Obama gave only 6% of his income to charity. Even Bush gave 23% of his income (almost 4 times as much as Obama did) to charitable causes.

If Obama is as concerned about the poor as he says he is, why doesn't he put more of his own money where his mouth is and give more to the poor.

Oh before you morons go off to talk about President Clinton's 109 million in 10 years..... remember, he is the FORMER President.

If Clinton has cashed in on his former status, then Obama is cashing in on his potential status.

Give me a break. This guy and his wife have nothing in common with the average black family in America. They will use us to get ahead and deliver nothing to us.

Hillary Clinton is head and shoulders a better bet for the Democratic party in 2008!

you have my vote.

The Poll of Polls state that the time period within which this poll was taken was four days into the "bitter" issue, why then does CNN's newscasters keep saying on TV that these polls were conducted prior to this distorted issue. Please get the facts straight it was either before, during or after. I would really appreciate CNN clearing up this issue.

I looked on Clinton's and Obama's websites. They have basically the same point of view for most of the issues. Issues are what's important, not someone's tax return, religion, what they said 4 years ago..... There is so much hatred.

This year is the first year I've actually followed politics somewhat. I read the CNN ticker daily. I'm a gay 27yo male in Minneapolis. To me, politics don't seem like it should be such a chore. I wish the posters on here would grow up.

Obama 2008

What's the matter, Rezko didn't give him enough cash?

In this campaign, with all its bias and rigging, that person was never Obama. He had the full support of wealthy celebrities and Democratic leaders and the DNC and the Media, the caucus format and the discounted votes.

Clinton, on the other hand was always slammed and criticized and ridiculed and demeaned and mocked and slandered. She is never praised for her poised responses- like the Faith forum.

On the underdog meter, she is the one everyone loved to hate and loved to throttle and bash.

I think the gender hurdle to the presidency is understated and the racial hurdle has been overstated. Again giving an unfair advantage to one over the other.

Obama at a younger age than Clinton.

So what? I do not begrudge people their success and prosperity. I want more Americans to be able to share in that.

My concern is that cocky, arrogant, dismissive, swaggering and bragging did not work for me with Bush- and I like it even less in a democrat.

Obama has dissapointed me with his jeering, mocking of other candidates, and with his attitude of superiority.

I thought he was a thoughtful and honest man.

Obama DOES NOT get my vote.

Go 'Obama' go .... 08.

How can Obama believe that living in a foreign country as a child gives him an advantage in Foreign Policy experience?

First- the Islam of Indonesia of his youth in nothing like radical Islam of today ( more than 30 yrs later)

second- I was born in Italy and came to the USA at age 7- and I would not presume to know how Italians think and feel. Even Italian Americans can not be lumped into one pot. And how is Italy today, the same as Italy in a small poor town of 40 years ago?

Third- even then, teachers say he wanted to be #1, first in line, take charge. Sounds like the same snobby, holier-than thou Obama of today.
