Matthew Dowd

The question here is did Wright ask Obama to deny him for some 30 silver of chingle or did Obama act on his own? To his own proclaim of being above the norm politician, no matter how you cut it, there are some experienced voters who will not buy the dramatic act since Obama has just revealed another flaw in his character: just another common politician. The holly bubble is about going to burst and the reality aftermath is not a pretty thing to see.

If his DEMOCRATIC opponent has anything to say about it, he WILL limp over the finish line. Her actions prove she is concerned about self and not party. He is ahead in all numbers, and she should respect that.

Obama is the best candidate for president this country has seen in a long time. He is extremely honest, and that is what this country needs in this most crucial time. We need truth, we need integrity, we need honesty...and he has proven he can deliver.

I don't care about Jeremiah Wright, as religion should be a separate and private issue, and should not be used as a club to beat up people that we don't necessarily agree with.

President Obama, bring an end to this war, and bring our troops home.

Please Wright is not going away. If you don't think Wright will be an issue in the General election then you are living in fantasy land.

What really concerns me is not Wright but Obama's judgement- what he really thinks of America. He says many issues beautifully (including his denouncing his former pastor, mentor, and so called, uncle who has sometimes different opinion as Obama put it.) Troubling, Troubling.... but Just talks isn't really enough.

Totally on and ...reaction to these things needs to be beefed up in time. I think it was a staff drop for him to have not seen the video and transcripts sooner. That needs to be remedied.

and if I may excuse the long comment but he needs to point out a couple of things more strongly
...and point out the DETAILS of WHY the healthcare plans are about cost and WHY Hillary's plan doesn't get to it both because of not implementable through congress, not executionable from the place we are a nation and healthcare now...and why looking at Massachusetts (a state with grat access and healthcare infrastructure to actually make the plan work in todays situation) will tell us again...why Hillary's plan can not do.

That healthcare is about a couple of things...
-costly billing and red tape processes (something a massive bureaucracy alng thelines of medicare - the worst of the coverage right now - will take years maybe decades blowing up before it could ever fix),
-malpractice insurance premiums through the roof and crushing the medical profession (and I am a democrat)because of redundant and pointless rewards that do not punish the practitioner any more than a smaller reward but the insurance company...therefore the profession as a whole and therefore the patients) lack of family practice, nurses, and surgeons (which a mass blanket program will exacerbate enormously),
-and prescription meds (why is payola illiegal in the record industry and still allowed in the pharmaceutic sales industry?)

Hillary's plan only speak briefly about electronic medical records and the mass amount of people who will beunder the plan will bring down costs... that is only true with pharmaceutical sales ...the overall costs will go up because we have a system that is strained by the population that it already has and the level of healthcare we have already in this country.

The costs are going to grow exponentially...and not to mention that this plan ignores the fact that the exact people who need it who are forgoing healthcare to apy the rent and feed their families...don't understand how to make a stipend with a "tax break" work with those concerns ...elitists not realizing that blue collar people are not accountants.

and get the media to start addressing these "obliterate" with nuclear weapons comments and "massive retaliating" police force covering the middle east on the US's dime...

you know the ones...the ones Ahmadenijad and Kim JOnng Il are now passing around to our enemies and allies alike to show why they need a nuclear force...to protect them from the Nuclear threats of the US.

but I totally agree...I hope they are reading your post Matt.

His ads have done fantastic work, in each of the contests you mentioned, HRC was ahead by double digits and expected to win handily. She ran extremely negative ad campaigns that helped her in Ohio and Penn. You should check your math though, Obama came out of Texas with more delegates than she did, I'd call that a win.

Don't let the press,Clinton or McCain ,Wright steal your thunder! Your are the true change agent and americans that believe our government can improve for its people believes this.These distractions can throw you off your message,but like Matt said get back to the grass roots,which is what has energized and inspired this campaign from day one. I agree with Jessie Jackson,we must keep HOPE alive!

Obama 08!
Yes We Can!

Of course, this is how the double standard goes...let's continue to pick the black guy apart. Let's continue to beat issues to death, continue with innuendo, continue distorting and twisting his words. It is more important to keep beating him up than it is to concentrate on crucial issues.

While bill and hillary get to pass go and collect millions of dollars.
No FEC investigation reporting, what about her church ties?, not news worthy? why not? Library donors? not worthy? why not? The Peter Paul trial, judge requests hillary testify, but only AFTER election day lol what a joke!

John McCain, another pass to go and collect millions of dollars. And not even a scrape of investigation on his wife, why not?

But we tear Michelle Obama up one side and down the other.

I was glad to see BO denouncing his racist reverend, but what about his other two 'amigos', William Ayers, the unrepentant terrorist, and Tony Rezco, the indicted 'fixer'? He still has a lot of denouncing to do. Obama's political career was launched in a 1995 meeting in Ayer's home. Obama was 40 when Ayers stated publicly that he "doesn't regret setting bombs". Indeed, he said, "I feel we didn't do enough ".The main thing that everyday (called rural voters by his campaign) want to know about a presidential contender are the things that most reveal character and core beliefs. Issues come and go and change, but core beliefs do not change.

Emily...you guys want it both way, first you said( months ago) he needs to alienate himself and break away. Now you are saying he has thrown Wright under the bus. Obama has know this man for 20 years and thought of him as a father figure. I cannot imagine how difficult this was for him to do. But he had to step forward when Wright finally disrespected him. He has to show everyone who he really is( you keep saying you don't know him). Well he is a man of principles who has to make a VERY hard decision.I persionally respect him...

Matthew Dowd is a Hillary Hater. Funny he's now giving Obama campaign advice. Don't buy it, of course he wants Obama to be the nominee, he'd rather run against him than Hillary. That was the deal all along with him, and a slew of other conservative "journalists" who marched along praising the Obama train. The liberals in the media and all over the country thought it was sincere.

America, you've been punked.

The Wright concerns will not go away. It speaks to his core beliefs, honesty, and judgment. Wright is now linked with Obama in the average voters' mind.
We have heard from Karl Rove and Matthew Dowd on what Obama needs to do. These guys strategized a way to give us a disaster called George W. Bush. Thanks a bunch. Dowd and Rove need to go on vacation with Wright and leave us alone. I guess Dowd and Rove are experts on how to get an empty suit elected president. They've done enough damage to our country.

Your thoughts are good, EXCEPT what if Rev. Wright is not done with his talks. The church did a HUGE effort in time and money to help OBAMA. Also, there are more issues coming down the road with Rezko. I guess OBAMA will have to "reject" and "denounce" him too as they were personal friends for some 17 years! The Democrats will lose this election if they stay with OBAMA. Beliefs and character do not change with speeches. He is dumping his Pastor of 20 years, to be President. He is or will dump his close friend Rezko to become President. Will he dump the American people too for ? That is why character is so important. Yes, let's forget his character and talk about the issues to find out later that we have a jerk in the White House.

Thank you for an article that dosen't throw Obama under the bus. So much in the last 2 weeks has been negative and circled around things that really didn't matter that the real issue of the differences between Obama and Clinton have gone the way the Clinton campaign has all along. Negative.
Thanks
Obama 08

Anne...how much more of a jerk is Bill Clinton. He disgraced the presidency( BTW I voted for him twice)...or McCain who cannot even keep the player staight in the middle east...boy are we in trouble!!!

Brian...I have never in my 60 years seen so much negative press. The Clintons keep saying they are getting bad press and the press is against them. How much have you seen about Hillary in the last few weeks but where she is campaigning.It is really sad what this press is doing to Obama....a great man who has principles unlike the Clintons.

Have we forgotten we are at war?
How many troops have died this month?
Oh, that's right, it's no big deal.

But we continue to talk about an out of touch pastor.
Distractions are an understatement.

Mr. Obama showed an incredible amount of naivete in running for president knowing his pastor holds the views that he does as well as knowing that some of those who Obama chose to "hang with" over the years are so far from the mainstream. Did Barack think he could "finesse" his way into the White House and have the media cover up all of his associations with radicals, communists, and a weathermen bomber? Not to mention his wife who's said she's never been proud of the U.S. in her entire adult life before her hubby started running for president. America will be "da*ned" - as the Rev. would have it - if she is foolish enough to elect a callow, foolish, naive man with no record of accomplishment to the highest elected office in the land. BTW - I don't consider the other options for president much (if any) better. America - you had better get on your knees and start praying!

Michelle Obama did not say she had never been proud of this country....

Stop distorting her words.

Mr. Dowd, what if the Rev. Wright really believes the sermons and speeches that he gives are truthful and supportive of the church principals. The church, Trinity United Church of Christ has stated clearly that the ministry is founded on the 1960 black-power theology book that espouses “the destruction of the white enemy”. Mr. Obama knows this is a fact and belongs to this church and got assistance and direction from this church, which by the nurtured his children too. Obama seems to want it both ways. First he clearly stated that he has never heard such sermons at church, and then he clearly stated that he has heard many sermons and such rhetoric but that he does not always agree with the Rev. No one has pointed out that the Rev. might truthfully believe that Obama now has a change of heart as he has agreed with the pastor and his sermons for a very long time. Perhaps the Rev. feels that Obama used the church on his climb to the Presidency. What if the Rev. is truthful?

A spokeswoman for Mr. Wright, who retired in February after 36 years as church pastor, said he was not available to respond to Mr. Obama's comments. But will he respond? It is not a issue that the sermons and speeches are hatred related, it is a question does Obama believe in them, and is just “rejecting” and “denouncing” to get elected? You noticed that Obama still belongs to the Trinity United Church of Christ, which by the way still has the same ministry and believes in black-power.

All of the taking heads and Bloggers are still trying to spin this things all kind of ways. The Bottom line is this whole Rev Wright issue is done and over with lets move on to the bread and butter issues. Obama is not only running for Black People his running for all people.

Obama all the way!

To be honest...
.with the world as it is...

It would be next to impossible for Obama not to be the next President.

and the night of the election citizens of the world will finally view us as an inspiration and friends again... and think about the night of the election ...which candidate just by the campaign he has run, the way he speaks to people and the actions he has promised (or not overpromised) has gained enough good will to change the status quo for America on the very night he is elected...

It ain't Hillary.

instead of telling each other "to not buy American" these countries and these people's will actually may be back on the road to help us in defending against terrorism.

Obama is the only candidate that the rest of our old allies and friends are cheering for... he is inherently the one candidate that leads us into the future and doesn't tie us to the mistakes of our past that have brought us to this point.

Period.

Matthew - OUTSTANDING analysis!!!! You make Jake seem weak and tepid and out of touch.

Ah, the ego...yes, Rev. Wright is certainly focused on that these days. Proving to us that ego in the service of faith is still ego.

What I don't understand is why in this country based on free speech and freedom of religion, folks can't just accept him and his words as his right, and move on. The media decides to keep covering him, and then they decry the words he says into their microphones. Strange.

And Hillary wants to cast more stones by saying she wouldn't have sat in a church with him, um, ok, that's your right, good for you. But she uses it to indicate Obama has poor character. I'm pretty tired of "a fighter" meaning she can be as negative as possible and it's looked at as a good thing.

Obama has tried to stay more positive but he's been beaten down and yes, it does show on his face. I think he believed the country wouldn't be so visceral. I don't care if Obama doesn't bowl well or doesn't want to eat fries with his cheese steak...can't we seek something more lofty from our President?

Anne: Let's not go there this Country was founded on lies that all men are created equal which is part of the "Bill of Rights". The Church and State are two separate entities. Do we really want to open up a can of worms? The Black Panthers were destroyed years ago, lets get rid of the hate groups that are still around you know who they are.

The only thing that has changed in the last two months....white people have realized they don't want anyone black in power and can't vote for a brown skin candidate. For a few minutes, they forgot what color was, but the clintons reminded them. bill clinton went out of his way to remind them in SC.

...there is not a black america and a white america, there is the United States of America...

Are our troops dieing for white america or black america?

Why is the media focused on Wright, who cares, he is not running for president. The media needs to ask Clinton why he was given an invitation to the White house prayer breakfast after his latest infidelity with Monica. Maybe she has under sniper fire or brokering Ireland peace agreement or didn't get enough sleep. Hillary has continually lied about her so called experience and the media needs to call her on it. Of course she will never admit she lied, only that she misspoke. We need an honest, trustworthy president with moral character, and she is far from it.

All of the taking heads and Bloggers are still trying to spin this thing all kind of ways. The Bottom line is this whole Rev Wright issue is done and over with lets move on to the bread and butter issues. Obama is not only running for Black People his running for all people.

Obama all the way!

Rev. Wright is Judas! He should go hang himself underneath a tree for what he has done.

I dunno, I've been out of the loop the last few days so I didn't see Obama's condemnation of Rvd Wright but it seems a bit rich for him to be NOW disavowing and trashing the guy. Like, what was so different about Wright said today to what he has preached in his church for the past 20 years.

I'm sorry, but to me this seems like the biggest flip-flop ever by Obama.

I hope his advisers read this article.

Try educating yourself Mark, then maybe you'll come back with an educated answer, instead of trashing Obama before you actually know what took place.

And people just like you run this country.

Sad.

Obama to AxelRod : ' Did it work? I know those suckers at MSNBC/NBC/Washington Post/Newsweek/CNN and my sychophants bought that junk. But, did the intelligent people out there buy it?


AxelRod: Im Sure..Im Sure....


Obama to Wright: 'You deserve an Oscar for that performance yesterday, Reverend! I Love you!'


Wright to Obama: 'I Love you like a Son - you take care of those two lovely girls of yours and give Michelle a big kiss for me. We'll meet after you win the Presidency. Oscar? You think so? Wasnt bad, huh? You were pretty convincin yourself, Messiah!'


Obama to Wright: 'Hey hey hey Watch it'


Obama/Wright: Hahahahahahaha!!!


How many people feel like a sucker Wright now???

In NJ clinton won by 10 pts, however, a new poll out says NJ favors Senator Obama,

talk about buyers remorse...

Sometimes my empathy for this, my country America, boarders on apathy. Pennsylvania is a very good example; do I have to be a college graduate, make over $100,000 a year in order to see the quality in the leadership Obama offers? Or should one be content with being a bumbling illiterate and resign oneself to the mediocrity of The Bush and Clinton oligarchy

He needs to talk up the issues at hand.

Does he need the Jewish vote to win? If not, then he ought to go after that Hillary remark about using nukes/obliterating Iran and he needs to go after it HAMMER AND TONGS and OBLITERATE her credibility. Iran is quite capable of trying something against Israel, and "obliterating" them is SO SUPER RACIST. I don't hear calls to "obliterate" any misbehaving white countries, do you? Nor will you. Nor do you hear threats of "obliterating" the Chinese if they don't stop arming Africa -- because they have us in their pocket financially. Nor do you hear threats to "obliterate" those aiding the janjaweed who are murdering kids and women in Africa -- there's nothing to steal, there's no voters over here to arse-kiss with crazy rhetoric (Cubans and Jews are small voting blocs here, and note how it's all skewed for THEM, how very brownnosey).

He needs to go back to what was interesting about him to start with. The voters AREN'T LISTENING to the S.O.S. and the VOTERS liked the idea of him meeting with foreign leaders - it's only the DUM-DUM talking heads who tried to whip up questions about his "naivete." The PEOPLE liked it.

He needs to STEP OUT in confidence and he needs to ROAST that moronic McCain and his nasty "take care of yourselves, ye little nothings" attitude towards health care (while he lives it up on his scarecrow wife's millions made from SELLING CHEAP BOOZE TO YAHOOS).

Argh.

Wow! You have Dowd and Rove advising Obama! The Repubs must want him really bad. Some desperation and lots of fun to watch! It would be lots of mud on the Repubs faces if Hillary wins the nomination. These people care about themselves and not about the country. A real abomination to support a guy who has no solutions for America and is such a naive candidate! I hope the democrats see this.

jacob...do you have the source for that language or are you making it up. Libel is a crime you know?

LA...this is happening all over the country. The news media declares a winner even before the polls close. Now we see that Hillary actually only won in Pa by 9.2%...and the larger states Tx, OH, and Ca favored him at a lot hiher percent. But HRC doesn't want anyone to know that.

I am certain the republicans, and 1/2 the democratic party who support Clinton appreciate Dowd's attempt here to 'brainstorm' for Obama.

Instead of just reporting the news, Dowd wants onto Obamas campaign too. Its another instance of corruption in the media.

However, spin or no spin, Wright is the guy who has remained CONSISTENT.

Wright has been the same guy for decades. Wright has had the same message for decades. Wright has been spouting out for decades.

It OBAMA who has flip flopped 4 different times about what he knew, how he felt, and what he thinks of Wright.

All wright has to do is strenghten his argument that Obama knew all along who Wright was and agreed with him for 20 years until he ran for president.

The minuite he does that, or even insinuates that again, Obama's career is over.

God bless Obama, he has dealted with so many diffuclt forces. This Rev. Wright is doing this for his own publicity, if not for the republicans. God bless you Obama may his heavenly Angles lead, guide and minister to all of your needs. In the MIGHTY, MIGHTY, NAME OF JESUS I PRAY AND I BELEIVE. AMEN*********************************************++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

The criticisms still to be leveled against Obama are twofold: 1) it was late and 2) he did this only after Wright personally attacked him; Obama didn't get angry over the OTHER things Wright said, but only when Wright made it personal this time.

“What seems to be most insulting to him was that he was insulted by Rev. Wright, more than the comments that some people see as being unpatriotic,” Democratic strategist Kirsten Powers said.

And, he has problem with "judgment"

Barack needs to shut up his racist, white-hating, snobbish, unbearable and ill-tempered wife: Michelle Obama.

obama should drop-out.

Obama needs to drop-out and stop trying to fool the American people. Rev. Wright has revealed the "True Obama". The Rev made this explicit when he said that Obama is a politician and will say what a politician would say in response to the poll and the situation.

Obama even said recently that the Rev. was not his Spiritual Advisor. Like a politician, Obama forgot that he did refer to the Rev., some weeks ago, as his Spiritual Advisor. Rev. Wright's behavior over the weekend and on Monday was no different from his behavior on the earlier tapes that surfaced.

Obama should not be the nominee. If the Democratic Party nominates him for fear of losing the Blank votes, they are forgetting about the Hispanic vote. This is a very important group (the Hispanics) and they will not vote for Obama. As for me, I am black and a Democrat. But if Obama is the nominee, I will vote for John McCain. Obama is inexperience and his judgment is very poor.

Remember, the two people who have known Obama for more than 20 years, his wife and his pastor, revealed who he truly is to the American people. Don’t let Obama fool you with his words – they are political!

I am of the opinion that most of the Super delegates know within themselves that Obama cannot win the General Election. But they are endorsing him just because they do not want a strong woman to win. Such behavior is very bad for the party.

wonder if Hillary Clinton also plans to do like Obama has already done, and tell her own minister, Douglas Coe, a man who praised HITLER, in recorded speeches, that he is offensive as well.
Since 1993, Hillary Clinton REGULARLY attended the prayer meetings of this minister Douglas Coe.

I am waiting for Hillary Clinton to denounce Douglas Coe, a man who praised the mass murdered, HITLER, a man who killed millions of Jews. Hillary Clinton REGULARLY attended this man's prayer meetings for 15 years.

Think she'll do it?! Doubtful, because Hillary Clinton has no courage, and she is a hypocrite!!!
Obama denounced his pastor, I am waiting for Hillary to denounce her pastor, a man who has praised HITLER in recorded sermons.

Obama appears to have over stayed his welcome, he has lost any momentum he may have had and the public is beggining to really see that Hillary Clinton IS, CAN AND WILL be sucessful turning this nation around.

The longer Obama hangs on, the greater the risk that finge voters (embarrased republicans) may begin to discover how wrong they have been about our true "National treasure...Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton" causing a landslide defection for the GOP.

GO HRC!

Good Analysis!! and yes, he and Michelle should just go out there and have fun --
Perhaps after the 6th just a BIG rally again -- he loves getting the people together and they love seeing him in large crowds where people can relate to each other before and after he speak -- it's amazing the connection people feel to one another going to these large events.
I love the questions about where were his people?? I am sure they told him, but ....... when you are out campaigning and thinking of the next place you are going it isn't like someone watching the news or blogs 24/7 -- he probably needed a chance to sit down watch and reflect on the "performance" -- I know it took me a while to ingest it -- not everyone is out for blood or "gossip".
Hopefully the press will try to do some worthwhile stores.

Just for a moment lets assume that Obama and Wright staged this outburst.

Is it possible that Wright who is no longer the Rev. at the church and has basically retired, has nothing to lose by this ranting at the press club. After all he is gone from the church and no longer speaks from the pulpit.

Does this provide Obama the chance to publicly denounce Wright and distance himself from Wright, while at the same time appearing to end the controversy?

Obama rids himself of the Wright rope around his neck, while appearing to have taken the upper hand on the issue and showing strenght.

Wright sees nothing but dollar signs with book deals and more appearances on TV. He was also just TOO flipant and animated like he was purposely trying to bait the press and they took the bait. He just takes his 5 minutes of fame with book deals and fades away richer.

I feel there is colusion between the two to stage this, with both of them winning. This is starting to smell like a rat.

You can't change the "system" without being a part of the "system". That's being a realist, says Obama. One person (POTUS) can't do it alone so that is where the "compromising" comes in and "working across the aisle" in Washington - that's how "Change" comes about, says Obama. You don't hear Hillary and McCain clamouring for "let's come together as One America, One People". Yes, it makes for a rather pointed piece of nice rhetoric as Obama said in Iowa, but the higher point is that Obama wants to lead the charge for a "Better" America, with the help of the American electorate, so in that sense, yes, he is a politician, but not just another political hack.

I address Hillary this way: HILLARY, REV WRIGHT WASN'T/ISN'T YOUR PASTOR, BUT BILL CLINTON WAS/IS YOUR HUSBAND. Here is the REAL TIME LINE comparison the media & HILLARY CLINTON should consider (rather than applying a double-standard on Obama). Obama acknowledges a "friendship" and "fellowship" with Rev Wright the past 20 years. HILLARY AND BILL have been married for 20 + years. PRES CLINT WAS IMPEACHED, DISBARRED, AND CHEATED IN HIS MARRIAGE TO HILLARY, so HILLARY WHY DO YOU CONTINUE TO STAY WITH BILL? Why haven't you 'denounce', 'renounce' Bill's past indiscretions and other blunders (NAFT, CAFTA, China, Mark Penn, Patty Doyle)?

Obama should drop out. Go back to your church where you belong, please. We need Hillary or we will lose. BO cannot win. Unelectable in the general.

Yes, Mr. Obama comes off so squeaky clean and righteous. He does not take gifts from big Oil Companies, not jaded (yet) as a Senator. But holy cow, did he sell his Pastor down the river in no time flat!!!!!! He stands for or behind absolutely nothing or no one. Check his lack of taking a stand on votes. I started out wanting to hear more from this fresh face, but I am now totally disgusted, he is no better than those he is now denouncing. Really loved it also when his intelligent, Ivy educated wife said that she is finally proud to be an American! Wow it took her over 40 years to feel that, I don't think I want her as a First Lady either.Say what you want about the Clintons and what they say or may have done. They never denounced or did anything to show a total disregard to this great Nation!

This Wright thing is dead. Obama has killed this issue once and for all. If it's brought up in November, it'll be old news.

Sorry guys...I know you had your hopes up!

YES WE CAN!!!

Suze

"They never denounced or did anything to show a total disregard to this great Nation!"

WHAT!!!!

What about the fact that Clinton was IMPEACHED and almost destroyed the integrity of the presidency? WTF lady!!

IMPEACHED Suze...do you understand that? Only thing worse is being convicted of treason.

and you want them back in the White House...unbelievable!

You Obama supporters with your conspiracy thories and your hatred of Clinton are out of your minds.Time to realize Obama is not the messiah you think he is.

Impeached my ****! Attack by a slander machine is more the word. I think if someone spent 50 million dollars to unearth every wrong thing you ever did you would be sing a different tune. Obama supporters say let the Rev. Wright thing go.. Hypocrites indeed!

what does Obama need to do?
WELL whatever he does,
the Media such ABC will be their
to attempt to derail him.

Instead of articles like

“Poll: Obama Leads, But Reasons For Concern”

why don't say

“In spite of Wright, Obama shows Endurance and Continues Lead” ?

I’ll tell you why.
As FoxNews, the GOP
prefer Clinton, so does about every
media such as the ABCNews.

The media has provided Obama with more FREE advertising than any other candidate. This shows that he is on the right path. Obama should continue the pastor story so he gets more FREE media time. Just wait and see, this is working out well for him. He's got the media in his hands and can gain voters with more denouncing of Rev Wright and his speeches about racism. Stick with what has worked.

I am not a supporter of either candidates but I understand they both have a Christian belief. I believe that the person who wins this race and the Presidency will be the one most likely to make a decision to enter a major conflict. How do I know? Because serious Bible students, who study the bible, will tell you that that is what the Scriptures say. The major players in this prophesy will all square off. None of them will win. As vague as that sounds, only people who recognise Bible prophesy will be able to explain it to you. So I hope he doesn't win. I have watched the wolves come out and tear him to pieces each day. That in itself, can be to his benefit. It means that he is doing something RIGHT, believe it or not. And what is that? He's actually being honest, I guess. You can tell when a person has a penchant for lying or being deceitful. It is in their body language and their words. His words don't convey dishonesty, so his enemies from within and from without are attacking him by other means, because they can't find anything WRONG with him. It is an ironic thing to watch It is almost like watching a re-run of the Bill Clinton and Monica Lewinsky fiasco, where you couldn't tell who was the enemy, because the attacks were coming from all directions. It is a shameful thing to watch, but that is why politics is like a wild animal - unrestrained and vicious. In saying that, I don't believe Bill Clinton either, is a vicious person. But he knows what it is like to be attacked by those who you THOUGHT were on your side.

What a great topic...

What a great topic...

Cathy, Cathy,
It was more like a witch hunt, not an impeachment. Everyone that was for that should have their own lives looked into. Everyone, and I mean everyone, even you has skeletons in their closet. But we are beating a dead horse here. You are blinded by Obama and his spin on everything and there is no changing that, hopefully people will see through him before it is toooooooo late! WAKE UP PEOPLE !!! This man has no experience, what has he stood up for and stand behind without question, not much! And his mentor (former, now) and spiritual leader is a questionable person, as we have seen in his sermons and now in his interviews with the press. Yup, just who I want to lead us!

Wright is not going to disappear in the Fall. Obama is going to lose not only because of Wright, but because Obama is a seriously flawed candidate. The good ole boys of the democratic party and the pro-Obama media did not do their due diligence when they deliberately and willfully propped Obama up to keep Hillary from being the nominee. Now they have egg on their face and look totally stupid. Vote for Hillary, she's the best.

Obama has already won the nomination. He holds a delegate lead that Clinton CANNOT catch up to mathematically. All this drama and analysis is meaningless. When Obama wins North Carolina next Tuesday and takes the majority of delegates from the largest delegate state left, this whole race will hopefully come to an end as Clinton realizes she's toast. And the country will be well served by President Obama.

The difference this time was that America watched and listened to Rev Wright give a full speach on TV. And he confirmed his Black Liberation Beliefs. America saw what Obama has listened to for 20 years in church. America will not accept hatred as a valid belief from its President. The Black Liberation Beliefs are not going to rule this country. NO WAY. Obama can not win. The Republicans will launch a full scale attack on the Black Liberation Theology and Obama will be crushed in the general election. ONLY Hillary has a chance to win the white house and take it away from the Republicans. Obama should immediately withdraw and throw his full complete support to Hillary for President.

Jeremiah Wright is a racist. If you believe what he's saying then you're a racist, too. If his goal was racial equality then he would act more like the Christian Martin Luther King, Jr. and less like the muslim Lewis Farrakhan. There is absolutely no difference between Mr. Wright and the scum affiliated with the KKK. He's a pathetic excuse for an American. Shame on any American who looks up to this man…and I use the term 'man' loosely.

It's pretty obvious that the media prefers McCain and Clinton over Obama. The bias is so lopsided in its negative Obama coverage one would think its being organized by David Duke. You media people disgust me with your "we are so wonderful and colorblind. We are equal to all comers regardless of race, creed, or religion." Sure, as long as you are a white Jew or Christian. Most of the media are a bunch of racist bigoted hypocrites.

Well you get the person you want in the end. I hope Obama does not win. For his own sake. He wouldn't be able to stand the wolves and hypocrites in his midst. His major mistake was in saying he would bring the troops home and for not realising the lengths his enemies (those within his party and in the opposition) would go to remove him. With the aid of a meticulously driven campaign in the media, they have managed to accuse him of a "crime" without him actually committing a crime. His only fault being that he allowed himself to get sucked into the void that they created for him. I will be glad if he gets beaten. Let someone else take the burden that the next US President will be lumbered with. And lumbered with it, they will be, for the task is a burdensome one and requires careful thought and diplomacy. There isnt anyone with the skills that he has. Pity, he would make a great leader, but not in this world. Not in this time. This moment in Man's history is a momentous one.

In the landmark civil fraud case against Bill Clinton in Los Angeles, where the former President is charged with defrauding a Hollywood dot com millionaire to help Hillary Clinton obtain more than $1.2 million from him for her 2000 Senate campaign, Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Aurelio Munoz ruled on Friday, April 25 that Hillary Clinton would not be required to testify in a sworn deposition as a material witness in the case until AFTER the November election!

While Bill Clinton, Chelsea Clinton, Al Gore, Ed Rendell, Barabara Streisand, Cher, Stan Lee, Brad Pitt, Mike Wallace, Larry King et al may be called to testify and be deposed starting in May, Hillary alone has been protected from explaining her role in her husband’s fraud charges.

In an astonishing ruling by the Judge, Hillary Clinton may NOT be deposed about her role in the illegal solicitation and cover up of the largest contribution made to her Senate campaign until after the presidential election. This is the same contribution Hillary denied knowing about or receiving when Lloyd Grove of the Washington Post asked her specifically about it and her relationship with the donor, Peter Paul, in August 2000. Its the same contribution her finance director David Rosen was criminally tried in May, 2005, or hiding from her and her campaign. Its the same contribution the FEC fined her campaign for hiding from the voters in three false FEC reports by her treasurer between 2000-2006. (www.paulvclinton.com)

Equally surprising as the ruling was the judge’s request to Hillary defense lawyer David Kendall to “say hello to his ( Judge Munoz”) friend Bill, also a partner in Kendall’s law firm”
The decision to shield Hillary Clinton from civil discovery for an additional seven months, thereby delaying a long postponed trial, was made by the judge on his own, without any request by Hillary or her lawyer to make the ruling. No discussion was permitted by Paul’s lawyer before the decision was made. Judge Munoz’ unilateral decision effectively saved the floundering campaign and hopes of Hillary Clinton to win her party’s Presidential nomination!

Had Senator Clinton be forced to testify under oath, as a material witness and beneficiary of the fraud that her husband is being sued for before the Democratic Convention, her remote chances for being nominated the party candidate would have been unquestionably destroyed.

Hillary has never publicly commented on the case in which she was a defendant from 2003-2006. Nor has Hillary ever commented on the videotaped phone call she made to Peter Paul the day he began spending more than $1 million for her Senate campaign, the false statements she made through Howard Wolfson to the Washington Post denying working with Paul or receiving any contributions from him, the sworn Declaration she made under oath where she refused to deny any of Paul’s allegations, the role her White House aide Kelly Craighead played in coordinating Paul’s expenditures and befirending Paul’s Japanese business partner during a White House visit and many other unanswered questions of illegal conduct.

The illegalities detailed in Paul’s civil complaint and FEC complaint caused Hillary’s finance director to be criminally indicted and tried in 2005 by the Department of Justice Office of Public Integrity (the same group that prosecuted Scooter Libby) for hiding the cost of a fundraiser paid for by Paul. Paul’s FEC allegations forced Hillary’s campaign to admit to the FEC in October, 2005, that it violated FEC reporting requirements by hiding more than $700,000 received from Paul that Hillary personally said she never received.

Hillary’s sworn deposition is expected to reveal numerous illegalities directed by Hillary, with Bill’s help, to win and keep her Senate seat and avoid being accountable to the law. The judge’s sua sponte decision to delay Hillary’s deposition until after the presidential election denies the public’s right to know what a presidential candidate and a former president have done to undermine the Rule of Law and the Constitution by corrupting the Department of Justice Office of Public Integrity and its very Chief, Noel Hillman, federal judge A Howard Matz appointed by Bill Clinton (who deceived the jury in the criminal trial of Hillary’s finance director by telling the jury that Hillary was not involved in any way) and the FEC itself which aided and abetted Hillary filing a fourth false FEC report in January, 2006 that omitted any reference to the $1.2 million contribution the FBI and DOJ swore Paul made.

The Department of Justice prosecutor in the May, 2005 criminal case stated that $1.2 million was personally contributed by Paul at the request of Bill Clinton as part of an employment deal for Clinton’s post White House rainmaking services and was confirmed by FBI Special Agent David Smith as explained by Dept of Justice Prosecutor Dan Schwaber (pages 55,57,72) during the criminal trial of Hillary’s finance director David Rosen in May 2005.
Hillary’s treasurer was later forced to admit filing the false FEC reports to hide more than $700,000 paid by Paul, and fined $35,000 (the only fine imposed on Hillary’s campaign) yet Hillary has never answered one question to the media or the courts about these charges!

In fact, Hillary’s sworn Declaration in response to Paul’s sworn allegations constituted a legal admission to Paul’s charges becauseHillary refused to deny any of the allegations!
Strangely, Hillary admitted to the Washington Post in August 2000 knowing that the fundraising event Paul produced and paid for in August, 2000 cost more than $1 million- yet Rosen was indicted on three counts of hiding this fact from Hillary’s campaign causing 3 false FEC reports to be filed!

The cover-up of the original felony violations of the federal election law committed by Hillary and Bill Clinton (they solicited and coordinated Paul’s $1 million plus contribution as a quid pro quo for Clinton’s post White House employment) have resulted in a corruption of every branch of the government by the Clinton’s- all in plain view of the public and with the collusion of the media and the government. Watergate seems insignificant in the breadth of its public corruption in comparison with what has become the mother of all coverups orchestrated by Hillary Clinton.

The Case Against Hillary Clinton: Appellate Court Finds Illegalities

The best way to understand the case against Hillary Clinton- the frauds she directed to win her Senate seat and the obstructions of justice she orchestrated in plain view to keep it- is to read the explanation of the case of Paul v Clinton presented to California’s Court of Appeals late last year.

Peter Paul appealed Hillary Clinton’s purported right to first amendment protection from liability for frauds she directed when she was engaged in illegal campaign fundraising. The allegations of huge tort and election law frauds directed by a President and Senate candidate were corroborated with evidence that speaks for itself in the court pleadings- read the outline and click on the links:

The only judicial panel to ever review Hillary Clinton’s conduct as part of a judicial proceeding (the California Appellate Court) did not deny that Hillary’s conduct in obtaining more than $1.2 million from Paul may have been illegal!

“Even if some aspect of Senator Clinton’s campaign fundraising
unrelated to Paul’s claims… were illegal and that illegality could be imputed to Senator Clinton and Clinton for Senate, these defendants are not barred from obtaining the benefit of section 425.16’s right to an early evaluation of Paul’s claims arising from their constitutionally protected activity. ”
