[glenallanhelicoptaz]

edward was made a fool out i see why he just dropped out. hes trying to endorse barack and hillary instead of focusing on himself. barack does good in a debate. hillary is constantly getting shot down in this debate. wonder what would happen if she had a debate with mccain. she would get shot down just as she is getting shot down by obama. She can not stand her ground with these canidates. she is on defense. her words are timid but she carries a background on hard knock. obama the top choice

[gsingh5]

Edwards should get a high position in the administration. He is one of the few politicians that acutally cares about the poor. He's liberal and he rocks

[formulaone123]

i really cant stand that woman

[gocoogs07]

Does anyone else find it odd that this series of vids has 20,000 or LESS views each, meanwhile the "Chris Crocker Phenomena" has had millions of views for each of his(her?) vids?

Just something I thought I'd put out there.

[CheezInspector]

Cirventes123, but you see he can't prove it yet because he's not in office ... yet ;) 

Obama '08

[bigrodneyakatrey]

good point

hc...

the people who set up this scheme.

barack... payday loans predatory financial instituitions

barack.. changing our trade laws

hc... hes doing the bidding of insurance companys

barack... 30 percent was too high

crowd ... booo on hillary

[CheezInspector]

Why does she feel so inclined to instigate, instead of focusing mainly on what she allegedly brings to the table? It's childish and shows her deep fear of losing. When she complains about being "attacked" during her career, it's easy to imagine why LOL.

[AFatGirlsAttempt1]

I don't think Edwards is being Ignored really, but they feel they should let the candidates defend themselves when charged, but i do agree i think it went out of hand. But to be serious, when the questions are answered, I feel Edwards never clearly answers anything. And i really hate his smug smile.

[MercedesSantiaga]

hilary and obama talked for about 7 minutes out of an 8 and a half minute video between each other without edwards being allowed to say a word. in fac,t he wasn't even in the SHOT. CNN is blantantly ignoring Edwards. It's not right at all.

[ukposter]

It's discouraging to witness the exclusion Blitzer practices. JFK couldn't get elected with this scandalous lack of attention.

[MercedesSantiaga]

i agree. edwards is being blantantly ignored. he allows hilary and obama to speak firs.t the media is sensationalising the fact that we have a black man and a woman running for president. i am ab lack woman and i am voting for neither. i am voting for edwards.

[dmacsdg]

most women will vote for hillary,most will never watch a debate.most blacks will vote for obama and never watch a debate!i will vote for the lesser of 2 evils!

[CheezInspector]

Not true Dmacsdq. I'm a mulatto female and won't vote for Hilary. Nor will any of my female friends. I'll vote Obama because he seems to make the most sense.

[dmacsdg]

nice to see youre voting for the lesser of 2 evils!

[CheezInspector]

That's a matter of opinion - and ours don't match. Anyway, you're also wrong about your assumption that people of color and woman don't watch the debates. Where have you been all these years? LOL.

[dmacsdg]

all over the world cheeze.population control!

[CheezInspector]

Here's something else to ponder: For the last couple of hundred years, Whites have voted for Whites 100% of the time LOL ... many of them never watched debates. Makes me wonder what your point is ;)

[bigteddybear02]

thats exactly my point cheezy!think about it

[CheezInspector]

Great, glad we're saying the same thing. Glad you're admitting that Whites have lost complaining rights as far as Black people voting for Black people :)

[Db8it]

You will notice that Obama attempts to stay very clear on specifics, while Hillary throws around deliberately twisted accusations. Yes, they are both critical of one another. However, she is pure politics, while he is attempting to clarify his record and make legitimate distinctions between them. I don't think Edwards smells like a rose, either. He is chuckling at his lack of time in the cross-hairs.

[poerice]

This is in response to Db8it comment about how Obama attempts to stay "very clear on specifics" and how Hillary throws around accusations. Db8it - go back to Part 4 of the debate about 3 minutes into it. IT IS HERE THAT OBAMA MALIGNS HILLARY ABOUT THE BANKRUPTCY BILL. It is from this point, all the way into 5 minutes of Part 5 even (more than 10 minutes of "bickering"), that the real shouting match between the candidates starts.

[poerice]

(Continued) True, for much of the time in this segment Obama is defending himself against attacks from Hillary and Edwards even, BUT keep in mind that it is Obama that started this with his accusation of Hillary. If Obama had stuck to the question and followed through with his "specific" plans instead of diverging to tell us about Hillary's decision, then this whole mess wouldn't have started.

[Db8it]

Hi Poerice,

I hear ya. I'm glad to see someone responding who is measured and reasonable, at least. I really think, though, that when Obama first criticized Hill -- the moment you mention -- it was because he was trying to take his first chance to rebut the inaccurate smears that had been flying his way for a week-and-a-half prior.

[Db8it]

(Continued) I still believe that SHE is the dirty player, first & foremost, and that he is forced to either ignore her charges or fight back. No, he isn't a saint -- no one is -- but I see this tilted negatively to her side for sure.

[miklosh3]

the only person who benefitted from this debate and Obamas and Clintons bickering is John Edwards

[flyshane]

uh uh uh spit it out obama

[oldpervyhermit]

the reason Reagon is praised so much is because he was a good pres..Republicans and Democrats could say that

But Clinton, sure ill give his props..but hes such a baby and a liar

[javy987]

hillary will have a strong vote from the latinos

[jayzbond007]

Someone throw some dick in her mouth....

[franksj66]

jeesh, a mudfest

[VinnythePopulist]

RON PAUL is the only candidate that has a perfect voting record!!! He only for if it matches the Constitution! RON PAUL

[fridai1979]

Sounds to me like Edwards and Ron Paul are the only ones telling the truth and have a record supporting what they speak!

[StopGeneralizing2day]

Obama clearly showed that he has Presidential fortitude and power.

I am greatly troubled by the mudslinging of HGillary Clinton with the horrible criminal past she has. For those who dont know what nearly all Youtubers know...

Bill & Hillary Clinton: Their Secret Life - #12 of 12

[gandgbell]

I think Hillary is doing a very good job of exposing Barrack Obama for who he really is without taking any personal responsibility for who she really is. Hillary, you can't vote for something and then say "oh geez, I'm really sorry I voted for that.. oh well"

[youfave]

05:08 I wonder what went threw his mind, it could be: wow I am on tv, or was he checking out madam president´behind

[BrianElstad]

Obama served hillary on the credit card issue

[kevinpaulharper]

Hillary always says something good, but she never says how thats going to happen. Everyone can say this and that is bad, but what are you going to do about it.

[kendreid]

urban housing projects have a 3 times higher incidents of unsafe and hazardous injury due to lack of maintenance and violations of building codes.

How can anyone support organizations / individuals who profit off of the misfortunes of the poor and needy American?

[kendreid]

He represented a church group which is in partnership with this slumlord, i.e. supported this slumlord's / church's project.

What does he mean by "project"? There are different definitions of "project", one definition per Merriam-Webster "a usually public housing development consisting of houses or apartments built and arranged according to a single plan "According to governmental statistics,

[kendreid]

Obama said, and I quote, "I was an associate at a law firm, that represented a church group that had partnered with this individual [the slumlord]to do a project. And I did about 5 hours of work on this joint project. And this is what she was referring to"

[xblulava81x]

Want a real change that will benefit real people? Check out what Dennis Kucinich stands for and decide for yourselves...

[pkt171]

Kucinich is who Hillary would like to be were it not for the necessity of collecting campaign dollars from fatcat contributors.  Kucinich talks my language and if the vast majority of working americans pulled their heads out of their asses they would vote for him.

[arja12345]

obama 2008 you are the master hillary you are the bitch

[ekm9955]

Why should we spend all this time helping people that can't seem to understand how homebuying works. Didn't anyone think to ask "what happens after my five years of interest only payments?". If they can't handle thier own business and ask questions I don't think that we should have to bail them out!

[Texasbuay]

Edwards should win this time, so this two can get their heads straight and realize this is not about them.

[Texasbuay]

it is sad,that this two r cought into this personal crap. We need some one that don't loose his head and take things personal. This country needs a president that really wants to make a difference and don't make stupid decitions. We need some one that can keep his head cool so he can make good decitions.

[mrmafiosso]

Obama is doing nothing wrong here. He's ust setting the record straight , from all the bullshit lies Hillary and her husband constantly bring forward.

Obama 2 - Edwards 1 - Hillary 0

[kevinpaulharper]

well he did get cought voting on the interest limit.

[mjben0407]

I am canadian.. i would suggest Americans to vote for Edwards

[oroweat3000]

Too bad Gordie Howe's not running, eh?

[Angietony]

VOTE FOR EDWARDS!

[flabitacrabits]

I really like Hillary's views on things but i dont like how she keeps attacking obama. (she's being kind of a bitch, I think she could state her point of views in a more conservative way) I think though, that she will get things done while in office because she is so commited to her point of view.

[BrianElstad]

what are her views, from what I've heard she's only made empty promises for the "key issues" without any actual plan to back it. And that is called pandering.

[zbambam5]

Jesus I'm getting sick of hearing them argue about bull shit. So why couldn't Kucinich be in this again???????? Fuck i dont even want to watch the rest, Edwards already took this one.

[KNODISELF]

VOTE FOR EDWARDS.

[j0shuaD]

I think the best we can hope for is that he'll take a VP nomination. Obama and Clinton have just taken too much of the limelight, and I don't think many people could even tell you where Edwards stands. It's a shame because he is a truly promising candidate. Recall the Cheney/Edwards debates, if you will.

[mrmafiosso]

Obama for president, Edwards for vice-president.

[Cirvantes123]

Umm Edwards got his ass kicked in the Cheney/Edwards debates. It was pathetic to watch, and I was embarassed.

[mizzlehotch777]

get the fuck away from the economy. it's not that big a deal! JESUS! this stuff happens. you know why black people are more susceptable? because they let themselves be more susceptable! IT'S THEI OWN FAULT. THAT IS NOT A RACIST COMMENT, so back off if you even think it is. It's your own damn fault you fall for this shit, rgardless of race, color, income, demographic, etc.

[descentboy87]

vote for someone who has independecny, not obeyinf from her husband

[auckie]

Anyone but hillary in 08 !!!!!!

[Cirvantes123]

Thanks for posting, vote Hillary!

[schwirzl]

she voted for the biggest US disaster since Vietnam. She totally failed. She shouldn´t even run because of that.

[Cirvantes123]

And Obama voted to fund it 100% of the time, until he decided to run for president. What's your point?

[rahmat8303]

once we got ourselves in the mess, it was too late to back out. That's his point. It was hillary initial decision that got us where we are. Only more money to fund the war and help with reconstruction will benefit our country in the long run. It's not rocket science; Hillary is just deceiving.

[schwirzl]

exactly

[Cirvantes123]

"Only more money to fund the war and help with reconstruction will benefit our country in the long run" - That's very good logic! Then why has Obama stopped voting to fund the war? He no longer believes in what's best for the country in the long run?

[rahmat8303]

bwhaha! Good point, good point :)

For votes? then he'll fund the war when he gets in office, just like every other candidate would do regardless of what they say or are doing now.

As Democrats, "If we keep on getting steamrolled, we are not going to stand a chance." - Obama, in response to funding the war

[Cirvantes123]

But you've just proved the point of the Hillary campaign- Obama will say one thing, and do another. Obama is excellent at giving hopeful, inspiring speeches, but he's not good at following up on those speeches with action.

[Cirvantes123]

In 2004, Obama promised to vote against funding the war. When he came to the senate, he voted for it. It took Obama 18 months to go to the floor of the senate and speak about the Iraq war, where he spoke out AGAINST a timetable for withdrawl. Hillary and Obama have identical Iraq war senate voting records, with one single exception- Obama voted FOR Bush appointee George W. Casey, Clinton voted against him. Words do not equal action.

[schwirzl]

he stopped voting to fund the war because bush rejected to present a timetable for withdrawal. Sounds all logic to me.

[Cirvantes123]

It took Obama 18 weeks to go to the floor of the senate and speak about Iraq. He used that oppertunity to speak out AGAINST a timetable for withdrawal.

[schwirzl]

He is not responsible for the war, but Hillary, the senate and Bush are responsible. Without these guys there wouldn´t be a war at all. After the invasion nobody knew how to handle this mess. You didn´t know it, I didn´t know not a single politician was right. After things got better obama voted FOR a timetable. Thats fact. I just read hillary s autobiographie. She talks all the time about about the vietnam disaster...

[MercedesSantiaga]

It is hilary's fault. I will not vote anybody from the "old guard" back into office. Hilary is a part of this current administration. With her experience she should have known better, she should have been brave enough to stand up to bush but she did nothing. The only thing she cared about was her image.

[pl6teen]

i love edwards' off-screen comment at the end saying "you don't feel that bad". comedy!
