Should obama be the chosen democratic nominee then I feel very sorry for the USA as he has no idea about military knowledge or intelligence or strategy and should the might of China – Russia or any other powerful country decide to attack the USA then I for one would not like obama to be that person who would have to answer the red line in the white house @3 am on that particular morning -with all due respect I don't see him as a "saviour" @ all - he will vanish like all the cults before him....

This is typical. Obama is unable to go head to head with Hillary Clinton on the issues. The debates proved that. Now he has to try and nit pick her foreign policy experience. Does he have any?

Northern Ireland is my home. I appreciate what Hillary did there, bringing groups together, as well as her "behind closed door" conversations. Soon the documents that prove her work will be available then Obama will have to look for some other non-existant flaw.

Meanwhile, I have to ask why his supporters cannot point to anything he has done in the arena of foreign policy? Tell you something?

Spoken by an Obama supporter.

"It's not negitive if it's true."

This is exactly the type of hypocracy that surrounds the Obama camp. The Clintons' have said plenty of TRUE comments about Obama that were negitive, although somehow I don't remember you people touting that lovely sentiment.

Obama is sinking right into a well of hubris and his supporters are cheering him right along.

...a story that's 2 days old. CNN – "fair and balanced" or "biased and lazy"?

And what is Hussein-Obama's foreign policy experience? Cowtowing to PLO/Hamas supporters, insisting on a defeatist military policy, disarming the US in the most dangerous time in our nation's history.... What a vast amount of experience. Will Hussein-Obama destroy our nation, YES HE WILL!

I don't understand the logic? Even if 100% of blacks voted for Obama if 0% of whites didn’t' then he still would not be voted in! People keep focusing on how many black people are voting for Obama . . . How many white woman are voting for Hillary? How many white men will vote for McCain? Even if people are voting just based on race, what is wrong with that? I don’t' understand how that is racist. You’re not voting against someone due to their race, you’re voting for someone due to theirs. If I said "I won't vote for any white woman"! . . . That is racist. If I say "I am proud to support a strong African American Candidate", how is that racist? Isn’t that showing my pride in the candidate? For 42 consecutive Presidents we have had one gender, one race. There is nothing wrong with being proud of your race, culture, religion, etc. Some people just cannot stand the fact that a black man might be President. Doesn't that say more about you than it does us?

Clinton has been all about speechs as much as she claims Obama is. The difference is she claims "Experience" in her speechs and for some reason people buy it.

If working in the IL Senate is not experience, then being the wife of the President is not even close. If she has so much experience and is so proud of it, why does she not release the papers of her time as first lady??

She is trying to deceive Americans by claiming one thing and then hiding all evidnce of it.

Maybe Sinbad can answer for her, he was there...I mean pop icons like musicians and comedians that travelled to Kosovo to entertain with HRC should be taken seriously. You can't count out this sort of Global Foreign Experience...what a joke!

Good Ol' Hood Winking Hillary!

Hey, I don't understand why Obama has an problem with counting Hillary's trip to Kosovo with Sinbad and Sheryl Crow as foreign policy experience - wait a second, of course I do!

As for the idea that a basketball coach's wife could coach basketball simply because she has been "near" the game by virtue of marriage, I guess that is why Indiana hired Bobby Knight's wife to replace him? Wait - that didn't happen? Well, what about all the success John Wooden's wife had at UCLA. No? Remember that time Coach K's wife took over for him at Duke that year he had to leave the team mid-year because of serious back problems? Not registering? Of course not. Because this suggestion is ridiculous, just like Sen. Clinton's claim that Bill's Presidency qualifies HER to be Commander in Chief. She didn't even have security clearance during his presidency, for crying out loud!

Billary is absolutely prepared to be commander in chief. She has participated in numerous meetings on the Armed Services Committee. I heard that once she held quorum call. WOW! I want her talking with Putin!

BTW, did you know that Obama didn't hold a single meeting on a sub-committee for Western Europe on the Senate Foreign Relations Committee. Hello, western Europe has many NATO allies, NATO is helping in Afghanistan, therefore that sub-committee meeting is directly relevant to the war there – more so than the sub-committee on Afghanistan itself!

Billary 08 – she held quorum call!

UGH! I wanted to comment on Ferraro's statement but I was so pissed I couldn't type quick enough and the comments were closed.

What I was trying to say is:

To Harvery @ 1055am and everybody else who thinks Obama is winning the black votes because he is black...

I have to tell you that when Hillary was in Mississippi at one of her rallies giving her speech, she had two unidentified (to my knowledge) black men standing behind her, one on the left and one on the right and no one else around her but them. They were not secret service men. I watched them clap after everything she said. So please tell me who is using the "race card"?? I wonder how much they were paid...

As a black women I found it very insulting that she thinks black people are so ignorant that we will fall for anything. This is exactly why I will not be voting for her.

Please if anyone witnessed this please post your comments...

Blackout the Democratic Vote 2008!!!!

The dirty Dems. (who are Hillary Supporters) are going to do everything in their power to see that Obama will not get the nomination. They will cheat and steal the nomination.

An as far as experience...Hmm Bush didnt have experience but yet he had ADVISORS who made decisions for him. You think a man who couldnt get out a room on national T.V made decisons.....

What kills me is that yeah alot of Black people are voting for Obama, but they make of such a small percentage of people that vote compare to the rest of the races. Its White people who are voting for Obama an it is White people who will elect him....NOT BLACK PEOPLE....

As an outsider looking in, it is getting increasingly frustrating watching the democratic race. To be honest i have nothing against eiter Clinton or Obama. But it seems to me to be simple, At this current time in the world where we have a war in iraq, i truely believe experiance is the key to solving the problem, which means Hillary is the most suited candidate. If we wern't in the mess we are in now i would gladly say we need someone as charismatic as Obama, but sadly nice people also get stepped on easily, which worries me if he where to be elected.

Senator Clinton does have more experience, much more.
Actually, Senator Obama has no experience and we have know that from the start. Here he goes again, "I know you are, but what am I?"
This guy is such a baby. Amazing that we are even considering him for the most important job on Earth!

I WANT TO SEE MORE OF THE ANGRY LOOKS SHE HAS ON THE CAMPAIGN TRAIL. WHY IS THE MEDIA IGNORING HER THEATRICAL MOCKERY OF HOPE? THAT IS SO DISGRACEFULL MY CHILDREN AND THEIR FRIENDS HAVE GIVEN IT A LIFE OF ITS OWN.

IF YOU ASK THEM, SAY, TO BRING YOU WATER, AND THEY DON'T WANT, THEY SIMPLY GO THEATRICAL AND "THE ANGELS WILL FALL FROM THE SKY AND BRING WATER BECAUSE YOU WISH IT" . I'VE GOT TO TELL YOU : IT DRIVES ME CRAZY. BUT I CAN'T HELP LAUGHING. MY HUSBAND HAS NOW JOINED IN: HE WILL PULL HIS MOST WRINKLED FACE TO DO THAT.

Of course she's thin on foreign policy experience... she was First Lady, not Secretary of State. Planning luncheons for foreign dignitaries does not make you a diplomat.

The only 3 a.m. phone call Hillary will be getting after November is from the police asking her if she knows where her husband is.

Let the world pray that Obama doesnt win!!!!!!

Experience vs Accomplishments – If you've been around the world and accomplished nothing, what good is your experience? What about experience on the home front? Long before Hilary was vainly trying to change the world, Obama was working at home, making a real difference in the world. Although his record may not include failing to bring peace to Northern Ireland, his does include changing the standard of living for residents of Chicago! I would much rather elect someone who can acomplish something, no matter how "small" compared to someone who fails to accomplish anything!

My goodness, this man has little or no foriegn experience. Chairman of an important sub-committee involving NATO and to date has not held a single hearing on Afganistan, where NATO is understaffed and more troops are needed and we just sent in an additional 3,000 of our best. What in hell has he been doing besides campaigning for the Democratic nomination, that is what he has been doing. He made a speech against the war prior to being elected to the U.S.Senate, then he has voted for funding the war ever since .

Hmmm... if eight years in the Whitehouse is Hilary's "experience", then shouldn't she be subject to term limits?

Does Obama's foreign experience come from his Syrian friend? We know he uses everybody elses speeches and ideas, and we know he has long ties with Rezko, a syrian arab who was probably against the war because he wanted the minority sunnis to stay in power.That's the thing, once you get caught using everybody elses ideas it makes everthing else you say questionable. Rezko has ties with Nadhmi Auchi, the man who was in charge of the oil revenues for Sadam Hussein. Rezko has been arrested involving a 3.5 million dollar loan recieved by Auchi.

America claimed to be the no 1 in the world,If that´s true,I have to remind the Americans that a woman being the No 1 in the world is an error in a collossal part.
My advice is let her (Hillary) plead for the no 2 position if only Obama,The man with the Quality,ability,charisma,and the spirit of leadership could consider her.Obama is the only man who can give the right judgement and will be able to reform American and to bring the world back to Peace.

Obama wants to invade Pakistan to get Bin Laden and he wants to meet with the President of Iran. Need I say more?

no matter what hillary's accomplishments are or aren't, obama's are MUCH less.

The question everyone should be asking, besides the HUGE holes is Hallary's foreign policy experience claims is:

HOW MUCH FOREIGN POLICY EXPERIENCE DID RONALD REAGAN OR BILL CLINTON HAVE WHEN THEY WERE NOMINATED???

If Hillary is trying to base her foreign policy experience off of her time as First Lady, bringing up her "role" in peace in Ireland and supporting women's rights in China, then she needs to also take responsibility for the shortfalls of her husband's administration. Where was she in dealing with the problems in Mogadishu??? Where was she when genocide was taking place in Rwanda??? Even her husband has apologized for the negligence his administration had in regards to Rwanda – is Hillary willing to accept responsibility for that and admit she made a mistake? You can't just take the positives and forget the negatives!

Our system of choosing presidential candidates, is suppose to allow the people to select the person the majority of the people want to see run for the presidency.

Proportional delegate selection and omitting major states like Florida and Michigan over a rules infraction has created a venomous atmosphere in the Democratic Party.

The divisions may be so deep many Democratic voters might not vote in the general election if their candidate does not win. In this case no matter if it is Obama or Hillary the Democrats loses. After 8 years of Bush who would have ever thought that could happen.

A year ago the Democrats could have run Donald Duck and won

Do you Obama Supporters really think he is ready to handle foreign policy. At least Hillary has traveled extensively in foreign countries, she knows the people she would be dealing with.

I am so sick of the blind following that Obama has....nobody asks him any important questions. They just say YES WE CAN.

YES WE CAN, get our country in a worst position it is now.

I for one don't think Obama would take Michigan.....everyone I talk to in Western Michigan would never vote for him. They will just sit this election out or vote McCain. It will be a vote against a person rather than for a person. SAD ISN'T IT.

IT'S A VERY SCARY ELECTION.

where is proof obama has experience on foreign affairs?lol he aint lying about having any unlike hillary clinton people are now starting to ask questions about her so called experience and she cant answer (nice attack but with facts) 0bama08

Hillary's campaign is based so much on "stretches" of the truth and imagination. If you dig into her real experience, she has perhaps a speck more than Obama. But he has more real world experience than she ever will have. Also his judgement is definitely more superior than hers. Hillary has lived so many of the past years in denial of the truth that it is now hard for her to differentiate the two. Just as Bill could look right in the camera and lie so blatantly, she has also learned the art of doing so. It's time to see that "the emperor has no clothes!".

Gotta love the anger and vitriol of the Clintonistas on here! They can't refute facts, or acknowledge that their biggest "reason" for supporting Hillary is a sham - so they take a cue from the campaign and just make flailing, ad-hominem attacks!

Seriously, people... if "experience" were really the issue here, you'd either be backing McCain, or have been supporting Dodd, Richardson, or Biden (or even Kucinich!) in the Democratic Primary.

In TWO years Obama has gotten more bills (and more substantive bills) than Hillary has in SEVEN.

How about just coming clean and admitting that you're supporting her because she's a woman, or because she's married to bill, or because you just "have a feeling." All the reasons you put forth just aren't holding water. Yet Obama supporters are the alleged kool-aid drinkers?

Hillary has more foreign policy experence Obama has Zero,Zip,Nada. He can't do the job he has now and hold hearings on Afghanistan.

Hillary Clinton believes that we're all a bunch of fools – she has no respect for the intelligence of her supporters or the American people. This Orwellian/Rovian method of constant repetition until the lie becomes the truth won't work this time. Her claim to 35 years of experience is a lie.

Great story. thanks for posting.

Just what i thought:

"It’s tough to see how Senator Obama can tout his commitment to the military when he couldn’t be bothered to hold a single policy hearing on Afghanistan. Considering that Senator Obama’s record is just words, it’s no wonder that voters are having doubts about his readiness to be commander-in-chief."

he voted present for the war (already then he had no opinion) and even so he was not trying to understand the situation and try to make it better, he just didnt care. he probably would be a great community activist, but thats it.

Hillary 08

PS: about the article: why do you guys call her a racist, i think it is absolutely true. i live in SC and i talked to people. sorry guys, but thats the way America is.

If the DNC gives this primary election to Hillary – by that I mean going along with this ridiculous revote in Florida & Michigan – then I encourage all Obama supporters to BOYCOTT the national election. Let McCain win. If she has to cheat to beat – McCain deserves to be victorious. How can you change the rules in the middle of the game? If the rules are that the states were stripped of its delegates at the beginning – how can you reverse that now and revote? That is saying that the rules were never broken – and hey never mind about that!

Hillary didn't have a clue what was going on the white house. Otherwise, Lewinsky wouldn't have been playing hide the cigar in the oval office.

CLINTON NOW REVEALS TO THE WORLD THAT SHE IS A SEXIST AND A RACIST.

WHY WOULD ANY WOMAN WANT TO VOTE FOR ANY SUCH PERSON WHO IS OBVIOUSLY USING ALL THE FEMALE TRICKS IN THE BOOK PLUS ALL THE RACIST TRICKS TO GET WHAT SHE WANTS?

WHY IS THE MEDIA FALLING FOR THIS?
WHY HAS THE MEDIA SHUT THE OBAMA OUT OF THE LIME LIGHT?
WHY HAVE WE NOT HEARD FROM OBAMA'S SISTER WHEN WE CAN HEAR FROM CHELSEA ALL DAY LONG?
WHY IS THE MEDIA NOT PICKING ON HER THEATRICAL MOCK OF HOPE? IF THIS WAS HOWARD DEAN, THE MEDIA WOULD BE ALL OVER THE WORLD WITH IT.

None of these candidates have ever sat in the seat of the President, now have they? So none of them have the experience until they get there, now do they? As for the phone ad, it doesn't even make sense. So get off of it, Cnn. Voters must make a choice about the solutions, universal health care that is mandated by hillary, universal health care that is by choice by Obama, or leave things as they are, high premiums that are unaffordable as mccain has indicated. Who is best prepared to handle our econmy. McCain who has no knowledge about economy, Hillary who spent millions of our tax payor dollars behind closed doors as first lady on a health care plan that was destined to fail from the start, or Obama who has shown he can run a great campaign and manage the money?

As far as foreign policy goes, we need someone that can talk with world leaders and still be tough. Hillary's way would be no talks unless we agree, Mccains would be no talks at all, and obama has been chastised for saying he would talk with leaders even if they don't agree on every issue.

These are the issues you should be concerned about, not all this garbage about a black man (bi-racial) by the way, listening to Hillary distorting the issues and hiding behind her husband and trying to run on his name. or mcCain who is arm in arm with Bush. Now pick your preference.

Everyone that comes out with negative remarks be it senators or media should be shut off. Their remarks are just that, their ideas about who they want and are using fear tactics on the American people again. Hillary talks about Barack being all speeches but she has the solutions, well what are they? her universal health care has never been put to the people to see if they really want it, she is the decider i guess and she will mandate it. Believe me she will mandate a lot more in our lives. Get off of it people and vote for whomever you want but stop the petty mud slinging and quit listening to the news.

cnn thrives on this controversy and are the true hate-mongers. If they were true journalists, we would not be fighting with each other. But then again, from what I've been reading, the Obama supporters, who pretend to be so educated and the African American population who just want to be followers, are not truly picking a candidate. Remember, some people are just one hit wonders and Obama seems to fit the bill.

Kinda reminds me of those commercials for that hotel chain...

"I'm not commander-in-chief but I'm married to someone who was" - and that makes her qualified? She travels around the world with her husband and all of a sudden she knows how to be commander-in-chief? What a joke she is.

I'd be more impressed with her ability to make difficult, decisive, life-altering decisions in incredibly stressful situations if she were able to say, "I was married to a philandering serial adulterer and then I divorced him."

If she's touting her husband's experience as her own, can we surmise that she too had/will have an extramarital affair in the Oval Office?

SEE ALL YOU OBAMA NUTS HE GETTING IN THE SADDLE OF OLD MUD SLINGERS HE IS FALLING IN THE HORSE DODO YOU CAN TELL BECAUSE HIS WORDS SMELL

TO DAVID, HELSINKI:

Hillary was a top adviser to her husband; this is well known. Living in the White House for 8 years gives one "access," dont you think?!

TO JERRY, PGH:

Hillary Uncensored is sponsored by the right-wing. Enuf said?

Hillary still has more exposure to foreign policy than Obama, that's a fact.

When will Obama convene a meeting of his Afghanistan Committee?!
Dontcha think that's a little bit important?!?!?!

Hillary is tearing this party apart. They don't care. She has no more foreign party experience as anyone Obama.
Obama 08.

As he would say "that's just silly", "that's nonsense" on this article.

We want solutions that HILLARY has not "words"

I loved the "3am" ad-–

I wonder how important this experience really is. Is Presidential policy something you can really pick up anywhere else accept on the job? Perhaps the most important qualification is to have a good general and overall view and to be able to surround yourself with people who specialize in all the different areas and then advise you. Isn't that really a presidents job. To find the best and most experienced group of people and inspire them to work as a team to rebuild America. That is the best qualification. All these debates where they ask the candidate how they are going to do something seem fruitless to me other than to give us a general idea as to what direction they are going in. Because a smart wise leader is going to move into office and surround themselves with experts in each field who can help him/or her understand a situation intimately and then make a good decision.

Why does CNN keep stating Clinton won Texas? Obama got more delegates from Texas. She was supposed to win by a big margin, but lost instead. How can you keep saying she won? I'm questioning professionalism in journalism here!

It doesn't matter who has foreign policy experience. When compared with McCain, they both will look small and pathetic.

it seems that none other than george mitchell himself told katie couric that hillarys account about northern ireland is accurate,so i guess he is lying also if the obamaites are correct.Also over 30 generals and admirals ,including two former chairman f the joint cheifs ,most of them especially army combat vets have publically endorsed her,Obamas cheif military endorser is LT Gen Joe ballard who is a engineer with no combat experiance. i for one will take the endorsements of shelton,eaton,tacuba and shevinalzi over ballard any day as thease americans opted for early retirement rather than to continue to support bush and rummys policy in iraq.

Obama might have experience but Hillary has more KNOWLEDGE!! about the economy and national security. She is the only senator in NY state history to be on the armed services committee. Everyone on that committee knows she has done a spectacular job! She knows about education and will lead us out of the recession. Obama will not!

Selecting the menu for a Whitehouse dinner for foreign dignitaries is not foreign policy experience, Hillary. Being flown on Air Force one to watch local children perform skits for you is not managing foreign policy experience. it's tourism. I find it dumbfounding to hear you say you helped bring peace to Northern Ireland and the Balkans. That's only true if buying postcards to send Chelsea counts as foreign policy experience. If that's the case, please make me your Secretary of State. I have as much experience as you do. You must have been in the same room with Bill, when he wasn't inhaling, and when Al Gore invented the internet.

And in regard to that "Who will answer the 3:00AM call" ad? As I recall, the phone was on Bill's side of the bed.

If Obama does not win, I will stay home and not vote. Hilary's negative campaigning (this is suicidal in-fighting, and therefore not the same in my mind as a Republican-led attack) has completely turned me off. I believe that many Obama supporters will do the same. It is sad, but true. She needs to stop this "win-at-any-cost" mentality and/or Richardson, Edwards, Gore need to step in and get behind the delegate who, playing by the rules as the Democratic party decided, leads in delegates, states, and the popular vote.

A New York Latino proudly for Obama.

Obama couldnt even go to New Orleans to be with his own race ,without making excuses about leaving his campaign.He like their votes,but when it came timeto go , the only one that did was HRC.She was behind in the race and still could take time to go to New Orleans and a funeral for a fellow officer.Hillary shows how she cares about the people in our country time after time.Obama dosnt even have any accomplishments at all he has done for our country. You Obama voters and supporters will be sorry if he makes office. This country is doomed.Is he going to be to busy and make excuses if the phone really rings? concerned Vet

Those who are satisfied with the status quo will vote for either Hillary Clinton or John McCain. Those who want the country to go in a different direction will vote for Barak Obama. I am one who has had it with the staus quo and the experienced politicians who have made a mess of this country..

Finally, the truth about Hillary and all of her overstated B.S. lies pertaining to her so-called "experience". Diplomats and Nobel Peace Prize winners alike have denounced and rejected her claims in negotiating peace and women's rights across the world. All she did is take 5-star trips to all corners of the world with her daughter and other celebrities. Her "experience" argument is a joke and if she would ever agree to release her files as first lady(and her tax returns), then we could finally see all of the lies that is holding up her house of cards.

If MI and FL get a revote, and it's increasing looking like that (HIllary has a good lead in both MI and FL). If Hillary wins PA too, then its good night people, race over and nominee picked. Hillary will be the Democratic nomination regardless of what any of you Clinton Haters have to say. There are almost 500 delegates up in the air between PA, MI and FL (again 3 big states). She won't have the majority, but she be leading Barack. So even though both candidates wont clinch the magic number of 2025, Hillary will have the lead by then in pledge delegates and super delegates and Barack will still lead in popular vote.
IN, NC, KY, OR and WV will have a say, but they will all split at this point (equal out). It will be very close though, I'll say that.
So Barack will be asked to step aside. But, to unite and bring together the Democratic party, Hillary will ask Barack to be VP, and he will definitely accept.
Interesting, this could be a reality come late May/early June.
Crazy right?! But not too far fetch, she could be the comeback kid! We'll just have to see how this all plays out. Definitely one for history books.

Oh yeah, by the way, LEAVE GERALIDINE ALONE! What she said was completely taken out of context. And all the Clinton Haters and Media Outlets want to entertain this idea of racism. Grow up guys. If you want to attack someone, attack John McCain.

Step away Hillary, slink away let the party show it is strong and vibrant Obama can take it from here thanks!

Why are people suggesting that all Black people are voting for Obama because he is black? Black people always vote like this remember a guy be the name of John Kerry, well he got 83% of the black vote in Louisiana Obama wasn’t that far off with 82% but it just goes to show that one candidate can get a large portion of the black vote and it has nothing to do with race. Let’s lay some facts down for the confused ones on here, first he’s not black he’s both black and white (Unity). This guy took a Harvard degree to the South Side of Chicago to help poor people (Hard work, helping other who can’t help themselves). Has not taken a dime from corporate lobbyist this entire campaign (Honesty). And not only has he fought this entire campaign but his whole life from the bottom to the top (Strength). Those are qualities in a leader we should all want.

Seems New York state has a lot corrupted politicians, maybe that's why Hillary Clinton moved to NY (instead of going bac to Arkansas) to grab a senate seat ?

This news is so important, it should be on the Main Page in CNN.com's Headlines. Everyone needs to know the truth about the lying Clintons.

hillary campaign is like the titanic"'the band is playing ,while the ship goes down.lollllll.

If Clinton said Obama has not enough experience, how can she downgrade the experienced people in Bush's adminsitration? Experience but bad judgement is not good enough. She had experience but didn't she flopped the health care change in 1992? Character is the most important thing for a president and she has very bad character: she cares only about herself but always spins to look like she cares for others! No wonder her supporters are uneducated, low incomers,... who would grab at anything she lied to them.

I thought the Obama Campaign stated that "Experience doesn't matter"......if that is so, then why question Clintons experience?? Isn't this the same political slander that has been going on in politics for the past hundred years or so??? Whatever happened to the "change" that Obama is going to bring the white house??? Oh, I get it....that's just a ploy to bring in more votes.....just like his harsh criticism of NAFTA.....I can't believe people actually buy into his "change" speeches.....get a clue people...

OBAMA for PRESIDENT

I am glad someone is finally looking into this. All of you Clinton supporters need to be asking yourself what she has to hide in her tax returns.

When the phone rings at 3 A.M. it will be the Chinese and Saudi heads, special interests and lobbyists calling in their favors. She has said she does not want to share the information in her tax returns until she is the nominee. In other words, never.

The republicans however, have a good idea whats in there!!

Google "Clinton scandals". and have a nice read.

Wolf when it does not benefit the Clintons you do not seem to report the whole true, why did't you post the whole Memo For people to read the lies of hillary about the her foreign policy experience. Is it Wolf been biased again. CNN need to fire you and Lou Dobbs and hire some trustworthy and intelegent reporters.

Obama continues to take the high road and cast a vision of what America can become. Hillary and her supporters remain in the gutter of the old politics of divisiveness, racism and throwing the kitchen sink campaign strategies that belies Washinton politics.

God is watching us!

LETS BE CLEAR...

OBAMA WAS CHAIRMAN OF EUROPE FOREIGN RELATIONS

COMMITTEE AND NEVER HELD A MEETING ON

AFGHANISTAN BECUZ HE WAS BUYS CAMPAIGNING AS OBAMA

NOTED IN A DEBATE...SO WHO HAS EXPERIENCE???

HILLARY 08 !!!!

So much for free speech eh CNN?

She has more experience in foreign policy than he does. Period.

1. She never claimed to be responsible for peace in Northern Ireland. She did a good job of brining women's groups to the table.

2. She never claimed to open the border in Kosovo. She negotiated to keep the opening there when it was periodically being closed and opened.

3. She fought for women's rights in China when the Chinese government did not want her there. They invited her late because they had to (as a result of all the backchannel pressure).

And what has Obama done. Oh, thats right, he chaired a subcommittee that has yet to hold a meeting.

I hope Obama keeps talking about security, because this is a losing issue for him. Between NAFTAgate (which we now know happened) and his "nonplan" for Iraq and his hedging on the Iraq war in his book it should be clear that Clinton is superior on foreign policy.

Yes we can! The good news is Obama is here and here to stay Hillary must step away It is a new day for the Clintons get used to it!!!!
OBAMA 08!

Senator Obama is all words and he is decceiving the electorate. We have to be smarter than he is and we can not enter into his deceiveness. Senator Obama does not have the experience nor the
transparency that is needed to be Comander in Chief...HHe is all Bluff...

Hillary's 'experience' claims kill me. You'd think SHE was the president during good ole Billy Boy's term...

Whats next? Is Tiger Woods' wife going to claim she can win the Masters???

If i may just note-

Of course Hillary only cares about winning. If you had to loan yourself 5 million dollars to do so, i suspect you'd do the same. And i suspect, she's doing it to save our country, despite the widespread slander and cynicism. Internationally, Clinton is a winner. i can say that from experience.

Here in the rest of the world, Obama mania is waning. Increasingly, we find him somewhat arrogant, naive, holier-than-thou, messianic, and really just a typical politician disgusing the inner ego-trip by whooping everybody up and making people believe its about 'Us' and 'We' when it is most definately all about HIM.

Obama and his supporters snatched the baton from clinton. He ran with it, and will inevitably stumble, shouldering a resentment that will make Ralph nader seem like a friend.

Just wait.

Yay! Finally, Obama is questioning Clinton's "experience" and showing that she has none and has been exaggerating her claims as First Lady. Actually, Obama's experience as editor of the Harvard Law Review , constitutional law professor, and U.S. Senator far outweigh anything Clinton could offer. So, Obama is far more experienced and has the judgment to answer the red phone in the White House when it rings at 3 a.m. He will make a fine President of the U.S.

Obama is attacking???!!!

Where is that standard that he was holding on?

Did he claim he is a different one?

What will the media say about OBAMA'S ATTACK??? Agree?

By the way, where is his foreign policy experience?

Go away, Obama, stay with your so called "standard", if you have one.

Hillary, 08!

This probably won't get posted as usual, but......

These Obama supporters are so pathetic and blind that they just do not want to see the truth. Are they all idiots to think that the ad is saying that their prophet can't answer the call because he has never been put in that eecutive position to do so? Neither has Hillary but THAT IS NOT HER POINT MORONS!!!!! The ad simply states who do you want to answer that phone call and those so-called educated voters cannot comprehend its meaning. Hopefully this simple-minded PhD can explain it to you.....ALL IT IMPLIES IS WHO DO YOU THINK IS BETTER PREPARED AND MORE EXPERIENCED TO ANSWER THE CALL......I cannot believe that the Obama followers are so ignorant of such a simple question. Hillary has always proposed that she has far more experience that Obama and even his own surrogates have said so ...oh but he is inspirational and that's all he needs for the job?????? This ad is not some underhanded tactic that she is doing...it is a fait and legitimate question but the reason Obama doesn't like it is b/c it makes people think about the reality of the presidency and the common sense of having experience for it.

GROW UP OBAMA FOLLOWERS AND JOIN THE REAL WORLD FOR A CHANGE!!!!!!

What foreign policy experience? What dish and silverware to use for the upcoming state dinner? Approving menus? Maybe a public relations swing through a country or 2? That is what first ladies do. If there was something more significant, why won't she prove it by releaseing the papers? What's to hide if that is what you say your strength is?

She has none. What you may see is that she has sold you a bill of goods and you bought it!

It's time to get real.

All the high school kids need to be in school not running caucuses. Could we not find someone old enough to vote? It's 3:00 AM

I think Hillary is counting her oversight of State Dinners in the White House as high level foreign policy experience. Generally, at those affairs, the first lady sits with the male head of state and the president with his spouse. I'm sure she prompted some signiicant policy changes over the creme brulee,

JOHN McCAIN 08

Go Johnny Go !!!!

Hillary has more experience than Obama .Has more guts than Obama .Has a better plan for America than Obama. And sees a better day than Obama.Obama sees sleeping alnight through 3 am as imperative to his beauty sleep and giving Iraq and Ahfganistan a free reign to terroize our nation

I've big concern regarding Sen. Clinton's claim of experience but not presenting any viable evidence other than she was married to Bill Clinton, former Gov. of Ark. and former President of US. Is her "experience" the Washington Politics that so many of us are wanting to get away from?

Time for Hillary to put her proof where her mouth is........how about those tax records and phone/travel logs that continue to be delayed?

Of course Hillary only cares about winning. If you had to loan yourself 5 million dollars to do so, i suspect you'd do the same.

FOR HEAVENS SAKE ITS SO SHE CAN SAVE OUR COUNTRY! AN OBAMA PRESIDENCY IS A POISONED CHALICE.

Hillary is not going to be in charge anyways....Bill is running the show......

Obama supporters are really nasty and its starting to show. Apparently, the older democrats are going to have teach these young Obama supporters a lesson. By supporting Hillary. Obama hasn't really won one caucus fairly...because, older persons, either are in no condition to vote or able to transport themselves to these events. That's why the state's were primaries are held (and write in votes are counted) Hillary has won. EVERYONE had a chance to vote. Obama hasn't won enough big states to even put him in the same category as Hillary. Remember this country president is chosen based on electoral votes and not popular vote. Thank god for that...hopefully it will keep Obama from winning the presidency. So, if it ain't Hillary...then it will be McCain. Also, bare in mind...if Hillary doesn't get the nomination, I would strongly recommend she run as an independent. If not to win, but to keep Obama from winning. We dont need a junior in the whitehouse. But a strong committed leader.

Obama says he would have voted against the war. Obama says he honors our vets. Oh really? If we did not go to War, Saddam would still be in power. We would not have done anything after the towers came down. Pat Tillman would still be alive. Our enemies would think for such a great miliary, we a do nothing country. Sure the war is unpopular, but what war is? War is ugly, but mankind has been at war for the most of the time since mankind's existence. Obama is a bunch of lip service to the men and women in uniform. Obama declaring his no to the vote is a slap in the face to our people in uniform.

If you dont know what kind of experience Hillary has ,you shouldnt vote.She has done plenty for my state N.y.,shes on the board of armforces.She done alot for vetrens, military etc. Shes brought peace with Northern Ireland,Helped over seas with womans rights, I can go on ,and on what she has done for our country. The question is what has Obama done? Nothing. America will wake up when our country falls ,if he is elected.You young people just hear promises,changes,and hope that you wont see.HRC is our only answer for the changes you want.If you wanrt to be bias against a woman, and vote for your own race ,than you deserve what you get. concerned vet

Obama never said he had Foreign Policy experience. George Bush says he had no Foreing policy expereince. Bill Clinton said he had no foreing policy experience.

But Hillary Clinton says she has foreing policy experience. What a joke. Hillary and her team cannot even come up with one major issue of her Foreign policy expereince.

Wake up... and stop her from Spinning the issue back to Barack. he has not experience...but he never said he did. Hillary said she had the expereinice. So tell us Hillary Supporters. Tell us your candidates Foreign Policy experience.

Obamas experience is preaching & good talker with no action.

As long as Obama stays on the issues he's okay. Pointing out differences without making them personal attacks is not "negative". Senator Clinton has been no less than hypocritical, and, despite her intelligence and "experience" it's turning people off. It has nothing to do with being a woman, it has everything to do with being "Hillary".

Senator Clinton is the one who put it out there about experience, the one who put it out there about "solutions"...........now Obama is calling her on it and its ticking the HRC supporters off. She can prove her experience by releasing the Whitehouse documents, prove her integrity by releasing her tax returns (you know...you remember how she hammered Rick Lazio for the SAME thing during her 2000 campaign for US Senator) and returning the whitehouse furniture and reject and denounce anyone in her campaign or any supporter who would insult or make any personal negative comments towards her opponent.

Time to put up or shut up........people are weary of the 3 faces of Eve.

First, I would like to say that I'm sick and tired of the Clinton's. I used to like Bill, but after his "fairy tail" statement and the look he had on his face, I no longer like him. As for Hilary – PEOPLE WAKE UP!!!

Hilary cannot lay any claim to any more experience than Obama. I keep hearing this thirty-five years of experience. I ask her lay out in detail exactly what she did along with exact dates and times and most of all who benefitted from her service?

Second, I totally dislike her arrogance like she is so privaledge that the white house is owned by her Bill and Chelsea. Who does she think she is?

Third, I know you don't need black people now and it is quiet clear on your's and Bill's face. I'm tired of how you are belittling Obama and I feel you and Bill are a second from using an inappropriate word in public because you know that there will be a significant consequence and I also believe you had to tell him to "SHUT THE H UP!!!!!!".

Fourth, know this "HILARY" if Obama does not receive the nomination you along with a great deal of my friends, and (we are spreading the word) – KNOW – YOU WILL NOT GET OUR VOTE.

Simply because you are a woman, not all of us feel a woman is suited for the position. As women we have watched your many faces and how they have changed constantly. We have listened how you have not told the truth (lied repeatedly).

Obama has no experience and you have all, but you want him to be your vice-president and he's ahead of you in every aspect. Hilary is simply trying to mess with his mind as people of their kind like to do.

Overall, I think Obama is handling her the right way and that is to ignore her and hopefully the world will see her for who she really is. I don't think Obama needs to go after her every ploy or word, because that's what she and her camp wants him to do.

OBAMA, stick to the issues and do not allow Hilary or Bill get you off guard. GOD is as well as the american people are on your side, and I want you to know that me and every member of my family as well as my friends have our vote.

Hillary-Persistence&Smarts 08, Where is the proof that Clinton can deal with National Security issues? Where? Because she is the wife of a former president? she is kidding just a bunch of people who lack judgement!

no one can beat obama in november.that's a fact,with hillary out of the race.it's gonna be a land slide.and that's a fact.

I agree with comparing Hillary to Eleanor Roosevelt. I think she has definitely been a more involved First Lady than Laura Bush or others. Obama lacks experience too so it's the pot calling the kettle black, you cannot criticize her for what you yourself lack Obama. Then the lens goes back on you and you have no foreign policy experience except growing up as a kid in a foreign country...that's child life experiences not real experience.

I think as more time goes by and they keep attacking each other it creates more material for McCain to use against either one that emerges from this primary. Way to go media helping to destroy Democrat chances in November...but then so are WE Democrats by not being above this silly ranting. I like BOTH of them and would vote for Clinton/Obama or Obama/Clinton. Figure it out guys and JOIN UP or you WILL lose in November to McBush.

The truth requires no support but, a LIE always has to be supported with more lies. Tell this to hillary

america is in chaos because of clinton and bush.

don't put another one in the white house unless you hate america.

"When your entire campaign is based upon a claim of experience, it is important that you have evidence to support that claim," -Well if Obama campaign is based upon change, it important that he give specifics to support that claim, which he does not.. Hillary Clinton gives specifics on her experience

Craig came from President Clinton's camp so this means a lot. The truth is, you can say you think Obama is inexperienced, but he has more experience than former Presidents Clinton and Reagan. Hillary Clinton has lied about her foreign policy experience; she was a splendid world traveler, but that's it. She was not "the face of foreign politics" nor did she make any decisions. HRC = puffery.

Sorry to say but she is a woman scorned and she needs to run something. Their marriage depends on it!

So why is Phil Singer referring to policy hearing that weren't held? Uhhh... what does that have to do with the issue being addressed? That being Clinton's alleged "experience"! Clearly he just didn't have a response to the memo so he is attempting to divert attention back to Obama. Yes, nice try!

The difference? Obama has never claimed to have done something that he hasn't, whereas Sen Clinton keeps touting her "experience" but everyone who was involved at the time keeps saying that she's exaggerating. So end all of this and release the papers! Exactly! She hasn't and is holding off as long as she possibly can. Open your eyes Hillary supporters, open your eyes! Because when you finally do, you'll see that it's politics as usual over at the Clinton camp!

... indeed

Obama '08
YES WE CAN!

Today is March 11, 2008, it is my son's birthday he is 31 years old today and I still have him to celebrate his birthday with his mother, father, sister, his grandparents and friends. 6 years and 6 months to the day of September 11, 2001, there were many here in the northeast and in other surrounding states where lives where lost and tragically taken from them. There are no birthdays to celebrate, no holidays, there are no hellos, no I love you's, no hugs, nor kisses.

Every 11th day of the month is a reminder of that awful day for those who lost a mother, father, son, daughter, sister, brother, niece, nephew, cousin, grandparent or a friend through that horrific act. After the shock of 911, Americans never backed down for what is right and never had to question what our American values were. When we pledge allegiance to our country and our flag, it is a commitment that we all partake to be united and free.

Senator Hillary Clinton of New York, understood the devastation that overtook her state and its people. Who would you trust on day 1, and at that 3:00 a.m. call? We need Hillary, a fighter for what is right for families, for the economy and to restore our standing in the world. Obama’s Audacity of Hope is for the hopeless that is maybe? Do we really need maybe? I don’t think so. For Hillary it is will and determination for us. Yes she will!

Never mind some stupid memo that some ex-staffer of the Clinton´s has written. I think Hillary made perfect sense when she defended her record on experience, when she was questioned about it by several news channels. As a European (Ireland), I´m shocked over how many "Ken Starr wannabies" there are out there. It baffles me that these people dont appriciate more all the great things that Ex President Bill Clinton did for your country. And that they havn´t realized that Hillary by far is your best option to be the next President. It´s been put beyond all doubth that Obama will say whatever is suitable at any specific moment, regardless of, if he meens it or not. That has been proven by his top staff members on security/foreign affairs and trade/economics when they "spilled the beans" in Scotland/England
and to that Canadian trade delegation. So folks: get your act together and switch your senses back on.............Hillary for president !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

By the way: How can Obama get so much credit for that speech against the war he held back in ´02. Hillary was also against the war. But she was in a position where she had to participate in a string of votes concerning steps the US should or should not take, without knowing what we N O W know to be fact. It´s always easy after the fact, when you´ve got all the answers. What if British and US intelligence had been rigth and Sadam had the WMD´s at his disposal. Any member who then had voted against giving the president THE AUTHORITY TO USE THE THREAT OF FORCE had probably been considered an idiot. If Obama had been a member of the US senate at that time he migth well have voted "present", as he did on other issues, numerous occasions during his time as senator in Illinois. But I got to hand it to him: He IS a great talker.

the Nobel peace prize guy from the N.Ireland called her a cheerleader in the peace talks...we have foreign leaders laughing at us for considering a Presidents wife who is running on his experience!

Once again, can we all do the fact check????????

1) How can we vote for a candidate-OBAMA when he voted 100 times present when in the Illinois Senate and not even a YES/NO? Where is the good judgment Obama and his campaign keeps stressing? Taking responsibility for your actions whether right or wrong, specifies good judgment at a particular time-when you have to make that decision for the good of your constituency!

2) CHANGE–where and how???? You are still surrounded by the same Washington rejects from yester years and you are listening to every outdated judgments they make.

3) RESPONSES AND REBUTTALS–he is childish in his responses to the Clinton's claims and charges, almost sounding like their is a HALO above his head. We are still waiting for a clear, concise response to questions about his " belief, heritage and patriotism"??????

We the "courted Independents" are waiting impatiently now!!!!!!

Some of you on here are missing the mark regarding this discussion. A few of you keep say "what is his foreign policy experience" which is deflecting from the real issue.....your candidate lack of experience. Obama has not been touting "experience" on the campaign trail whereas Hillary has. Obama's message is "change" which everyone can see by the movement he has created. It is visible and people are witnessing it. They feel that they are apart of something great. On the other hand, Hillary's "experience" is not visible to the American people and she keep saying she has it. Her alleged strength has now become a strong weakness. Hillary supporters need to stop deflecting the issue.

He's right, if she's claiming to have all these foreign policy experience and mislead the American people to believing her nonsence, someone has to prove her wrong and prove that she's not what she claims to be and this is not just on foreign policy but on everything.

Yes we can!
Obama '08

Clinton says she traveled to 80 countries and that qualifies her to be commander-in-chief. My question is, what exactly did she travel to those countries to do? I know she visited Ghana in 1998 with the husband and they spent only 5 hours. Will she count that also as a foreign policy experience? I have visited almost 20 European countries and some other ones, I guess, I qualify too to become the commander-in-chief.

Illinois post:

Hillary could be compared to Eleanor Roosevelt, who deliberately inserted herself into politics to fight for what's right….even though it made her some enemies just as it has made Hillary some enemies.

Finally someone out there gets it!!! Obama lacks experience and that is why the super delegates question his ability to be president!!!

Another side note...Bill puffs ( not inhales ) CUBANS...another peice of foreign experience...Ha !

TO CLEAR THIS MATTER UP HILLARY CLINTON SHOULD RELEASE HER WHITE HOUSE PAPERS FROM WHEN SHE WAS A FIRST LADY.

"Son, don't forget all you learned while living in Indonesia."

awww. and what have you done in Afganistan NObama??...NOTHING!

Hasn't CNN carried this "Why should I be second" enough. Every time I turn on CNN they have to show the little baby crying why should I be second. I love ice cream but I don't eat it 24/7. I think CNN should do the same

Correction : "...when Bill won the first presidency"

I see many people argue that one candidate is not suited to become President (even the other candidate said so).

Guess what: in a democracy the one with the votes gets the presidency, regardless of his or her – perceived – qualifications!

Why else did you just have EIGHT YEARS BUSH PRESIDENCY?

I have a lot of Medical Experience as my x-hub or 12 years is a doctor. Hmm.. How would you like me performing your surgery.

Obama/Kennedy 08

What was Bill Clinton's national security when I first won hte Presidency? He is not better that Obama now so Hillary's lies are just that: tell the lies until people believe them. Billary are snakes, they will do anything to win the presidency for a third term.

On the most critical foreign policy judgment of our generation – the War in Iraq – Senator Clinton voted in support of a resolution entitled “The Joint Resolution to Authorize the Use of U.S. Military Force Against Iraq.” As she cast that vote, she said: “This is probably the hardest decision I have ever had to make - any vote that may lead to war should be hard - but I cast it with conviction.” In this campaign, Senator Clinton has argued – remarkably – that she wasn’t actually voting for war, she was voting for diplomacy. That claim is no more credible than her other claims of foreign policy experience. The real tragedy is that we are still living with the terrible consequences of her misjudgment. The Bush Administration continues to cite that resolution as its authorization – like a blank check – to fight on with no end in sight.

okay, the add did not help Billary win in Tx or OH. Billary had a lead significant lead going into the states, however, that was almost erased completely in TX and was tightened in OH. Remember, in TX she only won by just over 100k votes. That gave her a 4 delegate net for the state. a victory, but nothing that should be praised as great! they, billary are still over 130 dels behind.

jd I completely agree with you. Chris what do you mean that Barack should withdraw? All Hillary is doing is lying about her experience, and trying to put Obama down, she is taking low blows, when Obama is dignified.

GO OBAMA!

Side Note....Bill has foreign experience...Lewinsky...isn't she of polish heritage?

Obama camp wants to appoint Tony Rezko to take care of Foreign Policy the same way he toke care of Nadhin Auchi.

Why is he even saying this? This the man that counts what he did as a 6 year old as foreign policies. This guy just as no idea what he is saying?

Silly season in politics and sounds ridicules; if I claim to have 35 years of experience in my CV, I should be able to back it out.

I guess the memo is correct since the Clinton campaign couldn't refute any of it.

UMMMMIS OBAMA IN THE POSITION TO DO THAT? HE HAS NO FOREIGN POLICY EXPIRIENCE WHATSOEVER. THIS IS THE BIG FAT POT CALLING THE KETTLE BLACK.

Obama did not tout anything. Hillary and Bill Clinton did when they offered him the VP job.

Hillary said the VP has to be ready to be president, then they offered it to him as if they had it to offer.

Black, white, male, female...............Hillary and Bill Clinton have practically preached that Obama is ready to go "ON DAY ONE"

That is that!!

She manages to keep the Clinton family together after all the hog wash (pun intended)and scandals. New York hired her twice to be Senator She is one strong woman if you ask me........ give her a chance Obama gets the kids to vote for him. I don't know about you guys but I wouldn't let an 18-25 year old run my household never mind the Whitehouse.

Hey Hillary, what about those tax returns and those papers from the 8 years while being the first lady?

Obama is no different from any other candidates. His is a piece of trash and will stoop to anything for a vote. Wait a minute, isn't that what Obama people said about Hillary.

Uh oh...Hillary's fantasy experience is being brought into question. We KNOW she doesn't have any.

If Bill Clinton let her act in serious negotiations or crises resolution, then we should have not just impeached him, we should have removed him from office.

I remember her "world" tour at the expense of us tax payers toward the end of Bill's last term. That was all it was...a free guided world tour, nothing more.

So, The DNC is contemplating demanding a joint ticket with Hitler and O Blah Blah. It doesn't matter who it is as long as the Democrats win the election....Sounds like you are all sheep.
That's right, lets get somebody...Anybody to collect the White House this term and we will have the House for the next 16 years...sounds rather dictator-like or very socialist to me. Who is your real candidate?
the whole party? What a fight that will turn out to be..Howard Dean, Nancy, and all of the other money hungry goons to fight over who will "RUN" the new Gov't?

Like they say she will do anything, Absolutely anything to get into the big house, jumping at even the slightest thing she can find. She has fallen short of slapping senator Obama in his face literally.

One minute she says she is willing to have him as Vice President and the next she says he is not ready. She says she is honored to be in the debate with him, the next she says only she and Senator McCain are ready to be commander in chief.

Given that she changes her story to suit the mode of things, here are some questions and likely scenarios.
- Iraq – To the voters she'll say pull the troops out. While in the white house I predict she'll say we have to stay in there
- Health care – She'll say universal health care for all – In the white house, the economy shall take a greater part of her schedule and hence no time for pushing for health care.
- Immigration – She argues reform today, In the white house, well it may go anyway she pleases.

In summary, She just wants to get to the white house and she will step on everyone and everybody even her own party. If she doesn't get the nomination, then no one will, and that has been her motto and will continue to be.

Vote for Hillary only if you fully understand that she is going to do exactly the opposite of what she says.

Wow the Obama supporters here sure do have to do a lot of hollering to defend their candidate. I wonder why that is....perhaps the inexperienced notion really isn't that far off.

List his journeys in elected service...

One thing you CAN'T deny, OBAMA HAS NO EXPERIENCE, PERIOD!!

Hillary Clinton got caught in lies about her foreign policy experience...but everyone must remember who she is. Hillary Clinton is a liar.....and liars tell lies. She always has... Hillary Clinton will keep on lying and this is all that she knows...this is what makes her so dangerous.

The lies about foreign policy experience...means that she is taking credit for someone else’s hard work.

WAKE UP...If we have Iraq to deal with...and must focus our man power there...I don't care if you hold one million meaningless meetings about Afghanistan policy...you have nothing to take action with.

Obama ‘08

About time. l mean tell me how does been a first Lady constitute executive experience or commander-in- chief treshold? It is good judgement just like Obama have shown when everyone else was too afraid to say that the war was a dump war. So tell me, what does that say of hillary who without thinking twice vote to authorise the war that is costing us billions every week? and you are ready to take the treshold of command? in your dreams may be. Obama is more than capable and he should be the next president of our great country to restore our dignity, and restore our friendship with the world at large.
Enough of don't talk to your enemy nonsense because it has not produce result, that is the meaning of insanity!.

I feel sorry for you Hillary. I am waiting for your next lie. You always come up with one.

When you have nothing to brag about your own experience, hammer others'.

are any of you guys aware of what your spouse does for a living?...are you ever privy to details about matters at their workplace?....see?
it's one thing to be the wife/husband of a schoolteacher and have no interest in public education, and quite differently another to be the wife of the president and have a keen awareness of politics?
it's the Obama effect, i know........feel first, think later.....hey, did you guys notice he ordered turkey sausage at that restaurant in Miss?.....lol

That's right ! It's time to call this pathetic bluff.

Last night I saw a doku that debunk her claim that she 'brought peace to Northern Ireland'. What a joke. Also, she opened the borders in Kosovo ? With Sheryl Crow and her daughter at her side a day AFTER the border were opened ! They went there to entertain the troops.

How stupid do we have to be to buy such a bluff ?

Why is CNN not reporting the results of the Texas caucus? From what I understand, Obama won the caucus and therefore has more delegates than Hillary, but they are still showing Hillary has won Texas (she did win the primary). Shouldn't CNN show as the winner the one that won the most delegates? Is the caucus still not counted? If not, how come? Do some reporting or get your tables fixed.

If you always vote for Republicans or you always vote for Democrates, you will always have Republicans or Democrats in office. VOTE INDEPENDENT

Hillary Clinton points to her service on the Armed Services Committee, the same committe that not proactive enough to allow us to go to war with the Army we had, not the Army we wished we had.
Was reactive, not proactive, about Wounded Warriors. Show me she cares about the military.

It's too late Obama, the voters have given you a chance to beat HILLARY in CA, in TX & OHIO, in FL, you have never closed the deal! You are a weak candidate, in foreign policy, economy & as a commander in chief! Meet us in PA! Beat us there!

GO HILLARY!~

Billary's foreign policy experience of 35yrs claim is her being married to a cheating Bill Clinton and her cosmetic window dressing visits to foreign countries!

in all fairness, I've heard plenty of Obama supporters claim that his childhood years abroad count as experience. Talk about a stretch. If you're going to denounce one, you need to be able to see the forest for the trees and denounce the other.

Of course Hillary is ready on day one she traveled overseas with Sinbad, now that's national security experience...lol

Yes! Thank you for pointing out that just because you say you have experience, it doesn't make it so! Hillary running as the candidate of "experience" and then counting every year since she left college as "experience" is a joke! The one thing that she is experienced at is running disrespectful, dishonest campaigns. I'll give her that – she runs one nasty campaign. Maybe after this is all over, she can become a Republican strategist, the next Karl Rove.

Look at votesmart.org to see the two democratic candidate's voting records. Its true that Obama has voted "present" or excused on a lot of votes. As a first term junior senator, he hasn't been around long enough to learn the ropes in federal government. Plus, I believe his refusing to consider a "dream team" ticket is egotistical and will ultimately harm the democratic party's chances to beat McCain. The two of them together would be fantastic. They both need to consider the bigger picture: our country's future. While historic, people should not rush to put the first black man or the first woman in the oval office just because they are African American or a female. And Obama should stop harping on the vote that Hillary made for presidential authority to use force against Iraq. She faced the intel that all Senators did at that time, and she made the best choice for our country's security she could based on the information the intelligence agencies provided. She faced a hard choice. There's a difference between facing hard choices and making a pretty speech about your opinion. Obama wasn't even in office at the time so it easy for him to make a stand about the vote, he didn't have to vote on it. He's since voted for additional funding for the same war.

And they all lie. All politicians lie, including Obama. Pull your head out of the sand.

O.K. Clinton cocktail drinkers, slow down. Hillary has not attended ONE Armed Services Committee meeting since she started campaigning. So sorry to see her padded tea and cookies resume FINALLY crumble under scrutiny. A "speech" in Beijing at a womens' conference "doesn't count" (her words, not mine)! This just goes to show you how silly her claim of "35 years" or a "lifetime" (it changes depending on which way the wind is blowing) really is. Again, it's all a mirage that's been exaggerated and padded with Bill's (symbolic) accomplishments.

Hillary Clinton was not regular First Lady; she was heavily involved in political processes, same as Eleanor Roosevelt. There are only two First Ladies of this kind in history of America. She was more as Co-President, and played more role in decisions to make than Al Gore. She was co-running this country, do you like it or not. She has experience and smarts like no one else. How about BO? One person said here: "He got in Senate, dropped his bags and run for President.” Nothing else to say about this guy. Very sad!.

Obama wants to meet with the President of Iran! He'll try to make friends of all our enemies while they are planning attacks behind his back. His idea of foreign policy is scary. Go Hillary!

I Hope Senator Clintons Supporters Can See W-h-y Following the "M-o-n-e-y T-r-a-i-l" can EXPOSE Who a Candidate Really Is.

That Being Said: Why Won't Senator Clinton Just Go Ahead and RELEASE A-N-Y of Her Tax Returns For the Past 6-Years?

Im so glad Obama is finally going after her in issues that are important to both candidacy.

To all those who are saying its ironic for Obama to go after Clinton since he has less experience (never mind the fact that Obama has spent longer in elected office than she):

I think it is fair for him to fo this because Clinton is basing her whole candidacy on her experience, so he has every right to go after her for this!

Don't get me wrong, Clinton is no Laura Bush (who has done absolutely nothing for this country, or barbie doll Cindy mccain), and I in no way dismiss all the work that Hillary has done, but at the same time, I do not think it is okay to grossly exagerrate her "35 years" of experience, and throw it in Obama's face. It is absolutely time to start looking into these expereinces claims, it is fair ground, and I sa GO FOR IT OBAMA!!!

STOP THE HATE, VOTE OBAMA 08!!!!!!

Doesn't Obama compromise Clinton by supporting this point? If she will be the nominee to run against McCain, aren't such comments hurting the party chance to get the election? Why do you hold double standards? This happened during all this campaign.

Hillary'08!

If Obama is all about words, Oh why, Oh why, is he ahead and winning. Won twice as many states, more votes, and more pledged delegates. Many folks know he's more than just words. The world will know Jan. 1st 2009 when Obama is the next president of the united states. Let the (words) come out of your mouth. PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES.

I DONT THINK THAT EDWARDS WILL ENDORSE OBAMA OR RUN WITH HIM. EDWARDS IS MUCH BETTER.

I am not happy Obama because you make me wait too long to hear the unique and just answer. HILLARY DOES NOT HAVE EXPERIENCE, PERIOD. The only experience she has is in doing fraudulent business. She should have bought a character before entering the race!!

Hillary you lack values to even be a state senator!! YOU CANNOT BE PRESIDENT, PERIOD.

LOL

Obama is making a huge mistake here (again)

Everyone with half a brain knows Clinton was a sucessfull president. Whether hillary KNEW EVERYTHING or not , she surely will if elected.

You cant tap dance that out of peoples heads. There is no way Obama can convince anyone Hillary cant run the white house.

Besides nobody HONESTLY believing she cant run the white house, Obama is certainly the LAST GUY who should be talking about experience.

Regardless if he manages to convince folks she has limited experience in direct foreign policy, all Clinton has to do is go , Yeah? Well you have NONE AT ALL.

clinton,what else do u have to say?its finished

OBAMA 08

For those of you who keep asking about Obama's foreign policy experience:

You're completely missing the point of his rebuttal. Senator Clinton is trying to equate her 8 years as First Lady to 8 years of "Presidential experience". I'm sure she gained something from all those trips abroad and meetings with dignitaries (and their spouses), but it is IN NO WAY THE SAME THING.

The point here is that Senator Obama is calling her on it, not saying that he has experience that she doesn't. That's the difference.

WHY IS WHEN I HIT OBAMA I GET THE NEGATIVE THAT HILLARYS TEAM SAYS,,,,DONT HELP HER,,,,,,SHE HAS THE BEST GO OF ANY PRESEDENT IN HISTORY

The question is are you content with the same old washington or do want a chance at changing our politics and bringing in millions of new and invigorated youth into our party? Do you want to be progressives or republican lite?

The only candidate with any foreign policy credentials whatsoever is John McCain. Clinton and Obama are fully ignorant of international affairs, mistaking "likeability" for geopolitics.

Clinton and Obama should focus their debate on whatever issues they really know about.

Ditto what Illinois said.

Go Hillary '08

Her experience does count. You can consider her work in the White House more of a dignitary than that of a normal wife.

She WORKED when Bill was in Office. Sure, she was married to the President and that's how she got in the White House, but she also WORKED to get him elected like any campaign manager or adviser. She WORKED. Don't discredit that.

CNN will probably not post this because it is pro-Clinton.

Hilary's claim to commander in chief readiness is laughable as it's scary, latter due to the gullible people few who take it in line hook and sinker.

To the Hilary camp, kindly

1. Release her tax returns / list of beneficiaries of pardons from her "copresidency" years

2. Release her detailed experience / CV

3. Clarify whether she attacked the credibility of a 12 year old child victim of rapre as attorney to the alleged rapist / peodophile.

" college bloggers" again-knowing everything–researching nothing.

If you want to know more about Hillary's "extensive experience" in international diplomacy, please take a look at today's Politico.com, Ben Stein's report.

He documents many of her so-called experiences. It is truly breathtaking............

Experience.....just a small challenge for you all.

Let's play – lets get informed! It is a great new game where you go to senator clintons website and READ about some of her accomplishments....her foreign policy experience...and interviews from the substantial amount of Generals who are supporting her because of her abilties and EXPERIENCE.

Then and only then can your adolescent comments have any substance. And oh, by the way – comparing a Democrats experience to a Republicans experience is like comparing apples to oranges......there is none so get smart!

cnn and a few other websites have already looked into clintons foreign policy experience and much of it is dead on what she says!this is just OBAMA putting out more lies! he is one shady man! i cant wait to see his face once she wins!- look past that fake charm and wake up folks!- VOTE HILLARY 08!!

Obama campaign: You really want to challenge Clinton on lack of foreign policy experience? I mean, REALLY?! I find that hilarious, when your candidate has ABSOLUTELY NO FOREIGN POLICY EXPERIENCE TO SPEAK OF. Funny, none of you seem to mention this.

If you're so obsessed with "the math", Obama campaign, here's a stumper for you: less of something is still more than NONE OF SOMETHING.

Most of the petty mind games from Clinton and her camp are not worthy of much attention and I know the American people are way too smart to buy into them. But I must say, if Obama is going to give some attention, this is certainly the arena to do it in. The record is clear, Clinton has exaggerated her foreign policy experience and it needs to be exposed.

Way to go Obama for hammering this very important problem of Clinton!

It's time for real change in America, it's time for Barack Obama for President !

Shut up Obama! You make me sick! WaWaWaWa.....that's all you ever do! Grow a backbone and show your true colors! You think that the Republican's are gonna go easy on you if you are the Dem's nominee? They will not only throw the kitchen sink but all the house and dirt under!

Hillary has had 8 years in the Senate. Then she starts claiming 16 years of experience, then 35. I'm reasonably sure that within two weeks she'll be telling audiences she has served this country for 140 years and saw the south through Reconstruction – anything to get a vote.

Wow Chris

Like a true Clintonian your post is full of typos and mis-pelling. I guess she is getting the uneducated vote. Obama is fresh and not steeped in the politics of old, that's why he is winning and will be the next President. Experience in the current Gov't (35 yrs right) is a bad thing. America sees it why can't Hillary fans?

IT'S ABOUT TIME!!! HOW DOES TOURING AROUND THE WORLD AND DEALING WITH A CHEATING HUSBAND GIVE YOU THE EXPERIENCE TO RUN THE COUNTRY? SO MAYBE ANGELINA JOLIE SHOULD RUN FOR PRESIDENT NEXT!!!

OBAMA '08

Hey Hillary! I bet you feel pretty ridiculous now that the Irish are laughing at your claims that you had any significant role in their peace process. Also, maybe you should consider Sheryl Crow or Sinbad as your VP since they accompanied you on your so-called "foreign policy" work to help refugees in Yugoslavia. It was a PR mission and nothing more, and now everyone knows it!
Barack has gotten himself to where he is on his own merits. You, however, have ridden your husband's (tainted) coattails. As a woman, your story does nothing to appeal to my feminism. You only outrage me with you negativity and devisiveness. I would NEVER vote for you!

Obama 08!

Here's an unrelated and useless thought: This 3am thing, i don't even think she knows whats that about. Why? I'm guessing they slept in seperate beds and rooms in the white house. I wouldn't be surprised if that was the case......who could blame them. They prob. both hate each other given how big their egos are.

OK! Mr. Obama let us all know your experiences in foreign affairs. Not the one were you lived as a child in Indonesia, or visited Kenya in 2006 and had their school named after you for monetary reasons. Or the one were you are chairman of an important committee on NATO in Afganistan , you know the one that there have been no meeting on because you are to busy running for President. You think the Senate would drop you and but a reliable person in your place. I just love it when the kettle tries to call the pot black.

the best quote in the memo...

"And Barack Obama does not use false charges and exaggerated claims to play politics with national security. "

Obama is JUST WORDS. HAHAHA

HILLARY 08

I would like to see the memo, though I have no doubt it exists. I want to see Obama question Clinton's so-called experience much more. Everything she has done is because she was married to Bill Clinton. By her logic, does that mean Roslyn Carter, Barbara Bush and Laura Bush also have experience needed to be President? I don't think so. Being the First Lady means next to nothing. The one thing she was given to accomplish, healthcare reform, she botched. If you read last week's article in TIME about experience, our former Presidents with the most experience also are regarded as our worst. Abraham Lincoln had only served two years in the House when he was elected President and he is often lauded as one of our greatest leaders. Obama has been a much better manager of his campaign than she has been. I find her dream ticket idea arrogant at best. It is like she is telling the black boy to go to the back of the bus. I am white, only ten years younger than she, but I am offended by her behavior, and Bill's throughout this campaign. My idea of a dream ticket is Obama and anyone but her.

obama said he did not vote for the war i am confuss can some one please explain this to me because i also understand that he has been a senate for three years

I am STILL waiting for a single Obama supporter to talk about his experience. He has NONE. It's not even an arguement. His only hope is to create controversy about how MUCH experience Hillary has, to prevent anyone from pointing out that he has NONE!!

Get it? The man with NO EXPERIENCE, is calling out someone who clearly DOES have experience, no matter how great or little you want to argue it is. You have all been blinded by faith in rhetoric, and it is a testament to the sad state of American intelligence.

Obama said he is only going to run for president once...sooooo.....VOTE HILLARY so obama can lose and we will never ever have to deal with him again! Go Phil Singer, Go Hillary!

Obama tell me more about you and experiance and Larry Sinclair...

CHANGE IS GOOD AND IT IS NEEDED NOW IN AMERICA....PRESIDENT OBAMA 2008-YES WE CAN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Mr. Obama, what are your foreign policy qualifications? Absoulutely none, even if hers is just being their and being a part of the negotiations, it is still way more than you have, what are your foreign policy credentials. Please answer this question. Please!!

On the subject of vice president for Obama.

Hillary could help him become something, intraining they call it on my job. That is if he is willing to learn and really do something for the country.

Republicans and Democrates that want him now, know he can be manipulate and handled for all their misdoings and the can not munipulate or control Hillary, she can stand up to them....

Ted Kennedy..... who respects him – murderer!

SORRY. SHE IS RIGHT. SENATOR OBAMA IS A FIRST TIMER IN
THE UNITED STATES SENATE. HIS EXPERIENCE IN THE ILLINOIS
LEGISLATURE WAS MINIMAL. HIS ROLE CALL ON VOTES WAS
BAD. LOOK AT HIS VOTES. OVER ONE HUNDRED VOTES
IN THE LEGISLATURE WERE PRESENT. THAT IS NO VOTE.
THAT IS A COP OUT. HE CHOOSE THE WAY TO IGNORE TAKING
A POSITION WITH HIS VOTE. I CALL THAT NOT ONLY
INEXPERIENCE, BUT NOT WILLING TO TAKE A STRONG
STAND.....................

Alright so first of all it has to say something about Obama that he was able to GET chair of something that, as Clinton is making it out to be, is so important to foreign affairs after only being in the Senate for 2 years. Let's first have it said that the SUB-committee that Obama chairs is responsible for EUROPEAN matters. Afghanistan is a matter that the FULL committee (which happens to be the Foreign Relations Committee) and the Armed Services Committee (if about military action) are responsible for but most importantly with the Near East and South and Central Asian Affairs SUB-committees of the Foreign Relations Committee which Obama is not a member of... but that doesn't matter when no one cares to look up the facts. As a member of the armed services committee (which is more directly influential in matters of Iraq and Afghanistan with regards to security), Hillary Clinton has been ABSENT in February during 2 hearings on Afghanistan and Iraq involving strategies. But I guess that's not as important as campaigning. So how can she hold Obama to a standard she can't even hold to herself?

CNN DO YOUR JOB AND INFORM YOUR READERS OF THE TRUTH! THE NEWS IS IMPORTANT BUT THIS IS A BLOG CAPABLE OF ANALYZING STATEMENTS. IF THEY LEAD TO VOTES FOR A CANDIDATE DUE TO THE WRONG REASONS THEN YOU SHOULD FIND IT HARD TO SLEEP AT NIGHT!

Obama supporters you are going down with your leader. It's time to point out that your "true leader" is beginning to flip-fop again. I think I remember somebody daying that he does politics differently; that he doesn't follow the old Washington way. Well it seems to me that it's a lie. He's critising Hillary like crazy. Well we got yo now mister. You're lying about doing politics differently.You're lying to people who are blindly following you. CNN will get it right within the next day or two, and then the truth about you being different and bringing change will come out for the voters to see.

When will the CLINTONS and there campaign be called out for the constant racial tones they use. First Bill talks about the "fairy tale" campaign of Obama, then Bill's stupid comments in South Carolina saying Obama would get Token votes from the black vote. Then the mysterious photo of Obama in African costume. Now, Ms. Ferraro comes out and calls Obama nothing more then a black joke. This begins to really drive home what the Clintons and there campaign talk about behind closed doors. Of course there whole life in the public service front is done behind closed doors. When will the media stop buying her game and start really hammering her on all the SECRECY surrounding her and her campaign.

I have a feeling this whole Obama show is going down hill. People are getting tired of his same old HOPE speech. I don't think I can stand to hear it one more time so please CNN a little less Obama would be nice.

Everyone knows that Hillary Clinton political experience is a scam.

Hillary and Bill Clinton solicited money from Peter Paul and turned against him. Denied taking money from him whereas there is evidence to that infect.Having a Judge that was appointed by Clinton to throw the case away even though there evidence to the contrary.

Please I beg you to watch youtube video, it will make more sense why she is a scam fraud star. Who you candidate behaviour guys, you should be tired of these kind of politicians.

The time has come for Obama to withdraw from the election. He is not qualified to serve as President or Vice President. He is largely a community activist and a fade, like the hula hoop.

That statement is VERY TRUE!!!!!!!!

Hillary The True Winner!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

We are not nominating a flash in the pan with no experience.

I keep hearing CNN repeat Mrs. Clinton won Texas. This has so far been proven inaccurate, in terms of delegate count after the Texas caucus that was held after the primaries. I think CNN owes it to its viewers to correct this misstated "fact". While I agree it was easy to give her the win after the primary, the record needs to be set straight.

Mr. Cafferty, with his candid discussion of political issues, should lead the charge on correcting this.

diane

- you are not helping support your candidate with your blog. So you mean an, "IDIOT IN THE WHITE HOUSE WHO BELIEVED HALF TRUTHS WERE OK" could outsmart your educated candidate. Speaks volumes of her...

Maybe if she read it she could have been more informed.

That's it, if Obama is not nominated, I will vote for Nader.

Good Job OBAMA time to let her taste a little of her own medicine.

As my husband says, her claim of experience has a name BILL CLINTON.

I was an uncommitted voter, but now I am leaning more toward OBAMA 08!!!!!!!!!

We are not nominating a monkey.

CNN should post the memo; it's proof that Clinton's claims are untrue.

If a cook works in the Whitehouse for 8 years, does that make the cook qualified on national security issues?

In the end, it doesn't matter-it's about judgement and Obama has proven better judgement.

Go Obama!!

Tell people what your experience are, it seems like your candidate has nothing to show for and therefore he is always talking about things he did not do. Well, he not in congress when the vote to go to war was done, so who knows what he would have done, he could have voted present for all we know. It takes a strong person vote yes or no, it takes an inexprienced politician like obama to vote present. When people vote, it is YES or NO. We know you are in congress, please vote present. Stand for something. Till then, you lots of learning. 2016 if you will still be present in the political arena, maybe.

i am so glad to see obama is now immediately taking on all the charges thrown at him. from what i understand, it's not even protocol to call the president's private number; if something happens, the president is supposed to read a children's book while the big boys handle the sitation.

isnt the president's phone in his bedroom for private use only? i'm pretty sure i've heard that if something does happen in the middle of the night, one of his staffers enters the room. it's a stupid ad to begin with, i cant beleive people fell for that, and it's not accurate either. and i LOVE that the girl used is a staunch obama supporter; an easy mistake to make i know, but it's still funny to me.

i'm so disappointed in the clintons and their karl "el diablo" rovian ways! at first i thought it was really cool that we have a woman running. and i never saw why it's been considered a bad thing that in college they talked about how they would both be president. it would have been a cool thing to have a husband and wife who were presidents; certainly better thean the hideous father-son team we got stuck with. but the more i see of the clintons tactics, having burson-marsteller's president on their campaign team, hiding finances, etc. i am so disappointed in them.

the important thing is that we beat McSame, he cannot win. and his list of possible VPs is appalling--he's mentioned cheney (god help us all!!), and now clarence frickin thomas and joe lieberman?!?!? i say GO FOR IT, mccaine, pick more war-mongering bush/cheney lapdogs like yourself!

obama/edwards 08!!!!! THAT is the dream ticket!

Hillary = experience

Obama = rhetoric, arrogance, present and no show

your choice – priceless

Obama is not even a good Senator!!!

Clinton needs to hammer Obama more on being an all talk no substance candidate !!!

This is negative campaigning...it seems natural. Remember, they are ALL politicians...even the superficial savior.

hi

Obama would not be where he is if he were not black is true!

Everything Geraldine Ferraro said is right on..... Last time I checked we have the right to freedom of speech. She told the truth.

I suspect they will give the nomination to the black man for the same reason. What change? Just because some people do not say it in public – does not make it untrue.

Obama is pushed by Republicans who you are calling swing votes.... to disrupt the democratic party.... what a tactic.

I think people should search OUTSIDE of CNN to get facts. There are more than one references to Sen. Clinton's experience. One claim made may have been overstated, but in general, most are true. As far as the 3 am ad, if it was so bad, why did Obama turn right around and copy it? I find it funny everyone talking about the "red" phone, there was NO red phone anywhere in the ad. This whole thing has been blown way out of shape. If Obama would ever start to say anything except "I was against the war", maybe more people would pay more attention, we're sick of hearing the same thing and "copied" answers. No Obama, not ever, not even as VP. Too immature, too arrogant and wrong person for who our country NEEDS right now.

OBAMA SHOULD CONTINUE TO TEAR DOWN CLINTONS LIES ON BEING MORE EXPERIENCED.

TRUTH: OBAMA HAS MORE LEGISLATIVE EXPERIENCE.

TRUTH: CLITNONS EXPERIENCE HAS LED US INTO A WAR THAT HAS DEVESTATED OUR ECONOMY

TRUTH: CLINTON'S MILITARY SUPPORTERS ARE LOYAL TO BILL AND THUS POLITICS AS USUAL.

TRUTH: IF CLINTON WAS ALWAYS AGAINST NAFTA, WHY DID SHE NOT DO ANYTHING TO STOP AMERICANS FROM LOSING THEIR JOBS? (and what was Bill recently doing in Canada?)

OBAMA CAN DO WELL IN PA IF HE STICKS TO THESE TRUTHS AND
USES HIS SURROGATES TO FIGHT HER LIES!!

Perhaps PA will not be hoodwinked by her deceit as in Ohio.

ENOUGH IS ENOUGH!!!!

Obama is chair of a subcomittee. Its not like if they don't meet its the end of the world. Subcommitees do the work of Congress but they are not permanent. Commitees are the true work horses.

Obama is right, Hillary lacks the experience he does. Hillary lacks the experience in telling people in debates that NAFTA is evil and needs to be stopped while staff members tell Canada to ignore the rhetoric of the debates and NAFTA is secure. Obama has the experience to tell the American public one thing and do something else on foreign policy. The list goes on and on and on. However Obama supporters will never listen to it because they are too busy making history to look at who they are trying to put in office.

Yes that is experience I can believe in.

Hillary Clinton showed she has no grasp of history or global impact when it comes to U.S. involvement in a war. A leader who claims to have such insight should have known that going into war with an enemy you don't truly understand, a culture with very different values and goals than yours, and no definition of victory is at best reckless and at worst idiotic. The fact that Clinton could not see that a U.S. invasion of Iraq would throw the region into extreme turmoil and that we would essentially become stuck there simply proves that she is short-sighted and incapable of seeing our actions in a global context. She admitted not reading intelligence reports and buying into what Bush told the world. Hillary Clinton had her 3 a.m. call - and she made the wrong choice.

Hillary can no longer win this election. It's the math stupid.

Well Obama would be able to hold hearings on Afganistan if Hillary would just give it up and let him have the nomination. Then he could get back to his job. He is ahead in deligate count any way you look at it. Even if you add in Michigan and Florida results with no reprocussions to the voters in those states. There is no way the DNC will disenfranchise so many voters by blindly choosing clinton over the popular vote.

I just want to state one more thing. You staunch democrates on both sides that say you are going to vote for McCain if your candidate does not win are just being terrorists. There is no way the american people are going to respond to your comments with votes for your candidate. When the election comes around you WILL be voting for the democratic candidate, whoever they are.

Whatever experience Hillary has, it out weights Obama's experience.

For democrat's, Hillery need's to stay in this until they re-do,
if they do Michigan and Florida which will prove she's the the only
one who deserves the nonination.
Her quitting before the convention is the only way Obama can win.
Go Hillery 08

Cnn has had no problem discussing the Governor of New York, the cancer of a movie star disclosed by the Enquirer, why is Cnn quiet about the allegations about Obama's past discussed by the Enquirer as well. Only Fox News has had the courage to at least present the report. Why the bias?

Senator Clinton's foreign policy experience claim suffers from too much exaggeration. She is literally claiming a foreign policy experience for all foreign countries she visited as the first lady. But her direct involvement in foreign policy issues is very limited.

Republicans gave Hillary Texas and Ohio because they know she's easier to beat in the general election.

Obama/Richardson '08

Say what you will but the fact, from a comparative standpoint, is that Hillary has "more" relevant foreign policy experience than Barack. How much weight one applies to that issue vs. others is up to the voter.

Get real super delegates. Hilliary cannot win the nomination. The longer you delay, the more you damage the party. End it now, simply come out and support OBama publically.

That's right! Fight Obama! Fight!

Expose this fraud to the world!

Expose her ignorant supporters to the world!

Expose her bigots in the democratic party to the world!

Expose her white arrogant to the world!

Expose the changing of the rules in Florida and Michigan to help the white candidate to the world!

Thank goodness finally she is being put to the test on this vast experience. And an answer should not be that she was married to a governor/president.

The time has come for the Clintons to realize their day is done. She is behind in the polls and all this negitive politicing is ruining the Democratic party. She should admit defeat so Obama can focus on McCain. If she really wants to do what is best for our county, then she should exit gracefully and endourse Obama. Then he can choose Edwards as his running mate and waltz into the White House.

Obama/Edwards '08

Hey s.b.,

I sure hope Hillary isn't head of any sub-committee because she probably hasn't held any meetings either since last February.

Obama '08

Chris, what resume? The one as First Lady (twice), the one's where she voted for dedicating name sakes to monuments, or wait...the one where she said, she was involved in the Northern Ireland Peace Treaty, that was always repudiated, by someone who was actually in the process.

Help me out!!!!!!!!

the only experience that we really know hillary has is she is married to bill. it seems that he was giving her things to do so she would look like she has the experience she need. one thing is for sure obama is running against the clintons and not hillary clinton

Hilary where's your experience and tax forms i still don't seen them..
your hiding something so your not fooling anyone..

GO OABAMA 08

Greg Craig is an advisor for the Obama campaign. Does it really come as a surprise that he trashes the opponent of the candidate that he supports? More manipulation by the media, as if it wasn't already obvious from the article headline. Why is it that Clinton attacks or goes negative and Obama hammers? It's not that the writers of these articles don't know the connotations of what they are writing, they are doing it deliberately to manipulate you. Unfortunately it appears that most of you are falling for it. Looks like another eight years just like the last eight years, because Americans don't know how to think for themselves.

Yes, Hillary Clinton show us the resume of experience. Experience resume and your tax income papers.

yeah been interesting to see the black communities criteria for president this year...........

maybe we should do the same?

Let's see so Phil Singer, is Hillary spend doctor who failing at this job.
You can not give credit because lying before congress in support if her husband Impeachment trail. So, they trail out of the country to avoid the sex scandal that Bill Clinton was involve in state side.

I will accept Hillary's claim of 35 years (hostess) experience if any of you with cancer, agrees to see my cousin's wife, instead of my cousin who is an oncologist.

Hillary its time to step aside. You selfish and destructive. End your run with some diginity now!

It breaks my heart to see Americans disrespect Hillary after all she has done for this country. I am very dissapointed.

Barack is too full of himself. His arrogance lets me see what Americans will be in for if he becomes the nominee. But I pray not.

YOU CAN SEE THE FULL MEMO ON POLITICO IN BEN SMITH'S BLOG

That's right, if Obama wasn't Obama, and Hillary wasn't Hillary, things would be totaly different.

THANK YOU! It's about time someone questioned the 'experience' of Hillary Clinton in many areas. Let's see the proof. Frankly, if the way she is running her campaign is any indication of her 'experience' I don't want it! She has repeatedly used very poor judgement in what she has said and how she has conducted herself.

She is using Bush tactics by saying something so many times that it begins to be believed even though there is nothing to back it up.

I'll take sound judgment over experience any day...........look at Cheney and Rumsfeld....two of the most experienced political and administrative people alive today.......and what a mess!

The full memo is available on tpmelectioncentral.com. I'm impressed. The memo hits back hard and remains level headed and straightforward throughout. The full memo is worth the read.

Finally, the truth is coming out. I hope you Hillary supporters see the real Hillary. She's a lier, minipulator and a divider.

My vote goes to Obama.

Obama '08 '12

Somebody ought to give a map to the Clinton campaign. Obama headed a SUB-committee on European affairs. Last I checked, Afghanistan is not in Europe. Since NATO is not simply a European club, no hearings that Obama could have held would have any influence on NATO's involvement in Afghanistan. Hard to claim experience in foreign policy when you can't name the countries in Europe or NATO.

I am glad he is fighting back intelligently and not sinking to her dirty politics level. If anything, I will vote for him because he has common sense something that is lacking in the Clinton campaign.

Rep. George Michell said she was actually involved in the Northern
Ireland talk's with Bill and Gerry Adam's and that she really got the
women over there involved which really helped get an aggreement
worked out.
They got into detail on CNN last week so she has been involved in
a few thing's in foreign policy so Obama should just keep his big mouth shut.
The Northern Ireland piece agreement was one the greatest
accomplishment's of out time.

OBAMA DON'T HAVE INTERNATIONAL EXPERIENCE,HE IGNORE LATIN AMERICAN TRADE TREATIES,HE DON'T FOR SURE NOT EVEN HAW MANY LATIN AMERICANS COUNTRIES EXIST..
HE DOESN'T KENOW HOW TO FIX OUR ECONOMY,HE IS ONLY EXPENDING MILLIONS OF DOLLARS IN ADVERTIZING BELONG TO NAIVE DONATORS...IN PENSILVANIA HE WILL BE OUT OF THE RACE,OBAMA TOGETHER WITH KENNEDY AND KERRY..THEY NEVER WILL ABLE TO DEFEAT THE REPUBLICAN CANDIDATE..
HILLARY YES SHE CAN.

I think you are missing the point. Hiliary is not claiming she has a vast level of experience, she is simply reflecting the popular view that Obama lacks experience. When Obama makes broad claims about foreign policy like "I will meet with Cuba," when he claims what he is going to do and what is off the table, it reveals how naive his is about international politics. This is something I am sure Hiliary would not do, because she is not so naive. She has at least got some idea of how international diplomacy works and how foolish it would be to speculate what you would do, before being in the position and before being fully breifed on a specific international situation. Obama should be her VP because he needs more of this kind of experience before taking the helm. His own words reveal his lack of experience.

He is full of HOT air. What happened to his politics of HOPE?
Hillary 08

Yes Senator Clinton’s campaign is based on experience.

It’s way better than Obama’s campaign which is based on -- NOTHING!

Vote OBAMA 08! Hillary has been lying to herself and her followers... We all know even in her capacity as a first lady, she failed the president so woefully that he had to seek consolace in other women and get impeached for it. She might be experienced in something because of her age but definately not any experience to lead the free world in this new age! WE WANT CHANGE! YES WE CAN!

Thanks Senator Obama. Enough said . Let these self destructing ninnies on Sen. Clinton's side continue with ther ole' time devisive democratic machine crap. The new politics of the well informed, computer proficent, inclusive Obama supporters are ready to help our nation get back on the right track. NO WE WILL NOT CONSIDER HILLARY FOR VP!!!! THOSE DAYS OF THAT OF ATTITUDES WILL SOON BE ENDING!!!!

Obama, you are the choice of the people. Clinton is desparate because her feels the Country becomes to the Clintons. I wouldn't be surprised if the Clintons are groming their Chesea for the job of Commander-in-Chief

SHE WAS ELECTED THE FIRST TIME IN 2000, OBAMA WAS, AT LEAST IN ILLINOIS SENATE IN 1996, AND THEN US SENATE. SHE WAS JUST THE "FIRST LADY", HOW COME SHE CLAIMS EXPERIENCE ON FOREIGN POLICY? WHEN,WHERE?

AFTERALL, AFTER BLANDERS BY CHENEY, RUMSFELD, WOLFOWITZ AND POWELL ALL ADVISING BUSH, WHAT EXACTLY IS THE VALUE OF EXPERIENCE?

Craig is supporting Obama; that says it all.

Hillary 08.

Just because Hillary's been co-habiting with Bill does not give her Commander in Chief experience.

Tell the biggest lie loud enough and often enough and the people will believe you.

Time for truth no fiction, please release your tax returns Hillary.

Even if Clintons claims are false then how does it make Obama any more qualified? he as less or no experience, or is he going to talk everyone in agreeing with him?

Political bickering is typical. It was worse in 2004. The problem now is having these blogs that follow them to the shower and toilet so you now hear every whine.

And YOUR (obama) campaign is totally based on a vote the you NEVER HAD THE CHANCE TO CAST!!!!! AND LATER STATED THAT YOU "DIDN'T KNOW HOW YOU WOULD HAVE VOTED"!!!!!!!

GET A NEW SONG.....THIS ONE IS BECOMING TIRESOME......AND A PRE-CONGRATS ON THE MISSISSIPPI WIN TODAY...YET ANOTHER STATE THAT WILL NEVER VOTE DEMOCRATIC IN NOVEMBER.....WAY TO KEEP "WINNING" THOSE RED STATES!

GO HILLARY!!!!! THE MOST EXPERIENCED!!!!

I think CNN needs to hire new people who are fair to everyone posting comments!

What is next Hillary? Obama is not American! (probably coming on April 20th)

The American people are tired of corrupt and hypocritical politicians - Hillary go home! You know it is just a matter of time before Bill is busted!

CNN.. Seems lately you have fallen prey to senator Clintons "Charm".
She got trounced in Wyoming 61-38 but picked "good chunk of delegates" (5 to be exact). And you keep reminding us that she won in Texas but please, you have yet to tell us how many delegates she ended up winning in the state.
How come?

The Cinton campaign would put a smile on Joseph Goebbels face, long live the Fuerheress.

Does Obama have a better foreign policy? How much of his policy is different from what have been out there long before he became the senator. Is this campaign all about using the "new politics" trick to execute policy of the "old politics" that so many "old politicians" including Obama's superdelegates have been dedicating their lives to.
Is the "old politics" a negative term? It seems to hit all most every politician that back Obama. To claim and advocate the "new politics", please draw a line between you and the "old politics".

The American people are tired of corrupt and hypocritical politicians - Hillary go home!

Right, okay Obama's record is just "words"... yet what a "dream ticket" it would be to have him as VP.. oh but of course he'll be "seasoned by Denver".. and yet he's only "gotten this far because he's black"... hmm there is sooo much wrong with this picture that to even begin to put some logic to it would take years of psychoanalysis... and you want this woman to be your next president? Why?

The reason that I support Obama is that he never started anything negative, just responed to it and moved on. But a BULLY will never quit if the person does not stand up for himself. So I am glad that he has started to realize that if I take the high road all of the time, he will Lose. As my dear old grand father told me often, sometimes son, you have no choice, but to fight. OBAMA, now is that time brother. We, the people, in order to form a more perfect union, PICK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!
I know you can't change the world in 4 years, but electing an Afarican-American(SP?) is the starting point, I HOPE and PRAY that everyone see's this.
I'm a white male living in Virginia and serving the Military, just so you know who Obama's supporters really are. I guess I need to donate some more cash to Obama, as I have every month! I think I need to up the amount this time. Peace People!

so the obama supporters think they can win in November without the backing of the Clinton supporters and vice versa? this democrat doesn't think it's possible for either to win without the support of the entire party. so enough with the berating and bickering between the candidates, the voters, and the campaign staff. This behavior is unacceptable and annoying.

Hillary Clinton has made her "35 years of experience" the bedrock of her political campaign - and now she has to prove it. The Clinton campaign paid for the infamous "3 AM" advertisement with the claims that she is more equipped from a foreign policy perspective to answer the "red phone," (and subsequently credited it for her "winning" Texas and Ohio) and doesn't expect her record to be called into question by the Obama campaign and the press? Get real! You cannot have it both ways. You cannot tout all this experience in front of the American voters and then when the press and your opponent shows that it's all smoke and mirrors you feign outrage?! Where's Nell Carter...some needs to "gimme a break."

CNN Moderator: Please post my comments this time:
Among Clinton's foreign affairs and armed forces experience are two fact finding trips to Iraq where she rolled up her sleeves and waded in, talking about nitty-gritty issues with several generals and soldiers. Later, when a reporter asked those generals who they thought was knowledgeable and competent on the problems in Iraq, to a man they said, "You mean other than Hillary Clinton?" She has actively served on the Armed Forces Committee and had extensive diplomatic experience with world leaders during her tenure as first lady. She was not afraid to stand up to injustice anywhere in the world (including standing alone at a podium on a stage in front of thousands of Communist government leaders in Beijing and forcefully standing up for women's rights while denouncing the Chinese practice of drowning, smothering, or breaking the spines of babies because they were born girls. One might also consider her answer during the last debate about the man chosen as Putin's successor. She showed profound knowledge and depth of understanding when responding and all Obama could do is say something to the effect that he didn't have anything else to add to what Senator Clinton had said.

Wow Dave. That's pretty harsh but true (and funny).

I was listening to the BBC when a number of Irishmen who received awards for the peace talks were discounting her claims to have participated.

I do believe that she has probably been one of the most active first lady's of our country and of Arkansas. I just don't make the connection to that being commander-in-chief or even legislative experience. I wish them luck with it though, some people are buying it.

Hillary has no experience.

For someone that claims to want to "change" washington....he sure is starting to sound like a good ole politician! C'mon people....he's a weak whiner....I don't want someone like that in the White House! We need a fighter....GO HILLARY!!!

March 6th, 2008 4:55 pm ET

Hillary Clinton, is the only one that could brag about her experience.

She has had first hand foreign policy experience tied to being a first lady. She has walked the corridors of power while she reigned as the first lady. ALL the World loved the Clintons. This role as the first lady in a time that our country was thriving and well respected is "invaluable".

Wake up America!

VOTE FOR PROSPERITY

VOTE FOR LOVE AND PEACE

HILLARY RODHAM CLINTON is the PEOPLES CHOICE

OBAMA IS DESPERATE AND AMERICAN IS COUGHT UP WITH HIS RHETORIC.

Finally!!! The only thing Obama needs to do over the next 6 weeks is show that he's tough and that he can stand up to Hillary. If he does that, he'll be able to make a convincing case to the superdelegates that he can stand up to the GOP attack machine. The Clintons give him a perfect proving ground.

Don't back down Obama.

Obama is not straying from his original message. He has always said he would tell the American people what they needed to hear. This is not "going negative" or "hammering" as CNN would perhaps make it out to be, but it is merely introducing detailed distinctions between the other candidate's professed experience and her actual lack of said experience. Although he has 20 years of experience, Obama has never run on that platform. Hillary has. When she opens the door for examination of her claims, why not walk right in? If we do, might we find just a roomful of "empty rhetoric?" Funny–now whose record is "just words?"
Sure, we have doubts, Singer: about Hillary's ability to manage her campaign. And if we doubt that, shouldn't we doubt her claims of readiness?
We have no doubts about ourselves. And don't forget, WE are managing the campaign for the other guy. And we're doing a pretty good job. It will be nice to have our country back.

She can't or won't produce her own tax records and White House papers. We don't need another administration laden with secrets and feel they are above the law and try to exert executive privilege.

Just like Bush, Hilliary has a hidden agenda.

How is Barack Obama's message of 'hope and change' going to translate into anything real? Obama may lead you to think the entire world has transformed and knelt at his feet in the last year, pleading with him to lead us to the promised land, but i hate to burst the bubble: it hasn't. What is it that makes him think he can 'unite' anyone but his own supporters exactly? Even hillary's legislative record is much more bipartisan and unifying, where he's always somewhere out on the fringe.

Here in the rest of the world, Obama mania is waning. Increasingly, we find him arrogant, naive, holier-than-thou, creepily messianic, and a typical politician disgusing the inner ego-trip by whooping everybody up and making people believe its about 'Us' and 'We' when it is most definately all about HIM. Clever, but not an honest phenomenon, and he knows it.

AS EXPERIENCE, HILLARY CLAIMS RESPONSIBILITY FOR PLAYING ROLE IN THE IRELAND PEACE TREATY!

THE NOBEL PRIZE WINNER FOR THE IRELAND PEACE TREATY HAS SPOKEN AND HE SAYS THAT HILLARY "DID NOT" PLAY ROLE IN THE TREATY AND HE FINDS IT VERY SILLY ON HER PART TO EXAGGERATE SUCH A POINT!

SO MUCH FOR THAT EXPERIENCE PIECE!

HILLARY NEEDS TO ADDRESS THE ISSUE OF BILL CLINTON'S BUSINESS DEALINGS WITH THE CHINESE GOVERNMENT AND A CONVICT! BILL CLAIMS HE HAS NO WAY OF KNOWING WHO IS A CONVICT AND WHO IS NOT!!

I second that: Why don't you post the memo or a link to the memo????

Hillary , the monster, is a farse. Almost everything about her is fake. I wonder if she is also Made in China.....

Hey, Senator Obama, In what position you are qualify to question Senator CLinton's experience?

It's your campaign slogan that you're different and against washington. Hi, I tell you a news: You are running for Washington!

Being the wife of a nuerosurgeon does not make you qualified to conduct brain surgery, why does being the wife of an ex president make you qualified to be one? In the very limited exposure Shrillary has had to actually being able to make a difference on her own, she has made dreadful mistakes. So her judgement is sound when Bill is around only? So this will then be a co presidency? Might as well make Bill run again, since in essence thats all that would be happening, at least he is more straight talking than this scheming, coniving, shrill, whining specimen of a woman! I am a woman and am extremely offended by the stereotype she is confirming of women in general.

True, Obama has not been in 'office' too long, but I would rather back a horse that hasn't taken a tumble a few hundred times than back one who has fallen multiple times in the past, and present! Chances are pretty darn good that many more tumbles are along the way. Oh wait, claiming you did not read the intelligence memo is now an acceptable reason for making a wrong decision to support the war – if you were in the 5th grade!!! If your only job is to read such memos and make such decisions, all it means is that you have no idea how to do your job. If she makes such glaring mistakes as a senator, what in the ham sandwich can we expect of her as a president?

GoBama!!!

Hillary Clinton receives high marks on the national security test, when Hillary Clinton grades the national security test.

Hillary Clinton is a monster, liar, liar, pant suit on fire.

Obama has no right to talk about Hillary's foreign affairs experience.
I am not convinced that Obama can deliver on his promises. Like in 2007, he basically dropped everything to focus on the elections. He ignored his responsibilities as a sub-committe Chairman on Afghanistan, while he was touting his opposition to the war and that he will attack Pakistan (try to digest that if you are a muslim). All what he did in 2002 is to give an obscure speech which was followed by inaction. On an important issue of this kind, and if you knew better, shouldn't he have gone further and led a movement to oppose the war and lives? You see, this is Senator Obama's problem; he does not have what it takes to carry the ball to the finish line. He is eloquent; but that is not enough.

Since when being the wife of a president makes somebody expert in foreign matters. Most presidents , all around the world, always travel with their wife. Does that make their wife experienced in foreign policy. Please, Hillary, give me a break.

hey Hilary when did you become the teacher that tested the candidates on who could be the Commander in Chief.. Where are your experiences and tax forms i still don't see them how come you are exposing everyone and making you look like a saint.. You get real , cause right now your only fooling those that are still living in the past.. WE NEED CHANGE WE WANT CHANGE THE PEOPLE OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA HAVE ALREADY CHOSEN THEIR NOMINEE !!! deal with it... I'm from florida and don't agree you should count us because we new ahead of time that we will be excluded but we moved up the date anyways... I wonder if it was states you haven't won in this position would you have fought this hard for them i think not.. your only worried about the states that are most of a convenient to you.. stop being so fake and let the people choose not the superdelegates..

.. Mr. Obama please tell us what is your experience to be a Commander-in-Chief ? from talking? from hope and dream speeches? Most the speeches you have given to the public so far sound very much like your speech 4 years ago at Demorat convention for John Kerry! Thanks goodness, you can't fool me a second time Mr. Blahhblaahhh!

Foreign eperience you do have more, after all your a Christian.

So go do some foreign experience, in your little heaven Mr Obama.

Spend a few years down there.....

Hillary is a five year member of the Armed Services Committee.

The significant support that she's received from 35 U.S. generals directly stems from her work on this committee. They obviously know her and her capabilities.

By contrast Obama has chaired the Senate subcommittee on Europe, which is responsible for NATO's presence in Afghanistan for 14 months! And in this period of time he has called NO meetings. NONE.

U.S. soldiers are dying in Afghanistan, Al-qaeda is active in Afghanistan, and Obama simply cannot be bothered to do anything. It’s simply astonishing.

If Obama was going to completely abdicate his responsibility as chair of the Senate subcommittee on Europe because he was going to be too busy out on the campaign trail he should have resigned his position.

Words, just words.

AMERICANS March 11th, 2008 10:38 am ET
Your comment is awaiting moderation.
Americans this is the time for everybody to wake up and fight to retrieve our national pride once again,America of all,has come to be a world target of all evils,propelled by G.W.Bush who has the same evil mind that i found out in Rodham Clinton,a woman who knows and calls a fellow being and politician a man with a poor background and pretends she loves the million of people with poor backgrounds.

Oh, my, my. I find it astonishing that supporters of any candidate would not have taken the simple step of reading EACH candidate's website at least. But, no, we go in lock-step for our own candidate, repeating back the pablum we are offered by the candidates and our friends.

Hillary Clinton's record is astonishingly accomplished. LOOK IT UP. Obama's derisive "having tea" remark about her meetings with world leaders and address on women's rights in China is just ignorant. It diminishes him. He has no relationships, whatsoever, with world leaders, and many are highly suspicious of him.

I am so please for this response, Wonderfull.

I am extremely tired of this back and forth between Hillary and Obama. Has she done her job as Senator of NY while on the campaign trail? I think not! Barack has support on the committee to make the votes count. Come on now.....when you are running for any type of office, the focus will be on campaigning. Maybe Hillary needs to go help her Governor climb out of the hole he fell into yesterday. She knows a lot about a cheating husband...she stood by Bill, NOW That’s Experience she definitely has.

Rather than tear down Hillary about her supposed lack of experience, why don't you tell us YOUR experience Obama? People tell me that Obama is doing politics different, but they can't seem to admit that he plays the game just like the rest of them. As long as he can win states, he plays all nice, but as soon as he starts to lose, you be he'll do whatever he needs to start winning again.

I'm not saying that I'm for one or the other, but just trying to point out the obvious to people. It's politics!!

The fact remains that Obama will not be effective toward the situation in the middle east and he can never claim to know what it's like to live in poverty. He and his wfe grew up privileged and at the moment it comes down to the issues and on that note Clinton is much clearer and has deffinitely gotten it done in New York. What has Obama done for his state besides being behind one bill that had nothing to do with Illinois.

I'm in absolute awe that Democrats might actually be on the verge of snatching defeat from the jaws of victory for the third presidential election in a row!

Tear on, Cintons! Tear the party apart to satisfy Hillary's ego. Because this election is clearly only about her, not America.

All of the divisiveness between the Obama camp and the Clinton camp is like sweet nectar for John McCain, not to mention Karl Rove!

I actually prefer Obama but McCain will certainly do just fine by me. On a 1 to 100 scale, with Obama being 100, McCain is about an 88, and Hillary is at best a 3.

Obama/Edwards , a team that has dignity. Billary not only threw the kitchen sink but she risked her character. She is a desperate, whinning, power hungry , corporate politician.

Well, I'm just an old country boy with little experience in politics, but I will say that if Hillary Clinton has so much experience in politics, Why is this country in the shape that its in. If she was still on the board at Wall mart and their company was in the shape the country is, she would have been fired years ago, especially for supporting NAFTA. Its also hard to keep both eyes focused on the country when a lot of your time is spent on what your husband is doing.

Hillary lies exposed. She does not have any foreign policy she is lier you can not change a ho to a housewife.

obama needs to do both to focus on original message and to pointout the difference,on what she is relying on foreign policy ,because only and the most experience she have is being a first lady and travel the world and shook alot of hands, and if that was enough to make her president, all former first ladies would have to become resident

However you want to size-up Clinton's experience, it is still 1000 times more than Obama's, and better to have that than the nothingness that Obama brings to the table.

If Hillary was my Sec. of State instead of Henry, we'd still be in
Vietnam.

.

The very simple truth is that none of them has really any meaningful either foreign nor defense experience.

TOM

Among Clinton's foreign affairs and armed forces experience are two fact finding trips to Iraq where she rolled up her sleeves and waded in, talking about nitty-gritty issues with several generals and soldiers.

About that 3 am phone call...

Will the phone be on Bill's side of the bed?

atimebandit, Obama is not only staying on point he is also scrutinizing what "experience" Hilary claims she really has. Just cuz she looks old and has been the wife of a President does give her experience, I am sorry.
Fire away Obama, sometimes you gotta fight back enough with this nice guy thing. Fight back!

Can anyone calculate the voters state by state? I do think Hillary won more voters but less delegates now. Because in the big state, a pledged delegate represents more voters than in the small state. And in the primary, a pledged delegate represents more voters than in the caucuse.

Dave's point is exactly right (and a funny way to make the point, too!).

Obama, you ahve more experiences in your fancy speeches.

Hello, Clinton is talking about experience can i give a simple example just look at our work place A 20 year experience one or 2 year experienced one perform good . I will say the 20 year will only say i got 20 years experience and the major part of the work is done by the 2 year experienced ones . Just think ...........................

I'm glad to see he is finally challenging Hillary's exaggerated experience claim. Also glad to see him do it in a way that specific to her record rather than being disrespectful to her personally. She sure hasn't shown him the courtesy of respect. Thank Barack! Just remember to stay on your original message as well. It's a good one.

Hillary has forced Barack to go on the offensive with her over-claims as to her own qualifications and I think many people are happy to see Barrack take off the gloves against the mean-spirited, talent-starved Hillary. Alright, Barrack...You go, guy!

This is so trite!!

One professional politician with no credible executive experience–derailing about an opponents similar lack of credible executive experience.

The define is indeed found in the absurd!!

Hey folks–neither of you have what it takes!!

I LOVE IT!!!

OBAMA '08!!!

Obama has no experience – period!! Whatever he claims Hllary has or does not have is still more than him.

Dave March 11th, 2008 10:53 am ET

"The other day the sink in my kitchen started leaking so I called my plumber's wife to come take a look at it.

I can't figure out why she couldn't fix it."

HAHAHAHA Well said Dave.

Obama is trying to expose Clinton for what she really is. A potential employee that is lying on her resume. I know what I do when I find out a potential employee has lied or exaggerated on their resume; that is I don't hire them.....hint hint.

But atimebandit is right, Obama needs to make sure he don't lose his message in all this mess. Stay the course. It has taken you this far, don't fix what is not broken.

atimebandit. I disagree with you. This is a point in the debate that Hillary has persuaded the people. Obama must prove that she is all talk. As first lady and senator she didn't have the authority to do all she says she has. His campaign workers can dig up the info and he can stick with his message. He just has to make sure the facts are straight because the Clintons are shrewd. He should also point out all of the other "inexperienced" Presidents that were elected. Ronald
Reagan, Bill Clinton and others and that judgement outweighs experience.

Obama-bots want to connect Hillary to the scandals, but not the successes of the Clinton years? Obama has been campaigning for President since becomming a Senator. The committee he chaired has had zero meetings on the Al Qaeda in Afghanastan. He missed the vote on Iran, hit the wrong button on others. What if he is the President and hits the wrong button?

So, is Hillary Clinton implying she was in on Bill's foreign policy decisions when he was POTUS? Sheesh, who elected her anyway?

I understand that responding to Clinton takes him off message but it is clear that Clinton is not going to allow people to ignore her. He has to put the dampers on this to nuetralize her for this strategy is working.

If he destroys this arguement, and I think he can, this may finally end Hillary's run for I am convinced more than ever that she wants to be presidents for herself, not the American people.

I have been saying this for a long time...Clinton' s foreign policy is Bill Clinton and she might as well say that because that is what she is portraying...I mean yeah she visited 80 countries but she was never directly involved in anything directly...there was a AP story on this over the weekend...Let's here the experience? They have the Muslim countries in there pockets...Bill is giving Qatar and Oman advice and giving speeches over there that is why they wont release White House papers and the W-2 because of the Middle East influence in there campaign...come on people and yall thing OBAMA is tied to the Middle East...wakeup...GOOGLE Hilary UnCENSORED..

What has she done in foreign policy that had a major effects in the world and that proved long lasting?

And CNN acts as the stenographer for the slimey Clinton campaign. It is time for you so-called journalists at CNN to research their false claims, and not repeat their lies.

Obama is just like every other politician... he says that he is running a good campaign and wants to change old politics... all he has done this week is attack Senator Clinton... How is he any different than her... Senator Obama you need to stop... this is weakening your claim to be running a "good" campaign... it is starting to look like you are getting desperate for votes... I do not understand why you are starting to question her experience... it is a known fact that she has been very active in the political ring... she could have easily retired from the arena after Bill was done as president... she instead ran for a Senate seat and continued working because she was upset over health care...

I am starting to wonder if I voted for the wrong candidate... you are starting to show that you lack experience and you might not be ready to be president!!!

I think at this point Hillary should drop out of the race. Here is my reasoning, if the race continues as it's been going she won't have more normal delegates at the end of this thing. Barack Obama looks like he's going to have the most normal delegates, he may not have the magic number of 2025, but he'll have the most. If Hillary really does succeed in attracting more super delegates, even if she hasn't won the majority of the normal delegates, and she gets the nomination we have a real problem. She would be subverting the will of the people, create a skism in the democratic party, and probably lose the general election because of it. I think for these reason Hillary should drop out.

Thanks

Eric Sievering

Great story, thanks for posting.

Clinton supporters should put an end to claims that Obama has failed to hold a single hearing of his subcommittee on Afghanistan. John Kerry is chairman of that committee. Obama's subcommittee's responsibility is Europe. Enough of the lies!

Hey Hillary, I didn't know you were the test proctor for the Commander-In-Chief's Exam. America is still waiting for your own test results, experience and ability to be Commander-in-Chief. You hoped to baffle America with those 35 general officer's support, rather than come out with your true qualifications. My grandmother told me long ago, that the truth requires no support but, a LIE always has to be supported with more lies.

The 3AM ad would in fact suggest that an OBAMA – RICHARDSON ticket is the way to go!

The MENAGE A TROIS proposed by Bill Clinton and Hillary Clinton would be better directed in private to Elliot Spitzer. He too seems to fancy the seedy side.

Mike

Obama get a life, you have little to no foreign policy experience, Hillary is ready to lead on "DAY ONE". You do your dirty politics by sending out fliers so voters won't know you will do or say anything to get elected.

You gotta love how Obama is going to claim that the other candidate doesn't have enough experience. And that all she has are words claiming to have experience. HA! What world is he living in?

Well said Mr.Singer!!! Obama is so focused on becoming President he has forgotten about his current job!! Voting present is the lame duck approach. "I won't take a stand so I can go with how the public feels about it later" that is what Obama's whole political record has been about...Yeah I know he was against the war from the begining but it's easy to take that stance when you couldn't vote on it anyway!! But if you look at his record since being a Senator his voting record on Iraq is alot like Hillary's. He has not served a full term as Senator yet, you can't put your eye on the big prize until you have paid your dues and Obama you just don't have the experience yet.

I agree. Stick to your own message: Hillary needs Obama to go negative and sink to her level... she won't be able to garner a nomination without a majority. She is making the weak argument that because she won big states during the primary season, Obama can't win those states in the general election: huge logic gap. please drop out now, Clinton.

how about at the very least running through some actual points of the memo? cnn seems to do a good job of typing up clinton's talking points verbatim without checking facts and here the work's even done for them AND it's based on actual history.

It's about time.

Gotta love this "no experience" garbage that Hillary and her supporters are trying to throw at Obama. Bill Clinton was just about the same age when he was elected in 1992, and what was his big experience – serving as governor of Arkansas? Not even a big state, but a small state? But they considered his lack of experience a good thing back then, because Bush 41 was "out of touch" and we needed "change" in Washington. So why all of a sudden does this artificial "experience" standard exist for Obama? It's a double standard, unless they want to admit that their own Bill Clinton was unprepared to be president in 1992, and want to discuss his long list of screwups. That is their argument's logical conclusion.

But if you do want to hold Obama up to this fake "experience" standard, well, then, he's held elected office longer than Hillary has. So put that in your pipe and smoke it!

Yes, it's only fair to have the candidates compare their foreign policy experience. I agree that both candidates come out publicly with what they consider to be foreign policy experience and what they've acomplished. I do think that Obama will come out way behind Clinton on this one as he has nothing to fall back on.

I agree that Clinton has never had a "red phone" moment such as needing to decide whether to invade a country or decide to give anmesty to a foreign political figure who is being persecuted by his/her government or something of that nature, but no one except the President has had that red phone moment. On the other hand, it also doesn't mean that the experience she has had when she was in the White House doesn't count. Like it or not, she has had experience dealing with foreign affairs/policy when she was in the White House.

It's hardly fair to compare her to Laura Bush or Ladybird Johnson when those women went out of their way to avoid dealing with political issues that mattered so as not to offend anyone. Hillary could be compared to Eleanor Roosevelt, who deliberately inserted herself into politics to fight for what's right....even though it made her some enemies just as it has made Hillary some enemies.

Clinton's "commander in chief credentials" are no less evidenced than Obama's "bring everyone together" credentials. He claims to be the one best suited for working with people from all points on the political continuum, but an objective look at their political and legislative histories shows that Clinton is as willing and able to work with people of other political persuasions as he is,

The time has come for Obama to withdraw from the election. He is not qualified to serve as President or Vice President. He is largely a community activist and a fade, like the hula hoop.

Hillary Clinton has an incredible resume, the intellect and knowledge to lead the USA and make the world a better place. Her foreign policy experiences are much greater then the other candidate.

Obama needs to continue to press Hillary. she will continue to show her true colors and will turn many off. her latest joke is this whole "dream ticket" she and Bill are yapping about. and she comments that obama isn't ready to be president but could be VP?? was she born yesterday? the VP has to be presidential material, too, as they are a heartbeat away from the presidency. typical moronic Clinton spin. go away Illuminati fools. no more Bush/Clinton rule/regime. 20 years is way too much.

On the Geraldine Ferraro comments..

is absolutly right, and many poeple agree with her, but not all of them speak up about it..

right time, right place that 's what really happening to Mr. Obama, and nobady since to paid attention a the big picture...

"It’s tough to see how Senator Obama can tout his commitment to the military when he couldn’t be bothered to hold a single policy hearing on Afghanistan."

News Flash-sub-committes do not hold policy meetings on regions outside of their charter. Obama chairs the sub-committee for Central European Affairs. Does Hillary's minion know where Afghanistan is?

News Flash- The full committe has held numerous hearings regarding Afghanistan.

News Flash-Compare Obama's legislative record on National Security, and veteran's issues against Hillary's.

News Flash-Obama leads in the popular vote! The majority of voters in the primaries don't seem to have any doubts about Obama.

...and would Hillary be this far in the campaign if she were not a woman? Does it go both ways. Frankly, when I first realized Obama was the candidate I wanted to support his color was oblivious to me. It just didnt occur to me. I was so taken with his message. It has been, from the beginning, the Clintons who have interjected it into the race.

How many people are supporting Hillary just because it is our best shot for a few years to have a woman in the white house....no matter who the woman is?

OBAMA is the FrontRunner! Time to shift support to Obama and get ready for the general election. It's now time to bow out with dignity Hillary.

OBAMA '08

Right,.,, Obama stay on message

ok , enough is enough..I have nothing against Barack Obama but he is in his first term as a senator and quite frankly has missed most of it because of campaigning. Hillary did vote for the war based on the INFORMATION PROVIDED BY THE IDIOT IN THE WHITE HOUSE WHO BELIEVED HALF TRUTHS WERE OK. OBAMA WAS NOT A SENATOR AT THE TIME!

SNL forgot the last screen of their Obama/Hillary 3 am call. That being the scary looking Hillary calling a sleeping McCain for his advice to give to the falling apart "President Obama".

Ha Ha!!

Hillery should dry her eyes. The white House is no place for cry babies. Get real and get our of the race she has been out maneuvered by one much smarter than she is.

Obama thinks that visiting other countries on vacation, qualifies him to have foreign policy experience? Hillary has already helped more people all over the world,than he could do in two lifetimes.

Well as all good liars know if you repeat a lie often enough and you get others to repeat it for you it becomes accepted as a truth because "everyone" knows it is true. Good job Mr. Obama for calling her on this oft told tale, wish you had started calling her out on it earlier but I know YOU tried to make the campaign about issues and not candidates after the results of Ohio, where the voters showed it wasn't about issues but perceptions, I guess you have to start fighting the perceptions...

okay so when you were inevitible you "respected her experience and didn't want to tarnish it" but now that she's won a few contests you're going to disgrace her good name! YOU MY FRIEND ARE POLITICS AS USUAL if you're going to criticize other people's campaigns take a look in the mirror and get lost!

Um, when you are clearly the less experienced candidate, it is not a good idea to base your attack on saying that your opponent lacks experience!!! Neither is as strong with foreign policy experience vs. McCain. But Hillary clearly has more than Obama- and Obama looks silly trying to "attack" (powderpuff punch) on this issue! He has clearly been listening to the talk show pundits...

»»ENOUGH of Clintons in the White House!!...Hillary "Annoying" Clinton is NOT good enough to be President. NO MORE Clintons in the White House!...ENOUGH!!...VOTE for Obama,vote for John McCain or even for Indiana Jones!...ANYONE BUT Hillary Clinton.

So what is his foreign policy experience?

you hammer her experience when Obama is nr 99 in junior senators..Obama says expeerience doesnot matter so why mention her experience....go to dc and vote present or push the wrong button when voting thats Obama's experience

It's not negative if it's true!!

Obama '08 Yes We Can!

If we operate under Clinton's argument of foreign policy experience... Laura Bush is equally qualified. How's that for a terrifying thought?

Ms. Clinton, you'll have to excuse me if trying to motivate women's groups in Ireland, "opening borders" a day after they are opened in Kosovo, and condemning human rights violations in China (with no real effect, obviously) .... don't exaclty send a strong message of "foreign policy experience" to me.

It's about time the Obama campaign started calling attention to Hillary 's absurd "35 years of experience" claim. Being First Lady doesn't entitle her to claim vicarious credit for President Clinton's foreign policy achievements - and it certainly doesn't make her better prepared to handle a 3:00 a.m. crisis.

A suggestion for the Obama campaign: Call into question Hillary's "experience" on domestic issues as well (such as her botched handling of a historic opportunity to achieve universal healthcare, which cost the Democrats control of Congress in 1994).

Quit calling it experience! She has no judgement, no experience, no foreign policy agenda.... she has but one agenda: destroy Barack Obama in 2008 so she can run in 2012 as the "I told you so" candidate.

i read the memo and is very accurate every one of her stories have been debunked......i want to know what she is going to answer about her faux experience now.......

Did he happen to mention what his experience was in that memo? Or was he simply putting her down?

I read a post on some random blog from a women who said that just because her husband coached basketball doesn't make her qualified to coach basketball.

My response: If you ate, drank and breathed basketball along side you husband for 8 years, you most certainly WOULD be qualified to coach basketball.

The same is true of Hillary and the Presidency. And yet, there is so much more to her than that alone.

Isn't it great that Hillary is going to be the next President of the United States of America??!!??

I can only see John McCain as the next President of the U.S.A.

Obama could have had foreign policy experience if he had bothered to convene a meeting even ONCE, while a member of the senate. But he's been too busy running for President on one speech he made in 2002.

This man criticising her foreign policy experience is a joke.

He has none.

tha facts are the facts .. i just heard the she spoke to king jordan , and he tell her how the middle east are running. i guess she is the president and nobody know it. and by the way i think some prime minister from ireland have a commnet on went she said the she help to bring peace and the prime minister said the she was just following bill clinton the she dindt help at all. i guess went you lie is the same of having experience.

Obama needs to get back to the point. Forget about what Hillary does or says. She is desperate. He needs to focus on his original message again.

Good for you Obama.
Fight back, the Clinton dirty machine have been attacking you for too long.
She has more skeletons in her closet and more negatives. If she wants a fight, give her one.
Remind America of the the scandals and corruption that has plagued the Clinton's.
HILLMCCAIN IS JUST AN EMPTY PANT SUIT WHO WANTS TO FOOL AMERICANS INTO VOTING TO HER AT WHATEVER COST.

Obama/Edwards '08

I love the truth. Why doesn't CNN post the full text of the memo? It pretty much shreds apart Clinton's claims fact by fact, point by point. But, oh wait, when has CNN ever served as a source of -information-?

'08bama!

Back and forth, back and forth. . .
This is like trench warfare in World War I. Neither side is going to give and it's going to be a long struggle.

Hillary's foreign policy experience claim or her overall experience claim is the largest political fraud in recent history. I am surprised that it has taken the Obama campaign so long to point out that "The emperor has no clothes on!"

The media is still bamboozled by Hillary's claim. Repeating it 100 times does not make a false claim true.

Six more weeks of this and the Democrats won't stand a chance against John McCain. When will the Democratic Leadership lead? Wait? They haven't done their job in Congress, why would we expect them to show leadership for their party? Wonder who they will blame when they lose to McCain in November?

Obama hasnt made any claims on experience because neither have the experience. Sitting in the background while Bill ran the show is NOT experience. I believe Obama will handle foreign policy with tact, respect, dignity, professionally, friendly without lies, deceit, manipulation, favors, deals, donations, like the clintons do.

Do you all remember China contributed to Bills campaign and then while he was in office he sold them military technology?

THis is what will happen with Hillary. This is NOT the way to run a foreign policy!!

What experience ??

This bickering has got to stop!

A campaign is nothing but words...Obama is not the only one giving speeches...he just delivers them better!

Obama is not the only one who has asked this question. Clinton's spokesman Phil Singer missed an opportunity to put the issue to bed by not providing details about Clinton's foreign policy experience. It is a legitimate question since she has based her campaign on this issue.

Clinto is not fit to commander and chief. She is thinking that the White house is hers, because it is an inheritance. Why don't she release the 35 years of experience records for all to see.

I am really interested in what she really did, apart from being the first lady. She is not entitled to be president and have not earn the job?

OBAMA "08"

CNN – WHY DON'T YOU POST THE MEMO? IT IS ON OTHER NEWS SERVICES AND IT IS QUITE DETAILED. IS THIS ANOTHER INSTANCE OF YOU SUPPORTING THE CLINTONS? I THINK SO AND WHEN OTHERS READ THE MEMO, THEY WILL AS WELL. IF YOU DON'T PICK UP THE MEMO, YOUR COMPETITORS WILL AND WE WILL ALL KNOW THEN JUST HOW GREAT YOUR POLITICAL TEAM IS.

The other day the sink in my kitchen started leaking so I called my plumber's wife to come take a look at it. I can't figure out why she couldn't fix it.

Where is the proof that Obama can deal with National Security issues? Where? Because he talked against voting for the Iraq war yet supported Bush in many other ways? Who is he kidding? He's kidding and manipulating a lot of so called higher educated people who preen and praise themselves because they got a B.A. or a higher degree yet they can't even think for themselves! Poor babies, they have to pay off their student loans and no one wants to hire them because they are little robots who have to have a cheerleader for a president!!! Ha haahashahahahahahha!

I'm glad to see the Obama campaign finally pointing out the fraudulent claim that Hillary Clinton has all this foreign policy experience. Based on the Clinton logic I should be allowed to perform surgery because my dad was a neurosurgeon and I often watched him prep for surgery and talked to him about it afterwards.

Hillary has seriously inflated her claims to foreign policy experience, just ask Nobel Peace Prize winner Ahern who called her claims that she negotiated the Northern Ireland accords "silly".

But then telling grandiose lies to get into the Whitehouse has always been the Clinton path.

Please enough with the policy hearing nonsense!! Obama was a leader of a SUB-COMMITTEE, which means absolutely nothing in the Senate!! This might mean something to the uninformed but most can see right past this bologna!!
