Obama swamps Clinton on Pennsylvania airwaves
Barack Obama is vastly outspending Hillary Clinton so far on Pennsylvania's airwaves leading up to the crucial April 22 primary.
By some counts, he is buying five times more air time than Clinton. Thus far, the TV ads have mostly been biographical. One features a snippet of his speech at the 2004 Democratic National Convention in Boston, where he burst on to the national stage, plus testimonials from a Republican and Democratic leader in the Illinois legislature about his record there.
The $2 million in ad buys could help partly explain why Obama, who is in the middle of a bus tour across the Keystone State, is closing the gap in the polls to the low double digits. Governor Ed Rendell, Clinton's biggest-name supporter in the state, predicted on CNN this afternoon that she would win -- but probably not by as big a margin.
Obama also outspent Clinton in Ohio, but she won the Buckeye State on March 4 to revive her candidacy. But by holding down the size of a Clinton victory in Pennsylvania, Obama could preserve his edge in both total delegates and total popular vote.



I would like to know how Obama is getting all this money?
What special interest people does he have behind him?
where is Michele Obama lately?
eww obama
Cool !!! GOBAMA !!!
Obama is a racist crook who needs to stop down. Obama has been protected by the media, but people need to wake up and look at the unbiased truth. Obama is corrupt, lacks judgment, does not have America's interests at hand, and is a manipulative rat.
Look beyond Obama's machintions and the media manipulation. Obama is a racist crook.

Since when is a poll lead in the "low double digits" a bad sign for Clinton?
I assume by both the tone of this story and the facts in it that boston.com is a pro-Obama, because I don't see anything here about the just-released poll showing Clinton ahead by almost 30 points in Kentucky (58 to 29), and by almost the same margin in West Virginia.
Add to that the just-released poll showing McCain ahead of Obama in Michigan, where Obama's camp blocked Clinton's efforts for a revote, and who knows what will happen for the same reason in Florida.
This is not over...
Not Surprising. Obama is backed by Wall Street, Big Banks and Bank Suisee.
He's also threating Blabl Super Delegates... Yeah Obama is bringing change we can believe in. When was the last election where 2 States were denied votes to advantage one canidate. Obama played his lawyer shell games on that one.

Obama has paid over $700K to Super delegates on record
illary Rodham Clinton to Sen. Barack Obama.
“African-American superdelegates are being targeted, harassed and threatened,” said Rep. Emanuel Cleaver II (D-Mo.), a superdelegate who has supported Clinton since August. Cleaver said black superdelegates are receiving “nasty letters, phone calls, threats they’ll get an opponent, being called an Uncle Tom.
“This is the politics of the 1950s,” he complained. “A lot of members are experiencing a lot of ugly stuff. They’re not going to talk about it, but it’s happening.”
After civil rights icon Rep. John Lewis (D-Ga.) switched his support from Clinton to Obama earlier this week, other black superdelegates have come under renewed pressure to do a similar about-face. A handful have bowed to the entreaties in recent weeks, including Georgia Rep. David Scott, but many say they are steadfast in their support for Clinton and resent strong-arm tactics to make them change.
Rep. Diane E. Watson (D-Calif.), a black lawmaker and Clinton backer, said the intense lobbying for Obama would not alter her vote.
“I’ve gotten threatening mail,” Watson said. “They say, ‘Your district went 61-29 Obama and you need to change.’ But I don’t intimidate. I can hold the ground. … I would lose my seat over my principles.”

Neither Watson nor Cleaver faces a strong reelection threat at this time. Cleaver’s Kansas City-area district narrowly supported Obama in Missouri’s Feb. 5 primary.
Black superdelegates are getting heavy pressure from such groups as ColorOfChange.org, a grass-roots organization whose members overwhelmingly support Obama.
“Some [Congressional Black Caucus] members are threatening to vote against their constituents, and perhaps against the will of the American people, by casting their superdelegate vote for Sen. Clinton,” the ColorOfChange.org website reads. “We can prevent this from happen by letting black leadership know we're watching.”
But Watson said that she could not see switching her vote simply because Obama is black.
“I don’t support one type of person above all others. How would that message resonate with Koreatown?” she asked. Watson’s Central Los Angeles district is 35 percent Latino, 30 percent black and 12 percent Asian-American, including many Korean-Americans.
The Clinton campaign, for its part, has been working hard to keep its superdelegates on board. On a conference call with reporters Thursday afternoon, Clinton adviser Harold Ickes said he and campaign manager Maggie Williams had “spent a lot of time talking to our superdelegates over the past week,” and that they are “holding fast.”
The Clinton camp released a statement Thursday touting the defection of Obama supporter Veronica Escobar after polls in Texas, Escobar’s home state, showed Clinton leading among registered Hispanic voters by 62 to 21 percent.
Rep. Gregory W. Meeks (D-N.Y.), a Black Caucus member, said he is still “very strong” for Clinton even in the wake of Lewis’s turnaround. He was unmoved by discord in his Queens district, which backed Obama in the New York primary.
“Some people threw out flyers. That doesn’t faze me at all. If someone wants to run against me, that’s democracy,” he said. “Sen. Obama is a very inspirational person. People in the district are proud. I’m proud. You can’t not be proud being an African-American… But I have to do overall what’s in the best interests of my district.”
Cleaver questioned why white superdelegates such as Massachusetts Sens. Edward M. Kennedy and John F. Kerry weren’t being targeted to support Clinton after she carried their state.
“If white people were being harassed and threatened because they were not supporting a white candidate, we’d see headlines,” he said.
Cleaver said he did not believe the Obama campaign was behind the disturbing e-mails and phone calls he has received.
“I refuse to believe that Sen. Obama gave orders for something like this to happen. This is a contradiction of the new politics that Sen. Obama is running on,” he said. “My fear is with all of the nastiness, we’re going to have a whole lot of kissing and making up to do as a party.”
Editor's note: This story has been updated to reflect the fact that Veronica Escobar is not a superdelegate. The story has also been updated to reflect the fact that while a majority of ColorOfChange.org's members support Barack Obama, the organization has not endorsed him.

It's tough to buy airtime when your in debt for your employees' healthcare.
I was able to catch the speeches Obama made in Pennsylvania by just clicking on line. Did anyone catch the "A More Perfect Union" speech? This is not just a speech, it sounded like history. It gave me chills. Hillary can do what she wants. Stay in the race, keep running. But you can't fool all the people. Have you seen the crowds that come when Obama speaks? It's phenomenal. There is a reason. Listen to him. All the hate words people want to conjure up can be blogged, but the man's words are inspiring and that's Hillary's biggest problem.
Senator Obama is the most exciting and inspiring politician I've seen in my lifetime. I believe the country is ready for new - fresh - blood in government.
GO OBAMA!!! YES YOU CAN!!!
It turns the usual big $ politics on its head - in an ironic twist, the one without major PAC contributions, relying primarily on individual contributions is pulling ahead. For once, this amount of campaign spending demonstrates high levels of grassroots support rather than special interest backing.
Go Barack!
Obama may spend all his money, buy all airwaves, but he cannot buy credibility. He spend 20 years with his pastor Jeremia Wright, no doubts, listened to his racial, antigovernment, nationalistic, etc. remarks and did not quit him. It means he is fully agree with him. Now he says he did not hear anything such of his pastor, and his pastor is very good man. First of all,. it 's not true, and, second, all tirans were good for some people, and very bad for mankind.
Future president in any case must not lie.
Future nominee should be proud to be the citizen of the Unated States. In the past too. And so his wife... But, sorry, she said she was not... The same the pastor, Jeremia Wright ...
We have , already, one lier.
We do not need another one.
That's because he has money. She has not been paying her bills in previous primary states as far back as Iowa and NH and recently it was discovered that she is not paying her staff's healthcare premiums.
yay
YES! take that you corrupt "party elders" who wrote that extortion letter to the speaker. we've had it... we want our country back!
That is what happens when you depend on the people and the grass root. Lot of grass and lot of roots. When some grass is cut it grows again and again. Depnding on the big dooners (interest groups and lobbyiests) is futel. They give one time per year and always strings are attached. Pay back time comes later on the expenses of the grass roots.
It is a shame for the party; it's a shame for the candidates, especially
for Billary, who are causing this mess.
I don't think the superdelegates are nuts as Clinton suggests, that is, to allow
her to be the nominee when Obama is ahead and is much better prepared to
to be the commander-in-chief.
How can a person, who tells lies(Bosnia, Ireland, etc), be the representative of
the American people, like Hillary? No way!
Does she think she can fool everyone. No way!
I live in PA and watch a lot of TV, varying stations. Personally, I have seen more Clinton ads than Obama ads, but both have been numerous. I'll go with that instead of some reported numbers.
A WIN IN PENN WOULD SHAKE UP THE WORLD !!!!!!!
Its a crying shame that Obama and his college student McGovern types are buying this election by outspending Hillary 5 to 1. The sad part about all this, is that it more than likely will lead to big crowds, lots more donations and a McCain Victory in the Fall. McGovern did not win, and neither can Obama!
&& exactly with did obama swamp clinton ? [: lol
Hillary is dodging snippers in that Bosnia called KEYSTONE STATE aka PENN.
Remember she was named after Sir Hillary which turned out to be false. She was Hillary before the guy laced up.
She is fighting for the VP slot that is slipping faster than her High school where she played soccer in the 60's that never had any soccer program then.
The HOD WINK on ON AGAIN.
Now BUBA Clinton will get some respect in the HOUSE as the only PRESIDENT..the real one.
hillary should stop to unite the democratic party
I for one am sick of seeing his holier than thou messages. Too good to be true in my mind. Let's know more about this guys background.
Would he send troops to help his moslem cousin who likes to burn down christians trapped inside a church?
When the reporters going to ask him the real questions?
Barack Obama can change the face of america he will be president and believe me when I say he will be a historical one
Go Obama go....
they will end up on the same ticket anyways, who cares. There going to win either way
I'm an Obama supporter and a contributor, but it never ceases to bother me that simply buying airtime will convince people to vote one way or the other. You should be seeking out info on who's going to run this country yourselves, people! Don't rely on political ads that can never capture the full scope of a canidate, for good or ill. Obama is far more complex than an attendee at a controversial pastor's church, and Clinton has more to offer than her exagerrations of Bosnian "snipers". Read their speeches, look up their plans, and stop letting others tell you what to think!
BARACK OBAMA IS THE MOST POSITIVE, INTELLIGENT & UPLIFTNG
POLITICAL FIGURE IN A GENERATION.....HE HAS PROVEN BEYOND A
SHADOW OF A DOUBT HOW GOOD A DECISION MAKER HE IS, JUST BY
OUTWITTING HILLARY CLINTON BY THE KIND OF CAMPAIGN HE IS
RUNNING.....SO MUCH FOR "EXPERIENCE".....SHE MOST LIKELY THOUGHT
THAT THE PRESIDENCY WAS HER BIRTHRIGHT!!!.....WHEN YOU ADD HIS
REMARKABLE GIFT OF DELIVERY OF THE ENGLISH LANGUAGE....IT SPEAKS
VOLUMES OF WHAT AMERICA NEEDS RIGHT NOW!!!!......A PRESIDENT
THAT NOT ONLY INSPIRES AT HOME, BUT BRINGS STATURE TO AMERICA
ABROAD.........VIVA OBAMA!!!!!!!
Of the remaining races, HRC will win PA by a net of 25 points and WV by a net of 8 points. On May 20, Obama would become the Presumptive Nominee. Unfortunately, the light at the end of the tunnel for HRC is very dim. No potential path exist for her nomination. However, She ought to be given all the time she needs to exit the race gracefully at her own will. Private persuasions rather than public pressure is the way to go. Otherwise, a major dent to the party could result.
Clinton won Ohio because she and the media beat up on Barack about Nafta, when Hillary was the truly pro Nafta candidate. She didn't need to outspend Obama in Ohio, because the media all fed into the Clinton "hysteria" mission of kitchen sink, gutter politics. I just hope that this time, you journalists will refrain from giving Clinton another free ride. After all, she does exaggerate things, so be careful what you repeat.
YOU MIGHT BE AN IDIOT:-)
If you think Barack Obama with little or no experience would be better than Hillary Clinton with 35 years experience.
You Might Be An Idiot!
If you think that Obama with no experience can fix an economy on the verge of collapse better than Hillary Clinton. Whose ;-) husband (Bill Clinton) led the greatest economic expansion, and prosperity in American history.
You Might Be An Idiot!
If you think that Obama with no experience fighting for universal health care can get it for you better than Hillary Clinton. Who anticipated this current health care crisis back in 1993, and fought a pitched battle against overwhelming odds to get universal health care for all the American people.
You Might Be An Idiot!
If you think that Obama with no experience can manage, and get us out of two wars better than Hillary Clinton. Whose ;-) husband (Bill Clinton) went to war only when he was convinced that he absolutely had to. Then completed the mission in record time against a nuclear power. AND DID NOT LOSE THE LIFE OF A SINGLE AMERICAN SOLDIER. NOT ONE!
You Might Be An Idiot!
If you think that Obama with no experience saving the environment is better than Hillary Clinton. Whose ;-) husband (Bill Clinton) left office with the greatest amount of environmental cleanup, and protections in American history.
You Might Be An Idiot!
If you think that Obama with little or no education experience is better than Hillary Clinton. Whose ;-) husband (Bill Clinton) made higher education affordable for every American. And created higher job demand and starting salary's than they had ever been before or since.
You Might Be An Idiot!
If you think that Obama with no experience will be better than Hillary Clinton who spent 8 years at the right hand of President Bill Clinton. Who is already on record as one of the greatest Presidents in American history.
You Might Be An Idiot!
If you think that you can change the way Washington works with pretty speeches from Obama, rather than with the experience, and political expertise of two master politicians ON YOUR SIDE like Hillary and Bill Clinton..
You Might Be An Idiot!
If you think all those Republicans voting for Obama in the Democratic primaries, and caucuses are doing so because they think he is a stronger Democratic candidate than Hillary Clinton. :-)

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-self, 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.
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.
Sincerely
jacksmith...
Senator Amy Klobucher speaks to the national ideology that has made the US a shining beacon to the world. With Bush, this light has dimmed. Unlike Obama's suporters, Gov. Rendell of Pennsylvania, in pushing Hillary's campaign, has been speaking out against the UNITED States of America and for a DISUNITED States, divided by race, gender, age, class, etc, because that is all that Hillary will be able to produce. She will disunite us all. What solutions will be possible then? Eight more years of paralysis and the death watch for our beloved nation, with the Bush-Clinton-Bush-Clinton dynasties. Wake up, superdelegate patriots, and help Senator Klobucher turn the page for US all. The UNITED States forever!
Its easy to outspend Clinton when "MR..I don't take money from oil companies OBAMA "rakes in millions from Shell, Exxon, BP and Chevron through the back door routes and loopholes as he kisses ya and lies to the voters. Check out the NEWSWEEK article and see that MR OBAMA IS lying his way to the nomination and Bamboozling Americans!! Wake UP.
Wasn't it Ed Rendell that came out and said "whites will not vote for a black man"? That guy is a full-fledged racist and Pennsylvania should run him out of office during the end of his term as governor. How sad that racists and bigots like Rendell get into power. But, as I've said before, Hillary seems to attract the racists and bigots within our country. Umm, wonder why that is?
Bill and Hillary Clinton began the presidential primary campaign by trying to characterize Barack Obama's position against the Iraq war as "a fairy tale". But the record clearly shows that on October 2, 2002 at the Federal Plaza in Chicago Barack Obama delivered a powerful speech against the US starting a war in Iraq, while later that same month both Senators Hillary Clinton and John McCain voted for the funds requested by President Bush to authorize the beginning of US military action in Iraq.
After being severely criticized for totally misrepresenting Obama’s position on the Iraq war, the Clintons dropped that accusation and instead began saying that Barack Obama was simply too young and inexperienced to be president. Both Hillary Clinton and John McCain have tried to convince voters that because Barack Obama is younger than they are that he therefore must be too young and inexperienced to be president. But the facts suggest otherwise.
Senator John McCain is 71 years old, Senator Hillary Clinton is age 60 and Senator Barak Obama is 46 years of age. Previously America has had both younger and older individuals who have become president and served with great distinction such as Theodore Roosevelt who became president at age 42, John Kennedy who assumed the presidency at age 43, and Ronald Regan who was sworn in as the Commander in Chief on January 20, 1981 at age 69.
Before Abraham Lincoln took the oath of office in 1860 to become our 16th president he had previously served 8 years as an Illinois state legislator and 4 years in the U.S. Congress, which happens to be precisely Barack Obama’s experience. Bill Clinton became president at age 46 after having served 12 years as the governor of Arkansas, but without having had any prior experience whatsoever in Washington or as a state legislator.
How do Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton actually compare in terms of their individual experience?
Barack Obama graduated from Harvard Law School Magna Cum Laude in 1991 and served as the President of the Harvard Law Review. Given those credentials he could have joined any number of prestigious law firms but instead felt compelled to give back to his local community, so he returned to his home in Chicago to direct a voter registration drive and work as an attorney representing community organizers working on voting rights and civil rights cases. In 1993 he became a lecturer of Constitutional Law at the University of Chicago Law School and in 1996 was elected to the Illinois State Senate where he served 8 years prior to his landslide election to the US Senate in November 2004. With his combined service as an Illinois State Senator and US Senator, 46 year old Senator Barack Obama is currently is serving his 12th year as an elected legislator accountable to voters.
Hillary Clinton graduated from Yale law school in 1973 and subsequently worked as a lawyer at the Rose Law Firm in Little Rock, Arkansas and has been a very active spouse, first as the wife of the governor of Arkansas and then as the First lady of the United States. In her own right she was elected to the US Senate from her adopted state of New York in 2000, and she is currently serving her 8th year as an elected legislator accountable to voters.
The latest charges being leveled against Barack Obama by Bill and Hillary Clinton are that Barack Obama is unpatriotic and doesn’t love America and is not qualified to be commander in chief of our military forces, despite Barack Obama’s latest book published in 2006, The Audacity of Hope, which clearly and unmistakably shows how much Senator Barack Obama deeply loves, appreciates, and respects our great country.
Barack Obama’s opponents are trying to pretend that his former pastor’s anger and bitterness and sometimes over the top 1960’s type radical incendiary rhetoric that Barack Obama has repeatedly denounced and has totally rejected are actually the feelings and words of Barack Obama himself rather than those of Rev. Jeremiah Wright Jr.
But again the facts don’t support such erroneous conclusions and the current tactics being used by the Clinton’s to denigrate Barack Obama are not working any better than previous ones because on March 12, 2008 10 distinguished retired Generals and Admirals of the United States Army, Air Force and Navy unconditionally endorsed Barack Obama for President of the United States and to become the Commander in Chief of all United States Military Forces.
On October 2, 2002, Barack Obama’s judgment told him that starting a war in Iraq would be a big mistake and he forcefully said so. Much to the contrary, later that same month both Senators Hillary Clinton and John McCain voted for funds authorizing President Bush to begin the Iraq war.
When Barack Obama decided to run for president, unlike Hillary Clinton and John McCain, he made the significant decision that he would not accept campaign contributions from lobbyists, special interests, and political action committees for his presidential campaign. It was Barack Obama’s judgment that it would be preferable if the next President of the United States were elected without being beholden to money peddlers in Washington or anywhere else.
Barack Obama’s belief that together ordinary Americans can do extraordinary things has been ridiculed by his opponents as “just high sounding words” and “big talk from a pied piper”. But when 1 million ordinary Americans use their credit cards and each gives $25-50 dollars with the click of a mouse to raise $25-50 million dollars for Obama’s campaign without the help of special interests, political action committees, lobbyists, $1000 a plate dinners, or huge contributions from American billionaires most of us think that’s pretty extraordinary.
Suppose Barack Obama becomes the Democratic nominee for president at the Democratic National Convention in August, and suppose on November 4, 2008 the majority of Americans decide to vote for Barack Obama, the presidential candidate who among many other things has refused to accept campaign contributions from special interests, political action committees, and lobbyists but has financed his campaign solely from the contributions of people to whom he is accountable, people like you and me.
Furthermore, suppose this idea of raising money for political campaigns directly from the voters to whom the candidate is accountable sits so well with the American people that they come to expect that future presidential candidates as well as candidates for other offices such for the US Senate and House of Representatives will do as Barack Obama has done. What if candidates who continue to accept campaign contributions from special interests, political action committees, and lobbyists find it increasingly difficult to get elected? Would that help or hurt democracy in America?
That’s the kind of change that Barack Obama represents which concerns so many in Washington who aren’t very eager for the American people to reclaim their democracy from the influence of money peddlers, individuals who currently make arrangements to provide huge amounts of financial support to political candidates whom they believe have a good chance of winning and whom they can then “work with” later on.
Don’t let fear and hate mongers, talk radio hosts, smooth talking politicians, or anyone else do your thinking for you. We are at a historic moment in America. Barack Obama is a very special candidate for president who can bring about significant changes in Washington and help ordinary Americans begin reclaiming their democracy. Pennsylvania Senator Bob Casey Jr. knows this and has recently endorsed Senator Barack Obama, recognizing Obama’s integrity, intelligence, and the strong leadership he can provide as president. It is time for voters in Pennsylvania and in the remaining states that will soon vote in presidential primary elections to stand up and be counted so that together ordinary Americans can begin reclaiming America.
I am a Massachusetts Independent. I would like to state that I do not believe that Sen. Obama will win in PA. This latest "problem" that has surfaced regarding his statement denying any knowledge of his 1996 paper which has now surfaced with notes in his own handwriting, appears to be another incident of dishonesty by the Senator...and most people want to vote for someone who puts forth honesty...at least when they are in the process of voting for the candidate.

The pundits say that "going negative" is something underdogs do. Although Obama is leading in national polls, he is the underdog in Pennsylvania. Perhaps he should point out instances of Hillary Clinton's prevarication in his advertising: the Bosnia "sniper fire" delusion and, especially for the blue-collar voters, her claims to have opposed NAFTA when she was in fact delivering speeches in support of it.

OBAMA LIES IN PENNSYLVANIA AD
It's unfortunate that Senator Obama is using false advertising to explain why he can be trusted to do something about energy prices. In his ad, Obama says, I'm Barack Obama, and I don't take money from oil companies or lobbyists, and I won't let them block change any more. Obama has been the recipient of more than $220,000 from the oil and gas industry just since as of Feb/08. Two of Obama's campaign bundlers are also CEOs for oil and gas companies, per his campaign Web site? Obama needs to answer to VOTERS about his dealings with one of his largest contributors Exelon, a big nuclear power company that he cut deals behind closed doors protecting them from full disclosure in the nuclear industry. Exxon, Shell, and others are among his biggest donors

Senator Obama CAUGHT LYING about Kennedy Role in Helping His Father
Contrary to Obama's claims in speeches Kennedy family did not provide the funding for a September 1959 airlift of 81 Kenyan students to the United States that included Obama's father. According to historical records and interviews with participants, the Kennedys were approached for support for the program a year later, July 1960. family responded with a $100,000 donation, which went to pay for a second airlift in September 1960.
According to Citizen Wells - March 21, 2008: Obama has a dual citizenship with Kenya. His passport was breached today by inquiring minds because Obama is an anti-Israel, pro-pan-Arabian Islamic-socialist who has ties to Marxist Libyan President Muamar al Gadaffi, and a Syrian tycoon, Antoin Rezko, Saudi Arabian Scheiks and Rezko's "close friend" Nadhami Auchi, the one who gave Obama fundraiser money (and helped to buy his mansion): Iraqi billionaire, global arms dealer, Nadhmi Auchi, was Baathist best friends with Saddam Hussein, and the main financial backer (from funds stolen from Oil for Food Program0 for Saddam's - Iraqi -Saudi oil pipeline, and who stood trial with Saddam Hussein in 1959 for conspiring to assassinate Iraqi President Qasim.
please don't listen to the pundits and other so called super delegate to quit. we want you to continue fighting on... you will be the next president of the united states. we believe in you......GO HILLARY!!!!!!
You can identify the Looser in the language. Calling other Idiots...and so and so feels like talking about himself for voting for someone that used cuban cigar in parts of some woman's anathomy wilst in the Oval Office. That's why Al Gore lost the presidency by assosiation...remember that??
It's a scandal that obama dare to be better then the others. Because he is looking a little different he is surely mean and cheating....... there has to be something wrong with him....... maybe he is hiding something........, we will find it out......
If Mrs. Clinton doesn't win a lot of people will loose their job, a lot of businesses will be finished, crime will rise, a lot of people will be broke because of the high prices of gas and high medical costs. The Clintons understand that giving buying power to the middle class is the key to a successful economy. Most of the people writing horrible things about Mrs. Clinton and Mr. Obama are not Democrats. Before you vote ask yourself who will do a better job for me during the next four years, if you choose wrong you will have to live with it.
I feel that it is Senator Obama’s destiny to become the next president of the United States of America. Change is taking place at an exponential rate in America today and this dynamic young man will have everyone believing that “Yes we can” or "Si se puede.” “Que viva Obama! OBAMA WON TEXAS officially to day four more delegates than Helliery.
I pray for Obama's victory just to show the world that this is a unified country. As a white American I know there is some good within us. I really hated blacks but I couldn't tell you why if I tried. But I went to a rally to hear Barack speak and I must say I felt the man's words. The United States needs a healing. I confess today I am not still too fond of blacks, but I love Sen. Barack Obama.
The "Big Media" on your television is not going to report on Obama for you, you do realize you need to look it all up, you have to find it. The Big Media is owned by the Republicans, and they are completely against Hillary Clinton and they are not going to tell you the truth, they would rather have Cheney's cousin (Obama) than have Clinton running on the democratic ticket.
The best person for the job is the person the "Big Media" "G. E." , "DISNEY", "Fox", George Soros, are against, and that is Hillary Clinton.
The plain and simple truth is that with a Clinton in the White House we will not be borrowing from China to pay our Social Security recipients, seniors, their checks each month.
Obama is a dirty politician from Chicago, he has used the caucus in every state for his small leads, he brings in his paid people to cause disruption during the caucus process with all of his dirty money he has from people like Antoin Rezko and Nadhmi Auchi the British-Iraqi billionaire. Have you noticed how the Rezko scandal went away? Big Media did that for him, just like they over look his real racism against every race except the black race.
Clinton wins the popular votes in the states, but he uses the caucus like the dirty politician he is.

He has been a member of the TUCC church for 20 years and is dear friends with Rev. Wright, who Damns whites, Jews, and most importantly AMERICA.
The TUCC supports the HAMAS which are on our U.S. terrorist list for years!

A good argument would be that the Obama supporters are all black at this point, since his TUCC church supports the HAMAS, and rants about many races hurting the black people. He has in fact set in this church and listen to the old beloved Minister down all races except the black race, which he himself only being half black, so he must hate his Mother. I think he must need a good Psychiatrist. He has already used the name of his white Grandmother in a bad attempt to show his own prejudices, when his prejudice comes straight from his faith and his church. It is cult like and not a real Christian church, but that's understandable since the latest polls the U.S. looks like the Canadian and Britain polls and there are more Muslims than Christians in all countries world wide.
Hillary Clinton is the only candidate who has an overwhelming majority of ALL RACES backing her, that's not racist, that's a fact. I was a Delegate and I witnessed it with my own eyes, all of the Obama Delegates were black, except maybe two whites, but not one other race there to support Mr. Obama. All of the Clinton Delegates at our Caucus were mixed completely mixed with, Black, Mexican American, Asian Americans, and White, which I feel we all represent America we are all just plain and simply put Americans, all of us were there to represent a Nation of mixed races, religions, all different and beautiful.
That is the facts, if you try to switch the tables on anyone of us different people who are all different you will get a great argument from now on ALL Obama supporters.
I'm so tired of the racist undertones that Obama supporters use, when they are the only people I see showing any racism at all.
Sheila Jackson Lee is a strong American woman supporting another strong American woman, just like she is, so you sound racist when you pick on her.
Aren't you fed up Americans? This Bush Clinton Bush Clinton....Here is change in which we can believe in. I am certain that Americans need change, and have not failed to demonstrate this need at the campaigns....He has the popular votes, the states, the delegates...If Obama was Clinton so much pressure would have been on him to give in....Clinton, this is what you need to do...You are not the right fit for the job, for your culture will not bring about the radical changes America want to see...Obama can and will! Go Obama Go!
Can we just get along......???? A vote for senator Obama is not a vote against senator Clinton and vice versa. It simply says that something our prefered candidates have said or a position she or he has taken finds greater resonance with our own take on the issue. There is no good guys( meaning angels); there is no bad guys( meaning evil). We are all americans; we just disagree. Instead let us use our resources, creativity, energy to fight the real evil: homelessness, inferior education, hunger, diseases, apathy. and plain hatred. We are all God's children. Let us behave like we are!
