CNN

I think she should become an independent and run as the demictatic party has betrayed her.
She should do nothing to help Obama.
I also noticed that CNN keeps asking polling questions. Saying please go to www whatever cnnn and vote.
It is always a lobsidded vote as young people and the well educated are very internet savy.
So when you ask a question
Who Hillary of Obama is more trustworthy
Obama will win every time hands down due to the people who are on these bloggs are more likely to be Obama supporters.

I saw that CNN asked about the bush comment in Isreal and it was 80% said he was wrong to say whet he said about Obama to 20% who said it was true.
The reason for such a one sided reply is 80% who are on this site support Obama

All of you Dems who say you will now vote republican... what is this to you, some sort of game. you are just deciding what team you want to be on. We aren't talking about a little league game, we are talking about the shape and direction of our country. In the last election you were pro-choice, anti-war, etc. and now suddenly you want to country to be anti-abortion and pro-war? Or are you so shallow and spiteful that you would injure your country to make some point? that is the opposite of a patriot. You should do what is best for your country, not destroy it to punish the DNC.

just a little note for the news people,,
i will not be voteing for obama if he wins..
and i have talked with people that support Mrs.Clinton and they have stated they will vote republican before they give there vote to Obama.
and i plan on doing the same

I vote no to Barack – bush jr.

I vote no to McCain – Brother Bush

I am voting HILLARY – smart choice

LOL JANE L. HAHAHA I LOVE YOUR COMMENT.

Blaising, not every single thing she says should be taken as a sucking up for a VP spot. If that were the case, pretty much everyone who hopped on Obama's bandwagon should be considered as sucking up.

Voting for the Iraq war is done. Get over it. People can't take back their past mistakes, but they can prevent making future mistakes.

I would vote for an Obama/Clinton ticket, maybe even Obama/Edwards. Other than that, no deal.

Barack Supporter May 16th, 2008 7:50 am ET

Obama, Clinton 08′

Please....this will not happen.

It's easy to tell who the "Operation Chaos" bloggers are... they're the ones who can't spell or punctuate correctly.

Remember, though, if you're threatening to vote for McCain because your candidate didn't get the nomination:
1. 100 years in Iraq
2. Bomb Iran
3. A Supreme Court that looks a lot more like Roberts and Alito, and a lot less like one that will defend your personal freedoms

So, if you'd like your children to spend their lives fighting for oil and having their phones wiretapped as a matter of course, by all means, switch parties and vote Republican in November. Good call!

Rich,

Dialogue never hurts. The democrats are not advocating negotiations with terrorists. Iran, Cuba, and Venezuela are sovereign countries with recognized leaders. We may not agree with the views and actions of these leaders, but it is childish to put out the message: "I don't like you, so I'm not even going to talk to you."

Yes, other administrations have used this policy of non-dialogue and look where it has led us. Do you know what the definition of insanity is? It is doing the same thing again and again and expecting different results. If no one has the guts to try a different approach, nothing will change.

Neocons are the modern Nazis.

THE AMERICANS WOULD NOT HAVE HAD TO GO TO WAR IF THE CLINTON'S HAD TAKEN CARE OF CERTAIN MATTERS IN THEIR PRESIDENTCY. BUSH JUST HAD 911 DROP IN HIS LAP BECAUSE OF MATTERS NOT TAKEN CARE BEOFRE HIS PRESIDENCY! NOW EVERY IS COMPLAINING. AND POINTING FINGERS BUT KNOW ONE WILL TAKE THE RESPONSIBLITY OF A LACK GOVERNMENT BEFORE BUSH'S TIME OF PRESIDENCY. WHAT WAS HE SUPPOSED TO DO SIT AND DO NOTHING AND LET A DICTATORS KILL INICIENT AMERICANS AND PEOPLE AROUND THE WORLD.
WHAT KIND OF PEOPLE WOULD WE BE IF WE LET INOCIENT PEOPLE SUFFER.

Jan from Boca Raton FL – Should'nt be so bitter. Seems as though you let these personal attacks between the candiates effect you more than it effect Hillary and Obama. I will bet anything the two of them and their family after the election will enjoy a nice time out on the town.

Point – McCain is another BUSH TERM. Do you really want that just becuase you did'nt get your way.

A little childish.

I hope you Dems who vote for McCain to spite Obama and the party
get drafted into McCains war that they are trying to start, lose your homes, jobs, pensions, medical insurance, and chance for education. That's what you deserve for being so self centered and immature.

At the beginning of the week the talk on the news was about how fractured the Democratic party was. Thanks to George W. Bush, that rift has healed somewhat. His short-sighted swipe at "appeasers" in his address to Israel's Parliament has done more to help the democrats than anything else.

I applause Hilliary Clinton for coming to the defense of the Democratic Party, especially for Barack Obama. I believe that President Bush, has no room to talk, so to speak. Experience is the best teacher, however, our own President has failed to use any experience, it has all been "fly by the seat of the pants." It is easier to continue to put fear in the American people by telling us that we must "destroy" the enemy. Fear is the element of the enemy, and God does not give us spirit of fear, but one of love, and power, and a sound mind. If President Bush fears this enemy, he need only look deep within himself, and stop judging how the next President will handle what he himself couldn't

Hillary, thank you for being gracious. Stay and fight for yourself though, we need strength and experience beyond hope and change.
Hope and change are what we all want, but the will to make it happen against all the odds America faces need your fight!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

First, Bush is an idiot. Second, good for Hillary!

"Thou does protest too much". I think all the republicans had a mini conference and told each other to use that quote as often as you can...do you guys not have a mind of your own?

By the way, to the lady who says there is no women leadership in the Democratic Party...gee who is Kathleen Sebelius and Nancy Pelosi... turn off American Idol and read a book

You go girl !! - DEMOCRATS UNITE !!!

It is high time for Democrats to be united. One should be thankful to Clinton for her growth in understanding – Party's interest is more important than self interest. It would be great to see the politicians to learn to put the interest of the country beyond that of the party.

Hillary herself said that she carried the vote of the less educated. It becomes so apparent when you keep reading over and over comments like.... If Hillary doesn't get the nomination I'm not voting for Obama I'm voting for McCain. Could some of you please listen. Hillary and Obama are not that different in their views. They represent a party and believe in that party. That party above anything else is trying to bring about change in our , in your country. You sound like little children who are not getting your way instead of responsible adults who have been given a choice in bringing about change to this country. Hillary wants change so why would you let her down if she isn't our nominee for President? Do you really think that Hillary is going to vote for McCain. Get a grip on what is really at stake here people. You still have time to get educated on the real facts. This is important stuff and deserves to be addressed as such. It's Hillary, Obama and the Democratic Way. It's not Hillary alone.

Hillary is not the person that the media and Obama have tryed to make her look like.....Hillary has taken the punches from the media and from Obama and she still comes out looking like the winner she is....I don't think we would have seen the same come from Obama if it had been her on the other end..... Hillary is the only one that understands what the American people want......Obama has shown time and time again that he does not understand Obama was asked directly if he would negotiate with the leaders of countries that are labeled terrorist . His response was yes he would....Now he wants to say he didn't .....Haven't we heard all this before.....I did not....

Thats good of you Hillary! Lets unite the party

Now that is the first lady that I know and admire.

Hillary you are a true Patriot and has love for our country, but, the Iraq was necessary and appeasers a/k/a Progressive & Liberals can't run this country or America will find it self exactly where Bush said it would be.

Obama Foreign Policy is clearly stated in his web site that he would talk to America's enemies and appeased them to change their evil ways.

To all American how fast you've forgotten 9-11 and how fast have you forgotten Saddam Hussein and evil dictator who was a sworn enemy of America.

Oregon & Kentucky vote for Hillary -please!

President Bush's comments were right on the money!! He said that "Some seem to believe that we should negotiate with terrorists and radicals, as if some ingenious argument will persuade them they have been wrong all along."

Hasn't Obama specifically suggested face-to-face negotiations with iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad? And isn't he a "terrorist and radical" who threatens to wipe Isreal off of the face of the earth? If Iran is the world's leading supporter of terrorism, doesn't that make their president Ahmadinejada terrorist also?

I'm glad to see the democrats pulling together. King Georges' comments and McCaines' response, again highlight the reasons why the Democrats will be successful. The Republicans continue with the policy of "Cowboy diplomacy ". The Republican party can only hold on to power through their continued use of "Fear and Smear". Well guess what? We the public are done with those who beleive the only way to deal with problems is to "shoot first ask questions later". I am tired of emails that try to smear Obama by showing pictures of him dressed as a terrorist in front of the White House, or supposed letters that misconstrue facts about his religous upbringing or fake documentaries about how he is a racist. Enough!!! Evidently the Republicans are so poorly educated and scared they can't stick to the facts or think of any other solutions. I'm not even a fan of Obama. I am sick of the crap that has been put out there. And Presidant Bush Shame on you for using the Hitler card. You have smeared all the good that that generation did and lessen all the hard battles they fought. My father fought in WWII, my niece and nephew's Aunts and Uncles died in the concentration camps.You sir, are no gentleman. Oh, but we have know that for years!!!

Didn't Jesus eat dinner and have discussions with Tax Collectors, Romans, theives, criminals, and Harlots? Looks like Dubya can still learn something from the Bible!!

This just shows how Obama doesn't have his own voice. Hillary not only came to the defense of the democratic party but also to the defense of Obama. She truly is a person who firmly believes in what her party stands for and is definitely the one to bring about change in this country.

Fred,Elisabeth,David and chris, ,off all clinton surpporters you 4 dont have a work at hand,, and i just beleive you are being paid to sit down here and post bad, hateful comments that depict the lowest level of IQ from you,,even when the topic is not coherent with what you are writing ,,,, things like i will never vote for him,,i hate him,, mark this day,,,when Obama becomes the President,,and things change for good,, rosy time arise, i guess you all have to leave America for another country because you have been too hateful ,for you to enjoyed the dividend and for him to rule on you,,,
And to hillary this is just medicine after death,,,,defending Obama right now doesnt make a difference,, i just think she has come to realize that all her tactics, kitchen sinks, derogatory words, and accusative words keep propelling Obama higher,,and to more success, and before she gets her career totally sink she needs make amendments thats what shes trying to do,,, but im sure her intentions are not that really good from her heart,,,,,let the clinton fans keep undoing themselves, and not Obama,,, even hillary would vote for Obama,,,in the fall, so who is doing who any evil,, but you that go for MacCain,,

Fortunately for the American people it is not just our candidate Obama who will promote an intelligent approach to foreign policy. Many respected and experienced leaders, military officers, diplomats and leaders of other countries also support discourse with strength.

The fissure between Nations, people of different races and religions that Bush has created and then fostered has killed, maimed or destroyed as much as what Hitler did in my opinion.

I hear a cry baby in the room, it must be the Democrats again!

Obama is on record saying he would have voted in favor of the war had he been a US senator at the time. Obama has voted in favor of every war spending measure since taking office. Yet he says he's been against the war from the get go. Guess that's okay, though, becuase his lemming supporters will buy anything he says. Meanwhile they'll try to lay the blame for anything that goes wrong on Clinton.
Wake up and smell the coffee, folks.

It's about time!

CNN has yet to publish any of my comments. I guess if they don't agree, then there is no publishing. They don't call you the Clinton News Network for nothing!!!!!!!!

This administration has had the worst foreign policy ever yet some of you agree with him!!! Nothing this administration has done has been good for us. John McCain should not even enter Bush's name and Obama should mention McCain with Bush every chance he gets. Where will four more years of these same policies leave us?

If this would have been a negative post Obama supporters would have been all over Clinton. If she does something positive towards Obama, not a word. I can't believe the womens groups are putting up with the Anti-female coalition Obama is building before he becomes president. The only voice that will matter is Michelle Obama's anti American voice. Wake up America !

I wonder if she really means what she say in trying to defend Obama. hmmmm.

Hillary, thanks for finally defending "The Party" and showing unity in the Party . Please continue by throwing your support behind Obama for Presidency!

Obama for President! 2008

Nice to see some solidarity for a change!! Thanks for saying something that actually makes sense for a change Hilary!

Elisabeth – Barack hasn't even said anything regarding this issue yet. I think he knows he doesn't have to because 90% of the media reporting shares his stance. Bush's comments are like water off the duck's back. Your comments are like everyone calling Obama a complainer at the last debate when he really never complained about anything....he just argued that the issues weren't being discussed!

bp- You're obviously one of those voters who is making up your mind based on the fact that Hillary is a woman. You're no better than people who chose to vote based on race. People need to look at the issues and the leaders' ability to unite people towards common goals...not base their opinions on the color of their skin or the organ between their legs.

Why didnt Hillary ask to speak with John Edward, when she spoke to Elizabeth?

I'm curious....maybe John Edward is on the road campaigning for President Barack Obama!

Please Hillary supporters do you not understand her and Obama want the same for this country she even said it voting for McCain would be a very bad mistake please do not be so stupid you really want for more years of this Mcsame, You all amaze be with this kind of thinking . She will support Barack it is time for all Democrats to come together and take back this country !!!!! Well you all want McCain Stop crying in another year or two when we all are suffering

Like all of my comments(why do I even bother?) this will be moderated out, but the good people of Israel should realize that Bush policies have left Israel like the proverbial inmate with a large butt walking through the cell block with his pants down.

Hillary made a very effective statement and let's hope the negative emphasis of her campaign have shifted. If she would have made statements like this earlier instead of trying to bring down Obama, she probably would have won the primary. She would have brought out her strengths instead of her divisive nature. None of these candidates are without their weaknesses but they have amazing strengths as well. Let's all move towards building our country instead of tearing down each other and our leaders. From a 54 year old white female.

Here's the thing clinton supporters.If hilary is better why is she losing
lol if you question obama's policies go on his website barackobama.com and go on the issues tab then click on the issue you want to see.simple as that
obama '08

I don't think Bush or the Republicans likes the Jews. He's just trying to find a way to get Israel back to his Right wing Christian's extremists.

I don't understand why Israelis don't see this.

That 's a true sign of a leader - The GOP is using Michelle Obama's own words against her and the Obama campaign is crying foul. But it was okay to attack Hillary's husband, Bill. Double srandard??

hey BP... no women in charge in the DNC? what is Nancy Pelosi then?????? i'm sick of everyone saying this nomination was stolen from HRC. Back in november it was hers to lose! She was being hailed as the presumptive nominee. No one gave Obama a chance in H*ll!. She was the one who neglected the caucus states, claiming they don't really matter. Obama won 12 contests in a row! and NO this was not because of african american support as some people would lead you to believe. With just 14% of the democratic party being such, how can you win more states, more delegates and more popular vote with JUST that percentile? Let's get over this tough fought primary battle, include michigan and florida (funny how clinton didn't care about them until she was behind: ref her quote in October citing that michigan would not count) and unite as a party. we CAN do this and we WILL do this!

P.S. Obama has stated he would meet with the leadership of Iran in hopes of coming to an understanding with them, perfectly reasonable for two human beings to talk with one another. Hamas should not be grouped with Iran, one is a country while the other is an extremist group. We should be very careful about labeling "groups" together! Obama has said repeatedly he will NOT meet with members of Hamas period! I hope people like Rich are not the majority!!

Dems '08!!!

Neither Obama or Clinton are qualified or have enough experience to direct comments regarding foreign policy and state decisions regarding terrorist Nations. President Bush spoke generally regarding reasonable policy toward such Nations, never mentioning any specific names These comments from these two political aspirants.....shows their lack of qualification and experience and perhaps just their blatant ignorance, in how to deal in foreign policy and sanctions. These two candidates are so naive and self centered and lack adequate exposure to foreign policy and state affairs.......just like Carter. These people are not privy to all that transpires within the Government and between Nations. These people don't get a vote and they don't get to comment when President Bush is in a State Visit in Israel. Who did Carter think he was in visiting hostile governments who have proposed harm toward the United States? Obama, Clinton and Carter have no right to interfere with State Foreign Policy, nor to criticize in such a harmful hateful manner the actions and speech of President Bush. Thank goodness for Senator John McCain, a man with conviction, character, experience, integrity, leadership, and refinement and respect for others.

Mr. Bush – You know , your mother is watching you – you should be ashamed of yourself!

Hillary is a fake. She doesn't care about this country, the party or anybody else. I didn't hear her supporters whine when Bill, mayors and governors were standing up for her. When are you people going to get it, this race isn't about Hillary. Its about the party and the country.
She lost, get over it, grow up.

Whenever Bush runs out of talking points, he always makes wild stretches to compare things to Hitler or 9/11. By January 09, I could see him reduced to laying in a fetal position with his hands over his ears screaming "9/11!" over and over again, his last rebuttal. I count the days till our Idiot in Chief goes back to the golf course.

Barrack stated that he would talk to Terrorists States and terroists. What does he hope to accomplish? Does he set a threshold on who he talks to? Do you have to kill so many people first before you are noticed? I can't imagine he will talk to just anyone that has a complaint. Kind of gives validity to their actions? And a vast majority think that he is right for our country. Ugh..

Supporters Go and get Oregon for Hillary R. Clinton, everyone knows she would make the best president.

Everyone knows if Obama had been properly vetted he would not have made it this far and the delegates are STUCK!!!!

But guess what, the citizens of Kentucky and Oregon are not STUCK and your votes are the ones that will truly count as we approach the end game....

OREGON AND KENTUCKY VOTE WITH YOUR INTUITION, IT TELLS YOU WHO WILL BE THE SUBSTANTIAL PRESIDENT WITH SOLUTIONS AND WHO WILL BE READY ON DAY ONE!

H.R. CLINTON, PRESIDENT 2009-2012

AJ Edge: I prefer him because his tactics are inspiring. He hasn't employed a kitchen sink strategy or done things to try to divide the party. For the most part the constituents are driving their own wedge by taunting their grade school rants and swearing to take their football home if their demands aren't met.

Let the games begin. The Republican machine will shred Obama's image in every way possible and all he will do is whine and cry foul. Why can't Obama ever counter with a plan or even a semblance of a plan? Why does every TV ad run by his camp have to be in response to an opponent? This guy is a putz who will hand over the election in a year that should have been a Democrat landslide.

Let's hope for a Hillary miracle.

The Democrats on the blog should realize in most cases it is a Republican pretending to be a Democrat in order to try and divide us. Come on let's get it together.

Very interesting article on RCP regarding Hillary and the VP. It makes a very plausible argument that Clinton can win the VP in a vote at the convention. Obama will have no say in the matter. Interesting read.

Operation Chaos is in full force. Dems please beware of the Republican operatives who are stirring up trouble between Dem bloggers. At the point, true Dems should not engage in hateful talk with other Dems. When you read racist views towards Obama from supposedly Hillary supporters who are switching party to vote Mc Shame, please don't attack or feel resentment towards other Dems. That is a trick to divide the Democrat Party.

The difference between democrats and republicans in foreign policy is the democrats are for defeat. The republicans are for victory!!!!!!!

Good –

IT is time democrats come together before the party is torn apart. This whole Hillarism and Obamaism needs to stop. Please everyone come behind the nominee when it is time. The result could be horrible for us.

Go Hillary. This democratic primary season has brought many first time political supporters into the process on both sides. They care deeply about their candidates, and they are not used to the bruising that goes along with politics as a contact sport. For Hillary supporters, the likelihood of her defeat must be particularly upsetting and galling, but they MUST take their cue from the candidate herself. Her attack on George Bush's backhand slap to Obama was inspiring, especially after losing John Edwards' endorsement.

I do not ask Hillary supporters to stand behind Obama, should he win the nomination, for the good of the Democratic party, but for the good of the nation. This is something Hillary Clinton understands and has emphatically stated numerous times. The POLICY differences between these two candidates are almost ZERO, and the differences between them and McCain are astronomical. People NEED to get beyond the personalities and focus on what really matters.

she is now doin the right thing

You know I call my wife Sweetie and here in Australia many women call men and women Sweetie or Darlin' ....

How is this such a bad denigrating thing.

So to the thread:

Bush has the audacity to mention talking to the enemy when 19 of the 19 bombers of the WTC were from Saudi... think about it.

If they both support each other, they both have my vote. If Hillary is the nominee, I will vote for her. She took too long to wisen up. She forgot that it's entirely possible to run a clean campaign and still win, especially when you are running against a fellow democrat.

Some how and some way, the Obama supporters will find a way to bash Clinton for for her commemts. I have pretty much stopped reading the comments on the Political Ticket, as most of the CNN stories are slanted and the comments are nasty, demeaning and degrading.

As she should – all Democrats should unite together. When you mess with one of us you mess with all of us.

Bush is on his way out and his numbers can only get worse. He actually is helping the Democrats to see what the Republicans are up to. John McCain changes with the wind – a reporter said this morning that he once said that the U.S. should meet with Hamas. He needs to decide what he actually believes in. Things that make you go hmmmm.

.

You are just SAD .

Jan from Boca Raton FL: You're right, it won't stop the ignorant ones. But then again, we're only talking about the ignorant ones right? Just like the ignorant Clinton supporters who say they will run to McCain. Spite trumping policy? Nice.

You Obamanutz really are!

If someone offers you an olive branch and you slap it out of their hand, don't be surprised when that hand doesn't reach out to vote for you when you really need it.

Congratulations, you continue to offend Hillary supporters and don't seem to care that yu affecting our vote.

To Rich
The problem is not that Bush criticizing plan, it is the time and place he did it. You do not hang out your dirty laundry half way around the world. And using a historic anniversary to play politics is stupid. Mind you have to look where the comments are coming from. He could not even pronounce half of of the words in the speech (argoooment, tonks). Bush is by far the stupidest, most crooked and evil president America has ever had. He should be tried for crimes against humanity before the world court.

good for HRC, she understands that dems need to unite to defeat mccain and the GOP

i give it another week until she back out graciously and then starts to campaign for obama...she is a good person and a good candidate

remember obama and clinton have very similar positions on the issues...

dems 08

The arrogance of the Obama supporters never ceases to amaze me. Hillary has been working hard for the democratic party since Obama was in grade school. Start showing a little appreciation and respect all you Obama supporters.

Senator Clinton, dont worry about that boy, Obama, we are going to write in your name. I will never vote for the idiot. Also, dont worry about the good old boys club, and their chavunist attirudes to women. They are also idiots. I know this wont get posted, but who cares. We know who will win. Go Hillary!

Oooh...ouch! She is so clever and insightful with her words. Love it. And I love that her and Obama are becoming friendly. God, I hope they run on the same ticket!!!

Elizabeth, darling, you posted twice so its obvious you don't realize that it's "decent" not "descent". "Descent" means to come down upon. Your rage is interfering with your spelling skills. If Hillary knows that Bush is out of order, why can't you? You don't insult your fellow American citizens, no matter how much you despise him, on foreign soil. A sitting President should know this, but we are talking about Bush.

Obama has been clear about his foreign policy. The problem is that a lot of people don't take the time to research his policies because they are dead set on hating him. Get a grip, people.

doing what is "politically right" huh Hil? Now that you can't win you seem to all of a sudden be opposed to what Bush says-even though for a whole year you thought Obama was looney for wanting to sit down with our enemies.

Same ol Washington politics.

Obama '08

Alright Hillary!!!! Her coming to his defense shows a much more better side of her.

Rich:
P1) Yes, that's true.
P2) What? How does that even relate?
P3) The quote is actually "The lady doth protest too much" so no need to quote an improper excerpt but with your stream-of-consciousness-but-lack-of-cohesion argument leads me to believe you neither know nor care.

bp – the last time I checked Nancy Pelosi was a Democrat and a woman in charge as Speaker. Better check your facts a little bitter are you !

Are you voting for a candidate or a gender, shameful.

Its funny that Hillary would decide to defend Obama on this stance now, especially since she has blasted him on it during the entire primary season.

Yesterday, Obama secured the support of 4 superdelegates (Reps. Henry Wexler, Jim McDermott and Howard Berman and Larry Cohen (CWA DNC)), 1 pledged delegate in North Carolina (because of updated vote tallies in the state) and 7 pledged delegates that had previously supported John Edwards. That means that the number for Obama to secure a majority of pledged delegates has gone down from 25 to 17. And the number Obama needs to secure the nomination is 121.5.

Obama '08

United we stand, divided we fall!

Obama for President!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This was a very important move on Senator Clinton's part– more important in this upcoming race is the cohesiveness of the Democratic party behind its chosen candidate. I must say I was appalled to hear the polls re the number of Clinton and Obama supporters who would rather vote for McCain than the Dem. nominee.

I say good job Hillary, standing up for your fellow party member against The Idiot, and if I can't vote for you for President I'll move my vote to Barack Obama.

Thank you for the good words, Hillary. Now, good bye.

Thank you Sen. Clinton, dems unite and make this country what it should be

Any reasonable person that's read or heard comments understands that they weren't directed at Obama, but were instead a statement of proven, long standing policy that's stood that test of time through both democratic and republican administrations for nearly a half century, and that furthermore, they were being delivered in front of a sympathetic audience – the Kinneset. There is an old saying though – if you throw a rock into a pen of pigs, the one that squeals is the one that got hit. Obama's reaction to this is nothing less than childish and demonstrative of his lack of experience in this area.

I am sure Obama supporters will come up with some way to say something bad about her, they just cant seem to help themseleves. I bet Elizabeth was a little upset with her husband, but thats okay, let Edwards be the vp, I hope hillary gets senate majority leader.

The majority of these Dems are so out of touch – this is what NoBama himself implied. This wacky bunch of fools are far worse than the isolationists of the 30's. Human conflict is inevitable, war will never be obsolete. Pull your heads out of your disillusioned rears. Too much pot and too much academia with no real world practical insight! God help us.

Democrats need to be united to win agaisnt the Republicans in November!!! Dream ticket is the way to go!!!

Jane L.

LOL... I was thinking the SAME THING

Baby Obama needs Hillary

If he doesn't pick her as VP. then this clintonista will vote mccain

As an African-American woman, this is the reason I admire Hillary Clinton. In spite of all the nasty and vicious attacks that she has endured over the years, she is always professional, gracious, diplomatic and a Democratic loyalist. I know some people would not agree, but I have never heard Hillary or Bill state (unlike others) that they "might" not support the Democratic nominee. It is really dispressing to me because she is obviously the most qualified candidate in this race, but will not win because of the "hatred" for Bill Clinton. When I read the blogs, most people that support Obama is voting for him because they "do not like" Hillary (or Bill) It is just so personal and I am saddened at the tone of the comments that people are posting on these blogs. Democrats do not deserve to win in November !!!!!!!!! I cannot even watch MSNBC or CNN anymore because all the commentators did not even try to hide their dislike for Hillary and Bill. MSNBC is especially bad (Mica on Morning Joe, Chris Matthews, K. Olberman, David Shuster). If anything negative is said about Obama, each one of them will quickly point out something negative about Hillary and just dwell on it. It is sometimes comical to watch them. I have lost all respect for Chris Matthews. He is just in LOVE with Obama and his attacks on Hillary (and Bill) are usually personal. This is my last time posting on this blog because after this I am turning off this election completely. Good Luck Democrats.

To Rich -

BP- Are we voting for gender,race, religion or the better canidate?

Clinton and all democrats should denounce statements made by the president. The idea that should always be open to discussion with these leaders that are not for a democracy. The USA can not go into other countries and say their customs are wrong because they don't have a Starbucks. Look at the Iraq war, other countries view us are terrorist and they pulled their aid and troops out months ago but we push ahead with out troops, and money beacsue we want Iraq to have a chance at the American dream that isn't being offered in AMerica lets wake up and unite. Take care of home and push peace aboard not war.

Hillary should win this nomination! She deserves the job!

Well Clinton has no choice, looks like Obama is the one.

Where are all the Hillary slamming comments? The Obamaites must have slept in.

We need the support of uneducated people. We need them to Vote for McCain AGAINGST their interests. I invest in energy stocks I need gas prices to go UP!!! I can't have a democrat in office! The only way is if these Uneducated Hillary supporters vote for McCain in the fall and help me out!

MCCain all the way in 08 !
Me all the way to the bank in 08!

It is apparent that Hillary has seen the light and coming around to the inevitable.

Obama 08

I am definitely feeling an Obama / Clinton ticket in 08... definitely.

It is good to see Mrs. Clinton beginning to be positive vis a vis OBAMA, albeit indirectly. Unfortunately, her negative tactics have so damaged her credibility that she will need to be a lot more positively consistent to prove
"Change we can believe in"

As an Obama supporter, I would like to apologize for the comments of "Obama Supporter" on the article about Edwards' superdelegate switching. I am not sure if it really an Obama supporter writing that hateful message or if it is an Op Chaos person in disguise, but either way, that comment posted over and over again was not warranted, and I wonder why CNN would allow it to post not once but multiple times unless CNN is trying to continue to stir the pot, and split the party on racial lines. P.S.- I am an African-American woman,and I don't appreciate racial comments from any group.

Clearly, addressing the Knesset, Bush was talking about Carter's recent folly. But Obama has also made it clear that his strategy is one of appeasement, as was that of those who opposed the war in the first place. Meanwhile, Iran's proxies are trying to take over Lebanon. Does anyone really think talking to people bent on the destruction of any nation that doesn't share it's religion will get them anywhere?

When will you people realize that Bush is not the enemy?

Wow, that is a change. She is covering for someone other than herself. Did they find an empty pod on her bus?

This is a defining moment in our country's history. I hope to see Hillary handle her loss to Obama in a dignified manner. Hillary is intelligent, and her tenacity as a politician in this campaign speaks volumes about the many desirable traits of her character. She is a true role model in this respect to many young girls and women who desperately need positive role models in this day and age.

Unfortunately there were times that her character defects, many of which are enhanced under such pressure, also spoke volumes about the other side of her personality and the old ways of the political process.

Obama ran a much better campaign and tried to stick to his message of hope and change as best as possible, though he too at times had to wrestle in the mud with the Clinton campaign.

It is time for the democrats to move forward to the general election against McCain, and then to the White House.

Bush appeases the Saudis all the time, and they run one of the most repressive regimes in the world!

Stand Up!!... For what you believe in. Stand for something or you will fall for anything.. 'Let us not be weary in doing good; for at the proper time, we will reap a harvest if we do not give up. Therefore, as we have opportunity, let us do good...' Galatians 6:9-10

Senator Clinton would talk with Iranian President AFTER preconditions are met....like discontinuing to make nuclear warhead material...for example.

The tide has changed

The Democrats won't need to come together, Bushco will take care of that. Keep making pronouncements, Mr. President, the Republican's hole isn't quite deep enough yet.

Who started to give ammunition to McUnsane and the Republican Party? May be the ones saying I would do anything to get to the White House

Elizabeth Edwards has not endorsed Obama – his health care plan is clearly lacking (does not cover everyone) and one hopes Mrs. Edwards will come out for Hillary.

Its nice to get a string of civility and restraint from Hillary. This is the HRC we've been wanting to see all along. At least she's showing signs of actually caring about the party now.

We love you Hillary: its time to unite with Obama as one big happy democratic family. Obama 08!

THANK YOU VERY MUCH SEN. CLINTON!!!!!!!!!!
I would love to see Obama nominate YOU to the Supreme Court or I think YOU would be a GREAT Majority Leader in the Senate!!!!
Obama/Hagel ( I want Chuck Hagel to be VP)

I'm glad all democrats are rallying against Bush for his absurd and outrageous comments

Bush always does such a good job of making himself look stupid. His appeasement statement was a great job of how delusional he is. Can't wait until the Worst President Ever is Gone, Daddy, Gone!

*****
In a particularly sharp blast from halfway around the world, President Bush suggested Thursday that Sen. Barack Obama and other Democrats are in favor of "appeasement" of terrorists in the same way U.S. leaders appeased Nazis in the run-up to World War II.
*****

Even I have to agree, Pres. Bush is has gone overboard this time. To accuse senators of appeasing terrorist can only be categorized as blasphemy.

His depression has started to erode his memory. Otherwise how can he forget that the same members of congress stood wiith him in approving US defense forces into Iraq and are still continue to approve huge budgets for US defense forces stationed in Iraq.

They say, "The enemy of my enemy is my friend." When anyone chooses to reach out to our enemies, he or she should be sure not to sell-out our friends.

A good negotioator must have a thorough knowledge of the situation inside the country ruled by our "enemy."

well its about time. if she would have ran her campaign as a Democrat, then i might have supported her. she lost me with the Republican tactics.

Good for Hillary, this is what she needs to do to solidify her place in the democratic race. Turn from dirty crooked Clinton, to strong Obama democrat supporter. As much as I dislike her, I think she gets a chance to be on the ticket, "IF" she quits damaging the DNC.

THIS is GREAT....maybe if the candidates start being FRIENDLY with each other so will their supporters :D:D...

Clinton also made an ethical move when she said its a terrible thing to pick Obama over McCain in the GE (to her supporters of course).....Lets just hope that gets to her supporters' minds and make them do the right thing!!!!

OBAMA 08 / 12

Yes!!! Thank you HRC! Get on board now and become the VP of this great nation. Lets make history!!!! This is the unstoppable ticket.

Obama/Clinton 08

I feel like Clinton's definitely calmed down, a lot less aggressive on Obama and more focused on her campaign. Its nice to see, and makes me think a lot more positive of her.

if she had started this sort politics from the beginning, she may have won, and there would never have been such divide in the party.

Obama 08

I'm an Avid OBAMA supporter, and lately Hillary;s voice has been nails on a chalkboard for me, but its so refreshing to finally hear her make sense! We can like you again Hillary, just take it easy!

OBAMA 08 !!!!!!!!!!! Obama/Clinton

IF THE SHOE FITS WEAR IT

Of course we need to talk to Iran. What are we supposed to do go to war with everyone? Do we honestly think that we can kill all of the Terrorist? There will always be another one to take their place.

Northern Ireland did not get resolved by military force. Both sides had to come to the table and put things aside.

Bush can't leave fast enough.

Keith McCarthy
Republican for Obama

Wow. Looks like Hillary chose to stand behind the Party versus taking her usual dig at Obama to make herself look like the better candidate. Maybe she really means it when she says she'll work her heart out for the Democratic nominee.

This is a good sign.

Finally, Hillary is doing something right. We have to come to peaceful solutions to prevent war. We have tried everything else under the Republicans. I hope Hillary will now go out and campaign for Obama.

Thank you for taking a stand, Hillary. Every American who values factual discourse should have been offended by Bush's remarks. After 7 years of Bush, the American people are finally demanding there be substance behind this sort of empty rhetoric.

Let's continue to have difficult discussions. Say no to Bush-style pandering to fear.

Obama '08.

Hillary is his only choice for VP. Time to UNITE the party Obama. Do the right thing!

She knows it's time for the Clinton Farewell Tour to end.

What the....??? I heard that speech. Bush did not even utter the word "democrat", much less mention any names! Are the dems so desperate for public sound bytes and free press time that they resort to completely distorting what really happened (not that they do anyway ...). OR ... did President Bush hit a nerve, even unintentionally? We all know that Barack Obama has stated that he would talk to the Iranian President, no strings attached. Hmmm...someone is a bit nervous. Oh, and lets not forget Madame Speaker of the House and other Democrats who have met with Hamas leaders – yes, those wonderful people brought to you by the Terrorist Camp.

Right on Hillary.

WOW.

As an Obama supporter, I just want to say that Clinton is a great woman, a great human being, a great politician, and a strong fighter for the progressive movement that seeks to engage our enemies in diplomacy before engaging them with firepower. Thank you, Senator. Now let's unite as Democrats to defeat the McCain-Bush hypocrisy. Because, after all, it was McCain in 2006 who proposed meeting with Hamas, the very same thing he's chiding Obama over. For a party whose symbol is the elephant, Republicans sure seem to think we have short memories.

Thanks, Senator!

Kudos to Hillary, get use to it, because Obama will be the nominee and you have to keep your word to work your heart out for him.
***********************
Bush needs to be ashamed of himself going to another country and putting down is own country.....he didn't like when the dixie chicks did the same thing to him and they paid dearly for it
***********************
Cant wait for November, it's over for the bush and republican years, for at least 8 more years...

Obama/Nagel 2008/2012

The best way for Hillary to secure her future in the Party is to place her, and plead with Bill, to place themselves at Mr. Obama's disposal to campaign for him in those small town, or rural, or blue collar, or non-four -year+ degree constiuencies that they claim.

She and Bill have, in this kitchen sink strategy, weighed Mr. Obama down with undo ballast. They need to fix that.

Hillary you are a strong women just what this country needs.
You have my vote.

Could this be the start of her public support of Obama.

Obama has no sense at all on forgein policy!!
Obama will be an appeaser!!

Go Hillary!!

If not Hillary...then McCain!!

Let’s see if I understand this. In 2007 during one of the debates Obama was asked directly if he would negotiate with the leaders of countries that are labeled terrorist states. His response was yes he would. Obama even went on to criticize Bush for his failure to open a dialogue with these leaders.

Well Obama may be the Democratic nominate for President and appearing strong on national defense is essential to winning the white house. Now the democrats are protesting that Bush is slamming Obama.

“Thou does protest too much”. What is the democrats’ policy – open a dialogue with terrorists leaders; or do what many past administrations have done – not negotiate with known terrorist. The American People need a clear answer before the election.

Soon to be ExPresident Bush is an idiot and should we expect anything other than idiocy from him? The answer is no and here's a middle finger to all of you ideological idiots that "elected" him to a second term...

Go thump your bible and see if it brings down the price of gas

Obama needs all the help he can get like the support he got from Edwards just to prop him up where he is weak!

Hillary doesn't need to have people jump in all the time and pull her head out of the water!

Wake up superdelegates!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thank you Hillary for standing up for Barack Obama our canidate for President, all Democrats can come together to draw contrasts between the evil politics of Geore Bush and ourselves. All Democrats realise that The GOP's fail policies of the last eight years have lead to this countries downward spiral. We know that all democrats can rally around you and Barack to save our country from John McCain and his Bush like policies. Obama and maybe Clinton 08, I never thought I would say that by the way. It might not be so bad though having Hillary for Vice President. Mc Same would ruin our country even further. Barack and Hillary I know could roll over the GOP easily.??? I know its crazy but I think it is true.Obama president Hillary VP, Edwards AG and Richardson Sec of State, That would probably be the greatest administration in history. We could probably undo 12 years of Bush and eight years of Reagan in four years.

This is the first good comment that I have to say about Hillary but it is nice to know that she is still a democrate and stands strong against bush and mccain. i think all of us Obama supporters should give her a round of cheers she deserves it for this one. And we should not bash her becuase I think she will be more gracious in her comments. thanks Hillary. some times we forget that you can ROCK.

BARACK THE VOTE!!!
DEMS IN 08

Sincere thanks, Hillary. I hope we get to see more of this unification in the months to come.

That's right BLUES!!! We must unite. How dare that idiot compare Democrats to Nazi appeasers!!!

We must vote BLUE in November!!! Vote DEMOCRAT!

Nice to see something they can agree upon.

YAY! We are all playing nice-nice, again. Hey, Clintonistas and Obamacans; lets hug!!!!

C'mon people now,
Smile on your brother
Ev'rybody get together
Try and love one another right now

I wish both sides culd have run campaigns like this the whole time.

JUST THE RIGHT THING TO DO. CONGRATS!

There is video of McCain from 2006 saying we have to work with Hamas. I hope CNN finds this and plays it. I saw it on the Huffington Post. So the best defense against John McCain and Bush is John McCain. We shall see who the media is for. If they suppress the video, then we know.

Clinton backs Obama. Preview of things to come. we should all follow suit and UNITE!!! This is NOT the divided states of America, but the United States of America!!

Obama/Edwards '08

Good Job Hillary!!

Hillary Clinton is the one who really fights for the 47 million american without health care. She is a brilliant hard working woman who has devoted her life to making this country a better place. Hillary 08'

Hillary is one to talk about Bush....as much as people dislike and blame him for our problems the man does have a valid point!!The white house is no place for a pacifist. Radical extremists are not going to sit down with us, have a cup of coffee and make a peace agreement. At least with George Bush as commander in chief we know what we are getting, and thats a safe nation after september eleventh.

Obama/Hillary 08. Let us unite the party as democrat and take the white house from them republicans that are destroying our image worldwide and our economy. Shame on president Bush and he would be the last one to talk about that.
John McCain is a third term for George W Bush.

Very Honourable! It's a great sign for the Dems that she is willing to stand up for him. More of the same please.

*thump* <--sound of jaw dropping to the floor.....

I'm speechless.......

Yes, of course Mrs. Clinton defends Senator Obama. What Bush said was outrageous! How can he possibly compare President Obama's engagement in dialogue with those who would make threats with appeasement to the Nazi's? That was a speech - crafted and deliberate - in the true fear tactics of the Republican party. "We should never negotiate out of fear, but we should never fear to negotiate." I just hate the Republican's approach to the world: tough guys, "bring 'em on." I can't wait until we have a President that will bring the respect back from the world which we have lost under this administration.

Granted Obama is not an appeaser, but his decision to sit down with leaders of countries without pre-conditions (as he clearly stated in his debates) is totally unacceptable.

On the Edwards decision: Sad to hear he chose Obama. But shocked that someone who fought for universal health care would throw it all away. And how is Obama going to enforce the mandate that all children have health care?

bush opened a can of worms with this one. do you know how many people have compared bush's reign to a fascist society?

I doubt seriously that President Bush was singling out Mr. Obama individually.

In fact, it is far more likely that his comments were aimed squarely at former President Carter for his recent visit w/ Hamas.

And he would certainly have target his comments towards various liberal policy groups who disagree with current U.S. policy regarding terrorist organizations, and nation-states who directly,or discreetly, provide those terrorists organizations: money, weapons, training, and safe harbor.

I think she finally has come to realize that she is not going to be the next President of the United States and that it is time to support the Democratic candidate.....Barack Obama. I hope she campaigns for Obama, but I do not think she should be his running mate. That would be a disaster.

Democrats are essentially a bi-product of eastern germany. When the Russian's raped Germany(post world war 2), modern day democrats were born. Plan and simple.

If democrats are nazi appeasers then republicans are the nazis

Finally she says something positive.... It's time we democrats come together...

Obama just got endorsed by Max Kennedy, son of Robert Kennedy and Dule Hill ...They are on the campaign trail with him!!!...

Max made a point. *Where will you be "15 years "from now, and your kids ask you. What was you doing when Obama became president? Did you make a difference? Did you stand up for change?

Stop being immature. Why vote for someone you have no faith in, just to prove a point. A point ignited by lies and corruption. Obama is a good man. We all have flaws. He's Just REAL...and says things not typical of a politician. Some of us just need to learn how to accept reality and not let the "media" Tarnish our future president, and shatter the hopes of millions of Americans.

YES WE CAN 08

Hillary always stands up for Obama. Obama, on the other hand, slams her whenever he can!

sometimes i really think Hillary will make a good running mate for Obama. McCain will ve no chance against Obama, Hillary n Edwards. Fellow democrates lets get together!! 08 should be our year. Send McCain n Bush to early political retirement

Go Obama
Go Hillary
Go Edwards

Bill get out of the picture.... pls dont spoil the card!!! There enough Monikas out there 4 u!!

obama -clinton ticket, the war has just began GOP

Obama won't give her a VP spot.

She can try to play nice if she wants...it won't get her anywhere.

Remember...she voted FOR the Iraq war.

She made her bed...now she has to sleep in it.

yes hillary, UNIFY the party...this is what i expect from my senator.....make us proud.........get em HILL

This still won't stop those ignorant Obama supporters to stop
bashing Clinton. Somehow they will try to blame Hillary for
Bush's remarks. I'm sure happy face Cafferty will say Hillary is
lying again.

HILLARY OR MCCAIN 08

NO OBAMA

...has Hillary taken a slightly more humble tone ever since the information came out yesterday regarding...

...HILLARY'S NEW CHARTER PLANE WITH LEATHER SEATS AND A WET BAR???

Thanks to everyone that contributed their hard-earned money...you'd think she'd be watching her spending a bit more at this point.

I'm not a Hillary fan, but God bless her for so eloquently voicing a rebuttal to the worst president in American history.

Just show you even more that Bush was a HUGE mistake!

I love Elizabeth Edwards and I'm still very sad that her sell-out husband endorsed Obama. Why can't these superdelegates and others just SHUT UP and let the people vote.

I am a Clinton supporter and if she is not on the ticket come November I honestly don't know what I'm going to do. I have issues with Obama, I don't WANT to vote for McCain, but I have issues with Obama. His experience is my biggest concern because he continues to show his lack of experience over and over again. I wish that Obama supporters would say why they support him some much over Clinton and not just put stupid comments like "WAY TO GO" or "GO OBAMA".

They (the media) keep saying that the math won't go her way at all.

Lost and Sad Clinton Supporter in North Carolina
=(

Interesting story ..

McCain, an Arizona senator, inserted $14.3 million in a 2003 defense bill to buy land around Luke Air Force Base in Glendale, Arizona, in a provision sought by SunCor Development, the largest of 50 landowners near the base, the newspaper reported on its Web site Thursday, citing public records.

Thank you Hillary. Let's have our party work together to get back into the White House. Bush's remarks are consistent with his strategy of striking fear in the hearts of Americans - now he's doing it worldwide! Have we had enough yet?

She has to denfend the Dems as she is one. But her policy makes more sense as not being such an appeaser like Obama's policy.
There are some people who wants the wolrd, those tyrants just can't be appeased.

You are right Hillary.

We have come to expect Bush to put both feet in his mouth as soon as he speaks in public. Amazing agility the man has....

Good show, Hillary. Glad to see you beginning to show some party loyalty and dignity.

Democrats Unite in November!

Nancy Pelosi and Jimmy Carter have already visited and discussed
issues with oppositions, I have yet to see any benefits, if anything, things got worse after Carter's discussion with the Hamas. I believe with all due respect them both, that perhaps they should apologize to the American people for undermining our President and his administration, how would they like it if their party does indeed come into power and the republicans did this to them. Do you really think Israel thought either of them were helping the cause? NOT!

GO HILLARY!!!

This talk of dropping out is getting ridiculous. They are making her base stronger by putting her up against this old boys group. Letting everyone vote is the democratic way.

Also, Everyone loves an upset story for the team down.

GO HILLARY!!!!!

NEVER GIVE UP!!

I certainly hope her supporters woiuld have more say in whethe she quits or not than any elitest democrats like Kerry, Kennedy, or Edwards. Let´s hope for something different in 08 and she is it.

Bush and the 59 million people that voted for him hate America

Hillary supporters should look carefully at Bush's statement and McCain's support of it as well as McCain's stated goal of refusing to engage with China and Russia. This world is much too dangerous to refuse to engage those we disagree with...especially those who have or may soon have nuclear weapons.

The fact is that Bush's policy of refusing to engage with our enemies is in direct philosophical descent from the views of pre-WW II isolationists like Senator Borah who he quoted. It may be worth noting that one of Borah's key allies was none other then George W. Bush's grandfather, Prescott Bush.

Our egotistic cowboy with poopy in his mouth president, Bush was way out of line and Hillary shows her character in speaking out against Bush. I am ashamed of our president Bush, who repeatedly shows his leadership inability. Bush represents the USA people and such a representative we should not have in office. Bush is his own worse enemy and needs to calm is ego.

Good Job, Hillary!! The Democratic Party needs for you to be a positive team player...

DRoc

Too bad Bush never attacked Obama, but hey CNN isn't here to report facts. They are here to spew liberal propoganda.

Bush's statement in Kanesset aimed at Obama is an insult to Jewish community and Holocust victims! By using such a sensitive historic event for pandering, smearing, and false political attack, shows how low George W. Bush is as person. One could even observe him blink/winking at someone in the public when he was being applauded, which is a clear indication of the insult and perhaps he thinks that Isrealies are going to buy into his "emperor's latest fashion" that shows how naked and empty he really is. He had over 6 years of his Presidency without doing anything substantial to help bring about peace in the middle east, between Israel and Palestine, but at the last hour of his presidency, and failures in Iraq, anomg many other blunders, he thinks he can manipulate his way to a peace agreement, to serve as his legacy.
"Anyone who knows not that he knows not is a compound fool and dangerous!"
Thank you McCain for showing Americans that you are no different from Bush, by agreeing with his statements!

She better start making ammends if she even want to be considered for the VP spot or even a prominent cabinet position...maybe national security since she is soooo strong and experienced!!

Obama '08

As she should – all Democrats should ban together. When you mess with one of us you mess with all of us. Thanks Senator Clinton.

Bush is on his way out and his numbers can only get worse. He may actually be trying to help the Democrats because he knows that they can get in there and clean up the catastrophe that he is leaving. John McCain changes with the wind – you have to really wonder about him. He seems to only know war.

What is really curious is that G W Bush's grandfather, Prescott Bush had dealings with people that were in the Nazi Party in Germany. Do a Google search on Prescott Bush and the Nazi's and you can read all about it. So for him to bring this subject of the Nazi's in WW2, that his family supported and helped bring to power, is pretty bizarre.

Her admonishment of Bush is probably the first honest statement she has made during this entire campaign. BTW – how come the person who considers herself more electable is actually losing (HIllary)? If you are more electable aren't you supposed to be winning (Obama)?

President Bush just keeps thinking he is important, when he is not anymore.
He should just take up golf or something.

Mr President, SHAME ON YOU. You were not addressing one of the 50 STATE HOUSES in the USA. You were in a foreign land addressing a foreign people in their seat of government. Israel is not the 51 STATE.

Further, Mr President, were your Sec of State and Sec of Defense trying to appease the Iranian leaders when they suggested we, the USA government needed to develop some type of verbal discussion with them?

The CNN home page actually states: "Ticker: Clinton defends Obama from Bush" but changes to "Clinton seems to defend Obama after apparent Bush swipe" when you open it.....a bit misleading to public.

Way to Go Hillary!!! Lying Republicans.

I'd prefer Obama/Clinton 08 but I'd settle for Hillary/Obama 08 Because we must defeat McCain

Maybe we can finally unite as a democratic party. She has realize the unstoppable Obama!!

She was defending the democratic party. She does not need to defend Obama "He made his own bed now he has to sleep in it "

We all know the effect of Bush/Republican idealology on position of America in the world...

Some genius in history said that "insanity is the behavior of doing the same thing over and over again... and expecting a different result"...

And the funny thing is that all our success in stopping the proliferation of nuclear arms has come from negotiating with "THE BAD GUYS"!

It seems that when we "shut our eyes and hold our breath" or "bomb, bomb, bomb", we actually make the world a more dangerous place than if we decide to be "diplomatic".

Why can't we all just get along?... Because the rich guys have us to busy fighting over crumbs.

I think this should go a long ways,showing that democrats are and will unite regardless of Hillary and Obamas differences.I hope that both of thier supporters take note.We can not allow McBush back in the whitehouse.

Not bad after all

Yes,
I think Hillary is finally seeing that is not about she and Bill, but the entire country is at stake, not just about the many colors of her.

Go Hillary! Come on board the train. We want you on our side.

Obama 08

Bush continues to prove that he has failed to learn the lessons of his own presidency. Just as attacking Iraq as an outsider united the Middle-East against the United States, attacking Obama has united the Democrats against the Republicans. He's a strategic illiterate. Thank you Senator Clinton for demonstrating grace and principle.

Democrats...can you feel it!!! Dont let the undercover repubicans on these blogs fool you! We dont hate each other!! A house divided cannot stand! The republicans are cunning! They meddled with Mi & Fl...they injected Rev. Wright and Operation Chaos....ask yourself.....why? The time is now...the Great Elephant is wounded...lets go in for the kill!!!

DEMORCRATS '08!!!

good-Hillary is starting to show up! great, we've had enough of bad-Hillary!

go Hillary!
Obama 08

Who wouldn't be offended by President Bush's statement? It was unexcusable. I think President Bush should apologize to America and Israel. I would even go so far as to call for his impeachment from office.

Bush was not even talking about Obama, why would he be offended, maybe because Obama is naïve and inexperienced. Obama said he would meet with Iran without conditions, going to offer them carrots. Sounds like an appeaser to me.

Talk like an appeaser.
Walk like an appeaser.
Guess Obama is an APPEASER.

Notice all the far left of the party came running to defend their little naïve candidate.
Sad to see that many in the party trying to defend Obama when they know he is wrong.

Hillary and Barack's method of dealing with our enemies employs the tried-and-true Rodney King Policy of negotiation: "Can't we all just get along?" Reagan brought down the Soviet Union through a show of strength. If you elect these wimps, you are helping our enemies, and should be ashamed. God, please help our country.

John Edwards announcement that he is supporting BO is just another example of one loser backing another. In John Edwards pitiful try at the presidency a couple of time just speaks of his eneptness.

LOSER! LOSER! LOSERS!

Opps-I meant to say she "wasn't defending Obama, she was defending the Democratic party".

I never thought I would agree with you on anything! but you have a point.....

OBAMA 08

"Clinton seems to defend Obama after apparent Bush swipe".....she was defending Obama, she was defending the Democratic party.

Oh now she is getting into it. Why does she not stay quite until she drops out. If she is so fired up, endorse Obama and leave the race.

What a hypocrite Bush is. I'm holding in my hand a photo of Donald Rumsfeld shaking hands with Saddam Hussein. Colin Powell himself said, during his four years with Bush, that we must talk to Hamas and Hezbollah. And let's not forget that Prescott Bush, Dubya's grandfather sold arms to Hitler prior to WWII, and in fact as a senator voted against entering the war. Kick this hypocrite and his party to the curb America!

Thanks, Hillary. She is at her best when she's speaking out against Bush the repubs. Much better than the Hillary that attacks and divides her own party.

I believe Clinton should both denounce and reject the Bush statements.
His statements are an appeasement to failed a failed peace process.
Clintons policies would be the same, no different, the same.

The truth must really hurt for Hillary to come out and defend BO. Bush hit the nail on the head with this one. He put the peg in the hole. BO is an appeaser, a communist and a socialist who will sell this country down the river. Thank go HE WILL NOT WIN THE PRESIDENCY!!!!!!

hang in there hillary, obama is weak on foriegn policy.he himself said he would meet with enemies without preconditions. obama's inexpeereince is becoming clearer. the country doesn't need a community organizer to lead them, we need an experienced, and proven leader like hillary!

AND this is how Republicans try to get you!
I hope everyone is smarter than this.

What is so laughable to me is that our current foreign policies and the horrible failed Iraq War under Bush – have left us out in the cold to most of the rest of the world. So who's got our back when there is a war? crickets…..crickets…..

What do you honestly think John McCain will do? He has the same policies as Bush, it doesn't make our country SAFER! It makes more and more countries pull away from us as allies.

Let's fight terror, finish the job and capture Osama Bin Laden, and strengthen our Homeland Security. But, let's ALSO try to work with other countries to make this a more peacful world. DUH!

Cnn, What's with this title? I believe Obama can defend himself! Too many conservative republicans are on your staff.

Face it -even the President in his wrongness was counting Senator Cinton out of the Presidency contest. His staff has done the math for him.
The reason President Bush said this over there because over here he is ignored. The poor man's big event was his demonstrating how was going to walk his daughter down the aisle.

The real question isn't whether Bush has the right to say what he did after his many foreign policy failures. The real issue is that saying something like that makes Bush sound like an uneducated idiot who doesn't know the meaning of the word appeasement, and doesn't know his history. The big mistake in 1939 wasn't negotiating with Hitler. It was giving him half of Czecholovakia. It's not negotiating with your enemies that becomes the problem, it's making concessions that you shouldn't. Bush has cultivated a foreign policy where he sees negotiation as a weakness, and that's why we are in the mess we are in today. Bush obviously doesn't know the meaning of the word appeasement. Come on George! If you are going to live in America, at least learn the language.

As usual, this was a much stronger message from Senator Clinton about what President Bush said abroad. This shows her firm stance on foreign policy and I believe that she is the better candidate to run for President and hopefully be our eventual nominee. Senator Obama does not have much experience in this category (nor anything else for that matter). He needs to step back and let Senator Clinton do what she does best. She NEEDS to be our next President. She is more qualified to run against John McCain. Enough said. GO HILLARY 08!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Democrat united!

These two (Clinton / Obama) are heading toward a joint ticket. Edwards' incredibly nice....actually, complimentary words about her makes sense. You shouldn't bad mouth your future VP candidate. Nor should the VP bad mouth her Presidential candidate. This ticket is all but locked in.

You expect comments like this from a "C" student and he struggled to get those comments out like everything else he does. You expect this from his administration. Can anyone name one accomplishment they have done in the last 7.5 years except for the capture of Saddam. Let's see.

War–that is a lie
Unemployment is up
Inflation is up
Gas prices are way too high
Food prices are up
Financial markets are horrible
Houses being foreclosed everyday

Well I guess they feel like they have done great things..........GOP stands for "God Awful Party"....

I'm glad to see the Demo's pull together somewhat on this issue.

Obama is weak on foreign policy, but is weaker on domestic economy. v VOTE HILLARY OR MCCAIN 2008. . I don't think Obama would make a good president.

This latest Bush-ism is just another in a long list of disappointments in his administration. It is one thing that he even made those comments in the first place. It is quite another for his underlings to try to deny his real meaning.
The "appeasement" comments don't even apply to Iraq. If they did, some country would be attacking the United States as we speak in order to defend Iraq's freedom and liberty. After all, we just went ahead and attacked Iraq with no provocation. Not unlike what the Nazis did to Poland in 1939.
Interesting hypocracy in all of this.

George Bush gradfather had funded the NAZI's

do some research

Way to spin it CNN. She did not defend Obama, but just point out the distasteful comment by an incumbent president during an election campaign.

The Democratic party has completely driven me away. The powers that be are so obsessed with getting back the white house they'll put Hitler there if he was a member of the democratic party with a chance to win. Obama has no chance of reaching the 2100 plus delegates needed to win, which is the official count needed. Hillary has an extremely good chance to overcome him in the popular vote, especially when she wins Kentucky, and all but 2 of the remaining states by sweeping victories. Obama knows this and has threw a plethora of lawyers to block any chance of a revote in 2 states, which last time I checked, are part of this country and have just as much a right to make their voice heard as the majority of you elitist hypocrites.

Just like 2000, this election has been stolen from the better candidate and the entrenched establishment and you people are too blind to see it because that empty shell of a candidate throws words like "hope" and "change" at you.

I would rejoin the democratic party if they re-vote in Florida and Michigan, and then see where the numbers fall. Till then I'll be supporting McCain as will I'm sure 50% of Hllary supports will be doing this November.

OBAMA 0'8!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The thing is, that the President's remarks are right on the money!!

How soon you Democrats forget.

If you look at the history of the past 4 years, the Democrats have belittled our troops, belittled our country and have been looking for ways to blame the President for everything while they look to appease and strengthen the enemy by giving them hope by demanding that our troops be pulled out immediately. If that is not appeasement, I don't know what is!! If you don't believe me, go to youtube and search for "troop bashing" and hear it from their own mouths

The Obama camp thought Hillary was touogh on their guy, well welcome to the big leagues boy, or should I say sweetie. Anybody but Obama 08

Of course Hillary will defend Barack on this. Neither wants our allies in Israel to know the truth: that a vote for either will lead to a failed policy of sitting down to tea with dictators that want to wipe Israel off the map. And, despite Bush not mentioning anyone by name, he was right to do what he did, when he did it. Remember the Dixie Chicks, you cry babies?

Senator Clinton is a strong, gracious and intelligent woman. Let's just Obama doesn't respond by saying, "Thanks, sweetie."

Really ironic that the idiot in chief would draw this type of comparison.

Especially since his grandfather Prescott Bush helped finance
the Nazi war machine via the Herriman Bank.

Fortunately for Dubya the folks who vote for him are not very
well read.

I am glad to see Sen. Clintons' statement regarding the Republican smear tactics. It appears she is finally working towards a cohesive Democratic party and unite to make sure the Republican war mongers do not get back into the White House.

It appears that the women in this message are the more astute.

This will become abundantly clear after we get 4 more years of poor leadership.

Women, wake up! The DNC has zero women in charge. This is a obviously a problem.

HILLARY 12

This is very encouraging, and should be considered a step in showing party unity.

Did Clinton not share Bush's position – just without the Nazi-Reference ?

Your comment is awaiting moderation.
Poor little Barack, the favorite child of the Main Stream Media cannot walk on his own legs yet. This man cannot even take a descent debate! What a disaster he will be if he becomes President. But I really doubt that is going to happen. Hillary Clinton is an extemely strong personality capable to walk forwards without crutches.
Excuse bad English!

Obama, Clinton 08'
