Thank g-d there is at least one classy candidate in this race. Nice job, Barack.

Yes, Bill Clinton was against Iraq from beginning, just like he didn't inhale, just like he didn't have sex with that woman, Miss Lewinsky. Why in the world does this man have credibiilty on anything?

I'm glad Obama has gone on record about this. The whole thing *has* played out entirely in the media and has unfairly painted the Obama campaign as playing a victim. Obama has tried hard to stay above the fray while the Clintons have distorted his record. But he knows as well as we do that they're not racist, just very clumsy.

Obama has my out right respect! He had class and honor. Sticks to the issues. May God bless him and his family! Obama 08!

That's what bothered me about Hillary's comments as well. People seem to be ignoring that she was dissing JFK as well. So I don't think it was racially motivated so much as just plain wrong.

Well done, once again, Senator!

Obama, thank you for rising above petty bickering!

There you go Barack...your attack dogs stir up there racial controversy and the you come afterwards withe a nice comment to show the issue is behind you. What a clever sneaky and calculated politician are you? uh-huh.
You are dishonest man!

Damn, he's good.

Yes, they are fundamentally different, which is why she is obsessed with promoting herself as a leader and he as a uniter, a coalition builder. His response to Billary is very presidential. It takes a very self-confident person not to go OFFFFF.

"This is coming from a former president who suggests that he was and nobody can find any record of it," he said.

hahahahahaha!!! I'm dyyyyyyyyyying!!!! LOL

Well, it took a little time to hear from him, but it was worth the wait. Great response!

pure class, with a little humour/dig thrown in at the end. if only this was the normal level of discourse in American politics. after all of this nonsense over the past few days, its the perfect response. good for you, Mr. Obama.

Obama is a calculated, fake, masterminded politician, very disciplined and well coached by the same people he is saying he is going to fight. I don't trust that man. He is a risk so are his "cult" followers that are supporting him without relaly even getting to know the man well.
He will do more damage to the Democratic party, because he is deceiving us all. SHAME SHAME OBAMA!

Obama is a crook politician like many before him. He plays the race card now and try to blame on the other.
What a shame. I always voted for Dem I will vote for GOP if he get nominated

Get a life people ... everyone gets offended because someone says something that is taken way out of context. Politicians can say something without publicly saying it. Obama is just playing politics behind the scenes .. and fooling the American people...don’t be naive .. Our country's future depends on it

Obama does is not unique - he does not stand for anything but himself and it is ashame the people of America are going to be fool again like they were fooled when Busg was elected....

why is the mainstream media continuing to mis-characterize prez clinton's comments?...the "fary tale" he spoke of was not obama's candidacy, but his record on the iraq war...it is clear in the quote, when examined in context...what is happening with the press?...but then again, these reprters ore the ones who stood up at bush's final press conference before invading iraq and dutifully read their submitted questions...without a vibrat, truthful and hard-working 4th eastate, the democracy is #######..sigh...keep it up kids...

Also, if you look at what has been said over and over again during these past months; The Clinton's have been telling us that Barack Obama, isn't good enough to represent any race, or class of people. That is why this is so disheartening, the since of her” Entitlement."

We don't owe anyone our vote, you must first earn it! This is how the American people are being pushed into voting for the Clinton's. What was done in the past is just that, the past! What matter now is what you have done Lately! We need to know Hillary’s experience now, and not Bill’s experience back then in the 1990’s.

Has Hillary made any major changes since she has been in the "Senate" now! However she did vote for the Iraq war and the Iran resolution, what bills has she passed that has helped the American people within the last 7 years? What makes you think that anything will change, does she have the ability to work across party lines?

From what I see so far from Hillary is that we are “Being had,” all talk and no action. So my point is this “We the People of the United States of America,” must judge for ourselves and not what anyone is willing to say, or do to get elected.

So, Hillary if we don't have unity instead we will still have division, and then what good would it do to elect you?

Now, if Obama can bring about change then we are better off going with a new way of thinking instead of having the same old thing and expecting different results equal the definition of Stupidity!

As, to race and the gender card being played it has been played all along by the Hillary Clinton. Example: “I am a woman, I sorry that you don't like me, crying to get votes in New Humphries, I’ve been vetted, and the list goes on and on” What does that say about what you are willing to do to get elected, at any cost? Remember there isn’t any crying in politics; just simply state your case and move on! Let us make our own choice, stick to the facts and stop the BS’!

Barack OBAMA, he's smart, speaks well, inspirational, educated, young, black, but ask yourself this, does he point this out himself, our do we! He has never mentioned these things only other have.

That is what the Clinton campaign is "Afraid” of! That you will take the time to look at him, and see what is really wrong with American, because he doesn't fit the stereotype of what White America really thinks about Black people!

This is the fear that the Clinton campaign is afraid of, that we will see this in them. That is why they have been visage in attacking Barack Obama, and they are trying to dismiss him, and all of his accomplishment.

So don’t be fooled by the Clinton’s or Karl Rove, they are both using the same playbook. “Attack, Attack, Attack, Dismiss, Dismiss, Dismiss, Blame, Blame, Blame, Destroy Destroy Destroy, Defeat, Defeat Defeat”! Then we the people LOOOOSE!!!!!

So, I ask you again; we are free to choose the candidate of our own choice, but don't be fooled by what you see, or hear the Clinton's say they can’t be trusted. Bill Clinton, hasn't never been a black president for black people, but rather the president of the United States of America. That “IS” the same opportunity that Barack Obama is asking of us too!

We don’t need petty insults of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr, or of any other person who was willing to lay their life on the line for America to achieve the “Dream of Equality of all its people, Black, White, Brown, Asian, Women and Children”!

To add food for thought; Perhaps we all need to look deep within our own hearts and ask ourselves the one major burning question. Why would you first of all be so disrespectful to someone whom only wants to have a seat at the table? Barack Obama, no doubt must be pretty important.

The movement of inspiration of change and hope that he brings, I would contributed this to his up bring, teaching, character, and his abilities to inspire others by the message of hope, that he now brings us. You see he is living the dream!

What compassion and strong conviction he must have to put himself, and his family out their for so many people to look at. That takes courage and the willingness of sacrifice that he wants to bring about “Change like so many others that came before him!”

He isn’t an empty suit as others have suggested; but rather most importantly enough a “Man” that has the courage to run for president, and to give apart of himself too, and for others.

He has instead demonstrated these gifts of service through his community outreach efforts, community organizer, and his works within the Illinois house of legislation, and now a State Senator. He has achieved many great accomplishments and will continue to achieve greater successes.

But, one thing that I do know; If you allow fear to rule your mind and your hearts, you will never be able to appreciate the efforts of others. “The goal for each individual is to give more than you take from this life, and not the other way around.” And lastly and more importantly: “Dare to Dream” Barack Obama for president of the United States of America!

Well, I hope I get the chance to vote for him. We need a whole new way of doing things in Washington D.C. and I'm confident he will appoint people just like JFK did -- "the best and the brightest".

Hillary and Bill Clinton are 2 con artists, portraying themselves to be allies of the Black community when in fact they have done no more than any other Democrat to support Black causes.

I recall that under his Administration, in 1993, the nation got its criminal crime bill that has caused the incarceration of millions of young black men due to unfair sentence guidelines regarding crack and powder cocaine. Under his administration, poor black women became the victim of Welfare Reform and dead end jobs while corporate welfare escalated. In addition, in an effort to show his military muscle, be illegally bombed Iraq and a Sudanese pharmaceutical plant. Inspired by corporate influence, he decimated the businesses of several Caribbean islands when he used the power of his presidency to transfer European markets for Caribbean bananas to Chiquita Brands, a major supporter of his campaign. He refused to intervene during the Rwanda genocide during which millions were killed and/or displaced. He did not support Lani Guinier, his nomination for the Assistant Attorney General for Civil Rights, and the hypocrite fired Joycelyn Elders for speaking candidly about human sexuality.
Since throwing her hat into the race for president, Hillary Clinton has adopted the same, "I am Black and I feel your pain" nonsense as her spouse. Throughout his days in the White House and the US Senate, she has failed to politically demonstrate any real concern for issues facing Black people or Africans throughout the Diaspora. In contrast, during each debate, she attempts to come across as being more "black" than Obama, which I find offensive.

She, like her husband, has done nothing of value to earn the consistent loyalty and respect of black people. Moreover, while she is comfortable going to a black church, hugging black politicians and ministers, misquoting SoJourner Truth and making references to the historical oppression of Black people, such symbolic gestures should not be misinterpreted to mean that Hillary is a political ally of Blacks or Africa
