Obama Says Opponents Focusing on Character, Not Policy

What's amazing is that he thinks character doesn't matter when picking a president.

Oh I think they have focused on policy long enough Obama. Just how many times can a person look at the word "change" and talk about it.

Obama is done anyway. The other article says Hillary is the only candidate that can beat McCaine. Oh well Obama, better luck in the future.

The person running for President should be held to a higher standard. Is Obama surprised by the scrutiny he is receiving? Maybe that explains the lack of good judgement in picking his friends and business associates. Or is it that radical left wing liberals really don't understand why some Americans would object to a presidential candidate having former American terrorists as friends, a corrupt Syrian businessman as a friend, or a racist pastor for 20 years. Yes, character does matter - especially when you are claiming to be about a new kind of politics, implying your superior character.
GO HILLARY 08!

Republican swift-boating has long begun, with the Hillbillies cheering from the sidelines. Still, Obama stands tall for change.

"So you can stick your little pins in that voodoo doll
I'm very sorry, baby, doesn't look like me at all
I'm standing by the window where the light is strong."
- L. Cohen

It is suprising to hear that from OB since the OB camp has been zeroed in Hillary's Bosnia sniper incident for the last few weeks in Penn State. I guess it's all politics as usual, no matter how you cut it.

What this really boils down to is that Hillary is trying to sell the idea that a black candidate can't win, but she needs a way to say it without sounding like the bigot she is. She also assumes that white voters don't want to vote for a black man, and she figures that if she can just give them an excuse NOT to vote for Obama, she can beat him via the racist vote. And she has finally latched onto a few handy excuses, including crazy old Wright (who conveniently happens to be black, too, an easy way to keep color in play without actually saying it) and the nonsense about Obama being an "elitist" (this from Hillary, of all people). That's simply code for "he's not like you - he's black, but now you guys have an excuse not to support him."

Character does matter,

Learn how to read, THAT is what the man is saying. Between the two of them, I'd rather suffer through an Obama admin. before suffering through a Clinton one. In fact, if I were not voting for McCain and I had to pick someone else - I would pick him over her.

Only TRUE DIE HARD SUPPORTERS of Clinton, and I mean total dumb as/'es think this woman has characther. She has none, she has proven her characther is ZERO.

Face it, we were right about the Clinton's. We told you all then, they were morally challenged disgusting pigs of people and you all defended them to the death. Well, Well, Wellllll...they themselves have proven us "vast right wing" Republicans correct!

A guy at work told me, he said: "There will NOT be another Clinton Administration. I don't care if Rev. Wright damns my mother, I will never vote for another Clinton again...see he understand the context in which the man delivered the message. And if Hillary's pastor had delivered that same message, you all would understand it as well. Regardless, the man is correct, THERE WILL NEVER BE ANOTHER CLINTON ADMINISTRATION. Hillary herself has sought to that.

But when we question his experience, we're told that it's his charicter that mattters, so aren't we supposed to be questioning his experience?

Also, obama's campain is so quick to cry racism because he's black, why do they never use those race cards when people call him a muslim?

Thanks for illistraiting my point george.

Please read The Los Angeles Times on 04/27/08 issue under the heading " Obama donor recieved State Grant" . What's up with that soon-to-be-another-scandall?

It was always assumed that the first black candidate for President that had a real chance to be elected would have to be superior in so many ways -- like Harvard Law Review, College Professor, community organizer, and a great speaker. Barack is all of those things and since they can not go after him, they go after his associates.

Starting with the Keating Five I believe John McCain has his own associate problems. Unfortunately you can not reduce the Keating Five to a series of sound bites.

Obama supporters are so like him it every one's fault but his he is the one who knows this man he is a mentor ,like his uncle, a family member he knows what Wright stands for the same arrogant things America needs to change were all wicked all his MSM friends need help also I am done even trying to be fair this man is crazy if he thinks he can be presidentthier are alot of pi__ed off white people tonight.

Character is important for a President to have! We can liken this race to another race back in history---the race of the century. Obama does not want another debate as the last one his "character" took a beating and if he is ahead then just spend dollars on ads, and commercials and he may still win. No effort needed. Yet, this voice keeps coming, I'll debate you on your terms. Come show the American people what you have. Sounds just like the owners of that tiny race horse from the past called "Sea Biscuit". Hillary is like Sea Biscuit, she is mighty, strong, enduring, has stamina and strength as we all have seen over the many past months. She doesn't give up, takes criticism with the best of them. Perhaps like the Biscuit she will surprise many and take this race. I like apple pie, the American flag, our traditions, our memories of better days, and we don't need to "change" America, we just need to improve America. We have magnificent people, dedicated people, people with compassion and high ideals. We do not need people like the Rev. Wright to tell us we are awful. We try to do our best and we are a caring nation---no nation in the world gives more money to charity, or help to other countries more than the US. Vote Hillary and watch another race make history.

Couldn't agree more Boondock, but, unfortunately folks would rather talk about a slightly wacky ex-pastor who is clearly seeking his moment in the sun, rather than issues like the war (shall we stay for 100 years?)or the economy (a subject Senator McCain admits he knows nothing about).

If Obama becomes the nominee (I sincerely hope not) then the candidates who endorsed Obama will also lose their elections and DNC will be doomed. All the blame on Dean, Pelosi and the media who force fed Obama to 2/3 of the country who already voted.

Chiman

I sortof cringed at that super tuesday strategy I think that they effectively forfeited the caucus states and people liek Wright were runningthe show there and strong armed people etc but I think that it wont do the party too much harm if it is resolved now and Hillary can win in 1 or both of the next states then she can wrap it up before JUne in the next primaries

I think everyone here tonight is stringing the logic together that shoulve been brought out a long time ago it is up to us after all to determine who wins and I hope NC and IN do the right thing

Its amazing how smart real democrats can be when the Obama stepford children go to sleep ... keep up the good fight

Staniam - thank you for verifying my hypothesis - I'm sure you got all your information about Wright's NAACP presentation from the MSM and blogs?? Didn't bother to listen to the whole thing or the his entire sermons?? Ever been to an African American church?? Didn't think so.

Just another bit of smoke to support my belief that Obama is a Manchurian candidate
