NOT TRUE. She was talking about managing her own family. This is what the Clinton people and Clinton herself do.

Rachel. I can't believe you are falling for what so many others are: that Obama won't be tough with McCain. He has said OVER AND OVER that running against a fellow Dem is completely different from running in the general; that you don't damage your own. He has promised that he is tough enough when it will be appropriate and I believe him. Clinton hasn't cared how much she damages the other Dem. THAT IS WHY I CAN'T RESPECT CLINTON ANYMORE.

If she is willing to tell this many untruths while running, why should I believe she will suddenly start telling us nothing but the truth if she is elected? Bill told us one thing during campaign and did another; so did Bush. I WANT SOMEONE WHO TELLS THE TRUTH ALL THE TIME

Obama, 63%, Clinton, 37%

Obama, 60%, Clinton, 40%.

I am a "them"!

I love being a "them"!

I used to be a "them" to only Republicans.

The Clintons' used to court my "them-ness" but apparently I am not a sought after "them" any more.

At one time it was part of the American Dream to be a "them" but that time has passed.

I have become a demon-ized "them".

A lot of "everybodies in the know" tell me I am a "them" that does not need to work, I am a "them" that must have a trustfund, but they never say so explicitly, yet I wonder how the Clintons & the "everybodies" think "them" put food in their bellies, or how "them" put gas in their cars?

I wonder if there is a "them" ATM on every corner where "thems" like me can go to get free money by inserting their own personal "them" card, yet I've never seen any other "thems" doing this or for that matter the "them" machine.

I am a "them" that is now sexist, because I chose to think, but that has always been a problem of my type of "them" when we are a "them."

At one time, my "them" ancestors used what would now make them "them" to dodge the draft, but because they dodged the draft, they can now talk about how patriotic it is to die for your country and by doing so, they have exempted themselves from being "them." Apparently the training in alchemy allows those "thems" to convert back and forth as they wish from "them" to "not them."

The Clinton's were once "thems" but they seemed to use alchemy of a different sort to convert into "us."

Even the President is a "them" but because he didn't do too good in "them" training and might have done too much trying to make all "them" like him, he's lost his "them-ness" and was elected as an "us"-type of guy. What a joke on all the "us"es when they realized he wasn't an "us" but wasn't a "them" either. What was even worse, he liked to speak of all as "us" except those evil "thems" over there, which insulted all the "thems" here that were not like the "thems" over there at all!

Things were simpler only a few years ago, when us "thems" were happy to be "thems" according to Republicans, but now some Democrats of Power, consider us horrible, worthless "them" and we are angry. Us "thems" want our "us"es to stand for integrity and to stand up for what "us"es used to stand up for, but we have become only "thems" and we no longer matter or are entitled our beliefs.

On an up note, all us "thems" can get free stuff from the "them"machine. Now all I have to do is find the other "thems" as I hope they've found the "them"machine as I'm getting really hungry.

Do you know what "them" I am? Are you a "them" too and don't understand why?

Me either, but I'm glad a "them-squared" has risen out of the trash from which all of us "them" have been cast.

He comes with what would be considered a traditional "them-tripled", yet Clinton has attempted to strip away one of the "them" powers, so I don't know if she is a "them-tripled" or "them-squared"? I like the "them-tripled"!

That would make the combination "them-squared" plus "them-tripled" and that would be just great to me! "Thems" to powers are great!

"THEM" ARE COLLEGE EDUCATED!

Reality check for all of you caught-up in the Obama rallies and cries of Hope. How is he going to accomplish what he professes? He hasn’t given any real solutions except to say he a change candidate. What does change mean when you offer no real substance?

I’ve been a democrat for as far back as I can remember. We as Dems felt this way with John Kerry in 2004, only to see him become more concerned with bashing Hillary as a surrogate than doing his job.

Obama’s new electoral map seems more wishful thinking than practical. FL, OH and PA and we don’t have 8 years of George W. Bush. Our economy would be stronger and we wouldn’t be in debt from an endless war. How is Obama going to fix this? We don’t know, because it one thing to give speeches to large crowds and another to offer real leadership by way of solutions.

On the message of sexism and racism; yes sexism is still acceptable! The glass ceiling for women still exists. A woman winning the White House is a far greater change than a black male being elected in 2008.

Let’s not pretend that Hillary injected race, when it is our beloved Chris Matthews that first said Hillary won New Hampshire due to the Bradley Effect and had to issue an apology in the following days. I am not a Clinton Supporter, because Barack happens to be black. That is the furthest thing from my mind. I don’t support him because he offers me no real solutions.

This country needs real change not speeches. How can we say, Obama will reach across the isle, when he was a in the senate for 16 months when he decided to run for President. Now let’s talk about one’s personal agenda.

Let’s be honest the reason he is on the brink of winning the nomination isn’t because he is more qualified, he’s not and I’m sure the analyst will agree. It is because he raised more money. Don’t get me wrong, his machine is remarkable and a model for elections to come but the new voters that he is credited with are donating because they have bought into this message of Hope not realizing in the end; Hope without solutions is another lost election.

I hope I am wrong, but the Dems are in trouble come November. We have one candidate that is more than qualified and one candidate that people like more including the media. Let’s hope that the super delegates can stay above the hype of the campaign and do their job and give us a candidate that can win the General Election in November and turn this ailing country around.

@ James

pt 1. How do you bring change if you have become the "what" people want to change?

pt 2. we did not feel "this way" about way about Kerry, Gore yes, Kerry no. He was a sad reflection of all the Dems could muster in 2004, just as McCain has become the best the R's can muster this year.

pt 3. I am tired of counting solely on "Ohio" to deliver the WH, when 2 elections in a row they have voted against their own best interests. I am willing to consider the "new electoral map" offered, given the rust belt continues to atrophy & brain drain to the West, who's states grow & increases % of those not content with the status quo.

pt 4. Hillary never reconciled her vote to authorize war, that is the underlying reason why she did not wrap up the nomination months ago.

pt 5. Hillary has crossed the line so far, she is losing her identity as a Dem. i.e., Iran & Gas tax Holiday.

pt 6. now because Hillary didn't raise as much money it is the Obama's fault? Hello, you fail to remember she has the bully-pulpit of Bill, who raises $millions giving speechs, to more than compensate getting out Hillary's message. Hillary had fame to boot going into this, that Obama did not, so your point is moot and airs of "jealousy" & envy.

Bill spent the better part of a week before the Oregon elections courting the rural voters, to the tune of about 30,000 voters not to mention Hillary' & Chelsea's visits. Obama rallied his supporters in 2 & 1/2 days, spending under 1 day in the real non-urban areas of Oregon. For the most part they split the vote in the rural areas. If Bill Clinton can't rally the supporters over 7 days, then what does that say about Hillary's popularity and ideas?

We have a tough job of both carrying the Dem Presidential in this "not all liberal" state let alone a very difficult campaign of booting Gorden Smith, that we no longer need this decisiveness to turn away any single democratic voter that we need each & every one to get Smith out of his rural supported entrenched position.

Pt. 7 Hope is what we all crave and what we all need, not pander & devision.

ps if not caught above in my quirky post, I am sick of being characterized by HRC as having a silver spoon in my mouth because i have a degree. I have to work hard every day to make ends meet to, so why am I not "working class" also?

Which is worse, sexism, racism or anti-Semitism?

So what tactic is she using today? Will she continue on racism issues? What about the veiled anti-Semitism? Oh that's right, she using the sexism ploy now.

I am beyond heartbroken that in four states, 20-25% of the people exiting voting polls actually admitted that their votes were racially based. This is unbelievable and despicable! In the interest of encouraging honest and constructive dialogue, I would like to share a link to a video of Mr. Tim Wise presenting his theory of "The Creation of Whiteness".
http://www.redroom.com/video/tim-wise-creation-whiteness-clip

This theory explains the historical roots of racism in our country and its context to current problems. I remember quite distinctly the debate wherein Clinton insisted that Obama use specific language to denounce renounce and reject an anti-Semitic supporter. Am I the only person that sees the hypocrisy in Clinton accepting and boasting the support of white racists?

Which leads me to ask; how in the world could she be proud of that kind of a win? Further to that, by being proud of those wins, she is saying to every ethnic group that has been supporting her, "Hey people of every other color than white, look at how I devalue your importance to me by accepting all my white racist supporters!" How does Andrew Young and all the other ethnic supporters continue to stand by her? In essence she is saying that it is okay to be racist. How is that any better than being anti-Semitic?

If she argues sexism, that really falls flat for me. She came out of the election block with the highest namebrand recognition. Her husband is a former President, of popular and controversial fame. She also commanded extreme support of the big money donors in the party. Sexism implies disadvantage and when you look at the majority of the mainstream media play that she has received, she can not argue disadvantage.

Are Clinton supporters saying that being anti-Semitic is worse than being racist, or now is sexism worse? For thinking people everywhere, all three are completely despicable. This can not stand as acceptable to anyone, other than a racist or a bigot. Please view this video and let us all start to communicate towards solutions that value the preciousness of everyone.

So here is the larger personal question, how can I as a Hispanic woman and Democrat support her if she seeks the support of white racists? I could never support McCain for reasons related to the religious supporters that he seeks such as Reverend Rod Parsley, and Reverend John Hagee either. For anyone with principles and convictions, this is an impossible situation.
