(CNN) - Barack Obama said Thursday that the controversy over how whether Hillary Clinton’s delegates would be able to vote for her at the Democratic convention in Denver was a media creation — and that he hopes his upcoming vacation helps cure any “Obama fatigue” among voters.
Watch: Obama on the Clintons
“There hasn't been controversy other than what you guys are projecting right now,” he told reporters. Obama described conversations between the two campaigns over convention planning as “seamless.” “It has not been a problem,” he said.
Asked whether he would be content if Clinton’s name were placed into nomination at the convention, he responded “I didn't say that. I said they are working it out, guys.”
Obama also said he hopes his week off to visit family in Hawaii will help address public dissatisfaction reflected in a Pew poll this week that revealed nearly half those surveyed feels they have heard too much news about the presumptive Democratic nominee.
"We are going to correct that this week, hopefully with your help," said Obama.
He pointed to the long primary season as one likely factor. "I can imagine that folks need a break from politics, and they didn't really get one like they normally do," said the Illinois senator. "I think that the majority of people have been fed a constant stream of political chatter."
He added, "I'm sure that having a couple weeks off and enjoying the Olympics is probably what the doctor ordered for everybody."

is he accusing the media of being liar, or ignorant, or racist? welcome to the real world msm.
I just love this man's temperment. Enjoy your vacation Obama and hopefully the media will stop covering you while you are on vacation. Stay safe Mr. Future President.
Your Creation, Mr Obama... Number threat to the USA, is you..
The Black Community are Color Blind....
AS I KEEP SAYING, WHAT A GENTLEMAN AND A SCHOLAR!!!!!!!!!
PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Maybe the media will take this week to inform the public on the other 3 candidates for President.
** Nader/Gonzalez 2008 **
yep.
Obama is having problems and has to be on how he came to be the nominee.... Been selected by the DNC in the thinking that people were so fed up with the present adminitration that BO will just slide into the WH. He is having major problems and we will loose this one.
Hisinexperience and arrogance will doom him.
Party Friction is alive and well,and more so than the media will let on. Hillary Supporters are all outraged,and are not going to be silenced..............period.
"We are going to correct that this week, hopefully with your help"
Not to your fault, Obama – I'm sure you'd like a break yourself. But I'm sure the media will be reporting your every bowel movement...they've already discussed your workout routine and your hair color.
No party friction? In his dreams.
The democrats have lost millions of Hillary supporters who WILL NOT fall in line behind this fake.
Wow, Obama must actually be gaining experience as a politician.
He's flat-out lying to the public now.
In addition, he is taking a vacation to join all the other democrats who apparently do not care about lowering gas prices for the average American.
No. Obama, YOU are a media creation.
The friction is real.
The news pundits keep feeding the public that we do not know Obama, but then you all turn around and do a Poll to see if he's getting too much coverage.
Is it me, or did I miss this one too?
1) The media is playing right into operation chaos' hands
(i wonder why... can u say corporate owned)
2) How can so many people say they are tired of hearing about Obama, then claim to "not know enough about him" ?? Hmmmmm
Yah, right.
What is a phony? Look no further.
a media creation minus the PUMAs. they're full of negativity.
I dont know who they were polling in that survey but it certainly wasnt in my area. I never tire of hear about our future President.
Obama/Clinton 2008
Good for him to take a week off !
McBush should do the same, I definitely believe he must do it because of his age. He keeps pushing as if he was a machine.
Be reasonable, take a rest
I am sure that McCain will fill up this week.
No fatigue...that is a false implication by the media as well. Obama gets and commands respect. McCain does not.
Amen. I hope the media takes a break too. I would want them to continue to work if I thought they may actually cover McShame and all of his blunders but that won't be the case.
Nothing will make Hillary supporters more disappointed in Obama if he and the DNC do not allow her delegates to vote on her behalf. She won half of all delegates and has a right to them at the convention.
OBAMA WILL BE OFF TO WRITE HIS ACCPTANCE SPEECH AT THE DEMOCRATIC CONVENTION. IT WILL BE THE MOST IMPORTANT SPEECH OF HIS LIFE.
TALK OF HILLARY'S NAME BEING PLCAED IN NOMINATION IS A MERE FORMALITY TO GIVE HER SUPPORTERS THE BREATHER AND VENTING THEY NEED AND FOR THE BENEFIT OF FLORIDA AND MICHIGAN DELEGATES. HILLARY WILL SUPPORT OBAMA BUT
BOT NECESSARILY HER SUPPORTERS WHO HAVE FORMED BLOCS AND GETTING UP STEAM TO RECONSIDER ON HIS APPARENT VP CHOICE OF ANOTHER CANDIDATE OTHER THAN HILLARY. THEY WILL NOT CONTRIBUTE EITHER MONEY OR VOTES TO OBAMA IS SHE IS NOT THE VP CHOICE OF OBAMA.
Why shouldn't her name be placed in nomination? She deserves to have her delegates vote for her. They better put her name up or this will indeed divide the party. Obama seems to pander to everyone, why not the 18 million people who voted for Hillary? The press reports the public are sick of seeing his face, so he takes a vacation. I hope there isn't a camera one on him for however long he rests up. Maybe he is afraid the superdelegates might change their minds at the last minute. We can only pray they will. I will write Hilary on my ballot in November and hope all her fans do the same, if they can.
last time he went to hawaii he threw the reverend under the bus. what will he do this time uhm.
WHAT I MEANT WAS NOT NECESSARILY HER SUPPORTER. AND GIVE OBAMA SECOND THOUGHTS AND TIME TO RECONSIDER
HIS VP CHOICE ON SOMEBODY ELSE BESIDES HILLARY.
HILLARY PUT YOUR NAME IN. AMERICA NEEDS YOU WETHER THE YOUNG O.B. HATERS DONT. WE NEED A REAL LEADER THAT DONT FLIP FLOP EVERYTIME. DNC AND WASHINGTON ARE AFRAID OF YOU ,BECAUSE THEY DONT WANT REAL CHANGE.
PUMA is funded by a McCain supporter and has less members than the American Communist Party.
Are you listening Obamamaniacs? Are you listening to your own candidate? Or do you only care about attacking a woman? So very 'positive' of you... You're really demonstrating Obama's message of 'change...'
THIS IS HILLARY-AT HER BEST.
1- First she states she will not allow her Name to be Nominated at the convention
2- Now she's had a Change of Thought
THIS IS THE R E A L HILLARY
I never ceaase to be anazed
After the convention he can say he was in favor of putting her name up at the convention, just like the delegate from MI. and FL he now thinks should count. Wait, if they get full votes and Hillary is put up for nomination would she have more delegates?
That's rich coming from the guy whose entire primary campaign was a negative add blitz against a woman... (don't believe me? Look at the countless anti-Hillary posts by Obama supporters to this day!!!) NOW he says there is no party division. Months after the fact...
ONLY in the Fairy Tale world of OBAMALAND
Sen. Obama is being smart by centering his vacation time around the Olympics time frame so as to deflect limelight which he does NOT bring on himself. Yes, the media IS responsible for that! Thank you sir for having some respect for your fellow Americans who would rather take some time out to enjoy much needed diversion instead of being consistently subjected to frivolous campaign ads! You should try to keep the media at bay while in Hawaii because those who love to hate you will label you as an arrogant elitist as soon as you utter the word “Aloha”. Be safe!
The clintons have such big egos they still cannot accept they lost!!!!
Get over!!! deal with it!!!!
You LOST Hillary
support the nominee and move on!
Once again he's got it wrong – HE is a media creation.
Hillary's angry that HER DEBT has not been resolved...WAS IT NOT HILLARY THAT MADE THIS DEBT ?
THIS ALONE, JUSTIFIES NOT WANTING HILLARY AS PRESIDENT.
PRIME EXAMPLE AS TO HOW SHE WOULD MANAGE THE PEOPLE'S GOVERNMENT!!!!!!!
We've got enough Debt on the Federal Govt.
If Mr. Obama and the O-DNC are so convinced that he will win the nomination, why are they so afraid of Mrs. Clinton’s name being placed into nomination at the convention? Mr. Obama has done little to win Hillary Clinton’s supporters and this is yet another slap in the face to them and is simply another indication that even he knows he does not have the nomination sewn up. Perhaps after he returns from his (inappropriately timed) vacation he will “revise” his position on this issue.
It is. I wake up every morning to watch Amika and Joe scarborough with their hatred filled program in the morning.
Did anyone hear joe this morning bringing Bill Clinton qualification of Obama topic?
Did Andrea Mitchell stop saying Obama is faking the news in Iraq?
CNN is always pushing the Clinton's agenda.
Now he is trying to fool himself!! He is well aware he is going down in the polls and that just the slightest nod from Hillary will cause an earthquake among her supporters and they will all run back to her along with tons of those that were paid off to vote for the "One"
Bye Bye Obama, stay on the beach.
A Message to Sen. Obama and his supporters;
Here's a quote befitting of your whole improbable journey to the US presidency. You've probably heard it before. It's from the great Mahatma Ghandi:
First they ignore you
Then they laugh at you
Then they fight you
Then you win.
So be encouraged!
Dang Straight!
It's the freakin' mainstream media that is the problem. They love controversy and drama which is what you get with Bill and Hillary Clinton. Obama has been in the mainstream media, politically, since December 2007. Once he won Iowa, the mainstream media fell in love...(i.e. with the story of him upsetting Hillary Clinton).
Unfortunately us ordinary Americans have to put up with need for mainstream media to increase its audience, especially since the internet (political blogs and etc) has come out on nowhere to challenge the mainstream media (I sense a bit of irony here).
Hopefully Obama can go on vacation with CNN, FOX NEWS, MSNBC, ABC, CBS, and NBC not giving us a day-by-day, play-by-play of Obama's vacation.
There will be plenty of political drama to report on in the next two weeks at both party conventions with the Hillary Clintonites and Ron Paul-bangers causing mayhem.
Of oucrse he did not say that he will be content with Hillary's name on the ballot as he konws that a substantial amount of her delegates will vote for her. he is gettig weaker and weaked as he is an empty suit and his real colors are emerging as the good student he is from the corrupted school of Chicago.
And yes we are tired of this junior and arrogant senator who cares more about his image and how his face will look in one of the bills. I wonder who he thinks he should replace?
You should stay in Hawaii with your family and named yourself the king of Hawaii
CNN) — Barack Obama said Thursday that the controversy over how whether Hillary Clinton’s delegates would be able to vote for her at the Democratic convention in Denver was a media creation
Namely Rush Limbaugh
Forget it. Obama supporters never listen to their own candidate. They only listen to myths created by the media. They are filled with rage against Hillary because, according to the mdeia, she's responsible for every crime ever committed in the world throughout written history. Their rage makes them deaf to even their own candidate's words.
Obama says 'there is no anomisity between me and Clinton' but all his supporters hear is 'Hillary screwed everything up.' Obama says 'there is no division amongst democrats, it's all created by the media' but all his supporters hear is 'Hillary divided democrats and is bringing down the party with her.'
I agree. the so called cotroversy was created in the media
Thank you,
My doctor ordered you go into hiding for 7days and then come back to get your vote. I have watched too much of you but you always make me proud to be an American again!
Liar, liar pants on fire. See, yoou even told the media where you would be, so they can follow you.
It's the media and the Clinton's and the Republicans who are responsible for Obama fatigue. Why don't you guys stop trying to dissect every word that is said and stop trying trying to make up stories to fill your 24 hour news cycle. I am also tired of looking at John McCain's snarly face every time I turn on the TV. If he gets elected I will have to keep my remote control handy like I have done for the last 7 1/2 years. The other 50% of Americans would like a President that they can stand to see and listen to. If people are tired of looking at Barack Obama they can do like I do. Change the channel! I also plan to vote for him in November. See ya then.
Agreed!! May God bless your good soul!
Media creation? Just read through today's CNN ticker blogs.
Count how many apparent Obama supports call Hillary supportes scum and loonies and crazies and idiots and everything they call the Repbulians. Then count how many apparent Hillary supporters are calling Obama supporters the same thing.
There are two protest marches planned for the Democratic conventlon by Hillary supports to protest Obama.
These are facts. It's going to be quite a show.
If the hate intensity was not so great it would be fun to watch. But they just nabbed a guy who made a death threat against Obama today. That is what comes from all the hate.
If Hillary is planning to run again, she is making a big mistake. There are many of us that would personal campaign against her and destroy that crazy woman completely. Hillary will never be president because we will never forget.
The only cure for "Obama fatigue" is if he drops out of the race! He said to donors back in June that he didn't want any negotiating done at the convention. So, based on that statement he will not let her delegates vote for her.
When Senator Barack Obama was in Israel last week he followed tradition and left a note to God in the crevices of the Wailing, or Western Wall. That his note was taken from its repository and made public is an interesting turn of events. And even more interesting in that the note and its public exposure was indeed planned by the Obama Campaign. That's right – planned!
It was all revealed when a spokesman for Maariv, Israel's second most popular newspaper, went public by saying "publication of the note was pre-approved for international publication by the Obama campaign, leading to the conclusion that the 'private' prayer was intentionally leaked for public consumption." As reported on Israeli Insider.com "A Ma'ariv spokesman was quoted in the Jerusalem Post as saying that 'Barack Obama's note was approved for publication in the international media even before he put [it] in . . . '"
No Mister Obama... above is one of many reasons people don't trust you and will not vote for you.... many of which are Democrats!
Hillary's people are going to cause all kinds of havoc in Denver-can't wait to see this.
eh, most of the attention on Obama is McCain's fault with all the ridiculous and juvenile ads. Obama, you go rest and come back safe so we can have a great campaign and elect you president.
The Clintons have no use for Obama since he is not getting their debts paid off. They and their supporters are going to sabotage Obama in Denver. Watch and learn.
OBAMA.............enjoy your vacation with your family. We will never tire of you.
see you when you come back Mr. President!!!
Slow news day. I would not put it past Hillary or her supporter to backdoor Obama and try to steal the nomination. She has been laying low for weeks, no doubt plotting with Penn, Ickes, McAuliffe etc. I don't trust her as far as I could throw her. She just want to hear her name said in nomination for what. So her suspect 18 million can cheer. I wonder how many PUMA's will show up if they are charged $5 a piece to march,(2 for Hillary, 1 for bail when they are locked up for disturbing the peace and 2 for Denver police overtime).
You deserve a break. Enjoy your family and vacation. Then hurry back to us FiIRED UP AND READY TO GO.
I will only say 'have a nice vacation' and see you when you come back. I have a present for you for your 47th birthday,
A vote!
Clinton needs to be on the ticket otherwise NObama 08 and it will be my first time voting Republican.
I have always said the Media created a whole lot of the mess the candidates are dealing with.
The media also has republiucans and democrats alike that are willing to derail Obama..
Today we see Wolf Biltzer talking about something smells about the Clinton-Obama on the road.
Well we all knows what smells it is "Wolf Blitzer TOP LIP" It stinks
Right Senator Obama. Like "I don't mind including FL and MI as long as it doesn't change the outcome."
By the way, how is it that Hillary Clinton has ALREADY raised the $500,000.00 for YOUR campaign...yet YOU still have not raised the $500,000.00 to help her pay off her campaign debt, that you agreed to do?
a vote for clinton is a vote for mc cain america please remember
this
The media is in love with Obama, why would they try to start a friction between Obama and Hillary?
keep saying that Obama, it's no myth that I'm a life long Democrat who would never vote for you. I find your use of race against your opponents disgusting. How you could paint the Clintons as racist for your own gain was truly horrible, and is not what I was taught we do as Democrats. People will figure him out eventually, he's a fraud. This country elected George Bush twice, we obviously don't make the best choices, Obama will be another Bush, a total failure.
The "talks" have been going on since June with no resolution. If Dean and Pelosi weren't so hot to keep Hillary's name out of nomination, then they would have reached a decision. Currently, the Obama and Clinton supporters asking for Hillary's name to be on the ballot, have gotten no answers from Pelosi on how to properly submit the petition.
It wouldn't be in the news, if Pelosi wasn't inept. But it makes Obama look like out of touch with reality stating it is a media creation. Perhaps he is a media creation too?
Well, McCain will keep reporting on Obama. Maybe the Pew audience should complain about too much McCain! Too much negative McCain at that! Why don't they do a poll about McCain's negative campaign?
Obama should have challenged McCain to do the same, take a week off so that the American people will enjoy quiet olympic and cheer for the American athlets.
The biggest problem the dems have with intraparty conflict is the medias desire to create rather than report the news.
JUST LIKE SO MUCH OTHER BS. MEDIA HIPE!!!!!!!!!
Sure, a media creation. So I guess that changing my party affiliation from Dem to Indy because of Dem party shenanigans was yet another media creation. Nice try. I won't be contributing to the Dem party coffers until all the bozos have left the tent. And there are many more out there just like me...
Obviously Obama doesn't read political blogs. The PUMA/Anti-PUMA/Obama/Hillary mutual bashing shows no signs of letting up.
"AS I KEEP SAYING, WHAT A GENTLEMAN AND A SCHOLAR!!!!!!!!!
PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Wanda, you really should seek professional help.
Oh gosh, the Messiah is off on Vacation so that we don't get to hear much from him because we are sick of hearing from him? -lolol
Some people are just plain angry and bitter.. yes B I T T E R. Some of you people are complaining that you hear too much about Obama AND complaining about his retreating from the lime light.
How can you have it both ways...
I for one hope that the media focuses on McCain for once. This guy say things so dumb they wouldnt even come out of Bush's mouth. Well... they may but you get the point.
PUMA types: ENOUGH!!!!!!!!! All this nonsense that somehow Obama masterminded some sort of nefarious theft and manipulation of the Democratic nomination process, fueled by some sort of coordinated and nasty campaign of mysogeny and nastiness directed at HRC, would be laughable, if it weren't for all of you continuing to beat that drum to death.
There were rules established before the primaries started. Obama followed them. He eventually won enough pledged delegates and received the committment from enough "Superdelegates" to earn the nomination. He won. With or without full votes from MI and FL. YOU ARE THE ONES WHO CLAMOURED TO CHANGE RULES MID-GAME. STOP YOUR NONSENSE!!!
Quick question: Have you ever dreamed of acting like this in the past? Really! No? Gee, you mean you always previously coalesced behind the Democratic nominee even if your original choice lost? Well, then, what's different THIS year..... hmmmmmmm??? Could it be because the guy is BLACK??
Scream all you want, but either you are racist, or you don't geniunely support the policies that HRC advocates.
Obama's indulgence of HRC's strident supporters is admirable, but they have GOT to get over themselves. Marching through Denver will create a horrible spectacle that will appear in every pro-McCain ad between then and November. Obama supporters would unquestionably supported HRC had she won. But she didn't. It is time to unite behind Barack, and to stop your idolatry of Hillary.
Watch how we see all those Hawaii pics of him while he's on Vacation & he thinks it'll help cure the Obama fatigue....Oh please. The more we see & know of him, the worst it is so pls bring it on!
How can someone find it so easy to lie and grin at the same time?
There are a lot of things that are media created
Although I think he needs a vaca...i think this is a bad time
this is when McCain will announce his VP choice!
At this point I think he's going to put Hillary on the ticket!
She won the election and Obama is only the presumed nominee, the DNC should take a good look at the polls and then have the Super Dictators cast their vote.
Dem for McCain
Enjoy your family and your vacation. Hurry back to us FIRED UP AND READY TO GO.
He's right...no one in their right mind would pick McCain over Obama after seriously supporting Hillary based upon her stand on the issues. Their near identical to Obama's and night and day's from McSame's.
I was a Clinton supporter mostly because she is vetted and the most qualified to lead this country back into economic success. Obama has NO real EXPERIENCE he has nothing you could point to and say Obama accomplished something. Look at his voting record and his lack of experience is demonstrated there.
I still believe he is a Pied Piper and he will not have my vote.
I am going to write Hillary's name in.
Man, I love this guy. He speaks to the Media on a level that is real. He doesn't dismiss them with a wave like McCain. How can ANYONE call this man elitist when he is so approachable and down-to-earth. He's a realist.
Wake up people. Clear your head. Anyone running for the highest office in the world has cause to seem elitist. And don't tell me McCain doesn't act all high and mighty. Have you heard that man talk to people. McCain talks down to people, like they're beneath him. It makes my stomach turn when I hear McCain.
hillary ran a crappy campaign. Stop crying and get over it already, everyone thought hilary would win including her so she mailed in her campaign. Obama is very charismatic and took everyone by suprise once he started winning the crying started first from hilary then from the PUMA (such an original name for old women with no life) people. Stay home if you want to and prove to the rest of the world that we are a fat old country who the rest of the world has past by.
I encourage all who feel Hillary and Bill are trying undermine Obama to e-mail Pelosie or the DNC. Tell them what you think and how it make you feel as a Democrate.
Let democracy ring, Obama. Let Hillary put her name in for the nomination. What are you afraid of? After all, you are the Messiah !!!Denver is going to bring some surprises. Hillary supporters are not going to sit idle and lose the election in Nocember. Hah !!
Party friction is alive and well
until the black mailing Clinton get their debts paid off..
Why dont those 18 million cracks all give he a buck so she can go away
Even though Obama is clearly the best candidate, it will be very hard for him to win. The fact of the matter is, by being African American, Obama is giving McCain a 10 points. Look at the reality:
1) Ronald Reagan was known to be a great communicator. Obama is even a better communicator, but now he is called a celebrity.
2) Obama trip to europe was a huge success. What country wouldn't want to have a president that is so popular around the world? However, this does not help Obama. They say he is too popular to lead. When he looked very presidential, they say he was acting like he was already president.
3) Now the media is saying people are too tired of Obama ... like it is Obama fault.
4) Obama judgement has been 100% accurate in regards to iraq ... so it is clear that judgement is much better then experience. However, they talk about him being inexperience. Here is a man who has defied so many all odds: 1st) First black president of Harvard law Review. 2nd. Beat Hillary Clinton for the Democratic nomination ... which we all thought would be impossible. 3rd) Here is a man who has run a very successful campaign by any stretch of the imagination. 4th) Here is a man who has re-defined the meaning of campaign funding. Based on these facts, it should be obvious to a duck that obama is clearly a born leader. He has something special.
Even Micky Mouse can lead The US. It is all about who you have around you ... and you can say obama is all talk and no substance, but there is no getting around the fact that he knows how to pick a good team. Personally, I am 1000% sure Obama would take America to another level ... a much higher level if given the opportuinty. The signs are all there.
Finally, at the end of the day, Joe America is Actually looking for a President that is more like them ... so Joe America is actually looking for a John McCain. If Obama was white, he would be leading McCain by 20 points. So the reason why the Democratic party is doing so well and the presidential race is so close is the issue of race. Hillary and Bill Clinton were right when they said that Hillary would have a better chance to win. hey knew that race would hurt Obama.
Yeah, right. Just 1 week of relief after 1 year of 24/7 MSM coverage of Obama won't cut it. This non-stop coverage of Obama makes many people want to gag. And. . .I'll bet every move of his week-long "vacation" will be orchestrated and reported daily.
PUMAS = Closet Republicans and un-informed folk.
PUMA is actually PUMAD – Pubs Under Mask As Dems.
I'm not tired of you Senator, but have a good vacation. You deserve it.
O/08
To Jimmy,
Hillary supporters didn't contribute to her campaign b/c if they did she wouldn't be in debt, so with that said we don't expect them to contribute anything to Obama.
To Gary,
Stop acting like you are a supporter of Hillary. We all know you just someone the GOP is paying to keep this crap up. And if you're not part of the GOP just say that you have a problem voting for black man.
I am sorry but being 1st Lady or serving in the military doesn't mean anything to me. I want a President that will have good judgment and doesn't owe everyone in Washington a favor like Hillary and McCain.
Don't count on a vacation Senator. If you want to give the American people a break good. But the media will not, they're going to follow you wherever you go inspite of their report that the public is tired of you. Let's see if the media can give it a rest, as well.
O/08
ALL ANTI- DEMOCRATIC BLOGGERS ARE MEANINGLESS AND HAVE NO POINT OF VIEW. ALL PUMA REPUG SHOULD TAKE A PERMANENT VACATION.
IF ELECTED, OBAMA WILL BE THE BEST THING HAPPEN TO ALL AMERICANS.
DID YOU KNOW MCSANE CAMPAIGN MANAGER LOBBY FOR THE MERGER OF AIRBORNE & DHL AND NOW THE OHIO PLAN IS CLOSING COSTING AT LEAST 8,000 JOBS. MCSANE ALSO PLAY AN IMPORTANT ROLE IN GETTING THIS DEAL CLOSED. GO TELL YOUR FRIENDS AND NEIGHBORS THE GOOD NEWS!!!
Denial!!!!
This Hillary supporter cannot support Obama. I will support McCain, a man of true convictions, one that has had a record of bipartisan accomplishments, one that supported the surge when many said the war was lost, one that will not look Americans in the eye and tell them truth, unlike Obama and his denial of his "refinement" of Iraq.
this is a perfectly well timed vacation. The olympics are coming up, which will take over most of the newscycle. He definitely needs a vacation, after all he's not taking saturdays and sundays off like mccain does most of the time. And, he never got a real break between the primaries and now. He took easter off (how shocking!) and i'm guessing that for christmas he was in full Iowa swing. He's not a robot, he needs some time to think, especially since he actually has some input into what he says everyday (if you don't believe me, checkout his sample test answers from his days as a constitutional law prof, the man can write!). He can't take any breaks after the convention... so lay off!
Lyle with people like you Obama could will never do enough for Queen Hillary. It's a shame that some of her supporters think they have the right to tell Obama what he can and can not do. NEVER have we had a nominee that was suppose to be MADE to do what you say. I bet we can guess why. Most of you are not even on his level, that's what so sad about it.
Hillary made her own debt........don't understand why that's still a issue anyway...18 millions supporters (and you) should have had her debt paid in full by now...........that show's all mouth and that it was true, most of them 18 million were republicans, who now send their money to McCain.
Go and enjoy your vacation Obama, Hillary vacationed owing 15 million + in debt. I guess while you are on vacation we should prepare ourselves for McCain whining act day after day after day.......
I wish you and your family a blessed and fun relaxating vacation.
LOL . . . Dumocraps . . . you have got to love them.
Especially the Obamariginals . . . Yes We Can ! Yes We Can ! Yes We Can ! . . . and they want to run this country.
They can't even run a convention let alone their Party. You will need more than a couple of weeks to fix this mess . . . here comes Hillary.
Vote McCain 08
Once again Obama is out of touch with the American people!! There's clearly friction between his dumb supporters and Hillary's supporters.
Yes, Senator even though you said you're vacationing, the media will hound you, but be gracious. They have to make a living. Go visit your sister and try and have fun.
Tell that Love guy not to get in your pictures. The last time you went on vacation, that Love guy was lounging with you and Michelle. I said, what kind of vacation is that?
O/08
Yeah PUMA! Keep up the good work!
It's like living in the Twilight Zone.
No friction in the party? He is truly delusional.
PUMA!
Why can't Hillary's supporters retire her debt. they are so in love with her – right?
I pity the Clinton's – they can't get over themselves. Why should everyone have to baby sit the Hillary supporters?
Hillary's political career is just about to be over with. And all because of her and Bill's ego. It's bigger than the jobs, housing crisis, economy, and bringing our wonderful military home. It's always about them. Pathetic.
If Hillary would grow up I would love to see her as the VP.
BARACK-HILLARY '08 !............PROBLEM SOLVED !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Excuse me Peter E, but that "woman" threw everything at the Senator, including the kitchen sink. He had to DEFEND himself, not attack her. And we didn't know Hillary was off limits. She's the one who said, "If you can't stand the heat get out of the kitchen". Well he withstood the heat, and he didn't leave the kitchen. Go lick your wounds somewhere else, it's not going to fly over here.
You're wrong, once again.
Obama is a pollyanna and a prima donna. Delegates need to place Hillary Clinton's name into nomination. Read the article in today's SF Chronicle in the editorial section. Basically, Obama is not the man for the job. Does he even know what he is talking about? The author articulates what many are thinking and feeling about Obama.
Enjoy your vacation Obama. The other guy takes every week-end off and had 4 months to wander around talking to himself.
Let me see, 7 months x 8 weekend days per month = about 56 or so days the other guy has had off – Hmmmmmmm. Watch the wise guys start making snide remarks.
I am 100% for Obama, but I think he plays to the Clintons too much. Bill Clinton is out there having his tantrums and Hillary still wants the thrill of cheers, and Obama says these people are just great. I know he wants things to appear smooth so Hillary's backers will be happy,
but enough is enough.....it is getting to a point where I say, just let happen what will happen with her malcontents, and that includes good old Billy boy.
No, the last time he went to Hawaii, the Reverend threw him under the bus. He simply responded. Do your research.
I'm a disenchanted Republican voting for Barack Obama. I'm also disenchanted with the Democrat Party. The media can stir up the mix till it boils over, and it doesn't matter. There are voters like myself who see Barack bringing change for the better to the country and to both political parties in the process. I ignore the media gossip, because that is all it is. A rift at the Democratic convention, won't bother me, I will still vote for Barack. With the Democrats that vote for him, along with Independents and the disenchanted Republicans, he will win.
Obama is so full of BS. He LOVES the rock star attention.
If he gets to the White House, he'll suddenly want a vacation, because there will be real work to do. Just wait till the country shouts out: Shut up with the speeches man ....DO SOMETHING NOW.
No more books...no more big rallies... no more celebrity parties and magazine photo-ops ..... change something - including my mind that you were ready to lead ... and all the kids and black folk in the country were right about you ...
Still hoping you pick Hillary as VP ...dude. I'll even send some money your way, man, if you do.
This is the media speaking. So it's our fault that there are divisions in the Democratic Party. Get a life, Barak, You created those divisions to defeat Hillary and now you are using them to beat McCain. Fortunately we will not buy it this time. We know who raised the Race and Gender card. Blame the DNC for you problems and also how the Democrats divide people into categories of Americans. I am a Republican and 100% American, although the Democratic Party
still has me labeled as an Hispanic American.
How do you become an unhyphenated American? You step off
the boat on Long Island. But if you were already on this continent, you are a hypenated American forever. Native and Proud.
he was created b the media and now they are addicted to him. they are hurting him badly because they mention him every five minutes.
@Al
Neither you nor the DNC can tell us who we have to vote for. This isn't a vote for Hillary but a protest against the way she's been treated. You get over it – there are millions that feel this way and your whinning isn't going to change that.
Obama, you are a media creation!
They gave you the hype and biased coverage to make you nominee and now it is time reality sinks in and this empty suit unswervingly loses in November.
If my brother picks Oprah as his running mate, my dreams will be fullfilled. Long live the "Os".
PUMAs just had a conf call...all 50 of them.
Buzz off media.
Why all these hatred on Mr. Obama. You really have to be blind and full of dead bones not to appreciate a scholar like Barack wanting to be the next president. God help all these hate filled individuals out there. You can not fight or derail destiny. Can't wait till November. In the maintime please make a donation today to support change coming to America. Thank you for your support. Blessings!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
P.s Have a nice vacation Barack. Spend time with the wife and those lovely kids.
That's a rich statement coming from him since Obama IS the media creation.
In a McCain campaign "Economic Communications Plan" that was obtained by the Huffington Post, an aide to the Senator lays out several themes, tactics and objectives to shore up the Arizona Republican's standing on the economy and paint Barack Obama as a "job killing machine."
"Our polling tells us that Americans are still not tuned into what the candidates might do to fix the economy," reads the memo. "We have an opportunity to fill in that gap."
The strategy, which was authored by Taylor Griffin - a veteran of the Bush White House and Treasury Department who serves McCain as a senior adviser - seems built around traditional themes. The McCain campaign will paint Obama as being "aligned with trial lawyers" and "unions (card check, trade, education reform)," and push the frame that he "raises taxes" and "will kill jobs."
In contrast, McCain will be positioned as a bold leader on economic matters, someone who has a "record of taking on corporate interests" and will "fight speculation driving up prices of oil and food" as well as "the lawsuit culture." per Hunt. Press.
Sen. McCain and his Evil Empire!
Same OLD Washington Junk
I don't care what is done at the convention. My parents and I from PA will never vote for Obama.
No party division? Seems that Obama is attempting sound confident and in-charge, but I wonder if he is going to drive even more of those Hillary supporters to the other side of the fence with this and the Democratic convention nonsense that has been planned. I was an independent that switched parties to vote in the primary because I was interested in Hilliary and very nervous about the front running Republicans at the time.. but, wonder, of wonders, the Democrats managed to boot it and nominate the most liberal of it's contenders, and the Republicans nominated perhaps it's most flexible. (Please, partisans, no debating it, McCain crosses party lines far more often in votes, and has a very long track record.)
I wonder if the DNC, smelling blood with the tremendous dissatisfaction with the GOP, thought that they could run a super liberal for President and not face an enormous amount of resistance? I am furious with the Democrats for failing again to run someone that can truly contend with the Republican machine in Washington. Hillary could have done it, but Obama has nothing close to that kind of experience, and for all the talk of polarizing figures, Obama, because of his policy ideas, will become a lightning rod for Republican opposition, and they are far more organized and adept at confrontational politics than the Democrats. If Obama wins, it's going to be very close, and I have a feeling that may usher in a very, very ugly four years of wrangling in the capitol.
My family was for Obama. But not anymore. He play race card. My family is white, so he make bad person and racist if we are not for Obama.
The media has a vested interest in making this election seem closer that it actually is. Them and their crazy polls! Jesus H. Christ!
NEWS ALERT: RECENT POLLS SHOW POLLS THIS SEASON ARE NO USE
many of Hillary supporters were republicans who will be voting in there party in the election.So it is time that we look to the election win come November. many voters are stuck in the mud and can,t get out.if the democrats do not win this election many voters will not have confidence in the system period and may never vote again.Ther is a whole new generation watching this election that will be voters in the next 10 to 12 years from now and we need to instill in them that the democratic system is for everyone not only the few. One Clinton speaking at the convention is enough.
My family was for Obama. But not anymore. He play race card. My family is white, so he make us bad person and racist if we are not for Obama.
I think Hillary should be put in nomination process at the convention. If Obama clearly has more delegates, what is he or his supporters afraid of? The voices of voters need to be heard. This democracy in action. I am not happy with the fact the media decided not to cover what I consider Obama's biggest flip flop. First against and now for full Michighan and Florida representation because it benefits him now. If he was for full representation in March, he would not be the "presumptive" nominee and we would probably go to the convention to decide anyway. I think Hillary supporters have a legitimate beef.
The media kept pushing the Hillary Clinton issue. "The question IS HE DOING ENOUGH?????"
Now that the job seems to be complete – SHAME ON YOU
Lay off the Clintons.
They are still Democrats & we should offer them a big part at the Convention. Hillary promised to support Barack and I trust she will deliver.
Going dooooooooooown in November...
you make me sick
Remember there are still 90 days until the election. The media does need stories to keep everything interesting. But, it's not just the media.
I think Hillary is way too smart too sit back and let this election be handed to the Republicans because she will then experience a horrendous backlash. And, frankly, anyone who truly supports Hillary (and I voted for her in the CA priamry) knows that she will support Obama to be president rather than risk another 4 or 8 years of Republican rule. Stevens and Ginsberg are rumored to be ready to retire. Do we want another Scalia, Thomas or Alioto on the Supreme Court?
We must all unite to set this country right. McCain embraces more and more Bush policy every day, no matter what he tries in distancing himself from this failed administration.
Sherry in Atlanta, you seem like a very angry person, I understand why you support Obama, he seems to bring out the worst in people. As for HIllary changing her mind, well Obama has flip flopped on every issue. He was for and against FISA, he was for and against Public Financing, he was for and against the DC gun ban, he was for and against a woman's right to choose when it concerns her mental health. He voted for a gas tax holiday three times in IL, and than was against it when HIllary proposed it. He was for huge tax breaks for big oil when he voted for the CHENEY Energy Bill, but now he's against what he voted for. Reverend Wright was his mentor and like a member of the family, now he barely knows him. Bill Clinton was a racist, now he's a good guy. Seriously Sherry, that's some flip flopping. I probably didn't' even cover a portion of all the changes he's made . Oh wait, he was against drilling now he's for it. Sherry do you even know his voting record, or do you just like pretty speeches. Check out Senate.gov, you might learn something if you do.
For goodness sake, don't elect this guy.
No Obama it's not fiction it's fact, go away and this time stay gone.
Leave the Country again please this time for good, your wife left us alone thank GOD! Your turn only when and if you come back try coming back as Hillary since you now have been stealing her words, you and your disciples have not an original thought amongst the lot of you. NO-BAMA! NO-BAMA!
It’s clear that Hillary supporters do NOT care about this country. Some of them are so childish as to not vote for the rightful nominee (Mr. Obama) or vote for Mc Same or write her name on the ballot. How is this beneficial for the country? Apparently Hillary’s supporters are elitists who don’t have to worry about losing their homes, paying $4 for a gallon of gas, or not having health insurance. Get this through you thick heads – AMERICA SIMPLY CANNOT AFFORD ANOTHER FOUR YEARS OF CORUPTION & FAILED POLICIES!
I do not understand the confusion on how ppl can be sick of Obama coverage while also not knowing enough about him. Maybe if any of his positions were consistent for more than a month. I guess Fisa, public financing of campaigns, the iraq war, gun control, lobbyist money, environmental policy, etc etc are not important topics in this election.
Everybody wants this country to come together and work together to face the difficult problems ahead. Unfortunately the guy with the proven track record of reaching across the aisle is being completely ignored by the same ppl who claim this is the most important factor in the election.
The only hillary surpporters are the ones on this blog cause all they can see Hillary not the issues they want a white person and a woman well there is nothing wrong with that but don't blame Obama for Hillaty loss cause it was all her fault when the primary started she thought she had it all but Obama made her work for it but by the time she will work for it it was late and all she did was play the victim of sexism and she also played the race card.I respect what she did for women coming from behind but remember she has been planning this years ago to run for president but she never plan to fight for it so people if you are too blind to see beyond your nose then its a shame cause the fact is Hillary clinton lost the nomination herself.
We adore Hillary, but we like McCain.
According to one major poll he actually has more Republican support than Obama has Democratic.
Moore thought it is time to stop electing white men, so the Dems found a black man that sat in a racist church for 20 years. All the far left elected him because he did not vote for the war and had no history, yet he was not even elected yet to vote. What would he have voted if he could have? Perhaps the expert Democratic Party guy from Michigan would be kind enough to enlighten the five of us non-existent racist democrats who are really republicans.
Pelosi, Dean and Reid we are the mavericks, we live in a world with all Americans, we listen to the concerns of our fellow republican Americans, we do not belittle and hate them. We recognize that their issues are as important to them as ours are to us.
Now, as you have chosen us a candidate who the more we find out about the more we are apalled, we will Unite (for now) with our republican bethren to fight against your obvious incompetence.
We know McCain is a far cry from Bush, how, because we looked at his history. You write vile comments about McCain, yet whine at how he is playing dirty, ha ha......
Hillary or McCain / Powell
There are a lot of Republicans here posing as Hillary supporters again, trying to stoke the fires. McCain thrives to the extent that they can create bad blood among the Democrats.
Ignore those messages..... a few may be genuine, but most have Karl Rove's fingerprints all over them.
Face it she's not going to be the nominee, not this year or in 2012, she lost get it through your heads, she had 18 million votes, Obama had 18 million and one, she lost.
Obama is absolutely right. The media takes a little Hillary clip and blows it way out of proportion. They need to go give McCain some more coverage. Obama doesn't want this coverage, it's the media and it's not positive. McCain wants more coverage so go dig up his skeletons. He has a lot of them!
No party friction huh? You must be smoking some weed again dude. Democrats running at the local level are worried, they're losing against their opponent.
Dems will lose the WH bid and lose some seats at the local level.
C'mon Mr. O, pony up Hillary's $ and she'll send you lots of voters. It's not the media's take on this situation, it oozes from you and the Clinton camp.
these stupid clinton people are such fools! do they think that the super delegates will actually turn from obama and look like fools at the convention? this race is over,hillary lost, we the obama supporters out voted you idiot hillary people so get over it! if he won then what makes any of these idiots think she can step in now and win in front of the intire delegation of democrats...... we the obama people are still here and filled with great pride over our elected presedent to be. accept it people hillary came in second ..not first!!!.i have never seen or heard such stupidity!
obama and his supporters are just so much smarter and educated than the hillary flock!
Obama is evil. He must have an ulterior motive. He must be a poll watcher. Haters can pounce on anything.
Obama supporters, if you really are...PLEASE stop insulting Senator Hillary Clinton. For us to heal, we must not reinforce walls that we need to break down. It does not help any of us who wish to see Senator Barack Obama become the next president of these great United States. We have real issues to content with, like our country being 24th in the world (down from #1 20 years ago) in mathematics. Let's do better and lift each other up. If McCain supporters choose to insult Obama or Clinton...well, we can't stop them, but we don't have to participate...which means not insulting Senator McCain either...think about it. Thanks.
I guarantee you that PUMA is not a media creation!! I have voted Democratic since 1972, but not this time. I will not vote for an empty suit topped with a bobble head and supported by training wheels. And the Democrats better get rid of Dean, Pelosi, and Reid. I even find myself watching Fox news now so I can get my political fix without vomiting. Back when the Democratic Party used to exist, Fox made me vomit. You remember, back in the days of a booming economy and a budget surplus. But Pelosi thinks it is more important to elect a black man than it is to solve our country's problems. But then she is no better at solving problems than Obama. They both just talk about solving them.
PUMA - Vote McCain
Once again, Obama is wrong. The friction within the party is real. If you do not believe that, read this blog!
We would like to ask Sen. Obama to please refrain from throwing any more of his former supporters under the bus.
hill's debt ain't paid because hill doesn't have that many real supporters. she used terrible judgement, mis managed her money and her supporters donations. now that she's lost who supports a loser? if they really were her biggest champions and loved and respected her so much like they keep saying they do they would have paid her debt instead of creating so much drama. to be honest the longer this goes on the more i lose respect for her and her husband. she is looking as silly and delusional as old man john mccain.
All you guys talk about EXPERIENCE...that Obama supposedly DOES NOT HAVE.. WHAT ABOUT JOHN F. KENNEDY, EISENHOWER, TRUMAN, AND OTHERS. And McCain dumped his first wife for Cindy.....after wife 1 nursed him back to health altho she was wheelchair bound. You want him for a President????????
Oh..... just another thing about the old white hair guy, his surge was effective.
Bye Bye Bush, Hello competence, I think I'm going to cryyy.......
The American objective in Iraq, is to help Iraq to become a free country, a democracy. American soldiers are not in Iraq indiscriminitely shooting Iraq men and women. ( As the far left loves to imply ) They are battling hard to offer them a sense of security at this time of transition. The people killing are led by tyrants, yes the leaders that hurt the people that they are supposed to protect.
Democrat who needs more than get in line, get over it and McCain=Bush
A good friend of mine who is Republican told me when Bill left office Hillary will run and I would see exactly how the Clinton's operate. I didn't believe her because I supported the Clintons. The Clintons have proven my Republican friend to be correct and now it's "I told you so". What a disappointment the Clintons have proven to be after so many of us supported Bill during his worst times only to find Bill and Hillary are two of a kind.
Democrats wake up, this is what the media want, to help creat more and more division within the democratic party, and the result will be you will turn against Obama. Don't be so stupid and fall for everything they put out.
obama have demonstracted the character of a true poltician, americans are looking politics full of issues, ideal and reforms. Obama is the man to watch, in him come a policy of hope.
There isn't any 18 million HRC supporters you fools. Rush an that goofy mob of his were probably half of those signing on to Hillary because they wanted her to be the nominee and they knew that even their poor candidate McCain could beat her due to the baggage and hate from conservatives she brings to the table. Ever wonder why her debt isn't being paid??? Rush's bunch won't give and the few thousands of her PUMA's aren't enough to get her on the ticket. Get real people!!!
Clinton's name WAS in the nomination, and she lost. It was called the PRIMARY elections. Delegates that voted for her LOST, but they WERE counted. No reason to have a REMATCH at the convention, that's what 2012 is for.
Obama created a lot of that friction himself by playing the RACE card against Bill and Hillary on more that one occasion.
Add to that the size of Obama's EGO in conflict with the Clinton's EGOs and well, you've got a problem.
Obama will do and say anything to win. Yesterday CNN said that the American people was tired of him and now all of a sudden he's in Hawaii on vacation, WOW!!
guess what we are going to have 8more years of mcbush all he has to do is live long enoughto be swore in. thanks to the clintons.the clintons are deturmed to make sure that if she is not the nomineethe dem. aare goingto lose. the obama supporters have a small say in who they vote for. obama cant be that stupid and belive what he says abount the dem. being united. iwould like to ask him if he belives in the tooth fariy????? the clintons name is going to be mud if mcbush winstheywill go down in history with bush . there political careers are going to be history
This is one of the MANY reasons why Obama is in the news so much. Stupid stories like this CREATED by the media just to stir up some stuff.
It's the media's fault for trying to create SENSATIONALISM... if only there was something SENSATIONAL about McCain they could write about!! I almost feel sorry for the media.... ALMOST!!!
The media and talking heads are at it again. They all vilified the Clinton's throughout the primaries and here we go again. Their ratings must be falling because all the radio and tv host are hyperventilating about the rift between the Clinton's and Obama. Leave the Clinton's alone. Obama, his camp and Obama fans have made it clear that they don't need the Clinton's. Obama did say that he could get Hillary's supporters but Hillary couldn't get his.
How many ways do the Clinton's have to say they are behind the Democratic nominee. No matter what they do the media will criticize them, Obama fans will vilify and demean them and their supporters. It seems that the Obama camp are somewhat intimidated by the Clinton's. If Obama is the ONE then move on.
Also, why shouldn't Clinton's delegates be given the opportunity to express their support? Isn't that the purpose of the convention? Is Obama afraid that he won't be the nominee? I enjoyed past conventions when delegates from the various states stood up with their hats and buttons and patriotic clothes to give a speech and put their delegates to the person their state chose. Why is it different now that Obama is the presumptive nominee?
In Obama's dreams. I've NEVER voted Republican. But this slick huckster is pushing me hard to break that rule.
If Hillary Clinton legitimately had "half" &/or 18 million genuine committed Democrats and Hillraisers for Hillary, she would have zero need to retire her Democratic Party Primary Campaign DEBT!
MAN there are a lot of republican idiots on this blog.. Barack doesn't need hillary supporters he's got plenty of his own and then some, hillary's supporters aren't even there for hillary she's in debt so why don't ALL OF U STAUNCH supporters of hillary HELP her out instead of relying on obama's donors. You guys are full of BS as I stated b4 go right ahead and vote for MCSENILE and slap hillary in the face that will just leave more room for TRUE HILLARY supporters to come and vote for Barack since she and he pretty much see eye to eye on a lot of issues.
OBAMA 08/12 YES WE CAN & YES WE WILL!!!!
Ok Mr. Obama, you go ahead and convince yourself there's not going to be an angry/unhappy mob at the Denver Convention, complaining about how you "stole" the nomination because your Party "elders" "Hand-Picked" you for the spot!!!!!! Don't underestimate Hillary supporters! That's all you like to do to us, is demean us and diminish our strength. But, don't worry, you can't "beat down the women"!!!! We'll be there, making sure your "day in the sun" involves a little black clouds. OOOPS, I'm sure now your supporters/campaign staffers will say that's a racist statment! Everytime someone who doesn't believe you are prepared for the Presidency of the United States of America says anything in support of the more qualified candidate, you say "Just a minute sweety...". Mr. Obama is a sexist pig. He only cares about the Muslims he won't allow to be on camera when he is. VOTE MCCAIN IN 2008!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
For all of you Hillary supporters who plan to vote for McCain or not at all: Really? You're really willing to sell out your friends, family, and the rest of the nation for a personal grudge? Did you hear a single word Hillary was saying on the campaign trail? Have you listened to McCain's blathering? You're really willing to take four more years of spectacularly failed policies and watch this country go further over the cliff? You're really willing to watch the Constitution be shredded beyond repair?
I am bewildered by the selfishness of you PUMA types. Obviously everything the candidates have been saying mean nothing to you if you're merely voting based on spite. If Hillary had won, you can bet your bottom dollar that Obama supporters would hold their nose and vote for her to avoid another four years of Republican failure.
Truly unbelievable.
Hell yes; there's friction and let Obama and his peoples believe that 9 out of 10 Clinton supporters will back him ... take it to the convention and find out how wrong the Obamacans are.
Obama is apparently without a clue as to what is going on in his own party. I'm not a bit surprised.
The party and his Presidential hopes will crash and burn at the Democrats convention.
Oh Please! You're dreaming in la la land if you think there is zero friction!
You treated Hillary like dirt and I will NEVER AGAIN vote for a man for president! You lost all credibility by throwing everyone under the bus!
You continue to do and say anything that you think will help you win! Your ego is bigger than the problems in this country, isn't it? Sure wish you would just go away. LOVE YOU HILLARY! Go McCain. No longer supporting democrats.
I've got news for you Dr. nO, EVERYTHING concerning you has been a media creation...
hi
Apparently Obama is without a clue as to what is going on in his own party. I'm not a bit surprised.
His Persidential hopes will crash and burn at the Democrats convention.
Obama is really stupid to say the media is making this up. Doesn't he have any contact with his own political party! What a moron.
Chuck Todd (First Read) on Hardball said he did not think Hillary would want her name put in as a nominee because it would show she would LOSE. He said most of her supporters have allready committed to Obama. I don't think she'll be putting her name in. They (Clintons) just can't seem to get past the primaries & that they LOST.
DIVIDE AND CONQUR: Hillary at her BEST!
It's not enough to lose...Hillary is sure to DESTROY THE PARTY!
Jake, You're just a jerk. Obama is every thing except what you've been thinking about.
I am not a media creation!!!!
PUMA!!!
These PUMAs are ridiculous. Look, there was a political CONTEST, and Hillary lost. Nobody cheated, he came out ahead, end of story. They act as if someone had cracked the immemorial order of things. Again, a contest implies the thing can be won or lost, and she lost.
...and Obama is exactly right! The media has been rather shameful during this entire election cycle and this latest Clinton drama is no different. The media continue to unfairly focus on Obama and completely ignore the OBVIOUS problems of John McCain. Every eligible American voter who is concerned about this election would do well to turn off CNN, MSNBC, and FOX and conduct candidate research for themselves!
Obama must be joking! This is why I can't stand him! He could care less about those of us who support Hillary.
Democrats unit behind Hillary!!! IT IS NOT TOO LATE!
Nope. BHO you did it when you stole the deligates
The only media creation is Hussein Nobama. Nobody had ever heard of this racist until the media forced him down everybody's throat. Proven fact!
Didn't he throw his Grandmother under the bus in one of his racial speeches?????
You lost Hilly Billy. Thats it. No name in the hat. Some once told me that you must kill a snake. If you let it go, you never know when it can come back and bite you. H
Hiilary- we cannot pay your debt. So don't be bitter. Ask your supports to donate a buck for you.
As far as media exposure is concerned, I already miss Obama.
I am glued to the TV to listen to him. Outstanding orator, an inspirational leader, intellectual man, an enabler and a problem solver. The world loves this world citizen..
God Bless Obama and his family.
America truly needs Obama at this time.
We don't know much about Obama but we are getting too much information about Obama. What? -–
That should show Americas intelligence.
I never thought I would see the day that there would be so much vile bitterness and hatred from people that call themselves Democrats. Until recently I thought that was a Republican trait. I see all of these posts smeering Obama that have been doing it since the voting started in January and then they have the gaul to say that Obama supporters picked on Hillary. It's true, some did. But it has been something like 10 to one the other way. On this particular thread it is 12 to one. Count it.
Obama is right, this whole "Party Divided" thing is just 5-10 morons and republicans trying to scare Obama to choose Clinton as his VP so then McShame can blast her....
Obama 08/12
The reason they don't want Bill Clinton, at there shin-dig. Is because they think: (They being the Black's, it will be a Black Lov-in. But it won't. It will become the Black-Wake, for the Democrats... I said six months ago: He should settle for VP... Now he'll get nothing...
No division within the party? Who is he KIDDING??? Is he really that naive or just that ARROGANT? THIS Clinton supporter will not fall in line behind the bratty, snot-nosed little boy playing make believe as if he could actually lead this country. I agree with Pres Clinton, he is NOT ready, nor will he EVER be ready. I'll write in a vote for Hillary rather than waste a vote on this pompous jack-arse.
People talk so much trash about hillary but she wouldnt be the first person to take it to the floor, what makes her so different ohhh that's right she's a woman. If it had been the other way around and Obama had been that close everyone would have been saying take it to the floor. I don't think she is going to do that she just wants her supporters to feel like she fought for their voices to be heard.
You are not qualified for the job Barry. You and your spouse are qualified to be a community activist . But thats about it.
This election is the Democrats to loose -
BHO should be streets ahead of McCain -
The DNC's chosen candidate comes up short
There is no unity in this party
You PUMAs who keep saying 18 million voted for Hillary are still behind her are on crack. The majority of Dems are now behind Barack to take back the White House.
But of course you won't listen...you'll vote for McCain to 'teach' the DNC. Even though you'll feel it for the next 4 years while hoping for Hillary to come and save the day. Except she may not, or she will inherit 12 years of abuse and neglect that she wouldn't be able to do much.
Thanks for trying to justify your not voting for Barack based on your faulty math but nobody is buying it.
And to imagine....I used to take offense for the media saying that Hillary's supporters were less educated. I guess you guys proved me wrong there.
And I LOVE the comments of the Obama supporters.
"You LOST Hillary! Get over it Hillary! You're all a bunch of whiners and losers, Get over it!"
"Oh, yeah, by the way, get in line and vote for our candidate. Can't you feel the love fest?"
If this guy makes this many mistakes on the campaign trail against Bob Dole II, how in the world can we trust him in the White House? For our sake and the sake of our party write in Hillary!
So...does the public NOT know enough about him, or are they getting TOO MUCH?
Eh?
Obama 08'
Rest well our Prince. The hopes, prayers, wishes, desires, wants, needs, dreams of all of your dedicated and devoted followers rest upon your mighty shoulders. Take this time to renew and rejuvinate your wisdom. We love, love, love, love you. Peace be with you. ............................ Barf....................................
Barack Obama was ELECTED not selected by the Democratic Party members- NOT the DNC, it wasn't fixed- and the reason Barack won is because he finished with more delegates- and those saying she got more votes used their magic-math to get there.
I'm so sick of hearing about the "life-long" Democrats voting mcSAME. I am a LIFELONG DEMOCRAT and never in all my years of political activism have I seen such immaturity, such self-indulgence, and such disrespect for the political process and we have seen from the so-called pumA's- I've got my OWN version of what those letters stand for!
They talk about how vicious the Obama supporters are- all anyone has to do is read one day of blogging from the pumA's- and you KNOW who is vicious!
Get a life, get over it, get HELP!
Every ones knows that the media has been and continues to be the main cause of many campaign disruptions, racism. Prejudice, outright hateful blogs and all that's nasty in this race. The media blows whatever is said out of proportion, they re-run ads and remarks over and over to get their own point across. Many in the media have their own party agenda and these are what they want the public to see.
Many of our comments are not posted for the same reason they are bias to any comments that contradicts what they what to portray.
Toady Wolf Blitzer mention that something stinks where it comes to Obama and Clinton in regard to the convention and democrats getting together. Again we all know what stings it was “Wolf’s Top Lip” especially when he ardently pushes aside and interrupts Obama’s commentators and allows McCain’s folks to speak freely.
CNN should post the good the bad and the ugly,
We need to get all picture of the anger they cause. why are the scared of criticism and that is exactly what they do all year round especially when it comes to this Obama race. It comes across fervently on TV it's something that cannot be hidden.
It is all one sided on many of the so called journalism they claim to want to protray.
MEDIA CREATION? Guess it takes an Obama to understand MEDIA CREATION - which is about ALL there is to Obama. A MEDIA CREATION BY AXELROD, OBAMA'S "BRAIN."
PUMAs and other sore losers arent going to quit. So like any spoiled child, just ignore them. They will vote however they wish and I dont care.
They will pay $4 a gallon to drive 100's of miles to whine on the street in DEnver or pay $500 for airfare....but they cant pry a dollar from their bitter hands to pay Hillary's debt. What a joke these people are.
And how proud their children must be of their shining unpatriotic example of cowardice, hate and poor sportsmanship. Thats right kids, you can grow up to be a whining 'victim' of whateverism just like your PUMA card-carrying psycho parents!
The thing thats going to make them really go nuts is when Obama wins and they realize their lttle tantrum was an impotent dud.
Too much at stake to placate these self-imposed victims. Americans dont like sore losers. Let them cry all they like..who cares?
As a long time Obama supporter, I donated $25 to Clinton's campaign to help her retire her debt. I am at a loss to understand why all of her devoted supporters have not stepped up to the plate.
If there are indeed 18 million of you, then this should be a trivial task. Its basically $1 each.
For that matter, why did she get into so much debt in the first place? Where were all of you during her campaign?
This wave of support would be so much easier to understand and accept if you actually stood up and supported her when she needs it most.
If there is a roll call vote at the convention, Obama will most likely still have the required amount of delegates. It's too late to switch now. What the DNC and Obama are afraid of is: When they go thru the roll, California, How do you vote? Hillary Clinton. New York, How do you vote? Hillary Clinton. New Jersey, How do you vote? Hillary Clinton and so on thru every major democratic stronghold (except Illinois). Iowa, How do you vote? Obama. Idaho, How do you vote? Obama. Montana, How do you vote? Obama and so on thru every state the dems have very little chance of winning. Obama and the DNC are not afraid that Hillary will steal the nomination, it wont happen. They are afraid that the people watching will see once again, what a sham his nomination was. He isn't gonna turn many (if any) of these states blue people. Not gonna happen. Not only that but he may very well lose a few of the big swing states. Ohio, Pennsylvania, Florida, and Michigan. If he loses just 2 of these 4 states he isn't gonna win. You heard it here first folks. He will lose 3 of them. Michigan, Ohio and Florida will be blood red after election day. What a shame. Democrats snatching defeat from the jaws of victory once again.
Obama also said he hopes his week off to visit family in Hawaii will help address public dissatisfaction reflected in a Pew poll this week that revealed nearly half those surveyed feels they have heard too much news about the presumptive Democratic nominee.

OBAMA - NOTHING MORE THAN DOING WHATEVER AFFECTS THE POLLS (AND STILL THEY DON'T MOVE BIG-TIME FOR HIM!).
He can't even be honest about taking a vacation with his family. Guess he's using THEM as he has USED everyone connected with him -"conveniently" here today, "inconveniently" gone tomorrow.
No one would blame him for "taking a vacation, " but NOW he has to spin even THAT in order to "hopefully" (but "unsuccessfully - just like his European "sightseeing tour") as an activity in response to the polls!
Will wonders never cease with this airhead, Obama. So glad I"m not voting for him!
After all of the ad-nauseum Obama overexposure, I still don't know what he's really saying. DO Y OU? Well, yes - he voted against the war in Iraq while he wasn't even yet elected to the Senate to participate in that vote.
THAT'S ABOUT ALL!
Don't trust the Clintons. I know they have something up their sleeves. It's all about them. If they really cared about America they would support the nominee. They are like spoiled brats. I'm beginning to think they are intentionally trying to sabatage this election so Hillary can run in 4 years. Selfish...What she doesn't know, is that if Barack loses, Both her and Bill will be blamed, and their political careers will be doomed. Wisw up!!!!!!!!!!!
Boy, this guy is delusional. The Democratic party is totally fractured because of him and the DNC and how they treated Clinton. As several other people said, I don't know what they are afraid of in running the convention the way it has ALWAYS been run – anyone with delegates being on the ballot. Oh, yeah, Hillary has so many delegates it would point out how divided the party is – and there is even a real chance that Hillary could come out the winner. Obama isn't used to competition. Every other race he's been in he's been able to sleazily eliminate the competition before the voting even began.
After his no bounce in the polls Obama is patronizingly telling everyone, who are going to watch the Olympics instead of him anyway to take a vacation. How big can your ego get Obama. Poor bambi, the media is over covering him.
Must be nice to bad mouth his own country day in and day out, then go to Haiwi for vacation. He has it so hard, what a joke and an embarrasement to this country. Maybe he will make up to his grandmother the only one who took care of him then gets thrown under the bus.
i agree, where would the media be without tirturin the canidates????? lets have some positive things ,,,,, i along with over half americans want to hear good things ,, not the negative things,,,, CNN included,,,,,, i wish the canidates would stop knockin each other too,, lets stick to the issues,,,, and move on,,,,,mccain, dont forget your meds,,,,,,,lol
Hillary Clinton LOST!! They are not running the Dem Party. They just can't seem to accept that. She is demanding that she get some kind of respect that she just thinks she is owed & has not gotten it. Hillary did everything she could to DESTROY Obama, & she is still at it & hoping somehow to succeed. Chuck Todd was on Hardball & said 75-80 % of Hillary's supporters have allready committed to Obama & if her name is put in Nominee & role call is taken, she will see that she LOST. so i doubt she will ask for her name to be put in Nominee.
i would not care if i ever here from bill or hillary again. we stuck by him and all his indesretions. they the media and those haters out there.dont know sh//// from shineola.
Obama, you are so ridiculous. You are CHANGE - change from
understanding how economies work,
understanding how fossil fuels are the basis of our economy
understanding that it is not your race, it is your unadulterated ignorance of American history and appeasement
understanding that your wife is one angry woman
understanding that your friends are America-haters and bigots
(especially Rev. Wright and your buddy the Weatherman-bomber)
I will be campaigning against you. Why? Because, unlike you, I love America and all it stands for!
Hillary actually will not vote for Obama as she is secretly hoping for his defeat and a poor 4-year showing by McCain so that she can run the table next time.
Why is it so important to all of you fanatical female (and wanna be female) hillary supporters that she gets her name in the spot light. if you BONEHEADS could sit back and listen to the CRAP you come up with and spew out you would probably think twice before you spoke or typed. you are not only devisive to the democratic party but also to america as well. use your heads for something other than a hair farm
I may agree with Obama's statement. Hillary has "18 million supportes", all of which refuse to donate 1.00 to her debt, and failed to attract enough people during the caucuses. Many of the 18 million supporters voted early in the primaries, and before Obama showed his ability to make great decisions and plans, and before Hillary showed slight stubborness at the end. PUMA is missing one great leader...and that is Hillary...she doesn't support you...that makes you irrelevant in my opinion
