Bill Clinton has disappointed me to the extent that I have taken his and Hillary's books off my coffee table, put them in a drawer, and when he comes on tv- I TURN it because I was such a strong supporter of this man and his family.
He has destroyed the "Clinton Legacy" at this house! Sad.

Clyburn, I agree with you one hundred percent, please go ahead and endorse Obama so we can get on with the nomination of the first
black africian american president.

thank you

You guys should be a little fair. It is not easy to be on the other side.

RIGHT ON!!! Finally, someone admitting that the Clintons are attempting to ensure that Obama does not win–because they know they can't. The Clintons are the worse possible thing for the Democratic party–and the Republicans are laughing all the way to November!!! It is either Obama, or McCain for me.

I don't see nothing wrong with what both of the Clintons said. There was nothing racist about what they said. Everyone just wants to silence critics of Obama….treat him like a baby. If he can't take criticism, he doesn't need to be running for Prez. Why are people handling him with kid gloves? I'm so sick of this. Ain't nobody treating Hillary with kid gloves. They are saying anything and everything they want about her. The Obama campaing has said some very nasty things about Hillary. Obama wants to dish it out but can't take it. Enuff with that mess.

Finally, someone in a high level position has shown the courage to stand up to the Clintons.

What Hillary and Bill continue to do is fan the flames of division in our country, seemingly in close coordination with the RNC and Senator McCain. In fact, it is increasingly seems there is a McCain-Clinton coalition at this point in the campaign.

We can only hope that voters will be able to sort through all the garbage being flung by the Clintons and McCain and that they will make choices in the remaining primaries and in the general election that are in the interest of mainstream America – and do not continue to reward the special interests that establishment politicians like Clinton and McCain represent. But, then again, past history shows that many Americans will continue to vote against their own best interests. Maybe, just maybe, if a few leaders such as Representative Clyburn stand up and speak out more, voters will also develop the insight and courage to stand up for themselves against the Clintons and McCain.

YOU say to-mayto and I say to-mato! The democrats have lost already. The candidates are too weak to win. Maybe just maybe you will be albe to find a moderate governor who will run in 2012!

everyone is entitled to their own opinion. african Americans have the right to speak out about racism. It was thier race which had to endure segregation. why does color matter in america, because americans are racists! I'm totally for Obama because he is fresh, new, motivating. How mature it is to attack some one because of their personal afiliations. Our current president was in the military and went AWOL, our country is in crisis and the best you can do is call african americans racists. Who gives a hoot what color a candidate is as long as they can turn this ship around. i voted for Bill Clinton and I have no anymosity toward him at all. He is just standing up for his wife and doing what he feels is right. Bill is white and i'm black. I still admire bill clinton, but Hillary is a different story. She is priviledge, never really got her hands dirty and never did a thing for the black community and is a liar!!!! We need to Unite and not divide. African americans are very strong people with a rich history. No matter what they have tried to do to us we still stand, we are human, intelligent and spiritual. We look to our churches for strength and serenty. Our churches do not preach hate at all. we preach love and unity. Maybe you should get out of yourself and go to a Black church and see for yourself.

It is ABSOLUTELY amazing to me how many black leaders act as if they have taken a poll and speak for 100% of their community. The Clintons have worked tirelessly for the black community and now these supposed "leaders" turn their back on them because one of their own is in the game. It's sickening to me. The Clintons have not played the race card: it is the Obama camp that has done that, and they have done it for pure political gain. And not all blacks are falling for it and are going to vote for Obama JUST because he is black. That to me is racist. I am sick of this ridiculous double standard.

"African Americans are the most racist group in America today……"

Yeah, not like us white folk at all.

What time's the Klan rally, Sparky?

Everyone knows Clinton is the best

That is why the DNC had to fix the primary for Obama.

That is why there is all the pro-Obama and anti-Hillary media bias.

That is why they had to disenfranchise the voters of Fl and Mi to give Obama the edge.

That is the reason for all the nasty Hillary-hating blogs- to create the opposite illusion.

With all the disadvantages- Obama was able to get just the NARROWEST of leads.

As much as we the human race tries to deny it, we all are racist in some way. Some more than others. Why else would we resort to this segregationist attitude of many of us using race as the deciding factor of the presidential campaign? In some instances the human race sickens me! Carry on with your bickering people.

.. end to the dynasty is coming.

Stop playing the RACE CARD….. 95% of Black has voted for Obama while only 5% of them voted for Clinton… Why? Because Clinton is WOMEN…. The truth is because she is WHITE. Shut up Clyburn! Your people (BLACK) are the most racist group. We are Asian American in CALIFORNIA! We believe that OBAMA can't win in general election because he will lose in CALIFORNIA, FLORIDA, OHIO, New york, New Jersey, Pennsylvania… all big states. We are tired of OBAMA… Has he done anything for country beside making Black People hating white people…. We are democrats but we will vote for Mc Cain if Clinton does not win primary…

Dear Xanadude,

It seems to me that your comment reveals your own racism. Tsk, tsk!

BG

Furthermore, this great country was built on the backs, blood, sweat and tears of black people. Black people fought in wars to help build this great nation only to still be treated as less than nothing during and after serving this country. Black people earned the right to be called African-AMERICAN! How dare you act as if we don't have a reason to feel slighted? How dare you?

You're probably one of those people who still think that we all should still be enslaved. It wouldn't surprise me one bit.

They just now noticed he was acting bizarre? What about his whole presidency?

What would about your pastor bevahior.

I disagree with Bill Clinton's comments, too…but I don't think his comments are "bizarre".

We should be careful not to encourage divisive forces to divide our strength. All of us, black and white would be equally hurt if we carry on war abroad hurting our children and our money, without paying attention to our benefit.

Please….say "no" to people who voted for war.

what do you need to do to get a comment through moderation?

Wow, sorry you feel that way…..

There the Obamabots go again, playing the race card. They did this in South Carolina. President Clinton says that Obama's Iraq story is a fairytale and somehow that's a rascist comment. So, what do you do now that you get thumped in PA and need to win NC? Play that card again. Obama and his supporters should be ashamed of themselves.

THE CLINTONS ARE TRYING TO DAMAGE OBAMA'S IMAGE JUST BECAUSE THEY WANT TO WIN. THAT DOES NOT SHOW ANYTHING BUT DISTRUST.

BILL, A WORD FOR YOU, WHEN YOU WENT THROUGH YOUR BAGGAGE, AMERICA MADE IT EASY FOR YOU. OBAMA HAS NOT BEEN NEAR ANYTHING YOU HAVE DONE. YOU CAN'T DAMAGE HIM

RUN A RESPECTABLE CAMPAIGN IF YOU BELIEVE IN HONESTY!

Why is it racist for Bill Clinton to say "Well, Jesse Jackson won South Carolina", but not for John McCain to say, "Well, Pat Robertson won Iowa" (which is DID say when Huckabee won Iowan)? They were just pointing out that that particular state did not have a good track record of picking the nominee (which was true in both cases). And how is it NOT racist for 90+ percent African Americans to back Obama instead of Clinton because he's black, but it IS racist for people to back Clinton because she's white?? I'm a life-long Democrat and have voted for every Dem since McGovern, but I'm SO sick of the Obama campaign accusing every person who criticizes him (even if it's about his experience or lack of a record) as 'racist' that I will vote for McCain if Obama is the nominee.

Clinton's will divide until they conquer the White House for the History books.
Mark my word on it!
You're watching it from the front row, people!

Many Americans of all hues think the former president is acting bizarre. I can't believe the lies and 'mispeaks' when there is always tape to prove the lie.

I support Sen. Clinton, but I f I didn't know better I would swear Bill Clinton was on the Obama payroll. Bill really needs to have a "Honey Do, and A Honey Don't" List.

We all know that is what the Clintons are trying to do. They are trying every dirty tricks in the book to discredit OBAMA. I am so ashame of the behavior of the Clintons.

It's obvious the Clinton's are losing & their starting to play the game to hurt the others campaign. Same ole' Bill…nothing ever changes….
So be smart & vote Obama.

Clyburn's bizarre-look at him! ewwh!! scary looking!

Billary and her husband are portraying themself as desperate
politicans. Their true colors are showing.

Serves the Black community right for "going up to the bar" for a sleeze bucket called Bill Clinton.

The Clintons only have alligiance to themselves. When are Americans going to learn this?

In desparation people would do out-of-character things!

"African Americans are the most racist group in America today" – wow, what rock have you been living under for the past few decades!

That ignorant comment aside, Bill and Hillary clinton have only themselves to blame for the loss of the African American support that they have enjoyed for the past 20-30 years. While bill can attempt to claim that Barack played the race card, it was Bill and hillary's own uniformed comments that led to so many people, Black and White, being turned off and offended.

On the other hand, aren't African Americans grateful for the economic properity they had during the Bill Clinton years? Can't they show gratitude for that instead of twisting his words and actions to support Obama? It's not as if Hillary lags behind Obama in credentials to be President !

A vote for me is a vote for McCain!!!!!

Rep. Clyburn, I understand your concern and strongly believe you are not playing the race card. However, you know Bill Clinton is not playing the race card, under his tour of duty as he appointed more blacks, hispanics, and women into his staff then any other President. Bill Clinton is just standing by his wife like any other spouse will do.
Senator Clinton needs your vote and depending on the outcome in Indiana I'm sure you will make the right decision.

Irving

These Obama supporters are nuts, can you imagine if Obama
looses the nomination.

Be Ready For Riots In The Streets.

Clinton has surely mispoke, but these people are carrying this
alittle too far.

I certainly don't Clyburn critizing Rev. Wright.

sender ; Xanadude of Velen is the most typical idiot ever noticed on earth. have you traced your origin and noticed how you generation came to essitance?

Please stupid Xanadude of Velen, dont missunderstand what the good point responsible people are trying to figure out. You sound pure raciest even in blood

Bill said Obama used the race card on him. And, he said he didn't regret saying it. But, wagging his finger at a reporter, he said he never said it. We need proof of his truthfulness. Where's that blue dress?

I guess this guy thinks the GOP will just play nice this fall? Clinton's remarks are the least of Obama's worries.

The African Americans have already turned their backs on Clinton. They will be missed but the Clintons now have the support of an even larger minority Latinos, or Chicanos like myself. The African Americans are the ones who are making this racial that is why they vote over 90% for Obama despite the fact that he is less qualified to be president than Hillary.

I suppose John King is a racist for describing the demographics of all the states everytime we have a primary. Bill Clinton isn't a racist and I'm offended by how someone like him could be accused of being a racist.

Further proof that Clinton would have absolutely zero chance of defeating McCain in a general election.

There is absolutely no way a Democrat could win a general election without the African American vote.

If the Superdelegates were to overturn the Pledged Delegates, we could be in for an absolute nightmare situation.

The Democratic party could be destroyed for years to come.

Clinton: it was the Obama campaign that "played the race card on me."

Clinton later told a reporter he did not say the Obama campaign had played the race card.

Unbelievable! Looks like neither Clinton has much of a problem telling outright, blatant, the-public-record-completely-contradicts-what-I-just-said lies. Let's put these people back in the White House!

hey…Xanadude of Velen… you are a simple human being!!!!

Xanadude, how is Clyburn being racist? Bill Clinton is acting bizarre… and even a Hillary supporter should be able to see that. Bill Clinton's comments make no sense.

I am personally fed up with both sides pulling out the race/gender cards.

One things for sure she can't win with out a good portion of his supporters and he can't win without hers.

So face the facts look at the grey area of why people are voting the way they are….close your eyes and make a true decision. This is the silly season for real.

Actually, Clyburn has been close to endorsing Senator Clinton several times. For those who don't know him, he is a very good congressman and doesn't just pop off without good reason.

We are not racist. We would love to love without hesitation. However, as a ethnic group, we have learned to be skiddish about getting a fair equitable shake.

i find it very interesting that you have written this article but have not allowed the ability to e mail it to others. was this on purpose?s

Its about time someone spoke up, be it black or white the actions of the Clintons are wrong. They ack as if they are intitled to the White House, we owe them nothing. Billary please go away!

Hey, Xanadude. I think you'll probably find the 'most racist' in the mirror.

I have to agree. he's right.
Bill /Hillary please go away!!!

That is a lie. Bill Clinton did not do anything wrong. You guys betrayed the Clintons.

Who cares what Clyburn has to say,He is irrelevant to say the least.

Xandadude… wow.

It's comments like this that really show your true colors…

Bill Clinton never used to make mistakes, all of the sudden Bill is stumbling mumblig tumbling?

There is something very wrong with Bill, I think Hillary is driving him nuts.

Is this his way of trying to bring Obama back to popularity, or is this just another racial dig at the Clintons?

Obama is already getting almost all of the black vote, who cares what this guy is saying, Obama has been playing the race card for some time. He gave a speech on race. How is that not playing the race card?

Cilinton 's behavior realy is bizarre. If she blocks Obama I will not vote to democrat again.

Yes. Bill is extremely bizarre on the whole thing. I hope he do some good thing to save himself.

xan dont be fooled by the media this guy is right about the clintons

Just endorse Obama an d quit with the race card before every large AA vote.

It seems that Bill doesn't want his wife to be president…he seems to be doing alot to derail the cause. Go Bill!!!

Xanadude – and, how exactly does that address the issues or concerns at hand? Bill Clinton has behaved in a manner that is highly inappropriate and continues to do so.

I believe all Americans have some form of racism within them, and unfortunately your hatred is spreading throughout the world.

whatever! people need to stop playing the race card, whatever ethnicity they belong to!

Here many feel that the Clintons following a dog in the manger policy.
If we can not get the nomination and go to White House, let the other guy be blooded enough so that he also can not go there.

Velen…..Right on!

Xanadude:

I agree 100%. Yes, they are and the only way to diminish that in their part is to bring in something that you and I was not a part of and shout a lot to confuse everyone else about their intentions.

The Clintons are like moldy bread … time to toss them out.

I agree, either Bill is off his rocker or it is planned craziness. Please step-up and endorse Obama and silence the clintons.

To Xanadude of Velen:

Your comment proves you're stuck in "stupid"!!

Keep on talking Bill.. LOLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL!!

Give me a break…….. You cant be serious look at America's History. I resnt that comment and it shouldn't be posted..

Well said!

i think the clintons are bitter,and clinging to their guns,so they can shoot themselves in the foot.

The DNC chairman Howard Dean has asked the so called superdelagates to decide Now, I can understand the point congressman Clyburn is trying to makey, but I wonder why he hasn't endorsed Barack Obama? We all know Bill Clinton has been trying to play the race card since day one, that's old politics and that's why the Clintons won't be nominated no matter how hard they try.
Go Obama!!!!!!!

It looks like Clintons and some other politicians preach equality but it's only talk. When they need to walk their own talk they get scared and step back into their deeply engraved inside them internal racist.
I'm not black but I'm not white either, I'm a Jew.

The Clintons are running a "if I can't have it, no-one will" campaign.

Keep on talking Bill!! LOLLLLLLLLLLLLLL

OBAMA 08

Why is it that when AA overwhelmingly vote for Obama it's ok, but when 50-60% of whites vote for Clinton it's seen as racist? This double standard isn't working anymore. Let's talk about the NV debate where there were stacks of papers claiming Obama's campaign was playing the race card.

Xanadude it is comments like yours that keep this nation divided in the first place.

Bill Clinton's behavior Bizarre? What else is new.

What is the difference between Bill Clinton saying that Obama played the race card on him and Geraldine Ferraro saying that Obama attacked her because she was white?

I'm sorry, who's playing the race card? How much of this garbage have you heard coming from Obama's camp?

I think that Congressman is correct. I know some African Americans who voted for HRC during the primary and now they are starting to say that if she gets the nomination they will vote for her. I think if she gets the nomination she is going to have a serious problem with African Americans.

Clyburn, make a choice already

Why don't the Clintons speak out about their calling the Rev. Jeremiah Wright to the WHite House to counsel them during the impeachment.

Guess we know of what race Xanadude of Velen is…

Wow CNN, You guys screen alot of comments but not that Of Xanadude of Velen. This person is the reason why we have race problems in America.

Why don't you just endorse Obama Clyburn instead of making idiotic statements. You talk like another Rev. Wright which does not help him if he is the nominee.

Here goes the race card being played again. I am really tired of this. This is just a way to get African-Americans in NC to vote for Obama and not Hillary. What a pathetic attempt.

So much drama in this race about things other that the IMPORTANT ISSUES! I just wish we could all get past the created drama by the media and move on with the issues at hand.

GAS
FOOD COSTS
WARS
ECONOMY

Is any Clinton capable of telling the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth?

Those of us with a discerning mind know that is not possible so we are no longer surprised by when Willy or Hilly behave bizarrely or make extravagant claims. Still, we thank Representative Clyburn for stating it so succinctly.

P.S. I am just another typical white voter.

The fact is, the Obama campaign has been very clever in demonizing Bill Clinton. Clinton did a lot of good for the black community before he was in office and after he was in office. It's unfortunate that leaders like Clyburn would rather NOT give Bill Clinton ANY benefit of doubt (and clearly do so for his own political gain). Politics! Ain't it grand

Bizzare behavior, you are kidding, I thought was normal for the Clinton campaign, well ok atleast Bill Clinton. He says one thing on one day and denies it the next, that too is SOP. I think Bill is having more senior moments than John McCain, I feel sad about that.

Why did you never stand up in defense of Senator Obama, Senator Clinton? Why instead did you use this controversy for your own political gain?

What if the shoe were on the other foot? Senator Obama would NEVER have sunk that low!

I am very disappointed in both Clintons.

Bill Clinton WANTS the divide!! You all are walking right into his game! Talk about a wolf in sheeps clothing!

Yes, yes, Pleaseeeeee Rep. Clyburn, endorse Senator Obama – Please before the Clintons completey ruin him with their smear campaign. She is a snake.

Joanne PA

Bill probably is not a racist. But he does believe everything is about him (along with his wife–a liar) and thus thinks whatever needs to be done to serve his purpose is okay. The Clintons have clearly demonstrated that they will do anything to be first.

And he lied again that he never said it.

I think Bill is out to sink Hillary. Deep down he does not want to be First Gentleman. He wants to retain the title of ex-president, not First man…

Bill Clinton, a racist–no. Bill Clinton, an opportunist–yes. And, an opportunist of the worst kind. This Clinton "strength" of never quitting; is not a strength in my book. It's a power grab the likes of which I don't think any of us have seen in our lifetimes. The Clintons are ripping the democratic party apart for their own gains. I have completely lost any respect I ever had for either one of them.

Wow, only one comment so far. I'm second in line!!! I'm an Obama guy but I just think Clinton was saying that lots of African American voters will vote for Obama because they relate to him. Is that a bad thing? No. There are plenty of African American voters nationwide who are not voting for Obama.

The lions have begun taking off their sheep skin coats! Wait and see who are the Clintons.

I agree with the Congressman, the Clinton's has forgotten who stood with him doing his unfaithful times.

Clyburn is right. Who was there when Clinton was looking for supporters? Who was the first to be thrown under the bus? Compared to Obama's loyalty to those around him and support him, I would say that the Clintons are a self-serving brood. They're not racists, I agree. They are just greedy and egotisical. We already have those qualities in our president and it ain't working out.

why isnt the media covering the reason Mr. and Mrs. Clinton had to go to Los Angeles today? google Paul v Clinton

And while you're at it Rep. Clyburn, please get Al Gore and John Edwards to endorse Obama too.

Has anyone noticed that Hillary and Bill have southern twang in the way they talk? Once again will do anything for a vote! Rep.Clyburn endorse Obama!

Blame who you want Bill but race had not been mentioned until it came from your mouth in SC. Goes to show the Clinton team will pander to any individual or demographic to promote their cause and dump at the drop of a hat!

He's doing the same thing he did in South Carolina, you are playing the race card and it's not the Clintons. I can see right through what he's trying to do.

I really hope the American people arent that stupid not to see it.

HILLARY 08

Can we just talk about the issues such as the Economy, Social Security, Global warming, etc? Is it that hard?

I think Bill does not want to have Hillary become president.

Can we just talk about the issues such as the Economy, Global warming, Social Security, and etc. Is it that hard? All these major media markets are giving the people a bunch of fluff instead of the issues that matter.

Its as usual, Blackman supports black. No wisdom is needed

Is Bill Clinton serious?!! How can he deny his "race card" comment when it is on the record?!!!! It would be laughable but this is serious. Let's get behind Obama, the frontrunner, right now and show him the respect he deserves.

please!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You Clinton Haters are so ridiculous. All you do is complain and wine.

I do not believe Bill or Hillary are raciest. I believe they are racial opportunists. Meaning, they know the "buzz words and phrases" that will ignite a raciest person to action. Then in the end the Clinton’s benefit!

Please endorse Obama and stop this madness

From what I read Clinton helped the Blacks termendously throughout the years. Doesn't that count for anything?

Congressman Clyburn as long as we elect by the electoral college you need to convince your state to vote democratic in the fall…your state voted publican the last 4 times…including the two that clinton won so as a congressman from south carolina your views are irrelevant to this fall

Why don't you post my comment??

This is just another example of how the Clintons will do anything to get in office. Even if that means turning on those who once supported you.

We all know who the winner is in this race; and it certainly isn't the racist Clintons. Wake up folks, do you want a new beginning or the same old politics in Washington. I believe Barack Obama came along just in time to save this country.

O8AMA

i'm so sick of all the Clinton lies, i can't stand it any more. Bill Clinton started this race issue, and he is to blame for it. Obama deserves to be nominated as he is ahead in delegates and popular vote, but i believe with all my heart, that won't happen. I putnothing past the Clintons. They are corrupt, liars and will stop at nothing to win.

Why can't he just endorse senator Obama?

You spoke so well on this…please keep the race card out of this campaign by speaking often if things get out of hand.

Al Gore won SC in the Primary in 2000 and John Edwards won in 2004. Why didnt Bill mention those two candidates?

I have lost all respect for the Clinton's whom I have voted for
and supported. Obama is a more honorable candidate, more
intelligent candidate trying to rise above the dirt of Clinton's "Carl Rove" playbook.

From what I have heard, I think that Obama and media are playing a race card against Hillary. It seems to me that Obama’s strategy is to use a race card to destroy Hillary.

Florida for Hillary.

I live in SC
I am an African American
I won't vote for Rep. Clyburn in 2010

I want the media and party officials to LEAVE HILL AND BILL ALONE!

We Dems need to unit behind Sen. Obama and move fwd with a strong message of change. Lets stop the political games and self-destruction.

I think Bill is not as smooth and slick as he use to be.

He needs to concern himself more with Rev. Wright now than the
former President Bill Clinton over the race factor.

The Clintons will trample over anyone in their way including "friends" and people that stood by them in tough times. The Clintons are power hungry self-loving individuals on the rampage. They will do whatever they want whenever they want for their own personal gain. Don't believe for a minute that Hillary and Bill are looking out for you.

Thank-you, glad to see politicians standing up for something. The Clintons are going to say and do anything to win, and it is sad to see so many people ignore their dis-honesty because of race. I am a white man
that is sick and tired of these racial politics that divide us, vote Obama to finally put an end to divisive, dishonest, rich politicians who play us all for fools.

Can zebras change their stripes ?? Neither can the Clintons who are too obsessed with power to call it quits. Hillary has a conviction that the presidency is her birthright. Her relentless , ruthless attacks on her youthful , intelligent and decent rival are unforgiveable.

As a white guy from Indiana, I believe Bill Clinton has said things and acted in ways that raise many questions. He got about 90% of the black votes when he ran for office, and this is how he pays them back? Wow!

Clearly shows once again the Clintons will stoop to any method to win–no matter who it hurts in the process. I once believed the Clintons were do-gooders, and I think to some point they are, but I think it all is part of a hidden agenda, and Hilary & Bill will do anything to once again reclaim power. A bit scary, no?

The Clintons never like African American they pretends for their own political gains. Shame on them.

Put Rev Wright behind you Dave of NC

The entire Obama campaign is about playing the race card. I can't stand all of the hypocrisy involved in the Obama camp.

African Americans are feeling a bit hurt. And you need that vote to win in November.

bill and the wife should know that, americans are beginning to get tired of their filty lies, is high time they pack their belongings and get back to new york.

charles

Clinton's behavior is not nearly as bizarre as the behavior of Obama supporters.

I can't believe many of us are buying into all the lies from Bill and Hillary Clinton. It is ashamed to see Hillary is resorting to using false accusations, innuendos and scare tactics to persuade the American people. I will vote for any candidate other than Hillary!

Mr. Clyburn will you take the lead and endorse Obama for the 2008 election. It time for a change in American and it starts at the White House.

Obama 08

Look, he points his finger also!!

Rep. Clyburn, is exactly correct in what he is saying. Please endorse Senator Obama for president. All the superdelgates shoud do the same. No one owes the Clintons!

Bill Clinton is a victim of his own ego. He speaks just to hear himself talk..
Lets get this over with in NC and Indiana. It's time to put the Clintons egos to sleep.

The Clinton's scorched earth strategy makes me sick. They should be ashamed of their behavior in the last two months. Have they considered what their future is going to look like when they eventually lose? They're losing more and more credibility and respect by the day.

So what.

God punish the clintons

I think the true Bill Clinton is comning out it is so sadden for our pary shame on you Bill shame on you Bill

No need to put in words what is clear to everyone to see. Poor Bill. Sad, really.

I second DaveNC's plea. This is no time to act as if you're sitting on a fence when you've actually put your feet on the ground.

Mr. Clyburn and all the remaining African American super delegate needs to send the "Clinton's" a message by endorsing OBama for president…this will shut the clinton down and send them back to New York.

I for one, as an AA…..have not, did not and do not think highly of the Clintons…..

Sounds to me thats what he is trying to say. He is setting the stage for his announcement. Wont be so shocked.

It's so sad that Bill Clinton had not come out against the negative ads in NC. I fear this behavior is harming the Democrats. He once was a great leader.

Go Obama go!!!!

Bill Clinton is demonstrating his chameleon-like character. He has forgotten what Clyburn has said and has turned his back on the Balck community.

Bill Clinton is the expert on twisted words and context………. Mr. that depends on what the definition of "is" is!!!!!

I used to be a Clinton fan. but after the way both Clintons have used the race card, I would never vote for either of them. that is old politics: to say anything to be elected, to use a group of people for your own advantage and then stab them in the back. Hillary thinks she should be president because of the past. we need change. we need something better. GO OBAMA!

Congressman Clyburn makes a good case. It seems the Clinton's have forgotten the entire party, if not the country, with their negativity and "politics". I think they need to get out of the kitchen and work to heal the hurt we are all feeling. It is time to support the winner, Barack Obama.

The Clintons says that Obama can not win in November without her base. However, Clinton can win without Obama's base. If Clinton can not win the African American vote, she will lose in November. Do the Clintons think that say anything and do anything and African Americans will support them?

Obama '08

The more I watch your process and the way people believe the Clintons the more I like our process for elections in Canada. Really Monica Lewenski, Hillary's failed Health Care, Hillary's Whitewater fiasco and lies, Hillary's misspoken words, Hillary and Bill should exit satge left.

Bizarre is absolutely correct.

No one asks if Clinton can get the black vote but people ask Obama if he can get the white vote. Doesn't make sense to me. We clearly have a divide in the democratic party thats going to take some months to get it together. we need to end this race so that the healing can begin.

William Clinton is showing he is a racist down deep.

I think Clyburn hasn't really added anything to the discussion – it is like beating a dead horse. At this point the man is just trying to stay in the news. I am over it. How come the open letter from Maya Angelou isn't part of the ticker?

Clyburn's scurrilous behavior is what is bizarre. Once again a democrat relying on GOP talking points to smear the Clintons. Clyburn should be ashamed. HIs feigned neutrality is an insult, he is and always has been an Obama shill. His once lofty reputation is now in tatters as are those of many people who have thrown their weight behind the Obama campaign which will go down in history as having destroyed the Democratic party.

More Clinton cunning. More Clinton guile.

I said it before I will say much stronger now that I will never vote for Clinton, and I will not stay home. Even If I'm sick and as long as my last strenght permits, I will go out and vote for McCain if Hillary is nominated. She is evil! She has destroyed the democratic party to the point it would take more than eight years to repare the domage she caused. We will not get together, we will not get united, Hillary needs to go. I stood by Bill Clinton before, I used to be close to him, it used to be…

Let's not do a 360 on this story. The objective is to potray Mr Obama as a victim. People need to quit making excuse after excuse for voting for him instead of Senator Clinton.

We are proud of you, Senator Clinton

There must be another contest in the Carolina's. Why is it racist to say Obama gets the vote of more African Americans because of his background? It is certainly true that Clinton is more likely to get the vote of women, or McCain from veterans. There is more to an honest discussion of race than acknowledging white racism.

Thanks for calling a spade a spade Congressman

Isnt Clyburn's response on this a little too late…this happen about 7 months ago. So why is this news CNN?

Yes it is correct Mr Clyburn thats exactly what the Clintons are doing trying to damage Obama to the point where he cannot be elected!

DaveNC, I am with you. If all of the super delegates made known their support for whomever, it would go a long way towards ending what is becoming a never ending nightmare. When we democrats finally wake-up John McCain will be taking the oath of office. Sigh!!

I supported Bill Clinton during his scandal days but I have come see him and his wife for what they are. They are just like their Republican enemies. Both have no respect for truth. They don't care if the Democrats lose. They only care about their control of power.

We don't have to go a long way, sorry Bill. You already went the distance with your absurd and obvious comments throughout this campaign.

Thanks for being real, at least….

No come on and endorse Obama . If you and 40 other fence sitters endorse by the middle of next week Obama can win Both states and knock her out .

Obama 08 !!!

YES WE CAN !!!

The Clintons are both like that.

In Bill's defense (am I dellusional too?), after heart surgery like he has had, many people start doing and saying things which are "out of character." Unfortunately for him, Bill has demonstrated time and again that he has no character, so who knows what's really going on?!

Bill is not going to quite insulting the African American people until Hillary and Bill steal this election. If everyone pulls the plug from Hillary they will go away.

CNN immediatley posts positive Obama remarks……..is Obama paying for thier services?

hey what a statement that is so true!!!!!!! go away bill and hill back to your fetal position.

(The preceding satire was brought to you by a voter who can't stand any of the so-called brainless frontrunners and encourages you to vote third party to send them a message that they all stink.)

I totally agree — I used to love Bill Clinton. Now I just think he's crazy! I think he wants to get back in the White House so bad he (and his wife) will do anything to get there. The proof is in their actions for sure.

OBAMA MAMA!!

Maybe he's just not getting any lately. Neither have I, for years lately. C'mon, Bill call me and we can hook up for some fun times!

Bill has seriously damaged his legacy in his thirst for gaining more power.He began the sellout to China,Nafta,and millions of our jobs to India at our expense.Dont forget it was a Republican Congress and the contract to screw America that he went along with though.He was just being a good Republican.

I have been saying for sometime that Clinton is trying to position herself for 2012. In the process she is trying ensure that Obama will not win in November. Why else would she continue on with her campaign when she know that she is not going to win.

lol. Bill Clinton is definitely acting bizarre. He scares me nowadays.

Its only Bizzare if you take the attacks on Obama personally. Too many people are trying to live vicariously through Obama's campaign, and as such are taking attacks against Obama as attacks against themselves.

Thats what is emerging as the real problem with Obama. It is becoming/has become a cult of personality, Obama is seen as some sort of sacred prophet and deified being. His followers protect him as such, never questioning his policies or beliefs because to do so is heresay against the scripture of 'change'.

And that frankly scares me.

Thanks Mr. Clyburn, that needed to be said

I feel bad for the Clintons. To paint someone as a racist is a horrible thing – no one deserves that, especially not Bill.

ANOTHER AFRICAN AMERICAN PLAYING THE RACE CARD. SUPPORT OBAMA LIKE 95% OF AFRICAN AMERICAN DO OR SHOW SOME BALLS AND SUPPRT HILLAY

Whoop de do!! You got your feelings hurt. Get over it. This is a race issue and everyone knows it. Face the facts

Rep. Clyburn, please go ahead and endorse Senator Obama so we can put this behind us. Please!

Well……it's true!! The Clintons will do anything, use anybody, any race, to further their own prosperity. People are used like "throw away" towels by the clintons. The real "them" is and has been out there, it's just taken a while for some people to realize it as they have been promised many things by the clintons.

I do not understand how people can ignore the fact that Bill Clinton disgraced his Presidency and the country with his affairs while President.
Hillary seems to have turned a blind eye to the fact, which makes me wonder how far will she go to maintain the power she has as his wife.
She and Bill continue to fabricate stories and degrade Obama and McCain, while touting the "holier-then-thou" attitude.
Surely to put them back in the White House is a dishonor!!

Bill Clinton should keep out of this. He has had his chance to be president and now it is someone else's turn.

Obama 08!!!

The Clintons are ruthless. They are doing all possible to destroy Obama. No lie is beneath them. If Hillary can't have the Democratic nomination, nobody can.

I think it is so sad the way our former President has responded to the African American community. I get the feeling that he never really cared about the African American community. From here on, he will be seen in a different light by those who supported him so aggressively over the years.
Same Same!!!!

Even when caught on tape, Bill denies denies denies. He and his wife are a couple of liars that disgrace American's image all over the world. Other countries are watching. Don't let that man and his wife back in D.C. even as tourists !!!!!

I agree with Mr Clyburn. Bill made a comment that should not have been made. I feel it was to distract voters. I was a big fan of the Clintons until finding out the true Clintons through this campaign.
I would'nt give Hillary a penny (donation). She is a very negative woman and can't balance a budget. I hate when people attack people and not discuss issues that people are concern with – apparently she love distraction also. Maybe Vice President, but not the President. That's Obama job!!! I do believe in change. Tell Bill to stop taking things so personally. Stop putting his foot in his mouth.
***
By the way she did not win PA in double digits. Get it right folks – elementary math.

I'm so sick of this. Clyburn needs to really get a life. Anybody who thinks Former President Clinton or Hillary Clinton are racists, are out in left field. He did more to lift the Black community than any President in the last 40 years. He is not called the first black President for nothing. This is a black citizen who supports Hillary Clinton and does not think Bill Clinton has been acting bizarre. Speak for yourself Clyburn.

We all know that both Hillary and Bill are doing whatever possible to hurt Obama's chances for selfish reasons. Hillary claims the ONLY thing that matters is that the democrats win the general election, which is false. If that were true, she'd realize there is a much greater chance that Obama will be our delegate and she would stop tearing the party down. Her intentions are for her and Bill to get back into the white house at the expense of anything.

Would the top democrats please intervene so we can make sure we win come November?

WHAT? You Mr Clyburn are the one who is bizarre (and inappropriate).

How about sticking with facts (Clintons have done much for AA) instead of spreading ridiculous scandalous rumors (Hillary trying to make Obama unelectable so she can run in 2012). Something you supposedly "heard on the House Floor"

Disgusting.

Obama is such a whiner and has made himself unelectable all on his own.

Another Superdelegate!

It's about time somebody spoke up about this whole insanity. Bill Clinton was never for the black people and now we know he has taken them for a ride. There should be protest going on about him all over. If it was someone other than Bill Clinton, people would be jumping all over him.

Did you not see Clinton's lip move…Of course he is lying

Or is he acting bizarre like a fox……?

Bill Clinton would walk around nude, covered in confectionary sugar if he thought it would get votes (sorry for the image.) And while he's played 'bad cop' to test out a few strategies for Hill, don't underestimate him.

It is unfortunate that Bill Clinton had to stir up in a negative way the worst thing that Americans have had to face, racism. Someone ran an old ad from way back where the white woman did not get the job and the black women stole the job. Now that is the type of rhetoric that Bill Clinton is sprewing from state to state and it is unneccessary. When I look at the national polls that CNN posts, I see that Obama is beating McCain and Hillary is not. It doesn't take a rocket scientist to know that the Republicans are waiting on that old steal meat so that they can ravish it for dinner. In Obama they can only say what someone else has said about him. Wise up Dems! If you do not wise up then you will put McBush right back in the White House for 4 more years OBAMA 08

Funny how the Clintons yell foul when their words are taken out of context then when Obama made the same mistake i.e. the bitter comments, they take it and try to damage obama calling him an elitist. It's a stretch to take you words out of context and call you a racist Bill? Just like Hillary taking Obama's words and running around calling him Elitist trying to gain political points. Don't feel so good when they doing it to you huh? Hypocrites to the third power.

I think this will be a desaster for Hillary if she wins the primary.
She will never, and I mean never, win in a national election because
the Clintons have abused the black comunity. The Clintons have a very big job of bridge building when this is over and it may be too little too late.

give it up congressman, bill and hill have wrote the black community off since S. carolina. they are after the redneck, good ole boys now. u didn't know?

CNN: Why have you not posted any headlines of all the former John Edwards supporters that are now backing Obama???

Is it because you dont want to hurt the feelings of all the Clintonistas?

OBAMA: THE NEXT PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES!!!!!!!!!

BILL AND BILLLARY ARE BOTH NOTHING BUT BOLD FACED LIARS. NEITHER ONE OF THEM NOW HOW TO TELL THE TRUTH. THEY BOTH SAY WHAT THEY THINK YOU WANT TO HEAR. MAYBE BILL IS TAKING SOME OF HIS BROTHER'S DRUGS TO MAKE HIM BIZARRE. BILLARY IS PROBABLY DOIN SOME ALSO, TO MAKE HERSELF THINK SHE IS GOING TO WIN. GET A LIFE, AND WAKE UP AND SMELL THE COFFE, IF THE COKE HASN'T EATEN AWAY ALL OF YOUR SENSES.

Clyburn is right on – The Clintons are users – when the masks come off they are very, very ugly and mean-spirited people.

I wish I had the time to conduct a study of what these Democraps said about Bill during his Presidency. I recall it was the GOP that questioned his behavior at the time and even led an effort to impeach President Bizzaro . . . my, my, my how times have changed . . . NOT ! ! !

While I agree with Clyburn, I am glad that the Clintons showed their true colors sooner than later. It's not about unifying the country and healing old wounds that warrant treatment; rather, for them, it's more important for them to regain control. I was one of the many African-Americans who supported them during the Clinton Administration and seriously debated my stance on this election regarding Hillary. It wasn't necessary for me that they pander to the Black community; I just wanted them to be fair and honest. Ethically-sound was too much to ask, I suppose. I am an unwavering supporter of Barack Obama.

bizarre is an understatement!

bill clinton is a clown!

Funny how the rest of the country is beginning to see the Clintons for what many of us have seen for 15 years.

They will lie, cheat and steal to get into power.

Sad part is, Obama is just as bad.

Both Clintons are proving they will do anything to get THAT WOMAN in office. I once backed them, but now I am appalled by the tactics they use. Hillary comes off as a shrill harpy and he is basically a handler. As far as Chelsea goes I wonder if she has any backbone. The Bosnia Story a misspeak? NO a LIE.

I like the use of the word Bizzar. Its not racist, but it is dismissive of Obamas (not the community) efforts. Hard to tell what Clinton is trying to do with these statements. They dont help the Dems, Hillary, or the voters.

Texas, California, New Mexico, Arizona, and Florida were all won by Hillary because they have used the brown/black race card to win those states. They also used it to woo the poor uneducated white vote in Pennsylvania, Ohio, and Michigan. you know they will use it AGAIN, to try and win Indiana. They are absolutely shameless!

I know Obama has had bad press the last couple of days for the first time in this campaign. So what happens, here comes the undeclared super delegate (yea right) to turn the attention away from him. I hope the media does not let him get away with this as he did in SC. He went the the NYT's then as he is doing now.

Clyburn is the one acting bizarre! The comments about the Obama win in SC were correct, but not poltically correct. They pertained simply to demographics. Clyburn is the one getting his facts wrong and distorting the statements to give his buddy Obama some help.

These Obama Surrogates need to stop making attacks "for" Obama and let him make these statements himself. But of course, if Obama didn't keep "asking" his surrogates to take the bullet for him he wouldn't be able to stay clean in this campaign.

Simply saying,
Wynter

I don't see how Clinton would be viable in 2012. If Obama doesn't win this year I would hope he would run again in 2012. The Clintons are yesterday's power couple. There time has past.

In difficulties the Obama camp uses the racial card to obtain the vote of the blacks and later they say that it's the Clinton camp which uses this strategy. They are hypocritical in the camp Obama and I hope that Clinton will win in Indiana.

Funny that the Clintons talk about the "fairy tales" of others when they themselves seem to prefer sci-fi, trying to use Jedi mind tricks on the voters by trying to convince them that they never said the things they did, and if they did, they were misquoted, they misspoke, or someone took it out of context. Or, as in Chelsea's case, it's not our business (what happened to that thick skin y'all said you needed?). I'm an older white female – supposedly Hil's key demographic – but as much as I'd love to see a woman in the White House, I would prefer to see ANY woman in the White House who isn't a sociopathic Clinton. Superdelegates, put this strident, lying harpie out of America's misery. Go Obama!

Clyburn is right; Bill Clinton is behaving bizzarely, but it has nothing to do with black vs. White. The race card issue is a Clinton campaign strategy. They are trying to appeal to racists. A part of Bill Clinton's mind truly believes that HE, not Hillary is running for president. In many refrences to Hillary, he has answered with the pronouns "I" and "we", but not with "she." He's been called down several times for this by the party leadership, but he always reverts back. This should be a matter of grave concern for all Amerians. It indicates that Bill will be attempting to run Hillary's White House, should she be elected. She has shown that she has no control over him, so we must expect that he will attempt to execute the Offce of President himself, albeit in the background.

It is distressing, to say the least, to see the ways the Clintons have gone. Any hope of a "legacy" has gone down into the gutter with them. A staunch democrat for decades, we have been disgusted by their tactics and Hillary is doing no favors to women by reinforcing the stereotype of a vindictive woman poisoning everything around her. Clintons are every bit as trashy as the stuff they are doing, and history will show that they have destroyed themselves as well as the party, for the sake of personal ambitions. We should fear for the chances of the democrats in November. By the way, she has also diminished the chances for any other women presidential candidate in the near future. But after all, if they were all to be like her, who needs a woman president???

The Clintons are out-of-touch, greedy dinosaurs. Let us make way for a new generation of ideas and leadership.

ok lets be honest here, its all about race. if not OB wuld not be getting 90% of the black vote. How else could a person with little exp be the frontrunner for the bigest job in the world.

Neutral = strongly critical? How?

It seems that every faction, be it the media, political party, or the
candidates themselves interpret whatever is said in the way
they wish to to take the most advantageous spin. Everyone is
guilty. I have never needed a media person to tell me what I
heard, read, or thought. Hopefully, there are enough people
who can see, hear and think for themselves to make intelligent
decisions on their own without the input of the biased of
whatever sort. One person's "bizarre" may make perfect sense
to another. The continual twisting of semantics is what is truly
bizarre.

I am sick to death of hearing abour race from the Obama people. The only rasist cries around here is from Obama,

Enough from the media and this race issue, drop it and get back to the issues!

It would be nice if other democrats would stop making Bill Clinton out to be a racist. Obama's people have made this race about race. It makes me upset with I hear these types of comments and make me want to vote republican in the fall.

In Bills own words “We were talking about South Carolina political history and this was used out of context and twisted for political purposes by the Obama campaign to try to breed resentment elsewhere,"

If Bill doesn't want his words taken out context then why do the Billary team take Obama's out of context and twist them for political purposes

Look who is talking racism!!!
Congressman Clyburn you are lost. Pres. Clinton have done so much for African American and now such back bitting is disgusting.
Obama and his followers including Congressman Clyburn are one racial issues and playing on race card , public is not blind nor hard of hearing.
When Sen. Obama used expression "typical white women" I was offended along with many American.
Just count how many African American voted for white women(Hillary)
and how many white people voted for black man (Obama) than judge aobout racism.Tis is not firs time Congressman Clyburn talking racism and I now have enough.All you playing on the race card shuold stop and play fair game.

i"m writting to express my saddest feeling about the former president
Bill Clinton "s behaviour that upsets even a lot of africans including
Nelson Madela who publicly showed support during his impeachment
believing that he is somebody who peaple of colour can trust.
Bill has consistently being playing a racal card right from the begining
in order to transmogrify Obama"s candidacy in the eyes of white voters.The congressman is obsolutely right as to his behaviour,shameful

What Bill and hillary are showing us is exactly what the "other side" has been accusing them of all along—they will say or doanything to win. Or as most folks see it, showing everyone your 'real colors'. If Hillary either continues her tactics and regardless of wheter or not she manages to break and create the rules as she goes along and gets the nomination, as one who doesn't like to speak for millions of people, I would say its a fair bet that she would not get what the media calls the 'balck vote in November.

Sure, her percentages maybe higher than McCain, for obvious reasons, but turnout will be extremely low for her, and for the democratic party, you can not win without the strong showing of the most loyal constituency you have. But, maybe this is a wake-up to that constituency, which i am a part of, that when it comes down to it, as far as the black community goes, the VIPs in both parties really don't think that much of us until they need something from us, so maybe we should start looking at the third party candidates, or even republicans alot more. That includes not only in the presidential contests, but every two years from the congressional contests and every six for the senate contests as well….

Bill Clinton is a sick man and Hillary is just as sick if not more so. They are both consumed by greed and power but Hillary is also a bitter scorned woman.

She will never win the GE if she wins the nomination with her crazy antics. Her negatives are enormous and growing daily.

What Bill said is true, the media has always been known to show snipets of conversations, isn't that the complaint Obama made about his own pastor?? If this wasn't a race issue, there is now way in Hell Obama would have 90 to 95% of the black vote! If Obama was a white, hardly known candidate, do you think he would have 90 + percent of the White vote??

Why is it when Reverend Wright speaks his ridiculous blather, it is a matter of context, and when Bill Clinton makes statements that are far less offensive and outrageous, he is acting "bizarre"?

Who is playing the race card? I guess I had better ask John Lewis.

Bill day is coming, maybe sooner than he thinks, if billary is not the nominee, Bill is out of there. The only reason oh Bill been there this long, is because she needed his name, for the black vote. Not to say it's helping. Maybe for those old senoirs, that don't know there but from there head. Believe me It's gonna be Pay Back for Bill.
You will read about it. Ha Ha Ha! What's good for the goose is good for the gander.

What a WEAK shot at trying to deflect attention away from Reverend Wright's "comming out."

Hillary '08, '12

I don't think either Bill or Hillary Clinton has to apologize to anyone. Both of them have worked tirelessly for African Americans for several decades and it is a shame that less than 10% of them are supporting Hillary. As a resident of Illinois, there is nothing concrete that Senator Obama has done for anyone of any race.

A racist is a racist know matter what color race nationality or gender they are. Everyone should look to their own heart to see if they are a racist. Just a tipical white woman's thought

I've observed Clyburn for years. His behavior has always been considered bizarre. He is only attempting to distance black voters from Hillary and for that he should be ashamed.

If these African Americans keep making comments about race it is only going to hurt Obama which is fine with me. I am for Hillary.

Bill Clinton craves the spotlight. He'll never take a back seat position and that is why his wife can't be president. America does not need 4 more years of Bubba Clinton.

It was Bill Clinton's personal attacks against Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton's manipulative "You never . . ." remarks, "if looks could kill" stares and "slum-lord" accusations that began my retreat from the Clinton camp. When Obama won South Carolina by doubling up on both Clinton and Edwards, I knew I had found a winner. Next, Hillary claimed victory in the unofficial Florida primary and I knew I had made the right decision to abandon her and support Obama. Soon, I fully grasped the Obama campaign message: America needs to be better than what the Clintons represent. America needs a new direction and Obama is the only candidate going "my way."

Bill Clinton is trying anything he can to win for his wife. Obama is playing the "nice guy" so there are topics he cannot touch. Hillary's side is not restricted that way so they can play every dirty trick available.

If Obama's campaign had said that Clinton was trying to use the "Gender card" against them it would have been rehashed time and time again by the Clintons, and the media. I read about President Clinton's comments on the same day as the Pennsylvania Primary and then never heard anything else about it.

I love the fact that Obama is trying to take the high road during his campaign, but just once I would like to see him give Hillary a little taste of her own medicine.

For Clyburn to suggest that President Clinton owes the black community something for backing him during impeachment is absurd. If that's true, then Governor Richardson certainly owes the President more for appointing him to his cabinet and paving the way for him to go on to the governorship, presidential candidate, etc…

The fairy tale analogy and the Jesse Jackson comment are based in fact and are fair game and are not in any way, shape, or form racist or insensitive in nature.

Clyburn is a washed up, bitter old man whose interpretations only serve to fuel the deep divide between blacks and whites in this nation.

Billy Should go to hell.

i could never forgive him, when he had a chance to get bin laden,
he was too busy w/ monica, jeniffer flower, and many others.

shame on Clintons.

The only person that is damaging Obama is Obama, and the Judas likes of Congressman Clyburn. They are using racial overtones and utilizing reverse psychology to blame everyone else. Obama will not win It's just as simple as that. It's not about race, it's about patriotism. He has been placed in the scales and come up wanting.

can the Hill-Billys please just go home. you are a disgrace to this country. just leave and stay away.

Obama for president 08

It is sad that this primary has stirred such a racial divide in OUR country. We are not as divided as OUR politics suggest. We must look past color and gender. We need change in this country and that means moving past OUR divides to strengthen OUR future.
WE are ONE.

Change=Obama 2008

Again, you have Bill inserting foot and then blaming Obama. I agree totally with the article. I believe that if THEY can't have the Presidentcy, they are going to make sure that Obama can't win in the fall. That way they can say,"See", "We told you he could not win".

CLIntons are no faith no law people…

they dont beleive in anything…dont have morals and principle. They has a psycho way of thinking wich is that " what they do is right or becomes right at the very moment they decide to do it ".

That 's why they say something, and the day after something else. They twist the reality in their favor and that's alright to them.

That s a basing characteristics of psycho personnality.

Bill has been in North Carolina this last week. Does the news media not do investigative reporting anymore? It is obvious that the Clinton's have something to do with the ads being shown by the Republican Party, and Linda Daves.

The more 'bizzare' Bill is … more money is thrown his way. Bill's not nuts, those who love him are. Can I get an 'Amen' ?

I think it is naive not to believe the race card is not an issue. I am certain that when we go to the polls and vote, in the quite and private time, most Americans will not vote for a black potential president. Most people will either vote for John McCain or not at all. I can't possibly see how Obama can win in the general election. What is going on now is just a Democratic party showdown. Do I have a racist attitude? No, but a realistic attitude of what will take place if Obama is the Democratic candidate. It is a waste of an opportunity for the party to take back the White House.

It proves the concept that basic tool for the manipulation of reality is the manipulation of words. If you can control the meaning of words, you can control the people who must use the words…..the central dogma of a pollitican.

The fact remains who between the Clintons is more annoying!!!

both of them…

But who would have tought that Bill would be more annoying that Hillary!!!

Instead of saying "honney this thing is over, let's go home lying in wait for another time"; nop, he is feeding her tenacious annoyance.

Even if she wins all the 408 delegates left, because she only have 1586 now, she can't get the 2025 needed. Mitt Romney for the GOP did the math and he did see the reality and then moved on. Can somebody help her other than Bill to see clearly????

Just another reason why the Clintons must GO AWAY!

I think America is starting to show its real face when it comes to racism!!!

This is how crazy Bill becomes when Hillary is the one publicly in charge. She always did exert influence even when he was Prez, but at least back then he was still at the head of the canoe. Now that she is leading, he doesn't know seem to know how to follow. Too bad for them but good for us, neither sees the huge waterfall of defeat they are coming up on. Bye bye, Spinillary and Bill! Don't worry–all your loyal Clintonheads and Carvillites will be there at the bottom to pick you up (but probably not all those you've now terribly offended and disgusted, like blacks, whites, Obama voters, independent and republican crossover voters, superdelegates, etc., etc., etc…).

Neutral ??? Really??? He is an OBAMA surrogate and as in the past the OBAMA people raising the race card under the pretext its the Clintons' issues

Mr. Clyburn needs to take a deep breath, and go sit down. Clinton is being who he is…a rough and tumble politician. Obama is already not electable…Clinton did not do it. Obama did it. He has self-destructed. Clyburn takes himself far too seriously.

Bill's behavior is schizophrenic. But how is that different from any other Bill Clinton we've known? MY GOODNESS PEOPLE!!?? How is this family still involved in American politics? Don't we deserve better than Bush's tax break's for the Rich and the Clintons' endless pursuit of absolute power? Shame in the news media for covering these issues like these people are normal and their arguments are valid.

Obama gets smeared while focusing on the issues. Do a story about how they run these smear campaigns. Give us a good, in-depth analysis of BOTH sides' tactics. That would be good, news-worthy reporting. Instead of focusing on this "is it too late for Hillary" or "are we still talking about Obama's minister?"

As long as you keep asking questions like the latter, you ARE still talking about his minister.

Focus now on how the Reverend White visited the Clinton White House as well… or is that not good journalism?

The funny thing is that untill Bill started running his mouth, black people were still supporting Hillary. Its easy to stop supporting someone when they are acting like a jerk.

I think Bill has done too many appearances. Maybe he's hoping she'll choose him as her running mate. Anyway, I know he wants to see Hillary win, but he needs to step back and let HER run as the democratic candidate.

We all know Mrs Clinton winning the Democratic nomination will be one of the biggest upsets or call it “camebacks” in the history of the presidentials primaries.
I do not think the Clintons do not know this, they know it and they will equally be shocked if Hillary were to be nominated.
So why is she still running and above all, why all the negative campagning?
Their main job at the moment is to destroy Obama!!!
Why?
That’s the million dollar question!
Come on….Bill had been something of a cult figure among Black people the world over, he know’s this and he enjoys it…..forgotten the “first black president” tag?
So why someone else come to replace him……Noooo!
Secondly, Obama or Hilary were set for the history books…….the Clintons are going for it’s me or no history this year……
The last view is that, they are now representing or holding the interest of that group of people think “Nooooo America is not ready for a black president, nooo, not a black man”. Take a closer look at Hillary droping tears just before the New Hampshire vote and listen to her attentively and judge for yourself if she is part of this group or just pleading to them.

God Bless America

Clyburn is a whiner. All these Obama supporters do is just whine and whine. All hope, change, but if there's no action. It's not going to happen, people.
get out of the ghetto and do something good for your life.
not just whine ane whine and hope this Obama is going to solve all of your problems. It's not going to happen. Everybody is equal in America. So stop whining and waiting for hand out. I'm so sick of Obama. He didn't do a darn thing to better Chicago politics like he promised. And now he promised to better US politics? Dream on, people. I want a doer, no talker.

I agree with Mr. Nelson 100%.

Clyburn is totally wrong, it was Hannity and Fox News that stirred this up. They are hurting Obamas chance of winning, he had Fred Thompson talking about Obam last night. Not the Clinton's this is an effort to stop Hillary's momentum by another Obama supporter. If you can't see this then your blind. The Clinton's just happen to benefit the fact that Obama was not correctly vetted. If anything Clyburn is being racist and sexist attacking a white female candidate, did anyone stop to think about that. Let's rewind Obamas comment (typical white person) that did not nearly draw the attention of the sniper fire comment. Lets be transparent and not bring up race in this race. It's getting uglier by the minute and all the supporters need to let the candidates dictate the outcome.

Give me a break
What about San Francisco close door talk?
What about Rev. Jeremiah Wright G.D America?

Right on. There is nothing else to say.

Bravo to you sir!

Spot on, right there. Bill's remarks didn't even make any sense in the first place, and then he started denying them. Bizarre doesn't begin to cover it.

No one is accusing the Clintons of overt racism, but rather fanning the flames of ignorance in people who are.

Clyburn is correct: Bill Clinton's behavior is bizarre. In fact, he is acting just like a raging alcoholic. The irrational outbursts, the self-deception, and his physical appearance–bloated face & flushed complexion–are good indications that he has a bad drinking problem. There is also a family history of alcoholism, and the disease is genetic. Do we want an uncontrolled and uncontrollable drunk running amok in the White House so close to the nuclear trigger? It would be Dr. Strangelove in reality.

THERE SURFACED A PICTURE OF THEN PRESIDENT BILL CLINTON WITH THE REV. WRIGHT UP VERY CLOSE, AND A LETTER FROM CLINTON THANKING HIM FOR HIS SUPPORT, BUT I NEVER SEE IT PRINTED, ON CNN OF FOX NEWS. COULD IT BE THAT THEY DON!T WANT THE WORLD TO KNOW HOW CLOSE ALL POLITICAL PARTIES WERE WITH THE REV. WRIGHT.

I guess in America, it is always about race… no matter how hard we try to pretend or ignore, it always boils down to race . The Clintons just want to give minorities fish, but when minorities learn how to fish, clintons try to sink their fishing boats. "No you can't go out to fish on your own, until we say you are tried, tested and ready". Hypocrites. I have lost all respect for the clintons and I can't understand why anyone would vote for Hillary. Run a fair race. Doing anything to win is definitely not noble. Hope I don't get censored.

It's nothing new from the clinton's rule book, do whatever it takes to win, say whatever the public wants to hear, so they "appear" as though they care. When in reality, they only care for themselves.
There's too much credit given today in "appearances"; If one appears to care that's all that matters. Truth has become a dirt word in Politics, and the Lie has over taken every aspect of American life.
Our founding fathers predicted this before the constitution was written, we have proved them right regrettably. And there is no sight of the truth ever regaining control, thanks to those like the clinton's.

Finally, its seen how these two have played in the mud and we are sick of it, back when he was disgracing the USA as the worst president in history got impeached, the white community portrayed AAs of supporting him for his disgusting acts, now you support them in fact glorifying them……………… you think this is any better than Obama!!!! And he an Hillary stood side by side and straight out lied…people please……………… he will do the same again because you are giving them permission

Listen carefully to what he has just said. Know the behavior of your Bill is reflected upon his wife, just as she wants to use her time as First Lady as experience.

My vote will not be cast for Clinton(s) – write-in. Do know, there is a greater possiblity that there is actually more Obama's supporters that will not vote Clinton.

This article is no surprise, but quite predictable. Every single time that Hillary Clinton achieves a legitimate level of momentum, the Obama campaing, along with the national media, pull out an "anti-Bill" story. And, the most effect ones seem to relish in suggesting some foolish "hidden racist" commentary on the ex-President's part.

Seriously, do a research hit and you will find this statement to be accurate. I don't care what Clyburn says: Bill Clinton is no racist, nor is he imprudent in the manner in which he approaches dealing with Obama's chances for the general election. Most of this stuff above is just old, rehashed material, with Clyburn calling President Clinton's behavior bizarre. Well, I think Congressman Clyburn is bizarre and biased — so how's that for an analysis. Want to interview me.

Gosh — do you honestly believe fair-minded Americans believe that Bill Clinton is a racist? This is a joke!

You need to sit down and shut up. People can see right through what you are trying to do.

It's about time Brother Clyburn step out and speak up. Obama WILL be the nominee for the Democrats IF everything is on the up and up. So the antics the Clintons have been pulling are very shameful. Another example how they (Clintons) will do anything to win even destroy their own party in the process!!

Mr Clyburn is overstating the issue. It is only rational to expect that Bill Clinton will be offended and insulted by accusing him of racism. The Clintons have always been there for African Americans. Just as Lyndon Johnson was, like it or not. The African American community should not forget that. Who played and is playing the race card? to many of us it is clear that the Obama campaign is. All people are equal African American, white, whatever please stop making race an issue. Mr Clyburn and Mr Obama and his campaign must stop crying wolf everytime criticism comes their way. This really hurts African Americans as much as Reverend Wright does.

Clyburn is right. My view of both the Clintons has gone downhill fast. What is with both of them? They've proven that to win this battle with Obama they will do practically anything. This isn't fighting for "us". This is fighting for "them".

They need to be attacking McCain like there is no tomorrow and showing how strong they would be against McCain by causing his poll numbers to drop big time – not by hurting Obama. To me, that's how they would demonstrate they deserve the super-delegate votes and the votes in the rest of the primaries.

That's right…
The Clintons are rascists…. anyone who questions Obama about his past or anything other than praise's for him is a rascist… if Obama doesn't win in a landslide then America is rascist…. Obama lost PA cause those white people are racist…

Never mind the guy can't debate, answer a question, and has more than one affiliations with militant people…

But no… it's just cause he's black! Nice crutch…

This is just getting rediculas. Clinton says something that is true and he has to worry about the black community. This is black racism on the whites here. Obama and reverend Wright can say what ever they want about whites, but when Clinton calls Obama out for playing the race card he is going to be threatened by the black community.
Sounds to me like they want to justify their racism. Obama can get up and make a speach about typical white people, but Clinton can't call a spade a spade. Clinton has done more for blacks the Obama ever has and this is how the want to treat the man for speaking the truth.
They should be going after Obama for playing the race card. After all they now what is like to be discriminated against the most and should not wish it on anyone else. Instead it's like some sort of redemption.
Clyburn better watch what he says or this will turn into a race thing and that it not good for the black communities.

I dont think Clinton is acting anyway except standing up for himself. I believe there has been a certain group that has tried to twist things to cause an upset along racial lines. What they were trying to do WORKED and that is why we have this voting along racial lines.

Bizarre? Thats an Understatement! Dont forget Rev Wright paid Bill and Hillary a visit in the white house when they were having marital problems!
The clintons are Flip Flopers!!

Stop the Drama VOTE Obama!

President Clinton's comments are not *Bizarre* at all, he is telling the truth ,what is" Bizarre" is obama's relationship with Rev Wright for 20 years. Dont tell me he doesn't feel the same way his reverend does. Like Wright said "Obama is a politicain and = a hipocrit, talking about transparency? …….He needs a lot to learn….

Why doesn't he just say that he supports Sen Obama.

I think the presidential candidates need to undergo psychological evaluations before getting into the Whitehouse.

2 years ago you could've never convinced me the Clintons were anything but good. Now I've seen an entirely different side to them.

I'm an Obama supporter, but think I'll go watch Bubba tonight when he comes to town, just for curiousity's sake. Interestingly enough, many people in our town really don't seem to want him around though. Maybe that's why they rented such an incredibly small venue (middle school gym…lol)

I believe they DID play the race card on Bill Clinton. He was only stating the truth. I did not hear Jesse Jackson complaining. I am sure he was proud to have won the state.

I agree.. Billary think they own America!
They think they should automatically be made president and that it should not be earned…

How sick..

WILL STOOP TO ANY LOW TO WIN>>> SICK!!

Bill and Hillary Clinton are not going to change,they can't. Both of them knowing Hillary can't win, have started throwing out life lines to see they can catch.

This thing about the clintons is getting out of hand.They should be stopped now or that will be the end of the democratic party.

I don't have an opinion as to whether Bill Clinton's behavior is "bizzare" or what but this democrat race has become very disgusting. The back and forth name calling, the he said she said, the crying, the delegate count, the popular vote and the superdelegate's roll and nothing about the issues. Gas prices rising, food cost, global warming, high unemployment rate, immigration, and the Mideastern crisis are some of the real issues. This messy stuff has got to end and we are all sick and tired of it.

Hillary said that? What an ignorant comment. This family has got to go. They had their time in history and the pages are turning to the Obama section now…

I happy someone finaly said it.

So what ! I guess there is not aproblem with Obama accusing the Clinton's of racism just before heading to the south!

I think Obama is acting a little irresponsible for a honest politician.

It's about time someon took the Clintons to task for what they are putting the Democratic party through. Hillary can't win the pledged delegate vote, and is barely ahead in super-delegates. They are simply trying to ruin Obama's chances so that she can take another shot in four years.

This just goes to show Bill is a liar just like his wife.. . I thought highly of them until lately… I would not cast my vote for Hillary,,, they have run a ridiculously campaign…. silly would be the better word!

So, was it ok when Obama slammed the people of Pennsylvania?

Stop the race issue………

We are ALL Americans!!!!

Clinton 08

Does Clyburn realize he is using a drinking metaphor to describe the black community's support of Clinton? It is not an apt comparison and and the implications are not deserved.

with 97% of all blacks voting for Obama, how can we say the Clintons are the racists here!

As an independent observer, it seems to me that there has been hyper-sensitivity to anything remotely racial in this election. I look forward to the day when our presidential candidates are judged not by the color of their skin but by the content of their character.

this is just irrational. people need to stop whining.

isn't that what you're supposed to do in a presidential campaign? make your opponent unelectable?

Bill and Hillary have used race but they are not racist. When Bill says "im not a racist" that is a way to pivot around the issue because we all know that he is not.
But that is not the issue.

This is why the Clintons are loosing respect, peole are not as dumb as they think.

Whatever the issue is, Clayburn bringing is just opening up the wound again.

Bill… all of us know that this politics as usual… the media is putting spin on everything… Obama's camp is currently blaming the media for 30 second sound bites and taking things out of context…

Clyburn is a smart man… I do not understand why he is saying these things especially with Bill Clinton's history and all of the things he did for the black community… Clyburn should understand politics and the media!!!

I know from reading the full transcript in regards to what Bill was responding to… Bill told the media that they had played the race card and continue to spin his words… I can not believe the media is trying to label Bill Clinton as racist…

Funny. Rev. Wright reappears and now does the claim that the Clinton's are racist. Interesting.

I think all Americans of every ethnicity should be outraged. Hillary and Bill have been able to slither around for years. Its time Americans see them for who they really are.

You think? The guy is sabotaging his wifes campaign…Do we really want him as our First Lady?

We all know by now that NOTHING is ever Bill's fault … well, except for the stain on the blue dress. I can almost remember when I still had some respect for the Clintons, but what little remained has faded rapidly of late.

Speaking the truth. I think Bill has lost a little in the last 8 years. He is not as slick.

Please Mr. Clyburn, what about all the GOOD President Clinton did in office for ALL people in this country! I think ALL people should APPRECIATE our former President a little more and stop slamming him and Hillary!

Does Clyburn realize he is using a drinking metaphor to describe the black community's support of Clinton? I do not think it is an apt comparison nor is it appropriate in this context. He is not paying the black community a compliment.

right on the point.

The Clintons continue to say and do things to appeal to the largest portions of their constituency — uneducated people and those scared of African Americans. As we saw in Pennsylvania, a state with a lot of uneducated people and bigots, this works.

I agree that Bill Clinton is behaving irrationally, as well as unprofessionally. He can not use his wife to regain respect. He should be asheamed of his behavior. Representative Clyburn was right to call him out.

Clinton wasnt talking about South Carolina political history as he claims. He was completely dismissing Obama's win, pretty much saying any black candidate could win there for simply being black.

Bill Clinton was correct . Obama is a race-baiter and this is why this strong democrat will not vote for Obama if he wins the nomination.

Good job! Finally someone stated how when Bill needed African-Americans he was friendly. Now he thinks he does not his true colors are showing.

I agree. I think he is acting bizarre but I've thought that since 1992.

Hillary has lost it. Bill has lost it and I have two straight
jackets on hold. All in the name of power.

I hope Clyburn's wrong about Hillary intending to sabotage Obama just enough that he'll lose in 2008 and she can come back in 2012, but my gut tells me Clyburn's right.

Bill Clinton has obliterated a stellar (and steadily improving, in the wake of George W. Bush) legacy in a little less than four months. Maybe he never really was all that great…

And the frightening thing is that the Clintons will steal
the nomination and continue their bizarre politics and behaviour
for the next eight years.

I totally agree with what he just said! I am so disappointed in the Clintons. I had so much respect for them before all of this. I voted for Bill both times, now I cannot vote for Hillary out of dignity.

Obama's camp starting the racial bs again , I see.
