BRIAN IN KNOXVILLE

god bless you AND WE DON'T HAVE TO ACCEPT AN OPOLIGE BECAUSE YOU OWE US NOTHING
YOU ROCK BROTHER

If Clinton is on the agenda, he should stand firm, and have absolutely nothing to do with it.

I don't see anything wrong with Senator Obama meeting with both groups. Senator Obama is running an election and when elected he will be President to all people.

I am a republican, I mean an angry Hillarys supporter. Obam will lose in Nov. Yeah that's right fellow Dems. He has no chance.

Lol! Craig, Fox would love to hear from you. I'm no Fox fan either. Again above the submit button you have the policy. I guess they love original thinkers like me who give it to them in the gut whereas people like you Craig ' kick'em in the butt ' softly.

Michigan voter, now you are making me laugh. When Carter was President Michigan had strong automotive sector, jobs were created instead being shipped overseas. Carters problem was he allowed himself to weak internationally. If I cannot get a job to feed my children then I would not care what the President looks like. A strong President is nothing if his people are suffering. And, incase you did not notice Michigan has been turned into a economic wastseland. McCain and the republicans have sent your jobs to China.

Right now, I would think that Michigan would welcome Jimmy Carter with open arms.

I find it funny that so many people are so quick to say "Obama won't debate McCain in a town hall meeting." "What is he afraid of?"

I read just after the last time McCain's people sent a request that they actually have on already scheduled for July 5.

I say this all the time, do you research people.

Obama '08

Denise P Quinton ................................................................
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

Denise ........................YOU are not in Charge .............IT'S OK TO BOO Senator Obama and Thumb downs ............I am against the HATEFUL behavior regardless of who is on the receiving end. GROW UP !!!!!!!

What kind of people vote for McCain.

I forgot racist people.

OBAMA done nothing wrong to HILLARY .

Why HILLARY supporters will vote McCain its RACIST.

OBAMA 08 HILLARY 2016

Obama will promise everyone, everything!!!

He will say what he needs to say, and do what he needs to do, to get elected... IF elected, he will do what he wants to do, and throw everyone under the bus!

That's the Obama way!!!

To ,Ula Nejad
I find it amusing that you would use the term culture war. People that use that term hate fact that people with a name such yours are here to begin with. Sounds like you have been watching FOX News lately. If those folks get their way and said culture should ensue people like you and I are in trouble.

I really wonder why some of these people think we care who they vote for or if they vote. If they want to stay at home, please do so. In reality each of us has a vote. No one's vote counts anymore than mine. In spite of all the negative comments posted, almost ALL polls predict that Sen. Obama will win. I am not going to join those begging anyone to support Sen. Obama. I think reason and common sense(which is not always common) will prevail in the end.

has anyone checked why BO, never had any opponents as a state sen. the oldest polictical trick in the book get their campain petitions nullified then they can't run sounds like BO has learned to game the system run against a woman, cry race , sounds like old politics in a slick package the internet intelligencia picked you BO, you are not ready to lead just game the system, thats not going to work on the real world they won't feel race guilt you can't bring " peace in our time", your not ready, I think we let the best candidate slip through our fingers, BO, you better get her on the ticket or your polictial scam will in the end fall up against the real world SLICK !!!!!

God Bless you Sen. Obama. All your supporters will surround you and watch your back from all the poisoned arrows being shot at you. You will overcome and be the best president, bar none.

Latinos will not vote for him...Like me! I did my research I don't want another 4 years of Jimmy Carter!

Some White people make me laugh. I say some bewcuse I have white freinds that understand the history of our country. We should not have groups that define themselves by race or ethnicity, ala. black, hispanic, asian but we do. It is because of our history of intollerance and hatered that these groups exsist.

For the better part of two hunderd or so years white people got preferential treatment over people of colorsimply because they were white. So, people of color had for thier own groups such as schools and unions. We have come a long way as nation and we will be stronger for it. Whats so funny now is some whites believe that racism is gone and these groups are no longer needed. If only that were true.

To the poster that said people of Mexican decent will not support Obama. I say go right ahead and support McCain, your fellow McCain supporters would love nothing more than to see all Mexicans deported and they would not even ask if you were here legally.

WOOPS BILL I MEANT TO SAY SHOT HER THE BIRD...

To the no names who responded to my comments. This is whats great about this country, if they don't like what you say or type in they delete it. So far CNN thinks it okay. I didn't think it would hit some raw nerves pretending to defend the republicans. I call it like it see it and enyoying the challenge of exposing the unseen. Sometimes I wonder why the US are falling behind in math and science.

Jeff, as to an example of how obama mistreated hilary during campain. HE DISCRETLY SHOT HER AND BILL ON SEPERATE OCCASIONS IN FRONT OF MILLIONS. LAUGHED ABOUT IT AND HIS SUPPORTERS HAD A GREAT LAUGH. LOOK IT UP UTUBE IT! THATS ONE REASON, NEED MORE...

"Character Content Examination June 17th, 2008 2:26 pm ET

Ever wonder why there isn't a Congressional White Caucus???

Oh yeah, that would be racist."
There was one. It was just called Congress, or the Contenental Congress for about 200yrs. Now the Senate has one, it's called the Republican Caucus.

Hopefully the CBC won't push the Hillary issue. I'd like to be a fly on both walls of the CBC and the HC. I think this is a good move. in order to reach all the people you got meet with everyone to have them all on board in regards to the issues at hand.

Debbie,NJ – "There has always been a congressional White caucus. They were the ones who had slaves and had Martin Luther King and the Kennedys murdered.."

This is the best you could do???

a) I've never owned a slave and you've never been a slave.

b) John Kennedy was killed by a communist with mental problems (how was race part of this and what did Congress have to do with it?)

c) Robert Kennedy was killed by a Palistinian because of Kennedy's support for Isreal during the 6-day war (again, nothing to do with race or Congress)

d) Yes, King was killed by a white guy who swears some guy named Raoul made him do it (I'm not sure where Congress comes in on this one either) but at least race was a factor here

Not even 1 out of 4...

Brian, Knoxville Tn:
Now, what a true character of a REAL MAN!!! I hope the money was good...Must admit you did your job well....Thanks for being true to who you really are!!! A DEMOCRAT!!!

TOGETHER, YES WE CAN!!!!!

AND WE WILL!!!!

Now he wants to meet with the black caucus? I remember during the campain when HC was the only candidate who went to New Orleans to meet with them. She took time out of her shedule and Obama didnt. That says it all to me. This whole election one big sorry excuse for a Dem party.

I don't think a presidential candidate has to be a war hero but he shouldn't have terrorist friends on his speed dial.

President Obama built a house around that "KITCHEN SINK" Hillary threw at him. I'm sure the Republicans will be throwing the bathroom sink and tub at him.. But as smooth as he his, he will build a Jacuzzi around those too... He got that "SWAGGA" !!!!
"Brush Them Haters Off" Mr. President...
Hee Hee...

DO NOT PICK HILLLARY.. and don't let her supporters or these Rush Dumbo supporters bully you in to picking someone like her. She lied on you, to you, about you and even lied on her poor daughter.. (chelsea was not jogging around the WTC when it was attacked), and she was not named after a famous person (who was not even famous when she was born), and she did support NAFTA (tried so hard to tie President Obama to NAFTA), and it was not a right wing conspiracy on Bill (he really did have se%ual relations with those women). She did everything in he power to bash President Obama and make him unelectable. She DOES NOT DESERVE to be his VP. And for all of you who want to vote for Mccain, please do so.. I hope your nephew or cousin, or family member is not eventually drafted for His and George's war....

mama coo – they HAD a place in this country at one time. Name one organization in this country that excludes blacks.

The fact of the matter is that many universities turn away more qualified whites and Asians so that they can have "diversity". Do you think that is fair to the whites and Asians who worked hard but were denied entry because of their color?

Google Jian Li sues Princeton. This kid had a perfect SAT score and was denied admission to Princeton while blacks and Hispanics with lesser qualifications were admitted.

Obama used old school Chicago politics to run uncontested for the state legislature. He forced both of his opponents (one weak and one strong) out of the race with some shady loopholes.

Google it. The press in chicago did a story on it and it's not too flatering as you get a lot of 'no comments' from his should be supporters.

It's called CONGRESS!

Hey, I have an idea. Let's have White History Month. Let's set aside all twelve months. That oughta do it!

"Ula Nejad- Sacramento Ca June 17th, 2008 2:16 pm ET

Obama got a free run for the State Senate in 1996 UNCONTESTED. He got to the US Senate from the 13th district of Islam. Now he makes a free run again for the highest office in the land. Are we deaf and blind now? Who is responsible for this agent for radical change from the left? US must be on alert for a Culture War within that could change America forever."

Congratulations!

You've just proven once and for all that ignorance really IS bliss!!

Obama meeting with the Congressional Black Caucus? What news. Is Obama afraid they are going to support McCain? LOL. The CBC won't even meet with McCain by telephone. I'd love to see the pictures coming out of Obama's meeting.
Obama – McKinney '08

Here we go again about Hispanic voter going to Obama not true. Patie Solis does not speak for all Puerto Rican people. I said before Puerto Rican people are Dem but they will not support OBAMA. Trust me all my Puertorican Nation will not vote for OBAMA. They will vote for Hillary Clinton but not for Obama even if she on OBAMA VP they will still not vote for OBAMA. Remember Puerto Rico Primary he lost to Hillart by 40 points. Puerto Rican people loves Hillary not OBAMA. Puerto Rican will vote this year to John McCain. Hillary 2012 The Bronx, Spanish Harlem Hispanic 's will vote for McCain not Obama!!!!! Hispanic don't like OBAMA

Obama makes me cringe. Inexperienced, poor resume, friends with criminals and terrorists, unpatriotic wife, cocaine habit (when did he go to rehab?), racist and supporter of Trinity and Rev. Wright. Sudden move of DNC to Chicago, which was probably planned for long time because it was bought $$. Sneaky, cocky, arrogant, elitist. Is this really what we want as POTUS? Americans beware!

Good ol' boy at heart, that has to be the single most idiotic post I've seen in a long, long time. How does CNN post that and close down relevant posts? Is it the humor factor? It's not even remotely relevant to the topic.

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.

"Raymond Duke June 17th, 2008 2:50 pm ET

You wish we were republican plants. Keep on dreaming. Rodney Dangerfiield played in a movie "Back to School" . When the teacher asked where they wher going to put the business, Rodney replied "fantasy land.. Does that answer your question. I got a question for all you white people who is supporting Obama. How can you vote for a man who has called you names , a wife who has made unpatriotic staements along with friends of his and somebody that hates america. If you don't mind being called "WHITEY' BITTER, RELIGIOUS NUTS . Be my guest vote for him and his crowd of anti-american friends that some are even terriost."
------------------
Most white people are intelligent enough to do their own research and discover that these are just false smears.

Most white people are intelligent enough to look beyond skin color when choosing a president.

Most white people have taken the time to get to know people of different races and ethnicities, only to discover that they are just like them.

It seems obvious to me that you're not one of them.

I suppose that in another 2 or 3 hundred thousand years, your kind might evolve to become a bit higher on the food chain.

Until then, have fun with all those microorganisms!

Go Obama!

Stephanie Tubbs-Jones is probably shaking in her boots. If I were Obama, I'd make her sit in the back of the room, along with Maxine Waters, Clyburn, and others.

Obama is unelectable. He will never win the GE.
People have begun to realize what a phony no nothing he is. He has BS's his way into the fray and now is a stuttering, stammering fool.
Must make the DNC ashamed they spent so much time and money on him. Makes me cringe and I will never vote for him.

For heaven sakes, Hillary has lost. In January the nomination was hers to lose. And she done just that. "Kitchen sink" and all, she lost. Now on with new business. All this 'Reagon Democrats" and "PUMA Democrats" are all white voters that want to hang on to the "good ole days". You don't here blacks say they are this or they are that, they just vote their cause. History will show you that every President that blacks didn't support drove this country into a recession. Vote the way blacks vote, and you can't go wrong. Peace

There's something about that Obama guy I can relate to.

To poster above - Bill from Florida...

Obama gets to run his campaign as Mc Cain!

McCain had months to travel our country and get his name out there.

Why should Obama meet any of Mc Cain's demands?

The last town hall meeting Mc Cain had - it was FIXED or STACKED!
In other words... they were all supporters of Mc Cain!!! What a dirty trick!!!

Obama doesn't need to stand next to Mc Cain to get media coverage if you noticed yesterday that Obama and Gore stood on stage of a crowd of 20,000 in MI!

Mc Cain knows if Obama agrees to a townhall meeting that there would be national news coverage...

Also... Mc Cain is trying to chop up on Obama's time since Obama will be campaigning in 50 states!

Obama has nothing to fear regarding Mc Cain..

He should run his campaign his way and not agree to 10 townhall meetings... that would be 1 townhall meeting a week! Too much!

Go Bam! Time for change!

So what if you don't like him. Who do you think really cares? I don't see you in his position-maybe you should be a "Repug"!

Raymond Duke. You are stupid. It is one thing to make comments based on facts. All you are showing here is your own racism. You don't speak for all whites. Obama does not have all of the black vote. Hillary had them at first until her true colors came out. Vote for McCain. Maybe he'll draft your stupid behind,

Obama is the best person for WH.I didnt know much about his wiseness and charm till i actually listened to his the other day on TV.Yes, for a change i actually listened to someone.Must say he has some real good plans for this country.His univeral health care might actually help me afford medicines(I have been suffering from PTSD since my return from Afganistan).I am sorry i have been such a Dhead all this time.Vote democratic.Vote Obama !
Obama 08-16 !

character content examination there is a Black Caucus, Black Colleges, and many other Black organizations because Whites would not allow Blacks to participate in the white like organizations. SO, rather than just sit back and be excluded, Blacks participated in their own. What is racist is pretending that these organizations have no place in this country.

Character Content Examination. There has always been a congressional White caucus. They were the ones who had slaves and had Martin Luther King and the Kennedys murdered..

Change/change/change

Folks, please don't buy into this lame slogan.
It's a fairy tale, an empty promise. Might even be a nightmare.

Lots of politicians have used the "change" slogan.
It's nothing new. Heck, even Casto used the "change" slogan.

Now, don't get rattled; I am not comparing Obama to Castro.

I am just saying that the "change" slogan doesn't mean anything new or promising; it is just a slogan to get votes and support.

Don't be fooled.

You are a good man Prez. Obama.

Clinton supporters are really confusing me. I can't see where you are coming from. Please, as an Obama supporter, I want to know what your biggest grievance is. I don't recall any of these divisive actions, but I acknowledge that I have a certain level of bias. I want to hear what was so bad about the primary season. Please tell me, so we can at least start to mend the fences. Even if you don't support Obama in 08, it is important that we at least start working towards unity. If we don't, this will keep happening, and we will slowly watch whats left of OUR country (your's AND mine), fall apart. If you think that Hill will be the nominee of the party in 2012, what do you think the fate of the party will be if we don't start mending our wounds? I would love to see all the Clinton supporters vote for Obama, but that really isn't as important as bringing the party together. Lets at least take the first step and start talking about what we deemed as "unfair"

Obama 08

For the life of me, it is hard to understand "what" the Hillary supporters really want.

When this primary started, everyone, including Hillary knew and understood the "rules"– only the delegate votes matter.

Ofcourse, Hillary started with BIG advantages:
-Name recogntion (very high)
-DEM resources, including superdel votes (very high)
-Optimism by the DEM party for a caandidate (very high for Hillary)

Each candidate, including Edwards, Biden, Richardson and so on, was given the "opportunity" to make their case to the voters.

–In the middle, Hillary tried to change several rules, including call for the "popular vots" (something that has NEVER been done) etc.

The facts remain: Hillary LOST all the resources she started out with! Who is to blame here- Obama, DNC, the other 19 million voters?

The primary is about the PARTY, not a single person. This attitude must change or the DEMS, as in the past, will see defeat and defeat now and in the years to come. You think the Republicans, as they run the nation, will listen to these "bitter" DEM voters? Wake up people!

Bill From Florida, Obama is not going to be bullied into a town hall meeting. He is not going to let Mccain set his agenda for him as Hillary found out. He will debate when he is ready and he will hold the stupid town hall meeting when he is ready. Now, there's your answer.. What next you idiot!
OBAMA '08

to CHARACTER CONTENT EXAMINATION:

there is a congressional white caucus, it's call the Congress and Senate

TO good ole boy from TN. i am from TN also. this state voted for Bush overwhelmingly. (NOT ME) so it is absolutely funny to hear you complaining about gas prices.

you voted for it and will do the same trying to get that senile mcbush in office. try to put race aside and think, it really does wonders for the brain...

Yes we can! Go get em' Bam!

We are fired up and need a change!

We are ready to beat John McCain!!!

Obama hasn't had a town hall meeting with McCain because Obama is in arenas confronting the American people on the important issues, as if you haven't noticed.

McCain's time will come soon [good luck to McCain on that one].

Obama is smooth . The one thing he did was when he said :you're likable enough Hillary". It was the way he said it and how he acted when he said it. That was when I began to look at him in a different light. Obama says and does things with an arrogance about him that turns people off. His campaign team does his dirty work for him. There was a concerted effort to make Hillary and Bill seem racist and Obama didn't stop that but contributed to it by his comments. Obama allows people to say things then comes out disavowing it taking the high road. Problem is that the damage has already been done.

Michelle Obama and her comment about voting for Hillary Clinton didn't help either.

The Black population of America have been voting for white candidates from the time they where first allowed to vote. They never had a choice, outside of Jesse Jackson. I just can't understand this race thing. It's a disgrace !!
I'm a white middle-aged woman voting for Sen. Obama, and I'm proud to do so !!

Brian in Knoxville, TN – Thank you for your honesty if this is true. But I wouldn't put anything past people in this country anymore. I forgive you and may God keep you and present you faultless.

I just pray that God would continue to protect Sen. Obama it seems as if all odds continues to stake up against him the more he try to do the right thing. But I am certain of this that no man can close the doors to that which God has opened to Obama. Why is it that when people try to good in this country we want to destroy it because it does not come in the package we expect for it to have come in? I believe long as a person is trying to help all mankind it shouldn’t matter where he/she comes from or what his/her color is or what their sex may be. I really hope that this country will make a drastic change for the better; I am so tired of division and animosity among the American people, My god what a great change we need in this country.

Ula Nejad- Sacramento Ca:
You call this extensive grueling primary race a free ride? What planet do you live on and your comment about Islam shows you for what you are, a fear mongering, hate filled, sad person.

Bill From Florida:
McCain has been all alone in this race for 4 months crying for media attention. Obama just wrapped up the Democratic primary. Obama will set his own agenda, he has a house to clean and prepare before he engages McCain and will not be bullied into letting McCain set the pace.

Lastly enough of the comments about all the Obama supporters treating the Clinton supporters poorly. I'm going to start copying and pasting all the Clinton supporters calling Obama supporters jerks, morons and worse. Face it there are immature individuals on both sides and if you base your vote on what random anonymous people on the Internet say about you, then you have my pity.

78% of the people say we are on the wrong path and McCain is the same path!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

TO.....Ula Nejad- Sacramento Ca June 17th, 2008 2:16 pm ET
Obama got a free run for the State Senate in 1996 UNCONTESTED.
----------------------------
As I read your comment above, I try to figure out how you think Obama is getting a free ride for the highest office in the land. You really need to get facts and not fiction straight...first of all Obama campaigned HARD, he worked HARD, he made himself available to voters who Clinton and McCain didn't think were important, he visited small towns that Clinton stated they didn't matter, his camp was well organized, he made sure he made his camp feel involved as a voter, he was smart enough to create a web site that informed up to date information to the voters.

I don't understand how you all keep bringing up he became the State Senate in 1996 uncontested, What's wrong with that, I'm sure if you were running for office, you would have excepted this senator seat also, unless you think we would believe you would have turned it down…..we know….NO…... If you want to go back to 1996, I do believe if you want to target what occurred with Obama during this time, you really should research The Clintons baggage, I do believe you will have so much information to be upset about, you would have to ask CNN, can you use your own comment blog.

"War is an ugly thing, but not the ugliest of things. The decayed and degraded state of moral and patriotic feeling which thinks that nothing is worth war is much worse. The person who has nothing for which he is willing to fight, nothing which is more important than his own personal safety, is a miserable creature and has no chance of being free unless made and kept so by the exertions of better men than himself."

John Stuart Mill (1806 – 1873)

While he is holding all these meetings I wonder when he will hold a meeting for the committee on Afganistan he heads?

If this man goes to the bathroom, CNN will report it. The media darling is again getting a free ride.

Hispanics or at least Americans of Mexican descent will not support this candidate. He can meet with the Hispanic caucus all day long and that will not get him a single vote from me or my extended family in 5 states. We do not trust him or his agenda.

McCain 08.

It's amazing some of the comments people leave without being able to give the source of their information.

Ula Nejad Sacramento Ca. (reguarding Obama)"He got to the US Senate from the 13th district of Islam"
What the hell are you talking about ?

Bill From Florida- "Why won't Obama have a townhall meeting with McCain?"
Well Bill, don't be in such a hurry it will happen, and when it does LOOK OUT MCBUSH !!

Attention to all Democrate, this is very important observation from a powerful reliable sources, most republicans had adopted a policy from their strongest surrogates like Rush Limbaugh known as "MASK HIT MEN,I am going to expose how they really operate which has been working for them very effectively, there are two groups in every blg existed in the cable networks, one group acting as Clintons supporters talk as many negative as they can think of and they would always make sure they direct the real Clintons supporters to vote for mccain, the other groups act as Obama supporters who continue to bash Clintons supporters and even threaten that their votes were not wellcome, this tactics was design to make it almost impossible to unite the both supporters and finally delivered clintons voters to republican,it seems to be working quite well,I promise you by next week, their covers would be blown piece by piece. I DARE CNN moderators to post this comments, I have seen a great job their so called moderators were doing by unposting so many postive comments but rather choose bunch of ill,foul,divisive and negative comments to be posted, big shame on you moderators, what a stand up guy or whatever you called yourself.

Obama’s foreign policy of Appeasment to dictators, Criminal law approach to terrorism, and policy based on UN mandate could make him the Western worlds worst foreign policy leader since the not-so-great Neville Chamberlain.
Obama’s Ecomonic policies of Punishing success and the American capitalist way of life, Tax-Tax-and Tax again the populace to resitribute wealth makes him the greatest proponent of Marxism since Karl himself.
Americans will deserve the catastrophe he brings us if they are ignorant enough to vote him. The only real positive being that he would be removed from the state of Illinois (where I live) which will hopefully limit the local damage he has wreaked upon our economy as a state legislator and now US Senator.
Vote Obama – LONG LIVE SOCIALISM

________________________________________________

Does anyone really want to stand alongside this person, whatever their name really is? Saying that Obama "He got to the US Senate from the 13th district of Islam" or calling him an "agent for radical change from the left" is simply lucacris. I'm glad I won't be joining people like this in voting for McCain.

However, I do hope we are able to effect change from within that will move us back toward GOVERNMENT OF THE PEOPLE, BY THE PEOPLE, AND FOR THE PEOPLE and away from the self-distructive course were are currently on.

Before you Hillary supports start going off on how you won't vote for Obama and all you Obama supporters start talking about where you want Hillary and Bill to go, keep this in mind.

CNN wants you guys to fight. They want you to be interested. I wouldn't doubt if they even have bloggers that say things to spark a little fire.

Here's a simple suggestion for all of you. Until September/October, STOP BLOGGING. They (CNN) need viewership online just as much as they do on TV. Maybe your absence will finally make them realize that unless they actually report "real" news and stop trying to insight a riot within Democrats and between Democrats and Republicans, you will no longer read or respond to their garbage.

You wish we were republican plants. Keep on dreaming. Rodney Dangerfiield played in a movie "Back to School" .

To Florida Guy: Your comment just set off a bell that makes me want to scream. My son, Master Degree from GA Tech -a proud Black American was for Hillary Clinton. Obama does not have the black vote locked up. You keep forgetting the states like OR, IA, IL, WA and HI just to name a few. There are less than15% black in each state and he won those hands down. One could go out on a limb and say Hillary had the "older votes" locked up, but I know that would not be a true statement because my son is only 35 years. So many people think "blue collar" means "white working and there are several Americans who are "blue collar and are Black, Hispanic and Asian.

Florida Guy – your true color is showing.

Keep wishing Obamatrons!!! He will lose in November!!! Mark my words sheeple!! The GOP is just waiting to unleash it's fury. Obama won't know what hit him. The dems are a sorry lot. They had this thing sewn up and blew it. LOL They deserve everything they get. Even possibly losing Roe V Wade once McCain get's the nomination.

THIS IS A THINK EXPERIMENT: if mcWar wants to keep up the war in iraq and keep us there for potentially 100 yrs, does that mean that troops are going to keep dying for the bush administration's huge scam that he pulled over the american people? does that mean that we can scam wars with no real basis for american concern and then get caught and say ooops okay we lied but troops now have to clean up the mess we made in someone elses country.

Jeff in Illinois /I believe you have it correct .
They are planted on here wearing masks and spewing all kinds of hate they sound like S.Hannity, R. Limbo ,Greta (only to name a few ) their fallowers.
By the way what is Combs doing on there how could anyone take that Hannity has to be the hate nut of a generation .
No No No No no no FOX for me .

Obama /Its Hope ,Change, Yes We Can ( Please join the greatest Obama for President movement coming in history )

Obama should do well with both these groups. He is the Dem nominee & I can't see either group going for the Repbs. they won't do anything for them. Good move for Obama.

McCain 08

Democrats- let the republicans post the "bad junk" let us stick to our guns and keep a positive eye on the White House.

The reason there aren't any Group named White Caucus is due to the fact majority of the representative positions are held by caucasions. Since there is such a gap, Latinos and African Americans created there group to help others of their kind get elected and push for the issues other representatives would not push for in those communities. Basically, to make sure their constituents are heard and taken care of. Most of us know that the caucasion representaives will take care of and make sure there constituents are heard. Not being divisive, just a realist.

I don't know why Obama would meet with the black caucaus. There is only a few that did not support him and supported a canidate that they thought was the most qualified one. The majority got on the black band wagon because he was black and the hell with who was best qualified. He will get all the black vote except for a few enlighten ones. There is nothing they have to offer him. He already has it "the black vote". Of course if you were white and didn't vote for him you were labeled a racist. I guess we should do like them and vote for our color by 92%.

Ever wonder why there isn't a Congressional White Caucus???

---------

There already is one. Up until about 50 years ago, it consisted of every member of Congress. Now, its membership is "only" about 90%.

Get a clue, Bozo.

That's right Obama, We belive you care about ALL people, you have a sincere heart toward those who treat you wrong and for us who treat you with respect. It's going to a blessing to have a President that will care about EVERYONE, we haven't had that in MANY years.....
That's right......Meet with the Congressional Black Caucus and Congressional Hispanic Caucus a chance to get to know you. Your taking care of who's IMPORTANT, all people of USA.

It strange how Hillary, her staff and other support groups have excepted Obama as our nominee, but her voting supporters are stuck in time, making threats, calling names and being down right nasty with a show of childish attitude.......

While THE CLINTONS have and continue to enjoying their MILLIONS.

HILLARY SUPPORTERS PLEASE READ:
She didn't have a chance. Face it, this country is not ready for a woman in the oval office. We still have values of the 18th century and think of all the men you know who do not respect their own mothers. Wait ten more years and tally up the ones that came from single family households... even then. Just look at Obama himself, giving credit from "Things I Learned from My Father", did he write about his MOTHER? NO. He gave an entire book to his ABSENT FATHER. Look at the choice colors the media gave the two Democrats, the color BABY BLUE was behind Clinton and Barack Obama remained a ROYAL BLUE. Hillary didn't have a chance. It is sad because it was just because she is a woman!

Obama ..........pick Hillary Clinton for vice president, and the two can pull their supporters together.........

and beat McCain!!

Obama/Clinton 08

"What We Fear About Obama June 17th, 2008 2:19 pm ET

Former CIA Director Woosley says Obama has "extremely dangerous" views on terrorism."
--------------
Correction: George Bush has extremely dangerous views on terrorism.

Remember: Bush ignored Richard Clark when he warned him about Osama Bin Laden. And guess what? 9-11 happened, that's what!

Sounds pretty dangerous to me!

The uniting Process will take time......I think that Obama is handling this transition as a leader and a uniter. Where's Sen Clinton??? Now is the time to get this process started and stop the McCain Group making issues with the Clinton Supporters. The Time of TOUGH LOVE needs to come from Hillary. It neeeds to come soon.

Dems united '08

Obama meeting with the Congressional Black Caucus? Blow me over with a feather...

hillary supporters are rude and should be banned from voting.

Sure....Obama is great1

Obama has shown to the whole world that he is the man for the job. His influence in American politics has challenged and changed the way business is done in Washington and all corners of America and the whole world.

Hello, it's me, Hillary. I would like to thank all the people who supported me throughout the campaign, but it's over now.

All you nutjobs still 'supporting' me by voting for McCain have lost your minds. You really need to get some professional help – I'm not the answer to all your problems – I'm just a politician.

Go out and form an identity of your own and try to solve your own problems for once.

I agree with Jeff of Illinois. The Repubs know the Dems have it locked up. It's sad the levels they're having to sink to–Pretending to be angry Clinton supporters. It shows you how weak their party truly is.

Democrats 08

awaiting moderation forever.........and then my post disappear.

Wonderful news. This is all I'm pemitted to say.

I think he should have done this before meeting with the Congressional Black Caucus. If for nothing else, for the perception of unity. Personally, I wish he wouldn't meet with any group that defined itself by the race of its members.

obama needs to do what's right for the country–not pander to special interests–that's what won my vote and will swing independents. the clinton and liberal supporters will see him as their best hope.

Diane; Obam is in millions of American's prayers as well! Prayers that he's NOT elected. He has no business being the next President.

Martin; you have no idea what change there would be. It's not psoitive change!!

Jeff in Illinois, A lot of the Anti-Obama hatemongers are Repugnican dogs trying to stir up trouble in these blogs between Obama and Hillary supporters and then sit back and laugh while we go at each other. The polls show that most Hillary supporters will vote for Obama despite the few that are duped by these Repugnican idiots. Not to worry, we WILL have President Obama in November.

Lets Go Dems!!!!!

Thats the way to go Obama. You are doing great!

No Hillary & No Bayh for VP Ditch Mitch

Godspeed Obama, Godspeed. You will be an excellent President. Do what you have to pull this country back from the periprice of disaster at the hands of the Repugnicans.

Just what we need from McWar, another mixed signal. Can anyone trust a word McCain says? Has he or his campaigned done their homework? Geez, we could do all the additional drilling me want and it still would not make a dent in the high gas prices we're now seeing. Couple that fact with the fact that any additional drilling would yield results only years away and you got a much too little and too late solution from McWar. Typical, the man just does not care about or begin to understand the economic implications of the supposed positions he takes.

Obama '08

May God bless and Guide you Mr. Obama our 44th president.

Ever wonder why there isn't a Congressional White Caucus???

Oh yeah, that would be racist.

Obama 08 That man is great

I am from TN and I say drill everywhere even under the White House! Just leave my guns and truck alone. These kids today get off too easy. Let em sweat a bit and earn their keep. All I know is that when gas becomes ten dollars a gallon I will get rid of at least two of my amps and subwoofers in my 4×4. That thing is a monster to fill but hey it is fun to intimidate those smaller sedans on the road. Those ol' ladies sure can yell!
McCain all the way!

ugggg. I so do not like this guy

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?

WHY WON'T OBAMA HAVE A TOWN HALL MEETING WITH

MCCAIN???? IS HE AFRAID HE WILL GET BEAT LIKE WHEN HE
HAD DEBATES WITH CLINTON> HE LOOKED LIKE A FOOL>

Obama got a free run for the State Senate in 1996 UNCONTESTED. He got to the US Senate from the 13th district of Islam. Now he makes a free run again for the highest office in the land. Are we deaf and blind now? Who is responsible for this agent for radical change from the left? US must be on alert for a Culture War within that could change America forever.

PUMA people just do it and shut up. You are like the lost soul on the bridge faking like he is going to jump when all he wants is attention. So, go ahead and take the leap and vote McSame if it will make you happy. Clinton is still begging each of her 18million folks for $I.00 to get her out of the hole but they won't do it. She lost, so get out of here and go cry to her or help her because you are not doing anyone any good on here.
Obama will win this race without you and it will be better that way so that Hillary won't get the credit for her PUMA people crossing over.
Obama08 with or without YOU.

I can't do it anymore! I can't keep selling my soul.
I admit it! I have been accepting money from the McCain campaign to repeatedly post derogatory and divisive messages about the Democractic party on this ticker. If you don't believe me, just look at my post history. Do you think anyone has the time to make hundreds of posts day-in, day-out if they weren't getting paid for it?
But I can't do it anymore. I respect my country and myself too much. I hope my fellow democrats will forgive and embrace me.
But beware…I have repented, but the GOP never will. They will continue to pay others to post as Brian Knoxville TN posing as PUMA democrat seperatists, trying their best to divide our party. Such underhanded tactics are all that they know, and they will continue to use them to full effect.
DEMS '08!

Repubs & Dems, when will we learn that the only way to fix this country is to unite. We are Americans first and foremost. Stop acting like kids and show your kids how grown ups behave.

Why bother. He has the black vote locked up. What he needs to do is to pick Clinton as his VP and lock up some support where he doesn't have it.

I keep seeing comments from people who are supposedly Hillary Clinton supporters talking about how "badly he treated her". I've been paying very close attention to the entire primary season, and I've yet to come across a single example of Hillary or her supporters being "mistreated" by Obama.

Are these simply Rove/Limbaugh plants, did I just miss something major, or do people think not-winning means not being treated fairly. I'm seriously having a hard time believing that more than 2% of Clinton supporters would be Anti-Obama. These message boards CERTAINLY are nowhere near the reality.

it's time to unite for our country americans.a change is a comin' obama '08

EXCELLENT..

Obama is in my prayers. This good man needs to be America,s next president. A new breath of fresh air as was JFK. pray to keep him safe
