Wake America, before you vote another nice guy like Bush. Obama is just words and not substance nor a doer. The media just creater the aura of Obama. The media helped elected Bush too and the war. I hope God will give miracle to Hillary Clinton, to save this country from people who think this is not serious bussiness.

Can't argue with Hillary on that one, where else can you go and exploit the public like she has and still have a chance at continuing the pillage.

Way to position yourself on par with the future first lady. I am glad Hillary is distinquishing herself from Michelle. However, we all will have to wait until next year when Michelle is the first lady, then Hillary can debate Michelle's lack of experience in picking out the White House china.

Obama is a McGovern class liberal. Personally, I like the guy, but he's unelectable because of it. This is shaping up like 1972 all over again. Hillary has the right stuff for leadership, but Obama outclasses her in broad oratory skills. He doesn't have much going in the substance arena, but neither did Reagan. However, Reagan was clear on his values, I'm not sure that is the case with Obama. Hillary is clear on values. McCain is clear on values. Democrats are once again throwing caution to the window.

At the beginning of the primaries, I was somewhat interested, but really was planning on waiting to see who the Democratic nominee would be, since I knew there was no way I would vote Republican (Bush hangover as well as not really liking the choices). As the candidates revealed themselves, I was excited to see the great choices I had.

Since he ran for Senate in Illinois, I have always been a fan of Obama, but I still had my Clinton allegiance and I was excited for the chance to see them back in charge. It would be safe to say that I was going to vote for Hillary at that time.

I changed my mind after hearing Obama's speech after his Iowa victory. HIs message of change and unity was refreshing and I couldn't believe that I felt this excited for a candidate for President, but I did and I called my mom (who was also supporting Hillary) to tell her how I felt. I told her that even though I wasn't around for the Kennedy brothers' campaigns, that I felt an excitement and energy that those two candidates must have stirred into their generation of voters.

As Obama gained momentum, I started to feel bad for Hillary. I did still want to see a woman President and she is more than qualified. But I agree with Obama's point that it is time for a change in leadership in Washington. It is time to break from the past. So I decided after Super Tuesday that I would still support Obama, but that it wouldn't be that bad if Hillary won the nomination.

Fast forward to now...and I will tell you that any sympathy I had for Hillary Clinton is gone. It's these tactics she's using to try to steal away the nomination. Obama has tapped into something and that's the nature of politics. He's got the momentum. Let him run with it. This fight is now personal for her and not because she cares about the country, at least that's how it seems to me. I feel she is desperate and is trying to hold onto whatever power the Clinton's think they have left. For someone who prides herself at working "very hard", she seems to be taking the easy way out.

I will be so angry if her careless campaigning harms the Democratic Party's chances at victory this fall. I am appealing to all Clinton supporters to stop the negative attacks and giving ammunition to the Republicans. Remember what this election is for. Democrats have a chance to reclaim the White House and reshape our country. This is the fierce urgency of now.

Let's not blow it.

Couldn't Hillary get a fair share of the now revived Mc Cain Keating Five scandals as well? McCain was one of them, but so was Hillary's dear friend and endorser John Glenn.

It would be nice btw if some jounalists would write a good story about the flow of cash in the Clinton household, and more spefically about their Arabian connections.

If you're looking for clean hands, I suppose Obama is the safest bet. McCain has a very long story of bad behavior; and his poor wife has been on trial for drugs addiction theft (check her bio on Wikipedia).

We may not be as bewildered by him as the kids out there, but let's have Obama do the job. Clinton or McCain would both mean a disaster of scandals and the very end of America's once great international reputation. I saw it rise during WW II and sink under Billie Clinton and Bush junior; a very sad thing to witness.

So yes, Obama indeed in this campaign is our last hope for a decent USA.

So yesterday Clinton said during an interview with WJAR "You know, I've been proud a lot of America," "I think we've all been disappointed in our country. But I've been proud of America on many occasions during my lifetime."

And today, she's Ms. Red, White and Blue???? Hmmmmmm......how unsuspiciously desperate.

YEAH...like we are going to get our national reputation back when we pull out of Iraq and it dissolves into civil war and COMPLETE chaos.

The 'better prepared' line is sounding more and more hollow, as voters try to connect the dots between that claim and her campaign's seeming lack of preparedness and organization.

You know, I know where Michelle Obama was coming from. After seven years of Bush, I was not proud of the way America was behaving abroad or at home. We have done many things to disappoint, embarass and disillusion me from the great moments of American History I was taught as a kid. To make Michelle Obama's statement an issue of patriotism allows no critical thinking--nor even allows one to be an agent of change. If Clinton's so proud of America, why not let a Republican keep leading? Let's see if we can build a bridge to the next Abu Ghraib.

Talk about desperate. I think its pathetic that Hillary would try to spin a poor choice of words (on Michelle Obama's part) as being something hugely significant or serious.

Nobody in their right mind is going to believe the Obama family is unpatriotic. Nor would anybody in their right mind believe someone as intelligent as Michelle Obama would say that she has never been proud of America, even if it were the truth. She's too smart to do that. She simply made a poor choice of words when trying to communicate about how proud she is of how many Americans are standing up for change this year.

Yet Hillary jumps on the opportunity to push the view that Michelle is unpatriotic. Hillary, once again, shows her true nature. She would do or say anything to win. Sad.

Go Obama!! Go Michelle!

jerome seems to lack reading skills. michelle obama hasn't been ashamed of america for 7 years, but for her entire adult life. that is until her husband might become president, then magically america is awesometown.

Only stupid people are fill proud after so many years under Bush. Yes. They are proud of Abu graib.

Hillary is a wrong wrong wrong choice for America. But this statement is undebatable that we should be proud Americans of this America we have, otherwise pack up and leave.

Hillary's entire message for years has been that America is a country undeserving of affection or loyalty from either foreigners or Americans because of its 2 class system: the abusers and the victims.

She despises 1/2 of all Americans: Men. She sees women as helpless victims (guess where she gets that) for whom she can claim to be the champion/avenger. She has no more affection or respect for women than a fly. Women are objects to her for her self aggrandizement. She is not qualified to do any one of millions of jobs that women do every day. She can't even drive a car. She is the dumbest woman I know in terms of her not even knowing the limits of her knowledge and how those limits should give her pause before trying to take control of people's lives. Her entire being is composed of two attributes: She is a man hater and a Communist. She tries to hide these qualities behind a veneer of "caring," and "fighting hard" and her famous "stances." Her world view is very similar to that of The Communist Manifesto.

She is a far greater danger to America than Bin Laden, Putin, or any other international lunatic.

Hang it up Hil'ry, Hang it up. Your support is shallow, your qualifications weak, as front-runner you had appeal, as a loser your politics reek.

Hang it up, Hil'ry, hang it up.

This obvious ploy to make a dig at Michelle Obama for her "proud" statement is so cheap and sad. It makes the whole political process look like some kind of circus.

Apparently, some of you guys don't know what you're talking about.

This was taken out of context.

Hillary Clinton said pretty much the same thing when I saw her speak in San Diego, February 1st.

Another cheap shot by the media, to put out more negative news about Hillary. Meanwhile, look who's been the media's favorite for the past three weeks! The guy who ditches debates, and never explains what he is going to do.

"Hillary says.....if you will be there, voting for me, you can count on me to be there for you!”

Well, that's not true Hillary and you know it let me share with everyone my families experience after voting for you on your first senate run.....

I voted for you for NY Senator and my 7 year old daughter got all excited about it because she saw my excitement so she wrote you a letter saying, " she wanted to be the second female President because you would be the first one" and you never even responded. I know you got her letter and that you read it 'cause your staff mentioned to me that you did indeed recieve it.

You could have found a minute to write a line or two and acknowledged that you recieved my little girls letter it would have ment the world to her. And I know you must have office staff they could have written a few lines to my daughter in your stead if you were too busy. My little girl has grown since then, she went through brain surgery a while back but is doing fine now and has a B average on the Regents in spite of missing so much school.

I'm voting for "change" Hillary because I can see that once you have peoples' vote they then become the "little people" to you, remember Leona Helmsley?"

So in closing I wonder if you feel perplexed, Hillary because you're losing your race for the presidency maybe this has cleared up for others what they can expect after casting a vote for you. Still hurts me when I think about it and need to get it off my chest how you could ignore my child that adored you and looked up to you.

PATHETIC! - I am proud of America. Talk about beating out the issue!
