What? McCain is a fake like Hillary? Say it isn't so.

The government and media wants to keep our minds occupied with fear and fruit mousse. We have people dying in Iraq and we are in a DEPRESSION, and we get silly things like this on continuous feeds. When the heck will people wake up? We need to get off our rear ends and start a revolution and take back this country–if it is not already too late.

Our choices for president are poor but I say anyone but a warmonger with PTSD. If we think Bush was bad…

I bought a handful of groceries today for $86. I have to spend $65 to fill up my tank because I can not afford to sell my 1999 Dodge and buy a smaller car.

We are retired and can't afford insurance (we are healthy because we have been vegetarians for 28 years) and so far have not needed medical care. If we get sick we will lose everything we have.

This once fine county of ours is a disgrace. I am not even proud to be an American any longer.

I don't like any of the candidates but Bill Clinton knows how to talk to other countries. For that reason alone Hillary may be our only hope.

I don't know who in their right minds would want to take over this mess. I pity both Obama and Clinton if they win. I pity us if McCain gets in.

This is something McClinton would do….. Say NO to McSame and McClinton please !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Obama/Edwards08 Si Se Puede

A vote for McCain is a recipe for disaster! LOL…I'm trademarking that…

"And the very first thing McCain wants to do is make the Tax Breaks for the Rich Permanant!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! "

I'm not rich, and I remember benefiting from those tax cuts. And I will be hurt financially (and so will you) if the tax cuts lapse and we end up with what is effectively a tax increase. Not to mention the adverse effect this would have on a struggling economy.

Stop believing all the Democratic Party propoganda you read and hear on TV. The top 1% of American taxpayers pay about two-thirds of the income taxes, so it's pretty hard to have any meaningful income tax cut and not have them get the lion's share in absolute dollar terms, which is what our Democratic Party friends always recite (and truthfully so, although very misleading.) They never bother to tell anyone how big everyone's Bush tax cut was in terms of percentage of their income. If they did they would have to tell you that middle income Americans received a larger percentage of their income back than the wealthy. The result of that tax cut was a 3% increase in the share of income taxes that the top 1% pay; from 64% to 67%. But, of course, they don't want to tell you that.

The good of the party always comes before the truth.

I was very entertained while reading many of the comments which were posted earlier. I have gained an impression that most of the people posting replies to this story lack an education and therefore have the time to type thier animated and far fetched opinions. The mistake discussed in the story is petty and should be tossed to the side especially since proper steps had already been taken to solve the potential problem. Anyone who concerns him or herself with this issue and would allow it to determine a negative perception of Mr. McCain and his wife are truly bias and ignorant individuals. I understand that there are those of you who favor one candidate over another but the deciding factors of the candidate for which an individual should base his or her stand should be focused on the real issues that affect his or her interests in the most direct way. CNN, like many other news sources, has a built in bias in the storys the agency chooses to write about.

And Obama is out of touch? She's in la-la land posting recipes when Obama is speaking the truth. People are freakin' bitter! I'm bitter! Bush has screwed things up and has been dry-thumbing the average worker for the last eight years! Someone needs to speak out!

Obama 08

Cindy stole prescription drugs from her charity and got away with it because she was McCain's wife, so I guess she'll get away with this too! The heiress and the senator don't live in our world folks!

First, Ms. McCain cannot produce her own recipes so an intern has to copy them. Next, Ms. Clinton as first lady condems baking cookies. If this is not elitism, I do not know what is.

Obama '08

Is this even news?

How about a story about how McCain's praying for Hillary to be his opponent, because he could steamroller her a lot easier than he could Obama? That's been a frequent headline on other sites.

It's official. Coverage of this campaign has finally become irrelevant.

Congrats!

Look at these recipes,

Talk about elitist how many steel workers do you think eat Ahi Tuna….

This guy is a joke even more so than HRC….

Anne and all you Hillary Supporters….Go to Huffington Post . com and see the article entitled "Is Hillary really ahead by 20 points?..There you will find at what place for honesty and correct polling the ARG group really is…In other words..Keep DREAMING!!!

I am forced to write a comment because of deception by the Media
against Sen.Obama,I also have something to say about Hillary Clinton.First,I don't understand why the Media only played small parts of Rev.Wright's sermon about chicken's coming home to roost.If you all were interested in printing the truth,you would realize that if you played that tape for only five minutes you would see that the Reverend
was quoting a white man.No, you won't do that because you all won't be able to criticize Sen. Obama.I realize that Sen.Clinton has actually
developed a hatred for Sen.Obama,no matter how often she will deny
it . Danny, Richmond,Va.

Sounds interesting. It's nice to see something about a candidate and their life. I'll be interested in seeing what Bill Clinton would say and would Michelle Obama's maid would say on their favorite recipes. Then again, I don't know if Michelle's maid is allowed to speak; most elitists control what their servants say.

Looking forward to a Clinton - McCain election.

Rachael Ray had altered McCain's recipes to remove all the BITTERNESS…………

Ilona Proud Canadian for Obama

We get your message loud and clear!

Now… "PLEASEGO TAKE A LOOK IN THE MIRROR" You just might be surprised at what you see looking back at you. Good Luck

Ths is an Interesting attempt at stereotyping!!! Well the fact of the matter is that Obama has not addressed the question of why he continues to support a RACIST Minister and makes elitist derogatory comments on folks to whom he does not relate. This shows lack of good judgement. even when he placed this Racist Minister on his Campaign team and he knew very well Wright's position with respect to whites, Italians Jews, catholics and any other race or religion. And because of this, his support of this man, speaks to the issue of a lacking in credibility.

People who vote should not select FOR or AGAINST a candidate because of their religion, sexual preference, race, national origin, gender, economic condition, AGE or any other such differentiator. They should place their votes based on objective analysis and not because it seems to be the "in" thing (like a lot of white pseudo- educated elistist)

Make him explain this over and over and over. Every day, every night, just like if Hillary had done this. Explain that it means he's a liar who hates freedom and loves al-Qaeda, just as if he were Hillary.

Heck, it's only "fair."

trying to find a story about McCain CNN?

And the award for the best recipe for helping John McCain's campaign goes to….HILLARY CLINTON!!! YEA!

Please let this be the best that the Democrats can do this year. I get all my recipes out of books or off the internet. Who doesn't?

If McCain's worst sin is recipes, then he should have no problem in November against Obama's pastor, friend Tony Rezko, and out of touch comments about poor people "clinging to guns and religion." That's not to mention all of Clinton's craziness.

McCain sounds to have accountability issues just like W.

This is amusing for so many reasons, but I am having a great time imagining what kind of doofus came up with these PARTICULAR recipes to showcase as Cindy McCain's heirlooms. They look more like knee-jerk, bleeding heart, elitist liberal recipes to me, and I oughta know! This has brought some needed comic relief.

Just let me know the last time she cooked a meal, the woman is worth Millions please get real!!!!!!!!!!

Who cares about the recipes. I care about the food that goes on the table and how to get the money to put it there.

Makes you wonder, McCain and Clinton both seem to have the same theme against Obama. Word twists are their only ploy. Take a sentence out of context and make into something it was not. At least Obama did not claim to land in Bosnia under gunfire or think we need to be in Iraq for 100 years like Hilary and John said.

We are going broke and McCain and Clinton have helped send steel, auto, rubber, electronics and other good paying jobs overseas and replace them with Walmart jobs.

I do not see this ending until Washington is cleansed.

I was not for Obama but since the McCains and the Clintons are against him then count me for him. Obama 08, a new convert.

instead of talking about foolish items like this why don't we discuss the abcnews.com story about John Mccain not supporing the expansion of the GI Bill becauase it would give current soldiers to much incentive to leave the millitary! Talk about elitist. So much for MCcain "supporting" the millitary members that he thinks may remain in Iraq for 100 years.

"Tom,des moines"

Hillary can't even beat Obama OR Edwards in your state Iowa.

How the heck do you actually think she has any chance against Obama, let alone McCain?

You had your chance to vote HRC, and your fellow Iowans drowned out your losing voice.

My wife and I call McCain's wife "The Georgia Peach", so I wish she would have included a peach recipe.

HEy I am an obama support and i come these things all day cause I am a loser

Sounds like elitist recipes to me

WHO CARES ABOUT HOW CINDY McCAIN'S FISH TASTES???

I want to know to how John McCain plans to end the war in Iraq! Oh yeah, he doesn't plan to end the war.

My bad.

VOTE OBAMA!

(And, I am amazed that Cindy McCain even knows how to cook. I thought Stepford wives were much less capable robots than that. Again, my bad. Of course, since they are copying recipes, maybe she CANNOT actually cook.)

If they raid Food Network for recipes, maybe McCain's economic policy on his Web page was plagiarized from the speeches of Gordon Gekko in "Wall Street:"

"Greed is good!"

i love Obama. I don't care what you all come up with to slander
his name. It don't matter to most Americans when they listen
to the Republicans and Hillary and Bill. The White House on the
Hill will not be for Bill and Hill.

Slander his name all you want in all the upcoming smear ads.
I will stand for a man that knows the word, "bitter" a word that
is insulting for the rich and the elitists of our rotting government.
The elitists are what made it so. McCain voted against the Gi
Bill so that the Soldiers will be forced to re-enlist because there
are no jobs for them otherwise. And Hillary is a Republican calling
herself a Democrat. No Please, Not Hillary or McTrickster!!!!

My American People,

Regardless of your polical stance, if yopu have educated yourself on the candidates you will see that MCCAIN is a death sentence for Americans and our furture.

I have yet to hear his plans (besides keeping our troops in Iraq for the next 100 years) on the serious issues that we are currently facing.

Yet, he has recipes on his website to share with us. Talk about "Out of Touch". If American are losing their homes and jobs, just how are they going to buy the ingredients??? and are they suppose to cook this meal.

THis man is NO GOOD for America!!!

Obama 08 "Yes We Can"

Wow! I thought plagarism was against the law. Why aren't there charges? If you were in school, you would be expelled for something like this. Oh well, this is America and its not about what you know but who you know. Right Hillary? Since the rich are entitled to the presidency, I guess it does not matter if they do something wrong. It only matters if you are black and tell the truth about what is really going on in America. We would rather be in our own little corner pretending there is nothing wrong than we would deal with the issues that are really facing our country like racism.

So she copies her recipes from someone else like the rest of us. What does this have to do with HER HUSBAND'S qualifications as President?

I'm glad to see many Democrats posting on this article and saying how ludicrous this whole story is. Who cares anyway?
Had this article been about actual issues that people care about I would be a little more apt to take it seriously. But recipes?
I actually was thinking I'd see many Democrats posting about how McCain can't be trusted because his website apparently has recipes that are not original.
So if they posted a recipe for mashed potatoes would someone have a gripe? Everyone likes to think they own things when in fact I'm sure every single recipe out there was created by many other people, many times over, and nobody is truly the owner.

Let's get back to the bickering in the Democratic party now. At least that is fun to watch.

Oh my God!!!! This man is a monster!!!! Impeach McCain!!!!!! Death to McCain!!!! Think of the children!!!!!

Ross Perot would have the White House sewn up by now despite clintoon, obama, and McCain. A liar, the inexperienced, and an old man. He should have run…

Mccain is hope less case old man. I see Mccain I see Bush what is the difference. No more repulican so called conservative who never reads the bible yet calls him self the true christian God must be laughing with the behaviour of this conservatives.

So McCain now has intern problems. I hope the intern kept the dress she spilled the recipe on so there's proof.

This article is taunting the obama camp… it's like this is the only problem i have with my campaign. Good luck with hillary and explaining your bitter comments.

Ok, so she steals her ideas from the Food Network / Rachel Ray and McCain steals his policies from Bush.

Between the two of them, can't someone come up with an original idea?

Obama '08

It's the phony baloney thing. These were supposed to be family recipes. I mean if the lords of the media are brown nosing McCain with donuts and coffee they should at least have the decency to ask him about his favorite recipes. If you are what you eat - he's phony inside and out.

McCain obviously needs to keep an eye on the interns. So does Obama. As for the Clintons, I think it best if the potential First Husband is kept as far away from the interns as possible, due to his "hands on" management style.

While HIllary was duck hunting in cold water, Bill was chick hunting, which got him into hot water….

Will John McCain ever answer the questions that the American people want to hear? He has never said how he will pay for a long war in Iraq, is he for embryonic stem cell research that the right wing is against, who will his healthcare cover, why does he want permanent tax brakes for the rich after he said he was against them ( flip flop). If the press are all in the pocket of the Fox Phonies with all of nonsense that they cover, then who do we the public turn to inorder to get the real answers? If McCain is elected as president we will all be cooked!

I really don't appreciate the coverage of recipe-gate. What issue does this address? I don't watch the news to be entertained - I want to be informed. A better topic than Cindy's recipe-stealing is the fact that John McCain is claiming he'll cut gasoline taxes this summer and offer relief to homeowners going into foreclosure in 2008 when the election isn't until NOVEMBER. Did Bush simply appoint him as the next president - and why is the media letting him get away with such obviously hypocrisy of selling the country a plan that cannot be implemented (as he accuses the democrats of doing)? Incredible what CNN thinks is relevant!!! Incredible that he thinks he's president already.

Very elitist recipes.

This just in:

Home foreclosures up 57%;

Gas prices reach record highs;

Food inflation soaring;

Oh yeah, and the war in Iraq goes on and on and on.

We now return you to your regular daily dose of mainstream media fluff and nonsense that they like to call "news."

It amazes me that you have to attend college to practice in this field.

Why do campaigns try BS like this when they know they will get caught, look stupid, and spend a lot of time explaining and spinning it away?

More importantly, why would Sen. John McCain, POW and red-blooded American, want us to think he is eating "ahi tuna with napa cabbage slaw"? or "farfalle pasta with turkey sausage, peas and mushrooms"?

I think it would be fun to put a plate of this crap in front of McCain and make him eat it with the cameras rolling as punishment for trying to put one over on us. Next time, maybe McCain will give us recipes for his favorite marinated steak, or BBQ ribs - something he actually eats and that Joe Sixpack can identify with.

thank you once again demecrates for showing america how terribly pathetic and jaded you all are thanks for wasting our country on a racist black man that lies his butt off and a socialist women that lies even more none of their policies are realistic i cant believe you people actually think they cna do what they say or that it would work if it did look at our congress thats what need revamped imagin that we get a demecratic congress and our country goes to poop

OH MY GOD I CAN'T BELIEVE IT! Some junior staffer for the McCain campaign made a mistake??? CNN's Rebecca Sinderbrand, you are doing a wonderful job with this cutting-edge campaign reporting.

Actually, Rebecca, it's not your fault; it's your editor's. I am continually disgusted by what CNN finds newsworthy and what it doesn't. And you're probably just a junior staffer the way this kid that probably lost his or her job over this was. Kudos, CNN, for raising the questions everybody wants to know in this political season.

Republican recipes usually come from a cookbook called "Let Them Eat Cake" — and like everything else the Republicans cook up, the results always taste BITTER.

Is this news. I care about problems, gas prices,home prices,food prices,payckeks.

Vote Obama so he can try and address these problems

Hardly a Bush 3rd term, get your facts straight, yeah yeah, so we entered iraq in hardly the best way, war is still war, Just because this is the 21st century, doesn't mean people aren't going to die, We already screwed up Iraq, might as well try to fix it. And to those who will say, and talk about the Troops, no one forced them to join the Army, most people view the armed forces as a free ride to college, if you join the armed forces, expect to fight.

McCain 08

Sorry, but I just can't picture Mrs. McCain slaving over a hot stove. The candidates strive to convince the rest of us that they are "just folks," and here's another silly example. Sen McCain, what are your thoughts on global warming? Now that's something we can all sink our teeth into!

Pennsylvania, Read the Blogs and please don't give us Hillary.
Please. No more liars. Please, I am begging you.

Does anyone even believe that Paris McCain has ever cooked a thing in her pampered, self-serving life. No, that's what poor people are for. The only thing this woman has ever done in the kitchen is count her inheritance & wash down stolen pills with her family's booze. Her Marie Antoinette comments on Mrs. Obama's pride & patriotism, followed by this farce is proof that both McCains need to go back to the palace & leave this country's future to us commoners. If you think that these two actually care about anyone but themselves & the super elite cesspool they swim in, then you are one of them.

Sounds a bit sexist to me. Only the women are expected to post their recipes??? I guess I didn't realize what John McCain thought was the proper role for a lady. I won't vote for a womanizer.

The pro-Obama folks are NUTS. What will it take?? Michelle O.saying "for the first time in my adult life I am proud of my country", Obama saying he doesn't wear a flag pin because "to alot of other people in the world the American flag is a symbol of oppression", Obama saying the The Star Spangled Banner is a song "that conveys a war-like message". Or his long standing support of Rev. Wright. His stumbles time and again when asked questions. PICK ONE!!!! Just one makes me hate him.
I am at a loss as to how ANY OF YOU can ignore Obama's smug, arrogant and insulting manner to the U.S. And his inexperience he himself mentioned when checking into the Senate 4 years ago.
He always waits till Hillary says something then he agrees and trys to make it his idea. All the time.
It is Anti-American to put up with this hoax of a canidate and I am quite sure you all will let him snow you and squeal and support him because you think he's "cool". WAKE UP
I know it is fun for you to put down the Clintons, always has been. And you lapped up the Monica bull. BUT, ask yourselves 1 question for me please.
SPECIFICALLY, what has Hillary or Bill ever done to warrant (specifically) your rath? They have championed people all their lives and success or failure hung in. And Hillary has never said an angry word back to you that I ever heard for all the name calling. Yes, there were mistakes. But all of you are about to make the biggest one yet.

Mr. McCain,Bush, Cheney Mr. Mitt Rob-ney, Hillary, Rumsfeld, Rove, Rush Limbaugh, Ann Colter, Hannity, must all belong to the same
"Prayer Group" especially for the "elite" of the world.

Sounds a bit sexist to me. Only the women are expected to post their recipes??? I guess I didn't realize what John McCain thought was the proper role for a lady. I won't vote for a womanizer.

Good gosh! How utterly ridiculous can this whole campaign season get! Who cares what their favorite foods or recipes are?!

Who cares!!!! CNN, can you focus on something real? I can't wait to hear all the pundents talking about this tommorow (ie– talk about something important!!)

BEATLE JUICE BEATLE JUICE BEATLE JUICE

Is she gone now

Hillary has to go now so Obama can it on with the getting on
we have to take down John McCain or we will have another 8 years of the bush policies.

OBAMA 08

Fendley April 15th, 2008 3:00 pm ET

Does anyone have a copyright on recipes?

Food Network has a copyright on the recipes on its web site. And someone in the McCain campaign violated the Fair Use provisions of teh copyright laws by posting those recipes on their web site without crediting the source. And by claiming that Cindy McCain invented tose recipes, they committed a fraud on teh American People.

Is this representative of what we can expect from a McCain Misadministration?

Hillary the drunkard has those wonderful cocktail recipes on her web site. Take one ounce whiskey. Drink. Take another ounce whiskey. Drink. Pretend to be a man. Drink. Pretend to be human. Drink.

More improtant than where these recipies originated is why a serious candidate for president thinks any of us would care about his wife's silly recipies. This is an election, not a meeting of the Ladie's Guild. Oh, silly me; I forgot. the modus operendi of the GOP is to distract us from what's important with the trivial and the inane.

"Bitter' sounds good to me, but Obama is not an elitist!!! like
most of the Clowns in Washington.

In a campaign season with plenty of dirty tricks - this is something that is pretty harmless to laugh at.

I don't get it, two candidates who are each worth more than 100 million dollars call the third candidate who just made his first million "out of touch". Obama has been a regular folk all his life, the other candidates have been swimming in money for years, how are they "in touch" and he is not? Shame on the media for going with it.

Why would you automatically put Hilary in with Michelle and Mrs. McCain for sharing/posting recipes? Perhaps she is too busy campaigning like McCain and Obama? Please stop prototyping people with gender specific roles. If CNN, a leader in news media is doing this, we truly have no hope. I am not necessarily pro-Hilary; however, I think that US is really not ready for a female president. For this, we have to learn from our Eastern brothers and Sisters.

McCain voted against the GI Bill recently. Our soldiers to come
home to no chance of education. I guess this will force them to
re-enlist. And he might as well stop talking about ending "earmarks" would exclude fixing our bridges and infrastructures so that our citizens could be protect from driving into the sunset into Lake Superior..

"The McCain campaign quickly moved to quell the controversy over cabbage slaw. "

That is probably one of the funniest serious news quotes of all time. : D

I love how CNN closed comments after only 35 comments on the Rezco party below. Talk about political pandering CNN, why don't you just annoint the guy "messiah" and get it over with.

Elitists !!!!

CNN = Idiocracy

Diogenes would be proud of EVERY politician in Washington, but his search would only have found the lowest slime of humanity…sad -sad America.

Hillary would beat McCain hand down in the general election. Go Hillary 08!

What's more interesting…is that regardless of where the intern took them from, he had obviously been given the direction to "get some recipes" and slap Cindy's name on them.

Granted this is a silly issue, but it does speak to the way accuracy and credibility is viewed with teh McCain campaign.

"change you can zerox"

Hiliary said that she doesn't see any bitter people in Pennsylvania. Everyone is happy as can be and everything is fine in this country. Jobs have gone away, foreclosures are through the roof and things are GREAT!!! Talk about being out of touch with the people. She reminds of that movie when that little boy says "I see dead people" and people think that he is crazy. Back away from the bar Hiliary. You have had one toooo many shots. I have not seen a photo op yet with you taking a picture in front of a nursery you built with your 109M so that the happy harworking people don't have to worry about daycare expenses. You might have been born there but how many times have you actually gone back to help the community. You say I can relate to you people not by your work and poverty and I left and I have never looked back.

Dear CNN;

Whether it be a mistake or not, please fix the mistake that you have made by making a link that should be going to Obama's site go to Hillary's. This major error can be found by clicking to the politics tabs and then on the right side of the page where categories is listed and then Presidential candidates.

This one-sided media approach, no longer works and people are sick of filtered information and having to make decisions based on the "lying by omission" standards.

Thanks.

Who cares about What MCain's wife likes to eat. ?What I care about is Healthcare, Jobs, House crisis, Gas price, Education, and the quick return of our military. She can eat whatever she wants , I don't give a D.

Shameful Cindy McCain….

I mean do YOU really need to copy and lie about something so petty as recipes too? Can't you come up with a simple recipe of on your own that is original?. Can't your PRIVATE CHEF come up with anything original for YOU to use and call your own? Cause I doubt you even know where the kitchen is in your mansion of mansions.

Hummmmm and your husband has the nerve to call Sen. Obama an Elitist. Wow…. now that's funny now isn't it.

So if the intern plagaraized the recipe…were they just making stuff up about Cindy's favorite dishes? Or did Cindy direct the intern to the recipe and is complicit in the plagarizing?

Sounds like recipes for elitists

No common blue collar eat that kinda stuff.

Gravel/Clarke 08

Why are you picking on Cindy McCain?

At least she's not a hag and an anti American.

Obviously Mrs. McCain needs to keep an eye on the campaign interns. It seems very odd to me that, after all the controversy other candidates have gone through due to misrepresentations, an intern could be so naive as to post something that is obviously someone else's work. I can't speak for Mrs. Obama, but I would guess she's a little busy right now. I don't care what the Obama's favorite dishes are. I want to know how they'll handle our national problems. As for the potential First Husband, if I were Hillary, I would be sure to put someone other than him on the job of monitoring intern activities. He seems to have a real "hands on" management style that may create a whole new nest of problems other than simple plageurism.

Remember Hillary's comment: "I'm not some housewife who stays home and bakes cookies?" (hhmm… I wonder why women haven't jumped all over that comment?) Anyway… I'll bet now she wishes she had baked cookies so she could post the recipies on her website.

This is a warning to all REPUBLICANS! Stop acting like you are DEMOCRATS on the blogs by insulting both our candidates and dividing the our party more. You all are disgusting and we caught TWO of you angry conservatives. You claim you worship God? You all are sick.

Bravos to Hillary Clinton for reviving the Rev. Wright controversy. Mr. Barack Obama has yet to explain why he let his two young children listen to Wright's hate sermons for years….and he has yet to apologize for his "bitter"comments. Some newspapers who don't know better have said that Obama has in fact, apologized, but the fact really is, that Obama has not apologized. His arrogant side is beginning to show, the more he speaks. We had a President for almost 8 years who could not choose his words carefully, and look at the consequences. We do not need another president who does not guard his comments and thoughts carefully, before opening his mouth.

There's a Mousse, a lose, aboot this hoose…. Somwhere…

This is one of the wakckiest presidential races I ever witness. With all that is happenning in our economy; a ridiculous meaningless war, housing erupting, gas prices going up, bankruptcies everywhere you turn, food prices soaring, dishonest politicians. This tip bit of information itself says alot about the republican candidate himself and his spouse. While american people are struggling just to have a descent meal, the McCain's are making recipes for the cook in the white house to make for them. They could care less about the less unfortunate american's out there who are homeless, hungry, single parents w/children struggling to make ends meet. This an insult to the american public.

Here is a news flash for you " How will McCain Run a Country in a Reccesssion when He Himself has Banckrupt his own Campaign and the State of AZ has a several Billion Dollar short fall?"

Without any question, Cindy McCain is nice-looking, and the recipes might make her more likeable.

Mike do your nascar buddies think your racist jokes are funny?

Beka April 15th, 2008 3:01 pm ET

I just want Hillary to go away so we can get to the business of marginilizing the traitors who vote for these republican fools.

Be careful who you call a traitor. What have you done for this country? I put my life on the line for it for 22 years. I bleed red, white and blue. I also vote republican. Am I a traitor?

Are you even brave enough to say it to my face!

So there is nothing else about his campaigne we can talk about…Gosh the media is turning this whole thing into one big circus…uggg!

Will they change McCain's slogan to Let Them Eat Cake?

"My  friends, we live in the greatest nation in the history of the world.
 I hope you'll join with me as we try to change it."   

– Barack  Obama
 
 

Mike you're a troll working for Hillary, we all know that.

McCain doesn't want to face OBAMA… he doesn't stand a chance against him…

Now doesn't that recepie sound elitist?

Wow, smells fishy to me. This reminds me of the time Obama said he never heard any controversial remarks from Wright, then two days later admitted he had heard them. I bet in a week or two his memory will clear up and he can recall being at this party.
FOX NEWS PLEASE LOOK AT THE NEW STORY WITH TONY RESKO AND OBAMA ON THE CHICAGO SUN TIMES OH MY GOD OBAMA IS A LIAR!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm gonna go out on a limb and predict that Bill's favorite dish will be focused on tuna.

Does anyone believe Cindy Mccain, Chairperson of the board of directors for corporate america, worth well over 100 million, cooks her own dishes?

I think not.

Who cares about what expensive foods Cindy McCain likes, what about small towns like in Pennsylania has to make a choice between gas or top ramen. McCain and Hillary calling Obama elite, Cindy is worth 100 million and Clintondemons worth 109, who is elite. This is stupid to talk about food when many are starving daily.

WHO IS ELITE? HILLARY AND MCCAIN. MCCAIN ONLY TALKS SOFT SO HIS ANGER WONT POP UP AND CINDY WE DONT NEED YOU TO RUN AROUND THE WHOLE WORLD TALKING ABOUT ADDICTIONS, WE KNOW ABOUT ADDICTIONS, SPEND YOUR TIME HELPING THE POOR.

Kathleen and llona are at it again I see. Kathleen doesn't have a clue and needs to up her prescription. llona is a CANADIAN, give me a break, who cares what you think. To answer your question though I think it's laughable that YOU of all people are against NAFTA and CAFTA since it's the only thing keeping your countries head above water. Remember everyone the tax breaks are not "rich" tax breaks they are "corporate" tax breaks. Given the option of doing business here at 46% or going to Mexico or Taiwan and paying 13% and 15% respectively where would you move your company? Education should be a prerequisite for voting and or opening your mouth in general.

Thank you but I would not want Michelle Obama's recipes. Everything that comes out of her mouth is bitter. That must mean what goes into her mouth is bitter too.

The press is determined to make this election about anything but what really matters to Americans and reduce the credibility of the candidates by lowering the level of discourse to the lowest common denominator. We get the leaders we deserve. Unfortunately, we're allowing the press to tell us what we deserve. We're no brighter than they are when we let them tell us time after time what we should find important. Do I sound bitter? Or does the fact that I call it like it is make me sound elitist? These are the big questions. Just ask the press. They'll tell you. But whatever you do, don't think for yourself.

WOW…while the other spouses are out there fighting for America, Cindy is cooking?!?!?!

and Obama is the one that is supposed to be out of touch?!?! GET REAL!!

GO BACK TO THE KITCHEM CINDY, AND TAKE JOHN WITH YOU WHILE YOU'RE AT IT!!!

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

Americans one and all. I don't know what to say to you. I have been reading these comments for months now, and frankly I empathize with you. Just reading the above comments I am just ready to pull my hair out and it is not even our election (of course the outcome will have an impact worldwide)

I have even had a few chuckles, reading some of the comments. I hope that you have been able to do the same, you need to take a bit of a break and just try to laugh. Don't get me wrong I know that this is not a laughing matter, but you folks need to relieve some of the stress that is so evident in these blogs. Good Luck.

it's called PLAGIARISM! Remember all you Hillary and McCain lover's were trying to pin that on Barack???

HUmmmm.. I smell a double standard cooking here!!

Hmm… Whose Elite now? Ahi Tuna? Yah, the average American really cares about recipes for Ahi Tuna…

Farfalle pasta???…I can't even pronounce that… talk about elitists and out of touch….can I get that stuff in the frozen food aisle? ha ha

I agree that the news is not very important, but the irony is sweet. Not only "Cindy's favorite recipies" were not Cindy's,but an intern work, but then the intern copy and paste the recipies from the Food Network. This is really authentic people, not like those elitists!

How are people still voting for Hillary? It's virtually impossible for her to win the nomination, it would make much more sense to me to unite the democratic party, and topple this snarling Republican rule that has so graciously yanked this great nation from the pedestal it once stood on. Voting for John McCain in place of Hillary at the polls in September, to me, is absolutely mind boggling. It would go to show that people aren't voting based upon the glaring issues that need to be addressed, but rather, are taking the election to a personal level, which would undoubtedly come back to haunt everyone.

What is happening to real news that people want to hear CNN?????? who ares about recipes at this time when the economy is sliding down to the ground, people are loosing their homes, US solders are dying in Iraq fighting a war that should have never been waged in the first place? why is CNN dwelling on irrellevant issue like the word "bitter" who cares, please stick to real issues. I am getting tired of repetetive news on CNN from am to pm. Who is an Elitist here?????????????????

Who cares about Cindy's recipes I am an excellent cook I create recipes. Senator McCann followed the ignorance of Hillary Clinton in bashing a good man like Barack Obama on the "bitter truth". God help us if he is elected to Commander in Chief. How can anyone give even a second thought to electing any Repbulican to Presidency when if anyone is paying attention everytime a Republican has been President the economy goes to dou, dou. Everything goes sky high, the stock market goes down, they're destroyers, it dosen't take a rocket scientist to see that!!!! I am guilty of having voted for Republicans not any more they have an agenda for everyone to live by except they don't follow the agenda but expect everyone else to do so take notice. VOTE NO ON McCann!! or Hillary YES BARACK OBAMA do not pay attention to the attacks Obama means no one any harm FORGIVE, FORGIVE.

PLEASE, WHO CARES ABOUT RECIPES.. GOODNESS.

That…is unbelievably low, McCain.

Cindy is already picturing herself as the first lady… one problem..she's no lady, just a husband stealer and druggie

This is not the first time she has been caught. I'm just so happy drugs were not involved. I wouldn't want McCain to step in and keep her out of jail. Yes I know its a low blow - but true. Those who are wealthy usually get away with anything!

I love how Obama supporters can turn anything into a reason to spew their typical hate filled rethoric. As usual they have nothing substantial like Obama to add to the conversation. I like how the hypocrit Obama constantly whines about how mean ole Hillary said this or that then turns around and bashes her and McCain. Of course his supporters are no different. All they can say is he is just like Bush which couldn't be farther from the truth. Unfortunately, Obama's Liberal supporters are too filled with hate to objectively look at McCains positions on anything and then make an informed decission. This same hate filled group is to blind to see that Obama isn't doing anything differently than Hillary is. At least Hillary stands by what see says even when its wrong. Unlike Obama who bashed small town people, then back pedals when he takes a hit in the polls. By the way, where has his wife been lately. They sure put the clamps on her after her "I am ashamed of my country until my husband has a chance of being president speech."

As for Lord Voldamort. Maybe you should look at the violent crime statics for your own country before you bring your ignorance on here and bash our country.

It's just all so revealing, isn't it? Your choices:

The Republican candidate will be a man who dumped his first wife, who stood strong while he was a prisoner in Vietnam, for a beer heiress, whose Daddy bought him a political career. After managing to dodge more bullets when he wasn't destroyed by the Keating Five scandal and surviving a primary season in which no one was happy with their choices, he got nominated to run for Presidency. His campaign features recipes attributed to his wife that were actually selected by an intern, presumably so we'll believe that they're just a model Republican couple with a caretaking wife whipping up dinner.

The Democratic candidate will be a man is happily married to his one and only wife and doing a great job, by all accounts, of being a terrific and attentive father to his two young daughters while simultaneously staging the most incredible underdog campaign in Party history. And Michelle's mom helps out with the babies so she can do a great job for her employer and raise a family. His campaign hasn't gotten around to sharing any recipes yet, but when they do, I'll bet they're delicious!

Explain to me how voting Republican promotes family values?

I can't beleive I was going to Actually have a response to this!

I heard the cabbage stew was " Bitter"

all of obama's recipes are too bitter

Lies, just lke Billary…

Aren't we fedup of the same ol horrile politics of the past.

McCain is a millionaire, he has 8 houses, his wife is filthy rich and they want to act like they care about ordinary people like us. Please go away!

I thought that people's mistakes arround thecandidates cannot be used against them? Have we forgotten Rev Wright already? Obama's people and his supporters need to make up there minds before the media actually starts looking in to his terrorist friends.

Not sure what to even say about that! haa! I just laughed, but that is what i do when I hear anything to do with McCain!

Just another example ..that McCain ..is at best… a mascot for the Republicans!! …What he says and does …is just ..NOT RELIABLE!!!

I'm afraid John McCain was secretly brain-washed by the Viet Cong when he was a POW. What if he's a deep sleeper agent they're finally close to getting into the White House?? They could trigger the secret command and he would turn into a obediant agent to do their will!!

I recommend that Cidy add "crow" to the menu.

What do receipes posted on some McCain website have to do with the race for the presidency?? And it's his wife that 'stole' these receipts from the Food Channel. I believe she owes the American people a sincere apology. The McCains are flakes.

This is getting to be funny. Just how rabid are the Obama lovers? The Democrats are so busy bleeding each other that they have forgotten that we were looking for real change in America. Just what change are they bringing? Is the change that you have to be a complete fool to vote for a Democrat? Why couldn't they put up a serious candidate….wait Joe L. is now an independent. "Loony" is looking like a synonym for "change". Let's bring back that old guy from the South that was one of the speakers at Bush's party. He at least stood for something as a Democrat.

Cindy McCain must be excused. She is a former drug felon, who stole drugs from her job and was convicted. She is not at all opposed to stealing.

So, does she really cook, is that a lie too?

How stupid.

This is rediculous. Cindy McCain has a lot of money, that's known. However there is no point on attacking her appearance.

Do you think McCain's wife cook? yeah right.

Recipes are the least of what Cindy McCain has stolen. At least this time it wasn't drugs from her own charity.

For you people not voting for Obama, maybe Hillary could be MCains running mate, they're best friends and think pretty much the same way on many issues. It would be a "Dream Ticket" for sure.

who cares?

If this had been Michelle Obama, we would have had two days of "Breaking News Headlines". We picked a part one sentence she said in a speech. Seems to be a double standard.

My friends, I really like the touch of throwing the Intern Under the Bus!!!

Obviously CNN ran out of material…again. Or maybe McCain really only has this much to offer. But what else can we really expect from the Republicans except addressing an issue which no one cares about, try to rally attention around it, and hope everybody forgets about what is really important

It's disgusting…….a little woman back in the kitchen again…..talking about recipes and dusting. Give me a break!

The recipe section of a candidate's web site is just so cutesy family values I want to hurl.

How about "Lame Duck With Neocon Sauce?"

Is this an attempt to make Cindy likable ? Through recipes on a campaign site. They seriously can't think we are that stupid.

why does cnn consider this to be news…type in a recipe and see how many similar recipees come up from numerous websites. Even if they cut and pasted them right off the website I don't care. I don't support McCain, but this does not matter. Maybe a better story is why is this campaign wasting time putting out recipes.

Speaking of Elitist!! She has probably never cooked a meal for herself so she has to steal recipes.

I just want Hillary to go away so we can get to the business of marginilizing the traitors who vote for these republican fools.

Does anyone have a copyright on recipes? Leave McCain alone. He will be our next President, because Obamanites, with their ignorance will, God forbid, beat Mrs Clinton. And no way will God allow Obamanation to win the Presidency.

To Independent-Woman-Voter-For-Obama, speaking of recipes, go fry up some corn bread, collard greens, have some sweet tea, and let Obama know how "bitter" you are.

Go Hillary!

Cindy, Deary, Sweety—

Honeybun, it's 2008. Got anything else to contribute? Bless your heart…

I wonder if any of the recipes end up being "bitter" since that word is of FAR greater importance to McCain and NeoCons than the words "Bomb Bomb Iran"?

=====if it was mrs.obama …it would be breaking news on cnn=====

mCnuts and mClintons Leave Our Country Alone……

no more of the same….

Obama 2008

Throw the intern under the "Straight Talk Express."

Do you mean a $100 Million dollar sugar momma actually cooks? How stupid do these people think we are? Of course, his supporters gave us Bush so that answers my own question.

You GOPers should be ashamed of yourself for putting America in this mess with these morons…I think you need to go hide under your rock so you cannot cause our country anymore harm.

Well, Cindy McCain was caught stealing painkillers from her old medical non-profit - it just seems so in-character for her to be stealing recipes.

I think the intern is being sacrificed to save Cindy.

FOOD FIGHT !!!!!!!!!!

yeah… that how silly this whole thing has become. If it's not Clinton distorting and marketing Obama's every single word, while she hides behind her "I misspoke" excuses, it's someone barfing up a recipie postedon McCain's Website.

One thing that Obama was absolutely 100% correct about is when he said, "It's silly season."

Bittergate, now recipegate. We need this election to over soon. I mean really soon before we all lose our minds.

That's the spirit. Daze and confuse all the hungry voters out there, so they will focus on his family recipes instead of the true Bush/Cheney policies that he stands for.

Thanks People. The price of Gas is at its all time high.
Stupid American are concerned about fruits.

The media has its priorities out of place and shame people are following them.
This is wrong were is the president f the people!!! ???
Oh sorry he is an oil Man.

Ride on America. Ride On.
Oh let's blame it on Opec… Rush..not the worthless value of the dollar.

How is this news?

Angus in 08

Some of you need to grow up! Your grade school comments are unnecessary.

If people actually have an opinion about this one way or another they need to get a life.

Cindy McCain should stick to her beer business then if
John wins the White House they could sell naming rights
to "The Bud White House".

Did John Mccain intervene to keep the DEA investigation in the 90s from producing an indictment of Cindy MaCain?

I couldn't care less about her recipe. I am lining up now to a food pantry near me. Lucky if I can get Ahi tuna!!

Plagiarism isn't funny.

To Independent Woman -Voter -For -Obama, why don't you go fry up some cornbread, and collard greens and talk to Obama about how "bitter" you are.

Go Hillary!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

McCain Presidency–Recipe for disaster. America will be chewing on the same old message for the next 100 years!

What next how to properly dust and vacumn. This party has become so out of touch with the rest of America it's pathetic. Unless your over the age of 55 how can you even relate to what they're talking about.

I'm sure all Americans needing to eat will immediately rush out and buy Ahi tuna, some fruit for a "mousse" and of course that all time favorite, Farfalle pasta, Quite a few would be delighted with a can of beans and a loaf of bread. You ain't seen nothing yet…..and yes, we're bitter.

Does anybody know who the American Research Group (ARG) is? Their numbers for Clinton are at least twice those of any other pollsters. They are certainly counted by many polls shown on the web. I went to their website and there is nothing about them or their polling. This kind of thing makes my flesh crawl no matter who I'm backing. Somebody who knows them — help us all out.

If he ever invites NObama over, NObama will bring the wings, and Michelle will eat crowe.

Go Hillary!!!!!

Cindy? Recipe's another McTrick to get people to pay attention
to McSlick. F–kabee is back to raise funds for "elitist" Republicans,.
And Hillary joined a prayer group in Washington consisting of Mostly
Republicans!!!!! Oh my, I wlll obtain my own recipes, thank you.

Wasn't there something back in Clinton time regarding whether Hillary could even make a chocolate cupcake.

I think the recipe idea is cute. It makes Ms. McCain 'real'.

I still cast my vote for Obama, though.

Sandy in NE

Ahi Tuna with Napa Cabbage Slaw? Oh wonderful, now at least we can eat like the elitists!

Before the corruption of the media, America had customs that were akin to their standards of living. One of these was for the first lady, and competing patrons, posting/printing/publishing lists of their favorite recipes. Of course, homemade recipes took a fall a long time ago, during the feminist movement, along with homemakers, the family nucleus and incidentally, our standard of living for the average family.

And in the 21 century, with the corrupt media out in front, America is now encouraged to freely esponge their inward hate, regardless of logical content. Much akin to the new progressive standard of living.

Remember Lincoln Savings and Loan?

who was a part of it?

you American muggles are trully dumb, but you get to keep the guns…

…until Blackwater takes them away from you (see aftermath of hurricane Katrina)….

hahahahahahahahaha

Ahi Tuna? Real man of the people he is.

Sounds a bit elitist to me. My pinto beans and cornbread budget would not allow these dishes.

If McCain wins, we can kiss America Goodbye.!

It is that serious.

The uninformed and the rich will be the only people that vote for
him. Or the stupid!!!! A vote for McCain, will be an ABSOLUTE
repeat of Bush and worse.

Let's see He wants to cut entitlementsAnd the very first thing
McCain wants to do is make the Tax Breaks for the Rich Permanant!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WE PAID INTO S.S. all of our lives. That wou
