Kissimmee, Kate! -- Bill Clinton Heralds Obama's 'Do' List; How Obama Called the Clintons to 'Understand' the Financial Crisis

Greg h,

What President doesn't consult his advisors at all? It's not like he asked Bill to make the decision for him, he was just getting a feel of stuff from different opinions, he took all this into consideration, then outlined what stance he was going to take.

Obama has shown himself to make, calm, informed decisions unlike McCain who went flailing all the way to D.C and proposing to cancel the debate only to do a one-eighty. Reports from Dems and Repubs there say McCain didn't contribute anything and sat there quietly for forty minutes while Obama was asking questions.

Apparently McCain pulled that stunt on the advice of his campaign advisors. It tells me something that some of the people he pick aren't exactly good examples of great judgement.

Laura,

Go to factcheck.org. They have a nice, big photo of the official seal and the photographs of the cert taken from different angles for you.

How is it you think e-mails are a reliable source? It puzzles me.

Honestly, does it makes sense that the state would not even check the eligibility of someone running to be President when they are going to have to expend resources like Secret Service protection for him?

Grey Matter ,

You elect Presidents to make executive decisions and not be weak and indecisive consulting others.

Clinton confirmed that Obama was rather clueless and asking his help to understand the financial crisis.

What America does not need is another carter in the white house.

I would like to know why the issue of Obama’s birth certificate is not talked about on your show or any show. I get emails on this subject all the time stating that 7 states have filed writs demanding that Obama produce his birth certificate and that Hawaii is one of those states. I have received emails suggesting that the real reason he suspended his campaign and went to Hawaii was not to visit his sick grandmother but to fight the demand for him to produce his birth certificate. By the way, how is his sick grandmother? I have also received emails stating that he has produced a birth certificate but there was not an official seal or that it did not state the hospital where he was born or his weight and height. This should be an issue that is resolved BEFORE the election. This seems like it would be a reporters dream not only to uncover whether or not he is a natural born citizen but to uncover the “so-called Democratic Party” which should be called the “Socialist Party”. If nothing else, I think that it should be acknowledged on the television and radio that this issue does exist.

Thank you for listening to me

Laura

geevill,

Treatment? Yes it got dirty at times, if anything, it was the MEDIA who might have been derogatory towards Clinton, not Obama himself being sexist. To her credit, Hillary did not scream sexism but shrugged it off. That's a real female politician.

I will ask you one more time, Clinton stands for everything McCain is against and Obama is for. Roe v Wade. Iraq. Healthcare. How can you support McCain? HOW is McCain going to pay for all his programs?

I'm sorry, but I don't take Sarah Palin, who has demonstrated her lack of intelligence and worse, intellectual incuriousity as a substitute or anywhere near Clinton's equal. She is not on the same level as women like Hillary, Condi, Kay Bailey Hutchison or Snowe. She is NOT.

skinny dog,

McCain: There's NO history of violence between Shiite and Sunni!

Reality: Civil war in Iraq between these two groups until the stop-gap surge managed to tamp it down.

McCain: Ahmadinejad controls ALL the power in Iran!

Reality: The theocracy and descendents of the Ayatollah Khomeini and other religious clerics have even more influence then Ahmadinejad.

McCain: Iraq is the terror front!

Reality: Petraeus, Powell and all the other military commanders say it's Afghanistan and Pakistan.

McCain: We can just muddle through Afghanistan.

What does this show ab out his thinking? It shows he's careless AND callous. And doesn't know a single thing about REALITY.

of course it would not be that way,
all of the particulars involved in whatever the crisis will be notified.

the question is Who does john Mccain call?

Palin? George W. bush? Cheney?

"You know what he did?" Clinton said, heralding Obama's reaction to the financial crisis. "First he took a little heat for not saying much. I knew what he was doing. He talked to his advisers – he talked to my economic advisers, he called Hillary. He called me. He called Warren Buffet. He called all those people, you know why? Because he knew it was complicated and before he said anything he wanted to understand."

Got that?

We have a phony Liar who knows no ####.

When the Liar 0bama did not needed the former Pres, and used him against his wife, the Liar said the Clinton Administration and the Bush Administration were the same. And, he race-baited the poor Pros.

Now he needs the former Pres. to rescue his convention, what is calling him now?

Greg h,

Yeah, I'd rather someone like McCain who doesn't even bother check the facts (saying he opposed the bailout when he hadn't even read the then 3 PAGE LONG plan), and presses the button without a second thought.

6.A.M: Russia declares the start of the Second Cold War in the face of American nuclear missiles leaving a huge smoking crater in the middle of their country.

No cliff,

I think it was the republicans, george bush, henry paulson, who delivered the crap to us.

So assuming Obama is in the white house, he has a emergency call at 3 a.m.

Instead of making a decision, he calls Buffet, Pelosi, Clinton etc..

And this makes Obama a great candidate?

It is laughable that this guy Obama is even considered for the presidency.

well geevil,
good for you, you are going to vote for mccain.

I am an diehard hillary supporter,
and was plugging for her all the way during the primary. but since the convention, and hillary endorsement of obama, I am still with supporting hillary in her support for obama.
she is up close and personal with him'
hillary' my eyes and ears to obama.
and i always believed hillary had my best interest at heart- and when it comes to a choice between mccain and obama, i through hillary believe obama has my best interest at heart.

i do not make over 250k nor am i a bigwig with a corp.
i am a small business owner, and i will still fare better with obama.

anyone who is a supporter of hillary and what she stands for-will clearly see between obama and mccain
obama wins hands down.

noway, no how", no mccain-HRC dnc convention 2008

geevill,

Okay, Hillary is pro-choice, yet you're okay with a ticket that wants to overturn Roe v Wade by appointing to more conservative US Supreme Court Justices to an already lopsided conservative Supreme Court Justice bench?

Hillary would sooner we got out of Iraq, McCain wants to stay and bleed us of $10 billion per month.

Hillary thinks we need to fix the broken health care system, and NOT by having privatization or giving everybody $5000 health care credits (which can't even pay for one plan).

McCain wants to do all this wonderful stuff, but HOW is he going to pay for it if he's not raising taxes for ANYONE?

geevil,

obama didn't call joe biden, because joe was right there with him.

all of you people calling for tapes and such.

you don't even believe the people when they are standing there live talking in real time.

If you believe bill clinton,
then you will see why when bill has a choice between voting for obama or voting for mccain.
bill will be voting for obama.

I wonder when they are going to release the take of obama' long lost dog "BARKIE" barking for joe the plumber?

geevill,

What Michelle tape?

Can you please be logical, is it not possible that he consulted BOTH Biden and Clinton?

I think McCain, in his mind, doesn't respect Sarah Palin's opinion, and probably doesn't even bother consult her, probably why some of her responses about Pakistan were "off" and they told her to retract her statement. What does THAT say?

"come on now, you were going to vote for mccain at any rate.'

I was going to vote for Clinton, unless she chose Obama as VP. Obama supporters have lost more votes for him than they can ever imagine.

Why did Obama allegedly call Clinton (probably didn't) and not Joe Biden?????

How about that Michelle tape being played soon!

easye,
of course, bill is more of a statesman, and he should be, and thank god that this country and obama have him, and others like hime to go to if need be.
A good president will always rely on the good sound advice from former presidents. my question to you, easye,
Who does mccain have to go to? because he sure should have gone to that person, before he picked palin.
no mccain THINKS he is the statesman, and therefore does not need to seek advice from anyone else, (a bad way to think for a president-george w, was the same way. or he just let cheney do the thinking for him-still bad)

mccain supported bush 90 percent of the time. we don't need to take a chance that mccain will go to george w in the slightest for advise about anything.
it maybe too late, because mccain hired the same people who sacked his campaign for president against bush in 2000. so he is already taking advice from bush people, we cannot take that chance.

mccain going to george w. for advice
against
obama going to bill c. for advice.

who do you think the ocuntry will be better off with?
----------

and geevil-bill clinton convienced you to vote for mccain-come on now, you were going to vote for mccain at any rate.
mccain gives more deer in the headlight looks that any of the four of them.
just last night on larry king with cnn,
he had several.
and with tom brokaw he had several.
I think his are more-"senior moments"
rather than deer in the headlight looks.

Corey B,

McCain has yet to show me how his experience has enhanced his judgement.

Obama may not be as experienced, but he HAS shown he has the intelligence and temperament to be president, and he picked a good-back up and confidant, Joe Biden.

I have to admit I almost pity Sarah Palin. I can see McCain picked her only to win the election and to draw crowds- which for all her failings, she manages to do, unlike McCain- he has no intention of giving her a role in policy making. She's going to be relegated to a ceremonial role, and I can't see her liking that much.
