From

THORNTON, Colorado (CNN) – Barack Obama's presidential campaign is using former White House Press Secretary Scott McClellan's new book attacking the Bush administration to take a swipe at John McCain, connecting what Obama calls "the failed Bush policies" to the presumptive Republican nominee.

"It's not news that this Administration engaged in spin and deception to lead us into a war that should've never been authorized and never been waged," Obama spokesman Hari Sevugan said in a statement.

"The only question now is do we continue George Bush's failed policy in Iraq or do we change it? John McCain is promising four more years of the exact same policy in Iraq that asks everything of our brave troops and nothing of the Iraqi government, while Barack Obama wants to begin a phased withdrawal of our troops and refocus our efforts on going after al-Qaeda in Afghanistan."

A senior aide declined a request to make Obama himself available for an on-camera comment.

Funny to see how this blog exposed all you fake REPUBLICANS disguising as Democrats to cause confusion on this forum.
Obviously you couldn't wait to defend your President Bush, especially now that he's been linked to your candidate Sen McCain.

Republican Party and its candidate is a TOAST in Nivember.

leah   May 28th, 2008 9:15 pm ET

Good for you McClellan – it shows guts to break from the BUSH/MCCAIN GOOD 'OL BOY CLUB.

"The thought of (John McCain) being president sends a cold chill down my spine. He is erratic. He is hotheaded. He loses his temper and he worries me." Sen. Thad Cochran (R-Miss.)

I'm looking forward to intelligent foreign policy, fiscal responsibility, and sound economic policy from the White House.

GOD BLESS AMERICA – OBAMA '08!

I can't still believe that politicians with 35 or 40 years of experience was duped by Bush. Talking abt EXPERIENCE this is not a good Case for CLINTON and MCBUSH

tell little hands oh i mean john mccain to cut the crap& the oracle of delaware i'm sure you look as dumb as you sound don't insult Barracks' Afro American Heritage by connecting him to those scum bags the king i mean queen of england people like you are the reason why blacks& whites dont' get along just like judas was to jesus you are only speaking to cause confusion about the facts believe in your ungodly history all you want the rest of your kind are waiting in hell for you Barrack Obama '08& '12 Change We Can Believe in!!!

minerva62   May 28th, 2008 9:03 pm ET

No Experience, No Substance hmmmm, sounds like what we've had in the White House for the last eight years.....thank God there's no 3rd servings. McCain 's dementia will get him down the first year, he's old, old, old and extremely forgetable.

Whats her name is old, old, old, and another extremely forgetable person....whats her name, the one thats married to Bill?

JC   May 28th, 2008 8:58 pm ET

It would be good for Obama to get to know what war is like.
He admitted he doesn't know war.
Going to Iraq would help.
Hillary already did her sniper fire internship while she visited Bosnia as first lady with Chelsea.

I don't know if it is a good idea for both Obama and McCain to go together.
It may be too big a risk for both nominees even to take the same plane, never mind Iraq. Then Hillary will be all smiling and remind us of RFK again.

minerva62   May 28th, 2008 8:57 pm ET

Obama didn't write the book, Mccellen did and apparently he is on to something. Washington is a buzzzing, besides, McCain is using George Bush's "personal" Philosophy on "how to dupe the public on a war that we"never" should have taken part in.

About Time   May 28th, 2008 8:51 pm ET

Some folks are asking why McClellan did not mention his concerns and thoughts during his time as White House Press Rep. Ask yourselves this, would you go before the media and rat out your boss?
I am happy he confiremed what those of us with emotional intelligence knew all along. This is a corrupt White House ran by individuals with absolutely no ethics, morales, or the values they claimed to have had and drilled into the weak during their vicious campaign. I believe Scott because I felt this to be case long before his book.

Brian   May 28th, 2008 8:48 pm ET

The Choice is simple this fall:

The most important issue rarely mentioned on the campaign trail this year is the gap between rich and poor in America. It is important for two reasons: The gap has, if anything, been growing, and the choice between presumptive nominees John McCain and Barack Obama likely will affect whether it narrows or expands. Over the past half-century, Republican presidents have allowed the income inequality to expand, while Democratic presidents have not.

Pistoff   May 28th, 2008 8:45 pm ET

Fair enough ... McCain's all huggy-huggy with Bush these days.

Chuck   May 28th, 2008 8:45 pm ET

Better a Clinton than another Carter.

Obama can not win the general election.

Justin from West Haven, CT   May 28th, 2008 8:43 pm ET

McCain is a puss, cannot even walk through a market in Baghdad without protection, things are doing great since the surge alright.

mike   May 28th, 2008 8:39 pm ET

Obama is alot smarter and tougher than anyone knows. And, you can bet he will play clever politics when he needs to. They all do. He should continue to exploit the republican ignorance and dishonesty when it comes to Iraq. McCain is building his entire campaign on war experience. Well, then he is fair game with this type of revelation that the whole war buildup was a sham. If he were smart, he would bash Cheney, Bush and Rumsfeld. McCain deserves respect for what he endured while defending our country. That should never be taken for granted. But, he is running for president and must be called out for coninuing to follow an ignorant, criminal policy laid down by the most corrupt and inept administration in our history. Obama will be able to continually exploit this as more people like McClellan come forward.

Brian   May 28th, 2008 8:33 pm ET

It is true..... you can see by the recent statements by McCain calling pulling out of Iraq a "surrender" that he is using Bush logic. Repeat the same statement 15 times in a row and you start to believe your lies and deceptions.

Hillary = white woman running for president so vote for me   May 28th, 2008 8:30 pm ET

Hillary's slogan " VOTE FOR ME I AM THE WHITE DEMOCRAT." Haven't moved very far from the 1800's have we.

Cheryl L. Swaim   May 28th, 2008 8:26 pm ET

Do your homework, Obama boys. There was never a vote to go to war. The vote was to resolve a situation with diplomacy and then only if necessary to use force. The president of our country manipulated the information, abused his power and should be on trial. Hillary Clinton shouldn't be on trial and her judgement isn't so bad. If hers is bad, then so is that of John Kerry, John Edwards, and Tom Daschle. I think the Johns and Tom have shown bad judgement by endorsing Obama.

SC for Hillary   May 28th, 2008 8:25 pm ET

OBAMA CAMP WILL USE THEIR MAMMA TO TRY TO HIDE THE INEXPERIENCE AND THE CORRUPT AND RACISM OF THEIR CANDIDATE, THANK GOD, HILLARY 17 MILLION SUPPORTERS ARE NOT STUPID, AND WILL MAKE SURE OBAMA IS NOT ELECTED AS PRESIDENT. HE HAS DONE NOTHING TO SERVE THIS COUNTRY, HE IS RUNNING FOR PRESIDENT ON HIS SKIN COLOR, HALF BLACK AND HALF WHITE. SHAMEFUL, SHAMEFUL. JOHN MCCAIN 08 AND HILLARY 2012, PRISON FOR OBAMA AND BILL AYERS AND TONY REKSO

Hillary = lies   May 28th, 2008 8:24 pm ET

Look the bottom line is the whole world loves Obama except the West Virginians , rush limbaugh, Lou Dobbs and Hillary supporters. You guys are out numbered. Many non-muslim countries are in awe with Obama. So grow up AMerica ! Get over the color thing he is not going to enslave white people, he is half white. He learned everything good about the world like equality from his white mom who is a really decent human being.

McCAIN SUPPORTERS- Take your old bag with his trophy wife who has spend one too many days in a cage, who is probably not even make it through his first term, to go back to his ranch for a barbeque and retire! I think if we tell crusty face John McCain that he is actually George W Bush II long enough he will start to believe us. Good luck with you fundraising and your empty rhetoric. Seriously though, Scott is actually a OB supporter in hiding!

OB SUPPORTERS- Time to breakout the big guns on these forums!

DAVID ROCKEFELLER IS DESPERATE BECAUSE HIS WAR ON TERROR IS FADYNG AWAY...
BARON ROTHSCHILD'S PUPPET OBAMA WILL WIN THESE FAKE "ELECTIONS"
BUT THE RON PAUL WILL BE THE NEXT PRESIDENT ON THE NEW US ELCTIONS...
BUSH AND ROCKEFELLER GUILTY OF WAR CRIMES AND CRIMES AGAINST HUMANITY.

Really?   May 28th, 2008 8:19 pm ET

Can you HRC supporters learn your facts? Hillary has been an elected official since 2000; Obama has been an elected official since 1997. Ergo, HE has the longer record of service. She was just a First Lady. That's like being the stewardest NOT the Pilot. He has 20 years of public service...and she has been doing public work for 30, but she IS 15 years his senior. She got a head start, duh! But HE still managed to be in office longer than she has, so please stop saying he has only been in office for 2 years.

But, I know this means nothing, because you people do not do well with facts in evidence.

The first of many chickens leaving the Bush Mafia as his failed presidency comes to a disastrous end. The Soviet style this administration drove our government is criminal.

bernice   May 28th, 2008 8:14 pm ET

Why should Sen. Obama say anything Hillary and John are doing a good job making themselves look Siiiilllllllly.

Larry   May 28th, 2008 8:13 pm ET

Why does Obama dwell so much on the past? Where is his vision for the country's future? Is his ONLY tactic to criticize the country and his opponent's? I guess this is his best chance, since he really can't articulate what qualities, attributes and record of service he has to offer.

ANYONE could have opposed the war before joining the Senate and responsibilities in the Senate. Heck, Rev. Wright was against the war, perhaps he should be President.

No...the only question now is "who is best fit to serve the USA as President?"

Obama, it's not you...

andy   May 28th, 2008 8:13 pm ET

Senator Obama does not need to go to Iraq and he does not need to be educated by Senator McCain. McCain just loves telling stories about then and now. Reminiscing. We want change. We want to make our own stories-stories of good times for everyone.

macrazy   May 28th, 2008 8:11 pm ET

i am so sick of the desperate Hillary supporters talking about michigan and Florida. They broke the rules stupid. There making up crap about him to keep Hillary in the race. Hey Hillary why don't you take Bill and toss back a few shots and leave everyone alone.

Well you know McCain and Bush are both white guys. And all white guys look alike don't you know. It's an understandable mistake. Obama doesn't know who the President is. How can you blame him.

Leon,
You are right on about connecting the dots between Osama Obama and Jimmy Carter. Two peas out of the same pod and so obvious, it has been overlooked by just about everybody! The combination of being gutless and naive about national security could be fatal. It cost lives needlessly before. Let's not rerun that dark period of American history again.

Just Sayin..   May 28th, 2008 8:07 pm ET

IMPEACH BUSH AND CHENEY!!! when Obama takes the white house he better put bush in jail with rove and cheney. Better then that, lets give BUSH over to Iraq...

D-CA   May 28th, 2008 7:53 pm ET

Well, it would appear that without a trip to Iraq, or a book, Obama knew that going to war was wrong.

macrazy   May 28th, 2008 7:48 pm ET

My take of Mccain educating obama about iraq. "And over there is where all our oil comes from. Oh no its being blown up by terrorists. ok lets send american troops to get kill for oil. I'll kiss you feet OPEC. Whats that you want me to be your little monkey and raise the price of oil while at the same time kill the polar bears okay what ever you want."

Mark Kennedy   May 28th, 2008 7:46 pm ET

We knew within 24 hours of the ground campaign there were no weapons.

UN knew we didn't have a case.

As a former servicemember ( 1992-2007) with friends in Iraq, htey have echoed the same thought and feelings and facts. You military doesn't want to be there, no matter how much McCain or Bush says that we want to be there.

95% of the American People knew minutes before the invasion that this was Bush's war and that he wanted to finish what his father started! If there is a silver ling to what Scott McClellan you'll have to look at people like Jim Webb and Colin Powell! I'm sure their thoughts and opinion would shed more light onto falsehoods that led to sales pitch for the Iraq war!

Good to Go Scott McClellan ...only if a few more of Bush's cabinet broke ranks!

This is exactly why Barack Obama will win in November! Political Change...and restoration of American Pride!

Sammy   May 28th, 2008 7:43 pm ET

Interesting comment suggesting that John McCain would have handled Iraq differently. AFAIK he hasnt talked about it much if at all on the campaign trail. At least not too many specifics. If he would do little if anything differently then its just the same ol same ol. If he would do things differently then I want to know what those things are and why.

Ron   May 28th, 2008 7:42 pm ET

Campaign fundrasing behind closed doors. Still trying to sell the Iraq war to the Americam people. Propaganda and Deception sounds like a Bush third term.

Vig   May 28th, 2008 7:40 pm ET

Obama and his campaign handlers are turing out to be nothing more than opportunists piggy-backing off of the courageous acts, deeds & words of others. Name one thing Obama has done that has been courageous that did not benefit himself in some way. You can't.

JOHN MCCAIN IS A COWBOY WAR FIGHTER WHO'S MAD AT THE WORLD FOR HIM BEING CAUGHT AND HELD FOR 5 YRS AS A POW WHO ATLEAST HAD TO TELL THEM SOMETHING FOR THEM NOT TO KILL HIM......IN THE LAST UNNECESSARY WAR THAT WE FOUGHT THAT WAS DECIDED BY IDIOTS?MCCAIN /BUSH NO MORE.

Mathew   May 28th, 2008 7:37 pm ET

McCain: I do not follow Bush Policy. I have different plan. I will bring back our young men and women from Iraq in 2013.
But we have a great threat there which is Iran. So as soon as I bring them back form Iraq, I will send them back to middle east to fight against Iran which is greater threat. I know the military power of Iran. They can not aquire nuclear weapon. Iran aquiring nuclear weapon is greater threat to United States.

What went wrong with American Conservatives?

DWB   May 28th, 2008 7:37 pm ET

Obama may be young but is well informed . He does not need McCain to tell him how to run his campaign .

Cheap shot !!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The Obama campaign start totally different way now they are following the foot step Karl Rove
Sorry our votes for Hillary or Mc Cain

Obama 08: Female, 60, white   May 28th, 2008 7:34 pm ET

So McCain's criticism of Obama pretty well eliminates everyone that has been suggested for a possible VP runnung mate. At his age and health, he needs to pick a war vet, and someone old and a political hack as chances are greater for him that this person will need to take over as commander in chisf.

I have a feeling that McCain knows that Obama will be visiting Iraq once it is safe to leave the country with the Clintonites running hysterically around and he is trying to set him up.

McCain is just trying to deflect attention away from his Vet benefits bill which lacks support from many Republicans and from him selling out to Bush so he can raise a little money.

No sane, rational Democrat would vote for McCain.

hrao   May 28th, 2008 7:33 pm ET

Obama was the "idealist" and the "moral leader" according to Kennedy? What happened? Why is he slipping into politics of personal attacks? Sad – is he bringing about "change". Or self promotion and machiavellianism lead him to "tread" the same old path of other "insiders" that he wants to replace?

John in South Bend   May 28th, 2008 7:32 pm ET

What Obama's camp using "old-style politics"???? I thought they were so much better than that *rolls eyes*

Mathew   May 28th, 2008 7:30 pm ET

IF MCCAIN'S POLICY IS DIFFER FROM PRESIDENT BUSH, HOW COME HE IS BEATING SAME DRUM OF WAR AGAINST IRAN, BASED FAULTY AND LAME EVIDENCES, WHICH PRESIDENT BUSH WAS DID? EASY TO BEAT THE DRUM AND SEND YOUR KIDS IN THE WAR FIELD WITHOUT KNOWING THE STRENGTH OF THE ENEMY. I AM NOT SURE HOW MANY AMERICANS ARE AWARE ABOUT THAT IRAN'S MILITARY AND WEAPONS POWER IS SEVERAL TIMES STRONGER THAN SADDAM HUSSEINS WEAPONS AND MILITARY.

Catrina R., San Ramon CA.   May 28th, 2008 7:29 pm ET

That's not attacking. That is merely speaking the truth- let's call it what it really is.

David from Ohio   May 28th, 2008 7:27 pm ET

McClellan's book is the first in I'm sure will be many from insiders depicting George W. Bush and his administration is clueless. As for hip waders, that's what McCain will be wearing next January since he'll have plenty of time to fish in his hopefully long retirement.

mobspeak   May 28th, 2008 7:24 pm ET

ANYONE on these blogs that say they are Democrats while defending Bush and McCain are REPUBLICANS. No Democrat would defend Bush! What is this, some half-@$$ extension of Operation Chaos? It's not going to work.

Shame on Bush, Shame on Mccain

Vivienne   May 28th, 2008 7:19 pm ET

We can't afford this war. And, it's getting to the point we can't afford the correct war, the one we pratically abandoned to go to IRAQ. We better do something different this election year.

It just so happens that Barack is going to attempt to get us out of IRAQ. I think we need to give him 4 years because it will give the country some breathing room. If he can't deliver the change, he will be a 1 term president. The other option is four more years of a Bush like administration. How can we survive another war monger with bad judgment and no interest or desire to address domestic issues?

I can't see it.

Earl Dallas, Yexas   May 28th, 2008 7:19 pm ET

For those that have been told that there is no chance to obtain their hopes or dreams and that it was useless to try look towards Hillary Clinton as a symbolic figure of hope and strength – the only experienced candidate that has solid solutions to our everyday problems.

I attended a rally by both candidates last week – Obama definitely is a speaker, orator and can move a crowd – but once you get home from the rally you wonder what DID he say – only thing I can come up with is he is going to change politics in Washington DC – yet accepts the endorsements from them.

Clinton (although the media is trying to make Obama the next President rather than letting the voters have their own say) was warm, sincere, experienced with her answers to questions and genuinely wants to help us help ourselves – she enjoyed being there with us – Obama appeared that this was a situation that he had to be there but really was looking towards the general election – so just give me my votes and I will move on – similiar to what happened in New Orleans after HE received the black communites votes – was too busy to attend a reconstruction rally later on – Hillary Clinton attended even though she had not received the votes.

I just recently found out that Obama voted for the liquified natural gas pipeline of Bush-Cheney Energy plan where Clinton opposed it – guess he doesn't have to live here with it.

Judy   May 28th, 2008 7:18 pm ET

Hey Vee-Don't get your knickers in an uproar. It seems to me the Dems are kinda sorta gonna need the 17 million people who voted for HRC to try to get their boy elected. Maybe you might want to emulate the graciousness of your candidate;after all, isn't that why he appeals to you?

Ghani   May 28th, 2008 7:17 pm ET

Obama has a point. McCain was nothing else but a whip that the president uses in order to attain his Agenda. He had been always wrong and he is wrong now when he sides with the president and rejects the GI Bill which benefits veterans, whom McCain was supposed to be their advocate in the Congress. He is unrealistic when he expresses that he could be in Iraq for 100 years because even if he is luckily enough to win the presidency for both two terms he has only 8 years to decide whether to remain in Iraq. After those 8 years it is up to whoever becomes president to decide. As a would be American president McCain needs to be careful of the words he likes to share with the American people. He cannot tell the American people to look to the east when he needs them to look to the west. He cannot say to the American people, "my friends" when he denies a veteran an opportunity to study and become a productive member of the society.

John   May 28th, 2008 7:15 pm ET

Glenn D'Abreo   May 28th, 2008 7:12 pm ET

Liberals should just come out and admit that they hate Bush. Nothing else matters. It doesn't matter whether the war was waged on lies, or Haliburton got all the Iraq contracts, or the tax cuts favor the wealthy or "No Child Left Behind" is a failure....bottom line is you guys hate Bush because he beat you guy in 2000 by 5 electoral votes...ouch that must have really hurt. Then again in 2004 he won by 35 measly electoral votes...that must have hurt just as bad.
So come on...say after me.....WE HATE BUSH, WE HATE BUSH, WE HATE BUSH.

See, don't y'all fell better now?

I wonder if the book mentions PNAC...Project for a New American Century...a neocon think tank that wanted to go to war with Iraq well before Bush was even nominated. Bush surrounded himself with those that were instrumental in creating PNAC and writing all of it's propaganda.....Rumsfeld, Cheney, Wolfowitz, Libby, Jeb Bush, etc. Those that know about this project have always wondered about it's influence in the push towards war in Iraq. I'm so glad someone has finally come forward with the truth behind this very corrupt administration.

Thank you because if the other shoe was on the other foot they would come after you with their guns blazing! People get a swiff of this: I do not think that Senator Barack Obama will be afraid of John McCain and he is proving to be shrewd-er just like the REPUBLICANS. I think that they have met their match. McClellan probably did not ruin his reputation for nothing and the way that the White House were vehemently denying everything, there must be some truth to his book.

It is amazing to me how all the Hillary Clinton followers can try to blame President Barak Obama for commenting on a book written by a republican, that could help the democratic party as well as help the american people by possibly ending this senseless war!

Especially when all Hillary Clinton has done during this whole election process is look for negative things to comment on, (BUT NOT AGAINST THE REPUBLICANS, BUT AGAINST OTHER DEMOCRATS, ESPECIALLY PRESIDENT BARAK OBAMA!

Stop it Bill &Hillary and help the democratic party and the county unite!

Vegas Dave   May 28th, 2008 6:59 pm ET

Obama's refusal to go to Iraq or Afghanistan is another fine example of the Democratic Party's cowardice and lack of patriotism. It seems that Obama relishes the opportunity he may soon have to betray the hard work and dedication of our brave men and women in the armed services.

Susan   May 28th, 2008 6:52 pm ET

LOL: he is counter pointing McCains claim on Iraq. That is not attacking. Just proving his point the McBush is wrong. Wath McBush telling us how we tried to talk to Iran for 20 years. The US has had NO contact with Iran since Regan took office. Obama is going to point out everytime McBush is wonr. OBAMA 08!

ginger   May 28th, 2008 6:47 pm ET

Can someone please explain to me why this is news? I knew from day one we should not have gone to war against Iraq. Yes, I wanted Osama Bin Laden captured and tried in our courts, but I was shocked as hell when our country invaded Iraq. From day one this war based on a lie and I didn't need to read someone's book five years later to confirm it.

By the way, some of comments on this blog sound like 5 year olds.

Not fair to use Bush's actions with which to attack Senator John McCain. We all know about Bush's record and his poll tanking with all citizens. This has absolutely zero to do with John McCain, who has a sterling reputation with the American people as someone who is honest and experienced to run our country. And how we need him to restore our good name on the world stage.

People, Read different thoughts then the ones you have always had. Be open to the possibility that while the parties have differing ideologies, they people themselves. for the most part of decent, patriotic citizens. Why must you continue to judge with the most terrible motivations for people. I prefer Hillary Clinton because I feel she will be the most moderate. She has a lot of experience, but will also bring change. I believe she can beat McCain precisely because she knows how to deal with politics. Obama cares for the US and does a war heroe like John McCain. Superdlegates be careful.

What's so difficult to understand? Liberals have a lot money to waste, and they love fiction (see Re-count, or Re-tard for details.) So this book sells. Scott is just being a good businessman by playing to the naive market.

Clinton Supporter   May 28th, 2008 6:40 pm ET

Of course it's unlikely Clinton will be nominated, you sexist elitist pigs running the Democratic Party will see to that. What would be the reaction if we had racist remarks at the level we get the sexist crap? What if someone referred to Barack's organs or put out a tap dancing doll? I bet you boys would be all over it. I'm voting McCain because he hasn't yet revealed anything like the misogynistic views of Democrat "king" makers. If he turns out to be a woman hater, I'll vote for Nader, or I won't vote at all. I don't give a flying one what happens to the Supreme Court, Iraq or the economy. I've lived through these things for most of my life, and I'll just keep on going.

Libby   May 28th, 2008 6:36 pm ET

So typical of the democrats. A bunch of generic fluff and nonsense but no substance. Can anyone tell me what obama stands for?

OOOps, I take it back- he stands for change!!! WOW..... Brilliant!!!! Yeap, that qualifies him to become our president.

We are scraping the bottom of the barrel when someone like obama is actually in contention.... VERY SAD!!

Leon, you are a fool. If you like Hillary, but would go turncoat in a second, then you are a fool. Hillary's campaign represents none of the issues McCain stands for! So you are betraying your own beliefs and convictions if you support a loser like McCain. Don't do it, or you and people like you will be branded fools.

This is one thing I'm asking of CNN. Please compare past Presidential Administrations' Press Secreatary resignations with the Bush's administration press secreatary resignation. If Bush's press secreatary resignations equip to any past administration press secreatary resignation then McClellan lied in his book.
Why did Colin Power resign?
Why did Ari resign?
why did McClellan resign?
Why did Snow resign?
I think McClellan is serving his conscience. He wants to be truthful to the American People.

Agnostic Democrat   May 28th, 2008 6:29 pm ET

Re Roe vs. Wade: The president makes the appointments to the Supreme Court. If McCain is elected, he will appoint justices who will overturn Roe vs. Wade. You won't have a say. Oh well, it's back to coat hangers in back alleys like women used to do before abortion was legal.

McCain is a Idiot. He could run a coolaid stand.

Dems.... Relax   May 28th, 2008 6:17 pm ET

Um, why is everyone saying that Obama's new politics means he can't attack his opponent? His new politics means; not pandering to people, telling the American people the truth, and not PERSONALLY attacking anyone (you know like calling Hillary a liar or McCain a crazy person, even though they attack his character, patriotism, and religion at every turn). He just sticks to the issues which is a new kind of politics because they ususally spend so much time coming up withscandals, we never really get to the actual policies. Also this thing about him "stealing" Clinton's ideas? He's had those, they happen to be a lot alike. Did Edwards steal Universal Healthcare? Obama didn't do the gas tax thing, so no he doesn't copy. They are from the same party, so of course they have similar ideas, keep up with the rest of us, ok?
He's talking about working with each other to get things accomplished instead of this "I'm a Dem" and "I'm a Repub", and arguing so much nothing ever gets finished. So, I agree. I have actually READ all their policies and that's why I support Obama. But if Clinton won I would very reluctantly vote for her because we as a country deserve more. Oh, and if you're one of those "I judge Obama by the people on the blogs" then you are just grasping at straws. I judge Clinton by Clinton and you should judge him by the same.

Hmmm....a very smart political retort. Mccain will get outmaneuvered again. Foreign policy is the main strength for Mccain for this election. However, I hope he doesn't dwell on it too much as McClellan's book seems to backfire on him and haunt his stance over Iraq war.

Koruth   May 28th, 2008 6:15 pm ET

I do not understand the democrats. Hillary Clinton always blame on right wing media and right wing politicians for every thing. This time she can not do that because Obama is more the left than the leftist.

Theses are the people who cried to count every vote against every law in the book, in the year 2000 election. Now the same democrats saying that the votes does not matter - the party elders matter like the Afghanistan tribal elders. What a difference it makes when it comes to convenience and their own benefits.

When you look at the middle eastern history, Obama is right. No Wars changed the minds of any Arabs. They never learned any lessons from the war. We should pull out the troops from Iraq and Afghanistan. Then Obama will go and talk to them. They will listen to him because he is their half brother. That is a win-win situation: we do not loose our troops and Arabs have their harmony.

QuietStormX   May 28th, 2008 6:09 pm ET

This just adds to what I thought of President BUSH and his staff. Liars they are. There was no reason for the IRAQ war. President Bush should be impeached then dropped off in the middle of IRAQ and explain to the American people and parents of troops lost in the lie. The Republicans are toast this November. John McCain let this go on and still support this failed war that should have never happened.

McCain is also TOASTS. This books just slams the Bush's goonies and McCain supported these idiots from day one. So he's going to get so burned come November. He's trying his "bully gaffe" at Sen. Obama, but it's going to come back and BITE HIM in his behind big time.

McCain is STILL having problems with Rev. Haggee and NOW in the news they are tying his buddy Joe Lieberman to the Rev. Haggee biggots!!

McCain is just nothing but a joke, this whole "straight talk express" is laughable at this point in time and is going to become even funnier come November when the Democrats eat him alive!!

All I can say is WOW the supporters of Ms. Clinton must be frusterated AND desparate, they cannot seem to get on the blogs without crying that Ms. clinton would be soooo much better, except for the mnor fact that she is unelectable! Do you honestly believe that come the real election all those Republicans that came out for bush in the last tow elections, all those independants who support Mr. Obama (myself included) would EVER vote for Ms. Clinton? Simple answer not now not ever!

As for Mr. Obama using this book to tie bush to Mr. mcCain, while I do not think it is his best move, I think it is appropriate since Mr. McCain has attacked him over not visiting Iraq as if somehow walking around on a guided tour ssurrounded by armed guards seeing only what is "sfae" for you to see would enlighten ANYONE as to the realities on the ground. Heck for all his visits Mr. McCain still does not know the difference between Shi'ia and Sunni or whenter he has an armed guard surrounding him or not or even if the Humvee he is riding in is armoured or not. visiting doesn't seem to have helped him much.

GO HILL!   May 28th, 2008 5:57 pm ET

Shawn T....I don't like Bush anymore than most dems, my point was, McCain is NOT Bush. Notice how I said Bush's FAILURES????? McCain is a moderate, why do you think the right wingers hate him???? Dems do have tremendous respect for McCain, we moderate dems that is. BO is much toooooo liberal. I'm all for protecting Roe, but making the choice to kill a baby that survives a late term abortion just seems toooo much like out-right murder to me. BO has some very liberal ideas.

How can you call Obama an appeaser just because he wants to bring the troops back home? And this despite the fact that McCain and his team of warmongers want to keep on fighting a war that should not have been fought in the first place!!

Barack has good judgment and intelligence....He will pay heed to the ground situation and plan a careful, strategic withdrawal...But McCain's just wedded to the whole war business and he is holding on to it like an impetuous child who refuses to see reason even when the truth is staring him in the face!!!!

Ghuman   May 28th, 2008 5:47 pm ET

I find the whole McCain/Bush war answers quite bizzare. Initially they had "CONCRETE" evidence to wage an immoral and econonmically crippling war. Then they said, "Oh! we had flawed intelligence"? Well if the later is true as we know now, then what is the rationale to still be in Iraq. Or, this whole intelligence thing was just a SHAM.

The way McCain/Bush are still pouring money into an war that should ahve started in the first place, the only conclusion is that they these people had no intention of looking at intelligence and facts. These neo-cons were hell bent of sending our country to war and are DIRECTLY RESPONSIBLE FOR DEATH OF 4,000 troops and THOUSANDS OF WOUNDED.

Now McCain has the audacity to claim his security experience. How Dare he even try to fool americans again. Experience is something a person takes pride on. Failures are something to learn from; not boast to make fake credentials; something McCain is doing.

McCain is a veteran and a former PoW; great. But this doesnot give him the intelligence or right to be a president. If this was a criteria, then we have a million veterans who can claim to be the President of USA. Afterall, security is the only thing he claims he has the knowledge on; McCain is a self professed novice at Economy. And we need someone who can turn this economically crippled country out of a recession and make people around the world trust us and listen to us.

KE   May 28th, 2008 5:47 pm ET

One of the country threatening to the region and also sided with Hitler Germany which was the enemy of U.S. and other European allies, a majority of the citizens of that country were very much against the leaderships of their own country. The (Imperial) army leaders treated everybody badly. After many decades later people are finally beginning to scratch the surface of what went wrong with the country under the leaderships of that time.

the truth   May 28th, 2008 5:47 pm ET

It's time for McCain to distance himself from Bush, you can do it John, it's not too late, these democrats will ride this story until the wheel comes off and quite frankly McClellan's revelations are not new as we all know why the White House went to war in Iraq using our post 9/11 emotions.

Had McCain been in charge of the Iraq war from the beginning, he would have used enough American troops from the get go, used Hussein's army instead of pushing them aside, and used the oil money for rebuilding. The war would be over by now and Iraq would be free.

vee   May 28th, 2008 5:46 pm ET

First of all, I don't even understand why you Clinton supporters are even commenting...this election process no longer concerns you! And for ANDREW, are you suggesting that even tho' Bush got us into a war under false pretenses we should just "stay the course" because we are Americans???? How stupid is that. It is this sort of thinking that has us in the predicament we now find ourselves throughout the world. There's always a time to do the right thing. And right about now when innocent Americans and Iraqis are losing their lives senselessly because of Bush's lack of integrity is that time. Americans used to be so much smarter!!!!

wake up!   May 28th, 2008 5:44 pm ET

Barack Obama is the biggest follower/people pleaser of them all. If he had the chance to be in the Senate at the time the vote on Iraq was taken, HE WOULD HAVE VOTED TO GO INTO IRAQ JUST LIKE ALL THE OTHER LITTLE FOLLOWERs. He has NO spine and now he's trying to make a platform on the fact that he didn't vote for the war??? WELL HE WASN'T IN THE SENATE!!!! HE HAD NO OPPORTUNITY TO VOTE FOR THE WAR. But since he's such a slimy player, we ALL KNOW he would have voted for it if he could have. He would have ridden old Hillary's coattails for sure!

Firstly, that comment was originally mine. Although meant as a parody, I think it summed up the general outlook of many Hillary supporters quite accurately.

Secondly, the parts about 100 years and Roe vs Wade were to illustrate how radically McCain's policies differ from Obama/Hillary's. It was NOT meant to be taken literally, I had thought that would be obvious.

Lastly, no attack since 9/11? Yes, thank God. But don't forget that 9/11 happened DURING bush's presidency. And do I really need to bring up all his other failures? Your last point was really poor and pathetic.

Extinct   May 28th, 2008 5:37 pm ET

How about this? Obama represents the Democratic party. Done deal McCain is a lame duck, so he's got to be replaced immediately as the Republican candidate. Hillary becomes the Republican candidate. She used to be a Republican anyway. This way we can have a head-to-head, powerful, dynamic, authentic race for the U.S. presidency by the two best qualified candidates, Obama and Hillary.

Obama represents the Democratic pary. Hillary represents the Republican party. McCain goes home, or Iraq, whichever he chooses.

Listen   May 28th, 2008 5:37 pm ET

Anybody with intelligence knew they were lying. Let me see Bush had Hillary approve something without reading it. I guess that makes her dumb too, and you want her to be your leader? I forgot most of her supporters are dumb anyway.

supporter   May 28th, 2008 5:36 pm ET

The Obama supporters are so in to I never supported the war grap that they can not see the truth in what anyone else is trying to point out.
We are very proud of Obama for not voting for the war, but lets get beyond that and face the facts. We have Americans over there that will need the next President help getting out safe. If you keep blaming the War on Bush and not face the truth of where we are at now with his failed polices you will get a lot of people killed over there and then it will be on Obama for playing politics with the war. Politics is all Obama and the supporters are playing with this war and and it is pretty sad, cause they are missing the boat that could help us in the long run.

A woman in the white house   May 28th, 2008 5:36 pm ET

This is precisely why we need a woman in the white house. A woman would have never voted for this war......oh wait! Darn it! Hillary voted for this war.

Oh well...there goes THAT theory.

John in Virgina   May 28th, 2008 5:35 pm ET

Now we've got Clinton supporters defending McCain, saying "I thought he was above those politics." What happened to your arguments from a few months ago: "Obama is weak and can't fight," or "I wanna know if he can take a hit." The comment that was made is fair game because it is on an issue of the country: the war. The nonsense about pastors and religion is a non-issue, unless you are un-American and do not believe in our 1st Amendment. The attacks about answering the phone about 3am are nonsense. They have nothing to do with anything. A comment on an opponent's plan for healthcare, gas prices, immigration, inflation, and NAFTA, are all fairgame. Flagpins and people you know loosly are distractions and unfair attacks. Comparing McCain's stated plans with George Bush's current policies is fair game, as the political party does not deviate much from its motives.

Deborah Evans   May 28th, 2008 5:35 pm ET

The Obama campaign is right it's nothing but a publicity stunt. Obama has heard enought from the General. Nothing has changed in Iraq, the Iraq Army still cannot fight their own battles, they are untrainable, the American's had to step in and help them out in Sadar City. They are still killing each other. You still cannot walk the streets of Bagdad. Crazy McCain wants Obama to to go with him to Iraq? Give me a break! You are so desparte.

leon   May 28th, 2008 5:33 pm ET

To link McCain and Bush as the continuation of the same policy is so naive and stupid in political terms. So we should link Obama with Kerry and Kennedy with all their mistakes and out-of-touch policies they have promoted. We can also link Obama with the corruption in Chicago as he really did not change anything there and did not improve life for thousands of African-American in the community he served for.

We need to link Obama with all the status-qou of the Democratic Party who did not opposed the war from the very begginging like Kerry as Obama himself never created a serious movement to opposed the War (for political convenience) until he started a serious run for the presidency.

If we follow the links we will see who is Obama and what he really stands for: an average politician who uses the average American's dreams to reach his political ambitions.

This book was the best thing that could have happened right now. This gives us more of a reason to unite! We cannot tolerate anymore lies from the White House, no matter who the president is. We need to stand together, and make sure these kinds of crooks never get voted into power ever again.

"Audicity Of Hope" Author Barack Obama

If any book needs scrutiny its this one. He names it after his beloved pastor who supports Black Liberation Theology and Anti American values. He then states in his book in order to "find himself" he goes on cocaine drug binges in high school and college.
What a cop out. This guy is no better able to run a country then the guy you step over every mouring on your way to work.

No Experience, No Substance, No Obama

Patriotic American   May 28th, 2008 5:30 pm ET

Thank goodness some people believe in America and patriotism–you Obama people would not have the free speech you have today if not for brave soldiers dying for you now and in the past. JFK and Abraham Lincoln would turn over in their graves if they could hear the traitorous voices of obamabots. Not to mention thousands of patriot Americans who fought in the wars so you ungrateful wretches could be free.....i actually liked Obama at first–I have since decided he is not only a divider of the worst ilk but not fit to be a senator. Hillary/John–anyone but Obama

Rachel   May 28th, 2008 5:30 pm ET

Oh Obama how predicatable you are let me count the ways. Its so funny that the only thing Obama comes up with to attack anyone is that they like bush or took a picture with bush. Obama lets talk about what you are going to CHANGE instead of going along with the flow that everybody hates bush, so all I have to do is say mean and hateful things about bush.

Hillary's got the goods to win in Nov.   May 28th, 2008 5:30 pm ET

What's funny is that Dems keep trying to link McCain to Bush.

What will backfire is when Reps link Obama to Carter.

Carter is still remembered as the worst president in the last 50 years. Why do you think seniors are voting for Hillary?

Wake up and turn the channel kids.

Lucyna   May 28th, 2008 5:29 pm ET

Each person has its own place on this earth and that is:

McCain – somewhere on the moon
Hilly Billy – coocoo land
Obama – White House

Terrance Miller in Atlanta   May 28th, 2008 5:29 pm ET

I see a lot of Hillary's Campaign is on here posting. Put away your aliases we see you.lol Let it go !! The world doesn't believe you when you say that democrats won't vote for another Demorcrat! A democrat that doesn't vote his party is a Republican.! I know America sees this and I don't think they will take it lightly ,especially if you use this to steal the nomination.

As far as the Book. CHICKENS COMING HOME TO ROOST AGAIN!!

Benito   May 28th, 2008 5:29 pm ET

Let's just give the McBush administration the green light to fight overseas with our future (military men and women) until their blood crosses the vast ocean and hits the shores of the eastern seaboard. Bush was wrong and McCain is even more wrong trying to continue this ugly time line.

Standing up   May 28th, 2008 5:29 pm ET

I think that we should all stand up for this young man. He is being attacked just like the people that warned about Iraq were attacked. This irony can't escape all of the pundits that chime in on this Bush SOP.

OBAMA 08!   May 28th, 2008 5:29 pm ET

To all the Hillary supporters and Obama haters.

How typical of Hillary Clinton to get illegal votes to try and STEAL the nomination away from someone who abided by the rules. Shame on you!!! Hillary is a liar and a cheat and her trying to get delegates seated where Obama wasn’t even on the ticket proves how low she'll go to steal an nomination.

Do you want to be in Iraq for 100 yrs? Do you want our economy to continue to suffer under republican rule? Do you want all our tax dollars going to enormously inflated no bid contracts? FINE! Keep up with your ridiculous arguments about how Obama is untruthful and doesn’t play by the rules etc (which is total BS and exactly what Hillary is) and betray our country and vote for McBush. It’s your lousy conscious!

Peter E   May 28th, 2008 5:29 pm ET

'Positive' message of 'hope' and 'change?' All Obama ever does is parrot those words in between his tirades against his opponents. It reflects in his supporters as well: notice the lack of 'positive' comments by Obama supporters just on this page. If this is the 'change' he represents, I'd rather have none of it.
As a side note: did you know that Obama's slogan 'yes we can' isn't original either? It was taken verbatim as one of the slogans used by the Bush campaign in 2004. Way to distance oneself from 'old' politics! He's just lucky people have such short memory.

Paris   May 28th, 2008 5:29 pm ET

The only thing Obama and his campaign has to say about McCain is that he has the same policy as Bush.
It is time for Obama to find something new to talk about this one liner is getting old.

At least our enemies are afraid of Bush and McCain but they seem to Like Obama. Obama I don’t trust you. I don’t even trust that you love this country and this nation.
Obama still needs to answer what is he willing to offer Iran and Hamas as carrot.

American people need to know what are you offering the terrorist that they like you?

Tiachi   May 28th, 2008 5:29 pm ET

he only said out loud what we all know... failed policies and McCain wants to continue them... the only thing Obama was wrong about is McCain promising 4 more years of such, in fact he committed us to much long - its open-ended. Judging by the comments McCain made in response to hecklers yesterday.

RHP   May 28th, 2008 5:28 pm ET

I believe America should insist that war ought be taken as seriously as it deserves! When young men and women die for what turns out to be conflict based in the deceptive practices of our own president and his administration, the world needs to see that we are equally willing to prosecute the guilty even when it is our own leadership! I'd like to see justice meted out to those criminals with the same dispatch as we citizens endure when we receive a parking ticket. Or is that too harsh?

Hillary's got the goods to win in Nov.   May 28th, 2008 5:28 pm ET

I think it is funny that Barack Obama compares McCain to Bush. I am a moderate dem and McCain is quite appealing to me.

Obama on the other hand seems to be more of a Jimmy Carter with his no experience on foreign policy. Actually, at least you know what Carter's foreign policy is. Obama on the other hand has flip flopped several times on the issue of Iran. So tell me senator, is Iran a big threat or a little threat.

Maybe you Obama supporters would figure out that his foreign policy is a joke before it is too late.

Hillary 08 or McCain if necessary

walemac   May 28th, 2008 5:27 pm ET

very well said. bush lied to all americans about iraq and 9/11. obama was right about bush and mcshame . Go Obama.

leon   May 28th, 2008 5:27 pm ET

To Obama supporters

Your idea that Hillary supporters are betraying the Democratic Party if they write down Hillary on the ballot of vote for McCain is false and antidemocratic. USA is the country where you can vote for the learder that better represents you. I think that both the Democratic Party and teh Republican Party are in really bad shape and neitehr of them have really help to improve the situation the country is now. They both have a lot of common ground.

So it is perfectly right to vote for McCain or for Hillary who at least we know who they are and do not spread false ideas that they are a different kind of politician like Obama pretends to do. Little by little the American peopel is seeing that Obama is a regular politician from the Chicago-school as his Pastor mentioned and was forced to go away from the public view and received the condemnation of Obama.

Obama has no experience, spread false dreams for "CHANGE" and going against the status-quo while being part of it, used it and abused it. By making deals with strong members of the status-quo and by his actions he shows every day the kind of vulgar politician he is.

This country will turn into caos if we elect Barack as our president.

enlightenme29   May 28th, 2008 5:26 pm ET

People, please. This is nothing new, many americans thought this way of our government – Micheal Moore, Zeigmeist?.
Its quite strange how someone of Bush's administration can state something negative about our government manipulating american citizens but if something of the same context is said by someone else, they are labled as anti -american. We as americans are so darn hypocritical its sickening. This is not a polictical tactic to state what alot of americans were thinking and what a bush administration member has stated.

For all you clinton supporters that hate Obama, that is mind boggling for both of them are great candidates figthing for the same but in a different manner. Grow up!

Capt. Smash, Salt Lake City, Utah   May 28th, 2008 5:26 pm ET

CNN YOU ARE BLOWING IT AGIAN. WHO CARES ABOUT HILLARY THIS STORY IS BIGGER THAN WATER-GATE DO YOUR JOB!

PLEASE CNN: STAY ON THE REAL STORY WE RELY ON YOU FOR INFORMATION: 4000 DEAD AND FOR WHAT! WHAT DID WE ACCOMPLISH GOING INTO IRAQ!

THIS IS THE WORST CRIME EVER MADE BY AN AMERICAN PRESIDENT. COME ON CNN THINK, YOU HAVE TO THINK! DO WHATS RIGHT FOR ALL AMERICANS, DIG DEEP THIS IS THE STORY THE WORLD NEEDS TO KNOW!

The media is the real story. . They let us down with Bush and Iraq! They really let THE AMERICAN PEOPLE down.

Over 4000 dead, what do you say to those families? BUSH, MCCAIN and CLINTON, need to apologize to all AMERICANS for sending them to there death's! Bush should be removed from office ASAP. Congress should start the Iraqi WAR hearings immediately find the truth please behind this WAR! Remove Bush from office, this will show all of America, the government still works for the good of the people. George Bush has destroyed the creditability of the presidency; even 4000 times worse then Bill Clinton and Monica scandal. If we ever need to go to war again how can we trust congress and the White House to do the right thing?

The only way congress can restore there creditability; as a functioning body of this government, is to hold formal investigations in this horrible American tragedy the Iraq War. I feel so bad for those families that give there loved ones to this American tragedy, THE IRAQ WAR!

Good for you, Barak. Always pointing out everybody else's faults so you don't have to 'fess up to your own or talk about real issues. Your supporters are as dumb as door knobs because they look at your youthful smile and tune out your words. Oh, that's right, all of your supporters are deaf from listening to their i pods all day long instead of reading books and newspapers.
CLINTON rules!

Linda31   May 28th, 2008 5:25 pm ET

MCCAIN VOTED TO KILL 4000 AMERICANS, FOR WHAT?

CNN YOU ARE BLOWING IT PLEASE DO YOUR JOB! STAY ON THE BIGGEST STORY SINCE WATER-GATE.

The one thing about Saddam Hussein he took no S**T from any of these people that are controlling Iraq now! Yes he was a nasty dictator that used the chemical weapons that the US gave him back in the 80’s to kill Kurdish threats and Iranian Solders. You see Saddam Hussein seen these people as threats to has regime and government, he knew how to handle these people. Further, Iran was scared to death of him and did not dare to step foot Iraq. We could have used Saddam Hussein as a puppet if we were smart! We could have paid him to do our dirty work with Al Qaeda and Iran like we did in 80’s when Regan was president. Bush does not know how to think on that level he is to arrogant and stupid to know he had everything going for him after 9/11.

You see by keeping Saddam Hussein in power until we got off of fossil fuels would have been the smart and prudent thing to do. We could have positioned ourselves to deal with him on another level at a different time. Bush just made the most bone-headed foreign policy mistake in our countries history hopefully the next president can get us out of this mess.

4000 AMERICANS DEAD AND FOR WHAT?

Mat   May 28th, 2008 5:25 pm ET

Obama needs to focus on the fact that Hillary is still in this race – if he keeps acting like he's won this thing he could be in for a real shock! He needs to say something and bring a real fire storm to the DNC as Hillary is kicking and screaming all the way to the confrence! If he lets the media fan her flames he's going to get a shock – Don't ever count the Clintons out -

Anonymous   May 28th, 2008 5:24 pm ET

Obama's campaign is right it's nothing but a publicity stunt. Obama has heard enough from the General. Things are not better in Iraq you still cann't walk the streets of Bagdad. The Iraq Army still cann"t fight their own battles, the American's had to step in and help out in Sadar City. The people are still killling each other and crazy John Macain want Obama to risk his life and go to Iraq with him? Give me a break!

in a few days no one will care about Scott McClellan ; Obama will have to get back to the issues and addressing what experience has has and what he has done that's so difficult to prove he's Presidential material

This is not the primaries people...This is our livelyhood in danger here..Obama has the right to link McCain to Bush cause McCain backs up everybody bush says. Step into him Obama..Step into McCain Hard!!

PS   May 28th, 2008 5:22 pm ET

The book isn't even available yet – so how can anyone be commenting on it? A few exerpts? Interviews with the author?

And the exerpts and interviews are of course selected to generate sales....

Also, it doesn't matter how we got into the war – we are there...

So, we can pull out and have another disaster like Viet Nam (for those of you who don't remember what happened after April 1975 – you should look it up – Wikipedia has it – look for "Socialist Republic of Vietnam " – our allies there were put in "reeducation camps" – a humanitarian crisis developed) –

so we need a SOLID military exit plan – this calls for someone with military judgement, not political glibness....McCain backed the surge, which is why we are now WINNING in Iraq....

Mark   May 28th, 2008 5:22 pm ET

Has anybody thought to ask white side of the bed the phone is on because if Hillary becomes president I think Bill will be closer to the phone then she will

DJ, LA, CA   May 28th, 2008 5:22 pm ET

Obama doesn't want to be a divider and get too aggressive against Bush right now.

I can understand his viewpoint in not wanting a distraction with a long protracted battle over impeachment.

However Bush is a lameduck and nothing is getting done in Congress right now anyway until he leaves office. All Bush does is veto every bill that Congress tries to draft.

The Democrats should seriously start to consider impeachment hearings. The evidence is mounting that Bush/Cheney sold a pack of lies and intentially misled the public AND Congress.

t for 2   May 28th, 2008 5:22 pm ET

HYSTERICAL! Use a book about someone else to judge someone else. Um, wake up? McCain and Bush are two SEPARATE people with differing opinions and ideas. The fact that Obama has to resort to using this book to point fingers at McCain is wholeheartedly ridiculous! It's NOTHING like Obama's deep-rooted connections and mentorship with the good Reverend Wright. NOW THAT was a disgusting and questionable relationship!

Jan   May 28th, 2008 5:22 pm ET

It is funny that Mr. Obama is critical of the "spin" tactics used by the Bush White House, because I find that his campaign is the master of "spin". The Obama campaign makes Rove and all those involved in the Bush White House spin look like amatuers. This country is going to be in big trouble if we wind up with an Obama White House.

YEAH BABY!!!!!

No matter what, for the next four years I am going to turn off the media because all this is getting childish and stupid.

I dare you to disagree.

Why can't other people see this?   May 28th, 2008 5:20 pm ET

We all know that why we got into Iraq was a total lie and horrible...

A majority of us want out, but McCain is one of the few that want to stay.

It is NOT a continuation of lies. It is a continuation of what McCain sees as US responsibility for defending democracy and oppresing tyranny. Obama wants to set dates of withdrawl... this is essentially it on their Iraq stance.

It is not a McBush thing or a "McCain is purely evil" or some other garbage you call it. That's it. It has NOTHING to do with President Bush. But the ignornace of many of you make it that way.

I feel sorry for a great many of you that blog hate on this subject, because apparently that's all you know, and I pity you.

Pat M   May 28th, 2008 5:20 pm ET

So good to see Obama's negative attack tactics finally front and centre in this Campaign. Of course he downplay these same tactics or blame his need for them on one of his opponents.

This book by Scott McClellan is gift sent from heaven for Barack Obama.

When has this war become illegal? The U.S. Senate voted in favor of going to war! It doesn't matter now if it was the right thing or the wrong thing to do: We are there now, and we need to finish the job and support those that are serving our country proudly!

As far as Obama visiting Iraq; Obama should if he wants to be the President, this is what Presidents do! Lincoln did it, as did Roosevelt and Nixon.

You are not very smart.
Would you rather have another attack on Americans? Or have McCain go in, fix Bush's FAILURES, and succeed? You can say all you want about the last 7 years, but ONE thing is for sure, NO ATTACK has happened on American soil since 9/11. I also believe our ships/ports/bases have also been well protected.

Shawn   May 28th, 2008 5:18 pm ET

Texas Vet   May 28th, 2008 5:18 pm ET

McCain seems a little too unstable and short tempered to be the President and Commander in Chief.

Beware of Politicians that think they are Generals and Generals who think they are politicians.

Some of the best Commander in Chiefs did not have military experience. That includes Lincoln and FDR, but does not include Bush, He was dumb enough to let Bremer, Cheney, Fife, Rumsfeld, Slocombe.and Wolfowicz with no military service plan and run the Iraq War. Yes, Rumsfeld was a Navy Pilot but he never saw combat

The sign of a great Commander in Chief or President for that matter is who he selects for his cabinet, is willing to listen to expert advice, quickly admits mistakes and fixes them. Bush certainly doesn’t fit that mold and McCain with all his vaunted experience doesn’t seem to fit that mold either. I actually considered voting for McCain when he ran against Bush, but he is not the same man.

Obama surrounds himself with highly qualified people and listens to their advice before he makes a decision. In many ways his strategy in running his campaign is an indication he will be an excellent Commander in Chief and President.

Independent for Obama   May 28th, 2008 5:17 pm ET

Agreed. Even if it is empty change, like a number of people like to say, it CANNOT be worse than more of the same...

Davind King   May 28th, 2008 5:17 pm ET

He may not even live until November!

It seems rather odd that a man who is increasingly relying on "modified" stories and explanations to make his points and excuses, and who has no qualms about tossing his great uncle's mental illness into the public awareness is complaining about deception and spin to achieve ends. The only change Obama brings is a new set of deceptive stories.

Anthony Nagel   May 28th, 2008 5:15 pm ET

Senator Obama is really taking advantage of this McCellen situation in attacking Senator McCain.

Is McCain even qualified to be president? I noticed he wasnt even born in the United States but rather the Panama Canal Zone. I thought one of the qualifications of being president was to be a natural born citizen. Someone should research this.

Anthony.

From the outside looking In.   May 28th, 2008 5:15 pm ET

Dear American idiots:

Vote for McCain and keep spending Billions of dollars to clean up the mess you made in Iraq. Forget about the economy, forget about health care and forget about the Billions of dollars that have gone unaccounted for in Iraq; because it has become apparent that your own personal social insecurities are far more important than what's best for your country. I don't think any of you have fully comprehended the amount of damage your current president has done to your country. If you can't come together as a nation and start being honest about all the burdens your country is facing right now ............well, I guess you don't have anyone else to blame but yourselves.

"The only question now is do we continue George Bush's failed policy in Iraq or do we change it? John McCain is promising four more years of the exact same policy in Iraq that asks everything of our brave troops and nothing of the Iraqi government, while Barack Obama wants to begin a phased withdrawal of our troops and refocus our efforts on going after al-Qaeda in Afghanistan."

MAN! IS THAT THE ONLY STATEMENT YOU GUYS CAN EVER MAKE? Axelrod must be busy - grooming McClellan to be his next puppet!

Thore   May 28th, 2008 5:14 pm ET

Obama's campaign continues to wage typical politics of a loser – attack, attack, attack – because he does not know the issues. Obama is so out of his element as he tries to read prepared speeches attacking McCain. Whenever Obama tries to share personal experiences he does not even know who he is, himself. Obama continues to fall in National Polls against McCain and Hillary is strengthening in the National Polls against McCain. This trend of Obama's weakness has been going on for months and Obama's campaign is trying to hide his weaknesses by continuing their relentless attacks in all 57 states, or whatever Obama thinks.

Hillary '08 or McCain will wipe out Obama in the general election – the liberal elites will display their poor judgment again, if they choose Obama for the nominee.

Ryan   May 28th, 2008 5:14 pm ET

David, Santa Rosa, CA   May 28th, 2008 5:14 pm ET

Take em' down Barack! Scott McClellan will be the new hero of the Democratic party. Can you imagine how awful things must have been in the GW White House? I hear George is very personable, but his arrogance and his total incompetance as a leader drives me up the wall. We should have known things were bad when Colin Powell resigned.

RICK FERRY   May 28th, 2008 5:13 pm ET

if you think G. Bush is a lame duck president then you are in for
a big surprise if Obama is elected. Obama is the (present) man
and he has no idea how too run this country. Obama has a silver
tongue that is really split.

Dave C - NJ   May 28th, 2008 5:13 pm ET

PLEASE B-NYC...are you the same clown that says the primary is being stolen with "nonsense about delegates?"

There IS NO POPULAR VOTE IN A PRIMARY, FOOL!

Why so you can soundbite him?

obamamama   May 28th, 2008 5:13 pm ET

He never sponsor any legislation,never had any hearing on a subcommittee he heads,3 month after winning his senate seat he runs for another office.other than that I have no problem with Obama.he is great at his job.Time for an independent run for Hillary.don't let this empty suit fool you.not been to Iraq in 2 years? no problem,a speech can solve anything.now where is that speech.

Karen   May 28th, 2008 5:12 pm ET

Interesting how when McCain says anything about Iraq or Obama visiting if he thinks he is going to be commander-in-chief then it's called a "political stunt." by the Obama camp. The Obamaniacs are the biggest liars and hypocrits on earth. Dirty politics covered up to look like the "new" politics. Take your sheep and go back to Chicago.

BillJ   May 28th, 2008 5:12 pm ET

Obama please stop all the fightin.......Hillary .......................08................
CNN stop deleting my point of view.

KE   May 28th, 2008 5:12 pm ET

Sen. Obama cannot debate but he thinks he can persuade Iranian government. Men have been in the political arena for a long time, debate is part of their life. Women are still learning how to debate in the political theater and learning how to treat same sex in the different settings, but they do debate.

This is one of the biggest problem Sen. Obama faces and I hope his supporters see this seriously.

Shawn   May 28th, 2008 5:12 pm ET

unite the dems, i see you're recycling MY comments.

no problemo, glad you agree ;)

JO   May 28th, 2008 5:12 pm ET

Go Obama Go ... go back to Cook County, Illinois where you belong with all the crooked democrats! McCain IS NOT Bush !

Sam George   May 28th, 2008 5:11 pm ET

That President Bush made a fool of peace loving Americans and for that much the rest of the Western world is an under statement. Thank God the truth has finally come out. This was going to come out one way or the other anyways. McCain is as desperate to prove a point as Mrs Clinton. Has has lost the election even before is started. The just thing for him to do is to come out and say with dignity that all those who voted for the war got it wrong and say boldly to peace loving Iraqis that they ( McCain and Mrs Clinton) are sorry. The world would forgive them and life would go on. Obama would bring a wave of change and respect to the American people once again.

BillJ   May 28th, 2008 5:11 pm ET

Once a loser always a loser.........McClellan is for sure a loser.

So Obama fans don't get all juiced up over this loser.

kenny cole   May 28th, 2008 5:11 pm ET

THIS IS JUST THE BEGINNING I THINK MCCAIN SHOULD JUST GIVE UP NOW AND NOT WAIT TILL NOVEMBER BECAUSE LISTEN TO ALL THIS MAKE THE CITIZEN ANGRY AND MAKE THE MILLITARY MORE LIKE A FOOL

BillJ   May 28th, 2008 5:10 pm ET

If obama had an ounce of sense he would not believe a republican
like mcclellan..he is only trying to sell books, most likely bush
will not purchase one.

Liar, Liar pants on fire   May 28th, 2008 5:09 pm ET

Okay CNN, I missed where Obama used the book...where was that. When did he mention the book? He has always stated the "failed Bush policies" but how is that mentioned the book?

SOME white folks are always changing the rules, the truth and anything they can to make things in their favor. Sad.

Kate   May 28th, 2008 5:09 pm ET

I find it so enlightening that people think those that support Clinton or even Clinton herself is destroying the democratic party. Just because people favor a canidate or that Clinton still wants to run her campaign, that she is dividing the party. People don' t get divided based on the actions of others. If Obama gets the nod it is up to him to win the vote he missed out on in the primaries. It has nothing to do with Clinton or Clinton supporters. He wasn't getting the vote to begin with, Clinton doesn't have a strong hold on her supporters to ditch the democratic party. That is why we have primaries, so everyone can run who wants to run and so those who want to vote for a canidate of their choice has that opportunity. If the democrats lose in Nov. It is the vote of the people who did that, not a primary full of more civility than has been seen in history. I hope Dems recapture the white house, for me I hope it is Clinton. However, if Obama is the nominee then I will vote for him as long as his policies are on scale with my needs. That's how it works people.

GO HILL!   May 28th, 2008 5:08 pm ET

How many times will BO use Hillary clinton's policies and talking points? He sat by for months and said NOTHING but hope, change.....and then when people started asking him WHAT CHANGE? He started reciting Hillary's policies and ideas. He's a Joke.

RuthieM   May 28th, 2008 5:08 pm ET

I think it's time for Obama to be harsher than that. If angry McCainbush can act like a bulldog for supporting a lie than suely Obama can be a pitbull in supporting the truth and going against that lie!! Go toe to toe on this issue Obama, you are correct and don't back down, we got yer back!!! Bring 'em home, bring the troops home.

R.I.F.   May 28th, 2008 5:07 pm ET

For all you Clinton supporters who are saying mean things because the Obama campaign made comments to the bok...please read:

Matthew Berger reports Bill Clinton said of the book, "I haven’t seen it. I haven’t seen it, but I think, from what I read, it seems to confirm what Joe Wilson has always said about his own experience. And it shows all the more why it’s important that we change the direction of the country and pick the best president. "

MCCAINTHEOLDMAN   May 28th, 2008 5:07 pm ET

IT IS SO SAD THOSE SO CALLED CONSERVATIVES THAT I CALL FALSE CHRISTIANS ARE GOING TO VOTE FOR MCCAIN AGAIN REGARDLESS WHAT HIS POLICIES ARE AND MAJORITY OF THEM THINK BUSH WAS A GOOD PRESIDENT THIS PEOPLE ARE A DISGRACE TO OUR NATION.

B - NYC   May 28th, 2008 5:07 pm ET

We were ALL led to believe that Barrack Hussein Obama did NOT support "politics as usual"... What is this???

Amazing that people even accept his lies.

randy   May 28th, 2008 5:07 pm ET

This just the start of what john mcain will see in the fall.please cnn post my comment for once PLEASE!

Andrew   May 28th, 2008 5:07 pm ET

Look Obamidiots.

It was a mistake going into Iraq, George Bush has to take that up with God since the blood of over a hundred thousand innocent civilians stained his hands.

But we are America and cannot just leave. We don't just go in and slaugher people like cattle and leave them hanging high and dry.

We have to complete the mission. Powell said, "You break it, you own it".

Olivia   May 28th, 2008 5:07 pm ET

I too have been wondering if there is a link between McCellan and Obama. Are things beginning to get more bizzarre?!

GO HILL!   May 28th, 2008 5:05 pm ET

BO is typical old-Chicago-style Politics. Nothing more.

Noah   May 28th, 2008 5:05 pm ET

Obama attacking...thought he was above this kind of politics. Guess the mask is coming off and about time. If Americans are smart, they will send this junior senator back to congress, let him get some experiance, learn some world history, then run for President. This country needs Hillary Clinton..if not her, the next best thing just might be John McCain.

You can not trust the Obama Campaign. They have been lying from day one. They have proven over and over that they are politics of old.

You have all been brainwashed.

Dylan   May 28th, 2008 5:05 pm ET

I find it shocking and appalling that some militant Hillary supports use Obama's attacks on McCain as leverage for defending both McCain and the Bush Regime.

...and you people consider yourselves Democrats?? What has Hillary done to your common sense?

BillJ   May 28th, 2008 5:04 pm ET

Stop crying obama..................mccain is not bush period.

Hillary fro President.

MD   May 28th, 2008 5:04 pm ET

There is no need for the Obama camp to jump on this band wagon. They should be above this kind of campaigning. Let's not use unsubstantiated remarks.

McCane's health may not allow him to campaign all the way to November. He seems like he can't even walk straight.

Kia   May 28th, 2008 5:04 pm ET

Nice, nice, beautiful strategy.

Bob Stephens   May 28th, 2008 5:03 pm ET

Bush has managed to kill hundreds of thousands of people since the Iraq War started. I wouldn't want to be him, on judgment day.

Proud American   May 28th, 2008 5:03 pm ET

Republicans are in such bad shape democrats can just sit back and watch them dissintergrate. Only the insane would want another 4 years of this crap.

GO HILL!   May 28th, 2008 5:03 pm ET

McCain is NOT Bush! Not even close!

Brian Knoxville, TN   May 28th, 2008 5:03 pm ET

Obama is so handled by his advisors. The biased media was beginning to figure out just what an Obama presidency would look like–with his aides constantly shielding the lightweight from the public and the media–during the Rev. Wright fiasco, which was horribly handled by Obama.

As a Democrat, I hope Hillary Clinton gets the nomination. But if this lightweight neophyte does become the nominee, they better come up with something better than "McCain will continue George Bush's failed policy in Iraq."

Not being George W. Bush was not enough to get Al Gore elected President of the United States before 9/11 and the invasion, and not being George W. Bush wasn't enough to get John Kerry elected President of the United States after 9/11 and the invasion.

If Obama becomes the nominee of the Democratic Party, the Party will be in serious trouble.

HILLARY CLINTON '08

therealist   May 28th, 2008 5:03 pm ET

Democrats inability to deifier decide and spin from reality is exactly why they must never again be trusted with America's National Security!!!

It is legitimate.

The man has some dignity left and now

he should do the right thing and

join Senator Obama to restore the image of America.

You're KIDDING!?! Bush LIED?? People DIED??

AZM   May 28th, 2008 4:58 pm ET

"exact same policy in Iraq that asks everything of our brave troops and nothing of the Iraqi government,"

What a clueless tool... come on over and have a look... 90% of the coalition getting tore up is Iraqi... what a rediculous statement... obviously from someone who isn't aware of the situation... which isn't surprising considering he will not come see for himself.

No Bama... NO WAY

Andrew   May 28th, 2008 4:58 pm ET

We do need change in Iraq. We need to send Obama's uncle over there to liberate the country.

libby   May 28th, 2008 4:57 pm ET

The Obama camp, knows a liar when they see one!
He is typical of you, he makes up stories, with no
reference or authenticity.
Shows your weakness, that is catching up with you,
do your own research.

Sammy   May 28th, 2008 4:57 pm ET

I basically read that comment as saying this new book isnt telling us anything that millions of people already believe. it wasnt like last week we thought it inconceivable that Bush used spin and deception and this book is somehow a revelation.

Karen from Texas   May 28th, 2008 4:56 pm ET

This is the right thing to do!! All democratics understand this. For all Hillary supporters who would like to destroy the demo. party because your candidate lost should really hear for the GOP team directly what you will be voting for if you decide to vote for McSame. Take you pick and live with it!!!!!

Obama 08

unite the dems   May 28th, 2008 4:56 pm ET

Clinton supporter's arguments:

1) 'Obama should drop out because he can't win the general.'
- never mind that hillary can't even win the primary.

2) 'Obama has no experience.'
- as opposed to hillary's 'experience' as a first lady?

3) 'Obama is not trustworthy'.
- as opposed to hillary who lied, slung mud like a champion, flip flopped, lied some more, changed rules mid game. (bosnia sniper, chelsea jogging, race card, feminist card, agreed to FL and MI disqualification when it suited her, discounted EVERY economist and sided with the opposition to support the gas tax relief, does not want caucuses counted)

4) 'We will vote for McCain (and 100 more years in Iraq and $10 gas and roe vs wade overturned) even though we are democrats and even though Obama and Hillary have identical positions…because supporters are mean!'
- I don't even know what to say to this.

Marcus B. POST MY COMMENT   May 28th, 2008 4:56 pm ET

That's right Obama! You should link them together because they are the same. I love the joke you made about the Republican Presidential Nominees fighting to see which one "could out-Bush the other!" The reaction of the White House is enough to tell you that McClellan's book is on to something, They are all running around like chickens with their heads cut off, trying to attack his credibility. One lady even went as far as to say that McClellan was not in the know. My question is, if the press secretary is not present for all of the briefings with the Sec'y of Defense, Sec'y of State, and the National Security Advisor, what the heck is doing speaking for the President at press conferences. That is exactly the point his book is making. The Bush administration deliberately kept info from McClellan, fed him half-truths, and them pushed him in front of the microphone. The Bush administration is a joke and the same goes for a McCain administration. And them McCain says today that he hates and detests war. If that's the case, why did you go?!?!?!? I hate war! I hate foreign conflict! I hate killing innocent civilians in other countries. I hate our soldiers being injured and dying everyday! And do you know what I'm not doing?????? GOING TO THE MILITARY!!!!!!! If you hate something, what possesses you to take part in it. If you hate homosexual affection, would you lay down with someone of the same sex? If you hate abortion, would you send your daughter o get one if she happened to have an untimely pregnancy? If you hate lobbyists and their political influence, would you put some of the biggest names in lobbying in charge of your campaign? Well, in John McCain's case, the answer would be yes!

OBAMA '08!!!!!

Conservative Buyer- CA   May 28th, 2008 4:55 pm ET

McClellan hits it right on the nail. Nothing more true could've been only screwed up by GWBush and his goonies.

On top of that GWBush has all this blood in his hands. Only someone like him could not have conceived another possible outcome which could've made him a ground breaking legendary US President.

Instead we are EVIL and allowed ourselves to believe in GWBush.

That's why our next leader has to be able and see beyond the horizon of what is at hand.

STOP McCAIN WHILE GOD STILL LOVES US.

Silence Dogood   May 28th, 2008 4:55 pm ET

This is just like Obama – always use someone else to do the dirty work! And then he can say "I didn't say that". His attacks are always like a mobster. When he wants something nasty said, he finds it already said like here, or he gets someone to get someone to say "monster" or worse.

Hateful, smiling, empty suit, speaking to blank staring cult members.

Then he can act all righteous and half heartedly sort of condemn the comments. If it turns out the book is untrue or exaggerated, he will be all "that doesn't have a place in ahem, ahem, blah blah."
And in 5 minutes, the cult will deny it even happened.

"A senior aide declined a request to make Obama himself available for an on-camera comment." Real stand up guy.

KK   May 28th, 2008 4:54 pm ET

If the truth hurts...

Gerry   May 28th, 2008 4:54 pm ET

This book is a huge issue and Obama is right to tie it back to the failed Bush/McCain policies

Debby   May 28th, 2008 4:53 pm ET

Yeah this is from a campaign that doesn't want to know whats going on in Iraq and calls it a political stunt for Obama to visit. What a bunch of morons. Obuma can't even comment because Axelrod hasn't written down what he should say. hahaha

anna   May 28th, 2008 4:52 pm ET

Chaos   May 28th, 2008 4:49 pm ET

Looks like Obama is too scared to speak or debate without someone writing him a script! Just like Bush relies on all his aides to do things for him!

Billie Ames   May 28th, 2008 4:49 pm ET

First, Bush's policy in Iraq has not failed. Just because Obamadolph says it doesn't make it true. Everything that idiot Obama says is suspect.

Sadie   May 28th, 2008 4:47 pm ET

Ahh, it's so strange to hear the truth from politicians for once.

Michael   May 28th, 2008 4:46 pm ET

I think the American people knew all along this war was bases on spin and deception. I wish it could be proven so Bush could be impeached and removed from office along with the rest of his cronies.

What if?   May 28th, 2008 4:45 pm ET

Thank you former White House Press Secretary Scott McClellan's, honesty is the best policy.........

Obama 08

Jason P. from Orange County   May 28th, 2008 4:45 pm ET

The next headline will be that Hillary's camp said this proves she was duped into voting for the war.

Mcain in Mcbush which is Mcfor more illegal war!

lol   May 28th, 2008 4:45 pm ET

wow for someone who is above old style politics, obama is really showing that he is quite the "typical" politician. change must be the buzz word, for politics as usual for obama.
