please let's go back to Clinton years. Average inflation was 1.5%-2%. We were well above historical average of GDP growth (which is 3%).

One way to do it - choose someone who is smart and knows the deal

Vote Hillary in 2008

Issue number one(#1), is to get Senator Clinton in the White House; the other steps, concerns and issues will then fall into place!

Go Hillary!!!!!!

Well heck…. Hillary and McSame are going to save us .30 cents a day this summer! Well i'll be… How do i vote for both of them at the same time? HA! This race is over - the educated will now speak!

OBAMAMABO

I'M HONEST ABE AND I APPROVE THIS MESSAGE!

Then they should vote for the candidate that will bring the house and the senate and the people of America together…..Barack Obama.

Not the great divider….Hillary Clinton.

Or the second coming of Bush…..McCain.

Vote for Obama.

the question should be now: WHO can fix that mess…
maybe someone with experience??

Go Hillary

If this is true… we need a conservative.

IRAQ = ECONOMY. Its that simple.

The only candidate equipped to handle all of these issues is Senator Clinton. She gave very detailed answers on O'Reilly. Even Morning Joe and Pat Buchanon gave her some credit.

Dems, let's kiss and make up! Clinton/Obama 2008/2012

Hard working Folks Just Don't Understand How Michael Bloomberg, a "Billionare" says giving the American people a gas tax relief is the Dumpest thing he ever heard, and Sen Obama Agrees with him. Why ????????????????????????????????

let's go democrats!!!!!!! we need to take the house from the destructive republicans!!!

how long are we going to let McCain get a free ride?

All his gaffes' on foreing policy!! He does not know squat!!!

he was introduced by a HEALTH LOBBYIST at one of his events, and 2 LOBBYISTS WORK ON HIS CAMPAIGN!!!!

YET HE SITS THERE, ALL HOLIER-THAN-THOU AND CLAIMS HE IS AGAINST SPECIAL INTEREST

DEMOCRATS UNITE IN 08!!! WE CANNOT AFFORD ANOTHER BUSH TERM!!!!

So we all know who to vote for if we're concerned about the economy: Hillary!!!

Obama is unelectable as new polls even show Hillary ahead of him for the first time in North Carolina.

Ouch! Looks like it's gonna hurt big time come next Tuesday! Obama better have a strecher waiting and Reverand Wright, his "father" as he calls him, there to say a few prayers over him!

This certainly strengthens the case for Clinton as the Democratic nominee. The economy is her strongest suit, and the biggest weakness in the McSame candidacy.

Obama may be regretting at this point that he decided to cede the kitchen table issues to Clinton and concentrate on abstractions like transforming the state of political discourse.

Guess they will voting for hillary , since obama has no plans for anything. He is just going wing it.

The more reasons to elect another Clinton in to the White House. Hello? national budget surplus and period of prosperity ring a bell anyone? Well, I guess not to the young voters.

But…what about flag pins, "bitter" remarks, and comments made by an obscure pastor seven years ago? How will our lives ever improve without devoting 24 hours a day of news coverage to these pressing issues?

THERE IS ONLY ONE PRESIDENT FOR ELECTION. THE ONE THAT STANDS TALL LIKE OUR FLAG AND FIGHTS LIKE OUR MILITARY. HILLARY CLINTON IS OUR ONLY PRAYER.

That's because the Democrats want it to be about the economy. That is minor compared to the war on Radical Islam and illegal immigration.

Heard today that the Congress does not want to bring up the immigration reform bill until after the election. Wonder Why?

Don't want to upset the illegals and the liberals I bet.

OF course voters are worried about the economy, because America's slipping! We've got to unite around our man Obama and get this problem solved.

Obama 08!

Economy was THE BEST EVER during Clinton's presidency!

Go Hillary, you are THE CHANGE WE NEED!!!!!

Hillary says we need both short term relief and a long term plan for high gas price.
I totally agree. We need both.

If that's the case, McCain should lose in a landslide.

Obama supporters: what is that you do not like, the prosperity or the peace that we enjoyed during the Clinton years? Us black Americans have benefited from the Clinton's work. And now our own Obama comes and denounces Rev Wright and most of our ministers using the incredible argument that he did not know. We black Americans know that what Rev Wright said represents the thinking of many in our community and it is insulting to us that Obama panders to white voters by renouncing to his beliefs of 20 years. I am offended and feel insulted by Obama's double face and double talk.

Now that the economy is starting to turn around, by the end of summer we will probably be back to where Iraq is the #1 issue.

If the economy is your No.1 issue in selecting our next president look into presidential canidate Ron Paul's positions in fixing the economy.

That definitely seems to favor Clinton, especially since no one really knows what Obama's policy is on the economy other than "change."

Peter Paul vs Cliton…CNN are you awake???

I want someone to answer this question. If we can kill someone who is hundreds of miles away from us using a computer, put people into space, with all of our technology, one would have to think that we would be able to get 40-50 MPG with the cars we now drive, and at least 30 for the over the road trucks.Think about it. The car companies could fix the problem within one year, without people having to buy new cars. HHHHUUUMMMMMM might tick off the oil companies and ond less problem for the politicans to make promises about. Bash President Carter all you want. If we had kept up what he had started, we just might not be in some of the mess we are now. Check it out for yourself.

unofortunately the majority of people don't understand the economy but yet that's their main focus. for them to even think that a poorly planned tax holiday would be of any benefit is ludicrous. Posters are saying that the extra money saved would put food on someone's table. Tell me please where i could go anywhere and get food at 30 cents a day. Honestly if 30 cents would put food on someone's table they're having a much bigger problem than affording gas for their car. they probably don't even own a car and are not concerned with high gas prices. not only will it not put much food on their table, after the holiday the price will rise (it will rise during it as well) and then come September the price of gas will be much higher than it already is.

so, the economy is their main concern and they want 30 cents a day to buy food.

Clinton could've done more to affect the price of gasoline by not traveling with 10 huge vehicles to make a point of pumping gas and showing the common people how common she is by not being able to figure out a coffee machine. And why would you show a huge gas guzzling truck in your ad. You should be encouraging smaller, less gas guzzling vehicles–that's the only way the price of gasoline will come down. The oil companies were probably salivating during that promo—encouraging those huge gas guzzling trucks.

Gas Tax Relief For. The Hard working Folks Just Don't Understand How Michael Bloomberg, a "Billionare" says giving the American people a gas tax relief is the Dumpest thing he ever heard, and Sen Obama Agrees with him. Why ????????????????????????????????

The economy SHOULD BE the #1 issue. What concerns me is MOST Americans "say" they want "real answers" but always seem to gravitate to the "easy answer". A PERFECT example of this is the GAS TAX VACATION that McCain and Hillary have proposed. Close to 8 out of 10 economist have said this is a BAD IDEA and yet about 50% of Americans want to do it.

Many of us are WAY to short sighted and when our leaders tell us there are tough times ahead that may require "some" sacrifice..we vote them out..or don't vote for them. We have been warned about gas going up 15 years ago and our politicians and we the people ignored it.

IF we had put even a 5 mile per gallon increase on the CAFE standards 5 years ago this mess wouldn't be as bad as it is today.
We need to toughen up and make some HARD decisions in the next 3-4 years or it is only going to get worst.

Great news for us Dems! Whether Hillary or Obama, we have the know-how to help our economy regain its composure. McCain is a joke on this issue.

What's ironic is that the war is in large responsible for the state of our economy. We need to stop spending billions of dollars every month on a war that never should have been waged. That money is better used to fund health care programs, education initiatives, and social security. We're wasting a lot of money. END IT!

Obama 2008

I wonder if they will go for Hillarys "experience" - I mean all the Clinton documents showed she attended all the cabinet meetings….wait…she didn't and it was lie (aka misspeak) - omg…say it isn't so….people who support Hillary baffle me….btw…no they don't "all" do it….Hillary is the only…"misspeaker"

10 years back I check the price of the products
Now I check price and quantity of the products
More than that before buy any thing I check my pocket
I hope Bill presidency will back
Hillary 08

Oh yeah…the economy is the top issue.

Hiallary 's gas price plan is good for the economy and poor and uneducated man like me. It will make my day if some one can make a penny priceless per galon. John Mcain is better than Nobama but Hillary is the best. Hillay is for 2008-20016.

It's sad, but true; while we pray for, and worry about our military men and women (I am retired on combat service disability) all over the world, it's hard to focus on Iraq when you leave home, get in the car and realize that gas prices are ten-times! what they were when you started driving in 1977, milk is so expensive that you have to save for a 5.76 cent gallon, unemployment is going to run out in a few weeks, and there is still no job in sight.

How have we gotten to this place? This isn't the Arab world, storms, or other world events; this is unmititgated greed that our oil companies have indulged in.

Obama '08

Right now, the possible impeachment of a "President Hillary" is number one on my mind.

Of course, almost no one knows about this because the Clinton news Network will not give the time of day to a negative Clinton story while they treated the country to 24/7 wall to wall coverage of Wright for minths on end.

Hillary is the best candidate for such a difficult job. Please voters- VOTE HILLARY!

Poor judgement on Obama's part to spend good money on his pennies ad attacking Clinton who is trying to give short-term relief to the poorest of us.
Wake up Obama! We have really serious economic problems facing us that is huge compared to this nit-picking complaining about Hillary's gas tax.
I can understand you wanting to divert attention away from things that affect you negatively, but don't attack someone for trying to do something for us.
You Obama have bigger problems that just the economy etc. You have terrible judgement in who you choose as your friends, and that you expect that to just go away as if it never happened.

Economy is the top issue, and voters overwhelmingly consider Hillary the best equipped to address it. Turn out the lights, the party's over Obamabots. Hillary now needs to focus on McCain and the GE.

Why?? We have learn in Iraq that Bush said he will not speak with Insurgents, but he is paying many of them. That is politics.
Let's just forget about politics and face the reality.
You speak with your enemies to to surrender but to know what is going on.
Jesus the master of the universe said Love your enemies.
Hillary Clinton, George Bush and McCain is telling us that they are smart than Jesus.

Why did people call themself conservatieves, while they support Bush who don't talk to his enemies?
Maybe Clinton, Bush and MacCain should go and read there Bibles.

people have always been focused on the economy/war. it's just some in the media that holds the voting public hostage with your silly side issues.
HOW ABOUT REPORTING ON THE PAUL VS CLINTON CASE, CNN

Typical American public - only focus on a problem when it's too late to do anything about it.

our problems with the economy are directly related to the war in iraq!

That's great news!

Because Americans trust Hillary the most on the economy!

The auto industry can do that, but i guess they work with the oil producing companies so we can consume more oil and more oil means more money for the oil companies and means more sent to the middle East and we keep compaining why the economy is so bad.

Yeah that's what lobbyists do to you.

In brief, the tecnology is not the issue, but the issue is the special interests in Washington: Lobbyists.

Obama pledges to not employing lobbyists once in office and change is going to follow, the auto industry is going to be mandated to make only fuel efficient cars.

Sen. Clinton is the best for the economy. I don't think I have heard Obama talk about the econmy since he is denouncing Rev. Wright and bashing Clinton lately in all his stump speech's.

I think Obama scored some points this week when he rejected the gas tax proposal and instead offered a long term energy strategy. Most economist seem to agree with him. It sickens me when ppl say that he has not been specific especially after 21 debates. His health care, war and economic plans has been specified. STOP FOCUSING ON GOSSIP AND LISTEN, READ AND WATCH MATTERS THAT WILL AFFECT YOUR POCKETS!!!

Obama is the obvious choice: We need action guided by solid judgement, not politically expedient action to look tough or like a "decider."

Seh does not know how to manage the money for her campaign. She even want to give us impression that she is concerned about poor people while she is out of touch. What about giving tax gas for only the summer? $30? just a better way to fix the economy. Its like she does not have some good ecomomics people on her team. Or sh ethinks voters are ignorants

The USA economic situation is what it is because the politics have been played the same way. The rich has gotten richer and the poor,poorer. I wish there could be 3 elected presidents this time around. Imagine, whoever you vote for that's the policies that you would have to live by. For Clinton & McCain voters you would behopeless, homeless and jobless in 4 years. I would be confident with Obamas plan. He tells the truth and that is the only reason that he is being opposed by the powers that be. They don't won't things to change, they aren't hurting like the normal citizens, in fact things look very upbeat for them, you think.

Zogby has released new Poll numbers and non of the MSM outfits have reported on it yet. There must be a media blackout on good news for OBAMA

According to Zogby:
Obama leads by a 50% to 34% margin over Clinton in North Carolina, while the two are tied at 42% support each in Indiana.

Clinton leads by 10 points among white voters in North Carolina – 47% to 37% - but Obama dominates among African American voters, 73% to 10% for Clinton. Among men, Obama leads, 57% to 30%, and he leads among women voters as well – winning 44% support to Clinton’s 37% backing.

Those issues have not been fully addressed because of all the distractions caused by the support of the press for the negative campaign of Clinton clan. Now she is blackmailing the congress for following McSame camp about a holiday "break" and a shaky solution for later on. Why doesn't she give the voters a real break by conceding graciously ? The earlier the better.

Move on Grandma, Bill is older now but as they say old tiger still a tiger. There will be too much distractions in the white house for you to take care besides your role of commander in chief.

Dear CNN I wish you were not biase, I would like to know about the unreported news that Clinton has a case with Peter Paul. Can you please set more light on what is going on?

Top issue: War crimes trials…

Hillary doesn't have solutions. She's following behind John Mccain and we know he doesn't no anything about the economy. All he's running on is 100 yr war.

If people don't see that these 2 candidates are a disgrace to Washington, than they or either naive, stupid, dumb, a fool, or the #1, racist. There is no way theses candidates can go up against Obama. Hillary healthcare reform has been in the making for 14 years. Nothing got done, why in the heck would people of Indy and everywhere feel something will get done, now? Once again Hillary the habitual liar she alway turn out to be. IDIOTS for Hillary in 08!!!!!!

Sen. Obama has aprox. i year experience in the senate as never balanced a budget and all his ideas are sombody elses, we found that out on the ABC debate when he was questioned on his answer regarding raising taxes on capital gains he was totaly lost for answers. Now that ABC as set a precedence on pushing him for answers he refuses to debate.Sen. Clinton was in the white house when her husband was President and was involved in many aspect of running the government.At a time like this when the country is in such poor shape it is not time to take a chance on an unknown quantity.I'll vote Clinton.

If that is the case, then the people of Indiana should not vote for Sen. Clinton. Her gas tax holiday proposal is being critized by economists, congressman and senators, as well as major business consultants……. Hope that they don'f fall for it.

Also, if she had voted for the 2005 Chaney bill, like Sen. Obama, she would be on the train that is forcing 'oil companies' to pay an "11 Million tax" by the year 2011. Amazing how she is not sharing that information, but yet she states that we need to tax oil companies. She had her chance and again, blew it….Ready for Day One? NOT!!!

She can't get it straight during the length of her campaign. I would not let her run my household finances…..

Hillary doesn't have a plan on the economy — she relies on what Bill did in the 90's. It's 2008 — HELLO!!

California Case #BC304174

"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, 2008 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!."

“Had Senator Clinton be forced to testify under oath, as a material witness and beneficiary of the fraud that her husband is being sued for before the Democratic Convention, her remote chances for being nominated the party candidate would have been unquestionably destroyed.”

“Paul contends his case will expose "the institutional culture of corruption embraced by the Clinton leadership of the Democratic Party," which seeks to attain "unaccountable power for the Clintons at the expense of the rule of law and respect for the constitutional processes of government."

All the court documents/evidence is here:

peterfpaul.com

Hey Clinton supporters, what specific economic policies does Clinton have that will fix our economic problems? Do you even know off the top of your head or are you just spitting out rhetoric. Come on now, be honest. Do you know you do you have to run to your computer to look it up? You are just repeating her manipulations and you can't even clarify what her "solutions" even are.

omg steve.have you even seen one of obama's speeches?all he does, is talk about the details of how he wants to change washington.you must be one of those clinton supporters, who is gonna sell his vote,for a lousy $28,and lie after lie.you are sad.

Obama's top ten lists should be:
1. Wright told America I'm just a Politician. Oops…that is true.
2. I'm so eloquent…oops my writer wrote it.
3. This is my economic plan…oops I forgot to ask my advisers first and I'm waiting for Hillary's lead.
4. Let's stick to the actual issue..oops, Michelle and Caroline should say that at CNN..
5. Come on Hillary's defectors and join me…oops do you think you can fool me I will defect also after I win and resurrect my loyal friends Wright, Rezco, and Ayers
6. Bitter and clinging - oops those are not in my dictionary, oops I got it from Wright.
7. Yeah, Wright mocked the Americans and I will lie by saying what he said is offensive….remember I'm a politician.
8. I'm electable…oops Hillary won the big states and has more electoral college votes to date that are crucial in November. Anyway, I fooled the superdelegates including the traitors.
9. Oops….I forgot what to say…where are my advisers.
10. Vote for Hillary…oops vote for me.

PAUL versus CLINTON

"THE LARGEST CAMPAIGN FINANCE SCANDAL OF THE NEW MILLENIUM, HAS BEEN HIDDEN IN PLAIN SIGHT BY THE MAINSTREAM MEDIA"

CNN, BE FAIR !!! REPORT THIS STORY !!!

Good!!! This election has, of late, become nothing short of tabloid. Everyone, regardless of affiliation, needs to focus on the important things!

Cnn total delegates is wrong , pls correct

obama 1746, clinton 1600

What are Clinton's economic solutions. I've heard her rant and rave along with her supporters but have not heard and detailed solutions. I bet the Clinton supporters don't even know, they are just Clinton puppets spitting our their useless rhetoric.

I will stick with Hillary. I can understand what she is talking about when she talks about how to fix the economy. I still can not figure out what Obama wants to change and how. Last time i checked, he was still surrounded by Washington politicians. What will he do to change them? Just a thought.

This mess is the DNC's fault, for penalizinng michagan and flordia and for not having the testiular fortitude earlier to tell the superdelegates to make a choice and stick with it and not jump ship from week to week to whatever canidate has the momentum. I might stay home election day. Post this CNN

geez john in pa.she at least needs to win the nomination,and in case you haven't noticed,SHE'S LOSING!

Hillary is the only candiate that has listed out very specifically her plan to turn around the country. In addition…we will likly have a co-presidency. two smart and experienced people working together to CHANGE our direction. That's what we need!

Hill in 08′~!

IF HILLARY IS THE BEST CANDIDATE, WHY DID SHE VOTE FOR A WAR WHERE 4,000 OF PEOPLES SONS, DAUGHTERS, FATHERS, MOHTERS, SISTERS, BROTHERS AND FRIENDS HAVE DIED.
DO YOU THINK THEY WOULD AGREE. HOW CAN YOU TELL ONE OF THEIR RELATIVES TO VOTE FOR HILLARY, AND HOW CAN YOU. WHAT ABOUT HER INTERNING WITH SELF CONFESSED COMMUNISTS? HUH CNN I BET YOU DO NOT PRINT THIS ONE EITHER.

Hillary all the way!! The smooth talker and script reader is finally coming out to real people with real lives. Your kids future and America's future in hanging in the balance.

Don't have to worry when a fighter for kids and ordinary people is President. Hillary ALL the way.

Obama and his supporters are all about rallies and civil rights and who is stealing the election from him (poor him especially when he makes his faces like that).

Grow up and learn a bit more in the Senate and see you in 8 or 16 years.

Hillary '08

McCain and Clinton…. the type of experience we need to keep the economy in shambles

Alfredo, EXCELLANT!!!!!!

My goidness, is this cynism based on fact or a reflection of ourselves?

Obama has a good speech because of his speech writer? Why cant Bush's McCain's and Clinton pay for better speech writers and other politicians who are not inspiring in the past.

HINT: Beause no one can write you an excellent speech. A strong speech is your LIFE and your BELIEFS and you cant delegate it with inspiring success. The news media reported BO working until 2:00am on his own Philly speech to address the initial WRight controversy. What more needs to be said about the speech. What about the 2004 Democratic convention or the speech on the role of religion in government claimed as one of the best policy positions on this issue in several decades. Let's take away more from him! Wha about his yhears in the legislature? Oh non-experience! There is where he learnt that gas tax holidays dont work (he voted for it the first time and after a study showed it didnt work voted against it when it came fore renewal and now has the courage to say no even at the expense of votes. Some people learn from the past).

Well, duh. That's the result of a recent poll of common sense that says the majority of Americans today are broke.

Super delegates deciede now !!!

Dateline "INDIANANAPOLIS, Indiana"

Is that anywhere close to Indianapolis?

Makes you wonder if there's an editor that reads these before they go out.

IF Hillary is so great why didn't she increase MPG for vehicles in the 90's?

Changing seats in Washington is NOT the answer.

Small wonder–George Bush and Hillary will never have to worry about gas prices. In fact, taxes payers will pay for their gas prices because they ride with the Secret Service.

So they do not feel our pain at the gas pump. Hillary didn't even know how to pump gas, yet she is being touted as a woman of the people. What people, where–The Hamptons?

Think America, she is not the person to run this country. She's elitist and has been out of touch for years. In fact she smiled when she said; I haven't done this in a long time.

Of course McCain will never have to worry either because Cindy will provide for him.

If it's about the economy, which I can believe, then perhaps amongst the reasons for a lagging BO approval is his heavy focus on the war…."I was opposed to the war from the beginning [ad nauseum]"

clinton picked the right issue to focus on, she's got plans,he's got stump speeches and doesn't get it.
he's clearly not ready for this job.

If you do not know Clinton's policy positions on the economy you have been listening to Obama's negative chants too long. Stop and listen to the details–Obama has no details. You may learn more than you wanted to know. Obama will eventually run out of Kool Aid.

Why can't people understand THE WAR IS CAUSING PROBLEMS IN THE ECONOMY. There can be no fix in health care ,education,,etc. when we are in this ivnvasion Bush calls a war. we are barrowing from CHINA to pay for the war. The war is THE ISSUE.

For those of you who think this case has been thrown out – is hasn’t, or is irrelevant – think again:

"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, 2008 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!."

————————————————————————————————————————-

….to answer your question its experience, experience, experience

ENOUGH SAID!

Hillary '08

Hum

She has never pumped gas in her recent memory. made 107 mil for the last 7 years. Sent you tax dollars to Iraq for the war by voting for the war. No wonder when the elctions come voters forget the mess these old style politicians have this country into and after the elctions are over they wonder how come they elected wrong president who will have to bend over backwards to pay back the money they are taking from the lobbyists. If you think Sen Clinton will work for ordinary people keep on dreaming and good luck.

All I need to say is GAS TAXES….who was right on this issue????????

Not the person you want to run our economy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Alfredo - that was total genius! You are very talented!

The biggest problem with our economy IS the Iraq war. The war has strained our resources, both human and material. These issues are intertwined, and one won't get fixed without the other.

The press and pollsters have got to stop trying to simplify these complex problems and breaking them down as independent from one another. Start treating us like adults so we can make good decisions. When people fail to understand what faces us, we end up electing the candidate "we want to have a beer with."

To Paul:

If you do what any responsible voter would do and go to Hillary's Web site and look you will see that she has actual well thought out plans including how to pay for the plans without raising Taxes.

If you go to Obamas Web site you find plans that are a Xerox of the Democratic Party in general, with no information on how they will be paid for!

I'm sure the PA voters made their vote decision based on the facts-available for all to see!

Hillary or McCain 08

Guess who understands and will be best for the economy?

HILLARY.

They forgot to mention the other issues.

Through 2008, 39 percent of people were focused on the issue of Jeremiah Wright, 23 percent were concerned about the 3am commercial, 12 percent were concerned over Hillary's sniper fire drama, and an astounding 26 percent of voters are really trying to figure out what's wrong with Hillary's math skills when it comes to counting who's in the lead!!

The American people seem to be more concerned with the fluff of the election rather than the substance. Obama is the clear choice to lead the country and most people are kidding themselves if they think otherwise.

Thank You Barack for saying the truth about that Gas Deal from Billary and McBush. You are right, Our Family did the Math! We save PENNIES AND nothing else. OBAMA/O8

Both candidates have laid out economic proposals so please don't say that either one hasn't. Pay attention.

The issue is Clinton can't win and is tearing the party apart by this win at all costs attitudes. We had better pull together as democrats given what is at stake in this election; the appointment of 3 supreme court justices, the iraq war, the economy etc.

I am voting for Obama because I am sick of the clintons and their tactics, same old washing game. If by chance she wins the nomination, I will vote for her because of what is at stake. That is if she somehow honestly wins it. If it is given to her by the supers
I will not vote because the party needs to be put on notice, they don't have the right to overturn the will of the people.

The gas tax holiday supported by Clinton/McCain is an example of Senator Clinton's economic policy. It is a "feel good" band aid on an enormous problem. The average family would save only $28 over the course of the summer, while 7,000 jobs will be lost in North Carolina alone, as summer road repair and construction comes to a screeching halt from lack of funds. That is no way to put food onto family tables.

Thomas Friedman wrote an excellent editorial about this policy in the NY Times on April 30. It is worth reading if you really care about Clinton's economic ideas, as well as her lack of an energy policy. Mr. Friedman congratulated Senator Obama for standing up to this nonsensical scheme by saying, "Good for Barack Obama for resisting this shameful pandering. "

Penny wise and pound foolish has never solved problems.

Everyone needs to listen to what the candidates are saying. Both candidates are talking about the economy, loud and clear. The biggest choice to be made is do you want to support a fed gas tax roll back that will not happen in hopes of saving (clinton plan) $18.40 for every 100 gallons of gas you buy (remember you will have to pay roughly $351.00 to save gain that savings)? Or do you want some (Obama plan) real change like taking away those tax credits that the oil companies get, and maybe even tax them a little heavier on those huge profits the make? They are both talking about the economy, that number one issue in American but it appears most are not listening.

thats why hillary is the right person for the job……she got great plans on how to fix the economy….and in additon…..shes also trying to do something now…while shes running…. with the gas tax holiday….it may be pennies mr obama……but its atleast something….you plan to take on the oil companys is great …but you cant do that untill next yr…if you even get elected….mean while……were paying a fortune now…..so…as a avg joe….which i know dosnt matter to you…ill take the 30+ dollars this summer……but maybe im just a bitter gun toting christian…..

It's about time, get back to the issues that matter to Americans.

The war in Iraq a distant second? We should be ashamed. What does this say about us as a country? We are selfish people plain and simple. The day we, as a country would be more concerned about our own lifestyle before the war we are engaged in is a sad day indeed. Finally, we as a people begin to realize that we will also be required to sacrifice along with our men and women who wear the uniform and fight the battles and what do we do? We whine about it. To all you republicans and democrats who walked in lock step along with Bush in getting into this war I say suck it up and get ready for more sacrifices because you cannot expect to continue fighting on borrowed money and not feel the effect at home.

The economy always HAS BEEN the most important concern among voters. The media has made the other issues more important by their fanatical desire, inherient in journalism, to "write what sells". If anyone in the media were truly interested in the direction of the campaign and the interests of the general public, we would see more coverage of issues like Paul v Clinton, or asking Obama to be more specific relative to his economic plans.

All in all though, the American public is more to blame for the sham that we call "jounalism" in this country. We eat up stories about Nicole Smith while giving little attention to our own teachers and blue collar workers.

I've been watching you, Lou, and Wolf for many years and I've never sounded off but I have one subject that really is ticking me off. The fed and the president are pouring money to ease the credit crisis in order to jump start the economy. All this money is going to save the banks and large investment firms so they can stay afloat. There is little talk of the 300 plus billions of dollars that are frozen as a result of the collapse of the Auction Market. Why don’t the fed help these institutions to refinance so that all the individual investors can have their cash freed up to spend. That would be stimulus package equal t the one the president just issued and it wouldn’t cost the American people a penny. I wish you could look into this Auction-Rate Securities issue and bring it to national attention so something can be done. You got the power!

Thanks for listening,
Paul

You see how silly that was. Just like day one of this issue. The news networks treat this as news, but ignore everything else about Clinton and McCain.

Yes we are and anybody with common sense had better be! And if Hillary's mismanagement of her campaign is any indication of the way she will handle the National Economy then we know it's past time to send her packing right on back to New York, Oh! Let's not forget her bright idea of cutting gas taxes during the Summer months, Oh Yeah! That wasn't even her idea she is backing packing with the Republicans on that one, uh? Does this woman have a clue? YES she does she's just banking on the fact that the American people don't!

What makes anyone think Hillary knows more about the economy than Obama? Look at their campaigns, each is like a small business. Who has been more successful? Exactly. Obama has raised more money and registered more voters than anyone in history. Wake up America, you are all buying into what the Clintons want you to. As for this Peter vs. Paul thing, the voters should have access to those documents. WE HAVE THE RIGHT TO KNOW! We should know the charges and the evidence against the Clinton's in this case. We have the right to evaluate for ourselves if this is an issue. HIding it from the voters is not right. Waiting until after the election is disgusting. Look more into voters. You really want to make an intelligent decision and you know the republicans will.

Peterpaul v Clinton………Hello?!! anybody out there with a legit journalism degree??

Interestingly economy runs well on it's own when the government palys an honest role in collecting and spending. Investing in proper sectors , balance import and export creat market for jobs. Economy to economists is a complicated issue as they do not have more than examples of what others did to role in a smooth economy. It is only the great leaders who fore sees the ways to lead economy. 'Gordon Brown' is a good example of current British economical condition.

President Bush did a bad investment in Iraq. The other leaders who supported the Iraq invasion, supported a bad investment to bring down the economy in today's situation.

Should economy be the most important issue to choose a leader, It's Barak Obama.

Hillary Clinton is seen by the majority of voter much stronger on the economy that Obama.

HRC 2009

Let's get this straight…

1) Barack Obama has "no economic plans" and yet he's the one telling American voters based on information he got from real economic advisers that the proposed gas-tax is nothing but a pandering gesture. Yet Clinton supporters want to ignore the facts because it came from Obama and it just happens to be right….fair enough

2) You think Hillary Clinton has a better handle on economic solutions, and yet due to mismanagement of her money…she's in debt for her campaign.

Those are facts. You guys are just so bitter with Obama that you can't see the good that he would do for the party. And your country!

Actually, the economy is not my top issue. When I was doing my bills last night, all I could think about was, "Thank God my president wears a flag lapel pin"

Clinton is a fraud. Why should the taxpayers dish out $30B to support greedy banks, real estate speculators or people who make poor financial decisions?

Banks and borrowers get to ack reckless and take as much risk as they want…no problem because Clinton will just bail everyone out and charge it to the taxpayers?

What experience does Obama have with the economy? NONE ZIP ZERO. It is amazing that anyone would consider Obama qualified to handle the economy let alone run this country with no experience, no honesty, no integrity and only a speach.

Let me try and put this situation into perspective…would an employee of a fortune 500 company be qualified to be the Chief Financial Officer with only 1 years experience in the business world? Absolutely not and Obama is absolutely not ready to be our President no matter how anyone tries to spin it. Obama's record speaks for itself - as there is nothing that he can say he has done except deliver beautiful speaches, lie, and send his preacher under the bus.

If the economy is your #1 issue then read this….

Magnequench Misspoke???

Is this another misspoke step for Sen.Clinton OR is it that she is telling the voters anything & everything to get the nomination…WAKE UP PEOPLE!!!!! She was also NAFTA's cheerleader & THAT'S why jobs have shipped away from the regular Americans!!! WAKE UP!!!!!!!!

"As she campaigns throughout Indiana, Sen. Hillary Clinton has been talking quite a bit about Magnequench, a Valparaiso, Ind., factory that moved to China. Clinton cries foul over factory closing. But could her husband have stopped it? What Clinton doesn't tell voters is that Magnequench was originally sold to Chinese interests during her husband's administration, which okayed the move despite concerns about national security and eventual job loss. Experts say the Chinese acquired the "technical sophistication" that created the magnets long before George W. Bush took office. "

Read the rest on Abc news website…type in Magnequench.

When we think of the candidates for the Democratic Party, I found it a little amusing and disturbing at where some have positioned their Lane County headquarters. Here is how our local free weekly paper, Eugene Weekly, described their locations.
“It's not just candidates coming through town for a quick speech anymore; the presidential campaigns have come to Eugene and they're setting up shop. Just across from Kinko's on Willamette lies Barack Obama's new headquarters. And Springfield is the home for Hillary Clinton's newly opened local campaign office for Lane County, located across the street from Club 1444 (a "gentlemen's club"), a 60-day loan shop and a panaderia on Main Street.
I hope that it will get some to pause and to think of the two of these candidates on the more obscure issues. For myself I ask, “Why would a women that is running to be the 1st “women” POTUS have her county headquarters in such a location? Living in this area I know of much more suitable locations that would not stare at the belittling of women by being next to a strip club.”
I am a 40ish mixed ethnical background, blonde hair blue eyes woman, guess who has my vote! I might add that I am under the poverty level as I have had to get an education after being downsized 4 times in the last 13 years. 1st one in my family to get a higher education and we go back several generations on this soil. Obama 08

Our economy presently is in an awful state. Why? All of our country's resources are being wasted in the debacle that is Bush's Iraq war. We need a president who will get us out of Iraq and we'll have trillions, that's trillions to solve our economic problems.

Hillary keeps saying she is the best candidate to get the economy on track, but I have yet to hear any specifics, just more blather. I am sick of the status quo, I want real change. I want this war to end and she certainly hasn't made any strong commitments to that issue.

I am one of those swing Independent voters that are being wooed by the major political parties. I am a 57 year old white woman who I supports Senator Obama. I will vote for the Green Party candidate if Hillary ends up as the Democratic candidate. I would never vote for McCain. We need change, no more status quo!

Reasons why Clinton is Unelectable:

-Peter Paul vs. Clinton.

-Whitewater

-Lewisnky

-Penn

-Bosnia

-Pro-NAFTA

-Pro-Iraq-War

-False gas solutions

-Impossible Healthcare Plan

Everyone is ignoring you Peter Paul idiots because it's not a story - the only ones who are listening to you are your fellow Peter Paul idiots - get over yourselves.

It's as much of a story as the Larry Sinclair/Obama story is, and that one is ten times worse than even Reverend Wright.

If you want to google something ridiculous, go google Obama and Larry Sinclair.

Obama supporters please stop spreading lies around the internet.

This is the worse kinf of campaigning. The Paul vs. Clinton case was thrown out and the Clintons are not involved.

Since you want us to look up things about candidates, go to savagepolitics.com for an interesting read.

However, stop the lies with fake viedo's and court cases that have no merit. CNN, why do you allow this and block pro-Clinton post?? Guess I will never know if this one doesn't make it either, but over 100 about Paul.

The economy we face today is more the result of our political quick fix policies for the past 20 to 30 years. Who is to blame for? Voters want to be pleased and politicians want to be elected regardless of the truth.

CNN is reporting that Hillary would perform very well against McCain in a GE. Hillary's polling strength against McCain has been a known fact for a while. The differential will widen as Hillary gets stronger support. The DNC is in a big bind and has a big problem because if Obama wins based on the delegate count only, he is going to have one hell of a fight against McCain. They are going to pull out more of those controversial sermon clips and go at it.

The Republicans will look into Obama's and Michelle's virtually unknown past. They will also look at African American pastors who know and support Wright, so that they can prove the credibility or truth of what Wright has been saying which is that Obama has been lying about not knowing about his pastor's views or his attendance at controversial sermons. The truth will eventually come ALL out.

If folks are getting tired from people like me who persist in bringing up the Wright issue, they have not seen anything yet. There will be a new meaning to the term "SWIFTBOATING". This is why Obama will prove to be the wrong candidate in the end. The Democratic Party is at the juncture of making the wrong decision again and the other guys are just waiting to dig in.

Duh?

We hope Hillary Clinton becomes president.

Things were better when Bill Clinton was president.

We feel Hillary will be a strong president.

Paul vs. Clinton
Seven years ago Peter Paul began whistleblowing to the government and alerting the media of numerous illegalities committed by Hillary and Bill Clinton in order to win Hillary’s first election to public office.

The multi-million dollar donor to Hillary’s Senate campaign that caused Hillary’s finance director to be indicted and tried in May, 2005, for hiding his contributions, and whose complaint to the FEC resulted in a finding that Hillary’s campaign broke the law resulting in the only FEC fine imposed against Hillary’s campaign, will begin the discovery process leading to a trial in Los Angeles later this year of the Clintons and others for destroying Paul’s public company.

While liberals whine and complain about a supposed slow economy and how they are "entitled" to low gas prices, loan bailouts, universal healthcare and a chicken in every pot….Islamic terrorists are plotting the next major attack on our soil.

The very reason these terrorists hate us is because we are "entitled" and they think we are enjoying our high standard of living at their people's expense.

Liberals falsely claim that by being in Iraq we have caused their numbers to increase….trust me their ranks were increasing long before Iraq and long before 9/11
Iraq/Afghanistan/Somalia/Pakistan are simply places they can act out their perverted ideaology.

Liberals need to wake up from their isolationist dream and smell the coffee that is the persistent threat of radical Islam….
National security is the number one issue this election….not universal healthcare, not gas prices, and not trying to get the government to bail the "entitled" out of their self-induced economic woes.

The pain and suffering caused by high gas prices will pale in comparison to the pain and suffering (both economic and loss of livelihood) from any future terrorist attack on our soil.

WAKE UP AMERICA!!!

If it's a question of who is better at handling the economy, Clinton or Obama - the answer is easy. Hillary Clinton. If that truly is the voters' main concern in IN, she will win easily.

Paul vs. Clinton

The lawsuit claims that Peter Paul was fraundulenty induced to make a 1.2 million in-kind contribution to Senator Hillary Clinton's 2000 senate campaign in exchange for former President Bill Clinton to be a rainmaker for this company once he left the White House. Paul claims that former President Clinton backed out of the $17 million deal, and his company collapsed.

It's funny how people keep saying we need to talk about the Paul vs Clinton. You've talked about it all day and no one cares!

I would love to save a couple of pennies on gas if I could.

The Clintons are part of the reason that our economy is such a mess and now she want to promote this oil prapanda. This is not going to help our economy but instead it is going to hurt us. I cannot be shortsighted. This is just more nonsense without offering any sort of solution. If you take the time to look closer, you will see this. She is damaging the democratic party with her nonsense.

By the way, I am a Cuban-American supporting Sen. Obama, in case someone is wondering if its only the African-Americans who support him. I beg to differ, since I know people of several ethnic and racial backgrounds that support Sen. Obama!

I am SO glad that finally, Americans, are moving on beyond the politics-of-destruction……. to the issues that really matter!

Oh and all the young voters out there — what to do they care about the economy??? These are the people that are mainly supporting Obama
Just like Obama THEY HAVE NO IDEA !!!!

VOTE HILLARY 2008 !

Still waiting for Peter Paul vs Clinton to be acknoldged by CNN.

The Billary Hillbillies are doing their best to bring down Obama. What a shame for this great nation but don't worry, for the youth shall set you free America!!!

Obama 08

Pleese!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
No more Rev. Wright! He is not running!

“Hillary has run one of the most formidable campaigns in the history of our Party,” the chairs wrote, listing Clinton’s primary season victories. “Her base of support includes women, Hispanics, seniors, Catholics, middle and low income Americans, and rural, suburban and urban voters. That’s a formidable coalition tailor-made for victory in a November general election.

This taken from the letter 7 former DNC Chairmen have signed and are circulating!

Now with that said I ask you WHAT THE HECK ARE THEY TALKING ABOUT? Are they talking about THE SAME CAMPAIGN THAT SHE HAS RAN IN THE GROUND FINANCIALLY? WHAT URBAN VOTERS ARE THEY TALKING ABOUT? THE SAME ONES THAT ARE DIE HARD SUPPORTERS OF OBAMA? WHAT MIDDLE AND LOW INCOME VOTERS THE ONES THAT SHE SAID "SCREW THEM' TO BILL? OR THE SAME ONES THAT SHE FEEDS BULL@@## TO DAILY? NOW THESE SHE MAY VERY WELL GET! WHAT WOMEN ARE THEY TALKING ABOUT IF NOT WHITE ONES AND IF SO THEY ARE COUNTING THEM TWICE (RURAL& SUBURBAN) THEY KNOW THEY ARE FULL OF SH@#!!

WHAT WON'T THESE CLINTONS DO TO WIN????????
SAME OLE POLITICS!!!!!!

Poor liberal media trying to guide the election by covering something that not the main issue.

Senator Obama is the right President to handle the situation. Give him a chance. Do not reject a dish without knowing the content.

Hillary is NOT tearing apart the democratic party. Hillary is doing just what any Clinton does— take advantage of any situation given to them (e.g., Monica L., Sniper-fire; NAFTA, Michigan and FL votes etc.).

The real people splitting this party are the "bilnd" and uneducated supporters of Hillary. How can Hillary, with more negatives than any politican (except Gov. Bush), ever run a successful general election in this nation? The Republicans and Independents are praying for that day to come!!! We will have to thank, not Hillary (because she will be off somewhere with her $109 million), but her "bird-brain" supporters

Every primary you hear, this state is crucial and a must win for Obama or Clinto….we've been hearing this since January….It was exciting but now it has turned into a circus……I'M GOING TO ECHO EHSANUL HAQUE>>>>>
President Bush did a bad investment in Iraq. The other leaders who supported the Iraq invasion, supported a bad investment to bring down the economy in today's situation.

Should economy be the most important issue to choose a leader, It's Barak Obama.

COME ON INDIANA DO BE AFRAID, CHANGE IS GOOD, EMBRACE IT AND VOTE OBAMA….WE CAN GO ALL THE WAY TO JUNE 3RD, CAUSE OBAMA WILL STILL HAVE MORE STATES, MORE POPULAR VOTE AND MORE PLEDGED DELEGATES THAN WHAT….

Employers cut fewer jobs in April, jobless rate falls.

Let us get real, not even Bill can bring back the Internet economy of the 90's. People are so dumb!! How can Hillary undo what Bill did– NAFTA? Afterwards, both Bill and Hillary are now reaping the benefits of those trade deals. Hillary has no good answers for the "current economy." Most top-rated economists in this nation (eg., Robert Reich) are supporting Obama's proposals for the economy. Maybe people need to do more "basic reading" in this country. Even the British kids know more about our economy than the average American in this country; what a shame!

It's a shame that we rate our pocket books higher than the troops.
