Ah yes, the CNN censor continues to cut anti-Obama posts…..

I cannot believe that on this historic night of the Democratic Convention CNN would run a McCain advertisement. What a rude and disrespectful thing to so.
The bottom line AND the major problem with this world is all about money.
My husband and I are extremely disappointed in CNN's poor taste.

My comment is we have already missed Nancy Pelosi and now the goon squad is talking over Michelle Obama, Let's SHUT UP and let us hear the speakers not the jerks that think they know everything.

I waited for the opening speech of Speaker Nancy Pelosi only to hear the ongoing commentary of Wolf Blitzer and Anderson Cooper speaking over her voice the entire length of the speech! Guys, she is the most powerful political female in the U.S. You're great commentators, but you could have let her be heard for at least a few moments…luckily the speech was aired in full on CNN en Espaňol.

We tuned in to CNN this evening to watch the democratic convention and have been sorely disappointed. So far all we see is Wolf Blitzer and Carvell and Anderson Cooper, the usual nightly crew, talking over the speakers and overplaying the speakers with commercials.

Some "coverage" !! There are people who actually want to see the convention and hear the speakers, so could these camera hogs pls give us a break.

What a bunch of crybabies! So he didn't pick Hillary, Thank God! As a NYS resident, I can tell you now that if he had picked her, I would have lost all of my respect for him She hasn't done anything that she promised us NYers, so why would I want her blowing smoke up my butt in the White House????? But, I guess that handing over the white house to a man whose biggest accomplishment and only topic of conversation is that he got caught in Vietnam.

This is almost funny. CNN has a crawl at the bottom of the screen that says "Convention speeches unfiltered and uninterrupted, yet they have not yet stopped talking over House speaker Pelosi. What happened to the uninterrupted part?

Hey
How come C-Span coverage of the convention is what I envisioned for CNN. Get away from the pundits and provide us with the meat which are the people who are at the podium. The Democratic party is about the people. Let them speak

Given how much time and money you have all spent at CNN to promote the DNC do you even know it's started?! For days and days you have been spending every spare minute talking about it, and you sent every correspondent you could find off to Denver. Yet in the 3+ hours it's been on you've barely shown a single thing! All you seem to be doing is showing people rudely playing with silly maps and having irrelevant conversations while the action goes on behind you. Personally I've turned over to CSPAN at least there I can watch the actual DNC and right now am listening to an amazing speech by Speaker Pelosi - perhaps someone at CNN might want to turn over and watch it too.

@ NOBAMA 08:

WE ARE IN A RECESSION……. AND JUST WAIT WHAT WILL HAPPEN TO OUR NATION IF MCWAR GETS HIS WAY……

OUR NATIONAL DEBT HAS DOUBLED DURING THE LAST 8YEARS OF MCCAIN/BUSH/CHENEY…….. AND MCCAIN WANTS TO CONTINUE

"BOMB……..BOMB………..BOMB IRAN" WITH WHAT MONEY? OH YEAH, WE CAN BORROW SOME MORE FROM THE SAUDIS AND THE CHINESE!

LET'S GET INTO SO MUCH DEBT……. THAT OUR NATION IS BANKRUPT…….. AND WITH ……….$10 TRILLION (THANKS TO BUSH) OF DEBT…….. WE ARE NOT FAR FROM DISASTER!

BUT GO AHEAD AND VOTE FOR MORE OF THE SAME!

I'll tell you what CNN needs to do… stop spending all the convention time talking about the Clintons!
This IS Obamas convention and we're not hearing anything about him at all!

This is the time to come together Democrats and AMERICA. Its time to be adults, there much to be lost if we dont learn the lesson from the last 8 years this is not the time for games. This is the time to take the country back for the average hard working, taxpaying americans. America has been long too divided and our inability to do whats best for the country as so called patriots is hindered because of it, let stop talking about patriotism and be patriots for america. In case you dont know, there are republican, democrat, black, white, other, soldiers fighting abroad. There is NO reason to be divided as a people, trust that the world is watching. Lets learn our lessons after the last 8 years and lets move this country forward together as americans.

Thom….Same reason they'll do it at the republican convention. This country,unfortunatelly does not vote, intellectually. on issues but on personality……

Do we really have to watch that? and then the Republican?

Hi,
I keep hearing that Michelle Obama will tell us about Barack's values in the Democratic Convention. I certainly hope these values are not the same values Edward's wife was talking about when she spoke about her husband while John Edwards was impregnating his own values in his publicist which by the way materialized after nine months.

Too much talk of the clinton's, And why does Michelle Obama need to explain how they are just like us. They are humans, they are Americans.

LT for Obama-get a grip and see my other post- part of comment was cut off in responding to Ron/Democrat. I am on your side.

I wonder why CNN, for the last few hours, is not discussing the issues around the democratic convention.
It gives the impression that it's only looking for controversies with the Clintons.

It keeps the hype going on, instead of talking politics.

I am watching online and I have to say…there has NEVER been better music at the convention than there is this year.

Get a grip folks. Dameun's finger slipped–he meant 30 million.
But this is the perfect example as to why this country is where it is. Instead of arguing the issues, we spend all this time on trivia.

Nobama,

Name one Nobel Laureate or leading economist BY NAME, and list his article, that supports your gibberish.

Or go and find your true purpose, being a compost heap.

I have always voted Democratic and if Hilary had won the nomination would have supported her even though I voted for Obama in the primary. For those Hilary supporters that are planning to vote Republican rather than vote for Obama…Question…….Did you forget how the Republicans treated the Clintons in Bill Clinton's last term in office? Explain that to me…..

Watching every bit of coverage.

The DNC did the right thing. Hillary would not have had enough delegates no matter how they could have sliced it.

No Hillary - not ever.

A sign of being insane is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different outcome. Get it people. Vote for Obama/Biden and only for a Democrate this time will get us all out of this insanity.

I'm happy when you don't post my post because that mean's I am doing my part. Vote for Obama 08 and 2012.

There is too little coverage of speakers inside the convention hall. Too much coverage of the small smear type demonstrators.
Let's see more of what the convention is about…going forward into the future with hope,
Please, less of the pundits opinion and gossip which is not uplifing in the least…
Fran
Washington State

Obama is our ONLY hope for this country. We have had 8 years of losing our good name, losing our economy, losing our dedicated soldiers. It's time to rid our country of politicians who don't have the best interest of our people at heart.

Why on earth are you not showing the Democratic convention, we have heard from your news media all week , we want to see the convention and the American citizens and hear what they say!

Nancy

A simply question for those people who say Obama has no international experience, how much experience did Bush have.Oh, that's right he speaks Spanish….

Val (6:24)

I thought that I was the only one who noticed that mathematical error, then I realized that Dameun was an Obama supporter, (figures!)

Ah, the socialist party of Dean/Pelossi/Reid/Obama proudly opens its little hate session. Maybe such illuminaries such as Madonna, Michael Moore, and Hugo Chavez will make a suprise appearance. Wow, the collective IQ and moral climate of Denver just dropped off the chart.

Bush was a drunk and now they are trying to elect a drug user and someone who spent 20 years in a hate church and teaching his kids to be the next generation of haters. It could only happen in america.

They need to stop reading from the television prompter. It sounds very artificial and unemotional.

CNN, please stop deleting my reality responses to people's concerns. If you can come up with something better, please POST it and I'd be glad to read it:
As I grow older, now in my 60's here are some things that I have learned:

1. The Democrats have low IQ levels when in comes to politics; the Republicans have very high IQ levels in the area of politics.

2. Democrats are emotional (kind of sissy-like); the Republicans are emotionally-stable, determined, and have a clear goal–TO WIN!!

3. The Democrats worship their candidates (the person), the Republicans are very faithful about the party, not the candidate (even when such a candidate is dumb or senile, he or she will get their support).

4. The Republicans are great at running campaigns, but terrible at running a large nation such as the U.S.

5. The Democrats love to lose (losers); the Republicans love to win at all cost, no matter the means!

6. The Independents are the true Genuises; only they can rescue the "wimpy" Democrats from the hungry-politically smart Republicans!

So, this is the last and best opportunity the Dems will ever have, for the next 20 years, to regain the White House. Let us watch them screw it up again because of their goddess!

i am a 50 year old black american and i have always loved my
country. i am so sad because once again the media has found
a way to divide our country. now we have dems fighting dems .while
our children are dying in a senseless war and our elders are dying from lack of health insurance. w e must rise above all this and unite and take back our country or we will be sorry. i have heard some blacks say that they wont vote because if obama wins the white people will only kill him. i dont believe that because there are to many whites who love him

100% for Obama-Biden. Don't want to lose My SS, my nephews
unemployment checks when he is not working in the smeltering
sun as a cement finisher and days that it rains. The jobs that should be available for
my son, the excellent student who received a letter of commendation
when he left the full term of the US Navy, excelled in College and
can't find a job.

To the gentleman who saaid there were 300 million African Americans in this country…….. aren't your figures a little high??? Too bad they didn't cast their vote in the primaries on issues rather than race. Also, don't forget he"s half white but usually doesn't mention that.

Dameun Strange - The entire US population is barely over 300 million of which 12-13 percent is African American.

D. Strange - 300 million huh? Check your facts, then maybe check some facts about nobama

I hope every woman that supported Hillary, either monetarily, or physically like I did, DOES not support or vote for Obama. I think Obama picking Mr. Biden, one of the oldest thinking Washington politicans, over picking Hillary was a great slap in the face. If Obama wants a new Washington and that way thinking why would he pick Mr. Biden. I like hundreds of other women are really upset by that. I also
think it was a let down from Hillary, giving in to Obama. My vote is now going to Sen. McCain. I think he is the most honest politician I have heard yet.

McDraft

Senator Obama is in another state campaigning and his wife is there. Just because you did not see her on the stage does not mean she is not there. As I watched the earlier preparations, I saw her there getting ready for her speech later.

Get a grip.

As for all you Hillary supporters, she is currently in Denver speaking unity, you should take a lesson from her and support the country and not personal feelings. GROW UP ALREADY!!!!!!!!!!!

Great idea: Let's reverse Re vs. Wade. Let's set this country BACK four decades! Are you kidding me??? This is how OUT OF TOUCH McCAin is!!!!! All of you Hillary supporters need to WAKE UP and accept the fact that you cannot vote for her for President this year. She has endorsed Obama. Maybe you should see why and support him too.

GOBAMA!!!

Dameun Strange,

According to US Census Bureau the population in the US as of 2007 is at 301,621,157. I am puzzled by your statement. Where did you get your information from?

NObama 2008…"Read My lips, no new taxes" didnt work for Bush Sr. and it wont work for Mcsame

STOP GREEN HOUSE GASES BY GIVING MCCAIN SOME DUCT TAPE.IF HE DONT KNOW WHERE TO PUT IT.I CAN TELL HIM JUST WHERE IT SHOULD BE PUT.MR.MCCAIN WHAT SIDE OF STUPID ARE YOU ON?

It would be nice for CNN to let us watch the convention. All I've seen, an hour into the convention, is a variety of CNN's commentators, a very brief occasional view of the floor. Come on! We can even understand, if you let us see it! The comments by your "reporters" is becoming more than redundant.

ObamaBiden08

noticed that neither of the obama were at the opening of the convention is that so they didn't have to be there for the national anthem or the prayer or is it just co-incidence that it worked out that way
How completely lame can you get?

Puma forget about the black vote if BO don't win this year. HRC will not win in 20012. We will feel like we just got slaped in the face and feel like our votes won't even count. So the future is not good for the dems if BO is not the President. Like it or not ; just think about it.

noticed that neither of the obama were at the opening of the convention is that so they didn't have to be there for the national anthem or the prayer or is it just co-incidence that it worked out that way

Last chance for Hillary to save face. If she doesn't reel in her fanatical few, she and her cheating husband will forever be know as the first family that got impeached, AND handed the election over to the senile old man that started WW3.

OK CNN block this one too!

Maybe if I add this Hillary is sooooo great, we love her! Now CNN keep this one blog in!

Obama/Biden 08 and 12

The McCain campaign is running a TV ad attacking Obama with statements that are literally true but paint an incomplete picture.

It says he "voted against funding our troops." He did – exactly once. Obama cast at least 10 votes for war-funding bills before voting against one last year, after Bush vetoed a version that contained a date for withdrawal from Iraq.

It says he "hasn't been to Iraq for years." He was headed there at the time the ad was released, however, and had been there in 2006.

It says he "never held a single hearing on Afghanistan." It was the full Senate Foreign Relations Committee, not Obama's subcommittee, that had the hearings on this global hot spot, and Obama attended one of those. Over the same time period, McCain himself attended none of the Afghanistan hearings held by the Armed Services Committee on which he serves.

True Leadership!!!

Now the DNC is gonna count Michigan and Florida.. had they done that during the primary season, Hillary would have been the nominee.. this whole thing was rigged.

PUMAs Unite! Vote McCAIN now.. as distasteful as it may be.. so that we can all vote for HILLARY in 2012 !!!!!

Go Democrats!!!!!! I am excited to see and hear everything that they have to say. I hope Americans across the country are listening with open ears!

Go Democrats! Go Obama! Go Biden!!!!!

The Obama campaign has figured out what the Kerry campaign did wrong in 2004 and now wants to run in 2008 against George W. Bush?

What a joke.

HILLARY CLINTON FOR PRESIDENT

Good Luck Dems. You have my vote.

Republican here… Not voting for McCain. Eight years of suffering was long enough. I don't care about the infighting, the pundits, the 24 hr news bonanza… I'm going to do the right thing and give the Dems a chance to have back the White House.

I can't believe these so-called "PUMA's". Hillary supporters need to wake up to the fact that this country is a democratic one, and that a majority rules. Obama won fair and square. I can't believe the ignorance of the Hillary supporters threatening to vote for McCain, or not at all for that matter. As a woman, I felt a difference with gender as it relates to the workforce for the first time this year. I was making 10% less than a male in the same position, hired after me, with less experience. McCain does not support equal pay for equal work. Obama does. Obama earned all of his money by being smart, McCain was born priviledged, and then married into a goldmine.
People need to take the time to learn the facts and pay attention to the issues. Get over the anger and make an EDUCATED decision!!! Who is Hillary supporting? OBAMA!

Don't let McCorrupt and the republican party fool you-
Barack may not have been in Washington long enough to be corrupted, but he is a breath of fresh air that genuinely WANTS to help the American people. Sometimes fresh faces give fresh approaches to setting the budget and health care system straight. Have faith and give him a chance.

McCain will say anything to get elected, but he is controlled by big money. One thing we all know for sure: McCain will talk but will get NOTHING done. This will keep things the same and will hurt all of us.

Oh and btw…if McCain gets into office, ROE vs. WADE will be overturned.

So Far so good Unity is definately present and the Dems are finally taking back the whitehouse come November!!

The first poster doesn't seem to realize we're already there.

Maybe the Democratic Congress could do more if there was not a record number of bills filibustered by the Repubs this session. The Democratic Congress has been in office since 2006, we've been in a deficit for years before that and at war for both Bush terms with nothing to show for it.

noticed that neither of the obama were at the opening of the convention is that so they didn't have to be there for the national anthem or the prayer or is it just co-incidence that it worked out that way

why is half the stadium empty?!

I'm supposed to comment about a picture of a guy on a TV screen?

ok……..

the pic came out pretty good. the photographer can pat himself on the back.

Lets see if you post this CNN?

I'm going to watch the DNC, but I'm doing it on C-SPAN! Boycotting CNN from this day forward, and spreading the word! You all are so biased that its not even funny!!! Get a life all you McCainiacs, with your PUMA crap!

To Mojo,

You need to listen to all financial experts. Obama's policies will cause us to go into depression, if enacted.

Raising taxes is not the answer and will only cause the exconomy to slow further and drive us further into recession and possibly depression. If you know nothing about economics, please just keep quiet.

HILLARY HILLARY HILLARY HILLARY HILLARY
HILLARY HILLARY HILLARY HILLARY HILLARY
HILLARY HILLARY HILLARY HILLARY HILLARY

* FOR PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES! *

I bet that if Obama wins and has a %100 approval rating in 2012 there will still be a very few people that will try to get Hillary nominated… even if she doesnt run. Thats not support. That's a religion.

I was a HUGE Hillary supporter, and I always will be. And as much as I would have loved to have had a woman in the white house, it just wasn't her time.

To all of my other Hillary suporters: Let's celebrate what Hillary stands for and help stand up for what she believes in! Neither McCain nor Obama will ever be a true replacement for Hillary, but Obama at least shares her values, has Hillary's drive, and is not another old white man.

I pray for the day I can watch a woman become president as I watch the returns with my daughters, but until then, let's all vote for the next best this time around and vote Obama into office! Who's with me??

-Judy

To: "NObama 2008 (first post):
Your buddies in the current WH have already well taken care of driving the country into recession. Hopefully the next (Obama/Biden) administration will give an uplift and we can be back to regular business. Thant's all I want.

I am so tired of these "Clinton Democrats". Don't call yourself a democrat, if you are going to vote for McCain. Stay at home, then watch the United States fall deeper into debt, watch the wealthier get their tax cuts while the VAST majority that would receive tax breaks under the Obama plan receive none under the McCain plan. Oh, and also watch as McCain selects a conservative supreme court justice and women find themselves seeing health coverage for Viagara and nont for birth control and unable to choose things like abortion. These angry Clinton supporters aren't Democrats, they're Clinton worshippers… This is about more than Hillary Clinton. Get over yourselves.

JM, Orlando: yeah, you'll make a difference, a difference for the worst. You'll have accomplished nothing, you'll have destroyed Clinton's future chance at the presidency (and disregarded her wishes), given the country back to the neocons who have manipulated you, and acted on your emotions instead of your brains. Nice going.

That is, unless you're really an Operation Chaos agent. In that case, I really hope you rot in Hell for perverting democracy. You are going against everything this country stands for out of blind partisanship.

Stay Home

People…Get a Life!

JUST SAY NO TO ARROGANCE,
Just say no to someone who disrepected former President Clinton and who so disrepected a sitting Senator, Hillary Clinton.
And Obama continues the disrespect even this evening !
And whose jut-jawed wife wrote her disgusting and disrespectiful thesis about whites in America.

The only candidate qualified to be president on the Denver stage is Hillary Clinton.

Jack from Orlando…there are 300 million African Americans in this country…try to win an election without us.

C A L L I N G—A L L—P U M A S

I see the stupids are coming out. Poor Linda and Griff,I bet he's married to a Miffy.They seem to be taking the Rove, Atwater lower road.For those who don't know or remember,Lee was the Carl Rove during the Nixon yrs. After he learned he was dying of cancer he apologize to the American people dirty tricks.

I love John McCain and Rush Limbaugh and cant wait to get inducted.

@ Sacto Joe- Wow, I didn't know our governement was so flawed that one party and president could ruin our whole economy. Remember, Bush is possibly the least qqualified president ever, but every repub is like him or like him for that matter. And the other small thing to note- we have had a Democratic congress.

The DNC needs to be purged after what it did to the FL and MI primaries.

If the Dems do not fully support Obama in this race, they run the risk of alienating the black vote which they have taken for granted for decades. I can guarantee that like myself, many African Americans will refuse to vote for this party. There are plenty of parties that respect our contributions and will benefit from our strong candidates that we can provide. Look at the Green Party…You think that 2000 was something, wait until 2012 if The Clinton's and there church of falsehood cost us this election.

You watch gavel to gavel coverage—-I have better things to do than listen to BS unless they want to nominate Hillary.

Remember 25% of us are voting for McCain or staying home. Should have picked Hillary over Biden because our 4.5 million votes could make the difference.

Proud Hillary Clinton Democrats!

CLINTON '12

No one is there (literally and figuratively).

I am so electrified, whoooohooooooooo

In spite of what CNN and all the other media in thrall to the right wing can do, Obama is on course to win this election.

The reason is dead simple: The U.S. is heading into a deep recession, thanks to seven long years of bungling by the Republicans and their President.

I hope we are not going to elect an E student to be our President.

Bush was a C student.

McCain, was an E student..so just imagine what is going to happen to the country.

Why aren't you guys reporting on Guliani and romney setting up shop in Denver to give "a GOP perspective of the DN Convention? Not that anybody cares about the GOP perspective, it's still news.
If Yahoo news gave the opprotunity to comment on political stories I would say SO LONG SUCKERS and never post here again

obama, obama, obama
obama, biden, obama biden
08/12, 08/12

I make this promis today!!! If Barack Obama is Elected CIC of the USA, I will hnever watch CNN again…. Never!!!!!!!!!!

Gosh I hope it gets more exciting than this!!!!!!!

Come watch our plans to lead the U.S. economy into depression. Ok, Dems!
