Finally. Mr. Barack Obama is giving us a glimpse of the man he truly is. He's cocky, self-centered mean-spirited and could be dangerously sly. But we'll find that out too. Hopefully, before he gets into the White House. You folks out there. I'll have a bumper sticker that says "Don't blame me. I didn't vote for him!"

Obama has all quality of being a leader which US die not have for a long time. He is a charasmatic and above all very intellegent who knows what to be done with his silent and gentle dimenor. Since I saw this guy i could not find any one from all political people who we always meet and wach at TV. Clinton has not that qaulity. She looks like a trader who say anything to sell his cloth. She may be good in selling Beer and Candian wisky in the bar in her home town. Great Obama will be the perfect leader in 2009

I think it takes courage to have a shot in front of the world.

Obama, what's your shot other than taking pot shots? None, cause you are a shallow man who thnks he's better than the people who pay your salary. Thank God that blogger got in the San Francisco fundraiser. It shows your true elitist don't care about american people stance.

The only thing that is out of control is all the presumptions and unfounded accusations by all these bloggers.

Some of you act like you personally know the candidates which you don't. Relying on the media to give you a fair and unbiased view of them is dangerous.

Case in point; I think Al Sharpton is one of the most intelligent and brilliant minds in America today but most Americans only laugh at him and role their eyes. Why? Because of the way the media has portrayed him.

Do you think it is not deliberate the way the media has treated Obama with so much TLC at first and now jumps up and down on the Wright issue and Canada and now the bitter controversy like there's no tomorrow. And some of you follow the media like poor lost sheep.

You might be able to say the same for Hillary except that she has made her own history with her false words and flip-flop actions that can't be misinterpreted.

I have yet to hear anyone prove that Obama ever lied about anything yet some of you bloggers call him a liar. Hillbilly is the liar and a proven one.

I think HRC's campaign people have finally organized responses to this and other blog sites. For a while it was only individual hate mail back and forth....now it appears a lot more organized.

CNN (and others) will need to monitor this more than they already are.

I know by now, the supporters of Senator Obama will continue to support him regardless of his missteps including the latest one at the San Francisco fundraiser. However, I hope you folks reconsider your support. Senator Obama can not win the general elections. Senator Clinton is the only one who can beat Senator McCain. How can Senator bring change to Washington when all his top advisers and political strategist are all Washington insiders. Folks Senator Obama is just using change as a campaiogn slogan. Don't be fooled by it. Senator Obama is using you all.

Obama just does not get it, it's not the bitter part, it's the clinging to guns and religion etc part. It is as if he's looking down on small towns that he's having trouble connecting to and calling them gun toting, God loving signle minded bigots. Now he can attack Sen Clinton all he wants to try to take the media off him but he still needs to explain himself. People do not turn to God because they're bitter, they embrace the message and word of Christ and their religion, was he bitter when he decided to join his church?

I'm really hoping Obama starts taking the high road again. I hate to see him stoop to the Clinton level. But, you have to think that all her negativity and attacks are starting to take a toll. It would be hard not to defend oneself effectively with all that mudslinging she's doing.

Obama is sounding more like he is part of a one man club called: Double Standards Only Apply To Others and NOt Me. Only He can be viewed with a drink among the crowd? And since when is a drink offered considered a huge undermining scheme that represents NAFTA? Sorry, but the man is starting to sound more like a whiner than winner. He should know by now that Senator Clinton WILL fight for her beliefs. Why shouldn't she? Are only the "boys" allowed to play in this sandbox?

Hillary desperate to fit in and gain votes will do anything, throw back shots of canadian whiskey followed by beer, stories of her hunting, and on & on. She is getting SO STALE, I can barely listen to her. I have noticed she is looking quite tired out and even puffeyness under her eyes, and more pronounced lines on her face. I don't think she would be up to any phone calls at 3:00 AM. She is in a DESPERATE attempt to win at any and all costs.

Hillary has been raising my blood pressure with her lied for weeks. The fact that Obama has kept his cool this long is a testament to his character and close supporters. He needs to dig deep now to stop the hurt from coming out in these angry remarks. He is still so much better a person than Hillary, in my book.

Supporters of Sen. Obama are doing him a disservice by shielding him from continued missteps that will inevitably doom his presidential bid. Although gifted, Mr. Obam is immature, personally and politically, and his intellectual arrogance prevents him from acknowledging his weaknesses and thus learning from them.

Obama did not say anything that was soooo insulting. the only reason people even think he did is because Hillary said so....these same 'followers' of Hillary believe everything she says without doubt. Even when she LIES, she says she misspoke and people accept that...that is real sad. It's a shame that she can just laugh off a lie like she was some child caught with her hand in the cookie jar. She has lied, her husband has lied...that is how they get thing .....very unethical.

And wasnt she the one that insulted Mississippi? Talk about elitist........Obama came from a humble background...Hillary? Silver spoon.

Stop being so nasty America....look at the facts..... do you try to instill the truth in your children....lying is bad..remember? But yet, we let HIllary get away with it...and good ole Bill....

Did you see the forum last night? Obama as much as omitted that he joined a church because he realized it was politically expedient. I'm not religious either, but I wish he would stop pretending to be something he's not. The Republicans are going to use all of this against him if he gets the nomination. There are no surprises with Hillary. She stacks up so much better against McCain.

I find it funny how many voters say they would choose Senator Obama to sit down and drink a beer with over Senator Clinton when it's Mr. Obama criticizing Hillary for taking a shot.

Interesting. The whiskey may be bitter in Hillary's mouth, but at least it's not her view on the hard-working American people...like Barack's.

How stupid are some of you? Do you really think he was making fun of small towns? I'm from a small town and think he is dead on! Who isn't bitter about the economy, fuel prices, lack of jobs, the escalating death toll in Iraq, eroding social security....etc?
When I talk to people here in North Carolina, they are so stupid about this whole thing. It's blown up to be more than it really is.
If people are happy with current America, then by all means vote McCain, but if you are BITTER then embrace change for God sake!

Hillary should take a shot of Canadian whiskey and have a beer. I would even buy her Iranian whiskey if there was such a thing...ANYTHING to get her to loosen up and tell the truth!!

Hopefully it would work like truth serum.

By the way, I am bitter, my neighbors, my mother and other family are bitter over the factories that have shut down here in KY. These people lost their jobs, but they also lost 20 years of pensions and benefits in the workforce to trade deals such as NAFTA, CAFTA.

Crane, and Fruit of the Loom are just a few factories that roll off the tongue as having closed and laid off thousands. Palm Beach too!!

What I wouldn't give for some real talk about real issues along this Camp-Pain Trail! As an Obama supporter, I wish he'd simply ignore Hillary's idiotic photo-ops and start focusing on how McCain is benefiting from all the Dem-squabbling. As a Clinton-opposer, I wish she'd stop trying to make politicians look like "reg'lar folks" and start uttering some truth! I don't want her as a candidate, but she could be a useful member of the Democratic Party if she'd focus on unification instead of inanity!

We've got to be bitter and angry at politicians like HRC and Bill , first of all where is the $800.000 and why is Penn still doing on their campaign strategic meeting...

Obama is such a hypocrite. At least Hillary doesn't try to sell herself as a new and different politician–she's honest about her tactics. Obama says one thing and does another. Politics of hope, change, and the status quo it seems.
