CNN

It is hard to tell if McCain is senile or if it is just republican rhetoric.

Sure Peter, we believe you.

Just tell me:

1- Why Obama made a speech opposing the War in Iraq but then did not continue an aggresive campaing against it when he run for office in Chicago? Was it because patriotism was high and important for his campaing that year and it will not look good. Also he even declared that had he been in the USA Senate he might have voted for the War or did not know how he might voted.

2- Does Obama really had a good and better judgement? Why was he part of the church in Chicago and close to his pastor for 20 years. Did not recognize that he knew about his pastor's comments first and then change his position. And finally separated himself from the pastor when his rate in the polls were going down becuase the pastor said that he was a regular politician.

3- What kind of movement has Obama created? Is it a poitical, social or just a movement for the elections. And after the election what? Also does he provide a platform for the movement that will allow people to really know where are we heading and going? Is it really a change or is it just a way to get support for the election. Why does he create the movement now and not when he was in Chicago several years ago or when he became a US Senator?

4- CHANGE... is the change only about special interest? does he really think that he will change Washington by going against the lobbyst and the special interest. He knows better than that unless you really change the structure of the society and the political circles of power saying that you will change Washington by fighting the special interest is also a band-aid to the real problems we have. Is he willing to go all the way?

5- So why is Clinton part of the status quo but Senators Kerry and Kennedy are not? If you are against the status-quo is he going to ask those Senators and others that also represent the status-quo in Washington to leave their positions and allow new Senators to come to Washington. Why is he makling deals with them then?

It seems to me that Obama is not really that different from other politicians but he portrays himself as he would be and a lot of average Americans who are hungry for a real change want to believe he really is even when in the bottom of our hearts we know he really isn't.

Democrats unite! For better or worse, we have our candidate. It is time to get beyond the internal bickering and Obama/Clinton bashing and start bashing the GOP and John McCain!

Sen. McCain is frightening. His ideas and politics are old school and archaic. We democrats need to accept what is and start moving forward to regain the White House and congress.

One of the reasons I would vote McCain is to screw you rude people out of your dream.

I am sick of hearing that Hillary should quit.

When the REST OF US have had a chance to mark our ballot, then maybe she should bow out.

Give us an even chance, posters.

Everybody just need to chill out and take a deep breath. Obama is here to stay!! No weapon formed against him will ever prosper. He will lead this country back to greatness. I do understand that there is a percentage of americans that wont vote for him because he is black. I know deep in my heart he will change this country for the best. He has inspired me to the point where i'm going to campaign for him. We will all come together as one and vote for Obama. We just gotta heal the wounds that hillary cut wide open. "We shall overcome some day"

Whew there's a lot of bitter folks on this board!

YES WE CAN.... NOW lets focus on getting the WHITE HOUSE back to Dem Party!! we have to start attacking MCcain/BUSH.

Obama/Edwards 08'

CNN stop being bias and ask the tough questions.
Wolf you should’ve asked he Obama like a pillow.
How can you insult your viewers like that?
Are a news agency or part of Obama’s campaign.

This guy looks real honest and says so and praises opponent on every occasion. Hillary never does that and she is too selfish and nothing less.

Great interview, Wolf! And thank you for keeping the Jeremiah Wright issues out of the discussion.

BFD so the great one wears jeans. Wow!

And trust me, I have seen every Democrat debate since Iowa caucus on CNN, NBC, ABC, CBS, I even follow Fox interviews! (I admit, I have lost my personal life to these primaries.)

The picture says it all: The Two Most Important Persons in the World. Howzabout a ticket of Blitzer (number 1) and Obama (for VP)?

Everybody who says they are going to vote for McCain if their favorite democrat doesn't win needs to read the article about what kind of judges McCain will nominate. If that doesn't convince you to either vote democrat or stay home, then I don't want to hear any whining from you when Roe v. Wade is overturned. WAKE UP!!!

Obama couldn't be more right when he says world wants to see the US lead. YES WE WANT YOU TO LEAD; in enviromental policy, in diplomacy, in innovative technology - in humanity and civil rights.

The day Obama is elected to be the President of USA, you will get the whole worlds respect.

I personally promise to buy American flag that day and to go Helsinki square to wave it. Or maybe I could arrange a small scale fireworks that night.

Do everything you can to make him elected.

Well, Sen. Clinton is hanging in there... just like Huckabee did refusing to back down. She has ran her campaign the best that she can, I suppose. There's no need in prolonging the process as if there's some magic rabbit to pull out of her hat. I think I speak for most Americanss when I say," Enough of the debates!" Everything has been said or done already and we will only get a repeat performance. Open your minds and set aside your disdain for Sen. Obama... There's other candidates better qualified to do the job than Bush and Clintons. It's not about the candidate... we need answers now!

Clinton keeps referring to "hard-working Americans." Aren't we all hard-working (except for the upper 1-5% or so)? Sounds like a euphemism/code words for a group of people that doesn't include me – a middle aged, African American professional who still runs out of money at the end of each month. Frankly, the more I hear her campaign stump speeches, the more frightened I become. Am I the only one who feels this?

Thank You,
Senator Obama

You were very professional and inspiring! Proud to be American!
We are UNITED!

Obama "08"

Clinton backers really seem upset. The man said only good things about Eight Belle and all you do is bash him. I swear all of these Clinton supporters on this board are really Lanny "Windbag" Davis.

I seriously need someone to explain to me how someone can support either Obama or Clinton (who are so similar in the political positions) in the primaries and JUST because their candidate isn't the nominee will vote for McCain or not vote at all. I DON'T UNDERSTAND YOUR LOGIC. You are only hurting yourself, your neightbors, your children and me if you are going to be that spitful and turn your support to McCain.

Come on people!!! We aren't picking the the captin of the kick ball team in 5th grade.

Support the Democrates 110%!!!!

Obama always a gentlman. Him mom and grandma taught him well. Can 't say the same for the other candidate

Good job Wolf. You asked serious questions with No Spin. A good interview to watch.

What a joke. Clinton supporters lets riot. just like obama supporters have said they would.

With answers like this interview he not have much more to say now and
The democratic party has always had such a radical and militant portion within the party that if you go against anything they believe in your no good to them again – no matter if your in the same house, city, group, or party. This years election is lost to the democrats – start planning for the next one…

I am a democrat who desperately wants to see a Democratic President elected in November. I am really distressed to read people claiming to be democrats who state they will vote for McCain if their delegate does not win the nomination. Of course people have a first choice for their nominee, but I will vote for the Democratic Party Nominee , be it Obama or Clinton. Both have great strengths and gifts, people just prefer one over the other. The Democratic Party has not been this lucky in generations, to have 2 such qualified candidates. Most of my life I have had to vote for the lesser of 2 evils. This time we have 2 great choices. If we have to wait another 4 years to elect a Democrat, be ready to pay $5 – 10 per gallon of gas, be ready to be out of work, no savings, no insurance and worst of all, be ready to have another 4000 of our young men and women dead in Iraq.

This is the kind of new Domocrat that you are the one that Obama is bringing. You represent the change I can see that with your lack of respect your cocky silly thoughts and empty rethoric. You should go tot the Middle East with Obama and talk to the leaders there. yes sure they will listen to him and laugh later He can tell them a good speach asking for "CHANGE" and "HOPE" I can see that and the rest of the world will forget about the history and will say yes Obama we will follow you...

I'm just going to come out and say it.......................

For those who keep saying that they are democrats and will not vote for Obama if he is chosen as the nominee then they are pure, unadulterated, Racist.

I can't recall any other primary where a nominee was chosen by the people and the superdelegates to be the nominee that I've seen such
hatred for that candidate.

HRC and Obama are very similar on all policies, be they foreign or domestic. There may be some small differences on issues and Ideas to solve problems, but not a great chasm. Obama has longer legislative experience since he started in the state senate in Illinois in '97 and HRC as NY senator in '2001.

So what else could it be? As for the Rev. Wright issue, Obama must have missed a lot of church, because I have not heard him say anything that resembles the remarks Wright has said.

Like Obama said (paraphrased) "I can no more disown my being black anymore than my being white".

To echo OBAMA himself "this election is not about senator Cintor or Barack Obama or John Maccain but about American people"so if Hillary's supporters felt voting Maccain will put Hllary in white house,they better think what they are wishing for.Obama is for all Americans support him

McCain Democrats Rule!!!

All you Clinton supporters who will vote for McCain in the fall are spiteful and incredibly stupid. It shows that you obviously don't share any of the values that Clinton claims to have.

I make this appeal to the good people of West Virginia to vote with both your heart and with your head. Hillary Clinton is not a quitter! She knows want our country's wants are. Hillary Clinton knows what are our peoples needs are, and she will hit the White House floor a runnin, as she does not need to be tutored as she is experienced in the world of Washington and the world. The People need jobs. Hillary Clinton will work to make the state of our economy, First on the agenda. This will keep roofs over the people's heads and food on their plates. It will also help to restore our Right to Dignity, which comes hand in hand with employment and a paycheck, but mysteriously disappears when the pink slip makes it's dread appearance. Obama can go around in a pair of jeans and make his attempt to make a victory lap around the Senate chambers. The race is not over! The good people of West Virginia can make that upstart eat that pair of jeans, by supporting the experienced candidate, the one who will not forget you after election day, the one who knows what the people need. Jobs, Jobs, Jobs, Now, Now, Now! Give Hillary a chance. Give Hillary your support. Help Hillary to help you! The fight ain't over yet Mr. Obama! The People come first and they deserve a President who has experience solving problems, not creating problems. West Virginians, You can make history which will make your children's children proud.

united kingdom is looking forward to welcome Barak Obama as a president of USA. American grab that chance fore the right man on the right time. have my £100. OBAMA 08

Why is Mrs Clinton blamming sen.Obama over Michigan and Florida elections ?,
Can this be explain cos, sen.Obama didnt cancelled that elections so why the noice? secondly,Sen.Mrs Clinton how are you going to manage American Economy when you cant even manage yours , Its difficult to spent the money that is not there.

This is how things are supposed to be done! Hillary should be taking notes. They should've been criticizing McCain all along instead of her trying to tear down Obama!

Please stop the racists rants and Hillary and Obama bashing. We've gone down that road too many times before and it has gotten us no where. We need to move forward together as the UNITED STATES OF AMERICA - NOT - THE DIVIDED STATES OF AMERICA!

His equanimity and grace do make him look real Presidential! And for those of you condemning him just for the heck of it, take a little time and read his books.....Who knows? Maybe a miracle will occur and you will realize that he is not that bad after all!

God Bless America!!!

What a blessing to have this guy as our president!!!

He's a "once in a generation" type of leader!

Just watch him become the best president ever!!!

Obama 2008, 2012 and forever!!!

It is people like "yeah yeah" which often makes it painful to live in this country.

"We will NOT vote for Obama- for no reason but to protest the corruption of this primary", "the Fl and Mi fiasco", "Obama supporters using bully tactics at caucus", "So We WILL teach the DNC a lesson with our vote in Nov.", etc, etc. Fine, vote McBush and suffer the consequence. Very smart approach.

Just to address a couple of your idiotic remarks....the "corruption"? What are you talking about? I participated in a caucus that was wonderfully democratic, engaging, and healthy. Were you bullied? Did someone force you to write Obama on a ballot? That is the most asinine, desperate thing I have ever heard. And you want to count a state where Obama wasn't even on the ballot???? Fine, do it, and Obama still wins.

I'll spare you the thousand ways I could cut down Hillary and supporters like you that have compromised any sense of dignity to try and scare, lie to, and ridicule the intelligence of Americans. well, most people saw through it so let us know how that works out for you and McCain.

To joneser23 responding to Debby, Chicano Art, Roger, Rick etc. as follows:
The Chicago mafia? Community Organizer? Clueless foreign policy? A used car salesman that went to Harvard on an academic scholarship? The guy is a U.S. Senator. You're entitled to your opinion, but trust me – educated opinions are much more convincing. Whomever you support, it doesn't matter, as long as you educate yourselves so you can make an informed decision. Go to the candidate's web sites and actually read what their positions are. Obama's Blueprint For Change is an extremely detailed, deep document that outlines his specific accomplishments and proposals on many important issues, including foreign policy. I don't agree with all of them, but I know what they are.

...Its ok to disagree with a candidate on issues. But those posts were never about the issues. They were not intended to be based on reason. They are based on an uncontrollable emotion that belonged to the past in this country (where a few still reside).

I got to watch this programme tonight. I tell you – these days I watch more of CNN than BBC. CNN is really good in reporting this election.

The world is excited with the prospect of this man leading the free world. I just hope he is not held back and he is allowed to make the changes he is promising. The world really needs an honest leader with fresh ideas to take initiative and set examples.

Sal

OBAMA GOOD LUCK AND GOD BLESS YOU. WE LOVE YOU IN GEORGIA. I AM LOOKING FORWARD TO YOUR INAGURATION DAY. I WILL BE THERE WITH MY FAMILY.

Linda....arrogance? are you one of tarded people? Why should he even give Beirut a thought? should we stop off there after we flatten Iran?

OBAMA FOR PRESIDENT, he is a great man, serious, brillant, intelligent. He will be a great president, he 's not a negative person like Clinton, he made a wonderful campaing, honest and positive, not like Clinton...

OBAMA 08

To ALL OBAMA FOLLOWERS

The Primary might be over but the presidential race is not. And all of you who have showed a high level of disrespect and hate towards Hillary and her followers you forgot that Snator Obama and you need the other half of the Democratic Party. The African-American community voted 85% to 90% for Obama but they are a minority in the general election and now you will need the whole base of the Democratic Party so you and the DNC and people like T. Kennedy, Kerry, Bill Richardson and many others will have to work their heart very hard to reach us and we might not go with you guys becuase if you felt that Hillary was negative we also think that Obama was and from the very beginning when he started calling Hillary part of Washington and the status-quo as if he would not be part of it too. He is a regular politician not different from Kerry, from Kennedy or from Hillary the real different is that Hillary never pretended to be and we are not stupid we now know what Obama has done (nothing relevant neither in Chicago nor in Washington), what his record is and more important that he has played with the dreams of voters for his political ambition.

Wait and see you will be dissapointed if he is elected because he will not fulfill his promisses and if he is not because you will think that you were wrong.

Well sure he is at ease, he bought the nomination, or at least is in the process of the final purchase. Look, he can't win the general election...no support from disgruntled Clinton supporters and not having won major red and swing states. I'm sure the Republicans are thrilled with the prospect of him being the nominee, it makes their job much easier.

Look everyone, alot of us didn't get all we wanted out of this or maybe we got more than what we wanted but the primary process played itself out and we have what we have for our nominee. This is not the time to rub it in on Clinton Supporters or Clinton supporters switching parties. The people of the democratic party has picked their nominee and like "Unified"-it's time to unite. You really need to look at the big picture...a non-vote for Obama or a vote for McCain could jeopardize our Supreme Court for decades. We have 3 to 4 Supreme court judges that might step down or retire.....Lets keep the eye on the prize. Lets not forget Iraq and if you want this war to end, a VOTE FOR MCCAIN WILL NOT DO THAT!!! DEMOCRATS WE NEED TO UNITE!!!

Everyone here acts like Obama and Hillary are SO different.
Look at the issues.
They're almost the same.

Mrs. Clinton’s letter to Obama sounds like the voice of a desperate witch crying in the wilderness.
Let Mrs. Clinton hang on to her selfish interest and continue even beyond the nomination of Obama.
She can as-well decide to form her own Democratic party, nominate herself and contest along Obama against McCain.
The news of Rep. David Bonior endorsement of Obama will be the sweetest news today.
Edward and Obama are my political mentors.
Edward and Obama represent the new face of American politics. The days of the Clintons, the bushes are over and over for good. The American people are wiser now.

Should Obama offer Clinton the V.P spot. In a word, No. Talk about your worst nightmares. Billary grabbing the wheel everytime Obama turned his back. President Obama has to be his own man.
Richardson is the balance for Barack.
Paul Gordon, Toronto, Canada

he can't win without all of us coming 2gether and that is not is going 2 happen i guess i just have to work harder to pay 4 the high groc. bill and gas. and live with that 4, 4 more yrs.

Dear Unified Democratic Party 2008 – all I can say is dream on. You Obama supporters have been absolutely vicious from the beginning and the damage you have done to the Party is permanent. I talk to more and more Hillary supporters like myself every day. We will NEVER vote for Obama under any circumstances. You have hijacked the party, but will never win the White House. If need be, along with millions of other good Democrats, I will write in Hillary's name on the ballot in November.

Wolf I thought your interview with Senator Obama was wonderful. He did seem really relax but who could blame him you are a great guy and a great contributor to CNN they are blessed to have you. I thought Barack Obama once again convyed to us Americans that he is ready to move the US forward. He also explained in detail tax cuts, tax breaks, foreign policy education, health care etc... GREAT JOB

It's so disappointing to read all of the hateful remarks made by people.
Yes, a person can have different points of view on a candidate. The nasty remarks are not neccessary and only make Americans look vengeful.

Hundreds of thousands, if not millions ,will be voting for Mc. instead of O. Let's teach a lesson to this upstart! He does not have what it takes to be President, for starters he wants to play Robin Hood, tax the CEO's of big companies ( or steal) to give to the " poor". Forcing people to give their hard earned monies to others who did not have what it takes to climb to the top. I see big trouble for this man if he gets elected. I hope his war chest dries up soon, specially if big money has been behind his efforts to become president.

to softball wolf!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This is the Obama that everyones wants to see. Let's move the the next chapter and get on the issues that matter to American's and be ready to face John Mcain. On the other note I think Hilary with the support she has pulled would be a formitable VP running mate for Obama. The deam ticket.

"Obama 08 enough said"

I just left the Democratic party. I should say they left me. What choices did we have? A liberal and the most liberal. Why couldn't we have someone for ALL of the Democrats. For the first time in my life I started reading blogs. Never have I heard so many nasty people and so hateful. I come from several generatons of Democrats but my ancestors would be ashamed of what the party has become. Maybe someday the party will get the message. I know there are a LOT of people that has changed parties , being sick of what is going on. Clinton never split the party by going on so long. That is fair. The party has split its self. and I am not ignorant or stupid. I will vote for my beliefs which is my right.

While Clinton is licking her wounds Obama is so ready to move on to the next phase. Time to start taking on McCain. Obama will be a formidable opponent and the Republicans know it. Can't wait for November!

So with a minute left in the game Clinton wants to review a call from the first quarter...OK, lets take a look at that for a second...

In FL she won 50% of the vote, and with the democratic rules, that will not change her math at all, she would still need close to 70% of the remaining vote to get the nomination . Then in MI, she got 55% running unopposed...not what I'd call a commanding victory. With delegates, she still needs 65% of the remaining delegates, and Hillary hasn't proven to win 65% of anything these days. Rules are rules, if you agree to play by the rules, agree to lose by the rules. The only thing that this does is make thinks a bit more difficult for Obama, and give her a single talking point to try and sway super delegates. I can tell you this, the democratic party leaders are not going to by it. At this point Hillary needs to find a gracious way to step aside.

Please do whats best for the party...

This is for the none believers in change. Once aging racisim has shown its face. Black Amerians have fought in every war . Have been in this country since the start. They have participated in America before it was America. Even though they weren't even cosidered a human or a person when the Consitution was made. What more can be done to these people.Just face it no person of other race can be a commander and Chief. What does it take to become a president. Hum lets think the know how to lead a country with plans to make it better and fair for all Americans. You see anytime a change in leaderships has to come it needs to be a difference maker. This the person we should vote for. Not cause of color but because of values and morals. The Clintons have not been honest with us. She just admitted to loaning her campiang more money. Whats next yes of course Mr. Obama has not told us everything. But in my opinion he is telling more of the truth than the rest of them. Well the Clintons had there chance. And its over North Carolina said they are tired and they help pick the Demo President. But of Course Mrs. Clinton is stiking in the race so that at the end they superdelgets will pick her. Here will be another slap in the Afro Americans face. This country has to stop and people have to held accountable for there actions even if you don't want to be. This goes for everone not just Black America.

He was obviously relaxed and at ease, and rightfully and deservedly so. The question of Hamas was not really relevant- a spokesperson said something, so what; and Hillary as VP very premature, so could have asked more substantial questions. Anyway a delight that a candidate can speak with ease and realisticaly about the issues. instead of the stumbling and grumbling of others. Whole idea is to connect Mccain to Bush for elections and Hillary, well she is looking for something instead of moving back to the senate, and probably her tone will be less confrontrational in coming days to save herself and the party, otherwise she has not only lost the race but aalso the respect of most if not all the electorate.

1 race...Human.
Down w/ selective scrutiny & hate mongering.
USA as a world leader again & role model for a great, inclusive society.
What would Jesus say ??
It begins with each of us.
Amen

It's rather unfortunate that people with blood running through their veins hate Hillary to the extent that they will go at length to discredit her even if she is right. I wonder why people hate such an extraordinary woman in human history and one day America will live to regret that she did not treat her fairly. The media has become advocates of the haters of Hillary and they have tried beyond measure to see to it that she doesn't become the Democratic Party nominee. As for the DNC, I REGRET GREATLY FOR HAVING REGISTERED AS A DEMOCRAT, NOW IT'S ABOUT TIME FOR ME TO RECONSIDER MY DECISION.

OBAMA '08!!

Guys, you should all get over it. – The race is over and, fortunately, Obama is the winner. "Run ...Run...Run....Can you catch me," said Obama? - So, get over it! Maybe, she will come back in 2016. She will only be 8 years older and she will still be younger than McCain as of now. Afterall, it's a shame that she could not run a successful campaign. As we all know, she is still having problems raising money. That must mean that her supporters are not investing in her campaign right now or are just being evasive (smile) - So, let's just accept the fact that Hillary is the looser.
Max from PA

Presidential!!! Wow, Obama will serve our country well. Hillary go dry your hair or get botox or something other than continue in your same old pesky ways. Go away Annie Oakley – Whiskey is calling...
OBAMA, YOU ROCK

Thanks Wolf for a job well done. Fox should take a lesson from you about fair and balanced.

Its not just America that needs the change Obama is promising but the whole world.

I believe he can and a lot better than the other two candidates.

mark my usually straight democratic ticket over to McCain this time for sure!!!

Obama has worked hard and he deserves to feel at ease! The math can't be diluted. He has had a lot of explaining to do over the past few weeks and he still won North Carolina with a huge margin, not to mention, GOP running ads with Him and Rev W In North Carolina. Michigan and Florida knew they were breaking the rules and so did Clinton's campaign. She was asked in New Hampshire in November about these elections and she said " they don't count". Quite frankly, I don't recall ever going to a sports match and saw the rules change at half time/extra time to accomodate the loser. This is what is going on and to use "disenfranchising the residents of those states" as an excuse. Please, give me a break.

Why wouldn't he be at ease.
He'll be the first President in history who aspired to the post and became elected on: zero resume, nothing but rhetoric regarding his agenda, and his only campaign motto worth remembering is "HOPE".

Truly, he is either the best thing since pastuerized milk–or he is all Bison dung–time will tell.

Hillary is here to stay because many lifelong democrats do not like election fixing that has influenced this primary.

We will NOT vote for Obama- for no reason but to protest the corruption of this primary: Advantages for one, obstacles for the other. Media bias. Flawed caucus format. Obama supporters using bully tactics at caucus. Obama with his gloating, cocky, arrogant mocking of Hillary with his Annie Oakley antics (while claiming he does not go negative). Obama with his ridiculing of Hillary by dismissively brushing her off his shoulder ( again, not negative? is this the uniter?). And, of course the Fl and Mi fiasco. It is never good or right to disenfranchise your voter base.

So We WILL teach the DNC a lesson with our vote in Nov.

It is that simple.

Clinton VP 08,12!..... thats the only way Obama can win if he picks a different VP then its President MCcain in January–

I haven't seen the whole interview, but from what I have read, it sounds like he's focusing on what really matters..Economy, Iraq and reintroducing ourselves back to the world in regaining some creditibility.

Someone stated, "That half of the democratic party is against him" that's crazy, because he has the popular vote!!!! I guess what they say is correct..."Hillary olny gets the votes of the uneducated folks".

Obama for President!!!!

The guy is more Kennedy than Kennedy. Trying not to get too hopeful but maybe he can lead us to work together to make the world a nicer place. I can't wait for the inaguration, what a great day it will be.
Clinton supporters need to get over it and support the program.

There are so many hateful, racist people in this country, it's a wonder we have the nerve to call ourselves world leaders...we lead the world in hatred...

About 60-75% of Americans will vote for McCain in November.

That's the republican party and about one third of the democrat party.

Hillary has a better chance of containing the democrat party. That's just the way it is.

What a great actor this fool is. He is the worse thing that could ever happen to this country.

Thank you Donna for putting the idiots in check! You are what we need in office, the spirit of Congresswoman Barbara Jordon is in your soul. You bring true value to CNN.

Greg,
I didn't say I thought President Bush has been the ideal Commander in Chief, but I definely think he has been much better that either Clinton or Obama will be. If former President Bill Clinton had done what he should have done when he was in office instead of fooling around, then we would not be in this mess in Iraq now. America does not need another one like him. It is time for a strong military again and God Bless our Troops–each and everyone of them including you and my son. Thanks for your service to the Greatest Country on Earth

Obama supporters, you are on your own IF your candidate wins the nomination.

Clinton supporters will NEVER allow you to use her JUST to win votes! There will be NO Obama/Clinton ticket... we never asked for it, and we don't want it!

You have been offensive and vitriolic, and this reflects on your candidate. Very short-sighted, obnoxious and arrogant! Let's see how far this takes you.

We will either sit our votes, or vote McCain!!!

Of course he's relaxed...he thinks he's got it in the bag. But beware...Hillary is still out there. There was SO much Wolf didn't ask him so we could KNOW this man. Stutters around too much...needs to be debating with Hillary..(.I'm surprised he could get away from his basketball playing for an interview.)

Who the heck in the WORLD ask Barak Obama to come and lead them and to come into their countries and change them? He needs
to get off his high horse and worry about the problems in his own
country before he wants to go and lead and change other countries.
Correct me if i'm wrong but isn't that what BUSH did go into a
country and change it for the worse mind your own issues and
take care of your own people first.

i urge all Obama supporters to stop insulting Hillary, now is the time to heal..

We talk about Reagan Democrats, lets also talk about Kennedy Republicans. There are Republicans who will vote for Obama, and I am one of them.

Obama 08

Joe B......

Post this CNN

RIGHT-ON!

Looks like the this forum is flooded with Obama nuts...hahha..

Hey
Roger, Ann and B/NYC

Your comments make you sound delusional and scared. it's okay, it's going to be okay. Don't feel bad that the country has moved on...there's still time to catch up. Learning to deal with change is an important life skill.

Also, try not to type angry. You sound even dumber with all the spelling and grammar mistakes.

obama can really lead the world! i hope for a peacefull world for the next 8 years with obama! its important!
i belive in us wisdom!

Obama is our next president. He is the perfect anti-dolt.
Clinton blew it. She ran on Bill's record, and then couldn't get him out of the way. They were so sure they would win based on record and name recognition, they didn't even have a campaign plan for after super Tuesday. Obama flat out out organized them. What did you think was going to happen when you lose twelve states in a row? And quit complaining about how he out spent you. Where do you think he got the money from in the first place? People who believe in his message gave it to him. Hillary had the same opportunity, only without the charisma and vision. That's why she lost. Its over. Her ego and ambition has either delusional about the nomination or she just wants to be VP and or raise more money to cover her debts. And as for McCain, it won't even be that close. Obama has the right message for the times. Obama out raises him in money 4 to 1. The religious right support he needs won't be there like the last time. Obama will split independants with McCain. Iraq will probably get worse and the economy won't be out of the woods by November. Just run against George Bush like he ran against Clinton last time and keep showing "the hug." That ought to finish the worst 8 years in political memory.

Great!!!! OBAMA NEXT PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA. For those who are not clear yet

Who the heck in the WORLD ask Barak Obama to come and lead them and to come into their countries and change them? He needs
to get off his high horse and worry about the problems in his own
country before he wants to go and lead and change other countries.
Correct me if i'm wrong but isn't that what BUSH did go into a
country and change it for the worse mind you .

To the Idiot that said half of the Democratic Party hates Obama... GROW UP! You sound like a 4 year in a sandbox.

Any Dem that votes for McShame because Barack is the nominee is ridiculous. McShame doesn't understand the economy, he doesn't recognize that we shouldn't still be at war.

I voted for Barack because I like what he's got to say.... he's definitely more genuine that the other two.

Obama 08

McCain says that he will spend even more money and send even more college kids out there to be blown up by people who Don't Want Us There! What a position Republicans!
Obama has this wrapped up...but let us not underestimate the power of the red neck in the red states that got us there in the first place. God bless this country we need you!

Why are people reading Blitzer's comments about Obama and bashing Obama? He didn't write it. Wolf said that Obama seemed at ease. You all take that and now Obama's full of himself. Nothing this guy seems to do is right for some people. Florida and Michigan don't follow the rules and it's Obama's fault. His pastor says controversial stuff and it's Obama's fault he said them. Hillary lies about snipers and it's Obama's fault. Some people have lost all objectivity. You bash him cause he is "inexperienced". George W Bush has experience and is driving this country into the ground. How many want him to have a third term? As an independent voter I have watched this campaign and in my opinion Obama seems a lot more geniune that Clinton.

End the War. Do you guys really think any Democrat will end the war, let along a Republican? The ensuing bloodbath would be their fault, their downfall. Can see it now, the beheadings, the burning homes, the screaming children and women. All within the first year of their presidency.
End the war, hey I got some great land to sell you guys down near southern Alabama.

To go Republican on war is just idiotic, very miseld if your still going in that direction, itll take a bombshell to wake those people up. Open a book people, learn from experience, stop yip yapping about how you hunt and shoot guns, get a life. Last thing we need is a stubborn Vet holding us down for another 100 years. This is just going in circles. Plz vote Dem either way we win there, Obama may stink but clear the lane for the better and Clinton as they say will give us our economy back, to talk McCain is so misinformed it makes me sick. We didnt break away from England to be here throwing our money into more foreign investments that just end of in the pockets of high ranking officials, patriotism has totally taken the form of stupidity lately. One more thing.....want to talk security, do something about our borders, over there means nothing if here isnt safe, our own kids are becoming enough of a threat forget terrorism. Its time to wake up people.

With all due respect B/NYC – For the people that say that they would not vote for Sen. Barack Obama are uneducated hillbillies! Go ahead and vote for McCain, you are only hurting yourself, you're losing your jobs, you can't figure out how you're going to pay for gas, you need to budget your money to feed your family, you have to worry about social security and if it will be available for you, you have to worry about your children, you are losing your homes, you won’t be able to provide a better future for your children, and you will always be at the bottom!! So, Go ahead and vote for another George Bush, Go right ahead! If that makes sense in your little mind, feel free to vote for McCain! It all makes sense!

Obama will never be able to beat MCCain. I cant believe how many people have voted for him. We do not know very much about him to be electing him as the nominee. At least we do know the Clintons and they are strong fighters to the end. Obama is too wet behind the ears for this job!

Seems Nobama could have a little temper there when ask about what McCain said. Wouldn't take too much to see his true colors. Shows that he is NOT ready for the White House and all that comes with being President. Not enough experience.....The interview showed absolutely nothing that we did not already know about him...still a lot of generalization.

Americans come together all of you and vote for Obama I know there's a lot of white people who can't stand black man being president I tell you as a outsider America IS HURT thanks to bush you vote for Mcain A WAR CRAZY president that will be the down fall for this great nation Rep, Dem give this guy a chance and lead the world by example

Message from uk

I was reading a few comments on CNN ( my # 1 media)
I am 100% agree w/some people if Obama does not rest he can win W Virg because it is not about the poll it is about us people
Y not? Obamacan 2008
ViVa USA back in business around the world

New America with new team and smart, strong polite leaders
Obama & DNC ( including Clintons)

Obama says again his goal is to lead the war in iraq and afganistan, they don't take care of the people here at home in the U.S. They sill don't understand it's the economy stupid! spending billions and it seems to have no end.

DEAR DEMOCRATS;

FOR YOU CLINTON SUPPORTERS WHO WOULD RATHER VOTE MCCAIN THAN OBAMA–AND FOR YOU OBAMA (GO OBAMA) SUPPORTERS WHO WOULD RATHER VOTE MCCAIN THEN CLINTON--YOU NEED TO RETHINK YOUR 'PARTY STATUS' BECAUSE YOU OBVIOUSLY ARE NOT A TRUE DEMOCRAT, AND YOU OBVIOUSLY DON'T CARE ABOUT THE ISSUES WE FACE TODAY.

WE NEED TO COME TOGETHER AS A PARTY AND JUST FACE THE FACT THAT OBAMA IS GOING TO BE THE NOMINEE.

-OBAMA 08

Of couse he is. Are you?

Wolf, you keep talking about the Dream Team cause you know its the only way either O or H and your beloved Democrats get the white house. Perhaps the two of them together could snow enough Americans.

Wolf

Great interview on your part but need more.

You told him regular Americans own stock and would pay capital gains Obama cut you off and took it right to 401K – but the main thing is he will have capital gains taxes paid on anybody, any income that owns stock on it’s own from buying it on your own or if it was giving to you by the company you work for.

-When you told him about McCain telling him that Hammas said they wanted Obama for President – He called that name calling – how is that name calling when he is mentioning a Gov. that wants to sit and talk with.

I don’t know what else Obama has to do that he could not spend more than 15 min. answering questions for millions of people around the country 30-45 min. c’mon Interview was way to short.

Very nice interview Wolf, now it seems you are emerging as a 21 century great anchor after renouncing Clinton Nonsense Network (CNN) and back to Cable News Network (CNN). You know Obama should have told you-what makes Hillary unelectable- just take her bad judgement (picking up Mark Penn and many others even Bill Clinton husband and former president, and she herself did not know the democratic primary rules) -anybody could see that she has failed to manage human resource management of her campaign. ECONOMY-Her campaigns financial management was chaotic and show her bad management where and how to generate and how to spent. She does not believe in law, rules and regulation which does not suit to her personal advantage and thats made her petty not like presidential, and any political scientist can tell. SHE SHOULD HAVE QUIT GRECIOUSLY!

Only delusional Clinton supporters could read this and call him arrogant. Completely absurd. You are taking commentary from the author and putting those words into the mouth of Sen. Obama. Who knows if he was truly "at ease?" That's just the author's opinion of him. If you actually read what Obama said, he has not accepted the press' nomination of him and even stated that to suggest Clinton be at the bottom of the ticket would be presumptuous. This, after Clinton prematurely suggested she be on the top of the ticket weeks ago.

Shame on America.
More so shame on CNN and other media for Obama hype.
America is the most powerful and the greatest nation.
Yet it denies a woman becoming president.
Even Asian countries like Bangla Desh ,Pakistan,Sri Lanka, India have had Prime Ministers and Presidents.

IT IS SHAME THAT AMERIA IS NOT YET PREPARED FOR IT.
SHAME ON CNN.

Very presidential, Barack. He will literally destroy his opponent in debate. McCain doesn't even understand the economy. The economy! Isn't that one of the main driving points in this election or for that matter being president? With that said, politics as usual. McCain and the republican slime machine will again fall back to their simple minded tactics, and over inflating irrelevant issues to create and appeal to 'fears' in uninformed Americans: Freedom, terror, uhh freedom, uhhh patriotism, uhhh did we say freedom. It never fails. The "swift boat" strategy is alive and well.

Great job Senator Obama! Think he will be a fine President!.
Having HRC as VP is a bad idea. This election is about change not old politics!.

VERY Presidential.......

VERY....

I look forward to the return to statesmanship in the Whitehouse!

He is ready to take on the world. I am not American but I have followed this election process and do agree that it's time for change. Too much of Bush and Clinton!!! This is what true Democracy is all about, giving opportunities to people no matter what their background is or where their from. As long as the exhibit the qualities of a leader then they are more than ready to take on the responsibilties of leading their country.

Way to go, Obama !! But be careful to not give too much credit unnecessarily to Hillary..as she doesn't deserve such nice words from her opponent.

One quality I wish Obama had little more is killer instinct..if only he had half of what she has, this would've been over long back.

It's really very funny, how Hillary talks about electability..She can't even beat Obama in getting the delegates/populat vote..being a former First Lady and all the bogus experience she claims..still crying for MI & FL votes which was not a contest at all in the first place. If Obama was in her place now, he would be ashamed to even ask for those votes to be counted..I am ok for a revote in those 2 states now..

I truly don't believe at this point that Hillary and Obama should be on the same ticket. Hillary is showing signs of resentment and poor sportsmanship. I know it is hard for her to except at this point that it is not her time but I believe she will be very vindictive and try to set Barack up for failure. I just don't believe he should trust her being that close up under him. I do however pray for Hillary that God will give her peace and heal her heart of disappointment. She just must know that God has an appointed time for everything and everyone; it doesn't mean that she does not have her turn in office it's just not right now. The sooner she except Gods will and ask for forgivenss the sooner she will heal and be able to know what He really has plan for her now.

President Barack Obama will make us proud as Americans.

I'm very excited that he has proven he has the leadership, vision and love of our country that will win the respect of most world leaders.

As for a VP candidate, my vote will be for either Dashle or Edwards. . .BUT not Clinton.

This is SO exciting!

Linda,

Please stop interferring in Politics you don't understand. Suggesting he should "handle" Lebanon means "foreign" interference in a Civil war (it is shaping up to be a civil war every day now) that has nothing to do with the US in the first place.
Don't you understand that the more the US and/or Israel opposes a certain faction, the more they grow in popularity and power??
The only reason Hezbollah is as powerful and as popular as they are now is because of the Israeli invasion of Lebanon in 2006, not to mention they were formed during the first Israel/Lebanon war in reaction to the Israeli invasion in the 80s!
The best thing for the US to do is stay out of it and let the Lebanese handle their own, putting US politicians and/or soldiers in the middle will only help unify their people against "foreigners" and fan extremism even more! The fact that the Seniora government is a US ally makes them seem weaker in the eyes of the Lebanese, and helps Hezbollah's cause.
Something like this has to be handled very carefully.
Please stop with these Republican suggestions.

For any one who still calims that Obama is inexperienced till this day, what does the expreience of Clinton, McCain or Bush tell you other than a failed war, a failed campaign and a failed American dream?

If Clnton with all of her experience cannot even manage her check book, what else can she be ready for? Not my pocket for sure.

FOR ALL OF YOU CRYING ABOUT A RE-VOTE: A re-vote is not possible at this time. You can not throw an election together in weeks or months.. they take a lot of money and planning which neither state is prepared to spend/do. MI and FL made their own bed, and Clinton didn't give a crap about "their right to be heard" until she was losing. Time to let it go people.

All of you Clintonites that say you wont vote for Obama are just showing your ignorance and hatred. He won this nomination because he had a superior campaign. So you're going to vote for McCain? Overturn Roe Vs Wade... stay in Iraq... lose the economy altogether? GET OVER YOURSELVES.

OBAMA '08

Listen up. OBAMA IS the nominee. Period. If you can't support him because of _______, then leave the party and go vote for someone who's a litle more ________. BUT, for Pete's sake, stop your whining and stop trying to rip the party apart! If you had all the influence you think you have, OBAMA would not be the nominee. Clearly, democrats across the United States do not agree with you. I know it sounds cruel, but it's "cruel love".

Please don't put Clinton on the ticket with Obama.

I appreciate his humility. Hillary is a great leader and so is he. I really respect him for admitting that and not being bitter towards her. I have to admit, I have always mindlessly voted republican all my voting years. For the first time, I am excited about my vote for Obama. I am willing and ready to step up with him to make a change. I really believe that there is no president out there that can change the country, but there is a president who can unite us and inspire us all to make changes in our own lives and ways and that is Obama. There is no miracle, but I actually believe that in America we can make a difference and change the direction our nation is going, and Obama is the best chance to inspire each of us to make that happen. I am willing to do my part, are you willing to do yours?

The Chicago mafia? Community Organizer? Clueless foreign policy? A used car salesman that went to Harvard on an academic scholarship? The guy is a U.S. Senator. You're entitled to your opinion, but trust me – educated opinions are much more convincing. Whomever you support, it doesn't matter, as long as you educate yourselves so you can make an informed decision. Go to the candidate's web sites and actually read what their positions are. Obama's Blueprint For Change is an extremely detailed, deep document that outlines his specific accomplishments and proposals on many important issues, including foreign policy. I don't agree with all of them, but I know what they are. Same for McCain. Go to his web site. It's full of information. Find out. Don't your children deserve that commitment from you? Don't you deserve it? Thanks.

I'm just curious about something.. When in his political career did
Barak Obama become just black? Why don't we ever hear him
talk positively about his white heritage? Maybe, it was when he
stopped calling himself Barry and started calling himself Barak.
Quite a slap in the face to his mother and grandmother who
raised him that he doesn't even recognize he comes from
them too.

He was at ease because he will be our next President. His answers were claer, concis, and honest, unlike Hillary clinton!

once again we get knee jerk attitudes from people who have their own agenda as to how this country should be run. that said the bigger problem is that most white people see obama as some sort of flash in the pan..and the way he's being protrad is solely unfair also we need to address the attitude the breeds this type of closet racism that exist ..mr blitzer say minutes ago that obama gets really mad at a statement mad by mccain and i'm still waiting to see that.. proving that white people have no idea who blacks are or even how we think. what white people should be upset about is how during the Indiana and so to be w.Virginia primary is how the news refers to Clinton's base in most of those areas as uneducated whites who have no high school diplomas...

“But it would be presumptuous of me at this point when she is still actively running, when she is highly favored to win two of the next three contests, for me to somehow suggest that she should be a running mate.”

Incredible. He manages to compliment her, while at the same time allow her to run in the race even though it is virtually impossible for her to win. Even while commenting on her, "I would let him be my running mate" fiasco. I love his ability to look at a situation and blame no one; just look for an answer.

I really feel like he would be the best candidate for this place and time in history.

He just gets better and better and better. Really, I believe President Obama is exactly what America needs right this minute. It has been clear for some time that Senator Obama has a "date with destiny" and we are really now starting to see why! Just what we need when we need it.

yes – ignorance and naivety are bliss
Hillary will prevail !!!!!!

Hey Jack i started watching CNN after listening to your analysis. Stay put!

Pls my love, Obama be strong and go to W virginia and campagn ok
because it's all about us ( people) we can make you the winner there also. ok
Goooooo and talk to them ..they love you..you might win.
We Love our country & Obama
Obama08

Whom would your prefer as your president, the candidate whose emotions are available to be witnessed or the one whose emotions are never seen?

I thought it was the PEOPLE'S right to annoint the nominee, not the media. Why can't we just let this play out, if Obama hangs on then he is that more tested and strong to compete against McBush. If Hillary is the choice, she will also benefit from the tough fight. Including CNN, the media will get it's nominees when the people are ready, not based on Wolf's 'interview'. John King....you totally rock, best of the best unbiased and a true reporter.

Obama has the vision we need to repair our global image!
OBAMA 08

HILLARY...LET IT GO..BOO BOO!!! IT'S OVER...

who care's about experience look around you everyone in the big position's are people without experience. Its all about who u know and what you can do for them. America has become land of influncial people. People with connection not with talent.

Anybody that professes to be a Democrat but will vote for McCain if Hillary loses is a complete idiot. To ignore the gap between Democrats and Republicans is pure stupidity.

This is a response to LindaMay 8th, 2008 4:16 pm ET

I bet he does seem at ease. He doesn't have a CLUE about the urgency of our problems so it is very easy for him to sit and "talk". How about the escalation in Beirut today? He prepared to handle that? Why is he not calling meetings on his Afghan oversight committee? Oh I forgot he is too busy campaigning. His arrogance makes me sick.
's comments

......

Has Senator Clinton called a meeting with her Afghan Oversight Committee? Oh yeah....she's campaigning also.....You are just upset because he's doing so good over her. I know what the real reason is, but I'll keep that too myself. We are americans people! Other countries are watching us act like fools. Why can't we all get this together?

A crown will look nice on his head.

Dear Ron,

And you believe Bush is a good Commander in Chief? No clear mission, cuts funding to the VA, sends tropps over without the proper equipment, denies press coverage of those killed, continually changes the goals, calims victory immaturely. What Gives? 27 years served so far and deploying again this fall. I would be proud to have either Hillary of Barack as my Commander in Chief, as least they would be engaged and have real goals, and would start pre-emptive wars

That what we should have been doing from the start, focusing on John McSame. The bottom line is Clinton has nothing to gain and she can't win. We need to rally behind Obama, solve the michigan Florida issue, and go full steam at McSame.

when obama loses, one of the reasons will be his dumb and arrogant supporters

Obama we love you...my advise to you do not rest keep working hard
West V, Porto Rico, Kt, Orgon, don't stop..work like you did after PA
do not trust no Media..no Poll OK
Love You & America
Obama 08

Oh, Steven....you poor guy. Democracy was, in its earliest days, "radical"...and in many ways it still is. That's why we have always had to fight for it, in our country and abroad. Don't be so paranoid.

It makes my heart smile to know that he is the next President of the United States!

ooops, misspelled – I meant 1/2 of the "Democratic" where did I get demegraphic...... Oh well, you got my drift.....

CNN reporters are in love with Obama. It was love at first sight. It is inappropriate for journalists to favor candidates and project that favoritism in their journalism. Wolf Blitzer always struck me as on the soft side anyway – he was hiding under the bed during the Gulf War blitz in Iraq and then he took a desk job. I remember watching that.

I honestly cant think of a Obama presidency. Here my word, IF Hillary isnt the nominee, McCain will be president. Please Dems, why do u guys always pick the wrong guy? I mean, when we have the best chances to win, we end up losing. Learn your lesson. MCCAin will be president if Obama is the nominee. This will just be another of countless mistakes the dems have done in choosing there nominee.

To all Obama supporters.
You have made your choice and now you have to live with it.
McCAIN FOR PRESIDENT-YAHOOOOOOOO!!!!!

This man, Barack Obama, is truly Presidential material and it's our time as Americans to cease this opportunity. Obama has been gifted to us as the messenger of peace, prosperity and happiness.

B / NYC May 8th, 2008 4:09 pm ET

Wolf…
With all due respect… Half of the Democratic Party hates Senator Obama and will NEVER vote for him…
He's dreaming… Pretty full of himself!!!
-------------------------------–

Hate??? Hmmm. Need I say more. It can't be on policy because both he and Clinton's policy are so close to one another? What else could it be to make a person use this word? I'll let the readers draw their own conclusions.

What a relief. It's time the public no longer has to put up with hearing the names "Clinton & Bush" . Thank God they are gone. A new beginning, clean slate and fresh start. Oh I am counting days.

You ALL need to keep in mind that the world at large is watching what is going on with the Democrats. There are a lot of countries who, if Obama wins, are willing to support the US. Clinton and McCain supporters keep talking about his lack of foreign policy yet all these other countries are looking forward to working with Obama. That alone is a huge win for this country.

We need to stop this infighting and truly concentrate on the big prize.

Whoever said that 1/2 of the Demegraphic party hates Obama is so full of it! I guess you just don't want to admit that he'll be our next president. Let's be realistic here-– as much as I back Barack Obama – IF he doesn't become our nominee & I emphasize the word "IF". I'll cast my vote for Hillary – cuz there is no way that we need another person in office who will continue the Bush mind set. I'm sure that most Americans think that same way as well. Why cut your nose to spite your face. He's such a refreshing change & am so looking forward to having him in office. Go Obama! YES YOU CAN!!!!

"He prepared to handle that? Why is he not calling meetings on his Afghan oversight committee? Oh I forgot he is too busy campaigning. His arrogance makes me sick."

There is no "Afghan oversight committee." He's chair for the subcommittee for European Affairs. Afghanistan is not in Europe. The only truth to the Clinton attack boils down to the argument that he should be pressuring NATO, which includes European countries, to do more in Afghanistan.

Obama is great leader you morons who dont support him...the media is alway right...as they would not have said this...Obama should be the next prez....we all should vote for him...you morons....

Obama.....enjoy this time till Nov. after that there is nothing to enjoy....

It is because he thinks he is the Democratic nominee, and officially, he is not. But he is acting like it. No surprise. Months ago we saw him as 'star struck', and still feel that he is like that.

The USA needs to have NICE PERSON like Barack Obama as a President. We can trust Barack Obama, that is a very importan point. He has many nice and respectful backers. Those backers and his supporters are going to help him to make the USA big again.

Hillary is a super ambitious woman, we can see how she is doing "ANYTHING" to be a president. She said anything even lies to win this election. She said bad things about other people just to make her like Rambo or Rocky. This is so sad!!
I hope she will not ruin the country because of her own greed.

he is our nominee no matter what the delusional lady says and he will be our President no matter what the \GOP and billary does.......

i'm feeling more comfortable ,too.he will make a great president ,for ALL the people.mccain is toast,already!DEMOCRATS UNITE!

Obama – Calm, cool and very Presidential.

Imagine Hillary in this position...i get the shudders just thinking about it.

i'll have a gas holiday (not)
i was dodging sniper fire in Bosnia (not)
i'll turn Iran into a smoking hole
i'm a fighter
ALL NEGATIVE, all the time

It's time for a thoughtful, considerate, thinking president – Obama

So I guess that you think Bush know more than Obama? The stop sign up the street know more than Bush! Anyone would be better, it can't get any worse.

I will not listen to the interview. I hope the questions were tough questions and he had specific answers. I have to say I used to enjoy CNN as my station of choice and Wolfe was always interesting. I do not watch CNN TV as I have lost respect for the station and the reporters. During the past few months they have been biased and tried to lead the country into voting their way. Obama has no idea what may be ahead of him. He does not have my vote. I am a Hillary supporter all the way and I promise if she is not the candidate I will have to make a decision to stay home or suffer for 4 years with McCain. That being said we'll see how the next few weeks play out.

Obama supporters ... get over yourselves....

There is no presumptive nominee and half the democrats don't like your candidate.

Don't count Senator Clinton out – until he has reached the magic number.

Oh, and I think all super delegates holding office should vote as their district did. And those not holding office should vote as their state did. I may be wrong, but that gives Senator Clinton enough super delegates to claim the nomination.

B / NYC,

Where do you get your numbers, Hillary's math?

Time for a new Obama Girl single!

Obama got off course a few times, because he allowed the media and the crowd to dictate how he should run his campaign. But overall he ran a great campaign and never stooped as low as the clintons. He had so much dirt he could have used, but he stuck to his word and didn't go there...the only story he rode was the sniper fire story and she put that out not him. They quietyly kept rev. wright in the media and the superdelegates ear, the went on and on how he can win the "white vote", they went on and on about no experience, a speech maker that's it with no substance, just negative ever since south carolina. Be at ease obama, keep God first and remember we are the united states of america, one nation under God, indivisible with liberty and justice for all.

What's important is that the plateform that sponsors discounts for the rich, tax breaks for the top 2, and a money oriented policy is returned to he White House. As an Obama support I like what I see but I would vote for Hillary before John M.

The conservitive agenda, many speaking out in this bloc, just don't get it... you support a "Money for Me" mental model, while the country and world goes down. We need a new direction that is "WE" focused and not "me" focused. Read Obama's book and you'll see this in his persona.

I have to tell you Wolf, some of the comments I see on here bashing Obama are beyond racist and frankly stupid, you need to set a retarted limit to the types of emails you allow people to post on here.

He should be at ease and refreshing and inspiring to lead america.

HE CAN'T AFFORD TO BE OVERWELMED BY HIS ACHIEVEMENTS.

GO OBAMA GO

OBAMACAN 08.

Thank you Woff. It is about time that the media gives Barack Obama his due especially after they took him through the wringer during the PA primary campaign. It seemed as though Hillary Clinton was the princess of the ball and if she went negative then CNN went negative. Although Obama has more work to do within the next few weeks, it seems as though he is that much closer to become the presumptive nominee for the Democratic party. Democrats get on broad for us to make history here in the United States of AMERICA.

In november 90% of democrat white voters will be voting for the democratic party nominee......OBAMA!

That's my MAN!

Notice how he always takes the high road regarding Hillary?

That's called team players!

Also – how would any one respect him if he is tearing people down!

Let's get it on! Let's turn to fight Mc Cain!

Hillary -time to give it up! You had a lousy campaign and managers!

Also – you know Wolf – Obama is a better person than me!

It was only a few days ago that you and all of the hound dogs were attacking him 24/7 because of your love for Hillary!

You guys gave Rev. Wright more coverage than Hillary and the Pope! Also – we know why you kept Rev. Wright pictures on your Political Ticker!

Barack should be relaxed. He had a resounding victory in NC and he exceeded expectations in IND on Tuesday, too.

But, he should be in West Virginia today and tomorrow and this weekend. He cannot get smoked by thirty. We need a nominee that can win in smaller towns and rural areas. As he says, he is running for president of the United States of America.

Norm,

I'm marking your words, then thowing them in the trash where they belong.

Jason - you don't know what a community organizer is?

And to those of you saying Obama is "full of himself" because he believes he can win in November...would you expect any less from a PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE? Also, isn't it far less of a stretch for him to believe that he can win than it is for Hillary Clinton to be claiming that she's on the road to the white house when she hasn't been able to pull off a lead in the primaries even though she started the campaign as an incumbent thanks to her name and her connections?

I hope all of you Hillary democrats are starting to realize how much like a republican your candidate is acting and think very strongly about whether or not you want McCain in November. Sure, it give Hill another chance in 4 years, but by that time our supreme court will be unrecognizable, we'll have lost thousands more to the war in iraq and heaven knows where else, and we'll all be riding our bikes to work (if we're lucky enough to still have jobs) because oil will be trading at $400 a barrel.

Mr. Nice Guy. Obama even looks evil. Hillary is an Angel compared to him. The Media has not done it's job and we are going to pay the price for their negligence.

That is his personality, he doesn't get flustered, like some other hysterical and angry candidates.

Obama is an honorable and decent man who deserves to be president. He will do well and we need to support him. Just look at what we have now and compare the two. I just wish he had been available in 2004. Things would be different in Iraq; gas would be cheaper and most of us would be happier for the experience.

Obama can only win the general election if the democratic party unites. For those who support Clinton, they really have no choice but to support Obama. To not support Obama would be a slap in the face to Clinton and the ultimate show of disrespect for the woman who they claim to "support".

NO NO NO

That would be a complete disaster! If they attempt to go that route Obama will run independent and still beat Hillary. In 3 way match up in Nov Obama beat Mc Cain and Hillary handedly!

Go Obama 08 Yes We Can

I am not sure that Americans fully comprehend how impressed the rest of the world is with the prospect that you might elect Obama as your president. It would disprove a lot of conceptions we have about Americans, after you voted George Bush into power TWICE. I just hope that the closed-minded, anti-Obama Americans open their eyes and realize how important this moment in history is for all of us.

LET'S GO PRESIDENT OBAMA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Of course he was relaxed. He knew he was talking to a Clinton supporter (you Wolf) and he is reaching out to everyone. He needs your vote, Wolf.

NoBama 08, NoBama ever!!!

Yes we can
Obama 08' ,12

Don' Trust him, Don't Trust him, Don't Trust him. Barak will say and do anything to get elected. He has an agenda. And it is not about
what is good for theUnited States.

Calling all Christians.... Stand at the Gap... Our country is under attack.

What a bunch of Bull–Clinton or Obama will both bring our Country down to its Knees. My son is currently serving in the military, has served two dours in Iraq and is adamant that if either one of these nuts are elected as President, then he will get out of the military stating that neither one of them will ever serve as his "Commander in Chief".

God bless Obama he is a good guy. Thanks CNN!!

I am so tired of hearing about divisions. It is far past time for this country to unite and support a man who stands for the best in us all.
The world is holding its breath to see if we will accomplish this.

Obama is going to destroy Mccain

OBAMA WILL BE THE WORST THING THAT EVER HAPPENED TO THIS COUNTRY!

HE WILL NEVER MAKE IT TO THE WHITE HOUSE UNLESS HE IS ON A TOUR IN D.C.!

SWIFTBOAT!!!!!!!!!

Obama will never get my vote, not impressed, at all he does not and will inspire me

Ready on DAY ONE!!!!!

OBAMA 08-12

Congressman Brad Miller (D-NC) endorses Barack Obama;

Miami Beach Superdelegate Gelber Backs Obama

Obama will lose..Mark my words.

Stop with the hate and bashing. He didn't say one negative thing about Hillary, he in fact said good things about her. I certainly wouldn't have been so nice. You people wouldn't support him regardless so stop pretending you have a reason to hate him because the fact that he is black and beating a white woman.

@ B in NYC: Half of the Dems hate Barack, do they?

What about OVER HALF (60%) of the NATION does not think that Hillary is honest?? How's that play in November?

I love Barack Obama!!!!!!!!!!! He is going to be our 44th President, no doubt about it.

The Netherlands would love to see Obama become President.

Obama is so presidential. I'm looking forward to the days ahead.

He looks and sounds like a president. I couldn't be happier.

Question....
Why is it races to say that Obama is losing white voters but not races to say Clinton is losing African/American voters?

About 75% of Americans will vote for McCain!

That's Mccains supporters and about half the Democratic party.

Sounds like he was very gentlemanly. Now I like him even more!

Miami Beach Superdelegate Gelber Backs Obama

Obama 08

I love it when HRC supporters call the media biased. If they are upset that the media is treating him like he is already the nominee, its because he practically is. It seems as though everyone knows that Obama will be the nominee except for them. If they don't like the fact that Clinton is in the dust then they will have to take that up with Hillary herself. This race was Hillary's to lose. When this thing started out nobody hardly even knew who Barack Obama was and the Clintons had been the "it" couple for the democratic party since 1992!! If with all of her "experience" and "electability" she can't beat a two term junior senator from Chicago then maybe she doesn't deserve to be our next president.

Hillary Clinton supporters:

Please stop with the threats and insults. I realize many Obama supporters are gloating and taunting you, which is disappointing and wrong. I wish this wasn’t going on. However, it's important that you rise above the petty taunts and stop threatening to vote against the well-being of our nation just because your preferred candidate will not be in the race. Voting for a Democrat, regardless of who he/she is, is absolutely critical this fall. We're all depending on Clinton supporters everywhere to see the big picture and help the Democratic Party take back the White House, and help our nation begin recovering from Bush's mistakes and blunders at home and abroad. We need you, there's no denying it. Please, please, please unite behind Obama and help the cause. We're in this together.

More than 45 percent of Democrats will vote for McCain.
Thanks Obama

Today's events in Beriut clearly require someone with experience be elected. If not Hillary.....McCain all the way

Ask Obama why he won't allow Michigan and Florida to have a revote.
They have an August 5th vote coming up.
Couldn't he just add their names to the ballot and then everyone would be happy.
Don't except: HA HA
That is not an answer. He is good at that.
Ask him specifically what would be the problem.
Would it affect his standing.
Wouldn't he have a poor argument that he is the most electable?

a little OT, but i wondered can the people who voted in Fla and Michigan sue the Clinton campagn for knowingly disenfranchinsing them by including Clinton on a ballot that was already deemed illegal? I wonder uf the majority of those voters did not know their vote could/would be in question.

Barack seems act as if he has a big pile of snowballs ready for John McCain. Very confident.

Faith,

His best week will be in January 2009!

He knows now that he just has to run out the clock and let the system do it's job.

I bet he does seem at ease. He doesn't have a CLUE about the urgency of our problems so it is very easy for him to sit and "talk". How about the escalation in Beirut today? He prepared to handle that? Why is he not calling meetings on his Afghan oversight committee? Oh I forgot he is too busy campaigning. His arrogance makes me sick.

Why shouldn’t Mr. Obama be at ease? With every major media outlet and commentator having lost their objectivity and trying desperately to convince Mrs. Clinton to give up, it is small wonder that his ego is so inflated. The Time “Rag-azine” cover you mention says it all…

“I showed him the new issue of Time magazine, which features him on the cover, along with the words: “And the winner is…”

This could be a true “Dewey Wins in Landslide!” moment for Time.

Hillary is fighting an uphill battle. I will say this for her–she has fought and fought and fought. However, at some point, one must have enough sense to realize that it is time to quit. She is the one who lied about Bosnia sniper fire, about the poor girl without benenfits who died; she and Bill accepted $800,000 from NAFTA for speeches by dear old Bill; Bill and Hill are the ones in a suit filed by Peter Paul; and now, after initially agreeing that MI and FL votes should NOT count, she is saying she has ALWAYS been for counting them.

It is no wonder Obama feels comfortable...he is on his way to the White House, and he certainly has my blessing. OBAMA 08

Obama is a great American.

Obama/Webb 08.

President Barack H. Obama

We did it!!!! No more Republicans

it's a done deal, the Yes we can machine have prevail

Senator Obama has always been at ease and confident...As far as Obama asking Hilary to be the Vice President.....FORGET IT!...Anyway, Hillary was Vice President to her husband, just as Gore....

I am just about to watch the interview with Barack Obama and Wolf Blitzer
I am so thrilled that it looks like he is going to be our nominee, and next president. I think Hillary should just get out of the race. I worry so much that she and Bill are going to come up with some devious way of overturning this. I also think it would be a big mistake for Barack to offer her the VP position. After all, he has been running on a change from the old politics in Washington, and she is of the old politics. I think it would not help him at all, and he does not need Hillary/Bill in the whitehouse with him

I am sure he was....he was with friends!!

Wolf and the whole of CNN is Biased for Obama...the only one that I can say that isn't is Lou Dobbs.

They need to get Jack off the air...he is so stupid now, I can't hardly stand to watch him.. you are going to lose many viewers.

What about Paul v Clinton?

don't count u'll chickens before they hatch. come nov. it's going 2 b president mccain. how is one going 2 unite with all of these rude obama supporters. i had never heard so many rude people in my life. cnn u'll never print my comments.....why

Some of you guys are so filled with hatred toward this man, you must live unhappy lives.

Obama should be campaigning in the states left. Last night CNN kept usng football as an analogy. Well, even if the game was wrapped up, no team would walk off the field midway through the third quarter, and leave the losing team on the field by themselves. It would rob the fans still in the bleachers.

That is why I like him. Go Obama.

Obama's best week ever!!!

So, Wolf, did you have to clean your drawers after Mr. Obama played nice with your girlfriend, Hilldog? Too bad she doesn't have the same manners and magnanimity. Maybe on your next date you can teach her a few things Slick Willy wasn't able to accomplish.

hillary supporters please stop drinking you purple and red Kool-aid, this nomination process is over for your candidate please stand strong for the party instead of people or candidates!!!!

America and the whole world will be at ease when Obama becomes the president

that's my boy, he IS comfortable and he is a GENUINE. praising Hillary even after the train wreck of a compaign she has run is a stand up move. Obama will be great for this country and I can't wait for the day he is elected. He has truly inspired me and my family on what the american people are capable of.

god bless Obama and god bless america!

i hope the superdelegates will all call Clinton and tell her to show the same grace in bowing out as Obama has shown the last few days in praising her. He is setting the stage and it would be a great time for Clinton to start praising him. Our party will be so strong and united, we will literally trounce Mccain.

Wolf...
With all due respect... Half of the Democratic Party hates Senator Obama and will NEVER vote for him...
He's dreaming... Pretty full of himself!!!

I wonder if Obama would be so calm if he actually debated Hillary. In the past debates he did his best to agree with Hillary. Now that there are some clear policy differences he is afraid of a debate. He has not locked this nomination up yet and if Michigan and Florida are not included in the DNC Convention I will leave the party. He has a lot to be neverous about still.

I wonder if Hillary Clinton is the one that make and change rules for the Democratics party whenever she wants. Now Hillary Cliton state that if the Democratics party has the rules that the Republicans have she would be the nominee long time ego. I suggest that Hillary go run as a Republican candidate if she wants their rules. Rules are rules; Florida and Michigan had mess up their chances to have their delegates sit and I believe that it not to Hillary's power to tell the DNC how to sit them delegates. These delegates from these two state should not be seated at all. The Democratics party is losing its standard by seating Florida and Michigan and in the future any state could just say well I am doing my primary in such and such date because Florida and Michigan did it and they get away with it. Obama needs to be careful with any proposal from Hillary Clinton.

I'm glad that he's being such a good sport.

See – he has nice things to say about Hillary Clinton. Just like he always congratulates her when she wins a primary.

Maybe all of you people saying you wouldn't vote for Obama should take a second look and realize he is a genuinely nice, respectful guy.

President Obama !!

Has a nice ring to it.

He is our next President and I am overjoyed by the thought.

Wolf, you REALY show your bias
I thought journalists are supposed to be UNbiased????

These guys just make me sick (both Obama and Blitzer) I can't even tune into this network anymore. I can't imagine our country giving the reins of power over to an inexperienced community organizer (whatever that is?) I believe the Chicago Mafia is behind this.

All right!

Democrats Unite '08!

Wolf did you even ask him when he is going to Iraq to see whats taking place on the ground there???????? He is so worried about McCain's repeating of what Hamas said, that Obama doesn't have a foreign policy clue whats going on there. Of course he is at ease he is a good used car salesmen.

of course he is comfortable
