"The notion that you can selectively pick what you take credit for and then run away from what isn’t politically convenient that doesn’t make sense," Obama concluded.

Were you talking about yourself, Obama???

David Gergen worked in the Whitehouse.(Brought in to clean up the mess of the first months because Bill and Hillary were clueless.)

In interviews, he said it was very much a co-Presidency.

So, didn't they make joint decisions on things like NAFTA or Waco?

If you want your share of the glory, you've also got to take your share
of the blame.

Make up your mind, Hillary.

i am glad to see i am not alone ,alifelong democrat that will vote for mcain if obama gets the nomination.a lot of us know that there is a lot to be fixed but rather than put the country in the hands of someone who has ties to people that wanted to destroy this country,ayers and dohrn,people who take advantage of the poor and have ties to shady middle east bankers,rezko,and has a wife that probably deep down dislikes hates, this country.we will hold our noses and vote for mcain someone that there is no doubt loves this country deeply even if he is wrong on some issues and wait 4 years for our democratic party towake up

don - we've seen that posted sentiment many times. But the polling done on the question doesn't back up the implication - at least what I'm assuming is your implied implication - that a huge number of Democrats will vote for McCain over Obama.

Polling shows that most Democrats will be satisfied if either Obama or Clinton were the nominee. And actually, the numbers I've seen suggest a higher number of satisfied Democrats with Obama as the nominee. If I remember correctly, it was close. Something like a couple points of difference.

Of course I don't mean to imply all polling is absolutely correct. But it is a data point, and one I'll put more credence in than internet message boards.

The fact that Hillary was co-president only confirms the fact that experience wise she has Obama beat by a mile. I will take the Bill/Hillary team over the rest any day, mistakes and all. NAFTA didn't work out as intended but that is on Bush not Clinton. I remember the Clinton years and they were good for ALL Americans. Thanks Obama for pointing out that Hillary really does have the credentials to be commander in chief!!

Obama has told us a lot about Hillary's record, and he's usually wrong. He has only given small glimpses of how he will handle the commander-in-chief position, but even then, when asked a complex question about what he would do about the war he says he was against it. I was against it is not a strategy. This type of response to a complex question is a bit worrisome don't you think? NObama, 2008, maybe in 2016. I gotta say, though, it will be hilarious if Nader takes him out and Hillary runs again in 2012 and wins against the incumbent McCain.

WestCoast - "Obama has told us a lot about Hillary's record, and he's usually wrong."

Such as?

Hillary in 2012? She's already too old and so is McCain.
We need fresher, younger minds running our 21st century government.

It's interesting to see all the Republcans in Democratic Clothing and HillaryDoesNoWrong types who respond t these postings.

Sure, let's get McCain in there to handle the next four to eight years of the 100 years he wants us in Iraq. Wouldn't that be just lovely?!? NOT!!! A vote for McCain, or for Nader, is just plain stupid.

I was an Edwards supporter before I came to the Obama camp. In 2004 I was amazed that the American Voting Public chose Bush over Kerry, even after all that happened to that point. For anyone to chose McCain over Obama (or Hillary), given how much things have deteriorated since then, would be sheer lunacy!

obama. the notion. criminey I hate that phrase...

obama. the notion. criminey I hate that phrase...

'a life long democrat' but will vote McCain if Obama wins!! Please I don't think you were ever a democrat in the first place!! You sound like a baby throwing their toys out of a pram.
Go ahead a make the Republicans day by voting for McCain who wants to be in Iraq for another 100 years!!
You might as well just have changed the constitution and allow bush a third term!!
I am not American but with people like you, its no wonder Bush ended up in the white house twice!!

McCain does not have any plan for the next 4 years, he does not understand ecnomy, he is a war heroe because he was captured early in the battlefield in Vietnam and his campaign is ruled by lobbiests, voting for McCain is voting for the end of the world, because he will create wars every where and there will be no peace on earth.

I wish Hillary would take to some to simply study some facts and numbers these days.

A new Des Moines Register poll in Iowa shows Sen. Barack Obama would beat Sen. John McCain in the general election, 53% to 36%.

However, McCain would beat Sen. Hillary Clinton, 49% to 40%.

And Iowa is expected to be a competitive swing state this fall.

I for one agree with Michelle Obama´s comment about not being particularly proud of America´s politics during her adult lifetime. I feel the same. What is there to be proud of? Politicians constantly take cheap shots, divide the country, and preen like celebrities while all the while letting the country go down the drain domestically and internationally. Bush has made a mockery of the U.S. throughout the world as did Clinton with his affair in the White House.

Hey, I was against the war and voted twice AGAINST George W. Bush. Maybe I should run for President. True: I wasn't in the Senate at the time the vote was taken, but neither was now-Senator Obama. True: I did not see all the "facts" the CIA provided Congress that may have made me think differently, but neither did Senator Obama! Such a lame claim to fame. Are all these people going ga-ga over Obama delusional? Perhaps. There were certainly plenty of people voting for George W. Bush (delusional?)even after his first four do-nothing years. The public can't possibly know enough about this guy to go so crazy on him. The mainstream media is delusional as well. I even hear people like Nora O'Donnell saying "we" when she should be saying "the Obama campaign". That is just a tiny example.

obamma makkes comments constantly about this but he is sending his wife in his place who makes stupid and racist remarks no koolaid for me

Lets us be factual. The Clinton's have had a pass on all types of racist and denigrading remark against Obama. In his respectful and understanding fashion the Illinois Senator has resorted to reason and the vigilance of the American people over "coded" messages insinuating racism. Thank God that over a third of Americans are college graduates;rational decisions can now be made without resorting to primitive sentiments and irrational thoughts

But she's a "girl", so I guess she gets to have it both ways. "I want credit for success, and insulation from my failures. It wasn't my fault, I wasn't REALLY in charge then. They only listened to me when things wen't right." Yup, sounds like "girlish" thinking to me, Hilliary. Call me when you actually GROW up!!! Then maybe I'll believe what you claim on any given day. You've still got some learning to do. And the Presidency isn't the place for: "On the job traning!!!"
