Comments on: Obama camp: Clinton not looking for a deal

Hey, this is one person we know thoroughly (and love dearly).

Is she a beggar? NO.
A whiner? NO.
Looking for a handout? Never.

STOP the negative attacks on her, will you?
**************************************************************************

She is not a beggar, she has 100 million dollars and has yet to pay her vendors from Iowa. That makes her a dearly beloved cheat?

She is not a whiner, she is a manipulator. She only whines when it serves her or cries or drops her g's or drinks shots or takes sniper fire.

But as for not looking for a hand out – get a grip! Her web page begins with a request for a handout. Ask her donor base in La and DC about begging for hand outs.

The truth is not a negative attack.

Ask her why she has not paid her long over due debts out of her own pocket?

As for 'caring' about all voters what part of la la land do you live in?

Does she care about latte drinking Volvo driving voters or educated whites?

I am a voter. She MOCKED my vote. I am unworthy of being counted unlike Mi or Fl voters where broken rules get you instant respect and increased importance. I didn't break any rules, I just went out and caucused for 8 hours on a Saturday, because I believed in my candidate so strongly.

I am the blue collar white worker she claims as her base – white, female, 55 and I earn under 55K. One little problem (besides being from a state with a vote only worthy of derision) I"m not uneducated. I don't need a Hillary to think for me and of course...

I am not taking sniper fire.

Mr. Obama himself, being a much more learned, intelligent and thoughtful person than Mrs. Clinton; less trigger-happy, and in my opinion a man of truth, decency and honesty, wanting and promising real change, could never even consider a candidate for VP with the 20 year long baggage of Little Rock, Washington, and 8 years of the Bill Clinton White House, that Hillary has.
Add to this the almost total lack of decency and integrity Clinton has shown throughout this campaign from the moment Obama began to win, not to mention the downright lies she has put out from time to time, and anyone who's not living on another planet can only conclude that Hillary Clinton would be the most unsuitable person imaginable to include in an Obama administration, in any function; and hopefully his very, very, last choice!

Obama will not have the required number of delegates when the primaries are over either, so stop making him the candidate already. Superdelegates should keep their mouths shut. They don't even count until the convention. Their "endorsements" now are meaningless.

I really like Hillary Clinton as a human being and that said, she needs to get a clue. It's time to unite the party she is now officially tied with Obama for superdelegates and she needs to give it up and put her support behind him. She is putting her future money in droves into her campaign and it is just too little too late for her to get back in this. Over the last week at least 30 more superdelegates have either walked away from her or come out of the woodwork and put their support behind Obama it is time for Clinton to say enough is enough and help Obama not fight against him. It is time to focus on McSame.

I am SO totally sick of all the mean nasty ignorant comments posted by some of the Obama supporters. Grow up people– act like an adult instead of a smart-alec dweeb. It is supporters like you that have caused me to decide I cannot support him come November.

Her goal is to DIVIDE and DESTROY the Democratic Party so they CAN'T win in November.... I have seen the REAL Clinton's in action, and it is very frustrating.

if someone can tell me of any president who came in with presidential experience because this is trial and error and they all had advisors and it is up to the president to take their advice or just do as he please as george bush jr. i do not think any other president future of past will make as many mistakes again. george bush runs this country for himself and his base the rich people. you think gas prices are so high just because, no way those two oilmen are retiring and they are making the money because they won't ever have to work again. bush and cheney are set for life.

Hillary may not be able to catch up to Obama with the state delegate's left, but I hope the superdelegates start seeing the truth: Obama cannot beat McCain.

I think if it was a Obama-Hillary ticket it may work, and they maybe able to beat McCain.

With the upcoming WV primary, she should win by a landslide. And I hate how Obama supporters keep saying it is because of racism and because whites wont vote for African Americans. Has any one thought that 80-90% of African Americans vote for Obama, isn't that racist too?

If she is not the nominee, I am sure she will win November election as independent

By: An Independent Voter

An Independent Voter — Sun, 11 May 2008 22:13:05 +0000

Her campaign is a joke. How many contest has she won? If you say that she has won all the big states, who has the most votes? The delegate lead? Who is the most electable, I think tha goes to the person in the lead, how else can you measure it?

The remaining contest are scheduled and will be held. That does not mean that she has to actively campaign in those states and keep spreading her vile (remember Fl and MI). She could sit at home and save some money or maybe go back to work as a Senator where she is still collecting a paycheck.

The reace is over more people wanted the other guy. It happens in every election... get over it and Move On.

Oh come on now! She wants that power so bad she can taste it. She will at least go after VP. She's not going to put her tail between her legs and go back to the Senate. Are you kidding. Dude her attitude speaks for itself. She is not going out like that...so hang on people, it's going to be a rough landing.

The campaign to elect Barack Obama as the 44th President of the United States is, and has always been, a movement by like minded individuals to move toward a better future for all of us. We've done what we could to not make this a negative campaign against other competitors in the contest. We have had to fight constantly against the lies and spin put forward by the main stream media. Thanks to the internet we have been able to get the truth out. So for those of you who are still relying on TV for your political education, please consider other sources. "Yes We Can" is not just a catch phrase. We are saying that it can be better. We, the people, can build a more perfect union and a more perfect world.

Hillary campaign was so mismanaged, one of many mistakes. Question to Hillary regarding her large base over Obama. If that was factual, wouldn't she be in the lead? Hillary has been playing catch up since Super Tuesday and has yet to catch up and can't. Nevertheless, she will return to being a Senator, retain the majority of her wealth (which is better than 99% of us). So that leaves us to vote for our best interest not out of spite. If you agree with Senator McSame that the economy did well under Bush then vote from McSame. If you need this war to end, universal healthcare, are concerned with food costs, fuel costs, college tuition, the old GI Bill. Then please don't cast a vote against yourself. Hillary will be fine she is a big girl (rich) and if you are in the military McSame is basically telling you to find your own heiress, he got his...

Obama should not use the money of contributors that are contributing to HIS campaign to pay off Clinton's debt. I'd be ticked if money I gave him for his campaign was used that way. Besides, he needs the money for the general election. Let Clinton dig herself out of her on mess.

Hillary will prevail, It would be nice if she and obama could run on the same ticket. A good democrate gesture! How awsome would that be for the first woman and first black man for the top two seats in the country. We need to take a look at this, both could combine there ideas and make this a better country.

I would certainly hope Hillary has no aspirations of hooking up with the Empty Suit candidate. She's a lot better off as a Senator. She's got more pride than to ask Obama for a handout. If I were her, I wouldn't even talk to the sucker, much less endorse him.

her dirty laundry list stretches from Arkansas to California and back to New York. If you want the truth about these monsters just ask Vince Foster.

she won't be VP under obama. after the mudslinging she did during the campaign, there is no way that obama would ask her to fill the spot. if she ran a civil, non-divisive campaign there would have been a chance. i hope that she sticks with her seat in the senate and does good things for our country there.

I am so glad that she is not looking for a deal. That is great. I am also wondering what kind of drugs they are taking over on the Clinton side!!! Wow, at first I thought they were delusional, then I thought they were psychotic because of her "Hard Working White Voter" comments, but now Howard's comments have convinced me that there is something really strange going on over there.

There is no way, no matter how big the tantrum, that the DNC is going to deny the winner based on the rules of the party, the nomination. There is no way the Superdelegates are going to give the nomination to someone other than the person who wins by the rules. They may have to wait till June 3rd to come out, but their constituents who support the winner (whom ever that is) would defect in droves. This is not a contest about who would be best able to beat the Republicans, it is a contest based upon who wins by the numbers. That is what 2000 was all about. GW Bush won by electoral votes, not the popular vote. The DNC has set 2025 as the number of delegates. What is so hard to understand about that????

I read that Hillary was full well expecting that her loans (with interest) be paid first out of any contributions she receives or money Obama may throw her way. Now that is like the Hillary I know...forget all about the small businesses you owe money to and pay yourself first (did I mention WITH INTEREST). Those small businesses won't get interest on the money owed them if they get paid at all.

I think this is the right time for Sen. Hillary to make a reasonable decision. Seeing things ahead is not failure but it is a sign of wisdom and respect for the party, for friends, and the will of the nation. There are enough evidences out there of what the outcome might be. It is really good thing to work out for the common good. We need this party to lead the nation and the world for the next 16 years. This is a must.

Thanks to Obama and his fanatical followers we will have another republican in office come November. At least Clinton had a shot. No one wants to offend the golden child or his minions so they're willing to throw the November win away. But then they can convince themselves of how progressive they are for nominating an African-American, even though they actually helped McCain. This probably makes sense to insane people.

Obama should sit tight and let the clock run out on June 3rd, as it will, and by that time Obama will have 10 to 20 more super delegats in his basket and Clinton will have no choice but to bough out. As for Clinton becoming Obama's running mate, it is out of the question, the two just dont match, although their polocies are similar. This is the year of the Democrats and McCain has no chance against Obama's eloquece and God given wisdom. Just wait and see when they have their first debate.

Wake up america obama cannot beat mccain. he has a lot of baggage. he has brain washed the american people.He is leading because in the beginning of the campaign the american people did'nt know him. If we had known about jeramiah Wright,Rizno,William Aires,and the involvement in a murder trial at his church he wouldn't be leading. Hillary Clinton is the best person to lead this country. This country is caught up into a black man becoming president. If he wins the primary I am changing over to a republican.

America needs a person with education and intelligence to get begin to fix all the stuff the Republicans have ruined over the last 7 years.

After Bill Clinton served 8 years as President, I think it's time for the Clintons to move on. Bill Clinton did a great job while in Office. What they need to realize it's time for a change. And we thank you for the memories for all you have done. Hillary can always run again.
Don't ruin your reputation by trying to force yourself back into the White House.
We are in a new era now, and it might means greater strength. You needed to hold off on the race cards. White People are White People and Black People are what they are. In other words we are one of the same. So in a sense you hurt Blacks and Whites. You must remember there are a lot of mixed races that also fall iin the Black category. They are among us all the time and you wouldn’t be able to tell if they are Black or White. We don’t need to be put down, and have tried to ignore a lot of touching things you and your husband have said.
Hillary it’s time to say goodbye and I wish you the best. I heard you say White People wouldn’t vote for Obama. Why not? That’s how Obama got as far as he has.

Clinton should continue, it's not as if Obama has the required number of delegates to be declared the winner and there are still states that have not had their primaries. Give everyone a chance to be heard. In addition, there are two critical states that the democrats are not even counting at this point.

If Obama gets the nomination he will not get our votes - we vote on experience, character, issues, and core values and we not uneducated and poor, just over 40!

I think Hillary would find it an insult to play VP second fiddle to Obama.....the guy who has absolutely no qualifications for the office of president to begin with. In fact, I find the thought of Obama in the presidency to be both pathetic and scary. I've supported Hillary but now I'm about ready to say.....Go McCain!

When you really think about it, Hillary is the empty suit.

Obama tells it like it is, whether it makes him lose vote or win votes. He is an honest and brilliant leader.

Sen. Clinton tells voters what they want to hear, flip flopping of necessary. She is fine tune political machine, but doesn't really stand for anything... i.e. an empty suit.
