This is an example of why you have to be very careful attacking others- especially when you have lots of baggage. The problem with Hillary's campaign is that this tactic isn't really working for her. The only time it did was before the Ohio Primary when her campaign distorted that story on NAFTA. That was less than honest. Obama seemed prepared for the Ayers question and Hillary kinda walked into a trap- He knew she'd attack him on that while she didn't know he'd come back. This has been a recurring theme in her campaign- they can attack but are unable to take a punch. The Clintons had a significant advantage in the campaign with name recognition- they squandered it and have been out maneuvered for the most part by Obama's campaign. This shouldn't have happened and you have to blame Clinton (which ever one you want)- and credit Obama's side for being where they are.

I like Hillary but I'm supporting Obama because I think he is the person you can trust the most and that is something we haven't had in the White House for a considerable time.

We are starting to see that this race is hurting the party. It's like getting in the ring with one fighter while another fighter watches. When you're done fighting the first guy (or gal) the next fighter steps in after watching your technique strengths and weaknesses. This isn't favorable for the person who fights twice. What the democratic fighters need to do is attack McCain together- stop attacking each other. He can't fight two at once.

L Bowie- Rev. Wright is not campaigning for Obama….BJ Bill is.

AZM- Thanks for having me honor you by donating Obama ANOTHER $200 just this week for YOU! Now I can take my turbin off and start drinking my Kool-aid for an early nomination victory!

I think its only fair to expect the first couple to be eye to eye at least most of the time..this simply previews fights and quarrels in WH if she takes it.

I didnt see the debates, but from what ive heard it was a draw. Hillary clearly understands policies – great. But her choices, her connections, her decisions…we need that too. Obama needs to fine tune his a little, and frankly I anticipate that he will surround himself with a great supporting cast – unlike Dubya. I want a president who is well rounded, and Hillary is not that.

The reality is, how effective has any president been in the last 30 years? How many campaign promises never come to fruition – on both sides? Are we really electing Obama or Clinton for their health care plans – which will probably never ever happen? No, we arent – we are electing a president who wont bomb the heck out of a country – just becuase. We are electing a president who wont jump without reviewing the actual circumstances…we are electing a president who wont walk into the world acting as if everything is owed to america.

Gosh, on top of all that – clintons shady dealings are scary – and the fact that Barack hasnt really talked about this should not lead any of you to believe that the republicans arent going to. We havent even seen the tip of the iceberg with the shadiness in her past.

If clinton is handed the nomination, i expect another 4 years of republican rule – but at least it will be funny as heck to watch her being revealed for the schmuck that she is.

Obama, he has met people who turned out to be shady – but he hasnt done anything shady with him. You want a distinction between he and Clinton, there you have it.

ACTUALL IF YOU SAW THE USATODAY THEN YOU OBAMA FANS WOULD SEE THAT HE IS LYING TOO. IN FACT HE LIED ON NATIONAL TV LAST NIGHT AND SAID HE DOESN'T TAKE MONEY FROM LOBBIEST BUT THERE WAS AN ARTICLE IN USATODAY YESTERDAY THAT HE HAS IN FACT TAKEN MONEY FROM SOME OF THE MAJOR OIL COMPANIES. SO HE IS PREACHING ONE THING BUT PRACTICING ANOTHER.

Hillary has said that if she had a pastor like Rev. Wright she would have left the church – said that you can't pick your family but you can pick your pastor. Well Hillary you can also PICK YOUR HUSBAND. With Hillary it is all about power and as far as her marriage, it is nothing but an arrangement.

Help Lou Help……………………………………………………

to: To forgive is divine
you are so right!!!

I love it when supporters of Senator Clinton say that it was Bill Clinton not her that did the pardoning. Isn't it Hillary that is using those 8 years as part of her "35″ years of experience? As far as the media goes, I don't think they have even come close to really examine HER credentials. Has anyone (MSM) really, and I mean REALLY, spoken about her claims of her participation in the Northern Ireland peace agreement? NAFTA? Or how about the promise of creating jobs in NY state when running for Senator in 2000? Oh, I forgot. That was Al Gore's fault because he didn't win the Presidency.

This will backfire on her also. William Ayers, per my reading, as paid his debt to society and has moved on and became a respected college professor and that is the context on the casual relatationship be our Next President, Barack Obama

Dems United!!!

Shameful performance by George S. Barack did a good job of parrying the Willaim Ayres question. "I was 8 years old" exposes just how inane the question really is.

On the other hand we have Hillary sounding like somewhere deep down she is coming to a slow realization that just isn't going to go her way. Hope she doesn't firebomb the place on the way out the door.

Bottom line is that the so-called "Debate" sucked canal water. The only real winners where ABC's sponsors; They received far more air time than any of the REAL ISSUES received.

I'm not sure which alternate Universe the Clintons live in, but it sure must be one hateful, spiteful, self-serving, holier-than-thou place, where no one dares speak the truth.

What a terrible debate in terms of real substantive issues being talked about. Charles Gibson and George Stephonopolous just perpetuated stories that mean nothing in terms of the issues that this country faces.

The only positive I see is that the more that comes out before the general election on either Dem candidate takes away the thunder the GOP may have generated by bringing it up this fall.

Hillary is such a poll-hungry, fickle woman. She has certainly proven herself to be a decent Republican-minded politico, but she lacks heart, she lacks integrity, and she sure as hell lacks my support.

Does anyone else find it odd that no one has jumped on her weird Bible-friendship with the likes of John Ashcroft? Come on, CNN, we shouldn't have to scour Mother Jones and The Nation to learn about her sketchy religiosity.

This debate was horrible.

Filled with non issues, and tabloid type questions. I believe Obama was in shock most of the debate!

I do believe it made Hillary look bad. She declined to comment when he mentioned Bill's pardons, when she tried to slam Obama on a fleeting relationship with Ayers, moments before.

Hillary made the biggest mistake!

She admitted Obama is electable, although she was pressed to do it.

She could have told the truth about how she feels, if she indeed feels Obama is not electable!

At any rate, she and Harold Ickes can play that tune to the Supers anymore, or she will certainly look like a blantant liar!

I donated again to Obama, after the debate!

As an independent voter these days and watching the dems go on, anyone who really believes that Hillary is electable is either naive or foolish. At this point, she could not beat John McCain and as a side note, anyone can discuss or have a plan but implementing that plan a different story…

Hillary dismisses herself when in her campaign saying Obama is not electable. NOW, in the last night debates, she comfirms three times he's electable. Where does Hillarry stand and what does she mean to the american people ? Can we count on Hillary's words? We don't think so. Her campaign is really crazy.

I don't know how you can say your not stupid when the STUPIDITY that played out of the "Clinton Campaign Playbook" has not only been stupid, but it has nearly torn the Democratic party apart, and has certainly given John McCain some momentum!!

Barack Obama has picked up FIVE SUPERDELEGATES IN THE LAST FEW DAYS!! That tell's me that ONE BY ONE — THEY ARE MARCHING — RIGHT ON OVER TO BARACK OBAMA!!

What's good for the goose is good for the gander!!! HILLARY CERTAINLY FELT SOME HEAT LAST NIGHT!! And the HEAT will only continue!! IT'S BARBEQUE TIME, HILLARY — CHARCOAL AND ALL — YOU WILL BE ROASTED!!!

The debate was one sided to get at Obama. No one was on Clinton and the things she's done.

This debate was horrible.

Filled with non issues, and tabloid type questions. I believe Obama was in shock most of the debate!

I do believe it made Hillary look bad. She declined to comment when he mentioned Bill's pardons, when she tried to slam Obama on a fleeting relationship with Ayers, moments before.

I donated again to Obama, after the debate!

YOU DON'T CHOSE YOUR FAMILY, BUT YOU DO CHOSE YOUR SPOUSE AND WHO YOU PARDON…..First NAFTA, then the Columbian Trade Agreement, now the Weather Underground….Hillary and Bill sure disagreed on a lot while they were running the county!

Sorry, but it is not just the Underground pardons that need to be answered for. How about Marc Rich, the ones orchestrated by her goofy brothers or was it Clinton's goofy brother, the FALN pardons, etc. These two Clintons are shameless politicians only in it for themselves and that is why I WILL only vote for Obama or McCain.
Clintons are not worth my effort or care!

Wow!!!! Many of you cannot see the forrest for the trees. It seems to me that your candidtate would have to beat up a blind child for you to even question them. I am sure the blind child would be at fault. Just like "screw them" when talking about southern whites. I am sure she misspoke there too. Talk about the blind leading the blind. Lets see. Screw the white southerners, young people are stupid, what is left to vote? Oh, the gullible

Zak from Chicago,

You are absolutely right. Also, listening to Sean Hannity is an insult to my intellect.

I find it funny how people claim that CNN is biased, and claim something ISN'T biased when it IS fair. It's popular amongst the clintonites. :3 "OMG they asked clinton a hard question! That's not fair!" I bet if they asked, "Mrs. Clinton, is the sky blue?" but asked Obama, "How much weight can a sparrow carry and for how long?" they'd consider it fair.

Grow up, both sides. I'm for Obama, but I am SICK of how we tear each other up. I can't like Hillary. she's too much of a witch. Yeah, she is. And I like Obama because he's speaking to the people, and didn't grow up priveledged. No, he's not elitist–Hillary is. She's just planning on taking Obama down with her, fighting to the end.

Hillary needs to quit whining. Bill needs to keep his mouth shut and something else in his pants. And Chelsea needs to grow up, as do ALL of you–Obama and Clinton supporters alike.

Thank you. :3

To all these "the past is past" posters– Where is the evidence for your claims? What do you know about the current beliefs or the repentance of those two weatherwomen?

And how in God's name can you still be supporting the liar Hillary Clinton? Why does she appeal to you? Her vote to authorize the war maybe?

Yes! It always some thing they ask Obama about that Bill Clinton is some how connected! Go Obama – keep you foot on her neck. You did great last night considering it was 3 to 1! Hillary couldn't hang with one question about sniper fire!

OMG

Hillary is just Pathetic !

Please drop out now !

Obama has connections with Ayers, not Hillary! Hillary didn't issue the pardons and had no say in them. ANSWER THE QUESTIONS OBAMA, WITHOUT AN ATTACK AND ANOTHER QUESTION! What a FRAUD!

Comentators did wonderful jobs.

So why wasn't Hillary asked about Bill's pardon, and only Obama was questioned about "terrorist connections? Or any of Hillary's other known credibility incidents? This debate was a hatchet job on Obama, and as far as I'm concerned ABC has joined FOX in insignificance.

So Obama reflects attention off his relationship with terrorists by pointing out that Bill, NOT HILLARY, pardoned people in the same group.

I'M NOT FALLING FOR IT- YOU'RE STILL GUILTY OBAMA!!!!

I think the whole point of this is simple: both have ties to an organization that sought to promore terrorist acts on it's own people.

That cannot be tolerated….

And to the guy that quoted "From Dreams of my father"….

purity in the races will always be a multi way bridge, with each race doing it's part to help out the greater issue. Unfortunately, when you have bigots, racists, and people that simply blame white people, blacks, etc. for their own problems, YOU GET NOTHING but hate. Hate is also a multi-way bridge, with all races and nationalities having their own little way as well.

How is it again that Clinton has any chance whatsoever of gaining the nomination? Seriously, I'm unclear on how that could possibly happen. Is she hoping for 150 more superdelegates than Obama?

I really do not understand our country. I served in Vietnam and as anyone that has been in combat knows. You cannot win a war unless you have the troops to clear every town of wepons and keep troops in the town to build trust with the people.

Second, I cannot belive we are still wanting to put people in space. Why are we not taking that money and knowledge and using it to build cars that do not depend on oil. Look at what our grandparents did for our country during World War Two.

Third, I believe anyone that runs for President of the United States should only be able to receive funds approved by the people of the United States. No Lobbyist money, No Corporate money, No Special interest money.

Thank you,

Miles Shepard

ABC hosted a horrible debate. The policy questions were 45 minutes in to the debate! The hosts kept interupting, it was plain awful..NBC or CNN from now on please.

Hello CNN- she didn't bring it up, the commentators did. GREAT REPORTING!!! You guys are sooo biased!

BOYCOTT!!! Make them apologise for their blatant disdain for the American Public. Make them apologise for not telling the truth on why we invaded Iraq. Make them accountable for greed and hubris while kids are dying in Iraq. Tell the Truth ABC. We're mad as hell, and we're not going to take it anymore. Make them accountable to US!! Make them apologise to us for treating us like we're stupid. Too bad, ABC, you are the ones who will take the brunt for all the lies from corporate media. You just pushed your luck a little too far. Apologise!! Demand it!! Charlie…while you are worrying about your capital gains tax, kids are dying, dying in a war your company promoted. BOYCOTT, until they apologise for getting paid millions for not doing their job. And DEMAND that everyone at corporate wear their flag lapel pin.

Mary,get a clue! Rodham is NOT Hillary's middle name…it is her MAIDEN name! Geez!

Hillary has made a point of taking credit for things done during the "Clinton Administration" therefore when Bill pardoned those criminals …she should also be responsible. She has also claimed her "experience" from being in the White House. If she learned how to be a President from Bill…. then we are in trouble.

Of course she saw his ploy coming.

She is smarter than Obama.

She also realizes it has nothing to do with HER or her campaign.

She preffered to discuss the issues- and not be derailed by his constant inappropriate attacks.

Stay with the issues Hillary. That is what we want and love about you.

Let him wallow in hate and violence.

Stick with love and forgiveness.

Don't talk bad bout Mr. Obama…………….u gonna get deleted.

I'm sorry, but the "I'm not sure, but I'll check" response typically doesn't fly in politics. Coming from a professional human spin cycle such as Howard Wolfson, I really would have expected a more drawn-out, illogical response than that.

OBAMA…like his brother "Abongo "Roy" Odinga" who hates America, and their communist grandfather who ran with Russia and hated America, not to mention his socialist connection with domestic terrorist Bill Ayers, and his profound childhood mentor Frank Marshall Davis, a member of the Communist Party.

OBAMA…was a member of the Woods Fund with communist domestic terrorist Bill Ayers who bombed the Pentagon, the US Capital, among other things.

HE is the one who pardoned them – not her. Why should she be held accountable to answer for what he did? Oh – and I'm not even a Democrat.

Hillary supporters sho say Barack looked like a deer under the inquisition should thank him. The only real powerful counterpunch on the pardons Hillary immediately recoiled choosing to respond after the break and then never brought it up. Think what would happen if she was going after a similar or old-style politician like the republicans.

I am an old white democrat female and will vote for John McCain before I will vote for Obama.

Always pointing that finger. So condecending. No more Clintons!!!!!

To "Bill" at the beginning of all these.

"It's her husband, stupid, not Hillary. Stop blaming her husbands screw ups on her."

Uh, Bill….
"It's his Pastor, stupid, not Obama. Stop blaming Wrights screw ups on him."

'Nuf said.

Hey Bill!!!!

Why not blame her? She's trying to claim the positive points and successes of his tenure as qualifying experience for the Presidency, why not the negatives and failures too???

Oh, I'm sorry Mr. President, I didn't realize it was you making this comment under a different handle.

When will all this nonsense com to an end? Let's talk about real issues. I'm just tired how the media is just living and thriving on non-issues just for the hype and to create more division. And the superdelegates should pledge after april 22 so this whole soap opera can end. Grow up america

Republicans see the weakness……..notice they all of a sudden want Obama to be the nominee.

if you do not want pardons, then take away the option. What Bill Clinton did is what every president does at the end of their term which is PARDON THE GUILTY….big difference from what they are accusing OBAMA of……….Obama is a wimp and it SHOWED LAST NIGHT

If Obama gets elected….the military will overwhelmed with lawsuits.
Soldiers will line up to be released from service.

Saluting the flag …..not important? Why should soldiers salute him?

American people are smarter than the Clintons and ABC.
Sorry Hillary just lost my vote!

Check out the Bosnia and Back Again video on You Tube. How does that song go? True colors……

Obama's goose is cooked.

His hype of hope has been exposed.

He peddles hate as love and religion.
He peddles division as unity.
He is a new type of politician that runs an old style of attack campaign.

He and his wife believe in Hating America unless A black man can run it his way.

From MSNBC – Some 300,000 U.S. troops are suffering from depression or post traumatic stress from serving in the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, and 320,000 received brain injuries, a new study estimates.

But by all means, let's talk about flag lapel pins. Now that's important.

Ok, so democrats, now this is getting to the point where it IS beginning to hurt the democrats chance in the fall. Stop attacking each other and tell us why a democratic president is better than another republican president.

All we heard last night was innuendo and smear. Do we believe that Obama and Clinton hate America? I don't.

Do we believe that Clinton and Obama believe that planting bombs at the Pentagon is an acceptable way to show anger with the government? I don't.

Anyone who does is as self-delusional as any terrorist. Calling people names isn't a great way to determine if they are good candidates. The moderators last night basically said – we accuse you of being 1) unpatriotic 2) a hate-filled bigot 3) a terrorist sympathizer.

What the heck are the candidates supposed to say? The proper answer is that you are asking insulting stupid questions.

I like the tax questions. I don't think either candidate really explained their positions very well. But after being accused as they were, maybe they were both thrown a little off guard. ABC was clumsy and stupid and they think we are too. ABC I feel that you insulted ME.

I knew a crazy man in our neigborhood. We used to be childhood friends. I guess by Hilary/CNN/ABC and right wing argument, I'm also a crazy person. Well, as a white I know this argument wouldn't apply to me, it's only applicable to OBAMA!

Oh and by the way, I love the bags under Hillary's eyes in the picture on this page and I though McCain looked old and tired…

Hillary : Can we remove this question from the yesterday debate?

Shameful performance by George S. Barack did a good job of parrying the Willaim Ayres question. "I was 8 years old" exposes just how inane the question really is.

On the other hand we have Hillary sounding like somewhere deep down she is coming to a slow realization that just isn't going to go her way. Hope she doesn't firebomb the place on the way out the door.

THIS IS A MAJOR POINT IN THAT NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED. HOW CAN BILL CLINTON PARDON MEMBERS OF THE WEATHER UNDERGROUND AND THEN ATTACK OBAMA ON THE AYERS SITUATION. AT LEAST HE DID NOT PARDON ANYONE. HILLARY'S PEOPLE HAVE A LOT OF EXPLAINING TO DO.

I'm glad to see that when given the chance Obama stayed true to himself and stayed away from bashing on Hillary and tried to focus on the issues that the debates should have been about in the first place. At times I felt like I was watching a political version of TMZ, where facts don't matter but gossip goes a long way. In the other hand, Hillary could not wait to try and stick it to Obama when given a chance. She reminds me of a cars salesmand who will do anything to close the sale, even sell out and trash talk his own boss if that's what it will take to convince the buyer he is on "his side".

STOP PORTRAYING HILLARY CLINTON AS A DEVOUT CHRISTIAN!!!!

Hillary Clinton is not a devout Christian. Neither is John McCain. Barack Obama is. Those three things are facts. Neither McCain nor Clinton should be disqualified for that reason alone, but the implication that McCain and Clinton are devout churchgoers is absolutely absurd.

The only reason Hillary did not seem defensive if because Obama refused to use the old political tactics. He even gave her an out on Bosnia. Look at all the attacks he could have lobbed:

(1) Can one accurately say you are implicitly spending Columbia's money while you claim to be against their trade deal since you fie a joint tax with Bill and he took 800K from them?

(2) If you are very serious about this opposition to the deal, why would you not fire your top staff member that collects money for promoting the deal you oppose?

(3) As a follow up to the Bosnia story (the way they kept hounding Barack): Can you call it a mispeak if you repeated the same falsehood three times?
Is Bill's explanation accurate that this happens when one 60 and getting a little forgetful?

(4) Do you believe that Barack is indeed elitist compared to you considering that you also went to Yale and made 110 million last year?

(5) Peter Paul v the Clintons. Is this a mark of patriotism promising benefits in the interest of the wealth in exchange for payback and contribution?

KUDOS TO ABC–FINALLY A MEDIA THAT ISN'T GIVING OBMAMA A FREE RIDE…TOO BAD CNN- HASN'T SHOWN THE GUTS DO TO THE SAME……………..

The superdelegates should weigh in sooner rather than later, this is getting ridiculous. If they are waiting becasue they don't want to lose Hillary supporters, they should re-evaluate this decision. The longer this goes on, and IF it goes on much longer, supporters from whichever side that loses will not show up in November. But is you wait, not only will the Dems lose these voters, but we will lose the election in general. Hillary is doing McCain's job for him and we need to let him do his own work. Obama can handle it….but he becomes a weaker candidate when he has both Hillary and McCain hitting him. This is not good for the Supers to allow to happen. We will lost in November, if something isn't done NOW!

Bill

I guess that it is easier to accept no blame for your husbands screw-ups, than it is to be blamed for your Pastor's (supposed) screw-ups!!!
Boy this is a double standard of the highest degree.

What is going to happen now is this, Hillary's kitchen sink is coming back like a boomerang, and she can't even duck it, like she did in Bosnia from Sniper Fire.

Her whole campaign is hinging on Superdelegates. She looked just as vulnerable up their as Barack did. She handed him the nomination with the "Yes, Yes, Yes" response to whether or not he can beat McCain. That was the one doubt she has played effectively and probably could have used to make a strong case to the remaining Superdelegates. She then says she'd make a better candidate, like that is going to put her over the top with the Superdelegates.
Well clearly the American people don't think so. She is behind in states won, delegates and popular vote and she is losing support. I hear more endoresments of Barack daily. When is the last one you heard for Hillary…of besides Mr. Johnson from BET, he's a winner…

President clinton pardoned convicted terrorists, yuck!!! please stay away from the white house!!! willam ayers is an english professor in chicago if he is as bad or criminal he shd be in jail!!!!

"William Ayers made hateful comments in recent years, after 9/11."

FYI. And maybe it doesn't matter much to those who have made up their mind, or don't agree with Ayers at all, or think this is at all relevant… but in the interest of playing with the proper facts…

NYTs reports that Ayers comments about more bombs came out (coincidentally) on Sept. 11, 2001. He had made the comments five days earlier.

And it's possible that this guy has made more comments after that.

But… how does this help me reduce my health care premiums (I pay $10,200 per year for a family of four, with a $1000 deductable, $30 doctor co-pay, no maternity coverage, and and 80/20 split on most procedures.) How does this help us figure out how to get out of Iraq. Do we really want to continue a $12 Billion/month war? How does this help us stop the bleeding that is now our economy?

Oh wait, I think we need a deeper discussion on who wears and flag on their lapel and who doesn't. That will really help.

So wasn't Hillary asked about Bill's connection, and only Obama was questioned about "terrorist connections? Or any of Hillary's other known credibility incidents? This debate was a hatchet job on Obama, and as far as I'm concerned ABC has joined FOX in insignificance.

"When Clinton made the Bosnia gaffe, she apologized for it."

No, first she blamed it on "sleep deprivity", then when called out which of the multiple times she said it was she sleep deprived, she said she "mis-spoke." She lied, got caught, it's not the end of the world though, so lets move on.

For the Larry Sinclair folks. The man failed two lie detector tests. But you could care less. Let's stick to the facts ma'am

More irrelevant childish tit for tat from Obama.

We do not hold people to their sins of yesteryear after they have repented and grown and moved on.

Just like we do not consider you a cocaine and drug user TODAY.

Your white granny moved on from the bias and hatred of Jim Crow… along with countless rural white women of 40 years ago. Rev Wright did not. He continued to hate and to preach it from the pulpit.

Those pardoned men had moved away from their politics of hate and violence. William Ayers, after 9/11 apparently still had not.

BIG DIFFERENCE.

Another Homer Simpson moment for good 'ol Hill

Doooohhhh!!!!

Once again, Hillary's attempts to smear Obama have come back to bite her in the butt. You'd think that she would have learned her lesson by now. But, I guess the real lesson is that she should have mustered up the courage to divorce the creep when she had the chance. His reckless behavior not only destroyed his presidency, it has also destroyed hers. The fact that she keeps making this mistake over and over, leads me to believe that she is not qualified to lead this nation.

THE WHITE PEOPLE BRING US WHERE WE ARE NOW,
WE ARE IN THE TOP OF THE WORLD. WHY DO WE WANNA CHANGE THAT, WE JUST NEED IMPROVEMENT TO A BETTER ECONOMY

She states that she and Bill share everything and that he will be a part of her Presidency. The Clinton years will not end with her being put in office they will start again. Obama was blind-sided last night but handled himself well considering he could have done what Hillary has done in the past which is whined about the unfairness of it all, but he took his shots and answered the questions truthfully and tried to move on to issues. ABC should be ashamed of themselves for an unfair debate. Gibson I though was a fair journalist, but my opinion has changed. ABC has lost a viewer due to the debate, but Obama has gained a loyal supporter.

As a law intern Hillary also supported the black panthers. Went to the trials to find reasons for an appeal.
You don't know why they did the pardons??? come on you know it was for votes and payoffs. You guys must be to young to remember all that.
That's another reason Hillary needs to get in. More friends to pardon and money collected.

Sean: I don't think she literally is. I'd be surprised if they even slept in the same room together. This is a marriage of convenience – though it seems it's growing ever more inconvenient for her.

ABC News should publicly apologize for that excuse for a "Debate" last night. They had no interest in issues, despite the very academic cover of the Constitution. Charlie looked like a hanging judge and George was in "Gotcha" mode. His old boss, Hillary will never admit she lied. "I made a mistake" (for which I want forgiveness.) The big loser overall: ABC News.

Bill Clinton is not running for President!

UCLA students for Hillary

I'm a 26 year old, unemployed college graduate. The debate last night was the laughing stock of all countries! Simply because it shows how pety Americans really are. Here we are in the year 2008 and Hillary Clinton's campaign is involved in the biggest gossip against Obama. Americans can look back and look at what her husband did for our economy and so forth, but let's not forget that he was invloved in one of the biggest scandles with his affair. Hillary was not even strong enough to leave her unfaithful husband. How is she strong enough to lead a country. I'll tell you how, by letting her husband run it. This election is a bunch of gossip. Let's stick to the issues and not who someone knew or use to know!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Obama was questioned about his relationship with Bill Ayer as well. How come this is not on the ticker?

Politics is a lot murkier. In the recent article in Times, the writer talks about the influence of Barak"s mother in his upbringing. Strangely Barak was not even by her side when she was on the death bed. What about dad, what influence he got from that side? Why does he not talk about this relationship. The mother I think was invoked just to get white votes.

Who cares? She's history.

BARACK HUSSAIN OBAMA IS WINNING AMONGST LIBERALS…..

THERE IS NO CHANCE THE AMERICA WILL ELECT HIM IN NOV….. IF HE IS THE NOMINEE, I PITY DEMOCRATS !

Sean- I totally agree that the attack is fair, my only concern is that CNN shows way more of the attacks on Clinton than Obama – you can see for yourself many HRC supporters are calling CNN out for not publicizing when Obama was in question. They also don't cover her gain of superdelegates, or when she was up 20% in the polls in PA last week. it's not objective journalism.

the attacks on both sides are all fair – it's politics! I do think Hillary responds better to them. She never goes off on a tirade calling him "Annie Oakley", she is much more graceful and diplomatic.

~~

Here we go again… Clinton on the negative attacks again!!

Hello… Hillary you were there gaining your experience while your husband Bill pardoned these members??

Bottom line the Clinton's are grasping at straws and always seem to come up with the short one

The more that Obama doesn't stoop to their level the more he will win the people over. I know of 3 people who changed their vote to Obama just because of Clinton's negative attacks

Bill / Hill it's time for you guys to drop out of this race and stop dividing the party!

This is Karma once you do dirt dirt comes back to you see Hilary your comments backfired right on her This is what happens when you Play Poltics! Obama 08

I loved that man's question-
"Hillary you have lost my vote with sniper fire story..what will you say to get my vote back"

LOL…

From Dreams Of My Father;

“I ceased to advertise my mother's race at the age of 12 or 13, when I
began to suspect that by doing so I was ingratiating myself to whites”

Where was Hillary's flag pin? She was wearing a suit, why isn't she questioned on her patiotism, I agreed with Obama, people will vote pro-life, pro-gun and not look at what a candidate will do economically. I am not from a small town but am bitter. I work hard only to have 2 companies I work for go under in the last 7 years.

****News Alert****

Moderators for the next debate will be Carvelle and Penn!

The other Weathermen (those who were not killed in the explosion of the townhouse) did their time, a lot of it. Ayers got away with it due to mistakes by the prosecution. Also, he was the leader.

It's funny how they didn't want the audience to clap. We all know who'd they clap for.

Hippocricy and lies from the Clintons. Say it isn't so. Let's face it, Obama didn't bring up the involvement of the Clintons until she brought up the issue as an attack against Obama. Seems like another backfire, and proof that her and her husband have yet to be fully vetted. Think what the repugs would do to her. We are so fortunate we will have Obama as our nominee. He will make a great president.

Hillary is like a basketball team twenty points behind with only 60 seconds left. All she has left now to do is foul. If she would look in the stands, the crowd is leaving and going to McCain.
There is nothing new here except the minutia being drudged up by the media and tired old fouls by Clinton. This needs a merciful ending or there won't be a Democrat President in January 2009..

The Clinton last-minute pardons were considered to be absolutely horrible at the time – you can still read the NY Times articles online about the large numbers of pardons under very suspicious circumstances. The NY Times was disgusted, and I don't think anyone would disagree that it is a paper on the more liberal half of the spectrum.

Do an internet search and you will get all the info you want on the Clinton pardons…

What is the point to all of this. Most people on the blogs are going to find anything to tear down Hillary. Well, she clearly won that debate last night..I find it more interesting that Obama dodged most of his questions and then tried to throw an attack on Hillary.

Also, It does not matter who Bill Clinton pardoned or what Bill Clinton did. He is not running for office. Hillary is not Bill Clinton and can and should be judged on her merits, not a former President, husband or not.

Stick to the issues and you will see Clinton is far superior to Obama.

PeterPaulGate. Good one Emmanuel. I am waiting for that one to come and blow up in Hillary's face. That will be one of the biggest scandals.

I cannot wait for this to get over….
i am looking forward to McCain tearing this boy out right and left….
There is no chance the Hussain Obama is going to withstand Mccain. he might have to get therapy from Rev Wright.

I want my president and his family to be patriotic…. throughout their life, not just for elections.

Hillary was not in the Oval Office. She didn't create any pardons. As she has proven time and agian, she is not Bill Clinton. Nice try, Obama.

If anyone saw the debate last night, Obama fully explained his relationship with this guy, pointed out that he was 8 years old when the illegal activities occurred and seemed perfectly willing to drop the subject.

Hillary of course had to add her digs in. Which forced Obama to ask why Bill had pardoned two of these people.

Hillary, with the help of the moderators was perfectly willing to keep the negative attacks going all night long. Only Obama seemed interested in discussing the issues.

People don't forget

female grad student NYC,

No Hillary should be held responsible for the bad things of her husband's adminstration. Because Hillary, as well as her surrogates and supporters like you, seem to think she be responsibility for the good things. You can't just take the good and leave the bad. It doesn't work that way, honey. Unless, in typical Clinton manner, you believe all the rules should favor you and make things more difficult for your competitors. Pathetic. HRC is a fraud and a con artist. She is a snake-oil saleswoman.

I'T THE OLD DEBATE ALL THE TIME, OBAMA IS COPYING ALL HILLARY'S ANSWER BUT PUT IT IN DIFFERENT WORDS.

Shame on ABC for pandering to exploitive and divisive politics!

So I have a question: Hillary's campaign seems to be based on one principle – that is that Obama is unelectable because he's not as tough as she is; she can get nasty with the Republicans and she's clearly the ONLY one that can get nasty enough to beat the Republicans………. how does she reconcile that

with the fact that Obama is beating her????? Despite her nastiness?

Could it be that she is being condescending to the voters? Does she really believe she can "make it so" simply by saying it outloud – a little liike the Bosnia story?

Or could it be that there really is a larger segment of that voting block that finally found a voice in Obama? One that doesn't want divisivness; that wants to be spoken to as adults and partners in our democracy; one that doesn't want to apoligize for being hopeful AND idealistic???

Hillary's response: "I may be a lot of things, but I'm not stupid." She certainly confirmed to the American voting public that she is two-faced liar and an unscrupulous narcissistic opportunist. She's lost the nomination and will whine up until the day Obama wins the nomination. No more Hillary! Anyone but Hillary!

Hallelujiah!

Hillary Clinton is a SERIAL LIAR just as her husband is a SERIAL CHEATER.
They cannot be trusted – they'll always violate the White House – it's in their DNA.

If you saw the debate, you know Hillary was debating personal issues and Senator Obama was trying to stay on tract with real issues facing Americans today. Hillary brought this issue up, this was the first time Obama had mentioned any of Hillarys nasty background and he had no choice this time. I wish Senator Obama had asked Hillary how her husband could be lobbying for the Columbian Trade Deal and deposted his pay of $800,000 into their bank account with out her knowledge; and how could her campaign manager take time off to go to Columbia without her knowledge. NAFTA has had a huge negative backlash for American workers and it is an issue if Hillary is still supporting these kinds of trade deals. I believe she does and is still supporting not only NAFTA but more sweeping trade deals. The Clinton's have made a lot of money for pushing Trade Agreements through Congress.

From Dreams Of My Father;

“The emotion between the races could never be pure….. THE OTHER RACE (WHITE) WOULD ALWAYS REMAIN JUST THAT: MENACING, ALIEN AND APART”

Did Bill really pardon those terrorists?

Wow i did not know that…Hmmm..

President Clinton didn't pardon Ayers, who was the group's leader. Ayers is a friend of Obama's, not the others.

Why is America punishing Obama for Rev. Wright's comments and actions. Why is America punishing Hillary for Bill's actions. If you personal think about how ignorant it would be for someone to judge you on who all you have ever been in the company of, you would reframe from this nonsense and stick to the matter at hand. People, we need to focus on what is important. Those important issues are the economy, healthcare, the war, global warming, immigration, and foreign policy. I am sick of the mud slinging, racial overtones, and immature antics that have been going on between the campaigns and their supporters. In the words of Hillary, "I love my country, but am looking for my government to stand up for the people". In the words of Obama" I am bitter, but clinging to my religion to help relieve some of the dispair I feel. Finally, in contrary to Michelle Obama, " I am not proud of my Country". At least not at this moment. The United States has lost its gleam the shined all over the world not too long ago. This administration has to go. The candidates need to focus on their differences from the republican party and focus on those strengths.

as an american obama owes the voting public answers to his many questionable "friendships". hillary wasn't attacking him, this is a fair question that should be explored more by the main stream media. obama's annoyance when he is asked questions he doesn't want to answer is an example of his arrogance. he'll never be able to handle the republicans and swift boaters if he get's the nomination, which I doubt after his poor debate performance.

I am getting sick of these debates. What is the purpose.? They are not even entertaining. I wished ABC has concentrated on issues and plans rather then small stuff that will not solve any problem. Both candidates are smart and have good of the country in their heart. Both will make excellent president compare what we got or what Republicans are putting forward. I blame DNC for this 6 weeks break where idle time is filled by these useless stuff. Media has to fill air time to sell time. There is nothing to report. Lets voters make up their own mind without such media help. Media is a big business and does not have the national objective except for maximizing profit.
Lets primary go and then superdelegates quicly vote and lets winner of delegates win. Get on with business of preventing third term for Bush.

That is exactly what she gets her statement turned back on her that is Karma I love Keep it up Hilary you are Drowning yourself not even touching the skin of Barack Obama. Thank you Senator Obama for Being Kind this Evil hag

Who cares about last night debate? It was all hit job to Obama. I hope he doesn't accept another debate!

Ayers is still alive and kicking, and again Obama has ties with another
anti American.

Who cares what Bill Clinton did 10 years, that was then and Hillary
is NOW.

Hillary 08

No flag pin for Obama
No respect for the national anthum
Anti American mentor Rev. Wright

DOES THAT TELL ANYONE ANYTHING

READ THIS KATHLEEN RETIRED PROFESSIONAL B/W

From Dreams Of My Father;

“THAT HATE HADN’T GONE AWAY,” he wrote, BLAMING WHITE PEOPLE,- SOME CRUEL, SOME IGNORANT, sometimes a single face, sometimes just a faceless image of a system claiming power over our lives.”

You know what Ramon? I have always been amazed at how Bill Clinton, Dick Cheney, and GW Bush basically dodged the draft, but people actually see them as patriotic. People in America really are stupid, aren't they? And let's not even talk about how Rev. Wright hates America when he waived his deferment while in college and volunteered for Vietnam. Yeah, that really sounds like a flag burner.

DEMOCRATS WHILE WE'VE BEEN BASHING ONE ANOTHER, DID YOU SEE THE BIO OF JOHN MCCAIN'S PAST AND HIS WIFE CINDY. IT AIN'T PRETTY AND TAX PAYORS BAILED OUT INVESTORS OF LINCOLN SAVINGS. JOHN MCCAIN WAS ONE OF THE KEATING 5 INVOLVED IN THE RIP-OFF AND CHARLES KEATING AND HIS SON WENT TO PRISON, JOHN MCCAIN WALKED AWAY FREE.

Ironic that the democrats don't have a solid candidate that can withstand questions of judgement and ethics.

Democrats, Lets all calm down and work together!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This Country, Our Country Cannot take anymore Bush Politics!!!!!!!!!

From Dreams Of My Father;

“To avoid being mistaken for a sellout, I chose my friends carefully. The more politically active black students. The foreign students. The Chicanos. The Marxist professors and structural feminists.”

Ya, she brought it up and bounced back right to her nose!

Go Obama, we have your back!

It is about time the media takes her to task.
shecontinually takes credit for the Clinton Administration, why should she not take the heat. She should also be made to answer NAFTA, Penn, total tax transparency, Bosnia, Insurance, her board postion on Walmart, the 800k that went to their personal account from Columbia trade agreement that Bill supports, and to many things to mention that the media has let her skate on. She needs to be vetted!!!

PA voters, please end this now by voting overwhelmingly for aObama!!

A vote for Hillary just drags out the enevitable, I don't mean that as nasty at all!!

The Media is the only one to gain by dragging this out.

Yes, you can make the distinction. The position of President is not a joint position. It was bill's pardon, not Clinton's. Obama never addresses anything that comes out of his closet without blaming Clinton. The Republicans must like this. If Obama is the nominee, he can't withstand the Republicans' attacks.

Obama, please release your tax records when you were a Senator in Illinois. I know you will say that because I (a factory worker) didn't release mine to the public, you can't release yours. Give me a break! Just answer the question.

Obama supporters:

One's past misdeeds are not equal to one's current actions, today.

Obama used drugs in his past. Did he change or is he still doing that now?

Those men were pardoned. They no longer cling to their despicable positions of 40 years ago.
Obama's white grandmother was a 40 years ago rural white woman who changed her bigotry and bias.

William Ayers was recent- after 9/11. Still hating.
Rev Wright was recent and continuous for 40 years. Still hating.

A lot of progress has been made in 40 years. Some have changed with the social and spiritual evolution of man.

Obama's world had stayed with the old attitudes of hate, violence and division.

Others have embraced change and become better people over 40 years.

William Ayers made comments that appeared in the paper ON 9/11, NOT AFTER. His comments were related to a pending publication of his and UNRELATED TO 9/11. Please check you facts.

I was outrage when one of the question asked, "Do you consider yourself a Patriot?" The question was asked due to Barak Obama don't wear an American Flag pin. And that question always asked when an African-American involve. I'm an African-American female, on the 4th of July, I don't fly the American flag or dress in Red, White and Blue but all of male relatives are American Worriers (Soldiers) and yes, I DO LOVE MY COUNTRY (U.S.A.)!!

Rahni, Connecticut

Obama is friends with Ayers, who has actually said he wished he had set off more bombs. Where as President Clinton pardoned two members who admitted their guilt and served time. BIG DIFFERENCE.

To the nitwit who asked about the middle name…Rodham is her maiden name. It is not a middle name given at birth! DUH!

So what if CNN is partial to Obama. If you don't like the content read ABC or FOX news. The choice is yours.

Obama 08

Lets not forget the famous Marc Rich.

ABC did a great job last night. Good Debate. It was Fair.

I totally agree with what "Middle-aged American" said above and wrote something very similar last night in another blog. Hillary is doing more to divide the party than bring people together. We want to hear about the issues that will affect us as americans. The war is taking up the money we need for our economy. Is it more important to win the war than employ, feed, house, provide medical care for the American people? NO IT"S NOT!

YOU CLINTON PEOPLE AND ABC ARE INSANE. You don't care that Ayers is a professor (forming young minds) but you care that he's friendly with Barack Obama? COM'ON DOES THAT SOUND NORMAL TO YOU?

One question I would liked to have seen directed to Senator Obama, as usual, wasn't.

The question… "Senator Obama, if middle America "clings" to guns and God because they are "bitter" about a lack of help from the government… and you're campaign is about giving them that help… is it then your contention that, as a result of the help you will give them, they should then abandon their guns and their God?"

One question I would liked to have seen directed to Senator Clinton, as usual, wasnt.

The question… "Senator Clinton, could you please explain how records from the Rose Law Firm, under supoeana for more than 2 years, ended up on a desk in the private living quarters of the White House… with notations, in your handwriting, in the margins?"

The debate was a discrace. Despite it all, what we will always know about HRC and BC is that they are liars who will do anything, including destroy the Democrat party for their own political gain.

if you insist on playing in the mud,you'll wind up going home,..dirty..

I can't imagine why any President would pardon traitors. I think overall everyone is just nitpicking at everyone else. I wish that all three candidates would stop picking and start telling us what they intend to do to make things better.

@ gary – Turn your caps lock off; writing in all caps displays your low intelligence no matter what side you are on.

female grad student,

obama has stated repeatedly that he shouldn't be held accountable for what other people say or do. "other people" should not, and will not, include the candidate's husband. not because he's her husband, but because the vast majority of her vaunted supposed experience is based on her husband's successful presidency. to channel bob johnson of the clinton camp, if her name was hillary smith and she was a random second-term senator from NY do you think she'd start out with the overwhelming establishment support in terms of fundraising, superdelegates, and political infrastructure? yeah right.

the thing about hillary is that she is so quick to take credit for (as though she was the president) all the positive things that happened between 1992 and 2000. for anything remotely negative though, she was a quiet dissenter and was against it at the time, but just didn't want to speak publicly against it. again, yeah right.

hillary's candidacy is unique in the sense that its largely based upon her trading on the work of her husband's presidency. while i do not question the many first-hand accounts from within the white house that suggest that she was, in fact, a major participant in that presidency, i likewise do not feel the need to excuse her for any of the clinton presidency's actions that, in hindsight, are less than popular.

while hillary clinton appears to have a greater command of detailed policy issues, i believe that either she or obama would be capable of efficiently and effectively mastering all the information required of a commander in chief, one no more so than the other. i do think that hillary is a significantly better organized debate participant, but in the context of the modern american "debate" format, that is hardly a qualification for the presidency. if it were an election for the "question dodging/soundbite in chief" she'd be my girl. but for commander in chief, i'll just take the smartest one in the room. reasonable minds can differ as to which (of the two – mccain's not even in this conversation) candidate that is, but in my mind its Sen. Obama. so he's my man.

Typical Obama, he never answers anything directly, but, always throws it back onto Clinton. Obviously, he is nervous about all of radicalism shining through. He is too radical to be our President and now we all know it for sure. No matter how much he tries to throw stuff on Hillary for what Bill did.

THE ONLY CREDIT HILLARY DESERVED IS BAD CREDIT. PLEASE PAY YOUR BILLS. (did say that out loud again?) oops, sorry

GO HILLARY. WE LOVE YOU

Lets see…how many untruths did Clinton dish out last night?
Mr. Stephanopoulos and Mrs. Clinton also referred to statements by Mr. Ayers in an article in The New York Times on Sept. 11, 2001, that Mrs. Clinton said were “deeply hurtful to people in New York.”

“I don’t regret setting bombs,” Mr. Ayers said then. “I feel we didn’t do enough.”

Mr. Ayers did not make the remarks after the attacks on the World Trade Center that day. The interview had been conducted earlier, in connection with a memoir that he had published, “Fugitive Days,” and he was referring to his experience in the Weather Underground.

I dont think Hillary outshone "golden boy" last night. Especially when she admitted to lying about Bosnia.

Clearly Hillary is above all the Silly Stuff that Oboma's camp just can't seem to get away from!

He is just too…..inexperienced, lacks good judgment, lies all the time, has many questionable friends and way too many chances to be Swift Boated by the Republicans.

Hillary is flying to her strengths and will make a Great President!

I'm writing only because i'm so sick of hearing your one sided stories and comments on the side of Obama. You should be ashamed of yourselves. I love how you are always quoting polls that say Hillary is losing. If Obama wins Hillary fans will get over it and vote for Obama. Well I for one can't even find these polls to take on your site. If I do find a poll it is closed . Today the polls should not be closed regarding the debat last night. What I really want to let you know is this… You are news people so you should know that not very many people i've talked to plan on voting for Obama if Hillary loses. They are going with Nadar even though he did cause us to have Bush so that is a lot of anger to get over in several months . I don't see it happening. I can't believe I have to watch fake Fox news now to find out what is happening in the world outside of Obama.

ABC was soooo biased!!!! Why didn't they attack Hillary about Mark Penn the same way that Obama was attack about Rev.Wright?! Was there even any Mark Penn questions? Makes me wonder she wrote some of the questions herself. So even though there was 3 against 1 last night Obama still came out on top and that is why he will be our next President.

Obama '08

Hillary pushed that story. She brought it up and the moderators had to ask Obama. Just to have backfired on her
Thanx hillary and your crazy husband.

who cares about last night debate anyway!

NICE TRY. I AM NOT SURE WHAT CNN CALLS ATTACK. WHAT IS AN ATTACK? PEOPLE JUST USE THIS WORD ARBITRARILY

Hillary Clinton is a joke, a fraud, and a con artist.

And now that she has gone on record and said Obama CAN win the Presidency, I wonder if her surrogates and rabbid supporters will confess the same. I'm not betting on it. Clinton continues to play her politcs and lose. Hopefully, when she goes the way of the dinosaur, her surrogates and supporters will too. But I'm not betting on that either. I'm sure she will be the new Ralph Nader. Eventually, she'll be 100 years old and still telling people she is more qualified to be President. Hillary Clinton is an embarrasement. She is pathetic.

Knowing a crook and sleeping with one are 2 very different things.

We know who is sleeping with the crook dont we?

where do you find these stories cnn, go search some more on Obama's true religious beliefs, dang, i almost would hope he would win, so you can spend the next 4 years explaining how the hell this country went from bad to worse

leave it to cnn to do their best to rehablitate obama..lol… cnn should take some pointers from abc how to give a real debate

WATCH OUT, DEMS, BECAUSE THE REPUBLICANS ARE PURPOSELY KEEPING YOU AT EACH OTHER'S THROATS AND IT IS WORKING OUT QUITE WELL.

I WILL TAKE EITHER OBAMA OR CLINTON JUST TO GET RID OF THE REPUBLICANS IN THE WHITE HOUSE.

DOES ANYBODY THINK THE SAME PEOPLE WHO ARE RUNNING THE WHITE HOUSE WILL LEAVE IF ANOTHER REPUBLICAN IS ELECTED?

FOOLISH DEMOCRATS. GO AHEAD AND EAT YOURSELVES UP. I AM AMAZED!

I guess HRC has not heard the phrase LET THE SLEEPING DOG ALONE. She had to bring up the weather underground issue. Hannity would be thinking christmas just came early.

Now she has to explain those pardons, oops. It can't get any worse , since she finally agreed that Obama is capable of beating Mccain in Nov.

Talk about Gaffs

Kathleen the white retired professional is a nut

I will bet any amount of money she is not WHITE

Pleeeze, everyone, try some properly placed punctuation. Stop the run on sentences. And for Pete's sake write complete thoughts. You're making me dizzy.

If Obama is "the candidate of a lifetime", why is he having so much trouble winning a big state?

The sad part was clinton was better on the issues. If she would have let fox news and abc do its job on Obama, she would have been in a much better state when all this came out. But now she just looks desperate. When on the contrary she is a strong, intelligent woman. Hillary supporters, it's not Obama, it's not the media, it's whoever is running her campaign. I have never seen a more poorly managed strategy. She is better than her campaign. But they are not focusing on her.

Hasn't Hillary already shown she's got absolutely no moral character already by now? Not to mention one serious problem with not being able to tell the truth. I asked my friend the other day who said she could be clinically diagnosed with a mental health condition based on what he's seen.

And you people want her to be President??
God help us all.

It looks like another non-issue will keep us from addressing the policies and solutions to serious challenges that face the American people.

"Divided we fail!!!"

enomisa,

Well now I've heard it all!

According to your logic, "hateful comments" (your view) is more difficult to forgive than " attacks including bombings". These people were pardoned by Bill Clinton!

What does Wolfson mean he doesn't know how Sen. Clinton feels on this issue? She keeps saying that she doesn't agree with this shady deal and that questionable deal, (only when these problems are exposed to the American voters), that Bill was involved in. Yet he (her husband) is out there stumping for her! Hello, what do you think!!!

I kept waiting for one of the candidates to say "Hey, wait a minute, are you going to ask any questions about the issues facing Americans, or are you just going to keep showing us what you found in our trashcan twenty years ago?"

The first one to come close to doing that was Obama who raised the idea of the distraction issues taking away from real issues.

He makes the most sense of all of them. I'm confirmed.

YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Every thing this evil woman throws at Obama – has a link to Bill Clinton! Keep you foot on her neck, Bill's neck! You did great last night Obama considering it was 4 to 1! As you stated – Hillary is preparing you for John McCain! And, let's not forget that Hillary said three times that yes, yes and yes you can win! And, we are!

Hillary is repugnant. She tries to stick the Ayers issue to Obama, but instead it bounced right back in her face. Bill Clinton pardoned two members of the weather underground who actually committed horrific crimes against our government….that is more serious, than ayers who is a now a professor.

YEAH YEAH HILLARY YEAH YEAH YEAH YOU WON BIG TIME

BRAVO ABC

Fairly put, it's the kettle calling the kettle black.

My observation is that Hillary is on the attack and Obama on the defense lately and during the debate. Once again, if you are taking the "kitchen sink" approach and throwing everything you can out there, occasionally something will boomerang. Don't be mad at Obama or the press on this one Hillary people. She threw the rock that is hitting herself. She needs to be more careful about the accusations she throws.

What goes around, comes around. Hillary is a ruthless and desparate politician. The American people are not stupid. That's why more than half don't trust her.

just saying

you are as delusional as your candidate is a treacherous hypocrite.

"Fair debate"? As "fair and balanced" as Faux Noise.

The personal attacks against Obama are having the exact opposite effect that the ClintRovian campaign had hoped for. Whenare they going to learn that they have torched their own campaign.

It makes as much sense as the failed policy in Iraq and how that has made us less safe.

Billary, please put your country and party before your own ego!

Sincerely,

Disgusted

If Hillary wins I'm going with McCain for president. There shouldn't be an issue with your campaign every week; especially if you are the one that instigates it. Also I'm a registered Republican but I'm willing to vote for Obama.

Obama 08

What really made me happy is

Please dear God people do some research! Obama went to a fundraiser at Ayers home 12 years ago!

Ayers donated $200 dollars to an Obama campaign! I have been arrested in my past and I have donated $400, should Obama give my money back or disown me as well? Jesus people!

Clinton knew about Ayers a year ago, how could you not, neo-nazi Hannity brings it up 30 seconds into everyone of his shows. She could never mention it because of her own connection to the pardoned members.

No one is clean in this world, no of us, but at least Obama doesn't owe favors to everyone from California to D.C. Obama is too good for this garbage and WE don't deserve HIM. Yes I really believe that.

This country is spinning down the drain towards hell.

I wonder what Bill Cinton got for pardoning those 2 ..hmmmmm..???

it's over hillary. when obama is getting hammered over the overblown 'clinging" remarks, and you still lose ground in the polls, it's time to do the right thing.

If people are going to look through every single person Obama ever knew to dig up dirt, this is definitely not off the table and I think Hillary should have responded to it. On policy issues, Hillary made it seem so easy… WRONG. Obama knows that it's a challenge and therefore had trouble explaining it all because, frankly, it's complicated! This is why Obama is the man for the job, he knows it's hard and he has answers that not ever layman can understand – this is a good thing people! Remember, he's the one that studied Constitutional Law!

What?

You can't forgive or pardon someone who recants and changes and feels remorse and regret- after 40 years.

But you can continue to attend a church whose preacher adheres to a doctrine of violence and hate- and will not himself change.

And you can justify doing that for 20 years.

And you can justify William Ayers comments after 9/11.

But you can not see the difference in forgiving a PAST trangression in those who have grown away from the hate. Just like your white grandmother moved away from the racial bias of a white rural woman of 40 years ago.

Hate of 40 years ago DOES NOT equal hate today.

It's her husband that pardon them not Hillary. Obama will do anything to distract attention from him. He actually was a board and friend with William Ayers. That's a big differenc between pardon and having a personal relationship with someone. Obama supporters are still drinking the dirty koolaid and next to snap out of it. Obama even flat out lied that he his writing wasn't on the gun control paper. Charles gibson had the proof right there. He even try disown his pastor last night to give the round around until George said "disown" and then he said I disown the comment. not the pastor. He keep saying Hillary is old politican and he's the new one. He's the same one and is a lot more dirty and it's so sad that the media has been giving him a free ride til last night.

Yeah right Danny…I also caught some episodes of HANNITY AND COLMES in which Hannity made this connection saying that Obama and Ayers gave speeches together and their kids played together.

First, proof of Obama and Ayers giving speeches together is based on an pamphlet listing the speakers at some event. Very flimsy!

Second, Obama's kids are 6 and 9 (girls). Ayers is the same age as Hillary and so his kids are 27 and 30 (boys). What exactly does play together mean? Seems stupid to me.

Some things just shouldn't be brought up…

Hillary is WRONG about her baggage, there are many first time voters (18 yrs olds) that know nothing about Hillary's baggage. They were in elementary school when the Clinton's were in office, knew nothing about politics. The more they find out, the more they hate her.

The people president Clinton pardoned went to jail and showed remorse. Obama’s friend did not have remorse and said he wanted to do more. Obama went out of his way to form a relationship with Ayers.

Bill April 17th, 2008 1:24 pm ET

It's her husband,stupid,not Hillary…Stop blaming her husband's screw ups on her….I don't blame our present president's screw ups,which are many, on his father.
____________________________________________________
she is running on her husbands record and she can not have it both ways. All the crap that happened in the 90's need to be aired
Right hillary?

Go Obama!

I think Obama himself pointed out that he shouldn't be held responsible for what 'someone ELSE' did. Shouldn't that logic apply to Hillary as well?

"To forgive is divine" is biased in their forgiving it seems

Everyone knows that the Clintons play dirty politics and they have a double standard in government.

It is Hillary Clinton who can't take the heat. Those asking the questions in last night's debate seemed to handle Clinton with kid gloves while attacking Obama on Rev Wright, "bitter", and William Ayers. It would have been much more beneficial to the public had the questions contained political issues only.

While the questions given Obama seemed to force him to somewhat defend himself at every corner, Hillary was asked one defensive question about the Bosnia Bombing (supposed)–and she skirted around that one. There was no mention of NAFTA and how she is $800,000 richer because of Bill's speaking engagements to NAFTA, or the Paul case, or the pardon of her brother or …should I continue?

Obama, keep up the grace and dignity.

Is Barack trying to change the subject? Barack had a problem with the truth in the debate last night. The question was not about what happened when he was 8-years-old. The question was about what happened when he was a grown man running for office. By the way, the question was about him, not about his spouse, so why is he asking about Senator Clinton's spouse?

Obama is in North Carolina right now trying to pretend that the problem was with the questions last night, not with his answers or lack of answers. The truth is that Senator Obama lacks substance and until that changes, he is never going to be presidential.

Gary, it's time to stick a fork in Hillary. She's done.

I will no longer send my monthly donation to Hillary. I don't want to throw it away. It is time for me to start supporting the respective nominee and start the process to get the White House back.

OH, Is BILL Clinton running?? I thought all this time it was Hillary???
If people can blame Hillary for what Bill did as president, then why can't they blame Obama for his Mentors speechs that he listen to for 20 years by choice and not because he was family.

I can truly say that the only fair question HRC got asked by George S. was: "Is Sen. Obama electable?" HRC's response was, "Yes, yes, yes!!" Despite the fact George S. and the Clintons fell out with each other long ago, I still felt it was a conflict of interest for him to be moderating this debate, as he was strictly biased, barring the one question I mentioned above, and his slip was definitely showing. There was no pretense of this debacle even being fair and balanced. Fair and balanced does not even denote Fox News, much less. ABC News. If crap were a flower, they would be a bouquet. I guess it shows if the media itself focuses on a flag pins versus people losing their jobs and homes, it clearly demonstrates that the press is elitist, out of touch, and they cling to non-issues, as they generate ratings over substantive issues. With HRC clearly and resoundingly admitting that Obama is electable, she effectively gutted her own central argument to the superdelegates. Obama held his own despite being gang-raped……

Obama '08 "We are what we have been waiting for."

The double standard here is STUNNING: why is Hillary responsible for what her husband did?? I am so outraged by the media bias in favor of Obama that completely ignores his significant weaknesses that I will be donning my McCain button as soon as the media and Democratic party drives Clinton out…I wonder what would happen if "typical white person" was uttered by anyone else and a different color was inserted??? 24/7 coverage with an outcry to drop out, that's what…it's all forgiveness and happy happy joy joy when Savior Barack says something, but if any other candidate slips even a little, it's doomsday…GET REAL

But why does it seems that Obama is more connected with this Weathergroud guy and other Anti-Americans like him and is trying to become President. Scary.

She looked as though she had a mouse up her sleeve all night…but I dont think she planned on getting bitten by it.

Too funny

Wonder who Bill has connections to in all his foreign romps. Bet he's been to a few choice parties. Wonder how much the Clintons are worth when you coun't their off-shore accounts-tax free? Where are those reports from the Clinton library? Be nice to see are the other pardons. By the way, Hillary, we do choose our husbands. Bill had an inappropriate-opportunistic relationship with an INTERN (abuse of authority). He was impeached for PURGERY and OBSTRUCTION OF JUSTICE!

Make up your mind Obama.

Who is running- Hill or Bill?

And don't Christians forgive and pardon the repentents?
If People change over 40 years- pardon is acceptable.

Rev Wright did not change his doctrine of hate and violence. And as a man of God- from the pulpit no less.

William Ayers did not change his doctrine of Anti-american violence and hatred. He made his comment after 9/11

BIG DIFFERENCE, Obama and pro-Obama media.

Please get the issue correct for once.

Hey Obamabots, facts are ugly things -

William Ayers was a founding member of the Weather Underground – The group was a violent anti war organization who’s charter was the overthrow of the United States government. They bombed the Pentagon, the US Capitol and a number of NY City police stations.

William Ayers own girlfriend and 2 other members of the group were killed by a bomb they were building to use against military recruiters at Fort Dix. The group also killed 2 police officers and a security guard during a botched bank robbery-the purpose of which was to gain funds to further their terrorist activities.

William Ayers has never renounced his actions and to this day defends them and laments that the group had not done more. Look it up.

Obama knew exactly who this man was and yet chose to nurture a personal and professional relationship with him. I’m sorry Quent my friend, but someone aspiring to the Presidency of the US does not do that.

As for Obama comparison of his relationship to Ayers and Bill Clinton’s pardoning of two of the groups members – it is absurd to equate the two – firsat of all Bill Clinton pardoned them, not Hillary – and second – the two women pardoned served nearly 2 decades in prison, renounced their past activities and swore an allegiance to the US to gain the pardon – a far cry from what Ayers has done.

Of course now everyone is saying don't blame Hillary for what Bill has done or said, but funny how when someone Obama knows does or says something, he's to blame and shame on him for not distancing himself. Well, maybe Hillary should've distanced herself from Bill back in the Monica phase.

DOUBLE STANDARDS – TYPICAL AMERICAN RESPONSE

Obama should not have to answer for what Rev Wright has said or anyone else. He's his own person. There are plenty of white people who hang out with opening racists white people and yet they claim they're not racist. Should they too distance themselves from their friends?

Come on people. Stop being so stupid.

I always knew most white people were narrow-minded and stupid, now it's solidified.

hmmm, another hyprocritical move by Obama. He is as I write this campaigning in NC saying he will not play the same old politics game of bashing the competition but that's exactly what he did by bringing this up last night. However, just because they are married does not mean that Hillary had anything to do with or that she agrees with what her husband Bill did. Obama is saying the same old politics games will not be played when he is president but make no mistake, 1 man in the White House is not going to change how 100's of other politicians get this done. If he thinks he's gonna teach old dogs new tricks he is sorely mistaken and has his supporters believing just that. Wake up America!!! Obama = hypocrite and you will see more of this as the months go by.

Kim -

Kim Kim Kim… seriously? 911 was in SEPTEMBER of 2001… they were pardoned in JANUARY of 2001… an EX-president can't pardon anyone. They were pardoned before 911… you knew that.

Who is Ayers and WHO CARES ! Anything coming out of Fox News and Hannity, please. Can we get back to REAL issues, like the war, the economy, Stupid !

I am so glad to see this blow back on her face! However, I can’t believe the poor job ABC did with the questioning. I thought a debate was suppose to be about the issues (Iraq, the economy, the housing crisis, education, etc.).

why is it that we do not see or hear anything in the news, about obama and rezcos involement together. obama has staff in court listening to the testafying of rezco and others incase he is brought up. the chicago sun times has more coverage than the news station.

Give me some evidence that shows that Clinton won. I would call it a tie at best. Pouncing on a candidate to make a point when she has enough experience to get her message through without negatives smells of desparation.

She had some good comments on a couple issues, her Iraq policy won't fly, her cut-taxes won't fly.

She kept telling the superdelegates that Obama is not electable. Now she has no way to influence superdelegates since she said in front of millions that Obama IS electable. It will be interesting to see what her next strategy will be. After she explains to her campaign manager what she feels about her husband pardoning two Weather Underground members.

Why isn't anyone talking about how horrible ABC handled a very important debate. They turned it into a gossip debate more than an issues debate. People complain CNN is one sided… please ABC didn't even give Obama a chance. Considering the tone of the debate, I think Obama did a good job of putting Hillary in her place. If she wants to play dirty than at least stop complaining when he he calls her out for her obvious lies and convenient politics.

I don't plan on voting for either of them, but that was the worst display of a debate that I have ever seen.

Hillary you blew your chance to kiss and make up with your cohort/fellow democrat partner Barack Obama on last night debate. Now you are going to lose miserably. Your superdelegate supporters are leaving your campaign for Obama; he's getting more endorsements now than ever before.

Hillary, you are a confuse now than ever before. It's time to through in the towel. Don't make your withdrawal harder than it has to be. Please bow out graceful and be supportive for your party. But if you insits on be defiant and divisive….you will be humilating yourself along with your family and friends. Please just to the right thing and quit after the Pennsylvania primaries. CNN please post my comments

She was visibly angry last night during the debate with Obama. When asked if she thought Obama could win, all she could muscle was "yes, yes, yes." This is almost the equivalent of seeing the wicked witch in the Wizard of Oz melting into a pile of steam squealing "I'm melting, melting." Buh-bye Hillary!

This is all you have to report on the debate last night? SOOOOO much more went down! Good points were made from both sides. Obama had questions to answer. He also set aside his "rise above" approach and threw a few punches himself. Let's face it, politics are politics. Obama is not an exception to the rule. The article is extremely biased. CNN obviously favors Obama as I have watched this ticker for weeks now. Let's see some un-spun reports and stick to the facts!

We all know that before this is over with Obama will have alot more fall outs. That is why Hillary is staying in because DEMS will need her to win in the fall when OBAMA is finally brought out into the light. How many BIGOTS / RACIST / ANTI-AMERICANS does he have to befriend before some people wake up. I say some people because they are people who can see all this be dont care because they want him, some along racial lines, others because they just got caught up in him. (People got caught up in Jim Jones, David Karesh and a few other crack pots that they killed themselves for).

CNN – Are you trying to strike back because Obama bombed last night? You have lost your credibility! Good for ABC for having the determination to ask questions that the Republicans are more than prepared to ask. Obama looked absolutely lost. He needs to step down and he should have a long time ago. He doesn't have what it takes to lead out nation period!

Hillary did not Pardon anyone!!!!! Hillary is the one running for President. She answered all the questions asked very strongly and shows alot strength and capablity to lead this country.

Obama stubbled clumsily over questions and his affiliations with people who wanted to do more attacks on New York is quite frankly anti-american. What is wrong with wearing a flag pin?

He already addressed it so why bring it back up

She is making herself look very dumb. If she wants to win Pennsylvania, she should highlight whats good about her and her platform instead of doing this

Because all in all, Obama has gained 4 superdelegates….Thanks Hillary

Endorsements from the Steelers owner and 2 additional newspapers

And an endorsement from the "Boss"

She is giving my candidate Ammo on such a silly subject. He was 8 years old when the dude was doing all of that….Who really cares?

I want to know when these gas prices are going to go down. When is this food going to be affordable. I want to know about ISSUES, not BS

Hillary would say ANYTHING just to get into the Whitehouse.

This is her stand on her husband.

Oh, I disagreed on everything that Bill did wrong but I agreed on everything he did right. Can I say that and get away with it?

Too funny. Hillary is the DEM FLIP FLOPPER

Come on ABC—

Stephanopoulos ambushed Obama with the Ayers question–
notice Hillary was ready to respond, as she was with most the questions last night–sure seemed like George gave his old boss–Clinton the heads up on the questions–Hillary had a smile and a clear answer for everything–unlike the last 21 debates—so something was clearly different—it was Stephanopoulos—he is cahoots with the Clintons—

Clearly a former aide to the Clinton White House
SHOULD NOT OF BEEN A MODERATOR—-

Shame on you ABC…this wasnt a debate…this was a Obama ambush…….
PS Why didnt Charlie ask Hillary where her flag pin was???????

Tuesday, April 22… i'll be pulling the lever for Hillary….

the Republicans will trample BarackyBoy.

They're not going to post comments about her outshining him on the debate because the debate was ridiculously biased! She looked like a fool and her answers were so rehearsed. That is why. Maybe if the questions were evenly asked, for example, Hilary was also asked about her huge Gaffes this week-NAFTA, Colombian Trade Agreement, Mark Penn, and Obama was able to answer his questions without being cut off over and over again, then yes I wouldn't have said it was biased. But they spent the first 45 minutes interrogating Obama and she just gloated in that. She has not been fully vetted that's what boggles me. She has a lot of stuff hidden in her closet and believe me you need to be thankful that Obama isn't throwing all that stuff in her face. Just because Obama doesn't bring up her drama doesn't mean it's not there. Also the Peter Paul trial is coming up and she still hasn't been fully vetted on that!

Obama has a way of deflecting his baggage – should give everyone an idea that he will not take responsibility for his mistakes and flat our wrong positions. He is a disgrace and inflates his community organizing accomplishments. Hillary showed once again that she is far more aware and informed of the current events and issues that face us.
Once again, no matter what Hillary says, I will not vote for Obama if he gets the nod as I respect both Hillary and McCain and I have no problem voting for upstanding citezens with proven accomplishments.

SHAME ON CNN

Everyone has been asking about Bill Ayers and the only time you post something about his relationship with Obama you turn it around and bring Hillary down with you post.

SHAME on CNN
I want to KNOW what friendly relationship Ayers has with Obama. Hillary has no relationship. I AM PIST AT CNN!!!!!!

What I took away from this part of the debate is that (a) Little Lord Fauntleroy lacks HRC's ability to take a punch, and (b) Obama was disingenuous in characterizing his relationship with Ayres as entirely casual.

Press releases answering the charges, after the fact,……. on the next day? Is this how he will conduct foreign policy, with a, 'we'll get back to you"? You either 'got it' now or you don't 'got it'. There are no do-overs when you are sitting across the table from the allies, the enemies or the lukewarm. I believe that Obama has no real interest in foreign policy, is a pacifist, and only wants to be a hero on domestic policy. Wouldn't it be nice if we lived in a world where foreign policy could be ignored? We haven't lived there for decades.

Yes, Hillary's attacks keep coming back to bite her which is why she should cease engaging in them. Same Old politics gets you the same result: Negative ratings going sky high.

Get a clue Clinton camp, it is soooo over! You ran on the wrong platform as the experienced candidate, you ignored the Obama camp thinking it was a fairy tale (as old Bill stated) and now you are going to lose. Maybe the Clinton's will learn something this time.

When will people realize that Larry Sinclair is a liar, proven by two different lie detector tests. There is a reason no one is covering that story. THERE IS NO STORY!

Clintons career is over. J Thanks for the truth! Everday I hear more bull, I wander if Democrats have any sense. Hillary needs to go now. Not April 23, not May 7, not June 3rd, not in Denver, but right now. She lost . Suck it up. Better luck next time!

"The Clintons pardoning"?? That was BILL Clinton, not HILLARY. Last time I checked, the first lady didn't have the authority to pardon.

Good grief – you Obamabots will cling to anything to make Hillary look bad!

Golden boy had a bad night, so you're grasping!

GO HILLARY! GIVE 'EM HILL!!

"Is it because ABC did what you were unwilling to do- put on a fair debate on topics and positions?"

Are you serious 'Just saying' Fair debate? The first 50 minutes were nothing but attacks on Obama, no REAL issues. Hillary will do nothing to help bring this country together, just keep us divided. Wake up Hillary supporters your being duped!

Obama '08!!

Did you hear that Harry Thomas Jr., initially a supporter of Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton, is announcing in minutes that he will cast his vote at the Democratic National Convention in Denver for Sen. Barack Obama.

Cnn, of course you won't post this.

The votes are in. Charlie and George are the worst debate moderators. With a field that includes Ms. Brown of CNN that is some feat! The American news media is a disgrace.

Hillary, Billary, Bubba YOU ARE TOAST! You both are lying, conving, cheating, arrogant, elitist, scum! Go home and get your ugly daughter married off.

Have you people read the comments by Ayer? They were printed on 9/11 but were said days before the attacks.

Why does the Obama campaign keep insisting that Bill is the candidate?

Can't Obama hold up against the real candidate.

Hillary Clinton is the candidate.

Why does he keep attacking Hillary on someone elses's record.

She is her own person.

Plus the past sins can be forgiven after the person changes their way. Ayers is still peddling his anti- American hate. As is Rev Wright. That is the present. They have not changed.

THAT IS THE DISTINCTION FOLKS.

Now that the flood gate is finally opening, to anyone who wishes to learn who else Bill Clinton pardoned – like Hillary Clinton's law partners who were convicted in the Whitewater Scandal – simply go on Google and search "Clinton Scandals"

As an Hillary supporter, I realized that she is doing and saying anything to win the nomination. She refuses to stick to the issues. She's throwing the kitchen sink left and right. Well, I guess that one fell on her toe. It's time to come together to defeat McSane!

Lt Chicago governor's office, says that he does seem to remember Obama being at the party to honor Nadhmi Auchi! Now for those who don't know who he is…..A billionaire side kick of Saddam, who helped Saddam kill the leader who served before him……..another witness says not only was Obama at the party but he toasted Auchi a few times!

I hope she dosent get "bitter" about the Karma that's about to grace her doorstep!

Obama 08

CNN do your job.
Obama got pwned last night. Let me get this straight. Im 8 when a domestic terrorist bombs buildings and people in the U.S.A. Now im in my late fourties and being fully aware of this and Ayers wishing he should have bombed more and killed more and am now still hanging with him. Which in turn gives him some legitamacy. How about a U.S. Senator not hang with this dude in the first place. Take off the tinfoil caps obamabots the information is being blocked.

Speaking of Hillary has anyone read her SCREW THEM COMMENT from 1994????? That in my opinoin makes the bitter comment seem like nohting

mary: Rodham is NOT her middle name. It is her maiden name, and she choses to go by Hillary Rodham Clinton. Her full name is Hillary Diane Rodham Clinton. Not to mention, Rodham isn't even mentioned in this article.

Poor BO supporters are deranged and vicious, we do not like any of you or your cult leader, you spew hate all day every day. Shame on all of you! Obama is weak he will lose the WH for the Dem's. He can not win the GE, ever, I do not care what anyone says, he is a loser!

I think i make a better president…………Hillary….i love u but it is time to move on with the party. u tried ur best and we real appreciate you.

Viva Obama!

The weather underground never killed anyone. Their only casualites were three of their own members.

Hillary mispoke again!

LOOK WHAT NEWS PAPER SUPPORT OBAMA IN PA TODAY ??

I thought the debate was good,they both got asked some hard questions's ,it was better then to see CNN's own Campbell Brown basiclly slobber over obama,everything pro equal oppurtunity is anti obama,thats the problem with the media the need stop attacking & letting the other sitt back with thier pillow?

People are questioning Obama's patriotism, but why isn't anyone questioning Bill Clinton's patriotism? Bill Clinton burned an American flag while he attended Oxford University in England. Moreover, Bush and Cheney are draft dodgers, but no one is questioning their patriotism. Oh that's right, they wear an American flag in thier lapel, so that gives them carte blanche to screw over America, lie to Congress and start a fame war.

Bill, you can't make a distinction between her and her husband because she keeps pointing to the "Clinton Years". You can't take credit for how good things were with Bill, and how it will be the same under her, yet say forget the pardons and nafta. She can't have it both ways.

HERE WE GO WITH THE O.B. SUPPORTERS AND CLINTON HATERS. I THAUGHT THE DEBATE SHOWED MORE ON HER ISSUES AND PLANS THAN O.B. O.B. SEEMED TO AGREE AND COPY HER AGAIN.HRC TALKED ALOT MORE KNOWLEDGABLE. HRC ATLEAST SAID SHE WOULD SUPPORT O.B. IF HE WON. O.B. DIDNT REPEAT THE SAME. THAT SHOWS ME THAT HRC WANTS TO HELP THE PEOPLE IN OUR COUNTRY LIKE SHE ALWAYS HAD. O.B. JUST CARES ABOUT HIMSELF AND MAKING HISTORY. SO KEEP HATING YOU HATERS.ITS YOU HATERS THAT MADE THIS RACE UN INTERESTING. THE MORTALITY OF YOU YOUNG SHOW WITH EACH BASH YOU DO TO THE CLINTONS. YOU ALL NEED TO GROW UP BEFORE YOU VOTE. YOU DONT VOTE FOR A CANIDATE YOU KNOW NOTHING ABOUT. WAKE UP BEFORE ITS TO LATE.

LOOK WHAT NEWS PAPER SUPPORT OBAMA IN PA TODAY ??

Interesting photo for this piece… Is Hillary going beyond the kitchen sink, guns and bowling to challenge Obama to a booger contest?

Maybe the Weather Underground had some good ideas. Just thinking of how it's nearly impossible to find one Government program that has produced anything that has helped our country reach the level that we believe we're capable of doing should tell us how we're on the wrong track. Countries that our Military bombed to smithereens now have a better economy, educational system and even health care for everyone.
Sometimes you have to wonder just where in the heck are we going.

HERE WE GO WITH THE O.B. SUPPORTERS AND CLINTON HATERS. I THAUGHT THE DEBATE SHOWED MORE ON HER ISSUES AND PLANS THAN O.B. O.B. SEEMED TO AGREE AND COPY HER AGAIN.HRC TALKED ALOT MORE KNOWLEDGABLE.

Why was this tabloid "debate" ever aired? ABC has hit the gutters.

I thought both candidates did well. I do feel that ABC left out important issues like. Federal spending, Home forclosures, NAFTA changes, Climate Control. I also wanted to know about Employment Rates and the Struggling Economy. Let us not forget about our weak Dollar. If it serves me correct…..How did this debate help me on the issues.

I am a little frustrated that I had a TMZ, or National Enquirer Debate last night. I hope the next debate can be about the topics and not about Hillary and Baracks tiffs with one another and who said what debate.

Wow, I'm not really sure of what I was watching last night. It was the worst debate I have ever watch, The two maderators should be out of television for conducting a stupid thing like that. A debate should be about issues not about personal attacks. she lost my vote after the bosnia story and after she helped the moderators last night if she win the nomination I will not vote for her. What is she thinking? She's a two face person. We don't need someone like that to be our president. We deserve better than Hillary Rhodam Clinton

Hillary could have stayed quiet when the question was raised like Obama did about the sniper fire. She is the one that interjected how it would be an issue in the general election. CNN reported that the questions were asked to Obama last night. CNN reported that someone asked her the question this morning. Where is the bias.

Hillary had alot of help from the moderators. Everyone knows that. But Barack responded with the truth. The media takes a phrase and "beats it to death" period

ANY ONE OF YOU that are still for Hillary, haven't lived thru losing
jobs, fearing job loss, or haven't paid enough attention to what the
job loses have cost our American People. And some "bitterness"
along the way.

You know, some people are bashing Obama for how he handled last night's debate. But put yourself in his shoes. You go to debate, expecting to talk about your policies, what your gonna do as President etc, etc. But when you show up, its a 3 ring circus, and the spot lights all on you to answer questions, that really, most of the public doesn't care about. Whether people are bitter or not, or whether Barak knows JWright does not put food on the table.

Hillary attacked Barack every chance she got. Her one "hard" question on Bosnia, Barak chose not to attack her on it, although he could of.

Why didn't the moderators put her under fire? Was it cuz they know she'll laugh off the question, as done before? or is it because they are prepping the one they think is going to win.

About Ayers, so, how many people's names would come up with the Clintons? She opened the door, wanted him to answer. Respectfully, she should do the same.

female grad student NYC: Yes, that logic should apply. Which is why it's perplexing that Hillary would attack on issues that Obama is not responsible for. You're obviously educated, so please explain to me why it's ok for Hillary to use these sorts of attacks, but when Obama defends himself by pointing out that she's not clean either, it's considered him being hypocritical. Either the attack is fair or it's not. Either way, Hillary loses.

Hillary is blatantly campaigning for superdelegates to override the popular and state vote! Do the math, she is too far behind and will not win the nomination. All we are doing now is fueling the republicans.

CONCEDE THE LOSS so we can reconcile and move forward

To Middle-aged American:

I'm so glad someone else was watching the same debate that I was. Obama was asked 4 'current affair' controversy questions (Wright, Ayers, "Bittergate", Flag-pin) but Hillary got 1 and the weakest of them all (Bosnia). Where were those questions about Penn and Dubai??? They could've asked her either of those… but nope… they had to make room for the flag-pin question!!!!

HILLIARY IS THE ONE THAT IS NOT ELECTABLE BECAUSE WHAT MCCAIN AND COMPANY WILL PULL OUT OF HER BAG THAT SHE CLAMIS PEOPLE HAVE BEEN RUMBLING THROUGH FOR YEARS WILL BE EXTREMELY DAMAGING TO HER AND MCCAIN WILL SURELY WIN. THE SUPERDELEGATES BETTER WAKE UP AND SMELL THE COFFEE AND END THIS DEMOCRATIC RACE ON A SEMI DESCENT NOTE.

SHIRLEY, OHIO

Ask Obama about Larry SInclair. He wouldn't politically survive that question. OH YEAH, that's why you haven't asked, isn't it?

There you go Billary….you want to jab, but you don't like getting jabbed.

The debate last night was a joke we all know that no matter whom you support. Obama did however try to keep steering things toward real issues not tabloid gossip! She on the other hand was negative condescending and nasty all the way through I do not think it helped her out at all now this on top of it and why are these Hillary supporters so concerned with a trail about that Obama might have been at a party or not? how about the case against both Hillary and Bill right now in California they are being sued for Fraud and have already lost the case on 2 separate appeals. the next court date will be april 25 notice it is few days after the Penn votes. I mean why is she doing this there is no logical reason she can not win the nomination and certainly not the GE. In fact some are wondering if she will even be able to hold on to her Senate seat!

Go Obama 08

Hillary didn't pardon anyone……nor did she party with the terrorist! ………….., when Ayers the terrorist was brought up………. “He's not somebody who I exchange ideas from on a regular basis,” ………Does that mean he only exchanges ideas with the terrorist Occasionally?

Hillarity, your husband's affairs; his business dealings with the Columbians; his pardons of corrupt business people who covered up his own criminal violations; your lies about NAFTA, Bosnia; your failures on health care on the Iraq war…yessirree, we are worried about Williarm Ayers. What BS. And it describes your failing campaign. You won't win dogcatcher after this.

whooohooo my comments are waiting moderation….I have been writing here for 6 months and they still say it….at least I don't use racial slurs like some of these supporters do….

Why is called a debate instead of "Obama INTERROGATION".

Bill Clinton pardoned most criminals than any other president. What's that telling you?

Who cares…both of them are in some way negatively connected with Weather Underground folks….

Obama's connection seems way more fishy though…

Weather underground Pardons from Bill Clinton. Well, another
new scandal for the Clintons. Well, I was beginning to believe
we had all the dirt. and 16 FALN Terrorist sympathizers that Bill
Pardoned. Oh, well, normally I think enough of this "bitter" stuff
but since she dishes it out, let's get some good reporting on this.
So, may she will shut her big mouth!

Future debates by Presidential candidates – forget it!
A TOTAL WASTE OF TIME!
Too much fighting and not enough addressing important issues.

Let Hillary get a taste of her own medicine.

Use the middle finger Hillary. Quite tired of your lies lies lies.

I see you through your lense.

Bill=money

Hillary chase power.

What a shame. Time to end these dynasties!

The Pennsylvania primary has truly allowed people to be able to see Hillarys transparency, during the ABC debate in Philadelphia on Wednesday night. Hillary said "she maybe a lot of things, but she is not dum". I believe that statement is very true, but boy is she bitter. I have news for Hillary the American people arent dum either. The American people are very smart, and again they see her transparency. They see she is behind in the delegate count, and the popular vote, so America is aware that Hillary has nothing left but to pull out her millitary kitchen sink tactics, and pray that something will stick to senator Obama. But these tactics wont work, because the American people have waken up and realize its Hillary who is bitter. The truth is 15 months ago Hillary thought she was going to walk into this job as the presumptive candidate, and when Obama started taking away states, pledge delegates, popular votes, and the super delegates, the so called nice Hillary disappeared. Hillary has put on her boxing gloves and gone for the jugular. Remember when Hillary said the comment in 1992 " what do you expect me in the kitchen baking cookies"? The obvious answer is no Hillary, of course not! But we all expect of Hillary for you to stop your kitchen tactics. Obama said in the Philadelphia debate he understood her momentary slip, when she made her comment in 1992 about the cookies incident, which insulted so many people. So this Hillary type of campaigning is very sad, where she tries to spin a sound bite about Obama saying the word "bitter". Its sad when the truth is again that its Hillary who is bitter. I wish she would have the conviction to admit it because the American people know it to be so. Its to bad that Wednesday was one of the last debates on the calendar, because the question that should have been put to Hillary Clinton was "Hillary when your Husband had the affair with Monica Lewinsky during his time in office, when you were the first lady, were you bitter"? It makes one wonder if Hilary has been harbouring bitterness for years. I guess Hillary deserves that shot of whisky after all, shes been through a lot. If anyone ever runs into Hillary at a bar, buy her a round of beers. Yah she deserves it!

Thats what she get!

If my co-worker and neighbor went to jail for a crime, does that make me a criminal? Of course not. His views differ from mine, and while I might get along with him, heck I might even be a friend to him, it doesn't mean his views and ideas would alter mine or effect me in any way.

Just because you know someone doesn't mean they effect your views, beliefs, or agendas. If you believe that, you are only fooling yourself.

This is a riot. She's so uninformed and ill prepared it hurts.

This concept of a "Presidential pardoning" is unreal to me. I truly don't understand why it still exists…

ABC did a horrific job. No questions of substance were asked. They turned to Sean Hannity of FOX fame (with the Clinton Camp's blessing) for help in composing the ridiculous questions they managed to come up with. Shame on ABC and George Stephanopoulis (he met with Hannity and actually took notes about the Ayers question).

The debate was an insult to thinking people every where, and a terrible waste of precious time, when real issues of economy, global warming, health care, the war, etc. could have been vetted.

Kris-

Tell us more………

Just like cnn to try and do damage control and deflect this news onto clinton. Well hillary could not pardon anyone and what bill did is no making on hillary. But obama did not answer the question and tried to avoid it all together. Just like bush would do spin and spin . The fact is that he dose have these personal ties to radicals and holds the views that our country is a bad country. He is a dangerius man and the sooner people wake up and see it the better off we will be for it. The media is the real blame here how noone will go after him for fear of being called a racist net work. The media sold us the bill of goods on the war the same way there credability is shot.

Talk:Bill Ayers
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

When the senator and the unrepentant bomber served together on the Woods Fund board, the Fund awarded $6,000 to Jeremiah Wright's Trinity United Church "in recognition of Barack Obama's contributions of Woods Fund as a director." Later the Obama-Ayers board awarded a generous grant to the Arab-American Action Network. It's entirely possible that Barack Obama missed the board meetings when such awards were made. He says he missed Jeremiah Wright's incendiary sermons, too. The man has a gift for avoiding the wrong place at the right time.

TO ENOMISA: Ayers' comments were not after 9/11. Factcheck it.

The Democrats just dropped a grenade into their own tent.

Bye Bye both Barak and Clinton.

How can we even think of electing either of these two.

I saw fox new show about William Ayers and Obama connection if true
that mean your guy vote for Obama for the wrong person. I think should
be true connection and I love CNN to show about that before too late.
Anyway Obama not going to win John McCain in general election or if he
win nominee I going to vote for John McCain because his is not the guy
you think about going to President of the United States. For sure he not
going to stand for Americans.

Hillary or McCain 08 President only.

NO HOPE NO CHANGE BHO.

All the weapons the RNC (which it seems Senator Clinton wants to return to) will not prosper Senator Obama. Keep your head up. We need you!

Obama '08

The two individuals that were pardoned did their time and they did not make statements after 911 that they should have done more, there is a difference, this man never did any time and he made these statements after 911, why did the MSM not ask Obama about Ayers until ABC had the guts to do it, now they want to try and flip it as a Clinton Issue, Bill Clinton Pardoned them he was the President not Hillary Clinton, you can't have it both ways either she was an intricate part of the Administration or she was not, if she is going to take the bad, then she needs to get credit for the good also, which is it Obamabots and CNN which direction do you wanna go in, a pardon is not a friendship, when is Ayers going to do his time?

They just wanted to air that in Pa then bring this up when they gotcha came to their side. What a shame. Thank you ABC for the Hit job!

Obama is now stronger today than he was yesterday. He epitomizes hope and what is good for the World.

Shame on Hillary supporters for being like Paultards, get over it. Your candidate is done.

The point being, that Obama's connection with Ayers is more than just tenuous. They were more than just neighbors or someone who he happened to just know. Yet, that's exactly what he told the nation last night at the debate.

Which is worse:

Sen. Obama sat on the board of a charity with a former member of the Weather Underground

OR

The Clintons PARDONED two former members of the Weather Underground. In 1985, they were apprehended while transporting 740 pounds of explosives which they both acknowledged were slated for use in additional bombings. Rosenberg was sentenced to 58 years in prison, Evans 40; President Bill Clinton pardoned both women in January 2001.

Hillary; OPEN MOUTH, INSERT FOOT AND CHEW!!!!

Boycott ABC…..

How come articles use Hillary's middle name and NEVER Obama's???

Thanks Hillary you just let the right wing off the hook. They are going to blame fellow democrats about their ignorance.

I'm sorry but as a democrat I am sad. I am a black man that has been struggling to let other blacks know that you are a decent person. And we should always support both candidates. My phone has been ringing off the hook with the many "I told you so comments". I feel really stupid right now.

Your campaign continues to turn off the black community. Are you doing this on purpose?

And as far as the moderators asking questions of Obama. I don't have a problem with that…it's a debate. And those were questions that I wanted answered as well. But I thought as a moderators they are to remain neutral. Meaning they ask the questions and let the two debators argure their points. Both of the moderators seemed to be doing more interviewing than moderating. And sometimes combatative in doing so….maybe it just me but it seemed that Obama had to debate three people instead of one.

Also why is a former Clinton aide one of the moderators?

ABC journalists need to learn from CNN and MSNBC journalist. Was that really a debate last night?

Hillary really can't run a campaign at all. She doesn't think before she speaks or jumps on a bandwagon. What she doesn't realize is that when she goes negative more and more of Obama's supporters donate.

Fools for Hillary…when her and Bubba started their quest for power, they didn't realize they would only get in their own way…'you can't hide those deceiving eyes'

AZM,

That is quite the stretch from I worked on a board with Ayers to I am a militant, but then love is blind. Sooner rather than later you will realize that Hillary doesn't love you back, she is just using you.

Dredge up the past- that no longer applies.

To cover up the Obama present that is still going on.

Ayers made his comments of violence and hate in recent time.
Rev Wright held to his doctrine of hate for 40 years.

Clinton pardoned those who no longer held their former beliefs.
To forgive a repentant person is American and Christian.

To preach hate from the pulpit in neither.

That's what she gets. If anyone watched the debate, they should have seen her trying to fish those questions out after Obama answered them. She claimed Republicans would bring them up… no… HILLARY was trying to bring them up. Now she's in trouble when all he had to do was keep her hands out of the dirt and let the moderators do it for her. SHE WAS GOLDEN, BUT NO! SHE BLEW IT! So while Obama was taking on the media for blowing these things out of proportion, he took a side-swipe from Hillary and lashed back. Now she's looking suspicious.

Where does she stand on the pardons? I don't know… but what about FALN? Where does she stand on those pardons? How about the 2 cases of pardonings that Hillary's brothers were lobbying for and gained a significant compensation ($107,000 for Tony, $200,000 for Hugh)?

Birds of a feather hang together.

Sure, but why aren't you reporting that Ayers and his wife hosted a fundraiser at their home for Barack Obama when he was running for state senate? Or how while serving together on the board of the Wood Fund, they donated $75,000 to Rashid Khalid, who is an open supporter of the PLO and has called on for "resistance" against Israel?

When Clinton made the Bosnia gaffe, she apologized for it.

When Obama made the bitter gaffe, he blamed us for misinterpreting his remarks. When he performed badly in the PA debate, his supporters blame ABC and the moderators. When the Wright videos came out, he wasn't in the church pew during those sermons. When asked about the Gun Regulation survey, he didn't fill the paper out and sign it. When asked about Ayers, he said he didn't know the man 40 years when he performed his crimes.

If Hillary had stuck to the issues of this country instead of going negative she would have had a better chance.People are finding out daily how much baggage she and her husband are carrying around.
I will miss the pathetic excuses that some of the Clinton supporters use when she finally goes down,won't be long now.

Just an example of not managing her campaign properly. She should have known that this issue would come back to her if she raised it. This is just sloppy research on her and her team's part and goes back to what I have said before… "What about the pardons?"

The country is going to hell in a handcart and THIS is what the media ask?

She deserves it. She thinks that she has been vetted for 36 years, nevertheless, her husband refusses to disclose the donors to his Presidential Liabrary, and she refusses to release the names of which institution or individuals received all the $300M and some of her barrel pork allocations for his contituents, during her peirod in the Senet. EXTRANGE. NOT AT ALL. DANGEROUS, YOU BET!!!!!!

…and another super delegate for Obama! Yes We Can!

LOL, Bill is such an albatross!

hahahaahhahahahahha!

When are the not so super delegates going to get off the dime and start representing Obama's triple digit lead among the public.

This stuff would end NOW and we could get on with the deposing of the current administration and addressing the real issues!

just saying poster is a moron.

"ABC did what you (CNN) were unwilling to do- put on a fair debate on topics and positions?"

was your reception bad? More than half the debate was not about any pertinent issues, rather it was heavily focused on stupid things like lapel pins and things that people said one time, a long time ago. Come on. Open your crusted eyes.

Are those pardoned men still hating?

Are they still fomenting hate and division?

Are they still preaching violence and hate?

Willaim Ayers is.

Rev Wright is.

The past is past.
the present is NOW

Thats a major problem when you do a "Kitchen Sink" attack and start throwing everything you have at an opponent. You run the risk of tossing one of your own skeletons out there for everyone to see.

AWETWHTE( Anyone Willing to End The War and Help The Economy), 08

How come last night when Wolfson was saying Obama wouldn't or couldn't answer most of the questions, you as her campaign manager can't answer this one…"I'll have to check?" Come on!! You looked totally stupid in the interview afterwards but guess what, you didn't answer any of the questions Keith Olberman threw at you…you two faced liar!!!! Senator Casey …. a man of substance…Howard Wolfson…a "WOLF" in sheeps clothing….(as pertaining to the Keith Olbermans' interview last night)

Doesn't she get it? She has more dirt than anybody else. Everytime she throws dirt at someone else, it comes back at her. Why? She has a pile load of dirt in her house.

Notice how she refused to comment after that statement. What a phony.

Good Luck Hillary. This should be the end of you. Get Out !!!

Irrelevant? Let's see $200 donation in 1996 vs a pardon. Barack was 8 years old when Ayers was busy. To bad she open that door vs doing the right thing and saying that the question was BS. That would have showed guts and leadership. You notice Obama did not pile on on the sniper question

Follow the pardons…

There's plenty more where those two came from.

IT AMAZES ME HOW THIS NETWORK CAN'T SAY 1 GOOD THING ABOUT CLINTON. SHE DID WONDERFUL LAST NIGHT AND UNDER PRESSURE OBAMA DID NOT. IF HE CAN'T TAKE THE KITCHEN SINK IN THE PRIMARY THEN HOW IS HE GOING TO TAKE THE WHOLE HOUSE OF THE REP. THROWING THINGS AT HIM. SHE SHOWED LAST NIGHT SHE IS THE STRONGEST AND THE ONE CANDIDATE THAT WE HAVE THAT WON'T JUST SAY YOU WON. SHE WILL FIGHT FOR US.GO HILLARY YOU ARE AWESOME.

I take it she "forgot" about the pardoning just like everything else she's conveniently forgotten or lied about. I'm glad it came back to bite her on the backside.

To pardon someone who is no longer aligned with the former horrible behaviors is okay.

The problem is IF people, 40 years later, are still preaching violence and hatred against fellow Americans- as William Ayers did after 9/11, and as Rev Wright continued to do 40 years after Jim Crow- that is what is NOT acceptable.

Obama forgives those still hating today.
Clintons forgive those who moved away from hate and violence.

Obama's white granny moved away from her racial bias of 40 years ago. But a man of God- Wright- could and would not. He continued to preach it. William Ayers continued to preach violence against Americans also.

NOT THE SAME THING, OBAMA AND PRO-OBAMA MEDIA

Every time Clinton tries to throw a sticky bomb at Obama the stink ends up all over her face. She needs to step aside and get out of the race.

Honestly, I am tired of the politics of yesterday. A new generation is taking over America, and we care about issues, not point scoring. The Weathermen, while a significant piece of history, was only something we read about in textbooks. And the connection she is trying to make doesn't work with us. Its tenuous at best.

We filter thousands of pieces of data a day, and if any politician thinks we take what they say at face value without our own investigating, they need to wake up.

This wasnt a debate it was a tabloid debacle and ABC should be discusted in themselves. Charles and George spent 50 minutes asking about nothing. It was a one way mudslinging fest which if thats what they were after the questions should have been fair for both. Clinton was never asked many questions I want answered such as why Mark Penn is still with her campaign. What about the Peter Paul trial which is scheduled in Nov. What about the contradictions of NAFTA and CAFTA. What about the 800,000 her husband recieved and the conflict there. What about the missing transcripts from the whitehouse. What about the donors to the Clinton Foundation. I could go on and on.

The DNC needs to end this now as if I was unsure before I am certain now that Hillary Clinton will NEVER get my vote.
Obama or nothing… If I wasnt BITTER before I am now… Tabloid reporting at its finest c/o ABC which I will now boycott. A written apology for not addressing real issues such as more on the housing issues healthcare the economy ect. anything would have been better than what the american people received..

Obama 08

Cut off her nose to spite her face?????

Keep destroying Obama, and you destroy the Democrat's chances of winning the general election!!!!

YOU AND YOUR HUSBAND HAVE TOO MANY SKELETONS!!!!!!

DROP OUT NOW BEFORE MCCAIN IS SWORN IN AS PRESIDENT!!!

Isn't it funny that anytime the Clinton campaign swings mud at Obama it comes back to hurt the clintons and they start scrabbling the next perfect lie to tell the American people?

Last time I checked the deal with the Clintons was "TWO FOR THE PRICE OF ONE", so please spare me the details that Hillary was not in on NAFTA, ColumbiaGate, Snipergate, WeatherUndergroundGate, Screw-emGATE, WhiteWaterGate, KazacstanGATE, MonicaGate, and soon to come PeterPaulGate just to name a few.

Unbelievable!

I do not understand Hillary's campaign. Even though I have no respect for the way she conducts herself, she is bright and astucious. I am amazed by this need of hers to always get in troubles. There is a self-destruction going on here.

It was great strategy of Obama to shoot back at Clinton about the WU pardons. A bit dirty, but awesome.

Who cares! She has more gabbage that we don't bring up. Does anyone know Peter Paul and the chinese guy who raised money for Hillary? Obama doesn't wanna get into food fight.
This nonsense has to stop and stop quickly!

Again Camp Hillary showed signs of tunnel vision. They were going after Obama by indicating he served on a charity committee with Ayers and attended a dinner at Ayers' home while on that committee.

That did not expect the "bomb shell" of Obama countering with the Clinton pardon of people who plotted against the U.S. and carried out violets attachs! Why would Clinton do such a thing — that is treason!

Now who's more patriotic — all the negative business over Obama's lack of a "flag pin" when you have presidents pardoning acts of treason? Who has better judgment?!!

Another reason the Clintons should NOT be go back to the White House.

I think Obama himself pointed out that he shouldn't be held responsible for what 'someone ELSE' did. Shouldn't that logic apply to Hillary as well?

More media manipulation – I guess that was a tough blow for Obama last night when he flopped at the debate. It's tough being under the light, isn't it? Now we know who performs better under pressure.

HILLARY CLINTON IS BETTER THAN HER CAMPAIGN! and Obama is worse than his.

see through the media bias and judge for yourself who the better candidate is – let's rise above the sheep-dom…. i refuse to buy something just because i see millions of commercials for it and the media 'says i should.'

Obama supporters need to admit that Senator Clinton was WAY more in the know when it came to policy, plans, and solutions – give her credit where it's due even if you aren't voting for her!

please post this CNN!

Well, Bill also pardoned some Puerto Rican bombers just before Hillary ran for Senate of NY (Hmmm…pandering for PR votes?)

BO served as a board member on a charity organization with Ayers. He did not elect Ayers! Get real, people.

Well well well.. Maybe my questions will get answered or at least some of them.. Im listening but please dont try to lie again Hillary..

Obama 08

Stop attacking each other – start talking the last 8 years of Republican record.

She will just use her usual words – I don't agree with everything my husband did.

Pathetic!

It's her husband,stupid,not Hillary…Stop blaming her husband's screw ups on her….I don't blame our present president's screw ups,which are many, on his father.

too funny. hopefully they will ask about the 16 FALN terrorist sympathizers that Bill Pardoned as well.

Will this never end?

CNN where are the headlines praising Hillary in last night's debate?

Is it because she outshone the golden bull boy?

Is it because ABC did what you were unwilling to do- put on a fair debate on topics and positions? Is it because it was framed against the constitution and not as an American Idol show?

Shame on you CNN.

I suppose you feel you must pander to the Latte-sipping internet generation. Well I am of that generation- and I do not like your slanted biased reporting posing as news.

Rise above the need for ratings and start journalistic reporting again.

Hillary's chickens have come home to roost…

that;s funny that CNN runs this story now. Last two weeks when it was Obama's involvement it was never mention.

Great answer… I'm a militant… but your husband pardoned a couple of the other ones.
Great answer… hedge, hedge, hedge..

Good to see that campaign of change and unity… NOT

That was an AWESOME COMEBACK from Barack. Hey if she doesn't know the THUNDER she should stay quiet.

Hillary, Open Mouth, Insert Foot. You dished it out now take it. Who else has the Clintons pardoned?

When you dig a ditch for someone make sure your husband hasn't already dug one for you. Bill really should have reminded Hillary about the pardons and warned her not to got down that "dark alleyway"

All the Hillary supporters were asking about Obama and Ayers. Now that they are asking the Clintons there role with two defendants, she don't know what to say. Shame on you Hillary. Oh by the way, the Superdelegates in Oklahoma are switching there vote after the debate yesterday. They now want to go with Obama. He does it again. Her middle east policy is very scary and she sounds like she is sending out full force if Isreal is attacked. That is huge and she is really crazy.

The only winner of this "debate" was the media. As long as they keep this circus running, they keep raking in the advertising dollars. These events are being billed like the superbowl, and the commercial business that is the media is cashing in the whole way.

I watched the "debate" and it was a 3 on 1 attack on Obama. Even people who don't support Obama could see how biased it was. ABC? More like TMZ. The political powers that be need to take the reigns & salvage what little dignity is left in the Democratic party.

Did anyone else notice that no one asked Clinton about the $800K Columbia fiasco? Or how she would keep the leash on Bill if she were in the WH? She got off easy, while Obama was slammed. And I think he handled himself with decorum & dignity, and he TRIED to keep on topic (except when he had to defend himself).

Typical Obama wimping out. He can't take the pressure so, despite claiming that he's a new kind of politician, he throws another irrelevant punch to change the subject. The R's are going to chew him up and spit him out.

William Ayers made hateful comments in recent years, after 9/11.

Did the pardoned individuals do the same?

It is okay and Christian to pardon and forgive those who have regretted and repented.

Go Hillary.

Oops, did the kitchen sink land on your toe?

Bet she didn't see that one coming! Once again, her husbands public stance on an issue contradicts what Hillary is saying she stands for. In the end, who will she have more loyalty to? She is literally in bed with one of the biggest lobbyists out there.
