CNN

Anyone whop CLAIMS to be a Clinton surrporter and says now because they are COMPLETELY bitter that they will now vote for Mccain is a complete MORON!

John McCain still talks and behaves as if he is in the Barracks; Americans will be more save by talking to these so called enemies of America. Get them round you and find out what the problems are, then find a way forward; what matter most is security for ordinary American; if visiting these countries will make America safe, it is worth doing.
If Barack says he would meet and discuss with these so called enemies, definitely, Americans will be more safe under Obama.

Wow! American ARE stupid.

McCain's blustery style of diplomacy looks worse than George W. Bush's. As responsible citizens, we should be careful not to buy into more sabre-rattling from politicians such as McCain. Obama has my vote in November.

Which proves that Obama is in touch with the American people, not old McSame.

Barack Obama is the best thing to come along since JfK, in fact, he's like a black JFK (altho he's not really black) If you listen to JfK talking on tapes and then listen to Barack, even their inflection and that slight little stutter are very similair too. But what he makes him most like JFK is his intelligence, levelheadedness, foresight and honesty,
as well as his bravado (I may be skinny but I'm fierce"! ) and his charisma. The man exudes warmth and practically has a halo!
And by the way, (I researched this ) JFk only had 12 years of experience when elected. Half state and half U.S. senator. Barack
Obama has served 7 years as an Illinois senator and 3 as a U.S.
senator, only 2 years less than JFK, who was also 5 years younger than Barack Obama and was Catholic, which was still mocked a lot back in the 60s, I know because I was 11 years old and a Catholic!
AND HE WON AND SO WILL BARACK OBAMA, WITH OR WITHOUT HILLIARY'S SUPPORT!!!
Someone on here said Hilliary's supporters, who are saying they'll vote for McSame if she is not the nominee, are racists. This is true and I suspect they are also feminists and lesbians and men haters!
Not to mention ignorant! They want our sons to continue to get killed in Iraq, and the economy to get worse, and the rich to get richer and the poor to get poorer all because a woman didn't get the nod!!!! And they cry "sexist" but that is not the case. Hilliary didn't get the nod because she is a woman but because 58% of the country thinks she is untrustworthy and a liar! I am a white woman and I am supporting Barack Obama because he is trustworthy and honest, not because he is black or a man. And I sure hope he doesn't pick her as VP because when he wins the white house, he'll have to constantly watch his back for fear she'll put a knife in it so she can be president,
one way or another!

John McCain is so stupid he is trying to follow the same failed George Bush poliy over iran.

Look at that.

Well, they sure didn't poll me. I think Obama's approach to the Iran situation is naive and ineffectual....but then, so is he.

No Abomination in the Presidency!

Hillary or McCain – 2008

A Door Has Been Opened For Hillary Clinton, . . . And Everyone Is Giving Her The Nod!

Obama doesn't have Ideas. He just responds to others' ideas. He has a good speaking voice (reminds me of John Kerry's) as long as he has a script. Without a script, as he would be if he debates McCain one on one, he just stammers around with a lot of "er" and "uh".

People fear Change.....

As a solider in the Military I like the fact that Obama would like to talk to our proposed enemies....before I have to do my job. That what we the military are here for....when you have exhausted ALL possibilities of a peaceful resolve You call on us to enforce it........NOT THE OTHER WAY AROUND.

The United States is not the World Police......We need to establish a relationship with those that are a threat to the US.
Keep your friends close but your enemies closer....especially the ones with Nuclear capability.

McCain is trying to make it sound like Obama wants to go to dinner with Ahmadinejad!! I'm glad people are smart enough to know that Obama is only willing to have some sort of discussion with Iran without pitting the country in any kind of danger. It's not brain surgery......

WHen given a choice between a potential president who would use military action as the first and only choice, and a potential president who would use it only if absolutely necessary, most Americans are intelligent enough to vote for the latter. Republicans are great at getting lots of common folk killed so they can stoke thier egos.

Because talking to Hitler and Stalin worked so well for the world...

Iran wants to disappear Israel and your gallup poll says that American wants to meet with Iran's President. What a joke CNN, nuff said I will be voting for McCain there is nothing more American then to vote for McCain.

" all we are saying, is give peace a chance"

This Shows That Hillary Clinton Is Out Of Touch With The People! Thats Why She Is Not Going To Be The President!

Stubborn old McSame is out of touch.

8:45pm ET ..Go Hillary...

NO ONE HAS MORE SURPRISES IN THEIR CLOSETS THAN BOTH BILL AND HILLARY.

Just wait when Hillary has to testify come November in her Law Suit for CAMPAIGN FRAUD..

BTW... Does anyone know what Church HILLARY IS A MEMBER OF?

As I recall, McCain never said not to ever meet with such leaders. He said that it is naive to meet with them without preconditions as Obama stated he would do. Obama may have now changed his suggested approach. He changes so often it's hard to keep up from one minute to the next.

I Will Vote For Hillary Clinton When She Stops Wearing Pant Suits!

Obama fans,

Enjoy your dreams now and use up all the party favors in August.

You'll be waking up to your worst nightmare and have no cause for partying come November.

Democrat for McCain, the most qualified candidate on the ballot.

Obama and some Americans (who forgot recent history in North Korea) are repeating bad history thinking Iran can be trusted on their nuclear weapons program. OBILL is making the same belief in trusting but not verify as his idol Bill Clinton when it comes to foriegn affairs and after hearing a national security speech on u-tube he will sell out the military for peace dividends just as Bill did. That is a post Viet Nam democrat for you!

The poll is on Gallup.com. You can find the questions asked, as well as the results broken down according to party. Read it a weap, McCain and Clinton supporters.

this is not the correct poll, how many people you asked ?

Gallup didn't ask the right question. They should have asked if people would want the president to talk to the president of Iran in the first year and I'm sure the answer overwhelmingly would have been NO. Remember, that's what Obama said he would do. That is, meet in the first year, without precondition. Big mistake.

Hey Obama bashers/Hillary Supporters, don't you just hate that he's winning? Makes you want to just...do absolutely nothing. Sucks when you feel like your getting the shaft huh?

This world deserves peace . Give peace a chance with dialog. it will work if we work hand in hand

The People Have Spoken! Barack Obama Has A Better Vision For This Country Than Hillary Clinton!

I agree with "Go Hillary"..The longer this campaign going, the more we discover his flaw that his PEOPLE has been trying to cover up....

McCain is no diplomat and he doesn't have the skills to be a diplomat. That's why he can't talk-because the other side would realize he is incompetent.

Kennedy, Nixon, Reagan,--all talked to our enemies.

McCain couldn't hold those dude's jocks.

"This Is Why Obama Will Be The Next President And Clinton Will Not!"
Yah Right.. and this is how we americans will suffer another 4 years with HIM. Just cross finger it won't be worse than Bush's...

I really, really wish you could spell. So much for the "educated" supporting Obama!

Hillary Clinton Will Never Be The President! No Matter How Much Sugar You Sprinkle On Dog Poop It Will Never Taste Sweet!

All you people out there that think that Obama is the best you better beware ...................................................................................................

I'm sure there are more surprises in his closet!

The End.

Great news. Would be even better if Americans understood that the equivalent of the US president is not the Iranian president but the Supreme Leader. Most civilized countries in the Western World have split the singular leadership position typical of monarchies, dictatorships, and tyrannies (thus England has the PM and the King/Queen, Germany has the Chancellor and the President, etc.).

Candy Crawly of CNN DID NOT tell Americans that it is Hillary Clinton's Divine Right to be on the Presidential ticket

Rev. Benson,

I have to respectfully disagree. WHile obviously his decision to leave the parish responds to the fact that he is being held responsible for everything anyone says at his former Church, it is also true that he seemed to feel that his presence was disrupting the congregation unacceptably. I think his regret and his pragmatism speak volumes–far more than a simple kowtowing to some of the voters.

Suzie–if you think Obama is a media creation, then they must have been busy these past twenty years making him a constitutional lawyer/scholar, community activist, and legislator at the state and national level, co-authoring important reform legislation. Gee whiz, I had no idea that the media had such power, such foresight. Why don't you read a little and do a little research if you want to be taken seriously? Sheesh.

Ibelieve Amb Albright sat down with the North Koreans and we see how well that has done It is better to be feared than loved turn the other cheek and you get slapped twice!

Nothing gets Americans back to their senses like $5 gallon of gas. If gas was at $2 a gallon right now, all Americans would be gunning for Iranian destruction, bombing, invasion,.....

How many times does it take a presidential candidate to get the idea that Iraq should have never happened to begin with? Only John McCain can answer that.

When we elect leaders who are not afraid to talk to those we have serious disagreements we will be a much better nation.
We can go back to my childhood, which has been awhile. and we used to say sticks and stones may break my bones, but words will never hurt me.
If we have leaders that say we might give something away in talking we did not intend to give during negoations then, they are not leaders, they are idiots. If a leader cannot control himself in talking and gives away things he did not intend to give, he is lacking common sense and more.

I Once Shook The Hand Of Hillary Clinton, . . . I Have Not Been Able To Wash It Enough To This Very Day!

In the geopolitical marketplace, legitimacy is based on effectiveness, and must be proven in comparison with other superpowers.In fact, America can learn a lot about legitimacy from Europe and China.After the Cold War, some Americans argued that the diminished US military presence in Europe would lead to a renewal of internal European rivalry,such as between France and Germany.Instead,the European Union has become the one contemporary empire that continues to expand, year after year, by absorbing new countries, with many more in line begging to join.
Around the same time, the Pentagon declared its strategy to contain the rise of any great power rival ,such as China.Yet China is methodically pursuing its own timeline to become the world's paramount power,restoring its position as the 'Middle Kingdom'.Like the European Union,it is turning its neighbor states into semi-sovereign provinces,subduing them not militarily but rather through demographic expansion and economic integration.This used to be called imperialism; the new term for it is globalization.
The power of an Obama presidency is the understanding of that point.

And I am one of them!

The Bush/McCain policy has been so disastrous. This cowboy "either you're with us or against us" attitude has created so much hatred towards Americans that Americans are calling themselves Canadians overseas. Sad...
I am an Independent who never voted for Bush and would never vote for McCain. All of this fear peddling and misleading Americans is shameful and I am proud of McClellan to speak out against the propaganda and fear peddling. We can not afford to have another Republican in the whitehouse for a very long time.

Dem in '08 Obama OR Clinton

Yeah Right. Giving him sit down and talk to the Iranian President. I think it would be another step for him to ruin our country. He is very dishonest to our nation.

I Also Believe Hillary Is More Electable. . . Would You Like To Buy Some Lake Front Property?

Sure go to Iran speak to a culture the vows to wipe out Israel amd kill all us non belivers. Make him crediable to the rest of the world. If you think that a P.C. world exists and we are going to show him we mean no harm and when thet develop the nuke you are going to say i guess we were wrong and we will be blackmailed forever

If you study war and diplomacy it all comes down to one basic principle laid out by Sun Tzu in the "the Art of War". True victory goes to the side that convinces his enemies to yeild without even drawing his sword.

Bush and McCain don't want to meet with foreign leaders becuase they are simply not intelligent enough to joust with them one on one. Yes, I think they are mental sissys. If your big and bad enough to say "screw you" in the newspapers and fox news, then be man enough to say it to their face. If your man enough to go to war then be man enough to tell Americans the real reason. Reagan wasn't afraid, Roosevelt, not even little Truman. Even the vastly outmatched Kennedy talked to our enemies.

Bush and McCain are just a punch of school house punks hiding behind the teachers dress when anybody challenges them.

Talk about what? Oh please Iran don't hurt us? The President of the US should not go around begging for people not to "hurt us" This government in Iran want nothing but destruction of the US and Israel. The only thing talking does is give Iran a nice pretty picture of their president shaking hands with the US. It's foolish to believe that ANYTHING comes from talking to people who are so radical and will never change until that government is overthrown.

I agree with Baracks policy. I really want to be able to see these leaders for myself. I don't trust our ability to compile any intelligence in this country. Look how we have used it. I think that the media will be different during an Obama administration. They will actually cover the White House in a different way. Obama isn't going to have a secretive adminstration full of covert war mongers. I believe he will have tough even tempered guys and gals who are interested in thinking, observation, information gathering and then action. It will be nice to have people who can speak well and represent the country with some grace and charm. I believe that 3 months after taking office, Barack will have all the nations just charmed. They won't be able to get enough of him. It's important that he has a strong cabinet who will work hard for the American people. I believe that Barack will be in great demand.

I know he will.

Senator McCain cannot picture himself talking to his friends, much less his enemies, without losing his temper. Which does not help America's image of being a violent nation.

Senator Clinton cannot picture talking to anyone without getting her way, which does not help America's image of being so arrogant.

Senator Obama does not show either of those symptoms. Yet he has some backbone. That will be good for America.

Im Still Waiting For My Gas Tax Holiday Liary Clinton!

Please, please, pleeeeeeeeeeeeeease!

This is the only open article for me to comment on, so I have to place my opinion here. I am just listening to Candy Crawly of CNN almost telling Americans that it is Hillary Clinton's Divine Right to be on the Presidential ticket, come hell or high waters. If she can't be the Nominee, then she HAS THE DEVINE RIGHT TO BE ON THE TICKET AS THE VICE PRESIDENT.

Why is the media trying so hard to get her on the ticket? This is the CHOICE THAT THE NOMINEE MAKES! So please media just stop trying to pretend otherwise! It is absolutely insulting to Sen. Obama. Stop it already! This woman has trashed Sen. Obama so many times in so many disgusting ways, that I think he will have to be looking over his shoulder, every single second, every single minute, every single hour, of every single day, week, month, year of his presidency.

Now here is Rendell arguing the same point, do these people realize just how much mud they have thrown at Barack? and now they want him to pick her as Vice President?

Get a grip people!

AND STOP TELLING THE PEOPLE ABOUT THE VISITING CATHOLIC PRIEST WHO RANTED AND RAVED AT HILLARY, THAT HAS NOTHING WHATEVER TO DO WITH SEN. OBAMA. SO STOP TRYING TO MAKE IT SO!

If Hillary Had Any Experience In Being The President She Would Not Have Voted For The War!

1013 people? That's a majority of the US?

This Is Why Obama Will Be The Next President And Clinton Will Not!

Come to think of it, had McCain been the Republican nominee in 2000 instead of Bush, McCain would have gotten elected and we all would have had a much better 8 years as a result.

I suppose what comes around, goes around. The Republicans stupidly did to McCain in 2000 what the Democrats stupidly did to Clinton in 2008. His time came. Her time will come.

For now, we committed Democrats who lost our Party to I know not what will have to vote McCain.

Sorry Obama fans, even those who know Obama best admit, as Father Pfleger did last week, that Obama "came out of nowhere." He's unknown (more skeltons that reveal Obama to be a deceitful opportunist are sure to come out) and he's unqualified for the office.

Democrat for McCain '08

Gee, and most British citizens agreed with Neville Chamberlain when he negotiated with Hitler and brought home the peace agreement, waving it and announcing "Peace in our time."

Shortly thereafter bombs rained on England as never before and death and destruction was everywhere.

Go ahead and follow Obama into the abyss. He'e bringing you Armageddon.

Just In To Show You That Obama Is More Electable Than Hillary!

Remember the wisdom of Don Corleone–"Keep your friends close, but your enemies closer"

I'm a Democrat that is for Hillary. If that doesn't work out, I will vote for McCain. Obama is nothing but a creation of the media.

would someone please explain to me mccain's oh-so-valuable EXPERIENCE!?!??! the guy was in vietnam, and thank you for your service john, BUT THAT WAS ALMOST 50 YEARS AGO!!!!! the world has CHANGED!!!!

being a war-loving war-mongerer DOES NOT mean you have experience!!!

WAR IS NOT STRENGTH!!! DIPLOMACY IS STRENGTH!!!!! DIPLOMACY IS THE ONLY WAY TO GO!!!!! hasnt the last 7 years of expensive and ineffective WAR taught you ANYTHING!?!!??!!? IRAQ IS A BLOODY DISASTER!!!! IRAN WILL BE TOO!!!!!

Pull the other one, it's got bells on it.

The more Obama talks, the more he sounds like Jimmy Carter.

Anyone out there willing to put Carter in their list of top 25 presidents?

I agree with you. You cannot solve problems by invading countries. There has to be diplomacy. My friends in Britain inform me that they and most Europeans want Obama, not McCain or Clinton to be President.

Now McBush will try to spin and fool us another way because his agenda is not what the American people want. I just want him and Obama to meet in a debate about foreing policy, face to face with no cue cards to read from.

WOW a thousand thirteen thats a majority of Americans?????? CNN needs a big time math lesson. LOL

Brian Knoxville, TN, Vote for him, but then please step up to the plate and serve your country in Iraq to too..
And forget about Veteran rights McCain voted against those...
And you wont have health care, you can afford, to take care off you after you come home with missing libs....
And if you loose your job and then your house, don't cry, china will help you.... Even to all the rich will be living on your tax break...
Next time you wont even be able to vote, there will be no gas and the dollar will be less then the yen...

of course we do...it isnt about listening to the rhetoric...it is about opening lines of communication. If you can't talk...you will never find a solution without violence. And just look at how well our use of violence is working.

I really wish more voters would give Obama a chance. We have always had to choose a white nominee's to vote for and we trusted them to treat us with respect, excluding the administration in office now. I really think Obama will be a president who will treat ever one with respect.

Obama 08

Obama 08: Finally some light at the end of the tunnel!!! America would be respected in the world just by electing Obama in November.

Will be as respected as we were when Clinton was president? And Al Qaeda was attacking our buildings, ships, and bases ever year or so? Which ended in the Grand Finale of 9/11? Is that the respect you're looking for?

Yea, sure most Americans agree with meeting with the president of Iran. I'd love to see who you polled. Probably lots of typical Obama supporters. That way you could make Obama look really good by presenting him as having the "best" ideas on foreign policy. What a joke. Most people know that Obama's weakest point is foreign policy. He has no idea what he's doing other than try to make his radical friends happy, which is why he's more than willing to meet with these vicious tyrants.

Too bad that many of Obama's supporters don't have the first clue of what sitting down with someone like that actually means to a vicous dictator and his people. Anyone who knows anything about talks with suspected terrorists realizes that meeting with them only legitimizes them and their cause in their eyes.....and indicates to them that the other person is weak. It will result in a terrorist attack against the US that likely far exceeds what took place on 9/11.

Remember - Obama first said that he would meet with the leaders of Iran and other contries considered enemies of the U.S. without any strings attached and any quidelines. He will just talk to anyone at anytime. Since he has a very big mouth, his agenda-less meetings could get him into trouble. He would have to keep changing his meanings and clearing up too many misconceptions his loose lips caused. He is not good at talking off the cuff - he needs to just sit tight and keep quite. Well, actually he doesn't matter anyway. The big democratic machine stole the election from Hillary with the half-votes of Florida and giving Obama over half of the Michigan delegates - when he was not on the ballot in that state. Hillaryl should have those delegates that were given to a non-deserving Obama, or no one at all.

""Are you not destroying you enenmies when you meke them your friends..""

Warmongers wont unsdterstand this, so wont the bomb factories or war profiteers.....

Let their souls rest in peace....

CNN tries to foll people again.
Shame on your CNN.

Ok..

Bush didnt talk to anybody, and just look where that got out!!

How can McCain possibly argue that talking to your "enemies" is wrong when the past 8 years have been the worst for Americans (and a lot of the world) in decades!! WHY?

BECAUSE THE REPUBLICANS DONT BELIEVE IN DIPLOMACY!! THEY BELIEVE IN INCOME FROM WEAPONS MANUFACTURERS.. THEY DONT CARE ABOUT THE ECONOMY, OR THE THOUSANDS OF LIVES LOST IN A UNJUST WAR!!

DEMOCRATS, WE HAVE TO UNITE AGAINST MCCAIN!! TO DO OTHERWISE WOULD BE THE BIGGEST MISTAKE IN US HISTORY!

Finally some light at the end of the tunnel!!! America would be respected in the world just by electing Obama in November.

I can understand why people support Senator Obama's position on this issue. Senator McCain believes we should continue the status quo, and we can all see what a resounding success that has been (sarcasm implied). Honestly, the more I see of John McCain the more he reminds me of President Bush. He refuses to change his mind (unless it is required to get the support of the conservative wing of the GOP) regardless of the new evidence.

Bush never wanted to sit down with our "enemies" face to face because he knew deep down that when he looked into their eyes he would see himself, and that would crush his little ego and destroy what little grip he has on reality. Someone once said pride cometh befor a fall. With America teedering on the brink of disaster maybe it's time to have leaders with an open mind instead of closed minds. It can't be any worst than what we have been forced to endure all these any years. GOD save America because it looks like our leaders can't.

I write as a member of a new group of McCain Democrats that will do the same thing that Reagan Democrats did in '80 and '84. I will vote for McCain because I believe he is the best qualified candidate who will be on the ballot and because I know that he is a moderate.

The choice on Iraq is clear, Obama is calling for a withdrawl that will be as quick as possible, regardless of consequences or circumstance. I think we still call that pandering, by the way.

McCain is calling for a better strategy to achieve realistic goals that will enable our military leaders to withdraw the combat troops in an orderly way after the goals have been achieved.

Sorry Obamacrats. McCain is not Bush. Slogans and empty rhetoric might have helped an unkown, inexperienced and unqualified guy weasel his way off with the nomination of the Democratic Party, but it will not get him elected.... and the country will be better off for it.

Democrat for McCain '08

What I would like to see is our country come together and get our economy back on track.
I also hope that Obama will find a way to speak to Cuba and help my people..It would be a great thing..if we could all go for a visit

But yet McCain (and bitter Hillary Supporters), still claim that Obama is too "inexperienced" enough to lead?? I guess it was Obama's "inexperience" that has let him to:

1) Run a near flawless campaign during the democratic primary
2) Denounce Politically Pandering ideas like an artifical "gas tax holiday"
3) Exercise the "correct" judgement when voting against the war.

(note to CNN Moderator – This comment is being resent due to a typo in the original post.

Well if John McCain is out of step with "most Americans", then America better get ready for 4 years of Jimmy Carter II. To "sit down and talk" with our enemies means you are negotiating with them. So what is Barack going to give to our enemies, and what does he expect in return? Bill Clinton tried to appease al qaeda with talk, police actions, and then by just ignoring them, and we see where that got us. Now BHO is doing the same thing. What's the cost of talking to terrorists? You legitimize them by doing so and make them appear to be mainstream.

obama would had tried to talk to hitler, what an idiot. also yoda from s. c .is endorcing obama, gee im surprised.

Sometimes older americans just don't get it ...esp now in the era of the WWW LOL

Over the next few months there will be ALOT of issues where McCain will show how out of step with Americans he truly is.

So his complete and utter ineptness will fall right in line with the millions of new HRC supporters he's about to get. After all they're the reason Bush is in office. (What's your saying "If not Hillary then McCain") LOSERS!

Intelligent, educated, HARD-WORKING Americans (of all races and backgrounds) understand what's actually going on in America!

whoever calls obama racisit is racisit as i see it THANK GOD we actually have someone smart and intellegent as obama for president cant wait for jan to watch sen obama become our president go obama you can do it i know you can!!!! oba

But yet McCain (and bitter Hillary Supporters), still claim that Obama is too "inexperienced" enough to lead??

I guess it was Obama's "inexperience" that led him to:

Well if Obamaation of

Americans need to come out of the fog of fantasy about Obama and get real. This guy has been idealized to the point of perfection and the only way to go is down, down, down. Americans are in for a shock wave if this card carrying member of a racist, Anti-American and sexist church is seen as the great agent of change. Just like last time – when Bush was voted in for the 2nd time – Americans will get what they deserve – another loser.

Unfortunately, most of the people opposing Obama, or calling him "inexperienced" are either "racists" or are simply not aware of the fact that --Obama is a "Constitutional Scholar". Hillary and McCain are NOT constitutional scholars. Fresh from looking at the Constitution, Obama is ready to lead!!! We need Change in this NATION! There is a need for change in "generational thinking."

Will one of you republicans on here please tell McCain he needs to worry about his own election affairs. Game over, we know he is trying to keep us fighting among ourselves, he needs to really worry about his elect abilities. He needs to worry about why Bush is trying to rush trying to get his rich folks tax cut permanent, dose Bush knows McCain isn‘t really a challenge?

If he wants us dems. to listen, tell him he needs to get busy getting our troops out of Iraq before 100 yrs. because of a war that was not because of WMD.

WE HAVE BEEN HOODWINKED PRETTY GOOD.

THE IRAQ WAR HAS COST US A GREAT DEAL OF BLOOD

& TREASURE. SHAME ON EVERY DEMOCRAT & REPUBLICAN

THAT VOTED OR SUPPORTED IT IN ANY WAY. ANS SHAME ON

THOSE THAT OPPOSE BENEFITS FOR THOSE THAT GAVE US

THEIR ALL. COLLEGE TUITION FOR OUR HONORABLE VETS.

You know – you Obama haters must be listening too much to

Blitzer, Campbell Brown, and Lou (mr ego) Dobbs

OOps – typo

Logic 101

OK – Hillary WILL beat McShame. Good

Obama beat Hillary so WILL BEAT McShame. Good.

Obama haters are just naive.

I can see the headline in the NY Times – Peace in our time!!! – as Obama gets off the airplane. The comments above are naive. Dialogue, peace, diplomacy, talk will lead to nothing with the mullas. Guess how the Cold War was won? Peace through strength.

Logic 101

OK – Hillary WILL beat McShame. Good

Obama beat Hillary so WILL be McShame. Good.

Obama haters are just naive.

I find it funny that Clinton supporters say that there is no way Obama can win in November.
Well, back when this primary season started, who thought Obama was going to win in August?
Wasn't Hillary the "inevitable" nominee?

It's simple. If you want Bush policies to go on for another 4 years, vote McCain.

Why the knock on diplomacy? Hello.......time to try something new.
Has the lack of diplomacy has gotten us anywhere?

I am very happy to see that American people agree with Obama in this point. I lived in Iran for a long time and know how Iranian people act and think. They are fed up with the previous politics of America .They need a hand to help them not to attack and destroy them. Obama is a right person for Iranian people.

BO is ten steps ahead of this guys, this what we call visionary leadership

Well, the Obama maniacs kind of scare me. I honestly think they would still be saying "Yes we can" if Obama said Ahmadinejad was an extraterrestrial.

But, Obama is taking the right track on this. Iran is a greater threat to the US if we antagonize / isolate them. That is what W's policies have done to most of the world.

No nation have ever prospered fighting endless wars, McCain and His VP Billary will get us in WWIII. Enough stupid talk and tough posture non sense, we need as much peace as we can get, life is hard as it is. Wake up people.

Obama, can speak to the president of Iran, but it won't make any difference, cause in reality Iran's president is only a puppet of the religious strong hold in real power. It's the allatolahs that he needs to talk to.

Oh my God, what fools have you been talking to? Are you people stupid. I know that alot of Americans are gullible but this is tragic.

So, wasn't negociating with North Corea better than sacrificing another 4000+ young americans?

HILLARY WHO IS STILL HERE?

OH, YOU MEAN THAT WOMAN THAT DOESN'T KNOW WHEN TO THROW IN THE TOWEL, AND IS REALLY STARTING TO LOOK LIKE IT COULD BE A PSYCHOLOGICAL CONDITION OF WHY SHE ISN'T STEPPING ASIDE?

IF HILLARY LOVES HER COUNTRY LIKE SHE PROFESSED THROUGH " ALLIGATOR TEARS" PRE-NEW HAMPSHIRE, SHE WOULD SERVE HER COUNTRY BEST TO STEP ASIDE AND JOIN JOHN EDWARDS IN BACKING THE NEXT DEMOCRATIC PRESIDENTIAL NOMINEEE – BARACK OBAMA.

HILLARY STILL HAS A SENATE SEAT IN N.Y., WHICH COULD BECOME IN JEOPARDY IF SHE CONTINUES TO TRY AND DIVIDE THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY.

GAME CHANGER: JOHN EDWARDS ENDORSEMENT.
GAME OVER.

WHY IS HILLARY REFUSING TO HEED THE WORDS OF AMERICANS? IS THIS THE KIND OF PRESIDENT SHE WILL BE IF SHE EVER WERE THE PRESIDENT? WE HAVE A PRESIDENT CURRENTLY (BUSH) THAT TOO, BELIEVES HE SHOULD "STAY THE COURSE" IN THINGS , AND YOU SEE WHERE THAT GOT OUR COUNTRY INTO –WAR AND FURTHER DEBT!

HILLARY IS IN HER DISBELIEF AND ANGER STAGES. HOPEFULLY SOON SHE CAN GET OUT OF HER CURRENT " DENIAL" STAGE AND ENTER INTO HER "ACCEPTANCE" STAGE, SO WE AMERICANS CAN GET ON WITH BEATING MCCAIN IN NOVEMBER.

TIME FOR HILLARY TO ACCEPT HER LOSS, GET OUT OF DENIAL, –ALL FOR THE "LOVE" OF HER COUNTRY SHE PROFESSED TO HAVE PRE-NEW HAMPSHIRE PRIMARY TIME.

It nice that 59% of the american people have a clue. Its to bad one of the presidential candidates doesn't.

As Ghandi once said:

We must be the change we wish to see in the world.........

Hooray!

America is coming back from the nightmare of the Bush years.

Negotiating is the smart, tough thing to do.

Go Obama 08 & 12!

I wish everyone would grow up. Stop with all this name calling. I support Obama and his views. I support Hilliary and her views. I do not support McCain on his views. I will vote with facts nothing more. people are going to do what they want to do so let them. They can vote for McCain. Some people might like war or like the price of gas or home prices or all the other stuff he likes. I do not so I will not vote for McCain. I know Hilliary does not agree with McCain so how can her true support like McCain?

Answer not her true supports: Afraid of a Black Man. I speak the truth.

I just dont understand how someone like 'Oboma that has had no experence in political what so ever. I think something is pretty fishy about why all the cockuis are pulling for Omaba when they don,t even really no him,and all the media wants him into,andwant happened to every vote counts.

Obama is of sound mind and judgement and he will do what is best for this nation if he becomes President. McCain is a washed up old man who more or less will likely become a Bush clone if he enters the White House. Talking things out civilly with another nation's President is a much better, and smart strategy to take then, ahem, lying to the American public and to the world about WMD, invading a country which really had no involvement in the 9/11 attacks producing a terrible, endless war in which thousands of our young troops have died in. Yeah Bush, I'm talking about you!

Obama, thank you from the bottom of my heart for providing the only sane, intelligent, good judgement candidate competing at this time. If it weren't for you I shudder to think about the next four years.

It would be helpful if the author of this article actually included the text of the question asked. There is a huge difference between asking if we should be talking with Iran without precondition (Obama's stance) and simply seeking dialogue after some mutually acceptable groundrules/conditions.

While I agree with talking to people and not invading their countries, I hardly think a poll of 1000 people qualifies as "the majority of Americans." I get so sick of these misleading headlines all the time.
I also still believe that Hillary must be on the ticket for us to win in November. Obama needs her knowledge, her acumen, and her experience. He cannot beat McCain without her. I prefer her at the top of the ticket, but the sexist folks in this country can't see the forest for the trees, nor look beyond Obama's pretty words to see that there is no substance.

Could it be because there is a real change in politics about to happen? You bet!

Well of course we do... why would we want even one person hurt if we can avoid it with talk? To say anything else is treasonous in my view. Hopefully, GW & Dick will get thier come-uppance when Barack becomes Pres.

ABSOLUTELY SENATOR OBAMA IS ON THE RIGHT TRACK ( WHY NOT GIVE PEACE A CHANCE . SHOW SOME RESPECT HAVE SOME DIALOGUE, AND A LITTLE HUMANITY IT GOES A LONG WAY.

......And change our policy with other countries....

Talking does not mean to give in....

OBAMA '08!

I'm really proud of this nation...
It is a simple common sense. That is why the majority of Americans will support Obama coming November...
If McCain will loose in foreign policy to Obama, then what can he do about the economy.
It is clear that Obama will be our next president

If it "aint" broken dont fix it............

Well it IS broken McBush!.......and Barack has the tools to fix it.

America wants it fixed....GET OUR BRAVE TROOPS HOME TO THEIR FAMILIES!.......

OBAMA '08!

McCain just wants to bomb women and children!

Sen. Obama has walked out on the members of Trinity Church for no good reason, at least not for a reason that he has not been aware of for the last 20 years. How can you trust a man like this to meet with anybody?

He clearly did it to get the white vote in November. And that is pathetic. The man has no core and no values other than getting elected.

This is just anther point that many independents, republicans, Obama, and Clinton supporters have in common. We can't keep on shooting first and negotiating after.

McCain is a Hawk. Attempting to use guns for political possitioning and fear to rally support.

It is time we talk with our "enemies". Let's change directions and unite behind whoever opposes McCain.

This is just one more reason I will be voting for Obama this fall.

Well, first talking and communicating is certainly better than the 'Shock and Awe' approach. I guess McCain thinks having 4200 young and brave American troops dying is a better approach than dialogue with someone he doesn't like......seems like a no brainer to me.....talk, talk, talk....try diplomacy before warfare.

A Proud American:

I have followed politics for years, and I have read about hundreds of public opinion polls, but I have to admit you've got me stumped.

What is a polling organization doing when it is "chooding" the right group of people?

Hey since, McCain has decided he is the most suitable candidate for the christian right.... here you go. Joel 2:28 "It will come about after this That I will pour out My Spirit on all mankind; And your sons and daughters will prophesy, Your old men will dream dreams, Your young men will see visions.

Of course, Obama is correct in his approach to foreign policy. It's common sense. Reagan even understood the importance of this level of diplomacy.

Dem '08

MCCAIN+BUSH 1+ BUSH 2= TRIPLE JEOPARDY!

Reason and common sense.

I mean, really. How are we to know how to handle people if we don't know them? Sun Tsu said "know your enemy and know yourself...". And someone else said "keep your friends close and your enemies closer". There's wisdom in them thar words.

I would like to know who you actually polled. That in itself would tell you the outcome. Was it a TRUE MIXTURE of the feelings of our democracy..........or tuned to just a few like minds? In my humble opinion, polls tell us not much.

Through the collective conventional wisdom and experience of old politics, the United States has never been more out of control in the Middle East than under the Bushes, the Clintons, and the McCains. Time for a change….

The Fear Campaign from the GOP will NOT work this time.

You dog gone right we should always make an attempt to talk to even our known enemies, that does not mean that we give in to their demands, but try to reason things out, don't be so quick to go to war, communicate with them TALK TO THEM!

IT'S TIME OUT FOR ALL THE BANG, BANG SHOOT EM UP

SORRY, BUT I AM WATCHING McCAIN RIGHT NOW AND THINKING SOMEBODY NEEDS TO DO SOMETHING TO HELP McCAIN, WHO IS WRITING HIS SPEECHES OR IS IT JUST THAT HE IS JUST AS DUMB AS GEORGE W. BUSH, REALLY WHAT IS THE PROBLEM WITH HIM? WHAT WAS THE REPUBLICAN REALLY THINKING LETTING HIM IN LIKE THIS OR IS IT THAT THE RACE IS WEARING ON HIS MENTAL ABILITIES? HE'S APPEARS TO BE AS DUMB AS A ROCK!

OF COURSE WE DO. WE ARE NOT OUT OF OUR

MIND AS IS BUSH & MCBUSH & CO. HOW MANY WARS

CAN WE GO TO? THAT KIND OF USE OF NATIONAL RESOURCES

WILL LEAD TO NATIONAL POVERTY & A DETERIORATED NATIONAL

INFRASTRUCTURE, WHICH WE ARE SUFFERING FROM ALREADY.

REBUILD LOUISIANA. LET THE IRAQIS REBUILD IRAQ.

The American public is smarter than traditional Washington gives them credit for. Of course you should meet, you cannot force every nation and group in the world into compliance with your world view and priorities using military action alone.

Look at Northern Ireland. Margaret Thatcher of all people had secret and eventually in the open minister level discussions with Sinn Fein and the IRA leadership. There is now peace in Northern Ireland.

Its quite simple, the smart person reasons and seeks common ground. The idiot acts like a school bully. Which one is McCain ?

Your survey isn't worth the paper it's written on. Anyone can get the results they want by chooding the right group of people to poll. So what good is it?

Well anyone with common sense and able to read a 3rd grade text book knows what good policy is. Kennedy, Reagan, Nixon, etc all met with our enemies. They did not hid behind the might of our military. If you want to be the big dog of the house you have to know how to properly rule your territory and that does not always emply biting.

of course they do... why the hell wouldnt we talk to them... oh thats right... i guess its a lot quicker and easier just to bomb them... like Iraq? Right?

When has talking to anyone hurt the United States?

We have to realize that America cannot survive by itself. Only when you dialogue with your enemies will you realize their intentions and begin to resolve your differences. "Action and reaction are not equal and oposite".

Ah duh! He has been the only candidate so far with sound judgement. To the hillary and mcwar supporters, remember the gas tax holiday? What happened with that? Oh and the 'obliteration' remark.

I admit: "Old man yells at cloud"

THAT'S RIGHT...MCCAIN IS SO OUT OF TOUCH...WHY NOT MEET WITH OTHER PRESIDENTS? WHAT IS THE BIG DEAL...WHERE HAVE NOT SPEAKING TO THEM GOTTEN US..NOWHERE.

CAN'T WAIT FOR THE FIRST DEBATE. I SEE MCCAIN ALL BLOODY UP...AND STILL HOLDING UP HIS TWO THUMBS UP

OBAMA 08

Absolutely the right approach Senator Obama – diplomacy wins over war all the time!

The reason we Americans agree with Obama's policies is cause we're not stupid!

It is because the MAJORITY of Americans are Intellegent, informed and thoughtful. THANK GOD!!!!!

That is why Obama Has won the Nomination and why there will be LANDSLIDE Victory in November.
