Shut up Obama..you have no clue what your talking about!

The Man! Without, a,________ "Moment Left"……..

Time for a real, meaningful 'mission accomplished' - let's wrap up this nomination and get Obama in the White House.

Obama? The infrastructure of a functioning military of a sovereign nation was DESTROYED 5 years ago.

SEMPER FI!

Of course they would capitalize on President Nuncio's speech.
Reality is–despite his on ignorance–he has established some strong precedents for the next President.

Stay the course.
Disregard–the so-called experts and trust in military/other intelligence, and your own advisors.
Don't waffel because of public opinon–but exercise executive will and ensure the strategy and tactics are pursued to the end–despite the critics.

History may judge him differently. Let's see.

The bigger question is:

"Do either of the Democratic rivals for the Presidency have the personal fortitude and will to go the distance?"

Mission will be accomplished when our troops are safely home. We are the united states of america not supercountry of the world. some battles/wars are not up to us to fight or win. In the bible some battles were not won because of disobedience and sin. The people had turned their hearts away from God and wanted to accomplish things on their own. We are one nation under God, indivisible with liberty and justice for all…. When we turn our hearts back to God and our constitiution that was founded with God fearing men, God will fight our battles and mission will be accomplished. that's why i'm voting for Barak Obama….we need a new direction and change and i'm not afraid of change, it's good and we should embrace it while we have a chance….with the people behind him, there's nothing we the USA can't accomplish!

I hate to break it to you Mr. Obama but war is a dynamic environment and things changes on the ground.
Our mission of dismantling Sadam’s regime has been successful and that mission was accomplished.
But when you are building democracy it takes time.
I suggest you catch-up on your Meddle east studies.
One question can you please have your wife explain her thesis.

Look whose talking about the war the only candidate that hasn't been over there to see what actually is going on. Obama is such a joke.

I hate to break it to you Mr. Obama but war is a dynamic environment and things changes on the ground.

One question can you please have your wife explain her thesis?

Hillary was presented with false information form BUSH and POWELL and according to that she voted for the WAR..

OBAMA DIDN^T VOTE FOR THE WAR AND WE CAN^TB SAY THAT HE WAS SUPPORTING SADDAM HUSSEIN…….

THE FACT IS BUSH MISMANAGET THE WAR…….

Let's hope we–both normal folk and superdelegates–aren't as stupid as the Clintons seem to think we are.

Obama knows exactly what he is talking about! Telling him to shut up won't make the truth go away…..

Have some of you not read how economic experts have criticized the Hillary McCain gas tax holiday which is a short term pandering effort on their part and will leave us in a deeper mess in the long run! No wonder we elected Dubya twice!

Obama's answer to everithing is lets talk about it and don't do nothing so you can't be accused of anything. If he gets in the white house you can be sure that anything that does not go right will be someone elses fault.you can tell me all the things that should be changed but if you can't tell me in detail how your going to change it you are just making useless conversation

HE HAS NO SHORT TEAM RELIEF ANSWERS, LIKE REV WRIGHT SAID HE IS A POLITICIAN

YOU ARE UNELECTABLE!

We do not want talk, we do not want your crazy pastor in the White House for the next 4 years, we do not vote for candidates who insult the way you did in Pennsylvania, we do not want Tony Rezko your crooked friend in Chicago, we do not want speeches copied from others, we do not want to lose to McCain in November either!!!

YOU HAVE NOT WON ONE BIG STATE. FLORIDA AND OHIO WILL BOTH BE AS IMPORTANT THIS YEAR AS IN 2000 AND 2004.

Bottom line folks is you have two other candidates telling you what you would like to hear…."GAS TAX HOLIDAY", they are telling you what you would like to hear, but it ain't gonna happen, but by the time you figure it out it will be after November and you would have been used.

One candidate is telling you what you need to KNOW…and it ain't no Bull Crap "GAS TAX HOLIDAY". He could pander you for you votes as well as the other two, but that's the big difference.

Senator Obama has said "I'll tell the American people what they need to know and not what they would like to hear" He'll make the hard decisions.

Clinton wasnt given bad info, she just DIDNT READ the info given to her.

Not suprising that an elitist would rely on a lackey to do her work. If she cant choose good aides, cant manage her campaign, runs out of money time and time again… and can only imagine winning the nomination by stealing it…. then what kind of president would she be?

Obama 2008!

Hillary Clinton has edged ahead of Barack Obama, 49% to 45%, in the latest Gallup Poll Daily tracking update. good news right, CNN, Larry, Anderson, Jack ?

I see that the 'conservatives' on this blog continue to live in denial that this war has been lost from the beginning. 'Go the distance'? Are you kidding…….. please tell me how we will continue to pay for the war when our national debt IS: $10 TRILLION AND COUNTING?????????????

We are in danger of being bankrupt and some people are still saying 'go the distance'?

Sen. Obama IS the ONLY sane one of the group! Hillary and McBush BOTH VOTED FOR WAR WITH IRAQ! How IS this wisdom, logic OR good judgement???????????????????

OBAMA 08 & 12!

That's RIGHT nail this fool to the floor. We've been lead by a bunch of Bafooms!

The world looks at us like a bunch of lunatics all because of McBush and with the help of Sen. Clinton talking about how she's going to obliterate iran!!! What is wrong with this woman? YOU can't be making threatening statements, YOU ARE NOT THE PRESIDENT YET and that statement goes against the Geneva Convention's agreement. Talk about looking stupid.

With endorsements coming in from California, Iowa and Indiana, Sen. Barack Obama yesterday pulled even with Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton in the race for support on Capitol Hill, as Democratic lawmakers shrugged off his recent struggles.

"The path forward is to use American diplomacy "

WHERE WAS THAT MENTALLITY WHEN YOU VOTED FOR THE WAR!!!

You are a liar Hillary!! You are very much responsible for getting us into this mess of a war as anyone else!!

Obama was against the war because he is a pacifist and being so could not be depended on to take action against our enemies if necessary he would try and talk them out of it while they bombed the hell out of us Hell he backed down from Clinton in their first debate when she forced him to denounce Farrakhan on national television.he's a wimp you can see that whenever someone picks on him

And Rev. Wright was only saying what many black pastors say every Sunday. If we, as caucasians, bothered to educate ourselves, we'd understand why! It's not anti-white, or anti-american… it's anti-racism, plain and simple.

Tuskeegee, black wall street bombing, experiments on black men, women, and children with no anesthesia… these things all happened in RECENT history!

Before Bush, I sincerely believed that an American President would never take us to war unless it was absolutely necessary. Now I am more cynical, much like many Americans these days. Of the three presidential contenders, only Obama has the integrity, if at some future time the need arises, to convince the American people that the US must go to war.

What is a bigger issue right now???? The fact that Rev. Wright is Barack Obama's pastor or the fact that Obama has been against the war from day 1 and 4065 young men and WOMEN have been killed in Iraq! Clinton supporter obviously think Rev. Wright issue is MORE important. This is a really sick selfish nation and I am BITTER!

I am so sick of hearing Obama say he was against the war,

well guess what that was in the past and were sick of hearing about you were against the war , how do we know how you would have voted as you voted present or didn't show up to vote at all.

The American people are tired of your old speeches, start telling
us what you are going to do now.

Don't cast your vote for a Chinese spy, Hillary. Vote wisely, vote for Barack Obama.

What Clinton doesn't tell voters is that Magnequench, which made the magnets that helped to guide the precision-guided missiles, the so-called smart bombs, was sold to Chinese interests during Bill Clinton's administration, which okayed the move despite concerns about national security and eventual job loss.

Each time I read on these bloggs–

Count FL and MI, I feel so sick to my stomach. Have we lost all sense of decency about "rules and vlaues" in this nation?

No surprise, if we can overlook God's rules: "Thou shalt not commit adultry; Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbor," it is no small wonder how we can easily overlook our own values and rules!

I have always said, don't tell me what I want to hear - tell me the truth. I heard an analyst on CNN say that the tax holiday would not work. I would rather they leave the money where it is to take care of dilapidated bridges, etc.

Nobama you have no clue what you are talking about, you are simply a puppet of a mouthpiece!

Go Hillary!!!!

Finally Americans are realizing what a horrible President Bush is. Unfortunately, the Democrats look like they may be selecting another left-wing liberal candidate who (1) won't win in November because he'll lose the vital swing states which will leave us with 4 more years of Republicans and (2) has no experience just like Bush, has no specific plans just like Bush, tries to appear to be a "uniter not a divider" just like Bush, and bases his campaign on the mere prospect of likability.
Democrats please wise-up before it's too late. Let's nominate the candidiate who can win in Nov. That candidiate is Hillary Clinton. She can win the vital swing states (FL, OH, PA, AK, TN, NH, NM and MI) and thereby can win the White House.

there once was a man very much like Sen. Obama who came out of nowhere and courted the youth vote and the elite and preached and promise change and boy did he ever deliver you can read all about it in mein kamp

Well said Obama. It's amazing to see how the red necks in this country will fall for any gimmics thrown by Billary and McSame.

It's no wonder they elected Bush.

Way to go Obama!

Clinton voted for the war with Mc Cain and Bush!

After 5-long years and $500-trillion dollars - we have not won the war and we will not!

Imagine if Iraq had a REAL-ARMY to fight!

The USA had no right to invade Iraq regardless of the leader and this is one of the things Rev. Wright has stated… die for a lie!

I am so sick of NObama and the "Yes We Can…" chant!

"No You Can't"!!!!

Drop out already and go back from where you came?

Go Hillary!!!!

Obama speaking about National Security issues is like a guy going to an Indigo Girls concert to try to pick up a date.

Only an idiot would still refer to the 'Mission Accomplished' banner, but we have both Clinton and Obama doing it.

Mission accomplished? I guess so if the goal was to put our Country into a 3 trillion dollar debt, accomplish little over seas, and having to pay highway robbery for gas. Then I guess so, mission accomplished.

Obamabots, You may be blind but you cant place a blindfold over the American public. Obama is unelectable period. You must get over your so called loyalty and do what is best for the Democratic party.

Educated people only should post blogs.

Obama '08……no candiadte is perfect at least he admits his faults and faces them.

Other candidate going to take care that Obama don't worry about it. We
don't need you. You the worst President if you get elect, look at your cousin Bushy Obama.

Go get 'em Obama! Out of the three presidential candidates I believe Obama the most in us getting out of Iraq!

Keep hammering the point in that the most important foreign policy of the last 50 years both Hillary and McCain SCREWED UP! Poor policy judgment!

what was the mission and what got accomplished?

Stretch………………………..Obama is an expert on adding 2 + 2 and coming up with 3.

here come all the racist white people to bash on Obama because he was right guess the truth hurts! I am a white male who fought in Iraq both missions and I can tell you. Sen Obama has the clearest vision of what this country needs! He may not have been to Iraq but at least he does the things that Sen Clinton and Mc Cain failed to do He actually read the briefing! had they listen to experts in the field that had been there it never would have happen. No there way is I know all and am smart enough to make the choices that send people to die because I know I am right! give me a break!

and Matt82 the polls have been wrong time and time again i still wonder why so many desperate Clinton supporters cling to them with such strength she was ahead in this poll many times they have been running neck and neck in it for months!

Go Obama 08 Yes We Can

Obama is a zebra black and white and he'll use any color to his advantage wether it's his white grandmother or the Rev Wright and when he's done with you you get the flick off the shoulder routine. this guy is for Obama and nobody else except maybe the guys who are pulling his strings if he can't outsmart them in the end

it WOULD have been “Mission Accomplished” IF the American govenment didn't tie the hands of the Military when the "insurgency" started just like they did in Viet Nam. except for the "police actions" on Grenada and Panama and the First Gulf War, this country hasn't fought decent war since WWII.

the object of war is to KILL the ENEMY and ANYONE ELSE that MAY be HELPING them. after those contractors were brutally murdered in Fallujah we should have carpet bombed the place into dust. THAT would have settled things down REAL FAST. we also didn't take out that pipsqueek Muqtada al-Sadr and his Mahdi Army thugs early on. they are now the Iraqi version of Hitler and his Storm Troops in pre WWII Germany and they are going to eventually end up CONTROLLING the COUNTRY just like the Nazis did.

instead we have ended up with an Arabian Viet Nam complete with an Iranian version of Cambodia where the insurgents can run to and get resupplied.

Clinton's support for the gas tax holiday is based on the same flawed political reasoning she used to vote to invade Iraq, i.e., go with what is politically expedient instead of what is good policy. Any economist will tell you that the price of gas, like all goods, is a function of supply and demand period. The current price of gas reflects the price necessary to balance the demand with the supply. Eliminating the gas tax will not lower the price of gas unless it increased the supply or reduced the demand. Clinton's proposal will simply put the money that used to go to pay for roads into the pockets of the oil companies, not gas consumers.

Say it out Obama. God loves you. Its about time that Americans stop going for brand names and vote for change. Sometimes I wonder how Bush got into the white house. I guess people were going for a brand name. Just look at the mess we are right now.

Please come up with something original. The only thing that the Democrats have going for them is the media inspired hatred of President Bush. I am wondering how many of us would have the fortitude to stand up when you are told you are hated every day. I don't think the president of Iran will care when Hillary sheds her fake tears!

Unfortunately, we are sheep and are soft. I love my country and hate to see how low we have become - NOT because of our president, but because of US. It is far easier to criticize than to come up with solutions.

To Ron (1:52 pm)

…Well said…!!!!!!

Some folks don't get that McCain and Hillary are virtually the same on war issues. You like endless war and a bankrupt country as a result? Vote for McCain or Hillary. If you prefer a President who is willing to negotiate rather than obliterate then you might want to look at Obama.
We need a President with some sense rather than one with a knee jerk reaction to destroy! We can do MUCH better than what we have had!

A "decent war". Would be funny if not so scary.

We don't need any more speeches….Obama pls go away, so Dems/Hill can do some real work about issues that matter

All these war loving people are what's wrong with America…I support the troops, however, I did not support this war! You guys that support and defend this war are dillusional!!!!

OBAMA 2008!!

Hillary, Thanks for the war!! It has been fun!

I have to add this here since I missed to comment on Bush being the lowest rated president ever.

There was a comment posted by The Corp saying:

"At least he has nads you liberal fools"

Here is my response:

IT IS VERY EASY TO HAVE NADS WHEN SOMEONE ELSES KIDS ARE DYING YOU PRICK.

Clinton is trying to scare voters

The world needs Obama. May God bless him.

Hillary Clinton voted for the Bush-Cheney war in Iraq.

She cannot be trusted to lead our nation. She is a proven pathological liar and she'll never win the general election.

Dear "Paris,"

Maybe YOU should read up on what it takes for an outsider to "build a democracy."

Here's a hint: it has never happened and never will, because that's not how democracies function. Do you live here in the U.S. with us? Can you imagine England or some other democracy building ours for us?

Get real. Democracy building has always failed and always will. You idealists need to join the real world.

Obama admit you were at the sermon when Wright yelled about Sharpsville and Hirshima! you wrote about it in your book "Dreams of my Father" page 293.

Moore, you may need to consider relocating or get used to the idea that Obama is going to be the President of the United States of America. Or you should just shut the …………. up since your anger and ignorance is overwhelming.

Yes…the world (even the terrorist factions) needs Obama. To bring peace and coniliiation amonst all the different view points( Ghandi Obama has the answers)no matter how imbedded in their own national history/society. He'll heal the world–and make verything fine.

But God help America and the American way of life.

Do we really accomplish anything for that 5 year? Yes we do get more ennemies around the world.

Sen. Hillary Clinton is the most electable candidate to beat John McCain in the General Election. Lets vote for somone who is proven. Remember the prosperity of the 90's and the balanced budget.

I am amazed at how easily people are distracted by pandering and window dressing. Look out somone isn't wearing a cheap lapel pin, theymust not love America, I'll give you a "tax holiday," it sounds nice so it must be true! Wake up people don't just listen to polsters, talking heads and headlines. We tried that already and now we are supporting a broken Iraq, are in hock to China and gave up habeus corpus because a brush cutting fool said "trust me"
Read, listen and learn for yourselves, knowledge is power!

No One Cares What Obama has to say! Look at the new polls. Wake Up!

LET,S BE REAL WE CAN"T GET OUT OF IRAQ NOW .IT'S GOING TO TAKE SOME TIME .SO LET'S STOP POINTING FINGER AT ONE ANOTHER AND GET IT DONE.WE ARE IN IT LET'S WIN IT

Mission Accomplished. Not.
He still has 8 months to complete his destruction of our country.

When all is said and done, Hillary supported Bush's war despite the fact that he had no justification in going to war. Then she have the nerve to stand near a gas pump in her tacky attemp to show her opposition to increase fuel costs that she is directly responsible in causing via her endorsment for the war. Hillary is just a walking contridiction.

I am elated the tide keeps turning from Clinton to Obama for delegates realizing that Obama is the best person for this Country. Thanks Mr. Andrews for you insight.

OBAMA HATERS BEWARE…be cause he will be President of these United States!!! Then what are you gonna do???? uhhhh…Nothing!!! Shut up already!!!!

OBAMA 2008!!!

Mike I see alot of hate post from you about Sen Obama!

Perhaps if you would take the time to read and educate yourself you would have the info you claim does not exist!

You say he has no plans then go to his web site like you did CNN and actually read his proposals they are very in depth and detailed as best they can be considering that no one can predict the future! No not even Hillary!

Do your homework! read beyond the news headline and educate yourself ! As a proud redneck I am sad as hell that so many of my group in this country have been responsible for not one but two terms of a man that has no brain to speak of and now they seem to be lead by another Sen Clinton they will not read or educate themselves just follow the leader truly sad!

Go Obama 08 Yes We Can

How can what's her name speak out against a war she VOTED for!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Here again is Hillary giving a plan and Obama giving rhetoric. God bless us all if this Mini Me Bush gets into office.

If these three Senatorial circus clowns are the best this nation has to offer, God help this nation.

Washington, Adams, Knox… where are you when your nation desperately needs you?

I don't know why everybody get so upset when voicing your opinion regarding Hillary or Obama. One is no better than the other. It's ONLY your opinion. All of the name calling is not necessary. One of them will be the President and you will have to live with that for at least 4 years. So what we as "intelligent" people should do is think about the fact that we are all Democrats and think about the positives both candidates have and move on. As you can see if it was up to you we would've had a nominee by now. Please let each individual make up their own mind, don't try to persuade anyone by your harsh remarks.

Not a single attack on American soil has occurred since September 11, 2001. You can sleep at night because my son and his fellow soldiers are protecting you from the Radical Islamic Leaders that want to enslave the world, unless they convert to Islam and worship their God.
Hillary and McCain are the only ones that will stand in the gap.

No Bama in the Whitehouse. We will not surrender.

What part of this is a Christian Nation don't you idiots understand.

This story reveals the superior wisdom Obama has shown: He opposed the War in Iraq; and he is against the Gas Tax Relief proposals from Clinton and McCain.
In both instances Clinton has chosen to make decisions that are politically expedient. She knows, as Obama knows, that the $25-30 savings to Americans who drive will not help and will put the Country's hiway and bridge safety at risk.
Bush's "Mission Accomplished" sign is a prime example of how "politics as usual" must change. Bush now claims he didn't mean we had won the War in Iraq. But every thinking America knows that is a lie. Clinton has shown that she will tell a lie in a heart beat if she thinks it will help her. Why can't we just say to our government representatives that we do not want government officials standing up telling lies? Lying is not a virtue. Often times, lying is used to cover up crimes. How is it that we have forgotten that?

Save our Country. Keep Obama out of the Whitehouse. Don't let the fox into the chicken coop.

if hillary is nominated

the dems are handing the white house to mccain

our troops should have been pulled out ,right after the now infamous 'mission accomplished',debacle.instead bush/cheney went for rebuilding contracts,oil reserves,and occupation.they should be in jail for 4050 + american deaths,in iraq!

…So sick of the NObama followers who have to comment with a Bible verse. SHOUT: "God Bless Obama" or "We Shall Prevail…" This Great Man Will Heal The Nation…"

The White House will be one great big Chapel if NObama is President.

Now, my turn; "If NObama is elected, "God Help Us…"

Go Hillary!!!!!

Paris May 1st, 2008 1:28 pm ET

I hate to break it to you Mr. Obama but war is a dynamic environment and things changes on the ground.
Our mission of dismantling Sadam’s regime has been successful and that mission was accomplished.
But when you are building democracy it takes time.
I suggest you catch-up on your Meddle east studies.
One question can you please have your wife explain her thesis

Please proof read before you submit text. Just as what he is saying. Things take time. Everybody is ready for a hurry up and fix it plan and it doesn't work out well if it is not planned. We did not plan well and we are paying for it STILL.

Bush has lower ratings than Nixon: MISSION ACCOMPLISHED!

Hey Milwaukee for Obama, your ignorance is astounding! And for the rest of you liberal morons, if you are educated and gamefully employed outside academia, the economy is in great shape. Work to achieve success, and enjoy your rewards. Stop reading Kerouac and put out the joint.

After the first Gulf war, a good many neo-cons wondered why Daddy Bush didn't go after Sadam and "finish the job." Now we know why, and too bad Geo. Bush didn't follow his father's lead and show restraint, instead of wild-west shoot 'em-up antics. Baddest move of all time.

Same old biased CNN. Obama has a bad couple of weeks, so they try to take the focus off him and put it on Bush with a poll that most likely was biased as well. And people say that Fox News is biased. We see through your games CNN. We know you are the Democrat mouthpiece! I bet you are even being paid to write anti-Bush, anti-republican, articles so that Obama seems to be the "better" choice. IDIOTS!

First, Bush said "let's go in cos Saddam has WMDs", when none were found, he said, "well, he possessed the intent to make WMDs", when that did not wash, he said, "well, sadamm's regime was tyrannical and the is safer place". While i'm glad to see saddam go, i think Bush insulted everyone by coming up with these ridiculous excuses for going to war, insulted everyone by declaring "mission accomplished" and that is not even the worst part! The worst part is that there are still people out there who feel going to Iraq was the right thing to do! Tell that to the families of thousands of soldiers who were sent to iraq!

Tell em Barack. Never declare victory or act arrogant before the "mission" really IS accomplished.

Adolf gave an infamous victory speech during WW2….boasting that the Germans had also mission accomplished in defeating the Soviets in Stalingrad. We all know how that turned out.

Obama is not a strong enough leader. He's scared to Debate Hillary, how is he going to stand up to the leaders of the world?

Debby it's so sad how you don't know the facts and speak with ignorance. Obama did go over to Iraq with Senator Bond in 2006.

Senator Obama has no right to say a word against G. Bush. Just look at how much he promised to his own Illinois district and just how much he really accomplished. Absolutely nothing. In fact, that district has more proverty, crime, drug use, corrupt politicians and miserable conditions than when he was elected. And Obama says he will fix the problems in all 50 states. What a big lie. What a big horse laugh.
He has run his whole campaign on bogus promises.
And yes, he has voted for every war bill/legislation since his election to the senate in Washington. This is just more of his political rhetric.

Obliberate Iran? Oh my God, Hillary and I thought you had experience.

Darth you are an idiot. You have no clue as to what Obama will bring to our country. Try reading his book and also do your own research.
You appear to be one of those intellectuals supporting this man, yet you fail to do your research and rely on speeches.

Hitler did the same thing and by the time the German people knew what was happening it was too late.

AMERICA , Consider yourselfs warned. Paul Revere… The British are coming. will be now. The Muslims are coming.

To Mack at 2:30 PM

Hillary didn't come up with the balanced budget. How does the prosperity of the 90's go to showing she's "proven" when her husband was in charge?

obama dont be a hypocrete you were nat able to vote for the war,because you were not in the senate.Yiet you you say you are againt the war.Well I have news for you pal alot people are againt the war.Are you trying to win votes by saing that you had judgement.Where was your judgement on Whrigt?ON VACATION?

Bloobberg is spending a lot of mony to buy all these so call supers.

Pay attention folks. Clinton says "OBLITERATE IRAN" McCain sings "BOMB BOMB BOMB IRAN" They both voted for the Iraq war on false intelligence reports. Clinton didn't even read the reports and voted for it! Gun toat'n girl is a warmonger, too. "OBITERATE" that means children, women, grandparents!!!!!!!!!! Wake up America.

Here again is Hillary giving a plan and Obama giving rhetoric. God bless us all if this Mini Me Bush gets into office.

Obama woul have us believe that, in his 20- years relationship with Wright, it never was made known to Obama the racist sentiments harbore by Wright.
Believe this, along with the rest of Obama's rhetoric, if you want , but I choose not to, as Obama talks a good game and only offers something that he cannot fulfill.
If Obama was aware of Wright's sentiments, which I think tha he was, this makes him not only a racis, but also a hypocrite who professes a desire to brig this country together.

OBAMA the true leader the world has been waiting for.New sence of direction,excellent leadership qualities,a uniter and forward looking person.
GO OBAMA '08

She voted to authorize the war in Iraq and has yet to apologize for this huge blunder, unlike John Kerry and John Edwards has aready done so. Now, she wants the American people to believe she will expediently bring the troops home.

Praetorian, Fort Myers

I guess Ghandi was a bad guy.

What the heck is wrong with you people on the right, did you all grow up near powerplants and have brain damage?

If the mission was to get rid of Saddam Hussein, then the mission was accomplished. If the mission was to get rid of WMDs, none were found, then the mission was accomplished. The only reason for being their now, is because the accomplished mission created such chaos that it's impossible to leave. Anyone with any sense could have forseen this outcome. The Bush presidency is the worst ever and I'm not sure that anyone is going to fix this mess any time soon.

Five years ago, after swaggering across the carrier deck under the 'Mission Accomplished" banner, Bush, exhibiting his typical disconnect from reality and lack of mental capacity, smirkingly declared that "major combat operations in Iraq have ended." Before being impeached, removed from office and put on trial in the Hague for crimes against humanity, he should be forced to repeat that statement in person to each set of parents of the thousands of American men and women who have sacrificed their lives in vain since then because of his reckless stupidity. Shame on the American people who elected him–not once, but twice.

Jack……get your fact right….The preaching he was talking about on 293 was on memorial….day get your fact right…..neocons at their best.

We need to elect a Democrat to change the way America is going….please give us a candidate we can vote for……One side is always slinging mud and calling the other side names (and it is not Clinton's) …I have never seen so much putting-down! All you out there for Obama, why don't you try to be polite? Or do you think you have to be dirty and ugly for him so his actions can all seem above aboard? I am really tired of reading your trash and your put-downs.

Go, Hillary!

Dear Paris,
Did you use "Meddle east studies" purposefully, or was it a Freudian slip?

(from dictionary.com - meddle: to involve oneself in a matter without right or invitation; interfere officiously and unwantedly)

For Sen. Obama to compare Pres. Bush's "mission accomplished" speech to Sen. Clinton's proposed temporary relief from high gas prices is idiocy. That's a desperate stretch if I ever heard one. The fact is that in Sen. Clinton, we have a rare window of opportunity to elect a woman who would probably be the most capable president ever. And if we are now to survive the serious problems left by the Bush administration, we surely need someone of her caliber. Please. Sen. Obama is by no means ready for this job. He should have waited, but he didn't.

As Mr. Obama is prone to doing in his "non-divisive and unifying" campaign, he is telling why everyone else's plan is bad without providing a plan of his own. This man is hyprocrisy in action and is taking the democratic party down the slow road to political suicide in the fall.

The plan is a short term "break" to let people catch their breath a bit and Hillary's has a way of paying for it. She combines this with longer term solutions. Obama's doing everything he says he stands against (negativity, nitpicking a part of an overall solution) to try to make the other candidates look worse. Just another cheap politician doing business as usual. Get out of the pool before you hurt yourself (again).

Sen. Obama was the only one of the candidates who used good judgment to vote against this dumb war in Iraq; and he is the only one qualified to withdraw the US troops out of Iraq. The two so-called "experienced" candidates voted for the war. America can NOT afford to make the error of voting for Sen. Clinton and McCain.

If the american people use good judgment and vote for Sen. Obama, he will defeat Clinton and McCain and bring this war to an end !

Bring our troops home NOW !!!!

It's time for REAL change in Washington, it's time for Barack Obama for president !

I believe McCain's son's are serving in the armed services–and have served in Iraq.

Nads–is the personal convition, as President, that staying on course is the best thing for all Americans–not necessarily your own children–but the majority of Americans—and the legacy of America that the President inherents from all future generations.

It boggles my mind how you people keep saying that Obama is all talk and he has no solutions. You want to believe the lies that HIllary tells you then fine, but if you would actually do some research you would find that he actually has a lot of excellent solutions and most of his solutions were created way before Hillary stole his ideas. Most of her so-called solutions scare me because she has no clue and no vision on how to lead this country. She's just going with the flow and pandering to get back into the white house. Please tell me why didn't she read the NIE report before she voted for the war???? Why???? She didn't start protesting the war until she started running for President. Why didn't she have an exit strategy until the debate in January after she heard Obama's? When asked the question initially before the January debate she couldn't answer the question! Then all of a sudden in the Jan debate she started talking about her 60 day withdrawal? She doesn't have a clue!

McClinton & McCain are one in the same. We need long term fixes not short term pandering. They are both out of touch with reality.
Please let this be done.
Obama 08

So Clinton says that the way forward is to use diplomacy?… is that why she promised to obliterate Iran? This woman is beyond scary…
Be afraid…be very afraid…

Yes we can! Obama '08…

Clinton voted for the war in Iraq and has yet to apologize for her poor judgment, as have John Kerry and John Edwards have already apologized. Now she tries to convince the American people that she will expediently bring our troops home.

She will be defeat by Sen. Obama and so will McCain.

The problem is–most Americans are out of touch with the history and promise of America and it's mandate in modern times to be the standard bearer in the world for life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. Because we take those personal freedoms for granted–it's sometimes diffiucult to have empathy for others who live in cutlures where freedom of speech is non-existent.

Thats a desperate stretch Mr Obama!

With all respect to Obama's supporters, I am somewhat taken back by the comments both Obama and Hillary supporters make, against each other. I truly believe the media has overplayed the effects of the Rev. Wright, they should just put it to rest. Both candidates has their faults, BUT the main concern is for the Democrats to win in November, and alot of people don't think he can deliver. I am sure alot of people are torn between these two wonderful candidates, as I am. Voting Obama, is voting another 4 four years of BUSH. If Obama gets the nomination, I hope we can agree a mistake was made and move forward and all unite to get back the Whitehouse in 2012 from the Republicans.

Sen. Obama was the only one of the candidates who used good judgment to vote against this dumb war in Iraq; and he is the only one qualified to withdraw the US troops out of Iraq. The two so-called "experienced" candidates voted for the war. America can NOT afford to make the error of voting for Sen. Clinton and McCain.

If the american people use good judgment and vote for Sen. Obama, he will defeat Clinton and McCain and bring this war to an end !
Bring our troops home NOW !!!!

It's time for REAL change in Washington, it's time for Barack Obama for president !

Obama is nothing but a Joke!

Did you hear that Sen. McCain wants to keep our troops defending us indefinitely? Who would vote for such a man for president?

Americans for McCain '08

To Ron,
Obama is the only one who can say anything about black or white b/c he is both…100% allowed to do so, do you have a problem with it…I think he is very experienced in that area!!! We need somebody who is like a coin that has two sides.

The sign didn't say "Mission Accomplished in Iraq", Barack. Please, just shut up unless you can get it "Wright", get it??

You Knuckleheads don't have a clue about what is happening?

Well, if anyone watched Foxnews last night everything remains the same. But guess what ,Foxnews did not tell you that now the Rev. Wright has gone over to Mrs. Clintons side ,Will wonders every cease. There is a saying that goes like this "Now is the time for all good men to come to the aid of their country". They do not want this to be out but if it is not true then for God sake tell me now. OBAMA here I come.!!!!!

She voted to authorize the war in Iraq and has yet to apologize for this huge blunder, unlike John Kerry and John Edwards has aready done so. Now, she wants the American people to believe she will expediently bring the troops home.

Sen. Obama was the only one of the candidates who used good judgment to vote against this dumb war in Iraq; and he is the only one qualified to withdraw the US troops out of Iraq.

It's time for REAL change in Washington, it's time for Barack Obama for president !

Obama says he always opposed the war, but is on record saying he'd have voted to authorize the troops and has voted in favor of every spending bill while in office. Nice job of playing both sides of the fence!

Can anybody envision this wimp Obama as Commander-In-Chief?

Sir, we dont embark in the act of war on consensus–we rely on a sound government to answer those questions for us. Though you were still sucking up on the political scene in Chicago at the time–our congress, senate, and President determined the course the nation was to take and the nation went on that course.

Commitment, dedication to the nations principles–and willingness to "swim upstream" if it's best for the nation—–that's what we expect from a President. You are better suited to a school board–where the loudest get hear–or the highest donors.

Now our Supreme Court appointed President is telling us that the Mission Accomplished banner pertained only to the sailors on the USS Abraham Lincoln. This Mr. Bush has done nothing but lie to and mislead the American people since he took office. He is the very worst president the United States has ever had. He is despicable. Anyone who voted for Bush should be ashamed of themselves. Losers.
The best President was Abraham Lincoln, followed by FDR.

In reading the responses I see there are actually still people that support George Bush and his handling of the war. That is beyond crazy.

It's been five years and…..

Hillary is still ducking sniper fire so the war couldn't be over

It has only been 5 years so Barack still has 15 years before he proclaims that the war today is not the same war I voted against 20 years ago

John McCain still has 95 years on his 100 war calendar

WHAT A PATHETIC BUNCH. IF THIS IS THE BEST THAT AMERICA HAS TO OFEER FOR LEADERSHIP WE ARE IN DEEP DO DO

People, stop leaving personal messages and statements showing your ignorance!

Push for a resolution on the issues… not your personal feelings towards a particular candidate because of anything that is not important to the PEOPLE of AMERICA.

OBAMA/EDWARDS '08

Wow. Love the idiot commenter who advises Obama to brush up on his, "Meddle East" studies.

Straight Talk Express coming through (Sorry McSame) !!!!!

the world needs obama? are you crazy??? What the heck is he going to do (if he gets elected) except probably be worse than Dubya. Wake up people! the only thing he does is speak well and there is no way possible he is going to do what he says…..he cracks me up. All he does is make pretty speeches but has not solutions.
GO HILLARY !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

If you listen closely about Obama’s ideas regarding foreign policy, most of them involve “we will not allow them to ……..;”, “we will change their……..,”; “we will talk to them about………”etc. I remember Obama mentioned the power of now; from what I understand it points out “Our pain mostly coming from trying to control or change someone or something besides ourselves”. I travel oversea quite often and realize there is a general misconception of how Americans think people from other country think about U.S. A lot of American thinks people in other country hates U.S., after talking to varieties of people from different countries, most of them like United States they just don’t understand why American like to tell them how to run their country or what they should or should not do. According to them, they wish they can be like United States in many ways; however, they have their own sets of social, economical, religious, infrastructural and political problems to work out before they can reach to that stage.

Obama’s ideas sound good; however, I have not heard he said what U.S. position is when other countries do not listen to us or do not do what we want them to do. On the other hand, experience comes with wisdom, Hillary states U.S. position before giving options on what U.S. can offer corresponding to each case regarding our foreign policy. It may not sound good to some people; however, it seems to be a more natural way of handling things involve other countries.

For people who do not know what it means to be a Christian; Christianity is not about perfection. It is about living the life of intergrity and an authentic life. To me Obama has that. That's why his opponents are working so hard to tarnish his image. You can destroy a man's name but not his character. Obama is who he is:a human being with imperfections. And if God is able to look past most of our deficiencies, we should be able to move on. Life is never static or stagnant. It's always on the move. If you don't want to join the change wargon don't stand against it. Otherwise you may get run over. Be a part of the change process or sit it out.

Joe Andrew, An Obama supporter is a partner in this law firm if that tell you anything

they did get a mission accomplished. they secured Iraq's oil fields. that was the main objective.

In regards to Mack's comment.
Hillary is one (1) point a head of Obama one point, that is hardly anything to come to the conclusion of "let's vote for somene who is proven" Proven what? That she can lie, that she can be deceitful?
The Clinton's cost the taxpayers millions when Bill was in office….Monica…Whitewater…the list goes on…. Having a Billary combo in the office will bankrup our aleady sink economy!!
Hillary voted for the war remember? No one forced her to do that.
Obama said no to the war….Let's vote for someone who does not go with the regular politics and vote for Obama. He is for change and God knows we need to get a honest, trustworthy person in the White House! That would be Obama.

Sen obama is the only candidate i will trust to get our troops home as safely as possible. i have two in the military, 19 and 20. they have more courage and honor than all of the hillary fans tied together. Hillary is a liar and evil. i would never trust her to keep our troops safe. she already wants to obliterate Iran. she's an idiot.

Hillary supporters want her or McCain to hurry and get in office to start another war with Iran. Let's see if they'll be screaming Hillary when they or their loved ones get drafted.

Yeah, that whole "Mission Accomplished" photo op has to be one of the dumbest things Bush ever did.

And as for President George W. Bush and his administration…

The MISSION was accomplished:

Screw over American families… ACCOMPLISHED!
Kill innocent young men and women in a FAILED war… ACCOMPLISHED!
Destroy the economy… ACCOMPLISHED!
Jack up the HEALTHCARE SYSTEM… ACCOMPLISHED!
Divide people across the NATION… ACCOMPLISHED!
Show the AMERICAN PEOPLE that their government under his administration is not for the PEOPLE… ACCOMPLISED!
Cause a multitude of PEOPLE to lose HOPE… ACCOMPLISHED!
Lie, Lie, Lie and look more and more STUPID… ACCOMPLISHED!

So, in some sort of reality the mission really was ACCOMPLISHED it was just the MISSION of a few retards!

I am so tired of the Obama blogger's and a few who claim to support Clinton also, but not the way I am of Obama supporters.

First, you post the most hateful things, then turn around and accuse the Clinton supporters of being negative. Then, when the media finally pays some attention to Obama, you scream that its unfair, but you rolled in the floor and celebrated for 15 months as the media ripped Hillary apart on every issue. Every time Obama picks up a super, you claim its the start of something…yeah another round of hateful blogging. By the way, Clinton has picked up 5 more supers in the last few hours but we don't get a blog about that.

I am tired of Obama supporters calling older voters names. I am tired of them calling people who do not worship Obama racist. You are not the chosen people. I would suggest you grow up and stop the name calling, the false rumors, and realize that youth or level of education does not make you superior.

I would also like to ask CNN to post this. I read millions of post where the post are a majority of negative Clinton rants. They never deal with issues. Then the Obama supporters cry if someone disagree's. We need balance here. I dare any Obama supporter who claims Clinton supporters are hateful to go back and actually read the Obama supporter blogs and tell me who is more hateful.

Hillary supporters want to talk issues, but we never can because we have to muddle through 100's of hateful comments and then we are not even posted.

Obama supporters. Show you have hope and change your tone.

IF Obama is elected, he will have his hands full of a war within our country so he won't have to bother with Iraq.

Nigel, Clinton won't win either and that means no real change for the country even with either her or Mccain. At least Obama has new ideas and is serious about actually achieving something and not pandering. Americans really! you need to be sharper about these things. We do agree though on the media's hyper interest on the Wright issue. Bur od course it is an easy story for your media- it doesn't require any deep, critical and actual brain work!!!!

To Ron and Mike:

Shame on you!!! for displaying your racism. How disappointing and sad it is to see such a disqusting display of racism. I am a white older female and I believe in equality for all. Doesnt matter what color

This war is wrong..period. FYI..Sen. Obama Does have the fortitude and strength to not only get us out of this war, but to begin again the necessary international dialog we need.

Sen. Clinton just wants to "obliterate Iran"
Sen. McCain cant wait to Bomb Bomb Bomb Iran

Outragious statements from inconsistant people.

Hillary Clinton is UNELECTABLE. She steals money from hard working Americans. She leaves the door wide open while illegal immigrants come pouring across the border. She wants to obliterate other countries. Hillary is so unelectable, she does not even qualify to be councilman.

Hillary said we are capable which is different then we definitely will. She’s simply stating U.S. position on certain issue and leave Iran to decide their own destiny.

Barack Obama's lack of solutions to any of our real problems will be a long term problem if he ever makes it to the White House.

Speaking of the military…did you know that during the Bill Clinton adminstation, the military was reduce with base closings and troop reductions. Favoring a smaller and more technical military. I think those moves only weaken our armies to fight more effectively. Is this the expierence Hilary is talking about? Also China figures very prominently in the Clinton's Aministration. If Hilary is elected president, we might be called the United States of West China. We better brush up on speaking and reading Chinese.

Hillary Clinton: Liar, Liar, pant-suit on fire.

Integrity is more important than experience.

We have had one President who has launched the country into a war based on a lie. Now we have a candidate who has admitted to saying something different than what "she knew to be the truth." Sleep deprivation??? Maybe, but then I don't want her answering the phone at 3 am!

I have been a huge Hillary supporter. I am no longer. We can't afford another liar in the White House. The one we have has already cost over 4,000 lives.

Why isn't Barak addressing this very aggressively?

George Bush deserves to be the most unpopular president in modern history…..and history will not be any kinder to him. It is gratifying to see that the electorate has come out of their deep sleep….and see this man for what he really is. The decision to invade Iraq was a political stunt tinged with revenge which Bush in his infinite wisdom chose to do in spite of advice from his military leaders and others. The aircraft carrier photo op complete with Mission Accomplished banner was all part of the PR campaign orchestrated by Mr. Rove. The Leader of the world's only superpower chose to play GI Joe with human lives and real bombs. What a fool he looks like now…..

Dying to have more of the same…..vote for his BFF John McCain. Obama may not have a lot of experience but unlike Mr. Bush he has an IQ over 75! Mr. Obama really has earned his leadership role……as a bi-racial child with no trust fund and raised by a single mother rather than someone who felt he was entitled since his last name is Bush.

We need to be inspired by a leader that can help us regain our stature as a force for good in the world. Obama can help us do that!

Bush fooled us by going to war, in the long run we would have all the oil we want. He said it when he was running for re-election and by pandering we were taken in and he won. Here comes Hillary with the same gimmick how she will relieve our plight for 3 months, does'nt it seem odd that after McCain came up with that brainstorm she joined the bandwagon. She saw a chance to pick up votes by telling the american public what they wanted to hear. I've watched a lot of news and most of them say this will not work and is just a ploy to get votes and if the american people would understand politics they would see it, but because the american public does'nt follow politics and all they see is someone telling them what they want to hear it will probably work for her.

The Man with a MIssion.. Who lost his Moment..

I'm with Darth Vadik. The ignorance and stupidity of the 28% true-believers is appalliing. Many on here are asking, "who are these 28%"? Well, they are all around you; their viewpoints can be found peppered thoughout the comments on all these topics. These comments stick out like the red-hindends of babooons sitting in the trees. There is very little substance to what they have to say; but that's not surprising, since there is no substantive logic-based analysis that could ever explain and justify what has happened over the lasty 7 years. The surprising thing is that they choose to post at all, and publicly display their stupidity — what we read from these dimwits are dogmatic, vacuous, deceitful, and off-topic statements.

The scary thing is, these right-wingers would buy a seat on the Hindenberg, if it had "Mission Accomplished" and the face of Bush painted on it. I for one would happily sell them their tickets to get onboard.

With the 28% true-believers in place, America will have to struggle mightily to raise its voting IQ in the next presidential election.

Yeah Hillary wants to end the Iraq war so she start another one with IRAN. IRAN is not the same country as Iraq, the people will revolt so let's not be hasty and let's keep our american soldiers safe from unnecessary wars.

IS Hillary running as a DEM or a REPUB?? I am confused because it looks to me this fight for the white house is between Hillary and Obama not McCain. McCain is out, bye bye Bushie.

Clinton does not want to obliterate Iran, she said we are able to. Some idiots never get it right. I guess if you go to college you forget the little words like may and shall. Hope none of them are going to be making up any contracts.

I don't understand, Hillary's pastor is a child molester and she didn't leave her church. Why is that ok? Barack's FORMER pastor just speaks like an idiot. That is not that bad. Don't catholic ministers denounce gay people? Aren't there ministers who molest children, that seems worse to me. And Barack did denounce his pastor pretty harshly this week. Barack has never gotten angry with Hillary because she is his fellow democrat. Why are people guilty when someone else said something bad? I don't get it.

Bush is the biggest dummy ever!!!!! How does he even have more than 10% of people liking him? It must be one person voting for him over and over again on this internet poll, probably his mom.

Just go away Elmer Fudd.

Wow. This story was about Bush declaring "Mission Accomplished." Democrats have really lost their perspective.

I don't think Obama could get a dog to roll over. He can't even get his wife to talk right.

Bush has provided hundreds of political "commercials" for the Democrats come election time. If they cannot win this one they need to disband and just have one the one party. —— The Corporation Party

Perhaps some wars are "inevitable," but most are avoidable.

Many of the world's oldest nations have sent generations into wars that have devoured decades & centuries of their people. Their wars never truly end, except for brief & uneasy periods of "peace." Their losses are great. Their wounds aren't given opportunities to heal. It becomes their way of life.

God help the United States to avoid becoming one of those.

There is still hope. Si se puede! Obama 2008!

Jack guy on this blog site, you are dumb, I said the same thing does that mean that I went to Wright's sermons? No, it doesn't. It is a fact that HIroshima bombing happened . Face it.

ANd to all the Obama haters on this site what the Heck do you mean when you say go back where you came from because that sounds pretty bad. Where do you think he came from? The same place as you. Stop your hate.

Obama has a lot of haters!!! I believe Obama is the wisest of them all! He definitely has wisdom and show it every time he speaks. You Obama haters need to face the fact! He is going to be our next President! Get use to it!

You tell them Obama!!!

Wake up people we have a chance to make real change…not just flipping parties

…and all the members of congress and senate (including Sen. Clinton) listened to a clueless administration! They say they were essentially duped, but it's funny that most of America was not. Most of us said that the war was not justified from the start! We said that we had no business invading that country and that it would turn into another Vietnam. Hmmm…we were actually right.

Let's be right again, but this time take action. Vote democrat in November. Vote Obama!

Hussein Obama want to talk to AL QAEDA,HAMAS,IRAN,NORTH KOREA,SYRIA AND CUBA WITHOUT ANY PRECONDITION WHAT SO EVER. I THINK HUSSEIN OBAMA SHOULD BE ASHAME OF HIMSELF FOR SAYING THAT.

GO HILLARY!

Stop misrepresenting HIllary. I would not mind $30 bucks in my pocket this summer.

Difference here is WORDS vs ACTION.

We all know this is not a permanent FIX.

Just as the politicos wrangle
