    Unfortunalety for all of us the american people the mediatake his job very trivial, for them the rating is more importante that the future of our country, it has failed to inform the Amerian people how well prepared are the CANDIDETES to perform the job, no any job but the job that will conserve our country as the best in the world in all means, ECONOMICALY, MILITARILY ETC ETC..... After the big experience with George W. Bush, the media seems not to learn anything about how to help the country in the right direction, just got blind and went with the hysteria of the crowd and thinking "rating, rating, rating" REMEMBER TRY TO REMEMBER, George W. Bush when he was compaigning for president HE CAME WITH THE BRILIANT IDEA HE HAS SPOKEN WITH GOD , and the crowds got hysteric, as well as the media. Who was worse the media or the crowds? No one used the brains, no one made the necessary questions to KNOW THE CANTIDATE,, WELL or how well prepared he was for the job. Due to the failures of George W. Bush, our country is at the door of an economical bankruptcy, in which all of us will be involved" "NO EXCEPTIONS"" Who ever reads this, piece, think about,you, your family, your friends, your business etc etc." all of us will be part of the bankruptcy.and will suffered it. Thanks to George W. Bush,'s poor skills for the job, we have plenty of more enemies than in 2001 and we attacked the wrong country,. He gave us a big bag of lies, no body questioned him. Apparently no body in the media world knew anything about Iraq. What a shame Anything George W.Bush, said, the media passed it to us. The media should waek up and inform the American people now during the process of electing the new president the REAL HISTORY/RECORD OF PERFORMANCE,OR LACK OF HISTORY/RECORD OR PERFORMANCE OF EACH CANDIDATE. hysteria just for the rating is no good.
    REMEMBER: When the father of George W. Bush , ended his term, he left the country in bankruptcy, Many many corporations were under the protection of chapter 11 of the bankruptcy law. amongh them Merry Lynch, Macys, Bloomindale, Lord and Taylor etc. etc. Two thirds of the american people were paying the mortgage late..Millions were unemployed. WHO RESCUED THE COUNTRY OUT OF THIS CONDITIONS.
    BILL CLINTON. and when he finish his term the country had a surpluss. When you participate in a process as big as the rescue of the country (with your family or coworkers, you learn a lot The media donot mention this facts now because probable they do not bring any rating.to them.
    Hopefully we will get the right person to take all of us out of the fiasco in which we are DUE TO GEORGE W. BUSH'S POOR SKILLS FOR THE JOB AND THE HYSTERIA OF THE MEDIA..

    IT is TIME TO SEND A MESSAGE AND DELIVER THE KNOCK OUT BLOW.
    TAKING YOUR GLOVES OFF EARLY IS NOT ALWAYS THE WISEST DECISION TO MAKE. SOME MIGHT EVEN CALL IT NAIVE.

    ONE OF THE MAIN POINTS OBAMA MADE IN LAST NIGHTS SPEECH WAS THAT THE CHALLENGE of implementing change is JUST BEGINNING> THAT CHANGE IS NOT EASY. AND WILL TAKE A UNITED EFFORT from all not just a few.

    CAN HILLARY MAKE HER LAST STAND IN TEXAS AND OHIO A SUCCESSFUL ONE.

    "OR WILL THIS OBAMA WAVE , POWERED BY A THUNDEROUS MOVEMENT FOR CHANGE, SWALLOW HILLARY AND HER ARMY OF LATINOS" eddiewhere 2008.

    OBAMA GAVE A TREMENDOUS SPEECH IN TEXAS LAST NIGHT.
    THE HIGHLIGHT OF THE SPEECH WAS WHEN OBAMA MENTIONED THAT SOME LEADERS SAY THAT I CANNOT ENGAGE OUR ENEMIES IN DISCUSSION. TO THEM I SAY YES I CAN.
    YES WE CAN. YES WE CAN.

      Indeed ! He did it a "tremendous" populist and demagogic speech !! And nobody believes in that speech...even himself, Mr. Obama ! It impossible to cover such wide spectrum of nation's problems ! Until now you show something what is not
      useful for the Democrat Party. You did it according with your thinking level !! It's OK! Freedom of speech and opinion for all of us ! But now is our turn; for people of Texas, Ohio and Pen !...All times we to consider is much wiser and more credibility for bigger states in comparison with Lilliput states ! And nobody from
      other states is not welcomed to
      put any kind of pressure on our conscience. Let' make our mind ! You have to go in China or Cuba for
      such of populist and communist propaganda !
      Concluding, keep in your mind one thing; If I have to vote between Obama and McCain, I'll vote for McCain,
      a great American Hero and over 20 years as senator. He is much better choice and he is not just
      a "chicken" in the politics.!! And believe me; It will be a huge turn out of Dem's for Republicans !!!

    EVERY STATISTIC AND POLL HAVE Unanimously INDICATE THAT OBAMA WILL DEFEAT McCAIN IN A NATIONAL ELECTION. THIS IS THE REASON OBAMA WILL BE THE DEMOCRATIC NOMINEE.

    McCain WILL BE DEFEATED IN A LAND SLIDE BY OBAMA in A NATIONAL ELECTION. McCain is not he best candidate to bring economic change. THE BUSH ECONOMIC AGENDA WILL BE CONTINUED UNDER McCAIN.
    THE ECONOMY AND THE WAR are AGAINST McCAIN. HIS ONLY SOLUTION IS TO MAINTAIN THE STATUS QUO"FOR A HUNDRED YEARS". WHO IS GOING TO PAY FOR THIS. NOT ME, PERHAPS HOLY ROLLER CAN FUND THIS HUNDRED YEAR AGENDA McCAIN HAS READY FOR ALL TAX PAYING AMERICANS.

    HE WANTS TO KEEP THE BUSH TAX CUT'S INTACT. AS KARL ROVE MENTIONED IN HIS MOST RECENT ARTICLE IN NEWS WEEK, the REGAN ERA IS OVER. SUPPLY SIDE ECONOMICS IS NOT THE ANSWER.

    THE MIDDLE CLASS WILL HAVE TO SUFFER UNDER McCAIN.
    HE BELIEVES THIS AMERICAN SUFFERING IS NECESSARY IN ORDER TO CARRY OUT A MISGUIDED FOREIGN POLICY WHICH IS BASED ON FEAR AND NOT REALITY. IN FACT McCAIN'S AGENDA IS BADLY OUTDATED AND VERY UNPOPULAR AMONG MANY CONSERVATIVES IN HIS OWN PARTY, manY oF WHOM WILL VOTE FOR OBAMA OR STAY HOME IN NOVEMBER.

    REMEMBER THE PROBLEMS IN IRAQ AND PALESTINE AND THE REST OF THAT REGION ARE
    POLITICAL in NATURE. McCAIN is a great MILITARY MAN. BUT HIS EXPERTISE WAS NEEDED in TWO THOUSAND TWO, not now. WE NEED CHANGE. AND OBAMA WILL BE ABLE TO UNITE FACTIONS IN ORDER TO BRING STABILITY TO THAT REGION.

    I AM LOOKING FORWARD TO OBAMA APPOINTING McCAIN TO BE THE NEXT HEAD OF HOMELAND SECURTIY.

    McCAIN's VIABILITY TO BECOME PRESIDENT EXPIRED FOUR YEARS AGO.

    I was a Clinton supporter and would've done anything and everything possible to make sure that the "Women's Century" as I saw it became a reality, just as I was routing for Segolene Royal in France. Then from nowhere Obama entered the race. When I heard the man speak for the first time, I heard of all I had yearned for all my life. I heard someone for the frist time speak to me, for me and about me. He spoke in a new and fresh political language, of realities I can relate to, of hope that is captivating of the endless possibiliteis of tomorrow. He got my attention and made me for the FIRST TIME want to become part of the political process. In a word, he got my ATTENTION. The more I listened to him, the less appealing became. Hillary has her qualities quite allright, but they fade into insignificance in comparison to Obama's and his message. However, I have also been listening to Mrs Clinton. The more I listen to her, the more I see that her rhetorics and strategies belong to the past. We are in 21st century and cannot go back to the 19th, not even to the 20th century. No we can't!

      I agree with you; we should not backpedal into the 20th century. Instead, we should embrace the bravery of those who fought for the rights of women and of Black America in the 1950's and forward. Unfortunately, this appears to not be the case. If we are to move forward, than why has Obama's campaign made race an issue, while Clinton was railed against for speaking as a woman at a women's college? The issue of race has been a repeated theme during the Obama campaign, and has been directly illustrated in many of Obama's speeches when he adopted similar, and sometimes identical, speech runners as those brave souls before him such as MLK. How sad that he has no inspiring message of his own from which to draw on to elicit support, and how pathetic that when his inexperience is exposed, he falls back on race. Additionally, has anyone heard either Democratic candidate mention other minority groups, such as Asians, Irish Americans, Persons with Disabilities? I have not, and that is the saddest aspect of them all. Have we not progressed past the 1960's civil rights era into current and present issues? Or is Obama too inexperienced to recognized and address these issues as topics of equal importance?

    Hey GTX13,
    The character and integrity you crave for your hero Clinton is soiled on Monica's blue dress. That's the pure truth.

    Picture this: Obama, Commander-in-Chief (I can't)

    • Posted By: PACGIRL @ 02/20/2008 5:28:08 PM

      Why can't you picture Obama as Commander In Chief? Is it because you have know vision, perhaps no imagination? Maybe you can only see in BLACK OR WHITE?
      Did you picture GW Bush as president with his high approvement ratings? What's wrong with your sense of site? It's a new day open your eyes and PICTURE IT!! We can't get much worse now can we? It's a new day.

    Hey GTX13,
    Your comments are much ado about nothing. Make your point already, why don't you run for president so we can hear your scintillating speeches. I'm sure they would be as interesting as your comments.

  • Posted By: GTX13 @ 02/20/2008 5:16:27 PM

    What we see into Obama's speech, is just ...much ado about nothing ! But the loudest hummer is not the best bee !!!

  • Posted By: PACGIRL @ 02/20/2008 5:14:25 PM

    Reading many of the posts below regarding Obama's race, and I just don't get it.. Here we have a black man, bi-racial if you will, black father & white mother. He was raised by his white mother & family who raised him with love and hope. Senator Obama did not brought his race into this polilitical debate, others did. Having said that I must ask why are you all so troubled by the color of his skin? I didn't want to belive it but I suppose it's true. Racism is a bit alive & well in America.!

    OBAMA IS ENJOYING A FREE RIDE FROM THE ENTIRE US PRESS AND THE REPUBLICANS BECAUSE THEY VERY WELL KNOW THAT IF SEN. CLINTON IS THE NOMINEE , SHE WILL WIN THE PRESIDENCY. FOR THIS REASON THEY ARE PUSHING SEN.OBAMA ( WITH NO EXPERIENCE ) TO WIN THE DEM. NOMINATION , SO COME JANUARY 20, SEN. MCCAIN WILL BE SWORN IN AS PRESIDENT OF THE US, THIS WILL BE GOOD BECAUSE I AM A FIRST TIME VOTER AND A REPUBLICAN.

    • Posted By: PACGIRL @ 02/20/2008 4:39:29 PM

      Well now, Congratulations First Time Republican Voter! Now GET OUT THERE & Join the US Marines. Oh and make sure you request to be on the front line of this Iraqi War. After all Sadaam is dead they're not fighting in Iraq any more. Think about who's REALLYresponsible for the bombing of the World Trade Center. You know, the man who's NOT was Iraq and is still alive.. Wrong Republican War, Wrong Place, Wrong Time. DUH!! Geez First Time Voter, how old are you? Are you old enough to remember & comprehend the lies that started the war.

  • Posted By: Snyde @ 02/20/2008 1:11:18 PM

    A vote for Hillary is a vote for politics as usual, where nothing get's done and the peoples work is at a stand still. She still uses plitics of personal destruction just like her husband did in the nineties. C'mon Hillary, why don't you read the signs being waved at Obama's rallies, they say "CHANGE" vote for "CHANGE". You just don't get it, the young people of this country are demanding it but you are still the same old Washington politician. No wonder your going down in flames.

    • Posted By: dmsk4 @ 02/20/2008 1:23:11 PM

      Change is all well and good, tell me, how exactly is Obama changing things. He keeps pushing the CHANGE TOPIC, now I just want to know how and what he is changing

      • Posted By: morningthunder @ 02/20/2008 4:27:17 PM

        Change is sending an ICBM with "from China with love" and carry Obama all the way to the whitehouse.

  • Posted By: vote4all @ 02/20/2008 4:25:01 PM

    From what I am seeing, most black people are voting for Obama. Does anything else matter to them other than he is black? Otherwise, wouldn't the statistics be a little more divided?

  • Posted By: drtman @ 02/20/2008 1:14:44 PM

    Obama is good for the Repbulicans, He has no experience, none, zippo and will have a bigger task of getting anything done in the 4 yrs if elelcted. The GOP has this election in the bag. Hillary lost out to a Hanna Montana-like wave. The Dems had the White House, but fell to a fad in ole Rack-O. I will not vote for Rack-O, the lesser of two evils is McCain. We had a unexperience president for the last 8 yrs, dont need another one.

      Dear hillary campaign worker, shame on you!

  • Posted By: Bydand @ 02/20/2008 1:16:57 PM

    Someone for the toughest job in the world? What is mrs. clinton thinking about? That she is qualified to be the President? What are her qualifictions for this position. I'm sorry for our country at this time, because I don't see anyone of the candidates as being ready to help run our country. Neither party has the best candidate that should be running. And nothing will really change no matter who gets elected. What a waste of time and money by all involved.

    • Posted By: morningthunder @ 02/20/2008 4:17:42 PM

      We will definitely see when somebody wins wouldn't we?

  • Posted By: GTX13 @ 02/20/2008 1:19:34 PM

    All attacks against Hillary is a weakness sign of Obama's Mercenary Army, paid by Oprah's billion Dollars, dirty money from a crazy and degenerated press and media TV. We hope the people from Ohio, Texas and Penn will realize the truth and will change the election nomination trend which driving America on the wrong and catastrophic way for this Nation !! Because all about this propaganda and intoxication is just ...race and gender !!

    • Posted By: ssocky @ 02/20/2008 1:27:14 PM

      OBAMA has the big $$$ money people behind him, Would the american people believe he s gonna help the middle class? He has not offer to cut down taxes on the big oil companies, right? like Hillary did offer..And the media says he and Hillary "agree" on most of the issues, OF COURSE, he copied her proposals! Please AMerica do some research on this man, DO NOT BELIEVE ON BEAUTIFUL WORDS OR PROMISES! , check investigate and you will see how long ago Hillary proposed the same things OBAMA is REPEATING, the copycat candidate. Im a democrat who will vot e for MCain if he is the candidate

      • Posted By: morningthunder @ 02/20/2008 4:12:55 PM

        Plenty of people would vote for Obama, I live in Ohio, and I know.
