CNN

Is this important? CNN sometime you truly dissappoint me.

BWM – Not only is Lou Dobbs horrible – he has rubbed off on Kitty Pilgrim. She is as obnoxious as he is. They work overtime thinking of nasty things to say.

Get some rest Mr. President.

Some of you Obamabots are the stupidest sounding people I have ever heard, your remarks have no basis of truth or any facts.

This empty vessel, hurt his hip dancing around any actual answers to questions.

The fact is simpletons he LIED about visting the troops and HE GOT CAUGHT, but the media is allowing the story to dry up.

McCain should keep pounding this home as Obama is just another socialist who HATES the military.

No photo-op, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, I am not doing it then, uh, uh, uh, where's my teleprompter and my swooning media entourage to answer for me, uh, uh, uh.

McCain should also see a doctor about his sore champaign! This election boils down to Historic vs. Pre-Historic – History vs. History either way you look at it McCain is History (the past) The future is with Obama

That sounds like osteoarthritis of the hip to me. Wear and tear of the joints that occurs as we age. He may need hip replacement at some point. I wish him well!

If you think that Bush was not experience enough to lead this country, do not vote for Obama! He is just another version of George W. Bush who can bring disaster to this nation because the lack of experience and judgment!

Hillary or McCain!

It's ironic that American's have critized the Media Coverage on President Obama. Was it not the American public that cried out "we don't know enough about Barack Obama". The media is giving you what you've asked for...WHAT'S THE PROBLEM NOW?

LOL

McCain is in better shape than Obama!

HAHAHAHA

Republiscams are funny. When it's one of theirs you people think everything is news. I remember when CNN and other stations though Bush clearing bushes and trees at his ranch was news.

They tried to paint him as a regular guy who does yard work but they didn't show all of his ranch hands that this so called regular guy can afford to employ. Ridiculous.

The fact is people like Obama. He sells news because people like him so CNN and other media outlets who are all about money are going to sell him. Get a clue. They do this for all interesting people. The other fact is McCain is not interesting. His tired old war stories are not relevant. He has no vision for the future because he lives in the past. The American people want a new future, new ideas...they don't need more tough guy talk about staying the course. The days of John Wayne are dead.

CNN Why do you print some of these totally stupid and ignorant comments? Can't you stick with comments that actually make sense and are literate? I want to read the comments of thinking people. Those who actually care about this country and what is good for it. Please chose the comments more carefully and not the ones you do, just to get an ignorant exchange going.

Doctor will tell him to pick a position and lay off the flip flops.

odd. i thought all that walking on water was low impact exercise.

Oh please. Who cares.

NOW they can stop calling him too young. Clearly, he is getting up in age.

Tomorrows Story: CNN reported that Barrack Obama had a hang nail. Actually it was a historic hang nail because it was the first time that a black Presidential nominee had one. The Obama camp stated that Barrack is in good spirits and he will make a major speech about the hang nail later today. I love how the media is trying to win this election by keeping Barrack in the lime light.

James in Ohio: wanted to update you that it's already been reported that the "story" re:Sen O. supposedly snubbing servicemen is a lie started via e-mail by a Republican military person in the US mid-west ( not even the middle east). Those scared ReThugs. & their scared supporters are trying every trick in the book rather than a solid candidate !!!! Next !!!!
Obama 08 !!!!!!!!

Maybe he got the bad hip from shifting his positions too frequently !!!!

Senator, take care of yourself and get some rest. America needs you. You did us proud on your world trip. It's great to be a Democrat! Birthday greetings a little early as well.

Yellow Dog Democrat in Knoxville, TN

OBAMA'S HIP HURTS FROM THOSE THREE POINTER SHOTS.

MCBUSH'S HEAD HURTS FROM TRYING TO SPELL "ECONOMY"

He should see a doctor for his swollen ego and verbal incontinence.

I thought Obama's trip was to see how things are in Iraq and Afganistan. To talk to the Generals and troops. He spent less time there than people on vacation. And where does the importance of going to France, Germany & Britain come in? That had nothing to do with Iraq or Afganistan whatsoever. Just an oppurtunity to give a speech and LOOK Prsidental...what a joke. Obama doesn't care about America, He is for CHANGE...Yeah, change to World Governance, headed by the United Nations. A redistribution of America's wealth to poorer countries thru the UN. Obama wants a new world order where he will become its first King!!!
Good Luck America...your gonna need it.

A Nightingale Sings in Berkley Square I agree with you. songbird mccain (google) If his swift boat supporters want to go after Obama McCain better brace for real history he built to come back to haunt him. And he had the audacity to infer Obama is a traitor. Unbelievable. McCain is a discrace.

Hip problems at such a young age. Let's see all of OBAMA's health records. Bring back Hillary PLEASE!!!!!!

NOBAMA NOWAY

MCCAIN 2008 HILLARY 2012

Heal yourself oh Messiah

Timber,
McCain aided the enemy during his imprisonment in Vietnam to avoid the torture. That's why they call him Songbird McCain, Google it. Turning over on your fellow Americans does not make you a hero, it makes you human

Wow first the man cant have a prayer with god and now we have to know about his private doctor visits come on media i know hes historical being the first african american presidental nomoniee, But this is getting out of control GIVE THE MAN A LITTLE PRIVACY WOULD YOU, YOU DO MCCAIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yes the poor Senator needs a good rest . For starters , just shut his unforgetable mouth .

If you think things are bad now , go ahead an vote him in . Then you may even want to give him a sore upper lip.

Our troops will be home, our taxes will be Raised to New higher Limits. Your electric will be Rationed, an if you go over , you will pay a penality. Iran will have there Bomb . Our flag will be forbidden in schools, an public places. Your Bibles will be tured into Quarms.

So if you don't like your President, that you fought so hard to put in place. Just close your upper Lip , an admit you are the one that helped put him an our Country at risk. An I suppose you are proud of it.

I say No to Chicken Little , the Flip Flop Muslim.

if i was the one walking around all day i will have a sore hip too.

McCain cannot work every day of the week.

We cannot expect him to pick up the phone at 3: a.m.

No more repubs this year. No more Mcwar, Mcsame or McWeak and feeble.

Obama 08/12.

I wish our next president a speedy recovery. He is so intelligent and articulate and he did a great job for us overseas. He actually had Germans waving American flags! Not bad for an 'empty suit'.
He deserves a rest. I already feel sorry for McCain when he gets Obama in person in the debates. I still cannot believe that this was the Republicans' best pick!
Prez Obama in 08!

Aww, too bad. Guess he should have visted those wounded troops instead of gasping for the limelight.

I am an Obama supporter, but this is the news that is just a waste of time.

GO READ TODAY'S NYT ARTICLE ABOUT

INTERNATIONAL REPUBLICAN INSTITUTE of which

McShameless was the chair for 15 years.

GO READ NYT

is that a bum hip or just a BUM thats standing on thin ice, Democratic Congress Repuke Pres.

Hillary U are still the best candidate see U in 4 short years

HIllary 2012

P = Pitiful

U – Unreasonable

M – Miserable

A – Americans

I notice that there is a lot of dislike for Obama, lots of ignorant comments and ideas. Although this is not really news worthy, we all know that at this time we will hear all that is going on with the candidates. I am glad to see that Obama stays in shape, McCain looks like he needs to work out. We all want a healthy president that can last his elected term.

I THINK THAT THE POLLS ARE NOT INCLUDING PEOPLE WITH WIRELESS PHONE ONLY. MANY PEOPLE DO NOT OWN LAND LINE PHONES THEREFORE CANNOT BE REACHED TO BE INCLUDED IN THE POLLS.

I BELIEVE OBAMA IS WAY AHEAD OF MCCAIN BY AT LEAST 15 POINTS. IF THEY WERE ABLE TO REACH OUT TO THE WIRELESS PHONE OWNERS THEY WOULD FIND OUT. ESPECIALLY SOME OF THE YOUNGER GENERATION ONLY HAVE WIRELESS PHONES

I LOVE OBAMA!
MICHELINE SCHULTE

Dude, we love you but cut the basket ball crap. we need you to stay safe to run this country.....so please go easy on the gym and basket ball stuff.
we cannot risk another McBush term.

Thank you.

Anyone seen the Clintons lately?

October suprise?

Obama/Edwards 2008!

Whoops!

sore hip?
NOT THIS TIME.
Relaxe

He is going to see sport physician, not a Geriatrician...
Release your medical records McSame please

Hello CNN / ONN (Obama News Network), instead of focusing on Obama's hip / lumbar / sacral pain including etiology, intensity and duration of the silly pain, and all about his frightening WIFE, can you
please spare a minute to mention LITTLE BIT about the GREAT HUMANITARIAN WORK CINDY McCAIN has been doing all over the world, especilly in Africa where your OBAMA'S fatherland is located OR LITTLE BIT about the meeting that John McCain had with Dalai Lama high lightening the sufferings of Tibetians and atrocities of China. Why you are wasting so much of time on a man with IDENTITY CRISIS, is no one's guess – Obama has Muslim name, but he shied away of visiting a MOSQUE in Kuwait, but had time to play basket ball – he freaks out if some one asks about his connection to Islam or whether his father was a Muslim. WHO IS HE?? We all are concerned about the consequences, because we Germans do contribute our troops (as part of NATO) to your BATTLES. We certainly oppose to let our TROOPS fight and die for the mistakes that you make out of your fantasies.So, stop your BIAS and give a justifiable journalism, and let the people decide.
You (and your MALE CHAUVINISM) can't even imagine of having a talented WOMAN as YOUR PRESIDENT, because you worry that there woudn't be a First Lady. PATHETIC!! Europe is far AHEAD of you.
l Hope you will be honest enough to edit this comment.
- Posted by a German Humanitarian Medical Doctor

Bush was not experience enough to lead this country,
look at the mess we are in.So hillary supporter give
Obama a change maybe he can change this country
direction,I believe he can. Who can guarantee that McCain
will do great job. He only concern with the war that shoul
end in Iraq.

Mccain is the over 70 guy, AND OBAMA'S GOT THE SORE HIP !!!! lol

Who doesn't get sore when they work out?

Now that's change I can believe in.

Geez, some of you posters come off as total idiots. Grow up!!

My comment to CNN– this isn't news. It's more of the worthless fluff that you seem to put out more & more. Same advice to CNN as above– Grow up!! Give us some REAL news, REAL reporting, REAL substance. I sometimes wonder if you've got a bunch of kindergarten kiddos writing for you (but then that would maybe be an insult to kindergarteners).

I'm praying for good health for my next POTUS.

Obama 08

Rather than playing basketball, Obama should be doing t.v. ads and speaking about the fact that the next president may be able to appoint as many as 3 justices to the Supreme Court and how devastating that would be for every American if that president were John McCain.

GET IT TOGETHER BARACK!

CNN, you are shifting to the right as opposed to being middle ground.

Oh well, at least I can still read the comments.

All this back and forth seems redundant on both sides.

THATS THE LIES OF LIES POLL HE'S NOT UP BY 6 MORE LIKE 36 (YES OBAMA WILL WIN)!!!!!

Your comment is awaiting moderation.

8 countries in 8 days and still going strong. It'll take more than a sore hip to keep Obama down!!

((CNN, can you please do something about the long run-on "Names" that push the comments waaaay off to the side and make them unreadable?))

I don't get it – first they won't vote for him because they don't know anything about him. Now that we know his every move, people are saying "who cares."

He is being criticized for going to Berlin and acting presidential in front of 200,000 people. Why is the media not reporting that there were 2 rock bands performing there before Barack stepped on the stage? I am willing to bet that 150,000 of those folks were there to see the bands not Barack Obama.

And about going to see the troops in Germany at the hospital – why was he not allowed to go with cameras? Is it because our government won't even let us see when one of our soldier's coffins is brought back to the states. Not good press for the Bush Administration about his decision to go to war. Maybe if Obama would have been allowed to go with cameras we might have seen some our soldiers with no arms, legs, terrible injuries. All things that this administration does not want us to see. Yea, McCain you and Bush can fool the people some of the time.......

Lou Dobbs is not worth my time watching. His guest only agrees with him because it is his show. They dare not disagree with him because he will have the last word. Not only does he have the last word, he has no manners because he does not let a guest get a word in edge wise. Maybe he should have a check-up, Living with such hatred is bad for your heart.

What's going on with your site? are you shifting right?

o bama should know better he is too old for the olympics and too thin.... must be nice to have insurance../////

Oh how the republicans are so so jeleous!!! Don't they wish McCain could even pick up a ball. Note: I'm aformer republican for over 50 years and have decided to swich channels everytime McCain and his nasty bunch comes on TV. They lie and make things up!! It really helps emotionally because I truely know how rotten the republicans are!!!! Go Obama!!!

Well if McCain filpped-flopped why don't you report it?!!! If it was Obama that flipped you would be reporting it all week. Stop being bias and report the story correctly or I will head over to MSNBC. I'm sick of CNN's one sided reporting. The good thing is that no matter how much you try and make Obama look bad, his poll numbers continue to climb. When is McCain going to come up with some of his OWN ideas, and not Bush ideas. For example the surge. McCain acts as if he came up with that idea when it was George Bush's idea. All I ever see McCain do is critize Obama. He critized Obama's trip to Germany. The only reason why he critized Obama's trip is because Obama had over 200,000 supporters in Germany....GERMANY! McCain come not get that support on his best day..so he is showing his jealousy by critizing the trip. LOL...Come on McCain!!! Even Republican Chuch Hagel said "McCain should know better than that."

PS-There are clips of McCain all over YouTube.com showing how many times he flip-flops. They should change his name to John "Flipper" McCain. Also, his ads suck!!!

Because we starved Afghanistan of troops while focusing on Iraq, 9 servicemen died in a brazen attack by Taliban and al Quieda forces. Where was John McCain’s much vaunted “”foreign policy experience” on that? I know where Obama’s views came down. He’s been arguing for more US troops in Afghanistan for more than a year now …

Hey John, can you make the same claim?

Rest for the future Mr. President is in order.
He must rest so that he can defend himself from the latest malarchy that the McCain people will throw at him.

I got one for ya: Did you see how the president of France hugged Obama several times during their meeting? Maybe that is what caused his injury. Obama should know better than to try to make friends with powerful nations. Shame on you Obama! America doesn't need friends.
You can use that spin Mr. Hannity, O'Reilly, and all of those other nitwit McCain supporters!

Obama in 08!

glad it's nothing serious, I am not a supporter and he has not won my vote, but I don't hate the guy. I get why McCain and Hillary supporters are upset set, I just don't get why Obama supporters are upset he's leading he's got the nomination why are they beign so rude to people

I suppose McCain supporters and those idiot PUMA people will figure out how to turn this non-issue into some sort of negative. I really hate people. They are just so stupid.

cnn.thank you for letting the public know,so that we can include his health in our prayers,which we will not write down,for people to steal.

Its hard to imagine that this is one of the lead stories. The Messiah has a "sore hip" and CNN has it as one of its main articles of the day. The DOW will lose 500 points today, oil will go to $200.00 a barrel, congress will declare a recess and France will declare a "day of prayer.

Barack needs to keep moving and get well soon. God forbid he stops moving all of a sudden . . . he'll have all you "brown-nosers" up his butt and then he'll have a real hip problem . . . now that would be news.

Timber {ex dem} said:

"Pardon me if I don't shed a tear. McCain had bones broken and rebroken as he was beaten everyday for years serving this country. You have a sore hip from touring the world pretending to be president."

Exactly when did you become an ex-dem? Hmmmm....... let me guess, was it when Obama became the persumptive nominee?? I wonder why, or is it all too obvious.

Sooner or later, you're going to have to get off of that way of thinking. Either now or in the Kingdom of God.... Either way YOU WILL RELINQISH that gnat in your heart....

how is this news?!

barack and i are close to same age.takes a little longer to heal,i'm beginning to notice.take it easy a bit,your supporters will be behind you all the way.we'll drag you across the election 'finish line',if we have to!get well!

Timber, what have you endured for your country? Had McCain done what he was supposed to do instead fo partying, he probably would not have gotten captured. I respect his service but that does not give him the qualification to be president of the US. His service did not help him win when he was younger so why is it such a hot topic in his old age?

Get well soon Obama, America needs something interesting to talk about.

Obama 08!!!!!!

Ho-hum. With cameras and reporters in tow, I wonder how they all fit in the doctor's office. Did the media also receive copies of the doctor's diagnosis? As we Americans try to endure the present hardships, we are being barraged with this nonsensical stuff. Hey, I think that I sprained my ankle; anybody care?

Dear Barack,

Don't forget, your names is Barack Obama, not Michael Jordan. Take it easy for a couple of days and rub your hip down with Biofreeze, it really works! Don't worry about Senator McCain, he won't be speaking on any of the issues, he'll just be talking negative about you as usually. that's a sign that he's afraid of you and your campaign.

Obama in 2008!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Lou Dobbs mouth is as big as his body. Maybe his wish was to be lean and trim like the candidate he despises.

Where's the story from the Washington Post telling how McCain sold us out on Offshore drilling for $1million from Big Oil???

A Nightingale Sings in Berkley Square July 28th, 2008 8:48 am ET

It just doesn't make sense to me that we would want to elect Obama as president of anything. He is an ego manic and has a bad hip. He can't shovel sand very well and he certainly can't bowl or drink beer.
And Hillary whipped him soundly throughout the Mid West. Who is voting for this pigeon anyway? Guys with guns from Idaho and Montana? People from civilized states voted for Hillary. Give me a break.

Hope it's nothing serious. How pathetic can these Obama-haters get saying he is not fit for president because he has a sore hip???
Obama '08

CNN have you totally lost your minds. Do you think anyone but Obama's supporters CARE if Obama has a booboo because he chose to go to the gym instead of to see our wounded troops. Maybe he should man up a bit like our brave men and women across the seas.

This is one man who stands up with confidence, never losing his focus, never losing his temper because he is not afraid...because fear is replaced by anger...and self-confidence and stability is replaced by better judgment and long term goals that are met by a better President. One who is much younger, however, with all working cells to perform the best leadership and change for the world. This man is definitely the best to run the country. He has better judgment, a sound mind, he thinks analytically and respects the ethical values of every citizen of our country and human being of the world.

You GO OBAMA !!! 2008 and 2012

I never heard of a basketball players having sore hips? It must be his age..

We are so tired of hearing about Obama and basketball, what's he going to do for the economy, gas prices, and jobs? Who cares about him and basketball, really?

8 countries in 8 days and still going strong. It'll take more than a sore hip to keep Obama down!!

Kevin........so Obama and all clear and fair thinking Americans should give in and bow down to racism?

What a wimp!!

It's not his hip, he's exhausted...Who's the old man now.

Be honest for once, just say that your tired.

horse is just as good!

I agree with Rennae of Va. Well said.

Sore hip. Wouldn't it be ironic if one of the candidates needed a hip replacement...and it was Obama?

CNN:
Why do you post articles such as this while global news sources have focused on the policies of both candidates? The health of Senator Obama is important as is the health of Senator McCain and Senator Clinton, but how does this news affect citizens who face unemployment, homes in foreclosure and who have loved ones who are in danger overseas? Lord Forbid any of the above-mentioned individuals face a serious health issue which may affect the general election, and such news should be reported, but not necessarily this news. This kind of news only serves to bring out more of the hate and bitterness on all sides.

Why is this news? This is on the note like Sen McCain on viagra. This happen to you when you do something that you don't do everyday even if you work everyday. you should try doing about fifty push-up or run five miles then see how you feel. Go Obama

Obama has a boo boo . . . for all those that are complaining why CNN is reporting this stuff, please remember the Obama campaign releases this information either formally or as I am sure in this case informally. Pretty soon the campaign will start letting the public know when Barack has gas . . . that's from all the hot air.

What athlete hasn't gotten hurt on the field??

It is awesome that he makes the time to go out and enjoy himself!

I thought hip problems were for old people...
Can this person with elderly traits possibly be president?!?!

Why is CNN giving free media time to a McCain ad that is inaccurate. McCain also was refused and accepted the decision not to visit a Florida in April of 2008 due to the fact that it was political. The McCain campaign stated that they played by the rules. Also, the footage of Obama was of him playing basketball with the troops in Kuwait.

The three senators also visited wounded troops in both Iraq and Afghanistan announced by both Senator Reed and Hagel.

Yes, give McCain equal air time which means equal scrutiny.

so he hurt his hip? what inquiring minds want to know is what toothpaste does he use?

First CNN publishes private prayer, now this? Get a grip. Some things about both candidates' lives are none of our business.

Obama just keep playing the sport you love to stay in shape! This is a good example for people as a president...to keep in shape, believe in change and hold confidence within yourself. This is what you do!

OBAMA 2008- and 2012!

Great job abroad, Mr. President, giving America some positive presence in the world again. You and your family are always in my prayers. Remain the good and fine person and gentleman that you are. The haters will sink like stones dropped in the ocean and those who are as dumb as rocks will be silenced. The three-pointer was amazing!!! Get some rest.

That can happen when you bend your leg far enough to put your foot in your mouth.

and fox news is supposed to be "fair and balanced"???
They are so jaded...so republican, so unethical-
THEY ARE A DISGRACE!

He's not the one complaining. He is doing what any of us would do. Go to the doctor. The news media are the ones that report his every move. Its a wonder they don't follow him to the men's room. Give it a rest. You (media) will have next 4-8 yrs to follow him around on more important matters.

GO OBAMA

Obama's hip injury is proof positive he is not qualified to be president.

(Just practicing my PUMA/Republican Troll imitation).

Yo, CNN whatsamatter, you guys chicken? I posted a rant about compromised polls four times and you have the "Your Comments are Awaiting Moderation" label on them all weekend on closed threads. Am I too close to the truth?

". . .shoot a game of horse. . ." is not a presidential thing. Get real.

The media doesn't give equal time to McCain simply because McCain has nothing of value to contribute to the human race, let alone America or the campaign. McCain is a useless, old, whining relic. Nobody gives a hoot about him, he's done, in my eyes, he's already done the honorable thing and given up. Long live Obama.

Well, Well, Well...The price of gas has gone down a significant amount and without offshore drilling. Was it do to Senator Obama? I think not! How long is the MSM going to let Bush and his crooked administration get away with their lies and deciete of the American people? Americans have suffered enough under his rule. He and his administraton should be jailed for their abuse of power.

The MSM should be ashamed and do a better job in seizing those conceiled documents the Bush administration has been hiding for the past several years and expose those criminals as they should be.

I know the MSM are overruled by the GOP and big money but you all should not be afraid to let the American people know the TRUTH!

AGAIN...I READ THESE ARTICLES FROM FELLOW AMERICANS AND SEE ONE THING...we are more interested in debating over a person than an idea or forward thinking. I see NOTHING in any comment posted that will help americans out...ALL I SEE ARE WHINERS AND FEEL-GOODERS

Hanna, (PA)
"Likeable Again"??? If you don't like America, then get out.

HOPE YOU FEEL BETTER SOON, SEN. OBAMA!

Timber(ex democrat) grow up quit being such a sore head. We are proud of McCains service to our country, you are such a hater!!!!!

And this is news because....? Do we fear that this horrid hip problem is going to keep this strapping young picture of health from continuing on? Oh, please!

1. Obama you gotta watch those flip-flops, you might throw something else out next time.

2. Why the news blackout on John Edwards? Is CNN waiting for the Drudge Report to make it official?

Can't you come up with at least one photo of this fool where he's not surrounded by a majority of blacks? NoBama 08/NoBama's Ever

funny...no white people anywhere to be found...I know if it was McCain...and all he had was white people...you would have everyone from the NAACP to Jesse Jackson complaining racism!

I'm white...I'm not a racist and I despise anybody who is. But I just thought I would point out something the Blacks point out all the time about the whites.

This country will never change because our stances are too different on just about everything...IF you don't believe me, sit down for an hour or so with someone of the opposite color and chat with them...someone with the same income level and knowledge (education) as yourself and discuss issues plaguing our country. You will find out just how right I am...

I want change, I really do...But nothing is being done about it! The blacks use the racist card when a white policeman pulls them over...even if what they were doing WAS ILLEGAL...and the whites claim they didn't get promoted because the company has to be diversified so a black person was promoted instead...

I hope one day I can walk around my city and see whites and blacks getting along in everything they do...not just a few common themes.

Pray for Americans...Black, White, Latino, Oriental and so forth

It is ironic, that of the two candidates, it turns out to be Sen. Obama who is suffering from a bad hip.

Of course he plays a lot of basketball. That is the one thing he can be a part of, FINISH, and say "look what I did." I haven't seen him do that with anything else in his political career. A speach on basketball has already been done too much.

Google that one!

that stinks....but who cares?

Who is the old man now? Lol.

What's UP!!! CNN John Edward ——being caught an LA Hotel visiting another woman in the early morning hours? What's Up on The No REPORT !!!!!

And to Femi, who said he was trying to outdo any other people in the service? The issue is his service compared to Obama's. There is no comparison, period.

Nightengale, you got it backwards–that man was John Kerry–another phony democrat .

McCain has stated that he survived because when the Vietnamese learned who his father was they rushed him to a hospital where his wounds were treated.

McCain admitted in the U.S. News and World Report article that the Vietnamese usually left other U.S. prisoners with similar wounds to die, not wishing to waste medication on them. McCain pointed out "there were hardly any amputees among the prisoners who came back because the North Vietnamese just would not give medical treatment to someone who was badly injured. They weren't going to waste their time."

So much for being beaten every day.

People believe what they want to believe, be it the truth or not.

Awwww, BO got a boo boo!

Maybe he can lay his hand on his hip and heal himself, since he, according to the press, can walk on water...

Lets see 5 years of torture in the Hanoi Hilton versus a sore hip playing basketball for a photo opt with the troops, you decide.

CNN,

This is a joke right? While bombs are exploding around the world, this is the story you decide to report? I just can't wait for Michelle Obama's gynecologist report.

P.S. I am a black woman – so take no offense!

This just in, Barack Obama took a dump before his morning shower as his intestines were full. How is this news? Get off your man crush CNN.

Is this man whining already about a minor sports injury? I don't hear McCain complain about his aches and pains–multiple bone fractures from torture-defending the USA. Quite the wimp, I would say. Typical, focusing on himself instead of Americans.

I'm just thankful it wasn't aggitated too much while in Germany. I would have hated for him to have the dilemma of visiting an American doctor where the wounded troops are staying. Talk about awkward!

Sweettea --- Why is CNN choosing not to report the story of John Edwards being caught an LA Hotel visiting another women in the early morning hours?
***************************************************************************
Yea!!! CNN John Edward --being caught an LA Hotel visiting another women in the early morning hours? What's Up on The No REPORT !!!!!
*****************************************************************************

Obama is a socialist . He would do better in Europe where he and socialism is loved.

CNN thank you for keeping my comments in moderation and never posting them. you talk about being fair and balanced. YIPE, wrong network that would be FOX NETWORK wouldn't it? the fair and balanced network where you can get the correct news. Not this biased reporting on OBAMA. OBAMA . OBAMA. MAY YOU SINK WITH HIM IN NOVEMBER.

I was upset when I learn that he skipped seeing and meeting our troops and visit injured soldiers, instead he goes and plays Basketball, that's really Presidential.

I rather vote for a candidate that is going to take time and really mean that he cares for us, for example taken the time to visit the troops, they are the ones that we owe our feedom, and I mean to play Basketball too Mr. Obama.

Get well soon! You covered a lot ground over the past week and you need a break. As your overseas mission has come to an end it is befitting to give credit to Sen. McCain without whose help (criticism) it probably would not have taken place. It was heartening to see that an American politician was very warmly received and there were no incidents of booing or flag burning for a change.

polls don't matter–either way.

Obama 08

I GUESS HE'S NOT SO "HIP" AFTER ALL.. HE COULD HAVE HAD IT CHECKED AT THE VA HOSPITAL IN GERMANY. STOP HELPING GIBSON CARRY ALL THOSE CAMERAS.

Maybe he hurt it trying to help his potential VP, Edwards, out of that bathroom in the middle of the night while he was visiting his mistress.

glad to see he can play basketball with the troops yet he wont go and visit wounded ones...

you know, obama's hips don't lie...

What a whiner!! What a true man! Running to the doctor for a sore hip. This is where free health care is going to get us. A wasted trip. Obama stop using your hip so much, the pain will go away. Whuss!

Obama jumped to a significant 9-point lead over GOP rival John McCain – his largest lead since the Gallup Poll began tracking the general election horse race in March. Obama tops McCain, 49% to 40%, among registered voters nationwide, Gallup's daily tracking poll conducted from Thursday to Saturday revealed. The latest survey results represent a "continuation of Obama's front-runner position," Gallup pollster Frank Newport noted Sunday.

I know some of you people talking all this hate for Obama are nothing more than disgruntled Hillary supporters whining about the fact that she lost. Why don’t you all use your energy to get the rest of those 18-19 million supporters to send Hillary $1.00 each and wipe out most of her debt?

All that flip flopping has finally caught up with Mr Obama

He is a loser, can't play ball, and is a huge egomaniac. I can see through him, can you?

Better a sore hip than a limp noodle.

So what? put this in the entertainment section. This is not politics.
How about some reporting on the candidates positions on the issues. And how about reporting on other candidates so that Americans know they have a choice beyond Obama and McCain?

Barr '08!!

Feel better and get some well needed rest. Although they tried their best to set you up you won the battle, now let's get ready for the WAR.

Obama & Clark 08 & 12!!!!!!

Let's see McCain's mental evaluations.
And why are his military records sealed?

To Rennae, VA:

"True personal and moral attributes are cockily displayed" by McCain and his TV ads, spewing LIES about Obama.

And who says there is too much media coverage of Obama? I cannopt wait for his next dentist appointment so we can all see homw many cavities he has, and to learn the answer to the questions on the minds of millions of Americans - Does barack Obama floss?

He thinks he is so great, playing basketball with the troops, yeah,
sure, he can't take it, what a fraud, all show no guts!
He is not as strong as he tries to exhibit to the public,
perhaps, he has trouble, with his bones, they are
strecht to the limit, just like his brain.

Why are there only black folks in that picture, were there no other color people around, or, are there only black people that play basketball with Obama?
Why hasnt CNN covered the John Edwards love baby-other woman story?
McCain will win this election, Obama is a lot of hype- no defination to the "change" phrase

He's The Messiah–can't he heal himself? The people of Germany will be upset to hear that the American they recently inaugurated to be our next President is under the weather.

Will CNN report how many times McCain or Obama released gas after a garlic pill? hahahahaha

Dont CNN has any other politically sensitive news to the readers and viewers?

"I fully expect a stupid and ignorant statement like that here . . .

-----------
You have a lot of nerve! Never in my life have I read such vile, hateful, spiteful, childish, disgusting, ignorant, moronic, evil, untruthful comments about a great American like John McCain - by the Obama "change we can believe in" people - as I have on these blogs. You fill me with disgust and shame as an American - and you reinforce my commitment to NEVER vote for your candidate – EVER!!

At least Barack Obama is an open book regarding his health issues. John McCain on the other hand seems afraid to release his service records and all of his health records. Barack might be getting too old for basketball....to much pounding on the joints.

All that bending over and kissing the media's A_S gave him a sore hip

Boy is Timer an idiot. See his post. Wow...

What a news story cnn. Has he also got a hang-nail we should know about.. Did you get this job thru affirmative action or were you told by your liberal cnn masters to write anything to keep Obama in the news.If his hipe is sore maybe it was because he was on his knees to much for the foriegn leaders. Stupid story, nothing here. I have got a cold should I go down and have that put in the local news.

Get well soon!

Pathetic, media...

Obama '08

He couldn't visit our wounded soldiers in Germany but it makes news if he has a sore hip....go figure!

Obuma take 2 aspirin and go to bed, you must stay in bed for 6 months. rest up see ya round!

Get well soon!! You and your family are in my prayers.

Obama'08

Wow isn't there more pressing issue other than Obama's hip, C'mon CNN you are better than that. What next, McCain was picked up by DC Police because he forgot where he parked his car.......like all Senior Citizens!

TO Nightingale: McCain can release his service records together with Obama. Oh wait, Obama just did highly suspect voter registrations in community organization efforts, no actual service to the country.

I cant believe the hate coming from some of you guys. You guys need to get over it. Also, Timber (ex-Dem) you were never a democrat. I can smell a republican trying to make trouble a mile away. It wont work. A true democrat wouldnt vote for a person who is willing to appoint judges that would repel a womans right to choose, vote against equal pay for women and vote against a holyday for Martin Luthor King. Songbird McCain is going down come November. The republican party will be buried come election time.

What a liar! He was walking fine the whole time. Watch the tapes.

What a Guy after a week long tour of Foreign Countries boosting America's Image he is already back to work on a Sunday for that matter meanwhile McSame is having a BBQ at his Ranch.

ONLY IN AMERICA CAN YOU ATTACK OBAMA FOR NOT VISITING THE TROOPS BY SHOWING A PICTURE OF OBAMA PLAYING BASKETBALL WITH THE TROOPS BUT BLURRING OUT THE TROOPS TO MAKE A POLITICAL POINT!!!!! GO SENATOR MCCAIN, A MAN WITH MORALS?

HATERZ have some courtesy and stop posting negative blogs when a man is feeling unwell. Wish him well for heavens sake. I do not support McCain but i can never blog or comment negatively on his health issues. I was particularly touched by his kid out in the sun without a sun screen remark. So HATERZ wish Obama well with his hip problem as he goes through this grueling campaign!!!

Nightingale Sings in Berkley Square,

I don't know what he told who or what, what would you have done? Could you bear having your limbs broken and rebroken? He went to serve our country and suffered much because of it. He is a good man.
I find Obama to be very self important. Usually people like that are making up for what is lacking. Now, which of these guys do you want for president? I know your answer, but it does not make sense to any logical real person.

Obama will be take care of. Our prayers are always with him and the family.

OMG, he's wearing an Army t-shirt to boot. What a disgrace, this guy's ego knows no bounds. He should be ashamed. At least he got a photo-op there.

Well Obama sure has a lot of cards to play.

First it was the Race card

Then the Ageism card

and Now the Sympathy card.

Soon he will be able to play the ' I LOST THE ELECTION CARD'

He visited a hospital for this? Shouldn't he have visited his primary care physician like the rest of us and then gone for x-rays at an outpatient clinic?

Oh, that's right. He doesn't have to worry about how much his selfishness will raise the insurance rate because he doesn't have to pay for his insurance. We do...

Love thy neighbor, it would be a shame if some of your neighbors fall ill, guess some of you would just turn your heads..always remember to dig an extra hole for yourself...

Glad he had a great check up. I'm all for having a viorously healthy president. McCain, on the other hand, looks like he is due.

Mr.O

Perfect, here is a guy who is trying to make everyone believe that he should be the leader of this country, & that he didn't have time to visit with the troops in the hospital's, I gues he was in a hurry to get back here so he could play him some basketball. Duh, what a moron.

Obama always seems to be playing the victim. Real or campaign strategy?

@ Sweettea, I think it has something to do with the fact that that story came from the National Enquirer. They are notorious for being wrong.

Obama is young,athletic and in good physical health. If he could withstand all the verbal attack and still remain calm should say to all the ignoramous that have negative comments that this man must be a man of God. For all you atheist, Jesus was not favored in His homeland either. He was scorned,accused and abused, but conquered the devil.

This is not news! I had a sore hip last week.

CNN is so stupid for reporting this, wasting my time. Report real news!

You sure it's obama and not Mcsame (the guy who knows nothing else than ATTACK)

Obama is only doing this to gain sympathy, my friends. I am a lifelong democrat but will not vote for Obama in November. I was for Hillary Clinton. Obama is a joke.

Sweettea - Why is CNN choosing not to report the story of John Edwards being caught an LA Hotel visiting another women in the early morning hours? OH YEA!!!! Good Question

Gotta be a bummer for Michelle

This guy really likes to stay in the news. The press eats it up like crazy!
I think its called " hey look at me, I'm really somebody."

Maybe if he had the decency to visit the wounded troops in Germany (I'm not buying the fact that he didn't want it to look political – he could have visited WITHOUT cameras) he could have had a doctor check out his hip over there.

Plenty of time to play and work out, but no time to visit the troops overseas when there is no photo-op. I think the true Obama is finally standing up.

18,000,000 Vote Cynthia McKinney

I suppose another staged event to try to show his "human" side. I surprised he did not heal himself.

And this is news... how?

I am sure campaign released it to answer questions about why he went to hospital. Otherwise there would be all sorts of vile rumors planted (yes, planted) suggesting various other reasons that reflected negatively on Obama. So, yes, it is news. It is interesting how the teh anti-obama folks basically want NO coverage of anything he says or does. Get used to it, just because you are not interested is not a gauge of all the rest of us.

This is really non-news but it does give a forum to people who are very mean and nasty to post comments that are impertinent.

Timber (ex-demorcat -and thankfully so!)
Mccain's service is good. But it cannot be outdone by those who actually were combatants on the field. The rich naval kid who partied all his cadet days got caught flying? offcourse! give me a break with replying every single question with "he was a POW" ...now thats my interpretation!

Sounds like he made the mistake of asking for a favor before asking what he'd have to do in return...if you catch my drift.

OBAMA GET SOME REST & RELAXATION
WE NEED YOU!

-GOOD JOB overseas-Thanks for making America likable again.

Why does CNN choose to let us know every move that Obama makes, we are not interested in his hip, we want to hear and see more actions from Obama. CNN, you need to start showing some equal time, everything is Obama, there is sure no doubt that you are endorsing Obama and try to keep Caffertys opinions to himself, if he wants to give his opinions then he should have an opinion show like Lou Dobbs, he is far from part of the best political team on TV.
I am surprised his mouth hasn't got him in more trouble.

And why is this news? Maybe it is because he lacks substance therefore this is the best you can do.

I wish you well Mr. President. And remember to take it easy a little bit more on the exercising – not everyday, because your body / muscles does need some rest between workouts.

"Why is CNN choosing not to report the story of John Edwards being caught an LA Hotel visiting another women in the early morning hours?"

I second this. I guess the obamatrons (CNN) would rather follow every step obama takes instead of reporting the real news and issues.

Maybe he is over exercising?

All those commenters saying "who cares?" obviously care enough to click on the link.

Looks like the start of another day of Obama praising for CNN. Obama the Great!!!

Why doesn't McCain release his records from Vietnam? What's to hide?

Google – Songbird McCain

This U.S. election really does bring out the worst in fellow Americans and citizens abroad.

It's truly sad just how mean-spirited people can truly be towards each other. True personal and moral attributes are cockily displayed when cloaked by the anonymity of the Internet.

Sad, sad, sad...

Obama should not be doing extreme sport at 46. He should also reduce his 3-pointer show because Republicans are already using it against him.
Basketball players are not seen to be the best politicians especially when that politician is black. So Obama be careful.

This isn't even worthy of lining my cats litter box

Somebody check McCain's pocket for a voodoo doll with pins in the hip.

"I hear there's several Teams looking for a good 3-point shot! Think you can fit that in on week-ends…as you work to secure the World the other five days?"

Bush rides his bike fairly frequently, when he's not out ruggedly posing for rugged photo ops as he ruggedly clears rugged brush on his rugged Texas ranch, and nobody gives him any crap for that. Although I suppose being a skinny athletic guy would make Obama an unsuitable representative of a nation of fat lazy slobs.

This makes the news?

Timber,
McCain aided the enemy during his imprisonment in Vietnam to avoid the torture. That's why they call him Songbird McCain, Google it. Turning over on your fellow Americans does not make you a hero, it makes you human.

I want to hear more about why Botox Barbie's husband doesn't want to talk about viagra --

My toe hurts! Who cares??? I am sure he did not have to wait in line, like everybody else! Precious Obama!

Sen. Obama and his family are constantly in our prayers.

So many bitter comments here. A man [yes, politicians are people too] has a sports/stress injury. So Sen. Obama likes basketball, a lot of men like sports. Sen. Obama is not 20 anymore and while he may work out frequently and keep active, he is not immune to injury. I think if the worst the injury does is change a friendly game with the troops into a game of horse, we're doing well. Heal well Sen. Obama try not to let it slow you down too much these coming days/weeks.

Wonder when McfCain is due for his Hip replacement?

Gas is over $4.00 a gallon where I live. Groceries are so expensive I have to forego some necessary items on my list. The country is embroiled in two wars. What does CNN, the so called news network put up on its ticker? Obama's hip sore. All morning, the McCain camp has been up in arms about Obama not visiting wounded troops in Germany. I don't think this back and forth answers the basic concerns of millions of Americans. You guys in the corporate media can let the Republicans use the troops as political pawns as they have always done. But this does not help the country. The so called mainstream media is just disgusting. You are a disgrace to journalism.
Please try to give us facts on what matters to Americans.

Timber (ex dem),

McCain was NOT beaten! He received his injuries from the plane crash, and then squealed like a pig for help from the Vietnamese military. After then he help them as much as he could to debase our POWs there. Why is it that he only gets support from a handful of Vietnam vets? They remember who he is and what he did to them. McCain is NO hero. He is a traitor and has extorted the Vietnamese government into closing the records on our MIAs to protect knowledge of his treason against the USA. Ho hopes to make up for his evil ways by, "winning," the Iraqi war that he helped start. He was one of the original five who proposed attacking Iraq.

If you really care about McCain, go prove me wrong.

Why is this news?

What about the John Edwards girlfriend story?

I thought McCain was supposed to be the old man

Obama's lead is 49% to 40% for McFossil. Enough said.

It amazes me that some of the comments made on this blog are so hateful. Is it too much to say, "God bless you and keep you well and safe, Senator Obama." You don't have to be a supporter of Obama, agree with his politics, or like the color of his skin to wish a fellow human being well. God has his back!...My God, what have we turned into?

Can you give the guy just a little freedom. This is NOT news, please stop with the BS.

I feel his pain. I'm 42 and still play ball.......and its always a chore getting around the next day.

Hey guys. If McSame gets elected we are in big trouble. I don't no if we can stand 4 more years of Bush.

Yes.....and who cares? What Americans DO CARE ABOUT is that this egomaniac was too busy to stop in and see the Wounded U.S. Troops at the Hospital. Does he forget that thes very men and women are the people who allow his 'freedom?' Was Obama too busy, or what? Afraid to go alone? Or just play ego-centered and selfish?

uh...so... Gas prices dropped. That's more important to me.

Prayers are with you for a good presidency

Osama is such a joke. I can't believe we are going to give the repubs another election.

INSTEAD OF HIS HIP HE SHOULD HAVE HIS HEAD EXAMINED.

I suppse that this is what happpens when you play and not warm up first. All I know is that if it were McCain, he'd need hip replacement!

Yeah Sarah,that is true...but it happened playing basketball.Not while he was walking on water....LOL

OBAMA 08!!

And I thought McCain was suppose to be the first one to head to the hospital considering his old age....guess not.

BHO wants to raise taxes on social security and the sell of your house.

CNN, let's stop pandering to NOBAMA. I am totally sick of him and you!
Take NObama and just go away.

Maybe Obama should have visited the Military Hospital in Germany and had his hip looked at there.

Got his check up ... All is well ... back out on the trail.
and where is McShame...taking yet another day off...AGAIN TAKING THE AMERICAN VOTE FOR GRANTED......
BARACK THE VOTE !!!

Get well soon Mr President!!! and may God bless you.

I hear the snub story about Obama in Afgan was a lie some Utar Captin came up with to gin up hate towards BO. Shame!

Get well love bone

I suppose this is "news" since he is a Presidential candidate and hospital visits are important...but this shouldn't be MAJOR news...hopefully this DISPELS the IGNORANT "Messiah" thinking that some folks seem to engage in...

Who cares! Unless this man is dying, it is not the business of the American people when he sees a doctor and for what.

McCain uses nothing but attacks in his ads now. Negatibecampaigning at his best. He even cut the troops from this video and used it in his latest ad to say Obama cares more for himself than the troops.

Whiner.

LMAO....he needs to see and Doctor for no brain disorder!!!

How courageous the Messiah is. Then again, shouldn't we be mocking McCain for a bad hip?

Who cares....He ought to be checked for mental stability.

to the barack haters.....*yawn*

this election is not about black and white, its about coming together as one people. I believe the next president is a true reflection after have been from two race, and two continent.

GET WELL SOON OBAMA. MAY GOD BLESS YOU & YOUR FAMILY.

GO OBAMA!!!!!!!!!!!!!

i thought walking on water was supposed to be low impact exercise.

Well, thank goodness I know this. Now I can decide how to vote.

No troops here so it's safe place for a free photo op.

Yes, the last time he played, instead of visiting wounded troops because he wasn't allowed to bring cameras or the press corp.

I hear there's several Teams looking for a good 3-point shot! Think you can fit that in on week-ends...as you work to secure the World the other five days?
Mr. President

Obama probably should go swimming instead of playing basketball.

Obama needs to take a break and get some rest. He's definitely not like McWar who doesn't work weekends.

I am sure someone is going to say something to the effect that his sore hip means he shouldn't be President. I fully expect a stupid and ignorant statement like that here. Let's hear how he shouldn't have been playing basketball with the troops. He can't win with some ignorant folks because they will always come up with something petty.

Maybe John will lend him his McCane.

Get well soon, Barack!
We need you to run circles around McSame in the debates.

Barack really needs a week of rest! He is doing too much, maybe he should do like McCain and take the week-ends off!

Obama up by 9 in latest Gallop poll done 24-26

Obama got tired in just 9 days of travel, and needs to see Doctor.

Well, he must rethink about running for Presidency, what lies ahead ?

Becoming a Prez of USA is not something that he may have learnt from his dear friend Rev Wright, talking and boasting and flipping all the time. You need a stamina Mr Bama, a fighter's stamina.

And you think you can compare yourself with any war veteran ?

He should spend more time coming up with SOLUTIONS rather than shooting hoops in the middle east!!!!

I HOPE YOUR HIP GETS BETTER BARRACK BECAUSE WE NEED YOU.

News at its best

Obama/Edwards 2008!

Whoops!

If this was McCain, we'd have about 100 comments about how he is old.

Pardon me if I don't shed a tear. McCain had bones broken and rebroken as he was beaten everyday for years serving this country. You have a sore hip from touring the world pretending to be president.

God Bless Senator Obama and his family and keep them well.
Obama '08

Why is CNN choosing not to report the story of John Edwards being caught an LA Hotel visiting another women in the early morning hours?

Who cares?

Maybe McCain 's other wish came true also. This will certainly slow down his opponent.
BEWITCHED!

Get your check-up and get some rest, you sure did us proud abroad,
I hope McCain met his psychiatrist when he returned from his Colombia drug trafficking trip.

Hope you hips get better Obama

I sure hope it is not cancer. I hope he recovers in about 200 days. Now that is the ticket.

He is a loser and a person with a mega ego.

Poor baby, Obambi can't handle the tough forest.

PLEASE GO AWAY... wake up America. This guy has accomplished NOTHING. If I have to hear him speak and wobble his head right to left, left to right from one telemprompter to the next I think I'll puke.

You are all STUPID. There's no other explanation for it. Anyone can read speeches others have written.

Never in my life have I seen so many people being so fooled.

Why do you report stuff like this? Who cares?
