CNN

No offense Dan, but you rose from the scrap heap of history to tell us this? As with most of your utterances, not too much substance to be found.

Obama beat them, then joined them. And I think making more links to the 90s and illustrating the similarities between Clinton's economics and Obamas would be a good thing. When even Quayle can clearly look at the primaries and call it as it was, it provides stark relief as to just how crazy and delusional PUMAs are.

Lighten up a bit on a real honest American and a good man for sure. Enough former VP bashing already. This really doesn't solve anything does it? We don't see Dan in the news enough. And I bet none of y'all can spell Quayle!

Dan, thanks for the advice. You were always an inspiration to me and I've modeled my career and the content of my speeches after you.

Your lightweight brother,

Barack

IF THOSE WHO PUT THE CLINTONS IN THE WHITE HOUSE HAD ANY SENSE THEY SHOULD NOW REALIZE WHAT A BUNCH OF LIAR'S AND PHONIES THE CLINTONS REALLY ARE. THE CLINTONS KNEW THAT THEIR BACKERS WOULD BELIEVE ANYTHING THEY WERE SAYING SIMPLY BECAUSE THEIR INTELLIGENCE LEVELS
WERE DECLINING QUICKLY.
THE POSTER WHO MADE THE REMARK ABOUT THE 5TH GRADE : SPELLING A WORD WRONG IS NOTHING COMPARED TO"ITS NOT SEX TO HOW I DEFINE IT" AND YOU FOOLS BELIEVED HIM.
AS FORMER VP QUALE STATES IT'S FANTASTIC THAT OBAMA KICKED THIER ARSES UP AND DOWN WASHINGTON DC. IT COULDN'T HAVE HAPPENED TO 2 MORE UNSCRUPULOUS(?)
LIARS AND PHONIES.
NOW I'M WAITING TO HEAR WHAT OBAMA WILL TELL HILILARY WHAT SHE CAN DO WITH HER PROPOSALS TO THE DEMOCRATIC SLATE. WHERE HE'S GOING TO TELL TO PUT THEM WILL BE A PLACE THE SUN DON'T SHINE ON.

I love Dan Q. Yeah he was the gaffer to beat all gaffers, including even George "Nucular" W, but he actually has a few brain cells. They did him a big disservice by not preparing him better for debates etc. As an example of other younger candidates, W, Bill C and even Obama, they had a whole primary process to work out kinks, Dan Q did not get to play in the playoffs just the finals. Although that doesn't explain 1992 very well.

I still remember Dan Quayle's remark stating he resembled Robert Redford, but he (Dan) was better looking than Robert Redford.
What a goof ball!

Hey D, spell potato?

P O T A T O!

Dancing on the Clinton's grave that is typical of a distressed republican. Republicans are such losers!

I forgot all about Dan Quayle. I agree with him completely. Obama wasn't competing against just Clinton. He was up against the entire Clinton machine. ...and although that minister did say the exact same thing about Clinton and her sense of entitlement, it is true...that was a turn off for many. I have always been an Obama supporter, but I can stomach her now that the primary season is over.

Isn't this the same idiot who could not spell POTATOES????? Who gives a flip about him? He's G.H.W.B.'s flunky!!!! IDIOT!!! That's why nobody's hear from him in ages. Go back under your rock, Quayle!!!

Heh,

No so sure "respect' from the likes of Dan Quayle is such a good thing.
I suggest Obama repudiate Quayle's remarks.

Jan – you're very wrong. Obama beat the stuffing out of the Clintons! Woo Hoo! Time to change the changemongers.

Dan's biggest problem was that he was real. He never pretended to be some polished bs filled politician.

I am with you Dan. And you are right about the reasons she lost. But did we actually get rid of the Clintons? I doubt it. You can't keep them down for long, they have a way of resurfacing. I have no respect for either of them. What a sleazy couple. And Dan, you look better as you age. Very distinguished.

Just give up already...it's not like Dan Quayle ever hurt anyone!

Wow! Candor and honesty from a politician... after 8 years of Bush jr. it sure is a welcome change. Thank you, Dan Quayle.

This guy used to be the dumbest person to every hold a public office. Then came Bush.

i'm not trying to be a spelling nazi or anything of the sort. however, i find it amazing that people who can't spell simple words like "loser" and "repeat" even have the cognitive ability required to actually be interested in politics. i figured this was an appropriate place to post this, considering it's a discussion about dan "potatoe" quayle

Dan Quayle? Dan Quayle? Dan Quayle? Where have I heard that name before?

Dan Quayle, I just need you to do one thing for me, spell "POTATO(E)". LOL!! Obama is a Japanese Monkey!!

First smart thing this guy has said in years.Love it.

I am with you Dan. And you are right about the reasons she lost. But did we actually get rid of the Clintons? I doubt it. You can't keep them down for long, they have a way of resurfacing. I have no respect for either of them. What a sleazy couple. And Dan, you look better as you age. Very distinguished.

Wow – talk about irrelevant.

Dan's right about McCain this November. And, despite Obama's own uphill battles/obstacles, polls seem to indicate that he's "the man" this country's going to elect for our next President. As Wesley recently intimated, John commands a lot of respect for what he did and went through in Vietnam as a fighter pilot. But, that skill set does not best prepare him for the job of President of the United States of America. Clearly ... he lacks a command of many important issues, such as some details pertaining to the Iraq War, and more recently to the difference between Somalia and the Sudan. Come on, folks. You want to criticize Dan, and then elect his grandpa for the job?

Wow, this guy still around? Has he learn how to spell yet?

There we go again Dan,

Obama Didn't beat anybody.

It was the voters deciding they wanted change that beat the Clinton's and will beat McCain in the coming election.

Let's give credit where credit is due. We decide, you jump. It will get worse in the future because of so many internet, educated voters. All the people needed was a communications medium to connect them together.

We want change. Woe to the politician who doesn't get this message.

Say what you will about Quayle, but I'd rather have him be the VP than the puppeteer Cheney.

He is still a lightweight; still not the brightest lightbulb glowing.

I thought he had died awhile back. How delightful to know that we can be entertained once more.

If Obama loses this election we know that reason will be because of race, yet no one wants to talk about it. It is the major deciding factor in this election. If there weren't so many racist americans out there, Obama would win this election hands down...when you look at the polls the number of Americans that actually admit to be not willing to vote for Obama is astounding. It might not be a majority, but take them away and he wins hands down. And we also all know that the moajority of folks who would not vote for Obama because he his black would not admit that, so the numbers are actually worse that it seems. Hopefully someday racist america will learn to be more tolerant and be willing to accept a black man as president. Unfortunately we might have a long time to wait to see such a day.

Dan you're were irrelevant when Daddy Bush was President and you're irrelevant now. Crawl back in to the rock you were under.

I find it humorous people become commentators on the quality of people based on whether they spell potatoe correcly or not. I'd like any of the sarcastic commentators to post their resumes versus Dan 's. We allow our media to shape our opinion of people on little teeny sound bites that have little reflection in reality. At this point in his career Obama's resume probably does not equal Dan Qualye's at the time he was a Vice presidential cabdiadate.

OBAMA'08 This is the year that will change the United States and the way we run this country.

People really need to get off the whole "entitlement" crap about Hillary Clinton. Women in this country have never been given a reason to feel entitled to anything, most of all the highest office in the country. Give me a break!

Let me see... If he's not smarter than a 5th grader, doesn't that make him about 10 times smarter than W?

Rachel, looks like you could learn a few lessons from a 5th grader, like how to spell the word 'repeat.' Be careful when you insult others' intelligence–you may end up looking stupid yourself.

The second coming of Mr. Potato(e) Head with one of his astute opinions.

All from a man who cannot spell POTATO! Obama did not beat the Clintons. It was the liberal press and turncoat superdelagates. Mrs. Clinton had the much better ideas and plans, which Obama well knows since he stole many of them. You can keep Obama and his racist wife and minister, I'm voting for John McCain now.

Smart comments from Mr. Quayle!

Dan Quayle is a perfect example of an air-head candidate picked solely on the basis of looks.

Speak for yourself Danny. I saw the Obama movement coming a long time ago and got on that train before it left the station.

Though not disagreeing... If you are going to insult Quayle, please spell correctly.

Quayle you say that Hillary thinks she was entitled to the nomination because of who she is................

Well helllllllllloooooooo McLame thinks hes entitled to be President because he was shot down from his fighter jet and was a prisoner of war.

Get a grip Obama won the nomination because hes a candidate that truly cares about the ordinary people and not big business as the republicans do.

Go Obama

This further proves that Dan Quayle is an IDIOT!

Last I heard, Obama did not beat the Clintons, he joined them!

This advice from a man who can't spell POTATOE!!!!!

I hope McCain picks Quayle.

I'm sorry – since when do we care what this man says? Think "Murphy Brown"..... I sure never read politics before coffee..makes this all the more stupid.

I find it highly amusing coyote is unable to spell "loser" correctly in response to an article about Dan Quayle.

I respect Dan Quayle comments; I don't think he was the best VP but he has throughtout his years has kept an open mind in regards to the political arena. Best wishes too the Quayle's family

I think that VP Quayle should apologize for saying that Sen. Clinton was ENTITLED since everybody else was angry because the priest said the same thing.

Oh wait a minute – no one who as ever known Barack Obama can say that, only republicans.

Rachel, Oh hush up and repeat after me. I am not smarter than a 5th grader because I can't spell repeat.

rachel that better be an intentional typo

At least he is smarter than George W.....I think.

Quayle=irrelevant. I like Obama but keep in mind, folks, Quayle is a guy who once said that he would be the next president of the United States "if God had anything to do with it."

And you're relevant, how?

And Dan???? He didn't beat the Clintons, the DNC did in another "historic" moment that their party will never live down.

An uphill battle should not concern John McCain. Team Obama considers him to be over the hill anyway.

Let's spell it together.....

P-O-T-A-T-O..................(E)

Great......a compliment from one empty suit to another.

Oh, how I miss this guy!
If only McCain selected him for VP I might consider voting for them, just for the entertainment value.

You guys are writing about Dan "It was over before it began" Quayle now??

Remember his statement to the United Negro College Fund?

"It's a terrible thing to lose one's mind. Or not to have a mind. How true that is."

'He beat the Clintons'? Let us wait until the convention before we can say that for certain. What is with all of these people who can't wait to push the Clintons out of the picture?

Wow, you people are petty and vicious. The former Vice President was interviewed and was accommodating. He didn't say anything negative about Senator Clinton or Senator Obama or the democratic party. And if must resort to questioning his intelligence (insecure democrats always do this; it is very important for them to be considered smart–because, of course, only they care), why don't you take a look at Quayle debate with his rotundity, Al Gore. Quayle killed him.

Dan, go back and continue studying the dictionary. Can you spell potato yet?

Just don't ask him to spell potato(e)

So Quayle is implying, "If you can beat Clintons, you can just walk over McCain". WOW. So time has made Quayle a very experienced man, if not smarter.

Another idiot endorsing Obama?

I guess I can name one accomplishment of Obama: He used his surrogates on CNN (Roland and Donna) to convince the Dems there would be race riots in Denver if Hillary were chosen as the nominee.

A new kind of politics? I think not. Scare tactics are more of a Republican thing.

Still voting McCain! Would rather vote Hillary!

So that is GREAT that you think your advice Dan is helpful to the ostupid camp!
Keep up the good work and come out more often.....LOL

McCain 08 or Lou Dobbs

uh oh.. he making the big mistake of telling the truth about Clinton's entitlement theory... someone will make him into a racist like they did the pastor...in 3, 2, 1........

Thanks Quayle! We really care what you think sir.

Obama '08!

He can't get over being a five star looser

Obama has done more than "beat the Clintons". Respect him for more than just that which is trivial.

Give a little respect, people, for a former vice president and U.S. Senator. Yeh, maybe he wasn't the most capable government official, and certainly he was a special interest candidate. But his comments seem sincere and modest, and not too partisan. I am sure Mr. Quayle's public comments have some substance and importance, even if most people dismiss them.

It would be good to remember that the same hatred of the right is equivocated by hatred of the left, and in this regard, no one is coming to this table with clean hands. Let the man speak.

I think they should put Quayle and Bush in a spelling bee...talk about reality tv!

Thank you Mr. Quayle for you honest comments.

Grow up!!! You lost to the Clintons get over it already.

She would have made a better president then whats running today. You all were afraid of a women being presdent.

NO – Dan – you are WRONG – as usual. Hillary Clinton WON – all the popular votes – obama STOLD the nomination – with the help of the DNC and party leaders – most of the ones from this group:

Quayle, Dodd, Kerry, Kennedy, Edwards, Richards, Gore -
didn't they ALL LOSE?????? Great endorsements for BO.

And your opinion is important because....?

Obama's doomed. Dan Quayle just predicted his victory! No!!

Hey, DAN. You should not even be allowed to make any comments

You were a looser than and you are one now. Just SHUT UP!!

Idiot. I remember being in 9th grade and my history teacher (a Republican) saying we were all smarter than Dan Quayle. He also said that this was no great compliment to us.

Who cares what he thinks. He was the beneficiary of many jokes. Wasn't he the one that could not spell potato at a school or something like that. The VP could not spell POTATO – thats all I remember about him.

Dan Quayle is the reason why the elder Bush lost his re-election.
And now the loser is happy (what else but NEGATIVE remarks from a loser) because Obama beat the Clintons !

Not that anybody should care what the dumbest vice-president in our nation's history says, but one could take the position that it was not so much as Barack winning as it was Hillary losing.

Hillary started off with a very large segment of the American populace that simply despised her and wasn't going to vote for her in any case. She then made many missteps, such as hiring Mark Penn and listening to his bad counsel, taking a "big donor" approach to fundraising that eventually left her $30 million in campaign debt and unable to effectively compete, and then a series of minor missteps such as the Tuzla fiasco that cemented her lack of credibility with those who were concerned with that issue in the first place. All this convinced the DNC leadership of what was fairly obvious - Hillary was for a variety of reasons simply unelectable.

Barack is more than just a "movement"....he is going to be the president of America....all of American, not just the democrats who like him some independents and a few republicans....but all of America. I think John McBush is overestimating his impact, over playing the so called "I got shot down and surrendered in Vietnam for 5 yrs....so I am more patriotic and would make a better president" hand, and constantly, stupidly calling Obama naive and inexperienced....Clinton tried the same play book and it really didn't help did it!

Dan who??????????????????????????????????

Lay off Hillary Clinton. She is intelligent & experienced.

Obama/Hillary

Quayle........keep your rude remarks to yourself!

Obama beat the Clinton's PLAYING DIRTY CHICAGO STYLE POLITICS...that is the kind of CHANGE OBAMa supporters voted for....GOOD-LUCK AMERICA OBAMA is souned more and more like George W Bush he also ran on Change in America and FAITH BASED POLITICS...

So!

Lets see pot????

And he can spell Potato, too!

Yes, your opion means less than nothing.......you are an insane idiot.....if thats even possible

Whatever!

Yeah Dan, but do you love him? I mean really, really love him and support him? Think his policies and views are great?

If you don't, you are branded as a racist when in actuality, you are a realist!

And how do you spell potato?

Former VP Quayle, nice to hear from you.

Good analysis on your part and here's hoping that you're right – Senator Obama wins in November.

Funny how Senator McCain kind of scoffed at your being on the ticket. Interesting that you did win the first time around, so I'm not sure what his complaint was.

I think President Bill Clinton just had a smooth way of connecting with voters, like "I feel your pain" in that southern drawl that made people think he did. I even know one Republican woman who told me point blank that if he would hook up with her, she'd vote for him. And let me tell you, she was a very nice looking woman who didn't need to go around groveling over middle-aged men. Yet, he somehow connected with her.

In that same way, as you point out, Senator Obama has helped unleash a movement of change that this country wants and needs. For that reason, he's in great contention and position to win this coming presidential election.

Well, golly Barry! You've got DAN QUAYLE on your side! I bet McCain is really WORRIED about that.

I would say that a ringing endorsement by Dan Quayle is just the ticket! One know-nothing endorsing another know-nothing. As they say, Barry, "it takes one to know one."

Who cares what you think? Americans found countless amusement from all of your stupid antics during your vice presidency.

Oh hush up Dan and reapt after me I am not smarter than a 5th grader.

It's about time someone called out Hillary for what she did wrong and acknowledged that Obama had the best campaign. I can't believe Quayle wants McCain to win after his boss' son just ruined the country and vows to continue his failed policy. McCain doesn't even try to seem like he's going to do anything differently. He might as well call his campaign slogan, "STAY THE COURSE" and if he somehow wins (which he won't) he might as well wave a "MISSION ACCOMPLISHED" banner over his celebration party and then we'll know exactly what we've voted for!

Hey Dan, where have you been? Thanks for the vote of confidence.

Because Mitt Romney only served one term as governor, does that give him enough experience to be vice president and a possible president? Barack Obama and Hilary Clinton both have just as much experience as Romney.

Speaking of republican LOSERS

All this insight from a man that can't spell Potato (e). LOL

What a j oke!

Learn how to spell the word potato.

This guy is still around?!?!?!?!

My goodness, former VP thoughts are interesting. Maybe he'll cross the party line and vote for change himself.

WOW WHERE HAS HE BEEN?

McCain does not have a chance this November. He is right about Hillary in the sense that she underestimated Obama and she felt a sense of entitlement. The Clintons hate to lose and judging by her comments and behavior throughout the primaries, she was a sore loser, point blank. She knew mathematically that she couldn't win so instead of her dropping out the race, she SELFISHLY stayed to prove a point.

Well-said Mr. Vice President!

You know, you're welcome to join the Obama Movement like I have, because our country's future depends on it!

We cannot afford to watch China become the next superpower while we waste $Trillions on senseless wars in the middle east ( think Iran).

Independents Unite for Obama!

He finally gets smarter and said something right.

John Mccain is to OLD. He will not be a good president.

I think that is exactly what drew people to Obama. WE didn't want to feel like America was a place were the rich aristocrats ruled our country. We still want the rags to riches story. We want a somewhat common man to lead us, because that's who Americans trust. We trust someone whose had experiences like us in regards to a mother dying because she doesn't have the insurance, or paying student loans.

.............................and still playing the doofus!

Why Dan Quayle is best qualified to be anybody's VP choice:
He makes everyone else look smart! He even made Bush Sr. look smart, and that's saying a lot!

From where did they dredge this electoral mistake?

Dan Quayle for Obama? The dumbest VP in America in the entire 20th century? Yes, that'll be a worthy endorsement...

NO AMOUNT OF VISION OR STRATEGY is going to save McCain. All cats are grey at night – anything McCain and the Republican Party says will be seen by the electrate as pandering – saying anything to win.

When you buy bad food off the shelf, you don't reward the company that made the food with a repeat purchase. The Republican Party has messed the country up. Its time for Democrats 'to take over and return the economy to the prosperous state it was when Bill Clinton was president.

Obama/Hillary 08!

ADDENDUM:
If I might add, Dan Quayle's presidential prediction of Romney vs Hillary, is going to be the vice presidential head-to-head. McCain will pick Romney as veep, Obama will pick Hillary – wanna bet?

This is probably the smartest thing to EVER come out of Dan Quayle's mouth!

OBAMA '08!!!

Well, "promoting his participation in a golf tournament later this month" . . . certainly gives him a convincing platform! He sounds as inept as ever.

Who is Dan Quayle?

Big suprise...
Obama's entire primary campaign was a thinly disguised negative personal attack against Clinton. Without having Hillary to attack Obama would never have made it past even Iowa. All of Obama supporters' attacks are VERBATIM republican talking points from the 90s. So of course republicans like when their attacks finally succeed.

Has Dan learned how to spell yet?

Listen to Quayle he finally is making a little sense. Just don't get him to spell TOMATO. He's right regarding the Obama movement, but wrong in his support of McCain. He knows in his heart that Obama is better for the country, but his republican heritage prompts him to support McCain. Maybe after careful thought as it pertains to what is better for our nation as apposed to good for his party, will cause him to open his eyes more.

No only does majority of Americans think, no– know, the country is on the wrong track, but they have also lost ALL trust for the Republican party. We trusted them with out securtiy, economy and family values. They have disappointed us on every level. They have now put forward a pre-historic, far from reality and out of touch elitist candidate (John McBush) who has not proposed any changes to the poor policies and practices of the Republicans and Bush from the last 7.5 years, but has rather embraces them all, promising more of the same and proposing some even worst ones himself. It is VERY shameful what the Republicans have done to this great country....SHAMEFUL!

Unfortunately for Dan Quayle , his reputation adn hence his opinions
have not been as well known as his famous gaffe. I mean how could a Vice President of the U.S. fail to spell a simple word like potato>

Wow!! Even Dan Quayle knows McCain’s the weaker candidate. So that means that as long as the majority of Americans are as smart as a man who misspelled potato, we’re in!!

GOBAMA!!!!!

NO CLEAR VISION is going to save McCain. All cats are grey at night – anything McCain and the Republican Party says will be seen by the electrate as pandering – saying anything to win.

When you buy bad food off the shelf, you don't reward the company that made the food with a repeat purchase. The Republican Party has messed the country up. Its time for Democrats 'to take over and return the economy to the prosperous state it was when Bill Clinton was president.

Obama/Hillary 08!

Something of which you could never do Dan? Oh ya, where are you now?

EXCELLENT ARTICLE.

OBAMA 08'

Quayle has actually said something smart for once.

You're right about one thing: the Obama movement makes no sense since the man is just not qualified to lead the nation. I shudder to think what this country will be like if a person with little character like Obama leads. My word!!

I respekt Dan Kwayl and his spelling of potatoe.

Quayle has a good point maybe he should hold McCain hands since Dan is looking for a father image... and not a true leader

i couldnt agree with you more sir!!!

Exactly, thank you Mr. Quayle at least you've acknowledged the obvious now if only the rest of your party would come from out of denial

You"re right Dan ...Clinton really underestimated Obama.....which shows poor judgement on her part or was she just blinded by the jewels in her crown???????

Holy who cares.

Right On!

Candid! Right on point.

What is this wimp even doing in the news? Who cares about his opinion anyway? It's just about as worthless as the entire Bush family, not to mention McCain, who has no opinions of his own.

July 15 everyone wear something Blue to show that we are proud of what Hillary accomplished in the run for presidency and even if you do not support Hillary to show that a women could do anything she wants to do.

HE DID NOT BEAT THE CLINTONS..The DNC and Male driven Media beat the Clinton.

I didn't know that guy was still alive.

I swear, every time I see this guy, all I can think of is the "potatoe" incident!

Where did yall dig up Quayle? and Why? isn't he the one who had his spelling corrected by a 5th grader?

Now this is the endorcement Obama has been looking for!
