BAYAMON, Puerto Rico (CNN) — Barack Obama talked to supporters along a parade route in Bayamon, Puerto Rico, Saturday. The event was referred to as a "caminata," a traditional parade for a candidate on the island.

Standing on the wooden box, Obama told supporters, "I am absolutely confident that if that we keep on working hard, there's no reason why we cant win here in Puerto Rico and if we win Puerto Rico we will win the nomination and if we win the nomination, we will win the general election."

She just cannot accept that she's lost this. She started with every advantage running virtually as the incumbent. Now she wants to change all the rules. Hey maybe she'd like this change….maybe we should only count the states that she won.

Way to go Obama!

Senator Barack Obama, please make sure you lead our country as a president. You are an outstanding leader. You as a president will lead US and bring back what we used to have and lost…
Respect of all the nations of the world. We need the respect of the world back where it belongs, right here.
Splendid campain. Splendid job. All power to Obama. He will save our face in the world and make US proud!

Obama supporters jump at every opportunity to disparage Sen. Clinton but I seldom read anything good from them about their candidate. They have tons of negative comments about Hillary but nothing uplifting to say about Barack. What's with that?

The exaggeration and phony overreaction by the Obama campaign and media to Hillary's comment about primaries running into June are a matter of history. She owed no one an apology for being historically accurate.

I've tried not to blame the candidate for the viciousness of his supporters but Obama's campaign whipped this one into a frenzy. I've finally grown completely disgusted with him and his supporters. His performance in the debates and weak record make him a very poor candidate. When he loses, his supporters will of course blame Sen. Clinton but it's his lack of experience and their vitriol that will cost us the election.

femi olawale   May 24th, 2008 8:12 pm ET

Although i prefer Obama but either Clinton or Obama looks fit for next prsident and better than McCain. McCain can still be a resource for defence secretary if his age will permit. If MacCain is so experience as he claims why has he not produce results. in the last 8 years Where was MaCain wisdom and experience before we erroneously invaded Iraq?
When you keep doing things in the same way you are likely to get same result. Bush has failed us woefully and we need 'changes' in governance to get different result. There is nothing wrong having a fresh republican as president but every thing seem wrong with MacCain as President. He is too old, talks too tough, (even after American has been alienated in the committee of western nations), he is neither conservative or liberal, and tested with no result. 'If you must tame a monkey you can not behave like lion'. Its time America embrace other opinions catiously and stop repeling other nations indiscriminately and recklessly if i can use MaCain word.

I hope things continue to get better for Bam each day!

Hillary is still in the race because June 3, 2008 is the last day for primaries! Plus – it cost money for ballots and to hold primaries – there are many people who still have to vote!

What I don't understand is why she is not going after Mc Cain hard – it would be a great way for her and Bam to mash Mc Cain while she is still in the race as opposed for her to continue down her destructive path to losing!

This race is almost over ————- this week should be worth keeping our eyes on because we have the May 31, 2008 DNC meeting and June 1 – primary in Puerto Rico and on June 3 – SD and MT!!!

Be nice if Bam can take some time off and then start his campaign in full!

Go Bam!

brina   May 24th, 2008 8:09 pm ET

Thanks for all the hard work thanks for not getting out of control even sometimes …I got so upset at you for letting Hillary dog you out …..like she was your mother and you couldn't fight her like you're fight Mc cain you are very smart …..you didn't get dirty even though they throw mud…..now you"re wooven and ready thanks Hillary and the Cnn and the republicans……….a true man is not what he does in adverisary but how he reacts to it Judgement …..Race was the biggest issue but you didn't blame anyone you made us think about the other person feelings why whites are upset , why blacks are upset , why people of all colors, and you gave us a path to unity……a path we haven't been down since Kennedy and King's death ……….unity a better future…..

Where is Puerto Rico? Who are Puerto Ricans?

Henry l   May 24th, 2008 8:07 pm ET

Women and blue collar workers should sound her out by voting for Barak in the remining contests so she can drop out though low votes. Falling short of that.. the woman is not going any where. She would rather turn the party up side down.

Jose A Torres   May 24th, 2008 8:07 pm ET

I am from Puerto Rico and grew up in the states although I have managed manufacturing companies on the island throughout the years. I am very glad that both Michelle and Barack have visited my homeland. Contrary to what many think in the US Puerto Rico are different from other US hispanics in that we are the only hispanic that is a naturally born US citizen and our culture is that from the Caribbean and not Mexico or South America although we may have similarities.

Thank you again Barack and Michelle for visiting my home. That goes a long way for Puerto Ricans, "Boricua".

Eric in Cincy   May 24th, 2008 8:07 pm ET

I honestly don't know what she is up to. All I know is, if the Supers take the nomination from B-Rock and give it to her, ALOT of people will be upset. And these people are not just black…

Rod   May 24th, 2008 8:06 pm ET

I must say I have lost respect for Hillary Clinton. I shook her hand when her husband was inaugurated in 1992, and I've always liked her, but her actions have really left a sour taste in my mouth. The election was over months ago; everyone told her and yet she persisted in firing up her supporters and turning them against Obama. This election is all about her and "making history".

In this country, we don't elect people merely to "make history". We will indeed elect a woman president, but this is unfortunately not the right woman. Her sole intention is to be nominated at all costs and to hurt Obama in the general election so that she can run against McCain in 2012. As I said, I've lost all respect for her. Bill needs to do the right thing and tell her to shut up. If he doesn't, the party leaders need to tell her to do so. It's over. It's been over. Support the nominee, Hillary and save some face.

Obama 2008   May 24th, 2008 8:03 pm ET

We do not want a president that threaten someone that stand on her way.

txgal44   May 24th, 2008 8:03 pm ET

Bob G.   May 24th, 2008 8:00 pm ET

Why does Barry continue to waste his funds when he has already won the nomination? He should be saving his money to go against McCain and for his new campaign to become emperor of the world after the inauguaration.

Reza Fazli   May 24th, 2008 8:00 pm ET

It looks like she is pushing it hard to get Obama loose in the general election in November. Why you might ask? Well in my opinion by doing that Mc cain will win and then she will compete against him in 2012 and have a better chance than now to win both the nomination and general election on 4 years time.

GO OBAMA GO MY HUSBABD AN I ARE WITH YOU .

I AM ORIGINALLY FROM ARGENTINA AND WE HAVE HAD WOMEN AS PRESIDENT BEFORE THAT IS NOT UNCOMMON BUT WE HAVE HAD A GOOD WOMAN LIKE EVITA AND ACTUALLY A BAD ONE LIKE CRITINA KISHNER .
HILLARY LOOKS LIKE A BUD ONE IN MY OPINION .
MY SUGGESTION IS DON'T CHOOSE A WOMAN BECAUSE IS A WOMAN CHOOSE A WOMAN IF YOU GONNA DO IT BECAUSE IS GOOD IN HER ISSUES LIKE EVITA WAS .

GOOOOOOOO OBAMA ALLL THE WAY

Tom,des moines   May 24th, 2008 7:59 pm ET

People,if u add up all the states Hussein Obama won so far, Hussein Obama would have a total of less than 230 electoral vote. Hillary would have over 280 electoral vote.

Go Hillary!

Charlie Richmond   May 24th, 2008 7:58 pm ET

I am a Republican and normally vote Republican, I will be voting and campaigning for Obama. He is like a breath of fresh air.
Hillary is delusional and McCain is just an older Bush, who's policies have almost bankrupt the country.

Kathy in Michigan   May 24th, 2008 7:58 pm ET

Obama is what we need in the 50 States and Puerto Rico!!!

He will be the Democratic Nominee and the next President of the United States of America. He will be announced the Nominee on August 28th, 2008, the last day of the Democratic National Convention and the 45th Anniversary of Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.'s "I Have a Dream" Speech given at the the Lincoln Memorial in Washington, D.C. in 1963 during the March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom!

Jeanne, San Diego   May 24th, 2008 7:57 pm ET

I hope he is able to win all of the remaining primaries. He runs a good campaign and I think he'll do a great job of running the country.

Tatiana   May 24th, 2008 7:56 pm ET

He's the real thing. He must win!

Imani   May 24th, 2008 7:56 pm ET

Godspeed Obama- be safe.

Tom,des moines   May 24th, 2008 7:56 pm ET

I think we need to change the way we pick our nominee process.

1. we need to get rid of caucus.
2. we need to get rid of superdelegate.
3. we need to boundle up primary,let say 10 states for each contest for 5 month period.
4. we need to have a winner take at least 65% of the delegate.

Hillary is the real winner!

Richard   May 24th, 2008 7:54 pm ET

After yesterdays comment, I don't know why the super delegates are not B lining towards Obama and get Clinton out of her misery before she has a mental breakdown. She is very close to having one.

Scott from VA   May 24th, 2008 7:51 pm ET

Hillary will cream Obama in Puerto Rico and she will end up with the majority of popular vote. Obama peaked in February and his popularity with the voters has been declining ever since. Hillary has the winning streak of primaries going (TX, OH, PA, KY, WV) in key states needed for the general election. Hillary should take this all the way to convention if needed to ensure that the most electable candidate (her) is the nominee.

Conventional Wisdom   May 24th, 2008 7:49 pm ET

Puerto Ricans will not fall for Obama's empty speeches. He has no experience and offers no details concerning his policies. He has the thinnest skin and gets offended at comments not even directed at him (how will this man deal with world leaders if he did become the nominee – he'd be whinning, misinterpreting comments and incorrectly crying foul all the time – scary!).

Puerto Ricans are smart and will realize that Senator Clinton is the best candidiate – she has experience, she offers detailed policies, she represents all democrats (including working Democrats), and she can take the heat in the kitchen.

Obama is not the nominee – he is acting so arrogantly as if he won the nomination already. Neither candidiate has the math to win the nomination without superdelegates – which means this will go all the way to the convention. Clinton has won the popular vote. Let's listen to the voters and not end up with another Bush/Gore 2000.

Puerto Rico – come out and vote for Sen Clinton. Join the majority of voters. We'd love to have your company.

Rick   May 24th, 2008 7:48 pm ET

Good to see Obama in P.R. He needs to bring this show to a close with the only numbers the count; delegates! All my best to a true Statesman.

Naomi Lawson   May 24th, 2008 7:47 pm ET

This is the 1st itme I've voted for a Dem. President. I'm so ready for a change.. I Obama can do it..
Hillary is not a truthful person, I believe her campaign has become self serving to her. I can't image President Bill Clinton hanging around the Whitehouse again.
Naomi

Dingumama   May 24th, 2008 7:47 pm ET

Hillary is a hypocrite. She knows she is hurting Obama by staying in. She is just using the excuse of "Never Quit Attitude" to have leverage over Obama after the primaries. No matter how many time Obama says he respects her for fighting so hard, he cannot win over her supporters simply because they are the real sexists and racists.

Donna, MA   May 24th, 2008 7:47 pm ET

Hillary said that she would do anything to win. Makes me wonder what is going on behind the scenes.

hrao   May 24th, 2008 7:47 pm ET

A true winner need not feel threatened by Hillary -right? What do people who have not donated to Hillary care about her debts? both are stupid comments. She will not get out till her supporter ask her to do so-go take a cold shower.

Barack Obama on Rev. Jeremiah Wright: "I can no more disown him than I can disown the black community. I can no more disown him than I can my white grandmother."

So Barack, since making the statement above, you stated that you HAVE disowned Rev. Jeremiah Wright! So our questions to you is, have you also disowned the black community, or are you a liar! You can't have it both ways. Just come clean with the American people and run an honest campaign for "a change we can believe in"!

Debra   May 24th, 2008 7:45 pm ET

At this point I'm totally disgusted withthe superdelegates for allowing this to continue the way that it is. They know as well as see what is beginning to happen to the dem. party. The rep. will not destroy us for we are beginning to do a great job. Hillary knows that she can not win and the desperate acts that we are seeing at this point is a strong indication as well as proof that she is willing to do and say anything to win. I once voted for Hillary and Bill because I believed in them both at that time. The only experience that Hillary is demonstrating at this point is the dirty politics she learned in Washington as First Lady and now Senator. I pray that the superdelegates will step up and end this once and for all.

OBAMA 2008 PARA PRESIDENTE DESDE PUERTO RICO.

Fred   May 24th, 2008 7:43 pm ET

Believe me or not, Clinton is one of those politicians that will do anything to become president. Her recent remarks and a trail of situations ranging from her alledged sniper bullets in Bosnia are just but a few. This campaign is not about race, gender or her so-called experience claimed. This country is in need of a change and none of those long time Washington Politicians is out for any change. I am a Republican and voted both in 2000, and 2004 for George Bush, but our party (the Republican party) has plunged this country into a big mess under Bush leadership.

I have the feeling that Obama, being young and talented have the judgement to lead this country. His campign staffers and their strategies coming into this primaries as an underdog and now being a frontrunner demonstrate that his administration will have the best brains this country has to offer for change. Clinton can continue to rein her message of race, divide and sexism, but at the end; Obama will be nominated. Come the general election, there's no need arguing what the American people will vote. Another Republican term? We are suffering and this country image need to be restored.

Both Clitons need psychological treatments from you. You should talk to them. They are very confused and at this timeThe White house does not belong to them. Shame, shame and shame to the Clintons.

Tamba Emmanuel   May 24th, 2008 7:42 pm ET

If Clinton's stay in the race is because of the "Women" of the United States, don' these "Women" also have "Sons" they can stand for and be proud of? If yes! then, for the LOVE of the Democratic Party, and the denial of the Bush third which McCain is bent to continue, please Hillary, see reasons with the voters and humbly step aside.

Abdul   May 24th, 2008 7:42 pm ET

Hillary had no issues when she was ahead in polls. Now after having her
husband and campaign have messed her up, she has resort to race card, women card and I don't think this is the end. She is a bitter, vindictive person. I admired her husband so much that I didn't vote for Gore because he dissed him. Now I see the true color of Clinton's. I like the quote "She will burn the house before she gets out".

the question is–why does Obama think he should win when he can't beat Hillary in votes even outspending her 4 to 1–it is not all about money and superdelegates in the general–you obama fans will have a surprise in November. Hillary/McCain 2008

Hillary ran a great campaign, but the Democrats are obviously getting behind Obama. I, as an Obama supporter, will welcome Sen. Clinton and her supporters after June. She may not become President or Vice President, but we love you just the same Clinton. Obama's group welcomes you so together as Democrats we will kick McCain's butt in November.

2. 2nd name is Hussein!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (are you blind AMERICANSSS!!!!!!)
3. he has been only 4 years in congress, have no experience in major public positions and most of all, HAVE NEVER SERVE IN THE MILITARY DEFENDING "HIS" COUNTRY!!!!!!

If Obama wins I will vote for McCain!

George   May 24th, 2008 7:39 pm ET

I just want to make it clear for the record that even if we were to count FL and MI, Obama still got more votes, more delgates, more states and more contributions.

No matter how you look at it, the race started out with Clinton with a 30 point lead nationally, and a nomination for her to lose.

I bet you virtually all current obama supporters were Clinton supporters at some stage.

The reason millions upon millions of supporters shifted to Obama, the reason he got more votes, more delegates and more contributions is very simple:

Obama is better than Clinton.

How nice is this for a president inform yourself and take the time to be informed before you have this man as a president or do you not care what he will do or say as president as long as he can do a fine speech, well that will not feed or clothe you are make you safe and have jobs . get serious people!

What a snob him and his wife…why is he acting like he won the nomination…no one has..he reminds me of George W Bush..he also said he would unite the country. We did not know much about George when he was running…and he lost Florida too…and did not want the votes recounted….sounds more and more like they are the same….

Marc Wise   May 24th, 2008 7:31 pm ET

It would be nice to finish the campaign with a win in Puerto Rico. But perhaps the alternative is more meaningful: to win in the land of the people who first lived in the United States and whose hopes were often thwarted. That would give an unexpected meaning to hope.

Richard (from Puerto Rico)   May 24th, 2008 7:31 pm ET

Charles Nilston   May 24th, 2008 7:31 pm ET

Hillary Clinton can run as long as she wants.Obama should choose a woman as a running mate(Arkansas governor).It helps eat into Mccain's older strongholds among women,with his strenght among young and independent supporters,nothing can stop such a ticket.In the area of security,he should look for a general to weigh in and campaign alongside with him,promising a watering post for him as an adviser or whatever when he becomes the president.No matter who he chooses in the area of security as vice president,he cant change Mccain's advantage as a formal veteran.Dream ticket can only be possible in a fantasy world,the reality is women should weigh in in this nov election and Arkansas governor can deliver.

Democrat   May 24th, 2008 7:31 pm ET

Why doesn't the media focus on Obama dropping out? He is behind in the popular vote and he'll be further behind after Puerto Rico votes overwhelmingly for Hillary. He can't possibly think that he'll get away with stealing the nomination, does he? Keep in mind that the most trusted voice in the party, Al Gore, has yet to endorse. You can bet that Al Gore will not endorse Obama if he is behind in the popular vote. This will not be a repeat of 2000 where the popular vote leader is thrown under the bus.

chicago rose   May 24th, 2008 7:31 pm ET

After her comment again yesterday regarding 'June time', I can't believe she's still in the race. It's time to go home, Hillary.
Very unprofessional not to choose her words carefully and very callous to have involked those words at this time with all that is happening.
I believe she knew what she said, no gaffe; she ruthless and desperate.
This will be her legacy…she just set us ladies back 50 years.
Sad.

McCain sucks   May 24th, 2008 7:30 pm ET

He will leave our troops to die and suffer in discrase. He will not support the troops as he had demonstrated last week by not supporting the GI bill. He is a discrase to our country and our men in uniform.

He is too old and needs to retire, we will all help him along this year. McCain will be able to concentrate on his re-occuring cancel. He has the best of the best and our troops do not. It is a discrase to our country the way we treat our people.

It will be over on June 4th, lets just keep or eyes on the prize. Hillary has run her campaign into the ground on advice from very close -minded out dated policies and polititions. REMEMBER though, Hillary is a great American and should recieve the entire countries thanks and support in the future, Supreme Court? Cabinet position? She does have many good qualities.

concerned   May 24th, 2008 7:23 pm ET

I voted for Bill Clinton.. twice! Before Obama I thought, hey why not Hillary? After this long fought campain….. WHY NOT Obama?

I am looking beyound the historical fact of his Presidency! I did not vote for Jesse Jackson durning his bid because I did not feel he had the support needed to run our country.

What I I teach MY kids? Work hard, Play by the rules, Understand that thier are consequneces to your actions and the CHOICES you make!

Obanma has worked hard and played by the rules- the consequence of his actions should be that he is The Democratic Nominee and we can choose to ELECT him PRESIDENT of the USA!!!!

Obama 08-12~!!!!!!

FAKE IT TIL YOU MAKE IT!   May 24th, 2008 7:22 pm ET

Another great "value" for our country, thanks to Obama. And another great lesson for our young people to learn!

But trust me, there are still millions of us who do not live by that mantra. We still believe in long and had work, which is the only path to real experience. AND WE WILL WRITE HILLARY CLINTON'S NAME ON THE NOVEMBER BALLOT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

By the way, campain funds are CONTRIBUTIONS or DONATIONS! Get it? It has NOTHING to do with fiscal responsibility of a president. George Bush certainly ran a campaign without debt — and look how that worked out! Unless, of course, Obama will continue to ask for and get our "contributions" or "donatiotions" should he be elected — but maybe he will. I'm sure all the Obama supporters would rally to his call!

karen, Canada   May 24th, 2008 7:21 pm ET

COME ON PURTO RICO, SOUTH DAKOTA AND MONTANA……….GIVE OBAMA ALL YOUR SUPPORT!!!

RULES ARE RULES AND THEY ARE EXPLAINED AND DISCUSSED THOROUGHLY, WAY BEFORE THE PRIMARYS AND CAUCUSES START. DID HILLARY NOT UNDERSTAND THE "RULES"? IF NOT SHE SHOULD HAVE ASKED, ALL THE OTHER CANDIDATES UNDERSTOOD, APPARENTLY HILLARY DID NOT DUE TO ALL THE CHANGES SHE WANTS TO MAKE AT.

I hope the "BRILLIANT" SUPER DELEGATES put their support behind OBAMA (IN THE NEXT 2 OR 3 DAYS), Supers do not have blindfolds on and are QUITE aware of what Hillary is doing as a last resort.

IF for any reason Florida and Michigan is included in popular vote then the 4 caucus states not reporting totals in popular vote should also be counted. When all is calculated one might be ahead by .0000?? or less concidering over 35 million have voted.

Richard (from Puerto Rico)   May 24th, 2008 7:21 pm ET

Mr. maderator, let people express themself, my comment is as true as tomorow the sun will shine. Do not step on the 2nd, amenment. let the truth be heard and read.

The issues are to important to allow the same old things to continue under republican rule. Unite democrats, the world is depending on us. Unite with Obama!

Winston Bailey   May 24th, 2008 7:18 pm ET

Obama has this thing already in the Bank, all he's waiting for is for Hilary to get out so he could go and cash that check and the if Hilary want to continue let her, my only advise to him is not to make any Gafe.

I support Hillary Clinton

Why have the majority of CNN articles of the Democratic candidates been mostly on Barack Obama, and articles as if he his the nominee which no one is at this time.

Woot Hillary

mel   May 24th, 2008 7:17 pm ET

Hillary is wrong for saying do it for the women of the world that
is sexiet. She should talk to Obama about a seat on the surpreme
justices. She is a sore loser and want accept defeat because she
want the white house so bad. She have hurt herself to the VP spot.
She is $30 million in debt,wanting Florida and Michigan so that
she can overtake Obama. My question to Hillary,would she be asking
for Florida and michigan if she was in front,she would than tell
Obama,the rule are the rules. She did not object to the rules when
she thought she was the front runner. Now she trying to change
the rules. You have the democrated party,republican party and the
Clinton Party. She is hurting the party by staying in a race she have
lost. I hope after June 3rd she will get out or after puerto, Rico she
should walk away. I am not going to get into RFK thing,but she is
making a lot of mistake.

rford   May 24th, 2008 7:16 pm ET

Hilary will get out of the race when her dirty tricks are done.
How can anyone respect her after her recent comments as to her reason for remaining in the race?
It is a sad day for women in this political climate.
America deserves Barack Obama as the next President. We need honesty and integrity in our next leader.

Jason Arizona   May 24th, 2008 7:15 pm ET

Yes indeed he is going to take the nomination,

Hillary is feeling what it is like to get Baracked…

Your comment is awaiting moderation.
Puerto Rico…Vote for Sen. Obama, and you will help elect an honest, fair and gentleman. This is the man we've been waiting for that will invite Democrat, Independent and Republican alike to help reshape our economy, our forign policy and our country.

Vote Obama!

Ok, let's try this again. I gave Lou Dobbs a piece of my mind a few days ago and they haven't carried one of my posts since including this article. So, I'll try again cause this is a fair web site unlike FOX. Actually, I suggested to Lou that he would probably be more comfortable at FOX.

I hope the delegates truly do what is best for our country and nominate the best prepared candidate. It's that simple. And the best-prepared candidate is Sen. Clinton.

Sherrie   May 24th, 2008 7:10 pm ET

I hope the people from Puerto Rico see through him; i.e, he has no substance, he will say whatever he thinks you want to hear in order to get their vote, he has the same opinions that his pastor has.

Do not be fooled Puerto Rico. Vote for Hillary. She will work hard to turn our country around.

Jim V - Vancouver, BC Canada   May 24th, 2008 7:10 pm ET

I have never been so intterested in one candidate, Candian or American. Oboma is a true pioneer and I believe history will show him to be a a special leader that will be fondley remembered for generations.

There was a poll taken here in Canada by our national news channel, CBC, the results showed Obama was favoured by Canadians 4 to 1 to be the next American President. 76% for Oboma, 24% Clinton.

Personally I think it is over and have thouyght so for several months but when the Clintons are involved……..you never know.

hillary will prevail,best choice for the people and our country , the clintons ran this country without debt once and they will do it again,she has more votes than any president ever ,the media put a stop to the primary and voted ob from the start,well guess what were not stupid and every vote will be counted including FL AND MI ,IT'S OUR COUNTRY AND IT WILL BE THE PEOPLES CHOICE!!!!!!!!!!!!!

An Observation   May 24th, 2008 7:08 pm ET

I can't believe the trash that is published. This article is one.

Obama might be a winner, but his supporters seem to be from the south side of the tracks.

Think he will have a hard row to hoe, unless they change their hatefulness.

In response to dear old Helen, you wouldn't want your football team to quit in the last five minutes of the game. Girl what is your problem.

Hillary just can't believe that it's over. But sooner or later, reality will set in.

roger in va   May 24th, 2008 7:07 pm ET

I THINK MANY ARE MISSING AN IMPORTANT POINT ON HILLARY'S CONTINUATION OF THIS CAMPAIGN. HER CAMPAIGN IS REPORTED TO BE $20,000,000 IN DEBT. DNC RULES SAY IF A CANDIDATE STAYS IN THE RACE TIL JUNE 3, 2008 THEY CAN CONTINUE TO SOLICT AND RECEIVE DONATIONS. IF THEY DROP OUT PRIOR TO THE JUNE 3 DATE THEY CAN NO LONGER ACCEPT DONATIONS. SHE HAS LOANED HER CAMPAIGN BY ALL ACCOUNTS ABOUT $11,000,000, SHE NEEDS THAT MONEY BACK AND THIS IS THE ONLY CHANCE SHE HAS TO GET IT.

Why does Obama keep tearing the party apart? He is now pandering to the hispanic who he does not give a hoot about. And he KNOWS theres no way he's going to win the general election. Quit boy and let a REAL candidate take this election and change our country.

I am so proud of Him!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ben   May 24th, 2008 6:58 pm ET

Why does the U.S. give Puerto Rico the right to vote in the first place.
Believe me, they do not like Americans in Puerto Rico. That is not to say every Puerto Rican hates us, but more than half do. The Odd part is at least half the population there gets welfare checks from our tax payers!!!!!!! I have been there I know what I am saying!

ada   May 24th, 2008 6:57 pm ET

I was present in this event, the "caminata" in old San Juan. As always, Obama was able to charge up a crowd. He is a true winner! The United States of America and the rest of the world would benefit tremendously. I can’t wait until the day when he is finally declared our next president! May God bless him!

My fellow Puerto Ricans, don't be suckered by Senator Obama's rhetoric. If he is the presidential nominee, watch out. The fact is that Latinos have not really supported him. Of course, with the exception of a few mislead, feel-good Latinos, looking for positions IF he wins in November. Don't be mislead by either Senator Obama or Puerto Rico's crooked governor.

Dennis C Veteran in Texas   May 24th, 2008 6:51 pm ET

He answered: "We are working on it…"

Thank you barack Obama

calfornia for Obama   May 24th, 2008 6:44 pm ET

THE RACE WAS OVER FEB-19. NOTHING HAS CHANGED EVER SINCE. IF ANYONE IS IN DENAIL…………I AM SORRY.

Kate   May 24th, 2008 6:44 pm ET

I think that by remaining in the election Hillary is causing more damage to the Democratic Party and to any woman who tries to run for president after her. And she doesn't understand why people want her to back off….well when you are losing the popular vote, the amount of states won, and the delegate race…you probably should step aside. What we are now seeing is her ego and her inability to accept a loss that she thought she had won a long time ago. And come on…20 million in debt after she has loaned herself…what about half of that? After taking money from Pacs and everything else she still cannot remain out of debt and ahead of Obama in fund raising! Of course now Hillary wants to change the way the primary conducted because she cant\'t win it. Awww sorry, thats why we have a primary. So we can find out who is the stronger candidate.

Priscilla California   May 24th, 2008 6:41 pm ET

Hillary is trying her best to destroy Obama, not going to happen! She is so desperate she will do or say anything to get elected. Like her Robert Kennedy comment. I do not buy her lying coverup statement, we all know what she was really saying, she is a mental case who can not manage her campaign debts or get the right people in place to do so and does not want to admit the party is over. I look for her to pull any dirty trick or lie out of the air at anytime. She will probably cry about sexism and how she is so hurt and all her women supporters will cry along with her just another stunt of hers, that she started in the past
week. For her to say there has been no racism only sexism proves she needs to exit . By the way I am a women who is tried of cry baby Hill.

Hans-Erik Iken   May 24th, 2008 6:40 pm ET

Even if you include FL Hillary would still lose. The only way she can win is if the superdelegates switch to her side in droves, and that seems more unlikely every day.

Having said that: I don't mind if Hillary continues as long as she keeps it clean.

It is just a pity of the people still supporting her with their vote, I think they better start thinking about switching to the winning team and to get ready for the fall.

Obama only needs another 56 delegates to clinch the nomination and that in 3 remaining primaries with a total of 86 delegates. So modest wins and a handful of supers should do it.

colin Le Rougetel   May 24th, 2008 6:39 pm ET

I just hope Obama makes it to the White House, we, all humans, desperately need that new good sweeping Vision. A president has lots of people to help him with the detail, but they are helpless without the Vision.

Bola   May 24th, 2008 6:39 pm ET

She knew that she can not win the nomination, and she did not want any other to win either. that is selfishness. Get out of the race Hillary you are a looser.

Femi, CO   May 24th, 2008 6:32 pm ET

I think by now we should be tired of asking Hillary to get out of the race. She has all the right to finish and there is nothing bad in that. Today, the Superdelegates she was counting upon before they started moving to Obama, are no more important to her. What was not important before is now much more important to her- the popular votes. Can't you see the despiratism? Nothing will make her get out gracefully until she has destroyed Clinton Political bloc that poor Bill genieully and generously built. I just pray she will not destroy the future for Chelsea. I am afraid people may think she will behave like her mum when she decides to come out in future. Her political future is very bright right now if her mum does not mess it up for her. Whatever we do to protect our ambition, we should weigh it with the future of our children.

LD   May 24th, 2008 6:30 pm ET

Hillary is looking for something which she refuses to explain to the voters. She keeps complaining about the DNC Rules that she agreed with when being ahead.

dwho   May 24th, 2008 6:29 pm ET

To tell that a person is experience, just look in the shadow. Obama has been graded that he's not experience. But looking at what he and team of campaigners have done in the shadow, it seems experience does not matter anymore. Campaign debts free. More campaign money raised. More pledge delegates. More states won. Has taken over the supperdelegates lead. Well organized campaign. Let the Pueto Recans put an end to this. Please Pueto Recans put an end to all of the fighting and bickering.

Yes, she is soo Evil; that she would USE the Poor White People to pay her campaigns debts. Educated more affluent people, White people.. have more smarts..:) lol..

She back out ….!!! before she does more hard to the party

Jen   May 24th, 2008 6:26 pm ET

My husband, son & I attended the Obama Rally in Sunrise, Florida at the BankAtlantic Center. It was amazing. Senator Barack Obama has what it take to be the next President of the United States. He really connects with the people. He sounded sincere, and I could tell he really cares about this country and everyone issues. The Democratic Party needs to unite, and Hillary is just prolonging this process by staying in the race. She has the right to stay, but I think she should support Obama at this point. He does have the majority of the Pledge Delegates. I hope all Puerto Ricans come out and vote on June 1st. I know Hillary might win, but as a Puerto Rican myself, I believe that Obama is the right candidate for the White House. Come out and vote on Primary Day. Let your voices be heard.

Mike F   May 24th, 2008 6:26 pm ET

It is refreshing to hear how many democrats have come to the realization that the Clintons are NOT good people and never were. Al Gore said it all when he said he wouldn't run against Hillary because the Clintons fight dirty. Little did he know (or perhaps he did know) that they would be stoop to new lows. It's not easy to arrive at new lows for a former President who was willing to perjure himself under oath, giving the worst possible example to young people in America, and the former First Lady whose greatest qualification for president would be the few years she has served as NY Senator thanks to all the favors for her husband called in during that campaign.

We all know politics is about as corrupt and rotten as anything in American society, and so it's not a surprise to find egomaniacal blind ambition being at the root of some of these people, but we have the right to have had our fill of it from these two hypocritical thugs.

At least Obama provides some HOPE of better things. Another Clinton would be more dirty politics and dress stains that don't come out at the dry cleaners. At least SHE doesn't use cigars… as far as the public knows… but in every other respect she is just as despicable and dishonest as he is and we must strive for something better than another Clinton this time.

Dave   May 24th, 2008 6:25 pm ET

C'mon Obama, let's get PR… then Hillary will have to give up.

GOD help if McCain Wins   May 24th, 2008 6:25 pm ET

"By the way, if Hillary can’t run a campaign without debt, how would she run the country?"

Nothing else really needs to be said, does it?

Geary   May 24th, 2008 6:23 pm ET

We are blessed in Barack Obama to have a presidential candidate who is extremely intelligent, thoughtful, caring and inspirational. He is truly one of the greatest leaders of our time and perhaps of any time. We need the talent and qualities he possesses to restore the prosperity of our country, repair our damaged reputation abroad, and face the great threats of our time including global climate change and terrorism.

Obama para el presidente!

Marco   May 24th, 2008 6:22 pm ET

Obama fought against the dirtiest and most disgusting tricks other campaigns could throw at him and he is winning. The other so-called democrats are acting more like aristocrats as if the party belongs to them. Now we see Hillary doing all she can do stir trouble in Florida, after she herself signed a pledge not to campaign in that state. That kind of behavior is typical of people that are hungry for power and of those who want to represent our issues! Go OBAMA 2008!

PR, WA state   May 24th, 2008 6:21 pm ET

I'm so happy to see Obama continuing to be strong.

Hillary very disappointed after her comments to see her in PR.

MI 4 Obama!   May 24th, 2008 6:21 pm ET

Here's praying the rest of the primaries bring in BIG win's for Barack – every last one of them, and that the supers bring this to an end and throw the remaining support to Barack!

We've got a GE to win and we are anixous to get started!

Barack Obama 08 & 12!

Trenton Sims, Los Angeles   May 24th, 2008 6:21 pm ET

Hellary couldn't think of even one other example of June campaigning besides Bobby Kennedy??

And then she apologises and LIES that she thought Kennedy because of the recent news of Teddy Kennedy's diagnosis.

LIAR..!!!

She said the same absurd statement back in March 2008…

Pathological LIAR… :-(

HOPE–These people will believe my political pandering
CHANGE–The United States of America will become a Socialist nation if I am elected.
He bribed the superdelegates with $20 million for their next campaign. What is he saying to get these people to vote for him?
He should just go back to his corrupt Chicago home town.
If all popular votes are counted, Hillary Clinton is ahead.

David C.   May 24th, 2008 6:18 pm ET

James, Hillary is like the American Idol contestants who really think they can sing and then get angry at Simon Cowell for telling the truth.

She knows the truth, but refuses to let go and admit it herself. In her mind she’s saying, -I’m Hillary Clinton and nobody will get in my way and I’ll win by any means necessary.

At this point, all she has left to lose by staying in is her future credibility within the Democratic party.

Way to go Senator. Glad that the Hypocracy of the McCain campaign has been exposed. You are well on your way.

I wonder how many of Pastor Hagee's members felt the need to, leave the Church when their Pastor made the "Hitler was sent by God to persecute the Jews" statement. Aren't they monolitic in their beliefs as well? Aren't they expected to leave the Church? Or is it just us African Americans? I too have the ability to take or leave whatever my minister has to say. I disagree with some of his statements but certainly not all of his opinions. This should never have been an Issue.

Jean   May 24th, 2008 6:17 pm ET

Where does Obama find the strength to refuse to play dirty politics? I am constantly amazed that he is unflappable.

Hillary squeezed every drop of political position out of the "Bitter remark . She repeated it over and over forcing him to explain it.
Yet when she says her reason for staying in the race against all odds of her winning is " anything" including harm to Obama can happen he refuses to use it against her
If HE had said the exact words she did on Friday she would have been on every talk show in the nation slamming him.

Also the repeated excuse that she said things she shouldn't have said because she is tired is scary. A President doesn't have the luxury of being fully rested before a crisis hits.
Was President Bush fully rested the day the hijackers attacked the USA?

I doubt that JFK was fully rested during the days and weeks of the Cuban Missile Crises when the survival of the North American continent hung on his judgment and every word he spoke.

This the time our country need unity, not alienated for personal interest. It is simple quote, at this time people from around the world knows who will be the nominee from Democrat party. And, all our contribution and energy should focus on one direction to achieve our dream and wish.

James Johnson   May 24th, 2008 6:16 pm ET

America needs Obama, a balanced man, not controlled by ego.

Hillary can’t let go of her ego. I just saw Clintons’ speech in Florida. I wouldn’t have belived it if I hadn’t seen it myself. She is being the most Divisive, and win at any cost, person I belive I’ve seen. This speech should convince the Superdelegates to throw all their votes behind Obama, to save the party from her and McCain.

If the delegate totals were reversed Hillary would be singing a very different tune when it comes to Florida and Michigan. All candidates agreed with the rules and now that she is losing she thinks things are unfair. She needs to get out of the race, quit whining and get a life.

Helen from Puerto Rico   May 24th, 2008 6:14 pm ET

The litmus test to determine how a presidential candidate would manage his/her presidency can be gleaned by how they managed their lead-up campaign. Senator Clinton’s campaign has been a disaster with money problems, internal back biting, poor leadership, race and gender baiting, scandals, party disloyalty and making undemocratic utterances.

How then can she claim to be the most experienced and qualified to take the country out of debt when her own campaign is in the red for over 20 million dollars.

Will smith   May 24th, 2008 6:14 pm ET

The commnents here will not be between Obama and HRC anymore, because we have moved on. lt will be between Mcbush and Obama, let Clinton supporters cont. in their dellusional states. I can't believe Mcbush did not support the new GI bill, 72 members of the senate supported this bill. What a lip service Mcbush pays to our veterans. It is not enough to be a war hero, when you think just like Bush that it is too generous to foot the bill of an instate college for veterans who have served more than 3 years in the military.
I am waiting to hear Mcbush excuse on this and don't you guys see the way Mcbush and his thugs have been attacking Obama on every excuse they get, is this the type of campaign Mcbush and his GOP going to run. It is really condescending, have no respect for your competitor, take leave from Clinton book. She ran the same type of campaign, see where it landed her.

What could Hillary have possibly done to you for you to get so venomous. People are entitled to change who they support without being verbally vile and vicious about it.
So jump on the Obama bandwagon….join the razzmatazz…his latest style is to have music to draw the crowd,followed by his speeches.

Hillary all the way! The REAL THING!

Tyrone Hendry   May 24th, 2008 6:14 pm ET

It is unfortunate that Senator Clinton is trying to change the way the game is played. She and Senator Obama are both strong candidates and would both be a great president. But character is starting to play a big role in the nomination process.

Senator Clinton's character is looking more disfunctional than her conterpart Senator Obama. She looks desparate and unsettled. She is saying and doing things no one saw coming 10 months ago when she appeared to be the stronger candidate and front runner. Again character plays a role. Senator Obama has shown resolve in the crisis he has dealt with during his campaign. He has shown the American people he is a man about changing the country. His character is standing tall in the face of the things needed to be the President of the United States.

For her sake I hope she can leave with dignity and preserve her leagacy as the first real front runner womans presidential hopeful.

Contrary to popular Belief – Puerto Ricans are not Mexicans and do not have the same backgound our friends to the South.

This could be interesting if Obama can pull it off in Puerto Rico. I mean interesting in the way that he has increased his visibility with hispanics. It reall doesn't mean anything, esp. since they don't vote in the general– but it could start a movement w/in a movement.

Adam Nelson   May 24th, 2008 6:09 pm ET

I feel a bit bad for Hillary as she has lost face in this campaign…her fight seems a bit desperate but she is certainly very qualified to run the nation. Obama simply has what the others lack and that is charisma. His words bring tears while the others just seem like the same old negative talking heads. Obama will atract republicans who want to work with him…everyone wants to cozy up to a rock star.

I, agree with every one that obama has won. and i am so happy. but we all must remember that all, of her supporters. we will need some of them to beat mccain. our goal isto win the entire election.all of her people will act very ugly. and blame obama instead of wanting someone other than rep. in the white house. so lets be patiant, and let her do her thing. you see how she keeps putting her own foot in her own mouth. we need the white house for obama and our selves.and votes is what will do it. i love obama and his family.we all have to go with his desitions.and watch him continue to show all of america that he is our man. to change this awfull way that things has gone.here in america. and bring all of our family and friends home.

Why did she agreed before not to count Florida and Michigan???? Go figure!!!!! because she thinks that she'll win because SHE"S HILLARY!!!!!!! FOR ME, THAT'S VERY PATHETIC……

Jacob Gonzalez Diaz   May 24th, 2008 6:05 pm ET

This whole thing is pointless. We Puertoricans are good enough for WWII, Korean War, Vietnam War, Gulf War, Gulf War 2, Afghanistan, Panama and any other wars to come but not good enough to have constitutional citizenship that would allow us to vote for next president of the United States in Puerto Rico. No one here really cares about this because after they collect their votes they will forget about us.

I'm praying for you Mrs. Obama as you perpare to groom yourself for the First Lady's Role.
Hope for Change!

Tony - Indiana Moderate   May 24th, 2008 6:03 pm ET

Let's hope the good people of Puerto Rico have enough insight to see how gone Hillary's campaign truly is now. Hopefully they have saw through the lies that counting every vote will make her the popular vote leader. The only way this is true is if we take two states that broke the rules, where people stayed home knowing their votes wouldn't count. Not to mention, as we all know, he received ZERO votes in Michigan, while she received around 337,000. Come on PR, let's send Hillary a message.

Kea   May 24th, 2008 6:03 pm ET

It's amazing how Puerto Rico can help make history, yet not even have a voice in the General Election. If their residents want to say they helped to elect the US President, they need to vote Obama. If they vote any different, they might as well just stay home, since a Clinton vote has the same weight as a no vote. You wouldn't want to tell your grandkids years from now that you made a mistake by voting Clinton 08, do you?

It seems to me that there are a lots of people with short memories that go around running their mouth about things. I remember that one president walked all around with his wife and finaly won the president's job. What happened there? We had a plane load of american citizens hi-jacked by Iran. The was the only thing the was good on that other farmers getting raises on pea-nuts.

Now we have a man running for President who has been caught in several lies not to mention the preacher he worked with was a radical. He says he didn't know anything about that teaching for twenty years
That is all we know about him and you want to make him President Whats wrong with Hillary. At least we know she won't turn against us. Personaly she is the only one that knows all the crooks in DC. I hope she turns Independent, that would upset the whole apple cart.

KILROY

Robert Nyarko, Apam, Ghana   May 24th, 2008 6:00 pm ET

He's simply the people's choice. Obama is not white nor black, he's an American. He's a representation of the entire American populace and will be a unifier of the polarized American society.

Yes We Can. OBAMA '08

Caroll   May 24th, 2008 5:59 pm ET

Hillary has a right to stay in the campaign. Obama and his naive supporters want her out because they are afraid she is going to keep winning the last few states and delegates and make him look bad. He has already made himself look bad with his wishywashy realtionship to his pastor and his alienating statements to country voters. Also, they want an easy win for Obama rather than have him work for the nomination. Why should she hand him the nomination? I didn't notice Obama handing anything over to Hillary, especially any weak caucus wins. Hillary has won more of the popular vote, which should indicate that the will of the people is more in line with Hillary than Barack. Go Hillary. The better candidate is Hillary.

McCain is right. Obama takes very cheap shots.
Remember how he ridiculed Hillary having a drink in the bar, or carrying a gun or dusting his jacket. It all a patter …his cheap shots..His campaign by the examples above also shows signs of sexism.

CB, NY   May 24th, 2008 5:54 pm ET

This is a good and important tactic for him to campaign there (although apparently it's a lost cause as a primary) – he does need to focus a LOT on the hispanic vote…but he should think outside the Puerto Rican box to the communities who are affected by immigration stances (Puerto Ricans of course are not)… McCain impressed a lot of people with at least a willingness to address that topic. Obama needs to take a clear and vocal stance on that issue also, so that they know what they are getting. If he gets 90% of the african american vote, and 60-70% of the hispanic vote, plus lets say 65% of a well-turned-out youth vote….he is pretty much guaranteed to be president, and can almost ignore the people who would never vote for him because of who he is (liberal mixed-race politian=bye bye traditions).

peace-lover   May 24th, 2008 5:53 pm ET

All 3 major candidates in the US Presidential election are US Senators who keep voting YES to military funding authorization bills. The US Senate could stop the Iraq war, despite Bush and Cheney's love of the war, if a simple majority of Senators voted NO every time a military-spending-authorization bill comes to the floor of the US Senate for a vote.

The Dems say they want an end to the war, but they keep voting YES for funding the war. The Repubs are less hypocritical. They admit they like the war.

But the basic fact is that both parties continue to fund the war with their votes for military-funding-authorization bills in the UX Congress.

McCain, Clinton, and Obama are all guilty of perpetuating the US military operations in Iraq and elsewhere overseas.

Curacao Island   May 24th, 2008 5:51 pm ET

I'm not a US Citizen but we are following Obama all the way to the White House. This guy is verry inspiring and bring confindent back in the world. Wish i could vote for him. Obam the nation island of Curacao support you. In our language we would say "Dal bai Obama" wich means go on Obama.

Never Obama   May 24th, 2008 5:51 pm ET

Still not voting for him.

The move has started….

It is a FACT that Hillary supporters will not support Obama in November IF he is the nominee. This is a sincere movement that has started networking through emails and websites. Currently our projections are just at 50% of Hillary supporters who have dedicated their vote and campaign help to McCain.

Sorry Obots. We want EXPERIENCE. Don't take it personal. It is what it is.

David   May 24th, 2008 5:49 pm ET

Hillary Clinton has this believe that she suppose to be the nominee.
Forgotten that the DNC rules is first the majority of delegates is all what matters.
DNC makes rules before Hillary Clinton became a member of the party and in that rule, a state can vote on a period of time and if you violate it you vote will not be counted.
If she is really for the good of the party without, why can she just accept the party rules rather than trying to change the rules?
How can she want to be a president while she don't even believe in party rules?
Why should DNC make rules if they not enforceable?

Axel   May 24th, 2008 5:48 pm ET

Obama has steel to secure the Democratic Party candidacy; 2026 delegates in total. Sen. Clinton has all the rights to continue with her campaign. These are the rules. Have problem with this; take it to the DNC. “Stop nagging you idiots”.

Ovitshio Branco from Puerto Rico   May 24th, 2008 5:47 pm ET

Clinton has decided that the uneducated white population is her main voting bloc during this primary season. So maybe she thinks she should act like she's from W. Virginia in order to truly feel what it's like to be one of her supporters.
Well now you know Hillary – and it's not a great way to go through life.
So make an appropriate apology, start using your privileged educated background to pull this country together and rise above the racism that you so repulsively condoned for the past 5 months.

We know you're not stupid, so that leaves the country to believe that you're in need of some serious
counseling.

petra   May 24th, 2008 5:46 pm ET

Obama is surely a winner puerto ricans are not stupid people they know who clinton is,,, moreso now that she is revealing herself to be a murderer,,they wont risk voting for her,,,Because only a mentally inbalance person will thumb for hillary after her utterances about R kennedy,,,,no matter how much she pretends to be innocent, or meant no harm,,, only shallow thinking person will buy that from her,, she is just hanging arround to see that Obama get killed and commiserate for a minute,,then demand the nomination,,, evils unto evil doers and evil thinkers,,,,,my father used to tell me do unto others as you wish to be done unto you,, she wishes death for Obama,,,God ,s willing bad things will befall her too,, that shows the type of president you want in white house,,very soon she will pray that all Obama delegates get killed too,,,, useless woman,,, puerto Ricans knock her out,,,, once and for all,,,God bless you all

Ovitshio Branco from Puerto Rico   May 24th, 2008 5:46 pm ET

Today in Puerto Rico Obama said,

"I have learned that when you are campaigning for as many months as Senator Clinton and I have been campaigning, sometimes you get careless in terms of the statements that you make and I think that is what happened here," Mr. Obama said. "Senator Clinton says that she did not intend any offense by it and I will take her at her word on that."

After the way the Clintons' pounced on him after bittergate, I really wanted him to go after her. But hey this statement is what makes him great

tonybama   May 24th, 2008 5:45 pm ET

How's he going to win the nomination if he wins Puerto Rico? Again, like his 57th state, he has trouble with numbers. He's forgetting about Florida and Michigan. This is going all the way to the convention where the Credentials Committee will have to deal with it. Relax Obami, it's going to a long hot summer.

Sherry   May 24th, 2008 5:43 pm ET

Don't get me wrong, Hillary has made me angry several times in this election season, but overall, she is a historic candidate and could honestly have been a much better president than Bush. . . but it's time to get the troops together for the November battle. We have have to win this one . . . the future of our country depends on it. The Republicans have reeked enough havoc on us for too long.

I agree with you, Helen.
Obama has run an incredibly efficient, fiscally sound and responsible campaign. Both McCain and Clinton have had money management problems, and staff turnover.

Obama has shown that he has the management ability AND the right judgement (based on all the management decisioins that he had to make in order to run such a fiscally responsible campaign!) to be an effective and responsible President.

If Hillary supporters vote against him in protest and John McCain gets elected, then they will just be hurting themselves AND their children and grandchildren in the long run. I cannot imagine that they will be so foolish, shortsighted and ignorant to elect 4 more years of Bush!

Puerto Rico – I hope that you understand that Obama has more in common with you than Hillary ever will! Use your vote wisely and vote Obama!
