CNN

Well, if he doesn't have enough shoes, maybe the 100 million dollar club members (Hillary and McSame) can give him a loan. This is silly CNN.

Who's posting these articles, a 12 year old?

It was a joy to read Joyce in Arkansa(who mistakenly put her husbands name) and Stacy Clarks. I am a Canadian but am watching the Primeries, and am very impressed with Barack Obama & I sure hope he is your next President as he will be good for the world.

Obama 08/12

Portland, you are an uniformed idiot. If you would bother to research the man you would know that Obama had student loans and scholarships. It has NEVER been said he was a drug dealer or any of the other things you state. You are obviously one of the uneducated Clinton supporters.
Obama 08

If Obama is an elitist.

How many presidential candidates post Harry Truman were:
a) Raised part of the time by a single mom of a different race who at one time needed federal aid.
b) Raised part of the time by his grandparents who were from a different race.
c) B in KANSAS.
d) Travelled to other parts of the world not for pleasure but due to his mother working for a living.
e) Received federal aid to go to college.
f) Decided for a career as a community organizer vs. a clerk of the Supreme court.

There are no elitists in the southside of Chicago, drive through there after 10:00pm on any day of the week and tell me how many you see on the corner or at the community centers!

You may want to stay in your car!

God bless Obama, he must be a Christian, for seeing the best in people and Hope in America.

I see the negative, bigoted, racist opinions of people as nothing more than "crabs in a barrell". Some people can't stand to see people improve themselves and their lot.

Misery loves company!

Elitist is making college harder to obtain. Elitist is tax cuts for the rich. Elitist is wars of choice being fought by underpaid soldiers. Elitist is thinking that there's nothing wrong with $4 gas. Elitist is thinking that the markets can figure out the mortgage crisis and help American citizens on their own without regulation. So ask yourselves, who is the real elitist here?

The distraction is intentional. The issues are real. But look over here at this shiny watch. It's so pretty as it swings from right to left and from leffft to riiiiiiiiiiiiight.

I'm sorry, I forgot that thinking is elitist also.

He knows how to dress well without looking cheap. That's why he looks like GQ model. If you don't have 'it" no matter how expensive your clothes doesn't matter just like putting lipstick on a pig.

barrak obama is the ideal man for the job
he has worked on the streets as a civil rights lawyer,fighting for those without a voice
all hillary has been doing has been dodging sniper fire all the way from bosnia
we will not give in to fear
we will not give in to rumours
we will not give in to lies
we will not give in to pantsuits
we will never give in to the clitons

Did Obamas tax returns show where he deducted the interest from all those college loans? where are returns from 1997-1999 . Also Obama went to a high end school in Indonesia, a very expensive private school in Hawaii, then on to harvard, ect . Obama knows nothing about making ends meet,

Did Tony Resko pick them out for him?

O-Waffle Man on another vacation????

Run..Run Oblama......Hope it's a one way ticket!
Wimp!

Big lie
Obama do you thing we will believe you. Sorry
Once you get the nomination you will see the real campaign
Hillary 08 or Mc Cain 08

Elitism is a belief and an arrogant attitude, that one is superior to others. They have deep insecurities which they defend against by holding themselves a cut above. Obama has often shown arrogance and entitlement to be the President. He is the product of the Illinois/Chicago political arena. Don't ask, secretive policies ,identical to the Bush/Chaney years in the White House.

i wonder who picks out hillary's clothes?
maybe the same person who picked the blue dress and beret for monica "bill" lewinsky.

Oh, Come on, you people are so biased. Let the man make one
statement without ridicule. Please keep your negatives for Hillary.
Notice the Republicans, Hannity, Rove. Limbaugh are not hardly
talking against Hillary, yet. They have to get Obama out of the way
first. God Help, American if Hillary or McCain continue their selling
off America to Columbia and China and Now Dubai. Wait, just
wait til the Republicans "debate" Hillary on their somewhat "bonnie
and Clyde" lifestyle. The woman won't have a chance to cough, gulp
or speak. She won't like debates then. They are planning to use her
own dirty games on her and it will be repulsive.

PAYING OFF YOUR STUDENT LOANS IS NO REASON TO PICK THE NEXT LEADER OF THE FREE WORLD.

To Portland: If you really wants to know about Senador Obama's food stamps and prep. school read his book "Dreams of my Father" . The answers are there. Don't just repeat what you heard.

How much BS can we take from one candidate. This guys is as elitist as they come. He is so full of himself he should change is name to SNOBAMA.

Don't worry buddy, I'm sure Condi Rice will buy you some new shoes during the next hurricane.

Obama '08

Come on girls, vote OBAMA!!!!!!!!!!!

Hillary is just a lying hold over from the past.

Yeah right!! He is not the one getting up early in the morning to take a long commute to work, in order to pay the bills and the high taxes. Not to say the high price of fuel and food!! He never ever says what he is going to do for the high cost of fuel. He is not a regular guy and never will be! He is just looking to play his angle if he gets the opportunity just like Clinton and Mccain and any other politican!! It is and it will always be about them! And their own agenda!!!!!!! Lets get some guts America and try something different and vote independent. If we keep going with same old players it will be the same old thing!!!!!!!

Looks likeMODERN DAY AMERICA TO ME.

Obama supports his cousin Raila Odinga and sends a million dollars to his political camp thousand of people have been displaced by election violence (over 350,000) and some are believed dead. Obama camp continues to cry race and if he looses the race possibly his group will cause a race war in America.

Since CNN want post this message, I will write to all the Government official about this news. I am sure, this is a cover up for Obama. McCain is looking better each day, he is American and so is Hillary Clinton, they have the people heart and are standing up for America not Kenya.

CNN Is a Racist

Democrats are really good at one thing- losing elections...even those that are seemingly in the bag.

We have now spent more money than ever just to beat a really weak republican nominee, with everyone already disgusted with Bush. We should have taken this election without any campaigning and without spending ANY money.

But once again, we are desperately trying to install the nominee with appeal to the radical, ultra-liberal and fringe elements of the party. Such a candidate can not even pull all of the democrats behind him- much less the rest of America.

Now we will Pander to the newbies and the black vote- out of fear of alienating them... and then we are willing to lose the election. Again.

We never learn. This party deserves to DIE.

The longer this campaign goes, the more of AMERICA is revealed. While people are putting Obama under a microscope, it is AMERICA who's being SEEN for who we are. This man is our best chance of living life in America with some dignity; especially after the rape and pilage of the Bush administration. But, because too many of AMERICANS are RACIST, we'll get just what we deserve – MORE OF THE SAME IN WASHINGTON. So, when you vote for Hillary or McSame and it costs $200 for a tank of gas, no universal healthcare, no social security, wars, wars and more wars, and we all start living like those in undeveloped countries, we'll be getting just what we deserve. And by the way, it's funny how the people tht perpetuate the trash of the campaign are all rich and won't be affected by the decisions made in Washington; except for getting richer and richer and richer. It's NOT ABOUT BLACK AND WHITE PEOPLE! It's about the ECONOMIC PIMPS and their unmerciful determination to make sure that the rest of us are their ..........

Now we are talking about what Obama is wearing??????????? People get a life, or find something that is news worthy.

This is getting more ridiculous by the hour. Do we really want a "regular guy" in the White House? What makes Obama an attractive candidate are his ideas and his inspiring presence on the national stage. If I wanted a "regular guy" for president I would write in my next door neighbor... or myself.

I see the hate mongers are all present. If the Democratic party dissolves it is that people such as some who write on this page about candidates owning prayer rugs and being the anti-christ. I have never seen an elitist drug dealing car thief but I suppose nothing should surprise me.

Reagan Democrats will just vote for McCain if this Elilist is the Democrat Nominee because of his Dirty Politics while at the same time preaching Change.

What does he have for shoes, 4 pair of Gucci loafers and a pair of $400.00 basketball shoes? Where are the work boots?

Portland. There is something called scholarship. But your racist, self hating self won't know that. People like you make me sick. You should be very ashamed of yourself. At the end of the day. Sen. Obama will be present because we Americans are tired of the same crap we have been dealt for years.

he only has 4 pair of shoe, Bowling shoes are not one of them, or Not Hunting Boots,or Work Boots, so Im thinking he has penny loafers, or High Heels, maybe GoGo boots.

portland
I guess you would know that better because white people know the system right????

obama, few quesions from the corporate media "reporters", or rather parrots, are worth your response.

Senator Obama is not an elitist. I guess some people think that because he is Black that he suppose to talk in ebonics and dress like a thug. Believe me, we have many, many Black People who dress just like mainstream America and talk using correct English.

Those that say he is elitist are using that as a basis for saying he is a Black Man trying to come up. They do not see elitist, but a Black Man.

End the racism and sterotyping.

What rubbish, Obama is such a regular guy he wanted to know where to buy arugula in Iowa, bet his suits and shoes costs hundreds of dollars. His wife complained about how expensive it was to send their daughters to dance, piano lessons and summer camp. A regular guy is concerned on how they are going to afford the rent and paying for college for their children

who cares...

Hillary will be our President!!!

In the mean time, Obama can take intensive mentoring 102 with Pastor Wright

Alberta April 25th, 2008 4:08 pm ET

Michelle, Florida- What a racesit statement. I wii pray for you.

Calling someone a clown is not racist. And I will pray for you to stop jumping on people when you seem to not know what you are talking about...

James Nelson, how bout you grow up and realize this country is a free one and not everyone has to agree with you and you dont have to give them crap for what they believe just like you little weenies who cry everytime somebody doesnt bow down to obama lik ehes a freakin god you people are pathetric and are realy gonna be sad when you realize you got all this hype and money going to an empty suit that being used as a puppet to all the original demecrats anyways you realy think all the old demecrates are going to back the one who says hes gonna change their livelyhood no you freaking idiots

You are not a regular guy, regular guys make $25,000 a year and work hard for a living.

All 3 are elitists, and they are trying to win us regular people over... I'm holding out until the summer or october for my stance.

Also, regular guys cling to their guns and Bible. You do not...

Obama seems a regular guy to me, full of confidence, simple styled yet strong and solid persona, a very complete gentleman.

You haters go get a life.

OBAMA '08

Regular Guy????? with a MILLION DOLLAR MANSION????????????

OMG!! What ARE THEY PUTTING IN THE KOOL-AID this days?????

As O-Waffle Man said "SILLY SEASON"!!!

what the crap cnn again one my my post that has nothing derogatory in it is suspended in moderation becuase i dont support the liberal socialist hypocrite racist obama now ill be derogatory why not aparently the only ones youll show are the mena ones trying to make people look bad you dirty hypocrites

I don't think Sen. Obama made this comment for it to be in the news. people that actually know him will tell you the same thing. He is a regular guy that God blessed with knowledge, wisdom and understanding. He is able to spend time with any one and form his own opinion rather that adopt theirs.

Good luck Sen. Obama, People are very hateful and are only doubting you because you are black. Hillary has no experience as president because she was only parading around as queen when her part-time husband and Monica's part-time man was president.

Yeah, a normal guy, who I can relate to. And I'm pretty sure he can relate to normal people like me. It's about time a normal person has the opportunity to run the country. When he wins then maybe the policies in Washington won't be so out of touch with what normal people do.

OBAMA '08

Obama is no more elite than Hillary is.
What are people complaining about?

All these Obama household talks are harmless.
If anything, it gave us an idea how normal Obama is compared with the Clinton household. At least, Obama doesn't have to worry about explaining to his grandchildren what history says about an impeachment in the White House and for what reckless reason.

Gag me!
It isn't the shoes- it is who is standing in them.

B.O. just what is your idea of the "regular guy", you elitist.

obama got scholarships!!! thats how he got to attend the schools he did, he is extremely smart, obama08!

Its because of this fellow that Americans have awoken!!!..He deserves the nomination..

So What!? There are countless poor, homeless, hungry people in this country. Try getting them to feel sorry for you.........................................

isn't it ironic says: "Hillary STILL got 50% of the vote even being sabotaged and throttled and handicapped."

Hillary was sabotaged and handicapped? You have got to be kidding. She had EVERYTHING going her way at the beginning of this race, and Obama was a relative unknown.

LOL: Obama did not call Pennyslvanians "a bunch of bitter, gun toting, bible thumping bigots"; that's a lie.

Ric April 25th, 2008 3:02 pm ET

Democrats for Mc Cain '08

you were never a democrat if you could so easily align yourself with the likes of John McCain.

Common, the media has nothing to say. it is a priveledge to have a president that know how to look sharp.
Looking good make you a elitist.. WOW!!!!

Four pairs of shoes and my trouser legs above the ankles. I'm a real sharp guy. OH YEAH MAN!!! You denounce your Pastor now after twenty years. What kind of a servant of the lord are you. Oh yeah I'm not supposed to judge. Then I can see why anyone would not denounce REV WRIGHT> But I'd believed the first time he came out with G.. D...!!! America! It would have been the appropriate time to denounce him, THAT IS UNLESS I TOTALLY AGREED WITH HIM AND DIDN'T MIND BREAKING ONE OF HIS COMMANDMANTS AND IN CHURCH TOO. SHAME, SHAME, SHAME. HILLARY 08

Senator Obama is CHANGE and the Republicans will fight dirty old politics because they know Senator Obama is CHANGE!!!

VOTE OUT Bush Clinton Bush Clinton McCain..................

Vote for President Obama in November!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

My November VOTE is for President Obama!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Elitest!

Hillary and Bill makes over $20 Million and rub elbows with the very rich and famous and here's a guy who made his first million last year after taking 5 years to pay off his student loans.

C'mon America, wake up to the dumb psycological games the Clintons are playing on you.

Obama is the best to bring not only America together, but the Mideast as well. World leaders are casting their votes for him. Can you see them negotiating the recent oil crises with Barak much better than Clinton or Mccain or helping us tackle the dollar currency.

Yes We Can...Obama 08'

Way to go Obama!

Just stay focus! The race is over for Hillary!

black men with 'muslim' names are hardly elitist.obama's life is hardly elitist.i think he's just adjusting to life as a famous person,and rightly so.he's never had anything ,until the past few years,due to his books.people are just ill informed,and they listen to and believe anything they're told.how sad,that people no longer think for themselves.

Please tell me what difference does it make?????? There are more important matters to discuss instead all this foolishness. Come people WAKE UP. Stop the hate. Let's all get togeher and clean the up the mess the Republicans made. Slander & mudsling is not going to solve our problems they only delayed them. We are in a crisis. My vote is for Obama he can get the job done. I do not listen to all this negativity only the issues.

The REAL question we need to ask Obama is not "How many pairs of shoes do you own?" but "How much did your shoes cost?"

I've got no money and tons of shoes. Cheep, crappy shoes. But I bet I could pay rent for a few months with the money Obama spent on his few kicks.

SHOES FOR OBAMA!

how did his mother qualify for food stamps at the same time he attended a very expensive prep school. drug dealer/car thief/welfare cheat. just your regular guy

ya and a prayer rug and korhan and a vision dangerous for us as a nation.so dont say we have not been warned he is the anti christ

Obama should punish Hillary for doing John McCain's dirty work for him by offering her the VP slot - publicly and often. She and Bill clearly feel entitled to the White House, and refuse to gracefully concede and make peace within the party - long after it became painfully obvious that she cannot possibly catch Senator Obama in the contest for delegates. So she should be forced to spend the next 8 years attending ribbon cutting ceremonies and foreign funerals.

Most of Hillary's supporters will vote for such a ticket, and if they win, all is forgiven. If not, she can run again in 4 years. And if she refuses the nod, she becomes even more of a pariah in the party than she already is. A win-win all around.

BUT WHAT REALLY MAKES HIM A REGULAR GUY IS THAT UNTIL HE

RECEIVED THE MONEY FROM THE SALE OF HIS BOOKS-

HE WAS STILL PAYING OFF HIS STUDENT LOANS.

NOT THAT IS A REGULAR GUY TO ME!!!!

Now we're talking about his clothes. I'm sure the Fox imperial dragons will have a problem with how he dresses, connect it somehow to Wright and manage to suggest that he's unpatriotic for only have four pairs of shoes.

Good lord, you people who keep calling him elitist. Saying he believes in all that Rev. Wright says. Do you have any idea how rediculous you sound? It is like saying you agree with everything your father has said, or a teacher. Come on don't be that dense.

Well, most people I know have more than 4 pairs of shoes.

PERHAPS OBAMA CAN TEACH US HOW TO MANAGE OUR $$ LIKE HE MANAGES HIS CAMPAIGN FUNDS.

I wonder how many shoes are in Hillary's closet?

I think all of this stuff is manufactured by Obama opponents - it's ridiculous, meaningless... If anyone should have to defend their wardrobe it's scary Hillary!! She wants to wear the pants of this country... I would be ashamed to call her my President - she is shrill, she LIES, she MANIPULATES the truth and her political pawns for profit (personal or professional).
This country is a bunch of FRIGHTENED complainers - always wanting change but wussing out when presented with the opportunity.

How can you call a Black, raise by a single mom, lived on welfare, could only afford to go to school on scholarship, how can you call that person elitists?
Please don't this as the race cord but most people included black people are not use to a Powerful black man who is not a artist, an athlete or a minister. so most people don't know how to view Obama, at lease every President is always married so see a Woman in the spotlight very comon. the Bible so when a person get married the two gecome one, so technically many Women as been there before. and many woman have control the oval office.
This is the first time a man like Obama have such chance, and this is the first time many American see a powerful black man.... it seems weird and ackorwd to lots of people, some react out of fear and rejection, some respond with excitment and embrace.

Who cares? Some of these comments are getting more silly by the day. It did give me a good laugh!! Thanks

"What you didn't ask him if he wears boxers or briefs?"

Didn't they ask Bill Clinton that back in '92? He's a little older now, so I guess if you ask Bill that question now, he'd answer "Depends!"

Some of your comments prove why this country is in the shape were are in right now and why we have problems in the Democratic party. We need to ask God to give us the president we need, not the one we think we want. If we continue to think we are smarter than He is, He will let us have the one we choose.

They were talking about him being a regular guy!! What does that have to do about the way Hillary dresses. Get a gtip, you hateful people. Stick with what's being said. Do you have to constantly pick on Hillary? Why is ok for all of you but when the shoe is on the wrong foot, you whine, whine whine!!! Grow up!!

Senator,
you are in the heart of many believeres regardless of faith,race, and color.
Allah says in Holly books"We have created you witt he differences such as colors in order you human to undrestand better".and "who is the most piest of all is the most loved to the creator."
Good bless you ,
waiting for final result,
Best to Mitchel and Obama,

GQ?? LOL!!!!! Hardly.....

Denzel Washington OR Terrence Howard now THAT IS GQ!!!

– 4 pairs of VERY Expensive shoes purchased by contributions of the "Insane for Change" cult followers! Wonder who got the "Tiffany" purchase of $500...????

Men in power are troublemakers on the global arena. It´s a matter of mentallity. That´s one of the most important reasons to vote for Hillary.

CNN you seem to be running out of ideas...seriously! Let the guy talk about issues....don't become a tabloid newspaper...Pleeeeease!

For those who style themselves "Democrats for McCain" why don't you just call yourselves "Too Childish to Be Allowed a Vote" and have done with it? At least then your tantrum would get you points for honesty, if not intelligence.

I think you looked just "fine" when you came to Montana..

I love your kindness, your genuine sense of humor and the FACT you are right about perserving the constitutional rights for my family and others like us.. AND.. Washingont needs to change.

Yes... We.. Can... and I will vote for you June 3rd and contiue to donate to your campaign.

What you didn't ask him if he wears boxers or briefs? Wow, CNN always goes to the heart of the issues and asks the hard questions! He's not my first pick, but talk about focusing on the ridiculous!

How cynical and smug this forum! I don't think any of us should feel proud behind our computer screens throwing smoldering feces at each other and the candidates. It's time to grow up and stop this bickering. We have managed to make all three candidates look like nut jobs.

Look at Clinton and McCain. They have over 100,000,000$. Don't you think that is elitest.

This while Queen Hillary keeps charging to former donor's credit cards without their consent.

I don't understand how anybody could look at this man or listen to this man and not just know he is exactly what the country needs right now. He is just all that AND a bag of chips! YES WE CAN!

Michelle, Florida- What a racesit statement. I wii pray for you.

Elitist has more to do than how rich you are and how richly you dress. It's a mindset, an outlook. I'm elitist, so I know one when I see one. And Obama, you are an elitist. Why deny it? Why be ashamed of it?

Wait til puffy combs hooks him up, I can't wait to hear you guys talk sh*$t.

I am glad you guys have not seen his BENZO! Man, you really would not like him.....

They just paid off their student loans my goodness!!!!!!

YOU DO NOT HAVE TO EXPLAIN ANYTHING TO ANYBODY ...YOU HAVE ALREADY WON IN MY BOOK......AM SENDING A CHECK TODAY...YOU GOT MY VOTE ...

OBAMA'08

HELLO, you are racist just for making that coment, are you saying just because black people are voting for a black man they're racist? Why is it that white people say such things, if a white person vote for John McCain or Hillary, they're voting because of issues but a black person voting for Obama is racist no what's racist is stupid ignorant comments like that you IDIOT BIGOT. Let me ask you a question, who are you voting for?

first off who gives a crap second why in the hell will cnn let someonewrite things about white people being crackers and not deserving their respect then why cant i say that they need to get over their own lifelong pity party and put into the country and theyll get out o fthe country the same i cant stand this one sided crap and how everyone goes along with it thinkin oh no i better be politically correct you know whats not politicaly correct letting a man into that is going to turn the us government into a free lunch counter and a socialist state and leave us (working white american "good ole boys") with the bill yeah im in the military why cant they join and work they dont have to go to iraq at least serve somehow dont sit on your butts and complain about the people making the way of life work for your sorry butts

Republicans get ready because Obama will be fighting it out with McCain for the Presidency. One of Hillary's top advisers just moved over to Obama. GET READY!!

First NO Lapel Pin , Now he is running out of shoes.

I'm sure Germi , will have some for him. If not Tony will get him a pair , as you know he has 2 left feet. That is why he walks in circles, an talk is the same.

Go Annie Oakley Goooooo

Let's face it. The "elitist" tag was a strategic "name-calling" technique used to influence the PA Primary. The Clintons and McCain are not fools. They know the demographics of the state. They basically were using a code word to rally undereducated whites, blue-collar whites, and white males in general. They were saying, "Look, this black man thinks he's better than you".

How blind do you have to be to not see that? The Clinton's have played the race card before every so-called major primary and I don't expect Indiana to be any different. On one hand you have a unifier and on the other you have a bitter woman seeking to regain control "by any means necessary". Sickening.

Did you forget Obama was not born with a siver spoon in his mouth. He was raised by a single mother who at some point had to depend on food stamps. It was my understanding that you lift yourself up by your booth straps, thats the american dream. Now that he and his wife have obtain the american dream they are now being told you went to far. The american dream for african americans is a high school education and a blue coller job. I don't hear any one objecting to Hillary attending princeton and bill attending oxford in england.

Can't we all get along and support !
OBAMAO8!

The Clintons vacation in Martha's Vineyard, McCain married into millions after calling his first wife unprintable names and during a fundraiser stated that Chelsey Clinton was so ugly because her father was Janet Reno!
And they call Obama Elitist....

I HAVE TO DISAGREE WITH MY BAMA MAN.

OR MAYBE HE IS REGULAR LIKE LINCOLN.

HE HAS THE HEART & SOUL OF REGULAR PEOPLE

& THE VISION OF A VERY BLESSED PERSON.

Unbrainwashed for McCain '08

Uppity....a term used a lot on these blogs...meaning a black person who doesn't "know his/her place." Slavery is over, you lost, get over it.

lol
April 25th, 2008 3:23 pm ET

to late to be a "regular guy", after you berated all the people in PA by calling them all a bunch of bitter, gun toting, bible thumping bigots.
.
.
.
.
.
.
you are an idiot. pay attention... pay attention... pay attention... for when you finally stop and actually pay attention rather than listen, you will realize that what obama said was the truth about what is happening across the country. you should try listening to his speech rather than rally around a single sentence that was taken out of context. this is why america is coming to an end... because of idiots like you who listen but don't pay attention... who voted for 2 bush terms ...who don't go out much to realize that there's more than your 1-mile radius surroundings... and who fail to think with their brain. seriously, don't talk. thanks.

I detest Obama's politics–he's a typical something-for-nothing, soak the "rich", tax and spend, socialist–but his clothes don't have a thing to do with that. Come on people! Can't we stick with substantive things?

Besides, politics aside, what in the world is the objection to having brighter, more competent, people running the country? You want the local village idiot in charge?

Better than having only one pair of underwear...

======WOW, Now Attacking His CLOTHES???====

Oil is $117 now, helloooooooooooo, anybody cares??

Good for you, I've got four shoes also ages 10,8, & 2×1... One for winter one for jog and another for working in the office and a steel toe shoe..

I guess you have 4 shoes for workinging in the capitol.

This is how he thinks he can pretend to be a regular guy? Counting shoes and suits? He's really getting desperate, isn't he?

Clyburn is pathetic. Look at the votes of blacks in all primaries , 90% + blacks vote Obama if that is not race you tell me. I don't think all black people believe what this idiot says about the Clintons. People wake up, it seems to me some of the black people think they own the democratic party, they forget there are some other minorities that matter most than them. Obama has used race all the way now some of his supporters blame the Clintons for the comments made by his former pastor. Obama is so weak in all aspects except talking about race. Clyburn you have turned Obama into a race candidate sorry for that matter he will lose in November if he is the nominee.

Obama, the regular guy, tries to divert attention from the "elitist" issue by talking about his shoes. What about his own statement as to why he's running for president now as opposed to later - "In eight years from now, 10 years from now, we may still be nice people, but we may be in this orbit where we just don’t remember, we don’t hear people’s voices anymore." That quote from Shoeless Barrack speaks more to his elitist character than does his wardrobe.

The DNC and the superdelegates are already on board ship obama, it's just a matter of time before they give hillary the boot. The clinton's need to realize that all there underhanded tactics to steal the nomination will not work, and even if they do manage to win in indiana, they will lose
NC, and that will be the final nail in the coffin. Think about it. The clintons brought race into the election to tear down obama, but they did it too late. Maybe if they launched their plan to destroy the party earlier, they could have stopped obama from getting the pop lead, the delegate lead, most states won, but they didn't do it vigorously enough. Now there trying to pull out all the stops, and though it might have worked in penn, and even though there will be a new spell of pastor wright, and tony rezco the damage is already done. Obama will be the nominee, so hillary will just have to work hard to sabotage his general election campaign so she can run in 2012..

go obama

People who criticize this guy need to reflect on their own choice for president. Elitist? HA!! look at Hillary or John McCain and compare their upbringing. It's funny, a lot of the commercials I see the Clintons running are basically saying – hey look he is just as bad as I am – pathetic.

all nonsense.

Bush 1988
Clinton 1992
Clinton 1996
Bush 2000
Bush 2004

Does this country really want another Bush or Clinton in the White House? That would make a Bush or Clinton as President for 20+year. I don't want a 2-family dynasty in the White House. Enough said.

As a guy, I must agree. I have 4 pairs of shoes too!

Obama's a good guy.

Racist or not. If Obama don't win, we are screwed.

Oh my god... and this is the guy he preaches he wants to stay on topic??!! I DO NOT CARE how many pairs of shoes you have Obama!! And I'm pretty sure each of these "4 pairs" cost a pretty penny!!

-Ana. 2 pairs of shoes. Sandals and sneakers. 'Nuff said.

p.s. If I were Obama... I'd be spending my spit putting out the Rev. fire ONCE AGAIN instead of for shining his shoes.

Can someone inform the people who constantly post that the Clintons have 100 million "in the bank".....34 million went to the government, 10 million went to charities.....they did live and support homes for those eight years! Can you please stop the silliness?????
I am so sick of BO......so really sick.....he talks of bringing unity, yet calls the Clintons racists....says Hillary is the only one being negative, yet has bashed her over and over and over again in mean, personal ways (you're likable enough, Hillary...snubs her at the state of the union, calls her secretive, untrustworthy, divisive, status-quo, claims SHE'S unable to make changes in washington, ..etc...)....claims to be ready to be POTUS, yet two years ago said he couldn't run because.."I think you need to know what you're doing", and has done VERY little for Illinois.....can say things like "typical white person" and no one says a word.....says every voice should be heard, yet has his lawyers and lobbyist stop revotes in MI and FL (someone PLEASE tell me where in our Constitution does it say that any entity has the right to tell 2.5 million Americans that their votes don't count!)....can't debate well, so blames everyone else for his short-comings....constantly insults the ONLY SUCCESSFUL democratic president we've had in DECADES....gets 90% of the black vote, nothing is said, yet Hillary's white voters must be racist.....can say whatever he wants, the media will back him up with excuses.....media has week-long coverage of "black in America" and "Race and Politics" YET NOT ONE STORY ABOUT WOMEN'S HISTORY MONTH IN MARCH and NEVER COVERAGE CALLED "GENDER AND POLITICS" or "WOMEN AND POLITICS"........

CAN JUST ONE OF YOU GUYS PLEASE EXPLAIN ANY OF THIS?????

Now Obama tries to divert attention from the "elitist" issue by talking about his shoes. Geeze! What about his own statement as to why he's running for president now as opposed to later - "In eight years from now, 10 years from now, we may still be nice people, but we may be in this orbit where we just don’t remember, we don’t hear people’s voices anymore." That quote from Shoeless Barrack speaks more to his elitist character than does his wardrobe.

Senator Obama is the only person in the contest that knows something about growing up in main stream America. McCain and Hillary have lived a majority of their privileged lives away from the hustle and bustle common folk deal with and neither can understand nor identify with the lifestyle of those earning less than 50K a year.

It is really funny when John MacCain and Hillary Clinton try to convince us that Obama is an elitist. How can someone from the Southside of Chicago be an elitist? This guy toiled and toiled owing shool fees arears for such a long time.

And look who is feeding us the crap! John MacCain and his wife, with 100s of $Million Dollars. They even find it difficult to report their income/tax returns.

Then take a look at Hillary Clinton! 8years in Arkansas Govt House, then 8years in the White House, then 8years in the Senate; now she wants another 8years in the White House!!

Who is fooling who???

The posts are moderated so we dont really know what people think by reading this board. It's likely this post wont make it. I do think it's rediculous to watch 3 millionares argue over who is elitists as the rest of us regular folks watch in horror as the American ship SINKS.

Clintons: 109M
McCain wife: 100M
Obama: 4M.

Hmm..who is elitist?

People, people, people.... Just stop!
Who has the most money... Who has the most clothes... Who has the most shoes....
Is this helping us at all??? If we focus on things that benefit us, we may be able to better ourselves.
All three candidates have money but Obama has the least and is drawing more people to the democratic party. Regardless if you like him or not, just make sure your disagreement have legs and is not simply just spreading hate like it appears some of you are!
Peace!

regular guy that regularly plays the race card to win.

But since all Afro-Americans are already voting for Obama and are already fired up with racial tensions, what does Obama gain, re-playing the race card?

There are no more Black votes out there to get.

And we all know The Clintons aren't racist.

If African Americans continue to try to label the Clintons racist, it will backfire. White America will not vote for Obama if he continues these lies and attacks on the Clintons. We do not need a race war. Some uniter Obama is.

The only way this guy will ever change Washington is to move the capital to Chicago. Then he and his preacher can change America to their liking.

I am so sick of BO......so really sick.....he talks of bringing unity, yet calls the Clintons racists....says Hillary is the only one being negative, yet has bashed her over and over and over again in mean, personal ways (you're likable enough, Hillary...snubs her at the state of the union, calls her secretive, untrustworthy, divisive, status-quo, claims SHE'S unable to make changes in washington, ..etc...)....claims to be ready to be POTUS, yet two years ago said he couldn't run because.."I think you need to know what you're doing", and has done VERY little for Illinois.....can say things like "typical white person" and no one says a word.....says every voice should be heard, yet has his lawyers and lobbyist stop revotes in MI and FL (someone PLEASE tell me where in our Constitution does it say that any entity has the right to tell 2.5 million Americans that their votes don't count!)....can't debate well, so blames everyone else for his short-comings....constantly insults the ONLY SUCCESSFUL democratic president we've had in DECADES....gets 90% of the black vote, nothing is said, yet Hillary's white voters must be racist.....can say whatever he wants, the media will back him up with excuses.....media has week-long coverage of "black in America" and "Race and Politics" YET NOT ONE STORY ABOUT WOMEN'S HISTORY MONTH IN MARCH and NEVER COVERAGE CALLED "GENDER AND POLITICS" or "WOMEN AND POLITICS"........

CAN JUST ONE OF YOU GUYS PLEASE EXPLAIN ANY OF THIS?????

Elitist, not elitist... as if ANYBODY who's running for president isn't elitist! Anyone who compares themselves to everyone else in the country and decides, "I need to be in charge of all these other people" is the very definition of an elitist.

So people need to get off this silly "elitist" meme. If you don't want to vote for an elitist, then you better pack it in, 'cuz you'll never get to vote for ANYbody.

Is there anything we wont accuse Obama of doing? Every candidate dresses nice. What is he supposed to do show up wearing tore up jeans a flannel shirt and a budweiser hat? I think this "elitist" crap is getting old. Soon the media and everyone against Obama will have to start coming up with new labels to slap on him when they run out of the ones they are using now.

Hey "HELLO"

Wow, you are an idiot. So now blacks are racist if they vote for Obama? So does that make women voting for Clinton, sexist????

Obama has more street cred than anyone who's ever been a serious candidate. I mean, good God, the man was a community organizer on the Southside.

MY GOODN ESS YOU PEOPLE – Have you not had enough of Clinton/Bush??? You can't expect to get change with ones who have not proven themselves. Peope who are voting for Hillary are not voting for her but for her husband. It will just be the SAME OLD TUNE in Washington. GO OBAMA 08

Obama is a regular guy. He is in this election because he strongly feels an urgency to fix the broken government that has been hijacked by lobbysts. The Clintons are in this because they want to use the presidency to make millions of dollars.
One wonders why Bill did not get involved in some human rights cause like Carter and Gore. Instead he chose to make millions of dollar as a lobbyst for China, Canada, Qatar, Colombia to promote trade deals that ship american jobs abroad. I doubt he will stop if Hillary is elected.

I guess he should be busting a sag with his white t. This story is stupid. Can we discuss something importatant???

All three of the guys left in the race are not regular!!!!

It is amazing what some people will make an issue out of. Senator Obama had to defend the clothes in his closet? Seriously?

First, it is an issue that he doesn't wear a flag pin (neither do Senators Clinton and McCain–but neither get asked about it). Now, it is an issue that he dresses in a respectable manner. Senator McCain wears suits. Senator Clinton wears pant suits. Why is it an issue when Senator Obama wears the same? Talk about a double standard.

That is hilarious. I was telling my husband the other day, that his suits are hideous...LOL.

Another person for fair moderation....maybe they don't like Blacks posting...as it doesn't coincide with the MSM non message.

I love Obama and am praying he gets the nomination. What is sad is that because he doesn't fit some peoples stereotype of what a black man should be he's elitist. That from McSame who's wife is worth millions and Hill and Bill also worth millions.

Actually Barack I am not voting for you because of how many suits, shoes or any other attire you may own. You are not experienced enough to run this country right now with all its problems.

I buy five of the same suits and 4 pair of shoes, I cannot buy anymore, I need to push to race more money so beside being a good speaker I will be an elitist.

Hillary 08

Obama never came from a filthy rich family...yes, he is a very intelligent man, but elitist? I don't think so, he has done to many good things for his community as Senator.

The silly things people come up with. Now his clothes are to expensive...sheesh, give me a break!

He only needs four pairs and they are all for his left foot.

Yeah right as my teenagers say. A regular guy that you can drink a beer with after work and talk about that a hole of a boss you work for.

We know what you are and what you intend to do with my country and we will not let you do it.
Sayonarra Obama.
Say hello to Akers, Wright and Farankhan for me. 3 regular guys.

And Cindy McCain wears million dollar suits and Hillary shops at Kmart, so what who cares...........We love Sanator Obama and he'll be our next president.

You do not need to have a lot of fancy clothes and an Imelda Marcos size shoe closet to be pompous.

McCain is a low-life.

Obama '08

We love in Va. Barack!!!! You are already a winner not just the Presidency just for being who you are...

"Obama forever"

I guess that any REGULAR guy would never go to the same church where a Pastor shout expletives about the white race and about America.

Any real REGULAR guy would have left that church 19.5 years ago instead of remaining there and being BRAIN WASHED.

Perhaps I am old fashioned, but I can't buy this ""I'm a regular guy"" kind of nonsense. Unfortunately for Barack, I need a bit more than words, nice, dreaming or honey-coated.

I've been chastising Obama supporters for being mean but I think some of that has rubbed off on the Clinton supporters.

Comon people please don't sink to their level.

Is this supposed to be news or informative of anything of substance? Please, lets get back to the real issues, ie. the war in Iraq, weak economy, 4 dollar a gallon gas, and returning America to being a respected world leader.

Those of you making issue about Obama's dress are fueling non-issues and waisting both your and our time.

God! Obama really makes me feel sick!

You are a "regular guy"???? haha! Make me think of "typical white people"

Yeah a regular guy...

Who went to Harvard, became a lawyer, makes 4 million a year, won Illionis as a Senator using the fame of his victimization preaching pastor, is running for the highest office and yet still wants us real "ordinary" Americans to think he is not an elitist.

Yeah sure.., and tell us regular JoeObama, how much did those shoes costs??

Lol @ street cred. Barack is too funny!

OBAMA '08

WHAT A FAKE. LOVES TO PREACH HATE, HATE, HATE.

HILLARY 08!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

No you are not a regular guy... you are a politician running for president!!!

Just be who you are Obama. Continue to do what you have and continue to return to the basics of what you believe even when you occasionally get baited into the petty crap. It happens to everyone and you have conducted yourself better than anyone I have ever seen. Your message of hope and change are not just lines of bull like we have heard so many times before. You are the first politician I have contributed to in my 20 years since I was old enough to vote.

What does his wardrobe have to do with him being elitist or not?

OH my goodness, that is so ricidulous that people are saying that Obama is an elitist and looks too much like a GQ cover! Just because he is a good looking man and dresses nice doesn't mean he is an elitist! What about all those old white Republicans who wear stuffy suits all the time, are they being criticized for what they wear? Is it simply because Obama is an African American that we are pointing out his nice attire? Would we be doing it if he was white?? I'm so sick of this kind of media coverage and politicking. All Obama wants to do is talk about the real issues the American people are concerned about, but everyone else wants to criticize the man for his choice of clothing. Come on!

To "isn't it ironic" at 3:11 pm.

And this is the ultimate irony for HRC supporters:

Senator Inevitable, Senator "it'll be wrapped up by Feb 5", Senator "ignore the small states, we can win with the big ones alone" is losing!!!

Or you could choose: Senator "superdelegates needn't go with how their constituencies voted – they should go wtih who they think is best suited to be President" is about to lose because superdelegates are doing exactly that and they are coming to the conclusion that it is Obama and not her who is best suited!

lol, lol, lol

How many rivers do he have to cross. o' BOY.

Guess, they want to see you as their Boy........

Well, they have already call you that name., A BOY, A TERRORIST, AN ELITIST.
wE ARE NOT SURPRISE!~

LET THEM CALL YOU ALL THE NAMES IN THE BOOK.

You being a regular guy sir is what is so appealing. You get what we need because you are one of us and you have what it takes to make it happen.

OBAMA 08

Con men are self made to.

He is right

People who know him and his struggle know he doesnt have to prove anything to anybody

And even if he was GQ all the time, so what. He earned it. He earned the right to look nice and live nice because he worked HARD!!!

CNN is becoming pathetic!! You should be ashamed of yourself for reducing your election coverage to even below Fox standards.

Is this guy from outer space or what?

A tour of your closet Mr. Obama doesn't really Americans concerns regarding your ethical and moral credo–but nice try.

Is that 4 dress shoes...or 4 total...dress, casual, tennis, golf,....etc?

McCain or Hillary, not this clown.

Geez people! Lighten up! It was a joke.

BTW, Hillary is in serious need of a stylist.

As an Indepentant Obama'a ability to relate to working people is the very reason I voted for him in the first place another is his ablity as an unifier is very appealing to me. the fact that he is a young man determined to bring truth to the white house and that he is intelligent and the most sincere of all the candidates.

I thought only ADULTS were able to vote in a president, all of this rev. wright and other nonsense are thoughts for teenagers to stay focused on what about the issues at hand? This country as it is, is the pits we need a new way of approaching things the old is not working and the other old people can only give us old solutions, that's all they know! They have ran their course it's time for someone FRESH, UNCORRUPTED to lead us in the directions we need to go in. The world is changing we need to be able to keep up with changes.

Some of the most arragant and wealthy people dress like bums,
so why does he think he is just a regular guy because he has 4 pair
of shoes?

WHO CARES................

Great the Obama, you should have enough shoes so you can walk the beat so to speak and check out the job market. You will need the 4 pair after these elections are over.

You know what I found really telling? I saw a picture of him a few weeks ago in which he had one leg resting across the other. You could see the bottom of his shoe. It had a hole in it. A pretty big one at that.

Is this news? When will be get back to the ISSUES? We are In a CRISIS, we are in DEBT, we are losing JOBS! We are in a mess...... please CNN get back to what you do best. Shoes? Who cares?

What a scam! It is not about the suit. And shame on the media for calling this news. Forget about the serious questions about me – look at my suit!

"didn't feel the need to go out of his way to prove ...." I guess he likes bowling and drinking beer and eating waffles in public with a camera crew. Do you really think we are that gullible? He is doing nothing BUT going out of his way to pretend he is anyhting but what he is.

Obama is an elitist in attitude toward Americans, and a slick, rich, connected, ivy-league lawyer, who tells his followers what they want to hear in vague terms, that can never be pinned down. And he engineered blocking FL and MI and is backed by big oil and other not-so-cute lobbies. And lies about it. And smiles all the while.

That is called politics as usual.

lol
get a life

To whom this may concern,
Barack Obama is a reg GUY . Conceding what Bill and Hill has for income . 109.million and she never released her 2007 tax return .
But she said it was 20million dollars.
And lets not forget the rich rich rich McCain and his wife with her beer cop.
To Barack and his wife combined income salary . Of 260.00 and gave 0.5% to Charity . 246.000 . They are living off his book money .
Of 3 million .
So yes they are reg peoples.
Also . He was still paying for his and his wife's . Collage loan ., OK yes they are reg people .

Obama needs to focus on his message of change and not get deterred no matter what they throw at him

As far as the Clinton s i have no respecht for them , an as far as Mc Cain , he is just another selfish Busch . you cant teach an old Dog new Tricks , America Wake up , you saw what happen 8 years ago . you see the Result . now . Obama is the one who can bring People Together

Mr. Obama I thank God for you daily. Keep trying your best to pull us above the small things that separate us. I want you to know that you have inspired me to be a better person. I look differently at race and even the world. I know it gets hard sometimes but keep up the good work.

The fact that Obama beilevs that we are so uneducated that we thing that there is a correlation between the numer of pairs of shoes one has and their power PROVES he is an elitist talking down to us!!!!! HAHAHAHA !!! LEMMINGS!!!! Don't evn see that you're being dissed by Obama!!!!! HAHAHAHHAHA!!!

Of course he's a regular guy, that's the beauty of it – he can relate because he's always related! FOLKS! READ HIS BOOKS, TWICE IF YOU HAVE TO, and you will find out this is the same person, so much so it's uncanny.

What's the matter with us – are we going to count the hairs on his head – there is only one person who can do that, and that is God – he actually KNOWS the number of the hairs on our heads!

This hounding of Obama is ridiculous and very wrong. I hope it won't take an act of God to show us how wrong we've been in this campaign.

The definition of elitist is:a group of persons who by virtue of position or education exercise much power or influence....it has nothing to do with your clothing or how many pairs of shoes you have...

Cnn I'm sure he said something a little more worthwhile about being called an elitist. Like his wife said, they may have degrees from I.V. league schools but the lens in which they see the world is from the ones they grew up with.

Obama is an ordinary guy who made himself who he is. He made himself the person he is through hard work. I do not know how Hillary calls him elitist. What is she gone be if he takes that title away from her like the nomination for the presidency. Now she is the real bitter. Ha-ha. Leave the guy alone and discuss issues. If you do not have any point to make get out of the way than damaging the party.

Oh so now their attacking his clothes??? What does the man have to do – switch clothes with a homeless guy to be elected? Make about $10k a year to be even lower that Hillary's $109 mil? Is this the only way he can "relate" to blue collar voters – forget the issues that's really concerning you voters, Obama LOOKS too much like a president don't vote for him!!! Give me a break!!! This is by far the ooooddest campaign ever.

OBAMA 08

I love this about Barack. He is a genuinely nice man, with a good sense of humor. Another reason I support him!!!

GOBAMA!!!

he doesnt have a 100 million in the bank like Clinton or MCSAME
you tell me who the elitists are!!!

to late to be a "regular guy", after you berated all the people in PA by calling them all a bunch of bitter, gun toting, bible thumping bigots.

Save money on suits, More money for the Campaign.

Maybe Sen. Clinton should have used that tactic. By the way, Ma'am...My family would like their campaign contributions back, we'd like to redirect those to the nominee.

People just hating because the brother is fine...

what Senator Obama says may be true, but unfortunately the only spin in the media you hear about him are the characterizations by his opponents. If he were to explain his history a little more often then the elite tag would be seen for what it is more political trash talk by the Clintons and repugs.

Octopus?????

joyce in arkansas
i posted a comment and sent it with my hubsands name on it (jerral) sorry

Barack, it's not about your closet, your choice of clothes, shoes, etc...you of all people should know the meaning of elitist and arrogance.

Choose your words my dear. It gets you into trouble. Perhaps simply because you mean them and can't hide that elitism within.

yeahhh that is how we know him,Go Obama,

the elitists are clinton and her entourage........ask her how many homes she has
ask her how often she hangs in Martha's vineyard, or Nantucket,
ask her how many outfits she has and how many sets of jewely
ask her where does chelsea go to school?
or even to be a bit more personal and direct, to the point,
ask her where does she gets her wine, beer, and cheese...
(all made in foreign countries) so much for supporting things being made in this country and supporting the blue collar workers..

what a joke they are, to use people like that, and say they want to help us..
she might have with teh help of CNN and Fox wrapped the senior citizens of PA and the few workers, but that wont last much..
most people know who the elitists are, who feels entitled to the presidency while the people say NO the show she is way behind could not catch up

but hey an elitist and money hungry person like her .............would say and do whatever it takes, they the clintons remind me so much of the Latin american dictators...............

does four pairs of shes include one pair of sandals? Cause if thats the case I got 3 pairs.

Eeeewwwwww....Jeez CNN, I hate when you print this type of story, I always start gagging a little bit. Next thing we know he'll be claiming he's got a pair of Red Wing boots, like lots of farmers, tucked away somewhere. Maybe there's some hiking boots, and not one pair of athletic shoes? How about a manly toolbelt?

CNN: Please stop trying to make my head explode. Because I know there's some crazy out there that will have counted (or made up) the number of pantsuits Hillary has and it's going to be Hillary's fault somehow, someway.

Try as hard as he might, he's not just a regular guy, and more importantly he's never wanted to be just a regular guy.

I think he is a normal guy. That is what scares the other politicians.

Obama is a man a very strong man and should be respected. But no, there are those who won't be satisfied until he's nailed to the cross. Is this how black our hearts have become? We need to stick to the issues.

What an idiot!!!

president obama
i am a 65 year old white lady in arkansas and i just love you and your family. i feel as if i know you personally and would be greatly honored to meet you. my idol was elvis and sir you are right up beside him. i knowq you will bring change just as elvis did. at first no one wanted to accept him now he went down in hist9ory as the best of the best of intertainers and as a person for his generocity and care for other people. and you sir fit his shoes wll and you wear them well. arkansas looks forward to calling you our greast president in history. i reaad the story on you and your mother on new yorks times net and i feel you come from a mother like mine was. so wonderful
go obama all way to pennsyvania ave. along with socha, makia and micheall,god bless yousir

Real newsworthy CNN. If it gets people to drop the "elitist" stance, though, I'm all for it.

When he shows up wearing an alarm clock around his neck on a gold chain and his pants down so far you can see his underwear, THEN I'll take a crack at the way he dresses. After all, I go around wearing lederhosen and a Van Halen concert shirt all week and nobody says I'm ineligible to run for president.

After the repeated viewings of the banana pantsuit, the turquoise pantsuit and the the adobe rust pantsuit, we are questioning Obama's wardrobe????

You must be kidding!

SOME PEOPLE BEG FOR MONEY ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD BUT HAVE THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS. ITS CALLED PLAYING THE PART

Obama, Obama, Obama. CNN's bias is very clear.

OBAMA YOUR SUCH A SMOOTH CON MAN. FOUR PAIR OF SHOES AND A MANSION FROM YOUR CON MAN FROM ILL. YOU SHOULD OF NOT EVEN THAUGHT ABOUT RUNNING IN THIS RACE. YOUR NOT WHAT REAL ENOUGH TO BE OUR LEADER. HRC IS RED,WHITE AND BLUE ALL THE WAY.

OBAMA BE WHO YOU ARE WIN OR LOSE,GOD KNOWS WHO YOU ARE. FROM ALL THE COMMENTS I"VE READ, MICHELLE WAS RIGHT AMERICAN IS A VERY MEAN COUNTRY.

Since folks have felt free to comment on Hillary's pant suits no reason they shouldn't take on Obama's closet...this is so frustrating to be the level of banality this race has come to....focus on the issues, focus on the leadership, we have a race to win in November!

This guy just paid his student loan few years back. He is the american dream. single mother didn't have anything and He worked hard and get to where he is. This is 99% of poor and middle income American dream. That is the reason I love this guy. He is very good example of everyday american life. I will work hard for Obama If he wanted me to work, if I have to go door to door i will do it.
Obama 08/12

Jesus wept. What next? Do they want him to wear a Buffalo plaid shirt or, maybe, a dashiki? Wouldn't that go over swell? Bet there is a lot of voters out there that think he should be wearing a pair of bib overalls. Did anyone ever see HRC wear the same outfit. And those suits of hers aren't cheap folks.

that's the problem. Most of the country DOESN'T know him. He's a good speaker so the young are easily led with phrases like, "It's your turn to run the country" etc. It looks like the majority of blacks hear the nice speeches and see only the color of his skin, he's one of us, so he understands us. What about the rest of the country. You don't have to be black to understand all races, young, old, blue collar, well educated, high school drop outs.

Not only are you a regular guy, but you are presidential material. I want a president that can be respect by the citzens of this country.
OBAMA08

He is a regular guy with character. Just because Hillary looks awful in her pant suits, don't trash Obama for looking good in a suit. What's next, are people going to go through his trash and moan that he uses real butter or olive oil?

The Obama supporters are so big on rules...
please read up on the rules governing the superdelegates and the intended role of those superdelegates.

If Obama wins by cheating that is no win at all.

Obama is a good man and the best candidate we have left. He is only a millionaire now because his book sales skyrocketed once he ran for president. Prior to that his wife and him were making much less than what most Harvard graduates make. Good for him, he wrote 2 excellent books and they have paid off for him. He is far from an elitist.

It seems that people mistake confidence in who you are as being elitist. Of course, Senators Clinton and John McCain continue to perpetuate such silliness.

He may only have four pairs of shoes, but he's got millions of votes, and the American people's resolve to change Washington, D.C.. More votes, I might add than Hillary or McCain.

We're with you Barack, don't give up. Remember you are the front runner.

No liars or warmongers in MY White House.

Barack 08 !!!!

GO OBAMA!!!!

KEEP BEING YOURSELF, DO NOT LET ANYONE CHANGE YOU, BECAUSE WE LOVE EVERYTHING ABOUT YOU, AND YOU NEED TO BE PRESIDENT!!!

WE ARE DYING FOR YOU TO BE PRESIDENT!!

OBAMA 08!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Obama you play racist card when you go south.
I am convince now that black people are more racist.
look at the way they vote including Oprah.

Don't worry Barack- we know you are a regular guy.No one is asking Hillary where she got that fancy pant suit and those diamond earrings from.

This is the ultimate irony for the Obama supporters (the smart and educated people) to ponder:

IF Obama is our nominee, it is because the Washington Insiders that he speaks against (Superdelegates) GIVE the nomination to him.

It will NOT be because he convinced the electorate with his inspiring words of hope and change.

Hillary STILL got 50% of the vote even being sabotaged and throttled and handicapped.

regular cheating, lying politician who will steal this nomination.

We must be getting close to the south again. Lets face it, men don't need much more then a clean shirt and a different tie. Poor me, I'm just like the rest of you. All politicians will say or do anything to win.

Oh for god's sake CNN!!!! Get a life!

This isn't entertainment tonight!

When are you going to start asking McCain tough questions – let us start parsing his words.

Regular guy for Hamas.

THERE CAN'T BE AN EXAMPLE OF A MORE REGULAR GUY,

STRUGGLING TO GET AN EDUCATION & SOME HELP FORE

OTHER TO DO THE SAME. ONLY HATERS CAN HAVE A

PROBLEM WITH THAT.

Apparently Barack Obama should be dressing like a homeless man to placate the rank and file.

More tabloid trash!

My goodness this is the biggest story you can come up with CNN I am telling you the huffing post has been doing a better job of getting relevant news out than CNN lately!

Go Obama 08 Yes We Can

Are we saying that the McCains and Clintons aren't elitist and Obama is? McCain's wife is worth more than 100 million and the Clintons make so much money they won't even release their 2007 tax returns. Please, lets be realistic about this. Obama is about as elitist as Jack Cafferty!

idiot.

Obama is so far removed from an elitist it's been absurd to hear the Clintons and McCain call him elitist for political gain.

If people haven't bothered to research all the candidates by now, we know they won't be making informed voting decisions any time this century.

As far as I'm concerned, the arguments that are dead and now look old and tired are elitist, religion, black vote, etc. So what? Bring on Iraq, Afghanistan, mortgages, healthcare, education, re-training programs, revamping the trade policies, create and bring back jobs, environment issues, bringing Congress together to get something done for a change, involving voters to stay in touch with government issues, watching c-span more...you get the idea?

About as down to earth as the Clintons? I don't think so..............

He seems like a normal kind of guy for me who wants what I have wanted as long as I could vote.. Change washington!!!

Obama 08

Heres a quote from Hillary in the North Carolina Republican on
Jan. 10, 2008.

"I will not withdraw the troops from Iraq".

Now this is news, how is it possible that a person not connected to the news can find this quote but reporter's can't. The news media would rather look in church or print what someone Obama knew years ago 'said' than any real negative stories about Hillary. Who is paying whom here?

No matter what he's wearing, he's looking down his nose at people. He doesn't want the NAACP to support him b/c he would seem too black (why black people vote for him anyway, I'm not sure). He's lying and saying he disagreed with the pastor whose church he sat in for 20 years. How much of this stuff are people going to believe? Does he really think voters are that dumb?

There is NOTHING special about Barack Obama.

Vote Hillary!

Please use those shoes to stroll the Senate floor some more because you have no experience.

He certainly does dress better than McClinton ! Is she competing with the Queen of England for bad style ?
