46. The man has accomplished much in his young life.
Hell,he and his backers have just completed
one of the best run primary campaigns any of
us has ever seen,and won against long odds.
And for all you righties,he just saved your
asses from a Hilary Presidency!!!

47. Coming from Upstate NY I could never support Hillary, but I also cannot support Obama. Just because he has the ability to give great speeches does not automatically mean that he is a good leader, or that he is remotely qualified to be President. His promises are unrealistic at best. Sorry, I just don't buy it. It has nothing to do with color. I don't want the Democrats to lose, but they have done it to themselves. (again)

48. @ Kevin Taylor:
To all you Obama haters: I would have more respect for you if you were honest and stated your true feelings. What bugs you most is the fact Obama is black. Admit it - no black man will ever get your vote.

- - -

is this guy serious?? what, is it 1950? wow, some liberals are just having a love fest with obama's race - anytime a conservative comes with a valid critique (as in, i probably have food in my freezer that's spent more time there than obama in the senate...so why is he electable?) it is always because he is black. how convenient! i've seen way more about his race from liberals defending him than conservatives accusing...worrying trend!

i'm from illinois and i was brought up in a house and a church where race was only something that celebrated our differences - not something that separated and classified us. who cares what his racial background is? why don't you quit hiding behind his blackness and respond to the fact that he simply isn't equipped?

and who cares about earning kevin taylor's respect? clearly he hasn't spent much time reading the comments of conservatives (and others equally unimpressed by obama) who are "honest" and "stating [their] true feelings" - which is, there is NO WAY he deserves the presidency!

49. Good lord, everyone on here asking what Obama has done in the Senate. He has only been in there four years! Unlike John McCain, who has been in the Senate for 22 years. What are McCain's huge accomplishments? The only one that pops to mind is McCain/Feingold, which many on the right despise him for.
>>

McCain has stood up against the lunatic right, on immigration, stem cell, the gang of eight, you name it. He's crossed the isle and worked with democrats almost as much as he works with republicans.

Then we have an empty Black suit that has never stood up against the lunatic Left. Your boy even voted with the lunatics and against John Roberts. All this, and his mind numbed minions believe Obamy will bring people together. What we have here is a Black McGovern, and nothing more. LMAO
Obamy is all talk and no walk, which makes him the perfect liberal

Clue: There is no excuse for those that drool over the most unaccomplished boy to ever run for president. Clearly, liberalism is mental disease.

50. WOW Rebecca just told a black man that racism
ended in the '50's

BOB JOHNSON at 5:17PM on Jun 8th 2008

51. Randy

You answered the question with a statement that did not answer the question.

Hillary had the balls to answer that question directly. You cannot answer that question the same as Obama and his crony worshippers cannot, or will not. Hillary answered, why cannot one of Obama's supporters answer it.

If Iran attacked Israel with Nuclear Weapons, what would Obama do???????????????????

Robert OKane at 5:23PM on Jun 8th 2008

52. Obama is an abomination.
He is a lying, racist, sexist, bigot.
He is a con man.. a snake oil salesman.
That is why half the Dem Party want nothing to do with him.

Obama is a liar. He said he did not take big oil money. He has taken more than any other candidate.

Obama is a liar. On May 19, 2008 he said OR that Iran does not pose a threat to the USA. On May 20, 2008 in Montana he claimed he has always said Iran is a serious threat to the USA.

Obama is a racist .. check his writings, rev wright, rev phelger, his wife's thesis. Now he has refused to deny that his wife engaged in a highly toxic racist rant.

Obama is a sexist.. check youtube video of his Detroit remarks, NH primary debate, Geraldine Ferraro. Obama in Detroit called a woman journalist "sweetie", the linquistic equivalent of calling an African American "boy".

Obama is a bigot,... He sneers at the working class, those who believe in religion, own guns, are pro legal immigration but anti illegal immigration, and thos who are anti free trade with profits only for the rich.

The only people who support Obama are:
1. the naive (they don't see the con),
2. racists (ie look at the Black vote),
3. sexists (check out the male media reports on Clinton- Cenk is a big offender),
4. and bigots (all of the looney left of the Dem Party).

53. I forgot the biggie.
....
Obama is a liar. He promised the American people tough Nafta negotiations while assuring the Canadian government that they could ignore those promises as "mere campaign rhetoric". When caught, he lied and said it did not happen. Then the memo proving him a liar surfaced.

cdnbirch at 5:34PM on Jun 8th 2008

54. Clinton has "suspended" not ended her campaign.
Guess what that little chat she had with Obama was about.
I would think it is the rumor that Michelle engaged in a toxic racist rant.
Obama has refused to deny that it happened... so it looks like it did.
Obama probably thinks he can dodge this bulltet.
Clinton is waiting in the wings to save the party.

......
anyone have the tape of the Chicago Convention where supposedly Michelle Obama went postal with a racist rant?

They may have been selling it on the Trinity so called Church before the scrubbed that website clean. Or the convention may have sold a dvd.

If you have it... get it to No Quarter or a reputable news outlet (is there one?) that is not alligned with the gop or the Dem Party elite and Obama's campaign.

Rumor has it that the gop has the tape and is waiting until the fall, when it too late for Clinton to come in to drop the bomb.

.........
"Michelle Obama spoke at the "Women's Event", but referenced Bill Clinton in her rant --- his presence at the conference was the impetus for her raving, it seems.

For about 30 minutes, Michelle Obama launched into a rant about the evils of America, and how America is to blame for the problems of Africa. Michelle personally blamed President Clinton for the deaths of millions of Africans and said America is responsible for the genocide of the Tutsis and other ethnic groups. She then launched into an attack on "whitey", and talked about solutions to black on black crime in the realm of diverting those actions onto white America. Her rant was fueled by the crowd: they reacted strongly to what she said, so she got more passionate and enraged, and that's when she completely loses it and says things that have made the mouths drop of everyone who's seen this."

Bettybb at 5:36PM on Jun 8th 2008

55. cenk in Huffinton Post wrote an article claiming that it is up to Clinton to unify the party !!!!

LOL.. Obama, whose acolytes claims is the great unifer, cannot even unify the Democrats and needs to rely on his opponent to do it!

Obama, selected, not elected.

Clinton,,, won the popular vote.
Clinton... wont the swing states.

Obama.. going down to the biggest defeat in the history of the Dem Party.

Can you imagine any self respecting woman in the USA voting for Obama who calls professional women, while working, "sweetie"? '

Will he tell all men in America to do the same? Will women now be subjected to being called "sweetie" by their bosses and clients, while their male coleagues are treated with respect?
That is the world Obama wants... women as second classs citizens.

cdnbirch at 5:44PM on Jun 8th 2008

56. Rebecca - you don't seem to respect anyone. For your information, I WAS a conservative until it became clear personal attacks rather than substance was all the right had to offer. We must work together - our country will fail if we don't.

Kevin Taylor at 5:47PM on Jun 8th 2008

57. Kevin,the right has much to offer if you want
corporations to run America,If you want belligerent
foreign policy,corrupt judges,corrupt politics, continued war against the middle class,etc.
The right has nothing for most Americans to
support,so they have to get by with attack
and smear tactics,fear of the boogie men,
racism, caging lists,vote fraud,and lots
other divide and conquer tactics.
Ronald Raygun said it best for the conservative
movement by repeating how government is the enemy
of the people."Wwellll",as he would say,he and
almost every conservative elected since would
do their best to prove it.

Bob Johnson at 6:13PM on Jun 8th 2008

58. Hillary gave the right answer to an unprevoked pre-emptive nuclear strike. It's a known international fact if this happens by any nation including the United States there will be instant retaliation. Silo held nuclear weaponry is a safeguard deterrent from any such attack.

Obama didn't have the balls to answer the hardline question directly because it would compromise votes & his self righteous attempt of being a negotiative god. The man is nothing but self engaging rhetoric that only the meek & ignorant appoint themselves to listen to... There is NO NEGOTIATION of an all out nuclear strike!

Out of almost 60 comments your are the only one that resorts to profanity on here. This greatly diminishes your credibility and surely doesn't get your point across. I appreciate your attempt to copy and paste the bills Obama has "sponsored" however we both know he has not had a hand in writing a single one of them. This is as far as I will go in entertaining a conversation with you, given your maturity level on this blog and your answering with angry profanity,rhetoric and emotion rather than mature intellect.
