No Traction

People of color have been waiting for this opportunity all thier lives. They did not want to vote until now. I wonder how many of them voted for JFK? They seem to liken Obama to JFK. I still don't feel he is ready but if this trend continues well, you may not like him but he will command respect. Just like good old GW. I am a Hillary supporter. Maybe if her name was Harry and male, she may have had a chance. My concerns is even Edwards said that Obama's healthcare is a weak solution. Our citizens are in trouble. How many of you young people are ready to take care of your parents? I see a reverse trend of elderly being disadvantage. How about the housing foreclosures? We will need to wait a little bit longer for that to turn around. As for foreign relations, well I don't know, I wouldn't be surprised if the other countries refuse to do business with America. Immigration, who knows. We know where the republicans are coming from, yet, people are willing to put all thier hopes that change will come. Unfortunately we need solutions for change to happen. He truly has no clue how to solve the issues we are facing.

People People People---can yall NOT see what is going on? Why do yall think Obama is winning? He is getting all of the anti Hillary votes. The Mass Media and Republicans wants Hillary to lose. One person who appeared on Fox News, Dick Morris, told Republicans to do their duty during the Texas elections. What do you think their duty is------to vote Obama and take out Clinton. Once he is the nominee, the Republicans will chew right into into him. His wins are superficial. Obama's impressive winning streak is as fake as some of this hair in my head.

I think he knows it. Did yall watch his victory speech in Texas last night? He wasn't cocky as usual. He wasn't even all that upbeat. He looked frazzled and worried. On the other hand, Clinton looked happy and upbeat in the midst of her 10th loss. My instinct tells me that she has something up her sleeve. Clinton will not accept defeat, atleast not from Barack Obama.

I am a Clinton supporter but she would push me to John McCain if she does something very openly underhanded to get the nomination. The anti Clintons and republicans are making it virtually impossible for her to justify winning the nomination especially with Obama having massive wins and way more votes than her.

I say the only way she can stay in the game and keep Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson from getting massive publicity and holding protest marches and crying racism and to help her image (being that most of the anti Clintons thinks the worse of her) is to simply step back from the Democratic Party, congratulate Obama and go independent . John McCain is ready to dig into Obama, his speech shows that. It is not much he can say about Clinton that the world don't already know. That is an absolute plus for her! With the Republicans beating up Obama, she won't have to get all of the negative press when she throw stones at him as well. Once they finish beating him up, with them tagteaming him, it should take about 2 months at the most, they can then focus on each other. Hillary's chances will be much better and the anti Clinton move would have fizzled down by then---first off, the Anti Clinton votes will go to McCain. And once EVERYONE (media, clinton, republicans) destroy Obama, he will lose MOST of his support and true Democrats will support Clinton over McCain.

Clinton is still VERY MUCH in this political game but she has to do it right!

LET's LOOK AT THE FACTS.
OBAMA has shown he can organize millions of people into an organized and effetive political force.
He has made the correct judgements consistently throughout his campaign.
HIS TEAM IS A REFLECTION of HIM ORGANIZED HONEST AND HARD WORKING.
CONSISTENT, GENUINE.

LET"S LOOK AT HILLARy's campaign.
A lot of fighting and divisivness.
A lot of firing's.
A lot of bad JUDGEMENTS
CONFUSION AND pANIC as a result of bad judement and wrong decisions.
THE BLAME GAME. IT's your fault not its his fault, that's it you are FIRED.
LET GO RACIAL My destiny is more important.
It is a reflection of her style. BROAD AGENDA's, BIG plans, only to have them blocked because she was unable to unite factions in order to implement her agenda. COMBINE THAT WITH SCANDAL and you are left with no HOpE and a BUSH in the OVAL OFFICE.

BEING president IS ABOUT UNITING THE COUNTRy. THIS IS WHy not just anyone can become COMMANDER N CHIEF. BEING president involves making real time decisions very frequently. OBAMA HAS proven time and time again he has a "nack" for making a calm cool correct decisions in a real time enviornment. BE HONEST LOOK AT THE CONTRAST in CAMpaigns. THE FACTS ARE THERE.

THE MEDIA NEED TO REALIZE THAT THEy are a tool of indoctrination. ANy GOOD politician can manipulae the media in their favor. OBAMA AND BILL ARE VERy good politicians.

OBAMA is not a fortune teller he cannot have plans ready until he has his complete team together. ONE step at a time. TO GO INTO TOO MUCH DETAIL is a political trap because things change. OBAMA IS A pro and will not fall into that trap.

HERE'S yOUR pROOF HALLOW. I AM VERy GLAD yOU ASKED THIS QUESTION.
THIS pROVES THAT OBAMA IS THE REAL DEAL SON.

Obama proved persuasive enough that the bill passed both houses of the legislature, the Senate by an incredible 35 to 0. Then he talked Blagojevich into signing the bill, making Illinois the first state to require such videotaping.

Obama didn't stop there. He played a major role in passing many other bills, including the state's first earned-income tax credit to help the working poor and the first ethics and campaign finance law in 25 years (a law a Post story said made Illinois "one of the best in the nation on campaign finance disclosure"). Obama's commitment to ethics continued in the U.S. Senate, where he co-authored the new lobbying reform law that, among its hard-to-sell provisions, requires lawmakers to disclose the names of lobbyists who "bundle" contributions for them.

Taken together, these accomplishments demonstrate that Obama has what Dillard, the Republican state senator, calls a "unique" ability "to deal with extremely complex issues, to reach across the aisle and to deal with diverse people." In other words, Obama's campaign claim that he can persuade us to rise above what divides us is not just rhetoric.

"We recommend that this administration work with Congress, public health officials, the pharmaceutical industry, foreign governments and international organizations to create a permanent framework for curtailing the spread of future infectious diseases.

There were death penalty abolitionists, some of whom worried that Obama's bill, by preventing the execution of innocents, would deprive them of their best argument. Vigorous opposition came from the police, too many of whom had become accustomed to using muscle to "solve" crimes. And the incoming governor, Rod Blagojevich, announced that he was against it.

THIS IS A pERFECT EXAMpLE OF WHAT OBAMA CAN DO AND HAS ALREADy DONE, BRING DIFFENT FACTIONS TOGETHER TO ACHIEVE A COMMON GOAL.

BARAK LETS HIS RECORD TALK FOR HIM. HE COULD HAVE BRAGGED ABOUT ALL THIS. BUT HE HAS STA yed CONSISTENTLy HUMBLE.

The only real problem with Obama's campaign right now is that he fails to put smart / well-informed people on TV who can highlight his REAL ACCOMPLISHMENTS AND EXPERIENCE! He has plenty, but unlike Hillary Clinton and her slick army of PR Pros, Barack Obama seems has to find great speakers to make his case for him!

HILLARY VS. OBAMA LEGISLATIVE RECORDS:
During Obama's first (8) eight years of elected service (in Illinois) he sponsored over 820 bills - 233 regarding healthcare reform, 125 on poverty and public assistance, 112 crime fighting bills, 97 economic bills, 60 human rights and anti-discrimination bills, 21 ethics reform bills, 15 gun control, 6 veterans affairs and many others. IN ADDITION, DURING HIS FIRST YEAR IN THE U.S. SENATE, HE AUTHORED 152 BILLS AND CO-SPONSORED ANOTHER 427. THESE INCLUDED:

*The Coburn-Obama Government Transparency Act of 2006 (became law)
*The Lugar-Obama Nuclear Non-proliferation and Conventional Weapons Threat Reduction Act, (became law)
*The Comprehensive Immigration Reform Act, passed the Senate
*The 2007 Government Ethics Bill, (became law)
*The Protection Against Excessive Executive Compensation Bill, (In committee)

IIn all, since he entered the US Senate, Obama has written 890 bills and co-sponsored another 1,096. AN IMPRESSIVE RECORD, FOR SOMEONE WHO SUPPOSEDLY "HAS NO RECORD"

HILLARY CLINTON, WHO HAS SERVED FOR 6 YEARS IN THE U.S. SENATE, AND CLAIMS TO KNOW HOW TO "GET THINGS DONE" HAS MANAGED TO AUTHOR AND PASS NTO LAW ONLY TWENTY (20) PIECES OF LEGISLATION, ONLY FIVE (5) OF WHICH HAVE ANY REAL SUBSTANCE:
1. Extend period of unemployment assistance to victims of 9/11.
2. Pay for city projects in response to 9/11
3. Assist landmine victims in other countries.
4. Assist family caregivers in accessing affordable respite care.
5. Designate part of the National Forest System in Puerto Rico as protected in the wilderness preservation system.

I truly don't believe in Obama's leadership abilites currently, however, at this rate he may be the next commander in chief. His first years in office will be the hardest because Obama will need to somehow focus on bringin this divided nation together.Then he will need to focus on the economy, Iraq war, foreign relations, universal healthcare, creating new jobs, repay all the promises he made to the special interest groups, and somehow continue to keep our nation safe from the real haters of the United States.

Oh yeah, and Barack, unlike Clinton and McCain, has not taken any money from the lobbyists! Haha; You can donate to his campaign at www.barackobama.com

All attacks against Clinton's is a weakness of Husein's mercenaries, paid by Oprah's billion of Dollars, dirty easy money from a crazy and degenerated press and media TV. I hope the people from Ohio, Texas and Penn will address the situation and will realize which is the pure truth . I am sure they will change the election trend, which now is driving America on the wrong and catastrophic way for this nation!! Because it is not about the race and gender intoxicated propaganda ?! It's just about the character and integrity ! I hope the Americans will bring down the hypocrisy and incompetence !!

GTX13. We see that you're one Clinton's non-english speaking Hispanic contingent. What makes you feel as though you know what's better for this country than people who've lived here their whole life? I'm not racist in any way shape or form and feel as though this is a very valid question that begs to be asked. Please, humor me.

McCain is already been caught have an extra marital affair. What else is knew. THERE IS NO WAy McCAIN can beat OBAMA

Apparently they do. Mrs. O was truly unlady -like and Un FirstLady-llke when she said" If you can't run your own house how do you expect to run the White House". and how about Mrs O saying they still had college loans to pay, yet they bought that expensive house with the help of the crook. Well if you can't payoff your loans and manage your money better then perhaps you can't manage the US budget. Get the drift. The Clintons have done more for Afro Americans than the Obamas so why the cheap shots about Bill all the time. To not vote for Hillary because of the cheap shots by mean Obama supporters is sad. And how about the cheap shots against Chelsey who doesn't have a bad intention in her body. The Obama's should be so lucky to have their kids turn out a tenth as good would be great. The way Mrs. O talks about their daughters you'd think they were the only children on the earth.

Well, lets face it, he is endorsed by OPRAH after all! Devout OPRAH fans probably think she'll even be his running mate. Bet my next paycheck if she had endorsed Hillary things would be different.

God help us all if Obama beats Clinton. I would hate to see the republicans win this election. All I hear is that Obama stands for change. Big deal. How do I know that it is the type of changes I want to see? At least I know what Clinton stands for! I have been around long enough to know that everyone promises that one. I don't trust him. I read last week where he was courting the black vote in private and the white voters publically. What is that? His dishonsesty will most certainly come back to bite him hard if he gets the chance to run against the republicans! Also, he just doesn't have the experience and the republicans will use that against him. Ideally- they would run together- her experience and his ability to spin, but I don't see that ever happening.

I think that the real question is, do we really want someone to lead this country that has been in Washington for so many years? I don't see change in Hilary Clinton. In my eyes, she's sneaky and I don't trust her.
At one of the debates I think before super Tuesday, the candidates were asked what their biggest weaknesses were.
Barack answered, well, my desk is always very unorganized and I have a hard time keeping everything filed right. I think that this is a legitimate weakness that someone has. I know that I'm that way.
However, Edwards answered, my biggest weakness is the overwhelming concern for the poor. Come on, that sounds so fake.
And then Clintion responded, well I just don't have the patience to wait to be able to help this country.
Barack is the only one that I think has a genuine American character.
Also, in a time of chrisis or scandal, I can easily see him coming on tv and looking directly into the camera and stating the truth.
