To An American in Canada:

First off, please learn to speak English.

Secondly, if you have moved to Canada, how can you say WE. You have given up your right to participate in this country's politics. Worry about your next Prime Minister.

Finally, counting the popular vote in Michigan is as ludicrous as your proclamation that the Party is shoving Obama down our throats. The only way Hillary can win is if super delegates over rule the popular vote. Obama was not even on the ballot in Michigan because he did the right thing (which the Clintons don't know how to do). However, if you grant us the votes from Michigan who voted uncommited, you can have Florida and Michigan. If you can do math (which I sincerely doubt) Obama is soundly winning the popular vote. In fact, we don't even need that uncommited vote after North Carolina and Indiana are weighed in!

Do any of you really want to explain to your future grandchildren about how you failed to support a great, historic president when they ask you to tell them about the man on the currency that you just handed them?

Obama in 08 & 12!

American in Cananda-

I do not quite get your point. Obama has been the one all along that it was the American peoples vote that counted, not the Supers. Oddly enough it is HRC that has swayed back and forth, you tell me, is it the Supers that make the decision, the people, no right now it is the Supers, according to HRC they should overturn the popular vote which lies with Obama.

On the FL and MI deal, she agreed back when both states broke party rules that those primaries would not count, again like her swaying theories on who votes who in, she has now taken the route of them counting even if they did break the rules.

Come on HRC supporters, McCain Democrats, whom ever you are this week. Do you really want more conservative Justices, continued Bush Tax Cuts, a long drawn out Iraq war? Seriously?

IF HILLARY CLINTON WILL GO INDEPENDENT, THERE'S NO QUESTION ASK, SHE WILL BEAT BOTH DEMOCRAT AND REPUBLICAN, ESPECIALLY SHE IS WINNING THE BIG STATES. THE FIRST WOMAN PRESIDENT INDEPENDENT PARTY, I WILL GO FOR INDEPENDENT PARTY. RIGHT NOW MCCAIN WANTS TO GO AGAINST OBAMA, BECAUSE OBAMA IS NOT GOING TO WIN THE ELECTION ON NOV., BUT IF HILLARY WILL GO AGAINST MCCAIN, MCCAIN WILL LOSE. GO HILLARY. YOU'RE STRONG, WE NEED A STRONG PRESIDENT NOT A LAME DUCK............WIN HILLARY WIN,.THOSE REMAINING STATES NEED TO BE HEARD LIKE MICHIGAN AND FLORIDA.

Sumitra – Where on earth are you from? Leiberman responsible for so many Iraqi deaths? Where were you when the monster Saddam Hussein was killing the Iraqis? McCain knows, firsthand, the horror of war and is NOT bloodthirsty. He does understand the importance of fighting for freedom which, clearly and sadly, too many people do not understand and are willing to let all the freedom loving patriots, who sacrificed their lives, die in vain. Can YOU even understand what this is all about?

Obama would be a danger to freedom loving America-what's left of it.

Scott,

I hate to be the one to tell you this, but Bush has already ended our status as a super power.

I keep seeing people bash Obama over "lies and lack of experience." I guess its OK to lie and have experience? If you think McCain or any of those who have been in office for any length of time actually care about any of us, I have an invisible bridge I'd like to sell to you.

Politicians only have two things in mind – getting elected and staying in power. Period.

I think when the Republicans get through with Obama, he's going to be toast. And one thing we've already found out, when he makes negative statements about McCain in speeches/interviews as he did with Wolfe Blitzer, the Republicans will not take it silently; they will shout "attacked" from the highest mountain because that's what it is. And they will not let these attacks go unpunished, however subtle Obama tries to make them. It's going to be interesting to see how well the media can continue protecting Barack Obama once the general election process is underway.

Senator Joe Lieberman should stop with the lies, and stop trying to push the scare tactics. Senator Obama is the only honest, trustworthy candidate in this race. Joe is a trader and very sneaky, McCain is old and so is Lieberman. They both need to sit down and let some of the new blood bring about a change in The White House. McCain said that he'd not run a negative campaign and every chance that he gets he is spewing and spinning lies on Senator Obama, Senator McCain was on nation wide tv debating with his mother about when he was born on a Friday or Saturday. She said Saturday and he says Friday. I would think that his mom has more of her wits about her than he does. Also, the word bearings just means: the manner in which one conducts or carries oneself, including posture and gestures: a man of dignified bearing. You-all can find that on Dictionary.com if you're unsure. It does not mean old.

Lieberman has only one agenda...imperial zionism. He is in bed with right-wing religionists, Republicans, and anyone else who supports an imperial Israel, regardless of their specific agenda. How cynical is the courting of Apocalyptical Protestants who are just trying to hold Israel until Jesus returne. (This does NOT label me as an anti-semite, just someone who'd like to see a little balance in our Mid-East policies.There is hope,however, as even some Israelis are beginning to take a more balanced view of their future.

Joe Lieberman is important...why? I think maybe Gore should have picked someone else – probably cost him the White House. Joe should lobby to be McFlip's running mate so he can torpedo another presidential ticket (although McFlop can probably handle that all by himself).

why would anyone listen to a word Lieberman says....i often wonder if he is more loyal to America or Israel....by his rhetoric you would think he's actively pursuing WW3...When will Americans understand their policies of isolation have failed countless times....it only strenthens your adversaries....you have isolated Cuba for 50 years,Iran for almost 30, North Korea for 50 and how has that worked out....those situations are all just as bad or worse as they have ever been.

According to Lieberman, John McCain knows how to be tough and when to be soft. Does McCain know how to make a speech without Lieberman having to constantly correct me. Does McCain or his wife know how to tell the truth. When asked if he voted for Bush he said yes, however there are at least 3 witnesses who have said both he and his wife are liars. We've had a president for 8 yrs who has been caught in over 900 lies. Why on earth, would anyone want to vote for McCain. 8 yrs of this is quite enough, shame on you Lieberman for supporting a liar.

Obama has no history. He has no past.

He has never been a professor, a businessman, has had no experience traveling the world. By his own admission he has spent the past two years campaigning. That is about the length of his term so far.

Apparently superdelegates are going to elect Obama.

The votes of the PEOPLE (including those in five states who HAVEN'T VOTED YET), are worthless.

Oregon's own Peter DeFazio, a man I have supported for many years, won't even wait for the Oregon election to end May 20 and observe who will win, Clinton or Obama. Today DeFazio stabbed Hillary in the back while she was actually campaigning in Oregon.

DeFazio, you are a sleazebag.

On May 21 I am going to change my voter's registration to Independent and vote for McCain in November. I think he is most qualified to run our country, far better than Obama, a man who has no past. I have seen no vetting of Obama.

TO AN AMERICAN IN CANADA

PEOPLE LISTEN i am positive i obama was in the position that mrs clinton is in right now,he would have been pushed out of the race a long time ago(yes i said it a looooooong time ago)now that he has clearly won the nomination you hate spewing clinton supporters are acting childish and unpatriotic to the democratic party.in my country here in the caribbean,9 out ten persons will tell you how they see the USA in a new light baring that for the first time in US history a black man has a serious chance of getting elected president.the world is ecstatic,elated,excited...........the fever has reached a boiling point over this great achievement

see i believe that its not that people hate BARACK OBAMA,they are simply afraid of change.in order to make progress there must be some form of change.whether i,you,everyone accept it,there will be change in washington come January 2009.

so please people,we the world,the small islandsers,the third world need amaerica to take its place as head again,not to buly the world,but to set a straight course that will bring prosperity to all.

An American in Canada..

Anger doesn't help you. Do you realize that you are driven by anger and emotion?

You do know Mrs Clinton is a democrate and Mr McCain is republican, right? If Clinton is the presidential nominee than you would crush and trash McCain then. Are you democrate, independent or republican? If you are independent then use wise judgement.

You can't stop the voice from the World as I believe, billions will support Mr Obama for the general election. I represent one of the countries in Asean who supports Mr Obama for President.

You should be proud of an American who is wanted by the people around the world who vote for peace and harmony.

America has the biggest gun now and for years to come that will remain, so with that said to realize peace in this world, the President should be one who both sides feel like they could get a fair deal from. For instance, if Isreal is going into talks with Palestine and Arafat was the abirtrator, then Isreal may feel they can't get fair deal. But if you have an Obama who Isreal and the Muslisms (like Harmas) feels comfortable with, then, in my opinion, there is a much better chance of a deal that can bring final peace in the middle east. So in other words, Obama can offer the same deal as Arafat but because it came from Obama, someone well respected by both parties, then both parties may be more receptive.

John McCain is older then my great grandmother and she can bearly see over the steering wheel when she is ALLOWED which is the keyword to drive a car.. Its scares the crap outta me knowing that a guy almost a century or two short of 100 years old is trying to run the county..

Wasn't Charleston Heston (bless his soul) the same age as McCain..

I've voted Republican in the past, but just on his age factor alone i'm gonna go for the sure shot and crossover to Barack Obama this November.. Last thing we need is someone that suffers from alzhimers or demintcha and doesn't know what, who or where he is...

Lieber-me continues to support the Neoconservatives of the Republican party. When he ran against Ned Lamont he kept saying he was concerned about the war and all the men and women dying, and would try to chance the direction and bring the troops home. As soon as he was reelected he again kissed up to Bush and the neoconservatives. Putting it mildly...speaking for the State of Connecticut., both Republicans and Democrats...we are ashamed we voted for him, and if a recall process was available to remove him from office...he'd be out.

You added NOTHING to the Gore ticket and that's one on the reasons why he lost in 2000 and then you didn't have a home so you became and independent and apparently now even the indepedents don't want you so now you seem to be a Republican.

At very least we already know who John McBush VP will be. Liberman could not help ALGORE, he can't save McBush. Liberman is another tired politician who follows the old way of thinking. If it is one think we don not need is a Jewish VP making plans for the greater Middle East, that will most certainly cause a Saudi Arabia, Iran and all other Middle East Nations including Venezuela to stop pumping oil or to reduce capacity and increase price here in the US. McBUSH-LIEBERMAN is the change we seek, VOTE THEM OUT OF DC!
Liberman just like Hillary is not a DEMOCRAT they are Republicans in Democrats clothing!

The reason why sen Lieberman thinks it's going to be a tough campaign with Obama because the media is afraid to criticize him, anyone who dare to do so will be called "RACIST".

Don't worry Sen Lieberman , Obama is not going to win period, the Hillary supporters like me will not vote for him, the Jewish will not vote for him, he is not going to win Florida and Michigan don't forget all the states that Hillary won.

Lieberman and the Republicans appear to have listening problems with the rest of the world. It's OK to carry a big stick, but the U.S. Administration's failure to listen in the last 8 years has cost us dearly. We seem one-sided, self-righteous and arrogant to the rest of the world. Of course you don't have to agree with your enemies, but you would be foolish to put your fingers in your ears and pretend that by doing so you are going to accomplish anything worthwhile.

People speak of inexperience but the best example of that is the guy sitting in 1600 Pennsylvania Ave. right now... who had the "experience" of being governor of Texas. But even in this case, I think Obama has a little more intelligence than that guy. And I don't understand why Lieberman just doesn't switch his party affiliation to Republican. I mean he's pretty much alienated himself out of the Democratic Party.

Obama wants change– that can be a bad thing- like bad change. Black people don't really care about experience- their goal is just to get a black man in there and to hell with running the country right. Obama don't even know enough about the presidency to know what change he is talking about. And his wife will make a witch for first lady.

Quoted by Concern Democrats "Those democrats that feel the need to support McCain or not vote to express their anger/hate/revenge are only hurting themselves. If Obama lose, he'll go back to the senate and he'll be alright. However, will you be OK with a failing economy, a continue war in Iraq, health care unresolved, conservative justices, etc…"

Lets not forget White Water or Travel Gate. Then there is the 50 million dollars of our tax money to investigate Monica Lewinsky. She is in a civil fraud case right now for taking illegal money in her 2000 Senate race from a convicted criminal. She promised to give summer tax breaks when she knew she couldn't do it. Oh yes and if you are sending her any money you can be sure she is paying herself back first. The Clinton's don't care about us they left the oval office and became millionaires now they want to go back in and become billionaires on our blood sweat and tears.

Liberman is perfectly ready to complain about Obama's remark about McCain being of his bearings ( a navigational metaphor meaning off the course he said he was going to follow ), yet willing to push the Hamas and Achmedinejad remarks as though they were somehow not meant to be demeaning. As far as I am concerned if the Iranian President gets an ego boost by meeting with Obama, I could care less, and Hamas may want Obama because they see he just may possibly be able to bring peace to the mideast where all the posturers with their big talk and threats have only managed to bring the mideast to the brink of all out war. How many people does McCain intend to kill in the name of his bruised national pride. It is about time we had world leaders who didn't think and behave like kindergardeners.

But I will continue to pray for Barack and for this country - because I truly do believe that he is the change that we as a country needs. Sometimes you just have to get rid of what you KNOW is not working and try a different route.
