  1. Hillary at Culinary speech: “I have nothing against rich people… but what made America great is the middle class.”

    She got an $8 million advance for her book.

    Her husband has received $40 million for giving speeches in the last 6 years…

    SHE’S NOT MIDDLE CLASS. She’s a hypocrite who will raise taxes on the middle class.

  2. Obama and the rest of the Democrats are having so much fun bashing Bush about everything. Read my lips you fools, BUSH IS NOT RUNNING. BUSH CAN NOT RUN. YOU ARE NOT RUNNING AGAINST BUSH. Do any of these idiots have a vision!

  3. I think Barack’s positive fundraising ability demonstrates the changing attitude of America, and will usher in a new generation of politics. Is there anyone except the wealthy or large corporations that wants to stay the course of the last 10 years? Where the wealthy have become wealthier, and corporate profits have soared, while at the same time the minimum wage was allowed to stagnate, or where, since 911, much of the world is beginning to question the morality of America’s international politics. I think not.

  4. HILLARY & OBAMA. WHAT A FINE PAIR THEY MAKE. LIKE TWO PUPPIES CHASEING TAILS. NO CONCEPTION OF WHAT IS A STAKE. OUR COUNTRY HAS BEEN SAFE FOR SIX YEARS. WE HAVE STILL HAD TO PAY A HEAVY PRICE. OUR YOUNG SOLDIERS. THEY HAVE PAID THE PRICE FOR THEM TO COMPLAIN, DESENT & BASH THE PRESIDENT. THE THE ONE PERSON WHO WOULD SAVE US FROM ANOTHER 911 & AN EVEN GREATER ATTACK. RICH & PRIVILEGED PEOPLE THAT GOT WHERE THEY ARE BY HOOK OR BY CROOK. GOD HELP US IF THEY GET ANY FURTHER.

  5. Hillary has my support and my vote.

  6. Hillary has my vote, and I think she is our very best hope of getting this seemingly impossible mess our great country is in straightened out, if it CAN be straightened out at this point.

  7. Good old Hillary! Squashing the middile income who is the heart of America by backing the Union.

    Don’t these politicians and companies realize that supporting the unions they squeezing the non union employee. Union employees don’t pay for a monthly insurance premimum and automatic increases. The productivity doesn’t play a role in the increase.
    Insurance premimums for non union employees are over $50 a month for a sinlge, up and over $100 for families with less coverage.

    Doesn’t make sense to me.

    Hillary wake up and smell the coffee! You are bringing middle America down.

  8. To the fellow who said “Read my lips you fools”

    The last Republican who said “Read My Lips” was lying. Like father like son.

  9. Did we forget what the Clintons did for the American people. Let me tell you nothing. They have way too much backage, and they will bring that same stuff back to the White House and they will spend all their time fighting attorneys. Our country can not take that right now. Hillary need to step down and stop trying to bring Obama down with all that mess she starts to get Obama in conflict with her everybody can see what she is trying to do. I think the Democratic party will make another mistake as they alway do if she get the nomination because they are not ready for a Africian American to be president. Wake up Democratic party and let’s win this one. Obama has a much better chance than Hillary. No one is going to put another Clinton in the White House.

  10. I posted a comment any you titled it a Obama fan, which is true but you can use my name.

  11. Mr. parker you need to take the blinder off, and take a look at Hillary looking just like a hollwood actor in act I talking out of both sides of her mouth.

  12. Fox News owner Rupert Murdoch is sponsoring fundraisers for Hillary and funding her campaign.

    And Murdoch did the same with Tony Blair - buying him in 1997.

  13. The corporate media is promoting Hillary 24/7 and have created rockstar Obama to provide the illusion of a competitive race. (she can’t run alone at the top)
    And the corporate media promotes candidates who will promote corporate interests - not the interests of most Americans.

    You can allow the corporate media to shape your opinions of the candidates or become more informed.
    John Edwards has the best plans and solutions for America! Our entire family is voting for him.

  14. I would love to see Barack and
    John as Pres. and Vice.
    Hillary is too hard and cold to
    be a champion for the people.

    And I wouldn’t vote for a
    republican, because they think
    they are above the law.

  15. Let’s focus on the other candidates like Mr. Guliani. He seems like a resonable candidate for President. My eight year old son asked me last week if there has ever been a woman president. I tried to hold in all the laughter. Seriously Hillary or Osama - chah! how about NOT! There are other candidtates don’t let the smear machine pull you into thinking it’s just these two morons!

    WILLIAM J CLINTON - FOR PRESIDENT 2008. :)

  17. Did I miss something? On one of the news programs I saw candidates pledging allegiance to our flag except Barack Obama and it didn’t look like he was speaking the words. Does he have a problem with an allegiance to our country or was he just distracted?
