Paul Krugman called Hillary's proposal, in a word, "dumb."

All Hillary did was say "Alan Greenspan" over and over. She didn't realize that Alan Greenspan is partially to blame for this crisis.

Head Obama's pastor called all the Italians, "Garlic Noses".......... Let's see Obama sat in that church under Pastor Wright andlisten to him insult America, whites, Jews, and now we hear what he wrote in his magazene about the Italians.

Why did Obama stay for 20 years in this racist church and under this Pastor?

BAD judgment? Boneheaded? Obama and his hate filled wife believe this stuff.

I am an Obama supporter and I agree that the super delegates should vote according to their conscience and based on who is more electable in November. They should not blindly vote based on who wins most pledged delegates.

The reason we have Primary elections is to determine electability in November so guess what, Obama is proving that he is electable, which he has done against Ms. Clinton who was the presumptive nominee up until January. Hillary is the one who is unelectable. She couldnt even win the primaries, how can she win the General Elections. Besides she has the highest disapproval rating of any candidate. 45% of the electorate will never vote for HRC. So she only has a 55% electorate to work with. Both Obama and McCain have disapproval ratings of 26% and 27% respectively. Go figure who is more electable.

Democratic nomination was Hillary's to lose and she is losing it. How can anyone argue that she is more electable in Nov when she screwed up the primaries. It takes strategy and smarts to win elections... different strategies for primaries and general elections. Hillary has failed in the first test, and is now asking us to trust us with a bigger test in November. Obama is a once in a life time candidate who is winning against odds. And those of you who are calling him racist, you really belong in the other party, please vote for McCain whoever the democratic nominee is. I and an Obama supporter but will vote for Clinton, if she is our nominee.

For those of you who state Obama has no specific ideas on how to deal with a plunging economy and the mortgage foreclosure problem:

From the New York Times - March 27, 2008

"Mr. Obama has endorsed the best idea currently on the table to prevent foreclosure: amending the law so that troubled borrowers can have their mortgages modified in bankruptcy court. That would give lenders a big incentive to work with borrowers — reducing interest or lowering principal balances — before they opted for bankruptcy protection. Mrs. Clinton has not endorsed bankruptcy reform. She has called for $30 billion in federal funds to bolster state and local foreclosure-prevention efforts and has proposed a 90-day moratorium on foreclosures and a rate freeze on subprime adjustable mortgages. Those measures also could help, but as the crisis has developed, the problem has become less one of resetting interest rates and more one of borrowers owing more than their homes are worth. Bankruptcy reform is a better way to deal with that problem".

Obama wins this round no doubt about it. Mccain doesn't seem to have a clue and Hillary thinks she can says some stuff and turn it into gold as long as she says Obama's speech didn't say anything but use words. We all use words. It's called communication and frankly Obama is the best at this and that is what America needs. I would rather have an American President who can tell me whats going on and how we are going to solve it versus A Bush like liar who panders and sidesteps on every issue since the truth on things is not self serving to the Clintons.

Yeah well I saw Obama's speech today on the economy, and it is CLEAR that he knows what he is talking about and that he has a solid plan for turning it around.

Not to mention, when Hillary "announced a detailed, specific plan to address the housing and credit crisis," isn't her detailed plan "just words" too? How is it that whenever Obama speaks, it's "just words," but when Hillary speaks it somehow qualifies as "action"????

Obama says no personal attacks lordy no others do it for him. If Bill dares to stand by Hillary he will have to twist his words again to make him out to be bad.Obama does that so well h eshould have done it for Wright in reverse.Where is tha pastor. He prob had to take a break to get away from the Italian garlic noses he talked about in his magazine article.

You have got to be kidding me. Obama proposes basically that borrowers threaten their mortgage companies they're going to file bankruptcy to try and force the lender to lower rates or the bankruptcy court would do it for them. Why add another step to an already complicated process? If you want to force lenders to do something, then do it. Don't add the bankruptcy courts to the equation. Also, people should know that in a bankruptcy filers can reaffirm their mortgage and wouldn't lose their home. However, they still have to pay. How will the bankruptcy court determine what is fair and equitable? Also, there is something tragically wrong with "forcing" people to file bankruptcy; that's something that will stay with you for 10 years. Also, filing bankruptcy can keep people in certain industries from obtaining employment in their field. I am a housing and credit counselor. I will say that there are many who were subjected to predatory lending. However, there were many people who knew exactly what they were doing and wanted a house NOW; they weren't willing to get themselves into a better financial position before buying. I am in favor of addressing foreclosures from predatory lending; I am not in favor of rewarding bad behavior of those who should never have been in the home in the first place. Obviously, their arms weren't tied behind their back and forced to sign the loan; if tied up, they couldn't have done it.

Doesn't the whole Bosnia fiasco make everything she says about being ready to be president suspect?

Principles are the foundation of good problem solving - they are where problem-solving begins.
That, and Obama DOES have plans to solve the problems, look at his website. The principles help when unexpected hurdles come along, as they always do.

For example: I'm sure Clinton had very well laid out plans for her campaign prior to Feb. 5 (Super Tuesday) - But we have seen how, when her plans unravelled, she responded.

Her campaign is broke and she has been using the flailing, hail-mary type "kitchen sink" strategy that is not only hurting her campaign and her husband's legacy - it is tearing the party apart.

Her campaign plans obviously are not plans based on a foundation of sound principles - and that is an important differance in approach.

One of the best measures of how these people will run the country is how they run their campaigns. Pay attention to that.

That's another myth she needs to deal with.

I'm calling it right now mark my words. with the way the clintons and the obama camps are talking neither one will drop out of the race after the nomination. one of them will leave the democratic party with their supers and start a new three party system and we will see a three way race in the general.
if hillary gets the nomination obama has enough support to claim back room deals took place againest the will of the people. this would be his call for a new party.
if obama gets the nomination (which looks more likly) hillary can claim the DNC ingnored the wishes of millions of voters in FL and MI, so they could hand pick a new canidate. she could then start a new party movement and automaticly assume the mantle of a real change platform. theres no reason why she should not do this because as the polls show the canidates are all running about even. her up side is win the presidency and founder a new party. her alturnitive is to accept the obama nomination and skulk back in to the democratic party with her tail between her legs.
everybody is so focused how the nomination will end they overlook the fact that it might not.

Then, she'll have what was "rightfully hers" again in 2012. That the uncommitted superdelegates in the Democratic Party can stand and watch this unfold is a stunning dereliction of duty.

I am one of those people who would love to put a period to this race. Not because it puts a strain on voters etc but because of the nastiness that comes from the Clinton camp. If HRC spent the next 3 months making policy differences between herself and Obama it would be okay but the idea of destroying him to the point that McCain beats him in November for her to run in 2012 is appalling. She will most certainly loose to McCain if she steals this election. The fact is Both Hillary and Obama have very little policy differences.

The Obama speech was outstanding, explaining how the economy evolved into it's current state of recession, which helped lay the groundwork for understanding what needs to happen to repair the damage done by the Bush Administration.

The Clinton campaign is now in a state of desperation, and will bad mouth anything proposed by Obama, just as a matter of course. It makes them look petty and small, every time they speak.

In Clinton's response to the Obama plan is buried one of her biggest flaws - the inability to think long term about underlying problems. I've noticed that to every event she responds tactically. The let's throw 30 billion at that or 20 billion at this, while politically popular for the moment this doesn't really deal with problems at a structural level. Her plans advance her politically, at the expense of fixing systemic problems.

For the other 80%, please get on board with us and help us end this. We know who won this fight, it is time to start the healing and get behind this wonderful candidate! Please take another look at Obama...it isn't like switching teams, we are all Americans. "if you cannot change your mind, you cannot change anything!"

These special interests don't stand a chance against the over 1.2 million small donors that Obama has. Help our party grow that database and be a part of the Calvary that takes America away from those special interests! After all it is all about the Supreme Court Justices, if McCain gets in, we are going to have some pretty tough laws to abide by.

Brad, Floyd, VA — Thu, 27 Mar 2008 17:28:10 GMT

There is a myth, loudly supported by the Clinton campaign, that Obama's rhetoric is empty with no specifics. I think that anybody who has really listened to both candidates in a thorough and objective way has to notice that they're about the same in the amount of 'specifics' that they offer. Both have had plenty of time and opportunity to lay out their agendas and their plans to achieve them. It makes sense for any reasonable candidate to leave a little wiggle room when it comes to certain 'specifics'. Most things that they would attempt as president will have to be done with the cooperation of The United States Congress, a body which is designed by the Constitution to compromise. An inflexible methodology doesn't help to create the change that both candidates espouse.
John McCain, is the person in this race with no specifics in his policy portfolio, except that he specifically endorses the presidency of G.W. Bush, and he specifically supports war in Iraq for an indeterminable amount of time. When it comes to the economy, health care, education, jobs, and rebuilding US credibility, there's nothing there except his ringing endorsements of Bush. Democrats should think about this before they start threatening to vote for him.
Whichever Democrat wins the nomination is the Democrat that I'll be supporting in November.

Great Response by the Obama Team.

The "Just Words" line that the Clinton team uses in every other reference to Obama constistently shows how she is will to say anything, and do anything (including destroying the party), to get her prize. The response fromt he Obama camp of "Just Politics" is a great way to stay above the fray, and continue his message that he offers a quality alternative to the same old political tricks.

Seriously, if the Obama campaign thinks this is "the kitchen sink" they really have no clue. They sound like a bunch of puff-balls in a hockey game.

Shouldn't they just quit whining about having "the kitchen sink" thrown at them and get on with the business of telling us exactly what Barack Obama's experience is? The distraction from his own record (and pastor) is getting pretty obvious.

Has Hillary given up? All of her quotes today contained the old lines: "When the phone rings at 3:00 in the morning", "Just words", "I have a plan", and the lies that continually come out of her mouth. If she is the only one that knows anything, why does she continually have to lie about everything?

Basically Clinton told Bush he should get some economic adviser together and talk about what to do with this problem. If she thinks that Bush is going to do anything about it, she doesn't have the judgment to be president. ANYONE can tell you that Bush isn't going to be doing anything to help out the people. However, eh will do whatever it takes to help out teh banks that are losing money. I'm still waiting the see the detailed plan that she has set up since the last time she was in a debate where she wanted a moratorium on the foreclosure rate.

Didn't Senator Obama ask Ben Bernacke for the same meeting in March 2007 in a letter to the chairman?

Sen. Clinton, presidents also have to be truthful to the American citizens, something that neither George "Dumbya" Bush and you have been able to accomplish.

Hillary where is your 2006 tax return, will it take another court order for you to release it? You have lawyers going over Senator Obama's with a fine tooth comb looking for some campaign dirt. We all know there is a 'deal breaker' in your 2006 tax return. Cough it up.

Why do all the Clinton "plans" always come down to how she would task someone else to come up with a plan?

My guess its because she doesn't really know anything about anything. I know her "plan" for exiting Iraq has her tasking the wrong people to come up with that particular plan.
