    Clinton committed a felony during her 2000 campaign for senator by helping to organize a celebrity concert that included Cher and others that raised over $1,000,000. This is illegal. There are taped conversations of her discussing this effort. It's on YouTube and other places. Check it out. She isn't fit to be president of the United States. She's also a Neo Conservative and support the New World Order.

    It's one thing for Brack to weave his own vision of audacious hope and spoon feed it to his flock. It's quite another to point a finger at another candidate and say she's disingenuous. She at least hasn't referred to him as a "friend" like he recently referred to her for quite some time. No, she knows the definition of honesty and it's not Barack.

    How can Obama say things like this about the Clinton's if it werer not from the Clinton's putting his silly ass up he would be nothing but an unknown voice! This is from a Black American!!! How stupid! The man should know je is not ready for President and could have run as vice then gotten in the seat but nope his head is to far in the sky!

    Hillary's problem (see her high unfavorable ratings) is that she is untrustworthy and callous. As we've seen over theyears, the Clintons are not afraid to lie when it serves them. Hillary, unlike her husband, is unable to connect with people. She has not personality and, in general, comes off as someone he is entitled to be president merely because she spent eight years in the White House and has the necessary name recognition and fundraising apparatus.

    Obama, on the other hand, is riding an ever-weakening wave. The big break that allowed him to become a candidate was when he gave such a rousing speech at the Democratric convention. Because the Dems have no fire, no one who can really capture the public's imagination, Obama came off looking like a young JFK. But, as with all shooting stars, they flame out pretry quickly. Obama is young and has very little experience. He is running to lose. By that, I mean he is running to build name reccognation and fundraising abilities for future elections. He is also running to serve in a possible Clinton II administration, which is why he is so restrained in his criticism of her.

      I think too many people went to Catholic school here. Politicans lie. They make deals they know will hurt some but help many. They lie by not telling all the truth. Name ONE politican that has NEVER lied, never twisted the truth to his benefit. These are careers which are at stake for these folks. They do what they need to do to stay in office. Is it right? No. Is it morally repugnant? Most of the time. We need to stop focusing on one person that appears to be lying and give rise to the reality of the dog pack.

      Tell me..........who is there left that we can trust to run this country in the way our founding fathers intended? No one......and until we bring God back into the "picture", things will only get worse. Come, Lord Jesus, Come.

    If Hillary wants to Win the general election, she should completely disregard and ignore the TV pundits beginning with Fineman, Mathews, Russert and all the other Newspaper commentator on why she ???would lose??? the south. She should not raise one eyebrow for the South. She shout not spend one single penny to win hearts from the South. She should completely forget about the South.. Those people won???t ever change. They are so extremists in their political views that ANYBODY that is not a R, is a liar and will burn in hell anyway. What she SHOULD do is campaign heavily in all north eastern and western states, win all the extra states Gore and Kerry won PLUS one more. Ohio. That???s it. She will be the next president of the United States.
    My advice to Hillary.. Target OHIO and forget about Florida. Floridians are a crazy bunch anyway. They can???t even come to terms with their own state problems, and I am a Floridian.

    A few days ago, Brack called Hillary "a friend". Now, he says she's disingenuous. Nice friend and not a very honest one either - since he's trouble with that definition, too.

  • Posted By: AnyoneButObama @ 11/05/2007 7:11:40 AM

    He has two years experience as a Senator. What experiece has he gained in two years to qualify him to be leader of the free world? In office, he'll be mauled by disingenuous leaders all over the world. Honesty and politics are not necessarily synonymous.

      Well Experience hasn't been working all that well for our current administration. They have experienced us into a nightmare politically, internaionally, and morally. Please too much is given emphasis is given to experience in the political world nowadays.

      • Posted By: AnyoneButObama @ 11/05/2007 3:03:27 PM

        But that is the problem. GW had been governor of Texas - a Bush family dynasty state. Go figure - When GW hit office he had little more experience than Obama - riding Bush family name/momentum and the republican party commitment to put ANYONE in office - The result is an idiot that can't speak extemporaneously - and is the worst President for foreign relations in 100 years. Obama has even less experience. He had an agenda going into office to finish what his Dad didn't - and we and our children will live the results. I want someone with political experience - someone who knows he's going to get screwed but knows how to screw even better - the mind of a strategist - not a smurf. Macheivellian politics are rife in the world. To call names at this point in the game is pretty weak posturing. The problem is Obama is not the guy. Maybe Billary isn't either - but what's left that is electable?

    I am an African who is committed to the Support Hillary Clinton for President Campaign, therefore I cannot agree with the personal views of Senator Barack Obama on Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton.

    Barack Obama knows he is losing ground to Hillary Clinton and he is getting nervous and now using his wits to discredit her. He is afraid of losing to Clinton since his racial appeals to African-Americans have not impressed them so far, because they would rather vote for Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton than vote for an African-American man who cannot convince the electorate on relevant issues of governance and has chosen to be petty in his unreasonable remarks on the personality of Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton.

      Mr Chima, how now? U talk say u wan vote for Hillary, u sure say na d tin wey you wan do be that?

      Dude, check out Obama's platform and his Pro-African policies. He's the only one talking about HIV/AIDS in Africa, the only one talking about extending serious AID to Africa, WAKE UP and smell the roses man, Hillary does Africa no favors. Look at the Way Bill Clinton (and I love him) ignored Rwanda during the genocide. Wake up!

      Obama 08!

    Hillary is being attacked by the republicans all the time. You just need watch one of their debates to see it.. Instead of them describing in details what they will do as presidents, they spend their entire debate attacking her. Like if she has been the president of this country. I will blame the journalists or debate mediator for not pursuing or pushing the candidates to explain to the American people what their stands are on important issues that affects us all. So, the last thing I need or want is to see one of our own lashing and feeding into the attacks. Leave that to the republicans and to our so called- liberal media journalists or news anchor to do, we should not do it. It doesn???t matter who is leading or losing.. This negativity can come to bite us all in the general election. I like Obama, and I support him, but he most Stop this.

    • Posted By: rapcetera @ 11/05/2007 2:48:19 PM

      Stop What? He's NOT attacking her, certainly not the way John Edwards is. He's simply pointing out policy differences. The People of Iowa and New Hampshire know this, so why can;t you get it?

    "We're running for leader of the free world."
    Umm, perhaps you should take a step back Barack Obama. You're running for PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES! This is not going to win you any popularity contests with any of the countries the US deals with.
    And also, weren't you supposed to be trying to keep this election *mudslinging-free"? Is this how you will keep your campaign promises?

    • Posted By: Rauol Duke @ 11/05/2007 2:36:46 PM

      What is Mud Slinging? Speakig Truth to Power? So are you on Hillary's payroll?

  • Posted By: Lawrence Walker @ 11/05/2007 2:27:40 PM

    I like the way Obama speaks. I do believe he is the more direct and the biggest risk taker of the most popular candidates. I most like to listen to John Edwards, who like Obama, is rather direct and not so calculating as Clinton. Yet Clinton may show that calculated fence-sitting, no matter how resolute she seems in appearance, is the way to win.

  • Posted By: valesj @ 11/05/2007 2:27:37 PM

    Folks, criticizing your opponent is a natural thing to do in politics. You can't win an election if you praise your rivals, so don't take it so personal. I'm sure they all actually like each other, it's like someone once said a long time ago, nothing personal, just business.

    The real true question is can either one of them win in the general election, I don't think it's a coincidence that the last two democrats that have won the white house have been southern white men. Bill Clinton and Jimmy Carter. One can only imagine the attacks on both Clinton and Obama form the republicans. On the one hand we have the whole Monica Lewinsky affair coming back up and on the other hand we have a peron who's name sounds to close to Osama bin laden. So think real carefully folks about who you vote for in the primaries because they may not cut it in the general election.

  • Posted By: rasmuss1 @ 11/05/2007 2:24:57 PM

    Since Sen. Obama employed the term "disingenuous", it should be up to him to define the term as he intended to apply it.. It would not be up to Hilary Clinton to define what he meant to say! If he means to say that she is dishonest, he should have the intestinal fortitude to say so. If he really intends to speak in plain terms, he should say what he means!!

  • Posted By: coach77 @ 11/05/2007 1:43:41 PM

    Why dont everyone just vote dont worry about Hillary she wont win so why waste time on endless talk and banter. This country is not ready for a woman to be president so it won't happen anytime soon.

    • Posted By: pab0228 @ 11/05/2007 2:21:44 PM

      Hate to totally disagree with your statement but I'm part of this country and I am MORE than ready for a woman president.

  • Posted By: Liberal29 @ 11/05/2007 1:23:14 PM

    Prove it, Senator. Prove any part of the mud you've just slung at Hillary Clinton has a word of truth to it. I'm tired of hearing this kind of accusation pointed at Bill and Hillary without a shred of real proof. I say it is you, sir, who is being dishonest. You can't come up with a straight answer to questions about the specifics of your plans, but you call Clinton a waffler? What nerve. I submit, sir, that you are not ready for prime time. You are no leader and may even be a coward.

    • Posted By: Rauol Duke @ 11/05/2007 2:21:12 PM

      To Liberal29:

      Prove you are a liberal first, you are nothing more then a Hillary shills. IF you were a liberal you would not be support such a Corporate Candidate. The Clintons treat the liberal like Bush treats the Christian conservatives; give us nothing but lip service.

    If you are truly a Buddhist who is comfortable in your religion, then I ask you this. Why must you an anyone else who has a problem with Christianity always try to discredit it? Why don't you just live your life in your faith, and the way you chose? No one has put a gun to your head and has asked you to chose a different faith. Just remember this though once you were baptised Catholic you will always be Catholic.
