CNN TICKER: BREAKING NEWS: Mikey from Life cereal endorses Obama, even though he "hates everything", CNN experts say this is a "sure sign Obama will be our next President"…more on AC360

It is silly to say you hate Hillary when the truth is anyone who listened to her intimate detailed recollections of being under Sniper fire and then see the videos that show it was the opposite event just would never trust her. How could you honor a person with a vote who just lied boldly to America.

How could such detailed recollections be a MIstake? It was a LIE and an insult to every American who HAS been Under Fire.

Time to start playing taps over the grave of the Clinton dynasty. She's done

Like the rest of American, Reich got tired of watching Hillary tear apart the Democratic party. In the end, either Hillary or Obama will need to go up against McCain and that will not be easy. Instead of watching Hillary getting us fighting one another, why can't we come together as a national party and put our faith behind Obama.

It is the weak and losing individual that must try to smear the leader in order to get back in the race. If Hillary was able to win on her platform, her merits, and her honesty, she would be leading this nomination race instead of being well back.

Wake up Hillary supporters, lets have some unity here as our real opponent is John McCain, not each other.

Way to go Robert.
To Sara Jane from MO: Please explain how he and Richardson are traitors!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Does that mean that anyone who does not agree with you is a traitor????????????????????????????????????
The last I heard we are free to back and vote for whomever we want. For example – I back and vwll vote for Obama – a person who is for change and progress. Am I a traitor???
You back a person who has proven these past months she is a liar, a negative campaigner and someone who wouldn't know the truth if it hit her in the face. Does that make you a traitor in my eyes – no – just a stupid person.

These people are trying to look out for only themselves. They are thinking, mistakenly, that Obama will win and that there could be alot of political benefit and clout in it for themselves. When Obama starts falling apart and whining about having to debate against McCain– there's going to be ALOT of people feeling really stupid.

To quote your puppeteer: "It's just silly season in politics, folks…"

Obama's a hypocritical, back-stabbing rookie and he CAN'T debate!!

Another PLUS for OBAMA. Great. Finally it looks like the right person will be in the White House. BARACK OBAMA, CHANGE WE CAN BELIEVE IN.

Reich is NO FRIEND. Obama is totally unqualified to be President, and Reich should know better than to endorse him.

To quote Kelso from That 70s show…"Ultimate Burn!!!" Ouch Hillary, you got the smack-down again, from another one of your pals! I'd be worried about your daughter Chelsea now, bet she is thinking about endorsing Obama too, since she is fed up with the lies and treachery from her own family. Come on Chelsea, endorse Obama, you can do it! Welcome aboard, Robert Reich!

To Larry Thomas – I agree and pay attention to insider endorsements but I think its important to look more closely. The fact is most of Obama's senior staff have worked for Clinton — all that tells me is; at best Clinton hired well and gave many great training that Obama now calls upon –at worst, it is Clinton's "B" team that now work for Obama – whereas the "A" team of Albright and Rubin stick with Hillary–nobody can argue that our intl and economic policies were far superior under Clinton and these 2 advisors who now strongly support Hillary. I would rather have the original real deal Clinton team than the JV player advised by former (and possibly secondary/lower level or disgruntled?)advisors to the real deal.

Whos calling them FRIENDS, not the Clintons its the media, just because I went to school with someone or worked for someone does not make us close friends. He has never been a friend or he would not be saying these things, he would at least keep his mouth shut. He is someone that they know not a FRIEND. If he was talking about her before the Iowa primary he is just a regular guy that has his own thoughts.

Is there any supporters online who endorsed George Bush for the first two terms? I'd love to hear you tell us what happened because your candidate, now president is the worst in modern history. I don't think I would want endorsements from you guys.

Congrats Senator Obama for three new endorsements today. Thanks Secretary Reich for your support.

Obama 08

Obama thinks the questions are unfair!! "No more debates!"
"Waaaahhhhhh!"

Ready for Bin Laden or the Iranian dwarf?? "Uhhhhh, nooooo."

Mccain will eat this shallow dilletante for lunch.

Don't EVER want to see the HIll-Billys anywhere in gov'r again, but better her than this weakling.

"It out-Herods Herod!"

Earlier, someone said that if Hilliary is President, she will have Bill to help and advise her and he did well in the 90's. Well, the people who advised Bill are now with Obama. It should make you wonder what is about about BILLARY today that people are running away from. hmmmmmm

Hey Reich,

Can you please tell me about Obama's legislative accomplishments, what bills he has brought forth and how many times he has worked "across the aisle".

YOu must be nuts to endorse this elitist. I encourage Obama to run for block captain back in his Chicago neighborhood.

Obama will never be President.

TO SUSAN, PATRICK, Maggie…, STACY….

Your comment prooves that you did not understand that element of democracy. Elections in a democratic country is ACTUALLY NOT ABOUT FREINDSHIPS or CLANS.

Support based on friendship is a characteristique of dictatorship, where the dictator and his friend become a clan based on loyalty.

elections in a democratic country is about the people being free too choose, everyone basing on their consciense., all of it for the good of the whole nation.

THIS HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH LOYALTY BECUZ IT S NOT ABOUT THE CLINTON'S GOOD. iT S ABOUT THE AMERICAN PEOPLE GOOD !

We are in a free country.

ROLLIe : talking about circus, Hillary is a drama queen …and you know im right

I think this is a great endorsement for Obama. But, I am suprised the article doesn't mention that Robert Reich IS NOT A SUPER DELEGATE.

What a well-written endorsement. Those unfamiliar with Obama's policies should now take the time to check them out.

Instead of calling these people Judas' look closer.
Could it be they know the Clintons better than most?
Could it be they have a REASON to not support them?
Could it be they are BRAVE enough to not feel strong armed into supporting them?
Could it be that they have been TURNED OFF by them?

If so called friends can't support them, shouldnt that say a lot about the Clintons?

Since when does anyone in government do anything because of their conscience? You kids are getting worse with your judgment–where are your parents–sipping lattes with Kennedy, Kerry, Pelosi, Tobin, Cafferty and Dean? They must be having emergency sessions to try and disenfranchise and sabotage the rest of the states since Hilary has had a great week! Keep, looking, panel of disloyalists–you will no doubt sign up Carter when he finishes his meetings with Hamas and the rest of those anti-American dictators! Hilary all the way–from Clinton loyalist! ( also remember the glorious nineties)

But does Reich wear a flag pin and does his pastor love America as much as him? These are the important questions, right Hillary?

WAKE UP AMERICA GOD HAS CHOOSEN A NEW LEADER FOR THIS NATION . AMERICA IS GOING TO CHANGE FOR THE BEST , GO BARRACK , YOU ARE THE CHOOSEN ONE GOD BLESS YOU, MOVE OVER CLINTON AND MCCAIN.

Hillary……….it's over.

Any Democrat who does not vote for a fellow Democrat, should be permanently banned from the party. If an HRC voters for for McCain, they are for now and ever an evil republican, nuf said!

I can't understand why Obama is getting such endorsments after he flips Hillary the bird at North Carolina. It just goes to show how immature and inexperienced he is.

FRIENDS……. HOW MANY OF US HAVE THEM………….

NOT THE CLINTONS….

ANYONE SUPPORTING OBAMA IS ANOTHER JUDAS.
COME ON PEOPLE. EVERYONE IS ALIGNING BEHIND OBAMA, THAT SHOULD TELL YOU SOMETHING ABOUT WHO THE CLINTONS ARE UP TO. OPEN YOUR EYES.

Message for SC Brown:–I went thru the erticle in Chicago Tribune. I grew to admire Obama for all the common man's life he led and feelings he nurtured. If all Obama haters would read it, they would ponder-those who scorned would admire!!! What a simple man!!!

YES WE CAN! YES WE CAN! YES WE CAN!

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

ENOUGH OF YOUR PUT DOWN OF HILLARY SUPPORTERS. WE ARE TWICE A BRIGHT AND KNOW WHAT IS BEST FOR OUR COUNTRY. HILLARY 08!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

How is this news?

You're right Patrick Peavey it is sad when people who have known you for years have endorsed the other guy. It doesn't call into questions your "friends loyalty" near as much as it call into question your policies. If you notice that is all Reich talks about is policy so don't make it personal.

I think we all agree that endorsements dont change peoples votes however lets also be honest (if such a thing is possible) and also admit that endorsements only "MEAN NOTHING" to the person who didn't get it.

Come on America,
Lets unite and vote for the better future
Vote Barack Obama

So I guess Reich was at the San Francisco Fund Raiser and feels like Obama does. No suprise he supports him then.

Probably better he supports a dishonest, elitist like Obama than Hillary.

KEEP up the good positive work Hillary, only a low life would flip off another candidate and smirk about it.

Hillary supporters are so amusing! Everytime Obama gets an endorsement , they say it doesn't matter or that the person is only vying for a Cabinet position. Jealousy is such an ugly emotion!

So many of Clinton's friends are moving over to Obama..there must be a very good reason…fe.g,,the Bosnia story & years ago she talked down on being a housewife!!

Hillary said she 'mis spoke' about sniper fire because she was 'tired'…..yet runs an ad about 'answering the phone at 3:00 am'………think of what could happen if she 'mis spoke' then!!!! And she 'mis spoke' time and time again……
Hillary needs to admit that it's over and let Obama focus on running against McCain.

Obama is the only choice in 08

i wonder what atrocities the clintons committed during their stay in the white house ?
i mean their friends dont even want them there?
americans should heed this
hillary clinton is unelectable.
Obama 08,12

Hooray for OBAMA! He is clearly the best candidate. …& of course Hillary can stand the heat in the kitchen… the little devil!

OBAMA '08

HRC is so fake can't wait for this to be over.
Obama 08 baby!!

RJUDY – do you think by NOT buying water from them if YOU were in a desert is gonna hurt them? Hmmm? Think about that for a minute and get back to me.

Stop being haters; the Obama will win! Wake up people and smell the coffee!

Those who pay attention know that Reich's endorsement is one of the finer feathers in Obama's feather-laden cap!

Robert Reich is well respected and is a grown-up. He is also a very intelligent man, and will stand up against dirty politics by supporting Obama.

Thank you Secretary Reich, you made an excellent choice.

Obama 08

and just where do you think Obama's crew got their ideas stupid. Remember the first 10 debates, he kept saying I agree with Senator Clinton. He didn't take questions when he gave speechs, because he didn't have answers. He gives good speechs and that's all. He can't answer questions without blaming someone else. Not good enough for me. Still sticks about his MENTOR of 20 years. Not comfortable with that yet. He needs to wait longer and everything gets cleared up before I'll vote for him.

CNN – pse add my comments!

I just cannot understand how african americans can back hrc when they finally have a 'black' candidate running to be the 44th president of the usa…….. where is their sense of what is right? HRC will be just the same old politics as the bush/clinton/bush adminisrations…….. as others have so correctly made the point, the clintons will do whatever it takes to win! why no more q's to the clintons about where they received their millions of usd? from the middle east? from shady deals? they are the masters of shady deals!!!!!!!!!!!! finally, she couldn't take care of her husband while she was in the whitehouse, how she gonna take care of the country? she'll fall asleep from exhaustion and miss the boat!

Why are you not reporting this:

From NBC's Domenico Montanaro
Rep. Betty Sutton (OH-13) endorsed Clinton today, giving the New York senator one more superdelegate. Our superdelegate count now stands at Clinton 260, Obama 235. This also marks Clinton breaking even since Super Tuesday, Feb. 5. In mid-March Clinton had been at a net loss of seven delegates since Feb. 5. Obama has netted 65 delegates since Feb. 5.

Only when Obama gets an endorsement does CNN report it! How is that for a double standard. Wake up folks, the media is trying to herd you towards Obama.

Reich is an avowed Socialist, and his endorsement is one she does NOT need! His support of Osama speaks volumes!

Who really cares who endorses who? Politicians are looking for new jobs in the new administration. Right now it looks like it is going to be Obama so "Let's all jump on his band wagon." Clinton has been leading in INdiana by 16% points and in Kentucky by over 25 points.
Let us all get our chance to cast our vote for President.

What are we recycling endorsements now? Old news.
Nice try by Obama campaign.

Who won last Tuesday debate. The ABC – own (!) Poll says:

Sen. Barack Obama 45,602
Sen. Hillary Clinton 17,155
It was a tie 5,457

BOER

If he has been critical of Hillary's campain since Iowa, why is this news now?

CNN you disgust me. Obama has had a few more days of bad press. It looks like CNN is trying to smooth it over for Obama today.

WE SEE THROUGH YOUR BIAS CNN!!! I'VE STOPPED WATCHING YOUR REPORTING AND I'VE BEEN A LIFELONG VIEWER.

Why does everyone think 'Cling' and 'Bitter' are bad words. I'm bitter about Bush, this war, what its doing to our economy, the price of gas, and the jobs that are outsourced to other countries or to illegal immigrants. I've voted based on economic promises in the past and found that nothing ever seems to change. It makes me bitter everytime I think about it. So you know what I do, I cling to my core beliefs and vote based on issues I may have a better chance of affecting. Abortion is a religious issue. Gun ownership and how it is managed is a specific stongly held personal issue that I would much base my vote on then broad complicated economic problems that nobody can put their finger on or ever solve. The fact that Obama can speak to that means he does understand. If Hillary hasn't expirienced that, as she says, she isn't listening to us. Thank you Reich for ending your silence.

Oh, and as far as James Carville is concerned. Well, here's a nobody who ran one campaign in 1992 and is still riding that for all it's worth. He's just nothing but a has-been. His wife has done more than he has. He's funny, at times, and mostly just plain annoying. His comments hang around as much as a fart in a strong wind.

So many of their friends, former advisers, and ex-cabinet members overwhelmingly going against them speaks volumes about the Clintons! There must be so much more bad stuff that we don't know about them…

Just another rat in Obama's ship, you all going to be sorry if Obama gets the nomination, but I'm sure you allready have a job with him, (in Illinois). Clowns!!!!
HILLARY FOR PRESIDENT 2009!!!!!

Build it and they will come! One by one, they will come! Changes are great for the American Nation and people. We must evolve and embrace changes. We must be inclusive, this land is for all, a gift from our people to all of humanity, not just the chosen few and the entitled. Sincerely, Lake Hart, a Native American Writer.

Susan MO,

Who are you rooting for? You seem to be talking from all sides of your mouth…
Make it clear….Obama, Clinton or McSame?

This is great. Here is a man of sound convictions, and has a monumental record of knowing America. If he can see thru Hillarys campaing of slash and burn, the Super Delegate are seeing the same. Thank you Mr. Reich, on you considered opinion!

Thank you Rena.

I agree that it appears that many people are resentful because of the skin color..this is the part that makes me sick. It is so obvious that Obama is a better candidate than Hillary. But, no matter what, he won't get the credit from some Americans because of his skin color, but people are afraid to admit it. They are to cowardly to admit that truth.

Obama 08

NEWS FLASH for all the Obamaniacs who keep calling Hillary a liar. Obama is guilty of lying too. The only differnece is he has a teflon lie shield that surrounds him. People are blinded by whatever they like about him and they can't see him for what he really is. A politician. They are politicians, it's what they do. If you really believe he's that different you need to wake up. Too many pots and kettles calling each other black here.

He is such a sucker.

How come CNN always published and makeing it a headline everytime Obama receives support or recommendation. But if Hilalry receives recommendation and support like this, it is not a headline.

The media was and is always really unfair to Hillary.

Obama is the most irresponsibvle and most degrading candidate I've seen.

Obama mocked the Pennsylvannians and all American. Wake up America!!!! As demeaning as Obama so goes Wright and Rezco.

These supprters doe not think anymore that is same as every elections since Bush won the white house. I think this is happenning again. Shame on you.

That those who have worked more closely with the Clintons are the ones that are endorsing Obama tells a lot about Obama's preparadeness, capability and electability, for the office of the President of the United States against Hilary's

How is it that Hillary lied to the American people about being shot at.
Listen to how vivid her stories were of it. It wasn't a mistake it was a complete fabrication.

The republicans will trot out Mccains war hero pictures and videos and say:
"The CLINTONS lie about being shot at to impress you, I don,t have to lie about it." It is an insult to every American who has ever been and today is in "Harms Way" for her to lie about it for political gain.

She owes the country and every dead soldier an apology and the true explanation of why she did it. Of course she does not have that kind of courage. Does She?
Why isn't the liberal media more outraged?

one has to think…Why is it that some of the people who worked directly with, and know the Clinton's the best are jumping ship? You can maybe call one or two a traitor or opportunist, but there has been a steady stream of former Clinton democrats that have supported Obama.

I'm not sayin….I'm just sayin.

I'm an Obama supporter, but I will ABSOLUTELY vote for Clinton if she were to eek out the nomination. A vote for McCain is a vote against your own self interests as Americans. Though admirable in his service to this country, why is no one calling him on pandering the the conservative agenda as he decided to run for president? I used to to like the guy, he just seems quite disingenuous to me.

cry me a river……

Clintonaddicts need to wake up from their cold sweats. Hillary is an addiction that leads to destruction. Its sad that out of all the great women in our country the best we could do for a real legit shot, was Billary?
& to Bill, shame on you for calling any one young or old, who does not VOTE for your wife that you betrayed, dumb or not smart!!!!!!

Obama has won us over! “Whether we’re from red states or blue states, we feel in our gut the lack of honesty, rigor, and common sense in our policy debates, and dislike what appears to be a continuous menu of false or cramped choices.” (Men, Women, Young, Old, rich, poor, Latinos, Blacks & Whites, Asians & Native Americans, Straight, Gay, Democrats, Republicans and Independents) Hence-“we sense-correctly-that the nation’s most significant challenges are being ignored, and that if we don’t change course SOON, we may be the first generation in a very longtime that leaves behind a weaker and more fractures America than the one we inherited.”- Barack Obama

Stop your banter Susan, Its time you Clintonistas to join the Wining Campaign! say it with loud Susan (YES WE CAN). And tell some of your friends to knock that dirt off your shoulder too.

Obama Baby 08

My, my. I always thought there was one Judas, and one Judas only

you guys crying about this guy going for obama wake up and smell the roses. you guy dont rember the clintons and how they put nafta on us. thats one of the reasons penn. ,mich,ohio.,ind., ill. have lost jobs. she is two face ,she tells you what you want to hear an does something else.

For all those Hillary supporters out there… This is the guy whose economic policies produced the prosperity of the Clinton years that Hillary is now taking credit for. If he is backing Obama, Hillary has no more basis to claim she is better. Her "experience" and "economic acumen" have just jumped ship… Maybe she can cackle a little louder now ???

The more the media and Obama supporters push Obama down our throats, the more us Clinton supporters are willing to vote for McCain in the fall. Remember Obamabots, Obama only has half of the support of the democratic party. The other half is going to Clinton. If she does not get the nomination, then we will show you exactly how we feel about your Obama.

What is it, exactly, that makes the Clinton camp and supporters cling to the belief that the nomination is her God-given right, given that Obama has won the popular vote, more states and more delegates, more people view him as trustworthy, and he is ahead in the polls?

The honesty, clarity, intelligence, focus and eloquence Obama brings to this election is refreshing. It is in stark contrast to the games that Hillary plays. Some of our best former political leaders are those with some of the least formal "Washington experience", and some of the most disasterous administrations have significant experience. Washington experience does not translate into a good presidency.

Go Obama!

People use traitor as if he's endorsing a Republican, lol. When Clinton finally does drop out I hope all her supports can regain some perspective.

This endorsement was pretty harsh. He noted specific policy issues that he thinks Obama has a better case around. That's something most endorsers haven't been doing.

I thought America is a free country. Are HRC supporters saying "you must vote for the wife because you worked with Bill" I don't get it. I like Bill Clinton, but I'm votting Obama. This is the kind of mentality that's turning people off. I respect Reich for his choice and making that choice based on who has the better policy for the nation. I, like Reich, think the Office is much bigger than friendship.

Better for Hillary to remember all the judas in her party. It's funny how loyalty doesn't belong to democrats, which is why they will keep on loosing, Imagine why would he think Obama is better after wed. debate is a mystery unless Sorros has made him an offer he coudn't refuse, that's very possible. The 90's were the best years in the history of the USA why would you turn your back on the Clintons. United we stand belongs to republicans and divided we fall belongs to the dems. that's why they are bound to loose. Time for a third party just to weed out the hipocrites. or loose with Obama and his nutty supporters.

Good!!! OBAMA 08′, NO MORE CLINTONS!!!!

Barack Obama has the strength of characrter and ideas to make an excellent president. Hillary Clinton has big name recognition thanks to her husband. I don't think that gives her any sort of experience or edge on anyone running, much less someone who is intelligent, thoughtful, and caring.
If all people can find to fault the man with is that some of the people in his live have made mistakes, then he is hardly an elitist. Or, if so, than aren't we all? I have members in my own family I am not proud of and wouldn't want to be held responsible for some of their decisions. Still, I would not disown or stop caring for them, or trying to work together with them to get something good accomplished.

I have noticed most people that are NOT for Obama denote his RACE! WOW, America wake up to the inter demons, we all know there are people that use race as there monitor for every facet of their life, this is still very, very SAD. Vote on the issues I have lost my job because of downsizing If he can help with NEW ideas God help him. I see why the secret service gave him security from DAY ONE!

HRC is done, put a stake in her. Good BYE Barack is the man, with the plan. And 100 millon people can't be wrong. Down with Bush, step aside HRC. Lets roll over McBush JR. Obama 08

known the Clintons since "college"…

man….. that's "GOTTA" HURT !!!!!!!

I think Hillary will make a great state leader. Hillary for Governor of New York.

This man is in deep trouble; they will call him a traitor. The Clintons think anybody who served in Bill's administration owes them, there are several superdelegates who are struggling with their conscience. They know the right candidate is Obama but for some reason are struggling to come out.

Now she is making news of Obama's complaint about the lines of questioning during Wednesday's debate. Who was the first to complain about debate questions? Now she understands that if you want to go to the White House you have to face tougher questions at a debate. What a hypocricy! Everybody knows Barack Obama was not complaining of "tougher questions" as Hillary did some few weeks ago; the complain is about the relevance of those question to the american people.

PEOPLE OF PA, if you take time to listen to OBAMA u'll know he's the best person for the job, CLINTON isn't bad either but she didn;t show me that she can take decisions when the day will come, we need to be united as americans, plz let's end these issues and vote for OBAMA.

we can if we listen

I could respect what Reich did were it not for the timing. Had he waited until the primaries were over I could accept that he was simply following his conscience. But to do it now when it hurts Hillary the most makes him in my eyes a Judas.

Hmmmmm, I don't have the slightest idea who this guy is.

Everyone in the policitic arena is a longtime friend of the former president. Who cares.

Go Hillary!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

To… Mike in Texas

Obama has done the walk in a more direct and personal area. Look back at what he did for a small community in Chicago which indeed made Chicago thrive even more.. There are alot you can find and see if you do the research. Come on over and visit the obama website. Check out the life and such he has done and really get to know the Obama family before you judge them.. We supporters may be harsh at times but the same can be said for many of the Clinton supporters.

Obama 08

The clintons can't understand why people are not laying a red carpet for them all the way from New York to white house.
What is wrong with these people,,, they need to get real. And if Hillary doesn't watch it, she may lose Bills vote. lol

Are you Obama people saying that you are not loyal to anyone? My goodness, what will Barrack do when you all desert him for McCain because he is not ahead in the polls at the general?

WE NEED TO UNITE AS DEMOCRATS, WE CAN'T AFFORD TO HAVE MCCAIN WIN BECAUSE OUR FAVORED CANDIDATE DIDN'T GET THE NOMINATION. IF YOU LOOK AT HILLARY/BARACK POLICIES, YOU WILL SEE THEY ARE EXACTLY THE SAME

To Susan:

The only way in which it may not matter is that Obama almost has the nomination sewed up as it is. And if you are really making your decision based on the 'spin room' rather than researching further into the matter than it doesn't sound like you are open- minded to find out the truth to begin with.

Also, the majority of people understand that what Obama said is true and does not reflect on his belief that these small towns are also resilient and ready for hope and change as much as the rest of us,

Karen in Cape Cod-

So what you're saying is that Hillary Clinton has rats on her ship?

Get real, he is not & has not been afriend to the Clinton's for years. He left the Clinton administration & wrote a book blasting the Clinton's. When he says "my friend" in regards to either Clinton, he is doing the truth a great disservice. You are doing the same even referring to him as a Clinton friend. He's been sucking up to Obama for some time now.
Just another Judas in the pack

First of all jt, you are an idiot. Get some spelling and grammar lessons.

It speaks volumes for the distrust the Clintons have created. Friends and former advisors, cabinet members, you name it…they don't support the lies anymore. Time for Hillary to go away.

I really hope that the Clinton sees which kind of mess she did with the party. Now, she put Obama in a terrible position with her unusful questions and she put herself also in a very bad situation. First: I have never heard anyone who lived their religion for a Pastor, Priest or whatever… I need to understand…. this pastor made horrible comments, but if he did something criminal wasn't arrested? so…Obama has to pay for the stupidity of the Pastor….I don't get it….so all Catholics who didn't leave the church after the sex scandal had to be punished.?..why Americans don't send like Napoleaon this Pastor to Sant"elena ? ahahahah
I understand if the supporter change vote or endorsment….when it is too much is too much.

He has an obligation to choose who he believes is the best Candidate, and he made his choice…so respect his decision.

2 A.
"Here's something else that's exciting, John Edwards was wearing an Obama pin last night on the Colbert report!"

THE LINK?!!

This endorsement, together with NUNN's and BOREN's is a consequence of the outrageous attitude of HILLARY, in complicity with
the ABC moderators, during Tuesday's debate. This was the last straw for made such personalities abandon their intention to
THIS WAS THE LAST STRW FOR MADE SUCH PERSONALITIES TO SKIP THEIR INTENTION TO STAY NEUTRAL, AND A SLEW OF SUPERDELEGATES WILL FOLLOW.

Anyway, Hillary has no more chances with superdelegates after she
acknowledged that OBAMA is electable !!

TOM BOER

Now wait, Susan of MO-

First you say:

This does not matter.

"Obama has already hurt himself with his critical remarks to the people of Pennsylvania.

And, he does not want anymore debates.

He lost our vote a long time ago for being so critical.

It does not matter anymore who endorses him

Now Strongely for Hillary Clinton."

Then you say:

"Coming from Someone who 'KNOW" them.
CLINTON your are done

OBAMA 08."

Does this mean that you are jumping the Clintonmachine and boarding the Obama Train…? Welcome Aboard, girlfriend!!!!!!!!!

Welcome! I see Sam Nunn and David Boren also came out in support of Sen. Obama.

C'mon Sen. Clinton… the fat lady has been singing and singing and singing and… she's getting REALLY tired.

The die is cast, the nominee is OBAMA, HIP HIP HIP………

Men of goodwill are joining the Obama train. Welcome on board Reich.

It's more likely John Edwards was wearing a breast cancer pin last night in support of his wife – who by the way, said Hillary's healthcare plan was far superior to Obama's and nearly identical to that which Edwards had proposed. Quit dreaming and look at substance – GO HILLARY!!!

tes, and obama is the one that talks the talk, so why back him?

Where's Patty from, … CA, NY, FL.. and everywhere else she claims shes from.. After the hatchet job on Wednesday night, I am surprised there aren't more. Unless they are waiting to slowly trickle out all weekend up to the primary here in PA..

GO OBAMA!!

ALL ABOARD! ALL ABOARD! ALL BOARD!
TRAIN LEAVING THE STATON LAST CALL FOR HILLARY SUPPORTER TO JUMP ON
OBAMA ALL THE WAY

So Robert had heard something NO ONE ELSE has heard. It would be nice that the ELETISTS let us in on the plan.

Explain to me how Clinton friends and colleagues see something to make them support her opponent, but Clinton supporters seem blind as a bat and easily duped?

Obama '08

Finally! A voice of reason! Thank you, Reich, for coming forth to support the candidate you think will best serve the country over the one who is a friend. If only all Americans could look at the facts without bias, we just might be able to move forward with the election process!

TO SANDY – THEN HILLARY MUST BE WORTH A LOT!!!!
THANKS FOR THE PLUG!!!!!

GO HILLARY!

This shows the Clinton's aren't running the show as they wish they could.

Thank you to those who disengage that power machine.

Buh bye Hillary.

Don't be BITTER Hillary lovers, if people WHO KNOW HER are jumping ship…

It's not too late to back the FUTURE of the Democratic party, Barack Obama!

Geez…how much money are these schmucks being paid to try and drive out the best candidate — Hillary? Obama is a ticking time bomb of unknowns, and the slanted media coverage is all too happy to please their right-wing ownership by shoving him down everyone's throats.

This is not a threat, it is a fact. I WILL NOT VOTE FOR OBAMA NO WAY NO HOW. I will write Hillary in if she is not the nominee. I'm sick of a bunch of racists and misogynists trying to push this empty suit. Excuse my bitter @$$ now…I'm going home to cling to my guns, religion and antipathy.

The most important thing is to end the Bush era and policies. Clinton people unite behind our nominee as I am sure he would if she won the nomination. It was hers to win and her campaign's arrogance lost her a 30 point national lead. It is not her time. The first woman president will be an inspirational leader who doesn't have a husband who was perceived as an advantage who turned out to be an albatros.

As an Independent who voted Republican the last two elections…and third party candidate for multiple local elections….I used to hear the rhetoric from the Democrats…and wonder what type of punch they were drinking from.

No matter the endorsement, no matter the well thought out and articulated argument, no matter the facts……………………………………………………………Clinton Fanatics are the worst and most insatiable. I will personally vote for any Democrat that wins the nomination this year.

I prefer Obama, but I can vote for Hilary. I can't vote for a Republican candidate beating the war drum on Iran already, who admits ignorance on the Economy, and then suggests that it has shown great growth over the last 7 1/2 years.

But you friggen Clinton Fanatics are making it really hard for me to take your party at all seriously.

Don't need them? Where did I hear that before? Oh! Now I remember. Hillary telling Bill to screw them when talking about southern white voters who did not sit on command. You don't need them. Bring back any memories? Seems to be the phrase of the Clinton followers as well. I am a typical white baby boomer who is leanning more and more towards Obama.

Hillary supporters are hilarious. "He's just jumping on the bandwagon now because Obama has taken the lead and he is angling for a cabinet post!! Besides, he basically endorsed him a year ago so this isn't really news!!"

Anything contradictory there??

Obama is a good man, person, and will be fair to all people. I am so proud of him. God Bless Obama.

SURE MR. REICH, AND WHEN OBAMA IS DONE WITH YOU TOO, HE WILL WAVE YOU SOMETHING TOO……..BUT IT WON'T BE THE AMERICAN FLAG………..IT WILL BE HIS MIDDLE FINGER!

As a McCain supporter – this is amusing. Those that support HRC say Reichis a judas and that Obama is a liar. Those that support Obama – welcome him with open arms. Says something about the two campaigns.

BTW – while all of the HRC crew is throwing stones – note this – just because the Paul vs. Clinton case doesn't come up until after the next set of primaries – it will be more than fodder for McCain to sink your political machine in the Fall…..that is….if you manage to STEAL the nomination from Obama. Paul vs. Clinton – it is twisted and doesn't look good for the Clintons.
Sorry – CNN – know you don't want to investigate the Paul vs. Clinton case until after you have won HRC the nomination. Sorry for jumping the gun.

Mc Cain 08

More men of goodwill are waiting to join the Obama express train.Welcom on board Reich.

This is what I'm talking about. We already knew Reich was an Obama supporter. This Clinton supporter will not vote for Obama in November if Hillary is Not on the ticket. The way Hillary has been portrayed in the media and all over the internet, will doom Mr. Obama. I guarentee that.

.
Obama is phony, wake up American.
GO HILLARY!!!

Ouch!!!!

The fat lady keeps singing but Bill and Hill must be deaf.

LOL

Traitor? Why, because after thoughtful and careful deliberation he felt that Obama was a better choice. That's treasonous? Are those Hillary supports who are spouting this nonsense REALLY that dense? I understand your feelings being hurt, but come on…try to cut back on your hateful hyperbole. It isn't going to help your candidate to behave like a spoiled child everytime someone from BILL Clinton's administration backs Obama.

It's good to see so many democrats finally seeing the Clintons for what they are… The Republicans have known this for 15 years… a little slow coming around but glad to see you've done it.

Down with the Royal Family!

Robert Reich is highly respected.

Hillary supporters

Like Bill Richardson,
This is somebody who knew Hillary for decades

GET A CLUE !!!!

These are people that know Senator Clinton and her Husband better than 99% of us that are leaving comments on all the news websites. This has to tell you something if they are not supporting Senator Clinton.

I trust the judgement of these folks and they are people that have been involved in politics for awhile now. They know something that we don't know.

OBAMA 08

How creepy is it that the 2008 Clinton supporters are beginning to sound more and more like the 2004 Bush supporters.

Can "Sarajane from PA" and other Hillary supporters honestly tell me how any American would want to return an "Impeached Family and President" back to the White House?

I have and will always be a great admirer of the Clintons. But I love my nation above all that the Clintons would ever offer– good economy–?

Integrity + strong moral values –> Solutions that are blessed for a nation.

I do not think Hillary meets the above profile!

No, Reich isn't a traitor. These guys take this seriously, know the candidates better than we do, and support based on what they think is best for the country. It's time to wrap this thing up and they know it.

One more washed up politician bucking for a cabinet post job.

Did you hear that? Obama's solutions for social security strike him as more sensible. A lot of Clinton supporters charge that Obama doesn't offer solutions. He does. Check his website.

Obama, I have been aboard your train even before your announced that you were running for president! And I love ya, "Yes, we can"!
Yalivee

I remember this guy on the Colbert Report when asked around Easter that he'd prefer the chocolate bunny over the vanilla chick. I'm pretty sure that was a prelude to this.

thank you Sandy you are correct about the right and also about Clinton attacks on Obama. They do so becuase they fear him, they know that the people are behind him and they also know this is a good man, they know he is not doing this for personal reasons but for the people,
clinton, rush limbaugh, mccain, and ann coulter, lou dobbs, hendy and the rest of individuals who make a living of teaching hate , intolerance, lies, manipulation, division and all the human toxic stuff, are but that toxic…and our country and our children, us and our future deserve a chance and deserve better than what we have been receiving……………no more ..time has come for a big turn and good start, even if it is difficult…………….. yes we the american people we all can, and we will overcome and have a good president…………

Obama 08

Here you have a man who knows the Clintons and choose Senator Obama. Now, since we have people who actually know trhe Clintons but choose Senator OBAMA there is something to be said….

Please, don't let Senator Clinton scare tactic hurt America..

We need true change.

OBAMA 08

Susan/MO, Karen in Cape Cod and Anne Marie/NYC now who's sounding "BITTER"??!!!!!

Hillary is Done!!

I't's still time to get on the TRAINE!!!!

I have a great amount of respect for Mr. Reich and while I was already an Obama supporter I hope more individuals like him speak up so this can end and we can focus on exposing John McCain for what he really is.

"His plans for reforming Social Security and health care have a better chance of succeeding," Reich continued. "His approaches to the housing crisis and the failures of our financial markets are sounder than hers. His ideas for improving our public schools and confronting the problems of poverty and inequality are more coherent and compelling. He has put forward the more enlightened foreign policy and the more thoughtful plan for controlling global warming

These are people who know because they have spent time talking to Obama and have heard his ideas which is something no one is doing in this campaign becasue we are all busy attacking each other. I also read today in Newsweek that Obama has the best defense plan, he was telling the Senate before the election that the United States was attacking the wrong Country and that the terrorist were in Pakistan and Afganistan but they wouldn't listen to a Jr Senator. Please people open yoru ears and get the tabloid bull crap that the Clinton camp has been slinging out of you minds before it's too late. She has poisoned this campaign and McSame will be in the Whitehouse cleaning his gun getting ready for war because he has alzheimers and can remember who were fighting.

YES WE CAN!

Time for Hillary to get out of the way.

White women for Obama!!!

Great news; and two other superdelegates also have decided for Obama today. Logical! in a few months we will all realize that there was no Bittergate, only a SNIPERGATE

Put on your seat belts, we will be hearing another "Judas" & traitor call from the Clinton's camp very soon.

Seriously how delusional are some of you Hillary supporters?

Hillary should start a third party. The other two is bought,and paid for.

———–

Are you seriously saying that Hillary is not bought and paid for? That has to be the funniest/dumbest thing I've read in a long time.

Why is it that Clinton supporters think that every former friend that is endorsing Obama is only doing so because there must be some kind of promise of a Cabinet position?

If these people are friends of the Clintons already, wouldn't they be MORE likely to get a Cabinet position from her, therefore being more to their interest to endorse her?

It just doesn't make sense. These people are truly voting their conscience. And as insiders, I take their endorsement very seriously.

Yep! All Hillary does is lie, lie, and lie. Ya'll are so crazy you keep saying all he does is talk and give good speeches. Well isn’t' that what all of them are doing right now? Hillary is talking and lying her way threw this race; McCain is going around telling his life history. Soooooooo what is your point. At least Obama is talking, inspiring, giving people hope while giving the best foreign policy to ever hit the white house.

Why don't you guys really admit the truth this is about this man color? It is not about where he came from, what you don't know about him, you can't trust him, or his experience. You just don't like the idea he doesn't have the right color; if this was a white man with Obama's profile Hillary would have been out of this race. Bottom line you rather spite your face and vote for a woman who happens to be white than to vote for a black man who has everything we need in him to be a great president. It's even sadder that we have resulted to this type of behavior with the state our country is in; obviously America is not hurting to bad financially or care about our soldiers to vote McCain in just because you don't want a black man in. Remember he and Hillary policies are practically the same. So, what makes them so different, I'll say it again he is black. It's really sad!!!!!!!!!

Loyalty? Yes, he's being loyal to his country and the American people by supporting change.

This man's opinion means nothing, Hillary introduced all those issues he sites long before any of them did. This is yet ANOTHER example of a former Clinton appointee(Richardson) and now Reich(shorty) who cashed in on Clinton and now THINK they are going to cash in on Obama. I would'nt buy water from these two guys if I was in the middle of the desert.

Hillary Supporters its time to face facts! Unless Hillary makes some sort of back door deal at the convention, which I'm sure shes trying to do…there is no way she can win I mean steal the nomination. I am happy the congential liar is out! Do you really want Emperor and Empress Clinton running this country for the next fifty years?

I think it's compelling that two of Bill Clinton's former Cabinet have endorsed Obama.

Barack Obama is by far the best candidate we have going. I am very conservative. I love my Republican party but however I want to see the United States of America strong and on top again. The best person to do that is BARACK OBAMA. OBAMA '08

Totally irrelevant! He is not well known nationally at all. He isn't even a super-delegate.

The Clintons got steamboat willie to crack the whip, so if you carry the cross differently then Hillary; you'll leave with scars on your back. As if people need to know she'll bomb Tehran and leave it in cinders beacuse some nut case over there speaks like a rabit sports fan against his rival. She proves she has no diplomacy skills, and when she hears the annual fireworks on the fourth of July, she'll blow up the planet trying to dodge the sparklers.

Let's see – I want to make sure I understand this.

He has more states, but her's are more important.
He has more newspaper endorsements, but that doesn't matter.
Since Super Tuesday, he has netted 70% of the superdelegates, but they don't count.
A number of former Clinton Administration officials have made the couragous move to support Obama, but they are simply disloyal.
He has more voters, volunteers, and donors, but they are all simply misguided.

Perhaps it's time for all the Obama doubters to take a fresh look. Ignore the distractions – focus on the leader and his platform. There's room for all of you on the Obama Express – YES THERE IS!!!!!!!

This is a major endoresement, Reich is not a politician nor super delegate and has nothing to gain politically, he was one of the masterminds of the Clinton admin…he is well respected by both parties and has one of the foremost econonic minds in the country. I think he and fellows such as David Gergen are growing increasingly impatient with the Clinton's sideshow….when will Bill just shut up already, and for God sakes, stop pimping Chelsea out!!! She is painfully uncomfortable out there and I feel for her….Some MOM!

This endorsement should prove that Obama is a deep thinker and smart and intellectual in the right way. I'll bet Hillary and Bill are really mad over this.

Thank you Mr. Reich for making the right choice!

Do the mindless Hillary supporters ever stop and wonder why those, who know her best (Reich, Richardson) will NOT support her?
Wake up. Hillary is over. Obama will drag the Dems down.
You tried.

Its only going to get worse!! The Dems will eventually destroy each other and Mc Cain will win!!! Mc Cain '08
Sorry Dems, but this is a brokered nomination no matter what way its spun. Brokered nominations ALWAYS FAIL. Try again in 2012.

Since thing such as the price of gas, getting tough on oil companies, raising the standards of fuel economy, etc. I decided to do a little research.

What cars do the candidates drive? Fortunately, all three get credit for driving American makes. What strikes me as a little surprising is that out of the three, Obama (who you could say is the most liberal out of the bunch) drives the biggest car with the biggest engine and with the worst fuel milage.

Obama – Chrysler 300c V8 (fuel economy 15/23)
Clinton – Mercury Mariner Hybrid (fuel economy 34/30)
McCain – Cadillac CTS V6 (fuel economy 16/25)

Thought that was interesting.

Clintons are too dishoest to go back to the White House

Here's something else that's exciting, John Edwards was wearing an Obama pin last night on the Colbert report!

Great News !

Long time friends of the Clinton's know what is REAL and I am so glad they are making the right choice to back the best candidate to effect real change for the American people in Washington.

I know there are more and hope they will do the same.

It's time for REAL change in Washington, it's tiem for Barack Obama for president !

These so called moderators are as biased as their network. Why the new twist to old news. It implies a frindship? He supported Obama way back, why the re-hash?

of course it matters! Robert Reich, Bill Richardson, Sam Nunn. These are some of the brightest minds in our country who recognize the power of a unified country. Elitist? Dont you think it is a good thing for the President to be smarter than average Joe (unlike the last 8 years). BTW don't forget their is only one person in this country powerful enought to unite the Republican party and that is Hillary herself. They want her to win the primary because they will come out of the wood work to defeat her.

This guy has known Hillary Clinton since Obama was in first grade. He served under Bill Clinton and his disillusionment with her is significant because it shows that she's gone beyond the point which loyal friends can tolerate keeping quiet.

I think Obama has got endorsements from some of the most educated and well informed politicians to date.This says a lot about how efficient Obama will be when he is president.

What policies? Everything I've heard from Obama is very vague, always referring back to "change" and "changing the way Washington works", but anything even slightly specific seems to echo Hillary's ideas and then watered down so they are non-committal. Isn't that the way Washington works?

FYI :- I've never met anybody who wanted to support a looser or a lier in my over 40 years of age, keep it coming people coz we're closing this game sortly………. try again in 2012 Hilary and hopefully u will be too old since you cannot remember a thing now at 60, 60 + 4 = 64

I admit he is absolutely right when he said
"Although Hillary Clinton has offered solid and sensible policy proposals, Obama's strike me as even more so," Reich wrote on his blog. He served as the Secretary of Labor from 1993-1997 and is currently a professor at Brandeis University.
"His plans for reforming Social Security and health care have a better chance of succeeding," Reich continued. "His approaches to the housing crisis and the failures of our financial markets are sounder than hers. His ideas for improving our public schools and confronting the problems of poverty and inequality are more coherent and compelling. He has put forward the more enlightened foreign policy and the more thoughtful plan for controlling global warming."

Which Clinton is Running for Office?

Has anyone noticed that today Bill Clinton is campaigning in 6 places today, while Hillary is doing so in 2 places. And on Saturday Bill Clinton is campaigning in 4 places and Hillary in 2. Obama is campainging in 3 places on Friday and 5 places on Saturday, and Michelle is campaigning on Friday? The schedule is on the ABC Website. Point is, which Clinton is really running? And, will it be the same in the White House regarding Trade policy, etc.?? These questions need to be raised.

Could it be that former Clinton administrators are worring about this?

How could anyone back Obama;constantly twists words to meet his own selfish motives.I guess that he backs Obama's Minister who preaches God Dam America in his sermons.Hillary is more honest than either of them.

To Susan, (first blog)
THIS DOES MATTER. More and more are jumping on the bus with Obama, because they see how Hillary is tearing down the Democratic party! How dare you say Obama is critical? That is so opposite! This man has only tried to defend himself against the lies of Hillary's dirty campaign! Give me a break! Her campaign is a waste of time at this point….Goodbye Hillary! And thank you to Reich!

Yes we can! Obama 08

I just don't understand why the Clintons feel that everyone that worked under their cabinet should endorse them. Those who wish to endorese him have the right to do so. Clinton supporters are so wrapped around thier own world. GET OVER IT.
Obama 08

Now thats making a statement…. Hope hes not harshly judged as Richardson was… We welcome your support Reich and thank you for making a solid and sound decision.

Obama 08

Anybody can turn out policies that sound good, but without the experience to carry them out it doesn't mean much. And that sums up Obama — an untested man who just sounds good!

Not to worry. Who really needs friends like Robert Reich? He's just one more opportunist/bleeding heart, just like Kerry, Kennedy and Richardson. They are suggesting that the super delegates vote the conscience of the voters. However, Senator Clinton won those primaries. Yet, they support Senator Obama. How hypocritical can some elected officials be? Go figure. I guess that is part of the reason. They can talk out of both sides of their mouths. And, do it well too!

Oh well, stay tuned. More to come.

What a biased headline. Reading his remarks long before this, anyone would know he is not a Clinton "friend."

I have been reading the blogs on cnn for months now, and I am tired of the same old stupid comments. People wake up and look at what's going on around you. No matter what you say or think, you can't stop progress whether it be Clinton or Obama. Just be grateful that (hopefully) we want have another 4-8 yrs of republicans. I am an Obama supporter and would gladly vote for Hillary if she wins the nomination. Others should look at it in the same way. No matter who's the nominee vote (Democrate)!!!!!!!!!!!!

I know a sales person when I see one. Hillary is really a good sales person, but she is a really good car sales person but not a great sales person of ideas and hopes. She really comes across as an intellectual lightweight. In a presidential race she has found every skin deep, surface argument to counter a serious and mature discussion that has been so required in this time. To be a great person sometimes one has to think beyond one's self. She can't even rise above the moment in such CRITICAL times. What can one really expect from her Presidency? Whining like she did, unfair media, then Bill comes out yesterday and refutes how she has never whined. Where is the dignity?or it's concept? Hillary maybe the first serious Presidential nominee, but she is not a serious individual. She would make a great used car sales lady however!

On the one hand Hilary Clinton supporters say they are simply endorsing Barack Obama for a cabinet position. On the other hand they say he is unelectable. The only position you can take based on those two points, Is that all these seasoned politicians who have spent their entire adult lives looking at the political tea leaves are wrong or is it maybe that your emotional support of Hilary Clinton is blinded you to the fact of what's happening.

Go Obama!!!

FOR HILLARY, TIME TO LEARN MAKING COOKIES HAS COME!!!!!

So, suddenly it's ok for superdelegates to choose the nominee, huh? You Obambies want it only one way – your way. Never mind the established rules. (Florida, Michigan). As long as superdelegates elect Obamby, it's ok. God forbid they should elect Hillary. I can hear the screams now. Just like I heard the screams from all of you after the last debate. OMG, the "golden boy" was picked on. How dare anybody pick on the darling "golden boy". Must have something to do with racism.

By the way, did you see the debate? Obamby couldn't utter a coherent sentence. But he is gooood at reading a teleprompter. I guess that's good enough for a president. We had one like that for the past 7 years.

Keep it up. The cry baby needs cradling.

All these endorsement for Obama that in His political life did nothing yet.
If is the next President which I doubt, He will have lots of problem to accommodate all these politicians that endorsed him.

Hillary 08

I feel that those who make the nominee switch do so for very good reasons — for this country. Wake up people, we are in one hot mess!!!

It is not just up to the next President to get us out of this mess…we have to help them as well so we better get used to CHANGE!!!

GO OBAMA!!!

This Latino wants to ride that Obama train to Penn Ave!!!!!!!

Porter, punch my ticket!!!!!!!

PS: Have always voted Republican – not this year. Obama's the right person for this country!

60% of Americans think that Hillary Clinton is "not trustworthy" .
It's clear that she won't be the president, but why do we need a Governor like this??

I'll ask again, can any HRC supporter tell me what has Hillary ever done or solved?

Please enlighten me on her record so I can research and see for myself because I've researched and found nothing on her.

Hey CNN, you posted a ticker article reporting that the McCain camp was accusing Obama of "reckless dishonesty" in the way he quoted McCain, but you didn't bother to include the actual exact words said by McCain. Don't you think you ought to include that in the article, so readers could judge for themselves whether Obama had been dishonest?

Now, here is EXACTLY what McCain said:

"I think if you look at the overall record, and millions of jobs having been created, etcetera etcetera, you could make an argument that there's been great progress economically over that period of time." [meaning the period since George Bush took office]

CNN, don't you think you ought to include this in the article about Obama's "reckless dishonesty" (according to the McCain camp)?

I fail to see any dishonesty at all. Obama quoted McCain quite accurately.

People are getting off from the clintons boat. The boat is sinking when it all the way under the water Hillary, Bill and chelsey will be the only people on it.

Paybacks are due….Hillary

Conscience?What a bunch of garbage?Another reason nobody in their right mind will vote Obama for President.The line-up of people sucking up to Obama,knowing that he has NO-ONE in his history to fill ANY cabinet post and therefore will have to take people from the old political guard is getting endless.We have Kennedy,Kerry,Leahy,Richardson,Reich,(what no black people?).The change message is beginning to look lie the biggest political lie ever told.

RR is and has always been looking out for himself. He would have been on the team months ago except he was worried that Hillary might win. I hope Hillary can somehow win so all these losers who are now coming out for Obama can crawl back into there ratholes and disappear for another 8 years.

It is interesting that these people who are so close to the clintons, don't approve of their politics. It is very telling. Between Obama, McCain, and Clinton – based on my education on the issues and my strong moral conviction – Obama is the only candidate I can whole-heartedly support.

Jonathan – get a clue.

Maggie – I couldn't imagine that anyone you like would ever be president. You are repulsive.

Seems to me that many of the people who know the Clintons don't like Hillary, either.

Has anyone noticed that the Billary supporters write in CAPITAL LETTERS?….do you think they're frustrasted by being behind in all counts?….Hmmmm….think so.

Reich is just another Juda who received bribery money from the Obama camp. ABC just nailed Obama point blank, and the rest of the media are scrambling to find the ground for their puppy.

ATTENTION!!!!! ATTENTION!!!!!!!!! All Hillary supporters, rejoice on Tuesday because that's gonna be your ONLY victory. Now let's wrap this thing up and be done with it.

Wow, it just keeps comming.

Behind in states won.

Behind in the delegate count.

Behind in the popular vote.

Has a net LOSS of 3 superdelegates since Super Tuesday.

And folks that have known her for years support her rival over her.

Seems Hillary's only purpose here is to try and take down the Democratic party and Obama so she can have a run in 2012. That is definitely not the kind of person that I'd vote for…..

Wow talk about bitter Clinton supporters are really bitter. If I lived in the u.s.a I would be bitter with the loss of jobs, mortgages foreclosures weak dollar, and the loss of life in the war. Just because a peron knows the Clintons from Law School doesn't mean they have to jump when they speak. I can't believe people want another president in who is about themselves instead of your country. GO Obama GO

YES WE CAN……..

YES WE CAN………

YES WE CAN………..

And I will on June 3rd, 2008…….

You pack of Hillbilly burgers are too funny. Obama lies…Obama's a terrorist…Obama this….Obama that….

You know good and well you are secretly watching those rallies wishing you could be there with all the excitement.

Come on over to the right side and have yourself the good life that you and all Americans deserve.

Hmmm, kinda' curious that these guys are jumping on the Obama Express now. Looks like they're auditioning for possible cabinet spots.

Mr. Al Gore, we are waiting on you. Come aboard!

Obama 08

. . ."My conscience won't let me be silent any longer." Reich, you a trip.

Yes We Can.

John 8:32

Then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.

People are begining to realize that the best way to go is the OBAMA WAY.. All you hilary lovers please stop crying about betrayal. It is obvious that previous supporters made a mistake and are redeeming themselves be switching to Obama. Better late than never!

OBAMA IS SLICK-

REICH, NUNN AND BORAN HAVE BEEN OBAMA ADVISOR FOR MONTHS– THIS IS OLD NEWS!!!!!!

The liberal dems are determined to shove this guy down our throat, no matter how much he screws up or cannot win in the GE. A party that would elect someone like Obama, no longer represents my interest. Good bye to the Dem Party!

what conscience?
he just proved to be a whimp who is afraid of female leadership.
ANY EIGHTH grader who put obama's resume next to clintons not to mention his many lies and huge overwieght baggage cant possibly come out with obama's name in their hand.

if you were running a company and you had to choose from these two
who would YOU choose.

this has become a regular freak show.

That's okey, he just got endorsed by Hamas, which he declined Now add Louis Farracahn, which he also declined, Jerimiah Wright, and all he needs now is Al Qaeda, and Muqtada al-Sadr and that Iranian guy. That would just about cover the Muslim Islamic terriost network. Even though he has declined their support, don't you wonder why they do support him?

YIKES! Hill-liar-y is under more sniper fire…this time, from within!

HILLARY YOU DONT NEED TRAITORS LIKE THIS. IT SHOWS THE RESPECT THEY GIVE YOU AFTER ALL YOU HAVE DONE FOR THEM AND OUR COUNTRY. O.B. CAN ONLY TAKE YOUR LEFT OVERS ANYWAYS. HE COPIE'S YOU AND TAKES YOUR SECONDS.

Thought Reich was an intelligent man rather than puppy dog. Reich, I have also read the policy proposals they are completely different. One health care plan doesn't provide health care to all while the other does. Increasing payroll tax to shore up Social Security is not going to work.

Then again I would not expected an ultra liberal conscious such as yours would have allowed you to do anything else. By the way an ultra liberal democrat has not won a general election and CNN is the only MSM that picked up this story.

You must be guest analyst at CNN and I doubt CNN would post this anyway.

I have a question for that loud mouth Carville. Is Reich another Judas?

Go Obama…Yes we can!!!

Things that have fickled me:

1. How NONE of Obama's wins or endorsement mean anything! Wow!

2. How the Hillary supporters say that Obama cant win against McCain that's why they are gonna vote for McCain in Nov! Irony?!

3. How all of clinton's must wins becomes BOTH candidates must wins!

4. How everyone on this ticker that calls for Fl and Mi to count comes from neither state!!

5. Obama is buying the election and these are JUST the primaries!!

Will Hilliry say to her supporters about Reich like she said about those Southern White Boys " Screw em." I hope people remember what she said to Bill about the White People down South. This is the person you want in the White House hahahahaha.

Obama 08

also, 2 messages for those who believe this race is "over" and hrc supporters should just "give it up."

1. tuesday's results in pa which will be a 10 point + margin for hrc according to internal polls, will clearly indicate that this race is anything but over.

2. should obama win the nomination, he's going to struggle mightly winning the general. i'm not voting for mccain, but i ain't casting a presidential vote for obama either. and i suspect, you'll see a lot of that as predicted by the polls, and vice-versa for obama supporters should hrc win the nomination.

here's the thing, though: i'm 100% confident that hrc can win the nomination even without some percentage of disaffected obama supporters because hrc (1) has actually won the key democratic states necessary for any democrat to win the white house, (b) she has continued to dominate obama in support among registered democrats, and (c) related to point b, hrc isn't dependent on pulling off the vegas "trifecta" of pulling together cross-over independents (all historical data shows independents overwhelmingly vote republican), pulling together cross-over republicans (if they won't support a documented moderate like mccain, who will they support), and (c) getting registered democrat support on par with historical precedents.

…so if he wins, we lose, and we'll just strap this strap up do to this whole rodeo thing over again in 4 years…minus, of course, the freshman senator from illinois who's "can't win the general" tag will no longer be mere conjecture but irrefutable fact.

"we hope you enjoy your stay in obama-land!"

Yes We Can!!!!!

It's funny watching HRC supporters squirm. You have to give it to them for their optimism, but even if she dominates PA by an unprecedented landslide, it's over. HRC better start focusing on Governor of NY while she had a ounce of credibility…

It is good to see that the the intelligent are alive and well in America. Charlie and George sandbagged Obama at the debate the other night. That speaks volumes for those two men. The intelligent can see through the smoke they tried to raise. Dishonesty is immoral Charlie and George. I understand George's need to get back into the fold of the Clintons again, but do it some other way George.

Good for you senator,,join the rest of the awakened and forward thinking people!!!!!!!

Obama 08!!!!

Welcome aboard!!! It is gettin' mighty crowded on the Obama train!!!

GOBAMA!!!!!

I have long been a fan of Robert Reich and I appreciate and respect his opinion. I wish he was a candidate.

KAREN IN CAP COD

WHO NEEDS A LIAR FOR PRESIDENT

We didn't stay out of the Bushes when we were told to do so and see what we got. The highest Foreclosure rate in how many years, the highest unemployment rate, and so much more. Bitterness is an understatement.

Yet again, we are being told that the Clintons will do anything to win. While the Clintons are racking up 800,000 for Free Trade Speeches,and their advisers are making deals with Columbia/Free Trade, people are losing their houses, having their care repossessed, are without Universal Health. Warning! Stay away from the Clinton's.

Obama for A NEW DAY!!. Yes We Can. OBAMA '08

Of course he backed O – he actually dated Hillary – enough said!

guys what are you doing? you will make Bill criticize you and hate you for doing the right thing guys.
everyone is joining Obama train wagon and they saw the hope of fututre on him and that doesn't drive well with Billary Clintons.

Okay Mr. Dean you are right the supperdelegates should make their moves NOW. This is going out of hand Hillary can't make up for the pledgedelegates gap to win the nomination and her present situation at the moment is to destroy the party.

She thinks it is a joke to do anything against a fellow Democrats. DNC have to put a stop into it and Howard Dean yourself have to endorse your candidate NOW.

ANOTHER STINKEN TRAITOR GOING OVER TO THE CHIOR BOY. O.B. CANT WIN DEBATES ,BECAUSE HE CANT LIE AND SMOOTH IT OVER IN FRONT OF MILLIONS OF PEOPLE. ON CAMPAIGN'S HE CAN LIE THAN SMOOTH IT OVER WITH A SPEECH LATER. HRC CAN SPEAK RIGHT OUT WITHOUT STUTTERING. GO HRC.

Actually Pam, I hope Carville tears him a new one.

. . .It is probably becoming a reality to the delegates that Hillary just can't win. She has lost the delegate count. Popular vote(her negativity
rating is 68%), and number of states won. This simple mathmatics.
It is time to face that reality.

Based on the opinions of many of the Clinton supporters Barack Obama is going to have a hard time putting the Democratic party back. However no one can say he did not win the election fair and square. I have a question for Hilary Clinton supporters, if the superdelagates give it to someone who has significantly less pledged delagates, and less votes how can Hilary Clinton possible put back the coalition. Can you imagine what the Republicans will say, "The Clinton machine with their backroom dealing overturned the will of the democratic primary voter, is this who YOU want back in office, someone who doesn't respect the will of the voters". They fact of the matter is Clinton supporters in November will have to decide if they are democratic party members or simply personal cheerleaders.

Thanks Robert Reich for endorsing Senator Obama, the People's Choice for President. Hopefully more supporter's conscience won't let them be silent any longer and endorse Senator Obama. You heard Hillary say it loud; YES, YES, YES, Obama can win! We knew it all the time! OBAMA "08″

Well, of course, Reich is a well educated guy and not an un-educated dropout incapable of a rationale thought…..

Yet another who has seen the light. Keep those endorsements coming Barack!

Obama '08

"jt April 18th, 2008 2:50 pm ET

Onather loser that want to be in the news. It is beginning like the Paris Hilton, the more losers on his side the more media attention he got.

Hillary 08!!!"
—————————–

———————————–
Clinton supporters are so dumb they can't even write a simple blog post at a 4th grade level.

People with brains vote Democrat, and smart Democrats vote Obama.

What's up that some of the folks who are/were very close to Hillary now supporting another candidate (Obama)? Let's see, could it be they know something we don't. Apparently somethings her supporters don't know. Get a clue!!!!!

Hillary spporters, lend an ear.. Let rap a bit. Okay, here we have a recent trend of Hillary's friends who are going over to Obama. Granted, we voters know our politics to some extent, however EVERY SINGLE TIME a man/woman takes into account the backlash he/she's gonna receive for going to Obama's side, you have to admit : THEY MUST KNOW SOMETHING THAT WE DON'T. It's not always just about supporting someone cause they are your friend, cause they are a woman or black. It takes great courage to do what many of these guys are doing. they know people are going to hammer them, but they are lookin to what the country will benefit from. I'm an OBAMA supporter, but I long favored the CLINTONS until this campaign.

My point is: not everyone is a traitor or Judas or stupid. Maybe we just see something that you guys also see but don't want to. Understand their policies are similar, but they is something extra OBAMA has that struck me. — the ability to bridge gaps. Hillary hasn't yet demostrated that. That's why I support OBAMA.

SUSAN MO

OBOMA DO NOT NEED YOUR VOTE. BOTH YOU AND THE MEDIA NEED TO GET OFF THE BASHING WAGON OF OBOMA. GOD KNOWS OBOMA HEART AND THEREFORE HE DOES NOT NEED YOUR VOTE TO MAKE IT TO THE WHITE HOUSE. NO ONE CAN OUT DO THE WORK OF THE LORD AND HE'S WORKING EVERYTHING OUT FOR OBOMA

OBOMA O8 PRESIDENT

I have never seen Hillary Clinton wear an American Flag lapel pin. She is therefore clearly unpatriotic, and I will not vote for who on those grounds!

So whenever something bad happens to Obama like doing terrible in a debate, CNN just posts a bunch of endorsements to show their favor of Obama. Of course theres no mention of how Obamas national lead has shrank by 8 points since after his terrible debate performance. CNN wont post this since it is Pro-Clinton/
Hillary 08

CNN is as bad as ABC – This should be the lead story, the architect of the Clinton economic boom backing Obama rather than the McCain campaign's rebuttal of Obama's speech. Come on guys – you are supposed to be the serious news outfit

You will see a lot more of this as the pressure is increased to have these folks make a decision. Please Hillary supporters, support your party and the policies of the Democratic Party. This is not a popularity contest, this is our country's future. Even we our favorite team loses, we still support the victor.

Doesnt it seem that most Hillary supporters, or just plain Obama Critics, always seem to be complaining, admit it, he is better at presenting him self than she is, period. I dont see many Obama supporters complaing about him being dowm in PA, we are people that move forward an role with the punches. So please stop trying to destroy a man that has the support of most of the nation. Most half smart people would agree with Reich, and anyone with half a brain would take his opinion as being valid. OBAMA 08

Hey James Carville,
Once you foul out the game you can't just jump back in for the last 3 minutes!
I guess Senators Nunn and Boren and former Clinton Labor Secretary Reich are all Judases. If that is so the J. Carville is a "goner"!!!!

Mr. Reich is right Barrack Obama is the better cannidate over all and has a better plan for presidency than Sen.Clinton. He is also right on the fact that Bill Clintons comments are disgraceful and unnecesary.

Hang it up liar. Your days on the campaign are finished.

Oh stop complaining Hillary supporters!! You know Hillary gets caught up in her lies because she's repeating "what somebody told her"! She never does any research and her campaign members are dishonest as well. This is who you want to represent the democrats in November?! Bill said "Obama was crying and complaining"! Wasn't that what Hillary was doing – with the fake tears to get peity votes! WAKE UP you Clinton democrats!

I think NOT!

GO OBAMA 08′

Just got a phone call from a belligerent Obama campaign worker for me to donate $1000 to Obama's campaign. Hillary starts with $25, a reasonable amount for an out of work female. Obama's volunteers will do him in expecting $1000 from ordinary Americans.

This campaign has been a good sign for the Clintons family. They can now sit down and learn how to choose friends. All these crooks who surrounded themselves to the Clintons when they needed help now they are running away to a man who showed his true colors yesterday when he brushed off senator Clinton in NC. There is no way the Americans will put a man who has that kind of Ghetto life sytle behavior to be our president. All the traitors will learn a lesson after November

i love how both campaigns actively and aggressively pursue every single endoresement that they can think of. whether its personal, professional or otherwise. but as soon as obama picks up any mutually sought after endorsement, the clinton campaign and clinton supporters immediately brand that supporter, and his or her endorsement, meaningless.

like how bill clinton was fuming over the 'betrayal' of bill richardson's obama endorsement while other clinton surrogates were marginalizing his support as 'meaningless.' really? meaningless? then why was everyone so upset that he chose who he thought would be the best president as opposed to simply falling into line behind his political puppet masters?

at the beginning of this whole process, the clinton campaign's inevitablilty message was such that since she had the political infrastructure and the backing of so many of the superdelegates (who, incidentally, made up their minds long before the race had even taken shape out of perceived political opportunism or blind loyalty and certainly NOT based on a careful consideration of who would make the best nominee) it was not even worth it to challenge her. as soon as the tables have turned and obama has the lead – in such categories as fundraising, popular vote, pledged delegates, elected superdelegates, etc. etc. etc. – those categories are now deemed as meaningless as the support of anyone who pledges their support to obama as opposed to clinton.

down with the 2 political dynastic families – its time to put an end to the sham democracy and actually elect someone different. and by different, i do not mean the geriatric grumpy senator from arizona.

Are the statements truly critical and inaccurate, or has Barack spoken truthfully of the realities rooted heavily within this nation? A truth to such an extent that these individuals find it easier to become defensive and upset, rather than accept the smallest possibilities of a stage towards enlightenment of one's true self. I believe Barack Obama has exposed the roots of this America, which have become reflective through outrage, hostility, and humility. To make a difference within America we all must tear away that outer layer, and introduce our inner selves; therefore, making apparent the lines of division, and discovering ways to eliminate them in hopes of creating a more united America.

Lee Johnson
Columbia SC

In other words, those who have EXPERIENCED true Hillary Clinton, vote for Barack Obama. Funny… I just thought that Bill Clinton just might be one of those people ))

The worst thing Hillary did was turn Bill loose on the campaign trail. She should have just told him to stay home and watch it on TV. He puts his foot in his mouth every time he speaks. She had a fair chance of winning in the beginning of the primaries, but now she's making a mockery out of the Democratic Party.

Obama is the one that can unite America again and make this country a better place for everyone.

Don't forget to vote next Tuesday fellow PA residents!!
Say YES to change!!
—-Obama 2008/12—–

thank you thank you thank you, Yes

Mr. Reich you have put it as it is, that is the huge difference between them (well one), he is honest, no matter what the clinton and Rush and Ann Coulter say………….

Obama was right. Some of guys here are bitter. It is time to end primary race and let Obama face Mccain and put him where he merit to be … with Bush club. Change si for now, not tomorrow. Obama 08 and 12. The whole wold is watching you guys ! Make history and Do the right thing: Vote Obama for real politics with respect and direct talk.

Good Baby sitting CNN
This news look like you are giving candy for your crying baby
Good job
Hillary 08 or Mc Cain 08

You Hillary supporters seem to be rather "bitter". It's a wonder you support a candidate who is running a completely negative campaign… the apples don't fall to far from the tree.

Susan MO: You'd be a lot more credible if you could spell.

Call I can say is……..

"YES WE CAN"!!!!!!!

The reason behind the endorsement: People have enough of "Name Calling" from Hillary Clinton. Her negative campaign is helping the Neo-con. If she really cares about the progress for the country, she will stop the attack.

Endorsements come marching in hurrah hurrah
The supers have already made up their mind, they are just trying to make it "easy" on Clinton, giving this thing a chance to wind down…they know more than they let on….

Hillary needs to go away with her supporters, they don't make a lot of sense and they are making me shy and annoyed that we can have people like them in America after all the money we spend on education.

So anyone that worked in the Clinton Administration should vote for Hillary. Is this how you understand the phrase 'freedom of choice'?
Don't you know that America is a 'land of the free' and 'home of the brave'

Nobody owes anything to the Clintons…In fact those who worked with the Clintons and are now supporting Barack are the ones that truely love America….not the Clintons…or their supportors.

His going for Obama means nothing to me. I already made up my mine and I'm not changing it.

I am going for experience not someone who just talks. Obama reminds me of Bush seven years ago. He was all talk and we all know what that got us. Obama will be more of the same. He is going to divide this country and not bring it together.

Hillary should have ran, as a Democrat. Her and Bill were used, right from the start it seems. Now she needs to salvage whatever she can put together, and get the Hell out of there.. Don't help them anymore. Take what you can Girl, and Blow.. Let that ship SinK.. Don't go down with them…

Very interesting … It appears as though the people who are in a position to best know the Clintons are making 'choices of conscience to back Senator Obama'. That speaks more volumes than all of the campaign speeches, polls and rhetoric…

Big deal, it's obviously a cabinet play and not a policy distinction he's making which completely shreds any credibility. If anyone knows Hillary since law school like he does, he would never be so transparently grabbing for an inside post — I also dont recall him turning down a seat in Clinton's cabinet.

I expect politicians to be craven but not so called academics.

Give me Madeline Albright and Robert Rubin in Hillary's corner anyday! Also former Clinton cabinet members whose integrity and stature dwarf Reich–and no that was not a pun but a fact.
GO HILLARY!!!

how disappointing, no loyalty here from this man.

Ouch!!

Yes we Can!!

Bill catch Hillary before she do a 3:am call. People are voting for a change from the Clinton's trend.

ANOTHER CLOWN
JOIN THE CIRCUS TEAM

I have just decided that I am going to vote for Obama also. With all this player hating going on this guy must be doing something good. Every time I turn on to fox or Lou Dobbs, all I can hear is criticism against Obama and I know from experience people don't talk about you unless you are worth something. I have monitored this campaign season and all I can hear from the Clintons is criticism. This is really the man to beat and I am going to help make this historical event happen. He is going to be our next president. Why isn't the republicans worried about Hillary Clinton? that's because they don't feel threaten by her. This guy will beat John McCain. And Hillary is only worried because she knows he can beat her and John McCain and that he and not her will be the next president.

To all you Hillary Supporters out there…

STOP BEATING A DEAD HORSE….
THAT DOG WON'T HUNT….

IT'S OVER, BABE….

OBAMA 08

How can Hillary, as intelligent and "experienced" as she is, not see the writing on the White House wall? Or does she need new contact lenses?

OBAMA OBAMA OBAMA!

Senator McCain,
I salute your service, your toughness under the most trying circumstances, and acknowledge your qualifications as CINC. You are one Rep I could vote for if I could stomach the party of Rush Ann C K Rove et al. You're wrong on the war and you couldn't beat GWB when it counted. Hillary's just as tough and Barack will shake it up.

Some people are finding the reality that the Clintons will do anything to get back in the Whitehouse…take his advice and open your eyes to actually see who's taking the Columbian money and laughing at us…sorry Billary….you've wasted your supporters money…maybe in 8 years…..God you'll be 69….shame.

Who cares? He is not a superdelegate so it is meaningless. Richardson is a superdelegate.

Obama NO YOU CAN"T!!

GO HILLARY!!

IF NOT McCain!!

Way to go Mr. Reich.

The country is in a turmoil right now because of Bush. We didn't listen when we were told to get out of the BUSHES. And we are still not listeneing when we are told that the CLINTON'S will do anything to win.

Obama is our only hope for A NEW DAY. O

THIS SUMS UP OBAMA SUPPORTERS PERFECTLY ..AND IT IS FROM A REPORTER:

" I have to say some of the reaction from Obama's supporters has that arrogant, cult of personality quality to it, as if questioning Obama on these matters is simply beyond the bounds of decency. Take the Sun-Times" (gives examples)

TRUE TRUE TRUE

I can't vote for her because she voted to give W the authority to attack Iraq. She caved in to political pressure and endorsed the murder, missmanagement and mayhem that ensued. She is an insider who helped to destroy our country.

Reich is a smart but overly idealistic man. He projects the high ideals that he has onto others, who only espouse but do not live the ideals ex: Barack Obama
Reich in his endorsement of Obama , has just exposed his extreme naivete regarding what people portray, and who they truly are.

There is nothing to LOYALTY anymore. How Sad. Even if you choose to vote for someone else, you should keep it silent. Since Obama is ahead, everyone is joining the bandwagon for appointments on his cabinets and other key positions. I hope none of this comes back to BITE.

It only takes a little contest called "Race to the Whitehouse" to find out who Hillary's friends really are…

Hillary 08

moses hillary was supposed to win PA remember: i think she said a blow out. so, Obama and his supporters are expecting a lost. However, that won't cahnage the game. She still will be behind in EVERY MAJOR CATEGORY.

TIME TO PULL TOGETHER FOR THE GOOD OFTHE PARTY!

Instead of looking at it negatively some of your morons should take it as people who have known the Clintons since their college days are basically washing their hands of her and her gutter politics to endorse Obama, I mean cmon, do you need an etch n sketch to figure it out. HRC is cancer right now, and unless more of these Superdelegates don't distance themselves away from her, her potency to destroy will infect them as well.

It speaks more about her character in general than it does about any Obama flaw. Any flaws Obama has the Republicans will find them and gladly point them out but what Hillary is doing is clearly trying to go down fighting as dirty as she needs to and she is gonna take the Democratic Party down with her if they let her. It's time to use common sense and jump off the HRC Titanic before she sinks everyone including new voters who were thrilled about getting into the political process who now only see the bloodsport that turned people off of it from the get go.

So I guess Sam Nunn and David Boren officially endorsing Obama today also means nothing. What has to happen for people to get it? Will Vernon Jordan have to say enough is enough and endorse Obama for it to hit to heart with her? Will people in Arkansas have to formally turn their back to her and her brand of politics for it to sink in? Or does Pennsylvania have to be the one place to show her the exit door? She may win PA but she is not gonna win it by more than 10%, that much is guaranteed and she is not gonna earn enough delegates of anything to put a dent in Obama's lead cuz he is gonna annihillate her in Philadelphia Mr Nutter aside. Her gutter politics have turned her own consituents off. Like I said before, Clinton is sealing her own fate and Obama doesn't have to do anything but stay consistent and positive. She's already lost North Carolina and Indiana may be the stake that finally kills Dracula.

Thank you, Mr. Reich! There's nothing more telling than a long-time friend of the Clintons endorsing Barack!

OBAMA '08 and '12

Susan,

At what point will the overwhelming amount of supporters and superdelegates matter to you? Since Feb. 5, Obama has received 80 superdelegates to Clinton's 5, yet this is inconsequential in your eyes. At what point will you say "There's no way she can win." When Hillary drags the Primary well into May knowing she needs 75% of the vote in Oregon and Kentucky, will it matter then? How about when she is mathematically eliminated? Will it matter then?

Clinton has already hurt herself with her critical remarks about Obama to the people of PA.

Another debate would be superfluous – we have become quite familiar with Clinton's debate style and Obama' s hopes for the country.

Obama has gained my vote and many others as we get to know of his integrity and of Clinton's attack mode.

It is good to see so many endorsements after the attacks. We have Clinton to thank for that.

Being that Obama and Clinton have little differences in their approaches to "fixing" things, I don't think this guy is sharing honestly his opinion on why he won't vote for Clinton. He is intimidated by women.

Thank you Robert Reich, thank you. For those decided and undecided democrats who may not know that much about Robert Reich, please do some research on him and you will fully understand why he knows Obama is the best for the nominee and president. Robert Reich has been "in touch" with America in his writings and speeches for many years.

Cool, it is time to chose between loyalty to royal family (Bush or Clinton) and loyalty to the country. He should have mentioned Iraq war as well.

Obama 2008

Way to go insiders for disenfranchising the real democrats and creating apathy for the party. Amazing how elite dems, repubs & indeps voting in dem primaries and ignorant youth will thwart the Dem party yet again. The sheep are led to the wolves yet again. Because all the HRC supporters are dems, unlike most Obama supporters, and they would rather deal with MCCAIN than the Obama factor.

Watch out. According to Edwards, Carville hasn't gotten his shots yet.

The Clinton say that people should vote their conscience, Here is one that just did. Now what???
Obama 08!!!

Ouch! That's gotta hurt…

It is amusing reading the whining of all the "bitter" Billary sock puppets on this blog. Face facts, Billary is circling the drain. The United States fought the British over the idea of a Royal Family some 232 years ago, therefore Billary would have to earn the White House, not have it handed to her.

Meanwhile, despite running the Democratic Party since 1992, Billary has been getting punked at her own game using her own rules. Now all she can do is throw mud. Funny thing is, the ones that know her best are now backing the other guy.

Seems to me that my own party set themselves up way back when Howard Dean became DNC chairman. Dean was bumped out of the previous race because he looked foolish and ill-equipped. It probably wasn't a fair depiction of him but since that IS the image people have of him….why put him in charge of the DNC?

this is deep. i heard this guy actually went on a date with hilary before she met bill. if he is jumping ship, then god bless hilary…\

former secretary reich then concluded his comments by saying: "we welcome you, the lollipop guild, the lollipop guild, the lollipop guild, we welcome you, the lollipop guildddddd….we hope you enjoy your stay in munchin land!"

consider me underwhelmed.

i didn't think the clinton's had any friends.if even your friends won't vote for you ,then it seems like your only supporters are probably republicans,who are afraid to run against obama.

What is wrong with you people. If your candidate is losing or recieves an endorsement you go of the deep in to denegrate the endorsement or the person! this is crazy! you all claim to want what's best in America, but you only want what you think is best. the system is in place for a reason and according to the system that the DNC has been using (WITH NO COMPLAINTS) for decades Obama is winning. now Clinton supporteers are saying it is not fair.

this same system elected Clinton in 92 and 96 and it was fair then. Obama got 13 million votes, he can't be that bad if that many people agree with him and his ideas. he is not leading a cult, these voters believe in him, to dinegrate them is silly.

To dinegrate hillary supporters only serves to push them further away. They love Hillary and want her to be nominee, she deserves our respect.

Now having said that our enemy is not Obama or Clinton, its John McCain and if we don't come togather NOW, he will benefit and he will win. Is that worth it clinton supporters. You rather go through 4 years of another repub president, than elect a democrat with the same ideas as your candidate?

even if she runs in 2012, her negatives from this election alone will doom her again! Its not kool-aid! people are inspired by obama and we are not asking you to love him, but we need your support to get to where DEMOCRATS need to be to win!! Let's stop the selfishness and pull together to defeat the conservatives!

After 21 debates I believe I know where my vote is going! I'll take the one who answers questions most directly. The one who doesn't resort to mudslinging as a last ditch effort to make a bid for the presidency. Hilary is what's wrong with politics and if she would've spent as much time talking issues instead of trash talking she might still have a chance. Better for us she doesn't!

I don't understand why HRC supporters have to be so acrimonious. Say Obama get's the nomination (which looks like it's heading that way)…You would really want to: a) not vote or b) cast a vote for McCain, and continue the failed bush legacy? Please, please, be reasonable! I'm an Obama supporter, but would vote Hillary in a heartbeat if she gets the nom. I see a lot of comments from HRC supporters saying BO is a whiner..well really, the most whining I see is coming from the other side of the fence, and it's completely unfounded. Should Hillary loose the nomination, there is still an amazing choice in Obama. This is NOT the general election..the loosing candidates' supporters will still be winners! It's win/ win. I think it's wiser to put the animosity aside, and be a responsible voter. You joined the Democratic party for a reason…don't loose sight of the desired end result. Barack Obama or Hillary Clinton, YES WE CAN! let's get together Dems!

HERE COMES THAT FLOOD OF SUPERDELEGATES THAT OBAMA NEEDED. REICH MAY NOT BE A SUPERDELEGATE BUT THIS IS A BULL HORN CALL TO SUPERDELEGATES THE 'MOVEMENT' AKIN TO MARTIN LUTHER KING'S "I HAVE A DREAM SPEECH" HAPPENING.

WHAT OBAMA IS DOING IS BEYOND POLITICS, BY THE PETTINESS OF MCCAIN AND CLINTON. THIS IS ABOUT GETTING BACK TO THE COUNTRY'S CONSTITUTION ROOTS

People, you can not void someone's endorsement that knew the Clintons more than two decades, Lets really get serious "REAL" democrats. We are angry and frustrated that who we want is not the popular one. Reality Obama has proven to be a great influence in the democratic party and not a negative one. Clintons own followers and may I point our former supports are getting tired of the way they are handling this election. See this through clear lenses and not a ruby colored ones and realize if this man has "such" a influence to break ties that go back decades. What kind of President would he be. This nation needs a President that will redevelopment relationships that has been marred and distanced by war and one-sided policy.

Let give America a break and elect Obama in November.

Love the title, Clinton friend Reich endoreses Obama? It is to infer something that was never there. He Endorsed Obama way back, why report it again with a twist?

Like rats from a sinking ship. It is like the people jumping from the Titanic. interesting.

"This means nothing! He doesn't know what he's talking about and Hillary will win!"
^ Did I get it right, Clinton supporters?

It's time to unify. Dean has put pressure on the superdels to reveal their endorsements now, and the train is obviously moving in Obama's favor.

Obama's our man! Go "O"! Obama 08!

Don't give up Hillary! It ain't over yet.

2 "moses" – As a Left Liberal to a freaking right-wing nut: do yourself a favor, go vote McShame. We really DO NOT need losers like you in our party.

Talkin about undecided voters, What does this tell you? A lot of the superdelegates do not want to pronounce themselves because of their close ties with the Clinton. But as soon as this race is over, you'll see people like Al Gore align themselves with Obama simply because they know, in this defining moment of our history, partisanship won't do.

We need to stand united in order to face the country's main challenges and I'm afraid taking us back to the 90s, with the same old people back in the white House just won't do.
People need to take a serious look at these endorsements and you will see why some people "take the risk" to endorse Obama. Casey is the perfect example. His endorsement is one of conviction because not only wasn't he courted but his decision came when Obama was 11 points behind! kerry chose to endorse Obama instead of Edwards although they were both running mates! Richardson chose Obama although he served in the Clinton's administration! What does that say?
THe world already sees Clinton as someone who openly lied about her trip to Bosnia. She already lost her credibility, how do you expect her to restore our image of authentic leader? What if Clinton was president 6 years ago? SHe would have voted for the war and she would have given this country the same legacy as Bush. So if you care for this country, think again.

Thank you, Mr. Reich!

Obama is the only one who can bring us together – and get his and Hillary's good ideas IMPLEMENTED – by bringing best minds together from all perspectives.

I'm on board – and I'm excited.

America WILL be respected and part of the World community again.

to sarah jane in pa
get a life. you know president obama will be your president to so be good you may have a proublem for him to solve some day. and he will forgive your comments and help you that is how he is and i guess i can forgive you to. how many republicans in this blog acting like a dem? plenty i bet. trying to keep a sour note going get ove it

James Carville aka E.T. should be bleeding through his eyes now. i don't expect hillary to say anything about the importance of the endorsement because she is losing. am sure she will disown Pennsylvania when she loses there also. its always been her trade mark.

thanks Reich for the support. am happy you made the right decision!!!

Obama '08

This guy has known them since Yale… think about it. Maybe this guy knows some thing you don't.

I enjoy reading these comments. Not because they shed light on anything new in regards to politics, but because they all have awful grammar. I think that it is humorous to see the education levels of people who are following the elections.

Hillary Clinton is too dishonest to be President of the United Sates, and now America knows it.

Obama '08

Thank you Robert, for having the "testicular fortitude" to back Sen. Obama with some moral conviction and resolve.

Obama all the way!!!!!

Quote – "Obama also presents the best chance of creating a new politics in which citizens become active participants rather than cynical spectators."

Let's take back our government from the politics of distractions!

Obama 2008

Keep them Comingg

Isnt this like 5 or 6 in one day

Lets go OBAMA

OBAMA 08

Reich is jealous, are we sure he’s a long time friend or long time enemy pretending to be a friend.

"and is currently a professor at Brandeis University."
This is a lie. There is a big difference between a speeker and a professor. Get you rederic correct Mr. Reich.

Obama has done nothing for this country.
Find something he has done and compare that with the Clintons and you will see he talks the talk but she walks the walk.

We gotta have change Obama screams at every turn.

No, Mr. Obama, we need a doer not a talker.

I believe one strong reason that supers and others don't come out endorsing Obama is because of the fear factor.
What will the Clintons do to me?
Will my career be over?
What kind of nasty stuff will they say about me?
This is really scary mob style politics that we are seeing by the Clintons.
The mean spirited things that they and their surrogates say about those that endorse Obama is the most compelling reason for me to not vote for Hillary. This is not President material.

Robin-oma will take from the white and give to the black!! If elect this elitist liar will give us even more problems.

You are guarenteed to see people call him a traitor…

As if people shouldn't decide for themselves who to back, they should back the person they owe favors to. Isn't this the kind of politics both candidates say they want to get rid of. You scratch my back i'll scratch yours.

He is free to back who he wants… and I think the head of the DoL in times of economic bliss is going to do good things for Obama.

Clinton is toast.

He has worked and known the Clintons for over 30 years, but would rather vote for someone else. Hillary supporters have known her for less but they will jump in front of a bullet for her…What does this tell you?

The respect and intelligence that Dr. Reich bring to the Obama camp is certainly a real blessing…Dr. Reich carries an insight and candor that crosses all parties and values….

you are quiet adept at tricking the public into reading what you want us to see and believe first on your ticker….on the home page you entitle the link as "obaba, 'recklessly dishonest'." Then when viewers click on the site, up pops a positive story on Obaba, the endorsement of Reich! A reader has to scroll down to get to the McCain story on "recklessly dishonest." This is an interesting way for CNN to continue its unbashedly, yet never admitted, commitment to Senator Obama. CNN has pursued this course of endorsement since even before the South Carolina campaign.

For decades I have enjoyed and trusted CNN. But your credibility has taken a nose dive in the past weeks. You say "keeping them honest." Someone(s) now, regrettably, need to keep you honest.

And, no, I am not a Senator Clinton supporter. I am a regisitered Republican since I first voted. But I have voted Democratic for the past 16 years for president.

Obama makes one comment about people being bitter–and some are, including me–and everyone starts screaming. Hillary LIES BLATANTLY and REPEATEDLY–and nobody's upset????? Does this make sense?

NO!

I would FAR rather have someone in the White House who doesn't LIE–I've had enough LIES from Bush to last me forever!!!

STRONGLY for OBAMA

I heard that Bill Clinton is thinking of endorsing Barack before Tuesday.

that doesnt support her is either a "traitor" or "doesnt matter"

please, this is someone who served in bills cabinet and knows the clintons for YEARS! yet he endorses obama….that means a lot, and he isnt the 1st HRC friend to support Obama

they know whats up

Now this speaks volumes when another former Clinton aid is backing Obama. There is a reason for this. Friendship has little to do with a person who believes somthing to be right. UNITE 2008

and obviously Robert has decided to follow the talk.

People wonder why the democrat party is spliting and destroying itself… it may because of the tremendous loyalty they have…. ha ha…

Looks like anyone with any sense is jumping the Clinton ship. Bet Carville is having a fit.

Translation:

"His policies are much more socialist and big government that my longtime friend, hilary clinton, therefore I endorse barack Obama, I have waited a long time for a liberal of this caliber to run, and I will grab a hold of this opportunity to create the nanny state"

Good for him–someone who actually voted on policy positions! The Clintons should realize that not everyone who worked for Bill in the White House owes something to her. Former Clinton employees are not slaves, indentured servants or property of the Clintons–they are free to do endorse a non-Clinton. As much as she tries to ride off his resume, Bill and Hillary are NOT the same person. Obviously Bill inspired Reich and Hillary does not. But then again, Bill was more positive and charismatic (when he campaigned back in 1992) and Hillary has run a mostly negative campaign.

SUPERDELEGATES…where is your backbone.
Do the right thing for the country …for all the newly registured voters, who will not go to polls for Hillary…for all the black voters who will not go out in Nov and vote…for all the Independents like me who donated to Obama's campaign and will again and again, but will not vote for Hillary because of CAFTA, Alibara, and the way she ran her campaign.
DO THE RIGHT THING. NOW. I do not have the power. YOU DO

Checkmate!

The Clintonistas here are obviously frustrated. None of them are making any sense. He gave both intellectual and heart felt reasoning.

oooops. the clinton minions are at it again! another judas they claim. this clearly has to sting as mr. reich is well known for his honesty.

welcome aboard mr. reich!

great-it's time to pull this thing together

Obama seems to have intelligence and reason on his side. Clinton seems to have loyalty on her side–well, maybe not so much from insiders, anyways. Regular voters who are "loyal" to Clinton are loyal to the dream of recreating a '90's economy that had nothing to do with Bill Clinton policy.

Endorsements never mean anything to Clinton and her supporters unless Senator Clinton is being endorsed. That's just another example of her double standards. If they don't matter why does she make sucha fuss over Philadelphia's Mayor and the Generals? Come on now! Her ship is sinking faster and faster. By Tuesday, it won't matter what happens in PA. Let's just hope she will keep her word and support Senator Obama.

Him being a critic of her bid to run for the white house why would this be a big surprise or even a concern to anyone..let him keep drinking the Kool Aid

Hillary 08

And so the hidden begin to come out………

We all know the superdelegates are in favor of Obama, they're just afraid of coming out and facing the Clinton machine. After Dean's remarks, Obama endorsements will continue to emerge. With Obama closer to the nomination, a new and powerful United States is the making. America, brace yourself!!

Obama 08!

I'm amazed at how hateful Clinton supporters are. I know this is a heated election, but can't someone like Mr. Reich who has experience with the Clinton's and who has studied both of their policies be allowed to endorse Sen. Obama without the brutal attacks? What is our party turning into? We're sounding like republicans.

I told you guys three more for the good guys…. "YES HE CAN"

Anyone know where James Carville is hiding?? Not to worry I'm sure that he will be making an appearance (together with Lou Dobbs) soon.

Congratulations to the good guys… you don't have to throw kitchen sinks Sen. Clinton is working for you

Why do clinton supporters think that being with Clinton administration make them slaves to clintons.

Hello this is USA, Not China

On the other hand Hillary says she did not agree with Bill while he signed NAFTA, Promoted CAFTA, signed CHINA as most favorite nation with out check on HR, Lobbying for dubai port deal.

How come that wife can discent but those who work for him should worship Bill.
May be Monica worshiped Bill so it didn't matter to Hillary…

Out of the darkness and into the light.
Welcome, Mr. Reich!

WOW, another ,and another, finally the profound message that Obama is trying to say which is "come together for the good of America" is catching on!!! CATCH THE WAVE!!!!! Obama 08

He'll regret it as will many others.

Why is he supporting the guy who 'talks the talk' and not the lady who 'walks the walk?'

***CLINTON SUPPORTERS***
It's okay to jump ship. I was for Hillary, but then I realized, I never really knew her to begin with. Understand, that you all can help Obama win the Presidency, he can't do it without you, seriously. Have grace in defeat, you can't even call it defeat, we all are on the same team when the General Election comes, so get it together.

Obama will never win the general election!

If Hillary had half the baggage that Obama has she would have been laughed out of the first debate!

I guess thie nation isn't ready for a woman president!

This democrat will stay home on election day before I vote for Obama!

GOD Help us!

This is absolute confirmation of the socialist leanings of the extreme left wing of the Democratic party.

Mr. Reich economic theories are lauded by the Democratic Socialist Party of America. Whose ideology comes predominately from Karl Marx.

Mike-Texas…have you been the libraryofcongress.com ? If you go to that one little site you can learn in detail what Senator Obama has done in his time as a US Senator…Then I'd like for you to compare that to what Hillary hasn't done while representing NY! It's a joke that she runs on so called experience…I guess things get a little lost when you're 60 years old, sniper fire flying over your head, back door trade deals and all…but I digress…CNN please can I get one blog posted?!!!

Next Tuesday, Obama and his team will be huddling with the Left Liberal side of the DEM party crying their heart out. Reich will be among them.

Wow, Clinton supporters, why is everyone who supports Obama irrelevant or a traitor? Sour grapes maybe? You know, I've seen this alot, Hillary supporters are every bit as miserable as she is. I've seen some that are not but for the most part they are.

YES WE CAN!!!!!

Obama '08!

God forbid a person put the well being of this nation before friendship huh Karen?

The remedial hillary supporters need to give up now. She's lost.

I agree with: voters would have a choice "between someone who talks the talk, and somebody who's walked the walk." There's no question Osama can "talk the talk", but that's as far as it goes. I'm afraid that's all you're going to get…just talk. The first real questions were asked of Obama by Charlie during the latest debate, and Barack came unglued. This man will not make a good president, and this country is in no shape to give him a full term of on the job training.

To those that rush to say : this does not matter – Yes it does.

He says he decided to do this based on Obama's honesty, better planned direction for the country, and his ability to bring left and right together. What about that makes him a lesser cannidate? Look past your personal bias and just admit to the fact that even though he is new to the scene – Obama is still the stronger force for the job he is about to undertake.

We are about to enter a new great era for America, and Robert Reich can see the writing on the wall. It's about time.

Thank you for joining the wining team…

Obama'08

While a few insane clintomaniacs are surely welcome to "start their own party", I am positive that all the true Democracts, who don't wont another 4 years of McSame, will support the democratic nominee – Barack Obama. We will win in November!

He may not be a Super D, but OUCH…That's gotta hurt!!!!

OBAMA 2008!!!!!!

his health care will be "successful" because he's NOT going to cover everyone

OBAMA LIES—

OBAMA LIED AND MADE UP A STORY ABOUT BEING RACIALLY AMBUSH WHEN SEEING A LIFE MAGAZINE ARTICLE– IN HIS BOOK "DREAMS FROM MY FATHER"-.

IN THE 33 PARAGRAPH http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/politics/chi-070325obama-youth-story,1,7937142,full.story

THE MEDIA NEVER COVER THIS- ALTHOUGH, THEY COVERED HILLARY BOSNIA STORY

OBAMA LIED ABOUT HANDGUN QUESTIONAIRE- HE PESONALLY WROTE THE ANSWER

Susan MO April 18th, 2008 2:49 pm ET

Obama has already hurt himself with his critical remarks to the people of Pennsylvania.

Susan…sadly…this comment from you is HIGHLY misinformed and incorrect…..as a matter of fact…it sounds extremely BITTER…..

Please don't support another Bush term……please support Barack Obama.

More power to the Obama campaign, lets keep the endorsements coming, we must work hard to get Barack elected

you obama supporters are so funny: you spew some of the worst hatred I've ever seen to Hillary and her circle but rejoice when someone leave her circle and switches to obama…also, have you ever considered they might just be opportunists who woul jump from obama's ship as soon as things get a little hairy?…is this really something to be happy about? where is the Change?

People like you should never have friends. You do not know how to be loyal but I suppose you don't know any better. I hope when Hillary wins you don't try to congratulate her because if I was her I would spit in your face. That's all people like you deserve to get. I would imagine you would do the same thing to your mother. Backstabber!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hillary, you do not need people like him or Richardson because you are going to win anyway.

NO MAN IN WASHINGTON WILL ALOW A WOMAN TO BE PRESIDENT. THEY ARE ALL STONEWALLING CLINTON. SO CALLED FRIENDS.

Kind of amazing to see this when you read how he's slammed Hillary in his blog.

I've said it from the beginning, nationalized health care is the best for our country but it's not possible, not in one step. You want to go from completely privatized coverage to completely nationalized coverage, you're either lying or you're stupid. You do it in phases or steps and progress towards it, ween out of privatized coverage. It's just as stupid as thinking we can cut our military out of Iraq immediately, you just can't do it. I'm glad someone like Reich has come out and said it.

Reading Hillary's spokesperson(s) responses to each new SD defection has become the highlights of my days. "Didn't he endorse him last year"?..Is that the best response they could come up with? If anything, that response shows the non-informed, willy-nilly nature of HRC's campaign..and potential future administration. The "close race" claim has pretty much become a way to soften the repeated blows to HRC's campaign. Any seasoned boxer would have long since stayed on the canvas…The Super's are now making their choice clear, OBAMA 2008!

Way to go obama!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thank you for comparing the two and making a decision based on the real issues!!!!!!

Not a superdelegate. Who cares?

Remember these people have been around the Clintons for a LONG TIME. They know how they work and what they are
made of. I appreciate his honesty.

Reich is a known Extreme Left Liberal. His endorsement is meaningless, and he has no impact. Go Pennsylvania and give iIllary the BIG-MO to bring back this country into PROSPERITY.

Susan, MO

Please don't speak for us. We are not hurt by Obama's words. He actually told the truth. We are bitter and we will be bitter if your candidate steal the nomination.

A middle age woman from Pennsylvania

Old news, why the re-hash? God, I hope we don't have to listen to all of Obama supporters over and over. But, then again, isn't his whole campaign just one repeat after another? Like, yes we can over and over. I'd kind of like to hear, yes we can, what? This guy wants his 15 mins. over again.

Susan MO – who cares who you are for. Thank god there are less and less number of people like you by the day. Every one knows how "truthful" and "trustworthy" Hillary is. There are so many skeletons in her and Bill's closet, we dont even need GOP to defeat them.

Thank you Mr. Reich.

The right thing to do.

OBAMA '08 & '12

If this is not yet another loud and decicive scream at Hillary to quit and go home, I don't know what it will take.

People that have supported BILL in the past are now supporting Obama because they know that Hillary IS NO BILL CLINTON. And Obama is more like Bill only without the slime and Monica thing….

When the people that KNOW YOU BEST (40 years) wont vote for you, why should I….

AL GORE was VP to her Husband and even HE hasnt endoresed her. Is he not endorsing Obama out of respect too?

Hmmm. Another liberal professor endorses Obama. That ought to help him with regular working folks.

Go Hillary! Don't worry about the turncoats.

I hope the voters notice…PEOPLE WHO KNOW HILLARY, PEOPLE WHO WORKED WITH THE CLINTONS, RUN FROM THEM, BACK OBAMA. The so called NOT VETTED! NOT KNOWN! THE CANDIDATE WITH UNANSWERED QUESTIONS!

Voters of Pennsylvania….Look at what people who know them are doing…even with all the pressure the Clintons put on them to keep silent! Then can not… They ENDORSE OBAMA… for AMERICA's SAKE.

Pennsylvanian undecided voters… do the right thing.
SAVE OUR GREAT COUNTRY

It's obvious, he has been offered a job in Obama's cabinet, and Hillary has not offered him a job.

HERE IT GOES ANOTHER VERY INTELLIGENT MAN,WITHGREAT DEAL OF BRAIN HAS ENDORSED OBAMA,MR.REISH IS A SCHOLAR.
THANKS
GO OBAMA 2008
FAY FROM VA

I read he endorsed him a few months ago this isn't anything new. I can't believe Obama giving Sen. Clinton the finger at a NC rally. I hope this isn't true.

All of Obama's promises have a better chance of succeeding. If his campaign management skills are any indication, his administration will produce unprecedented results. Further, he unlike his opponents, is funded by the people as apposed to the corporations. His opponents can't afford to do anything to hurt big business. His opponents therefore can't help you with clean air, oil prices, trustworthy food, keeping jobs in the USA etc.
What choice do you have? Go Obama 08!

Setting the record straight: Many of Obama's plans have replica information from Sen. Clinton's. She was the first candidate and is still the only candidate to establish clear, comprehensive action plans for energy initiatives, job creation, affordable higher education, universal health care, solutions to end poverty, and solutions for the mortgage crisis. Senator Clinton also offers thorough plans for her first 100 days in the White House including port/infrastructure security, ending the war, and foreign policy related to Afghanistan, Pakistan, Cuba, Iran, Iraq, and Israel. Trust me: Take the time to visit the sites of the candidates and actually read (a lofty idea) their convictions and their documentation of the facts. The choice is clear: GO HILLARY!

WOW! Now this is an endorsement! Thank you Mr. Reich for such an eloquent endorsement.

This is exactly what we needed, someone who could comprehensively break down why Obama should be our nominee.

Yes We Can
Obama '08

Right. keep on talking. Enough of Hillary! Obama is the future.

Waiting for James Carville to chime in.

What say you Mr. Carville? What other names do you have in your knap sack? Dying to hear from you.

So, will carver call out Reich as Judas too? Or will he actually get the picture that intelligent people can think for themselves, and know when a good thing comes along. Reich for that, has know the Clintons for a looooooooooong time. This is a BIG punch in the gut to Hillary. I love it!

ANOTHER CLOWN JOIN THE CIRCUS

Endorsement mean nothing unless they endorse Hillary.

Thats the only way we look at things.

Hillary supporter

I do agree with Robert Reich's comment that the voters will have a choice between someone who talks the talk (Obama) and someone who has walked the walk (McCain). The choice has never been so clear.

Americans for McCain '08

I am so glad that former Clinton cabinet members are supporting Senator Obama which says a lot about Senator Clinton and her politics.

Has anyone raised the possibility that the reason former President Clinton keeps putting his feet in his mouth while campaigning for his wife is that he secretly does not want her to become President?

All of his collegeaues and friends says that he is a master politician and tactian and yet noone can explain why he is off his game.

You heard it here first: former President Clinton is sabotaging his wife's campaign because he truly does not want her to become President. What else can it be??

Next in line to jump ship are Bill and Chelsea.She does'nt have too many friends left.

The breadth of the people endorsing Barack Obama is amazing!!!

It is about time more of the party start leaning away from Clinton's poison and toward hope with Obama… I especially love how they chirp over the debate which was COMPLETELY biased.

It was indeed slanted and at least Obama continued to recognize what was politics and what was not. He is genuine and a real person who does not take advantage of the crap that politics gives us. He was complaining about the fact it took almost an hour to talk about the issues… Clinton and the ABC team took every measure to distract and manipulate the situation when Obama wanted to talk about the real reason he is running for president, the problems facing America. Hillary was in true form using every tactic to distract from issues seeing as people see Obama having a more realistic viewpoint and genuine care for America.

Clinton was in her element as a negative and decisively manipulative individual who will do ANYTHING to get elected. She spreads her poison around and tries to infect all who she comes across. She lies at every corner and is in no way fit to be a leader of the US. You call Obama elitist, but the Clinton dynasty are the definition of the word. I am sickened by the fact there are still supporters in her campaign. It makes me truly sad to be an American when an individual like this is touted as a solution for our problems. Wake up America… don't let the negative poison of deceit and manipulation steal your god given right to a better life.

Anyone with any brain can see the debate was lopsided… not only that, Obama is taking on two people with Clinton being even more negative than McCain… She IS destroying the party which just shows how much her venom is corrupting the party. She will do ANYTHING… ANYTHING people.. she aligns herself with lobbyists… even those who are for those things she is against!!! You don't think they have a say in what she does??? Please… take off your blinders and see. How many times has she lied… or should I say "misspoke" about situations, and now she evens says she was just inaccurate with Bosnia. You want someone who served on the board of Wal-Mart and who fought AGAINST unions in the white house. How about someone who fought with her husband for NAFTA just to turn around and lie about it even though there is video proof she pushed it.

How can you, knowing all of this, still support her. I am scared of her more than I am of bush. Bush is a complete idiot, but at least we know what we have… a child for president. With Hillary, you have no idea what she is capable of. You have no idea what she really means. If Barack Obama was truly off for saying the people are bitter, he just simply chose the wrong words, but imagine the impact if Hillary is plain inaccurate as president. Who knows where our country will be when she is through. Please, for the love of God and country…. come to your senses and finish her off in PA. It is my sincere wish that the country not be destroyed buy a negative, deceitful, and manipulative individual like Clinton….

And truth be told, I would vote for McCain if Clinton is president. Yes, I differ on issues with McCain, but I am too frightened at what we will get with a Hillary Clinton presidency… I mean truly scared… It will either be Obama as the nominee or I will vote McCain in Nov.

Since Reich is a devout socialist, that must mean that Obama then is more of a socialist than Hil-liar-y. Is that truly possible?

HA HA HA….I just love it. I would love to see Bill's face right about now!

Fyi: He teaches at UC Berkeley.

Reich is an honorable man, who is placing loyalty to country above loyalty to the past.

We welcome Clinton supporters….
It is enevitable…
let us unite and put 8 long years of pain behind us.
Obama welcomes you and so does his supporters
It won't be easy, but will be worth it
We are all Americans, and in God We Trust

Come on people. When you see long time friends of the Clintons leaving them in the dirt, it should tell you something about the Clintons. I just hope Chelsea does not pick up the baton in a few years. I have had enough of the Clintons.

It's really bad when people have to be worried about announcing who they are supporting. Everyone is free to support the candidate of their choice. Remember when people tried to make us feel "unpatriotic" when we opposed the war in Iraq? I sure do.

Smart man. Listen their has to something when President Bill Clinton former staff members are endorsing Obama.

JUDASES ARE JUST KEEP COMING

Please don't start with the traitor/dilsloyalty comments…lets's have a real discussion on why he is supporting Obama. Friendship doesn't equate favortism.

I wonder what kind of flack Mr Reich is going to get from the Clinton camp on his endorsement of Obama. Will it be Judas, Traitor or will he be shrugged of as being insignificant? Either way this is another clear example of what past Clinton supporters think of the Clinton camp today.

Susan, You all need to get it through your heads. Clinton can not and will not win. Start supporting a winner.

There we go again! Another Clinton Ex-administration personnel endorsing Obama! The writing is on the wall and we don't need the POPE to read it. It says "Billary, shut up and quit already"!

Thank you Reich.

You did a good thing for America today.

Hillary… How long are you willing to attack your party's nominee? Are you a Democrat? Will you support the Democratic nominee? Or will you do the bidding of a vast, right-wing conspiracy???

Amen!!!

OBAMA FOR PRESIDENT!

Is this an endorsement?

They all have to be hypnotized. I just can't believe everyone is jumping on the cocky, arrogant bandwagon.

Good for you Rob, It seem every week another delegate is moving in the right direction. To the Clinton supporters, how is it that Hillary is the best candidate, when all of her buddies are voting for Barack?
.

Good move.

Another Judas!!

(It should be noted that "Judas" these days, applies to anyone with brain enough not to fall for Clint-Rovian smear tactics, a love of the country that extends beyond petty political loyalties, and a healthy dose of common sense.)

Obama '08

Oh my!! Not another Clinton long time friend. Will he be called Judas too?!

I think we're going to need more cars added to the Obama train, we're running out of room!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Bravo, Dr. Reich. Thank you for being a leader.

I LOVE IT! I LOVE IT!! I LOVE IT!!!

Wow! Is this a slap in Hillary's face or what!

Her own people don't even trust her! DO NOT PICK THIS LADY FOR YOUR VP OBAMA!

Hillary , this is what you get for your negative tricks… Watch up… You might stay ALONE… I was with you… but not anymore..

Wise man………

Can't the Clinton campaign simply say "congratulations to Senator Obama?"

Ditto with all the other numerous other members of Bill Clinton's administration who have endorsed Obama…

Ditto with Obama's 100 plus daily newspaper endorsements (including every major paper in Pennsylvania)…

Ditto with his convincing primary wictories in crucial swing states like Wisconsin, Missouri, Minnesota among many others…

Ditto with the fact that over 1 million Americans have donated money to the Obama campaign, with the average amount being less than $100…

Many former Clinton staffers are backing Obama. Is this betreyal? absolutely not. It's judgement as to who would be the best president, especially after working with the Clintons. Let's see if he gets called a "Judas" as well.

YES!!!! They just keep on coming over. I can't wait till this is over so Obama can put his full attention to winning in November. America we need to change and Obama is the answer.

Obama 08

Delighted! One of the reasons I was a firm Clinton supporter "in the old days" was because of this gentleman's intellectual prowess, vaste range of knowledge about world wide macro-economics and deep humanitarian interests. I am delighted, but not really surprised that he would back Obama now.

at least he is doing what his conscience tells him is right,and not being swayed by others opinions.Obama '08

Is there something to all of these former Clinton cabinet officials supporting Obama? Maybe they know something we don't know!

Eventually, Gore will stab the fatal wound–a "et tu, Brute" moment that may finally end this prolonged exercise in ego by Sen. Clinton.

keep you eyes on a price.

HILLARY ALL THE WAY FOR PRESIDENT

YEAY!

Now this is a man with common sense and vision. Since he is familiar with the Clintons he is well aware of their dirty tricks and what lias they are. THANK YOU THANK YOU

OBAMA '08′

Mr. Reich- Your endorsment means nothing. Its time to dump Howard Dean DNC. We need a new party

I am glad that you feel comfortable. Let's hope that the rest of the backers look past the clinton "die-nasty" and continue to tell the truth about OLD politics.

Oh wow! I hope he will serve in Obama's cabinet.

Clinton supporter and James Carville later called that as an "act of betrayal." Carville is a CNN political analyst.

typo^ (fix it then delete the comment?)

How dare he vote his conscience?!!! j/k

Obama 08

Another person wanting a cabinet position IF Obama were somehow able to defeat McCain in the general election. But, that is not going to happen. McCain wil be the next president if Obama is appointed to the nomination. Hopefully the super-delegates will fulfill there duty to ALL the Democratic voters and appoint Hillary. It is afterall up to the super-delegates now; neither Obama or Hillary will get the necessary pledged delegates.

Any chance we can get Al Gore to step in?????

double woot

I just wrote the following response on Robert Reich's blog:

Robert,

Thank you for blessing us with your endorsement of "hope over cynicism and fear." I look forward to casting my vote with you on Tuesday, November 4, 2008 to make Obama the 44th President of the
United States.

God Bless,

Tyrone Brown
Obamacrat
Seattle, WA

Reich is a smart guy. Noobody's endorsement is going to change my vote one way or the other, but his means about as much as anybody's for me.

This guy is wrong about all his observations and just because he no longer likes the Clintons why should anyone take this idiots side. But yet it's news.

" Reich, whose relationship with the Clintons dates back to their law school days at Yale, has long been a critic of the New York senator's White House bid. Shortly before the Iowa caucuses in January, he wrote that voters would have a choice "between someone who talks the talk, and somebody who's walked the walk." "

What has Obama done to qualify that he has walked the walk???

All hed does is talk, talk, talk,

Good Rob,

Alright! One more on the Obama Express!

Well, another great support for Senator Obama — I guess. In any event, he didn't go to Hillary, so congratulations Obama and thank you Robert Reich!

Whew hew!!!! Another endorsement!! Way to go Obama!!! Apparently, he doing something right!!!!

Obama 08!!!! Change we can believe in!!!!

Coming from Someone who 'KNOW" them.
CLINTON your are done

OBAMA 08

Political Judas!

This weighs on the hearts of many prominent dems; Like Al Gore… his policies and plans are much more in line with Obama's than Clintons. That being said, more and more will follow as time goes on. Hillary has condemned herself by her behavior and by her lies!

Wow. Not a big Reich fan, but he's making an endorsement based on . . . actual policy positions?? What a novel idea? To those democrats thinking of voting for McCain if his or her candidate loses, you might try adopting the same idea.

Doesn't it say something that so many of Clintons old friends, acquaintances and colleagues–the people who know the Clintons best–are endorsing Obama?

The democrats are making a huge mistake and they will be sorry in November. How sad

Huge endorsement. One of the biggest yet.

Yet another defector from the Clintons. Hillary supporters: does this tell you anything???

Welcome aboard !!! Unlike other campaigns this one welcomes all! Clinton supporters surrogates republicans women and anyone else that is ready to take back this government for the people and get rid of the lies and scare tactics!

Go Obama 08 Yes We Can

Coming from Someone you 'KNOW" them.
CLINTON your are done

OBAMA 08

People get ready, there's a train a comin'! All aboard the Obama Express!!!

Go Obama. We love you. God will not let you lose.

Looks like everyone is rushing to ge ton that Obama train to Pennsylvania Avenue.

All aboard.

America is seeing that Obama for President is the only WISE choice.

Obama for President

Yes We Can!!!

Wow… It really is starting to seem like some poked a butter-knife into the brand new bottle of ketchup. They're coming gushing out all of the sudden…

Obama Welcomes all the superdelegates.

And the American people thank you…

Reich is a traitor like Richardson… people like Reich and Richardson should leave the democrate party….

I am sorry. I just see the Democratic Party going down in flames each time Hillary is stabbed in the back. Did any of these men ever get over the 4 year old mentality of going for the shiny new toy? I don't see myself voting Democratic anymore if Hillary doesn't get the nomination and isn't included as VP. It is really sad when you think about it.

This is not a new story. He endorsed a long time ago. What is with CNN. Wake up voters!!! WAKE UP!!!!!

One more for the train. Catch a clue!

Hillary should start a third party. The other two is bought,and paid for.

Onather loser that want to be in the news. It is beginning like the Paris Hilton, the more losers on his side the more media attention he got.

Hillary 08!!!

Get ready for 'Hawk' Carvilles claws. Couldn't have come at a better time and great to finally see what we saw way back.

IS James Carville going to call him a traitor as well?!?!

because everyone in the world must support clinton?!?! whatever!!

OBAMA 08 AND 12!!!!!!!!!!!!

OF COURSE! He's an intelligent person!
