Wow, what is new!?. I expected for Mr. Clinton not to be present for this historic day. It is time that we as Dem, Rep, and Ind to UNITE and put our differences aside. This is NOT about the Clintons this is about OUR FUTURE. We must realize voting for Mr. Mc will be voting for the past and not for the future.

- MA for Obama

To Leslie. If Barack loses it will be because more people have seen just what he is. Don't blame it on anyone but him. What a poor loser. If you don't win, don't blame someone else. Grow up.

I'm not a democrat or republican. I vote for people, not parties. This hasn't always helped me, but why would any of us do anything else? Take Bill Clinton, a former President, shunning the man to carry the next Democratic torch to the White House, and why? because both clinton(s) and O'mama couldn't resolve their dispute before the damage was done. They don't care what happens to their party as a whole, until it is too late, because they are in it to win it, to quote the dumbest cheerleading phrase I've ever heard. So, why should we care what happens to the party?

It will be a long time before Bill Clinton 'let's go' of the Obama candidacy. If Obama wins the White House, Bill Clinton will be angry, and if Obama loses the election, Bill will blame Obama and the whole DNC apparatus. Too bad: Bill had different plans for his retirement years.

I've voted for Democratic candidates my whole life and have donated money to several of them, and I wouldn't want to go either.

The only thing I've heard in these two nights that rings true is that we need real leadership at this time in our country's history.

The leadership of the Democratic Party has failed us all.

I predict that Hillary will not run for her next senatorial election.
I don't speak for black people, but I can't see Hillary getting more
than 42 % of her usual black turn out on election day. If Guiliani runs against her, he will beat her. She through away the Clinton brand name. The Clinton' shouldn't listen to her black advisors.......They
are blowing smoke up their ashtrays....

Guess what, I WON'T BE THERE EITHER. Who cares what he has to say, his just another flip flopper. He now stands for everything Hillary introduced into her campaign. I hope someone good wrote his speech, because Obama and his wife can only read the words and ideas they can't think for themselves.

If Barack loses, its because he can't close the deal. If you want the Clinton's to win the election, make Hillary the nominee. Can Barack do anything himself? Or does he need the Clinton's to handle all the hard work?

Voter,
You are kidding right? You are just trolling, I hope. I don't want to think someone in my country's electorate is not that ignorant or naive. It is the exact opposite....it has been more about the Clintons and the McCain campaign portraying Obama as a celebrity than anything else.
Jeez.

Please fellow democrats....
it's important to stop the attacks. among each other..

let's focus on John McCain...

he's the real issue...

gas prices
iraq war
abortion
same sex marriages
energy
education

remember: OBAMA & CLINTON are more alike than McCain...he's the real issue!

You id be the first to admired Bill Clinton for many years; barring his Monica mess the country did well under his leadership..

....but this ? what on earth do Clintons think they are entitled to. Very selfish of him to not attend. Rather than galvanize their party, they seem hell bent on its destruction.

From the northern side of your border, oh Id hate to see a McCain win – but at the rate its going, it sure seems the dems are going to self destruct.

WOW,

It is absulutely incredible to me that a former president, someone who likes to think of himself as a president of the people. Someone that loves to share a connection with blacks and other monirities, I say to you Mr. Bill Clinton. Do you think black americans will forget ? do you think we cannot see through the smoke screen ?

I want you to know that although I love Obama, I would have gladly voted for Hillary had she won.

Weather Obama wins this election or not, we will not "FORGET" I have always tried to give you the benefit of the doubt.

Obama needs to grow up. If you want respect then you have to give a little and not just when you want something. Why should Bill show up? It's been made clear that no matter what he does for Obama, he will be treated with disrepect bordering on hostility.

The only reason I will vote for Obama is because I have a soul and that alone keeps me from unleshing another republican on the world. We'll be lucky if we survive the last days of Bush.

Way to go Bill, You can't let those stereo wires stay tangled up for ever! While your at it air up your tires. It's high time that you did and said just what you want to do to protect your family, If he's not your choice, why add insult to injury. Your doing the right thing.

Bill has single-handedly defined his legacy in a matter of 12 months. If Obama loses this election, I guarantee you Obama supporters will pull the same stunt Clinton supporters are pulling right now. You are a disgrace to America PUMA!
