Clinton's Poverty Czar Proposal

Where is Obama's plan? What kind of accomplishments has he done to American thru his life?

With his little experience and his little accomplishments, how can he be entitled to be CIC for the most powerful country???

He is unelectable is not because he is black, is because he has no background and experience to earn such honorable title.

If Colin Power runs for president, more people will vote for him... He is much more prominent figure from AA...

Obama is not even one tenth of Power in terms of experience and leadership...

I got the feeling that Obama supporters will just die if Edwards throws his support behind Hillary. This irrational behavior of the Obama supporters is very very unhealthy.
They need to get a grip of themselves!

In case you have not figured it out by now, Obama is the weakest of all the candidates still running for the office. His numbers are up there because the media is propping him up for now.

Raising and spending the most money does not mean a thing in the general election. There is no amount of lip stick you put on a pig, it's still a pig.

I said in a earlier blog that Edward's would be perfect for FIMA and it could put an enfaces on poverty. If she want a czar, Edward's would be perfect. I also said I have a feeling Edward's wants to endorse Clinton. He needs to do it before PA.

So Hilliary's answer is create ANOTHER government program, on top of the myriad of other government programs to curb poverty. Uh, how she will pay for this (printing money) is going to cause inflation which will cause more employers to NOT hire, while devaluing the purchasing power of the money they do have. Typical, empty, vapid "idea", to fix a problem that makes it only worse, and restricts what can be done for you, on the whim of the BIG government BEAST!

Dear Moderate Dems.
What we have got to face is-the far right has had the media people doing their bidding for a long time
so the dems had to come up with media to counter that-this maybe why we have cnn in obama's coat pocket.
What we mod. dems will need to do is get the independent party up and going strong-and get rid of these partisian
crazies. Moderation in all things is the best way.
in my view what we always get with the far right is war and poverty.
what we always get with the far left
is poverty-poor people get poorer
and the far left does whatever they can to help them....get poorer.

Well, Lou, your comments further cement my support of Senator Obama!

If Faux News is not supporting him, he must be the best person for the job!!!

Obama 2008 -- Yes, WE CAN!!!

Wow! Is the "Poverty Czar" to Poverty, what the "Drug Czar" is to Drugs?

Because, really, the various Drug Czars since that became the "thing to do" have done little to change things, and what they have done has often been draconian in nature!

More of the same old, same old ideas! How about trying something new!

Obama 2008 — Yes, WE CAN!!!

Senator Clinton speech about MLK in Memphis, TN, on the 40th anniversary of the assassination of Martin Luther King Jr. was powerful and moving.

If she would give more speechs like that, she would have been way ahead of Obama.

I continue to be puzzled about the media support of obama, while blatantly trashing Clinton and McCain.
Chris Matthews on air, was asked for backup on a comment made by obama, and Matthews'response was that he would check obama's "scripture". Really!
I have also switched to Fox News because I feel they are the most centered in their reporting. Fox News IS NOT IN LOVE WITH OBAMA AND FOX NEWS DOES NOT HAVE VISIONS OF OBAMA AS THE MESSIAH. Fox News sees him for what he is, a politician and nothing more.
It would be a good idea if everyone recognized this.
If obama gets the nomination, it will surely be the end of the democratic party. McCain will win by a landslide. Obama will kill his political career. Clinton will survive and will be offered and very powerful position in Washington and will continue to work for the people of the USA.
Obama is history. Thanks to the media and the cult followers who label obama the saviour.
What a terrible election process and what a terrible candidate. A snake oil salesman that is capturing the minds of the weak. He offers Hope and Change and is not capable of actually making either happen.
What a pathetic nation the USA has become. We allow the media to elect our president, we allow the media to imply he is a holy person, we allow the media to make personal and terrible comments about Geraldine Ferraro, while obama made the exact same statement to the Chicago Tribune several years ago. Where is the fairness in this? Why has it become so acceptable for the obama campaign to turn this race into a racial issue and be allowed to get away with it. Why is it acceptable to allow the media to influence a person's voting thoughts in such a flaunting manner? I am so sick of the media particularly MSNBC, Keith Olbermann and of course the body tingling Chris matthews. Where in the world did this person come from? Are we sure he isn't related to Adolf Hitler?

oh my god, Echo,
I had signed off to listen to sen clintons speech at the mason temple.
I just signed on-and was about to write just what you have written.

Obama will be copying her sooner that
48 hours.

It is is so funny.-one of those funnies that you start laughing and end up crying-because so many people have fell for this guy-and think he has the substance to be president.
because he has such a short politcal resume' all his surrogates, the media, and his supporters can do is tear down her history of work.
but her record will always stand.
this woman has done some good work for this country, and no amount trash talking, character destroying by obama surrogates, supporter, and the media will change that.

When Juan Williams even understands why Obama's electability died at his church.

I'm not a big fan of Hillary but this is an excellent idea. She is obviously trying to appeal to Edwards but it is a throwback to LBJ's War on Poverty and Great Society programs. For those haters out there, just because your candidate didn't think of a good idea doesn't mean it isn't GOOD just grow up already geeze. Oh and SoliderMan, they have been talking about social work for young people, not just Obama. However, I don't understand how their suggestions are anything different from Americorps, Teach for America, etc?

Great idea. She really needs a poverty czar for her campaign; it's practically bankrupt.

You can count on Obama to COPY this one too...maybe say within the next 48 hours

SEB, I do too. But I think the Edwards may wait and throw their support once the nomination process concludes for the sake of unity.

Hillary is proving everyday that she is on point with what matters to Americans- THE ECOMONY. If Obama ends up the Dem nominee-- you can bet many Clinton supporters will write her name on the ballot and cast their vote for Clinton. How can any American vote for Barack--who attends such a prejudice and un-American church?!! I can not stomach it. The media may try and shove Obama into being the nominee but true Americans will vote otherwise.

It's funny, but even though I am a democrat, this election cycle I also started watching Fox (along with the other cable news networks) for the first time. I am not denying they don't have conservative spin, but they are up front about it and present their editorializing as such. MSNBC, on the other hand, has seriously made me sick to my stomach. They have turned into an unabashed Obama propoganda machine.
I also wish there would be more reporting on the Rezko connection. One of Rezko's business partners, Auchi, embezzled from the UN's oil for food program. This week, Auchi severed his ties with Rezko, but earlier, he gave him a $3.5 million loan. Where did that money go? For Obama's house?
I also wish the news would report on Obama's book Dreams of My Father. There are some very worrisome statements he makes in there that cast a different light on his friendships with Wright and others.

Before appointing a poverty czar, perhaps she should pay her campaign bills to small business, schools, and charity organizations.

By the way, this election is not about Black versus White, it is about American citizens getting involved in government and taking it back from the special interests. I'm a white republican who donated to OBAMA in March. It is only my second donation to a candidate ever (my last was to Senator Fitzgerald (R) of Illinois, another independent thinker who tried to make Washington better during his term). I hope that I can volunteer this year for OBAMA for President.
