Well, it's about time "our" folks gave Obama his due, instead of supporting Hillary out of blind loyalty to her husband. The Clintons' plantation politics must be stopped!!!

If Hillary has any brains, she won't bring up her husband's administration at all. The press will do that for her.

how much longer do we need colonial kind of rule.."Power lies in the family" kind of attitude. This country can do better than that. For all who think about experience, it is a team that runs so that it will be a sensible decision and not what ONE person wants.

the republicans ran the house and senate from 1995 thru 2001 while clinton was proesident that means that every program he passed had to by law be passed by the GOP run house and senate. so they need to get more credit than hillary deserves.

hillary has made 2 decisions in her political life the first was in 1994 with her terrible medical insurance idea which lead to the dems losing the house and senate and her second idea was voting for this war without even looking at the intelligence report, we can't take another one of hillarys mistakes

HRC shamelessly takes credit for the achievements made by Pres. Clinton and VP. Gore. I'm sorry to rain on the parade of Hillary supporters, but First Lady does not qualify as executive experience. Sen. Obama has a decade of elected experience( 8 years as state senator and 2+ years as US senator) while HRC has only 8 years of elected experience. In his short time in DC, Sen. Obama has shown a willingness to work across the aisle, listen to other viewpoints, and has elevated the dialogue in DC. He has clearly shown passion to serve this country and do good for its citizenry. That's who I want as my POTUS.

troy, ithaca,ny — Thu, 12 Jul 2007 18:55:18 GMT

just remember since 1980 every time the dems nominate someone on the ticket from the northeast they lose.
1984 ferraro-NY vice president
1988 dukakis-TX President
2000 lieberman-CT vice president
2004 kerry-MA president

every other time they nominate any two candidates from any other region they win.

NO hillary in 2008

"I expanded Head Start as First Lady."

This is the first time I've heard Hillary tell us specifically what her White House executive "experience" consists of -- expanding head start.

I'm really trying not to laugh but it's darn hard. Don't get me wrong, head start is very important. But this is what the media continues to boast about when they talk about Hillary's "experience." I'm so tickled that she's finally admitted she doesn't have any White House executive "experience."

Don't you love how she discussed policies implemented during the 1990s but STOPPED short of trying to take credit for them? Bill certainly didn't give her credit for anything in his memoir, "My Life."

I've said many times, You have to listen to Hillary with 2 to 3 sets of ears to really hear what she's saying.

Hillary is trying to blur the lines and make Americans believe she has White House executive experience. And so far, she's been quite successful with the assistance of the media.

Now I can tell all my family and friends and neighbors that I've finally learned what Hillary's White House executive "experience" is -- expanding head start. You go girl!

lucy, nyc — Thu, 12 Jul 2007 20:22:26 GMT

I caught that line about Head Start too, but here's my question. How does a First Lady have any authority to expand a government program? Did she sign a budget? Did she write the legislation?

I give her due credit for being in and around the white house, but I am sick of people trying to pretend she was President, Vice President, or Chief of Staff, for that matter. She was a very involved First Lady, and it ends at that.

Troy in Ithaca,
Just because Hillary is the Jr. Senator from NY doesn't make her a northeasterner. And I guess, we should forget about JFK when it comes to democrats from the northeast.

It is also good to see you say the press wants Hillary to win the nomination because it is the only chance the republicans have to win. I guess you don't buy that "liberal media bias" line your GOP boys are always crowing about.

I have been saying for months that the media is wrong about the Black Community and their suport for Obama. If the Black community feels you are authentic--you will feel the love and get the votes. HRC said when she began her run.."I am in it to Win it." that turned me off. I like her but her time was in 04. Sen. Obama said when he began his run for the Whitehouse. Join me in this quest...He was humble. He said he respected the Back vote and would have to earn it like any other community. If he gets most ot the black vote he will win. Because he has a lot of other communities supporting him. But the Black vote will be critical in key states SC... but be aware---when Obama begins to rise. They will be comming after him. Stay tuned...

Lilly Evans — Thu, 12 Jul 2007 23:20:57 GMT

Please. State senator doesn't count much as experience. Wait it and this is what you get.

Clinton: Senator- 6 Years
Obama: Senator- 2 Years

Clinton has 6 years as Senator, Obama has 2.
8 years of state senator is worth one year nationwide approximately.
So it is weightwise, 3 years for Obama and 2 years for Clinton if you don't count other things like First Lady. Osama also is a stubborn git, and you should see National Journal's 2006 vote Ratings- that's right, Obama is more liberal than Clinton. I also just think, the polls conducted by SurveyUSA show Barack Obama doing horribly against Giuliani. He is losing reliably Democratic states like California, New York, and Massachusetts- 98 electoral votes lost. That is more than Ohio, Pennsylvania, and Florida combined. Since he is such a joke, it would be unadvisable to send this nutter of a crazy idiot to be president.

Sorry, people, but if you want to rally against Hillary Clinton, Barack Obama is not the right candidate.
