Comments on: Obama: Clinton's Attacking Because "She's Feeling Down"

[jemster08]

She said ''words is cheap''. Any suprise when she lied ? If she could not control her tongue, could she discipline her ACTION as USA president ?

[katefranklin]

The Clintons attack because it is the only thing they excel at. They are institutionalized. Not only would the Clintons guarantee a divided country, they may just divide the Democratic Party in their desperate attempt to regain the White House.

Both candidates want to win, and to do that the other must lose, so both are naturally intentin on undermining each other''s campaign. However, while Obama makes a point once or twice, then moves on to another, Hillary takes up an issue and doesn''t let go, as though she means to drive in the knife and twist it. She''s dwelt on this theme about debates now every day since Super Tuesday. What does she think? That we''re all deaf? Obama''s absolutely right. That kind of brinksmanship is not what Americans want. It''s like a personal vendetta for her (she did say it was personal), whereas to Obama''s its just, well, politics.

Hillary never hollered at Republicans. Why are you guys praising a liar? Also - Republicans in the Senate have praised her bipartisan behavior. And I thought he was "above" the fray. Clearly he isnt. Maybe he called John Lewis to offer him a check.

The Leader of the 21st Century , is showing in the excellent campaigning style , and motivates the electorate with the Lightening spirit of what makes America Fun and full of Adventure !!!!!!!

The Candidate , Barack Obama has what it takes , just look at his Keen understanding of the world of Finance , given todays understanding of High Tech capabilities of generating a coalition of supporters who see and hear the words of what its going to take to turn around the messes of the Bushes and Clintons over the past years , thats left us all in the dark and over a Barrel , dependent on those who have powder coated and gold plated the policy makers thats left America with all the debts of the deals over the years , has now focused on the new candidate of the future , the 21st Century choice for Change , thats Barack Obama , the Visionary of Hope . Look at the records of the candidates , the past results , and consider the facts that say do we want more of the same old Debt politics , like has been the case , over the past 16 years of Lopsided Trade Policies , or do we want a new kind of Trade , and a new way of participating in our governments policy decisions , thats open and transparent , so we the people can understand whats going on and what will happen , so we don''t end up like we have with the leadership we have had !

Lucy In Bedford, I have "looked at the facts" and I''m ready to make my "informed" choice for Obama.
Obama seeks a different kind of poltics. I really do believe he cares more about us than Hillary, she calculates her choices based on what''s right for her career. She is the wife of a former president as well as a senator, you can''t honestly tell me she didn''t have access to all the right info about Iraq and she still made the wrong choice. She made that choice based not on what is in our best interest, but based on what would make her look strong on national security. I don''t want another president who is going to tell us all what we want to hear, I want a president who will tell us what we need to hear, and then do the things that need to be done. I suggest that it is you who needs to to better informed, not the supporters of the most qualified and deserved candidate in the past 40 years.

"even my six year old" pretty clear analogy. democracy not dynasty.

The situation concerning Florida, Michigan, and the super delegates could cause the defeat of the Democratic Party in the general election if either Hillary Clinton or Barack Obama do not receive enough delegates to clinch the nomination . Would changing the rules at the end of the game by including Florida and Michigan delegates to sway the results be fair or would it cause a rebellion ?

John McCain is not so conservative that moderate independents and angry Democrats would not change their minds and vote for him if they felt like they were being cheated . Florida and Michigan were excluded for breaking the rules and the candidates agreed not to campaign in those states . If the Democratic Committee breaks their own rules now by counting them in then maybe they should be excluded by eliminating the super delegate count .

If Howard Dean, chairman of the party, decides to include Florida and Michigan then maybe he should count the uncommitted votes in Michigan as Obama votes and exclude all of the super delegates then adjust the nominating delegate count accordingly and let the leading candidate win . That would be more of a truly democratic process . This is America after all and the people should decide who their president should be and not by a handful of politicians and elitist .

A Concened Democrat

I will not address any comments stated by Lucy as it is clear that she is obviously having a really bad day. "She''s feeling down"

The fact of the matter is Hillary%u2019s campaign is failing (firing people, continuing to change herself, crying in public in Illinois when she was stressed, playing the race card using Bill Clinton) so what does she do start attacking and bringing this entire campaign in the mud. Anytime you play the race card it creates division and is cowardly. Obama must defend himself in general on issues raised by Clinton(s) otherwise he will get attacked for that as well. If her management of her campaign is any indication of her presidency then we all have an answer - NO to Hillary! If her time in the White House with all the scandals and lies (Don%u2019t forget Vince Foster. Look this up- Her current campaign manager Maggie Williams was involved) is an indication of her character and the fact that she cannot control Bill Clinton. No to Hillary! Why can%u2019t she represent herself in attacks like every other candidate. No, she has to get Bill involved. Can she actually led on her own? She can%u2019t effectively control Bill or her campaign. NO to Hillary! Remember White Water!

She''s a feelin'' mighty looow, Clinton that is.

[tmcc7]

LucyinBuford- We have in fact been looking at all the facts and let me tell you the facts can get ugly when it comes to Hillary. I think if more did look at all the facts, Hillary wouldnt receive a single sane vote. Is it possible you just cant handle the thought of black president? Stop being so small!

[suzanne_o]

Administrator: Please remove the comments by LucyinBuford and remco82 -- they are racist and sexist, respectively, generally offensive, and add nothing to the dialogue. I''m sure neither Senator Obama nor Senator Clinton would appreciate such unfortunate postings in misguided attempts at supporting their candidacies. Thank you.
