Hillary Clinton at Barack Obama's Convention

Reader Comments
Back to blog

Obama was packaged like a Saturday morning toy commercial. Young, black, big smile, great speech. He looked perfect and everybody had to have him. Except the toys in the commercials never work as shown. And Obama isn't at all what he appeared to be. That is why so many democrats can't support him. You don't unify behind a person leading you off a cliff. McCain support is growing not because McCain is strong, but because Obama is so weak. McCain is another Bob Dole. Clinton could blow him away. You had the perfect choice, but you had to be lured away by that shiny toy.

I prefer to branch away from the pack on the Hillary issue and focus on the reasons she is not the nominee rather than her bluster and her supporters. Her supporters focus upon her gender while the nation sees her as a divisive egotist who regurgitated her failed health care plan, whiney economic policies, failure to fulfill her responsibilities before voting for war, etc... In short, the Hillary camp are a democrat clone of the hard-core Bush supporters, support your candidate till you drop regardless of the facts. Just as the President has support from those who continue to profit from his policies, Hillary will continue to have supporters who will follow to the end for any gains she can provide. The polls are split not because of differences in issues but differences in the direction of profits. Patriotism and America be damned, Hillary will have her way!!!

i am a staunch democrat and proud of it but i think that america has been ripped off by barac obama and we do deserve to hear from hillary to know how to regroup for her upcoming victory. i will not be voting for obama and i am proud of it. his big smile and silver tongue dont empress me in the least, and iwould rather listen to hillary at the convention than him.

Hillary Rodham Clinton is the right president for America.
Barack Hussein Obama is NOT presidential material.
John McCain mopped Barack Hussein Obama at the last debate.
Obama can't even talk with writing a speech.
Obama has NO experience.
Obama's VP did NOT help him any.
Wonder why Obama did not have Hillary Rodham Clinton as his VP.
Wonder why?
ENOUGH OF BARACK HUSSEIN OBAMA.
ENOUGH OF MICHELLE OBAMA.
ENOUGH OF REV. WRIGHT.
ENOUGH OF TONY REZKO.
ENOUGH IS ENOUGH.
The Democratic National Committee is out of touch.
The committee should do the right thing and nominate Hillary Rodham Clinton as the Presidential Candidate.
Hillary Rodham Clinton is the candidate that can turn America around.
I am a diehard Hillary Rodham Clinton supporter.
However, I will be voting for JOHN MCCAIN in November.
GO--JOHN MCCAIN!!
GO--JOHN MCCAIN!!
GO--JOHN MCCAIN!!

It seems as though the current interest in Sen. Clinton speaking at the DNC highlights a certain segment of the party that truly do not feel comfortable with Sen. Obama as the nominee. I wonder how Sen. Clinton could be accused of dividing the party when it is quite evident that the divide exists independently of her.
Politics today are part of a larger picture, one in which corporations actually run the world and governments look after the interests of their respective countries. You need look no further than the current administration as a blatant example of this ugly truth.
The Clinton's are a brand. We had 8 very fruitful years of the Clinton brand and that seems to get lost under all the rhetoric of "dirty politics" and the promise of change.
America is in a very delicate position both domestically and on the world stage. If America were a person on trial for their life whom would be a better lead defense? Sorry, but I for one, have no confidence in Sen. Obama to guide us out of this circumstance in a timely and financially beneficial way.
Was anyone else surprised when, after all the threats of a filibuster, Sen. Obama quietly reversed himself and allowed the illegal wire tapping issue go away? It seems that Sen. Obama is chanting "change" on the one hand and receiving a tutorial on how the world and politics really work on the other. Even his new running mate has said he is not ready for the position. I wonder if Sen. Obama had tapped Sen. Biden earlier in the campaign if he would have accepted the position.
Have we not already seen proof enough that the Presidency is no place to learn on the job? Let's not forget George W. Bush was elected on a wave of emotion not rational thought.
I will not vote for Sen. Obama for a few reasons but mostly one: politics is a tough and ugly business and I have no faith that he is the person to make the tough decisions that are needed for our country to prosper in the current world climate.

Better to vote the Democratic ticket except for President. Don't vote for McCain. Don't vote for President. Then since all of Obama's supporters said he doesn't need Hillary supporters to win ...let the chips fall where they may but don't vote for McCain. If the race is very close or Obama loses then it will be better next time for Democrats. If McCain wins at least a veto-proof Dem Congress can get something done. Bush's vetoes along with his cohorts stopped a lot and gave away too much.
I heard one of Clinton's supporters on TV today saying the reason she was not picked was because of the hate and viciousness of Obama's supporters..that Obama and Clinton were okay but his supporters sent that man lots of hate emails for supporting Clinton. If that's the kind of supporters Obama wants..let them elect him.
A long time ago, my husband said a woman would not be allowed to win..by the "good ole boys" and it looks like he was right. And Obama chosing a man keeps with that saying. The only question now is since the "good ole boys" always want a male "wasp" elected..Obama may find in the voting booth the answer to if the country is beyond rascism. I heard on TV years ago coming out of a voting booth, a voter told Jesse Jackson who was standing there...I'm sorry I just couldn't bring myself to pull that lever for you.
It will be interesting to see the results of the Presidental race ...without Hillary supporters...18 million votes should go to any other Democrats running for Congress but none for the President. Even the Obama supporters have threatened that if he does not win..they are sure it is Hillary's fault and if a Democrat runs in 2012.,they will make sure he/she loses. How's that for payback?
VOTE DEMOCRATIC but no vote for President!
