Does Obama Even Need The Jewish Vote?
With God's help we will have a president who has a vision and will to take us forward as a unified country next year. Hopefully, this president will be a person of integrity, intelligence and character. I'm glad you recognize a flag pin does not make one more American than another. For the record, Mrs. Obama's sacrifice of her husband's time and safety and lofty commitment of her husband to campaign for the presidency, is a true act of American patriotism.
Sometimes, youth blinds us to the value and worth of truth. After four years of an administration marked by lies and mistruths and deception, we cannot afford another administration of the same... particularly with the history of lies she and the former president have already established.
Keep living and soon you will understand the importance of being a truthful person. posted 05/14/2008 at 14:50:27

Clinton's Big Win Doesn't Really Matter
This race is bigger than Senators Obama or Clinton.
When I have to sit and force myself to look at the scarred and disfigured face of a young solider horrifically wounded in Iraq and return home where his stricken parents must fight/advocate for medical treatment, my focus is on ending the Bush era and its politics of war and error. It's unpatriotic to not medically support wounded veterans!
Like other Americans, to pull up to a gas pump and pay $3.97.5 a gallon to fuel my vehicle, my focus is on ending the Bush era and its politics of favor towards big oil companies.
Everyday of my life is a struggle to meet the medical and healthcare needs of a child with severe disabilities as the insurance companies and pharmaceutical corporations gross profits increase. Again, my focus is on ending the Bush era and what began with NAFTA to reward corporate executives whilst squeezing the workers.
It's personal for me and if Senator Clinton were in Senator Obama's position, I would support her candidacy because my focus is on ending the Bush era which Senator McCain will with certainty embrace and continue. It's the issues I care about! posted 05/14/2008 at 15:47:25

What matters is that Senator McBush, sorry Candidate McCain has major stories breaking regarding lobbyist influence with his campaign and there is hardly any coverage because Senator Clinton is more a distraction than anything else.
For the good of the party, she needs to concede and she doesn't have the balls to do so, then the superdelegates need to cast their votes now and put an end to this futile "fight."
It's time for the Democratic Party leaders to LEAD with some meaningful strategy and stop given John McCain a free walk! Democracy does not translate into foolishness. posted 05/14/2008 at 15:15:31

Interesting enough, I'm told by a WV resident, West Virginians will vote for McCain over any minority (Including female) candidate this fall. In fact, Senator Clinton's support was more anti-minority man than we love Senator Clinton.

Reid Rebuffs Idea Of Senate Majority Leader Clinton
There was a tiredness I recall feeling when Bill Clinton finally left the White House ... and I liked President Clinton. Aside from his lack of personal discipline and weak character which made it too easy for the Republicans to constantly go after him; he performed well (other than the mess with NAFTA too).
Today, an identical tiredness for anything Clinton is what I feel. They remind me of friends you like, however the intensity of their approach and relentless "nagging" wears you down ... I guess they fall under toxic relationships.
Senator Reid may soon have not just a 66 percent majority in the Senate, but a President who embodies leadership and resonates unity ... giving us all a Congress ready to put our country back on track. posted 05/12/2008 at 22:44:29

Lieberman Parrots Obama Hamas Smear
US Casualties to date: 29,395 wounded; 4,064 Dead according to Global Security.com.
This is real; this is what matters and for Senator Liberman to waste time and energy with some ridiculous attempt to insult our citizens by linking his colleague, Senator Obama with Hamas is inexcusable; campaign or no campaign.
On Friday past, I forced myself to watch a news story depicting a wounded veteran who has endured over ninety surgeries. His facial deformity took away my breath and for many of the medical services he required, his dad became his primary advocate to fight against our government to help this young man. This sophmoric bantering by our leaders and irresponsible goading of leaders from foreign lands must cease. Fortunately, when President Bush leaves office the cowboy mentality will end and we will return to an intelligent dialogue of our differences and end some of these hostilities. posted 05/12/2008 at 20:50:43

Emanuel Says Kennedy Clinton Comments Out Of Line
On the otherhand, she might have succeeded were her name Rodham and not Clinton. posted 05/11/2008 at 21:13:26
At the costly risk of "in-fighting" Democrats must move carefully. Senator Kennedy, as a senior member of the Party rightfully denounced Senator Clinton's remarks and for the good of the party. Her lingering efforts to destroy not simply her opponent, but the MOVEMENT for change disqualifies her for VP consideration.
Representative Emanuel in all likelihood understands Democrats cannot stay the course if Senator Clinton continues with her divisive attempts at undermining Senator Obama's and the Democratic Party. It's time for the "fighter" to abandon this course of destruction and cause even greater divisions in the party.
I pray the party does not implode over silliness ... MOVE ON, PLEASE. posted 05/11/2008 at 21:08:42

New Group With Clinton Ties Pushes A 'Dream Ticket'
First, why anyone would call this a dream ticket when in fact it may become a nightmare, is beyond me. Billary for VP is not doable as these two have already demonstrated a willingness to do whatever it takes to achieve their goals. President Obama would never get any sleep ... forget about the 3 a.m. call.
We have some serious issues in our country: Iraq, economy, healthcare, urban violence, etc.. Personally, I would not trust the Clintons and their inherrent distractions.

Edwards: Clinton didn't choose words well on race
Would you agree there are eerie similarities to her "I'm a fighter" and George Bush's "stay the course?" Even when staying the course is so obviously wrong... posted 05/11/2008 at 20:51:34
I firmly believe Mrs. Clinton is not a racist; she is an opportunist. Her willingness to polarize voters and purposely cause division along racial and gender lines is problematic. There have been numerous opportunities for both the Clintons to take the high road, where Mr. Obama tried to keep this campaign, and not make race an issue over the war, economy, environment, etc. When the Clinton campaign thought the opportunity to use race as a means to garner more votes, they invoked race.
For the overall demeanor of her campaign, if she were a racist, I would understand much of what has been said and done.
Bottom line, her poorly run campaign and by a bunch of nuckleheads who lacked character and integrity, has been a disservice to her and the Democratic Party. posted 05/11/2008 at 19:07:26

It is my opinion Mrs. Clinton chose her words very carefully.
The senator's comments were intentionally directed to West Virginian's: Less than 15 percent hold a Bachelor's degree or higher. Furthermore; non-Hispanic White Persons make up 94 percent of its population (2006 Census); Median Household Income 2004, $33,993.
Kentucky: 17.1 percent of its citizens hold a Bachelor's degree or higher; 2006 Census, 90.2 percent Non-Hispanic White Persons make up population; Median Household Income 2004, $37,046.
It's not a far-stretch to believe Mrs. Clinton's great racial divide was her attempt to speak directly, but with some subtleness to our fellow Americans who might, in the absence of education and exposure, expressed themselves better with acts of prejudice in contrast to those who enjoy arugula (add some fresh basil leaves, heirloom tomatoes, a sprinkle of Feta and a good balsamic for a refreshing salad).
It's unfortunate Mrs. Clinton or any other political leader in our country would resort to such acts of self-defamation to encourage bigotry. Mr. Edwards had his moment of a profile in courage by strongly speaking against such race-baiting; instead he chose to make light of a very disturbing trend. Shame on both of them and certainly, I trust Mr. Obama's judgment to exclude either of these people as VP running mate. posted 05/11/2008 at 17:53:05

Obama Camp Faces Major Obstacles In Plan To Help Clinton Pay Off Debt
Mrs. Clinton has stirred up enough animosity independent of the Huffington Post or any other media outlet.
As a long-time admirer of Mrs. Clinton, I hope she is able to read and gauge the true importance of words, her words and the ultimate cost to her character for the horrific display of intentional divisiveness by her campaign.
Words do matter, particularly when you choose to deceive through embellishment and pandering as well polarize an already divided America, the democratic process and your Party. posted 05/09/2008 at 00:58:44

You make a good argument and in all likelihood, Senator Obama will approach this matter wisely. However, like many contributors tonight (and it is late) sometimes it becomes necessary to blow off some steam.

It seems more appropriate at this time that Senator McCain and former President William Jefferson Clinton should assist Senator Clinton in "raising money through signed appeals, joint fundraisers and by other methods" to pay off her debt.
Her class and racially divisive comments today resulted in me removing both she and her husband's books from my book shelf. If there is a lesson for her loss, it is to fight with some grace and dignity.
In conversation with other supporters of Senator Obama today, there is a consensus first, DON'T TRUST HER AND MARK PENN, secondly ... if Senator Obama is really about change, just as he refused to pass out "street money" in PA, he should refuse to bail her out. Where is the logic in rewarding particularly distasteful and BAD BEHAVIOR? posted 05/09/2008 at 00:32:51

Clinton's Hail Mary
If you really are a "blue-collar worker" and if you pulled into a gas station today and paid $3.69 a gallon to gas up your vehicle, before you decide to find a home with Bush/McCain, sir ... or madam, I'd think long and hard.
If you realy are a "blue-collar worker" and walked through a grocery store, as I did today, and spent $5.69 for one gallon of milk, you don't want four more years of being Bushed by someone of a different name ... same plan.
The mistake with Florida and Michigan was made by the DNC, not either Senator Clinton nor Senator Obama. However, they all agreed to the rules. To change the rules midstream, to continually move the post when it is to your advantage, is not the democratic way. It appears Mr. Obama is respecting the rules both he and his opponent agreed on as well the process for which the DNC has onus. posted 05/09/2008 at 19:11:27

Democrats Fear Clinton's Attacks May Cause Racial Backlash
There is an excellent article in today's Chicago Tribune questioning voters who seemingly ignore Senator Clinton's fictions
http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/opinion/chi-oped0427chapmanapr27,0,729175.column
It seems we can't get away from the math in this election and continue to embrace fear wasting valuable energy and time guessing what the Republican Party may or may not do against either Democrat. The sheer numbers, the historical number of citizens participating in the Democratic primary will easily offset any plan or strategy of the Republicans with a candidate they are supporting with a lukewarm embrace.
However, IF the Democratic process to elect the nominee is not viewed as fair and democratic, then I agree the anger, frustration, etc., will cause a greater divide and McBush may waltz into the White House. Why the media chooses to portray this as a racial issue, is myopic journalists who see with only one eye open. Messrs. Gore and Kerry carried the "black vote," and like other voters, blacks felt disenfranchised just as other Democrats.
Quite frankly, Bush can't get out fast enough; the thought of McCain extending the Bush years, has me nearly wiped out. Yet, if John Dean, Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid are unable to bring some sanity and fairness into this process, I'm not sure how I would respond in November. posted 04/26/2008 at 17:19:28

Hillary Clinton Raises $10 Million After Pennsylvania Win
Regarding the wasted energy of hateful comments and all the personal attacks ... I agree it does not help the party. Some of what I read is the frustration of having leaders who lack integrity and would not know the truth if it offered them money.
Unfortunately, Senator Clinton has misrepresentated herself on major issues, as our outgoing president did and will continue down the Pinocchio (sp) road. She took credit for the SCHIP bill; She embellished a hospital drama involving a pregnant woman; she embellished her experience in Bosnia ... These are serious character flaws and after nearly eight years of half-truths and misrepresentation, personally ... I've had enough.
Likewise, and most important for me; her failure to read the National Intelligence Estimate Report prior to casting a vote to go the war. Every member of Congress who did not read this report and voted for WAR should get fired for derelection of duty. WAR is serious business and her half-baked umbrella declaration for the Middle East against Iran is scarier than what Bush has done and McBush wants to do.

Katrina struck New Orleans because New Orleans was in the path of this massive storm. Much of the devastating damage from flooding occurred because the LEVYS BROKE: This was human error and under-funding by the government for repairs, and not God's curse. God's part in Katrina is His presence, His inner peace to know, those who suffered lost (big or small) can believe and hope for a greater good in mankind, our government and themselves to bounce back stronger than before ... again, my belief.
Thank you. posted 04/24/2008 at 13:34:41

Perhaps greater than race or gender, RELIGION IS THE GREAT DIVIDE in our America. McCain will not get much pressure to denounce this most hateful and hate-filled man; rather he will find a way to diminish Hagee's visibility (which is a difficult task considering Hagee's love of the attention). The difference between Hagee and a Wright is the latter views his anger as righteous anger for the bigotry he has suffered through his life as a black man. On the other hand, Hagee is simply hateful.
Approximately 10 years ago, I awaken on a Sunday late morning to this man blaring hateful comments regarding then President Bill Clinton and his wife. In what he perceived as a joke, Hagee told a story depicting the death of these two human beings. It was the most shocking thing I'd ever heard from anyone, especially a minister, and the loud, corporate laughter from his audience/congregation was just as unbelievable. Committed that day to never listen to another word from his lips.
Organized religion has removed empathy, common sense, compassion and spirituality from an unspeakable and all encompassing love from God ... the creator of life: my personal belief. Organized religion is a major politic in our body of politics and McCain is betting there is a greater number of Evangelicals who agree with Hagee than Catholics. McCain can count on the so-called "working class" who will vote against Obama because he is a black man: a win-win for him. posted 04/24/2008 at 13:33:51

McCain opposes equal pay bill in Senate
Dementia did not occur to me, however out of touch certainly did and dangerous. Yet, are the 60+ Republican Senators who voted against the bill suffering with dementia as well. No, it's called special interest and power of lobbyists.
Herein lies the irony of McCain walking thru the Clinton door of labeling Senator Obama an elitist. Give greedy corporations more protection thru less regulation and tell women get more education and training.
We need transparency from all the candidates; particularly the more experience who may have more favors to return like McClinton ... sorry McBush ... sorry McCain and John Clinton, ... sorry Hillary Clinton ... these two confuse me. posted 04/24/2008 at 16:51:07

Whoopi: "Part Of Me Wants Mccain To Win"
It's not simply "infotainment" rather this forum reflects views of many women and men... and not every viewer will take the time to read, research and logically form opinions. Many will more readily listen, believe and act/vote on those beliefs. Consequently, to underestimate the inherrent power these women possess with their opinions ... particularly with the culturally challenged amongst us, is in part foolish. posted 04/24/2008 at 14:41:20
Actually Ms. Goldberg's reasoning is logical ... However, like so many others my concern is McCain would only deepen the hole George Bush has placed us in ... so no to McCain.
Also, does anyone think Ms. Hasslebeck is on FOX's payroll? I choose to not watch FOX programming because of the bantering back and forth on the same subject loop endlessly ... and then when I take a few minutes to listen to the VIEW, this empty-headed sophmoric blabber mouth dominates the discussion. Why Ms. Walters and company allow little liz to manipulate the conversations and everyone else gets quiet for fear of blowing up at her, is a disservice to her audience. I can't believe too she referred to voters who vote for someone because of race or gender as IGNORANT. What about those who vote against someone because he's black or a woman ... like she would in all probability? I'm certain there are other young, republican women who have an intelligent opinion to share with the View's audience in an adult-like manner. posted 04/24/2008 at 11:44:16

Last Night Clinton Won the Pennsylvania Primary, but Lost the War for the Nomination
Excellent analogy ... a field goal when Mrs. Clinton needed a touchdown!
The state of this campaign has changed very little with the exception of so much nastiness. Both Clintons' books adorn my bookshelf. Feeling a need to discard them as she continues her negative campaigning. The thought of John McCain being our next president is depressing me greatly, particularly as we need to lift our troops and our economy out of the Iraq quagmire. Senator Clinton is an intelligent woman and I'm certain she has done the math. Has she however calculated the risk of continuing the Bush reign as her strategy to cast Senator Obama in the worse possible light feeds into the Republican strategy. Why is she working so hard for them?
As a child, someone said to me, "Oh look, the sun is green." No matter how often the person repeated the sun is green, it never turned green. No matter how often Senator Clinton utters WE WILL WIN, mathematically it can't happen. So, for those who believe it can, are they just FILLED WITH HOPE. Great! It's time to become a less divided party and take care of some serious business of and for the people. posted 04/23/2008 at 18:13:09

Chris Matthews: The Media Created "Delusion" That Hillary Can Win (VIDEO)
Yes 2351 ... I agree. Regrettably, the great and persistent cultural divide speaks volumes about us as a country; yet for the Clintons' and their strategists to purposely use bigotry (ethnic, gender and race) for personal gain and without obvious consideration for the harm being done, is reprehensible and unpatriotic. From the spoken words of the PA governor, who obviously know and understand his voters, it was not about their reluctance to embrace Senator Obama, but also a black man. This was news to me (forgive my naïveté) and is unfortunate. What an appalling blemish on Pennsylvania to have been portrayed and dominantly played as a "blue collar" state and is this code for?

Mr. Moore, you are absolutely on target! Thank you.This election process and Mr. Obama becoming our next president is much bigger than Mr. Obama himself. Somehow, I believe he "senses" this through the change movement ¦ perhaps though not in its totality. America, this land I love and revere has somehow lost itself in greed, special interest, self-interest and yes, hypocrisy under the guise of religion (not knocking religion).
Mrs. Clinton and the former president's actions have astounded and disappointed many: Leaders do not conduct themselves by tossing around willfully fabrications or with such purposeful strategy polarize to derive benefit from the vulnerabilities of those they which to lead.
What I envision and hope for is a reawakening of America and a President Obama, who has already demonstrated an amazing ability to draw the masses will make the difference. He will lead through intelligence and compassion and with the support of America's citizens we will emerge from this perilous BUSH state. Already we see the progression of the primary election process, the positive response to a campaign offering hope over fear. If every Pennsylvanian could read your words and accept the magnitude of their vote tomorrow to send a clear message of NOT THIS TIME: Particularly to those who are willing to sustain and market ethnic and gender discrimination, fear, and a further fragment America for personal gain.

Then WE get our America back and all the strategists and pundits, and yes pollsters, can sip on McDonald's coffee and discuss how did America get smart again.
Perhaps the reason Senator Clinton's camp received this memo is because Senator Clinton and the former President Clinton has so handidly embraced Rove politics ... and demonstrate an eagerness to continue regardless of any long-term damage to the party or process and to their peril. The desparateness in their approach is remarkable: It makes transparency (at least for me) even more important. Bottom line, if the Republican party and Senator McCain can trust the Clintons' to do their dirty work, they can maintain a modecum of "clean hands" to clutch their family values... such boring and tiresome hypocrisy.

Obama Criticizes Debate, Attacks Clinton For Being "In Her Element"
The true test of how good Mr. Clinton's policies were for America, came (like any other president) after he left office.
While I will argue the benefits of NAFTA and the necessity of America participating in a global economy (we ought to have lead this growth), the application of the program actually hurt our citizens. Corporate executives were provided tax breaks and other incentives to phase out manufacturing plants and even less incentive to re-train American workers. Those who have and continue to benefit most from what we viewed as properous times are corporate executives, including high-end investors; this group is well represented by lobbyists with special interests well-served by both the Clinton and Bush Administrations.
Arguably, a lot of distractions to President Clinton further advancing his good intentions, were thwarted by a hostile Republican Congress. However, his lack of character and personal discipline or integrity served the Republican cause well. posted 04/18/2008 at 13:29:37

After Gibson's performance last night with little George in tow, I am convinced more than ever the media is STUCK ON STUPID.
When the Bush years are fully memorialized and historians evaluate how America screwed up with this occupation in Iraq, costing us incalculable loss in lives, pain and suffering to the injured men and women returning home and their families, as well enough debt for at least the next two generations of Americans, the media will have played a significant role in the Bush/Cheny debacle and deception.
ABC owes both Senators Clinton and Obama an apology as well an explanation to the viewers who took valuable personal time to watch this debacle. Does ABC "read" the news? How did a "respectable" established news organization like ABC come to feel a need to further add to the Bush years of "dumbing-down America?" These moderators contributed nothing to this election process except to parenthetically demonstrate many news corporations set an agenda versus reporting the news. Last night's demonstration left me BITTER!!!!

I Was There: What Obama Really Said About Pennsylvania
Dear Mr. Coleman:
The media, with its pressing need to capture headlines for viewership (Huffington Post included), readership, ratings, etc., often appears as if they are STUCK ON STUPID. It is quite unfortunate, the accountability is missing and not required, particularly by the respective audiences.
If the presidency of George W. Bush has taught America anything it is the importance of appropriately placing value on societal issues which are critical to the well-being of all its citizens. Quite honestly, the greatest change a President Obama will bring is someone who is smart and intelligent, insightful, a man of character who thinks before he speaks and possessive of a passion to restore America to its greatness.
I would not count on the media to responsibly report your more comprehensive account of this meeting (some redemption for Huffington Post for this printing). Perhaps Mr. Obama's staff can work this into a "What Was Really Said in SanFrancisco" leaflet and get it to the folks of PA before next Tuesday.
Again, thank you. posted 04/17/2008 at 15:58:49

What is more upsetting is Senators Clinton and McCain who both hedge their bets on PA citizens perceived inability to recognize and agree with the truth. They play into the unwarranted fears and prejudices of the so-called "blue-collar workers" to continue their socio-economic plunge at the bequest of special interests and are in fact counting again on the perceived prejudices, bigotry and fears politicians rely on. How American is it to count on ignorance as your strong suit?
I've met wonderful, engaging and intelligent people from PA; certainly, I hope Pennsylvannians (forgive spelling) shock the pollsters, the media pundits who overplay the most simplistic issues while skirting by the hard stuff, and the candidates who placed their bets on fear.

Clinton, nor McCain absolutely must disagree with Senator Obama's statement; particularly for the contributions they have made in the slow demise of America's middle class and all the while they reap the financial benefits of special interests.
The dumbing down of America has proven costly and divisive on far too many levels. What Mr. Obama spoke was truth and he did so intelligently! There are countless Americans who have worked hard and expected more on the return of their investment into our country. The segment of our population my son competed against in the retail industry while a college student became retirees forced to re-enter the workforce as they watched their savings and investments plummet. Many of these people were bitter and felt resentment at the government. (Oddly, while middle America scrambled to hold on to their savings, the return from special interests reaped millions of dollars for the Clintons.... go figure!)
Special interests and the need for transparency is an issue worthy of the press forcing the Clintons' hands on as well clarification of how far Senator McCain wants to further commit the resources sorely needed in this country into IRAN.

Is Wright Right About Racism?
It's so much more than Wright being right about racism... The media's handling perhaps is the greater story in touching off this unavoidable dialogue and long before the attempted massacre of this man.
In recent weeks it has become difficult for me to watch MSNBC programming featuring Pat Buchanan. Why the NBC Network supports his racially bias rhetoric is incomprehensible, and after he yelled "shut up" to a fellow pundit, a black female, without offering a public apology, his opinions are now intolerable. Thankfully, Rachel Maddow from NPR rebuked him immediately on-air, however Chris Matthews should have insisted he apologize. Are we to believe there is no Republican pundit who can provide an objective Republican view on political issues without unabashedly spewing racist hate?
The dumbing-down of America by exploiting fear and ignorance further weakened us and unfortunately the Clintons willingness to further pierce America where she is weakest, racial bigotry is troublesome. How does any leader justify cashing in on discrimination?
It is common in Christian churches for a pastor to explain bad things as "reaping what we've sown." I've heard the late Jerry Falwell, Pat Robertson and others "damn" America because of its stance on abortion; John Hagee is about the most hateful person I've ever heard speak (Sean, Pat and Rush's mentor?).

Bush is tainted by lies and half-truths as over 4000 American military personnel have lost their lives; over 4000 families grieving; nearly 30,000 injured troops and families; over 2 million Iraqi citizens misplaced; over 600,000 Iraq citizens injured; hundreds of thousands men, women and children killed ... ALL ON A LIE.
ON A LIE, the greatest nation in the world is weakened by soaring debt to foreign countries, like China and Saudia Arabia. On mistruths and deception the infrastructure and quality of life for Americans is compromised with an unheard of national debt and spending.
Preparedness for our next Commander-In-Chief must include truthfulness, integrity, and honesty. If we are to believe Mrs. Clinton being sleep-deprived is the reason for her erroneously recalling the facts of this trip, especially coming under enemy fire, how are we to expect her to respond to a 3:00 a.m. call?
LYING is a serious character flaw, no matter how convincing you can narrate the tale. Wake up America and let's move beyond this politic of silliness and embellishments. posted 03/26/2008 at 19:58:15
