Bill Clinton Won't Campaign for Obama Until After Jewish Holidays

Coachbarbee, you need to check around a bit and see what kind of "gutter politics" McCain-Palin have been facing from Obama and his "henchmen".

Fair-minded, intelligent people can feel that Obama is in no way qualified to be President and that McCain is. It's that simple.

Good plan, Bill. All the back-stabbing you're planning to do is pasul (completely un-kosher)

I am confused by a couple of the posts above. Obviously this thread is frequented by some wack jobs, but really--"Obama has shown himself not to be the man we need for this office"?....REALLY? I won't go into the gutter politics that Karl Rove's henchman has sunk the McCain campaign into. I won't discuss the "hail mary" passes he's been throwing the last month to attempt to keep the nation divided and distracted while he hopes for a miracle. I'll simply point you to an Obamam campaign and a candidate that has withstood a massive negative advertising campaign from one of the most well funded candidates ever (Hillary) and the negative vibes from her and her still popular former president husband. I'll point you to the perseverence and lack of animosity that he has displayed in public and apparently in private (no leaks) over the last several months of what has had to be an exhausting campaign that, according to Karl Rove and George Will themselves, has gotten too nasty and desperate from McCain. Compare the vp picks. Palin? Even Peggy Noonan calls her vapid and a cynical pick. Biden? Obama went with a guy who he knew had experience--more than him--on foreign affairs (he's the chair of that committee, not McCain) and financial (he used to be on that committee). Biden can put his foot in his mouth, but Obama picked him for his EXPERTISE and INTELLIGENCE....folks, I know things have gotten really stupid in washington the last eight years, and that GW has made people think being smart is bad, but look what that has given us. We reap what we sew, and we have sewn the wind--we're reaping a whirlwind. We need a steady hand, a keen intellect, a person who will work with all sides. McCain? hardly. His latest grandstand (shutting down the campaign?) to go to Washington....roundly decried and derided by BOTH sides of the aisle. They already had most of an agreement worked out. McCain doesn't even serve on those committees and has admitted the economy isn't his strong suit. What's he DOING there? And he crassly stole Obama's thunder after Obama was man enough to reach out yesterday and suggest they go on tv together to talk about this.....my god, people, please pay attention.

I was a huge Hillary supporter but think it was wrong of her not to go to the anti-Iran rally. The Democrats - lead by Obama - pressured the organizers to disinvite Palin by threatening an IRS investigation of their non-profit group.

Chicago politics on a national level - is this the change we need?

In some parts of the world many of the people are only beginning to learn about real democracy and how to govern themselves.

Those struggling lands are full of young people just beginning to understand how education and modern tools can help make a safe, free economy with good rules, so that poverty, sickness, ignorance, and crime may no longer thrive.

To them I say: I hope your suffering population can value patience, because democracy is better than guns, better than dictatorship, those false expedients. Democracy is worth the wait and difficulty. I hope your people find time honored ways in your own culture to better yourselves, because the quality of a democracy is only as good as its citizens, a quality you can see in how people treat each other.

Oh angry lands! To them I say: I hope you learn to love (or at least tolerate) the different tribes and beliefs among yourselves.

To those waste and war threatened lands I say: I hope your citizens can share power by having fair elections. I hope you pick the finest characters to lead and the most skilled legislators to design your laws. I hope you strive to keep your laws and your judges free of partisanship and ideology, accepting this necessary and difficult task unceasingly. I hope you forever respect your statesmen, and recognize them as the ones who in every vote and every election, win or lose, are always faithful to the legitimacy and mediating power of your Constitution.

I hope the troubled tribes of the world can find peace within and among themselves. I hope they never give up on lofty dreams, nor lack in practical diligence. Above all, I hope they have courage, against their own fear and anger, to avoid the low emotions, the unmanly and animal panic that drives people and governments into endless cycles of paranoia and war.

Consider the above a message in a bottle washed up on the beach. The address and the return address are the same: the United States of America. The P.S. says simply, Ever faithful. Peace.

yea Jewish people ran the Hillary office in my area of NC they didnt trust Obama

If Obama thinks he's doing well with Jewish voters, he's delusional. The media might have you think he's got a significant Jewish following, but consider the source. Most Jews don't trust a man with long histories with hateful and anti-Israeli friends and associates.

I can only think that Bill Clinton would campaign for Obama is for reasons That go beyond normal politics.

With Mr Obama being entangled in The DNC/Chicago Machine merge, seems Threats, intimidation or some other low life tactics used by Obama campaign would be forcing Bill's hand into campaigning for Obama.

More is going on Behind the scenes of the obama campaign than meets the eye.

Bill should wait until Nov 5th before starting to campaign for Obama. It is plain to see Obama is not the right person for the job of President of the United States.

Mara...you are very welcome...the truth will out.

To me, doesn't matter if she got an A+ in Journalism(which is what she took) I took that as well.
It does in no way educate you to be VP nor President.
That being said, I don't believe anything in this world prepares you to be the head of a powerful country like the USA.

Since she could not think on her feet with Katie Couric and give specifics as to things McCain has done to reform or regulate in the last 26 years and saying "I will find some and get back to you" is not thinking on your feet, or just parroting McCain on getting back to someone on how many homes he has.

Now they wish to delay the VP debate, does that seem someone is concerned if she can not handle Katie, she will not handle a real hard question and answer?

Sorry, off topic for this venue, but just thought I would inform.

Bev: Thanks - I couldn't find Sarah Palin's transcripts and I don't thnk they will be released, but she did say that she got a D in macroeconomics as an undergrad. I guess she thought it wouldn't matter too much.

I Am So I Can: Yep - I sure do know who Lady DE Rothschild is and where she stands on the Forbes 450. I believe that would put her in the class of "Fat Cats" who John McCain had such disdain for this week. I believe he said those greedy Fat Cats caused this economic crisis. But that was Tuesday, wasn't it? And today is Thursday. Remind me again, which day was it that John McCain said that the economy was just fine? That's right - that was Monday. Before his running mate said that we are going to have the biggest economic crisis since the Great Depression? And how many weeks has it been since Phil Gramm, John McCain's close economic advisor and friend said that the problems with the economy were "mental" and John McCain's solution had something to do with Ebay?

Oh and as to the with honors question for Obama...
Here you go...
Obama:finished in the top ten percentile in his high school of 3600.
Graduated Magna Cum Laude...that is what you needed?

Is that enough HONORS???

Obama/Biden 2008

Samantha, I am so sorry - I thought you would like it. It's the way that gal Sarah often opens her speeches. Usually it's "guys and gals." Just think... she may be the next President of the United States and you'll get to hear it all the time. "guys and gals, i've just decided to bomb russia because it is a task from the Lord.

And I don't care if you are black, white or green. Also I don't recall mentioning that Obama graduated with honors. I said he made it into Harvard Law - without affirmative action and without legacy. And I would love to see Sarah Palin's grades if someone can produce them.

Oh and "Lady DE Rothschild" called people who cling to guns and religion..."You know, those Rednecks."
She said it on tv about 5 days ago and said she left supporting Obama because she believed he was an elitist....and she isn't??????

Just my freedom of speech again.

Obama/Biden '08

Mara...you might as well give it up trying to correct or convince anyone here about your ideas or knowledge(they can look it up themselves and believe or not)

If you know the truth, then you are all that matters.

Some people have the knowledge of all things imagined and believe what they are going to believe.

Some could see it face to face and swear it was their lying eyes.

So, everyone agree to disagree and matters not what gets posted here(my post included) freedom of speech comes at a cost, and everyone pays the price.

Good luck to you all.

Oh, and anyone here can look up Palin's college records and Obama's and McCain's records...just do your homework...I did.

If McCain treats Peggy Hill like a child with his obsessive protectiveness, why should anyone else take her seriously.

"I was a Hillary supporter that will not vote for Obama. That goes for about 10 members of my family." You're the best, Samantha! Hugs from Chicago!

samantha

and at columbia as he writes in his book he was sortof drifting and experimented with drugs... I dont care if thats normal now I never touched it and I resent people saying that it is

Debra

I think they will get what they deserve if the electoral colllege is split and Palin becomes VP because Cheney will cast the deciding vote...they wil rue the day that they ever jumped ahead of the process where Clinton would run first and Obama is young enough to run in 2012 or 2016
