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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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...

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!

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.

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

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.

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.

Yes, Barack Obama is both intelligent and well educated and it really shows.
