Mccain is not going to win, nor is Obama, Hillary is the one who can start to get us out of this Bush mess we're in. Obama says he would have fired Mark Penn, well why dosen't fire Reverend Wright. When(Wright) said G D America he was cursing no matter what way you look at it. Any respectfull person woundn't go around in public saying it. We were all taught this as kids.

The O   April 11th, 2008 4:25 pm ET

Lets just put this fool in a corner, and give him a ball and a paddle and just wait till his term is up. He has been the worst thing to happen to this country since Bennidict Arnoald. He has sold us out destroyed our military, and has taken away our freedoms.

GOOD RIDDENS

Personally i dont think what Obama's pastor said isnt far fetched i think is was everything he said was true but when the media makes everyone think its bad, all the naive people ate it up. Obama's pastor might not beat around the BUSH :) !!! His pastor is very upfront and a wise man in my point of view. He stated the truth, not everyone goes to a church that paints a perfect picture.

I challenge the American people – Democrats, Republicans, and Independents – to support the candidacy of Sen. John McCain and transcend partisan conformity. It is because I value divergent points of view that I challenge you to think outside your political box and your own special interests. Due to the excitement generated by the Obama candidacy, his theme of change and unity, and attempts to portray a McCain presidency as a third Bush term, I believe that Sen. McCain's historic candidacy has been overlooked. John McCain is that rare politician who, because of his willingness and ability to cross party lines, is the true agent of change. In his humble way, he has not asked the American people to merely hope for change or simply believe that he will do as he promises. His actions over a lifetime of selfless service to America speak for themselves. History has shown us that bringing about meaningful change is not a matter of rhetoric or manner but of character and courage.

As horrible and evil as Bush has been.....I have always wondered about something. If you look at the first month he was in office there were three or four times he appeared before the cameras to make a speech where he looked beaten up. He had a bruised face and there would be some strange explanation of falling down. But it happened several times and it has never happened again. I wonder if when he became president Cheney and his goons beat the crap out of him for a while to let him know who the boss truly was.

Patrick   April 11th, 2008 3:10 pm ET

Bush gave 23% of his money away to charity. Far more than Barack or Hilary who say he doesnt' care about the poor only the rich. Money speaks louder than words..

Alicia (Indianapolis)   April 11th, 2008 3:09 pm ET

Everyone keeps talking about Obama's pastor when Hillar'ys pastor is accused of child molestation??? If Obama is wrong for having a pastor who speaks out about the lifstyle of a black man in America(which he obviously is). How can a white person judge him for something they have no clue on how to relate?? If Obama can suffer for his pastor's supposed racial views. Then Hillary should suffer the same for supporting a potential child molestor...

Mari s.a. Texas OBAMA 08...........   April 11th, 2008 3:08 pm ET

*********** For everyone that is a "democrat" **************

I just think it is distrubing when the democrats say when if it comes down to Hilary or Mccain you would vote for Mccain? Wouldnt you rather have a Democrat as President? Even if you dont like her, you should sit down and compare Mccain and Hilary. Mccain is worse than BUSH!!!! Why would we want someone that will just end up destroying AMERICA? I think before people make the decision of NOT HILARY, think do you really want Mccain? I much rather see my president run by OBAMA, if it came down to hilary and mccain i would rather see a democrat be the president. We all have seen a republican run this country and everyone is complaining so dont make the MISTAKE and vote republican!!!!!!

H Davis   April 11th, 2008 2:54 pm ET

There are millions of dollars of unaccounted for money that the Clintons have received. I think they would again sellout the country for debts owed to crooks throughout the world. THE USA IS NOT FOR SALE!!!!

Tim in Canada   April 11th, 2008 2:46 pm ET

Bush can be funny sometimes, don't you think?

Julie   April 11th, 2008 2:30 pm ET

From his radical stance on abortion to his prominence in the corruption scandals that has been virtually ignored by the mainstream media, Barack Obama is not fit to be Senator - not to mention the next President of the United States.

Obama has declared his presidential intentions, but it is up to well-informed and energetic conservatives like you to spare our nation from the scourge of a far-left President Barack H. Obama.

p Coleman   April 11th, 2008 2:28 pm ET

Remember all the people that thought Bush was so great, well they are still voting and maybe they are the Republicans voting for Obama, good luck we see where that got us and they voted because they did not like Kerry, George was so charismatic.

Brian, Ohio   April 11th, 2008 2:25 pm ET

Stacy,

While you have good intentions, I can't stand Hillary Clinton. My stomach turns when I listen to her, its like fingers on a chalk board. I have nothing to say good about Hillary Clinton other than...

She's not as bad as John McCain.

So, while I loathe Hillary Clinton, if she some how swiped the nomination... I'd loathe seeing McCain as president more. Not that I dislike him, I think he's a great guy... but his policies will kill this country. As much as I can't stand Hillary, she at least has policies that I can live with... well 95% of them.

Amber   April 11th, 2008 2:22 pm ET

OK Stacy, I'm going to reply because I am tired of the bashing on both of our democratic candidates..
I support Obama )

Hillary
1. Her Universal healthcare plan is decent.
2. I actually think she'll make a better president than her husband.
3. I've seen her cry so that makes her human which is a good quality for a politician.
4. She has years of service in the area of politics.
5. She doesn't give up and she's strong. Anyone to face public humilation and still have the strength to run for Senator and be in the public eye again I respect.

Obama
1. He represents change.
2. America's reputation has dwindled since the war and I can see Obama reaching out to other countries in attempts to salvage our reputation. I'm also confident that he can cross party lines and help unify America.
3. His speech on Race was "real" he faced it head on and this is an issue that needs to be addressed and not swept under the carpet.
Racism is in all directions, black vs white, white vs black, white vs latinos, blacks vs jews etc.. We need to face these issues head on and I feel that he is the one that can unite us as a country and will not be afraid to address these issues publicly. As a candidate that has 1/2 african and 1/2 white blood in his veins I really trust his ability in this area.

No matter what, I want a Democrat in office I can't afford 4 more years of a Bush/ Mccain Regime....

No matter the outcome we need to rally behind our Democrat Nominee in the fall and take back the White House......

Don't be naive   April 11th, 2008 2:21 pm ET

does the big bad president feel left out?

Jasmyne   April 11th, 2008 2:18 pm ET

To Stacy:

HIllary is VERY determined

But Barack's Healthcare plan is better.
He can be trusted to work in the best interest of this country and not just in the best interest of himself.
He is the only candidate that will offer REAL solutions to this mess we are in in Iraq
He will do wonders for foreign diplomacy, lets face it, other countries hate us right now and they equate all Americans with George Bush and having him as our President will show that America is ready to move on and away from anything Bush related

Glenn   April 11th, 2008 2:13 pm ET

Questions:

1-Who cares about Bush's tax returns?
2-So shouldn't we just add "Be rich" to the prerequisites of becoming the President of the United States of America?
3-Why is there NO CNN coverage about Bob Barr's potential Presidential run on a Libertarian party ticket?
4-Why is there NO CNN coverage on the Clinton's former pastor?
5-Why is Hillary still in the Presidential race again?

The Ticker for the Bosnia Flap Has Closed   April 11th, 2008 2:05 pm ET

The "Bosnia Flap" actually has not been critically examined by the media, which is the opposite view of what Bill Clinton has claimed.

The center issue about the "Bosnia Flap" is not only the lie was told. It is the apparent of mis-understanding what the next leader should do in dealing with foriegn policies. Being brave and dodging bullent are not the qualities we seek in this election. What we want to see in the next president is his or her judgement and behavior in dealing with other countires. The skill of changing a country without using the force: dealing with other countries based on our principal, our moral, and our value as well as being consistent in terms of pick and choose who to fight and who to support.

Hillary does not have the qualities we seek in our next leader. I will not support her.

By the way, maybe CNN should have a better in-depth analysis on this Bosnia Flap. However, I don't think they care about this issue as much as they care about Obama's race. CNN has turned into a Fox-Channel wanna be...most of their anchors are Neo-conservatives. Glenn Beck, Lou Dobb, and Campbell Brown are few of the right wingers in CNN.

1. Hillary has been a known advocate for the welfare of America's children.

1. Obama has the character of the men and women who fought against injustice.
2. Obama has been truthful in all of his dealings so far.
3. Obama embraces everyday Americans, no matter rich or poor, white or minority.

Obama is an untrustworthy, non-america loving liar and his wifes stated the same. He could sell an eskimo ice cubes. Take your racist problems and views to some other country and take Sharpton and Jackson with you so you can keep reminding people of this so called major problem. My paster has never mentioned or even spoken about his personnal views and opinnions about this country of hate messages, I feel sorry for all the kids that attended Obamas church, no wonder racism will never go away. Morons
Hillary is just a liar and conn artist.
McCain will do more good than either of them but none of them will fix any of our current problems, it should be apparent by now. We have had the same issues discussed for the past few decades and to no avail have any of tour elected leader fixed anything. I say fire all the old rich worthless bums and get a new crown in there that actually care. These problems could be easily resolved but they all disagree because thay are all getting paid under tha table in one way or another. So learn to live with all the problems we face today. They will be much worse by the time our kids grow up. What a crying shame this country revolves around making a buck.

Actually you should care. Let's see how much money he made from his private oil investments while he was pushing a war in the middle east that drove oil costs higher. What the public doesn't realize is that the war isn't about peace in the middle east, it's not about oil, it's about Bush and his oil cronies making tons of money. That's it.

Only those evil Clintons would overpay taxes and give $10 million to charity including Nelson Mandella's fund.

But to be fair Obama does give $20k a year to his church that hates America. Wonder if he can stump that in Shanksville where United flight 93 went down in 9/11?

1. He is very Intellegent
2. He will end this war that is costing us billions of dollars with out Jepordizing our Soliders and our interest in Iqaq.
3. We need change from Bush and Clinton era.
4. He has Good judgement, Better heath care plan that does not force us to buy hearth insurance if we don't want too or we can not afford it.
5. He has a good plan for our damaged economy.
6. He young and energetic and good in bringing people together black, white, Latino, Asian due to his back ground of diversified family.
7. He the only one who is fresh to washingon that we can trust to fight for us.

Most blacks have always loved and supported the Clintons and for her campaign to have done this to us was a mere slap in the face if to say I don't give a dam about you blacks, all care about is me getting elected for president of the united states. Hillary started this whole thing when she feels behind when Barack rung off those 11states wins in a row and everyone out there know I am telling the truth.

Although I think Mark Penn's involvement was deplorable, I don't think Penn is as big a liability as Bill is. It would be interesting and important to find out more about the Colombian companies that Bill works with considering that many Colombian companies that are for free trade and work in development are tied to the paramilitary, as is Uribe, the president of Colombia.

With all this talk about how free trade will affect America, why don't we here nearly as much about how free trade will affect the companies with whom we are trading. Countries that don't have the subsidies to compete with a Country like ours. These trade agreements only benefit the rich and elite on BOTH SIDES.

When it comes down to McCain and Obama in a general election we'll see those overwhelming primary turn-outs for Democrats and underwhelming turnouts for Republicans all over again. McCain offers more of the same. He can't win with that.

Florida and Michigan will be seated when Hillary drops out. Obama, Clinton and Dean know that. Clinton is just playing you guys on her last gasp antagonism. BTW, if you are in one of those states, get your party cleaned up and vote by the rules next time or don't cry about it!!!

Michael   April 11th, 2008 1:04 pm ET

I'm a former Hillary supporter now supporting John McCain.

Can't trust the judgement of a man who attended a church with Rev. Wright as the senior pastor for twenty years.

Scott L   April 11th, 2008 1:04 pm ET

Yeeeehaaawww!

Sharon Minnesota   April 11th, 2008 1:03 pm ET

Oh, Ms. Stacy, there are still good republicans out there and ready to lead us out of the woods.

If not Hillary, then McCain.

On topic, what's the deal about Bush's tax returns? Who really cares about his earnings, etc. The only thing most of us care about is will he leave office without being dragged out?

Mark   April 11th, 2008 1:03 pm ET

OK Stacy. I used to think Hillary was OK until Obama came along. Her lying didn't help either.

Mark, MI   April 11th, 2008 1:01 pm ET

Stacy Clarks:

..... No thanks, we democrats deserve what we are getting. I have nothing nice to say about NOBAMA, he is a fraud and if he wins the nomination over Hillary, then.....

McCain 08!!!!!

Herman LA, CA   April 11th, 2008 1:00 pm ET

Who cares if he release his tax returns, I'm hoping he gets impeach.

NickSanDiego   April 11th, 2008 12:59 pm ET

SO................... I want to see ALL of his administrations a few years AFTER they leave. All of these Trillions of dollars that have been wasted and the quad growth in Oil WILL come back to them and we all know it.

Darth Vadik, CA   April 11th, 2008 12:58 pm ET

Rich people and oil companies don't pay taxes CNN, they get subsities.

Who Cares?   April 11th, 2008 12:58 pm ET

The only news I want to hear about this axe murderer is that he is leaving our White House, and crawling back to Texas. He has butchered our Constitution, and our reputation around the world.

Greg, NY   April 11th, 2008 12:58 pm ET

Stacy,

You have a great and decent point. The party infighting is really getting out of control. Both candidates on the Dem side are for the most part equal, why can't people see this? McCain is wrong for America at this point in time.

Good luck.

kevin   April 11th, 2008 12:57 pm ET

what is worth positive statements about either. For that matter, include McCain. All three want to lead America towards no where. Vote Third Party NOW!

Rohit   April 11th, 2008 12:56 pm ET

I like the first post:

Hillary: She is a fighter and will fight republican lies better than Obama...the dude doesn't know how to lie...not convincingly at least.

Marc in DeKalb, IL   April 11th, 2008 12:56 pm ET

Yay, we get to see how much he spent on pretzels and beer!

Tex   April 11th, 2008 12:55 pm ET

Who cares anymore!

Ken Austin, TX   April 11th, 2008 12:55 pm ET

Stacy, I would love to say something positive about Hillary Clinton so here it is: Hillary is the BESTEST liar I know!
Now there you have it!

Veterans for Obama   April 11th, 2008 12:54 pm ET

Stacy,

Hillary has nice hair, her policies are in the best interest of the country, she did a good job raising Hillary, she is determined and tenacious, she can spin a bold face lie with the best of them.

That's the best i can do.

P.S. I would vote for if by some miracle she gets the nomination.

Xavier of Saint Louis, MO   April 11th, 2008 12:54 pm ET

Who cares!!!! Let's just get this guy out of Washington!

Randy - Denver   April 11th, 2008 12:54 pm ET

Bet there is nothing in there about the money he has made form Iraq and oil.. my guess is that is in a numbered account somewhenre not availiable for public review.. Did anyone else see where CHENEY AND RICE were in the meetings where they decided torture was okay and gave the go-ahead to torture at Abu Gahrib and Gitmo?!! Why isnt this all over the news?? AP carried it but I guess it isn't against Mr. Obama so the Clinton News Network will not cover it, nor Mr. Obama's speech last night in Indiana where he talked about shareholders getting to comment on CEO salaries... sigh sometimes I wonder why I read this biased networks "news"

Chris from San Antonio   April 11th, 2008 12:53 pm ET

Lemme see:

Millions from Halliburton.
Millions from Saudi Arabia
Millions from Boeing and Lockheed
Millions from Exxon and Texaco...

Sandie   April 11th, 2008 12:52 pm ET

Stop trying to get into the limelight.

Richard   April 11th, 2008 12:52 pm ET

Is Obama demanding to see Bush tax returns also? And will the media go into shock mode if he showed a salary for being president and got to fly around free?....you know...pretend outrage.

Roger   April 11th, 2008 12:52 pm ET

Hillary was under so much scrutiny for her tax returns and our own president is just now releasing his.

Pam   April 11th, 2008 12:52 pm ET

hahahahahahh, oh..............I did not know this was a comedy network.

Who really cares........just get him out of the WH, or the country for that matter.

Bush and Clinton families move to Columbia to get jobs....that could be the next spoof.

Miles, NC   April 11th, 2008 12:51 pm ET

Bush is an idiot.

Tick tock already, go back to Crawford. Take those silly daughters with you.

Idiot.

Against Lies   April 11th, 2008 12:51 pm ET

Who cares now....

Alex H   April 11th, 2008 12:50 pm ET

Awwwww someone feels left out :(

Christi in Canada   April 11th, 2008 12:50 pm ET

You'll find nothing in there. He lied about WMD's and had the whole nation fooled.

kathleen   April 11th, 2008 12:49 pm ET

It don't matter now.

Stacy Clarks, TX   April 11th, 2008 12:49 pm ET
