CNN

He was right then...and now.

I think in 2006, Obama was yet to prove himself the best candidate. Hell, in 2006, I would have been skeptical. But that was before he defeated Clinton. I think anybody who doubt his political ability at this point will likely not know what hit them in November.

That's fine with me. The more they underestimate him, the better. Clinton underestimated him, and lost.

GOP = McLame. Two years is an eternity in the political arena.

OBAMA '08 '12

Lord the Repugs are scrambling like roaches, LOL!

Tailor, thank you for your support. It's been a long hard-fought campaign, and both sides needed to do what they had to do to win. I sincerely hope we can all be friends now and get the Republicans out of the White House. We must ALL stand united and get behind Barack Obama and ensure his victory in November to bring integrity and honor back to the United States of America. Together we can!

This is just the beginning, and we have the press to partially blame for facilitating the idea that the Clinton's were race-baiting when it was clear to anyone with objectivity that it was the Obama camp twisting Bill's words (argh! lawyers!).
Now this country is in a no-win situation.
Life educated people won't vote for Obama because they can't afford to take a chance on an unknown quantityand college educated want him and will accuse hard working people of racism if they don't vote for him.
By the way just to clarify to some who think the right to choose is synonomous with reproductive rights need to get a clue. Abortion should not be a REGULAR method of BIRTH CONTROL.
Of course I know CNN won't post my comment they never do, just another reason this Hillary supporter will vote for McCain.

Two years ago ... Obama has more than proven himself in that time.

No problem digging up dirt on McWar from the past decade ... the flip=flopping war monger he is.

oh that you tube is such a funny thing, i'm glad the republicans are finally learning to use it and all those intertubes
...you know there's also a video on there with mcsame saying he'd be too old to run in 08, i think that was also from 06

No surprise to hear this. Even Obama himself didn't think he had enough experience to be President early in his brief career as a US Senator. What has he done to gain experience to be the leader of the greatest country in the world since these comments were made.

Change you can believe in??? He is the most Liberal senator in the country, so how can he bring change. And, how could someone even vote for a guy that either doesn't show up to vote on a bill or abstains from a vote because he doesn't want to be put in a difficult position.

That was then. This is now.

2 years ago, I would have never voted for a guy named Barack Obama, either. It's amazing, isn't it?

Just think, the same thing can happen again in 2 more presidential elections from now... could be a woman Senator, or a Muslim Govenor... anything's possible in the USA. Obama has proven that.

If this BS did not work for Hillary Clinton, what makes you think it's goign to work for John McShame??

More like Borat Obama. The man doesn't have a clue.

OK...

There is NO way we can let McCain win in November!!!

I am a proud Hilary supporter!! She has done so much good in this country.. and unfortunately isnt going to be the nominee!

BUT, Obama will now get my vote!! AND i will be a proud american for the first time in 8 years!!

Good Luck Mr. Obama!! You have one more Hilary supporter

Obama would make a great preacher with his inspirational speeches that contain no solid direction. Clinton was right, Obama represents change you can xerox.

Given that, I'm an independent voter and will still be listening for Obama's actual ideas and plans for these great United States. Maybe he'll have something noteworthy to say before November.

Sadly, just like the Democratic Party's allocation of delegates, McCain will win the electoral college. Clinton got "Al-Gored" in the Democratic Primaries just as Obama will be "Al-Gored" in the General Election.

And right now, Michigan and Florida will probably go Republican... and all because of 4delegates that Obama wasn't willing to concede to Clinton as a reconcilatory gesture. Did he really need those 4? No.

The only positive aspect is that this should be a historical election year in terms of the number of voter turn-out!

Democrat or Republican! Get out there and vote! The best thing about US Democracy is that each person only has 4 or 8 yrs to screw things up.

Who cares what the RNC or John McCain think about Obama? Their thoughts are insignificant to Democrats. Obama will whip McCain so badly in November that poor little Johnny will go running home crying to his momma.

So now it's not possible to change your views after TWO YEARS?

To summarize: the RNC released a video from TWO YEARS AGO to illustrate that President Carter has changed his mind about Barack Obama's qualifications for the office of the Presidency. Somehow, this is their way of attacking and discreditting President Carter's position.

Another fine example of how the RNC tries to distract Americans from the real issues: an endless war, a wrecked economy, and a lame duck President.

Ummm... And how is that significant. That was 2 years ago. People have the right to change their minds. The RNC will need to come up with something better than that...................

Barack Obama = Second term of Jimmy Carter

RNC?.....they are scared out of their bearings!

That statement was made two years ago and of course Sen. Obama as you can see is the frontrunner with a lot of substance and experience. McCain has stated he has changed his views but he still clings to Bush.

RNC?

These people have no credibility.

I seem to remember a lot of upset republicans when John McCain wrapped up the nomination.....somehow I think that's worse than Jimmy Carter changing his mind. McCain still has a long way to go with his own party.

Good Grief...they went back to a 2006 interview. Republicans are running scared already. Hillary set the table for them now they are ready to dine but it won't work.

I don't think they can top Hillary's kitchen sink strategy and he still won. Let the events in America play out over the next few months and we will see who the best president will be.

If I were to support John McCain, would Team Obama crucify me?

It is completely Hilarious, that the worst things that the GOP can find on Obama is what "people around" him say or do.

The "experienced" McCain obviously cannot match up with Barack on REAL ISSUES, such as the economy, war, and healthcare.

Therefore, Republicans resort to tacticts like digging through hours of video clips of ex-pastors, in order to create fear of Barack to many mainstream Americans (as evidenced by Fox news).

Please, I think the American people are intelligent enough to see through the BS of the GOP. (this probably won't get posted).

Hey "Want to know the future of America"

It's spelled "higher" not "hire"

Learn to spell, Chief.

Sorry Democrats, because of your blatant racism and sexsism, your candidate will lose.

Obama had a lot of jealous old Democrats who said a lot of dumb things regarding his electability and now it will come to bite them!!!

Just goes to show that even an ex-president's endorsement can be bought with a few promises. Thought he was above that. Guess not. Now every last bit of respect I ever had for Carter is gone.

He has seen the light....at least he admits it.

Is this the best the Republican Party can do? Nobody cares what Jimmy Carter thinks of Barack Obama. Very few people even care what Hillary Clinton thinks. There's only one question: What do the American people think? And I'm pretty sure that they're not at all certain what they think of Barack Obama. One thing IS clear, though: they don't have any real fondness for the policies John W. McCain is promising to implement.

Carter must be looking for another cabinet postion

HAHA! Wow they're trying everything now.

I just may enjoy watching the Republicans' desperation.

The man has proven that he has experience in

1. Raising money and being a good money manager with it. (he has money to loan Clinton)
2. Bringing people together instead of dividing them
3. Being diplomatic even when the kitchen sink is thrown at him.
3. A God fearing man
4. A brave and steadfast man
5. A community organizer with a world vision.

Becoming the president is much like becoming a parent you don't get a book on how to raise a child you just do it.
He will have plenty of coverage from the Congress, House of Rep, the news media and the people to keep him straight forward. It is not like he will be in a boat without a paddle.

He will win because it is his time, and with God to guide him he will make a great President

This is almost too funny for words. The Republicans discredit everything Jimmy Carter has ever said and now they want to enlist his comment against Obama to help McCain. McCain is already DOA, nothing can help this major league Bushie flip-flopper, least of all this joke.

No surprise here. Fact is it doesn't matter who endorses Obama. We know who and what he represents and will have nothing to do with him and his followers. Even if the Pope were to come out for Obama which I doubt he would I would still vote and campaign for McCain;
No Hispanic, No veteran , No patriotic American will ever allow his or her country to be governed by the Left Wing Democrats that support this man.

Obama will lose big time to McCain. 3 big reasons: Rev. Wright,
Bill Ayers and Michelle Obama.

Sooo what? No body knew Obama than and everyone knows him now. The problem is that RNC still does not know OBama today. They are doomed.

Bush screwed over fiscal conservatives (and some of the neocons even, but I think neocons deserve their own party... they are ruining the good republican name Ronald Reagan held)...

so now we are about to elect the most socialist president we will have ever had... I cannot wait for the economic failures that will occur... gas gets 5,6,7 bucks a gallon or hire... Obama will say tough luck deal with it... but will support the special interests blocking wind energy because a bird may die in the turbine....

Only his dramatic failure will finally bring a true, strong candidate, and I guarantee you it's going to be Ron Paul if he is still in politics.

I can't wait for 2012 and Ron Paul.

HELLO....that was two years ago.

It's obvious why Carter supports Obama now. He, too, can change his mind/convictions when it's convenient. It will be a great year to see my two favorite democrats lose the elections of their lifetime. I almost feel like I should be paying more taxes to have this much fun.

Two years is enough to get to know a candidate. Also, a superdelegate can support whom ever he wishes.
