Some of the comments here are utterly ridiculous. Barack Obama is a decent, true man. Something we have not seen in decades. It is time to change the political landscape and rid ourselves of "politics as usual." We need Obama to help this country. After 8 years of Bush and a war that has cost 3 trillion dollars, we need someone to come in and try to fix the situation.
Obama is that man.
Hi Ellen
I am convinced that Obama will be the next President of these "United States of America", and I want to stress UNITED !!!
I have been a republican all my voting life, which is quite a few years, but I have never felt the hope and confidence that I feel when I listen to him.
I am in Ohio and I have felt the job crunch first hand and I can only feel that Barack truly cares about us.
I just love you Ellen..
All I want to know is.. Who is the better dancer, Barack or Hillary.. I love both of them, but I have to choose Barack over Hillary.. I can't wait to see a new face, new issues, and new views in the white house. This is 2008 and times have changed from old faces, old issues, and old views. Its like my parents trying to tell me what to do when making a car payment or better yet, choosing me a car I don't like because they do. Go Obama Yes We Can
I have always loved Ellen, but now love is an understatement. She is smart to not just support Hillary because they are both white women, but is open to who will be a great candidate for the democratic party and the United States in general.
Moreover, some of the comments about Obama's name and invalid Christian faith really need to pull into together. What is the saying, "your slip is showing..."
I've done a lot of research and read a lot of others' research on both candidates. I made my decision based on real data, as well as my knowledge of the Clintons from having voted for them twice before. I say, "them" because Bill Clinton, in his 1992 run for the Presidency said, "You'll get Two for One".
Well, that's scary to me. We impeached him for lying directly to our face. That's not a good character reference for someone in the White House. I detest liars. But even more scary than a liar, is the dozens of unexplained bodies that trail behind this couple. That's my real problem with the Clintons. Deaths. It really just comes down to that. Too many "coincendential" deaths have happened around them, both in Arkansas AND in D.C.
Truth telling, I have found, is the key to responsible citizenship. The thousands of criminals I have seen in 40 years of law enforcement have had one thing in common: every single one was a liar." -- J. Edgar Hoover
Will we ever know what lies they told in connection with the murders of Vincent Foster and over 100 other associates, staff, and "friends"? What about his underworld connections stretching back to the Dixie Mafia days in Hot Springs; his roles in the Waco massacre, the Oklahoma City bomb, or the crash of TWA 800, Valujet, the Ron Brown crash, William Colby's drowning, the Atlanta Bomb, the Saudi Bomb, the church burnings and all the rest? What about the dozens of other women who have testified against Mr. Clinton and the far more serious offenses in narcotics trafficking, collusion with China in unAmerican activities, and about more than a thousand missing FBI files and the Travel Office firings, not to mention Whitewater and illegal fundraising? Why would anyone believe this admitted liar about his promises about health care, Internet censorship, the Brady bill, saving Social Security, or global warming? These were all promises during the 1992 campaign and I can't see a difference from then to now.
I am very upset that talk show hosts are trying to influence people how to vote. I expected it of Oprah, but am dismayed to see Ellen has joined in. I think no one has the right more than the soldiers fighting over in Iraq to decide if they want to come home or not. When polled, they think they are making a difference. It will be another Vietnam sending a message that we are ashamed of our soldiers. If you really believe Obama is going to pull the troops out right away, can I sell you some swamp land? What about the people over there that have given alot up to help the Americans? Do you really believe they will be allowed to live if we leave them with no defense? If you want higher gas prices, then leave Iraq and let the terrorists take control of the oil fields.
On another note, do we really know this man? No, I don't think so. I would feel better if there was more background on him, especially why did he become a muslim? What were the reasons or are there any? Why until he decided to run for President, have we not heard about him? Other than being a good speaker, why are you voting for him? Is that all it takes to win you over, someone who can talk the socks off of you? We need to be very careful who we elect this year. This will set the tone of our nation for a very long time to come. This is not something to do on a whim or because you want "change". You best know what kind of "change" you want and make sure the right guy does indeed carry that "change" out or we will be in worse shape than we have ever been in.
What is wrong with these people that think a 2 yr. Senator is good enough, or has had the experience to be President against Governors and people of Hillary's experience? He could be the anti-Christ for all we know!!!
We KNOW that the people that are in power now are war criminals, ignore the Constitution, ignore any requests by Congress to appear,testify or
have any oversight on their conduct and should be in jail. People that have done far less ARE IN JAIL NOW!!!!
The Clintons were investigated, for you people that don't remember or know, by Ken Starr, for years, spending millions of our tax dollars and they found ZILCH!!! So, what could they do to remove Clinton? They got him for lying about having a girl in his office (that I personally
think they planted since she told everyone she knew before she went what she planned on doing)!
Hillary is the only one that knows these criminals and how to deal with them. Our best years have been with Democrats and Hillary has been thru the mill, but is smart and our best hope.
Dear Bonnie Beckaman (who posted a comment at 4:56pm 2/28/08),
Your comment posted earlier was scatter-brained to say the least. You are no one to place judgment, not to mention “shame.” Ellen was voicing her opinion on her show. She is allowed to do that. I know you mentioned that you have come to love Ellen and her show. Well then you should still love it if you had taken a liking for the right reasons. Ellen expresses her opinion every day on her show in the form of jokes, catch phrases, and we all know her dancing. She has a free spirit and a good heart, and you should not be so narrow minded and insecure as to take offense to her endorsing Sen. Obama. Now I will tell you that I am an Obama supporter, but take heart. If your opinion of a good political candidate is important to you, then it doesn’t matter if some one shares a different opinion.
I am so impressed with Sen. Barack Obama. His candor and policy are like a fresh breeze blowing through a stale state of politics and divisional thinking. We are "one nation under God" and with Barack's leadership we can finally come together, love each other for the individual qualities that we have, and make positive change on our communities and ultimately, our world. God bless the Obama family and God bless us all!
I am very pro Obama. I hear all this non sense about how he isn't a christian, does drugs, and now has a gay lover? For you who believe these rumors, you are ill-educated, try reasearching before you make false allegations. Obama is the man, and he can dance! haha
For those who are voting for Hillary, have you thought about what our foreign countries will say and think? I believe that if Hillary is elected President all of our middle-east countries are going to lose respect and dignity in our country. I'm happy to see that our country can finally accept a woman into office, but with the war in Iraq and our foreign trade and policies its just not the right time for a woman to be in office.
I am so ashamed of eLLEN!I have always love and respected her but I will NEVER watch this program again! She out of all people ought to know how much harm and or good media can cause. I am not for or against Obama at this point but I be damn I am sick of people on shows much as hers that in a way but not direct make it known whom their for. It really hasn't been that long since she "Ellen" had to prove herself. It is a major responsiblility to have a forum that can
influance people. Shame in her. If u can not speak of issues that mean something, don't attempt to make him popular asking him to dance "as he did".NOT Impressed w/u nor him. Actually, Very scared. Tired of people making light of a very serious situation. If she's trying to prove a point? well prove it or keep the jokes out of it!!I loved Ellen more than anyone but no more...God Bless us ALL...
hey joahalee...
I've got your Barak on that great idea..I'll Barak in a moment if I think of more....
I'm Barak....how bout this one ....
BARAK THE VOTE!!!!!
Someone said when Bill Clinton was in the whitehouse other countries liked the US. True, Bill was very charismatic.
Obama has that same charisma.
For the first time ever people in my country are watching these American primary elections with interest. Why? Because the US is so influential we'd like to see someone inspirational to us all in charge. Obama inspires.
Does nobody ever read bios, research these candidates? This Obama person lied about being a Christian, in fact, he has not practiced that since he was a child, refuses to Pledge the American flag!!! With an Iraqi war going on, this is letting the fox in the henhouse!!!!
I am embarrassed and appalled, extremely fearful for a country that votes on looks and a snow job bigger than Adolf Hitler!!! PLEASE READ THIS MAN'S NAME, HIS ACTUAL BELIEFS ALOUD, DO NOT BE FOOLED BY SMILES AND PROMISES!! Who is funding this man's campaign? A vote for this person is handing our freedom and country to the very countries that hate us, have sent their terrorists to kill us! Has everybody forgotton The world trade center, the bombings, the infiltrations, our lost freedom to come and go on our continent because of this religious hatred of America????
Money for this person's campaign is being hidden from "some source", maybe a company, but how did an unknown all of a sudden, raise these multi-million dollar funds? If it sounds too good to be true, it ALWAYS IS!!! WAS I THE ONLY PERSON THAT SAW HIM REFUSE TO SALUTE OUR FLAG, TO HAVE ANYTHING TO DO WITH AMERICAN VALUES???????
Please do not sell our country to foreign factions; listen not to empty words, telling us what we want to hear from this person, but look and listen to the facts, personal values.
We dodged the bullet with Hitler, shame on us if we allow history to repeat itself...
I have to disagree with the poster I read that said she couldnt believe people would vote for either Hilary or Obama that she couldnt believe we'd fall for that..Her version of America voted for Alfred E Newman! Her version believes the lies that we know are are absolutely fact to be untrue. We NEVER EVER should have started a war..NO WMDS!!!Its an awful shame her husband had to go to war for a liar..I pray for us all..but I really pray for the soldiers and their families whom I have nothing but respect for..Its the head liar I have the problem with ..not the unfortunate people who must suffer because of people who have vested interest in this region of the world..
Hey Johalee....
got your Barak on that good idea...I'll
and I'll Barak back in a moment if I can think of any more...
Well, I have to disagree with all this ridiculous nonsense that Hilary Clinton and Obama are such a great people ....!!! I'm a military wife and I'm so sick of this about pulling the troops out, you have no idea what is going on over their!!!!!!!! Bush has done a great job , everyone is just jealous and always be!!! Mccain would be a excellent President!!!!!!!!! What kind of name is OBAMA.. I can't believe how ignorant people really are that they see through this crap!!!!!!! GO MCCAIN !!! THE NEXT PRESIDENT!!!!
Hillary has my vote! Not only would she be an incredible leader but as an ambassador, her husband would be able to bring back the hard-earned respect we had from other countries before and during his presidency. [That,of course, has all been lost in the past 7yrs.] I don't think Obama has the capabilities to do that and his wife would certainly not be an asset to this country since the only time SHE has been proud to be an American is when there was a chance that an African American could be elected. Personally, I'll be a proud American no matter what the outcome is.. [If G.W. couldn't take my pride away NO ONE can!]

I think it'd be ideal if it's a Clinton-Obama ticket for 2008 election. Allow Obama to increase his experiences, especially in foreign policy.
Bringing changes in this country is good, but it'd be better to clean up the mess first and then do so. And I think Hillary will be better cleaning up the mess left by the Bush adminstration.
Imagine you or your loved ones are very ill, would you go to a doctor who just graduated from med school but gives you a lot of promises of bringing you the best health you'll ever have in life and tells you a lot of words that you'd love to here OR pick a doctor that you don't really like but has the experiences.
I honestly think it's better for Hillary to fix the crucial problems first, and then Obama takes over and makes the country better.
Especially if he wants to promote a drastic change to this country from what Bush leaves behind, all his supporters are just putting his safety in danger when there are so many radicals out there. After Hillary, things might have calmed down a bit.. and safer for Obama to take over.
For the sake of this country and Obama.. it's better to vote for him LATER..
