I think an Obama/Bloomberg ticket would be great for the country. The economy is the #1 issue and Obama would be smart to have a VP who is an expert in that area and who can concentrate his efforts on solving economic issues while Obama is concentrating on repairing our relationships with other countries thoughout the world and dealing with Iraq and healthcare. It makes perfect sense.

This would be a great dream ticket.

He will lend credibility to Obama who has been taking a beating since Texas. And it can put to rest the fears that Obama is secretly planning to bomb Israel, give the blacks thier mule and 40 acres and establish an islamic caliphate in the US. Hopefully he cant just bump Hillary out of the race so we can limit the damage to the eventual nominee. Its getting way to ugly at this point.

Labeling them far left Liberals . People are hungry for change because of the policies and munipulations of the current administration. And the people that are munipulated by fear, (the scared ones) have themselves to blame. This country is an embarassment to the world because of the current administration. We need somebody in power that is NOT going to further the destruction of this once great nation. Thank God it is not going to be Bush. John M is not that stupid, he is just pandering to get the votes and he will turn hib back on the out of touch, scared, embarassments that have set this country on fire.

As a staunch Obama supporter, I wholeheartedly embrace the notion of Mr. Bloomberg as the Number 2 man on the ticket. He is a brilliant no-nonsense politician who, like Obama, is interested in doing what's right, not settling for political imagery. As for Ms. Clinton, Obama would be settling to choose her as his running mate, and he's got such an incredible amount of integrity that settling is just not at the top of his list.

Is it too soon to say who will be Obama's #2? Yep, but I for one would be incredibly thrilled to see Bloomberg on the ticket with him. And take heart, Hillary. If you haven't managed to persuade three-quarters of the country to hate your guts this go-round, you might have another shot in 2016 if Bloomberg decides to give it a pass...

herfan — Thu, 27 Mar 2008 23:45:04 GMT

DON'T BE DUPED !!!

Large numbers of Republicans have been voting for Barack Obama in the DEMOCRATIC primaries, and caucuses from early on. Because they feel he would be a weaker opponent against John McCain. And because they feel that a Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama ticket would be unbeatable. And also because with a Clinton and Obama ticket you are almost 100% certain to get quality, affordable universal health care very soon.

But first, all of you have to make certain that Hillary Clinton takes the democratic nomination and then the Whitehouse. NOW! is the time. THIS! is the moment you have all been working, and waiting for. You can do this America. "Carpe diem" (harvest the day).

I think Hillary Clinton see's a beautiful world of plenty for all. She is a woman, and a mother. And it's time America. Do this for your-selves, and your children's future. You will have to work together on this and be aggressive, relentless, and creative. Americans face an even worse catastrophe ahead than the one you are living through now.

You see, the medical and insurance industry mostly support the republicans with the money they ripped off from you. And they don't want you to have quality, affordable universal health care. They want to be able to continue to rip you off, and kill you and your children by continuing to deny you life saving medical care that you have already paid for. So they can continue to make more immoral profits for them-selves.

Hillary Clinton has actually won by much larger margins than the vote totals showed. And lost by much smaller vote margins than the vote totals showed. Her delegate count is actually much higher than it shows. And higher than Obama's. She also leads in the electoral college numbers that you must win to become President in the November national election. HILLARY CLINTON IS ALREADY THE TRUE DEMOCRATIC NOMINEE!

As much as 30% of Obama's primary, and caucus votes are Republicans trying to choose the weakest democratic candidate for McCain to run against. These Republicans have been gaming the caucuses where it is easier to vote cheat. This is why Obama has not been able to win the BIG! states primaries. Even with Republican vote cheating help.

Hillary Clinton has been out manned, out gunned, and out spent 2 and 3 to 1. Yet Obama has only been able to manage a very tenuous, and questionable tie with Hillary Clinton.

If Obama is the democratic nominee for the national election in November he will be slaughtered. Because the Republican vote cheating help will suddenly evaporate. All of this vote fraud and republican manipulation has made Obama falsely look like a much stronger candidate than he really is. YOUNG PEOPLE. DON'T BE DUPED! Think about it. You have the most to lose.

The democratic party needs to fix this outrage. I suggest a Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama ticket. Everyone needs to throw all your support to Hillary Clinton NOW! So you can end this outrage against YOU the voter, and against democracy.

I think Barack Obama has a once in a life time chance to make the ultimate historic gesture for unity, and change in America by accepting Hillary Clinton's offer as running mate. Such an act now would for ever seal Barack Obama's place at the top of the list of Americas all time great leaders, and unifiers for all of history.

The democratic party, and the super-delegates have a decision to make. Are the democrats, and the democratic party going to choose the DEMOCRATIC party nominee to fight for the American people. Or are the republicans going to choose the DEMOCRATIC party nominee through vote fraud, and gaming the DEMOCRATIC party primaries, and caucuses.

Fortunately the Clinton's have been able to hold on against this fraudulent outrage with those repeated dramatic comebacks of Hillary Clinton's. Only the Clinton's are that resourceful, and strong. Hillary Clinton is your NOMINEE. They are the best I have ever seen.

"This is not a game" (Hillary Clinton)

Herfan,

So are you into lying to the people like your favorite candidate? Everybody knows that for the past month the talk has been that the Republicans were voting for Clinton because the thinking is that she'ss the weaker candidate against McCain, not Obama. There have even been reports of Rush Limbaugh urging Republicans to do this during his radio show before the Ohio election. It seems that you are the one who is trying to do the duping.

re: Bloomberg and Obama Meet in the Big Apple. Is the White House Next?

herfan — Fri, 28 Mar 2008 00:22:30 GMT

kwrob,

The Limbaugh story is mostly myth. He came out with that story after it was exposed that some republicans had been doing just the opposite of what Limbaugh now claims. Republicans have been voting in large numbers for Barack Obama in the DEMOCRATIC open primaries, and gaming the DEMOCRATIC caucuses from day one.

Limbaugh is using reverse psychology on you to cover up. As always, they think you people are all just stupid peasants, and cash COWS! to be duped, and used as cannon fodder.

The REPUBLICANS have been trying to choose the weakest DEMOCRATIC candidate to run against in November. And also to prevent the possibility of a Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama DREAM TEAM match up.

I am really surprised the media has not picked this fact up with all their experts, and analyst. It’s as plain as the nose on your face. This is why Obama has mostly only been able to win the little red state caucuses, and primaries. And no big blue states primaries.

If Obama is the democratic nominee for the national election in November he will be slaughtered. Because the Republican vote cheating help will suddenly evaporate.

Hillary Clinton has actually already won the democratic nomination if you remove the republican vote fraud. Does this really surprise anyone after the 2000 and 2004 elections. :-(

They have no respect for the constitution, or the democratic process. They have no SHAME!!!

Mr. Bloomberg is a very impressive man with solid economic credentials. I love the exciting idea of having him as a VP candidate.

Would that turn off some (but certainly not all) evangelical Right-Wing Christians? Sure. They were going to stay at home or grudgingly vote for McCain anyway. Fortunately, they are even a smaller minority than some other ideological minorities whose numbers would more than wipe out their objections.

Why pander to people who are anti-Semitic and racist anyway? Isn't that what the Germans did? How about just smiling and waving to them on our way to the voting booth, to vote them out of power? Isn't that what Martin Luther King and Gandhi would recommend?

The best leadership, like Obama's, is inclusive, not exclusive. Perhaps some of the haters would then have a change of heart.

Another qualification for Bloomberg is that he's a prominent New Yorker, if not from New York than at least not Arkansas. Hillary and her big money donors could huff and puff all they want to no effect.

On the other hand, when the dust has settled on Obama's nomination, the Clinton's power image will have lost its lustre and Bloomberg would make a formidable opponent to take her seat in the Senate.

Hillary economic stimulus was presented almost a week ago. Yes obama good boy you take notes well.. He is a good mimic. Not a leader, always a follower. And Hillary was shouting mortgage crisis in February 2007 and had a plan for moratorium on foreclosures and freeze of interest rates. It took the GOP white house to figure out something was wrong a year later. Obama, sorry, TOO LATE. You always come up with a plan similar to Hillary after she lays it out so well for you and your advisers.

ploughman — Fri, 28 Mar 2008 01:13:48 GMT

I think the strongest running mate Obama could get would be WESLEY CLARK. Clark has military experience but also has views that generally align with Obama's on Iraq. He'd make a good hatchet man whenever McCain tries to say the war is a success or that his military experience makes him uniquely qualified (never mind how John Kerry and Max Cleland got smeared on that point). Clark could also compare Iraq to Yugoslavia, which I think is particularly apt at this point. Clark is also a good spokesman for shared sacrifices and using government to work on serious challenges or to create a whole that's greater than the sum of the parts. That's needed to counter GOP generic "big government" and "higher taxes" talk. If the private sector were the answer then we wouldn't have such big problems today in health care, energy and the mortgage meltdown (the last one particularly a case of markets running amok and taxpayers being left holding the bag).

Obama does not stand a snowballs chance in hell of winning anything in November except as Hillary Clinton's running mate. No chance what so ever. Do your research. Think critically. Hillary is his best, and only shot at the VP slot, And then someday, maybe president. But not today.

If he does not get behind Hillary Clinton and aggressively support her to take back the whithouse his name will be mud. He has know idea what is coming down the road.

Only Hillary and Hillary supporters do not know why the Republicans and McCain decoys spread their false supports for her. Hillary is way too self-absorbed, like a drug addict. So, there is no hope that Hillary will voluntarily quit her campaign. She must be forced to quit her campaign. One way is to hold a Superdelegate primary even before PA primary, and declare their support behind one candidate and get the whole damn Hillary madwoman nonsense right here right now.

I thought Bloomberg was a make believe cartoon character?? Have you asked the American people if they even know Bloomberg and what he has done after all they wolud be the ones voting?

I think Obama should get Pelosi since she loves him so much but I also think McCain should get Condoleesa Rice, now there is a woman I admire and I am a Democrat. But bottom line I love the wonderful American stories like the Golden team in Hockey, the Amercian gymnast that stuck the pole vault landing with one leg to get her team the gold, the Sarah skater who wasn't even supposed to metal land like tons of triples to get the Gold, and of course the Giants who weren't even supposed to be at the SuperBowl this year pounce on the Patriots. I would love to see Hilary stick it to all the media and looser dems or are using the fight as an issue for her to withdraw. Go Hilary we love come from behind stores!!

Not many people believe Hillary any more. Even the people who voted for her in the primary are doubting her credibility. Hillary thinks Americans and Democrats are really dumb to believe her false claims such as

-- 35 years of experience : BS, because 35 years of experience started at her age 25. Obama is 46 years old, and then Obama has 21 years of experience since he was 25. Obama's 21 years of experience is good enough to many people.

-- She is ready from day one: Yea, she is ready from day one to divide and brawl. She has no more experience than Laura Bush in Whitehouse matters.

-- She has accomplished a lot more than Obama: Complete false. She and Obama have exactly the same number of legistlative accomplishments -- two. Hillary has been in the senate longer than Obama -- and thus Hillary lose here.

-- Hillary has such a poor judgement. Maybe she now has Alzeimer's desease because she is confused if she was under sniper fire or not.

-- Also, she lies habitually. That means she has Alzeimer's desease.

Hey Goathered I just read your post and I fully agree, every time Obama comes up with something Hilary had already said it or it was part of the Clinton presidency, she used the term "trasnparent" presidency first, she used the term "change" first, he agreed to her ideas like five times during the last debate, he keeps talking about taking us away from Bush and back to lets see the clinton years for the economy to benefit, He wanted to just sit and talk to bad dictators because you know he has experince with Rezco but then added that it would be after going it over with some folks after Hilary said she would put a committe together. Someone shold you tube the last debate and see how many times he agrees with her!!! and they were her ideas first.

Obama and Bloomberg would be a BRILLIANT ticket.. Wish the press would stop boring everybody with the race story. Here is an ideal - a bi-racial black/white man with a Jewish financier. Poor Hil, I really like her as a person, and will certainly stand by her if she does win the nomination, but I really can't get excited about another Clinton in the White House - that would allow Bill three terms, and I am tired of Bush-Clinton-Bush-Clinton scenario. It's not good/healthy for the country, no offense to Hillary or her supporters.

I'm backing John McCain, but I can't help cringe at the racists who are attacking Obama because of his pastor's comments or his church's one-time award to Louis Farrakhan. He could have repeated the same ugly charges. He could have become a Muslim. He could have done worse. Maybe in the midst of all he might have heard and or seen from his pastor and the church, he thought this was the time to step up and change the situation. His message, after all, has been about change, and it resonates with blacks and whites. I'm sorry for those whose minds are still imprisoned by the demons of the past.

re: Bloomberg and Obama Meet in the Big Apple. Is the White House Next?

mjno — Fri, 28 Mar 2008 03:34:41 GMT

It isn't just his pastor's comments or one time award to Farrakhan that is unacceptable. The church has IN THEIR PARISH BULLETIN, a PRO HAMAS commentary. He doesn't resonate to blacks NOR WHITES.

Maya Angelou supports HILLARY.

I can't imagine Mr. Bloomberg playing second fiddle to anyone, Obama included. Politically it makes interesting news but little sense. We just witnessed the collapse of America's mayor who found out rather quickly his popularity was largely confined to the city limits. The New York media make a mountain out of the mayor; in the rest of the country he is more of a molehill. Obama would win New York with almost any running mate save Eliot Spitzer. The same qualities that make Mr. Bloomberg a star in New York work against him elsewhere. Obama already has a well known New Yorker willing to be on the ticket with him who like Mr. Bloomberg would not accept second fiddle status.

Bloomberg was a lifetime Democrat that crossed over to the Republican party to win as mayor of NYC. Then just a few months ago, he crossed over to become an Independant. Now he seems to want to return to the Democrat party.

It seems that he just does what will help him gain what he wants. You might say he doesn't have any core values.

Since Obama lacks core values, as well.

They seem to use people to promote themselves. I hate people like that.

In the name of God, Barack is GUILTY BY ASSOCIATION to the pastor of the Church he attends;

In the name of America, all Americans are GUILTY BY ASSOCIATION to this country for all of the inhumane things it has done to peoples around the world and to segments of her own population.

America IS guilty of the truths found in Rev. Wright's words. Neither Rev. Wright's words or the truths of inhumand treatment of American citizens, or by American citizens upon other countries can be denied and they certainly can not be laid at Baracks feet.

I know that in the Catholic church priests are not allowed to use their homilies to talk about "uncomfortable" issues. In the Black church "uncomfortable" issues are invoked to remind a depressed people just how much they have overcome. In any event, Rev. Wrights words can not be denied. Yes, HE spoke them and yes, they are mostly truth.

Very briefly, I don't know about Americas role in the AIDS thing but I do know about the Tuskeegee experiment, exclusively, performed on Black men.

America asks Blacks to forgive, forget, move-on. With Barack, there just may be an opportunity for most Blacks to position themselves to forgive and move-on. But as often as you keep Rev. Wright and your superficial outrage about him before us, we can not forget.

Before Obama can pick a VP candidate, He has to win the nomination. It looks as if he has won the nomination but as I heard on the news yesterday at noon, there is a lot more to come out about Obama. They are pushing for Hillary to step aside. Hillary needs to stay in because I think we will see the real Obama the longer this primary race continues.

It appears that while Obama says he did not hear Rev. Wright make those statements, Rev. Wright put Anit-Israel, Anti-Jew, Anti-Italian, Anti-catholic, Anti-White statements in the Church bullentin that was mailed to the homes of Church members. Even if Obama was not there, he received those messages into his home. Obama had to know. In fact, the only people that Rev Wright has not thrown under the bus is the blacks. OF Course, Black Liberation Movement will not allow that.

It is sad. It is sad that such Racial slurs are being taught from the pulpit of Trinity. I am offended as a mixed race citizen that attends a black church that the news and Rev. Wright are saying that this is typical of all black churches. This is not typical of all Black churches. I have never heard any statements even close to Rev. Wright said from a Black pulpit. It is an embarrassement to the black race and to those true christian that love God and all of mankind. I will never vote for any ticket Obama is on. I hope for the McCain/Rice ticket If Obama wins the nomination.

stacey.harris@att.net — Fri, 28 Mar 2008 13:00:29 GMT

I suspect that the Obama detractors who dismiss his candidacy because of a few sermons made by his former Pastor are just looking for an excuse. What about the divisive comments made by Senator Clinton's former pastor or the Clinton's White House invitation to Billy graham a renowned anti-semite. How about the horrific comments regarding 9/11 and hurricane Katrina made by Reverends Roberts, Hagee and Fallwell. No denunciations or rejection from the Republican cast of characters. If we take the detractors' arguments to their natural conclusion I guess all Catholics should denounce and reject not just the pedophile priests but the Catholic Church for it's cover-up for at least decades and maybe centuries. What about Southern Baptist or Mormons. Should they reject their religious authorities as well. It wasn't until the late seventies that Mormons believed minorities had souls and were worthy of getting into heaven. The Baptist Southern Leadership just recently publicly apologized for centuries of discrimination.

I am looking for a Clinton ticket. The economy was the best when the Clintons were in office last time. We need the Clintons back in office to straighten this economy mess out that Bush created.

However is Clinton does not get the nomination, I will vote Republican for the first time in my life. I know a lot of people both black and white who will change over to the republican side because we do not want a left wing liberal, black liberation leader with ties to Rezko, Farrankhan, Rev. Wright, Rev. Meek, in the President's seat of the White House.

Please show me where we can find the tapes of Roberts, Hagee, Farwell, or Graham that any one of them said in their Messages such words as G D America.

Then please show where CLinton or McCain supported these ministers for 20 years.

These are evangelist and T V Ministers. CLinton or McCain did not sit under the teaching and preaching of these men for 20 years and support them. I have never heard of a book by Clinton or McCain that says that these preachers were a mentor to them

Back up your words. I can prove Obama is tied to Rezko, Farranhkan, Billy Ayers, Black Liberation. I can prove that Obama has lied just as much as Clinton has lied. Both are saying whatever to try to get elected. So all of you that want to vote for Obama, that is your right as American Citizens. But remember when you pull the lever, you are voting for your American President and if you are voting for Obama, you are voting Anti-America.

All this article is trying to do is stop the truth. There is new information out about how Rev. Wright has made Anti Jew and Anti Israel statements. There is also more information out about Obama making an Anti Israel statement in a chicago convention when he was a state senator.

This is nothing but a ploy to try to show a different side to the Jews. Obama is not going to select a Jew for his running mate. Obama hates Israel. Don't let this propaganda fool you.

I can prove that Clinton was hit by sniper fire in Bosnia! Why else would she think she actually still has a chance in the race? I would have been able to prove that Nafta-Gate was an Obama issue if it wasn't for the fact that there was an eye witness there that actually heard her campaign person say the things that she pretty much accused him of...Oh and then theres the documents of her in as First Lady in the white house that speaks to her being a major proponent of Nafta and helping to get it off the ground. And I can prove that she is ready to take that 3am call, even if she is suffering from sleep deprivation that makes her completely exaggerate issues, but hey she can pick up the phone! I can prove that Clinton is a beacon for Women's rights and that sometime after her campaign is over...you know, when she actually makes her taxes public, that she will return the campaign funds she recieved from the IPA which is weighted down with sexual harrassment charges and led by a disbarred CEO with a criminal record. But hey even if she doesn't win the election she can always go Republican considering her endorsement of John Mccain.

We as americans have choesen the same choice now over and over and have expected different results. Hillary Clinton has resorted to survivor tactics and will say or do anything to get in. Bill Clinton didn'tt come near the devestation that she would cause if she made it in.

Bleak retirements for 150 million?

A majority of Americans aren't saving nearly enough for retirement -- or aren't saving anything at all. And the expenses they'll face in their later years are sobering.

http://articles.moneycentral.msn.com/RetirementandWills/InvestForRetirement/BleakRetirementsFor150Million.aspx

Here is why NAFTA is Designed wrong , by not providing a Fee from Tariff Free Imports to fill the and stop the Gap created in Loss of Wage deductions for SS and Medicare , it actually acts as a Devaluation of our Intrinsic assets Value , as we continue to fill the gaps this creates with Treasury Notes for Loans from our trade partners , to balance the trade gaps . Couple this with the fact that peoples incomes have not been appreciating at a sustainable rate because of the Pegging of currency to our currency by Trade partners , this effect actually causing a devaluation to our currency , because it forces us to have to compete with them at their currency rate of exchange, a effect thats discussed in our trade agreements as a possible crippling effect , and so 14 years later we see the result of the experience the Clintons brought to our economy , with this WTO Trade agreement design it has opened the Pandora's Box of Ultimate Failure , a Divide in Incomes between those who work in American Economic conditions of manipulation by our unfair trade policy , and those who support the Clintons and are the Group that is Benefiting from the Unfair Trade policies of the WTO NAFTA Trade agreement , this is a act of Greed , causing Great harm to Americans .

TEAM WE CAN'T TRUST

By DICK MORRIS & EILEEN MCGANN

Published in the New York Post on March 26, 2008.

Hillary The Movie - View The Trailer & Purchase The DVD Here!

Bill Clinton made a significant admission in Corpus Christi, Texas this month - saying he had decided to pardon Puerto Rican terrorists back in 1999 "based on the stuff I was given by the staff."

But Ron Kolb, the citizen whose questioning prompted the ex-president's comment, rightly pointed out that the FBI and Justice Department had opposed the pardons. The clear conclusion is that it was Clinton's political staff who pushed for clemency - with the obvious goal of helping Hillary Clinton's bid to become a New York senator.

Bill still denies that was his motive, of course - but no one believes it. The lobbying by Hispanic politicians from New York on the issue had been years-long; the culmination was noted by the New Republic noted back in '99: "Two days before the president announced the clemency deal, New York City Councilman Jose Rivera personally presented Hillary with a packet on clemency, including a letter asking her to 'speak to the president and ask him to consider granting executive clemency' to the prisoners."

The FALN, a terrorist group devoted to independence for Puerto Rico, bombed the Fraunces Tavern here in New York City in 1975, killing four and injuring 54 others.

It also:

* Bombed five other downtown New York buildings in 1974.

* Booby trapped a building in Manhattan and then called the police, seriously injuring and partially blinding an officer.

* Exploded two bombs in Chicago's Loop in 1975.

* Bombed the Merchandise Mart in Chicago in 1977.

* Bombed a Mobil Oil office in New York, killing one person, in 1977.

* Bombed two Chicago military recruiting offices in 1979.

* Injured three police officers in New York bombings in 1982.

Even in those pre-9/11 days, pardoning terrorists who weren't even remorseful drew public outrage; candidate Hillary soon wound up condemning Bill's decision.

But when it comes to politics, they really are a team - Hillary's administration would be staffed from the same pool that Bill drew upon.

The same team that freed hardened terrorists to win political markers for Hillary - the same team that's now willing to tear the Democratic Party apart in its desperate bid to steal the nomination for Hillary - would once again be empowered to free the guilty and endanger the innocent, whenever it suited their political needs.

Why does Hillary think America will trust her enough to make her president?

Looks like Clinton has gotten more money from subprime industry than Obama

Kudos to On Politics reader Kavi Grace, a New York lawyer and supporter of Sen. Barack Obama who blogs on his own time at Why We Need Obama.

He left a message overnight at my USATODAY.com community profile, pointing to a post he had written headlined "Clinton campaign lies about Obama donations."

That's a more accusatory headline than we would have written, but Kavi's findings are worth noting.

He saw our post yesterday that noted the response from Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton's campaign to the economic address that Obama delivered Thursday. In this memo, the Clinton team said that Obama "has taken more money from the top 10 subprime loans than BOTH Senator Clinton and Senator McCain." The memo cited CQ.com as its source.

Kavi, though, sifted through public records and figured out that if you compare apples to apples -- particularly the money campaigns have gotten from employees of subprime mortgage companies, which is what the Obama numbers were largely based on -- it looks like Clinton has taken in $1.3 million to Obama's $1.2 million.

Lo and behold, The Wall Street Journal comes to the same conclusion this morning.

The Journal writes that:

Clinton officials said they didn't mean to say that their candidate was free of Wall Street ties. The point of the email, they said, was to counter (Obama strategist David) Plouffe's suggestion that Sen. Clinton was less trustworthy on the issue than Sen. Obama.

"The Obama campaign's attack implied that Senator Obama had no relationship with these lenders so we pointed out the hypocrisy of their attack," said (campaign spokesman Phil) Singer in an e-mail response to questions.

this is not directed toward the author of this article. he is simply reporting. but the fact that obama thinks it is a good idea to dangle this is unbelievable. completely ignoring a woman on the ticket. guys don't get it. they will. i've been watching this closely, and these women are raging mad. women have been thrown under the train for decades. and when a woman finally emerges who is undeniably qualified and knows what she's doing, it's always the same thing. 'we need a fresh face' 'we need new blood' 'we don't want you.' 'you're old. so yesterday.' that's what i am hearing, and if the dems think the women will just become sheeple for them, i fear for the party. so now the dems have the spectacle of forcing the nomination thru ludicrous caucus manipulations of a completely unqualified man for the presidency. mccain will tear him to shreds. and the women....my friends... the women who have put up with this crap for hundreds of years, will either stay home, or vote for mccain. i'm listening to them. i'm hearing them, and this is what they hear: hillary should be a good little girl, take her dollies and dishes and go home. well, if they send her home, and don't have a joint ticket in some order, the women will go with her. the idea that dean now changes the rules and says superdelegates have to decide by july 1 only exacerbates the problem. dean is a complete disaster. he has shown no leadership whatsoever. just that stupid grin and laugh, then he shouts out a few orders that always involve hillary getting axed. unbelievable blindness. if she is not on the ticket, the democratic party will be rent in two. but you know what? maybe it's time for a third party. or ten parties. we can be france. what the hell.

It's a celebrity church, a place to see and be seen, as well as worship. But most of the people I know who attend, go for the celebrities.

NO, No, No. Obama/Spitzer 2008. According to Richardson when asked about his support for Obama, he replied, "Why not give someone else a chance. It has been Bush, Clinton, Bush, …" No kidding! That was his reply. Richardson was unable to think of an endorsement other than sour grapes due to his unsuccessful presidential bid!

The thought of pairing up these two brilliant men on the November ticket is nothing short of electrifying to those of us who love this country and want to see it change direction!! Bloomberg is an amazingly successful business entrepreneur who happens to be Jewish, and Obama is an incredible statesman with a vision, who happens to be a Christian. Quit buying into the 'crap' that's out there - Obama is not a Muslim! And you know what, who cares if he was!! This is supposedly a free country where we can worship as we choose, or not worship as we choose!! Look at people for what they've accomplished in life, not for how they choose to worship!

I believed anyone with good speech would be a successful sales in career, not a politican who can make a right decision. Anyone with sweet talk should never be trusted but only fake. Young people got inspired from speech now but will regret sooner or later because they will learned once they getting older. I see 98% black supporter support their black leader but less that 50% white supporter support their white leader in democratic party. Isn't it pretty sad for white American?? I would have to leave US if Mr Obama becomes President, I am not willing to support more black families from my tax money nor go to feed them in jail while all african is marching to US from their countries.......that make me scare enough once think about it.

This is an important question?

All of you who think Obama has won this nomination.

If Obama has the support of the democratic party, why is Obama going to loose Penn. by more than 10 points?

Doesn't it make sense that the top democratic candidate should be in the top of Penn?

How do you expect Obama to win in November if he can not win states like OH, PENN, CA, FLorida and others. The November event will not be caucases which is the most of the campaign that Obama has won.

us had any choice as to what color our skin would end up being once born. So tell me, how can you feel so much hate towards 'those' people? How?? Good God, do some studying up on different cultures and you'll see how we're all not so different from one another, like you think we are.

I am not sure about this Bloomberg guy! I am from way down here in south Texas and some New Yorker who has billions just is not that impressive beside never seen him on the Letterman show.

I really think that if we go with a New Yorker who has money that should be good old Donald Trump. Not sure what party if any he is in, but he would be better than Bloomberg at least Donald has been on Letterman. Just think of it we could call it the Obama and Donald show I mean ticket, right out of a Disney cartoon. I am for Hannah Montana, though I know she is too young but she seems to be loved by every one and we all could live happily ever after. Gees isn’t that what all you Obama fans want! I really do not care about any of these candidates. They all lie; they all spend millions to get elected while the hungry get hungrier. However, the belief that you can really bring this country together as one is just un-American. You want consensus move to China or Russia or better yet North Korea. Of course you really can not vote there but every one seems to agree that the government is right and they sure have a consensus among the citizens, at least publicly. I am for the most honest candidate so please will one of you just steer me in the right direction! All I see from here is the same old political horse s--- that I have seen for years. Idealism is great but realism is better.

I don't know how you people keep deluding yourself that Hillary is going to win. You keep talking about she won the big states, and the other states don't count. Obama has won 30 states, he damn near won Texas because he won the delagates. I am from Pennsylvania and he will win Philadelphis, Harrisburg, Pittsburgh, Bethlehem (when they opened their office 400 people came in to volunteer within the first hour), Lehigh Valley, Doylestown and Bucks County now the Alabama section is smaller than the areas I have named. I live here keep believing those polls. this is a very different election, it is nothing like any other election you have ever seen.

Reed 590 — Fri, 28 Mar 2008 21:09:22 GMT

As a young American, 25 yr old white male, I am absolutely embarrassed, ashamed and offended by the awful comments I read on here. I will vote, campaign, and contribute to the Obama organization because of his beliefs, values, and stance on many important issues. Yes he is a good speaker, but shouldn't our president be able to win the crowd unlike Mr. GW. Bush. Shouldn't our president make you feel like there is a positive outlook, no matter how long and hard the road is to get there? I am a college graduate, I struggle to pay my mortgage each month, I work long hours to pay my bills. I want a president who does NOT want to Mandate universal health care, like Senator Clinton has proposed. I want a President who is honest and does not embellish the truth. More experience that is the saddest argument I've ever heard. If your argument for Clinton is experience then give the November election to McCain because he wins hands down in that category. Who has the most negative campaign, Clinton. Who backed the Iraq war, Clinton. Who wants to run a country when she can not even run and manage her own family, Clinton. Who campaigns for change, yet has the support of all the same lobbyist groups as politicians in the past, Clinton.

Again, I'm white male, age 25, RACE is NOT an Issue for me, nor is gender. My generation is well educated, well informed and the most non-racial generation to date. And despite all that I dislike with Hillary Clinton, I would vote for her in November should Obama not win the nomination because I can not take another 8 years of GOP rule. I write not to bad mouth Clinton, but to tell you, you should be ashamed of yourself to badmouth so many college grads and students, both white and black, male and female. I am proud to live in a country where a woman and a black man can run for president. I am not proud to live in a country of hateful people who disrespect other cultures, nations, and religions who differ from their own. We live in a Global Economy and let me tell you, we are failing. Re-focus on the ISSUES.

Forget the fact that Clinton is a woman, Obama is black, and McCain is the same old GOP candidate. Focus on the issues. Too many of you see a woman and will not vote for her. Too many of you see a black man and will not vote for him. Why not?

Did I mention I am from Pennsylvania, lived there 17 years of my life. Oh and I've been a Floridian for 8 years now. I do not feel disenfranchised. I respect that fact that the Democratic national committee warned us of the consequences and yet we did not listen. If your child writes in permanent marker on your house, would you punish him/her? Of course you would. So why shouldn't my state of Florida be punished for not following the rules? This is America, a country which used to have rules and values. Where are the rules and value if we always find a way around them?

And for all of you Republicans, what are we fighting for in Iraq. My friends are dying, what are they dying for? How is it that we found and killed Sadam Husein, but BinLaden remains on the loose? Do any of you know how much this war is costing us per day? An average of 195 MILLION DOLLARS PER DAY. I say again 195 MILLIION DOLLARS PER DAY. How long can the US Economy withstand such nonsense? People in this country are going hungry, have no job, have no health care, and are struggling every day to survive.

Our biggest problem as Americans is our Pride. Yes I am proud to be an American, but I will not force my beliefs on other nations. WE ARE NOT WORLD POLICE, its not our responsibility.

Again, Obama or Clinton should be the next president of our United States of America. They are busy quarreling amongst themselves, but do not be fooled, both could run this country far better than the current administration. Clinton and Obama are not perfect, but their short comings are far less than the short comings of the GOP in the past 8 years!

Last thing, Next time you accuse the young population of this country of going with the crowd and not paying attention, remember, we are smart, we live in this country too, and WE WILL BE HEARD.

amsisconcerned — Fri, 28 Mar 2008 21:16:22 GMT

Obama/Bloomberg! Hoo Ray! And Nubia, you are absolutely right, they are deluding themselves that Hillary will win. Well, not really. The only way Hillary will win is if people don't listen to what's going on. It is my belief that they are in the process of taking this election away from Obama, which would be awful for our democracy. Especially in light of the fact that our country plays the world police trying to enforce our democratic ways on them. I hope that everyone is paying very close attention to what is going on. This is a very important election. Sharon39 - don't let the fear tactics work on you. You and the rest of this country are a lot smarter than that. Bloomberg is not a bad guy. He is a business man. Economy - You best believe that if a man can build himself into billionaire status, he is more than capable of being the VP and the president, if necessary. It's a great ticket - one of which I predicted several months ago. My only problem is the $1B that Mr. Bloomberg will have to invest in the campaign. It is my belief that half a billion will be more than sufficient to run a presidential campaign. All that I would ask if that Mr. Bloomberg take the other half billion and begin reconstruction of New Orleans. let's not forget about a great American city. A half a billion dollars would do a lot for our economy. It would help a lot of homeless people. So people, should this ticket come to fruitition, write a letter and tell them to use half of that billion to help so of the many folks that so desperately need. I am hopeful to see an Obama/Bloomberg ticket. It is just the ticket this country needs. You talk about two people who could bring this country and finally make it the United States - it's these two. Send your e-mails to these two and put the pressure on, for they really could do this, I believe! Keep your interests up. This is a very important year! One more thing - any democrats thinking about jumping ship, PLEASE DON'T. McCain, I respect, is too old! If you currently are not an Obama supporter, give him another chance. Just listen to him and give him the opportunity, he will touch you as he as touched so many others. He is a good man and he deserves a chance to be heard. As far as the bickering back and forth, it's typical. Don't let the pundant's lead you to believe that it's tearing this party down - We are smarter than that! Hoo Ray for Obama/Bloomberg! One can only hope!

What in the world are all you guys thinking about. Do you really believe one man’s or woman’s dreams can change the country in to some kind of incredible economic, non-partisan, non-racial, socially positive and progressive reality. That is what they are telling you what they are going to do and yet over looking all these dreams is a debt that first must be reined in. Cut taxes help the hungry save the poor and needy masses and do something that no president or human being has accomplished in 200 years.

It is not my position that you should not back your candidate whom ever that is, and yes I am a moderate Democrat but I am more of a realist than an idealist. If you your self cannot vision the reality of current status of this Country at least challenge your Candidate to do so. Be emotional love one over the other that is human but it is also human to use ones mind to understand and that is tobe human as well. Just try and stop this over wellming belief that either one of these individuals with whom ever they attach to their ticket can even hope to accomplish any thing close to what they are promising in a one or even two term presidency. I may like them more than any republican I know but I want them to be honest with us not just push dreams down our throat with out at least explaining how these dreams can be paid for . Just think and use more than your feelings to do so.

I think this would be a good match up. But so would an Obama Richardson ticket. Another really interesting matchup would be an Obama, Pelosi ticket, which might go a long way to healing the way women feel about Obama. Though I think that a lot of people don't care for Pelosi, I really don't think they've given her a good enough look. She really stuck up for herself when the Clinton Machine tried to blackmail her the other day. Biden might be an interesting choice too.

Hillary is the master manipulator. She and Bill moved to New York after he left the White House for one reason only, so she could run for Senator. She could care less about the people of New York. When she ran for her second term she was asked point blank whether she was going to run for President and she would not give a straight answer. It blows my mind how people thinks she is going to be able to get anything done if elected President. What makes her the better candidate? She continually picks and chooses what she wants to take out of her experience as first.

re: Bloomberg and Obama Meet in the Big Apple. Is the White House Next?

Montiero — Sat, 29 Mar 2008 02:23:55 GMT

Obama does not need Bloomberg on his ticket and he does not his money. What is apparent is that Bloomberg respects Obama, and at a minimum this once again shows Obama wide reach. This is a man who started out without much and he should have been crushed by Clinton and her political friends, but the power of the people has put him in the position to become the next POTUS.

I know that Obama is not perfect, but I don't see anything wrong with a president that is brillant, self-made, an excellent speaker and a true inspiration to millions of people. Thoughout his campaign he has brought together black, white, Hispanic, Asian, young, old, rich and poor.

Our allies across the globe are excited about Obama because electing him President would prove that Americans are smart enough to elect someone who will be a campassionate, intelligent and creative world leader who will respect other countries; someone who has risen to his level through his own making and not through political connections and family ties. An Obama presidency proves that this really is the land of opportunity and regardless of the color of your skin or who your parents are you truly have the chance to be anything you want to be in America.

re: Bloomberg and Obama Meet in the Big Apple. Is the White House Next?

FJR in LA — Sun, 30 Mar 2008 05:52:20 GMT

JAYARR....

Hillary is proven Right-Center-Right policies of McCain and Bush....more so than most Americans are even aware of.

Obama is proven power-to-the-people and proven by his design, structure, execution and success of his campaign politically (see people-power in caucuses over fat-cat endorsements of Clinton in states like WA where both female DEM Sens endorsed HRC) and financially (see recent attempts by the more experienced/proven HRC to copycat his strategy of tapping smaller donors for lower amounts and method of internet/digital communication/aggregation to implement it).

I love the hints of Bloomberg.

Though I still favor Obama/Biden '08 for National Security Reasons.

I think Biden would help with Jewish voters as well as the "Reagan Democrats" (I hate that term). More importantly, Biden of course neutralizes the National Security issue against McCain.

My concern about Bloomberg is that his being a billionaire may allow the REPS to somehow flip the Populist issue on us (Crazier things have happened!!!)

Still I like Bloomberg's experience, neutrality to pull INDS, and track record to get fiscal, common-sense big business REPS who know the REPS have torched our position in the global economy.

Another thing I love about Biden is his apparent fascination with how Cheney has gotten away with being such a powerful V.P. I would trust Biden to try to mimic that but all for the good in helping to push the Obama/Biden agenda through Congress. This would be the single biggest Biden advantage: his ability, more so than any other VEEP candidate including Bill Richardson, to get bills passed like Cheney did in the beginning.

My big Biden fear is that having him in The White House would create a vaccuum on the Senate Foreign Relations Committee that Sen. Clinton and/or her supporters to fill to ramp up The Clinton Insurgency against Obama. Oh please don't be so naive as to think that The Clintons will stop at the Convention. After they lose there, their Insurgency against the traiterous DEM Party will go underground in its support of McCain in the General. If you thought Bill's support of Kerry was soft....this will be subtraction by addition. It'll be so much like, "With friends like these....", that Obama insiders will just stop asking The Clintons to do anything. Then after they lose there, The Clinton Insurgency will move to the US Senate where Hillary will become Lieberman REDUX, practically caucusing with McCain to deny Obama any legislative or policy victories.

Obama and the Nation's problem is that Obama is currently running against two of the most notorious sore losers in the history of American politics. Remember pre-/post-911 McCain voted/campaigned internally against the Bush tax cuts and openly flirted with caucusing with DEMS against the REPS because of his resentment against REP Primary treatment which had been over a year before BUSH's inauguration. And of course, The Clintons speak for themselves. If you think Bill is more vindictive than Hillary, try polling his ex-girlfriends.

Thanks in part to The Clintons, we have BUSH and The Iraq War so I have learned more than anyone should have ever known about the nature of Insurgencies. The Clinton Insurgency against The DEM Party and its frontrunner started sometime during Obama's 11-state winning streak though the plan has been in place since Iowa. Pre-Iowa Caucus polling convinced them they had to raise Obama's negatives to beat him; and in Iowa is when the NH GOV's husband called reporters to discuss how drug use may have in fact been drug selling/distribution; and Iowa is also where a Clinton staffer resigned after she was identified as distributing “Obama is a Muslim” emails to the media. She was turned in by officials in the Dodd Campaign who received them directly from her as well. And this was all before the Caucuses. Then Obama beat her among women in the Caucuses; that new bit of experience was all she needed to do away with Madeline Albright and all the donors she had on the stage with her in Iowa who are now threatening the Party. What she learned from Iowa and Obama led her to roll out her mom and Chelsea in NH. This is also when they decided to get Bill out to start complaining about the Obama Free-Ride in the media and asking everyone to "GIVE ME A BREAK". But still that was just aggressive campaigning expecting still to be the nominee and to right the ship after NV, SC and Super TUES.

But somewhere between Feb 5th and Mar 4th Obama won 11 straight states and The Clintons' tough campaign for the Presidency, influenced by harsh realities and Obama-math, morphed into the current Clinton Insurgency we are witnessing daily.

It really is a moot point.

My strong belief/analysis is that Obama can win with Biden or Bloomberg and produce enough coattails to have a governing majority and to get his agenda through the Congress. 57-59 Senators would be enough in this environment because safe/sane REP SENS like Spectre

I just hope JAYARR that Obama and the rest of the DEM Party recognize the lingering threat from The Clintons and their current insurgency, which if not neutralized, will prolong gridlock and give REPS another opportunity in 2010 to scale back Congressional advantage while giving them renewed hope of running against Hillary again in 2012 since they know better than we do, that she won’t stop tearing down any opponents standing in her way of the DEM Presidential Nomination....even if that opponent is a sitting DEM POTUS.

In closing, it’s always all been about race & gender, which have both always been manipulated to preserve money and power. People like Ward Connerly and Hillary Clinton, aren’t the first victims of racism and sexism to seek personal gain by pulling these levers of manipulation….all while doing irreparable harm to their natural constituency and advancing the Clarence Thomas persecution-, survivalist-, high-tech-lynching-, victimization-, “I’m-human-which-may-come-as-a-surprise-to-some-of-you-defense that provides real internal psycho-comfort and imagined external rationalization for ANY behavior in the propogation of their Insurgent cause.

Hillary's reaction to Obama's poorly worded "bitter" statement makes me realize what an opportunist she is. I've lost all respect for the Clintons. I found her "I would have left that church" comment about the Rev. Wright was another of her disingenuous comments...Obama may never have been witness to any of Wright's rants. He was in Washington after all for 2+ years. Also, Wright may have toned down his rants when Obama was present in church Both tempests in a teapot made a big deal out of of by the Clintons who seem to despeately want the White House. If Obama is not the nominee, I won't vote for anyone. We aure as hell won't survive another 4 years of McBush.
