Obama won a great contest, but he has a tough decision to make ahead, whether to accept a very strong-headed personality like Hillary. She can help him bring states like OH, PA in Nov, but is Obama willing to have Hillary (and also Bill) by his side, to run the country, after such a hostile nomination contest

Today the world woke up and saw America though new eyes . They saw not only America's superior military might. They saw not only America's rightful leadership in the global war against terrorism. They saw the world's most power nation nominate a Black man with a funny sounding name (although that man is as much kin to the White as he is to the Black) to be the democratic nominee for President of the United States. The world that has demeaned and demonized America is in a state of "shock and awe". The nations of the world are compelled to see the American people and system through awestruck and admirable eyes for they see the proof that although there may be social, economic, racial, and historical problems in this great nation, the American system works in it's own time. It doesn't matter whether you are Republican, Democrat, or other. It doesn't matter if you support Obama or McCain, Huckelbee, or Hillary. What does matter is that you are a member of the greatest nation on earth. You are an American and to paraphrase another American with a funny sounding name, today America "Shook Up The World"

Okay explain something to me . Why is the media still
clueless? You all just don't seam to get it. Why are there
so many posts with regards to Hillary Clinton?

I am starting to wonder if tv news understands this
historic moment for America. Because you guys think
we care about Hillary's next move.

Why is her picture on what is coming up on the program
tonight when she did not win the nomination. I am starting
to wonder if CNN gets it.

I can not believe the worship of Obama. When the country falls to wreck and ruin please remember that you all picked to wrong person. Me, I am going for McCain even if Hillary is on the ticket or supports Obama. The Democratic party proved they do not want strong leadership and only wants headlines. Watch the fallout, it will be beautiful.

I am an American spending the summer in Kenya. Tonight I watched the news of Obama's nomination with a restaurant full of Kenyan men and women. His win was the lead story – schoolchildren dancing, people smiling. The Kenyan people are very excited about this news and have been following his campaign closely. I met a woman yesterday wearing an "Obama for President" button. There is excitement in the air here – and it's an interesting place for this American to be right now!

P.S.
And no, Hillary should not be VP. Obama needs someone who can and
has faught in a war, shot a gun, and has military history, um, I think that's
Webb of Virginia (?). T.

"It's over!"

Well, you'd better tell that to the Hillary supporters. I think it's a bitter pill for them to swallow. It takes time to get over it. I remember when I supported another candidate, Wesley Clark, and Kerry got the nod instead. I was heartbroken, and yah, I voted for Kerry, but there was
no "love", just a powerful urge to get Bush out. Give the Clinton's time,
they'll come around, but it won't ever be 'love', it will be duty that will make them vote Obama. And duty calls now.

Who cares what Hillary wants. Obama should put her on the VP list like anybody else he may be considering. What has to be done is what's best for this country and the Dem. party, not what Hillary wants. I'm sick of the media, the delegates and the DNC treating her like somehow she deserves to be the nominee. She worked at it and not as hard as Obama I might add since he had to fight Hillary and McCain, overcome Rev Wright, Ayers, being muslim, etc..and everybody kept quiet about her baggage. How can she be VP when Bill goes against what Obama believes in. While she's VP BIll will be working to keep NAFTA going. She has no respect for Obama as the nominee, she will have no respect for him as President. Just like everyone said that she would beat him and she didn't , now everyone is saying that he can't win without her. I disagree. If Obama's popular vote without MI, 17,869,542, plus the real Dems who supported Hillary (I'll say half) vote for Obama, he has a real chance of winning against McCain.

Hillary Clinton really lost me last night. I am a 58 year old white woman. With all of the experience she talks about having, did she not learn yet how to be gracious and congratulate someone who just made history!!!! How can Obama possibly entertain having Hillary as a running mate when she has shown NO support for him as a person or him as a candidate. She has to prove that she is someone who will support the next president of the United States, Obama!!...without regard to white woman followers. This is going to take some time to prove to me that she is suitable for the VP spot. So, stop asking about the dream ticket for now. I need time to figure out if she is working for this country or if she is working for her own self promotion.

I have never been so embarrassed to be a life-long democrat as I am right now. I do not believe that the Democratic Party has been fair to Hillary re: the votes in Michigan and Florida. Obama was not even on the ticket for crying out loud!, and he got the votes in Michigan! How in God's world did this ever become such a manipulated race? Hmmm, reminds me of the 2004 race when Al Gore won the popular vote and Old W won the election. Why ? Because his Daddy bought the election for him like he bought him the oil business agreements with the Saudis and, most every other thing that he has done in his life.
George W needs to be exiled from the US for making such a mess of the economy and causing people to lose everything they have worked so hard for all their lives.
I say that Hillary needs to drop the Dems and run as an Independent and I can assure you that the 18 million who supported her in this race will vote for her and not Obama.
It would be okay with me if I though for one minute that people were voting for Obama because he is the best candidate, but they are not; they are voting for him because he is black.

It's odd, isnt it? Everyone said race didnt play a role in this election, covert racists that the USA is, and yet, here we are claiming HISTORY was made with an African-American nominee.

When was it decided that the bi-racial nominee was indeed full blooded African-American? Just trying to keep it all honest, here.
Barrack is BI-RACIAL And that in itself is a WONDERFUL headliner to have as an historical event! Being of two bloods: diversity at its finest.

I have a little prediction: the church Obama FINALLY decides to attend will be Muslim affiliated.

Hillary "vows to fight on"? Umm...I thought last night made it official...she lost. I don't know how she is going to continue to fight. It is time for her to drop the hostile defense mindset and swallow her pride.
I am a McCain supporter, and I know that an Obama/Hillary ticket would be quite the combination to overcome.I just wish she would open her eyes and see the right action, then do it.

I think maybe their was a pod plant growing in McCain's backyard and he has been replaced with a clone............an evil version of McCain.

Bush met McCain in closed quarters last week in what was termed a "fundraising" meeting. I don't think so.............I think they met to discuss how they were going to create a smear campaign against Obama.

This new and unimproved Dr. Evil McCain is scary..........and Obama may need some help to discredit the Republican fear machine that is about to storm onto this country...................

WHY does everyone beleive that Clinton has so many backers that would affect the outcome of the General Election. We all know that Republican groups have admitted that they have mobilized groups of republicans to vote for her in the Primaries. All of those votes that she received were not just democrats who would have voted for her in the General Election. You can beleive that the oppoisite is more so true for Obama. It seems that Mr. Pfleger was RIGHT: HILARY CLINTON BELEIVES THAT she is ENTITLED to SOMETHING!

Hillary must be in the ticket. It is not just about Hillary; but about all the millions of supporters behind her. We are waiting for Sen. Obama to take this step now. It is up ti him now to do the right thing to bring the party together and secure that the Democratic Party goes unified to the elections in November. The ball is on his field.

The just completed primary, as far as I'm concerned, did nothing to reduce the general feeling of mistrust of the Clintons. Her constant claims of experience from Bills Presidency cuts both ways. People remember all too well that time period. Consequently, I would be surprised if Obama will get involved with the Clintons for his Presidency. Hillary alone? Maybe, but husband Bill would be a constant problem if his wife is VP.

It was Hillary's primary goal to damage Obama during this campaign, now she needs to figure out what she is going to do. Obama doesn't owe her a damn thing. She invested money into a campaign that she knew she couldn't win and through the kitchen sink at him – he doesn't owe her a thing. The only thing I would pay for if I was Obama would be her plane ticket to New York. If he chooses her for a running mate – I am going to choose my running mate away from him.

I am very disappointment with the panel at CNN. Every day for the past six months, the majority of your panel has been against Hilary Clinton. CNN should be fair to all the candidates and should have a equal amount of panelists that are for each candidate. Last night was terrible. Your panelists tore away at Hilary for not ending it last night. Why should she? The people of the US has voted and she got the majority of the popular votes. Remember, that your panelists are just offering their opinions. Well...I think you need to find some panelists that have different opinions. Their bias should be left at home. It makes me wonder if CNN does this on purpuse because she is a WOMAN.

You people will never get why until the very last primaries, Hillary still managed a win in SD even if everyone said it was over. Her supporters LOVE HER. Her speech last night was not about her, it was about the millions of voters who voted for a fighter! We do congratulate Obama for a well run campaign and brilliant tactics to win more delegates and clinch the nomination. But here's news to the rest of you, more people voted for her! We worked hard and voted hard for her, so we need a couple of days to "mourn" if you will. In the end, I am confident that she will "bow" out but it should be in her own terms! She deserves that-we deserve that!
