"I think Hillary Clinton is good for America. Anybody that's good for America is good for business." this statement from mr. buffet should scare hell out of anybody that's thinking about voting for clinton, she's part of the problem, not the answer, make another selection for the nations sake

No wonder Buffett is getting rid of his money, Hillary and the democrats are going to tax him big time, so now is a good time to donate and keep it out of the goverment's greedy little hands.

As long as Buffett is holding that door open, Obama would be a fool not to step through. Kudos to the Clinton campaign, for seemingly coming close to closing this deal on an endorsement. Its the closest non-endorsement I recall ever seeing.

I, too, noticed the ongoing obsession of Barack Obama that the clinton's have. Everything is geared to whatever obama does, says, and may think. Hillary44 for example is a site obsessing on the man.
Now they are trying to lift Obama's bio from him.
It is beginning to look like the the viral video, Crush on Obama, was more about the Clintons obsession than a girl.

but but but all rich white people support Republicans, and it's a total lie what the right wing PBS show NOW reported that two thirds of hedge fund money managers donate to democrats. Next thing you know we'll find out that more Liberals hire illegal immigrants than Republicans. The Imus story proved the real racist in this country hide under Liberal sheets.

HP, how was my post negative? I wasn't being tongue in cheek - the Clinton campaign deserves kudos for getting this level of support from Buffett. It carries a lot of weight with folks like me and the 40 million others who are trying to figure out how to make our 401(k)s perform like Berkshire Hathaway.

H.P. is about as negative as can be, she makes me look like a liberal so her comments are about as worthless as Elizabeth Edwards.

Eh, I'm already getting a bad taste from Clinton supporters. On another thread I was called jealous and insecure because I'm not supporting her. Now I can't even give her campaign a compliment (I've given her campaign plenty, because I'm impressed with how its performed so far) without being lumped together with others by someone who obviously didn't bother to read my post. This is all too reminiscent of Bush supporters, who called us unpatriotic without bothering to read what many of us were actually saying. You seem intent on having your candidate viewed as the new Bush.

I should have said all negative but you Paul. I didn't s'plain the jab at the BAD company YOU were keeping. I do ask your forgiveness.

jerry you could not be said to have one iota of liberal in you! Why don't you look liberal up in the dictionary. You will see that it is not YOU.

Do not dare to speak ill of Elizabeth Edwards,you are not fit to type her name!

Thanks HP - forgiveness given. And sorry I went off on you. I actually was irritated about the other part; how I was an insecure member of my gender because I'm not supporting a candidate from across the 'real' aisle. I love the process and didn't expect to be backing anyone so soon. But I am backing Obama, though my support is soft. I do think it would be a trick to get me into Clinton's camp for two reasons. One, I don't think she can win the general election. And two, if she could, that fact would only perpetuate the degenerating political discourse. We could use a president who is less polarizing. Its time for someone outside these two families, I think. I also think the thing propping up Clinton is an understanding by some of her supporters that nothing would be a harder kick in the shins for Republicans than her election. We need to break that vindictive cycle. However, and back to the topic here, the Buffett move is a good one for her. If (and I doubt it) she can find a way to defuse this reaction she causes Republicans to have, I'd be more receptive.
