yeah any fat cat republican who bashes obama is scared of him . dont forget mcain has crazy pastors around him too so it will be the battle of crazy pastors .

Rove 2016.

What? Karl Rove may be vile but certainly not dumb. Then again, maybe he knows something about John McCain that the rest of us don't...John McCain my friend is no conservative. It is his centrist appeal that has made him relevant and competitive in the race for the White House. Given the disarray with the Democrats, the GOP may indeed win in November, but we will definitely not have a conservative in the White House come January.

What do you folks expect this man to say! People, he is a Sen. Clinton supporter. He will throw any and everything at him (Sen. Obama) in the hopes that something will stick. Even if it is something untrue.

What could be worse than the twenty "high profile" Sen. Clinton supporters with there inappropriate letter to the Democratic Party Leaders?.

By reading between the lines you must surely see their message.
Very simply put, it was support Sen.Clinton or forfeit any further financial support from these twenty "high profile" Clinton Supporters.

Don't expect anything different from any of Sen. Clinton's supporters, It is win the White House at any cost. Go down scratching and clawing if need be.

Sen. Clinton and her supporters think that since she was the wife of a former president, they have first claim to the white house.

Stop complaining about he said she said. Obama supporters concentrate on getting positive feedback out there for the person of your choice!

What do you expect him to say? He does not want him to win.
He is more scared of Obama than Hillary and that is why he barely
mention her name. A bit of common sens here......

I was hating Karl Rove, past two weeks I am listing to Karl Rove comments. I find lot fof acts If Hillary not nominee our votes for Mc Cain

.... and why isn't Rove in jail for treason? It is disgusting that news services still give him a voice ... like he is credible or something! Perhaps when Hillary gets elected President she will open a new investigation into Rove's part in the Valerie Plame betrayal!!

Mr. Rove shut up. You have some nerve talking when the Republican base do not even like John McCain and hoped someone else like VP Cheney would have ran for President.

Yesterday Bill Clinton spoke in glowing and admirable terms about John McCain. Why would he do that? If he thinks his wife will end up being the nominee, why would he praise McCain knowing that his very own words could be used against him? Maybe he hopes Hillary will be McCain's vp choice

THANKS for you "New World Disorder"

Sit down and be quiet, you've had your turn.

Machiavellian Karl Rove... the ultimate manipulator and plotter for the dark side.

Let us hope he continues to mouth off; people know what he did and what he is so it will only serve to hurt McCain.

It would be the only time he's done something good for America.

I am wondering why the media gives this man the time of day? He has absolutely NO credibility with me. The fact Rove is attacking Senator Obama is probably good news for his campaign. Who believes anything that Rove says?

You got it right Mr. Rove. This is one democrat that will come over to the Republicans if Obama is the nominee. He is nothing but a useless liar. Stating such things as I never supported the war. Of course he didn't. He didn't have a vote. Much less his lie about his Pastor. i never heard him say things like that untill I saw it in the Press, RIGHT? In his GREAT SPEECH HE REPUTES THAT REMARK. Why do some white people go along with this. Have they no shame. All true Hillary supporters will be McCain supporters if he is the nominee. HILLARY 08 or McCAIN. Drop out Obama, Now!!!

Like YOUR party is united, dude!

Rove is a typical neo-con bloated gas bag. He and his cronies depend on the bone-laziness of the American people. He wants to know what bills Obama has sponsored?

-The Secure America And Orderly Immigration Act

-The Secure Fence Act

-The Lugar-Obama Cooperative Threat Reduction

–The Coburn-Obama Transparency Act

-The Democratic Republic Of The Congo Relief, Security and Democracy Promotion Act

-The Honest Leadership And Open Government Act

-s.453, criminalizing deceptive practices in federal elections (any wonder Rove doesn't like him?)

-The Iraq War De-Escalation Act Of 2007

-an amendment to the 2008 Defense Authorization Act, adding safeguards for troops with personality disorders.

-The Iraq Sactions Enabling Act

-an amendment to SCHIP to provide one year unemployment compensation for family members caring for soldiers with combat related injuries.

...and others. Don't let the Rovians buffalo you..Obama has worked, and worked hard, in the Senate. The neo-cons are counting on you not to find things out for yourself. Don't let Rove hand the White House to Grandpa Munster.

You should try "Doing nothing", Karl.

This WORLD would be better off.

I can't believe anyone pays this guy to come and give a speech. I think most Americans would chip in a few bucks to put him in a retirement home and have him go away...forever.

Whether you like to admit it or not, Obama will be a lame duck if he gets the nominee to challenge McCain for President.

The Republicans got so many weapons to use now against Obama he'll be swiss cheese. Barack does not have a strong foundation to fight from versus McCain. I'll bet anybody dollars to donuts that McCain will win handily versus Barack and the Democrats will have to wait another 4 years to try for the White House.

Rove, you American traitor, why aren't you behind bars in San Quentin for your shameful outing of a CIA agent, which compromised America's secret missions to ferret out WMDs?

As for Al Gore, whatever you may think of his politics, the man served with distinction in Vietnam. What have you ever done for your country, Karl Rove? Where were you when your country called? Where were you during our conflict in Iraq? Apparently busy exposing our own CIA agents for political purposes.

Karl Rove, you no longer sit in our halls of government, God be praised. You are just a big mouth, blowing hot air. You have no power beyond your own feeble, malicious words.

Traitor, traitor, traitor!

That is what you are, and how you shall ever be known for all time.

Down with the traitors, and up with the Star!

How surprising. He rattled off the typical conservative talking-points. Nice work.

If Hillary is the Democratic nominee you can bet Karl Rove will be insisting she release her 2000 thur 2006 tax returns and he will make sure the voter's are aware of the Federal case, Clinton vs Paul. Hillary is a defendant in a criminal case accusing her of accepting 1.2 million dollars in illigal campaign funds. Senator Obama has kept his campaign clean but the Republicans will tear Hillary apart , and they won't have to 'mis-speak' to do it. She will never win the election, the public needs this information NOW. Why is this case being swept under the rug and why hasn't she been forced to release her tax returns.

I think Rove is dissing Obama because the Reps have taken a good look at him and, like many Dems, don't want to even think of such inexperience leading our nation and the world. He knows that, with all the hoopla about Obama now and with all the lemmings following along, Obama just might become the nominee. The very thought that the USA could fall into such hands is terrifying so, really, the Reps would much rather take their chances with Hillary. They know that if she should win the presidency, she's at least capable, accomplished, experienced, diplomatic, and level-headed. As far as Rove and the Republicans go, they'll take Hillary as an opponent, not because they necessarily believe they can beat her in Nov., but because, to them, she is the better of two evils.

It's appalling and at the same time, psychologically interesting to see how the obaaaaama followers twist everything around. it really is fascinating, everytime somebody, anybody says anything slightly controversial, yet true, about obama, the followers get so twisted. Rove, is right in his appreciation of obama. he will be pumeted, if he is the DNC candidate. Hillary is strong and will fight to the very end if she is the candidate. That's why I want her for my President. Because she is strong.

Rove talks about Obama's achievement or lack of them. I just wish we could talk about his boss' lack of achievement but sadly President Bush has acheived a lot these last 7 years which all of us are paying for now. Let's hope that senator Obama won't ake too much notice of advisers like Rove and can give back a little of what we have lost during President Bush term in the White House.

Rove is 60 years too late, the dude could've been a great Fascist.

Sorry Sue. Rove didn't mention Hillary because she has no realistic chance of being the democratic nominee. Rove would love to have McBush run against that the divisive old bat which is why he is attacking Obama. Get a clue.

Georg, without an "e" . My only advice to you is to look in the dictionary for the spelling of George and the meaning of diplomat. You must have been one of the people who voted bush into office twice. At this point in time, the reputation of the united states is in the gutter, and even a goat will do a better job of restoring it than the president you helped vote into office.

Are you scared of having a president who actually knows what he is talking about. Are you scared of having a leader who doesn't just jump on the bandwagon because it looks cool. But someone who will actually think, analyze and make a rational decision on our national affairs. I think intelligence and honesty really scare some people and I am not sure if that is the case here or just the inability to actually understand what is going on.

Rove opinion matters how?? I too would like to know why isn't he in prison yet?

A conservative will be in the White House? Really? Who? 'Cause the Republicans don't even have a conservative nominee...

Remember McCain's little "misspeak": I am a LIBERAL... uh, oops, conservative Republican." (*knocks on own head*) "Hello, anybody in there?"

Uh, no John, there's nobody in there.

Well, since Rove is Hillary's mentor, and she learned everything she knows from him, of course he would be attacking Obama. Lets add Nader to Hillary's list of cronies, this just gets funnier and funnier.

I can see that the GOP are sick with Obamafever. No wonder they are begining to roll out their arsenal of the dirty playing Karl Rove and Ralph Nader. After withstanding, with dignity and sanity the desperate "kitchen sink" strategies from the Clintons, I see Obama as unstopable. This guy is where he is ever because he is sound and has earned his oars. Who says hard work and integrity doesnt pay.

Rove is about as reliable and worthy of listening to as Golum!

Only superjerks would believe what this jerk has to say. People, don't let others take you for a ride. Everyone around the globe thinks we americans are stupid, and part of that is because we listen wholeheartedly to loonies like this like this guy

It takes strength to cross a finish line (even when in last place), it takes strength to overcome an illness (even when bedridden), and it will take strength to run a country (whether male or female). I strongly believe that all this separation and division would not have gotten this bitter, if the democratic party had not put "Sen. Obama and Sen. Clinton" to run against each other, at a time when both are trying to make history. We would have a great and more united party, if Sen. Obama (in his belief to unite) stood up with Sen. Clinton, and said "this is your time", and in the next election", Sen. Clinton stood up with Sen. Obama and said "this is your time". In the end, we would not only have a "united party", but a "party united". The sad thing is that "hatred/anger usually clouds good judgment".

But the reality is that America/World are already divided (party vs. party; rich vs. Poor; religion vs. religion; country vs. Country; etc.). Only God can change the World”. What each of us have to hope and pray for, is the "strength to overcome it all".
God Bless America.

Rove won't admit it, but he is absolutely terrified of Obama and knows that President Obama's administration will eclipse that of Bush/Rove in both substance and tone. Right now it's all about legacy and an Obama Presidency will cement Bush/Rove's as inept, partisan and short-sighted (despite claims to the contrary).

Also, it seems more and more likely that Rove will be called to testify before Congress regarding his political meddling in the prosecution of Alabama's governor. Hopefully, he will even be prosecuted.

Rove has met his match in Obama–all Obama has to do is let Rove keep digging himself into his own grave. You can fool some of the people some of the time, and you can fool some people all of the time, but you can't fool all the people all of the time–be careful Rove your character is starting to show!

Karl Rove can't even spell Al Gore.

Karl Rove knows who the Democrats' nominee will be.

Is he serious? Rove is an idiot.

This can be said of Rove. Here is a signal your lame party is in disarray. You know you got a problem when anyone embraces your cheap and sleazy comments. Somebody show this Homer Simpson looking creep the exit!.............

Is it just me, or does Karl Rove look like that stuffed pig on the FEED THE PIG commercials?

You know you've got problems when you're counting on Karl Rove to do your PR...

OMG I think i agree with Karl

Sounds like they're scared to run against Obama

Rove, why do you even speak? Your voice is so diluted with your honorary marks on history, which will be redacted.

It would be really nice if we could shun Karl Rove for the rest of his life. It would be great if the media could just never pay any attention to him. Let's all pretend he's invisible!

Rove has such a high opinion of himself and /or is very delusional if he thinks there is anyone left in America who cares about what he has to say.

you should be rotting in jail.
and this shows that the gop is scared of obama
ha ha ha ha

Well, I agree with you for th first time ever.

Obama will never appeal to Republicans- he doesn't appeal to 50% of the democrats.

But Hillary is the real threat to republican rule

Yes because that experience argument has worked so well for Hilary!

Don't worry Rove,

Even us democrats don't want Obama as president.

But Hillary- you guys could not HOPE to beat.

oh shut up you.
you are a has been and we cant be bothered to listen to what rubbish you have to say
so disappear,now

I agree that it appears the Rs and their talk radio proxies are bashing Obama in the hope for a McCain v Clinton general election fight. Then, the real slime (against Hillary) will ooze from the Rs...

He's speaking the truth. Big Talk No Action Obama. Its sensationalism at its best and worst.

Oh, Republicans, Republicans, do you really want this no good, no morale having idiot helping out your Party again? Well, me being the devoted Democrat that I am. I DO!!!! Keep talking Big BOY!

When and where ever Rove speaks the place should be disinfected
afterwards.

Other questions for Obama: what civil rights cases did he work on as a lawyer and what reuslts; did his constitutional law lectures include teaching by the Socratic method of questioning or just speaking; what community did he organize on the South Side and what was achieved; what is his attendance record in the Senate as a percentage of days on the floor or in his office versus days on the campaign trial?

Zeger, please list for me what Hillary Clinton has accomplished as a first lady and as a senator... I mean the things that haven't already been completely debunked like sChip, etc. You Hillary sock puppets are hilarious to try to tear down Obama's legislative accomplishments when they're much more than Hillary's. It's funny, because it seems like she wants to go toe-to-toe with Obama on scandals. She has Rezko and that's it. I can go back to Hillary and Bill in the early 80s and bury you guys with scandal if that's really what you want. Why can't we talk about the issues and what the candidates want to do in the future?

For the first time Rove is making some since. Exactly what has Obama accomplished?????? Oh..I forgot, All of a sudden he is
a professor because he gave a few lectures, he never voted on anything, oh, but he did vote present. That's really saying alot. If you watch the debates, his answer is usually I agree with everything Sen.
Clinton is saying, because he dosen't have a clue of what the answer
is.

I suggest he goes back to the college and lecture,OH, SO SORRY<
I MEANT TO SAY BEING A PROFESSOR.

GO HILLARY...WE LOVE YOU

First of all, why does the "righteous" republican party have Karl Rove addressing these "Young American's"? Rove is poison and a "false accuser" of the innocent (Alabama Gov, who has been released to defend his honor"; and a distorter of the truth. Rove is poison, and not qualified to "utter Obama's name". I am for obama, and know that he will be the nominee and win the general, while rove, hopefully is in police custody for his low down deeds.

OBAMA '08

You know that Obama is the Washington fear factor if he's being attacked by crocked Washington insiders. Like Obama has often said, the voice of the cynics will only grow louder and more dissonant... Karl Rove is just a clear example of that.

They know that with Hillary, they'll have a piece of cake to share!

Let the games begin. It’s sad how Obama supporters think that Obama is just going to win this election with ease. They are really underestimating the Republicans. The whole Wright and Obama controversy is going to come up even worse than before in the general election. Obama supporters really need to realize that the Republicans have something damaging to Obama under their sleeves.

Go Hillary! The fact that Rove didn't mention you tells me that the Republicans are a lot more afraid of your candidacy then Obama's. You would absolutely beat McCain in debates and the election. You go, girl!

This ends NOW! Would all the people who say they know nothing about Obama please open your eyes and ears?!! Do you live in a cave? Watch his speeches, listen to his sincerity, look at his exemplary Congressional record, his years at the University of Chicago, Illinois state Senate, read Dreams of my Father, Audacity of Hope. You will see how truly remarkable this man is! Stop watching American Idol and get involved in politics! This man has so much experience it would blow your minds. Obama is what America needs, right now more than ever! Ignorance has led the country astray for the last 7 years, don't let it happen again. Don't waste your vote by supporting Clinton or McCain! Obama won! Let's all come together!

It is ultimately the voters' choice of the president. Obama is winning for his above- dirty old politics, the past and change- for- the- future; the Clintons are for the same old past dirtiest politics, fear, race, gender,.... Republican is for conservative values, fear, race, gender,... So voters have a very clear choice. They can listen to lies, spins, ... to incite fear, hate, ... and choose one with the street- thug campaign or a better one.

Karl Rove is the scum of the earth. When he attacks Obama, it actually makes Barack look better.

You Obama-haters need to pool your money and invest in a dictionary. It's difficult to take you seriously when you write like grade-schoolers.

The world does not need the kind of man that Barack Obama represents. His arrogancy and his oratorial masterpieces will not be understood. A man who always has to keep his head and cheaks too high and a man who looks down at others has no international future. Obama will not have the abilities to restore the reputation of the United States abroad. As a matter of fact I strongly believe that Barack Obama and his supercilious behavior and language will create anger in foreign relations. He is not a diplomat!

An extension of Bush politics in America... What a joke. Americans are tired of the same OLD people making the same tired statements. Rove should really get a life.

Karl Rove does not need to mention Hillary's name, because it would be a waste of breath. Just the idea of Hillary will bring the Republicans out in droves. Obama hasn't sponsored any legislation? Rove doesn't believe that, but he hopes you will. Let's talk about McCain's legislation: McCain-Feingold, election reform - now that will sell with conservatives. What about McCain's call for amnesty for illegal immigrants? Another win. McCain is an EASY target, people! Stop listening to Karl Rove, stop spewing nifty little phrases you pick up from the media or your candidate's slanted missives, and think for yourselves, the one thing these politicians hate. The GOP is terrified of Obama, because he is threatening to change the terms of the debate, the ONE thing the conservatives have had going for them all these years.

Rove....on the sidelines?

His name, which you reported on, appeared on the fax transmission lines of McCain Texas delegation map. He may not be visible, but he's still Head Coach.

Romney a conservative? I'm laughing so hard it hurts. He's a liberal who dressed as a conservative for Halloween.

And yes, Rove wants to dispatch Obama now because they watn to face Hillary.

Fortuantely, even Republican monkey business isn't enough to put Hillary ahead.

It's going to be Obama vs. McCain, and Obama will win.

No Karl Rove, the democrats and the world will have a problem if we listen to you. Karl Rove has been part of the problem for 7 years and left the Bush administration with one solution only in attempt to save his you know what. Karl Rove is no master mind, he just worked for stupid people. A master mind would have a solution to this mess George Bush created. Karl Rove you are a master mind at creating disaster.

Rove defends criminals. Rove attacks decent people. You do the math.

This is of course the same visionary who projected the new Republican majority for decades to come? The amazing strategist who held led the Republicans to a crushing defeat in 2006? Why does anyone still listen to what he has to say?

can anyone say scorched earth?

Like they always say if they are talking about you, then you must be scared. LOL

I smell fear in the air. LOL

Oh and let's not forget this was the man that was telling everyone that the Republican would hold the Congress in the last mid term elections.

I think Rove is pretty much over.

Your fear of Obama betrays you Lord Turdblossom. Never underestimate the power of the good side of the force as represented by Obama and the Democrats. Just as in Return of the Jedi, your evil empire is doomed to fall.

Do people still listen to Karl Rove? Was it not Karl Rove who created President Bush on the 8th day?

You know Obama is doing fantastic if the person who helped George Bush steal the election from Al gore is attacking him! ANd what exactly has Rove's candidate done for this country besides make the wealthiest 1% even richer? JOhn Mccain is toast no matter who the democrats nominate. Im for obama but will vote for Hillary in a heartbeat over Mccain!

Obama
08

rove is absolutely correct. he knows the democrats will lose in november if obamas the nomination. next to mccain he looks exactly like the inexperienced, do nothing, empty suit that he is. throw in the black supremacist "mentor", and the swiftboat people will have a field day with him. he can't even win the big states against hillary.

Rove was optimistic that a conservative will be in the White House come January? Yeah, right, whatever. None of the three who are left standing in this campaign are conservatives. McCain is not a conservative and I remember the thugs on talk radio complaining endlessly about that.

Conservatives themselves would not vote for Romney, a man who is as close to Reagan as they will ever see again, because they were too bigoted to vote for a Mormon. So it's their own fault. They can either cry about it whenever McCain decides not to pander to them, or try to lie to themselves like Rove is doing. They made their bed; let them lie in it. And who cares if they take potshots at Obama while they are lying.

In any other decent society, Rove should be in prison doing nothing. Obama does not need to do the sinister things that Karl Rove appreciates to be electable. Obama is like an airfreshner that will obliterate the odors of the past.

Karl Rove's comments are indicative of how the Republicans will be attacking Obama - on his lack of experience and accomplishments and as a man who has talked big and done little. They will probably be pretty successful with this line of argument too. Remember how they destroyed John Kerry on his lack of consistency on the issues? Wake up, Democrats! You are committing political suicide by supporting Obama.

There you go, Rove wants Obama out, so the Republicans can kick the **** out of Clinton. Tells you all you need to know.

Why isn't Rove in prison yet?

Mc Cain is a moderate, he will be a good President!
Barack Obama? who knows about him, he is being served up as a fresh change of meat. I hope they know what they are doing!

I wonder which conservative he is referring to, since McCain is the Republican nominee.
