Comments on: Clinton and Obama nearly collide at Bush speech http://blogs.reuters.com/trail08/2008/01/28/clinton-and-obama-nearly-collide-at-bush-speech/ Tracking the 2008 U.S. campaign Sat, 11 Oct 2008 22:29:44 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.3.3 By: Jules http://blogs.reuters.com/trail08/2008/01/28/clinton-and-obama-nearly-collide-at-bush-speech/#comment-336923 Jules Thu, 31 Jan 2008 04:19:11 +0000 http://blogs.reuters.com/trail08/2008/01/28/clinton-and-obama-nearly-collide-at-bush-speech/#comment-336923 I'm starting to get a feeling the media is not fond of strong women and this is making suspitious. I happen to admire a woman who is tough, intelligent, and is not afraid to be a leader in a man's world. This herd mentality called obamania is so juvenile and shallow. The guy does not have what it takes to be the president of the US. He need to wait a few more years, beef up his curriculum vitae. I fear that if we elect Obama we will fall into the hands of the republicans who are salivating the thought of having an inexperience appretice with a huge imagination and little substance. I will elect the most capable person to run this nation and will not cast my vote based on "charisma" --a term a lot of people associate with Bush. Hillary is fitted to run the country from day 1.

Obama continues to cry and whine and loose ALL non-black voters in record numbers! Each primary his non-black support is dwindling. And of course his black support is rising, but that what we expected with Michelle obama stumping with her continued racial comments and attacks on non-black voters, which the media isn’t telling. Obama has proven that he has divided the voters among race and now with OLD crazy man Ted hes theory of change doesnt appear to be true since he is running behind the old establishment (Ted Kennedy) like a butler, before that Oprah lead him by the nose, He is just a political BOBBLE HEAD and should be ignored… ITS FUNNY TO SEE HOW IMMATURE OBAMA IS AND ACTING LIKE TO SCHOOL GIRL…following Teddy around like hired help.Kennedys are used to servants

I'm sure people will continue to point to Obama's "vision" and promises, because we are still talking about words over actions. The short time he has been in office, he has a voting record that is either out in left field or neutral--not very impressive at all when it comes to what is important to me. When it comes to the leader of our country, I could care less about who celebrities support, and talk is cheap when you don't have a record to back up your claims. It's nice that people have a dream for a better future, but in the hands of liberals that will be a future that lacks family values; morality; and will consist of an oversized government that teaches people to hold out their hands instead of how to earn their own way.

The gullible people who are buying into his slick eloquence are so easily swayed that they probably can't stand up for their own convictions. Change doesn't mean putting a person that we hardly know anything about into office. At this rate, a person with unscrupulous ulterior motives can be placed into office as long as they are articulate and obtain celebrity support. Wake up people--you should be looking at what a person has accomplished or what experience they have to truly make an educated decision. Otherwise you are basing your decision on sheer histrionics--who can be the most convincing actor or actress? The fact that Obama has not voted on many issues and is listed as merely "present" is scary enough. What bases are you using for your support other than believing all the hype? Thankfully there are a lot of critical thinkers out there who aren't as easily swayed. Obama does not deserve to be President based on his lack of experience.

If that were true, the women of this country would be in sorry shape indeed. I don't believe they are, and I believe that there are vast numbers of women far better equipped than Hillary Clinton to lead this country. Don't just take the first one that comes along. Make sure she's the RIGHT one. If Hillary Clinton is nominated, she'll guarantee that no woman ascends to the presidency until all the baby boomers have shuffled off this mortal coil.

Kennedy, It was the first time voted and I felt so proud. That is why I am sending this comment concerning the Kennedy support of Barrack Obama. I honestly think that if John F. & Jackie were alive today they would support Hillary as would John jr., Robert, and the patriark of the family Joseph Kennedy . I don't understand the people living in our wonderful country, not only was George W. Bush elected as prsident the first 4 years. He was reelected to another 4 years. I think this country needs someone who has experience, political savvy, professionalism, and most of all intelligence. I would like to know what changes B. Obama is refering to. He has yet to clarify his statements. All he says its time for a change. I would also like to know why B.Obama can make suggestive racial comments & no one says a thing but when one of the Clintons responds to those comments they are dirty politics. Please everyone look at the history behind the candidates and vote for experience, and that is Hillary. LScorpio44@MSN.com I voted for John F.
