Political Punch

what about larry sinclair it must be reported even if he is a black man its called being in the down low

Regarding Barack Obama and my reasons for not liking him and not voting for him.

Many of them are logical and I cannot debate his supporters who come back with illogical responses based on personal jabs and loss for words thus things like "You're a waste of time."

I also have gut feelings about him that aren't quantifiable but they are logical.

Since we don't know a lot about him, since he doesn't have as much of a history as Hillary Clinto for us to say, "OK, he is a pretty responsible person, he doesn't have a chip on his shoulder about being an "African" American (he really isn't but I suppose that's neither here nor there in most instances), he is definitely completely PRO USA and has no ties or allegiances to Farrakhan, etc.

I am still perplexed about his membership in a church (Christian?), that aligns itself with Farrakhan, a Muslim (another reason for my gut feeling).

He goes back on his promises, votes present in IL senate to preseve HIS political standing rather than trying to go on record as opposing a bill in it's final form or better yet, CHANGE IT! WORK TO CHANGE IT! THIS CANDIDATE OF CHANGE DOESN'T SEEM TO BE ABLE TO DO THIS IN IL VERY EFFECTIVELY!

He said he would not run for president in 2008. Then he said it was due to wanting more experience, etc. OK, so according to some of his supporters here, he was told what a wonderful candidate he would be.

This just proves that what he says today in his campaining can DEFINITELY be manipulated and changed by OTHERS. He can be made to change HIS mind and go against his own promises and visions.

So that among many other things makes me wonder what changes we can believe in today which he will go back on tomorrow.

He is too raw, new, inexperienced and flaky to have my vote.

Mrs. Clinton receives MONEY from SPECIAL INTERESTS and the wealthy!
This sounds like her husbands former NAFTA policy and the Swift Boat camp!
However, I feel sorry for all these wealthy lobbyists and Washington insiders because they are just going to lose their money when Barack wins Ohio and Texas by a landslide! Why not give all of that money to CHARITY???

A Hillary PAC running positive ads now is like Hillary finding her voice in New Hampsire - fatally late and amazingly clueless that it is. Besides, how's that supposed to play with her scalding (and came off as scolding) actions over his mailers? Schizophrenic. Disorganized. Desperate. Done.

Hillary seems flustered and she just didnt expect to overtaken at this stage.. Everything she does seems just plain wrong.. She is so negative in her approach, And her speeches are so put on and appear desperate. Dynasty politics never work.. Cause, It will be nothing but a re-trial of a 'legacy' of failed domestic policies.. Yes, the Clintons maybe more experienced when it come foreign affairs.. But things should change at the national level.. And thats where the charisma of an Obama is needed. Fresh Ideas and a Positive approach.

Yes, Bill Clinton got elected for the same reason Barack Obama will be..

Sometimes, things are better left in the past. A Clinton is very much like the wonder years of a child.. Yes, We must'nt forget the lessons we learnt in our childhood, but at some point in time, We need to grow up. I ask all americans to accept a "change" that is inevitable. It should not have taken so long, but the time has come.

Don't let all the "ads,surrogates,mailers" make your decision about who you support. Listen to the candidates, compare their policies. How do they behave under pressure, how do they behave in success and in defeat? Who has taken the most and lowest shots at the other.
Do you want 4 more years of the Clinton-Bush "monarchy"? Is it time to bring new ideas and a new politics? It is the young voters who should care as they will be here to clean up the mess created by the current generation of long term politicians and politics as usual.
If nominations are won in the same old way using the same old politics - why would anyone think that they won't get the same old thing?
A novel concept is to let the voters speak and have the final vote as to the nominee.
Negative shots, negative ads and tearing the candidates down wll destroy the Democratic party and will give the White House to the Republicans.
Think about what you say, think about what you want, think about the conduct of the candidates, their surrogates and the 527's that back them.
Will you be a part of new politics and new ideas or will you fall for the old style of politics and more of the same?

OBAMA SUPPORTERS: Obama needs more hope.

According to the Chicago Tribune, Antoin "Tony" Rezko, one of Obama's main political contributors, was arrested Monday morning for concealing a $3.5 million payment the indicted slumlord received from a Beruit company tied to a certain Nadhmi Auchi, an Iraqi billionaire embroiled in a corruption scandal in France.
Antoin "Tony" Rezko was roused at daybreak Monday from his Wilmette mansion by federal agents and ordered jailed by a judge who was disturbed that the politically connected businessman concealed a $3.5 million payment from overseas. ...
Prosecutors alleged the $3.5 million wire transfer to Rezko came from Beirut through a company led by a controversial Iraqi-born billionaire who has controlled banks, casinos, telecommunications companies and pharmaceutical firms spanning the globe.
Nadhmi Auchi, who heads General Mediterranean Holding SA, or GMH, bought about 15 Wisconsin pizzerias from Rezko, court records show, and took a stake in Rezko's most ambitious real estate venture--his effort to develop a 62-acre site at Roosevelt Road and Clark Street.
Auchi participated in more than just Rezko's pizza and property ventures, however; he also contributed to Barack Obama's campaign by donating to a 2005 fundraiser through a company of which is wife is a Director. I quote the relevant paragraph from a London Times exclusive"
The Times has, however, discovered state documents in Illinois recording that the Panamanian company Fintrade Services SA lent money to Mr Obama's fundraiser in May 2005. Fintrade's directors include Ibtisam Auchi, the name of Mr Auchi's wife. Mr Auchi's spokesman declined to respond to a question about whether he was linked to this business.

The donation is significant, for some believe Barack Obama may be one of the unnamed "Illinois government officials" mentioned in the following ABC News report on the FBI affidavit filed in US Attorney Fitzgerald's case against Rezko before Obama's political godfather was arrested on Monday:
According to an FBI affidavit filed in the case, Rezko sought to get a visa for Auchi to visit the United States by contacting "certain Illinois government officials."

Rezko sought the visa on behalf of his friend in 2004, and Rezko helped Obama finance the real estate transaction involving his Kenwood mansion in 2005. We also learn today that Auchi's company has deleted information on two websites regarding Auchi's visit to Illinois in 2004 upon hearing that rumors of a meeting between Auchi and Obama are circulating in the US.

Why did Auchi donate to an Obama fundraiser in 2005? Did Obama meet Auchi during the spring of 2004? What was Obama's role in Rezko's request for a visa clearance for Auchi? And why did Rezko financially assist the Obama family less than one year later when they jointly purchased property in the Kenwood neighborhood of Chicago?

MyDD:Obama, Rezko, Auchi, 2005 Donations

I think if obama wins the nominee, it would be a cake walk for the republican machinery to work, it will be very difficult for him to survive the conservative 527 group attack, it would go some thing like "would you want america to be ruled by a Hussein ?" That is all it takes for the poll numbers to tumble.

I think this election is clear now itself who will be the president, there is too much hype and hoopla going in the media, I don't understand why CNN has to hype their polls towards one candidate they like.

The 527 have the power to tilt the election as they did for john kerry, hillary has a chance in fighting but still McCain will win.

Howard Deen where are you???

Will you let the Clintons get away with this under-the-table-sleeze? No wonder Bill was not at the debate, he is in a back room approving and directing all the ads for this 527 project of corruption.

I can't believe one of the guys on the list above is from the kerry/edwards 2004 campaign. Yuck!

Please, please great spirit do not tell me that Edwards is backing her. If he does, he will forever disappoint his former supporters and loose all political credibility.

The underhanded dealings going on for her kept her from totally wigging out tonight at the debate.

Being European, and kind of indifferent, I 'm right now even more appalled at the first couple of comments then at the actual article. I don't know when people are going to realize it but it's all the negativism that's just undermining all credibility and dignity. If this is how you treat your fellow patriots, using this kind of negative attacks against a pretty impressive phenomenon, you've got a lot to learn.... O8

To the poster below, you should also add L-I-A-R to the list to describe Obama.

Apparently, as a state senator, Barack Obama wrote letters to city and state officials supporting his political patron Tony Rezko’s successful bid to get more than $14 million from taxpayers to build apartments for senior citizens.

Interestingly, the deal included $855,000 in development fees for Rezko and his partner, Allison S. Davis, Obama’s former boss, according to records from the project, which was four blocks outside Obama’s state Senate district.

Obama’s letters, written nearly nine years ago, for the first time show the Democratic presidential hopeful did a political favor for Rezko — a longtime friend, campaign fund-raiser and client of the law firm where Obama worked — who was indicted last fall on federal charges that accuse him of demanding kickbacks from companies seeking state business under Gov. Blagojevich.

The letters appear to contradict a statement last December from Obama, who told the Chicago Tribune that, in all the years he’s known Rezko, “I’ve never done any favors for him.”

Can we all say hypocrite really loudly and slowly??

For more than five weeks during the brutal winter of 1997, tenants shivered without heat in a government-subsidized apartment building on Chicago’s South Side.

It was just four years after the landlords — Antoin “Tony” Rezko and his partner Daniel Mahru — had rehabbed the 31-unit building in Englewood with a loan from Chicago taxpayers.

Rezko and Mahru couldn’t find money to get the heat back on.

But their company, Rezmar Corp., did come up with $1,000 to give to the political campaign fund of Barack Obama, the newly elected state senator whose district included the unheated building.

Obama has been friends with Rezko for 17 years. Rezko has been a political patron to Obama and many others, helping to raise millions of dollars for them through his own contributions and by hosting fund-raisers in his home.

Obama, who has worked as a lawyer and a legislator to improve living conditions for the poor, took campaign donations from Rezko even as Rezko’s low-income housing empire was collapsing, leaving many African-American families in buildings riddled with problems — including squalid living conditions, vacant apartments, lack of heat, squatters and drug dealers.

I think the Republicans will eat Obama alive. All the more reason to jump on the McCain bandwagon now.

Unfortunately Obama has become enbroiled in various dealings with less than ethical characters. His campaign (for the Senate and now the democratic race) accepted money/cash from various coporations, and various figures. Obviously he has made so many promises to everyone he is stretching out his hand to, that I wonder if he'll be able to keep all his promises straight.

Regardless, another relationship which will cause him future problems include his relationship with William Ayers, a University of Illinois professor and former member of a left-wing terrorist group that planted bombs in U.S. federal buildings in the 1970s.

Ayers served with Obama on the board of the Woods Fund, an antipoverty group, from 1999 to 2002, and donated money to his 2001 Illinois state Senate campaign.

WILL THE CLINTON'S FRIENDS "BODYCOUNT" RISE BEFORE THIS ELECTION IS OVER, IN ORDER TO CONFIRM A WIN?

Do you know that Obama is being endorsed by the P.R. man for President Bush. I saw the article on MSN news. That's something to think about.

He QUIT McCain's campaign because he said that he respected Obama and could not stomach the kind of smear ads that would he would be forced to use to bring him down.

I don't see Obamamaniacs, I see Hillarymaniacs who support a war monger who doesn't see anything wrong with cluster bombing children and voted for the Kyl-Lieberman bill. The Hillary supporters ARE undeducated, old women. I am a woman, but I can certainly tell the difference between a candidate of quality (read about his agenda instead of parroting that he has no plan)and a selfish, unfulfilled, unproductive, war hawk candidate. The Hillarymaniacs can vote for McCain if they so choose. It would be like voting for Hillary.

Yeah... Obama claims all innocence in not knowing. Just like he claimed he didn't know Tony Rezko was being investigated before speaking with him on the phone about his house purchase.

Interesting how the Chicago papers were plastered with Rezko being investigated the month before Obama put his offer to purchase on the home.

I guess Barack Obama fails to read the front pages of the Chicago news paper.

In the same manner, he claims he didn't know about the companies and their dealings when he bought their stock. Shall we dig a little further??

Lets watch the Obama worshippers shake and quake and spin their way out of this one.

Obama's financial dealings is rather suspicious. He is always being a hypocrite... always asking for Clinton's taxes. But what about his insider stock trading? oops... did I claim the holy one to have done some "sin"? Oh dear. ;)

Less than two months after ascending to the U.S. Senate, Barack Obama bought more than $50,000 worth of stock in two speculative companies whose major investors included some of his biggest political donors, the NYT will splash on Wednesday Page Ones.

The paper claims, according to newsroom sources: One of the companies was a biotech concern that was starting to develop a drug to treat avian flu. In March 2005, two weeks after buying about $5,000 of its shares, Obama took the lead in a legislative push for more federal spending to battle the disease.

The paper's Mike McIntire and Chris Drew get front placement [side by side with Libby Coverage] for details of Obama's most recent financial disclosure:

It shows that he bought more than $50,000 in stock in a satellite communications business whose principal backers include four friends and donors who had raised more than $150,000 for his political committees.
A spokesman for Obama says the senator did not know that he had invested in either company.

This all just shows that in America everything is for sale, even the presidency. I don't know if Obama will be a good or a bad president in the event he wins, but in this moment he has given ordinary Americans some of their selfrespect and dignity back as well as a fighting chance to halt the sell out of our country to big business, corporations, pressure groups and corrupt politics. America has been much too long focused on money and profit and has forgotten all about what our forefathers fought for: We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defence, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America.
Think about what today remains of the dreams for which they gave their lives and which candidate will be the most likely to restore to the people what belongs to the people! I think the answer is clear enough to all.

Apparently Hillary hasn't raised enough money from the lobbyists and political action committees she's in the pocket of (Obama has taken not one cent from either) so she has to get a bunch of rich friends together to pretend to be an independent group.

The usual Clinton garbage. Glad she'll be gone soon.

Obama-manics get all in arms and attack Senator Clinton and her campaign whenever things do not go well for their "messiah".

Shall we forget this little piece of Obama sleeze and lies:
Obama Toured His Now-Home With Rezko Who Was Under Investigation At The Time Feb. 20, 2008

Watchdog groups are questioning why it took Sen. Barack Obama more than a year to disclose additional details of his dealings with indicted fundraiser Antoin "Tony" Rezko.

Lawmakers Call for Congress to Probe Bodies Shows in Wake of '20/20' ReportExclusive: Drug Smugglers Dig Record Number of Tunnels in 2007Fugitive Watch: Have You Seen This Woman? While Rezko was known to be under federal investigation, Obama toured a Chicago-area home with him to get his opinion of the property, Obama's campaign revealed to Bloomberg News for a story published Monday. The politician later bought the home, with Rezko's help, who bought the adjoining lot in what was effectively a package deal.

Until then, Obama has professed trouble recalling such details during interviews with reporters.

To the person who said Obama has the Asian American support behind him, simply because his brother-in-law is Asian... well... we see the logic in THAT argument from the Obamaphile.

Over 70% of Asian Americans in California voted for Senator Clinton, compared to Obama's measly showing of Asian support. He has a snazzy website going, but it's all a flash in the pan.

I've spoken to a NUMBER of Asian American friends, who say that if Senator Clinton does not win, they will be voting Republican for the 1st time in their lives.

For someone who touted himself as the agent of change, he is afraid to deal with minority issues... be it Asian American inequality issues, or Hispanic inequality issues in America.

BTW: we see beyond the smoke and mirrors and all the flash, and beyond the fluff and candy clouds, there literally is NOTHING there.

Shall we count how many times he says "HOPE" and "CHANGE" and "PRIDE" in a speech? What speech does he have left without the Messianic message of HOPE and CHANGE. I'm sorry... my salvation does not rest in this mere person who can't even keep his story straight.

See Rezko dealings. "I do not recall.." to "I spoke with him on the phone". Whatever!

Typical Clinton sleaze and big-money, special-interest poltics. It won't make any difference -- she's going down and she knows it.

As a democrat, I can guarantee you that we will NOT vote for Obama should he win the democratic nomination. He is neither qualified, nor honest with his dealings. He is constantly whining to the media when he or his wife is under any sort of scrutiny for their blunders. He writes things off as "making too deal over it" or being "swift boated" or "slander" or "smearing". Everything has a spin, but never does it come with an apology .... and the worst part is that HE NEVER TAKES RESPONSIBILITY FOR HIS ACTIONS.

I mean, if I wanted another George Bush in the white house... someone who never admits his mistakes... then why even bother with this election? Obama is another George Bush...someone who NEVER takes responsibility for his actions. Never apologizes.

So - should Obama be the democratic candidate, then we WILL be voting for McCain. Guaranteed.

She and her group are right: action speaks lower for itself!

To win a losing compaign, she acts just like her political partner called Bill Clinton. They are using all these dirty tricks, in this case, gathering money to spend purely for her smear compaign against Obama without taking any responsibility.

In the way, one can see that at least McCain promoted campaign finance reform so such tricks can not be easily played. In this sense, voting for Hillary Clinton is worse than voting for McCain -- no principle, a hopeless old dirty political way!!!

Vote for hope, vote for inspiration, vote for a decent person, vote for the better future of this country, Vote For Obama!!!

If ifs and buts were candy and nuts, we'd all have a merry Christmas

The Clinton effort to raise funds without responsibility... ambiguous ads that suggest attack on Obama while offering lowered expectations as the only alternative... What an embarrassment to the Democratic party! Disgusting.

Me, I'm hoping Obama goes all the way to the White House. Because then we may hear a newscaster utter the crown jewel in the Osama-Obama-Blunderama: "American president Barack Osama confirms U.S. forces have just captured Obama bin Laden!"

I noticed that Obama was being blamed by at least one person as being responsible for the McCain smear.It should be noted that the first report on McCain was from Matt Drudge from the Drudge report.It should also be noted that the Drudge is very right wing and anti democrat.Look to your own party for the John McCain "leak" After all they thought McCain wasn't conservative enough for their taste.

Good Job on trying anyway! We will bring change for our generation! We need to do it now, or these old people will shut out our generation with ideas of the future. Not to be persuaded anymore! Welcome in the New Generation of people who stand for bringing people together! Starts Now..with OBAMA!

I really did not want to accept the media reports that say Clinton supporters are generally undereducated. However, after reading their postings here, I think they have removed all doubt. There may be a few educated people supporting Clinton, but education is not an indication of common sense.

Ok, here is a question that Obama will never answer. I have asked it again and again to his website and they have yet to answer me.

Where did you go to school BEFORE college? I want to know what you were raised on BEFORE college. What was your childhood life like what were you brought up to believe and to pray in? I don't want to know about your parents parents childhood, I want to know about yours!!!!

This is just too funny. Some of the statements are so ridiculous, it has to be a joke. Folks, you can't argue with ignorance and this is clearly a ploy to create negativity and stir up hatred for each other. God sees and knows all and as long as you are prepared to accept responsibility for statements and actions . . . go for it because you will have to pay for it.

To state that OB has deep connections with asians because his half sister is indonesian( this is from an article from Yahoo press) is trying to make a case in favor of him. In California the asians that mostly voted for Hillary Clinton are vietnamese and chinese. They are not muslim as the indonesians. And they are not sexist. The chinese may vote republican because they like order. So do the vietnamese but they had rather vote for Hillary. So the connections OB has with asians as suggested are not that deep because of differences of cultures, nothing to do with race. They believe in the culture of experience and they think OB is too inexperienced period. Tired of the media trying to pull the cover to their favored candidate.

Regarding the Center for Responsive Politics blurb, note that both Clinton and Obama have raised money for fellow democratic candidates (Obama has been more successful at it apparently!). Supporting the campaigns of fellow democrats is a way of supporting the party, and much of this support came before Obama even decided to run. In addition, note that Obama has raised more than twice as much money for superdelagates that have NOT expressed support for his candidacy than for those who have expressed support. Hard to argue from this that hey is buying off superdelegates.

— Since 2005, Obama’s committees gave $228,000 to superdelegates who have endorsed him, $363,900 to those who were still undecided, and $102,400 to those who have endorsed Clinton.
–Clinton’s committee’s gave $95,000 to superdelegates who have endorsed her, $88,000 to those who were still neutral, and $12,500 to those who have endorsed Obama.

This kind of action is Washington politicos at their worst. Patriotism is the farthest thing from their minds; the concept of it being a privilege and to serve your country instead of your cronies in way over their heads. WE NEED BARACK OBAMA TO END THIS NOW!!!

Obama has been buying off delegates and caucases across the country, right and left by contributing 4 times as much to their campaigns according to the center for responsive politics. And it's PACs that are finding it and all that is is money from Oprah and Will Smith and the like. They can contribute millions to Obama and they have. It's really criminal, the whole thing.

Do you know that Obama is being endorsed by the P.R. man for President Bush. I saw the article on MSN news. That's something to think about.

Forget the candidates "SLAMMING" each other. Politicians have always done that thru-out history. CITIZENS of the United States of America...PLEASE...Remember what's the candidates are "about". What they stand for. And from now on, people of the United States, hold our future Presidents and their Administrations accountable, to US. And not live in fear anymore, after having our Constitutional Rights stripped, by this current President and his Administration. I thought that crime doesn't pay? (We have been paying him a salary) I thought that violating an U.N. Charter was a crime? God help us for letting THIS current President get away with his crimes....We just sent a message to future Presidents that with money, you can do ANYTHING. Shame on us, and God help the future generations.

I remember the 2000 election. People said, G W Bush does not have experience, but his charisma is so great. I can drink a beer with him. Look at what talk without substance brought us here. 8 lost years.

Don't make a mistake again electing Obama based in his charisma. I listened to all his speeches and he uses a lot of common sentences but he is not addressing or saying how he will fix it. "We have to change", yes we can change to the good or to the bad. etc.......

Think twice before vote from Obama

Why are Obamanods crying foul YET AGAIN over nothing? There is nothing illegal about a 527. There is nothing hidden here, no secret. We all know who the people are behind it.

OK. It's only good when Obama's folks make up junk about Hilary. It's bad when Hilary uses real information against Obama. Heaven fobbid we do anything against our christ and savor lord Obama.

rhbate, you bring up a great point. At 60, Hillary should have 35 years of experience. The question is how many of those 35 years of experience was she accountable to voters? Let's do the math. She was elected for the first time to the Senate in 2000. That would give her 8 years of relevant experience.

Barack Obama's campaign has been financed by supporters donating $10, $50, and $100. Since Hillary hasn't been able to raise enough money to match Barack, she is replying on wealthy donors in this new 'swift boat' scheme.

When promise sound too good to be true, you have to immediately consider what's next right after sweet offer? sounds negitive for some people only know about dream, But this is also the wisdom people will learn from real life. Politician is no different.
In this race, Integrity is my first priority.

Mara - you said "Let me ask you hopeful people this: How is Obama going to clean up a corrupt government in 4-8 years? Do you guys not realize that he can't deliver even a TENTH of what he has promised you?"

How the heck do you expect to clean up a corrupt government WITHOUT ELECTING SOMEONE WHO SAYS THEY WILL TRY? You have to start somewhere. We aren't thinking that everyone will suddenly get along. But things will be a lot better with someone who sets a tone of cooperation than someone who fights bitterly with everyone that crosses her.

But what should we expect from supporters who applaud setting up an organization to get around campaign finance laws in order to sling mud at the opponent.

Where did Hillary get her so-called 35 years of relevant experience? She graduated law school at age 25, she is now 60. Do these "35 years of experience include the time she spent at the Rose Law Firm trying to make all the money she could? The time she spent at Wal-Mart fighting the employees' attempts to form a union? Or maybe it includes the time she spent working on the White Water land deal, or Travel Gate or the time she spent with Foster. As someone else said, "The truth and Hillary Clinton are complete strangers."

It's too bad for Obama that the throngs he is generating in Ohio and Texas had to register to vote by Feb 4. We won't see day of the vote registration by the slackers in these states.

Obama Supporter congress man on national television can't even name one accomplishment
...........

It got to be more serious than this - People just like the personality or attribute- nothing else and no accomplishments. Its pathetic some of these people show up for vote with out knowing anything and hearing to some media and talk show hosts know how to target audience. I prefer Clinton or McCain not the media favorites and talk show hosts (wish they could go back to B spears and others )

I guess the Clintons' have coined a new phrase for the ages- vetting out. It seesm that their self touted advantage is that their weakness should be cepted because they are well know; impeachment, . whitewater, lobbyists, dissembly, race baiting, divisiveness. Okay so they're "vetted"; does the fact that we know the horse is lame make her a favorite to win the race? If Obama's survived the campaign of personality assault so far, a clique of wealthy 527 henchmen isn't going to "vet" out any achilles heel that will cripple the once dark horse turned odds-on favorite down his home stretch.

Once again, all those HRC supporters who like to pull out the "experience" card have never actually compared the two on the issues. The fact is, Obama's ideas are innovative and work to solve the cause of our countries problems. Clinton's ideas are analagous to band-aids. Need I remind you, if a wound doesn't heal then a band-aid is bound to fall off. Stop telling me to "Wake up" from my Obama support! He is the only person that has the ability to lead this country out of the land of Bush despair. I ask you to "Wake up" and stop believing everything that Hillary tells you. Think for yourself!

hillary hasn't apologized for the war!

it's really that simple. had she done so when we all 'realized' (aka, 'woke up') it was a mistake she should have apologized.

too bad she is so stubborn and pig headed because she would have made a great president.

Ha Ha Ha - It is pretty funny watching the HRC supporters start to froth at the mouth... just like Hillary. You can just sense the level of desperation. This is not the kind of person who should be president. As far as McCain.. the press has been giving this guy a free ride. It's time to put the lights on him. There are so many Republican Obama supporters I know (The smart ones anyways)

Hillary's campaign can't raise enough money for this election, so she is now relying on outside sources to advertise for her. Sad.

This will backfire on Hillary. She has not been able to convince voters that she will be ready on day one. How are we supposed to believe that if her campaign hasn't been ready since day one? She is proving that she will say and do anything to win the nomination. What a pity.

Shame on you people just like the personality or attribute-

While Hillary has been working diligently on setting up her 527 to smear Barack Obama, he was winning his 11th primary in a row. The Democrats Abroad primary. Obama 65%, Clinton 32%. Picked up another 22 delegates.

Time is of the essence here. We need to stand up for this wonderful country.
Thank the Lord for this fantastic group of people who want to save this country for a debacle! I am impressed for their passion, intelligence and true creativity.
Obama get ready for REAL competition. I believe that he is a good success story; but from that to become the next President of the United States of America, there is a gap that only Hillary can fill. She is a woman with the intelligence, conviction, experience credentials and resolve that are required for the "job".
GO Hillary !!!

Come on media.... do your real job.... vet Obama.... and then make it public...stop protecting him until it's too late...

This is petty, dirty politics people. So we have to ask ourselves... do we want a politician or a president?

Do we want a politician who will so desperately attack? Or do we want a change?

Barackcrazies and Obamacrazies i think it is time to drop your craziness and face realities .Please stop being crazy and vote solutions rather than craziness.Vote Hillary to save you rather than Obama the author of craziness that will make you more crazy

527? !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! thank God at last someone is coming to rescue Hillary.No this has been unfair of the American Press this is bad!!!!!!!!!!!! CNN, NYT ETC. because we dont really know if to say that the American election is no more Obama for president but American press for president. I think we should say insted of Obama for president CNN for president or NYT for president

All you HRC supporters, you remember the proverb: A drowning [woman] clutches a straw. What is it HRC can deliver on that Obama cannot? America needs a new image. It has a lousy foreign policy at this time. I am sure Obama is the right person for to take care of that.

Of course there is a group formed outside all boundaries or ethics and accountability for Hillary. It's a Clinton signature.

Quick comment. Ironic note that it's through SPEECHES that Hillary decries SPEECHES over solutions. What solutions did she ever pull off, except to enable Bill"s philandering. If his career would go down, so would hers.

These are great questions posed by someone on another blog. " Questions for Hillary that will never be asked.

If you want the voters to rely on your White House experience why will you not have the records of your time in the White House released now?

If you want the voters to rely on your ability to manage money why will you not release your tax records now?

How can you guarantee the American Public that your new CoPresidency with Bill Clinton will not have as much indiscretion and scandal as your last?

I believe that Hillary took the 5th or did not remember, did not recall or did not know the answers to over 1000 questions during various investigations and grand juries she was summoned to attend during her years as CoPresident. That being true, I would also like the following question asked.
Mrs. Clinton, you did not remember, did not recall, did not know the answers to over 1000 questions regarding your time in the White House. How is it you remember all your experience in the 35 years since you graduated from college but could not remember what you did or what happened in the White House during the time you were there?

Have fun.

Finally, an organization goes to bat for Hillary. It's about time someone organized something big to counter all the crap Obama, his supporters, and the media have thrown our way.

Let me ask you hopeful people this: How is Obama going to clean up a corrupt government in 4-8 years? Do you guys not realize that he can't deliver even a TENTH of what he has promised you?

I believe in Obama because I believe in hope and change and Obama believes in hope and change. And if I believe in hope and he believes in hope then there must be hope for a better future and a better past and a better life.

Yes, I believe in Obama....

Well, for goodness sake, somebody needs to delve into the "real" Obama. So far the media has refused to do it. Now that they've almost succeeded in handing him the democratic nomination on a silver platter, they have set their sites on disparaging McCain with 10 year old allegations, while we still haven't penetrated the surface of the Obama facade. And as someone who would prefer a worker, like Hillary Clinton, in the White House over a smooth talker like Obama who's actions seems to contradict his words, I don't have a problem with it. Associates of his campaign have been running negative ads against Clinton via the 527s since before the Nevada Caucuses. I guess it's only news when someone other than Obama does it.

Here is an Obama accuracy. Obama says we must Change the Cast in Washington, because you can't get change with the same old players.

But he also says that he is the only one who can reach out to Republicans and Independents, and be a uniter to get things done.

Well Obama, which is it? Can you only get change by changing the "Cast"? Or, Can you get change by working with the people in Washington now.

Obamas supporters are blind to this obvious incompatibility in Obamas rhetoric.

Obama could say he just drowned a litter of kittens by throwing them over a bridge and his glassy eyed followers would still wildly cheer.

Here's another Obama hypocrisy. Obama sys he will start bombing Pakistan if Osama is found to be hiding in Pakistan’s mountains. Obama says if Pakistan is harboring terrorists, he will bomb it.

Yet, Obama claims he was against bombing Iraq from the git go, even though Sadaam was known to harbor and support terrorists, paid the families of suicide bombers, supported terrorists in Gaza, and Lebannon, had made threats against the west, and continually targeted allied aircraft in the no fly zone. It was also believed that Sadaam had WMD's, and he was known to use WMD's when he did have them.

Also, Pakistan is the ally of the US and the west, does not support terrorism, and has been instrumental in capturing terrorists, including 911 masterminds Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, Abu Zubaydah and terrorism suspect Ramzi bin al-Shibh.

Obama, who claims he did not support authorizing the use of force in Iraq, a country who's leader harbored terrorists and threatened the west, says he will bomb our ally Pakistan if Osama is found in the mountains. Even though it is known that Osama does not have WMD’s.

George Bush was wrong in the way he used the authorization from Congress. But Obama is wronger than wrong, and a hypocrite.

Obama is wrong on how and when to fight terrorism, wrong on immigration, and wrong to steal Hillary Clintons positions on health care, education and the economy.
