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.

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

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

OBAMA all the way!

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

Shake them haters off, Obama.

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.

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.

That's right!

GET!
THAT!
DIRT OFF YA SHOULDERS!

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

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.

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

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

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

CNN please post my comments.

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!!!!

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.

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!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

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.!!!!!!!!!

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

I saw that…he was funny..

The crowd enjoyed the show

Will this help him?
Time will say…..

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—"

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.

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!

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

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

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.

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

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

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!!

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

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

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

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 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.

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.

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.

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

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

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……..

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

OB 'O8

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

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.

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

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.

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 video footage was great! That debate was pathetic.

YES WE CAN!

Obama '08!

"Brush the haters off…"

LOL!! Oh well.

Yes We Can & Yes We Should
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.

Get that dirt of your shoulders Barack!

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

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

Obama '08

I LOVE OBAMA!!!!!!!

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

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

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%

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!

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?

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.

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.

Obama = realest politician of all time

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!!!!!!

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

Hillary or McCain '08, experience counts!

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

OBAMA 08!

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.

I LOOK FORWARD TO WATCH THE DEBATE BETWEEN OBAMA AND

MCCAIN.

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!

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…..

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

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.

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

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!

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.

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.

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?

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.

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

Meet Barack Obama, the next POTUS!

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

LOVE IT ! !

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

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.

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.

Where's the video, I gotta see this!

OBAMA '08

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

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

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

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

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!

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!

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

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

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

HOLLA….LOL

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.

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

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!!!

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.

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

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.

Hillary is a BITTER old sow, and it shows.

thats right!!! BRUSH IT OFF!!!

thanks for the love taps Billary!!!

OBAMA 08!!

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!!!!

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.

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

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

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 !!!!!

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.

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

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.

"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?
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!!!

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.

LOL!!!! Love it!!!

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

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.

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

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

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.

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

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!

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!!!

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

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

"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!!!

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!!

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

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.

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!

"GO ON BRUSH YA SHOULDAS OFF!"

Yes! I see a music video on the horizon.

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!!!

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

If you're feeling like a PIMP!

HAIL TO THE CHIEF

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…

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.

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

What a loser!

Cry baby Obama!!

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

It's been really hard on him lately.

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

he would do the same thing if he was behind

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…..

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.

Can Obama beat McCain? YES! YES! YES!

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.

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

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….

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

Texans for Obama

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

Chicago

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

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)

Good for him!!!

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!

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

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!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

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

Now that is HYSTERICAL!!! Go Obama!!

Go Obama!!!!

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

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′

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

Obama will defeat the McCain-Clinton ticket!

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

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.

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

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.

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

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.

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

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!

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

OBAMA/HILLARY 08

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.

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!

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

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

GO OBAMA CHANGE I CAN BELEIVE.

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?

its called

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.

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

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

BARACK OBAMA…2008!
INTEGRITY MATTERS!

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

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.

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??

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

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.

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?

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!

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!

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.

YES WE CAN
OBAMA '08

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.

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

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?

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!

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

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!!!!

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.

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!

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.

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!

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!!!

Obama is the man!!

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