THANK YOU KENTUCKY!!!!!!!!!

Either McBush is insane or he is truly dumb, maybe his age, senility and health are effecting his mind. Poor man!

Wow, McCain needs to move on to something else. I as well as millions of Americans believe in dialogue even with those that we do not agree with. Do you have a set of preconditions that must be met when settling disputes with co-workers, disrputive neighbors, your children, spouse, sibblings? You must talk to develope an understanding of both people, if talking does not work then you use those other leverages and tools that you have available. Lets start talking to those that we do not agree with first, and see what happens. Talking could easily keep the innocent from suffering because of our pig-headedness and bully mentality.

Bomb bomb bomb Cuba.

On Cuba – How can we continue to ignore a country that sits 90 miles off our coast? We don't like Castro? How about some of the other world leaders we deal with every day. In Cuba we have the opportunity to make some positive inroads in a Latin American country where our exports might be welcome and where, for a change, the people might welcome us!

I don't see how the double talk express can talk about being honest. McCain has flip-flopped on this issue and many others. How can one truly know where he stands? Obama has been consistent, responsible, and his good judgement will work well for America over the next 4-8 years.

Jeez...how long is this Cuba issue going to continue? It's been years!!! Longer than some of Obama's 'college-educated' supporters have been alive.

As much as the truth may hurt to some of you die-hards, Cuba is part of American culture.

I am willing to try something new. The old way, obviously, isn't working!!

Vote DEM!!

Shame on you for trying to smear this man’s name and record.
The man you call Mcshame spend six years in jail for this country.
The man you call Mcshame was tortured and refused to leave until every American solder left.
The man you call Mcshame has two sons in the war right now.
The man you call Mcshame has always voted on principal and NOT popularity.
The man you call McSame has voted against the current administration over and over.
The man you call McSame has a long record of not requesting any pork projects.
Senator John McCain never said he will have a presidential meeting with no precondition with Iran or Cuba.
Obama is the one who said in a debate that he is willing to meet with these people with no precondition, now he is spinning it.

Which one is flip-flop?

Why Cuba is an issue. Mccain is just pandering for the cuban votes.
Mccain/Bush 08

i,m sitting here watching the news nice run for the WHITE house by the way. now to the real deal, a member of a great family has now fallen i.ll to some things that we can,t control with that said, just to see his face makes me HAPPY VERY MUCH, I rember THE BROTHERS and what they stood for all those WONDERFUL YEARS....GOD BLESS THE KENNEDY FAMILY. I.M A BLACK MAN in L VIEW> TX. 55 years of age. GOD BLESS ALL.

Are any of the politicians actually honest about anything. All three of the candidates have lied about material and immaterial issues. The only way to rid ourselves of the stupidity in politics would be to overhaul the entire political system, constitution, and governmental structure and I'd hate to point it out but there are far too many politicians, political appointees, and others tied to the system that it would never happen.

Wow, funny how liberals always resort to name calling rather than arguing logically. Using ALL CAPS and names like "McBigot" and "McWhinie"......very educated group I see. I was going to make a point but you proved it without me having to say hardly a word! Thank you liberals for being so ridiculous!

At last! An American leader with the forsight to realize that Cuba is an independent nation that has survived in spite of the usa...and continues to display greter fortitude and character than many countries much larger.

Yes, there is much the USA and the world can learn from the Cubans..if they would only listen

CHA CHING! HILLARY WINS AGAIN!!!!!!!

NOT ONLY IS HE NOT BEING HONEST HE DOESN'T KNOW WHAT HE IS TALKING ABOUT!!!!!!!!!

DOES HE REALLY EXPECT US TO THINK THAT HE KNOWS MORE ABOUT THIS STUFF THAN HILLARY OR McCAIN?

FRAUD!

WHERE DID THIS GUY COME FROM?

KEEP ON KEEPIN ON HILLARY!!!!!!! WE SUPPORT YOU!!!!!!

Obama has always been a case of "he said, he said" because of his ambivalence. Once he makes a statement, watch out for his rehashed version of the same statement later. Pundits say that he's become a better debater as the primary season progressed; I'd agree to that and would add that he's best when he's debating with himself. Just go over the things he said about Rev. Wright, the "cling to guns and religion" issue, and now, about Cuba. The reason for this is very clear; he always wanted to be on the safe side of things. He talks to people about what sounds good to them. He preferred voting "present" instead of risking his political future. He claims he's a politician who's for change in Washington; yet, he's more of the same traditional politician who is condescending and patronizing, only better in hiding the tricks of the trade from getting exposed. His leadership style of relying more on words than actions will not get America back on her feet as the world's leader. Clinton or McCain would do a better job than him.

Have any of you Obama supporters ever tried reasoning with a rabid dog???? You just don't get it, do you?

How DARE this disingenuous old hypocrite call the most transparent politician in modern American history dishonest. After firing FIVE of his lobbyist cronies so he won't smell QUITE as foul. Once again, Senator McCain, for shame!

We keep hearing McCain say all the things that he thinks Obama is wrong on when it comes to Diplomacy... but what is McCain bringing to the table? What is he going to do different from Bush? Obviously the "status quo" is not working. Why? That's what I want to know. Why won't he tell us what he plans to do differently from Bush when it comes to foreign policy?

As a Cuban-American, I say talk to them. Stop being such a warmongering waste of god's protoplasm!

La gente hablando, se intienden.

Si se puede!

Again CNN wants to give credit to OBAMA saying that in an interview obama did no say that and said this which is all in favor of OBAMA!!!!!!!
CNN please quit all your politics!!!!!!!!!!

more mcbush lies.warmonger!

Hello People!!! Obama thinks he can sit down and have a normal conversation with HUGO CHAVEZ!!!! Who in their right mind can think that????!!!! Would the REAL Barack Obama, please stand up?

what is he honest on, he can't even tell the truth about how his father came to America. He had to make up some big story that included the Kennedy's. He slams the oil companies for their profits, but doesn't mention he voted to give them huge tax credits. He slams Clinton for wanting to give us a break on the price of gas, and doesn't mention he voted for the gas tax holiday in IL. He lied about Rezko, he lied about his church, he lied about the gun control survey he filled out. I would say, he has a problem with lying. Lying must be all part of the campaign of hope and change

McBush's answer to everything is bomb, bomb, bomb!

He's not being dishonest. There was a teleprompter malfunction.

We need to watch out for the McCain campaign smokescreen that tends to distort other peoples' comments and positions. If we look back at his own track record and statements it is sort of like "the pot calling the kettle black", pardon the pun. McCain has flip flopped on so many issues trying to reinvent himself as a more moderate candidate. He doesn't really know what he wants to say nor what stand he wants to take. How do you cover your own shortcomings, basically by calling your opponent a liar or other names to make you distrust their message. It is the McCain straight-talk propaganda (Bush/ Rove) machine that America really needs to watch out for. think about it, do we really want to fall for the same old lies again and again?

lets do some math here 2+2=4 and it will always equal four so means saying don't talk to people they will never change. 2+3=5. Five is something different because you changed something. Talking to iran may note change their ways, but its going to lay the pipe work for them to change.

Where have Bush's and McCain's thinking gotten us? Nowhere we want to be is the answer. We are weaker, we are poorer, and our list of enemies continues to grow. So why continue doing the same thing that has proven itself to be worthless. We all know we can destroy any country we want to, and every country knows that. Maybe if we didn't force our politics down peoples throats they wouldn't hate us so much. Nothing worse than war could happen if we tried to talk, so how are we any worse off?

looks like this man is planning to bomb any country who opposes his ideas. What a wonderful idea!

Democrat 08

We will be in Iraq for 100 years!!
Bomb, Bomb Iran!!
Cuba is a poor nation and it is not a threat to the U.S. Mccain is a war monger.
Some older Cubains love the fact that they can come here illegally and get to stay while other nation are sent back to where they come from. That the reason why the want to support the Bush/Mccain policy on Cuba.

McCain has a murky past. The moderator of website may be a young adult and has no idea what happened 40 years ago.

So, I insist republicans are working for GUN DEALERS and not for peace loving Americans.

McCain had a lousy past. If this guy, now ready to kick the bucket, cannot do anything for US citizens.

An idiot named Obama wants to sit with terrorists and dictators and talk over tea and cookies.

Sounds like a GREAT plan.

No experience in foreign policy -–> Obama

John maccain is a idiot. He's not that funny. plus he is so weak on domestic issues as well as civil rights issues that Dennis Kucinich could beat him in a debate and thats saying something.

Guess what GOP??? My dad still thinks you guys are gonna take the House. We were just going at it right now, LOL!!! You know, me hating on his boy McCain. My dad likes his chances..............don't worry, I just made fun of him right now because unfortunately, not all the voters might agree with Sen. McCain.........he didn't even wanna hear about it, LOL!!!

Since all the comments are closes everywhere else I will write this here.
I am sick and tired of listening to Hillary supporters saying that the media is babying Obama. The truth is, if Hillary was the front nominees, her supporters would have done and say about anything to make him drop out of the race a longgggggg time ago. Plus, the media wouldn’t have gave him attention what so ever. So please do me a favor ….for the sake of Democratic Party, stop the division and work together so we can have a democrat in the White House. We can’t afford to have another Bush in the office for the next four years again!

Democrat 08

Obama is a flipflopper? Check out "McCain's YouTube Problem Just Became a Nightmare" on Youtube, the man has more flip flops than a girl on The Hills. I'm not quite sure how Raul Castro is a "rogue leader" either...

That is all this obama does is talk crap. If you can't see that by now then no wonder you still worship him. Have you not noticed, that no matter what that dude says or does these people just agree? Do you people even have a mind or what? Or did obama get you all on drugs and cast his voodoo spell on you so that you will worship him even if it means you get killed, you will still follow, what a sicko cult you belong to, kindof like what went on in texas, you people think this man is a god you are soooooooo lost, sad. Your souls must be so miserable inside.

Once again Republican fear tactics are used to undermine new foreign policy approaches. McCain after all was caught reciting the song "Bomb, bomb, bomb-bomb Iran" when he thought his mike was off. Doesn't that tell you something about his leadership and judgement.? And now McCain spoksman says Obama is weak in judgement and leadership because he advocates new approaches in foreign policy. After all Nixon oper doors to China the same country that provided military support to our enemy- North Vietnam.

I am a republican and Obama is a lier. By the way, when Obama lies, nobody calls it a hypocrite but he is definitely a lier and no Clinton supporter should vote for this guy in the fall. Hey Obamabots, I am not going to hide the fact that I am republican. You don't even have to guess. I will tell you Clinton supporters that you need to get away from your sexist party and join us republicans in electing John McCain as our next president of the United States of America. Your candidate was treated like crap.

Yeah Mccian is a racist liar .... Not another four more years of BushMccian

NO MORE STUPIED PEOPLE IN OFFICE SO MCCIAN IS OUT

Hillary in 08-President in 09! As my second grade teacher taught us word for word, one of the Great writings of Patriot Thomas Paine titled "The Crisis" December 1776, it does state: These are the times that try mens souls: The Summer Soldier and sunshine patriot will, in this crisis, will shrink from the service of his country, but he that stands in Now, deserves the love and thanks of man and woman. Tyranny, like hell, is not conquered easily; yet we have this consolation with us, that the harder the conflict the more glorious the triumph-Thomas Paine December 1776. Our country is in a crisis today, and all we have as a free people, hangs in the balance. It is our hope that these old but inspiring words will harden Hillary Clinton, as in a way, the battles of Trenton & Princeton lay before her. Hillary is no quitter and we stand with her through thick and thin or third party which respects the Rights of Women, as this is a gender war, not a political contest.

I like when McCain shakes his left arm up and down when he talks. He looks like a nutcracker.

Lift the embargo already. It is a failed policy. Bush's Iraq policy has failed for 7 years. US Cuba policy has failed for 50 years.

Why are we so scared of trade with Cuba and so scared of allowing Americans to travel there?

Cuba is a fabulous vacation destination full of wonderful, kind people. Mark Twain said it best: "Travel is fatal to prejudice and biggotry." I've got no problems with Cuba, only the small minded Americans who think that somehow we're doing ourselves and the world a favor by isolating them. Our "embargo and isolate them" mentality only breeds more hatred of us and our big fat biggoted piggishly consumer dominated ways.

I would much rather take the Obama approach to foriegn affairs then the Bush/McCain lunacy.

Warmongering vs. Diplomacy....hmmmmm....I think I'll take the guy with enough courage to talk to anyone.

The only good thing about Mccain is that his wife is hot

Oh Sen. McCain, let's not EVEN go there about whose not being truthful here. YOU sir have been lying about your whole "straight talk" nonsense only to be found out as nothing but the FARSE!!

Sen. McCain you have NOT even begun to feel the WRATH of Sen. Obama.... but have no fear because you are about to get your ARSE whoooped like never before.

Get ready for the ultimate punishment!!! Maybe your wife Cindy can give you some of the drugs she was hooked on to help ease your pain come November!!

I'll admit that I have no idea if Obama backs lifting the blockade........If he does, then I like him even more than I did before. Seriously, our Cuba policy is downright childish........Even though I have no yearning to take a Cuban vacation, our own government will not let us go there, so much for freedom. Hypocrites.

Mr. Obama’s naiveté is frightening and dangerous.

Seriously... is this what McCain has got to prove his strength in national security? The old ways dont cut it. Neither do the old folks. McCain your colleagues are retired and are on pension... That could be a wise thing for you

Mccain is the flip flopper, he probably doesn't remember what day it is.

"Barack Obama’s commitment to unconditional summit meetings with rogue leaders like Raul Castro shows weak judgment, and his failure to be honest about it demonstrates weak leadership, both of which threaten to make America and the world less safe,”

Less safe? McCain and Bush have made the world less safe with this Iraq war. The one that was started based on lies to the American publid. That one. McCain is pendering to the Cuban American, make no mistake about it.

John McCain was a respectable candidate back in 2000 when he was running against Bush in the primaries. Then he lost.

Now, he's changed his view on a whole range of topics so that he can emulate Bush's winning formulas to get the Republican nomination. Unfortunately for him, no one wants another Bush in the general election.

If it weren't for this travesty being caused by Hillary's people and the splitting of the Democratic party, he would have easily lost to Obama or Hillary in the general. Now, I'm not so sure.

No one wantsto hear you BS Sen. McCain. Why don't you have the balls to stand up and say what you really are – A WARMONGERING REPUBLICAN!!!

One of my most biblical principal of the bible is that if you have something against someone, talk with them first. If they will not hear you, take two or three witnesses, talk to them again. If they still don't listen, then treat them differently. Somehow America has gotten away from talking with their adversaries, which translates into arrogance. No wonder why our foreign policies are in the shape that they are. I believe that one of the ways of making a safer America, is by talking, and by not trying to force democracy down other nations throats.

That's McCain trying to apply the same talking points to all of our enemies. Unless you can prove it, don't try to put words in peoples mouth. Makes you look foolish.

McCain has a ANGER problem......Smart voters will NOT trust this NUT!
Obama/Hagel

I hope people see the truth before it is too late. Obama lies and denies policy making decisions and statements that he has had when there is overwhelming proof. He is very dangerous. He gets furious when confronted, He is an tornado waiting to happen. He thinks he is too royal to be confronted with his mistakes. Lord help us. Senator Clinton, please dont go away.

Do these people realize that they are on camera saying these things?

No offense GOP but with about 10% of the vote in, why is your party voting otherwise if Sen. McCain is the nominee??? Well, it looks like your base are happy with it but it looks like some people are not......now that's interesting.

I live in Arkansas, I have known about the shady Clintons for over 25 years.

I can't believe that Hillary supporters will vote for someone (McCain) that even Hillary herself agrees would be 4 more years of Bush.

Time for a changing of the guard! Vote Obama!

Nothing like hyperbole/politics of fear to distract people from the real issue at hand.

McCain, you have nothing... might as well pack it up old lady!

What is Cuba a BIIIIIIGGGGGGGGGG threat to us also? Gosh America is mighty paranoid, we have more enemies it seems these days than friends. We need to get out and socialize more. YIKES!!!!!! Who cares???? Is it going to put food on my table? Money in my pocket???? I thought NOT!!!!!

Cowboy we can never do wrong because we are American politics. YOU CAN"T HAVE TRUE PEACE WITHOUT TALKING

Who will listen those GOP pinheads anyway. They should be ashamed of themselves. They are so stupid they can't even realise when a strategy is not being successfull. We, the U.S, have been adopting the same policy toward Cuba for the past 50 years.
Can one of those GOP idiots please stand up and tell me what part of this strategy has been successfull. It may have been successfull for some cubains because ,of this senseless policy, they get to come here illegally and stay to fullfill the American dream while all the other nations in the caribbean and south america such as the Haitians, the Dominican have to be expulsed back. I believe we should engage the Cubain people and their government to move Cuba to a democratic and successfull nation.
Please give me a break.

What don't these folks get? Obama said that he would do the necessary groundwork PRIOR to meeting with various leaders in foriegn countries, though he would not impose arbitrary and capricious preconditions PRIOR to such meetings and that, notwithstanding that position, he would not simply "immediately" normalize relations in say, Cuba, without more...

SPIN DOCS...get the records straight before you go forth!

Pandering to cuban exiles no doubt.A large voting block of blood thirsty rightwing nuts.McCain the bully will probably promise to take Cuba back since they have no nukes.

Hey McCain,

It's 9:00.

Time for your warm milk and bed time story.

Good night.

What is it with the USA and Cuba? When are you guys gonna grow up? For Pete's sake, your founding fathers must be turning over in their graves!

Why always start with McCain's stance? CNN doesn't do any background check on what they write; merely repeating the words of candidates does little to educate voters which is what your role is.

You are becoming a lazy, rumor driven source. Your hosts are also becoming more rude and egotistical.

Mccain is a Liar I am Tired of these Republicans and There Lies it will not work this time around we have had enough!!!!!!

Once we have new leadership great things will begin to happen. Close minded people are the reason we have so many wars and distrust.

Let us just let the world that all man regardless of race can mean fences and united countries...

Senator Obama, unlike MCBush with "Cowboy War Talk" lead to distrust and wars.........

Who honestly even cares about Cuba? I don't dislike Cuba, and I would like to see the US open up relations with them. We can't force "democracy" on everyone.

Obama is not being honest in anything. He is a very scary person and I can't believe the Obamabots who actually believe any words that he utters from his mouth. He is not trusted nor worthy of the presidency. HILLARY CLINTON FOR PRESIDENT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Beating the dead horse is not going to make you look any wiser. Give up this fight that you are already losing.

SURPRISE!!!!!!

MCSHAME WOULD NOR RECOGNIZE THE TRUTH,

IF IT LANDED ON HIS SORRY DISHONEST WOBBLY HEAD.

McSame – We DON'T Believe you!

Thanks!

Get em McCain!! Obama is an idiot who would not know how to run this country. I will be voting for you McCain in the fall. To you Obama supporters, the WH is not an internship. Clinton supporters will join us republicans in voting for John McCain. Get over it Obamabots!!

I am watching CNN and looking at the map of Kentucky and they are showing Obama in dark blue with all the counties. If you look at the map on here and it is just the opposite!! Biased I think totally!!

I like McCain's idea. Lets just send our children, husbands, and mothers to fight in a war just because someone is living their lives differently than us. I am so sick of the republicans and their pride. We are in so much trouble here in America. Our threats are so numberous and so large, it is difficult to defend our nation. Why? Why do people hate America? Who would love a country that glorifies a group of women running about the streets of New York sleeping with everyone. Who wouldn't love a country where even children shows have women with huge amounts of cleavage. I am not hate spreader, but I think America's fall is going to be from within. No one wants our sick culture to spread to theirs. They are willing to do whatever it takes to keep that from happening. What we need to change about America, is our morals.

I still don't understand how opening lines of communication is considered cowardly or reckless. No... diplomacy is reckless... lets just drop bombs on whoever we're having a problem with... and expect the citizens of those countries to be grateful to us and the world to cheer us on.

This whole lack of commitment to work out differences is the reason why the rest of the world has been looking down at us for the last 8 years.

obama will lose in nov!!!!! no obama no drama

McCain is right. I don't know why Obama claims that McCain is distorting Obama's views on meeting with enemies. Does Obama not realize we can easily watch the youtube video of Obama's answer to the question about meeting our enemies? Perhaps Obama feels that he can say anything he wants and the pro-Obama media will back him up.

WOW This is the BEST that the GOP has to throw at Obama. Repeating the same tired line? Man after what the GOP has done tto this country I would think " Judgment " woud be WAYYYYY out of bounds of ways to attack ANYONE!

zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

We interrupt this snooze fest for some real news......back to the Democratic race.

And how does this statement belong to the ticker?

Let's bomb Cuba too, right McCain?

McCain stick to the issues and facts. YOU HAVE BEEN FLIP FLOPPING!!! Stop projecting what Obama may or may not do.

Note to McCain... go away!!!

And oh yeah...

Shame on you SEXIST press... Shame on you!!

OBAMA '08 & '12

Yeah, let's not talk at all with Iran and Cuba... just bomb the crap out of anyone that doesn't agree with us. Nice.

In the meantime, CNN reports that 7 million children in Ethiopia are in danger of dying from famine, and 120,000 might not even live out the month. There went 120,000 who could've looked at the US as a country that helped out and put a positive mission in action. They could've backed us if terrorists unreasonably targeted us. But whatever, let's not talk to anyone.

News flash: they'll do what they do whether we talk or not, but at least if talk, and we're a positive influence on the area, they might listen. Right now, they could care less, and our "sanctions" get laughed at. Funny, when you laugh at "macho" men, they get angry... why isn't McCain angry then? Oh wait, he is. You're getting LAUGHED AT, home skillet. Wake up.

Meanwhile, respect is dying. Somewhere a US soldier is shooting a Qu'ran. Hillary's just a 'woman'. Obama's just a n(evermind). McCain's just an 'old man'.

I'm not even that liberal and I can see that this country is dying. Talk to other countries. Talk to each other. In other countries, men (STRAIGHT men) are holding hands and appreciating each other. In this country, you're going to be called a 'f(igure it out yourself)'.

Can you see what's happening? No? Then you deserve what you get. g*d isn't blessing this country anymore, and it won't matter how many evangelicals scream. They already killed g*d by allowing their children to hate.

You think I'm blasphemous? At least I volunteer at homeless shelters. At least I've never said "oh, that's so gay". At least I've helped the bullied kids. At least I taught my children manners and let them think for themselves about what's right and wrong. I even let them decide on their own religion because every religion deserves respect, not just the Christian one. You can see what forcing a child into religion does when you look at child suicide bombers in Iraq.

And you know the biggest part? It started with talking. I talked and talked and talked and then? I UNDERSTOOD. Eventually, the Middle East will understand too, but it won't be cowards in camouflage shooting holy books and raping girls, then hiding behind their governments.

Knock off the posturing.

Talk.

Yeah, this is getting posted....

McCain is crazy, if he would have been president during the Cuban Missle Crisis, be would have all been dead.

Shut up. You are not relevant.

WARBUCKS GIVING LOSER A NEW MEANING.

Only and idiot like Obama would want to sit and have tea and cookies with terrorists and dictators.

It is world politics not community gardening.

Big Freakin Deal, lift the embargo! Lets let the Free Market Ride. Communist countries like Vietnam are doing it and the country is thriving. Please get out of the country once in a while for Gods sake and see how the world lives!

Becasue what we are doing now, its working sooooo well?

LIFT THE EMBARGO

TALK TO THEM

WE TALK TO SAUDIS, YOU KNOW THE 15 HIGHJACKERS ON 911.

I thought Obama was going to change Washington and bring a new style of politics.... I guess lying is his way of doing that?

John McCain changes with the wind himself and if he changes his mind on something and is called on it he just says he can't remember. He is the king of flip flopper.
