America needs change. AMerica is desperate for change. President Obama will restore America's image and prestige around the world! OBAMA 2008! YES WE CAN!

I feel bad for the GOP, they are about to lose ALL...the presidency to Obama, the Senate and the House...

This guy's blatant arrogance continues to amaze me, acting like he is already the nominee! The more he does this, the more of an insult it is to Sen. Clinton and her supporters. Sen. Obama has a lot to learn in a lot of areas, but especially in how to be a graceful winner. If he does win the Presidency, I give it 6 months max before all of those followers who voted for him based on no substance begin to see he can't "change" anything any faster than any other politician. He just had better advisors who knew how to manipulate people in mass during the primary season. (And I STILL say the whole cutting loose of Rev. Wright was staged, the man has totally dropped out of sight now)

Wow! What a lot of Obama bashing! I think I understand some of it. When my own candidate loses it's natural for me to imagine "it CAN'T be because most of the people simply like the opponent more. It HAS to be manipulation or something dishonest." Democracy is simple, but not easy.

For myself, I like Obama. I don't like Hillary. Period. Democracy is simple, but it's not easy when you lose.

The people of Iowa are still Fired Up about Barack Obama! He will win this great state! Can't wait until Tuesday!

I was in favor of the dream ticket at first but the Clintonites made me change my mind. If they don't learn to respect Barack Obama then Hillary has no reason to be on the ticket. Obama should rather put someone on the ticket who will add value. I think of Jim Webb of VA, Ms Sebelius of KS, Chuck Hagel of NEB, Bloomberg of NY or Bill Richardson of New Mexico.

No drama Obama!

A well ran campaign.
A well earned victory.

To all those wise Americans who donated to make Obama's campaign the richest in American history, they have to be happy that their hard earned monies were well spent.

And President Obama will run the US government as efficiently as effectively and as successfully as he ran his campaign.

Some of Hillary's supporters have gone off the deep end. They just can't accept losing fair and square, and have to find something to lash out at... the people have chosen Obama, and that's a fact.

There is a lot of Obama bashing and a lot of ignorant comments by very bitter people
who can't imagine anyone black doing so well in 'their'America. But this to shall pass. And Obama will win because the whites who the bitter ones follow will tell them to swallow their pride and vote Obama because there is something in the pot for them. In other words, the whites will vote black for the same reason that blacks have been voting white for all of these years in our American democracy. You hold your nose and you vote for your stomach. Peace.

What with the emotional embrace of LOSERS, Americans?
Are Americans losing self-esteem?

There is unfortunately a huge disconnect in America; and that is why the country is presently in such bad shape.

Bush is a loser; yet Americans elected and re-elected him to destroy the country.

The worse attack (911) on Americans took place in Bush's first term; yet some Americans did not take the hint to not re-elect a loser?

Now we have the Clintons running a very very shoddy campaign and wasting donations of Americans; yet Americans want another loser as their leader?
What's up with that?

What with the emotional embrace of LOSERS?
Are Americans losing self-esteem?

Of course we Iowans will still support Mr. Obama.
Maybe we can dispense with the rest of the country and just go with the Iowa caucuses in the future....

If Michigan and Florida wanted their votes to count, their elected officials should have stuck to the schedule that 48 other states adhered to! What makes them so special that they can break the rules and not pay the consequences!? Senator Clinton didn't give a hoot about them being "disenfranchised" until she NEEDED THEIR VOTES TO WIN!! The DNC should stick with the rules that 48 other states played by and Florida and Michigan should follow the rules like every other state from now on! I'm sick of hearing about them being disenfranchised by Obama--they have no one to blame but their elected officials for that!

I'm a bitter old white guy and I'm voting for Obama. No amount of "creative" math will put Hillary anywhere but back to New York or Arkansas or West Virginia or Kentucky or wherever she claims to be from these days.

Is Obama sure where he is and where he is going?

He has been so confused lately

Yes we can! I, for one, am so grateful to Iowa. The hell with Florida and Michigan. If they wanted a voice, they should have gotten off their lazy arses and voted Democrats that weren't just seeking power for themselves in. They knew the rules and no changes are allowed after the contest begins. The candidates signed off on the rules, so to say that not playing by the rules now entitles them to be more important only highlights their quest for power, their ineptness and their incompetence. Learn the friggin rules, play by them and learn how to be winners and not whiners!

All the other states played by the rules, but we weren't on vacation or living off the taxpaid social security checks. We work hard for the money that supports them AND we played by the rules. Therefore OUR votes matter much, much more than the retired old foggies living in Florida and the illegal immigrants that support Hillary's free healthcare!

I still don't get this experience people mention of mcCain or Hillary....I know teenagers more mature than people in their 20's...Hillary makes wrong decisions, yet someone 20 years her junior is smarter, more intelligent, and is going to win the american presidency not because he's black but because he's smart.

Great - Iowa and then he's on to the 56 other states!

These blogs are simply amazing! You know there is a book entitled, Queen Bees and Wanna Be's and some of the entries here sound like they are a member of a Queen Bee club.

Identity issues for children who are inter-racial are quite complex and some never resolve them, so Obama's journey sounds pretty typical to me. If you really want to know for yourself, why don't you ask an interracial friend, if you have one.

If you don't support Obama, fine. However perpetuating mythology is troubling. I empathize with disappointment but to act out in anger or denial is something different all together.

Wait unitil Obama ask McCain about his savings and loans crises back in the late 80's and how a lot of people lost their living and McCain was involved. Also, his wife investments in Africa that is questionable.Beteen MCCain and George W. there's a lot of dirt to go around. As for Michelle hating this country, tell me what flags has she burned, what racist comments she has lashed out against this nation. Michelle Obama is a Black women and I'm quite sure her experience is different than yours.What is love ? speaking the truth even when it hurts?

It's funny that it's white America who has put Obama in the spotlight and if he's all of what your are saying then I could only image what us white people think about blacks.I mean: who's the fool, the fool, our the fool who followes the fool. I bet you if a lot of blacks lived in your neighborhood you would sell your house and move. However, if you moved into a black neighborhood the blacks will stay in their homes. You tell me , is this a black experience or just hate ?

It is not the Clinton supporters living in dreamland. If this won fair but it has not been. Obama supporters have done many things they have not taken credit for. Obama does a great inspirational speech but never answers any specific questions. And, the media have been very kind to him compared to Hillary. He has their help justifying everything. Obama makes a comment about our 57 states and hardly any MSM has brought it up. If it had been Hillary, it would still in the news. There are many examples but it won't change those who are under his spell.

The media has not been fair or kind to Obama either. The media tried to destroy his campaign.They brought up his school in Indonesia as a madrasa, his cocaine use, he's a muslism, unpatriotic, is he white enough ?, Rezno trial, smoking, wife Michelle, Myers underground , no experience, Rev Wright, he's Black, NAFTA, etc. and it just keeps bouncing off of the him. Now, Hillary Clinton was the presumtive nominee. However, when your opponent out maneuvers you, such as: raised more money, out campaigned you, caused you to cry in New Hampshire,planned ahead, out spent you 2 to 1, won more states, won more endorsements, went up against the so called Clinton machine and never had to loan himself any money to run your own campaign, I think he has deserved to be the nominee just on those merits alone.How did she allow an African American who is so called in- experience, perform better? How could Hillary run this country when she can't even run her own campaign ? Also, he went up against a 2 term President Mr. Bill Clinton and they still to this day can't stop him.Hillary was up in the polls in all of the states before the campaign began. I believe this campaign is ordained by God or destined and nothing is going to stop him from winning. The only thing America can do is assassinate the man. Nevertheless, Obama has won this thing fair and square, using the party rules. Hillary Clinton era is over and it's time for a new frontier and new directions for this nation. All of the elected officials before us , have failed the American people and I think it's time for an African American to get us back on track. And Amerca don't like losers, we have always given the winners the Glory..

Don't mention about speaking. I don't know how in the world George W. Bush became President. He can't even speak at all. No wonder he doen't want to speak with his enimies, because he doesn't know how to speak.If you listen to Obama or go on his website , he is very clear on his position regarding his plan for Amerca. You guys hear what you want to hear. I bet you can't explain yourself regarding Hillary's plan for this country.Obama has a plan, you just caught up in the rhetoric from the media and your bias friends.

I caucused for John Edwards in January. Since Edwards dropped out of the race, we are all rooting for OBAMA in IOWA.

I hear Obama is holding a fundraiser in Florida next week - what a hypocrite! He has been doing everything possible to negate the votes of millions in Florida and Michigan, yet he has the audacity to ask for their money. I cannot believe that anyone with half a brain cannot see this man for the inexperience, arrogant, disingenuous pretender that he is. Please wake up America before it's too late.

csquan - to answer your question... I live in Iowa... never supported Obama and never will. He will never get my vote.

Grammy Barb that was a good answer dito for me in Ohio
