Shadow, Hamden,CT — Tue, 24 Jul 2007 19:20:25 GMT

What an intellectually insulting argument by Clinton. Obama never said he wouldn't make preparations before meeting with those world leaders, and simply did not get to address that point because he was not allowed a rebuttal after she spoke; Clinton's attempt to take advantage of something Obama did even not get a chance to respond to is dishonest and misleading. Why pundits are not calling her on this and just amplifying the misconception is beyond me.

Reality check on the propoganda issue: any non-democracy with state owned media is inevitably going to use a meeting with a US President as propaganda, no matter how much preparation, planning, or lack of prior disclosure about the meeting. That's just the way countries with state-owned media operate, and if propaganda is the deal-breaking reason not to talk, we will continue not to talk with those countries just as we haven't been under the Bush administration. This is all obvious logic that responsible political analysts would be interjecting with right now, instead of being a copy machine for Clinton press releases.

malarson2 Beaverton, OR — Tue, 24 Jul 2007 19:34:51 GMT

Regarding Clinton experience: I read last week that Bill Clinton is campaigning for his wife like he is "running for his third term in office". While I do feel horrible for the way he was hunted down by the Republicans in Congress during his second term (they clearly had an agenda to destroy him), I still can't see the justification for a Clinton third term. No amount of fundraising, campaigning, governing or authority will change the past. It's not fair to the American people to have the office of the President used as a way to avenge the misdeeds done to him during his time in Washington. It's just too late to go back and make it right. It will do absolutely nothing but mire us in the partisanship that has frozen our country for 20 years. And now that I think of it, it makes me understand the current President Bush's motivations: it's feasible that a small part of him wanted to be President, and in turn invade Iraq, to avenge his father's re-election loss and his failure to oust Saddam Hussein. Well, enough already. No one should be running for office based on what has happened in the past. It's time to move forward. Just remember, you can't have a dynasty without the nasty. Go Obama!

1) What's more irresponsible and naive:

Hillary's trusting the Bush administration enough to cast her vote to authorize the war, when other U.S. Senators (and Illinois State Senators) knew better...

OR

Barack's choosing to meet with hostile world leaders who the U.S. happens to disagree with on foreign policy, rather than continue the diplomatic style of the Bush administration...?

2) Does anybody really think that Barack would allow himself to be used as propaganda by a hostile foreign leader, or that he would haphazardly just sit down, shake hands, smile, and give anything away that was contrary to U.S./World long-term interests?

If Ms. Clinton wants to talk about iresponsible, she needs to answer about her support for continued outsourcing of American jobs, her calls for more H1-B visas when 30% of our own engineers and programmers are out of work, her proposals to allow in foreign medical workers (like nurses) to platcate her supporters in the overpriced health care industry who object to paying Amercian nurses $50,000 a year and want to bring in tens of thousands of foreign nurses to drive wages down. She needs to answer for her vote forbidding American's from bringing in perscription drugs from European pharmacies, where every batch is tested, but allows for discount chains to bring in Chinese and Indian drugs that are not tested and are now in many cases known to be poisonous. Ms. Clinton is nothing more than a corporate puppet, pretending to stand for working men and women.

It seems to me that Obama used every question to try to boost his rating for the presidential race instead of just discuss the issues, he put down everything about Hillary to try to make himself look better. Doesn't he know that people can see right through that kind of bull? I don't appreciate it when someone tries to use a public forum like this to help himself get votes. Hillary clearly seemed the most prepared and knowledgeable of the group and she did it without trying to make anyone look bad.

This shows again that Obama is about change and Clinton is supporting the same old arrogant diplomacy that led us to this stupid war in the first place. Diplomacy is what helped us put the pressure on Iran. JFK met with soviet leaders and Reagan met with the bad guys as well. Now Obama is linking his philosophy to JFK and Reagan and Clinton is linking it to George Bush. I think this tells us who can lead us to a new Iraq war and who on the other hand would handle crisis such as the cuban missiles crisis.

Diplomacy could have saved so many lives in Iraq but Clinton and others chose to let our men and women die because they did not feel like hurting their own politicAL ambitions. Clinton is so into acting tough she lost common sense. If you want soldiers to get into another war Vote Hillary.

The last time we had a Democrat for a President we had peace, a zero deficit, and the poverty level was lower. Our men and women were not being killed in a useless war.
Bush said at the beginning of his second term there are 45 million people without insurance. Now there 46.5 million. Congress wants to give free health care to the uninsured children. Bush says he'll veto it.
Republicans DON'T care about people. They are for big business.
If you want to continue to see our men and women get killed and have this country continue to go down the drain, vote Republican.

Hillary is an extremely accomplished and able woman. I look forward to electing her our next president. Not only will she be a vast improvement over President Bush (anyone is), she is more qualified than most of the other candidates from either party. Barack Obama is inspiring and promising, but I don't think he's built enough of a resume to lead our country. Edwards is ok. There's things I like in most of the democratic candidates and practically nothing I like in the republican candidates -- they're too preachy -- pro-life (yah, right; i.e., Iraq), anti-gay, too moralistic (uh-huh, e.g. Guantanamo, torture). And more important, it's the republican party that has led us into this disaster and thumbed its proverbial nose at our constitution. Hillary Clinton will get my vote.

Clinton: Obama 'irresponsible' & 'naive'

David Erickson Scottsdale, AZ — Tue, 24 Jul 2007 19:42:53 GMT

I liked Obama's response. I think what he was speaking to, was the current administration's use of noncommunication as a way to somehow bring these leaders and their countries to their knees or keep them on the back burner until the Iraq issue stops hemorrhaging. At the very least, it's akin to giving the cold shoulder and who needs that? I thinks its a fresh perspective to say this far in advance that Obama would speak with them (and not "at" them). It really underscores for me a difference between he and Clinton that I suspected was there. I get the feeling that another Clinton administration would engage in business as usual and that isnt what Americans want right now. We can't afford business as usual. The news clips of her campaign already out today saying that his remarks were naive are certainly politics as usual. I also don't think that people are that idiotic to believe that as President, Obama wouldn't be advised and would ultimate go after he sends a diplomatic point-man first. I think he would not add the laundry list of preconditions that Bush has to Iran. I think that he would meet with Korea without demanding that they only meet in 6-party talks or nothing at all. I think that is what Mr. Obama was trying to convey.

Can we PLEASE just quit with the Clinton bashing on this issue? Firstly, I don't think MSNBC gives a crap about who wins the next election. They report what happens. Second: The question that Clinton is getting guff for was a blanket one: "Would you as President agree to meeting the following world leaders?" The question was "will you". Meaning, "do you, right now, plan to". Obama gave a blanket 'yes' and then went into the importance of diplomacy. In short, his answer was impulsive and naive. Would he agree to meet them with no pre-conditions or groundwork? I am sure he wouldn't, but that's not what he said. Clinton was commenting on the exact verbage of his comment. And as stated: He's wrong.

BTW...I am looking forward to a Clinton/Obama ticket, so I am not dissing the guy. I just think many of you are being unfair.

To eliminate someone for leadership based on their gender is moronic. Bush is a fine example of leadership. He should have stayed in baseball; he always fielded a winner- or did he?
Republicans appreciation of Bush and the fine job he's done is reminiscent of a Titanic passenger praising the job of it's captain.

Louis Roundtree Phoenix, Az. — Tue, 24 Jul 2007 19:52:51 GMT

I think that Obama made the absolutley correct statement. The President should speak to the leaders of these countries. Yes, with preparation. There will be propoganda spin on both sides as always, but unless and until the leaders sit down and talk how will there be any accord reached? Ignoring them until they go away has not been a successful plan of action thus far. Clinton was using a cheap shot to score points, playing on the press that Obamna doesn't have experience enough to lead. He has lead, in political life for nearly two decades. His only lack of experience is Washington experience.

It is funny how Hillary Clinton is more concerend about beeing used for propaganada. I think she shot herself in the foot there.

Nancy Pelosi didn't have a problem with being used for propaganda when she went to Syria. She just did the right thing.

Where she needed to exercise this caution was in voting to authorize the war that has killed more Americans than 9/11

What this country needs is to show the rest of the world that we don't just talk about the land of the freedom but we stand by it as well. Electing Obama in 2008 would send the right message.

Jon, Portland, OR — Tue, 24 Jul 2007 19:54:58 GMT

Clinton's right. Obama's just full of happy talk and it is scary thinking this wimp would be in charge of dealing with terrorism, dealing with Iran, dealing with Syria. Obama's going to at least have to talk tough on these horrible people around the world like N. Korea before he could be considered for the Commander in Chief position. His stupid little fairy land comments like that and that his response to another 9/11 would be to make sure the first responders had all that they needed, just shows he's too inexperienced. Obama can get over this by finally starting to have some original ideas or at least ideas even if unoriginal, and stop his lame generalities and weak foreign policy ideas. I reckon if ah talk to Ahmadinejad he'll stop being racist.

Frankly, I'd much rather see my country's leader take the bull by the horns and meet with 'problem leaders' himself than sending his lackeys over to do the dirty work for him. I'm not sure where Hilary is really trying to go with this except to make herself "different" from Obama in any other way but her 'go-ahead' vote for the war.

Have you all forgotten that Hilary stole White House paintings and furniture as Bill's term was over? This woman believes she had rights "first" over anyone. Do you really want Bill back in the White House? Saddam Hussein was the first to voice his nasty oppinion World Wide about Americ's Government right after Bill's affair, or fling, while on your tax dollar. Our Country began suffering extreme and disasterous Weather Changes- as well as 9/11, in 2001, just 8 months after the Clintons left the White House with all their stolen goods. Blame global warming all you want, and simply ignore the signs of the times. I know that America will get what it deserves if this couple manage their way back into "our" White House.

Oh, yes. She has frightened Republicans that they might lose the Whitehouse. You people are not voting in your own interest. Bush has favored the RICH in every way. You are losing in the economy race. I guess you prefer to help the list of Billionairs grow.

She needs to re-think this one. Look at the Presidents who put out that hand JFK or Richard Nixon before Watergate got him traveling to Russia and China. Obama could ask to have a meeting, they could decline. Or have a meeting on the tarmac somewhere like Ford did in Iceland. Hillary is a pathetic Senator, I can say that because I live in Upstate NY, we are still waiting for all the jobs she promised when she ran the first time for Senate.

I don't care for either candidate, but I do agree with Hillary. This is not just a Bush administration's POV, but several administration's before. ...and why is it so important to talk to these other countries. Why are Americans, which I am, so eager to be liked. Who cares if people like or dislike us. There will always be people who hate Americans and we don't have to deal with them (Iran, N. Korea, etc.).
Actions are louder than words. If they (these other countries that don't like America) want to join the civilized world then free their people, invest in their people. Stop the terror in their own societies and we will speak with them. The ball is in their court!

Speaking as a strong woman who has survived breast cancer and the loss of a husband to leukemia all at the same time raising 4 children and working full time, you are an idiot!! I dare you to do what I did in a 6 month period and not have your little ..... tail tucked between your legs!!! Surprisingly enough, I as a woman, can change a tire, roof a house, use a circular saw, change the oil in the mower. This is all at the same time as making dinner and folding laundry. Try that one!!!

John Doe, The Peanut Gallery — Tue, 24 Jul 2007 19:58:49 GMT

The context of the question has yet to be mentioned in this thread. The question revolved around President Sadat's visit to the Israel in 1977. The visit had no preset conditions and no agenda other than what was decided upon once he arrived.

***That visit resulted in a peace treaty between Israel and Egypt that has stood to this day, despite the on going strife that has continued between the other factions.***

If anyone -including Senator Clinton- thinks that opening lines of dialogue is "irresponsible and naive" they lack even a basic grasp of diplomacy. When it comes to First Read posters, it is simply what I expect from party line shock troops like Jerry, Dave, and Bush Republican. Coming from a Presidential candidate, it is disheartening and makes it impossible for me to vote for them.

The only thing that is irresponsible and naive is thinking that the current global strife we are enmeshed in can only be solved with force.

How sad that so many obvious Republicans send in these comments about the next presidet. Although there are questions about all of the candidates, it seems that no one seems to question the FACT that she is an intelligent, articulate and strong person who would definitely be an improvement to whats in the White House now. I truly believe she would not only be a strong president but also bring some bright, new, young talent to Washington.

Not a woman's job? Welcome to the 21st century, Manny Calvin, where women can and do run Fortune 500 companies, have top positions in academics and research, and serve in the presidential administration, on the Supreme Court, and as the Speaker of the House for the United States. I'm not saying that Hillary is necessarily the best person for the job, but that has nothing to do with her having two X chromosomes. Sexist, misogynistic remarks like the one you have made are a reminder that, regardless of how far the U.S. has come regarding women's issues over the past century, we still have a long ways to go. Your comments are the ones that are "irresponsible and naive".

As a New Yorker, I did not vote for her, she has made a constant and targeted plan to attack and derail any opposition to her and her policies. She seems to forget, or overlook, that SHE has advocated such great plans as the health care program with Bill, a program SHE WOULD NOT SUPPORT TODAY, she has gone from I love the war to I know nothing of it. She is the most ireposnisble person in the field. Take a stand Hilary and live with it, oh yea you did that when you and your husband destroyed anyone who came out against you, fill in the blank(Willy etc.)

Hilary has got to go, the polls will tell her where since that is what she follows, that and focus groups.

Obama never said that he wouldn't go through a process before meeting with Hugo Chavez. In the time alloted, in essence, he gave a simple answer of "yes" to the question.

I'm glad he will talk to people who will or may disagree with us. And Obama is correct, it is Hillary who was irresponsible and imbued with naivete in giving Bush the authorization to go war in Iraq. It is she who was "chicken-little" at that crucial time.It is she who needs to admit she made a big plunder and mistake. Until she does, I can't believe what she says about what she will do with the Iraq War.

ICAP, Memphis TN — Tue, 24 Jul 2007 20:01:28 GMT

Hillary Clinton has everything it takes to lead this country, and so much over all the other candidates. This country is such a mess right now and she is smart, articulate, cares about all Americans not just the rich, has experience in the the Senate Arms Committee, and better, in the White House itself. She will have almost no learning curve in getting our country back on track which is going to be a daunting task for anyone next in the Oval Office. Most other world leaders loved the Clintons and Bill Clinton will be a huge plus in getting some positive standing in the world community.(Dispite what some unforgiving people think about his hanky panky, whereever he goes the crowds go wild with applause and cheering, here and abroad.) So I'm with Jim, vote for Clinton, vote for Clinton, vote for Clinton.....Please vote for Clinton!

"Mean Girls" may have been a funny movie, but it's hardly a basis for foreign policy. This concept of "I don't talk to so and so because they are not in the cool clique" is absolutely sophomoric.

I am a conservative, but if there is going to be a change in parties, I sincerely hope it is Obama, and not Hillary. She never fails to find a way for me to lose faith in her abilities...

Carrie, Eastern Iowa — Tue, 24 Jul 2007 20:05:18 GMT

Dee - Again, what is your point? Hillary never said her administration would not have dialogue with "evil" nations. She said she personally, as President of the United States, would not meet with leaders from those countries without certain things first being accomplished. (I am paraphrasing, as I don't remeber the exact words she used.) Nowhere in any of the statements that you have quoted today has she said that the President should, within his or her first year in office, meet with leaders of these nations without first laying the diplomatic groundwork. Show me her saying that precise thing and I will happily concede she has reversed herself.

As far as Obama not having a chance to respond - perhaps he should have had a better answer to begin with, rather than a "oh that's what I meant!" when confronted with how his answer may appear. The point is, he did NOT qualify his answer; he simply said he would meet with them.

In regards to the propaganda issue, Hillary has a legitimate point. She also didn't say that she would refuse a meeting simply because it would be used as propaganda if that meeting would otherwise prove useful.

It's funny how many people pick away at every little thing that Hillary says, but expect you to cut Obama and others slack at every turn. The more people harp on Hillary, the more I want her to succeed. And by the way, I don't see all this "Hillary can do no wrong" in the MSM. I read several articles on First Read today touting Obama's performance as being the best of the debate. But of course, anything positive about Hillary means there is bias. Anything positive about the other candidates means the MSM is being fair. How silly.

The great thing about the Hillary/Obama debate is that they'll sling arrows and barbs at one another, break one another down so all American can see their true colors as liberals suffering from a mental disorder. Neither candidate has focused on protecting America's borders, culture and language. They are open-borders proponents who want to see America, Canada and Mexico become one big free-trade zone that will turn America into a multi-lingual, multi-cultural country. Read your history, folks. There has never been a society, nor has there ever been a country that has survived being both multi-lingual and multi-cultural. No matter what our ethnic backgrounds we should all be Americans first...and unfortunately many of the illegals who have overrun our country have no interest in adopting the American way of life. They are merely here to take advantage of our system, of the at least 18 social entitlement programs available to them and to take jobs from legal Americans while in many cases sending all their money back to Mexico. Voting for either one of these candidates will lead to the downfall of America, potentially civil war and the complete destruction of everything we hold near and dear.

Besides, if women were to stay home and cook, wouldn't that require a real man with the ability and intellect to support her? Lazy welfare bums like manny aren't able to be real men, so that proposition circled and drained long time ago.

PaulG, Morrisville, NC — Tue, 24 Jul 2007 20:07:29 GMT

I think it's a complete mistake for Obama, in a public forum, to announce his intentions to talk to foreign leaders of countries hostile to the US. I think that is irresponsible and naive. Obama could have said - without sounding indecisive - that he was not opposed to the talks in principle but would need to explore the other side's intentions before committing to that particular course of action. (Similar to Bush in 2000, when he advised that Bush was not opposed (in principle) to talking to Arafat, but it would not be a simple exercise of photo ops on the front lawn of the White House...something constructive would need to be in the offing.) Instead, Obama all but committed his administration to talks - and this does indicate weakness. Perhaps those leaders will make a donation to his campaign.

Hillary did a much better job of qualifying her position and it indicates a higher level of experitise and knowledge about how to deal with foreign affairs.

Well, I gotta agree with Mrs Clinton. Obama clearly showed his lack of experience when dealing with this question during the debate.

She said the truth. He is inexperienced, and he is naive. He could possible be a great president, but the needs more years in Washington to get to that point

Until this statement I did not consider myself anti-Hillary, just more pro-Obama. I can now say that I will not be voting for Hillary in the primary and will only vote for her (if she wins) in order to keep a conservative (notice I did not say a Republican) out of the White House. Hillary is a political person, pure and simple. She does not have principles, she has positions. I don't see how she is any different from Kerry was (who still would have been better than Bush II). I really think Hillary is hurting herself by going negative against Obama on this issue.

The more I listen to Hillary the more I wonder about, why she is running. The more she defends herself about her gender (manly) the more manly she becomes. Hear what I didn't say …("I'm women here me roar"). She is worried and has to prove her worthiness. I admit she has an adversary in the campaign wings (Bill’s chorizemas) which maybe an advantage, or maybe a disadvantage (her not having it). I believe most people believe that, if she is elected, they will get a another chance to get Bill in the Whitehouse by proxy, as an advisor.

Obama is a statesman who understands diplomacy and that fact that we need to learn to live together on the planet. What's that quote from the Book of Proverbs "when a man's way pleases the Lord, he makes even his enemies to be at peace with him."

Clinton played with a cigar and your jelous. Stop listening to that Republican Fraud Rush Limbaugh. The other countries loved Clinton which is not what I can say about a President who only has 26% approval rating in his own country. It's the old Republican trick. Bad mouth the Demo Candidate until everyone is convinced they would be crazy to vote for them. Have the Demos gone after Mrs.Bush..no. The Republicans went after every Demo wife in the Whitehouse which is gutter behavior. I was a Republican until the Church people took over our Constitution and called it the Bible.

As for the debate, non of them had the courage to tell all of the suplicants with their begging hands out, that their concerns are not that of the President; but, rather, those of the Senate and House.

To do so, of course, would mean an admission of their complete and total failures at the jobs they already have.

MSNBC seemed to overlook this gem throughout their Vote For Clinton spamming process. "Clinton was asked three times whether she would put U.S. troops into the Darfur region of Sudan before she answered no." Even in an "average joe" format, Mrs. Clinton attempted to zig and zag her way out of an answer. The die-hard clinton fans (and msn), have somehow spun this as a positive, while anyone with a few kicking brain cells and a pulse sees this as a weakness. Other people have said how important this election is to elect the "right person for the job," and it is unfortunate that the media only focuses on who can SAY the "right things" for the job.

I personally like John Edwards, and just because he has money, I dont think that makes him unable to be concerned about those without money. It doesnt make him a hypocrit. I really really hope Clinton doesnt get the nomination, plus she was asked if she didnt get the nomination would she accept vice president and she said no, which means she just wants the title she couldnt careless if she can help the country or not she wants a title...

Daniel Hines — Tue, 24 Jul 2007 20:11:29 GMT

There is something that has emerged in DC in the past 15 years or so...it's an arrogance of power, an attitude in which those who breath the rarified air of the Beltway by so doing are bestowed with knowledge that exceeds that of us in the Heartland.

The result is that the puruit of the continued proximity to power becomes more important than the reason for an election in the first place--to govern--not to rule.

I believe Ms. Clinton is wrong in her comments about Senator Obama. IF she is the Democrat candidate, I will support her, but she needs to step back, reconsider her approach to the effort to promote the inevatibility of her election (I am so tired of hearing she hasn't lost since runnng for class President) and do a check to see if she is suffering from the arrogance of power. It used to be called Potomac Fever, but it has mutated itself with the current occupant of the White House being a poster boy for this Beltway disease.

Obama’s position is naïve. Whether Clinton is a hypocrite or not does not change that fact. Every administration since the revolution has refused to meet with Iran. No President dating back to Kennedy has met with Castro. I could go on, but the point is this: does Obama think that all those Presidents were stupid? Does he actually believe that they chose not to meet with these regimes because they were just stubborn? There are many reasons why the US President should not meet with a religious fanatic or a half wit like Castro. Whether you like her or not, Clinton is right.

John - Michigan — Tue, 24 Jul 2007 20:16:49 GMT

As a "swing state" Independent voter who does not want to see any of George W. Bush's failed policies dragging on past 2008, I feel compelled to offer Democrats my two cents on the next presidential election. And I hope that Democrats will listen, not just to me, but to Independent voters in general, because the votes of Independents will ultimately decide which party's nominee will become the next President. My point here is simple: Hillary Clinton does not represent the change that Independent voters are looking for, and we will not make her the next president. This is not simply my own perspective - polls have shown that, although voters would prefer a Democratic president in 2008, Hillary Clinton does very poorly in head-to-head matchups against all of the major Republican contenders [1]. For example, a recent Zogby poll indicated that Hillary Clinton would lose against Giuliani or McCain, while Barack Obama would defeat any potential Republican candidate [2]. And when Independents choose among Democratic primary candidates, Obama leads Clinton 31% to 22% [3]. The message from the American electorate is quite clear: if Democrats nominate Hillary Clinton, Republicans win in 2008 and the White House is GOP-occupied territory until 2013.

Even if Democrats insist on ignoring polls like these, there are other practical reasons why nominating Hillary Clinton would be a strategic disaster. One concern is that she has already alienated far more voters than the other Democratic contenders. Polls have shown, for example, that 46% of American voters say they would definitely vote against Hillary Clinton [4]. A more serious concern yet: no other Democrat's candidacy has as much potential to re-unify the GOP and mobilize the conservative base in opposition. For that reason, the head-to-head polls may even underestimate the difficulty that a Hillary Clinton ticket would face in 2008.

Hillary Clinton has long been despised by Republicans, but more recently she has lost the support of most liberals (by voting to authorize the Iraq War and the Patriot Act, for example), and the polls above suggest she isn't very popular with Independents either. The only group that seems to like her are Democrats who don't belong to the passionately anti-war bloc. This support may make her a serious competitor for the Democratic nomination, but when it comes to the general election, Hillary Clinton's narrow support base renders her unelectable.

Aside from the pragmatic arguments, there are deeper issues that make me doubt that Hillary Clinton is the best candidate for her party or for the country. I realize she often does a good job of talking the "party line", but when the money is on the line, will she stand up for everyday Americans or will she shift with the winds of political expedience? I think one good predictor of Hillary Clinton's loyalties as president can be found in her fundraising - to whom would she owe her election?

Revealingly, Hillary Clinton relies on relatively fewer but larger political contributions than her Democratic adversaries. She has taken more of her money from $2300+ donors than any other candidate from either party, and her percentage of money from small donors (<$200) is lower than Obama, Edwards, or Richardson [5]. But more disturbingly, unlike Obama and Edwards, she freely accepts money from corporate PAC's and lobbyists [6]. Clearly these donors must believe that Hillary Clinton will support their interests if elected. And while Hillary Clinton did try to reform the health care system 15 years ago, the fact that she has now become the largest recipient of health industry dollars in the senate [6] makes me wonder if she would act with much boldness on that issue as president. But perhaps the most worrying source of Hillary Clinton's recent fundraising is none other than the owner of Fox News, Rupert Murdoch, who hosted a fundraiser for her last summer [7]. I can understand it from Murdoch's point of view: of course he'd prefer to have a Republican win in 2008, but that looks difficult, so it makes sense to also support the Democrat who is least threatening to his ideology and interests.

Of course, Hillary Clinton's ties to conservative corporate elements don't end there. She served on the board of directors of WalMart from 1986 to 1992, a time when that company was expanding, along with its union-busting policies and dismal wages without health care [8]. And it's said that Hillary Clinton "was a part of those decisions". The campaign staff she has surrounded herself with are even more entwined in the interests of big business. Her top pollster, who has worked on Enron-style energy deregulation, continues to work for a very un-progressive PR firm which has helped tobacco companies fight new regulation and coached companies on how to resist unionization efforts [6]. Can Independents be blamed if they view Hillary Clinton as a continuation of the same dysfunctional and special interest controlled government that we have endured for much longer than just the last seven years?

If the picture I paint above seems to contrast with the public image Hillary Clinton has tried to cultivate, that's a big part of the problem. Who is the real Hillary Clinton? Character and trust go a long way toward winning the votes of many Independents, and I think this is where many people are uncertain about Hillary Clinton. From her I hear carefully rehearsed and crafted soundbites, lacking in both substance and sincerity. I would like to see a woman president in the near future, but I think American women deserve a better first president than Hillary Clinton. Even though I don't like any of the likely Republican candidates, I wouldn't vote for Hillary Clinton either, and the numbers suggest I'm not the only one who finds her lacking in authenticity. Hillary Clinton is unelectable as a presidential candidate, and probably for good reason. I hope that Democrats will think very carefully about the merit and the consequences of nominating her in 2008 before they make their decision.

Clinton: Obama 'irresponsible' & 'naive'

Faye North, PA — Tue, 24 Jul 2007 20:17:11 GMT

Obama is the most intelligent, sincere, thoughtful presidental candidate in the race. I would call his comments refreshing, and representative of powerful change for the better that a Barack Obama administration would create. Obama does not play in the mud like the Hilary camp...we do not need more of the Clinton-Bush legacy....we need an outsider and Barack is the right person at the right time....Democrats are being fooled into losing by following Hilary; Republicans are grinning behind their backs because she will never win in a general election...Obama on the other hand will WIN...if only Dems open their eyes!!!

Why are we forced to listen 2 years in advance to all this jibberish?? Before Bush leaves office, the terrorists are going to try another attack to embarress him one last time. If they do, it will ensure that neither of these clowns gets elected since the Democrats would only want a hug, and the Republicans will want to Slug!! Libertarians, anyone?

The man was right to say it the way he said it. I would rather have a bunch of idiots talk smack over a radio or tv about how glorious their 3rd world regime is than have to put boots on the ground to hold some ridiculous territory. Truth of the matter some of our own friends think the US is a silly empire and are waiting for the day we fall flat. (Never will happen) Truth is if we had a different mindset about about US power we would truly be a force because everyone would respect our true power. That power is actually the application of freedom and trust me everyone wants to be free.

I am sick and tired of Hillary Clinton and her adoptive style of "politricks." Lets face it I cant imagine Bill Clinton Being First Man, come on, thats like going from promotion to demotion.Obama has a better vision for the country, though I doubt he will become president...Hillary sucks, and its all an act. Has anyone forgot how she pretended to stand by her man during her torrid affairs, instead of leaving him, as an example to all men who cheat. I guess she would do ANYTHING to become president. Come on, Hikkary, frget the White House. I know you loooooooooved living there, but your time has been up ages ago.

Tim Bienvenue, New Orleans, LA — Tue, 24 Jul 2007 20:17:53 GMT

This is nonsense - Obama is naive, but Hillary is naive also. Unfortunately, the republicans will win the next presidential election, most likely with Giuliani. It is too bad the democrats cannot come up with better candidates than these, as I am concerned about the fact that "we the people" are quickly losing all of our civil liberties.

Obama did not have a rehearsed answer for this question, and to be honest it is not always best to sound like such a politician. Especially for a YouTube debate that featured a snowman asking a question about Global Warming. When did she get the impression this was time to be so serious? Clinton needs to stop telling other Democrats what to think, or creating a Democrat version of GOP 'talking points'. If DEMs wanted this, they would be voting GOP. She is off target with these comments.

For those who think being president is a man's job, think about this... who really wore the pants in your family growing up. I know for a fact, since I lost my mother at a very young age, that the woman is really the one who runs the family and keeps things running smoothly. So don't be fooled naive boys... women already have proven that we can do big jobs... we've raised you haven't we. Too bad you listen to all the lies and don't give women respect for all we contribute to this great world. I don't know who I'll be voting for yet, but I certainly won't be narrow minded when it comes time to push that lever. Man or woman, the best person needs to be decided on the issues.

Dave Bronx, New York — Tue, 24 Jul 2007 20:18:56 GMT

Manny Calvin you are an obvious women hater and you probably think you're straight as well. Women are good for birthing babies and cooking your dinner? Bush is supposed to be a man, albeit a cowardly man but he's proven to be the worst president this country has ever seen why not give a woman the reins and see what she can do. You probably subscribe to the "barefoot and pregnant" philosophy. It's attitudes like yours that has helped to keep women repressed. Do you have your woman walking 10 paces behind you wearing a black veil on her head? You don't deserve to even have the right to vote. We need a leader with a brain and less testosterone.

Clinton: Obama 'irresponsible' & 'naive'

C. Mcghie — Tue, 24 Jul 2007 20:19:01 GMT

"He likened the position to a continuation of the Bush administration diplomatic policies,"

this is exactly why I support Obama over Clinton. Hilary is just like Bush but on the opposite side of the political spectrum. She seems bound and determined to make all of the same mistakes Bush has made, unilateral decision making, self alienating foreign policy, partisan domestic political mindset.

Lou Anderson — Tue, 24 Jul 2007 20:19:43 GMT

I think one of Barak's strong points is his confidence to engage anyone on any subject. He is not afraid to talk to anyone. I surely did not take his response to the question of meeting with other leaders without any pre-conditions as a sign of weakness, naivete or irresponsibility. What I heard was a man confident of himself and willing to listen to the other side to explore. If the leaders on the opposite side take him for a fool they do so at their own risk. The stick is always available to Barak if needed. Candidates who think he would be taken advantage of only reveal their own weakness.
We need this kind of person as president not only to deal with the world but to deal with the bigger problem we've had in congress where Republicans don't talk to Democrats and Democrats don't talk to Republicans with the end result of nothing getting done. He is a refreshing voice in a sea of politicians who say what they think the people want to hear instead of speaking their minds. We saw plenthy of this during the debate.

The simple truth is that Mrs. Clinton is the most internationally experienced candidate from either party.

Hilary disppointed me a little bit.I have come to realize that she would rather be right than reasonable! Politics of appeasement are what has spoiled the integrity of real politics of "bread and butter" for the masses. Obama on the other hand should not allow himself to be drawn in petty politics. He should instead emulate leaders like Jimmy and Bill who were genuinely interested and worked tirelessly to improve the Middle East relations by meeting Yasser Arafat and the Israeli Prime minister.

Either one of these two will be disasterous for our foreign policy. I haven't heard a concrete plan from either on any subject. Obama standard policy statement is "we can do better". Every statement from Clinton finds fault with the Bush administation. They had both better discover very soon that Bush is not running for office in 2008.

Hillary Clinton would have been attacked had she made the mistake that Obama did. I think that she responded in an experienced way that proves her qualifications as president. She did very well last night in providing direct answers that were honest and personable. Obama also did well, but why is everyone up in arms over her criticism of Obama, yet no one takes issue when he pushes her on her vote for Iraq. This is politics and these candidates need to prove how they are stronger than their opponents. And I believe that Hillary Clinton is stronger than Obama right now. She will make a great president, and I think her being a female will not limit her in any way and I happy to see that most Americans take no issue with her gender, despite what they believe about her politics.

It seems to me that all MSNBC has responding to their blogs are bunch of male chauvinists! Manny - it is offensive to us "ladies" and hope if you have children - they are not girls or young women! You stated that it is not a "woman's job" - I haven't seen Mr. Bush doing a great job and last I checked he was a man - not much of one but still a man.

And as far as the statement from Bush Republican... "The woman's a charlatan" - you have no right to call a leader of our country such names. We have the right to our own opinions and have plenty of slanderous words that I could call Mr.
Bush but I keep them to myself - as should you.

You people just can handle a woman who is well educated (way smarter probably than any of you that are responding in this blog!), articulate and is not afraid to speak her mind.

Besides, any democratic candidate or president (woman or man) would be better than the republican leadership we have had to endure since 2000.

She has been working in the public arena, helping the less fortunate and children and women for decades. She was first lady, now a two-term Senator from New York. She is Ready To Lead. And I am ready to vote for her. Go HILLARY! Obama, your fine, but it's not your time to be president, yet...maybe vice president? It will put you in line, and give you some "maturing" time.

this is typical Hillary Clinton oliticking. She cannot be trusted as we have seen over the brief campaign. She refuses to admit her mistakes (iraq war vote) and she tries to go after others negatively when she should be trying to solidify her position. I think Hillary is in for a big fall from grace sometime soon. Barack is too classy for her. She fears him cause he's smarter, more direct and has better handlers. If he's not the best man in this race for the job i'll eat my head.

The people they appoint will tell the story. Hilary wins, Bill is back. Obama wins, you will see more cross party associations. Hilary already has many enemies from Bill and her own past. If Hilary can avoid talking about how she allowed her husband to cheat on her, she has the advantage. How can she look the American woman in the eye as a leader and encourage strength, freedom individual forward thinking?

If Obama can avoid having anyone but himself speak on his behalf (ie no wife in the picture) he has the advantage. Obama will need a southern democrat to help him win the southern vote. Edwards is the likely candidate to help Obama. His run at Leadership is over. We heard his story and America is over it's love crush of the Carolina lawyer.

I cannot agree with the statement that a woman would not make a good president - women all over the world have done extremely well as leaders - BUT I am afraid that I can agree that Mrs. Clinton is NOT the person to lead this country. We really need an honest (Yea right!) person in the office. One that can get away from all of the big businesses that contribute to their war chests and expect 'favors' in return. The only problem with that is an honest person could never get elected -

Hillary, is in it for Hillary. Don't get in her way that's when people disappear. She is a socialist who believes in a "New World Order" which would of course position her for an even grander stage. Her motto is undoubtedly, "the end justifies the means". As for Bill he's always been the puppet.

Both Hilary and Obama are relatively green when it comes to leadership. I understand the Hilary's husband did well during his terms and that the country was running just as... but her last name does not define what she will do in 2008.
Obama leading by example, and that can only help so much. Its like a kid watching tv and imitating what he sees, only a few things work in real life. As much as I cared for Clinton HIMself, I am not to sure about his gung-ho/voted for the war wife. I would prefer the husband to return then have his wife in in place. Bush, clintion, bush, clinton, - i'd rather not see the patern. But I would rather have someone with a great deal of leadership then those 2.

It doesn't matter what gender, race or religion anyone is as long as they can run this country like a business! That means they need to make a REAL budget & stick to it and that should probably mean that a lot of programs should be cut or cut out. That could mean turning certain things over to private companies or what ever else it takes, but, of course, that can't be done by any President unless he/she can convince Congress. The first thing that needs to be done is to SECURE OUR BORDERS! The people in Washington have no idea what the illegals are REALLY doing to this country! I don't think I can every vote for Hillary and I am basically a democrat. At least Obama hasn't been in Washington long enough to become completely corrupt! Also, follow the money and see who is contributing to whom. Right now, I don't think any of the ones running, democrat or republician, are good choices!

The Bush Administration's refusal to talk to anyone on the evil side, as some have called idealistic, I call it dangerously unrealistic." --Hillary Clinton, October 31, 2006 at the Cuoncil of Foreign Relations. How easily we forget the things we say about others. It seems Mrs. Hillary Clinton needs to go back an review any statements prior to lashing out on someone else. Obama has way to much class to bash her for being irresponsible and naive her self. I'm sure he has the right stuff to keep the Democratic Party strong without bad mouthing Hillary in the process. Vote for Obama.

First of all to say that Hillary Clinton should not be in high office is an insult to all women politicians. Second of all neither one has that much experience with Clinton having a slight edge. Senator Obama hasn't even fufilled his duties as an Illinois senator yet and is trying to capture lighting in a bottle because of his new found celebrity. Can you all see whats going on here it's not about the issues it's about the lesser of two evils. A democrat will be the next President and the mess they have to clean up will tarnish the legacy of the First woman or the First african American president.

Althought I htink they both have an agenda, I do think that Obama is a little naive. My problem with him is that he doesn't have the political background that he needs to be the next president. I do like him, but if only Colin Powell would have run! He would knock them all out of the play.

I think that all the country felt bad for Mrs. Clinton when it came out that former President Clinton had cheated on her. That seniment no longer holds true for her now considering some of the shrewd remarks that she has be alledged to have said recently.

When the Democratic race started, I thought that it would be refreshing having a woman in the race because her presence might cause everybody to tone down their rhetoric. However, she has become the "ring leader".

efor elmo Seattle WA — Tue, 24 Jul 2007 20:26:40 GMT

Obama’s comment was naïve and it does show his inexperience. There are very clear and important reasons for not opening direct talks between heads of state of countries with whom we have not had diplomatic relations in the past. Low level talks play a critical role in opening diplomatic channels. They set a context for future talks and establish a framework which will lead to more stability down the road. They are better at creating a sense of give and take that is below the media spotlight. They provide the President and the foreign head of state an opportunity to reset the tone of the relationship if things start to go badly. All experienced diplomats know this. Obama is a smart man and I suspect that his comment was more about scoring political points than a policy statement. However, if we take him at his word, and we should, statements like that make him look immature. Someday he will make an excellent president. He is simply not ready yet.

I think Obama is right. He had the nerve to stand up and say that we need to talk. Diplomacy calls for that. That's a new idea. We need to formulate dialogue with the leaders of all nations. You've got a lot of spunk Hill, but I think you have missed the message as well as the boat. We the people of the United States want a refreshing leader that isn't afraid the poll numbers will drop. A true leader wouldn't worry about such things anyway when we have fellow citizens dying in a foreign land at the hands of zealots.

Debate is healthy, but only when the facts debated are legitimate. How can you actually debate a theoretical? Reading through this string of responses is further proof that we are a nation divided, not united. If you look at the underlying message of each political candidate, you will find only one candidate that is willing to cross party lines and try to bring our country back to being the United States of America. That candidate is Barack Obama. Unfortunately, unless we are willing to try to get along with each other, it doesn't matter who is President because WE are the ones who will be responsible for stopping progress. WE will be the ones responsible for the fall of our future generations.

Hillary was accurate in insisting on the existence of quantifiable deliverables before she would agree to a meeting. This is just a good strategy to have. I am sure that she could send VP Obama to iron out the details.

I started out saying “anyone but Hillary”; however, with every debate, she shows how well prepared she really is.

I think that both Hillary and Obama have a lot to learn about what the American public actually needs and wants. It is amazing that Hillary can 'recall' or 'remember' anything. As I recall during the whole Whitewater case, she and Bill could not recall or remember anything, but when it came to writing Bill's memoirs for 2 or 3 million dollars, it is amazing how much they could remember, or is that only selective memory based on dollars? Do the American people not read or research any of these canidates and see what they lack in so many areas? America will be a scary place to live if Hillary or Obama get into office. It will be just like during the Vietnam War with all the draft dodgers trying to get into Canada so they didn't have to fight in the war, only this time it will be to get away from the 2 most unqualified, inept politicians out there. If you think that Bush is bad, these 2 are worst. Read and research people and then you will see the truth.

His proclaimation was meant to answer a direct question with a direct reply. That's what was great about the format last night. It was a call for honesty. As for the intrigue associated with facing dark characters you distrust and might seek to take advantage, well that's takes courage. Showing courage is by no means a publicity stunt.

Let people see how low Hillary will go to get what she wants. Let people see that she is no better than the sack currently occupying the White House.

She is actually correct. Obama's comments are naive. Sitting down to chat with people who only want to distroy you is not going to solve anything. There are some people you sit down and work things out with, and there are others you just can't. Hugo is not one of those rational types. On the other hand, Hillary will say anything that she thinks will play with the current audience.

Yes, he's the man that can eagerly get the job done right. Now for all those knuckleheads out there who voted our current president that whiskey drinking dingbat (yes, trust me Bush still drinks) back into office for a second term must be kicking themselves in the rear by now. He is nothing more than a cold blooded killer as well as his counterpart Cheney. Remember, these two idiots are currently running our country.

As for the troops overseas...someone PLEEEEEEEEASE bring them back home to their families & loved ones safe and sound. This country has already lost way too many dedicated and brave young souls due to Bush's stupidy and ignorance.

It's time to stop his insane madness once and for all.

Also, for all those dummies bashing Ms. Clinton simply because she's a woman all I can say is just remember, a woman brought you into this world. So who says a woman can't run our messed up country. I tell you one thing for sure, I'd bet the US would no longer participate in wars if a woman were in charge!!!!!!!!!

Obama just deoesn't think faster than Hillary---he should have stated that first there would be planning prepared with his cabinet.If being the president is just a man's job guess Bush is a drag queen.There are women leaders all over the world and they all make the man Bush look like a stupid jerk.A woman would be a needed change.But I must say all the Dems were on the mark

Obama is a breath of fresh air and I am saying that, although I am a conservative republican.

I think Obama answered the question well. The question was whether he was going to meet with ... . The answer should have been YES or NO. These stupid people should just keep quiet. Obviously Hillary and her team are just looking for some air time. They just want to be in the news.

Meanwhile, did Hillary say she has been an agent of change for 35 yrs...how old is she anyway? She must really think everybody is dumb! She is as inexperience as Obama. Being the wife of the president is not the same as being the president.

And Manny? She's probably doing a hell of a lot better than you would be doing. And she's a woman. Wow! Even India elected their first woman president, it's people like you who hold women down everywhere.

This was pretty inappropriate of Clinton in my opinion--the purpose of a debate is to articulate your beliefs and opinions and to show fault in others'. By attacking Obama in a way where he couldn't readily respond and defend himself, she ultimately makes herself look petty and cheap.

I think the RIGHT woman can do the job. Look at Margaret THatcher and the working reputation she had with diplomats and other governments, and at home also.

Leadership doesn't involve making disparaging comments about opponents. Discuss the ideas, not the personalities! At times it seems that the real leaders don't want to deal with politics. My grandmother used to say, "Lie down with dogs, get up with fleas!"

Hilary is a 2 face hypocrite. Would anybody stay with a cheating husband if it was not for politricks? Obama stutters way to much when he talks. And both candidates are better than Bush. People dont realize how bad the current administration has been. They are too busy getting brainwashed. Kids in middle school in Europe are doing calculus and complex geometry while college students in the states are doing basic algebra if not basic math. America is turning into the "LAND OF IDIOTS" just like their president.

Chris Stoner, Catonsville, MD — Tue, 24 Jul 2007 20:38:33 GMT

What is with all of the anger in these responses?

This is one country, one United States… there are 300 million Americans, with many varying views and opinions… who all tend to share the same basic desires, with differing opinions of how to accomplish.

Most of my friends are Republican.. Myself I am a Democrat, and am sure I will be voting for Mrs. Clinton next November - unless Mr. Gore suddenly feels compelled to enter the race.

That said, even if my candidate wins.. There will be no mandate, as roughly 1/2 of the voting populace will have opposed.

The same thing is true if the Republican candiate wins…

When are we going to get past some of the rethoric, and address the issues that plague this country??

My Dad taught me when I was a young boy, that if you have two people arguing vastly differing opinions, that the truth usually lays somewhere in the middle.

Take the opinions from either side, and find the common ground…

I would agree with both of their statements. As a leader of the free world, I expect the President, after conferring with his/her staff to meet with leaders whom we may disagree with.

Edward Checker Bethesda, Maryland — Tue, 24 Jul 2007 20:39:59 GMT

Hilary is really saying that Obama was naive to vote against the Iraq war. Obama was brave and honest to stand up to all of the patriotic, drum-beating paranoia. We never should have occupied an Arab country with an American army. Our army killed a lot of Arabs and even drove Iraqi girls into prostitution. It's also naive to believe that people do not want revenge for that. Regarding naivete, it's naive to believe Hilary cares about the troops. Why should she? She doesn't have any of her own sons.

Clinton: Obama 'irresponsible' & 'naive'

Eric Steiner, Daly City, California — Tue, 24 Jul 2007 20:40:19 GMT

If she had never been "first lady", Hilary would be a total nobody. I think the US is ready for a female president but only one who has earned her creditials in her own right, not one whose only claim to fame is having been married to a president. Look what happened when George Bush was elected. His only claim to fame was being the son of a former president. I will never vote for Hilary. I think I probably would vote for Ombama. So far, I have been impressed by what he has to say but I want to hear more about what he will do if elected. Too bad he is so short on national experience, but he is starting to emerge as the best of the announced candidates.

Clinton: Obama 'irresponsible' & 'naive'

P.A., Seattle, WA — Tue, 24 Jul 2007 20:40:26 GMT

I agree with what Clinton said to the Council of Foreign Relations, but obviously forgot. "Direct Negotiations (with enemy states) are not a sign of weakness; they are a sign of leadership." "The Bush Administration's refusal to talk to anyone on the evil side, as some have called idealistic, I call it dangerously unrealistic."

I want a President who is strong enough and wise enough to engage our opponents in something more beneficial and thought provoking than war. As far as propaganda goes, our invasion and occupation of Iraq is providing far more propaganda to the enemy than any one on one talks would provide.

Mr. Obama has my vote, even though I would like to see a woman President, at long last.

Anthony, San Diego, CA — Tue, 24 Jul 2007 20:43:11 GMT

I believe that we elect Presidents to lead our country. I believe that they generally try to do good things since we are a Christian nation and Christians make a valid attempt to help those in need. President Bush has made a great attempt to do the right thing. In the event that people of this nation study cultural diversity, they will see that there are many people from many cultures in this counrty, so, President Bush cannot possibly please everyone with every decision. As President, the right to meet with leaders as necessary is His, so if he chooses to meet or not with radical leaders, all I can do is support his decisions because I understand that he has a council of wise people to draw advice from prior to making decisions. I believe that the President has the ability to form a bright and proper team to surround him and he must rely on their input to run this country, I think we often forget that no man or woman knows everything, and needs others to succeed. Being in the military, we have to make decisions and work as a team to accomplish our mission. It would behoove this country to do the same. United we stand, divided we fall. We must support our leaders in order to succeed as a nation. So, whether Hilary of Obama would meet with World Leaders is not an issue to me, whether they have the guts to use our all volunteer force (myself included) to defend our freedom is a valid issue for me. Freedom is not free, 4500 years of recorded wars throughout human history teaches us that man has always had conflict and always will. Wise people study history and can often predict the future through it. The real issue is, will we be a safe nation with either candidate in office, I know we are with George Bush.

She wasn't a sitting around, playing hostess and looking pretty kind of First Lady - she was very involved in her husband's presidency. And that's a strength that puts her above the rest of these candidates.

Fred W. Higgenbottom, Fletcher, NC — Tue, 24 Jul 2007 20:44:54 GMT

The practice of personal attack for political gain turns the stomach of most "thinking" American voters.

The recent Presidential debates have steadily degenerated into "one upmanship" and sound bites disguised as dialogue. Unfortunately such shrill and backward behavior isn't confined to just Democrats. Candidates from both political parties regularly engage in such behavior. Don't politicians realize that pursuing this type of destructive behavior only alienates intelligent people? It also diminishes the respect that the rest of the world has for America, the democratic process, the high office of President.

Most Americans want serious Presidential candidates from both parties to focus upon what they would do to confront the serious issues that currently face this country and not engage in the practice of personal attack of the beliefs held by other candidates. I only hope that this type of disappointing behavior will be clearly remembered in the privacy of voting booths during November.

Let’s right-size the issue and adequately assess the politics. A foreign policy exchange during a nationally televised debate by presidential candidates is not insignificant. Hilary obviously got the better of it, and that’s why she’s hyping it. Obama knows he got bested, and that’s why he’s downplaying it. What’s the significance? By November 2008 it’ll be no more than a dot on a very long line. But right now that dot matters a tiny bit, because money and activists are lining up behind candidates. Obama’s got an uphill battle. He needs all the momentum he can get. Between now and the primaries, he’s got to outscore Hilary every chance he gets. Last night he didn’t get it done. He’ll have other chances. But the biggest winner last night was Al Gore, because every time these midgets line up, he's that much more attractive.

At this point either Obama or Clinton would be a great relief as President after enduring the 8 years of Pres. Bush & his administration.
President Bush has not accomplished a single positive domestic change while in office, he's ruined the United States reputation world wide!!

For all of the people that are trying to put intelligent comments on here, just a word of advice. Learn how to spell! It's 'axis' not 'axes', I'm not even a Hillary fan but I know that her middle name is 'Rodham' not 'Rodman'. The list goes on....

The 'voters' that are represented by these comments are for the most part, not people I want helping decide the future of this country.

Wow everyone...this election is going to be very interesting. My only hope is, that with the new leader, things wouldn't change dramatically, but gradually.

First of all...Barack Obama is is probably the least qualified candidate and although I do not support Clinton, I agree with her statement that Obama is quite naive.

Considering our stance in the world, and our relations with foreign nations, we need someone who has experience. Whether our relations with these nations are legit is not the question.

Um, I'm not defending Bush by any means but after seeing some on here attack him the way they have let's just remember that Saddam was shooting at our boys for nearly 10 years in the no fly zones and breaking every sanction in the book before we finally said enough and went to war.

Two, just in case no one has listened closely enough, Hillary is preaching Socialism at it's finest at almost every stop on her campaign tours. What's scary is that almost no one has noticed. Keep those ears open everyone.

Why is it that everytime there is a thread about Barack and Clinton, somehow someone manages to put Colin Powell in the picture. Because Powell is intellectual, likable, and BLACK?

Tell it like it T.I. is. Powell WOULD have been a formidable Dem candidate, but his image was tarnished because he backed the Bush Administration in saying that there WERE weapons of mass distruction to be found, but WERE'NT.

,...and I DARE any Dem or Rep voter on these boards to say anything other than that. Keep in mind many of Bush's cabinet that DID NOT want to be a part of his second term.

As for Barack,....people will see Hillary's true colors soon, which would make Barack more likable than he is now.

Mark my words,.....there WILL be a Dem president this next term. The American people are tired of what the last Rep president did, and their children are either suffering or died in the desert,....but that's a whole 'nother ball of wax half of you folks wont even touch,.....

I agree with the person who said Hillary and most of the other candidates are too old school. I think that the BabyBoomers have wrecked this country with their partisan divisive politics that seek to keep arguments going instead of solving problems. Those saying Obama lacks experience say that like experience in that high of office is an easy thing to get. NO-ONE running for President has experience as the President so what are you really saying? You're buying into the psychology of the past and that, to me is the biggest problem we face as a nation. Vision is what we need. Take a long look at Obama's response to the reparations question and you will see someone who thinks beyond the status quo and has a vision. I weep for our country because alot of the reasons you people are citing as reasons not to vote for Obama are idiotic AT BEST.

Does Obama not a lot of experience? NO, of course he doesn't but all that means to me is that he hasn't had as much time to be AS corrupted as the rest of them.

Give me someone that wants to these things and they'll get my vote:
1. Introduce term limits
2. NO pork barrel spending

5. Spending limit on presidential elections

Manny - you are a chauvinistic pig. Grow up - we have males currently in power and they (Bush and the dark lord Cheney) are the least suited to it.

Hillary may have experience, but diplomacy is about talking, and Barack has it right - we need to speak to get to the place where we can start making compromise. It would be nice to have someone who can be diplomatic in the Oval Office - not someone who wants all the difficult compromises to be done before they start talking.

All this buzz here about the term 'leadership.' Isn't that what this current Administration tried to campaign on? Has that red-flag word caught your imagination so much? We need someone who not only leads but can form compromise, have conversations, and help the world, not just the US's national interests.

Just keep saying leadership, and denying diplomacy, and watch us end up balls-deep in North Korea and Iran and God-knows-where-else, with another incompetent 'decisive leader' in the White House.

Hillary look like Bush by backing up his policies.

People that are holding the fact that she voted for the war needs to remember when they have done something that the regreted in their life. If we knew then what we found out later we would not have done the stupid thing. She has admitted that she voted on the war based on the information she had at the time. As far as the issue of experience yes both her and Obama have not got the experience of being the president but what president did when the won their first election. She at least does have some insite of how things are ran in the White House.

Huh. My previously submitted post seems to have not been posted. I hope it was lost in the crush and not held back as it wasn't any more offensive than what our friends Jerry, Dave, et al have spouted into this thread. Anyway, here goes again...

What hasn't been mentioned, so far as I can tell (sorry, I stopped reading the thread after the guy who claimed that the Presidency is for men only) is the context of the question that was asked.

The question was centered around President Sadat's visit to Israel in 1977. That meeting was without conditions and had only the vague adgenda of conciliation.

***The result of this diplomatic step was a peace treaty between Israel and Egypt that has stood to this day!***

The only thing irresponsible and naive is thinking that the world's strife can only be solved through millitary force. For a Presidential candidate to say otherwise merely ensures that they will not receive my vote.

As a Republican, I think I could probably be about as impartial as it get in a Dem debate, so here's my two cents: Regardless of which candidate you support, don't overlook what happened here. Obama made a comment that could be easily criticised and capitalized upon. This is not what I would expect of a President. Clinton outfoxed him in this case, there's no point in trying to spin it.

It seems that a lot of people fail to see either for who they truly are. Democrats have no platform or issues that they can truly deine as solutions to their problems and they both ignore what's at stake here. Instead of paying attention to the major issues concerning our country, they are waging their own war for supremacy and power in the federal government. It is not Congress' job to run the military or set foreign policy. Their job is to legislate and be a part of the checks and balances for the three parts that make up our federal system, not have the only say in what is right or wrong. How many issues other than the Iraq war and a half-hearted attempt at immigration have the Democrats resolved since being elected a majority? Not very many, if any at all!! How much bi-partisanship have they demonstrated isnce being elected a majority? Zero!!! And you want to elect one of these whiny senators the leader of our nation? For decades, the Democratic party has touted itself as being for the people and yet, has deceived the peoplefor that very same reason. They were the party in power during Viet Nam but it took a Republican president to bring the troops home. None of them balked when our troop size got escalated largely by a draft which has not been the case for the current war. 3600+ is small in comparison to 50,000+ military men and women to die in Nam and a lot of them were forced to go by the draft. This war is in its fourth year while the Dems started with President Kennedy and it finally was ended by Nixon, a republican. Back to the caandidates, neither has the experience to run a war and the first thing they will do is order a retreat from our enemies. Slick Willie can't wait to get back in the White House and you can bet he'll be up to his usual tricks. Wake up and smell the coffee, America!! With either of them, hard times are coming!

Jayson, Boston — Tue, 24 Jul 2007 20:56:34 GMT

Hillary is absolutely right on this issue. I think her answer showed that she has a deeper understanding of what it takes to deal with rogue leaders throughout the world. Some of you are implying that Hillary doesn't want to engage in diplomacy or that she'll refuse to have discussions with these leaders. That is a gross misrepresentation of what she actually said in last night's debate. She said she wouldn't PROMISE to meet with them in the first YEAR in office - that is completely different. She has consistently said throughout all of the debates (and I've watched all of them) and even before the debates that she believes diplomacy is the most important aspect of regaining our crediblility, respect and standing in the world. However, she was right to point out that Obama's statement (while in theory great) was somewhat naive and it shows that she has a firmer grasp on the realities of the world and the realities of being commander-in-chief. For those of you who are saying this is just an extension of Bush-style diplomacy (or, I would say lack thereof) that is absolute lunacy. She is not even close to being in the same ballpark as Bush's reckless foreign "policy"/non-diplomatic efforts. In my opinion, she is the best qualified, positioned, and able to be president. I think many of you know it, but you refuse to admit it because you've been led to believe the mischaracterizations about her that have been beaten over ours heads for years with character assassination and innuendo. This all being said, I like Obama. I think he's an incredible asset to the Democratic Party. I just wish he was a little more experienced.

I really am worried now, after reading these comments about the debate, of which I missed. These are voting folks? What IS important to you? Wake up Americans! Don't be so blind to the state of affairs our country is in. This is a very dangerous time. We need more than ever to have someone in office with experience in dealing with both our affairs at home and this tangled web our current commander in chief has spun for us. It will take someone with a clear head & experience to get America back on track. Keep on sleeping & exhausting your energy with nonsense, & we'll be caught totally unprepared for the dangers that await us with an inexperienced president. The republicans have shown us what they are all about, and Clinton is the only level headed Dem. that can truly take us in the right direction. America is playing right into the hands of our enemy; man / woman / republican / democrat / white / black -- it doesn't matter; we need someone with some serious experience. I am amazed at how America is asleep.

people easily forget about the CLINTONS when they were in ARKANSAS. A woman opted to spend time in jail, somebody committed suicide because of guilt while in jail - all these to protect the CLINTONS. When Mr. CLINTON was president, he appointed Mrs. CLINTON to work on the HEALTH CARE SYSTEM to make it simple and affordable for everybody. What happened? When the system was messed up and in disarray, she disappeared and nothing was heard from then on. Now medical insurance is so expensive and complicated. Also, from ARKANSAS to NEW YORK, first as senator now as presidential aspirant, it was all calculated moves.

AL Gore is the only person who can take us out of the Iraq mess and all the other political mess we are in right now. He can take the country in the right direction you know why because he is the one person got real experience that no one can challenge. Hillary and Obama doesn't have experience as an executive/decision maker. If any one of them is elected he/she will be a puppet just like Bush. President with no powers and the decision maker will be someone else just like now Cheney is the decision maker.

I am a Republican, however, I appreciate the fact that Hillary Clinton is the most informed, realistic and qualified candidate on US foreign policy. I'll vote for Rudy but Hillary is a serious and very qualified contender. Hillary is right about Obama. He is Naive when it comes to Foreign Policy. I believe he is a good person and is sincere but probably not qualified to be President. But we have elected individuals who are qualified to be President in the past....

She's playing the dirty politics game with mud slinging and he's not. I'm a Republican who can see it will most likely be a Democrat winning in 2008 and I want that person to be Obama.

What are you people saying, that this is no job for a woman? Hillary Clinton may have faults, but on her worst day, she and the other candidates have more sense and perspective about the state of this country than our current president has or will ever have. It's like people are blind to his arrogance and unwillingness to listen to the very ones whom he was elected to represent. Personnally, I don't think the person exists that can straighten out the mess in this country. I wouldn't want the job.

Barrack Hussien Obama isn't just naive, he's dangerous. When has diplomacy EVER worked? Libs keeps pretending it's the best way, it's not unless it's backed up by force. World learders will eat him alive - just like they did Carter. Talk about lack of respect. It's okay the world hates President Bush -- they also respect him and wouldn't try anything as foolish as they do when Democrats are in charge.

Considering the embarassment sitting in the currently sitting White House, and the Republicans in Congress who are more interested in partisanship and ideology than truth and effectual leadership, I don't think commenting on any Democratic candidate ultimately really matters. How this nation could have fallen as far as it has under the misleadership of Bush and the Republicans, especially considering the quality of leadership our nation grew accustomed to in the likes of Kennedy and Eisenhower just a couple of generations ago, is profoundly humiliating as an American. How could Hilary Clinton or Barack Obama possibly be so bad, considering that there's no conceivable way things could be worse than this insidious disease known as the Bush administration?

Neither Mr. Obama nor Hillary have what it takes to lead our country at this particular time due to their inexperience dealing with international terrorism or the emergence of rogue nations, including Russia. Regardless of Hillary's connections in the past I do not feel that she can run our intelligence agencies nor our military when the time comes for serious action. The same with Mr. Obama. He hasn't been in politics or on the world stage long enough either. We could be in for a long, tough, horrible fight, one that could cost us dearly if mishandled.

The Marxist Billary is a chameleon and takes on the color that she needs at the time. One has to feel some sympathy for the old Democrats, they just don't realize that the Clintons hijacked their party and is using the Democrats as a store front for their socialist agendas. NATIONAL SOCIALISM, POLITICAL CORRECTNESS, does that sound familiar? Read the Nazi manifesto and the foundation of the Gestapo. The only true Democrat was Joe Lebermann and the Clintons tried to railroad him, but it backfired. Socialists scream at the top of their lungs and shout people down (Rosie Odonnel) because they fear what others might say. Socio-Marxists are a cancer in these United States and are hell bent on divide and conquer.

Gotta love how she never actually gives an answer to any qustion put in front of her. Every single time it's "well I might do it, but I also might not." I've watched the debates, and not once have I caught her answering a question by actually stating her stance on anything. Never have I heard anyone use such wordplay and avoid all the issues while still maintaining so much support. She bashes every other candidate while avoiding giving her stances on anything in an attempt to keep people who feel differently from turning on her. Imagine what would happen if she actually became the president. Her choices would only reflect what the people who happen to be around her at the time want, just to make them support her. She'd probably start pardoning criminals just like Slick Willy, all for the money and added support. If Obama had given a complete 180 degree answer and said he wouldn't meet with them, Clinton would have bashed that answer to. And just look at how, right after insulting his answer, she still refused to actually state her position on the matter, giving the "maybe yes, maybe no" answer she always does. She might even be worse than her husband, which I thought would never happen. I wonder which one taught the other to be such a con artist.

No President since Kennedy has met Castro! What effective non-meetings those have been! Castro has continued to run Cuba during the terms of Kennedy, Johnson, Nixon, Ford, Carter, Reagan, Bush, Clinton, Bush. And Castro is still the darling of left wingers so he is hardly isolated. Yet George Bush went to Vietnam and met the folks who killed more than 55,000 Americans and who violated the 1972 Paris Accords by invading Vietnam? And Bush just recongized Moammar Qaddafi despite the fact that his agents were convicted in a court of law of planning the explosion on the Pan Am flight over Lockerbie. And yeah, just a couple of weeks ago Bush had his good buddy Putin over to the family estate for some fishing despite Putin's links to thugs and killers in Russia and his nastiness in Georgia and Checnya and his seizure of private property. Gee, if Obama decided he had to meet some unsavoury folks in order to further US national security, he certainly would be setting a new low!

Lee, I didn't take Obama's reponse to mean that he would just walk in completely unprepared and just shoot the s**t. This is not a man who is going to go blindly into anything (unlike our current "leadership"). As for Hillary attacking him on this I think it comes at an excellent time where we can see who's talking about being different and who's ready to really BE different. No, no other president has sat down with Castro or Iran, but maybe we start exploring the possiblity that it might be a good idea to show that America is not just a country full of bombs, but that we can engage in a constructive dialogue as well. By using the fact that no other president has been open to these talks leads me to ask this question, where has it gotten us? It's time for someone who wants to do it differently. If Hillary gets the nod, of course I'll back her. God forbid we have more right wing crazies running the country. However, we as Dems need to get away from what is comfortable (Clinton) and start backing the candidate that is demanding the same changes we are, namely Obama.

That is the objective of playing political games, which if you remember was exactly what Senator Clinton was asked how she was going to stop.

I may be naive at times, but it is clear, whether we like him or not, that Barack Obama is going to be our next President. He has the "presidentials "(credentials) to be President. Stature, personality, and statesmanship. Hilary is good and some what effective. (no denying that) BUT ask your self this question: Should the ideal candidate have: Obama's personality, Clinton's experience, and Edward's heart? If you feel these 3 ingredients would make a great democratic candidate, then pick the person who embodies if not all of them, most of them! My gut truly tells me that Obama is the closest to having all 3. It just comes natural to Barack; rehearsed from Hilary, & overly zealous from John... Bye

No one has experience as the President of the United States unless you are going into your second term, so what experience does Hillary have? She takes credit for Bill if it helps and starts that lawyering talk when it doesn't suit her. So, my question is when are the hard questions going to start for Hillary? How is she going to play with grown men if you can't ask her anything but lady questions and by the way she "ain't" no lady as the world will find out if she wins the presidency. She knows where the bodies are buried and Washington is afraid of her and so are the "big newspapers and reporters" who make sure they keep the Hail Hillary out front and you are nuts if you don't like Hill and Bill.

This is the 21st century for God's sake. We shouldn't even be discussing as to whether a woman is capable of being president of this country. Indira Ghandi, Margaret Thatcher, & Golda Meier are just a few who can prove otherwise for their countries. I think it strange though, that it's the Democratic party that has a woman, a Black (although half white), and a Hispanic as candidates. It's my humble opinion, that if experience would be the key determinate, Bill Richardson is the most capapble. But given the sorry state of campaign finance, we'll never find out.

Clinton exemplifies what is wrong with Washington -- totally concerned with the next news cycle.

The President has the power to turn any country in the world into a slag heap, and she is worried that talking to our "enemies" might look bad? They might use it for propaganda? She forgets that we gain from talks (propagandawise) as much as any enemy. If the talks fail, we have good propaganda on our side that "we tried to prevent this terrible conflict."

Who cares what the Sunday talk shows say after the talks. What matters is results. Yes, we want to keep little Bush jr. away from world leaders because he would make an embarassing mess -- but I can see no downside to having any of the serious people who are running for the Democratic nomination give any tinpot tyrant a peice of their mind.

Hillary does not, in fact, understand how diplomacy works. The diplomacy that accomplishes anything starts with a meeting of the minds at the top, and then the underlings work out the details.

I think Hillary has made a huge mistake here, because now Obama has a great opening to attack her for her lack of judgement.

So, she has to send out Madeline Albright to make an issue out of a non-issue. Obama never said that he wasn't going to do the prep work beforehand when it comes to meeting world leaders. HRC's diplomacy eerily matches Bush's. What a load of crap, Hillary! Imagine if JFK refused to talk with Khruschev? Or Reagan refused to talk with Kruschev? Or Nixon did not visit China?

As of now, we need some one with experience, a track record, and the honest ability to do something of positive value.

What experience? Her and Obama both have less experience than most of the other candidates. As far as experience goes, she's actually on the bottom of the list of candidates. Can't agree with you on the wise and well thought out part either, since she hasn't actually made any real decisions. She just agrees with those around her before changing her mind to agree with the next group she passes. And if she doesn't know which way a group stands, she pulls out a statement where she says that she might support whatever the issue is, or she might not...and then doesn't elaborate any more and changes the topic. That's not very wise or well thought out, unless you're talking about being a wise, well thought out con artist. Gender has nothing to do with it, if she was a man she'd be the worst possible candidate to lead this country. Being a woman, she's still the same worst possible candidate. Gender really has zilch to do with it, she just has absolutely zero positive aspects to offer this country.

Jake,
That is one of the things I like about Senator Obama; the fact that he has not been in Washington for very long. He actually seems to care about the welfare of the nation and its citizens. Most politicians in Washington care about what is best for their respective party.

it is very refreshing to listen to intelligent people debate the issues. george bush can not communicate an intelligent message. anyone who voted for bush should be baned from voting until they can prove they are mentally capable of making a selection. i will vote for hillary clinton and whom ever she selects as her running mate.

I think Obama is right on the money. The person B brought up how a long string of Presidents did not do something. And?? Throughout the US' Presidents many have either gone against or in a totally new/different direction than their predecessor's. Abraham Lincoln, Woodrow Wilson, etc. An alternative view is that Obama could be ending the agenda that a string of past presidents either endorsed or just followed (for either lacking in leadership ability or not wanting to start a mess). And speaking about leadership, what was Bush doing for Katrina victims while Castro was offering help, to an "enemy" country? Finally, the world is a very different place than 40 years ago, the USSR is no more for example.

I believe all Political debates are simply Shows and have no depth or breathe or meaning. Anyone, who lowers theirself to the level of the answer from a politician while performing in a show, is lost and is doing what the canidates are doing, saying anything to get elected or be heard. However these shows are put on they are just shows and will not give us any indication of what the person will do when he or she gets elected. However, these shows do influence voters, beause of some weird, unimportant statement which usually has little to do the the real issues facing us. AS an example, lets look at military leaders, we don't remember them for how they look, religion, or many other unique characteristics, we remember them if they win wars or perform their jobs in an outstanding manner. Thats what we want from the politicians, just do your job in representing the the will of the people who elected you. After all our electing you did not make you God. There should be way of monitoring the performance of elected officals and removing them from office if they are not representing the people who put them in office.

It is almost impossible to determine what a canidate will do after being elected. This one way we might have some control. The president should have one person from each state on his governing board, and when signing a bill or pushing an issue, this board shold vote yes or no, with president only voting to settle a tie.

I can't believe that there is anyone left that remembers 9th grade civics. The Democrats are not running for prisidency, they are trying to get nominated in a system of two (sometimes more) parties. If you're not a Dem or Ind. hold your comments until November 2008. Right now, alls fair in politics. This is what it is all about. The Dems will nominate someone through the process and folks will vote in primaries all over the country. Hopefully they will try to line up what they believe in with which ever candidate closely relates to them. Was Hillary right? Is Obama prepared to be president. Give you opinion during the primaries and stop thinking any of this is about being elected president, it's about getting nominated.

I love watching all those dumb socialist liberals eat each other alive already. I like to see Hilary losing it in a PMS rage in front of the camera. "Obuma" you're a Bumma too. Dem's don't have nobody worth a spit again this time. Looks like we get another Republican I think.

The only thing either one of these idiot politicians understands about the "threats" faced today is that they're multi-pronged -- they don't just involve Iraq or even strictly the Middle East and its hordes of terrorists. The threat we face today is the crumbling of our empirical forces and the changing face of the world.

Let's face it, though: Neither Barack nor Hillary is at all ready to face a world where the United States is A force, rather than THE force. None of the major candidates does, and neither do the party-liners like Dodd or the faceless second-tier Republicans (there's so many of them that I've stopped caring). Ron Paul does; so does, believe it or not, Dennis Kucinich (in world affairs, not domestic policy). In fact, Mike Gravel has a better pulse on what's going on than most other Democrats. Somebody please listen to that bat-sh** crazy old man!

I would bet that a lot of this negativism toward Clinton is coming from the Republicans.

Unfortunately, it is going to take years, theirs and mine great-grandchildren, to correct the mess and blunder Bush and the Republication Party have created. You guys probably still think "no-bid" contracts are okay? No questions at all on the over 12 millions dollars the Vice has increased in his worth. I could go on forever.

In reading over the comments made about Hillary, there seems to be a lot of jealously towards her because she progressed in life and many wish they planned their life differently. Vote for Obama? Like hell. He isn't going to get the nomination or be president of the United States. If you think so then your dreaming just like he is. He's a wanna be president who can't be because the majority of the people in this country are not going to vote him in including myself. You know it so accept it. Clinton is right you have to plan what you are going to say to world leaders. You just don't jump the gun like Obama would do. That leads to trouble. He is not experienced enough to talk to them because he's lucky he go thru the debate. He smiles alot showing those big white teeth. You know the old saying? Money talks but BS walks.

Shay, Roanoke, VA — Tue, 24 Jul 2007 21:17:43 GMT

The comment from Clinton was unwarranted and arrogant. Obama may not be a "seasoned" politician, but that means he's on less of corporate America's payroll and less likely to push their agenda versus the that of the people. I think Obama has a pulse on the needs of the American people and would genuinely try to do what's best for the people.

Hillary is too concerned with what she thinks the people want and not listening to what we're telling her we need. Either way you slice it, the current regime on Capital Hill has got to go. They're sending America to hell in a hand basket and making off with the spoils.

BTW, Manny be quiet...that was narrow minded and sexist. You sound like a Bush lover.

Most people in other countries think Americans are stupid and not smart people because they listen to Bush and Cheney. We are not liked nor respected anywhere in the world. This is the worst administration in modern day times.

I think Obama is exactly what we need in the White House. People say he is too inexperienced. In my opinion, we have had presidents with more experience but with a lot less intellect. Yes, he is young but he is intelligent and insightful. Those are 2 qualities that have been missing from the White House for some time.

From what I have seen in the last 30 years is that the more "experienced" the candidate is, the greater the risk of corruption. Let's get a breathe of fresh air and fresh ideas.

Rather than answer with the good of the nation in mind, she chose to be coy and address her clever response to the general voting public who still harbors too many folks who would rather nuke 'em than negotiate. Very sad and very disappointing...

I am really sick of other countries laughing at us because we dont do our homework. Isnt time we quit griping and start learning? Get your eyes to web pages or history books or even policies and then make decisions. I think it has been proven its up to us to make the US stop looking so stupid.

After all it is "OUR HOUSE".

Obama was right. I want a president that welcomes diplomacy regardless. The only propoganda that meeting these leaders could do was to tell the world that America, after Bush, will now lead with civilized depomacy instead of blind agression. This is the kind of "propaganda" that we need to sell the world especialy now. Besides it's not as if Obama said he would meet these people without an established set of goals and stratagies.

Clinton or Obama, liar #2 or this inexperienced kid. You people need to stop ONLY listening to the soundbites of today and try and remember what people have done in the past.

I have nothing against having a black president. What I have against him is the fact that he is completely unqualified to be the president of our country at this time. If he really wants to be president, he'll be Hillary's VP and by the time the 8 years are up, he'll be ready.

Young Liberal, Portland, Oregon — Tue, 24 Jul 2007 21:20:43 GMT

While I do think it's sad that these two candidates are at each other's throats, I do not believe this incident really warrants a big change in opinion on either candidate.

Hillary is right in that promising to talk to hostile countries is a tad niave. So is acting like the only reason we have problems with these countries is because we haven't sat down with them. We have problems with countries due to extreme economic, political and ethical belief differences.
However, opening communication with 'enemies' should be something that happens, always. When has the silent treatment ever worked? But acting like this will fix everything IS a little niave.

At the same time, Hillary made it sound like she was opposed to such negotiations, which is dumb, because she is not. I think she's just a little more realistic, and YES, experienced.

What Obama should have said is that one of the major goals of his administration would be to focus on communication as a means of foreign policy rather than ignoring 'bad' countries. And Hillary should not have jumped on his statement in such a rude fashion, it doesn't help her image.

Why not use it? Think how the world would have been if we would have taken the time to talk to some of our perceived enemies instead of taking the military route. Obama was right. Hillary was just taking a cheap shot at him. I think that shows how worried the Clinton camp is about Obama.

I don't know how anyone can stand to listen to Hilary, much less vote for her. She says whatever suits her at the moment.

Hilary is just plain mean. I do not care how hard she tries to be cute, charming and fun to be with; she cannot hide her inner core. Even the pink jackets and the sad attempts at bright smiles cannot mask her mean spirit and harshness. Maybe we need a president who is naïve enough to actually believe in America. Do we really want someone who has been jaded by decades of hard-ball politics, someone who sold out years ago?

The only Democratic candidate who really knows anything about negotiating with the world's bad guys is Bill Richardson -- because he's already "been there and done that". Why waste your vote on either Clinton or Obama? -- neither has any experience in foreign affairs.

No man wants war and war is neither Republican or Democrat. Bush may have used the wrong pretext or we may have been less than professional in how we conducted the war but sitting by and watching Hussein gas his people and not intervene on account that it is not a threat to the US is the same as watching Hitler gas Jews, Hutu exterminate Tutsys, women and children raped and killed in Darfur, and so on. Pulling out of Iraq will confirm that we Americans are nothing buit yellow bellies that will faint at the sight of blood plus endure that Iraq becomes a terrorist training camp.

What she was pointing out is that Barrack Obama is inexperienced in foreign diplomacy. It is true that Obama probably would do exactly what Hillary said, but the fact that the accepted practice of sending diplomatic envoys wasn't part of his response shows that he would be relying on help from advisors in that area rather than having hands-on involvement in the process. I still like Obama better though.

Let me just say that if Hillary gets elected this country is finished. People should have to work for what they want, if you want health care pay for it if you don't make enough get a better job. All of the Democrats to me seem to be communists, and hand my hard earned money to lazy good for nothing morons. No one likes war but are we expected to sit back while more innocents are slain by scumbag terrorists? I don't believe any of the Dems have the stones to stand up for this country. Diplomacy only works when the other side cares about living, these P.O.S. terrorists want to die so why don't we help speed that process along? When did America become so full of P.C. hippie cowards.

We should not act as Republicans or democrats and vote on party basis and repeat the history of 2004.The current war- monger administrators brought the image of this country at the lowest ebb for their own oil profits. After the primary is over US public should vote for regime change and choose Hillary who is sharp and smart enough to bring the image of this country back and will bring the country back on tracks.

Dear T Hewatt, Atlanta, Ga.
I feel your pain, but we’re not talking about regretting this or that personal mistake. I'm a decorated veteran, and I can tell you that the most important decision by far that any president makes is putting our blood and treasure at risk. Hilary flunked that test big time, and that disqualifies her to be president. Moreover, unlike Edwards who has admitted his vote was a mistake, Hilary still insists she did the right thing based on the information she had. As a US senator she had access to plenty of alternative information on which to base her decision. Her yes vote can only mean two things, she lacks judgment to be president, or she lacked courage to stand up against a popular president pushing a disastrous policy. Either way, she’s unqualified.

Fools! This is the reason we have difficulty selecting a "good" president. They are first and foremost judged on Political PARTY rather than competence, intelligence, integrity, etc. When this country was founded, there was no such division between the men responsible...Men who would have glady

Iamaha, Madison, WI — Tue, 24 Jul 2007 21:31:20 GMT

Be aware as these debates are merely positioning and the two beneficiaries of the left-wing ardor from the drive-by media and others are Obama and Clinton. When push comes to shove the lefties will control the Democratic Convention forcing Hillary and Obama to kiss and make up so they can formulate the unbeatable ticket - Hillary for President and Obama for Vice President. The election will come down to the Dem's groups - women, African Americans, Spanish Americans (legal and illegal) the uninsured, the poor, the gay, lesbian, transsexuals, the greens, and any other minority you can think of versus the poor sacrificial lamb annoited by the helpless and hapless GOP. The USA as we've known it is in for a big change and many of you will not like it. We'll no longer be a republic but a democracy where majority rules. The loss of World respect will further diminish and we will grow ever ripe for domestic violence from within and without. Is there a potential candidate from either party out there who is a statesperson with business acumen, international experience and leadership skills who is not beholden to special interests and monied groups? Frankly, it should sadden us all that there is no such person currently in view. We, the people need to take the government back from the politicians and special interests. We need to elect a President (man or woman) who can lead this country back to the dominant World power we once were. We need to reverse stupid deficit spending and get back to fiscal responsibility. We need to tell people who can work to work. We need to tell people here illegally to go home and apply to come back legally. We need to regain our confidence as a people and a Country. We need to provide everyone with the opportunity to secure quality health care AFTER we make it clear to everyone that they have a responsibility to lead healthy lifestyles. We need to help those who can't help themselves, not those who won't help themselves. We have to use whatever force and diplomacy is necessary to convince the Islamic World that we will not tolerate any compromise of our safety or the safety of all other democratic countries around the World. We have to rise above the petty bickering between the far left and the far right and get back to the basics folks, and if we don't I shudder to think about the consequences. The clock is ticking toward the most important election our country has ever had. I hope and pray that we get lucky and the right person emerges from the shadows to lead us back to greatness.

I do believe Obama would meet with other world leaders to confront the many issues facing everyone. I think that Hillary Clinton would say anything to get a vote. I think it is time for the Clintons and Bush to leave the stage (16 years is enough)and bring in someone like Obama with fresh ideas to turn this country around and put us back on the right track.

Largely, the shift of the blame for this country's problem has been to the shoulders of the president and away from congress who has benefitted from that shift. Every word from their mouths shields them from any blame or wrongdoing that affects this country and no one is chiding them for being the worst congress in American history. We are paying their salaries and since the election of 2006, has done nothing to earn their paychecks. It must be nice to just criticize or accuse the opposition of being innept and still get paid a hefty salary and do absolutely nothing to help this country. yeah, some of you think Hillary or Obama are the cat's meow but remember, they are part of that bunch who are not doing the job they were hired for. How many of us would still have a job if we didn't produce but was still able to point fingers at someone else? If they are not producing results for this country's sake now, what makes you think they will do it when they reach the White House? They talk a good show when it comes to beating up the president but they are not devoting much time to their current employment. These slackers are not what is needed to lead this nation. If talking was the only requirement for being elected president, they will have no problem doing so. Their current track record is being largely ignored as to being a contributor for our benefit. Let's make them do their job first, campaign later. Senators legislate first, campaign later or get someone who can do the job right.

I liked the way Hillary Clinton answered the question. She has the experiance and the backbone to be a great President. Obama did say "yes" too soon seemingly without thinking. His intentions are good, I think, I just do not believe he is ready to be President or even Vice President now, maybe later. He looks good, speaks with optimisim about the future, and has an easy way about him. Somehow I don't think that demeanor will last long if he is elected and is expected to straighten out the mess the Bush administration will leave us all with.
Hillary would be much better she obviously knows what the job she is running for entails and she is seems ready right now. And by the way, I don't think CNN is pushing Clinton in fact I'd like to hear more from Clinton, Biden, Obama, Edwards and Richardson. All the other candidates seem a little frustrated already.

Anybody capable of coherent thought knows that a president-to-president meeting is going to warrant some preparation, so the point of the question was not on what terms would you meet with those leaders, but as President of the United States, would you meet with them. It's clear Barack Obama was the only one with the guts to understand that.

The Republican term definitely began with our country in much better shape!! Should the Democrats prevail I really feel sorry for the individual that will replace Bush as their term in office will be marred by the mess created by this current administration.

EVERYONE STOP TALKING ABOUT BUSH. We are voting for a new president hopefully based on the abilities of the candidate. Just because Bush has done a bad job DOESNT mean that someone different will do better. I am all for a woman president, but seriously, the "men have been doing a bad job" stance is juvenile. Every good president has also been a man. All I'm saying is that the past presidents are largely irrelevant - or at least they should be. Vote on who you think will be a good leader, not simply a different person from the current president.

Personally, I think more people should consider Mitt Romney. I know he will probably not get elected because people are afraid to vote for a mormon, but i think his sheer intelligence and leadership abilities speak for themselves. No one mentions that he ran one of the most successful businesses in the world, and also founded another one of the most successful businesses in the world. Not to mention the way he literally saved the Salt Lake City olympics. It is often said that leading a country is somewhat like leading a company, and it is. I have been in many important leadership positions in my life and I have found this to be true.

These soldiers are tired of the war. Military Divorce rates are soring, soldiers deaths are mounting, and Who knows where disabilty treatment for these poor soldiers is going. Soldiers are coming back so distraught until they are killing their families. I am not talking to be talking I am talking because I have been there. Someone needs to stand for something and not just stand for anything. Bring those Soldiers Home. And for many of you I am a Retired Military Woman and Diabled.

If Hillary cannot talk to America's enemies, she will lose the moral authority to get Israel and her neighbors to talk, and other warring nations around the world. It will be business as usual in Middle East. I agree with Obama, Dems should talk to Republicans for the sake of America, and America should talk to enemies (perceived or real) for the sake of peace in the world. It's not naivity it is maturity.

Oh, Hillary Hillary Hillary, "irresponsible and naive"? I believe you think we all are!

When you can decide what side of an issue you are really on. You, know... the WAR....well maybe then we'll listen. How about NO MORE FLIP FLOPPIN ! But that's OK...votes count...I think they do...

Oh Yeah, I guess, many of us can think of a few good things to say about Baraka, and other candidates for that matter, only you can't say nice huh. How Sad, you missed that opportunity. To busy "lookin" presidential :)

First off: WWI and WWII and now 911 all three show us that trying to "talk" to countries that have communism, dictators, or muslim terrorists does not work. Trying to stay out of wars or reason or talk to these type of counties does not work but for some reason the Lib Dems and the UN dont learn form history and think they can talk to these people. However history shoes that by doing nothing, trying to stay out of Iraq or Iran, and the terroist, natzis, or communists will attack us. The reason being is they want controle and power. Dems are extremely naive to stick to there parties play book and not learn from history. When have we ever entered a war to loose, thats what the Lib Dems want to do. They are bringing this country to its knees. Read your history books and the letters of the leaders of the allied forces and you will see a will and determination only seen in the Bush today to have the courage to take on evil. Mark this down you will see in the future more attacks by muslims because they are going un checked. Has anyone one reading this actualy read what they are taught? If anyone wants to know more about the muslims teaching read their crazy teaching or i will send you links of there books. I have studies many religions all across the world and let me say they are evil. No one is brave enough to say these things today but i am.

Good call Lyn from Silver Spring, MD! What a weak person she is! Hillary slew a paper tiger that she made in art class. She insulted all of us who knew what Obama was saying and she made herself look desperate. May that pig never have the reins of power. Go Obama! You’re a true gentleman and we need you.

When will the nepotism end? Hillary Clinton is about as qualified as George Bush to President. If her last wasn't Clinton we wouldn't even be talking about her. Sen. Obama is clearly bringing a breath of fresh air to the national political scene. America needs someone with a different life experience in the White House. We can all see through her shameless tactics.

I wish Ms. Clinton and the Democratic party would come to the realization that she won't be electable. The idea that a presidential race is about capability was left behind when this nation elected Ronald Regan. No matter if she is the best person for the job, she won't get it. The facts are, our country isn't ready for a woman, and even if it was, Ms. Clinton is undoubtably the most polarizing candidate in the mix right now. She has proven to be a very savvy political animal, but this particular criticism of Obama is diametrically opposite to her criticisim of Mr. Bush. How can you be critical of talking to those who don't agree with us (Obama) and of NOT talking to those who don't agee with us (Bush)? I'm a Democrat, and I can tell you, if she runs, we'll not gain the Whitehouse...

Queen Hillary did not learn from her husband..he learned from her. And remember she was disbarred from practicing law...She also tried and many times got people fired who did not agree with her while her husband was in office..This is not someone I want representing my country...Also one question Hillary...how much is Mexico and La Raza paying you and the other traitors to try and give amnesty to close to 20 million ILLEGALS. Included in those are sexual predators, drug dealers, and murderers.OH yes...one illegal was found working for DWP in L.A. making over $100,000 per year..yeah who would want that job.... Anyone who voted for that stupid bill does not deserve to represent my country now or ever.

Hillary is most likely the smartest person to ever step foot in the white house ... she doesn't have Bill's charm ... but she is a worker bee, effective, well intentioned and ready to hit the ground running. Her point is legitimate ... she has understands foreign policy. She made her point the way politicians make their points these days -- I don't understand -- she was wrong to capitalize on that debate opportunity -- if Obama did it he would be brilliant ... Hillary does it and she's a sneaky bitch ... I have news for you knuckleheads -- Hillary is brilliant ... she could restore our world standing and financial state. She'll win if not in spite of ... then because of your ignorant comments. Cheers.

Irresposible and navie? Humm. Does this mean a democrat who can raise more money than Hillary is not qualified to be President? So, if he gets the nomination, Who will Hillary Support? Humm. Would she rather have a qualified Republican or an irresponsible and naive Democrat leading our country? The poor dear, she will have a lot to contemplate in the coming year. Do good for your country, or do good for your party? What would a mature and savvy politition do?

Donovan, Sacramento, CA — Tue, 24 Jul 2007 21:47:05 GMT

I find it funny that Wayne thinks that when Clinton was President that we had peace and prosperity. What about sending all those troups to Somalia weeks before Christmas only to let them be slaughtered and drug through the streets behind trucks? What about the Croat/Serb war? What about the USS Cole being attacked by terrorists, and being forced to watch them come up to the boat because they were forbidden to fire? What about our Embassy in Africa being blown to bits? Is that peace??

I lost my job at the end of the so-called prosperity due to the Clinton administration's over-inflation of technology market. Then rejoining the workforce was made even more difficult due to all the foreign workers that the Clinton administration ushered through our borders. What about NAFTA and all the jobs that were lost to Mexico, because they would work for far less than an American worker. Yeah, that is prosperity.

The LAST thing this country needs is Hillary Clinton. Vote anybody but her. We already have scored a victory since George Bush Sr. doesn't have any more family running for President.

I am wondering where the hand basket is that "Darren" says we are going to hell in? And how large would this hand basket have to be? Bigger than Al Gores ego? Bigger than Bill Clintons skeleton collection he has in the closet? I am guessing it dont matter who the next president is. We took a wrong turn about 1994 and never corrected the wheel folks. You can blame Bush, you can blame Clinton... I do. The fact is Barak Obama is a fresh face, hell if he were on an Independent ticket he might fair better than being on the Dem ticket. When Perot ran he was there for a change to the game. Now more than then do we need a new tune to hum while we pack our "hand basket" and make for the sulpher sea. I dontthink Bush has steered us to far off the wrong track clinton has us on. I know, lets have the people pick policy... we could call it a democracy... no, nevermind. Pelosi is one of the people. I withdraw all comments, see you in the basket.

Obama lacks experience and Clinton, forget it.

A third Clinton term? Let's examine what they gave us. World Trade Center bombing, 1993. USS Cole bombing 2000. US Embassy bombing Tanzania & Kenya, 1998. And finally, the Clintons' tough stance on terrorism led to 9/11/01. Lest we forget, Bill Clinton had the opportunity to take out Bin Laden but it wasn't good for his image. Hilary, you're the one who is naive.

Stick with the GOP.

Obama should just be a model for GQ or the like. He IS naive and weak. Being a pretty boy and speaking softly may get him some votes, but the head of every state around the world can smell a weakling and the terrorists are salvating at the thought of having him anywhere near the whitehouse!!

John Gallagher, New York NY — Tue, 24 Jul 2007 21:48:37 GMT

I don't think Obama was naive. I think he understood that the question's intent was to see if the candidate would do what the current administration refuses to even consider. His answer was to the point: yes, he would. I say good for him.

Hillary played the typical political game: I'm not promising anything. She also scored a cheap debating point that has been made into much more than it really was by the media.

Does anyone really think that Obama meant that he would hop on a plane or whatever without guaging the intent of others?

John T. Clendenin — Tue, 24 Jul 2007 21:48:52 GMT

Mrs. Clinton:

I donated money to your campaign. I won't any more. I am sending my money to Obama. You need to have some decor about you as it relates to different views. Especially with your fellow Democrats. There is always more than one way to skin a cat (so to speak). If you were President you wouldn't expect everyone to share your way of doing things. Respect that, let it go! That is the constitution of a great leader!

I work hard for my money and if I am going to give it away [with nothing gained] I at least expect to feel like I have given it to someone with qualities that I can appreciate.

Kris, NJ — Tue, 24 Jul 2007 21:49:00 GMT

I am concerned that we are seeing Clinton as a viable candidate at all-people seem to think that she has done so much already, but let's not forget that when she had the chance to change something-the healthcare system-she failed miserably-walking away to let someone else try to pick up the pieces. Is that the person that we want running the country?

Jean H. Lewis, Champaign, IL — Tue, 24 Jul 2007 21:49:37 GMT

It is interesting, isn't it, that the majority of people posting here today against Senator Clinton ARE MEN!! Take notice women! Vote for Hillary! Pay attention to the polls about gender. Also, to those of you who think Hillary is Bill or vice versa, are, I think, rather heterosexist in your view. That is, must a woman always be viewed as being and believing the same as her husband? Geesh!

PissedatAmerica — Tue, 24 Jul 2007 21:49:40 GMT

First, a monkey smoking pot would be a better president than Bush, second, Hilary is the only candiate with any experience what so ever. If not for any other reason than that, I will vote for her. I like Obama, I think he's a decent man, but way to naive, period. Sorry. And anybody who votes republican now is in a sorry state of mind. Big business and corporations and greed are all they are about, plain and simple. Bush actually tried to sell of our ports to Dubai? doesn't that tell you anything here folks. And so what if Bill Clinton is running her campaign like he's running again, he was great, and more than half of America and world thought so. What the republicans did to him was a disgrace and we Amreican's should have never sat back and watched it happen to him. More power to both of them....As for the idiot who said this isn't a job for a women, your a complete moron and need to back to your dirty stupid cave.

Barack does understand the nature of the threats facing our nation, he once said that Iran was the greatest threat to the safety and security of the U.S.A, and judging by recent events, he is correct. As mentioned earlier, Hillary is a shill for big business first and foremost. That's what side her bread is buttered on, and she's too shrewd to forget it. Barack is less experienced with the insider politics of Washington, and frankly I believe that is a good, good thing. He is also exceptionally bright, and a gifted communicator. He was the only democrat I voted for in the last general election, and he will be my choice for the next President of the United States. I'm a conservative Republican, but this country needs a new direction, and it needs hope. I see these things in Barack Obama. I don't see them in any other candidate, on either side of the aisle.

If Clinton or Obama gets elected the country will regret it. Neither one believes in free enterprise. The both think that all they have to do is pass laws and what they want to happen economically will happen. What everyone to have great health care, pass a law. Want to end poverty tax the snot out off everyone with any income and spend it on programs. Want to end the war, hey just quit fighting. The Dems like to think Bush is stupid, but the biggest light weight in the mix is obama and Clinton may be smart but she only cares about power and not the country.

The economy is in great shape and we have taken the fight to the enemy. Five years from now people will long for the Bush administration.

Obama had the chance to express any pre conditions to such a meeting.
The question that he answered was a meeting with no pre conditions. He agreed
Clinton didn't say she wouldn't meet with these leaders before testing the waters.
This shows careful thought before making such a significant step in our foreign policy.

For those idiots who keep saying that Obama is inexperianced, I have two points to make. First George Washington was the greatest president we ever had and he had no political experiance before getting the job. Second Obama actually has more experiance then Hillary Clinton. Obama has ten years of experiance in politics versus Clinton's six years.

Mr. Obama promises lots of changes and he will never be able to accomplish them all. I think he is playing the race card because he mostly related about his black heritage but now is trying for the votes of all people which any politician does. He needs much more experience for my vote.
