1st!

Go Obamas!!
The debate was a damn shame…

Thats right Barack. Brush off the haters.

Obama is right. They’re trying to shift the focus instead of tackling the real issues of substance. Get off of it already. He misspoke. So what. At least he didn’t call poor people nappy headed hos!

It’s all a game though. I can’t call it but I just hope and pray McCain doesn’t win.

I love Michelle and Barack….. There is nothing like a man that is confident enough to let a woman BE her STRONG self. Most ‘males’ (not men) are intimidated by women that are strong… YaY for the Obamas.. the are SO REAL!

^they

Obama 08!!!!

I think it’s absolutely ridiculous amd outrageous the way the press is going after Obama. Especially in the slimy, unethical way, the used that debate forum, to do so.

I mean..yes all candidates have to undergo a great deal of scrutiny, and have to be
asked the ‘tough question’, but when you’re actively trying to tear him down, or

tarnish his image in front of the American public, it crosses the line, and I’m fed up with it!!!

.I’ts just so sad, even in this day and age, how much more a Black person his held
to a higher, almost unreachable standard, contrary to his White counter-part.
Blacks have to constantly prove themselves, and be that much ‘better’.

…But I have faith in Barack, in the man, and his ablilities; And I say do what you do Barack, and brush the haters off!!!

BTW

Obama is a tru brotha LoL… How you gone be doin’ a stump speech poppin ya colla and brushin ya shoulders off LoL

OOh, I caught the political swagger Michelle, and I LOVE IT! I feel the same way, Barack for 2012!

It was nothing wrong with that debate. I mean what is he hiding??? If he really wanted to come out strong he should have answered the questions in a way to throw it back in the moderates faces, but he wants to feel like he was picked on. Yet, on those MSNBC and CNN debates Hillary was drilled much worse, but finally when someone challenges him he whines. I tell you this, he can’t “brush” off them republicans if he gets the nod. If he really wanted to “brush” off Hillary he should have closed the deal with TX and OH. But I don’t expect no one on here to look at the big picture, but just look at the surface and not dig deep to find out who this man really is.

michelle is awesome. such a great match for barack.
love them both!!

OBAMA 08!!!!!

*****Falls the fuck out*** Did he really “knock the dirt off his shoulders”? I LOVEEEE IT! Barack and Michelle are the best black couple ever!

Michelle is my idol…i really like her confidence and I think thats the type of persona every female should strive to have
(lol she knows her boo is doing 2 terms…thats good)

I SAW THE DEBATE….and thats all I will say

Power and Potential=HATERS

BARACK THE VOTE

This site is a mess. Half of the time you cannot properly read the comments because they are cut off on the left, the site is pausing for like 2-3 minutes before you can scroll down and and this side-ticker tape-ish name display is unecessary. What is going on here??

Lol…@ Obama brushing his shoulder oFF… Love it!!!

@Natalie.. I think thats your computer.. I’m not having that problem.. Use FireFox.. not internet explorer

Barack and Michelle…. they are like the breath of fresh air that
Americans are too lazy or stubborn to go outside and exhale.
He has always been about the issues, only stopping a few times
during this whole campaign to address sideline messes that have
been distracting from his overall message. He has been saying
stick to our platforms, our plans and our agendas…not the politics
behind the politics….even when Hillary was under fire for petty stuff.
He didn’t stop to ATTACK her….he kept his campaign moving. The
debate really was a sham and a shame and ABC, the moderators and
Hillary should really feel dirty right now….they were mud “rassalin’ ” and
Barack wouldn’t be pulled in. Yes he was a little rattled, but as he
showed in that video, he will continue to shake ‘em off and keep doing
what he has to do….focus on what is important for our country. He
keeps telling the truth, about race, about Iraq (everyone is saying that his
foreign policy plans are brilliant and our best bet…even republicans),
about blue collar workers (guns and religion), about race, about the
economy. America wants the truth, well he’s given it to ya. Obvisously,
“YOU CAN’T HANDLE THE TRUTH” !

@#10
I disagree with your statement.IMO, the debate was obviously being used as a forum to “Obama Bash.” In ealier debates I don’t believe the media specifically went after Hills, rather they went after both of the candidates.I found it peculiar and very unprofessional the way Charles Gibson attacked Obama, cut him off several times mid-response and overall dismissed a good portion of Obama’s responses. I was disgusted to say the least at the brashness of those moderators. Barack stood there, the great man that we know him to be, and didn’t go tick for tack with Charles or Hillary. He simply stated the facts. And I have to agree with him, at this point in the race I done give a damn about the bashing and rhetoric! I just want the candidate with the best potential to run this country to win. Did anyone remember how they tried to question Obama’s ethics by linking him to a neighbor he had at the age of 8 years old that engaged in questionable acts. I thought that was ridiculous! How about the break right before the very end of the debate where they cut to commercial and came back on and brought some guy in that give a 30 second (literally)synopsis of the debate where he questioned Obama’s experience and ethics (mentioning nothing about the debate in general, but also mentioning nothing about Hills for that matter) then they cut right to another commercial before ending. What was that all about? That was not fair or objective!
To say the least that debate couldve and shouldve been moderated much better.
Obama wasn’t crying or whining about the fact that the debate centered on pessimism and negativity, he just stated the facts that people aren’t interested anymore in that.I remember watching a debate where Hillary outright told the moderators that they were favoring Obama.Anyway, I’m an Obama supporter, but a blind and deaf man could see the bad antics of that debate. Til November, I say, On with the race! Obama ‘08

Onemil02,
Please tell me you are joking. If any other the candidates has put their business out there its been Obama and trust at the end of the day he is still a black man to most Americans no matter how “biracial” his heritage. He is and always will be held to ridiuclously high standards by “them”. If he pees wrong he is attacked from all sides, with no mercy. The question is not what he is hiding , the question is why is Hillary continuing to lie, get caught and then pretend she misspoke, but no one else can. The woman is silly and wasting time on the campaign trail with her “Mad Margaret” routine. One thing I appreciate about this whole campaign is she and Bill have finally allowed African Americans that were their champions to see who they really were. I knew they were users/hustler/liars/closet racists all along and knew it was a matter of time that their true colors would come shining through( thanks Cyndi Lauper).

HRegarding the debate, even conservatives talked about how Hillary spent too much time on her attacks as opposed to talking about the real issues that everyone actually wanted to hear them debate. Obama tripped her up when he brought up all the negative press that was hurdled at her as first lady. She was shocked and could not even respond properly. Loved it.
She is negative and has nothing to say, but more negativity. She feeds into the stereotypes about women that we are emotional and love to attack others when challenged. She is an embarassment and is not fit to be a president of anything.

Clinton (what happened to that Rodham part BTW) is just more of the same old same old Washington, K St. Lobbiest BS…Obama represents integrity, change, and intelligence in the white house We need a prez. to fix the economy, fix the war, and fix the morale and image of our coutnry. I’m coming up there this weekend to campaign you guys in PA…Tuesday it’s on you!!!

Thanks Horse Head Nebula. I will try Firefox.

@ 14 im having some of the same problems!

Michelle Obama rocks!!! I dig her swagger so much. She is an educated woman but you can tell she is still down to earth. Love it!!!

The debate should have focused SOLEY on the issues concerning America. Not about controversial shit like comments Obama made about PA residents and/or Mr. Wright. Vice versa with Hillary as well. I mean damn…could they have come up with better questions?

Damn shame.

I saw a lady with a bumper stick yesterday (yes totally random) which stated “ANYBODY BUT HILLARY”. I wanted to smack the taste out of her mouth. If democrats continue to stay divided like this, we will have MCCAIN as our president. If Obama doesn’t make it as a nominee in November I will vote for HILLARY, and if Hillary doesn’t make it CLEARLY I will vote for Obama because that’s who I’m behind anyway. But if we as Democrats continue to act ignorant and cry and bitch if ourcandidate doesn’t make it, THEN WE WILL BE DOOMED. And then I don’t want to hear ANYONE complaining about SHIT when McCain fucks us over just like Bush has.

That is all.

Get that dirt of ya shoulder!! LOL The Obamas are that couple.

Sorry, but if Obama does not make it as the nominee, I am not voting at all come November. I hate the Clintons with an absolute passion. I know McCain is horrible, but I really think Hillary will be even worse and her personality throughout this campaign speaks volumes about how she will handle real issues with integrity, tenacity, respect and cooperation. ….She will not. She is nothing but part of 2 families that have ran this country for the past 20 years. Look where we are now. Its sure as hell time for real change.

I have to agree with the lady with the bumper sticker. The Dems that support her are no more interested in a cohesive party than anyone else so to hell with them and their win. Obama or bust.

Brush those haters off! He’s so cool! LOL!

Lol ayyyyyyyyyy, gon dust ya shoulders off!!

it is great to see such a strong black woman stand beside her man. they are the role models they are the it couples right along with denzel in his wife. so very proud of there black wives. obama and michelle for 08. together they cannot be stopped. the haters will try so stay strong. keep the faith. i am so proud of the way obama has handle him self as a very intelligent, young beautiful black man. proud family man. you will win. win or lose we love you guys.

I hate Hillary as well but I’d rather see her than McCain. Bush backs him 100% and McCain backs him as well. I just think he’s sneaky just like Bush is. But hey we’ll see what happens. I can’t forsee the future.

#10 is right…..The Republican’s are going to rip Obama a new asshole with this Bill Ayers situation! He’s now handed John Mccain ammuntion that’s ready to be fired! When he’s backed in a corner he wants to whine….Get outta here, it’s politics baby! Hillary has been under attack since day one of this process (the underdog), but she takes the blows like a champ during EVERY debate. They asked him legitimate questions that the American people wanted answers to…..Just as they did Hillary! He talks about Hillary calling him out on his crap….Just wait until he feels Mccain’s raft lol! I wonder if he will brush those off his shoulders?

Obama is the coolest, most real man in politics!!!!!!!!!!!!

Why dont they squash the madness and run a dual ticket…that would be SIC and would totally run McCain out of town for SURE…

DJ MUTHA

Can’t wait for the primaries on Tuesday.

That is what’s up!!! Brush em off!!

DID YALL SEE HIM GIVE HILLARY THE FINGER IN HIS SPEECH!?!?!??!!!

start paying close attention around 1:12, but it actually happens at 1:18

http://www.youtube.com/wa...st-his-shoulders-off.html

Michelle ROCKS!! she is the HOTTEST CHICK or should i say HOTTEST 1st LADI in the GAME…. I Love the way she back’s her HUSBAND/Man and the way he depends on her even if he does not say it, it really show’s! I respect OBAMA for allowing her to have her own Words & Voice and she carries herself like a Ladi/Wife/Mother it is a “Great LOOK for AMERICA”…

OBAMA 08′

That debate was a joke. The moderators were horrible. It was nothing more than tabloid journalism garbage. Should see the number of negative comments on the ABC website.

@31 You said that they asked him legitimate questions that the American people wanted answered.
That is not true. Who wants to know about him wearing a flag pin? (which he wore a few days ago.. SMH) I would rather hear about what their plans are on trying to fix the economy… or the war, etc. And another thing.. Obama has stated that he’s intentionally going easy on Hillary. He even tried to help her out with that Bosnia ‘misspeak’ (lie) issue during the debate. She then turns around and attacks him. Gotta love her. Obama stated that he won’t be easy on the Republicans.

LMAO @ 36 YEAH I SAW THAT HE SCRATCHED HIS FACE WHEN HE SAID IT!! I LOVE BARACK

LMAO @ #37…..What are you talking about? Obama was in NO WAY attacked by Clinton in that debate! What debate did you watch? They asked Hillary about the Bosnia situation and she answered without whining and making excuses….GET REAL

I can guarantee he wants Clinton on his ticket if he happens to win the nomination…..He can’t win without her, just as she can’t win without him! Clinton supporters are not going to vote for Obama, just as Obama supporters are not going to vote for Hillary if she wins the nomination. They will need each other in the end if either wants to be Commander In Chief, and it does not take a genius to see this! I’m a Clinton supporter to the end, but i’m in no way dumb by a longshot! Just take a look at how close the margins are now….Neither can win the nomination without the superdelegate’s backing (winks)!

I love how Michelle know her man gon make it!

& Why is Hilary trying to call people out [on stupid stuff might I add ] when she stays lying all the time? She is so pitiful! Who lies about a pregnant woman dying? Or being in crossfire in Bosnia. Who can support a liar? You say you want a good president but want to vote for a liar! Might as well just let Bush chill in the white house.

I absolutely love these two!

i love the stephen colbert show…michelle seems like such an awesome person
GO BARACK

@#31 You’re not being serious are you? I guess you must have been in a coma the past three months because Hillary Clinton and her husband have “whined” about a media bias against her. There was nothing legit about the questions asked during the last debate unless you’re a right wing hack like sean hannity. And the backlash thats going around the country against the deabte proves you wrong. The American people want answers and solutions to the many problems their facing now (morgage, gas prices, Iraq, etc). Please pull your head out of Hillary’s ass and turn off Fox news.

O hell naw!!! Not only did he brush the dirt of his shoulders….but he dusted it off his knees!!!!! I love Obama!

It was obvious the moderators went harder at Barack than Hillary. Could be due to how lopsided Hillary feels the media is towards her or just because they felt it was the perfect time to attack. Who knows. Although I am a supporter of Barack, I did notice him fumble a few times, but he always brought it back to what’s important. Seriously, when questions from potiential voters about wearing an American flag pin on his lapel are brought up we need to refocus. I could wear a flag pin everyday but that doesn’t mean I should be president or have the ablity to run a country. Politicians and voters are always talking about giving the voter more credit and how intelligent they are…well voters stop falling for the smoke & mirrors

I’M SO SUPPORTIVE OF THE OBAMA’S AND NOTHING WILL EVER CHANGE THAT. YALL I JUST FOUND OUT MCCAIN IS 70 YRS OLD AND DRAWING SOCIAL SECURITY SINCE HE JUST SUBMITTED HIS TAX RETURNS A COUPLE H HOURS AGO…WTF…MCCAIN GO SOMEWHERE AND EAT PRUNES AND READ THE AARP MAGAZINE PLEASE..LET SOME REAL CANDIDATES WIN THIS ELECTION..

barack wants to be president i wish him well. YOU GOT ; people sett’n traps, hitt’n you w/ ” gotcha questions” everytime you make a move. DIGG’N DITCHES for you and on and on. and he must take over a country and a economy thats in a mess. the bush adminastration knew exactly want they were gonna do, loot and pilfer and benefit from all this turmoil, and then leave office and let the democrats deal w/ the shit they left behind. history will prove they do it every republican election cycle when its their turn they loot ,rob, cut taxes, drive the US in debt and then say ‘let them straighten it out’. and the trickle down effect comes in a thing called a stimulus check WHAT A FUCK’N SHAM AND JOKE. WHILE THE RICH GET TAX RELIEF. vanity of vanity “all is fair ” there is nothing new under the sun. barack to win is going to have to get GENERAL GEO. PATTEN on some ass. he defeated the germans by going back in time by remembering the lessons of HISTORY. thats the key there is nothing new under the sun. history repeats itself. but his way was the way he defeated his enemines. so get out ALL the history books there will be the answers and KEY to your sucess . because them republicans A-L-W-A-Y-S LEAVE OFFICE WITH SHIT IN A MESS. i’ve seen it all before the rich have had over 8yrs of bliss now its time not to give back, but its time to let the “real” people have a chance at the american dream. you are not suppose to get to greedy [GLUTTONY] but you can’t tell them people this. keep your power dry and that secert service circle tight. these haters can scare people . peace

@39 JAYLA06

Please try and pay attention next time. Hillary Clinton attacked Barack Obama over his relationship with William Ayers, founder of Weather Underground. Barack had to respond and put her in check by stating that under the Clinton administration, the Clintons pardoned members of that same group. Hillary please open mouth, insert foot.

Stephen Colbert is HILARIOUS & I think Michelle handled him masterfully.
& Obama is too suave the way he brushed the haters off… gotta love him.

Politics are all scripted current melo drama tv events- diebold ensures the winner. All politicians are global power elite puppets- even Obama.

A little of topic but how can Hillary call anyone elitist? Mirror check!

I love this couple! George Stephanopolus was clearly carrying water for Clinton since he used to work for Bill Clinton. I don’t think Obama was preared for that kind of debate but he has already won so it reall ydoesn’t matter. Dems need to start focusing on John McCain.

@43 ashleymichelle

That was for Monica Lewinsky, brushing the dirt off her knees. That was wrong, I shouldn’t have said that. LMAO

Gotta love Barack.

And the thing with Gibson, is, I think he is a McCain supporter. Just soo many things and questions point to it, if you watch enough of his interviews.

Barack has maintained such a high head about all of this. Seriously. Clinton will lose. Many said that Clinton won that last debate. Whatever. That’s because majority of that damn debate was aimed at trying to hurt Obama’s chances. That’s why.

George is an idiot too.

Oh and the person who said he was flippin hillary. I doubt it. You seem to be one of those people that are fishing for stupid things.

He’s got more class than that. Plus, Ive done that plenty of times before.

Did anyone else see Chelsea Clinton like 10 times during that debate? LMAO Yep, that debate was Pro-Hillary!

Barack the Vote!!!

ABC is definatly biased towards Hilliary Clinton…
That’s okay though…I t good to know who your enemies are up front.

Sideline issues actually do matter in this campaign, if they didn’t matter then a Compassion Forum wouldn’t have been held for the candidates to explain their stances on issues besides the economy, Iraq, borders,etc. Hillary misspoke about her Bosnia trip and got grilled down…she apologized yet she’s still taking heat….no one complained about that. But when Obama ‘misspeaks’ during a comment about bitter citizens clinging to religion, then he’s being picked on and distracted from talking about ‘real’ issues.
I’m not a supporter of Hillary or Obama, but anyone with 2 eyes can see that Hillary has been bashed the most throughout the entire campaign, and now that Obama is getting a little mud thrown his way, people want to cry foul, that’s hilarious.

Tizzy-T Whistlequeen
I agree.

Michello Obama, What a 1st LADY!!!

I just wish that Obama would speak as eloquently about his platform as he does about hope…he stumbles when it comes to policy…it might not matter to his flock…but this voter with a passion for politics just is not convinced…I am starting to hate the game…

And let me just say…

Come Nov…all democrats need to stay united and make sure that McCain does not get into the White House.

#59 I agree with you as well. Further more, it is important that we understand that is the way of politics. You can like who you like, but there are some realities that are inescapable. The presidential candidate will be scrutinized, sometimes even their family members are thrown in for good measure. In the last election, Bush’s drinking, partying ways in college no less, his grades in law school, his deferment from the active duty, his kids partying ways all were highlighted by media. Tipper Gore’s mental stability or at least the medication she was on was being highlighted in the medai. Remember when Bill Clinton was running for President and every misstep his brother made (drinking, business deals gone bust) was hung as an albatross around Bill Clinton’s neck. Wrong or right, Barack is now on the receiving end of what most before him and certainly Hillary has had to endure. Hillary has the unfortunate experience of having to tow the line for criticisms against her husband, what he said, what he did, etc.

Not to insult anyone here who believes Obama is being treated differently, but clearly he has been treated very well by us and the media for MOST of his run thus far. And yes, he has come under fire over the past couple of months over several things that are no different in my opinion than what others in a similar position have had to endure.

Finally, let’s think ahead. The Republicans have no allegiance to the Democratic candidates. If confirmed as the Dem candidate, the Reps will go after Barack and probably will not leave any pebble unturned. More will be revealed no matter how trivial and meaningless it may appear to be.

[...] POLITICAL ROUND UP: PA DEBATE & OBAMA BRUSHES OFF HILLARY …Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama faced off one last time Wednesday night before the Pennsylvania Democratic Primary on April 22. Obama spent much of the first half of the debate defending his words and associations with controversial …CONCRETELOOP.COM - http://concreteloop.com [...]

Thank you @63 Patience, what they’re doing to Obama they’ve done to all candidates, especially Hillary.

But its still wrong. I wish they would focus on the ISSUES, obama is WRIGHT about that one. (Pun intended). But yea, ABC was def kinda biased in that debate.

Frankly, i think Hillary would be way better than McCain. Can someone please tell me what is it thats so awful that the Clintons did during their time in office? So much that no one wants them over McCain? Shit, they stand for Democratic values, all bullshit aside. THey may still be and act like politicians ( cause i believe all politicans are full of shit, no one is excluded) but they will FIGHT for US.

It cant get any worse than Bush. Hillary knows that if she makes president and fucks it up by avoiding all the real issues, she’ll never be forgiven. She’ll be the most hated person so trust me when I say she will be a good president. Obama as well…

And i second what someone up there said, about history repeating itself. Everytime Republicans get in office they FUCK up the country to the point where only the rich prosper and everyone else suffers.

We need to eliminate the Republican party. Old rich white men passing on their corrupt values to the younger white generation.

too bad obama got his ass stomped in the debate

and to the people talking about this debate has been bais toward hilary.

the Media and other debates have been bais towards Obama since the begining. and once obama feels what shes been goin through. he complains.

and so do yall
