Carl Bernstein defends Barack Obama on CNN

[Yelena335]

Barak Obamas Health Care Proposal.... Can it improve America's citizenry. . . ? American view's are important! Check out my youtube channel and read how!

[vjd55]

These Hillary voters bashing CNN now just because their candidate lost are ridiculous... Talk about sour grapes. It's almost like the 'Pubs with their "liberal media" dogma...

[fkennedy100]

I'm so sick of CNN giving Obama a pass on everything he says and does. And as for Bernstein he writes books and makes money off of these politicians and then goes on CNN and tears them apart. That is the height of hypocrisy. If CNN keeps this up McCain will win for sure I will not vote for a man who sits in a church for 20 years and listens to hate. Obama says he didn't know, he says he didn't know about Tony Rezco's dealings. He doesn't know anything.

[Bardolph1978]

Idiot. CNN is not called the Clinton News Network for nothing. CNN tried to destroy Obama on behalf of the Clintons and America flipped them off.

[PatrioticEurope]

Obama ♥ the world.

The world ♥ Obama.

[Wizard364]

Look at these Jewish shepherds herding the flock of sheep off a fucking cliff. They want Obama to run against McCain and LOSE. The ENTIRE media is in on the Neocon agenda and is engineering a McCain victory. And no Obama doesn't have any hope of winning the general election even if they don't rig the damn voting machines.

[beenn15]

get a tuner card, they're cheap these days... cheaper than the camera you're using

[bestwayusa1]

Obama doesn't play fair? Wants a fixed race like Bush! Didn't vote for a revote in Michigan & Florida, Obama played hide and seek, what a joker! Call's whites typical. Obamas words. Just like OJ, saids one thing but realy does other things? Just like Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick, Obama doesn't tell the truth.

[scwbham]

thats a lie. you stupid

[Bobb9999]

Of famed Watergate investigative reporter twins, "Woodstein", Bernstein never sold out to anyone, unlike Woodward, who, despite writing and selling more books than his old partner, trashed his own integrity by becoming cheerleader/enabler of Bush for several years, seduced by White House access. Then he lied about his own involvement in the Scooter Libby/Valerie Plame affair, denying that he too had been a reporter who Plame's covert CIA status was outed to. Carl's the man, not Woodward.

[bestwayusa1]

Obama's pastor racist Rev Jeremiah Wright. This man is one Of Obama's hero's mentors of over 20 years, where Obama brings his kids, shame on him. And shame on any American for supporting him. He's a fake, hypocrite, dont let the media or CNN fool you. They give Obama bias coverage because they feel sorry for him. And they're spellbound!!!

[luvnhugs]

Sinking ship will be revealed in Pennsylvania primary. News is surfacing concerning Obamas political Illinois mentor- Emil Jones. Jones has used his position as leader of the state senate to block anticorruption legislation passed unanimously by the state's lower house. He gave all the legislation that Obama brags about-letting him take the credit for other senators work - as a setup to make Obama look good...He's Obamas King-maker. Obama gave him Millions in earmark as payment. It's coming...

[ikedirty318]

Have your ever seen Hillary Clinton's earmark amount??? He gave millions she gave more millions.

[HeathenRage]

Good on you Carl!

[olof790217]

Wich in this case I think is more positive but also gives her less space to move around and compromise, compromises that from my point of view, wouldn´t be good for USA.

[olof790217]

We all know that bernstein is anti-hillary and andersson is pro obama, we have all witnessed it regurarly on 360+CNN.

I am neutral, i think obama would win the election but hillary would probably be a better president, she will be much less likely to not compromise with her principles that I think a younger less life experienced, politically would do.

[medaa25]

What are you talking about? Hillary has sold her principles to lobbyist. Obama hasn't! And you are talking about her sticking to her principles, maybe, until the highest bidder comes along!

[olof790217]

If she goes back on her promises she will be absolutely slaughtered but he will probably do better both from they´re own point of view and the surrounding society, media etc. He will have more leveridge?. To both, regarding to his own beleifs and his public persona. She will be have very little space to manover with regards to her husbands previous presidential period and they´re failings and her firm proposals in so many of the issues.

[olof790217]

Like the health care question, if you don´t understand that there is are less fortunate among people us that will not do what is best for them then you will have cut out the weakest, most vulnerable 20% from the health care system, the group that probably has the most need for the reform. But she won´t win a general election, so I´m probably for Obama.

(I´m swede so who the fuck gives a damn.)

[Aiursrage2k]

Of course the progressives are going to embrace this message with open arms

[wntoply6]

excuse me aiusrage2k, everyone should embrace this message with open arms even backward bigoted so called southern "christians". are you one of them? probably so with your ignorant remark. what's the matter with you, do you like a divided country? if so tell us way idiot!

[4wehttam]

Yes CNN, be the first to have the COURAGE to do it. Stop overanalyzing shit and beating sound bites to death. If someone doesn't start the path to a healing nation, how can we possibly make the changes we desire for the good of ALL Americans. Please CNN, STEP UP TO THE PLATE.

[bxmask]

WOW...maybe the country can change. This is the kind of dialogue that needs to happen all over the country where pwoplw don't get defensive, they simply give honest responses. My hat's off the Gergen, Martin, and Bernstein for taking the high road and focusing on the issue.

[MeCuzImASpy]

fox news is meant to be real? O_o I thought it was a comedy program! fox 'wink' news 'wink' is more scripted than days of our lives if you want news chose CNN!

Obama '08!

[HillaryJumpsTheShark]

You rock, Carl!

[HillaryJumpsTheShark]

The answer: No! Anderson Cooper does not have the courage.

And it is very unfortunate.

[mrpecoke]

Well done Carl Bernstein! Yet another person who has nullified the misguided rubbish that Fox news and other new agencies of a similar ilk continue to spew, in order to tarnish a black man's reputation. With the likes of Bernstein, McCaine and Huckabee coming out in defence of Barack over the last two weeks, I bet they (FOX) must feel very stupid at the moment.

[ninigreen7]

I do like that at least intelligent,open minded people are coming to defend Mr.Obama's powerful,inspiring,historic and above all honest speech-like the previous comment about the fable-summarizing open minded,intelligent people cannot be easily brain washed-well done!!

[nixthetiger]

"...in the context of their lives..." That would be nice.

An old fable tells how three blind men who had never heard of an elephant, were introduced to one. One man was at the front, one at the rear, one at the elephant's side. The man at the front said, "An elephant is like a snake" (trunk); the one at the rear said "He's like a rope" (tail); the side man said, "No, he's like massive trees" (legs).

Putting things in context is akin to reasoned and reasonable thought.

[goodsnservices]

Bravo. But put the blame where it belongs: with a news media driven to keep the controversy alive to maximize their ratings and profits.
