Oh no here we go. Who is going to start bashing Obama because these folks are Muslim? Just a note. For a country that fought to have religious freedom I'd say it's pretty sad that there are only two Muslim members in Congress. But that’s another story.

Hopefully people see pass the fact that this person is Muslim and is back Senator Obama. I love what Chris Matthews said on the Colbert Report a couple nights ago. He (Matthews) was talking about his childhood aspirations of always wanting to be a Senator. But what really got me was him saying, "There's a different between being a celebrity and really helping people and making a change in their lives." I apologize for the misquote, but this supports my argument. Many persons in Congress genuinely want to help the American people. And I find that amazing. So hopefully people see past the fact that this person is Muslim and back Barack and look at him as a person that represents you fellow Americans in congress and fights for the American people.

WOMAN FOR OBAMA '08 — Wed, 16 Apr 2008 14:41:17 GMT

I have actually been very ashamed of the so-called 'Super' Delegates. I have researched and read a lot about why they are even in existence. I do not understand the Democratic Party thinking there are elected members of their party who are more important than the millions of American voters. They are there to 'protect' us from ourselves if we picked the wrong candidate. I cannot think of anything more patronizing and blatantly 'elitist' than this assertion by the Party itself.

And....these so-called SDs........are hiding in the corner afraid of incurring the Clinton wrath if the support Obama - look what they did to Richardson - and don't want to HAVE to make a decision. These are the people who are supposed to SAVE us??? I think there is way to much power/importance being given to men and women who obviously cannot decide any better than we can.

Says The Boss:

Dear Friends and Fans:

LIke most of you, I've been following the campaign and I have now seen and heard enough to know where I stand. Senator Obama, in my view, is head and shoulders above the rest.

He has the depth, the reflectiveness, and the resilience to be our next President. He speaks to the America I've envisioned in my music for the past 35 years, a generous nation with a citizenry willing to tackle nuanced and complex problems, a country that's interested in its collective destiny and in the potential of its gathered spirit. A place where "...nobody crowds you, and nobody goes it alone."

At the moment, critics have tried to diminish Senator Obama through the exaggeration of certain of his comments and relationships. While these matters are worthy of some discussion, they have been ripped out of the context and fabric of the man's life and vision, so well described in his excellent book, Dreams of My Father, often in order to distract us from discussing the real issues: war and peace, the fight for economic and racial justice, reaffirming our Constitution, and the protection and enhancement of our environment.

After the terrible damage done over the past eight years, a great American reclamation project needs to be undertaken. I believe that Senator Obama is the best candidate to lead that project and to lead us into the 21st Century with a renewed sense of moral purpose and of ourselves as Americans.

Over here on E Street, we're proud to support Obama for President.

Lisa in working class New Britain, CT YES WE CAN! — Wed, 16 Apr 2008 14:48:38 GMT

I actually clicked on your link to Bruce's video of Streets of Philadelphia and realized it unleashed a political thought in me. I teared up when I saw the faces of the urban school children against the chainlink fence of their school yard and I realized. These children (urban usually minority and/or poor children) are just as forgotten as are the white rural and working class voters in small towns and they don't always vote their interests (well, their parents don't) either. In fact, many of them don't vote at all. No hope, disenchanted, not engaged by traditional politics, unskilled in advocacy.

We moved here from New York City (Brooklyn) and my children go to urban schools (one goes to a magnet school in Hartford, our capital city and one with a high poverty rate). These children ARE all my children too.

We need to engage more people. We need to recognize the frustrations and sometimes the bitterness but we need to do so as we move forward. We need to allow them to give rise to the hope that is always there but sometimes buried deep.

And that is so much why I support Obama. And the video (Streets of Philadelphia) is a good fit with Barack's campaign.

In case you have not been paying attention, it is NOT MSNBC or Chuck Todd that want Senator Obama as POTUS. It the millions of Americans who have voted FOR him!!
He is ahead in the popular vote - even w/Florida and Michigan factored in so don't go there. He is ahead in elected delegates and states won. AND...is narrowing the gap in SuperDs every day.

And if you were to read "First Read" every day, like most of us do, you would realize there have been just as many GOOD reports on HRC as there have been on BHO. There have also been as many BAD reports on both of them as well.

I think Chuck Todd and his team do a very good job of balancing the reporting even though there are times I think they are picking on my candidate of choice. There are good days, and there are bad days for both of them. So goes the ocean tide......so goes politics.

There's no conspiracy against Clinton. What stuns me is the near-religious fervor with which Clinton supporters still defend "their girl."

When a reputable news organization dares to report something that the "converted to Clinton" deem negative, that news organization is suddenly biased.

With today's debate coming, this should boost Obama's spirits after what seems now to be a media-induced week of missplaced hysteria. Based on the polls, I guess MOST people realize Obama may have misspoken, but his heart (and mind) were in the right place.

You're wasting your time trying to use logic and reason on people like Chuck Todd, and the other two clowns who write for this message board.
They are prostitutes for their master, "Pimp Daddy B.O."
The things you say about Obama are absolutely true. He is a lying scumbag.
But, the mainstream media NEVER picks up on it. They generally make excuses for the guy, and then attack Hillary as if she were the devil herself.
His latest remark, about people who go to church or who own guns being "bitter" is laughable to the point of obscenity.
I'm sure the moderators at tonight's debate will find someway to softball that, along with the "beer and shot" comment too.
The man LIES constantly, and never gets called out on it. I think its' because the media saw what happened to Don Imus and they are afraid of being labled racists.

Into the bus stop to pick up a paper for my old man
I'd sit on his lap in that big old Buick and steer as we drove through town
He'd tousle my hair and say son take a good look around this is your hometown
This is your hometown
This is your hometown
This is your hometown

In '65 tension was running high at my high school
There was a lot of fights between the black and white
There was nothing you could do
Two cars at a light on a Saturday night in the back seat there was a gun
Words were passed in a shotgun blast
Troubled times had come to my hometown
My hometown
My hometown
My hometown

Now Main Street's whitewashed windows and vacant stores
Seems like there ain't nobody wants to come down here no more
They're closing down the textile mill across the railroad tracks
Foreman says these jobs are going boys and they ain't coming back to your hometown
Your hometown
Your hometown
Your hometown

Last night me and Kate we laid in bed
talking about getting out
Packing up our bags maybe heading south

Last night I sat him up behind the wheel and said son take a good look around

Yesterday, I wrote a large pro Hillary piece on another comment forum and the piece was picked up by (I think) a virus and deleted. They message I got back was "Slow down, why write so fast".

At that point I just let it go from my mind. But today I see about 90% Pro Obama/anti Hillary posts and have to wonder if it is the virus self selecting posts. I say this because I generally read comments every day and usually see somewhere around a 50/50 ratio.

This would vary by article, but today on almost all sites I'm seeing about 90% pro Obama/anti Hillary. Just thought I'ld mention it.

Lynne, The preponderance of evidence (personal style, campaign style, message, life story, financial ties, etc., etc.) favor one candidate above all else. Sure, we can all find a fault or two with each person. Last I checked, there hasn't been a perfect human for over 2000 years. So, while some of the criticisms need to be discussed (like Mr Springsteen points out) we should put them in the context of everything else. Peace.

Lynne - At your suggestion I went to the Chicago Sun Times websites and looked for articles on the Auchi connection. Here are some quotes I found there:

"It doesn't connect Auchi to Obama.

The biggest problem for me is that the testimony comes from Stuart Levine, whose testimony the Government has purchased with promises of leniency for his own misdeeds.

It was previously reported that details of fundraisers Rezko held at his Williammette Mansion would come up at trial. The fundraiser Rezko held for Obama was in 2003. Did the then-drug addled Levine get his dates and parties mixed up? Wouldn't surprise me.

I continue to believe and want to stress again there is no suggestion here that Obama did anything wrong or illegal in his dealings with Rezko"

Thanks for helping me understand that's there absolutely nothing to those charges. Good job clearing that up!

Chuck (or other authority on the matter)
question on delegate count - do the numbers as typically presented include the pledged and super delegates from florida and michigan? shouldn't that be broken out or at least clearly indicated that the count does or does not include these delegates that (most likely) won't be seated? if included, doesn't the count underestimate obama's true lead in delegates? and if excluded doesn't it underestimate how close hillary really is if some kind of deal can be brokered on the fl and mi delegates?

Lynne in Ar get over it Silly Hillie is defeated and by a better candidate. If she was running against someone more like herself we'd have been hearing questions about Vince Foster and the little Arkansas airport used by the Clintons for drug smuggling and on and on. Senator Obama's better than that.

Just a note to say Bravo to Lynne,LR,AR. I am so glad to learn that I am not alone observing the huge bios that MSNBC has for Obama. I am an Hillary supporter and I realize that she can not win and I have decided to vote for McCain. I have never voted for a republican in all the years that I have been able to vote and I am 60 years old. You at MSNBC should be ashamed of yourselves. I can guarantee that people like myself and Lynne will discover why you were instructed by your network to get Obama elected and when we do I will make it my own personal mission to bring your network and all of your so-called anchors down. You should be ashamed and I think someday you will. I think if enough of us follow the money it will lead all of us to your reasoning. For now I am boycotting GE products and all Newsweek publications and I have asked by family, friends and co-workers to do the same. America has missed a great opportunity to become the shining star of the planet again, instead we will have to deal with a falling one.

Cmon Lynne, Goerge Bush backs McCain and he's personally responsible for murdering thousands of Iraqi's. Playing "Seven Degee's of Barack Obama" is not going to sway us from voting for Barack. Now , to only found out how Barack is linked to Kevin Bacon.

Lynne LR,AR

Wow. I am amazed that you bring up Obama's alleged relationship with terrorists. Tell me, who was it that pardoned four FALN terrorists at the end of his term? Why, it was Bill Clinton! Wait, let me guess. Hillary was opposed to those pardons, right? Isn't it convenient that she was in favor of everything good that happened during Bill's adminstration, and opposed to everything bad that happened.

Tell me which is worse. An alleged relationship with terrorists, or misusing presidential power to pardon them after they commit their crimes?

Obama in 2008. Integrity matters and the Clintons have none.

Lynne, your a whinner! MSNBC people are not completely sold out to Hillary, yet. However, whenever there is a Hillary talking point, they pick it up. Just by giving her the free news coverage, when she is so bankrupt in the Ads market, is a gift from the Media.

CBS =Clinton Broadcasting Station
CNN=Clinton News Network

MSNBC==Thanks God for a little fairness--sometimes.

Fox==Completely right wing neo con.

Stop Whinning Lynne!

To Lynn in AR:

Ask HRC about the Pual vs. Clinton case that's coming up soon...there's a lot of evidence that her campaign didn't declare funds which went into it, as well as the possibility that she's perjured herself with regards to even knowing Mr. Paul (speaking of which, her relationship apparently goes back to the early 90's - if the reported video evidence is true).
It seems both the Clintons may have a problem parsing facts when under oath....

NO candidate is perfect...but I'd feel better with a cnadidate which isn't as "soiled" as she is.

Go Obama!

Obama keeps saying Clinton is the same old politics. My questions are

How long has Obama been in politics?

Obama talks about change

What has he changed since been in politics?

What makes Obama think that he can change the world's opinion of the USA?

Obama couldn't change one person opinion of the USA (rev. wright)

It's unfortunate, Domenico, that you needed to highlight the fact that Carson being a Muslim was such an important issue in your short article. Let's focus on reality: one more super for Barack. One step closer to the nomination and the presidency. Obama can unite the country. The only thing that Hillary can unite is the GOP against the democrats.

One of Springsteen's songs seems very apt for Hillary's campaign just now:

I was bruised and battered and
I couldn't tell what I felt
I was unrecognizable to myself
I saw my reflection in a window
I Didn't know My own face
I feel myself just wasting away
