Grammys: Barack Obama beats (Bill) Clinton

It will be a pleasant change to have an intellectual president. Hopefully democrat
super delegates will be intelligent enough to nominate
Barack.

I will not ever vote for this man. It has everything to do with his voting record and his lack of knowledge. I am suprised to hear from any supporter of his, their reasoning for voting for him. He clearly has some personal issues that America can not deal with right now. We have a President that did on the job training not to mention had some drug or alcohol abuse in his past. I do not want to do that again.

Reading "The Audacity of Hope" convinced me that Senator Obama is the superior candidate for President. He is a man of great intellectual capacity, integrity and vision - with tons of charisma to boot. A once in a generation leader.

Dear Friends and Readers at Chicago_Tribune:

I have been voting since 1976 and I can't ever remember an election year as exciting as this one.

I love Barack Obama and pray for his success everyday as we are heading into the most important presidential election in the 231-year history of this great country.

Senator Clinton’s husband, President Bill Clinton, often likes to assure people and the press, that, “The American People are pretty smart and they usually get it right when it comes to politics and
elections.” I am strongly in support of Barack Obama, but I have to believe that the successes we are seeing with his popularity in the polls is due to President Clinton’s statement: The American People are in fact, getting it right. They actually want Barack Obama to lead this country as its 44th president.

Besides, if you just immerse yourself in the two best selling books that Obama wrote himself (i.e. no ghostwriter), you will not only understand how talented the man is and how he thinks, you may start to realize that he is definitely the most talented and best qualified candidate running, in either party. I spent Christmas of 2005 reading Dreams from My Father, and Christmas of 2006 reading the Audacity of Hope, so I know. Those books and Barack Obama's speeches helped clinch it for me. I want this great man to lead America from 2009 - 2016.

Every fiber of my being confirms that this country would be blessed to have Barack Obama elected as our 44th President in 2008. Barack Obama will help this country remember once again why we are a great country, and help lead us to the place where will once again respect and care about each other. And he will help regain the respect and trust of other nations on the world stage. I hope we all live to see Barack Obama sworn in as President on January 20, 2009.

So the Leftnuts at the Grammy's found ANOTHER Dem politician to give an award to????

Another reason to vote against Obama.

Bush never admitted (prior to the election) that he had any issues with alcohol or drugs. Obama did. The failures of Bush as President had little to do with what he did in his earlier life. Those were all brushed aside because he had become "born again". Casual use, or experimentation with drugs and/or alcohol is not abuse, mostly it is the equivalent of a rite of passage. Holding candidates to unrealistic standards only encourages attacks by unprincipled supporters of one side or the other in their attempts to defame candidates. I truly do not look forward to the mudslinging that is sure to happen in the coming months.

Finally, on the job training occurs with every President. No prior work experience can qualify one for all of the responsibilities that a President will assume. The major issue is not experience as much as it is character and critical thinking that leads to rational decision-making. The conservative wing of the Republican party was so driven to take over control of this country they would have pushed someone with a demonstrated lack of success in virtually every aspect of their life whom they could sell based on a political name - and that is exactly what they did.

sam, forget about the drugs and alcohol, they are red herrings. Instead, listen to what the candidates themselves are saying, then make up your mind.

Barack "Hussein" Obama's [yes] vote in the Illionis Senate to not allow medical treatment for failed [late term] abortions was more difficult to accept, as Sen. Dick (turban) Durbin's calling our American soldiers the same as The Nazi's!

Who is the Nazi now....?

Who voted (yes) to not allow medical treatment for a living human being?

Barack "Hussein" Obama did...the man with the snake-liked silver tongue.

Be Afraid!

So Bill came in 2nd place, who was 3rd...Dennis Kucinich? Think a conservative figure could ever win a grammy? These awards show how biased and shallow the left are.

Sounds like OBAM should forget being President and continue writing books. I would say he is better at that than he will be running this great country.
I haven't read any of his books and I wont vote for him either. If he gets the nomination, for the first time in 50 years I will not vote.

Obama beats Bill Clinton for a grammy, WOW! what a prestiges award. Obama must be delighted to have won this magnificent token.
This is much like the Nobel Peace Prize which is given to person favorable to a particular party or idea not for any real achievement.

by posting baracks middle name do you honestly think that will cause people not to vote for him. you people are incredible!
if his middle name was mahatma would that be better for you to digest?

Considering the leftward tilt of Grammy voters, Obama got the award only because Fidel Castro wasn't on the ballot.

if his middle name was mahatma would that be better for you to digest?

Absolutely without a doubt no it would not. The reason of course is because mahatma has brown skin just like Obama. These postings highlighting his middle name are nothing more than the work of cowardly racists. You don't think you're a coward Paulo? Tell us where you live.

MAYBE THE RIGHTIES NEVER WIN THE GRAMMY DUE THEIR LACK OF COMPASSION, NOT TO MENTION CHILDISH WHINING WHEN THEY DON'T WIN.

That's it! I've had it with this rag! First I can't find out how the Baltimore Orioles will deal with their depleted farm system as a result of their recent flurry of trades when I read the Chicago Tribune, now everytime I open up this paper, the Chicago Tribune, I have to flip thru articles about an Illinois Senator running for President. Why does the Chicago Tribune waste so much time and space on an Illinois Senator? I'm not wasting my time anymore.

The Illinois senator is in a virtually tied race for the Democratic presidential monation with a New York senator. We write about them both. Try the Baltimore sports pages for your other interest.

Sam, you need to get your facts straight. There is a huge difference between voting to not use state funds to pay for any medical procedure and not allowing the procedure itself. Prejudice can trump how you interpret what you read. Favoring that Illinois children have universal coverage for medical care paid for by Illinois government funds is a huge plus. At no time has the Illinois legislature voted to not allow any form of medical treatment that is otherwise legal. If you think the citizens of illinois should pay for complications of abortions, please tell us why.

Thanks, Sharon, for shedding light on that particular vote. So many people distort facts to push their views on the unknowledgeable, and it's great fun watching them be exposed.

YAY! for blogger "Sharon Sandell" for setting the record straight (addressed to "Sam") It scares me to know so many bloggers have such narrow minds!! If they are the ones going to the polls, we are all in trouble!!!!
