To the delegate for Hillary Clinton

I'm over protective over Hillary & Bill. Obama disrespected Bill by calling him a racist and Hillary by saying she's Annie Oakley. Let's not forget Michelle saying Hillary can't take care of her household.

This is all a ploy by the media to continue selling news. How sad. I had never witnesses such unprofessionalism in my lifetime by them like I did this election season. I lost all respect for those who claim to be the best in reporting facts. This agenda to dog the Clintons is going to come back and kick you in the – - -!

The public needs to realize that the Clintons are the biggest load of dead weight that the Democrats will ever experience. If they had left the White House and never been heard from again, America would be happy and remember them fondly.

BUT, at this point in time, the Clintons are just like a bad case of crabs... Yes, a good time was had once, but they're just something nasty that needs to go away!

Bill, Barack thinks he knows everything and if he doesn't, he pretends like he does. At least McCain admits he doesn't know everything. Please say No to Nobama before our healthcare system is forever destroyed.

Poor Clinton. Shame on certain news channels for the way they projected Bill because they were biased towards NObama.

I travel widely around the world and Clinton is one of the very few leaders highly regarded and respected world wide.

Don't even compare NObama to Bill.

You still think that the Clinton's are out of the picture, or that Obama is an 'outsider' who will bring 'change?' Look at these never-ending secretive meetings! Obama is becoming just a facade for yet another Clinton term. He'll be a puppet to the old democratic establishment. Vote Ron Paul! Change you can TRUST in!

Despite everything, the Clintons have done some great deeds. Obama, use them, don't, whatever, you'll be fine. As to the supporters saying "Bring on McCain", since you guys want to join the losing side, that's fine, McCain can have you. You guys are no different than previous elections, you choose which side you want to be on, you made your choice, we Obama supporters made ours. Those that are still upset about the injustice with Hillary, move on, the world keeps turning whether you want it to or not. Oh, last thing, I hear complaints about these are the best 2 candidates for President, but I don't see a rush of applicants running for the job. I think anyone who wants to take on the job should be given a lot of credit whether you agree with them or not. Although McCain is not my choice, but I do give respect for his services and he's trying to make some effort to help resolve this issues. Whether he succeed or not will see, "IF" he makes it to the White House but I'm putting my cards on Obama!

I agree with Obama that Bill Clinton was the best president we have had in years. I also agree with him that he needs Bill Clinton to try to get the "WHITEY" vote as Obama and his crew like to call us. But on the other hand I think that Obama and his friends and the democrat leadership went to far. I feel that people like me or in the John McCain column even though I can't stand the idiot. John McCain is the best of the two idiots we are stuck with.

Obama supporter during the primaries: 'Bill Clinton is a racist who destroyed the democratic party and caused all sorts of problems as president, etc. (insert more republican talking points about Clinton here) Clinton and Obama have nothing in common.'
Obama supporter now: 'The republicans don't have a prayer in November because we have Clinton, the last great president of America on board with us. He brought prosperity to America. Look at how Obama is just like him!'

Bill don't do it.!! Let the DNC and the superdelegates see that they picked out a looser. What an idiot ,asking you to campaign for him, now he realizes that he cannot win on his own and is using you. Hillary do not accept the VP position, you certainly don't need NOBAMA!

If the Clintons are really ready to support Barack, the first item on my list of things to do......would be........

GET THE PUMA. PAC, TOGETHER WITH ALL OF THE OTHER SIDESHOWS TO DISBAND!

Okay folks, what do you think the chances of this happening is?
These disgusting PUMAS are Hillary's strongest supporters, therefore if they really BELIEVE IN HILLARY you would think that Hillary SHOULD BE ABLE TO MAKE THIS HAPPEN. However, are you folks going to hold your breath waiting?

Hillary and Bill Clinton, are the hope for our nation. The left wing media, and the super dummies have made an insurmountable, inexplicable error for which our nation will now pay. The Clinton's are doing what they have to do to remain viable in the eyes of the DNC, and to recoupe some of their campaign obligations. Otherwise, I feel quite certain you would not see either of them doing anything to support such a pathetic candidate for President, especially with our country in the dire straights it is now in. We have a pathetic old man, and an experienced black man wanna be to choose from. I choose Hill and Bill...I'll be writing them in. No other vote can save our Nation. I hope the rest of you wake up. They successfully repaired the damage of Bush 1...what better qualifications do you people want or need? It's a no brainer if you think about it! Wake Up! Barack Hussein Obama, would make a great leader for his chosen people...not for the most multi ethical nation on earth. Hill and Bill '08 WE KNOW THEY CAN!

Will the REAL DEMOCRATS please stand up. I am getting tired reading "fake democrats" posts (read between the lines - SCARED REPUBLICANS) saying "I am writing in Hillary Clinton" or "I am a Democrat voting for McCain." Most of us don't care WHO you vote for. What will be in November will be, but until then...get a life...for God's sake.

How hypocritical of Obama. He had every black surrogate of his out there calling Clinton (both of them) racists and he even sent out an advertisement with Bill Clinton's record on it as President criticizing him for losing house and senate seats. The Clintons will do what is expected of them as strong members of the Party and I respect them much more than I can or will ever respect Obama for wht he did to them.

I would limit Pres. Clinton's support to TV spots in designated regional and local markets. Definitely no personal appearances on the campaign trail. Instead, I would urge the apparent VP short-list candidates – like Hillary, Bayh, Richardson, Biden, Sebelius, McAskil, Napolitano, Edwards – to address their particular constituencies and supplement Barack's mainstream messages, which would also be an added test of their VP potentials and loyalties.

Better safe than sorry!

The primaries were a two way street. Everyone dished out dirt. I have respect for the ones who join together to clean it up. Let's get over it and put together a team that can make a difference. I applaud Obama and the Clintons for wanting to clean things up and move on. We need change and we need them to help it come about.

I know Senator O has to do what he thinks is best, but I
wish Hill/Bill would go away and leave him alone. If you
saw the ads that the NRBA are running against him, and
these words are coming out of Hill/Bill mouths it a shame.

I don't like them and after this I never will. She praised
McCain and trashed him and these words are coming back
to haught him. They both should be ashamed of themselves.

It takes a Con Man to know a Con Man. If you do your homework look at Obama's history and voting record, he never found a tax he didn't like or a big government handout he wouldn't support. Slick Willie looks like a conservative next to this Lib.

This article only tells us Obama's opinion of the phone conversation, and we all know how honest HE is. He was saying Bill was endorsing him when a spokesman of Clinton's made a pretty impersonal statement from him, which obviously wasn't an "endorsement" or Obama wouldn't be hounding him for more. I hope Bill doesn't make a public endorsement. Bill has every right to be mad at Obama, and he and Hillary owe him NOTHING. I agree that they should distance themselves from his train-wreck of a campaign so they can be fresh in August when Hillary is elected as the nominee.

Bill Clinton is nothing if not the consummate politician. He won't be "First Man" and can clearly see that the role left to him is that of mentor. He's smart enough to play that role to the hilt...
