CNN

Obama is so arrogant and back alley. You better pray he doesn't get the nomination. The Republican party wont make McCain back down from him. They will be brushing his dirt off their shoulders. If Hillry had said and done what he did she would be plastered all over the papers for picking on the poor boy. And yes that is what he is. He is a small arrogant spoiled rich boy that needs to grow up.

Come on Jarad......ARROGANT!!! Because he brushed off the mud-slinging crap that wasted 45 minutes of the...."debate". What does the Weathermen 1960's radicals have to do with anything relevant to your life? Obama was 8 years old and living in Hawaii when these guys were around and you probably were'nt even born yet.

Hillary's tactics of non stop firing on Obama have turned even her ardent supporters to Obama . Look at Pennsylvania polls. She was ahead atleast 25 points, and now 5 points and dropping.

Go OBAMA Go, get the nomination and go after McCain and Company. He did the right thing by literally brushing her off.

Little men always talk big and are the most boastful. Trying to hide their shortcomings behind insults.

Trying to talk their way into having any importance at all.

bwahahahahahahahaha

I Caught that and i loved it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Just brush her off Sen., Just Brush her off

I keep scratching my head trying to figure out where people get the idea that Obama is arrogant and pompous. I have studied him closely and I just don't see it. He doesn't talk down to people. He doesn't rub Hillary's nose in her mistakes. He's opened up his life, thoughts, background and beliefs for everyone to see. He never shows that he's above answering the hard questions. He takes responsibility for his mistakes. He knows that being President is less about himself than it is about the people of the USA. He knows he can only accomplish things by connecting with good people.

His shoulders are not big enough to hold a woman of Hillary's stature.

That is why he had to cheat to try to win the nomination.

Even so, Hillary managed to hold her own- even with her voters disenfranchised.

Funny isn't it? Watch us in Nov when we remember to show the democratic party the same loyalty they showed the party members.

Priceless.

Took the high road yet again, even after that absurd excuse for a debate.

Just wanted to send comments regarding the debate. I was dissapointed. I am a thoughtful person who cares abour real issues and getting things done. The questions and content of the debate were more more of a gossip and gotcha type issues. For someone who grew up through Vietnam, Watergate, etc... I typically admire the press for getting to the issues while politicians try to avoid the hard subjects and facts. Last night, i saw the reversal. Journalists (i.e. "entertainers?) asked irrelevant questions and are actually getting the public off track. One candiate (Obama) was steadfast, honest, and wanted to talk issues. Come on CNN – can you rise above this and talk issues or will we continue hear what someone's preacher said a year ago Sunday, or what white lie someone said to try and prove they have courage, or what lobbyist someone has dinner with? Keep doing what you are doing and talk about these frivolous things and and we will have more George W. Bush's and less Abraham Lincoln's, FDR's, JFK's, etc....
Deeply dissapointed in with this debate.

This was the most even-handed debate to date. Obama's followers believe that any questioning of their leader is heresy.

That's awesome. This guy knows what he's doing.

Telling isn't it, when Hillary uses Republican tactics and Republican talking points.

Is that not the American way...when knocked down, get up, dust yourself off, and keep moving forward? That is exactly what Obama is trying to show. Humor is the only way that I will get through the rest of this season. Come on people (i.e. Hillary supporters) lighten up.

Get...That...Dirt off your shoulders...and slacks in Obama' case. lol. Thanks for the laugh Obama.

Unfortunately you may actually win the nomination- due to all the corruption the DNC introduced into this primary.

You may win even though you are the lesser candidate and Hillary is clearly the better option.

The DNC placed their bets on you instead and now we are all stuck with their bad judgement and the consequences of their ineptitude.

But... The Hillary democrats are as tenacious as their candidate. We will NOT forget. NOV is payback day.

Listening to Obama speak – he's not very well spoken. You morons who think this "Savior" is going to change our country are so pathetic. Be careful what you ask for.

Good job Barack, last night she was acting like evil. Hey Barack, No More debates with this JOKES, she is trying to make you unelectable and look forward in 2012. Keep campaigning because she out of cash and she cannot compete any longer. All she can afford now, is to debate and talk trash. Go Barack . I will vote for you no matter what.

What a jerk Obama is, he will get whats coming to him...

No more arrogant smart presidents. Let's stick with arrogant, moronic Presidents. That has worked out great for us the last 8 (Bush) years. Why can't someone run who doesn't like himself? Yeah, right.........

Obama can not seem to win on his own merits.

He needs to deride and mock his opponent. Why? Because he feels inferior and can only shine by belittling others.

He needs outside celebrity and DNC support. He needs 4 times the amount of money.

He needs to plant supporters to heckle and jeer his opponent.

He needs thugs to block Hillary voters from voting at caucus.

He needs Oprah and the Kennedys and Kerry and all the big and really OLD style democrats.

just lookin at the daily news... seems a white, german just made some comments on america... "laments u.s. injustices to blacks, indians." More:

"Americans have always been a people of hope," he said during his homily. "Your ancestors came to this country with the experience of finding new freedom and opportunity.

"To be sure, this promise was not experienced by all the inhabitants of this land; one thinks of the injustices endured by the native American peoples and by those brought here forcibly from Africa as slaves."

Reverend Wright and the Pope have some overlapping similarities in opinion. Seeing as we americans have dismissed the good reverend and racist and hateful, we should probably be outraged with catholics too.

Does CNN report when he goes to the john? Seriously...you obamaniacs get excited over the dumbest things.

Ha! He was just as bad as her in yesterday's debate (the cookies-comment, his inability to say anything good about the Clinton-administration...he'd rather praise Bush Sr.!!), so he needs to shut up. I'm sick of his holier than thou attitude...
Clinton needs to realize that it's in her advantage to talk issues,.When they do that, SHE ACTUALLY WINS!!! He just comes across as ignorant...

hillary seems less and less likeable after each debate--last night her "body language" was rather irritating with the smirks that she made during obama's comments.

For the spelling flickers....Mad not made and buy not by.

I think it's good that this is drawing out the way it is. Identities are really starting to come out in the nominees. It helps voters get to kno who the candidates really are!

I don't agree with Obama. If he wins, I will vote Republican (and so is my large Latino family) if he loses, I will vote Democratic (and so will my large Latino family).

I will never vote for Obama.

Hypocrisy!! You have been every bit as nasty, sometimes more so! You have a brain-wash way of using every moment to say you don't do the attacks! Good news, if you don't win the Election, at least you have a cult like following, one that I might add, every bit as nasty as anything I have seen! Way to bring people together, and make us around the world think better of you!

Hillary sure seemed pleased with herself standing up there with the Clinton lap dog Stephanopolos leading her inane attacks. Obama condecending? He was there to debate the issues, not play elementary school name games. Does he have contempt for Hillary's juvinile behavior? Wouldn't you?

Sore loser.

He's bitter because she clearly won the debate- that is why he is back to refusing future debates.

He knows he can not stand without his props: hecklers, jeerers, primary riggers, lawyers to block the vote/revote, Celebrity fests.

Hillary has done it all on her own merits.

Obama , your throwin in a little of that black flavor now??? Oh crap now he's going to have to disown Jay-z. What black man says Bruce Springstein is the person he most want's to meet. Your fake ___ may have my coumminty fooled but this is one brother who knows a buster when he sees him. I wonder are you going to superman that ho e (Hillary no pun intendid). I forgot you did back in the day. I am not made at your game. If everyone want's to by into your pimp juice so be it, but your not puttin me out on the track.

Newly independent: No Obama,Clinton or Mccain 08

That is so funny...I love Obama.

Sen. Obama doesn't want to debate any more because he stinks at it.

More media misinformation about how unlikely it is that Hillary can catch up in popular vote – she is currenly only 94,000 votes behind Obama and will likely take the lead after Pennsylvania, Yes, Florida and Michigan count – popular votes were certified in those two states and the DNC cannot scrub those although they may not seat the delegates selected as a result of those votes. This still doesn't change the fact that there is a popular vote total that the media is hiding from the public.
It amazes me how one sided in coverage CNN and several other news agencies are. Slam Clinton, poor little B Obama….How about asking Obama….how much did Rezko actually finance for you and how much was related to your being elected? Your spiritual advisor makes Bin Lauden look as though they believe the same things, and what about your friendly neighborhood terrorist, Bill Ayers? Your campaign admittedly said you were friendly and on 9-11-01 this fool said he was not sorry for the bombings he started in the US. And he is a professor.. Please, only in a campaign….I believe Obama should get out before he gives this election to McCain

after each debate, hillary seems less likeable. she seems to smirk a lot when barak is making his points-she needs to watch this "body language" if she wants to remain in the race!

I wonder if Bill O'reilly thinks that Barack runs around in a restaurant yelling "hey MFrs, where is my GD iced tea".

He who slings mud first, always complains about the other person.

You have been getting digs in since day one. And everyone else tried not to attack you.

The race card played early made sure that no criticism would be coming. Everyone was afraid you'd call them racist.

So you got and advantage and an edge.

The caucus format was pandering to your demographic and gave you an additional boost.

Disenfranchising Fl and Mi gave you a turbo boost.

The DNC was happy because they thought you were the party's best hope to win. But Hillary showed that even with all the unfairness, the attacks, the hate, the sabotage and the swifboating- SHE STILL HELD ON TO 50% OF THE PEOPLE.

The Democratic party and the DNC must be running scared now. They lost the gamble. Now you may never get the support of the Hillary democrats.

They think we will come around if she stays in the race until she loses- but we will not forget that she would NOT have lost if this primary wasn't rigged against her and in your favor. We will not forget all the ballots cast for Hillary that got tossed out.

Hear us well DNC: NO Obama by force.

I refuse to vote for Obama. CNN can try to shove him down my throat all they want.
I'm not voting for him.

Arrogant, condscending, self-righteous.

Obama is accusing Clinton of using the tactics of the GOP? How about denying voters in Florida the right to vote? Isn't that the TACTIC that "won" the GOP the 2000 election.

By opposing a re-vote, Obama showed his true political colors. I would never vote for such a hypocrite.

I was for Romney and still am. I really don't know who to vote for. Except I know I won't vote for Obama. I listened to a little of the debate last night and when they asked a question about his preacher or other people of undesireable retributes, that he has had dealings with, he would not answer the question. I personally don't trust him with the government of the United States. ;He wouldn't even salute the flag. That is another question he worked around and didn't answer. I just hope and pray the people of this country will think twice before putting their stamp by Obama's name. CNN will probably not let this go through since you are certainly pro-obama.

I think ABC and the two journalists, Gibson and Stephanopolis, whatever, had some nerve to waste out ime discussing the kinds of questions at a debate for the first 50 minutes. I am not saying tthat nothing should be discussed, but my goodness, how long will we have to discuss all that bull for? I am sick and tired of Hillary's nasty tactics, she is the most annoying, divicive person i have ever seen. I am so tried of the picking and picking on the same issue. Does she not realize that it is not sticking? she needs to stop! If people don't make a big deal of it and she conitunes to point things out, it only hurts her because she looks like an idiot repeating the same issue. Give it up Hillary! Obviously people did not trust her, that applies to me as well, I never did trust her. But, now more people distrust her because she out right lied to the public to gain political votes, lied about her exprience, and has tried to tear down Obama with devicive remarks and political tactics. Guess what, we trust even less now! she needs to move on and maybe, she should start baking cookies!!! I am tired of looking at her and tired of how she has treated the democratic party. She is one selfih B-- . Peensylvanians have been getting sick of her bull also, I hope they vote for Obama and get this darn primary over with. The dems are getting very close to losing the whole thing because of hillary. How stupid is she? how dumb? how selfish of her!!!!! I don't know how Obama stays so cool, cal and collective with all her dirt!!! she really needs to quit. I give Obama so much credit for being such a calm man and so presidential while he was being picked apart. Good for him. now that's the kind of president I want.

While the Democrats are imploding with dirty,petty tactics. Racism and sorry Liberal media bias. One Man has held his head high. Stayed clean and honerable and spoke truth even when it backlashed against him. O8bama. There truly is no substitute for 08.

Loser.

not the positive uplifting inspiring politician you once claimed to be, keep it coming show your true colors

hmm well when hillary's support brush you off barrack what will you do?

Yes, Barack Obama is both intelligent and well educated and it really shows. His level of astuteness helps him to gain voter support and to see how irrational Clinton can be when she uses her wrecking ball. Clinton supporters make statements about themselves when they participate with her devaluation of a decent human being.

How immature, not to mention arrogant. He won't win in November.

I think Obama was a perfect gentleman. He took a beating from Clinton past guy but guess what Hillary will get what she deserve.

The mud is getting thick on Hillary's face. Don't matter who you support.....she is a loser. Loser. Please go home, and take boring Chelsea and bore Bill with you. Bye bye.

Come on Pennsylvania, let's shut Hilary down on 4/22/08.

YES WE CAN!

OBAMA-08!

The media is so thrilled because Hillary supposedly made up the cute nickname McBush. Of course if you blog here you know that nickname was used here for a week before the adopt an idea Hillary ever said it. We have a nickname for Hillary too 'Bush Lite'.

Hillary wiped the floor with you.

You did not have the Obama worshipping CNN and MSNBC to run interference for you.

You came across very hesitant and hedging.

If Obama can't handle this, he'll never be able to handle the republicans. He should just man up and just admit he had a bad night, no one is perfect, but to play this wounded victim role is really unattractive and unbecoming of a leader. Do your history, this is a picnic compare to the founding fathers. The job of President is tough and he needs to stop whining.

Hillary the true leader finds her voice.

She shone last night. What grace and poise and intelligence.

She was brilliant.

Just one problem…
Just when I was starting to buy into the audacity of hype….I mean hope… don't parse my words.

I am a uniter, I am…. You just don't understand me.

I am a Christian, I am… I just practice a doctrine of Hate.

I don't align myself with bad people…. no I don't… I don't really know them, I didn't have fundraisers at their homes… they didn't buy me a house.

If you are not with me then you are all liars, liars pants on fire.

Oh My…. Bye Bye 'bama

If Obama wins the Dem nom, I'll vote for a democrat for the first time in my life. If Clinton gets the nom, I'm going to stick with the republicans. I like the idea of cleaning house and starting fresh in Washington. Obama offers the best chance of that happening, and McCain is the 2nd best chance. Clinton will bring back all the same people. The US is not a monarchy.....we need change.

Obama is both cocky and patronizing. Just like his followers.

I have posted several times today. Its obvious that CNN has an agenda on who it will allow to speak. This is not just me.

Obama is whining, not winning. He lost and now once again he changes the subject.

Done here waisting time. Obama supporters complain about the debate, but continue to play gutter politics on the board. CNN does not post everyones entries, leading to a one sided bashing of Clinton.

I know I made the right vote..

Mr Obama if you fall down from your pedestal you may regret your arrogans. Keep holding your chin high, look down at people like a childish selfappointed emperor and you will lose.

Obama is going to loss is November!!

Hillary is a better choice!!!

He is so sickening. I will def vote McCain if he is the Dem nominee.

You got right Obama it is ashamed that so many of these political analyst are so disconnected with "us" common folks that many view the fact that you did this seems to indicate that you feel you loss the debate....When actually you were displaying how many of us feel. We are just ready to get on with how your presidency will help with the economy, joblessness, gas prices, mortgage rates, etc....I could give a ^%$*# about Rev. Wright, Bitter comments, Bosnia, etc. any more it's about our future with no time to waste on the "silliness" that was presented like on last night's at the debate.

ABC you should be ashamed....Leave tabloid reporting to Fox you are much better than that....

Hey Jes – If you can see something the rest of the world doesn't, that means you're either a clairvoyant or a kook.

Let's just say a clairvoyant would know that Billary's gonna be stumping for Obama pretty soon...............................

Once again, the arrogance and elitism comes through loud and clear.
What a pompous hypocrite!

So many of you Hillary supporters are making a statement that you are definitely okay with a potential leader who is dishonest, petty and disrespectful of others to get her way. Who would really get the kudos if she were elected? Does Bill Clinton ring a bell? It is difficult to know which one of them has a higher degree of narcissicim.

What Obama was saying, is the average people are too dumb to get his superior,cool,liberal message.What an arrogant snob.This is from a twit who attended the most expensive private school in Hawaii and then an Ivy league college.I guess he is more comfortable with Jeremiah Wright

Where in the heck do you get Obama is well spoken!! All he did last night was studder!!! That is what he has done a every debate!!

If it isn't written out for him...he is tongue tied. duh, duh, duh!!!

He is arrogant whenever it serves his purposes. Last night he was crying foul left right and center and now he acts as if he is above it.

Give it up and cant wait for the republicans to start making their true attacks on him.

paul

That is true that is all she knows , she represents old status quo, she is same old same old politics, so it is all she does and has done in the campaign
the more she attacks you senator the more people see her lies, her dishonesty, her untruthfulness, adn all her blah blah blah

she is worst than the republicans so look at it that way , if you can defeat her none will stop you.......she is the worst and the most toxic element our political system can ever produce.....

I will vote for you Senator Obama....

I just love his finesse. He uses humour everytime to deflect all that negative and ridicilous nonscence comming from haters. He keeps his decorum and grace and still is Presidential and respectable. Not for nothing, we keep forgetting that there are a lot of scared people out there that don't want him to become Pres, because when he does, it will be the end of their world as they know it. Every man, woman or child who have had abd or having a struggled life will have him as the ultimate role model and advocate. people will want to work hard to fulfill the American dream as he did.He has already let the cat out of the bag and we all know,,YES WE CAN!!! YES WE WILL.Obama 08

What a great way to deal with pestie people – just brush them off your should.

Obama 08

So it is going to be not only a new kind of Presidency, it is going to be a new kind of campaign? Mr. Obama is going to stand proud, head high, and brush off the attacks, and the electorate is going to sweep him into the White House out of admiration? But he's engaged in the usual gutter politics already against Hillary "Annie Oakley" Clinton and John McCain. And last night he wilted under fire, which will only be worse when it is coming from the GOP. Or will he be counting on the sympathy vote because ABC was so "unfair" to him? Hillary can take the heat. But the shock to Obama supporters last night was that Obama can't.

Absolutely hilarious. I was really disgusted by Hillary in last night's debate (and that's to say nothing of ABC's moderators). Go watch it again and look at her eyes during the debate. So often she was looking up and around searching for some kind of truthiness to add to her statement.

Her physical mannerisms were those of someone who is lying. She's not even that good at hiding those tell-tale signs we get taught as children to identify.

I'd rather vote for McCain than a liar.

Obama '08!

Bwahaha! That response was perfect. He's not even really complaining about it, he always just makes a point of saying that it's part of the process and to be expected, but that it represents the OLD politics. So he brushes it off and gets back to the issues. And it makes all the people who insist on focusing on flag pins and who his next door neighbor is just look petty and out of touch with what the people are concerned about.

Last night/today was a perfect example of how the MSM just doesn't get it. All the pundits were talking about how Obama got pummeled, while all the polls indicate that the voters saw it as an Obama victory and the only one who wanted to talk about the things that matter.

At the end of the day, flag pins aren't going to put food on anyone's table or help anyone get health care.

yes Obama get that dirt off ur feet and walk on to the white house with ur head up and go after all the things we were over look by the republican,for all of amercans,troops,their families and evry one of us who live from pay check to pay check,make Hillary who for fot we are runing a election and not a jerryspringer show and use her for ur doormat as u step into the white,people should read ur book or ur stoey about ur mom and they will know u was not born with a silver spoon is ur mouth,tust me ,trust the people ur will be in the white house.

Obama attacked Hillary for what Bill did, so I guess if he gets into the whitehouse, Michelle will be telling him what decisions to make. I have been married twice, this time for 15 years and I want to know how Hillary made Bill do her bidding, because most real men frown on thier wives interfering with thier jobs.

Wow..in the word's of a famous rapper. Obama's Swagger is off the charts right now.

Ha ha ha Hillary is losing it now.
If you throw mud at someone , some of it sticks on ya.

Obama was "set up". Hillary knew the "storyline'" somewhat and
her friends George S. and Charles Gibson probably told her to
relax, that they were going to put him on the spot. I imagine she
got to choose the channel, the moderators and if Obama would
have "declined" the offer, he would have been slandered and we
would have heard "the wrath of Hillary" over his refusal to "debate."
I am sick of Hillary and Bill.

The debate last night was a joke....it's great to see that Sen. Obama can joke about it. We need a good laugh to help us get through this sludge of an election. ABC should be ashamed of themselves. Who the hell cares about flag pins anyway? I don't care about what they wear on their clothes, my concern is the content of their character and their heart. You would be hard pressed to see anything of any value in Hillary's character or heart. I guess that's why she wants us to try to focus on all of this other crap.

HA! I love it!

Hi!
"The person that can't dance says the band can't play".....Obama in a nutshell....
Why is he soooo mad? I loved the person in his audience who asked him how he could stand up to the republicans when he got creamed last night

Hillary has been treated worse for the entire campaign....he can't take ONE night of tough questions about HIS OWN ACTIONS? And he wants to be president? Can someone explain how he would handle the job if he can't handle questions without getting upset?
Boy, he is really pathetic.....what a baby....
There had NOT been a debate since his pastor and the bigot remarks came to be....The questions needed to be asked in the debate forum. He was weak and irritated....he really looked bad. I guess that's why he doesn't want any more debates...how funny
GO HILLARY!!!

Jes,

How is he condecending to voters? People keep saying that the "bitter" comments were...but I just don't see it. I don't see him as pompous, or rather, no more pompous than any other politician that has ever existed anywhere!

There is a difference between well educated and intellegent.

But there is also a difference between intellgent and wise.

Obama's getting a little scary with his rhetoric. So, if someone criticizes him or dares run against with any kind of commitment, they're "stabbing him in the back." He does think he's the Messiah. Bush thought the same thing. So did Caligula and Nero. Why do you think some of us our fighting so hard for Hillary.

Liar you have stooped worst, you started the negative attacks when you called her dishonest and a Washington insider, which you are also by the way, oh wait that's right you were hired to work in Washington but you don't do your job.

Please....no more debates. You know Hillary is lying when her lips are moving.

I dont think this is anything to be proud of, he sounds like he's whinning, He wants to be president ,and he acts like a school kid. Pathetic.

You Obama supporters had better hope your candidate dosnt get the nomination. He will have a complete meltdown (or you will) the first time the Republicans take him on. They get serious. So far its been elementry school while he and his supporters dish out abuse and rude remarks to Hillary Clinton and you all think its "cute".

Look at the mixture of his crowd! You will never see that much diversity at Hillary or Mccain's rally! LET'S UNITE BEHIND THE UNIFIER!

OBAMA ALL THE WAY

Talk about hypocrisy...

LOOK at Obama - he's taking every opportunity to "get a dig in" - and "twist the knife in a little bit," as he's complaining about Clinton engaging in such behavior.

What an arrogant HYPOCRIT.

BTW - Shouldn't OBAMA be talking about the issues... rather than wasting time trashing Clinton?

Oh, that's right. This is a man who preaches one thing, yet does the exact opposite.

What an over-blown ego - he's gonna FALL hard.

Hah, Clinton and the Republicans tried to go dirty on him, and he just brushes them off!

Obama is the candidate to focus on the issues – all Clinton and McCain can do is try to drag him down to their level.

He is an elite candidate – he's the BEST candidate.

Obama looks like he is sweating bullets today and all that fanfare of him brushing off his shoulder just proves that he is GHETTO, from the inside out.

He just can't answer the questions of his lies and his radical connections without stammering and crying foul. And if he can't answer to diplomatic moderators like Charlie and George and/or his same party opponent- he WILL find himself with a severe whipping from the GOP in November IF he steals the nomination, that is. (FL, MI, Corrupt Caucuses- come on.. that boy is no winner!)

All you Obama supporters make me laugh. You can't face the fact that he performed poorly during last nights debate, so your going to try and spin it as if he walked away from it the winner. Well I hate to tell, you this , but he came off as being more unexperienced than ever. All he did was stutter. He couldn't seem to get a decent response off quickly enough.

Hillary came out on top.

Go Hillary!

They both are hacks of the Democratic "way left"...

I contend it's not so bad that Americans are ready to taste socialism in order to get an ear in Washington.

Become Independant–then let them change their policies to adapt to what YOU want.

Free markets...fair pay...strong military defense–honorable withdrawel from Iraq....and free choices regarding your healthcare.

It's sad Barack is probably going to have to run against her until November. I think she is going to be McCain's VP.

Obama, BIG QUESTION ???? WE NEVER SEE YOU WITH A LAPEL PIN.

NO < NO OBAMA

ANNIE OAKLEY , YOU ASK HIM .

that is just sad... he folded like a lawn chair last night... now he is trying to blame Clinton...

Well done Obama !

God bless you and God bless America too !

ok ok ok make way for the clintonians
lol

Obama will lose to Mccain because a lot of Dems will vote for Mccain & I am one of many

Yes get the dirt off Obama. By the way 3 women super delegates In PA have defected from Clinton to Obama this morning because of her negative campaign. 2 of them are reps and one is a state senate.

Grace with humor. Don't let Billary's dirty tactics and the former Press Secretary of the Clinton Administration George Stephanopolus one sided attacks get you down.

This guy is hiiillarious!!! hahaha brush that dirt off your shoulder maan!! She definately was in her element last night smirking and just having a ball cheapshotting Obama at every opportunity.

A smart person would have recongized the silly game being played by ABC to boost ratings. Obama was smart enough to see it coming and did his best to avoid it. Hillary instead played right inot it like an idiot, in the end all she succeded in doing is making Democrats look childish.

OBAMA O8!

Brilliant!! A great pivot to the general election and a great way to neutralize what's coming from the Republicans. We have too many problems in this country to be worried about flag pins. He's right. The voters saw right through this debate.

OBAMA 08

"""jes April 17th, 2008 4:27 pm ET

I wish to God people would wake up & see what a arrogant & pompous man he is. Not only is he inexperienced but he is a perfect example of the difference between being well educated & intelligent."""

No my friend, you're totally wrong, Barack is right, instead of attacking Hilary Clinton and offense people, he'd better let down, that's the right thing to do, Hillary has been attacking him from the very beginning, by email, in the media, in her campaign, she has engaged in a dirty, nasty and shameful "kitchen sink", remember what her campaign had said before Ohio and Texas, I quote: "We're gonna make a "kitchen sink" and wait to see how voters react and how he handles that", but Barack is strong, he knew that acting like Clinton would be shameful for him, so right now, instead of answering her negativity it's better not to answer and just let her do what she's best at, the Republicans attacks.

We don't need that, we need debate on real issues, how and what they plan to do to solve our common problems, that's the debate we're looking to see, not negative and false attacks as it was the case yesterday. A lot of people don't trust Clinton anymore because of that, SHAME ON HER;;;

That's why I've HOPED for and supported him since his keynote address in '02

GO BIG O'

Ya gotta get that dirt off ya sholder! I feel a change coming on, its crazy cause i go through these blogs and out of 30 blogs there will be 25 people supporting Obama and the other 5 Hillary or McCrazy. They need to start using these blogs as samples to come up with their polling numbers.

I was glad they asked the questions they did. I know the issues from watching stump speeches and researching their web pages. I have serious issues with his affiliations with Ayers, Rev. Wright, Rezko and their affiliations with Farrakhan. Still, I have no clearer understanding of any of these issues. He used his response time to say how trivial these matters are, while never answering the questions. Well, I don't think they are trivial and I would like answers to the questions.

I thought personal attacks were "old" politics? I thought Obama said this isn't going to solve the important issues that the American people care about? I thought he said we are wasting time with this kind of negative attacks? I thought he wanted change and wanted to bring everyone together? He does this all the time. He accuses the Clinton campaign of "dirty" politics, and the very next day, he is out there rolling in it.

So I will ask you then....why is he wasting time talking to the people in NC with these personal attacks instead of talking about the issues the American people care about?

I see, he is in a small town in NC where people cling to their guns and religion and don't care about the issues....BECAUSE THEY ARE BITTER.

HIS ACTIONS SPEAK SO LOUDLY I CAN'T HEAR WHAT HE SAYS.

I don't know anything about Jay-Z guys but yes he haS done the right thing to brush her off. Jesus, told the disiciples to kick the dust off their heals if they don't receive them. So in likewise Obama has kicked the dust of Hillary off his heals and is moving forward to VICTORY!

I find it refreshing that instead of attacking Hilary directly back, he brushes it off and excuses her behavior, which only does her more damage.

Obama '08

God, I love him even more now.

Jes...I think you need to face the fact that Barack IS in fact not only well educated and intelligent but he is brilliant as well and connected more than you will ever be able to figure out. He knows who you DON'T know. Be careful when you make statements about one of the chosen. You'll never know where you may end up. Besides, you're gonna have to respect the next President some day. lol. Harvard...Barack, President...YES HE CAN and DID.

I LOVE IT THAT WAS THE FIRST THING THAT CAME TO MY MIND ALSO WAS THE JAY-Z RAP. GO ON BRUSH YOUR SHOULDERS OFF OBAMA.

You Obama people really can make one gag. Obama himself is no better.

If Hillary is out – McCain is in. Hillary supporters get ready for the big cross over!!!!! Does anybody really think a Hillary supporter would cast a vote for Obama after all the nasty remarks – not a chance.

lol, after a poor debate last night atleast he earns cool points! i can see why this would make hillary fans mad. he's cool, she's not!

way to go Mr.O i like the way you don't participate in the crap slinging on the debate and kept with what really matter to the american public

and if tax have to be raised so the next generation an have SS benifits so be it , I prefer to hear it now not 6 months in to the anyone's term

Obama is acting as if Clinton asked the questions. Is he crazy? And this guy is acting as if he isn’t a politician. Didn’t is just say recently that he is a darn good politician? He is just so arrogant that if he gets the nomination, none of the Clinton supporters are going to vote for him. He is just so smug it makes me sick to my stomach.

My goodness he's an arrogant jerk!

HA-HA WE WILL WIN IN THE END!!!!!!!!!!!

Someone accurately exposes your weaknesses, faults, and lack of readiness for the office of President, but you find a way to completely ignore these truths.

There is nothing Barack is going to do for America, that Hillary has not planned to do from the start. There is more Hillary plans to do, that Obama does not.

Barack whole campaign has been smearing Hillary's image to be "a monster", a "witch", so that Barack can argue that he is somehow the better qualified candidate, and Hillary is somehow going to do nothing for America.

Explain how it ISN'T experience for Hillary to have a west-wing office for 8 years in the White House. Name the other 1st lady in history to have a west-wing office?? There is no other.

Obama got his newbie butt handed to him lastnight. Hillary showed him where he stands in the political arena. It is about time he got some hardballs. cnn and msnbc has thrown him softballs all campaign.

Don't allow Annie Oakley and the Media to drag you in the mud with them, YOU have the American people on your side... but they are STUCK in the PAST
Obama/Edwards 08 Si Se Puede

When he did not do well in the debate, he trashed it!!

He can't even take a setback like a man, worse than a woman!!

HAHAHAHA That's what I'm talking about!!
Brush if off Obama, Brush it off!

Too bad he can't brush away that pathetic debate perfromance last night.

Or Reverand Wright...

Or Tony Rezko...

Or Bitter/Cinging to comments

Or the Gun questionnaire he never saw (but signed)

The Republicans have seen through the Clintons for 16 years... it's good to see (at least half) the democratic party finally coming around.

Nice Job...

I love this guy! It's time Hillary humbly dropped out before being brushed out by the superdelegates.

Obama '08

To Unrealistic: I would take it that you are for That Monster HRC. Well atleast there is a discussion about being intelligent, and well educated. We have a candidate that embodies both. It's not to late to wake up and realize, that he is the best option. Hillary has to big a problem with the truth. Can we really take a chance on her. Atleast unlike some other who post, you seem to be both educated and uintelligent. NICE JOB!!!!

The Media is the 'NEW LYNCH MOB" of the 21 century. We spend 5 days on one word "bitter", what a joke! The world see how the "Media" can fan a flame of nothing into controversy. Wake of America don't be swift boated again!

Barack the "ROCK" 08!!!!!

I am sorry , the video is horrible , it just go to show how awful he is , he talks like he is so different , when all in all he is the same as all of the rest of them .

talk about cleaning off the shoulders , I thought that is what he has been doing all these months and years , look at all the things he lets go by him and pretend he was there , he didn't write , he didn't agreed with , he just wants whatever it takes to make him , he is not even concerned about anybody but himself
I Do Not Trust him even a tiny little bit , I sure hope that this thing is over soon and we can be done with having to listen to him and all his speeches

Hillary or McCain

Obama is going very easy on fighting back at Hilliary I believe because she is a women that is a good thing.

I don't know what the HRC supporters expect – that Obama would go into the corner and cry with all these attacks against him?

Better that he brush them off – figuratively & literally. That I can respect from a man who should be President.

Yep! Get that dirt off your shoulder. *flick* See ya, Hill.

Hillary, Hillary, Hillary, tsk, tsk, tsk...... So you make attacks without checking your facts (seems to be a trend). When making an attack stick, you must have some credibility. You have very, very little of that, and sinking all the time. In a poll on Tuesday/Wednesday, the number of Americans who thought you could be trusted was 38%,
With that number, no matter what you say, it won't stick. it only reflects on you badly. When your opponent knows this, and can actually make jokes about brushing you off, you have a serious problem. When your opponent shows you disrespect by making "brushing off" jokes, and no one jumps to your side to defend you, outraged, you're in big, big trouble.

The people in Indiana, Pennsylvania, and North Carolina (your last walls of defense) are lining up behind Barack. Your double-digit leads are gone. Your superdelegates are gradually but steadily moving into the Obama camp.

It's over, Hillary. Nothing short of Obama dropping out completely will get you the nomination now. Please, please, please, withdraw, and throw your support to Obama. The Democratic Party needs to pull together. The big battles with the Republicans are looming....

Get a life Obama after last night Hillary beat you down. You are now refusing to debate her anymore because you are cracking. You cant hide behind your facade anymore.

Hillary just needs to continue the Saturday debate on CBS with McCain and skip the middle man.

He always acts like a victim and whines when Hillary backs him in a corner, and then he gets his campaign to attack Hillary. Not long ago he was calling Hillary a whiner over his misleading mailings. Obama just doesn't understand that he needs Hillary's supporters in order to beat McCain. I see that some of the Obama supporters are finally starting to realize it to. It's too late though, no amount of begging is going to get me to vote for Obama is Hillary dosn't get nominated. I will vote for McCain and so will and so will millions of democrats that are sick of Obama's arogance and hypocracy.

Like Martin Luther King (who by the way was younger than Obama)Barack knows you don't have to have experience to know what is right and what needs to be done. A true leader often has to find a new path and Hillary, unfortunately, is still traveling the same old path. Forget the negativity; the voters are intelligent enough to understand the issues if they could just hear them instead of all this other nonsense.

Obama 08 Yes we Can NC!

I agree with Obama. If he wins I will vote democratic if he loses I will vote republican.
Obama '08

JES – Barack Obama is both well educated and intelligent. On top of that well spoken and sympathic to what we're all going through.

hillary's ad says:"who will answer you call to the white house at 3.00am?"
guess what"nobody",she's had too many beers and shots of"whisky"..she's drunk...
the answering machine will respond to your call as follows:
"sorry that nobody is here to answer you call..thanks for voting for me,but I'm not available now,plz call tomorrow after "hangover"..and I'll get back with you as soon as possible....ha!ha!ha!..thank you...
by the way"this is just a "FANTAZY"cz she's not gonna be in the "white house"...IT'S GONNA BE DA MAN,,,"OOOOBAMA...."that's the next presiden of the united states...go obama2008

he he he , obama is obviously thinking too high of himself..
So arrogant......

WOW,,,HOW PRESIDENTIAL ?????

I AM A HILL FAN ,,SOMEONE WHO COULD VOTE FOR OBAMAIN GENERAL IF HE IS THE NOMINEE,,,

BUT WHEN HE DOES THESE 18 YR OLD IMMATURE ACTS ,,,,,

HE SHOWS ,,HE IS A BOY ,,,,,,

SORRY ,,,,MY VOTE WILL STAY HOME OR WILL GO TO MCCAIN

I WILL VOTE MCCAIN IF OBAMA GETS IT
GAVE ANOTHER 200.00 TO HILLARY TODAY

Maybe Obama can brush off Hillary, but can he brush off Larry Sinclair? Don't know what I'm talking about? Go to you-tube and search Larry Sinclair. Just another one of Obama's friends to crawl out from under a rock.

Hillary or McCain 08!

Smug, condenscending, arrogant and the list goes on...he's very cocky on his own turf. It's funny how he talks the talk when he's in a state where he's sure to win. He will probably win the nomination and Hillary can beg her supporters to vote for Obama but this one won't and in case you haven't heard, McCain is looking better and better in the polls today.

That should be his new intro song before the next debate.

and you want to be president of the united states?

if you cant handle it obama, go home to rezko and ayers

and wright and cry to michelle....

flake

First it was Reszko then it was Rev Wright. Last week it was the Bitter (guns and religion) issue and yesterday the Weatheman Underground. Maybe next week it will be Black Muslims or the Panthers or something worse. Obama truly is the teflon man or maybe it is because he is black and the media want to be careful with him, God forbid.

If Hillary had been involved with any of these controverseys well she would have had to run out of Washington but well she is a women so lets put her down and down again. What a joke, the double standard is alive and well in America. It perfectly ok to crap all over a women but a blackman, no. Well if the women of America do start to consider the idea of a Block vote to ensure that he does not win, then they deserve what they get.

Obamastill has not explained himeself satisfactorily but it seems good enough for some Americans to put him into the Presidency.

Hillary is a political suicide bomber. If this woman does not get the nomination, she will take down Obama and the party together along with her. I used to respect the Clintons but not anymore. By any chance if she gets the nomination, this will the first time in my life that I and my family will vote for McCain.

I see ,all of Hillary Supporters are as rude,bitter,angry,hateful,and negative as she is.Obama has not attacked,but pointed out some very inconvenient truths about Hillary that her old racist white woman do not want to here.

LOL, it is so funny that most of us pictured that song when this commentary mentioned that Obama brushed it shoulders off. Ha Ha I hear the beat in my head as I am typing. The O-Train Express is coming around the mountain. ALL ABOARD!!!!

Oh yeah Sen Obama! Was your hand paralyzed in the debate yesterday? Or was it your mouth?

To "jes" and the other "elitist" Obama bashers. Please enlighten us with your wisdom and help us understand how you came to the conclusion that Obama is "arrogant and pompous". Are you saying that millions of us are to stupid to see this?

Obama '08

It is time for Hillary to step asided and allow Obama to unite the nation. As much energy as her campaign uses to think of ways to belittle and degrade Obama, perhaps that time would be better spent on how to bow out gracefully. The "win at all costs" approach is not working for her.

IM SO IN LOVE WITH THIS GUY AND HIS STYLE OF POLITICS

OUT WITH THE OLD, IN WITH THE NEW!!!

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

PREACH, OBAMA!!!!

"I...dust 'em off....I dust 'em off." ~Jay-Z, "On the rock"

He's exactly right. Debates ARE Hillary's element because she can back up her proposals with facts and details and not empty promises of hope.

"typical to say the least......"

Watch out for the Obama sock puppets!

Angus McDugan is also Realistic, Bob Stephens and Oh! The Irony are all the same guy!

geez, this just looks so arrogant, the man has serious chip on his shoulder and he seems just too dismissive on everything.

Obama acts like a kid in the school yard. He goes for personal insults, like calling Hillary Annie Oakley, or has his surrogates dis her and when she says anything about his past, character or shady dealings with Rezko, Ayers, Wright, etc., he goes crying "Mommy, Hillary's being mean to me, stop her from being so negative, she's doing politics as usual, wah, wah, wah.'"

I really want this guy as my president.
I heard an news journalist once say he would make the coolest President of all time. SHo U Right!!!

OBAMA!!!!!!!!!

The news media is really going to be on his back now, because he insulted their strategy. George Stephanopuolis is a friend of Shawn Hannity's of FOX news who hates Obama. I am sure you've seen him foaming at the mouth whenever he discusses Obama. So, Shawn hounded George into asking those questions last night especially the Ayers question( which was totally irrelavent to anything) because he has been trying to get that story out into the mainstream media (since no one with INTELLIGENCE and decency watchs FOX News) . George asked those questions to throw Barack off of his game. Which they did because if I thought I was going to a debate and not a "tabloid questioneer" I would have been distracted by those idiotic questions. Why don't you wear an American flag pen????

When gas is costing 4.00 per gallon people are loosing their homes and there is a war going on that is killing thousands of our TROOP!!!!! I would have been thrown off because my mind would have been thinking. ARE THEY CRAZY??? Barack is not a man who takes nonsense very well he is a man who came to do a job and not to play silly politics. Also George Stephanopoulis is friends with the Clintons because he was the news anchor on Whitehouse hill when Bill was the president so again was this a fair debate?

H E DOUBLE HOCKEY STICKS NOOOOO!!!!

And if I were him I wouldn't do another debate so that she and her Republican friends can get another chance to try to lynch me!!!!
But given the unfair cicumstance I think he did very well because I would have lost my cool.

Hillary was in her element all that negativity made her feel right at home. The shameful part is that it did a dis-service to the people of Pennsylvania. The mediators had their own agenda in mind, I notice that they all have a hard on for Barack is it because no matter what they do he rises above it? Also I am sick of the media speaking for me I can speak for myself ... Thank You very much

Please don't be mad media. Post my comment

Jes

Puhleeeze! He will run circles around hillary and mccain any day. I'll bet my paycheck on it.

I just jumped ship from the sinking Hillary boat! This woman is too controversial. I will support a woman in the mold of Margaret Thatcher, Golda Mier as President and not this joke!
OBAMA 08!!!!!

Obama will not win because he is black. The republicans will eat him alive in the general election.

Yeah, exactly!

Every time she opens her mouth, I feel like I need to run and take a shower.

I like Joe Lieberman. He doesn't toe the complete party line (I wish more politicians would do more thinking for themselves), and now, he's not encumbered by any party, and still won his seat.

RINO and DINO aren't bad things...they're steps in the right direction.

And here I thought Wolf Blitzer was a shallow talking head! Those clowns Charlie Gibson and George (I love my Clintons) Stephenopoulos set a new record for shallow pandering. And Hillary just stuck the knife deeper. It's a pity Obama's so resectful of his fellow democrat. She deserves to have her pant suit sullied for all the mud she's slung. By the way, where were her lapel pins last night?

Go Hillary! Si podemos.

Fight on!

Way to go! I am sick and tired of Clinton's tactics. I am so happy that ALL polls say Obama won the debate lynching that ABC planned last night with the help of Clinton's pain lyncher George.

Stop this woman before she does further damage! I am a Clinton supporter but what I saw last night has made me change my mind. She is just full of half-truths and negatives.
OBAMA 08!!!

Obama has admitted to liking Jay-Z. He is just 46. He was young when Hip Hop became popular. I think this is why the young people like him; he is a breath of fresh air...faults and all.

Obama 08

his performance last night was poor. and he feels picked on....you really think he is up for the job..complaining he was picked on.....just see the articles today on real clear politics...

Love the Obama-Attitude:

- positive
- patience
- sense of humor

We have a brilliant candidate and a campaign to be proud of as we move forward to electing him the 44th President of the United States.

Obama '08

Tyrone Brown
37th Legislative District State Delegate / Obamacrat
Seattle, WA

haha that was funny to watch.

Perhaps we should off Obama a pillow. Sen Clinton knows where she wants to take this country and just how she wants to do it.

I simply cannot believe the same with Sen Obama, he seems really out of his element when he has to actually answer a question.

Every time Obama opens his mouth he sinks himself further.

I have good news for Hillary supporters turning away from supporting Obama. There is a undercurrent of support building for McCain among Latinos (Mexican-Americans) in Los Angeles.

Hillary is my first choice, McCain is my second and I WILL NEVER vote for Obama!!

If this guy can't take a shot from Clinton, how is he going to make it through November..He seems like a weak cry baby to me.

New article here says Obama wants to campaign not debate. That's because he cannot debate like Clinton can and he is running away with his tail between his legs. Did he even answer a question last night? If he can't debate against Clinton he will surely be eaten up by McCain if he gets the nomination. Last night's debate was the first one that I actually enjoyed. It touched on topics that people DO want to hear about. And last night we learned more about what a HYPOCRITE OBAMA is.

this obama dude is getting more and more street fighters campaign tones with no respect to voters .. he showed the nasty and impolite attitutdes infront the camera as drag queen failed to reach the finalist.. best way is to send him back to where he belonged.. radical trinity church so he can be happy with his UNCLE.. wright.. lol..

Those of you who dont know, Hillary was a republican, comes from a prominent republican family, and switched to dem around the time she married Bill. Its no surprise that she plays dirty...its in her blood. By the way, their marriage was a marriage to benefit each other. politically.

That's a good one !

Go on BRUSH YOUR SHOULDERS OFF! Tooooooooooooooooooooo FUNNY! I can just hear the music now! LOL!!

OBAMA '08

He IS a dirty politician. I commend both moderators and ABC last night for standing up to the liberal media and saying we're not going to take it anymore. This bias against Hillary. The ABC debate was one of the most useful debates yet. His connections with the weather underground group and Wright ARE issues that need to be dealt with. If he can't handle these questions how can he stand up to the Republicans? He scored an F in this debate, slightly worse than his D's in the last two debates.

Jes, your comment tells me that you don't know the meaning of "intelligence" and "well educated." Please tell me which of the Presidents had previous experience with being a President before they were elected? At least he has the courage to run for the President of the United States and if is an arrogant & pompous man, more power to him because it will take an arrogant individual to turn this country around after having a "patsy" of the current President.

Obama's just rubbing himself from that beating he took from Hillary on ABC last night. He's mad because last night was not a cake walk for him. Obama is not use to a fair debate.

What will Hillary tell us next? That she was born to a mixed race couple and raised by a single mom? I wish I could says that I was amused by how during last night's debate Hillary plagiarized every one of Obama's popular positions as her own. All of a sudden now SHE was the one who had shown that she can work across party lines to bring people together to move the country forward. Shameless how she will say anything to get elected.

I saw the debate, and that's not what I saw! However, I understand the bias media. Wow, the Republicans will do anything not to run against Clinton...........McCain here you come!

Yes, get that dirt (Clinton) off your shoulders. OBAMA 08'

Brush her off Obama! Billary is reaching a new low. she is desparate so she is going to try anything. She feels she is so entitled to this nomination b/c of all she has been through. She has been embarressed more than once so she just needs to go somewhere and really bake some cookies!

It looks that we are all in agreement. ALL politicians LIE. That is why they do. Now let us move into analyzing the candidates SPECIFIC PROPOSALS of what it is that they will do if elected (like those of Senator Clinton)—NOT WHO HAD THE BIGGEST DREAM, which was actually not even his (like that of Senator Obama).

LoL Funny as Heck! Its one of those you had to be there moments..

Obama 08

To Jeff Radun,

My God, anyone with good sense would condescend to that entire ABC Clintonesque Debacle. Get a sense of humor bud and stop being so pissed at the Uppity Nig–r.

That's what you really want to say, right.

How arrogant and dismissive of the "female" candidate. I have just had enough of this Senator's dismissive attitude toward Sen Clinton. I don't understand how all you Obama supporters can not see that SHE attacks him on his own words and actions, while HE attacks her personally as if she is some kind of idiot. It is disgusting. I will never vote for this arrogant SOB.

Hillary is done. Obama is gaining more and more support by the day. People have finally figured out that Hillary is a liar and just as bad as the republicans.

Obama08

Good for you Barack Obama, "Don't Sweat the Small Stuff" because in the END, it is all Small Stuff, and You have Too Many Situations, and Wars to fight, to get STUCK in The MUDD!

GO OBAMA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Dorothy Smith

"Wipe me down"

You gotto get the dirt off...

Last two PA polls:

Zogby 4/15 – 4/16 601 likely voters Clinton +3
PPP 4/14 – 4/15 1,095 likely voters Obama +1

Looks like we're in a dead heat. Hillary-ite bloggers, you need to take a step back and a deep breath. There are real reasons why this is happening. The train is leaving the station – there's plenty of room for everyone.

Obama '08 – Yes we can!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

That is funny!! Proud of you Obama!!!

OBAMA 08

Obama is showing his Hip Hop side, showing a Jay Z "Gone Brush Ya Shoulders Off" move. That was Jay Z's popular song. "Get That Dirt Off Your Shoulders". He knows the haters are out in full force but he isn't new to the game. So don't hate the player or the game, hate the son of a " " that came up with the game.

It was hillarious.

Wish we could bush her out of the USA.

I love how Obama says we need to stop all the negativity! Then about 2minutes later he says When McCain and the Republican attack him with all they have, he'll attack them with even more!!! hahaha What a hypocrit. He's lost a lot of respect from me, and i liked him!!, since the debate last night. He knows he screwed up last night and Hillary dominated, was commanding, and was Presidential and he's running scared trying to cling to his last hope of "defeating old washington" when he'd do the same thing "old washington" does. He thinks he lives in a plastic bubble and no one is allowed to attack him.
Hillary has my complete support after the past two days. Clinton '08!!!

According to Obama, change comes from bottom up, not top down, and he represents change.
But he wants to be on the top! Isn't it funny? He should go to the bottom to make change there.
Fake!

How dare you Clinton supporters accuse Obama of being condescending and arrogant. Your candidate has shown at every opportunity how condescending and arrogant and untrustworthy she is. Read the polls you fools. We will never support another Clinton and we will work to defeat her if she is the nominee. She deserves no forgiveness for the campaign she has run and you Clintonites are Hypicrotes.

This is exactly what he needs to do. These ridiculous claims by Hillary and McCain have nothing to do with the issues, and the public's ability to get suckered in by these infantile tactics is really beyond me.

Mark your calendar – May 6th. When Barack pummels her in North Carolina and edges her out in Indiana, Hillary's gonna have to waive the white flag.

THAT DEBATE WAS A JOKE ! YOU WOULD DO RIGHT TO JUST BRUSH HER OFF OBAMA!!
I THOUGHT IT WAS JUST ME, LOOK AT THIS YOUTUBE VIDEO FROM BRIAN & JUDGE: BARACK OBAMA HAD TO DEBATE BOTH HILLARY & ABC NEWS!

This is an outstanding reply! Way to go Obama.

Like Jay-Z says, "You gotta get that dirt off your shoulder"

Obama 08

Too cool.

jes April 17th, 2008 4:27 pm ET

And while your asking someone to wake up when will you and Hillary stop dreaming that their is any possibility that she could win.

HILLARY CAN NOT BE TRUSTED...BOTTOM LINE.

SMIRK AND EYES TELL IT ALL.

i love it! the politics of the past,are over,and barack is going to keep brushing off the dust,of the grid-lock-the-gov't,challengers, to his 'message of change'.OUT WITH THE OLD!!!!finally the 21st century has made it to the USA!!

This is funny as hell! You can get the whole story if you check out the Huffington Post!

Hillary....It is about time to say Good Bye.

No more donation to your campaign.

I agree stick with issues. ABC gave Hillary a chance to point her finger all night. I am tired of the debates. Please pick a nominee (Obama), and let's focus on McCain. By Hillary staying in the race she really is hurting the party. I would not be surprised if she were McCain's VP pick.

You're right Obama. I am with you and for you

Am I the only person who recognizes the INCREDIBLE ARROGANCE of Barak Obama? He is leagues BEYOND ELITIST! He really must believe he can walk on water!!

Obama is acting immature. Obama acts like questioning him in any fashion is some kind of OLD POLITICS. He accepts us to believe he is a new politician. I don't buy it. He was caught in several lies last night and he will pay for them as journalists scratch their heads and think about the debate more. He also affirmed his fundalmental misunderstanding of religion. I know the Pope's presense most make that clear. We do not love God out of bitterness or frustration, Ok.

Obama is a actor
Not Presedential Material

Just once can this man take responsibility for his mistakes and failures. He stunk last night, couldn't answer questions and now is whinning. One good thing is that after a national election this man will be forced to remain in Illinois where he can live rather well with all the money he has made promoting his book in this illusion called a campaign.

Obama ............. Brush that dirt off your shoulder, you know what dirty tricks you and your friends have done!

I am so glad that he remains focused after that farce of a debate last night. I can only hope that the delegates are paying attention and get off their duffs and get behind Obama. The petty old politics of Clinton's needs to be stopped.

EXCELLENT!

YOU KNOW...I'm so sick of them trying to call Obama negative. Americans who read are not stupid. He is calling Hillary out based on her LYING. She's a compulsive liar and distorter of the truth. So if she can't take the truth...leave him the freak alone then.

"Something that the media's not talking about is the FACT that Hillary's superdelegate GAP has been closed on significantly….She only has a 19 member superdelegate lead."

I didn't realize this! That is really news.
He's less than 400 delegates from the nomination...

GO OBAMA! BRUSH YA SHOULDERS OFF!!!

kEEP PUSHING....THEY ARE ON THE ROPES!!!!

YES WE CAN!!!

You cant help but Love this man! He is a true fighter and given his race there is no doubt he has endure much much more than we know – like recent reports of a Kentucky congress man who called him 'boy' and we all know that a racist condecending comment.
Hats off and kudos – for that reason he will win this Presidency!
It will be a very tight race in PA and my vote is for Sen. Obama.
Bring Decency and Integrity back to the White House!
P.S. He got 6 superdelegates now from NC – Niceeeeee!!!!!

Okay, So as a Clinton Supporter I still have to say this:
Obama looked SEXY as hell when he did that. OMG. Hillary could never have pulled that off. She's too traditional, but at least she'll get the job done.
Hillary 08

To Jes,
poor thing...you are so bitter! These For Hillary bloggers make very mean comments with no basis at all! Why are you guys so mean? I'll pray for you.

Obama 08

Obama is the man!!

He just keeps on impressing.
Thank god he's got the courage and will to put us on the path.

Barack, you've got my vote and gratitude.

It's time to get to the issues that are going to put money in our pockets, food on the table or gas in the tank!!!

Maybe we can come and live with the media, they are the ony ones making any money selling ad time!!!

How many times do we have to put up with these alleged debates. They have turned into nothing more than shooting galleries. You have to bear in mind that, with Clinton's rapidly diminishing financial support, the tv debate is an excellent way for her to reach an audience.
Obama is right in wanting to get down to actually campaigning, meeting people, explaining his views face-to-face. Clinton's "fighter" stance on tv is so patently put on that it is comical. One can almost hear the sniper fire.
No more debates, please!

Join the Obama train and see how much more positive you feel about going to vote, it's a movement the right direction. How depressing it must be to vote against change, or against positive campaigning. The other day I saw on CNN a 60 year old women who said she wouldn't vote for Obama because she doesn't believe that things in Washington can change, it was so sad that people who have lived through enormous changes in America have lost hope. Obama is trying to change that, he has said he isn't perfect but that the campaign is about changing Washington not personal attacks or gottcha politics. The political system is supposed to empower the people and bridging the divisons that have been created in Washington to stop people from getting things done.

Is it me or do these two resemble the Road Runner and Wiley Coyote!
Barack (the road runner) is running from state to state and Clinton (Wiley coyote) is doing everything to try to stop him! She orders her recent supplies of sinks and other equipment from ACME to get the Road Runner. But in the end it all back fires and winds up landing on top of her!

Think about it! Beep Beep!

The fact is Barack can't handle it!
I'm a republican, but i now am thinking of switching to vote for Hillary. I did notice that she was running a some what negative campaign, and i honored Obama for not. But, now she is the one with a good campaign, all that comes out of Barack and his Campaign, is nonsense.
Barack Obama is now OVER the edge with the negativity, if i could meet him right now i would say "Knock it off." America wants a change and what Obama is going to bring is a horrible change!

But, it stinks for Hillary, because now she can't have debates with him, because he doesn't want to have them.

For being a Jay- Z fan, and all of this big gangsta talk , Obama sure is scurr'd of being on the stage debating her again! Way to put him in his place Hillary!
If you cant take the fire, get outta the streets! HIllary is the real OG.
Hillary '08-'16!!!!

Obama is brilliant, entertaining, thoughtful, sincere, and yes, imperfect. He will be known as one of our greatest presidents.

For the record, he was brushing off the "gotcha" attacks and not Senator Clinton.

CNN, we have had enough of your and the other media outlets political games...report the facts, not your opinions.

Obama 2008!

He made that comment about the first 45 minutes because, ooops, it was not in his favor. Nana boo boo Obama. He continues to say he won't play the same dirty politics of going negative but he made it a point to do just that – HYPOCRITE! And, oh yeah, he also said last night that he disowned Rev. Wright, was I dreaming?

lol i want to see this again ,see you their doing the jay-z dance,show them how to do it.

Yikes...watch this clip. He's getting dangerously close to Wright-like delivery with an audience that looks increasingly boisterous. I don't understand how this type of frivolous rhetoric is going to help him. Maybe I'm wrong and this type of delivery is what America wants. I hope I'm wrong...I'm just worried.

YES WE CAN
OBAMA '08

I didn't see a debate, I saw a debacle. Stephanopoulos and Gibson, a pair of disappointments, played Let's Get Barack for 51 minutes, and Hillary showed the depth of her nastiness. Someone should start questioning her "thirty-five years of experience." Obama won by being upright at the end.

Senator Clinton is the best qualified for the positiion of President.
When are Obama supporters going to start seeing this.
If Obama is the Democratic candidate, the Democrats will lose the election.
There is no way that McCain is going to ignore:
Reverend Wright's remarks about "typical white" people of God D..America
Michelle Obama's not being proud of our country
Obama acting like an "elitist"
Ties to Rezko and underground weatherman radical, William Ayers

Please wake up Democrats.
Please wake up!

Thanks Hillary!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Go Obama! Great way to tell ABC that 45 minutes was wasted on old news! As a supporter I really want to say thanks to Hillary and her family and friends and her supporters----- This train is still rolling and picking up steam! Hillary only makes herself look bad!
I love the video Obama!

He made that comment about the first 45 minutes because, ooops, it was not in his favor. Nana boo boo Obama. He continues to say he won't play the same dirty politics of going negative but he made it a point to do just that. And, oh yeah, he also said last night that he disowned Rev. Wright, was I dreaming?

The Republicans will have the last laugh in November. You can shrug and shake all you want , but you have been exposed and the Republicans will have no reservations using your own words to show that you are not fit to be President. Hillary is still trying to be nice and polite so as not to offend the Democrats that put food on her table.

Har! Great! Go Get her OBAMA!!!! Don't back off just give them all you got.

Obama gets stomped in the debate and he carelessly brushes it off like sand from the playground.

I wonder if he has the same idea for America when we get stomped out of the Middle East under his leadership??

What arrogance!!! Last night's debate was by far the hardest one for Obama thusfar. He was asked pointed questions about things that have surfaced about him since the last debate, I would have liked to have heard more questions about issues and how either candidate would take on McCain in the General Election but you can't have everything.
With the news stories that have come out shows a side of Obama that voters haven't seen yet this primary season & they touched on his character (which is important). Voters were already duped by one candidate that appealed to the beer drinkers so much so you voted him TWICE, you believed his speeches when he said he was going to go Washington and change how things are done. Well he sure changed things & not for the better.
What I am most concerned about is the "open mouth insert foot" syndrome that Obama seems to suffer from. How many times now has the media broke a story about some demeaning comment he made and his response is "well it was not what I meant to say" or "they misunderstood my intentions" (I'm paraphrasing). HELLO!!! with the state of unrest in the world at this time with so many crazy zealots waiting for any excuse to unleash their weapons on us or our Allies we can't afford to have a Commander in Chief who cannot speak what he means & mean what he speaks–it is too dangerous. What happens if he has a meeting with Iran or North Korea and he says something stupid?
I am glad to see that the kid gloves are coming off some the news media where Obama is concerned I'm just afraid it is too late to make a difference in this primary.

There you go Obama get the dirt of your shoulders and move on.

BARACK OBAMA...2008!
INTEGRITY MATTERS!

Who doesn't want to have a beer with this guy?

Get ..Billary..off out shoulder LOL Go Obama. I gotta see the video

The debate allowed both candidates to address issues that were swirling around the campaigns. Instead of offering Senator Obama a pillow...Charlie, George and some video taped citizens asked some tough questions. Questions it turns out that Senator Obama was less than prepared to answer. When both candidates share 95%+ of the same philosophies....this is bound to happen. Senator Obama is right...in the previous issue debates...he said many times...I agree with Senator Clinton. Senator Obama should watch some of the Republican debates....John McCain will give him no quarter.

its called

They just cant get to him. If Hillary's campaign did this to McCain, OH MY GOD", his head would have exploded.

speaking off,

HOW COME CNN IS SO EASY ON McCAIN?

WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU PEOPLE?

GO OBAMA CHANGE I CAN BELEIVE.

He sounds like a poor loser! NOBAMA –NOWAY, NOHOW!!!

You Go OBAMA ! I'm a fan to. Get that dirt off your shoulders.

How do you cover your lousy & amateurish answers on last nite debate? Grow up Obama! You look so inferior to HILLARY last nite!

It will be a waste of talent, experience & wisdom if we will not give HILLARY a chance to lead this great nation! She is the master of the game!

He's getting to the point where any tabloid-esque controversy turns to benefit him because it emphasizes the point that he is not your average politician, but dedicated to CHANGE.

The GOP is going to launch attacks that are only going to help him.

OK OBAMA BE NICE OR I WILL VOTE FOR MCSAME / SPECTER 08

OBAMA/HILLARY 08

Arragance is showing more and more...stop being a baby what are you going to do when you go against Mcain cry?

Hillary you did a grat job yesterday!

Nice... remember to change the air filter, it will be clogged with dust now

Negative attackes in this campaign will not put food on the table for those Americans who need help, nor will it solve the gigantic world problem that is effecting us globally – global warming, declining dollar resulting in high cost of importation, home crisis, energy crisis with record setting oil prices, wars, etc.

I wish that people should speak out againt irrelivant discusions and quickly point out to the perpetrators that the era of negative mud slinging is over. That we need a different kind of politics where issues are discussed, so that people will be informed and make a decision on who will earn thier vote.

He is so right, clinton is nothing more than an annoying fly to him right now. Just brush that fly off your shoulder.

Obama thinks he has the nomination and presidency coming to him. Well Obama, its just not your turn. Do a little more grunt work in the political arena and maybe you will be ready. You have already, unfortunately, become tiresome. Keep your day job in the Congress, do work for someone other than yourself and then give it a chance.
You remind me of children that need to be sent to their room...you shoud go to your room and learn that you are not the gift to the universe as you seem to imply. But someday you might be.

Hopefully he will still be as good at brushing things off next year, when John McCain is the President of the United States..

Obama, if you can't take the heat from Hillary Clinton, then you will be in for a shock come the general election.

I cannot believe how wimpy Obama is.

I loved yesterdays debate. He was finally asked hard questions and Mr Slick Orator stumped on several. The longer this primary holds on the more Obama is exposed so I have Hillary and her supporters to thank for that.

Ilove this guy. Positive no matter how difficult it gets!

Obama will defeat the McCain-Clinton ticket!

Go Obama.....gaints do die the bigger they are the harder they fall.
Oh she is going to fall........get walk you're walk BUDDY we got your back. Oh when the day comes and they all have to answer to you as MR. PRESD. WHAT A JOYOUS DAY THAT WILL BE
OBAMA OBAMA 08

I am 21 year old student at Yale. Barack's ideal demographic. Over the course of the campaign, I've found him to be despicable. His hypocrisy is more cringe-worthy than Clinton's blatant lying. He was the first candidate to go negative, and hasn't held back in terms of negative advertising, and yet he's the new kind of politics? He's the worst kind of politician, because his deceit is of the most insidious variety. He postures himself as if he is above it all, when he is just part of the problem. His brush-off is about as condescending as it gets.

Yep! David Plouffe, is so right that garbage yesterday night, sorry I mean debate was so one-sided and pro-Hillary, it was sickening to watch. Moron Charlie Gibson and Little George Stephanoupolis you both are a disgrace and should be both fired for giving such bias and shameful performance. ABC should never host another debate NEVER, they are out of there league, I honestly thought I was watching the FOX Network. Very disappointing, I got the email and I have already donated, Moron Charlie Gibson and Little George Stephanoupolis should also donate to Obama for wasting our time last night! Shame on you ABC!

Our President Obama 08' & 12'

"The person that can't dance says the band can't play".....Obama in a nutshell....:)
GO HILLARY!

Go Obama!!!!

Now that is HYSTERICAL!!! Go Obama!!

As one of many American's I feel Barack did fine. He tried to be as positive as possible with an opponent that is as negative as possible. He could have brought up all the BS that has been printed in the news lately but he took the higher road. I wish Clinton would try that for a change.

OBAMA 08

Bo Obama! This is great! Thanks Hillary and Bill and ABC – you are providing Obama with great pratice! He is going to be a once in a life time president and a great world leader!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The digs must have hurt because you are still crying about them today

Obama 08!

The debates were a joke. Why did Stephanoplous get to be a moderator when he worked for Bill Clinton's white house as the press secretary? Seems odd.

And why was Chelsea in a literal spot light and no one was spot lighted for Obama?

And why no questions about Mark Penn, Bill's foriegn income, the Ohio story (the girl had insurance), etc....

Hmm....something wierd about that.

But Obama did very well. Forceful, to the point, clear, and yet calm and a gentlemen. A real leader and frankly refreshing.

Obama 08!

Good for him!!!

ABC and Charles Gibson should be ashamed for last night's debate. I just wasted 45 minutes of my life listening to "he said, she said" crap! No one cares (anymore) about the Rev Wright, Hillary in Bosnia, and some bomb maker Obama knows that was blowing stuff up in protest when he was 4 years old. C'mon now! Is this the best you guys can do? ABC should never do another debate. Just leave it to the pros on Cable (CNN or MSNBC!! But not FOX. We all know where they stand...lol)

Thats right Obama: Take a lickin and keep on tickin!

When you attack the truth it make you the lair. HRC exit stage left and let the real President through.

Chicago

Hell, I had to brush that dirt off my shoulders and I am 1,000 miles away.

Texans for Obama

He's so afraid of everything...the only thing he can do is write a good speech using mostly OTHER people's words....cracks me up....

Hey CNN....look up the definition of literally. Or was Hillary Clinton literally sitting on Barack's shoulders?

Obama is trying to focus on Hillary being negative because he has yet to give solid answers on Wright (who this past week said white supremecy is in the DNA of this country (apparently missed that and all the other comments), Rezko, Ayers(who held a fundraiser for him before which is much more than being on a board together), comments on religion/guns/bitterness, typical white people, various other connections...

what does it take for people to really see them for who he is?

Hillary '08 and if not her....McCain.

Can Obama beat McCain? YES! YES! YES!

If the debates are with ABC no....I prefer Russert or Cnn or even Fox...but ABC is done with debates. Also, what can they say that I haven't heard from the last 21 debates....besides these debates aren't even talking about the issues anymore.

He' right! Old school politics is of the past and the American people, besides the baby boomers, are ready for a change.

The baby boomers had their chance and blew it big time.....

he would do the same thing if he was behind

HOVVVVvvvvvv....Obama 08'
Never mind the politics of the old, we need to get on and stop wasting time, energy, money and Bitter words on another DEM because 'someone' cant see the writing on the wall!
Btw does anyone know what the REP do if they were in a close-tie situation b/c I dont believe they have SupaDelgs to keep a candidate's hope alive...jus wondering

It's been really hard on him lately.

Cry baby Obama!!

Just wait the fun is about to begin if you get the nomination!!

What a loser!

YOU GOT BEAT !!!
-NICE TRY AT SPINNING THIS ONE...
THE MAN CANT TAKE THE HEAT!!!

TAKE YOUR BEATING LIKE A MAN INSTEAD OF CRYING ABOUT IT

YOU WILL LOSE BC THE TELEPROCTOR WONT ALWAYS BE THERE FOR YOU TO READ.

HILLARY IS STRONGER THAN YOU COULD EVER BE

Hillary- McCain '08

Keep brushing Obama, everything Clinton said was true.

Obama supporters are soooo upset because their golden boy got alittle taste of what the bias has been doing to Clinton for months now
and they cannot handle the truth.

Every question that was asked to Obama last night was a question
America has been waiting for , but still didn't get the truth.

No Flag
Will not put his hand over his heart when the National Anthum is played
Rev, Wright...No matter how much good that church does, it does not
alter the fact that those people sat there and came back after the anti
american sermon he gave week after week..NO EXCUSE OBAMA you
stuck with him for 20 years, and in your book you said he was you
mentor and last night you denied it.

He’s so arrogant... what you Obama kool aid drinkers see in this man I do not understand... We have learned anything from George W? Another failure president that America can't afford...

If you're feeling like a PIMP!

HAIL TO THE CHIEF

You're shoulders need to be Broad, to carry the Load.... Elite???
Who's going to carry you're excess Baggage?.. After November!!

He’s so arrogant... what you Obama kool aid drinkers see in this man I do not understand... We have learned anything from George W? Another failure president that America can't afford... no way, no how... just say no!!!

"GO ON BRUSH YA SHOULDAS OFF!"

Yes! I see a music video on the horizon.

hahahahaha......... OMG....... All that hillary's work last night and last couple of weeks goes down the drain in one sentence......... Boy, this guy is talented!

I want this guy as my president!

we need to brush off the entire clinton clan and start thinking about the mess our country is in. the clintons can go back to arkansas and raise pigs,or is that raise money from pigs, or is it be pigish on money from NAFTA–i get confused in my old age. Who was that being shot at while winner the Medal Of HONOR-HONOR-now that's rich.

I hope he doesn't go overboard with the negativity,it's still 2 months til she concedes.

Good for Obama! And he is right the debate was a disgrace. I know I wasn't interested in rehashing Hillary's Bosnia lie or who was on the board with a former terrorist-turned-literature-professor!!

"The person that can't dance says the band can't play".....Obama in a nutshell....
Why is he soooo mad? I loved the person in his audience who asked him how he could stand up to the republicans when he got creamed last night

Hillary has been treated worse for the entire campaign....he can't take ONE night of tough questions about HIS OWN ACTIONS? And he wants to be president? Can someone explain how he would handle the job if he can't handle questions without getting upset?
Boy, he is really pathetic.....what a baby....
There had NOT been a debate since his pastor and the bigot remarks came to be....The questions needed to be asked in the debate forum. He was weak and irritated....he really looked bad. I guess that's why he doesn't want any more debates...how funny
GO HILLARY!!!

He's amazing! Shows Clinton up for the petty and spiteful person that she is. We need a President that we can respect.

Obama 08

He's become so numb and rightly so, remove the dirt from your shoulder.

I saw the video. He looked so stiff when he tried to do it. He is not a good dancer. Well Barack, "Ladies is pimps too, gone brush your shoulders off" because Hillary pimped you throughout the debate!!! LMBAO!!!

That is why I love Obama so much. How can anyone be so willing to go on and not retaliate. I would have but he has so much character. PS I would not care if he did retaliate at this point and put her down.
Go OBAMA!

CNN, stop twisting facts. He was "brushing off" smears and "gotcha" politics. The headline is deceiving.

V Child,

When I saw the clip...I thought that Jay-Z called him on last nights debate. It was a funny cool clip of Barack being chill.

That's right, Barack. Brush it off, keep it movin, address the issues. That's why you're the best candidate BY FAR!

Obama '08

You must love and believe in the American dream to claim it.
You Obama lack both.
How arrogant of him.

No kidding. When will the MSM realize that people don't care about this stupid stuff? What The People care about is the Constitution, torture, Iraq, and the worst situation any president in recent history has ever had to face.

Fantastic Speech in NC today, we are very proud of you Barack.

LOL!!!! Love it!!!

HEAR HEAR!!

That excuse for a Debate last night turned us all off and once again proved that integrity and fairness has gone by the wayside.

If those Moderators were sitting right NEXT to Hillary it would have been more obvious whos side they were on.

ABC has lost me for Life. I need to Trust my news source to be just that INFORMATION. Obama DID come out of this with alot. I see Thousands of poepl who say it the same way saying how well he dealt with it. How is does it I don't know , I would have said something right there on the stage.

BUT Hillary shot herself ( Again) and She had to admit he CAN win.

"The person that can't dance says the band can't play".....Obama in a nutshell.....
Hillary has been treated worse for the entire campaign....he can't take ONE night of tough questions about HIS OWN ACTIONS? And he wants to be president? Can someone explain how he would handle the job if he can't handle questions without getting upset?

GO HILLARY!!!

Obama being glib again. Style over substance. Don't address tough topics...just do something slick.
This guy isn't ready to be leader of our county.

Way to go Obama. Just dust her and her lies off. She is nothing but a dirty little pest. Keep on going..Ameiica loves you and wants you in the Whitehouse

he is right. He is the front runner and needs votes of all democrats. he doesnt need to attack Clinton and let her attack him. anyway, after two months she is stepping down. but with rupublicnas he has to roar like a lion.

Watching her expressions last night, while she described her growing up, and the way she looked up and kept doing that thing with her eyes -- anybody else see it. Wow. Too bad it was more like a court room than a debate.

I think they should have another debate, but allow the Democratic Party to pick the mediators from undecided Super D's. They'll hit on the issues that matter. Let's talk politics – I'm for Obama, but I thought HRC did quite well answering "political" questions (better than BO), and was only hurt by them going hard at Obama.

Hated it when Jerky one mediator apologized for not giving equal time, and she giggled and smiled her cheesy smile, "I was wondering too"....Bull Butter !!! She was loving it!

Anybody else getting drained !!!!! Best reality TV on cable these last 6 months !!!!!

This is the reason people like Obama.......This is the type of things parents tell their children to do when being pushed around by bullies.

GO OBAMA '08

Definitely not a gentleman or a statesman! Sen. Obama likes to pretend that he's above it all while making all the "digs" that he can – in his arrogant, condescending, elitist way! No hope for the democrats if he's on the ticket in November.

Former democrat

Arrogant or elitist- you choose the word. The man actions show thinks he's better than most and last night it really came through.
His answers were civil, his demeanor calm but he seemed as though every question and the whole act of being there was something of an imposition.
GWB had a bit of that before he was elected and it came out even stronger when he was sworn in. We can only wait and see how far Obama's ego will expand should he win. At least with Hillary Mccain we know where there personality defects are.

Wow, Hillary is being blamed for Obama's wounded ego! His brushing of the shoulders looks really school yard. She did not ask the questions. It is about time that Obama learn what it is like to be hardballed. He is not a victim...he is a presidential candidate. He's starting to look really wimpy, especially against a woman who can hold her own! Why doesn't he just rejoice in all the money his campaign will receive because he was so abused!!!!

thats right!!! BRUSH IT OFF!!!

thanks for the love taps Billary!!!

OBAMA 08!!

Hillary is a BITTER old sow, and it shows.

He talks big now, but was a total looser in the fight last night. He stumbled, fumbled and was down for the count.

Just kept patting Wright and Ayers on the back. Totally danced around his BITTER speech. He plays the same old politics, COOKIEGATE?
That happened over 15 years ago. All his issues are recent and just wait till the Sinclair and Resko fallout happens.

He did not even respond coherently to social security or the tax questions. I guess that's because today he has a script in front of him. The republicians will destroy his inexperienced, car salesman self.

More Educated Men should be employed into journalism. For a journalist to think that Americans are Dumb by playing Gotcha politics at this Economic turmoil means a lot of journalist cheat to graduate

Shge should save the time for duck hunting with Dick Cheney or maybe she could warm up with fishing.
She is just pathetic and not fit to lead. How can she tell so many time a false Bosnia story and not realize that it was not accurate? Is she smoking special things? Why did her clown and cheater of husband not correct her? He would for sure have known if there were really any snipes that day. That' s not something you forget, or did Hillary also erase any memories of Monica Lewinski? Very possible, maybe as a result of a special treatment.

Hillary has been treated worse for the entire campaign....he can't take ONE night of tough questions about HIS OWN ACTION? And he wants to be president? Can someone explain how he would handle the job?
Boy, he is really pathetic.....what a baby....
There had NOT been a debate since his pastor and the bigot remarks came to be....The questions needed to be asked in the debate forum. He was weak and irritated....he really looked bad. I guess that's why he doesn't want any more debates...how funny
GO HILLARY!!!

Obama knows Hillary is a tough opponent and understands her tactics well, it's good to have a laugh.

Oh I wish I could have seen that. I agree he needs to brush it off, because what doesn't kill you makes you stronger.

HOLLA....LOL

HAHAHAHAHA... OMG this man gotta be my president!!

yea Obama get her off your shoulders... soon!!! Pennsylvania its in you to end this up and let democrats finally concentrate on John McSame

. . . .Senator Obama should not lower himself to another debate with
Hillary Clinton.

Boy, he is really pathetic.....what a baby....
There had NOT been a debate since his pastor and the bigot remarks came to be....The questions needed to be asked in the debate forum. He was weak and irritated....he really looked bad. I guess that's why he doesn't want any more debates...how funny

Obama is great... love his sense of humor in times that would have many politicians looking for a dark corner. The footage indeed is very funny, what a contrast he and McCain will make to one another when they debate. He is quite frankly an amazing American story that has still to be written!

Obama for a better American and a better kind of politics.

Thank you Barack. Thank you for restoring my faith in America, politicians and the Democratic party.

Now...Hillary... Take your millions and retire. Pretty please!

I love it..."We can do all things through Christ who strengthens us"

Just shake her dirt off yourself and keep on going Obama!

The Clintons (and yes, Bill is deep in the dung) are truly more of the same.

Should have done that at the debate – Wake up, Obama. Rough ride ahead.

Where's the video, I gotta see this!

OBAMA '08

When are his supporters going to see how arrogant Senator Obama is! But worse than his condescending arrogance, is his whinny, everybody's ganging up on me attitude. Is he really that naive? I don't think so. My real concern is that he NEVER takes responsibility for anything! He is constantly placing blame on other people, circumstances, etc. I'm waiting to hear that the reason he bowled so badly is that Hillary was placing the pins wrong.

I think its time for the rest of Obama's dirt to come out and have him destroyed by the GOP. I'll love to watch him be the nominee so all of my fellow HIllary supporters can go vote for John McCain and watch him lose in shame.

We'll take last night debate as a lost without complaining. But what it does for the supporters of Obama is make us work harder....harder at registering new voters, harder at campaigning door to door, harder at putting our money where our future lies.

PA-April 22nd

but then ON TO THE BEAUTIFUL STATES OF NC & IN

May 6th.

FIRE IT UP AND YES WE ARE READY TO GO

LOVE IT ! !

Brush her off Obama. In fact, give me a broom and I'll sweep her out the back door! The video was awesome!

We need more Teflon!

Obama 2008

Meet Barack Obama, the next POTUS!

That is the way to handle things like a president! I wonder how come there is nothing in the ticker about the fact he has picked up 5 new endorsements including one the defected from DC because he was being hammered by the people whom elected him was 83% for Obama CNN is either running slow or something else is up! I just hope she goes out with some grace and dignity she deserves nothing of the sort after last night! a set up debate he went to knowing was a set up and he still went for the high road were Sen Clinton went straight for the gutter and stayed the rest of the night! He even let her slide on the Bosnia lie! that she finally said she was sorry for after all this time yet still refused to admit it was a lie!

Go Obama 08

Agreed! Let's get on with it. Overwhelming public support should already be convincing the not so super delegates to get off the dime and commit to the obvious front runner.
The debate was ridiculous and I am sick of the media garbage as in....
CNN's own headline of whether or not the elitist label will stick. Well, of course it will, if you continue to publish the headline day after day.
Give me a break!
Obama has once again proved his presidential qualifications to me.

So its really Hillary & Bill who are mocking (laughing) at their own supporters.

Hillary says, “To my supporters”,

I will tell you the Bosnia LIE. Did you fall for that one folks?

I will tell you my husband likes NAFTA and I don’t. Did you fall for that one folks?

I will tell you I am for everything positive that my husband Bill did and NOT the negatives. Did you fall for that one folks?

I will tell you I am the best bowler until someone (Ellen) really puts me to the challenge. Did you fall for that one folks?

I will tell you I did not have sexual relations with that woman. Did you fall for that one folks?

I will tell you that I was really the first person to criticize the Iraq war that I voted for. Did you fall for that one folks?

I will tell you all in every state/city that I was at your city/state when I was a kid and pretend I did every activity that state/city does. Did you fall for that one folks?

Brushing off his shoulders is big in the African American Community. He changes up everywhere he goes. He's black in North Carolina, He's rich in San Francisco and thinks people the rural areas are dumb.

Wow, Obama and his Obamites can dish it out but they sure can't take it. Even moveon.org is whining about ABC and what a bunch of meanies they were to Obama for daring to ask about the distracting issues that really aren't about the issues.

Sure, they aren't about the issues but, judging from the blogs, they continue to be distorted and exaggerated about both Clinton and Obama. The candidates deserved an opportunity to address them. Even yesterday morning, there was a letter about the flag pin nonsense in the local newspaper and Clinton's trip to Bosnia was exaggerated but there was substantial truth to the events. This sort of stuff needs to be put in its place.

I thought it was the best debate so far because the candidates were able to fully respond, follow-up, and even ask questions themselves. Viewers walked away with far more than sound bites. As so many Obamites have said about Chelsea, if you can't take the heat . . .

If Obama is our candidate in the fall, he'll look back on this debate as a walk in the park compared to what the Republicans will dish out.

I thought Obama was going to stay away from personal attacks. I thought he was the captain of the new way of doing things of change. He seems to be getting more and more negitive. What makes that ok now? Thoes of you supporting Obama is this OK? Can Obama be negitive and make personal attacks now that he is out in front? How do you all feel about the Kid Gloves that the media is using with Obama. What hapens when the republicas come out swining. They have no problem using anything at all. What has the media failed to cover/reveal in regards to Obama adn his past that will end up giving the Oval Office to the GOP. Don't you want to know. This happened once before and it gave us four years of Bush....Stop think ask!

It was a joke debate last night....I agree with Senator Obama that it took some 45 mintues before I heard anything that was of any important to this nation...this country...to me as an American. Seriously...the first 45 mins were a joke. I've heard the same stuff said at debates...its time to campaign...forget the debates...I could recite to the american people what both candidates would say

Getting pummeled in last night's debate is nothing compared what the Republicans will do to him if he is lucky enough to get the Democratic nomination. He shouldn't worry, he will have Cafferty covering his back.

yep he sure is a Jay-z fan. He once said it that he listens to some Jay-z tracks. I bet "Get..that..dirt of ur shoulders is one of his favorite tracks. He keeps brushing Hil off his shoulders but she just dont get it. It's like, theres something so good about him that Hils can't get enough of. After Obama beats Hils on tuesday, he should rename the month April to ObamApril.

Obama...Next President of the United States

Why should Senator Obama go in a DEBATE and find out that the debate will consist of 45 minutes of Bull Crap and 2 minutes on the issues... Doesn't make any sense to give Hillary any more opportunities to just go Negative...as a matter of fact that's where she lives....NEGATIVE LAND.....

Keep on Obama – expose the right, bring their tactics to the forefront which renders them virtually ineffective. I truly think his honesty on their tactics will put a target on him, but he's got the upper hand. This is where Kerry failed. He's got their number!

I LOOK FORWARD TO WATCH THE DEBATE BETWEEN OBAMA AND

MCCAIN.

Obama and his supporters are compalining about the debate last night. Wow, were was this integerity when Clinton was bashed in the last 20 debates. How hypocritical to start whining now, when all you Obama supporters have done nothing but bash Hillary over everything and anything. In the last four months I may have seen one nice Obama supporter who actually talked about issues, the rest of you have played gutter politics while claiming you want hope and change.

Obama is the front-runner. The questions asked were valid, even though he failed to answer anything directly.

So If you want to talk issues, I dare all Obama supporters to stop bashing Hillary and start telling us what Obama will do as President, and please not that tired line that he will bring us together..Do you even know where he stands on the issues?? I will say Clinton supporters know.

Obama: Close the deal for one big blue state like PA, I'll abandon HILLARY!

The Debate last nite showed that you are not even at par with HILLARY's experience & wisdom.

Obama was doing the "wipe me down" dance. LOL!

OBAMA 08!

Yeah.... I'll vote for him... that was a joke!

Hillary or McCain '08, experience counts!

OBAMA DIDN'T BRUSH OFF CLINTON HE ATTACKED HER

WITH HIS KNIFE STATEMENT–WHICH IS OUTRAGEOUS!!!

ALSO HE WHINED ABOUT THE DEBATE AND HIS SUPPORTERS ATTACKED ABC CHARLIE AND GEORGE,

WHICH THE MEDIA NEVER COVERED!

HIS CAMPAIGN DIDN'T COMPLAIN WHEN THE MEDIA ATTACKED HILLARY TWO WEEKS AGO -HIS CAMPAIGN PILE RIGHT ON IT!!!!!!

THEY DIDN'T SAY LET'S TALK ABOUT ISSUE.

AGAIN THE MEDIA STILL HAVEN'T COVER THE LIE OBAMA TOLD IN HIS BOOK ABOUT BEING RACIALLY AMBUSH!!!!!!

Obama = realest politician of all time

I love how Obama can just brush off these ludicrous attacks by Sen. Clinton! He can literally brush them off. Go Obama!

I also want to note that the debate moderated by Charles Gibson and George Stephanopolous was a sorry excuse for journalism and I love that Obama responded so forcefully today against the politics of old. Its time for us to focus on issues people actually care about.

Wait for the Clinton Campaign to claim that this gesture is "elitist" and "condescending"

I think Hillary won a Pyrrhic Victory yesterday. She won by points but probably did not win voters and might even have lost super delegates.

Chris Welch, learn how to accurately title your articles, because you give an inaccurate message: it's not that he brushed Clinton off his shoulder, as though he was demeaning her, but that he brushed her negative comments off his shoulder. These two sentenses may seem close, but they are worlds away in their interpretation. And while you're at it, remove that stupid link to "will the E word stick to Obama", you've had it up on your site for days now, and you seem determined to make it stick. What's up with CNN anyways?

Go Obama!
The dirt they were slinging at him in that debate, seemed as if they had taken questions from Fox News and Conservative talk radio! Who cares about the "elitist" comment! How can someone who had a summer cottage as a child, and has been financially stable know what we the working people are feeling? I want someone like Obama who knows what a student loan is and worked public service to help people and not make his resume look good!

I could only watch the debate for about 15 minutes. It was joke, what a pile of crap by ABC. Give me a break.

I'm not alone, drudge poll who won.

Obama = 57%
Hillary = 43%

I LOVE OBAMA!!!!!!!

ALL THE WAY TO THE WHITE HOUSE MAN!!!!!

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

Come on Hillary drop on out of the race and start supporting Senator Obama instead of tearing him down all the time!

Obama '08

That's right obama go ahead and brush your shoulder off, I'm glad that this subject is out know what else are they going come up with. go ahead and brush your shoulders off.

OBAMA 08

Get that dirt of your shoulders Barack!

Obama '08

And his remarks are not attacking? Talk about spinning illusions to America.
He has become an expert at delivering sarcastic remarks to deflect from his poor performance in last night's debate.
The shoulder flicking is so NOT Presidential.

"Brush the haters off..."

LOL!! Oh well.

Yes We Can & Yes We Should
Obama 08'

That video footage was great! That debate was pathetic.

YES WE CAN!

Obama '08!

Love it, love it, love it. I want to see the video footage. I'm sure it's on Youtube.

Obama '08 Yes We Can!

That was the problem with the knife that Hillary used last night, it was sharp on both ends. She didn't herself any favors by coming off as she did. Obama may have been the one attacked, but she looked like a rabid dog.

Sack up, Senator. Though I can understand your reluctance to get the beat down again on national tv.

How dare someone have the audacity to criticize Senator Obama?

It is called vetting, which is a new concept for him, since no other candidate or media outlet has bothered until now.

He stumbles and steps in 'it' when he is faced with anything other than delivering a lofty stump speech.

This type of 'attack' maybe be old Washington – these issues seem silly, but they do matter in the general. Obama can ponder that in December, whilst they are planning McCain's inauguration.

The V-Child April 17th, 2008 4:20 pm ET

HAHAHA… Obama is obviously a Jay-Z fan. "Get…that…dirt of your shoulder!!!"

OBAMA '08… YES WE CAN!!! SI SE PUEDE!!!

-------------–

Exactly what came to mind....hahahahaha.

The beat to that song popped into my head when he did that...lol

"If you feelin like pimp....brush your shoulders off"

OB 'O8

Way to go Barack, flick her off your shoulder as you would the insignificant gnat that she really is. She is acting more and more like the Republicans every day. I guess she and Joe Leiberman will eventually be uniting, after she loses this nomination. Those two are a match made in heaven........

A must watch new release youtube movie " Bosnia & Back Again" starring sen.HRC, produced by Jed Report.

Again Mr Obama has pprooved is best feature is he is condecending to Hillary and voters

Barack is right on target - What a refreshing change to have an outsides who can honestly comment on what goes on in a campaign, instead of a yellow pantsuit sitting in a duckblind drinking Crown Royal and waiting for the phone to ring for her husband to tell her where he spent the night.

Actually you maniac, what you have to do is perform decently during at least one debate, tone down your out-of-control arrogance, and stop lying that you are the anointed and chosen one.

Obama lied twice in that debate (saying his campaign did not attack Clinton on Bosnia when they did on a daily basis - and on the gun records) - and he was a pathetic mess trying to answer to his own baggage that keeps piling up more and more every day.

Go get a life Obama and take your cult with you.

I wish to God people would wake up & see what a arrogant & pompous man he is. Not only is he inexperienced but he is a perfect example of the difference between being well educated & intelligent.

Something that the media's not talking about is the FACT that Hillary's superdelegate GAP has been closed on significantly....She only has a 19 member superdelegate lead.

Obama has sealed the deal as the Dem nom. Clinton can only disgrace herself and family further by her actions.

The video footage is hilarious. Funnier part is that he's right.

I don't see any purpose in future debates if they are going to focus on nonsense, rather than serious national issues that truly matter. Neither of them is perfect, so let's just leave it at that and forget the 'politics of personal destruction' that Billary cried about so much during 'their' administration.

Isn't it interesting how Hillary uses Bill's reign when it's to her advantage, but is quick to back off when something he's done or said isn't popular?

Amusing.....and sad.

Vote Democrat in November! Any Democrat is going to be better than John McCain.

Eugene, OR

It is so funny to hear Obama talk like he is on a higher playing field when the truth is that he does the same thing Clinton does and the Clinton campaign should do a commercial showing Obama preaching one thing and then doing the opposite of what he preaches!

Obama is a fraud!!

That' s right, Pres Obama! Brush it off. Continue to focus on the issues and wil will be fine!

GO Obama...... And if you really hate this man so much to say if Hillary doesn't get the nomination you'll go for McCain you really aren't listening to the issues. Even Hillary is gonna vote Obama when the time comes!!!

OBama 08..... Anyone but McBush

I am starting to be disgusted by Obama and his remarks. Yes he had tough questions thrown his way, but this was the first debate since Wright and Bitter and all that and these are things that, for better or worse, have been the focus of much speculation this last month or so. I think this was a wake-up call to what the fight will probably be like for him in the general election should he get the nomination.

Clinton was in her element because she knows how to stand up to the attacks. Obama does not and it shows, and now he complains.

The Clintons, GOP and McCain still live in the past. They think and know most Americans are stupid! However, Obama knows what the American Public is feeling! This is what is going to make it happen for him, he knows how you feel!

God Bless You Obama Only The Strong Survive.

Obama 08/12

yeah he also forgot wipe his face and place the ice back on his black eye. Fool was handed his butt last night.

I have no side in this primary... but would say that Hillary did better in that debate than Obama...
That being said... I don't see any point in having anymore... it was just a mud slinging fest... but not as one sided as he lets it out to be.

At any rate... I hope she doesn't give up... this is democracy in action and they should take it the distance!

Never give up... Never surrender!

yea brush off your mentor, sorry, I can not brush it off so easily. You went for 20 years, you must have agreed to keep going BY CHOICE for 20 years. Your choices on a number of things are not so easily brushed off for some people but that's your answer, just ignore it because you have no good answer for it, just blame others for being racist.

Ohh CNN! Your title is WRONG! Obama did not bruch Clinton off his shoulders. He was referring to the negative attacks (note he used 'it") and not HIllary. Read it again:
"When you're running for the presidency then you’ve gotta expect it and you know you’ve just gotta kinda let it—"

I saw that...he was funny..

The crowd enjoyed the show

Will this help him?
Time will say.....

Which part of the debate did Hillary attack him? She said she would not attend that church, and I wouldn't either.

Barack you are right on. She was using the OLD way of politics as usual. We are MOVING ON WITH CHANGE WE CAN BELIEVE IN. I LOVE IT.!!!!!!!!!

Just keep on brushing her off, she is completely insignificant!

PS. If you think it sounds arrogant thats because you know its true. If I were on a losing team I would be hating too

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

He didn't do poorly in this debate. She didn't do well in this debate. The vast majority of people would say he won. Why? Because she has attacked him on the scale that Fox News attacks democrats. Her words were destructive, and she will eventually implode from these statements.

OBAMA IS THE BIG LIAR AND DAMAGING COMMENTS:

'BABY BEING PUNISHMENT'

BITTERGATE

ATTACKING MAREEN DOWD FOR MAKING FUN OF HIS BIG EARS-IT'S OWN TAPE

AMERICAN SOLDIERS LIVES ARE BEING WASTED IN IRAQ. JOHN MCCAIN MADE SIMILAR COMMENT BUT HE IS 5 YEAR POW.

OBAMA LIED ABOUT HANDGUN QUESTIONAIRE- HE PESONALLY WROTE THE ANSWER

OBAMA LIED ABOUT BEING RACIALLY AMBUSH AND MADE UP A LIFE MAGAZINE STORY IN HIS BOOK "DREAMS FROM MY FATHER"– THE MEDIA DIDN'T COVER THIS.

OBAMA LIED ABOUT BEING BORN DURING SELMA MARCH

OBAMA LIED ABOUT HIS PARENTS RECEIVING SCHOLARSHIP FROM THE KENNEDYS

OBAMA LIED ABOUT BEING A CONSTITIONAL PROFESSOR

OBAMA LIED ABOUT NOT SITTING IN HIS CHURCH

OBAMA LIED ABOUT NAFTA

OBAMA LIED ABOUT RELATIONSHIP WITH REZKO

OBAMA LIED ABOUT MEETING AUCHI

OBAMA HAD THE AUDACITY TO ATTACKED HILLARY FOR HAVING A BEER,

WHEN OBAMA INVITED THE MEDIA TO SEE HIM MILK A COW, HAVE A BEER, BOWL AND HAVE A GOAT CHEEZE SANDWICH.

OBAMA HAD THE AUDACITY TO ATTACKED HILLARY FOR HER BOSNIA STORY,

WHEN OBAMA LIED AND MADE UP A STORY ABOUT BEING RACIALLY AMBUSH WHEN SEEING A LIFE MAGAZINE ARTICLE.

THIS IS JUST A FEW OF HIS LIES!!!!

Shake it off Obama and keep campaigning. Go Obama 08'

CNN please post my comments.

Go Barack, GO!! Crash HER, boy, in Penn!!! We are with you!! Let's finish HRC...NOW is the moment...OUR MOMENT!!

SO, HOW DOES BRUSHING HIS SHOULDERS OFF QUALIFY HIM TO BE PRESIDENT?

You are right Obama. That woman is dirty, in mind, in spirit. She can only spew her venom. She actually made me feel ASHAMED of being a woman last night.
Let her debate on her own with her lackeys, the Stephanopoulos, Gibson, Hannity of the media world. Feathers of the same bird.

I love this man! I'm donating $200 tonite.

That's right!

GET!
THAT!
DIRT OFF YA SHOULDERS!

Obama brushes his shoulders indicating he's dismissing Hillary. Sounds a bit elitist to me!

He goes on to say she "twists the knife in a little bite".

Obama sounds like a pouting 12-year old girl. He's definitely not ready for prime-time.

OBAMA CAN HAVE JIMMY CARTER ENDORSEMENT SINCE IS HE MEET WITH HAMAS.

THE MEDIA WAS ALL OVER JIMMY CARTER HINTING HE WILL SUPPORT OBAMA NOW THEY ARE QUIET SINCE CARTER IS MEETING WITH HAMAS.

IF THIS WAS HILLARY CLINTON SUPPORTER, MEDIA WOILD HAVE SLAM HER FOR THIS.

ALSO ,OBAMA DIDN'T LIKE JIMMY CARTER MEETING WITH HAMAS,

BUT IT'S OK FOR HIS FORMER PASTOR TO PRINT HAMAS MANIFESTO AND WRITE AN ARTICLE IN LA TIMES SUPPORTING HAMAS.

Shake them haters off, Obama.

Oh he is just a sour grape because she used him for a mop last night. LOL

OBAMA all the way!

HAHAHA... Obama is obviously a Jay-Z fan. "Get...that...dirt of your shoulder!!!"

OBAMA '08... YES WE CAN!!! SI SE PUEDE!!!

If Obama can't handle this, he'll never be able to handle the republicans. He should just man up and just admit he had a bad night, no one is perfect, but to play this wounded victim role is really unattractive and unbecoming of a leader. Do your history, this is a picnic compare to the founding fathers. He's been off his game since Texas.
