    from the many years that I observed the Clintons. They are people who tries to help others but they first help themselves. They are not bad people, they like power and money. It is okay as most people like power and money. But, she should not be the president of the United States

    IT'S AMAZING HOW YOU MEDIA PEOPLE TWIST EVERYTHING AROUND.

    I believe that Clinton is trying to help others but she would always help herself first. She is so full of herself and she plays game all the time. Not an honest person. Does not have integrity. There are people like her everywhere. She is not a bad person, but should not be the president of the United States, though

    It is SOOO obvous that NewsWeek is biased against Clinton but isn't most of the rest of the Media? I am happy that both senators had gotten into details about their plans. The more I hear the details the more I KNOW that Clinton's plan is better! And I am sure more than ever that she is way more capable and ready to be President.

    Obama is good looking, smart, charasmatic, charming and an excellent speaker let me also state that he is very accomplished!!! But I just feel that the smart vote is with Clinton and Clinton is the person who will give McCain a run for his money. The media and Republicans are scared of Clinton. That is why they enacted this Anti Clinton Movement. If Obama was the true threat, the Media would not have put him on a pedestal and gave him a free ride. They WANT Obama to win the nomination!! And why do you think this is so?

    People look beyond the surface!!

    I would like for once the news annalist would take control of our future and report fact not it could happen. This country is in such sad shape after the Bush administration that I'm not happy with a rock star of a speaker. If I want to hear a motivational speaker I'll buy a ticket. What this country needs now is a proven record of success. Please you guys stop judging her on how she makes you "FEEL" we need someone who can get the job done. Enough of this who makes a better feel good speech!

    DISPATCHES FROM THE GROUND WAR ...

    (Taxpayer Advisory No. 2)

    THE NEW YORK POST REPORTING ...

    DELI PIGOUT A CLINTON GUT BU$TER
    By GEOFF EARLE Post Correspondent

    February 22, 2008 -- AUSTIN, Texas - Hillary Rodham Clinton's free-spending campaign blew a whopping $95,000 at a low-end supermarket-deli chain last month in Iowa - a telling sign of why she can no longer cut the mustard financially against Barack Obama in critical states.

    Clinton's latest campaign filings reveal how a sprawling, top-heavy campaign organization splurged on posh hotels and pricey consultants but still struggles to define its message against Obama, a charismatic opponent whom Clinton's camp now calls the front-runner. ...

    I am an Indepentent voter and a proud member of the teamsters Local 402.I will vote Obama and this is the reason why. NAFTA a trade agreement which Bill signed and Hillary endorsed which has cost our Great nation 3.2 million jobs.Companies closing their doors and moving outside of our nation.Two, the war in Iraq.She voted for the war and now after the facts have come out she is flip-flopping.As a great leader you need to research and be right from the beginning.In the debate she looked so fake when she tried to be hospitable.People are tired of her throwing mud to try to get votes.Obama'08

    Iraq, Iraq, Iraq. This issue can not be overdone. This issue has not faded into the past. Iraq is still and should still be the pivotal issue of our time. As we continue to hemorrhage blood, treasure & political capitol around the world ... we are asked to see this mess through rose colored glasses. This war was from the beginning and still is BUNK - despite the attempts to SPIN it otherwise. ------------ On the most important matter of our time... Clinton got it -dead wrong -
    Iraq - Iraq - Iraq.
    ----------------

    Don't forget, this year???s most important issue for many is that who had the wisdom to see the aftermath of the Iraq war. On this issue alone the winner is Obama. That is why I am voting for him. So will be many millions.

    It would seem tha everyone has forgotten what the goal was. Remember; Bush has done a screwed up job and the Republican Party needs to be replaced.

    Guess what, the only thing that is happening is that McCain is being given the Election.

    People are correct, the Jig is Up, but for who?

  • Posted By: rcrfwt @ 02/22/2008 9:37:34 AM

    Everyone seems to have forgotten one important thing. Can the Democrats take the Office away from the Republican Party? It wiil matter very littke if McCain win the main elections.

    And the way things are going, OBama will win for the Democrats and we will get another 4 years of Bush ways.

    People are correct the "Jig is Up", and we are going to sit this one out.

    The lady was clearly smitten by the gentleman (he even held her chair when she sat!) and almost batted her eyelashes when expressing her honor at being on the same stage with him.

    She's smart enough to know when the jig is up - she threw in the towel

      i noticed the same thing, at times she looked like a little school girl with a small crush.

    Do not foll yourself, Clinton did not win the debate...I think that this was Obama's best performance, as he was consistent and very fluent. Although he appeared sick. he spoke with confidence, Hillary Clinton ending was packaged for that moment. But she should realise that she voted for the war in Iraq. and the consequences of it were noted. She is such a phomey.

    If the Clintonites keep sarcastically referring to Barack Obama as "the Messiah," I assume it is fair game--given all their financial scandals past, present and to come--to refer to the Clintons as "the Profits" ...

    A January 28 USA Today editorial that purported to list Democratic presidential candidate Sen. Barack Obama's (IL) "rookie mistakes on the campaign trail" concerning "international affairs" falsely claimed that Obama "provoked needless controversy in Pakistan when he said he'd invade to chase terrorists if the Pakistanis did not." In fact, Obama did not say he would "invade" Pakistan. Rather, during an August 1, 2007, foreign policy speech, he said, "If we have actionable intelligence about high-value terrorist targets and [Pakistani] President [Pervez] Musharraf won't act, we will." Obama subsequently noted that he "never called for an invasion of Pakistan."

    Moreover, in an August 7, 2007, blog entry, ABC News senior national correspondent Jake Tapper reported that he had emailed ABC News national security analyst Anthony H. Cordesman to determine whether "the media (and I) overstate[d] the case by using the term 'invade' " in their reports about Obama's statement. Tapper wrote that Cordesman "told me that Obama is correct, what he's talking about militarily would not be considered an invasion."

    It was a pleasant surprise to see Hillary Clinton step away from innuendo and negative below the belt punches and talk to the American people again instead of at them. Too often during this campaign she drank from the "Well of Willy" and fell into the rhetorical trap of negative campaigning at a point in this country where we are exhausted from eight years of the same type of "politics as usual." In the debate she showed a side of her humanity that was transcendent of the former Clinton era. Last night it looked to be the possible birth of the Democratic Dream Ticket. McCain would not stand a chance against an Obama/Clinton tag team. While I think Rodham Clinton has a heart centered on the welfare of her fellow Americans, her husband would squirm in the back seat of the Vice-President's office dreaming of the glory days; the man just didn't get it and doesn't seem to get it now.

      Not a good year to be connected with anything at all that smacks of "business as usual" -- even for "straight-talking maverick" John McCain ...

      Current personalities aside, I find it interesting that the nation underwent, almost exactly a century ago, a similar revulsion of feeling against corporate political influence, ethics (or lack thereof), and stupendous indifference to the well-being of the United States as a whole. This was the era of the so-called "muckrakers"; the hey-day of the Reformers; and the rise of Teddy Roosevelt -- the man who insisted, even as they reviled him, that he was only trying to save corporate capitalists from the consequences of their own wretched excesses. And quite a show it was. Thousands were swept from office on this tide, absolutely dumbstruck that yesterday???s business-as-usual -- that which ???everybody???s doing, and has always done??? -- had become, almost overnight, a political hanging offense.

      Too bad for them, and for their contemporary counterparts. If it is true that local and national politics inevitably seek the most comfortable version humanly available of pigs feeding at the trough, it is also true that there is an equally inevitable periodic attempt by a long-suffering public to just slaughter all those hogs, so to speak, at one fell swoop ... and that somebody is gonna be holding the bag when when that day comes due.

      That???s just the United States of America, for you -- damnedest place I ever heard of ... and the best ...
