I ask the question: Who is Hillary without Bill? Hillary espouses her 35 years of experience, but those 35 years of experience were gained by riding the coattails of her husband. Hillary was the wife of the Arkansas Attorney General, the wife of the Arkansas Governor, and the wife of the President of the United States. No Arkansas resident could to into New York and win as Senator without ever having lived there unless she had the benefit and influence of the sitting President who won New York in the Presidential election. Everything that Hillary has accomplished over the past 25 to 30 years has come because her husband has paved the way for her through his position. Anybody can accomplish a lot in 35 years if the state Atty General, Governor, and President are paving the way for you. If Hillary believes that she has the experience and the right to be President, then I would like to see her do it on her own without Bill again paving the way. Again I ask: Who is Hillary without Bill?

Why didn't he talk more about his church? The church that preaches Black Power and hates white people? His minister said whites were to blame for 9/11 and libels Israelis. His church named Farahkan man of the year 2007. Why no mention of that, Barack?

I just read in the paper an article and injected was a quote from a Republican strategist saying they are fearful of the Clintons in the general election. He said the Clintons know how to win elections.

The Republicans are doomed if Hillary Clinton wins the nomination.

I see how it works with media people: If Barack Obama criticizes the Clintons, he is "pushing back," but if the Clintons criticize Obama, they are "attacking" Obama.

Well, now that we know the rules America's media people have established for the Democratic primary, maybe we will learn to disregard anything and everything these goons have to say.

Here's what Obama said:

"I think it’s fair to say that the Republicans were the party of ideas for a pretty long chunk of time there over the last 10-15 years in the sense that they were challenging conventional wisdom."

Now, that sounds like he thinks more highly of Republicans than he does of Democrats.

Remind me: which political party's nomination is it that Obama is seeking, the Democratic Party's or the Republican Party's?

Maybe Obama is flirting with this country's arch conservatives for their support. Oh, yes, now I remember, that's EXACTLY what he was doing when he uttered that statement.

No, she just sends our former president out to do the dirty work for her. Wake up.

How can Obama be part of the large Democratic party and then claim he is not part of the Status Quo. If Obama means what he says he should run as a Independent.

What I see Obama doing now is getting some ink and some air time. I have no doubt that the Clintons would love him to be quiet--until he has to respond to one of their dirty tactics. Obama needs to take it to the Clintons--they are vulnerable as agents of the past, and they are vulnerable as dirty players. He should also play the age card, as Hillary played the race card against him. He can do it by talking about the courage to change the old ways, which is a theme that appeals to younger voters--and older voters who consider themselves 'young thinking'. He should take on some of Hillary's older supporters--Albright, for example, on an issue--just an issue. But the impression left in voters' minds will be,'tired and old versus young and visionary'. There are many women who say, in code, that they're supporting Hillary because she is a woman. He should take issue with some of them. He will never get the female chauvanist vote, but pointing out that it exists--for Hillary--will attract droves of men, and many women who don't want to be seen as biased, when the country has worked so hard to overcome bias. Then, he should force Hillary to comment on her record--she stammered badly when she was forced to explain herself. She has a dismal record of actually authoring bills in Congress. In his shorter time there, Obama has authored and passed many more relevant bills than Hillary. The response to the 'empty suit' tag is that Hillary is---as she really has been as a Senator--a 'do-nothing'. In short, Obama needs to keep up the vitality of his message, but he needs to be the 'giver', not the 'taker' of headline-grabbing statements and events for a while.

I agree that Obama is running on empty gas & promises. I have worked in civil rights issues for almost 20 years as an activist. Obama's speeches are typical of our great civil rights leaders, yet the great difference is that our great civil rights leaders, WALKED THE WALk and not just TALKED the TALK. It is an outright insult to have heard Obama's speech in Ebnezer, hearing him preach about stopping homophobia in our community when he is openly campaigning with and endorsed by TWO anti-gay preachers, Donnie McClurkin and Kirbyjon Caldwell. Not only that, his "bipartisanship" government, Reagan admiration, his lack of reaching out to minorities on a national scale (other than a podium) is just revolting to me. And I agree with many commenters stating he should have run as a Republican or Independant. Obama is an insult to the Democratic party.

All this fuss and they'll be on the same ticket. Hillarious!

It is quite interesting, the way people talk about the politicians.Barrack or Hillary are both good candidates for the democratic realm of governments for Americans. Their statements does not qualify and will not justify thier action, when they finally make it to the white house. All we need as Americans is to ask God to help us elect the right fit for us all.

I am so sick and tired of Obama's empty slogans. He can fool some of the people some of the time, but he can't fool all the people all the time.
If Obama wins the Democratic nomination, the Republicans are going to tear him to shreds. They have enough material to do that : Obama's lack of any accomplishments, Obama's long relationship with Chicago's SlumLord Tony Rezko, who is scheduled to go on trial on March 3rd, Michelle's "For the first time in my adult life, I am proud of this country..." remark.
It'll be much harder fot the Republicans if Hillary Clinton is the nominee.
Unfortunately, the Democrats are going to buy into the empty slogans and hot air being sold by Obama and we'll end up with a Republican Prersident in 08
