    . I want a win in November and I want health care - Obama will deliver neither!
    I think republicans are salivating at the prospect of Obama over Clinton, but are holding their cards close to the vest. Bashing Hillary serves two purposes: weakening her and diverting attention from the issue of Barak???s lack of experience and gravitas that McCain will exploit. I laugh at republicans on TV saying they will be energized against Hillary, as if we have not seen over a year apathy and dejection over the prospect. I visualize McCain holding his breath, fearing people will catch on that Obama is his best hope of winning. But, of course now is not the optimal time to reveal just how Barak will be diminished and made to look less than presidential. McCain would love democrats to get rid of the strongest candidate! Without Clinton universal health care as an issue will be minimal, she trounces McCain on economic issues and Hillary will not be tagged as weak and naive on international affairs and terrorism.
    If health care is not mandated the legislation will fail. Republicans will argue a cost cutting alternative knowing partisan politics and compromise will gut any plan once the principle of universality is relinquished. They might just ignore the issue. Clinton is the only one who can drive it through.
    Who is going to be swayed across party lines if UHC looks DOA, Obama is challenged on the economy and McCain takes the commander in chief mantle. Sen. Clinton is ready to lead, no one can doubt that. We could have had Al Gore if competency was not under-valued, let???s not make that mistake again.

      As Ralph Nader states about the Clinton Administration and what is to come, "To justify his invasion of Iraq, Bush regularly referred in 2002-2003 to Clinton's bombing of Iraq and making "regime change" explicit U.S. policy.

      But it was Clinton's insistence on UN-backed economic sanctions in contrast to just military embargos, against Iraq, during his term in office. These sanctions on civilians, a task force of leading American physicians estimated, took half a million Iraqi children's lives." The Clinton administration is hardly the perfect administration. This happened when HILLARY CLINTON was in office. I would like to think that this is not a Fascist country where we are told its a democracy, but all the while only a few families and a few small elite circles are ruling and will continue to control the masses. Prove them wrong and vote OBAMA in for president!

        Hillary Clinton Goofs Again
        A Commentary by Dick Morris

        Who was it that defined neurosis as repeating the same mistake again and again, and expecting a better outcome each time? That???s really what the Clinton campaign is doing in its post-Chesapeake primary strategy. Now Hillary defines Obama as the candidate who makes speeches, while she is the one who provides ???answers??? and ???solutions.???

        Why is Hillary embracing this new line? It???s not that she has any great record of solutions or answers of which to boast, but rather that she wants to highlight Obama???s lack of a legislative record. Once again, she and her campaign geniuses are making the same mistake they made when they decided to use the experience as their defining difference with Obama. It???s not that she had much, but they sensed an opportunity to highlight that he had even less.
        Of course experience not only didn???t work. It backfired massively. By co-opting the experience tag, Hillary bought into the status quo and left Obama to be the agent of change. A candidacy that could have excited tens of millions of women, the first serious prospect of a female president, became merely a boring part of the status quo, shorn of its novelty.

        Hillary???s claim to be the solution-person won???t work either for the same simple reason: She hasn???t passed any...she hasn???t walked the walk so now she cannot talk the talk.

        As a first lady, Hillary???s sole important legislative involvement came during the first two years of her husband???s presidency when she sought to pass her ill-conceived health care reform, an effort that failed so miserably that it cost her party control of the House of Representatives for the first time in 40 years. Between 1995 to 1997, she was largely absent from the White House, traveling the world, promoting her best selling book and helping to raise funds. She never attended strategy meetings and her only intervention in the singular legislative achievements of Bill???s administration ??? welfare reform and the balanced budget deal ??? was privately to urge a veto of the former and to oppose the latter because it provided for a cut in the capital gains tax. Hillary returned to the White House in 1998 to oversee the defense to the Lewinsky scandal and the impeachment attempt, but the Clinton administration essentially folded its legislative efforts during those years and hung on for dear life. No portfolio of accomplishments there...

        Her only actual legislation included one bill to increase nurse recruitment, another to aid respite time for Alzheimer???s care givers and another to expand veterans??? health benefits, a paltry output for six years??? service.

        In her second term, she has spent full-time campaigning for president and has the worst attendance record of the three senators now still in the presidential race.

    Loyalty must be earned in the Latino community and Hillary has earned it and deserves it. I am a mexican/american born and raised in Los Angeles California and I could see through the BS that Mr. Obama spouts and the arrogance and ruthlessness that McCain professes. Viva Hillary! Let's vote with our minds and the minds and souls of our children and not fall for the false prophets who steal phrases like "Si se puede" "yes, we can".

    Those of us with teenagers got a hilarious reminder of the Clinton scandals of the 1990s this weekend while watching the new movie, "Definitely, Maybe."

    It takes Bill Clinton apart in a way that John McCain and the Republicans could only wish they could.

    It is a must see for all those who want to inoculate their teenagers from the impact of future "Bimbo" irruptions, fits of lying and other attractions sure to come our way with another Clinton presidency.

    It is true that Hillary Clinton is being bombarded by the media. As in "Meet The Press," they repeated only part of a sentence that was said by Hillary in hopes of making her look bad. She defended herself; and came out looking like the top candidate. Obama's speeches are all hype. His promises are all just promises. You need to look at Hillary's agenda for the future and the future of this country, they are more realistic and within reach. Hillary will take TEXAS because we support her 100%.

    I am a Hispanic professional who has voted Republician , but I am crossing party lines to vote for Obama. I am voting against the " Clintons". A vote for Hillary is a vote for both of the Clintons. Imagine Bill slithering around in the background without any accountabilty.

      Obviously you don't actually research the issues and just vote on likability. Do you realize that Republicans are supporting hicks on the borders with shot guns called "Minute Men?" Do you know that they want to build a wall and hire on government officials to go door to door and ship ALL illegals back to Mexico on buses?

      It is very sad that you (along with many other minorities in America) can not appreciate when someone has and will do everything they can to make America a better place for ALL who live here including: Latinos, African-Americans, Asains, and women, ALL groups that have previously been left out completely from the work force and a great deal because of the CLINTON'S are now given the SAME rights and an actual chance to break through that glass ceiling!!!

      As I recall Bill Clinton's very words were, "Mend it, don't end it" in support of keeping Affirmative Action in 1995.

      This is ACTUAL change made by a candidate in the past not just hoopla about hope.

    After the "big discovery" of Obama "elvisbama















    After we are now aware that Obama "Elvisbama" has been going around borrowing lines from other's speeches, and HIS "BEING PROUD FOR THE FIRST TIME OF BEING AMERICAN WIFE" , one wonders, for how long have they BOTH... been pretending being what THEY BOTH are NOT. As a Mexican American, I know that many mexicans and mexican americans DO NOT LOVE this country and are here for the conveniences, this country affords them. for those that CONTINUE COMPARING this guy to JFK... not a chance I lived when JFK was alive and Obama is not and never will be JFK. So STOP comparing him to him.
    As far as opportunist goes, well we all know why some of you are not back in Mexico. Long live America and the freedom of speech, even when we are borrowing "some lines".....

      Hillary Clinton Goofs Again
      A Commentary by Dick Morris

      Who was it that defined neurosis as repeating the same mistake again and again, and expecting a better outcome each time? That???s really what the Clinton campaign is doing in its post-Chesapeake primary strategy. Now Hillary defines Obama as the candidate who makes speeches, while she is the one who provides ???answers??? and ???solutions.???

      Why is Hillary embracing this new line? It???s not that she has any great record of solutions or answers of which to boast, but rather that she wants to highlight Obama???s lack of a legislative record. Once again, she and her campaign geniuses are making the same mistake they made when they decided to use the experience as their defining difference with Obama. It???s not that she had much, but they sensed an opportunity to highlight that he had even less.
      Of course experience not only didn???t work. It backfired massively. By co-opting the experience tag, Hillary bought into the status quo and left Obama to be the agent of change. A candidacy that could have excited tens of millions of women, the first serious prospect of a female president, became merely a boring part of the status quo, shorn of its novelty.

      Hillary???s claim to be the solution-person won???t work either for the same simple reason: She hasn???t passed any...she hasn???t walked the walk so now she cannot talk the talk.

      As a first lady, Hillary???s sole important legislative involvement came during the first two years of her husband???s presidency when she sought to pass her ill-conceived health care reform, an effort that failed so miserably that it cost her party control of the House of Representatives for the first time in 40 years. Between 1995 to 1997, she was largely absent from the White House, traveling the world, promoting her best selling book and helping to raise funds. She never attended strategy meetings and her only intervention in the singular legislative achievements of Bill???s administration ??? welfare reform and the balanced budget deal ??? was privately to urge a veto of the former and to oppose the latter because it provided for a cut in the capital gains tax. Hillary returned to the White House in 1998 to oversee the defense to the Lewinsky scandal and the impeachment attempt, but the Clinton administration essentially folded its legislative efforts during those years and hung on for dear life. No portfolio of accomplishments there...

      Her only actual legislation included one bill to increase nurse recruitment, another to aid respite time for Alzheimer???s care givers and another to expand veterans??? health benefits, a paltry output for six years??? service.

      In her second term, she has spent full-time campaigning for president and has the worst attendance record of the three senators now still in the presidential race.

      As Ralph Nader states about the Clinton Administration and what is to come, "To justify his invasion of Iraq, Bush regularly referred in 2002-2003 to Clinton's bombing of Iraq and making "regime change" explicit U.S. policy.

      But it was Clinton's insistence on UN-backed economic sanctions in contrast to just military embargos, against Iraq, during his term in office. These sanctions on civilians, a task force of leading American physicians estimated, took half a million Iraqi children's lives." The Clinton administration is hardly the perfect administration. This happened when HILLARY CLINTON was in office. I would like to think that this is not a Fascist country where we are told its a democracy, but all the while only a few families and a few small elite circles are ruling and will continue to control the masses. Prove them wrong and vote OBAMA in for president!

    Senator Hillary Clinton has worked and fought for the rights and the benefit of children, women , and minorities, for thirty years. Mr Obama can't begin to match her record or her skills, with his coy, "look down his nose" reotoric ! Don't be fooled by the Obama "come-on", this is not for entertainment, people. Vote for Hillary, THE REAL DEAL !

    Library of Congress records:Clinton, served only one full term( 6 yrs) and another year campaigning, has authored and passed 20 twenty pieces of legislation in her term of six years into law. 1 Establish Kate Mullany National Historic Site. 2 Support goals and ideals of Better Hearing and Speech Month.3 Recognize Ellis Island Medal of Honor. 4 Name courthouse after Thurgood Marshall 5 Name courthouse after James L. Watson. 6 Name post office after Jonn A. O'Shea.7 Designate Aug. 7, 2003, as National Purple Heart Recognition Day. 8 Support goals and ideals of National Purple Heart Recognition Day. 9 Honor life and legacy of Alexander Hamilton on the bicentennial of his death.10 Congratulate Syracuse Univ.

Tejeda. 14 Honor Shirley Chisholm for her service to the nation. 15 Honor John J. Downing, Brian Fahey, and Harry Ford, firefighters who lost their lives on duty. Only five of Clinton's bills are, more substantive. 16 Extend period of unemployment assistance to victims of 9/11. 17 Pay for city projects in response to 9/11 18 Assist landmine victims in other countries.19 Assist family caregivers in accessing affordable respite care.20 Designate part of the National Forest System in Puerto Rico as protected.


    Library of Congress Records??????.check it out yourself.
    Obama's list: (first 8 months) is too substantive, one is coalesced to categorize.
    sponsored over 820 bills.
    introduced 233 bills regarding healthcare reform,
    125 bills on poverty and public assistance,
    112 bills on crime fighting,
    97 economic bills,
    60 human rights and anti-discrimination bills,
    21 ethics reform bills,
    15 gun control,
    6 veterans affairs and many others.
    In his first year in the U.S. Senate, he authored 152 bills and co-sponsored another 427. These included:
    (1)the Coburn-Obama Government Transparency Act of 2006 that became LAW,
    (2)The Lugar-Obama Nuclear Non-proliferation and Conventional Weapons Threat Reduction Act that became LAW, (3)The Comprehensive Immigration Reform Act that passed the Senate,
    (4)The 2007 Government Ethics Bill that became LAW,
    (5)The Protection Against Excessive Executive Compensation Bill that is in committee just to name a few.
    In all since he entered the U.S. Senate, Senator Obama has written 890 bills and co-sponsored another 1096.

    Yes, the records do speak for themselves.........OBAMA is clearly the best choice for president of the US.

    • Posted By: beaker87 @ 02/19/2008 6:02:44 PM

      Are you sure those numbers are correct. In order to have written 890 bills, that means he would have to have written 1.2 bills every single day of the year from 2005 to 2006. Either they are pretty short bills and he didn't have to put much time or thought into them or your numbers don't seem completely accurate. If those numbers are correct, it sounds like Mr. Obama needed to create a history or record for himself and attempt to gain some experience to run as president.

Either the numbers are not accurate or the bills did not take much time or thought to write. If he actually did write 890 bills, it sounds like a man trying to create a record for himself and accumulate some experience, to maybe run for president one day. I may have to think twice about Obama, since it appears his only goal in the senate was to write a lot of frivoulous bills???

    • Posted By: merrysboys @ 02/19/2008 11:59:25 AM

      How many of the Sponsored and Cosponsored bills was passed?
      He has already shown he can write, but can he deliver too?
      Not to mention, over Legistrating. Over goverment too. Over the top on all this if it was done in only 8 months.
      I think the point was missed if you think is good.
      Hillary looks like she picked her causes and got ithem passed which takes time and effort.
      What Obama did was put a stuff up, but did he get any of it done?

  • Posted By: Lady Professor @ 02/19/2008 11:01:45 AM

    Here are a few of Barack Obama???s exceptionally worthwhile accomplishments. I will quote from John k. Wilson???s book ???Barack Obama: This Improbable quest.???: ???Although ranking at the bottom of the U.S. Senate in seniority and trying to keep a low profile in the face of his media celebrity, Obama introduced bills to reduce mercury and lead pollution, improve security at chemical plants, help develop alternative energy, protect drinking water from terrorist attacks, improve the safety of spent nuclear fuel, increase rail and transit security, improve emergency evacuation and aid procedures, help the victims of Hurricane Katrina, speed up background checks for immigrants, make employers verify the legal status of employees, aid innovative school districts and summer programs, increase the Pell grant and make higher education more affordable, guard against an Asian flu epidemic, protect genetic privacy while increasing genetic research, increase the efficiency of the health care system, provide housing for homeless veterans, improve ethics on Capital Hill by limiting the revolving door and ending lobbyist gifts, prevent voter intimidation, and create an Office of Public Integrity.??????Obama sponsored 152 bills and resolutions and cosponsored 427 bills in the 109th Congress during 2005 and 2006. Beginning with a bill to increase funding of Pell Grants to help poor students attend college, Obama proposed a wide range of progressive legislation.???

Maybe if he gets into office we can all smoke out, eat his Ben and Jerry's flavored ice cream and forget that our economy is a mess, our boys our dying in Iraq, and we have elected a guy that has no clue what he is doing because he decided to run for President after being a Senator for less than a year.

Hillary can't even manage her campaign, how could she possibly run this country? When Blacks were her mine of votes she was all for them, when they saw bill and hill for what they are, they left them like a boat with a big hole in it. So, what do they do? The get out their Sombreo's and Tamale and Taco Truck and head to the Barrio. Who's fooling who here. They use to say DUMB BLACK FOLKS. Now they will say, STUPID MEXICANS!

      Mike: if ANYONE is trying to make this a popularity contest, it's Obama. He's got the voters who are too young to know anything before Bush 43 in his pocket because he's running this LIKE a popularity contest -- it's like a boy running for class president. The problem is, this is for the office of the leader of the free world. Since he lacks experience, and in many cases, he misses the point that there is a job to DO. There's no on the job training. I'd rather send in Senator Clinton -- hardheaded, older, a bit jaded, stubborn and unlikeable though many of you Obamanazis may say, the fact is, she won' tbe pushed around by the GOP, she'll protect the supreme court, and hell yes, if she needs to raise taxes, she'll raise it on those of us in the higher tax brackets and lower it for those who really can't afford it, and she'll be fiscally responsible. The very fact that the Republicans hate her so much and love Obama so much is enough for my household to vote for her in November.

    Hill???s campaign have taunted Barack???s message of Hope and Change by calling
    it as False Hope, then tried to hijack Change as her own. I don???t hear her
    ridiculing Hope nowadays when it is her campaign that seems to be out of hope.
    Then she tried to sell herself as the vetted candidate, but when asked to
    release her Tax returns, she stops using the word Vetted and replaced it now
    with Tested. I wonder if Tested will be replaced again in light of the fact
    that her campaign???s turmoil challenged her claim to Tested, as it is more like
    wrong decisions repeated over and over. Her claim of ???35 years experience???
    proves to be the biggest Fairy Tale ever concocted as seen from how incompetent
    she handled her campaign. Her economic expertise was a fantasy bubble that got
    burst by her empty campaign war chest that needs to be replenished with a personal loan. She focused on running against W when he is not a candidate and makes herself looks like a Don Quixote fighting against a ghost. The race have become like the race of the turtle and the hare, because the hare decided to take her attention away from the race and took a nap while the turtle slips by. Isn???t this all enough proof that she is incompetent and not a smart woman at all ? How much more proof you need to prove that her intelligence is just an exaggeration from sycophants ?

    I am a Texas born and raised, and prefer Obama to Clinton any day. The area I grew up in was and still is dominated by the Mexican people.

    I know the cultural links between The Blacks and The Mexicans are not very good, as each of them always
    seem to be against the other, but I feel the Mexican people will have a much better chance with Obama than Clinton and Texas is predominately Mexican. She is a rich, spoiled snot, as Rosalinda Huerto first thought or felt (it seems) of her seemed to be.

        As Ralph Nader states about the Clinton Administration and what is to come, "To justify his invasion of Iraq, Bush regularly referred in 2002-2003 to Clinton's bombing of Iraq and making "regime change" explicit U.S. policy.

        But it was Clinton's insistence on UN-backed economic sanctions in contrast to just military embargos, against Iraq, during his term in office. These sanctions on civilians, a task force of leading American physicians estimated, took half a million Iraqi children's lives." The Clinton administration is hardly the perfect administration. This happened when HILLARY CLINTON was in office. I would like to think that this is not a Fascist country where we are told its a democracy, but all the while only a few families and a few small elite circles are ruling and will continue to control the masses. Prove them wrong and vote OBAMA in for president!

    The Clinton machine should not underestimate the Hispanics. At one time, Hillary believed she had the Blacks and the Hispanics in her pocket automatically. Well, we shall see. Perhaps she should not have fired her Hispanic manager and replaced her with a Black manager last month.

    The Latino's need to vote for Hillery and they know it. If the blackman gets in the Latino's will forever pay the price cause the blackman will push them so far down they will never see day light. Obama has done nothing. Can't find one thing he has done for the country or for the latino. he gives a great speach but nothing else. Do you really think he can stand up to Iran and the saudies? No sure he can not.

      Hillary Clinton Goofs Again
      A Commentary by Dick Morris

      Who was it that defined neurosis as repeating the same mistake again and again, and expecting a better outcome each time? That???s really what the Clinton campaign is doing in its post-Chesapeake primary strategy. Now Hillary defines Obama as the candidate who makes speeches, while she is the one who provides ???answers??? and ???solutions.???

      Why is Hillary embracing this new line? It???s not that she has any great record of solutions or answers of which to boast, but rather that she wants to highlight Obama???s lack of a legislative record. Once again, she and her campaign geniuses are making the same mistake they made when they decided to use the experience as their defining difference with Obama. It???s not that she had much, but they sensed an opportunity to highlight that he had even less.
      Of course experience not only didn???t work. It backfired massively. By co-opting the experience tag, Hillary bought into the status quo and left Obama to be the agent of change. A candidacy that could have excited tens of millions of women, the first serious prospect of a female president, became merely a boring part of the status quo, shorn of its novelty.

      Hillary???s claim to be the solution-person won???t work either for the same simple reason: She hasn???t passed any...she hasn???t walked the walk so now she cannot talk the talk.

      As a first lady, Hillary???s sole important legislative involvement came during the first two years of her husband???s presidency when she sought to pass her ill-conceived health care reform, an effort that failed so miserably that it cost her party control of the House of Representatives for the first time in 40 years. Between 1995 to 1997, she was largely absent from the White House, traveling the world, promoting her best selling book and helping to raise funds. She never attended strategy meetings and her only intervention in the singular legislative achievements of Bill???s administration ??? welfare reform and the balanced budget deal ??? was privately to urge a veto of the former and to oppose the latter because it provided for a cut in the capital gains tax. Hillary returned to the White House in 1998 to oversee the defense to the Lewinsky scandal and the impeachment attempt, but the Clinton administration essentially folded its legislative efforts during those years and hung on for dear life. No portfolio of accomplishments there...

      Her only actual legislation included one bill to increase nurse recruitment, another to aid respite time for Alzheimer???s care givers and another to expand veterans??? health benefits, a paltry output for six years??? service.

      In her second term, she has spent full-time campaigning for president and has the worst attendance record of the three senators now still in the presidential race.
