- dang seems like you clinton supporters would be on her interview site posting positives about her campaign. Instead you are all here trying to dog obama with lose accusations of it being a republican plot ,whats next the towers didnt fall on their own ? The gnomes of zurich ? Why not be out there positively supporting your cndidate instead of trying to poisen the obama leaners? Bringing in young voters and have them actually invest in a candidate is a bad thing ? Those "doners still in diapers" are the age of the ones fighting our wars. ahh yes the usual politics. talk policy ,talk issues , not namelss rumors and conspiracy fantasies.

I am an Asian woman of 60. I have never been more excited for our young adults than today. GO! GO vote for you dream, vote for TRUTH -
WISDOM, COMPASSION, AND COURAGE!
VOTE FOR OBAMA!
Here I have a message for Hillary-the-dirty-trick: Do not do unto others what you do not want others to do unto you. What goes around comes around.
Why do you, Hillary constantly want to remind us that you and us women are women? Do you really think all women are two-year-old-don%u2019t-knows? Do you think all women are unhappy souls (like you) that they have to fight (for you)? What are you fighting for, Hillary? What is not enough of you, Hillary? One vote for the "HELL is this thing called WAR" Iraq War isn''t enough? Why create more fight and war to divide our country? Why don''t you want PEACE in this country FOR OUR CHILDREN? Honestly, to me, Hillary, you are so confused (or calculating) that on one hand you want all the women sympathy-votes, but on the other hand you are a real women hater who wants to destroy women by destroying their mind, heart, and soul!
God help those who help themselves. Demand (respect) not from others but from yourself. Hillary, be truthful! When there are not thousands, but hundreds of thousands that "hate" you, there must be a reason.
I have never come across one with wisdom, kindness, and courage being "hated" by so many.
Our nation''s youth is smarter than you Hillary can imagine! - Reply to this comment

- Steve Croft started his interview referring to "Senator Obama" and " Hillary Clinton." I expect sexism from the "good old boys" but not from a national commentator on a network news program.

- #3 KR blurted "It will be a cold day in hell before the American People elect an Islamic senstive with the middle name Hussein, President of this Country! But I know for a fact, they have an extensive file to bury him with as soon as he becomes the candidate. Now, does this explain why, despite h is position in the polls, Obama manages to skirt public scrutiny...trust me it is NOT because he doesn''t have skeletons, he does and plenty big ones, it is because it is not time, not just yet. Do you really think the GOP would say they wanted Hilliary to win if they really wanted her to win? This is the basic "headfake" strategy or simple reverse psychology to promote Obama. Ask yourself, when in the last 12 years the GOP has been publicly straight about anything? So, I will tell you this with great certainty, if the Democrats are to win the Whitehouse it will only be with Hilliary. If the Amercian people really want change, they had better wake up...very soon. (by the way, the three people who made Oprah Winfrey rich...three of the staunchest Republicans in the Country). You don''t have to believe this...just watch the events unfold

- I know for a fact the GOP inner circle confided they can never beat Clinton head to head. So they created a "HEADFAKE". It was this meeting when this exact term was used. Everybody is buying in and like predicted nobody has really put together the pieces. Here are a few. The GOP has contributed over 27% to the Obama campaign through their "dispersion group" further, tens of thousands of GOP sensitive independents have been "encouraged" to support Obama in the Primary to divide and conquer Clinton. At this same meeting, GOP officials agreed to an absolute "hands off" press of Obama until the Pr imary is over. They are exceptionally well positioned to discredit him in the General Election. Anyone who looks at this race must concede Hilliary has been shelled endlessly yet no real blow has landed. Obama has not (yet) even come into the press radar. It is a perfect GOP plan that may yield them the Whitehouse...remember they had no chance 18 months ago. Lastly, at this same GOP strategic meeting a senior GOP party official (with the initials KR) leveled this warning. "I don''t want one, not one, of our outlets (republican controlled press) to address Obama''s middle name (which is Hussein) nor his affiliation with the Islamic faith (it was follwed by a graphic punishiment which I''ll omit). .

- EVERY DEMOCRAT should read this! The GOP has had a strategy since 8-2006 against Hillary Clinton. They knew they had no chance to win the Whitehouse. They elected a strategy was to create division within the DNC. I was at this meeting. Fast forward, they have succeeded well beyond their targeted expectations.

- A good question for the media would be this. If the wealthy and educated all support Barack Obama, why is it that most of his doners give a hundred bucks or less?
Why does Barack Obama lead all candidates in doners who still wear diapers?
Why does Barack Obama have a commanding lead in caucuses where there is little if anything democratic about them unless you think special interest activist are the ones who ought to choose our president?
Just exactly how are you going to make democrats and republicans in congress get along when they haven''t done that in a hundred years?
How are you going to change washington without demanding public campaign financing and making it a crime for congressmen to accept gifts, favors, and cash from special interest?
Your promises require a willing suspension of common sense! - Reply to this comment
- Jim...from... So. California...... Steve Kroft,from, CBS...said: Last saturday that,..."Last February, Barack Obama was a little-known African-American senator from Illinois with a campaign staff of 30,whose only known accomplishments were two best-selling books and a stirring speech at the Democratic convention three years earlier." End Quote. -- Now, I have to ask myself why if that''s true, and I''m sure it is,or Senator Obama, wouldn''t have given the ok to pubilish the interview. That anyone in the country including Mr. Obama, thinks that he has anywhere near enough experience to run the country. It will take more than a silver tongue, dream weaver, who could sell, binoculars to the blind, to actually run things better than President''W''has. Do we want to replace a president ''W'' with a President ''H''? I don''t think so. This country is in great need! We must have a very experienced and ready President, to enter the Whitehouse. A President Hillary Clinton, fills that great need! With her abilities and her experienced team, we will be ready to move forward on day one! New,... and first time voters need to check thereselves. Remember, back in your life. How many of those first time choices were mistakes, that you would do different if you could choose again? Don''t get caught up in a silver tongued, wave of inexperience! Wise up before it''s too late. Vote for whats right, not inspite. It''s OK to be proud of Hillary. She to, is one of us. Vote for Hillary!

- User168, you have issues that you need to workout. If you have a problem with the Iraq war, email the White House. The buck stops with the "Commander and Chief".

- Formrusmcsgt, like I said ....your stats on individual contributors don''t mean much. There are many very influential & well connected people out there who consider themselves individual donors and who can raise lots of money from other individual donors. Maybe the way around the big money would be to have an election fund where each citizen contributes $1. Sickening how much money it takes to elect someone.

Why create more fight and war? Go ask God to make you a man next life. As a woman, I understand that there are men looking for the lowest wage jobs and there are more men in the state prisons than woman professors (In support of Summers - why Harvard professors don''t fight for more state prison woman inmates??). I see more men die in "Hell is this thing called War" for their country than women. (Thanks to Hillary"s "no-tear" vote, women and children are being killed too.) Honestly, to me, Hillary is so confused (or calculating) that on one hand she wants all the women sympathy-votes, but on the other hand she is a real women hater who wants to destroy women by destroying their mind, heart, and soul.

- Someone asked about his economic policies. Here''s a link to them in exhaustive detail. There''s also a 69 page PDF you can download that outlines his Blueprint for Change. These are well-reasoned, detailed policies that are achievable for our next president.

- I worried about the allegiance of a candidate that has so much money coming into his campaign. Special interests anyone! We really need election reform.

Go to factcheck.org and you''ll see that 99% of Obama''s money comes from individual contributors, compared to 90% of Hillary''s..... - Reply to this comment
