The LA Times reports Obama says he is considering Clinton for the No. 2 spot.

Barack Obama told a potential donor to his campaign that Hillary Rodham Clinton is on his list of possible vice presidential running mates, but that her husband's status as a former president makes matters "complicated."

Jill Iscol, a faithful Democratic donor who was an ardent supporter of Hillary Clinton's presidential campaign, said Obama reached out to her because he heard she was unhappy about the way the New York senator had been treated by the Democratic Party and the media.

I don't think it would be good to have HRC on the ticket as VP. Obama will pick the right person for the right job, and I see HRC as Sec'y of Health and Human Services so that she can continue her life's work on putting an intelligent universal Healthcare Plan together..So my STILLFORHILL friends, vote as you want, but realize that if you are STILLFORHILL, none of her aspirations for continuing the fight for women, children, and universal healthcare will happen unless a Dem is in the WH and we have a super majority in Congress..Period, end of story.

I'm tired of this 2 party crap. Before I die, I'd like to see Americans routinely have a 3rd choice in these important elections. But the 2 established parties tell you "you're wasting your vote" if you vote for a 3rd party candidate. That's simply not true. I wasted my vote by voting AGAINST the Republican Bush (by voting for Kerry, who i didn't like), when I should have voted for a third party candidate, just to build up another option for future elections. I think we can scrap the current election (it's the worst choice of candidates in my lifetime), and start telling these politicians we want more choices by not voting for the 2 party system. Personally, I'll probably vote Nader, but we should all pick someone other than Obama or McCain, no matter how obscure. Let them know we mean it when we say we want change. We need to get the ball rolling. It's not a waste to create more options for the future.

Obama supporters are really mean. They are just mad because they fell for Barack lies and the belong to a cult. They cannot say one good reason they voted for Obama so they have to bash Hillary supporters. Ooh I forgot, the reason they are still hanging on to him is because he lied and said he was leaving Iraq in 16 months and he was all about change. Since he CHANGED and lied to them, they're bitter.

Badger   July 12th, 2008 2:22 pm ET

Do people actually believe Hillary would bring back the economy of the 90's? Everybody is tired of business as usual in Washington but the PUMA morons want to elect a bought and paid for politician like Hillary and think something will change. Maybe it is just as simple as the fact that she is female. Either way it is sad.

We need a Washington outsider.

Casey,

You have a real problem…When Bill Clinton was President those
were the best years we had.
Speaking od NAFTA Obama is flip flopping on that issue now, and is
agreeing we need NAFTA.

Let Bill sulk if he wants, who said he had to support Obama. If I
were him, I'd tell Obama to stick it.

An American Whiner   July 12th, 2008 2:13 pm ET

Why are Hillary's 18 Million Voters not helping her with her debt? Why do Obama's supporters have to retire a debt that she incurred while trying to smear him, and render him unelectable, despite the fact that there was no concievable way that she could have won???

As a poster said on Cafferty File:

"Where is that kid who sold his bike to donate to Hillary's campaign? I am sure that he has a Train set that he can sell."

Raymond Duke   July 12th, 2008 2:13 pm ET

Obama is just talking crap. George knew that Dick Cheney was smarter and a better leader than him and could live with that fact. Obama cannot . He is too self centered and thinks himself as the smartest person around. Even though he knows in his heart that Clinton over shadows him in every aspect there is no way that he will allow his muslim teaching to consider a woman. Forget that line of crap . It is never going to happen.

jimmie.brenner   July 12th, 2008 2:12 pm ET

Go ahead with your threats and write her in, the world does not need the likes of a Clinton remaining in the white house. DON'T BUCKLE OBAMA. She has not and will not ever change mainly because she is a "taker" and will never be a "giver."

Hispanic For McCain   July 12th, 2008 2:11 pm ET

Kris Hussain from AZ what a DOPE you are , a BIG TIME MORON!!! you must be stupid there are LOTS of Dem that knows better and OBAMA is not the best, he not to be trusted, flip flop on everything, and a moron. There are Many Dem that is FAR better then OBAMA. Listen up don't hate suck it up and drive on cause the Latinos Nation WILL decide the election and that is going to be for McCain Yes McCain not your Boy Obama!!!! Hispanic people smells a Rat and that is OBAMA. Hispanic people the community knows better not to trust the Rat OBAMA. that is why most of their votes are going to McCain. What you crying!!!! Hispanic for McCain!!!! you moron

Warren   July 12th, 2008 2:09 pm ET

Obama needs to start thinking about whats good for the country. Having Hillery as a VP would be like have a golden team running the United States. We are in serious trouble and we need great leadership, Not GOOD leadership, Great leadership. I believe that the two front runners in an election should always be the President and Vice President. After all, The people said that they wanted one or the other for president SO, The other should be V.P. Thats the way it should always be.

fojohnson   July 12th, 2008 2:09 pm ET

please Obama don't chose her after all she put you through. Moreover she is a woman so full of power that she will think that she is the president. She will want to show the public that you are weaker. Then after your first term she will like to contest against you. She and Bill can be manipulative. I believe strongly in my heart that you will win so don't sell yourself short. You ran a wonderful campaign that is why you worn. You did not win primary to have her as your running mate. PLEASE CNN POST MY COMMENT.

Jim   July 12th, 2008 2:09 pm ET

Frankly, after this nonsense with the FISA vote, he needs someone like Edwards on his ticket in order to redeem any of his liberal cred with me.

Clinton's just another old school pol.

SUE, Michigan   July 12th, 2008 2:09 pm ET

I DID help with her debt-she has the money, it's just that due to rules, she can't use it to pay off primary debts. And she must be on the ticket because she has the knowledge and experience he lacks, plus a base of, oh, 18 million voters! You all act like she was Huckabee with 28 delegates when she finally dropped out. She was about 100 delegates shy of the nomination! To merely shove her aside is not only rude, but dumb. Think back to every modern convention. In a close primary, the 2nd person is offered the VP slot for all those reasons! You Obama folks are all about unity and change, but you can't stand Hillary any more than we can take your pretty boy. And how long before you all are fed up with his changed sides on the issues? He is giving the Republicans much to throw back at him.

Belle2   July 12th, 2008 2:07 pm ET

I think it was mutual agreement that he does not want her; she does not want the VP. She will do what she must to show loyality to the party. The DNC treated her like crap but she remains loyal—what choice does she have? Anyone running with Obama will be playing craps with their political future. He may win because GWB has been the worst President in history; Obama may top that record. After all, it is GWB's arrogance that caused such problems. (He was so arrogant he believed if he wanted Iraqis to fall down in gratitude, they would.) Obama's arrogance makes GWB look humble.

uuuugh!!   July 12th, 2008 2:04 pm ET

can anyone here say that they are not affected by the economy, war, gas prices? can any one here say that they are not concerned about their kids education, jobs and their health care? we as a country stand at a threshold, we have a chance to change our Nation, thus changing the world…not in the way Bush did, but we have the opportunity to make our country great again. i do not believe we can do that with a Mccain administration, not because he is Republican, not because he voted 95% of the time with Bush…i have researched McCain and frankly…this man scares the hell out of me. you don't have to go further than the USS Forrestal…but there is so much more.

Bulldog   July 12th, 2008 2:03 pm ET

It doesn't matter who the VP is as long as the Republicans are not allowed in the White House next year. Whoever can help keep the GOP from power for the next 4 years is just fine with me. I sure how the Obama campaign gets it right.

Obama / Whoever will help defeat the Republicans '08

Ellie in Aurora, CO   July 12th, 2008 2:02 pm ET

I don't understand why women blame Obama for any perceived "mistreatment" of Hillary. Obama treats his wife like a queen, and speaks so highly of his mother's influence in his life. He has been exceptionally gracious to Hillary, when he could have brought up all of the 90's issues.
On the other hand, Bill Clinton disrespected his wife about as much as any man could – and perhaps still is, according to some sources. When McCain was slightly younger than Obama, he was cheating on his disabled wife, then divorced her in favor of a much younger woman.
Now who do you really think will address women's issues as president?

Brandon   July 12th, 2008 2:01 pm ET

I love it. Hillary is good enough to vote for and lead this country, but when she loses the nomination fairly and she asks her voters to stand behind Obama, they will not.

Obama is not perfect … but the policies that he will support and try to establish are much more in line with what I am looking for in a candidate than those that McCain supports.

Call it what you want … but from the outside looking in, considering that Hillary and Obama are almost a political mirror of each other (which Hillary herself stated " … our differences are small …"), it sure does look like the Hillary supporters who are claiming to stay at home or vote for McCain, are nothing but bitter, sore losers who are destined to see another 4 years of Bush administration policies because their candidate lost. Wake up and get over it.

PUMA's … LOL.

Ann   July 12th, 2008 1:58 pm ET

If Obama offers Hillary the VP position, I hope she will refuse it. Let the stupid lose by himself in November, don't get involved.

Many Democrats will never vote for Obama, with or without Hillary on the ticket. They will better accept/support a McCain compromise for 4 years which will give Hillary a better chance to run again in 2012.

Obama is Mr. Flip-Flop who set a bad example of campaigning (mockery, manipulation, tricks). Why would he be a good president? This guy already proved to be a liar.

Lisa   July 12th, 2008 1:57 pm ET

The top five reasons Obama supporters do not like Hillary. Now listen folks these are some of the dumbest reasons i've ever heard in my entire adult life.

1. Her last name is Clinton
2. She ran a bad campaign
3. She's a women
4. Bill is her husband
5. She's mean

Not one of the reasons has absolutely anything to do with her policies, or the fact that she wants universal healthcare for everyone and Obama does not.

maya   July 12th, 2008 1:55 pm ET

Hillary had better be his VP.

Then Obama will have my vote.

Newsdiva   July 12th, 2008 1:54 pm ET

No way Jose. NO "Hillbilly" in the Obama White House, talk about disaster! Yikes.

And that October suprise that everyone talks about? Well if she's on the ticket, the "surprise" would be this:

She's scheduled to go on trial sometime this fall, I think in October.

So let's be real folks, Hillary just doesn't work as his choice…way way too much baggage, and I'm not talking about the one she married or the ones under her eyes.

GO OBAMA 08 & 12

J Kay - PCMO   July 12th, 2008 1:51 pm ET

This past week I had the priviledge to attend a nationally focused democratic forum. During that event I met many hard working State level persons who were with Senator Obama through the primaries. Trust me, I learned a lot of what happened on the campaign trail. And, I won't repeat them here. Deliberate political dirty tricks from the Clinton's and their camp toward Obama. They obviously would do anything and I mean anything to win. Because of that and other tawdry reasons, I ask why would he want HRC around again? She can't wash the dirt and mud off of herself to be presentable to America at any level much less be at Barack's side. This is one sixty something female Obamacan that will never go near a Clinton. It is time for change and Hope……….let's take a look at the seriousness of our economy and the war, and put the Clinton saga to rest. No more…it is over HRC.

Brad   July 12th, 2008 1:51 pm ET

Hillary who? Get over it, the Clintons have been in control of a dying party for far too long. Even Barack, as the new "party leader" fails to address issues of importance to most Americans; rather, just like McCain, he addresses issues by kissing butts with an eye on pleasing all of the fractured minorities rather than touching the reforms that people want.

Illegals don't vote and people without jobs have every right to be angry with a government that is more concerned with dumping money into other countries for the benefit of American corporations, than with the welfare of its own citizens.

John form NYC   July 12th, 2008 1:49 pm ET

I would like to know why do black americans hate the Clintons so much now ? Now that we have a black person running for president they use to call Bill their president. Is that racism?

Lisa   July 12th, 2008 1:49 pm ET

Obama should should select Hillary as the Vice President because she's the best qualified person to become President when Obama is impeached.

aware   July 12th, 2008 1:48 pm ET

Senator Obama has no good choices other than Senator Hillary Clinton but I would not suggest that she join the arrogant guy who has no moral center or core principles. She is too good for Obama! :)

As for Bill Clinton, he would be the best thing that could happen for Obama. If Obama really wants to win not just one but two terms, he will work hard to convince Hillary to join him as VP.

Otherwise, he will lose in 2008 and 2012! :)

OBAMA I SUPPORT AND IF HILLARY'S GOOD ENOUGH FOR OBAMA, HILLARY IS MORE THAN GOOD ENOUGH FOR ME.

richard - Minneapolis   July 12th, 2008 1:43 pm ET

So a candidate goes out, solicits sufficient money and handles his campaign effectively and another does not solicit enough money and handles hers ineffectively. What does that say about the candidate's managements skills and appeal to voters? In a lot of ways, the fundraising is the "first primary": most of Obama's opponents dropped out when they failed to raise enough money to conduct a campaign. Point: THEY DID NOT HAVE SUFFICIENT SUPPORT!

Hillary didn't have sufficient support, but she tried to pay her own way. She should have dropped out like the others! This was an entirely democratic process and the people have spoken as they will again in November.

john   July 12th, 2008 1:43 pm ET

Foreign Observer   July 12th, 2008 1:42 pm ET

Gina: "If Obama wanted to make things right and follow our democratic system, Obama should have stepped aside when Hillary got the MAJORITY of the popular vote." Shouldn't you learn what the system _is_ before you spout off about democracy? Hint: it doesn't rely on "the popular vote." Homework: how many votes does it take to get into the senate?

WoMaN4McCain   July 12th, 2008 1:41 pm ET

ewwww….icky. I actually felt sick when I read this. Why on earth would you even consider a woman who said the horrible things this hag said about you Obama??? I watched those democratic debates and my mouth would literally drop open at times from the comments coming out of that woman's mouth about a fellow dem. SHE SAID YOU ONLY GIVE GOOD SPEECHES. Please get a clue. I have actually been leaning your way lately because of all of McCain's missteps…..but..pick her and I'll be forced to stick with the old man.

Blayze Kohime   July 12th, 2008 1:41 pm ET

I think that Bill Clinton does complicate things. He complicated HiIary's campaign a great deal and Obama is nervous that he may do the same to his campaign. If not for this, Hilary would probably have a lot better chance of being chosen.

scott   July 12th, 2008 1:41 pm ET

I said it before, W/O Clinton Obama can not get elected. But what is more troubling is the way Obama is moving toward the center in regards to the war. He is starting to sound more like a politcian that will stay with the status quo. He talks a good game, but that is all he is about. THere is no change wiht Obama, just another worthless politican. This country has not had a decent President since Kennedy

Senator -

You need someone …

1.) you can trust & work with as a partner when you deem it appropriate.
2.) that you can delegate tasks to, and be confident that they will get completed as you want them to be completed.
3.) that can GUARANTEE you a huge RED state that you would not otherwise get.
4.) ready to be president if something should happent to you
5.) that mutes McCain's percieved wisdom, experience, and the superficiall allure of his POW status.
6.) some that pulls white men in the south.
7.) Smart enough and yet smooth enough to show up McCain and his running mate in the debates.
8.) would be capable, willing and acceptable to the entire US population in 2016 to continue the Democratic juggernaut.

Can someone explain to me how even a small percentage of HRC voters, voting for McCain will make Obama lose? We have 51 separate elections in this country (electoral college rather than popular vote), and the HRC supporters are spread throughout. We know for a fact that not all 18 million are childish enough to vote AGAINST their best interests, so they will vote for the candidate most like their own, Obama. Then you have to factor in all of the new or unlikely votes that are in play this year. Is there a PUMA out there that can explain exactly what their strategy is?

Patrick   July 12th, 2008 1:28 pm ET

If Obama dosent pick CLinton as VP he basically gives the Presidency to McCAin.

HILLARY SHOW THE KNOWLEDGE YOU DO HAVE. YOU AND BILL DUMP THIS GARBAGE NOW. ALONG WITH THE DNC. OBAMA'S SHIP IS GOING DOWN WHETHER YOU'RE ON THE TICKET OR NOT. WE'RE NO GOING TO VOTE FOR SOMEONE AS CROOKED, CONNIVING, LIAR, AND A GANGSTER WHO TAKES MONEY FROM GANGSTER/SUPPORTS TERRORISTS. THE MAN REGARDLESS OF COLOR (WHICH HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH MY DECISION.

Obama should go ahead and make up his mind already. Do not drag out the "who will be VP show" and end up like a last minute thing like Kerry stumbling in front of Edwards in front of a hotel in '04. That was pitiful to wait so long. If Mccain beats him to the decision, it makes Obama look bad. Obama should choose by next week, and begin hitting hard by preparing a magnificent speech for the DNC in Colorado, followed up by a nationwide campaign to target ambivalent people.

Hillary supporters go away no one owes you or her

Let's not forget all the lies and the bad mouthing of Barack that she did during the primary

Why would she want to be his VP since she and her supporters clearly think she is better suited for the job (LOL) wouldn't being a VP be an insult??????

Golly, Obama cultists. What would you do, what would you say, if your hero actually chose Clinton!

All of sudden you'd have to start writing pro-Clinton messages, but you're all so programmed you probably would do a 180 degree about-face and praise him!

I bet that on the 1 in million chance that he actually chose Clinton, you would all tell yourselves that this was the very best idea anyone could ever have and Barack is such a genius and I just can't wait to pull the lever for Obama/Clinton.

"Why, we love Hillary. We've always believed she should share the ticket. Isn't Barack hones, brilliant and kind!"

Not only by all of us in the USA , but how the world see us. i am not voting for Obama because of who he picks for VP. I believe those who supported Mrs.Clinton who say they will only vote for him if he picks her, I do not understand you people. he is good enough if he has her, but not without her.Are you selling your vote?I am sure he will find a much more important place for her, hang in there folks.

I thought Hillary lost. Put her on the ticket, or else….? It sounds like blackmail. If I were him, I’d rather make a clean break and pick someone else for VP. I don’t think I’d want the job if I had to answer to my VP and her "gang" every time an issue comes up that that she has a different opinion about. What will be the next “or else..”? Impeachment? LOL

Fabian Blache III   July 12th, 2008 1:13 pm ET

I have grown very tired with the women whining over Senator Obama's winning the primary. I have grown even more tired of hearing ignorance in the form of "I am going to vote for McCain…even though he doesn't represent their or Hillary's views.

Throughout the campaign the media clearly delineated the similarities between the two candidates on the vast majority of their positions. That said, we were in good hands with either Hillary or Barack.

Let's get past the silliness and move on to whipping some RNC tail.

Obama 08   July 12th, 2008 1:13 pm ET

If I were Barack, I would consider picking Hillary, BUT…

I am NOT so sure that these PUMA people would grow up and vote for the ticket anyway.

Hillary may be a great choice for VP, but some of her supporters are NOT helping her case right now. They are more determined to elect John McCain than anything else.

Common sense is completely out the window. Uncontrolled rage may be here to stay. Thanks PUMA.

If Obama does not put Hillary on the ticket I will campaign for McCain in Texas, Obama stole the nomination and that is something we will rally, He does not deserve it, And to all those Obama supporters believe it or not he cannot win without her or her husband, And yes we should vote for McCain he has experience and knowledege but
I rather put the country in the hands of one that knows than one that is going to be on the job training, The only way I will vote Obama is if she's on the ticket, And to those Obama supporters talking bad about Hillary you should continue so that he can lose…

lisaque   July 12th, 2008 1:06 pm ET

The comment she does'nt have what it takes!!! Please tell me what he has that it takes?????.

YES WE CAN AND WE WILL VOTE NOBAMA!!!!!

PUMA (PAC)

RJ, CA   July 12th, 2008 1:04 pm ET

I don't see how Bill Clinton would complicate anything — except that he would outshine Obama every step of the way. THAT is what Obama could not handle. But still – it's too late. Even with Hillary #2, Obama would still be #1 — and that is totally unacceptable to me.

What a great team it would have been with Hillary as president and an accomplished ex-president by her side! As an ardent supporter and contributor to Hillary, my vote now goes to McCain — the only one now left with #1 credentials.

Larry, Apex, North Carolina   July 12th, 2008 1:04 pm ET

Please don't pick Hillary! You will lose more votes than you will gain. She is a conniving, self-absorbed pig who cares nothing for the country.

Anonymous   July 12th, 2008 1:03 pm ET

I'm a Clinton supporter that does not like Obama much. Afraid we have to make a chouse. Obama is less likely to create real dammage.
McCain I like and trust but could never vote for him. McCain is an idiot
just like Bush, not very smart we already did that for 8 years. The Obama and Clinton supporters are just fueling the fire. All the nasty bloging. I'm not happy with Obama Either but he's got my vote.

Xavier   July 12th, 2008 1:02 pm ET

18 millions devoted supporters of Hillary Clinton? Are you sure? Why dont they all send her one dollar each and take care of most of her debt? If they are true supporters like they claim to be they would. Just an idea.

Jan   July 12th, 2008 12:57 pm ET

We middle income earners will definitely have higher taxes with Obama. The wealthy always find ways to hide their income–so who will pay? everyone! If you people think you are getting a free ride with Obama, you are dreaming. His policy is actually the opposite of our hero, JFK .Obama–"Ask not what you can do for your country-but, ask what your country can do for you" . When did the democrats fall into this abyss? JFK would roll over in his grave.

Toni   July 12th, 2008 12:56 pm ET

I am also on the fence re:voting for Obama.I still believe Hillary would have made the best President.Unfortunately she was not nominated and it it is to our detriment.I believe the only possible way we could finally retake the White House is with Hillary as Vice President,otherwise you might as well kiss it goodbye.

Xavier   July 12th, 2008 12:56 pm ET

Texas Trail Dog,
You do not keep a quotation going past the speakers own statement and mix it with your own. If you do then it is a misquote and thus a lie. Obama actually said that the death penalty should apply to child rapists, or weren’t you listening?

Cricket   July 12th, 2008 12:55 pm ET

Hillary Clinton needs to be considered on her own merits, and not that of her husband.! He is not running!!! If Mr. Obamba really wants to win this election, he could strongly consider her as a running mate. She carries a lot of votes with her, including mine.

Erika, KS   July 12th, 2008 12:53 pm ET

Let's not kid ourselves; Clinton "lost" because of her gender, because of Pelosi and the DNC. Obama didn't win anything! He's been appointed.

Hillary does indeed have more experience and more accomplishments than the junior senator. And, no we will NOT EVER forget how Clinton was treated by Obama, his blind followers, the media and sexist pig men! I won't vote for Obama.

Hillary should stay in the senate where she will do more good for the longevity of the democratic cause. If she's VP, she's out. Obama will not win this election. She will have more influence in the long run by being a Senator.

I don't believe you suppsed "Hillary Supporters"   July 12th, 2008 12:52 pm ET

YEAH RIGHT!! You people commenting everywhere online pretending to be hillary supporters that are voting McCain are most likely REPUBLICANS. You think we're all stupid enough not to realize that these postings are anonymous and you could be anybody, typing anything. Anyway, as someone who was a TRUE Hillary supporter, I know that there is no way anyone who voted for Hillary would ever vote for McCain.

strong   July 12th, 2008 12:52 pm ET

I miss Hillary !

Bring her back.

km   July 12th, 2008 12:51 pm ET

People, grow up. If the object is to win in November, and both candidates brought in 18 mil. votes in the nomination process, it would only make sense to team up to win. This is to pick a leader of our country, not a high school prom king. None of you know either of these two personally, yet you talk like you are fighting for your best bud. I've been an Obama supporter from day one, but if Clinton will help keep the presidency out of the GOP's hands I'm all for it.

No Hilary   July 12th, 2008 12:51 pm ET

No Hill Bill. No SNAKE in the vicinity.
God protect you

Laura   July 12th, 2008 12:50 pm ET

This was suppose to be a landslide year for the Dems and It would have been, had the DNC not selected the weaker candidate. If you haven't noticed the polls are tightening up. Obama needs to seriously consider HC for that spot, because the White House is slipping away.

just another whiner   July 12th, 2008 12:49 pm ET

pumas PAY YOURS AND HILLARY'S DEBT!dont bash our candidate then ask for money from us.

Get someone decent for VP   July 12th, 2008 12:48 pm ET

So Americans can look up to – A few good men (women) – Colin Powell, Condolesa Rice, Chuck Hagel. Don't be afraid if they are Republicans. Bipartican Govt. A Democratic president and a Republican Vice President.
Obama- Go for a change. You are the only one who can do that.
God bless you

clayton   July 12th, 2008 12:48 pm ET

Gina please, by all accounts Hillary's "majority" was suspect at best. The rules of the primary process are set by the DNC – if you don't like them or don't agree with them that is fine, but it isn't fair to change them in the middle of a race. Even if Hillary got the delegate split she wanted in FL and MI it would not have been enough to put her over the top (yes, it would have made the race even closer). Obama should be punished because he ran a smarter campaign and was a more effective fundraiser? Hillary's mismanagement of her own campaign should be a telling sign of her executive attributes.

Anyone but Hillary for VP   July 12th, 2008 12:46 pm ET

Hillary is a dishonest self-serving fraud. She makes nice to Obama in public while telling her donors to hold back. She isn't seeking the Vice-Presidency, she wants a co-Presidency. Obama should resist the temptation to pick Shillary at all costs.

Texas Trail Dog   July 12th, 2008 12:45 pm ET

obama will be a much better president without any clinton baggage.

Tarrie   July 12th, 2008 12:44 pm ET

Clinton on VP short list…oh…CNN must be thrilled…seeing that its been pushing Hillary for VP since May.

No Hillary   July 12th, 2008 12:43 pm ET

You do not need a SNAKE in your vicinity.

Real person for Obama.   July 12th, 2008 12:42 pm ET

Hey so call typical white person"

your comment doesn't make sense.

Obama encourage parent to let their kids learn spanish and did say Spanish children shouldn't learn English.

I know people that hate Obama will always find away to make a sincere words into argument.

Go south of the continent from Mexico down to South America our neighbour they all speak Spanish. So, what is wrong when Obama care to lecture family to let their children learn spanish?

Wolf   July 12th, 2008 12:41 pm ET

For those who think the media was fair to Clinton….you need to go back to school and figure out what sexism is. I will give you a brief example: " Illinois Senator ahead of Former First Lady". This should have read: "Illinois Senator ahead of New York Senator". Now that would have been fair and even treatment. So – NO – Clinton was not treated fairly by the media. This goes for every station. And until naiive people understand that, they will also promote a true division in the Democratic Party. Clinton is the best suited to be VP and Bill Clinton is not a problem, unless you are Obama who painted Bill Clinton as a racist. Stupid candidate and now a stupid presumptive nominee.

Clinton or no White House in January! PUMA!

Glad to be an Independent   July 12th, 2008 12:39 pm ET

I am quite sure that Clinton is on Obama's list of VP candidates. The problem is Bill Clinton and his baggage. I did not support Hillary Clinton but I have respect for her because she was a real fighter. At one time, I supported Bill Clinton but by the time he left office, I was sick of him and all of his scandals. If not for Bill Clinton, I would say yes to Hillary being VP. The only way Obama could choose her as VP is if there was an understanding that Bill Clinton stay away from the White House and policy. As long as Bill Clinton focused on his charitable foundation and kept out of politics. Even if Bill Clinton agreed to stay away, I still have some reservations.

HG   July 12th, 2008 12:39 pm ET

Its all about Bill. If I was Bill Clinton I would promise Obama I would stay away from speaking and disapear in very small towns if Hillary is chosen as VP.

Obama will pick one of these 5- Hillary,Bayh,Kaine,Schweitzer or Richardson.

GT in CA   July 12th, 2008 12:38 pm ET

Adedokun from Atlanta   July 12th, 2008 12:38 pm ET

Whenever I hear Obama , I hear love. The "love" has a wide range – Some love him unconditionally and some just love to hate him.
Obama ,you can not satisfy everybody. Do what is best for the country and you.

Kuse,i am with on this one people so naive.

NC   July 12th, 2008 12:38 pm ET

I am so sick of the entitlement attitude from Hillary's team and her supporters. I would love for Obama to win but if he doesn't that's fine. It's not like McCain's "psychological help" is only going to affect some of us.

whiner   July 12th, 2008 12:37 pm ET

marge hibbing mn-you were never a dem.you just vote for female.you dont think about issues,just bruised ego.why dont you pay off her debt?

Peter of Oregon   July 12th, 2008 12:34 pm ET

Hillary's so called PUMA supporters are all talk, little action. They insist on Obama picking her as VP, but they can't raise more than $100,000 for her to rest her campaign debt.

You can't trust a PUMA "supporter." The Republicans can have them.

Real person for Obama.   July 12th, 2008 12:33 pm ET

Noah, over and over again Hillary was told Bill was hurting her campaign with his arrogancy , but Hillary could not separate herself from Bill.

Let's not forget Bill was the back bone for Hillary's campaign. If Hillary had divorsed Bill long ago, she would not have gotten to where she got to.

Noah you should never count Bill Clinton out around Hillary.

Blacks don't like Bill Clinton as it was earlier liked, becuase his hate comment about blacks.

Think about it, when he was in Office for 8 years blacks were sitting in the back stage and when it is time for a black mix white man's turn to govern, Bill attempt toblock the way.

Even when it was impossible for Hillary to clinch the nomination, bill encouraged her not to quit. Now will Bill Clinton call that a wise moves? $20,million in debt is not a wise way to end a campaign, she did not win and she rackup debt of that magnitude.

I am for Obama to help her with paying down her debt.

On vep. I think Obama should get a governor or a military experience person for his vep.
Mitt rony also accumulat debt, but the repub and the media didn't ask mccain to pay or help pay up Mitt Rony's debt.
Why?

sue calgary   July 12th, 2008 12:33 pm ET

Obama stand firm! Do not buckle under the pressure to pick Hillary as yuor VP! You need to break any from The Clintons and create your own legacy. You are showing them the respect that they feel is due and that's wonderful but you need to be able to be a President without distractions. Give Hillary the Health Care issue…. and pick someone else as VP. The eyes of the World are watching!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

TheTruthHurts   July 12th, 2008 12:33 pm ET

Who was it that was talking about a hot kitchen? Absolutely Laughable if it wasn't so sad. Unity begins with respect. Barack has respected Clinton from the beginning despite some overzealous supporters. As to the DNC, I hear a great deal of whining. There was no lack of respect from the DNC, just a disagreement that didn't go one groups way. It's called DEMOCRACY. the sour grapes seem like a great deal of whining.

Obama has told his supporters that disrespect is not to be tolerated, but at the same time understands their anger given what he was subjected to by her campaign. There however has never been a lack of respect from Obama.

Ross   July 12th, 2008 12:32 pm ET

Obama shout be more honest about this and not use lame excuses. He knows the best VP candidate would be Hillary. If he really wants to win he should pick her in a split second. Hillary proved to shine with her own light and she did it astonishingly.

Filipina   July 12th, 2008 12:31 pm ET

What is wrong of learning different language? Heck my kids knows how to speak 3 language and proud of it.

Filipina   July 12th, 2008 12:30 pm ET

Jan you did not ask me…if Hilary won the candidate I will vote for her.
You are so bitter, why such a sore loser? When Obama wins you should go and migrate to another country and whine there.

PG   July 12th, 2008 12:29 pm ET

DNC and the media did nothing to Hillary. She did it to herself! Of course she and her so called supporters need to blame someone for her personal failures. Grow up people!

Austin, Texas   July 12th, 2008 12:28 pm ET

Once again, Barack Obama is pandering for votes.

This man is all lies, and no substance. He flip flops, and manipulates people into thinking he's the right choice.

I'd love to see Obama pander to me for my max contribution. I'm a Hillary supporter who won't vote for Obama in November. Not because i'm "angry" that Hillary isn't the nominee, but because McCain is a better choice than Obama.

randy   July 12th, 2008 12:28 pm ET

She is like the ex girl friend that never let go of her boyfriend.even do her ex boyfriend dont want her.Hilary please go.

Kim, Studio City, CA   July 12th, 2008 12:27 pm ET

There are 18 million unhappy Democratic voters right now. Hillary was treated unfairly and with great sexism by the media and the DNC. It was disgraceful. However, Obama did win. In order to move on,
though, it's important that Obama and the Democratic Party examine what happened during the Primary and address and correct these problems within the Dem. Party. The Primary is over, Obama is the nominee and the leader of our party. Obama, DO THE RIGHT THING NOW…pick the most qualified candidate on your short list for VP. That is clearly Hillary. This will unite the party, heal the wounds, and guarantee an administration with the best and the brightest. You can win without this; but your administration and the Dem Party will be so much stronger with the choice of Hillary. It will send a message to the Dems, to America, and to the world, that your commitment to fairness and Democracy trumps petty politics; it sends the message that you are running because you want the best for America. Your administration will truly be historic and put America back on track.

DM, Let talk about the truth!!   July 12th, 2008 12:26 pm ET

The Vetting Process, let see former president who owes so many around the world. He recieved secret cash for promise What???? Promises???

Hillary Clinton, cant manage her own campaign money now her supports wants her as VP??? What a Joke!!!!!

I really like Senator Clinton but poor management style.

Let get a leader who actually struggle with street life and actually help some one beside their own wallet!!!

I like to see a reformed Republican on the ticket with Obama… Let Unite all American not just the Democrats.. We all live here togather..

Willam from Texas   July 12th, 2008 12:25 pm ET

I think that Obama supporters that don't want Clinton, or thinks that Obama doesn't need her don't know what they are talking about.

Bottom line is that Hillary is the best choice for VP. She is the only one that measures up. As far as Bill Clinton being a former president, I can't think of anyone else that can better advise Obama in a time of crises.

captain   July 12th, 2008 12:23 pm ET

Angry Hillary supporters-

If there are so many of you, as your threats would imply, why don't you each kick in 5 or 10$ and retire her debt. Put your money where your mouths are. It should be easy because you're "millions strong."

Typical White Person – 11:43 AM-

Obama speaks all the time, and always has, of immigrants' need to learn English. Kids all over the world are bilingual, even multi-lingual. To want the same things for our kids isn't un-American – its pro-Common Sense.

whiner   July 12th, 2008 12:23 pm ET

whatever president obama decides,i will support it.

bruce   July 12th, 2008 12:22 pm ET

Gee, perhaps it's a good time for a review of the facts:
#1 Clinton completely misread the mood of the country touting her experience and "ready from day 1″ instead of change. Can we afford a President with such poor instincts?
#2 She hired and surounded herself with incompetent people. Scares me to think about her making cabinet appointments.
#3 Bosnia! Sniper fire! Not an exaggration, but a complete fabracation!
That speaks for itself
#4 Her first attempt at managing a major organization with a large budget, her campagian, was an utter failure.
#5 Just like Bush, she did not let the facts get in her way…..she kept campagianing and building debt……..and trashing Obama when she had no chance to win.
She did not lose because of the media. Or because she was a woman. She lost because she ran a terrible campaign and deserved to lose.

Ted:Canada   July 12th, 2008 12:20 pm ET

He can do all the pandering and flip flopping he likes, I will still never vote for him. He's still running his campaign like a popularity contest, all fluff and no substance. Sponsoring Nascar now? You have got to be kidding!

Mark   July 12th, 2008 12:19 pm ET

Who says Obama is flip-flopping? No, this is just his change he wants us to believe in.

The only thing is that his followers are starting to feel slightly shortchanged…

rachel   July 12th, 2008 12:18 pm ET

unfortunately he is just dangling in front of her supporters until he feels its safe to say she wont be the choice.

My fellow hillary supporters. I am as disappointed as most of you. When I cast my vote it will be with a heavy heart. I wont be voting for obama because I like him, I will be voting for him because I don't like McCain and its terrible that it comes down to that. Pelosi, and Dean were never impartial and they know it. In the end the DNC pushed super delgates to hurry and make their decision a few nights before the last primary(hint they were probably all on the phone going you better vote for obama) so that no matter what at the end of the last primary Obama would have enough delegates even if he lost both primaries.(yeah he only lost one on the last night but it wouldnt have matter if he lost both if he got a few delegates it was a done deal the DNC made sure of that. Anyone wonder why Hillary was still winning primaries when the media were saying she was out of it can't win? Cause people wanted it be known who they wanted and the DNC didnt want the priamries to continue because they knew Hillary would win some up to the end. Hillary was called a monster by someone in BO's camp DNC said nothing but Pelosi had no problem beign publically upset that hillary said that McCain had experience. Hillary was told to go iron shirts then we had that stupid hillary nut cracker and the constant ragging on her clothes, then attacked for beign emotional, then attacked for not beign emotional enough. I heard nothing from DNC, Nothing from the civil rights leaders(even though until BO start running the clintons were there bestest friends) They only stuck up for Barack. In the End it is sad that the DNC treated hillary like a stepchild even the RNC did not put much pressure on Ron Paul to quit his race and suspended his campaign after Hillary. Yeah I will probably vote but it will be with such a heavy heart. I have never felt this bad about voting in a long time, but that doesnt matter to the majority of the barack supporters just as long as we go out and vote hun.

Oh and for those complaining about clinton tickers, hello its called political ticker Not only barack and mccain, cnn is free to post a ticker about anyone in politics thank and lets move on.

Sally from Cali   July 12th, 2008 12:17 pm ET

The Hillary Supporters who rant in this blog prove every stereotype about nagging, emotional, irrational women believable. That is the excuse that men have used for years for not letting women lead, or vote, and here you go ranting over the fact that your candidate lost. That's politics. Just vote for somebody and shut up. Your whining is not going to change anything. And grow up while you're at it.

But if you vote for McCain, that's just stupid and your candidate told you that it is not the right thing to do.

To the Republicans who want to fuel the anger and division among Democrats, you have enough problems with your own candidate. Go blog something positive about him if you can think of anything. Too bad you have to try to tear down and destroy the other party to give your weak candidate a boost.

Ms. Sims   July 12th, 2008 12:17 pm ET

@Typical White Person….First he didnt say that he was going to make anybody speak Spanish or any other language, it was a suggestion. He did however point out a fact that we need more billingual people in America. You can go back and look at the slow up of info after the 9/11 attacks, they were prolonged b/c we didn't have enough translators. Look at our military stationed around the world, that's why bi-lingual service men/women are in high demand. We live in a global economy wouldn't it be helpful to us to speak the language of the countries we do business with.

Roy   July 12th, 2008 12:16 pm ET

No matter what, I can't go with McCain. I'm an Obama supporter but have nothing against Hillary as VP. If she would've won the primary, I would've voted for her as President.

Hillary is not the problem these days, it is Bill. She needs to check him immediately as he is negatively impacting what she is trying to build. She supported him way beyond the call of duty during his presidency and now that she has an opportunity, why does it have to be all about him? Before anyone says that I'm a closet Republican or hate Bill, I'm a lifelong Democrat and voted for Bill twice! I'm just hoping that he pulls it together for all of our sakes!!

Arnie, NY   July 12th, 2008 12:16 pm ET

Don't Hillary and Obama look sweet together?

It's so nice that Obama has asked us to pay off Hillary's debts. Afterall they are both "only" multi-millionaires.

We, as hardworking citizens and donors are losing our houses to foreclosure, paying $4+ per gallon of gas, and paying exhorbitant food prices—yet these two millionaires have gotten together to further squeeze us.

Obama is just another slick politician out for himself.

I dont think so.   July 12th, 2008 12:14 pm ET

Lol. You have to be kidding me? Is this the same person who said, "Shame on you Mr. Obama"? Lol. No you will not to be on his ticket. Give me a break. You need to lay low and let people forget about how you acted. Sorry, try again in 2016. GOBAMA! I LOVE YOU MAN.

clayton   July 12th, 2008 12:14 pm ET

Hillary doesn't have the nomination because she ran a poor campaign NOT because of the media or something that Obama or his supporters did. She lost fair and square – it's time to get over it and move on.

Maggie Muggins From Selwyn   July 12th, 2008 12:13 pm ET

Americans are in the biggest mess in the history of their country because they voted for their own demise. If these blogs are any indication it doesn't appear that people have become any smarter and will deserve what the future brings.

If you don't think the mighty can fall you better review what happened with the ussr.

jheckerman   July 12th, 2008 12:13 pm ET

Obama supporters- don't you know we believe in HRC as you believe in Obama and our votes will insure him getting elected.
I and millions of others are ready to write in HRC name on the ballot – and let the cookies crumble. Hillary Clinton may not want the VP spot- but her supporter do. You and your Candidate do not hear us. Dont piss us off.

Kris Hussain from AZ   July 12th, 2008 12:13 pm ET

Jan from Boca Raton FL, Do you even know the differences between Republican and democrat? If you are a democrat then you know republicans have a way different agenda then Democrats as the case in the last 8 years. It is scary to think you will dump the values that you have due to your canidate not being picked. Sad…………I voted for Kerry and I did not think he had what it took. But he was democrat. VALUES my friend. Obama is a top notch Democrat.

viv   July 12th, 2008 12:12 pm ET

Whew! Hillary supporters…step back and take a deep breath.
If not, you may get labeled as gasp…heaven forbid…
"bitter"
If all 18 million of you pooled your resources, you could pay off her debt in record time. It would only take a dollar from each one of you.

Shane   July 12th, 2008 12:12 pm ET

The thing to do is send Bill Clinton on a humantarian trip for the United States. Obama and Hillary are the best ticket. With them two on the ticket, we will have the white house at least for 16 years

Former HC Girl   July 12th, 2008 12:12 pm ET

Hey Randy, your Nobama is losing voters every day. Each week he flip flops and people are sick and tired of this liar. Don't count on 70% of Hillary's votes because there is no way he is going to get even half. By the time August rolls around your Mr. Elite will have buried himself and will be back in Chicago making side deals with his buddy Rezko and the ever Rev Wright.
PUMA

Hillary or else   July 12th, 2008 12:10 pm ET

There are two simple truths in this situation.

1) Either Obama chooses Senator Clinton or he automatically loses any chance at becoming POTUS

2) Obama secretly doesn't want Senator Clinton to be VP, because by doing so not only will her abilities out-shadow him severely, but Bill Clinton's legacy with improving economic stability during his terms will make Obama yet again look like the neophyte that he is.

Which is better for Obama? Lose while untethered to the Clintons? Win with the Clintons, yet have the entire country clearly come to realize that Obama the rock star is not up to the job of POTUS?

AV   July 12th, 2008 12:10 pm ET

THANKS FUNNY 18 MILLION VOTERS, AT HILLARYS LAST FEW SPEECHES SHE WOULD ALWAYS UP THE NUMBER OF PEOPLE WHO VOTED FOR HER SINCE THERE WAS NO REAL WAY TO NOW AND THE MEDIA WOULD REPEAT IT. IT WENT FROM 17 TO 18 IN THE LAST SPEECH.

SO LET'S JUST SAY 80 MILLION PEOPLE VOTED FOR HER, HOW THAT SOUND?

daniel in chicago   July 12th, 2008 12:08 pm ET

Melissa… you don't sound like you do your homework. The argument, and still is, is the fact that the American public doesn't know Sen. Obama. Other than the RockStar status that the Media has given, and his books, you don't know him. He is proving his INEXPERIENCE. He IS intelligent, but hasn't proven his smarts… sorry!…. THAT is why many don't understand why his is in the position he is in…

The Good Old Boy politicians were the ones who actually pushed Clinton out, and supported Obama… the same people he talks against and who have been doing business in Washingtong for 25 years, like McCain. You would think that these guys would be against that kind of "Change"… They see a fool coming who they can manipulate…

Florida   July 12th, 2008 12:07 pm ET

Obvama can count Florida out if Hillary is not on the ticket. Either way McCain will win the general. Obamaniacs: Your Messiah is only 3 points ahead with all the things going for him.

Marie   July 12th, 2008 12:07 pm ET

Is this man going to flip to the republican side on women's rights? He seems to be avoiding that issue now that he is pandering to the right and religious groups. Roe versus Wade is in just as much danger from this man as from any other candidate.

Freida, NYC   July 12th, 2008 12:06 pm ET

You know… I am so sick of you Obama supporters–with your hate-filled comments against any Hillary supporter who express their opinion. I got trashed and bashed the other day by expressing my opinions and my right to chose whomever i want for president of this country. You all already started doing the same thing today with Marge Hibbing from Mn. Everyone is entitled to their opinion, how dare you Obama supporters tell people who they should vote for!? But then again, it is so typical of each one of you to behave this way, you are just like your candidate. Get a grip please!!!!

mike   July 12th, 2008 12:04 pm ET

why does everyone cry to the media when they can't control. The media DID NOT treat Clinton ant different then any other candidate. It's such a lame, boring argument. There is all sorts of information out there, good and bad on all sides…… Get over it.

Kris Hussain from AZ   July 12th, 2008 12:04 pm ET

As well she should be on the short list. I think who ever Obama picks will be a good pick. For our country. God Bless America!

Joe Reg   July 12th, 2008 12:04 pm ET

Let the vetting process take its cours. We can not discount out of hand countless of outstanding citizens in the process.

We know that Hillary has proven herself to be a worthy candidate for V.P. her experience is almost unmatch.

It is howerver, a balancing act to put or not to put her on the ticket.

Go Obama go!

Obama 08 & 12.

Gina   July 12th, 2008 12:03 pm ET

If Obama wanted to make things right and follow our democratic system, Obama should have stepped aside when Hillary got the MAJORITY of the popular vote. Obama should have stepped aside when the DNC high jacked the nomination in his behalf. Obama should have stood up for the disenfranchised voters of Florida and Michigan. Obama should not have purchased the democratic nomination … and, Americans should not let him purchase the Presidency of the United States.

JERRAL   July 12th, 2008 12:02 pm ET

obama said nothing about making anyone learn to speak spanish he said (imagrimants has to learn english and ==americans should learn other languages) is what he said.
my grandchildren here in arkansas are learning other lan- already. have been for 10 years. it is a good thing/ i want to learn spanish so when they talk around me i know what they are saying..
stop bashing the meadia and people. hillary was NOT mistreated by yhe media,obama,dnc. she was treaterd no worse then any other candidate. she put her self out there as a fighter in a manbs place and she should not whine. it will be good if she is vp but he can win with out her on the ticket.
as for her debt. when the math shouwed she lost she should have quit before ahe destroyed the party. (and she almost did. and if the so called 18 million voters really supported her, where are they now? oh giving mcsain money. well helf her if you were so in love with her. end of story

Fred C Dobbs   July 12th, 2008 12:02 pm ET

What a bunch of crap!

Susan from Scotts Valley, CA   July 12th, 2008 12:01 pm ET

FIRST OF ALL – Most of this nastiness being expressed is coming from Republicans who have the most to gain by keeping Democrats angry at each other. So don't believe any of this anger post unless you personally know the poster.

SECOND OF ALL – There were bad things said on both sides of this campaign. It's politics. I realize it's hard to see the other side of this but try.

This is not about the Democratic party. This is about what's best for this Country. We know what four more years of a Republican White House will look like. We're living it. IF you think that's what we should continue to have whether you're a Republican, a Democrat, or an Independent, then vote for McCain and we'll hopefully survive for four more years. If not, you must vote Obama. A write in vote or a third party vote is a wasted vote.

DFoster Georgia   July 12th, 2008 11:59 am ET

Why won't the PUMA PAK ban together and pay Hillary's debt? I mean, they seem to be so devoted to her. They want her to run again, so they need to pay her debt. If she loses that 10 million do you really think she'll risk it again? I think not!! You PUMA PAK idiots wouldn't support her when she needed you, and you won't do it if she askes you again. She knows that. And then you think Obama's supporters are obligated to pay her debt. Why should they feel this way? They gave mightily to Obama … they supported him. You gave nothing to Hillary … just a pat on the back and a "Go gettem' Hill!". That won't pay for a campain you idiots!! But you can help now. Give her 5 dollars. If there are as many of you as you claim, she should be out of debt by the end of July.

CATINA   July 12th, 2008 11:59 am ET

If he wants to win by a landslide pick the most exiting women ever.HILLARY RODAM CLINTON.

Cynthia   July 12th, 2008 11:58 am ET

Great to know that she is on his short list, but Senator Obama needs to pick somone who will shore up the areas where he might need help in . I'm sure the areas where he may need help in – she is short in as well.

Tori, Oregon   July 12th, 2008 11:57 am ET

You know I just have to get this out:

Barack Obama was leading in delegate count. So if Hillary Clinton had been able to persuade the super delegates to go over to her then the decisions of all the caucus states and other states would be null and void. Stop acting like babies and accept the fact that WE the democratic party have elected the first African American to run as president. There have been a lot of racial bias on the media as well. I am sure that if Barack Obama had lost there would be 18 million of his supporters on here as well complaing about how it had been stolen. Just get over it and lets get this country heading the right direction. I do not want my Dad to Iraq a third time.

Paula   July 12th, 2008 11:55 am ET

Obama was never anything but gracious to Hillary,even though he was constantly abused by the Clinton's and the media.She should consider it a blessing to still be on the list.Her supporters were and still are phoney's (proof of this is the outstanding campaign debt).True supporters would help with this.I believe most of those cracks were republicans voting in the Dem primary's to set things up for themselves.I'm not a Hillary supporter but I do think Obama will put her in his cabinet.Her sad mismanagement of funds was the thing that turned me off as our economy is in such a poor state.If she were out there with Bill and campaigning for Obama,I would be happy to fight to put her on the ticket,but so far she hasn't proven yet to me that she wants it.(Unless, by chance,this is just the media trying to stir up stuff.)Hillary supporters have to remember 1 thing,if they vote against Obama now…Obama supporters may vote AGAINST Hillary when she runs again,if she does.Also she has the Peter Paul trial pending and the gag order comes off in November after the election.

Freida, NYC   July 12th, 2008 11:55 am ET

Obama must pick Hillary as his VP, otherwise he will not get my vote.

Susan from Scotts Valley, CA   July 12th, 2008 11:55 am ET

Typical White Person – Most people in Europe are bi-lingual. Some are tri-lingual. The idea that Obama thinks it would be a good idea for students in the U. S. to speak the language of our neighbors to the South is a good one. It's so funny. He's being accused of being a protectionist by some people and then being accused of being a "globalizer" (whatever that is) by others.

LUIS BARRETO   July 12th, 2008 11:55 am ET

THE UNDECIDES AND UNSATISFIED DEMOCRATIC VOTERS HAVE NO FAITH IN OBAMA WHO BRIDGE NATIONWIDE DIVISION. WE NEED TO BE SURE THAT WE ARE UNIFIED MOVING FORWARD WHITH A NEW PRESIDENT AND A NEW CONGRESS TAKE OFFICE NEXT NOVEMBER//

Big D   July 12th, 2008 11:54 am ET

Enough with the "Hillary was mistreated" stories. I saw plenty of gentle stories on Hillary and inappropriately rough stories on Obama. I saw plenty of Hillary throwing mud at Obama, much more than he threw at her. I saw plenty of Hillary supporters saying terrible things about Obama, at least as much as the other way. So I really am mystified where this indignation about Hillary's treatment is coming from. And isn't it time to support the nominee and try to win the election against the real oponent?

People really need to stop using the same tired cliches. He is not acting like a Rock Star or Messiah. That is just some mindless rhetoric that people keep saying when they really have nothing to say.

My personal choice – No Clinton for VP. I personally do not believe she has what it takes. I find that there are many choices out there and I wish that many (not all) of Clinton's supporters would stop acting like she is the only thing out there. She's not. Her "experience" has always been overblown. I do find her intellingent and credible but she has a lot to learn. And please stop with the "victim" mentality. She has not and was not treated any worse than anyone else. And, as a female I am tired of us using that excuse as a crutch. If we want to show that we can play with the big boys we have to stop whining when we get treated like the big boys.

I've seen poor treatment and good treatment for ALL of the candidates on both sides.

Texas Trail Dog   July 12th, 2008 11:52 am ET

This just goes to show just how stupid Obama really is. Now he thinks Bill Clinton a man with potential of helping a President on any subject that comes up, the only man as president that has ever balanced a budget, and the only President that kept a stable economy right on into the midterm of George Sr. Term as President. How stupid can you really be to not ask and want his help. BUT THIS DOES NOT MAKE ME UNHAPPY. I DO NOT WANT THE CLINTONS TO HAVE ANYTHING TO DO WITH THIS DISHONEST MAN AND THE DNC. AND THIER SUPPORTERS.

Well I'll tell you. OBMA IS NOT FOR THE DEATH PENALTY. HE HAS SIGNED PETITIONS TO TAKE AWAY FROM THE STATES THEIR RIGHTS TO HAVE THE DEATH PENALTY. HE SAID IN QUOTE YESTERDAY, "THAT ONLY SOMETHING OF A HEINOUS CRIME LIKE WHAT BIN LADEN DID ON 9/11 JUSTIFIES A HEINOUS CRIME AND THE DEATH PENALTY. SOMEONE RAPING A CHILD OR A VICIOUS RAPE RESULTING IN DEATH IS NOT A HEINOUS CRIME. A RAPE AND MURDER OF A EIGHTY-YEAR-OLD GREAT GRANDMOTHER IS NOT A HEINOUS CRIME AND NONE OF THESE ARE JUSTIFIED OF THE DEATH PENALTY. SOMEONE ROBBING A 7-11 ARE A LIQUOR STORE AND SHOOTING TO DEATH OF THE STOREKEEPER IS NOT A HEINOUS CRIME AND ETC. THIS IS WHAT YOU MAY AS WELL GET READY FOR. OBAMA INTENDS TO OPEN THE FLOOD GATES OF THE PENS AND LET ALL THESE PEOPLE BACK OUT ON THE STREETS OF AMERICA." IF YOU WANT HIM AS A PRESIDENT THEN GO FOR IT. IN THE MEANTIME YOU BETTER PUT YOU DAUGHTERS AND WIVES UP. KEEP YOUR [PEOPLE FROM WORKING LATE AT NIGHT. BECAUSE THESE WINE DRINKING MURDERS AND DOPE HEADS WILL BE OUT THERE WAITING.

JC   July 12th, 2008 11:51 am ET

Typical Clinton crap. Help pay down her debt? Please. If all of your supporters were as tough as you think say are, you would have done it already. Barack has already helped her. Fundraisers and stuff. He has ALREADY done his part of what he said he would by even starting. It is not his fault if people do not want to send her money because she doesn't have the common sense to know how to budget, or get out before the ship sinks. So, to the Clinton supporters, put your money where your mouth is or shut up. If you dont want to vote, fine. No sweat off my sack. I'm tired of all of this crap. I have had more mature conversations with toddlers.

Big D   July 12th, 2008 11:50 am ET

Not another "who's going to be the VP story"! Enough already. Let's take a break from VP speculating and let the candidates make their own choices. How many "maybe it will be Clinton" stories do we have to have shoved at us? This is not a new idea – give it a rest already.

John Pittsburgh   July 12th, 2008 11:50 am ET

Woman for Obama   July 12th, 2008 11:49 am ET

GET OVER IT HILLARY SUPPORTERS. I respect Hillary as a person, but not as a politician. I used to admire her strength, but with strength comes grace, and she has none.

Somebosy has to lose. That is life. Stop projecting.

I am a woman and have been for Obama since last year.

John Pittsburgh   July 12th, 2008 11:49 am ET

Why is there always some story about Hillary? SHE LOST, She is just a New York senator begging for money!

Ohio   July 12th, 2008 11:47 am ET

What a crock -Obama – the man for change – right after this week I do not think so – Hillary stay far away from him – the media and him and DNC think he is all that – take no VP position – you do a great job in NY as senator – it is over – leave it at that – Obama can win this by himself – if he loses some votes which he will make no mistake – a lot probably but it is on him and the DNC and the media – not Hillary nor Bill – or their supporters – I say Hillary stay far away from him. – I say you are all going to be surprised and I will vote for him as I am a dem – but if he loses I switch to Independent – I personally believe the DNC and medial made a big mistake here – only time will tell – at least Hillary was always honest about what she said and cared about the middle american and did not have to pander and change the way Obama has done this week – I am going to fillabuster the FISA vote – what happened? – I wont take monies – what happened – he is not a man of change it is still politics as usual and he is just a politician – I wonder what his supporters think now? He has no regard for the CONSTITUTION

ML - California   July 12th, 2008 11:47 am ET

Obama and Hillary are different when they are not together. Campaigning and supporting the Democratic party together may not be the answer

mary   July 12th, 2008 11:47 am ET

Grow up. It was a great race. Obama won. Hillary lost. Hillary has chosen the high road by giving her full support to the DEMOCRATIC PARTY. Odd that you won't.

Marge Hibbing, Mn: I couldn't have said it better. Thanks for expressing the opinion of millions of Hillary's supporters so well.

Melissa   July 12th, 2008 11:44 am ET

I'm sure this will never be posted, but Marge — who played the Good Old Boy game to the "T"? That would be our female candidate, Hillary Clinton. Was I excited by the possibility of a woman candidate? You bet. But, whether she has a female form or no, she played the old style, good old boy politics for every inch it was worth. You can't have it both ways… if you're going to play the "boy's game," then don't complain about being treated roughly yourself. Ironically, it is the male candidate who embodies more of the "female" characteristics that feminism is supposed to support.

Truth   July 12th, 2008 11:44 am ET

If you're for women rights, equal pay, then you must vote for Obama. I love HRC, but I'm not going to vote the other guy just because she didn't win. I going to pick the person who best represents my needs.

OBAMA you have my vote, make us women proud.

Typical White Person   July 12th, 2008 11:43 am ET

Is he going to make her learn Spanish, too? He thinks we need to make sure our kids speak Spanish but isn't worried that immigrants will learn English…

Hello! Have you been into a Home Depot or Lowe's lately? Everything is in English and Spanish because so many of the illegals are NOT learning English.

By the way, Mr. Obama, when I visited France I learned more than "merci beaucoup" because I understood that I was a visitor and RESPECTED their language and customs enough to make that accommodation.

CNN – why aren't you covering this story? It matters!

jrzshor   July 12th, 2008 11:43 am ET

it would be a mistake to pick hillary
but an even bigger mistake not to!

rumpusgoopus   July 12th, 2008 11:42 am ET

The question is, by choosing Clinton, do you lose more votes than you gain?

Alex in MA   July 12th, 2008 11:42 am ET

Which planet do you live in "Marge Hibbing Mn". If you have not noticed, Obama is leading McCain by 8 points! The party is not "dead in the water". We are doing quite well thank you.

Get over your anger and get wth the program. The primary season is over. You can also invest in therapy sessions to deal with your larger issues!

Casey   July 12th, 2008 11:40 am ET

I don't believe the office of VP should be filled by someone unwilling to call her supporters to task for their rude, blackmailing behavior. Oh, sure, Clinton is saying she supports Obama, but she needs to get just as down and direct with those supporters saying they'll vote for McCain as she did during the campaign with Obama. That they would say such a thing as"strong women" just proves that they are hypocrites. Anyone truly for the things Clinton stands for would never vote Republican… for McWar, McMisogynist, McYou'reOwnYourOwn. period.

Until she's fully committed enough to do that, I wouldn't want her on the ticket I am voting for. Lame commitment = a lame V.P. We've had one of those for the past 8 years.

Bill Clinton is sulking like a baby. Get over it, Bill. You were rude and wrong and she lost. And frankly, your reign as President also got us into some of mess we're in, with NAFTA, "free trade", deregulation, etc… outsourcing of jobs.

I hope Obama picks someone who actually brings something other than a bunch of reluctant hyp[ocrites to the table.

sign me: white, female, over 50 and voting for Obama.

Kuse   July 12th, 2008 11:40 am ET

I strongly suggest that true democrats who say they will vote for McCain re-evaluated their flawed thinking…you will get four more years of Bush and the destruction our economy is suffering…you best realize that Obama is the real deal and the republican party has no way in mind on how to stop his campaign and the MILLIONS of new voters the democratic party has registered. Hillary suporters are licking their wounds, get over it!! Support Obama and embrace the vision of change we so desperately need. Unity is the key, strong-arming tactics is not going to work…

WA Hill supporter   July 12th, 2008 11:39 am ET

She'd darn well better be on the short list. This past week has shown too many cracks in his facade. Good thing she hasn't released her delegates. If he keeps it up, she may be able to put them to good use at the convention. He won't be getting my full support until I see who his VP pick is.

randy   July 12th, 2008 11:39 am ET

He is head on right about this. The problem is not picking hilary as VP the real problem is her husband formal president.it makes it more complicating.

Jon   July 12th, 2008 11:38 am ET

Jill should do the right thing by staying with HRC. A much better investment for sure. BHO only wants her money….

MM   July 12th, 2008 11:38 am ET

P O L I T I C S. Please people, remember what this is all about. The DNC didn't treat her "roughly", the media didn't treat her any more "roughly" then any other politician. Obama won the delagate vote so the DNC swung their support — originally which had been given to Clinton as shown by how many pledged super delegates she had at the beginning — to Obama. Get over it. This is not personally about you. This is not personally really about Clinton. This is about a bunch of POLITICIANS — of which Clinton, McCain, and Obama are all proud card carrying members — competing for the presidency. So discuss issues. CNN could we please have a moratorium on Clinton stories!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Jane   July 12th, 2008 11:37 am ET

He should be thanking his lucky stars that either of the Clintons will consider helping him..Makes me feel better that they will be in charge regardless of who he has as VP!

ANGIE   July 12th, 2008 11:37 am ET

i dont think hillary should be vp what experiance does she have with foreign policy she voted yes for war in iraq she said she would attack iran but i think hillary should be part of the administration somewhere i just dont think vp would work with having bill as a husband and him being former president remember obama is about CHANGE we had the clinton years history must move forward

katiec   July 12th, 2008 11:35 am ET

It is time for healing within the Democratic Party, but, do
not believe Hillary should be the VP. Can't even imagine
she would want to be. She can accomplish so much
more in other positions.
Obama always treated Hillary with courtesy, respect,
even when she and Bill were using their anything to
win tactics. Being angry at the media and DNP
should not involve Barack. They brought alot of
attention to theirselves with their negativity and
statements about her opponent. I do not want
a person who will resort to unethical tactics as
a VP. I don't know how she (they) can be trusted.
We have enought of dirty politics from the
republicans. It is a shame that a prominent
Democrat resorted to that.

Obama The Beginning   July 12th, 2008 11:34 am ET

Don't pick that witch Clinton.

Don't make your presidency "fishy".

John McShame, Obama Is Going to Tax You & Cindy, but Not Me & 95% Americans Making < $250,000/Yr   July 12th, 2008 11:34 am ET

this donor need to kick rock or better yet, fall off a clif………..Hillary lost fair & square because she mismanaged her campaign; so you idiots should go pay her debt!

Jan From Boca Raton, Fl   July 12th, 2008 11:34 am ET

If Obama had a brain, but we know he does not. He's running for the President of the United States, but is acting like a rock star.

If he dosen't choose Hillary for VP, he can kiss the election GOOD BYE.

He and his campaign and supporters treated Hillary so bad, I hope she declines if offered the V>P> spot. If she ran as an independant
she may not win, but would take enought votes away from Obama to
ensure that McCain wins. The nasty Obama supporters seem to think
Obama dosen't need Clinton, well lets just wait and see. I know by speaking to so many people, Clinton people will vote for McCain or stay at home. And no people are not going to vote for Obama because
they are democrats, they will vote for who they believe in, or not vote at all. Tell Obama to put that on his race car.

NotPayingHilaryDebt   July 12th, 2008 11:34 am ET

And this is credible who??? … A Donor plz ……… If Clinton is on the list i can guarantee she is at the bottom of this list ..

Marge Hibbing Mn   July 12th, 2008 11:29 am ET

Your're darn right she was treated roughly by the DNC big craps and the good old boy media…AND MAKE NO MISTAKE no matter what obama and the DNC do..we…the supporters will never never forget it.

This party is dead in the water and I bet that members are going to really leave in droves and start our own party.

Noah   July 12th, 2008 11:26 am ET

Thats a crock Mr. Obama. Bill Clinton has nothing to do with how Hillary will conduct her business. She has proven she can stand on her own and actually does better when she has. Give her the VP job if you want my vote.

Typical White Person   July 12th, 2008 11:25 am ET

If Obama is going to reach out to Clinton supporters who were unhappy with the way she was treated by the Democratic Party and the media, he's got about 17,999,999 more calls to make.

Rave   July 12th, 2008 11:25 am ET

I am still not sure if Mr. Obama should trust Hillary and her supporters who threaten to vote for McPain.
Either way Obama will win
