CNN’s Roland Martin Interviews Hillary
By SusanUnPC on April 5, 2008 at 11:21 AM in Barack Obama, Civil Rights, Hillary Clinton, Martin Luther King, Race, Rev. James Meeks
We hit CNN’s Roland Martin, and CNN, hard on March 26th in Fleaflicker’s story, “Why Doesn’t CNN’s Roland Martin Get Axed like Carville and Begala Did?” We pointed out that Martin appears to be “a professional apologist for and supporter of Barack Obama,” and that he gives short shrift to Hillary Clinton’s qualities and candidacy.
We pointed out, in Fleaflicker’s story, that he “is also a friend and close associate of Obama’s national Co-Chairman, Jesse Jackson Jr. and he attends the Salem Baptist Church of Reverend James Meeks, another of Barack Obama’s spiritual advisors.” (We hoped that CNN and Roland Martin would take note of our concerns. That was the point of the story.)
We are pleased to find this YouTube of CNN’s Roland Martin interviewing Hillary Clinton yesterday in Memphis, following her speech:
In this wide-ranging interview, CNN’s Roland Martin asks Hillary Clinton about the legacy of Martin Luther King, the inequalities that impoverished youths face to this day, the national discussion about race, and more.
Thank you, Mr. Martin, for a fair and balanced interview.
We also look forward to fair and balanced commentary on CNN.

Love the last sentence Susan. Not holding my breath though.
Hillary is just AWESOME in this interview.
Nice that Roland made the point that the Republican talk show hosts weren’t in Memphis. A shame he didn’t point out that Obama wasn’t there too. So much for fair and balanced.
Hillary hit it out of the park with her Voting Rights Act comment.
Game. Set. Match.
Agreed - she made voting rights ALL inclusive and hit a home run with 3 RBI’s!
Was it just me, or did Martin constantly try and insert just Black talking points - separatism instead of inclusivity?
Me, I loved her handling of public school and affordability for college questions. She’s our gal!
I don’t know much about his other interviews. But this one was quite good, and he asked very good questions.
Hillary is simply wonderful here. What I admire about her most is that her answers always come from deep inside her heart and guts. And she has the brains, smarts, and work ethics to go with it.
Obama did not have to be there. When are white people going to get it. Obama has the African-American vote, Hilliary and McCain do not. Black people are not fooled by there appearance, we know that it was fake fake fake!!!!!!!
Excellent. Hillary shows her commentment to the African American Community by offering solutions and showing up to address issues. Where are the other canidates? Once again, Action speaks louder than words.
Hillary once again shows a command of the issues!
Add my voice to the question- Where were the other candidates????
McCain showed up, was even pictured at the location where Dr. King was shot. He weathered both the weather and the boos of the crowd for fighting against a memorial day for Dr. King. In an amazing show of forgiveness many standing there opened up to him with “we all make mistakes”.
Wow! for those of us who have boycotted the TV, we miss a lot of good stuff too. This interview was one such. How can anybody second guess her commitment, dedication and pure grit in trying to do the right thing? The ease with which she says it all concisely and beautifully. Awesome!
We will become the laughingstock not just in front of GoP but internationally too if we don’t resolve MI and FL BEFORE a nominee is picked. It would have reflected the woes of a sexist society to the entire world where a certain vocal faction treated the first woman presidential candidate with disrespect and did everything to bring her down. What does it say about us?
She does have some great priorities. There is no reason inner city black communities need to be no-investment zones. That’s just the prejudice of the lending communities. She’ll locate new green government invested business into our neediest communities, and back small business investments so locals can reach the American dream without having to leave their neighborhoods. Social ties are solid, family ties are solid, but to ‘make’ it those ties must be broken? Hillary doesn’t think so.
She is so good in all her interviews, never once have I seen her stutter or seems to be taken off guard her answers always flow fluently,that is a the mark of a person that knows what it is all about, now how in heavens name can anyone watching this woman ever say she will not be good for America.
Not sure if anybody noticed but Roland Martin, or somebody calling himself Roland Martin, left one of the last comments at Fleaflicker’s previous post, describing the post as “fiction”.
The person masquerading as Martin did indeed make that claim but as most know I research and source my stories. And if it really was Martin, well I honestly don’t care. I didn’t make anything up.
You do an excellent job with ALL of your diaries, Flea. Thank you.
When it comes to fiction, Martin speaks it every day. He is a major reason I don’t tune in to CNN any longer and never will. Except for Dobbs.
This was a token interview because CNN knows a lot of people are sick of their News-Sex with Obama. I don’t buy it. It’s not enough to get me to tune in on the chance I might see that miserable pig Cafferty wincing again like he has gas. I won’t even get into Wolf. I didn’t like him before all of this. But I tolerated his annoying cadence. I’m gone from CNN forever.
That’s why I listen to the BBC, which presents better stories about our own country, albeit delivered with crisp British accents. Mainstream American journalism is hopelessly fixxed on issues of personality and thus mired in celebrity-mongering tabloidism, whereas the British appear to actually take pains to separate the wheat from the chaff and ensure that the story itself is the primary focus for the listener, and not the journalist(s) covering it.
Once again this woman shows why she has garnered so much support. She is smart, informed, and able to answer any “issues” question put to her. Every time I hear her speak I am finding myself respecting her more. And good for Roland Martin that he kept his preferences to himself and did an honest interview.
We as women were proud when we finally got a woman as Speaker of the House. But unfortunately we got Pelosi. With Hillary as the first woman president we would not have to look in sorrow at a failure to deliver the goods.
Susan,
Since you mentioned the anniversary do you know what the Obama campaign was using the anniversary for?
Would you believe they were asking for money in a e-mail that talked about the anniversary of MLKs assassination?
I can’t do links in the comment so I put the link as my url.
Can you provide a link to the whole email Michelle sent out or just copy and paste it here?
Hover your mouse over my name. I put the link to the swamp politics entry as my home link.
The video from this email, which I find more offensive than the contribution plea, is also posted at http://ruralvotes.com/thefield/?p=975 where a bunch of Obamabots are leaving messages of how inspiring the video is. Here’s the comment that I left:
Susan , I am computer challanged, but got this email, would you like me to forward it to you and you can post it?
Never mind I did it, the subject to the email is “Yes they can”
Today is the 40th anniversary of the tragic assassination of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., and I want to share a video that reveals how far we’ve come and how much this campaign owes to Dr. King’s legacy.
Students at a high school in the Bronx, who had no real interest in their government, have found new hope. They were surprised by their own excitement and engagement, but to me, they embody so many reasons why Barack and I decided to get into this campaign.
It’s truly moving to see young people inspired by a political leader — someone who gives them hope and reminds them that they can be anything they want to be if they work hard.
Watch what these kids have to say about politics and race in this country:
http://my.barackobama.com/yestheycan
Much has changed in this country since Dr. King’s death, and thanks to his life and work we have taken critical strides towards racial equality.
The simple fact that Barack is running a competitive campaign for President is a direct result of Dr. King’s legacy — and this movement for change would be impossible without the support of people of all races, ages, and backgrounds.
I remember back in December of 2006, a group of us were discussing the possibility of Barack running for President. And as you might have read, I was hesitant about the idea.
But then Barack started talking about why he really wanted to do this — to bring people together and to change the tone of the way we talk to each other in this country. He talked about the need for people to be inspired by their leaders, and the importance of leadership to chart a different course. He talked about Dr. King and Bobby Kennedy, and their passion to challenge a new generation and provide them with role models.
Barack promised that as a candidate and as President he would do everything he could to bring new people to the table. He shared his desire to reach out to our neglected inner cities, to strive to be a role model for young people, and to connect with people who are not involved in politics — those who feel their voices haven’t been heard, those who have been left behind, and those who have been turned off by all the petty bickering in recent years.
We can change that, by standing on the shoulders of folks like Dr. King who came before us.
Watching these students who are excited about their own role in politics for the first time, and watching Barack as he strives to live up to the challenges Dr. King made possible, I am truly touched.
I hope you’ll watch this video and share that feeling with your friends and family:
http://my.barackobama.com/yestheycan
Thank you,
Michelle Obama
I like this sentence, well they certainly managed to do that.
“then Barack started talking about why he really wanted to do this — to bring people together and to change the tone of the way we talk to each other in this country”
I wish I could highlight change the tone ect. before Barack the tone was much nicer once again “change” doesn’t mean for the better
Send money and make me proud of America.
…said the spider to the fly.
She was fabulous. She always is. But don’t worry. Roland will massage this material for months to come.
I wonder why he hasn’t interviewed Barry and asked him why he didn’t attend. Was he there and did I miss this? Or maybe he could ask him why he wanted to send Michelle O’Angry in his place to the State of the Black Union. It would be fun to count how many times Obama says “uuhhhhhhh” “ahhhhhhh”. So eloquent he is when he doesn’t have a mem’rized chant to use in front of a controlled crowd. I can’t believe the disrespect he shows to the very voters who have rallied behind a man who has done little for them–in place of a woman with a stellar Human Rights record. Very sad all the way around.
But for the Fix, this race should have been a No Contest. Hillary is far and away better at simply everything than Obama is, unless you include peeing standing up.
“I wonder why he hasn’t interviewed Barry and asked him why he didn’t attend. Was he there and did I miss this? Or maybe he could ask him why he wanted to send Michelle O’Angry in his place to the State of the Black Union.”
Wasn’t that, like, two months ago? You Hill-bots still haven’t gotten over the fact that your silly counter-productive race baiting in SC meant she NEEDED to burn an entire day with certified nutcake Tavis Smiley, while Obama was campaiging in Texas and Ohio?
See, this is how it works: words matter! (Had to throw that in!) If Hillary had kept her mouth shut and conrolled Bill better, she would NOT have pissed away a 75/25 lead among Black voters. But, no! She had to go there and now she is playing catch up with Black voters — all because of her condescending claptrap about MLK and BC’s “Jesse Jackson” bullshit.
I know you Hill-bots like to say “Obama was playing the race card” and all that. But when conservative GOPer pundits are asking “What the hell does she think she is doing?”, that should have been a clue that your “strategy” was fatally flawed. If there is on thing that will characterize the Hillary campaign for posterity, it is the lack of introspection — the refusal to stop digging when you have dug yourself a hole.
You folks truly don’t understand why you are losing! You look for excuses every where, except you never consider how your own decision making played into these outcomes. Too bad . . . maybe she will figure it out by 2016. She will only be 68 then and can always run. After all, 68 is the new 58!
I am sure the AA community in New Orleans participating will be delightd to hear this comment from an Obama supporter; may I say Obama agrees with you?
Ah, one more questions what are your adjectives from
Re. Jackson and Mayor Nutter? Please let me know
before we go to print in New Orleans with Obama’s
new message of unity.
No answer. I guess it’s a wrap. Hit it, Andy.
Well now that it’s over, I guess that makes it ok.
“I remember back in December of 2006, a group of us were discussing the possibility of Barack running for President. And as you might have read, I was hesitant about the idea.”
WHo is a “group of us” ?
I’m just thinking what I would do in her place during this interview. Smacking him in the face, comes to mind…
I was wishing she would kick him so as to change his voice tone!
Terrific interview….I too love the way her answers flow so freely…She sure knows her subject matter and always, always, does such a great job.
What a beautiful mind this woman has….and…..she uses it….Thanks for sharing the tape…I had not seen this previously…
We love you Hillary..
Great interview. I really like the idea of a cabinet level position to deal with poverty and all related issues. The name John Edwards jumps to mind immediately. I really want Hillary to win but I kind of hope that Obama copies this idea like he has been known to do. Just in case.
I love to listen to Hillary answer real policy questions. She can speak so eloquently and really gets to the heart of the matter as long as she’s allowed to talk. She’s not just sound bites and smiles.
I appreciate Roland allowing her to speak. Enjoyed it.
Gosh, what a leader we have in HRC, here you have someone who is not only thinking and expressing marvelously on her feet but also able to make a deep analysis of what are the realities and how to deal with them effectively. She has thought these issues through seriously. She is simply incredible. I’m really proud
of her.
Did you notice the anchor (who is he?) saying
“Great stuff” Hard not to be impressed…
That was a great interview. Hillary was brilliant, as she always is. The complete lack of “ummms,” “uhhhhs,” and “ahhhs” was a relief. Truly great speakers don’t need a TelePrompter to do their thinking for them.
Nice softballs! Good that she could hit them.
By the way — the reason Obama is not there is HE does not have to make amends for minimizing Dr. King’s contribution to the civil rights movement and highlighting the contributions of the White president. That was some other candidate that did that . . . .
ha ha ha keep dreaming zzzzzz
Obama seems to not want to be associted with certain AA idenitifiers.
Malcolm X, for instance, is hip with the kids, a hip hop intellect, hip with Farrakhan,he’s good for the Obama brand, black man dangerous.
I get the feeling Obama and his crew, if they even understand, see King as a liberal, boomer anachronism, not edgy enough.
But the Obamas aren’t really interested in social progress, or even governing, they’re just selling product, Obama our next hip hop President, Bush being the first.
And that Madison Ave product, brand Obama, should do very in neogotiations with Putin, and his new boytoy, Dmitri, over NATO membership, and US missle shields.
Right?
I mean, it doesn’t matter anyway, someone else can handle the problems, we don’t need a President, it’s only a figure head, why look at Bush…
associated, sorry.
Whatever . . . SCOREBOARD!
See, its funny to hear White liberals like Hillary talk about how much they CARE and how the “other side” doesn’t. (Reminds me of all the conservatives who claim the Dems are the real racist party.) But guess what? You Hill-bots may think you are so enlightened and so DOWN with Black people, but Black voters are running past Hillary to vote for Obama.
Just as with conservatives who don’t understand why Blacks vote Dem, you Hill-bots don’t seem to understand why Blacks reject your candidate. It is simple: just as with the cons, you showed your true colors!
Just as the GOP always seems to feel the need to pander to the red necks in their midst, Hillary, Ed Rendell, and Gerry Ferraro did the exact same f*cking thing. So on the Hillary side you have them playing the “Muslim” card, claiming Obama “may have” been a drug dealer, etc.
This is what she and her campaign did. So why in the heck would any self-respecting Black person vote for her and reward her for that behavior?
Do you people even understand what you have done? Do you? Stop reading Taylor Marsh’s unhinged b.s. about Obama playing the race card and ask yourself — why are Black voters, young voters (the post-racial, hip hop loving generation) and the most educated voters ALL rejecting her?
Ask youself why Al Gore, who has known her longer and better than any of us ever will, has not endorsed her. Ask why Bill Richardson, assuming he did say “Obama can’t win” STILL refused to endorse her. Ask why the majority of the Dem Senators, the ones who have spent the last eight years working with her — have NOT endorsed her. Red State elected Dems — reject her! Think Hill-bots, THINK!
Whatever
Hey Pal, I don’t know what your qualificatioins and education are but mine are at the very top (if you tell me yours I’ll tell you mine; but just a hint, think highest IvyLeague degree).
Because I think I am a proud supporter of HRC.
Your rant above is so superficial and lacking meaningful content that a “diagonal read” is enough to discard it as junk: the most damage to the party has been done by people like you. And a historical comparison will prove it beyond reasonable doubt.
Go back to where the level of discourse is closer to yours, the home of Markos M where you can read and be with “your constructive” kind…
Don’t waste your breath Andy. Conversing with Obama trolls gets your mind all dirty. Not worth the effort.
You are right kenoshaMarge; this guy is really a waste.
Andy, your intelligence is showing… :;
This whole meme from BO’s camp about the “intelligentsia” going for BO is such an urban ledgend…and has it’s roots in a whole generation of k-12’s not being taught critical thinking skills. If they had, the MSM would not be so insidious and Obama supporters such an easy mark.
I don’t fault any one for their “passion” but the inability to question one’s (emotionally held) position seems to invalidate the self esteem of Obama supporters.
I have discovered that if you ask someone who is a supporter “why” more than three times..the response is a stubborn “because”.
Absolutely, I couldn’t agree with you more.
Andy, for a fellow Ivy Leaguer, you sure did a bad job selecting a candidate.
I also note that you did not (indeed, cannot) refute what I wrote. Let’s face facts: yours is the favored candidate of octogenarians, low level party hacks, and unreconstructed ‘necks. Mine is the candidate of the young, the educated, independents, Bill Richardson, and the brothas. I like my coalition better than you must like yours. Indeed, I hear very little positive coming from you HCDEs (Hillary Clinton Dead Enders). Losing must suck . . . .
Oh yeah, I can but I choose not to waste my time with you. Your intellect doesn’t seem worth it.
I and the people around em are all pretty young thank you. Seems you expect to die before becoming an “octogenarians”; better pray for it.
I’ll remember to keep your comments in mind when I enter the voting booth in November, if in fact Obama is our nominee.
Hey B-Rob…
This very influencial and well-respected black man doesn’t seem all too “impressed” with YOUR candidate. Too bad St. Obama didn’t get one of these, eh?
Did Barack “disrespect” King’s memory because he was behaving as a petulant brat or was he concerned that he might not be perceived as an AUTHENTIC advocate for King’s cause?
The King/Johnson comment didn’t minimize Dr. King; rather, it was a compliment to just how effective he was, that he and his movement pushed a president - a white, Southern president at that - to enact the reforms they were calling for.
Clinton isn’t running to be Dr. King, she is running for the position Johnson held. She promised to do what King made Johnson do - listen to the cries in the black community for social and economic justice and use the power at a president’s disposal to bring it about.
I’m really tired of Obama supporters pushing that lie.
“The King/Johnson comment didn’t minimize Dr. King; rather, it was a compliment to just how effective he was, that he and his movement pushed a president - a white, Southern president at that - to enact the reforms they were calling for.”
There is an old Irish saying: If ten people tell you you’re drunk, sit down.
I doubt if anyone except Clinton dead enders who actually believe that. Not GOPers, not independents and certainly not Black voters. And I see you did not even try to spin Bill Clinton’s “Jesse Jackson” comment. Comparing an Ivy League educated US Senator to a jack-leg preacher who never got elected to anything — just because both are Black . . . how f*cking insulting!
HC had a 75/25 lead among Black voters UNTIL she said that. Why do YOU think they abandoned her?
“I’m really tired of Obama supporters pushing that lie.
It’s not a lie and you are in denial. See, you probably don’t know how her comments and BC’s comments came off. Well I just told you. You can accept it or not. But if you have any curiosity, check out some Black blogs. You will find one thing: there are as many Blacks voting for Obama as those voting against Hillary. She blew it with Black voters. The sooner you grasp that, the better chance she will have to regroup and build bridges to run again in 2016.
Is this Obama’s line? I’ll forward your comment to Jesse Jackson. I am sure the whole AA community will appreciate it as well.
Bill Clinton has done more for blacks than Barack Obama ever thought about.
If AAs don’t support Hillary Clinton, they deserve what they get.
Do you live in a year round warm climate Robber Baron?
Those Chicago winters were freezing cold for Obama’s constituents who went without heat.
Obama’s campaign was responsible for the lovely race baiting lies you’re still telling here. Jeez.
That was some other candidate that did that . . . .
That’s a riot,B-Rob
It goes right over your head, how far back Obama has set race relations in this country, it’s not even funny.
A good excuse as any not to pay homage and show respect at the event,I guess. But then Barack Obama only respects Barack Obama anyhow. He fancies himself Bobby Kennedy when he’s not accepting the crown of Baby Jesus. I was here when Bobby Kennedy was here. He’s no Bobby Kennedy. Not by a lonnnnnnng shot.
Sure beats NO BALLs like the ones Obama tossed.
I thought you said his wife keeps them in the closet?!
So much for male role models in young Barry’s life. Speaking of which….
This was a good interview, but CNN came through again last night on “Anderson 360″ with David Gergen. He was ridiculing Hillary’s poverty czar announcement inferring that she used the King address for political reasons in order to pander to John Edwards. According to him, she should have used this opportunity to put the Rev Wright issue to rest as this would have done so much to help the race issue. Since when is it Hillary’s responsibility to try and make it right for Obama when he was the one who sat in the church for 20 years. This is about as absurd as anything I have heard in this campaign. I don’t know if you call this racism, sexism or what, but I do know it is crazy. What candidate has ever gone on record to fix another candidate’s problems? Help me if I don’t understand something here.
I enjoyed this post…you put it well.
I don’t know if you call this racism, sexism or what, but I do know it is crazy. LOL!
B-Rob–”the reason Obama is not there is HE does not have to make amends…”
wow, is that the only reason to attend a MLK tribute? Can you think of no other reason to do so?
Do you think that possibly, just maybe, Senator Clinton chose to honor MLK like she has so many times on so many other similar occasions, because MLK really did mean something profound to her life and she genuinely believes in the cause of civil rights and spent most of her adult life working on those causes?
So Obama didn’t have to show up, cause he didn’t piss off black people, and ya know, cause he is black…do you have any idea how incredibly childish (a nice way to say stupid + immature) you sound?
It is a shame that the Obama has no real commitment to issues that effect the black community. It is apparent he works only to get himself elected to the next higher office. Look at his Chicago district. Look at all the Rezko buildings in that area and then tell me about Obama’s “change”. WTF has he ever done?
When will you finally ask that simple question? WTF has he ever done for anybody?
Blah blah blah . . .
You know the problem, right? True character comes out when the chips are down. When the chips were down for Hillary, she cried and then played the race card . . . sweet!
THAT is the reason she is at the MLK celebration: because she HAD TO BE. Just as she HAD T0O BE at Tavis Smiley’s fiasco in New Orleans. She had amends to make and she knows it. But guess what? It won’t work.
I know and work with (and have clients who are) Black professionals. Old college friends, clients, prospective clients — they all agree on one thing — they will not vote for Hillary. Why? Because she showed her true colors.
See, this is how it works. If you are a white liberal and you come at Black professionals from a position of entitlement, you will alienate them. They have had to deal all their lives with Whites who ASSUME that they are entitled to the best jobs, the admissions to the best schools, etc. So when you see an Ivy League educated Black man who out works, out smarts, and beats a White woman, then her husband compares him to . . . Jesse f*cking Jackson? Are you KIDDING ME? Then she turns around a couple weeks later, having lost 12 or 14 straight contests and “offers” him the number two position . . . behind her losing a$$? Again . . . are you KIDDING me? It is the condescension, the entitlement mentality, and the arrogance of Hillary Clinton that just amazes me.
Hillary, despite trailing in popular vote, delegates, and states won, may somehow get the nomination. But she will never be president because no self-respecting Black person will vote for her and without the base supporting her, she has not shot in hell. Can you say “President McCain”? I can . . . .
Blah blah blah
It’s more appropriate to say bleat bleat bleat.
What a sheep.
Stampede over the cliff with the American hating Obambas!
It’s more appropriate to say bleat bleat bleat.
What a sheep.
Stampede over the cliff with the American hating Obamas!
Blah blah blah…. what a bunch of BS.
I was just wondering what her excuse was for all the other years in which she attended and participated in MLK events. She must have just known up ahead hey? When was the last one that which Barry attended? Was there a FIRST one that Barrry attended?
you are sad, sorry little man and I for one am glad I won’t have to be standing in the voting line next to you. I feel sorry for your clients as well. But Obama deserves you and all who think like you. good bye.
hi troll, yes, i can say president mccain. and that’s what i will be saying, gladly, if your guy obama is the dem nominee. bye troll.
cdo,
Welcome to our home space.
As for B-Rob, we try not to feed the trolls cuz it makes them fat and they just hang around.
However if you choose, that’s A-OK too!
I am always impressed when I hear Clinton speak because she is so knowledgeable and has actual plans to make change happen. So many people are acting like her cabinet level poverty person is pandering to Edwards. Well, she has always cared about people having opportunities, and John Edwards wanted to have an impact on this campaign and it’s democratic leaders, she has taken up his challenge, but wouldn’t have done so if it didn’t already comport with her priorities. As Democrats we should be very pleased to have her dedicated to our cause.
Don’t forget the Nuclear Titanium that has flowed into Chicago’s drinking water for 10 years.
Obaqma? Well he just rushed to put in a bill to HELP the poor nuclear industry and ended up watering the bill down so much, the nuclear industry was embarassed and had it killed.
B Rob — blah blah right back at you.
The video was good. It actaully cheered me up a little today. Today is the 5th anniversary of my mother and sister passing away.
The interview was good, the best part.. The Obama supporter had to get the interview. Karma can be good.
I always wondered why Roland gave up his bass-fishin’ program. Seems like drownin’ baot for the cameras would be a lot more fun than talking to politicians, but, What Do I Know?
R-Bob here LOL at you: you aren’t my fellow pal. You are in a different league altogether; at best in the
same as GW Bush; but from your writings I doubt you are even at that level…
“Ask youself why Al Gore, who has known her longer and better than any of us ever will, has not endorsed her. Ask why Bill Richardson, assuming he did say “Obama can’t win” STILL refused to endorse her. Ask why the majority of the Dem Senators, the ones who have spent the last eight years working with her — have NOT endorsed her. Red State elected Dems”
Ask yourself why:
With momentum on Obama’s side
With the fund-raising advantage on Obama’s side
With the media on Obama’s side
With the Dem elite on Obama’s side
And, with all of these impressive endorsements on Obama’s side
According to national polls – Obama’s only up by 5%
Yep, if he is so great, how come he hasn’t closed the deal. This has got to be making a lot of the superdelegates super nervous.
If you ask me BO has done more to divide the party than unite it.
If he can’t even unite the dem party, how the heck is he going to do as a prez? Bwhahhhhaaa
She hit on some of Edwards points about ending poverty and pushing economic justice, too…
Good job, Hillary! She speaks SO WELL, so in command of the issues…as opposed the way Obama tries to answer questions…very roundabout and not into specifics…
Hillary Nails it on Education after Speech about Dr. King…
by D. Cupples| I was impressed, not only by Hillary Clinton’s demonstrably solid grasp of our nation’s education situation (read, crisis), but also by CNN’s having stuck with substantive issues when interviewing Sen. Clinton. It’s so refreshing, gi…
I think it was a good interview. But to say that Roland was asking her about black questions is not fair. I have seen far worst conservative right wingers from Fox news and MSNBC talk over their guess, cut them down and talk about another candidate far worst!!
