Democratic leaders are cowards standing by as the Clinton"s destroy the party...

I think it is Obama who has destroyed the Democratic Party. Certain Democratic Party leaders supporting Obama just because of their jealous for not able to become President is evident. Kennedy and Kerry are just a few two to name.

FI and MI votes must be counted. I am surprised the super delegates have continued to support this inexperienced person even after the unpatriotic pastor news and his continued support to his pastor, and now this small town talks. OBAMA you should drop out, you are unelectable,

If Obama is the democratic nominee, FOR THE FIRST TIME IN MY ADULT LIFE I WILL BE VOTING A REPUBLICAN FOR PRESIDENT.

I respect you very much former Pres. Carter. However, you still have in mind what happened to you and still you do not step up and rescue the Party from spliting up.

All Super Delegates who haven't shown their role of putting things right, should be blamed in case things turn sour!

GS--You argument as to why certain Democratic Party leaders are supporting Obama seems a big childish to me. Those people have been in politics long enough to be able to accept all the hardship that come their way.

I know some of their decisions can be based on pure interest, but to simply tied their action to jealousy is dubious to me.

Jimmy Carter? Isn't he meeting with Hamas this week for Obama? Why not just endorse him and get it over with.

Those who will vote Republican if Obama is the nominee you have another thing coming because many, and even more if Hillary steals the nomination with supers, Obama supporters will vote Republican if Hillary is the nominee. I despise that manipulative, say anything to win, destroy your fellow Democrat, flip-flop on war and Nafta, multi-million dollar, arrogant Hillary Clinton.

So Carter is pro Obama. Ok

Obama is already endorsed by Carters arch enemy Kennedy.

Kennedy refused to drop out of the Democratic primary in 1980 (like Clinton) and took it all the way to the 2nd last day of the convention.

Kennedy wants Clinton to drop out.

Carter wants the delegates to follow the will of the people.

Kennedy the Sen from MA endorses the candidate who didn't win the state he represents.

Obama doesn't want old Washington politics but seeks former President Carters endorsement and celebrates the endorsement of the countries second longest serving senator - Kennedy.

This is like those relationships on the soaps.

Kenny from CT write:

Jimmy Carter? Isn't he meeting with Hamas this week for Obama? Why not just endorse him and get it over with.
----------------------------------

Where do you get your news? At the McDonald counter? Or maybe you believe in everything Newt Gingrich says.

You cannot compare a peace activist and a politician. In case you don't know Carter is a RENOWN peace activist and Obama is a politician.

By the way I found Gingrich's attitude very hypocritical. He says one thing to the republican audience and another thing to the rest of America. Isn't he the one who praised the race speech of Obama, then turned and said Carter and Obama had the same agenda?

That kind of hypocrisy from on part of Gingrich remind me the Lewinsky scandal. We just learned recently he had his own affair back then while pretending to have higher moral grounds.

What Carter fails to point out is that Kennedy is now a prominent Obama supporter - still feeling so-entitled, with that spoiled brat personality of his that he prematurely endorsed a candidate who has insufficient experience, hasn't been properly vetted and who now risks splitting the Democratic Party apart in 2008.

People have been blaming Clinton for the emerging divisions - that's not fair. Carter, in this interview, gives us the opportunity to place blame where it belongs - That spoiled brat Ted Kennedy et al who think they can hijack the Democratic Party and create a far left enclave.

There's still time in the Primary season to let the DNC know that traditional Democrats want their voices to be heard.

Hillary Clinton in 2008!!!!!!

Carter is a liberal. He always was. He is also from georgia and his neck of the woods supported Obama over Clinton.

He doenst mention that they will support Mc Cain over Obama, but thats another story.

I like Carter. He was a lousy president but great humanitarian. He can endorse Obama. It wont hurt Clinton. Carter doesnt have much clout for being president.

Carter is a true liberal democrat. These folks tolerated the Clintons. They never LIKED them. Clintons are too far to the center . But they won the white house for 2 terms, and they liked that.

It's cute how Obama supporters attack Hillary because she downed a shot and yet they say nothing about their candidates love affair with the Marlboro man.

If this is a big deal, the supporters are clearly bankrupt of any important issues.

I hear Carter and Gore coming to rescue Obama. It will be great to get a picture of Carter with Hamas for distribution when Carter endorses Barack Husein Obama. The MSM needs to explore whether Obama gets his funds from the middle east funneled through Dearborn, Michigan

So this morning Carter says someone has to encourage Hamas to stop attacks on innocent civilians in Israel.

Excuse me President Carter, Hamas is a terrorist organization, how about stopping all attacks on Israel!

How about if Al Quaeda just targets US millitary instilations in the US and abroad, or government buildings? Is that OK.

What Carter just said was that its ok for Hamas as a terrorist group to attack the Israeli military inside Israel.

That is not ok President Carter and you should be ashamed of yourself.

And why do we care who Carter endorses - he was the worst president ever elected and anyone who would want his endorsement is nuts!

What's wrong the Carter talking to terrorists? Obama is on record as saying he would do the same. Double standards?

The DNC and high powered Democrat leaders are the ones Destroying the Democratic Party.

They had ample notice of the States of Florida and Michigan Governing bodies, changing the voting dates. They failed the people and the democratic party by not Adapting and permit that.

They were playing God and Political fixers with peoples votes.

They told the people of those states, their votes do not count and that they do not care.

They tried to pressure super delegates to commit to a candidate publicly before the convention. Trying to sway voting.

They Talked down on certain candidates trying to sway voting.

So The DNC and high power Democrats and their boy toy Obama to thank, for the Strain on the party.

Ravenhair...You say Carter was the worst President ever. Have you been in a coma the last 7 plus years?

I suppose it means Obama begged Carter NOT to endorse him.

Lance D.

Republicans are responsible for Cuban oppression???

Remember -- Carter was president for four years and followed the same basic policies. Now he's your hero.

Bipolar?

So this morning Carter says someone has to encourage Hamas to stop attacks on innocent civilians in Israel.

Excuse me President Carter, Hamas is a terrorist organization, how about stopping all attacks on Israel!

--S.B.
----------------------------------

You argument is not very logical. The only way one can be certain that attacks from Hamas don't kill civilians is if they stop those attacks.

So to convince Hamas to stop killing innocent civilians means to convince them to stop their attacks all together.

There are many organizations around the worlds that were called terrorists but many of them are now part of the political process in their countries. I hope you know the history of North Ireland and ANC in South Africa to name a few.

Maybe Carter is trying to get the Hamas endorsement for Obama; They would fit right in with Rev Wright and the rest of the scum, terroist, racist - Obama hung out with out of college in Chicago! Kick his but Hill, if not Democrats for Obama!

Republicans are responsible for Cuban oppression???

Remember -- Carter was president for four years and followed the same basic policies. Now he's your hero.

Bipolar?--S
---------------------------------

I think the strongest advocate of the hardline were and still are the republicans. Except the USA haven't gained anything from that stance.

Carter is not my hero, but right now I think he is one the most reasonable voice in American politics.

Who else do you expect to have such a voice? W. Bush who cannot construct a single sentence that is structured and logical?

Please don't call me bipolar. We can have a civilized exchange with a tone of respect.

Obama is so Jealous that Carter is going and not him. He can't stand it.

He wants so bad to prove his Diplomatic skills and foreign relations.

So doing what Obama does best, he will Condemn Carter, rip him apart and call him many names. Like a jealous 10 year old.

It is way past time for Obama to grow up.

Maybe it is time Americans started voting for Grown-ups to be President.

John in Cape May

In fact, an Obama endorsement by Hamas would carry more weight than an endorsement by Carter -- among the idealists who live in dreamland. It would be a nice exchange for the publicity and photo-ops that the terrorists get by being pictured with an ex-American president.

Of course, Obama too would meet with terrorist leaders. He is unmistakably on record saying as much.

Davis - Yea, Bush is a real looser - we have been safe since 9/11 because of the mountains of information we gained in Iraq thanks to our professional military; we've had an excellent economy up until recently, but anyone who knows anything about the economy knows that it moves in cycles, we are way overdue for a downturn, and what is happening now is not Bush's fault - more like the stupid lenders and borrowers who acted foolishly - I don't always agree with Bush, but he has the ability to make the tough decisions ... as for Carter, did you try to get a home loan when he was president - he had our economy so messed up it took years to straighten out; he was a total failure at foreign relations - a weak leader who couldn't do anything right - it took a Republican who again had the ability to do something to get anything done - and the Iranians were so intimidated by him they released our hostages before they felt his rath. No, I haven't been in a coma - just have some common sense.

I'm trying to determine who is the bigger moron -- Carter or Obama. I'm stuck! Can anybody help me?

Obama was recorded saying in the Chicago newq paper Electronic Intifada.net march 4th 2007 to Ali Abhumina the cofounderof the paper that he was sorry he couldn't speak about Palestine He's in the middle of a campaign and when things calm down he could be MORE UP FRONT. And that is when he just finished reassuring AICP the american jewish organization in Chicago that he has Israel's interest at heart. Enough with lies. Enough with the bias.

Carter the worst president in history? Far from it. We need to get a Democrat back in the White House, after the last disastrous 8 years. Unfortunately, if Obama is the nominee, we'll be stuck with 4 more years of disaster under McCain. WAKE UP AMERICA, OBAMA IS UNELECTABLE. He's the one tearing the party apart.

IF OBAMA GETS THE DEMOCRATIC NOMINATION I WILL VOTE REPUBLICAN FOR PRESIDENT FOR THE FIRST TIME IN MY LIFE. OBAMA WOULD NOT STAND FOR ALL THE PEOPLE JUST A SELECT FEW. MICHELLE SAID THAT SHE WOULD HELP BLACKS ABOVE ALL OTHERS AND SHE HAS JUST LATELY BECOME TO BE PROUD OF HER COUNTRY. HE LOOKS DOWN ON FOLKS IN SMALL TOWNS. I AM PROUD TO BE AN AMERICAN.

Iswear Carter is becoming senile. There things we are not being told here.I mean who in his right mind would take on a trip such as this in the middle of a campaign??? if it were not for a political statement!!!! It is like turning missles facing Israel.
Why not an OBAMA/Osama ticket or the other way around while we're at it?. Hamas never wanted peace with Israel Only its destruction.The United States is its only ally. Obama is not going to keep that promise with Israel.

S,
Well we all know Hillary will run the country, the other one I am not so sure about. He'd have to ask somebody what to do or who to talk to first.

Thank you Holmes

According to Rasmussen, Hillary now leads Obama nationally. Obama's favorable rating has plunged to under 50%.

Maybe democrats are smarter than I thought.

..... (Sorry, lost my head)

As regards the Hillary binge drinking, I have to admit I was half asleep when I read the papers and I was just as dissapointed as all the rest when I realized it was THAT kind of shot that Hillary took. I figured she was under sniper fire again.

I'm sure Obama's response to the newest polling data will be met with a veiled tirade about residual racism. He's just that way!

Who cares if Hillary had a shot and a beer? Like none of you have ever done that before.

These leaders need to stop being cowards and come out and support Hillary, now!

Just kidding.

Who would support that lying fool. She is the most transparent person in America.

Interesting postings. Obviously, Americans would never face the truth about your country. We will see how far down the ladder you will drag your country, which used to be the most admired in the world. I guess 8 years of GW Bush is not enough to come to your senses. Keep sticking to the ignoble parts of your pasts and detest change to something better for the future.

P_Toronto- Please mind your own business, neighbor. We can handle our own family disputes, thank you. Peace and OBAMA 08!!

Face it Obama-nuts. According to Rasmussen, Obama's favorable numbers have plummeted -- now under 50%. Hillary now leads the empty suit NATIONALLY! Check it out!

And just think where his numbers will be in the next poll -- after voters have dissected his anti-rural-American speech.

Wait a minute so now that the news is out that Carter is going to meet Hamas, there is also news that he has not endorsed anyone especially Obama?

So why did every news media house weeks ago printed how much Carter was praising Obama when he was in Africa, and took it as a hit that he was going to endorse Obama?

Carter did hit at which direction he was going when he told the Nigerian papers
We are very interested in the primaries. Don’t forget that Obama won in my state of Georgia.

My town, which is home to 625 people, is for Obama, my children and their spouses are pro-Obama. My grandchildren are also pro-Obama.

As a superdelegate, I would not disclose who I am rooting for but I leave you to make that guess.

Who do you guys think you are fooling? People do read and they do remember, so now why all the backtracking on the Carter endorsement of Obama?

SJ

Obama and Carter. Two peas in a pod.

How could one possibly believe Carter would support Clinton?

Two liars that is what I am seeing now that they want to hug and kiss Hamas. They feel this will have a fall out for Obama so with the help of the media they are now coming and pushing this line that Carter never hinted at endorsing Obama.

This is disgusting reporting by the media to even be part of this roost on the American public, just as they have ignored the fact that Kerry and Kennedy were very vocal in support of the war in Iraq but act as if Hillary is the bad witch from the west, because she voted for the war.

My mother tought me that "poeple will judge you not just on or merits but also the friends you keep"
Obamas friends include: Wright, Meeks and Carter. Not a great list.

THERE WILL BE WAY WAY MORE PEOPLE VOTING FOR MCCAIN IF HILLARY STEALS THE NOMINATION

BELIEVE ME........

Dave, The friends that we keep eh? McCain was a member of the Keating 5 outlaw gang. And lets not even start naming all the questionable people surrounding the Clintons because I would need to write a novel.

My mother tought me that "poeple will judge you not just on or merits but also the friends you keep"
Obamas friends include: Wright, Meeks and Carter. Not a great list-dave
-----------------------------------
Dave,

Your mother was right, but you forgot what she said about Character!!

A best will always mix with the worst, knowing he/she has nothing to fear about his character.

It is the Middle who avoid the worst and keeps at distance afraid they will change his/her character!!
(PS: Clinton kicks Mark Penn for his Colombian ties)

VOTE FOR THE BEST, VOTE FOR OBAMA!!

OBAMA08!! YES WE CAN!!
PS:

taking with hamas ? about what? they have consistantly denied israel's right to exist,they want the right of return,to what,to lands they left 62 years ago when their religous leaders told them to,at that they left to live under petty dictators while the arabs that remained are full voting citizens of israel with representatives in parliment.talk to hamas that takes over gaza with the gun,talk with hamas that shoots unguided rockets and sends suicide bombers into israel.yea carter is a great role model that we as democrats should listen to ,not.

As I see it we are headed for a ONE party state, one that like all of the rest the world has ever seen has nothing but the intests of the party in mind when it does anything.
Obama is not a man of the poeple, come on he's a Havard educated lawyer, I don't know any Havard educated lawyers who have anything in common with the poior sod earning 40 grand or less a year. The dems are nothing more than a bunch of Lennenists, only with big smiles on there faces

So what if people vote for McCain instead of Obama at least they are not being hypocritical as some Obama supporters.

Take a look at any 9/11 video or pics where persons were jumping our of windows rather then end up being burnt to death and ask yourself is any country in the world deserves that, or should of just taken that hit and done nothing?

Look at the destruction and sadness 9/11 caused and tell me is any of you did not feel anger and just wanted to talk with who ever was responsible for this, or try through diplomacy to encourage them to be a little kinder towards us in the future.

It's hypocritical to pretend that the war should not of been started just because it has not turned out as expected, but if we went in and was out by now am sure all the same talkers would of be praising the USA for a job well done.

Obama with his fake speech on the war and he feels he knows what is right for this country, yeah he can always say he was right because he was not in a position to push the button, but then again he has a attitude of pressing the switch then saying opps wrong one.

dave,

A Harvard educated lawyear, who paid his student loan at age 45 (after elected as a US Senator and making 2 millions from his books), worked as a community organizer instead of making millions like a normal Harvard educated layer.

That is a true American story!
Face of the American Dream!

OBAMA08!! YES WE CAN!!

YES WE CAN!!
What a stupid slogan. Reminds me of a children's show.

YES WE CAN LIE!!!! that is what he really needs to say.

YES WE CAN STOP THE CLINTON LIES!!
VOTERS PROVED IT!! THEY WILL PROVE IT AGAIN!!

OBAMA08!! YES WE CAN!!

Kennedy did fight the winner all the way to and through the convention and he wouldn't endorse the winner--------That was 28 years ago. In 28 years, we've had one democratic president and twenty years of republican big money interests and look where it's gotten us. The Clintons have no hope of winning this election fair and square. If we get a third Bush term this fall, they'd better have lots of money. They're going to need to move to another country.

It could also say "YES WE DIDN'T MEAN TO SAY THAT".

SJ- I think you are confused, you see, 911 was implemented by Usama Bin Laden and his terror cell. The Iraq War had NOTHING to do with 911. This is why reasonable people opposed it. It was an unamerican war. We attacked first someone who never attacked us, and thats not a good thing by good old American standards. I can assure you that John Wayne would never accept us attacking someone without provocation. We attacked Iraq just because we couldnt catch Bin Laden. Its like you running by me and poking me in the eye, but your too fast for me to catch, so I go beat up your neighbor. Thats why its an unjust war.

"YES WE DIDN'T MEAN TO SAY THAT".
and no we didn't attend those sermons either

JJ you sound like Chamberline pre WWII.

yes we are marxist and carter has never met a terrorist he has never liked,obama if elected will be a president like carter ,blame ourselves for our troubles its americas fault,for those too young to remeber regan won the presidancy by telling america that we were the greatest nation not that we were bitter.go ahead support obama who has consorted with marxists since childhood,if that is the change you all are talking about i want none of it!

JJ do you understand that the moral code that the Islamic world uses is totally different from the one we in the west uses. Honour is more important than justice to them. Women are only worth Half that of a man, if you don't believe what we believe we will KILL you, etc.

The problem with Hillary and Bill is that they are NOT AUTHENTIC. You could even read it from Hillary's facial expression. She is too FAKE. However, it is becoming clearer to me that DECEPTION is what you need to win an election in America, and these goes all the way to define who Americans really are: GULLIBLE, if not how can Clinton still be in the race to be the leader of the "MOST GULLIBLE country in the World"
In the case of Obama, he is too AUTHENTIC for America politics. Good for him, he is being schooled on how in America, politician should not speak the TRUTH. Here, you can't just continue to be honest with your words and expect to win votes. The way to do politics in America is to tell the people what they want to hear, even if it is not the TRUTH. Drink whiskey where voters love to drink whiskey, claim you are an avid hunter where people like hunting even if you have never shoot a catapult. Obama if you want to win an election in America, GO AND LEARN HOW TO TELL LIES!

Dave, Yes I do understand that they have a different society than ours. I certainly dont agree with their ways and the fact that they believe women dont have souls, but it is their way, and they have a right to be that way. What right do we have to attack and kill them and force them to accept our ways? Pre-emptive attacks are bully tactics. They are an excuse to become an agressor, and what does it do for us to be seen as an agressor? It makes us more hated and foments more violence, it does no good at all. We have thrown alot of money away and destroyed many lives for nothing. It matters not when we leave that area because as soon as we do they will choose their own government and change to what they want. Most of them detest us for trying to make them be like us. We have seen what attacking a nation when we only "think" they are a threat does for us. We now see that they had NO WMDs, and actually were no threat. We cant attack the rest of the world just because a few of them hate us and want to kill us. All muslims are not bad, but there are some that would have us destroyed. We cant just attack the world.

Good for you, President Carter.

Let the race run its course. This is just what democracy is all about. Noone needs to silence any one candidate when the race is this tight and close and when there are votes still not counted in MI and FL. And when there are quite a few states still to vote.

There's alot left to be played out. Unknowns about candidates are yet to be revealed.

Give it the time it needs for the truth to be uncovered about the candidates.

And let America freely and fairly vote.

Those who want to silence the voters and to end the process are afraid of something ... Losing the White House is the least of our worries.

Choosing the right candidate for the Presidency of the United States far supercedes the interest of any one party.

Vote America ...

You are a good man, President Carter.
You have a good heart ..
Let the democratic process fairly work in the interest of the country first, before any one party

dave ,i am a moderate democrat that owns a small business,i beleive in universal health care ,i beleive in green business,i will hold my nose and vote for mcain if hillary does not get the nomination.also if you want to call the clintons marxist the so was FDR ,not.obama has associated with his uncle frank{frank davis communist party usa}sought out marxist professors in collage his own words,joined a black liberation church for 20 years and associated with a self admitted domestic terrorist{william ayers}carter thinks that everyone should just get along,not.

Giz - good for you ...

Same with me. If Obama is the Democratic nominee, FOR THE FIRST TIME IN MY ADULT LIFE, I WILL BE PROUD TO VOTE REPUBLICAN TOO.

Jimmy Carter is a joke. One of the worst presidents of all time. He left with the economy in shambles, brought the fascists to Iran, and his "nice" foreign policy brought more totalitarian regimes to the world. Now, he insists on trying to mess things up for other administrations.

According to polls, far more Clinton supporters say they won't vote for Obama than vice versa.

It looks to me like a good many of Clinton's supporters share her mean-spirited self-centered contemptuous nature.

Don tufts, I have lived with a universal health care in the past and I can tell you as much as it sounds like a good idea it's not, as with any national system(education) there has to be some kind of LOCAL control, thus Local control over taxes, so you end up with a Zip Code system that does nothing but causes trouble between the different income brackets.

JJ, so we should just stand back and let them do to us what your saying we are doing to them.

NewsprismGuy,
No they just don't like the empty suit make promises they can't or won't deliver. We also don't need somebody we don't know anything about.

Carter is becoming senile, he was senile in the late 70's when he was the President. The name did more harm to the West and its values than any man woman and child that has lived in the last 100 years.

Dave, Listen man I love this country and want to protect it just like you, in fact I served it for 6 years and would gladly lay down my life defending it. However I wont condone attacking people just because we "think" they might be a threat. It is called "self defense" and we should certainly do everything in our power to exercise that defense, but "self defense" is about reacting to attacks not about attacking someone you think might attack you. Imagine if everyone who practiced Judo attacked anyone they considered "may" attack them. How many innocents would be hurt by someone who is supposed to be defending? Its always important to be aware and ready to defend yourself, but its not admirable to be an attacker.

Hillary is a repulsive phony !

Every word, every expression is fake.

Never thought anyone could be as sickening as Bush but she is worse..

JJ I do to, this country is by far the best place I have ever lived, it's people are simple put the best that humanity has to offer. I agree that the Iraq situation is not ideal, but once your have splild the milk, you had better clean it up.

ProgressivePam
Who do you think is more dangerous? A decorated war hero, or somebody you know nothing about. You have no clue what Obama's agenda is.

Obama is a repulsive phony !

Every word, every expression is fake.

Never thought anyone could be as sickening as Bush but he is worse..

Granted, Obama might be "giving" Republicans some ammunition for the general election, but do you honestly feel there is any Republican out there who wouldn't have a field day if Hillary was the Dem nominee? I mean, come on, the Republicans have literally been praying for this for some time, and if you think the attacks wouldn't end with Obama, multiply that by a couple 100 and you'd get Hillary totally crushed. Personally, I'd sit that election out.

One of Minnesota's last uncommitted Democratic superdelegates is backing Barack Obama, the Obama campaign announced Sunday.

Nancy Larson, of Dassel, a Democratic National Committee member, told The Associated Press she decided to support Obama because his campaign will bring new people into the political process, and she believes he has the best chance of winning in November.

"It's looking more and more that the one person who can do it is Barack Obama," Larson said.

But Larson said the choice wasn't easy. As one of the last two uncommitted superdelegates in Minnesota, Larson had been lobbied heavily by Obama's and Hillary Clinton's campaigns. She said she spent countless hours speaking with the campaigns and others about her choice.

Larson joins eight other Minnesota superdelegates who are supporting Obama. Three are backing Clinton.

Larson's announcement leaves Rep. Collin Peterson as the only uncommitted superdelegate from the state.

Our National Security Advisor doesn't know the difference between Nepal and Tibet? We need help!

Thinking ...

Just means Obama promised him more than Clinton did. It's that simple!

Since when that Obama is considered the winner of the election. The Obama people keeps counting the chickens before they are hatched.
Obama has no legitimate claim to the nomination unless they secured enough pledge delegates to be a clear winner.
The legitimate tie-breaker is at the convention. Obama is hurting Hillary's chance as much as Hillary does to him and Pelosi, Leahy, etc are bending the party rules in favour of Obama. This is against the standing order of the party.
The only count which is important in the election is electoral vote. Without Michigan and Florida, the party is an obvious loser running against the conservatives with crazy liberals like Randi Rhodes.

ruthmatters 9:56:45am. I've been deleted several times. The other night I posted the line McCain said on American Idol. All 3 had cameo appearances. He compared AI to a presidential race except AI counts all the votes. Just thought it was funny. Hillary and Obama( with a flag behind him)did regular comments and I pointed out that Obama always positions himself in front of American Flags-the more the better-the bigger the better. I believe the post was pulled within 5 minutes.
