Comments on: Clinton touts commander-in-chief credentials

Obama has been in elected office (Illinois State Senate and National Senate) for what 11 year? And Clinton has been in for 7 years? Being "ready" to "obliterate" the nation of Iran doesn't make her presidential, it removes my last objection to voting for "Bomb bomb bomb Iran" McCain. His "joke" seems tame in comparison. It is absolutely ridiculous to criticize Obama for wanting to have diplomatic relations with our "enemies." The argument usually boils down to "Obama JUST wants to talk," which is utter BS. He's always saying that he'd "keep all option on the table" including using force.

Of course Hillary will pull the trigger! That's the problem you idiots!
Who wants a President with her finger on the big button? And I believe her antaganistic personality is just what we "don't" need!

Silly Hillary is trying to climb a rope soaked with grease.
Some people just need to know when to call it quits!

Numbers don't lie !!!

A experienced person would know that.

"Senator Clinton is the only candidate in the running for president of the United States that has the wherewithal and the leadership ability to carry America back to its rightful place."

Really??? Well then, she should also be blame for approving the war, I mean, if she has "credentials", then last time I checked, her credentials gave us the wrong path in our country....

Hillary Clinton is not ready to meet the most basic standards of honesty, and therefore she is not ready to be Commander-in-Chief.

Parading image launderers, political office seeks and sycophants make the whole thing a water shed. Hillary Clintons' wasted years while in the white house and claiming for an advantage on experience, can not be redeemed now. It is just too too late . We need a total turn around and change for the betterment of the American people. We need something different from the usual and the answer is OBAMA.

HILLARY IS THE BEST CHANCE FOR THE DEMOCRATES TO TAKE BACK THE HOUSE. CLYBURN NEEDS TO GO AHEAD AND ENDORSE OBAMA. I AM SICKED AND TIREDS OF HIS RACIST COMMENTS ON PRESIDENT BILL CLINTON. OBAMA AND HIS WIFE ARE RACIST AND THEY HATE THIS COUNTRY.

DNC screwed up — Fri, 25 Apr 2008 17:00:48 +0000

The DNC, the democratic party elites, screwed up.

They fixed the election for Obama- then...
All the Kennedy, Kerry , Shriver endorsements advantaged Obama.
The Celebrity bandwagon led by Oprah, advantaged Obama.
The infatuated Media and their biased coverage and scrutiny of the candidates, advantaged Obama.
Flawed caucus format- advantaged Obama
Discounting Fl and Mi voters- advantaged Obama.

All that and he STILL just has a narrow, narrow lead.

Now the DNC will force the Superdelgates to go against the rules and vote for Obama- in hopes of salvaging this chaotic primary mess.

They do that, not because those are the rules- the rules are quite the contrary. They do it because they are afraid of alienating the newly registered democrats and the very vocal African American community.

They should worry more about alienating the REST of America- including 50% of the democrats who will not vote for Obama.

What Commander and Chief credentials, Oh thats right, Hillary used to be a fish slimer that landed under sniper fire after the hospital turned her down, right after the NAFTA vote and before the 109 million from talking to the Columbians.

OK, I understand now..........LOL

Well she also has experience voting in favor of invading Iraq. Over 4000 thousand American life's lost, tens of thousands wounded, and hundreds of thousands suffering mentally. I still do not have any accurate number (proper count was never available in any of the reportings) of Iraqi deaths, Orphans, Woundeds, widows, refugees and much more. Oh! what a democracy she voted for. What a kind of judgement she's proud of.

Vote Americans, vote for Hillary!!!

By: Larry Buchas

How can she be trusted as Commander in Chief. First she caved in to Bush with Iraq. Next she voted with the Lieberman bill threatening Iran. Then she lied about her Bosnia experience multiple times. Finally, she mentioned "obliterate" Iran if they attacked Israel.

That last comment can only encourage recruits to jihad. Hillary and McCain do not show the temperament necessary in dealing with foreign policy or our national security.

If Hillary has to pull the trigger, I truly hope she will use good judgment in doing so. Hillary has already admitted that she would attack Iran over Israel. Hillary would rule out any prospect of negotiations simply by threatening them with complete evisceration. When will the media look into Hillary’s claims of her Commander-in-Chief abilities minus her husband's? It would be nice to know how the Clinton administration's BRAC weighed on North Carolina’s economy. Hillary said it and We Already Knew It! Yes, We Can! OBAMA "08"

FUNNY, both Hillary and McCain "CLAIM" to have "all these decades of experience" - - My question is, then HOW COME THEY ARE STILL TRYING TO "SOLVE" THESE SAME PROBLEMS WE HAVE HAD, FOR ALL THAT TIME. With ALL their so called "experience", NOTHING HAS CHANGED ! May be, just may be, ALL THEIR "EXPERIENCE" IS OF THE WRONG KIND!!!!

Tubby the Tuba – it can also be said that Barry Obama is only where HE is because of Jerry Ryan's sex life. If that scandal hadn't broke when it did, Barack never would have won his first election.

Understand she recently read a book about Truman.

That definitely adds to her Presidential credentials.

Think her team is looking to put her up in a hotel once occupied by Roosevelt.

She is sooooooo experienced!

If he faces a problem that requires pulling the trigger, I am afraid that OBAMA would rather make a speach and try to arrange to talk to the enemy.

He wants to talk to many people.
Syria and Asad is the new addition to the list.

He has had adequate training over these past 20 years with

I do not think the coverage is fair, in Pen state Clinton was way ahead in the polls, Obama cut her lead to in half, he did a good job, as for experience, being First Lady does not give you experience, or did she make the decisions for her husband, headline when she wins, is she beat him bad, when he wins it is like he was suppose to, the polls said he would,

Frank & Tubby from texas I can not agree with you more! Indiana, please for the sake of America see this thing as it really is. Do not for the sake of the people vote HRC into office because she's white. Of course as Frank says, she will have all of Bill's puppets on her strings to say whatever he wants them to say. I guarantee you he's promised them something in return. Bill will do a nother 4 to 8 years again in the white house if we do not stop them! Listen Barack is trully the only nominee who has not thrown the race card on the table. America Obama does not care what color you are. He recognizes that ALL Americans are suffering. Indiana for the sake of America END this primary. God bless each and every one of you.

I don't want a president that is already saying that she will obliterate Iran, with no concern for the innocent people there. I don't want McSame in office singing BOMB BOMB BOMB IRAN. I want a president that will not have us fight in the wrong country, that is not trigger happy and that does not want to kill thousands of people as in Hiroshima. The answer is clear:

....."Senator Clinton is the only candidate in the running for president of the United States that has the wherewithal and the leadership ability to carry America back to its rightful place."........ If you consider the fact that she is going to hack the military to pieces in order for her to raise money, like her husband did, then you will end up with the problems of a thinned military like we have now. Thats right, the military is stretched thin now because of her husbands destruction of our forces in his term. "I'll debate anytime anywhere. Look, I'm so sleep-deprived it doesn't matter, anytime, anywhere I'll show up" I cant believe she said this in front of military members. You don't know sleep deprivation like the military knows it. She cannot even mobilize the NY Gaurd, how can she tout C-in-C credentials, she doesnt have any?

Can we please stop with these blatant lies and "misspeaks?" Her "commander -in-chief" credentials are zero, zilch, nada, nyet – get it? Like the tooth fairy, Santa and the Easter bunny, they do not exist and claiming they do, does not make them so.

By the way, that was a great comment the other day, Hill – nuke Iran. Great, positively brilliant and what a special way to defuse that situation. After 8 years of Bush and the Iraq/Afghanistan wars, I know I join all other Americans in saying, let's start a new war up with Iran.

Yeah, you're ready from day one – keep that lie going, will you?

What credentials? Having a sham of a marrige to the President is not the credentials of a Commander-in-Chief. If it was there should have been about 40 previous First-Ladies who should have been president already.

Nice try.

I have had friend in the military (I am a military retiree) who worked in the Whitehouse during the Clinton Administration and said they were treated like dirt by Hillary, when she actually paid attention to them. Most of the time she ignored them. I also know about 50 current military member will will get out or retire before they serve under another Clinton Whitehouse.

Now that is called motivating the troops.

This is one scary thought: "If she has to pull the trigger... she'll pull it,"
Someone needs to tell these Generals that problem with Clinton is that she is liable to pull the trigger too soon like she did in Iraq.
And now all this talk about obliterating Iran with nukes...
Something is not right there...
