Mr. Alter should spend more time investigating the fluff behind Obama's work history, and less time speculating on the unforeseeable! Way to go to Dan Abrams for shooting you down!!

Hillary Clinton will never make the White House. I believe she already knows she will not win and is using the rest of her campaign to pay off her loyal flollowing with huge consultant fees. All this at the expense of the many citizens that think they are contributing to her campaign when they are really paying up for the next election Hillary will run in.
You call yourself a national columnist! You have no credibility whatsoever. Hillary has a good chance of winning the nomination and then the general election because she is exposing Obama for the fake and disillusioned person he really is. No ideas, just blind hope! I have launched Operation Obama "Crack"-down, a national effort to discredit Obama based on the issues and his glaring lack of experience in any realm in public policy. You should be ashamed of yourself for suggesting such, and when Hillary wins in November, she will have the last laugh!!
Hillary has already accepted defeat. She is now playing the political loyalty game of rewarding her loyal friends with high pay for essentially helping her ride it out to the end. She has given too many signals she know the end is near. However, she gives no excuses for the terrible job her staff has done, except to reward them with more payola.....
Preaching hope, inspiration, change, with no substance, no specifics, no media challenge, and media fawning, Obama is instructive of how demagogues rise to power to inflict horrors on humanity.
Newsweek is obviously a pro-Obama attack machine on Hillary Clinton. In calling for the Democratic nomination process to shut down prematurely, Newsweek is seeking to swipe the Democratic nomination from Hillary Clinton using the Bush technique of stealing the election.
Newsweek's pro-Obama bias against Hillary Clinton in calling for her to "get out now" undermines the Democratic nomination process. The result of this is that Obama will have no legitimacy for supporters of Hillary Clinton, and he will crash and burn in November.
The media tyranny of Newsweek and Alter is an abominable assault on our democracy.
if you had a choice, how would you choose? dog or cat , puppy or kitten. we lost 2 older cats in one year. this is my thought, almost a non- joke. but, its the thought.
if you had a choice between a new cat.
one , from the shelter thats been locked up and abused and you really dont know where its been or how its
going to behave
two, a cat thats fixed with shots and knows where the litter box is and is very loving
three, a kitten you have to train to do everything. eat, sleep, liiter box. train all together. what would your choice be? how much time do you have?
or should i say , how much time do we have to wait? the last 8 yaers have been unreal to say its been wonderful for big oil and business to run the country. hows your retiremet doing? choose that kitty wisely.
kind of a sick way to portray a presidential race. OK ...you got my vote for psycho of the political thread.
sick huh? sad dude. let me put it in engish for you. mcain is a prisoner of war, like a locked up animal, not easily tamed. war, war war. obama, a upper class black americian, who's roots only go back one generation, and he parents are from kenya. hanst been in congress but, for one term and hardly ever votes when present on the floor. he would be the new kitten.
then mrs. clinton, we know where's she been, we know where she is, and we know where she is going. and she has experience, daughter,mother, wife , lawyer, first lady, and senator, and we have bill too. she is the trained kitty. so, crazy huh.
crazy .....is the nasty garbage i am reading that is called politics.
thank goodness we are still free, freedom of speech is alive and well .
Not a knock on Obama , but Hillary knows how to get things done, a no nonsense realistic approach. The enonomics problems this country is in are enormous, IMO Hillary is the closest thing we hve to a sure thing, why take a chance, if we are wrong on the next President, and people move closer to poverty than away from it , all the feel good stories will disapear real quick.
Great article.
GO HILLARY!!! We need a strong president who will stand by the American people.
Hillary "genuine"? Please, Mr. Alter......
Hillary "genuine"? Please, Mr. Alter......
ONE OF THE STRONGEST STRATEGIES HILLARy CAN IMpLEMET IS ATTACKING THE UNITy factor which is the driving force behind the OBAMA WAVE. WHAT HAppENS IF THERE IS A REpUBLICAN BACK LASH AFTER A NASTy presdential BATTLE. THEN WHAT? WHO WOULD BE THE most effective pRESIDENT in that scenario.
CAN MINORITIES AFFORD TO TAKE THE OBAMA RISK. WE KNOW UNDER THE CLINTON'S MINORITIES WILL pROSpER as they did in the ninety 's. THOSE WERE THE BEST OF TIMES FOR ALL AMERICANS.
LATINO'S ARE Loyal VOTERS. THEy WILL SAVE HILLARy . THERE IS GOING TO BE AN uproar because of the power and influence of the LATINO VOTE. THERE IS NO DOUBT HILLARy WILL WIN TEXAS AND OHIO.
WHEN I THINK OF HILLARy I THINK OF My MOTHER. ROCK SOLID on my side no matter what. SOMEONE WHO KNOWS WHAT IS "GOING ON" AND ALWAyS HAS My BEST INTEREST AT HEART. I IDOLIZE MICHAEL JORDON. HOWEVER I WOULD VOTE FOR My MOM OVER MICHAELJORDON. WHy I KNOW HER. MOST AMERICANS WOULD CHOOSE THEIR MOM OVER JORDON FOR president.
"IN HILLARY WE TRUST" eddiewhere 2008
WE MUST, WE CAN, WE WILL
I wouldn't believe anything you see in the mainstream press right now. This Newsweek column is a ruse and shame, written by a fellow Harvard grad (Obama and Alter both graduated from Harvard). Yeah, those secret society ties run deep.
For all you idiots drinking the wacky Obama Kool Aid, get real. This is about fixing our country not "rock star idolization". I've watched all the debates and thoroughly read up on both candidiates. I see through the hype and support Hillary Clinton. To see how the media has chosen to endorse Sensationalism over Substance, is extremely pathetic. Hillary is better qualified and has always been committed to solving the problems of America. She is not some Johnny-come-lately. I'm also disgusted by the "Obama bullies" banging their drums for a candidate whose accomplishments they can't even list. I recently asked a few Obama supporters to list just one of Obama's accomplishments for me. Not a single one of those five people could come up with anything!!!! Just ridiculous!!! Just because you're legally old enough to vote doesn't mean you have good judgment.
Wake up America and turn down the noise, get real, and look at the person who actually has a proven track record of solutions. As with any job that needs to be filled, you hire the candidate with the best qualifications, commitment, and proven track record, that's Hillary Clinton, end of debate!!!
STAND UP FOR SUBSTANCE AMERICA!!!
Reporters in a lot of mainstream media outlets usually belong to Obama's core constituencies. (college educated, upper income caucasians) Also, just like anyone else, they are entitled to their opinion, especially since this is an opinion column; it's not supposed to be factual reporting.
People such as Rush Limbaugh and Ann Coulter are equally protected under the right to free speech. Unfortunately for them though, they simply can't command the audience a respected mainstream publication such as newsweek has. People would be hurling the same accusations at them if they constituted the mainstream media.
My point? If you don't like the opinions, you're perfectly free to read a different publication.

There's an even better reason for Hillary to get out of the race: she is less--perhaps much less--electable in a race against John McCain.
Example: the LA Times story ( www.latimes.com/.../la-na-gopobama25feb25,0,4658669.story ) this week on Republicans for Obama. In it, one of Obama's GOP campaign workers said that, as strongly as he feels that a change of political direction is needed, he'd nevertheless vote for McCain over Clinton if she were to become the nominee.
What struck me about the remark was the frequency with which I've heard it myself: nearly all the Republicans and independents I know are disgusted with Bush and set to vote for a Democrat--but not if that Democrat is Hillary. (A vehement "I CAN'T STAND HER" usually follows this declaration.)
Now, this probably only proves how effectively conservatives have demonized the woman over the past decade and a half. Still, when people are punching their ballot cards in November, the whys will not be important.
This country CANNOT survive another 4-8 years of conservatives' self-serving ideological nonsense. A Democratic victory in November is essential, and having Hillary as our candidate may well put that outcome critically at risk. Vote Obama.
Get serious. Who in Hillary's circle is going to tell Hillary it's time to throw in the towel. Their scared to death of her. Would you tell someone who thinks she should be President just because she's more liberal then Obama to drop out. It's a bitter pill to swallow when you find out your not the rock star you use to be. There's a new rock star out there who sings totally different then Hillary does and his fans are listening to the words.
Even as Mr. Alter and other such news media are IN BED WITH OBAMA, here is yet another plea for all sane folks left who don't mindlessly worship Obama as some kind of messiah......
OBAMA vs. HILLARY is not some sort of popularity contest where CHARMS trumps EXPERIENCE or HERD MENTALITY & MEDIA PUSH trumps SOUND REASONING or RHETORIC trumps ISSUES. As we very well know, this election may be the most important of our lifetime and lets not botch it by letting the FORMER trump the LATTER. If we made the wrong choice of the FORMER, we can rest assured that it would play right into the GOP hands and this nation could be on a path of irreversible self-destruction.
Have you all forgotten that WISE PEOPLE TALK LESS and WISDOM COMES WITH EXPERIENCE and....guess what.....Obama talks a lot and has little experience to show for. After watching nearly every one of Obama's victory speeches, I am so convinced that his MESSAGE OF HOPE is almost like DOPE - you get an instant high (that lasts for a little while) even though you know its not the right thing.
In these challenging times, we should not let our hearts alone dictate our votes. Remember again...and I am putting it bluntly....its not about PICKING THE ONE WHO YOU WOULD LIKE TO BE IN BED WITH. Lets get our heads cleared up and make the right choice - HILLARY alone has the right EXPERIENCE (WISDOM), IRON-WILL, VISION and the SMARTS to lead our great nation in these very challenging times.
In the name of all good things to come.....HILLARY ALL THE WAY!
Wisdom certainly does come with experience: like the experience of having your first attempt to implement socialized medicine shoved back in your face; like the experience of turning the White House into a bed & breakfast; like the experience of the Whitewater investigation; like the experience of secretly exposing your husband's philandering to gain sympathy for yourself; like receiving monetary and other "gifts" during the last four months of your tenure as First Lady, etc., etc.
You have been listening to Rush Limbaugh, Ann Coulter, Shawn Hannity, etc too much. Try coming back to the real world. Things look much different from here.
This feels like Bush all over again. You and the MSM didn't do your job then, and your not doing it now. How about some substantive questions for Obama, a little more indepth reporting and less bias. I can not get over the lack of objectivity in journalism these days...what the hell are you all smoking?
