Awwww. Sorry. I'm not buying it. Especially after his appointment of Patti Solis Doyle -seems two-faced to me.

Is is just me or are there no republicans on these blogs? My guess is that 95% of these "hillary supporters" are really republicans posing as democrats because they are too embarrased of there own party, plus the only thing they have is to pretend to be Clinton backers and stir the pot. I haven't seen anyone on these blog in months that said that they were a republican.

Hilliary did everything she could to bring down Obama but it did not work! He is still a gentleman who refuses to stoop to her level — he is a fine politician who will lead this country to the much needed change from the unfaithful Clinton and unmentionable Bush years.

Many of you Clinton supporters are as devisive, vindictive and dishonable as she is! You'd rather vote for McBush than a Obama. It doesn't matter if you vote for Obama or not — HE WILL WIN without YOU!

Obama '08

Actually, she's been on the left side of every battle, Obama, but you've wishy-washed back and forth.

I still have my doubts about Obama's background. Is he hiding anything? His muslim beginnings still bother me. Why is there still a question about his birth certificate? Hawaii? Has anyone seen it? He is a very glib person, young and inexperienced in worldly politics.
The guy will not get my vote. The press should be asking tougher questions about these unknowns. Is any of his campaign money coming from the middle-east and cloaked in questionable disguised local contributors? Why are muslims so happy that this guy could be the next president of OUR country? AMEN!

What will say if Sen. Obama is elected? You are quick to say he will never become the president of the USA. But have you imagine if he does? What will you say then?

FOOD FOR THOUGHT.

Oh, boo hoo. Obama and his folks could not handle a vigorous campaign. What babies. Apparently plenty of other Democratic candidates did just fine campaigning til June. How cowardly to blame Hillary for his own inadequacies. He barely crawled across the finish line. He obviously doesn't have the strength — without whining — to be President.

We are not only electing a person, you know. We are choosing the path of this country for at least the next four years. For those of you who prefer Clinton to Obama, can you honestly say that Clinton's ideals and policies are more closely aligned to McCain's than Obama's? Is THAT the direction you want our country to go? I had a very hard time deciding between Clinton and Obama for my state's primary but I knew that both candidates eclipse McCain and I would vote for either one in the general election.

All these hard feelings and hatred being spouted off do no good. In fact, they only help McCain. And let me say this: those of you who do not vote in the general election because you are protesting, do NOT complain in the next four years following the election. If you don't vote, you have lost your right to complain and criticize.

I find it funny that so many Hillary supporters are willing to back McCain. He has basically said that he'll keep nominating conservative Supreme Court judges. I guess Roe v. Wade is worth aboloshing, huh? Go ahead, vote for McCain. Let's see how that works out for you…

It makes me feel good to know that on election day all you Barack Obama haters will be eating your words. All the garbage your closed minds repeat in the hope that you'll actually believe yourselves.
You say you won't forget and he's full of it and you're not going to vote for him. Good, it'll burn even more when he wins and turn's this country around.
Do us a favor stay home in November…better yet go vote for McCain then you'll truly see how all the delusion talk and mind numbing palaber you spit was a representation of the few when Senator Obama wins nicely in the general election.

Hi all Obama versus Hilary (or visa virsa) supporters. I am not an American, but am follow your election process. Boy, some of you guys miss the real importance of your situation. You are suppose to be a super nation, but your fighting about stupid things, make you look weak and indecisive. You have an excellent opportunity to burry the hatchet and stand together and bring about change. The world has their eyes on the democrat’s because we believe you can do something special after a lot of damage. Stop your in-house fighting, stand together and show the world ones again that you can speak with one voice when it matters.

While I admire Senator Obama's poise and charisma, I cannot help but wonder if this will be enough to unite a country which, in my opinion, has not been so divided since the civil rights era of the sixties.

I also think that he remarks to to crowd about Hilary's contributions to America carry a double meaning and may even be a front to quell her followers and garner more votes in the general election.

Having a polite, well educated President is a plus. Having an effective world leader is a must. Sorry Senator Obama, I must vote for for the best candidate we have in these trying times. McCain '08

WOW!

All these Hillary supporters are sure, angry, bitter old people.

I'd sure hate to be them, and thank god I'm not. It must be a
miserable lonely life they lead. And now their Queen has
been vanquished, they have absolutely nothing.

How sad and pathetic…

NWindependent, if McCain wins, you'll have no country in 2012. You'll be voting in a school made of rubble, destroyed by a dying nation's economy.

What did Hillary do when her supporters boo-ed Obama?
Nothing! She didn't say a word!

Building bridges instead of fighting a nonlegitimate war. End the retrograde view of the world of being only a cold war place.
Mc Cain = Retrograde view and lack of judgement and understanding towards the present world.

set up by Obama's people…have his people boooooo Clinton so he can defend her…hope that her supporters will come back over.

I wonder if they are stupid enough to fall for it.

Why are Clinton supporters filled with so much hatred for Obama? Get over it already. You guys are ridiculous. show some dignity and stop the hatred. He hasn't done anything any different than any other politician has done to win the nomination, the same goes for clinton. Although she's the one that's been caught lying most of the time throughout her campaign. But of course, clinton supporters will always have excuses for her.

BHO continues to say anything anyone wants to hear, including praising Clinton. I don't believe him at all.

The man will flame out and do even more damage to the Democratic party in the process. Obamaniacs will get what they asked for: good sounding words with no action/substance to back it up.

Obama has proven he says anything to get elected. He is a slick politician, has an answer for any question thrown at him. It is always easy to say CHANGE like a parrot. His defending HRC is for one reason and one reason only; to get her supporters vote. I am one Dem who will soon register as a Republican to protest the treatment HRC received and vote MC Cain this time.

i find the whole Obama thing boring without Hillary, besides, he now has no one to bounce off from, he was always copying her every move, i hope Hillary takes a long vacation …I honestly do believe he would tell Republicans what they wanted to hear if they were his audience he will tell anyone anything

Wow, now Barack Obama said that Hillary Clinton is "one of the finest public servant in the country." How come he did not say that on the primary campaign? Is that the kind of hypocrosy change he has been talking about? He tried to destroy us in the primary battle, but of course, now he needs our support. Unfortunately, my entire family and myself will not be supporting Obama in November. We have already change party affiliation, we haven been contributing to McCain, and we are doing whatever we can to get McCain elected in November.

Obama, why are you now campaining in Michigan? I thought you did not want the Michigan primary votes to count. You did not even want to have a re-vote in Michigan. And after the DNC's Rules and Bylaws Committee you end up with the uncommitteed delegates PLUS 4 Clinton delegates. That is disgraceful. Please stop talking about Hillary Clinton, you will fail in November….

ANDY ARE YOU STUPID OR JUST PRETEND TO BE? HE IS NOT SOCIALIST AND IF H E IS THEN ITS NO MORE THEN HRC. STOP BASHING HIM, HE WON FAIR . CLINTON DID BAD JOB CAMPAIGNING. WHAT SHE THOUGHT SHE ENTITLED FOR NOMINATIONS, YOU HAVE TO WORK FOR IT. WE NEED TO COME TOGETHER. THE REAL ENEMY IS MCCAIN. IF YOU WANT CLINTONS POLICIES COME TRUE THEN VOTE FOR OBAMA BECAUSE HIS POLICES ARE ALMOST IDENTICAL AND IF YOU VOTE FOR MCCAIN, THEN YOU JUST IGNORANT AND RACIST AND YOUR EGO IS BIGGER THEN CAUSE AND YOU BE GOING AGAINST WHAT WAS CLINTON WAS STANDING UP FOR ANYWAY.

Obama has been more than gracious in his treatment of Hillary. Far more than she deserves, given how demeaning and mean spirited she oftentimes was towards him. The die-hard Clinton followers should remember that she lost the nomination fair and square, she was not cheated. Stop using your support for Hillary to hide your obvious prejudices.

ALRIGHT OBAMA SUPPORTERS U HAVE TO THINK THESE PEOPLE ACTING LIKE THEY ARE CLINTON SUPPORTERS ARE ACTUALLY FAKE DEMOCRATS THEY ARE FROM THE NEOCON RIGHT POSIN AS HILLARY SUPPORTER. THE POLLS SHOW MOST HILLARY SUPPORTERS ALREADY SUPPORT OBAMA SO REPUBLICANS COME WITH A DIFFERENT TALKING POINT

As a McCain supporter I love the way you children are fighting. Keep it up. We love every minute of it. LOL

I think clinton supporters who'll vote McCain or stay home in november are doing the absolute wrong thing. Politics isn't about personality, it's about programs. Hillary and Obama have almost exactly the same opinion on all issues. They want the same future for america. McCain has an opposite opinion on all major issues. Ok, the primaries were long and sometimes heated. But they were pretty fair to me. It's hard do awknowledge that your candidate lost, but voting for a republican just to bug the other democrate candadite is foolish, childish and dangerous. What's worse? Obama in the white house making clintons program happen, or four more years of war, debts and what else?

Think about it, and do the right thing. It's not a personal matter, it's a moral one.

Keep it up, Obamaphiles, YOU are the reason I won't vote for Obama! Your nasty comments and total disrespect for Hillary Clinton, the BEST presidential candidate we have had in decades, is driving many of her supporters in directions other than Obama.

Obama cooked his goose with me yesterday when he hired Hillary's former "helper" as his new chief of staff for his not-yet-chosen VP.

Why doesn't the new VP candidate choose his/her OWN chief of stuff????? Why is Obama doing it?????

well well well….looks like Obama may need Hillary after all…She ran against the news media and Obama so what can I say…If Obama"s camp says WOO again i am gonna be sick……I would hate to think Obama is president and he hires cabinet members without experience…maybe he should go home to Michelle…..She is gonna be some first lady….but not by my vote…Always a democrat until now..

Forgive us if we are not as forgiving as you are Sen. Obama. However, Hillary and her campaign's behavior this primary season was unnecessary and quit cruel.

So give us time…maybe we can forgive…but right now its too early to forget.

I believe whatever is in you will eventually come out of you. I believe Hillary meant every thing she said and did on the campaign trail this season. I think she is fighting for her future right now. Hillary still believes it all about her and her ambitions. NEWS FLASH: ITS NOT!!

To those of you who are commenting on my impression of this ticker….I am not making this stuff up. My spelling is alittle off b/c I am in a hurry. ( just another example of immatuiry on here)

But Obama supporters are making this whole debate for presidency negative, even when Obama is trying to bring everyone together!!!

We all need to come together as one…let go of the past …..and look towards the future for a better America!!!!

I don't understand why that is being so hard for others to grasp.

To those who want Clinton on the ticket – if you were Obama, would you really want to be the only thing standing between a Clinton and the Presidency?!? That's like putting yourself between a mother lion and her cub or Rush Limbaugh and chicken fried steak. Well, you get the point that it would be a very uncomfortable place in which to find yourself…

I am glad he is finally admitting it to the public. If it wasnt for his big bucks Hillary would have been the nominee. At least he is giving her the credit and respect she deserves. So now Barack needs to quit playing games and pick Hillary as his VP.

I respect Obama for his words of praise for Clinton,however she gets none from me! I still resent the tactics she used to smear Obama and it was her spys like the one who got the bitter comment! Clinton has no ethics! Obama still needs to watch his back–Clinton's don't know how to loose! They are scarey people!

What a Joke!

After destroying the Party and the best candidate we have had run in a long time, someone who was really in touch with all the people.

This is all he has to say…..

I'll let you know how I feel about you this November!

As a Hillary R. Clinton supporter, I ENCOURAGE THE MANY HILLARY SUPPORTERS TO GETBEHIND MCCAIN. obama is like, totall LACKS THE EXPERIENCE AND KNOWLEDGE to lead the nation. I have already sent a response back to Hillary's web site indicating that I am now in full support of McCain. I just don't trust obama with his inexperience.

Obama is a great guy and honest. He will unite the democrats and will win in November. That's for sure!!

All these so-called Hillary people who claim they will vote for McCain make me laugh. You know I get irritated when the news media breaks down voters by demographics…BUT I must say it MUST be true that Hillary Clinton voters are not smart (uneducated).
I say this because if you are REALLY going to support McCAin who do you think that hurts? The Obama's are rich and they will continue to be. Barack will probably get paid more than any other politician to give a speech. But what about you, if McCain gets elected you will continue to be in a bad financial situation that will only get worse.
I am one of Obama's supporters. I am educated and make over 60K a year. The economy is bad BUT I am not suffering financially (thank God). I have a savings account and the property I own has increased in value. Regardless of who takes office, I am going to be fine, I am a professional. But for the life of me I can not understand why people who are in bad financial situations would want to continue down that road with McCain, simply because their candidate did not win.

Thanks Senator Obama for standing up for Senator Clinton yesterday in MICHIGAN.. I still have some serious problems with the DNC leaders and believe that they are useless. Pelosi, Reid, Dean, Kerry, Richardson, Dodd, and Brazile should be on the campaign trail for you 24/7. They "broke" it, I hope they can "fix" it…By the way, Congratulations on the Gore endorsement!! and also the Emmy for "Yes We Can"..Stay focused…

A Hillary Supporter

I was there. She was booed when he talked about her and frankly as much as I love Obama this is where I see the lying part of the politician come out. The Rebublicans are using all the hate and lies Hillary brought out and now using it against him. Those of us who HATE Hillary hate her because she is a power hungry liar. We want honestly in the White House and Obama really disapointed me by speaking out in favor of her. That makes me step back and realize he is a politicain. He was my savior.

Haven't you new female McCain supporters realized that he is just dying to repeal the Roe vs. Wade ruling? Do you females want to destroy your reproductive rights just because your favorite candidate lost the primary? Please know that McCain is a wolf in sheeps clothing. Beware!

Obama has ALWAYS praised Senator Clinton. ALWAYS. Despite the her lack of reciprocity.

Those of you who would hold him responsible for overzealous supporters at his rally and/or overzealous posts on this board are downright silly. Every group (including yours) has its zealots. The important thing is that Obama handles them with dignity and grace.

Those of you who are indignant, how would you propose he respond when folks boo Clinton at a rally? My guess is, exactly the way he did.

I am a 67 year old woman. My Mother talked to me about how women didn't have the right to vote when she was born and how it felt for her to cast her first vote. For women today to be so angry because Hillary lost the primary nomination is silly and destructive. A woman will become President someday if woman today do not become embittered and vengeful. Don't become what "they" expect you to become. To turn to McCain, who stands against what every Democratic woman is for, is to prove we're aren't ready for Primetime.
Sandy Powers

Not all Canada applauds BO….he is too young and inexperienced to lead the USA at this time. I understand the enthusiasm of so many young people but the world really needed the experience and abilities of HC.

I find it incredibile that so many Americans seem to have so much hate for the Clintons when their administration accomplished so much. It is particularly galling to see 90% plus of African Americans rejecting the Clintons and many even suggesting the Clintons are racists. This must be so hard for the Clintons to accept after so many years of service.

Part of this is/was fuelled by media types such as Jack Cafferty who spewed so much hate towards HC. Hopefully BO can surround himself with some outstanding people who will provide counsel and direction because speeches alone, will not cut it.

Regardless, HC supporters can not make yet another mistake and vote for MCCain….BO is reluctantly the only real choice now.

I can't wait to see this boy go down in November, and take the DNC with him. Every time one of the Obamabots boo HRC, another woman vows NOT TO VOTE FOR OBAMA.

His "supporters" have helped sink him all along – showing so much contempt and anger toward an experienced fine leader in Hillary during the primary campaign.

Now that the media and DNC have given the nomination to the Chosen One, they want our vote.

Sorry – too little, too late; we remember. Adios BHO.

It is seriously scary about how hateful, racist and completely misinformed some of the bloggers are who comment on these candidates. The point is that we should be focusing on the issues, not the color of one candidates skin or the age or sex of the other.

Die hard Hilary fans, stop your whining. She and her husband were much more destructive to Obama during the primary than the other way around. He ran a smarter campaign and, in the end, won because of it.

I'm voting for Obama because I believe he has the potential to inspire great things in people as well as this country. But, if you don't like Obama, for whatever reason, then either vote for McCain or don't vote at all. But stop with the slander and lies. Constantly saying that he's a muslim or a woman hater won't suddenly make him one. It just makes the bloggers writing these things look like a real idiot.

I keep reading how the Clinton supporters won't vote for Obama because his supporters are so hateful to her. How CHILDISH can you get??????????? Are we voting for supporters or the candidate? I don't know about you, but I'm voting for the candidate. And for the record–you are the pot calling the kettle balck. Have you actually read what Clinton supporters have written aabout Obama with an objective–not biased– mind. I think you will see that the name calling is about even. No wonder our kids don't know right from wrong anymore–look at their elders.

CNN–do you think for once you could let one of my numerous blogs go through and not wait moderation?

Stay focus on what really matters for the betterment of all.
looking at the differences between Hillary and Obama instead of looking at thier similiraties and the vision that they share is the act of fool. distraction and not healthy.
Proud of Obama and Clinton for being so great.

I'm a Obama supporter till then end, but if we want to win we MUST show Clinton Supporters our respect and reach out to them rather than trying to tear them down. Don't be sore winners!

First and most important, Obama is a fake, have you noticed that both of his largest endorsements have been in Michigan? Why do you think this is….most likely becuase he wanted nothing to do with Michigan before his nomination. I know they were not allowed to campaign in the state but he was never on the side of the Michigan people when it came to count our votes. Also don't be fooled by reports that say "his name wasn't even on the ballot" he TOOK HIS NAME OFF OF THE BALLOT HIMSELF!!! Big difference. McCain leads in this state and for good reason. I was a Clinton supporter and it is going to take something more than an endorsement from Al Gore to get me over to Obamas side. Furthermore if Obama thinks he can win the election without winning Ohio or Florida he is mistaken, I think he should ask his endorser how that worked out for him! Just another rookie mistake, one I fear is not the last. For now though i'm in the middle let the games begin

The candidate, Senator Obama, was, as always, gracious. Unfortunately, some of his supporters were not. Blame the candidate, or blame the supporters? I blame the supporters since he has been consistantly gracious throughout the primaries (and beyond!) in both victory and defeat.

Just realize that it has been the same with the Hillary supporters except for one difference . . . one VERY BIG difference; Senator Clinton has never been as gracious as Senator Obama. NOT ONCE did I hear did Senator Clinton congratulate Senator Obama on a single primary win or give him credit for a good campaign when she won. Obama disrespected CLinton? I think not, it was quite the other way around.

Nasty, vile hateful things have been said by supporters from both sides and that is reprehensible. Obama supporters that continue this, grow up. Clinton supporters who continue this, get over it and grow up. We have bigger problems than being petty, uneducated, miserable adults (get it? PUMA?) acting like children in a schoolyard.

BARB who was at the Obama rally

Thank for the great commentary. You made some really good points, sometimes i read these blogs and some of the comments are so far out their that truley have trouble sleeping at night knowing there are people out like that. You made my day:)

Sorry, but he only praises Clinton NOW that he has the nomination in order to get people to vote for him. But what a number of people don't understand is, we are free thinkers, we will vote for WHO we think will be able to get us out of this mess and it has to be someone who knows what they are doing. Not someone who only goes from one thing to another and accompolishes nothing. He's been nothing but a politician down to joining his church, he Mentor told him what church to join and how to go about getting elected. He's used tricks and lawyers to get where he is. Not because he has done any good. Just ask the people he is SUPPOSE to represent. I'm an independant and I want experience, not someone who has to get his ideas from someone else, if so, then elect someone else.

Though I am extremely disappointed at Hillary losing the battle, I may still vote for Obama or not vote at all. I can't even think voting for a republican who wants to continue this meaningless and costly war.

Our nation is destroyed due to this war. Hillary was the only one who had guts to end it in 2009.

Hillary folks who cannot stand Obama: Some of you accuse Obama of lies – What lies? What is in it for you to keep hating? Many of Hillary's supporters have begun to support Obama – the ones who want a better deal for America.

Obama did not steal the nomination. Americans voted for him. And you do not know whether Hillary would make a "better" president. She has not had any experience with being the president.

I'm really tired of hearing people talk about not being "turned on" and how they will stay at home this november. First of all, that means you're not excercising your duty as an American citizen (which so many fought for and are still fighting for ). Second, if you want another 4 years of the rich-poor gap to widen to a point where only a select few can truly live the American dream, another 4 years of a war that we were misled on to believing it was for our defense yet it was for a utopian view of creating a democracy in place where we were not welcomed, another 4 years of the American dollar getting its butt kicked against other currency because of failed economic policies, then stay home or go vote for McCain.

I appreciate the praise and respect Senator Obama has given to Hillary. She is worthy.

I was at this rally, and the cheers when Obama praised Clinton were much louder than the initial boos. Most Obama supporters are smart enough to realize that the "us vs. them" mentality that became so prevalent during the primary is unproductive and even disrespectful. Those who support Democratic values need to come together and Obama is working to make it happen

This mindless bickering is the very reason I left both Republican & Democratic parties.

Obama Supporters: You need to relax you Need Clinton's suppoters period.

Clinton supporters: You need to relax as well you keep spoutting 2012. Remember if Obama looses you'll need his supporters in 4 years.

Both sides better grow up as It could easily end up McCain 2008 through 2016. While I Don't agree with all his views I'm giving him a serious look.

Barack's comment that she is one of our finest public servants points out his ignorance of Hillary's absolute lack of any credible accomplishments in Congress. Hillary has nothing of note to point to in accomplishments for NYstate until recently…where she was noted to have THE largest amount of pork earmarks of any senator. Business as usual my friends, er sorry, Politics as usual.

I am extremely disappointed in the intelligence of the citizens of this country. First, they vote in a complete moron to office TWICE. Now, I am hearing that feelings of revenge will decide their vote for a third term for this moron's policies. Only when votes are cast based on actual policy platforms will the right decision finally be made. Not votes cast based on the likeability of the candidate, skin color of the candidate, religion of the candidate, and the multitude of other reasons that someone can come up with. The next four years are critical. Without dramatic policy change, this country will see dark times. Think before you vote.

Part of my resistence to Obama is his followers, the 'Obamobots'. They are not interested in dialogue, they are not enlightened. They shout others down, post horrific statements and images and believe that they are on the side of a just and worthy cause. Fascists were known for doing the same thing, control the media and elliminate any voice not singing the same song. For Obama to call them out is rare, he has never chastized his disciples no matter how rude and un-democratic their actions. Now that he has the nomination he can afford to be magnanimous, in fact it behooves him to do so as he needs Clinton supporters to win the election. The national media has not reported enough on Rezko/Auchi. Nor have they really explained to the American people what Nation of Islam stands for. Americans are in the dark, they see the beatifully crafted images of Obama bathed in celestial light, listen to speeches (written by speech writers) in that deep melodious voice, promising Change and freedom from corruption, and yet, he appointed Johnson, took money from Rezko/Auchi and partook in gender bashing. I don't dislike the message, I distrust the messanger.

Hillary who?

Troublemaking dittoheads and Republicans should start looking for a nice high bridge.Obama in a landslide.

To "Concerned INDEPENDENT CT voter" … thank-you for a little common sense!!

Once again, I will like to remind democrats that there are those republicans who will attend events and create this sort of situation inorder to stir up controversies. Beware! because republicans are going to do anything and everything to ensure that there is a dis-united democratic party. I know both Hillary and Barack means a lot to some people, but it is time to move forward.

Defending HRC? That take guts in MI. NAFTA killed so many jobs there. The Dems best unite, or McCain will take over. Do women really want a Roe V Wade overturn? There should be age limits to the presidency; minimums and maximums. Not sure why McCain wants to run for president, you would think he already served his country long enough. It's about time he relaxed a bit. Why take on the most stressful job on the planet? Doesn't the job age you so much more??? What the country needs is a leader who can handle the stress, deal with the important issues, both foreign and domestic, end the War in Iraq, and get USA out of the fiscal disaster the Bush Administration placed everyone in.

HM:

Another situation…you stated that, "BARACK OBAMA SAYS THIS NOW BUT HE HELPED TO TRY AND DESTROY US."

Could you please elaborate? How did Obama help to try and destroy us? Who is "US".

You know, we are all learning. I am sure if you can elaborate more with verifiable "facts", I am sure we will learn from you. If not, you could apologize to the readers for an attempt to misguide us or misrepresent the facts…Thank you.

Some of you bloggers are hateful to mankind. This is only politics. Some of you act like children when someone takes the candy from you. Obama is a good man will make a great President. He has his hand full and has a lot to do to straighten out this mess the Republicans put is in. It can't be done overnight and it won't be all done in 4 years. Bush tore up this Country in 8 years. I hope you don't expect any President to clean up after Bush in a few months and a few years. It doesn't matter what race or sex the President may be. It is a lot the American people have to do to help instead of criticizing Obama and Hillary. Democrats we are suppose to be pulling together not apart. If you want the gas prices to go down, housing market cleaned up, better health care, education for our children, end the war that Bush started; let's pray and put this Country back together and we can be happy and hope that our children and their children will have a better life.

If is interesting, those who don't like Obama will find any little detail and read into it what they want to see. They end up trying to project what it "really means," even when they haven't a clue. They aren't correct but in their own mind they think they are. This doesn't just happen with those people agaist Obama; it happens with any candidatem but more so against Obama.

What is going on here? How did Obama "destroy" either the Clintons or their reputation? And where did the idea that the ones booing mention of Hillary are the same people who still believe that O. J. Simpson was innocent? Do I smell racism here? For God's sake! I thought the country had evolved more since 1948.

Although I will vote for Obama in November, unless Clinton runs as an Independent, I have to say this.

It is easy to give very generous praise to Hillary, now that he knows that he is the Democratic nominee. I'm sure he would not have been that generous and gracious, if he had lost.

Why people are still beating up on Hillary is beyond me. In case you were not told before, she is no longer running folks. Let it go now. Isn't your precious Barack all about peace and unity. In that case, where is yours, angry Barack supporters? Practice what he supposedly stands for. Leave Hillary alone already and move on.

So when I vote in November, I won't be voting for anyone. I'll be voting against Obama. I cannot condone the election of a person who not only tolerates racism but actively supports it, funds it and then makes it a spiritual advisor. I believe in sending a message that all people (even white people) deserve to be judged not by the color of their skin, but by the content of their character and the fruits of their labors.

Typical…

Hillary supporters and anti Obamanots….When you cast your vote for McSame or not vote do you think that when Hillary stands up in the congress and asks president McCain and his buddies for support on an issue he will say Of course my Democrat friend????
Get real and stand by your party!

Hillary on the ticket or McKain. There is not other way folks. Actually Brian up front said she might be a good Secretary of State. Not a bad idea.

Obama will NEVER get our vote.

Nobama 2008

For all of you that believe Obama supporters are ruining the unity push and Clinton supporters are doing the same; here's an ideal for you.

Stop reading. Of course CNN, is going to continue to post ticklers that will get you guys steamed up. They want and need viewership online just as much as they need it on tv.

Look at it like this: who really cares about what happens (besides VP selections) between now and let's say late September, early October.
NO ONE.. So all CNN has is "news" that will stimulate you guys. And unfortunately, you guys are falling for it.

Anybody, anybody that will stay at home and not vote are not only doing spitting on the graves of everyone who died for this right and they are acting childlike, not responsible adults. Responsible
adults, vote.

People really need to think about what they are saying. I find it crazy how they say they will vote for MCcain because Hillary isnt the nominee. Do you really want somebody in office who is against pro-choice, equal pay for women? Also, those fools who say they will vote for MCcain so that Hillary can run in 2012 had best remeber that Obama supporters can play the same silly game you all are trying to play. WHhts to keep us from sabotaging Hillaries 2012 run so as to return the favor?

Please be clear, Obama NEVER disrespected either Clinton, though they each disrespected him. As Iowa floods, New Orleans still falling far short than what it once was, two failing wars, failed foreign policy, a fall in Global respect, and last but definitely not least, a collapsing economy, the fact that some Clinton supporters will either vote for McCain or not vote at all is RIDICULOUS! As Gore so eloquently pointed out, the same message of inexperience was also thrown at John F. Kennedy. IF this country fails to rise to the heights it once held, it will be YOUR fault and NOT those that support Obama.

Good job! Now can everyone just act respectfully? Just read some of these comments; all the negativity is not good for the Party!

Get over it and enjoy the energy.

Believe me, he will start running for re-election on January 21st, if he wins. He started running for the US Senate the day he was sworn in as a State Senator. The Presidency, the day after the oath for US Senator. Anyone who doesn't believe that is very naive. He has done nothing but run for election since he started! No resume at all. I will write Hillary on my ballot in November, be it wasted or not. We have had more Republican Presidents then we have had democrats and Roe v Wade is still there? I'm not worried about that ever being overturned. I am worried about a President who will tax and spend us to death. How does Obama plan to pay for the Great American give away? If we bring all the troops home, where are they going to work? The overseas bases provide jobs. With the all volunteer military, we have dedicated military. Just imagine 350 thousand more people looking for a job!

Dear MD,

Al Gore, as Vice President, was responsible for pushing the following-
-Promotion of high technology in government
-GLOBE Program
-Pointman on NAFTA
-Digital Earth

I guess those not nearly as large accomplishments as shooting someone in the face while bird hunting, though, right?

Senator Obama is a politician — make no mistake about it. Look who was running his campaign – old time Chicago politico David Axelrod — who supported him initially — old time democrats Kennedy and Kerry — don't be naive Washington, D.C. does not change overnight. Our forefathers did not want dramatic change.

As a Clinton supporter, I cannot support a candidate who was a 20 year member of a black liberation church, whose pastor preached hatred and racism, and who 10 point value system has a "non-negotiable commitment with Africa". Even Oprah heard the inflammatory rhetoric of the Rev. Wright and left the church! This church did not just preach the gospel — check out what black liberation is all about. Obama's judgement, honesty and core values are of great concern and he has never openly discussed why he stayed with a church that brought out anger and hatred. Perhaps that is where Michelle's "proud" statement came from????

Come on Hillary supporters. Let's hand the White House to McCain. Hillary can win in 2012!!!

Obama, H. Clinton, and McCain are to all appearances honorable people. It is both necessary and correct that Obama should praise Clinton and even McCain. They all have some political baggage as well. Remember Whitewater, HM? One need only to pay attention to the issues in the upcoming election. In my opinion McCain would be better than Bush, but it is critical to elect a democrat, as we need to make sure the courts don't become even more conservative, to avoid getting involved in any more stupid wars, and to change national priorities concerning the environment. Finally, it appears (based on B Clinton) that it is the democrats that are better equipped to get the economy back on track and to balance the budget.

It doesn't matter what she did to him during the election, she tried to distroy him not the other way around and the Hillary supporters need to stop pouting, if you think McCain would make a better president than Obama you sadly mistaken, this man can't even think straight for more that 3 minutes. Obama is a gentleman and will make a fine president, grow up Hillary supporters

You Clinton supporters need to get over yourselves. She is a phony and you guys need to get on the wagon with a real candidate!

OBAMA,

YOU DONT NEED TO DEFEND HILLARY…SHE IS ONE STRONG
WOMAN AND FUTURE PRESIDENT

WHAT YOU NEED TO DO OBAMA IS APOLOGIZE TO HILLARY

LIKE HOW YOU WOULD CUT INTO HER SPEECHES IN THE PRIMARIES….SO YOU COULD GIVE YOUR SPEECH..KNOWING YOU
WERE CUTTING INTO HER TIME….JUST ONE EXAMPLE

NO TO OBAMA ARROGANCE

NO TO OBAMA ARROGANCE

Mr. Obama once again proved that he is decent and doesn't have any ego's. No matter what he says, Hillary was / is desperate and tried every way possible for the nomination.
I have been Chanting in my posts for last few months.. OBAMA / AL GORE…. I hope it becomes true. There was also a news article about it. Mr. Gore should be on the ticket with Obama. They will be the " UNTOUCHABLES "
OBAMA / AL GORE (2008)

Obama did the right thing by condeming the insensitive reaction regarding Clinton. She did run a nasty campaign, but we should all get over it. She will not be on the ticket as VP because she would undermine Obama's presidency. For those hatemongers, get over it and get over yourselves. In fact, if those Clinton supporters votes for McCain and they get another Bush term, they would have only themselves to blame when this country starts another war which we cannot afford, unless we continue to ask China to underwrite our debts. Go Democrat.

LIZ – Here are the facts:

1 – The primary was about DELEGATES
2 – Obama put a strategy in place to win DELEGATES
3 – Mighigan and FL were penalized before the primary started and all candidates agreed to the rules
4 – Obama won the most DELEGATES

If this were a primary based on popular vote, Obama would have spent much more time in the larger states – But the primary was about DELEGATES.

Hillary said often that the superdelegates should vote their conscience. Hillary and Obama were virtually tied in superdelegates until the end of the primary. Can you even consider that maybe, just maybe, the superdelegates know the real Clintons much better than the voters do. Obama won this race fair and square by getting the most DELEGATES. No one "selected" him. We ELECTED him.

He's right Senator Clinton is a honorable person to who has done a lot for the children and universal healthcare. She has sound the alarm early and often. However, she has also voted to authorize the war in IRAQ where we lost over 4000+ severvice members and that I can not forget.. Whe need to preserve life and take care of the servicemen and women.

I can not respect the any one who authorized a senseless war that cause the Death!!!!!! of so many.. She said her vote was not to authorize War!!!!!

Rhonda,

Please allow me to quote our letter to Dr. Dean that we sent from over 26 states yesterday:

"During the nomination process, Senator Obama and his campaign did not support counting all the votes in Michigan and Florida, did not accept a compromise plan that would have allowed new primaries in those states, and completely ignored the voters in states like Kentucky and West Virginia.

At the same time, the DNC and other powerful committees of the party did not investigate evidence of fraud or alleged disenfranchisement of entire groups in states that used caucuses to choose their delegates, did not apportion Michigan’s delegates appropriately as called for by the party’s rules (indeed, the RBC took four delegates from one candidate and gave them to another), and did not protest the many instances of media bias against and belittling of Senator Hillary Clinton until after the part of the nomination process involving primaries and caucuses had been completed and after many automatic delegates endorsed Senator Obama based on the results of those primaries and caucuses."

Thank you for reading this quote. The rest of it is up on our website.

Puma PAC

I know now that there are a lot of Koolaid drinkers out there. Seriously. I have never seem so much hate spew out of the mouths of voters as supporters for Obama. So much yelling! Wow! That is the travesty. I do not vote for a party, I vote for the candidate.

Hillary and her 18 million is so not true. 18 million independent voters not Hillary slaves.

Haiti applauds Obama.

Denise P Quinton:

I think before we make any public statement that we should make sure we have facts to back up our statements. Do you have any facts to backup that Obama as you put it is a "muslim"? And further more, a "black power nation supporter".

My question to you is this? Do "muslims" worship in "churches"? Please think hard about this question before you respond.

To hear black ministers rant that my color is the reason I'm where I am today and that I am keeping "them" down is insulting.

Barack Obama has to say nice things about Hillary Clinton. He needs the votes of her supporters.

Well, I don't. I don't like Hillary Clinton, I don't trust her and I don't believe her. ..and if she ever runs for the Presidency again, I won't vote for her. Part of Barack Obama's support…especially his early support…was a popular revolt by voters who were disgusted by he idea of another Clinton in the White House. It's past time for the Clintons to just go away.

To Hillary Supporter: If you don't want to vote for Obama, that's fine… You just need to choose between Obama and Mccain…. Think about War, Gas price, Taxe… then decide…. After November don't blame anyone else but yourself for your decision today…

I keep reading how the Clinton supporters won't vote for Obama because his supporters are so hateful to her. How CHILDISH can you get ????????????? Are we voting for supporters or the candidate. I don't know about you , but I will go with the candidate. And for the record–you are the pot calling the kettle black. Have you actually read what the Clinton supporters have written about Obama with An objective–not biased– mind. I think you will see that the name calling is about even. No wonder kids don't know right from wrong anymore–look at their elders.

obama seems to be a honorable man when he speaks. america is not ready for change and we all know that. Obama has not lie about his competiors or tried to discredit facts speaks, hilary would be a find VP so face it,

Those of you stating that Hillary Clinton has never supported Obama and has ruined the party obviously haven't listened to any of her speeches in full, as she has said several times both in speeches as well as in emails to her supporters that we should focus on the party and support Obama if he should win. Check your facts before you make an ignorant comment.

And to those of you who say you support Hillary and the Democratic party but continuously make racist comments against Obama, say that you're going to vote against him just out of spite, etc. Grow up. This is not a game of Candyland where if you lose you throw a fit by kicking the gameboard.

Vote for who you believe will do right by the country. If you truly believe that is McCain, then by all means, vote for him, but if you vote for someone out of spite, out of anger, or just plain ignorance (regarldess of who you are voting for), then you are to blame for the problems that lie ahead. Do us all a favor and stay home on Election Day. Let people who actually care do the voting.

Helen Cher -

If you are proud of America's sexist, racist, murderous, stealing white male dominant past – then you are clearly one of those uneducated HRC supporters.

Reading is good. I wish we could make people vote based on their IQ scores. Helen, sorry, you wouldn't make it!

Ever hear of cutting off your nose to spite your face?

Instead of talking about winning 270 without Florida Obama ought to talk inclusive of Hillary when ever possible and bring her into the campaign early on. We ought to be fighting a true UNITY ticket this year.

Hillary – Barack 2008

The GOP is their for the selected few, the democrats are their for all of us.

I think Obama is the right person to lead a nation with a high percentage of people that suffer from pessimism and tunnel vision.

If Obama reach to the presidency of the USA, his tasks will be heavier than they are because of die hard pessimists.

The kind of hate and pessimism that I find from a lot of bloggers will confirm to outsiders that Americans are stupid dumb a..holes, while I know that's not true.

Quit bickering and unite for change already. We all need to stand together if we hope to repair even half of the damage the current administration has done to this country.

Those with small minds and petty, unfounded arguments should be ashamed. Your short memories amaze me. Get the facts straight before you criticize Senator Obama or any of the other people who are fighting to make this country as great as it used to be.

I am so baffled as to why some Hillary supporters act like Obama did something personal to her and in their immature anger are screaming "we will not forget" and "Go McCain."

I mean, do you really hear yourselves?? Obama did not steal the election, he did not launch hate attacks against Hillary and he never mocked her being a woman. While you can be mad that your candidate did not win, why would you go and vote for the same party that has the country in the current state that its in???

And in your wisdom, your solution is "Hillary 2012!" Did you forget that means your current aim is 4 MORE YEARS of the Republican party??? Not only are you further damaging the Democratic party with your immaturity, if you get your wishes, Hillary would inherit an even more messed-up economy IF she took office in 2012!

I mean – THINK! Stop being immature and vindictive and try and think of the country as a whole and changes that need to be made – and not about getting Hillary into office in 2012.

Ask yourself – you would rather elect another Republican than a Democrat into the White House?? All because your candidate did not win the nomination?? News flash – no one has experience being president UNTIL they ARE president.

Ladies and gentlemen, this is politics. It's not sports. It matters.

Your mundane "I don't like you 'cause you support the other guy" must stop. This is greater than you, and it's greater than me. This is about us and about our children.

No one fought the battle harder than the two candidates themselves. They let it go, and now you should too. HC is a fine, skilled politician. She and her campaigned pulled some hard punches. So did BO's. Now it's time to LET GO and unify our party, and unify our country against the corporate candidate.

And please check your grammar and spelling. If I take the time to read your entry, at least you should have the courtesy to take the time and write properly.

Mariann Pepitone, THAT IS SO FUNNY! YESTERDAY YOU WROTE: I don't know why History, I mean, Hillary is not running as an independent. Don’t you get it? History, I mean, Hillary does not have the money to run to the corner store to buy staples, glue and poster board. How is she going to run for an independent bid? The fat lady has sung. The song was “I will now support Obama”. I think it is nice that she is encouraging her staff to work for him. It shows her staff is making good on her word to work for his election.

As a staunch Democrat and former Senator Clinton supporter that is now supporting the Democratic nominee, Barack Obama, I am appalled that Obama supporters would boo Senator Clinton. This does nothing to bring about unity and only gives McCain more of an opportunity to pick up votes from disillusioned Clinton supporters.

Obama supporters at the Michigan rally should be appalled with their behavior.

Please, please folks vote the Democratic ticket and get us out of this mess we are in. I have never seen anything like it. Thank you.

If she's the best this country has to offer, we are in big trouble. No wonder nothing gets done!

He's being nice. My personal opinion is that he's a horrible, ego driven, vindictive, do anything to grab power politician who I'm glad will never be president.

Al Gore lost the election.

Barack Hussein Obama will never be elected President of the USA – this about it.

Us, Dems, were stupid in not elevating Clinton.

I didn't get a free ride to college-no trust fund, no needs-based grants, no race-based scholarships-and had to work full time and go to school at night to get my degree. I worked my tail off and sacrificed so I could get ahead. I delayed getting married to establish my career and delayed having children until I was old enough and stable enough to provide for them.

I will never vote for BHO. He's inexperienced with no substance. I will vote JSM so HRC can take the helm in 2012!

Thank you, Mr.Obama for your graciousness. I agree with you totally. Mrs. Clinton is a tough fighter who will stand by what she beliees in. I would like to ask all of us here to be both gracious and tough fighters. Our candidate and our party has a tremendous task in front of us. We all need to support our candidate and try to convert Republicans who can see the light of reason. We can MAKE history, not just watch it unfold. Be active, be patient and reasonable in our statements, and be supportive. We all need each other and Mr. Obama needs us all.

I am a northern neighbour and never have I been so enthusiastic and hopeful of the opportunity for America to alter the course of its destiny. I grew up with the magic of the Kennedy era and cried when Camelot was broken. Now, through Senator Obama and the force of his vision and integrity, I see America about to be once again transformed to the home of the brave and the land of the free. As a Canadian with two children living and working as professionals in the state of Texas and Illonois, we very much have a vested interest in America's future as do all Canadians. The endorsement last night from Al Gore is a crowning achievement for Senator Obama and indiciates a moment in American history where the dream never dies and is only months away from reality. God bless America and this once in a century opportunity to change it's destiny.

Obama, HRC and Gore are certainly showing teamwork and leadership skills. Too bad some of their spoil sport supporters can't do the same.

People, it is Obama, HRC, Gore and others who will lead us in elected and appointed positions. It is not these vocal critics we should be following.

Let's get on the same page for the good of the country. What HRC and Obama decide between themselves is important. What a few of you want to decide for them is irrelevant.

Jennifer the poem from Rudyard Kipling "IF" is awesome and says it all!

All Democrats lets unite and defeat McSame!

Yes, we Can!

Obama 2008-2016!

United we win–divided we fall!!!! Old saying but true!!! Let the women of Hillary take a look at what McBush does not want for women and they too will unite with Obama!!!

Obama supporters bashed Hillary all through the entire camaign. I guess that was ok. I will not vote for Obama no matter who endorses him. Hillary supporters do not like or want Obama and hopefully he will not get in. Hillary does not need Obama's phoney praise of her. By the way, Hillary supporters that will vote for McCain are REAL, has nothing to do with the Republicans, so stop trying to spread your lies. BOOOOO to Obama, how do you like that. HIllary puts rings around Obama and we all know why he is the nominee and not her. If he gets in he will be the worst President ever. No Obama!!

I feel sorry for you HM. Please grow a brain.

Tim Stevens said it – "Hearing Clinton supporters bashing Obama is a travesty."

I really think that if this nation allows McCain into office for the next 4 years, I will seriously hate this effin country.

I am sick and tired of reading what these hard-core HRC supporters have to say. You are all so bitter and naive; the fact that many of you will not support the democratic party in November makes you all look childish and immature; like a little toddler that is stomping his feet and throwing a fit because they did not get their way.

The fact is, the war and the economy are the biggest issues our nation faces right now, and if McCain becomes president, none of that will change. And in 4-8 years from now, when nothing has changed, I at least hope you all will have the courage enough to admit to yourselves that it was your fault that another republican is president because you were so immature.

It's time for people to vote for ISSUES they believe in and not for someone who didn't make it.

Everyone criticizes Obama's experience; but it is no secret that Obama is smart enough and self aware enough that he will surround him self with plenty of experienced and brilliant minds, and more importantly, he will actually listen to them.

Obama is a courageous and honest leader, and I believe McCain is too, but their policies are apples and oranges; so the question is, do you want an apple or do you want an orange?

Democrat in Office ’08!

To all of you people who continue to hate Hillary or say the only reason she is a Senator or ran for POTUS is becuase of Bill, get a CLUE and WAKE up!! Hillary was voted by the people of NY on her platform and then re-elected. To me this is becasue of the job SHE has done in the Senate. If she was doing a bad job she would not have won re-election. Also, believe or not Hillary being a woman and running for President was more difficult for her as a female. Why don't you ALL just admit it, especially some of the sexist men that have posted on this boord. If it was Hillary or some other female you would still be as nasty. To the rest of you, why don't you keep your little fingers off the keyboard with all the negatives about Hillary until you investigate her accomplishements long before she married Bill. She has fought hard for the people of this country before and after she was a Clinton. How many of you can say that as you sit back and NEVER try to better yourself, your country or others. YES, she does deserve RESPECT and maybe if you all had a mind of your own, rather then relying on the media and media hosts who hate her for whatever reason you can be your own judge!

By the way, its not that 18 million people who previously supported Hillary won't vote. We will vote! Of course we will. We will either vote for John McCain or we will just vote for Hillary Clinton as a write in candidate—the latter of which sounds like a great idea to me.

Booing Hillary is completely disrespectful. This is just a testiment to the fact that Obama's appeal is largely emotional. His supporters simply over look Hillary's lifetime or sacrifice and accomplishments for this country. They boo her, while thier candidate hasn't done anything for this country, only tells us whats wrong with it. I will vote for Obama because his policies are just about carbon copies of Hillary's, except for heath care. Real universal heathcare is change I believe in, but I guess thats not what Obama was talking about. If there was ever "politics as usual" its being afraid to have a universal heathcare plan. Wake up Barack, the right is going to call you a socialist, pinko, commi, marxist anyway. This country needs everyone covered so we can control costs and avoid a disaster in the industry. Adopt Hillary's plan either now, or after you get elected (if you think that's safer). We need it, and you know we do too. Just like you know we need all of Hillary's other policies.

What a gracious man. I think Hillary and Bill played hard ball in the primaries. Would you expect anything less from the Clintons. Obama is the nominee, let's make sure that he get nominated. Keep your eyes on the prize, change in Washington, which is now a cesspool, and defeating McCain in November.
If Obama is not elected, none of Hillary's ideas have chance of being implemented. Can Clinton supporters live with that on their conscience?
As an Obama supporter ,if Clinton had won I would be behind her 100%. I realize we cannot afford to have another dangerous republican lunatic running the country into the ground for 4 more years!!!

Okay, I'll do this one paragraph at a time…

The democratic primary has been a real eye-opener for me. I have never before witnessed what goes on in predominantly black churches. I had no idea that Black Liberation Theology existed and I certainly had no idea that white people were being ranted against as if there were still Jim Crow laws and "whites only" drinking fountains.

I can't believe these Clinton supporters. Obama is the bad guy now? After all the crap Hillary tried to pull! She is the reason people are so angry…dragging on a race that was over months ago, trying to get people angry at the DNC, bringing up sexism, not showing respect to Obama when he won, waiting four days to even acknowledge his winning, and then going into hiding. I am amazed that Obama can still say nice things about her, I couldn't.

Clinton Democrats unit for Mc Cain '08!

The idea of McCain 08 for HRC 2012 is absurd. If the HRC supporters are willing to sacrifice the good of the Democratic Party so that HRC could have another shot to run in 2012, do they really think the Democratic Party will be in any shape at all to organize and rally behind a candidate in 2012? NO!! If HRC supporters sell out the Democratic Party in 2008 it would put us well behind the GOP for the next twenty years. It would split the party and cause irreparable damage. HRC supporters, your best bet is Obama winning and the Dem party controlling things. If HRC supporters hijack the party then HRC's political career is over AND the Dems will not recover. You guys ran a contested campaign and lost – that's all there is to it. It was a great campaign from both candidates.

What's with this? I see comments that are a mile long and my longer comments are not accepted?

Is it because my comments are anti-Obama? Come on, CNN. This is outrageous!

Just another example of how Obama cannot control his own supporters….

As a Hillary supporter, now and always, i dont like Obama..never have BUT: i will vote for him gladly this November because under McCain reign, my daughters will not know what it means to recieve equal pay for the same work as a man!. I dont believe in abortion one bit, but i believe that if the time ever came my daughters should have the CHOICE to decide what THEY want to do with their bodies..For all the hooplah i have looked at BOTH men's voting records(the gov. makes this alvailable to us via website) and McCain DID vote about 95% with Bush last year and his women's issue votes are ridiculous! With Hillary.. i knew my daughters would become blossomed women.. Under McCain they will go back to stone age! Mr. Obama's voting record is far better and his stances on issues for me and my girls outweigh McCain heavily.. I will vote for him and i hope other will consider their children when casting their ballots instead of casting hate. Thank you

Cnn please post this,,

brian
i like the line up
hillary?no way
congress woman from arkansas.good enuff for her

What an egotist!!!! She has done so much more than he has, including showing up to vote on issues put before her as a senator. I'm writing in HIllary on my ballot. He's a crook totally involved with Rezko and getting million-dollar properties for less than $250K. His wife was involved too.

Boo Senator Clinton all you want, but how soon we forget! Had it not been for her, there would not have been a vote to reconsider the voters of Michigan nor Florida.

Also, what's so important about getting Al Gore's endorsement of Obama. Waiting out the primaries before acting, what did we expect him to do — support McCain? What his endorsement does do, however, is to once more realize how empty Obama's embracing of "CHANGE" really is. I've always supported Al Gore, and especially so in 2000 when he was robbed by our illustrious Supreme Court. But even that support is diluted with this latest love fest between him and Obama.

All will not see what is truly good. To you that are blind, I pray for you. It's very likely you are not a person who have a mind to know and want what's best for your future or your kids. All that matter is you hate him for no legit reason. Hillary dealt with sexism, Barack dealt with racism. DO you truly believe that one is great than the other? So what does that make you?

Let's start with change. Change your attitude, or you will be a bitter person with problems.

Kennedy's inexperience botched the Bay of Pigs. Kennedy laid the groundwork for 57,000 deaths in Vietnam. Some inspiration.

Obama is at the heart of special interest groups… liberal special interest groups… he's pro abortion, anti gun, anti free market, and his voting record and donations all support these areas.

It is NOT America's job to lead anymore. We have had 4 unwanted wars because we were the world leader… well times are changing and the playing field is more level now than ever before in modern history….

It is not our job to lead anymore.

Hillary is the only possible, plausible, sensible, intelligent choice for vice president. If Obama chooses a man for that office we're back to a men-only government. When is America going to give women equal rights? HILLARY FOR VP!

The numbers are now clearly showing that it is a myth that many Clinton supporters are going to vote for McCain.
========================================
awg: Don't count on it. If McCain wins and the Democrats vote to insure they have a hefty majority in both the House and Senate, the Democrats will be running our country.

Too little, too late.

Obama should have stood up months ago to the vitriolic comments his supporters, surrogates, and media constantly spewed througout the primary.

I am totally unimpressed that now that he has been crowned as the presumptive nominee, he finds it within himself to preach this sort of empty rhetoric.

Nice try, but Nobama for this Puma.

McCain '08

Democrats Unite. Support an Obama Clinton ticket. They are our last hope for a better America. Our economy has gone to shambles and it will only get worse if McCain is elected! Old, young, black, white get to the polls and vote for Obama.

Republicans have left this country in shambles and now we must put our trust to Obama to mend our economy. McCain has stated himself that he does not know much about the economy. All he has is war experience!

Obama Clinton 08

Obama is far to generous to that woman and her supporters.

CNN – edit the Obamanation using your own standard:

"You may not post any unlawful, threatening, libelous, defamatory…"

"…remain respectful of other authors and commenters."

Obama a lion among wimps.McSame and his neocons love the saying "just put that 10 trillion on my credit card",we will let the kids and grandkids pay the bill.You call that fiscally responsible?

Obama you got it right for a change. Clinton has been one person that has for many years been on the side of the people, not big business or big government. It is my hope and pray that she will be your running mate. Obama / Clinton will get my vote and the only way I will vote in November.

HM – Stay off this blog you are not one of us we no you are a republican. Secondly, Obama did nothing to Hillary she discredited herself; he never attacked her.

Secondly, Hillary supporters when will you guys grow up? Why I ask are people blaming Obama for Hillary's bad campaign she ran? He ran his and she ran hers; he had nothing to do with what was going on in her camp. Obama didn't attack Hillary any time in this race. It’s sad that our country is still so divided among race and gender. Bottom line inexperienced or experienced our country just doesn’t want to accept this man. Their policies are too similar for you all to be acting so out of control about. Do you people really want change for this country or is it about your candidate and her lost? I mean really this is just absolutely pathetic how we are destroying a chance at winning over the white house because we are going nuts over someone losing. Get a grip and realize the American people are suffering financially; while grown adults are acting like spoiled children over a losing candidate.

I'm voting for the one who is interested in everyone's welfare and especially our soldiers and their families.

Stop being selfish and stroking your ego; please realize people are dying at the hands of foolish people who are making foolish decisions. I hope Hillary supporters want become fools like many that are running the white house right now.

Why do poeple keep accusing Barack Obama for disenfranchising them or tearing down the Clintons?

MI and FL POLITICAL LEADERS DISENFRANCHISED YOU, Not the DNC, NOT Barack Obama or the party! Your leaders did it to ya themselves. Dont re-elect them!

It is time to heal the wounds…

Hillary supporters you are important and your thoughts are aswell. We understand that it will take time but… yes you can.

VOTE FOR YOUR POCKET BOOK.

VOTE BARACK.

AMEN! I agree with Tim Stevens, I am disheartened by "so-called-Hillary-supporters" who bash and disdain Sen. Obama! I suspect that they are NOT Democrats, just "the ditto-heads" that voted for Hillary to create chaos in the primaries. TRUE, Clinton supporters know what's at stake in this election and will respect her by supporting the Democratic candidate. Sure, some will go to McCain or even not vote but MOST will vote Obama.

I was DELIGHTED by Al Gore's speech last night, and a bit sad, knowing the kind of president he would have been! The U.S. missed out on having a great man lead our nation……. let's hope & pray we don't repeat the 2000 disaster!

WHAT WAS HE SUPPOSED TO SAY???? DURING HER CONCESSION SPEECH PEOEPL BOOED WHEN OBAMA WAS BROUGHT UP – - SHE SAID NOTHING !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! NOW ITS THE OTHER WAY AROUND AND OBAMA REFUSES TO TOLERATE THOSE WHO ARE IGNORANT AND SUPPORTING HIM!!!!

SO YES DO US ALLL LOGICAL, SANE AND NON-BITTER PEOPLE A FAVOR AND STAY HOME ON ELECTION DAY OR VOTE FOR THE NEXT 4 YEARS OF BUSH AMEAN MCAIN. IF YOU ARE TRUE DEMOCRAT RESPECT THE PROCESS AND VOTE ACCORDINLY.

As a democrat my vote will go for McCain. I refuse to vote for Obama… McCain you got another vote.

Thank you, Obama. Now if the haters on this forum would truly hear your message.

John from LA –

He is a role model, but so am I. I don't follow behind anyone and I can say and do as I please. I have the money and intelligence to backup how I feel. It does not matter to me who becomes president because I'll do well regardless. I just continue to laugh at you dumb HRC supporters who spew hate which is reflective of how your leader leads. Watching her campaign was the best comedy show that I've ever watched, and the excuses are like a (hopefully you know the rest), everybody has one. That's not a leader making excuses. She couldn't even convince 5 of her supporters on the DNC board to give in to her stupid, divisive and cheating request. There were 13 supporters on the board and she lost the vote 19-8. Her campaign team members were on the board that voted to penalize Florida & Michigan last year and she has you dummies thinking that its Obama's fault. She has a whole bunch of supporters thinking their votes did not count. How stupid are you people?

Then you dumb people claim that you are not voting because of what some bloggers say. How stupid is that? You vote based on your own interest. You claim Obama has no experience on issues but what does that matter if you are not voting on the issues. McCain doesn't even support anything Hillary believes in. You have a rockstar mentality about someone you NEVER even met, or had dinner with. Can you call her and talk to her on the phone? Do you have her direct number? No. You people are stupid.

She has you dummies thinking the media, Obama, sexism, rules, the DNC, and everybody else was against her, and you buy that just like you fell for her winning the popular vote. 18 million strong supporters, but she is 20 million in debt. Help her out if you support her so much. I guess you don't support her that much after all. Obama won the popular vote so that means he has 18 million plus…stronger supporters because he won, and still has enough resources for the next phase.

You dummies and your master let Bush outsmart you throughtout his tenure.

I wouldn't vote for Obama/Clinton. Hillary wouldn't lower herself to get on a ticket with Obama!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Go Hillary…lets raise some hell at the convention. Get ready Howard Dean!!!

It is obvious by Obama's remarks that he needs the Clinton supporters to pave his way to the White House. I am one, of many, Clinton supporters who do not endorse and will not vote for Obama in November. He didn't have the experience or knowledge to be President a few weeks ago so why would he suddenly acquire what it takes to lead our country. I was and still am a strong Hillary supporter because I knew she was the best candidate to be President.
If I can't vote for Hillary, then I will vote for the next best qualified, and that is McCain. Obama isn't even on the radar. He hasn't even proved himself in the Senate so why would anyone vote for him to be President. Nice speech Obama, but I am not buying the phoniness you are selling.

To the Hillary supporters who say that "he tried to destroy us"… There was much more divisive behavior on Hillary's side. I personally believe that is why she lost. She took on the Rovian tactics and in the end it hurt her.

Obama fought back but never ever did he throw any of the old Clinton Scandals in her face! Remember that!

Some of these fanatical Clinton supporters are so idiotic when they allow their feelings and bitterness to get a hold of their better judgement!. Seriously. If you look at policies, Clinton and Obama are very close! Why vote for McCain? This is coming from a former Clinton employee so please, this election, use your judgement and do what's best for the country. Not for you. Not for your pride. Not for anyone else's ambitions. But for the United States. Look at their policies and see what suits you but please, don't be idiotic and throw your vote away by using your bitter whims instead of thinking rationally. Because in the end, your vote MATTERS!

LIZ ……………… About time!! And b/c of Obama supporters being so negative….They are pushing Clinton supprters the other way. Negative obama supperters are ruining the democratic debate for presidency!!!!!! LIZ…………. Please speak for yourself amd stopping try to take everyone down that one way street (ENOUGH ALREADY)

What I don't get from all the Hillary supporters saying they would never support Obama is what they truly believe in? It must not be what Hillary believes in. There was/is not a lot difference in their policies. So if you truly supported Hillary why would you not want universal health care? Why would you not want out of Iraq? I think you people all need to sit back and think about why you really supported Hillary and what is in the country's best interest. The same old thing with McCain or a shot at some new ideas and something so important like universal health care with Obama.

Okay, here's what gets me upset at these Clinton supporters who are still bashing Obama and are going to support McCain. You have no idea what's going on in this country.

Record decificits and spending
2 wars
A depleted health care and education system with no accountability
A social agenda designed to keep homosexuals from marrying and stem cell research from finding cures to many diseases

That's just a few of the things wrong. Most of you seem to vote for McCain out of hatred of Obama, but if you vote to make this country a better place (which is what it should be), then why vote for someone like McCain who won't fix many of these problems? Sure, Obama will spend, but he will re-establish the U.S. as a foreign DIPLOMAT. He'll also create accountability in many of our social programs.

It bothers me when Hillary supporters will vote for McCain out of spite. Grow up. Why were you going to support Hillary? You liked what she would do to the country. Well… Obama is much more similar in his views on what to change than McCain is.

Again… grow up. It's sad.

Now go ahead and finish what you started B.O., what you did defending her like that was great , She has earned a spot as v.p. Both of you are similar on views and its going to take TWO stong people to clean up this mess. She will HELP us ,including BO to win this election. With out her its up for grabs.

Denise P Quinton, you are disgusting.

I am a fan of hillary and I am deciding whether I would stay home in november or vote for obama. I do appreciate that obama defended her in front of his crowd. I think he is showing leadership qualities with this and his wayward father speech.

I love it when Obama-supporters boo Hillary. It's like watching someone cut off their nose to spite their face. It's stupid but it sure is fun to watch…keep it up everybody!

I'm alway seeing comments on this board of how Obama treated Hillary. I saw during the primaries that he treated her with respect. Hillary on the other had, well. Had he throw the tool box at her, then people would have been talking. do you see how he is treating a women, well.

If Hillary would have gotten the nominee. All the Obama supporters would be saying the same thing you Hillary supporters are saying. In any contest there is always going to be a loser. So suck it up and move on. Have you people won everything in your life? NO! Life is not always fair, but it is time to move past all this anger. Have you ever quit your job because someone received a promotion over you. NO!. You just moved on. Hillary is moving on and it's really time for her supporters to move on. Hillary has been vacationing for the past two weeks and all that has been posted on these boards is betterness one after another. After 911 the whole country was able to come together. Hillary lost is no way equal to 911, but as Dems. We still can't seem to get it together. You probably don't even defend/protect your kids the way you voice your opinions for Hillary. Vote for whom you wish but stop trying to induce others into your idiocy. May GOD have mercy on us all!

Cnn post my comments, I'm tried of staying in moderations all the time.

LOL @ the comment referring Obama to Hitler. That's nothing short of hatred, and I can't believe CNN let that one slip!!! REALLY!

Cough .. bologna … cough. Everything you hear Osama say about Clinton from here on is a complete setup. Every word has been planned out days ahead of time. He will only defend Clinton if the cameras are going. He needs her voters. If you find yourself believing the garbage you really need to consider you are being naive.

What did his minister/spiritual advisor say – something like "He'll say what he has to say as a politician." I'll take his sincerity with a grain of salt.

Bet I won't see this posted….

Hillary is a hell of a lot more worthy of our respect and worthy of our honor than you are BO!!!!

Does something smell????

I AM THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY'S WORST NIGHTMARE COME TRUE…

I have the power as a woman to make my vote count.

If Hillary Clinton is not choosen as VP….

I will vote for McCain!

Sha, NYC

Becky,
How can you say that Obama treated Clinton like crap when everything that the republicans are using to attack Obama with came from Clinton herself. He was in a contest with HRC. People voted and he won. Why get mad at the person who wins. Are you really mad at us for voting for him? I'm not upset or saying terrible things for the way you voted. Everyone voted… Give it a rest!!

Democrat 08

Obama has just alienated 18 million of us Democratic voters by giving Patti Solis Doyle a position as Chief of Staff for his upcoming VP selection. The fact that he tried to slide her under the radar in a mix of other appointments and selections just speaks to his very calculated way of doing everything. There is no way on God's green earth I would vote for him now. No way! None! Nada!

I am shocked at some of the responses on here. Obama acted like a true gentleman. For anyone out there voting for Mccain simply because the "queen" Hillary did not receive her crown, then any deaths in Iraq on your hands now. Personally, I could care less about Hillary supporters switching over because there's just as many, if not more, independents and Republicans switching over for Obama. Hillary is one of the most divisive figures in politics today, there's a reason she's not the nominee.

Obama is right to defend Hillary. I don't know why people hate her so much.
She has indeed been a great public servant.
I wish she would be VP.
I wish her supporters were not so petty bitter angry contrary racist and hateful.
I wish I could see her stump of Obama and I mean soon

HM – you need to look back at all that happened in the primaries. I don't recall any "hate", but "lies" came from every direction, even more so in the HC campaign.
It's such a shame, and so sad, how embittered some of my fellow Americans have become.

I'm still waiting to hear from Hillary.

Why are all the democrats so afraid to speak the truth about HRC? She has proven herself to be wrong and divisive on almost every issue. Iraq, Health care, morals, ethics, etc.

She is not nor ever will be one of the finest politicians, now, before or ever.

Senator Obama, we trust you to be different from the same-old-same-old in Washington. This includes speaking the truth, and not caving into pressure or pure politics.

Your honor is on the line. If you align yourself with HRC, you have sacraficed your message. This is what has taken you this far. If you abandon that path, you will loose the election. Your offer of hope is what overshadows your lack of experience. Take that away, and you're just another inexperieced candidate, and McCain will appear the better choice.

I rarely get my messages posted for some reason, but I keep hoping that the comizars at CNN will eventually let one squeak thru

Peace!

I really think Hillary and Obama need each other. I hope Obama supporters will allow Obama to choose Hillary. If they continue to berate Hillary, it will serve McCain's and his cranky criticism of Obama.

How could the world respect the US any less after W?
I would have voted for Hillary simple because she would have things up and running a lot faster than Barak. However, I have no problem voting for him, and like what Brian said. Hillary won't be VP, but I sure hope she is defense or state.

HILIBOTS–Do NOT threaten Barak. Although we have freedom of speech–a lot of what you are espousing borders on criminal. Be careful–be VERY careful. CNN know how to get your true identity–so why wouldn't the CIA/FBI. Watch what you spew!

LISTEN UP REPUBLICANS, PUMA & OPERATION CHAOS:

It is over for you. Your time was wasted to begin with and now it is over.

Your Idiot will go down with Nixon as tied for the worst president in history.

The Republican Party is in shambles.

Tricks like pretending you are 'irate Clinton supporters" will not work.

Your lies show your sickness.

It is over for you. Barack H. Obama will be the next president of the United States of America.

Everyone needs to chill, stop the hate, and vote for the issues not the people. It does not matter which candidate is running, what matters is not to let the republicans hold on to the white house. To those of you who insist you will vote for mccain or stay home, you are just showing the world how STUPID you are…get a clue.

I also see some obviously racist comments here, thank god most of us aren't that ignorant…believe what you want, I choose to judge people based on what they do, not what color they are. You folks are a disgrace to this counrty and its to bad we cant ship you somewhere where you can't do damage with your hate!

She is also worthy of the vice presidential slot.

Hillary Supporters,

There is an old saying about someone who would 'cut of their nose to spite their face'. The Dem nomination is OVER. Anyone who would support McCain and vote against your own self interest and everything we stand for should go ahead and vote for him then. We Americans are truly a 'spoiled rotten' bunch. Hillary supporters, you did not get your way, you did not win, so you attempt to inflict pain on the person that did win even when Barack and Hillary share 90% of the same goals, as opposed to McSame. I am tired of the threats and stupidity…If you are stupid enough to vote for McCain and 8 more years of this mess, then by all means do so. You will deserve everything you get as a result.

Canda should support Obama as opening up trade as he will but claims not to do will benefit our brothers and sisters up above.

Clinton's record speaks for itself? Ha! Being a sore loser & whiner?
Obama and Gore are both jokes.

Vote Bob Barr 08!

MD June 17th, 2008 10:18 am ET :

Why dont you elaborate on just how unqualified he is -but before that visit BarackObama.com to refresh you obiosuly inept knowled of his policies..then make a valuable argument.

He is a noble leader- one eho will proabably make YOUR life better.

It is shocking that you would even speak Mrs. Clinton’s name. Your disingenuous praise is truly disgusting and it is beyond the pale that you would use her name to further your failing campaign. After you, your campaign and your vile supporters have misrepresented every aspect of her record and fabricated lie after lie about her, referencing her and using her good reputation and achievements to your benefit is wrong and reveals just how desperate you have become.

The DNC chose you and now they have to live with their choice but for any Democrat who values America over the Democratic Party, you are simply a non-starter. You are wrong for this country and no amount of pandering will change that.

People here are crazy. We MAYBE know 10% of what goes on in politics, and look at all your opinions. so black and white. Calm down and stop being extreme. Everyone running for office wants to make a positive impact on the country… and the difference between a Republican and Democrat in this country is negligible. It's like the difference between the letter 'N' and 'M'. Stop hating people who have the guts to run for office and have their lives scrutinized, and please better your own.

Wonder why we all love Obama? It's because of people like you who hate — experience or not (and Bill Clinton had not) he does give us a hope for a younger, smarter caring leader. I'll give my vote for that.

Heath Clendenning

"sherrie50 June 17th, 2008 10:28 am ET
FYI: Obama threw the kitchen sink at HC, also."

HAHAHAHAHA. Oh man. That was too much.

Look, I'm not trying to bash Hillary or her supporters here, just this person.

sherrie50, I'm sorry, but you have no clue what you are talking about. Bring up ONE skeleton from Hillary's closet that Obama used. There were so many to choose from, and he didn't use a single one.

Hillary and her supporters, on the other hand, used practically every last thing they could on the man. If you don't believe me, go back and watch that ABC debate. It's a simple fact, not an attack.

If you and people like you can't understand the language, don't try to talk it. A lot of people on both sides are extremely negative, and it's evident that hate is driving their actions. Pure and simple.

Look inside (if you have the ability to introspect) and see if hate is driving you. If it is, set it aside. Reflection and rationality have never been more necessary. Please.

Al Gore is a pundit. Everyone needs to remember his contribution to society – "He invented the internet" LOL

All of those pouting like spoil brats because Clinton didn't win and vow to vote for McCain….well, that's your choice. You are probably republicans anyway.

Clinton supporters have booed Obama. Seems like he has stepped up to the plate. Sure Clinton has done alot for women, but she wasn't the first and she surely will not be the last. Look at other women before her, Shirley Chisolm, Barbara Jordan, strong black women…they fail to mention these women done alot for black women.

It's all about what Clinton has done. But to take anything away from her would be ludacris. The point of the matter is, there is both fault on both sides. When one fails to recognize that, you only show what true character you are.

It's your right/choice to vote for whomever. Don't think cause you make those statement, will "hurt" Obama. Think long and hard, for it doesn't make sense to make a decision in haste, because you can't accept the fact a black man has won the democratic nomination. Give him a chance. I'm sure you want others to give you a chance and accept you.

HRC supporters ask how Obama supporters can be soooooo bitter and mean?…

Our candidate is still in the race!

And yet You all still have to spread the lies of how BHO is evil, sexist, muslim, racist, and everything and anything that jumps to ya'll's deranged minds!

Why don't ya'll take a queue from HRC and take some down time.

I am and have been an Obama supporter since hearing him speak at the 2004 DNC and truly believe that he is the visionary leader that this country needs. As an Obama supporter I have a great deal of respect for Hillary Clinton and believe that the work that she has done for this country is truly admirable. To those Clinton supporters who are unwilling to vote for Obama, I must admit that I find this hard to believe because if you were voting based on the issues, you could never vote for McCain as he is one who stands on the opposite side of what we as Democrats truly believe. To those Obama supporters who are angry at Hillary Clinton, get over it! This election is not about personality, it is about changing the course of this nation! Let's unite in November or we'll all be angry…not at Bush, McCain, Clintor, nor Obama…but at ourselves!

Woohoo for party Unity! All you Obamabots, stop trashing Hillary. All you Hillarybots, stop trashing Obama. UNITED WE STAND. Divided we fail our nation, our economy, our education, our healthcare, our supreme court, and ourselves. YES WE WILL!!!

Obama '08!!!

I applaud Mr. Obama. We need to pull this party back together, and he's certainly doing his part. I can see from some comments here that there is much work yet to do. I can't believe that someone would think that staying away from the polls in November is the right thing to do. Remember – if you don't vote, you have no right to complain.

The respect Sen. Obama can show to this woman after she blatantly tried to rob him of the nomination he so fairly won is beyond what most Americans can fathom. Mr. Gore is absolutely right – there is a charge in the atmosphere for change, and it will happen through President Obama!!!

Thank you, Sen. Obama, for not stooping to the "kitchen sink" tactics of Sen. Clinton's campaign! And for supposed Clinton supporters who say they'll now vote for McCain…they're no more Democrats than she was running for the American people.

…..AND SHE IS WORTHY OF THE DEMOCRATIC NOMINATION,MORESO THAN ANYONE. HER PAST WORK ON THE FRONT LINE OF HEALTH CARE ,AND CHILDREN'S RIGHTS HAS EARNED HER THE UTMOST RESPECT AMONG THOSE OF US WHO HAVE FOLLOWED HER POLITICAL CAREER. SHE HAS ALWAYS REPRESENTED CHANGE FOR THE BETTER!!!! BILL AND HILLARY MANAGED TO BRING ABOUT A LOT OF CHANGE,BALANCE THE BUDGET, AND NOT RAISE TAXES OUT OF SIGHT,ALL AT THE SAME TIME ,IN BILL'S ADMINISTRATION. THAT IS THE KIND OF LEADERSHIP WE REALLY NEED.

As a Canadian who watched John Kennedy as a 9 year old I still remember the inspirition I felt from across the border. I really see Barack as giving this generation American and others the kind of leadership we have been lacking for so long. I hope a Canadian leader will emerge who can do the same for us.

I think ultimately this is why Obama will lose the GE. Not necessarily because of the man himself, although he's very flawed, but moreso by the way he usurped the nomination. The DNC and media railroaded Sen. Clinton. This wasn't a fair fight, folks. Obama's camp was allowed to criticize Hillary, distort facts, use sexist language, bully voters, etc.., while being treated with kid gloves by the press. Now, even after she has left the race, his supporters continue to insult the intellect of her camp and downgrade her accomplishments. Their failure to reach out to Hillary Clinton's supporters will doom Barack come November. What could've been, eh?

Oh, how cute. The Obamaphiles are on here trying to get everyone to drink the kool-aid. Thou shall not worship false prophets. Oh well, guess some missed that part.

Sounds like it was staged. Just like Obama.

Becky, KS:

Thank you! For living up to the stereotype of dumb, illiterate, american redneck. The nation is proud of you!

Gee, a nobel-prize winning, academy award winning former vice-president doesn't know what he's talking about. That amazes me. He was vice-president for 8 years of a very successful America. Golly gee, he probably knows nothing about what it takes for America to succeed.

Tell me what experience in foreign relations George Bush had before becoming president? We elected that fool for 2 terms. John McCain talks about Obama not being in Iraq; that's fine, but when was the last time John McCain visited a water-logged state like Wisconsin or Iowa and filled a sand-bag? When was the last time John McCain went to New Orleans and helped with the relief efforts? When was the last time John McCain visited a homeless shelter?

Those are what matter. Spending time in OUR country, rather than jetting all over the world for photo opportunities. Spending taxpayers dollars to do so. That's a good way to help our economy.

Obama supporters booing Clinton??
I've heard of sore losers before, but sore WINNERS??
Give me a break!!

Too little too late Sweetie. Barry will never win over a large majority of Hillary supporters. I will stay home rather than vote Obama.

HM, Obama ran a campaign, if you wanna blame somebody do it to yourself, people like you did not give her money nor the support she needed.. More people voted for Obama, the have more delegates and won more states… Some body else who may have ruined her campaign more then you is Bill Clinton…

So what education is there for becoming president ?? non you fools, it is about the persons and what they stand for… thats how Obama won, new ideas, better ideas and a new time in America and the rest of the world..

Denise P. Quinton is what's wrong with this nation– Google her name and all sorts of ill-informed man-hating comments appear. You, madame, need to have your head examined. If nothing else, be cynical– do you really think the DNC would let someone rise to the heights Obama has if he had any real ties to Islam or black power? No, because then ignorant trash like yourself would never consider voting for him.

It's so sad to see Clinton supporters so hateful. Why are you so ugly?

TO CLINTON SUPPORTERS: GET OVER IT. THERE IS ENOUGH HATE IN THE WORLD. STOP BEING SO UGLY.

Some of these entries are filled with hate. OMG give me a break. Keep it up and you too will feel the wrath!!! Such anger – this is why we are in the fix we are in. Come on Americans!! Unite. Stop the hate or you too will feel God's wrath. NO WEAPONS FORMED AGAINST US SHALL PROSPER!!!

You too, Al? Are there no leaders left over at the undemocratic Democratic Party? Not one who remembers our principles of equality and equal treatment, of full democratic participation and of fair reflection? Not one who will stand up to these weasels who sleazed off with power that they didn't earn and don't deserve?

Not one?

Well, fortunately, we decide who our leaders will be over at the true Democratic Party. And we will be heard. And when we have our party back, all the failed leaders will be returned to their places as citizens with no more power over our party than the power of a vote on election day. Your days calling yourselves leaders are numbered.

Barack Obama: Selected, not elected.

We're taking our party back. Count on it.

PUMA DEMOCRAT

Barak spilled out a few interesting differences from his past quotes that show he is a typical politician and already changing direction right in the face of his congregation. I guess this is the kind of 'change' he speaks of….a chance to 'change' his mind mid-stream. Also, Al Gore is a hypocrite and a snake oil salesman. He lives a life of waste yet he will call on every other person to change their ways. The Democrat Party is spiraling out of control.

McCain = America's Continued Econmic downturn
McCain = loss of clout and respect in the internalional community
McCain = Abolishing a woman's right to choose
McCain = Tax Breaks for the Rich
McCain = More War

Moderate? Hardly.

Republicans everyone knows it is you all on these blogs trying to act as if Hilary supporters hate Obama. Please stop it it just makes you look desperate and foolish. Grow-up already.

Good for Senator Obama, now if his supporters will take his lead and really see that Senator Clinton has made a positive difference, than maybe her supporters will back Senator Obama.

And, Joe, just what do you base your remarks about Clinton on? You Hillary haters have vicous remarks but you never give specifics. Rumors, that's all!

Thank you, Senator Obama for your kind words about Senator Clinton. It really saddens me that some of the crowd booed, but we are all entitled to our opinions and I certainly respect everyone's opinion. As a Hillary supporter from the beginning, I have been listening and watching your campaign to get a better understanding of your ideas and policies. As a life long Democrat, I am really upset with the DNC right now, but I am still a Democrat.

Thanks again for your kind words about Hillary and I will continue to watch, look and listen. Keep The Faith…….

A Hillary Supporter

People: please give me some REAL hypotheticals to what bad may happen to you and or this country if OBAMA is elected….

what FEARS do you have?

Which one of the people running for this job have run a Country before?

Any one who will vote for a candidate based on what a supporter says is rather silly. You can vote for a candidate or against a candidate, but to say "Because the Obama supporters are so mean, I'm voting for McCain" is so childish that one would wonder if you could even find the voting booth in the first place.

The fact is that Hillary went negative early and often. Hillary caused this division in the party and probably cost herself politically for a long time, no matter what the outcome of this coming election holds.

For what it is worth, when the choice was Obama or Clinton, I was strait up a Obama fan, but if the choice had been Clinton vs McCain, I don't know how anyone could vote for that angry, petty, old man. His anger reputation gives Bill Clinton a serious run for his money.

Democrats 08/12 President/Vice President/Senators/Reps/Govs/all the way down to dog catchers.

It is time to throw any political candidate with an R behind their name onto the trash heap

Of course the booed they were all HIS supporters. Yet people talk about Hillary's supporters.

Hillary's a crook. I thought you werent going to play the game, Obama. I just lost some respect for you.

Jon, you are so out of line to compare Obama to Hitler.

What a true Statesman! To all the Hillary Supporters…Please note How Obama defended Hillary and confronted the booos from the audience…Unlike Hillary, who allowed the boos to go on during her too little too late concession speech…Also she has done unimaginable damage to his campaign…During her "fight" for the White House she proved one thing…She's a tough fighter for her own selfish ambitious race for the White House…It wasn't about the little people..it was about the Clinton ego, and that was obvious! Now Obama is left to regroup, try to unite a party divided by her and on top of all of that ..they want him to pay off her campaign debt…Unbelievable!! Obama 08!!!

Kathleen, is there a reason you mentioned O.J Simpson in your post? Obama is O.J and Hillary is Nicole? is that where you tried to take it? You really need to get a life, crawl back into your hole.

Wow Kathleen, could you be any more racist? Now I am starting to question if these posts are coming from HRC supporters or Karl Rove, because there doesn't seem to be much difference between the two.

To all the idiots who say they will vote for McCain because Hillary didn't get the nomination I can only say this: Your unreasonable reaction to Hillary's loss makes you look like a bunch of whiny cry-babies. If you would vote against your own best interests because you've got your panties in a wad over your loss then you deserve what you get. I just hate that you take the rest of us down with you.

Remember, during an election the only focus is to prove that you are the best candidate available. Obama did not his endorsements to Clinton’s life’s work during the first months of his campaign because it would promote Clinton’s candidacy for president, not Obama‘s.

No, I believe that Obama is true when he honors Clinton's name and her achievements. It is time to be loyal to a cause, not to any one individual! Let's elect Obama on behalf of everything Clinton and the rest of the Democratic party stands for… a brighter future.

Ok that's it! I can't do it any longer. I CANT KEEP SELLING MY SOUL TO THE GOP!

I admit it. The McCain campaign has been paying me to regularly post derogatory messages on the ticker. If you don't believe me, look at my post history. Do you really think anyone would spend so much of their time making hundreds of posts day-in, day-out if they weren't getting paid?

I can't do it any more. You may not believe me anymore, but I value by integrity and my nation too much to be a so called PUMA. I am truly sorry for being a traitor. I hope you Dems will find it in you to forgive and embrace me.

One last thing…I have repented, but the GOP snakes never will. You will probably see more hateful posts from Brian Knoxville TN. Just know that its not me.

DEMS '08!

gee whiz Barry Thanks!

Obama fans who are in 'awe' of what an amazing man this is…. obviously have no clue about politics. Of COURSE he is going to praise Hil now, to try and appease her supporters… He's got a big election coming up, and needs all the votes he can get.

And of course she is NOT going to do anything to appease her supporters just yet. She still has some power to sway things, because she knows that Obama can't win without her supporters too. I'm sure you'll see her praise him eventually too, when there is something in it for her.

It's nothing personal, just politics.

Canada applauds Obama !!

Lead the World America…

Not your special interest groups.

Hearing Clinton supporters bashing Obama is a travesty

There are lots of crazies on these blogs. Wow, we live in the 2008 and still there's so much racism and hate of anything that's considered "different". Barack is not a Muslim, and let's say that in a reality that doesn't exist, he is, what's wrong with that? There's something seriously wrong with people, some of you are so filled with hate, you need therapy. I guess operation destroy Democrats didn't work out so well and now your vile inner selves are shinning through.

As a Hillary supporter, I'd like to thank Obama for what he said, and I know he meant it. He got my support in the general election.

Obama unleashed these dogs now he can't put them back in the kennel when he needs to. The guy played with fire from the start by creating this cult. These haters probably expect him to invite them to live in the Whitehouse. They are going to be very disapointed when he no longer requires them after November.

OBAMA /CLINTON IS THE ONLY WAY I WILL VOTE FOR HIM.

HM …………… BARACK OBAMA HELP TRIED TO DESTROY HILLARY CLINTON. HE WILL PAY IN THE LONG RUN. THERE ARE THOSE OS US WHO DO FORGET………………..HM…….. I don't quiet understand what you are trying to say ,if it's negative keep it to ypurself .Time to move on. (PHIL FL ………………… She needs to say something to let folks know how she really feels, and it's time NOW)……….HRC took a vacation away from it all ……………..SHE is a true Denocratic always will be ,the last speech she gave was outstanding …….so just CHILL!!!!!!

DEMOCRATIC FOREVER!!

Senator Obama ran an honorable campaign, in spite of all the negative attacks that were launched by the Hillary Campaign. And he still expresses praise and respect towards her and her supporters.

Some Hillary supporters have depicted Senator Obama, a Harvard educated, intelligent individual as a monkey among other things. Some Hillary Supporters in West Virginia stated plain and simple that they would never vote for him because he is black.

This, in 2008! Only in America.

Senator Obama is the new face of politics, which is the reason why he won the primaries. I went into the primary season leaning toward Senator Clinton, however, I was so put off by her continuous vitriole she shot at Senator Obama that was without cause. He is extremely gracious, and extremely intelligent, and I believe in him. He has brought an excitement to politics that has not been present since the Civil Rights Movements. He epitomizes the fruits of the hard work put in by both women for Women's Suffrage, and from blacks during the Civil Rights era. It boggles my mind that staunch Hilary supporters would vote for McCain who would overturn Roe vs Wade without any thought. America…wake up! Hilary was right…we have too much at stake to not vote, and too much at stake to not vote for the man who will lead our country back to the top where we belong…Senator Barack Obama.

***********************************************
THIS IS HARD TO BELIEVE BUT I NEVER SAW A SMEAR AD COMING FROM BARAKS CAMP AND YET THEY SEEM TO ATTRACT BIGGER CROWDS. I THINK AMERICA IS FED UP AND IS TRUELY MAKING A STATEMENT ON HAVING A BETTER CHOICE THIS 08 ELECTIONS. WE ALL HOPE THIS WOULD TRANSLATE TO A VICTORY FOR BARAK. STOP THE MADNESS. VOTE OBAMA.

Obama will say anything he has to to get elected.

Just a month ago he Bashed Senator Clinton on almost every issue and now he says she's the greatest public servant in almost all areas.

Clinton supporters aren't that stupid to believe what you say now. Oh, I know… you weren't there when the statements were made about Senator Clinton in the primaries…

Obama = just another politician.

If you're going to hire a politician at least elect one that knows how to get things done in Washington.

Brian Knoxville, TN—— What are you talking about?? Or do you even know? There are over 18 million of us who ELECTED Obama in the primary election!! Get over it!!

To Phil, FL

You epitomize the ignorance and arrogance of Obama supporters. You give too much credit where little or no credit is due (mostly to your candidate) and NO CREDIT when and where it is due.

Hillary Clinton has said very good things about Obama. Appartently you missed or are completely disregarding her speech the Saturday after the primaries ended. Let me quote: "In his own life, Barack Obama has lived the American Dream. As a community organizer, in the state senate, as a United States Senator – he has dedicated himself to ensuring the dream is realized. And in this campaign, he has inspired so many to become involved in the democratic process and invested in our common future. "

You should try thinking before you speak or write. It is the stupidity of Obama supporters that is tearing the Democratic Party apart and will lose the White House once again this November.

Thanks for your support, idiot!

And people expect us to back obama with the type of butts who support him. They are crude rude and out and out sexist. A bunch of ignorant zonked out kids….America is in for a rude awakening if this bunch ever get in charge. There will be mayhem in the streets. Look at the way they acted in the caucus. DID YOU SEE ANY OF HILLARY CLINTON SUPPORTERS ACTING LIKE THIS BUNCH OF CULT MEMBERS. HECK NO…THEY HAVE RESPECT FOR AMERICA not like the witch of obama's that dissed this country.

so much for unity….

he goes out and hires HRC's ex-campaign manager after she'd been fired.

the more i find out about obama, the more i dislike him.

Yup here comes the republican posers—–we TrueBlueDems know who you are and what you r trying to do.. i hope the McCain camp is paying you by the way

To Denise, I am an informed and educated Obama supporter. From your comment "the day they gave our country away to Muslim, black power nation supporters" shows just how uninformed and uneducated you are. Read everything and do the fact checking from multiple source and not just one before you make irresponsible statements. Thee were many things said by both sides during the primary, but the primary is over and it is time to elect a president. Sending incorrect information , hate speech and the rest does no one any good. I feel sorry for all those who can not accept a person on their word.

Gracious when the cameras are on him. A thug to the core. He spews hatred, exhibits disdain for millions of Americans who are not like him and makes a mockery of the political process. Let's join voices to boo Obama and see to it that he does not win the national election.

Hillary '08 or McCain/Jindal '08 or McCain/Palin '08

good man obama
but we already know her true colours
good job,mr president

HM

Your statement sounds very much like a THREAT to me, YOU SHOULD BE REALLY, REALLY, CAREFUL WITH CARELESS USE OF WORDS.

This is the SECOND THREAT SOUNDING COMMENT THIS MORNING!

By the way folks, don't you realize who the real RENEGADES ARE IN THE ISSUE OF MICHIGAN AND FLORIDA?

Give me a break! STOP ACTING LIKE TWO AND THREE YEAR OLDS!

THE REAL CULPRITS WERE the REPUBLICANS!

They are the ones that you should be aiming all of your barbs at! REPUBLICANS WERE TOTALLY RESPONSIBLE FOR MOVING UP THE VOTE, THE OTHERS JUST FOLLOWED THROUGH!

You folks keep blaming Barack, HE HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH IT!

Frankly since I have been following this campaign I HAVE NEVER HEARD BARACK SAY NASTY THINGS ABOUT HILLARY! HE HAS ALWAYS RESPECTED HER, which by the way, is more than I can say for Hillary's treatment of Barack!

SO GET A LIFE, HILLARY SUPPORTERS AND MOOOOOOOOOOVE
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOON!

For all of those complaining about Barack, you should just take a good look and analyse your RENEGADE PARTY'S NAME! It is no wonder you behave the way you do! YOUR PARTY'S NAME SAYS IT ALL!

PUMA…………….DISGUSTING

Hey HM, name same of those lies and hate that you alluded to. You can't. Don't put the actions of the media onto Barack Obama. It's a shame that the HRC supporters are showing their true colors. This opportunity is much bigger than your hurt feelings and bruised egos.

I agree Mark. We don't know what Hillary and Barrack spoke about in their Private meeting. I bet you a dollar to a dime they will work out their differences and we will have spent all this time talking down to each other. We are all Democrats and we need to be united.

We need help in this country and we need it now. What is all the fussing amongest ourselves accomplishing?

The messiah has spoken and Hillary is now just a distraction from his real goal of world peace and unity. HAHAHAHAHA! He can't even unite his own PARTY, but yet his going to unite the world. I wish him well, but just don't see it happening. Not that I am saying McCain is any better. Heck, HRC, as much as I dislike her, was probably the strongest of the three.

It is wise to be smart Barack, you will probably need Sen. Clinton!

Well, Barack Obama is a lot nicer than myself. Good man!

How did Barack help to destroy her?? If you want to get mad at anybody get mad at Hillary for running a poor campaign and at the MEDIA which Barack has ZERO control over?? I guess all you Hillary supporters never stopped to think that there was NO guarantee she would win and that you may have to vote for whoever the Dem nominee is!!! You all make women look petty and spiteful which is how most men see us anyway. No wonder they dont want a woman President. Go Figure.

The more Obama supporters trash us Clinton folk, the more I'm inclined to stay at home. I've never like Obama (and I'm a black male age 47) but I can't vote for McCain. Has anyone noticed how terrible borring the campaign is without Mrs. Clinton. McCain and Obama—yarn!!

HM said,

"BARACK OBAMA HELP TRIED TO DESTROY HILLARY CLINTON. HE WILL PAY IN THE LONG RUN. THERE ARE THOSE OS US WHO DO FORGET."

For your next comment, try to sound a little more believable. Nobody's buying it. You have been, and always will be, a Republican. Stop pretending Hillary supporters are angry enough to reverse their points of view and just support your candidate, John McCain, like a reasonable adult.

IF OBAMA REALLY BELIEVES WHAT HE SAYS WHAT IS A GOOD REASON FOR HIM NOT TO PICK HRC FOR VP. ACTIONS SPEAKS LOUDER THAN WORDS. WORDS ARE CHEAP,THE ONLY WAY THE COUNTRY AND ESPECIALLY HER 18,000,000 SUPPORTERS KNOWS THAT IT ISN'T A TYPICAL CAMPAIGN SPEECH IS TO PUT HER ON HIS TICKET. WITH ALL HIS TALK HE HAS NEVER INDICATED WHAT POSITION HE FEELS WOULD BE BEST FOR OUR COUNTRY.

If anyone thinks that Obama threw the kitchen sink at Hillary Clinton, then you must have forgotten everything from 1992-2007. Did Obama ever mention Whitewater, Monica Lewinsky, Jennifer Flowers, Impeachment, shady cattle deals in Arkansas, Vince Foster, Travelgate, Selling time in the Lincoln bedroom, millions of dollars from the Saudis, Norman Hsu, Mark Rich, etc.? No he did not "as far as I know". Those are the reasons the Republicans wanted Hillary nominated. They would not have been so kind.

For more information, read Obma' wife Thesis, you will change your mind…….. She will destroy everything

What a hypocritical, despicable sorry example of a politician. HRC does not need Obama's judas defense. She is leagues above Obama in political stature, in dedication and in intelligence. The fact is, she best not go near Obama even with a ten foot political pole, he is political poison.

country before party. Vote McCain.

After all the negativity from the Clinton side, Obama still takes the high road. This is one of the qualities I like to see in a president.

Obama supporters and the media have consistently maligned a great democratic family. While Bill Clinton was president, this country prospered and was respected throughout the world. Chelsea supported her mother, as anyone would. Hillary has consistently defended and fought for all Americans rights. I'm tired of hearing the disrespectful rantings of the Obama supporters. As long as the Obama supporters continue this hatefulness, the Clinton supporters will have a hard time supporting Obama. This has to stop, if the Democratic party is truly going to unite and defeat McCain. My vote for Obama is pending his showing us that he can control his supporters and start showing true leadership. After all, if he can't properly lead his campaign, how in the world can he lead this country.

Don't be fooled by the negative bloggers and those who claim to be Hillary supports that will not back Obama! These are most likely McCain political strategiest trying to get you not to vote for Obama. This is business as usual for the Republicans!

Hazel June 17th, 2008 10:30 am ET

Obama's rabid supporters are his worst enemies. They do more to hurt him than the right wing political attack machine ever could. There will be no unity without respect– that's a fact. Get hold of yourselves Obamaphiles, if you care at all about your candidate.
————————————————————————————————

HAZEL, do you seem to forget how Clinton supporters were being disrespectful at the FL/MI DNC meeting? Or how they were booing Senator Obama at Hillary's concession speech? It's amazing how you seem to forget how Senator Obama was treated by Hillary supporters and Hillary herself during this primary. It's like you remember what you want to remember in order to defend your weak arguments.

Where is Hillary Clinton? What happened to the support from her team to unify the party? What happened during the "secret meeting" ? It seems that she is truly showing her colors and biding her time. Mr. Obama has been and continues to be gracious and supportive of her campaign yet it seems that the onus of unification now rests on his shoulders even though the divisiveness originated from the Clinton campaign. Mr. Obama will be President and it would be "nice" for Hillary's supporters to get onboard and I believe that a majority of them will. To the ones who do not then all I can offer is my condolences and hope that you make the right choice to end the war, improve our economy, and build a more patient friendly healthcare system. We need to rise above the petty disagreements and name calling to reach the next level.

Hey LIZ (and other HRC supporters), if you're willing to vote for McCain because you feel disrespected by Obama supporters, then I'm not really sure what to tell you. You do realize you're voting for the candidate, not the supporters…right? Who gives a crap about rude supporters who are apparently incapable of an objective thought. Clinton had/has tons of rude supporters, too. Do I like them? God, no. But am I going to let them determine who I vote for? Absolutely not…ridiculous irrational people won't play a role in who I cast my ballot for.

So magnanimous, so gracious, so generous…try to be objective, people. If you would just erase the cloud of hate from your eyes, you will see not only someone who is capable of doing the work but also someone who will represent us well all over the world.

Obama said the right thing about Hillary. Their battle is over, it's McCain he's after. Unity among democrats is the game now.
About Florida and Ohio. Sure Obama needs those states, and he know that. But what he was saying is that he is not going to let those states take his campaign hostage. He is not going to sell the farm trying to win them. My saying, there are twelve roads to Pennsylvania Ave. All of them doesn't run through Florida or Ohio. Florida and Ohio, Obama need you, it would make things easier, but he is not going to empty the war chest to get you. If you are truly interested in "change", then he won't have to. Florida being a tourist state difinitely need a booming economy, and all of Wall Street is saying that Obama would be good for the country. So my friends in Florida, wise up and play the odds, vote for Obama. It would be good for the State, it would be good for you. Likewise Ohio voters.

I believe that Obama would make a promising leader of the US, if not just by making history to be the first colored in the White House he might prove to be a leader to leave a great legacy. He came from the backstreet and knows what Americans are going through right now and not someone who has been enjoying their lives in grandeur while watching others suffer. Enough bickering, its about time to move on forward for a change.

Obama supporters are not ruining the democratic debate…LIZ. It is simple to see the blind loyalty and severe negativity of Clinton surrogates and many of her supporters. Just today, Lanny Davis is joining FOX news as a political analyst. Why would FOX news (a.k.a. Republican channel) hire an ardent Hillary supporter to join their team? In Lanny's ignorance and bitterness, he will strongly promote Hillary as a VP and dimiss Obama as an inadequate candidate in the general election. This is one of those perfect FOX new channel scenarios to continue to try to cause chaos and division in Democratic Party Presidential politics!

Most of the ardent Hillary supporters on TV are not discussing issues important to Americans that all Democrats support.

Oh my god. I have a hard time getting CNN to post my comments, but you get some real racist leaving some real stupid comments. People say they don't care about skin color. Read some of these negative comments and you please tell me. And America is telling other countries how to treat there poeple. How can we and we are the most racist nation in the world.

As usual, this shows Obama is the superior candidate!

Obama and Algore are both goons.

Of course there would be boos there, those are Obama supporters,

Clinton is the best qualified and the most trustworthy of all however
myself and about 10 million other Clinton supporters all pledge to vote for John McCain – NOOBAMA for us.
There is going to be a million women March in Denver,
The Un Democratic party is in for a rude awakening.

HM; What are you talking about?? I got the message that Clinton, with the help of her husband, tried really hard to destroy Obama!! Open your eyes.

I congratulate you Senator Obama and take your time choosing your VP.

Imagine …..he still speaks highly of Clinton. The lord said fogive and forget please spporters lets all unit.

That's the mark of a good President

No Obama, this time is for McCain and 2012 will be for Hillary. We will not vote for Obama no matter what and we will speack for McCain…. Hillary people please vote for McCain and show to the DNC that we do not like their politics and we can decide not them….. Sham on then

Hiullary, Obama and McCain…political animals ARE what is wrong with America. We don't need any of them!!!

Believe me, he will start running for re-election on January 21st, if he wins. He started running for the US Senate the day he was sworn in as a State Senator. The Presidency, the day after the oath for US Senator. Anyone who doesn't believe that is very naive. He has done nothing but run for election since he started! No resume at all. I will write Hillary on my ballot in November, be it wasted or not. We have had more Republican Presidents then we have had democrats and Roe v Wade is still there? I'm not worried about that ever being overturned. I am worried about a President who will tax and spend us to death. How does Obama plan to pay for the Great American give away? If we bring all the troops home, where are they going to work? The overseas bases provide jobs. With the all volunteer military, we have dedicated military. Just imagine 350 thousand more people looking for a job!

It's the negative Obama supporters who will cost him this election if they're not careful. As a Clinton supporter who is now supporting Obama I see this first hand.

Take a lesson from our candidate and show some respect! Yes, even if you feel Hillary has not done the same. We should be focused on one goal, electing a democratic president. To do so we will need all the support we can get.

No McCain!

Obama '08

Leadership personified. Thank you Obama.

Those who believe Obama is too inexperienced consider this:
JFK was 43 and had less- it takes more than being a Washington insider to be a great president

How come nobody talks about Bob Barr?

Its a sad day when a man who wants to govern according to the Constitution is considered a radical.

Fall in line behind you respective Democrat or Republican masters. Silly sheep.

Denise P Quinton: They weren't booing her experience and expertise, they were booing her TACTICS, and the sense of entitlement she displayed.

HM: Go troll somewhere else, you have no credibility here.

The intoxication with the Clinton's is not a good thing for the country.
Populist politics are very succesful in other lands but it has no place in the U.S.A.

Juan Domingo Peron and Evita Peron are an example that we do not need in our neighbourhood.

Life does not circulate around the Clinton's or their supporters. Too much honey is not good…let's move on.

Lets Go Dems!!!

Senator Obama is just awesome. He will make a Great President. I have always liked Hillary as well. I feel confident that she will be on the ticket to make it a true "Dream Ticket". Let's move forward together and get back the White House in November.

Good for him. He needs to defend her as much as possible with all the criticism she put up with from the media over the course of this election. Hopefully by respecting her and what she has done, he will slowly win the respect of her supporters.

Oh, and by the way… thanks, Al Gore. As we learned from JFK, youth and inexperience doesn't mean we won't see results. While JFK's life was tragically cut short, I'm sure we could have seen a lot more from him. What I see in Barack Obama is a man with a vision who, despite criticism from skeptics, will work his tail off to achieve whatever he sets out to do. Thomas Edison once said, "Genius is 1% inspiration and 99% perspiration." Obama has done his part to inspire us, so I think it's reasonable to expect that he will follow through and give 100%.

Democrats unite! Obama '08!

I wonder when Hillary will start her unstinting campaign to put Obama in the white house.It is now two weeks since the primary season ended, I sincerely hope Hillary will come forward and support the Democrat who will be confirmed as the Presidential candidate.
America has to ask herself do you really want to be fighting a war on another front ! Iran? do you want oil to hit 200 plus dollars a barrel do you want to se a further errosion of the value of the dollar then Vote John McCain if the above is not what you are looking for then only Barack Obama can bring the change and results you seek.
The greatest priority now is to bolster the election monitors so that the Republicans cannot through any tampering with the voting machines or the disenfranchisement schemes we have seen in that past can skew another election. If there is any doubt about the voting machine integrity then the management of Diabold and S-ES should be arrested and charged with treason this time around, I simply do not trust these two companies to be honest participants in the November election.

The crowd that was booing doesn't realize that they are the biggest problem for their savior Mr. Obama. They are the reason many Clinton supporters will not vote for Obama. He created this mess. He is right to try to clean it up. Too bad he ran the negative campaign that he did.

Remember, he and his campaign turned the best President this nation has seen in the past 30+ years into a racist in the eyes of the black community. When at a rest stop on the PA Turnpike a few weeks ago before the nomination was over, a black family walked in and when they heard and saw on the TV above the commentators saying that Hillary was open to being VP – they showed utter disdain towards her. The older woman, made some negative comment regarding Hillary and was extremely disrespectful. She doesn't realize, Mr. Obama can't win without the votes of all Democrats, including me. The attitude I saw was outrageous and not appreciated. People should stop and think and believe the facts – not what they want to believe because it fits their agenda.

LIZ; Don't criticize negative Obama supporters until you clean up and can insure negative Clinton supporters will turn positive. A point made was that there were negative Clinton supporters at her endorsement speech who were not told to adjust their attitude by Clinton, as Obama told his supporters to do.

Naturally the Great Puppet stayed above the fray!

We know what your camp did to destroy the stronger Candidate!

Payback will be a Landslide victory for McCain!

McCain 08

I'm sick of all the negative comments regarding Clinton and/or Obama.

First of all, THIS IS POLITICS and this is what politics is all about…
It's DOWN AND DIRTY and you have to know how to play the game.

If you can't stomach it, then don't get involved….

Not one politician is squeaky clean….
Even Senator Obama has something hidden in his closet, it just hasn't come out yet….

Get over it, enough of the Hillary bashing and GET A LIFE….
Grow up, people!!!!

Maybe we all need to stop blogging so we can stop focusing on each other and focus on the presidential nominees and the issues at hand.

It would be a shame to let bloggers keep you from choosing the right man for the job.

Lirn to spel LIZ!

Hillary Clinton and Barak Obama admire each other. Both Want a Democrat in the White House. So if you support Hillary Clinton you must follow her lead. Vote for Barak Obama. Any comments otherwise are just a McCain Supporter no matter how they try to dress it up.

Was Michigan the right state for Gore to endorse Obama? Is this endoresment a luttle too late? I'm just wondering why now?

I think Clinton ran a good race, but we need to move to the general election. CNN has tones of missed opportunities and can learn from FOX how coverage is meant to unfold.

Bigger man. Have you run for President? Did you campaign for 16 hard months. It was just last week that she lost. Give the woman a break. She deserves to kick up her feet and relax for a while. Maybe even knock back a couple of shots.

Geez

Obama supporters blame HRC supporters for their mood.
HRC supporters blame Obama supporters for their mood.
Blame, blame, blame, blame, blame.

Quit giving your power away to others.

One other thing: I wish we'd refrain from referring to Obama as a messiah. For one, it's inaccurate and for another, you're likely to make him even more of a target.

It's going to take a hell of a lot more than one person–even one administration to turn things around and upside down.

Remember that word they used a lot on Sesame Street?
COOPERATION: Change will occur as a result of a collective unifying force–not a messiah, not a savior.

Sending heart energy to all.
Peace-

What Bothers me is some people saying "He (Obama) better pick this person (Clinton)…." or i'm not voting…. Seriously? Have you considered the alternative… If you are not going to Participate in the the election at all… as "protest" that is the dumbest thing in then world…

Just get out of this country then… To be AMERICAN is to VOTE… Don't be spiteful… Stop the hate and ignorance…

No One is perfect… let the man do his best… you can't control everyone all the time… I mean Sometimes People from Obama's camp are going to say & do some things that you don't agree with, but most things reported have nothing to do with Obama himself…

Also Please stop saying that he STEALS idea's from Clinton…or Gore or anyone in the DEm party…. He's new & if he can bring together the best ideas of those that influence him…. how is that a bad thing? They all should have similar plans considering they represent the same type of American Citizens. I can't see where obama has excluded anyone but the Super Rich…. he has reached out to everyone. Hate some of the media.. Ok… Hate some of the loud-mouth supporters… OK… But don't hate the man… especially if you were/Are a Hillary Supporter…

-V

obama will say anything to win the american people over. he is a liar, a
phony and a cheat.

He only wants to sound positive about hillary to win her supporters over. I will never surrender to him. He will not have my vote or my family's. hispanics for MCCAIN!!!!…………GO MCCAIN!!!!!!!!

The numbers are now clearly showing that it is a myth that many Clinton supporters are going to vote for McCain. Sure there will be some and many will keep posting in BOLD TYPE with lots of exclamation points!!!! on comment sections like this but overall, the numbers are in normal range for a general election. And many of these postings are GOP supporters masking as Clinton supporters…

Obama supporters, don't reply in kind to the attacks from Clinton supporters. Just let them vent. No point and no need. Obama is on his way to being elected. And in 8 years, countless Obama supporters will be working alongside countless Clinton supporters to help get another excellent candidate for president elected.

I have mixed feeling about Hilary that i will keep to my self

Mrs Obama said it all when she said that she was proud of America for the first time. For the first time in our glorious history she was proud?! And her husband will be a good president of US? The one that didn't take care of looking who is a president of Iraq? Come on, guys! I understand that he is black – but it is not enough to be a president of US.

He is full of empty words – like he will "do everything" not to permit Iran to obtain nuclear weapons. A good public servant says – I will do this, this and this not to make it happen! He MUST know what to do! Everything means nothing!

INTEGRITY MATTERS…..

That's why he is the nominee. Whether you agree with him or not he has had nothing but respect for everyone including McCain. He 's a stand up guy.

He's going to make a wonderful President.

This will solve the problem and end any Democratic party division (from the mind of an Independent voter, by the way)…

President: Barack Obama

Vice President: Al Gore (perfect platform for his environmental stance)

Secretary of State: Hillary Clinton (loved by other world leaders, she would bring back a sense of respect and authority to the position)

What ya think?

Rudyard Kipling said it best:

[IF]

If you can keep your head when all about you
Are losing theirs and blaming it on you,
If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you
But make allowance for their doubting too,
If you can wait and not be tired by waiting,
Or being lied about, don't deal in lies,
Or being hated, don't give way to hating,
And yet don't look too good, nor talk too wise:
If you can dream–and not make dreams your master,
If you can think–and not make thoughts your aim;
If you can meet with Triumph and Disaster
And treat those two impostors just the same;
If you can bear to hear the truth you've spoken
Twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools,
Or watch the things you gave your life to, broken,
And stoop and build 'em up with worn-out tools:

If you can make one heap of all your winnings
And risk it all on one turn of pitch-and-toss,
And lose, and start again at your beginnings
And never breath a word about your loss;
If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew
To serve your turn long after they are gone,
And so hold on when there is nothing in you
Except the Will which says to them: "Hold on!"

If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue,
Or walk with kings–nor lose the common touch,
If neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you;
If all men count with you, but none too much,
If you can fill the unforgiving minute
With sixty seconds' worth of distance run,
Yours is the Earth and everything that's in it,
And–which is more–you'll be a Man, my son!

YES WE CAN!!!!!

Oh Please, all you hilary's supporters should stop making such a fuss. Hilary was nothing but hateful to obama during the primaries and still he was so humble enough not to retaliate. However, he showed more maturity by commending hilary. What more do you want.
You are just so hateful and you have no good or solid reason to hate Obama. You are just very angry that Clinton did not win. Obama won fair and square and you are having a hard time dealing with it. Suck it up and grow up!!!!!!

Please. Hillary's kitchen sink was mild. Extremely mild. That was the baby kitchen sink in the toy kitchen.

And she deserves respect. She's earned respect. She's spent her entire adult life fighting for rights and the American public pays her back by making her out to be a monster.

LIZ: "Obama supporters being so negative" ???

What about HIllary herself and her negativity toward Obama and all of his supporters? Hope this clears up something for you!

Hope you will be happy sometime…

All this none constructive negativity with soon be over and we will be focusing on the real issues. So keep your blood pressure down, life is an uphill climb now, thanks to the Bush administration.

It makes me laugh when people call Obama arrogant… don't they really mean "uppity"?

lol

The problem is the image and message that the Clinton camp has given off, both implicitly and explicitly. While Obama's actions supporting and praising Clinton have seem less timed and planned, therefore more genuine, Clinton's have seemed the opposite. Of course, this could also be completely the reverse of reality, and I suspect that Obama is still as much a politician as the next guy. The thing is, he has sensed the mood of the country and is playing the right cards NOW. The opportunistic and flexible nature of his campaign/politics has got him to this point. The question is, will he deliver? Or is it just politics as usual, with the only difference being Obama being more skilled at making his politics seem like they're not just posturing to play to the crowd, and therefore 'bringing change' or 'being different?'

You go Prime Minister Obama, I mean President Obama.

I can't wait till you visit all 57 states, I mean 50.

Sorry "sweetie" if I sound "bitter and clinging to guns and religion", but I just recently became "for the first time in my adult life, really proud of my country" and the change message with no substance behind them makes me feel "like a typical white person" who isn't buying the BS you are selling.

Clinton was twice the candidate you are, she FORGOT more than you know and the people have every right and reason to boo you, empty vessel with empty substance.

Show some seeds and do the town halls with McCain, but you know when your away from your teleprompter, speech writers and IN THE TANK PUNDITS, you are not as "articulate".

A supposed voice of the people will not answer questions from the people, hmmmmmmmmmmmmm.

Sorry, I am BITTER.

It's nice that he's trying to unify the party
but those cranky huffy supporters of Bill's baby mama
will just see it as yet another conspiracy.

Unite the party…defeat McSame

What a stand up guy.

Although I'm not a big fan of Clinton, she deserves kudos for her hard work.

I applaud Obama this is what we need in our country.
Let the Republicans continue their divisive messages.
Just remember "United we stand, divided we fall" Is time to work at uniting our country.
Obama has my vote in 08.

DNC selected Obama and the Clinton supporters know it, and are NOT accepting it. Lack of experience will not prevail come November, DNC picked the wrong nominee, plain and simple

@ LIZ –

If people vote against Obama because of overzealous supporters, then one would question whether they were going to vote for Obama in the first place. I'm so tired of seeing posts of people complaining about Obama supporters being negative and causing people to vote against him. At best that is a very juvenile approach – and likely only an excuse to not vote for him for other reasons. We should be voting FOR the candidate not AGAINST their supporters. And for that matter all of the candidates have "over the top" supporters. Doesn't mean that the candidates condone the behavior. These are people hiding behine the anonymity of computers on stupid blogs! Geesh!

Honour & respect for the Clintons?

Let's follow Obama's and Clinton's model of reconciliation.
Enough bickering among Democrats!
Enough pettiness!
McBush is our common adversary.
Let's unite and win in November.

Sir Obama you are so gracious, God Bless You and your beautiful family. Well done I cant wait when you are the President.

Obama's rabid supporters are his worst enemies. They do more to hurt him than the right wing political attack machine ever could. There will be no unity without respect– that's a fact. Get hold of yourselves Obamaphiles, if you care at all about your candidate.

I just have to say that it's not the "negative Obama" supporters that are ruining the democratic party.

It's the bitter, rabid Clinton supporters (who are actually thinking of voting for McBush) that are really weakening our party and could mess it up for everyone in November!

For the life of me, I'll never understand why someone who wants universal health care, better education, an exit strategy in Iraq, equal rights for everyone, women's right to choose, etc. would actually vote for John McCain.

It seems as though there are some that really need to reflect on what's important.

Once again, Obama takes the highest possible road.

Don't hate the man because of what you feel about his supporters. None of this venom, none of it came from him. He ran a more balanced campaign, driven by very dedicated competent people. It's not his fault that Clinton's campaign ignored caucus states, and caused her to come up a little short.

No McCain in the fall. For any democrat, that would be a disaster. Think of your children.

I think every person who votes for senator McCain should also have to enlist to fight for the war in Iraq. I for one would love to see all of the armchair keyboard patriots put some substance to their vote! Stand by your Candidate!

When Hillary Clinton nimbly offered congratulations to Senator Obama at her election night rallys, her supporters would rudely start booing. And Hillary would just stand there silently and not tell them to stop.

Oh well, the nomination battle is done with, and we should put it behind us and work towards getting the Republicans out of the White House.

I was there and I heard his remarks and I heard the booing.
The fact is, Governor Granholm is not very popular in Michigan right now, because there is a view that she could have done more about the depressed economy in the state.

And this is the world headquarters of the UAW. That union has been decimated by what has happened to manufacturing in the U.S., and specifically the Automobile industry.

It is also felt that Granholm and Carl Levin, did a lot to contribute to the mess in Michigan that prevented people from voting for Obama and Edwards in the first place. Just because the delegate issue is resolved doesn't make the feelings go away.

Hillary and Bill are rightly blamed for NAFTA. It is a reality in Michigan. A fact. And it is based on what they did. They both campaigned very actively for NAFTA. The people aren't stupid. They might have to hold their noses and put up with Hillary, but most of them are frankly, very glad she is out of it.

I sincerely hope he does not make the mistake of chosing her for VP. I found his comments a little too effusive. For example, I think his two daughters have a very effective role model in their own mother. They'd be better off emulating Michele then Hillary.

There is some mistaken notion that without Hillary, Obama will lose the women's vote. That could not be further from the truth! They are flocking to him. With an alternative like John McCain, they'd have to!
And McCain could chose the ghost of Bela Abzug for his VP and it still wouldn't matter. No one wants McCain in the White House. Especially not women.

I would take Hillary up on her pledge to support him and I would use her very very specifically in Pennsylvania, in Ohio, and in West Virginia. I would send her to Florida, too. He can use her a bit in South Dakota and in Indiana, but really he will be fine. Especially if he picks a great running mate and if Edwards and Gore really do campaign their hearts out for him.

This is a joke, right? The idea that Obama defended Clinton? I watched the speech and all I got from it was Obama giving himself strokes for having *killed the beast*, as is his true impression of Clinton.

Obama is *NOT* praising Clinton. You're fooling yourself if that is what you think. Obama is saying "Look people, see how powerful and knowledgeable Clinton is, but see how I won, and it doesn't matter how I won! That makes *ME* all the more powerful! Praise *ME*!"

Wake up from the smoke and mirrors. Quit the Koolaid!

I'm waiting to watch how embittered Clinton supporters spin this to be 'condescdending' from Barack the 'elitist'.

Those bitter people…nothing will satisfy them…nothing!

There have definaltey been negative supporters on both sides – it's really time to move on people.

Our country is going down the tubes quick and all people can think about is who said what to whom….it's sad.

DEMOCRATS 08′

Barack Obama is the role model and visionary leader this country has needed for years! He remained positive towards Clinton throughout the primaries…. only a true leader can take the "road less traveled"!

Obama 2008-2016!

If Mr. Obama can completment Senator Clinton, why can't his followers do the same? Now we know who REALLY is dividing the democratic party

Clinton supporters STAND united…
We know what happened… the bullies, the thugs and they still show their leftist extreme bahavior.

UNITE… McCain '08 for Clinton '12

So humble and yet so powerful.

FYI: Obama threw the kitchen sink at HC, also. Where were you during the primary? Oh, you probably had your head in the sand who heard or saw no evil regarding OB's tactics. Agree! I have never witness such mean bloggers as the Obama's bloggers. I have been in total shock at their behavior.

I think it's admirable of Obama to applaud Clinton's run. At the same time, the ball is in his court, so why not?

Obama supporters: Get over it! If you insult Clinton supporters they may well stay home in November. Obama knows this, which is why he is going out of his way to praise Sen. Clinton. You are undermining his efforts to unify the party! GET OVER IT.

Hillary never stopped anyone from booing Obama…

Hey, I thought she was going to campaign for Obama just as hard as she would herself? Isnt that what she said?

WHERE IS HILLARY?!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

she was lying the whole time.

Obama/anyone but Hillary 08

Obama makes me proud to be an American because of the high road he's taken in this election process. It's even more inspiring when others in foreign countries are rooting for him because he'll change the landscape that the Bush administration has managed to wreck. Even though Hilary threw the kitchen sink at him, McCain will do the same even though he "claims" he'll not run a negative campaign; although we've seen the ground work laid for one! It not only looks like America is ready for CHANGE; but the WORLD in general! Go OBAMA!l

I thought Obama and his bots are supposed to be ABOVE the old time politics-sounds like the same old stuff-if he's such a role model than do as your savoir is doing-play nice

Liz is right-you bots keep pushing and more and more HRC supporters are going to go the other way-orsome may not even vote-and if we've learned anything from the last 2 pres. elections is that "every vote counts!"

Why the anger bots???? Let go and let the chips fall where they may. Fester, Fester, Fester-rot, rot, rot!

These Obama supporters booing Clinton are acting like they can win the election single-handedly. Let us see if they will still be booing in November. I hope that Hillary would stay home and not campaign for Obama.

Let's all just cool it here. Women will soon enough know that voting for McCain is so NOT in their interests. I am a woman, over 60 and a strong supporter of Obama. I also had moments of furiously saying I would not vote for Hillary, but knew in my heart that I just could not turn my back on my VALUES (which are her values) as well as his.
Soon enough she will come out and support the Democratic ticket. Let's give her some time to relax and get her wind. She has had a long, hard 17 months and is, human, afterall. IF our candidate can give her respect and room to refresh, it's the least we can do.

Every McCain supporter should also have to register to go fight for their country in Iraq. Stand by your candidate and his policy. I for one would love to see all of these armchair keyboard warriors put some substance in their vote!

Really? The people of Detroit booed Hillary Clinton? The same people who elected the scandal-ridden Kwame Kilpatrick as mayor, not once but twice, booed Hillary Clinton? I think that Hillary Clinton can probably add that to her list of accomplishments.

The people of Detroit couldn't pick a worthwhile leader if their jobs depended on it…of course, they don't have jobs, so maybe that point is moot, but you get my drift…

I have never heard anyone so full of it in my life. That man doesn't mean a word he says. It's truly sickening to witness this hypocrisy.

Wow, HM, what are the colors like on your planet?

Oh LIZ, people like you were just looking for a reason to vote against Barack. Did you really want the first women president to be Hilary? I would rather it be a lady who got in on her own, not because of her husband. GO BARACK!

Even in victory, Obama shows more honor and respect for Clinton then she did for him in defeat. Obama truly is the candidate of the future. Who knows, if he does an excellent job from 2008 to 2016, maybe we should consider keeping him as King Obama until about 2040.

OBAMA 2008!!!

Sorry Barack, I respect you but….Clinton is trash. She is a liar and a theif. She is more of a crook than Nixon.

Ya? Well we still don't want CLINTONS as VP…..

Once again from the comments that were placed before me……that is a prime example of why the democratic campaign is falling apart……….. too much negativity!!!!

McCain will have this presidency…all because of the negative supporters……..

Yesterday, Al Gore stood in Michigan and said “Take it from me, elections matter.” Well, who better than Michiganders to know that selections matter?

We watched what happened as a result of George W. Bush being selected president of the United States in 2000, and we’re watching now what is happening as a result of Barack Obama being selected the nominee of the Democratic Party in 2008.

Elections do matter, Al.

And so do selections that are imposed on the people.
You should know that better than anyone.

Selected leaders turn into tyrants, plain and simple.

Barack Obama: Selected, not elected.

We're taking our party back. Count on it.

Puma Democrat

People want change so badly that they are will to believe the stadium oratory of a man (OBAMA) who does not know how to govern, is a closet racist, and blames all our woes on specific groups of people. I remember learning in school about a leader who was a great stadium orator, who didn't know how to govern, who was an open raciist, and who blamed all his countries woes on a specific group of people. His name was Hitler.

Ever gracious…Too bad the Clintons didn't show the same graciousness when it came to referring to Obama.

He's not stupid! He understands that it is important that he defend her if he wants our votes (her supporters). All I need to hear is one negative word about her from him or one of his supporters to cast my vote elsewhere or not at all.

Maybe all of you Obama supporters should start taking a cue from your leader. Divisiveness and mean-spiritedness is not the way to bring everybody together. Just because you don't like the way Clinton supporters treated Obama doesn't mean you should act the same way. I thought Obama supporters were supposed to be above the usual politics…

A little to late, and he is no JFK, his wife is certainly no Jackie. Put Hillary on the ticket and I might believe you. even tho she has cracked the ceiling but women are still under it. So thanks for nothing. McCain 08 and Clinton 2012.

Obama is right to defend Clinton she did break down a huge barrier for women. But can we just stop mentioning her name that way there will be no booing, thus no defense necessary. We all respect what she did but this election is not about her so moving on….Al Gore was great last night. Hope to see him stumping for Obama.

The Ticket should be Obama – Hillary

Please, it's called pandering. Only now is saying anything nice about Hillary because he is trying to get her 18 million votes. He's going to have to work a little harder than that!

Typical of Obama supporters and the reason that a new ABC poll shows that 25% of Clinton supporters will vote McCain while 13% will vote other or stay home. That tallies to 38% of Clinton supporters, at least, who do not support Obama. I am one of that 38%.
PUMA!!

Get serious, Liz. Look at all the comments above yours and realize just how horrible the Clinton supporters have been. Check out Hillaryis44.org for more info…need I say more?

Ridiculous.

Obama acts like a seasoned statesman. I think Hillary supporters need to take a strong look at him even though I understand they are still a little hurt.

I think if you look past the rethoric on both sides, you will see a man that can truly bring about change.

Independently minded

That's awesome, I really wish people on these blogs could unite as well.

Our country has gone to crap and people will vote for McCain – who has no plans to get us out of this mess.

McCain votes twice against the Hurricane Katrina probe to see how it was handled.

McCain votes against equal pay for women and supports overturning roe vs. wade

McCain votes against the new GI bill to support troops returning home.

How can we say this man fights for most Americans? I can't!
Obama 08′

This is why I love Barack Obama, he always speaks so highly about Hillary Clinton, everywhere he goes. He is such a fine and smart man .

Obama '08

More rude behavior from nasty obama supporters. You people can't even get behind your candidates message to stop attacking hillary and her supporters.

Change? I think not.

Submit to Obama and his nutty followers, or else you are a racist, uneducated bigot.

Please. Take that commie garbage to the curb, along with all your disrespectful followers.

NO SOCIALISM.

There are hard feelings on all sides .The trick here is how to handle the message OBAMA DID IT IN THE RIGHT WAY.

Thank you Obama.

BO supporters need to realize that they've only one the first round. Without the 18 million Hillary supporters behind him, the fall is going to be much tougher. If they, BO supporters, continue to vilify Hillary it will turn many of her supporters to McCain.

Obama has consistently taken the high road with respect to Clinton this entire Election season– I hope the Hillary die-hards who sometimes post so outrageously will see this clearer.

We are a stronger party (and country) when United– and everybody needs to be involved. We need every vote this Fall! — Let's turn this country around together with a landslide victory, and bury John McCain and George W. Bush where they belong– in the Past.

WILL DEFINITELY ONLY VOTE FOR HILLARY IN 2012 !!!

ABSOLUTELY NO OBAMA !!

Another clear reason why a Hillary Clinton supporter like myself and others will not be voting for Barack Obama.

The concession speech was ten days ago and they are still trashing her. These people are just sick, no other word describes their behavior.

Goodbye Obama and the far left, hello John McCain – a moderate like myself.

Good for Obama to call-out those who were booing. I only wish Hillary Clinton would do the same when she speaks Obamas name and hears boos. Several times watching her speak, this has happened and she never calls them out, only smiles and continues her speech. C'mon Hillary where are you!!?? You need to do some damage control and get your down with Obama supporters back on the Democratic bandwagon.

It doesn't surprise me that Obama supporters react this way. Take a look at the comments on CNN. Obama supports claim to want unity in the party yet do nothing but absolutely hate bash Hillary with every word out of their mouth. The division in this race comes down to the supporters of the candidates. NO, voting for a republican to teach a lesson isn't right, and I certainly hope people are smarter than that, but to constantly bash everything Hillary does, when so many of us are better off for what she has done in her life simply turns me off of Obama. Obama, please keep on preaching your respect for Hillary. Your divisive supporters need some help on the issue of respect.

Clearly Obama was raised in a household that valued respect and honor.

"He compared Republican criticism that Obama is unexperienced and naïve to Nixon's attacks on John Kennedy in 1960."

- Funny, the same criticism of inexperience was leveled at Bush eight years ago. And I think Kennedy was used in defense then too.

I guess the more things change, the more they stay the same

After destroying both Senator Clinton and President Clinton's reputations in the 2008 primary campaign, Obama's campaign machine is suddenly praising Senator Clinton?

All of the boos in his audience came from the same people who still believe OJ Simpson is innocent.

I don't care what happens between now and November. For the first time in my life, I will vote for a Republican: John McCain.

Yeah, Obama supporters ruin everything. Like the Clinton campaign, for example.

Well, I'll laugh when Obama gets defeated in the general… then cry when I realize it means another four years of Bush politics.

People need to stop all this bickering. Booing does nothing to help to Senator Obama nor the Democrats. The Michagan governor is a Clinton supporter. Senator Obama won the nomination and now she's working to ensure her state stays blue.

Democrats need to come together. If you didn't support Senator Clinton, that's fine and your right. But as Senator Obama stated, she deserves respect for what she has accomplished. It is time to move on and stop all this craziness.

Oh, Mr. Obama – you are so transparent.

Let me be perfectly clear, PERFECTLY CLEAR. You want all the Clinton supporters to support you! Isn't that what you meant to say? Forget it buddy. You treated her like crap, and then questioned her motives for questioning you. This is one Clinton supporter who won't be supporting you. You are too green, too naive, too inexperienced to handle the mess that Mr. Bush is leaving. Move over! The DNC and media have rammed you down our throats and I won't stand for it. McCain? Is that you knocking? I hear you!

There are hard feelings on all sides .The trick here is how to handle the message OBAMA DID IT IN THE RIGHT WAY.

He is absolutely right. He'd be smart to add her to the team. Let's see how big his ego really is.

Sounds like a Red Sox and Yankees rivarly. But the numbers don't show it. Clinton supporters are for Obama

Senator Clinton does not need defending by Obama or anyone else. Her record stand for itself.

Let them keep on booing and disrespecting her as they did us, that's a fine way to keep us stewing until D-day in November when we will stay at home.

Gore does not get him my vote.

Who cares about Obama's experience?

While engulfed in his campaign of "Change", people failed to notice that this guy's whole team is full of washington insiders. Blah blah blah, its all more of the same.

The main point should be, Obama is a socialist who wants to tax the rich and redistribute that wealth to the poor, lazy people who need the government because they won't man up and do things for themselves. They are too busy being a "victim".

He wants to destroy our economy to save the fricken polar bears (by the way, do you know that the polar bears would rip you limb from limb and eat you?… it would be one big red polar bear when it was finished with you)

Obama is a bolshevik and he will never get my vote.

Your just trying to get people to vote for you. McCain 08

I have a whole new respect for Senator Obama. His defense of Senator Clinton is what I call true integrity….and I am a Clinton supporter.

Funny… Hillary is still getting boos! And, from MI… go figure!

Go Obama! Thanks Al Gore and welcome to the team!

This is so pathetic. The media has been going on about how the Clinton supporters are poor losers and look at this crowd. It just proves once more the kind of support Obama has. Clinton should have been our nominee anyway. It is not like she lost by much. Anyway, Obama's supporters at this rally are disrespectful at best and jerks at their worse.

I'm sure there is some way the Obama haters will spin this as disrespectful to Hillary Clinton, somehow. *sigh*

It doesn't matter who endorses Obama or how many "unity rallies" he has. There are millions of us moderate Democrats out there who will NOT vote for him.

About time!! And b/c of Obama supporters being so negative….They are pushing Clinton supprters the other way. Negative obama supperters are ruining the democratic debate for presidency!!!!!!

Hope you all are happy now!

What a true leader? Respect and Honor. Spoken like a true role model.

Hmm… Obama defends Clinton when his supporters boo her. That's
more than you can say about when her supporters booed him at her endorsement speech, and on the night of the final primaries…

It's a shame the praise isn't reciprocated from the Clinton Camp to the Obama Camp.

I'm seeing Hillary in Republican ads and they are NOT the kind of support one would expect from a Democrat.

She needs to say something to let folks know how she really feels, and it's time NOW.

So let them show their displeasure. We all should still be upset with Granholm for being part of the group, including Levin for disenfranchising us in Michigan. While I support the party, and will vote for any democratic nominee, I will never support Granholm even if she's eligible for another term. Such poor judgement and partisanship does not deserve loyalty.

This is another example of why Senator Obama will be our President.

The problem is that Clinton threw the 'kitchen sink' @ Obama and his followers are going to have a hard time forgiving her. She didn't care about the damage it would do to him or the party and now she is despised by all except for Obama who has been publicly gracious in spite of the fact that she deserves to be a political exile.

Obama you are too generous over HRC. Thats is why God is shining his light on you.

NO WEAPON FORMED AGAINST OBAMA WILL PROSPER.

some people on the blogs are so hateful, unbeleivable. You need to take it easy. All these politicians are friends, they will settle just like dust and what happens to hate filled bloggers? You may develop sickness from so much hate.

take it Easy its politics!

And she's worthy of becoming President of the United States.

Thank you barack.

How dare any American citizen have the audacity to boo the experience and expetise of Hillary Clinton and the authority she holds on Capitol Hill! Let them support OBAMA and we will end up with a worse mess than what President Bush has created and all these uninformed, unintellectual supporters will live to regreat the day they gave our country away to Muslim, black power nation supporters

Al Gore. No brains, no courage, no backbone. He endorsement is meaningless, as was his time as VP.

Obama has NO CLUE as to what he is doing. I find it amazing that people have become so irate at Bush that they are willing to flush the nation down the toilet by voting for someone so unqualified for the office.

Truely a sad time for America.
