Senator Obama has thus far failed to answer key questions about his qualifications to meet the Commander-in-Chief test. The following are questions that Senator Obama should address:
Will you stand by your definitive commitment to removing all combat brigades from Iraq within 16 months, or will you, as your former advisor said, not rely on "some plan" you "crafted as a presidential candidate or as a US Senator?"
Do you regret that you have never held any substantive hearings on Afghanistan or any other subject, since you became chairman of the subcommittee on European Affairs in January 2007?
Do you agree with General McPeak that you are more qualified to be commander in chief because you don't "go on television and have crying fits?" Are you prepared to remove General McPeak from your campaign for what is viewed by many as a sexist comment?
Are you still willing to meet separately, without precondition, during the first year of an Obama administration, in Washington or anywhere else, with the leaders of Iran, Syria, Venezuela, Cuba and North Korea? Are there any circumstances in which you would not conduct such meetings?
As voters evaluate you as a potential Commander-in-Chief, do you think it's legitimate for people to be concerned that you have traveled to only one NATO country, on a brief stopover trip in 2005, and have never traveled to Latin America?
Earlier in the campaign you were asked how you would respond to a terrorist attack on two cities in the United States. You talked about the need for an effective emergency response but were initially unclear about the need for a military response. What do you think that says about your readiness to be Commander-in-Chief?
You publicly broadcast your willingness to attack Pakistan unilaterally, a statement which caused unrest in that country. Recognizing that we need to combat terrorism wherever it exists, do you wish you would have made your comments in a way that didn't cause unrest?
*** Hasn't he answered damn near all of these in the twenty debates time and time again***

You claim Bill spoke to you for throwing around ideas, then what purpose did Sandy Berger serve? What purpose is Sandy serving in your campign now.
I think we'd all like to know how such a tainted namesake was able to get elected as a NY senator so quickly.
Come, sit down, share, shed some tears if needed. Enlighten us on your 70 some trips aboard as first lady. Enlighten us on how you were fooled into thinking Iraq had weapons of mass destruction. Anyone for tea?
Wow. Thats new to me.
And then we have this, the crown jewel of her press release:
Uh.
I read this as, "When the NWO moves to its final phase, and we drop the bombs or the biologicals, you have agreed to martial law, but will you be ready to roll out the full scale war necessary to sustain such dictatorial control?"
On the flip side,
Alex Jones has two sources who are telling him one of the targets is going to be, in fact, Paris.
Which i just find kind of funny.
Paris?
BTW, i think people need to start asking themselves, even if there is no great evil plan, "at what point do i question the motives of a power structure that seeks to continualy direct war at entire nations on the grounds that their governments may or may not have directly sponsored the terror of a very small group of men."
In other words, assuming we do get attacked again, and the plot turns up 5-15 terrorists, is it even appropriate to hedge up new plans to wage war on an entire soverign country?
Who does this serve?
Does it make anyone safer?
Is it just?
:(
If I opened it now would you not understand?
What happen did the Ferraro message back fire? You don't even deserve people's trust. I don't care for Obama, but you show not respect for no respect for these States. I hope the governors get her promises in writing.
Barack Obama has a delegate lead that would require Senator Clinton to win 66% of the remaining delegates. While not impossible...it is close to it.
Barack Obama now has the popular vote lead (even if you include Senator Clinton's "wins" in Florida and Michigan). Right now Senator Clinton is trailing in the popular vote by around 700,000. She will not make that number up by the end of the primary cycle. With just over 10 elections to go, she has a lot of ground to make up.
Senator Clinton has won the big states of New York, New Jersey, and California. To assume that Senator Obama would not carry those states in November is juvenile to say the least. While she has won Ohio and has a good shot at winning Pennsyvania and Florida, with Barack Obama at the top of the ticket those states are still in play, and now include states like Mississippi, Alabama, and Georgia as possible new swing states.
It's time for her to stop doing the Republican's work for them. Time to to stop bringing race into the discussion and acting as if the Obama camp are the ones bringing it in. Time to stop saying that John McCain is a more experienced candidate than Barack Obama. Time to step down and do something for the very thing that got her where she is today---The Democratic Party

It is really ironic how a sepcific issue is raised in her direction (foreign policy experience or lack thereof), she does not answer it, and then counters by putting it back on Obama to defend himself.
Her MO is to attempt to keep him on the defensive.
Two words...lame duck.
Sinbad gives his version of that trip to Bosnia with Hillary Clinton and Sheryl Crow

This is hysterical. It's not quite the story of a potential Commander-in-Chief in action, which is Hillary Clinton's version. Mary Ann Akers, The Sleuth at the Washington Post, has an interview with Sinbad:
Sinbad, along with singer Sheryl Crow, was on that 1996 trip to Bosnia that Clinton has described as a harrowing international experience that makes her tested and ready to answer a 3 a.m. phone call at the White House on day one, a claim for which she's taking much grief on the campaign trail.
Harrowing? Not that Sinbad recalls. He just remembers it being a USO tour to buck up the troops amid a much worse situation than he had imagined between the Bosnians and Serbs.
In an interview with the Sleuth Monday, he said the "scariest" part of the trip was wondering where he'd eat next. "I think the only 'red-phone' moment was: 'Do we eat here or at the next place.'"
Clinton, during a late December campaign appearance in Iowa, described a hair-raising corkscrew landing in war-torn Bosnia, a trip she took with her then-teenage daughter, Chelsea. "They said there might be sniper fire," Clinton said.
Threat of bullets? Sinbad doesn't remember that, either.
"I never felt that I was in a dangerous position. I never felt being in a sense of peril, or 'Oh, God, I hope I'm going to be OK when I get out of this helicopter or when I get out of his tank.'"
In her Iowa stump speech, Clinton also said, "We used to say in the White House that if a place is too dangerous, too small or too poor, send the First Lady."
Say what? As Sinbad put it: "What kind of president would say, 'Hey, man, I can't go 'cause I might get shot so I'm going to send my wife...oh, and take a guitar player and a comedian with you.'"
And, send your fifteen year old daughter, too?
