CNN

Jan,
I wonder who's payroll you are on Clinton's or McCain's. Your rhetoric seems more towards the spreading of hate and vicious lies. I guess someone else on here is paying attention to you also. Dont' you feel important?

Jan stick in the rear? It is not about you. It is about the country.

Man, you Clinton blowhard whine alot

American Idol has "Jumped The Shark" !

Hillary supporters should stop hating. She will also appear on the show asking for people to vote for her. We as democrats should come together not aganist each other.

Ironic that Clinton's lead is slipping in Penn. Ironic because it has to do with Penn, Mark that is. Here is how his new role is described: In a separate conference call, Clinton spokesman Howard Wolfson likened Penn to a newspaper editor who "plays an important role but isn't in charge" of the paper.

And Hillary thinks/says she handled this better than Obama? She acts like Penn is completely gone...what a farce.

Hillary makes it hard to like her, face it. She has too much baggage. She may have more expirence, I am sure dodging sniper fire is a resume builder. How about a try at honesty and credibility instead of double talk and false claims?

Kathy in Ohio -

The reason HRC and McCain got a one sentence plug is because it appears that they are just trying to keep up with the leader. BO already agreed to appear, taped a message, and provided a script. What more would you have added to this story for the other 2 candidates? Maybe if they are original and make the first move, then they will get the headline.

Hello all of you OBAMA haters.

The time has come and short of some catastrophic evil happening, Barack Obama will be the next president of us all living here in the States. Stop being scarred of positive, emotional change. Just feel good about whats going to happen in the next 8 years. Dont you miss that feeling? Articulate, Charming, Estute, Learned, Peaceful, all discribes this man. Dont lie about this to yourselves by APPLYING all of the negative that sometimes SEEMS to attach itself to Barack. Be not fooled, Barack is his own man.

Rob in Sacto, Ca.

Figures McSame and Hilldog would have to follow someone's lead. Neither of them is too original – more like relics, I would say, and I'm a 49 year old Dem myself.

OBAMA, OBAMA, OBAMA, THAT'S ALL YOU HEAR ON CNN. IT'S NOT HILLARY DOING THE NEGATIVE CAMPAIGN, IT'S CNN AND THEIR FRIENDS ON TV LAND.

MY GOODNESS, IF THIS WORLD IS FULL OF SUCH ANGELIC HONEST PEOPLE LIKE MOST OF YOU ON THIS BLOG, WHO NEEDS HEAVEN!!!!!!

OK HERE WE GO AGAIN. I ALSO THINK TO ALL YOU L- CALLED FOLKS WHO THINK YOU ARE SO SUPERIOR, WHEN HE DOES MAKE PRESIDENT, HOW IS THAT GOING TO MAKE YOU FEEL THAT YOU ARE STILL SUPERIOR TO HIM. GOD FORBID"""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""'GOD BLESS OBAMA

Ummmmmm.........let see........

"Hilldog", "Billary" shot Check

"Obamabot" reference......check

"Divisive attacks".......check

Ok Senataro McCain...the democrats are effectively hobbling themselves. Your free to walk into the White House and attack Iran at your discretion....

Only thing sadder then watching a Democrat decry another Democrat nominee and threaten to vote McCain...are the lives such an idiotic move would make should McCain get into office.

If you want to vote McCain...because you like his politics...great...but to vote for him...so you can vote against your own parties nominee...just sad.

Want to know why Republicans keep winning the house? Its because the Democrats keep losing the publics interest.

She was not a very sensitive person to call anyone else's children "Monkeys". That was not transcending stereotypes at all but declaring it abrasively. Everyone should get with the service WWJD?

This sucks! I wasn't even invited.

CNN is so pro-Obama it's sickening. Obama must be so proud to show his rock-star status on American Idol. This is exactly what his proverbial lemmings love.

Another small sample of CNN and the rest of the media loving Obama. The whole article is about him and his family loving the show and how he helping raise moeny for the charity. McCain/Clinton get one mention in the last sentence of the story. Way to be objective.

Numb skulls for Obama, this is another great opportunity to preach more biggotry to millions of people at one time.

what a surprise, a story about ALL candidates and CNN focuses the entire article on Obama. Shameless. God CNN could you be BE more transparent in your Obama-love-fest?

Ct,

You are ignorant! Obama's Wife (Michelle) was a partner at a major law firm in Chicago and decided to take on some non-profit work to enhance lives of those less fortunate. Her Husband is a U.S. Senator soon to be the next President of the United States and thus, Michelle doesn't need our tax dollars to buy her new clothes....she can afford to buy her own. Thank you very much!

Obama 08'

Jan ,
Come november weather you like it or not I think you will hear the words that will give you the worest night mare for 8 years. Ladies and Gentlemen the president of the United States BARACK OBAMA!
Yes we Can!!!!!

thank you whites and i as a puerto rican will show the black people WHAT LOYALTY MEANS AND I AND MY FAMILY LIKE MILLIONS OF OTHER PUERTO RICANS AND WHITES WILL VOTE FOR CLINTON, YOU ARE NOT THE ONLY ONES WHO STICK TOGETHER AND YALL DID THAT JUST BECAUSE THE COLOR OF HIS SKIN, AND WHEN HE INJECTED RACE INTO THIS RACE IN SOUTH CAROLINA ACTING LIKE HILLARY DID IT, JUST LIKE IN THE PAST SLAVERY DAYS YALL SOLD YOURSELVES TO THE WHITE MAN. AND HERES A NEWSFLASH FOR YOU WHAT HAS OBAMA SAID THAT HE WILL DO FOR YOU? NOTHING THATS RIGHT, HE'LL JUST BE YOUR TOKEN

Belle and I guess i was lost in your half page long rant about nothing. How does it in anyway relate to the story?Must be a Clinton supporter I hear it is mostly uneducated, weak minded people that are still supporting her.The rest of us figured out a long time ago she was a lyer and a joke! Oh and Jan I could not for the life of me figure out what the heck makes Obama a disgrace to this nation? His campaign is a model of how they should be ran even the republicans are using his management style now it is amazing his wife is right in this county there is always someone there to tell you you can't, you won't, or even worse it is a waste of time. Sad that people have devolved into such a dark place. I hope both of you can find some hope and happiness in your respective lives.

No Obama, go back to ILL and stay there, now i cant even watch American Idel in peace. What a poser

Another example of the media's lovefest with Obama. Hillary and McCain are just a footnote in this article. I swear!!!

Jan,

I feel that your comments are installed to draw up dissention among Obama supporters and Clinton supporters. I do not see this as a way to win in the general election. I do however see that condemning comments about either side shreds into the possibility of a Democrat being elected in November. I wish people would begin to see that when we focus on each other we do not see the real scary figure cloaked in red. I see McCain with Iron scepter in one hand and saber in the other and this frightens me. There is far more at stake this year then Hilary or Barrack. Its time people begin to see this.

Thanks

The reason most news agencies won't report anything bad about Obama, even the truth, is because lots of them are getting death threats if they do.

It's not just that they are against Hillary, they are afraid to say anything else

WOW, I'M SO IMPRESSED ! ! ! - NOT

Donations Please: Agreed! If celebrities, presidential candidates, or anyone else in the public spotlight is able to raise awareness about important issues and help raise money for worthwhile causes, why not?

What really saddens me is that Hillary continues to LIE!(NAFTA) LIE! (ALLEGED BOSNIA SNIPER FIRE) LIE!( IRELAND). Clearly she can't be trusted. Just ask the youth of America who, by the thousands, are convincing their parents to vote for OBAMA.

And she stooped to a new level for asking America (mostly women) to give her some POINTS because it takes longer for her to dress up and get ready than men. ARE YOU KIDDING ME!

Wow all the kids are gonna vote for the best song and dance team!

THE shuffle will win over the truffle! McCain can shuffle in to the WH, Obama melts back into the wood work!

As a Catholic, I will continue to say the Rosary for anyone who votes for Hillary. Great nations such as the Roman Empire, fell because of lack of "morality, integrity, lies and so on." These types of moral issues are more important than "wealth." With all their wealth, the Clintons cannot fund their campaign?

Isn't there one place where we don't have to watch or hear about these candidates. Now they are on TV shows. This is out of hand.

Blake,

You are absolutly right when you say "YES WE CAN"

But not with Obama at the helm.
He is a disgrace to this country.

Is this democratic battle over? Honestly, does Hillary Clinton have a shot to win the nomination. She is down in the delegate count, popular vote, states won, etc. She also doesn't have that big of a lead with superdelegates. She can say she can win the big states, but democrats usually win the big states. The only two question marks are Ohio and Florida – but if Obama is as strong of a candidate as he is showing he might have a shot taking away republican strongholds. So as I see it, Hillary Clinton is done. And I am a Hillary Clinton supporter! At this point, I want to know who I can support in the general election. I haven't voted in my primary yet, and I want to know. Please, enough with the . . . Al Gore could still get in and Hillary might go after big states . . . it's over. Don't report RUMORS – report TRUTH.

If Al Gore is being thrown in the ring – why don't we just have Bill Clinton run against McCain. He would be a guranteed winner. It wouldn't take "a" Clinton to clean up after Bush #2 – it would take "the" Clinton! Just a thought.

Well said Blake. There is no end to the odd and obviously cruel economic structures had by those who think they are "deserving" or "privileged" in some way to have it. For the rich to sustain themselves, they must have the poor to lean upon to keep prices down. How is that ok? I have always wondered why Americans put up with all the corporate greed and buy into republican lies of trickle down theory. It just does not and has never worked. To be American should mean to help those in need and to use the wealth of this nation not just to help those abroad but also to help those who need help at home. Lets buy everyone some bootstraps!

YES WE CAN!!!

No He Can't!

wooooooohoooooo!! Yes, We can!!

Given the fanfare and hysteria surrounding the Obama campaign, it was my impression that Barack Obama was the American Idol. Hopefully, the majority of the American people are not idolatrous.

Yes We Can and Yes We Will

Belle, JUST A GLIMPSE of what it will be like with Obama as president.

You think we have lost our freedoms under Bush- just wait!

What do any of the above comments have to do with this article?

Get off your soap boxes and stop telling us all 'what you just heard or know'. We don't care, we'll make up our own minds in November. Just Please SHUT UP already!

Put this message board to good use and ask people to donate to a very good cause.

By the way " Yes We Can!"

"equality"...Way to take one word and spin it out of context. You're learning from the best. Be it either Bush or Clinton, they are experts at half truths and spinning facts. What does your "Tax" argument have to do with this charity?

It's a charity...get of your high horse and donate your hard earned money to those who don't have the same opportunities as you do.

oh....and American Idol is lame. Noone should Idolize these people.

The Government has to level the playing field a little because, some people don't work hard for their money. And some people who would love to work hard for the money never get the opportunity because the rich get richer and the poor get poorer. It's an old sad story and the rich get mad when they can't buy that Beamer or Take that lavish vacation.....Get A GRIP PEOPLE, the world is falling apart....become part of the solution.....stop being a virus.

He bowls (?) and feeds baby animals to get Pennsylvania voters, surely Mr. I Will Do Anything to Win will sing to try and get votes, too.

The above comments show how much hatred is apparent in the country. I hope we can unite instead of stretching the facts and using it as an excuse for hatred.

More equal = socialism. May we all live miserably, not just some of us.

Belle–What the crap does that have to do with anything?

Barack Obama is MY American Idol!!

Belle,
you might not know this but you need to. monkeys are what racist group of people called an compared black people people to not to many years ago. Most aferican american are offended by that term or
being call that. thats why they made a big deal out of it.
This was the point of the speech sen oboma made.

we really dont know enough about one another.

Get real people, Obama lies too!

1. Rezko
2. Kennedys helped bringing his Kenyan father to the US
3. whether he heard Rev. Wrigh's hateful sermons
4. him taking money from the lobbyists in 2003 & 2004.

The Presidency is not a job for amateurs! We need an experienced leader! HILLARY is the candidate!

ALLL THESE HATERS JEEZ, CAN YOU PRAISE SOMEONE THATS DOING A GOOD JOB, ALL HE DID WAS ENCOURAGE AMERICAN IDOL PARTICIPANTS AND YOU GUYS ARE TALKING DOWN. Please give him a chance not a down talk. OBAMA IM FOR YOU EVEN IF THEY RIG THE ELECTION FROM U.!

To Hicks in Ft Myers-
Equality>
Why should we? Because that is what Americans do.

Rumor has it that Hillary will cover "Liar", by Henry Rollins.

That's the thing, Hicks, is the government HAS NO RIGHT under the US Constitution. IF people actually read the Constitution, then the Federal Reserve and the IRS would be found illegal in this country.

A government that promotes stripping wealth to promote those who are too lazy is pathetic. There will always be those in need, and the taxes I pay should go to those most in need, but the idiots living with tremendous debt because they have to have that house, car, pool, and plasma tv must live with their stupidity...

It seems most want the rewards with none of the work... congrats America

Giving Obama money makes this a better world?

Well, Hell! Send me some too and make my world better!!!

Well just what this contry needs, bring in some more kids to vote, you know them, the ones that already know everything.
Well everything except the history of this country or it's constitution. I came of age in the late 60's and know how it feels to think I know a better way. Funny how those stupid old people from my youth, got smater as I got older.

People please take a look at history. It is not always easy to spot the true leader when choosing on the basis of inspirational promises and charismatic personality. History teaches us that following charismatic leaders can lead to the destruction of a nation. And the overlooked candidate can actually be the one the nation needs.

No one thought that Queen Elizabeth the first of England would ever become Queen- so disavowed was she.

She went on to become the greatest leader that England ever had. She saved her Country from ruin and led it to prosperity.

So sometimes, the most hated- especially if hated just for being female- actually is the best choice for leadership when a country finds itself in crisis.

Compare this to the dictators that were going to make Germany and Italy great once again. They appealed to the young people because of their inherent charisma and their mantra of change, and their promises to restore their fallen countries to their former political and financial glory. All they ended up doing was destroying their countries and attacking their neighboring countries.

History can teach us valuable lessons. Right now we are exactly where Europe was in the 1930s.

Choose a REAL leader (Clinton) over a charismatic demagogue.

Equality??

Why should people who work their butts off, plan smart–earn money have to forfeit those hard won earnings for a more level playing field?

For surely–Obama's idea of equality–is taxing the rich to the point they have the spending level of the poor.

Why does government have a right to level the financial playing field in the form of taxes for those who make less but have far less personal sacrifice, responsibility, accountabilityk, and risk ?

Mindless news....

Here is another Tidbit from Carpentersville, IL about Obama's Campaign:

Obama's Campaign asked Mrs. Ramirez-Sliwinski of Carpentersville, IL, to step down as a Delegate to the IL Democratic Convention. Why?
Fearing for the safety of her next door neighbor's children that were climbing in a tree she asked the "Monkeys to climb out of the tree before they hurt themselves."

Her next door neighbor took offense at the term "Monkeys" believing it was a racial slur and called the Obama Campaign. Obama said that here remarks were "divisive and unacceptable" and asked her to step down.

Mrs. Ramirez-Sliwinski says she calls her own grandchildren monkeys when they are climbing in the trees.

Sliwinski was asked to step down as a Village Trustee as well because of the $75 ticket issued for disturbing the peace. **The Sheriff noted that another Board member, refuses to step down and he has been hit with 4 counts of Domestic Violence–He beat his wife with a baseball bat."

Source: Chicago Sun Times 4/8/08

Well, for someone wanting to win the Hispanic Vote....I don't think Obama is doing a very good job.

what happened to politics? are they becoming another kind of show-biz?
Where is the following the wisdom, the security of smart, intelligent, sound, realistic person? Why to follow a popularity? What is ther for ordinary, for most of us? Just watching, but not having it. Just watching the popular to have the fame, the money meanwhile we struggle. We need a wise, experienced politician, not a hype star. This "star" will just enjoy his stardom, and the promises will be just empty promises. His wife will run a fashion show ( and we taxpayers will pay for her clothes....and she will be proud to wear those clothes she did not work for...), what will happen to all of us?

Fools for Hillary...what a PERFECT opportunity for another lie.

I have to come over here to this ticker because cnn is using it's power of censurship to stifle positive comment on Hillary.
Why does cnn report Clinton's support is slipping but not give the true facts like OBAMA is outspending her 3-1 in media. AND she is still ahead!
Lets remind Penn. voters that ifn they vote for Obama , they are voting for an EMPTY SUIT(just words), a wife(who desperately wants to be First Lady("I've NEVER been proud of America"), a church(that hates america, jews, italions, whites) that has repeatedly violated non-profit tax laws as they relate to churches(NO POLITICS!).
You all cannot be serious, this man CANNOT be POTUS!
And his wife ,surely cant be FIRST LADY!
The ONLY choice the democrats have is Hillary and she WILL make a FINE POTUS!!!!
Because if she's NOT nominated, millions of her supporters (this one included!!) will not support him.

Maybe McCain will sing "Bomb Iran"...

Whatever!

Hey! Just like that movie American Dreamz. The idiot leader goes on the mindless TV talent show in an effort to increase his popularity.

Hillary 2008 !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

glad to see you could afford to give hillary and mccain one shared sentence

UGHHHHHHHHHH

Why do they want Obama, he dosen't give to charities, except large
amounts to his anti american church and Rev Wright.

The Clintons gave 3 times as much to charities so they should be
on, and I'll bet they will make a donation to the Idol charity.

I haven't watched American Idol this year. Just so caught up in the primaries. But I will watch on Wednesday, if Barack will be on–Go Barack.

Obama 08

I love Obama, he will be a great president.

Change:
Anyone who thinks Barack just talks about change, think again. When is the last time you remember our country looking closely at "Indiana", or North Carolina? He has already change our country, we just don't know it. Even if he doesn't win, and he will, I'll know that most Americans have spoken. Barack did not give up after Super Tuesday, and that's a good thing.

I'll never forget the night of Super Tuesday, Feb. 5th, I went to bed angry, thinking Hillary had won. When I woke up at 2:00 am in the morning, the tv was still on, and I couldn't believe my ears. We were still in the race. I love this country, and I can't wait until November.

America is shining, and we will gain the world's respect again.

Obama 08

Barack sounds more and more like a politician every day.
way to make it about YOU barack.

Thankfully the American people are opening their eyes. Pennsylvania, we're counting on you!

Obama '08

It's just all so entertaining!...Is anyone taking anything seriously anymore?

"Democrat Barack Obama's campaign confirmed Tuesday that the White House hopeful sent in a pre-taped video message encouraging viewers to make a donation to "help make this world a more just, more equal, and more hopeful place to live.""

............and he wants do it via Idol? Politics are not a showbiz!
........and how hw wants to realize this: "help make this world a more just, more equal, and more hopeful place to live." ????????
What way? Via show biz? Via donations to him? How lame...

yawn

Sure He will beat her in Pennsilvania, North carolina, Indiana then the game is over. Hillary start looking for different job, that is if any body will hire after seeing your true color for the last six months.

Obama sets the trend I love it!
Now watch Hillary and McBush follow his lead!!
You GO Obama!!
And those folks who say: Hillary or McCain is a flat out racist!!
Show yourselves!!

YES WE CAN BARACK!!!

OBAMA 08!!!!!!!!!!!

It amazes me that every word uttered by Obama is known and broadcast, but little details of Hillary are not. Do you detect a bias here? I do and frankly I'm tired of the constant pandering to Obama and his activities. None of which tell us anything about his capacity to run this great country.As for the polls, no national communication vehicle should state odds based on a couple of thosand polled individuals. That is not only not fair but very misleading. In all my years, (many decades )I've never been contacted to answer a national poll. I'm sure that many millions of people would like a more honest presentation of the numbers, instead of steering people one way or the other.

Sounds fun. I'll definetly be watching that.

Obama 08!

"Democrat Barack Obama's campaign confirmed Tuesday that the White House hopeful ....... " You say so CNN. Your favourite darlings are great, arn´t they? The campaign is far better than their candidate.

Obama should feel right at home on American Idol.

This is standard D.C. BS. What do you expect from person in POLITICS.

Let's look at the POLITICS.

POLI = Greek for "many"

TICS = Blood sucker

So, Politics = Many Blood Suckers.

Works for me.

That is really where they belong. Not running a campaign to be President of the Greatest Nation on Earth at least until Obama gets into power.

It is amazing that United flight 93 with the heros that sacrificed and took down this plane in Shanksville are being dishonored by Obama's presence in that state. They lost their lives to protect the capital from being hit by that plane and Obama wants to be in that very same capital as president when he and his church blame America for 9/11.

In only 7 years we have already forgotten our fallen countrymen. What a disgrace.

I see!
