CNN

Wolf, I'm glad today to see more important issues facing Americans are being debated today. Yesterday, I felt like CNN and the rest of the media world had lost all sence of debating the issues that Americans are concerned about. To see all day yesterday, Monday 90% of the coverage was about the Rev. and his relationship to Obama.

Before today, I was going to make a suggestion to you and the CNN staff, I'm here in Atlanta, if you guys don't have anything important such as Gas Prices, Iraq, Healthcare, Education... to debate, invite me to the CNN studio and I'll be glad to give you guys a better sense of the issues that we should be debating in this Election year.

Wolf Blitzer, I'm appalled by your seedy little retort to try to keep the Rev.Wrong,,,I mean Wright alive. Obama has come out with a statement that puts this issue to bed,,,can't you put your seedy little comments to bed and get on with the real issues or are you demonstrating to the viewing audience what you claim not to be,,,narrow or the vulgar "R" word. Please clarify for me. I'm watching your show now and hopefully you'll comment on air. If ot, I won't be surprised.

why why do you play rev. wright every 15 min. you play it so much i feel nothing when you show it again, except to turn to a nother news source, or is it you can only do 1 thing at a time (small minds)there at cnnn) please show it a couple of time and get on with other news im sure there more on bedsides dr wright. i will vote for omba so please go on to more news you nut i could care less agout rev. wright

I think Carter has become just another sad joke who has tied his wagon to Obama.....or is that around his neck?? Hamas and ties to a Presidential candidate just shouldn't come up as often as it does with Obama – get this loser out of here already – we need a STRONG candidate who can win in November and it's become glaringly obvious that Hillary is that candidate. Obama is f.o.s. about his next step back on Mr. Wright – a day late and a dollar short and my hunting and church going daddy used to say. Can't help but wonder if the two of them planned this "split" so that he could try to get the baggage out of the closet.

Wolf, how can I buy gas where your preview shows we are taking stress at the pumps. The pump prices you depict are about $2.70 a gallon. I want some of that gas.

I really think it's time for Blitzer to retire. What a boring CNN reporter, anchor or whatever he is supposed to be. My 96 year old grandmother would be more exciting to watch and listen to.

Could not believe President Carter today in the situation room saying he did not know which canidate to endorse. What full of crap this guy is. He announced awhile back that his family is for Obama and he would have to follow. Should stay off television if he can't remember what to hell he says. Sorry Wolf did'nt remind him of his previous choice.

28 year old White MAN in FLORIDA...You moron. The pastor of which you speak was not Clinton's pastor. All the real stories, not the blog crap you speak of, identify this pastor as Clinton's pastor, true. But they are talking about the town of Clinton's pastor, not Hillary Clinton. What idiotic, right wing, conservative conclusion without investigating the facts. OPEN MOUTH AND ISERT FOOT. I repeat , moron!!

I am glad that we still have President Carter, that is not afraid to reach out to what we call our enemies. This about it his Enemy allowed him to return to the United States unharmed. A Great Man, that knows how to lead by EXAMPLE! (NOT OUT OF FEAR)

Breaking news,

North Carolina Robocalls Giving False Info To Blacks! Check Huff Post, cnn will not post this, you need to warn your friends and family in North Carolina!!!!

When are citizens going to denounce these clowns that disrepect America ... her good history and charitable ways and superior miltary. As I see it, Durbin, Murtha, Schumer, and the beloved Jimmy Carter, among others in "leadership" should be tried for treason and shot for their utmost disrespectful actions against this great country. Freedom of speech is a valued right, not an avenue to freely spew anti-American retoric as they have.

Carter just Wants Attention , He's Trying To Keep Himself In The Lime Light . He's A Super Delegate That's All !!!! . Nothing Earth Shattering Here .

Hillary 08"

carter is a proven man of peace.mccain is an admitted war-mongerer.bomb bomb bomb iran....clinton's no better.obama is the only one being honest.

How can anyone expect that Hamas leaders will denounce the violance against Isrel and stop killing, while they are killing their own brothers (FATA group)

What harm does it do to talk to anybody? At least we all know that Jimmy Carter does not lie, as do the ones we have now.

If you are a supporter of real peace then one would realize that President Carter has been one of the few individuals that has tried to gain peace in the Middle East. If you don't want peace then you will decide that Carter's position was wrong. But, if you think that there is any hope for peace then maybe people should realize that President Carter may be the right person to broker a deal. Has anyone seen any real proposal for peace come from the current administration? How realistic is it for Pres. Bush to accomplish peace? America has been suck in the sand for at least the last 8 years and it's time to make change.

I think if Jimmy Carter can do something from a humane standpoint, more power to him. He is a good person with high morals and was a great president. Certain few had a different agenda; that's all.

Obama "Reverend Wright was my Mentor"... So ask a youg person the Question today, "is Borack Obama you're Mentor"???

OBAMA, HAS BEEN HIDING TOO MUCH....MAINLY POLITICS AS USUAL. HE'S TOUTING WRIGHTS SLOGAN " CHANGE IS COMMING' DUHH...WHY DIDN'T HE THINK OF THAT SLOGAN HIMSELF? WHAT IS HE GOING TO DISCLOSE ONCE HE GETS IN THE WHITE HOUSE... WE'VE JUST BEEN THROWN BACK TO THE '60'S...OR WORSE YET THE 50'S

>“They’re the ones who are undermining peace. They’re the ones whose foreign policy objective is the destruction of Israel. That’s the reason I am not talking to them.”

A big part of the problem with Bush is that he sees things in absolute black and white terms. And since he sees things in such terms, he has no ability to understand that others may not. Believe it or not, there are people who take extreme stances simply as a point of motivation and negotiation and *expect* that the end result is going to be somewhere in the middle but that their extreme starting point gives them the maximum leverage.

You can't learn anything about them and what you can do to change them and their organization if no one ever talks to them.

I am so tired of what you guys are doing if Mr Obama did not reach so far do you really think that the Rev Wright comments would of matter, you all never expecited to see a black man beat the Clinton's a popular white family, and i always wanted to ask you why it does not have a Black anchor who host one of the evening news like all you other guys.

Without War there is no peace. Peace without honor is slavery. No Obama we will not surrender to the Jihadist.

Defend my country or move out. The door swings both ways..
Funny I don't see anyone moving North to Canada or South to Mexico.
Must be pretty good here in the land of the Racist whites.

Just my opinion on Obama and his running for President. If Obama does not get the chance to run for President , the press should be very proud of themselves for playing a part at tearing him to pieces on the news every day. Guess the news is not important any more just to play to the public for ratings on their programs. Sad that it has come to this.

Carter is a pig. Worst president in history. Talking with terrorists. Heart attack death would be fair for him.

Neither Democratic candidate nor President Bush wants to denounce former President Carter out of respect for the office! President Carter should go back to home building and stop meeting with terrorists!

Carter should be commended for forthrightly dealing with the political reality of Hamas as a duly elected party, and he is unfairly criticized for highlighting the historic Israeli intransigence which sabotages any peace process.

Off topic but.........

You need to ask Jack Cafferty to be a little bit more polite, just because Obama is his choice (so obvious) does not mean that he can give totally bias opinions under the cover of a CNN Political Analyst.

I understand if you make a comment or two favorably or unfavorably. The way Jack talks about the other candidates down is so ridiculous. The worst is how grumpy he is on TV. Doesn't looks like he wants to be there...

I am watching less and less of situation report now because JC.

I know I am not the only one...

Carter is a good man but an ineffective president. His soul is pure and his intentions sparkle but he does his best peace keeping here at home and his deeds are applauded.
OBAMA can never come close to the better man than he, President Carter.

Funny that McCain demands Obama denounce and reprimand Carter, but doesn't demand the same of President Bush. Bush was asked several times today about it and refused to condemn Carter. A little more hypocrisy John?

I have a riddle for you...
"If" Sen. Obama gets the democratic nomination, goes on to win the general election, and gets inaugurated on Jan 20, 2009...who would be the 1st black president in this country?
There wouldn't be one as of yet because Obama is just as white as he is black. Just because he inherited his dads dominant genes many people are fooled by his appearance. Remember, his mom was 100% white. I bring this up for the main reason that McCain, Clinton and the media NEVER would because it could be construed as "racist". So, for those who have voted and will vote for Obama based on race/appearance, you may want to look a bit deeper and do your actual homework with your blinders on because you never know that once you learn who your candidate truly is and what they stand for, you may seek other more interesting options. Don't vote race or gender. Vote your conscience based on facts and information.
I'm a white male who can't wait until Colin Powell runs. He'll get my full support.

I don't quite get what the big hoop-la is about this

its not like he went over there bowing to Hamas...he went to talk....if he can bring about some result by talking instead of sending our children off to die, why should he not go?!?!?1

PEACE IN THE WORLD, AND END TO THE BUSH/MCCAIN HORRORS OF THE LAST 8 YEARS!!!!

DEMCORATS IN 08!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Jimmy cater can do what he wants hamas isnt gonna go away to not negotiate with them is absurd and trying to restart slavery with out geting the opinion of blacks. there will be no peace when two sides agree and try to ignore a third . Give me liberty or death .... Hamas would rather die for thier beliefs than be ignored.

Carter was wrong but the Bush administration should have talked to him directly in the beginning. Lone rangers are not helpful.

Who cares what Obama says. Mccain at least has the gravitas to comment. Barack is not authentic, and he has zero credibility. Wright is right. Obama says what he has to say as a politician.

Hillary Clinton 2008 and 2012 0r McCain 08.

Guys – Neville Chamberlain met with Hitler right before Germany invaded Poland to start WWII and declared "peace in our time". What good does it do to meet with these types? Would you rather a Neville Chamberlain or a Winston Churchill in our White House?

I think Jimmy Carter has the guts to do what others won't. If there is a chance to make Hamaas go with peace then why wouldn't we talk with them and try to convince them. I am extremely proud of Jimmy Carter.

I think Carter is one of the person who genuinely wants peace. How can you have peace with someone when you dont want to talk to him, and rattle your sabre every chance you get? He is right about what he is doing.

This terrorist group HAMAS has endorsed OBAMA – why would OBAMA side against them. Just another reason that if OBAMA gets the nomination the Democrats will loose the election in November. Vote for Clinton to ensure that the Democrats win back the White House. Tell OBAMA to keep supporting REV WRIGHT and he will be defeated when he runs for the Senate again.

Hey 28 year old White MAN in FLORIDA–

Sorry dude, but you should pay closer attention to what you read before you start slinging mud. Rev. William Procanick was the pastor of a church in CLINTON N.Y. They're utterly unrelated to HILLARY.

MODERN DAY LYNCHING " POLITICAL AND MEDIA LYNCHING"
WOWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!

Ok, why does McCain say that only Obama should tell Carter that meeting was a no no. Why can't he say they BOTH should tell carter that was an oopsie??
good grief

Make Peace Not War. I'm not even Christian and I can respect that statement, so why can you, radical evangelist christian president bush?

What has Mr Carter got to say, about the connection: Between India, Hamadinajad's Iran, and Russia...

I agree with Mimi. We may not agree with Hamas's policies, but Carter still wants to have an open and honest dialogue.

Reprimand him??? He's not Carter's father.

Obama would meet if he was President. I think Obama and Carter would like to see this country united and make peace with our enemies.

WOLF, WE DON'T CARE WHAT MCSAME SAYS HE WANTS TO BOMBBOMB IRAN

He's an elderly statesmen. Leave him alone.

Wolf Who?

John McSame ought to shut his war-mongering mouth.

So Wolf... WHY HAVEN'T YOU AND CNN QUESTIONED HILLARY CLINTON ABOUT THAT NUT SHE CALLS A PASTOR??

Why hasn't CNN looked into the ministry of Doug Coe, Hillary Clinton's spiritual advisor, andRev. John Hagee, whose endorsement John McCain sought??????
These are REAL nuts.

"John McCain says Barack Obama should have gone further in condemning Carter’s meetings with Hamas. “He should repudiate President Carter, reprimand him, and specifically tell him he should not have that meeting,” McCain said."

President is a past USA President. Who is Obama, McCain or anyone else to reprimand Jimmy Carter!

What about McCain and Bush? I think McCain should have gone further in condemning Bush and his AG's stance on torture. He should repudiate President Bush, reprimand him, and specifically tell him that torture does not work." But McCain sits silently. McCain can't even persuade the GOP in NC to pull an offensive ad. Some leader!

Thank God for Jimmy Carter. If we don't talk to people how can we solve our differences? Guns and lives only? Mr. Carter was the last HONEST and SINCERE President this country had. If he had been President the last 7 years I'm sure we would not be in this stupid war and would have over 3000 of our citizens still alive and happy.

Wolf,
Why don't you ever ask Obama about the books he has written where he praises Wright. Obama said, today that Wright is just his pastor and he had married him and Michelle. Obama tried to down play his relationship with Wright. However, in his books he speaks as thought Wright his a father to him. Ask the tough question and quit tippy toeing around this problem.

Iowa Superdelegate Richard Machacek, said today he is pledging to support Illinois Sen. Barack Obama. This is Obama's 2nd endorsement of the day and 7th in the 7 days since the PA Primary..

Sen McCain has no room to talk about denouncing former presidents or our current president. However since he is running as a third term of the current model, he will remain close enough to satisify the small percentage of GOP voters and thereby scuttle his own ship. He really hasn't faced any competition yet, so he continues to blissfuflly slog along completely out of touch with what needs to be done.

SOME WORK TOWARDS PEACE.

OTHERS APPRECIATE WAR FOR THE SPOILS IT

BRINGS TO THEM AT THE EXPENSE OF ALL

THE REST OF US.

REFUSAL TO MEET WITH THE ENEMY IS, AN ACCEPTANCE

AND APPROVAL OF THE CONFLICT AND AN INTENT TO

CONTINUE IT.

CNN should be ashamed of allowing posts like that of rice, brian.

This idiot does not have a brain. He must support Obama.

What does Clinton need to say? She's not the one Hamas supports!

The Democrats are just being Democrats. Grasping defeat from the jaws of victory. I don't know who does more damage. former presidents, such as Bill or Jimmy, two old southern boys or the Rev. Wright. Either way there is no way that the Democrats will win this election.
But that is a good thing. They would probably screw up everything else. Just look at how ineffective the Democratic controlled Congress has been the last 2 years.

And now I see a Video, of another Misile strike, this one on Somalia.. One Man, no matter how important they see themselves, can do what Carter thought...

I thought Clinton did not want to talk to any of our enemies? Did she change her mind again? My My My Wonder if she'll change her mind to obleterate Iran.

One way or another we have to bring peace to that region, and
it has to be soon. As we bring our troops home, the militant arab
resources will be unleashed to War on Israel.

We can not maintain the status quo any longer, we need to bring an
end to all this it it takes the entire UN to Baby Sit the Middle East.

I DON'T CARE WHAT THE CANDIDATES SAY OR DON'T

SAY ABOUT PRESIDENT CARTER, HE IS TRYING HARDER

THAN THE PAST 4 ADMINISTRATIONS TO FORGE A FEW

STEPS TOWARDS PEACE. MUCH RESPECT & LOVE TO HIM.

Bad news for clinton

In the landmark civil fraud case against Bill Clinton in Los Angeles, where the former President is charged with defrauding a Hollywood dot com millionaire to help Hillary Clinton obtain more than $1.2 million from him for her 2000 Senate campaign, Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Aurelio Munoz ruled on Friday, April 25 that Hillary Clinton would not be required to testify in a sworn deposition as a material witness in the case until AFTER the November election!

Why wont CNN be fair… hillary clintons pastor just was charged with child molestion for touching a 7 year old girl her pastor name is Rev. William Procanick …. and why isnt cnn reporting the peter paul vs.. clinton case…. 17 million dollar law suit that they have aginst them…. in cally…..

Independent, you think McCain is going to win?

Go Hill!

Independent, you think McCain is going to win?

Go Hill!

Blessed are the peacemakers...........................................

Wow, Clinton is uncomfortable criticizing a former president? Surprising, since she certainly doesn't hesitate to sling mud at the future president.
