Philadelphia paper backs Obama
The People Paper came out today for Barack Obama.
The Philadelphia Daily News endorsed Obama, the Illinois senator's latest major newspaper endorsement leading up to the Pennsylvania primary on Tuesday.
The Daily News declared that the decision for voters between Hillary Clinton and Obama is a choice between the past and the future.
"Should Democrats choose someone who will employ hard-won -- even bitter - experiences gained in a past Democratic administration, or reach beyond political truisms toward a new (and untried) model of governing?" the endorsement editorial said. "Neither choice is obvious. Perhaps that's why the race has gone on for so long. But the long slog through 44 primaries and caucuses has confirmed for us that Sen. Barack Obama's vision of change -- and the way he plans to pursue it -- is what we need right now. Badly."
In recent days, Obama has won the endorsements of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette and the newspapers in Allentown and Scranton.
Obama WAS AWFUL IN THE DEBATE, we cannot risk our country on him!
OUR TIME HAS COME FOR DEMOCRATS TO FULLY SUPPORT SENATOR CLINTON TO WIN IN NOV.
VOTERS ARE SICK OF THE MEDIA EXCUSING OBAMA NO MATTER WHAT HE DOES, HIS AWFUL SENATE RECORD, CORRUPT FINANCIAL BACKERS, TERRORIST CONNECTIONS OR WHO HE OFFENDS!!!!
Obama camp makes excuses for no-shows in Philly's black neighborhoods! Obamas view of Americans is extremely disturbing!

VOTERS DEMAND OBAMA DROP OUT NOW, WITH ALL THE NEW POLITICAL DAMAGING STUFF COMING FROM HIM AND MICHELLE OBAMA, IN ADDITION TO WRIGHTS CONTINUED OBAMA DEFENDED ATTACKS ON WHITE AMERICA. HE WILL SURLY LOOSE THE GENERAL ELECTION FOR DEMOCRATS.
Obama looses another pledged delegate!
Obama supporter has given up her role as pledged delegate after her “unacceptable” description of PA neighbor children as “monkeys,” because they were climbing in trees.
Linda Ramirez-Sliwinski, an a Hispanic trustee for the Village of Carpentersville, Ill., was accused of racism following the interaction with her African-American neighbors.

Obama has a dual citizenship with Kenya Al-Qaeda chief Osama bin Laden would be praying for an Obama victory because it would help the militants win in Iraq. Citizen Wells 3/08
Memories of Obama's recent racial stereotype of the 'typical White person' are still fresh. Add to this now his view of the 'typical small town person.' Obama is quoted as disparaging residents of small towns in Pennsylvania as being “like a lot of small towns in the Midwest” where “it's not surprising then they get bitter, they cling to guns or religion or antipathy to people who aren't like them or anti-immigrant sentiment or anti-trade sentiment as a way to explain their frustrations.”
Obama is unapologetic, even dissing of voters in Florida and Michigan one has to wonder what groups of Americans he really respects?
Racist wife, Michelle, saying she was proud of America "for the first time" only because of her husband's presidential run.
Obama explained he doesn't wear an American flag lapel pin or hold his hands to his heart during the Pledge of Allegiance because it is a substitute for patriotism,
Obama confirms his own moral obliviousness and he seems to have disdain for those who are troubled by his own unwillingness to break with The Great White hater Rev Wright
Rev Wright says you don't have to wait for the afterlife for the mansion on the hilltop, he’s right! To shut him up Trinity United Church of Christ is building Rev. Wright a $1 mil house on a lot that was purchased for $345,000. According to federal income tax return Obama gave $222,500
Wright continues his Obama supported attacks on non-blacks Wright states Jesus death on the cross was a public lynching Italian style.
Obamas senate record shows he infact did support the war voted against bringing America's troops home, voted for war appropriations giving our money to Halliburton and Blackwater, voted with Bush/Chaney latest bit of posturing S433 to suspend any troop withdrawal, if not suspended, keeps the troops in Iraq for a long time to come.
Washington Post- Fact Check- Senator Obama CAUGHT LYING about Kennedy Role in Helping His Father Contrary to Obama's claims in speeches Kennedy family did not.
Chicago Daily Herald- Obama refers to himself as 'a constitutional law professor on the campaign trail. TRUTH: He never held any such title!
The Democratic candidate Obama and his wife earned $4.2 million last year -- four times as much as they had in 2006. Made $240,370 in charitable contributions. Their largest gifts were to the United Negro College Fund ($50,000), the international relief organization CARE ($35,000) and Trinity United Church of Christ in Chicago ($26,270). The Obamas contributed just $6 in 2007 to the federal fund that provides public financing for presidential campaigns in exchange for limits on spending. Not so struggling middle class and Michelle says they struggle to pay for piano lessons.
Thank you for not allowing Mrs Clinton to distract you, but you see that Obama is the new president America needs in this time.
OBAMA IS NUMBER 1 HE WILL HELP AMERICA CHANGE
Obama is God's saviour of America, to save us from the evil empire of the Reagan/Bush conspiracy to overtake the gov't out of the hands of the people..
Obama for President! And Jesse Jackson for Sec of State. And Al Sharpton for Sec of Defense.
"Heh, heh, heh, heh, heh." ~ George W. Bush
It's not obama that need to get out it is Hillary.She is the one no one can trust. The problem is that the republican knows that obama his going to beat mccain and the debate last night was question that can from shawn hannity the republican. The fact at hillary will not release her taxes for 2007 is she has plenty to hide.the true about the debate is the media is all for hillary to win because mccain will beat her in the fall because I will not vote for hillary aand the fall.
It is a wise man that sees the truth. Good job Philadelphia Daily!!!!
Pennsylvania voters....I am going to say what I hope most voters are thinking...all eyes are upon you. Your vote on April 22 may change the world. It will definitely be an opportunity to shape history. I'm from Ohio. I voted and supported Obama. I feel I let him down. Please, please....I'm sensing an upset looming.....Let your voices be heard loudly......VOTE OBAMA! Vote for a chance for world peace and reconciliation.
I think Obama spoke to America like an adult last night. And I think that's what we in PA, America and the rest of the world have been looking for. We are done with the politics of old we are ready for a new way of politics and I think the people of PA will make that known.
That first comment is why, precisely, that we need Obama. Aren't we sick of all the diviseness and hatred? We've got a choice in this country: we can either fight and try to tear eachother down, or we can move back towards the days when we were proud of this country, of our leadership, and our ability to make a better world for those less fortunate.
Wearily, tiredly, exhausted from the last 8 years... I say ENOUGH! Let's unite behind this obviously caring and hopeful man. Yes, we can forge a better America. Yes, we can bring out the best in our country and citizens. Let's do it! Obama '08.
That first poster has way too much time on their hands. I'm sure if someone wanted to make a list of all the time the Clinton's have misspoke or had questionable relationships then it would surely be twice as long. The only difference is we've talked about this issues for the last 16 years already. they aren't sexy anymore, but they are still there. The Clinton's are just a flawed, probably more so, it's just that we know all of their flaws already... which is probably why 50% of the country doesn't trust them and would not vote for her no matter what.
Was last night's debate supposed to be a joke or did it just turn out that way because of the incompetent moderators ? Charlie Gibson and George ( can't get enough of those good years that I worked for the Clintons ) Stephanoupolis. How can McCain possibly lose this election. He has such a commanding grasp of economical issues . His way to fix the problem of soaring gas prices is " Let's give the people a tax holiday on the price of gas" I am afraid that it is John McCain who needs a holiday
superdelegates up, up and away. Lame
Dear "Get Out Obama",
Obviously you are uneducated and naive. I would even venture to say a boarderline racist yourself. Your points are null. You are the uneducated and easily deceived citizen that Ms. Clinton hopes to hook onto her "team". Did you not happen to see/hear Ms. Clinton admit to lying about being under "sniper fire" in Bosnia? She is deceitful and I honestly do not want someone like that as my next president. Neither candidate is perfect, but Barack Obama seems to be honest and truthful (as much as a politician can be) and has a new vision for America. Please figure things out for yourself rather than simply being a lemming, and referring to ONE anti-Obama website for all of your facts.
PS In case you want to bring anything back, just so you know...I am won over by Barack Obama, and I am a female, white, republican.
Don't hate number one.
All of these organizations/papers wouldn't back Obama if he wasn't the man.
Gosh, #1, you got a little hatred going there? Blind bitterness -- yes, bitterness -- can produce real blinders. Take a step back and take a breath. If Obama does win, then you, with your screed that approaches a conspiracy ramble, have to be in it, too. Maybe if he wins, then you'll be forced into a little more emotional maturity. Doubtful, but one must hope, as the man says. One must hope.
Clinton is the voice of politics of the past. The billboard for warfare between the parties.
If you want to continue the failed politics of the past - then by all means vote for Clinton.
If you want to reach out for a chance to try something better - vote for Obama.
Hillary will do anything to get elected, I mean Anything!! She does not care about the people and their interest; she never has. Wake up and vote for Obama!
Hillary will do anything to get elected, I mean Anything!! She does not care about the people and their interest; she never has. Wake up and vote for Obama!
To Get Out Obama,
Your post is filled with strobly biased, inaccurate agressive speak that is bordering on hateful. Get control of yourself, you confused fear-monger. Your lies are a waste of precious time.
those commentas are very disturbing ignorant specially towards Obama. i hope this years americans will open up their eyes and vote for obama. This country is in bad shape economically we are in recession. My problems with most americans is they are naive and can accept the true about who they really are and this is why we could never move forward as a nation.
Please ignore the comment below me. He is Karl Rove on amphetamine....
As an Airborne Ranger in Iraq, I am happy to see the country coming around to Obama. I am of Lebanese-American descent, and I resent this racial profiling constantly coming up. People should remember that SEAL who won the Medal of Honor recently was Arab-American.
Let's vote on the issues that matter! And let's not forget that Hilary mathmatically cannot win, is behind 1 million votes, and needs to go!
Sgt Porter
And the Chicago Tribune endorsed George W Bush in the 2004 election. Good Job!
Wow. So which Clinton employee wrote that first comment?
Terrorist connections? Hahahahah. That's hilarious.
You know what else is hilarious? The thought of Hillary becoming president.
To #1 who said: "Obama WAS AWFUL IN THE DEBATE, we cannot risk our country on him! OUR TIME HAS COME FOR DEMOCRATS TO FULLY SUPPORT SENATOR CLINTON TO WIN IN NOV. "
Too bad there's not a rolling eyes smiley icon that I can use to illustrate my reaction to your diatribe. I am an independent voter and relish that status as I vote for the candidate - Republican or Democrat, that I feel embodies my best interests as an American citizen and has a vision that most closely aligns with mine on our government, domestic and foreign relations. The debate last night - though not a stellar performance by Obama (IMHO) solidifies my support for him. I realize that I do not want a continuation of the Bush regime nor do I want to turn the clock back to a Clinton administration. I believe that Barack Obama is our best hope for changing the way America operates, sees itself and is viewed in the world. In four years he will not be able to undo what's taken us decades to do, but he will set the framework for progress and enlightenment - and economic and domestic policies that we as American citizens have a voice and stake in.
Your quote made me laugh remembering how staunchly republicans and religious conservatives rallied behind Bush during his two elections, even though his debate "skills" were beyond moronic. Obama has demonstrated his intellect and grasp of the issues that are important and willingness to move forward. He was being attacked from the two moderators, Clinton, and by proxy, the Republicans (through questions fed to George from Sean Hannity). Under those circumstances, I think he handled himself just fine and remained composed.
The debate last night was an example of tabloid journalism at its worst. Shame on Stephanopoulos (who should move to Fox news with Hannity) and shame on Hillary Clinton who showed that she is one of the most abject politician of her generation.
As a white woman over 60 I am proud to vote in November for Barack Obama.
Obama was fine last night. Hillary is a liar, plain and simple. The clintons don't deserve another stay on my dime. And then to clean out everything that isn't tied down before they leave is an insult to America. They claim they did so great with the economy, that's a big falicy.
It seems, the way to vote is the contrary on the way the MEDIA is inducing us. ( the way they want us to vote), THE MEDIA is backing, primarily mc cain, in second place obama!! so the way to vote is !!! Mrs. Clinton!! VOTERS DEMAND OBAMA DROP OUT NOW, WITH ALL THE NEW POLITICAL DAMAGING STUFF COMING FROM HIM AND MICHELLE OBAMA, IN ADDITION TO WRIGHTS CONTINUED OBAMA DEFENDED ATTACKS ON WHITE AMERICA. HE WILL SURLY LOOSE THE GENERAL ELECTION FOR DEMOCRATS

Both were frightening. Their words and deeds evidence a total lack of understanding of economics, security, and judgment. If they really believe the positions that they publicly espouse, all the worse.
The time has come for Democrats to due the correct thing, abandon their disproven rhetoric, their give-away programs, and to support John McCain.
Is he the ideal candidate? Probably not. Is he, without question the best of the current lot, honest, and possessed of experience and good judgment? Absolutely.
Dear Get out obama,
Your rant is the "poster child" for why we need Obama more than ever..
Hillary Clinton is a phony as a $3 bill!!! She doesn't give a rat's a$$ about the Democratic Party or the people without health care, or anything other than her own BIG FAT A$$!!!!! She's "in it to win it"...and that's the bottom line! She wil say anything, do anything to get elected..I can't believe that these blue collar hard hat guys are gonna vote for this BYATCH! She is so tightly wound and holds it together in public...can you imagine what this raging mass of hormones is like in PRIVATE??????? Do we really want this BITCHY CRANKY GRANDMA with her finger on the nuclear trigger???????????? GET REAL, PEOPLE!!!!!
Obama is cool under fire, calm, reasoned and what better person to deal with race in this country than a half white, half black man??..not to mention how that will improve America in the eyes of the 3rd world...
Honestly, where do you think Hillary gets her money from?? Whitewater anyone? if anything she is just as corrupt as you Obama haters claim Obama to be. Don't even get me started on Bush the 3rd (aka McCain). Special interests control the presidency if he is elected. His entire platform is basically continuing the Bush debacle for another 4+ years
I have never seen anyone survive a triple team until now.
Clearly, supporters of Senator Clinton can only, like the candidate herself, resort to character assassination at this point. And it all comes off, ironically, as so much bitterness. Mrs. Clinton, and her supporters, would not feel so shocked and offended by having to face the future if they hadn't felt so entitled to a continuation of the past... Cheers!
I'm voting for Obama mostly because all the wackos like 'Get out obama" (lengthy comment above) seem to support Hillary. After eight years of Bush and Cheney, I've had enough of extremist wackos.
obama is the one,for this time for america and the world
Obama has clearly won the news community. It's not suprising as they by nature show the same attitudes Obama displayed with his comments in San Francisco. Its not necessarily a bad thing for reporters. They are not in business to be sensitive to feelings. The problem is political leadership differs from good press operations. If they were selecting the Managing Editor, the endorsement might be relevant. The Country needs a leader not a news editor.
I am just one more 'bitter' voter for OBAMA! We need a change and we need it fast!
I truly hope that the traditional hatreds and prejudices, which have plagued our country for far too long, don't make us miss the opportunity to elect a truly great man to the highest office in the land. Obama is flawed, as are we all, but his vision and hope go so far beyond what Hillary and McBush have to offer, that we would only have ourselves to blame if we didn't join him in making this the America we all know it could be. We have a chance for true greatness here. Let's not settle for mediocrity for another eight years.
Gooo OBAMA!!!!!!!
Dear Get Out Obama,
I just donated another $50 to Obama's campaign after reading your comment.
Have a great day!
lol I love people like Get out obama, people read the first couple sententce of that hate filled garbage and realize that they aren't worth listening too and just reignforces the negativity of the campaign. I'm a McCain supporter and I can tell you that the garbage "get out obama" is spouting just hurts his cause. Good Luck Dems hopefully you get all this out of your system for the general, you have the advantage this year but too much negativity will cost you the presidency.
People are tired of the old politics. Hillary and her surrogates
attempts to "Willie Horton" Obama out of the race won't work. Hillary equals more of the same.
CLINTON LIED ABOUT BOSNIA, HER EARLY SUPPORT OF NAFTA AND HER OPPOSITION TO THE INVASION OF IRAQ. SHE IS NOT TRUSTWORTHY AND WILL SAY AND DO ANYTHING TO GET ELECTED. WE NEED SOMEONE WHO IS TRUSTWORTHY AND WILL BRING PEOPLE TOGETHER. THE MAJORITY OF AMERICANS HAVE NEGATIVE FEELINGS TOWARD CLINTON. OBAMA WILL INVOLVE EVERYONE IN LEADING THIS COUNTRY FORWARD. HE IS A UNITER NOT A DIVIDER.
sorry but clinton had the chance to take out osama bin laden and didnt, cant afford that, so you can go to www.youreafuckingidiot.com and post you racist rants there you moron, there is a reason people are backing obama you moron, and its not just in our heads, its not in black peoples heads , its over dude, clinton cant pull it off this time, as a black man i finally have someone legitimate to represent me as a black person, this is history on a galactic scale and i can die happy knowing that i saw a black man take the highest seat in political office , heh in the world for that
Those who can see past the white-wash of the Clinton campaign, including the old school smear tactics, are proud to stand behind a man that obviously has the best policies for change. It's time for fresh ideas and Barack Obama is the best choice by a long shot. We need to get off the surface politics and dive deep into the core of our government were change will happen. Wake up American.........change is coming!
Surrender Dorothy!!!
Nice post Mr. Hannity. Keep beating that drum.
GO OBAMA!
And just a reply to one small comment by someone who has problem with donating to a college fund, here is a tiny bit of a reality check on your comment:
"The Obamas contributed just $6 in 2007 to the federal fund that provides public financing for presidential campaigns in exchange for limits on spending."
Most people contribute "just $6" to this fund by checking a box on their tax returns. This is what public financing is and how it works. If they contributed more it wouldn't be public financing, would it? It would be private financing. I am not sure what kind of rant you feel you are on, but you should check into reality sometimes.
for all that furious typing, commenter #1 is probably still going to end up voting for obama in november
All of Clinton's shrill attacks cannot change the fact that she is a liar and a ruthless corporate stooge.
It seems, the way to vote is the contrary on the way the MEDIA is inducing us. ( the way they want us to vote), THE MEDIA is backing, primarily mc cain, in second place obama!! so the way to vote is !!! Mrs. Clinton!! VOTERS DEMAND OBAMA DROP OUT NOW, WITH ALL THE NEW POLITICAL DAMAGING STUFF COMING FROM HIM AND MICHELLE OBAMA, IN ADDITION TO WRIGHTS CONTINUED OBAMA DEFENDED ATTACKS ON WHITE AMERICA. HE WILL SURLY LOOSE THE GENERAL ELECTION FOR DEMOCRATS
What an unbelievable gang up on our future president. One would have thought that the debate was on FOX News instead of ABC. The moderators were anything but moderate. I was shocked at the tabloid questions. Enough already. Let's move on. The 90's/80's/70's/60's are over. We have real problems. Hurray for Senator Obama. It is very rare for a candidate to stay "above" the politics of the past. The Clinton's /McCain's have SO MUCH he could be talking about, yet he won't because he is about the future while everyone else is stuck in the past.
Obama presents the country with an opportunity to elect a President that fully understands Constitutional policy and law, economic theory and a unique life experience that truly makes him an American.
Contrary to other posts herein, I found Obama's performance last night to be excellent. He withstood a barrage of questions designed and engineered by the Clinton camp to bring him down. Instead, he faced the fire and came away unscathed.
Mr. Obama has my faith, my money and my vote.
Favorite quote of the night (Clinton):
"...I just said some things that weren't in keeping with what I knew to be the case."
I am glad to see your support of Mr. Obama.
Is he the perfect candidate? No. Is there a perfect candidate? No.
I do however feel, based on his voting record and the debates so far, that he has a new and energized approach for America and will take this great nation in a positive and forward direction.
We do not need more of the same old institution (The Clinton's) and their status quo.
I am seriously concerned that should Senator McCain get the presidency, he will involve us in yet another war, Iran.
Watching from Canada I wonder at the system that can produce two, really excellent leaders and how it managaes to savage them in the process.
In Canada we stick to lying cheating and conniving as being the staples of politcal life.
twenty eight years of clintons and bushs seems very very long.
Looking out after my own interest, I cannot support either Democrat presidential candidates. Both have clearly expressed their desire to increase capital gains tax to 20% [Clinton] or higher [Obama]. And furthermore, IMO, both make "promises" that as President, they will unlikely fulfill. Look at all the previous presidential candidates over the last 30 year or more, they all advocate [1] balancing the budget, [2] work toward resolving social security financial shortfalls, [3] work toward providing health care for everyone, etc...None of the presidents achieved these noble goals. Remember the last outsider who showed great promise to tackle these problems? Jimmy Carter....If you remember him then you also recall the days of 20% interest rate for consumers!!
Get Out...I bet you wouldn’t have touched Hillary with a ten foot pole 8 years ago. You’re about nothing more than white is right.
Anyone with a minimum of intelligence can see that Hillary is unelectable and totally disingenuous. Can’t you remember her going on national TV and blaming the right wing for her husbands infidelity of which she was fully cognizant?
Is that really who you want as leader of our country?
I have to hand one thing to the clinton supporters. They are often the first respondants to these stories. Stiill the one I see first today by "Get out obama" is even extreme for the Clinton supporters I see.
Terrorist connections? That's some paranoid stuff. (picture me shaking my head right now).
I am an Obama supporter and I hope the Clinton campaign can stop the race soon. It getting a little bit Naderish, a little Gravel... just a little, but getting there. Obama is the one to win the Whitehouse, but he is also the one who will do the best job. I find this to be a strange coincidence, that doesn't happen very often.
Dave
Obama is clearly a statesman who refuses to get down in the gutter and sling mud with HIlary Clinton. We desperately need him now.
GOBAMA!

It seems Mr. or Ms. #1 spent some time gathering information about Obama. I would love to post information I gathered on Hillary here, but all that information would probably take the Website down.
Hillary is in no way, shape, or form capable of leading this country. Her Kitchen sink tactic is tearing the DNC apart. She can't win at this point. She knows it, her voters refuse to accept it, and the "math" in terms of how far she's behind stares them all in the face. So what's their move? They attack the Obama on anything and everything they can find. Talk about going down with the ship, they want to take the other ship down with theirs! This reminds of a saying that's going around about Hillary:
"If I Can't Have it, Nobody Will!"
First post done by Clintonite who is blinded by reality, please get over yourselves the nomination so to be earned by Borack.
LOL! Listen to the "Bitter" Clinton supporters. Guess they can accept lies easier than a brilliant man telling the truth. See how programmed you elitist Clin-ton-o-lies supporters are programmed. It's time you start supporting your partys choice Barack Oboma! It WAS a good fight but it is time to rally against Old J Mac. and take the White House. We all know defeating McCain will be no problem. Heck, Willie Nelson could beat him.
Obama is the right man! Clintons have joined hands with Neocons who love to hate - who have un-american attitude and claim to love America! Obama inspires like no one has (in a while). Funny thing is - he gets criticized for his faith - the only person to be criticized for being linked to a church/pastor as well as indirect hints at him being a muslim, he gets criticized for reaching out to republicans/conservatives and for being too liberal! He gets criticized for making 4 million by folks who make 107 Million in last 5 years (not counting last years numbers)! Gets criticized for being black and for not being black enough! People who say he is so popular and leading because he is black - continue to add that he wont get elected 'because' he is black! People who lie about sniper fire, people who have taken Chinese/Indian Money from outsourcing companies - criticize him on ethics!
Anyone remembers Hillary's brother and Clintons as a family - who all they have had contacts with and the way Lincoln bedroom was used. Just because these questions are not raised by media doesn't mean they wont come up later on. There is a reason why Rightwing Media wants to run against her - and ABC played right into their hands! ABC - As-if-Broadcasting-for-Clintons!
It just beats any logic - and as Obama said - American people are smarter than that - and we can see through this politics of hate!
Trust me he will make mistakes, now, later and in office as well. He wil face hurdles and problems - more than anyone else - because forces in Washington dont like change - but we will!
We can change - yes we can!
WOW...
that first comment was like every chain email with bended and bad information I have gotten about Obama and then some.
Looks like someone has a hard time judging fact from fiction. What else would you expect from followers of a canidate who not only spreads lies about the opponent, and gives fodder for the other party to use for even thier own ads but also lies about her own past.
I can understand that "misspeak" thing probably once but she has told that story more than one time, yet she blames it on being "tired". If it is 2:30 in the morning and everyone is sleeping and the phone rings wouldn't she be tired? If she answers that phone what is she going to do? Make up more stories and screw up the country even more than bush has.
Dear Hillary,
Please stop posting long and irrelevant messages (Comment 1) that no one agrees with. Your boy's at ABC (Charlie Gibson and George Stephanopoulos) did not come through with what you would have hoped as a slammed dunk debate.
That's right ABC.... I will vote for the candidate that wears the biggest American "PIN" as possible, because that is more important than HEALTH CARE REFORM !!
I think Obama did a fine job in the debate last night. He was able to rise above the petty defensive questions that were asked of him. He was able to address some of the important issues about the war, the economy, taxes and health care. I really appreciate his honesty and thoughfulness.
Obviously, "Get out obama" wasn't actually watching the debate last night but was instead composing his/her tirade.
The endorsements from the Philadelphia Daily News, PIttsburgh Post-Gazette, and Scranton and Allentown's newspapers are significant... at least as significant as last night's debate.
Clinton's performance last night has not changed her campaign's trajectory. Obama will win the nomination because he has more votes, more delegates, and more states won. It also seems just a matter of time before he leads in superdelegates too. He now leads among superdelegates who are elected officials.
Wow, after seeing last nights Debate, Barack Obama was stronger than I expected. It took a one sided debate from ABC to open my eyes, that he is a true leader. I was going to vote for Clinton, but now, I see more leadership qualities in him.
Get Out...I bet you wouldn’t have touched Hillary with a ten foot pole 8 years ago. You’re about nothing more than white is right.

Is that really who you want as leader of our country?
Clearly, the pundits on MSNBC this morning were watching a different debate than the one my friends and I saw. It is obviously to their advantage to keep the Democratic wrangling going for as long as possible to keep their ratings up. However, with one exception, the near-unanimous reaction of those I have spoken to was that Obama was convincingly stronger in the debate. By convincing, I mean honest. By stronger, I mean able to defend himself without being defensive. And that can't have been easy, given the clearly slanted questioning (in Clinton's favor) of both moderators (a term I would dispute when it comes to balanced questions).
Pennsylvania voters....I am going to say what I hope most voters are thinking...all eyes are upon you. Your vote on April 22 may change the world. It will definitely be an opportunity to shape history. I'm from Ohio. I voted and supported Obama. I feel I let him down. Please, please....I'm sensing an upset looming.....Let your voices be heard loudly......VOTE OBAMA! Vote for a chance for world peace and reconciliation
Bravo, Philadelphia Daily News. Presumably, Mrs Clinton would not bat around these distracting but inconsequential quibbles about Mr Obama's past relationships if she were not competing against him. But she is so ambitious and so arrogant in her expectation that she be anointed president that she doesn't care a fig about the potential consequences of continuing to impugn Mr Obama's character. While Mr Obama has brought numerous new voters into the politcal debate, and elevated that discussion, Mrs Clinton is doing all she can to debase political discourse and turn those new voters away. I voted for her once, when I resided in New York. I will not vote for her again. I do realize an important issue in the Democratic primary race involves character, however; Mrs Clinton has made it plain that she lacks it.
Please, please, won't somebody prevail upon them to give each other a big hug, flip a coin, and decide who gets to be President first? 16 years of them both sounds like a dream come true. Imagine, 16 years before the next war!
No matter what you say, you won't have any effect on people's choices because you sound like a politician and I am tired of them. the same old crap all the time. Do you think you can fool me? Not anymore. The crap you are talking about work on ignorant Americans. America has come a long way, we are smarter now.
You hate Obama, that's why you wrote such a long hateful review about him, that's your mistake big man.Anyone reading your post will want to cheering for Obama even more. I will quote the Outlaw Josie Wales: "Don't piss on my back and tell me it's raining".
It's refreshing to have yet another PA newspaper, the Daily News, calmly and methodicaly go over what is really important and what really matters as far as the future of America is concerned, and come to the same conclusion most Americans with even a semblence of inteligence has. Good for you!
Shame on ABC. It was obvious to me that both moderators were Clinton supporters. It was no doubt a setup. At the end of the debate I thought that both moderators were going to be beaten-up. Charles Gibson had that flustered look on his face. People in the audiance did not like the way he and his colleague handled the debate.
To the first commentator: Wow, you must really hate Obama. A small piece of advice for you: if you want to be taken seriously as an intelligent adult, you should give a more rational argument with proven facts (known as premises to an argument), as oppossed to running off a list of slanted, smeared accusations. Also, "loose" is defined as "not securely attached; free from a state of confinement." Alternatively, "lose" is defined as "not winning."
I am an undecided voter right now and commentary like yours inspires more disdain for your chosen candidate than turning me off to your target. Sen. Obama.
Re: Get Out Obama
"Obama has a dual citizenship with Kenya Al-Qaeda chief Osama bin Laden would be praying for an Obama victory because it would help the militants win in Iraq. Citizen Wells 3/08"
Please. That you would repeat this undermines your credibility and is an affront to my intelligence.
poster 1, get your own newspaper and then I won't have to read it. I.E. keep your comments proportional to the story.
Thank God the American people are finally waking up. Obama 08.
Clinton is just wrong no matter how you slice it. Total CFR scum. Obama is nothing to me other than a wild hope against two other candidates who find that is it easier to start wars and focus on foreign policy than to fix the problems here at home.
Voting for McCain or Clinton is like voting for Bush's third term.
Boy, the Clinton campaign must really be getting desperate if they're actively seeking out online articles to copy-paste garbage into as soon as they're published.
It's encouraging the Philadelphia Daily News was quick to distance itself from the ridiculous ABC debate last night by endorsing Senator Obama.
Americans are facing serious issues and our leaders need to focus on reversing the past decade of Washington inaction and misdirection. We don't have time for more of the same political/tabloid nonsense.
We need to come together today. Much less hate and anger. The post by "Get out Obama" sounds full of hate and anger. The intelligent people of the United States
can see right through you.
Clearly, the pundits on MSNBC this morning were watching a different debate than the one my friends and I saw. It is obviously to their advantage to keep the Democratic wrangling going for as long as possible to keep their ratings up. However, with one exception, the near-unanimous reaction of those I have spoken to was that Obama was convincingly stronger in the debate. By convincing, I mean honest. By stronger, I mean able to defend himself without being defensive. And that can't have been easy, given the clearly slanted questioning (in Clinton's favor) of both moderators (a term I would dispute when it comes to balanced questions).
Quit yelling, quit being a shrill, rumor-mongering jerk. People like you are destroying our party. Hillary is yesterday's news. Her terrible campaign is an indication of how terrible her presidency would be. The people you pick says a lot about your character--Hillary picked Mark Penn.
It seems clear to me that Senator Clinton will do anything and say anthing to win the election, and that is exactly what we have been getting from President Bush and the repubilicans. I for one am voting for change, and that means Barack Obama. We need to go in a different direction, not the same old way we have always gone.
We don't need devisive nastiness, we need unity and cooperation in order to solve the real problems that we as a country all face. And to me that adds up to Obama.
The Baby-Boomers chose to repeat history rather than change history.
We know what they have delivered on -- another war (Iraq), gas prices near $4 per gallon, stay the course with fossil fuels, even though they have known for 30 years where it would take us, a hindering of stem cell research, a national government that prefers to bicker - rather than accomplish, higher costs for education, NAFTA - which sent many jobs to places outside our country, and, still, no health insurance for all Americans, just to name a few.
Like JFK, once, said, "it is time to pass the torch from one generation to another."
Obama is the new generation, with 21st Century ideas, vision, and hope.
Someone Please find "Get out Obama's" (posting#1) medication, or maybe it's just one of the "journalists" on Clinton's payroll.
I was supporting Obama although I am embarrassed to admit it now. He is clearly not who he pretends to be at these speaches and debates. It becomes very clear in debates when we see Hillary Clinton responding in detail while Obama pretty much agrees with her on most issues because his plans are copies of her plans with small changes. Like the health care plans...Hillary's is the only way universal health care will work at reasonable pricing while Obama when coping her plan and eliminating 15 million people to save money forgot to consider the fact that the more people in the plan the less per person the plan will cost. Hilllary offers the same plan the senators have while it is still unclear what plan Obama is offering. I began looking at what Obama was offering after the Rev. Wright sermons came out and I for one will never understand how a parent allows his daughters to be bainwashed by pure hatred. I understand why the Rev. has such hate but would never expose my children to such biased hatred. This is why the whites got over it and the some blacks never did.......they were being brainwashed in church.
I live in MA and would not purchase a paper that endorsed Obama. I will also never again vote for Kennedy, Kerry or Gov. Duval since they endorsed Obama and refused to change their superdeligate votes even after this state voted overwhelmingly for Hillary Clinton. Obama will never win the general election because he can not even carry MA as this state will vote McCain over Obama. Don't forget that although MA is a democratic state we have elected Republican Mitt Romney for Gov. in the past. ....Don't get me started on CA because Obama has no chance of beating McCain there....hispanic vote would go to Hillary or McCain but never to Obama even if Gov. Richardson is VP.
Wow, "Get out Obama" (GOO) have a day-job do you? If anyone wants to read why the Democrats need someone to lead this country in a new direction (notice that I didn't put any of these in caps, GOO) rather than follow the failed Republican (and now Clintonian) political games, please read GOO's main talking points post. Any notion of the economic hardships facing Americans? Nope. Any notion that scores of our best and brightest are dying to bail out Bush's foolish foreign policy? Nope. Health care? Trade? The Environment? Nope-nope-nope. If you're all for screaming about racism, flag pins, "monkeys" and other hogwash, vote with GOO in '08!
Senator Clinton should remain senator. Her and Bill make so much more money than the Obama's. To me , Obama brings a new fresh light to leadership.
Did anyone notice how Senator Clinton dropped her glace downward as she thrust and twisted her knife-like attacks into Senator Obama at last night's debate? Her petty, negative and desparate jabs were almost perceptively accompanied by a guilty inability to face either the questioners or Senator Obama. Such foul and transparent disingenuousness!
The abhorrent and vituperative swill from "Get out obama" appears to be well resourced. I wonder from where this compilation of Rovian, Clintonian, RNC, Ditto-head, or Goebbels-like propaganda is financed?
This is a note from a retired career military man (who has never blogged a word before) hoping that reasonable voters, voting their own personal economic and cultural interests, as well as concern for America's best national defense interests, join me in voting for this well-reasoned and inspiring leader, the junior Senator from Illinois!
Hillary clinton sux. she is a say anything to win candidate. obama holds the moral high ground by not stooping to her tactics that people all over see as a tired, time worn way of conducting politics. She's a liar too. Obama will bring together more people just like he has during his campaign. I hope he does not take public money like mccain will. who cares if he changes his mind on this issue. Obama in "08. I am an independant btw and would have went with Huckabee.......
Due to the diatribes & lies Ms. Clinton and her supporters continue to direct at Senator Obama, I will not support her should she become the Democratic nominee. I will cast my vote for John McCain, I loathe Mr. McCain, but I will vote for him as my was to punish this country should it make the mistake of nominating Clinton.
You come off as VERY racist and quite uneducated, #1.
Do your homework next time and keep your warped views to yourself.
You have confirmed, "get out" that you are indeed stupid.
You can only check of $3 for the Pres. fund, perhaps if you don't file taxes you dont know this.
And, Obama was asked, idiotically about flag lapel pins, and the Pledge thing was false (he was singing the national anthem - few if any place hands on heart during the national anthem). Quit furthering Rush Limbaugh talking points you fool.
can the media and the folks on here just relax...obama "is" the only candidate that anyone, you, me, your neighbor want to see elected, not only as the democratic candidate, but the president.....he's competing not just for the 2008 election but also against all the presidencies that have yet to come and that have been, meanwhile we are still clinging our hopes to a failed system (clinton, mccain), why we americans have to be so stubborn I will never understand, why can't we just admit that a "non-white" person is the most qualified president since JFK. Period. If clinton was another JFK, she would have been declared the nominee and the winner of the white house by now. She isn't and Obama is, yet he not only has to compete against our biases but also against the media circus which benefits from prolonging this debate till its gone to mccain.
Oh STOP, "Get out obama". You'll *cling* to any rumor, urban myth or the most obviously concocted "evidence" to justify your hatred for Obama. Somebody he knows said something obnoxious which, in your mind, is the same thing as Obama saying it. I sincerely hope that YOU YOURSELF are JUDGED just as severely. I hope you are judged by every bonehead remark you ever made. I hope you are judged by every boneheaded remark made by any friend, relative, or distant acquaintance and tarred with that brush. I hope you are denied a job because your wife, your minister, your cousin, or some co-worker said something that offends some people (even if it's true). That's exactly what "judge not lest ye be judged" means. It means YOU will be judged by EXACTLY THE SAME STANDARDS by which you judge others.
And by the way, I hope you like four more years of war in Iraq, a war with Iran, a failed war in Afghanistan, more tax cuts for corporations that ship jobs overseas, spiralling health care costs, more unemployment and more poverty, because THAT is what you're going to get if Clinton finagles the nomination because McCain will win and McCain will simply add four more years of misery to the devastation caused by Bush.
go foward Obama, i tink you' ll be a good candidate, for say no more republican here, no more war, peace, for this country.
Stop war , lives in harmony, is the message that the ameriam e immigrant want in america.
If Obama can beat Clinton he can certainly beat patch-face, who authored a bill to march Native Americans from their land in 2000 like he still lives in the Civil War days
You vote for the war...Bye bye Hillary....
During the past week, Sen. Hillary Clinton has presented herself as a working class populist, the politician in touch with small town sentiments, compared to the elitism of her opponent, Sen. Barack Obama.
But a telling anecdote from her husband's administration shows Hillary Clinton's attitudes about the "lunch-bucket Democrats" are not exactly pristine.
In January 1995, as the Clintons were licking their wounds from the 1994 congressional elections, a debate emerged at a retreat at Camp David. Should the administration make overtures to working class white southerners who had all but forsaken the Democratic Party? The then-first lady took a less than inclusive approach.
"Screw 'em," she told her husband. "You don't owe them a thing, Bill. They're doing nothing for you; you don't have to do anything for them."
You are presidential material. You are the next PRESIDENT. The witch is going down, way down under. This thing could/should have ended a long time ago.
GO OBAMAA 08
Anyone who types in all capital letters either has a stuck caps lock key or has a screw loose, and I don't mean on the keyboard.
The ‘debate’ was a set-up to incriminate, expose and assassinate Barack Obama’s character. This attack was aimed at the super delegates and also the public. Did Charles & George really think that we the people are so stupid we would not see through the propaganda?
ABC brought forward the Wright story and now they are pushing Ayers story. George & Charles were basically trying to paint Obama ‘guilty by association.’ If this is the case then as Obama pointed out Hillary Clinton should just drop out of the race as Bill had pardoned 2 members of the infamous Ayers organization. I did not hear George or Charles make one comment about this they let it drop because Obama had made a strong valid point.
Ironically no one questioned why a former Clinton staffer and supporter was part of this debate. It stands to reason that in all ‘fairness’ an Obama staffer should have been part of the commentator panel also. This ‘debate’ was extremely biased, prejudiced against Obama and lenient for Clinton. Those may seem like harsh words ‘biased, prejudiced and lenient’ but they are the truth. As a voter I was disgusted with the gusto and glee with which George, Charles and Hillary verbally attacked Obama. It was sad and it made me feel like I was watching a 21st century modern main stream lynching.
To be clear on this – I don’t have a problem with the questions that were posed. I have a problem with how Obama was targeted in this debate. Hillary should have just sat at the panel desk with George and Charles. This is why George and Charles were booed after this debate was finished. It was a prejudiced panel and the commentators were unethical, unfair and unprofessional. I think we now have
a new political term “Clinton Pundits” aka extreme Clinton left wingers.
Last night was an ambush.
go foward Obama, i tink you' ll be a good candidate, for say no more republican here, no more war, peace, for this country.
Stop war , lives in harmony, is the message that the ameriam and immigrant want in america.
It's time to move on - Obama was a breath fresh air, maintaining dignity in the face of this very bitter Hillary assault.
It amazes me how little McCain has to say or do, while Hillary does all the negative hit work. Such scorched earth tactics are appalling… not appealing.
I was supporter of the Clintons from the beginning but they have turned too negative and too much negatives do not bring out any good. So I am voting for Obama now!

Last night was an ambush.
It was wonderful seeing Mrs Clinton bury herself last night. She continued to throw jabs, but they later manifested into inept attempts, and eventually backfired into her face. First one being her jab at pastor Wright, which turns out Clinton's own pastor endorses him. Second one being Ayers, when Bill Clinton pardoned two people associated with similar situations. Third was her supposed no capital gains hike, then he busted her out when she left the interview and IMMEDIATELY said the opposite and was recorded. She of course had nothing to say about that, and tried to switch the subject. She looked like a fool when asked about her military strategy. Her response was, no matter what the generals are saying on the ground in combat, you would undermine them and pull out the war....
At first it looked like Obama was disturbed, but after watching his strategy last night, he looked like the more positive and experienced candidate. He answered all the questions first, while Clinton piggy backed on all his answers, and sampled and looped his answers making her self seem more intellgent; even to the point that when he said he didn't know the facts on the gun cases in Washington, her answer was exactly the same, but reworded. She spent most of her time trying to throw meaningless barbs, and she came off looking desperate, while Obama tried to stick to the topics of what the Americans want.....answers!
The answer he gave about wearing the American pin was the best I heard soo far. He is absolutely correct, a pin across your chest does not make you the most patriotic or qualified candidate. This is the manafactured politics that this country has come to. You can wear five flags on your chest and still erase our 3 trillion dollar surplus down to 9 trillion in debt (thank you Bush). This is proven itself to be a more unpatriotic act than anything cosmetic that people are nitpicking at. Especially when after Bush leaves office, he'll be even more wealthy, but the american people can't even afford to drive to work.
Cliton's approach has proven to be the exact reason why she is untrustworthy and unlikeable. He continues barbs at republicans shows why republicans, no matter how much Bush has screwed up, or they don't like Mc Cain, will never vote for her. Her jabs should have been exclusively for Bush, not republicans. She won't beat Mc Cain...she is hated by too many, and her likes are enough to win. The superdelegates are finally making their decisions, Obama has gained more. She should just move out the way at this point. If she was winning, she would be crying Obama is killing the party's chances. She knows her only reason for continuing is to make sure Obama goes into the general election as wounded as possible, so he loses, and she can run in four years....
The American people wake up!!
Let's bring on Mc Cain AND Obama....these are the most highly two candidates, and most liked....
Looking at things from overseas, I'd say you guys dont need more of the same.I think you can do better that the bush/clinton monarchy.Things really need a shake out, and you can solve every problem with force.
All you need in a president is an honourable and intellegant person who can get a good team together, and avoid extreme views . It would help if that person was ethical.
easy.....
It is sad to see the vitriolic negative comments about Obama. This campaign is already too negative. Hilary supporters seem more than ready to let Bill back in the White House even though his ethical conduct caused him to stand for impeachment hearings. Why go back when there is an opportunity to move forward.
sorry - error
you can't solve every problem with force!
Barack nailed it again last night, proving that he is the superior candidate in every respect. Eloquent and inspirational. America needs him to help us heal from the disasterous Bush years. Clinton and McCain are the past. Obama -- he au courant!!
no way do we want 4 years of Billary fighting with the right wing of the republican party. All she wants to do is fight fight fight with everyone and for everyone.
It is time that we have a cool collected president that sees beyond his ambitions and acts for the good of all Americans and the World.
The sight of Hiilary guzzling beer and votka is revolting. What example is that for the young people of America. She has brought campaigning to a new low with that
imagine on our tv screens. Has she no shame? No all she wants to do is destroy the democratic party to serve her needs and her husbands needs -POWER!
ENOUGH ALREADY PLEASE!
To the poster "Got out obama" -- You demonstrate to me throughout your post the kind of politics that the Philadelphia Daily News is saying is no longer the way to confront our challenges. Thus, you reinforce (in full public view) the wisdom of their choice. As for Michigan, I am a Michigan voter, and I am quite familiar with the politics that led to our disallowed Michigan primary, the efforts to develop an alternative, and the behind-the-scenes maneuvers of the campaigns. You either do not know, or are not willing to admit, the true roles of Sen. Levin, Debbie Dingell, party chair Mark Brewer, and others. To lay the blame for our debacle on Obama may seem appropriate in a simple view, but I'm sorry, the hard politics are far more complicated. The bootprints of Sen. Clinton and her supporters in the hierarchy of the Michigan Democratic Party establishment are everywhere. They, too, starkly illustrate the difference in politics that is at issue in this campaign. "Not this time."
