Ironic, considering they're about equally qualified to be commander and chief…actually, Phelps probably has the edge there.

Who cares about Michael Phelps. He had his few days of fame and in due time his record will be broken just like Mark Spitz' was.

BARACK SUPPORTERS,

I DON'T KNOW ABOUT YOU, BUT I AM SO SICK OF CNN's NEGATIVE REPORTING AGAINST BARACK, that I have a suggestion for all of BARACK'S SUPPORTERS. LET US BOYCOTT CNN, UNTIL THEY GET THE MESSAGE, THAT WE ARE TOTALLY OUTRAGED ABOUT THE WAY THEY REPORT THE SO-CALLED "NEWS" ABOUT BARACK!

Seriously there are so many other sites with as good or better news coverage that WE SHOULD NOT HAVE TO DEAL WITH THE TOTAL NEGATIVITY OF JOHN KING, WOLF BLITZER, AND THE EVER OFFENSIVE LOU DOBBS!

No Obama in 2008? Ok then…No HILLARY in 2012! Because of you PUMA's, she will NEVER get my vote.

Let's let the Republicans rule this country forever!

Celebrity is fleeting.

Obama slipping in the polls and on face book. Hillary people bailing on him after he snubbed her for VP. I'm taking bets that the stadium will be less than half full for his DNC acceptance speech.

Thats the life of a Rockstar, fans can be so fickle. His campaign is starting to look like a farewell tour.

ALL THAT GLITTERS IS NOT GOLD!!!!!!!!!!!! MICHAEL PHELPS GOLD CAME AT A PRICE. TRAINING, SACRIFICE AND PERFORMANCE UNDER INTERNATIONAL PRESSURE. OBAMA HAS HAD HIS GOLD SHINED UP TO A MIRROR FINISH BY A MARKETING CAMPAIGN. THE SAME SORT OF MEDIA ANTICS THAT MADE CHI-COM OLYMPICS LOOK LIKE THEY WERE FROM NEBRASKA. IVE NOTICED THE WAY THINGS ARE DONE MORE NOW THAN EVER BEFORE. WHILE WE STRUGGLE WITH HIGH ENERGY THE DESPOTS OF ASIA FOAM IN OUR MONEY. WHILE WE DROWN IN HIGH GROCERY PRICES BIG AGRA EXPLOITS CHEAP LABOR OF ILLEGALS THRU POLITICAL FAVORS. ASK OL SAXBY AND TEDDY. WHILE WE WORRY ABOUT THE FUTURE INTEGRITY OF OUR ECONOMY THE BUSINESS CARD IN CHINA AND INDIA IS SHOVED UP OUR NOSES. NO,NO,NO,NO, OBAMAS FLIMSEY BAG BOY PERSONNA IS NO MORE THAN FOOLS GOLD. ITS AN ABSOLUTE SLAP IN THE FACE TO SIR PHELPS TO COMPARE HIS ACCOMPLISHMENT THIS SNAKE OIL SALESMAN. GET REAL WHEN YOU INCLUDE HEROES WITH HOWARD DEAN STOOGES.

I guess Cnn Doesn't like when you write about them they have been posting all my comments all night and when I call CNN on tis baseless reteric they bump me. Who is Bias, Cnn get some tuff skin

Carpe Deum Michael!

Phelps worked very hard to attain his goal, and is obviously proud to represent his country! He deserves top billing!

Obama is fading as an American idol and as a credible candidate for president of the United States of America!

And, a convention extravaganza will not earn him kudos any more than the big trip/big Berlin speech did.

Obama's books plus the Corsi and Freddoso books plus the words of Obama, Michelle, their mentors and friends have given Americans quite a lot to chew on. The Obama family/camp are too late in trying to tackle an image already ingrained in the minds of Americans!

Obama never!

Dont waste your vote! Vote for John McCain 08 and Hillary Clinton 2010!

Republicans are just haters and can't deal with the fact that Obama is the best choice for president, who is actually for the people. congradulations to Phelps, but it shouldn't matter who is #1 on facebook. Vote Obama/Biden 08′ Young people everywhere lets make a difference and vote this election and show the older people that we care about our country's future. Lets get MOTIVATED!!!!!

As of Sunday afternoon, Obama had roughly 1,383,000 "supporters" while Phelps, age 23, had more than 1,399,000 "fans."
1,399.000-1383.000 =16……Comparing an Olympic swimmer to a US presidential candidate?Patnetic!!!
Peter of Oregon – How many Facebook fans does Hillary Clinton or John McCain have CNN…OK CNN Don'T GO FOX NEWS ON US !!!
Shame on You CNN!!!

Chuck: Why do you have to be racial? People like you are the problem with this country. You want to claim it has nothing to do with race, but then you make comments like that and take away all doubt that you're just a racist.

Brandy, NJ: Why are you making up statistics?

tsk tsk tsk!!!! is everybody at cnn on information over load? or just bored?

Wonder how Biden feels to be the "Token White Guy?"

he is better looking and more qualified at bringing home the gold,….
obama will be lucky to deliver bronze

dumb article comparing apples to oranges. I know it is just hours before the opening of the only convention that matters and there is not much to scribble about but this is ridiculous.

Bob (NC) August 24th, 2008 8:25 pm ET

All of Obama's young supporters who voted for "change" in the primary are now busy with other things and becoming less captivated since they've learned he's just another politician and nothing special.
——————————————————————————————————–
So then I guess he is only getting 20% in the polls to mccains 80? …no he is still ahead.

At least Phelps can hold his own head above water…

Ya mean Obama needs to hire more flunkies to blog AND run up his numbers on facebook?

Oh My!!!

…

So why is one PUMA site claiming they did the attack on an Obama office and you are reporting this?

This is news? The real news is that Obama screwed up. He dissed Hillary. He had 75% of her voters at the end of June. Now after his VP pick he only has 66% of them and losing every day.

<- No vote 08

McCain,do not have anything to say but be negative.Let
talk about issues McCain,this negative attacks don't really
matter. Please move on to something else okay. Talk about
what you going to do for america and not talk so much about
Iraq.

Phelps / Obama

TWO GREAT AMERICANS ! ! ! ! !

Great! This shows that Americans love Obama and Phelps!
Two men that know how to WIN!

You can see the value of Facebook users' choices of dreamers and swimmers. Next week it will be a new movie star or dancer or a new 12-year old singer. Real strong citizens, Obama, as your supporters!.

Facebook, MySpace and the rest of the New World Order "social networking" sites are nothing more but an instrument for which HSA and the rest of the globalists to easily gather info on everyone. I wouldn't put any credence in what anyone quotes from those sites because of the jerks who join them. No wonder there are so many unemployed in the US.

Micheal Phelps has replaced Obama because we Americans have notoriously short attention spans. People, young Michael may be the best darned swimmer to ever represent the US, however focus. We are trying to get rid of the Repubs before they completely destroy this country.

Sorry CNN but this is not news. Are you guys running out of material? Or are you starting to give Obama the same treatment you gave Clinton? Hmmmm I wonder.

But just a word of what I have decided. Between Obama and McCain I am leaning towards McCain because he was in our armed forces and knows what it is to fight for our country. Every Every person I have known in the armed forces are so incredibly dedicated to this country in such a way that no one else can match such loyalty. Obama does seem to have that devotion. I can't vote for Obama and it's about time people stop obessesing with him. Good someone else is getting attention on facebook.

I'd vote for Ralph Wiggum if I could over McCain. McCain should pick him for VP.

Perhaps if Mr. Obama would have chosen the more logical, and more appropriate running mate maybe his popularity would have been double that of Mike Phelps. At least Phelps is swimming for the gold instead of searching for pearls in a puddle while being blinded by the mud. We can only hope that the delegates at the DNC Convention see the light and seat Hillary, the clear winner of the popular vote in the primaries, as Presidential candidate. While they're at it they might even seek to do away eith Super delegate system which unfairly places the rich and famous in a position to over-ride the Peaople's choice- Hillary Clinton.

Obama is so yesterday for the kids,

all the 13 yr old face book friends don't vote anyway.

Obama needs to try and run an adult campaign.

Comparing an Olympic swimmer to a US presidential candidate?

I think a better, more newsworthy comparison would be between the mainstream media and the dinosaurs of yesterday.

What next? Comparing John McCain with Ralph Wiggum?

Is he a Democrat???

I didn't drink the Kool-aid, Bob (NC)

Keep it up PUMAs and republicans. You can't take away what Obama and his supporters have accomplished. Is a shame you can't learn to appreciate someone reaching a "dream" or what otherwise would have been impossible for them or other African Americans no more that 10 years ago.

I give the good Senator credit – win or lose

How many Facebook fans does Hillary Clinton or John McCain have CNN?

VOTE
OBIDEN 08!!!!

Obama…

Ok your stupid

he's not MUSLIM!

All of Obama's young supporters who voted for "change" in the primary are now busy with other things and becoming less captivated since they've learned he's just another politician and nothing special.

I guess the kids have a new cult hero. Maybe you should just quit now osama.

Politics? At a football stadium? Well, I guess the election of our next President is more important than football…
