Oral Exam

Hillary Rodham Clinton is simply the BEST, remarkable and can unite people from all sides. Her speech last night was remarkable and had me in tears at one point - very moving and yes I believe she got the response she wanted from America - that she is truly respected and loved, and the DNC should have been hers instead Obama. Yes her revenge was sublte but none the less, her 18 million supporters can see she IS Presidential material and ready & able to lead this country and the world. Unlike Obama. She in truly an inspiration to women everywhere and her speech was so powerful and moving that I don't believe Obama could top it if he tried. America can relate to her, we cannot relate to Obama. It's sad but so true - Obama needs her to win and w/out her he will fizzle into the background. Hillary showed us last night that she is not backing down or quitting - this was her campaign speech for 2012 and this is not the last we have seen of Hillary Rodham Clinton. Hillary is a fighter and I hope all of America will get behind her and support her in the next Presidential election. Hillary is an intelligent, strong woman who can succeed at the job as President of this great country, a qualified woman and it's been too long to wait for a woman to be President - men have ruled for far too long and yet here we are again in 2008 voting for a man. Hillary spoke of women being treated "unequal" to men and it's HIGH time women get the RESPECT we deserve - b/c we are not going back to the "kitchens" of America, we are here to stay. So women, use your voice and speak out, it's your God given right. And God bless Hillary Rodham Clinton.

They just showed a new poll and I hope this is true.
Obama-52%
McCain-38%

I sure hope people like Michelle because Obama said she and his grandmother were 3 of the three people he admired most and would heavily rely on for advice if elected POTUS. I think the voters need to meet grandma too.

Barf!!! I can't stand the thought of having to look at Michelle Obama for the next four years. She always looks like she should have a thought balloon over her head that says "whatchu talking bout Willis?"

She's a fraud, too little too late, we know her real feelings about this 'mean country' that sent her to Princeton and Harvard. Her background screams of white hatred and she and he are too scary to ever be anywhere near a position representing our country. If the people of the state of Illinois have any sense, they'll vote him out of office.

"cares about his country under torture"
I would like to remind everyone that McCain was not tortured according to the U.S. and John McCain's definitions of torture. Torture is illegal in this country, what happened to McCain is not illegal in this country, sadly.

Oh my goodness....Michelle is a BLACK angry militant...OBAMA is a DRUG USING CELEBRITY....
..And don't act like half of you haven't touched a drug in your lives, Obama is a real person who has lived a real life, not a saint. Bill Clinton smoked this...had sexual relations....Bush loves Oil...Mccain is stupid and old....

Get with the real issues people, honestly. YOU. MAKE. ME. SICK. Gain some real knowledge on real subjects and then leave comment!

Everything she said was she said before. I resent her always talking about their financial struggles which is BS. Obama's grandmom was the VP of a bank, and his mother had a Ph.D. Anyhow, my favorite part is the shock on her face when the crowd erupted at the mention of Hillary Clinton.

Like I said, we really need to talk about race. Just to see some of the comments and the jokes about the black race, it sad. Obama won't become the POTUS, and we can thank the Hillary supporters for 4 more years instead of 4 more months. We will have our say after 4 more years. We will remember how the Hillary supporters treated us. They will try and tell us to unify the party, but that won't happen and we will have 16 more years of the Republican rule. God help us all.

Hillary was absolutely spectacular in her whole- hearted endorsement of Obama. Once again she has proved to be a gracious and selfless class act!

The obamas plays the race card. This time it is michele. Well you know what they say birds of a feather flocks together. The clinton supporter don't have talk about racism. The obamas are doing that for them. See: http://www.swamppolitics.com/news/politics/blog/2008/08/michelle_obama_pleads_for_illi.html

Literally what she said is that people is not going to vote for obama because he is black. Would somebody please tell the obamas that we see them and know that they are black?

What is it that nobody says anything about how smart is Obama as opposed to McCain's intellectual shallowness? The media points out experience how about graduating 894 out of 895 in the Academy. Obama is 10 times smarter than McCain.

The bottom line is: after all the speeches, fanfair and balloons are gone, you're still left with a guy with an empty CV. If he was looking for a job as a used car salesman he'd be the man for the job. But leader of the free world and commander-in-chief, I think NOT. We Democrats better re-think this!

What a disaster. The Democrats thought they could ride the wave of Obamania into the White House. You thought you could link McCain to Bush. Think again. Now you see the problems with your candidate, but it is too late. And the Republicans have not had their convention yet. And the real and sustained attacks have not started yet. And McCain has not had a chance to knock him silly at the debates and unmask him. Cubs win the World Series in October. McCain the White House in November. Off to Telluride in December. Can't wait.

BEFORE choosing Biden for the VP position, Obama was all over the fact that McCain was too old, too senile and FORGETFUL to be even considered for the Presidency....Now, he's one upped McCain, he's got an OLD, FORGETFUL, and FULL OF HOT AIR....McCain looks like a super genius compared to these idiots...they look a lot like DUMB and DUMBER....No Obama

Obama is far from perfect. He's no saviour, just a politician, albeit one with great oratory skills, true compassion and the talent to inspire -- something this country needs greatly. We can vote in McCain, and reward 8 years of failure. Yes, and maybe we should, this country might need to bottom out before we realize counting on 20th century ideas and a John Wayne attitude to keep our place in the 21st century world is a road wrought with danger and, ultimately, failure. We get the leaders we deserve. I'd like to think that we'd get the obviously more thoughtful and forward thinking one as opposed to the one who represents pig headedness as a virtue. How anyone can look at McCain, can look at the Republican party and say that's what we need more of -- well, they're not Americans I care to know, or even call Americans. The GOP has damaged this country in ways most folks don't know. We should pay attention to how the world sees us, and not because they're better than us, but because as the world goes, so go we. If we keep playing cowboy, especially now that our cavalry has been decimated by the incompetence of truly bad human beings, we will lose... Obama 08. It's a vote for tomorrow. McCain is a vote for yesterday. And yesterday is dead.

Many Obama supporters are still trashing Hillary supporters rather than reaching out to them. The type of arrogant, angry., judgemental, dismissive, insulting, and oversimplified attacks on this blog against Hillary supporters are odious, and go against core democratic principles. If Obama wants to win in November, he and his supporters NEED to understand, reach out, and convince skeptical Hillary supporters that they are important.
