Does Obama think people don't notice when he speaks that he shows no respect to people? I think it's all the hate that is in him from Wright and Michelle.

The only Flip Flopper there is is Hillary. we got off the plane...should i go on..How many versions were there?

The only poll that matters is the one that shows 30% of Hillary supporters would NEVER and I mean NEVER vote for Obama. Ya know what that means Obama folks - McCain WINS! Bye Barack, bye Michelle,

That is the most intelligent path obama has taken, lately. What is happening is that: He has come to the realization he can't win the general election and needs Hillary. The sight of 30% of her backers walking leaves him dead in the water and the republicans get 4 more years. He had better work on leveling the playing field. Better for him to be Vice President and President 8 years from now. That is his best scenario, though the pundits are blind and the media can't see it because they have such ego they can't believe they are wrong.

The only reason for his comments is that he is loosing badly in PA and just want the voters there to believe that he cares about their votes; so he needs to recant his comments from yesterday. A 2 year old kid can see through him

Ed had to endorse her look what happened to Gov. Richardson. Ed has known them for years and what they are capable of
Go all the way Barack to the white house

At some point, this will stop being about race and voters will FINALLY notice BHO's politics. His cult followers, for the most part, have no clue how far left he is. Obama talks like a moderate, but his voting record says otherwise. We need to get away from the mess Bush has made, but we DON'T need an extreme leftist just because we're getting rid of a right-wing theocrat. Hillary is a moderate, and that's what we need.

He wasn't giving his permission, he was giving his opinion. What is wrong with you people? Are you really that blinded by the fear that a black man could actually be opening a can of whuppin' on this white woman and he just might end up as our next president? Well, he said he was running on change, didn't he? Does he need to spell it out for you?

The GOP will be HURTING in the next elections!!!!

The GOP/Republican tools on these forums wouldn't dare talk about Republicans and their failed policies. Instead they help themselves feel better about blind support for the Republicans, by attacking Democrats trying to fan the flames of dissent within the DNC.

Well now I know, a vote for a Republican is literally a vote for ignorance, and misguided spending in an unnecessary war in Iraq, which causes more hate........

Democrats ROCK!!!!!!!!!!

Obama is an amazing speaker! I have never heard any politician speak so candidly and clearly about so many topics, much less the state of racism in America. I'd love to see a Republican address this subject in such a direct and intelligent way.
MAJOR APLAUSE FOR BARRAK OBAMA!!

I’m proud to be a part of such a historic election. We can have our first woman or African-American President!!! This country has some healing to do and Republicans just GET IN THE WAY.

This election will be historic, and it’s not about Hillary versus Obama, it's about Democrat versus Republican.

Hillary or Obama, or both. Go Democrats!

Russell - Please tell me what that has to do with dodging sniper fire and making "corkscrew" landings in Bosnia?

As evidenced by Hillary's plummeting poll numbers, the American people care alot more about that tall tale than anything Senator Obama's said.

Wake up and smell the roses, Russell. You backed the wrong pony.

Huckabee was behind at one point by 800 del this race is alot closer the rally's that Hillary and Bill are holding are drawing thousands she has rasied plenty of money she has Millions and millions and millions of supporters and there are alot of Democrats in leadership who are backing her and Buffet so she will be in this until they count FL. and MI. and dean should know we will not fall for BS about seat the DEL after the nom. is in OBAMA's hand And TD Jakes would be a better Pastor for Obama he uses his race like so many others do

What a classy presidential statement by one of the greatest statesman of our times. If there is one person who can unite the party and keep his unruly, untruthful opponent in the party some respect, it is Barack Obama. I am pleased to report that the primaries continuing will give some states that have still not voted a chance and the state head quarters office of Obama was opened today. The enthusiasm for electing Obama from all people from all ages, all colors and all backgrounds was simply astounding. There was no coffee and the latte crowd was still happy to be there. Too bad my state does not allow independents to vote in a Dem primary. I am not a happy camper but those are the rules and I am not whining about being not allowed to vote as some from certain states who were victims of their state's party leaders.

Interesting for the Democratic Party to note some democrats have a brain. Those are the ones who will vote McCain or not vote at all if the party chooses Obama. And the most important poll is the one that shows that about 30% of Hillary's supporters will not vote for Obama if he is the candidate.

It is really sad how vicious comments about Obama are. If these Hillary supporters leaving these comments are truly Democrats, please think before you speak so derisively about Obama, he is a fellow Democrat and an emminently qualified candidate. (Have you taken the time to read his bills in the Congressional Record? Or have you read either of his books to learn the excellent caliber of person he is? Or do you make your judgements on sound bytes?) And if these commentors are actually Republicans trying to make it seem like many Dems hate Obama, shame on you. Winning by any means is not the democratic way. If you think your Republican candidate can't win by campaigning on his strengths and ideas, then maybe he doesn't deserve the job. Let's keep it clean if only so as the world watches and reads about our election they don't think we take our right to elect our leader democratically a joke. We can't push the idea that democracy is the best if we aren't willing to take it seriously at home.
And on the subject of this story, Obama is only saying that Hillary can run as long as she wants. He isn't saying she should. I think he is right that it won't hurt the party. And I agree when it comes election time if it is Obama vs. McCain, any Hillary fan isn't going to choose the totally Republican ideals McCain is touting over the very Democratic plans Obama has for running the country.

Our party will be called...the SORE LOSERS!

Now, who's with me?!?!

Thank You Obama! We're all tired of the bashing and insults. It's time to LET THE DEAD BURY THE DEAD! If the rest want to stay in the graveyard of bashing, then let them stay. Both you and Hillary are better than that. Rise above it! You're both true Americans. Even with all the bashers, you're both still an honorable people. Don't sink to lowly swiftboating levels of the Republican party, an obviously corrupt and rogue bunch! You and Hillary still have a chance to get back on track. Stop allowing others to convince you to insult one another. This has been a slick dividing stunt with the Republican parties and their cronies. True Democrats are embarrassed to see our own slinking and sinking to such low and debauchery behaviours.

Not that I know of.

Apostasy!! Is being a Republican lost all meaning? Its construct was simplified into talking points which eventually became meaningless. The polarization of our nation began peaking during when Karl Rove was in power. He was able to frame Democrats so simplistically it rang with the base they had formed. It still rings today………..the rhetoric is outrageous!!!!

One reason I like Obama so much is that he sets a different tone…….and he is a Democrat. My own values fall well within the construct of the Democratic Party.

Our problems aren’t just "liberal", they are capitalist and diplomatic, and infrastructure and war and death and terrorists..............remember......this country is made of Americans, made of people and ideas of all kinds.................over a vast land.

"“God bless America.” This phrase is used correctly when it conjures an image of God helping people cope with the great losses they have incurred, when it pulls members of the nation together to help and serve one another, and when it asks for the healing of our brokenness that only God can offer. This phrase is used incorrectly when it implies that God should bless our nation at the expense of others, that the United States should enjoy special privilege in the sight of God, or that the lives of Americans are inherently more valuable than the lives of any other people in the world."

I still believe that all of the states should have their say in who represents either party in the up coming election. Too many years we have heard that you only need two states to win an election, Ohio and Florida. I am glad both Clinton and Obama agree.

If this was the policy-based contest of mutual respect we witnessed in February than we would all say let’s keep it up until the convention. Let every state make their decision and learn all we can about the candidates and their plans for this country. Unfortunate the campaign has become far too personal and turned away from anything remotely constructive for any of the candidates, their parties, or the voters. Frankly comments like these are exactly why people are suggesting that this campaign should end. It is no longer about supporting your candidate as it should be. It is more like people are watching a stock car race hoping someone will hit the wall.

I think is more important that we pull this country together a get on with the job of fixing the things that desperately need fixing. Frankly knowing whom exaggerated their background or what someone’s pastor said would not matter at 3:00 AM for any candidate.

If Barack Obama, for some insane reason doesn't get the nomination, I will write him in in November!
