AMERICA deserves to know the truth about the relationship between Barack Hussein Obama and Tony Rezko the indicted fund-raiser.

There are over 200 news articles on the Tony Rezko case/trial that are located at:
http://www.suntimes.com THEN, do a search.....REZKO....and all the news articles will appear.

~~SUPERDELEGATES need to do lots of soul searching and do the right thing for America and SWITCH their ENDORSEMENT TO HILLARY RODHAM CLINTON.

~~SUPERDELEGATES --- Hillary Rodham Clinton is the candidate that will win the Democratic Presidential WIN for America.
GO HILLARY!!!
GO ALL THE WAY TO THE CONVENTION!!!
GO ALL THE WAY TO THE WHITE HOUSE!!!
GO HILLARY!!!!

America and most Americans will not be blindfolded by superdelegates that flee to Obama for their own interests and not for the nations interest as a whole.Obama is use as a scapegoat for some self serving politician who do not deserve the trust of most Americans.I strongly believe Hilliary Clinton is ready to lead not by accident but by experience and let us not as American undermine her strength as a leader.

Oh, please! Give it a rest! You don't want me to get started on the baggage of Hillary Clinton! Believe me, if it was something to the Rezco deal, it would have been out the bag by now. Just like Sen. Obama said, they are digging through his kindergarten papers right now! Face it. Sen. Obama is the best candidate who beat Billery fair and square! I know its a slap in the face to her and her supporters that he would be able to do this, but it has been done. And for you to use his middle name like its some kind of disease, says something about you, you racist pig! America is not just for White Americans, it is for All Americans. We are a melting pot and I know some of you would rather slash your wrists then to have a black man become president of the United States. But all I can to you is, you might as well get to slashing, cause Sen. Obama is going to be our next President! It's a new day!

Blondshag and skmj are like a lot of Hillary supporters. Let's get realistic here. If Hillary hadn't jumped in to the presidential race you would have supported Obama from the beginning. I am an Obama supporter and I love Hillary. I would have supported her had I not been a fan of Obama since reading his books. GET A GRIP! It's time to support our candidate and get rid of this Republican cloud that has been hanging over our heads since '00. Stop with the beating up of the other candidate. No matter who it is. I think both of them are high quality candidates that we haven't had in a LONG time. Stop the intraparty bickering and be happy we don't have another "I voted for it before I voted against it" nominee.

just stop all the mess, and see what the end is going too be like you act as if you are running,for office!!!!!

Blondshag wake up............The party is over..........really over. Its Obama time and nothing can change that, nothing.

It is clear that Obama is the better candidate for the presidency and America is proving it. The only way Hilary is staying in the race is by convincing people not to vote for a black person, damaging his reputaiton and then pretending not to be doing it. Hilary should stop screwing with this election and allowi Obama to start preparing for November. It is over!

I can appreciate one's passion for a particular candidate...but to imply that Barack Obama's candidacy is accidental is ridiculous. He is winning by every possible metric: popular vote, more states, more pledged delegates, and more money. Most of his contributions come from individual donors in amounts under $200. Check his campaign finances, info is readily available. To somehow deny this reality, and insist the nomination somehow be gifted to Clinton is an insult to all the Americans who have exercised their constitutional right to vote their conscience.

Perhaps Hillary will argue that she avoided sniper fire in order to fight for a gas tax holiday that will clearly save us from our dependency on foreign oil.

people,are so furious about hillary,that they will say and do anything for her,but i tell you this the lord is on both of their side's and he know's what's best for the united state's of america,so just keep pray ing for all the parties in the race !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!obama08.

What part of It's Over doesn't Hillary Understand?!!!!

Hillary It's Over!...... Do you hear me now?!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I support Hillary's choice to campaign through all the primaries, we've gone this long, why not allow all the voters to have a say. However, the way that Hillary has behaved recently shows that she cares little about the voters (pandering with a gas tax holiday, saying whites won't vote for Obama) and a great deal about herself. Mathmatically, she's two options before her, neither of them good for the party, which are:

1) Convince the SD's to give her the nomination even though she hasn't the delegates to warrant it; or

2) Damage her own party's candidate so badly as to throw the party under the bus in November.

It appears she intends to do both. IMO, under no conditions should Sen Obama offer her the VP spot . In fact, the longer she behaves in such a negative fashion, I see no reason why he should offer to bail her out of her campaign debt either.

BTW, should she somehow manage to steal the nomination, I think she will find that there are a great many of Non-African Americans who won't vote for her.

It's simply over. They moved the goal posts so many times. He's met all metrics. At this point Hillary is just preventing Obama from facing McCain. She wants to run in 2012. But guess what Hillary we don't have short memories. I will not vote for you ever if you spoil this and you started yesterday with those comments.

Someone show me the qualifications and leadership experience Obama has to lead a country like the US. He would make a great leader I am sure but makes him more qualified than a former first lady?

He's a risk IMO. In business leaders don't takes those types of risks so why are we risking this country once again?

Billary is in denial. She's like a person laid off and she still wants to work for that company. Finally security will escort that person out the door. Do the do the democratic party a favor and stop the bloodshed. Get behind Obama now!

Sadly, it is pretty clear why Clinton is willing to risk dividing the Democratic party and undermining its chances of victory in November. A McCain presidency gives her another chance in 4 more years. An Obama victory will be the decisive end of the Clinton era. Bottom line, I will vote for her in November if she succeeds in persuading super delegates to ignore the will of the voters, but only because McCain would be such an unmitigated disaster. But there are two things I'm getting tired of:

1. Voting AGAINST the candidate I fear, rather than FOR a candidate I truly support

2. Having our politicians "appointed" by those in power (whether super delegates in 2008, or the Supreme Court in 2000), rather than elected by the voters

These clinton( small c) supporters crack me up.Obama has run a great ,uplifting campaign and the country is just in the mood for a change in the way politics has been conducted.So stop crying about who is the better candidate and face reality, most Americans have spoken and the answer they gave is Obama.

OK so its finally over... enough of the racism, sexism, elitism... we ALL are here in this country by the passage of our grandparents and great grandparents and unless your REAL last name and first name is RUNNING CLOUD or DANCING DEER or anything native American, we are all BLESSED to live HERE today because of their sacrifice and toil.....I will vote for ANYONE who can think and act as a LEADER. We have had presidents with wooden teeth, on crutches, in wheelchairs, nearly blind and until the disgraceful Bill CLinton who we as a society still adore cause he got to fulfill a fantasy we all secretly have had, or the lame excuse of a president George W. we have been lead by honorable men for the most part. We have maintained a decent standard of living... Don't tell me you don't feel excitement for the first time in a long time with regards to electing a president.... if you aren't then you're probably dead :)

The best thing a Hillary supporter can do is begin to get used to the idea that their candidate isn't going to win the nomination. I too support the idea of Hillary finishing the rest of the primaries, I mean we've come so far there's no reason to drop out now. But, we've GOT TO STOP THE VENOMOUS NEGATIVITY, and I direct that comment at both the candidates and their supporters.

Ideologically Clinton and Obama are 99% the same. And you can bet that with Obama as president, Clinton will be able to do a lot of good as a senator. With McCain as president, both will be ineffective and it'll be another four years of gridlock as we watch our nation fall into the third world.

Question for Ms. Clinton - does one have to be white to be "hard working"?

I voted for Ms. Clinton in the Mass primary, but in recent weeks I've come to regret that vote. The utter viciousness of her attacks on Obama are unforgiveable.

You can want to win too much. You can want to win so badly that you will say anything and do anything to reach that goal. Ms. Clinton wants to win so badly that in the past few months it has become an selfish obsession.

I can't undo my vote on Super Tuesday, but I can say to Ms. Clinton "Your time has passed. End this madness."

Jim,

What makes a former first lady any more qualified than Barack? Is hosting a tea party in the rose garden or welcoming the national spelling bee champ in the rotunda actually the training needed to lead the US? If anything, they both have equally as little experience as the other. That didn't stop Washington or Lincoln or Kennedy or Carter.

Another question for Mrs. Clinton- does one have to be blue collar to be "hard working"?

Mrs. Clinton will not quit until she has destroyed Obama's chances this November. Watch as she now stirs the racist pot, in W. Virginia and elsewhere, repeating that it is impossible for a black man to win white Americans' votes. Instead of appealing to the country's better angels and working for the historical importance for us as a nation to turn the page toward a more perfect union, Hillary is demonizing the entire nation and smearing all of us, especially white Americans, by saying that white Americans will not vote for a black candidate. This is a blatant lie, as proven in Obama's victories in Iowa, Wisconsin, and all across the nation. It is way beyond time for the Democratic Party elders to STOP this madness before she destroys the party, the republic and all our best hopes for the future. No deluded, vicious, power-crazed politician should be given a free pass, even if her name is Clinton and she believes she is entitled to dynastic keys to the White House.

Hillary is the best republican candidate in the field. Her record in the US Senate is even to the right of MaCaine..

She is very bright, but she has more nerve than brains. How does this woman who has been thoroughly vetted (her word) and found to be totally lacking in integrity dare to presume that she should be chosen to lead this wonderful (albeit imperfect) country? And how have we let her come so close to achieving her grandiosely narcissistic goal? Superdelegates, put an end to this nonsense now!

How ugly to find out that Hillary is actually a racist or doesn't mind sounding like one. I'm a white, hard-working woman in the mostly white, rural state of Maine—and I've supported Obama from the start and so has my state (but then again I went to college, so I guess I'm too smart for the Clintons and Maine is a small state, so we don't really count). Get real Hillary supporters! You ALL know you would be supporting Obama if he'd run in a later race. HIllary and Bill would, too. Why do you allow yourselves to be played down to in this way? Why do you let her insult your integrity and your intelligence? I can only say THANK YOU to Senator Obama for putting himself out there in this way. As for Hillary, stop embarassing yourself and your country. First Bush, then you. We've had enough.

At this stage, Hillary Clinton must know she can't possibly become the nominee any longer. Therefore she can only be interested in pitched battle to the end so her dispirited voters become an argument to ask for the VP candidacy (so her voters won't stay at home or vote for McCain in sizeable numbers).

I hope she isn't given that chance in the end. Edwards would be a much better choice. Clinton would distort the whole thing.

Someone needs to explain why in a Democracy, a party gets to choose by use of the superdelegates who is their party's nominee. The nominee is not being chosen by the people of the United States but by some party hacks who may or may not go with the majority of the voters. Sounds almost Socialist to me.

Obama will be the next President of the USA. All you need to do is vote him, and support his campaign. We are so lucky this man has arrived, at long last. Not just one of those you get a chance to see in office say a couple of times every century, but one arriving so providentially, when the world can't wait any longer for a CHANGE!

I have been a lifelong Democrat. I like many people I know will vote for Hillary against McCain, or McCain against Obama. I hate the thought of voting Republican, but Obama lacks experience and character. Had the DNC used the "Winner Take All" in the primaries, Hillary would be there now. Obama has won no major states. He is not the answer.

Obama is toast; racist toast.

I'm white, and I'm sick of all this racist crap! Hillary is attempting to divide this country while Barack is doing his absolute best to bring us together. I don't have a racist bone in my body, and I still find it hard to fathom the lack of intellect it must take for someone to judge someone based on their skin tone. It angers me that Hillary can say the things she has lately, and doesn't believe that she is being more divisive than a Rev. Wright could be. Wright is out of touch, Hillary is an elitest, and John McMain, well that man is just crazy. I hope the people of this great country can stop the insanity and vote for a candidate that can lead us toward a brighter future.. that candidate being Barry Obama!

I am thoroughly dismayed at all you Obama supporters. You believe his fancy speeches, why? Because he SAYS so? Come on! He is a politician like all the rest.
Would a company hire a CEO with absolutely no experience? Yet all of you are ready to hire him for the most important job in the world?
I suppose you all support the World Poverty Act that he sponsered as well? Rather than donating to third world countries, you want his act to become law? Then a percentage of our GNP HAS to provide welfare to the rest of the world? You and I will have to bear that burden, rather than giving what each of us can afford when we can help. That's just the rest of the world...he will then require that we continue to provide welfare to everyone in the US as well.
Why can't you see beyond his fancy speeches?
Why did you allow yourselves to be brainwashed by his media block?

Hillary Clinton supporters take heart. The harsh attacks this week by the media and Obama supporters in their attempts to force the first viable female candidate for the presidency out of the race will not succeed. We will continue to send our prayers, goodwill, and financial support to Hillary’s campaign to assure that in keeping with the principles of democracy, all who are eligible will have the opportunity to vote in the Democratic primary.

With our efforts, the spirit of democracy in our country, like the earth itself, will also find renewal this spring.

Sen. Barack Obama will be the next
President of the United States of America.

I am voter: stephanie and I aprove this message

I can understand Hillary staying the is RACE! She needs her money back. But seriously we need to stop posting negatives about Obama who I believe will be the nominee 08. People are ready for a change and to use this excuse of his experience...Well none of the nominees has experience at running a country,then him being blk not being able to get white votes is just something that the Clintons and supporters are using because I don't see the since in any democratic not supporting Obama and voting for McCain, were is the logic in that. And those that say if Hillary isn't the nominee that are going to not vote and going to stay home then get ready for 4 more years of War, more foreclosures,higher taxes,higher unemployement,higher gas prices,and groceries pricing the average american will struggle to feed their families. Lets stop being silly and support whichever Democratic Candidate is nominated.

Obama doesn't bash HIllary because he has his wife and the MSM doing it for him. He is a fake and people will see him for what he is in good time and then it will be to late.

cliton only care for the white so she must loose
