Wow !!

After 8 years of a president (who's jokes include "pull my finger") and the other candidate singing "bomb bomb bomb bomb bomb Iran", we finally have an intelligent, serious man to vote for.

I'm very proud of Barack – we need a Constitutional Law Scholar and a person who knows about foreign relations that exclude the word bomb.

It's time to get rid of the old wealthy elitist white men that have run us all into the poor house.

It's time to go forward with Barack Hussein Obama – not backward with that other McWarmonger.

many of you wonder why mc c did not attend? he does not believe in working week ends………backward thinking……he was holed up in his cabin with lobbysts

Where did they find those chair covers? Good grief!

democrats unite!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! new world new generation.

MCCAIN DID NOT EVEN CARE TO LEAVE HIS BARBECUE TO ADDRESS WHAT IS IMPORTANT .. I WILL NOT VOTE FOR HIM ANY WAY

Put your hand down Obama. You can't bless anyone!

Changing the world is the proper banner for BHO. He is ready to make us to the biggest bunch of spineless people in the world. We will be like most of the Europeans who have to be rescued every time you turn around. It is probably BHO's wish that the Muslims take us over. No fight, just lay down America for "yes we can".

Why wasn't Senator McCain there? He has been whining all week about his lack of media attention…..Why didn't you make the most of this opportunity, Senator McCain?

Oh, McCain wasn't there because he was too busy eating caviar and resting at his cabin in Arizona. Wouldn't that be nice to always take the weekends off when you are running for President of the United States!

I am glad for once that McCain did not attend this event "UNITY O8″. It is a forum for Journalist of color. You know what that means . It means that John McCain would have been heckled and the liberal media would have been all over it.citicizing anything McCain said and talking about how great they thought Obama was. They know most people don't read nothing but the headlines on this article and will think John McCain did not attend a function to challenge Obama. What they want tell you is that this is in chicago and 90% of the journalist there are black and already or in favor of Obama. He would have never got a fair shake . McCain needs to write the black vote off. It is going at 90% for Obama because he is black. Write the black vote off and move on with the Latino's . At least he would get a fair hearing.

I guess Whites journalist's aren't included in this Unity event. I would say that's divisive. What a joke.

when the guy speak journalist really do listen. WHY

why is it sen. obama cannot answer a question with a simple yes or no or at least anything less than a short story that says nothing about the the question he is asked and why does the news media let him get away with it. why does the news media not ask him about his statement in the people's magazine were he admits to having the same views on Christmas and birthdays that the Muslim religion as. he keeps denying he is muslim but does not help his cause by his statements

At this point in the game only an idiot would vote for McCain. Nuff said.

The Republicans have had 10+ years to saturate media, polling organizations and voting equipment manufacturers with their secret, and not-so-secret operatives (e.g. Diebold, Wall Street Journal,). Polls at this point are being corrupted by these operative in every way untraceable to suppress or distort presentation of opinion contrary to their intent.

Obama has a mostly terrific international tour (I think the Berlin speech was too much of a circus), while McCain stumbles repeatedly, is caught lying about the surge, and has his essay rejected by a newspaper that endorses his candidacy. Yet the polls show nothing.

Ignore Opinion Polls for now, and MAKE SURE voting machines are not set up to delete valid Democratic votes and manufacture false Republican votes, as happened in Florida in 2000.

Is CNN the official Obama campaign website with it's 'join the Obama campaign button"?

Senator Obama will be a President for all people.
It is amazing that the media is calling a smart man, with confident , arrognant. I hate to bring race into this, but sometimes I wish some Americans could truly see themselves.

America needs Obama now!

Barack, you know nothing. Please go home. We do not want you to be our president. You have no experience. You have a big mouth. Vite John McCain

I loved it when Obama responded to the question about his overseas visit pointing out John McCain met with the same people he did but yet he gets negative responses from the Republicans. It's the Republicans fault they picked Bush all over again and besides, McCain is too old, forgetful, no vision for our future and a whole bunch of other things lacking, but they chose him.

Ya know, i am a supporter of obama but do we need to know everything that he says and does 24/7? this not news. this is the media who cannot leave the guy alone.

Obama will tell them everything they want to hear like he does everyone else.

Obama and McCain are going to be on 'Late Edition" We just can't wait for the media to swoon over Obama. Make sure you don't ask him any hard questions. They might label you a racist.

Great interview…jet lag and all.
Obama '08

Never knew that there was such a group. Hmmmmmmm

Very impressive performance by Obam as usual..
Why didn't Mccain attend again?

There is nothing to comment

Coalitions based upon racial make-up; exactly what America needs to move past racism hahaha!! What a disgrace!

WHAT DOES UNITY STAND FOR. LETS GET WHITEY. LET ME COUNT THE WAYS.

Great Job Overseas, And Right Back To Work!

Obama 08

While Sen. McCain Continues To Cry, Like An Infant Crying For Its Mommy.

THERE YOU GO. AND YOU CALL US WHITES THE RACISTS. WHY WAS THERE NOT A PRESENCE OF A WHITE ORGANIZATION AT THE CONFERENCE.

An amazing, open dialogue…how is this man doing it…eight gruelling days on the trail and still puts himself out there in front of the media…much different than the confusion witnessed in McCain interviews today.

Thank you Sen. Obama for drawing attention to Sen. McCain not acknowledging he was wrong on his decision to go to war in the first place. Had we not gone to war, McCain would not have to had worried about a surge. Your decision out trump McCain any day.

After all the bashing McCain did talking about Obama while he was over seas. McCain did not even have the nerve to attend the Conference. Mr. McCain you are a punk. And there is no way I want you as commander and chief.

Well done Obama!

"And as one Obama aide points out to First Read, the footage the McCain TV ad uses when saying Obama went "to the gym but cancelled a visit with wounded troops" is when Obama was playing basketball with US troops in Kuwait. "It undermines the credibility of the ad" and proves that the ad is "nothing more than a political attack," the aide says."

It is despicable how the McSame campaign will use false information to attack the next president of the the united states. It just shows that McSame campaing is running out of talking and his campaign is spiralling out of control!!!

OK. I am so confused why the media is still asking Obama about him being Muslim? First he had to renounce and denounce Rev. Wright – a Christian and his former pastor. Now there is questions about him being Muslim. How many religions can one person have? I am glad I am an independent thinker who have come to the conclusion that whatever Obama does he will always be criticized.

I just watched this on TV. It was excellent. The audience hit Rock Obama with every tough question imaginable. Rock was poised and intelligent and answered honestly, not with the pandering of a typical politician.

I Can Hardly Wait Until You Are Officially The President Of The United States!

Too bad CNN couldn't get Joe Klein from Time.

Klein could ask Obama about his statement that McCain is surrounded by Jewish NeoCon fundraisers.

NeoCon.

That's leftist speak for "Jew" isn't it, Joe?

Yep. No race cards being played in this campaign. Right, Joe?

i think we just witnessed one of the most intelligent men,to ever run for president of the usa.he seems to be a blend of lincoln,JFK and MLK ,all rolled into one,with a touch of george washington vision and humbleness.

As usual, Obama spoke in a very thoughtful way, making sense and speaking in terms we can all understand. He didn't back down when questioned, yet he wasn't defensive either. Unlike McCain whom I listened to earlier with Wolf Blitzer, Obama speaks in specifics. McCain always has this condescending grin on his face and sounds like Bush: either his way of the highway.

Obama '08….. a candidate with intelligence

Obama is simply great.
Give us more details please!

Why wasn't McCain there? He was invited. Is he afraid to have a conversation on the same stage as Obama?
