Guess what Obama? We'd like it if you took that vow of silenece NOW! We are also sick of hearing you. Why don't you just gracefully step down, and let the real work begin with Hillary defeating McCain and take back the White House?

How about taking the middle ground– stop shouting platitudes about change at us and quietly tell us in specific terms what your positions are on all the issues and how you intend to achieve your desired results?

Oh great if Obama gets elected he is going to isolate himself in an office and solve all our problems. Well, many voters would like to see the first half of that plan —

A vow of silence? We love your speeches… and we know you don't like to hear yourself talk. You are not in this as a 'beauty' contest. You believe in change otherwise you would have caved in to the #2 spot when the party elders had Hillary coronated at the beginning.

Either way… Vow or no vow; you inspire so many of us.

Go, Obama

Maybe Hillary could take you out for a night on the town with the $800,000.00 her and bill got from Columbia to speak on behalf of free trade. Now because she is running for president she is telling(lied to) Ohio and Pa she is against free trade. Oh my God you have got be kidding.

At least when he does speak, it is with honesty and purpose, something Clinton does not how how to do. Her answer to serious questions is "How many angels sit on the head of a pin" followed with derisive laughter. I hope she keeps on talking until she cannot remember which lie she told and to whom!

Please don't because you are winning and we like when you are making noise. I listen to you even when there is no point I am waiting for!

Is this a story? Come on!

Wow. CNN, are you on the Clinton payroll? Oh, I forgot that Candy Crowley was at the event tonight where Obama was joking about hearing himself speak! CNN, give me a break. How about you talk about Hillary stating that she will pull out of Iraq even if the military doesn't advice her to do so because it's a civilian decision! She told the NYT this today!

I think it should be Hillary Clinton who should take a vow of silence. America has had enough of her lies.

jdona, do you know math at all. Tell your people Hillary and mccain to go away with their lobbyists. They will no longer drown our voices! Fresh face fresh voice! No country for old men

Is that a fact? Perhaps Sen. Clinton figured she had made her point. You finally chaired your subcommittee after more than a year, which (as she pointed) was the only real responsibility with which you had ever been charged. But she's right: all you do is talk, and these comments of yours embody that fact.

Barack Obama's Record

Housing: In the U.S. Senate, Obama introduced the STOP FRAUD Act to increase penalties for mortgage fraud and provide more protections for low-income homebuyers, well before the current subprime crisis began.

Predatory Lending: In the Illinois State Senate, Obama called attention to predatory lending issues. Obama sponsored legislation to combat predatory payday loans, and he also was credited with lobbying the state to more closely regulate some of the most egregious predatory lending practices.

American Jobs: Barack Obama introduced the Patriot Employer Act of 2007 to provide a tax credit to companies that maintain or increase the number of full-time workers in America relative to those outside the US; maintain their corporate headquarters in America; pay decent wages; prepare workers for retirement; provide health insurance; and support employees who serve in the military.

CNN is so baised it ridiculous!!!!!!!! This is taken so out of context. Hey CNN how about you POST a VIDEO of the speech and let the readers decide instead of plicing and dicing!

CNN= THE WORST POLITICAL TEAM ON TELEVISION

He shouldn't be the one stepping down…Last I knew, he was ahead.

OBAMA '08

And he said "and not give speeches" he went on to say how important they are. CNN link the video please.

You'r on to something Obama….go for it…..give us a little real "change" from your rhetoric!

I know, How about you keep telling the truth while Billary drowns in lies. Keep talking Barack Obama!! Indiana hears what you are saying. I love when I see your TV ads. I think it's story hour when she comes on. Come on America, See through her lies and do the gight thing. VOTE for OBAMA!!! Indiana for Obama!!!!

Obama 08

We've heard everybody's position on every possible issue. What have there been - 20 some debates?? This process has gone on way too long for this story to be newsworthy on the Political Ticker. Let's all grow up and move on.

haha, that is so funny. I am so tired of this presidential election too and I bet the people of America will be glad when it will finally be over!

Just looking at him in that picture, he looks like a person unbecoming of a president.

Do America a favor. Go back to Illinois.

Have you ever actually listened to him?

Senator Obama, there is no need to continue talking, Hillary is doing a good enough job of nominating you just by being Hillary. Scandal, lies, scandal, lies, she IS her own worst enemy.

Keep talking Senator Obama. Those of us that are really listening hear your policies and change message. We also are listening to Senator Clinton continue to lie, Senator McCain wanting to keep the troops in iraq forever. We also hear her daughter telling people none of your business.

OBAMA 08

GREAT IDEA!
Seeing that you have already won the democratic convention, won the most states, the most delegates, the popular vote, all the young folks, the mamas and grandmamas, and 90% of you know whom - why don't you just take a vacation until August, save your money, save your voice so that you can hit John with all your usual speeches (by that time most of the people would have forgotten them and they'll appear fresh again!)

Look forward to hearing you again in September with hopefully some Fresh stuff and maybe some real solutions.

I am always surprised at folks who demand specifics from the candidates. Especially people who are so adept at the internet. Go to Obama's web site it is all right there in great detail. I am sure it is on HIllary's site too.
As to how Obama will achieve results? He is building a base of support that will demand results from our lawmakers, it is up to all of us to make change happen. Hi is a bottom up strategy. Build your base big enough and you have less to push against and more people pushing with you.

As time goes on, Hillary is starting to realize she can't win.
No need to waste your time, voice and money

I believe Hillary is trying to run Obama out of money, that is why she is staying in the race

However, Bill is still the Chief of the NAFTA venture with Penn..
I hope PA take notice that they are still working behind the smoke screen to transport more jobs overseas. Being paid $800,000 so you tell me, who doesn't like USA, its Bill Clinton & Penn, sending all the jobs overseas.. Wake up USA..

Why don't all of you go to his website and see all of his plans? He has plenty and has given speaches on them all. All you have to do is listen.

hello hillary. where are you?

And, Mr. Barrack Obama. You are getting a great political endorser
very, very soon. Mr. Colin Powell. Do I hear Hillary still laughing because she laughed all day instead of answering questions about
her husbands $800,000 deal with Columbia. Bosnia story was funny.
Columbia story was laughable all day long because she couldn't
answer the questions. She laughs all the way to the bank of Dubai.
With Hillary it is a new lie everyday. If she cannot lie because she will
get hammered, she just laughs, and laughs, and laughs. Real Character and real scruples she has. Huh!!!

Obama 2008 or NO ONE

Please stop thalking now!!!!

I don't understand, why "can't" he? He'd finally start making some sense.

"The New York Times reports: (4/10/08)

Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton reiterated her campaign pledge to begin withdrawing troops from Iraq within 60 days of taking office, and added on Thursday that she would carry out the policy regardless of the advice she might receive from military commanders. "

"Well, let me just describe to you the way our system works," Mrs. Clinton said. "Policy is set by the civilian leadership. The president of the United States sets the policy. Our military, and thankfully so, carries out the policy that is set. You ask the military for their best advice about how to implement the policy that you have set."

Are you there or are you afraid of looking misogynistic?

Please take that vow of silence NOW!

ENDORSMENTS BZZZZZZZZZ MOMENTUM BZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ
HEAR IT HILLARY BZZZZZZZZZZZZ BARACKS MOMEMTUM IS COMING BACK bzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

this election is another example of how the u.s. public is severely mentally ill. everyone to the nearest corner for a time out.

I happen to know just the right office for you. Starting picking out paint colors because it will be all yours on about 1/20/09.

WE CAN DO BETTER-

LET"S NOT SETTLE FOR THIS INEXPERIENCED MAN…

PLEASE KEEP THIS MAN AWAY FROM THE WHITE HOUSE… HE IS OBVIOUSLY DANGEROUSLY INSANE!!!

Hillary-McCain '08

Hillary/Billary/Pennary
Which ever, they are a joint venture in destroying America.
Hillary Lied, Billary cheats, and Pennary steals
Hillary knew just what her husband was doing,saying she didn't agree.. Well, he is your husband, you reap the benefits of the $800,000 you hired Penn to work for you.. You stay with a man who cheats on you..
I had a brother that faught overseas, and had to dodge gun fire, I did not find that funny when you said that on Jay Leno the other night.
I didn't find it funny when you said you didn't have anything to do with NAFTA and said "Shame on You Obama".. When you knew your husband was the ring leader.. "Shame on you HILLARY.

Yes, Sen. Obama please do take a vow of silence. Lord knows you've been taking a vow of silence when it comes to your voting record during your junior term in the U.S. Senate. You missed what, something like 40% of the votes put before the Senate?

If it's not convenient for you to show up for Senate votes, will it be convenient for you to answer those 3:00am phone calls? Or will you just let that phone ring, and ring, and ring, and ring…..

Silence him now. What an egotistical jerk. He was nothing but a blowhard.

Hillary will win and then go on to beat McCain. If she doesn't get the nomination, McCain wins.

Wake up people - listen to what he is really saying. Listen to Michelle Obama - she was talking about how most people aren't asking for much, just a small piece of the pie …her rant sounded like Socialism. America is a CAPITALISTIC SOCIETY - Why should people share their piece of the pie to give to othersl. Work for what you want - whether you want more or whether you want less. NO, NO OBAMA

Obama has been campaigning too long - - he needs a break! This race is not over and looks like it is along way from being over.

Romney was right to quit when he did because he was looking at preserving the dignity of the party!

Hillary will tear down the party and the country if she is not elected (or even if she is elected). Hillary is George Bush!!

The only loyality Hillary knows and respects is "money"! Bill has made $109 million off the backs of the tax payers and Hillary just says that was Bill not me!

I think I can find you a office if you vow silence and not say a word I am tried of listening to your word they are all empty . Lets let the United States get down to business and Elected Hillary for Presidents The person who has the best plans to bring the United State back to the front .My Dad alway said that if you wont something done put a women in charge and he is right Hillary will do use women proud.

We would love it if you did…too much hot air

I agree!

I wish he would take a vow of silence, he voice is getting sickining. Also he wants to repeal "Don't ask, Don't tell?" Clinton said she wanted to do that a year ago. He is a little slow.

Wow! He is tied..

Very smart he trying to give the image that he is not desperate for the presidency …. unlike Hillary…………hmmmmmmmmm!!!
Interesting……….I don't thnik Hillary would ever say that………

Can you hillary supporters hear the end of the lying clintons champaign coming….. You should… It's ringing in americas ears loud and clear…. After the great people of PA has thier say it will be goodbye, and good riddance to the lying clinton dynasty. Oh yes…. A lie always finds it's way back to it's owner……

I would like to hear CNN ask the candidates more questions regarding global warming issues which is the most important issues facing humanity. We need to pay more attention to the subject now. Thank You Chas de Geofroy.

Keep on talking and don't let your henchman do the dirty work for you. Stop playing the bad cop good cop routine. It is getting old.
What are your plans for my country. That is what I want to know., before I give you the keys to the Whitehouse.

at least when he speaks he is honest and the price of oil wont go up, because he wont be sabre - rattling!!!

There just so many "inspiring speeches" you can listen to. The euphoria will soon wear out and people will start seeing Obama for who he really is. He will implode on his own. Get real, Obamamaniacs- would you have attended Pastor Wright's church for 20 years??? If you were honest, you would admit you would NOT. But you choose to look the other way. Yes, Hillary will stay in the race until the end, in spite of media, and Obama supporters demanding that she quit now. Of course they want her to quit, as they know she can win when the truth about Obama comes out. GO HILLARY!!!

He is so full of himself!

Please do!! Take a vow of silence, and we'll pay you to sit in the back office of a warehouse somewhere with a mathematics book.

Barack H Obama, We've got news for you. We don't like to hear your voice either. Because it only spews lies.

Whats the first thing that comes to mind when I think Hillary? lie

Whats the first thing that comes to mind when I think McCain? Bush

Whats the first thing that comes to mind when I think Obama? hope

look!! like it or not!!! obama is gonna be the next PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA. put"that" in your pipe and smoke it.. obama 09.

jdona……..don't continue to show all on cn.com how silly you are. Since WHEN does the clear front-runner in ALL categories step down. You will be signing a different tune after PA, NC and ID.

What a breath of fresh air… Real change… Someone who will shut up and listen…

Anna, I totally agree with you. The Gallup poll shows Obama is 50% ahead of Clinton who is at 42% for today. Hillary supports are not ready the information correctly or they're just don't want to acknowledge the fact that Obama is ahead. Look Hillary supporters its a done deal. Obama is going to be the nominee, period. Just pack it up and let's join forces to beat McCain. Maybe 2012 will be Hillary's year. O.k. Let's stop the fighting against each other and become real democrats to go after McCain.

Obamaniacs need to take the blinkers off and start learning the truth about their "messiah". Let's face it, Obama gives empty speeches and his supporters don't know why they are supporting him. Is this how we are going to elect our next president? want the U tube generation to choose our next president? think they've done their homework? of course not, they're just infatuated him him. That's all. This is scary. But Hillary is strong and will hang in 'till the end - and WIN, once the Obamamania wave crashes.

Dictators like to sit in their office & do all things the way they see it without accountibality to the people too.

Wow, Can Hillary say this

Barack Obama's Record

Housing: In the U.S. Senate, Obama introduced the STOP FRAUD Act to increase penalties for mortgage fraud and provide more protections for low-income homebuyers, well before the current subprime crisis began.

Predatory Lending: In the Illinois State Senate, Obama called attention to predatory lending issues. Obama sponsored legislation to combat predatory payday loans, and he also was credited with lobbying the state to more closely regulate some of the most egregious predatory lending practices.

Scandal follows Hillary around like dirt follows Pigpen. It will be an honor to vote for this man.

Obama 08

i hope you do take a vow of silence and stop deceiving all of america
and just to let you guys know hillary got endorsed by 270 pa people today
beat that obama!
HILLARY!

Clinton = Lies, misspeaks, and mistakes
McCain = Out of touch with americans and reality

Obama = The next president of the United States

The ones who should take a vow of silence are the blind Obama supporters.

Barack Obama can talk all he wants, I am inspired everytime I hear him. I am an educated young man and I hate how people say that he's all rhetoric, have you every heard him? Another thing people don't understand is that when he speaks, it is with sincerity and purpose, that's what separtes him from Clinton and McCain. Please America, grow up and vote this inspiring man in!
CNN POST THIS, PLEASE!!!

Hello, anybody home?

This is especially for Sen. Obama Supporters. Please read the previous ticker McCain raises fundraisers.

Hillary Clinton's billionaire friends are zeroing in on Sen. McCain, but they are very specific, this is not their only focus!!!!!!!!!!!1

I am positive most of these billionaires $ will be aimed at Sen. Obama. Please donate as much as possible, because this does not sound good!! Check it out for yourself! I am not even going to hazard a guess as to who this billionaire group could be. You guys will have to follow it up yourselves.

GOOD LUCK!!!

Hey Jeff Spangler, if you don't know where Obama stands on the issues you have no one but yourself to blame. In addition to his speeches, most of which are available on YouTube, there's barackobama.com/issues. He discusses issues the other candidates haven't even started to think about.

Don't rest on your laurels and get cockey.
We are listening: You have something to say, indeed. We may be slow responders. We are grateful that your humility, patience, and youthfulness allows you the tenacity to hang on in there.
Continue to be the genuine Y-O-U. That's another something them folks can't do. FACT!
That you are having to be strung out alludes to the fact that you aren't super qualifird. Don't let your guard down. Stay the course. Even when you can smell the victory, don't stop campaigning. Your advantage as the underdog is trusting you forward.

America is being purge from within because of you. Never allow the commonality of you be exploited. It is not so easily defended.

I can't wait to see you in th White House. My ear is yet glued to the ground. I can't relax unyil you are safely in the White House.

For you I am praying.

OBAMA in 2008

Michael: Free Trade is not the evil agent you believe it to be, nor is NAFTA destroying this country. Everyone agrees that NAFTA needs a lot of reparations, but once the problems are worked out it will actually help our economy.

i dont blame him with all this mess with the demons not picking the nominee now because they are waiting for something or some bomb to drop on obama but you no what i believe obama is a god send angel at the right time in our country when we need different politics

The person who needs to take a vow of silence is Hillary. And she can stop the hyenia laugh as well. URG!

Better his talking than her laughing, now and forever

I have an idea Obama. Why don't you show up to vote in the senate, why don't you do the job you have? So so many "no votes" on national security issues. Pity your supporters are so blind to your inadequacies. You are quite indecisive, not a good trait for a US president.

To "jdona", the first post - Why should Obama step down when he's the front-runner? You may be sick of him, but most of us out here think he's got a lot to offer.

And to "Jeff Spangler", the second post - Obama HAS outlined his positions and policies on virtually every subject that's come up. We heard his thoughts on Iraq in a detailed speech he gave as well as in his recent questioning of Petreus. We've heard about his health care plans in numerous debates. We've heard where he stands on immigration in debates as well. We've also heard all about his economic plans in recent weeks at the same time that we heard from all three candidates about their plans. We've heard where he stands on pretty much every subject that's been raised….race, the housing crisis, same sex marriage, spousal abuse, the environment, his plan to reward volunteer work with tuition credits, everything. Honestly, if you don't know what the specifics of Obama's positions are at this point, then you simply haven't been listening…so don't blame your lack of awareness on anyone but yourself.

Don't worry Obama, after all the clintonites vote for mccain in nov you won't have to speak again…and the american ppl probably won't hear from ya. Maybe you and your preacher both should take vows of silence.

Let me know if he EVER says anything worth hearing!!!

keep up the leadership soon to be Mr President

Why is this part of a speech made into a whole story. Why do you insist on isolating phrases and making them into something they are not.

Barack, keep at it. We'd rather let Hillary take the vow.

OBAMA '08!!!

In and with Obama,the world sees hope for a return on the world stage of the respectful america as it once was.After electing a retarded Bush twice,one could only hope,pray and wait for america to finally make the right choice:Hillary is in it just for the lobbyists and the world knows her as a liar.McCain is just a coward who found pride in bombing innocent vietcongs from thousands feet above and flying away as quickly as he came;a modern type hero in modern america!!!

In response to L Daniel's comment about Obama's visionary foretelling of the mortgage crisis:

WASHINGTON, DC — On the heels of reports that the housing market experienced its worst sales-month in 18 years and foreclosures are up 47% compared to last year, Senators Barack Obama (D-IL) and Dick Durbin (D-IL) today reintroduced the STOP FRAUD Act, legislation that combats mortgage fraud and abuse. In less than five years, there has been a 137 percent increase in the number of cases of mortgage fraud and abuse being investigated by the FBI.

Change, Change, Change, is what we will have in our pockets instead of dollars when you get done with the economy.

jdona, are you ignorant, arrogant, or both? Obama leads in every category, but you ask him to step aside. What a character you are!

How is it possible to say so much but say so little? The blank screen is alive and well. The Obama supporters are filling the blank screen with their hopes and wishes without really hearing Obama define his real intended changes. When will Obama clearly state what changes he intends to make so the voters can make an informed decision? I do not support Obama's gay rights position; is this for Larry Sinclair?

Please, Michael,

We don't want Sen. Obama doing a night on the town for whatever reason with Sen. Clinton. Can you imagine the fallout? Hillary the Queen of liars would have a field day with this. It would be better to just let her fall flat on her face. Sen. Obama should not have to witness her shenanigans. But I do know how you feel!

Oh please, please take a vow of silence! It would be so nice to not her your constant twisting of facts, reiterating issues that Hillary has already introduced earlier, lying, stammering, stuttering, and whining about how you've been picked on. Please do us that favor.

Hang on in there, Barack, the darkest hour is just before dawn.

Obama '08

this man is awesome — nothing like his politically bull-crappin' opponents — all they seem to want to do is talk a bunch of jive and collect money from PACS and lobbyists!

GO OBAMA — WE LOVE YOU!!

Unbelievable! He knows nothing about the issues now he lets us know that he knows nothing about the job if he thinks that he can lock himself up in his office and sit by himself at a desk and solve the problems facing this country. He reminds me of a guy I worked with once that went to another company because they offered him the manager's position. He had very little experience. The people who worked for him were all experienced professionals. He locked himself in his office daily because he had no idea how to resolve problems or to lead his staff. He was just too inexperienced. He actually was scared to death to come out because he might give advise that would show his incompetency. Of course the people in his office complained about his lack of ability and he was let go. Oh my God it seems like deja vu!

At least every other word out of Obama's mouth isn't a blatant, incontrovertible, USDA approved, 100% lie… right Mrs. Clinton?

Wish he would take that vow now. Obama should go back o his senate office and work on trying to fix some real issues. But that might make to much sense because obviously Obama is for regressive policies so any problems he may fix will only be done trough typical leftist non-working ideas. He has been fishy since the beginning and continues to be secretive and slowly less reliable.

NOBAMA.

well Obama lie Rev. Wright he never heard him say any thing against the usa his wife has the same views as Rev Wright then there is William Aryers the bomber from the 60s that is a close friend of Obamas and his wife then his close friend Rezko of Chicago and then Daley Of chicago just need to look up his friends that is his judgement. Think everyone should Know more about him maybe you might take acloser look at him. What he heard in church he has in the back of his mind hind sight 20 20.

jdona:
Please don't use the word "we" when you make statements such as that–unless, of course, you are going to sign your entry as being from you and another person, in which case "we" would be appropriate: but, you didn't, so lay off of the "we". Get it? I'm trying to tell you that you do NOT speak for me, nor for the majority of Democrats across this nation.

Obama cant win without clinton votes. Step down Obama and Let Hillary beat The republicans.

…and we'd be just as happy as he is if he would just shut up and be quiet for awhile.

OH NO. Obama can't take a vow of silence. If he gave up speech, he would have no substance whatsoever.

KEEP TALKING ABOUT CHANGE, NOBODY WILL LISTEN TO YOU ANYMORE BECAUSE YOU ARE LIKE AN EMPTY DRUMM ,HILLARY TELLING REALITY AND FACTS IN HER CAMPAGIN YOU ARE
MISLEADING PUBLIC WITH YOUR CHANGE BS,AND YOUR RACIST REV WRIGHT ,CAN YOU GET A GOV JOB IN ILL AND LET HILLARY AND MACAIN CONCENTRATING ON GENERAL ELECTION THANKS AUDIOS AMIGO……….

Yeah right! That's why he was an attorney and a professor. Please!

Yes please Barack do us all a favor and be quiet.
Don't speak again until you have a clear and concise plan on how you plan on fixing the problems of america.
For months all we have heard from you is change. But never how you plan on doing all this change. Oh right, you have to wait for Hillary to say how she's going to change America and then reword it and call it your own.
Please be quiet go home and let the real people who care about America stand up for it.
Oh and take your racist reverend your' finally' proud of america wife and crook Resko friend with you.
Everyone keeps saying how he's won more states, more delegates, getting more superdelegates, high in polls. yet he can't win the nomination unless Hillary drops out. So if you have all this and still can't win maybe it's time for you to drop out of the race.

It is good sometimes to listen than to talk. Example Bill
Clinton iwasadding more lies to his speech in supporting Hillary in the campain. Better get the facts before you speak. We are all tired of your lies. I guess that is how the Clintons work. "Feathers are things you can see, if you blew them out, you cannot get them all back. " Words are things you cannot see, how can you take them all back"?

Obama 08

Keep your "change" as it will not put food on the table nor roofs over the heads of the unemployed. We need Jobs & Dollars. You keep the change. President Hillary Clinton will put our country back on the road to economic recovery.

Dee: "he looks like a person unbecoming of a president"? Learn to speak properly before you criticize another's looks.

By the way, even if you had phrased your sentiments correctly, it would have been a silly thing to say.

This sounds like something The Clintons would say.

I was there and the point was valid and the crowd applauded !

Obama is great and I hope he is the nominee. But if Hillary wins I have no problem voting for her. The goal is to get a Dem in the Whitehouse. Either candidate winning represents significant change in America.

Obama 08

To Chris in Va.
I agree with you.

I don't get this story…How about BUSH/CHENEY administration discussing torture and signing off on waterboarding.

You are coming in crystal clear Obama, I hear you. Shake the haters off and keep going, you're almost there! Yes We Can!

Obama 08!

all you haters out there. you say he just talks but you don't know how to listen. all his policies are out there. you are cry baby, sore losers. pathetic!

He is definantly showing that he can't stand through this campaign and every week another skeleton pops out of his closet. Can we expect to have a new president to just get in the office, kick up their feet, and do nothing? We have a number of issues that can't wait for someone to learn how to be President. Obama should stay in the Senate for a bit longer before playing in the big leagues.

The people of PA really need to know just who donated money to the Clinton campaign. I wonder if people who are for NAFTA donated money and also if Marc Rich donated money to Hillary's campaign. Remember him, the guy who received a pardon from Bill, after his wife gave the Clinton's millions of dollars. I'm telling you people, Hillary is going to get a big pay day if you let her Universal Health Care go through. The people in Germany are crying right now because they have the same Universal Health Care Plan that Hillary wants. They received a mandate and they never knew how much iit would cost them. Now they are crying and there is nothing they can do about it. At least Obama is for the same thing, but he knows it will not be easy and at least we will know how much we have to pay into the medical plan. It gives us the choice, not make us pay for something we cannot afford. Wake up America.

Obama 08

ok, for all the dumb people in here, he is being metaphorical by never wanting to speak again. if you had to speak every day for a year with little to no rest, you'd wanna take a break, whether the break is a weekend or w/e. secondly, war is exactly not wat America needs right now (so Mccain is out of the question i guarentee you that many of mccain votes will be based on the fact that he is a white male, not a black man or a woman.)
secondly, the clintons have had enough scandals in the white house to last a lifetime, lets move on

My goodness. You HRC supporters have such a desperate attitude. Dont be mad that Obama has won more states, popular votes and has an insurmountable amount of pledged delegates!! Relax.

Maybe you should go to a HRC friendly blog…on HRCs website. Oh….oooops, I forgot you cant even post there either.

There is only a snowballs chance in hell you will ever see your comment.

How is that for heavy censorship and transparency!!

Every time Hillary or Lanny or Bill Or James or Geraldine say anything, it's a boon for Obama.

So…keep it up, sez I!

BEST THING I'VE HEARD FROM OBAMA YET—–PLEASE DO–STOP TALKING AND GO BACK TO ILL—BACK TO YOUR CHURCH–BACK TO AYERS AND BRING YOUR WIFE WITH YOU—MAYBE THEN SHE CAN GO BACK TO NOT BEING PROUD TO BE AN AMERICAN.

He is so full of himself that its pathetic. He says he would take a vow of silence if he could??? That's so others will chime in…oh please don't..please we love to hear you talk…on and on …and on and on…and on and on….and…oh shut up already! Crowley just loves this guy…she and Campbell Brown & Cafferty…its a regular fan club. His perfect theme song…You're so Vain.

He is such a good speaker compared to that cackle that comes from Clinton. I hate hearing her speak. It's like chalk on a blackboard.OBAMA 08′

It'll soon be over, Mr. President to be.

Does anyone else notice that he talks about the most rediculous "stuff" trying to connect to people.

He relates working at an ice cream place with wearing a hat that was not making it easy to pick up girls. Now, a vow of silence.

He makes no sense to me with these comments. Take a stand on issues, present concrete plans and answer questions that are asked.

Act like a President if you want to be President.

I just want to say

Thanks Hill Fat Butt!

I agree with Kentucky voter… Have you all actually listened to all the talk about nothing?… and why IS this a story?

An Obama supporter here. I do not agree with all of his policies but I agree with his direction. He wants to get the people involved with government again. He wants to open up Washington unlike Bush who doesn't want us knowing anything. Obama doesn't want yes men and women on his staff like Bush has. He says it's ok to disagree and doesn't think it's unamerican like Bush does. It's refreshing and exciting to hear something different. We need to hold him to it when he's elected but I believe he will stay true to his word. I am so disappointed with the Bush administration and members of Congress. I don't trust anything that comes out of their mouths and that's truly sad. I don't hate Clinton personally. I just hate her win at all costs attitude and her lies, sorry, mispeaks, attest to who she really is or could be as President. Didn't we have enough of that the last 8 years? No one is perfect…not even Obama. But I have to give him my vote because he brings something new and fresh to the table. I think this is just what America and the world needs right now.

Don't stop talking Senator Obama…you are head and shoulders above Clinton and McCain. Listening to Hillary Clinton is like listening to fingernails on a blackboard and if you need a good nap McCain's speech will do the trick.

Senator Obama in January 2009 you can go and sit in the Oval Office and solve America's problems - I am looking forward to hearing your State of the Union speeches that you'll be giving for the next eight years!

Obama - our next POTUS

i wish he would ..every time he says anything,it's all hot air..he needs to step aside to keep the party together

"Just looking at him in that picture, he looks like a person unbecoming of a president."

Now there's a refreshing way to pick a president - looks! I

"Do America a favor. Go back to Illinois."

Do America a favor: Vote Democratic. If you hadn't noticed, Hillary has no chance of winning. Seriously. But if you don't believe that, no problem - you'll be choosing between Obama & McCain in November.

Billybob why don't you take a vow of silence ? how could you say that hillary was tired when she was talking about her 'DANGEROUS' trip to Bosnia as if she did it once flashback she told these lies three times three differnt days
what is it with you and your wife you can't go day with out telling a lie or two or three four ….five ……………….

OBAMA O8

Obama, go back to your Hate Group, oh I mean your church. Please leave us Americans who love this country out of your Hate Trip.

I much prefer listening to Obama speak. He has great insight and vision. When I listen to Hillary I keep hearing, "you know", or she gets testy about something, or she laughs at the questions.
Who laughs at questions? Thats rude. And the question goes unanswered.
And now you never know if shes telling the truth or if she means what she says.
I mean she was all for the war in Iraq and now that she wants to be the winnner she says she is not.
This doesn't match.
Also her relationship with Penn just seems hypocritical.
Oh and there was the nasty sniping at Richardson because he did not pick her. I like Richardson and they intended to hurt him. They are nasty.
And her daughter and her snotty attitude over the Lewinsky questions. She gave the impression of being a complete rich snob. Yuk.

yeah, like whatever, right.

I am a 56 year-old woman who will vote Republican if Hillary is not the Democratic candidate - one of the 33% Clinton supporters. I do not understand his appeal. Why is an inexperienced, junior Senator from Illinois, someone who has, yet, to explain Rezko, and why he lied in the MLK day debate about him, someone who didn't help the people in his own Chicago district when they were in Rezko's slum apartments, someone who has yet to really explain how he could consider Rev. Wright his spiritual mentor for the past 20 years - why does the Democratic party think this person might be the best democrat they can put forth as a candidate? I guess I never "got" the Obama charisma. He's like a teenager to me - lots of idealistic talk, but yet to really be tested.

I want to watch all of the female Hillary supporters switch to McCain and vote against a womans right to choose.

Wouldn't that be ironic.

Silly democrats, no wonder you can't win an election….

All Obama does when he opens his mouth is lie. You Obama lovers is a joke. He's all talk and no action. The bills that he supposely got past is BS. WAKE UP AMERICA AND GET THIS SOB OUT OF THE RACE BEFORE IT'S TO LATE. GO HILLARY WE KNOW YOU CAN DO IT. JEAN

I'd sure be happy when all this is over and Obama becomes the next president.

I prefer Obama, but if Hillary wins the nomination I'd vote for her. I don't understand the 33% of Hillary supporters that wouldn't vote for Obama otherwise.

That makes me wonder… why exactly are they even voting for their candidate? The fact that these two are fairly similar is good enough for me, I'd like to see either of them win, but I prefer Obama. Maybe the 33% of Hillary supporters don't care that we'll stay in Iraq, I'm certain that 33% doesn't have any family or friends overseas.

I hope that either combination they're both on the same ticket come November, together McCain wouldn't stand a chance. I pray that that happens. I wouldn't want any other VP for Obama than Clinton, and I wouldn't want any other VP for Clinton than Obama.

Please do, anyways I think everything you stand for can be summed up in about 4 seconds. The time you showed your typical white granny in your ad. Obama man your gonna need hillary's supporters to win the white house so you better start reaching out to them, and Michelle asking people to get her more white people is not the way

Well, I guess you'd better drop your bid for the Presidency, then. Presidents give a LOT of speeches.

Why is it every time you say anything, one can detect the self-pitying tone?

A vow of silence may be what the country needs. A President who's actions are louder than his/her words would do us some good. Too many just talk the talk.

I don't buy it. Obama loves to hear himself talk. I, however, who once watched his DNC speech over and over again, can't wait til he stops now. He has dragged this whole process down and turned it into a gameshow. Tell me again why we want to elect this guy? Change? Inspiration? Sorry but to me he is full of himself and full of half-lies, mistruths, and is completely opportunistic. I do give him credit though for figuring out a way to full such a large chunk of the population as well as the media.

he used to be inspiring to some, before they figured out he's not really about hope and change, but about more of the same–talk, talk, talk…

somehow the picture of him sitting behind a desk doesn't really sound too much like change, or all that hopeful…

Yes, please shut up you empty suit. Go home, and let Hillary begin working on McCain. She is the only one with a chance to beat him. Nobody likes a spoiler…

Sure………Obama is SO STAR STRUCK! And then he acts likes he's not. That's one things that has changed our minds about him. Now all our family is for Clinton.

CLINTON FOR PRESIDENT!!!!

I just love Obama, I am a canadian woman and as much as I would like to see a woman be President, but please not Hilary. I am sorry my vote does not count, mine and a lot more from Quebec

Pay attention democrats, while you are squabbling like small children McCain has pulled even in the polls. McCain as president is what would be disastrous.

With each post I read that says childish, senseless things about Hillary Clinton, I picture a pimply faced teen sitting at a parent's computer. Can we please stick to the issues? Comments about a candidates voice or what their spouse said or did have little importance to voters with any sense of what this country needs. So grow up already.

I wish he did. Now THAT I would vote for

Its crazy to see people say they think the leader in delegates, votes, and states should step down to the #2 in all of these categories.

With the vote as close as it is in Penn., Obama will certainly end the delegate race far ahead of Clinton as he will win in landslide victories in many of the remaining states.

Its Over!

Obama Won!

Obama as president, will cause a racial divide unlike anything we've ever seen in this country.
If you think the civil rights days were bad just wait and see what's in store for you.
Poor naive kids.

Hey hello, I love to hear you talk .
If you talk to people they understood and follow.

We can't be silence now, this is the time the country need you to talk to them than ever before.
You are the only one who is new and people believe can change washington business as usual.

Obama say no to those who say you talk too much because no ONE can't silent the voice that matters.

Your speeches as made a big difference in the race for the white house.
Thank God you ran and gave people choices to choose from.

YES WE CAN ! YES YOU ARE THE NEXT PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATE OF AMERICA. MR. President Obama

even youtube kids knows your name Obama obama

I wish HRC would take a vow of silence! Seriously, I mute the TV or turn the channel when she's on.

Obama though…. I love hearing an brilliant, straight forward, charismatic person talk. Keep on doing what you do best! We love your honesty, your humor and intelligence!

Obama '08
YES WE CAN!

This isn't news….so Obama's been campaigning a lot and he's tired…well duh! Leave the guy alone.

Next year he's going to be giving State of the Union speaches.

OBAMA '08……..PEACE '09

I also would like to stop hearing you say, as I heard yesterday, that you would love to get on with it and have a great debate with a great patriot like John McCain.

I am almost too tired to point out the problem here… But… didn't Bill Clinton say almost exactly the same thing? And didn't Hillary get resoundedly criticized over and over again for ignoring Barack in those comments and thus implying that he was not a worthy patriot?

Why does the media continue to push the hypocrisy and the double-standard that is occuring daily in these campaigns!!!!!

Sounds like a plan to me. Then we could judge him on his actions…er, maybe not….

YEAH! The FIRST ORIGINAL thing the empty suit has said, and I TOTALLY AGREE!

Time to shut that big stupid racist yap of yours (we're all so tired of the change, hope, unity, ummmm, Michelle, can you bring a few more typical white folks to stand behind me - it gets me votes, I think - just keep typical white grandma to a subliminal sound bite - also, Michelle, I need a few American flags behind me so people can see I'm not REALLY anti-American despite all the speeches I heard in my hate-filled anti-American racist church for the last 20 years),

…..and while you're at it Obanana, why don't you shut up your big-mouth racist preacher and your big-mouth racist wife?????

Anyone notice the new poll showing Obama losing to McCain
while Hillary is leading Senator McCain by 7 points

But all you Obama supporters will have to find out the hard way.

You cant hide the phantom forever, he can't stand the light of day

What is happening in our country is troubling. War, Resession,Health insurance, Oil. The goverment as it is today has prooven that it cannot handle these real problems we are faceing. Lobyists and other special intrests are running our goverment. Obama is a risk because we realy don't know him, but sometimes great change takes great risk. I am ready to see someone realy attempt change, if he can acomplish just half of what he tell us he will do, we the people win !

This guy is just too ridiculous

I wish he would keep that promise.

I am really tired of the sound of him blowing his own horn.

He is an evil man.

I wish Hillary would take a vow of silence. Thank goodness for the mute button on the remote.

Good… now just shut up.

You are all spin and hype.

No one with a single living, thriving brain cell believes you are what you pretend to be.

Senator Obama does not need a vow of silence in our home. I hit the mute button on the remote control. I used to call it the "Bush Button" but now the mute button belongs to the junior senator next door and is called the "Obama Button." FYI: I was on the phone all afternoon for my candidate at a phone bank in anticipation of the May 6th primary. I spoke with a lot of Hoosiers downstate and they were split about fifty-fifty for McCain and Clinton. I did not encounter anyone considering Obama.

Let me know if Obama ever says anything worth hearing. Yadda Yadda. "Change, Change, Change." Yup, congress is just going to fall on it's knees when he waltzs down Pennsylvania avenue and give him everything he wants.

NOT!

I would believe him if he spoke in anything but platitudes. Over a year on the campaign trail and his voters still don't know what he stands for.

Obama can talk and explain to us why Michelle Obama ask for more "White People" to stand behind her while she gave a speech yesterday. Lou Dobbs reported it last night. This woman has more nerve than anyone I have ever seen. Maybe some of the white Obama supporters will get a chance to stand behind Michelle one day. Unbelieveable!!!!!

Way to go Obama! Hillary Clinton keep telling us lied about NAFTA like we forget that she was behind Bill during all those NAFTA meeting supporting him. Now that she want to be elected, she telling us that she opposed NAFTA. Come Hillary Clinton stop lying.
Also she keeps lying about her experience, what kind of experience that Hillary has that Obama does not have? Has she been president before? no! neither is Obama. Madamme Hillary your age does not qualify you as a president or give you any experience as a president unless you have been president before. This go for John McCain also. His age does not qualify him as a president or gives him any experience as one. If you want to talk about havimg experience as a president, George Bush, and Bill Clinton can say so because they have been president before. When it come to experience, Hillary, Obama, and McCain have the same experience but Obama has better judgment. We need a president with good judgment that can do things with our ally not to isolate us and give us more ennemies around the world.

NO SILENCE OBAMA. YOU HAVE TO CONGRATULATE HILLARY ON RUNNING A "GOOD" CAMPAIGN WHEN SHE HAS TO GIVE IT UP.

The reason he doesn't care to "talk"??
Because he is an ACTION man!!!
He doesn't spin, twist or lie to us…unlike Clinton.
He shoots straight from the hip!!
He isn't politically corrupt like the Clintons…..he actually cares about this country and NOT himself or how he comes off.
His actions speak louder than words….and it will be like that when he is our President too!!
Clinton thinks we're all fools…..and that we believe she actually cares about us who have lost our jobs……while she and Bill are raking in MILLIONS, partly earned from giving PRO NAFTA speeches.
BRADFORD COUNTY FOR OBAMA!!!!

There ain't a Zip , big enough for you're Mouth Mr…

If you silenced yourself… what would all the sheep who hang on your every and ever changing words do?

Me… I wish you would shut up- you are like a broken record repeating your own praises. I never did like a braggart and a cheat.

The savior cometh. Bow down all you little people

The guy is humble.

And for all the haters who label words of motivation, positivity, power and change as "hot air," it's pretty sad, because Obama's fund-raising, leadership and extraordinarily organized campaign speaks for itself.

Say what you want about this leader, but unfortunately, you and your negativity towards him, will be the true hot air.

Obama, Obama, Obama: GO Champion! You make us proud beyond imagination–and unlike your running mates, you don't have a scary ego to go with it. You're a star, and the world can't wait till you show these hates what it means to shine!!!

Close your eyes and picture the debate of all debates! Picture Hillary standing next to McCain and now picture Obama next to McCain. Now listen as they give their opening comments regarding the future of this country. Who is best suited to bring this country together? Who is best suited to bring grace and dignity back to the White House?, Who is a person first and politician second? Embrace change and be part of this wonderful historic moment, Vote Obama the next President of the greatest country in the world.

hey…listen silent BO…Hillary just got 3 more superdelegates today..the media is as silent as u pretend to wish to be!!!…again the media darling gets no news turned into news

The first thing out of your evil double-talking mouth that I can concur with.

Unfortunately… like all your other comments, this is just empty talk.

Make us all happy and actually stick a sock in it.

I think it will be sheer poetry to have Obama in the White House on the 150th anniversary of the Civil War and Emancipation Proclamation. I think his message that it is "we the people" who must revive and energize democracy with our full civic engagement and not one politician or another is much more important than the details of his policies–which, like any politician's, are subject to what happens on the floor of Congress as well as the compromises that are part of policy making. I believe Obama is the way of the future; that his populist ideology, his character and integrity and wisdom will make him an outstanding national and global leader. That he will inspire us to take back our government and our country from special interests. And I think those two little girls in the White House alone will cause a paradigm shift in American identity that restores our hope and our faith in ourselves and our country. I have not felt this way about a candidate since Bobby Kennedy when i was 15 in 1968 And if he loses–I think we will have lost a remarkable opportunity that may not arise again at the time when we seem to need it most.

For the environments sake, please do take that vow of silence. We already have global warming and your hot air is only adding to it………….

Obama who?

You should hear Obama talk….

"I don't recall having any conversations with Rezko about the house."

"I don't know exactly how much Rezko donated to the campaigns over the years."

"I don't remember meeting Auchi."

"I don't recall the non-profit companies I worked on as an attorney that were in partnership with Rezko."

"I don't recall hearing divisive comments from Rev. Wright."

"I don't remember writing any letters supporting Rezko's buildings."

'Are you ready America? Ready to do something different? Ready to veer away from the same old politics in Washington?"

when john mccain is president…you heard it here…you can hold howard dean….nancy palosi…harry reid and cnn responsible….
it's too bad they are so anti clinton….blame yourselves….

Yes stop the talk. It will even be a good idea if you droped out of the race so our presidential cycle will continue.

George Bush - Bill Clinton - George Bush II - Hillary Clinton - George Bush III - Chelsea Clinton …

These are the owners of the White house so do not be jealous!

At lease we alternate, unlike the Castros; Fidel - Raul …

America please support the unbeatable dynasty!!!

It is refreshing to actually root for someone. I am so excited about his candidacy. With Hillary I'm bored to tears, and I also feel she is in an exclusive club that regular people can't join. She only comes down off the mountain when she needs votes.

Go away Hillary, as soon as you lose this election.

Obama 08

electing someone should not be based on personality and a slogan yes we can which is borrowed from the cartoon bob the builder. we need someone with true solutions, and that is not barack.

Maybe this guy is different…how do you know when a politician isn't telling the truth…his lips are moving.

Barack you are no different.

Most of obbama supporters are foul mouth. Just like Randi hats her name and do we wnt them to elect our president.
Tina

It'll soon be over, Mr. President Obama.

Obama 08!!!

Go away, little boy - you're out of your league

You're just a silly little boy who reads prepared speeches well - oh, and you also have black skin, which you've used to your advantage at every opportunity - you play the race card so well, it's almost as if you're the second coming of OJ - you're black when it suits you (such as when you forgave your racist minister and threw your typical white grandmother under the bus in your - LOL - HISTORICAL (or should I say HYSTERICAL?) famous (or should I say infamous?) - LOL - "race speech" - oh, it won't be forgotten, that's for sure, at least by CNN, who I think is totally in love with you - at least Jack Cafferty is - do Jack a favor - let him know your cell will NEVER vibrate against HIS thigh

Poor Jack, he'll probably cry himself to sleep every night for the rest of his life…."Barack doesn't want me, after everything I've done for him" - he'll be like that car commercial….

LOL - the biggest racist of all time asking all us typical white folks to admit we are racist because we found Reverend Uncle Looney Wright's sermons disgusting

I AM LOVING THE IRONY!!!!!!!!!! WHERE, OH WHERE are Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson when you REALLY need them!!!!!!! I'd LOVE to see them on Oprah discussing how RACIST white America is because they won't vote for an inept, inexperienced, stumbling, bumbling, racist Black man

OH, this is BETTER than Jerry Springer!!!!!

McInsane wants more war, really?
McInsane hates war, really?

He knows nothing else folks, he will bleed this Country into the ground.

We are Safer because of the war in Iraq, I don't think so.

When can this war end, um, when there is more violence, I mean when there is less violence, I mean when I can figure out what is the difference between the two parties that want to kill each other, I mean when we have 10,000 troops killed, I mean when 200,000 Iraq people killed, I mean I have no clue.

On the housing crisis let the people figure it out thats what we do with our 100 million dollars safely in my wifes bank account, we struggle with the rest of the people.
Yes I see how you can feel our pain, no offense but I don't think the Clintons can either.

Vote for Obama 08

Does That Go For Michele Too!!!!!

What kind of president that Hillary is going to be because she is already negotiating free trade with nation that previous governments Democrats and Republicans have avoided to have trade with for various reasons. Her and her advisor already negotiatiating with Columbia. What is next for Hillary trade agreements? May be Iran, Cuba, Syria, or Korea.
