Katie's interview with senator Clinton was a joke, Right? Where were the issues and her stand on the isuues that Obama expanded on with 60 minutes on the first interview? Obama the neo senator with big plans and the senator with experience and all we here is one sided dreams of bringing change.Obama should come to my spanish speaking church because he sounds like my priest giving a sermon.CHANGE get real look what happened to Governor Spitzer in New York.Young people need to wake up and see that change only comes with experience and if Clinton is elected change is sure to happen because we have elected her under that condition.

Change is NOT ushered in only through the time-intensive vehicle of experience, but by the belief and commitment of those who have made a DECISION to change. It's as simple as that. Mediocrity has set into the collective conciousness of this great nation. Time to wake up from the stupor and expand our vision. The masses tend to complicate things way too much; consider how we, as a nation, always manage to continue doing the same thing (e.g., electing the wrong president) and expecting a different result! We are the ones we've been waiting for. We can DECIDE today, individually and collectively, and make the necessary changes we need for tomorrow. Yes, we can!

I am a native new yorker, a proffessional that averages a salary of at least $72,500.00 anually. I'm disgusted when i read comments from hispanics who follow the lead like lemmings behind the pied pipers from washington, question how much experience did google have over Ibm, and all those other well seasoned and well experienced companys, i bet if offered you all would love to have some shares in this company. Now i am a registered democrat, but if with the help of those idiots in the state of california and texas nominates clinton to represent the democratic party i will join the independents and moderate republicans to make sen mcain the next president and watch the republicans in the executive office for the next four years, and when they decide to build the next great wall of china and stick it to you all; check to see which way your beloved senator clinton votes. Hopefully by then you all will realize that you are not white anglosaxons and no matter what the lightness of your skin there are specific qualifications to be considered white and anglosaxon. I guess when anyone goes to church and hears a good sermon from their pastor or preist they never go home hoping that god will finally grant to us the will and the determination,hope and courage it takes to make a change to better our lives and the future of our children

Experience is secondary as far as I can see. The Bushes had experience and political savy, and look where it got us. The Bushes and the Clintons have dominated the White house for almost 20 years. Give the brotha a chance!!

I voted for Mr. Obama because I am tired of the Clintons and Bush families controlling this nation. If Mrs Clinton wins the nomination I will vote for John Mcain. I love this country and we need change for the sake of the great land. If Obama fails to win, I will make illigal immigration my number one issue this fall.

Paleeezzz, (bad spelling intended)...This is for ESUALBWANNA...If you are a proFFessional and average such a huge salary then why can't you spell professional correctly? ( i ) should be ( I )...Your whining is straight up rude... Putting down the voters in California and Texas, should they nominate Hillary Clinton, is wrong, which leads me to believe you are an Obama fan...That is all good, but why don't you just say so...Race, sex and age do not matter to me,my choice of candidate is Clinton who has the courage and experience to get in there and clean up the Universal Filthy Mess that the Republicans have shoved down our throats for much too long...

Its really amazing, the rate at which the hispanics support Clinton. The lady is not even ready to give you guys a driver's license; so what's your problem? I really think people need to see beyond her being President Bill's wife and vote for the right candidate. Because the Clinton's administration made a difference doesn't mean other people can't do better than the Clintons'. Another Clinton's administration will only make America go in circles, and that is not what change is about. That is not what going forward is about. That is not what making a difference is about. That is not what having a new chapter is about; and right now, all America needs is a NEW CHAPTER. God Bless America and you all.

Apparently, Barack is unaware of the many democrats who are commenting that they will not vote for him because of his glitz- filled, unsubstanative campaign, and his cocky, dismissive attitude toward Hillary. So please, stop saying you'll get all her supporters cuz you won't.

I am an American living abroad. I am very distressed at the lack of information the Americans possess on world issues and their devotion to opinion without knowledge. It also distresses me how many Americans develope their opinions according to popular opinion. I have always believed my fellow countrymen/women are truely eager to be honest people down to the core, but just how honest can you be if you don't search for true answers to real questions? Maybe many Americans just don’t know what the real questions are and have to be informed. Some Americans just dream up their own opinion based on sensationalism and bad journalism, having no idea how to read or hear something with a sense of analysis and common sense. For example, the last entry posted be Samnsuesie. If an uninformed American reads that entry, he/she would ask him/herself if that is really true... they probably wouldn’t understand what “dismissive” means. As far as I know...Sen. Obama refuses to say anything about his competitor in any disrespectful manner because it is simply not needed for a good campaign based on knowledge and information, what the American people so desperately need. It would be best for the Americans to check out what the rest of the world is thinking, and what the rest of the world knows before they select their next President. Where I come from many are hoping for Obama to be the next President of the United States, with good reason.

I'M SO PATIONATE ABOUT THIS WHOLE ELECTION THING THAT I HAD TO GET INVOLVED AND MAKE MY VOICE HEARD FOR THE FIRST TIME IN MY LIFE AS I HAVE ONE SON OVER IN IRAQ AS I TYPE THIS RIGHT NOW...ANOTHER SON IN RESERVES......THERE IS SO MUCH MORE I COULD SAY........OBAMA ......HE IS THE ONE TO CHANGE THIS COUNTRY FOR THE BETTERMENT OF ALL MAN KIND......HE IS A "ONCE IN A LIFE TIME LEADER" ......AND JUST AS SO MANY DISILLUSIONED AMERICANS "CHOOSE NOT TO LOOK TO GOD" ....THESE SAME AMERICANS WANT TO CONTROL THE FUTURE......PATHETIC.........
