It doesn't help a candidate who comes into a race thinking the presidency is an entitlement. Nor has it helped Hillary's ego in thinking it was going to be hands off because she was first lady. If there's one thing Hillary has shown to dislike is being treated like a normal candidate running for the presidency. She quickly let it be known early in the race, it doesn't matter if she's losing. The media will not ask her questions first and she will not be picked on. Hillary wanted the hands off policy the media respected during Bill's Presidency to extend in her run for the Presidency. It's not Obama's fault Penn couldn't "humanize" Hillary earlier in the race. It wasn't Obama's fault Bill Clinton has done more harm to Hillary's campaign then Obama has. It's not Obama's fault Hillary can't manage her campaign better or pay bills. It's better to make the people comfortable when you speak to them. Obama established himself early in the race with the people. When Obama was talking about hope and change, Hillary was attacking. The people were getting to know Obama and all Hillary did by attacking Obama early in the race about no experiences or issues, all talk and no action, is separate her from the people. Hillary has political experience, she has no people experience. Obama has both. Which is why he makes people feel comfortable around him. What did Hillary say, if it looks like I'm intense and upset all the time is because I am. If Hillary is that way, how will she ever expect to make people feel comfortable around her. The glow Obama's attackers say is no longer there, is still there. If it wasn't, Obama would not be climbing in the polls or getting the endorsements he's been getting. Much to Obama's credit, he doesn't cave in due to the labels he's been given, instead he stays on message about hope and change. The only message Hillary seems to get out is I'm a survivor, I have an over active imagination, I get caught constantly in lies, I'm the best candidate to be President, and I will anything to win the nomination, even if it means forming a coalition with Conservative talk radio and Fox news to do it.
To All Clinton Supporters -- don't waste all your time on these go nowhere blogs ... take a few minutes away from here and write the Party instead!
Write the Democratic National Committee and tell them how you feel. Here is the link: http://www.democrats.org/
It's clear that one-half of the Democratic Party needs to make the Party understand where you stand. Then tell your friends of like minds to do the same. Don't let yourselves be overlooked or railroaded. Use the power of the written word to make a difference ... which, on the blogs, it doesn't ... but if you write the Party, it will.
This is just another article to promote the Messiah Osama Husseim Obama. Yes I'm tired of the
whole thing, why, because the Media play dirty politics along with Exrold and have almost destroyed the best candidate to get the Country out of the hole we are in now. After they piled
up on Hillary for a whole year now they are going after their own ABC for asking the Saint
questions that yes are pertinent. We are divided now blacks and whites went back 60 years
on racism, it is disgusting. Osama is not a uniter, and he is the biggest coward whining over
having to respond to hard questions FOR THE FIRST TIME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! What a whimpe!
I will not vote for this man for the sake of the party, This nation is more important than that.
I was happy optimistic and hopeful could'n wait to next January now I do not care what happens.
Thank Osama and the Obamarobots out there.
What do you expect from people who judge candidates on their religeous beliefs?
I am ready for an agnostic or atheist candidate! I am so sick of those mixing religion and politic! religion does not belong in politic. Period!
If you want religion in politics, move to the middle east!
I have not responded to any of the post about Hillary Clinton’s trip to Bosnia. But since most of you were still in diapers, or on your mama’s breast when Hillary was flying into war zones, let me tell you how Bosnia was back then. It was a killing field back then. And worst of all was the extremely effective, and deadly snipers that came out of this conflict.
Those snipers were unfortunately the best in the world. And were very accurate, and deadly. They were well known to be able to take you out with a head shot from a great distance away. And everyone that went there knew that you were not safe anywhere outside there. Everyone was constantly reminded to keep your head down. Because you were always under sniper fire.
Bosnia was not like some TV, or B-movie shoot out. You did not hear a lot of gunfire all the time. Just the eery quiet quality of impending death until that single pop that echoed the call of innocent death. Do your homework. Look it up. It was a chilling time, and place to be. Death was silent. But all around you. What Hillary Clinton told you was true. She did land under sniper fire. You were always under sniper fire in Bosnia back then. And your life depended on not forgetting that. Just a single silent shot that ripped you apart.
Rather than explain this horror to you babies. Hillary just says. “I’m sorry. I misspoke.” You have to remember that Hillary Clinton is a woman, and a mother. :-)
guess 35,000 voters at a rally in Philly means most people aren't interested Obama rally

So far this is a very mild responce to a political artical. The simians must all be asleep.
I'm not really into politics, but I tend to lean towards Obama. Maybe I'm looking for that quick fix, for I am one of many unemployed and uninsured in this country (I use to have a 6 figure job). I see him as a hard working minority looking out for the lower and middle class of America. Where have we gone wrong and how do we fix it? How many AMERICAN'S are homeless? How many AMERICAN'S do not have health insurance? I agree with the war in Irag and support our troops, but spending those billions there when if we e could spend a few million here in the USA it would make the difference between AMERICANS sleeping on a cot in a shelter or sleeping in a bed at their home. Again I ask were did we go wrong and how do we FIX it? I wish someone would enlighten me.
Thanks for listening,

Obamessiah!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Go to his website and read the tales of how ordinary people originally came to know Obama.
Yeah, all you guys want to moderate are those comments in support of Obama. The media is being bought. Hilary is winning and she will win big in Pennsylvania! Rise Hilary Rise! Rise above all ofth e fray!
There is a lot of exciting in the Clinton camp. They received three (30 endorsements today from 3 superdelegates. Maybe this will help your poll to be more accurate. Hilary added three more superdelegates today.
Former New Jersey Governors Jim Florio and Brendan Byrne pledged their support to Hillary Clinton today, after being chosen Thursday as add-on superdelegates. Their show of support comes the same day US Rep. Betty Sutton announced she too would support Clinton as a superdelegate.
“I am grateful for the support of both former New Jersey governors Byrne and Florio, as well as Rep. Sutton,” Clinton said. “Together, with their support and millions of others, we will deliver health care to every American, jumpstart the economy, and turn our great country around. Our campaign is experiencing great momentum.”
Brendan Byrne served as the 47th Governor of New Jersey from 1974 to 1982 and co-writes a weekly column with his successor Thomas Kean on state and national public affairs. James Florio was the first Italian American governor of New Jersey, serving from 1990 to 1994.
Rep. Sutton served eight years in the Ohio State House prior to being elected to represent Ohio's 13th Congressional District in the U.S. House of Representatives in 2006. Before being elected to Congress, she worked as a labor attorney fighting for the rights of Ohio's workers
