I am embarassed for Hillary Clinton. She has morphed into a republican fearmonger. Dont you realize, Hil, that it was this same inability to separate fear from courage that led you to vote FOR the Iraq war? Never thought I'd say this but she really would do anything to get elected, and a person like that should not be in the White House.

Think the Senator from New York remembers what time the first plane hit the World Trade Center or knows when the first wave of planes hit Pearl Harbor? Does she think that Texans don't? It was 3am where?

Might she if elected be setting up a call center business against early morning intruders in private homes. Is that a good use of the White House?

America isn't ready for a BLACK president?? What does that mean? America is always ready for a good man. This will be be a great test for America. It will test if they have grown as a society. Have we gotten nearer the dream of judging a man by his character and not anything else. Living here I can tell you we need a change in leadership and leadership style. I have almost always vote republican and will be voting Democrat this time and hopefully for Mr. Obama. I don't care about track records or experience. Mr. Lincoln, Mr. Truman, and both Kennedys did well without experience. Also not much is going to change unless Congress changes and starts looking out for the interest of the American people instead of themselves.

HIllary 08!! Check out Jack's NEW "Jack and Hill" video! Jack Nicholson's people just put this on youtube! It's already on "Hillary speaks for ME." Is he going to air this on TV? That would be AWESOME!


Don't worry, it's not scary.

Do people REALLY think that there will not be a crisis in the world during the next Presidential term??

I think that is very naive, maybe all this dreamy hope talk has made people delusional. There will not be instantaneous world peace, people. We cannot have a naive idealistic President who is selling false hope to people.

Also, are people REALLY as scared about this ad as Obama is? Obama, you need to try to be BRAVE, ok? It's just a realistic ad concentrating on Hillary's experience.

If Obama gets scared from a 30 second TV ad, how the HECK can he be President?

Hillary 08!

Americans must come to understand, that one cannot make a credible judgement with two dimensional thinking, in a poly-dimensional universe. Because we seem to be trapped in adversarial politics, in an adversarial economic system, we tend to come to conclusions about people and events based on predispositions, rather than a neutral point of reference. As Howard Zinn recently stated that (para) "If we, the body politic, were really being responsible citizens, it wouldn't matter who was president!" But for now, we go from one election cycle to another, looking for a saviour of one sort or another.

Patrick, it's unfortunate that you think that. You clearly must be separated by a vast amount of ocean, as if isolated on an island....Because if you're in America, you feel the excitement for Obama, his credentials, and what he offers.

I am still wondering what the Clintons forgot in the white house, having ruled this great Nation for 8yrs.
Lately, the series of attacks on Obama, the 'David of our time' is quite unfortunate. This has raised big question on the Clintons Ethics and Morality. American's all over seem to be asking one pertinent question: "Is the white house ready for a woman President?" Good judgement is the key to good leadership. It is the 'main course' :Age and experience are only 'side orders'. Afterall " The age of Methusellah has nothing to do with the wisdom of Solomon".

America has alway been ready for a strong leader with conviction. Only a few holdouts like yourself fear to believe that all things are possible. It is not the color of the man or woman but thier character that will determine who will be America's next President. Everyone who is behind Obama believes, so what is your problem besides not being an american.

Obviously you have not been paying much attention to the greatness of this country. America with all of her problems is still the best place to express one's beliefs and we have come a long way. Make no mistake Obama will be the next President of the United State not for what he looks like but because he is qualified. And you can take that to the bank.

Hi Patrick ,
Please most people voting for Obama are not republicans as you think, they are indipendents and democrats party members. I wish you can come to the USA and see the movement. Sen. Obama is loved by all and has the chance to be the next president, you better believe it.

That is the most pathetic argument I've ever heard, Patrick. Obama should step down and clear the path for an unwanted, unpopular Clinton, simply because too many people are voting for him?

Jack, Yorkshire, UK,

Mrs Hillary Clinton will emerge as the nominee fof the Democratic Party when the chips are all down and will surely be the next President of America come February 2009. America is fed up with the Republican Party and will be willing to vote for a woman President but not a black President and not the calibre of Obama. In 2000 General Powell did not run for the Republican Party with all his qualifications and track records because he knows that America was not ready for a black President. Obama should stop being a spolier for the Democratic Party. This year is the best opportunity for the Democratic Party. The Republicans are masqurading as independents and voting in droves for Obama and the black people of America are falling for this cheap political chennanighan. As a back person my advice to Obama is stop being used by the Republican Party as Mr. Nader was used in 2000 to stop Al Gore. Obama should run as the running mate of Hillary Clinton. This is our best hope. Obama exit now!!!

Sounds like someone might be "whining" just a little bit.

GO HILLARY!!

How can HRC claim any foreign policy credentials? She enabled the war in Iraq, which has killed nearly 4,000 US soldiers and possibly up to a million people in Iraq. And she has never apologized to the American people, or to Iraqis for this horrendous mistake. Obama is right on this one: she failed miserably in her red phone moment.
