    Hillary os getting desparate, emotioonal and rude. These are not good attributes for a prospective President of the Great United States of America

    If anything, it is Obama who should get out now. He is not the leader whom people think he is. He is all talk but very little action. He has little experience and I can know, if he were to win the nomination, he would have a hard time beating the McCain. Furthermore, he does not have to play the race card. It has automatically been played for him by others in his campaign. He is slick with words but is stymied on real solutions. The real question: would he be ready on Day One--NO. Will he ever be ready--NO. And the shameless article that Jonathan has written on this is nothing more than bashing without understanding facts. Clinton knows from Day One that we are going to inherit the deep problems that the Republicans leave the nation. Obama thinks he knows, but I know from all the debates, that he has gone from insecure to cocky and he is not prepared. Under an Obama administration, we will not ever succeed. 15 million people being left out of heath care under his policy? Yes, that's the way to go. Readying for troops to come home. Obama does not have a clue to how Washington and the Republicans work if he thinks he can magically wave some wand and get the troops out soon and without anything in place in Iraq. He is unprepared, inexperienced and yes, he is counting on the Black vote, He certainly has gained his momentum in Southern States where there were record turn outs of Black votes. And then he was certainly asked "Was he BLACK enough" Just what does that mean? The final thoughts, get a grip Safari,(the last person who posted here). Obama is not the answer. He is slick and cockly now and on a roll. If he should win, we will be in bad shape.

      Comment: Comment: Hillary Clinton Goofs Again
      A Commentary by Dick Morris

      Who was it that defined neurosis as repeating the same mistake again and again, and expecting a better outcome each time? That is really what the Clinton campaign is doing in its post-Chesapeake primary strategy. Now Hillary defines Obama as the candidate who makes speeches, while she is the one who provides answers and solutions.

      Why is Hillary embracing this new line? Its not that she has any great record of solutions or answers of which to boast, but rather that she wants to highlight Obama's lack of a legislative record. Once again, she and her campaign geniuses are making the same mistake they made when they decided to use the experience as their defining difference with Obama. Its not that she had much, but they sensed an opportunity to highlight that he had even less.
      Of course experience not only didn't work. It backfired massively. By co-opting the experience tag, Hillary bought into the status quo and left Obama to be the agent of change. A candidacy that could have excited tens of millions of women, the first serious prospect of a female president, became merely a boring part of the status quo, shorn of its novelty.

      Hillary's claim to be the solution-person won't work either for the same simple reason: She hasn't passed any...she hasn't walked the walk so now she cannot talk the talk.

      As a first lady, Hillary's sole important legislative involvement came during the first two years of her husband's presidency when she sought to pass her ill-conceived health care reform, an effort that failed so miserably that it cost her party control of the House of Representatives for the first time in 40 years. Between 1995 to 1997, she was largely absent from the White House, traveling the world, promoting her best selling book and helping to raise funds. She never attended strategy meetings and her only intervention in the singular legislative achievements of Bill's administration welfare reform and the balanced budget deal was privately to urge a veto of the former and to oppose the latter because it provided for a cut in the capital gains tax. Hillary returned to the White House in 1998 to oversee the defense to the Lewinsky scandal and the impeachment attempt, but the Clinton administration essentially folded its legislative efforts during those years and hung on for dear life. No portfolio of accomplishments there...

      Her only actual legislation included one bill to increase nurse recruitment, another to aid respite time for Alzheimer's care givers and another to expand veteran's health benefits, a paltry output for six years service.

      In her second term, she has spent full-time campaigning for president and has the worst attendance record of the three senators now still in the presidential race.

      Sam you are so smart maybe you should run for President, keep you negataive thoughts to yourself no one cares what you think.

      Obama should "get out now" when he leads by almost a million popular votes??? Don't think you'd be singing that tune were it Hillary who had that kind of lead.

      And, tell me, if it's Hillary who's so much more qualified to run this country, how do you explain how badly she mangled her campaign? If that's the way she manages, NO THANKS.

  • Posted By: truth31 @ 02/25/2008 3:58:43 PM

    She makes my skin crawl. All she knows how to do is attack and agrue. I hope people in Ohio and Texas relize this. I have to admit, the media make me laugh, but it makes my stomack sick when I realize she only wants power.

  • Posted By: Ohiocincinnati @ 02/25/2008 3:40:09 PM

    do not understand why obama people is so crazy???
    Are you guys so childish that Obama can change Washington?? whoever is president can not change anything. the best one is Lincoln, he also not change too much. today, there are still gap between white and Afican America.
    Wake up!!!!
    Wake up!!!

      If you open up a book and learn the words that are written upon the pages you will be part of that 'gap' up here instead of that 'gap' down there. No matter what you look like. I work in the financial industry and have had may non-white, non-male superiors. They took pride in achievement and took responsibility for their success instead of blaming others for their failure.

    Man files Federal Lawsuit against Obama regarding GAY sexual act and drug use claims **
    A man named Larry Sinclair posted a video to YouTube claiming to have used cocaine and engaged in a gay sexual act with Obama when Obama was a state legislator in 1999.
    In the video, Sinclair claims he and Obama met on two separate occasions, that Obama used crack cocaine and that Sinclair performed an oral sexual act on Obama both evenings.
    Now Obama and company are quickly trying to quiet this man, but Sinclair has filed a federal lawsuit. Sinclair filed suit against Obama and his campaign guru David Axelrod in Minnesota district court for allegedly attempting to abridge Sinclair's right to free speech, and for waging an intimidation campaign against him.
    check out the video on youtube for yourself:
    [www.youtube.com]
    Both MSNBC and the New York Post have verified the authenticity of the facts... will the American public have to wait until Obama gets the nomination to finally have this become public...1st on FOX News??? it will be too late for the Democratic Party... Obama needs to be fully vetted... seems like at the age of 40 someone was getting busy in the back of a limosine. Crack and gay

      What are you worried about. Some sicko like you will probably gun him down. Sinclair failed two lie detector tests. Youi are really naive and gullible. Exactly the type of voter Billary relies on.

    Clinton should step aside. It's time to go out gracefully instead of all these desparate attempts to destroy the Democratic Party's credibility. Hilary is trying to go on her husbands record when it suits her, but if she wants to keep any semblance of dignity ,she needs to step down.

  • Posted By: denverdoc1450 @ 02/25/2008 3:43:11 PM

    Instead of touting her own accomplishments and plans, Hillary has been trashing Obama. It's the old 'sore loser' strategy: if the Clintons can't win, no other Democrat will. This is pathetic and, if Obama loses the nomination because of her trashing, will cause some Obama voters to either stay home in November, or vote for anyone other than Hillary.

    The Democratic party leaders should put a stop to her 'bad-mouthing', but they appear powerless to oppose the Clintons. This is eventually going to cost the Party the White House for another 8 years. Pathetic.

    • Posted By: democrat4life @ 02/25/2008 3:54:09 PM

      The Only thing that will cause the Democrats to lose in November will be voters such as yourself who thinka that if the Candidate you picked isn't chosen you just wont vote. That is the most idotic thing I have ever heard. The republicans are sitting back watching us fight like cats and dogs. The media and radio personalities are influencing voters with their personal inflections about each candidate. People need to learn how to make up their minds. Barack Obama wasn't even in the US Senate when the Vote to go to war was up. He talks a good game and that all.

    How dare you, Johnnathan Alter, disregard the millions of people who voted and still plan to vote for her this March 4th. . What gives you and the other latte drinking media pundits the right to pressure HRC to quit the race. People who voted for Hillary believe in HER message and Obama's empty message of hope.

  • Posted By: denverdoc1450 @ 02/25/2008 3:47:59 PM

    Instead of touting her accomplishments and plans, Hillary has been trashing Obama. This, if he wins the nomination, is likely to come back to damage him in the general election. It's the old 'sore loser' strategy by Hillary: if she can't win, no Democrat can.

    Her actions are going to wind up driving some Obama voters (if he loses) to vote for ANY other candidate besides Hillary Clinton. She's pathetic, and will wind up costing Democrats any chance at the White House for yet another 8 years.

      Agree, she is causing division that can hurt the Democratic party.

    Why anyone would let Dick Morris comment on ANYTHING is beyond me. Everytime I see him I feel like I need a shower. Ok, so he no longer likes the Clinton's...is HE a paragon of virtue? He is a slime!

  • Posted By: sweetwhispers @ 02/25/2008 3:50:01 PM

    Obama doesn't need Hillary Clinton's help to be not consistent about real issues. He is not consistent with his own books, his own program, and his own words...Unlike you, I have an excellent memory, and I really don't like to be feed with false hopes. You should leave your cavern and see the reality...How Obama the maker of hopes will finance all his promises ? Dreams and shadows are free during elections, it just after that you know how much they cost.

    How dare you Jonathan Alter. What gives you and the other latte drinking media pundits the right to decide who will be the nominee for the democrates. There are millions of people who believe in Hillary's platform and voted for her. They are not blind sheep being led by your establishment media.

    This is for Richard Johns. Although given credit for his strong opposition to the Iraq war I wouldn't be so sure he would have voted differently once in the senate. He was not in the US senate when the Iraq war vote took place. His voting record on the Iraq war spoke differently once in the senate. Bottomline he lacks the courage when he needs to take a stance on ttough issues, example: Iran resolution bill. Obama voted for Dick Cheney's 2005 energy bill that gave millions to oil and gas companies. Tell me how this helped the struggling families in our country. BTW, Hillary voted against Cheney's energy bill. . As for HRC's failed attempt at health care reform. Did you forget the sleazy 'Harry & Louise" ads? Same tactic the obama campaign is now using.

    johnathon alter is a msnbc mouthpiece...simply put he is on msnbc practically every night so he can give the answers to the pointed questions that the talking heads ask in such a way as to get the answer they want. First of all johnathon..do yourself a favor..shave the middle of your head..it looks gross on tv. Secondly who the hell are you to tell Hillary Clinton what to do. She has given her entire life to public service..You on the other hand are just another bland reporter spouting his opinion like it is supposed to mean something. I find your entire article laughable because you my friend are like all the msnbc people on the Obama bandwagon.......too bad...being a independent thinker is a good thing...maybe you should try it.

  • Posted By: hilsup @ 02/25/2008 3:40:19 PM

    Hillary doesn't need to quit, you so called self righteous "journalists" (that's a laugh) have taken good care of her. Not only have you "sainted" Obama, you've also given him the credit for ousting Hillary, but that singular reward goes to you, to Tim Russert, MSNBC and the like. I had no idea the male "ego" was that fragile. You should be so proud. You can tell your daughters how you tore down the witch and sent her packing. Shame on you!

    EDDIEWHERE WROTE: 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.

    EDDIEWHERE:
    When I read your comment or comments like these, I say there's still loyalty and humanity left in this world!
    That's why I always say I love Hispanics, although I am not a hispanic person!
    Hispanic, Asian, and all other minorities (except one of them) never forget how much throughout the good and bad times Clintons helped all the minorities! This is what Obamaniac can't never understand:
    "Seing is believing."

    • Posted By: cristina2 @ 02/25/2008 3:36:27 PM

      What did the Clintons do for hispanics and other minorities or for anyone else for that matter? What do we need to be loyal about? Bill Clinton got lucky and rode the wave of economics that started well before he became president. Does anyone know anything about how the economy works or heard about business cycles? I am hispanic but I am an educated individual and understand that the president alone doesn't command all the economic forces. We now live in a global economy. The US is no longer in isolation.

    I'm not sure why anyone would think a woman who played the race card, cried to get sympathy from female voters, drew first blood with the negative attacks, and stood before the press in a manic rage on Saturday would suddenly have the grace and good sense to suspend her campaign for the sake of the Democratic party (and my poor ears!). I came into the primaries undecided between Hillary and Obama. But as I've seen Hillary's tactics, I'm firmly in the Obama camp.
