At one of Bill Clinton's appearances in SC on Wednesday, an elderly black man stood up and said "black people are voting for Obama because he's black. But he can't win and he will make sure the Republicans win in November." Clinton showed "concern" while a few others nodded.

After it was over, reporters tried to get the man's name. He refused to identify himself and left with his BODYGUARD! Now, tell me. How many people attend town hall meetings with bodyguards, especially elderly black men in SC? This guy was a plant by the Clinton campaign used to continue to play the race issue.

Hoodwinking?......YOU LIE (hoodwink us)about YOUR political positions. You COVER UP (bamboozle us) about your unscrupulous business ties, dealings, and fundraising practices in Chicago? You (okey doke us) about your own wife's professional PAID)relationships with Corporations doing huge volumes of business with "Walmart"?
You SAY 'you didn’t know what was going on with the Rezko group'… but you certainly got to where you are LARGELY DUE TO THE REZKO RELATIONSHIPS AND THEIR BUSINESS DEALINGS! YOU WERE A LAWYER FOR GOD'S SAKE! OBAMA, YOU DIDN'T "MISS" WHAT WAS GOING ON WITH REZKO... YOU EXPLOITED IT!.......GIVE ME A BREAK!

The Clintons will do anything to win!

Obama likes to talk all that "New kind of Politics" stuff but if you look at his record and history you will nothing that is "New", just the same old stuff. Goggle Tony Rezko and read about Obama in the Chicago papers, learn about the 15 year connection he lied about in the last debate, read about how he used Republican tactics against his fellow Dems to remove them from the ballot. The media tries to make him look like a saint,but he is FAR from that. Tony rezko goes on trial in Federal Court next month for political corruption, that should be interesting

I hope that the voters in South Carolina go to the polls in the greatest of numbers, black, white, latino, asian etc., with the understanding of the historic opportunity before them. They have the opportunity to vote for a genuinely GREAT MAN in SENATOR BARACK OBAMA, a black man who's intelligence, vision, character serve as an inspiration to ALL AMERICANS. I worked on the Clinton/Gore Campaign in 1992 but can no longer suppor CLINTON STYLE POLITICS which attempts to degenerate American political discourse down to its most base levels.

Well, we should use our sence and vision, not our....Obama got his law degree from harvard and he was the president of law affaire school. I think he is genius and his brain is sharp. Can't he do much better than some ex-presidents? I am sure he can.
I am 62 years old.

Even Hilary wins the White House, the economic during the Bill Clinton's era won't be back. One of the reasons attributed to the rosy economic during his era was the windfall of ".com" revolution. No matter who the president was, the economic grew itself. On the other hand, Hilary already claimed Bill would not be in her cabinet when she is the president. So, those who think they vote for Hilary will get Bill should wake up and see the truth. The truth is what we need now is somebody who can unify the country and push the agenda to fix the social security and health care which our parents really need now.

Wow. Even CNN anchors commented last night (during Situation Room) on the racist tone of Obama's speech.
Its really ugly and disappointing.

Although the 90's were a fun time, I really don't get the sense Sen. Clinton is somebody we can trust. Trust and honesty are what differentiate the Bushes and Nixons from the honorable presidents.

The Clintons want a second chance. America wants to turn the page.

I am once gain saddened by the evident generation divide. I have a friend who was once a "Goldwater Girl" (I am in my sixties). Later, after some political maturity set in, she joined me in the "children's crusade" for Eugene McCarthy.
No one is getting any younger. Everyone is getting older. Having said that, my support for Obama is not race nor gender based. One of the reasons I support him is that I do not want a role-confused former president in the White House. When Hillary Clinton was making some of her first campaign speeches, Bill had a hard time standing still behind her. Now he feels compelled, as do some of our bloggers here, to defend HIS presidency during Hillary's campaign. He even periodically lets the word "we" slip during campaign speeches.
I loved and hated the Clinton years. He was clearly the most intelligent president we had had for a very long time. He was also the most contentious. His "zipper issues" still haunt their marriage and they were seldom seen together in public until the campaign started. I was pleased to see Hillary Clinton become senator. I privately say that I think that was part of the deal she and her husband made after the whole Lewinsky debacle- that he would help her do that and stay in the background. He can't do that (and clearly won't do that) during the election campaign for president. I don't want "two for the money" this time around.

Obama is attacking because he's lost the last three primaries/caucuses. He hasn't won one since Iowa and so apparently he's decided that he needs to get nasty.

Agreed Judith. As someone who also made the journey from Goldwater to McCarthy, I admire Hillary but would rather have Barack in the White House. Think about the message that would send to the rest of the world....

Kathy-- I guess you should have volunteered for Obama in Nevada. We were NOT told that at all. I guess he was playing nice and polite in mostly all-White New Hampshire. As soon as he hit NV with people of color, specifically Latinos, his tactics were negative and desperate. You could tell that Obama's desperation directly stems from his ego and his sense of entitlement. He is crushed that he didn't win because he actually thinks that he is entitled to be coronated King. Wake up, Kathy. I know that I had to.

I thought Bill was a pretty decent president, but come on! What does that have to do with Hillary? Unless you think that Bill will be running the show behind the scenes the same way people said Hillary did when Bill was President. Seriously though, as far as trust and who is lying and who isn't, there has never been an honest politician(at least not a successful one). ANYONE who seeks power over the lives of others is not to be trusted.

I have been reading alot about this election and the candicates but we really need to think about one thing and that is we need a president that has the experience and not a preacher that is going to inspire but not get anything done. I'm a white women in her forty's and if obama had the experience I would vote for him but he does not so that is why I'm voting for Hillary!

Judith and Keith -- just as in the 60s, you both seem once again confused and caught up by emotions. Seems you are both reactionary in your analysis and justification for supporting Obama. Judith--Bill's "zipper issues"--what does that mean? Were you one of the ones that were standing in agreement and judgment with Ken Starr and the Republicans on that one too? C'mon it is no one's business. I just find it odd that the Clintons have been the only ones victimized and smeared endlessly by the REPUBLICANS for decades. And, now it is their fault for the Republicans behavior. That's right, the Republicans. Think about what you are saying here. These are absurd rationalizations.

Just look at Hillary as an individual. She has a WAY BETTER record than Obama. Look at his Rezco record. It is pathetic. You can rationalize that and his recent behavior since New Hampshire all you want, but the realities remain. He is way weak on Healthcare and other basic issues. Issues that he still will not talk about are delineate with any specificity. I have seen him in person, NV and was NOT impressed with his tactics towards Latinos. Speeches, speeches and NO QUESTIONS FROM THE AUDIENCE. I could only imagine how he would be if were elected for Prez, he'd be so disconnected -- as it is, he says he'd surround himself with "other competent individuals." Please, we have had way, way too much of that already with W. Then where would we be? At least Hillary is calling for transparency in her office. Also, think about this -- Obama hasn't even served 1 term in the Senate. He is immature and sorely lacks experience. Please, wake up. His tactics and the people that he has himself surrounded with-- many are former Clinton people. Again, wake up. Obama is behaving despicably in S. Carolina -- manipulating Blacks with such racial overtones and language as hoodwinked, bamboozled and that is not exactly positive or presidential. And if that is any indiciation of what his administration would be like -- NO THANK YOU.

Electing a totally capable, highly intelligent, highly-competent, hard-working woman to the White House would be sending every bit as much a positive message. PLEASE get out of your emotional state and start thinking rationally -- the future of your country depends on it.

This is a good message/speech Obama is making here. He is telling the voters, don't let the lies stop them from going to vote. Don't believe the hype/lies the Clintons are telling them. There is not one sentence in that speech I find racist. He is giving an uplifting speech about hope, pride, and never give up no matter what people tell you. That was an insprirational speech. If you are talking about the words "hoodwink" and "bamboozle", those are words many people associate with sleezy politics. Nothing racist about that.

now compir the commities on all patries BIOGRAPHY.what do you make of it all? I do not feel he is looking out for AMERICAS BEST INTREST,do you?
