GOD BLESS McCAIN.

i commute to school and to work as do 2 members of my family-that means a $210.oo break on gas for the summer and very likely more than that. for me that helps allot. i agree that we need long-term solutions-as does hillary. obama on the other hand has no immediate solution-and is instead critical of those that do.

answer to A- for your information gas was 89 cents a gallon under bill clinton.

For those of you that are using the Wright controversy, flag-pins, and "bitterness," to define Barack Obama:
Don't you realize that you are being manipulated by media spin? What does Wright have to do with anything that is important? To say accept this flawed logic, is to accept the assumption that we are a society of small minds and ambitions. America greatness is derived from our ability to tackle the challenges of our time, and overcome them through our cooperation and ingenuity. We shall not select our next President based on oversimplifications and distractions, but rather the leadership and and content of ones character. Throughout his entire campaign, Obama has demonstrated sensibility and wisdom. He delivered an articulate, honest, address on the issue of race in this nation. He has demonstrated wisdom by realizing that this gas-tax holiday would do nothing more than increase the price of fuel in the long run, and gut our national infrastructure. This should be obvious to everybody.
The bottom line is this: as long as we continue to allow vested, corporate interests to think for us, we will never be as free as our Constitution intends us to be. The power is ours, not theirs.
Vote Obama.

LOL I knew Obama would have to drag a Kennedy into his equation somewhere! Bye bye Barry; we aren't buying what you're selling!

Good stuff...
Pretty sad reading the comments from Hillary "supporters" (or conservative plants). Goes to show how much Obama has to be the next President.

If Hillary is so damn sincere,about the tax holiday, why hasn't she sponsored a 'bill' in the senate. Thats what her plan will take!
And won't it be something if its co-sponsored by McCain...

This is somewhat sad, a lot sad. Please excuse my ‘rural’ sense of humor.
Hillary, on the campaign trail the other day, said “bet on the filly”. Of coarse she meant it as a metaphor, about the Derby and her own race. BUT, did ya’ll see what happened?
Big Brown won the race. The filly came in second, broke BOTH her front legs and was killed on the spot…
Ya’ll just think about how that “pertains” to the Democratic race.
Big Brown 08

What else can Barack Obama do? What else can the man say? What can he do to separate himself from “the preacher” and his blathering? Nothing, I would suggest, and he shouldn’t have to do another thing to distance himself from the hate filled and divisive rhetoric. He has done all he can do, and it is sad enough that the Traditional Media will not focus on issues that really matter to the American people.

The one thing that really has gotten pushed by the Traditional Media the last couple of days is the questioning of whether or not Sen. Obama has waited too long to respond about Rev. Wright. Is it too late for Obama, they ask.

But wait; hold on for a sec, what was the Philadelphia speech all about? Did he not answer the Rev. Wright question then, and do so in a most presidential way, standing high above the fray and discussing topics that others would treat as a political 3rd rail. Yes he did, for 5 weeks he did this, but it seems that the Traditional Media was not listening.

But now, after coming out and denouncing and distancing himself, yet again, from the man he had already denounced and distanced himself from, it seems it might not be enough. All the while, I imagine Sen. Obama wishes he had lied, in such a bold faced way to America and the world, about running for cover under threat of sniper fire. That is, lied knowingly to the American people, in an attempt to bolster a theoretical claim to 35 years of presidential experience. If he had, the story would have lasted a week, and then it would have gone away.

What else can the man do, when it appears by all rational standards, that the Traditional Media will not let it go? They have ignored the chance for an honest inquest into the character of a person running for the highest office. A person who admitted knowingly lied to the American people was let off the hook without a peep. A person, that the majority of the American public, does not trust in the first place.

A person, who has sided with the McCain camp, allowed the opposition to attack one of their own while standing silently by, and has at every turn distorted truths to win a position that they obviously feel entitled to, gets a nod, and is allowed to pass on by.

And the Traditional media, which until this last outburst by Rev. Wright, as been the only contributing factor to the Obama-Wright story, now asks if Obama has waited too late to speak about his former pastor. Does anyone else see the insanity of this?

We have trusted the 4th Estate to keep the focus on the government, to bring about issues that truly matter to Americans, and to do so in a fair and impartial manner. They have failed, for the most part, in the keeping this trust secure. They have become complacent, lazy, fearful, and above all political. They have become the lowest form of journalism; Yellow.

I've read all of the blogs that are here today. And I want to thank all of you that has touched on the blue collar folks. My question has been, do these people really not read much or comprehend. I find it hard to believe that they will sit back and have Hillary talk down to them like that. If I was a blue collar white voter, I would be asking my self what am I missing, why is it that my more educated brothers and sisters can hear and understand Sen. Obama's message. And because I want vote for him does that make me racist? And why want any one tells us that we are as racist as we consider Rev. Wright.

I hope and pray that someone in the blue collar communities have a child or grandchild that can read and comprehend and maybe just maybe they will get a clue.

Obama first figured which process can be manipulated? Caucus or Primary? As soon as he knew, CAUCUS can be MANIPULATED, he saw the window. Raise money, recruit people, spread HILLARY- HATRED, teach the kids (older ones can not be fooled, Obama knew)to be CLASS-LESS. So when they aggressively MANIPULATE/HARASS the causcus-goers, they don't feel bad.

THAT's a great CAMAIGN! And Superdelegates are just flabbergasted!!

Maya Angelo, a Clinton endorser, states the following:

I am inspired by her courage and her honesty. She is a reliable and trustworthy person. She is someone I not only admire but one for whom I have profound affection.

Hillary does not waver in standing up for those who need a champion. She has always been a passionate protector of families. As a child, she was taught that all God’s children are equal, and as a mother, she understood that her child wasn’t safe unless all children were safe. As I wrote about Hillary recently in a praise song: “She is the prayer of every woman, and every man who longs for fair play, healthy families, good schools and a balanced economy

President Hillary Rodham Clinton !

Since Indiana requires picture ID's in order to vote, CNN stated that 28% of the African Americans in Indiana do not have valid picture ID's and cannot get them before Tuesdays vote. This will dramatically affect Obama's support there. In North Carolina, Obama was leading Clinton by 30+ points, but now, in the latest poll, Obama is only leading by 6 points. Analysts say that when Hillary wins Indiana, and even loses by single digits in North Carolina, that the Super D's will be doubting Obama's electability. When Clinton wins Indiana and if she wins North Carolina, she will prove her electablitily, thus disqualifying Obama's electability, and the Super D's will come running to support Hillary. If you notice in ALL the polls, Obama's support is fading. According to Gallup, Hillary is the clear candidate that can beat McCain in the GE. Go Hillary !

This was probably one of Obama's best speeches. Hilary doesn't stand much of a chance in this election. Should should gracefully bow out.

Obama, first he said he hadn't heard
Rev Wright's outrageous words, then
made a "great"speech than said he did.
Then he didn't, then he did and threw
Rev Wright under the bus then backed
up and ran over him again. He would no
more disown Rev. Wright than he would
the black community. Hey, black community guess you have been disowned by this prophet, messiah. Obama is a
typical politician who will do or say
anything to get elected. If he gets
the nomination then we are in for another Dukakis, McGovern, Gore, Kerry result.

WOW ABC playing fair once again. Sure wish MSNBC would get a clue. But that
wouldn't make CM's legs tingly would it?

I am still wondering why the media keeps asking why Obama hasn't been able to close the deal yet instead of asking Why hasn't Hillary been able to close this election yet? To me that speaks volumes about not only how she's perceived by america but about her abilities. If she can't close the deal with all that lobbyist money and the help of a ex president, what makes you guys believe she can run the country. I'm also tired of hearing her lie threw her teeth every damn day. We all know her husband is directly responsible for that magnet plant closing and yet she'll put it on Bush and say things will be different when she's president. Don't forget that part of why were in this mess right now is because Bill Clinton allowed Nafta and approved the major sales of a large portion of our workforce to China. Bush continued to screw us but the screwing started before he got in office. I see no reason why it would change if Mrs. Bill Clinton became president. If you want to elect a woman president wait 8 years and support Huffington, she'll do a better job.

Obama can not fool us anymore and the entire Americans...flip flop.

By the way Obama doesn't know what relief and holiday means. Gas relief/holiday is temporary relief and any relief is good and is good for the Americans. If Obama and Bloomberg are opposed then you are no good for America. Wake up superdelegates. The one who are dumb are Bloomberg and Obama. Oh maybe the words relief and holiday are not in Obama's dictionary but only the words bitter, clinging, mocked Wirhgt, Rezco , and Ayers. Shame on you!

Barack Obama has a well thought out campaign for hope. I'm
not claiming him to be perfect, but I'd rather have a candidate who comes
from a frustrated American background as I do, than one who will ride
the blindly patriotic wave to presidency.
Yes, I do believe Obama loves America. And I do to. Yet criticism of
America always pops up in articles such as this one as unpatriotic. The
President of the United States has the lowest approval rate in history,
and we're attacking someone for wanting to do things differently?

Not to mention that Obama's plans are obviously more economically sound.

OK, the gas tax holiday is a great idea if you are an oil man. The feds knock a dime off the gas tax, and Exxon raises its price eleven cents, tells you that you should be happy because it would have been worse without the tax cut, and *then* you go out and pay twenty-cents in some other taxes or just an increase in the deficit to fund the road projects that won't be funded by the gas tax. Exxon is the only winner (or maybe Shell).
