Obama responds to Clinton comments

[gsd2noon]

Anyone who blames Clinton for this prolonged primary race, need only listen to this, and then the primary results after this. It dessecrated the Black American support she had. That is why, Obama is still in this race. And, I don't feel he can win. Not because of color, but because he has not been fully vetted. And unfortunately, jabs in this primary are nothing compared to what the Republicans will assault him with.

[cqsr63]

take the time to go to Mr. Obama's site and read. He addresses each and every issue of the day on his site. It is very well organized and easy to read. PLEASE take the time to read for yourself America....

God Bless you all

Thanks for reading

I dont believe that Hillary was diminishing MLK's work..I more so think that she was trying NOT to agree that messages of hopes and dreams move the masses (which of course is Obama's campaign basis). So instead she focused on the idea that a dream is she just a dream until someone takes action and thats where people think she didnt give credit to MLK. I say, great CYA action! Always cover your ass first at any expense. HELLory for 08!

[darbyholdenfarrier]

Obama, What a fine magician you are, you can Wooo the masses with your second hand speeches and other cheap parlor ticks. His whole campaign is an illusion... a facade. What are your policies Obama? Are they your own? No! "I must agree with Clinton" over and over again and his best policies are only a diluted old version of Clinton's. Let me take away the smoke and mirrors - the Hype, and what do you have...Nothing but a house of cards. A Glorified Preacher and nothing more.

Clinton 2008

[ReleaseTheStarsplz]

clinton is a sneaky liar and will do whatever she can to make others look bad, including falsy accusing them, she would kill America in less than a month if elected.

she's such a sleez! I'd rather have a republican win! ( and that's saying something )

[marilynj7]

Allow the media to discover something, than say it is from your opponent. Irrelevant conclusion; a conclusion based upon the attitude--the strength of the argument is in the emotion; = an argument is presented that supports a position that is different from the conclusion that is stated.

[jerryERRN]

I said long ago that the Clinton group and Hillary hated Obama. She will do what ever she can to win see my video Clinton hates Obama. I made this months ago and said she would turn out this way

[went1006]

Obama only spoke about Latinos after he lost Nevada. He is constantly copying Hillary in all that she does and tweaking it. The most hilarious thing is that Obama supporters believe he 'listens' to them. It will be hilarious when people actually see him for who he is. He is more political and bureaucratic than any of the other candidates right now.

[dedamol]

So why did Obama work in the streets among the poor and disenfranchised (of all ethnicities by the way) instead of Wall Street with his Harvard law degree? Hillary, on the other hand headed for a top, politically connected law firm in Arkansas, and sat on the board of Wal-Mart!!!

[cqsr63]

I disagree with you......

[gsd2noon]

dedamol, Hillary went to work for the Rose law firm to help support their family while her husband was on a meager salary as governor of Arkansas. Prior to this, she spent all her time helping those less fortunate, of all races.

[SasukesJutsu]

HE WANTS TO CLOSE DOWN YOUTUBE WE WILL NOT STAND FOR THIS... THIS IS MADNESS....madness

[marilynj7]

behind the 'Mask' that he wears; And now comes Shelby Steele, the Hoover Institution scholar, with an essay arguing that Obama's public stance is essentially synthetic. In 'A Bound Man,' Steele makes the case that Obama has adopted a mask familiar to many other African-Americans, designed to appease white America's fear of being thought racist by offering them the opportunity to embrace a nonthreatening Black.( David Brooder, 11/26/07 Washngton Post)

B.H.Obama uses and misrepresents

[dedamol]

So what does Steele expect of OBAMA, a "mask" that threatens white america? Obama is aspiring to lead the ENTIRE nation, and that includes ALL ethnicities. You would think Shelby would celebrate Obama as one who embodies his so called "culture of excellence and achievement" among blacks. Even if you disagree with his politics, these derogatory comments are uncalled for, and expose him for the partisan fraud he is.

[jim6700]

yeah Obama please become vice president your our only hope you can become better then Cheney

[popstom]

His church has given an empowerment to Louis Farrakhan whose daddy mohamad Ilijah Who are muslim oh by the way they murdered Malcom X you can look that too now I would say he has tie's to the muslim

[cookimonstizzle]

the real shame is we only have two anti-war candidates out there at the moment.

Ralph Nader and Ron Paul.

[airfuzz4]

you're an idiot, and I support the democratic party, stop posting crap. You make us look bad, save it.

[ThadDaDon]

seek jesus

[dikdik1313]

What is wrong with you people? I do not see a downplay of MLK here. All she was trying to say is that it is a team effort. One inspired the people and one enacted the laws. We need both.

[jerryERRN]

Hillary will be the down fall of the DEM party. I was hoping that there would be some one from the DEM party that would come out above her but, the media will make sure their girl wins in the end.

[eplafan]

Those who have twisted and taken her comment out of comment are, no doubt, the lower end of the socioeconomic bracket and probably don't vote any how ... the ones who hail Al Sharpton as their hero. NOT I. There was absolutely nothing offensive by what Sen. Clinton said and if you took at as such, you're clearly in the above "clump" I mentioned. For the Obamas, AL Sharptons, etc., to say we should be offended is nothing less than insulting to me and my fellow African Americans.

[MsHazels]

I dont think she had negative intentions with what she said, its just how she said it. She diminished the role of Martin Luther King and it made her look bad... Her words werent twisted or misunderstood. She clearly downplayed King's role.

[eplafan]

MsHazels - apparently you didn't listen to what she said. Turn up your hearing aide and listen carefully, then maybe you'll revoke your ignorant statment about Sen. Clinton "diminishing" anything.

[MsHazels]

I listened to what she said and what she said is exactly why people were offended. She is a highly qualified candidate but just had a wrong choice of words.

[Crysmarie]

LOOK, what everyone has to understand is that THERE WAS NOTHING TO TWIST ABOUT HILLARY'S COMENTS ABOUT MLK. Some people were offended by it black and white PERIOD. Her actual quote is what got everyone upset, not someone twisting it, that is insane if anyone believes that garbage.

[falawewe]

And why do black people like the clintons again?

[eplafan]

You are clearly an idiot and really don't deserve the privilege of voting.

[ThadDaDon]

Why do blacks like the clinton's. To me they are bigots and that slip up wast evidence enough. She diminshed the role king played in the civil rights movement.

[g5pro]

Well I'm black from miami: Look i'm not

for hillary clinton nor did i ever like her

i like bill when bill went away from office

he left this country in good standing. I was going for hillary at first,intill she started filp floping on issues that she said.I think

hillary is just useing her husband good standing to get in the whitehouse! Obama 2008

[ThadDaDon]

Im from miami as well go obama

[clapolla]

Are you also a Muslim, ThadDaDon? Just don't understand why you would entrust our country to an inexperienced Muslim. Besides, Michelle Obama is Hardly First Lady Material.

[ThadDaDon]

why do I have to be a muslim to support obama. Alot of people who are christian support obama. Stop being another ignorant black person. yes i am black. To discriminate someone becuz of their alleged faith is a bigot. Me and u both know how that feel so keep it real.

[Bluemics]

Thaddadon: I'm with you all the way

what they are saying is false Obama is smart he knows this Lets watch who get in a catch22

here>Obama 2008

[jopaddy81]

And who even said he was a muslim. Jeez. And what if he was? Anyway he isn't. That is the bottom line. You people have been listening too much to Debbie Schlussel. She makes very bigotry remarks. She even tried to blame pakistanis for Virginia Tech Shooting.

[jopaddy81]

You cowards keep pushing this muslim angle. Clearly it's not working, so quit. Donald Rumsfeld and Dick Cheney had been in politics for so long yet their experience couldn't prevent 9/11. Give us a break with this experience card. And to Hillary, Being a first lady is not legislative experience. She is serving a second spell in the senate whiles Obama is in his first term. But Obama served in the state senate in Chicago for 8 yrs. So in terms of legislative experience,Obama is ahead of her.

[eplafan]

See if you still support this shady Obama. Search "Obama Limo Sex Drugs" and listen to this guy out this snake. Yeah, Oprah picked another winner just like she did with the book "A Million Tiny Pieces" and its author. Wake up you ignorant idiots OR we'll end up with another Repub. in the oval office and nobody wants that. President HILLARY CLINTON -- can you say that? Get used to it. IT'S COMING!

[bionicmisfit]

I wouldn't trust Hilarity-bitch Clinton or Obama any further than you could blow either of them down a two-inch fire hose...you will see the truth in what I'm saying soon enough: they will both sell this country out to Israel just like Bush did. It is because of Rummy's and Cheney's EXPERIENCE in politics (the art of lying)that we HAD a 9/11, where do you get this notion they had any intention of "preventing" it...jesus, how naive.

[g5pro]

Today is martin luther kings birthday To

say i wasn't offended by hillary clinton

statement i would be lieing! How dare she

throw mud on his name!As for my people

we need to wake up yo! The clintons when they

thats all we had! But do we wanna take a step

back in time?Our a step ahead! As for

the founder of Bet! #$%*%@ you !! How dare you!Uncle tom!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

OBAMA 2008!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[apballard]

What Hillary said was just lame. It wasn't racist. She stated Kennedy tried to get policy passed and LBJ voted on policy.

It was simply worthless breath as usual.

[imkingdad]

Obama's Record ( or lack there of ) is the issue. But It was only a matter of time before 1 side or the other Played the Race card(s).

It will only get uglier & nastier as these two wannabes square-off. demo eating demo the GOP will be loving it.

[escottwill]

it's true this could hurt both of them. but who does it help? not the reflubs. america's sick of them. it helps edwards. and i have no problem with that - he's cool, as are obama and hillary. i'd take any of those 3 over any repub i've seen in the last decade.

king dad = george hw?

[escottwill]

there's no twist to this. what she said reveals something. not that she's racist. she belittles the power of anyone who is not a president. she says only a president can get things done, which explains why she wants it so bad. you can look at every other candidate and think that if they lose the race, their lives will go on, but hillary wants it so bad she'll be destroyed if she doesn't get it. the question: why does she want this so badly? for america, or is it for hillary clinton?

[Basketball80]

The Clintons are the ones twisting words, the Obama camp didn't even make a comment about what she said.

Hillary in the White House will be the icing on the George W. Bush cake of lies and deception to the American people.

[eplafan]

Basketball80, clearly another idiot who does as Oprah says. Get minds of your own, people. If Al Sharpton is your hero, you're in big trouble.

[MsHazels]

No Basketball80 is right. When I first heard about this on the news and they were asking Obama to comment he declined. He wouldnt comment on it. And Oprah is a strong black woman so people appreciate what she has to say and her opinions....

[eplafan]

Yeah, Oprah's a REALLY good judge of character ... how quickly you forget the author of the book "A Tiny Million Pieces" (whatever it was) ... yep ... GREAT judge of character!

[MsHazels]

LOL...yea she did mess that up...but she still is a very influential black woman...whether people agree with her or not, her opinions are respected by alot of people.

[g5pro]

Your right man! I agree 100 percent

[ThadDaDon]

sounds like a racist to me

[Bluemics]

Can you look around in see you the only

donkey here G5pro and basketball80 is correct

she just wanna finish were uncle bush left

off! obama 2008!

[eplafan]

I am truly amazed at how ramped ignorance runs on these posting boards. Why in God's name would you want an inexperienced MUSLIM as our leader? Why not just put Osama Bin Laden's name on the ballot? Idiot!

[Bluemics]

BOY BOY ingnorance must run a rampage in

your family How do know he is a Muslium? lol

The Clinton campaign ordered a background check on mr obama when she found out that Obama was running and they have not confrimed

anything! he attends services at Trinity United Church of Christ in Chicago! if you know Musliums And i don't think you do!They will not step a single foot inside a Church!

[g5pro]

Well said my friend couldn't said it

better myself. The clintons are very deceptive

and only care about themsleves this

is going to backfire on them!

[eplafan]

g5pro ... you're representative of the overwhelming ignorant people who will vote this year, unfortunately.

[g5pro]

Then who are you voteing for!!!!!

[eplafan]

I'm voting for the ONLY qualified candidate - Sen. Hillary Clinton. We cannot afford to put anyone else in as our leader in such times as our country is facing. This is not a personality popularity contest - it's the leader of the free world, for God's sake. She IS the only qualified candidate.

[Bluemics]

And i'm another respresentative of change

uummm...ignorant as you would say! he was

just backing up (basketball80) statement he

made! which he is correct the clintons just

care about the clintons! we wanna take a step

foreword not a step backward

[g5pro]

Hey eplafan your getting attack on this message board. Nobody likes the clintons get it thru your head "People are wakeing up now"

Have you every heard the old saying "Out the

heart the mouth speaks" hillary is proveing

true to that statement. Your a representative

of takeing a step back! Go do some research

man! Obama 2008

[clapolla]

Newsflash, g5pro, if you'll read more than the first few posts on here, you will see many of us LOVE the Clintons. As an African American also from the south I can tell you, Obama's playing the race card has back fired on him. We will not vote for him for a number of reasons, the most important being that he lacks the experience and, as he's proving with each passing day, character. Look at the national polls and see who's ahead, moron.

[ThadDaDon]

how the hell is obama playing the race card. When hilary said those ill advised statments. Obama did respond. blacks and others who took offense responded. get ur facts right. Don't blame obama or me for what she said. Come be smart not dumb.

[Bluemics]

That so call love is changeing we will see

after the debate tonight Obama has experience

and is lot more smarter then hillary

hillary is playing the race card here! while

obama is taking the seat back!and nobody reads polls anymore they change like hillary

clinton statements! imbecil!

[rynox77]

No more drama, vote Obama!

[Zahif]

Hurray! Hillary couldn't have re written history ( or her record in the senate and in past speeches) if she had white out or a giant eraser.

South Carolina, Nevada etc will see her for what she is. People are not stupid. Read the memo. :)

[dextermikey2]

Obama sucks.

[escottwill]

so does george bush. senior almost as much as jr.

[jed989]

The Clintons will not succeed in rewriting history like Bush did. Obama and the people will prevail. Clinton and Bush cannot control this nation forever.
