The Washington Post's David Broder:...It's Particularly A Moment Where John McCain Can Claim To Have Been Prescient.... NBC's DAVID GREGORY: David Broder, is this a 3 a.m. moment for foreign policy for these candidates? WASHINGTON POST's DAVID BRODER: It is and it's particularly a moment where John McCain can claim to have been prescient. Because in his basic foreign policy speech two months ago and in an interview that I did with him last week, he draws a very sharp line when it comes to Russia. He says these people are being aggressive and imperialist. There is no confusion, in his mind, about the character of the Putin-Medvedev government and he is prepared, I think, to make the case that this is a demonstration of exactly what he has been arguing for.

NOBAMA!!!

Barack Obama is a nobody in every way compared to former President Bill Clinton. I think that former President Bill Clinton has every right to be unhappy with the Obama campaign and the press for unjustly labeling him as a racist during the primary campaign. That was just one of many of Obama's underhanded campaign tactics during the primary. No one could be any further from being a racist than Bill Clinton. Barack Obama and especially his wife, Michele, are ten times more racist than Bill Clinton could ever be. Obama's supporters called everyone on the Internet racist if they posted anything about Obama not being qualified to be president. I will predict if Obama is lucky enough to win one term as president, he will not be elected to a second term. I sincerely hope Barack Obama will fail in his quest for power and not win the presidency of the USA.

Even though Hillary Clinton has asked her supporters to vote for Obama, I will not vote for Obama. I will vote against Obama by voting for John McCain because I trust John McCain, and I definitely do not trust Obama. In my opinion, Barack Obama needs the Clintons more than they need him. Barack Obama needs to work a while longer in the U.S. Senate to prove he has done anything worthy of being elected president of the USA. Of course, Obama has an ego so huge he thinks he is already president of the USA. Giving a few speeches to big crowds with the media fawning over him does not make Obama a leader.

People that are blaming Obama for starting the playing of the race card, are either naive or blind. McCain began playing the race card covertly and subtexually in the release of the infamous Paris Hilton video. It was full of racial undertones. Face the truth people.

Howard, I resent what you wrote about Bll Clinton. Mentioning Machievelli in the same sentence with Bill clinton is an insult and shows a great deal of ignorance and lack of appreciation for Bill's numerous accomplishments. Howared, why don't you compare Obama and Bush to Bill Clinton, you will see that you and the media has been doing a great disservice to the nation with your lies. Obama has an obligation to contnue the Clinton legacy by including Hillary in the ticket, anything short of that many dems will stay home. If Obama can flip of capital punishment, abortion, campaign finance, oil drilling, warrantless domestic spying and many more, he can flip on his so called change and include hillary to the ticket to guaratee a win in november. the nation is still divided and will go for mccain for his experience and for being a white.

After reading this article, I still don't see why they HAVE to make peace. Hillary LOST. Barack WON. It's as simple as that. I'm tired of hearing about hurt feelings, and that the Obama's have to cater to all the Clinton's needs and demands. Obama WON THE NOMINATION. Hillary LOST. Bill WAS NOT A CANDIDATE. He was the SPOUSE of a candidate. Looking at the current polls and mock electoral votes, Obama does not need Bill traveling around the country for him making contriversy. I think the media sometimes would love for that to happen. I personally feel that there is no reason to still be talking about the Clintons. It's time to move on. We're all grown-ups here.

Jealousy is a hard pill to swollow, Remeber the first family in the Bible?... Cane Killed Abel out of JEALOUSY. .....This Brilliant Obama out smarted many..... and the Clintons are suppose to be the best in the game....and they got spanked .....and they can't take it. ----- So Bill Clinton is acting like a spoiled little brat who got his toy taken away.

Obama had Bill Clinton smeared as a racist during the campaign and has treated both Bill and Hillary with contempty since he won the nomination. Obama needs Bill....but Bill doesn't need Obama. Anyone who thinks Bill and Hillary will be voting for Obama this Nov is crazy. Neither would do that to the country.

Response to loriw ( Posted By: loriw @ 08/10/2008 01:43:18 a.m.below) and others that intensely dislike Bill Clinton. There is one thing that can be said about him. He definitely had many accomplishments and our country was in great shape after he left after 2 terms of presidency.

Barrack is NOT the uniter he wants us to believe that he is. Barrack holds a grudge, he can't even make nice with Bill Clinton. Such arrogance is dangerous in a leader, and I hope he learns a bit of humility soon.

Bill Clinton doesn't need Obama!

I used to have great deal of respect for the Clintons, they lost me for good. He did it to himself he has nobody
else to blame. Thank you
