McCain is an idiot! Is this the BEST the GOP party have?

The GOP are TOAST!

No 3rd term for Bush and McRat!

Don't back down.You have defeated the Clintons you have proven that you can take the heat.

And we believe McCain understands foreign policy. The straight talk express seems to need a tune up.

good, tell him how it is. we are so tired of the fear and lies MCCAIN/BUSH perpetrates.

If we don't bully other countries into behaving how we feel they should behave, what will this world come to?

Yes. I think Obama will smash him, its just not a good argument for McCain. If what he said was right, then Cuba would have gave in A LONG LONG time ago. Plus what does he think "pressing" the Cuban Gov is?? I think that is engaging on a level, isn't it??

Shame on you CNN
Past 2 weeks situation covering Obama and Hillary
Again Obama in situation room this week
Situation room become Obama’s room

oh boy…McCain might want to pull in the horns a bit. Obama is going to make him look seriously ridiculous. Is McCain truly as out of touch with reality as he is demonstrating? Anyone mentally deranged enough to believe Iran is as dangerous as the former Soviet Union is certainly not fit to serve as President; in fact, probably not even mentally fit to keep his or her driver's license.

Mr. McCain also used this opportunity to push the trade agreement with Colombia. Why is anyone seriously considering this man. He will be a continuation, of Bush policies. He also took another stab at Hugo Chavez who statrted out as an ally now we want to have a problem. This is a dangerous path that we are pursuing.

Okay, so yes Barack should respond. But don't let McSame dictate the news cycle. Take the lead–McSame can not win this election.

Just the beginning Barack. It will get tougher and tougher and the questions will become harder for you to put a spin on them. Now the real game begins since Hillary was told not to attack you aggressively like the Republicans will attack you. These are not mean spirited attacks that you call them but truthful attacks meant to get a response. Not a scare-tactic response but an educated response. Answer them as they are poised given me and many others a huge window into what you want and think you can accomplish as president. Take a swipe at the republicans that says nothing more than "see, its old politics all over again" and it will sound an awful lot like a little kid saying "no, you are" type of response.

Right now, Barack, you have lost this democrat to McCain. I am but one. I am nothing more than singular. You can win with or without me. But get more of me and it will become harder and harder to see yourself in the white house other than a guest at a dinner when McCain is in it.

IF NO-BAMA STEALS THE NOMINATION FROM HILLARY…

…I CAN'T WAIT TO SEE MCCAIN & THE G.O.P EAT HIM ALIVE !!

I'LL MAKE POPCORN

Forget diplomacy or diaglogue, let's do it the republican way - bomb, bomb, bomb them and when they attack America again let's put more american soldiers' lives on the line, after all according to bush and mccain they are expendable.

Does Obama's staff know how to run a campaign or what? Stay on the attack and don't let the Republican slander machine rest. There will be no swiftboat by you rightwingers this year.

Every time the Tales from McCrip attacks Obama, tack on another 5000 votes for Camp Obama

Everytime G Dubya Bush attacks Obama, tack on another 50,000 votes for Camp Obama

I'm just going to offer a quoted section from JFK's inaugural speech here ,and let you all decide on how to react to it in reference to this foreign policy dust-up;

"Let us never fear to negotiate. Let both sides explore what problems unite us instead of belaboring those problems which divide us. Let both sides, for the first time, formulate serious and precise proposals for the inspection and control of arms, and bring the absolute power to destroy other nations under the absolute control of all nations…Let both sides join in creating…a new world of law…[waging] a struggle against the common enemies of man: tyranny…and war itself."

THIS SHOULD TAKE ALL OF 30 SECONDS.

MCSHAME HAS THE 100 YEAR POLICY.

AND EVERYTHING WE WERE TOLD WAS A LIE.

AND HE IS READY TO GO TO ANOTHER WAR.

AND WE CAN SPEND TRILLIONS ON THESE WARS &

THE REBUILDING OF THESE COUNTRIES, WE ATTACK.

AND HE DOES NOT WANT TO TAKE CARE OF THE SOLDIERS

WHOSE LIVES ARE TORN APART BY THESE WARS.

REPUBLICAN MOTTO. SPEND AMERICAN TAXPAYER MONEY

ON ANYONE BUT THE AMERICAN TAXPAYER.

When Barack was not responding back to his critics, he was labeled as being weak. Now that he is going back at his critics, he is being labeled a crybaby. Meanwhile, he will soon have the best label possible - President of the United States!

Of course Obama uses CNN. CNN is pro Obama what else would you expect. Obam is a child and can't use a non-biased media to use his fraud attempts on.

I hope Obama hits McCain head-on on foreign policy, but does not forget the economic piece in his public response. The economy is still the more significant issue.

Obama should not allow McCain to dictate the terms of public "back-and-forth" on the topic of Iran and Cuba. Keep domestic issues in the forefront of the discussion as well!

Obama in 08!

I will support a pragmatic foreign policy
approach anytime over a hyperpower approach.

The principle of proportionality or
mutual deterent.

The Bush repubs Mcain wantS to bombs and bombs.

No more, the time has come for change.

This man called McCain is begining to sound like a preacher. Most preachers think if they scare you enough you will repent so you don't go to hell. Others tend to preach God's love and woo people to Christ. McCain thinks if he scares people enough they will be afraid and vote for him. We've been through this road before with George Bush and it worked on some level the first time. But it's not going to work this time around. He can preach it from now till eternity I will choose Obama any day any time over him.

John McCain was being fed answers at his town hall in Florida again. I can only imagine the remarks from the MSM etc. if Obama were to do this in a town hall. How can JM keep getting away with this rubbish that and the fact he wants to continue what have been proven to be failed policies?

Boy, I'd like to see that one! Unfortunately, no TV in my office, just the internet.

Go get 'em, Barack!

Oh brother Wolf what are you going to have Obama on every other week so he can defend his poor self. Its funny McCain doesn't need the media like you to get his point across about Obama's non foreign policy.

The US policy on Cuba, including the so called "Wet foot/Dry foot" clause, is a complete failure and needs to be changed. In nearly 50 years of Cuban embargo, what has changed? We just have more illegal immigrants from Cuba. Do we have an embargo against China? Nope, what has changed there…nothing. Did we have an embargo against USSR? Nope, but guess what, this is no more USSR.

In short we can defeat communisism without an embargo. By not talking to a country, you are only giving credence and sympathy to their plight.

Thanks Wolf!. Am sure i will tune in.

Go get him Obama. This is a winning issue for you. The Bush foreign policies, which are supported by McCain, have been a total disaster. Time to try a different approach.

Talking to our ennemies is exactly what I want Obama to do. That is the difference between Obama and McCain. McCain is pursuing an old fashion of doing business in Washington, DC and Obama want to change that. That's why I'm gonna vote for Obama in November. We need change, period.

It is pitiful the candidate the Republicans are offering. As an Independent, this war monger will never get my vote. This is a clear pandering for votes from the latino community. What a Jerk!

The embargo of Cuban goods and service need to stay in place until basic elements of a democratic society are met? What about our trade policies with China, you blithering idiot? It's okay for them to own half of our debt and export everything under the sun to the U.S., but we look the other way when it comes to those same basic elements?

Way to go Obama….

McBush did serve the military proudly but he obviously does not know the meaning of detente. talking to another nation does not mean giving in….it means just that, talking. ie.: Soviet Union, China etc,. etc.

OBAMA '08!

Like it or not, Obama is right. Engagement or dialogue is a good policy. Other GOP presidents talked to hostile powers instead of bombing them and produced positive results, why can't a Democrat do the same? If McCain is elected president, expect a war with Iran within 6 months of his swearing in…or some manufactured crisis to justify such action…almost like a "gulf of Tonkin" stunt. And go figure, this man who served and suffered in the Vietnam war is racing towards another war thats just as futile and expensive - you think McCain would know better…but I guess the NeoCons of the Bush-Rove ilk have done their job well with their dark apprentice.

I absolutely agree with Jeff.

give him hell,barack!mccain is a clueless warmonger with no diplomatic skills whatsoever.he is an airhead,with no concept of the mood of the country,and no idea what is at stake for us.we can't afford his blind vision of the future,because he has no stake in that future.he should be in retirement.

Oh my word… the embargo on Cuba is an old school policy using last centuries politics. Geez, this man (McCain) is fighting and fighting hard against progress and global recognition.

Can anyone remember WHY we have an embargo on Cuba? I doubt many know, and less care. It was a tool used against a man who lost his relevence and abilities years ago.

I cannot WAIT for the whooping we are going to give the GOP in November. Poor McCain… the sacraficial lamb.

Obama, go get 'em!

Let the old hag McShame sweat!!!!

The republicans have very little to go on; were it not for manufacturing bogey-men at every turn, engineered to keep it populace in a constant state of fear, they would have nothing to offer at all.

Jack Caferty was right. It is not is no tlike Onama plans to get on a plan and show up at the home of Amadinajad(?) and tell him he wants to talk.

The preconditions that McCain and Bush talk about are desinged to be entirely unacceptable, thereby justifying the use of arms.

Wow. If McCain was so great, why didn't he get the nomination last time he tried? Oh wait, this is why! The man is a moron.

So, if McCain had it his way, with Cuba for example, both countries would sit stubbornly with their arms crossed and not speak to each other.

Talking to "enemies" is NOT a sign of weakness. It would help the U.S. regain some of the respect we've lost over the past eight years.

John McBush, bless his heart, is so far out of the loop of the real world that he is showing his senility, age and poor health when ever he opens his mouth. Watch him walk, watch him , watch him climb stairs, watch how he talks, look at his left jaw. Everyone knows he can't make four years in office. He will be lucky to make it to November. No wonder the Huckster wants to be his running mate as veep. Obama is battling on two fronts right at the moment. McBush hasn't seen anything until McBush is Obama's only opponent and McBush is going to look really out of touch. Can't wait for the debates. Can't wait to go after Miss Cindy (we all know she is so squeaky clean…not!). Can't wait to go after McBush.

I am so proud of Obama for standing up to McCain. Obama is so fiery now, it's like he's like a different person. So much for those who thought Obama couldn't throw or take a punch.

(I know, I know. My post is awaiting moderation.)

No one will be fooled by hyperpower approach to
foreign policy.

America leadership will be restored through
the rules of engagements.

Obama will lead the change in direction.

Go Obama go!!!

You don't seem to know foreign politics very well….the MAJORITY of the Cuban Americans don't want a relaxation of embargo against Cuba…not as long as the DICTATOR and government continues the oppression of Cuban citizens.

And as I recall, Obama was NOT in favor of relaxing the embargo unless certain criteria was met first….Flip flopping again, I see.

And Barack wanted to talk about the issues… He was better off defending Wright and parrying questons about Rezko and Ayers.

Hope and change are nice buzz words but keeping Iran from nuking Israel is what the next president needs to worry about.

Oh this is gonna be good.

Cuba no longer poses a threat to anyone. We need to reap the benefits of exporting products and create incentives for Cuba to want to reform and trade.

Cuba has tanks from WWII and it's ridiculous for McCain to claim they are still a threat.

McCain is stuck in the obsolete, corrupt politics of the past. Obama represents politics of reform and the future.

bye McSANE! we are tired of you Republican trying to bully us into thinking we are at risk, all the time, their are other ways we can resolve our conflicts with other countries besides putting our own love ones on the line!!! BY MCSANE, and take your dog with you named BUSH!

Hmmm - didn't realize that getting the most popular votes, elected delegates, and Super delegates signifies "stealing" the nomination from Hillary.

Also, any Dem who votes for McCain is not a dem. No TRUE dem would elect a Republican over a Democrat.

1) The Embargo did not punish Fidel, it punished ordinary Cuban people. 2) It is always amazing to me that America is always so keen to offer asylum to Cubans who flee Cuba, but are equally as willing to deport Haitians who flee to America for political and other freedom. Isn't it time that our Government stop looking at the "voting block" and do what is humanly right? Have we no shame? It is time for a new generation of leadership. Evidently senator McCain is still living in the decade in which he was born.

Headline in newspaper (Seattle PI)
Hanford Question Stumps Obama

Says it all. Apparently, -Mr Obama knows NOTHING about THE NATION'S MOST CONTIMINATED NUCLEAR AREA!! How is this acceptable for a POTUS?

Obama's lack of knowledge is DANGEROUS and serious. We cannot afford an empty suit in the White House.

An old time whoopin will do Bama some good.

McCain/08

TELL YOUR LEADERS NOOOOOOO MORE WAR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

McCain doesn't have a clue what is going on in the world.

What is he arguing for - the same Cuba policy that's worked so well the past 50 years? Continuing the war in Iraq which has been going just dandy over the past 5 years? Is he claiming that Iran IS as big a threat as the former Soviet Union?

McCain, Bush, and Lieberman need to be taken to an asylum where they can babble with the other neocons.

Obama is STILL chipping away Clinton's demographics

why is she still in the race?! i dont understand why like CNN or the rest of the news networks dont just hold a press conference to SHOW that even if Hillary gets the Michigan and Florida delegates back in, Obama is too far ahead now for her to catch up?! i dont understand why people cant see that?!!

i have to say though, my faith in the American people has been restored!!

A black man…BLACK MAN! is about to beat a WHITE WOMAN to the race for the White House. Well done USA. genuinely happy for u

gd luck changing the world!!

McCain reminds me of a cheap little hood.

Does anyone else share my feelings?

Obama wrote a book called the Audacity of Hope check out one of his quotes.

From Audacity of Hope: 'I will stand with the Muslims should the political winds shift in an ugly direction. BY Barack Obama

This just shows how old and out of touch McCain is. He knows we need to engage our enemies…not crawl in bed ; however after looking at some of the guys that just left McCain camp where in bed with some seedy characters…lets go press..lets look into that!!!

Hurry Barak…

Get you speech writers to work 24 hours. Get all your advisers to draw up the right answers to all the possible questions. Make sure you have the right answer if Wolf will ask you about the nuclear clean up in Washington.

Hurry!!

And please do not adlib anymore. You are sounding more and more like a fool!

Oh Yeah, you are a fool!

WRITE HILLARY'S NAME ON THE BALLOT.

Obama has nothing he can say to change the fact that he is a traitor.He cares more about dictators and islamic extremest then the conservatives in this country.What a uniter.

Does McCain plan on running on anything else besides foreign policy?

Does he understand domestic issues like the economy and how our own Americans are hurting. He seems to be so focused on external factors (very important but not enough).

Be careful what you ask for…Idiotic OBum. You are right in our trap. You are entering the Lion's Den. Lets see how you will get out of this debate. Obummers….keep posting your stupid comments. You are like Ostriches….head in the sand…

I wish Hillary could somehow pull this off.MICHIGAN & Florida should both count.In MICHIGAN ,Hillary had left her name on the ballot ,while obama pulled his off.of course that shows you point blank that Hillary's the candidate for the people.if you asked me obama forfeited the stateas Hillary kicked his rear-end.She blistered him again in the state of Florida.of course she should be our nominee.no questions asked.The experience factor is what our count-ry needs.obama doesn't have as much substance as of yet./John Black,,Monroe,N.C.

The enormous stupidity of Bush and McCain Re: Iraq & Iran Foreign Policy is mind boggling

It the equivalent of burying their heads into the sand blissfully unaware of events around them except for their myopia

Enlightenred leadership knows when and how to dialogue and negotiate

McCain is unfit to lead ..being a war her and supporting every wrong decision in the Mid-East

I'd love to see Obama Rip Gramps apart, bit by bit. Too bad I'll be at the office when "The Situation Room" is on….

GO OBAMA!!!!

NO-OBAMA, I will bring the butter for the popcorn, because this will be a show that Barack will win

OBAMA-08!

So where has forty plus years of an embargo againts Cuba gotten the United States? Nevermind that all major indistrial countries presently do business with Cuba. Nevermind that Americans visit Cuba in huge numbers through the back door via the Bahamas, the Cayman Islands and Jamaica. This is pandering to the fullest, what a joke!

Oh please. Obama is going to debate foreign policy with John McCain. Exactly how arrogant can he get. He knows nothing, he has done nothing and he will not win in the fall. Too many democrats support Clinton and despise Obama and his followers. John McCain will get my vote. Better him than Obama.

obama has not defeated anyone. He has not nor will he ever defeat the Clintons. The only thing he is defeating is the progress of the american people. Clinton will not get the nomination but it is NOT because obama defeated her. If you all think that the democrats that voted for Hillary will come around and vote for obama you are wrong. If he had proven he was worthy of my vote I would have voted for him. He has not proven anything except he talks with out giving answers. He is a raciest with color, religion,and gender.

This man called McCain is beginning to sound like a statesman.

Americans for McCain '08

Maybe we will all get lucky and a strong wind will catch Obama's Dumbo ears and he will just fly away, never to be seen or heard from again.

And to all of you who support obama the traitor will get theirs.We in flyover country will make you pay.

McCain keeps harping on terrorism and foreign policy because he really believes that this is the issue he will beat Obama on in November. As many of the comments here already indicate, McCain is so retrograde and shockingly uninformed, but hopes to blow smoke up our dresses with his POW story. Obama offers a thoughtful, intelligent alternative to the failed, fear-mongering policies of the past 7 years, and he won't back down. McCain and Bush can act like they are somehow the authority on foreign policy all they want; there is a reason that the American public has had it with their policies.

Fire for full effect Sen Obama. The republicans need to fully understand that we as Americans are tired of that image as being the "Neighborhood Bully". So what if we do not agree with the life style, beliefs or what ever of a non democratic country. Who are we to say we have all the answers. Imposing sanctions against the government of a country only hurts the people of that country, and gives that government more ammunition to go to its people with. We will eventually learn that we can not force feed our ideas and form of government down the throats of other countries; and I hope that is soon.

Go get 'em Barry!

Isn't that special. They started a war they can't finish in Iraq, now they want start some mess in Iran. At whose expense? VOTERS! Don't sleep on this one people!!!!

America needs to wake up………Bush and McCain are up to no good for America……..I believe the news about Bush wanting to attack Iran before he is remove form office…..and if America dont wake up to whats really going on……..and see just what Bush is trying to do……America will not be the Country we once Knew….When have you ever in history heard America taking on 2 to 3 wars at one time…..If America continue with this same rules as if we are to good to talk to our emenies……War will not only be on other land but it will also be on America land……..America wake up…….We can help the world if we cant even help ourself…..and with the way Bush has things going with our country …….and with him trying his hardest to get McBush in the White House…….I'm telling you …You think Rev Wright Dam America …….You want and see who will Dam America if Bush plans for McBush come to past………We will be in 3 wars and war on American land………America we need to wake up and help Obama move America in the way it needs to go……This is not a game….and We as American need not play around with this vote….This vote can really mean life or death of the American Dreams as we all Know it to be…..Obama 2008-2012……

Does Mc Bush has any thing else to talk about?

How about the war in Iraq?

Mr. McCain, we've had the same policy in place for over forty years and nothing has changed. Diplomacy accomplishes a lot more than blatant threats of "staying the course". Diplomacy stopped Libya from going nuclear and has effectively shutdown N Korea's ambitions. Why not try a different approach if the current one has a 40 year track record of failure?. Change we can believe in.

Question… to those who say 'if Obama steals the nomination';

HOW DO YOU STEAL A NOMINATION IF YOU ARE AHEAD IN EVERY MAJOR CATEGORY?

Can someone break that down to me? How can the person who is winning by a wide margin, possibly be considered the one 'stealing' the win???

WE HONOR YOUR SERVICE McCAIN BUT ALLOW US TO ENJOY THE REAL CHANGE FOR OUR GREAT COUNTRY.

Keep putting him in his place Obama until he stays there! This man is ridiculous. There is an article on the Huffington Post that explains how McCain made another Iran gaffe relating to Obama. He can't even think straight. I am so glad that Obama is standing his ground because his position is genius. I can't wait until they debate! What a sad day for McCain that will be.

Is McCain implying that Iran poses the same threat as the USSR did in the cold war? If he is then he is really lossing his bearings or just playing polictics. And mind you Obama never said the threat was insignificant-those are McCain's words.

First the USSR had neuclear weapons and Iran doesn't and Obama has repeatedly stated his resolve to be sure Iran doesn't get them.

As regards Cuba the 49/50 year old embargo has done nothing to bring relief to the people of Cuba, and the stupidity and bravado that the McCain types embrace for foreign policy has not worked and won't work in the future. We need to give Obama the chance to try progressive and dynamic ideas in foreign policy to claim the respect and leadership US enjoyed and has since lost due to the intransigent, arogant and boneheaded decisions the Bush administration has taken, and now McCain wants to continue.

I don't blame McCain too much though; you can't teach an old dog new tricks!

I am against the embargo but I disagree with Obama's position to negotiate with dictators without preconditions. it is naive, irresponsible and give the dictatorship a level of recognitino we should not send as a signal.

Obama shows a lack of touch with the reality in the diplomatic arena and International Affairs that predict a weak presidency

Does this guy go running to the press every time his judgement (poor) is in question? Is he going to give another speech? Sheesh… how about you just schedule a debate for once and then we'll see who makes the most sense.

Hey CNN. Good job airing this when no one is around to see it. It should really boost ratings.

OhOh McSame Obama is going to get you. Sickem Obama and eat him up.

Why do we still have beef with Cuba again? Is there any reason to justify our animous towards Cuba that occurred over the last 15 or 20 years? Obama is wise enough to recognize and outdated policy when he sees one. Castro is old and so is McCain…

When the best the republicans can put up for the election is this old man, even sadder that he will beat the little nothing, all talk, no experience, kid rally wonder. Yup sad

McCain is just another phony patriot that hates America

It is mind boggleing that anyone would accuse Obama of stealing the election. How??????????????? He created a better organization, ran a cleaner race, and raised more money. How does winning constitute stealing an election.

I correlate judgment to leadership and managment style - Obama has proved to excel in leading his capaimgn to an eventual victory against the dreaded Clinton machine-no one thought he could!! McCain is a senator for 80 centuries of "experience" , a POW , Military guy and yet he authorized this war, advocates another 4 to 100 years continueing it but most importantly; follows Bush policies, senator; YOU should be questioned on you judgment!!!
Obama has the judgment to help this nation turn the page and move forward into a brighter future

'Bomb, Bomb Iran' was a sign of stupidity and a complete lack of sound judgement on Mcthuselah's part … 'talking to your ememies' is a smart way to go now that Bush has proven that not talking to them is totally unproductive.

Wolf: Here's a question to address again to Barack Hussein Obama. Please ask and please press for an answer of why he sat in Rev Wrigth's church for 20 years. I know the Obama's have said America has moved on and Barack addressed this in his speech, but he has never provided an answer. Is there any media person that will pressure him for an answer?

GO RIGHT AHEAD OBAMA….

KICK HIS ANCIENT, CRYPT KEEPER FACE HAVING, FLIP FLOPPING, LOBBIST LOVING, BUSH 3RD TERM SUPPORTING, HAMAS NEGOTIATING, HYPOCRITICAL OLD BUTT.

"OLD MAN YELLS AT CLOUD."

Senator McCain's position is weak because we have heard all these republican arguments for years now. All of these arguments have been put to practice for the last 8 years and have lead us to becoming less safe, poorer and more divided.

Democrats will hold 65-70 senate seats after the 2010 election.

Immersed in corruption the Republicans have run out of arguments and ideas.

What we have here at CNN is as it has always been: a severe left leaning bias.

Get McCain, Obama. McCain is stuck back in the cold war. Americans are ready to move forward with Cuba and Central America. McCain has not offer one single solution to improve our standing with Cuba.
Go Obama!!

What is this?! Every time Obama gets challgenged he is going to run to Wolf Blitzer and hit some softballs out of the park? "Look Wolf, what I was saying was……" "Look Wolf, what I meant was…." "Look Wolf, we America does not want a thid Bush term.. " Give me a break!

I AM GOING TO VOTE FOR BARACK OBAMA, BECAUSE HE HAS INSPIRED ME AGAIN TO BELIEVE THAT THERE ARE HONEST AND CARING POLITICIANS. HILLARY CLINTON IS DISHONEST AND IS HURTING THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY.

To NO-BAMA - Why do you feel like Sentor Obama is "stealing" this election? He's the one who won more states and more delegates. What part of that is stealing?

Hillary has no one to blame but herself and her campaign. They didn't realize this was a "change" year and initially presented the wrong message. Her campaign didn't prepare for anything past Super Tuesday and didn't focus on the caucus states. That was a mistake on their part.

Believe me, with Senator Obama having won more states and delegates and he's not the nominee, that is when it would appear "stolen". The Dems would surely lose then.

BTW - I'm a Democrat and I can't support Senator Clinton. My research (and I've done a lot) shows me too much that I don't like. I'll never vote Republican, but i couldn't vote for her either.

Obama wants peace in this world. I'm with him and the Democratic Party.

And McCain knows what he's talking about. This is why we have 4000 plus soldiers dead, we are billions of dollars in debt to China for paying for the war, Ben Laden is still making threats and running free, our money is not worth 2 cents that's why we pay so much for oil. Other countries aren't having this problem with gas prices. Iran, Ben Laden and Hamas, all our enemies have been put in power by us but we don't talk to them. Iraq and the US are less safe now than we were before the war in Iraq. McMcain, Bush, CHeney, Rumsfeld all need to be tried for putting this country in the state that it is in now.

McCain is a fraud and a hypocrite. He is also a two- faced liar. I wonder if he realizes we are talking with North Korea and Libya. I wonder if he remembers that Hamas was democratically elected. If he doesn't want to hold talks with Iran, what does he want to do.
Obama shold take off the gloves and go after him. Open up the old farts closet and watch all of the skeletons fall out. McCain is absolutely pathetic.

JFK talked to the Soviets during the cold war. Nixon opened the door to China when they were seen as a dangerous communist nation. Carter worked the middle east, specifically Egypt and Israel, into a pretty solid peace accord and, let's see, oh yeah Bush ignored practically every potential enemy on the planet and the country and the world are a mess. Just a coincedence?

So why isn't McCain calling for an embargo of China or Saudi Arabia or any of the other non-democratic and/or communist regimes we are trading with regularly. The embargo of Cuba would be long since gone if the Cuban-American constituency in south Florida wasn't so critical in Presidential politics. And Obama didn't say Iran was insignificant; just the obvious satement that the USSR was a tad more dangerous.

Wow! I guess Obama only like easy territory.
What is the point of having another interview with Wolf?
Wolf doesn’t ask Obama the questions that needs to be answered.
Obama is getting another chance to go over his talking points and CNN is creating this opportunity.
CNN you are biased and helping Obama get elected?

CNN = Politics

CNN should = Truth

Obama is unlike any Democratic candidate we've seen in decades. He does not sit around for 48 hours after the Republican spin machine distorts him or his comments. He attacks right back with the truth. You gotta love his approach.

If the rest of the world had a say in the American elections, Barack Obama would win by such a big margin, that it would take McCain 100 years to come to terms with his defeat! Obama is the most inspiring politician since JFK and he can govern the US in a way only dreamt by others. Greece is with you Obama, YES WE CAN!

Why not talk to Cuba? What has not talking to them accomplished?

Whats wrong with meeting with other countries and looking them in the eye and say "keep it up and I'll be back" this time with the 7th cavalary? Hopefully you guys will get this election right and put America back where she belongs, leaders of the free world or world for that matter.

Why would we consider an new policy toward Cuba when the policy we have had in place for 50 years has worked so well? McCain really needs to wake up, nothing in Cuba has changed, our policies have failed, we need a new approach. In addition, the threat from Iran would not be as great if it were not for our policies - this country really needs to regroup. Doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different result is the definition of insanity. We can't make insane decisions in November - we need a change. Hillary or Barrack, but not McCain.

I can not wait until the genral election debates. McCain will come across as a stammering, out of touch flip-flopper. Obama will keep his cool and McCain will act like Grandpa Simpson "Old Man Yells at Cloud!' (Go Keith O!) It will go down in YouTube infamy!

Between that blithering idiot No-Bama and that sanctimonious panty crust Susan MO who just loves Hillary so much, I don't know if this is an honest blog room or a room where Repub. ringers hang out to catch true Democrats.

GO OBAMA, GO (HOME) NO-BAMA!!

The more McCain castigates Obama, the more clear it is that it's TIME FOR CHANGE. Keep up the good work John. Obama and the American people thank you!

Mike

Can someone find a vacant room in senior home for McCain……..he is lossing it…….

According to an article on Huffington Post, McCain's approach has actually strengthened our enemies instead of weakening them. Think about it, when has not talking with someone ever solved a problem?

OBAMA NEVER SCARED TRHE GOP THEY DONE YOU WILL BE THE NEXT PRESIDENT OF THE AMERICA.

WOW this is going to be an easy election for McCain.

Obama wants to make friends with the Iranians, and become the next Putin. Obama wants to become King, and is willing to compromise our security as a nation. Obama doesn't equal JFK. JFK may have met with the Soviets but he bombed the Cubans.

JFK was a proud American and vet
McCain is a proud American and vet
BO and his wife have never been proud of this great country before.

Not interacting with Cuba is not only the McCain way, but the way of every president since that has become a oppressive regime.

Again it takes Obama at least 24 hours to respond to a difference of perspective of Iran.

He again needs his speech writers to turn a pretty phrase in order to protect his inept original statement and make him sound like a strong leader…

Obama is like a baby bull in a china shop, everyone thinks the baby bull is cute, but oh what disasters await the exquisite china; when the baby bull destroys everything.

Obama and McCain both weak leaders, the only true strong leader is H.R. Clinton.

Super delegates chose wisely between Obama and Clinton. The presidency is the highest and the most important position in the world, genuine curriculum vitae and the citizens’ votes must all be counted, to make the president legal.

H.R. Clinton 2009-2012 the only true legal future President

Don't fall for McLieberCain's NeoCon trap Obama.
Stand up for Peace and Statesmanship- that is why Conservatives like me like you.
What happened to McCain's promise not to run a negative campaign? I guess Joe Lieberman told him it was time to attack.
The embargo on Cuba SHOULD end.
We SHOULD engage other nations in peaceful dialog.
Obama/ Ron Paul 08!
Enough of the War Mongering!!

Gallup Poll - Election News
Key Clinton Constituencies Moving Toward Obama NEW May 20, 2008
Barack Obama’s widening lead over Hillary Clinton among Democrats nationwide brings with it important gains among Clinton’s core constituencies, including women, whites, and the non-college educated. Obama is now the overwhelming favorite among 18- to 29-year-olds, men, and postgraduates

Let's see. Over 3,000 nuclear warheads aimed at us. A dictator who vowed to crush us from within. A stand off in Germany. Russian missiles in Cuba. The threat from Iran is not even close to what Russia was. Obama did not say Iran was not a threat, but that it is not as much a threat as Russia was. McCain twisted it and lied.

Give those people a taste of freedom and they just might change that government themselves. Dictators can be overcome from within.

Only in America can a person as inept as McCane can run for the highest office in the nation.

All this cowboy tough talk does not mask McCane's psychological weakness caused by 5 years of torture and humiliation.

It's quite simple. If a man that McCain considers the greatest president this country has ever had can talk to the leaders of the evil empire then a president should be able to talk to anyone. But then again maybe McCain secretly believes we should never have talked to the Soviets.

Hey!!! vic nashville,Tn of course Obama gets all the attention

HRC and McBush are non-entities not worth the news

coverage anymore. If you want a continuation of Bush-Cheney

with HIgh Gas prices and more endless War in Iraq go ahead

and vote for McShame, you deserve what you'll get.

Clearly, the Republican party is grasping at straws. The last quote here from McCain is: “Obviously Iran isn’t a superpower and doesn’t possess the military power the Soviet Union had, but that does not mean that the threat posed by Iran is insignificant".

Now, here's a quote from Obama: "Let me be absolutely clear: Iran is a grave threat." But the Soviet Union posed an added threat. "The Soviet Union had thousands of nuclear weapons, and Iran doesn't have one."

McCain knows that they're saying the same thing about the threat posed by Iran relative to the Soviet Union, but he's trying to make something out of nothing anyway. If this is all the Republicans have, then their chances of winning in November don't look too good.

PUT MCAIN IN A NURSING HOME…..PLEASE

The Middle East has about 3000 years of hatred, intolerance and war, Mr. McCain. How about we try something different for once?

When did talking become a sign of weakness? Obviously the GOP has become so wealthy that they are disconnected from realiity…. I can not wait until McBush goes head to head with OBAMA…

TAMPA FOR IN OBAMA 08….

What is McCains problem and why does he keep repeating himself about this foreign policy thing? People already know that he will "bomb, bomb, bomb Iran" and Senator O will lay down the law to enforce the rules and the Iranian leaders will have no choice but to respect Senator O's honesty, power and integrity.

Senator O is da man!

McCain won't negotiate, becasue his idea of negotiation is to jump across a table and try to choke someone. Talk to Kathy Dubs about a City Council meeting where she was attacked by Mccain for calling him out on trying to get an airport built on land owned by his wife's family.

I love the fact that most conservatives want to shove our way of life down other peoples' throats. They are no better than the dictators of the countries they want to 'change'.

For those who care to listen while you are crying foul on CNN, FOXNEWS is so pro-republican and anti-democrat that its a crying shame. Democrats should be proud that CNN shows them in a good light because FOX tries it best to show you all in the worst lpossible way imaginable.

Yahooo -

YOU go Sen. Obama!!! It's about time Sen. McCain gets call out on his own "dirt" and "straight talk" BS. This man has been walking around like he's the sheriff in a ghost town. Nobody is scared of this old fart. He better "recognize" that there's a NEW sheriff in town, and his name is OBAMA!! Okay? Okay.

This guy has been getting away without any vetting at all. Those days are over.

We need to wear him out and turn him out!! November won't come soon enough for Sen. McCain. Let the battle begin…..

Wait a minute Senator McCain, when did it become weakness to negotiate?
How do you understand somebody you don't talk to?
How do you get them to agree to your views if you don't talk to them?

I must have missed something in this conversation….let's start over!!

“First of all, I’m not in favor of sticking my finger in the eye of Fidel Castro. In fact, I would favor a road map towards normalization of relations such as we presented to the Vietnamese and led to a normalization of relations between our two countries.” - John McCain

He said this during an interview in 2000 with CNN while the Elian Gonzalez.

John McCain is grandstanding for Republicans now that he's the nominee. He has a long history, and it's shown for the most part, he's only being what they want him to be right now. Who knows what he'll be for and say tomorrow.

The old man John Mccain is confused he still thinks he is fighting in vietanam. Some one needs to tell him the embargo on cuba did nothing to hurt fiedel castro he ruled cuba for 47 years. It only hurt the cuban people.

Stand your ground Obama , your the man.

NO - BAMA, How can Barack Obama steal something from Hillary she never had. I know about the Clinton math and moving the goal posts, but what are you talking about?

McCain cannot both be fore the Cuban people and for the sanctions that are hurting them.
Democracy is not forced, it does not occur by suppressing and invading. Nor does it occur by making the people so uncomfortable that they beg for relief.
McCain is a torturer.
It is well past time to sit down with the Iranians and air grievances on both sides. Its not like we have been perfect angels with the people and leadership of the country.

" KEEP YOUR FRIENDS CLOSE AND YOUR ENEMIES CLOSER"

McCain is desperate!!! He is swatting the air with his fists trying to gain any attention he can, since he isnt getting any attention at all…so his strategy is to attack Obama…then he will get air play on the networks…

Move on McCain…you are only making Obama stronger and more appealing to the voters!

Obama '08

Imagine if the North and the South did not have dialogue. Where would we be today? Who knows I guess. It is good policy and the re-pugs reject this idea with alot of SABAR RATTLING and I WILL NOT BY IT no more!!!!!!!

I see 98% of the comments here are anti-McCain. Afraid to let the pro-McCain ones through? And don't tell me that all the posters are pro-Obama when clearly it's less than 50% based on the latest polling. CNN's bias glares out more than Rush Limbaugh's!

The fact is, you can't have a rational dialog with someone who is irrational. You can't try to make peace with someone who is hell-bent on destroying you.

Read the book "If You Give a Mouse a Cookie" and you'll understand why you can't sit down with the leaders who want to be legitimized.

There are two ways to resolve a dispute: talk or fight. I'm done with the politices where we fight before we've exhausted the talking options. Talking gives nothing away unless one talks idiotically like McBush who can't even get the Iran leadership right in his latest gaffe..

I am beginning to think that CNN will not publish a pro-republican response? All you see in these postings are spewing liberals. Where do all of these idiots come from? If you want a look into what an Obama foreign policy would look like, Jimmy Carter's dismal failure should be your vision. Obama is nothing more than a black Jimmy Carter. His hopeless nievete in foreign affairs would seriously imperil our free world, as well as that of our allies.

OBAMA DOESN'T KNOW WHAT HE IS DOING!

HE DOES NOT HAVE THE EXPERIENCE OF HILLARY OR McCAIN!

WHAT HAS OBAMA EVER DONE?

HE CANNOT GET ELECTED IN NOVEMBER! TOO MUCH SCANDAL!!!!!!

HILLARY IS THE FIGHTER WE NEED!!!!!!!!! GO HILLARY!!!!!

Ooh. Obama. What a tough guy. So tough he cancels a debate in North Carolina with Hillary because he got his but kicked in the ABC debate. And why does he choose tonight to act tough on CNN vs John McCain? Simply because he doesn't want CNN to focus on the next butt kicking he's going to take tonight in the Kentucky primary. He didn't want the voters to focus on the 41 point loss in West Virginia last week so he begged John Edwards to announce an endorsement the next day. Now he wants CNN to participate in his diversion. Shouldn't we instead focus on the voters and what they are saying?

tjhis took a few days…

So…he has his speach ready…. he has all the questions from Wolf so he can be prepared to give answers…. uh…uh…uh…

This guy is a farce!

How do you expect him to raise the bar for this country if he cannot even handle an impromptu interview or rebuttle!?

I am so proud of Senator Obama! Stay on top of the issues. There will be no swift boating Dems this year!

I'm with Michelle, for the first time in my adult life, "I am REALLY proud of my country."

Obama '08

OH I'LL BET McCAIN IS SCARED!!!!!!

OBAMA IS A WIMP!!!!!!

HE CAN'T EVEN TALK TOUGH!!!!!

HE IS A JOKE!!!!!!

GO HILLARY!!!!!!!!

it's time to end the cycle of lies and deception by bush and mcbush….we need change!!

It's become obvious that McCain is following the Bush Administration policy book. What happened to his maverick persona? He is going to lose and deservedly so. The Republican king makers must have gotten to him to follow their dictates. Guess the maverick in him is withering away with age.

Whatever he going to respond but it still doesn't help him because the evident political already show in the calendar and he admit it that he going to sit down and talk to those evil leader. Anyway we still don't buy it
so he thought that people going buy that like Rev. Wrong comment? it still
doesn't work that way we still remember that in general election.

Obama is the real deal. He is smarter and more capable than all the presidential candidates of the last 30 years put together (except Jimmy Carter, of course).

Obama ALL the way!

Oh McStupid! Your party has utterly failed in the foreign policy arena. It's time for a change. It's Obama-Time!!!

I like the Situation Room, Wolf. Keep up the good work. Your show presents equal time to arguments from both sides.

An old man once told there 3 sides to every story. Your side, my side, and the truth somewhere in the middle.

Blitzer for VP. He has plenty of White House experience.

Very proud of all americans that see the truth and support Obama.

John McCain is Bush third term.

The GOP has been playing around the intelligence of Americans for decades. They have been using dirty tatics, excuse me to say, that are not easy for many people to analyse, especially the blue-collar workers. That is why even Hillary is trying to use such dirty tatics on Obama, but it did not work this time, and it will not work in november.

I have inside info from DC that Obama will make Jeramiah Wright his Vice President when he is elected. So all Obama lovers and supported, please elect Obama.

Go Obama/Wright 2008!!!!!

Obama knows nothing about foreign policy. McCain is the experienced one and I am not for him. I am for Hillary. I won't vote for Obama if he is the nominee. Obama is just a celebrity who got a free ride form the media and the DNC males. No, I won't change my mind about him in Nov even if Hillary asks me. It's a matter of principle and intuition.

Barack just go back to your memorized stump speech, that is the only way you can snow over the democrats. Being in a debate with someone that has experience and knows what he is talking about like McCain makes you look weaker than you already are. The more the people know of your tax and spend ways and your lack of experience, the more likely McCain will win in six months.

McCain '08

This reminds me of all the diplomatic talking that Kennedy did the hole time the USSR was putting bombs in Cuba. What did they say?

They said the weapons we are giving to Cuba are defensive weapons only

What dose Iran say ? We are only refining uranium to make energy.

This is McCain's point.

BTW it takes years to refine uranium . But only a month to build a bomb.

Some people can't be talked down.

Is McSame going to jump every time Obama utters a word? Geez, this is getting ridiculous. I sure have enjoyed watching Obama take the right to task - he's not your typical democratic - god love him!!

I have exactly double the experience Obama has on foreign policy, if we go by his "growing up" in another country metric…

To NO OBAMA: How can Obama steal the election from Hilliary? He's the one who has played by the rules the ENTIRE race. He is in the lead because more people have voted for him that's why he leads in states won, popular vote and delegates. I hate to break it to you, but your girl losing fair and square. So if you are dumb enough to vote for McCain and add to the economic problems and continue this pointless war for 100 or so years then go right ahead because you obviously don't really care about the future of the country

Go get him Barack, should take all of 3 mins. By the way could you ask John and Hillary what about our gas tax break?

Obama keeps doubling-down on his ignorance of foreign policy.

The terrorists of 9/11 didn't have the military budget of the Soviets. The terrorist of Hamas and Hezbollah don't either.

Obama doesn't realize the realities of the world in which is claims he can effectively lead.

Well, Obama continues to appear as if he's the nominee. Everyone seems to be accepting that except the voters, who have cast a majority of their votes for Sen. Clinton. Our party are at the mercy of a small group known as "super" delegates. Even Sen. Byrd, whose state overwhelmingly voted for Clinton, says he'll cast his delegate vote for Obama.

If this race had been won fairly, we Clinton supporters would then support Obama, We wouldn't have the best candidate, but we would not have complained. Unfortunately, he wasn't chosen fairly, and that changed everything.

No matter how much Obama's crowd tries to "make nice" now, the damage is done. I don't think anything they or Obama says or does now will change that. Consequently, they may be facing insurmountable retribution in November. Sadly, the country may suffer as well.

I suggest that before next time, the DNC change its ridiculous process of chosing a nominee to that which is used in the general election. I also suggest an oversight of media coverage of elections.
And of course, we need to have new discourse on sexism and gender bias in this country.

In the event that I made a bad choice to back Clinton, I have decided that I do not want to make an other bad choice only to lose come Nov. So with that said I will have to Back McCain like millions of ex-Clinton supporters are. The way Obama is making a fool of him self thinking that Bush was talking about him I might even think those millions are on to something

McCain is TOAST!

"These steps would send the worst possible signal to Cuba's dictators"

Last time I checked, Dictators tend to not want to share the power they possess; hence making them Dictators. Now correct me if I'm wrong here, but Fidel Castro was and has been Cuba's only dictator for the last several decades. Dictators rule alone. So I'm just wondering how many Dictators McCain thinks Cuba has, and how many of them he can actually avoid? Is there one? Are there many? My 6th grade Social Studies Skills seem to have eluded me in my old age (24). Can someone please tell me where I can find a clue?

James,

Here is a quote from Lenin:

"Probe with bayonets, if you encounter mush, continue. If you encounter steel, withdraw".

An Obama presidency will leave this world in a much more dangerous level than we are currently. Sure, Obama supporters scream about a "3rd Bush term", but that campaign soundbite shows a serious lack of knowlege about the realities of politics and a complete surrender to abject partisanship which has plagued Washington DC since Nixon.

McCain and Bush's policies are laughable. The war in Iraq did not make us safer, we should all know that! More and more countries shy away from The United States as a whole because of our "go it alone attitude" If there is a big war in our future we need allies and America has lost support in most of the world due to our handlings of the Iraq war.

We need to dicontinue this failed policy in Iraq and finish the job of finding Osama Bin Laden, and also work on our relationship with other countries while trying to make this world a more peaceful place!

McCain has the same attitude as Bush about Foreign policy, so don't be surprised if we end up in more battles than we have troops for. More American blood will be spilled and it will possibly be under a DRAFT as well. Open your eyes people!

People say they will vote for McCain on experience. Experience on what?
Losing more jobs under NAFTA? Continuing tax cuts for the most wealthy while the rest of us are suffering? Continuing a FAILED Foreign policy?

If this is EXPERIENCE - count me out!

John McCain is a dangerous man and can't even keep his facts straight. Can't wait to see the debate between McCain and Obama!

Look for a lot more wars and other problems if McCain is elected! All who want peace should vote for Obama!

So McAncient's arguement to everything is basically to leave things just the way they are. Is anyone really happy with the way things are? Need I say more? Obama '08, Yes we can, and yes we WILL!!!

If this is Mcfart's strongest subject then he is in deep do-do. He just thought he would scare us half to death, call Obama naive and laugh all the way to the nomination.

I have news for you Mcfart — Obama is not going anywhere. He is going to make mincemeat of you because the people in this country are sick and tired of your inactions and fearmongering. We want a new president with new ideas. Your same-ol-same-ol isn't going to work this time. And neither is your stupid personal attacks.

Flip-flop your way out of this.

Once again he has to ANNOUNCE that he's going to respond on TV…

…because he needs his speech writers to tell him what to say.

Hillary Clinton wouldn't have to delay firing back!

PLEASE ALL OF US IN THIS GREAT NATION REMEMBER TODAY WHEN THE LAST TIME WE STOOD AS A NATIONAL FAMILY AND REMEMBER WHO WE ARE AS AMERICAN'S AND STOP THE FIGHTING AMONGST OURSELVES. STAND WITH ME TODAY AS FAMILY

McCain doesn't seem to comprehend the difference between Shiias and Sunnis and doesn't know who is ultimately in charge of decision making in Iran–these foreign deficiencies are not just unacceptable, but they are extremely dangerous. One George W. Bush in my lifetime is plenty!

Like great Presidents before him, Obama will "never negotiate out of fear, but will never fear to negotiate". Obama doesn't see the world in black and white, like McCain and Bush, he sees the world as it is–intricate shades of grey.

Obama in '08!

Now if the polls suggest that Obamus has an insurmountable lead, did the pollsters go to Kentucky? Did they tell Kentucky and West Virginia about it? Why so much negative press about Hillary.

Every day I pick up the paper or turn on the TV there is negativism about Hillary. Surely the pundits and other idiotss could think of bad news for Obamus or McClain. Let's give Hillary a break.

I am sick of the negative press for Hillary

Why does it take Obama 48 hours to respond to McCain or Bush? If Obama does get that call at 3:00 o'clock in the morning does this mean that he will he need 48 hours to make a decision? Seriously.

The thing I love about all of this is that Bush, the person who initiated this foreign policy criticism by saying that Democrats (Obama) are like the appeasers of the Nazis in the 1930s, looks like the biggest jack*** in the world to those who know American History. Prescott Bush, George W.'s grandfather was an OUTSPOKEN supporter of the Nazis during the 1930s, openly trading with them. He was nearly indicted for violation of the "Trading with the enemies" Ban which existed at the time. I find that hysterical…alright Bush…hate the appeaser, but why don't ya give ol' Granddaddy a prayer and find out what he has to say.

I find it remarkable that there is even one hardworking, economically challenged American, white or otherwise, that would consider putting another Republican in the White House! Will we only wake up after we're all sleeping in the streets? Vote your own interests, people; not your prejudices.

Interesting notion, "Clinton Supporter", seeing as how it's Hillary who can't take her eyes of the copy at EVERY speech she gives.

OOOOOObama '08!

there he goes again with his fear tactics havent we have enough of that for 7 years hey i have an idea why dont minnie mes campaign go try to find him an island some where far far away so he can retire rather than try to get him in the white house this man is an absolute JOKE and you all thought bush was bad HA HA vote obama

It's going to be funny when McCain finally takes on Obama in a debate…. HILLARITY will ensue when Obama pokes holes in McCain's fear-mongeri
