Next up in the hot seat: Sen. Hillary Clinton »

The huge response from iReporters with questions for Sen. Barack Obama was matched with another very strong turnout for Sen. Hillary Clinton. More than 60 video and photo questions were submitted. Hundreds of comments and additional questions were posted on iReport.com. Discussion touched her candidacy, fuel prices and the economy.

Clinton responded directly to questions from sutton85 and WCNreporter, which were chosen to air on "The Situation Room." The discussion also became a major part of stories on CNN.com, where we also had a chance to feature other outstanding some submissions that weren't aired. Did you get a chance to watch the interview? What answers and comments affected you the most? Any questions you'd like to ask? Share your response as a video commentary.

Im so sick of Obama, and they wonder why Clinton supporter would support Mccain. This election has been so bogus, Clinton never had a chance because in congress & the medias eyes Obama can do know wrong. the man stood my Rev. Wright for 20yrs his friend and everything, then when it becomes an issue. Oh it aint like that, I dont feel the same way or support his beliefs. Funny how he did for 20 yrs untill now. Our his good old buddy the home grown terrorist, just cause he aint tryed to blow up anybody in congress in 20 or so yrs he's nowall of a sudden a good ol' guy. And thats alright, Right. Or when he gets caught trash talking people he conciders his self better then. Then I miss worded it, oops I got caught. And its no big freakin deal. Clinton has one miss placed word and they blow it out of preportion. She says white and shes racist.
He says its alright sweetie, and no where do you hear he's a sexist. Im so sick of Obama, Im so sick of everybody treating him like a god, and throwing Hillary to the freakin dogs. IF he were a white man, This nomination would be over with. He has no experiance in congress, barely old enough to run for office. This is a racist election. Because if wasnt black he wouldnt Be getting away with all the crap he has. Cause if he white and his preacher was klans men they would have shut this down before it started. And more people need to start speeking the mind and not being afriad to say whats been needing to said.
Out of all three of them Clinton is the only one that will do what she says and promises. She aint blowing smoke up know ones a**es.
And we know that as a County.
BUT ONLY THE WEALTHYS VOTE COUNTS RIGHT!
YA! our votes dont count unless there or Barak Obama! Another rigged election like the 2000 election.
Ill vote for Mccain before Obama! and I aint the only one that feels this way in this country. IF not Clinton, Im not supporting Obama!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

OB BLESS AMERICA FOR CHANGE, AS WE SHED THE OLD PRIMITIVE WAYS OF OUR POLITICS DURING OUR MODERN 20TH CENTURY, IN WHICH CANDIDATE CLINTON ELUDED TO THAT THE LEAD TO THE ASSASSINATION OF MANY OF OUR GREAT LEADERS IN THIS COUNTRY AND ABROAD. AMERICA CAN CHANGE AND BE A COUNTRY OF EXAMPLE TO THE WORLD, OF HOW TO TAKE THE HIGH ROAD OF HEALING COMING TOGETHER. IMPORTANTLY, THIS WORLD MUST OBSERVE US AS A CIVILIZED GOD FEARING NATION OF ADVANCEMENT, AN EXAMPLE NATION AS WE LEAD NATIONS AND OUR UNITED STATES, LOOKING FOR OUR GUIDANCE OF AN AWESOME MAGNITUDE, INTO THE 21 CENTURY! YES WE CAN!

IT SOUNDS AS THOUGH THERE IS DESPERATION IN THE AIR THROUGH THE VOICE OF A GOD FORBIDDEN PIOUS ONE THAT NOW WANTS TO GROAN AN OLD AMERICAN FOLKLORE 'hang down your head Tom Dulley' and to recklessly uttered the ode of June and then say--'Oh my what did I say , I'm sorry!' Yes, sad enough history does repeat itself and sadly but, we must continue to be humble and forgive. we must remember, " There was another time in the history of the human race, the pharaoh refused to set the captives free and in defiance attempted to put to death the first born of a nation of people God favored. The pharaoh was only to learn that the curse he prophesied on a chosen people and a God given course fell on his own lot and started at home. God forgive all of us, our flesh wars with the spirits within; and forgive us, we know not what we say--- Your words forever remain true our words Bless us or curse us, -- Heals us or kills us "God heal the festering sores of the American fabric for the time for healing is now; I pray in Jesus name I pray God Bless America and let us share absolute true love through your chosen leaders. Greater is He that is within us than he that is of this world. I humbly insist all of us that know the power of prayer, pray with faith because you are chosen and worthy, pray not our will, but God's will be done! Let's plead that same blood of the Eternal Lamb of God that was assassinated for our salvation to cover not just our candidates during this trying moment, but the spirits, minds and bodies of all the people that are standing on this land and abroad.

EXCELLENCES

For the first time in my life I am beginning to FEAR being an American!Few of us have forgotten the atrocities of having been lacksidaical in heeding WARNING SIGNS from the likes of Timothy Mc.Veigh or 9-11! Timothy Mc.Veigh like all other TERRORIST was not alone nor did his actions happen on spur of the moment! Barrack Obamas CLOSE associations with Rev.Wright,,Ayers and that Shyster Tony Resko have been discounted by Obamas simple "dissassociation" AFTER EXPOSURE and by making all LEGITIMATE QUESTIONS by US CITIZENS "OFF LIMITS".
Excuse me? Is this not the USA? Do we no longer have FREEDOM OF SPEECH? Are we USCITIZENS not ENTITLED to KNOW THE BACKGROUND OF THOSE WE ELECT? "If you sleep with dogs you will get bit by fleas" Obamas CHOICE of associates no we do not believe they were mere "acquaintences" We do not have "Acquaintences visit our homes or babtize our children or declare them our "mentors"!
If our Government does not investigate QUESTIONABLE ACTIVITIES BY ELECTED OFFICIALS THEN THE SAFETY AND SECURITY OF THE US CITIZENS IS IN JEOPARDY! That is why I cannot understand and agree with angies blog on how it is that Barack Obama is ALLOWED to raise campaign funds from SPECIAL INTEREST GROUPS AND LOBBYIEST by using the LOOPHOLE that he only ACCEPTS money from INDIVIDUAL that belong to these because as he has said what he says during the campaign "is just political rhetoric" so I am sure he can "settle" with this groups once he is elected. A trick I am sure he learned from one of his many questionable aliances namely Tony Resko! "
What is unbelievable is that the DSCC continues to turn a blind eye to this DIRTY CAMPAING TACTICTS! If we as ordinary citizens not versed in law can see and hear (from Obama) THE OBVIOUS LOOPHOLE of his DIRTY CAMPAIGN FUND RAISING then it seems impossible that the DSCC does not see investigate and STOP THIS! Because surely the Delegates are not suffering from COLLECTIVE BLINDNESS AND DEAFNESS so we are left to surmize the reason they are increasingly endorsing Obama must be because of all THIS DIRTYCAMPAIGN MONEY RAISING. Or should we even more concerned that something else and more CORRUPT is going on?
Because HILLARY CLINTON has won every VOTE NEEDED to win in November, the middle class, the blue collar, the big states yet after EVERY HILLARY WIN Obama and his campaing declare himself the victor, and wins more delegate endorsements despite the other OBVIOUS OBAMA CANNOT WIN THE ELECTION IN NOVEMBER!
The Democratic Party seems to have their heads stuck in a certain part of theri digestive excretory systems and insists on IGNORING ALL THE BLATENT WARNING SIGNS THAT OBAMA IS NOT ONLY NOT ELECTABLE BUT HIS CHARACTER RAISES SOME SERIOUS QUESTIONS THAT SHOULD BE INVESTIGATED (of any American Citizen engaged and associated with kinds of groups, people Obama associates with like Rev.Wright, Ayers, Tony Resko) Let alone someone running for the highest office; If this issues are not addressed it leaves us US CITIZENS feeling VULNERABLE AND AFRAID instead of FEELING SECURE in our ELECTED OFFICIALS! THIS ISSUES MERIT INVESTIGATION AND QUESTIONS SHOULD BE ANSWERED despite all of Obamas "distancing" himself ONLY AFTER EXPOSED and repeated telling the media and the PUBLIC that questions "are off limits".
We live in perilous times our Nation faces many SERIOUS issues and threats AND WE CANNOT AFFORD TO BE LACKSIDAICAL WITH THE PERSON WE ELECT FOR THE HIGHEST OFFICE!We CANNOT afford to FORGET 9-11 or Timothy McVeigh did .And as Angie pointed out Obamas Associations are FAR WORSE!

McCain is wrong about the GI Bill in that it was never used to retain individuals in the military but it was used as inducement to get people to join the military. You get people to stay in the military by providing pay that is comparable to private sector pay (the actual money they bring home) and focusing on the retirement benefits. To keep people in the military provide them a work experience that they like and this will aide in them deciding to make it a career. I was in the military for about four years (during the draft years) it was the GI Bill that helped me but it would not have convinced me to stay.

Well I tell you fellow americans. I am a retired army veteran vietnam era type. Been there and seen that. It is obvious to me that John McCain is a War Monger at heart. Anyone under 40 years old beware, if he is elected president of the U.S. , look for more small wars and a draft in the military for two years or more. I strongly recommned a vote for Obama. I am an independent voter but McCain is the worse possible person to be president in the USA. Being a POW in vietnam does not auto entitle you to be an expert on warfare nor president. Under 40 VOTE OBAMA

What boggles me is The Clinton's insistence that the press wants Obama to win with the ulterior motive that McCain will win.
What is it with Liberals believing that the press is supporting McCain (or any conservative at that)? the ratio if liberal to conservative members of the press is 8:1 (Columbia university study).
Obama is the press's starchild and they are going to do EVERYTHING in their power to ensure he will win.
I don't like Hilary much, but she's not insane. And she had a semi-realistic approach to her policies. Definitely not like Obama. I'm pretty scared what Obama is going to do with a democrat controlled congress and no opposition whatsoever from the press or congress.

JFK's campaign slogan -- "Don't ask what your country can do for you, but ask what you can do for your country"

Obama's campaign slogan -- "Don't ask what you can do for your country, because the federal government is going to ensure that everyone is ok no matter what without any effort on your part... at least until the 3 trillion dollars we have saved up in social security is gone in about 12 years, but I'll be out of office by then so it doesn't really matter. We can just blame the Bush administration and global warming."

What I can't understand is this twisted logic of Hillary Clinton "democrats" that plan on voting for John McCain if she is not the nominee? This makes absolutely NO SENSE!

I mean seriously. The policy differences between the two of them are basically nonexistent, and the thought of a republican in office for another 4 years will be a devastating blow to our country. I supported Obama in my state's primary. I am not a fan of Hillary Clinton. I find her to be a bit self serving and dishonest. But what politician isn't?

If for some reason Hillary was to win this thing in the end. I would vote for her, tell my friends to vote for her, and do whatever I could in my small little world to ensure that she is the next president!

But Hillary supporters, (and obama supporters) need to get a grip in my humble opinion. This race is NOT sexist in any way shape of form. Hillary Clinton is hardly a victim, and this is all about put a dem back in the WH!

So to all my fellow democrats. They are both smart and able candidates. Don't let your emotions give way to plain logic. Support the democratic ticket regardless of who's on it, and let's run the next four years with a solid majority in both houses, AND the white house!

Please don't be stupid.

I have heard all the Democrats and Republicans running for president speak and know what they have said about the big issues. One man that stands out to me this year that is not on the list of candidates, but should be, is the fairest and most intelligent man in Washington. That is NY Congressman, Charlie Rangel, who is a black man. Let's face the facts here. Obama will get the nomination based largely on young black voters that really do not have the right due to their ignorance of what they are doing here...to vote and base their vote solely on that their candidate is black! They have the viewpoint that it is time for a black president, and they really know nothing for the most part of Obama's plans...Obama, himself, really does not know his plans!!! He is running his campaign show by the seat of his pants and his eloquent mouthpiece. Eight years ago, a lame white population of voters elected us the most ignorant president in US history and elected him not once, but twice!!! Now young black American voters are going to get us a novice in the Whitehouse, based on their ignorance. If they had brains and SIMPLY want a black president, then they should vote for a black man that is very intelligent...Intellgent more than 90% of white people in the country, age not included here. Charlie Rangel is a great man, politician, and a born leader with a heart. Charlie Rangel should be running for president! Obama will prove to be the third strike and our "OUT", putting America up as a true three time loser, when he IS elected!

Watching Mr. Ickes speak in DC today made my stomach turn. Of course the Clinton supporting Mr. Ickes wants all of the Michigan votes counted, Obama wasn't on the ballot, it's virtually impossible for him to win and those are the odds they prefer, no debate, no discussion but rather an acceptance of a birth right only the Clinton camp believes they have the right to.
It was embarrassing to hear the many jeers from the gallery during these hearings, one man shouted in re: to the 1/2 vote agreement; " it;s like putting lipstick on a pig". The votes were not counted because the rules were broken. Watching these poor losers shout about the injustice was just plain disgusting. It's no wonder the pundits clamor to call this the DNC's fault every time a loss is handed down. It was very evident today that the majority of voters on the Clinton side are the uneducated, the uniformed, and the embarrassing face of the party. They remind me of their southern redneck counterparts that speak so loudly they steal the thunder from the more intelligent people on their side of the isle. In order for the DNC to pull of a unification, they have to ask the Clinton camp not to bus in the degenerate portion of her supporters, these are the clowns better suited for screaming 1/2 drunken obscenities at their children's soccer games, not for taking part in the democratic process. Please Hilary, keep the scary face of the party, the stupid, from speaking and especially screaming for you. It cheapens the process and says to the world that "blue collar" means dumb. It does not, it means loyal, dedicated and hard working. Stop sending out of work, stupid democrats to represent you and the rest of this party.

As a First Time Voter and a African American I find that this election has put on the table what america has tried so hard to hide. The fact that race still plays a role in american government today. In so many ways, and words ppl have made Obama seem to be less then what he is, a person of change and hope for many AMERICANS. Coming from a background of nothing to running for the president of the United States sends a sign all across the world, that if you try hard enough and dont give up will win. Too many ppl have forgotten, or dont know what it means to be a TRUE DEM.m bc if they did IT WOULD NOT MATTER SO MUCH WHO IS THE PARTIES CAND. But the fact that we want a Dem. in the WHITE HOUSE. WAKE UP AMERICA, GET WITH THE TIMES, GET UR HEADS OUT OF YOUR A**'s and VOTE for a DEM. IN the FALL!!!

Hillary should run in the general election as an Iindependent. Obama has been in public life for a short time. Please someone tell what he has done for America or it's people? Don't tell me what he has done for the inner cities, tell what he has done for people of all walks of like, poor, middle class, any race not just the black community. Has he ever done anything that made a difference?
If Hillary had Obama's views and Obama had Hillary's views would you still vote for Obama or would you now vote for Hillary? IF you are still voting for Obama you are only voting for him because of his skin color. Is that fair to all of us or are voting on the issues? NO!! We are about to hand over the country to McCain if Obama wins the primary. He should be Hillary's vp and then he will be ready in 8 years. In 8 years with VP experince he will get my vote 100%. We need Hillary in the White House. If we don't do it now we will in 4 years. Hillary for PRESIDENT!!

The Democratic Party must realize that we ARE NOT GOING TO WIN THIS YEAR. I've heard lots of democrats saying if Hillary is not the candidate they will vote for McCain or Ron Paul (if he's still on it as independent)but they will never vote for Obama because they can't trust him. I agree, there is something about him that it's just not right. Be careful, that's how Latin American leaders fooled their countrypeople... we've seen it these days. May God be with us if the Republicans keep the power...

My husband and I are college educated, white,live in New Mexico and have a really really, REALLY hard time finding jobs. Obama supports it and if he becomes president, it will (finding jobs) will only get worse for the Anglo population of USA. Yes, I agree with some of you, HRC is the better choice for President. I will even elect McCain over Obama.

According to Snopes.com, http://snopes.com/politics/obama/thesis.asp
And to http://www.truthorfiction.com/rumors...elle-obama.htm
Princeton was requested to put a 'restriction' on distribution of any copies of the thesis of Michelle Obama (a/k/a/ Michelle laVaughn Robinson) saying it could not be made available until November 5, 2008 but when it was published on a political website they decided they would lift the restriction.
Subj: Thesis - Michele Obama aka Michelle LaVaughn Robinson
OBAMA'S MILITANT RACISM REVEALED

In her senior thesis at Princeton, Michele Obama, the wife of Barack Obama stated that America was a nation founded on "crime and hatred'. Moreover, she stated that whites in America were 'ineradicably racist'. The 1985 thesis, titled 'Princeton-Educated Blacks and the Black Community' was written under her maiden name, Michelle LaVaughn Robinson.
Michelle Obama stated in her thesis that to 'Whites at Princeton , it often seems as if, to them, she will always be Black first...' However, it was reported by a fellow black classmate, 'If those 'Whites at Princeton ' really saw Michelle as one who always would 'be Black first,' it seems that she gave them that impression'.
Most alarming is Michele Obama's use of the terms 'separationist' and 'integrationist' when describing the views of black people.
Mrs. Obama clearly identifies herself with a 'separationist' view of race.
'By actually working with the Black lower class or within their communities as a result of their ideologies, a separationist may better understand the desperation of their situation and feel more hopeless about a resolution as opposed to an integrationist who is ignorant to their plight.'
Obama writes that the path she chose by attending Princeton would likely lead to her 'further integration and/or assimilation into a white cultural and social structure that will only allow me to remain on the periphery of society; never becoming a full participant.'
Michele Obama clearly has a chip on her shoulder.
Not only does she see separate black and white societies in America , but she elevates black over white in her world.

Here is another passage that is uncomfortable and ominous in meaning:
'There was no doubt in my mind that as a member of the black community, I am obligated to this community and will utilize all of my present and future resources to benefit the black community first and foremost. '
What is Michelle Obama planning to do with her future resources if she's first lady that will elevate black over white in America ?
The following passage appears to be a call to arms for affirmative action policies that could be the hallmark of an Obama administration.
'Predominately white universities like Princeton are socially and academically designed to cater to the needs of the white students comprising the bulk of their enrollments.'

The conclusion of her thesis is alarming.
Michelle Obama's poll of black alumni concludes that other black students at Princeton do not share her obsession with blackness. But rather than celebrate, she is horrified that black alumni identify with our common American culture more than they value the color of their skin. 'I hoped that these findings would help me conclude that despite the high degree of identification with whites as a result of the educational and occupational path that black Princeton alumni follow, the alumni would still maintain a certain level of identification with the black community. However, these findings do not support this possibility.'
Is it no wonder that most black alumni ignored her racist questionnaire? Only 89 students responded out of 400 who were asked for input.
Michelle Obama does not look into a crowd of Obama supporters and see Americans. She sees black people and white people eternally conflicted with one another.
The thesis provides a trove of Mrs. Obama's thoughts and world view seen through a race-based prism.
This is a very divisive view for a potential first lady that would do untold damage to race relations in this country in a Barack Obama administration.

Michelle Obama's intellectually refined racism should give all Americans pause for deep concern.
Now maybe she's changed, but she sure sounds like someone with an axe to grind with America . Will the press let Michelle get a free pass over her obviously racist comment about American whites? I am sure that it will.
PS: American tax payers paid for her scholarship.

I want an economy that will provide from myself, my children and my grandchildren. Education they can afford health care equal for all and someone to work on alternative energy. Its also important that this person can speak and get along with leaders of other countries, As the world needs to work together for each country to provide for each other as what we use today to provide for energy will not be the same for my grandchildren's children.

I am a 40 year old black male residing in Washington, DC. I must first say that I am speechless at the events and now end result of the past 16 months.

I am originially from NC. I vividly remember as a young child being asked in school what do you want to be when you grow up? Never would I have said the president of the United States. But now kids of every race can accuatually say I can relate and trully believe that I can be anything I set out to be. Thats amazing!! And whats more amazing is that I am living and experiencing this paramount, historical moment with all American and the World.

I believe Barack when he speaks of hope and a new direction. Its simple for me. When I look at Barack I see truth, honesty, hope, and among many other things change. What will the end result be should he be elected is yet to be seen.

Lets give this soldier our support and prayers to unify this country and the world.

Let me start off by saying that the nomination of Barack Obama was long overdue and I am so glad that he can now focus on the more important issue, which is making it into the white house and making the over-due changes that are necessary for all people to survive, not just the rich. I have been watching CNN daily and I am absolutely appauld at the behavior of Senator Clinton. I had so much respect for her husband, but after the "she needs more time speech" that he gave, instead of encouraging the unity of the democratic party, I am disappointed.

Senator Clinton had an opportunity to seriously do something that no other woman has ever done and even though she did not win the Democratic nomination, she still had an opportunity to do something great and show her maturity and grace. After her speech on Tuesday, I think that she has proven those sexist right who feel that women should not be in power positions. She is responding out of emotions, instead of intelligence. She has just proven to America that she can not, nor should never be given a serious leadership role. You can not throw a temper tantrum when things do not go your way, you have to stay strong when faced with adversary. Senator Clinton should have been endorsing Obama quite some time ago. It was suggested to her repeatedly, but she wanted to do things her own way and in her own time. How can Barack Obama be expected to offer her a ticket when she is still publicly unwilling to work with him cooperatively.

Her supporters commented last night stating that she needed some time to get over the fact that she did not win. That is like asking for a binky and a blanky for her! Come on, we are all adults here and I think that if her opponent would have been anyone else other than an African American male, she would not have divided the party in this manner. Senator Clinton, is it that you can not stand to loose, or that you can not stand to loose to an African-American?

It is sad that Senator Clinton has a closer relationship with the Republican nominee, than she does with the Democratic nominee. I was wondering if she had gone Republican and not told us. I almost thought that Mccain would offer her a ticket. Do we realize and see the situation that is before us right now? John Mccain stated that we did not give her the opportunity that she deserved....think about that. Would he have just rather run against Senator Clinton because he feels like she is a worthier opponent or because he can not stand up against the whirl wind atmosphere created by Senator Obama? America, not just African-Americans, are ready for change.

I am a 26 year old African-American mother, wife and student. I am ready for change! If not for me, then for my daughter's generation. I am tired of paying $4.00 a gallon for gas, high energy bills and falling below the middle-class status that I was raised within. I want a President that can face adversary and lead with power and not emotions. I want Senator Barack Obama to be my President and I will be working hard to campaign for him in my city.

I don't quite trust Barak Obama at this time. Perhaps I will at a later date. Right now I have to judge him by those whom he has associated, ie, racial militants. He did not sit in Jeremiah Wright's church for 20 years because he did not agree with him. He will not get us out of Iraq as soon as he says he is because we cannot allow the chaos that would result. I supported Hillary Clinton because I believed she would be the most effective in developing a workable health care plan for Americans. This is my main issue at this stage of my life. I'm still not sure what Barak stands for. At this time I will not vote for him but maybe he will change my mind before November.

I am a 44 year old Professional female from Tampa, Florida, up to this point I was never interested in politics, this year I have been up to date on everything, First of all I am very disappointed in HILLARY, I feel if she knew and really wanted and cared about "OUR" Democratic party she should have congratulated and she should of said she would be ending her compaign for Presidency and she would of gone out with dignity, I voted for her, I was very wrong, I had a gut feeling the whole time not to trust her, well you know about the time she and Chelsea where in harms way, I never thought a lie was changed to mistatements. they gave it a knew name, well like I said I had voted for her after last night I will never vote for any Clinton ever. I admire Obama for his gentlemenship towards her, I would have given and eloquent speach, but very firm and a little harsh for her words, I this Hillary is truing to BULLY her way into the White House, From now on she changed me forever, I will be voting for Obama, I hope other people who are not blinded by ignorance of having a female president just because there females, come on we know trully, honestly he had endured more than her a hundred times, but for respect to the United States I thing he never once brought the race card into the primaries, but now I am you know very well that those so called Americans out there that say they will vote for McCain/Bush for 4 more years means only one thing, they really did want Hillary, they just cant stand the fact the America has grown, intelectually and they dont want to vote for Obama, because he's black, they are racist, Hillary and Obamas views are so similar they is really no big difference, especially now that she wants to be VP, that right there shows, those people are not looking at issues, they are looking at color. and that is totally unacceptable at this time in American History. I will vote for Obama, all my family and friends and I will campaign here in my city, I know plenty of people, especially the hispanics that just needs someone like me to change there mind. Good Luck OBAMA, go out there and prove your the TOP MAN FOR President. I will do anything I need to in my end to ensure I get all those old hispanics that dont really know who they want. Keep your poise your the best mand.\\\Good Luck Mr. President\\\\

My family have been democrats since my grandparents.
We believe the DNC backed Obama early on and unduely influenced the elections. This is not democracy, it has left us disillusioned with the party under Dean. We and many of our friends will vote McCain as a protest vote against the un-American activities promoted by the DNC.

Congratulations to Barack Obama on winning the democratic presidential nomination.
Congratulatons to Hillary Clinton for becoming the first female to run so closely for the democratic presidential nomination. Now Hillary, do the right thing. Keep McBush from getting into the White House. Support Barack as he would have supported you if you had won. Let America see, this presidential is not based on a black man getting into the White House, but a man who wants to serve all people of all races and nationalities. Make this country a truly United States. Show your supporters you believe in the democratic party and you are not out to scorn of belittle Mr. Obama. Your negativity only proves that you are a phony, vindictive, evil person.
And for those Hillary supporters who would rather vote McCain than back Obama who shares the same views as Hillary, you are all sell outs for your country. This isn't about a white woman or a black man, it's about getting our country back. Vote on issues, not gender or color. You have a brain. Use it, don't be a pawn for someone else's grudge.

When Hillary won the Puerto Rico primary I could have sworn the air play of her speech on WMNF in Tampa went something like
"I have three words for you... Thank You PuertoRico"
Which is actually four words.
Oh well, perhaps she can still fix the economy.

I am from developing Asia. You guys don't know how oil prices are sky rocketing here and the chaos we are going through. Prices for all commodities and services have gone high is people are getting thinner without food to eat. As a human being we need food, shelter and clothes and we cannot fulfill our basic needs. But as Americans, regardless of democratic or repuplican goverments, your goverments will make sure that you have your basic needs, so you don't feel the pain being poor and don't feel the pain we are going through. You guys are selfish as Americans. Do you know you are the people who can make the difference in our world. We don't want deadly people to rule the world and make war everywhere. If you bring in Peace in Iraq and in the middleeast, we can expect oil prices to go down more than 50% and we have room to loosen our belts. Vote for someone who can bring in peace and have sympathy over poor countries. After increase of prices on all commodities and services by our goverment, people cannot afford anything other than food. So businesses have gone down big time and companies here are reducing salaries or firing people to decrease their expenditures. Can you imagine this chaos? Prices have doubled and salaries have gone down and we don't have money to survive. Your people are lucky to live in America. Please have some sympathy on us.

For Mommareenie: "And for those Hillary supporters who would rather vote McCain than back Obama who shares the same views as Hillary, you are all sell outs for your country. This isn't about a white woman or a black man, it's about getting our country back. Vote on issues, not gender or color".
All nominees have good ideas and make selling points stick by being a great speaker. That is all I have heard about Obama...he is a great speaker and has good ideas. If you back Obama and his ideas, yes they will be good (or sound good) to YOU. If you back McCain and his ideas they will be good for YOU. I am a liberal...as liberal as you can get. White, Black, Yellow, Green, Baptist, Catholic, Jewish...I don't care as long as they (Presidential nominees) can turn this country around. There are some ideas I trust and some I don't. But please don't criticize the American people for what they believe in, because deep down we all believe in the same thing, Peace. We are not sell outs, we just want to do what is right for our future and our families future.

TO HILLARY'S FOLLOWERS AND USA PUBLIC OPINION

The Obama's "coup d'etat" orchestrated by the media and allegedly funded by the oil and war industries in partnership with the international Zionism, has finally been consolidated.

Given this unfortunate event, that calls into question the integrity of the electoral process and the ethical behavior of traditional politicians; and in order to verify whether Obamas' electoral support came from the bases of the Democratic Party, from genuine republicans looking for change, or from a well disciplined herd of republicans with a mission; it is absolutely necessary, for Democracy's sake, to vote undecided on November elections. We will know then, that the undecided votes belong to Hillary, which will allow us to contrast her numbers with the numbers of the other candidates. With this information at hand, we will be able to "see" to what extent the cancer of corruption has metastasized in the Democratic Party.

I am sure that most, if not all, Hillary's supporters, including me, love our country dearly and have always voted Democrat. However, the lost of trust in the party triggered by Obama's "coup d'etat" and the impotence of not being able to do something to stop the perverse media campaign against Hillary, have produced on all of us such an anxiety that it requires a deep social catharsis to calm.

HILLARY WE LOVE YOU SO MUCH THAT YOU CAN STILL COUNT WITH OUR VOTE FOR THE NEXT ELECTION, PROVIDED YOU DO NOT ACCEPT OR SEEK A VP NOMINATION!!!

OreoBAMA (black outside, white inside) IS NOT THE RIGHT NOMINEE FOR THIS PARTICULAR ELECTION!!!

I was not born in America but I am a citizen originaly from India where we had one of our strongest Prime Ministers, a woman who you all know.

I watched Hillary's exit with my eyes full at the end.
What a remarkable speech coming out of a remarkable woman/person.

Borak Obama has won nomination on the race basis as he stole all African American votes from Mrs. Clinton, who was voters first choice till Mr. Obama showed up.
I might support Obama but half-heartedly.

CNN played a great part in her exit. Its a great success for CNN and media.

She is such an eliquent speaker. I love the hidden messages in there about her running again b/c she was the stronger candidate this time around. She took some gambles and it did not pay off, but she goes down with pride. I hope that in 4 years we can get over the sexist biases that kept her from winning this time.
