No one expects a hard hitting interview from Extra. But even extra should be expected to have the on air personalities refer to the President of the United States by his title. Mario screwed up. He did not interview one of his pals in the Entertainment industry. He interviewed the leader of the free world, Extra should be denied that privilege if they can not recognize it.

Hi everyone. I hope that you don’t confuse me with a different Christine on the Extra comment page. I would like to say that Mario, you are doing an awesome job on Extra and you are the reason why I watch Extra more than ever now, believe it or not. And to anyone reading this, don’t type mean things about celebrities or Mario because you don’t know how their lives are really like or if all that magazine crap is even true and that Extra’s staff work real hard to get you entertainment so really don’t say rude things. I love you Mario and keep up the good work.

Mario you are a welcome breath of enthusiasm on Extra! You’re doing a great job in general and your interview with Obama was great. No one expects a serious interview on the issues for Extra - it’s not the subject of this show. You created just the right balance of some new questions for Obama and some fun. Two men with the best smiles!!

I LIKE MARIO AND EXTRA TV. I DON’T CARE WJP MARIO INTERVIEWS, IF HE HADN’T DONE THE INTERVIEW WITH OBAMA, YOU ALL WOULDN’T BE HERE POSTING YOUR COMMENTS. YOU GO MARIO!!!!!!!!!!!

Great job Mario!

I am a Democrat & I just voted McCain/Palin. As a matter of fact, I voted straight Republican. I figured if the Democratic party can place someone in a position to be elected President of these United States who is not only not qualified but has questionable ties, then I no longer wish to be associated with that party. I will be changing parties as soon as I am able.

Kitty….Mrs. McCain probably spends her own money on her clothes. But if not, it isn’t as if every other candidate does not dress themselves well for the campaign. And as for her clothes costing her as much as his salary as sen….don’t forget he also makes a lot of money from other ventures. Being a senator is not his only paying gig.

To Christine who posted on the 31st.

Do you really think Obama has the experience to be president right now? I sure don’t. He has as much at the most experience as Gov. Palin. So if she doesn’t have the experience to be VP who will learn for just in case,then he sure doesn’t have the experience to be president NOW.

Have you never seen this riddle.

Who Am I?

I am under 45 years old,
I love the outdoors,
I hunt and fish,
I am a Republican reformer,
I have taken on the Republican Party establishment,
I have many children,
I have a spot on the national ticket as vice-president with less than two
years in the governor’s office.

It is NOT Gov. Palin and it was someone who became president and is often lauded as one of the greatest.

In other words…experience or lack there of does not always make or break the ability of a VP or President.

Mario-

I used to be a fan. I have watched you on tv since the early days of “Saved By The Bell,” but I have to say your Obama fluff piece on Extra was just TOO much. The way you behaved was downright embarassing for a television host. Celebrities should not share their political views. I seriously had to turn the show off. Obama may be a great speaker, and obviously won you over, but what are his views? Why won’t he conduct interviews with REAL media? I will never watch you or EXTRA ever again.

Least ms. “garcia” isn’t biased or anything based on race?

uh huh.. You need much more education if you truly believe that Mario Lopez is anything near a journalist. lol

The interview was useful information . Go Mario.

When Mario asked what he personally could do to bring about change, Obama should have said, “Drop out of show business.”

I had to go on here and watch this interview after The Daily Show made fun of it. I couldn’t stop laughing.

Mario Lopez has to be among the biggest idiots on earth.

Some further information gathering-

Question: What U.S. governor is routinely briefed on highly classified military issues, homeland security, and
counter terrorism?

Answer: Governor Sarah Palin, Alaska

Question: What U.S. governor has a higher classified security rating than either candidate of the Democrat Party?

Answer: Governor Sarah Palin, Alaska

According to the Washington Post, she first met with McCain in February, but nobody ever found out. This is a woman used to keeping secrets. She can be entrusted with our national security, because she already is.

Now you know too, please, pass it on!

Hey Dorothy- how about voting for this?

Remember when your mom & dad taught you that you are judged by who you are associated with…. Take heed all of you Obama voters

Who is this Man with Obama?

By FREE US posted Feb. 01, 2008 04:51 a.m.

That is Raila Odinga. Who is Odinga? Odinga is Obama’s cousin. Odinga and Obama are from the same Kenyan Luo tribe. Odinga supporters are the people that are burning christians alive, trapped inside churches … most of Odinga’s fanatical followers are radical Islamists who have pushed for Islamic Sharia Law, total banning of other religions and closing of co-ed schools, night clubs and ‘public dressing style considered immoral’. Odinga was educated in Former Soviet controlled East Germany and maintains a strong loyalty to the vision of his ‘Educators’ and has allied with Islamist in order to gain their political support.

In 2006 Obama took a trip to Kenya and voiced his support for his fellow tribesman and political ally, Odinga.

Obama also directly attacked the sitting Kenyan leadership (Kibaki) calling them ‘corrupt’ (Kenya is one of the most stable places in Africa).

Odinga is the cat that ran on the socialist democrat ticket in Kenya and lost to sitting president Kibaki.

It’s not getting reported in the media that the looting and burning of businesses in Kisumu was targeted to both Kikuyus and Kenyan Indians. The economy of Kenya is controlled by these two groups because they are Entrepreneurial. But Kenyan Indians rarely get involved in Kenyan politics, they do not vote by choice, yet the Luos in Kisumu do not like them, that’s why their stores were getting burnt too.
Tribe of 540,000 Kikuyu, rivals of the Luo for Power, All but Vanishes From Kenyan City ethnically cleansed and massacred by Odinga’s butchers.

Yet Obama interrupted his New Hampshire campaigning to speak by phone with Odinga, his cousin. He did not speak with Kenyan President Mwai Kibaki.

Odinga has now made a deal for support with Muslim fundamentalists… A photograph copy of a Memorandum of Understanding, dated and signed on August 29, 2007, between Raila Odinga and Shiekh Abdullah Abdi, chairman of the National Muslim Leaders Forum of Kenya…

Here is a summary on the agreement which was signed:

* It pledges the support of Kenyan Moslems for Raila’s election. In return, as President of Kenya, Raila agrees to 14 actions, listed a) through n) on page two.

* Within 6 months re-write the Constitution of Kenya to recognize Shariah as the only true law sanctioned by the Holy Quran for Muslim declared regions.

* Within one year facilitate the establishment of a Shariah court in every Kenyan divisional headquarters. [Note: everywhere in Kenya, not just in “Muslim declared regions.”]

* “Popularize Islam, the only true religion… by ordering every primary school in Kenya in the regions to conduct daily Madrassa classes.”
* “Impose a total ban on open-air gospel crusades by worshippers of the cross…”
* “Outlaw gospel programs… on KBC, the National Broadcaster.”
* “Impose a total ban on the public consumption of alcoholic beverages…”
* “Impose an immediate ban on women’s public dressing styles that are considered immoral and offensive to the Muslim faith…”

Raila Odinga has, in his own words, a “close personal friendship” with Barrack Hussein Obama Junior. When Obama went to Kenya in August of 2006, he was hosted by Raila and spoke in praise of him at rallies in Nairobi… Obama’s bias for his fellow Luo was so blatant that a Kenya government spokesman denounced Obama during his visit as Raila’s “stooge.”
In the recent elections in Kenya, violence broke out as Raila lost the elections:

This past weekend, women and children — entire families — were burned alive as a crowd of Kenyans torched a church where they had gathered to protect themselves.

The cause of the violence was Odinga’s inflammatory comments about the election:

When Raila Odinga lost the presidential election last week (12/27) to Mwai Kibaki, he claimed the vote was rigged, whereupon his tribal followers went on murderous rampages such as in the town of Eldoret, where on New Years Day dozens of people were burned to death in a church set on fire… Throughout Kenya, hundreds of people have been politically murdered in the last few days.

At first a million man march was planned but Obama put in some frantic 11th hour calls to his cousin to call that off, since it would reflect badly on his campaign at home, (he is locked in a battle with Hillary and it was the day of the N.H. primary), to have the media filled with images of angry Blacks rioting over a diputed election result. Odinga agreed to hold off, but now he is getting impatient. The agreement is probably to try to give Obama enough time to get his own candidacy flowing smoothly among Democrats before unleashing the violence.

But Odinga can only hold off for so long, since he faces likely criminal charges over the organized slaughter of Kikuyu by his (and Obama’s) Luo tribesmen.

Odinga who is challenging the current Kenyan President Kubaki. It was established by references to an article in Time Magazine that Obama has a ‘very close friendship’ with Odinga. There are links in Wikipedia which show that Odinga has initiated coups in the past, been accused of corruption and is an all-round troublemaker. What’s worse, it became clear that Odinga’s supporters were killing and burning property on a rampage across Kenya to support Odinga’s bid to take over Kubaki’s presidency. However, now further, more shocking details have come out:

There appears to be growing evidence that the violence in Kenya was organized in advance, perhaps with Obama’s knowledge.

Bishop Cornelius Korir of Eldoret confirms the killings were organized and planned. It is believed Odinga and his ODM Pentagon members had planned it all, long before elections, and especially William Ruto the MP for Eldoret North (the burning of women and children in a church).

He is tearing through the country using murder and rape as his weapons of choice. Justice Minister Martha Karua tsaid Odinga’s group (Orange Democratic Movement has planned to carry out systematic ethnic cleansing.This is a dangerous man in what has up until now been a pretty stable country on an unstable continent.

His ‘opposition party’ is opposed to democracy and free elections. Refusing to accept the result of the national election, Odinga will break the country, beat, “cleanse” rape until this depraved savage gets the power. Raila Odinga rejected a presidential invitation for talks.

The left wing media has been played by brilliantly by Odinga - this is part of his strategy.

Obama’s older brother still lives in Kenya. Abongo “Roy” Obama is a Luo activist and a militant Muslim who argues that the black man must “liberate himself from the poisoning influences of European culture.” He urges his younger brother, Barack Hussein Obama to embrace his ‘African’ heritage.

The way Barack Obama describes his oldest half-brother in his book, Abongo (Roy) Obama inherited their father’s hard-drinking ways but straightened his life out by embracing Islam and his African heritage.

Abongo Obama began using his Luo tribal first name and had sworn off pork, smoking and drinking by the time of his younger brother’s 1992 wedding.

“Abongo’s new lifestyle has left him lean and clear-eyed, and at the wedding, he looked so dignified in his black African gown with white trim and matching cap that some of our guests mistook him for my father,” Obama wrote in Dreams From My Father.

Barrack Obama wrote about his brother. “But the magic of his laughter remains…..”

As for his Cousin Odinga: Obama’s tacit support for this ruthless leader of the insurgent rebellion in Kenya is shaping up to be the 800 lb gorilla in the Obama ‘08 campaign.

In the latest development in the deepening ties between Obama’s pal Odinga (ODM party) and the Islamists. “Obama’s “cousin” the ruthless violent Raila Odinga now nominates the radical Sheikh he signed MOU with as a Member of Parliament (MP) ODM has presented six names to the Electoral Commission of Kenya for nomination as MPs. This will in effect raise their numbers in the House to 105. The proposed nominees include Sheikh Ahmed Dor, the cleric who spearheaded the MoU between ODM presidential candidate Raila Odinga and some Muslim leaders.”

The Media presents Odinga and his supporters in such a way that they look like angels even as they kill people.

Obama’s Pal uses “Rape as a Weapon”
More brutal and gory details of the man Obama unequivocally supports. Obama is so busted. This is more than bad judgment, this is scary. Odinga’s has nefarious Arab ties and his hand in the ongoing violence that has all of Kenya in its barbaric clutches. Inconceivable horror. Gang rapings, murders and that’s just the tip of the iceberg.

Obama has backed Odinga unequivocally going so far as telling big media (out of TIME Magazine’s Joe Klein here),

Obama has had near-daily conversations with the U.S. Ambassador in Kenya or with opposition leader Raila Odinga.

Obama BACKS THIS MONSTER ODINGA UNEQUIVOCALLY? How on earth does he justify this?

All this points to a very different Obama than the Obama we see and hear in the media. Rather than being the new JFK he is the smiling face of the terror that is now sweeping Kenya. Are these the DREAMS FROM HIS FATHER that he has in store for America?

I’m so sick of the ( Republicans ) John Mccain all he wants to do is make the rich, richer and the poor, poorer, you never here about the poor and the help we will get,
As for Sarah Palin she is a laughing joke, ( she is a Gold digger and out for her self ) remember when she said she will be in the White House to help the ( Downsyndrome children ) Quote help her son ..

there not geting my VOTE

Obama is the best candidate to ever run for President
