Hello Pot… this is Kettle!

You have GOT to be kidding me… Hillary, Hillary, Hillary… you didn't just say that did you?

LOL

I am 100% supportive of Obama but I actually am leaning towarding hope that Clinton gets the party nomination now so that we can all vote for McCain in the general election and shut her up once and for all…

So now Hillary Clinton is attacking McCain for not doing enough to stop GOP's Rev. Wright ads, but she made a big deal out of the controversy in the first place? I have a headache.

Common Sense '08!

If Hillary is smart…

…she will stay out of this….

hillary
how nice of you to say what you say, i for one are not stupid. you saod it to make you look better in the eyes of voters. you would have said it if mcsain had not beat you to it

Wow…..is it a nobel act from Clinton?

whatever the motive, I appreciate her effots, even if its for political gain

SHAME ON MCCAIN, AND SHAME ON THE REPUBLICAN PARTY!!

And for those who says Obama is scared to answer these questions, refer to his interview with Chris Wallace, he did an EXCELENT job answering these stupid questions

NOW CAN WE MOVE ON!!

DEMOCRATS IN 08!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

don't think that mccain needs to do anything to stop commercials on rev. wright in NC or any where else…. the comments made by Rev. wright today at the Natl press club in DC have more than thrown enough fuel on the flames…. i bet today that obama is just cussin' up a storm on the rev's newest remarks…..
mmcain/rice08!

Oh man, this is so hypocritical on HIllary's part! She has criticized Obama about Wright on so many occasions I lost count. And now she expects McCain to do more than write a letter to stop Reps in NC from using a negative ad on Obama? You first Hillary! McCain has every right to use negative politics just like you and, yes, the "positive-only" Obama have done for the past several months. I know that you are desparate for votes, but this is ridiculous. Hopefully the American people have more common sense than to buy into this. What democrat of recent memory has reigned in their own party's ads because they are too negative, an ad which McCain did not even have made. This election season is sheer madness.

If anyone in this election can beat McCain it's Senator Clinton.

Are you serious…..when it's been reported that the clintons and the clinton campaign makes behind the scene phone calls to superdelegates reminding them of the Rev. Wright Drama and why this is going to "hurt" Obama in the fall during the GE if he's the nominee….You have got to be kidding me….come on NC and IN, shut this thing down so Obama can honestly "unite" the party and win in November. What a great thanksgiving it's going to be this year.

Playing both sides against the middle - a true politician. Not even an amoeba shape changes this much. i would say two-faced but the track record speaks for itself…anything to get the votes… thats all that matters. Who cares about ethics and standards, as long as the votes rack up….ncie lesson for the kids - win at any cost

Ohh Wow, now she is the angel. Talk about Split Personalities. And her supporters think that she is the better choice. My Goodness, does this mean that several million of Americans are mindless????

ohh billary
billary
we dont believe you!!!!
no matter what CNN and the biased media say…………

you are a Liar!!!

She says she would not have stayed in that church for 20 years….

Hillary….Rev. Wright was good enough to pick you and your cheating husband up off the floor and offer spiritual advise to the both of you and both of you took it willingly. He didnt judge you…he did was Pastors do…and that is provide spiritual guidance. He was in your inner circle for years as well….now all of the sudden you would have dropped him like a bad habit???

Im sure you have some heavily paid groups that are donating to the organizations that are running those ads. You make me sick.

Two-timing backstabbing liar. Are you sure you are not sleeping with McCain?….off the record of course!

The great cackler is still talking about it herself in the pretense of admonishing McCain. And she is still trying to tear down Obama by reiterating that she wouldn't have stayed in the church. She is such a phony!

Its not just McCain that can do more. The news media is making a huge issue out of something when they for some reason refrain from airing the whole of the comments made my Rev. Wright. Anyone can take snippits of remarks made and turn them into something ugly and destructive. Just as now its all about those white blue colar voters. It is a huge issue because the media (mostly CNN) makes it a huge issue. I am actually disappointed with all of this division of votes based upon race, age, gender, and socioeconomic status. You can not resolve issues of division by race, age, gender, and socioeconomic status when you continue to draw distinction based upon those factors. Why cant you say blue colar workers, vs "WHITE" blue color workers, it is you that is drawing the distinction and creating the thought of division based upon race and socioeconomic status. So stop it will ya.

It says a lot when Rev. Wright gets more press in a day than Berry Obama…

This is a really really odd comment coming from Hillary Clinton - if you all know what I mean.

Wow, Clinton is sticking up for Obama! I am frightened. I cannot possibly imagine what kind of angle she is trying to play here.

Hillary is attacking McCain for Rev. Wright? Has this woman no shame. No one pounded the Wright issue more and it took her a week to respond to this ad. She is incapable of shame!
Oh, I forgot, "Hillary is 60 and can't be held accountable for loss of memeory.

Although I'm a Obama support I think that Clinton shows good character in condemning those RNC ads. Maybe I can start to like her again.

"I regret the efforts by the Republicans to politicize this matter" - does she even believe herself when she says stuff like this? I bet even Karl Rove is impressed with Clinton's campaign.

McCain has the ability to stop the ads, but he obviously doesn't want to do so. He enjoys the attention this plays on the democratic primary.

I'm glad that Hillary pointed this out in her stern reproach of McCain. It's McCain's race, not the Republican's. If he denounced and complained to the media outlets then they would block the ads. But McCain isn't going to do that.

But this goes to show one thing very clearly. Obama has "baggage" that will hurt him in the General Election.

Simply saying,
Wynter

North Caroline and Mississippi are two of the most racist and right wing states in the country, you win points in those states if you play on racial fears. Look what happened to Harold Ford Jr in Tennesse. I guess the right is doing the same tactics they accuse the left of doing;

playing on emotion instead of winning on issues.

so,she propagates this bull,then wonders why the republicans use it.is she finally getting it?

Why should he.
Besides–this isn't about chastising Rev. Wright's hateful, racist, and vulgar preaching–or Mr. Obama's 20 year coma. According to Rev. Wright–this is an attack on the black churches of America.

Typical liberal.
Point out one controversial preacher of the "holy mackerel" and next thing you know all conservatives are attacking the black church's—and Rev. Wright's Momma.

Whut up w/ dat?

Clinton is only speaking out because ex polls showed she played so dirty in the PA race. She is only trying to turn the tide towards McCain to keep from drowning herself.

TYPICAL CLINTON POLITICS!!!

I wish she hadn't said that. I was hoping she would say no comment to anything involving Rev. Wright, only because it's a given that the media and the Obama supporters/campaign will twist that around to blame her for whatever they can think up.

masain
you are a liar and a cheat
you are on tv right now and bashing obama and the rev wright. you just said you are giveing youe campaign a green light to bash them both. what a liar and fraud. old man you are rotten to the core no good liar

Obama supporters that are African Americans:

I understand your wish to vote for Obama because he is the "black" candidate. However, in my view, he is half black and half white. He is both. One would think he could unite both, but he hasn't. Why? His lack of experience at showing TRUE leadership.

I support Clinton because she is the most experienced candidate…and I hardly think 34 Flag Staff Generals would support her if she had not made an impression with them while she was on the Senate Arms Committee.

Mr. Obama, could have made an impression on HIS committee, and certainly influenced the war in Afghanistan, however, he did not do anything. He was too busy campaigning.

Clinton commented twice in one day to a reporter's DIRECT question.
Mr. Obama called her divisive for weeks….I guess she is NOT supposed to answer direct questions…that is an ARROGANT stance.
Bush is arrogant, but Obama even tops Bush…amazing.

He has turned off Clinton supporters with his slyness….because those of us that are experienced SEE RIGHT THROUGH it! He started heaving the mud when he questioned Clinton's character and attacked her PERSONALLY instead of really going to issues. Had he actually accomplished something during his State Senate and US Senate…well this campaign might have a different outcome. He is the one that has divided the Democratic party with his "Staged" outrage. I am still waiting to hear more details from him instead of just copying Clinton's plans.

Wait Wait Wait, Clinton is saying that someone else is being mean to Barack?

I guess she has a point to be upset, tearing Obama down is her specialty. How dare McCain try to be a Republican.

you know what lets the ads go much like Clinton Mc Cain will come to understand that the people whom support Obama do so knowing those ads they do not mean anything to his supporters that is why he fund raising and polls are not changing. The republican fear machine no longer works!!!!

Go Obama 08 Yes We Can

well, this is where she's wrong again. the NC or MS GOP parties will not and do not have to listen to McCain at all.

If only you had answered this way when the story broke. Still, better late than never, and thank you for speaking out.

Hillary Clinton is shameless, she's just trying to get some black votes on the eve of North Carolina's primary.

She never told her surrogates like Lanny Davis and Harold Ickes to stop bringing this up on TV, print and to superdelegates!

She's a lying hypocrite.

WHAT A HYPOCRITE!!! HER CAMP IS THE ONE WHO LEAKED THE REV WRIGHT VIDEO TO THE MEDIA IN THE FIRST PLACE. ALSO, WHAT ABOUT WHEN HILLARY'S CAMP LEAKED A PHOTO OF OBAMA WEARING A SOMALI ROBE, AS TO INSINUATE SOMETHING TOTALLY OFF BASE AND IDIOTIC. WHAT THE CACKLING WITCH FAILED TO REALIZE IS THAT SHE TOO HAS BEEN PHOTOGRAPGHED WEARING ROBES AS WELL.

The GOP is attempting to further dim the light of freedom of speech and
make sure that Mc Cain does not get Black Votes. The GOP does not
care that Rev.Wright was in the Marines for two years, and in the Navy for
four years. So why would this be a surprise for Mc Cain, is this a senior
moment?

Right, and the Republicans should also stop using Osama Bin Laden in their fear-mongering ads. Oh, wait….. that wasn't the Republicans…

These are cheap words Hillary. I am sure your camp is happy about the Ads. Do not be a hypocrite. After all she has been more negative than that: The Fear Tatics.

In church yesterday, I listened to a Catholic priest preached about Hope Vs fear. It struck me that Obama is preaching Hope while Hillary is instilling fear into the minds of the American people.

Hope Vs Fear

Hope Factor => Obama
Fear Factor => Hillary

I followed the last two democratic primaries in Ohio and Pennsylvania and have deduced that most Americans live in fear. In realizing that, Sen. Hillary Clinton has embarked on the fear factor to secure her wins. She was able to instill fear into the minds of the undecided voters with her fear and negatives ads. What a way to win.

From a spiritual perspective, people should leave in Hope and not fear. Does Hillary have any Religious affiliation? It is surprising to see that a high percentage of Catholics embrace Hillary. Are they being indoctrinated into Hillary’s spiritual beliefs? A true Christian should belief in Hope and not Fear.

If people continue to live in fear, there will always be mistrust, divisiveness, and wars. Hope is what we need to counteract fear, which will bring people together and ultimately help Americans work together as a United Nation.

Clinton HAS to say this. If it appears that McCain is denouncing the ads but Clinton isn't, it looks HORRIBLE for her.

I love how the media is desperately trying to cast this race as being close, like they are TRYING to make sure Obama doesn't win Indiana.

96% of polling puts Obama doing better than Clinton nationally, ONE poll surfaces that puts her up, and that is the huge news. That she is now more electable?

What about the three polls from yesterday that put HIM ahead?

Clinton has already said polls are near meaningless, though I doubt she will think so of this new poll.

Even if Obama loses Indiana, he still HAS to be given the nomination by virtue of the fact that he is the winner. Everyone is going to flip if Obama loses Indiana, nobody is going to flinch when Obama wins NC.

Which is funny because everyone knew Clinton was going to win Penn. That was HER state, but they made a HUGE deal of the win, something they don't do when Obama wins NC.

Way to go Hillary! You are awesome, and you will be my president comes January 2009!!!!! We can't wait, as another politician stated "we are the ones we've been waiting for" and you will lead us!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Senator Hillary Clinton is in a love hate partnership relationship with John McCain the both wants to knock Senator Obama out of the running.

Senator Hillary Clinton needs to be spend more time with Bill Clinton than maybe he won't cheat.

McCain is just giving Obama a taste of what he is in for. There is so much more on Obama that hasnt even be exploited yet but the GOP will, guaranteed!

I thought Obama came off extremely well at the press club today.

He convinced me that the attacks on him are blown WAY out of proportion.

I like the guy now.

Has she decided to listen to what Howard Dean said earlier today, some one has to drop out, is she starting to back down and bring it together? Or am I just being niave again?

If I'm not mistaken Hillary is the one who started this from the get go and now she wants to look so angelic? Sounds like she's downplaying her hand in the pot to look electable. Nice job but too late.

HA!! HA!! HA!! HA!! HA!! SO FEW POSSIBILITIES LEFT!!! SO LITTLE TIME!!! DEFEAT IS KNOCKING AT YOUR DOOR!! YOU CANNOT HIDE!! THE TIME HAS COME FOR YOU TO STEP DOWN!!

It was honorable of McCain to ask the ads be pulled but he has done enough. Now that Rev. Wright has spoken out again and again, the public knows more about who Obama chose as his pastor and mentor for 20 years. Obama talks of judgement and proclaims that he has better judgement. Choosing to stay in Wright's church demonstrates his lack of judgement. Supporting a man for president who would remain a friend and parishner of Jeremiah Wright shows the judgement of these North Carolina candidates.
The ads were not McCain's ads.

I dont believe a WORD that comes out of this woman's mouth!

Wow, what nonsense. I can't believe Clinton could stoop this low.
Obama '08

Imagine how the Clinton's are going to react when the nomination goes to Obama. Try to calculate the $ lost. The biggest is the blow to their respective egos, the loss of influence… It will be great.

"If Hillary is smart… …she will stay out of this…."

Hillary is not smart, at all and in any way and that is why she cannot stay out of nonesense. Obama has stayed away from all the nonesense he could use on both Clintons and McCain. He does not have to look far to get what he can comment on any of them. But guess what, he is a very smart man and he has stayed out of it and he is a leader whether people want to admit it or not.

She "Can't" even get Bill to stop bringing up race just before the Texas, Ohio and Pennsylvania primaries. Her entire campaign is based on using the racial divide to get Hispanic votes in the border states and uneducated and elderly white votes in the "Big" states. Oh, I forgot, a democrat can't admit to using Rovian techniques to win elections.

Democrats for Mc Cain!

Hillary please don't say anything, Obama supporters are so abnoxious, they'll turn on you for things that you don't have anything to see with.

Belle

YES YES YES AND YES AGAIN!!!

Beebe, dont be fooled by Clington. She made a big issued out of it already.

Meanwhile, to Clington herself…."you ain't in the position to try to erase the "said controversy" but true statement because you've never been there before.

Ask average black persons what they feel about keylocks in the lips of the slaves. They will sure have a lot to say. We already forgive the past but don't even think of condemning those that still nurse the trace of the fire.

Only Obama as well as other black leaders have been given right/power to denounce any historical prejudice comments made fellow black people. "Not you Clinton nor Mccain. People to all Americans. We are the one to make a better day, just you and me.

Hillary - you are worst than John Mc Cain!

You are not going to fool us with trying to be nice!

Your last ad in Penn - last week was a disgrace and I will be glad when you are dragged out of this race!

By the way - Obama got another SD today and 1-SD on Saturday!

I hope you are paying attention because we are not going to the convention!

Go Obama!

She is a liar…….she is ONLY speaking out now to impress the Superdelegates….. I hope they are smart enough to see her for what she really is. She will run the same ads over the next few weeks!!!!!

Here's your difference between Hillary and Sen McCain. Hillary believes in FORCE; McCain believes in persuasion. Now, which is better for America?

Nice way of slapping at McCain while bringing putting the subject back in the news also.

Hillary is right - It's one thing to answer a question - "she wouldn't have stayed in the church" - and another thing to run a commercial about Wright.

Hillary isn't tearing Obama down - He did this to himself!
Quit blaming her for his mistakes - he needs to take responsibility once in a while. He knew this would be a problem for his campaign yet everyone is blaming Hillary!

What's her angle? As a matter of fact, if the media had not been irresponsible in their reporting Reverend Wright would not even be an issue. Sure he said some things that are controversial but the biggest majority of them were played out of context. As I see it, until you have walked a mile in the other persons shoes you don't know what they have been through. I saw Rev. Wright's speech last night and the one today on the history of the black church and don't have a problem with either one of them. Those people that do have a problem need to listen with an open mind to everything that Reverend Wright said. THE ONE THING THAT HE SAID THAT I WILL ALWAYS REMEMBER - JUST BECAUSE BE ARE DIFFERENT DOESN'T MEAN WE ARE DEFICIENT.

You Obama supporters have to be kidding me! No matter what she does its wrong or somehow evil and when Obama does the same nothing is wrong with it! What is wrong with you people?!? I used to like Obama until I started realizing how much of a hypocrite and typical politician he really was. All his brainwashed "Obama is GOD and can do no wrong" supporters made my dislike of him even worse.

Funny, most people know that the Clinton's are behind this whole AD thing.

This is being played before the Democratic primaries in Indiana and NC.
Who is it going to benefit ? Common sense would suggest HRC.
They are the one that dug up this controversy in the first place.

And now, she thinks Mcain could do more ? The hypocrisy here is astounding.

Hillary and her campaign are masters at playing the game. In the end they will try to make you believe 1 + 1 = 3. The end justifies the means, anything to get a win. Prior to Texas, Ohio is was the 3am call, prior to PA it was the Pearl Harbor, 9/11… what is coming up
prior to Indiana and NC?

Even when she says the right thing and backs your boy up, you still freak out. You guys need to get back on your medication.

To Belle,
Thank you for addressing us, the African American who support Obama. Your negativity will not change anyone's minds. I believe Clinton has experience but I don't think she's the best candidate for the country right now. I know people like to talk about Obama being slick and full of lies, but being from Chicago and following his career for some years now, I don't know what lies you're talking about. I realize he is good looking, has a nice voice and can write and deliver speeches. I'm sorry that offends to. He is a calm, mild-manner man, who answers questions even dumb ones (like does Rev Wright love America as much as you do) with care and poise. I don't feel the need to attack Clinton or McCain the way you have Obama. I just think he's an intelligent, thoughful man, with a unique background and host of experience that will not only help move the country forward but also help America's standing with the rest of the world.
PS, look back in history, the African American vote has been the most dedicated voting block for democrats with 88% voting for Kerry and 90% voting for Gore. Thanks.

Oh Brother……

Who is she trying to fool? A little late for the magnanimy, Hilldog. You've damaged the Democartic party more than your husband did, and as result , the Republicans will take the White House for another four years rather than the eight after Bill's abysmal failure to leave things intact so a sitting VP could get elected in 2000.

This is who hillary is. She started it all and she is playing innocent. What is the difference between her and McCain?They voted and supported the war in Iraq.Look at the numbers of Americans and Iraqis who lost their lives. Don't be fooled Americans. You don't need Hillary and you don't need McCain. Vote Obama !!!

One candidate is trying to keep hope alive; one is trying to keep party-damaging, country-dividing controversy alive. Which is more valuable?

Why is Rev Wright even an issue. When did he announce his candidacy. He is not running for office. And another grown man has no control over what another grown man says. That is the mistake that we make in this country, you go to church to worship God not the man.

Let me get this straight, Hillary's camp makes a BIG deal of the Rev. Wright issue, Hillary's camp continues to use this issue to scare voters into not voting for Barack. Hillary uses this to her advantage in order to win Pennsylvania. Now Hillary has to also take shots a McCain and she do so by saying McCain should do more to stop these attacks of old.

Did I miss something that someone is not telling me about this story? Hillary, you're pathetic, win at all cost must be your camp's moto.

Unless I'm mistaken Rev Wright is NOT Running for Office I don't give a hoot what HE says I care most about what SEN. OBAMA says!
Correct me if im wrong! Hillary LIED from HER OWN MOUTH! It wasn't Bill or Chelsea or her Pastor who said it!!!!
See the Difference? No? Must be a Hillary supporter!

Why should Hilary now try to potray herself as a good person after she has been running negative ads against Obama and her husband always trying to talk negative about Obama?Today she is like this tommorow like that.She should be the nominee for democrats so that Mccain can have a clean sweep in November.

Hello Kettle, Pot calling.

Isn't she and her people the ones who keep bringing this up?

What a big fat Liar.

The truth is always important to help decide who the candidates really are. The Reverend Wright, Rezko, favors for Rockwell, voting for the Cheney-Bush-oil companies privilege tax treatment are all Obama's deeds and he must be held accountable just as Clinton is held accountable for her deeds. Oh! do not forget all the "pulling the wrong lever" votes and Michelle's Obama "America is a mean country,…I have never been proud of being an American until now that Barack is running for office." Just in line with Wright's thinking.
After all of this do you still think that Obama is electable? Easy prey for the republicans…

I strongly think, if John could, he would… He needs's all the help, he can get, so why upset even you're own..

I'm sort of baffled by this, which makes me think CNN's leaving out important facts again.

Obama says it's okay to bring up Wright, even though he's said it's divisive in the past?

Meanwhile, Clinton doesn't want McCain using it as a wedge issue, even though she has in the very recent past?

'Splain me!

Of course, the flip-side of all of this: those "geniuses" out there (same people who thought going to war in Iraq was originally a good idea, same people who thought that Saddam Hussein was responsible for 9/11) . . .
. . . Well, thanks to all of this Reverend Wright stuff, maybe now these brontosauruses among us will finally OPEN THEIR EYES and realize that Obama is Christian after all (and not Muslim)!

Nice words, Hillary - unfortunately, I'll never believe a word that comes from the mouth of the Queen Of Whitewater!

What did she just say?????? Oh please only she can trash Obama not McCain…..boy is this being a hypocrite or what.

Ya gotta be kiddin' me!
The woman is shameless!

Isn't this one of the seven signs of the apocalypse?

No candidate has ever lost all the major primaries then went on to win the general election.

It has never happened in the entire history of the country ever since primaries were introduced

Obama is unelectable.

After the crazy ads she has run. A fine one to lecture anybody about anything!

Belle,
You are kidding, right? If you had any experience at all you would at least understand that this is an election for DELEGATES. Or you would at least be able to do simple math and could understand that your candidate has already lost. Perhaps you think that Obama can bridge the racial divide when Hillary has done everything in her power to marginalize him as the "Black" candidate? All your experience hasn't given you the common sense to see that this has been her campaign strategy since Iowa??? She has sytematically used the brown/black divide to win the Hispanic vote in CA, TX, NM, and AZ while using the black/white divide to win older and non college educated whites in the "BIG" states of Ohio and Pennsylvania. Her tactics have been shameless and right out of the Karl Rove playbook. Did you see the last debate? The first hour was Bill Clinton's former Communication Director attacking Obama's character, while Hillary cheered them on, while poor Hillary only had to answer why it was she was a bold faced liar. Good luck with your stereotypical female temper tantrum, I hope it doesn't drag the party down with it.

LOL. Obama supporters are so overwhelmingly amusing. She's just giving a hand to him and you guys have issues even with that? I'd imagine the supporters of Obama would be as humble as he is. Accept her nod of helpfulness with modesty and appreciation - not fiery criticisms on her character.

Please post this. Thanks.

Obama supporters that are African Americans:

I understand your wish to vote for Obama because he is the "black" candidate. However, in my view, he is half black and half white. He is both. One would think he could unite both, but he hasn't. Why? His lack of experience at showing TRUE leadership.

Belle - you are wrong I think the ideal of Bill running around the Whitehouse again is just to much for us to handle…..dont you think missy!!!!! Please get this point!!!!!!

My opinion is McCain should pick Hilary to be his VP as she has been campaigning so hard for him. Shame on Hilary! She is using her last breath to destroy Dem pary.

Fools for Hillary…you can't hide her forked tongue

There isn't one ad, one comment or one write-up where Sen. Clinton accuses Sen. Obama of any wrong doing with the Rev. Wright, however all of you seem to be fixiated on it… he is doing enough damage as it is already… perhaps you don't like Sen. Clinton, don't vote for her, but don't insult her or Sen. Obama they deserve our respect… the hyporates are all of you that choose hate over debate.

The Rev Wrght isue is another form of the race card folk
who go to church beleave me we go through much but we
have learned to seek our true christian purpose while there
my pastor says alot of crap, but true christians our faith Is what
motivates us we have to realize what the Father Son and The Holy Spirit is all about and I beleave this is what has motivated
Senator Obama not Rev Jermia Wright, we ask about Senator
Oboma we seem to have the problem

I refrain usually from criticizing Sen. Clinton and her supporters because Democrats need their enthusiastic support for the general election! But I find it implausible for her to say “I regret the efforts by the Republicans to politicize this matter” when she has spread similar smears and doubts - all for the supposed purpose of "vetting" Obama!

This campaign is not about pastors, churches or racial divisions, but America's future! Thus despite all of today's negativity, New Mexico Senator Jeff Bingaman, an energy expert and superdelegate, endorsed Obama today!

McCain does not want the Wright issue to stop. He will have more ammunition to use when or if Obama is the nominee. In fact, the RNC wants a McCain/Obama run off. Just think war hero and straight shooter against a man with suspect friends and a Speaker of platitudes

Pot Kettle Black

hiliary you are a hypocrite. you started all this. you should return to your republican base

what Hillary..I cant believe it..there must be sth behind it

question where whould Hillary Clinton be if Obama was a white
man whould she sit down?

The fact that HRC has been successful so far… over 30 years of public service, tells a lot about America.
She is really the queen of the fools.

Hmmmmmmmmmm? If that's how you really felt Hill, why didn't you speak out sooner? Oh I forgot, you were pegged to win PA so you didn't have to dig deep to seem likeable, but now you are in need of a boost to help your numbers in N. Carolina and Indiana. How typical of you. If Americans can't see through all of her BS and selfishness by now there is no hope for Democrats to win the White House.

The tide has come and were movin on, clintons gonna be number 1. hahaha pee-ons. what have you got to say now. obama is weak and talks the same talk…15 months of the same ol bull.

clinton in 2008!!!!

Clinton and McCain take turns exploiting Wright to attack Obama and blaming the other for exploiting Wright to attack Obama.

What a tangled web we weave.

Time for that shoulder sleeve gesture again, Barack!

WHAT A HIPPOCHRITE!!!! FIRST SHE MILKS IT FOR ALL IT'S WORTH, AND NOW SHE FINDS HER CONSCIENCE? I THINK THIS IS A PLOY BY BOTH MACAIN AND HILLARY TO TAKE TURNS AND KEEPING THE ISSUE ALIVE.

Well Hrc check this out, you and Obama are on the same party and you run an ad showing Bin laden and spreading fear. what do you expect the republicans to do. YOu have got to be kidding me.

Once again, in the hope of setting the record straight!!
During the Clinton's marital problems, Rev. Wright was not their counsellor. Billy Graham was the main one, and to a much smaller extent Jesse Jackson was second. Just because Wright was once in a White House photo shoot at an event attended by hundreds of people does not make him their spiritual adviser; they didn't attend his sermons for 20 years.

Can you say suprised? Is Hillary going……need I say it…..positive? Oh, it's been so long I don't even believe it.

Nikki, you are an idiot!

This is why Obama will lose in November. The Rev. Wright video will be playing over and over again until election day if Obama is the nominee

McBush is alive and well and as an ex republican I say if you think 2 wars is not enough vote mcbush back into office and well, don't trust rev. wright and read revelation yourself. "there will be wars and rumor of wars"

Wright needs to stay out of politics.

Obama's pastor. Explains a lot about Obama.

Hillary 08!!!

Right … it was your turn to push the issue.

I bet Billary and McCain have an unofficial agenda to get Obama out of the picture. They talked about this and made their plans together.

Something about this just smacks hypocritical.
No way will i vote for Obama. Hillary MAYBE could sway me if
she can convince me she has a better economic plan.
We've always lived better when the Dems were in office.
Come on admit it, we have!
Yet i would never rule McCain out.
I would never underestimate McCain and he is, after all,
a good candidate. Why all the hubub about "who can beat McCain?"
Come on Obama and Clinton are practically afraid of the guy.
And Hillary—McCain could do more about Wright? That's a cheap
shot and you know it. Whether i vote for you or not that's a cheap shot.

What about some other pastors ??? bet the republicans have way worse stuff then any one else

What blatant hypocrisy. I guess her campaign is justified in how it publicized the issue, but the Republicans aren't…

There's also a huge clue as to the imperial way in which she would try to run things as nominee and President…

No, Hillary

Obama and Wright created this racist mess.

Stay out of it and let it sink Obama.

He has done nothing but bash you and attack you for months.

Let Obama sink.

We are behind you Hillary. Don't lose hope. Infatuation for Obama is fading. The more you get to know Obama, the more you get tired of listening to him.
His style in his speeches, his delivery is the same style as his pastor.
After awhile, you get tired of listening to Obama.
No substance all talks.
You may not be an inspirational speaker but you stick to your substance and what you can bring to the table

What a hypocrite!!! Pot calling kettle, come in please!!! I don't thinkSenator Clinton would know the truth if she tripped over it. I am so glad this will be over in June!!!!

Obama 08

“Louis Farrakhan is not my enemy. He didn’t enslave me. He didn’t put me in chains. And he didn’t make me this color.”

Hillary, try to defend that newest comment of Wright's.

Hillary's so transparent. It's always tough to tell if she's stupid or just thinks we are.

Gov Easley of NC just announced that he will be endorsing Hillary Clinton for PRESIDENT!!!!

WE can do this.

GO Hillary

Hillary , you are the best !!!

Hillary- 08

Pot, meet kettle.

Still, at least she's pretending to be supportive… even if it is just to sway the black vote…

She is so full of BS. SHe just wants to keep bringing the matter up. How the hell does this impact or effect her? It does not but it can make her "look good" as a caring candiate. The same candidate who was tossing the whole ordeal in Obama's face a few weeks ago.

Who does she think she's fooling? Clintonites? You guys are already snowed!

Come on now. We all know as white people that McCain, the Clintons and most of the Media are racists and that Senator Obama is too close to getting the Nomination for President of The United States of America. I have listened to this Pastor and mind you-all that this pastor is Obama's former pastor and that this Pastor is not running for President, Senator Obama is. We need to stop this. I am so sorry for all of the wrong things that my parents and grandparents and great grand parents have done to African Americans, but me being alone and accepting the truth of our past I can't do anything. We need to accept the truth about OUR HISTORY and stop making this man suffer for it. OBAMA FOR PRESIDENT OF AMERICA!!!!!

Why should McCain do anything?

Obama and his thugs are the ones playing dirty, creating a racial divide, and threatening everyone else if they don't get their way.

I say, help sink Obama.

Hillary, you should retaliate the favor that Obama has shown you and label HIM a racist.

Thats funny, I thought Hilary Clinton was behind those ads.

So… Obama calls the Clinton racists and now she defends him?

No way.

No Obama.

Clinton's response is laughable, particulary since she's the one who started the mis-characterization of the fine Reverend. I think she watched Rev. Wright's speech last night, knows his message of unity is going to resonate will with voters and wants a pice of it.

It's all for not. Obama will wipe her in North Carolina, with a 20 point win and gain 25 delegates..

Hillary must be laughing at the the fire she started. This is another reason for evryone to stick with Obama and see through that Hillary does not get the nomination. Superdelegates should be able to clearly see through how Hillary instead of uniting is breaking up the Dem party.

I AM DISGUSTED WITH THE WAY THE MEDIA AND THE CLINTON CAMPAIGN ARE TRYING TO DERAIL OBAMA BY ANY MEANS NECESSARY..REV WRIGHT IS RIGHT! MALCOLM X WAS RIGHT! OBAMA MUST BE THE NOMINIEE….IF HILLARY IS MANIPULATED AS THE DEM NOMINEE, I WILL BE ACTIVELY CAMPAIGNING FOR ALL AFRICAN AMERICAN AND PEOPLE OF COLOR TO CHANGE THEIR AFFILIATION TO INDEPENDANT AND TO VOTE FOR ABC (ANYBODY BUT CLINTON). I WILL NOT SUPPORT THE RACIST AGENDA OF THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY THAT IS PROVING ITSELF TO BE JUST AS DISPICABLE AND DIVISIVE AS THE REPUBLICAN PARTY.

For heaven's sake when will CNN stop harping on this old and unrelated story? Obama is not Rev. Wright and Rev. Wright is not Obama! And the election is not about that. It would be nice to see CNN focus its journalistic energies on matters such as the price of gasoline, the economy, the mortgage crisis, the true viability of Obana and Clinton's health care positions, etc. But that takes more than the two-bit sound-bite journalism CNN is engaging in now. It actually takes work from reporters who know how to report and have time to gather stories in a thoughtful way. But I think there's no chance that will happen — or that anybody will actually see this post on the blog.

Obama needs to go put Rev Wright in a can till next year. The good Rev has said enough in the last 2 days to kill Obama hopes, another week of this and Obama couldn't get elected dog catcher, Rev going off so much Obama going to lose half the black vote in NC, if Obama drops below 15% in NC his goose is cooked.

WOW…Its your fault that it is out there…You got to be kidding me…She is proving that she will say anything to be elected…

@Belle: Your talking points sound as if they come right from the campaign. I find it hard to believe that post came from your own pen.

Hillary pounced all over this issue in the debate recently. Now she attempts to take the high road? To impress whom? Superdelegates.
In the words of Daffy Duck "Despicable!"

Let he who is without sin cast the first stone. Jezebel cannot return to the fold. She is and was history.

Phil

shame on CNN! They shouldn't have given the "Kuke" Rev. Wright so much time to show how crazy he really is. It was played over and over just to damage Obama. Rick and the other reporters are just interested in a good story. Well, it wasn't worth watching.

Whatever Hillary. I do not believe you.

This is obviously another tactic. When she steals the nomination from Barack, she can say that she "condemned McCain for using those terrible tactics, but what can you expect from the Republicans?" She will endear herself to Obama's supporters by being so big as to come to his defense (because he is just too weak on his own). Boats & Ships! I say. There is no such good grace from Hillary Clinton. Obama supporters don't close your eyes and don't forget that feeling when she steals the nomination from Obama. Howard Dean will hand it to her on a silver platter with all his talk about, "who is the best candidate for the fall" superdelegate rhetoric. Daily I am losing more faith in the Democratic party although I have always voted Democrat. Not this time when Hillary jacks up Denver! Don't be fooled America–read between forked tongue.

Hillary is afraid that Obama is preparing an add using her sniper fire. The republicans will use Hillary's negative campaign adds to attack Obama in November. Pastor Wright will defend himself

Clinton and Mcain seemed to think Jeramia Wright is thier opponent not
OBAMA. The press is fanning the flames, lets get back to what needs to be covered!

McCain is only wanting them to stop the ad's now, he is wanting Obama to run against in the fall. Then he would be putting out ad's worse than this one, guess he doesn't want any of the effect to wear off to early. McCain thinks he can beat Obama but it is Hillary he doesn't think he can beat.

Unbelieveable. As Bill stokes the racist fire, Hillary lectures McCain.

I guess Hillary suffers from combat fatigue after ducking from sniper fire.

McCain wants this to go on so if Hillary is really concerned she should drop out and don't be such a hypocrite.

While I'm sure that Sen. Obama appreciates these comments from Sen. Clinton, where was this six weeks ago? When this first became a story, it was "no comment." Then it became, "You can't choose your family but you can choose your pastor." Now it's "Shame on the Republicans." This really seems to ring hollow at this point.

Maybe I'm being optimistic, but I hope this is a signal from Clinton to her supporters that she will do what it takes to get Obama elected if he wins the nomination, and not just another attempt to fool people into thinking she's "not as bad as you think."

Belle why did you only address Obama's Black supporters? I'm sure you realize that most of the votes that he has received came from wide cross section of this country. With only 12% of the population he wouldn't be leading with only the Black vote. I'd say he's done alot more to unite than Hillary ever could or will.

By the way, Hillary has still to answer for Peter Paul–you know that guy the media will never have any real coverage about. Isn't Paul vs. Clinton which was supposed to have been set Friday. Why is it everyone around the Clintons end up in jail and no one says "boo" about any of her more serious problems. The Republicans can't wait to come out of the woodwork to get after the Clinton's scandals again. Wake up America. Wake up before it's too late.

Leave CLINTONS out of this, let OBAMA carries his own CROSS

She's just keeping it in the headlines. Clever girl.

Dear Political Ticker Readers;
Go to Electoral Vote; click on obama v. mccain; it shoes the electoral maps for the general election. Of course, this is infor regarding current polling and will vary from week to week, issue to issue.
As a responsible citizenry, we must be as informed and aware as possible so as to make the best decision when it comes to voting.
Electoral Vote 2008.

i tell you, that hillary clinton is a true hypocrite who knows how to talk well out of both sides of her mouth

She can't win without Black people. She isn't getting my vote. period. No democrat will ever get my vote again. This party is racist. It makes me sick that I have supported so many white folks. That's over with now. I have had a CHANGE of heart.

I am surprised she didn't wait until the stories of his new speeches died down and then bring it up again just to keep him in the news. "I come to bury him, not to praise him…"

She has run short of attacks because Obama has shown her a perfect gentleman's behaviour of "dont engage in a fights with a woman".Although am a woman but Hillary's attacks have reduced her to be painted a woman behaviour. If she is running for the most importamt job in the world as she calls ,she should be able to run a respectable campaign not fights,attacks and and behaving as if the question between her and her opponent is personal.
But good move Hillary by urging Mccain to take down the ad about obama and his former pastor,you are now being descent and behaving like a lady -keep it up

Clinton is two-faced.

Both her and Bill invited Rev. Wright to the White House when they needed him during the Monica Lewisky fiasco.

NOW she and Bill sit by and do nothing to support Rev. Wright. That's how the Clinton's operate. They LIKE you and EMBRACE YOU when they NEED you, but when they DON'T, they throw you out like yesterday's trash. This is what the clinton are all about.

The Clinton's also did NOT publicly endorse Kerry & Edwards when they ran for the Presidency. The Clinton were really NO WHERE to be found in support of John Kerry and John Edwards. NOW all of a sudden, they are trying to wine and dine John Edwards to get his endorsement.

The Clinton's are NOT fooling anyone. They are users and abusers and that is the legacy they earned. Sen. Clinton was even reported as treating her Secret Service Agents very BADLY.

I KNOW for a fact when I was married to a Secret Service agent when Clinton was President, that was verified back then as well. This speaks to Sen. Clinton credibility overall.

Hillary is so full of crap, Is her eyes brown?

WHAT A JOKE! HILLARY CLINTON A CANDIDATE FOR PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES! REMEMBER THE GIRL IN SCHOOL THAT CRUSHED HER WAY TO THE TOP? YOU REMEMBER THE GIRL THAT EVERYONE WANTED TO BE AROUND BECAUSE THEY FELT IT WOULD MAKE THEM PART OF THE "IN" CROWD. THIS, DESPITE THE FACT THAT THE GIRL USED EVERYONE TO GET WHAT SHE WANTED. THIS IS WHAT IT MEANS TO BE HILLARY CLINTON AND ONE OF HER SUPPORTERS. HILLARY "SAY ANYTHING" CLINTON A CANDIDATE FOR PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES! GOD PLEASE HELP US!

Oh my God! She has made plenty of hay about that relationship, trying to turn it to her advantage……..Somehow I find her about as credible as GWB.

go obama go.

No…
McCain owes Obama nothing and neither do you Hillary.

Obama has used the race card to handicap you every step of the way.

Obama and Wright are willing to inflame a race war, just for fun.

This is a legitmate issue. No, it doesn't really matter what Wright said. In fact, I could care less what he said. But if Obama becomes president, he is going to face far worse things than this. How he handles attacks such as this will give an indication of how he will handle the Oval office.

I'm glad I had the chance to vote early yesterday. I was so happy to cast my ballot for OBAMA. NC is definitely not buying the "politics".

The media and journalism is at their lowest point and the world is watching. Now I am wondering who is more patriotic, the media or Rev Wright? Is there nothing else to report? How about world food prices, how about the price of oil and it's impact on our economy? What about this recession that is upon us?

I am tired of Hillary and her schizophrenic behaviour!

dont believe a WORD that comes out of this woman's mouth!

This is information that the American people NEED to know; this is VITAL to ALL voters. The Clintons are scandalous. There is a case pending RIGHT NOW in CA, it’s a real, legit case Peter Paul vs Clinton. For the skeptics, the case number is : BC304174
lasuperiorcourt.org

Hillary is unbelieveable, she has done more harm to Obama than McCain ever could. She helped the Republicans with all the imformation shes been throwing. The American people are the ones that crazy, because we keep buying into her lies.

One more thing: If June 3 finds Obama with the most pledged delegates, popular votes, and states won, and the Democratic Party leaders give this election to HRC. This African American could NOT in good conscious vote for another democrat ever again. I venture to say 90 percent of all life-long African American Democrats feel the same.

My goodness! What is she thinking! This woman has got some guts to be criticizing McCain when she herself dwelt on Wright issue up until her victory in PA. How dare she?

Typical liberal.
Point out one controversial preacher of the "holy mackerel" and next thing you know all conservatives are attacking the black church's—and Rev. Wright's Momma.

Whut up w/ dat?

________________

Wow but not surprising coming from a Texan. How about typical conservatives whenever their precious preachers (Dobson, Fallwell, Robertson, Hagee, Perkins, etc) are attack they are quick to play the Communist Card.

Pot meet kettle

She is supporting a fellow democrat, and all of the Obama bloggers on this site sound more bombastic and fanatical than Wright. At least Wright backed up his fiery words with intelligence, albeit, he is full of himself.

What a hypocrite! She is the one that made such a big deal out of this in the first place. I cannot stand her, and will not vote for her if she is the nominee. I have lost all respect for both Hillary and Bill
Clinton. I would never want them to represent me.

Who would believe this statement from Hil liar ??? who has been behind the negative adds from Hil liar from her day one .

Wouldn't you love to have a job working beside or under her ?

Just heard the Gov. of NC was going to endorse Hillary! Finally, people are seeing through Obama's snakeoil speeches…………

I agree with Hillary on every count except this one. Run all the ads you can Republicans-we need SOMEONE to tell the truth about Obama. Between the media and the Democratic establishment, there is not sensible view of the self-proclaimed Messiah.

SHe is right on the money there and she has my respect

But she should say that especially since she got marital counseling from him and she knows that he is a good man

And i agree, McCain should do more but you know that he loves for the ads to run while Obama has already said that he has nothng to do with what he thinks. Obama is running for president, not Wright

You can't attack him, that's my job.

Hillary Clinton

How insulting to the American voters. What kind of games is Hillary Clinton playing with us?

How insulting to the American voters. What kind of game is Hillary Clinton playing with us? This should be truly insulting to all of her supporters. Shame on you Hillary.

all i heard is that people keep on bashing Hillary like they know her well, but i'm sure that not alot of them actualy know her or Obama. let keep this real, be neutral, say what u know about both candidates. I think Hillary is a better candidate based on her experiences in politic. U just can not bring someone new in and change things around. remember it's POLITIC

Clinton started the attack and now she knows she is going to North Carolina, where voters hate her guts.

Pander on Hillary, it won't work.

Obama 08

"You're a mean one, Mrs Grinch……"

Face it Hillary we know you for the vile creature you are, don't try to pander to North Carolina voters–they know you.

Obama 08

McCains only way of winning in the fall is if he ruins Obama's image, and thats just what he's trying to do. Its too bad he is willing to sacrifice someone's life for it. Leave Jeremiah Wright alone you old bag, and start focusing on the important things like the fact that you want to fight with whoever does not agree with you. Good luck. Say goodbye to America if McCain gets elected. There are over 2 billion Arabs and only 330 million Americans, I say the odds are pretty scary that we can force everyone into doing what we want. Lets try another approach, shall we?

until Hillary goes away and drops out. She has been absolute venom to the democrats. Move the goalposts, change the rules, make up stories (then lie about making up the stories), etc, etc, etc.

Seriously, Hillary supporters, we need you come the fall. But please get off your high horse because Hillary ain't gonna win.

Cutting your nose to spite your face is petty and–quite frankly–stupid. You lunchbucket dems will be out of a job with no healthcare if McCain gets in. So while you love hate our candidate (Obama), you better get with it.

If you do vote for McCain, don't expect any of us upper income Obama supporters to cry as your job goes to china. We won't shed a tear.

"You nauseate me, Mrs. Grinch…"

How does this woman look in the mirror in the morning?

"You nauseate me, Mrs. Grinch…"

How does this woman look in the mirror in the morning?

GOD HELP US ALL

LOL

Once again, Hillary will do and say anything to win.

North Carolinians are smarter than you think, Hillary.

Obama 08

Ha ha ha ha

She must have woke up this morning and said "I think I've crossed the line". LOL

Too late Hillary, America knows you're a rat, and North Carolina will vote for Barack.

Obama 08

Hillary is right — she is taking the democratic party line against McCain. However, when asked a question concerning Obama and Wright, she did have a chance to comment. There is nothing wrong with answering a question — is there Howard? Is there Nancy?

Obama, Oprah, Wright and Obama's followers brought race into this contest when they told blacks that they should vote for a black candidate bacause he is black. Obama and Wright's racism is now on the table. Now let's play for real! Hillary 08!

She eats her young, I'm surprise Chelsea's still with us.

Obama 08

Oh, I'm so glad North Carolina gets it. I was worried–as long as they know she's a snake, there's hope. Step over that manure coming from Hillary, and vote for Barack.

Obama 08

OH MY GOD!! She is doing it again. Hillary monster rubs Obama's face in the racist inuendo and then has the gall to critisize McLame!

Kick her to the curb North Carolina, don't be fooled. She is a selfish, self-centered sloth.

Hillary for Hillary

Obama for America–Whoo hoo!

he's trying the same tactics ,that didn't work for hillary.when will they learn?we're tired of negative politics,and we're going to prove it in the fall.we just need to dispose of the little gnat,hillary,who won't go away.

As if anyone believes Hillary is sincere here. She is easier to see through than a set of cheap curtains.

Now this is something….Ms. Fake giving advice to Mr Doublespeak! More like a scene from a parody rather than real life………………..

For those of you IDIOTS, and you know who you are, Hillary has shown "grace" and "dignity" right from the get go and has NOT commented on this. So for you Abominations to somehow blame her, accuse her of negativity and call her names is pathetic. Keep this up and you WILL lose the General Election. What a pathetic set of low lifes. You
