Comments on: Clinton goes after Obama's chairmanship in new 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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!

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."

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.

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.

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~

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."

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!!!!

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?

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.

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.

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!

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
