Clinton looks to Wisconsin and Texas

I am the "flip flopper" who would vote for Obama over McCain then flip and vote for McCain over Clinton.

There are policies which Obama supports that hurt my sensibilities. As a father I fell in love with my son long before his birth. I would give my life over his. Sorry, just can't help feeling that way.

But I also know that Barack was 100% right on the Iraq war. As a hunter I know what guns can and can't accomplish. Terrorism is a spiritual (not religious) war. We must win the hearts of the hopeless.

The rhetoric of evil enemy is misguided. We can’t fight our way to victory. As much as Bush/McCain use Germany and Korea as their guiding examples… they are simply wrong. Terrorism is not a state… it is a state of mind. Persuasion is the only strategy. In this war… words do matter!

Hillary and McCain don’t get it. I don’t fault them. They are just politicians.

McCain is an American hero. I deeply respect his service. If the Soviet Union attacks us I hope to God we call on him for guidance (and I am sure he’d be there). But they won’t because there is no “Soviet Union”.

Hillary and Bill do know how to manage. And they certainly thrive on politics. It is the “fun part” for them.

However, terrorism is emotional. Words are sacred. You don’t blow yourself up as a technical matter. You don’t memorize the sacred text for fun.

Obama has shown the capacity for understanding the human spirit. Might sound simple and even ridiculous, but in reality it is the highest level of leadership. He is our greatest hope to alter the internal dialog of the hopeless. And that is where this battle plays out.

Hillary just give up. The American people do not want a board of director for Wall-Mart for 6 years to be their president!

It looks like Hillary is getting free ads here Mr. Rhee

"If you believe health care is America's moral obligation, join her."

I don't think it is America's obligation. Health care is not a God given right and Hillary needs to stop thinking that we all feel that way. Pay into the system, and get something out of it, that is capitalism at its' finest and the reason we have the best medicine of any country, because we have people paying to make it better.

Obama as much as he is intelligent, energetic, and brave etc and preaches “CHANGE, CHANGE TO WASHINGTON”
An empty phrase, because to this day I do not know what is going to do except saying he will change Washington. How?
Is he going to fire all senators and oldies who should not be there anyway? Not possible.
Is he going to fire house representatives ? Not possible.
Is he going to tell insurance agents to give insurance to everyone?
Is he going to tell employers to hire people immediately to work?
Is he going to suspend trade agreements?
Is he going to develop car to run on water?
Is he going to tell middle-east oil kings to get lost?
Is he going to fly around the world and tell everyone how great is America?
NO, He is going to CHANGE, But WHAT ? and HOW?

America is the great country but it is driven but waves of excitement and empty politics instead of real politics which require knowledge of the subject and unfortunately many relationships Obama does not have. Before he will build them the country will buckle and we will end up with the same as we have now if not worst. We might have popular president but that is about it. I do not see Obama has done anything except preaching change. There is nothing but words.
The youngsters who ride today’s wave need to understand, Waves come and go. And the bigger the wave the bigger will be destruction. Tsunami is not a good thing.

Many youngster who are voting today don’t have experience, don’t know how much health insurance cost, many don’t have families, jobs etc. And right now they are all happy and excited because most of their expenses are paid. Paid by their parents, so for now they can be cool. Tomorrow is theirs turn to pay for insurance, loose their job, feed the family, have sick children, and bag for food stamps. Colleague education is on thing but life is another.

Go Barack !

All this talk of "change" reminds me of that episode of South Park where Springfield gets invaded by bums. They walk around like zombies and keep on saying "Spare some change ?" and "Have any change ?". The residents are terrified and hole themselves up. As soon as somebody mentions the word change they get blown away !

Having said that I think of electing a candidate like this, we will have to look at this person's face and listen to their speeches for the next 4 years. At the end of the day you'd be hard-pressed to find any major policy differences between Hillary and Obama so in the end you're just going to choose which face you like the most. That's why I'd choose Obama, Hillary cannot make a decent speech, she has no entertainment value. She's so stiff and out of touch with the emotions of the people that I really don't she think she's right for the job. Furthermore she comes across as vindictive and unlikely to forget the smallest slight. I just don't like her.

Obama may be the only choice for real change. What can never be completely delineated during a campaign is all the policy that will be required in the coming years. Campaign promises are often empty ones; better to assess the character of the person to know (or at least guess) how well they'll handle the Presidency.

That job, to me, should be handled much like an engineering task: you see what, in general terms, needs to be accomplished or what problem needs to be solved, you determine all the choices and their costs and benefits, and make a judgement, a choice. While experience is sometimes helpful, it can as often be a hinderance, tying one to past notions and solutions. What seems most important to me is that the President is open to differing points of view to see the broad landscape, and then after consideration makes an intelligent choice. That choice should not be determined by idealogy, which is inflexible to real needs and changing exigences. Idealogy is a bane to good governance. We've seen that the last seven years, haven't we?

Obama seems to have these important qualities, qualities that seems to attract some Republicans as well as Independents. If there has ever been a time when we needed someone to bring us together, it is now, and Obama is the person to do it.

Obama is the real thing.

When was the last time a politician's words were made into a popular American song and then to see it downloaded 10,000,000 times in a week across the Web?

Obama is bringing real hope to the country. The changes he will bring will be a result of his ability to get people to take action as they're doing now for his campaign.

I believe in this candidate and after nearly 30 years of a Bush or Clinton in the White House we will finally have a candidate we all WANT to believe in.

And yes, America is sick and tired of Lewinsky, the Rose Law Firm, Whitewater, Vince Foster, Travelgate, or cattle futures.

The real question is the potential for Clinton to steal the campaign with vote-rigging as seen here on YouTube testimony to congress:

They say that Clinton cannot win caucuses, just where voting machines are involved. hmmmm.....

We remember...

Mogadishu
Branch Davidians
Rwanda
Hillarycare
Whitewater
Filegate
Travelgate
Lewinsky
Impeachment

If you Dems have any sense at all, you'll put up Obama and win big! You'll get 20% republican vote, but if you put up that self-serving, crazy-eyed thing from NY, you'll probably lose the next two terms. Give someone else a chance, put up Obama and win!

Obama brings wisdom and inspiration. I value that over the "experience" of having been vetted by the "Republican Attack Machine" over 35 years or whatever. We can do better than looking for leadership to Bushes or Clintons, for a change.

Obama '08, all in

The republican plan is working: 1st: get rid of Hillary; 2nd: slam on Obama and split the country. Hillary can play their game and actually knows how to get things done. Re: Healthcare: mandated means all and Not Madated: means taxpayers still paying for the peopel not covered plus their premiums

If you like standing in line at the DMV, you're gonna LOVE standing in line for your HRC government health care. Think about it!!!

Obama is a preacher and as evidence have a look at his choice to run a media campain that highlights his revival style stadium speeches. Anyone else notice that? We as democrats need to start focusing on the issues facing this country and less on style over substance. Damn, if you hate Hillary can somone tell me what they like about Obama without using his favorite two words, "change" and "hope." Obama forgets he running with a fellow minority and instead of giving Hillary her just respect he describes her as "the same old characters." Can anyone say "selling out." Obama wants to be president at any cost.

Is healthcare a moral obligation? Let me ask you this, is education a moral obligation? Healthcare is more of a fundamental need than education, yet everyone is entitled to a free public education, but not healthcare? This doesn't add up. All of the worlds industrialized nations have universal healthcare, yet we are still debating if its a fundamental need. Yes Obama gets me inspired, but he is WRONG on this issue. Our healthcare system is ranked lower than most other industrialized nations, despite the billions we spend. But the biggest problem with Obama's plan is that it would cost MORE not less as this article implies. Unlike Hiliary's Universal Healthcare Plan that spreads costs/risks/rewards among all its participants, Obama's plan would attract only those who can't get insurance, in other words those already sick, which would make it higher cost and not affordable as he says his plan will be. The rest of the world has decided this a long time ago, but as usual we must do things at our own pace. I am all for change, but not for change for change sake. Like Obama said it IS important to be right from day one.

You say you don't want to vote for Clinton because of her ties to Walmart?

Michelle Obama was made a director, shortly after Obama was elected into the Senate, and served as a salaried board member of TreeHouse Foods, Inc. (the largest supplier to WalMart) but cut her ties right after Obama mentioned Clinton’s ties to Walmart. (Throwing a rock in a glass house?)

At least Clinton was seen as a "thorn in the side" from other Walmart board members because of her push for "equality"

Little fact the news fails to mention...but you can bet your bottom dollar the republicans are going to bring it up....

HHmmmmm wonder why the Republicans are "behind" Obama..???

#2. Sean

Re your comment regarding Hillary's long ago association with Walmart, I'm sure you know that Michelle Obama very recently (can you say 7 days before Barack announed his candidacy) quitely left a $51,000/year position as a board member for Walmart's largest supplier, Treehouse. Can you say double standard Sean?

OBAMA'S BACK GROUND

ONE OF HIS MOTHERS,(Biological)

Ann DUNHAM of Wichita, Kansas.Had Obama 4 August 1961 at the Queen's Medical Hospital. Obama went to a muslim school.

His parents met while both were attending the East-West Center of University of Hawaii at Manoa.

For those of you who say Obama is black:

Obama and Slavery

Barack Obama's Ancestors Owned Slaves.
Obama hide this fact to get the Black vote.

So add that to his drug abuse, lies, Mob, syndicate, Mafia and
corruption in Illinois.

The Illinois senate has been a cesspool of corruption for decades. See one of the many links below.

Obama Casts His Spell
By Charles Krauthammer

WASHINGTON -- There's no better path to success than getting people to buy a free commodity. Like the genius who figured out how to get people to pay for water: bottle it (Aquafina was revealed to be nothing more than reprocessed tap water) and charge more than they pay for gasoline. Or consider how Google found a way to sell dictionary nouns -- boat, shoe, clock -- by charging advertisers zillions to be listed whenever the word is searched.

And now, in the most amazing trick of all, a silver-tongued freshman senator has found a way to sell hope. To get it, you need only give him your vote. Barack Obama is getting millions.

This kind of sale is hardly new. Organized religion has been offering a similar commodity -- salvation -- for millennia. Which is why the Obama campaign has the feel of a religious revival with, as writer James Wolcott observed, a "salvational fervor" and "idealistic zeal divorced from any particular policy or cause and chariot-driven by pure euphoria."

OBAMA sounds dangerously like "REVELATION" and "THE LEFT BEHIND BOOKS"

We are the hope of the future," sayeth Obama. We can "remake this world as it should be." Believe in me and I shall redeem not just you but your country -- nay, we can become "a hymn that will heal this nation, repair this world, and make this time different than all the rest."
