I am sick of all involved bringing up Katrina and the Ninth Ward. Katrina DEVESTATED people in Mississippi and you never hear about them. Did everyone forget as well that the very next month Hurricane Rita completely wiped out many communities on the Gulf Coast in other areas of Louisiana and Texas. I never see anyone going to Holly Beach or Cameron, LA asking these people if they need some help rebuilding. Where is the help for them?

First one there gets my vote!

is it just me or is Hillary always proclaiming how much of a "fighter" she is? if you ask me I think its the "fighting" that has caused our government to grind to a halt in being able to effectively deal with the problems facing americans today. I think the last thing this country needs is more fighting from a "fighter", how about someone who actually listens to both sides and thinks through the most appropriate action for the country and then invites both sides of the fight to help shape the solution. I think Obama has shown how effective he is at this ability, but thats just my two cents.

enough with the fighting, how about some cooperation?

What happened in Katrina was very sad...a failure of governments at local, state and federal levels.

The Lower 9th was a culturally significant community.

But, it's our money we're talking about spending.

It would be immoral to rebuild a community there without making it safe when the next hurricane hits. How much will this cost?

We could build a new community for these folks in the New Orleans area in a safer place, at a lower cost. We could take the money saved and build better schools and send kids to college.

I'd prefer that we bulldoze the Lower 9th and make it a memorial park for those that died. Let's look to the future of the living, and forget about trying to recapture a past that has been washed away.

A more likely scenario: Former Clinton & Obama Supporters = President McCain

Ridiculous!
Political garbage!

You don't base such decisions on emotions, by looking at someones expressions!

You have to logically make a decision whether to rebuild it or not, in the face of another possible hurricane, and the maintenance of the levees.

If Hillary does not get the nomination- I'm leaving the democratic party.

Obama is a joke.

The DNC is corrupt and fixed this primary for Obama.

I do not want an American Idol for president.

Now the superdelegates are being pressured to FORGET the reason they were created to begin with... and are going with the popular vote instead of doing what is best for the party and the country.

The point of superdelegates is to decide a close primary when neither reaches the minimum required delegates. The rules say nothing about simply echoing the popular vote. What would be the point of creating the superdelegates?

She only did it to make it look as though she is trying to go after McCain she really don't want to say anything bad about McCain.

What doesn't this lady have experience doing? It is scary when someone has experience at handling SITUATION.

"The difference between Senator McCain and myself is that I have a long record of fighting to rebuild the Gulf and to help the citizens who live along the Gulf who were left to their own devices by their government,"

How long ago did Katrina hit? How LONG is her record of fighting to rebuild the Gulf? Before this campaign, I can't recall Hillary Clinton down in the gulf region doing anything. This is yet another example of her so-called experience that she will will not have to explain and the media will not research!!

Hayman I agree with you. That is wrong with our whole election system. We keep putting the same people in their over and over and expecting something different. Hilary was in the Senate as well. I think all three of them were in the senate when this happened. If I am wrong I stand corrected. I know atleast two of them were. Katrina was bad now let's figure out how to fix it instead of throwing blame everywhere. Everybody screwed up now let's move on.

There needs to be the question asked: since McCain would rather the private sector do it, then were would they get the money since no one can afford to pay these companies except the government? If there was profit to be made is social welfare projects, then there would be little in the way of the homeless or problems getting people into addiction treatment centers.

I cannot believe a lot of white women would vote for a man who is against a woman's right to choose instead of a black man. That's really sad.

Well, this fifty nine year old white woman would be prould to vote for Obama for president if my candidate does not get the nomination.

What has Hillary Clinton proposed but the same "Bomb Iran" strategy abroad that McCain supports? And all that does is take money and National Guard troops away from what they do best - just ask the NGs that have been diverted from statewide issues to fight in the Iraqi Civil War.

Hillary can't hit McCain on domestic issues if she continues to support the Trumanesque Bush/McCain doctrine of preemptive wars abroad.

Hillary has been fighting for us for 35 years!! Results??

Hillary is the absolute BEST

From May 18, 2007 speech to a crowd of New Orleans' elected and community leaders,

"It is unacceptable that 20 months after the storms, New Orleans is still coping with vulnerable levees, closed hospitals, dilapidated schools, rising crime, halting economic development, and a shocking lack of affordable housing."

OK, what has she Done?

I know,
1.Pander to the crowd
2. Tell them what they want to hear
3. Make it up as you go along.

Enough of the "Fairy Tales"

Vote Obama 08

Sticks and stones bloggers. Listen to yourselves before you bash anyone for being bad. Listen to your own words. LOSERS!!!!!

michael, ny, I totally agree with you. She doesn't even build herself up, she just tears others down. At the end of the day, who is left standing? McCain.

She's really ruining the democratic party in my humble opinion. I wish she would sit down somewhere.

hillary and mccain are both responsible,for the response to katrina,scientists had warned for years,that new orleans' levees could not withstand a large hurricane.but,while clinton and mccain were fighting their never-ending struggle of politics as usual,they dropped the ball.and the limp-noodled 'leader' ,of our great nation,was so lost at what to do next,that he didn't even get his feet wet,trying to rescue the thousands of people desparate for help.what a complete joke this government has become.it's time for a change,and the american people should demand this change and vote for obama/edwards,in 2008.

I don't see anythng wrong with what she said.

She went there. Helped. Donated. Isn't that true?

Where was this Mr. McCain in 2005 in the aftermath of hurricane Katrina?? He was no where to be found. Three years after Katrina, McCain tells us that Bush and his administration mis-handled the situation. This Mr McCain is a fraud.

Of course Clinton is attacking.... Its the only way to get free air time since shes more in debt that was originally thought.. I too am an Obama supporter and we are doing just fine money wise.. Shes attacking and Obama is addressing the issues just as it should be..

Obama 08

HIllary, you are disgusting. You are picking out little phrases that John and Barack are saying, and taking them all out of the context of what they meant, to make them look bad and make yourself look good!

You are such a manipulator, and you should be ashamed of yourself for using the devastation in Bosnia, post- 911, and Hurricaine Katrina as a platform for your own political gain!

You are such a hypocrite, and you disgust me!! It is terrible that there are just some people who refuse to see through your awful character, and refuse to see that you will do anything just to win and make this all about you!

HILLARY, SHAME ON YOU! And if you manipulate your way into being the Democratic Nominee, as a protest vote I will be voting for McCain! There is no way in Hell, that I will ever vote for you!

OBAMA FOR PRESIDENT! '08

Finally, Hillary go after the OTHER party!!!

Clinton is THE worst team player anyone could vote for. She has spent 10's of millions of dollars to stay visable bashing the other credible campaigner within her own party but not the Republican party. And people are still contributing to her campaign after all of her negativity to her own party?

Next smart move for you Hillary – check out the math. You can't win – so where are all of your NEW donations going?

It is not up to Washington to "fix" New Orleans.

New Orleans can only be fixed by the people that live there. If they are looking for political solutions, they have already failed that test by re-electing the clowns that oversaw their pathetic infrastructure before Katrina exposed how unprepared the city and state was to deal with what could only be described as an unfortunate eventuality with hurricanes.

Until the people of New Orleans are willing to try different political solutions, new ideas that stress market progress, and the policies that other places have employed to great success that were also hit hard by Katrina, then New Orleans can stew in its own sauce as far as I am concerned.

just another immature attack; when was the last time Clinton was in New Orleans? you hear the stories, nothing is any better down there, people still live in mobile homes-so her husband was down there with Brangelina to help, but that's it-Hillary, go away!

Everytime there is someing that comes up Hillary has always done that and been there. Okay Hillary I am tired of you. Let's see how well you can fight McCain and leave Obama alone.

As the democrats behave like democrats, atleast we have somebody behaving like a President.

It is amazing all of the hatred from the left on these boards.

No wonder they can't pick a decent candidate.

Trying to win back the black vote Hillary?? Not gonna work..

Hillary is still doing bad math.The land is below the water level. This is not good for the area. Hillary needs to recommend something not let this
happen every time nature has unfavorable conditions. whatever the answer is, Hillary has experiance, not positive decision making skills.
NOT CONCRETE ANSWERS ,JUST COMMENTS!

Clinton how about denounce the ad that the RNC is putting out against Obama in North Carolina.

I am also waiting for you to denounce Gov. Rendells praise of Louis Farakhan and the Nation of Islam. (Do I hear birds chirping?) The Clinton candidacy is a joke.

Hillary is fair she targets everyone with her hate ads.

You have heard very little about McCain asking the NC RP to take the negative ads about Obama off the air.

Bet ya Hillary will still go negative.

Did she dodge sniper fire while she was there?

I'd like to know one thing Hillary has done for New Orleans. Just one.

Why should anyone go after either candidate? Is a respectful campaign simply too much to expect?

I agree with Shirley, where was Hillary before she was running for Prez. There were a lot of photo ops but no action, she didn't have to go to NO, she just had to stand up to GW and tell him "Shame on You, GW" isn't that what she said to Obama when she accused him of doing something wrong.

Oh wait, she is whoever you need her to be: hunter, war fighter, peacemaker, sniper fighter, crook, liar, blue collar worker, anit trade person, trade person, you name it she is it. GO HILLARY

Where was John McCain when Hurricane Katrina hit? This man who is SOOO concerned about the victims now spent time partying and celebrating his birthday with Bush at the same time that hundreds died in New Orleans.

Yea she was there for a picture op.

No one has ever heard her talk about N.O. until today.....

Ahh oooh, McCain she “got you” on this one. Now will the media run with the comments that McCain wants to tear down the 9th Ward? I will sit here and wait.....

As I wait, if Sen. Clinton has done so much the why is there still so much still to do? I mean every time you turn around she is saying that she has either done that before or she can fix it. If she can fix then just fix and stop telling people you can do it and it never gets done. i.e. universal health care.

Clinton has been to New Orleans a few times not just to have her picture taken geesh. When is Obama going over to Iraq thats the question these superdelegates should be asking before they make up their mind.

Hillary and McCain had their opportunity to repair Katrina devastation right after the flood, not until they are running for President and several years later. Too little too late.

Hillary has done just about everything in this world hasn't she? As soon as someone says anything, she comes back with a bigger, better and more important involvement.

What respect I had for the Clintons is now gone as a reslt of this campaign. She had her turn, she was co-president for 8 years, as she would like everyone to believe.

Shouldn't there be term limits for spouses too?

She is all over the place. What proposals have she put forth from N.O>? That is right it is in her commercial. She is what is wrong with America.

YES. Can we please agree to start going after this guy and let the bickering stop amongst ourselves?

Clinton '08/'12

Hillary is manipulative, vindictive, divisive, shameless, back-stabbing person. Why people keep voting for her?????
CLINTONS=REPUBLICANS
Wake up democrats, you need our support Independents, but we do not see you being very smart on this one. All the support that Obama is having form Independents and some Republicans will go away if you Democrats do not stand up, have a back bone and finish this bloody race that the Clintos + Republicans are doing to your Party.

Democrats + Independents + Some Republicans = Win for Obama!

She loves to claim how much she has been fighting for this and fighting for that.......what does she ever accomplish. Started healthcare how long ago...still fighting....worse than ever.

She is just nasty and a liar.

I love Hillary, but recently i am beginning to dispute the fact that, she is the right candidate to be the president, She is now extremely negative,she has lost contact,anyway i still hope she wins, if not she have herself to blame, she should stop blaming anyone for her down falls.Please Hillary concentrate on the issues.

Funny how Hillary has a 'long history' when it comes to any topic that comes up. Good grief, you'd think she's been a senator since the 1600's!!

And remember these people – Billary and Ob – are the ones who take control of our health care. Frightening!!

McCain campaign, in defending yourself or sending a return attack, please do not send it at Obama as you have done in the past. This makes it look like you're trying to support Hillary in order to draw out a bitter Democratic nomination battle – maybe you are?

this woman has " a long record " on everything! beware of an all knowing woman!

Play with Obama today… and fight in Iraq with John in Nov.

America wake up- Obama is a demagogue- the slickest of politicians.

But he can not reach most of America.

The democrats know who to nominate so that they will always lose the election.

Obama= lose in Nov.

"She has a better record of fighting to rebuild the Hurricane-ravaged region" Oh, please stop, Hillary! How stupid do you think we are?

It was John Edwards who stood amongst the rubble of the 9th Ward to announce both the beginning and, sadly, the end of his presidential bid.

It was Harry Connick Jr. (Musician's Village) and Brad Pitt (Make it Right) who rolled up their sleeves and actually did something.

And, by the way, what has the William Jefferson Clinton Foundation done or donated to rebuild this great American city?

Why of course, Hillary has done everything, all you have to do is just listen..................she will tell you. The only thing she hasn't done is ......"Tell the Truth". Plan and simple fact with this women is that you can tell when she is lying................and that is the moment she opens her mouth.

At least both McCain and Hillary are beginning to talk about solutions for New Orleans, that that will help to raise attention to what needs to be done there – that's important. Still, I'd have more respect for either one them if, rather than talking about what needs to be done, they joined the thousands of American volunteers out there everyday rebuilding houses for people who lost their homes.

I appreciate Senator Clinton for attacking her true enemy- John McCain.

As far as any of you disappointed Clinton supporters who say they will vote for McCain if Clinton does not make it, remember that McCain voted to kick the Clintons out of the White House in 1999 because of the Monica Lewinsky scandal.

He also reportedly joked about Chelsea Clinton being ugly at a GOP fundraiser.

Better records rebuilding!!!
There is no rebuilding yet and peolpe are still living in trailors...
Is this another sniper fire?

That's it if you don't agree with someone tear down his proposals without putting forth one of your own.

That is why you are both losers. The Democrats don't have a clue as to what america wants or believes in. They are stuck in the past, still fighting civil rights and being protectionists.

Democrats, this is 2008, we are a World Power, We are the only ones that stand for Liberty and Freedom. We are the future of the world. So get your heads out of the sand and start promoting our country instead of tearing it down.

Brian (in PA)

With only two comments re: Indiana and North Carolina, cnn for whatever reason decided to close comments, therefore, I am trying to respond to your comment (#2). All candidates were told by the Democratic Committee leaders, to pull their names from the ballots in Michigan why? because they (MI) were holding their primary ahead of their scheduled turn and as such their votes would not be counted. These were specific rules! Everyone else followed the rules except Sen. Clinton. Your comment has really opened my eyes as to why the folks in PA voted for Hillary, either you were all bamboozled by her, or you just don't do your homework. I cannot believe that Pennsylvanians really think as you do.

Oops! That's attributable.

Why is it, that everytime Hillary now says, "I went to ", the first thing that pops into my mind is:

Prove It!

Second thought is: WHO CARES!!!

Will be glad with November roles around and we don't have to listen to her daily lies, mis-speaks, and fabracations. Oops, I mean, the truth as she remembers it. Well, today anyway........

"Hi, I'm Hillary Clinton, and everyone else sucks!"

Yes, Hillary is not true to her word.! Hillary broke a verbal agreement with the DNC and will continue to break the DNC because she will not let Obama have his thirty something states voters count OUT HILLARY!

Big States ACCORDING to HILLARY matter more than the SMALL STATES and the media started the NEGATIVE SMEAR about the word bitter taken out of context!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

the more i see and hear about hillar,the more convinced i am that she is losing it bit by bit.
i am a psychologist,and i can read the signs.she has deluded herself into believing the stories she makes up in her head.
a possible sign of schizophrenia.

What exactly does Hillary have to show for her better record of fighting to rebuild the Hurricane-ravaged region? I was not aware of any significant progress attributatable to her. Can someone please enlighten me?

Well, did you hear accent change to southern drawl?

She is after all a southerner...wait, no, I mean she is after all a Pennsylvanian...wait, no, I mean she is from New York...wait, no, I mean she is from the South...wait, no, I mean she feels your pain because she is one of you – and to prove it her accent changes with every part of the country she gives her speeches.

I am not kidding...do a google search for hillarys accent changes. It is a hoot.

I am not sure if they are just that dumb and do not realize Americans are capable of using the internet and watching youtube.

Anyway, here she blows again...ya' all....twang....

Talks cheap.
But McCain doesn't offer action–unless he really intends to exert some. Big difference.

The Clintons have a long record of using people to get their aims accomplish. A long record of lying about something that did not happen in Bosnia. A long record spin, spin, spin and spins.

And if she uses the word "resilience" one more time, I swear, that seems to be the only vocabulary word she knows when talking about those who are less fortunate or who's lives were ruined by natural disaster. But, hey...whatever it takes...huh Hill? Is it me or is her husband looking a tad bit like an alcoholic...flushed out face, crazy politics...things that make you go hmmm...

"Barack the Vote" or vote the politically ill-prepared machine! "Ready on Day one [to obliterate your bank accounts!]"

Hillary is at the core of everything that is wrong with Washington. All she does, is bad mouth people.

"The difference between Senator McCain and myself is that I have a long record of fighting to rebuild the Gulf and to help the citizens who live along the Gulf who were left to their own devices by their government," Clinton said

She is making a good case to be McCain's VP

Clinton has "a long record of fighting to rebuild the Gulf..."???

Unless I'm out of my mind, Katrina was less than three years ago. Is that all it takes to establish a "long record"?

I applaud the things Clinton has done to help the New Orleans area, just as I applaud the things Barack Obama has done. But for Hillary to claim a "long record" is just nonsense. Or worse yet, just words. Just words.

Funny....I don't recall HRC visiting New Orleans after Katrina, another fabrication?

Hillary is just telling people what they want to hear again. McCain didn't say anything about tearing down the Ninth Ward in fact he stated the opposite. I don't like either of these candidates but I'm starting to wonder if Hillary is the worst of the two.

OBAMA 08

He should have told the truth and that is, just like the jobs we lost to out-sourcing and in-sourcing via N1B1 visas etc.,THE 9TH WARD will never be rebuilt.

Hillary is no different from McCain, she showed up in New Orleans and had her picture taken but I did not hear her speaking out against Bush's handling of the crisis. In fact, Hillary did not speak out even once against anything Bush proposed until she started running for President.

I'm an Obama supporter, but I'm just glad someone is going after McCain.

Now, she imagines she has been fighting for katrina victims. When? Where?

How?

Results? – Nothing.

HRC needs a vacation!

Time to give Hillary the time off to rest she so desparately needs so she suffers no more delusions about sniper fire, for whom she was named, her daughter at the twin towers on 9/11 …

Indiana and North Carolina, please do your part to help this poor woman.

Vote Obama!

He's a flip-flopper and she's a liar. What's the difference.

We need a change in Washington.

Obama 08

McCain said a lot of things I found stupid,like he did not attend haggard church for 20 years when asked about him,so he deflect a question by changing the subject to someone else.I think he will do the same,when America has a problem he will start talking about what is going on in Panama.We have a double standard in America and We need to bring change,if he cannot be blamed for what people around him say,Then why blame Obama who disowned those words as McCain did Haggard.And please do not say he was a member of the church for 20 years.You have not asked all catholics to leave thier church because of the pastors who they listened to for 20 years are child molesters,does that make them all child molesters.

I never heard a peep from mcshame when the disaster happened. Now you can't shut him up about issues he now needs votes on. What a sorry individual!

To the Clintonites: Yes Mrs. Clinton has done more to try to help the Gulf region recover. So what has she accomplished? NOTHING ... the situation remains dire in the regions most affected by the hurricane. So Clinton is pointing out her failures here in my opinion. That's her problem, she has screamed and hollered about most touchy subjects in America, but has accomplished very little in the way of correcting those problems. That's why an inspirational speaker like Obama can so easily steal so many of her past constituents. Even though he hasn't accomplished much either.

McCain looks like a dead man in a baseball hat.. Scary !!! Take a break, get a tan... and leave the politicking to the young. Your flip-flopping all over the issues is very distressing....

If a bunch of NO citizens want to live under sea level and live in an area that this can happen again, then let these citizens do as they wish.

It's their lives, and don't come crying to me if it happens again, because you know better.

I have absolutely no interest anymore in what that lying, cheating, dishonest monster of a woman has to say and I have no interest in what her horrid, lying, cheating, immoral, skanky, racist, dishonest, monster of a husband has to say either. If Obama does not get the nomination, I am writing him in anyway. Too bad McCain did not know a little more about the economy or I would vote for him over her in a minute. wow, what a horrid monster she is. If she somehow steals and cheats her way into the nomination and the presidency, I am just going to sit back and laugh at all of the people who voted for her as their lives and our economy go down the toilet.

Yes Hillary has a great record, I'm sure that she had to run from Ward to Ward amidst sniper fire and bombings. I't's going to be geat to have Hillary and her credentials as Chief Commander and her pocket advisor Bill.

I want to see that "long record of fighting to rebuild the gulf." Just because she says what any hack politician would say (that we need to help people in bad situations) doesn't mean she actually lifted a finger to do anything about it.

McCain is such a loser!! such a non-problem!!

ps: we honor your service to this country, but you cannot help us re-build after the damage your buddy Bush has done...

WE NEED A DEMOCRAT IN THE WHITE HOUSE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

DEMOCRATS 08!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

WHAT HAPPEN TO HILLARY'S BFF.

SHE SHOULD HAVE DUMPED HIM BEFORE

THE IRAQ WAR. THEY WILL KISS, MAKE UP &

VOTE TOGETHER FOR THE NEXT WAR AGAIN.

There she goes again... throwing yet another person under the bus just to make herself look better. Please Indiana end this by voting for Obama!

clinton is trying hard to look like the front runner...wow

please leave hill

Obama 08

The Headline should read: Clinton Backs McCain
They are one in the same ~ Both Republicans!

Flip, flop. Hillary hasn't done anything for us in Louisiana. None of them have done anything for Louisiana. Why? We vote Republican and the Republicans could give a hoot. The democrats like ole Hillary are come down here and act like they can go back to Washington and tell a few stories and generate some concern. We are American's after all. We care more about making sure that Iraq's infrastructure is in tact. And, we'll have to be there for a hundred years if that is what it takes.

Clinton went to New Orleans under sniper fire.

Come on McCain! You could care less about rebuilding New Orleans just like the rest of the Republican Party show'd with Bush's unbelievable lackluster response!
Hillary 08

I am so sick of Hillary.. In her mind, she can do any and everything better than anyone else in the whole wide world !!! What a TWIT !!... She is starting to look more and more like a devisive clown that is out to destroy the Democratic Party just so she can win. Its almost like she is bi-polar.. She scares me nodding her head like she does and it should scare the country to have someone like her in charge of this country let alone BIll running around in the Whitehouse with that CIGAR !!! EWWWW.....

OH WHAT A SHAME, HILLARY PARTING WITH

HER BEST FRIEND. THEY PROBABLY HAD DRINKS

TOGETHER THAT EVENING. & SHE WILL VOTE WITH

HIM WHEN THE BOTH GO BACK TO SENATE.

McCain is out of touch. Thank God Ron Paul is still in this thing......

Does anyone else notice how Clinton is just jumping of everything these days. Obama and McCain cant even pick there noses without Clinton making a big deal about it!!!! I didn't think she could make me hate her any more than I already did, but that is the only thing she is good at I guess, making people hate her.

Obama Richardson 2008

I am a repubican who has become energized to particpate in the process for the first time by Barack.

Unfortunately by their actions during this primary process, the Clintons have tarnished thier legacy and sadly HRC's amibition to become president will never materialize.

Hillary's trying to make everyone look bad.

Hillary has ticked me off so much during this campaign that even when she says something that i want to agree with, I find myself wanting to object just because she said it! I really didn't want to believe the naysayers at first but I really am starting to see just how our party is!!!

And where were the Clintons while all that was going on in New Orleans? Were they down there once? They were raking in $109 million over 5 years. Did they contribute any of that to help those people? Not that I heard.

More political opportunism from Clinton. She will say anything, and will use anybody or anything to further her own agenda.

Pack it up Hillary! You are broke and you are not going to win!
