I really don't want Senator O Bama's kind of change. I can just see Rev Wright shouting that there is going to be a change with O Bama, he kept saying "a change is comming". I don't want a first lady tht has not been proud of the US until recently(Although the US is the country that provided her with a $300,000 salary and had elected her husband to the US senate.) as Rev Wright would say no, no, no,. The Clintons have always been proud of the US and all of it's citizens, black and white. I fear that the country is buying a bunch of glorious speeeches. A different one for ever time Senator Bama has a new foul up. Almost always he is trying to convince us that we are at fault for his mess ups. Just be tolerant of ante white raciest comments from his pastor and congregation. Msnbc is the biggest race bator in the race. Lecturing everyone, if anyone brings up Rev Wright or any of O Bama's remarks that are so cutting. Vote for someone that truly is proud to be an American, and that is Senator Clinton.

I don't trust the Obama machine! I don't trust Obama.

Something STINKS! He's too manufactured! What little history he has is riddled with absence from his job, radical associations, and mafia like dealings along with his meager governmental experience. There's too much wrong and not enough right.

Don't get me started on Michele's history of radical leanings...

At least I know where Hillary has been. I know that she has NOT been convicted of any wrongdoing. I know that she has always strived to make life better for all Americans. I know that Americans had it better when her like thinking Rhodes Scholar husband held office.

He keeps saying "Change" but never really explains what that will be. So at this point I view it as being special interest advantage because they supported him. And more often than not I hear that business will continue to be involved in these changes. Is he more republican in nature? Personally I want business kept far away from my health care. I not longer wish to worry about losing coverage because I lose a job. I no longer wish to worry about paying for extreme high cost gap coverage. I no longer wish to be left destitute when extreme profit taking rips away the lifestyle I've worked so hard for. Has he promised any of this? Why can't Americans have a better health care system like some other countries? Aren't we good enough? Is big business THAT important to him?

The boys are gathering for the new Obama club. He's going to have a multitude of favors to repay!

Hillary is not a racist. She merely reiterated a media phrase which happened to be a mundane election fact. The Clintons have always held people of color in esteem. But, as usual the Obama drones continue to debase her any chance they get. They are bullies. It's no surprise that the machine was built around a young black man. Since when is it better to hire someone with LESS experience? Oh wait, I get it...he's the new American Idol! Less talent more charisma! Wow...

I believe in and will VOTE FOR HILLARY CLINTON!

I AM conservative but !11:13AMMay 12th 2008

WHAT????????? Race baiting???? Where are you coming from??? Facts are NOT race baiting.....stir the pot honey...."Sh-- stirrers"..that is all the Media has become....no where on earth has Hillary done any race baiting...grow up...talk facts and it becomes a race issue..as I said before..here it comes....can't fight the boy with facts...if he was a man of equal standing you could...feeling less than equal then the race issue has to be THE issue.....either he is qualified to be a President or get the heck out....if he is not because of his race then quit now....if he can not stand on the facts alone....quit! STOP crying RACE everytime he is faced with a FACT! Liberals Grow UP!

Our economy was in 'high-swing' when Bill Clinton was President. I believe, as I feel many other americans believe, that Hillary Clinton can also turn our current poor economy around so that all americans benefit. Senator Clinton has the intelligence and experience to change our country if she is given the nomination from the DNC. Our country is at a turning point in history and now is not the time to gamble with our current and future financial stability.

brigittepj11:19AMMay 12th 2008

I find it ironic that the Clintons are accused of race baiting when that's all Obama has done throughout this nominating process. I've never seen such a divisive candidate in my life! To be fair, the media is as much to blame as his campaign. Every single day, they have made race an issue.

I've been so sickened by all of this that, after years, I left the Democratic Party on Friday and intend to support John McCain for president. Not because I agree with him, but because it is a vote against Barack Obama and his racially polarizing campaign. I'm afraid if I, and many others, just stay home, Obama can still pull off a win. I will vote Democrat downticket so we can maintain a balance of power.

Obama is not the right president for this country. He belongs to a church that is founded on hatred of the white race and preaches against the US Government. I can't for the life of me understand how anyone who calls themselves an American can support him. I certainly don't.

christinefisherA11:24AMMay 12th 2008

Why is there no mention of OBAMA's horrendous 59 states comment????????????? This is a man who is running for the LEADER of OUR COUNTRY. He doesn't even know how many states there are. OBAMA stated he has visited "57 states already, but not including Alaska and Hawaii." This person has no military experience and has only had 4 years of congressional and senatorial experience. What is wrong with this picture? Hillary has won all the major states and will clearly defeat McClain. 59 States??????? I would like to hear the list from Obama's mouth.

Son of Liberty11:30AMMay 12th 2008

The REPUB party SUCKS

McCain has corporate lobbyist running his effin campaign.

McSame is going to place the america people on the slave blocks to be sold to highest corporate bidder.

You effin people place two oil men in office in 2000 n 2004 and wonder why you have high gas prices and food costs.

and you going to now write on these blog site that you can trust Obama...i don't know him. The man self wrote two Auto Bio books of his life.... get educated you clowns.

Or Obama is not experience....Listen you &^%%$ people we don't need an experience Wash DC insider like McCain or the Clinton"s we NEED
CHANGE FROM THAT CORPURT WASHINGTON SYSTEM.

Wow. The Hillary supporters are really angry.

Wow. L you must be a jackass. Because someone doesn't go to college doesn't mean they're stupid. I know plenty of college graduates that are horses posteriors. You are an elitist just like Obama. You think you're smart just because your parents had the money to send you to college. Harry S Truman didn't graduate from college and he became President. He was probably one of our smartest Presidents because he learned from books, life experience, and people. Obviously you've learned from none of those.

suzanne11:34AMMay 12th 2008

#1 Hillary Clinton was not RACE batting when she "RESPONDED" TO AN "AP" report she was asked a question in REGARD TO IT and she responded. Every political round table as- hole on TV yesterday did exactly what Obama supporters wanted them to do make her sound racist.
Every political round table as- hole has said exactly that over and over and over again where's racism the cry for racism when they do it??????? Hit them with the race card for a change they infuse it EVERY DAY!!!!
TIM RUSSERT has said EXACTLY WHAT HILLARY REPEATED how does this make her RACIST so sick of this double standard crap . HIT TIM RUSSERT WITH THE RACIST STICK!!

Susie11:41AMMay 12th 2008

I am sooooo amazed at all of you raciest people. The only reason you all are saying you wont vote for Obama is simply that he's a black man. You all must be related to George Wallace.

buckskin71111:47AMMay 12th 2008

typical lying aol poll showing bias ........why are most of the comments saying that obama is the one race baiting, but a largest number of people say no he isnt ? lying aol and polls. how stupid they think we are.

You moron Barack is from Hawaii and Hillary nor Bill has military experience and having military is experience is not a prerequisite for being president of the United States.

We don't need another Washington insider for President of the US we need REally change.

He has been a STATE SENATOR in 1997 and a US Senator since 2004.

Obama has ran a NATION WIDE CAMPAIGN FOR THE PAST 16 MONTHS. The campaign that Obama is leading is almost flawless. excellently ran, it has been finance very well with the grass root organizer of 1.5mil, He has created large new influx of young democrat voters.
and the SO CALLED experience candidate finance in shambles; resignations and low staff morale; emotional mood swings of Clinton. No consistent message to the voters.

WHO WAS IT THAT SAID A "TYPICAL"" WHITE"" PERSON?????

The question heading this article rather should be:
"is the biased title of this article looking to misled and bash a candidate I don't want?"

Coates Bateman is a blogger. Not a journalist.
We've become so lazy in this country that "blogging" is now the new "news"...just sit a write. The investigtive and getting all the facts be damned.

Goodwin, F. M.D12:39PMMay 12th 2008

You can certainly delineate that this 2008 election is all about self-assurance to Barack Obama. He was more or less given, in football terms, a 4 TD advantage in the 3rd QRTR by the obviously iniquitous media, and Barack at the end of the day was just able to squeak out a small win.

That's certainly why, when you talk to the Obama supporter the first thing they will say is, "they were smarter than Hillary." We have all seen it, what we must now ask is why? Why? Because the reality that it was given to Barack is not something the fragile male ego can deal with. It goes against everything he's been brainwashed to believe in. Having to face a new reality, having to search for a new crutch is a tedious process for even the strongest of us, he no longer has the crutch that whites are racist against blacks, the crutch that America is the enemy of freedom in the world. After all, whites have nominated him, and if America is so God awful, how could he have been nominated? Obama now must search long and hard for that new crutch that will keep him warm at night.

However, this is never a process that should ever take place in the office of the presidency of the United States. The highest most powerful position in the world. This is a process that should have taken place in the US Senate, where Obama will have had the time to realize that the old crutch just isn't a correct or reasonable crutch the position of President of the United States.

Blogging is the equivalent of Fox News.

As has been attributed to Will Rogers: "Make an American think they are thinking, they love you. Make an American really think, they'll hate you."

liz12:41PMMay 12th 2008

Typical Hot Seat question. You forgot to add option #4 - It's NOT race baiting.

The media has done a fine job of turning this election into one of race.

Enough of this yellow-journalism. Don't you have REAL news to report on or do you have to continually make it up as you go??

smiley181412:47PMMay 12th 2008

it cracks me up everytime i read someone saying that Obama is racist against white people or complaining about him saying "typical white people". Has everyone forgotten that he is half-white..ofcourse the news doesnt say this..they only say his mother was white.He has just as much white blood running thru his veins as black blood but people on see the complextion and associate him with being strickly black. so have can a man who is half white and was raised by his white mother and white grandparents be racist to white people..lol.

Jill Hoch12:52PMMay 12th 2008

RACE BAITING TACTICS-HOW STUPID

She quoted an article stating Obama was losing the hard working white vote and that's race baiting?? You guys are a bunch of idiots. You want Hillary out of the race sooo bad that you'll make up any ole kind of crap to make her look bad...

You all are acting like 3rd rate papparazzi. Go back to school and relearn journalism ethics and leave the reporting to professionals...
