If you want more of the same, vote for McCain. If you would like to get out of Iraq, Vote for Hillary or Barrack.

But, people, don’t forget you elected Bush as president. Did you say that you made same mistake twice in a row? If so, don’t make the same mistake three times in a row. Get someone with low risk.

Bayou Joe.......... and whats the other percentage if 95% black and is there a problem with that ...... you are just running scared>>>>> thats what Clinton and the govt and McCain does use scare tactics to pull you in please think outside the box for once...... there is nothing to fear but fear itself....................... Its time for the new generation i"m 60 and want to see the young people lead this country we have educated them we need to leave something for them after 200 years look what a mess we are in ...Our dollar has no value what!!!!! want to see and welcome any change Clinton and McCain is too old they cannot relat to the young community........ I rather someone young mking decisions about my future not someone that has sat in the same positions for 20 yrs+ you think they really care they just want the power they have taken all they can take from us...they are rich.....honey do you really think they care??????? the saying goes the most dangerous man is a man that has nothing to loose and thats Clinton and McCain....change your mindset and you change the world

It's amazing to me that Obama generates all this controversy simply for being honest. Apparently we expect a lot less of our politicians.

A 5th grader would be better than Dubya as President. Whinning Hillary supporters! Obama said Dems first then McCain. Your candidate Hillary said McCain would be a better Commander in Chief (ie President) than Obama. Where the hell is her loyalties. It sure isn't with the Democrats.

His comment shows that the Dems are trying to throw the election,
and cause the Republicans to win the White House in November.

None of the Candidates in either party would be a better president.
They're all the same and are bought and paid for by the corporations.
Why would should we waste our vote on these crooks, when we need
some honesty and Integrity in the White House.

Yes, OBamma offers change.

But change to WHAT????

All that he ever offers is an empty promise of hope and change.

But until I know what he wants to change, he will not get my vote because it may affect me negatively..

Change for changes sake is NEVER good.

Wow, now I see why so many people think this guy would be a great President! He's supersmart!

Ohhhhh....!! This is the mindlessly esponge hate section for liberals. For some insane reason I was trying to post logical thought here earlier. My missing posts makes sense now...

My barber would be better than Bush. Can't we all just say DUH!

Goodness people, he is just stating that fact that Bush was a diaster and it hopefully couldn't get any worse....Lay off the man!

How many times has HIllary said McCain would be better than Obama??? Many–so what is the big deal???

look up LARRY SINCLAIR, OBAMA DAYS ARE NUMBERED PLUS HE SUX

Yes, Mr Obama, but you forgot to mention that McCain will be a better president than you. He has experience , which you lack.

Hillary-08
President of The United States of America

What is that crap... if not Hillary, then McCain:)!!! What's the matter with you dummies!

Hillary is my Senator....I voted for her twice, but right now I think she's the biggest problem the Democrats have!!! EGO, AMBITION, A DANGEROUS SENSE OF ENTITLEMENT=a ruined Democratic Party and a GOP lock on the White House for as far as the eye can see.

McCain = Angry Scary Trigger Happy!

I don't really see why this is news. Obama is just stating the truth, that any of the three presidential candidates currently running would be a step forward. It just depends on how big of a step forward we want to take.

Obama is something the world have lived for decades except here in America. That's why most of you are afraid of him and clueless about the guy. Obama offers something new to you guys. You are afraid of change. You are afraid of new things. I am proud of this man. HEAL THE WORLD Mr. President; it is agonizing. PLEASE BRING PEACE TO THE WARCOHOLICS. BRING LIGHT TO IGNORANTS. THEY DO NEED IT, Mr. PRESIDENT.

mccain would also be a better president than obama!

Hillary said McCain would be better than Obama. Are you serious that Obama's words are a slap to the Democratic party??? Hers are WAY worse. Stop spinning this man's obvious attempt to remain a gentleman and get to the issues!!!

ANYONE will be better than Bush.

Barak is not Presidential material. The only reason he is still in the race is because he gets 95% of the African-American vote in the Democratic party.

He will become another Al gore or Dukakis in the General election.

Yes, McCain is better than Bush, Barak, and Hillary.

McCain has the experience abiliity and integrity to be President.

You gotta give it to the guy...he is honest.

My cat would be better than Bush.

My cat runs face-first into walls.

Obama = best
Hillary = good
Mccain = bad
Bush = worst

What exactly kind of CHANGE Sen. Obama want? I work at a Community Health Center and the government (state and federal level) already offers different kinds of health insurance for children.

One of the problem also is that some people choose to keep money instead of buying their families medical insurance. I know a lot of people like that. They don't know their priorities. People will survive without expensive material things but that's their prerogative.

Frankly, I'm sick and tired of hearing all this stupid things going on. Medicare is planning on cutting reimbursement again! A lot of doctors now are not accepting new patients on Medicare and Medicaid. People don't understand their medical benefits. Sen. Obama's health care program is DUMP AND STUPID. People you need to do your research!

CNN HOPE YOU POST THIS COMMENT!

A mentally deranged person would be a bettwe president than Bush.

To you people screaming that Obama is worse than bush or McCain and that Hilary is better: You do realize that Hilary has stated she believes Obama to be better than McCain right?

And this is the reason the Democrat party will shoot itself in the foot and why McCain is almost certain to win.

poor Obama. No one every understands what he is talking about.

cry baby cry bay..GROW UP!

At least Obama has an open mind to admit McCain is better not equal to Bush.

Yawn.

I donate $$ to Obama to match every stupid thing Hillary does. I'm becoming flat out broke.

"AND – if Danika Patrick can win her car race by 6 SECONDS – and a broader margin makes no difference, —- then Hillary can win the election in PA by just ONE vote.

A win is a WIN."

Yes, because winning a car race and running for president are almost completely synonymous with one another.

I really love ready all of t hese comments. It really is good to start the morning with a good laugh. Keep up the good work people as a good sense of humor is very rare these days.

It's easy to throw stones with no experience. I would love to vote Democratic in the upcoming election, but the way these two have acted tells me that these two junior senators stand for nothing!! Go back to 9/11 and tell me that these two would have acted any better than GWB. Someone else above mentioned the economy. We all should brace for a lot less net pay in our paycheck if the Dem's get in. Hang on to your wallet!!! Go McCain!!

Yes, Obama is probably right. McCain is an improvement in some ways over Bush. He recognizes the problems with global warming, does not support torture, and would support some forms of campaign finance reform.

But McCain is far from being good enough. He is a superhawk on Iraq, totally ignorant on economic matters, and on most social issues in thrall to the fundamentalist moral majority. To say he is better than Bush is like saying that a term paper that receives a grade of 30% is better than one that receives a grade of 20%. The former is better than the latter, but neither is close to being good enough.

Jon P.

The only kind of changes Obama will make is for the WORST!!

GO HILLARY!!

I'm surprised at how big of a deal everyone is making out of this. McCain might be a better president than bush by a narrow margin (agreeing with the fact that a monkey would be better than Bush), but do we really need any more years of Republican dictatorship? Just because Obama admitted that McCain would be better than Bush (which was meant as a joke), doesn’t automatically qualify McCain as the best choice.

Wake up and vote for Obama in 2008!

This part of a what MR. OBAMA called the silly season.

Did we need any one to tell us that even a dog will be better than BUSH?

Anyone but Bush would do. Another Clinton, maybe. New leadership for the next generation, definitly.

I am an Obama fan and defend Obama to the max, I cant defend the Mccain is better then Bush sound bite tho. We would be worse with any Repulican in office at this stage in america today. Holla if ya hear me!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm an independent. Go Obama! If not McCain's got my vote. Hillary will carry all of this caddiness and pettiness right into the white house.
I'm sick of this drama in the campaign, I don't want more in the white house. There's a reason why the delegates and superdelegates are
changing their support to Obama. THis thing goes way beyond the primaries. THey know they'll have to deal with this in the white house.
And McCain will tare her apart. These are the delegates and endorsers that have left her.
Tom Daschle , a former Democratic leader in the SenateObama: Greg Craig, who served as special counsel to Mr. Clinton
Anthony Lake , a former national security adviser;
Mr. Reich,former Clinton White house aid
Cameron Kerry, the younger brother of Senator John Kerry
Mrs. Larson, activist
former Labor Secretary Robert Reich,
and there are more,

Anyone would make a better President than Bush!
Obama would, for sure.
But Hillary would make a better President than Obama.
McCain – who knows?

Obama is always the person with more decency, I guess he learned better manners, good for him, some politicians will do anything to win including trying to call a black man unpartriotic or throwing the kitchen sink at him, if he was white they would have never tried to say he was unpatriotic.

Obama is an idiot. I guess there were no tele prompters for him to read from. He just blew away every democrats argument about Mcsame. This is a pattern with Obama, a few months ago he praised Reagan over president Clinton, well mabe that was just a cruel way to diminish the Clinton years. Please PA get rid of this guy once and for all.Hillary-Angelou-08!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm from NY. Hillary has been a do nothing Senator what makes you think she'll be any better as a President? Obama holds the future of this country, ITS' HOPES, DREAMS, VALUES.. Most importantly..he tells the................TRUTH!

I thought Obama said that electing McCain would be a third-term for George Bush. Now he is saying he would be better than Bush. Well here is my voting priority order:
1) Hillary
2) McCain
3) Nader

I will never vote for Obama, so do a lot of latinos!!!!

McCain is gonna die pretty soon, cmon, he can't be PRESIDENT.

'Cogressmen who willfully take actions during wartime that damage morale, and undermine the military are saboteurs and should be arrested, exiled or hanged.'
~ President Abraham Lincoln

Obama is correct in acknowledging that McCain is an honorable man and definitely better than "W". Senator Obama should not have to remind us that "W" Bush has messed up everything so badly that any of the candidates could do a better job. Obama's bottom line is that both democrat nominees are up to the task of beating McCain and are the better choice for president. Leave it to the Clinton spin doctors to make a mountain out of a mole hill; they are truly professionals at that. Arise Pennsylvanians and unite for Senator Obama as president! Hillary said it and we already knew it! Yes, Yes, Yes he can win! OBAMA “08”

the world stands united for Obama

A trained monkey would be better than Bush. Obama tells it like it is and the desperate Hillary Clinton (campain life now stands at one day) tries to spin it as Obama endorsing McCain. Pathetic. But then her entie candidacy has been pathetic.

A trained monkey would be better than Bush. That doesn't say much for John McCain who keeps slamming Obama and siding with Hillary.

Reason being is he knows he has a much, much, better chance in November against Billary and will get crushed by Obama.

PA. Tomorrow is your chance to make History and put an end to the un-Trustworthy Clinton out of gas machine.

Or would you rather go hunting with Annie Oakley? Don't turn your back!

well then I guess its McCain or Hillary ,but no Obama.

McCain is better than Obama!
HILLARY is the BEST of all 3!

HILLARY FOREVER!

You Obamabots are fools. You congratulate Obama on being honest for saying this yet had Hillary said it, you'd be calling her a traitor and saying she is Bush light and everything else you can think of. You are just like your leader....D-U-M-B!

any one is better than Obama

OBAMA!! That is an understatement. Anybody would be better than Bush.

umm ya – exactly

Hmmm....When the other Clinton was in office, the economy was in great shape, gas prices were down, the world was a better place.

Nobama 08 No We Won't

"MISTAKE .

MISTAKE

MISTAKE

Obama himself says Mc Cain is an improvement on Bush

DUMMY DUMMY DUMMY"

============

It's called telling the truth even if it's hurtful for your campaign.

What is the big news? ANYBODY including Mickey Mouse would be better that Bush. George Bush has been the worst President in history and has destroyed this country and turned it upside down. My 12yr old could have run this country better than "Jr. Shrub". I have switched from Clinton, she is too negative and it is sad because I have always admired the Clintons and have defended them through the years. She has revealed her true self which is a liar , deceiver, cold & calculating and will DO & SAY anything to get elected. We don't need anymore of this foolishness in our leadership. I vote for a fresh start and clean slate and will go with OBAMA for a real change of direction in this nation.

His wording sounds awfully egotistical there. He does have a point though; with HILLARY coming in at the top of the list.

AND – if Danika Patrick can win her car race by 6 SECONDS – and a broader margin makes no difference, -- then Hillary can win the election in PA by just ONE vote.

A win is a WIN.

One person says Obama needs presidential experience in order to get his vote for president...i don't know how one gains presidential expereince without being president, nor can one be president without being elected...another says Obama is a "hipocrit"...another ingenious remark from our capable citizens...And every woman in America thinks Hillary is the best but has no idea why other than the fact that she is a woman. You wanna fight for equal employment, military participation, and non-discrimination, yet want to use her husband's 8 years as president as her experience. This is unfair, as it only lets her ride Bill's coat-tails forever. I don't know how she became Senator here, i've never met a supporter. Politics is all a matter of personal opinion, and it would be great to have a female president, but not Hillary Clinton, you must find a capable woman, not just the first one with enough money to run.

Obama is right. Without question, Bush is the worst President ever. If he was not a BUSH, he would have NEVER been in politics. SAM CHENEY's comments are outrageous. Take a good look at what's going on with the economy sir.

Obama is right. A wet mop could have done a better job than GWB.

It's time for a change.

Obama '08

Once again out of context. Shame on you CNN. These writers only read headlines! They are lazy and anxious to jump on every little reason to support their choice . He was making a remark about how bad Bush is not how good McCain is. Cracking wise as it were.
Which brings me to my next rant:
Any attempt to keep things civil falls on deaf ears.
Keep this in mind people. The new voters who are really taking an interest in an election for the first time in years are mainly young people.
It is their turn. The simple truth is these new voters who are for Obama mostly will simply give up and not show on election day if their candidate is robbed of the nomination by ancient political predjudices. All of us true Democrats understand their importance in this election.
Obama speaks to and for them. Turn your back on them and you will continue to be ruled by the GOP. The young people are the ones who will die on the battlefields.

Better than GWB? April 20th, 2008 4:28 pm ET

My current voting priority order:
1. Hillary
2. McCain
3. Obama

Until Obama served a couple terms as president it would be hard to say if he would be better or worse than George W Bush. Do we really want to find out as a result of the November, 2008 election?

------------------------------

I'm glad to hear that you've found a time machine/alternate universe transporter to go into some alternate futures where Hillary and McCain have both been president before to find out how well they did.

As distracting as this ticker is about talking about Obama's comment. What is more important is the financial picture of the campaigns. Obama began April with $42 million in cash and with less than $1 million in debt. Hillary began April with $8 million in cash and $10 million in debt.

This makes me want to go give Obama another $50. Come on Americans it is time to start rallying around Obama.

Ummmmm – just how dim are the bulbs in this country?
I caught the remarks live, and they were part of a closing statement where Obama merely said that all three of the candidates were of sufficient quality to be running on Tues.
There was NO value judgement of support of anyone, but simply "Vote on Tues., all of us are competent enough to be on the ballot, I would like you to vote for me."
Completely normal, polite political campaign closing – now why have over 400 people used this comment to spin their own webs of fantasy and worse?????

And just how is this earth shattering news???
My three-legged blind dog would be better than ANY of them!

Nobama......EVER.

Mickey Mouse, the 3 Stooges, and Bugs Bunny would all make for a better president than the current joke sitting in the office.

Moroever, when i listen to this statement, I see the reason some voters are offended but I also see a reasoning to this statement. He said "so it’s not surprising then that they get bitter, they cling to guns or religion or antipathy to people who aren’t like them or anti-immigrant sentiment or anti-trade sentiment as a way to explain their frustrations". This is just an example of how the media (FOX NEWS & others) exactly makes a caricature of his words. This was cut out of context, they repeatedly display a part of his statement without allowing voters to get a full understanding of his words and character. As a 12th grade student that I am (held back one year now), and hope to someday enter this political world, I hope this political game does not remain like this, filled with all this sorts of dirty games.

Its not suprising for me to see that Sen. Hillary Clinton has focused on Sen. Obama statement and that she has tried to make it a major controversial issue for voters. I personally think its just her other way of continuing her negative campaign against her fellow democrat, who at the end of this election, she is going to refer as an awesome politician (probabily suggest that he's a very good friend & that she wished they were on the same ticket for the run for the white house). I think she just keeps showing her desperation to run the country for another 8 yrs, and is hoping that if she cant make it to this national election, she wants to win it the next time and Sen. McCain is likely to only run for only a first-term which would be in her best bet.

Obama is an IDIOT!

Even my man, President Robert Mugabe of Zimbabwe is a better President than that Moron called George W. Bush. Baby Bush hands down, got to be the worst president ever, No joke intended!

Our President Obama 08' & 12'

CNN, could you report real news please...this crap here is not news. Nor did anyone care to listen to Obama's speech.

Obama is the only one with no experience. I think he is trying to say if he wins the primary and can't win the general election that McCain will be better than Bush anyway so you can still vote for him now and our country will be Ok. We want our country better than OK we want Hillary that can win and be a great president in a crazy time. Super delegates pay close attention to this and take note.

Go Hillary 08

Please. A stoned rhinocerous would be a better President than Bush.

Come to think of it, that's what you'd be getting with a vote for McCain– like a stoned rhino, he's myopic, short-fused and delusional.

I would not have said something like that if i were in his position because that is contradictory of him saying McCain would be a Bush third term. But, considering the Bush level of idiocracy being better than him still does not mean being smart. It just means that you are smarter than a 10th grader.

You would think he is applying for the McCain VP job.....

Clitonistas and other people full of hate: what is so wrong with senator Obama saying something honest and true about someone?

that is the big difference between clintonistas and Obama's supporters, we can agree to disagree and we can recognize good even if it is in the republican party, while the clintonistas and clinton themselves believe they are above everyone including god.........

mm >>>>>>who is the elitist???

Go ahead, vote for Hillary.
Let the recession continue as the Clinton's continue to cash in.
(Do you think Gas prices affect them?)

She lies.
She does not care for you, she loves Hillary.

She couldn't keep ONE man happy and satisfied, how is she going to keep a nation happy?

We need change.. McCain or Obama.. not Hillary.

Lets sort this out.....

anyone would be better than the war-hungry and delusional McPain, who thinks the economic troubles are psychological.

anyone would be better than Clinton(s), who has been caught in lie after lie after lie, who makes up stories and balmes others for spreading them, and who decries something Obama has said one minute, then does it herself the next.

So, that leaves Obama (or Nader, if your a moron)..... yes, he ives good speeches, but hes the best of all of them!

Pennsylvania voters, cmon! Please don't vote for the Clintons, who are chronic liars!

I would be a better president than BUSH!!!!!!

Why the hell would Obama say that! Big Mistake!!!!

Bush would of been a good president. just has the wrong advisors behind him. from V.P down

Mac Cain is the same as Bush....however he is trying to make his ideas look better than that mess of Bush.

Mickey Mouse could be a better prez

Maybe smarter than I thought, this Obama; he's angling for a slot within the McCain administration.

How Funny... I agree with you. Being from Pennsylvania I can tell you that Obama will perhaps have to also wait until he is 70+ to run again for a Presidential office. It's looking might good for Hillary right now.

McCain & Clinton is WAYYYYYYY better than Obama.

Lol....all this post seems to attract a lot of MAC CAIN supporters LOL

Finally they feel at ease without pretending to be a Hillary supporter and attack Obama

Obama 08-12 for world peace and world economic grow!

The Pope endorsing Obama. I think not because he is pro-choice. These Obama supporters are really out there?

I'm no fan of McCain's, but if Obama is the democratic nominee, McCain will get my vote in November! Thank you Obama for telling me McCain is ok!

Yea, I would like Sen. Obama to explain that one. Well, I guess he's not George Bushes third term afterall.

At least he did not say McCain will be better than Hillary Clinton

He also said in the same speech that McCain is a 3rd Bush term. The news here just didn't report that part.

Jack Cafferty needs to be fired, just like Imus was for his China "goons" comment.

Hey the pro 9/11 attack on the US people all support you Obama. You are their kind of people. Like Hamas, Wright, and morons.

Why are people (especially Hillary people) so afraid to hear the TRUTH? There's no way to top Bush without another Bush. McCain is BETTER, but he's still a cookie cutter slave to the Neocons.

Anyone would be better than Bush.

Obama also said "Either Democrat would be better than John McCain". Again, this is being taken out of context!!!

A chimp would be better than the idiot currently serving....oh wait he is a chimp!

Um, yeah...my 17 year old cat would be better than bush, and he doesn't even have thumbs.

Dr. Ron Paul would be better than all of them and he is still in the race!

I see that COMMON SENSE has left the blogging today. Clearly, people are trying to latch on to every FREAKIN

This is not news!

When a majority of historians believe that we have all lived through the first failed presidency, then it's only obvious that any candidate is better then Bush.

Hiillary, pleases, pleases, pleases quit.

Well, lets hope we never have to find out if McCain is better than W.

Obama 08

Being better than Bush is not much of a compliment...

Does anyone have any form of respect for our nation's leadership anymore?

Anybody would be better than Bush ! Mickey Mouse?

thats the same as clinton saying yes yes yes

Again, Obama getting in trouble for telling the TRUTH.

At least he'd be a better president than Obama.

So what?
Hillary didn't have anything else to pick on?

Considering that George W. Bush is probably the worst president ever, I don't think this comment is very newsworthy.

As would just about anyone else.

Whats Hillary going to lie about tonight. I hope Larry King has the courage to ask her about Schaife, moveon.org, her court date, etc and not pamper her .

The only one who would help the US IS McCain!
Obama and Clinton are both too preoccupied with having childish arguments to help this country.

Totally agree!! McCain will be a better president than Obama!!!!!!

GO HILLARY!!

If not Hillary.....then McCain!!

What happened to all the comments on this and other topics from yesterday? This blog is such a waste of time. No more.

McCain is wiser and shrewder than Bush. He has leaned from Bush's failures.

Saying that McCain is better than Bush is akin to saying that Hitler was better than Stalin. They're both bad.

Obama, please stop hurting yourself. Think first then talk.
Thank you!!

My drunk uncle would be better than Bush.

It would take great effort to be worse than Bush who has made little effort.

anyone is better then Obama

I hear ya, Patriot. You're preaching to the choir.

McCain will be better than Obama too!!

Obama is just stating the obvious. Harding and Grant were better than Bush too.

Kudos to cnn.com for yet another misleading heading/title

I agree! And Obama would be the best!

Obama for America and America for Obama!

What he forgot to say was that McCain would also be a better President than himself!

Saying that someone would be better than Bush is not saying much. How could anyone be any worse?

Correction: "She is a proven lair and the American people will never be able to trust anything she says".

well , McCain would also be better than Obama

anybody would be better than bush...If I was running for President, I would be better than Bush too...

Why not, both men are going to destroy the U.S., even worse than
it allready is.

Mcbush certainly got more common sense then Bush

McCain would be a better President than Obama. If Obama were to be elected, all we would hear about is race and about how much black people hate white people.

I think I would be a better President than George W. and I have no political experience.

But Hillary is the BEST CHOICE. She has spoken to the issues not rhetoric. And McCain would not be "better" than Bush. It would be more of the same. Is that what we really want?

Is this Obama's way of telling his backers that if he doesn't get the nomination they are to vote for McCain the way he told people in Michigan to vote "undecided" after he removed his name from the ballot?

Oh,the Messiah says McCain would be better.I was holding my breath for a bit but now it's okay.Wonder what he'll say when he gets crushed by McCain.Crushed.

I love Sen.Obama. He has contributed so much and has inspired a great nation to move forward. But this time around, it will be John McCain. Obama's time will come.

McCain often wears a flag pin – maybe that is what he meant.

Anyone would have been better than Bush!

Let's all write in "None of the Above" and make them pick 3 new candidates. These three are the best we have to offer?

ANYONE is better than Bush. My dog is a better choice.

Obama that comment is going to come back to bite you! Mistake Mistake Mistake

Of course McCain is better than Bush. But not by much.

Patroit, what you are saying is exactly what "some" liberal folks were saying in 1980, about Ronald Reagan.

However, history shows that they were wrong about Reagan.

Ditto for John McCain.

True dat! True dat!

1/20/2009 – The End of a Debacle!

Anyone will be a better President than Bush.

Why in this great country of ours, the United States of America, is

Obama is arrogant and smug and cant win.

Yes, this is once occasion in which I can agree with Obama as he will not be our next President even with the nomination. This is certain.

I think a monkey would be better than bush!!!!!!

Oh...come on OBAMA..don't give anymore chances to Billary...!!!

People forget how often the last democrat in office, Clinton, was bombing people

agreed

It's a true statement. McCain would not be the divider that Bush was/is. He would not unite the way Obama will but he would be an improvement–I would say better then HRC.

Let's be realistic, McCain IS better then Bush. Clinton can criticize Obama if she likes; but wasn't it she who said McCain was better than Obama?

Obama trying to take the focus off of himself... all of his scandals. What a joke!

An Obama/Clinton ticket will win it.
I just wish they'd get on with it!

And any Democrat would be better than Marx.

If Hillary becomes president, we'll be longing for the Bush era.

Why is this such a big deal? Since when are candidates are no longer allowed to complement their opponents, even indirectly?

For once I disagree with Obama. Hillary would be the worst possible president in living memory.

Agreed... but we no longer want another Bush Presidency. We want the owner of the statement ae the next President.

Any candidate who makes a statement that he can foresee the United States in Iraq for the next 100 years will NEVER get my vote.. period ...

Iraq is this generations "Viet Nam"... so sad..

My current voting priority order:
1. Hillary
2. McCain
3. Obama

Until Obama served a couple terms as president it would be hard to say if he would be better or worse than George W Bush. Do we really want to find out as a result of the November, 2008 election?

CNN, for gods sake, post my comments! There isn't a single article you have let me comment on, is there something going on here? Be fair please.

As usual, he is 100% correct. It's too bad 'ol ma Clinton can't get some of her own ideas in play.

I don't think any of them would make a good president.

What a brainstorm. Anyone would be better than Bush. It doesn't mean they would be good.

McCain will be bad, Obama will be ineffective, and McCain will be beat Obama in a general election.

What does this tell you? The obvious best choice is Hillary!

Typical CNN SPIN on the subject!!!

I'd love to see the so called media report on swing state polls the way they report on that stupid national poll we look at everyday.

Oh, I forgot it might be the truth

Obama 2008

Payton Manning would be better than Bush. (And have a better QB rating)

He would be much better than Obama!!!!

I have to agree. McCain would be better than Bush. He's more humble and more concerned with national opinion, except on the War. However, both Democrats would be better for the country than McCain.

Well, yeah...
This is like comparing apples to cancer.

I have a HUGE crush on Rick Sanchez.

wouldn't vote for Hillary ever i meant

So? Duh?

Most people think Mc Cain would be better than Barry Obama too.
So PA voters need to get out and vote for Hillary or we are going to end up with another 4 years of Mc Bush.

Apparently Obama has been smoking more recently than he has said.

That isn't much of a complement to say McCain will be better then Bush. I have a chicken that would make a better president.

Well, obviously anyone is better than Bush.

I like Obama's sense of humor.

Yay. So CNN picked up on what Obama said, twisted it, and made it seem better than it is. Thanks CNN. You guys suck.

P.S. This is why I got rid of my television, and this is why I check this web site out about once a week on the average.

The first time I disagree with sen. obama! McBush!

Obama '08!

I watched this speach on cnn and Obama is great. I know Obama will be our next president!!!!

vote for a proven leader. VOTE FOR HIILLARY CLINTON. OBAMA is all talk, soothing bs. VOTE FOR HILLARY CLINTON. we need hillary now. PENNSYLVANIA vote for HILLARY RODHAM CLINTON.

Obama, what is the point in voting for you if McCain is not that bad?

And the negativity continues .........yawn

a rock would be a better president then bush.

This long campaign is playing tricks on candidates.

Please!!!Mccain= 3rd bush term.

This is not news!

What the hay! Obama has slammed everyone for giving a nod towards McCain. Calling them Republicans. Now he is saying McCain would be better then Bush. What else is he going to change?

Can we know the context in which this statement was made so we can be well informed?

Do us a favor!!!

Actually he could have simplified it by pointing out anyone, even a pet rock would be better than Bush.

If John McCain should be President, it would be a dark day for the US.<<<

No, it would be a great day for the United States, especially after he beats the lame and self-righteous Barry H. Obama. Maybe it will be a bad day for screamin' howiedean and George Soros. Can't wait for it to happen!

Sure he would be better on torture but a third Bush term in every other way.

At least he didn't say McCain would be better than Clinton. Get it??

I am an Obama supporter and I have no idea why he would say that. Shut up man.

this proves how enlightened obama is. he is not afraid to say what is true. hillary doesn't have this sort of mindset.
go obama.

THis is news?! it is plain common sense. Mccain and Obama and Clinton would be better then Bush

Then again, my cat would be better than Bush.

McCain would probably appoint competent people and might be less corrupt than Bush. That's how McCain might be better.

What? No way! McCain, McBush.............continuing the policies, that is a 3rd Bush term! Sorry Barack but I totally disagree with you!

I might believe all Obama's change rhetoric if he first was capable of changing his own church.

Yes. McCain would be better than Bush... but so would my five-year-old cousin. Comparing anyone to Bush means starting with a VERY low bar.

I don't know he'd be better than Bush but he's for sure better than Obama or Clinton. Heck, and organ grinder's monkey would be better than either of them.

Bad, better, best – Bush, McCain/Clinton, Obama.

Just because McCain isn't as uninformed as Bush doesn't mean he would not be a third Bush term. he still agrees with Bush on the war and the economy... that is a third Bush term.

A new kind of politics = speaking the truth

McCain and Hillary = old kind of politics

I think the main point is that a monkey liberated from any zoo in the country would be a better president than George Bush.

stupid comment

obama shut up...i'm a support but ...i dont like what u said

the homeless drug addict on the street would be better than Bush! The man's a criminal , and has the IQ of a brussel sprout {with apologies tp the sprout}!

Obama is laying the groundwork for his own defeat in the general. If you want a Democrat in office, Hillary is the one.

Well, yeah, but who wouldn't be? Okay. Cheney. But who else, really?

Bush is worst, McCain worser in that order, who is bad then ...Bilary Clinton..hahaha?. McCain = Bush if McCain runs on Bush current policies..make sense

Obama: We can't tell yet. Too early to speculate. Let's watch how McCain campaigns for this job. A lot will be revealed about him in the coming months. Watch out.

Well, the beehive isn't as bad as the mullet... the Macarena isn't as bad as the chicken dance... Sea-Monkeys aren't as bad as pet rocks... and so sure, McCain isn't as bad as Bush.

Hey take it from Obama if Hillary isn't the nominee vote McCain

This is not newsworthy. Everyone already knows this!

what's with obama, he's flipflopping again.

Hilary saYs the same thing about John Mccain

ANYTHING BUT BUSH, DO YOU REMEMBER THAT?

Seriously, who can be worst than Bush?

I think things would change. WAR,WAR WAR

Means like 20 years ago...

I think even Fido the dog is better than bush.

Superdelegates, please pay heed. Senator Obama will hand the GOP another four years. Please pay heed.

Obama, I don't kind you would be any better than Bush.

Obama equals:

- 80K troops left in Iraq.

- 20 year relationship with a crazy racist, preacher.

- Elitist snobbery with regard to small town America.

- ZERO political experience on a national level.

- More terrorist attacks on U.S. soil.

Also he would be a better President than you too, OBAMA!!!

Hey, I'm an Obama supporter, but I have to agree.... right now, there's nowhere to go but up.

Bush is a buffoon.

Obama is the greatest, is that what you moderators want to post?????

The media, like a pack of paparazzi in need a scandal hit, are lost sheep in this one....they don't know what to do with the truth...it scares them...

Almost anybody, no, anybody. would be a better president than Bush!
So he told the truth. The truth, how refreshing!

Another Obama's gaffe that will not go well for the far left.

My german shepherd would be better than Bush.

who are you campaigning for obama? Are just planning to hand over the white house to mccain? McCain is another bush! Don't give me this line that he would be better!

Prepare you eco-friendly light fixtures then. Your gonna need them!
McCain all the way! F-Iran!

McCain might be better than Bush. But thats not saying much.

This is feint praise. The worst presidents in the history of our country–Harding, Grant, Buchanan–were all better than George Bush.

HILLARY CLINTON BESTS THEM ALL!!

VOTE FOR HILLARY ON TUESDAY!!!

Once again honesty is regarded as weakness.

It is hard to imagine ANYONE who would not be an improvement on Bush.

That said I'd prefer to have Rev Wright anyday over an ancient white guy still trying to win the vietnam war..

No! the dark day for the USA, would be if Obama was President! he would have all his Hommies over to do Drugs!

List of people that would be a better President then Bush:

Obama
Clinton
McCain
Batman
The Easter Bunny
Hulk Hogan
A Rock
A bag of Skittles
Hot Dogs
Everyone

This isn't news.

Yeah, I'm going to have to...disagree with you on that one.

Wow! I hope McCain doesn't let such praise go to his aging head!

Ombama would not be fit to shine Bush's shoes!

Yes McCain is better that busy and that is the honesty truth that americans dont wanna here. even my dog is better that President busy.

Mc Cain is a true hero, no question about it. However, on party had won 3 consecative terms in the last 60yrs. With the current situation in Iraq, the economy and gas prices, a win for Mc Cain it is next to immposible.

It's probably true, but... Really would anyone not be better than Bush. Alberto Gonzalez is the only person I can think of.

if any one attacks the u.s. if obama was pres. he would probably stand up and shake there hands.

SEN OBAMA WILL SAY WHATEVER HIS STRING PULLERS TELL HIM TO SAY . THAT IS WHY HE GETS INTO TROUBLE WHEN HE STRAYS FROM THE SCRIPT

I wish Obama would make up his mind on his views. They change daily it seems.

This tell us that Obama is not electable, he is fraud.

As would most other people

As a Republican I can say with absolute certainty that NO ONE could be worse than Bush except for bin Laden-– and that is a close call!

once again taken out of context; what is wrong with the

C=clinton
N=national
N=network

I never thought I would compare him favorably to anyone, but even NIXON was better than Bush.

this is smart of obama. surely he believes that his friend mccain is better than bush. i'm proud of him for not lying to win votes. the honesty is refreshing, even if his strategy team cringed.

Obama and Hillary are far better than both Bush and McCain.

Also McCain is not honest with his tax returns and his medical records. His economic policy is too weak. Military man can't be president to bring peace.

OBAMA 2008 !!!!

Anybody would be better than Bush!

April fools day was several weeks ago

McCain just is not the answer to climbing out of the hole this country is in.

McCain is too old and too much military ma. We need a president who can stop the war and bring peace in the middle east.

OBAMA 2008...!!!!

Listen up all you who are sucking up to the obama. He is not fit to polish President Bushe's boots. He would not even make a good pimple on Bushes butt.So go right ahead, keep sucking, see what it gets you.

Why did obama give Hillary the bird twice! Same speech same finger!

I believe he has equated John McCain's ECONOMIC policies to those of Bush. BIG DIFFERENCE.

obama can not win in november, we need hillary to beat mccain come november. i strongly belive that she is the only one to beat him. go hillary........cuz we sure don't need a dark day with either mcain r obama.

If no Obama,than McCain will be just fine.At least McCain didn't land under sniper fire anywhere we can think of!

At least Barack didn't say that MCcain has more experience than Hillary like Hillary said about Barack! She was insane to actually "endorse" a Republican over her own party. Just sick!

Barack 08!

At this point anyone would be better than Bush.

Well said President Obama!

Can't wait to see you in the BURGH tomorrow!

Pittsburgh for Obama

An Omeba would be better that Bush! Who doesn't know that?

Hey, what about me?

If John or Hillary become our president, it will be our country's darkest hour.

Kick the 100 million dollar babies to the curb.

Vote Barack Obama
08

I am not sure what Obama ment because we need to hear the whole speech not taken out of context CNN.
Go Obama your better then Clinton and McCain period

Yeah thats what i said,WHAT??? Is he crazy or what

McCain i pretty much the same as Bush

I cant believe Barack just said that.

That's really not a concession, it's the truth. Ron Paul would be better than Bush, too.

Chris Welch that`s not even reporting.Are you new or bored.

obama please retract that comment

Chris Welsh a you bored today.

My grandmother would be better than Bush.

Obama 08

obama must be losing it ,now hes campaigning for mccain. get him out of there before he destroys the demo. party...

McCain might be a little less incompetent then Bush.....but I certainly think he will be more dangerous.

McCain has been calling the "Obama Kettle" by its true color - "irresponsibe," so now Obama wants to make a little "nicey-nicey" with McCain - what a hack!

CNN is full of shoddy reporting, as always. The last line of this article is pointless. He was ripping on McCain, believe me. I actually saw this

THAT'S NOT POSSIBLE OBAMA...MCCAIN'T IS THE FLIP SIDE OF BUSH.

Uh, I think it is safe to say that McCain would be better than Bush. The bar isn't exactly through the rof on this one.

I'm so sick of all these little things couting as news. Anyone else agree?

This is CNN version of the news. we dont trust CNN anymore. Obama never said that Mccain is a better president and vote for him. it is silly and low. Obama is running for president and how he can say vote for Mccain.

I have a feeling that the media, once again, took this out of context. But anyway, he is probably right. And I am starting to think that McCain would be better than Clinton too.

Obama's right, McCain would be better than Bush, but that's like saying a '76 Maverick in better than a '74 Pinto. They're both old and they both suck.

OBAMA '08.....PEACE '09

This is the only statement that Obama has made this election cycle that is anywhere near true, he made one small mistake though both HRC and McCAin would be better than Obama

I agree with the Patriot

Patriot, absolutely right. McCain almost guarantees another, and perhaps the last major war Frustrated by all these little wars we've had since Vietnam, I think he wants us to win the Big One, even if we have to start it ourselves... to prove Ameican dominance once and for all!

I hope the Super Del did hear Obama saying that!

I concur with Patriot's statement. I think McSame will be worse!

Anyone on Earth would be better than Bush. Of course, Hillary also happens to think that McCain would be better than Obama

McSame maybe better than Bush. even my dog pooh is better than dubya.

Yes... McCain would be a better President than Bush. McCain would be a better President than Obama...

At least he didn't say McCain is better than Clinton... The type of comment reserved for Clinton to make about Obama.

I agree with Obama that McCain is better than Bush. Pretty much anyone can be better than Bush at the level he has performed.

To the above poster:

You are an idiot.

Obama was being GLIB! Look it up!

Senator Obama and Senator McCain would conduct the most distinguished Presidential campaign in memory. That alone is something to ponder.

There are many reasons, however why I will be voting for Obama on Tuesday.

Actually, the comment was that any three of the candidates would be better than Bush. CNN again wants to grab headlines rather than report the full story. Is there any wonder no one trusts what they read?

What ???

"In the past, Obama has equated a McCain presidency to a "third Bush term.""

This guy will say anything at anytime.

If this is change, I want no part of it !!!

I'm sorry, but isn't it a matter of degree?

ANYONE would be better than Bush. He couldn't have set a lower bar. I think I'll start pulling my hair out if this becomes yet another false controversy. I see Clinton's already leapt onto it.

Just another reason why we need to change this entire process.

McCain is better than Bush in the same way that a poke in the eye is better than a kick in the groin.

The only thing good about Obama is that his staff uses the Gotham font in his Change We Can Believe In posters. That is a nice font.

And both are better than an anti-American elitist or his pathological liar opponent.

The man was being honest. I think that just about anyone is better than Bush, McCain included.

AMEN LOL Patriot

Well Obama wouldn't be better than Bush.... he'd be just like Bush.... very little experience who people want to have a beer with

McCain is also better than you, Obama!

Hillary or McCain 08!!!!

GOOD OBAMA...SHOW THEM SOME RESPECT ON THEIR ABILITY.

YOU CAN BE DISAGREEABLE BUT RESPECT IS VITAL FOR LEADERS

Stop crying kid

GOD BLESS THE USA
PRESIDENT HRC ALL THE WAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thats because you cant be worse then The Worst!

a fossilized trilobite would be better than bush!

The devil himself would be better than Bush.

I am outraged .. How could Obama say that .. I am not voting for him anymore .. I am voting for McCain (The thick of the silly season is upon us when stating the truth makes headline)

a monkey would be better than bush!!

It's scary to see how many comments are being closed with only a couple of entries or the topic disappears altogether. What's up CNN? Are you another ABC?

That's not saying much. Anyone would be better than Bush, but going from Bush to McCain is like jumping out of the fire and into the frying pan... eventually you will get burned!!!

Obama'08

Well, we will definantly find out if SnObama gets the dem nomination.

My Border Collie would be better than Bush !!!!

I can just see those 28% of the people who support Bush asking "What does he mean by that?" while the rest of us smile and nod at them.

McCain would be better than Bush?
Now give him a compliment.

Why the "change' in his tune?

It helps, CNN, to show the rest of that article. You are not giving the whole picture once again.

and we see that the cnn moderators are being paid to control the election by ignoring real comments. funny thing about this democracy isn't it ?

i agree even a baby would be better than Bush and much smarter.

Honesty in politics!

And you to Barry..... Are you still calling yourself that?

Patriot!!! Bomb, Bomb, Bomb. Turkey said, Obama......

Actually, he HAD jsut said that McCain was like having a 3rd Bush term. But then, I watched it.

This man will say anything to get into office....he is pathetic....But if he gets the democratic nomination, I will vote for McCain before I ever vote for him!!!

Even a retarded chipmunk would be better than BUSH. So why is this news?

Yawn...

Listen
anyone but the Clinton Dynasty....
m
McCain at least is respectufl and honest, he is too much into war.. however,

but hey I rather vote for him and not Hillary..............

i dont want a Liar.................. liar liar

Thanks Obama, because if you're the nominee McCain's who I'll be voting for.

Hillary '08

More importantly, better then you. Where is Oprah, heard her ratings took a major dump? Could it be she finally woke up?

So

Oh look!

Obama is twisting his own words... AGAIN

Obama is finished – go back to training school, rookie, and stop wasting our time.

In the past, Obama has equated a McCain presidency to a "third Bush term. He is a confused young man!

Anyone would be better than Obama

Even Nader

Is Obama prophesying his own failure? Sounds like a freudian slip to me.

Super delegates will hopefully save the day for the Democrats and nominate Hillary Clinton.

Wow obama, you are really scary!

That's Obama for you. Watch him try to spin this if it comes back to him...

McCain would be better than that idiot!! Anybody with be better than that idiot.

OBAMA 08!!

Here we go again, the media spin. Barack's words taken out of context again. The point is anyone of them would be better than Bush. Its not a McCain endorsement or any kind. The media sucks!

Thanks Obama...You just solidified the Republican base around Senator McCain. Thanks-from his supporters.

That's not saying much because my dog would be a better president then Bush 1 or 2. Might as well add John McSame to the list too.

Thanks for saying that Obama!

THE ONLY TRUE REMARK THAT OBAMA EVER SAID. HRC WOULD MAKE A BETTER PRESIDENT THAN BOTH OF THEM.

He also said "thats not saying much", though CNN left that out. Ca-ching!

Is he trying to say...when he beats me in November I have no choice but to say..."he's better than Bush"

Wouldn't anyone be better than Bush? Obama tells the truth...but it is still true that a McCain presidency would still be a third Bush term, especially when it comes to Iraq and the economy.

No Obama, don't say that! The Repugs will use it against you.

The real questionn is who wouldn't be a better president than Bush??? He gives lame ducks a bad name...sorry Donald and Daffy!

I don't think its a reflection of McCain so much as Bush's ineptitude!

I love Obama's candor!

I watched this and he was being glib...John McCain and Bush are tightly wed on the war...no if and's or but's.

I'm no fan of McCain but a trained ape would be better than George Bush so I must agree.

I agree with Sen Obama that even Sen McCain would be better than Bush! For that matter I also think that Nadar is better than Bush!

Chill out man. Obama is a very liberal Democrat, and yet he still admits this.

Not to mention the fact that you can't really get worse than 30% approval ratings

.....just by the simple fact that ANYTHING is better than Bush

. . .Anyone is better than Bush.

......so?

Slow news day? Trying to find SOMETHING to get people stirred up? What an utterly pointless "story". Go do some real work, CNN.

Telling it like it is. Your honesty is appreciated, Barack.

Obama '08

with a democratic congress, he won't have any power anyway... lieberman will be his best friend yet...

Obama is RIGHT. Considering the two evils, McCain is better but he is NOT going to win.

Obama 08

What a no-brainer comment "anybody" would be better than the idiot currently in the White House.

Let's just say McCain wouldn't be worse, because nobody could be worse.

Amen to that! Obama08!

and a better president then you.

Hillary or Mccain 08

As Hillary Clinton begins to gain some votes for republicans, Obama tries to seduce the republican electorate by this ridiculous speech.

Obama will say anything to get elected...even go against what he has said himself! What a bonehead. HIS word for himself, not mine.

Oh brother...here we go with the exaggerations and crappy stories.

Thats my main man Obama. Honesty all the time. I like this guy. Looking forward to a civil campaign in November.

And Clinton would be better than Obama!

These observations about McCain and Bush are consistent. We may lose sight of this in the rush to ding this guy, but it's true, and we all know it.

McCain is better than Bush, but he's still terrible. Being better than Bush is a very low bar to set.

Well anyone would be better than Bush PERIOD... I will say I believe Obama would be better than Clinton or McCain though..

Obama 08

Both Bush and McCain are blinded by personal and twisted patriotic interests. However, McCain does seem to have more personal integrity than Bush.

Well he got one thing right, he is a hundred times better than Hitlery if he is better than Bush!

Love ya Barack, but it doesn't take a genius to figure that one out!!!

I have a hard time seeing how anyone could be worse that Bush, even Clinton

McCain and Hillary are better than Obama

What????

McCain better than Bush?

Maybe the implication of that statement is other than its most readily interpretation.

An IRRESPONSIBLE national leader who would glibly sing, "bombbombbomb bombbomb Iran" IS NOT to be taken lightly.

If John McCain should be President, it would be a dark day for the US.

McCain could only be better than Bush because McCain HAS NO POWER YET!

i don't know but, after two presidencies of unrepentant draft dodgers, maybe it is time for another soldier. After all, I guess Ike wasn't that bad.

Much better to have a mature, true American patriot at the helm than a know-it-all lying elitist's wife or a novice racist with muslim overtones!

If Obama continues to be a whiner about everything, he knows that the super delegates will choose the fighter in the race, Hillary Clinton.
Otherwise, we propably will have a President McCain.
No body likes a whiner.

Well, good for you, Barack. Nice to see some civility sparsed in with all the negative attacks coming from all sides of this campaign.

McCain will not win the election because obama knows what americas future is and what it should be.

No argument from me. I think the best candidate is Hillary. Followed by McCain and Obama in third. Therefore if Hillary is not the nominee, I will be voting for second best.

So? My cat would be a better president than George Bush.
Obama would be a better president than McCain!!

comments against Obama are edited out Whats up Cnn are you starting to look bad. Obama is right a drunk off the street would be a lot better than your campain

John McCain is a contunuation of Bush's government. More wars, and much more higher gas and food prices, and lower wages.

FORTUNATELY CLINTON AND MCCAIN WOULD BE BETTER THAN OBAMA BY ALL MEASUREMENTS OD EXPERIENCE AND JUDGEMENT.

Once again I agree with Obama.

"Obama 08 -12"

whoa, not smart to say but totally honest. . . hey, what do you know, a politician just said something honest. . .i like that

We all know the purpose of his bid is to help elect McCain. Obama has no other purpose than to thwart Hillary so that John can win the WH.

Hillary is going to jump him on this..... He's such an idiot for saying that.

Bush,the greatest puppet that ever lived.

Is that because McLame has not started his own war YET? The Hamas terror group would like McLame better too. So that he can Nuke the rival Shiites in Iran!

Heck, my dog would be a better president than Bush.

You will report anything just to take up air time. That statement wasn't even worth the time it took for a reporter to write. It's stories like this that gives the media a bad name.

It's the truth, and it is an excellent sentiment.

CNN must not have anything better to do today.

Is covering God in New York today not enough?

McCain is too old to be President. He should step down.

That is because McCain has at least half a brain!

Out of the three candidates that would be better than George W Bush, BARACK IS THE BEST.

Wow, what a deduction Obama, my dog would be a better president than Bush.

Um NAH! McBush would be just as bad as Bush.

What's clear is if HIllary were to run the country like she's run her campaign, this country would be in big trouble. Her campaign has been a disaster.

Thanks for letting us know that. We will definitly vote for McCain if Clinton doesn't win.

Well, he might be right...but talk about faint praise.

However, we need Barack Obama for president. Thank you.

I wonder if Michelle positioned all those white people behind Barack?

Thank you, Senator Obama. I agree. All three of you would be and no matter what, on January 20, 2009, a heavy burden will be lifted from our country.

Peter S.
Georgia

I think Senator Obama's judgement about Senator McCain's being better than President Bush reveals his lack of experience.

McCain would also be a much better president than you Obama.

Anyone would be better than Bush.

Maybe he would but Senator Obama, you would be better because you bring a NEW spin on all the issues. My whole family is voting for you. We ARE a large family. OBAMA/08

oops, another stupid comment by Obama. I'm voting for Hillary because it does take a Clinton to clean up after a Bush.

Sure all three would be better than Bush - even McCain. It's a losing argument to argue that McCain would be as bad as Bush since it is impossible to get as incompetent as Bush.

go away obama

that doesn't mean anything. I think my dog could be a better president than Bush.

Now that's honesty! no lie~~~

Anybody would be better than another Clinton.....

Before Bush, I'm sure McCain would have been a better president. Since McCain is likely to continue Bush's policies I couldn't say he was any better anymore.

Why is this news??
My little sister would be a better president than Bush...

Thats not saying a whole lot really.A lawn ornament in a suit would be better than Bush.Sadly,history will remember him as the worst President in the history of your wonderful country.

Bush is definitely .. a taker... not a giver... to the American Citizen...!!!
A man who... will pay dearly for his crimes of Greed!!
Yes ..any president for the next 1000 years will be better than
G Dumbuya Bush...!

I agree with Obama this time. But Obama has mangled his statement again – he left out that Hillary is the best candidate of the three.

A forthright leader. Welcome to the presidency!

Now that, I don't understand. I love Obama but I need clarification on how McCain is better than Bush. He will actually be worse than Bush.

And YOU Senator Obama would be ten times better than Hillary Clinton! Go Obama 08

I don't care what he said about McCain before, he hit the nail right on the head, a retarded monkey would be better than bush!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
DEMOCRATS UNITE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I can hear Dean and Axelrod banging their heads on the wall from here.

Anyone would make a better President than Obama.

I would rather have Ralph Nader than obama.

mccain = bush third term

Both Hillary and Obama flip flop too much. Don't have the gut to stand with what they said.

Change we can believe in?

He sure did change his opinion of McCain. I am sure that comment will put McCain up in the polls.

Thanks alot Barach!

Obama = best
Clinton = good
Mccain = bad
Bush = worst

Bozo the Clown, Charles Manson or Terri Schiavo would be better as President than Bush.

CNN how is this news??? For God's sake shape up.

P. S.

GOBAMA!!!!

What an idiot!

It's time for a change in "journalism". What we see on nowadays is akin to what we in supermarket tabloids.

IMHO, being better than Bush is not all that much of a compliment / achievement for any of the candidates.

Meaning: John, I beg you, please stop attacking me.

Way to be tough on McCain...

How about Jeramiah Wright, Barack?

MeCain is better than Obama. Obama is worse than Bush.

sounds like the flip-flopping has begun...

I don't think anyone can be worse than Bush, so he is totally right.

Well there's a stretch. McCain at least has some brains and judgment, which I can't say about the Current Occupant.

Democrats Unite in November!
Eugene, OR

Todays ARG poll has Clinton up 14 points over Obama..Looks like PA likes Hillary.

I think Bush Jr. has been one of Americas finest presidents. People have overlooked the fact that the economy has done outstanding since 9-11

This is why he's a uniter, not a divider.
Please vote for him!

Obama is right. In fact, it's hard to imagine someone who wouldn't be better than Bush of any stripe or party.

Pretty scary that he said that. Know need to do any backsliding on past comments. McCain in no way would do better than Bush

Satan would have made a better prez, but he was busy...

THE COWARDLY LIION AND TO TO WOULD BE BETTER THAN GEORGE W. BUSH.

Heck!
My dog will make a better President than George Bush!

John McCain will be a much better person for the office of the president.
Barry is not going to win a dog show even if he had a dog!
To tell the truth Barry YOU have more bagged than McCain and Senator Clinton put together.
You are suspect to many dangerous BFF'S!!

Well, that's big of him. Useless do nothing loser.

Where is John McCain's flag pin? Perhaps he will start to wear one if Barack is the candidate...

Obama is always fair in what he says. And yet the media will spin this as an endorsement for McCain.

God anyone is better than Bush! We hope.

Obama wants to end the politics that tear each other down down but to stand for the politics for the country; John McCain will comment this comment as being flip flop. He does not get the new message.

Anyone would be better than Obama. He is just another Bush/Rove in sheepskin clothing. All talk and no substance. Go Hillary!!!

Remember those words you Clintonites who are threatening to vote Republican if Hillary doesn't win the nomination.

He is simply telling the truth because he doesn't believe in lying to get elected.
OBAMA 08

OK...

This is ludacris. Obama just lost my vote. I don't know where he stands. Is he campaigning for John McCain?

Obama is a true peacemaker. He's the only one that cares about America. He is our President. I know the Pope did not endorse anybody, but I think he definitely sent a few hints by emphasizing the message of Hope.

Obama '08

please focus on the issues stop prasing other candidates you are there to contest.

We are hear to vote for you not others and you know it will only ber one person and one person only.

Does this guy really want to be president? Why in the world would he say that?

Like a Game of Domino's, for the Democrat's... Whether they're 'Back with White Spot's, Or White with Black Spot's..... They can't decide...
GAME LOST????

It is not saying much that McCain would be better then George Bush because that is not a very high standard to meet. My dog would would be a better president then George Bush.

and OBAMA a better president than Clinton and Mccain

More importantly, better then you. Where is Oprah, heard her ratings took a major dump? Could it be she finally woke up?

Well said Senator Obama, well said.

HILLARY '08

Well, duh! A three legged dog would be a better president than Bush! It will take decades to recover from the damage his administration and the Republican congress have done to our nation.

Yes and He would be far better off than you but not Clinton.Clinton is the best God save America!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

A dog catcher will be better than Bush. What's you point?
Go Obama

It is fair to say. Basically, it is very hard to be worse than GWC no matter how you want to:)

So please John McCain, please stop picking on me- I threw you a bone...I can't seem to ever beat Hillary in any of the big blue states...

Hillary 2008

McBush has no choice to run to the middle, away from George Bush. He will flip flop until the election is over and start have temper tantrum on the Democrats.

No McBush for 08

Obama is grossly underqualified.

Obama should have said that "McCain will be better president than me"

I am not sure Obama will make a better president than BUSH. He started out his campaign on lies and deceptiveness and he continues with his pathetic lies, deceptiveness, diviseness and destructiveness. Beside he is more incompetent than Bush.

It's not a surprise. He speaks the truth even when it hurts. His honesty is what would make him the best President of the 3.

Obama '08

Well, that's better Obama.

Because to say that McCain would just be another Bush term is absurd and alienates a vast number of Independents for whom McCain is their second choice after you, but before Hillary.

That's like saying a guy who bats .150 is better than the guy who bats .100. The bar's pretty low for being better than this president. When you're at the bottom, there's nowhere else to go but up.

Worst. President. Ever.

Saying that someone would make a better president than Bush would be like saying someone has a higher IQ than a banana slug.

LOL How DESperate can you be LOL

Hipocrit!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I think just about anybody would make a better president than Bush. That bar is pretty low.

God bless America and Irak

A monkey would be a better president than Bush.

It is funny He tells the truth! regardless of thought! good for him But we are going to prevent having Mc Cain I can not believe that Hillary supporters would vote for such a bad person just out of spite,that makes no since at all. In the words oh Bill Clinton " Give me a break"!

Go Obama 08 Yes We Can

MISTAKE .

MISTAKE

MISTAKE

Obama himself says Mc Cain is an improvement on Bush

DUMMY DUMMY DUMMY

Dumb George Bush who admitted in front of an articulate British Prime Minister that he could not wait after 10 month's to get out of white house.

Has the war crime tribunal in Hague convened on him yet? My dog Rufus will be a better president than him.

Well point at everyone, and you will have a better president than Bush.
That´s common sense.

Obama those are hpothetical postulations! You have a lot of under cooked food on your plate!Concentrate on yourself,and stop a three pronged attack,when you are alone on the ground!

This might be true but nonetheless:

I can only imagine the explosion of silliness that will come out as a result of his saying it.

Ooopsie.

Although a back-handed compliment, I applaud Sen. Obama's honest recognition that John McCain is his own man.

I glad Obama feels this way because after McCain is elected President they will all have to work together to solve this countries problems.

I agree with Obama. If Hillary is not the nominee, McCain would be a better President than Obama. With McCain you know what you get. With Obama it's a bag full of tricks.

I must say, I agree with him there.

My current voting priority order:
1. Hillary
2. McCain
3. Obama

Until Obama served a couple terms as president it would be hard to say if he would be better or worse than George W Bush. Do we really want to find out as a result of the November, 2008 election?

ONLY HILLARY & MC CAIN WILL BE BETTER PRESIDENT
NOT YOU OBAMA

John McCain is His own Man.... That say's enough.... He has taken the Republican's Choice, for a Leader by Storm... He was Saturated with votes... They, new he was their Leader, more or less Unanimously....

If CNN would watch the entire video, they would see that Barack also said at the same event that John McCain is still offering a 3rd Bush term because his economic and foreign policies are exactly that.

Go Obama! Bring the Clintons down!

That's about the only thing Obama's said that I agree with!

What a brainstorm. Anybody would be better than Bush.

Hillary would be better than Obama. He knows it.
