Sure Obama speaks in words I can understand. So do the other candidates. What's different is that the other candidates give us ideas on their plans on how to fix the mess America is in right now. Oborme hasn't said how he will fix it. Just that there is alot to be fixed. Well duh. Thanks for pointing that out to me.
As usual he sits and waits to see what everyone else proposes then waits for the people who are really running his campaign to tell him what to say.
Like that old lady used to ask…. where's the beef? He's an empty suit.
And no he hasn't answered why he lied about Rezko, Wright, his college days.. he hid out on an island . Typical politics.
Just keep voting present.

I live in Dallas, TX and there are countless amounts of different Anti-Hillary groups. Many have previously voted for her, but know they detest her. People really don't trust her around here. Thousands of people have switched to Obama. If she gets the Democratic nomination or even is on the ticket or has even a cabinet position in the White House, then I don't know anyone who would vote Dem in the Fall.

Hillary should learn from Obama. Attack your opponent (Rep) not your fellow Democrat. But I forgot that she is purposely trying to divide us all.

Do you hate America that much Hillary?

Update from the Great State of Pennsylvania - Obama is closing the gap, and remarks like these further are showing Pennsylvanians:
1) this man's charisma
2) his ability to see problems as complex that can't be fixed by simple "canned" solutions
3) that he is the antithesis of the "decisive", shoot policy from the hip current present we have, who:
1) has made my life worse off in 8 years
2) costed the US billions upon billions on an un-needed war, thousands of US lives, and just as importantly tens of thousands of lives of decent Iraqi people, while managing to greatly destabilize the region.
Barrack is a highly intelligent man, who happens to be half black, who has the potential to lead our nation, not manage it. He is the most refreshing political candidate since Bobby Kennedy, and somewhere, Lincoln is smiling, because if we are lucky, this is the next Abe. Go Obama 08.

let's make obama our savior and then allow us to fall into despair. Remember, a politician is not our salvation. Obama's plan is as shallow as McCain, and yet both sides think they are great. What a funny, funny sitation.

Yep… the new politician…

play the race card

disrespect the grandmother who nurtured and raised you

Bully your way to a slight lead

Attack, attack, attack

Not my kind of change.

I can not vote for Obama because I am afraid of what he will do to our country. Our country is in a terrible mess with high unemployment, high foreclosure rates, a war in Iraq that costs us US citizens $5000 per second. I like senator Obama I think he is one fine looking, talking man. I just think he needs to get some experience then come back in the next election and try again. Oh yeah, and while he is being the Senator of Illinois he needs to attend some work days and vote for what he believes in so us folks can see what he is made of.
Clinton 08

Obviously McCain's better late than never is working he is ahead of Obama in the general and Hillary is ahead of both of them.

It is time for Democrats to come together. Let stop all of this bickering. If Obama is the nominee we should support him and if it is Hilary then we should support her. Let's stop this foolishness if my candidate is not the winner then I will just vote for the enemy.

I AM JUST SICK AND TIRED OG IGNORANT PEOPLE NOT SEEING PAST THEIR FEARS AND DIVISIONS…IT IS JUST STUPID, ARE YOU KIDDING ME! THE FACT IS ALL THESE COMMENTS THAT ARE ANTI OBAMA ARE SO EMPTY…LET'S STATE FACTS OBAMA DOESN'T NEED TO COPY FROM THAT LIAR CLINTON, SO PLZ SPARE ME THE IGNORANCE IT IS CLINTON WHO IS MORE IN A MESS AND WOULD LIE ABOUT MORE THINGS!!!!THINK ABOUT NAFTA PEOPLE!!!!CLINTON WILL SAY WHAT IT TAKES TO GET ELECTED AND WE WILL ALL SUFFER IF SHE AND BILL IS BACK IN THE WHITE HOUSE, WHICH WILL NEVER HAPPEN.MCCAIN POLICIES WILL SINK OUR ECONOMY SO FAR THAT WE WILL BE 2ND WORLD COUNTRY!!!!!PLZZZ STOP BEING SO RIDICULOUSLY IGNORANT!!! I HAVE WATCHED THIS RACE AND MY MIND IS MADE UP OBAMA FOR PRESIDENT AND LETS GET BACK TO WORK IN REBUILDING A SHATTERED ECONOMY!!!!!!NO SPACE FOR IGNORANT CLOSED MINDED DIVISIVE PEOPLE

USA today= Europe in the 1930s
disillusioned
demoralized
once great power
on the brink of finacial ruin

Out came the charismatic leaders who rallied and inspired the youth with promises of change and a return to glory.

Sound familiar? Just like Obama.

And we all have read the Hatred the Obama supporters spew.

How can good come of all this hate?

In Nov- anybody but Obama

Heaven help us if another Republican takes hold of the White House. We will be doomed for 4 more years. I say 8 years of mistakes is more than enough!!

GO OBAMA08!

This windbag is all played out.

Nov is what counts.

The disenfranchised will never vote for a charismatic leader who can inspire the youth to such hatred as we've seen in this primary season.

Germany and Italy were in the same place in the 1930s- a once great power reduced to financial ruin- as the USA is today.

They fell for the inspirational charismatic leader who reached the youth with his message of change. Yep… we all know where that led.

Threatening to vote for McCain if Hillary does not win is foolish.

How many of you are actually republicans trying to convince others to believe Hillary is the best one to go up against McCain. Republicans want Hillary to run. They have been preparing for this for two years.

Look whomever wins the democratic nomination — Hillary or Obama will be trashed by the republicans.

If we do not want another 4 years — a 3rd term Bush only on steroids — we need to unite and stop this petty bickering.

Obama is my choice and Iam solidly behind him. I will vote for Hillary if she wins — although the math is not in her favour.

I can only hope the posters on this site will think again about what you believe is best for the country. If you want McCain because of his "experience" — well, think about Cheney & Rumsfeld's decades of experience and look where we are today because of their so called "experience."

I choose judgment over experience. I choose intelligence over ideology.

I chose Obama because he has both: intelligence and judgment.

Those whom say otherwise have not been paying attention.

Voting for McCain is voting for more of the same. He is not the pragmatic moderate as he and the traditional press portray him to be.

did you know that we Americans ashamed of saying 'I am an American' when we travel abroad, because of stupid white house politics???
did you know Obama already changed the Image of America all over the world???? don't tell me cowboy history on the 21st century ….. the 21st century Americans are coming to white house with Barak Obama!!!!!

This is for all the Clintonistas to think about:

Why has Hillary Clinton stood by her husband even when her husband was found philandering?

Hillary Clinton is nobody, if you take away her last name. The only great act of judgement she ever did was catch hold of Bill and marry him. Hillary Clinton became a senator because she was a CLINTON.

If you remove your blinkers and see Hillary without the name Clinton attached to her, she is but a very ordinary woman. She speaks in cliches. She has nothing new in her reportaire of policies. All those policies of hers are run of the mill left of the center policies. To be fair Obama is also like that.

But Hillary Clinton cannot be a leader. She could well end be a good manager but never a leader who can inspire a vision for a bunch of people let alone a nation.

The way she has handled her campaign is proof positive how she will mess up being a president. I for one do not want an easily irritable person as my president. I dont want a president who will cackle on being asked a tough question.

Hillary Clinton is none but a run of a mill politician who has only 7 years of experience as an elected representative. She got elected simply because she was a Clinton. For 8 years in white house she served as a cheerleader to Bill, as a feel good factor for American public to maintain illusions of the virtues of a good family.

Hillary Clintons experience as a first lady, as sniper gate showed us, is all hat but no beef.

And Clintonistas have the gall to call us sexist. Nancy Pelosi would have made a far better president than Hillary Clinton.

After the way the democratic party treated its loyal base…denying the vote to lifelong democrats- don't expect any loyalty come Nov.

My loyalty is to my country, my ideals and to the candidate I believe to be the best for this country.

That is NOT Obama.

I love it!

One poll shows Hillary doing better than Obama and all of a sudden Hillary supporters are paying attention to polls.

If you look at ALL of the polls it is very clear that Hillary should have dropped out after March 4th.

That is the truth. Those are the facts.

When do I get to start donating to Obama's General Election fund?

I can't wait!

Obama '08!

Heaven help us if another Republican takes possession of the White House! We have had 8 years of total decline.
Obama is the answer for all who truly love this country and want equality.

What??? Obama claims to actually have an "idea?" I'm amazed!

No Obamination in the presidency…..ever!

Hillary or McCain - 2008

ypu hillary lovers are sick, sick sick. if you can't put a positive out there just shut up/ no one cares what you think.

obama for president

The older Hillary democrats have an attention span greater than the latest headline.

Come Nov, we will still remember the hate towards us and our candidate. We will not vote to save your butts- from going off to war in Iraq, from a draft, from a sinking economy.

You are all so smart… we will let you figure it out.

I will be fine under McCain. My democratic party vote has ALWAYS been cast for the benefit of those LESS fortunate than myself, and for a better future for the young.

But NOT this time. You young people are just not worth it. So full of hate.

Does anyone else notice that Obama just copies from Clinton and adds his own twist…

Week after week I have witnessed this happen. I will not vote for this man who has no oringinal thought.

Please people, don't forget the ringers who switched parties only to throw a monkey wrench into the Democratic primaries. The ranting and hatred you are hearing is so "Limbaugh" They are being polled as Dems but they are not. This is true of Ind's too. They are being polled and counted unfairly. Don't listen to them. If I am wrong and McCain gets elected, God help us all. We are doomed as a nation.
Never again will we be admired or respected in the world. We have been a laughing stock since the Clinton scandals. Then when Bush was elected it just got worse. When he was re-elected our standing in the world community dropped to zero. Our money devalued, what there is of it, jobs gone and our kids fighting an unwinnable war. How bad does it have to get for you to see beyond your petty prejudices?
If you allow the GOP to rule for another 4 years I will be forced to admit that Democracy has failed. GWB is a dictator and McCain will be the same.

What is your answer:

"I feel I should not follow the same rules that other people do"
TRUE FALSE

If you answered "true": You must be a Hillary supporter

If you answered "false": You must be a Obama supporter

Just a quick emotional test in politics!!

Obama supporters… listen well: The general election is NOT a caucus. Four Hundred voters will not make the decision- nor will you be able to intimidate and bully those who don't agree with you.

If you want to fight- vote for McCain and fight in Iraq.

The rest of us Americans will vote our conscience: Hillary or McCain.

You should NOT have alienated more than 50% of the democratic voters.

In the end, you lose. Hate and cheating and derogatory attacks on your fellow democrats is NOT a good strategy for winning an all-important election.

When will Obama's mask fall off, Look into his eyes and be afraid!
Hillary is on an ego trip, It's ageing her terribly,
McCain is the only way out of this hole we're in'.
We're being sold and traded down the river folks, seasick yet?

It really doesn't matter if he attacks McCain and say all the right things, I will still vote for Hillary Clinton, she has what it takes to be a leader in this mess our country is now in.

We can't put our support towards Obama he is just to inexperience in whole ordeal that is facing our country.

Obama, please drop out of the race for the American cause to win a war, that you did not support nor can you handle because you have no clue how to resolve the problem. Leave it to the Professionals that under stand the situation.

Who is going to believe on CNN polls punditry in Pennsylvania?Wait for the shoker on 4. 22.2008!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

OMFG! I love how these "people" who continually use the term "empty suit" and "no substance" just brainlessly lift those terms from what they hear in Hillary's campaign and use it as though they understood what either term meant! For those of you who claim they will vote for McCain if Obama wins the nomination, you REALLY need to step back and see the situation we are in economically AND militarily speaking! Almost 4 dollar a gallon gas and foreclosures going through the roof while big business gets bailed out?? Do you NOT realize that this is a result of having a REPUBLICAN power lock on all 3 houses of Congress before they were kicked the hell out in 2006?!! If you want more of this crap we're suffering through, complete with a recession, then you just go ahead and vote for McCain, yeah, that'll teach Barack, yeah…and while you're at it, kiss your kids goodbye as they head off, not to college, but to their DEATHS in McCain's 100 year war!! WAKE THE HELL UP and stop with this crap; I expect it from playground children not from supposedly thinking adults!

Oh Well…
Obama supporters, the general election is NOT a caucus.

You can not bully and indimidate people into voting for Obama.

Dean and the DNC, made their error by forcing Obama on the democrats, and swiftboating the better candidate, Hillary Clinton. They are meaningless now. Democrats will not vote for Obama just out of party loyalty. The party showed the lifelong democrats NO loyalty in this primary. We will return the favor in Nov.

Get ready for war all you young people. I know that you Obama supporters LOVE to fight- or is it just with insults? Do you wither under the test? Me?….I will be getting ready for a leisurely retirement.

Believe it or not OBAMA is going to be your next president. All you Hillary supporters can decide to be crazy and vote for McCain and we will be fine with it. Even if it means winning by one electoral vote Obama CAN and WILL get it to be POTUS.

And make my day by voting john and lose the right to your body you feminists. I'll be so glad because you would have succeeded in setting back the feminist agenda by 100 years. Thank God not all feminists are like the Clinton supporters. I always knew feminists were smart. Ha!

So buzz of you losers!

I want to leave a message for Nancy Pelosi. Madame, if you don't stop trying to help Obama win, the Democrats will lose the majority in the Congress and then you will be out as Speaker of the House. You need to stay neutral. And if Clinton and Obama decide to get toether at the end of this, it is none of your business. Now, as far as this article, Senator Obama is less experienced than both Clinton and McCain. His ads on TV are just shameful. Senator Obama does not sound sure of himself. I will never vote for Senator Obama in November. So I suggest you pay close attention to this poll. Senator McCain will beat Senator Obama in a landslide. Release the delegates in Florida and Michigan. Senator Clinton is the only one who can beat Senator McCain.

You Obamanazis need to get a life.

Obama has no chance of winning when former Democrats like myself are refusing to vote for someone as inexperienced as Obama.

Both parties have shifted to the left, and many Democrats are going to vote for McCain.

You always have to pay the piper.

Obama supporters will reap what they have sown.

All that hatred for Hillary Clinton and her supporters will translate into a McCain win in Nov.

I hope you enjoy being the fodder for his Iraq war. But please, do NOT count on the Hillary supporters that you have demeaned, denigrated, insulted, called idiots, to come to your rescue.

You chose to play foul , and bashed Hillary, instead of supporting either candidate. Now you will hear the Hillary democrats speak in Nov with their ballot and their votes. We do not resort to bully tactics, screaming, name-calling, and viscious insults. We simply use our freedom to vote. You denied some of us that right in this primary… but it is the election that counts.

It must be nice to have the luxury of never having to explain any proposals that you have, and instead just bash everybody elses' plans. And then if anyone speaks against you, you can just simply call them a racist. Go Bama!

I thought Obama said he wasn't going to go negative. I guess this is just one more thing he said that he is renegging on. BTW where is Michelle these days? Haven't heard much from her since the Wright flap. I guess they don't want her saying anything, since the racist philosophy of her church might just pop out of her mouth.

Dude, get a new script!

The Hillary supporters may have a viable point. We need a strong politician in the White House. Knowing well that politicians in America are self-serving crooks, Hillary may well be the best choice. She certainly holds the credentials of 35 years of lying, cheating, and scheming to serve her self interest and ambition.

hilay will be the nominee, hilary thinking outside the box, it obama who is losing sight. hilary knows how to play the game. and i believe obama is in for a big suprise a few days before the next vote. hilary has been quiet. man you got to love her. she may lie however i know who and where she coming from. there are no suprise when it comes to her, i already expect that from her, i would love to have her fighting for me. with hilary you know what your getting, obama who know how big his lies and past are.

hilary 08

hilary 08

To Hillary's and Mc Cain supporters… Grow up!

Hillary Clinton has always been a finger-in-the-wind politician. Those of you accusing Mr. Obama of copying her better get your facts straight since your straight talk is beginning to sound a lot like McSame's. He's not the cheater ( read: rule changer) and liar that this strong woman candidate has been, has become and will always be.

Obama speaks many words, none of which have any meaning. He can talk circle around the moon and back, but with no plan of action they are still just words. You keep saying change, now it the time to start saying HOW!

Sen. Obama done good with this one. Hahaha

Only when he speaks the truth whereby he's considered to be stepping out of his place in comparison to the other candidates do the troll and sock puppet brigade rush up on their superiority platform spewing hatred, negatvity and ignorance. Go Barack! LOL

to Go Girl Yay, rocky was a fictional charactor. Balboa was in a gay porn flick, billary is comparing her self to this? no offence to gays, just making a point about how both are two faced. billary yeah right. mccain/bush is a loser also.

Do you McCain supporters know what an economic mess Bush has put this country into and how much the war debt to China is a part of that? The lack of oversight in the banking and mortgage industry has allowed this foreclosure crisis to blossom because we sure don't want to regulate our buddies now do we? Why do you think McCain with his endless wars, admitted lack of economic knowledge and dare I say, obvious memory issues would be an improvement. Four more years of McBush is our economy's worst nightmare.

Any Democrat who says he/she would vote for McBush is a complete fool!

Obama advance: 'Get me more white people'

From the account in Carnegie Mellon's paper, the Tartan, of a Michelle Obama event in Pittsburgh:

While the crowd was indeed diverse, some students at the event questioned the practices of Mrs. Obama’s event coordinators, who handpicked the crowd sitting behind Mrs. Obama.

The Tartan’s correspondents observed one event coordinator say to another, “Get me more white people, we need more white people.” To an Asian girl sitting in the back row, one coordinator said, “We’re moving you, sorry. It’s going to look so pretty, though.”

“I didn’t know they would say, ‘We need a white person here,’ ” said attendee and senior psychology major Shayna Watson, who sat in the crowd behind Mrs. Obama. “I understood they would want a show of diversity, but to pick up people and to reseat them, I didn’t know it would be so outright.”

I'm not sure there's any real reason for outrage here; every campaign, at least implicitly, includes race in the staging of events like this — even a campaign whose supporters chant "race doesn't matter." But they don't usually get caught doing it this explicitly.

And (if you didn't pick it up from the bowling) it does give you a sense of the community Obama's trying to reach in Pennsylvania: whitefolks.

did hillary return all the money she got from the criminal norman hsu??? just wondering???? what she got like $800,000??? not sure…

I am bemused all the Republican supporters are out in force today, trying to help Hillary win in PA because they know they can only beat Hillary in the general election.

Obama '08

hey Adam in Texas it seems you have not read much or study much on these issues! certainly not educated the speech on race was all his!!!! his on words no speech writers nothing and in the debates he articulates very well that is what happens when you graduate valedictorian of one of the greatest colleges in the world. one of the biggest things I love about his message is we have to educate are people very true because after what i read on here it is clear many of them did not get much from high school.

Go Obama 08

Time after time, on this site and others, I see Clinton supporters saying "If Obama wins the nomination, I will vote for McCain". Far fewer Obama supporters say they will vote for McCain if Hillary were the nominee (though many of them would certainly stay home come November).
Well Clinton-McCain democrats, I hope you reconsider. However if you don't, it might not be such a big loss to Obama's chances in the general election. You are the ones who voted for Bush in 2004, aren't you? Kerry was 'too French' for you. Obama is too black, eh?

As a Democrat, I always knew that if Hillary Clinton and John McCain were candidates in the general election, she would get my vote. As far as Obama is concerned, I was ambivalent about whether he or McCain would get my vote. Today, at hearing Barack Obama's facetious and mocking attack on John McCain, my ambivalence has disappeared. As with all defined "talkers," Obama has now talked himself right out of a trip to the White House.

As Pastor Jeremiah found, there are some things that are just sacrosanct and untouchable, and that's deriding this great nation we live in, and making mockery of a man that gave to this country five precious years of his life under the most tortuous conditions Obama can only imagine. As was feared, this maverick that is Obama has gone too far; talked too much.

I agree with the Hillary supporters, Hillary should stay in until the last primary vote. Every citizen should have the right to spit in her lying face by voting to end her presidential bid.

Here is a thought for today:

Barack Obama has NEVER said VOTE FOR ME BECAUSE I AM BLACK. You would think so as often as these clintonbots scream about playing the race card (makes me wonder if they know what that means)

BUT

You OFTEN hear Hillary Clinton saying "IT IS TIME WE ELECT A WOMAN FOR PRESIDENT"

THAT my friends is playing the GENDER card!

This has been your " Moment of clarity"

That is all.

You Billary people are crazy!!!! She copies him throws mud, gets money from A gay Brit, lies like a rug, and all of you dummys fall for it. If she gets in office kiss your jobs goodby. They will all be in Mexico and we will have to go there to look for work while Billary and he sorry as&%d hubby live on there millions. GET A BRAIN WILL YA????

Obama or Nader 08

Obama the follower again… what is he going to do when he doesn't have Clinton to lead him or people to write the words that spew from his mouth??

OK, how is Obama going to pay for all of his "dreams"??? Ask his friend/business partner Rezko for a loan??? Obama may walk the walk and talk the talk that the kool-aid generation wants to hear, but his plans are unobtainable.

Also, Obama needs to lose his arrogant nature as if he won the nomination. Try to look humble as if you really care about us blue-collar workers.

This guy is such a tool, what a farse that he's even being considered. What have we become that such an inexperienced mouthpiece is even in the running for this office. Always spewing his kumbyah platitudes and little else. Except of course when he's talking about embracing our enemies. And some say this poser isn't sympathetic to our enemies causes. And where do these progressive fools get the notion that they have to like their leader? It is every intelligent Americans duty to destroy extreme liberalism.

YO.. nice right wing analogy of "you should have read the fine print, so screw you"… regarding the guy who's brother lost his house…

i did notice, however… there was NO such "read the fine print, screw u" regarding the part about the Bear Sterns bailout…

??????

well… How 'bout it?? don't they get the "it's a free market" speech too?

When all the elections are completed in June, Obama will be able to concentrate on pointing out the needs people really need to know about McCain.

Nina: let go of the Rev. Wright & Rezco stuff - you life will be much better for it. If people brought up all of the Clinton things there would be no room on the blog.

I have to laugh at such stupid crazy people on here saying the same thing about Obama over and voer and over and no matter how many times they say it it is still not true how many post on here saying Obama can't win! since the beginning of the primary people have been saying that and well hum he is winning guess these people never learn. When he is at the inagural ball i wonder if they will still be saying he will never win just plain stupid! read more than just the headlines get off just one web site and explore the issues and everyones stance that is why everywhere he goes his numbers climb people actually get to know him. Then they find out of I have been mislead or mis spoke to about him. DUH!!!!!!

Go Obama 08

Is it any wonder that Obama will be the Democratic nominee? After 8 long years of George Bush and his illegal war, why would anyone with half a brain (Democrat or Republican) vote for John McCain? He's too old, too narrowminded, and too oprtunistic to even be considered for such a position. And he obviously wants to keep the war going since it's "going so well". What a (bad) joke!

The Republicans will most certainly try and "swift boat" Obama but, in the end the effort will fail, and we will finally have a president who can fill the shoes and restore the Constitution.

Obama '08……PEACE '09

Obama is the only one whom has the insight to realize the United States is tied to China financially. He is the only one that realized that it was foolish to invade Iraq. Are we grounded in reality or are we just hateful. Please lets get someone in the White House whom does not have their personal finances tied into policies that this country cannot afford, and does not vote for a war that shows no evidence of ending. It is easy to change your views in the middle of the race. I prefer Obama because he is consistent. What is so difficult to understand. Why wipe off your nose to spite your face.

SINCE WHEN DOES OBAMA HAVE A PLAN, OTHER THAN HILLARY'S?? HE IS A COPY CAT POLITICIAN, WITHOUT A RECORD OF HIS OWN TO RUN ON!!!! HE IS ALWAYS MISUNDERSTOOD, & CONTINUALLY REPUTING HIS FRIENDS& PASTORS. ARE YOU REALLY SURE HE IS WHO HE SAYS HE IS??? WHY IS HE ALWAYS INVOLVED WITH PEOPLE WHO HATE AMERICA???? IF HE IS THE DEMOCRATIC NOMINEE, I WILL VOTE FOR MCCAIN!!!!

Right now when it comes to who will the presidency?I cannot predict However I have this confidence that both Hillary Clinton and John McCain wil be on the General Election docket.The winner,I know I am biased-but Hillary Rodham Clinton will win by circa 5-6% points.

As Senator of Illionois what has Obama accomplished in that state?

Obama, needs to get out of the race. I would rather have Hillary then Obama. He is to much of a unknown. He was the worst voting records in congress. which the economy didnt go under til dems got control. But thats a different story. With Hillary we know what we are going to get. I heard Obama speak and he never gives a clear anwser. He blames everything on someone else. Getting On McCains case about introducing housing legistration. Hello whats he doing? He quick to points fingers at people other then himself. Im a independent voter but on May 6th Im voting for Hillary.. Hillary 08.

All you people that vote for obama i cant wait till i can say told you so. He will turn make my Nation part of the Gobal System. Which is the begining of the Endtime. But To all God Will be done.

Funny..the pot calling the kettle black…..

so why is it OK for Obama to attack McCain, but it's wrong for Hillary to attack OBAMA…..

Obama will be on the BOTTOM of McCain's shoe by summer if he gets the nomination……I WILL BE LAUGHING EVERY DAY……..:) CNN your bias is quite disturbing……NICE ATTEMPT at cherry picking polls……you are purely pathetic and a disgrace to journalism………..

I guess Obama must have sweet talked his grandma to come up in his defense after throwing her under the truck. Obama, you sweet talker you, but you can't sweet talk this grandma 'cause I can see right thru you boy. I know you are lying about everything. You just want to get in that white house so you can get you crooked and anti American friends in there and hurt us more. You want to be in control.

Obama never has solutions either.

What? Obama going negative? I can hardly believe it! I didn't think he did stuff like that - the "old" style politics. Oh wait, whatever works, right? Just like his commercial says "I don't take money from oil companies" - and then we find out that he does. Is someone LYING, yet again? Certainly not, he would never do that either would he? Would he? I also like that his grandmother has surfaced (and Michelle has disappeared). He has to show off that "TYPICAL" white person to get some white votes. I just can't buy into this "change" thing and the "Yes We Can" logo. Not working for me! I think it's clear who should be the next president -and it's not the senator from Illinois.

Those Clintonians here are copycats of Clintons! The same trash and lies… and mediocrity. As the polls show HC has the support of stupid uneducated, uninformed people who very easily cold be manipulated…They can't even see what is coming.. Their Idol - that garbage Clintons will be history after April 22…Even Penn desn't support them anymore..

G.

You people crack me up talking about voting for McCain if your nominee doesn't get elected. Honestly, you submit this country to four more years of Bush tactics. People are losing their homes. Gas is nearing $4 a gallon. Our health care system is a joke. The government is bailing out financial institutions instead of home owners. People in New Orleans still don't have a place to live 2 years later. Our education system is last in the world. Our sons and daughters are dying in Iraq, for what? You sound like a little kids who say"its my ball and I'm going home" Grow up. We cannot afford to allow this country to continue on its present course. Let be honest, Clinton is a opportunist, disingenuous, and sometimes just lies. But you know what? If she wins the democratic nomination she gets my vote. This election is not about me, and how I feel as much as its about the well being of our country. Patriotism is not something you wear on your jacket.

What's the latest on Obama's misuse of church resources that could put his own church's tax exempt status in jeopardy and end his campaign??? The IRS has opened an investigation and there are very credible allegations that there was a misuse of tax exempt resources to promote Obama'scandidacy. A certified letter was sent by the U. S. Dept of the Treasury to the United Church of Christ in February 2008 .

Bye, bye, Obama……

As Winston Churchill said, "The best argument against a democracy is spending 5 min. with the average voter." For those of you who say you will vote for McCain over Obama if Hillary doesn't get the nomination - have you really thought about what it means to have another 4 years of Republican rule? For heaven's sake, think of the Supreme Court and how damaging a right-wing court could be for our country. I would probably throw-up before voting for Hillary, but I will not be a party to a 3rd Bush term. Wake up, people! Look what happened in 2000 and 2004. Please, please, please don't let that happen again. The country and world cannot afford it!

after reading this blog you can see why hrc supporters are the least educated people.
they dont even know that the McCAIN is the opponent. obama and clinton are from the same party. (hrc supporters had a tough week so we can feel your anger to get back at obama but we obama supporters are waiting for the next big lie from clinton)

TO WILL…
WOW - are you kidding me????
I thought that was a joke before I read it twice!

Maybe you should do some research….
Hillary has been THE economic candidate since the beginning…
SHE is by far the strongest candidate on the economy and most people know that - even CNN said that.
She was on with Jim Kramer's MAD MONEY twice and she blew it away talking about the economy…he said she and Chris Dodd knew more than anyone in Congress about the economy…her web site if you dare go there can tell you everything you need to know…
As for the war - OBAMA has ALWAYS been the one candidate who said in EVERY debate that he would have all the troops home in 16 months - of course we now know he is backtracking on that statement - it wasn't "politically" correct….Hillary is backed by more than 30 generals and officers and is on the Armed Services Committee….
let's see what else - NAFTA she always disagreed with and this has been documented….
healthcare - her plan is now supported by Elizabeth Edwards - need I say more….
have a good day Will………

Mr. McCain is carbon copy of George Bush, so if you are satisfied with Bush then support big Mac. If you want change vote Democrat

The cheers for Obama will quickly turn to groans after the Democratic Convention when the realization hits the party faithful that they yet again painted themselves into a corner with a losing candidate.

Obama won't lose because he is black.

He will lose because when the electorate gets a real good whiff of him, they'll see him for what he is - just another populist politician with sensibilities far too left of center for a real presidential contender.

The Democrats are going to hand the white house back to the Republicans on a platter, and it will be their own stupidity that does it.

Obama is going after McCain in this article, which is why, for the life of me, I don't understand why fellow democrats (Hillary supporters) are bashing him for it!!! I expect it from the looney conservatives, but democrats come on!! Let's unite! Otherwise we are gonna see more war, more corporate greed, more conservative pro-business judges, more religious right-wing fanaticalism, etc…

Obama OR Hillary '08!!! Either one should work for all of us.

OK. Mr. Obama, please explain, if you're the candidate of change, why is it you think Jimmy Carter should not meet with leaders of Hamas? I think you have said you would reach out to our enemies and seek common ground. That we as a nation should lead. I guess its tough sticking to your guns in the heat of a political campaign.

If John McCain understood the economy at all, he'd actually plan to do something other than more corporate handouts, and more Bush-style economic policies. How is it that Conservatives can pretend to know anything about economics, and yet always seem to get them wrong? Reagan Recession, Bush Recession, Nixon Inflation, Hoover Depression. I see a pattern.

Obama has legitimate plans to help our economy. Hillary has… a speech she gave last month. McCain has, Not a Clue!

"writing checks with other people's money" is the same BS we have heard for the past 8 years. Iraq No-bid contracts, Enron, Bank bailouts are just examples of taxpayers money at work to benefit corporations.
Say no to McCain.

MCcain will be elected President.
Obama will be selling used cars on the south side of Chicago
and all will be well
The Business of America is business and war is good for business.
And of course McCain was not tortured That why they called it the
Hanoi Hilton. finest koniac and cuban cigars and dede maou
strip dancer every nite You leftist are so pathetically weak and
inferior to the norm, sad yet true

Obama is counting his chickens before they hatch. I dont believe God will permit him to be president. He is empty headed, also racist and arrogant. And so is his wife. God will not permit it. He has not given up on the United States, the hope of the world.

Apparently Barak and his followers have selective hearing. This 100 years comment is going to come back and bite him in November. We the public know what McCain said and we also agree that we may be in the Middle East for more than 100 years. Just like we are in Japan and Germany for more than 60 years.

Does anyone suggest we leave Germany or Japan. Maybe that is where we need to start. If Germany and Japan, two industrial powers,
had to spend money on their own defense, instead of relying on our
military, maybe they would not have the resources to out produce our industry and sell their vehicles in the United States, thus undermining our economy.

Its funny listening to people talk about Obama and they really have no idea of how the economy is actually run. Oh but he's going to raise taxes and he's has no plan, and he's all talk. Give me a break. He spells his plan out every time he speaks on the subject of the economy. Are you not listening to what he is saying? He Is also talking about not spending a billion dollars a day in Iraq and bringing that money home. And oh by the way, except for the giving black people aids comment, the rest of what wright said is true. We just don't to admit it. We did bring crack into this country to pay for military actions in south america. This country is run by white people. We have bombed more countries that anyone else in the world. We have helped dictators into power when its in our best interests. We did tell black people they could not eat in our diners, ride our buses, go to our schools. The army infected an entire black airborne unit with std just to see what would happen. The tuskegee airmen. The government finally apologized for that last year. So back off the I'm not a racist bit. Wright was not preaching hate, he was preaching anger.

Keep trying to deflect off of yourself, Obama…you can't erase the shadow of your shady character and dealings

Who cares about the words racism,bigots,indifference.
tolerance ect exct
those words are just words leftist bleeding heart liberals use
to ge welfare
if wanting people to quit having children out of wedlock [70%]
quit selling drugs,quit robbing,raping and murdering innocent people and go to school and get an education and be a responsible citizen. If that is racism
I am a proud racist
MCcain 08

Obama *Pretends* to understand the economy, but what economic background or experience does he *really* have???

Socialism *always* ends up most hurting the ones it intends to help.

Obama's pocies are as close to Socialism as we have seen in for a very long time.

Obama is without a doubt SMARTER than McCain and Hillary put together!!!

Yes we can! Obama can screw up this country more than it is
Change we can believe in! Of course for white people since he will consult with Wright as to what to do with you "typical white people".

Obama = bigger governement, bigger affirmative action laws, drivers licence to illegal immigrants, withdrawl of our troops regardless of the concequence.

Obama = Wright = Ayers = Farrakahn = Michele Obama

McCain is an elderly man with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder.

Do we really need this running the country at such a sensitive time in history?

I say NO!!!!!

what a sad day for the grand ole USA when all we have is a old fart done past his prime a smooth talkin black guy that hasn't done crap to speak of and Bill's wife. we are in for 1 bumpy ride for years to come after retard leaves office. As Americans we deserve to have someone in charge that is truly for the People, but that will never be…I say Vote for none of the above……..

The USA will always be at War! It's a Super Power, that's how it got that way… The only way you keep what you have, is if you fight for it.

Borack Obama is a Wimp. That's why he Freeloads in the USA.
He's never fought for any Country in his life. Leader??
No just a Bleeder….

Okay, Republicans you have been playing the Democrats for weeks. The time has come and the rest of the world is ready for the Dems to remove the Republicans from the White House.

People claim that the money used to bail out the irresponsible "homeowners" will not come from the taxpayers but from the $500 Billion we save from tha war in iraq..

NEWSFLASH!!! Who's paying for that?!?! The government in itself has NO money, only what it takes from it's citizens. So whether you spend it in Iraq or to those who should have never even been allowed in a bank in the first place, it's all coming from the same source!

Obama = Modern Day MLK!!!!!!!!!!!

The O in 08!!!!!!!

I am confused. CNN is so busy filing stories about Obama's job at an ice cream parlor and his vibrating phone that they forgot to tell us what Obama's plan is for the housing crisis. I only remember hearing Hillary talk about. a plan. Obama's criticisms are paper-thin when it comes to McCain. Obama is a Marxist when he comes to the common man, but an oligarch when it comes to his own private ambitions. In fact, all the candidates are oligarchs. Let the best oligarch win!

Elisabeth,

There are lots of people with common sense in jail. Hillary is not special because she has common sense. All the candidates do. Barack connects with people and that goes a long way.

No, Hillary should go home, count her millions and leave the rest of us alone.

Here come the liberals. All slander and no facts. Some of you do like that liberal sour grapes Kool-Aid….

Ask yourselves this….

Why when the government gives Billion Dollar Companies you tax dollars is it GOOD for the economy and great Government.

BUT

Give a few bucks to TAXPAYERS so they can stay afloat long enough to KEEP PAYING TAXS it is Welfare????

Julie it is not egotism when it is true, the simple fact is unless Ms. Clinton wins ALL remaining states with better than a 60-40 split AND no more than 100 of the remianing superdelegates (a little over 400) go for Mr. Obama she will lose and he will have sufficient numbers to win.. the math is simple it is Ms. Clinton who is so egotistical that she cannot see that and the Clinton News Network who are trying to make everyone believe this is a close race so they can pump up their ratings.. sorry but these are the facts, check it out even CNN has a delegate counter program that will show it to you.

Only Hillary can beat McCain in the general election. The republicans will fight tooth and nail with Obama and swift boat him. The Republicans are afraid of Hillary because they know she can win.

Smart Dems will vote for Hillary.

Why are we in Iraq? I thought we went to remove Saddam Insane from power. Didn't we already accomplish that? Now we have a bigger mess that we think we can clean up. How long have Sunni and Shiite malitias been fighting? Oh for only about 7000 years. Are you kidding me? We think we can end it in 7? Whatever!!! It is not going to happen. We think we can build pride and patriotism into a people who do not even like us. What kind of a dream world are we living in? McCain does not even know the difference between Sunnis and Shiites. How can he even begin to understand the thousands of years of hate that has gone on between these groups? It is time to leave Iraq and let the people who live there live their own lives. We need to focus on our real enemy in Afganistan. As an America citizen, I do not believe Iraq is a good investment. We need to allow Iran to help stabilize the country, and Barack Obama will work to do just that. Because I guarantee the war will not end otherwise.

I'm an Obama supporter and will vote for him in November, but I think Hillary is going to win PA. Yes the polls are getting closer, but don't count your chickens… She will win, but then he will win North Carolina, and hopefully Indiana.

I just know PA is going to be tough. Now trust me, if he wins I'll be the first one screaming and jumping up and down. But we have two weeks to go, and Hillary hasn't thrown the PA kitchen sink yet. Look for more comments about Barack's pastor, and some new dirt. After all this is PA and Clinton must win. Her henchmen are digging up things as we speak, probably racial. Be strong Obama supporters, you know it's coming, especially since Hillary has no scruples, or morals, or decency.

We can take her.

Obama 08

Mike do me a favor and chill out with the arrogance bit. Obama takes a stance and calls his opponent out and all you see is arrogance? Are you O.K?

Obama is the clear choice… especially over John Mc-Bush!

McCain is clueless on the economy. I cannot wait until McCain has to debate Obama. He will surely loose his temperand show how he is too far past his prime to make any real change.
Go Obama!!!!

Nina,

Obama sat down with the Chicago Tribune and gave a very detailed interview about Rezko and has also talked about Wright on a number of occasions. Some of you really need to take time to read and research for yourself and stop listening to Fox.

Those polls are so inaccurate. I can't imagine a single Democrat voting for McCain no matter who the Democratic nominee is.
Those numbers are fale fale false!!!!!

"Obama the great deceiver" What? you live in box mate?

Hey CNN.. I checked ALL POLLS for today April 10- they all show Obama ahead of McCain and McCain ahead of Clinton . There is no such AP poll that you have on your web suggesting that Clinton is ahead… ?!! Please correct your mistake, or tell us the truth that it was sent to you by Clinton camp..You have to be very careful with such numbers.. because ALL POOLS are available online and it's easy to compare with 'what 'you are using… Thanks,

Geof

Why would anyone that has half a brain vote for an African-American - how about an American!

NoBama talks about Change - how much Change does the best country in the World need!

CNN,

I'm sure you won't post this but as an independent since you can post what you want from my comment.. I hope making me look like I was bashing one canidate and not talking about all of them in my comment was worth it because you will lose me as a follower of your news online!! You are a pathetic excuse for blogging. Nothing in my comments were bad. I expressed my view on all canidates and for you to post one line out of contest is wrong. You are not my homepage anymore nor will I follow the news on line with you anymore.

Then JULIE, you would have failed your party and the people who most share your values. Obama who I could care less about is far closer to Hillary than McCain will ever be so he gets my vote in the end. Wake up sweetie, it's not just about you.

THE UNIONS LOVE OBAMAMAN in Pennsylvania. Yea, ladies.

It is true. Senator Obama cannot come up with any ideas of his own. He has demonstrated this from the start, especially during all the presidential debates. He is not experienced enough to run our country. His arrogance is showing more minute by minute. I sincerely hope that Hillary Clinton will be our nominee. Senator Obama's speeches are just words (not necessarily his own) and mean nothing. It is only words. What has this man accomplished compared to Senator Clinton? Not anything that I can see except for being divisive and negative. GO HILLARY 08!!!!!!!!!! YOU WILL BE OUR NOMINEE!!!!

Also, Democrats, Obama and Clinton have 99% the same policy. Don't flop on your party and your need for a great new direction in this country just because your candidate wasn't picked.

Why would anyone that has half a brain vote for an African-American - how about an American!

How comical !! You Obama-bots are crowing as though Obama has won both the nomination and general election. I LOVE that with all the bad news being reported incessantly by the media (economic downturn, higher gas prices, Iraq War, Mortgage crisis, etc) … John McCain is EVEN with both democratic candidates.

You guys should be MILES ahead… but instead half the country is behind McCain. And when one of the two democratic candidates gets shoved off stage and there isn't a joint ticket…. it's over folks. Disenfranchised democrats, Mich/Fla voters will either stay home or vote McCain/Nader/etc - giving the election to the Republicans… Uh-gain.

you know i am tired of reading all these post from people who can't read or don't bother go to his web site everything is there and mike Obama does not copy anything from his lying counterpart she got her policies from the lobby and corp American. Read and study before you post you just make yourselves seem like empty suits.

Go Obama 08

Maybe Obama can offer some Hope or some Change or maybe even some Sunshine and Moonbeams to help folks with their mortgage issues. Oh Look! Here he comes now, riding his golden magical unicorn!

Obama has NEVER copied any of Hil-LIE-ry views, statements or opinions!
Hope you all saw the interviews with the General Patreus.
Notice Obama's specific questions on the progress of the war and exit strategies. Then notice Hillary quoting speeches from this person and that person - PATHETIC!
Notice the headlines that said The General has met his match - Obama! NOT Hillary!
These misinformed Hillary supporters need to get their act together!
I did!

I would much rather hear how Barry is going to solve our economic issues rather than hear his typical negative rhetoric about John and Hillary.

Isn't Barry the guy who doesn't need to attack his opponents because he is always right the first time? I really do want to know specifically what/how/why he is right on economic issues!

. . . and hopefully it'll be soon before all the republicans and disillusioned Hillary supporters really get behind McCain.

Obama is not being arrogant in attacking McCain. Clinton attacks McCain as well. That's what Dems are supposed to do. You Clinton supporters are so use to attacking another Dem that you can't focus on the real enemy….McCain

Obama '08

It seems ridiculous for republicans to be talking about democrats raising taxes when no one needs to raise taxes if 3 trillion dollars wasn't being spent helping people die in the middle east. That's enough to pay for universal healthcare several times over.

What is McCain's plan in Iraq? How is it new or helpful? Republicans can talk about the harm that a pullout can do because under their leadership we won't see an end to the war until they are finally ousted from the white house, effectively sticking the dems with the real work.

There's a difference in talking with people and talking down to people…The Obama's talk down to people… The problem is our young generation is too ignorant to understand that!

We cannot sustain the cost of this war. It is that simple. We are indebted to China so much that we have no leverage in the global economy let alone the olympics. We are tearing down our military by not being able to support it properly in the many many places where we have a military presence in the world.
McCain has misspoke not once, but at least twice, regarding his knowledge of Sunnis and Shiites - the 2nd time in front of General Petraeus. He is simply to old to hold up to the pressures of the presidency.

Hey Julie,

Why are you splitting the Democratic party?
Why are you voting for Hillary?
Do you like being lied to?
Do you like being mislead?
Do you like to be embarressed being a woman?
Why do you not want the best person in the White House?
Hillary is Not the person who should be elected.

OBAMA'S GODDDDD!!!

Obama cannot and will not win the election if he is the Democratic nominee!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

As far as commonsense, sorry but the Hillary lady just doesn't have it. Yrs ago she said she was not a "stand by your man" type of woman, and that's just what she did-she stood by her sleeze of a husband. Why….for her own polical aspirations. Commonsense you say, where was her commensense in Whitewater??? I can mention a few other things but don't have the room here. Too many ???? with the Hillary Rodham Clinton lady.

Barack has nothing in his portfolio. He has no solutions for the problems but big mouth for a change. I believe if Barack will be the Democratic nominee against McCain then I am sure John McCain will have a landslide victory. This will be a good lesson for Barack. Go away my friend….

Most of the people being foreclosed on should not have bought a house in the first place. The bankers were stupid as were those who bought the mortgages. Why should the taxpayer bail out either of the parties.
It will just encourage more stupid action by banks, etc.

And why didn't Obama answer the question as to whether he would withdraw troops from Germany, Japan and the multitude of other cou ntries where we have large garrisons doing nothing? Why should we subsidize these economies? Obama is getting to be too political. It is time he gives some answers instead of merely criticizing McCain. Is he becoming another Hillary?

Joanne, why don't you do what no one else has been able to do. Tell us exactly what experience Hillary has. Please spare us talk of being in the White House with Bill, Monica can make that claim.

I'll be honest, before I knew Obama I was leaning towards Hillary. And that's the truth. But listening to him and realizing that Hillary is not always honest. It is a no-brainer decision. Why would I pick a president who knowingly lies. I won't do it.

Obama 08

Julie - agree with you 100%. No one in the democratic party, not even Hillary could get me to cast a vote for Obama.

Hillary for President or its another year for Republicans.

Hillary's words are lies anyway. Why would Obama want to copy them. Hillary has also credited Obama with some things. Stop nick picking and move on.

Obama 08

Julie,

are you voting for a principle, an idea, an ideal (call it what you want) or a person (in this case Billary)?
Are you a democrat or a republican?

Thanks Jane, you said it right.

I strongly support Obama, but I will vote for Hillary if she pulls out a win. Whatever you think about the Democrats, either of them are light years ahead of McCain. Please Dems, don't cut off your nose to spite your face.

Democrats 08 & 12!!

Obama, I just want you to know that Jay Rockerfeller is a courageous
man who is on your side. He couragously called McCain a
"Warmonger" yesterday. And to McCains face. Can you imagine
that. Jay was mad. You have a friend in Jay. I like that man.

I love how the Clintonites keep going on and on about Obama copying from Hillary, when in fact, it's a provable fact it works the other way around. IT'S DOCUMENTED, FOLKS, GET OVER IT! Hillary can't stop lifting Obama's rhetoric.

But as far as plans go, they both got the backbone of theirs from the Dem platform, but both added their own bits here and there, enough so that Obama has actually gotten Bloomberg's endorsement for his economic plans, whereas Hillary did not. That should tell you a lot right there.

If you don't know about Obama's actual p[lans, you might try reading them, they have been on his website for most of the campaign now….

If the numbers were reveresed for Hillary and Obama your headlind would no doubt be Obama leads McCain in latest Poll.
At the worst Clinton and McCain are tied. While Obama is either winning or losing to McCain. Further more when a black candidate runs against a white candidate, the black candidate needs a serveral point lead in the polls to defeat the white candidate.

After listening to Obama today with the cell phone issue, A man wanting to be president , more or less linking his cell phone to his penis, Oh yes ,thats who I want in the oval office! NOT!!!!!!!! Hillary or McCain

When all the primaries are done, Obama will be able to concentrate on pointing out the things people really need to know about McCain.

Nina: let go of the Reverend Wright and Retzco go - your life will be much better for it.

Notice that Obama never answered the question, he attackes McCain but never said what he would do. Guess he will call Hillary tonight and ask her for the answer. Smoke and mirrors people…… To Nancy … Hillary has lied, McCain has lied and Obama has lied just as much. So give up on the lie stuff people, and if you really believe that Obama has not lied, you are one sad kool aid drinker.

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.

nina ok then clinton has to answer to the paul/cliton case in LA
and the clinton labary

I guess Obama forgot we have a base in Taif Saudi Arabia. If you're worried about losing your house in this economy just wait until a Democrat gets into office. It will be a toss up between paying the increased taxes or paying for your house.

Careful what you wish for. You just might get it.

Yes we can! Go Obama!
