This is great. Nunn and Boren are incredibly smart guys with great credentials. They will boost Obama on defense and intelligence issues and hopefully serve in his Administration.

Wow, those are those heavy-hitting endorsements. Nunn and Boren are two of the top experts when it comes to foreign policy. Looks like Obama is continuing the cull the best advisors in the race. I don't think McCain has anyone of similar stature supporting him.

Those are some great endorsements for Senator Obama, both individuals have expertise in foreign policy, something the Bush administration thinks is a foreign language. This administration does't have a clue, as to, what to do, over in the Middle East.
That is why, an 83 year young , American citizen and former President, is over there meeting with the leadership of Hamas, an organization that some might call, Freedom Fighters!! President Carter should be given the Nobel Prize for Peace with his humanitarian efforts, to stop the blood-letting in the Middle East. The failure of the present administration in addressing this tragic problem, borders on negligence, but what do they care, as long as they can scare America into passing more bills to finance the debacle in Iraq!!
SUPPORT OUR TROOPS, BRING THEM HOME, ALIVE. NOW.

Obama's superior abilities to lead again attract the best to government. This is the best type of experience and the real change we need.

The Pope could endorse Obama and it wouldn't make any difference. The majority of Americans see the reality of Obama as a smug, smirking con man and Trojan horse for hate in America. He will be defeated.

These two guys are still hugely influential within the Democratic Party, within the realm of international relations, etc.

These endorsements are pretty big. They'll be playing critical roles during the transition to an Obama Presidency.

That makes three endorsements and five super - delegates for Obama in the last two days.

It looks like that pathetic debate where Clinton White House press flunkie, George Stephanopolis tried to knee cap Obama for his former boss, Bill, has backfired on Team Billary.

Clinton proved to everyone who watched the debate that she's nothing more than a Turncoat Joe Lieberman Republican wannabe pretending to be a Democrat.

Great for Foreign Policy cred! Oh!...They used to call Sinn Fein a "terrorist organization", too....we can't pretend People don't exist.

Very significant endorsements. If Obama wins, his security team will have two of the best advisers a President could hope for.

Hillary is nothing but trouble for the Democratic party. When will the rest of the superdels stand up and say "Hey! Enough is enough"?

People like Sam Nunn and David Boren are those whose insights and experiences are going equip Obama regime to be one of the best in the history of America. It is so sad, sad that the media, especially the recent debate, is treating Americans as kids. Focusing on Hollywood's type of theatrical debates. Very sad. This debate was a forum meant for Clinton to use her old, outdated tactics against Obama.

Can anyone remember the last important person to endorse Clinton? I'd like to know how many endorsements Clinton has picked up since Feb. 5th.

Mid-June... If Hillary lets it go that far.

Have some patience... it's a long campaign and there's a LOT of time before the General.

The Superdelegates are coming home to roost!

Or words to that effect...

To Don Fitzgerald,

President Carter has already won the Nobel Peace Prize in 2002, for efforts just like this one.

The excellence and caliber of the endorsements Obama is attracting speak to the desire of American people for fundamental political change, as well, as the potential leadership ability of Obama to deliver the desired change. The next step will be for the American people to come to the realization that government and the state do have a role to play in bringing about a just and perfect Union. The American working men and women have paid too high a cost in believing and supporting the idea that the state is an obstacle to individual creativity and achievement. The greatest achievement of modernity has been the raise of the rational liberal democratic state – among its achievements can be listed, the right of workers to organize and protect their interest, prohibition against child labour, democratic rights and freedom (including gender and racial justice), and citizenship entitlements in times of crisis. To relegate and marginalize the state is to attack these fundamental of democratic achievements. The challenge for government is not how to reduce the role of the state in society, but how to make the state relevant in the quest of citizens to realize their potential. If Obama can facilitate this shift in the weltanschuung of the American people he will go down in history as a great president the likes of Roosevelt and Lincoln.

This says a lot Nunn and Boren that they would support a candidate the goes around flipping off other US Senators. They have as much class as obama. Let's see how many other super deligates have the same outlook on someone in the political arena that goes around flipping his middle finger in the air, with a smirk on his face. That smirk tells me it was no innocent hand signal.

I feel exactly the same. The media, with its complete and total obsession with dirt, finger pointing and dumb down reporting is the biggest failure of this, or any other campaign I have ever witnessed, and I am 65 years old. The superficial dirt they dish up (lapel pins, the Rev. Wright etc. ad naseum) would lead any outside observer to believe that the country had little if any problems at all. The country is on the brink and our media gossips!

The reporters, editors and owners of the media in this country need to be taken back out behind the barn and get a good whooping. They all should be ashamed of themselves and the disservice they are perpetrating on our country.

How can they possibly go home and look their family in the face??

Better yet Don Fitz, why not give Jimmy Carter a prime-time speech at the convention. I mean he deserves it.

It wont make a difference in how or if he gets elected. Most people don't know who that are. If they put BONO or Chuck Norris it might make a difference. But this means nothing in getting elected.

Let's look at David Boren's record. After being elected three times to the U.S. Senate, in 1994, for reasons never disclosed to his constituents, he resigned with two years remaining on his third term and took the far less prestigious position as president of the University of Oklahoma.

Boren has been trying to work his way back to Washington ever since. In January 2008 he was hosting his silly "bipartisan forum" and wasting OU resources to promote a Bloomberg independent candidacy. Boren was hoping that he would be Bloomberg's running mate, but this fantasy did not materialize. For 2004 Boren was promoting conservative Joe Lieberman, but now his game is liberal Obama. After Lieberman dropped out he used $100,000 in public funds to host Giuliani at OU. At the time, the rumor was circulating that Bush was going to dump Cheney and pick up Giuliani. Boren was hoping for a Cabinet appointment. For 2000, there was a Reform Party Committee to Draft Boren. Boren was quietly cooperating with them. Boren flip-flops back and forth. The fact is that he is loyal to no one except himself.

Boren is also the mentor and sponsor of George Tenet. He is high in the world of espionage and the CIA. They are experts at infiltration, disruption, and sabotage. Boren is a close friend of the Bush family and a member of Skull and Bones. One possible motive for his joining the Obama campaign would be to sabotage it.
