Ok, here it goes. Here we have Two Democrats, Hillary and Obama, competing against each other. Democrats, yes democrats, who I noticed have a tendency to vote for-- guess which party--that is right—Democrats. Now, stay with my reasoning here; I will not go too fast for you, ok. Since the “Democrats” are voting for “Democratic Presidential Nominees” is it just possible, even plausible, and down right probable, that the “Democrats” will vote for a “DEMOCRAT” during the general election! Furthermore, and I will try not to get too complex here, since the “Democrats” have been turning out in record numbers to vote or Hillary or Obama (both of which are: democrats,) isn’t it probable that they will vote for a “DEMOCRATIC” candidate! Now comes the “tricky part.” Doesn’t this simply, and I mean very simple, basic logic suggest that Hillary’s argument that she can win the “Big Blue States” against another “DEMOCRAT” become meaningless? And finally, since Barrack Obama seems to be able to draw in independents better than Hillary, wouldn't he be (and I’m just spit balling here) A MORE ELECT ABLE PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE—since he is leading in the popular vote and in pledged delegates that represent the will of the American People. Oh, rest assure, we Democrats will prevail because somewhere, I once read, yes, that’s’ it---A government for the people—by the people---Yes, yes They must have been talking about the “Super Delegates.” Not.

What is Hillary's deal with puffing up John McCain. The favorable remarks she gives towards him make one believe she's running ON HIS TICKET!

She probably has realized the reality of the situation. It's will be very very tough to win enough pledged delegates so she wants to tank the party and endorse McCain.

Anything good about the Clinton legacy went downt he tubes with these primaries in my view.

Why didn't any reporters ask what exactly is the "commander-in-chief threshold"?

What do you guys and gals do all day long besides transcribe stories from the AP newswire to your own website?

All I know about Clinton's remarks, though, is that, her overseas trips with Sheryl Crow and Sinbad do not push somebody over any "commander in chief" threshold I could ever imagine. What IS necessary, however, is the judgment to make the right decisions the first time. Clinton has a history of failing the first time, from the bar exams to health care to Iraq. She refuses to acknowledge what went wrong when she failed, only that she was "duped" and "tricked" by the Republicans...

Since the name of Chicago defendant Antoin ‘Tony’ Rezko has come up in national debate, it seems fair to look at donations from other defendants in Chicago’s “Operation Board Games.”

Of the other five defendants, three have donated to the Clintons or to Clinton supporters, three have donated mostly to Republicans, and at least two have donated to Obama’s political opponents. None have donated to Obama...

Kim, Pasadena, CA — Thu, 06 Mar 2008 23:12:54 GMT

Senator Clinton will lose a national security argument against Senator McCain. She should think of a different argument.

Senator Obama will beat Senator McCain on national security because he showed the judgment to be against the debacle in Iraq, he showed the judgment to seek strikes against Al Quaeda in Pakistan (something the Bush administration is finally doing) and he shows the judgment that negotiation is not a reward for good behavior, rather it is what we do to stop bad behavior.

Senator Obama is the right candidate, at the right moment with the right judgment to be the 44th President of these United States of America.

Whether you know it or not, in that statement you actually raised McCain above yourself in your desperate attempt to belittle Obama. You have no sense of loyalty, shame, humility, care, concern, or sense of fairness! Hillary you care about no one but yourself. I am ashamed that you are representing American women.

... Her(HRC) ad says:
As chairman of the oversight committee charged with the force of fighting al Qaeda in Afghanistan, he was too busy running for President to hold even one hearing.

That's a lie. Not one of these subcommittees is "charged with the force of fighting al Qaeda in Afghanistan" (Hillary seems to have the Senate confused with the Army) but the one with the most direct jurisdiction would be the Subcommittee on Near East and South and Central Asian Affairs, which is chaired by John Kerry. Obama is the chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Subcommittee on European Affairs.

Furthermore, Obama's subcommittee didn't meet frequently before he the chair, either. I can't find a record of their meetings online anywhere, but I vaguely remember hearing on the news when this "story" first broke months ago that the subcommittee had often gone years without meeting. If anyone can find that story, I'd love to put up a source. The subcommittee didn't meet much because most important issues relating to NATO have been handled by the full Foreign Relations Committee. Obama has been an active participant in the full committee.

--
Clinton Says Obama Was MIA on Afghanistan. But Was She, Too?

excerpt: ... But the full foreign relations committee, under the guidance of Senator Joe Biden, has held several hearings on Afghanistan that covered NATO's role there. It's not as if the foreign relations committee did nothing on Afghanistan because Obama did not take on the mission. Also, as happens with many committees, the chair of the full committee reserves the right to handle the big issues him- or herself, and Afghanistan counts as a big issue.

No doubt you get exoperience within proximity. Saying you don't get first hand experience of being a president if your husband was President and you were the First Lady is rediculous. Of course you do. she isn't saying I have had experience being president but just that she is experienced in what it takes to be a president. She is a life long politician and political activist.

I am profess neither party but when the democrats put goofey John Kerry up aginst Bush, it was a joke. Kerry was/is a joke. Why not put the stronger and less pliable candidate against the Republicans? Doesn't obama resemble Kerry? Wafey. Goofey. Not firm/rigid. I sincerely don't see him as a politician, therefore, I certainly can't visualize him as president.

Sounding like a war-monger is probably not a way to get Democratic votes. Her belligerant commander in chief talk gives me a cold chill. I fear that she will want to prove she is tough with military adventures to compensate for the perception of women.

"I think it's imperative that each of us be able to demonstrate we can cross the commander-in-chief threshold" Is that what her Iraqi invasion vote was all about? So she could demonstrate she could cross the threshhold? Is that why all those people died so she could fill her resume to run for president?

I am so tired of George Bush wannabees.

Real military commanders will tell you that they don't want war and are man enough to admit it. Resorting to war is an admission of failure.

I'm honestly not sure I'm comfortable with candidates having discussions with foreign leaders now on there own. It just doesn't seem right to me.

One of the things that bothers me most about the Clinton campaign is how self-aggrandizing they are, and how they expect everything that HRC as taken as THE TRUTH with no questions asked.

She convened this meeting to talk about her qualifications. Uh OK. But a meeting where people talk (as was described) doesn't seem to prove much of anything.

I honestly don't think any of the candidates in this race have been "vetted" as foreign policy experts or as having the "right stuff" in terms of security credentials. But if I have to choose between Clinton and McCain on the issue of security credentials, I hate to break it to Hillary but I'll choose McCain any day of the week. I think its a HUGE mistake for her and her campaign to make this a dominant issue of her campaign.

Obama, at least, can draw distinctions between him and McCain. Hillary just is a weaker clone of McCain (more like Bush) when it comes to national security. Who needs that? Not us.

A brief survey of the leaders Clinton dealt with reveals that while important for the history books, their current status hardly makes them relevant to a possible Hillary Clinton administration:

Russian President Boris Yeltsin - dead
Pakistani Prime Minister Benazir Bhutto - assassinated
John Hume, leader of Northern Ireland Social Democratic and Labor Party and co-signer of the Good Friday peace agreement - retired.
David Trimble, head of Ulster Unionist Party and First Minister of Northern Ireland (co-signer of Good Froday agreement) - obscure member of British Conservative Party.
Czech Prime Minister Milos Zeman - retired.
Turkish Prime Minister Tansu Ciller - retired.
Jordanian King Hussein - dead.
British Prime Minister Tony Blair - resigned.
South African President Nelson Mandela - retired.
Chinese President Jiang Zemin - retired.
Philippine President Fidel Ramos - retired, former member of Carlyle Group International Advisory Board.
Indian Prime Minister P.V. Narasimha Rao - dead.
Moroccan King Hassan - dead.
Bosnian President Alija Izetbegovic - dead.
German Chancellor Helmut Kohl - retired, enmeshed in scandal.
Israeli Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin - assassinated.
Palestinian leader Yasir Arafat - dead.
Saudi King Fahd - dead.
Indonesian President Suharto - dead.
French President Jacques Chirac - retired.
Mexican President Ernesto Zedillo - retired, serves on international advisory board of Coca Cola Company.
Brazilian President Fernando Henrique Cardoso - retired.
Canadian Prime Minister Jean Chretien - retired.
Australian Prime Minister Paul Keating - retired.
Japanese Prime Minister Ryutaro Hashimoto - dead.
Argentine President Carlos Menem - retired, under investigation for fraud.

Senator Clinton has quite an array of world leaders in her scrap book. Unfortunately, they are only relevant to her if she is writing a history book, testifying on their behalf in a criminal trial, or conducting a seance. As far as calling at 3 am world leaders listed in Clinton’s Rolodex, only people like Irish Prime Minister Bertie Ahern may be of assistance since he is one of the very few world leaders who was in power when Hillary was First Lady.

Here are some Real Tough Questions you should get ready for Senator Clinton

• What type of Foreign Policy Experience has Senator Clinton had
• While President Clinton was in the White House was Hillary Clinton giving security clearance to read any national intelligent information in case a crisis came up
• What Foreign Leaders has she met with and what were the bases of the meetings.
• Why didn’t Senator Clinton read NIE Report before she voted to go to war?
• Do you think if Chelsea were in the military, she would have exercised more precaution before agreeing with President Bush War Strategy
• Why did it take Senator Clinton until now to regret her vote?
• What makes her a more qualified woman to be President over someone like Barbara Boxer who actually had the courage to vote against the War
• Why is your campaign taking money from a Firm being accused of Serial Sexual Harassment?
• Has one of Senator Clintons campaign chairman also taken money from Tony Rezko and if so
• Has Senator Clintons campaign chairman given the money back or donated to charity
• Don’t you think Courage is more important than being Politically Safe?

Hillary spent the vast majority of her legal career in Little Rock working for an all-white coporate law firm representing big busines and corporations. To this day, the Rose Law Firm has no non-white lawyers. Just check out the firm's web site! While she took a job out of law school with the Childrens Legal defense Fund, she stayed less than a year to sell out and become a corporate lawyer and a woman who spent most of her time fighting for the interests of Walmart. Whats so great about that experience?

Since most of the presidents/leaders she had tea with have either retired or are dead, she too should consider retiring and keep her senate seat. This election is about the future not the past. Since she is not going to accept that advice, why not ask those leaders that are still alive to write letters of endorsement emphasizing the experience she gained.

You know Senator Clinton... you are starting to look pathetic.

But in truth she fights like a girl...she can dish it out but if a question gets directed her way it's 'don't be mean to lil ol me'. The article suggests that we may not want someone so unstable to answer any phone at any time in the white house. It also points out that Obama is stable and more moderate when he's winning and when he's losing. Senator Clinton you have been all over the place... your credibility is splintering. It was someone from your campaign talking to someone in Canada about NAFTA. Right now you look like the 'same old, same old washington politician that is willing to DO ANYTHING to win and it's really sad because you are the first woman to make it so far...

Mrs. Clinton forcefully denied the allegations on January 27, 1998, one day after the President's public denial. She admitted that the American people "should certainly be concerned" if a President had an affair and lied to cover it up. She acknowledged that it would be a "very serious offense." But she emphasized that the allegations were false -- a "pretty bad" smear. She noted that the President "has denied these allegations on all counts, unequivocally." And Mrs. Clinton shifted the focus away from the President, indicated that "this is a battle" and stated that "some folks are going to have a lot to answer for" when the facts come out.(461)

Being the wife of a former President doesn't automatically qualify you to be commander-in-chief, or we might as well convince Laura Bush to run against McCain for the Republicans. Obama has had more experience in elective office than Hillary, only the brainwashed Hillary zealots would claim so otherwise. Obama is just going to keep on showing that he is the better man by getting more and more on the offensive but still staying positive, repeatedly demanding Hillary release her tax returns is definitely one way to respond to Hillary's kitchen sink Rovian campaign.

If she(her and Bill) are leaders they sure do not know how to bring their team or party along, and that is not leadership that is selfish. Nancy and Harry need to reflect on this, I really think if she wins the White House the leadership in the House and Senate will shift again to the Republicans in 2010. Just my thoughts.

Hillary Clinton does have more incite to being the next commander in chief compared to Obama. Hillary has been with Bill since the very beginning of his political agenda and you would have to be absolutely comatose not to be aware of what it takes to be president. The Clintons' marriage, like many marriages where there is a shared goal of success for
one spouse, where there is equal competency in intellect, knowledge, plus a common bond, etc. is simply completely different from most marriages. Hillary witnessed the workings of The White House for 8 years and it would be foolish for anyone to think this is irrelevant. Maybe it was a "shared presidency"---I would think this would be a plus for anyone. Trust me, there is a lot of truth to the the old saying,"behind every successful man is a woman".

Enough talk about letting the voters have a say. Don't insult our intelligence. The voters and pledged delegates are split down the middle with no indications that the remaining states will change that.
Are we going to suffer through the negative attacks, distortions, distractions, misrepresentations, campaign propaganda, and maybe even outright lies, that are sure to come if this goes on to the convention? This will seriously weaken the Democratic Party and its chance of winning in November.
Don't pander to us with your false high-minded ideals of letting the people decide. We've demonstrated that we can't decide, decisively anyway. So it's up to you, SUPERDELEGATES, to settle this. The longer you wait, the more damage will be done.

Obama failed to close the deal. In Ohio, despite outspending Hillary 3 to 1, Obama carried only 5 out of 88 counties, FIVE! Those five counties are where the large black vote is, the only group of voters that Obama won. He carried the black vote by 86%. If you can't win Ohio, you can't win the Presidency.

Obama is unelectable. Obama needs to exit the race and the Dems need to rally behind Hillary, NOW.

Her sniveling petty attacks, constant complaining,
and lack of answering the tough Questions...
makes me question he ability to be President!
HOW will she mandate Health care.
What does she consider AFFORDABLE health care...$200. or $1000. a month. What if you are a family with 2 children, WHAT will it cost a family of FOUR a month for her MANDATED Health care?
How will she ENFORCE this, with FINES, and then American's still won't have insurance??
When ALOT of American people are finding it difficult to pay for GAS, or buy that gallon of milk, how will they PAY for this insurance?
Will their wages be attached??
And if so, that means even less gas and milk for their families!
She has NEVER answered these questions!
She just keep talking about Obama.
Why doesn't she ANSWER THE QUESTIONS?
or doesn't she want the American voters to know the answer until AFTER the nomination?

She seems to be more of same...
like her NEW FREIND John McCain...
and HIS FREIND BUSH!

Wow, Obama supporters are out in force today. Good morning :) So I guess Clinton helping negotiate in Northern Ireland, acting as an envoy in Kosovo and fighting for women's rights in China (when they did not want her to come) doesn't count for anything. I guess her experience on the Senate Armed Forces Committee (which I hear actually has meetings) does not count either. I understand that Obama supporters are never going to believe the Hillary is experienced. If you are undecided and reading these posts, I just ask you to look at her actual record. She has done much more with foreign policy than her opponent. Pointing out her qualifications does not make her a "monster" as the Obama campaign has called her.

Have a great day!

One can only wonder that, when the phone rang at 3:00 am, what her 'hands on experience' involved. Shame on you Hillary, for using a tactic that you, yourself, have never felt. Fear. Try waking up in the middle of the night with sirens going off and calls of 'incoming' sounding everywhere. The only thing you're afraid of is losing. Get real, because the real world is a lot scarier than you could ever imagine.

I did not know that the threshold to be president had lowered so much!
New Threshhold: Have a known name nationwide. That is it. Being arrogant, value loyalty over qualification, stubborness are also a plus.

fyi

Obama did not have a vote on the war. So to say that he was against the war is pointless. alot of Americans did not vote for the war either and as you can see that did not stop the war from happening. Also am not to sure if Obama had a chance to vote on the war he would have voted along party lines. He speaks about change but change in politics means having both house and a solid relationship with big business. No president can get anything done without the 3 items mentioned above. This is not Camelot. Obama nor Clinton has earned my vote. But if I was to vote today I would vote for Clinton. Am not willing to take the wait and see position with Obama and his wife pissed me off with some of her comments....One day we'll wake up and get it.

Did I read this correctly that HRC said her Republican opponent was more qualified to be CIC than her Democratic opponent? And then with the Ken Starr crap yesterday as well?

This is what I get for supporting them in the 90's? The Clintons can go scratch. This is exactly why she is not winning this race and will have no chance. Voters are sick of this type of thing, which is why she will never understand the secret of Obama's success.

For the first time in 6 presidential elections, her behavior in the past two days has caused me to make my first-ever donation to a political campaign...

By the way, Hillary, I live in Indiana and will be voting on May 6...

Obama 2008!

McCain will say the things that Clinton is already saying.

So, why can't she say it now? Obama's own voters are saying it anyway in their exit pole.

Democrats will win based on economy, education and healthcare.

But if they start with giving up the commander in chief role to Republican to start with, the candidate can not win.

In last 42 years since Carter, only one Democrat has won and that Democrat was rendering terrorist individuals rather than destroying Countries like Republicans.

Democrats can make the case as Commander in Chief. They can not hope Republicans will be nice to them and not bring up this issue.

Hillary Clinton is running as a tuff-as-nails
Commander-In-Chief.

Only one small problem with this...

We already have a nominee who actually IS a
tuff-as-nails Commander-In-Chief.

Say hello to President John McCain!

I see that most people have the same question I do. What experience does HRC have? She was the first lady, yes understood, but I seriously doubt that anyone was asking for her opionion on national security issues while Bill was running this country. I am a independent voter and will vote for the person I think will put American's first. My vote is going to Mr. Obama. HRC is just tearing the Dem. party apart. But I expect nothing else from the Clinton family. They only care about themselves, not the American people.

Heres a question, If Rezco is no big deal with Obama supporters why are they trying to hang him around Clintons neck.
You guys really know how to play double standards really well.
Also, She has experience working in government, she was not just Bills wife for all those years, but Obama supporters are willing to ignore history to make their argument that she has no experience.
Why do you think that Clinton supporters will not just jump on your bandwagon, it is because your arguments are weak and full of holes.
You have, from the very beginning, tore down Senator Clinton, complained about HER being negative and spent very little time telling us why Senator Obama is the better candidate.
While I have looked at both web sites and compared their issues, most Obama supporters have used the politics of personality to argue for their candidate, and then blamed Clinton for the things that they themselves are doing everyday.
If you can't support your candidate on the issues then why should I even think about voting for him?
If you can answer that question then I will listen but if you continue down the road you have been traveling on, I will continue to ignore you.
Like I have always said, I will vote for the party candidate, who ever it is, while I see many independents crying foul and saying they will jump ship and vote for McCain if Hillary is the choice.
So, if you don't get your way in our party you will switch sides and vote for the candidate with the least experience on the economy, sounds like you would cut off your nose to spite your face.
And you call Clinton supporters uneducated!
Sounds like emotions sway you over intellect.
Oh well, zealots never listen to reason, they don't have to, they are completly right on everything. Sounds like republicans to me, so join the elephant party because you are not the independent thinkers you would have us believe you are.

How can anyone deny that Hillary Clinton spent at least 8 years very near the center of action. She was not an official participant in the meetings etc. but as a participant at diplomatic functions she met, spoke and developed a relationship with many current world leaders. Compared to the experiance brought by other individuals to the White House I think she ranks high on the list.

Obama has made a point of the value of his anti-war arguement being superior to Clinton or McCains' based on his position on the war when he was running for his Senate seat. I may not agree with his point but he isn't being unfair.

Clinton has made a point of her being better prepared to argue experiance with John Mccain due to her familiarity with Washington and international politics. You may not agree but it is a fair arguement.

One might reasonably question how working hard on the streets of Chicago to improve the lot of the neighborhood prepares one for the international stage? If you think being a communitee organizer provides the sophistication and training one might need to deal with other world leaders in times of conflict then Barach is qualified in this area.

I want to know whos ready to take on the economy, our troops, and seems to me you are finding the irag more important and issue than this...Tell me when the troops come home to an american with no job, oil, gas, care for the families, etc. what are you going to tell them im more worried about be commander in cheif so i can continue the war, knowing that i also dont have a more funds to cintinue unless i drain the american people first....The war is important to me to have the troops come home with dignity and completeing there mission, but right now
Ther is not an American country to come home to the rating of our government is 24 percent, what a sham...Where are all these politicians, running around the country making promises that should have been addressed years ago.....No its politics as usual with parties first and the american people last...It also amazes me to see these people who once were elecdted politicians and some employed at the White House now news people or supposedly experts and good at stirring up the fire with what they think is the best for this country...Media seems to have control of the elections and voters have no idea who to trust.....We need change and unfortunatley it wont happen until the American Voter takes back washington....
