As soon as Obama heard Sen. Clinton went to church, he decided he'd go to church too by saying, "I agree w/ Hillary on this one..."

Trouble is:  Rev. Wright wasn't preaching so Obama had to stay home

HILLARY HAS RUN A BLATANTLY RACIST CAMPAIGN.

HILLARY & BILL HAVE TRIED TO USE THE 'RACE CARD' AT EVERY OPPORTUNITY.

IF JOHN McCAIN MADE SUCH RACIAL ARGUMENTS AS HAVE THE CLINTONS --- BLACK LEADERS WOULD BE OUTRAGED --- THEY WOULD BE SCREAMING & HOLLERING ON EVERY RADIO & TV TALK SHOW DENOUNCING SUCH BLATANTLY RACIAL POLITICS.   BUT SINCE IT IS THE HILLARY CAMPAIGN PLAYING THE RACE CARD, ONLY A FEW BLACK LEADERS ARE SPEAKING OUT IN PROTEST & CONDEMNATION.

WHY IS "RACE POLITICS" IN THE DEMOCRATIC PRIMARY  OK?
____________________________________________________________

Seriously, she can't take a day off to be with her family? She's not winning any points with this. I would think that Obama and McCain are taking the day to be with theirs. Am I missing something? She doesn't like her family?

This is pretty silly as well....

She may have gont to church today ... But where is the proof that she went on Easter?

SHE IS A LIAR !!!

Domenico, you are in love with Hillary!  What will you do when her flaming campaign finally explodes? Every story that you file describes Hillary's every move and mood.   You have reached stalker status.

How sad that she is campaigning in a state that she has a 40% lead in.  I Guess church is a free gig.  Did she toss any coins in the collection basket, or take some out?

clinton should be in church praying ...its gonna take a miracle for her to win the nomination

It is time to take a closer look at Clinton supporters. They are not driven by personal ambition at the expense of the needs of the people. They do not aspire to sacrifice American citicens for personal political gain. They are not inflicted with a shortage of integrity.

Most know the pain of the 12 years of Reagan and Bush I and appreciated the relief provided by the 8 years of Bill Clinton, the candidate elected as a "centrist." It is not their fault that Bill Clinton, to be a "centrist," sometimes sold out on important issues while standing firm on less significant matters.

Clinton supporters are passionate about moving beyond the latest edition of Bush dynasty, including the prospective Bush extension offered by McCain. Early in this election process, they selected who they reasonably believed would be the person most likely to overturn Bush oriented control over American government. They became enthusiastic about their support of their chosen candidate. Their facts were a bit off the mark, but not their passion and not their motives. They deserve respect.

When I read this article, I was shocked seeing HRC had nothing to say? I think there was a grave error , her having nothing to say? Well, seeing it is all over ""thank you God for small favors""".

Yesterday Hillary "Republican" Clinton had a rally which was mostly female.  Where were all the white working men at that she boasts support her so heavily over Obama?

What HRC does is no longer sinificant.

Hillary says that unlike Obama she has the votes of hard working white Americans like those in West Virginia and Kentucky.

Does this mean she thinks Latinos are lazy? Insufficiently American to count and to have feelings about the way they are belittled?

Craig, San Mateo, and Richmond Ca,

The disgust, and frustration you have expressed toward Obama supporters has not fallen on deaf ears. I too, have posted conciliatory comments in an effort to extend the olive branch to Clinton supports, for the healing of our dem party, after having been over the top with angry posts of my own.

Then Hillary rachets up her relentless, immoral attacks on Obama, that I see as an effort to undermine the hard work, and great progress Americans have made in our racial relations, and even democracy itself. The pain of which sends me over the edge, and my keyboard catches fire, again.

You are better, and purer than me. I will give you that.

Not until Hillary withdraws her knife from the back of Senator Obama, for good, in my opinion, can we hope for much of a healing.

 

Why don't Hillary start using the little money that she still has to pay off her bills? She keeps lying to American people that she cares about poverty, but she is owing people who could go hungry because of her. What a BID FAT HYPOCRITE.

When all else fails, pray.  Heaven knows that kitchen sink thing did'nt work.

FR/Mike M--

What kind of reaction is Mrs. C receiving on the trail?  Just curious since, basically, the nation has (either gleefully, or somewhat sadly) written her off?  Surely folks in WV (and KY and OR) are as tuned in as anyone else?  Curious as to what the sense 'on the ground' is...will the sense that 'it's over' suppress turnout?  Or sort of spur folks in these states to hop on the bandwagon?

My sense, which I'd like backed up by your reports, is that only the deadest of die-hards are bothering.

I watched poor Terry McAuliffe this morning almost turn his very charming self into Lanny Davis, a damned poor thing Mrs. C is forcing 'the best' among her supporters to become by forcing them to spew lines believable to none.  Perhaps this is bad to say, but I laughed out loud for a minute straight when McAuliffe invoked the name of Russert's 'dead' father---only to be reminded by the Timster that his father is alive and watching from a Barcalounger!!!  Terry, could it get any worse?

Money is at the bottom of this 'life support' candidacy.  HRC, send Billboy out to speak a few times and give yourself, your loyalists, and rest of us a break...please?

No matter how many prayers Hillary "Republican" Clinton offers up there will be no angelic wings coming down from above to carry her to victory.  Her campaign chariot has swung low but is not sweet.

Go Obama 08/12!

A mother's role is to nuture, care for, guide, set a good example, and love.

Hillary Clinton is in default of her duty. It is not too late, however, for her to get herself together.

I predict there will be exactly one of those unmoderated debates between Barack Obama and John "Wrong Stuff" McCain.  If McCain doesn't have Liberman right next to him whispering advice he will certainly lose his bearings as Obama will get him off his talking points and into some free wheeling thinking where Obama will shine and McCain will crash and burn.

Go Obama 08/12!

Happy Mother's Day to the hardy First Read crew posting articles and comments today.  Thanks Domenico for keeping us informed.

Go Obama 08/12!

Hillary Clinton appreciates the people she encounters as she travels throughout the nation.  Barak Obama just looks at everyone as if they are something to be bought and traded for.  Hillary would be smart to steer clear of any suggestion of being Obama's VP if he is the nominee... That would be political suicide for her... If Obamas name is on the ticket in November you can believe he won't win... why would Hillary want to soil herself with a loosing ticket like that??  Obama supporters face it Hillary is not going to win the General election for an opponent as deviant and hateful as Barack Obama... He wanted the nomination so now win the General on your own... YOU CAN'T DO IT!!! McCain 08

My how times have changed in less than a week as "Wrong Stuff" McCain worried about being the odd man out of the media's scrutiny and now Hillary "Republican" Clinton is sweating out becoming irrelevant to the media.

Go Obama 08/12!

It's too late for her to start praying for a win.  It's just another political ploy.

Obama '08

Yeah she needs to find Jesus

We will not vote for Obama. We will sit on our hands or vote for Mc Cain. Don't soosch this off. This is real. This is for all of you that have done all you can in the media to try and get Obama elected. You hurt millions of people who love and want Hillary for our president. When you report do you not think of this? Your not good reporters when you report to just half the country because the other half is hurting. It will be a Republican for President and you helped in getting that. You hurt and angered people so much with your reporting that we are divided and we will fall. CNN is even worse and FOX ratings are much higher because we don't have to hear this sickening and sugary plop plop plop around Obama. Andrea..you have been fair. Ron A. Well you are you. Norah what a FAKE! In all more fair than CNN but Chris Matthews is just unbeliveable. 13 million plus fans of Hillary are sad and you seem to seem to just dismiss that. How dare you.

Happy Mothers Day Hillary :)

Poor Clinton---and her even poorer supporters. Don't they realize that Clinton didn't have to destroy her reputation with the AA community in order to lose this election? She STARTED the race with half the country saying they would NEVER vote for her, including HALF the Democrats in the country. All her attempts to further polarize the Democratic electorate are failing. There is a huge backlash. And Slick Willie is doing nothing but further diminishing his already tarnished and disgraced Presidential legacy, for what that was worth.

People, please wake up. Hillary is a disaster and you are wasting your time and energy trying to destroy Barack Obama. He is going to be the next president of the United States, no doubt about it. Intelligent Americans need to get behind him. Dumb dumber and dumbest Americans brought us 8 years of Bush/Cheney. Do YOU want the guilt of destroying Obama and giving us a third Bush term with McSame?

Clinton goes to Church?  Thats the story?  C'mon Mike, you can do better than this.  What a waste of time this read was.  At least lend some introspection or offer an analogy.  Reading this story left that "burped-up-puke" taste in my mouth.    

Hi Mike, not much to argue with there.  I want to raise a question relating to church and that is the pro-life position that McCain is espousing.  I am a pro-life Obama supporter. The way I am handling this cognitive dissonance is to say I had eight years of a pro-evangelical President who added two conservative justices to the Supreme Court and now I switch my concern to other pressing issues: the war, poverty, universal health care, the environment. When I hear Obama speak I hear a candidate who resonates with my own Christian beliefs. Obama'08 in the Bible Belt.

Just saw the clip of Terry Falloffacliff on Meet the Press.  His heart is so passionate - can't blame him for that.  But did you see the way he laughed when Tim asked him whether something catastrophic wouldhave to happen to the Obama campaign in order for her to pull ahead...THAT, folks, is VERY suspicious...stay tuned.

Hillary is another Huckabee!!

Goodness. Hillary made time for herslf to again to get reconnected to her God. God certainly work through her to make her contribution. I challenge/dare the Obama's supporters to critcize her (as a gift from God).... I am tired of the inappropriate anti-Hillary comments from the Obama's supporters. You do not hear to much anit-Obama comments from the Hillary's supporters who I feel has more class...

Steve P. Washington

What a faker - she does not go to church on any regular basis - but she is so willing to talk about her faith and go to church as a campaign event.  Jesus spoke of such people as "hypocrites" and she is the biggest one I have ever seen.

I wonder if she prayed for God to keep Bill Clinton out of jail for committing fraud...

Clinton To Testify In FEC Fraud Case - After The Election

I'am appaled that Hillary would for political reasons stand with pastor of a church to greet worshippers of a church for her own campaign woes. This is a sacred house of God not a place to get voters.

"I didn't major in Math, I majored in Miracles!"

-HRC

She better go to church and pray. Only a miracle could give her this nomination.

Anything for a vote, even if it's using the good Lord's name.

HILLARY CLINTON  CAN BEST WIN IN NOVEMBER:

It's time for everyone to face the truth. Barack Obama has no real chance of winning the national election in November at this time. His crushing defeat in Pennsylvania, and loss in Indiana makes that fact crystal clear. His best, and only real chance of winning in November is on a ticket with Hillary Clinton as her VP.

Sen. Obama has zero chance of winning against the republican attack machine, and their unlimited money, and resources without Hillary Clinton. Zero chance.

It is absolutely essential that the democrats take back the Whitehouse in November. America, and the American people are in a very desperate condition now. And the whole World has been doing all that they can to help keep us propped up.

Hillary Clinton say's that the heat, and decisions in the Whitehouse are much tougher than the ones on the campaign trail. But I think Sen. Obama faces a test of whether he has what it takes to be a commander and chief by facing the difficult facts, and the truth before him. And by doing what is best for the American people by dropping out of the race, and offering his whole hearted assistance to Hillary Clinton to help her take back the Whitehouse for the American people, and the World.

Sen. Obama is a great speaker. And I am confident he can explain to the American people the need, and wisdom of such a personal sacrifice for them. It should be clear to everyone by now that Hillary Clinton is fighting her heart out for the American people. She has known for a long time that Sen. Obama can not win this November. You have to remember that the Clinton's have won the Whitehouse twice before. They know what it takes.

If Sen. Obama fails his test of commander and chief we can only hope that Hillary Clinton can continue her heroic fight for the American people. And that she prevails. She will need all the continual support and help we can give her. She may fight like a superhuman. But she is only human.

Don't be fooled by the pledged delegate, and math arguments. Neither candidate has the necessary pledged delegates. The entire delegates counts, and votes from Florida, and Michigan are not even being counted. Plus the democratic caucuses, and primarys have been heavily corrupted by fraud, and vote cheating. The only relevant question now is who can best WIN IN NOVEMBER and take back the Whitehouse for the American people. And the answer is HILLARY CLINTON. Everyone knows that now.

Sincerely

Jacksmith... Working Class :-)

p.s. I have been under heavy attacks for some time now. But it wont stop me. :-)

A thought that I am surprised not to have yet seen in print: Everyone makes much of the fact, although a generic polls shows Democrats trouncing Republicans, the actual candidates are nearly tied in head-to-head match-up. But, the Obama vs. McCain (and Hillary vs. McCain) polls certainly reflect the sentiments shown in other polls -- namely, that Obama supporters are resistent to Hillary and Hillary supporters are resistent to Obama. Surely some of McCain's support in the general election match-ups results from this phenonenon. And, nevertheless, he is behind. Assuming the almost certain Obama vs. McCain match-up in the Fall, even if only a quarter of the Hillary supporters who currently say they won't vote for Obama end up changing their minds and supporting the Illinois senator, that would likely result in at least a ten point surge in the polls for Obama -- and he is leading McCain by a few points already. The same analysis applies to state-by-state match-ups, especially in swing states.

HRC the mother of invention, in her own voice! A combat Veteran of lies and deception. A life of scandal, reality comes as truth reveals the owner. Americans, voiced ""enough is enough""! HRC is a hard core self serving shallow Washington paper hanger, being of false agenda she is hollow. As reported she has driven the DNC into the dirt. There is no unity, all her cronies hay run the other way. The spouse has shot her at every turn, to be admonished by the real power setting in congress has never been seen of past.
Americans do love a fighter, but they hate a liar who has been discovered of two faces. standing stated agenda would cost the people billions, with actual no return from their taxing.
At this point it is useless to beg to be forgiven. Just too much water under the bridge, careless and needless acts to bring shame on to another. She would never expose who she really is, how many places can one be born, did sobbing in public not show how she could stand up to ruthless leaders around the world.

No Hillary , you need to prey more that people will remove you from Washington and the congress. That prayer can be answered next election.

See how easy this is? A nice uplifting message from the pastor. Not like Wright, who like Obama, hates this country's traditions and values.

I applaud Hillary Clinton for celebrating Mother's Day. However, I don't think that she can claim to monopolize the voices of all mothers on Mother's Day. I respect her as a mother and as a politician, but I don't share her views on this country. There comes a time when it is okay to stop the divisions in the Democratic Party. I guess she feels it can only be beneficial for divisions to continue.

Obama sent his grandma a nice pot of flowers along with the message "Happy Mothers Day you Typical Racist White Person".

Happy Mother's Day to you future Madam President.

This is really newsworthy!!   did Mrs. Clinton ask for forgiveness for the " low road " campaign she has rum?

that is so wonderful that Chelsea is with her mother it shows how much she loves and respects her. how many mothers has childeren that would stick by them through thick and thin this way  after all has been said and done to her in the public shows what a wonderful person Hillary realy is and what a wonderful daughter she has raised  

Did not ‘someone’ say recently  ‘when people are in trouble they cling to their church?

Did she ask for forgiveness for the lie about being under sniper fire in Bosnia, did she pray for forgiveness for running such a racist campaign?  I don't know why the media is even covering her anymore. She is no longer relevant.
