God Bless You Barack. You are a fine man.

It's interesting how the MSM is making a big deal out race in this election, attesting to Clinton turning it into a race issue. Why isn't Clinton's slim, weep-induced, victory not seen as white people tilting the balance in her favor?
Hasn't it always been a race thing in this country, brought to us by Europeans?
So, black people voting in block has negative connotations, but white people using race to get to where they are is a virtue.You people should be ashamed of yourselves.Can't wait for the day when there won't be such a thing as white majority.It's coming!!!

Obama is the person for US and not Hillary Clinton. Hillary Clinton has been thrown on us without our consent. United States needs a new direction without the Clintons. We already had both for 8 years and another 4 years with Hillary. Come on now. Enough is enough. Republicans will win with Clinton.

Having a non-existent political record and lacking an understanding of Washington politics is a massive weakness - one Obama disguises, and people swallow up, as "change and hope". Sad.

The Washington Post Fact Checker columnist, Michael Dobbs, examined the Clintons' earlier critique of the Obama remark, and concluded that the Clinton attacks distorted Obama's comment. Dobbs noted that Obama never said the Republican ideas were good ones, and during the interview in which he made the comment, he went on to criticize the Republican obsession with tax cuts.

According to CNN Election Center 2008, 2,025 delegates will be needed to win the Democratic nomination for president at the Democratic National Convention to be held in Denver August 25-28. Current pledged delegate totals before the South Carolina Democratic primary election Saturday January 26 are: Obama 38, Clinton 36, and Edwards 18.
Florida will be meaningless to Democrats because like Michigan all Democratic delegates have been declared illegal by the national committee because of the state party’s non compliance in setting their primary date no sooner than Super Tuesday February 5.
But do many Super Tuesday voters currently know very much about Barack Obama?
In his books Barack Obama has told the story of the family into which he was born, about a father from Kenya whom he barely knew and about his young American mother who along with his father were college students in Hawaii.

By age 6 young Barack was already living in Jakarta with his mother and his Indonesian step father before abruptly moving back to Hawaii at age 10 to be raised by his maternal grandparents when his mother and her second husband divorced.

Over the years Barack Obama had bonding experiences with white and black relatives and with Asian family members amidst an understandable struggle to find his own identity. Through it all he developed a keen ability to understand and to resonate with people of various ethnic backgrounds.

Barack Obama worked his way through the racial complexities into which he was born to graduate Magna Cum Laude from Harvard Law School and become president of the Harvard Law Review. He served in the Illinois State Senate for 8 years and in 2004 won a 70 % landslide election to become a United States Senator.
Barack Obama has had 46 years of personal experience in understanding how perceptions of ethnicity and judgments about race can divide people and he is uniquely qualified to bring a sense of unity and common purpose to all Americans.

In 1963 (when Obama was just 2 years old) on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial in Washington D.C. Martin Luther King Jr. delivered his famous "I have a dream" speech that included the familiar phrase of "not being judged by the color of one's skin but by the content of one's character." That speech, of course, helped prompt passage of the 1964 US Civil rights Act and the next year, King was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize. If the people of America elect Barack Obama to be their 44th President in November of this year King's dream will have become much more than just a dream.

Should Barack Obama or Hillary Clinton Become the Democratic Party’s Nominee for President in 2008?

Which candidate is best able to inspire Americans with a new vision of a better America both domestically and in foreign affairs that will attract sufficient independent voters and disenchanted Republicans so that Democrats can win the general election in November?
Which candidate is least likely to cause a worsening division and polarization of voters and elected officials that maintains the partisan politics that currently paralyzes Washington?
Which candidate refuses campaign contributions from lobbyists and political action committees as a first step in seeking to change the money dominated special interest politics that currently rules Washington?
Which candidate has had the personal background and life experiences and possesses the vision and ability necessary to bring together Americans of all ethnic backgrounds be they white, Latino, Asian, African American, or Native American in a sense of common purpose, and also has the best chance of reintroducing America to the myriad of diverse countries around the world?
Which candidate do Americans most respect and admire given the facts of his or her personal family background, marriage relationship, intelligence and academic achievement, and the particular path by which he or she has become a candidate for president of the United States?
Which candidate does not have a spouse whose past political experience and personal behavior could prove to be a serious distraction that might needlessly complicate the office and duties of the President and potentially interfere with the normal functioning of cabinet officers?
Which candidate will the American people be able to trust when times are tough because he or she consistently values telling the truth, rather than choosing his or her words primarily with regard to the politics of the moment?
The inescapable answer is Barack Obama.

Robert Westafer, Long Beach, CA, USA

Obama's crying about Clinton attacking him?? How the hell is he going to fight the Republicans??

...And you can bet they won't be cosying up for a "truce" when the time comes.

nick, Wash. DC,

I think that the only presidential candidate who has right to talk about change is Barack Obama. America is a democratic country, and having in White House Bush dynasty for 12 years, and now (God forbid!) Clinton dynasty for another 4 or more years, will bring America to monarchy. I liked Bill Clinton as a president but the way he acts now to push his wife and himself back to White House discusts me. Clintons should stop using their power to distroy Mr. Obama.

Marina Dilakian, new york, ny

If Hillary Clinton's last name was Jones this would not even be a race between her an Mr. Obama. The fact that she is a woman and has the last name Clinton is why she is winning the race. It just shows that America isn't tired of the the Bush-Clinton legacy. I Suppose Jeb Bush or Chelsea will be running in 2012. GO OBAMA!!!!
