I have been voting for 27 years and never seen someone to deside to be president and have so little experience. In the past if I am right most candidates have more then 10 to 15 years or more. Obama only has 3 years and Hillary has 35 years. If two different contractors came to you to bid on for building your new home. The first contractor has 3 years experience only built 12 homes. Second contractor has 35 years and built 200 homes. both gave you nearly the same bid who would you trust. So we look at Obama has 3 to 4 years and Hillary has 35 years now after you think about experience in the same way. Now who whould you really trust to be our President.

its pathetic that people keep referring to Senator Obama as "hussein" in a childish attempt to sway people into fearful judgments.

If you can not see why Obama whats to be President so bad read between the lines. He is a muslium trying to trick us for you to vote him in as President He turned down the best offer he would ever get and turning this down he is saying to hell with the Democratic party.
TO ALL THAT ARE VOTING FOR OBAMA WAKE UP AND SMELL THE COFFEE. HE IS DESTROYING THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY AND THIS MAY HELP MCLAIN.
THINK LONG AND HARD AMERICA BECAUSE OUR FUTURE WILL BE DESIDED WHO WE PUT IN.
HILLARY OFFERD HIM AND HE THROUGH IT AWAY DIS RESPECTED AS BEING A DEMOCRAT. THIS IS NOT A DEMOCRATIC, THIS SOUNDS LIKE WHAT A REPUBLICAN WOULD SAY AS BEING GREEDY. WHY??

IF HE TOOK THE INVATATION AND HILLARY STAYED OUR PRESIDENT FOR 8 YEARS DID EVERYTHING BOTH WANTED TO DO. OBAMA WOULD HAVE 8 YEARS AS VICE PRESIDENT THEN GO FOR PRESIDENT.
QUESTION IS WHY NOT?? DO NOT TRUST OBAMA ANYMORE!!!!

Open your mouth insert your foot (or feet if we listen to both Senator Clinton and Bill). Obama''s response was perfect! He reminded voters that #2''s don''t usally seek the #1 as a running mate and then asked the question everyone has thought of--If you think I am not ready to answer the red phone, why would you choose me as a running mate? A question that Clinton''s campaign management has yet to answer. Of course we know that his prudent judgement (Iraq war) is really a harbinger of thoughtful leadership. Never mind that his campaign is being run professionally (based on his organizational skills in the streets of Illinois). Add that to his ability to empower average Americans to kick out special interest lobbyists--WOW!

Meanwhile Clinton has accepted more lobbyist money than McCain, although he leads her in most lobbyists working on his campaign. Clinton and Obama are not so far apart on what they believe--but they are light years apart on the proper way to get there. That is the difference..."the end never justifies the means." The only real way to change Washington is to drive out special interest lobbyists that control our government via buying our representatives. We need change.

why cant he have a black VP?

Well for one Mr.Obama is not an African American as he plays along to. There is only 1 african in his heritage on his fathers side of the family. Most all the family were from Saudi descent. However Obama enjoys the black vote he is receiving therefore he will play along as long as he is allowed.

its pathetic that people keep referring to Senator Obama as "hussein" in a childish attempt to sway people into fearful judgments.

the bottom line on this story is that the man is absolutely right. first, they say he can''t handle foreign policy, then they say he''s a good VP. that''s about as forked-tongued as you can get.

and its obviously an attempt to trick the subconscious minds of voters into thinking they can still have Obama if they vote for Clinton. that''s a cowardly strategy. one that admits she can''t beat him straight.

Shame on her. No wonder she can''t win the popular vote. She keeps sliming her campaign.

The states that Obama has won by caucus are Republican states. He doesn''t have a chance in hell of winning them in a REAL election. Hillary does.

A caucus is an unfair process that eliminates people who have to vote via absentee ballots, and working people who are earning a living while the caucus takes place. Plus, many people don''t even go to caucuses because they don''t think it''s an official election process.

In Florida and Michigan, people did not vote because they''d been told their votes wouldn''t count!

What a mess!!!

O.K., Hillary DID NOT campaign in either Michigan or Florida. Her name was on the ballot, but BOTH candidates signed a pledge not to campaign in those states.
This was clarified on 60 Minutes over the weekend. Obama elected or removed his name from the ballot in Florida, he was not required to, it was his choice.
He is crying over spilt milk like I knew he would. He is so egotistic it is scary. He has been so hung up over having a white mother that is also scary. Here is my question, where was his wonderful African father while he was growing up.
I also have to agree, if he chooses a black running mate, the Democrats will definitely lose. The American majority will know it was a put up job to get him nominated by someone that DOES NOT have America''s best interests at heart.
I keep saying America, wake up and I was shocked by the black communities falling for it because I have some very good black friends. However, after hearing Bill Cosby and that Harvard professor on Oprah last week, it is totally expected.
Since Dr King died, the black communities overall have gone down hill by their own decisions. The main one has been forgetting they are Americans not Africans.

Do you think those people in other countries can''''t see past a man who talks a good talk, but is incompetent? -- RowdyTexan2

Are you talking about Bush here? Because clearly, the world is quite certain that our current Commander in Chief is consummately incompetent.

Smiley676,

He did vote for the bill; you keep pulling that *** from yuor *** because without lies you have no point.

If his choice of Samantha Power as a foreign policy is a big issue for you so be it, I never said youcouldn''t question his judgement. Just tell the truth, tht''s all I ask.

I have my own qualms about Obama but it''s never the garbage you all bring up. His love of ethanol as an alternative fuel is something I don''t agree with and
I believe is driven by the economy of his home state.
To me that''s a valid question to press him on.

You guys just keep coming back to beating the same lame dead horses and he keeps rolling along.

It reminds me of the way the Republicans and Ken Starr used to beat the dead horse of Whitewater(a real estate deal before he took office).

The partison over the top nonsense allowed the Clintons to avoid valid lines of inquiry while Democrats who knew they were crooks defended them against the dumb specific charges.

Now, how about those Clinton tax returns?

This is bad, but it could be much worse, Spitzer could have been caught looking for BJs with men in a public toilet like Larry Craig or getting BJs in the White House Oval Office like Bill Clinton.

You are not voting in your best interest if that is the logic you use.
