Hillary Should Get Out Now

Lace up those working boots and don't forget your gloves America, because Uncle Sam wants you to volunteer in your community. Earlier today while speaking at the community service forum, President Obama stated, "While there's plenty that government can and must do ... there's a lot that government can't and shouldn't do and that's where active, engaged citizens come in." Now I'm not proclaiming community service isn't a righteous deed to partake in, my issue is that of the government. President Obama should be relaying to Congress and his administration, that upholding the law and serving the people is the essence of liberty. Obama should record, then playback his own messages, and realize that there are numerous things the government can???t fulfill, such as running a successful health care operation. Or the ability to promote democracy to individuals that don't want anything to do with western civilization. Helping your neighbor and your community, promote peace and prosperity throughout the country. The one issue that keeps this country divided, is the importance placed on political party affiliation. We are all one, and a donkey and an elephant shouldn't keep us apart. Staying righteous to your country and its people is of the upmost importance of our political leaders.

C'mon Alter - you need to get out more. Come down to SE Oklahoma, you can fly into Tulsa, make sure you rent a pick-up truck, leave the monkey suit at the Hilton, get some used blue jeans at Goodwill, get yourself a Nascar t-shirt and a John Deere Cap, get some camo boots at BassPro shop, drive down US 69 , make sure not to order eggs Benedict at Denny's and count the Obama bumper stickers - notta, listen for anyone touting Obama - notta. Don't talk, just listen.

Jonathan, I strongly agree. Hillary needs to get out now. But she won't. She has her ego to take care of.

Well I'm not sure if she should come out of the race or not....I am an Obama supporter but as long as she continues to lose money running for office we won't have to worry about her running again in 2012. I am also a woman and willing to vote for a United States President that is a female...but I am sorry but Clinton just isn't the one...and her refusal to make the decision that would be beneficial to her political party and give this country it best chance of having a Democratic President after the mess that the Republican's have made (which of course needs no explanation) is just...what's that old saying "the proof is in the pudding" or something like that...A geriatric college student...Yvonne

I don't think hillary should should think about guns for all the CHILDREN that are getting shot in different schools and at different ages or does that matter to her which, i don't think so

Hillary quit?
Are you kidding?
She can't quit. Then the fund-raising stops.
If the fund raising stops, she is left holding the bag on millions in campaign debt.
And we all know that the Clintons have never paid the bill in their life.

To: ???Clinton Obama,???
The party DOES have bigger issues. That is the point and exactly the reason Clinton needs to stand down. Because this is not about HER or HIM, it is about the causes and interests the Democratic Party represents. To endanger those causes and interests for personal ambition or vanity is a disgraceful failure of character. How does it help Americans to slow and reverse global warming, gain access to health care, close the income gap, gat a fairer tax code to continue squabbling over which individual is our nominee as the right wing unites and works to defeat our entire agenda? How does it protect civil liberties in a time of fear, secure civil rights, redeem America???s moral capital in international affairs, to see Democratic icons engage in race-baiting and Muslim-baiting? What if Obama is the nominee? How does it help our chances in the fall, or the administration that follows if we win, to have leading members of our own party vocally suggest that he is incompetent to protect America, weak as a military leader, and lacking in basic patriotism? What conditions could possibly exist under which a Democratic nominee would not be weakened by having their primary opponent describe the Republic nominee as more fit and qualified?

Many of us who have been urging Hillary to withdraw for weeks now have not been motivated by preference for Obama. Indeed, if the roles were reversed and Obama had dropped 13 straight primaries, fallen hopelessly behind, and managed to come back in Ohio and Texas only through misogynistic attacks and by endorsing Republican invective that Clinton was unelectably divisive or dishonest or some such thing nonsense, the chorus for him to put duty over self-interest and principle over personal ambition would be deafening. And you can be sure I would be shouting as loud as anyone.

As Sen. Leahy said the other day, Hillary has every right to stay in the race, but not one good reason. For Democrats, it is time (past time) for us all to recall that, regardless of our personal candidate preferences, which of them is our nominee is just not as important as defeating McCain. To do that, we need to tone down the attacks, start uniting, and get a nominee. If that means Hillary (or Obama if things had gone differently earlier in the process) is out of time and options, those are the breaks. As someone who has voted for her, given time and hours to her campaigns, and always held her in high regard, I sincerely hope she finds it in herself to rise to this challenge. It would be sad indeed if, after all the good things she has accomplished, and the vicious assaults she has had to bear, that she should erase those and fall from grace as the result of her own shortcomings. Let us fervently hope for her, but also for us, that she does not. Let us hopes she stands down.

I find your ongoing crusade to get rid of Hillary in the name of journalism to be despicable. I have stopped watching your and Olbermann's nightly "hatefest" and find your so-called arguments to be unamerican and misogynistic. You are no better than the Bush conglomerate when it comes to respecting and upholding constitutional rights and civil liberties; your way of operating is to abuse the once good name that you had in a lame attempt to massage the public into supporting your candidate at any cost. The cost will be a loss of my vote and many, many others. While you were never a "Woodward or Bernstein", where were your journalistic skills when it came to uncovering or at the very least fairly reporting on the atrocities of your guy in bed with Reverand Wright (a whopping one of a myriad of facts that demonstrate the harsher realities of your candidate). Why don't you put your energies into investigative journalism and unbiased reporting instead of dictating your viewpoints to others. Better yet, go play at the playground where you might find some five year olds gullible to drink your vial kool-aid. Got it.

Granted, you are no "Woodward and Bernstein", but you might be better served these days spending your days at your local playground where five year olds just might be gullible enough to buy into your crap. Get it.

I think in your fast food world of journalism you need to slow down and let the race play out. If the Obama supporters are so scared that Hillary can destroy his chances by destroying the party maybe the party has bigger issues? Give these other states the right to vote and have their voice heard! If you(the journalists) are just so tired of talking Hillary -take a vacation!
maybe you can plan your vacation days during the next primaries

Alter, watched you on Olberman again tonight, kicking Hillary again. I would match my knowledge of History and Politics with you any day. Saying that, who do you and the rest of the media think you are telling us who we should vote for, and telling clinton she should drop out of the race? You male Chuvinist pig! Yu would rather see a male with almost no experience become Leader of the free world, than see a woman in that position. Look around you Mr. Rocket Scientist, that is what we have now. Bush is the guy that was likable, one, not like Gore, and look what good that did us! Mind yur own business. Wish you would drop out of journalism, leave decisions on who should drop out of the presidntial race to the citizens.

Mr Alter, stop using journalism to campaign for one candidate!! Stop this non sense. Hillary is getting momentum because people is starting to realize that Obama is a liability for the a Democratic win in November. The best that Obama should do is allow MI and FL to revote and see who the presidential candidate should be. Hillary is the most qualified of the candidates to do the job, period!

The only person who should get out is You Alter.. How dare you ask the most qualified candidate to leave the race. If Clinton had the same experience as Obama (from being a state legislator to one year of actually showing up in the US senate, you would NEVER CONSIDER HER WORTH Y TO RUN FRO PRESIDENT. Yet, with you Oprah mentallity, you have the nerve to ask her to resign. could it have anything to do with the woman?

"It's time to stop overlearning the lesson of New Hampshire", says Mr. Alter. Really?! I guess Mr. Alter still needs a lesson or 2 about New Hamshire. How presumptuous and outrageously irresponsible this article is. It's only fitting that Mr. Alter should himself have a "graceful exit" from Newsweek. He "won't, of course". For this reason, I have just cancelled subscription to teh magazine, which I've had for over 20 years -that's how offended I was. I figured I didn't need this blatant attempt to shoot down and discredit a candidate I view as the democrats' best shot for the White House.

"It's time to stop overlearning the lesson of New Hampshire", says Mr. Alter. Really?! It seems that you still need a lesson or two about New Hampshire. This article is so presumptuous and so irresponsibly outrageous that Mr. Alter should resign his post at Newsweek. Since he doesn't have the "grace" to do it, I just cancelled my Newsweek's abonnement. I figured I knew better than read this utter and myopic nonsense.
