Now THIS is someone we NEED in Washington as President!
PS- Lanny Davis GO AWAY!

Let's make this country great again!

Obama/Nunn in 2008!

MANY CLINTON SUPPORTERD HAVE STATED THAT IS NOT HER THEN THEY WILL VOTE FOR MCCAIN, WHY?, THEY SAY THAT THE MICHIGAN AND FL VOTES WERE STOLEN, HOW?

OH I GET IT… CLINTON IS MORE IN LINE WITH MCCAIN HENCE THE REPUBLICANS, AND CLINTON DID NOT BREAK THE RULES AND TRY TO MAKE NEW ONES……………. I GET IT NOW…… THE NOCOMMONSENSE ARGUMENT…. BRILLIANT..

OBAMA……………….. PRESIDENTIAL NOMINEE 2008……………… GOTTA LOVE IT

A big poll, only if he had a bigger one than Hillary.

I have learned that there are Republicans posing as angry Clinton supporters trying to keep us divided. Do not believe it. The Repubs are desparate and will try anything because they know they are toast this year. They think we are dumb enough to vote McCain in because of their bogus posts. Democrats will be united in November! Get ready for defeat McCain, Bush, Cheney and then gang.

Awesome!!!!!!!!!!! Yes we CAN!!!!!!!! Let's unite !!!

We Love you Obama!!

Obama is a joke. If it weren't for the black vote of 99% he would
have never beat Clinton.

This guy couldn't fight his way out of a paper bag.

Write Hillary on the Ballot or vote McCain

NO OBAMA

Obama/Webb -

Webb is the only Democrat that is hard nosed and can say anything to McCain about military service. Others have some pluses and service; but Webb's son is in the thick of it and Webb is an Applachia boy.

My second choice would have been Rendell, but that video of him praising Farrakhan is a problem. So I would pick Hagel.

A VOTE FOR MCCAIN = A VOTE AGAINST CLINTON

Clinton said Obama's a better choice.
This weekend, she'll be ENDORSING him.
Clinton will DEFINITELY be a part of the Washington decision making process if Obama is elected.

So… your candidate loses the primary, and in return, you vote for a candidate that will ignore her versus one that will appoint her to a better place in federal government?

An analogy: your kid doesn't get into UC Davis, but does get into UC Berkeley and Sparky's Mail-Order Technical Certificate Program, and because you're pi**ed at the UC system not allowing him into Davis, you send him to Sparky's?

As of RIGHT NOW,
A VOTE FOR OBAMA = A VOTE FOR CLINTON

Billy Fla

Scuse me. I happen to be white and there were plenty of white as well as other races to vote for him as well.

So try again.

… He is good on everything - including jocks! … America can't affored loosing this guy!

We're with you Obama…. The American People are ready to take back Washington. We want change and we want a better life for everyone.

Obama/American People '08&'12

Priceless

That was pretty funny!!!! I really like this guy….you gotta love him… he shows so much of what every American wants in a President.

Billy,

If it wasn't for women and Bill, Hillary would have not made it past Iowa.

Obama's healthcare plan sucks. He should let Hillary
take care of it. Hers makes much more sense.

His would not cover everyone, so there would still be
a burden to taxpayers for the uncovered citizens.

Hey Hill Billy …..dont hate partiscipate

Agree 100% my vote goes for McCain… not a chance of OB getting my vote even if he was running by himself.

Funny man indeed.

Cue the Hillary supporters whining about Obama . . . Oh wait, Billy Fla is already here.

FYI, Billy, Obama didn't get 99% of the black vote, I think at his highest he was around 90% - that would be the same percentage of the black vote that elected Bill Clinton twice. Maybe you should consider *facts* in your analysis?

Oh, and what percentage of the dried up old feminist vote did Hillary get? I'm sure you can do the math.

What a clown!

I have sent in my paperwork to change my party affiliation from Democrat to Independent, and that is after being a loyal Democrat for the last 30 years. I donated to McCain last night and will continue to do so until I reach the max, just like I did with Hillary.

I will vote for McCain in November. NOTHING Obama says or does between now and then will ever change my mind, not even if he does the hippo dance with fat Oprah. The primary was stolen from the most qualified candidate, and my Florida vote wasn't counted when it would have made a difference thanks to the idiotic leadership of the Democratic Party.

I cannot vote for an inexperienced, radical left-wing racist who has very questionable connections and has said some very strange things in his book. His wife is even worse than he is.

I survived eight years of Bush. McCain is better than Bush and FAR better than Obama. I can survive four years of McCain. I'm not sure any of us would survive four years of Obama.

I can wait until 2012 to elect a better Democrat than Obama. He's the worst I've ever seen.

Give me a barf bag.

I can't believe the level of violence that Obama is capable of.

Can we really trust this guy with anything??

I think that was an offensive threat that he needs to apologize for!!

An Interesting story!

Billy Fla you are so racist. Let it go man

This is a really nice gesture from Charles Edwards . Obama will have to save that gift forever. That stick is very symbolic. Bravo Obama! This is our time and we all love you.

Awww, "Billy" is a scared little boy. It'll be ok, Billy boy!

Let's WHUP McBush first!!!

Obama '08

MikeG you are so right…..I can't wait for Obama

"I'll whup em" , "lets give it up for" and "thats cool". Is this some kind of new White House jive. hahaha

McTeleprompter might come out with a new walker himself.

LOL, GREAT

Obama is so down to earth. YES WE CAN

Obama is a joke with a very unfunny punch line.

I am a Democrat who loves his country too much to vote for or support in any way a candidate from any party who is not known, experienced and qualified for the office.

The leadership of the Democratic Party failed us.

McCAIN DEMOCRATS '08
A moderate Republican who is qualified for the office.

What was that stick represent in AFrican American community? I'd like to know

95-year old man must be very proud of Obama

Keep saying Obama is a joke. The joke is then at your expense.

Obama should take his time in picking his V.P. and take no pressure from anybody but McCain.

Um, Billy Fla. You do know that the African American population is only 13%, right? There is no way that Obama can win with just the black vote.

Obama did not vote 18M times, the people of this country did.

I HAVE A REAL SHOCKER FOR THE CLINTON-SUPPORTERS!

OBAMA WON THE POPULAR VOTE! MEANING HE GOT MORE THAN $17 MILLION!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

SO PLEASE STOP "SAYING WITH HAVE 17 MILLION PEOPLE SUPPORTING US!" YOU LOST 50% OF THAT NUMBER THE MINUTE OBAMA BECAME THE NOMINEE . ONLY 12% OR ROUGHLY 2 MILLION OF THAT 17 MILLION WILL NOT VOTE FOR OBAMA AND THAT IS OKAY!

THE POINT IS YOU NEED TO CHANGE YOUR VERBAGE — YOU ARE NOT 17 MILLION STRONG! IT IS LIKE BUYING A NEW CAR, THE MINUTE YOU DRIVE IT OFF THE LOT, THE CAR'S VALUE DEPRECIATES SUBSTANTIALLY!!!

SO MUCH FOR THE REAL WORLD BABY — LOVE IT OR LEAVE IT!!!!

Senator Obama is smart and has a sense of humor. I am a proud and thankful Obama supporter. I'm glad with this long primary he can also have a minute to have fun as well.

this is one reason i am voting for obama in november

Billy - FL,

We will never come together as a nation and meet our goals with this garbage talk about us and them. Black, White or whatever.

Obama supporters could say that if it weren't for 99% of the white vote Obama would have won WV. But what good would that do? Other than divide us into two groups of Americans where the special interest groups want us.

Don't give in to these simple emotions, be better than that.

I don’t know where all the last ditch negativity in the blogs is coming from but in real life, everyone I know is so excited about Obama. So glad!

Gotta love this guy - Have to say I'm warming up to him.

Obama/Clinton 08

to all Hillary supporters will you give it a rest she didnot repeat did not win she was not cheated out of any votes the 18,000,000 is not toally right it depends on who math you want to use.Billy from FLA he got 99% of the black vote where as she claim that she got the support of working white pople it the horse of a diffrent color.

Obama is a joke…

Come down everyone just relax and take a chill pill.

Billy Fla, your racism is showing. Even Hillary wouldn't want your vote if the only reason you'll vote for her is because she is not black! Grow up and show some respect .

The modern day prophet Moses……comes to mind. This guy has it all….even Jesus Christ him self was a political machine….with meekness and kindness but standing for what is right and doing things correctly was his message…..he humbled himself and took on the wages of this world and fought hard and pressed against all that oppposed him ( Washington as it is today)……what a miracle we have found in Barack Obama…..this has been a long time coming.

A write in for Hillary is a vote for Obama. Hillary supporters please remember this. OBAMA - ARROGANT

I have learned that there are many Republicans posing as angry Clinton supporters trying to keep us divided. Do not believe it. The Repubs are desparate and will try anything because they know they are toast this year. They think we are dumb enough to vote McCain in because of their bogus posts. Democrats will be united in November! Get ready for defeat McCain, Bush, Cheney and then gang.

if only he were serious about beating up congress…

NO OBAMA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! NO OBAMA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

He is so gracious. He will make all nations respect us again. At least, he is willing to listen to people, not like the current Occupant.

Hi folks, I just completed some very interesting reading about Sen Obama and his so-called Muslim faith…..people who believe this crap should research this awesome man. There is a person in Congress who was sworn in office with a Koran…guess what - its not Sen Obama.

Obama 08

Billy Fla, this is for you:

Let's see, if Black people had not voted for Hillary she would have lost by a larger margin. If white people had not voted for Hillary she would have lost. If white people had not voted for Barack he would have lost. You make no sense. Every candidate needs and wantes everybody's vote and it doesn't matter what color they are. You never heard Hillary telling Black people not to vote for her did you? No, because she wanted those votes just as much as Barack. Let me guess, "yer not too fond of dark folks, huh?'

I personally will love seeing Obama in the White House for the next eight years as all you republicans have loved seeing Bushthe past eight. wait a minute, that's right, you all regret that vote now.

Yay socialism! Take money from hard working people and give it to me so I can get my medicine because I don't take care of myself yaaaaaaaaaaaaay! Socialized medical care is going to be great. Just look at how socialism has worked out in other countries. Plus it sounds a lot better than communism, even though thats what it really is! Sweet!

Obama your the Chosen one and we will accept you with open arms!!! We love you man!!!

Billy Fla - You obviously don't know how tough Chicago really is. You are obviously part of the racist 20% percent of voters that said race was the reason for not voting for Obama. You and the Harriet Christians of the world can just steep in your self-loathing. Too bad. So sad.

PERSONALITY!

CARRY THE ROD BARAKAMOSES AND LEAD AMERICA TO THE PROMISE OF CHANGE!!!

Sometimes a stick is just a stick. Love his sense of humor.

Billy FLA,

Don't worry Obama will fix our Public Education system so you can get your GED and go to college. Maybe once you can Read you'll understand that the South lost the Civil War, that Racism is Bad, and that Progress is something ignorance cannot defeat.

Billy is not racist. Just stupid. If any hillary supporters vote for McCain out of bitterness then they loose any right to complain when this country goes down the tubes because McCain is president.

Ahhh…That resonates so well: "And, I stand before you as the Democratic nominee for president of the United States of America."

I am ready Obama. I mailed my voter registration form on Tuesday to change from Republican to Democrat…just to be able to vote for you.

Billy Fla

Clinton Started out with the Black vote, then she started bashing Obama and downplaying his wins. This angered many who felt she was belittling a serious candidate

Obama won a majority of the white vote in many states (Iowa, Indiana, Oregon ETC)

THIS GUY IS TOTALLY DILUSIONAL .

Billy Fla - is an undercover Republican (scared to admit it) I would be too if I was a Republican who tried there best to run this country (whom they claim they love - cant tell) in the ground the last 8 years…. anybody that doesnt vote Democratic would ruin this country for a very very very long time… not only will they suffer but there children and possibly there grandchildren due to there ignorance. Its about the issues, The War, Economy, Gas and Food Prices, High Unemployment, etc …. Theres no room for ignorance or personal opinions this election - get it right or we all suffer!

You Obama haters need read this.
Factcheck.org: McCain misrepresenting Iran vote

McCain nothing but a liar. Spinning tales. Distorting the truth.

I am so proud of the United States voters who got behind Barack Obama and supported him on his way to become President of the U.S. I am a white 74 year old American. I love this country and any warts it might have, fully believing that whoever is our President is a person who also loves this country and will do the best they know for the U.S. I am sure the people of this world hold us in higher esteem than previously and admire the voters in the U.S. for our unbiased regard for this leader of our country.

in the words of President Roosevelt, "Speak softly and carry a big stick"

It sounds great. And who is Obama going to "Whup"? His Democratic majority, like Pelosi, Reid, Dodd, Murtha and everybody else who worries about reelection? He's gonna "whup" the minority Republicans? Why does he think Hillary failed in 1993-94? Only when we can have an honest discussion of why health care costs so much in this country compared to the rest of the world can we even hope to reduce the costs. I can't wait for Obama to take on the trial lawyers, the drug companies, the Medicare and Medicaid fraudsters, the elderly, etc. Sounds like we are being had.

OBAMA-CAROLINE KENNADY TICKET 08

Hey Billary…quick, they are repossessing your trailer. Make sure you get the confederate flag out first.

How's the General Lee running these days?

Mr. Edwards made that maple walking stick himself. It is beautiful, and hopefully it will help Senator Obama walk to 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue as our President in January 2009

Ummm…whats with a stick as a "gift". I'm gonna go give him a "rock".

Heather June 5th, 2008 4:20 pm ET

I personally will love seeing Obama in the White House for the next eight years as all you republicans have loved seeing Bushthe past eight. wait a minute, that's right, you all regret that vote now.

————

people just don't get it. They need to use their brain sometimes. Instead of bringing hate, they should way in both things, write cons and pros. Who has more pros and less cons? Then make the judgement. Republicans, don't be stupid, make the right decision!!

Billy in Florida..IF it were not for the 99% black vote???? Come on!! we could say the same for the so called popular white vote for Hillary.

Please grow up!!! This is why certain people do not need to say anything on these blogs. You sound very ignorant…

CNN please post this!!! It is truly time to come together as one party and stop all this racist talk.

I can't believe anyone would seriously consider voting for McCain after all of his gaffes on what's supposedly his "strong suit" - handling the mess in Iraq - especially if one were a Hillary Clinton supporter up to this point. The idea that Grampy McSame is acceptable to a person of progressive politics is just ridiculous.

Obama '08

What a wonderful gesture!

Thank you Charles Edwards.

I can just imagine how this American must be feeling, he is 95 years young, and I am pretty sure that, even a few short weeks ago, he would never have believed that he would be witnessing this "AWESOME HISTORICAL" event!

This is really a very exciting, and astounding period in American History

I'd like to see McCain and Obama two man campaigning together and talk about the healthcare. I really want to see where Sen. Obama stands. We still don't know much about him. He has been protected by the media too much. "Trust" is important.

To Billy Fla,

You should petition your state to fund for better schooling in your area. As it sounds, you didn't receive the best education as a kid, if you had, you might realize that the only joke is the ignorance coming from your way of thinking.

Regards,
FROM A FORMER REPUBLICAN!!!!

Lanny Davis and Bob Johnson! Dear God! You couldn't find two people MOST UNLIKELY to persuade Obama to accept Hillary as his VP…yet these clowns are leading the noisy and annoying campaign.

Way to go Obama for not being pressured away from good judgement! Real presidents don't get persuaded by implicit threats, they make decisions based on sound judgement not fear. To concede to something as meek as yapping Chi hua hua, Lenny Davis, or as self-absorbed as Bob Johnson, would be undoubtedly, be an act of APPEASEMENT.

I read a post on a different string that purported to quote the Audacity of hope. Having read “Audacity” twice, I believe the quote is inaccurate - in fact, totally made up. Beware, as the lying, fearmongering, hatemongering smear campaign is beginning.

To Bill Fla:
Please keep blogging. The more filth you purvey, the more repulsed decent Americans will be from you cause. That's why I believe strongly in free speach, because people like you reveal yourselves with it .. and, yes, I put Rev. Wright's worst statements in that category, too!

To others, don't worry about those kind of posts - the only ones that will pay any attention to such crap are racists, and they weren't going to vote for Obama anyway.

No more Bush!!!!!

This guy is great. You can't help but love him.

Remember 18 million voted for him too. And he won Illinois, and Minnesota which is a Midwestern swing state. This man is going places, and I can't wait to see him as president in 2009.

Funny man. Not like the smirking immature cowBOY we had last time. A more intelectually mature funny man.

Yes Let's Go Obama

Obama/Nunn '08

Our Man!

Gotta love him! Nice to see a change = great sense of humor!

People can say what they want————- He is going to be our next president and he is going to be a GREAT president!

Go President Obama!

What a clown!

I have sent in my paperwork to change my party affiliation from Democrat to Independent, and that is after being a loyal Democrat for the last 30 years. I donated to McCain last night and will continue to do so until I reach the max, just like I did with Hillary.

I will vote for McCain in November. NOTHING Obama says or does between now and then will ever change my mind, not even if he does the hippo dance with fat Oprah.

I survived eight years of Bush. McCain is better than Bush and FAR better than Obama. I can survive four years of McCain. I'm not sure any of us would survive four years of Obama.

I can wait until 2012 to elect a better Democrat than Obama. He's the worst I've ever seen.

I just had the best idea ever:

Congress can impose a tax on tax flowery speeches and empty rhetoric. That way, Obama can solve all our fiscal problems just by opening his mouth in public. The government would just be rakin' it in from Obama's campaign every time he speaks.

HILLARY SUPPORTER FOR McCAIN

McCain for President '08
Vote YES to experienced and qualified leadership from a moderate Republican!

For all of you folks out there who will not vote for Obama because he is black (BILLY), I just have one little request. ADMIT IT!

Stop saying that Hillary was more qualified. Stop saying that he is inexperienced. Stop saying McCain is more experienced.

Just be honest and say you won't vote for him because he is black. Be honest.

Any honest racists out there?

Oh, please - Obama - go take a convertible ride through Dallas!!!!

No Debby, that's the way modern Americans speak. Look into it.

Right on!!! Finally someone that tells it like it is. I'm so proud of our president to be Obama. God bless and protect him. We love you Obama!

All of you "former democrats" OR "If not Clinton then McCain" are idiots.
So we get this straight—you were NEVER A DEMOCRAT to begin with, so don't disrespect the rest of us that are TRUE DEMOCRATS. Sounds to me like you are supporting Clinton because she is a WOMAN and NOT for what she stands for and what issues we face as Americans. If you were a democrat you would see that voting for McCain is going AGAINST EVERYTHING A TRUE DEMOCRAT STANDS FOR.
*If you truly support Clinton you would stop being so stubborn and listen to her when she says "it would be a terrible mistake to vote for McCain"… even she is going to support Obama.

Get over it.

Obama will be president.

I think that Caroline Kennedy would bridge the gap and would be an excellent choice for Obama's Vice President

THIS NEEDS TO BE ON THE FRONT PAGES OF ALL NEWS SOURCES! IT NEEDS TO BE ON THE HEADLINES NEWS!

THIS IS SOMETHING THAT IS AWESOME! I BET OBAMA WILL CHERISH THIS THE REST OF HIS LIFE!

THIS WAS NOT A THOUGHTLESS GIFT THIS ELDER GAVE TO OBAMA. IT WAS ONE FILLED WITH MUCH PRIDE AND THANKFULNESS THAT GOD ALLOWED HIM TO LIVE TO SEE THIS DAY, A DAY MOST OF US NEVER THOUGHT WE WOULD EVER SEE!

A WALKING STICK IS TO ENCOURAGE AND SUPPORT EACH STEP INTO THE FUTURE!

OBAMA WE ARE SO VERY, VERY PROUD OF YOU!

TO ALL THAT HELPED TO MAKE THIS DAY HAPPEN I SAY THANK YOU I DO REALIZE FOR A MANY OF YOU IT MEANT PUTTING ASIDE A LOT OF FEARS AND HATREDS, BUT YOU DID IT AND FOR THAT I SAY THANK YOU AND MAY GOD BLESS US ALL AS WE WALK INTO THE FUTURE TOGETHER AND UNITED!

ohhhh, Obami boy, have you a lot to learn.

Politics isn't politics because we love it. It's there because there's too much disagreement. You cannot alone change it. Jimmy Carter thought he could do it… that didn't happen.

You are not a super hero nor are you a more intelligent person than all the other former presidents. Sorry, but you'll find out soon enough.

Hillary supporters UNITE for her in 2012. She at least knows what she can change and what she can't alone change.

McCain '08 for Clinton '12
Obama - NEVER

Thank you OBAMA, for telling people clearly "to settle down" and have some Fun, with that big stick.
Hope people are capable of lightening up. Or, will your detractors be waiting to pick on every sentence you utter, like you're "not a believer in making decisions fast" I am sure the Repubs are going to pick up where Mrs. Clinton left off about the 3 am phone call, after that!

Billy Fla you are just one racist biggot !!! its not obama faults that he got the black votes in such a higher percentage. Remember last year in September, Nov through Dec. they said (clinton camp) he wasnt black enough following the polls and now you are whining!!! please go vote McCain.. who do u thing you are? You represent the past just as Mcbush!goodnite and goodfight

wrong!!!!!!!!
mccain and republicans will whup u

gotta love this dude!!!

As a McCain Supporter I think you Hillary Zealots are acting rather silly…..

I find that all you people screaming that you'll vote for McCain because Hillary is not the Nominee to be extremely ignorant. I ask you this…why did you support Hillary?? Was it because of her policies? Was it because she belonged to the Democratic Party? Or was it because she was a woman?

I challenge all of you who would rather vote for McCain than Hillary to truthfully answer this question: Why would you vote for someone who has the complete opposite views and policies of Hillary just because Obama is the nominee?

The Republican party does not need flip-flops like yourself trying to represent our values and ideals. You got in bed with Clinton and the Dems……STAY in that bed. We don't need you to win this election.

"Billy Fla June 5th, 2008 4:09 pm ET

Obama is a joke. If it weren't for the black vote of 99% he would
have never beat Clinton.

This guy couldn't fight his way out of a paper bag.

Write Hillary on the Ballot or vote McCain

NO OBAMA"
————————————————————————————————

Ah Billy, your ignorance just shines through like a nuclear core in the night. Only 13% of blacks in NC voted for Obama even if that was 90% of the black In NC; Why don't you stop and do some research or are you of that generation in W. Virginia or Kentucky and can't help yourself because of your inbreeding. You claim he couldn't figure his way out of a paper bag, since he beat Hillary, what does that say about her then? :-/

Obama/Sebelius or Nunn '08/12

wow. we'll actually have a clever president who can tell a story and crack a joke while still looking and sounding like a grown man. what a change from the last 8 years!!!

i am a young white non-college educated woman and i picked obama for the win in early january. i want the first female president to have gotten there on her own, not ridden her husband's coat-tails to the top.

This man has been my hero since his Senatorial election and his books. Illinois for Obama '08!!!

Obama consistently encourages me daily! Statesman, intelligent, humble, and a sense of humor. I wouldn't care if he was purple in color! He's the most uplifting presidential candidate we have had since RFK.

I love his sense of humor and how he plays it off as serious. But at the same time, you know he is serious about being tough.

I really respect this guy for being human instead of nothing but a mindless political robot.

As a Hillary supporter, I will do my part and rally behind the Democratic Nominee, Senator Obama. How Hillary's followers can really think voting for McCain is the answer to their woes, I have no idea. Obama and Hillary have almost the same stances on every issue. McCain is worlds apart from both of them.

Am I the only Hillary supporter that realizes even if ALL the votes and Delegates from Florida and Michigan were counted the way they were distributed, she still would not have won? She still would have have needed Superdelegates to put her over the top maybe if she were ahead as well. The superdelegates ruined the party except if they had voted for her instead.

This really isn't fair. You talk of them unifying the party … do your part. Stand behind the candidate that Hillary will be standing behind. It's absurd to do anything else. Barack Obama has my vote, even as I peel my Hillary stickers off my car bumper. Grow up people. This is much more important than your shattered egos over the primary loss of someone that doesn't even know you exist.

Hillary supporter for Obama '08!

We believe you about the "Whoopin" Barack.
I bet Hillary could testify to that………….

But hold up, McCain is next in line to get his "whoopin".
He will be calling you "Daddy" when it's all over.

It never suprises me that old antiquated attitudes are really what keeps this country separated. If everyone jumps off the color bandwagon, then maybe just maybe ,all of us together, could just focus on the issues, to determine the next leader of our great country…Have we as Americans, (no matter what color), so petty, we can't move forward? Those who are willing to vote for McSame, are you really ready to let gas prices climb to $10 per gallon, continue the Iraq / Iran war over oil, keep letting our country over run with illegals, keeping everyone divided, until the Chinese and Arabs unite and take over our country? Is that what you really want? Oh, and don't forget about all the American lives, that will continue to be lost, fighting a war we cannot win….Do you really want the entire rest of the world to continue hating us?

It's your call America, at the end of the day, we are still in this together,like it or not. Be smart and make the right choice, before it's too late. God bless our country. The greatest country on earth, before we are completely bankrupted by this unwinnable war.
We all bleed red, white and blue.

Every Clinton supporter I talk to first says, "I'm not a racist.", then a bunch of other stuff, then, about half the time, they actually finish, "and I'm not voting for that black man!", or words to that effect. 'Nuff said.

OBAMA IS A FAKE! I CANT WAIT FOR NOV AND SEE OBAMA LOSE

White/Black/Brown Veteran Brothers–

Your post is so ignorant I don't even know how to respond. Only stupid people ignore the reality and press on with idealistic stupidity–while they are becoming enslaved.
You're a lemming.

Obama–you won't win……you offended a lot of people with your church and choice of friends.

We won't forget……….we are not fooled by people

LB, just because someone does not support Obama does not mean they are racist. In fact, YOUR racism (though not towards blacks obviously) has been revealed.

Obama should raise his butt and hand over the stick to McCain come November.

This simple gesture and unique gift from a common, elderly old man to a new generational leader was not only emotionally touching, Obama has a unique gift of converting a simple moment into a powerful and memorable message

Integrity, intelligence, strength.
Vote Obama 2008.

Hmmm,
It's funny how people say "without the Black vote", Obama could not have won. That's interesting, because didn't he win like 30+ states. Most of which are predominantly "NON BLACK".

That's about as foolish as saying "Without the women vote", then Hillary would not have one.

Duh, every vote counts regardless of your specific race, sex, religion, or creed.

Democrats unite.

awesome hijinks. very Presidential

Brian Knoxville it is unbelievable that knowing the state of the Company you would elect George Bush's policies for four more years. What is wrong with this country?

Hit 'em with a stick!

Congress to Obama. HAHAHAHHAHAHAHA!!!

We just have to keep our constituents happy. You keep on acting like you run something, though.

I just hope that he surprises all of the Hillary supporters (myself included) and becomes one of the best Presidents this country has ever had, if not I told you so will be ringing loud and clear from nearly 18 million people.

I love Obama!! No matter what I noticed people are always going to say something smart… Leave him alone. All he wants to do is make everything better for us Americans, yet some of you people are talking about voting for McCain. Put that prejudiceness aside and think about what is best for the USA. You are only sealing your fate with that nonsense. Crazy yet funny.

Obama 2008!! Its about the people not oil!! NO MORE REPUBLICANS!

cmon people give him abreak hes human so if you tell a joke or do a funny thing its wrong cmon i like that he can be funny and serious at the same time lighten up people he still is HUMAN!!!!!!

YES WE CAN!!!!!!!!!

Senator Obama, please use that stick to whup Lanny Davis as hard as you can!

Obama/Sebelius for 2008

I LOVE THIS GUY!!!

To Billy: not only are Black like 14% of this population, and cannot alone carry a nominee, meaning a LOT more whites voted for him to win

and two, so you think its unfair for black to vote for Obama and okay if women vote for hillary. Bottom line, PEOPLE LOVE THIS COUNTRY FOR THEIR FREEDOM TO VOTE FOR WHOEVER!!! So don't knock people for expressing their rights!!

and lastly, a pro Obama vote was not necessarily an anti-hillray vote. If Black voted for him because they are PROUD, then you can't knock them for that. If women voted voted for hillary because they were proud, then you can't knock them either! Either way, vote for what makes sence to you and do not look down on others for their vote, that is waht makes america america!!!!!!

You can try and sway people to vote a certain way based on what they stand for, but to get mad and say black should not vote for Obama because they are proud of the first balck candidate is just plain ignorant and hateful….lat time i checked, this is a free country, and we can vote for who best represents us!!!!

hasnt he beaten us all over the head enough already? please tell this fake to shut up and sit down!!!!

Looks like there's a new hate group in America!!! You are enraged because the black man beat your white woman fair and square. So now you are threatening to attack your own party, African Americans and innocent Americans in the process. I dare you!!!! I PROMISE, YOU WILL NEVER SEE A WHITE WOMAN NOMINATED BY THE DEMOCRATS IN YOUR LIFETIME. YOU ARE A DISGRACE TO WOMEN AND HAVE ALREADY SET BACK ALL THEY HAVE GAINED IN AMERICA.

Has Anyone Seen Hillary!

Wow, this is inspiring. Truly. Making jokes about healthcare reform while people are dying.

Kind of reminiscent of our current president….

Princeton,NJ

If Obama loses you lose idiot…

Old fat white lady here–all for Obama!

Here's an idea that could work:

Congress should impose a tax on flowery speeches with orgasmic flourishes and on all empty rhetoric. That way, the government would just be rakin' it in from Obama's campaign every time he speaks. He can totally solve all our fiscal problems just by opening his mouth in public.

HILLARY SUPPORTER FOR McCAIN

McCain for President '08
Vote YES to experienced and qualified leadership from a moderate Republican!

Obama is a second-rate, sleazy lightweight.

Obama will be the first African American President. He represents the best in all of us with his ethnic background and being raise by his grandparents who were white. He can truly have empathy in a way no other candidate can for all races.

I take it as sign that he will officially be named the Democratic nominee is on the anniversary of Martin Luther King Jr's "I Have A Dream" speech. Martin Luther King's oldest son just had his first child - a daughter Yolanda Renee King. I see this as a rebirth for our nation and the realization of King's Dream moving onto a new generation.

JOHN MCCAIN IS TELLING US EVERY DAY HE WANTS TO CONTINUE THE WAR. ON DAY ONE THAT IS MCCAIN'S MAIN OBJECTIVE IS TO PROVE HE AND BUSH ARE RIGHT ABOUT THIS WAR. WE NEED TO LISTEN CLOSELY TO WHAT MCCAIN IS SAYING WHEN HE TELLS US OBAMA WANTS TO END THE WAR. PLEASE DON'T VOTE FOR MCCAIN, HE IS ONLY RUNNING TO PROVE HE WAS RIGHT ABOUT THIS WAR AND TO BOMB IRAN.

I'm an Obama supporter who hunts, fishes, carries a gun, etc. I'm what a Republican is supposed to be. And I take offense to anyone calling another racist for saying they will not vote for Obama. It isn't racist for a former Hillary supporter to say they'd rather vote McCain. Stupid maybe, but not racist. Bitter and ignorant are better words to describe these former Hillary supporters who were so blinded by the fact she was a woman or that her last name was Clinton to see how she really ran her campaign. She was bitter, nasty, and walked the same line dredged out by Karl Rove. Obama repeatedly took the high road. If they don't see it, then fine. They can do what they want, but you can't defeat ignorance with more ignorance.

To: "Rick in NYC June 5th, 2008 4:35 pm ET"

I wish everyone would echo your same sentiments.
All Democrats should take a page from you, and stand behind our nominee. Nothing was "stolen". This race was won fair and square (the same way that Bill won it in the 90's - wink, wink).

Democrats unite.

He is the Congressmen, he is the Congress himself. Is he going to whup himself also? Who does he have on mind when he said "them"? As Independent I'm going to vote against Obama, doesn't matter who is on the other side. People, who are pro-Obama had been manipulated by lobbyst and media. Sorry for you, naive Americans.

Well at least there is enough disgruntled Democrats to get a Third Party some recognition.

Nader/Gonzales '08

CNN, please stop postiing racial comments on your blogs. This is not about blacks or whites it's about healing our country. Both candidates had diverse voters. I have been voting for about thirty years and never been ask my race, age or religion on the ballot.

Obama won because he had better "planning and organization" and presented a platform that spoke to the nation's desire to deviate from the political disaster known as the Bush Administration. Furthermore, he was by far the most presidential candidate. Hillary fell victim to a campaign that inspired a nation when all she attempted was to remind everyone how good it was when Bill was in office.

By the way…if Hillary hadn't received 90% of the female vote she wouldn't have even been in contention for the nomination.

I really wish the Clinton followers would at least try to be gracious. One side had to "lose" but really in the end with a Democrat in the White House we all win.

Obama is a "real" person. He's not a stuffed suit. He is on the surface and not uptight.

I find it sooooo refreshing!!

All you crazy obssesed supporters of HRC need to stop. I am a Obama supporter but if HRC would of won Id give my vote to her. Only because I believe that both of them are true Americans. We need to all work together and get the republicans out!! I am tired of seeing our country go down!! Voting for McSame will only be hurting you!! That man stands for nothing HRC or Obama stands for. Half of you sound jeolous and prejudice. GOD have mercy on you!

Tired of the hatred! Tired of the BS! Stop the drama and vote Obama!

You know this man means well. You just can accept the fact that he is the nominee… Don't vote at all. I wish you werent ignorant.

Obama is a phenomenal individual. I can't wait to vote for him in November.

Made me wish my father could have lived to see this day.

OBAMA 08!…. how can you call yourself a democrat if you vote for McCain. It doesn't make since! GO OBAMA, lets make history!

NO LEADER OF OURS IN RECENT HISTORY

HAS HAD THIS MUCH LOVE FOR US.

SAD TO SAY TO MANY OF THEM WE HAVE BEEN

NOTHING BUT A MEANS FOR THEM TO GET A BUCK.

"
I am a Democrat who loves his country too much to vote for or support in any way a candidate from any party who is not known, experienced and qualified for the office."

Let me correct you on his qualification:

Age and Citizenship requirements - US Constitution, Article II, Section 1

No person except a natural born citizen, or a citizen of the United States, at the time of the adoption of this Constitution, shall be eligible to the office of President; neither shall any person be eligible to that office who shall not have attained to the age of thirty-five years, and been fourteen years a resident within the United States.

So please, you and others stop saying he isn't qualified.

Be careful Democrats.

Alot of Republicans are writing these blogs trying to
stir up more dissension between us.

Real Dems, even if you are strongly for Hillary or Obama,
dont allow yourself to vote out of anger.

Voting for McCain is the worst thing you could do.

We have nothing in common with direction he wants
to take this country.

If the economy was good, gas prices were low, housing was
affordable, America was respected abroad, the war in Iraq was over and the country was safe,
it wouldnt matter how much I liked or disliked the President.

DONT LET YOUR ANGER VOTE FOR YOU.

I have never made a good decision with anger built up.

Praetorian, Fort Myers

Shut up.lol. I don't think you know what the definition of ignorance is because it be a big fat picture of you under it!! lol.

Thats right Obama we welcome you with open hands!!! Black,white,mexican, whatever you are a President and hater and in November!!

Obama 2008!! We believe!

The race is tight because of his arrogance, he brushed Clinton off his shoulders, and we know what that really meant. We who support her are angry at the media and the DNC for the way they have tried to push her out. Why wasn't everyone up in arms when Kennedy took his fight to the convention and he needed 800 delegates. Everyone is trying to portray her as a villian for campaigning to the end. A party destroyer for her determination to fight for the votes of every American. Why , because she is a woman? Obama owes a lot of favors the news today explains Deans support of Obama. How many more favors will Obama begin to repay? What did he promise Nancy Pelosi? The Kennedy support must mean a Kennedy as VP? Kerry, what is his pay back? Maybe if enough of them can be a Secretary of something we can change congress. They will have to vacate their seats and open up the election process. That is of course if Obama makes it in November. I will write Hillary Clinton on my ballots as will my brothers and sisters, cousins, aunts, uncles etc. thirty that I know of, and they know people that I don't. Obama-bots say those who voted for Hillary because she is a woman, are sexist. What does that make Obama supporters who voted for him because he is black..RACIST? I thought so

Former democrat,
Go to the independent party who need ya. Maybe you and that hack Lou Dobbs can bunk together. Ever notice he always criticizes Obama and for the most part his guests always feel likewise but he rarely has anyone on that supprots Obama on the same crack panel.

For the record you are the one who sounds like a clown.

BARACK OBAMA WE LOVE YOU RIGHT BACK.

See, it is the typical IMAGE OF "B votes/supports B".
Don't you agree now that Democratic Party has been hijacked by the B community?
God bless USA…

Cnn probably won't post this but….

Hillary Clinton supporters are laughable with ther comments.

I am soooo proud to be a white american today.

Can't wait to say President Obama!

You are stately articulate, honest and you're just what our country needs!

I am not sure that you will print this as I am from Canada and I have no real value as far your election goes but..

I cannot believe that your moderator actually printer the the previous statement above from "Stephina" in which /she said

"Oh, please - Obama - go take a convertible ride through Dallas!!!!"

That is tasteles hateful and very disgusting..come Moderator of comments how could you in good conscience print that…
If I continue to see statements like this being accepted by your moderator ..I will not only stop veiwing your web page and but also stop watching CNN and encourage my friends up here in Canada to do so also..
Our province up here has the label of being "redneck" but even up here the statement from Stephina would not even be uttered…
Come on CNN ..I realize that censorship sucks but catering to statements by actually posting them such as what Stephina said cannot be condoned…

To Rick in NYC:

"As a Hillary supporter, I will do my part and rally behind the Democratic Nominee, Senator Obama. How Hillary's followers can really think voting for McCain is the answer to their woes, I have no idea. Obama and Hillary have almost the same stances on every issue. McCain is worlds apart from both of them.
…
This really isn't fair. You talk of them unifying the party … do your part. Stand behind the candidate that Hillary will be standing behind. It's absurd to do anything else. Barack Obama has my vote, even as I peel my Hillary stickers off my car bumper. Grow up people. This is much more important than your shattered egos over the primary loss of someone that doesn't even know you exist."

Amen to that! About time we heard some common sense instead of bitter divisiveness, from both sides I might add. Thanks Rick!

What a REAL person!!! That's what humor is. Not "that's Barack Obama dodging a bullet," or whatever Huckabee said. I love this man and he's going to win this by a landslide.

Obama/Sebelius 2008

TO HILLARY SUPPORTERS:

Not everyone who supports Obama (or Clinton) are vile and filled with hate. I have been for Obama since the beginning but Hillary was my second choice. And I would have voted for her and donated to her if she won. And I support her as VP.

ALSO - I'm certain Hillary will get a position in the cabinet or somewhere that is what she wants - SO A VOTE FOR McCAIN IS A VOTE AGAINST HILLARY getting a leadership role in government.

TO OBAMA SUPPORTERS:

Remember that republicans are posing as democrats on these blogs trying to get us to fight - some might be posing as Clinton supporters and some as Obama supporters. Don't take the bait. Be decent to fellow democrats.

"Billy Fla" - The entire African American population of the U.S. on only about 12.5%. It would be impossible for Obama to win the nomination if he only got the Black vote. To win the nomination you need votes from all ethnic groups.

"Stephina June 5th, 2008 4:30 pm ET

Oh, please - Obama - go take a convertible ride through Dallas!!!!"

Jesus Lady! What is wrong with you!!! How Dare you say that!!!

Wow,
I hope all the Hillary Supporters read posts by people like Stephina and see who you are getting involved with.

Hillary can use the stick when she becomes the VP.

Health care is generally seen among supporters of Hillary Clinton as her strongest point. Barack Obama should take advantage of this by appointing her as Secretary of Health and Human Services. The job would be perfect for her.

What a wonderful gesture, from one generation to the 'now' generation. NOW we will have someone in Washington who cares about all Americans.

God bless Senator Obama and God Bless the USA!!

Don't get sucked into the comments posted here by supposed HRC
supporters who are pledging their support for McSame.

THEY ARE POSERS, FAKES, FRAUDS.

Ignore them. If they are genuine, so be it, let them make own decision and live with it.

We just have to make sure that the idependants and republicans not voting for McSame come over to our side and support OBAMA.

He hasn't been the nominee for 48 hours and already the people are lavishing him with personal gifts. Don't be a player hater and get behind this good and honest man. Am I the only one that sees this country is in the crapper and this hero is here to save us and you too?!!

NOW YOU CAN BELIEVE WHAT WRIGHT SAID BEFORE AT HIS CHURCH?

I don't know about the rest of the country but I know that Obama has so moved this party to where it needs to be!!!!! My sister, was a dedicated Republican ,told me she was Voting for Obama! And she lives in California and white too.

So to all the Haters …

Why? Just get it togeather and know that Obama will be our next President of The United States. So relax and enjoy the ride there to the Whitehouse. Wake up now and not when we get there!

Note that the man has lived 95 years without Obama's health care plan. Imagine that!! Don't we have to have the government controlling our health to live that long?

Billy Fla,

If it wasn't for black voter and other voters, there will be no President Clinton, hence not Hillary Clinton as first lady or senator or as we know her today.

Give me a break! A 95 years old black man in America that has lived through segregation, who has witnessed slavery, and whose has parents were slaves should not rejoice with many other good hearted Americans to see history in the making?

What do you have against that?

Today blacks are racist because they voted for Obama who is 1/2 black and 1/2 white?

Nobody complained when blacks voted for Bill Clinton, Jimmy Carter, and all the white presidents since blacks were allowed to vote.

Who is racist here in reality?

Stephina - this comment is disgusting. You should be ashamed of yourself.

Stephina June 5th, 2008 4:30 pm ET

Oh, please - Obama - go take a convertible ride through Dallas!!!!

Why is it that the media doesn't get it with Obama.

It's not that they don't like him.
They don't like his church.
They don't like his beliefs.
They don't like his friends; Revered Wright/Father Pflager
They don't like his middle name.

Change to any of those is not at all Presidential.
It is just scary

He's going to "whip Congress?" Let's see if he can whip McCain first. I get the feeling Obama couldn't "whip" his way out of a paper bag, not without help from his wife and Oprah.

I didn't think people like Billy Fla still existed in the United States in 2008.

This election year has been historic in so many ways. Citizens around the world have been watching very closely!

Senator Barack Obama inspires a new day in America, a nation that was a shining beacon in the world not so long ago and will be again!….and then there is the America of Billy Fla.

Billy Fla please show Respect. Mr. Obama, you are our Hope.
Yes we can

Goodness gracious - this isn't the Obama I knew!

Former Democrat: I will support an American hero. And, the winner is John McCain!

2 days and he is already taking on some of George Bush's comedian
tactics.

i think barack obama is going to have to withstand about 15% of hillary supporters voting for john mccain by the time november comes around. that is my opinion whether or not hillary is on the ticket. it is such a waste of democratic votes simply because of the "hate" feelings.
however i believe barack can still win the presidency given that scenario.
i truly believe my grandkids deserve the future that barack is trying to give them, rather than the future john mccain is looking to create.
i'm a republican who will change sides for what i believe america deserves.

HE CAN BE A GOOD PASTER, A GOOD CIVIL ACTIVITIST, BUT ABSOLUTELY PRESIDENT.

IT TAKES LOVE, COURAGE, & INTELLIGENCE TO LEAD

A NATION. OUR BARACK HAS ALL THREE & THEN SOME.

I'm a Hillary supporter and I am angry. he should have never entered the race as she was the first viable woman for the job. He could have run later and gotten more experience! So don't blame the Republicans…we are angry!

It's about time somebody is going to whup the Democrats in Congress. Pelosi, Reid, Murtha, Boxer, watch out! A new sheriff is coming to Washington. His name is Obama and he is going to whup you!

I think it's hillarious that people think that this was 'offensive'. Did you watch the video and take it in context?

C'mon! Using words like "violence" to describe this exchange???

You're talking about a 95 year-old man who has waited his entire life for a moment like this. I am an Asian-American and neither I, nor any other race in this country can truly grasp the significance of this for African-Americans.

It saddens me that a politician cannot act like a human being and be respected for it.

Please learn to take things in context or look up the word sarcasm in the dictionary.

U can hate all you want, but the truth of the matter is Obama is going to be our next president. So please continue hating………

CNN should be able to use the stick too since they are responsible for making him the DEM nominee with bias reporting.

That's presidential?

A vote for McCain is not a vote against Clinton…It is a vote for the 2nd best candidate for President. Obama is not a choice, he's a disaster waiting to happen…Clinton is the best choice of the party but they wanted someone to control…Clinton is too smart and tough to be controlled by the elites in the "New Democratic Party". I am sad she is still being treated so badly by the party elites…

I will vote for McCain in November with the hope that in 4 years I can vote for Hillary again. Goodbye democrats, I will stay Independant, my new party of choice.

Hillary Clinton should exit the race with caution and she is doing so. Her supporters from what I have seen in blogs are prepared not to vote or vote for McCain. We are unhappy with the way the media has favored Obama from the start. Actually, CNN should collect a check from the Obama campaign for getting him the nomination!
