RNC shows fellow Democrats hitting Obama

Thanks Hillary....for putting your party's presidential candidate in harms way. I presume in your world it is either you or no-one-else.

We do not need the old ligarch's experience. This country needs a clean slate.
How much experience do you need to be honest and honorable?
NOt the Clinton's expereience, that's for sure. They do have enough experience dishonesty.

I am also somewhat frustrated by the negativity of the democratic campaign hurting Obama now. However, the idea that Republicans will listen to Hillary, Bill, and Edwards about anything is kind of ironic and rather funny. If I was a republican would I agree with a Clinton even when the Clinton was questioning the Democratic candidate? Could God make a rock so heavy that even he could not lift it?

This woman has absolutely no class. Her disgraceful attacks during this campaign shows these (Hill & Bill) power hungry hacks for who they truly are. I surely understand the feelings of the republicans in the 90's.

hillary, you showed us what kind of president you would be, and america said "no freakin way".... well the america with college degrees that is........

Trash him before he hurts us irrevocably..

sorry people... TRUTH hurts..

..and it has only started..

...if the Clintons (which O has based his total political base upon..spun by an Axelrod/P&G/ACORN -style) hurt the big O...

then think..

how will it play in the G.E.?

I am a New Republican at 64

Thanks Hillary!

You continue to push yourself, and to tear-down everyone else......including, the Democratic party, this country.........you simply don't care.....because, you only care about yourself. I am so relieved that you will not be president, and I do not want you in position to take that office if something happens to Obama, i.e. I do NOT want you as Vice President........ever!

Hillary comes across as a spoiled little brat. "If I can't have it, you can't either". I'm glad she lost out to Obama. Could you imagine her in the White House? I hope he is smart enough to choose someone else as his running mate - he'd have to keep looking over his shoulder to see what she's doing. Fine way to run a country.

KVB, you are obviously one of those obamaites, totally unaware of the nuance of political elections processes but having become fully inebriated by the kool-aid. Don't you suppose that if Senator Clinton was the alleged nominee the RNC would have launched the same campaign against her? Or is your "woe is me, I'm just a loong-afflicted minority" attidude blinding you to reality? Come November one fo two thing is going to happen 1) your world will come crashing down or 2) our country as a Nation will for all intents and purposes cease to exist.

Thanks to H. Dean, N. Pelosi, H. Reid and the rest of the DNP elite for creating, then unleashing the monster.

I can't understand this obsession over the "commander in chief" title.

When did we become a military state? Or when did we become such an aggressive people that the most important task our president has to do is command the armed forces?

Sure, it's important -- but ultimately what does any president know about military tactics etc.? They literally have no option but to listen to the Chiefs of Staff and the Joint Chief. Bush failed to do that. McCain doesn't appear willing to listen either.

Yeah, you knew that was coming....the minute I heard Hillary say that, I knew it would be a soundbite

I think blacks are thinking that way. Hillary didn't do that. Today his pal Rezko got indicted for money laundering, I guess that's Hillary's fault. I understand you feeling because Hillary felt the same when Democrat leaders stole the nomination from her.

FEAR that is all that the Republicans have to offer.
Like any dictator or madman how do you control people, with fear.

Remember Bill Clinton was just the gov of Arkansas.

Do be afraid of the man with a vision for the future

OBAMA!!

Fitting isn't it? The harder Hillary works at destroying Obama, the more it becomes clear. The only thing Hillary has destroyed is her chances of ever becoming president. The "angry white women Clinton crowd" have got to face one fact. Find a new woman candidate, the democratic party will never support Clinton in sufficient numbers in the future. She better be true to her word and do everything she can to support Obama. Otherwise she will forever be linked to the losing of an election that by all accounts, was tailored for the Democrats. Just an observation on my part, not a hate-filled post brimming with racist or sexist innuendos and character attacks.

I don't think it takes a genius to know why they said he is inexperienced ... They were trying to win the Democratic nomination ... too bad for them it didn't work.

Another thing that hasn't worked for the last 7 years? Experience.

But, then again, maybe you want to spend the next 4 years with less money in the bank and billions of dollars being spent on an illegal war.

Hillary showed her lack of class last night when Obama made history and she couldn't even bring herself to acknowledge his accomplishment. I am so very happy that she will not be our next president and I sincerely pray that her name will not appear on the ticket at all. GOODBYE HILLARY!!!

HRC has seen to it that this will be one of the ugliest national campaigns ever. Since she believes her litmus test of "experience" is more important than say, the Constitution or the will of We The People, it is my fervent hope that she NOT be on the BO ticket and shoulder the blame if (God forbid) she significantly helps her candidate John McCain become our next CIC. At what point does a Democrat stop being a Democrat? We don't want her -- since the Republicans think so highly of her and Bill, perhaps she should be on their ticket.

Greg's comment notwithstanding, Hillary's specific comment placed McCain above Obama on that issue. The commentary of the day was pretty consistent: she had crossed the "don't give the other party ammo for the general election" line. I don't demonize her for it; she did it once and didn't do it again. But here it has come to fruition: it is the centerpiece of the RNC attack.

My problem with Hillary was not her sometimes-dirty campaigning; Barack did a couple of things that weren't cool either. What bothers me is the fact that her power lust is so transparent. I don't find her smile, words, or tone of voice sincere. Every politician at this level wants the power, but when I see it in her it seems somehow exaggerated.

Case in point: it is EASY to imagine a concession speech by Obama that would lift Hillary's candidacy to new heights. He'd eloquently praise her, talking about her commitment to the voters, how she had shown good judgment by staying in the race, how he has seen up close that she's about twice as strong as John McCain, etc. He'd inspire an men who are uncomfortable with a woman president to change. He would use every drop of his presidential style to make her presidential, and it would be sincere. And he'd probably have written it himself.

Does Clinton have that kind of humility and class to do the same for Obama? I'm having trouble imagining an inspiring concession speech from Hillary.

Apparently, so is she.

We the American people gave GOP, the Senate (Mccain has been in the senate during the last eight years), Congress and the Presidency for the last seven to years and what has been our experience.....A never ending, unjustied, dishonest war in Iraq with billions of tax payers money wasted and American lives lost , 300% increase in gasolene prices, rising food prices, falling income, rising unemployment, housing crises, failing small businesses.....Do we need another four years of GOP and McCain experience?....Lets us vote to get rid off those who brought this mess on us and start with a clean slate.

Thanks a lot Hillary, so lame. However, I disagree with the Democrats vs. Obama. That just isn't true. News flash, It's the Democrats vs. Hillary. Where have you been?

I'm voting OBAMA!

Congratulation to the Democratic party and democrats for not complicating the issue of who will best lead the nation from here forward. Obama is the Democratic nominee. Let,s forget the distractions and focus on the ball. The unity of the party started already. Hillary said so this morning. There are internal problems and external problems facing the nation. We can use the blogs to discuss how we can win in November or spend time on these petty talks. The issue of what makes one a commander in chief is in the constitution of the United States. Experience in politics or the white house is not necessary. What is important is good judgement to mobilize available resources to make this nation great . Obama won because he exceeded expectations. He will lead this nation.

I really do not see the point of people picking on Hillary. When people campaign against other people, they point out their weaknesses. If Hillary had won, would people be knocking Obama for saying negative things about Hillary (which he did plenty of)? I doubt it. Politics now are not about ideas. Instead it is just another form of sports. You pick a team, and cheer it on.

For what it is worth, it really doesn't matter if you pick Obama or Hillary. They are bought and paid for by lobbyists. If you wanted real change people would have went for somebody like Kuchinich, who could never win even if he could get the popular votes in the primary because of the Super Delegates.

I voted for George W. Bush twice, grateful that I had a choice rather than having to put up with the delusional Al Gore and later the inadequate John Kerry. I shutter to think how either of those two Democrats might have reacted to the events of 9-11.

I held my nose and voted for Arnold for his first full-term as governor of California, also because of the sorry socialistic candidate running against him.

I may have to hold my nose when I vote for McCain, but I will be grateful to have a choice. Never will I vote for the socialistic and inexperienced Barrack Hussein Obama. He's not the messiah so many believe him to be. His ties to Resko should be a clue to his personality and lack of good judgment.

I love when the more nutty Clinton supporters start making 'kool-aid' comments at Obama supporters, when her speech just last night, which did not concede Obama's victory in its contents, took place 2 stories underground in a concrete basement, with no cell phone service or television monitors such that when McAuliffe yelled out 'Are you ready for the next President of the United States', no one knew for certain Obama had definitely actually won.

Seems like Clinton is gearing to endorse Obama now, though.

I don't think anyone is really surprised at this latest Republican gimmick. Politics IS a dirty business and Old Politicians are usually the dirtiest kind. They're mean, conservative, and Preserve the Status Quo philes. Are they Racists? Maybe not but, they're acting like Racists. As for the issue of Hillary Clinton; she lost, she's smarting from the defeat, but she now has a chance for greatness. How? Put aside any animosity; be mature and support the Party Choice. I think she can be a great VP. If Obama really lacks experience then she can give him the benefit of hers. As for the Republicans, they should be honest with themselves and blame Bush et al for the hole they're in. Why blame an honest, young, and popular man for their failings? Are they sure they really aren't racists?

McCain is nuts for asking Obama to debate him. The more debates the better!

Type your comment here...This is dumb. Mitt Romney said a ton of negative things about McCain when running against him. The Republican Party swift boated him 4 years ago. What does that prove? People say the darndest things when they're trying to win over someone else.

It starts over... right now. Obama vs McCain, that's it. That was then, this is now.

I'm 26 years old, and struck by the naivete of some of these posts.

"We tried experience these last 7 years and look where that got us"

Um bush was a weak governor and owner of the Texas Rangers. He defeated 2 men with WAY more experience than he did.

"Gas prices are up 300% thanks to Bush and his war"
Uhhh Look at how much of our Oil comes from Canada and places not alligned with the middle east. Look at China and India and the european countries opposed to the Iraq war. Europe in particular is paying out the nose for fuel, with their prices going up 180%. HOW THE &*^% can we explain this?

Non western economies are BOOMING and so their demand has shot through the roof. These countries are optimistic about the future (unlike the U.S. which loves being hit over the head with doom and gloom by reporters) and so use their new found Buying Power to get oil and gas at whatever price.

We also refuse to drill...actually Myopic interest groups refuse to allow debate on using our own resources, while at the same time saying we need to do something to solve our energy dependance. Let's explore ALL solutions.

I think McCain is a bad candidate. He uses his military service as a shield for every uncomfortable question. He seems to think that Iraq and Afghanistan have the most electoral college votes in our election, because he talks about foreign policy to the detriment of domestic policy. He needs to get off Mosul and get on Michigan. We need to make this country more competitive with the rest of the world and that means fixing the education system, helping small business owners, REDUCING spending, and working on favorable trade agreements among many other things. Americans in general also need a little fiscal discipline--but that's not the president's responsibility.

Obama is inexperienced. Obama is naive and will be fingered as a "mark" by international leaders. Obama will raise taxes, because he is too beholden to lobbies to fix education--or the machine politics that particularly mark the BLACK community in places like CHICAGO

While on the subject, Obama is not a racist. However he'll say and do anything to get power and be accepted. He couldn't validate himself and be seen as an "authentic" black man in Chicago without attending and ingratiating himself with the TUCC congregants. He subscribed to liberation theology-- and that needs to be reexamined. I don't trust Obama at all, he's not experienced, he refuses to flesh out what exactly he'll do as president other than vague things. He doesn't have a record of bringing different sides together even though he's made that a centerpiece of his campaign. His followers don't help the situation by saying simultaneously that "race shouldn't matter" and that we need a change from 232 years of "old white males running this country"
^^^^^^^^^
If race doesn't matter, then why is this a factor?

Also, this country is over 70% white and has been more than that for much of it's history. It's somehow wrong for a white person to be president?

Anyway, I'm a young college educated white man. I won't be voting for Obama. I"ll hold my nose and vote for McCain.

To quote Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia, "politics ain't bwanbag". People better get used to this kind of thing. It's going to get worse, in the next months I expect to hear Rev. Wright's little speech played to death and see endless copies of Mrs. Obama's "fisrt time I'm proud of being an American" clip.

Here's the ugly reality, smear campaigns are and have been a part of the Electoral Process since Adams and Jefferson. And if Obama can't handle it or the sound bites are too rough, then maybe the DNC should have chose differently. The man has a few skeletons and bad statements, the RNC are pro's at exploiting that stuff. I totally expect to see him demonized because of his name, his color (only because of Wright and the Racist comments), his foreign origins, apparent lack of patriotism, elitism (remember guns and religion comment from SF) and his lack of experience (Political and Military). The RNC is going to do everytthing they can think of to scare those same White Middleclass blue collar workers and Seniors that elected George 2 times.

Sad thing is it will prolly work, we (the Dems) picked a man that has a foreign feel, and is connected to racists with anti-american leanings (whether he agrees with them or not) and the RNC is going to use that to give middleclass white America an excuse to not vote for him. It worked against, Dukakis, Gore and Kerry and their slates were a lot cleaner and they had the right names and backgrounds...it's the reason I voted for HRC, she can complete with the RNC machine,,she's just as mean evil and nasty...but Dem's don't care about winning and insuring that our issues are addressed, they (on this point I separate myself) care about how "we're the party of change and the "good guys"", So get used to the slander and enjoy the next 4 years wandering why the "right guy" lost and the country is spiraling into a worse hole. Because, YES, Obama for all his deficeincies is still the better choice than McCain..unfortunately he prolly won't be America's Choice

Typical of Republican politics ... nothing good to say about their own record or the record of their candidate, their hopes for the future or plans to solve the concrete problems caused by ... their own control of Congress and the White House! Oh my! Get rid of the tired old elephants and the GOP, it's time for a leader again in America!

I'm so sorry that everyone has to trash Hillary Clinton. She is an experienced candidate and has a vision for this country which Obama does not have.

I'm now an Independent and will cast my ballot for John McCain in the November election.

Face it people Obama has no experience. He is only a word monger.

Perhaps some of you need to re-watch the video. Hillary is NOT the only one illustrating Obama's lack of experience. Face it, the DNC screwed up...Hillary was and is the only one that can beat McCain in November. Stop bashing her. Thank the DNC for the DEM loss in November. Dean and Company are complete idiots. Obama will LOSE in November. Trust me and others, not the DNC!

Look, here is why 76% Urban educated poor support Obama. They love, really love to see a young black guy beat up a white guy. And it's really exciting to see
a young black guy beat up a white military man.

Obama never had a chance. He's a confused loser.
