This is a prime example...
of how actions speak louder than words. Clinton obviously thinks Ferraro's commentary is not only acceptable, but beneficial, as shown by her allowing her to stick around on her campaign. Ferraro and hillary are a shame to the democratic party, as are about 50% of the other republicrats.

Oh, and let me add, our dear hillary, the one who sent us to this war based on lies and who will not get us out of the war as she deceptively claims (She has shown what kind of judgement she possesses), has only gotten as far as she has because she is a woman. If she was a man, she couldn’t be an ex-spouse of a president, as we don’t allow gay marriage in this ‘free’ country. And I don’t think we can deny that she is where she is because of Bill, at least she has certainly used him to propel her to where she is. She wouldn’t be able to claim her 8 years as first lady as political experience as she does and wouldn’t have the clout of an ex-president pushing for her election (or one might say his re-election) as passionately as he does if she wasn’t a woman. Bill and her have already spent eight years in the white house, but because we have not closed the loophole, they, without a little pride, are taking advantage. I’d love to see a woman in the White House but not one who already spent two terms there, not one that is mean-spirited, not one who lies and exaggerates, and not one who has proven she would have very poor judgement as commander-in-chief.

If the democrats don’t send them packing, the rest of the country will in the general election, as the repugnicans will be out in full force against her, and a lot of people see through her and know she is not much different than mccain. Many of us will just go third party before we vote for more war in the middle east. Perhaps how this will all play out is she’ll pull some sleazy trick with the Florida and Michigan, win the primary, then lose the general election due to the repugnicans out in full force and the formation of a strong, liberal party. That would be a good thing, as we liberals have very little representation in this ‘two-party’ one party system.

Ferraro’s comments are not only very bigoted and inaccurate, but hypocrital, as it is quite apparent that hillary has used her position as a woman to take advantage of a loophole in our term limits law. Truly disgusting. Good day!

The irony is that Gerry was an actual Affirmative Action candidate in 1984 and her committee assignments were also part of that program, presided over by Tip himself. Those were indeed different times.

There is much I like about Hillary Clinton but I've about had it with the baiting, sleaze, Irish peace and 3 A.M. and attempts to change the rules in the middle of the sixth inning that has come to c0onstitute her campaign.

Not firing Ferraro is the same as not admitting that the 2002 Iraq vote was a mistake.

Aaargh! Just another example of the depths the clinton campaign will stoop to trying to win the nomination. Rest assured if the Obama campaign had said anything so reprehensible, the clintons would have been hollering from the rooftops and crying foul. I hope the remaining voters will take a long, hard look and then vote to knock her out of the race. It's for sure she won't bow out gracefully! This country does not need hillary and her ilk in our government -- they are mean-spirited, will try to win at all costs, and are in the process of tearing our party apart. She must be shown the door.

The more I get to know Obama, the more I like him. The more I get to know Hillary, the less I like her.

Obama has shown unwaveringly that he has conducted his campaign with ethics and class. Hillary has shown that she is so obsessed with power and obtaining her "rightful" position as president that she will do anything, right or wrong, even if it means dividing the party and losing the election for the Democrats to McCain.

Hillary should have dismissed Ferrara for making such inappropriate and absurd comments about Obama. The fact is, whatever his race (and he's half white don't forget), he is brilliant, inspirational and our best chance to change the paradigm of Washington politics.

I was hoping for the dream ticket. Now, I'm not so sure Hillary should be on it.

I may be crazy, but I don't think Geraldine Ferraro should go back on her words. This is another case of the Emperor's Clothes. What she said is true - if Obama were white & at the same point in life & experience, he would not be as acceptable as a candidate. Although he is running a fabulous campaign, I liken it to MTV promotion, all style & no substance.
I remember when Ferraro was running what she had to put up with, including Barbara Bush referring to her as a name rhyming with witch. She talks from experience.
Let's get over it - every criticism against Obama is labeled racist, & I don't think this is the case.

Anyone thinking that Clinton will bow out gracefully is very naive. She will tear the party in two..wreck the country and do anything she can make up in her pea brain mind ..to WIN at any cost. When I talk with otherwise intelligent people and they are all for her canadacy.. I am stopped in my tracks. Obama is the hope of this country to start a new direction for us all...clinton is more of the same.. she is so entrenched in the DC as usual politics she could not find her way out with a flashlight. McCain is the same cut of cloth.. He is surrounded by lobbists who will want SOMETHING from him and don't you forget it. Two of them worked to sell the contract for the refuel tankers to a company outside of the United States and I hope THAT is one contract that can be STOPPED. Those blood sucking creatures never do anything for nothing Aren't we all tired of hypocrites...liars and thieves in government? Got rid of an arrogant class A liar today (Spitzer ) now if we could rid ourselves of some more maybe we could get the country back.

Geraldine Ferraro is leaving the Hillary Clinton campaign in the wake of a controversy regarding her remarks about Barack Obama

More to come!

In our home, we have until recently watched Keith Olbermann and enjoyed his commentaries; however, lately, he has shown himself to be another over-inflated sports commentator turned political commentator who has a healthy tendency toward being a blatant misogynist. He is absolutely incapable of reporting fairly about Clinton. He is so enamored by Obama, or the idea of Obama -- it is just repulsive to watch. I thought at one time that Chris Matthew was the sexist, misogynist -- now I consider them two peas in a pod.

Hillary said that she disagrees with the statement that Ferraro made.

But, I wonder what all the reaction is really about -- to me it seems staged, fake, and way over the top. If you honestly look at where Obama is -- in the lead in delegates, winner of at least four southern states. He has won these four southern states and their delegates because of high African American votes. In Mississippi, over 90% of the Black voters voted for Obama -- not a "normal" breakdown in voters, at all -- and in exit polls, those Black voters admitted that race was the most important factor in their voting for Obama. So, Obama won that state and its delegates, as he did with other southern states with high Black voter counts. So, if Black voters are voting for Obama because his race is the most important factor (because he is Black), isn't he in his present position of leading in delegate count because he is Black?

I have many Black friends and without an exception, each one of has been encouraged and pressured by friends, church, etc... to vote for Obama because he is Black. African-Americans seem to see this as their best chance ever of gaining the most important political office in the USA, and they are voting for him because he is Black.

Too bad women don't vote in such a single-minded SEXIST manner. If so, Hillary would be OVER THE TOP and on the ticket right now!

I think she just destroyed her chances of a vice presidential position in the Obama white house.
