I'm Not Surprised The Clintons Won Tonight's Primaries. by Freewilly(f): 5:30am On Mar 05, 2008
The way they media been on Obama's behind for the past few days you'd think they on her payroll. This is the first time in my life I've ever payed any attention to politics and this is the slap I get on the face. Politics is noting but a very dirty, nasty thing and never again will I ever wast my time with it. Bill and Hillary can be the next president of America for all I care. I'm just sorry for black folks because I don't think there can ever be another black person that can rise up like Obama again.

obama exposed himself with the NAFTA thing and the tony rezko case. Obama's economic policies aren't that good either.

Lets just be honest enough to admit Clinton was simply better at the critical moments - the debates.
Re: I'm Not Surprised The Clintons Won Tonight's Primaries. by Ijiji1(m): 5:57am On Mar 05, 2008
I strongly agree with freewilly, If you watch msnbc, cnn and fox news  since last Friday, it'a all been negative topics about Obama and what Hillary needs to do to win.

What about Hillary not disclosing her income tax returns, not even one on the networks followed up on that.
Re: I'm Not Surprised The Clintons Won Tonight's Primaries. by 4Him(m): 5:59am On Mar 05, 2008
it was about time Clinton got some positive press for once. I think it was begining to dawn on most that Americans were about to elect someone they didnt really know.
Obama has tried . . . lets all be proud of his effort.
Re: I'm Not Surprised The Clintons Won Tonight's Primaries. by Ijiji1(m): 6:07am On Mar 05, 2008
In my opinion, Hillary was not getting any negative press, she was just not being talked about like she was In the beginning of the campaign and she felt so neglected and she was mad about it. Oh well I still have some hope for Obama, but he has a very slim chance of winning now.

The beauty of American politics. It is never over till the fat lady sings. We wish her well.

I'd started wondering if I was following the same primaries as Freewilly.

Clinton has been the most attacked candidate so far and she has taken the media on. Print media, online news and even cable TV scrutinized her every move. I saw a few of them that dismissed her race as over. I think the media should scrutinize both candidates. Obama had been comfortable for too long.

Beautiful victory for the Clintons, you can never write them off.

The race is still on.

I don't think attacking Obama was a mistake really, the media and the people were just too protective of Obama then.

I think the mistake she made was assuming victory before the race had started. Now she has once again shown the great fighter she is. I remember her coming from 11 straight defeats into a rally at Texas with boxing gloves. She's an amazing woman. The Clinton's are the new Kennedy's.

She has more depth than Obama and I back her all the way.

Re: I'm Not Surprised The Clintons Won Tonight's Primaries. by tatajega(m): 11:30am On Mar 05, 2008
I totally disagree completely with the opinion that Clinton got a hard knock from the international and American media, to me, i'll not be werong to say that the media has had a large chump in terms of pulling Obama down, dont forget the begining period of this primary elections; the media had it on him when they consistently aired a documentary showing Obama's roots traced to kenya for 2weeks non - stop, that was obviously a sponsored documentary by someone, ''who'' You certainly know more, after that a fuss on his weaknesses such as smoking cigar e.t.c began,then his inexperience,recently before the Texas and Ohio polls they began a srutiny of his middle name which is Islamic, he however has scaled through everyone of these by nocking Clinton out by eleven straight victories raising a banging sporadic effect cos they did not see him coming, I still believe he is the true canditate for change in America unlike Hillary who stands for nothing but old time political gimmicks to win an election just like she said to Obama - (shame on her) for if she eventually wins, the strategies she used againts Obama ll be used by someone who knows how to use it better to get a lanslide victory over her ie.,experience wise wish she has been making a loud noise on will certainly fail cos MCAIN is better, holla

Hello?

Obama is still WAY AHEAD in delegates counts which is where it matters. The delegate math is
just not there for Clinton, her yesterday's victory notwithstanding.

Clinton being scrutinized? By who? Can you imagine any other candidate whining and getting
away with it like Clinton has been doing?
Re: I'm Not Surprised The Clintons Won Tonight's Primaries. by JosBoy4Lif(m): 12:58pm On Mar 05, 2008
It's going to come down to super-delegates and as it stands Clinton is the lead,

Its a Race vs Gender war
Never rule out Hillary clinton
If Obama had a measure of the humilation the media unleashed on clinton.He would have cringed.
Clinton is a winner ,anytime

me I don tire for this Hillary/Obama saga.

all these "too close too call" calls are too hyper for my liking.

But for people who are giving themselves heart attack over Obama, as if this is the first time the US will be having an election, na wa o. undecided

I'm suprised some of you pretend not to notice how the media esp CNN supported Obama for a long time and were constantly having negatives on Hilary.
I think she's got a strong character, Obama has been riding on the media praises for too long

Obama has being nothing but a media pet project. He is a guinea pig in the hands of the media to test the extent of their influence over the decisions of the community at large. No one dares criticize him. Can you even imagine McCain campaign manager saying he wont run any negative (even though factual) ads about Obama? Is the fear of Obama, which translates to the fear of media backlash the beginning of wisdom?

Something I found on Obama's website, I'll like to shear with you guys;

http://my.barackobama.com/page/community/post/samgrahamfelsen/gGBLmx


TAKE THE CLIP FROM THE LAST DEBATE WHERE HILLARY SAYS, "I WOULD TAKE MY IRAQ VOTE BACK", **

SEGUE TO :

SOLDIERS, Women and Men, PERSONAL STATEMENTS FACE TO THE CAMERA, CLOSE UP, ABOUT :

THE PTSD, THE NIGHTMARES, FLASHBACKS THEY CAN'T GIVE BACK,

THE WOUNDED WHOSE LIMBS CAN'T BE BROUGHT BACK

WIDOWS& CHILDREN SPEAKING ABOUT MISSING HUSBANDS, FATHERS, MOTHERS, PARENTS THEY CAN'T GET BACK

KIDS WHOSE MOM OR DAD CAN'T PICK THEM UP OR PLAY WITH THEM BECAUSE THEIR TRAUMATIC BRAIN INJURY HAS STOLEN THEIR ABILITY TO DO SIMPLE THINGS.

KEEP HER VOICE, OVER AND OVER AND OVER, THAT SHE WANTED HER VOTE BACK.

Sen. Obama. Enters the scene and says…


~LIVES CAN'T BE GIVEN BACK.
~KIDS WITHOUT DADS OR MOMS DON'T GET THEIR PARENTS BACK.
~MISSING LIMBS DON'T COME BACK.
~TRILLIONS OF DOLLARS FOR THIS COUNTRY'S INFRASTRUCURE DON'T COME BACK.

IF YOU COULD GET THAT VOTE ON IRAQ BACK MRS. CLINTON, WHAT WILL YOU GIVE THIS COUNTRY IN RETURN?

hmmmm - I'm surprised at the number of people attacking Obama in this thread - no comment.

Everybody wants to see themselves in elevated positions, but soon as another black man want achieve something, they are quick to tear him down.

This goes way beyond your views on his 'economic policy' - this is about a liberation of attitudes - about bringing hope to the x amount of black children, including ourselves that we too can make it to the very top. Instead, I just see some peeps brainwashed into defining themselves along party partizan lines. OBAMA IS MY MAN, nothing spoil - he will still win this shit.
Re: I'm Not Surprised The Clintons Won Tonight's Primaries. by fatherab1: 1:04pm On Mar 06, 2008
IBIME MY BROTHER,
Dont mind those who blame, attack and criticize obama. The are displaying a typical naija mentality. Even some of them who claim by their addresses that they r based in d usa, their mentalities are yet unreformed. They pull down another black man even though no white man praising them for doing so. embarassed embarassed embarassed embarassed embarassed embarassed embarassed embarassed cry cry cry cry cry
