The continuation of the clinton campaigns smacks of delusion and selfishness

this is sad to see. I used to like the clintons.

Presidential election

Most comments I have read are not thought out very well. They reflect racism and either plain ignorance or just plain mule-headiness(?) Don't try to diss any one or try to change their perspective. Vote your on thoughts and let every one else vote theirs without any dis-respect to them. You want to express your opinion, fine, but don't try to force yo0ur ideas on me!!

RACISM IN AMERICA

I stumbled on this webpage and was amazed by the (racial)opinions held by some(not all) white people in this day America !

The racial comments by Clinton's supporters and she herself, is evident enough to prove that she is not going to be a good President if nominated by the Democrats. Americans should remember that, the land they call theirs, was originally the homeland of the depleted Indian population, forcefully moved to reservations by the white imperialists for their selfish gains and that, the white themselves are aliens to the land called America!

Everyone born in America should have the right to aspire to the Office of the President of that country,whether white, black,hispanic,native indian ,asian or otherwise. This hype about race should be down-played by the Clinton Supporters and the democrats should unite and form a formidable force against the republican nominee.

The Clintons had a wide support from African-Americans in their days, I think they should give same level of support to Obama when he is nominated as the flag-bearer for the democrats.

The world is watching !

Obama, Clinton, Bush, McCain

Why are some of you guy's angry, if all works out well, the guy will get one term and the deal is done, history is made and America can say that it is truly a free non-racist, fair society to all men.

How quickly we forget, how many said Ronald Reagen would make the worst President ever, just an old Hollywood actor, with nothing more to do, yet he became one of the greatest presidents of our time or don't you guys remember that part “oh I forgot, he was white”.

And what about Arnold, Californian's thought he would turn our girl-y men into gun slinging terminators, we now have millions in surplus “O p's again “He 's White”.

You get the point, let history take place, let an American dream be realized and sit back and enjoy the ride, we are American's and we will prevail, survive as we always have and will always be the greatest country in the world.

If your wrong, the U.S. will have plenty of money, no wars, housing market stable, low inflation and American's running back to the bank's to be ripped off with a smile.

And don't forget, there's the old backup clause in the constitution, we can always impeach the bum right or do you think he may “ax” that clause once in office.

Obama, Bush, Hillary and Americas' IQ

This is for all of the American voters, Black, White, Latin, Asian etc. It is a well known FACT that taken as a whole, the entire population of America, ON AVERAGE, reads, writes and comprehends at an EIGHTH GRADE LEVEL. In others words the truely intelligent people know that they are dealing with a bunch of 16 year olds and can manipulate them accordingly.

If you 16 year olds really want change, vote Obama. You' ve tried all of the rest. It can't possibly get any worse, and odds are it will get better. Also anyone who gets elected will have to raise taxes or the Chinese will own us forever.

Grow up haters!

It is unfortunate to see and read racism on these website. Since Blacks got the right to vote in this great country of ours, Blacks have always been voting for White Presidential candidates and it was not a wrong thing to do. For the first time in America history, here is an accepted Black Presidential candidate and the Blacks are voting for him and it is seen as wrong doing. Will Blacks always vote for White candidates only? Why are the Whites voting for Hillary or McCain? it is wrong for Whites to vote for White Candidates.

Notes

Therese, What experience does Hillary have? She was a president's WIFE!. She was not the president. She was not an activist. and guess what, right now, that's what we're looking for! Call me a racist if you please; but this fight is about activism v.s. the good old boys club: pure and simple. And ,t doesn't matter if the good-ole-boy is a girl... we're FED UP!

Mishabel, You're right! According to the Census Bureau: He's Black!

Alauda, You're also right!

The Southern Strategy of Hillary Clinton's failed in 2006 It has had no success since then. However ,we got some funny advertisement from it!

And Pat, You're right. That's why I hope she ain't Veep either. The last thing a "brutha" needs is to have to spend prescious time protecting a cheatin "Bubba" from his wife. when he should be handlin business( espicially if the business is saving the world...considering the last Bubba darn near likked it!)

election

I am so saddened by all the racist comments on this website. I can no longer continue to read them. I am an African American raising an Arican American family in these United States. In our family different people support all three Candidates. It is our American right to have a choice. If you choose your candidate stand up for them, support them. However, you don't have to tear down the other person in the process. It makes me sick to read all the racist statements.... Regardless of what you may think about African American people, we have helped build and make American what it is today too! afterall we are American. If you choose not to support Oboma, Clinton or McCain... that's o.k....but don't disrespect our entire race in the process. I don't know if there will ever be a day where we as Americans will all be equal....I fear for the lives of my young children in this year of 2008....because of people with views like many of you..You could be their teacher, coach, parents of a friend and they visit your home often or someone they admire and look up to....and that freightens me....Those comments are so un-American...May the creator of the human race..God himself have mercey on you.

Jessi Jackson for President

If I was to play the race card and I had a choice I would vote for Jessi Jackson for president before I would vote for Barack Obama. At least I know who and what Jackson stands for, at least I would know what to expect when he took office. At least Jackson has made a difference for the better in this world.

I cannot vote for Obama because BARACK OBAMA HAS NO EXPERIENCE!

He only has pretty words to say about change, what change is he talking about? Is it a better world? Peace and goodwill for all? I have listened to his speeches and they sound like the sermons I hear at church. His speeches leave me feeling all warm and fuzzy until I walk outside into the sunlight. I wish that he would have waiting a little bit and got more experience and made a difference in something, anything....... Even saving some puppies or supporting an ophange would have helped me vote for him. But he has nothing but empty words. So this Democrat will vote for Mc Cain, he has experience and knowledge to back him up.

How is black?

All those ignorant uneducated folks will always go hillary. This country needs to be more educated. We have China and Japan dominating the world economy. We need to compete. Mccain cannot deliver the kind of foreign policy we need. Hillary is a loser.

I thought Iowa was over 90% caucasian, so what the hell is the media talking about.
