Why is Obama still here?

The man sold out his pastor, grandmother, Ohio, Canada and everyone else for his political ambitions.

The polls show that Obama cant win against McCain and McCain cant win against Hillary.

Take the hint Obama and leave!

Don't see the point of attacking McCain at this stage, even if the indepedents run to him after Democratic party picks its nominee, he still doesn't have enough conservatives to vote for him.

That is what they should have been at, not fighting themselves.

I love how afraid they are of Mc Cain, they know darn well he is not another Bush they just keep saying that so people will think it is true so MAYBE they have a chance to beat him. In time Mr Mc Cain will show them what he is about and shut down this "4 more years of the same" argument.

What are your plans? You surely don't expect to win with, I did not vote for the war, and anti-Bush, we're all anti Bush. Please, don't just repeat what HIllary has already said she would do. Try to have an original idea.

Obama to the White House. Keep on! Question their position. Hammer on issue. Concentrate on Economy and War. One comes as the consequence of the other.
Nganenu

Good for Obama. Forget Clinton, she is insignificant..we all know she will lose unless she tries something dirty and start changing rules. Obama should focus on McCain and not Hillary.

Barack Obama for President

I really doubt Obama's brain!

I guess the reason Why Mr. Obama keeps lying in front of us is just because his brain has been damaged. Maybe he does not intentionally lie.. Oh! God. Poor Obama……….

Obama, please go back to your vacation and wish you never come back again!

People seem to forget Democrats are tough….we'll duke it out….nominate a winner and then team up against McCain.

This is just the warm up….we'll be ready for McCain…..the question is………..IS McCaine ready for us?

Obama is starting to look very unappealing. I have always been a Clinton supporter, but I used to look up to Obama and think that he was a cool guy, but now he just looks like another politician. I cant even vote for him now if he is in the General Election and im black. I look at McCain like he is a democrat. To me, McCain is still a democrat. McCain has lots of ties in the democratic party so it will be very easy for him to branch out over party lines. If not Hillary, then McCain. Sorry, but I am not the "Typical Black Person".

Obama is not the black man who will be elected. His pastor of 20 years pretty much did him in. He has no experience, knocking on doors in Chicago hardly qualifies someone to be president. while Hillary did overexaggerate the experience in Bosnia, at least she was in a war zone. Has Obama ever been to Afghanastan, he is the committee chair on those activities, is he not? where is his experience? Did he bother to show up and vote on the Iran issue? What, besides great speeches has he done? CNN should know more about him then the rest of us, start naming some of his great accomplishments for the rest of us

@Chris

How is she changing the rules Chris!?! Florida and Michigan are not voting! Obama was the one talking about how the superdelegates should go with the will of the people! If so, then looks like Kerry, Kennedy, and Richardson are not playing by the Obama Law. Looks like you and Obama do not have a brain. How about Obama get a back-bone and attack Clinton himself instead of having Burton do all his dirty work.!!

Obama is right by attacking McCain because Hillary and Bill are busy destroying themselves as well as the democrat party. We are tired of the Clinton's tactics and won't vote for Hillary anyway. These Clinton's have too much baggage and why would anyone want to bring old dirty baggage back into the White House, it's like taking back a spouse you divorced.

Anyone can criticize. It takes a real man or woman to do. The only thing you have changed in this campaign is my mind not to vote for you. You are not fit to shine McCain's Military Boots, must less be President of this Great Nation. Semper Fi..

I never counted McCain out because he has everything no other Republican has. He's tough as an old bird. But for how long?

Those of you suggesting that Obama drop out or leave (mike and I love clinton) and talking about his brain??? are simply foolish. I really wonder what your true intent and motivation is. It's quite puzzling. He is leading! So why would there be any mention of him dropping out?

MUSIC TO MY EARS, C'MON GUYS HE'S THE TARGET NOT EACH OTHER.

Mike,

What you’ve just wrote is one of the most insanely idiotic things I have ever read. At no point were you even close to anything that can be considered a rational thought. Every one in this blog is now dumber for having read it.

You Can't!! Mr Obama..
When did you serve in "The Armed Forces," for the USA .

When did you ever put you're life on the line …
Old Soldiers Never Die…. You're already Dead…
On what grounds could you hope to win??? Foreign??

You're the Foreigner. Not just you're policies., of which you have none.

But You!!!! The USA is not you're Home..
Just an excuse for Power..

Mike:

It is Hillary who has a 43% trust and likability rating compared to McCain and Obama in the 60% and above range, so you may want to ask her and yourself how she plans to reverse a trend that had been constant before she announced her candidacy and is nosediving now that people are realizing (and she continues proving) she's much worse than they initially thought she was.

Not only was she wrong about Iraq because she didn't bother reading the intelligence report (oops!), but she can't even lie her way out of a "war story" of which she's told three different versions. Now we are supposed to believe anything that she says when her version of the truth is constantly changing. But that would depend on what the meaning of "is" is.

"CNN should know more about him then the rest of us, start naming some of his great accomplishments for the rest of us"

You know, maybe you should be quiet and chill because he does appear on Cnn.com on the video. And for the record, don't you have a computer???? So, what are you doing???? Look up more info, learn what is said, talk about an issue and for the record, if you have a question, you could send him one on his website! His speech today was a bit different than before, that I can tell you…..

Thank you Willie. I am an Hispanic in Arizona and have many African American friends that are not Obama supporters. McCain is Republican in name only. Just look at his ideas and who his supporters have been. Many traditional Democrats and Moderate Republicans understand where McCain is coming from. He like us loves this Country and we will not allow it to be torn apart by anyone, Black or White.

Obama is clueless, I will never vote for him.

John McCain is a sell-out who will do or say whatever it takes for votes. Barack Obama is a REAL man - McCain is a has-been political hack.

BTW, my late father was a Marine, and I know he would agree with me if he were here today. Semper fi yourself.

Hillary lost.

Congrats Senator Obama on your Democratic nomination. On to beat McBush.

Obama 08

This sounds like he is getting desperate. I think Obama can handle Hilary's attacks. She can't handle her own lies. I misspoke. Be a real commander in chief and say I misled the American people. At least Obama has humbled himself and stood up to all the controversy surrounding Mr. Wright. It's funny that you are judging him soley based on his pastors words. Couldn't you judge the candidates on their character? Or would that be too dificult especially for Hillary? i also love when the reporters quote her again and she says I havent mispoke in 12years. OPPS once more this is a joke. Wow… howard and penn have their work cut of them. If they win the nomination by cheating and stealing. They deserve the credit! These are the best spin drs in poltics! Hey hilary if you can dish it take IT! Bill and Hilary are professional at lying. hasn't the democratic party suffered enough. First Bush was using the same old politics of fear mongering, lies now its the Clintons. I cannot believe she walked into that newspaper in PA and sat down with that right wing paper just so she could talk about flowers. Her intentions was to go after Obama with Wright. kudos to Maggie and Wolfson, and Penn. Her advisers are using the right wingers and she will have to pay them back. The republicans know their candidate will win if Hilary is the nominee. Rush and Ann Coulter have endorsed her. Yikes! Mrs. Clinton should be ashamed. The democratic party is sick of the Clintons but they don't know how to eradicate them from the party. FYI don't invite them to the party.

Obama is a threat to the entire sytem. He hasn't taken money from insiders and lobbyist. Not to say he is clean but he has less dirt. He also doesn't have the baggage to carry around like the Clintons. The people of America have invested their monies. This is unheard of in any election. Millions of young Americans are making a difference. Obama is the American dream realized. Bill Clinton doesn't like that. He is an immigrant. An outsider. Not priviledged. He is multi cultural white and black. Yet he won't be good enough for every american because the country is divided into many parts. The Clintons are experts at working these divides. They are professionals at being everything to everyone.My parents call these people con-artists. They come to your home and sell you life insurance but when something happens they deny deny deny COVERAGE! America needs to wake up out of this mind control. The Clintons are smooth talkers. The media is doing it best to influence the election. Becareful to not consume too much especially some of these political tickers??? They will bring up wright for another week. It will be three weeks of wright and nothing else. Isn't that odd? 4,000 service men have died,americans have no health insurance, the economy is bust, wall street is being bailed out. and we sit by and listen to the media's version of Rev Wright! Don't be stupid… WAKE UP AMERICA. If Clinton gets it she deserves it. She sold her soul to achieve it! Obama has so many endearing qualities gong for him. Integrity,honesty, and humility.

Hillary lost….lost….lost….lost…lost….

Is there an echo in here?

Willie March 26th, 2008 6:35 pm ET

Very mature, resort to name-calling and attempting to play the race card i might add "I cant even vote for him now if he is in the General Election and im black." So he is starting to look unappealing but you have already made up your mind that you can't vote for him if he gets the Dem nomination huh? LOL, He doesn't attack Clinton…only her embellishments on experience and policy. He'll leave the attacking for the sake of attacking on the various non-issues to the clinton camp and people like yourself. Buy into that McCain is a democrat crap if you want.

Ok……Hillary went to Bosnia and was in the middle of a war zone. I drive down 8 mile through the east side of Detroit which many consider to be a warzone everyday to get to work, but it does not qualify me to be mayor of Detroit. So what if Hillary went to Bosnia.

Thank you Obama, get on with the fight with the republicans, and I know the 2 can easily be confused due to Ms. Clinton acting like one, but stay on course and it will be smooth sailing fron here!

The more Clinton gets negative, the worse she will look and he supers are watching the whole thing.

Obama is nothing but a racist….He should step out of the race,.
I dont beleive anything he has to say…If he gets the bid I will either not vote or vote for McCain….Obama has made this a race issue….He needs to step down……..If he is up aganist McCain, Obama will lose.

GO HILLARY GO HILLARY GO HILLARY

Hillary and Chelsea kept cutting in front of the line for food and the bathroom when we were in Bosnia. As for sniper fire, the only real threat was rain. She must have heard thunder and lighting in the sky and mistakenly thought someone was shooting at us. I remember Sheryl Crow popping a couple guitar strings too, so it may have been that as well. As for ducking and running to armored vehicles, well that not true either. I haven't run away from anything since I went AWOL from the Air Force.

I cannot speak for Obama but Clinton, while certainly advocating for a withdrawl from Iraq knows the consequences of not containing Al Qeada and not maintaining our position to defend our national interests. I think McCain will start pulling out of Iraq too, put he will call it Victory. Clinton and Obama cannot claim victory because they have been big opponent of Bush and it would signal a victory for Bush. The politics of Iraq are immense and should be studied with care.

It is Hillary who lied her husband is also a lier too two of a kind stick together. Hillary supporters just cannot come to the fact that she is a lier and she is not going to win this race… just get over it and support the the winnig person Mr. Obama.

Democrats

Please! Let's UNITE and stop bickering among our party. We are all part of the same team. I know we all have opinions and dissappointments in HILLARY & OBAMA but, let's look at the bigger picture. This could be our term to change AMERICA. To bring better jobs, health care and end the war. Let's not let the media or political tactics to divide us. Regardless of who win the nomination let's support the DEMOCRACTIC PARTY. One thing I do agree with OBAMA is that it starts from the bottom up. So it starts with you and me.

Be the change in the world you wish to see.

I think it's so funny how the Hillary henchmen have turned the tables "they think" on Barack. Their candidate is a liar and a cheat, which has been proven, and they think they can start saying that about a man who is not.

Unfortunately for Hillary, there isn't enough time in the election to buy integrity. When you misspeak, you pronounce a word wrong, when you lie, you fabricate a truth that NEVER took place. Hillary lied, and she says she misspoke. We heard her, she said all of her words correctly, and it was just a lie. She lied, and now her supporters are saying she exaggerated. I guess following their leader means they don't know what it means to be truthful, either.

Thank goodness we will have a president who knows the difference between misspeaking and the truth.

Obama 08

I think America should become like China. If it'd have been China today, Hillary Clinton would have been thrown out of the primary, based on Obama leading in the primaries uptil now.

So what if many more millians have to vote in the primaries to complete the process? What is the need of continuing just for the democracy namesake, but at the cost of all the infighting, acrimony that is going on between the democrats!
Obama, Dean, Pelosi and all the media leaders should behave like the Chinese politburo members, and declare that Obama is the winner based on the 65% of the vote already casted in the primaries, and throw Hillary Clinton out!!
Evrybody knows that this is what they want in their hearts, but i wish they had the guts like Chinese politburo members to act!!

Obama is the only one that can bring hope and peace to our
troubled country. I believe he is a great man and humanitarian.

The will let me say Hilary is horrible! but not let me tell you the reasons OBAMA 08!!! would be a better president!

No more fear mongering from the clintons!

@willie i dont think u have a comon sense dont even know wat to tell yah……u better change ur mind and vote for the right person dat is BARACK OBOMA for white house.

Obama was in war zone come guy do some reading for you self..

I'm a McCain supporter because although he is a fiscal republican, his social status leans towards the left. I believe that McCain is a tad smarter than he's letting on. I like McCain's plan of lowering taxes and making America more competative grounds for retaining businesses and breeding start ups. BTW, McCain came up with this idea first. There's much more that needs to be done, hopefully McCain will have the right trade & economic advisors. As such, Obama is a bright guy but he hasn't mentioned much about what he's going to do but socialize the system. He needs to explain this instead of race relations, sorry enough Americans come from a mixed heritage so we already know who Obama is. There are a lot of us out here who are not racists - instead of a 37 minute of Obama listening to himself speak during the State of the Union Address, we could have heard more of his ideas on trade balance.

To the supporters of Obama pastor. Please go to Hillary"s Nasty Pastorate, believe me this is worse than Rev Wright.

Ah Sucks I called Barack H. Obama a loser and CNN will not permit that statement.

The good news Obama supporters is that the pledged delegates do not have to vote for your man.

That is great because ie., states like New York who wants Hillary R. Clinton to win the Democratic nomination will be able to cast all their delegates her way.

But Obama can get to keep all the split delegates from Mississippi , that is what I call the Good News don't you!

And when you Obama supporters complain about pledged delegates just remember all the behind the scene jostling done by you guys in order that Obama get caucus delegates.

Repeat my mantra Obama supporters;

Hillary R. Clinton, 2009 President of America

Hillary R. Clinton, 2009 President of America

Hillary R. Clinton, 2009 President of America.

And GOD BLESS AMERICA

Why are comments being closed when Hillary supporters are making them?

When the media highlighted Michelle Obama saying she would not vote for Hillary you didn't raise an eyebrow. When Obama claimed that his voters would not vote for Hillary you winked and shrugged. Some of us read the Wright story before you hid the Wright story……

We are at least 50% of the Democratic party. Stop treating us like uninformed smucks or racists.

And the rallying cry will be REMEMBER MI and FL…..

Don't try to change the rules on superdelegatres. This is a race and our candidate is behind but it's a race that no one wins without superdelegates…

I find it odd that the candidate that DOES NOT HAVE AN ECONOMIC PLAN is the one telling McCain he does not offer one idea about economics….

I have a Dream, I have a Dream, I have a Dream spoken by Martin Luther King, is now the Dream is coming throught. Obama is going to be at President in the future! The King`s words is true!!!

Obama will win the nomination and will beat McCain.
Obama will be our next President. We crave the truth.\
We have had enough lies

Happy to see him back for one . Welcome back .
He needs to go after McCain . Because after all he his the front runner . And McCain is the nominee . As is Barack will be .
He needs to do what Hill needs to do is go after McCain . Not Barack Obama .

The truth…may some of your eyes be opened and the truth revealed before it is too late…Obama is a wolf in sheep's clothing.

None of the candidates are ideal or even great…BUT he is scary.

I have a Dream, I have a Dream, I have a Dream spoken by Martin Luther King, is now the Dream is coming throught. Obama is going to be at President in the future! The King`s words is true!!! God bless America!

Hillary '08 - if not, then Mc Cain '08 - vote for someone who loves this country!! Not someone who listens to racist, Anti American rants for 20 years, and then gets caught in a lie about it!! Nobama. NO!!!

Obama / Rev Wright '08 = Audacity of Hate

Hillary '08 - if not, then Mc Cain '08 - vote for someone who loves this country!! Not someone who listens to racist, Anti American rants for 20 years, and then gets caught in a lie about it!! Nobama. NO!!!

Obama / Rev Wright '08 = Audacity of Hate

Boy, bloggers sure are busy calling Obama a liar over one small fib about running from the plane to the cars in a hail of sniper fire……oh, wait a minute, that wasn't Obama. Sorry.

The superdelegates should back Obama then all of the Billary supporters will vote for McSame. Billary can then follow her supporters and run with McSame on the repulican ticket. Obama will gladly except with open arms all of the repulicans that hate the Clintons. Everyone will then be happy. I then say lets have a showdown, may the best President win.

Go Hillary, Go, you have my vote.

Why is it that the media has babied him?

Mike: Obama is still here because he is winning!

Question for Hillary:

Where are the tax records, earmark requests and presidential libray donors?

McCain doesnt have a chance,this is" The only race" now,who cares about bloody noses in a good fight.

I am a democrat who likes Obama but if Clinton is the nominee, I will have to pick John McCain. I can't pick someone who lies all the time, and lies so much that she can't even realize that she's lying. Atleast, John McCain is an honest man, although whose policies I don't agree with. I agree with what Obama says. McCain really does not understand the economy and has said that himself. I also think it's time to withdraw from Iraq unlike him saying he'd stay their for "100 years"
OBAMA=08!
*CHANGE FOR AMERICA*

Can anyone imagine how far ahead Hill and Bill would be if Senator Obama had shown his true color, or we'd heard Michelle Obama say she was proud to be an American for the first time in her adult life or how hard he's been working for the last 20 years to become firmly embedded in the black community from the very beginning of his campaign….orrrrrrrr the media hadn't been bashing her throughout the whole campaign. It takes much more than an eloquant speech full of empty words, to be president of a multi-racial and cultural country…WORDS of his very own, will be the end of Senator Obama's ONE AMERICA, with a little help from his good old Uncle Jereimiah. Does anybody wonder which ONE'S he would UNITE or bring CHANGE for? I'm bi-racial myself, even I can see where his obvious loyalties lie. There is no way I'd turn my back on either of my racial heritage over the other. He has some deep seeded ratial animosities, from racial slurrs made by his White Grandmother. . There's not many women of any race not afraid of black men…Could it be' because it a statistical fact they've committed the most crime.

There may be a real African American who will be President one day, I don't believe it's NOW, or will ever be Senator Obama. McCain might as well enjoy his lead in the polls…Poor old guy, he should be retired, doing sadoko's on the beach somewhere. Speaking of not giving up, how many strikes till he throw's in the towel!
Hill and Bill 08

This country is ready for an African-American president with fresh ideas to move us forward. It's also ready for a woman, but not Hillary.

Obama 08

Shame on u Obama for supporting that racist Rev.Wright for 20 yrs.

It seems as though McCain is going to use George W. Bushs's "scare tactics" that got him re-elected 8 yrs ago as a way to lure himself into the White House in 08′!!

VOTERS BEWARE…..

DO NOT LET THIS OCCUR!!!

"The Audacity of Nope"
-a book by Hillary Clinton

"How I single handedly stopped the most exciting campaign this country has seen in decades"

Rather than ignorantly writing off Barack's challenge as a "blatant mischaracterization" where is McCain's argument that those "mischaracterizations" are in any way off base? If you have a have a new policy suggestion, a new idea, any kind of relief for that matter, in mind, speak up John. You have our attention, but you're failing to deliver.

How is it off base to argue that McCain will carry on the failed Bush policies that have cost us half a trillion and over 4,000 US soldiers, when that is exactly what McCain has said he will do?

If that is the McCain camp response to a legitimate challenge, his similarity to the lame duck president should be glaringly apparent to every intelligent American.

[Observe, HRC has been marginalized, she is done and therefore no longer part of the discussion. If you favor progress and a democratic victory in November, just ignore her tantrums, lies and self-serving appetite for power, we don't need that anymore.]

Pelosi let the WORLD down when she refused to put forward impeachment proceedings against Bush and Cheney.

We gave the democrats the power they whined about and they have done nothing but make our situation worse.

We need a strong woman in the White House and the "other" house, TOO.

Hillary '08

People on fixed income are being penalized with lower interest rates being paid to them on certificate of deposits when they mature, etc. Who is looking out for these people? Will their rates be frozen at higher levels for a new term?

I think John Mc Cain Spent many years watching Leave It To Beaver reruns so he could learn to be like his idol Eddie Haskell who was able to successfully talk thru both sides of his mouth.Mc Cain is an exact clone of Haskell.ANYBODY WHO VOTES FOR MC CAIN IS DEAF,DUMB,BLIND,GULLIBLE AND STUPID AND HASN'T GROWN OUT OF DIAPERS YET!!!

Dear Mike,

Obama is here because a MAJORITY of the people want him to be president. Why are you here?

Take your meds, and go away.

I went through all this crap a long time ago…

Don't do what I do…. Do what I say!!! 'Free Speach' means…

Don't even try to tell the other guy, how to live…
If Obama loses he's, Dream for Power.. He will learn as
many did, before him. We decide…..

Not the Dreamer's ..

Thank you Obama. I still dont see your proposal to help the million homeowners that are scheduled to lose their homes in the next month or come up with some type of solution for the credit crisis we are facing.

Oh, I see. Your speech writers and advisers havent finished writing your speech? Well hopefully you can explain it well in the next debate and the media actually asks you questions first… and the ones that are hard. Your "I agree" are turning into drinking games.

The Clintons are losing their minds. It is no way in hell she can win in November. Ask must African Americans.

Obama and Mrs. Bill Clinton. I can't tell them apart. They are 2 peas in a pod.

HILLARY'S NEW MATH

Let's strong-arm the super delegates into voting for me because I'm behind in the delegate count, the populous count, and the state count.

Let's manipulate Obama into recognizing Fl and MI, even though he followed the DNC rules, and you broke them.

Let's pretend the primaries don't count and focus on the general election, where the electoral votes are king. I have the most electoral votes, if we don't factor in McCain.

Hell, let's forget about all this election stuff, and just pronounce me QUEEEN HILLARY.

Gee, Hillary, I'm so glad the new math is working for you—NOT.

Bush is not running for President. And McCain is not Bush. Deal with it.

I support whoever will end the bloodshed in iraq and bring our troops home. The iraqi's dont care about us or our economy, why should we care about theirs.

If you are a grandmother then get out of the way! or you'll get thrown under a bus,

THE GAME IS NOT OVER UNTILL IT IS OVER .
AMERICA HAS 50 STATES AND EVERY BODY NEEDS BE BE HEARD .
WHAT IS ALL THIS NONE SENSE NOT WAITNG UNTIL EVERYBODY HAS VOTED .
AS FARE AS SUPER DELEGATES GO , THEY ARE THERE FOR A REASON .
RICHARDSON AT ONE TIME ONE OF MY FAVORITE POLETION ,NOW I HAVE VERY LITTLE RESPECKT LEFT .
I DO NOT TREAT MY FRIENDS LIKE YOU DID .
OBAMA IS NOTHING THEN A PROBLEM MAKER ,GOES TO A CHURCH WHERE AMERICA IS NO GOOD HIS CHILDREN GO THERE .
IF SENATOR CLINTON WOULD WOULD HAVE DON SAMETHING LIKE THAT ,SHE WOULD HAVE BEEN DESTROID BY THE BLACKS AND THE GOVERMENT
SAMETHING IS OUT OF WAK HERE ,OBAMA THE LEAST QUILIFIED IS RUNNING FOR PRESIDENT ,SENATOR CLINTON WHO DOES AND HAS RECIEVED MUCH WOERSE PTRESS ,THE BLACKS WOULD LINCH HER AND RECHARDSON WOULD GIVE THE OK .
IOBAMA HAS TO PROOF MUCH MORE THEN A HOPEFULL AND GOOD SPEACH TO WINN THE WHITE HOUSE .
I GIVE A GOOD SPEACH SO I WAS TOLD ,DOES THAT QUALIFY ME AS SAME ONE MORE THEN ANY ONE ELSE .
OBAMA AND RICHARDSON HAVE SAME THING IN CALMEN ,OBAMA KNOWS HOW TO HATE AND RICHARDSON KNOWS SAME ONE TO LOVE —BUT WHERE COMES OUR BELOVED AMERICA IN PLAY .RICHARDSON KNOWS ALSO HOW TO TAKE ADVANTEGE OF PEOPLE AND PAY THEM BACK WITH INSULTS .

And it's about time!

McCain is not well. All comments about his age and his health are ignored.

If he dies in office his vice-president will take over as president. So far, we don't have a clue who that would be.

Plus, McCain would just continue the failed Bush policies. The war s about to cost us an arm and a leg and McCain wants to continue it indefinitely. We have lost over 4,000 soldiers and 29,000 severely injured soldiers.

No matter which candidate wins the nomination, we should vote for the Democratic candidate.

McCain would be a catastrophe. He admits knowing nothing about economics and little more about foreign affairs. We already have one know-nothing president. We certainly do not need another.

THE OBAMA HATERS ARE THE REAL MINORITY HERE IN AMERICA

Lets go OBAMA !!!!!!!!!!!!!1
THE MAJORITY OF AMERICA STILL SUPPORTS YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!

We can still have a Clinton/Obama or Obama/Clinton ticket.

They are both good people with great ideas and tremendous power and ideas to truly change our country for the better.

Let's forget about the tabloid journalism that's pulling us apart and work for a unified party that kicks the butts out of Washington that put us here in the first place.

I just saw two speeches of Obama attacking McCain. These are my comments:

1. His comment that we need to get back into Afghanistan: Well guess what, you had tools in your power to pressure NATO to do its job in Afghanistan. You never held ONE oversight meeting!!!! Not even one. Shame of you Obama. NATO has been a failure in Afghanistan and if you are so disgruntled by the way we have been behaving in Afghanistan you could have started there.

2. His comment that we need to use billions of dollars that are being used in Iraq in the country: Iraq is creating a DEFICIT. TRILLION of dollars. Come up with ways to have fiscal responsability, not keep creating trillion dollar deficits. Thank you.

3. His comment that McCain offered no solutions/ideas: Guess what… YOU havent either. Stop piggy backing on someone else's effort like you did in Illinios. Senator Dodd (even though he supports you) is not entirely sure how involved you were helping him up with the bill he is sponsoring. He had one conversation in which you were engaged, THAT's it. Come up with solutions… oh wait, your speech writers havent finished coming up with it.

4. His comment that he is going to take immediate action ONCE he is President: We need the HELP NOW!!!!! If we wait until you supposedly will be sworn in as President in January 2009, there will be so many homes in the market that it will take YEARS to get out of here.

Ok, I'll stop here, but have sooooooo many more. I should listen to his speeches more often… wow, he really is an empty suit.

OBAMA RECIEVES MONEY FROM THE RICH SPORTS PLAYERS AS WELL AS FROM OTHERS .
OBAMA I WISH I COULD VOTE FOR YOU ,BUT MY TRUST IN YOU IS NOT THERE ,IT WAS BEFORE I HURD ABOUT YOUR MINISTER .
THAT IS TO MUCH HATE FOR ME .
I FEEL THAT OUR GOVERMENT HAS OPEND THE DOORS TO EVERYBODY .
I CAME FROM EUROPE ,I HAD TO START WITH NOTHING ,NOT EVEN ENGLISH .
IN 6 YEARS WE HAD 5 HOMES ,AND A YEAR LATER WE STARTED OUR OWN METAL FARICATION ,6 YEARS LATER ,I BECAME THE OWNER OF SANTA BARBARA CAMERA IN S. B. CA.
THE POINT I AM MAKINK ,WE HAVE TO WORK HARD AND EVEN WHEN WE GET NOT THE BEST JOBS ,WE WHERE SO HAPPY WHEN AMERICA OPEND HER ARMS AND TOOK US IN .
IT IS THE COUNTRY OF HOPE AND APERTUNITIES AND NO OBAMA OR MC CAIN SHOULD DESTROY WHAT OUR FOR VOTHERS BIULD UP WITH GREAT POLITICIANS INCLUDING PRESIDENT CLINTON .

lets see, jose gets his comment posted and hes hispanic. willie gets his comment posted and hes black oh i see iam white i get it cnn SUCKS! GO FOX!

I would love to see a debate between John McCain and Hillary Clinton and another debate with McCain and Obama. This would be helpful in finally answering the question: Who can stand up against McCain. Since Obama and Clinton are speaking out against McCain, a debate would be helpful to voters.

If Obama is the democratic candidate, I predict McCain will be the victor.

McCain is garbage just like Bush…Go ahead and waste your vote on someone who spent 6 1/2 years locked in a bamboo cage.

Go BHO. Got to love the guy because he has explained in great detail and with specificity his plan.

You know…
We still have not heard one plan from Senator Obama!!! A lot of putting everyone else down but nothing at all to back it up…
Is the whole hype based on his speeches? I am pretty sure it is and I am also pretty sure that if he was ever elected, we would be in for a four year speech!!!
He is just not ready to Govern our Nation…

Uh Mike… have you heard?

Obama STILL leads John McCain in the head-to-head matchup and STILL leads Hillary among Democrats? Not to mention votes, states and delegates. Why is he still here? BECAUSE HE'S STILL WINNING!

HOLY CRAP… I am so sick and tired of dem's going against dems. Folks saying that if their democratic nominee doesn't win, they are voting for McCain or nothing at all. I really hope that once a nominee is picked that people are able to look past their their personal feelings and all the nastiness and vote for the party that represents them.

I was extremely disappointed that last two elections when Bush won but it's more disappointing to read/hear about people within the democratic party berate each other. I support Obama and as much as I don't like Hilary, I will vote for her if she is the nominee as I DO NOT want McCain in office.

HEY WILLY, the reason you cannot tell them apart is because OBAMA was the "I agree guy " when the debates were taking place. HILLARY in the hot seat providing answers and SOLUTIONS FOR AMERICA and Barach on the side being fed grapes by the reporters…

HOW LAX….

THIS country needs a leader that can do both motivate and lead yet not letting us be distracted with all the nonsense the media has helped boost over the last few weeks.

I have tried to debate with Obama supporters and most of them cannot tell me WHY they are supporting OBAMA. All they say is "He is Change".. That's it! Change like what?, like he's black??… "Ummm, yeah"… PLEASE GET REAL!!!!

Not sure how you can "misspeak" in a prepared, typed up speach…twice.

This nation will never be as great as we should or can because of idiots. We are misinformed and only believe what’s broadcasted in the media. American’s hear a few blurbs from a few sermons then believe this Pastor hates America, if you honestly believe that Rev. Wright preached a message of “Hate” for 20 years you’re a fool.

Wow, all these comments really show the lack of education of what I hope isn't an average sampling of the American public. Think for yourselves, read and listen with questioning ears. Look at all the attempts to thwart Obama, and I can only hope it won't work. Hillary with her lies and her insatiable lust for power, McCain the war hawk and his ties to Bush. Wow, can people really be shocked Obama attended an African American church that is frustrated by the racial history in America? All this race stuff lately just proves that the frustration is real and alive…

Get over it… Obama is the rightful nominee. Thankfully, an educated well spoken politician. It's about time!

WILLY AND JOSE DONT GIVE UP YOUR PEOPLE NEED TO HEAR THE TRUTH, IAM A WHITE DEMOCRAT McCAIN NO QUEATION ABOUT IT. SECURITY IS NUMBER ONE IN THIS COUNTRY HEAKTH CARE AND TAXES DONT MEAN NOTHING WHEN THOSE THUGS AL QUEADA IS TRYING TO DESTROY ALL AMERICANS AND MUSLIMS. THEY WANT TO KILL YOUR MOTHER,FATHER SISTER,BROTHER AND KIDS. REPUBLICANS,DEMOCRATS,LIBERALS WAKE UP BEFORE ITS TO LATE.

Hillary should go away now. I just hate her and I'm a life-long Dem. I won't vote for her. She shames our party and our gender.

People Race and Gender is playing a MAJOR ROLE here in this race… CNN has a point!!!

If Barack Obama were a traditional, White American where would his ratings be???

Or if Hillary were a Black woman, where would this all go????

If you change views after these theories, then race and gender DOES in fact play a significant role in your selection…

MCain wins 40 states.

Unlike Obama’s pastor, I ask for “God bless America” not “God dam America.”

Obama will win the nomination. He will win because he is running a transparent campaign, he addressed the pastor wright issue, nafta, and rezko of which none are anything compared to Hillary's lies and deceit. I am not white or black but i can tell you there is a racial problem in this country and Obama understands that.

Before speaking bad about obama read the senate record of both the candidates and you will see who has done more. He has also unified more people and has not sold out his party to win like Hillary. Hillary is a JUDAS !!!! And by the way he is not black he is mixed, get it through your brains.

Obama doesn't have a prayer with McCain.

Hillary is definitely the toughest of both candidates.
She has the experience and I tell you she WILL change the White House.
We don't need hope, we need someone that knows how to do it.
Go Girl!

Hillary ! no she is miss speaking again well she did not leave bill,wait guns are firing allover she must stay.well we all better duck and run hillary is speaking again.

Talimee: I'm just gonna come out and say it straight forward… you're ignorant. You just spit out all that you've heard from the media and clearly haven't done any research of your own.

1. Obama is the chair of the SUB-committee for EUROPEAN affairs under the main committee that is the Foreign Relations Committee. Now if you think Afghanistan is in Europe then maybe you should go buy a map… nah you aren't that stupid you're just that uninformed.

2. Have you ever studied finance or economics? When we invest in Iraq the money is gone. But when we invest in the US then it stays in the US and when the country turns around and can then get us out of debt. Not investing any money isn't going to do anything.

3. Just because you haven't heard him talk about it (which btw, no candidate will give out the specifics of their plans because it will be picked apart and destroyed before it even has a chance) doesn't mean that he doesn't have any solutions.

4. The only thing I agree with. But you can't hold that against ONLY him, that would be absurd. Bush and the rest of the right wingers won't allow any federal help with the housing crisis. It's too much of "big government" and saving the foolish for them, so to say that they're not trying isn't fair… there's nothing they can do, at least that isn't already being done.

Conclusion: Do not JUST listen to speeches. That last part of your comment told me EXACTLY what I predicted in the first sentence of my comment, you are only getting your view of the candidates through the TV. Go look at their records, check out their histories, and read what they've said about the issues or what other people have said about their stances on the issues.

McCain is probably a decent man and undeniably a true patriot.
But, he's a terrible candidate for President.

He's a long-term senator who has run multiple times for the highest office in our land. And, yet, in all that time, he has never bothered to become better informed and educated on serious issues that our President will need to take action on… namely the economy.

It seems that McCain feels that he can run on a reasonably good record of bipartisan efforts and strong support for military action on our behalf. But, even on his pet issues, he's not impressing us lately. He clearly doesn't even understand the fundamental fight between Sunnis and Shiites in Iraq. If he did,, he'd never have mistaken the fact that "Al Qaeda in Iraq" are NOT getting training from their RIVALS in Iran!
I'm no US Senator, but I do try to keep up on what is going on in Iraq and the "war on terror". And, even regular ol' me knew that Iranians and Al Qaeda are not allied.

All this infighting is just symptomatic of the country at this time. Invading Iraq was a mistake pure and simple and getting out should be a priority for any candidate regardless of their politics. The soldiers who are bearing the brunt of it in an area of the world that has been plagued by ethnic violence for centuries deserve that.

On a more general point, if Americans would just stop and look at themselves they would see that ending a reliance on coal and oil and worship of the almighty automobile might just stop the rapid fall into depression that is obvious to anyone living outside the country.

All the clinton people who have said that Obama doesn't have an economic plan need to start doing some research. Obama's plan is pretty detailed and can be found on his website and a host of other places.

Hey Jack, I am a little confused. Is it possible for the remaining Super Delegates to just cast their votes right noe instead of waiting to see the inevitable? By them sitting on the side lines is not that a "SURE" way to loose the final prize? It seems to me that Howard Dean is giving the Clinton's all the chances to try to get close but all that is doing is destroying the party. By them NOT pulling the trigger right NOW they are playing exactly into Bill and Hillary's hand is by making sure that the Democratic chances with Barack Obama gets destroyed and blown out of the water. Can not they see this?? Are they that blind?

How about the eight years of failed Clinton policy, namely revolutionizing health care and overhauling Social Security, both of which were key election promises which neither Clinton had any clue how to get done.
Go Obama,
Go John, and …
go AWAY Hillary.

Hillary needs to stay focus on engaging with voters but not so much on her opponent and those who tells her to quit. The reason for this long campaign season is that candidates has time to convince all the voters. And also to prove how they can stand the heat.

Go, Hillary. Women have endurance and toughness as well.

Wasn't Obama's supporters threating the black superdelegates is they didn't go with Obama?

Hillary R. Clinton will win the Democratic nomination and she will win the general election and

become the next president of America in 2009.

This is how she will win:

The pledge delegates won in the primaries are not bound, by their splitting by percentages, won

by either Clinton or Obama.

Thus the true voices of the people will be heard, i.e. the great state of New York voted that they

wanted Hillary R. Clinton to be the Democratic party leader. But according to the rules of DNC

(RULES ARE RULES) she had to split her state's delegates and give a large percentage of these

delegates to Obama.

One of the other rules of DNC (RULES ARE RULES) Pledge delegates won in the primary are not

bound by that commitment.

We will not get into the dumb rules in some states; such as even if you win the state by voters

count, you can still end up with less delegates, because you won the caucus, which can wipe out

the votes of the citizen of that state. SAY WHAT???

RULES ARE RULES PLEDGED DELEGATES. IF YOUR STATE WANTED HILLARY R. CLINTON TO

Hillary is pitiful. She won't give up even though she is losing. She is ruining the chances for the DEMS to win. Shame on you, HRC!!!!

Just wanted to say that if Hillary loses as the nomine I will for the first time in my life vote for a republican. I don't trust obama with the little experience he has, maybe in another 8 years he will get my support.Thank you

RULES ARE RULES PLEDGED DELEGATES. IF YOUR STATE WANTED HILLARY R. CLINTON TO

GET THE DEMOCRATIC NOMINATION THAN PLEDGE ALL THE DELEGATES FROM THAT STATE, IT

IS A RULE (RULES ARE RULES) YOU ARE PERMITTED TO USE TO PLEDGE ALL THOSE

DELEGATES TO HILLARY R. CLINTON

OBAMA IS A JOKE GO MCCAIN!!

At least HRC was in a war zone.Done more than Obama has ever done.Obama has done ZERO. HRC was told that they might have sniper fire over there. It was told by someone that was on CNN ,who was on the trip.So thats what she remembered. Not like Obama that straight out lied about hate sermons, than gets caught so he has to cover it up with a speech.You Clinton haters dont have no reality.Thats why you live in your fantasy world with Obama. Wake up out of your dream before its to late.Dont put the cart before the horse.This race isnt over until the Super Deligates pick the most qualified canidate to be our Leader.The U.S. Military officials even endorse HRC, because they know she will make our best Leader. Our country will not give a greenhorn with no qualifications to be our Leader.He has more experience by his speeches and unity of young ,to be a preacher.Twenty yrs. of it. This is not a game they are playing.Our lives depend on this race for our Leader. Dont be foolish and vote for stardom quality and speeches of hope and changes ,that cant be delivered. Just remember HRC is our only real hope to beat the republicans. If she looses election ,the Dems are done for another 4 to 8 yrs. Obama will be demolished going against them.Obama whines in the race and plays the card .What is going to happen if he gets elected. Give me a break. HRC is the fighter and will fight until the end,like she will for us. HRC stands for issues, plans.and solutions. GO HRC

Hillary, did you ever return all the items your family stole from the White House when we thought we were finally rid of the two of you? Don't lie. You know how trailer trash it was to do that.

Hillary lost.
Obama 08

Clintons have master the art of lying. HRC said she will attempt to still Obama's pledge delegates and I can never look at the Clintons the same way ever again.

Obama has been open to the American people.

Can Hillary be honest?

And I thought the Hillary/Bill bashers would take a moment off to spend time bashing John! They didn't miss a beat. The New Politics marches on. Hillary or McCain or Nader or Bill in '08.

When will you robots realize if Barry Osama is out to mess up America and turn it into another third world county!

GOBAMA and take you finally proud to be American wife and your racist preacher with you!

Why is some Billary supporters claiming that ending war is her idea!

She stole that idea from Obama. She was totally for war in Iraq! Not only that she voted for war in Iran just in the fall (2007), less than a few months ago. So, apparently she didn't learn from her first mistake and is still up for war. She just says that she is now against war because she is jealous of Obama getting to be the favorite with his position against war. So, what does she do? Simply steal Obama's idea!

I imagine that not only is the media boosting support for Hillary, but that the Republicans will spend the majority of their time critiquing him based on every little thing he (Obama) has said. I've never seen such fear. God Bless Barak Obama!

WHAT'S THIS MODERATION THING, FREEDOM SPEECH IS FREEDOM OF SPEECH, JUST ASK MARTIN EVERYTHING HE SAYS GETS POSTED. DOUBLE STANDARD. THIS DEM FOR FOX AND McCAIN GET EDUCATED AMERICA.

Re the Bill Clinton story above…

This is what Bill has been doing all along, ever since S. Carolina. He's been trying to pick a fight, because he doesn't give a rip. He got impeached, and it didn't phase him, so of course a fight within the party doesn't phase him. Nothing will ever phase him.

And that's why I can not vote for Hillary Clinton. She cannot tell her husband to shut up.

Obama 08

I'm so tired of the Obama campaign.

Obama on vacation and relaxing on a lounge chair (very un-presidential while in public)..Clinton working tirelessly because she knows what is at stake for the future of America…and McCain releasing "rumors" to the media that he may be himself a Democrat, so as to appeal to the majority of American voters….Pathetic Old Hard-head.

Look, the issue here is that Clinton is the only candidate left who is capable of "fixing" America- if not, be prepared for a 100 year war and a historic economic Depression.

Obama has deep character flaws that have been exposed consistently, and no matter how he tries to spin his personal inner conflicts to the media, and America,- He is at best, an emotional pacifist. He is trying to appease white voters, and at the same time continue to support the anti-American, anti-mainstream rhetoric of his Church in Chicago. This just is not a man of integrity, nor deep committment to America or to anyone. For example, his recent endorsement includes Richardson, another politician he mirrors exactly in terms of loyalty and genuineness. NEVER OBAMA!

Since I am a "typical" white person myself, I must vote for Clinton, or McCain if he happens to be the nominee. I cannot go out to the voting booth and support a man who has himself verbally direspected me, and merely acts the part of a good President while on Stage. Barack- you are the epitome of everything that is wrong with "typical" Washington poiltics, and yet you propagandize that as the opposite of your true nature. Barack, you will say and do anything to get elected, and then spin your exact corrupt political tactics, so eloquently, against your competitors. VOTERS BEWARE!! You eitherther have uncontrollable psychotic tendencies, or worse, YOU ARE JUST A REALLY GOOD MANIPULATOR OF PEOPLE during times when all Americans are seeking a change for the better.
NEVER OBAMA!

CRUSH ALL TERRORIST! WHAT DO YOU THINK ABOUT THAT CNN WILL YOU POST IT. FOX WOULD.PROUD DEM.

Why would Hillary supporters want to attack McCain they are going to vote for him in November! They must believe in the same things, give the rich tax breaks, Occupy and Torture Iraq forever and sky high deficits.

Anyone voting for Hillary must love seeing the American people paying for the Clinton's pleasures as you all KNOW we are still paying for that JB Bill got while he was president or are you people sleep deprived like Hillary. Also, Christian she calls herself she needs to read her Bible! Christians pray for their leaders not dog them.They also have a responsablity to take of the husband. Hillary wants to be President so she can get back at Bill wonder who she will get to eat her.

Hi,
I am from Australia , married with 3 children. Whilst US politics does not affect me directly I have followed it with interest on CNN TV as I believe the US has a major role to play in world politics and hence future generations.

As an outsider I see this as a critical moment in US history. The American people made a big mistake in voting for Bush rather than Gore. If Clinton gets the nomination it will be another mistake that the US could not recover from - because there is no doubt the Democrats will go on to win. The US clearly need to look forward and claim some economic and cultural credibility in the world. They need to be liked and not only feared. So which candidate do i and my colleagues think is best for the future? One clear choice: Obama. Read on.

ON CLINTON: We do not believe what she says. She is focused on wining at any cost. She represents the old politics of power and deceit. Her previous acts betray her current language. To her this is a personal goal and not a national one.

ON McCAIN: We like the guy. McCain sounds comforting and relaxed. In another timeline in US history he could be what is needed. But that is not what the US need right now. He lacks the energy and enthusiasm needed to pull the US out of social and economic gloom. Sorry McCain but you are too old for this generation.

ON OBAMA: He sounds and looks genuine. He is about wining for the US and not for himself. The Wright controversy is a distraction from the fact that this man is clearly what the US desperately need. I wish we had him in Australia! We recently changed government for a younger candidate like Obama and it has stimulated excitement and hope for the younger generation. Its made the nation feel more positive about itself. The US has the same opportunity in Obama. Hang onto him. He will llift your country out of despair and make America the loved and respected saviour of the world again.

LASTLY: How can you call Fox a news network? It is an absolute insult to human intelligence. It is more a comedy network. They have no shame.

Signed, a concerned world citizen.

NOW WERE UP TO 4 COMMENTS YOU HAVE'NT POSTED FOR ME THIS IS AMERICA . I DONT THINK IAM IN IRAN. McCAIN ALL THE WAY. PROUD DEM.

If Obama gets the nomination I'll vote for John MacCain

Marc,
I have considered myself to be a white person for over 29 years now. But if I ever was viewed as being the typical white person that you so eloquently described I would jump off a cliff.

Come on kids! Can't we get back to throwing stones at each other?

In reading these comments your all pretty sick, and some are downright nasty. Why must there be an attack then a counter attack?
Obama lies, Hillary lies, McCain lies, they're all politicians. When have we ever had a politician who didn't lie. The question will be who lies the least? Anyone who believes a politician is a fool! We will vote as always, for the lesser of two evils. There will be plenty of time after the convention to see who we believe will be better at lying then the other person. Believe it or not the best liar will win. Look at what we now have, the best liar of all, he talked alot about change. Boy, did we get change or what? Careful what you ask for, you just might get it.
