Obama's Creative Clippings

Clearly the term "universal" is being overused, misused, and misunderstood. The only truly universal coverage would a plan in which everyone was covered, without even signing up. If signup is required, it is not universal, because some people would refuse to sign up, regardless of fines and penalties, and those people would not be covered. Also, all laws must be constitutional, and wouldn't a mandate violate citizens' right to privacy? The question is not only, which plan covers the most people and keeps the cost lowest, but which plan we have the political power to enact. Clinton has not given a clear exlanation of what has changed since she tried to force universal coverage on American in the early 90s. What are the reasons she failed then, and what has changed and how will she do things differently to ensure a different result? That is what we need to know! She seems bent on keeping it a semantic argument over mandates.

As an African American, I'm very proud of Obama's accomplishments so far - He is very focussed on the issues that confronts us as a nation and he is addressing them. Let's listen to what he is saying and not try to interup what we think he means. Look at record and not his color and give him a chance to help get us our of this rut that President Bush has gotten us in. We are at war, we are losing our homes, we can't afford insurance coverage for ourselves and our children and our futures are at stake. Let's wake up and pay attention to what's happening. The past 7 years have been very difficult for a lot of people. We need a good change.

They were also chanting back to the skeptics "Yes we can!". There was nothing nothing "Mumbo Jumbo" about it.. I found the Victory speech to be Very insperational. For the first time in a long time, I have never been more proud to be a South Carolinian. The vote for Obama went all across demographics, even if the vote was 50% black of the SC Democratic Party. The white vote turn out for Obama turned out to be a huge surprise.

In response to jlanz., the south carolina audience was chanting "Race doesn't matter" not some "mumbo jumbo". Also, why should Black pastors be ashamed of saying that Barack is Black? He is in fact, a Black man. And as a Black person, I am very proud that an intelligent, educated(not to mention, handsome) Black man is doing something that most people thought was impossible: Be the leading Democratic candidate. That's not a racial comment, its just being proud of his accomplishments thus far. Trying to make the fact that he is Black a negative thing is racist. But you are right about one thing, we do need to focus more on our problems as Americans.

I hope you give their dual presidential run the same negative scrutiny

What do you have to say about Hilary and Bill and their lies?

Comment: I am struck by how often Bill Clinton is quoted during Hilary's run for the President of the United States. Are they running as a team? If so, let them be candid about that; however, we've had that show in the White House already haven't we? I mean no disrespect, buit I think it is time for the country to move beyond the Clinton Age and start a new chapter in American history.

Obama's staff need to think about what they release to the press. "Look before you leap."

I think it was great to see the "truth" in action. Bill Clinton "asleep" at the MLK Celebration, while King's son preached! The comment "Bill Clinton even lies in his sleep" is Profound! Let us not foget, Bill Clinton deceived, lied too and betrayed ALL Americans as president. I voted for him too, I am African-American too, but let us not forget, the true character of the man, especially since Bill continues to pretend to be Black!

Senator Obama is the most straightforward and informative democratic Presidential candidate. Hillary Clinton's husband turn as many women off as are turned on. He needs to get a reality check and get quiet.
I do not want to see anymore Bill/Hillary drama in the White House. At this point I am very nice. However, she and her husband are the slum lords who made the White House into a "slum" in the city of Washington, D. C.

Was Obama in the state legislature when he opposed the war in Iraq as he says "from the beginning"? . .

Where did he oppose the war from the beginning? Was this when he was a state legislature where he was not privy to all information Congress received?

reading these posts maybe this countryis in worse shape than i thought ,such ignorance nad intolerance of others who might be different,wake up people or get 4to8 more years of this,do your research and find a candidate you like hopefully whos name isnt clinton or bush ive had enough have you?

What is it about him that is objectionable besides being a uppity black man that you don't like (speaking to the newsweek writers). I am so sick of heaing about him being a muslim trying to pass for christian. You and Fox News must be reading the same email "news" and takng it for fact. It galls me see attacks that are not investigated, quoted as fact, while the white candidates lie and tell you what you want to hear (apparently you like to be lied to)
