 Clinton is launching new ads in Texas and Ohio Monday.
Clinton is launching new ads in Texas and Ohio Monday.

(CNN) Hillary Clinton hit Texas and Ohio airwaves Monday with two new television spots, including one that goes after Barack Obama for not holding any oversight hearings since becoming chairman of a Senate Foreign Relations subcommittee.

"Barack Obama says he has the judgment to be president, but as chairman of an oversight committee charged with the force of fighting al Qaeda in Afghanistan, he was too busy running for president to hold even one hearing," an announcer says in a 30-second Texas ad called "True."

"Hillary Clinton will never be too busy to defend our national security, bringing our troops home from Iraq and pursuing Al Qaeda in Afghanistan," the announcer also says.

Clinton first criticized Obama over his chairmanship of a subcommittee on Europe at last week's MSNBC debate.

'"It has jurisdiction over NATO. NATO is critical to our mission in Afghanistan," she said then. "He's held not one substantive hearing to do oversight, to figure out what we can do to actually have a stronger presence with NATO in Afghanistan."

Obama responded that he became chairman of that committee in January 2007, just as his presidential campaign was launching.

Clinton also went up with a new 30-second ad in Ohio on Monday called "Partner," in which she highlights the state's economic downturn and says she will fight for working families.

"The wealthy and the well-connected have had a president. It's time the middle class had a president who will stand up for you," Clinton says in that ad.

I think Hillary ad was useless just the same as Obama. In fact I don't think Obama should of made an ad so similar because either one were effective. Very corny in my opinion. What is effective is the way his campaign is running which makes this country excited about a candidates with a different flash. I don't want the traditional politician with experience because experience has not gotten us anywhere in the past 7 years. We should be happy to have this Obama or this sensational strong lady to guide us in the next 4 years.

So for some of you stop bickering about desperation
when their both just trying hard to win these primaries.

shobha   March 3rd, 2008 12:22 pm ET

In response to "On the record" who said Hillary base is uneducated and so forth. I would like to tell this person that I am a huge supporter of Hillary and I have the highest education that anyone can get -a Ph.D. So quit sterotyping.

democracynow2008   March 3rd, 2008 12:22 pm ET

Lets remember on that special day Oct.10th ,2002 before we went to invade Iraq Mrs experience did the wrong thing she voted on a resolution to invade Iraq which President Bush wanted to do.
She Senator Experience Clinton voted yes while Senator Barbara Boxer voted No.
Sh says she against the war and has been from the start thats why she gave Bush what he wanted in 2002 a yes vote to invsde Iraq.
Talk about who do you trust to be President its not Hillary Clinton.
So that leaves me with one other choice and one I as a Democrat will make Senator Obama clearly is the right American candidate to become President of The United States of America.
Those that spend time putting him down and creating fear and lies are the trash of America period and would be better spent talking about issues instead of the nonsense that some are creating here.
Go Obama Yes We Can is not just words its action.

carol   March 3rd, 2008 12:22 pm ET

I agree with Gary. Wake up America. Obama is just a smooth talker and will be the worst possible President ever. Hillary Clinton is the one who should be running this country. These young people are just voting for his looks and him being young. He has no experience whatsoever. You better wake up and smell the coffee on March 4th before it's too late. If you want this country straightenend out,Hillary is the #1 person to lead. She's a smart woman. I just haven't figured out why everyone thinks Obama is so great. What has he ever done except go to rallies and make the people scream and faint. Go HILLARY, you deserve this 100%. All the media and press do is put her down. It's very rude and they are so nasty.

Hector Rodriguez   March 3rd, 2008 12:22 pm ET

i believe Sen. Clinton is fireing disperate shots to win over voters at Sen. OBAMA.........as i can recall Obama suported going after Taliban but dis-approved the war in IRAQ, which CLINTON was all for............the true american EMEMY is in Afganistan not IRAQ.........

Pamela   March 3rd, 2008 12:21 pm ET

Please let this be over with tomorrow! !. Vote Obama.

Hillary is beyond desperate. How in the world could she possibly unite the country?

kathe oakland, california   March 3rd, 2008 12:21 pm ET

You know Hillary's ad about the call at 3am well if you look and listen very closely phone I believe rings at least 5 times!!!!!! Where is President Hillary – don't you think a white house "red" phone should be picked up on 1st ring?????? Again Hillary's judgement in crisis BOO BOO. Also why in world at 3am would she have on a suite, jewlry, lipstick, etc. If you are going to do an AD do it right and be real.
If Hillary has not answered that phone on 1st ring, WOW I don't know about her.

GO OBAMA

MN Woman   March 3rd, 2008 12:20 pm ET

FIGHT THE GOOD FIGHT HILLARY. Another deposit on my future will be sent to you tomorrow!

I'm living on Soc. Sec. Disabilty, if I can find money to donate so can others this important decesion.

Obama completely lost me in the debate when he glossed over people, such as myself, paying for Medicare part B, which responsible person on a limited income has to have. He has no clue that that coverage takes 25% right of the top of my disablity.

And...before you maniacs start ragging about low income, uneducated people, blah,blah,blah...I worked for 35 hears with severe Rheumatoid Arthritis and I'll go toe to to with any of you on intellect.

Lisa Singh   March 3rd, 2008 12:20 pm ET

Really, now. The comment by Hillary that there has not been one hearing on oversight was bait. Nothing more than that. Just something to get the juices flowing because she couldn't find anything of substance to put into the pool.

Let's not take this kind of bait and hook tactic. Let's stick to the issues, the important points that matter sincerely to the American public. And, according to what I have heard, Obama takes the lead in what he brings to the campaign and to our chances to continue as a strong, viable nation in the future!

norma   March 3rd, 2008 12:20 pm ET

When it comes to he said/she said – I'll believe her more than him. Its really sad to say that after the last two debaucle's where the courts had to cheat and give the presidency away – here we are again. Only this time, its the media that has given the presidency "almost" away – from day one.

Mr. Obama may have a good speech writer – and his librarians do a good job of turning words around whenever HIllary hits on a sore spot, but you believe all his jargon and try to make him look like Einstein. With all due respect, If nothing more, 'd love to see Hillary make you eat your words.

Well, like the carnival man who charms the snakes – I hope if he is the nominee, he can charm the pants off all our hostile foreign leaders – if "charm" means "change."

Mike   March 3rd, 2008 12:20 pm ET

Interesting that Obama thinks that China is part of NAFTA (re: his comments during the debate). Obama has all the intellectual foreign policy firepower of an American Idol contestant.

Jbrd   March 3rd, 2008 12:20 pm ET

Why would Obama take the committe chair if he knew he would not be able to do it? That shows a lack of respect for the job and also that he wanted to use it only to bolster his resume. He put personal gain over duty to his country.

Deana   March 3rd, 2008 12:20 pm ET

LOL, I think obama is getting worried, hi rhetoric is wearing thin ;) .

Faye   March 3rd, 2008 12:20 pm ET

I was an obama supporter, but I get tired of hearing that he did not vote for the war in Iraq and that his wisdom in being against the war makes him ideally suited to be the democratic nominee, if not president. Why?
-1 – he was not a senator at the time and was not privy to the intelligence presented to the Senators. Professing clairvoyance makes him less credible in my book. We want to know is what he will do about it.
-2 – Sen. Clinton, although one of the Senators who voted to authorize the war in Iraq, presented a recommendation on the floor to allow the inspectors to finish their work – that recommendation was rejected.
-3 – Sen. Clinton should not have to apologize for the war. She acted based on the intelligence presented to her and the other senators who now endorse Sen. Obama. If the facts have changed since then, she has shifted her position to apply to the facts as she knows it.

I believe Sen. Obama should not try to discredit Sen. Clinton's foreign policy experience based on this issue alone, particularly when he has failed to hold oversight meetings for Afghanistan. He has other merits to his character that his campaign should highlight.

david   March 3rd, 2008 12:20 pm ET

Let's see if Obama copies this ad like he does everything else. Man, he really looks up to Hillary. You can tell. Imitation is the greatest form of flattery.

We need a 20 yr old immature Obamazombie to make a mock ad of this...come on!

HILLARY FOR PRESIDENT!

Closely Watching   March 3rd, 2008 12:20 pm ET

I have worked with several people who seem to think that the best way to advance up the corporate ladder is to tear down their equals by pointing out the mistakes they have made rather than pointing out their own strengths-as far as I know most of them are still in their mid-management level positions still trying to get ahead by tearing others down.

The people who hold positions in higher level management are smart enough to recognize this tactic for the smear campaign it is-when will the people who still support Hillary gain the same level of wisdom?

I am a 47-year-old white man with two degrees from Ohio State University and a long history of following the political scene very closely and I will unwaveringly vote for Obama tomorrow~

Obama '08

Vic   March 3rd, 2008 12:20 pm ET

FOR THE RECORD: The fact that Hillary Clinton DOES recognize that the low income, poorly educated citizens of the U. S. makes her that much more attractive for those of us NOT in that category. Remember, these folks pay taxes too, which enables us to enjoy all the positives of our country.

Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton are the ONLY persons who will determine when he/she should drop out of the race, and those who would insist on this are showing their arrogance. Now that it's coming to light that Obama has his faults, contrary to what the media have been reporting, is reason enough for Hillary to stay in the race. There are those who now say he has not been vetted enough, using his no-meeting chairmanship of the Afghanistan problem, and his prior relationship with the Chicago man who goes to trial today. What else is out there would affirm the need for further campaigning.

Just like Senator Clinton, Senator Obama's record needs an "airing out."

Mike   March 3rd, 2008 12:19 pm ET

I WANT A NEWS ON CNN..WHERE IS A MEMO FROM OBAMA CNN CAMP TO CANADIAN GOVERNMENT ABOUT NAFTA

I WANT ALL OF HILARY SUPPORTERS TO BOYCOTT CNN IF SHE LOSE THE NOMINATION. I THINK CNN IS NOT NEUTRAL MEDIA AND SHOULD BE STOP

zerville   March 3rd, 2008 12:19 pm ET

Can anyone explain why the Obama campaign doesnt attack Hillary accalimed 35yrs experience and competence claims but just wait and react to her attacks??????????????

piecrust   March 3rd, 2008 12:19 pm ET

How come voters would say "Was a Hillary Supporter" and then would switch sides just because – "she did not smile," "looked rude," "angry," "ran ads" "not forthcoming with her taxes" and many more unfounded whatever. If you are a supporter, you should go all the way. Look at the Obama supporters, their candidate is "arrogant," "nothing to prove," and according to the Washington Post write-up yesterday "always avoided tough votes in Illinois," – but they remain loyal to their NOTHINGNESS!!!! Pettiness in voting in sad, do not vote ala American Idol, vote for substance, PLEASE!!!!

Judie Taylor-Texas Born and Raised   March 3rd, 2008 12:19 pm ET

WHO CARES IF THE PHONE RINGS AT 3AM

WHO KNOWS WHAT bush WAS DOING WHEN SEPTEMBER THE 11TH WAS BEING PLOTTED and HAPPENING.

TAKING HIS VACATION BEFORE CHECKING AS WELL AS DEMANDING IF THIS COUNRTY WAS SAFE. HA HA HA.... Many of you chickens are the ones who VOTED this to happen to our country in the first place. SO TAKE THE BACK SEAT KILLERS.

AND THESE DUMB REPUBLICANS THINK WE SHOULD LISTEN TO THEM. HAH

People come ON FACE IT OBAMA can't SCREW UP any worse than THAT!!!!!!!!!

AND IF HE DID SO WHAT. EVERYONE ELSE HAVE DONE THE SAME.

GOOD or BAD- OBAMA 08

sistermoon   March 3rd, 2008 12:19 pm ET

the weirdest thing to me about all this is i never heard of Obama
until this election, and to me that just about says it for what he's done, usually if someone is up on the hill supposedly working for the people
their name is out there, isnt it? Well, whatever happens, I pray for this country, it will take a person who is not afraid to make decisions and act on them. There has never been a war any country embraced and loved has there? I found it interesting that the Iranian Ahmadinejad on Americans: 'No one likes them' just felt free to make that remark in Iraq, I bet he is loving this mess, well good luck everyone hope we arent just daydreaming that change will come easily, and by the way, what does that mean?

andrew jones   March 3rd, 2008 12:19 pm ET

In the same debate, Billary stated that she has been TOO BUSY to release her tax returns...

this is just typical of Billary's smear tactics...say and do anything just to win an election!

I beg Obama not to stoop so low to Billary's scum by responding to this ad!

VOTE FOR CHANGE!

VOTE OBAMA!!!

Jim   March 3rd, 2008 12:19 pm ET

I am suprised Obie hasn't held an inquiry into how and why US jobs are going to France and our Air Force will be flying French aircraft. So much fro the Obama job recovery plan. He has spent a lot of time pontificating about the evils of NAFTA and unfair forengn trade...guess $150 billion to France is not worth his time.

Mark   March 3rd, 2008 12:19 pm ET

All anybody needs to do is spend 10 minutes on a google search of Hillary Clinton and her history. If you can vote for after reading what you find, you have severe problems.

Vince   March 3rd, 2008 12:18 pm ET

Why are Hillary backers so hateful of Obama? Do they realy think his supporters will back her after all the attacks, not just on him, but on those of us who voted for him.

Hillary's one big negative going into this election was the perception that she was divisive. I always thought this was an unfair perception. But now that I see how she turns people against one another, even those of us who agree on almost all major issues, I see that she is indeed a divisive politician. Who will do anything to win.

Spirit of America   March 3rd, 2008 12:18 pm ET

Go Hillary! You might also want to remind voters about the extortion trial of one of Barack's major campaign donors, a crook who got Obama a great deal on some real estate. Haven't we had enough corruption in high office without sending a man of questionable integrity to the White House, again. Time for a woman to clean House!

Shirley in California   March 3rd, 2008 12:18 pm ET

As a woman over 50, I would like to support women. However, in selecting our President, it is too serious too limited to base my decision on the gender.

After watching Hillary in the past several weeks, I have to tell my daughter: Do not behave like she does. We need to find a way to get beyond whinning about the blocks when competing in the outside world. The best role model ironically is Obama, just watch how he deal with his black skin!

There are quite of few of us in California wishing we could take back our early votes for Hillary!

Chris, Middletown, CT   March 3rd, 2008 12:18 pm ET

People will listen to Hillary (of course....Obama already addressed this in the debate...) – but there will those that listen....kind of like spoon feeding monkeys...Hillary supporters pick and choose their "truths" – you can point to Hillarys devicive past....and they will talk about her "experience" – there is truthfully something wrong with you people....we've had enough half truths and "depends on what is is" answers....

BS   March 3rd, 2008 12:18 pm ET

Enough with the desparate adds.

Obama is the only truthfull candidate!!!!

Obama 08

keith   March 3rd, 2008 12:18 pm ET

Hey Hillary wonks.

Want to know the REAL TRUTH behind the Hillary machine.

JustlLook up Peter Paul and Federal Election Campaign Fraud trial- going on right now – from her 2000 Senatorial campaign. That's right another Clinton FRAUD TRIAL.

C'mon Hillary wonks, see how your girl really works the system.

Jane, Maryland   March 3rd, 2008 12:17 pm ET

Ant well informed person knows that that committee is a window-display committee – Bush controls everything.

And where has Sen Clinton been the last 18 months?
She did not even vote for the Telecom bill.
I find desperation of any form, unattractive.
The only reason you focus on the opponent is if you have nothing good to say about yourself.

Lisa   March 3rd, 2008 12:17 pm ET

I am getting so discouraged by all this, honestly I am. I can't stand there types of "kitchen sink" politics. I can hardly stomache most news shows now, and I am totally discouraged by these types of tactics and by the entire democratic party too.. the dnc website is so hateful it is apalling. Why can't anyone get anywhere on the issues and beliefs?

Pete ,Illinois   March 3rd, 2008 12:17 pm ET

Jennette said "So Hillary voted for the war In Iraq, Obama need's to come off that crapp, she made a bonehead mistake, she was not the only one who voted for the war. That seem's to be his only weapon he has to use against her. He has wore that line out…."

So Jennette, she did make a mistake that she has yet ti unequivicly state ws in fact a mistake...and she is one of only 2 that voted for the war that is running for POTUS, so she deserves the scurtiny for that vote. She has also worn that line out about "experience" when in fact we now know she has very little....

david   March 3rd, 2008 12:17 pm ET

HILLARY........YES WE WILL! NEVER, NEVER GIVE UP!!!!!!!!!!

M Johnson   March 3rd, 2008 12:16 pm ET

"Obama is campaigning. Hillary is campaigning. McCain is campaigning. No one is in Washington working. "
Really! So why should any of them get paid for campaigning?
Why should we pay for it? Make em do it without pay, they can all afford it better than we can.

hello   March 3rd, 2008 12:16 pm ET

why CNN is not reporting about NAFTA in back door Mr Obama's adviser telling canada not to worry about any changes in NAFTA
it is all politics.
CNN shame on you.
Hillary for 2008 and 20012

Wayne   March 3rd, 2008 12:16 pm ET

EXPOSED Obama Hillary he is not Good for America

Marlene   March 3rd, 2008 12:16 pm ET

It boggles my mind somewhat that few people have paid attention to the fact that had Clinton been practicing law in any state other than Arkansas, she probably would have been disbarred. Yes...what an American hero.

I also wish she would stop bragging about her 35 years of fighting for change. She all but retired when her husband first took political office and her legislative experience amounts to 7 years in the Senate representing a state that she has no connection to other than the house she purchased when it appeared to be an opportunistic move. Her recent ads only highlight the fact that she's a "do anything, say anything" type person.

When the public finally clears their head of all the hullabaloo, then maybe Clinton will finally die politically. I'm all for having a female president, but I'd rather our first one be not so dubious.

Texas4Obama   March 3rd, 2008 12:15 pm ET

The Clintons should stop whining and just go home!
And her statement about releasing her tax returns on April 15th is a bunch of BS. She needs to release the tax returns from LAST YEAR like Senator Obama has already done! Last year's returns are the ones that Clinton don't want you to see because there are things on there that she is hiding!

George   March 3rd, 2008 12:15 pm ET

This whole thing is moot. If Obama wins, Hillary will be VP. If Billary wins, Obama will be her VP. It's just a question of who will sleep in the White House. Hopefully, it's Obama because this country doesn't need another 4yrs of scandle around Bill that draws all the attention instead of the issues that matter most. I can only imagine what Bill's going to do in the White House with 4yrs of idle time on his hands watching Hillary get all the attention.

SPH   March 3rd, 2008 12:15 pm ET

Hillary cannot win without ripping the party apart. Knowing her, she won't care. It's time for the party leaders to step in and break up this pointless and destructive fight.

Chris from NY   March 3rd, 2008 12:15 pm ET

Texas, Ohio, Vermont... you guys make your call. Consider all the facts and your heart. I trust you will make a good decision.

d.dee   March 3rd, 2008 12:15 pm ET

I’m absolutely terrified about Obama’s inability to handle National Security (long before the ad came out). Obama has no wisdom, no insight, poor judgment, lacks experience and has no depth of knowledge on National Security and military issues. He misunderstands the intricacies of international relations and the role of the military in protecting us from the outside. Obama likes to point out that he spoke against the war in Iraq. But people should ask themselves - if the information available at the time, led MOST to believe that American’s were at great risk…..why didn’t he vote for the war? Perhaps his judgment wasn’t as sound as he wants us to believe. It’s easy to second guess after the fact. Clinton and others agree that had they know what they know now they may have voted differently. And, of course, anti-war Obama glosses over the fact that he has continued to support the war with his votes.
Obama has been absent and ineffective in his role as a subcommittee chairman of NATO. His speeches about change are meaningless when he doesn’t even participate in a committee that will effect some change. He’s all words no action.

Suziku   March 3rd, 2008 12:15 pm ET

Hillary Clinton is "BUSH" in a womans body! She plays on everything that might bring "fear" to us. She is negative, she is nasty, she is the same old thing we've had for the last 8 years! Does anyone really want another 8 years of this? She somehow thinks she's entitled to run this country based on her last name. She has no real experience and is no more qualified to run this country than the current administration was/is. She is incapable of playing fair and represents all that is bad and wrong with politics in this country. We shouldn't trust her and I sure hope she doesn't get more pity votes. Try looking up her record, she's not for us, she's for her! Don't just buy into her rhetoric.
OBAMA IS THE RIGHT PERSON AT THE RIGHT TIME – NOW!!!!

Manuel TX   March 3rd, 2008 12:15 pm ET

You can win in spite of the hype and the hate.

There are millions of us out here who have your back. :)

bob   March 3rd, 2008 12:14 pm ET

Hillary, It is sad to see you completely falling apart..but I know that your afraid that this is going to be #12 loss..and it hurts to know that this is probably going to be the end of a long campaign....It seems like both you and Bill never quite got this figured out ......bite the bullet and help the Democratic party defeat the neo cons....

Janel, St. Paul, MN   March 3rd, 2008 12:14 pm ET

How many meetings and votes has the good senator from New York missed since she has begun her campaign? Her charge is simply "politics at its worst."

Moreover, if Senator Obama is such a "blank page," as Senator Clinton argues, why are so many experienced, respected leaders of our country campaigning for him? It just doesn't make sense!

With our country in the mess that it is in, it seems practical that these individuals would be pulling for the candidate with "35??" years of experience.

No time??   March 3rd, 2008 12:14 pm ET

If Obama thinks he has pressue now and cannot handle multiple duties – what is he going to do as President? The stakes will be higher then. Is her going to be crying, I can't I can't????

derry   March 3rd, 2008 12:14 pm ET

something real basic bothers me. We do need to speak better English, Barack. If you do win and you are a Harvard graduate, please use better grammar. I know you can. You do have young voters and we need a good role model. thank you.
example.... "I think she has got a little desperate toward the end of this campaign," Obama told ABC in an interview set to air Monday night.
I know you can... English.

Trang, Fremont, CA   March 3rd, 2008 12:14 pm ET

Well, I think people want you out of the race because you are so divisive. Huckabee stuck in, but he is not divisive. He doesn't tear the Republican party apart. He just highlights his conservative values. You, however, are divisive. You want to win so much that you don't mind tearing other people down or the party down. But, I suppose it's in your blood. Habits die hard. Your supporters are pretty much the same. At least when Obama supporters get riled up, we try to tone them down because they make Obama look bad because his goal is to bring the country together and his supporters should too help this country come together to fulfill his goal. There can be criticism, but there can be constructive criticism and there can be destructive criticism.

But I understand, you want to win and so you want to give your all. We just have to stomach it.

Jayson   March 3rd, 2008 12:14 pm ET

Sitting senators shouldn't be running President. It is a disservice to their constituents. In the future if a sitting member of Congress wants to run for president they should do their constituents a favor and resign or not run for election prior to the year they plan on running.

robert wilson   March 3rd, 2008 12:14 pm ET

This just shows that Obama is all talk.American trrops are dying in Afganistan because Obama has been awol from his oversite duties.He is the one person in charge of NATO oversite of the war on terror in Afganistan.No REAL informed anti-war American could ever support a Obama, who's absolutely failed the leadership test he has been given and is his responsability.This goes directly to the nieviety and total lack of understanding of Real issues that the obama campaign and suporters embody, and that affect America in the real world.

Matthew   March 3rd, 2008 12:14 pm ET

You all are putting way to much importance on this. It is a Subcommittee. It's not even a full committee, it is a SUB. Which means that the Sen. Biden chaired Foreign Relations committee is still meeting and will deal with all the important issues. I agree, that it's not good, but it's not that bad.

d.dee   March 3rd, 2008 12:13 pm ET

Why are my comments not showing up? What's happened to honest and fair reporting? I, like Dee, am a Clinton supporter. Is that why my posts don't make your cut? CNN has been bias in covering this campaign.
-----
You can bet that Senator Clinton's experience will bring change to Washington. She knows how to get things done. Barrack does not. There are too many very serious issues facing this country to turn it over to a rookie.

I applaud super delegates California Rep Diane Watson and Ohio Rep Stephanie Tubbs Jones for having the integrity to ignore the pressure and threatening emails they've received to switch to Barrack. They understand the complexity of the issues and stand firm in their loyalty to Senator Clinton. Just shows who lacks integrity in this race.

Chalermpol Intha   March 3rd, 2008 12:13 pm ET

Those who sided with Obama appear to be young, inexperience, similar to those who bid the dot com industry to the sky during the stock market crashed in 2000. They didn't know what the bear market is/was. How can you tell that Obama is not another dot com material?
Obama is another dot com!!! He's is only two years in the senate. Remember the Bay of Pig when JFK invaded Cuba? That's inexperienc!! Will Obama jerk the troop in and out of Iraq? Of course he will. Will he be a single term President? Most likely!! He will fail many things. The energy, the economy, the security. He cannot use rhetoric to work his way out of the complicate problems. No more bs. There are tons of leaders like Obama in this country. I don't need them/him. I hope March 4 is the bening of an end for him for the sake of the country and the world or I'll vote Republican.

Leslie   March 3rd, 2008 12:13 pm ET

If Obama didn't do anything when given one important responsibility, what will he do with responsibility for everything? He admitted doing nothing because he was more interested in personal ambition than taking action.

He's not what he says he is.

Independent in IA   March 3rd, 2008 12:13 pm ET

Since when does running for office negate your responsibilities as a duly elected Senator and Chairman of a Committee? Frankly, that is what you are being paid (entirely too much) for, not traipsing around, giving flowery speeches that you will never in a million years be able to bring to fruition.

Too bad there isn't a regulation that stipulates if you wish to run for an office other than the one you were elected to, you must either resign your current position, or be required to be present at ALL floor votes.

Tough luck if it breaks your rhythem, candidates....

The Observer   March 3rd, 2008 12:13 pm ET

If Obama can't cope with this kind of campaign how on earth is he going to cope when the Republicans unleash their onslaught?

It sounds like someone knows not only the history but also the conseuqences that it may have. And for the record, I've already thought about my future about 2+ years ago....................only but me can imrove my future but the President, he only could do so much and all we could do is nothing but wait and see.....

Dylan Kay   March 3rd, 2008 12:12 pm ET

The sub-committee is on Europe and has purview over NATO. NATO is involved in Afghanistan.

There are other sub-committees on Asia and the Middle East.

However, to link this sub-committee to Afghanistan is a bit of a stretch. Sounds desperate.

P Graber   March 3rd, 2008 12:12 pm ET

Hillary Clinton will be the next President of the United States of America and we will be PROUD.

Pete ,Illinois   March 3rd, 2008 12:12 pm ET

With all said and done, I am STILL waiting for the Clinton camp to answer the question: What foriegn crisis has Hillary dealt with before?
Also, what committee or subcommitte meetings has she attended in the last year? what committees does she chair? have they had any meetings? What heads of state that were in power doing the Clinton years are still in power today?....the claim of knowing the heads of state is an very looooong exagaration.
hummm...silence...so strong you can hear the crickets

FACT: Just reported on television..............Obama will not be able to win the general election because too many independents and Hillary supporters will vote McCain!

EFabian   March 3rd, 2008 12:11 pm ET

She speaks the truth about Obama. Some people just turn a blind eye.

Go HIllary

sozzi   March 3rd, 2008 12:11 pm ET

Hillary stated that she has been unable to show her tax returns, becasue she's been busy running her campaign, what bull. Please show your tax returns Hillary.

Tex'un   March 3rd, 2008 12:11 pm ET

Will Hillary "tank" in Texas? Given the continual undercount of Barack's young but not-land-line supporters by the polls, his lead is probably considerably higher than the average of five polls indicates. But, if she wins Ohio and then Pennsylvania, won't she still be in the race?

Rebecca   March 3rd, 2008 12:11 pm ET

Just because someone is running a campaign, does not mean your day job ceases to exisist. I am tired of Pbama using fancy words that just shuffles around the issues. He never ever gives a direct answer, yet he demands it from the other candidates. He also does not even follow his own word. When stating that all campaigns should focus on spending less money, He is top dog for spending.

Hillary Clinton is a very well spoke individual, so is Obama, but atleast Hillary doesn't skirt around the topics. She says it like it is. For many people they want yes or no answers, yet many issues she is struggling to convey to everyone have no yes or no solutions.

The US are sheep, and easily swayed on smooth talkers. At least Hillary has answers

Tim, Milwaukee   March 3rd, 2008 12:11 pm ET

Obama just sold his believers (trust) to Canada.
REF: Obama adviser: Memo misinterprets stance on trade

After all, this "Yes we can" and Hope and Change is all a "political positioning".

We still have time to save our country from this imposter. Texas / Ohio, Please vote Hillary tomorrow...

Hillary / Edwards 08

John   March 3rd, 2008 12:10 pm ET

I hope all the Democrats leaving comments are focusing on picking the best candidate they think will best represent the Democratic ideals. After the democratic nominee is chosen I hope you don't lose sight of those ideals and still vote Democratic and definitley not stay home and not vote.

Many say that the candidates and the nomination process are dividing the Democrats. If you glance back at many of these comments above it appears to me that it's the candidate centric mania is doing that much more than either Clinton or Obama.

I voted for Obama already yet if Clinton gets the nomination, I will vote for her in the presidential election. Take a deep breath folks.

Jim Walker   March 3rd, 2008 12:10 pm ET

Dear Trina.. tsk tsk.. Just can't stand the idea that your dear Obama has been lying. Have another sip of Kool-Aid to help you feel better.

Oh, and Dear Was A Hillary Supporter. You were never a Hillary supporter. Since when does telling the truth become a reason not to vote for someone? Unless, the truth is not what turns you on!

chris   March 3rd, 2008 12:10 pm ET

Hillary's ad implies she would be answering the phone. I wonder if it might not be like this.

Phone rings at 3 am in the white house. Hillary has had a long day. She's tired. And Bill says, "It's ok Hillary, I'll get it." ..... I wouldn't be surprised to see McCain run some version of that if she does become the democratic candidate.

Kobby;Nottingham-UK   March 3rd, 2008 12:10 pm ET

Obama isn't just the right person for the job at this time. I don't know what contract he has signed with the media, esperciaaly cnn to warrant such unfair favouritism. He's the one who've being attacking Hillary, but the media prertends not to realise that. In fact, he does'nt offer any ideas nor solutions. Rather he waits for Clinton to come out with her ideas/solutions, and he cheaply and shamefully attacks those ideas, refine them and roar about them as if they were his. No wonder he has already demonstrated his penchant for plagiarism, and when asked about it, he could only murmer that "its silly" to talk about it. Americans wake-up, or else you'll get a president worst than Bush in the person of B.H.Obama!!!

Bill   March 3rd, 2008 12:10 pm ET

Regardless of the He Said, She Said, The party has to come up with a viable plan to get to a point on candidate gets the nomination. Florida and Michigan are out. We could have real primaries there and count their votes and delegates if the states are willing to pay for the primaries, or, subtract their delegates from the delegate count and use the MAGIC NUMBER 1842 as the declared winner of the nomination.

CHIEMEZIE   March 3rd, 2008 12:10 pm ET

YES I MEANT TO SAY THAT WE ARE TIRED OF ANARCHY IN OUR OWN BACKYARD. TWO FAMILIES IN THE WHITE HOUSE FOR MORE THAN 20 YEARS IS A POLITICAL TYRANNY!!!

VERY SOON CHELSEA AND ZEB WILL GET INTO THE BRAWL TOO.

keith   March 3rd, 2008 12:09 pm ET

The Canadian government has OUTRIGHT DENIED the character of their conversation with the Obama rep.

In fact, they have said his rep has informed them on his willingness to renegotiate NAFTA.

If, and I don't believe for a second, if this was true. Why haven't they said that he was changing his stance on NAFTA? Why would they protect him? They have no reason to.

This is another example of Hillary and her paid bloggers posting in these forums to snatch truth away with BALD FACED LIES.

I want a woman President someday. However, not THIS one, never ever.

Grif   March 3rd, 2008 12:09 pm ET

Obama's coming round the half turn, oh no, he lost his saddle.

Wait a minute, he's going back for it?

Ohio Silver now the bridle slipped, and the Bit's half way up his nose. Oh what a

Calamity!! Obama....

Kay Tuner   March 3rd, 2008 12:08 pm ET

Hillary is desperate with her kitchen sink. We will see you tomorrow.
We need change in Washington. No more years of a same dynasty. U.S is a democratic country. Not a monarchy.

Hillary thinks that she is above the law: I donot think the American people will let you govern them with your hidden agenda:
1- Why are you NOT releasing your tax returns? Are you above the law. What will happen when you are President? The IRS will not work well with elected officials hiding their tax returns. Corrupt business in Washington DC!!! It is time that the refusal be investigated.

Go Obama 08

Obam08

obama08   March 3rd, 2008 12:07 pm ET

I used to admire President Clinton but his actions during this campaign have tarnished my opinion of him. Hillary will stop at nothing to falsely discredit Obama.If she has the bests interests of our country in mind, she needs to drop out of the race after tomorrow and throw her support behind Obama. Otherwise, her actions will further harm the chances of Obama in the November election. We cannot afford four more years of the same.McCain will continue our involvement in Iraq, and his economic policies will be more of the same things we have seen since 2001. How can anyone in their right mind want to continue with the failed policies of the last 71/2 years?

S. Wright   March 3rd, 2008 12:07 pm ET

It is becoming clearer everyday: The Democrats have nothing to offer the American people but the same tired old rhetoric.

bob   March 3rd, 2008 12:07 pm ET

hmm – cnn bias at its best. Obama is meeting with the canadians telling them that he is lying to the American people about his intentions for nafta, but the headline is phrased in a positive way – if clinton was winking at foregin governments the news would be all over her. Obama ia a politician just like anyone else. im tried of him thinking i she better than other people.

John   March 3rd, 2008 12:06 pm ET

Gary. Amen. I've tried. But stupid peolpe won't listen to anyone but the SHOWMAN, who is ALL TALK, NO ACTION. He won't even do the job that he was eleced to do. Maybe the fools that are for him, will wakeup in time, and voe for the right and best choice. GO HILLARY.

Hillary,
The American people are NOT STUPID! Here are the following:

1. You were TOO BUSY to read the IRAQ Intelligence!

2. You were TO BUSY to read the Telecom Intelligence!

3. You were TOO BUSY to RELEASE your Tax Return( With your CROOKED Husband)

4. BUT NOT TOO BUSY TO GO ON SNL!!!!!

Go Awaaaaaaaaaaaaaay! You're a HOT MESS! As a life-long Democrat, I will never vote for you! ABC-Anyone But Clinton!

Go Barack!.......Go McCain!

Tracy   March 3rd, 2008 12:05 pm ET

This is hysterical. In the last debate when Hillary was asked why she couldn't release her whitehouse papers or her tax returns she stated that she's "Been a little busy lately" Ok....That's her excuse but she doesn't think Obama has been "A little busy" as well? Of course she does, she's just s divisive, sarcastic, conniving politician.

Show us your records Hillary or shut up.

evans o.oseki, norway   March 3rd, 2008 12:04 pm ET

WE ARE TIRE OF

Nice work BILLARY, But i must admit that I can smell your desperation from kilometers away.

Desperate fear mongers!!!.. I don't see any reason why Obama explains himself to us Canadians when he has nothing to gain. Lets face it, a no brainier would not even discuss those issues with Canadians when the literally have no votes nor delegates in the Dem. party pres. nomination. Obama has his eyes set on being the prize of our HOPES and Clinton will do anything possible to make every ones life miserable for HOPING just because she is a rogue who takes lobbyist money and cannot be trusted.

Obama's change so far, 3 quarters, 2 dimes and a nickel for a dollar. What will he do for REAL change, make great speeches and talk to dictators like Raul Castor and the Iranian President (who by the way calls for total annilation of a soverign nation). If we had sat down nicey nice with Hilter, where woudl that have gotten us? Maybe we should have sat down with Osama or with Saddam! Get real, Omaba fever is a sick fairy tale.

Clinton will win both Texas and Ohio because Latinos will put her over the top, and then maybe we won't have to hear that smugness in Obama's voice or watch his bobble head followers snicker when he pokes fun at Clinton. Go Hillary!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Rick   March 3rd, 2008 12:01 pm ET

Even if she ever gets around to releasing her taxes (like everyone else), will they show the full picture. The last time the Clintons released taxes (after similar pressure), they only went back to 1980. Hillary's brilliant trades in the commodities markets where she netted $100K practically overnight were in 1978. Coincidence?? NOT!!

PA   March 3rd, 2008 12:01 pm ET

Obama is too busy promoting himself to worry over our service men and women when they are dying? This is terrible. Hillary took time out of her campaign to visit with a fallen motorcycle policeman's family and attend his funeral because she cares about people and because self promotion was not as important to her as doing the right thing. She did that in the span of a couple days during the biggest challenge of her political career. He has had a whole year to hold hearings and has done nothing because he was campaigning by his own admission. And he thinks he is fit to be president?

dj   March 3rd, 2008 12:00 pm ET

why not post on NAFTA comments... because A) they weren't his comments, and B) its already been proven they were taken completely out of context, oh and C) THEY WEREN'T HIS COMMENTS.

Roger from Texas   March 3rd, 2008 11:58 am ET

As a republican, please vote for Hillary. If she is the democrat's choice, then I'm comfortable that republicans will win in November. Obama might win in November, Hillary does not have a chance. It will be record turn out against her.

Bush – Clinton – Bush – Clinton?

That is change?

Don't forget who Hillary's base is. Lower income, uneducated individuals. Not very hard for the Clinton camp to appeal to less intelligent folk. 'nuff said.

Alex P   March 3rd, 2008 11:57 am ET

Why not post a ticker on Obama's NAFTA comments in OH CAN? Then his message to Canadians insuring them the message was merely 'political positioning'. Very telling of the true Obama.

I guess CNN doesn't want to let people comment on evidence of who Obama really is.

Dee   March 3rd, 2008 11:57 am ET

About 2 or 3 weeks ago you stopped putting my comments on this website.

Will one of you there please tell me why.

Is it because I am a Clinton supporter and refuse to be taken in by Obama?

CNN has been grossly unfair to Clinton.

You can shut me out of your site but I will still be at the poll in Ohio on Tuesday.

Andrea   March 3rd, 2008 11:57 am ET

It appears that Senator Clinton is bringing up something that needed to be emphasized. Repeatedly, she has mentioned our veterans, universal healthcare, mental health, terminating exempting oil companies, corporate giants from taxes-huge tax breaks that are laid on some one else's back (ours).
Remember, after the 9/11 tragedy, this country had to respond, and even the folks in high places were pressured. Senator Obama needs to cut out all his CRAP "I didn't vote for the war." That is like slapping our Veterans in the face. This does bother me, my brother died in the Vietnam war. There is a time when we have to gather our wits and make decisions to be successful, and that may mean taking an alternate route, as is being recommended with the war.
Remember a fast talker is stabbing you in the back, and knows how to manipulate. They come with an agenda, and it does not include us. He will give in to pressure and will be controlled. Young folks, if you are not out on your own yet, there is no way for you to understand.
To the concerned Vietnam Veteran, thank you for serving our country.

Our country needs Senator Clinton

mk   March 3rd, 2008 11:57 am ET

everyone who is posting here needs to go and check Hillary's voting record in the Senate for 2007. Then decide if she has been doing more in the Senate than her opponets.
You will find quite a number of "NO VOTE"'s
if you do your research

Jeanette   March 3rd, 2008 11:56 am ET

So Hillary voted for the war In Iraq, Obama need's to come off that crapp, she made a bonehead mistake, she was not the only one who voted for the war. That seem's to be his only weapon he has to use against her. He has wore that line out....

John   March 3rd, 2008 11:56 am ET

...and Hillary was too busy running for President to vote on the most important bill of her term – FISA. Thanks for protecting America Hillary.

HELLO THEY'RE RUNNING FOR PRESIDENT.

BL-NYC   March 3rd, 2008 11:56 am ET

To this date, Senator Obama has done nothing but put up smoke screens about every issue... Anytime a fault is pointed out he immediatly points a finger for example "[She] has been a lot more aggressive in her negative attacks."
Dude, she has always been aggressive at pointing out what you have not done...
This guy is not ready America... He has done nothing for his state, nothing for our country, never owned a business and can not even hold meetings for his own committee.
He is not ready to get us out of the mess we are in, we need experience...

MATAKO GA OBAMA   March 3rd, 2008 11:56 am ET

FOR ALL OF YOU HOSTILE OBAMA FOLLOWERS. I HOPE YOU REALIZE THAT YOUR HOSTILE COMMENTS WILL MAKE SOME OF US DEFECT TO McCAIN. OBAMA WILL BE DESPERATE TOO BIG TIME!!! JUST WAIT & SEE AFTER HE GETS THE NOMINATION. THE REPUBLICANS WILL COME DOWN ON HIM LIKE A TON OF BRICKS!!! THERE WILL BE BREAKING NEWS AFTER BREAKING NEWS – JUST WAIT OK?????

TO HILLARY – PLEASE DROP OUT BEFORE YOU DESTROY YOURSELF FURTHER. THE PLAN TO VOTE YOU OUT HAS WORKED PERFECT!! LET MR. PERFECT "SPEECHES" SHOW US HIS SO CALLED "BETTER JUDGEMENT"

Alice Rea   March 3rd, 2008 11:55 am ET

Too many bad ties with radical groups

stephanie   March 3rd, 2008 11:55 am ET

why didnt the news organizations report this and tell the people instead of her???
i watched the debate and he stated that he started campaigning at the same time he started the oversight committee. why did he pick it up if he knew he would be campaigning? seems like resume padding...

OBAMA 08   March 3rd, 2008 11:55 am ET

I AM SO P.O.D!!!!!! I AM AN ACCOUNTANT. MY HUSBAND IS A SURGEON AND UNTIL HILARY'S CAMPAIGN, I DID NOT KNOW, I HAVE BEEN A SURGEON ALL THESE YEARS. I HAVE WASTED ALL THIS TIME. ANY ONE FOR SOME SURGERY?

In the name of our sons, who you voted to send to war now you feel sorry about them yet have done ZERO to help the economy or the health care which they are in so much need of.

In the name of Democracy, which this country is so proud of , dont ruin it, dont steal it.

in the name of the majority of the voters , the young, the old, the women, the men, the democrats, the independents, the Republicans who are honest and want a better future as we all do, in the name of Latinos, AA, Asian, and all immigrants, in the name of honesty and integrity, please step down_ your time and that of y our husband is over, this is a democray not a dynasty.

Hillary has been trying to state the differences in a nice way in many of the debates, but BO just piggy rides her answers with some pretty verbal embellishment..."sen Clinton is right...etc" over and over again...so i really LOVE the fact that she is attacking him with precise facts from his startegies and voting recods that are different than his...i admired her before, but this fighter Hillary just went up in my books with a big step

Hillary 08

jt   March 3rd, 2008 11:54 am ET

Hillary is the best chice!! Hiallary will win!

Obama all talk no action! Failed to hold a single hearing in one year period is real bad. He said he be the best commander in chief. Ignoring his troops in Afghanistan is a bad judgement and bad commander in chief. He is missing in action or he derilict his duty as chairman.

Hillary can make things happen and she is the best choice.

Hillary is brilliant..

Straight_Question, NY   March 3rd, 2008 11:54 am ET

Why do you think about the fact that she stated during the OH debate that she was too busy campaigning to release her tax return ???
you see this woman is a joke … and think American people are stupid

AB, NJ   March 3rd, 2008 11:54 am ET

Obama has sold a lot of voters on rhetoric, Kinda of reminds me of Jim Jones where people were drinking the koolaid.

This guy is a phony. I want experience not words. This B.S about change is ridiculous. Everytime there is a general election, it's cause effect is change.

This notion that he voted against the war is a farce. He never voted on this issue, he gave some speech on it.
He lauds his judgement by saying its not experience that counts but the type of judgement you use. Well Mr. Obama where is all your judgement when it comes to dealing with corrupt Real estate developers? Is that Using good judgement?
People need to look past the veil and do what its right for this country. Hillary 08 all the way.

Lesley   March 3rd, 2008 11:54 am ET

Gary: I'm saddened that you think I'm stupid. I think we all need to stop hating each other and unite before another Republican takes the White House. The chances of Clinton winning the nomination are slim now, so let's all unite behind Obama and give the power back to the people! Obama 08!

When was Hillary in Washington last doing her job? she's been running all around the country as well....or doesn't she have a job in washington that she's neglecting? she's so desperate it's becoming disheartening. she'll win at any cost. if i was Barak i would definitely sleep with my eyes open. too many scary things happen to people around and who get in the Clinton's way. Oh wait, Clinton News Network probably won't print this one anyway....it's not supporting their darling.

joe   March 3rd, 2008 11:54 am ET

kim from nyc   March 3rd, 2008 11:54 am ET

I KNOW.. Hillary is just pulling out all the tactics (DIRTY) because she has very little change otherwise. Mira, I recognize Obama should have had a meeting within the subcomitte on Euro affairs, okay. I give, BUT BUT when you campaign, for better or worse NOBODY does these meetings. THEY CAMPAIGN. Do you see Hillary campaigning on CNN or in meeting w/ subcomittees? COME ON PLEASE!!!! educate yourself. HYPOCRACY AT THE HIGHEST LEVEL!!!!!

I've had it with Obama's arrogant ways and I'm tired of him. At this point it should be a no-brainer. Please, wake up from the Obamamania phenomena. After this is all done we will need a president not a slickster nonperformer. Hillary's been ready for years and has a mastery on every issue. Duh! By the way I'm one of the 'young' people (23) supposedly so important in this race and I am proudly casting my vote for HIllary.

Billary is running a negative slanderist campaign, she and her husband are liars, won't turn in their tax return, what is she hiding,I bet it would surprise you. Wwhy don't you stupid hillary lovers start paying attention to detail. She doesn't care about this country what has she done for health care for children that was suppose to of been started when her husband was President. WAKE UP

yemiray   March 3rd, 2008 11:53 am ET

Obama greatest undoing in these primaries has been his positive campaign and refusal to attack Hillary on varieties of claims that cannot be substantiated.

Hillary has been running on a free ride of the experienced and competent when she really doesnt have them. What a luck!

Her competence and experienced in leadership should have been seriously called into question by Obama's campaign but they just wait and react to her attacks.
Especially based on her acclaimed 35yrs experience with no pivotal acheivement, her performances on lost jobs in state on NY and her failed healthcare policies during Bill years that again seriously call into question her inability to work with other people but just have it her way everytime.

But nobody is raising thess issues so she just keep going with the experienced and competent pitch.

K.Celina from IL!!!!   March 3rd, 2008 11:53 am ET

The problem is, Hillary was too busy to read the Intelligence report on Iraq, which is why she voted blindly for the war. Shame on You !!!

jp/michigan   March 3rd, 2008 11:52 am ET

Obama is desperate , as usual hiding his inadequacies behind Hillary's abilities. To be named chairperson of a committee and never hold meeting especially on an import issue like NATO. He has been busy running for President. Courageous leader or calculating politician. Calculating politician! He was not present for 130 votes in the Illinois House. Missed 37.7% of the votes in the US Senate 2007. Wonder what he will do in the White House? Wake up Texas, Ohio< Rhode Island and Vermont. Is this the kind of President you really want?

CB   March 3rd, 2008 11:52 am ET

Senator Clinton have you missed any committee meetings since you started the campaign trail? Give it a rest, March 4th will bring you a little awaking news. You are not saviour of the little people as, you think you are. What experience do you REALLY HAVE. Let change for new ideas and hope take seed and give it your support.

dave   March 3rd, 2008 11:52 am ET

I would like to ask CNN, Obama, and all cult Obama why Barack can claimed Hillary has poor judgement based on her vote on the Iraqi war. We all know that all of those votes the senators cast were based on info available at that time to them. But what I don't understand is how Obama somehow feels he has better judgement when he continued to have dealings with Rezko even after allegations were levied against Rezko by state and local authorities and formal investigations had already started?? Did I miss a meeting?

Sharlene Williamson   March 3rd, 2008 11:52 am ET

I originally backed Obama but now see that he's nothing but talk and would probably be better off preaching in a church somewhere. He's scary actually.

Smart people vote for Hillary!

Texican   March 3rd, 2008 11:52 am ET

Just love this fight. Too Bad both of them can't cut it as president and will lose to JOHN SYDNEY MCCAIN a real American Hero with experience and wisdom. Vote for Hillary and keep this fight going all the way to the convention.

IA   March 3rd, 2008 11:52 am ET

The Jury's being picked in the REZKO case today! I'll guarantee you OBAMA has been involved in a bad way this guy. It just don't add up!

WAKE UP OBAMA SUPPORTERS!!!

We still have time to SAVE our country from this empty suit!

HILLARY 08!

Pepou   March 3rd, 2008 11:51 am ET

The desperate housewife is running out of arguments. Pitiful.

Shannon Shiflett   March 3rd, 2008 11:51 am ET

the more clinton goes negative, the more pathetic she looks.

Sal   March 3rd, 2008 11:51 am ET

Hillary was too busy to ready the security report, when voting for the war with Iraq. Iraq want us out.

Obama is the leader we need with good political judgement.

Hillary will fail in nov.

Nader will get the young vote and Dems will loose becaus of the sore looser not wanting to bow out with grace.

For real change

Obama 08

Darryl Miller   March 3rd, 2008 11:51 am ET

When a person back is against the wall they will reach out at anything just to stay afloat. Hillary is no different although she is evil and 75% of america don't trust her and wishes she would just go away. However, she can't take a hint and owe to many people to give up now.

Steve   March 3rd, 2008 11:51 am ET

So if Hillary won't be "too busy", where was she when it came to voting whether or not to give the telecoms retroactive immunity to spy on people? The same bill that Obama was there to vote on?

Jenny MA   March 3rd, 2008 11:50 am ET

OBAMA is a desperate one!

If not, he should call his competitor:" I am waiting for you in OH and TX."

This is the race which should be. Everyone is the competitor in this race, how can you have right to ask the other to drop out.

If OBAMA is confident, he should smile to his competitor. but actually he fears, he fears what will happen in TX and OH!

He knows he will lose both states + RI........ He will be known more by American people, he will be known as a fake person from his face to his soul!

Hillary --2008!!!GO GO GO!

kim from nyc   March 3rd, 2008 11:50 am ET

Charlotte you need to get your facts correct. The back room issue regarding CANADA was INCORRECT info. Candaian officials and THE NEWS agency withdrew the statements acknowledging the ERROR!!! please get your facts straight. ignorance is bliss.

Obama 08

Dani   March 3rd, 2008 11:50 am ET

I demand a shorter campaign season, a relatively close national primary, within four months of each other and be done with it. If anyone wants to run for the presidency, put out their position papers, let the country read them and then have the debates and the primaries. This is very, very bad for the country.

Every person has the right to run and every person has the right to stay in the race and challenge their opponents right up until the convention. Get over it. This is not an American Idol vote and based on the comments from all the blogs, I kind of wonder.

Brenda Gouck   March 3rd, 2008 11:50 am ET

Hillary Clinton should step out of this campaign, negative slandering remarks and commercials aren't the campaign Obama is running. Apparently the good guy wins in the end. She and her husband are liars and should go live their lives separately instead of playing the charade she has been. Go Obama we know your ready.

Cecil   March 3rd, 2008 11:49 am ET

Lets Not Forget;
I think nearly every person who posted here can run for President!
We are all good people and love our country, even as our respective candidates.

Obama 08

God Bless America!

Charles   March 3rd, 2008 11:49 am ET

The report from Canada on Obama's meeting about NAFTA was just released and it is FALSE! Obama never said these things. Another lie cooked up by the Clinton machine.

Gunther Jones   March 3rd, 2008 11:49 am ET

Obama has absolutely no foreign policy experience. Zero, zip.
We need someone who has foreign leaders in her rolodex and on speed-dial ready to be called at all hours of the night.

Hillary's extensive work with world leaders and on foreign relations issues makes her someone this country can depend on.

Jurell Houston   March 3rd, 2008 11:49 am ET

Clinton is the epitome of wealthy and well connected. She has some nerve claiming to be a woman of the people. If she were truly a woman of and for the people then all the hype and momentum in this campaign would be surrounding her and not Obama. The people are speaking, and Hillary continues time after time to call the voice of the common people insignificant in the 11 states she has lost in a row. Had Obama suffered the same defeats, calls for his withdrawl would have been sounded long ago.

dj   March 3rd, 2008 11:49 am ET

this woman makes me sad... I'm sick of watch her cackle at herself. she's already done more damage to the democratic party than anyone in the last century, and we aren't even done with this.

there was a time when EITHER clinton or obama looked poised to steamroll the GOP, but now its fading fast because, unlike the news agencies, PEOPLE are getting sick of this race. Who's dragging this out, the guy who is up by more than 100 delegates and has won 11 races in a row???

her campaign runs on the idea she has our interests at heart, but every step along the way she proves otherwise. As a democrat its gotten to the point that I might well vote for McCain in November, but if Clinton somehow theifs this nomination I won't just vote for him, I'll become a precinct captain.

JJ   March 3rd, 2008 11:49 am ET

Hmmm. Who was too busy to actually read the intel report before authorizing Bush to invade Iraq? Oh yeah, Senator Clinton, that's right.

pupnannie   March 3rd, 2008 11:49 am ET

It's pretty sad that CNN is so negative to Hillary Clinton that they won't even post a blog criticizing obama. I put information in a blog that obama supporters should see but they won't post it. I'm sure FOX would.

Stevenson, RI   March 3rd, 2008 11:48 am ET

That Howard Wolfson is evil....it's good he's losing. He sounds like another Karl Rove.

I'm saying no to Howard and his puppet Hillary Clintonette.

Obama 08

Concerned Voter   March 3rd, 2008 11:48 am ET

Senator Obama has failed, even after 11 victories to seal the nomination. Even today, he still neck and neck in Texas and Ohio. If he can't bring the Dems together, how can he unite a nation ? Forget the speeches and the movement. Forget your ego. You have not won and it will go to the end.

AJ, IL   March 3rd, 2008 11:48 am ET

Oh Hillary and her uninformed supporters...What do you think Hillary has been doing over the last year in the Senate? Is this what Hillary-supporters expect to get for their donations, more Karl Rovian-attack antics. Obama is trying to stay about the fray of negative politics. He could simply "spit-out" similiar stuff on Hillary and take it to a higher level because there is more political Clinton garbage to choose from.

Stay positive and stay strong Obama and Obama-supporters...!

Sheri   March 3rd, 2008 11:48 am ET

OBAMA AND HILLARY MAKE ME WISH I COULD VOTE FOR GEORGE W. AGAIN.........GET A CLUE DEMOCRATS....

MCCAIN 2008!!!!!

Kevin, Louisville, Ky   March 3rd, 2008 11:48 am ET

Low despicable blow from Hillary....this is the end of the Clinton Bus..sorry Hillary but no more respect for you!!!

Obama as president is a more respectable figure...btw he did not hold a meeting cause he know when he becomes president and working hard for that, he can reshape the lives of the pple of America and those of soldiers in Afganistan for the better...

He has brought hope to a discouraged country and he will prevail ....

Can wait to see the look of your face when he whacks you silly tomorrow

Micahel Guinn, Ventura, CA   March 3rd, 2008 11:47 am ET

PLEASE QUIT SAYING OBAMA WON'T SAY THE PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE OR THAT HE WILL USE THE KORAN AND ALL THESE OTHER LIES! LEARN THE FACTS BEFORE SPEWING! HE LEADS IN THE PLEDGE IN THE SENATE AND HE'S A DEACON IN A CHRISTIAN CHURCH AND HAS BEEN FOR 12 YEARS!
IF THESE ARE THE REASONS YOU ARE FOR HILLARY, YOU NEED TO GET A GRIP OR GET EDUCATED ON THE FACTS!!!

Jules   March 3rd, 2008 11:47 am ET

It's time we overhauled the process. All the candidates are in the same position- missing important votes and hearings- that includes McCain who has missed more than any of the three and Clinton who missed the Telecom vote to go to a fundraiser. It's what's required because we drag the process out so long. And "T" is absolutely right. Overzealous supporters are desroying the party when Democrats should be clapping each other on the back at our good fortune to have such great candidates- both well informed, intelligent, and qualified in his and her own way. Time to stop bickering and start building the strong coalition we will need to push a progressive agenda forward. Keep your eye on the ball.

Praetorian, Ft. Myers, FL   March 3rd, 2008 11:46 am ET

I can tell you one thing.

Anything executive who chairs a committee or working group and doesn't call even ONE meeting would get a pretty lousy rating on his/her annual review!!

Why should Obama be any different?

Let's give him an "F" on executive skills–and vote for anybody else!!

frank ogobi   March 3rd, 2008 11:46 am ET

who is a micromanageable candidate? who said 'those behind my campaign...', is it not obvious those ship-jumping delegates are doing so for self interests? to have room and influence...where does emotion stand on the face of reason? who really represents CHANGE? A MAN OR A WOMAN WITH EXPERIENCE...?

Vince Schneider   March 3rd, 2008 11:46 am ET

In my opinion, the measure of a person, and a leader, is how they respond under pressure. Hiliary is demonstrating pettiness and fostering fear in the American people in her ads. Obama continues to inspire hope, and also responds quickly to attacks. I'm Canadian, and I don't want a loose canon reactionary as my neighbour, even if Bill Clinton is there to balance her decisions.

Donna Midkiff   March 3rd, 2008 11:46 am ET

Go Hillary! Action's speak louder than words!!!

dee   March 3rd, 2008 11:46 am ET

IT SEEMS THAT MOST OF OBAMA'S CAMPAIGN HAS BEEN ANSWERING
HILLARY ADS....WHEN DOES HE GET DOWN TO HIS ISSUES?
HILLARY'S CAMPAIGNING HAS HAD PRACTICALLY POWER POINT PRESENTATIONS TO HER PLANS. I DON'T THINK OBAMA REALLY HAS ANY PLANS EXCEPT WHAT HE HAS COPIED FROM HILLARY AND MODIFIED A BIT JUST TO CALL THEM HIS OWN....JUST LIKE HIS ADS.
FROM RUNNING FOR SENATOR CLEAR UP UNTIL NOW, OBAMA HAS ONLY POSITIONED HIMSELF FOR RUNNING FOR PRESIDENT. ALL THIS RAH RAH SIS BOOM BAH IS NOTHING BUT SMOKE SCREENS SO HE DOESN'T HAVE TO ANSWER QUESTIONS ON SPECIFIC ISSUES. WHEN HE IS ASKED ABOUT ISSUES, HE SEEMS TO START ON THEM, GET REALLY VAGUE, AND THEN GO INTO THE IRAQ WAR VOTE..AND/OR A "YES WE CAN " SPEECH.

Dupont Circle   March 3rd, 2008 11:46 am ET

I guess this is the Clinton policy of throwing everything, including the kitchen sink.

This will not shake my resolve to elect Barack Obama for president.

Hillary has a very selfish reasons for running for president–to become the first woman president.

I will not vote for Hillary so that she can make history, or so that Chelsea can have a WH wedding. These people are selfish to the core.

Obama 08
Clinton 0-Never

reba   March 3rd, 2008 11:46 am ET

Obama is a "SHOW HORSE" in the senate, not a "WORK HORSE".

He can't be bothered with doing a job he has been entrusted to do

because he is too busy running for president.

See it, hear it, smell it

Marvin Gonzalez   March 3rd, 2008 11:46 am ET

Clinton is desesperate. her perfect campaing is gone...Now she is showing...her capacity to be another politician like Bush.....and the republicans...She wants to be president and she will do anything to achive her goal...she doesnot care the party and the country...it is only her that's it!!!!Go Obama GO! Si SE PUEDE

simple thought ?   March 3rd, 2008 11:46 am ET

she who laughs last may have the last laugh?

Ron Carter   March 3rd, 2008 11:46 am ET

Obama was not in the senate at the time of the Iraq vote. Most of you Hillary supporters fail to note that 23, yes 23 senators voted against the war. And they had the same information Hillary had. Obama while not in the senate, did and does not live in a vacum. Had Ms Clinton admitted her error, I might have second thoughts. But like GWB, she can do no wrong.

Paul   March 3rd, 2008 11:45 am ET

And what was Hillary doing for the effort in Afghanistan? Sending troops to Iraq. Let's not be fooled, folks. Her "35 years of experience" didn't include any foreign policy experience before 7 years ago. Being married to a former president isn't the same as having been the president. Being a junior senator is not much different from being a freshman senator. Just because we've known her name longer doesn't make her more qualified.

mbm2008   March 3rd, 2008 11:45 am ET

OH Hilary ! Can you focus on your own message and ideas instead of attacking like the desperate woman you've become. You say you have more experience, being the wife of a President doesn't count. You've had 6 yrs in the senate thats it. While Barack has had 10 + years experience in the gov, 3 in US Senate and the rest in Illinois state senate. If your campaign is any indication of how you'd run this country, you're in deep trouble.

Diing, Washinton, DC   March 3rd, 2008 11:45 am ET

Jane Johnson, you are so laugbable indeed.

Linda   March 3rd, 2008 11:45 am ET

Her campaign has become 100% negative. Instead of "elect me because I'm good" it's "elect me because my opponent is bad"... This is exactly the sort of politics that has people gravitating towards Obama in the first place. Not to mention, completely disingenuous in that ALL of the candidates have missed their usual duties due to campaigning. God I hope she gets trounced tomorrow....

Colorado   March 3rd, 2008 11:45 am ET

It is simply this..............a vote for Obama is a vote for an army of faceless people who will implement their own agendas with Obama is president. With such little experience in Foreign affairs, economic policies and everything else.....a vote for Obama is a random vote for the people he will rely on. So ask yourself, who are you really voting for if you vote for Obama? do you know? should you care? does it matter?

LeftyLadig   March 3rd, 2008 11:44 am ET

to Gary and others who are soooo negative......

I support Obama and I think the Clintons are becoming very negative and I hope they wake up soon. That said, I do not call any Clinton supporters "stupid". I am not a naive "young person". I am a 61 year old white feminist and I greatly admire HIllary Clinton. If she was the nominee I would support her 100%. Both candidates are qualified; I just happen to believe that we need someone who can get more of America involved in choosing our leaders and that person is Barack Obama. I will support the nominee our party decides on and so should we all.

Jay   March 3rd, 2008 11:44 am ET

Obama is full of it, just like most other politicians. His whole "change" campaign is not new. Many other politicians have ran on "change." Do a little research – Obama is a typical politician just like Hillary and McCain. Any other politician gets scrutinized for every single thing they do. Obama, however, can blow stuff off or just say, "I swear I didn't do it," and his followers just believe it (without seriously looking into the matter).

Hillary gets criticized for everything from her laugh to her pant suits. McCain hasn't had too much criticism yet, but he will. Get over it, people. Obama is fair game. We're potentially going to hire him for the most important job in America. By looking at his past, we can attempt to predict how he will govern in the future. Obama isn't an angel. Now that Rezko's trial begins today, I'm sure we'll find that out. However, I doubt his supporters will even care. Stop lying to yourself, folks. Obama is a typical politician like everyone else in this race. He's not "different." Sorry.

Carol - Colorado   March 3rd, 2008 11:44 am ET

I have always been a Hillary Clinton supporter, and BARE-ak Obama's coment that Hillary is getting desparate solidified my support for her. NO RESPECT FOR OBAMA! Who wants to listen to a shallow orator for four years? If not Hillary, GO MCCAIN!

truth   March 3rd, 2008 11:44 am ET

Didn't she say during the Cleveland debate she was too busy to release her tax return ???
All candidates are busy and absent to some important meetings when campaigning ...
LOL !! that's getting so funny, I can't believe her hypocrisy
I can't wait to see the results tomorrow

Jack   March 3rd, 2008 11:43 am ET

Why is this negative? It's just pointing out the candidates record in the Senate? What Obama can't be criticized for this either? Give me a break!

jd   March 3rd, 2008 11:43 am ET

Clinton Campaign is Desperate! Vote for Obama- Obamacans

daniels   March 3rd, 2008 11:42 am ET

This really colored what had been said
SHE WILL DO OR SAY ANYTHING TO GET ELECTED.
It is a shame for her and her campaign if they can't connect with the voters.
But trying to bring fear in the mind of the American people won't help her.
She is finish,she is history now
GO OBAMA.
God will be with you through this rough and narrow path.

junglejim123   March 3rd, 2008 11:42 am ET

Great Ad Hillary. nothing but the truth...always off running his mouth and giving speeches but never there to vote or HOLD HEARINGS. Afghanistan is too important to ignore. The terrorists who committed 9-11 are hiding here and they need to be found – something Bushie seems to have forgotten. Then we have OBAMMY who is too busy TALKING to do anything. How did this Rezko- financed chain smoking moron get this far ?? Go back to chicago and smoke your crack with Oprah.

Casey, Atlanta   March 3rd, 2008 11:42 am ET

Hillary is doing well to sharpen the contrast. She's campaigning to win, but I do believe – I hope- if and when it becomes evident that she is going to lose that she will graciously congratulate the winner and concede.

sad   March 3rd, 2008 11:41 am ET

If Obama is going to claim that he is the change we can all believe in, then he needs to be able to support those claims. Not holding hearings, opposing the war before he was an elected senator with "no skin in the game" is hardly proof. If you had spent 35 years working for America and you were very close in delegate leads with supporters who still strongly support your candidacy would you walk away? And, finally, Hillary Clinton is the result of women's civil rights in America and she is the first and best qualified woman to ever run for office. She has earned her place in this election.

Betawny   March 3rd, 2008 11:41 am ET

What about BEFORE the campaign. He never bothered to hold a hearing BEFORE. And sorry, it is still mathematically possible for Hillary to win.

Go Hill

John in PA   March 3rd, 2008 11:41 am ET

All of these calls for Hillary to drop out because she can't "legally win" are absolutely hilarious. In case you haven't noticed, to "legally win" the nomination, you need 2,025 delegates. Obama would have to win somewhere around 80% of the remaining delegates to attain that number. Thus, your argument can be used against you. In fact, Obama should drop out because he can't "legally win" the nomination. Seems to me self-doubt has crept deep within the Obama camp, and they are now getting desperate. Hillary has sharpened her attacks, and he has no answers. What do you think McCain and the Republican attack machine are going to do to this lightweight? This ain't nothing people.

Andrew   March 3rd, 2008 11:40 am ET

When I elect a leader, I want someone with a keen knowledge of foreign affairs. Thats why I support Hillary Clinton. Hillary Clinton, the candidate smart enough to say "NO" to maps, the candidate that knows Afghanistan is in Europe, not Asia.

Landers   March 3rd, 2008 11:40 am ET

The more I learn about Obama and hear his intolerable speeches the more I'm sick of him.

I voted for Clinton twice, Gore and Kerry once but will never vote for Barak Obama.

Hillary supporter   March 3rd, 2008 11:40 am ET

So, Obama didn't vote for the war. OK, Hillary was wrong in this vote,. But – is this a fair comparison? NO – Obama wasn't in a position to vote in the first place! I"m so sick of 'right on Day 1'. A fair comparison would be Kucinich vs. Clinton. This just shows Obama's lack of experience. Hillary, good luck tomorrow!!!

HILLARY 08!!!!!!!

Anna N.   March 3rd, 2008 11:40 am ET

GO HILLARY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Mark   March 3rd, 2008 11:40 am ET

Yes, and let's check Hillary's record as well..... I believe she too may have been out on the campaign trail this year as well.

Oh by the way, Hillary, have you had time yet to disclose your tax returns prior to Tuesday's primaries, or is Bill too busy to release his White House papers?

Seems to me the American people d not need to wake-up to yet another Clinton "smoking gun" on Wednesday, March 5th, dupped by lack of knowledge as to the possible sources of funding for your campaign and whether "behind the scenes" you were indeed supporting NAFTA or other unpopular issues while waiting for the phone to ring at 3:00 am.

Come clean – we deserve good governance, transparency and integrity back in the White House.

Yes We Do. Yes We Can.

Cecil   March 3rd, 2008 11:40 am ET

Sen.Hillary Clinton, Please what an insult. You of All People.

Obama 08

Suzette   March 3rd, 2008 11:40 am ET

Hillary,
has missed several Senate sessions while out on the campaign trail. She has stooped to a new low. I will not vote for Hillary in the general election under any circumstance. I am an independent who was planning to vote the democratic ticket this fall, however, if my choice is Hillary or McCain, I choose McCain. Enough with the Clinton desperate sceams. She needs to stop the foolishness for the sake of the party!

Joan   March 3rd, 2008 11:40 am ET

After watching the Cleveland debate where Hillary said "Whhhy do I always get the first question?? (poor baby) I can really relate to the 3am phone call in the White House "Whhhy do I get the first call"

Just remember she can say anything today and she probably will. What does she have to lose!! Go Barack!!!

AK   March 3rd, 2008 11:39 am ET

Mcain is dying for Obama to win so he can can make a clean sweep across America. We need Hillary to beat Mcain. Is America that blind to see that if Obama wins Texas and/or Ohio and Hillary pulls out, that an Obama candidate for President will lose to John Mcain. 4 more years of the Bush style Whitehouse! We will be in serious trouble. Wake up America, at a minimum, wake up Texas and Ohio and vote Hillary.

yoshi927   March 3rd, 2008 11:39 am ET

I find it insulting that people who think drivel like this actually means something are telling me to "wake up".

Sue, NY   March 3rd, 2008 11:39 am ET

I have said it before and I will say it again....When all of the candidates are campaigning every day for so many months which one of them is actaully getting any senatorial work done for our country. She has no leg to stand on this one....she is in the same "not doing anything" boat.

Belle   March 3rd, 2008 11:38 am ET

Truth hurts, doesn't it?

I have done some things in life, I am not proud of....but I admitted I was wrong, apologized and tried to make it right where I could...and moved on...

Mr. Obama "JUSTIFIED" running for President for NOT HOLDING ONE D___ MEETING FOR 13 MONTHS!!!

Mrs. Clinton also heads a Senate Subcommittee....yet she MANAGED to Chair TWO meetings in the same time frame, show up to cast her vote in the Senate, go to the Black State of the Union, Attend a Funeral of a fallen officer in the line of dutry, and Criss cross the country campaigning.

Sorry Mr. Obama....I'd RATHER have a President that BELIEVES SHE CAN AND DOES!

Allan Camden, SC   March 3rd, 2008 11:38 am ET

I suppose Sen. Clinton didn't miss any votes either! What's gotten into CNN? Hillary's complaints must have gotten to you. I didn't think you were biased in favor of Obama, but you certainly seem to have shifted your tone in the past week.

peggy   March 3rd, 2008 11:38 am ET

I have questions about the drug history that was on a show about 2008 decisions that gave the life history of the canidates. the questionsn came up on Obama's drug history, which he freely admits to as a teenager and a young person, but my questions are on which drugs. The reason for the questions are different drugs have different long term side effects even after one has been treated and gone into a drug-free state. I am concerned as even a lowly soldier or Airman is put through a regimen on their history if in the military. Then why is it not just as important to know this information on an individual who may be the commander in chief of those services some day. Please investigate and provide the information to the public like myself.

belle   March 3rd, 2008 11:37 am ET

Obama should have declined the position and let someone who had the time take it on so that things got done. I guess it looked too good on his resume, though.

F   March 3rd, 2008 11:37 am ET

Desperate people do desperate things. Her ad is a waste of money. Every one in their right minds knows that the candidates for president are on the road, including the same Hillary. To come up with this is desperate as desperate goes. Texas, Ohio, Vermont, RhodeIsland, please end this mess for her.

Rob,NC   March 3rd, 2008 11:37 am ET

The question really is, how much has Hillary really done since launching her campaign? I am concerned though about the situation with the Candadian-NAFTA thing. I am an Obama supporter, so my hope is that this is just some "right-wing" smear tactic, but I have a feeling there is more substance here, so the only hope is that this Obama staffer was speaking on his own accord and not reflecting the view of Obama himself, but its not very good news for Obama.

Kay   March 3rd, 2008 11:36 am ET

To all the people who plan on voting during this Presidentail Election.
Here are just 2 thoughts:
1. Is there anything Barack Obama can be criticized on with it being considered "racial" or "desparate" by his opponent? The only thing that cannot be criticized I think is God and if Obama is a messiah than you guys are right. He is the most perfect human being on this planet. He only employs people who have worked for lobbyists that's why he can't be influenced by lobbyists? Anyone care, even CNN, to research this?
2. Why are some of the Democratic party establishment ready to call this race over so soon? Are they just trying to avoid their own decison making if this race should come down to superdelegates. I thought America was where all "men" are created equal and everyone should go for the American dream. Right, the phrase is "men", there is no reference to "women" in the US Constitution.

Cecil   March 3rd, 2008 11:36 am ET

Hello America; before she voted.

I can't beleive that Sen. Clinton didn't read the National Intelligence Estimate on Iraq before she voted in 2002 to authorize the president to use military force against Saddam Hussein.
Very poor Judgement!

She had time to read it, but choose the lazy way out. 'Just Brief Me" What if this was a vote to drop an atom bomb at a later date.
Just Brief Me, I would hope not.

What a great leader she would make. Doesn't bother to read the important stuff. Then says President Bush lied about the Report. When did she read it.

I think this is very shameful.

Obama 08

Robert   March 3rd, 2008 11:36 am ET

Its about time that Obama is held accountable for his inexperience. Come on Obama people, wake up !!

Sean Paul   March 3rd, 2008 11:36 am ET

If She is not that busy why she is not giving her tax return details?

May be voters will find out how much money she took from the lobbyist.

If She is not that busy why she is not giving her list of visits when she was first lady?

May be voters will find out how much experience she actually have.

Everybody knows she is getting desparate day by day.

OBAMA 2008

Ross, Chautauqua, NY   March 3rd, 2008 11:36 am ET

Hillary's first objective is furthering her own political advantage, never doing what is best for the American people. Nor is she capable of telling the truth. This lifelong Democrat will vote for McCain if her despicable tactics win.

KWABENA AFRANE   March 3rd, 2008 11:36 am ET

MRS. CLINTON IS INDEED DESPERATE. SHE WILL STOP AT NOTHING TO GET THE VOTES SHE NEEDS. AMERICANS SHOULD BE WISE AND NOT GIVE IN TO CHEAP POLITICS THAT WILL NOT TAKE THEM ANY WHERE. AMERICA NEEDS A NEW IMAGE OF ITSELFAND THAT REQUIRES NEW PEOPLE AND NOT THOSE WHO ARE ALREADY IN THE MUD.

Gary   March 3rd, 2008 11:35 am ET

Hillary is trying to wake you stupid Obama voters up to reality. She cares about our country ,and has shown time after time.He shows he has no time to do his responsibilities time after time. What is really going to happen ,if that red phone does ring.Will he be to busy than. You are all bought with his hypocrytical smooth talk. Canada even sees through him. He is so good to conterdick everything he says.His only weapon against Hillary is bringing up Iraq. This country was ready for war after the 911 tragedy .He is such a B.S. .He didnt want war because ,he couldnt vote about it,otherwise he would of voted for it to.If not ,its because he is connected with those countries in the west.Obama you might sell the naive young people in this country,but you sure the hell dont sell me. Hillary dosnt slam Obama every minute ,like he does.Iraq,Irag, changes,changes,yes we can, yes we can,Not Him, all of you dellusional Obama voters.He is nothing but a broken record.Wake up America before he sells your soul to some place you dont want to see. concerned viet nam vet God help us all

Henry   March 3rd, 2008 11:35 am ET

This is really becoming sadder and sadder, I'm getting tired of Hillary, lies and lies, really hope her end will come tomorrow, I'm really sick of her now, that's really enough...

AZ   March 3rd, 2008 11:35 am ET

Did Clinton vote on the Telecom Amnesty Bill?

No.

She was too busy running for President.

Again, gross hypocrisy in action from the Clinton camp.

maynard   March 3rd, 2008 11:35 am ET

Obama is too busy running for president is that what you said hillary....

1 he needs to run for the presidency we don,t want you or bill back.

2 you cannot even hand over your income papers for everone to see.
yet your are running for the job too what is your excuse.

3 doomsday is near hillary start packing your bags i think you are done in the politcal world. which is a big plus for everbody involved.
it might have been different if old bedroom eyes were not out compaigning for you.

4 once a thief always a thief how much property did you take from the whitehouse when you and the womanizer moved out

5 you say barack obama has been giver special treatment.....i.ll
disagree with you on this..... since when do ex presidents get to take anything they want out of the whitehouse when they leave and are even asked by the police to bring the property back that was taken
IF YOU WILL NOTICE NOT ONE NEWS REPORTER HAS EVEN TOUCHED THIS ITEM ABOUT YOUR TRUSTWORTHYNESS OR OTHER THINGS THAT WENT ON WHILE YOU WERE IN THE WHITEHOUSE.

6 we must vote for honesty and integrity on March 4. the experience
will come ...you sure don,t have any of this but obama will have the best in this business around him to help.

T   March 3rd, 2008 11:35 am ET

To see that this race has become divisive, one only needs to look as far as the comments written on articles like these.

I hope for the good of the country that the matter is settled one way or the other after tomorrow. Seeing each candidate's supporters tear into each other threatens the hope each might bring.

Debra   March 3rd, 2008 11:35 am ET

Hillary nor Obama has an experience for being the president. Hillary and her backyard deals will keep this country in a mess. Change is what everyone is looking for and that includes a new president with a new last name.

For the last twenty years we have dealt with either Bush or Clintons. We want change! Real change!

Just because she is a woman and was married to Bill doesn't mean she is the right choice and has all the experience. The bottom line is we want change. The republicans would love to have Hillary has the nominee so they can chew her up..Her entire background would be their focus of attack. Obama is real about change and the problem is America is so used to junk and politics as usual we can't even see someone like Obama is really running to make a difference in our country and how we are perceived.

D.   March 3rd, 2008 11:35 am ET

So True. I don't need another Bush in the white house.

Hillary 2008!

toby   March 3rd, 2008 11:34 am ET

Hillary just doing the MSM job for them. They should be investigating items like these plus the NAFTA stuff. GO HILLARY 08. Dont quit go all the way till the convention in August. GO Hillary 08

Go Hillary, Fort Lauderdale   March 3rd, 2008 11:34 am ET

The TRUTH about this SHADY person we call OBAMA is starting to surface. Tomorrow is a day of dedemption for HILLARY.

Tired of This   March 3rd, 2008 11:33 am ET

Hillary, please be reasonable! You cant win this "legally" so please drop out now. If you "steal" the nomination the democratic party will suffer and millions of voters will never forgive you, do the right thing. You had a good run, it just didn't work out!

Lets Get Ready for Change!   March 3rd, 2008 11:33 am ET

Listen up Hillary Supporters.... It appears as though she is reaching. All of this should have been brought up before now and she possibly wouldn't have lost 10 or 11 straight elections. If this was such an issue, when he kept slamming her on her IRAQ vote why didn't she mention this. Did she just find this information out? I DON'T THINK SO!
And ladies (I am a lady) do just vote for her to see a woman in the White House. This is a very shallow way to think. Think about changing the White House and changing from the status quo unless you like the status quo which many people don't!

king from toronto   March 3rd, 2008 11:33 am ET

is this the kind of negativity the amearican people wants in the white house.no different from the bush past.voters better put an end to this before it's to late.obama 08

Deb IL   March 3rd, 2008 11:33 am ET

What is wrong with this blog?!!! Everytime I submit, it disappears into oblivion. Doesn't even say waiting for moderation anymore!!! Wow, you are getting really good at deleting Pro Clinton, anti Obama rational arguments. How proud you will be when you get another unsuitable candidate placed in the White House! Stay the Course HIllary – you are still the best.

jakarason   March 3rd, 2008 11:33 am ET

I predict Hillary to lose her senate seat 2012 trust me. No way you can trust hillary, look her face when she talking she is a liar and Texas and ohio don't trust this women. Laura Bush she is much better than Hillary trust me even though i dont like bush. I

No Clintons   March 3rd, 2008 11:32 am ET

The more she attacks Obama, the more Obama gains. Perhaps, if HIllary stopped attacking and stop doing negative ads, maybe more and more people will start voting for her I used to support her, but because of her attitude and her negative ads that sicken me, my vote is now for Obama.

Farrell, Houston, Tx   March 3rd, 2008 11:32 am ET

RELEASE YOUR TAX INFORMATION HILLARY. HILLARY PROMISED THREE (3) WEEKS AGO RELEASE HER TAX INFORMATION, NOW SHE SAYS ON APRIL 15TH SHE'LL RELEASE THEM. HILLARY HAS LIED OVER AND OVER AGAIN ABOUT HER TAXES, SHE'S HIDING SOMETHING AND IT DOESN'T TAKE A FOOL TO RECOGNIZE THAT. VOTE OBAMA.

kim   March 3rd, 2008 11:31 am ET

Now where was Senator Clinton while Bill was adding to the already messed up NAFTA? As said before, you can't pick & choose when you support something & when you don't.

Phil   March 3rd, 2008 11:31 am ET

Chyrel   March 3rd, 2008 11:30 am ET

Enough already! We're all losing sight of what's really important here. This is becoming way more vicious and uglier than what is necessary. Clinton is down 11 consecutive primaries and caucuses. Very likely Obama will win Texas, Rhode Island and Vermont tomorrow as well. Are you all on opiates? The hand writing is on the wall. It's time for all of us Democrats to stop all this petty, frivolous bickering about the candidates and rally behing the inevitable likely winner, Obama in this case, for the betterment of the country. If we don't we're looking at another 4-yrs of what's just about destroyed us with McCain and Bush. While we're wasting energy on Clinton's pit bull political tactics and Obama's so called inexperience the republicans & conservatives are rallying behind McCain. If the Democrats don't come to their senses we'll all be looking at McCain as the 44th President of the United States of America. God help us all.

Ex- Clinton Supporter   March 3rd, 2008 11:30 am ET

I was a Hillary supporter until today.

TL   March 3rd, 2008 11:30 am ET

I find it very suspect when a candidate comes out with new negative attack commercail less than 24 hours before the election because it does not give the opponent time to respond to the attack. It's just a dirty campaign tactic. Why didn't Hilary come out with this commercail before now?

Michael "C" in Lorton, Virginia   March 3rd, 2008 11:30 am ET

Hillary's ads are about as effective as the geniuses running her campaign. Her anger to "punish" Obama will only turn around and punish her. She is truly in complete denial.

Politra   March 3rd, 2008 11:29 am ET

Mrs.Clinton should not undermine & defame another democrat to such extent.

Gram   March 3rd, 2008 11:29 am ET

It's about time for the truth about Barak's lack of leadership to come out. He's certainly not represented his IL constituents over the past year. Sen. Clinton, you have my vote.

Jeff Spangler, Arlington, VA   March 3rd, 2008 11:28 am ET

How much time does Chairperson-of-Something-or-Other Clinton spend on keeping her hair so stiff it never moves? That's got to be a major effort.

Fundamental Question   March 3rd, 2008 11:28 am ET

"Change" Question: What has Obama done while in Senate to bring the Democrats and Republicans together?

Jed in Texas   March 3rd, 2008 11:28 am ET

You folks are like little kids fighting on the playground.Do some homework and find out the facts.Its more about your future and your survival in it.Big promises can turn to big failures fast,just look at the recent past.

Sharon   March 3rd, 2008 11:28 am ET

Of course, he's been too busy repeating what Hillary says and doing what Hillary does....he can't make a move or speak until she does.....

She's not chairing that committee, so why would Obama hold a meeting...he would have needed Hillary to tell him to do so...the man can't think for himself....that why he doesn't hold meetings, doesn't vote, and doesn't say anything but hope change, hope change, hope change.....

Nancy FL   March 3rd, 2008 11:28 am ET

The media still continues to put Senate Hillary Clinton down. When pictures are shown on TV of both of the campaigns you always show Obama with a wide lens so everyone can see his speeches, but when it comes to Hillary you only show her and a few people and we all know that she holds large crowds. I like her ads and she is correct she will fight for what's right for the people.
You Go Hillary, your the best.

Ann   March 3rd, 2008 11:27 am ET

Mr. C how can you say that Obama is loyal to the american people when he won't even pledge allegiance to the flag.
Furthermore he keeps talking about Hillary voting for the war but he has no problem with people who are backing him that voted for the war.
He is a hypocrite and anyone who can not see through this is crazy!!!
Hillary stay in there until the convention. I'm sure that this is not over yet and in months to come we are going to find aut about the real Obama and his crap about change.
Don't give up we are behind you 100%

Go Hillary

Mary Jo in Illinois   March 3rd, 2008 11:27 am ET

Two more great television ads that speak the truth! Texas, Ohio, Rhode Island, Vermont, and the rest of America need Sen. Hillary Clinton.

True Democrat   March 3rd, 2008 11:27 am ET

If by some miracle, Obama loses the next 11 straight...better believe he should be counting on the media to call it a close race.

Clinton is getting serious preferential treatment.

Come on, Hillary!

reality check   March 3rd, 2008 11:27 am ET

....and those are the kinds of results that you can expect if Obama is president. Wake up America! He even by his own admission said that he would be apt to run the country like CEO and leave it to his advisors to do the real work. Take the blinders off and see this guy for what he is. He wants to be President more than he wants anything else. He lacks crediblity, integrity and substance. Vote responsibly, please...and say NObama.

Hillary (or McCain) '08

Kristopher   March 3rd, 2008 11:27 am ET

WOO!!!!

These are the kinds of things people need to think about when they go and vote!

and its all True....Hillary is the right one for the job!!!!

THIS IS CLINTON COUNTRY!!!!

TEXAS FOR HILLARY!!!!

Micahel Guinn, Ventura, CA   March 3rd, 2008 11:26 am ET

Hillary- anyone with a brain knows that he's been running for President- and beating the heck out of your campaign since getting that chairmanship. That's your REAL gripe- what you thought was inevitable just "ain't gonna happen!" PS- How many commitees have you sat in on in the last year? I think you know that this whole thing is ridiculous. You need to withdraw and show that the unity of the party and beating the Republicans is something you believe in!

Adam   March 3rd, 2008 11:26 am ET

This is true sign of desperation, but people watch out, whole system is helping her. If you follow TV, you could see how systematically whole organizational set up is trying to help her, e.g.

1. She is short of money, so CSPAN, NBC and MSNBC is running her town meetings, calling her to SNL just before important primaries and re-running all those, respectively for free and you can't even see a single thing about Obama.

2. Every one knew, pollster showed Obama lead in NH and Hillary won because of high turn out of her fan to make her victory possible, so media is showing Obama leads in TX and OH, to motivate and mobilize Hillary voters.

To me it seems like media wants McCain as next president.

G Waggerby   March 3rd, 2008 11:25 am ET

I think it is pathetic that the " Clintons" have to hand out cheap shots in order to get their votes.
What dirty trick does Hillary and Bill have up their sleeevs for March 4th????
I hope Obama does NOT give her a placement in the cabinet.
H e would have her dirty cheating habits going on behind his back all day long.

Luis Rodriquez   March 3rd, 2008 11:25 am ET

When has a senate hearing been so crucial in reference to any actions American troops play in foreign affairs.... The truth is Senator Obama took control of this committee right before his bid for President... I am sure he knew that his influence as President to help the troops would be more of an advantage than being a Senate Chairman... I respect Mrs. Clinton, but she is coming off as too much as a Divider, at least Mr. Obama told the truth about his situation, and for the looks of it, his Presidential bid is paying off; for people are uniting, coming together, and young people are finally excited unlike anytime before, and I am sure this has to make Parents very proud to see the young people really envolved. I am glad that Senator Obama is running and whether he wins or lose, I appreciate his candor, his leadership, and most importantly his manner in how he deals with the critics of both Senator Clinton and the media.

Matt, Indiana   March 3rd, 2008 11:25 am ET

Stick a fork in Obama, he's done! He needs to drop out of the race NOW! He has no experience, he is a liar and a cheat. If people would actually open their eyes and do a little research on their own, they would realize this. Instead, they choose to bicker and complain about Hillary because she is a powerful WOMAN and they cannot stand that fact! If you took the time to actually look at her record you would see she would be a wonderful President.

Also, if Obama was so ANTI-War, why has he voted EXACTLY the same as Hillary in regards to the Iraq war ever since he has had accountability? I guarantee if he was in the Senate when they were voting for the war, he would've stamped a big fat YES on it. His speech is nothing but that, words without any accountability. Wake up people!!

HILLARY '08!!!! The *ONLY* chance for change!!!

Krishna & Ranga   March 3rd, 2008 11:25 am ET

The "fierce urgency of now" touted by Obama is nothing but his urgent wish to occupy the Whitehouse. The "fierce urgency of now" for us all is to make sure that we donn't fall for tall talk and flowery rhetoric.

FORUSA   March 3rd, 2008 11:24 am ET

Really? But he is so young? And he is always says "Yes, we can"

And I also find that he hates debates, maybe because debates need something you can not prepare but speech can just read what has been prepared.

Sal in Phoenix   March 3rd, 2008 11:24 am ET

Senator Clinton, as long as there is a mathematical chance to win the nomination, don't quit...It's just a matter of time before the real Obama is exposed for the corruption he's been involved in with Rezko.

shobha   March 3rd, 2008 11:24 am ET

Straight talk about Obama's absence on key issues including vote on Iran is "getting desparate". When on Earth did Obama become untouchable? How did he get on that pedestal? Who put him there without any scrutiny? You all – media and hip-hop generation who can't think beyond "this moment". Win or loose, I am glad Hillary is raising these issues. Mccain will just roast him. Then we all will wake up to another 4 yrs of republican rule. Who to blame? The media pundits and brain-less followers of Obama

Justin   March 3rd, 2008 11:24 am ET

You could say the same thing about Hillary. This ad means nothing. It only convinces more of her simple-minded supporters to not vote for Obama. It really sucks that we live in a country where the first woman with a decent shot at becoming president acts like a high school girl spreading false rumors about someone she doesn't like. She has too much experience in the negative aspect of campaigns for me to even stomach her in the White House. Shame on you Hillary. I thought you'd know better.

George from Minneapolis   March 3rd, 2008 11:23 am ET

Hillary tell us exactly what an oversight hearing is and what impact does it have on average americans lives ??

What impact does an OVERSIGHT HEARING have on the day to day lives of the troops in Afghanistan ??? I bet not much.

hms   March 3rd, 2008 11:23 am ET

People, if he is running for the President and doesn't have the time, can he not delegate it to someone.. We all do that at our work.

He was missing on the Iran Revolutionary guard vote too while Clinton and Mccain were there.

So how do we judge this guy, if not on his record..

WAKE UP PEOPLE!!!

CNN THANKS FOR FINALLY BEING OBJECTIVE ON YOUR REPORTING... Better late than never...

Okra Mouth   March 3rd, 2008 11:23 am ET

At this point, she knows she can't win, but she want to inflict as much harm on Obama as possible, so that Obama will be very wounded before facing McCain.

The Clinton's want POWER for themselves, and they DON'T CARE about the Democratic party.

after March 4, ....the Billary Clinton's campaign will finally IMPLODE

Hillary has been too busy to release her tax return, and whiteHouse documents... she really has something to hide !!

This is the last desperate move....

Vic   March 3rd, 2008 11:23 am ET

Anyone who truly wants to know more about the trash politicians called "Clinton" should simply Goggle "Clinton Scandals". There is enough information out there on these two characters to make you want to puke.

Cold Warrior   March 3rd, 2008 11:23 am ET

It will get uglier before it gets better. Hillary stayed the course with Bill during the scandals to ensure she got this shot with his needed backing. The Clintons do not want to slip quietly into the night. YOu will see blood before she drops out.

No more multi colored pant suits!

You want change you will get it ,but not what your expecting. You knocked and slammed the only one that was qualified to be leader.I dont feel sorry for this country when it falls.You Americans decided to vote in a canadate with nothing to show but a big mouth.

Chuck in Oregon   March 3rd, 2008 11:21 am ET

Much is said about nothing that is not true for all the candidates that were running, as they dropped out they returned to their normal every day jobs. What can one expect when they are trying to raise funds for their campaign and actually out there beating the streets meeting the public, holding rallies and talking to/organizing their core staff and workers? It is the same every 4 years, so get over it and move on.

DROP OUT NOW

Gary in CT   March 3rd, 2008 11:20 am ET

This is the worst presentation of leadership I can recall in an election year. There have been some great slugfests throughout history in the Democratic Party, but none have been as detrimental to the party as is going on in this race. Hillary Clinton is destroying the Democrats chances of winning in the fall. She is doing more damage than to her own party than any previous third party candidate has ever done. I fully forsee her taking this battle all the way to the convention, and when she loses there, and has completely ruined the Democrats chances of beating McCain, she'll stand beside Barack, take his hand in hers, hold it over their heads, and say, "United We Stand! Yes We Can!!" Shameful. Absolutely shameful.

Bruce Taylor,Berkeley/Sacramento,CA   March 3rd, 2008 11:20 am ET

SHE SHOULD PUT OUT A COMMERCIAL ON HER IRAQ WAR VOTE AND TELL US ABOUT THAT.

Vic   March 3rd, 2008 11:20 am ET

It's interesting that Obama has not mentioned in his adds the corruption that was rampant in Clinton's years in the White House.

He does not mention how she stole $200,000 of valuables and treasures from the White house when they left – like a pack of white trash hillbillies.

He does not mention how Bill Clinton was disbarred and how Hillary almost met a similar fate for perjury.

Obama has never mentioned how Hillary got her hubby to overthrow the convictions of several of her former law partners, convicted as felons in the shady land deal she was center of with a Presidential Pardon.

This add exemplifies exactly why the Clintons should be shunned as white trash. President of the United States? Hardly.

JA Cook   March 3rd, 2008 11:20 am ET

Committees, and especially sub-committees, do far more than hold hearings. They gather information, construct reports and inform other members of the committee of the results.

Hillary knows that but found a way to make a non-issue sound like one. Her refusal to release her tax information is a bigger issue in my opinion. Who's underwriting Hill and Bill?

The real point of interest on the sub-committee is what has they been doing, not whether or not they have held hearings.

Joe   March 3rd, 2008 11:20 am ET

Obama is not telling the truth. He told voters in Ohio yesterday that his supporter Senator Rockefeller did not vote for the Iraq War....which in fact he DID vote for the war. Why isn't the media questioning Obama about this lie?

Sara   March 3rd, 2008 11:19 am ET

Uhh – this committee was formed in Jan. 2008? We now have March 3 – hardly long enough to warrant an expensive TV ad about inaction.
Honestly, the Obama clip sort of makes a good case for the reason that hearings have not yet been held.

Tim   March 3rd, 2008 11:19 am ET

The truth is that the primary season is entirely too long and time consuming and any serious contender for president is forced to this position. Where was Senator Clinton on the telcom vote? At a fundraiser. I don't blame her. The system demands it. McCain has missed his share of votes as well. We need a national primary.It's absurd. It's not that any of the candidates are willfully neglectful- it's that they don't have clones to be in 2 places at once and missing a meeting at a plant in Ohio would garner as much criticism.. Cut them all a break on this one and reform the process. That's the only solution.

KW   March 3rd, 2008 11:19 am ET

Obama....let's have a talk about NAFTA. Now once again, What did you tell the Canadians??? Seems to me, it's not what you told Americans.

Hillary 08

Mark   March 3rd, 2008 11:19 am ET

WOW what a hypocrite. It's walking a fine line when you're a candidate who has also done NOTHING in the Senate while campaigning to attempt to blast your opponent for doing the same thing.

This has actually been written about as part of the "Clinton playbook". Attack your opponents on things you have actually done yourself. The hope is that your first attack, not the opponent's rebuttal, will stick in the mind of voters, which often works.

That was Hillary's plan with the "shame on you" of a week ago, when she attempted to highlight his "inaccurate" ad, despite the fact that her campaign had put out equally reprehensible ads in Wisconsin a week earlier....

rastarr   March 3rd, 2008 11:19 am ET

Keep bringing the truth to light Hillary
Make him respond...he looks bad when-ever he responds, it is a attack! The very thing he condems both you and McCain for . It just shows his double standars and that he is the desparte one!

Media loves conflict...then why have they not pursued the conflict of Obama...He is conflict!

Go Hillary, We all Love You!

Marc   March 3rd, 2008 11:18 am ET

Yeah,Year Obama daying it's not about attacking each others campaine it's about who can run.Obama had said that Hillaary campaine ad "Who will be there to pick up the phone in the white house" He said Hillary is just trying to put faer into the people.And the ad was toward him.Well he did the same ad.who would you want to be president to pick up the phone in the white house.Obama did just what Hillary did,and Hillary didn't do this to put toward Obama,Obama is letting people believe that it's Hillary who runs her mouth toward him.well it's the other way around.Just listen to him.He will talk about what Hillary says and knock her for it and then turns around and says the same but with some added words.He doesn't know what to say.He gets it from the women herself Hillary.He doesn't want to be beat by a women.The first women president. Obama the first black president? How can that be? Obama is Black/white So the media needs to get it right..I am black and I am white to.Let's call it as it is.

Electress   March 3rd, 2008 11:18 am ET

Obama, during his last debate said I've been campaing for a year.
In the prior debate he said two years. He has only been in senate
for three years, with that being said, do you think he is "taking
care of business". When he voted in Chicago, he voted present
too many times, and on very important issues. He can't seem
to make up his mind, especially when it will effect his political
positioning. Enough of this kind of judgement!

Obama wants to be for the people, but once he gets down to the nitty gritty, he seems to take the higher ground that enables him to have power, but not power to the people, power to the politician. That
tells you all his "judgements".

If his judgement is spot on, look at Chicago's housing, and educational problems, healt care, it is worst than most in this country.

Hillary I can trust, Obama get back!

Jane Johnson   March 3rd, 2008 11:18 am ET

As a black woman, I am so upset with Obama, he knows that the right witng are just using him against Hilary Clinton knowing that white Americans will never vote for him in general election. I am sick of him and all these black people supporting him. They have no brain. The republicans knows how to win. Blacks can you ask yourselves why all these republicans are voting for him. We have had good relations with the clintons and now this idiot wants to spoil the relationship with his republicans. I bet you he will loose so bad to Mcain and will never be re-elected in the senate. This means another 8 years of hardship with a republican president. It just hurts that this man thinks that he can be the president of America. Look at all the countries blacks are ruling, they are all in ruins.

Mary   March 3rd, 2008 11:18 am ET

C'mon Hillary...you are not only throwing the kitchen sink, but the garbage disposal as well. Give it up girl...you can't win it.

FreshFlavor   March 3rd, 2008 11:18 am ET

Cry me a river Hillary. OBAMA 08 you cant change fate.

Joshua College Station Texas   March 3rd, 2008 11:18 am ET

Hillary Clinton wears her qualifications on her sleeve. As ornery and backbiting and divisive as she is now in these desperate moments is how she will be as President. She will be an emotional roller coaster ride. She will do some good things, intermixed with some very bad, scandalous things, which she will never take responsibility for, and which will weigh her down. She'll be like Bill but worse. But she will be a woman! And that's new. And she probably won't have multiple affairs while in office.

RO   March 3rd, 2008 11:18 am ET

Obama is a joke!!!

He didn't have any authority on the Iraq vote, he considers NAFTA to be politically convenient, he's missing in action on the senate foreign relations subcommittee, and all of his bills were introduced early this year for political convenience. The man has not gotten anything done! Words are important, but actions speak louder than words. I hope by the end of all this he eats his own.

Hillary 08

Tell it!   March 3rd, 2008 11:17 am ET

Stop running from the truth. Stop letting Obama get away with things that you wouldn't dare let Hillary get away with.

Be honest. Be brave and be responsible; We have a world to lead. We have a country to save. We have to break away from this crazy onesidedness. Step and do the right thing!

The campaign obligations are demanding but, there are other things more important then winning. It's being hoest with yourself. I thought Obama was all that. And he is. But all that isn't what we need. We need solutions to problems. Not window dressing!

Vote Hillary!

SID FROM NEW YORK   March 3rd, 2008 11:17 am ET

SHE IS TEARING THIS PARTY APART AND SHE WILL STOP AT NOTHING IN LUST FOR POWER..

HILLIARY IS THE WORST PERSON THE DEMACRATIC PARTY HAS EVER SEEN.
NAME ONE OTHER PERSON THAT HAS DONE THIS MUCH DAMAGE AND INFIGHT TO THIS PARTY?

WE DONT WANT YOU AND YOUR BUSH/ROVE POLITICS

OBAMA 08

Iowan for CLINTON   March 3rd, 2008 11:17 am ET

Mr. C – this is old news???

So is Senator Clinton's vote on the Iraq conflict – but Obummer's people sound like a broken record continuously bringing it up!

Obummer hasn't proven anything except he can read speech lines from a teleprompter.

HILLARY CLINTON – THE PRESIDENT WE CAN DEPEND ON

laura   March 3rd, 2008 11:17 am ET

Obama made a real estate deal with a criminal named Rezko. He is running on his judgement, well that sounds like bad judgement to me.

He works with lobbyists, they run his campaign and he is friends with them, just because he doesn't take there money makes him any different. He is so full of it.

Putting Hagel or Lugar in his administration is NOT CHANGE, that is Washington on the wrong side!!!

The only change Obama will offer us is CHANGE IN OUR POCKETS!!!!!!!!!

Vic   March 3rd, 2008 11:16 am ET

If you're true Obama supporters, you won't indulge in name-calling and negativity.......or are you getting desperate?

Tim R   March 3rd, 2008 11:15 am ET

While I would agree that he probably should have called at least one meeting, this pales in comparison to changing how politics is done in Washington. I would much rather he focus on winning the presidency and be able to exert far more influence than just this chairmanship.

Now, speaking of spending time on important things while running a presidential campaign - why hasn't Hillary released her tax returns and records of her days in the white house [where she gained so much experience, gag me]?

We need REAL change; we need Obama!

julie   March 3rd, 2008 11:15 am ET

That Senate campaign of Obama's is in charge of NATO, the European countries. Not Afghanistan. And Senate hearings are meant to conduct investigations. What about NATO needed to be investigated? Nothing. That's why there weren't any hearings. Because none were needed. If you and your spouse didn't go to marriage counseling last month, is it because you're not committed to your marriage? No, it's because you didn't NEED counseling. That's exactly what happened here. If there was a reason why there needed to be a hearing, wouldn't we have heard about it well before the day before the election?

Clinton's top strategist last week said Clinton was going to throw the "kitchen sink" at Obama in an attempt to take him down. Please don't believe these last-minute lies.

jj   March 3rd, 2008 11:15 am ET

What is wrong with that ad?? All it does is ask you to actually THINK. It does not cut anyone. Not Obama nor McCain. It just says THINK. I hope we have someone with experience next time. Enough of the monarchy.

andrew jones   March 3rd, 2008 11:15 am ET

Billary said that she was too busy to release her tax return...because she was busy campaigning.

Nice try there; but it's not going to work! SHAME ON YOU BILLARY!

GO OBAMA!!!

Long-term Memory   March 3rd, 2008 11:15 am ET

Obama's refusal to hold any meeting on this issue in the last 13 months is indefensible. His self-professed early opposition to the Iraq war is undercut by his voting in line with Hillary Clinton and the other 28 Democratic senators who voted to authorize Bush to use force once he actually got to Washington. (He should probably stop referring to the fact that Jay Rockefeller actually read the information and then decided to vote for the Iraq Resolution, which actually supports Hillary Clinton's position not Barack Obama's.) His self-professed concern that the war in Iraq distracted us from the war in Afghanistan is undercut by his inability to use his position as chairman to hold meetings that would have directly addressed this problem all because he was campaigning for president.

Donald   March 3rd, 2008 11:15 am ET

"just as the Presidential campaign was starting" - sounds like an excuse to me. Was everyone on his staff working on the presidential campaign. Couldn't one of his staff members have been working on the business they were getting paid to do?

Yinka Lawal   March 3rd, 2008 11:15 am ET

Yes the ad might be right, but remember that Obama is campaigning to bring our troops home, to change the mind set of people all over the world for the war you vote for, and also he is busy for helping people in Ohio to get a job. So please Hillary shut up.

Yinka Lawal

clarity   March 3rd, 2008 11:15 am ET

Spot on Girl – it's about time you just cut through the crap, and tell it like it is!

Obama would be, a do nothing president, as illutrated by his record.
That guy is all talk and no walk.

He said he would have voted against the war if he had the chance, yet when he had the chance to lead (for a whole year) America against the war on terror, he chose to do NOTHING!

America doesn't need an AWOL president!

Barry   March 3rd, 2008 11:14 am ET

Yes America at 3am if the phone rings, Hillary will shed some tears for world peace.

Obama all the way...   March 3rd, 2008 11:14 am ET

This is getting ridiulous...and desparate!!!

I hope Obama doesn't respond. Let her own negativity stand for itself!

I guess he could release an add about her not disclosing her tax returns!!! I hope he doesn't but...HILLARY...YOU LYING SACK OF S***!!! WHERE ARE YOUR TAX RETURNS???? IT MUST TAKE A LONG TIME TO DOCTOR UP THE ORIGINALS IN ORDER TO RELEASE ANOTHER SET THAT COVERS UP ALL YOUR LOBBYIST DEALINGS!!!!!

David, Gilbert Arizona   March 3rd, 2008 11:13 am ET

So Hillary will never be "too busy" to do her job? Then why did she miss 18 out of 21 Senate votes? Was it that she was too busy campaigning for President?

Joel   March 3rd, 2008 11:13 am ET

you know its pretty lame – on both sides of the campaign – when people just attack the other candidate instead of discussing their own merits and letting people decide for themselves. If all you have to add is sillyness and mean spirited attacks about the candidates you are no better than they are. No wonder our party is in shambles.

Dave Froyalde/Washington   March 3rd, 2008 11:13 am ET

Way to go Hillary. Senator Obamas' failure to do his job to hold even one hearing to deal with the growing problem in Afghanistan is inexcusable. The excuse he gave during the debate that he is busy running for president is not an excuse. As chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations subcomittee, that was his opportunity to probe and show his concern for the growing problems in Afghanistan. This is the true Senator Obama folks. I hope all the democratic party voters especially in Ohio and Texas think clearly when they cast their votes tomorrow.

sigh   March 3rd, 2008 11:13 am ET

But, oooops, Hillary was too busy to vote no to telecom immunity.

john   March 3rd, 2008 11:13 am ET

Desperate times call for desperate Adverts. Hillary has been too busy to vote on the Dodds amendment too busy to do her tax returns too busy to release the whitehouse papers too busy to attend the Senate period. and too busy to research her lying advert.

OBAMA08

ME   March 3rd, 2008 11:13 am ET

Why are all the Obama fanatics so eagerly asking Hillary to quit? Are they starting to get wind of the issues coming up he will have to face? Are they scared that his WEAKNESS and BAD JUDGEMENT and BAD DECISIONS and BAD CONNECTIONS are coming out in the open?

Can't wait til March 5th :)
GO HILLARY!!

andrew jones   March 3rd, 2008 11:13 am ET

Obama said it right: Billary is desperate!

GO AWAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY!

VOTE OBAMA!!

Frank   March 3rd, 2008 11:13 am ET

"Smear and Fear" a la Clinton .. .what a scum.

Does she think the people who support Obama today would ever support HER in November ? I did my homework, I know about the issues and I know when she shoots crap to distort the truth.

The American People are not as stupid as she needs us to be.

Dem123   March 3rd, 2008 11:13 am ET

Another shining of the difference between rhetoric and reality.POLITICAL OPPORTUNISM and Obama campaign are true friends.

Nancy   March 3rd, 2008 11:13 am ET

To: Was a Hillary supporter and your comment:
"Kitchen sink. More venom. Divisive. She is so NOT presidential. Hillary doesn't have any foreign policy experience. Bill does! I've jumped ship"

How sad that you choose to interpret real critisicm with "venom". One thing your correct about, Clinton should not have to be pointing these issue out.....The Media should have done it long ago. Your position is suicidal as sooner or later the facts will come out. Allowing the republicans to lead the charge is simply foolish and iresponcible.

Adam   March 3rd, 2008 11:12 am ET

Right on Hillary!
the voters have a right to know his experience (or lack there of)

The people who want you to drop out are the ones who are afraid that you will expose the truth about Obama.

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

Betty, PA   March 3rd, 2008 11:12 am ET

If Obama really wants change, why does not he begin with what he can do? Maybe he just wants to be president to fulfill his own ambition.

Tim, Milwaukee   March 3rd, 2008 11:12 am ET

Wait a minute... Cant Obama handle more than a task at a time? I can understand that campaining is a full time job, but ignoring National security is not cool... If Obama is the president we can have lot of Rock Concerts for the college kids for sure...

Marie   March 3rd, 2008 11:12 am ET

She talks about cleaning. Means an other dynastie will clean an other dynastie, by the same dynastie.two decades ago .........Ouf..........Hard to believe. I am sure she will have to clean her husband mess with canadian mining scandal before she start to clean the previous administration....I think that it's too much for her. Before you start the cleaning the first thing to do it's to pull out your tax return... As you know that will be a good start....

Sarah L, Fayetteville, AR   March 3rd, 2008 11:12 am ET

I'm so tired of all this. I hope we can get this nonsense overwith quickly. No one is in Washington doing their job. We have two good candidates. However, we desparately need to move on toward the general election. Who really wants the primary to continue for another few months?

Iowan for CLINTON   March 3rd, 2008 11:11 am ET

AT LEAST THE CLINTON CAMP IS COMING UP WITH ***MULTIPLE*** REASONS TO SECOND-GUESS OBUMMER INSTEAD OF SOUNDING LIKE A BROKEN RECORD (Iraq vote)!

HILLARY CLINTON IS THE PRESIDENT WE CAN DEPEND ON!!!!

Kings   March 3rd, 2008 11:11 am ET

This is why I will NEVER vote for hillary.

Obama08

Kyle   March 3rd, 2008 11:11 am ET

whats wrong with you guys ? does anyone of you share your tax returns with your neighbors ? why expect the same from Hillary.

Obama may have given his tax returns but he hasnt still provided a concrete answer for his illegal land dealings.

Dr. Feelgood (In MA)   March 3rd, 2008 11:11 am ET

Mr. C, I'll tell you exactly who would nominate him for chairmanship... the party that knew he would be running for President. That's who. This is really pathetic and indicative of what we could expect from an Obama Administration. He would be a lame duck President on day one.

Mary   March 3rd, 2008 11:10 am ET

Yes Hillary by all means drop out. You are offending the Obama supporters by telling the truth !!...and we all know that isn't allowed.

Many   March 3rd, 2008 11:10 am ET

.
Obama is so desperate to divert attention from his limited national security experience that he’s not just misleading voters about Sen. Clinton, he’s also misleading voters about his own supporters. That is not change you can believe in. -Phil Singer

Thomas   March 3rd, 2008 11:09 am ET

Hillary must have already had her president then since she is herself wealthy and well-connected.

Matt   March 3rd, 2008 11:09 am ET

Obama is using the committee in his stump speeches as "proof" of his ability to handle foreign affairs.

Washington as usual.

M. Martin   March 3rd, 2008 11:08 am ET

Please Hillary think of the party for ones, stop helping the republicans.
By the way did you read the intelligence report on Iraq prior to your vote?

Mike   March 3rd, 2008 11:08 am ET

MY POINT IS OBAMA SHOULD REALIZED THAT THIS IS A VERY IMPORTANT MATTER AS WHAT HE SAID ALSO DURING HIS SPEECH. IF YOU THINK YOU DON'T HAVE TIME BECAUSE YOU NEED TO CAMPAIGN FOR ANOTHER VERY IMPORTANT JOB – PLEASE DON'T TAKE A CHAIRMANSHIP JOB, LETS OTHERS SENATORS HANDLE IS BACAUSE IT IS ABOUT OUR NATION SAFETY.

BECAUSE OF YOUR JUDGMENT TO ACCEPT THE CHAIRMANSHIP POSITION LOOK WHAT HAPPEN IN AFGHANISTAN NOW ALQUIDA BECOME STRONGER – LOOK WHAT NATO OFFICIAL SAID LAST WEEK IN TV, THEY NEED MORE TROOP

Thomas   March 3rd, 2008 11:07 am ET

The hail mary... too bad there's no one there to receive it. Once again, Clinton goes negative with a Republican talking point. Good job Clinton. If you can't win it, you're going to lose it for the other guy so you can have a shot in 2012.

Elaine in Atlanta   March 3rd, 2008 11:07 am ET

Good god that woman is desperate!

sjk in denver   March 3rd, 2008 11:07 am ET

Hillary has never been too busy to defend our national security? Well, she was clearly too busy to think logically about authorizing the Iraq war. And, she is clearly too busy now to get her tax information together and get us her documents related to her time as the First lady in a timely fashion. Those things are easy, it is far more difficult to coordinate many people for committee meetings. People ought not to throw stones about time and being "too busy."

Joe   March 3rd, 2008 11:07 am ET

See, I think this is why Senator Clinton's campaign is failing. She obviously has the experience to do the job, she just fails to see that Americans are tired of the politics of destruction. Since her our messages and campaign has failed to attract enough support, she is reverting to the old tired ways of negative campaigning.

Enough is enough.

It is time for a President who can bring this country together - not one who is only interested in scoring political points even if that means tearing the country apart.

To borrow the Senator's own words.... SHAME ON YOU HILLARY CLINTON!!!!!!

Kevin   March 3rd, 2008 11:06 am ET

Obama knows that ANY oversight committee under the Bush administration is, essentially, on permanent vacation. To oversee Bush policy is pointless when the man won't listen to those who disagree with him. Obama urges people to disagree. He will listen and give purpose to oversight committees.

Cheap shot by Clinton when she KNOWS the committee is virtually meaningless.

I Love Barack   March 3rd, 2008 11:06 am ET

Hillary, why don't you talk about YOUYRSELF? Tell us what you did since you began runnig for president.

We are waiting to hear it.

anita   March 3rd, 2008 11:06 am ET

Finally, Obama was given a position of responsibility with the authority to actually do something other than cop to his junior status in the senate as the reason he hasn't been able to push through any legislation.
What has he done in this position? Run for president.
If we're going to have a senator as a president, then it had better be a "Work Horse" rather than a "Show Horse".
It's either Clinton or McCain.

Veronica   March 3rd, 2008 11:06 am ET

Yeah, but Hillary's too busy to release her tax returns and have transparency in the government. She's too busy to sleep but NOT too busy to go on SNL? She's a liar and is as cunning as they come. AT LEAST Obama admitted that he didn't have time to give meetings because he was on the campaign trail. I'd rather have an honest President that can admit to mistakes, than a president that will blatantly lie to the american people.

Holly Evans   March 3rd, 2008 11:05 am ET

desperate hillary. It's shame. get out with respect and grace.
God bless America

darleneintexas   March 3rd, 2008 11:05 am ET

This is why she will loose Texas!

FFD   March 3rd, 2008 11:05 am ET

With her increasing negativity, how is Senator Clinton going to legitimately put her support behind Obama in any convincing way after she bows out of the race and is asked to "unite the party"?

Ken, Austin TX   March 3rd, 2008 11:05 am ET

Ummmm, hello? At the Ohio debate, didn't Hillary CLEARLY state that the reason she hadn't provided her tax returns because she had been "too busy running for president?" Way to set double standards Hillary. That's why I'm voting for Obama.

United We Stand   March 3rd, 2008 11:04 am ET

I don't understand why Clinton supporters can't just own up to their lack of depth. They only say Obama is all talks but the truth is he has more legislative experience than Hillary.
Furthermore, how can Hillary claim to have any good judgement when she DID NOT READ the NATIONAL INTELLIGENCE estimate on IRAQ before VOTING to KILL THOUSANDS of our service men and several more Iraqis.
We're in trouble if she gets close to the white house ever again.

Women 4 Obama   March 3rd, 2008 11:04 am ET

Funny,

1) Hillary was too busy to read the Iraq reports before she blindly authorized Bush to invade Iraq.

2) Hillary say she's for the working family, but yet she:
i) was a acounsel/advisor for WALMART
ii) takes money from big corporations and lobbyists
iii) takes money from big time Chinese business men and lobbyists (made in CHINA)
iv) has supported and tauted how great NAFTA is

3) Hillary was a Chicago Cubs fan all her life before she decided New York was the right place to start her Presidential campaign and jumped shipped to rout for the Yankees

So, clearly these ADS are all false. "Shame on you!"

Mr. C.   March 3rd, 2008 11:04 am ET

This woman is getting too desperate. this is old news and If OBAMA is the chairman don't you think that makes him more of an acheiver because i dont know what committee who would nominate a nuisance for chairman. Clinton needs to drop out. we do not need any person who goes through menopause in the white house. What if that phone rings at 3AM and clinton is going through one of those times, how in the world can she respond. Obama has proven himself several times without numbers and is still loyal to the american people. Clinton you have thrown millions of attacks on OBAMA and you are still losing. what does this tell you(that you are not a leader). its time to drop out and go the the bar for some more drinks. Get sober or something.

Joan   March 3rd, 2008 11:03 am ET

Clinton drop out now!!!

For the good of the party, end this charade.

You can't win. It's a mathematical impossibility.

Hillary= Huckabee?

DROP OUT NOW

DO THE RIGHT THING!!!

Joe   March 3rd, 2008 11:03 am ET

Hillary, you are absolutely correct. You put your focus on issues, Obama puts his focus on rallies and speeches.
Obama fans (I called fans instead of supporters since it is more like entertainment) may argue that Hillary has not revealed her tax return. I think the tax return is her personal and never will be as important as her job as a senator. Just in last week, I saw her speak at the State of Black Union, Foreign Policy Forum, and at an oficer's funeral. She is doing her job while running the campaign.

mep   March 3rd, 2008 11:03 am ET

Go Hillary!...A good ad exposing Obama's priorities or lack thereof.

Charlotte   March 3rd, 2008 11:02 am ET

Obama is not the right person to be President. His claim to fame, "I was against the war." Oh wait, I wasn't sure when I was supporting Kerry. I think Al Qaeda in Afghanastan was the real threat, why I did not hold any meetings while chairing that committee, well I have been too busy campaigning for President for the past two years. The most important thing for me, is to be President. I will change the way Washington works. Every committee will be in name only. I will eliminate the Sec. of State position and meet with all foreign leaders, friends and foes. I will meet with the Canadians and tell them not to pay attention to what I say in public about NAFTA it was for votes in Ohio and Texas. Change you can count on???????

Jenny MA   March 3rd, 2008 11:01 am ET

haha! Hillary! Nice shot!

You should do this early before now. OBAMA does not deserve your respect! Do not be so polite to him, if you are too nice to him, he will become crazy!

Debra   March 3rd, 2008 11:00 am ET

Hillary, is pretty desperate..the bottom line ..as ususual ..she continues to use negativity to get her point across..this is why so many Americans are selecting Obama as the next President of this country. We ae tired of the attacks!

Be strong Hillary and let it go!

safari   March 3rd, 2008 11:00 am ET

Call me what you want, but I don't like Obama nor do I like Clinton. And I sure in hell, don't like McCain or Huckabee. I wish they did have a "none of the above" block in the ballots.

mjc   March 3rd, 2008 10:59 am ET

his so called "judgment" is based on nothing. his record is thin and his past is shady and you'll all find this out IF he is the nominee... and if that happens say hello to president mccain!

hillary clinton 08!!!!!!!!

Jenny, Rio Vista, CA   March 3rd, 2008 10:58 am ET

Shame on you, Hilary Clinton. You are a liar and cannot be trusted. The subcommittee that barack has become chairman of, has nothing to do with afghanistan and you know it. That is the committee run by John Kerry.

And if you are never to be busy Hilary Clinton, why didn't you vote on Chris Dodd's amendment to NOT give immunity to telecom companies. You were just down the road in Virginia. I guess you don't really care about our civil liberties.

b. jones tulsa,ok.   March 3rd, 2008 10:58 am ET

.......and hillary has been too busy to turn over her income taxes and offical papers from her time in the white house

Was a Hillary supporter   March 3rd, 2008 10:57 am ET

Kitchen sink. More venom. Divisive. She is so NOT presidential. Hillary doesn't have any foreign policy experience. Bill does! I've jumped ship.

Charlotte   March 3rd, 2008 10:57 am ET

Obama, change you can count on my A–, He tells the people one thing then tells the Canadians another. Back room meeting with them, telling them his talk was just talk. Well, I've been saying he is all talk form the beginning

Eli   March 3rd, 2008 10:57 am ET

ITS ALL TRUE, so I hope CNN and Obama dont start saying how negative she is. If you will vote with your head and not your heart you will know it is HILLARY08. Hillary will stay in this race until the convention, this is what her supporters want.

Trina   March 3rd, 2008 10:55 am ET

Now see ... this is the kind of ...

Obama is campaigning. Hillary is campaigning. McCain is campaigning. No one is in Washington working. I can't believe she ran this ad!

I live in New Mexico. When Gov Richardson was campaigning, we never saw the man. He was absent on a lot of things. All politicians are "absent" from the process when they campaign.

Obama ... please do NOT respond. Let it go.

Obama 08!
