    Comment: WOW - good comments. NOT!!! Try to sound a little less bitter folks. It isn't that bad out there. Even if that Berlin Wall between the US and Mexico is completed by them mean people think of all the nice jobs for the folks who end up taking it down when the light shines in Washington with the new Democratic President. :-) Smile and have a nice day. P.S. A little less caffeine may help you cherry dispositions!!! Think - then write - please and thanks.

    Comment: Under the Obama bus you will find women, Jews, new born babies, latinos, his grandmother, and most ???typical??? white people.

    Obama dismisses those that don???t embrace ???the great Obama light??? as laughable and ignorant. He relishes ???a following??? that includes college kids that don???t pay taxes, liberals consumed by guilt, the party dedicated that want change for change???s sake, and everyone else with a chip on their shoulder that portray America as an evil country ??? while wrapping themselves in the free speech and liberty that allows them condemn us.

    Comment: I AM JUST CURIOUS, HOW MUCH OF THE $40 MILLION DONATED TO OBAMAS CAMPAIN COMES FROM ILLEGAL CRIMES SUCH AS INNER CITY DRUG DEALERS SELLING HEROIN OR CRACK, OR GANGSTA RAP MUSIC DENOGRATING WOMEN, WHILE THE MIDDLE CLASS STRUGGLES TO STAY AFLOAT OR IS UNEMPLOYED AND CANNOT AFFORD TO DONATE TO HIS OR HER CANDIDATE. THE SCARY PART IS THESE PEOPLE AND THAT MONEY IS GOING TO POSSIBLY ELECT OUR NEXT PRESIDENT!

    Comment:
    Question -

    How is it that reporting the things Hillary says on the campaign trail negative press coverage?

    Does anybody consider that Hillary says things that hurt herself? - or that her campaign's behavior puts her in a bad light? - or Bill Clinton says ridiculous things that make his wife look bad?

    It's like taking a picture - sometimes you look like crap and the camera doesn't lie. Sometimes you look fat because you are fat...........etc....You guys should think about this before whining about the coverage.

    Comment:
    Hillary is Davidson??

    Uh......I think not. Hillary is the most well known politician on the planet. Her wins (and early voting) in California, NY and NJ were bolstered my name recognition as much as anything else (on February 5th, many people never even heard of Obama, which also explains her fake win in the Florida beauty contest on the same day). This upstart true cinderella team Obama is handing it to Duke, UCLA, and North Carolina rolled in to one!!! He is ahead in the popular vote (no meaning), states won (no meaning), and the two most meaningful metrics: the pledged delegates (insurmountable lead), and superdelgate trends since Feb 5th; Obama has gained 55 and Clinton has lost 5..........Not a very good trend folks, considering this is the only trend that matters, as delegates nominate candidates (not big states, or primary states, or popular votes, etc.....)

    Hillary has been very smart the last couple days by not continuing the promise of taking her campaign to the credentials committee at the convention, as that was surely the reason for this weeks Obama endorsements. Hopefully she will be careful and continue to focus on McCain from this point on.

    So long as she doesn't play dirty and hurt our eventual nominee, she should absolutely be able to compete until the last primary - she's not far behind, and upsets do happen...........

    But not by the top seed...............Obama is the ultimate cinderella, so please spare me the Davidson talk. Sounds like you've been on too many conference calls with Wolfson!

    All in good fun -

    Obama '08

    Comment: Hotstuff: The only thing hot about your comments is your ignorant responses. You are definitely acting your shoesize. My grandson is much better educated than you and he is 7.
    Zombie: Thanks for watching my back.
    Holyroller: Thanks for all your insights.
    Unfortunately the youngsters on these blogs really have no clue about politics because if they did they would know that what is going on here is political maneuvering.
    Hillary should not leave the race until everything is said and done. Davidson, although they lost in the end, kept on challenging Kansas. Hillary is Davidson and she needs to continue because its not over yet. Too many players are jumping on Obama's bandwagon to force Hillary to quit. I guess when election time comes for those defectors than they may lose their posts and it will serve them right. Not even Obama will be able to bail them out.
    The problem with Obama is 1) his loyalties are questionable, 2) no one has been able to define his hope and change platform not even him, and 3) he continues to ride on the coattails of others because he has no clues as to how to find solutions to the issues on his own.
    The DNC has their hands full because the road to the White House is through Florida and Michigan. All a candidate needs is to get majority of the 11 electorate rich states with the middle states covering the balance. Florida and Michigan is pissed and Obama did nothing to appease them. He is doing the same thing as he did about the Afghanistan debacle. Nothing. You cannot vote present on matters of concern and think people will continue to support you.

    Comment: Hillary Clinton needs to begin to prepare her exit from the race... Several sources in her own camp admit that she has virtually no chance of winning the nomination except if she succeeds in finding James Hoffa's body and moving it in Obama's flower garden to put the blame on him.

    Since there is little chance for the body to be found, she makes all these negative assertions. The goal seems to be the 2012 election. By putting enough doubts on Obama, Hillary is hoping that he will lose to McCain and that she or Chelsea (who is also an experienced leader after her journey at the White House mansion) will be able to run in 2012. The Clintons might then be able to capitalize again with the rental of the Lincoln Bedroom to big lobbyists.

    Whatever happens, since the Judas story with Richardson, we know that Hillary believes in ressurection; she or her husband Bill would be Jesus if I understood correctly the story. So, we can assume that Hillary will not hesitate to play the kamikaze with this election or the next one since she will probably reborn again, as the savior.

    Hillary Clinton needs to begin to prepare her exit from the race before she hurts herself or others.

    Comment: Obama is trying to claim credit for a federal bill he didn't work on, as pointed out in the Washington Post. It is a ploy he used to great effect in the Illinois Senate with the help of Emil Jones who handed him the sponsorship of virtually everything that any other Democrat worked on. This ploy was so effective, it launched Obama onto the national stage. Jones bragged that he had made himself a U.S. Senator. Obama has been riding on the backs of other people's hard work. "No one wants to carry the ball 99 yards all the way to the one-yard line, and then give it to the halfback who gets all the credit and the stats in the record book." Fortunately, Dodd had the good judgement recently to push Obama back. I guess Obama wants Dodd and others (those that have graciously endorsed him) to play the same game that he and Emil Jones played in the Illinois Senate.

    Emil Jones, by the way, single-handedly killed a bill that would have extended price caps for customers of Commonwealth Edison and other utilities.

    Jones has also attempted to block proposed laws cracking down on his state???s pay-to-play tradition ??? whereby companies hoping to win government contracts have to contribute to the campaign funds of officials.

If you don't qualify for a loan ,you can't speculate.This is the same bunch from saving and loan scandles, tax payer paid than too.

      Comment: If it's just a GOP thang, Karenn, how come Clinton and Obama are supporting it? No argument that it's premeditated robbery -- it is -- but both parties are squarely in the frame, here; and the higher you go up each party's hierarchy the snugger that frame fits. Clinton and Obama are no more classic "Democrats" than George Bush is a classic "Republican" -- and have, in fact, rendered those old labels meaningless ... "snares to catch woodcocks", as Shakespeare put it ...

    Comment: Yes, I have read the article and the reference to the speech being JFK-like just ruined anything else he had to say. Yes, Bill turned things around. This is Hillary and I am sure that she will have the best around her. But the present administration has done a real number on the economy, it is going to take more than wishful thinking for anyone to pull it out.

The fall in 29 was caused more by the reaction in the congress than what happened on Wall Street. There is going to be a market correction. Anyone who wants to go save a bunch of speculators only puts the rest of us a greater risk. Why don't we just let Hillary continue to campaign and leave well enough alone.

    Comment: So will mine. I'd like to know who the educated people who are backing him are. Let them show their faces. I have yet to run across them. Noone that I am aquainted with backs him. He just threw up an office in S. IL. overnight. We haven't seen nor heard from him since the senate election. I have contacted the office many times as I have done for all of my reps. All I got was "I don't know what the senator thinks about .......". Two hours before the Gonzales vote they had no idea where he stood. So I have seen him in action. I'd like the people who are backiing him to show their faces. There have been very few brave enough. Oparh has paid for her little fling in the light. Mr. Richardson, who I respected til now, has shown his face. Ted and Kerry, oh well. The Governor of Virginia said if his candidate didn't get the nomination there would be riots. But that doesn't tip the scales. Where are all these brave folks? Over 200 of them? I'm still bothered by the patriot thing. You notice that he skirts around that issue.

    Comment: Indeed the dynamics of this primary election season are unique, with the first African American and the first woman battling for the Democratic nomination. The latest bombshell, involving Obama's (and Oprah's - she's retreated into her cocoon!) pastor, clearly did damage to Obama, so he had to make a concerted effort to contain the fallout. His speech a few days ago, given wide prominence by CNN (surprise!!!), was really a cover-my-butt delivery, but CNN and other Obama sympathizers portrayed it as both Martin Luther Kingesque and Gandhiesque. Then, to add icing on the cake, Bill Richardson, who failed miserably to garner any support of consequence in his ill-fated run, came out in support of his 'great leader', without revealing what was clearly a quid pro quo arrangement with Obama. When all is said and done, the candidate with the most impressive credentials may end up short because of a mostly clear pattern of racial voting - talk about rolling the dice in choosing a president! But the sad part of it is that disaffected Democratic voters are likely to end up as "Democrats for McCain." And then President McCain, when at least two justices of the Supreme Court retire, is likely to grant those who flocked to the Obama bandwaggon, what Pres. Bush Snr granted them - two more Clarence Thomases. Then my bumper sticker will read: "Don't Blame Me. I Voted Hillary." God Bless America!

    Comment: Martin; that's a joke right? Really, why are all the Obama people so afraid of Penn. and the other states yet to be counted? I say we go all the way to Puerto Rico and let them have their say. You gotta problem with people voting or something? All the news media and the Obama campaign are upping the ante and just keep getting nastier and nastier about Hillary so just think of it this way. People like you can keep blaming her for everything including the plague. Won't that be fun? And, Maybe we will have time to ask some questions about Tony Rezko and David Axelrod's dirty campaign in Il to get Obama elected to the senate .Why don't you re read the part about how Obama ended up with his new house and land.
    We can all have so much fun because Hillary Clinton is not going to quit because of pressure. She's been there and she is not a quitter.

    Comment: A GRAND BARGAIN FOR DEMOCRATIC PARTY UNITY

    It is clear, with Politico.com reporting that even Hillary's campaign is coming to the rational conclusion that she has--at best--a ten percent chance of winning, that uniting the Democratic Party around Barack Obama is imperative.

    Here is a solution that allows everyone to take something from the table, which is what it is going to take for the Party to begin the healing process.

    A deal should be struck whereby Hillary agrees to withdraw from the race, and Obama agrees to let most of the Florida and Michigan delegations be seated at the convention.

    Hillary could then claim a victory of sorts, as making this the "price" of a dignified exit would allow her to say she is putting the Party's prospects in November above her own ambitions.

    It would also help the Democrats win those two states in the general election.

    It requires noblesse oblige from both sides.

    Obama clearly has it.

    And if Hillary takes the deal, it would do a lot for her restoring the family legacy that this ugly campaign, and especially Bill Clinton's role in it, has so tarnished.

    Comment: CLINTON???S ANTI-AMERICAN & ANTI-SEMETIC ???HILL RAISER???
    Looks like Senator Obama has been able to deal with the justifiable backlash from the Rev. Wright controversy. However, what the media has not yet picked up on, and the Clinton camp has done an excellent job of keeping the lid on, is the story of long time Hillary Clinton friend, financial supporter and a member of the Clinton Campaign???s ???Hill Raisers??? Mehmet Celebi.
    Mr. Celebi is a Muslim movie producer who has the distinction of producing one of the most hostile anti-American and Anti-Semitic films made in Turkey "Valley of the Wolves-Irak"
    Mr. Celebi is a Hillary Clinton mega-donor and bundler and was appointed a delegate by Hillary Clinton to the Democratic National Convention. Until recently, Clinton???s campaign web site identified Mr. Celebi as a ???Hill Raiser??? a designation for those who have raised at least $100,000 for Clinton???s presidential campaign.
    Now the Clinton campaign has announced that it will no longer accept contributions raised by Mr. Celebi (wink-wink), however the problem is non of the contributions raised to date have been returned and he continues to remain an appointed delegate of the Clinton campaign.
    A bigger problem however, is that this Turkish ultra-nationalist extremist- who has worked on and raised money for various anti-American and anti-Semitic projects ??? is still one of Hillary Clinton???s delegates for her campaign for President of the United States.

    Comment: Obama's subversive behavior regarding the residents of Florida and Michigan??? It was HAROLD ICKES, Clinton's campaign manager, who decided that Florida and Michigan should be banned from the Democratic primaries when they moved the primaries up, and Hillary signed on. Now she claims they're "disenfranchised" when they're votes might put her over the top. Only Hillary can claim an election in which the other candidate wasn't even on the ballot was "fair." That smacks of Castro and Stalin.

    Comment: Barak Obama claims he will create change and by directly undermining all existing structures with his subversive behavior of the residents of Florida and Michigan, he carves a hole into democracy and the Democratic Party. All in the name of personal gain and power! It begs the question if the Democratic Party can afford to lose the Presidential election and the respect of the American people due to Obama's presidential campaign effort to win at all costs.

  • Posted By: cookiegramma @ 03/21/2008 6:10:09 PM

    Comment: This blog has gotten far out of line with the article, has anyone actually read it? I do not agree that Clinton's campaign is just now coming out with an economic plan. Months ago her campaign started putting out her ideas about the economy. One of the ideas reflected very well a part of the economic morass that the country now faces. Her ideas for energy included a plan to stop granting huge amounts of money to big iol and actually tax the big oil companies and use the resultant income to encourage research and developement in alternative energy. Of course the Obama campaign also has it's own plan, they would ask big oil to invest some of the massive profits in researching alternative energy. Somehow the plan does not inspire my confidence, big oillikes to give out profits in the form of bonuses to stockholders and executives. It is also rather difficult to believe that a candidate with Ted Kennedy on his team really has a great deal of interest in investing in alternative energy. Ted Kennedy is fighting the building of wind powered electric units off the coast of Cape Cod because they would ruin hisown personal view of the Atlantic. One of the many factors in this economic downturn has most definately been the crisis in energy prices. Up here in New England the cost of heating our homes and fueling our cars has been a major factor in how our money can be budgeted. While it is true that the foreclosure crisis is causing a big downturn it is not the only factor, and I doubt that we have seen the end of this problem. To be honest I have long since started reading the speeches since I know that delivery can influence what we hear. I cannot say that I have heard a sound proposal from other candidates.

    Comment: Can't we ever have an intelligent debate without resorting to sniping? Ahem, Hillary supporters....

    I love how Hillary supporters are jumping on the Rev. Wright bandwagon and using this to argue that Obama is somehow unfit to be president because of his association with him. It is a classic case of guilt by association. The striking irony here is that Hillary supporters believe this is a one way street. Is Hillary a liar, adulterer, and perjurer because her husband, Bill, is? Guilt by association afterall? I mean she conceivably sleeps in the same bed as this man....Is she responsible for all of his moral misdeeds and ridiculous statements? Of course not, but I point this out to demonstrate just how ridiculous this whole line of attack is - and Hillary supporters should be ashamed of themselves. Remember the old adage: Those who live in glass houses shouldn't throw stones....Well, it applies here.

    Lets move past the BS, the name calling, and sniping. The 2008 Election is the Democrats election to lose, and this in-fighting is moving us toward that dubious distinction. At the end of the day, the important thing is to get a Democrat into the White House.

      Comment: this message is to squinn, you might want to check out a good number of other blogs. The nastiest language and worst attacks I found came out of the Obama followers. Perhaps you are allowing yourself to read these blogs through rose colored glasses when it comes to people agreeing with you. Both sides have faults and should stop attacking each other. I canot speak for other Hillary supporters, but for myself alone. The truth is that I am just not comfortable with the whole judgement issue. I fail to see how that can make it unjustifiable that I cannot vote for him. He has run a campaign based on judgement and the question I see is about his judgement in attending the church for 20 years and bringing the Reverend to the table as a campaign advisor.

Not everyone has the advantage of your superior status. Most of the world are commoners and as such are entitled to express themselves with whatever limitations that they have. We realize that for you folks it is a chore to tolerate those below your elite status, however there are more of them than there are of you and you might keep that in mind.

      Comment: Grandma - obviously I tolerate uneducated opinions better than you tolerate my educated one!!!! Which certainly puts you in your place, doesn't it????? And shows that your college education did not provide you with any "degree" of understanding or tolerance, did it??? And I repeat what I said earlier - If your opinion is NOT based on logical reasoning, facts or truth - KEEP IT TO YOURSELF!!!!! All you do is demonstrate the high "degree" of your own ignorance and lack of tolerance!!!!

      And I do not believe I gave any indication whether I was in favor or either Hillary or Obama - you decided to let your own prejudices dictate what you wanted to read, rather than what I said..... Just another indication of your own ignorance and stupidity - typical!!!! As well as the fact that "might does not make right" - referring to your statement that there are more stupid people in this world than intelligent ones...... Which is something I am not able to contradict!! If you cannot communicate with a reasonably MINIMUM level of intelligence - keep your opinions where they belong - between your own ears - which is the ONLY place those opinions have any relevance!!!!!!!!!! But that is only one man's opinion......

      DO NOT VOTE based on race, or gender, or party, or emotion, etc. Cast your vote on the basis of who is best qualified to return our government to those principles upon which the U.S. was founded, and that have been forgotten and ignored for the several decades since the U.S. government has become a tool of big business..... If that is too much for you to tolerate or understand - so be it..... You will have let your ignorance and stupidity overrule whatever degree of reason who might have once possessed!!!!!!!!!!!!! Those who ignore history are doomed to repeat it is a fact AND the truth and we are living it RIGHT NOW!!!!!

      My original comments are in general terms, I point the finger at no one single individual - so those of you who think I am pointing the finger at you feel that way because I am describing how you see yourself!!! That means you, grandma!!!! Just because you graduated from college does not mean that you see yourself as an educated and informed person or else you would not have responded as you did!!!! You want to point the finger anywhere and at anyone else but yourself rather than point the finger where it belongs - back at yourself!!!! And your own comments make that quite obvious...... And corroborates my "opinion" that you should keep YOUR opinions to yourself!!!! All you do is make it clear that you ARE ignorant despite your possessing a college degree.... Which goes right back to my previous statement about the failure of the education system in the U.S. to properly educate its participants - which is actually the goal of that so-called education system.

Any attempt at humor regarding our mutual situation is just an effort to conceal the real terror we all feel because no one seems to be able to fix it......

        And the reason I end with "Nuf Said" is so that even those without a MINIMUM level of understanding or intelligence will be able to get the message...... since there are more of them than there are of us who have the ability to understand and communicate using proper grammar and spelling - or so grandma says..... and she is a college grad - as if that really makes any difference except to her!!!!!! And she cannot even spell opinion correctly!!!!! You would at least think she would proofread her post and try to get my alias spelled correctly???

    Comment: Just an overall comment on what I have been reading in comments over the last several months -

    One of the demographics Clinton seems to leading is the uneducated - those who do not have any college or higher education. That seems to also be reflected in the total lack of correct spelling and grammar in a large majority of the comments that contain support for Hillary. If you are not able to properly construct a written sentence or spell the words in your thoughts correctly - what does that say about your ability to construct logical statements based on the facts and truths?? Not a whole lot - a lot more negative than positive.....

    Doesn't the fact that those of you who are in that category are unable to communicate on a VERY rudimentary and simple(ton) level embarass the hell out of you?? Or are you so ignorant that you are not aware that you are unable to construct a sentence with proper grammar, punctuation and spelling??

    But then, of course, you are the perfect examples of the successful dumbing down of the education system in this country and you are EXACTLY the product the U.S. government has tried to create through that dumbing down. And then everyone worries about why the United States is not able to compete on a global scale with the rest of the world - clearly with good reason for such worries!!!!

    If you are not able to communicate on even a rudimentary level you should keep your opinions to yourself - while you are certainly entitled to have whatever opinions you might have (that is the basic principle behind religious and other tolerances that the United States was founded upon!!) if those opinions are not based on reason, facts and truths then your opinions only have relevance between your own ears - which is where they should stay!!!!

    Now I know many of you are thinking that I should keep MY opinions to myself - but you are forgetting that (as mentioned above) that you need to tolerate MY opinions with exactly the same amount of tolerance that you expect others to use in tolerating YOUR opinions. I have said you are entitled to your opinions - but if you cannot support your opinions with logical reasoning, facts and truths you should reassess your opinions and ascertain if the facts and truths support your opinions - or if your opinions are based more on stupidity, ignorance and emotions than upon reason, facts and truths....

    A vote that is based on stupidity and/or ignorance and/or emotions is a vote that should NOT be cast!!!!! That is pretty much what got us into this situation in the first place!!!!!!

    Nuf said!!!!!!

      Comment: to one man´s opinion:

      It´s sad but true. I´ve said it before and I´ll say it again. A President Obama should make it top priority to
      help these obvious failures from the No- Child- Left -Behind program. We need better education for all, so
      we can at least communicate intelligently with one another, understanding prose and making yourself understood, learning critical thinking AND values!

      Comment: Dear one man, before finding fault with others, check out the obvious mistake in your second paragraph. I am also a college graduate and have been very displeased with the media for claiming that Obama is attracting the more hoghly educated. Point of fact, I have never seen one pollster questioning voters in my town. It seems they find it easier to talk to voters in the cities. I believe that rather weights the results since in my state the better educated move to the suburbs as soon as possible.

      Comment: You are doing exactly what you say you abhor and yet it's okay for you because your educated??? Get a grip my friend... You are voting for Obama because of stupidity, ignorance, and emotion... He doesn't have any kind of experience to show for which qualifies him to be Commander in chief... And as we are seeing lately he doesn't have the judgment or spine either.

      Quit projecting your problems on other people and start doing some research. Your candidate is just a bag of wind that has the potential to be a good Commander in Chief after having some experience.

      Your ignorance offends me and just because your ignorance is worded grammatically correct doesn't change the fact that it's still hateful ignorance. When you can come up with something with substance please post again I would love to have a debate about it. Until then, don???t insult others because of your own insecurities!

      Comment: I have ascertained that you do not have a rudimentary understanding of the usage rules governing the use of exclamation points. Using five or more at the end of a sentence doesn't make your point more valid, it just confirms that you are a sanctimonious, bombastic individual. I hope Hillary makes it to the White House and plenty of other people from all walks of life, circumstances, and education levels agree with me.

      Comment: Mr. Opinion. Maybe you should spend a little more time reading than criticizing the people on this blog for not being able to articulate well enough for you to understand. If you did, you would see that Obama has lost his edge in college educated whites (this started happening right before the Ohio primary) and Clinton is nowleading that demographic.

    Comment: As for the historical significance of Obama's speech, let history be the judge of it.

    The day after, he made a statement that contradicted his entire message. He said his grandmother was like the "typical white person." Now in his speech he described his grandmother as "a woman who once confessed her fear of black men who passed by her on the street, and who on more than one occasion has uttered racial or ethnic stereotypes that made me cringe." Mr. Obama, who is stereotyping who? I'm truly flabbergasted that you think the "typical white person" is like that. Clearly, when you step off your podium and leave your scripted words behind, your true beliefs fumble forward.

    The best speech I've ever heard on race is by Rev. Al Sharpton at the 2004 Democratic National Convention. Sharpton called 9/11 a "despicable act" and sang of "America, the Beautiful." It was an incredible, electrifying speech. Contrast that to Wright's words like "God Damn America" and "America deserved 9/11."

The Time has come for OBAMA to GET OUT OF THE RACE, we need someone whom will take responsibility for his action and stop as usual blaming everyone else or riding a coat tail on a question. YOU???VE BEEN EXPOSED.

      He speech was nothing MORE than a SHOT TO BAMBOOZLE AMERICA , Read his BOOKS, especially DREAMS OF MY FATHER. He talks and writes so much about being Black and his Father, but wasn't his Black father THE ONE whom left him and his white Mothers family who gave HIM THE HOPE and EDUCATION. Obama uses anyone to get to the TOP he will go to any heights, any means no matter whom it hurts , as long as Obama comes out on top. To throw you GRAND MOTHER whom gave you the GREAT LIFE you have under a FAST MOVING BUS alone should show America that your SELF CENTER LOW LIFE and ONLY HAVE BROUGHT THE GREAT RACIAL DIVIDE TO AMERICA. Now STEP DOWN

She might have a kind heart, but she and Bill feel they are the only ones who can reign and will do anything they can to try to be in power again. If they somehow succeed in pulling off the nomination, this Democrat who has only voted once for a Republican, will do so again. I do not want to see another Bill and Hillary show.

    Comment: At least Hillary has a plan and understands the economy. Maybe Barack can write a speech about it, since he doesn't seem to have many plans. He talks about change, but doesn't give specifics, and the last two or three speeches he has given do not have his change slogan on the podium. Obviously his campaign has realized that change probably can't be made without any plans.

    At least Hillary has a plan and a strong understanding of economics. I was actually suprised that this article was not a complete slam of Hillary, which is unusual for Newsweek, although the headline is still negative as usual.

  • Posted By: Grandma B @ 03/21/2008 1:03:15 PM

    Comment: Ok! Don't know what is embarrassment for all? People are responsible for their own actions. To say that Hillary is using the Clinton name somehow to gain an advantage is bogus. It is her name. To say that the corporations are goiing to get paid for their services is what usually happens. Her husband was not faithful to her, as a woman,that gets a "so what is new". It has nothing to do with the office she is running for. As a matter of fact, I think you will fine that most people would respect the fact that she has been able to continue a marriage under those circumstances and they have a very successful daughter to show for it.

    I happen to think that not giving respect for the flag of the country for which you are running for president is much more serious. Subjecting your family to 20+ years of ranting against the white race is also very telling. Since he claims to want to be a uniter.

    The economy is on the brink. Our position in the world is iffy. This election needs someone to take the reigns who can deal with these things. Not someone whose claim to fame is that he gives a good speech.

    Comment: Hillary will use "Hail Mary" often even as president if she ever gets to become one.

    Hillary is not to be trusted as a dependable leader, a predictable leader, a leader with good judgement, etc.

    She is as erratic as Waste Bush. No good plan. No good judgement. No good executive talent. She is simply a disaster after disaster. Sounds familiar?? We just had one such guy in WH. Now do we want another such gal in WH??

    "Hail Mary" Hillary. I wouldn't trust the country to such a reckless person.

      Comment: good judgement does not come from smoking pot while young, getting the indorcement of the underground weathermen to be elected to the state senate. good judgement does not come from joining a church that spews hate rather then building a better world of peace, culture and compassion. This is what a elected official should be doing for all people.

    Comment: I kind of like the "Hail Mary" metaphor being a Vikings fan. It's hard to forget the 1975 loss to the Cowboys based on that winning touchdown, which is where the phrase "Hail Mary Pass" comes from. With only 24 seconds remaining, the Cowboys pulled it off. I can see Hillary doing that. With her wins in Ohio, Texas and RI, she proved everyone, every pundit, wrong. She did it once, she can do it again. She'll do it down to the wire.

    You must admit. Bill can not blame the intern for his behavior (he said he did it because he can). Because he is the older of the two, he initiated, he's married, and he's was the president (had greater responsibility).

    Comment: at some point in time we need to acknowlege that there are deep seated fundamental economic problems underlying the current crisis. These include deficits in current account and budget, negative savings rate and vast non productive expenses. The current liquidity crisis is just laid on top of these fundamentals. It wouldn't be as bad if not for the flawed foundation of our economy. How can we expect to continue a viable economy with over 15 percent of GDP going into a health care black hole? Just juicing the economy with doses of cash and credit will only forstall and magnify the eventual outcome unless someone addresses the fundamentals which requires delivering bad news to the american people (voters). I don't expect to see this happening soon.

    Comment: Mr.Hirch: if you can be anymore slanted in your writing, I'm sure you would be, but you set your bar on the floor ,so you are bottomed out. As for the Florida & Michigan primary votes, the delegates do not count, but why, as an American, do you presume to tell other Americans their votes don't count ...there is nothing more
    precious in this, the greatest of democracies, than individual votes. The popular votes absolutely should count, even if the delegate allocations do not count.."my vote is more important than your vote becauseI
    am not from Florida (or Michigan) " ...you have to be kidding, because if you are not, over time, who will be left to speak up for your popular vote once you allow the beginnings of "state-al' prejudice (as important as racial or gender prejudices) ...If you advocate the erosion of the most valuabnle of rights for some Americans, just
    sit tight, because sooner or later , you can count on your rights being eroded.
    Anoth problem I have with people like you: why the anger over Mr.bama being better-vetted ? You just
    don't want to even visit the possibility that the talk and the walk may not match. I like Mr. Obama, but
    as I learn more about him, I have come to the considered decision that I cannot in good conscience vote for him. Importantly, if folks in Florida and Michigan are told that not only do their delegates not count, but
    neither does their personally cast vote count, many will simply not participate in the general election.
    Guess what, Obama could not carry those states in the primaries ... so there is no way whatsoever that
    he can carry the general election. what do you think the results of the general election results
    will be without Florida and Michigan in the Democratic camp ? Worth mentioning too is that within his own party, in the primaries Mr.Obama could not carry California, New York, Ohio, New Jersey, Texas..and
    Pennsylvania..add in the lack of Democratic voter participation in Florida and Michigan, and take a wild
    guess as to the results of the general election. "Writers" of your ilk love to bash HRC, but get oh so
    angry, defensive and hostile when your candidate gets held to the same vetting standards .. one
    thing I have become aware of is that "intolerence" becomes the opperative word when it comes to vetting Mr.Obama..

    Comment: Grandma... Well, I hate to contradict a grandma (I love mine) but name dropping King's name means nothing in cyberspace.

    Rezko, Wright... Both are indirect inference. Since inference is indirect, indirect inference is a double indirect. But is that all you Clintonites have on Obama.

    Here's is what makes Clinton looks bad. Most of which is direct.
    Vowing to continue to take money from CORPORATION LOBBYIST
    Selling secrets to China; and saying that she will not be tough on China (Clinton will sell something to China again)
    Bill Clinton exposing himself to secretaries and interns (young and old) in search of a gullible one
    Bill Clinton's resent racism, Hillary's complacency on such things
    Clinton lies about her contribution on SCHIP (she wrote nothing, but help get support for it)
    Claims to be vetted, but will not release records (how is she vetted when living in the White House "bubble")
    Clinton wants the campaign to be dirty-er
    Clinton flip flops on NAFTA
    Clinton campaign is in debt, how can she handle the country finances when she fails with her campaign finances. It is not sufficient to just blame her staff, where is the leadership.
    She has only been a side-kick on important issues. She has never succeeded as a leader (Clinton health care failed).

    Clinton's character has been very weak.

      Comment: Obama's top campaign contributors are executives from Exelon, the largest nuclear power company in the country. Obama has tried to pass watered down legislation to regulate RADIOACTIVE leaks. Clinton, in contrast, has one of the best environmental records in the Senate, has supported about 400 environmental bills. Bill Clinton, mind you, has one of the best environmental records of any former president. Top environmentalists are endorsing Clinton, not Obama. Robert Kennedy, Jr., an environmental lawyer for the NRDC and author of Crimes Against Nature and, yes, a member of the Kennedy family, endorses Clinton.

      Comment: since when is an Americans right to a vote a "dirty-over?" Lobbyists are important, it is any undo
      considerations for lobbyists that are wrong. Obama appears to be unsofisticated enough as to not realize that all this "change" can only come about within the political system .. you don't discount lobbyists, you control them, that way you have a network for day-to-day business, and a pathway to change. Mr.Obama
      talks now, if he were to get to the white house, he would find that now that he wants to turn the talk into the walk...he has no one to walk with..he would be so far out of the political loop that in order to
      overcome rampant inertia he would have to literally court the lobbyista. (He cannot get to the white
      house because he absolutely cannot win the general election. Thanks for vetting Bill Clinton, Hillary
      Clinton is the candidate, if you can grasp that, then just comfort yourself in thinking of Bill as "an old uncle" who sometimes misspeaks, sometimes mis-steps.

Now in white Pennsylvania she and the PA governor are anti-black to appeal to the white vote. She was for NAFTA, now she is against it. She voted for the war, now she is against it. She is not a racist, she is just a spineless opportunist who will pretend to be for or against anything, so long as it gets her a couple of votes.

    Comment: Bill Richardson on the ticket will not improve Obama's chances. Looks like Liberman is vying for the VP on the other ticket. Obama's number are dropping by the minute with all the help he is getting from he media. Lying to the public doesn't make friends. Hanging around the like's of Wright for 20+ years doesn't either. A White House dinner doesn't fit in the same catagory. Dr. King is turning in his grave, I'm sure. Too bad Corretta isn't alive to give her view of the situation. Where are those true leaders of the black community? The silence is deafening.

      Comment: The truth is always hard to hear. African Americans, like myself, are secretly horrified that all of the stuff has come out about Obama. I'm in NC and was thrilled to when he won SC and his debate speech but he's different now. We never really knew him. That was the danger all along. The media is at fault because they didnt want to find anything on him. Now they cant comes to terms that like a lot of us, we were dooped. The media hates that b/c then they have to face the fact that they did do their homework on Obama. Politics 101 is that anything remotely damaging in your past (Pastor) get rid out it. Obama didnt have the judgment to do so. And if he couldnt do that the gets what he deserves. The worst "gotcha" is when you get yourself.

        Now, it´s absolutely clear: YOU ARE AN IMPOSTOR! You´re neither black nor are you a writer nor can you express yourself intelligibly. Stop wasting your time and ours, go get yourself an education! You´re making yourself a laughing stock!

    Comment: Governor Richardson and you apparently are what Mexican people call Vendidos. A Mexican sell out because you cannot stand that a woman can actually be more capable than a White or Mexican male.
    We as hispanics know very well what a mexican Vendido is.

      Comment: Women have as much or more capabilities than men - just not this woman. No one yet has come up with her great qualifications other than she is married to former President Clinton.

    Comment: you and Gov. Richardson are considered Mexican vendidos-- It means you cannot stand the fact that maybe a woman is more intelligent than men who have throughout the centuries been AFRAID OF WOMEN BEING MORE CAPABLE
