I LOVE HOW EVERYBODY WANTS TO SEE CLINTON''S TAX RECORDS. as if there is something to hide.

FACTS - FACTS - FACTS - FACTS
The gov''t spent $40 million dollars and 4 years investigating everything in their lives. (ps. all they found was a BJ).

Ken Starr --- way to go.

Hillary has had over 60 books, most malicious, written just about HER. Some of these authors even did their own research.

Who else IN HISTORY has had that type of scrutiny?

Name one person other than the other Clinton.

I''ll help the lazy one''s out. No one.

Please can everybody stop theis race baiting. l am a white female and l will be voting for barack Obama becasue at this point in history he is the best person for the presidency.

He is not beholden by special interest, he does not take money from lobbyist and one million of ordinary Americans like me have donated to him and l beg you to stop dividing us against racial lines.

It is time for our government to work for people like you and me instead of their ''special interest''agenda.

Barack Obama for ordinary people like you and me!!

Obama one of the first to called for Imus firing, before Wright Firestorm

These are different as night and day, one was a personal attack on innocent individuals and casting a shadow on their individual integrity - the other is expressing concern for the racial divide in the country - it''s extremely myopic to compare them and draw analogys from them.

First,let me say I''''m white,and I''''m poor.Obamas'''' pastor is sick of the corporate elite in this country whose policies are dragging us all into slavery,making us unpopular with the rest of the world,and did bring about 9-11.We are not the most populated country,and yet we have more people imprisoned than any other in the world.I too say ******* america if these conditions do not change.Here we have the one person left that could beat McCain in the general election,and we are dumping him over things he did not even say.Yes,he stayed in the church for twenty years and was influenced by the man,but when you take his sermons in context,all they really that far from the truth?The people in the congregation are not applauding the perpetrators of 9-11,they are applauding their pastors'''' insight into things as they really are.Hillary never had a chance of being elected,and still doesn''''t,not because she''''s a woman,but because of her grating personality,and the rumors of corruption that surround her.Maybe after four more years of someone that is in essence Bush,you will see that Obamas'''' pastor,though his sermons sound unpatriotic and racist,is right.Substitute working class for black,and he will be almost spot on.

Everyone must see the double standard that is going on here. He can ask for Imus to get fired. He can decry the remarks. He can say that this person should not be on television spreading those types of words. He can say that his daughters should not have to hear these words yet his daughters go to a church where the pastor speaks the same racial hate. Why is it OK to let your daughters hear racial hate against whites and this great country they live in but hear racial Why did you not ask for Wright to be fired?. It seems to me that you were so quick to want Imus to be fired yet you did not address the Wright issue until you were forced to do so.
I find it funny how politicians tolerate things behind closed doors, and only when they become an embarrassment do they see it fit to address the issues or change their ways. The fact is it%u2019s what we do behind closed doors, when no one is looking that best defines who we are. If these are the types of people, sermons and perspectives from which he draws his religious and ethical convictions and provide for him internal peace and comfort, then that''s says something. If he has had Wright as a spiritual adviser for 20 years and these are the hateful, racial and anti-American stances of Wright and that church - then how can we not expect that to have some impact on him, his person, and ultimately his choices.
