Have any of you fools who keep slamming Bill Clinton actually LOOKED at the polls? McCain is beating Obama hands down and it's only August!!! Even Kerry was up by double digits by now. Hillary polled 6 pts higher than Obama last week and she's suspended her campaign for TWO MONTHS. Bill's point (and he's right) is that Obama CANNOT WIN THE GENERAL. He cannot pull in the center. He doesn't have the experience or record to show he can get things done. YOU PEOPLE will be the ones held responsible for throwing away the biggest cakewalk election in Democratic history by allowing the media and the DNC to throw democracy out the window in order to select an unelectable candidate. We will never forgive you or this party!

I stopped watching the Democratoc cenvention on CNN. Iam an independent and have a open mind about the candidates however your coverage is mostly about the Republicans when it should be about this convention. Also there is so much negativity from the commentators. Iam disappointed in the coverage so I just listen to the radio and read the papers. What will you talk about next week!!!! McCain is getting all of this free time with the ads that you all keep repeating over and over again…It is boring!!!!!!!1

d

…dude, what???

what a jerk

Hillary needs to realize that the party's over for her in 2008, and probably in the future too. Her astronomical negatives are never going away. Best she focus her life on being a great senator (as Teddy Kennedy has done) and know that she has paved the way for (another) woman to be President – once President Obama has served his two terms!!!

CNN…. can you please report real news and stop trying to create controversy??

Obama '08

Is he talking about McCain = X and Obama = Y?

It's so wonderful to hear Bill Clinton talking straight to the point. No other President has been able to do what Bill Clinton did for this country. How great was our life when he was our President we had it all for 8 years until the morron of Bush appeared and he found stupid people to vote for him. Bill will be in history for ever because he is unique!

Troublemaking again; aren't you CNN. Please stop being a gossip organization. Get back to real news, please!

All this must be so galling to the Clintons, especially after they worked so hard at bringing down Howard Dean, then working so hard behind the scenes to do the same with Kerry. Now this. Who woulda thunk it: OBAMANIA ! ! Could they have handled it any worse?!?!

I like Bill when he was president but how come he become such a sore loser geeeezzzzzzzzzzz get over it.

It seems that the Clinton's have not received the facts that the message is not about them, it's about replacing a Republication Administration that has been disastrous to the USA. They should remind their supporters that this election is being watched all over the world, and what others are seeing is not "America, the land of the Free and the Brave"; but "supporters" saying they will vote for McCain instead of the presumptive nominee.
Those people watching are going to register one thing, is the "Democratic Party" capable of a non-partisan election. These are the same people we are trying to sell "Democracy for all People".

I am voting for Obama this year and if he does happen to lose I am voting for anyone other then Clinton in 2012.

It is in the Clinton's interest to make sure that they help Obama be elected. If they don't, majority of democrats would never forgive them and they could as well kiss their political legacies good bye. As for Bill's X and Y analogy I think he should substitute the variables with names because some of us have forgotten our Algebra.

I love you, Bill Clinton!

Quit complaining & just vote for the candidate of your choice!!

I think its wonderful that since announcing Biden, Obama has fallen 3 points. Its gonna be Mc Cain in Nov.

Obama is a meanie for not picking Hillary. How can you possibly vote for someone that mean?!?

Don't the Clintons realize that if they continue to undermine Obama and McCain wins, Hillary doesn't stand a snowball's chance in hell of ever winning an election again? Never mind the presidency, she won't win another term in the Senate.

Bill just hasn't been the same since his surgery…. poor guy….

Obama/Biden '08!

Ever wonder what will happen when Hillary Clinton tries to run again. Obama's 94% of blacks, young people and hard-working white people will never forgive her for this mess and they will not vote for her.

Republicans in office for another 16 years.

If Bill Clinton and his experianced wife would sneak off to outer mongolia and not reapear until after the election was over, I think Obama would win this thing in a breeze. Bill was a good president but right now he is a pain in the buttocks

THEY HAVE BOTH LOST IT!!

If John McSame is not the Maverick of old (and he is not), then Bubba Clinton is somewhere out in lulu land.

do the clintons not realize what they are doing to themselves? bill clinton is bitter and can't believe he lost the whitehouse for his wife with no more experience than obama. bill wanted the reign of president for himself folks! if obama loses this race it will be because of the clintons and thier biget uneducated white folk supporters. her time has come and gone because whatever the outcome of this race obamas supporters will never vote for her in 2012. there will be someone else young and fresh from a new generation to replace obama and never forget clinton followers their was more of us obama voters than you had for clinton. she is done and over with and because of the clintons we will probably have to wait 4 more years to elect a new face to get this country turned around. and it sure will not be chealsea clinton!!!

he says there is only X and Y…that's his problem…not thinking outside the box.

don't vote for Obama or McCain…they're both unable to deliver…or be believeable.

I Laugh! I cannot stop it! You just cannot please the fans of Obama! Clinton is more intelligent, more accomplished, more experienced than Obama. He knows what he's talking about. He has substance. You all should listen to him.

Bill Clinton…speaking the truth again…always gets him in trouble with the dreamers of false hopes.

While everyone is bashing the Clintons i'm celebrating that Obama is finally losing in the Gallup polls.

Thanks everybody!!

This rivaley reminds the one betwenn former Prime Minister Jean Chrétien and aspiring Prime Minister Paul Martin. At the end the membership and the party as awhole have suffered the brunt of it and it still trying to find again its idebtity. If true, this is a unity killer and not good for the Democrats. It all depnds how bad they want the presidency! They will have to unite quick or suffer a lost at the hand of McCain. AS for CNN reporting, most of their analysts are over the top and obsessed with making the news eather then reporting it.
And the king of them all is Lou Dobb who specializes in putting together shows after shows of negative and destructive comments about any public administration. May be he should run for office, any office and then I would invite me on my show!!!

Does Bill Clinton have a clue what he is talking about?

He is nonsensical. If it really means "This has nothing to do with what's going on now." then why make comments that cause us to think you are on some heavy duty controlled substances.

I have doubts about that boy's mental faculties.

What in the hell is Bill talking about?

So, now the same people who say Senator Obama has no experience are proclaiming Chelsea for 2020? I will never understand what makes some people tick.

CNN, really? You got a peek at Pres. Clinton's speech and that's what he says? I believe CNN wants to keep the Clinton-drama going, even if the Clinton are over it! Its not working.

People are tuning in to MSNBC, for a more balanced 'spin' on the elections. Why is CNN changing into "Faux" News?

There are a MAJORITY OF THE 18 MILLION FOR CLINTON that now support Sen. Obama. I know several myself.

Clinton and Obama had the same concerns and similar ideas…………. those who are insisting on "Hillary or McCain" are……… RUSH-THE-VOTE-NUTS" why give them press coverage????????????????

demos

I loved it when Caroline Kennedy burned Mr. Wolf try anything to dis Obama and support the Clinton's. It was really nice to see him shut up for once, the commentary was much quieter and less negative once she shot him down good!. – Way to go Caroline.

With friends like that, who needs enemies? It sounds like he's suggesting that people should go vote for McCain. I am extremely disappointed in Bill. There's no way I would cast a Clinton vote ever again. If I were Obama, I think I'd ask Bill to stay home.

Phil from Philly is a fool

Bill, it's last call at the Mustang Ranch — time to shut your pie hole and go home if you can't support your party's nominee.

The Clinton supporters have lost their minds. Chelsea? Come on!!

It's not going to be Hillary and it's certianly not going to be Chelsea. If you people throw this whole election like little babies who didn't get their way, your candidate will never be elected to any office again.

DOn't you realize that Obama will give her any job she wants? One where she'll be able to do a hell of a lot more than she would as VP! You people are so blinded by disappointment you're going to ruin the chances for the rest of this country.

YOU MAKE ME SICK!!

CNN quoting Bill Clinton: "Suppose you're a voter, and you've got candidate X and candidate Y, …Candidate X agrees with you on everything, but you don't think that candidate can deliver on anything at all. Candidate Y you agree with on about half the issues, but he can deliver. Which candidate are you going to vote for?"

I'm voting for Candidate Z! the one who I agree with on more than half of the issues and who has delivered and can deliver.

BARR '08!

MR. PRESIDENT, YOU HAD YOUR EIGHT YEARS IN THE WHITE HOUSE AND SHOULD PROUD OF YOUR ACCOMPLISHMENTS.
YOU HOWEVER BROUGHT A LOT OF SHAME TO THE PEOPLE'S
HOUSE WITH SOME DISGRACEFUL THINGS YOU COMMITTED.
MOST OF THE PEOPLE FORGIVE YOU FOR YOUR DOWNFALLS.
THE PRIMARY WAS WON FAIRLY BY SEN. OBAMA AND SHOULD BE OUR NEXT PRESIDENT. YOU SHOULD NOW SUPPORT SEN. OBAMA AS THE PEOPLE OF THE COUNTRY SUPPOTED YOU IN YOUR GOOD TIMES AND BAD. IT IS TIME FOR YOU TO MOVE ON AND MOVE ASIDE.

Vote for McCain and be the first to enlist your children to the military you cowards!

Oh wahhhhhhhhh…..guess old Willy forgot about his White House impeachment. He brought about as much shame to the White House as any president ever thought of.

John Mcain 08 — Hillary 12 — oh wait there will be no 2012 because McCain will have nuked civilization to nothingness by then

Oh for heaven's sake. Chill out people. The media is twisting and turning everything. Turn on Cspan and vote Obama in November. The media can get blood out of a turnip if they had to. This is insane. If the dems lose the election we have the networks of CNN, FOX and MSNBC to thank. Unbiased my butt.

Obama couldnt even deliver as senator.

He said he was against the war but earmarked money to defense contractors and made some of their execs his campaign staff.

He says he is for universal healthcare but only covers children and requires his brand of insurance to be paid or stiff penalties to parents. Meanwhile drug company lobbyist work on his campaign.

No I think I will stick with Hillary. That means voting for McCain to get rid of the Obama phony and then voting Hillary later.

Hillary 012

I really have to admit, CNN has no credibility with how they report. Disregarding the past of John McCain, his numerous criminal activities and out right treason to the US. Their headlines are superficial and less respectful the propoganda films made by John McCain when he was in the Military.

I will freely admit I'm getting worried about the intentions of the 'free' press. Hey, they are free to do as they choose, but we need to be free to choose how honest and non partisan these people are.

They are making a mockery of 'freedom of the press". There has to be responsible reporting, equal reporting, and newsworthy news. Unless you have all three of those accounted for in an article, you are nothing more then a tabloid.

And to be fair, a bit of unfair press has gone to McCain, but nowhere near the amount of trash about his past that could be rummaged through and ferreted out. Where's the professionalism people?

There will be no vote for Mr. Obama from me. If Nancy Pelosi said Obama's name one more time during her cheerleading rah, rah, she would have gagged the nation. The Democrats have turned on the Clinton's and are force-feeding the nation Obama happy meals. The whole thing is overcompensation and it's so apparent. It's a write-in for Hillary. Biden over Hillary, Obama is a loser.

I was and am a Hillary supporter–but unlike Obama's followers, we
don't have the cult mentality that will follow Clinton even if she
tells us to do something reprehensible.Albert Einstein said–Never do
anything against conscience even if the state demands it.Seems like
really great advice from a smart man.I must vote against the DNC,
because anything less is comparable with condoning corrupt, backdoordeals that take away our right to free and fair elections.

You Obama guys, let President Bill Clinton in peace. Let Obama win if he can!!! If not don´t blame president Clinton. You are so a blind, why do you hate president Clinton, one of the greatest president Usa has ever had!? I am sick of those people who use every thing to put president Clinton in a bad situation. You gonna cry loudly in November when Obama loses. And he is going to because of you!

What does that even mean?

Bill Clinton is a seasoned statesman who understands how important it is to bring the party together and get a Democrat in the Whitehouse. Then he and Hillary will probably get prominent roles to play in the new government and will continue their positive legacy. Otherwise, if they help to cause a loss for Obama, they know everyone will remember this and that would definitely end her future chances at the Whitehouse. They probably realize now after seeing how McCain is using her footage for attack ads, that they would have been even more brutal if she had been the VP. She would probably have been a real lightning rod for the religious right.. It's unfortunate but that's how the Republicans seem to do things.

Where are the issues? Why aren't we discussing that instead of who did or didn't win or get the respect they felt they deserved? We are so off message and caught up in these catfights which at the end of the day have not done one thing to make this country better! Our economy is on the rocks, gas prices are through the roof, AND to make matters worse, these petty distractions are giving the Republicans a cakewalk into the White House! We had better think about what is important!

You PUMAs need to realize that what goes around comes around – you want to destroy's Obama's chances for this election so that Hillary can run in 2012? I hope you realize that she will then need Obama's supporters on board as well – and what are Obama supporters going to do? We're gonna remember exactaly what you are doing now – Hillary will never be nominated because for how you are all acting towards Obama. You are trying to help and support Clinton but all you are doing is destroying any chances she will have to run for president again.

OBAMA/BIDEN

What did he say after that….???

If there one thing I have learned from the democratic primaries and this election year…sound bites ARE NOT RELIABLE to the whole truth of the statement!!!!

CNN do some none biased journalism and give us the whole story….

CNN shame on you and Bill. Why I ask? Why do you continue to promote and pubish such foolishness. You know the bible talks about your kind, they call you busy bodies and whispers who love to make division. Is this how you want to be categorized?

Bill need to go sit down somewhere; he has totally lost the respect of the American people and if I were Obama I would have him taken off the Convention role to speak. Man up Obama and release this nat back into the abist where he belongs. I will never vote for another Clinton. They are despicable and a bunch of sore losers.

This has gotten totally out of control. People are suffering and this is the type of foolishnes they have to deal besides choosing between two candidates right now that are both beginning to be worrisome. I am just SICK!!!!

What did he say after that….???

Ff there one thing I have learned from the democratic primaries and this election year…sound bites ARE NOT RELIABLE to the whole truth of the statement!!!! CNN to none biased journalism and give us the whole story….

Another thought — all these whiny Hillary supporters need to come clean and just admit that they are racists. They've no principled argument for being upset, they're only complaining because a White woman lost to a Black man. If you're going to be absolute idiots, at least own up to the position and admit that you're racist.

Why are they having former President Clinton talk about National Security?
His expertise is the Economy. This country was trillions of dollars in the black when he left office.
I can't stand Obama or the DNC. They are afraid he will out shine Obama.
Obama/Biden (35 years in the system) are rhetoric

This is why Barack Obama did not pick Hillary as a running mate. Blame Bill, not Barack.

CNN you sure want there to be trouble between the Clintons and Obama. Wish you would get you act together and perhaps do a little "reporting". For example why not ask McCain about his gambling and the bouts of alcohol abuse. What about his being intoxicated or hung over which led to his being a P.O.W.?

Stop it McCNN

Wow, Bill. You deserve all the cricism that will come your way on this one. I looked over a lot of what you said in the primary, but this is too much. ANY democrat is better than ANY republican. You simply must believe that if you profess to be a party leader.

BILL CLINTON IS SUCH AN IDIOT! SOMEONE PUNCH HIM IN THE MOUTH AND LOCK HIM IN A CLOSET.

It's comments like these that confirm Hillary should not have been Obamas choice for VP. What would he have done with Bill????

WHAT A JOKE!

This is turning into the Clinton Convention. Obama is becoming a sideshow. And it's his own inability to reconcile with Hillary after the primaries. They had an agreement that she'd stump for him and he'd help her retire her campaign debt. She came through, he didn't. Also his campaign tried to paint Bill Clinton, among others, as being racist during the primary. It's not nice to try to ruin the legacy of a former president – especially one who has done so much for civil rights. Obama not only didn't reconcile with the Clintons, he is widening the rift – right there in Denver. I think the case for Obama having superior Judgement is about put to bed. He's a rookie and he's making rookie mistakes. Now the next two nights will be all about the Clintons and the spotlight won't be on Obama. What a HUGE mistake!

It is sad that you Americans have a difficult decision to make when voting for the next President of United States!

Where's John Madden when you really need him?!?

Bill,

You have just become the spokes person for the McCain Democrats!

There are Millions of us!

Clad to have you on our side!

We will win with the Candidate that can deliver!

McCain 08

I just don't understand Bill Clinton… it feels as if he doesn't want any democrat to succeed him in the Oval office. He's a very intelligent man and I just have to believe that these weird comments he makes are on purpose. Well, if he can't say vote for Obama, I hope he atleast goes after McCain hard on tomorrow. I'm really starting to feel glad I wasn't old enough to vote for him.

BTW, CSPAN is by far the best route to watch the conventions. You'll hear every speech from gravel to gravel. Then you can turn to the CNNS, FOXS, MSNBCS for opinions and commentary.

"awaiting moderation" my foot!

Democrats Unit 08–Obiden 08

What a narcistic old evil man. I used to respect Bill Clinton…..NEVER AGAIN!!! America it's time to move on, will somebody go find a lady in a blue dress to keep him busy.

Bill:
If you can't say anything nice, don't say anything at all.

There is too much coverage given to this election. Anything that could possibly be considered a conflict is scrutinized. I heard one analyst this morning ask the other:

" What is Clinton thinking and What should she be thinking"

WAY TO MUCH COVERAGE… WAY TOO MUCH HUNTING FOR CONTROVERSY.

Here is an idea.. Wait for it to happen then cover it.. WOW!!!

"I know Senator McCain has a lifetime of experience that he will bring to the White House. And, Senator Obama has a speech he gave in 2002."

Smartest this a Democrat ever said! LMAO

CNN Stop stirring the pot trying to create news!!
And start reporting news..and the news is that Hillary and Bill will be at the convention to unite the party!!

Don't tell me my comment is undergoing moderation!

"This has nothing to do with what's going on now"
It is lefthanded things like this that cost Hillary the nomination, people are truly tired of the games being played on their minds. These Clintons think they can say and do anything that comes to their minds and people will just suck it up and take it, well Hill and Bill we won't. You just like everybody else will have to give an account for the things you say and do and guess what no one owes you anything! You can not strong arm your way in this race, as you once again see it has backfired in your faces. Just like you've expected the people you have wronged over the years to do you need to do SUCK IT UP AND GET OVER IT cause we are moving on with Obama and Biden as our leaders all the way to the WH.

Instead of continuing to cause more trouble what you need to be doing for your own good is to help heal all the destruction you have caused, it's like you all are on a self destruction mission.

i wish it were Hillary on the Demoratic ticket. these are honest people and not everyone can take honesty in their face. Obama is all fluff and appeasement. McCain lives in 1970s.

Just like "Bushwhacked in Eugene, OR" I feel the same way.
Its Sad Really…
The Clintons sure can harbour hard feelings…..Its a crying shame.
I personally will hold the Clintons and thier camp persoanlly if Obama lose this election. After all I belive they are trying to underminde Obama.
And if this is the case then Hillay can saw goodbye to here political aspiration. Because what goes around comes around especially in politics.

What a sad, bitter man…

I would not blame the Clintons one bit if they were upset, after the way the obama camp has treated them. Don't think for one minute that the public is digesting all this. And they are outraged and disappointed with obama and the DNC. And maybe Hillary will ask them to vote for obama but I'll be darn if I DO….I WOULDN'T VOTE FOR HIM IF HE WAS THE LAST PERSON IN THIS COUNTRY.

So he said your Wife yhas a "Stain on he Character" Because she won't bend and kiss his (obama's Rear-End. This is what you, allow them to do??? The Black's have some crazy Idea Obama's somebody!! He's A Liar for Sure…

I stand by Bill.

Yes those are the sentiments of a hurtful man that can't come to grips that his wife lost fair and square.

The pain comes from the fact Hillary was a huge favorite and nobody expected Obama to pull off the big upset.

It was all about Iowa. Time to turn the page Bill and stop being a sore loser.

THe clintons need to take a HUGE pill and CHILL and GET AWAY as far away as possible from the US

WE DONT WANT MORE DYNASTIES

what makes them so ENTITLED?? I just dont get it??
they keep taking center stage, this is not about them
this is about the people of the US
about the next president

the clintons are old news..
by the way I am glad PUMAS are following the advice of Rush Limbaugh
thank you you just gave the presidency to McCAin

and you wonder why billary is not campaigning as she should for Obama,
simple: she is following Libmaugh's advice,

she knows if she is quiet and does not say a th ing to her pumas, McCain will win and she can wash her hands and say it was Obama's fault. .now she is electable for 2012

we will make sure she is not… either McCain or McBush
she helped us..
even Carville the guy that looks like a GUSANO is showing his true colors

i hated the clintons but they are bringing victory to McCain so i can learn to stomach them..

I agree. PBS did have better coverage as oppose to looking for faults in everything, they just reported the evenings events. We need to stop looking for controversy, and allowing our personal opinions to get in the way.

I think Bill will do a good job stumping for President Obama, because in his heart (even though he was disappointed) he knows that President Obama will do wonders for this country.

I could not support someone I thought would be bad for my country, why should Bill? Both Bill and Hillary are betweena rock and a hard place.

The media is once again reading far too much into this. Give it a rest already!

Clinton makes a good point. Seems like the only people who think Obama can deliver are his blind groupies.

I feel just sick the roll call vote is going to be stoped at New York. What if Hillary is ahead at that time. I took the Supreme court to stop the vote in 2000. It just take Obama in 2008.

I used to love CNN. It was my source for information since the 2000 election which was the first time I was able to vote in a presidential election. Increasingly I become disappointed. I watched the "Best Political Team" trash Hillary and praise Obama and instigate divisiveness in the Democratic party. Now that it's Obama and McCain they're trashing Obama and continuing to instigate divisiveness in the entire country. I mean how can you say race, gender, age have no place in the election and then turn around and have all these polls based upon demographics. Exactly how do we distinguish between when something said is playing a bias card and when demographics information is just being reported…straight facts…yeah right.

i wish it were Hillary on the Demoratic ticket. these are hones people and not everyone can take honesty in their face. Obama is all fluff and appeasement. McCain lives in 1970s.

and Bill was wondering why Obama didn't choose his wife. You just provided the reason.

CNN your so full of it.

Bill, there's such a thing as overdoing it, enough already. Actually i think as long as Bil continues to be so standofish, it could benefit BO.

I used to like Bill. It's funny that, now he isn't running for anything, he shows his real personality: an egotistical, condescending, my-way-or-the-highway jerk.

Go play golf with George Bush, and let the current guard try to fix our nation, Bill.

I don't care if it costs Barack the Presidency. I want him to dump the Clinton's. If doesn't win and she tries to run in 4 years. I can promise you that all the pundits are going to be talking about the black folks and wondering if they will support her. The answer will be NO.

If candidate X is riding in a train traveling 60 mph towards candidate Y, and candidate Y is traveling 50 mph away from candidate X, how long will it take before candidate Z's supporters demand that candidate X make the entire convention about how great candidate Z and her husband are?

With all the "Hillary bring it home for Obama" it sounds like the convention is at her feet to deliver. Can I ask one question, if she is so pivotal in the election and a make or break for Obama, why is she NOT the nominee. From all the comments from Obama supporters you would think he was nothing without her. Just a question???

I'll be watching PBS Newshour again tonight and every night there after because thy are the only ones that are showing unbias coverage. Anyone who wants reporting of the news not making the news up come join me.

Fully agree with demos coments. As I have gone from station to staition, I have found the CNN has consitantly try to make something out of nothing and have failed to provide fair and balace coverage. CNN I'm very disapointed.

Bill SHOULD NOT BE ALLOWED to speak at this convention. He is a poor sport and does not reflect well upon Mr. Obama or the democratic party. He quit being a role model years ago at least to me and my children. My teens now call oral sex "a Bill Clinton." Thanks, Bill — you're a real peach.

Boohoo..Bill behaves like an overgrown baby. Hasn't he ever lost in his lifetime? Or rather does he know how to accept and acknowledge defeat? My oh my how his legacy is dwindling..or maybe come to think of it, he's bewitched!

A year ago, I said I'd vote for Hillary in a heartbeat! However, it was the continuing ill-advised (or maybe highly calculated or possibly just plain stupid) remarks made by Bill and virtually backed by Hill that turned me off. Bill continues to say really stupid things. I wish he'd just go off to Africa and do his good work there for, oh, say, the next twenty five years or so. Hillary would be far better off without him!

Okay, this is ridicules! Bill Clinton is shooting his own wife in the foot. Can he realize this has nothing to do with him???? I can't wait to see what comes out of his mouth tomorrow. The respect I had for him is so gone. And I received one of those Presidential recognition awards when I was in high school from Bill Clinton. Something I was proud of…and now???

Have to agree with demos. Lehrer ran circles around you all last night.

Ex-President and Backstabber.

um…didn't billy boy say that politics is a contact sport and that if you can't handle it, you should get out? so i guess he meant that only if the candidate he wants to win wins. and for everyone saying "oh, hillary should be the nominee." what about the poll that show 49% of the country never wants to see her as president? she would be behind right now while obama is ahead.

I've been a Hillary Clinton supporter right along. I've always said that if Obama wins the nomination instead of Hillary, I'll support him, because his views on the issues are virtually the same as hers. But when he failed to choose Hillary as his running mate, I've felt like my support has diminished. Half of Democrats voted for Hillary, yet their preference has been cast aside. I thought this election was about what the voters wanted.

Bill, Hillary, their surrogates and ego driven circus are doing nothing to enhance their legacy. Quite the contrary. Hillary has to do a helluva job in her speech tonight to convince those of us who are sceptical about her "support" of Obama.

Stop this nonsense idiot, why are you doing this? I swear to god the biggest national security threat this country is facing right is the main stream media. Please go away and come back after the election, let people think for themselves instead of planting your divisive seeds

Suppose you have two candidates. Candidate X won his primary and has been nothing but gracious to accommodate the loser while Candidate Y is a snake whose sense of entitlement is greater than that of all of the Celebutards put together and whose husband too busy sticking cigars into interns to worry about Osama. Which candidate has already won? This has nothing to do with what's going on now.

It is very sad how SMALL MINDED Bill Clinton is …… Hillary would have won, if it wasn't for Bill. Hillary will unite the democrats behind Obama, Bill will NOT. This is WHY we need CHANGE in this country.

Oh my God, I think Bill as gone over the edge.
He is so diminished in stature.
Quite frankly, I believe he sunk his wife's campaign with his comments.
What a legacy, an ego so big he can't let go.
He has become a little bit of nothing wittled down to a very fine point.

What is happening to our FREEDOM OF SPEECH?????

Bill is out of control. A bull in a china shop. He will sink his own ship….keep digging Bill. You're digging a hole big enough for you and Hillary.

That's Bill alright… one giant stain.

One giant stain on the democratic convention, one giant stain on his legacy, one giant stain on Monica's blue dress.

I'm done with that lot. And to think, like a fool I used to defend the Clintons. I am ashamed at how stupid I was to think those two were anything more than a cancer upon our democracy.

Country over party

Hillary Clinton 2012 & 2016

Chelsea Clinton 2020 & 2024

No Obama!

This man is REALLY starting to get under my skin!
He needs to step in line or back off completely.

I voted for clinton both times he ran. before and after his sex scandals. Im sorry hil didnt get the nomination, bill so lets be a good sport and move on. get over yourself. i know you dont want him to win. you can afford to have four more years of bush/mcbush policies. but the people you are hurting by acting like a sore loser cant. so stop thinking about yourself and get on board and get OBAMA elected.

How is this a dig against Obama? CNN please get it together!

Bill Clinton – put your money where your mouth is – pay your wife's debt's will ya?

I will be voting for Candidate Y.

I think if people actually think Chelsea Clinton should run for President, then we are in deeper trouble than I suspected. We're not a medieval kingdom. We're not the Clintons' serfs. The country should be bigger than one family.

That's Bill alright… one giant stain.

One giant stain on the democratic convention, one giant stain on his legacy, one giant stain on Monica's blue dress.

I'm done with that lot. And to think, like a fool I used to defend the Clintons. I am ashamed at how stupid I was to think those two were anything more than a cancer upon our democracy.

WOW!! I can't believe he said that! And it's obvious that "candidate X" is Obama. So much for "unity"!!!!

You PUMAs need to realize that what goes around comes around – you want to destroy's Obama's chances for this election so that Hillary can run in 2012? I hope you realize that she will then need Obama's supporters on board as well – and what are Obama supporters going to do? We're gonna remember exactaly what you are doing now – Hillary will never be nominated because for how you are all acting towards Obama. You are trying to help and support Clinton but all you are doing is destroying any chances she will have to run for president again.

OBAMA/BIDEN 08 & 12

I have a feeling the Bill Clinton will not be campaigning for Obama after the convention. Just a hunch…

Note to all Hillary supporters who are still upset that she wasn't the VP nominee: Now you know why.

By the way, in Bill's scenario, who is who? Is Obama X and Hillary Y? McCain X and Obama Y? It really makes no sense.

However, given the hypothetical, I side with Candidate X. As with doctors, so with politicians: First, do no harm.

Poor Billy, it's no longer about him. Every time he opens his mouth his legacy dies. He'll be remembered for being impeached, disbarred, whitewatered and for one cigar too many.

How many times a month do you talk about any McCain negatives?

His wife is a thief and we haven't hear this from your forum.

as if Stealing from poor children for addiction isn't bad enough, Ms. Mcain stole from her own charity. As if cheating on his wife wasn't enough, McCain abandoned a wife who has been waiting for him, asking friends to pay for her medical bills while he had a good time with other women.

McCain abandonned her to marry beer heiress and to fuel his political career. Is that the experience we need in washington?

Slick old gasbag Willy is the reason his wife isn't on the ticket – their blind ambition is disgusting.

cnn is making this up to increase the stakes and get more ads money. It's all about money cnn when you raise all these questions that have nothing to do with reality.

If it's not "white blue collar, it's pumas or clinton. someone is always having some grievance and you play the drum beat to bear threads.

OBAMA/BIDEN 80 & 12

Since Bill didn't really do Hillary any good on the trail, maybe he'd be better off staying at home. He sounds a little confused anyway. I'm very anxious to see if Hillary will be enthusiastic about Obama tonight. If she isn't, I'm pretty much done with the Clintons.

I guess the Obama suppoters and the media are ticked off because they cannot control you. Ahhhh toooo bad. Well, I wish Hillary would tell all of them where to get off. She is not in the running yet Obama wants her to to stump for him. I say do it only if you want to. Obama needs to let everyone know just who he is and how he is going to handle the Country WITHOUT HILLARY – GET IT. SHE IS NOT THE NOMINEE OBAMA – YOU ARE. THAT GOES FOR YOUR SUPPORTERS ALSO – GET OFF HER BACK – SHE DOES NOT NEED TO SUPPORT HIM IN ANY BIG WAY. SHE IS DOING MORE THAN SHE BE EXPECTED TO DO.

YOU HAVE TO WIN ON YOUR OWN OBAMA

Bill and Hillary does not want Obama to win this election; because they have plans for Hillary to run in 2012, I think that shows their own political ambitions, they don't care about the Democratic Party, It seems to me they feel asthough thier above the Democratic Party and the Democratic Party needs them, they don't need the Democratic Party. These people true colors are showing. To think at one time, i thought about voting for you.

Has Bill been diagnosed with any specific medical condition?

GOOD. THERE IS NO WAY I WOULD SUPPORT OBOMA AFTER ALL THE DIRTY TRICKS… RACE CARD AND EVERYTHING OBOMA SAID AND DID TO THE CLINTONS…
YOU GO BILL….. YOU DO NOT NEED OBOMA HE NEEDS YOU…..
HIS WIFE HATES HILL SO SHE THREW OBOMA UNDER THE BUS…..
JOE, HE MAY HAVE GOT 5000 VOTES…..
I KNOW I WILL VOTE MCCAIN .AND REP. FOR THE FRIST TIME IN MY LIFE……
HILL 18,000,000. VOTES HOW STUPID IS THIS….
I HOPE HILLS VOTERS ALL VOTE MCCAIN JUST TO SHOW OBOMA WHAT A FOOL HE IS FOR LISTENING TO HIS WIFE WHO LOVES HIM SO…… STUPID….. LOOK AT ALL THE BAGGAGE JOE CARRIES ?????

Wait… Huh? So who's X and who's Y? I'm confused… I think I'll just vote for canidate O…

OBAMA really, really need to diss the Clintons. they are bugging the hell ouf of me the fact that Obama is bending over backwards for them.

I'm convinced the Clintons are trying to sabotage Obama's campaign. I used to be a huge fan of Bill Clinton but in the last 6 months, he has shown America his true colors. Sad, truly sad.

This is supposed to be a dig?? Sounds more like algebra. Seriously, who knows what the heck he was talking about? This would be a lot more informative if we knew what question he was answering or what topic he was discussing…

Mijnos it is sad to see people like you worshiping the clintons.

The election is Obamas to win or lose. Why will it be up to the Clintons? The Kennedys got him the nomination let them deliver the election. Why should I vote for Obama? The Obama-bots who insist we vote for Obama or our girl is toast? Aren't you the same ones who preach Obama and Hillarys ideas are the same? How could we not vote for him and in the same context say you won't vote for her? Oxymorons…

Big feelings Bill….what a friggin loser…no wonder Billary lost

Now PUMA try to blame Obama for Billary losing….not in your life

He's screwing it for Billary's future…..the power hungry people

so self centered…….their legacy will be that…..LOSERS.

It's sounding like Bill needs another night out with Monica.

Mr. President:

Suppose that I am a voter Z, and between the Candidates X and Y, I like them both. But one of the candidate's spouse (let's call him W), keeps telling me, the voter Z, that candidate Y is better than X, and X is not going to do what he is promising. Should I listen to person W, or vote for the person with whom I agree most of the time?

While we are at it, let's suppose another hypothetical situation. Suppose that because of the under-handed campaign of Candidate Y, and person W, another candidate, let's call him M, defeats X. Then me, the voter Z, is completely screwed! Do you have any suggestion for that?

By the way, this has nothing to do with what's going on now.

give it up CNN, Hillary's not getting elected, now or 2012.

I am sick of Bill and Hillary's B.S! I am totally sick of them. I voted for Bill both times he ran and I supported Hillary up until Obama announced his candidacy and I am just sick and tired of their silliness. Will somebody tell them to grow up. I heard Rep. Cummings from Maryland on the radio this morning and he said that Senator Obama told him that this race is not about him. That it's about the people. Bill & Hillary need to know that this race is not about them. It's about the people. If he keeps this (I'm not going to say what I really want to say) foolishness up, I will never, ever, in my life vote for Hillary whenever she gets the chance to run for president again. The sad thing is that I think she would do pretty well, but right now, we have someone else who was elected BY THE DEMOCRATIC VOTERS to represent them. I am growing to truly dislike the Clintons and it is just a shame for a president who had such a great legacy, except in one particular area.

Signed,

A "Get-Over-It" Democrat!

Can somebody please control Bill Clinton's mouth???

I'm sure he didn't mean anything by it, but jeez Bill, what the hell were you thinking?!

This is no dig, it's just Clinton doing what he does best…talk! Really CNN don't create the news report it fairly!

Obama 2008 & 2012 Clinton 2016 & 2020

I just 'have' to believe that Bill Clinton will do the right thing for the party. I 'have' to believe it. I have defended him and the persecution he received in office for too long.

I will reserve judgement until i hear his speech, and see his 'actions' on the campaign trail.

Biff Biffington

With all due respect, Franklin? BC's comments were NOT something out of nothing. BC is totally self centered and certifiable at this point. Obama must have the patience of Job.

i ask you if you are a true Obama supporter or a true Clinton supporter please do not engage in the back and forth on this site…the Repubs have blogger's they pay to cause distention with in the Democratic party…so those Hill people being attacked, it is by a paid repub and fro those Obama supporters the same thing…the repubs are about keeping the status quot, they have the money and resources to try to divide us…dont let them, remember united we stand

If the country is very lucky Bill will do as good of a job for Nobama as he did for Hillary. LOL!

Bill Clinton is the only winner the Dems have nominated in 30 years.

30 YEARS!

You morons should listen to him.

He's a Obama wannabe. Can't wait to see the faces of you bigots at MCKlan New Network once Obama wins.

Change 08

welcome aboard Bill…

I think CNN is scared of Obama raising their taxes so they are supporting McCain rather then reporting the news.

What is with running all of McCains baseless attack adds for free 24/7??????????????????

He is trying to destroy any chance that Hillary can have at this. He really is trying to sabotage her.

truth hurts

Bill just hasn't been the same since he was forced to give up skirt-chasing. The one thing that will never change, is its all about him getting what he wants.

Dream on.

Yeah CNN is making something out of nothing….I believe the man when he say's "and this has NOTHING to do with whats GOING ON NOW"

I don't even know what that means?

If CNN can't find something more interesting and useful to report, why don't they just save us all the aggravation?

Example A why candidate HC lost. X candidate BC should keep his mouth shut.

Bill Clinton is a bitter sore loser cirmudgeon. I hope Hillary finally divorces you, although that may be what you want.

Newsmedia –

PLEASE stop creating and perpetuating this storyline. You are responsible for the ongoing drama.

You can tell there is no unity… no matter what Obama says…

The Clinton people are leaving after her speech… they aren't staying to hear Obama's dribble… rightly so.

Clinton 2012… a vote for Obama is a wasted vote…

What is he saying? Does this make sense? He use to be so articulate.
If it has nothing to do with whats going on now then why say it?

I don't think the Clintons are nice people at all. Why do they think that they have to be at the center of everything? If Bill feels that bad about his role, he should come clean and stop making all these silly comments.

Here's mouth, insert foot

Bill—you and Hillary are not doing a very good job of supporting Obama–
it's evident you don't like him at all and are only doing the absolute minimum to help—I support your strategy–

CNN – The Official McCain Talking Points Station.

How much money was CNN allowed to donate to the McCain campaign?

They really need to shut him up.

Problem is Ted Kennedy is the only one that can really do it, and he's already done it once. Anymore and it will just look like a Clinton-Kennedy fued. The Democrats just haven't had any other strong national leader in the last 25 years.

Well, after last nights press coverage of the Dem Convention, I have come to realize one thing:

CNN does NOT have the best political team on television….

We switched over to PBS and were extremely pleased with Jim Lehrer and his analysis team–they were fair and balanced, not unnecessarily hung up on the search for controversy, avoided the whole stringing out of the Clinton followers that CNN is obsessed with, and put several lesser speeches like those of Barack's sister and Jesse Jackson Jr. in proper important perspective–while Carville and the pundits wanted only to downplay them and call the night "wasted."

Incidentally, did anyone see the brisk comment of Caroline Kennedy to Wolf Blitzer's rude prodding about the process of selecting a VP choice?

"No, I am not going to walk you through it. It was a confidential process."

Sheepish Wolf promptly shut up:)

Who agrees with M cain on what issues? and which issues will he deliver on?

Also Obama mad a mistake giving this man a Mike…. he sank Hillary's Campaign and his ego will sink Obama's if they dont stop him

I've lost all the respect I ever had for the Clintons — and I had a lot of respect for both of them until this campaign began. It's sad to see the continued diminishment of his legacy, and the stain that's been placed on hers.

I would like to have voted for Hillary — but I couldn't.

Hillary Clinton 2012 & 2016
Chelsea Clinton 2020 & 2024

Here goes CNN making something out of nothing.

You do realize OBAMA is the nominee and not a Clinton, don't you? Sheesh.

Somebody needs to send Bill off on a long and far away vacation. I think he has totally lost it & We just don't need to hear anything from him if it's not nice.
