Julie Nixon Eisenhower has donated the maximum amount to Obama's campaign.

(CNN)— Julie Nixon Eisenhower, a daughter of former Republican president Richard Nixon, is supporting Democrat Barack Obama’s presidential bid.

Eisenhower has donated $2,300 to the Illinois senator’s campaign, the maximum primary season donation allowed under federal campaign finance regulations.

The former first daughter isn’t the only member of the Eisenhower family supporting Obama’s White House run. In February, her sister-in-law Susan Eisenhower endorsed the Illinois senator in a Washington Post op-ed.

Julie Nixon Eisenhower’s sister, Patricia Nixon Cox, is a strong supporter of presumptive Republican nominee John McCain; her husband, Ed Cox, served as state chairman for the presumptive Republican nominee’s New York’s primary campaign. They have donated the maximum amount allowed under Federal Election Commission regulations and hosted fundraisers for the Arizona senator’s White House run.

In 2000, Eisenhower donated $1,000 to John McCain’s unsuccessful run. She also donated $1,000 to President Bush in 2004, according to campaign finance records

Doesn't that tell you that the republicans want Obama to win so that they can beat him in Nov.

jj   April 22nd, 2008 11:19 am ET

Doesn't that tell you that the Republicans want Obama to win so that he will lose in Nov.

carrie   April 22nd, 2008 11:19 am ET

pennysylvania is not determining anything,as well as florida and michigan.
hillary 's fate has been decided long ago(maybe as long as the blue dress)
hillary will never win the nomination and she can never be the president of the united states,
especially when the good people of america are voting.
i quote for reference,the facebook group:1million strong against hillary clinton.the aim was to have 1 million by november,but guess what?its april and there are over 1million members.

so her fate has been sealed for a long time,she just doesnt know it yet.
the fate of loss
thank you

Perry Flair   April 22nd, 2008 11:19 am ET

Eat your heart out Chelsea!

While it's nice that Hillary Clinton has the endorsement of her only child, Barack Obama is leading among former first daughters of both parties.

This includes Caroline Kennedy, who wrote in the New York Times that NO president has ever reached her father's level, and that Barack Obama will- (take that Bill!)

Alan Boyer   April 22nd, 2008 11:20 am ET

Way to go, Julie! I wish more white women would come out of the closet before they vote for Barack. It frees others to do the same.

Montana Obama Grandma   April 22nd, 2008 11:21 am ET

You Go Girl…. you are on the right track with Barack Obama..

Yes.. We… Can… in 2008

Bitter Allen Hissein from Visalia   April 22nd, 2008 11:22 am ET

Wow! Nixon's daughter supports Obama?!? So Democrats have a choice, we can nominate a candidate that can be trulyt transformational or we can have another 4 years of division and Karl Rove soundbite politics. For me the choice is easy. Obama '08.

Jay   April 22nd, 2008 11:23 am ET

Robert in Toronto,ON   April 22nd, 2008 11:23 am ET

Good to hear that more support comes in for Obama during his rough run of late.

What I'd like to hear from is more superdelegates pledging for Obama - since at this point they're votes will count the most.

mama for obama   April 22nd, 2008 11:25 am ET

she is right, Senator Obama is the only one who can bring us all togehter, he agrees to disagree, he recognizes that people are people and we can come together to work something out,

thank you……………. to all republicans who know our country comes first.

Thank you, Julie. Go Obama!

FrankSmith   April 22nd, 2008 11:26 am ET

You know what, the folks in FL and MI need to get over this "brainwashing from Hillary" and her supporters that Obama is responsible for those missing votes. Hillary was "part of the agreement" from the start (when she was ahead), that those votes SHOULD not count. But like any traitor, Hillary betrayed her party in her own best interest. FL and MI will have the chance to vote in the general election. Let us be "rational and realtistic" about this issue. So, if you are from FL and MI, please let it go, stop posting on these blogs Hillary's detrayal positions!!

fred   April 22nd, 2008 11:26 am ET

Already said that Obama reminds me of Nixon…..crook!!

Brooke   April 22nd, 2008 11:27 am ET

Seriously, why is this news? One of my good friends in college supports Obama. My mother supports Clinton… I can go on and on. These "celebrity" has-been endorsements of any candidate do not qualify as news.

Dottie M   April 22nd, 2008 11:27 am ET

Good — Get on the winning team!!

Peter Damoah-Afari   April 22nd, 2008 11:28 am ET

God bless you. It calls for people with high sense of responsibility and trustworthy to do what you have done. America needs great people who are bent on working to see good things in the life of an average American.

Go Obama!!!

typical white person   April 22nd, 2008 11:28 am ET

And he was also endorsed by HAMAS, why don't we see anything about THAT in the ticker,CNN!?!?! The Hamas statement is ""we like Mr. Obama. We hope he will (win) the election….." Hey Obama supporters, doesn't it make you wonder just a teeny weeny bit why a terrorist organization would be so supportive of Obama? Get you heads out of the sand….

Richard   April 22nd, 2008 11:28 am ET

Haha goodbye Obama!
BTW, is Obama going to avoid journalists when they write something bad about him if he's president as well? His 10 day streak of not talking to journalists is disgusting.

John in PA   April 22nd, 2008 11:29 am ET

hmmm..the daughter of the most corrupt President in the history of the U.S. supports Obama…wonder what the connection is? I guess she knows a good corrupt pol on the take when she sees one - it's in her blood!

willowood   April 22nd, 2008 11:29 am ET

What makes this country so great? If you vote your conscience and not just your party there is a chance we will rise again to the good people we really are. Senator Obama has that appeal; it's the person not the party. We need new ideas, new people, better solutions Thank you Julie Nixon Eisenhower. A thinking woman with integrity.

Exodus   April 22nd, 2008 11:29 am ET

He can have that endorsement. Nixon? What a disgrace. GO HILLARY !!!! 08

Thank you Julia! Welcome to the team!

Dick in Sioux Falls   April 22nd, 2008 11:31 am ET

Bill Clinton is a hypocrite if there ever was one. The way he and Hillary have spread the Rev. Wright controversy is in direct contrast to the way he courted the black vote during his own campaigns, and both he and Hillary would have been applauding Wright's prophetic preaching, which has been completely taken out of context.
Hillary, being supposedly United Methodist, knows very well that when you join a Church, you don't join a pastor. you join a community of faith to which you swear allegiance. Her allegiance to the truth is just as cavalier. She will say and do anything to be elected, including destroy the Democratic Party if she doesn't get her way. Please, Pennsylvania, don't miss the opportunity to support the most exciting new inclusive voice to come along since the Kennedy years.

Hillary   April 22nd, 2008 11:31 am ET

Way go Julie Nixon Eisenhower you are very smart woman.

Patricia Nixon Cox is a loser she donated $1000 in 2000 for Mcsame she lost she will lose again this year what a loser.

Farrell, Houston, Tx   April 22nd, 2008 11:41 am ET

Oh yeah, some endorsements do make a difference and this one certainly does. These people are "political insiders" and know the picture the Clintons have painted is not a truthful picture and we've heard the lies for ourselves. It should be no doubt that Hillary cannot be trusted, too many lies and Bill isn't looking much different. This country is ready for a woman in charge, but unfortunately not Hillary, she's damaged her reputation. It's just a matter of who is going to tell Hillary it's over, Obama is the nominee.

MC, Maryland   April 22nd, 2008 11:42 am ET

Hillary supporters I want to stop the fighting. You have your reasons for supporting your candidate and we have ours. Let's get to the finished line and get down to fixing our problems.

Well, there's an endorsement for you!! Daughter of a disgraced felonious President who was all about "anything to win." Julie Nixon is a disgrace just like her father and should really crawl under a rock and stay there. Another great character reference for Obama!!

Typical White Person

If you read somewhere that little green men on Mars supported someone would you believe that also?

When was the last time our polictical process was determined or affected by others outside of the nation?

Did Hamas put that in an email format or send word by telephone?

Don't be so publicly gullible.

Eli   April 22nd, 2008 11:53 am ET

WOW, it sounds like this woman doesn't know what shes doing, she bounces from McCain to Bush now to Obama. Speaking of her and other celebs, WHERES OPRAH? She came out huge, stomping on the stage jumping up and down and now she says NO COMMENT if asked about Obama, how can she get away with this.

I agree with "Carrie". Hillary Clinton had sealed her "DOOM" long before Pennsylvania. Senator Obama has been Chosen by the Highest power ever. Our opinions don't really matter. We need to participate in the process, but Senator OBAMA "WILL"win this Nomination, and the Presidency. All we have are "OPINIONS". Again, "THE MAN IS CHOSEN", and none of us can do anything about it.

This is a good endorsement? Nixon's daughter…..

James, Pennsylvania   April 22nd, 2008 12:12 pm ET

If anyone that posted favorably for Obama could have named her before this "made up" ONN(Obama News Network) "news story" was posted, then I would vote for Obama. Guess I don't have anything to worry about because this isn't news and she isn't important. But glad to see that Obama wants McCain and Bush backers to help them.

Too bad your guy is losing big today.

Nobama!

Hillary, the hardened Heart!!!   April 22nd, 2008 12:13 pm ET

Obama is the candidate of the hour!!! Hillary is trying just to destroy the Hope of the American People. Pennsylvanians, please remember that we have to start getting ready for general election. Hillary is fighting for herself not for the American people, that's why she is looking so bad for a bloodbath in November!! It's too late for her we cannot ressucitate her.

Thank you smart Pennsylvanians!!!

Paula in WI   April 22nd, 2008 12:14 pm ET

He's smart not to talk to journalists right now.Fight against Clinton's lies is the more important task as with the issues.The journalists just want some words to twist for the tv .You notice they are keeping quiet that Senator Clinton has a fraud hearing coming up on the 25th.CNN won't print this either if they are part of that bias Clinton machine.We want to hear about the issues and not the Clintons' sense of entitlement to the White House on our dime.

lowentag   April 22nd, 2008 12:14 pm ET

Does this endorsement really matter? and Bruce Springsteen? and Michael Moore? Hillary picked up an endorsement by the Construction Workers' Union last week and CNN still hasn't put it on the ticker?

Which begs the question, "Should Americans vote for the wife of an almost impeached president?"

Oh, please. Who cares what she thinks. Her dad was a covery operative for the Republican party and she probably is in therapy to get over it! This disclosure re her choice is part of the 12 step program.

Next Bush's twin daughters will be endorsing Obama. Only problem, nobody cares! Last I checked everyone gets one vote. So why should I care who they are voting for and why?

Eric   April 22nd, 2008 12:48 pm ET

Lisa   April 22nd, 2008 12:55 pm ET

WATERGATE PEOPLE! This is the kind of people Obama attracts because he falls into the same category.

Texas   April 22nd, 2008 12:57 pm ET

Oh, please! Who cares about this woman - Obama campaign only cares about her money!!

Alozie   April 22nd, 2008 12:57 pm ET

I believe that Obama will change of politics in this great country called United States of America and will bring about a new face in the world politics; the face that will endear Americans to the outside world. I just know it. Obama's politics radiates confidence in the American dream

Amy OFlaherty Reno, NV   April 22nd, 2008 12:58 pm ET

How is Obama not talking to journalists disgusting? We're all such hypocrites. If the media is doing our candidate favors, we're fine. If not, then the media needs to stay out of it. Which is it? Let's not be flip floppers. Obama has cajones to not talk to journalists (if that's what's happening). However, his interview this morning on Good Morning America would lead me to believe that he is, indeed taling to journalists, since that's what Robin Roberts IS! Stop being ignorant. Let these 2 candidates do their thing for a while and see how it plays out.

Didine   April 22nd, 2008 12:58 pm ET

Great Job Julie! We love you. Barack is the right man at the right time. Thanks for supporting him. He will be our next President of the United States.
Yes ….We…..Can….'08

Julie's decision just might cause her father to stir a little in his resting place…….but times are changing…….

Way to go Julie, you know how to recognize a gem when you see one. Obama 08

LOOKING 4 HONER IN USA   April 22nd, 2008 1:01 pm ET

OBAMAS NEW MOTTO THIS BIRDS 4 U WHAT HAPPEND TO CHANGE ????? COUNTING ON U IS COUNTING BACKWARDS LIKE 40 YEARS

Jonh, NC   April 22nd, 2008 1:01 pm ET

Dear, Juile Nixon

Thank you for your support and bravely standing up for
change in a time when our country should be asking
not what your country can do for me, but what can I do for
My country. Obama is asking America that question.

Yours truly

America citizen

Hillary   April 22nd, 2008 1:03 pm ET

An anti-Obama ad by a pro-Clinton group says her plan would "help every American" and implies his would not. In fact, Obama proposes to offer subsidized coverage, just as Clinton does.

A Clinton ad claims her plan would cost $1,700 less to cover each uninsured person. But that’s based on a study that compares a Clinton-like plan with one that is different from Obama’s.

Clinton unleashed attack phone calls accusing Obama of "impos[ing]" a "hidden tax" on families that isn’t a tax at all but a cost that actually would be reduced.
In fact, the Clinton and Obama health care plans would both offer large government subsidies to aid the estimated 47 million Americans who don’t have health insurance. Both are predicted to do far more to reduce the number of uninsured than anything offered by Republicans, and to cost far more as well. The biggest difference is that Clinton would impose a requirement on everybody to obtain coverage, a potentially unpopular mandate. Obama’s plan would make coverage available to all but require it only for children, not adults. These attacks and counterattacks, however, present a warped picture to Pennsylvanians.

Peter   April 22nd, 2008 1:03 pm ET

I guess if you're going to tell us who every Kennedy third cousin is supporting, it's only fair that you tell us who the Nixon kids are supporting.

Only 7 more hours till we find out if Barack Obama was able to buy Pennsylvania.

By the way, criss and Chip Ohio, you both do your candidate proud, if your candidate is as big a fraud as I think he is.

FDR   April 22nd, 2008 1:04 pm ET

give way to obama. he is the man america needs to change america

Debbie in Texas   April 22nd, 2008 1:05 pm ET

Thanks, Julie you are a patriot. This is not easy, however it is not easy seeing our United States in the state that it has been in for years. It is time for a change and the change does not start with the CLinton's.

Fed Up Democrat   April 22nd, 2008 1:06 pm ET

Once again I am relieved that the American Public is not as thick as the MSM or the Clintons believe. My faith is restored. Forgret about the dynamics of it all. Can we as a nation afford to trust our futures with a liar and egocentrist as the next President. I can underastand the need for Hill supporters to hold on to the past- but this is the futere of America at stake. After Bush, Clinton and Bush, we cannot condone another liar and power hungry polition in the highest office in the world. Hill, I used to love you. In the early daze of the internet, as a family, through your greatest tribuklations in the WH, I had my 7 year old daughter right to you in support. The response letter sat on our Piano for years. Now that I have had the opportunity to see the real you, I can only ask myself " whjat the H were you thinking"? Especially now that she supports you-Poly Sci Major at Club Midd". Where did I go wrong? LOL
Seriously folks. The future of America is at stake. Hillary and no redeeming quailties to make her President. Unlike Barack, I don't think she will be better than Bush. She is far worse. I could never vote for someone as corrupt as her.

Bayou Joe   April 22nd, 2008 1:17 pm ET

in moderation again.

In the end, the lion will lie with the lamb. The snake will curl up to the Rabbit. Nancy Pelosi doing a commercial with Newt Gringrich.
A Nixon supporting a Left wing Democrat. Surely the end is near.

Catherine   April 22nd, 2008 1:37 pm ET

Funny how many of you judge Julie. This is an actual PERSON you are talking so cruely about. You know nothing about Julie except what the media has portrayed (which is very little). She is not trying to gain fame through this donation, she is simply giving money to the canidate she believes in, which every person has a right to do.

Ann   April 22nd, 2008 1:44 pm ET

so.. Ms. Nixon is a Republican…

Hillary'08!

Brian - Trinidad   April 22nd, 2008 1:44 pm ET

I bet she sees a lot of similarities between Obama's character and Nixon's. Another nail in Obama's coffin.How come nobody raises the question that with all these old political personalities behind Obama,how in the heck is he going to change Washington?Isn't he going to follow all these people's advice?

Marc Tacoma, Wash   April 22nd, 2008 1:56 pm ET

Never Obama really needs to get a life. I hope you have a very good and secure job. Hillary is a big time supporter of H1B visas. Learn something about it. Remember, Bill Gates is behind Hillary on this matter.

smith98   April 22nd, 2008 1:56 pm ET

I'm with everyone else… SO? Is this a good thing?
