crisis in this world demands immediate attention. We need Hillary. Right now she is the best choice. Hillary has a heart for this country and loves America very much. She's proud of our country and will give all of herself to being its servant. I supported her in the past, and will remain faithful to her even if she doesn't win. She may not win every battle, but she will not back down from anyone. She's a tough leader with a gentle heart.
Some will put her down, but many admire her for standing up for those whose voices are ignored. I cant wait until Jan 20, 2009, when the announcer will say, Hillary Rodham Clinton, next president of the United States.

I love this country. I served in the military for 20 years. If I have to go back and serve again, I will do so without hesitation. “I’m proud to be an American, where at least I know I’m free.”

General Clark recognizes who will best serve our armed forces as commander in chief. I'll be glad to have someone who cares about our men and women in uniform and will support them in the time of need.

Hillary Rodham Clinton, the best choice for the United States of America. Land of the free and the home of the brave.

It's funny how the Obama backers are complaining now that he's being scrutinized. This is just a peak into the future "IF" he becomes the nominee! He can't handle it, and his arrogant demeanor and empty speeches will be his downfall, b/c most Clinton backers will vote for McCain! Be realistic, you he's the ultimate divider!

Finally heard something new from obama last nite, though did just leave me with more questions. He said he would listen even when we don't agree and went on to say "oh yes there will be times we don't agree" to his supporters---who my surprise just applauded and cheered like this was something they should be happy about. Of course I can't help but ask,---keeping in mind it's just before the texas and ohio primaries that he says this----please explain more mr obama, what those things might be that his supporters won't agree with him on are? I think this is a ratioanl question, and goes back to what I've said before about his statements having only so much infomation before he starts up with his catch phrases and empty words.

Fight to the bitter end baby, its Barack who will destroy this party. Easily 30% of democrats for Hillary I talk to will go to Mccain

As a 25 year old I will do the same. I dont want admanidijad to claim he brought the US to its knees when Obama goes to meet him for no reason

I dont want to fail in getting universal health care

I dont want another president who HAS to rely on his advisors.

I want a strong president with a plan!!!

I'm not sure what I think about anyone who talks about dropping bombs and uses the word "Wonderful" in the same sentence. I hope that Vietnam veterans at least react to that one. And how wonderful was it when the government bombed Cambodia for a year without telling the people of the US or even Congress? WONDERFUL.

Bombs are the scourge of modern warfare. There is nothing wonderful about dropping bombs, male or female.

I don't get it. We (Democrats) have fought against politicians trying to manipulate American voters by appealing to their fear of terrorism....Hillary Clinton is taking a "page right out of Karl Rove's playbook" and for one – I'm mad as hell!

As Bill Clinton himself once said (paraphrased), when there are two candidates and one is preaching fear and one is preaching hope: choose the one with hope!

Yes, Bill – I will!

As a matter of fact it really worries me to think that Obama is untouchable and cannot be spoken about by other candidates??? He is no God, and deffinitly no prophet, but hey Open your eyes america because he is being treated like one.

Well she will be fighting from Day One.

Because neither the republicans, Obama supporters, Nadar supporters nor much of anyone else will be on her side.

She agreed with Bush on the Iraq.
She agreed with Bush on Iran.
She agrees with Bush not talking to foreign leaders.

She is Bush-lite.

Okay, let us be fair on this; Sen. Clinton was endorsed by well known and veteran Generals and Admirals which they think wholeheartedly is the better candidate to answer that 3 a.m. call. Who is this Dr. Susan Rice endorsing Obama who has never been to war, led troops in a war or not even during peace time. I am telling you voters all along that Sen. Clinton is your choice so that you will never have to worry about that 3 a.m. phone call! Hillary 08 or nothing!

Clark is right, Hillary is the one candidate that can lead this country and can get us out of Iraq safely. She is a woman that has worked intently at everything she has done. She has an enormous grip on foreign and domestic policies and progressive politics is one of her strong points. She's better qualified and is dedicated to detail. She is also the one candidate that can make universal health care happen. Our economy was more sound than it had been in many years during her husbands career and I know she will get us back on track. She is the one who can do all this and more.

By: dan

dan — Mon, 03 Mar 2008 00:40:33 +0000

Oh please... General Clark can't be serious. Saying that Shrillary's years as first lady have given her experience to be commander in chief and she is more prepared than McCain???? Give me a break. Maybe McCain's years as the son/grandson of an Admiral should count as "experience". All I can say, if the phone rings at 3 am, I want someone who has actual military experience answering it.

Gen. Clark is right that we are past the question of whether a woman can protect us. Women can. Where he errs in judgment is that Hillary is that person.

One's gender does not lead to good judgment as we all know from our current president and that's where Clark misspeaks when he says, “women can fight and women will fight but they’ll fight smart.”

“Hillary Clinton is a fighter by nature,” he said.
I concede she is a fight but after these last two weeks of ups and downs, sarcasm, fear-mongering, mocking the democratic movement taking place in this country, her inability to control her husband and her pathetic, "shame on you" demonstrates that in no way is her temperament one which we need in the White House.

The commander -in-chief needs to have a steady hand and not fly off the handle when things are not going right. If Clinton did not have a plan B for her election, then what happens if she has the fate of the country in her hands...I shutter to think.

I respect Gen. Clark, but it sounds like he didn't read the vote for war papers as Hillary stated she didn't. Somebody is lying so I guess it's the hundreds of other Senators lying that voted for the war. Barack Obama didn't misinterpret what he was voting for and his vote was No. I'm sure the documents signed with Hillary's yes vote for war weren't destroyed, so why doesn't get them as proof of her vote for "coercive diplomacy". Show us proof of your vote Hillary if you want support. Until then, Obama gets my vote.

Gen. Wesley Clark has turned into a political hack for the Clinton's. Pardon me, John McCain has done nothing since being a fighter pilot in the late 1960's and returning in 1973? Shame on you General for ignoring 35 years of his career. It is okay to disagree but chopping 35 years off his career is political hackery

Clark said: “Hillary Clinton is a fighter by nature..I would have no concerns about her willingness to use force."

Yes, sir, none of us doubt that she would. Her vote on Iraq proved that. I think the point, however, is that citizens don't want another trigger-happy administration. Clinton does nothing to prove she is different from the administration of the past 7 years.

The more war-mongers surrounding Clinton, the better; meanwhile, statesmen and diplomats flock to the sensible candidate: Obama.
