Mcsenile = no new ideas, just the same old lies, over and over again.

Just like when he was debating Romney, mcwar kept repeating the same old lies over and over again.

Notice how every time someone has been accused of hangin' w/ Obama they quickly deny it?

Why does everyone want to distance themselves from Obama??

I know, but I ain't tellin'

…yet.

CNN, please post this.

Doesn't this speak about Obama's Charecter by itself!!! Obama supporters you are just blind followers!! I never vote for a lier.

I am a Democrat voting for McCain, here is why: If McCain wins we only have to wait 4 more years before running someone else. If BO wins we have to wait 8 more years before running someone else.

Oh…, my bad. Paris is Obama's Secretary of Energy.

Paris Hilton is Obama's foriegn policy adviser. Perhaps Clooney would want Secretary of Homeland Security!!??

Who cares? I get almost daily emails from Obama, Michelle, and their highest level staff as do several millionn other people supporting Barack. God I hope America doesn't screw this up and force us to deal with 4 more years of Republicans ruining the country.

"These two failed stars can help put each other back in the tabloids they love to have their picture taken. "

AND

"George you've just lost me. I'll never watch any of your movies again. Movie stars should stay where they, HOLLYWEIRD"

- You two (and some others) LEARN TO READ…Clooney denied it was true- and indeed was willing to stake money on it!

Do you believe every random bit of chain letter tat you read?/ If so I've heard some King of Nigeria want to transfer $1000000 to your bank account…

"…I would hope that my friend John McCain would join me in condemning this kind of politics.”
John McSame will never join anyone in condemning anything that is negative towards Obama…..afterall that is the entire structure and mission of his campaign….demonize Obama and his supporters! But we will have the last say in November!

Just a shout out to GC — thanks! Stupid story aside, you're one of my favorite actors (love the Oceans series) and you seem smart enough to stay out of the fray.

I don't know what it is about these stories… it's like, the media just throws something out to see if it ripples. Or maybe the McCain camp is doing it on the DL?

FAN of both Clooney AND Obama!

Looney also said that he would move to Canada if Bush was elected. So why is Obama surrounding himself with known liars??

Clooney will host a fundraiser for Obama in SWITZERLAND??????? What's up with that?

McCain '08 for Hillary '12

As per my question above, You McCain supporters must answer the question without using any of these two words… Barack, or Obama. Now give it a shot. lol

RUDYNYC,

The problem with Obama taking advice from Clooney is that HE IS AN ACTOR not A POLITICIAN/LAWYER/LAWMAKER. Get it? Actors should stick to acting, politicians to politics.

I am sick and tired of actors who think they're views are more important than mine!!! Get off your smug soap boxes and realize that just because we liked a movie that you had a role in doesn't mean we need, want or CARE about your political beliefs!!!

Alice Brinkley, you should check your facts. If you like McCain, vote for him. Obama has done a lot of good for those who wishes to see it.

If you are satisfied with the Bush administration, vote for the man who stood with him at least 95% of the time, John McCain. However, if you are tired of the same, Vote Sen. Obama.

Hmmm…interesting that we hear about George Clooney's e-mail habits but not the influence of a certain lobbyist for the Republic of Georgia and Georgian interests on McCain's exploitation of death and destruction for partisan political gain. You know, the man running for President who supposedly speaks for all Americans and jet-skiied on the Black Sea 2 years ago on the taxpayers' dime, and now has a Georgian lobbyist as his top foreign policy advisor? Ring a bell?

Thank you George for NOT texting or hitting the campain trail. We love YOU just the way you are. It would be awful if we had to change how we feel about you because you politically choose against US. Therefore, we will continue to watch and buy your movies as long as you stay out of the political fray.
You have it all, looks, chramisa and being IRISH with an ITALIAN Villa on Lago di Como helps a LOT too.

WAY TO GO GEORGE !

BORRRIIIINNNNNGGGG.

It wouldn't surprise me that Obama has a convoy of Hollywood people who advise him. He sounds just as clueless as they are when he speaks.

omg, you people are all nuts, it was a simple statement to clear up a rumour. Everyone needs to stand back from politics for a bit and take a deep breath.

Alice Brinkley said:

"Sen Lieberman as well as Sen McCain have proven their statesmanship by their acts over many years, while Obama can't show one darn thing that he has done for the good of the country"

I can easily say McCain and Lieberman have caused the current financial crisis in this country and Obama has a plan to get us out.

OR

Santa Claus likes milkshakes and feeds his reindeer chocolate.

Both statements are completely objective with no facts to support them. That is not what intellectual conversation is based on. I wish Americans would start discussing the issues based on facts and not broad unsupported statements designed to ridicule the opponent.

Four more years of hell? I can't agree with that at all, my life has been great since Wild Bill left office. Could it be that the lazy, underachieving hippies just want a little income redistribution? They want something for nothing, like you are entitled to it? Oh, and for the record, I have served FOUR tours in Iraq, TWO in Kuwait, TWO in Saudi Arabia, and ONE in Afghanistan. I VOLUNTEERED to go to all of them. Obama will NOT magically make everything better, as evidenced by Skeletor (Pelosi) and her minions in Congress. Trust me, it won't be pretty if he's elected, he'll just make you feel good while he taxes us to death (well, those of us that are employed anyway). Peace out! BJack

This is pure nonsense, lets get to the gritty stuff, Economy, gas price, home foreclosures, war in irak, afghanistan, Iran and now Georgia.

Alice Brinkley… Please do your research …. Please… Whats that old saying " its better to keep your mouth closed and be thought a fool, than to open your mouth and remove all doubt." I dedicate that quote to John Mccain supporters.

Well If you think Clooney emailed Obama then you shold go get that million dollars he's offering to anyone who can prove otherwise. Knock yourself out.

Whats going on here is simple and rather basic strategy on the part of republicans to further saturate the minds of innocent, misinformed voters with the image of Obama as being a celeb or like a celeb. Not working. Obama 08!

I have no idea how long it will take or if it will ever happene for many of you. Until you get past the fact Obama is a black man and come to terms with it, you will never learn to appreciate the fact that he's so much more intelligent than his counterpart. Meaning you will never learn anything constructive about your next president.

And for once, can ONE Mccain supporter PLEASE explain to myself and the rest of the Obama supporters: Tell us ONE policy that Mccain has introduced thus far that differs from any policy the Bush admin has in place already? Once youve climbed that mountain: Tell us how he plans to do it? i.e. strategy, cost etc, and for extra credit, explain how he plans to finance his lofty goals for this country? Then you can humor us by explaining how he's gonna do this WITHOUT raising ANYONES taxes? As he claims so firmly… The clock is ticking…

It's truly a shame that this actor is more mature and responsible than the media or the politicians.

I thought there was more to George Clooney and I am having 2nd thoughts now. His choice of Las Vegas strippers for a girlfriend and now trying to give advice to OBAMA. MAn oh man. Sure hope Obama
can see the light or maybe he is giving him advise about a getaway weekend in SIN CITY. WHAT HAPPENS IN VEGAS STAYS THERE. WELL THAT IS BULL. THE WHOLE US KNOWS ALL ABOUT VEGAS AND ITS SINS. THINK WE WOMEN ARE STUPID.

"Steve - Wyoming: How come Hillary's name wasn't in this article? She's in everything else regardless of relevance!"

———————-

Good point. They should stop the childish reporting about Obama and focus more on her.

Right sure! Just like Scarlett Johansson. Movie (Rock) Stars are flock together.

wow, this is the dumbest article ever, but if it's true, someone from that phone company could be making a million dollars.

non black nonwhite - August 13th, 2008 11:04 am ET

the media doesn't like obama and his supporters that is why he gets the most negative coverage

What the heck are you smoking? The media is 90% liberal bud. The only medium that conservatives have a hold on is radio…which is why pelosi is trying to shut it down.

Wow.. This article is about nothing that matters and the liberals still manage to not talk about it's actual contents and instead somehow tie this to republicans and McCain. Grow up guys.

The only time McCain was mentioned in this article was when Clooney said, he's spent more time with McCain because they did a tv show together. There is a time and place to bash candidates and this isn't either.

And CNN.. Why must you keep deleting my comments? Am I not liberal enough?

What is with that picture? The two men are obviously p-shopped in, but then the ceiling makes it look like a real pic. It looks like they just got caught kissing or something.

Why the heck should McCain have to condem this? His party didn't put it out.

So should barack have to condemn every moronic post on these blogs calling mccain 'old and senile' ?

Apologizing for other people is just plain stupid.

Regardless, the rumor is stupid. We all know Barack takes his marching orders from the other big O. Oprah.

Even if Clooney had e-mailed Obama, So. Obama can't know anyone now. D-mn, give the man a break. Tell me of anyone of importance that wouldn't want Obama's personal e-mail address? I gets a head ache everytime I comme to CNN blog's BS. I now blog on AOL. No moderation, what you write is what get posted immeditely. None of this BS, after you've writen a blog, then gets a This Post is Closed, when its only been open 1 hour. Then it shows that no one left a comment. CNN s-cks GO TO AOL.

wgaff?we want issues,repubs!this garbage is boring.

Looks like a bunch of Republican operatives/trolls were waiting to post on this article. Were they given advanced knowledge?

Their content linking Clooney to Obama is interesting since Clooney disavows the LA Times article. It looks so pre-rehearsed.

One troll even managed to inject a Lieberman lie into this. You guys must get frequent talking point bulletins from Republican Central.

Thats what happens when you have no foreign expierence…..At least Clooney attend the Cannes film festival in Europe that there is more expierence then Obama

the REPUBLICANS ARE JUST TRYING TO DISTRACT THEIR BIGOTS FROM THE REAL ISSUES…THEY WILL THROW EVERYTHING AT OBAMA JUST LIKE HILLARY'S KITCHEN SINK JUST TO SMEAR HIS NAME AND YOU SOME FOOLS SCARD OF HIM.

THEY ARE SOME HILLYBILLYS OUT THERE WHO BELIEVE IN THESE STUFF…TO THE REPUBLICAN BIGOTS AND JOHN McSAME, IGNORANCE IS BLISS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

IT'S NOT GOING TO WORK THIS TIME - AMERICANS ARE SMARTER THAN THE REPUBLICANS WILL WANT US TO BELIEVE!

CHANGE IS COMING - YES, CHANGE WE CAN BELIEVE IN, NOT FEAR & SMEAR!!!!!!

VOTE OBAMA '08′12!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

I am sick of all this garbage…………………

This is a waste of time ! Report something worth talking about.

Clooney is friends with McCain? This just proves McCain is a vapid celebrity dingleberry and not a legitimate statesman. Conservative Republicans universally agree that nobody who has ever worked in Hollywood has any business setting foot in Washington! We can have doctors, lawyers, MBAs, fishermen, teachers, plumbers, and unemployed factory workers as senator, governor, or president - but NEVER an actor! Their opinions and endorsement are less valid than everybody else's!
Praise the holy ghost of Ronald Reagan!

obama creates negative publicity. he's the one who chose those anti-American friends, not the media. he's the one who said winning his senate seat the way he did is just Chicago politics, not the media. he's the one who made the crack about his white grandmother, not the media. he's the one who keeps flip flopping, not the media. he's the one who chooses not to buy his children Christmas and birthday gifts to show them there are limits, then sets an example by renting a super jet and an NFL stadium so people can pay homage to him. not the media. so if he wants positive do positive things.

It really doesn't matter who is elected President of the US because they are all a bunch of liars and are going to do what they want to while they are in office and could care less what the American people feel or say. What will they really do for us. They don't do a thing but negotiate with all the foreign leaders. They care what they say and do not you or me.

Alice Brinkley Voted for now President. By the way you comment has some truth in it, it does show their alike proven salesmanship…ops…..statesmanship. The WROST President in years, starting a war that only produced higher gas prices and thousands their lives, homeowner struggling to keep their homes, millions without health care. and fat wallets for the now administration and their oil friends…..Yes, your right to they reaches over party line, but not the voters who suffer day after day from the WROST economy we have today.

Some of you have the nerve to say "Obama supporters are the most mean, nasty, and hateful people that I have ever had the displeasure of encountering." The truth is everyone republican, democrat and the other parties have said MEAN things. We are not Obama, we are not going to take you beating us with words and not strike back, JUST ISN”T GOING TO HAPPEN!

Obama 08

I love how Clooney flips it over immediately and clarifies that he has had more contact with McCain than Obama!

I could care less, about who George Clooney e-mails' or nots': But, CNN, stop, moderating my e-mail comments- I'm just telling "the truth"; as I see it; from "a different perspective, …..something your network, might try doing for a "change"…………………Yes you can!

And this is why I hate the media. We have McCain who's top policy advisor was up until a few months ago a lobbiest for the Georgian Government, And just last month Condi Rice went to Georgia and encouraged that Government to try and take back Ossetia and the other break away territory… and this is what CNN is reporting on. IDIOTS

Clooney is a good dude. Once again, the McSamites will make a stink one way or the other.

I am so tired of the silly McCain attacks against anyone who may in any way recognize that we are living in the 21st Century.

Is Alice Brinkley from planet X ? Lieberman must reach across party lines. He will be of NO value to either party once Obama and 10 new Dem Sen's are in office. Lieberman is a lame duck after this Nov. and he knows it. The guy's days are numbered…

McCain is just jealous he is not longer the good looking POW military celebrity in Washington. He is taking it out on Obama with these type of childish temper tantrum attacks and false accusations. McCain, you can only hold on to your celebrity status for so long. You have to let it go.

CNN who cares? The country could be going into another war, and McSame just said we are all Geogians and the President want to know what we are going to do about the issue versus all the talk??? see this is an issue and McSame is not the President and has no power and should not have made a statement like that… this needs to be a serious topic to discuss as I do not want my son's fighting in war! I love Clooney but hey he is an actor not a Politician … what can he do for America and what does it matter if he does text Obama or not….. stop the madness and report the news… and hey get off Obama back and shed some light on McStupid … Obama brush his hair with his left hand, Obama exercise a lot Obama ….. come on now really… do you think this is something we care about?

Why should John McCain condemn this? These people are insane. It was the Los Angelas Times who reported it not John McCain.

Regarding McCain's Aide Talking About Barack & Georgia:

McCain is grabbing at straws because he will not win this election. Did you see the smile on his face when he was talking about Georgia. He's elated. Why? Because he thinks Americans are stupid and that we will elect him so he can continue the Bush policies.

He's a phony and a fake and I'm not buying it. I can't wait to vote for Obama and return McFake Out to his home state of Arizona. Good luck keeping him awake, or asking him to work on the weekends.

Obama 08

Just goes to show Hollywood and politcs don't mix. Obama was so eager to become friends with the Hollywood set and take their money (remember Oprah's huge fundraiser). If it walks like an outrageous liberal, acts like an outrageous liberal, talks like an outrageous liberal and hangs out with out-of-touch outrageous liberals, it unequivocally is Barack Obama.

Republicans are very skillful at starting "whisper campaigns" that get traction in the mainline news. This is just another example. Only the most gullible get fooled by them anymore..

why do my cooments always say awaiting moderation and others dont.i am not inmoderate in my comments.this is bound to be some violation of 1st amendment rights.

Really, who gives a crap?

Elitist clown hanging out with elitist clowns………………….

Vote McCain or join the insane…….

Is Clooney Mr Obama's secret lover?

Denials and finger wagging bold face lies are what we expect from Democrats, and hollywood celebrities..

That is very silly and if so what

Great challenge to the McCain camp! Anyone want $1M dollars per Clooney if you can disprove his statement!

Renounce, denounce, reject this kind of politics!!!!!!!!!!!!

seriously CNN…why is this news?

August 13th, 2008 11:14 am ET

Handsome, bright, charismatics
Paleeze. A little full of yourself?

Wow look at the republican posters actually trying to make a big issue out of this, how pathetic…

not a conservative story folks.we have no allies in the mainstream media and really do not care who emails obama as we believe obama is just not the type candidate we need to lead this country

Does anyone really care about these hair brain movie stars? Movie stars are not running for President and they will not be leading our Country. Just pay attention to what Obama is saying and doing and then when you realize he is saying and doing "nothing", vote for McCain.

Better yet, hope HIllary's name is put in for nomination at the convention. One never knows what a twist of fate might happen there.

Move on.CNN

HEY CNN WHEN ARE YOU GOING TO USE THE CORRECT WORDING IN YOUR BLOGS

HILLARY CLINTON DID NOT LOOSE
BARCK OBAMA DID NOT WIN

THE FACT IS
HILLARY CLINTON WAS NOT SELECTED
BARACK OBAMA WAS SELECTED

THER IS A BIG DIFFERENCE BETWEEN LOOSE, WIN AND SELCTED AND CHOSEN

GO BACK AND CHECK YOUR NOTES FROM JOURNALISM 101

The NYTimes is merely plagiarizing Britain's Daily Mail newspaper.

They were the first to find that George Clooney is an “unofficial” adviser to Senator Obama. They also reported that Clooney is trying to hide the relationship because he fears “his left-wing views and playboy image” will hurt Obama's White House chances.

But the duo does regularly speak by phone, at least twice a week. The newspaper also quoted one source as saying, "George has been giving him advice on things such as presentation, public speaking and body language and policy, especially the Middle East."

Of course the proof would be in the pudding.., Does Clooney's Middle East policy match that of Obama's?? Why yes it does! Hmmm…..

I did not have textual relations with that man

Denying doesn't make it so George!

KEEP VOTING FOR YOUTH AN UNEXPERIENCE AND WE WONT HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT ANYTHING. WITH AGE COMES WISDOM. OUR NATIONAL SECURITY IS THE MAIN ISSUE. WITHOUT THAT ,NOTHING ELSE MATTERS. TODAY GEORGIA TOMMORROW U.S.A. THINK ABOUT IT. OUR COUNTRY IS HEADED FOR THE WORST YET. WE NEED SOMEONE THAT HAS KNOWLEDGE ABOUT SECURING IT.

Clooney said in a statement. “I've spent more time with Senator McCain (he did my TV show) then I have with Senator Obama. I would hope that my friend John McCain would join me in condemning this kind of politics.”

So where are you Johnny boy ?

Lieberman and McCain are not statesman, they are buffoons that will get us mired in more wars. If McCain had his way we would be starting World War III right now backing uncritically the blunders made by Saakashvili in taunting Russia militarily and giving them the opening they so much wanted.

You say we can't have Hillary as VP…But THAT is exactly what we want! that is the LEAST Barack coud do! I don't want anything else. Just Clinton as VP. Why is it so hard?

and the point is???

Hollywood ,< Maybe Cooney can make a movie , from one of Obama's Books.

Obama playing himself . For he knows how by now . Sore Lip.An soon will be a sore loozer < Rezko will lone him his shoulder , cry baby cry .

First we had SWIFT BOAT , Now we have FLIP FLOP < WRIGHT On .

So what if Clooney and Hollywood give Obama advice ? That may be in part based on Obama's lack of experience and maybe he wants to reach out to all who support his points of view.

Why would Mr. Clooney host a fundraiser in Geneva ? Is he trying to preempt or get around existing restrictions ?

ME TOO. OR THREE OR WHAT EVER.

AT LEAST I WISH !!!!

ACTUALLY ROOMER HAS IT,THAT OBAMA DOES PICK

AT RANDOM, A NUMBER OF EMAILS TO ANSWER, AND

THAT ALL HIS DONORS AT THE END OF THE CAMPAIGN

WILL GET A SURPRISE THANK YOU. IF THAT IS THE CASE,

I WILL BE GETTING 12 OF THOSE. WATCH OUT WORLD.

HERE COME THE AMERICANS, AGAIN.

You are Right George Thanks for the Endorsement….Look over the Trouble Making Media

Whatever… Is Les-Wa on crack? Let me get this right… Because George talks to Obama or not we should all freeeeak out. God… get back on your meds

well maybe he can get obama a part in his next film if he loses the election. with his acting abilities he should be a quick study

This article is irrelevant. What is infinitely more important should be:

What does Hillary Want?

Why is it the socalled Hillary supporters have so much to say on the non issue blogs like this and yet are deathly quiet on the blogs on real issues like the ones on Georgia??

Better to have an email connection with an American than a relationship with a foreign leader through a lobbyist.

Republicans still trying the "Celebrity" tactic I see. How stupid….

Personal to Alice Brinkley:

Lieberman has always had an agenda and always will. McCain "talks" well, too; first he's against off-shore drilling, and then he's for it!

CNN it's time to ban people for being Off-Topic!!!!!!

The picture with this story is obviously a composite and should be labeled as such. Why does CNN have the journalistic standards of a supermarket tabloid? Please change the pic or the caption.

To- Les Wa IDIOT!!!

Handsome, bright, charismatics flock together.
Are you jealous McInsane? You have a look alike Lieberman.

Don't hold your breath George, McBush will never condem these kind of rumors. Haven't you noticed taking the low road is all McBush is about, in fact it was probably one of his flunkys that started the rumor.

Hollywood stinks and so does Politics

WHATS OBAMA DOING NOW TRYING TO GET IN THE MOVIES. HE ALREADY THINKS HE IS A ROCK STAR ETC. OBAMA IS A BIG JOKE AND YOU FOLLOWERS WILL SOON FIND OUT.

"Clooney told CNN in February he had no plans to hit the campaign trail for the presumptive Democratic nominee despite his endorsement because of the adverse affects celebrity endorsements can have on a candidate."

But Clooney is now going to do a foreign fundraiser for Obama.

Flip-flopping birds of a feather…

Celebrities have to stick together.

“I've spent more time with Senator McCain (he did my TV show) then I have with Senator Obama.

Nice jab at McCain's celebrity Clooney!

Obama '08

Clooney stated he will offer $1Million to anyone with proof he has been in touch with Obama. Sounds like a public and binding agreement. Someone from the phone company should check his text messaging history and score a cool million from Clooney.

TO Les-Wa August 13th, 2008 11:04 am ET
George you've just lost me. I'll never watch any of your movies again. Movie stars should stay where they, HOLLYWEIRD!
——————————————————————————————
Lose a few, gain a million George…Who cares Les-Wa, a nobody….

What is this…. the Enquirer, People?

who cares?

He said "I would hope that my friend John McCain would join me in condemning this kind of politics.” !! Sen McCain ???

_____________________________________________________
I'm over The Hill and i'm voting for Obama

Your Political ticker is turning into a tabloid ticker, first was Scarlett now Clooney … give Obama a break

Why would Obama need Larry Sinclair if he has doe-eyed Clooney at his side… I am sure these guys have a little fun together.

Won't vote for this leftist radical - no accomplishments, no morals.

We'll remember in November.

Right wing loonies love to try to defame Obama by tying him to the "Hollywood Left".

Of course, they have no problems watching the movies and TV shows that come out of Hollywood. Hypocrites. So what if Obama and Clooney or Johansson send emails and texts back and forth? Even if it was true, I wouldn't care. Who decided presidents and presidential candidates shouldn't have friends?

And wasn't Reagan an actor?

I like Sen Lieberman. He reaches across party lines for the good of the country rather than just supporting the party line. Sen Lieberman as well as Sen McCain have proven their statesmanship by their acts over many years, while Obama can't show one darn thing that he has done for the good of the country. Obama TALKS good, that's all–empty suit he is.

Republicans are a bunch of whiners and liers.

How come Hillary's name wasn't in this article? She's in everything else regardless of relevance!

the media doesn't like obama and his supporters that is why he gets the most negative coverage. clooney & Johansson are being badgered by the press for liking a democrat. it's a conspiracy against the dems because the media is funded by Rupert Murdock and Bush

George you've just lost me. I'll never watch any of your movies again. Movie stars should stay where they, HOLLYWEIRD!

Los Angeles Times try to cook something !!!!!!!!!
At last truth is coming out Mc Cain will be better president than Obama
Hillary 08 or Mc Cain 08

This is better than the Brittney Madonna kiss to get attention

Janet Jackson wardrobe malfuntion got attention

These two failed stars can help put each other back in the tabloids they love to have their picture taken.

Obama is doing a good job or repackaging socialism, but his magic is gone.

So what if he does talk to Clooney from time to time. Oh, I know what the problem is with this situation. Clooney is a politically incorrect liberal.

Didn't we just go through this with Edwards? 2 months down the road we will find out Clooney emailed Obama. LOL

More distractions from the Reptilicans and their enablers in Mainstream Media…

What the hell does this have to do with anything, Mccains campaign will make a fuss of it though I'm sure, freaking paparazzi, they will do anything to stay clear of the real issues. Pathetic…
