Remember the "school bully". He took lunch money, terrorized smaller kids and basically made school hell for many... well if you have travelled at all outside of the United States at all you would see from a different perspective... the US is viewed as the school bully by many... and rightly so. Iraq... is not our fight. It is something Bush did to hide the pure and simple fact that he could not get Osama Bin Laden. And now whoever takes office has to deal with this mess. It is a Civil War... what would we have done if France or England pulled the crap we are doing now when we had OUR CIVIL WAR?

She isn't "desparately behind."

That's ridiculous. It's one of the closest competitions for the nomination for either party in years

I know you're an Obama supporter, but you dont have to lie to pose a question

Bill u don't think that we don't belong in the middle east but your wrong thats right where we should be.If not u can rest asure that 9/11 will happen again. If we did not enter the middle east. it's better to keep the fighting over their thrn he plus we get to kill some them. Bill think Korea Nam Japan Germ,we went their to fight an all but Nam after the we were done we had a presence there an in some places for years, an were still in Korea. 30,000 troops We have to have a militry presence in the middle east cause of Iran, Lib Ser, I think we should not leave Irac but pull back have strong milt base. monitor whats going on . keep the intl going .But only after the region is stable ,but always keep troops threre we need them in the region just like Korea. Just in case someone should attack, us an they were from the middle east we could at fast.

Do you think it will be possible for Hillary Clinton to secure the Democratic nomination without fracturing the Democratic Party by fomenting a superdelegate coup or pushing to include Florida and Michigan results? Why hasn't the mainstream media narrative recognized that the race is over unless she takes such destructive steps? If she was so worried about the disenfranchisement of Michigan and Florida voters on principle, why did she only make this an issue after the fake elections were held and she was desperately behind?

True, John McCain is a War Hero (that is legitimate) but he is too OLD to be PRESIDENT. There is an age limit on Pilots why not the President.

Barney, if you are still observing, please draft some legislation that will place an age limit that a President can go into office. If you have to be at least 35 to get in there then you shouldn't be 75 or turning 75 while you are in a four year term, especially if it is a first for year term. Ginkoba!

What do mean - He responded- Blackwater sent 900 hundred men there the next day without being asked, out of the kindness of thier hearts- never mind that Blackwater was later paid $600 each per day for thier vollunteering!

he'd still be younger than Reagan... but I agree there's no denying that increased age is a cause for concern.

Americans Beware!
Is Senator Obama a wolf in sheeps clothing?
Reverend Wright is clearly a rasist, has been
for a long time, and Senator Obama is just
finding out? To further discredit the Senator,
he has stated, I am going to continue on with
my relationship with Reverend Wright! My
fellow Americans, Senator Obama is not what
he appears to be! He is most certainly not
of the high integrity and standards, we as
Americans require for our next President!
Americans, let's dump this bag of bullshit!

I think Bill said it, political correctness is like a drug to Americans.

All of these questions on separate topics about Obama add up to a bigger picture of judgement and patriotism.Why is it cool to not be patriotic? Why is Obama given sooo much latitude? No other candidate would be given the benefit of any doubt. Everyone is being so politically correct and want to be thought of as so liberal and cool, not the typical white,they are fucking themselves.
Bill ,who professes to abhor religion, is defending Obamas minister for "sounding off/venting". Anything goes when it comes to Obama. What has he promised you Bill?

Bill, why not just put your Obama button on, declare your show an Obama-bashing-free zone and be done with it?
