If he isn't on the Obama payroll already, he certainly should be. &amp;nbsp;Funny how MSNBC mocks Fox News for claiming to be &amp;quot;fair and balanced&amp;quot;....&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Pot....kettle....black!</description></item><item><title>California Rep. endorsing Clinton</title><link>http://firstread.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2008/01/29/617834.aspx#618035</link><pubDate>Tue, 29 Jan 2008 17:28:21 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:618035</guid><dc:creator>Steve, Spokane, Washington</dc:creator><description>I believe Senator Jefferson from Louisiana is getting ready to endorse Hillary also.</description></item><item><title>California Rep. endorsing Clinton</title><link>http://firstread.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2008/01/29/617834.aspx#618043</link><pubDate>Tue, 29 Jan 2008 17:30:29 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:618043</guid><dc:creator>Robert</dc:creator><description>To all the Clinton supporters - Please explain why? &amp;nbsp;Have we not forgotten who she is....it's crazy to think change can happen with her in the oval office. &amp;nbsp;To change things we need Republicans and Democrats to come together. &amp;nbsp;The Clinton's are to Republicans, what the Bush's are to Democrats - divisive, polarizing figures. &amp;nbsp;We will be right back to the blue-state, red-state nonsense (along with the revival of the conservative conspiracy). &amp;nbsp;Enough is enough. &amp;nbsp;Hillary Clinton is a fine candidate and certainly qualified for the job, but they will freeze her out. &amp;nbsp;She will not get anything done. &amp;nbsp;If you want change, then you need someone that can bring both sides together and get away from the nonsense we have experienced over the past 20 years. &amp;nbsp;As a Democrat I favor Obama because I think he can inspire both sides of the aisle. &amp;nbsp;If not Obama, then Edwards because his last name isn't Clinton. &amp;nbsp;I can honestly say that if it comes down to a Clinton versus McCain vote, then I will have to vote Republican for the first time in years. &amp;nbsp;There are many like me that feel the same way. &amp;nbsp;The Vote against Hillary is not a vote against her because of gender (I'm all for a female president), but it is a vote against the Clintons and their polarizing effect. &amp;nbsp;Some may say that McCain will start World War III, but honestly he isn't going to be any worse than who we have in the office now -- and he might, just might unite Red and Blue states. &amp;nbsp;Those are my thoughts -- I just understand how Hillary can get anyone excited. &amp;nbsp;She's a good Senator (I live in New York) and capable, but you all know deep down that it will be more of the same with her in office. &amp;nbsp;</description></item><item><title>California Rep. endorsing Clinton</title><link>http://firstread.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2008/01/29/617834.aspx#618046</link><pubDate>Tue, 29 Jan 2008 17:30:46 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:618046</guid><dc:creator>ObamaRama</dc:creator><description>THIS ENDORSEMENT IS WORTHLESS!!!!!!!!&lt;br&gt;Emily (Sent Tuesday, January 29, 2008 12:20 PM)&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Talk to me on FEBRUARY 6th....</description></item><item><title>California Rep. endorsing Clinton</title><link>http://firstread.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2008/01/29/617834.aspx#618055</link><pubDate>Tue, 29 Jan 2008 17:32:12 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:618055</guid><dc:creator>Simon Vouet, Boca Raton, Florida</dc:creator><description>As per Ted Kennedy endorsing Obama.

( except that Joe Scarborough is a notch above) His opinions are clearly expresssed. he HATES Hillary Clinton and guess what, we the public should NOT know that. These people are reporters and should be stating the facts, and taking questions and opinions from professionals. We the veiwing public should not have a clue as to whom they privately endorse. Do you hear this Chris Matthews?? You too Joe and the rest of you. Take a cue from your more regal colleagues such as Brian Williams or Tom Brokaw. I wouldnt know who either of these men wil vote for and I shouldnt know. ( why do you think candidates try to get big name celebrities to endorse them, because there are actually people who will vote for someone just because their favorite movie star is seen with them). There must be someone out there with a big crush on Joe Scarborough who now hates Hillary because he does.

You have to know that even though the MSM is cheering on Obama as the second coming that regardless of what you or I may think of him...he and his campaign are not above playing dirty. Hillary Clinton is not getting endorsements because she is threatening people. Both campaigns are actively going after every meaningful endorsement just as they are going out and making their cases for every vote.

They are all that is wrong with Washington politics and if Hillary (I’ve accomplished nothing but talk in her career) is elected ... nothing will change anything in Washington. Bill Clinton will lie right to your face if it serves his purpose, just as he did when he was the President. They will do or say anything to get back to the White House. Its not about concern for America's welfare they are running for the White House its their own ego driven need for power. Hillary is not about change… she never even mention herself as a change agent, until she saw that Mr. Obama’s message had resonance with the American psyche. Unfortunately I fear Hillary will get the nomination, and if that is the case I will never vote for a Democrat for President ever again. I’m very disturbed at the lack of insight by people who support Hillary. She has never accomplished anything in her political career… yet people continue to think she is experienced. What is this great experience you all think she has? What great piece of legislation has she championed and has been passed into law that is helping you today. We would have had some type of national health care today, if Hillary would have been willing to compromise back in the early 90s. During her time in the White House she did not even have National Security clearance …, yep that’s real experience. &amp;nbsp;The Clintons championed NAFTA and promoted China… These two moves have diminished the US as an economic power and have caused the loss of millions of good paying jobs to foreign companies. She was completely in support of the Bush and his invasion of Iraq , now she tries to change history. The reason she supported the war was a purely political move for her future plans to run for the White House, she hoped to use the vote to stave off any attacks by the Republicans that she was not strong in defense issues. She did not care for the soldiers being sent off to a needless war that did not address actual national security priorities. It will be another sad day in America, when the Clintons return to the White House. I just hope that members of the Democratic Party wake up from their sleep instead of dreaming of the fantasy that is the Clintons.</description></item><item><title>California Rep. endorsing Clinton</title><link>http://firstread.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2008/01/29/617834.aspx#618190</link><pubDate>Tue, 29 Jan 2008 18:00:45 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:618190</guid><dc:creator>Ike</dc:creator><description>Waste of my time.

Sidney Williams earned $500,000 from this consulting, which consisted of introducing Siebert to politicians his wife had supported.

JFK was war hero, has credentials that Osama can only imagine. &amp;nbsp;Talking about changes, women got the right to vote in 88 years ago from today, if that is not a change for anyone, then there is something wrong in this country. &amp;nbsp;A woman president is not a change, it is a revolution. &amp;nbsp;Hillary for president, the Margaret Thatcher! &amp;nbsp; </description></item><item><title>California Rep. endorsing Clinton</title><link>http://firstread.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2008/01/29/617834.aspx#618211</link><pubDate>Tue, 29 Jan 2008 18:06:04 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:618211</guid><dc:creator>sfdem</dc:creator><description>Maxine Waters is an important voice in the Los Angeles black community, but she is not a national figure. &amp;nbsp;The endorsement may help Clinton with some older African Americans. &amp;nbsp;Thursday night's California debate will be extremely important. &amp;nbsp;I'm guessing Clinton wins California, but by a much narrower margin than the 12% suggested in the most recent poll (pre-South Carolina, pre-Kennedy endorsements.) &amp;nbsp;Independents can vote in the Dem primary here but not in the Republican primary (quirky party rules) -- and that favors Obama. &amp;nbsp;The state's delegates are awarded proportionally, so I'm thinking it's not going to be a huge delegate take for Clinton.</description></item><item><title>California Rep. endorsing Clinton</title><link>http://firstread.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2008/01/29/617834.aspx#618214</link><pubDate>Tue, 29 Jan 2008 18:06:19 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:618214</guid><dc:creator>Bob, DC</dc:creator><description>Hillary can have Maxine. &amp;nbsp;She is polarizing and has questionable integrity. &amp;nbsp;Probably would have been a &amp;nbsp;negative to Obama if she had endorsed him, especially considering the race cr*p that the media loves keep hyping. &amp;nbsp;I suspect Obama did not even seek her endorsement.</description></item><item><title>California Rep. endorsing Clinton</title><link>http://firstread.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2008/01/29/617834.aspx#618228</link><pubDate>Tue, 29 Jan 2008 18:10:33 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:618228</guid><dc:creator>Nashville_fan</dc:creator><description>To Ray, NY,NY:&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Senator Obama will tell you all about the changes he has made in his first State of the Union address.

Just drop the country in the river, Obama. Obama is not experienced enough andf America is not going to have a President that isn't balanced on race issues and for sure he is not.

See I am the type of girl that likes the bad boy, nice honest boys won't do. My Doctor says because my parents abused and lied to me, I now equate lying and abuse with being loved. When Bill lied about Monica and DNA proved he lied, it excites me. When Bush said Iraq had WMD, and it was proven that he to lied, it sends chills up my spine. Hillary do something to win, Cry, play the race card, anything!!!. If you don't win, I will have to start cutting myself.

Can anyone out there think that David Brinkley and John Chancellor would have said that Obamas speeches made them cry with admiration like Matthews has? (for you younger folks those were real political journalists that REPORTED the news). This morning on &amp;quot;Morning Joe&amp;quot; our loveable hosts allowed a cutout of Obama to be prominently displayed for over 90 minutes in the diner they were reporting from, until hopefully someone from NBC called and told them to remove it. As a voter from Illinois who is not salivating over Obama, I can tell you what the folks at Hardball and Morning Joe have done - theyve turned me into a Clintonite!

She did not have a big press conferance like Obama had with the most currupt political dynasty in the history of the Untited states. From joe kennedy, the bootlegger, to all the killing rapes and drug incedents in that Kennedy family, I do not see how this is a good indorsment for someone who is talking about leaving the politics of the past and creating a new future. Daschell, Kerry,and the kennedy's are the devisive poltititions and loosers of the past. Lets go with winners and real change agents. The clintons. They did it in the 90's and they can do it again.</description></item><item><title>California Rep. endorsing Clinton</title><link>http://firstread.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2008/01/29/617834.aspx#618432</link><pubDate>Tue, 29 Jan 2008 18:51:08 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:618432</guid><dc:creator>Art R.

I have such little respect for what is these talking heads have to say. Matthews should not even be on the air and Mornings with Joe...it’s a joke. It is nothing short of a long Obama commercial. One wonders where to actually turn to find objective news reporting. Yes, there is the Washington Post, New York Times, Newsweek, Time...but the entire aforementioned have talking heads of their own on these shows that are also not shy about cheering on Obama and bashing Hillary. It is really pathetic. I guess I am stuck with C-Span, and NPR to give thoughtful analysis of what is actually going on. Did anyone catch Meet the Press on Sunday? I couldn’t believe the bashing of both Bill and Hillary by all three guests including Russert. It was disgusting and plain wrong. &amp;nbsp;</description></item><item><title>California Rep. endorsing Clinton</title><link>http://firstread.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2008/01/29/617834.aspx#618516</link><pubDate>Tue, 29 Jan 2008 19:05:28 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:618516</guid><dc:creator>Juan in Miami</dc:creator><description>Obama is a leftist in sheeps clothing. &amp;nbsp;He is no better than Chavez or Castro. &amp;nbsp;Get beyond the slogans and you will find a man that is no friend to America.</description></item><item><title>California Rep. endorsing Clinton</title><link>http://firstread.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2008/01/29/617834.aspx#618527</link><pubDate>Tue, 29 Jan 2008 19:07:01 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:618527</guid><dc:creator>j-dog, Tulsa, Ok</dc:creator><description>Come on you idiots! &amp;nbsp;The Rove-Publicans absolutely despise DEMOCRATs so we need someone forceful like Hillary that has a record of forcing policy not asking for assistance.

Although their are other Kennedys active in politics, none of them have the appearance of being the voice of change and hope like Jack and Bobby did in the 1960's. The Kennedys can't attach their destiny onto the Clintons because the Clintons are a destiny of their own. So, in order for the Kennedys to maintain there legacy, they have to become synonymous with a new social crusader. &lt;br&gt; Meanwhile, Obama doesn't need to do much to attack Hillary Clinton. He just sits back and watches the Republican contenders kill themselves vying to be the ONE the will prevent the Clintons from U-Hauling back into the White House. Barack sits back and kicks up his feet and lets the chaos wreak havoc around him. Yeah, he talks a pretty speech, but does he really have much to say? Can he really support unity while he snubs his opponant at an event he knew would be televised? And how would Barack do if he had the GOP and fellow Democratic candidates all focused on his defeat?&lt;br&gt; Hillary is not my dream candidate by any stretch of the imagination. But Barack has done nothing to show me he has the integrity or realistic direction that would earn my vote.</description></item><item><title>California Rep. endorsing Clinton</title><link>http://firstread.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2008/01/29/617834.aspx#618660</link><pubDate>Tue, 29 Jan 2008 19:32:33 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:618660</guid><dc:creator>Stacy, Virginia</dc:creator><description>Congrats Senator Clinton. &amp;nbsp;I read this morning that you were going to announce a big endorsement. &amp;nbsp;I was thinking Al Gore or Bill Richardson. &amp;nbsp;But I am sure that Representative Mary Walters will be a big help in the California African American community. &amp;nbsp;(maybe you will only lose them by 80 percent instead of 81) &amp;nbsp;You go girl!</description></item><item><title>California Rep. endorsing Clinton</title><link>http://firstread.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2008/01/29/617834.aspx#618702</link><pubDate>Tue, 29 Jan 2008 19:41:10 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:618702</guid><dc:creator>Aleta, Pensacola, Florida</dc:creator><description>Personally, I don't think it's big news or important Maxine Waters is endorsing Hillary. &amp;nbsp;If she think this will sway Californians, she is wrong. &amp;nbsp;People are awake and can see and judge for themselves as to who is the best candidate to carry the title Commander In Chief of these United States. &amp;nbsp;Ms. Waters will regret her endorsement.</description></item><item><title>California Rep. endorsing Clinton</title><link>http://firstread.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2008/01/29/617834.aspx#618714</link><pubDate>Tue, 29 Jan 2008 19:43:47 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:618714</guid><dc:creator>Colleen Wieber</dc:creator><description>Here go the Hillary bashers again.

Like it or not, he is a powerful Senator, that has been there for decades...While Waters endorsement of Clinton (which is predictable, given the long history), isn't a surprise (or as big). The endorsement of the Kansas Gov is the one that people are going to talk about...&lt;br&gt;The difference between the 3 major news networks is/has never been fair or balanced. Fox is all Republican, therefore they want Hillary to win the Nomination (because she will be easier to beat)...CNN is more pro-Clinton and MSNBC is more in line with Obama...The problem is not a single network has got it right. This election isn't about Gender/race. I believe that people are supporting the best person for the job (be it Hillary/Obama/Romney/McCain/Huckabee)...I will agree that too many feminest are turning this into the Man v. Woman issue. Racist are turning this into Black v. White/Black v. Latino and no one is talking about the politics...I think Bill Clinton get's more coverage than his wife (the candidate). None of the Woman's groups are complaigning about that, how she has her husband doing all of the attacking!!! I heard, the fraud Maxine Waters, say it is about experience (Hillary's abundance and Barack's lack of). Facts do not support this, Barack has held public office longer (this is indisputable). Being the wife of a politician doesn't make you experienced. Now, let's ask a better question: If Hillary Clinton was the First Lady of Arkansas, why is she the JUNIOR Senator from New York? If she is so proud of her accomplishments, why isn't she representing the state in which she lived for years? &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Look, I am a Moderate Republican, who will be voting, and I am going to either Obama/Romney/Huckabee...</description></item><item><title>California Rep. endorsing Clinton</title><link>http://firstread.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2008/01/29/617834.aspx#621666</link><pubDate>Wed, 30 Jan 2008 15:55:14 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:621666</guid><dc:creator>JOE</dc:creator><description>WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH MS WATERS DOESNT SHE HAVE ANY BRAINS: I GUESS NOT.
