So now that South Carolina is over and the Obama people have stopped screeching “racism“….What exactly did the Clintons actually say about Obama? They questioned Obama’s shifting positions on Iraq, his sometimes spotty voting record in Illinois, and his ties to crooked Syrian wheeler-dealer Tony Rezko. They said that MLK didn’t fight the whole civil rights revolution by himself, and they called out a reporter for falsely accusing the Clintons of racism.

Obama implied that the Republicans have had all the ideas and the Clinton administration didn‘t have any -- and then Obama was shocked, shocked that the Clintons reacted to that!

That’s it. That’s why everybody from the Obama to John Kerry is screaming that the Clintons are on a mudslinging racist jihad against Obama, and neocons are actually hollering that we should apologize to them for questioning their attacks on the Clintons -- “see, we were right all along!” What hogwash. There was nothing even remotely racist in what the Clintons said. Sorry, folks, but the Clintons are allowed to do this -- since when are candidates not allowed to criticize the other guy‘s record, and respond to personal attacks?

Compare what the Clintons actually said, to the 15 years of Republican smears against the Clintons, the six-on-one hammering Clinton got in the October debate, the two months of pounding Hillary has taken in the media, and of course the endless lies and smears against the Clintons right here in this forum. For that matter, look at McCain and Romney screeching “liar!” at each other all across new Hampshire. This Obama stuff is nothing. A tempest in a teaspoon.

Everyone forgets the stuff that came before, in this race: while the Clintons were actually defending Obama regarding attacks on the Muslim allegations, and declined to exploit the fact that Obama ally Louis Farrakhan started attacking the Clintons (which any real racist would have responded to)….while Hillary was going easy on Obama, Obama’s team was claiming Hillary was responsible for the murder of Benazir Bhutto.

Democrats are wising up. We have affectionate memories of the Clintons. But seeing the reality-- a cackling, drawling, two-headed, red-faced, out-of-touch married couple-- reminds us of so much we never liked about them. Obama has integrity. He's honest and down to earth. He'll be a phenomenal leader for our country and the world.

Ted Kennedy has been a friend of the Clintons for many years. After watching Hillary and Bill Clinton distort Obama's record, Ted Kennedy decided to endorse Obama over Clinton. We simply cannot go back to the polarizing years of the 90's that led to democrats loosing both houses of congress. Bill will be too much of a problem in Hillary administration. It is about time the Clintons' political dominance of the democratic party be cut-off once and for all. Alelujaj! God has finally said enough is enough and both the Bush/Clinton dynasty must come to an end. They cannot push the United States into a monarchy by inheritance; the United States is a democracy.

Ted K. endorsing Obama? Hmmm Could this be a Clinton tactic to repel potential Republican crossovers? So many Republicans have a visceral dislike of Kennedy that his endorsement of Obama will be a turn-off for many Republicans.

Obama is not going to win. Clinton leads by a 2 to 1 advantage when you factor in the superdelegates. Geez you Obama fans are setting yourselves up for NH part 2. Clinton will extend her lead on Super Tuesday. I'll agree with Caroline Kennedy, that Obama is most like JFK--that he is unexperienced and not ready for the job.

Senator Kennedy has positioned himself to be a wise old liberal Democrat. His forthcoming endorsement of Senator Obama is good news to this observer, who intends to vote for Senator Obama.

Please put forth to both Senator Obama and his antagonist the following question: Are you prepared to deny a run for the vice presidency, if you are not your party's' presidential nominee? Also, as an addendum, ask the same about service in their primary opponent's administration.

Cordially, Nelle

Western European-model socialist democracy, here we come.

Soon Mommy Government will be there to make everything fair so we don't have to try too hard, and all those greedy meanies who believe in self-reliance, effort and achievement will be punished.

Long live the Proletariat!

Being a Southern Democrat living in California now, I am so proud that the Democratic Party is actually considering Obama as its nominee. How particularly revolutionary, how paradigm changing. Well, I guess it's time to brush the scabs off of our political eyes and believe in the promise of America again. Imagine that.

This is huge. Ted is still the big man on campus among the Democratic establishment. His endorsement speaks volumes. Hillary is on the ropes folks.

This is a turn off to me.

This is quickly becoming a Bigger Joke!

Ted Kennedy - a drunk, a criminal and a career politician! And a politician that had his girlfriend with him along his campaign trail! This is suppose to be good for Obama???

Caroline Kennedy - She drew parallels to her father's career! First of all..many question Monica and Bill, but how about JFK and Marilyn Monroe...it was certainly a continuous romp! Secondly, How much do you think a little 5-6 year old girl can remember about her father's political office? Yes, that is how old she was when our beloved JFK was killed!

And the recent talks about the comparison of Obama to MLK.... Yes...MLK was a great hero for many...but how many women did he do along the road of freedom. Historical documents proved he was a major hump master, that is why today New Hampshire still won't recognize MLK but only until recently when they proclaimed a Civil Rights Day!

I still Love and respect JFK & MLK...for their leadership and helping this country move forward!

Barack Hussein Obama, Hillary Clinton, Ted Kennedy, John Kerry and most of the current candidates are not leaders nor do they have the experience nor ability to get this Great Country out of it's current situation!

I did not agree with the Republicans that Bill Clinton having sex at the White House with Monica Lewinsky amounted to high crimes and misdeamenor. It is fair to say that the Clintons are dysfunctional and degraded and did harm to the White House and the Presidency. Again, as an ex-President, Bill Clinton has shown great propensity for lying and we do recall that committed perjury while in office. Hillary Clinton is not different from Bill in the way she tells lies and distorts Obama's records to get elected. Why are the Clintons trying so hard to get into the White House again? They are eggregiously and morally unfit to lead this nation and the world. The world is watching America's prevarication and double standard with regard to the Clintons. America has many talented politicians and it is time to let the Clintons go. Hillary can stay in the United States Senate where her skills can be useful. Her arrogance in displaying a sense of entitlement to the Presidency is shocking. America keep the Clintons out of the White House. Enough is enough. They are still lying and distorting. Please, let them go. The whole world is watching America.

Wow! This is the biggest endorsement in the primaries. What does this say about the Clintons when their closest friends and people that know him best are against them. Think about it. This is a huge blow for them, and I think every voter should consider that when they're making their decision.

There is a lot of debate on Experience vs.Change in this election. But the most important issue before any of that shoud be a question of Character. Clintons don't have it and Obama does.

Wow obama so played the race card, in fact if you watch the deabates Clinton attacks Obama's policies but he along with Michelle turned it into race. I guess he wants affirmative action in politics as well. If Obama gets the Dem nod I guess this is the first time I am voting Republican and happily because I really like McCain and Rommney they represent the moderate politics we need.

Anyone who can't see Obama is the only choice to clean up Washington is dumb. And if you think Clinton(s) is/are the way to go, you are even less smart. Hillary is herself indebt to other nations..why the hell would we want to vote her in with all her special interests, etc...o m g, I hope America is smart and votes Obama, he can inspire America to work hard like we used to.

The words which Caroline Kennedy found to express her endorsement of Barack Obama could not be more sincere, simple, and moving. I noted the fact she mentions her teenage children are inspired by Obama as well. I appreciate she shares with us their sentiments because as she writes in her closing remarks " I believe I have found the man who could be that president — not just for me, but for a new generation of Americans."
Powerful stuff!

Obama is no JFK, but what the hell JFK was not the JFK we imagine to have existed.
In reality he really did nothing as president except get us all killed by his lack of experience.
There was no such thing as Camelot. This was a term coined years after his death.
He was disliked by at least 50% of the population at the time he died. The liberals wrote his legacy and the conservatives were to kind in death to correct them. He was simply a man, just like all the rest with all of our weaknesses. Obama is just another guy that sounds good and glib with his answers.
If the simple people want to make him a hero so be it.

When I saw Bill shaking his finger AGAIN it brought back some pretty bad memories......
I pray Obama wins.

A change is a-coming!
Yes, we have HOPE. May Barack inspire all Americans to unite and invite participation in getting us back on track.
I am a 50 year old white, educated, independent woman and Obama is the first candidate to get me this inspired, since I was old enough to vote. BRING IT ON!

Correction:
ALMOST get us killed.
