CNN

All that tells me is that we are electing racist people to congress and you question michelle obamas love for this country.

Dear Billiam the Kid:

McCain told Ellen Degenerous he would walk her down the isle.

I hope Bill does not support him, Obama tried to ruin his life-long Civil Rights record. It was dirty pool...

Democrat for McCain

P.S. I hope McCain picks Clinton as his running mate!

SO? It has ALWAYS been that way and it is the same for both parties. It seems like this is a story pushed only to make it APPEAR like Obama is different or weaker than candiates of the past.

he will win, with or without them Obama 08

OBAMA HAD CLOSE TO 18 MILLION VOTER WHO WILL NOT VOTE FOR HILLARY.

Well, just maybe those House Democrats have half a brain after all. I guess for the next election the DNC will have to select a more obedient crop of House candidates to support their DNC selected presidential candidate.

OBAMA HAD CLOSE TO 18 MILLIONS PEOPLE VOTE FOR HIM AND THEY WILL NOT VOTE FOR HILLARY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

IF YOU ARE RESPONSIBLE AMERICAN, HOWEVER YOU ARE:

PLEASE NO, NO OBAMA ; AT LEAST FOR NOW!!!!

HE NEED TO EARN IT!!!

I don't trust McCain after I heard about that he could be a national security threat by being a POW. I wouldn't trust him if he weren't a POW.

CNN, you are cowards, afraid of the truth.

How about the juvinile Obama's favorite book? Potter!!!!!!!!!!!!

I would say so and the majority of the latinos better listen to us we do not support obama and who is saying we do they are not telling the truth because of one poll that indicated this but it is not what i hear on the ground !

Daniel Wagle, if you believe all of that, just go ahead and vote for McCain, lets see how far your gay rights go then.......

who cares, not a big deal

And they really thought it could be a runaway train...200 years and the country is still learning. Good Lord!

Marc,

He appeals to you too. Stop lying and keep it real.

hilary just thought playing the sexist card would push her ahead she thought she could fool the dnc she's been a victim of sexism all these years but now its when she finally decides to speak up about it

I can't support a Marxist coup. I can't support Obama.

that is really sad that they would feel that way.

Dem der good ole boys ain't goin to vote no brother if der life depended on it. So, come January we will see them beg when their districts need help from Obama. You close the door on me so it will be closed to you. Payback is a what?
That is how I would be but Obama is not that type of guy and many of them are lucky. In a few years their people will vote them out for not supporting Obama. Their people will question their judgement.
Obama08 with or without you.

To Shannon and David,
Where are you seeing the Washington Post story on Obama and the Prime Minister of Iraq. I checked both the Post and MSNBC's websites and could find nothing on this story. Are you guys spreading lies?

As a North Carolina Democrat, I will not support any North Carolina member of Congress who endorses Obama. Obama is too liberal, changes his tune with the political winds, says what is expedient at the time, and will lead to higher taxes, higher prices, joblessness, inflation, and the list keeps going. America deserves better, and North Carolina Democrats in Congress need to consider their roots before they jump on board with this opportunist.

Unlike Hillary, Barack only has one shot. So he's got to win in November.

Let's go Democrats–yes we can!!!!!

Obama 08

I'm glad Hillary's gone, now on to John McSame. We will, we will Barack you.

YEAH

Obama 08

Obama is not a person that can be trusted! Shame on his dirty campain and trasting the Hillary. The democrat's had thier big chance two years ago when they took control of the Congress and did nothing but sit on the cans. Now we inherent a lier like Obama. I think our dying country can't have Obama in the White House. I will be voting for McCain.

I am tentatively supporting Obama since he says he supports gay rights. However, he may not mean this, given how he didn't really mean he would pull out troops from Iraq or Nafta, etc. The black church has an ignominious history of homophobia as well as anti-semitism, which by the way, also makes his "support" of Israel questionable.

For years, the Democratic party has always enbraced the nominee, what is the difference this time?

OBAMA 08 FULL SPEED TO THE WHITE HOUSE
POWER TO THE PEOPLE

YES WE CAN WRITE IN HILLARY FOR PRESIDENT.

These districts would not have supported Hillary either; they are so conservative (and backwards) that Bill Clinton is seen as a great evil. There are parts of America that it would be better without (defined by much of the "Old South" where Jim Crow still lives, albeit in the closet).

Kennedy, Kerry and Richardson all went against their constitutents. Kennedy, with his cancer, probably won't have to worry about re-election but Kerry and Richardson should. this whole election has been awry. Race or racist is mentioned on every blog, it is so sad.

Something is fishy about Obama and i'm still undecided. He has absolutely done nothing to win over Hillary supporters. Saying she's was a great leader just proved my point, she was better qualified then him. He makes it worst everytime he prises her.

Politicians generally do whats best for them and their voters. However, those decocrats that decide not to support Obama should not expect any favors if Obama wins.

OBAMA IS TALKING TO THE PRIME MINISTER OF IRAC?
SCARY!

I keep reading, but I don't see in fabric in a lot of these comments. Hatefulness doesn't solve a thing.
McCain is a senator in my state and we'll be surprised if he can carry it. He's using tired arguments.

I simply don't grasp the inherent contradiction in the trinity of being a Democrat, voting according to the wishes of your constituency, and representing a Republican leaning district. What comes out of this conundrum is the following outcry: Why are you a Democrat ?

the time for change has come. get over it you obama haters

I AGREE WITH DEBBIE ABOVE!

Why is this even an issue?
Of course elected officials are going to consider their constituencies when they decide on endorsements.
Never the less, the number of Dems who won't endorse Obama will be very small. He's proving to be quite a popular guy.

If they are an elected Democrat...I am 100% confident that their constituents already knew this about them. Endorsing a candidate has nothing to do with how you vote. Some people are more worried about being re-elected than doing the right thing....this is always true.

BEWARE THE REPUBLICANS ARE BUSY TODAY ON HERE WITH THEIR MAKE BELIEVE DEMOCRAT COMMENTS………………………MCBUSH NEED YOUR HELP, HIM CAN’T REMEMBER WHAT HE OWE YOU FOR EACH COMMENTS TODAY..................

ONE QUESTION? IS THIS THE SAME TYPE OF BULL-- THAT HILLARY WOULD HAVE BEEN SUBJECTED TO BY HER OWN PARTY?

hmmmmm.....sounds fishy:

Just what do you expect any president to do about souring gas? Even if they started drilling today offshore, it would be a couple of years before we started to see benefits from it.

And you might want to drop the race card.

How about this: I think you are racist because you didn't vote for Hillary because she is white. I think you are sexist because you didn't vote for her because she's a woman. Your argument is plain ignorance.

How has Obama run a dirty campaign? I haven't seen anything that would suggest that.

HAMAS for obama or brother will bring us to POWER

You don't think perhaps that Iraq guy might lie about that conversation to derail Obama's campaign just to keep a Republican in office who would for the next 100 years keep sending BILLIONS to that god forsaken country and their politicians?????? Beats working for a living!!!

My problem with Obama has nothing to do with his race. While there are no doubt racists who won't vote for him, there are also plenty of Democrats with fully justifiable reasons for not voting for the disingenuous empty-suit. Many, like myself, would not hesitate to vote for a qualified black candidate. Heck, I would have voted for Barbara Jordan for president 30 years ago! So, please, enough with the divisive accusation that unless you vote for Obama, you're a racist. That's a stupid, insulting, untruthful, and desperate thing to say.

I find it hypocritical and cowardly that he will not publicly endorse Sen. Obama but will willingly admit that he'll vote for him.

How does this prove ANYTHING to your constituents?

Well Mr obsma enjoy the campaigne because you will not win the general election. Polls don't tell the real numbers . Hillary supports will be taking there votes to Mccain because DNC has no respect for hillary or her supporters.

Shame on you for expecting the Clintons to support the very people who stabbed them in the back and sacrificed them... just to pander to African Americans who threatened to black out the vote... and the newbies who threatened to stay home.

Stealing a nomination is not the same as winning it.

The people know hwat happened.

There are AT LEAST 16 GOP house members who have stated they will not endorse John McCain....And yet CNN has constantly refused to post that story. CNN and the rest of the MSM clearly has a bias against Obama.

Any house Democrat not supporting Obama....IS SMART!

Democrat cowards. So what else is new?

well God Bless them Barak will just repay the Favor in a Few Years when they are riding his NUTS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I will never ever vote for obama. He is as dirty as they come. Hopefully more will wise up.
PUMA

The Clintons should politely recuse themselves....

After all....you spent millions over the past months demonizing ALL things Clinton.

The greatest president of my lifetime.

And a true woman warrior for all Americans.

TRASHED AND BASHED AND SABOTAGED BY THEIR OWN PARTY SO THAT THE LEFT WINGER SOCIALIST OBAMA COULD BE ANNOINTED KING OF THE LAND.

Why are those people who can't endorse, vote with the party even running as Democrats.
AND Shannon that story was really OLD about 5 months ago. New cool aid for you to drink and be hateful. BTW that story was proved to be WRONG.

You mean there are some
house democrats trhat will stand with their constituents? Did I really read that correctly?

I applaud them. their people will appreciate them. On the other hand, those that went against the wishes of their people should be voted OUT.

I don't trust Obama after I heard about the farm bill he voted for. I wouldn't trust him if I were them.

That's good.
We all should think independently.

young black man for Obama..........Hoooooooahhhh........it is funny how cowards act when the tables are turning on them..........all you racist need to get over his blackness......and see his policy......or gas will be 10 dollars a gallon next summer

Mr Hope and change, Mr I want to unite the country, what a bunch of crap. This guy is as dirty as they come. Ask the women in their head scarfs if they are feeling the unity. Hope and change....LOL
Anyone but Obama!

I hope President Clinton turns his back on the party that betrayed him and Ms. Clinton. This will go down in history as the worst political coup in this country. The DNC soldout Ms Clinton. WE ALL KNOW THAT.

Thank God for some decent Democrats that will not support Obama simply because the party tells them to do it. Some of these Democrats come from very conservative districts and will face the wrath of their constituents after the election. Even Gov. Richardson will face the consequences come time for his re-election.

We the American Patriots are keeping notes on all the elected officials jumping on the Obama bandwagon.

I wouldn't vote for OBAMA if he was the only one running. There's something, I just can't put my finger on it. Well, remember one thing,
"Becareful what you wish for!"

As an Obama supporter,
I hate to say it, but reality is reality. Some of these folks in Congress know that therere are members in their districts that still feel Senator Obama somehow "stole" away Senator Clinton's coronoation. That's not true, but I also know that perception is reality to a lot of people. Especially emotionally charged people.

So, some recognizing their positon, and not wanting to endanger their ability to get re-elected will not "endorse" Obama. But none of them, and I mean NONE of these representatives, will be endorsing Senator McCain. They are Democrats and they'll tow the party line just up to the point it upsets the apple cart. But, by then, Obama will have the 23 states he needs to wrap up the Presidency.

Good for them. This is a Representative Republic. They should always vote the way the majority of the people they represent desire. Too bad, more often then not, almost all of them (Rep or Dem) vote party line. That is why they never get anything accomplished.

I can not in good faith vote for a man that is not qualified for the position and who the media and the DNC have tried to shove down my throat. JUSTSAYNODEAL.COM
JUSTSAYNODEAL.COM
JUSTSAYNODEAL.COM

yeh...sure...
Only those who are against ridiculousness–and prefer not to wander down the path to a socialist state.

Likely conservative white males–who will surely be labeled as racist–despite the clearly wierd and untested agenda of Obama.

Hey–come join the rest of us who are tired of people like this running our country.

Libertarian 2008
Barr/Root

Got common sense? You do not have to vote for the best of the worst!!!!

I guess everyone needs to be forced to support Obama to create the desired image.

Never has a candidate had to force people to endorse him.

Many of us are sick and tired of the Obama manipulations to get his way and to give the appearence of strength.

Anyone trashed and bashed by the Obama bandwagon of unity by hatred and division, should vote against such tactics. Otherwise Obama's race-card playing, lying, cheating ways will become the norm for future elections.

Washington Post is reporting that Obama is lying about pulling the troops out. They said he told the Prime Minister of Iraq not to listen to what he says in public. The Prime Minister confirmed this to MSNBC.
CNN IS THIS TRUE?
PLS INFORM THE PUBLIC THE TRUTH, WE DO NOT NEED YOUR OPINIONS JUST GIVE US THE FACTS.

Clintons supporters who will vote for McCain are morons. Don't you think we won't remember this when Hillary runs again. If you don't support Barack now, we won't support Hillary later. Trust me on that.

I am quite sure we all know that every single person in this country will not be voting for Obama so why do you all make a big deal out of who will or won't vote for him. Do you know how many people will not be voting for McCain? I know one-me.

that says a lot about Obama

PUPPET LEADER your just that a PUPPET!! what u stated is so untrue and you know it....LMAO!!!

I think the politicians in their congressional districts need to be more concerned with NOT taking a step to vote for change...the American people are fed up with everything...it's an across the board change that is going on (local, state and national) ..not for just the President....

They won't endorse but they will vote for him come November. That's all that matters!

Any of them with half a brain. We need a President not a "slick talking empty suit". This guy's got nothing to offer in the way of achievements.

I honestly believe one less person will die if Barack is president. Wouldn't it be great if that one person turned into ten people, then one hundred people, then one thousand people.

Yes, America if I can save one life, Barack will get my vote. And I don't know anyone personally in the war, but as far as I'm concerned they are all my children.

Barack the Vote 08

Shannon June 19th, 2008 5:39 pm ET

Nice lie. You are the reason why he set up that new smear website. He never said any of that. The whole thing is on tape which includes no of what you just said you idiot. You must also be the NAFTA "leaker".

Politics is politics.

Please read carefully what Clyburn is saying instead of running off half cocked because he is right. House democrats must hold their seats and it is imperative they listen to their constituents. That doesn't necessary mean they won't support Obama. Further, the dirty comments are posted by Republicans who want us to think negative when it works the same way in the Republican party.

Booga, Booga, Booga! Liberal, Liberal, Liberal! The reactionary republican mantra never changes and never means anything. Just don't waste your time asking what substantive policies or positions are "liberal" vs what are "conservative". They don't have a clue what they mean or what they think, because they don't think at all. It's all hate and fear. Booga, Booga, Booga! Liberal, Liberal, Liberal!

This is America and we think differently. There will be people, even Democrats who won't vote for Obama. It's life–let's move on.

My vote will be cast for him because I believe he's the best thing that's happened to politics since, well since John Kennedy. He's a Democrat, he's a visionary, and he's got guts beyond belief. He beat the Clinton machine and then handed Hillary an olive branch. I really like this man, and I'm in love with America because our country is giving him a chance.

Yes, we definitely can. If I'm dreaming, I don't want to wake up.

Obama 08, 12......yeah!

Down with Obama,

What's this PUMA Democrat for McCain stuff? Is this some radical group for seniors? Help me out here.

Still for Hill.

Only for Hill.

You stole the nomination by trashing the good woman.

Obama is just a liar and is NO rookie to dirty politics.

He defines dirty as illegal- I define it as unethical and crooked and manipulative.

Technically he breaks no Laws... but he sure crosses the line of integrity and ethical behavior.

You all have done enough damage to the democratic party by fixing the primary and giving it to Obama.

HRC was the most qualified and the DNC and party elites savaged her and sacrificed her... just for the chance to install the puppet Obama.

Anything to pander to the newbies and AAs.

Who wants to belong to such a party? We need a third party. The NEW democrats are socialist left wingers. Us old democrats are stuck with no real choice.

Down with Obama: It is clear that your beef with Obama is personal, not based on policy. Your inference that any supporter of Obama needs to "go down" is indicative of a bigger problem that you have. I hope you can come to grips with it before November.

So they're going to support McCain? Once Clinton suspended her campaign, they were all free to make their decision. They no longer have to support their districts' candidate if that candidate is no longer running.

"Other member of congress" are afraid to endorse Obama because they are afraid the people in their state wont vote for them because
they are republicans who voted democrate last election. And that makes sense.

McCain is so unelectable. He will lose in Nov by the largest margin in our political history. Just watch. It can happen no other way.

I love how every supposedly "old" or "white" or "female" person feels they have to identify themselves to try and drum up support for Obama, although I know they're faking. "58 old white ladies for OBAMA" : you sure don't talk like an older woman, you sound more like a punk kid. Quit trying to fool people into believing his support is cross-race/gender/generational. It isn't. His appeal is to low income blacks, idealistic/naive college kids, and wealthy folks who don't care about gas prices.

Remember 18 million people supported Senator Clinton and AT LEAST half of those will NEVER vote for Obama...

Obama is becoming more and more like everything he PROMISED not to be... Remember the whole "Politics as Usual" speeches? What a JOKE that has turned out to be...

He lost my vote.

So What? Politicians making a political calculation? No news here. Move along, nothing to see here.

I think these folks will become shocked when they find Barack is more fiscally conservative than many. More militarily conservative than many. He is clearly a socially liberal politician in terms of voting, but he is not on the left fringe as some would argue.

He wants the interests of the have-nots to be part of the equation and that is seen as ultra-liberal at this point in our politics.

Obama is part of the whats in it for me generation and has never known what sacrafice really is so why should a conservative democrat support the most liberal senator for president. His generation has had everything handed to it. No wonder they want a European Socialism/Welfare State for America. They would be lost if they were held responsible for their own lives and actions.

Wolf,
This is a very transparent and lame attempt to keep the "party's not unified" story going.

Where's the news Wolf? Many GOP congressmen aren't backing McCain either. This happens every single presidential election for both democrats and republicans. There has not been one candidate on either side in the last 50 years that had the backing of their entire elected congress. Maybe you should've added that little tidbit since CNN is supposed to be "independent".

Wolf,
This is a very transparent and lame ttempt to keep the "party's not unified" story going.

> A lot of Democrats were forced into endorsing Obama- but they saw
>what was happening….

Try picking up a newspaper sometime. Maybe then you would have an original thought rather than sprouting off talking points from your good friends at Faux News.

when yoda speaks people listen.

Who cares?

There were some GOP members of Congress in 2004, like Lincoln Chafee, who refused to support George W Bush.

in other words-be concerned that they will not be re-elected.....losing support of their constituents. I see.

BTW, thank you 2012.

No Democrat should be expected to endorse if they do not believe in Obama. The DNC clearly does not know what party unity is-the Clintons should also stay home. Obama used smear tactics to inspire hatred and animosity. The Clintons are loyal to this country and, I am sure, realize that Obama is the worst kind of politician. The Clintons do not owe anything to the Democratic Party or to Obama. Maybe they can forgive Obama and the DNC but I can certainly understand if they cannot.

today is June 19, The african americans in texas are celebrating hisorical freedom. Now only if were actually free from racism..............

Members of congress, such as Dan Boren of Oklahoma and others who opt out of supporting the negro-caucasian candidate for president will feel the rath of people like Clyburn, Rangel, Kennedy, Piglosi and a multitude of oyhers that are adament about electing that useless lap dog that they controll. GOOD LUCK!
Some of us have other plans.

Cowards

It's unfortunate that some Democrat leaders have a problem with Obama mainly,with his "Race". Some Democrats are in the same boat as Republicans. Will the real Democratic leaders stand up.

One white old lady for McCain!
Hooooahhhhh!

McCain did not vote for George Bush but he won nonetheless.

Obama 08

I agree with those, who districts did not vote for Obama to cast their votes the way their districts voted. That is understandable and will not be held against them. But it will not matter, because Obama will be President anyway.

As far as Bill Clinton is concerned, I wouldn't want him. The way he mistreated Hilliary. He was really happy she did not win, because they had agreed to a divorce if she didn't and agreed to stay married if she did.

Now he has other fish to fry and it does not include Hillary or the Democratic Party.

Obama is a puppet.

The dirtiest politician ever.

I will never vote for this pandering hypocritical opportunist.

Can't this guy just go away? He's partly to blame for fanning the flames during the primary. We don't need him out there telling us how other people are thinking.

I agree with Concerned Independent in CT. Cowardly, but logical.

Why would their constituents want republicans in any form, the house, the senate or as president? That baffles me. They, the repubs are lawless, anti christian and evil and could care less about them.

Bid deal....

You all already succeeded in installing him as the party nominee.

He lied, cheated, played the race-card, attacked HRC, blocked the vote in Mi and Fl..... and still you all turned the other way and gave him the nomination.

The democrats went against their own party ideals of equality and fair elections.

That's fine, they don't have to endorse him, it's a free country. I just hope that people vote on substance, not who has the most endorsements.

I hope they don't. The Washington Post is reporting that Obama is lying about pulling the troops out. They said he told the Prime Minister of Iraq not to listen to what he says in public. The Prime Minister confirmed this to MSNBC. Wow, what a deal we are getting with this guy. Promise anything to get elected, but once you're in you can do what you want. I hope the people who voted for this guy are proud!

A lot of Democrats were forced into endorsing Obama- but they saw what was happening....
Obama is the master of dirty politics.

He lets his team do all the dirty work while he pretends he is not involved in it.

Yeah... right.

Obama is a pompous egotistical liar.

I hope Bill doesn't give them an ounce of help. Obama is going to fall flat on his face in November!! YEAH!!!

PUMA DEMOCRAT voting for John McCain!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Defeat all incumbents (including Mr. Kerry) that changed to Obama!!!!!!!!!!!!!

THESE MAY BE SOME OF THE PEOPLE THAT VOTED BUSH IN.

AND ARE LOOKING FORWARD TO $10.00 GAS.

WE CAN'T BLAME THESE FOLKS. THEY LIKE PAIN.

PLENTY OF IT TO COME, IF MCBUSH ELECTED.

Well of course some wont, you knmow the ones that have to get re-elected in racist districts.

That's OK

Watch the landslide this november boys.

HEY, IT IS WHAT IT IS.

SOME WOULD PREFER A GERIATRIC VERSION OF BUSH.

AND IF THEY DON'T WAKE UP, THEY MIGHT GET IT.

Its not a big deal, I understand them. I actually think its a good idea, we will need a majority in the house to get real change anyway......

Who cares not every GOP member endorsed McWar either!

I'm not sure about you... but I see some good here... Aren't Politicians supposed to somewhat act for those they represent?

It's cowardly... but logical...

-V

Yes, and those than went against their districts to endorse Obama, better be looking over their shoulders come November too.

And life goes on.......so does Obama.
