Obama’s Shot at Clinton’s Shot

Richard -
The difference is this. When Barack took down a beer, it was casual. When Hillary did it, she made it out to be an epic event, with cameras surrounding her like she was about to swallow a sword.

Obama is so double standard, thats one reason why he will not be the Democratic nominee. His comments on small towns in America has created a HUGE gaffe in his campaign, along with him skirting the questions asked last night in the forum, his wife still “hating” America, and now the Rev. Wright has resurfaced to spread racism. I see Obama’s campaign imploding right now. Just with his elitist attitude, the Super Delegates are seeing that he is unelectable, and will support Clinton. You already see this with Jimmy Carter, who many thought he was going to go ahead and endorse Obama, now has decided to wait until the convention. He knows Obama is self destructing. Hillary is definitely the better candidate. Hillary 08 !

I wonder if Obama can expect the John Edwards endorsement ever in his lifetime now. ………….

I agree Decided. Both democrats need to get in touch with reality. They are promising the sun and the moon but as president neither can deliver. Last I checked the congress is the one who writes laws not the President.

Like he also forget his attempt at bowling, am sure everyone looking at that clip now knows he has never bowled a day in his life, maybe he now has an interest in the sport because it seems he did not do that for a photo op judging from his words.

It is a shame that people are still talking about Rev.Wright’s comments as if he is Obama’s running mate.How many people agree with every word their pastor says ? it is time too move on.

oh no he didn’t talk about drinking beer for the camera MR European Beer, Goat Cheese taster and Mr. Arugula.

F*ck John Edwards.
The question is: Why isn’t Obama talking about his life story more to challenge this elitist charge? His mother was on food stamps. His father left him when he was young and they were flat broke all his youth. He went to good schools on hard-earned scholarships. He and his wife were poor until recently. Why not highlight these things for Godsakes?

People must talk about Rev,Wright its not like he is not slamming the press or whites. Just yesterday he was at it again so what do you expect Wright will say what he wants and no one should respond?
For a bunch of people that have so much hate for America exactly what are they doing here? Wright is retired if he hates America so much well he can alway migrate to another place, and take Obama with him.
They all hate this place but yet they are hanging on to this terrible living amazing.

Hyprocrisy at its most shameless level…..didn’t Obama, a politican, also brought camera crews to a bar in PA a few weeks back and down a beer? Was that also his weak attempt as saying that he can relate to the working class folks? the only difference between him and HIllary is that HIllary did not go to some rich folks and mocked the working class behind closed doors after shaking their hands asking for support. Obama = Hyprocrite!

Obama is communicating a clear understanding to what needs to be done as a President, to restore peoples trust in future.
Contrary, Hillary looks her life as series of battles. Fighting battle after battle!

Obama just does not get it, it’s not the bitter part, it’s the clinging to guns and religion etc part. It is as if he’s looking down on small towns that he’s having trouble connecting to and calling them gun toting, God loving signle minded bigots. Now he can attack Sen Clinton all he wants to try to take the media off him but he still needs to explain himself. People do not turn to God because they’re bitter, they embrace the message and word of Christ and their religion, was he bitter when he decided to join his church?

Once again Obama thinks he is so smart that he can just talk about anything to distract from the fact that he is out of touch with the rest of America! This effort to talk about Hillary and guns as a distraction from what he said you got to do better than that, I guess life for Obama was really hard growing up in Hawaii were most people spend there life time wanting to go there. It’s like he had it so hard, give me a break, how many people grow up in Hawaii and have it so bad that they go on to receive there PHD I feel so sorry for Obama. I grew up in a single parent home and I never did drugs, but I have been threw hard times and I can relate to the people in PA. I always depend on God to get me threw life. Who does Obama depend on or should I say what does he cling to you know since he had it so bad that he chose to try drugs? Oh I almost forgot that was just bad judgment when he was going threw bad times! Bottom line up front you made a mistake by talking down to people tell them your sorry and move on!

It is the anti-NAFTA and anti-trade position that he touted to the rural voters in Ohio and PA that Mr. Obama revealed that was not not quite for in his remarks to the SF left-wingers. This man is as deceptive, if not more, as Mrs. Clinton. Of course, we are stuck with one of these two. Who would want more of Bush administration.
My greatest fear is not that the candidates want to personally benefit from the power of the Oval office but does one have a secret agenda favoring other countries, that have engaged in terror, and governments in other continents, which have been held by near-autocratic regimes even after foreign occupation was long gone.
This is the ultimate choice that we may have to face.

THERE IS A DIFFERENCE!
Clinton’s questioning of Obama’s true feelings about rural America is indeed a question that needs to be asked.
What did Obama do? As usual, he resorts to mudslinging and completely ignores the charge.
He’s good at fluffing away his weaknesses. He’s also good at avoiding the issues. He preaches hope but never delivers.

McCain would rather Hillary Clinton were the nominee? And we’re supposed to pick Hillary because of that?? This is all getting too bizarre for words.

The Media has no intention of placing Obama in a bad light. He referred to Hillary Clinton as Annie Oakly during a rally. Now I dont find this upsetting, but If Clinton referred to OBama as – let’s say the Lone Ranger – the US Media would have it on ever cover, news station.

Obama will give us another landmark speech about “BITTER SMALL-TOWN AMERICANS” — just like he gave us all that B.S. in his “RACE RELATIONS SPEECH” but, like Jeremiah Wright and his “God Damn America” rant — this one will not go away!
How many times will he restate his comments until he gets it “just right?” Come on! Obama’s elitist feelings are shining all around and come out when he doesn’t have a script.
Wake up America before it’s too late!

Lovely Hillary.
You have done an excellent job at causing a huge fight between the supporters and dragging in the Repugs too.
Wow what a woman.
Look, Hillary is not a candidate that can unify or accomplish anything.
She is a destroyer.
With her at the helm of the democratic party I’d lean Nader.
Its Obama or I don’t vote democrat.
Obama we know what you mean by bitter. I’m bitter, bitter that this horrible monster of a candidate Hillary Clinton can treat the democratic process this way.

“You know, he [Bush] wants to divide us over race. I’m from the South. I understand this. This quota deal they’re gonna pull in the next election is the same old scam they’ve been pulling on us for decade after decade after decade. When their economic policies fail, when the country’s coming apart rather than coming together, what do they do? They find the most economically insecure white men and scare the living daylights out of them. They know if they can keep us looking at each other across a racial divide, if I can look at Bobby Rush and think, Bobby wants my job, my promotion, then neither of us can look at George Bush and say, ‘What happened to everybody’s job? What happened to everybody’s income? What … have … you … done … to … our … country?’”
Quote by Bill Clinton
Sept. 1991
The LA Times
The Clintons are hypocrites. They will say anything when it’s convenient. They will do anything to win including sell out the American public. By Wednesday, this will be old news. New news, Bill Clinton supporting oppression of Tibetan people by Working for Chinese Government. Obama is being supported by small town mayors all over PA. Check the blogs if you don’t believe me. This will help in PA. My cousin lives in State College, PA and she told me that Hillary Clinton isn’t telling the truth about how angry small town people are. Obama gets it and she is changing her vote.
Obama/Zinni 2008
It’s Over Hillary and You’re SAD and PATHETIC
The Republicans love you NOW-THEY can have YOU!

Why doesn’t the media show Obama with a Marlboro in his hand?

To Karen….you amaze me….if you watched the forum last night, Obama basically repeated everything that Clinton said because he can’t think on his own. When asked different questions than Clinton’s, he stammered and blundered saying “uh” over and over again. As everyone has said, he has great rhetoric, but no substance. I see a divisiveness in the campaigns now….Clinton is emerging the MOST electable, Obama is imploding. It bothered me that he supports drugs to enhance the end of life, regardless if the patient wanted it or not. It bothers me that he said if his daughters got pregnant, he would want to get rid of the baby. It bothers me that he tries to couple Christianity with Islam. It bothers me that he supports the Hamas, the very people who want to annihialate Israel. It bothers me that he couldn’t give an answer for putting down small towns in America. The true Obama is beginning to surface now, and people are taking notice. If I were an Obama supporter, I would be really scrutinizing him at this point. Don’t be misled and deceived. Again, he has great rhetoric, but no substance.

*********Obama’s tactic now is….. yeah I said it— I used the word BITTER….what are you going to do about it “tactic”…….cause now all his surrogates are agreeing that smalltown America is BITTER
(as it’s on Audio for all to hear)……
But at the same funding party
—he also said..”When people tell me they’ve all stressed about racial discord, well, you know, try slavery for a while”
Well you know when someone says something like that in the same venue….with the Bitter/Cling Story….. Obama has some chip on his shoulder….. He tries so hard to be Proud of himself of knowing so much…..But the True colors of Obama’s Precious Words are coming out…… HE IS NOT PROUD—– HE IS FULL OF PRIDE( of his arrogant self just like his wife )— and PRIDE IS ONE OF THE 7 DEADLY SINS…….
He is forgeting that this is a position to serve the country—
He really shouldn’t be talking like this—IN CLOSED DOOR OR IN OPEN FORUM….he is really belittling the American Public and that is why this comment will stay with him as Rev. Wright’s D*** America
2 peas in a pod…. for 20 years

after reading through all the comments, I might be inclined to think that none of our current crop of candidates is any good at all….. not one.
I certainly won’t vote for McCain. He won’t make it through his first term with his faculties intact (he’s already beginning to dodder), and I won’t vote for Hillary “I misspoke (oh, yeah, the same sniper story 7 times in a month)” Clinton…..
And I wouldn’t choose Obama on anything written here because it churns and spins and twists so badly, I might think a good man is nothing more than a hack…..
Look deeper. Look past agendas and rhetoric. None are perfect, but if I have to choose among them, Obama represents something better.
Perhaps it’s time for us all to appeal to our own “better angels of our nature”, rather than snipe endlessly in nasty, disagreeable tones?
If you haven’t got anything nice to say, don’t say anything at all? Those were the days…..
peace

THIS JUST IN: “WE NEED MORE DUMB PEOPLE”
OBAMA IS FORMING THE BACKDROP FOR HIS NOVEMBER ASPIRATIONS: 5 YELLOW PEOPLE, 4 BROWN PEOPLE, 20 WHITE PEOPLE, 1 BLACK PERSON, 4 GREEN PEOPLE, 20 PURPLE PEOPLE AND 55 “MILLION” DUMB PEOPLE REQUIRED.
THE OBAMA COMMITTEE WILL MOVE PEOPLE AROUND FROM WHERE THEY WERE SITTING TO HAVE MORE “DUMB” PEOPLE IN THE FRONT ROW, SITTING DIRECTLY BEHIND OBAMA, TO CHEER HIM ON.
OBAMA, MICHELLE, PELOSI, DEAN, REID, KENNEDY, KERRY AND JEREMIAH WRIGHT ARE STUCK ON STUPID!
DON’T YOU JUST LOVE IT!
HILLARY 2008!

What ever happened to the war on drugs?
Alcoholism is America’s number 1 substance abuse problem and often is a gateway drug to other drugs.
why is it good politics for our leaders to down shots. I can ess a beer and slice of pizza; but that is as far as it should ever go.
Do you want alcoholics running around the globe representing the USA like that horrid former Russian President? (Can.t recall his name)

What Obama said about some Americans being bitter is completely true! Let’s face the facts. Some of these rural voters don’t know the issues but vote on things like guns and gay marriage. They vote against their best economic interests. That’s why we have an idiot in the White House. Obama is the only candidate that isn’t elitist. He didn’t grow up in a wealthy home like McCain or Clinton and he’s not a multi millionare as they are. Wake Up America! Obama knows what he’s talking about.

Obama’s comments, if taken in the context they were spoken, show that he does understand the people that the Washington insiders only notice during an election. He is right that people are bitter and have lost faith in their government. He is right that people often resort to backing a candidate based on a single issue because they have no expectation of candidates caring about the big picture after election day. People are reacting to Hillary’s spin on the comments. She’s framing it to mean something that wasn’t even the point of what he said. The insiders from BOTH parties see Obama as a threat. Politics as usual doesn’t want someone who wants to stop the games, roll up some sleeves, and get busy working on some solutions. They don’t want someone who expects non-partisan cooperation and a focus on the people. I heard what Obama was trying to say. Only in the environment of political sleeze could it be twisted to be all this junk I’m reading.

Why McCain and Clinton don’t get it … McCain and Clinton don’t get it because McCain and Clinton while understanding the strength of america is in its people can’t see that those self same people feel established politicians have betrayed them … sold out the industries they and their forefathers have built up … squandered the political good will bought with their grandfathers and their fathers blood … mortgaged the future of their children.
Americans are bitter not because they were beaten by foreign competition but because they were sold out by people like Clinton and McCain.

What Obama said about American being bitter is completely true????? are you kidding me?? How dare you try to to understand the behaviors and politics of someone that is not your self, this same Democrat theorizing that we lost elections because we are out of touch with people is no more true than posting your statement. For all of Obama’s education and “life experience” he sure lacks empathy and the ability to realize you do not generalize for the sake of compensating for your weak ability to connect with an important constituency.

I WOULD LIKE TO REACH OUT TO ALL MY NEIGHBORS IN P.A. AND ASK YOU TO PLEASE READ REV WRIGHTS LAST OUT BURST AND ASK YOURSELVES WHO IS BITTER AND WHO CLINGS TO RELIGION.ITS QUITE CLEAR WHAT AN INFLUENCE REV WRIGHT HAS ON SEN OBAMA.JUST LIKE REV WRIGHT INSPIRED OBAMA TO WRITE HIS BOOK WE FIND THAT THERE IS ALOT MORE IN COMMON.THE BITTER CLING SPEECH IS RIGHT OUT OF THE REV WRITE PLAY BOOK.HOW CAN SEN OBAMA TAKE US PAST RACIAL DIVISION IF HE BELONGED TO A CHURCH FOR 20 YEARS THAT PREACHED ANTI AMERICAN AND RACIAL HATE.THAT SAME CHURH HAS A PLEDGE SYSTEM TO THE BLACK MAN ONLY THAT SEN OBAMA LIVES BY.PLEASE P.A. DONT BE FOOLED BY SEN OBAMA. JOE N.Y. NY.

David,
I hope your a Republican WITH MONEY. The Democratic Party will go the way Obama goes, trust that.
To all you Republicans, congratulations, I think these small minded Dems will get what they deserve.
I hope you all have money or very secure jobs with the government. I hear the military is hiring.
Good luck

Rev. Wright is actually a good person. Hillary and the Media pick apart his statements so bad, it makes him look like a monster. Just like Obama statement this weekend. I do not think I am an over intelligent person but I knew from his first statement what he had said.
We are bitter people, we do hate our government…Hillary needs to clean out her own closet before she starts on his. She has more to worry about…the lies, Penn, Bill, millions in the bank, AFTA.
God help us all if she is the winner.

at this point, i just don’t understand how anyone can justify being a hillary supporter to themselves. the woman is a walking, talking (condescending), piece of lying yellow pantsuit. more lies come out of that woman’ fake mouth than i can count on all both hands….daily! i’m sick of her to the point where i can’t even stand her voice. i don’t want that woman’s face in my home on my tv for the next 4-8 years, and neither does most of america. if she’s the nominee, it’s hello prez. mccain.

Anyone who believes Obama is an elitist, after growing up with a single parent and spending many years after college helping less fortunate folks, needs to be dragged outside and have the stupidity beaten out of them. For the love of God, you are an embarrassment to logic and humanity.
Please go vote for your blue collar 100 million dollar candidate and leave the rest of us alone who want truth, hope, intelligence, and responsibility back in our lives.

We need to focus not on just the word “bitter,” but the condescending tone in which he made these remarks. He’s standing in front of white millionaires, trying to get their money, and explaining why he thinks the small town PA voters aren’t falling in love with him. He talked about them like they were idiots. It’s not just the word “bitter.”

geevil, Hillary is the cult leader, the Clintonistas cult including people like you who believes that the beginning of the world or the end of the word is the Clintons. Hillary is drunk everyday, listen to her laughs and consider her easy cries you will find the impact of alcohol on her. She is a real alcoholic who will not hesitate in doing anything to increase her 109 millions with another 800 000 from Colombia. She was drunk whe she was talking about her Bosnia story. Hillary is unelectable, today Foxnews was making her drinking habit a good show on Fox and Friends. God bless America and God bless obama.OBAMA08.

Obama is right on, at an earlier debate Brian Williams asked everyone who has owne d a gun in their adult lifetime to raise their hand. Hillary didn’t.
and now she wants to be Elmer Fudd?

Face it: Obama stained the very fabric of the American electorate that is needed to win the presidency. By expressing his elitist, highly insensitive views to a group of San Francisco millionaires he proved he doesn’t have the poignancy, the IQ nor the continental compass to be president. He is out of touch. He catered to these rich people’s “hauteur” and imperialistic musings without flinching or thinking of the consequences. He got caught pressing the self-destructive buttons any politico 101 knows:
101: Don’t insult your voters.
101: God believing people believe in God, good times or bad.
101: Bearing guns is a constitutional right and has nothing to do with class.
101: Not all small town folks are bigots. Obama’s own mother was a small town girl who was not a racist.
In sum, one hopes that the eventual nominee is the president for all people, at the very least “the smartest guy in the room.” This last “bitter” remark issue in addition to the way he handled the “God Damn America” Rev. Wright controversy clearly proves that Obama is not that “guy”. Let’s face it; Hillary is and has always been—35 years ago & from day one.

I think Obama may turn out to be the worst thing that could happen to USA, worse than Bush.

Can someone please shed some light on Obama’s community organizing in Chicago? I live in Chicago, and I’ve never head anything about it… I am just curious. Thanks.

Both candidates have said somethings that are pretty incredible; however, noone is asking Hilary to come out and explain why she repeatedly told the Bosnia lie on the campaign stomp. Bill says so she’s sixty and she sometimes forgets, glossing over and telling an even greater tale of what didn’t happen in Bosnia.
However, Obama’s poor choice of words in referring to small town America, needs a better explanation, describing his roots and connection to small town America through his grandparents, one of whom also worked in a factory or plant. Also, whether some people know it or know, Hawaii, where Obama lived in his early years, like other tourist destinations, have their rural and poor communities. It not all sun in the fun, and I understand that, since I was born at West Point, New York, but have lived in the Caribbean for many years.

Obama, Typical response from him is NOT to answer or to own up to his own statements or actions. Anyone questioning him on the company he keeps, his actions, or his personal statements, is dubbed by him, as being negative or using scare tactics. I guess according to him we should be Ashamed of OURSELVES For Even Questioning Him on His OWN Statments.
But What Do I Know I Am Only A Small Town Girl Not A Sophisticated Californian.
I Guess I Am Glad Obama Came Along To Set Me Staight About My Life and How I Feel.
Being defined as A Bitter Gun Clinging, Church Cliging, Bigoted Fool. We all know it is true because he gave a statement professing “We All Know It Is True”.
Yes, I am from a small town. But in my reality, not Obama’s version of it, we are diverse. I am white and My longest standing pastor was a black man who by the way, FYI, did not speak bad about America or act like reverend Wright. Also, I love diversity. It shows by those whos company I keep.
Just Maybe, this time Obama the Shame should be on you. Quit pointing the finger at all of us folks, giving us speeches on how to think and behave, and take a look at yourself.

Hey hillary cultist, hannity drinking kool-aid supporters, hillary is a fraud, she lies and doubler speaks anyone still supporting her is an elitist and completely insincere to themselves, how you can vote for someone who looks to you and lies in your face not once,but thrice, shame on you hillary clinton campaign staffers!!!……obama08

Actually, a week ago elizabeth edwards said that obamas healthcare plan is an absolute no go because it’s not universal healthcare and that she fully endorsed hillarys plan.
So good luck obama for edward endorsement when his wife certainly doesn’t agree with your plans

The cameras cover everything either of these two candidates does. Hillary had a drink, Obama had a drink… what’s the problem? The decision was made to have him make a “racial divide address” after his Rev. Wright mistakes. Now it looks like the decision was made to have him get bitter after his elitist remarks. His sitting in the pews listening to Wright’s hate speech for 20 years will not go away nor will his demeaning generalizations about different Americans ever go away. They reveal much about his character, his judgment and his maturity.

Obama thinks small-town Americans are stupid.
Obama, you were in a private fundraiser in liberal San Francisco, which was closed to the press. You thought you could demeen rural people in front of this crowd. I thank The Huffington Post for releasing your ridiculous comments.
You spoke unbelievably poorly about religion, in a manner that is difficult to comprehend. I think it is a reflection of the congregation you attended the last 20 years.
You also spoke poorly of the people. You stated that if government provided for their needs they would not vote on issues like religion, traditional marriage, protecting the border, and just trade policies. There are plenty of people with jobs who hold these issues in high priority.
Obama, you are an elitist and totally out of touch with the people.

dl They are all elitist. But what world do you live in? Who kept Obama’s campaign afloat before people around this Country started to see him as a viable candidate? Small donors consist of 46% of his campaign funds and who do you think contributes the rest? He does those $2000 a plate dinners and he’s taken money from JP Morgan Chase, UBS, Citigroup, Exelon, Exxon Mobil, British Petroleum and I can go on and on. He’s one of the Wall Street darlings now. This is the biggest lie Obama is spreading out there in that he has people convinced he’s not a corporate candidate and that he’s honest with you.
I’ll believe he’s honest when he tells you “Hey, I get money from special interests in the same way my opponents do and I’m pulling in even more money than they are in some areas and why would I want public financing then”. I’ll believe he’s honest when he stands up there and says ” I’m a politician and you cannot expect honesty from me all the time”. If he has said those things then I stand corrected. You need to go to watchdog sites that are not connected to specific parties nor candidates and do your homework on where his money comes from. And the lobbyist spin, he takes less money than lobbyists but there are ways around getting that money without calling it lobbyist money, like taking it from
“advisors” to lobbyists, and he’s taken a heck of alot of money from them. Mr. Honesty is selling people a whole bag of goods. Noone is going to argue what Clinton is/is not but to believe this guy is any different is ridiculous. If you want different than jump on the Nader bandwagon but don’t expect it from the Democrats or Republicans because they all sleep in the same bed and that includes Obama.

Obama can’t seem to grasp the essence of a real issue much less propose a viable solution. Isn’t that more indicative of the man than your wild comparisons about Clinton? Can’t you think of a legitimate reason to support your goofy candidate rather than sling mud?

Ok – is this a blog or a mob? Clinton supporters are scary.
Hope and optimism = Obama 08.
Bye Hillary.

Remember the issues everyone? The things that people used to concentrate on when looking at a presidential candidate? What we need to worry about is education. America is really behind compared to other developed countries. What about the environment? Would you like your grandchildren (that is if sperm is not made defective by pollution) to wear an air mask to go outside? What about foreign policy? What is the point of trying to help other countries when they view the U.S. as a big bully? Like the saying “You get more flies with honey than with vinegar”. And the economy? A $600 check is nice (I’m not complaining about it) but what about job programs, or something to deal with this mortgage crisis?

bspia2 Do you know the money for your $600 check is coming from China?

McCain will win because of the phoniness and the rhetoric of Hillary and the ties to an angry Black organization. Everybody remember what Jack just said.

len-
Obama grew up poor and on food-stamps!
He worked his way to Ivy school! That is nothing to be ashamed of! That is the american dream that many in this country strive for and he accomplished it! But what’s more telling about his character is that after he graduated from Ivy school, he went to work as a public servant!
Compare that to Hillary Clinton who went to work for private firms and eventually ended up at WAL-MART!
You tell me who’s the elitis!
By the way…you can’t defend a woman who makes $109,000,000.00 with being in touch with the American people….because she made her money through shady deals with middle-eastern governments, and Colombia!
How do you defend that?

Have you seen the ARG PA. Poll 4/14/08? Clinton 57 Obama 37. Obama Zombies, this is not going tobe explained away

obama should bring up the clinton’s involvement in the bilderburg group. it’s so elite that most americans haven’t even heard about it. shaping policies without the public’s interest at heart is not a good way to shape an administration, and more obviously, her campaign.

F*ck John Edwards.
The question is: Why isn’t Obama talking about his life story more to challenge this elitist charge? His mother was on food stamps. His father left him when he was young and they were flat broke all his youth. He went to good schools on hard-earned scholarships. He and his wife were poor until recently. Why not highlight these things for Godsakes? -Kevin
———————————-
Well Said Kevin,
OBAMA is the closest to the real people in America, many of them are Hard Working self made “ELITES”
OBAMA08!! YES WE CAN!!

Rev. Wright opened the Nation’s eyes thanfully and blew it for Obama. THere is NO WAY IN HELL that he will be our President. It just won’t happen. Sorry all you Obama supporters. Pick another Black man next time with some common sense, decency, dignity and one who is positive and not Racist against Jews and White people. Someone like Larry Elder or Bill Cosby.

As long as Obama continues to speak and reveal more and more of his true intentions for America, the support that his hype initially produced will continue to fade.
And we all thought George W. Bush has problems speaking in public!

Can someone please shed some light on Obama’s community organizing in Chicago? I live in Chicago, and I’ve never head anything about it… I am just curious. Thanks.
DMK
He put his names onto a bunch of Legislature that he had no hand in making…..Thanks to the Mastermind of EMIL JONES….Obama’s Political Godfather…
( and this is what Obama will continue to do if he wins…………..UH UH UH UH UHUHUH……….. and finally get rid of the “HOUSE THAT REZKO HELPED HIM TO GET……” guess that White House is looking mighty good to Obama now.
When people tell me they’ve all stressed about racial discord, well, you know, try slavery for a while

THIS HAS TO BE ONE OF THE FEW TIMES IN U.S. POLITICAL HISTORY WHEN A MULTI-MILLIONAIRE HAS ACCUSED A MUCH LESS WEALTHY FELLOW PUBLIC SERVANT, A PERSON OF THE SAME PARTY AND VIEWS WHO MADE MUCH LESS LUCRATIVE CAREER CHOICES, OF “ELITISM”!

Stop reading the grocery store magazines. Hillary Clinton (the woman you mention) DID NOT MAKE $109 MILLION DOLLARS. Shame on you!

In the beginning before the actual campaining began, I thought Obama was a
very intelligent man and a good speaker.
since that time I have seen and heard a totally different person. He appears to be a wolf in sheep’s clothing and I really have a BIG FEAR direction this country would go under his leadership.
He and his wife seem to be snobby and not in tune to the people who are having financial hardships and are trying to survive as best they can. He also worries me when it comes to his loyalty to this country and as to what his religion actually is . I can’t believe how different his really is since I first started and hearing him on
some of the TV shows and reports I seen
before the campaigning began. All I can
say is “Heaven Help This Country If He Gets Elected.”

It is not the beer.
Which candidate do you really believe is going to fight for American jobs and fairness on these trade deals?
Which candidate do you really believe want to get us out of Iraq tomorrow if possible and the sooner the better?
Which candidate do you believe can communicate with friends, competitors and adversaries without getting us into another war we cannot afford to wage and have no manpower to fight? These are the only things that matter.
This isn’t the next American Idol you’re voting for it’s the next president of the United States. What do you care what they drink or if they bowl or what kind of cheese they like? When we are at war with Iran because we didn’t want to talk to them and all working for Chinese and Saudi companies because “the market” decided we should and our kids are beging taught that evolution and global warming are myths are you going to say “Well at least we have a president who can bowl?”

Jean, excellent comment!!!

Easy Stacy, first check your facts. He was raised in Hawaii by well-to-do grandparents. He attended those schools with entitlements. I don’t hold that against him. I had them too but also played in the local nightclubs to feed myself. I went to work for NASA after college. So the ‘poor boy from a poor place’ doesn’t wash well here. A lot of us do that. I was raised in a poor black neighborhood and I’m white. It’s a tough climb, lady. On the other hand, what we achieve ourselves, we treasure.
What I said was his strategy doesn’t work because it doesn’t tell a voter what the man stands for. He has no center. Even in the Compassion Forum, he evaded the questions. At least Hillary tried to answer honestly what she believed and she expressed something I agree with: epiphanic moments are private matters. She rightly reserves that privacy just as she raised Chelsea away from the glare. Smart woman. Good woman. Good wife. Good mother.
As an engineer and entertainer, I’ve worked on projects that I didn’t like. I’ve played gigs in rooms that I knew were owned by shady people. In these cases, I moved on. Obama sat in a church for 20 years that anchors its practice in the most reviled theologies now current. He did that purely for political gain or to pacify his domestic situation.
This is what you have to wrap your head around: a rock star status is about mystery and secret allure (plus very big sound systems). It is a fast ride but unless the star has deep musical skills, it is a short one. See Bo Bice. To make a long career out of it, one has to have the goods. See Carrie Underwood. Obama is fading because for the first time, people are getting a sense of his character, what he is like offstage, and what they see doesn’t jibe with the craftily created image.
A dog that brings a bone takes a bone. It’s a lesson you need to understand. It isn’t just the American public watching: it is every political powerplayer on Earth, and they are charting his weaknesses in detail for 2009. If his character flaws are this glaring now, quit worrying about what McCain will do with them and start worrying about what V. Putin will.

Benjamin-
You dumba–! He never said you were stupid!
But consider what Hillary is feeding you:
Says she opposed NAFTA from the beginning only to get caught in her own lies with FACTS about how she lobbied for NAFTA! And then goes further and proclaims it on of Bill Clinton’s administration’s victories!
Says she is against COLOMBIA FREE TRADE DEAL, but her close friend for over 20 years and chief strategist MARK PENN meets with Colombia in private to pass it! Hillary never fires Mark Penn (loyal to him before the American worker)and never returns the $800,000.00 that went into the Clinton joint account!
Hillary is the one who thinks you’re stupid because she acts like you’re just going to keep on believing her lies and never has to apologize when she gets caught in them!
Talk about elitist!

OBAMA 08 look at his background and tell me that he doesn’t understand where people are coming from. He is the only guys who is going where other candidates have never been. If you don’t like hearing the truth then too bad.

obama must be a good canidate because hillary spends all of her time to make sure you hear what he says.keep stumping for him hillary.look at your government.I AM BITTER!!!!!!!!!!!!and unless you are rich you should be bitter too.

yomama,
Your IP has been recorded and forwarded to FBI for review for your Hate Speech and it is a federal crime.

The Obama campaign is on record as pandering to the voters in Ohio and yet having their Economic Advisor, Goolsbee, reassure the canadian government that they had nothing to worry about.
Meanwhile, Clinton is on record as opposed to the Columbian Trade Deal. Who cares about Bill Clinton and Penn’s relationships or even positions about this issue? Hillary Clinton is the US Senator voting on the Trade Deal – and the candidate running for President.
Given her resilience and toughness during this campaign, it would be a mistake to think she is not her own person.
Go Hillary!!!!!!!!!!!!

Obama will have America in a Race War by the end of November 2008.

Patricia – So you want the DNC to step in and tell the person with the most delegates and votes to step down. I’m sure that will happen….NOT!

I think the media blows these things up just get there precious coverage of these people. To try to show us regular living serfs how they are so much like us.
The only comment about Hillary I have is the fact if you get a shot. Drink it like a shot don’t sip it. I would have been impressed if she just belted the sucker down.
The fact is whoever wins this race is going to win the whole thing. I believe when the media focus shifts vrs the Dems and Reps. There’s no way in heads up battle will McCain win. I like McCain but disagree with his stance on the war. And his remarks about Bomb Iran. I’m sorry but they are going use those comments against McCain. The last thing this country needs is someone to follow the policy’s of George W.

I’ve got 3 words for you McCain supporters: The Keating Five.
Obama 08′

I ‘m so fed up by Obama and his supporters. No way to reason with them. They are blind and deaf, just like Bush followers back in 2000. Clinton or MCcain for president. Or anybody but Obama.

MLK’s children endorsed Hillary. Maya Angelo endorsed Hillary. Oprah no longer says anything about Obama since she is losing in the TV ratings. Many of the SuperDelegates have not endorsed Obama. Jimmy Carter has decided to wait until the convention to endorse, when many thought he would endorse Obama now. It appears that Obama is losing it. I agree, that many people are bitter, but you DON”T condescend people for religious beliefs in times of trouble, which is what Obama did. This, by itself, cost him the election. I actually voted for him in the Texas primary, however, listening to his lies and double standards, thinking he is the “golden child” of the election, his wife who hates America, him not being able to separate himself from Rev. Wright, and the list goes on and on……Obama has defeated himself in this election….Hillary is just accentuating what Obama has already stated and done. Hillary has lied too. However, when you look at electability in this stage of the game, Hillary wins hands down, and you will see, the SuperD’s will feel the same way. Even, IF, Obama were to win the nomination, he won’t win in the GE……too many Clinton supporters will vote for McCain, plus, Florida and Michigan are swing states and since Obama did not want their votes to count, McCain will carry those states as well. It all depends on electability…Obama supporters face it, Obama has blown it, he will never win the General Election…..it’s over for him.

Carol from Arkansas…you think Hilary can understand your financial hardships? She made 100 million last year..

“Do you want alcoholics running around the globe representing the USA like that horrid former Russian President? (Can.t recall his name)”
you should lay off the booze.

BARACK IS AN ELITIST. BUT I”M JUST A TYPICAL GUN TOTE’N CHURCH GOING IMMIGRANT HATE’N WHITE MALE THAT ISN’T SMART ENOUGH TO KNOW BARACK SAID.

looking for a reason/act to demote Obama, while looking for a reason to promote Hillary even if she is a hypocrite, and a straight faced pathological lier…..
….and who is looking ?….majority of PA small town people….
I bet these people would even vote for for the worst possible white candidate against a best possible black candidate…..AND Hillary lovers (who used to belong to) DON’T PAINT ME BLACK to diminish my statement….because I am not.

Obama’s not qualified to a Senator
and probably should be in jail IMHO.

Obama is DANGEROUSLY out of touch with
reality – I hope the FBI is watching
him closely.

Obama is done..this is damage control..what a joke. Didn’t he just bowl 37 and made a fool of himself in front of the cameras. He went on a full pledge attack on Clinton because of what he said himself. He put himself in the situation and now he is blaming others for it. Same old Obama. He sat and listened to Wright for 20 years and blamed it on everyone. Why doesn’t he say all this “BITTERNESS” in front of the small town Pennsylvania people when he campaigns? When he becomes President and he says something against China or Iraq or whoever? Will he also say..uhmm..I need to explain this.I should have worded it differently…While the missiles are already on their way to us. How many times will he have to explain himself after the fact? Go away Mubarak Hussein Obama…you are a sorry excuse for a politician.

About 90% of the posts on this blog were made from people who really make my country The United States of America look really bad!!
Between the three candidates Barack Obama is the least wealthy with earning at just about one million dollars! Hillary and her husband have made over $109 million dollars since leaving the white house. John McCain’s wife is an heiress to a fortune which may be well over $100 million dollars due to her father’s stake in Hensley & Co. of Phoenix a distributor for Anheuser-Busch. Can somebody please tell me how Mr. Obama can be labeled an elitist compared to the other two candidates????
And in regards to his comments concerning Pennsylvania and Mid west voters how is it that he is looking down on them when he basically said that they are upset about their economic situation that had not been made any better by both the Clinton and Bush administrations?? Ask people if they are upset or bitter in regards to their homes probably being in foreclosure, high gas prices, and no jobs!!! I do not see this as speaking down on anyone. I see it as recognizing what the problem is and trying to figure out a way to deal with the problem.
And the Rev. Wright is a retired Marine a veteran of this country’s armed forces! He was a nurse at the bedside of Lyndon B. Johnson! If he is critical of our government then he has every right to say so. You see American citizens are afforded that right according to the constitution of this great land. So before any of you go saying that someone is unpatriotic because of their criticism of our government then maybe you should go examine the constitution and understand that it is very patriotic to express speech in a free society!!! GOD BLESS AMERICA!!!!!!!!!

OBAMA, THE PIED PIPER, HAS FINALLY IMPLODED.
TAKE NO RESPONSIBILITY!!!!
PREACH YOUR WAY OUT IT!!!!!!
BULLY HILLARY CLINTON!!!!!!!!
BULLY BULLY BULLY!!!!!!!!!
WHINY PLAGIARIZER, COPYCAT,

HE IS UNELECTABLE. WAY TOO CHILDISH!!

Doesn’t it seem to you that the
main thing wrong with America is Barry
Obama? i want a president with an IQ above 50.

Usha,,,
The FBI is to busy listening to your Cell phone to bother with Obama. Big Brother George W. style…
TOOL!

Obama never has to worry about his supporters turning against him. They never listen and if they do, they can justify anything he says or does. Whoopi and Joy on The View this morning, fell all over themselves explaining his remarks and glossing over them. Joy said he was raised by a single woman. His grand parents did most of the bringing up of Obama in a good, middle class community. When he lived with his mother briefly in Indonesia, she was married and during that time she took Obama back to Hawaii to live with his grandparents and attend an elite boys’ prep school and later they moved back to the States. No where can I find he had a hard time growing up. Yes, he may have been called names but so where most of us. He sat for 20 years listening to a close friend, mentor and advisor down this Country and preach hate. I don’t think we need a President with that 20 year history and we don’t need a first lady who never was proud to be an American until this year when her husband was able to run for the office of the president.

Scary but good point Rupert:
Obama’s serial lieing, racial phobia,
and mudslinging are typical signs
of terrorists and criminals.

This just in. Hillary Clinton’s pastor arrested on child molestation charges.

Here’s a question: I wonder how many people won’t vote with Obama because they don’t agree with him compared the ones that won’t vote for him just because he is black? Conversely, I wonder how many people are just voting for HRC because they just have to have a woman in the White House. I’d like to believe this type of backward thinking is behind us but it is as real as ever. I would guarentee that if race wasn’t an issue for some people, Obama would already be a lock for the presidency. I just can’t help but think that people won’t vote for him just because he’s black by listening to some of the posts that appear from time to time.

What you Americans don’t understand in religion or rather christainity is: You don’t go to church because of the pastor A or Pastor B is preaching. You do that because it’s your private business with God. Obama was there not because of his so called pastor Wright, but because he want’s to talk to God though that church. If you keep switching churches due the A pastor or B pastor then you’re doomed.

ANYTHIME OBAMA STUMBLES, AND QUITE A FEW TIMES, YOU

sOON THE MEDIA FIND A WAY TO CONVINCE US AND MANIPULATE US INTO

SHE IS NOT THERE TO KNOW WHAT OBAMA MEANS…
OBAMA PANDERS TO ELITES IN CALIFORNIA, WHO ARE FUNDING HIM AND DISRESPECTS WORKING AND RURAL AMERICA AND ITS ALL HILLARY’S FAULT????
OBAMA DIDNT THINK THE TAPE WOULD GET OUT…

BB why don’t you send Obama’s minister’s hate speeches to the FBI to review. What about Michell looking for more white people at CMU.Does it occur to you that was racist. As to the candidates having a drink, Hussien likes weed and coke. He said it himself. He’s trying to buy Pennsylvania; he ad’s (lies) are aired constantly. He even has our stealth senator (Casy) trying to get him elected. Actually, those who decry NAFTA should check the records. It has been good for PA $10 billion a year. It ‘s been reported that he collected a whopping 240 million from his billionaire friends.

UTICA – A former Clinton pastor will likely face trial in Oneida County Court later this year or in early January for allegations that he inappropriately touched a 7-year-old girl while trying to get her to fall asleep at his residence.
Judge Michael L. Dwyer estimated the possible trial date after the Rev. William Procanick, 53, appeared in court Friday morning for a pre-trial hearing to examine the circumstances surrounding Procanick’s alleged confession to investigators.

APOLOGIZE, OBAMA
HAVE THE HUMILITY TO APOLOGIZE
QUIT BULLYING US
BULLY YOUR WAY OUT OF EVERY MISTAKE.!!!
APLOGIZE TO SMALL TOWN AMERICA.
WE ARE NOT AFRAID OF YOU, OBAMA
HILLARY IS NOT AFRAID OF YOU, EITHER
OBAMA , YOU ARE A BULLY!!.

The bottom line is that we get a corporate-owned, institutionalized status quo president, McCain or Clinton, who are no different than Bush, or America gets a person with vision.

Obama said “Around election time, the candidates they just can’t do enough. They’ll promise you anything, they’ll give you a long list of proposals. They’ll even come around, with TV crews in tow and throw back a shot and abeer.” (On Saturday, Clinton had a beer and did a shot of whiskey at Bronko’s Restaurant in Indiana.)
—————————————-
Is he trying to lose the election?
The man is a hypocrite and floundering faster than the Titanic.
I watched Obama bowl and have a beer under the bright lights of the media. There is absolutely no difference between Clinton having a drink and Obama having a drink in a bar on the campaign trail.
Obama has also “towed” around the media when it suits his purpose and when it doesn’t, he keeps them at bay to “woo” major contributers to his campaign.
He also has admitted and written about extensive drug use which is not the best example to be putting out to the youth around the world.
He got caught in a compromising position and is arrogant enough to blame everyone but himself.
Sadly, the people who are being “hoodwinked” and “bamboozled” are just the folks that are handing over $20 here and there to help this guy who refers to them as gun toting, bible thumping…. bitter voters.
Hopefully, Clinton and McCain keep putting the pressure on to show Obama’s true colors so the public really sees what he is about.

I’m bitter because you’re bitter. You’re bitter because Obama says you’re bitter. You weren’t bitter before you were bitter. It’s only after you first became bitter that you’re bitter.
So, put away your six-shooter and stop your anti-immigrant nonsense.

I live in PA and I still have faith that the PA voters will get it right. PA did not vote for Bush in either 2000 or 2004. I think that once PA realizes what is really going on here they will end up voting for Obama. Obama 2008!

Mistakes become ‘gaffes’ when they play to an underlying stereotype,” said Michael Munger, a polticial science professor at Duke University in North Carolina, which is scheduled to hold its primary May 6. “If Bill Clinton had said this thing about some white people being bitter and using guns, it would have been fine, since he grew up a poor white guy. But the Obama stereotype is a wealthy Ivy League elitist. He’s a little too well-spoken; his suits are a little too expensive. From him, the comment comes off as condescending.”

i’ve read some of the comments here pointing out that its a matter of public record that the Obama campaign panders to voters…duh!!! the Clinton campaign (and McCains campaign) pander to voters too…its what campaigning is, so its difficult to understand why that should come as a surprise to some people. Were’nt you in this country when Obama and Clinton were campaigning in Ohio…? Did’nt you read about how Hillary stated that even though she never agreed with NAFTA, she supported it because she supported the policies of the President. is’nt it a little transparent to you that she had to say that in Ohio because (aside from Michigan) it was the State hit hardest by NAFTA. If thats not pandering for votes in your mind then you don’t understand the term pandering. Hillary has been doing the same thing ever since she realized Obama was a viable contender for the Presidency.
I would also like to thank the individuals who have taken note that the focus of Clintons campaign is to simply lambast and embarass the Obama camp. If you people want to vote for Hillary, that your business, but don’t be fooled into thinking her “experience” adds up to giving you a better life in America. If how she runs her campaign is any indication of how she may run the Country, can you honestly say to yourselves shes the best candidate? half her staff has left her, she has to apologize for her top aides, her husband. She embarasses herself by embellishing stories of her experience (over and over again). She’s tried (unsucessfully) to make this an issue of race and sexism. She’s lost the popular vote and is losing the delegate race…if she can’t stir up enough votes in the primaries, what makes you think she will be able to compete in the Presidentail elections? So go ahead, vote for her, but these things are glaring contridictions and are not ignored despite how much blame she wants to give to others. If you think these things amount to a good President, your wrong.

Does anyone find it funny that a black man is being accused of being the one who is out of touch/elitist?
First Obama is cast as ‘not black enough’, then he’s ONLY the ‘black candidate’ and now its the elitism issue.
How can a woman who last held a job in the private sector 30 years ago accuse someone else of being elitist??

ANYTIME OBAMA HAS A SPEECH TO MAKE
MAKE SURE AND PUT A MINIATURE PATRICK DEVALL IN HIS POCKET SO ALL OBAMA HAS TO DO IS LIPSYCH.
WITHOUT TELEPROMTERS AND STOLEN SPEECHES, THIS BULLY SPEWS GARBAGE.
THEN HILLARY HAS A DUTY TO FIGURE OUT WHAT OBAMA MEANT TO SAY, AND EXPLAIN TO THE COUNTRY?
JUST A BULLY!!
A P O L O G I Z E, OBAMA!!!

While people are speaking their minds, including Obama, here’s one for you small-towners: a lot of the country has lost respect for you because you put Bush in office. You vote on idiotic non-economic issues like gay marriage when the rest of us are worried about paying for cancer treatment for our mother, how we’re going to pay for the gas in our deliver truck, or things like that.
The rest of the country is pissed off at you! YOU elected Bush, and by all measures he’s been a DISASTER. Look at the obscene oil company incomes oilman Bush has helped. You voted on stupid issues and you ignored his incompetence, arragance, and mistakes. He baited you on non-sequitors and impossibilities (privatize social security, “flip flopping”, etc.). YOU gave us Bush, and the rest of us are scratching our heads, wondering why.
Bush has been the most anti-middle-class pro-business anti-science war mongering defict spending president we’ve ever seen. He is already going down in history as the WORST president that ever was and ever will be. And ya’ll game him to us.
The powers that be see their grip on the public’s mind slipping. The lobbyists that write their platforms, run their campaigns, and tell them what to think and say instruct them to desperately cling to the slightest weakness of their opponents.
Hah, well if Wright didn’t sink Obama, then neither will inartfully telling the truth that some people vote on non-economic issues when they don’t think that voting economic issues will do them any good.

Mistakes become ‘gaffes’ when they play to an underlying stereotype,” said Michael Munger, a polticial science professor at Duke University in North Carolina, which is scheduled to hold its primary May 6. “If Bill Clinton had said this thing about some white people being bitter and using guns, it would have been fine, since he grew up a poor white guy. But the Obama stereotype is a wealthy Ivy League elitist. He’s a little too well-spoken; his suits are a little too expensive. From him, the comment comes off as condescending.”

Josua – u are kind of a moron, aren’t you? Check the link. He’s up by 10 points in the gallup polls as of today. I guess if you like Clinton you are used to lying though.
http://www.gallup.com/poll/106504/Gallup-Daily-Obama-Numbers-Holding-Strong.aspx
As far as PA is concerned, he’s only down by 7%.
http://www.time.com/time/politics/article/0,8599,1730546,00.html?imw=Y
Get your facts right or stop lying.

pt, and when the election comes up in Indiana, you will say you are from Indiana, and you will be voting for him then. Do you think anybody falls for you obama supporters that keep on changing your identification? What a farce you are.

The Obama camp made sure there were many of this supporters in the AAM audience for his attack speech. The Obama camp is doing major damage control.

Tim, you should also include how many people will vote for Obama just because he is black.

You are out of touch! You also think you’re better than the voters you want to put you in office! It’ll never happen!

I’m still trying to wrap my head around why people think what he said was so offensive. I grew up in rural Southern IL, and everything he said is true. It’s also true of those in the economically strapped parts of cities. Not that I’m voting for him, but I’d much rather get the hard truth from my president than more easy lies. I love that Clinton calls him an “elitist” for calling things like they are. If people can’t see Clintons BS by now (NAFTA, BOSNIA, WAL-MART, COLOMBIA, NORTHERN IRELAND, etc, ad nauseum) , then I’m sorry but there’s something wrong with you–I guess I’m an elitist too, huh?
Clinton is way over the line with her attacks. “Elitist” is rich coming from someone who’s never been anything but wealthy in her entire life, and a screaming liberal to boot. And is she crazy going after Kerry and Gore? WTF??? I thought she was trying to GAIN the support of the mushy Democrats, not completely alienate them. Oh well, all for the best. That longer this goes on, the deeper she digs her hole.
Might I add, I find it hilarious that several of the same people posting here are the same people that were running around being “outraged” that Obama “was a Muslim”. Keep it up! The more she leads you by the nose, the better it is for McCain.

Now it is crytal clear that Obama is not what he claims he is. He is not fit to be the President. Obama is so rude and unthoughtful that we can have a president like him. Also, his supporters are rude at these blogs all the time. I am sick of this. To all the Obama’s supporters: being rude toward all other people WILL NOT get him elected!!!

You guys give me a laugh. HRC supporters try to play her line that Barack’s an elitist while they support a candidate who makes $109 Million on speeches, and continues to milk the taxpayer yearly! to the tune of $1 million big ones in pension, office expense, and benefits so that they can continue adding to that $109 million in speech engagements. And she calls Barack elitist? What’s wrong with this picture?

NObama is leading in the delegates ONLY because all his DIRTY LAUNDRY of keeping company with terrorists, racists and anti-Americans, his ‘misjudgments’, bone headed decisions, elitist ways to look down on average Americans and millions of lies are coming out now – much after 2/3 of Americans got ‘Mis-led’ and force fed by the main stream media with this inexperienced, Elitist, Arrogant and goofy – NOBAMA.

Hillary or McCain can’t win on the issues. Their last hope is to portray Obama as an elitist. Obama is absolutely right, I am VERY BITTER and frustrated. Millions of other Americans are. We need to wake up from our long sleep.

ObamaKnew – Not sure what you’re smoking, dude, but please share lol.

THIS GUY HAS SHOWN THAT HE IS NOT PRESIDENTIAL MATERIAL. ITSNOT THAT HE IS NOT READY, HE IS SHOWING THAT HE WILL NEVER BE READY. IF WE DON’T SEE THIS AND MOVE AWAY FROM HIM AND IF HE GETS ELECTED, WE WILL PAY A HEAVY PRICE. WE HAVE TOO MANY IMPORTANT THINGS TO DEAL WITH THAT PEOPLES LIVES DEPEND ON. WE CANNOT AFFORD TO ROLL THE DICE .

1> Forget who’s bitter and who’s not– the focus should be on Obama’a saying that the voters who don’t support him are clinging to their antipathy of people who aren’t like them (translate the code — po’ white folk don’t want to vote for a black man), just like they CLING to their religion, guns, and xenophobia. He wasnt commenting on the sad state of the economy – he was answering a direct question as to why he wasn’t getting traction in PA outside of the urban center. It may be true, but how is he going to win the GE without getting those votes? And can he ever get them now?
2> Elitism doesn’t mean you’re rich – it means you think you’re superior. Obama has that, or he wouldn’t run for President as a 2-yr Senator.
3> People with money can still “feel” for the middle/lower income levels. Most people have no problem lauding Oprah for every one of her charitable and not-so charitable moments — is it just a sham too b/c she’s got billions?
4> Clintons do not have a net worth of $100+ million … earned $100+ since leaving the white house in 2000. At about 12 million a year, w/33% going to the IRS (~4m/yr), 1m/year to charity, before expenses cleared ~6m/yr … still good money, but way less than most entertainers, athletes, wall street execs, CEOs, etc.
5> So far, Elitist is the worst thing the Clinton campaign has called him, compared to what the Obama campaign throws out regularly, starting with racist, warmonger, and fatally flawed. His attacks are always personal – assailing her character, mocking her, joining in the general “well everyone hates Hillary so I can say these things” atmosphere. In contrast, her attacks relate to his experience (lack thereof), and what he says/does.
6> NAFTA (CAFTA) might make it a little easier for companies to move to Mexico (because now their good can come back into the US), but don’t forget the reason they want to move is b/c union costs of health care/retiree benefits/fixed pensions/etc are killing most companies. Look at the car companies and the overhead unions added to their balance sheets. For everyone who’s so against free trade, remember that means higher prices b/c companies who want to stay in US markets will need to pay US salaries and won’t necessarily have higher sales volumes internationally to make up the difference — who wants to pay $2 for that peppermint patty? Easy to say NAFTA bad, but tell me how what comes after is better?
7> I see no reason to think Obama has what it takes to make things right – that requires taking a stand against numerous special interests, setting agendas within your own team/party, making trade-offs on a grand scale — nothing in his career has prepared him for that, nothing in his actions indicates he can do it.

Obama the Elitist – Harvard Man. Obama the Hater. Obama the Snob. Obama the ANTI-USA Wright-Man. Obama the Liberal. Obama the Socialist – ooopsss progressive. Style over Substance (MR. SOS)

Just remember, Obama’s position on NAFTA is political posturing. Source: Canadian Government.

david from texas. you and your brand of christianity may be a bunch of sheep, who follow whatever the shepard tells you, (not too far from radical islam). you and your brand of christianity may believe that creationism is the only way we humans got here. you and your brand of christianity may believe that islam is evil. however not all christians believe as you do. I don’t remember learning that Christ ever said that god created adam and eve. that was from earlier jewish teaching. I do recall learning that Christ rebeled against the shepards, calling their teachings into question. i also recall learning that christ encouraged his followers to question the authority of their religious leaders. I also recall that Islam branches from the same jewish teachings as Christianity. in effect christianity, islam and judeasm all worship the same god, in different fashion, but the same god. I do recall that Christians found justification for slavery in the bible. so you believe what you want, and call that christianity. I will believe what i want and call that christianity. senator obamah will believe what he wants and call that christianity. just remember that christianity is following the example and teachings of Christ. Not the letters of paul, not the earlier books of Judiasm, not the ramblings of a priest, pastor, or minister. but the teachings of Christ.

I will never vote for Obama even if he is running against somebody else besides Clinton. Obama supporters just cannot face the truth about their candidate. They began supporting him after hearing him deliver a mind boggling, heart pounding and knee wobbling speech but Do they know anything else about him besides a great speaker? NO. And since they have invested so much time and energy on this arrogant sorry excuse for a candidate there is no turning back for them. Even after everything that came out about him…Wright, William Ayers, Larry Sinclair, Reszko, Farakhan..and yes the infamous “BITTER” comment…They are blinded by this man..they will not accept that something is wrong with Obama. He knew he was not ready to be a candidate…he knew he has so much to learn…and he knew what he and his wife really feels about this country. He knew he was a part of the corrupt dirty Chicago politics…that is how he furthered his political career. He knew that one way or the other his ties to a church with a Black Liberation Theology for 20 years will somehow affect what he thinks of some people in this country. Little by little it’s all becoming clear. I will not put the blame on his supporters. I blame it all on Obama. If he is the democratic nominee…I will abstain from voting.

By the way, I love Annie Oakley!!
Hillary should take this as a compliment.

This isn’t about people being bitter or angry. It is about Obama’s Marxist belief that people ‘cling’ to religion and guns out of bitterness. It was never just about the pastor. It was about Obama’s character and judgment to sit in the church for 20 years listening to the filth, racism and anti-American hatred and subjecting to his innocent daughters to it.
Obama is a divider as in order to save himself from the pastor controversy he tried to DIVIDE us on ‘race’. Now with his ‘bitter small-townies’ controversy, he is trying to DIVIDE us on ‘economic inequalities’.
WAKE up AMERCIA. HOW CAN THIS MAN BE AN UNITER? Obama is scary. He is like a wolf inside a sheep’s skin.

geevil,,,Yes, this black voter is still voting for Obama, as a matter of fact I have canvassed for him for the last 4 weeks. I am sorry that I don’t buy ythat crap you are preaching. I will support Obama all the way until November beacsue he will be that nom. Sorry, I guess have not let reality set in.

He is sooooooooooooooooooooooooooo arrogant. And, he acts like a big baby when he is caught on another one of his lies!!!

chiman – Sounds like you could use some sleep. Your post make no sense.

It’s amazing. Obama didn’t make this “bitter” comment at some rally in front of supporters. He was unknownly taped saying these comments. Which means he was insulting small town Americans at a private and well shrouded fundraiser amongst the rich elite of San Francisco which was in the mansion of Pakistan native and ardently Muslim millionaire Sohaib Abbasi (CEO of Informatica. I guess the MSM forgot to mention that part. To read more of who he actually met and what else he mentioned but failed to be printed or reported by the MSM, Go to..http://savagepolitics.com/?p=279#comments.
Obama is a phoney and a liar. I can not believe the media and his supporters backs him like they do! Time to wake up and see who Obama REALLY is. I am not saying Clinton or McCain in any better but they are better then his guy and his racist wife.

Obama has come a long way without having to say a word of substance. Perhaps due to his easy road he has traveled thus far he began to believe in his own invincibility. That certainly appears to have been the case when he addressed the elitist San Francisco crowd and belittled the mainly white people who live in small towns across America.

Grasping at straws comes to mine here; Obama is an ego maniac and very arrogant Politician. Until recently, change has turned in Words, just Words…. We in small town America have figured this out more than a month ago! His rock star status and fame just went to his head and let him show us the truth of who he really is! The whole Rev Wright issue only confirmed it. What the Obama supporters and the media don’t get or the DNC for that matter, it is not about Rev. Wright or his views, as wrong as they may be. It is about how Obama handled that issue which was so reveling. It was the same with the Canadian issue. It wasn’t the issue as much as the lies and smooth smug answers and never taking responsibility that we find unfit in a Presidential candidate.
It is the same over and over again. Under the bus, Typical white, didn’t know about statements, not there, Ok knew about but was not in church, Only 5, Ok dozens, Ok general trend, I would have left but retiring, No meeting took place, ok a meeting took place but not about NAFTA, Ok NAFTA was mentioned but no talk of campaign rhetoric, on and on it goes! Farrakhan, Avery, McCulkin, William Ayers. This list is getting rather long isn’t it? NOW WE HAVE BITTER SMALL TOWN LAZY WHITE FOLK WHO ARE GUN TOTEN RELIGION LOVING RACIST……..
We the Democratic voters will make a statement if Obama becomes the nominee; this man is losing his electability as each day goes by. We the people (the Democratic base) will vote for McCain if Obama gets the Nominee. For a year that would seem virtually impossible for the Democrats to lose an election is becoming more evident each day that goes by. I would strongly hope the DNC makes the right choice. If not, we have 2012 to look forward to. By that time maybe Florida and Michigan will not be disenfranchised. It’s a sad time in Politics for a Democratic Voter………

Richard, why is that you Obama supporters call people who don’t agree with you racists? Is that all you can come up with… how childish… grow up!

The only ones offended by what Obama said are elitist. If they don’t understand why some Americans are bitter, then maybe they shouldn’t be running for president. Go OBAMA!!!
I do not believe any Democrat who says they will vote for McCain in the Fall if their candidate (Clinton OR Obama) does not win. If you say that, you are not a Dem, you’re just stupid. McCain and the Dem candidates are MILES apart.

Hillary is a sham – a con artest who is spending her life convincing people that she is someone she is not.
Obama is genuine.
I am embarrassed that so many people in America who forgot all about the Rose Law Firm, Travelgate, the hearings, the supoeana, the litigation. The Clintons are conartists.
I will vote for Obama. The choice is obvious. It’s impossible for any Clinton to run a campaign of “change”.
Obama 08

@ GC…thanks for your elitist observations as they apply to anyone who doesn’t share your good opinion of Obama.
Keep it up.

The only person in the race that has the same ability to be in touch with America as George W Bush is John McCain.

When Senator Barack Obama does not suddently “get his way” [meaning constant adulation], when his back is pushed up against the wall; he becomes what he constantly claims NOT to be – basically, a “typical politician”. He has now resorted in his “bitter” frustration at being called on his elitest, innane remarks by Senator Clinton and Senator McCain to simple NAME CALLING. “Just look at Senator Clinton, she’s acting like shes Annie Oakley!”. He said in a mocking tone while laughing. What a loser.

BITTER???? Obama is smarter than too many want to admit. He has not spoken to me one on one or in a group but I interpret it as saying in one word what I read and feel: I am tired of people pissing on my back and telling me that it is raining.To add to that I am angry at te burgeioning run amock cost of a war that is baseless and gasoline prices that are killing the working class that has to make up for the thoughtless spending.

I will vote republican for the first time in my life if Obama wins the nomination.
NOBAMA:
Wright
Ayers
Michelle
Farrakahn
Rezko
Wake up “typical white people” who apparently cling to religion (as if it was a bad thing) and guns and become hatefull towards people that are different and immigrants and gays because you are so bitter… LOL…
Wow, I thought “typical white people” went to church because they had faith and I thought hunting was a sport… guess I was fooled and Obama has opened my eyes.

What everybody seems to be missing is that many of us in PA *are* bitter. And the Clintons are part of the reason why!

To Carol from AR: I am also from AR and quite proud of that fact. However, I completely disagree with you when it comes to Ms. Hillary. I’ve had many years now to study her in action, and it blows my mind how she can be trusted about anything, period.
I once said that if Barack Obama were not nominated to represent our party in the presidential election I would turn my full support to Hillary. I have since changed my mind because of how she has played this all and like a child displays, “If I can’t have it, then I’ll take all the toys and go home.” That leaves us of us “children” to wonder what happened to make her so po’ed. I call it “elitist.”
Since I could never in good conscience trip to the Repug side and vote for Grandpa McCain, I would sit this one out rather than vote for another Clinton.

Obama is unelectable. Just go away and take your bitter wife and racist pastor with you. Please just go away.

The fact that the “elitist” stereotype seems to stick to liberals more than conservatives has always amazed in its inaccuracy. Seriously I want someone to actually make the case that George W. Bush is “one of us” (or even McCain for that matter) while Obama is not. Do you think the “I call you my Base” speech was made up?
To be frankly honest running for President tends to make people a little different from most. Even those who have followed the Lincoln-esque path and started from humble beginnings are now aspiring for the highest office in the land; sounds a little non-average to me.
Beyond the “elitist” perception I believe there is an important point here. We ALL (liberal and conservative) have hot button issues which will grab are attention. There is nothing inherently wrong with those issues; they can range from vital to trivial. It’s simply a fact that sometimes these issues can distract us from considering OTHER issues (even if those issues only deserve their share of a portion of our attention). I believe Obama was simply pointing to some of these “hot buttons” and accidentally actually pressed one of them.

Obama and his Church and his Rev. Wright HATE White people and Jews.WHat more do you need to know?

Obama and his supporters think that if someone does not support him they are stupid gun shooting right wing christians. That is terriblly wrong. people should be allowed to do and believe what ever they want to. So Clinton is just saying that it is ok to be who you are no matter what.

He Knew about Wright…
In his 1993 memoir “Dreams from My Father,” Obama recounts in vivid detail his
first meeting with Wright in 1985. The pastor warned the community activist that
getting involved with Trinity might turn off other black clergy because of the
church’s radical reputation.
“What I value most about Pastor Wright is his day-to-day political advice,”
Obama said. “He’s much more of a sounding board for me to make sure that I am
speaking as truthfully about what I believe as possible and that I’m not losing
myself in some of the hype and hoopla and stress that’s involved in national
politics.”

Obama does seem to be out of touch with Americans. (Arugula is expensive!) He didn’t live in America until his teens, he went to Harvard, he lived in So. side of Chicago and was a community activist. Hardly, the typical American.
While I don’t think that his background means he is automatically out of touch with most Americans, his background along with some of his words and actions does cause one to wonder (if they are thinking). I do think Obama is a hypocrit and I certainly wouldn’t have listened for 20 yrs. or taken my children to listen to a preacher who spoke like that unless I bought in to what he was preaching.

Don’t know if you heard the news. Italy just elected back the womenizer Berlusconi over the socialist Prodi who was ousted few months ago because he ran Italy’s economy literally to the ground. Coa!

You know the funny thing about being called bitter is that the louder you shout back that you’re not, the more obvious it becomes that you are….

To all of you saying that Obama is unelectable, I think you are wrong. I’m not voting for him. I’ve been a Republican for the last seven elections and, though sometimes tempted to just vote libetarian or not vote, I will probably vote for McCain. But Obama could win just as easily as Hillary or McCain could. I don’t think anyone other than those 3 has a chance, but any of those three could be the next President. I currently think Obama has a better chance than Hillary as I don’t think she can win the primary without destroying the party – but I could be wrong on that. I guess it bothers me that that so many of you think Obama is unelectable. Is it because of his pastor’s comments? Is it because he said we’re bitter – I am often bitter? Is it because of the whopper he told about when his parents met – that’s nothing compared to some of the whoppers I’ve heard from other politicians. I hope its not because you think our society is too racist to vote for him – there are many conservative to moderate African American Republicans I would vote for. So – why is he unelectable – just curious?

Richard and jmengate: I am not an empty suite like NObama. Here is why NObama can never be our President:
• Obama calls small town hard working Americans – bitter people who cling to religion and guns to express their frustration.
• Obama says – “I would not punish my daughters with babies”
• For 20+years Obama is friends with anti-American, racial radicals like his anti-American Pastor and a former Pentagon bomber – Weather Underground William Ayers and another radical Louis Farrakhan
• Obama voted “Present” to a bill that would stop “Adult Porn Shops” from opening up next to our children’s schools
• Obama knew that his church gave life time achievement award to Farrakhan who says ‘Judaism is a gutter religion’ and also knew that his pastor visited Lyba’s terror monger Gaddaffi.
• In order to come clean he threw his grand mother under the bus. Compared her private statements with his pastor’s public bashing of America, Called his grand mother (who raised him) a ‘Typical White Person’. HOW LOW can you GO?
• Obama does not wear American flag lapel pin, he does not believe in holding his hand on his heart for national anthem.
• Michelle Obama says: For the first time in her adult life she is proud of this country and AMerica is a mean country.
• Obama made statements about NAFTA in Ohio to fool the voters and provided behind the door assurance to Canada that his statements should not be taken seriously.
• Obama requested $1 million in federal funding in 2006 for a new pavilion at the University of Chicago Hospitals where his wife, Michelle Obama, was a vice president at the time and Michell’s salary went up to 320K (from 121K) within weeks after Obama became senator.
• Obama is endorsed by New Black Pather Party which is an extremist hate group
• Lied to American public on national TV that he was never in the pews during the anti-American, non-patriotic statements made by his pastor an in his ‘great speech’ agreed that he was in the pews.
• Obama is involved with Tony Rezko for years even after he knew all about his corruption and ties with the UK’s corrupt businessman who helped terrorists. He admitted recently that Rezko contributed 250K for his presidential bid and not 60K as told by Obama earlier.

Obama is unloyal to the democratic party.He equalized the Bush and Clinton administration in his words during the Claifornia fund raiser and thus putting down his own party.
For the sake of the mighty dollar ? for extra votes.It is truly disturbing !

Would somebody buy the Obamas a ticket to Africa? One way please

I was eight years old and running with a dime in my hand
Into the bus stop to pick up a paper for my old man
Id sit on his lap in that big old buick and steer as we drove through town
Hed tousle my hair and say son take a good look around
This is your hometown, this is your hometown
This is your hometown, this is your hometown
In `65 tension was running high at my high school
There was a lot of fights between the black and white
There was nothing you could do
Two cars at a light on a saturday night in the back seat there was a gun
Words were passed in a shotgun blast
Troubled times had come to my hometown
My hometown, my hometown, my hometown
Now main streets whitewashed windows and vacant stores
Seems like there aint nobody wants to come down here no more
Theyre closing down the textile mill across the railroad tracks
Foreman says these jobs are going boys and they aint coming back to
Your hometown, your hometown, your hometown, your hometown
Last night me and kate we laid in bed talking about getting out
Packing up our bags maybe heading south
Im thirty-five we got a boy of our own now
Last night I sat him up behind the wheel and said son take a good
Look around
This is your hometown

I guess Senator Obama just has to learn how to say “I misspoke.”. That phrase certainly works for Senator Clinton.

This is typical case for Pschycology 101 : The man who lets his own bitterness and hatred manifested his perception upon the others. It is the person who sees himself as hatred and bitter.It is not his own image in the mirror that is at fault.

I am really enjoying this. OBAMA is fighting back. Hillary just did not want to play nice. Did you see how she put back that whiskey, not one flinch on her face. I tried to drink it one time and could not because it was too strong for me and it really contorted my face. I hope we are not going to put another lush in the white house.
I will be glad when this is over and OBAMA get the nomination. The Clinton camp is getting nervous and hanging on to his every word. This is great. GO GET THEM OBAMA 08′

Both men and women drink beer. I dodn’t doubt that Obama drinks beer at barbecues and restaurants when the cameras aren’t around. But downing a beer and a whiskey as Clinton did is really pushing the limits of credibility of “being one of the guys”.

Here is one more ‘Obamaism’. Check it out.
http://elections.foxnews.com/2008/04/09/mccain-set-to-take-the-federal-financing-plunge/
Talk is cheap for him. Obama agreed to abide by Federal Funding of campaigns last fall when it made him look good. And now he is silent about it when it comes to owning up to who he says he is and to what he has said he will do. “Typical Obama hot air’.

I can understand that Americans can be upset, angry and even bitter about their financial situations at this time, but to claim that that is the reason they have religion or guns is pathetic.
I’m down in my luck right now, but that does not make me want to hate people that are different, immigrants, gays or others for that matter. Only the ignorant or those who have ill will in their hearts will hold those kinds of feeling toward.
Americans are strong good hearted, hard working people and I found his comment to be very, very offensive.

Keith: I would assume you are one of the OBAMA zombies who can not swallow truth and like Obama think they are the elitist and smartest folks on the earth and look down on others. This shows the class of OBAMA and his followers. But we average AMericans are NOI stupid to get carried away by a speech given by this empty suite – NObama. Get real.

Jo. It always helps if your facts are straight. Marx called religion the opiate of the masses and Marx was also of a Jewish / Lutheran family.

Instead of apologizing to the hardworking Americans he offended, he chooses an arrogant way to blame it on his rivals and try and mislead Americans through his usual smoke and mirror tactics to hide the real issue.
This isn’t about people being bitter or angry. It is about Obama’s Marxist belief that people ‘cling’ to religion and guns out of bitterness. It was never just about the pastor. It was about Obama’s character and judgment to sit in the church for 20 years listening to the filth, racism and anti-American hatred and subjecting to his innocent daughters to it.
Obama is a divider as in order to save himself from the pastor controversy he tried to DIVIDE us on ‘race’. Now with his ‘bitter small-townies’ controversy, he is trying to DIVIDE us on ‘economic inequalities’.
WAKE up AMERCIA. HOW CAN THIS MAN BE AN UNITER? Obama is scary. He is like a wolf inside a sheep’s skin.

Jimmy Carter is an Obama supporter and will meet with Hamas!
Do you Americans know that Barrack Obama’s campaign is getting help from the terrorist organization Hamas!
Here is the proof!

HRC supporters, please read: “Unlimited Access” by Gary Aldrich. You need to know what “wonders” she brought to the white house and how she earned her “experience”. LOL.
God Bless America & God Bless our Troops

clinton did address the same group – and was roundly booed for trying to get negative on Obama. Will this not teach her? Voters are not fooled by Clinton-spin anymore, we know what Obama meant and what he means; he will win the election by a landslide. All Hillary can do is make herself look foolish – but what else is new?

Jackt51 – you are the dumb one…go and be friends with Obama and his friendly associates, William Ayers (be a domestic terrorist…and while you are at it start going to Wrights church and listen to Black Liberation Theology…and on your free time..you can start taking drugs with Larry Sinclair and Obama and talk about the bitter America. You are the dumb one if you still don’t see thru this Obamajoke.

Reading some of these comments about Obama further supports my belief that he is correct about this country’s middle class whites being bitter because someone looks different from them. Obama is African American technically (based on a white man’s definition) but his mother was white and she raised him along with his white grandparents. He spent very little time with his African father. He has struggled and has emerged into a magnificent human being, white or black. He stands for something far superior to what Hillary and McCain are offering. I cannot believe you people have bought into what Hillary and McCain are espousing. You are pathetic. You are so racist in your comments that you have presented under the guise of politics. Look in the mirrow and tell me you whites that are somewhat downtrodden aren’t jealous and resentful that a black man has emerged into a brilliant, yet man of humble means. He is trying to make this world better for all of us. Don’t you get it middle white America? You are probably descendants of James Earl Ray.

I don’t see anything wrong with his “bitter” comment. Americans that work in certain industries have been given the shaft and they have every right to be angry and bitter, and ARE. I know quite a few of them and it’s an accurate representation from my shoes. Hillary is correct as well in her view that these people have rolled up their sleeves and stepped up to the plate in order to keep things rolling in their life. They are hardworking people – who deserve more.
I don’t think Obama is an elitist – on ANY level. Although, I don’t think people are used to his way of presenting things – which I find refreshing.
And all those out there who think the only people for Obama are young or black – wake up. It’s not true. Many WHITE, older, highly educated people want Obama.
Whatever happens – I’m voting Democrat. Hillary or Obama. Don’t care – whichever camp you are in, I hope you do the same.

Now, he puts the middle class down!
\I think Obama himself is bitter because his church and his wife is bitter!
Also i want every Jew to know that Hamas has been heavily campaigning for Obama!
If you are Jewish you should NOT vote for Obama!
Obama is getting help from Hamas!

People keep trying to relate Obama’s difficulties to Clinton.That is a separate issue entirely. I’m sure they will do the same to McCain should he face him. The simple fact is that Obama and his church have now stereotyped Whites, Italians,Jews,rural people and gun owners. That is not the way people win elections and more seasoned politicians know that. He is proving the point that many have made before, he is simply not ready for primetime.

Jimmy carter and Obama are the same thing!
Jimmy Carter meets with hamas and Obama accepts help from hmaas for his campaign!

Keith,
Thank you for correcting my misinformation. Be that as it may, splitting hairs between Marx and Stalin is academic. The bottom line is that B. Hussein Obama/Marx/Stalin is an elitist, and he let it slip. The parallels between him and the dictators of the early 20th century are truly frightening. Can no one see this? Or do we, as some have suggested, just close our eyes and drink the koolaid?

How many of you backing Obama would be comfortable sitting for 20 years in his church?

Jimmy carter and Obama are the same thing!

ITS TIME FOR BLACKS TO RISE — OBAMA 08!!

Hillary is an abomination, a vessel so completely devoid of integrity and character as to be sub-human, animalistic. Even if Obama can still win in spite of her relentless barrage, I will, from this point forward, donate to the campaign of whatever opposition is running against her. I just don’t want her to gain the nomination for President – I don’t want her to hold office again – and although I am only one, I will do what I can through my contributions to help keep her out of public office forever. She is a blight on humanity.

It honestly bothers me that Obama is so closely tied to the Hamas, and that he and Jimmy Carter want to open up diplomatic relations with them. The Hamas want to destroy Israel, one of America’s allies, God’s chosen people. If Obama is elected to the Presidency, then America will suffer greatly! I hope and pray that he continues to create gaffes in his campaign and that the Obama supporters will wake up and realize the deception he is feeding him. I actually voted for him in our primary, however, this was before the Wright scandal, the Ayers scandel, and the truth about Rezko. Please, Please Obama supporters…do your research, see the evil that lurks behind Obama…….!

OBAMA CAMPAIGN ACCEPTS HELP FROM HAMAS!
HERE IS THE PROOF!
http://atlasshrugs2000.typepad.com/atlas_shrugs/2008/03/pali-gazans-cam.html

Why is it the people that criticize Sen. Obama always mention hate in their posts? Is it because those same people are filled with it? Please stop your fear-mongering and let this nation heal. Obama ’08.

Obama’s mistake was being honest about ignorant people. Not *all* small town people – the ignorant ones. Look at the polls with who voted for Clinton in OH. Some of them were people who admitted to pollsters that they wouldn’t vote for a black man.
I’ve heard the same type of igorant people in a town hall complain about immigrants. They were caucasian. I wonder if it occurred to them that someone was probably bitter and griping about their immigrant ancestors.
Obama’s mistake is not being elite – it’s in thinking hope and action would appeal to everyone. Clearly for some ignorance is bitter bliss.

Why can’t you people let the Dr Wright story go away? I never heard this much rhetoric when the Priests molested the children.Obama isn’t the hypocrit, you racist americans are..

I find it ironic that bitterness seemed to drive Obama to sit in a hate filled church. He seems to assume that the same feeling is what drives others to their religion.

Wow I have never been on here before and a lot of ya’ll seem to have bitterness about obama I’m not sure why he is a good man at least he has a church and a new pastor rev wright is no longer and obama has apologized more than twice about his comments about small towns. Please get over it.I won’t come on here again about of bitterness people that need the lord.
Wow I’m sure the republicans are laughing every time a democrat bashes obama it helps the republicans every time. When someone is down god lifts them up to victory I hope a huge upset happens in Pennsylvania and Clinton drops out.. Won’t come back to this devilish board.

Thanks for the link to savage politics Chris: so Obama was at a secret San Francisco fundraiser at the home of highly devout Sunni Muslim Sohaib Abbasi. Obama was talking about small town Americans, especially in PA, IN and NC, and why they do not want to vote for him. Of course the msm won’t report whose house Obama was at, and the other BILLIONAIRES in attendance, but we get the picture that it’s definitely a group of very elite that look down on small town America that is stuck in economic despair and we will never get out. Obama’s friends are starting to look like something out of a scary Hollywood movie, “America taken over from Within”…What happened to the Democratic Party? It’s more elite and rich and crazier than the Republicans!!!

I do not see any of this as being about race or religion so all of you racists and my religion or no religion people please just go away. To me it is about this guy Obama claiming that he can change the world. People there is no evidence that he can do this at all. “YES WE CAN” is not enough for me.

You would think that abc news would know how to spell _Colombia_. On second thought, maybe not.

Will you loon please keep posting the Atlas item about Obama and Hamas. Anyone who actually watches learns a few things. First, the Palestinian youth experience why he supports Obama. So are we generalizes now that all Palestinians are Hamas. Let us be clear here, the US advocated for free elections in Palestine and Hamas was who they chose. Are you also naive enough to beleive that free elections in IRaq are going to yield a pro-US government. Second, the online phone banks that the Obama camp use can be accessed by anyone to call voters in a state with an upcoming primary.

Jeremy — you can say that with a straight face when you guy belittled country folk for not being able to understand the complexity of immigration? Wow!

Let’s see, Clinton is calling Obama an elitest (itself an elitest word} What next, is she going to call him a liar. Was that “shot and a beer” to capture the hearts of PA working class voters? I thought it was the 5th explanation for her Bosnia stories. Has anybody noticed that Obama has at least held constant in the Gallup tracking poll? Of course, such OBJECTIVE measurements like Clitnon being booed for re-iterating her nonsense must be ignored when your job is to parrot the propaganda line

Barack Obama has put a huge segment of American into a BOX. This is what America, in recent generations, has been fighting against. From racism, to sexism, and more, America has FOUGHT to OPEN THOSE BOXES so that we ALL can live with equality and without these stereotypes.
The very last thing we need is a president who could ever THINK these thoughts about middle America. This is a sad day for America. He should not be our president.

I begin by wondering if all of those here who posted to trash any of the current candidates are the same people who also put the current idiot in the White House. Obama, Clinton or McCain would be an improvement over the neoconservatives’ puppet president who has brought more shame and disgrace to this country than 10 Bill Clintons. At least Bill only screwed Monica; Dubbya has screwed the entire country.
That aside, let’s accept the fact that candidates don’t have a lot of choice when it comes to where the cameras follow them, so anything they do can be questioned, and they all make their share of mistakes in the heat of the moment.
As to the teapot tempest of Reverend Wright, unless you’re an American whose ancestors were forcibly removed from their homeland and brought here in slavery and whose descendants suffered through the many inequities of white power and privilege that still exist today, I don’t think you’re in a position to question how this country, this United States of White America, might look. If you’re ignorant to think that it’s a level playing field for everyone, I pity you.
Part of the problem is the need for candidates to establish their religious credentials, as if claiming to be a Christian or a person of faith was a short cut to declaring and defining yourself as a moral person. Looking at all of the wrongs done to others who claimed to be good Christians (or Jews, or Muslims, or Hindus, etc.), any reasonable person would conclude that claiming religious faith has almost no impact on one’s morality and actions. Just ask the born-again Christian on Pennsylvania Avenue who endorses torture, has taken from the poor to give to the rich, has been spendthrift with the lives of the children of others, and who has repeatedly lied and deceived the American populace. So hell yeah, let’s get us some more good Christians to run things!

Jackt51 – hahahahahahha…Did that hurt? Truth hurts. I bet you did not even know who those people are. You are the dumb one.

Aston, how on earth did you get THAT out of what Obama said?

He is a bitter man. No question about it.

Wait a minute people, Obama’s grandmother use to shoot guns and curse out immigrants whenever she was bitter. So now you all know that he really does understand you.

jock59801
Not by what he’s said. Everyone knows that changes with the wind. Rather, by the things he’s done and the friends he’s kept.

To the guy who said Obama can ‘forget about the Edwards endorsement now’, the only question is: who cares? Edwards is a two-time Presidential candidate loser. He garnered barely 15% of the vote. He crusaded for what he called ‘war on poverty and against corporate interests’. The mere fact that he’s even CONSIDERING endorsing THE corporate candidate, Hillary Rodham (don’t forget her middle name, now- she’s a working woman, dontcha know…) Clinton eliminates all of Edwards’ credibility to be a ‘man of the people’ as his carefully-crafted lawyer-derived populist rhetoric would have us all believe. He’s a loser. No one cares who the great John Edwards wants. The truth is, this thing is just about over and Obama will be the nominee. Hillary will just keep saying the next state is her ‘stop-gap’. Or, Bill will say it. You know, none of us really understand who is running; Bill or Hillary? In the words of Cartman: Go home, Hillary! Nobody likes you!

If the Democratic party wants to write off this election they can go ahead and nominate this idiot, I mean Obama!
But my vote will go to John McCain than!

Obama is a Uniter like Bush was Compassionate!

To all ‘bitter’ fellow Americans on this blog: Do you belive that you will ‘cling’ to religion and guns because you are bitter? This is what OBAMA said which proves his line of thinking is ‘scary’ and out of touch

BOOHILLARY, She was heckled by a few brain washed Obama people. Clink on and tune out reality

Obama as a problem with average white people.
Why,
He sees us as all the same.
Sound familure?
In his latest comments the media is just skimming over. They are too busy posting his excuses and lies in response to the comments.
He said this.
The average blue collar worker is tired of hearing empty promises, especially if it is comming from a Black man like himself.
He assumes that all these people have a problem with him being Black.
He brought up the race issue again.
Let’s see now.
His wife is not proud of America until a black man is a possible nomination for pres.
His pastor cusses white people and America, but he doesn’t relate to that yet he went to the church for 20 yrs.
He says “Typical white person” and tells us what they think. Which was far from the truth.
He called Bill and Ferraro racist before elections with high black vote.
He now says that the blue collar worker does not want to hear empty promises from politicians especially a Black man like him. The crowd laughed which I think is pathetic.
He is making a racial divide.
1. Why would he bring up the fact he is Black, sounds like he is trying to blame racism on his lack of support in PA and Ohio.
2. Once again he lumps all these white people into one category and then makes an unfounded statement about how they react to the pressures of our econimic state.
Of course he is now lieing and trying to spin how good religion is when he was obvoioulsy putting these people down. He puts WORDS in their mouths then comments on the words he put there.
How many times must he make the statements that show his lake of faith in white America.
His speaches say different then his actions.
He said these words and now does not stand behind them.

“to all those fools here who disagree with what obama said: you’re all idiots”…….seems like obama’s elitist attitude has been well-received by his followers….

The big problem with this country is that we are a collection of people not a nation. People have the idea that if things get bad here thay will move to somewhere else. Thus there is no incentive to keep things prosperous, only looking for the present day.

Tom- yeah, because Edwards was obviously the choice of the electorate. Twice. Glad YOU can still afford to live in NYC because there has been a large number of people that can no longer do that. As long as you have YOUR money, right, Tom? I mean, that’s the name of the game, right? Who cares about anyone else, right? There’s no recession in Tom’s stock portfolio. And ol’ Annie Oakley is going to show us dumb middle-classers how she hunts and drinks expensive Canadian whiskey now. And then she’ll tell us about how we’re not bitter and how she’s such a church-goer and that if it were up to her, she would have left Obama’s church a long time ago, but she would have stayed with a husband who made a fool out of her, right? If you’re a Hillary Clinton voter at this point, I have like, 10 bridges I’d like to sell you. You guys will buy anything.

Tom, that wasn’t a handful of folks my friend. That was the general tone. Go watch the coverage on PA television showing the crowd.
She even looks uncomfortable on the platform. Her campaign strategist just made a fatal mistake. The blue collar workers are tough skinned and don’t need a candidate explaining to them what someone else meant. They clearly understood the comments weren’t elitist. A poll today even showed that 76% of the people polled didn’t think the comments were offensive AND 70% said they were accurate. Did Hillary even think to gauge public reaction BEFORE she went on the offensive?
Look, I’m a Republican so I really just enjoy taking shots at them both but honestly Tom, do you really think this was a good strategic move?

Give me a break Hussein Obama! You may fool some of the people some of the time, but you are not going to fool all the people all the time.
If anyone is out of touch with reality, tak a good look at yourself:

Clinton. In fact, you have even taken more money from the top 10 issuers of subprime loans than Sen. Clinton. In 2007 alone, you received $434,420 from the subprime issuers white Clinton received $364,950. [Source: cq.com; USA Today]

So, stop with the empty rhetoric. When you cannot defend your position, you change the argument and attack! Not this time buddy!
Take a nap at the sermon you claim were never party to.
Shame on you Hussein

You know, the problem is to Obama all us white people just look the same, ya know.

Chris, Obama could tell his supporters to drink cyanide laced Kool-ade and it would be well recieved by his followers. A good choice of words though, “followers.” Now off to the promised land you go.

It is really odd when people claim that Obama somehow belittled voters and then say that he should drop out of the race. What is more “belittling” to voters than saying that the candidate YOU don’t like should drop out and not even give the voters a chance to vote?
What’s wrong with letting the voters decide. It’s called democracy.

typical white people are scared of black people, one can only be proud of Americans when they support your husband, religion and individual liberties are only important when people are frustrated, you can make you friends look bad to make yourself look good, its ok to side with your friends over your responsibilities to your constituents, taking money from powerful individuals isn’t the same as taking it from their companies, its ok for your supporters to call those who support your opponent “Uncle Toms”, its ok to harass and intimidate those who don’t support your candidate…..

Barry Lie, LOL. Shame on you. Just because the man has purple lips does not mean he is toasted. No really, this dude needs a tele-prompter and a team of writers by his side whenever he is out in the public to prevent any more ” mis-spoke” incident. It is a long and windy road from now untill November, brother OB.

Tejasoutlaw, are you going to post that same lame and inaccurate comment on every blog? You’ve now posted that on every blog on ABCnews AND you continue to change your screen name.
When you get back to campaign headquarters tell Hillary I said hello and goodbye.

The Obama supporters just don’t get it. The bitter part is not the problem. The problem was with the rest of his statement. But you will never get that across to a bunch of blind, brainwashed fools.

LADIES! IT’S HAPPY HOUR! TIME FOR A SHOT AND A BEER. SEE YOU AT THE LOCAL BAR. Hubby can stay home, watch Obama make a full of himself over his stupidity, and watch the kids to boot!)
Wiskey, please! Not understanding women can be added to Obama’s list of misunderstandings!

Hillary and Bill may have made a lot of money since they left the white house, but Hillary has been working hard as a senator, and they donated $10 million to charity! Obama donated less than 1% of his income to charity, and $27,500.00 went to his racist church that is building a mansion for Rev. Wright, plus giving Rev. Wright a $10 million line of credit!! The racist Rev. is getting rich!!! While he preaches about “white people” keeping black people down and Obama explains to all of his BIILIONAIRE donors what is wrong with small town Americans!!! Obama is bitter that he can’t go off to the Virgin Islands and just chill until the convention with all of his millions and millions….

obama wants to be president for the glory – he hasn’t a clue what he would actually do as president nor is that important to him – hillary has a clue and hillary is a doer – she in fact is not as good a talker or as savvy a campaigner as obama is but she has the ability to prevail and get things done – who would you hire to work for you if you had something that needed doing – i would hire hillary in a heartbeat – for obama to have such a need for such a big job tells me this is a deeply insecure person – i can imagine hillary rolling up her sleeves helping me clean my house or run my business – i can’t imagine obama doing anything that does not serve him first foremost and only – obama is on a massive eqo trip – it is his drug – he like all drug addicts doesn’t care for anything other than getting high – in his case the drug is ‘high office’ -

Give me a break Hussein Obama! You may fool some of the people some of the time, but you are not going to fool all the people all the time.

david from texas….obama can’t denounce those that support him!…

THINGS I LIKE ABOUT OBAMA:
(1) The way he lifts his head and looks down his nose at people.
(2) The way he stutters when he tries to explain away the stupid things he says.
(3) The way he slings mud at anyone who suggests is solution-challenged.
(4) The long string of shady characters he’s embraced.
(5) His wife who got a $100K/year raise after Obama earmarked a million for her hospital.
I could go on my fingers couldn’t handle all the typing I’d have to do.

Obama may have been brought up with a mother using food stamps but he has tasted the good life and now he thinks he is better than a “blue collar worker”

Typical – you must scare easily

It’s amazing how easily manipulated the American people are. All this “fluff and stuff” about bitter, guns, etc., etc., etc. is just a way to Swift Boat the person who is presently on top. And it’s even more amazing that the media continues to give this non-story more life. Maybe Americans really are unable to think for themselves and need the media to figure it out for us. Of course, that’s this week. By next week we’ll be on the bandwagon about some other obscure comment. Oh, by the way, our young people are still dying in Iraq. Shouldn’t we be discussing that instead?

Give me a break Hussein Obama! You may fool some of the people some of the time, but you are not going to fool all the people all the time.

Obama – This country does not deserve you. So i would say drop out and no need to sweat for such third class voters.
One thing is clear. Americans do not like honest politicians who like to be upfront, but which also means they can mistakes while speaking.
They want politicians who create a carefully crafted image using expensive pollsters and from years of triangulation. They do not want a bold leader, they need a rotten politican who knows how to keep fooling most of the people, most of the time.

Naw, I am a pretty tough b(tch.

Danny – Political Whore…where on earth did you get that from? You should start singing…”If I only had a brain”…grow up!!!! That is the most stupid thing I have ever heard…besides the “bitter” comment by Obama…you should start wording your comments better just like Obamajoke.

THE DEMOCRATS NEED FLORIDA
On today’s Rasmussen web page, we learn that “If McCain is matched against Hillary Clinton, the race is a toss-up—Clinton 45% McCain 44%. ”
On the other hand, a “telephone survey in Florida shows McCain attracting 53% of the vote while Obama earns 38%”

Tejas: Yeah, that’s it. I mean, I’m just a dumb robot Obama supporter from one of those heathen cities, right? Not like you down-home folk who know how it REALLY is, right? Let me clue YOU in on something- I’m a white male. Clintons are white. Do you really think that I’m offended when Barack Obama says ‘typical white person’? Think about that for a second without wetting your pants in anticipation of responding. I am a middle-class guy who worked his way through school and joined the Army to serve. And you think that I’m not tough enough to understand what he meant when he said ‘bitter middle class’? We ARE bitter, you genius! Our jobs have been sold off! Our homes have been foreclosed upon! Our pensions are gone from corporate raiding! Our Politicians are pedophiles and criminals! And you think that Obama is going to hurt my feelings by just DESCRIBING how we feel? It was a description! What did you WANT him to say? Did you want him to say ‘oh, everything is GREAT in middle America! It’s peachy! God bless America and all that!’ Are you out of your MIND? Why is Obama getting flack for DESCRIBING how we really feel?

I have also heard that if Obama does not win then the riots will start all over the country! Is this what the media and Pelosi are afraid of! If the blacks do riot it will just confirm their racists atitudes instilled by people like Rev Wright! Too bad the Rev can’t get deported somewhere for saying his anti American beliefs!

Give me a break Hussein Obama! You may fool some of the people some of the time, but you are not going to fool all the people all the time.

To Danny,
Obama is a PIMP, he will say and do whatever you Obama liberals make you feel GOOD.

Furthermore, the ignorant ass that called Clinton a whore should be ashamed of her/himself!! Disgusting!

Rosemary Storaska: Democratic women for McCain? Thanks. You’ve just demonstrated that Hillary and McCain have a lot more in common than Hillary does with Democrats. That makes her a Republican. And, you’ve also demonstrated that Hillary and her supporters support our continued involvement in Iraq. I’ll pass that along the guys in my platoon and my company- they’ll be glad to hear it.

michafiath – If you think criticizing America is “anti-American,” and that people should be deported for doing so, then that is just about the UN-American thing I have ever heard.

Doug, I believe that McCain will end the war sooner than you think. I will vote for him if Hillary is not the nominee, because I believe that obama is wrong for america.

From Politico.com:
Barack Obama’s flip side revealed
By CARRIE BUDOFF BROWN | 4/13/08 3:19 PM EST Text Size:
Candidate’s remarks on small town America were an off-key note from a politician who has rocketed to the top by being brilliantly on-key.

Barack Obama’s remarks on small town America were an off-key note from a politician who has rocketed to the top by being brilliantly on-key.
At the same time, the comments were not a total departure: On the campaign trail, Obama can reveal moments of aloofness or tone deaf reactions that belie his image as the epitome of polished.
At 46, Obama carries a political persona that draws on many origins. He is the son of a single mother who grew up middle class in Hawaii and worked as a community organizer in the poorest neighborhoods of Chicago. But he is also the Harvard Law Review president who knows well — occasionally too well — that he is smart and successful.
Part of the appeal to many Democrats is an intellect that allows him to discuss difficult issues with sophistication and candor, as he did in Philadelphia with his speech on race. But his remarks at a private San Francisco fundraiser amplified the flip side of his personal manner, a sort of freestyle rhetorical approach sometimes better suited for a dorm room bull session.
Obama fielded almost identical questions from the donors in San Francisco as he does from voters across the country. Yet his answers in the more intimate — and in his view, off the record — gathering were a bit more revealing.
Asked what he would seek in a running mate, Obama said despite the conventional wisdom, he wouldn’t need somebody with military expertise because “foreign policy is the area where I am probably most confident that I know more and understand the world better than Sen. Clinton or Sen. McCain.”
And then there was the question from donors who asked what they could expect in Pennsylvania when they traveled there to campaign for him. They had to work to do, Obama responded, because voters in a lot of the communities feel beaten down by job losses and betrayed by their government.
“It’s not surprising then they get bitter, they cling to guns or religion or antipathy to people who aren’t like them or anti-immigrant sentiment or anti-trade sentiment as a way to explain their frustrations,” Obama said.
The remarks, recorded at the Sunday fundraiser by a Huffington Post blogger and published Friday, opened a fresh round of scrutiny about Obama’s ability to connect with blue-collar workers.

Obama gaffe undermines Dem outreach
“What I found to be most revealing was that these remarks were made several thousand miles from us, at a very expensive fundraising campaign event in a very upscale location where he did not think any of us were going to hear what he would say,” said Harrisburg Mayor Stephen R. Reed, a Clinton supporter. “It invites the question of what else does this candidate think about all the different people who make up our redder, diverse nation.”
David Axelrod, Obama’s chief strategist, pointed to the senator’s expressions of regret for the way he phrased his remarks.
“Did he choose his words poorly? Yes,” Axelrod said. “Does it reflect something larger? Absolutely not. Those who are trying to portray it that way are disingenuous.”
Indeed, he has won liberal states and conservative states, wealthy states and poor states. And he has been masterful at attracting millions of new voters and donors to the Democratic Party, and building fierce loyalty within his campaign operation and among his legions of supporters with a message of bridging racial, religious and cultural divides.
But for all of the pitch-perfect performances over the past 15 months, Obama can come across as detached at moments when he should identify, as scolding when he should allow incidents to roll off his back, as misunderstood when he says one thing but means another.
At a New Hampshire roundtable in December, Obama betrayed little emotion as one participant sobbed while describing her situation: She lost her job on her 65th birthday, struggles to afford her $2,900 monthly prescription drug costs, and lives in 30-year-old trailer where the thermostat is set at 64 degrees.

Please give me a break, is alcohol legal or what, so what they had a beer or a shot, do we really care about what is going on in this world, or are we sandboxes playing forever.

I have been amazed at how many anti-Obama comments I have seen on here, a first on a blog. I wondered why??? So, just to test my theory of someone PLANTING comments, trash and lies on this site, I’ve just sent in several e-mails, different names, different comments, just to see if (and how fast) they’d be posted. Swishhh…….fast, real fast! This blog is phony and a waste of my time.

People PLEASE! Why can’t we stick to the issues that are important? Like the economy, health care, and bringing our troops home. Anyone with 2 ounces of intelligence knows that Clinton is using character assination because she knows she’s losing. When Sen. Obama made the statement, he was not being elitist, he has no reason to be. But Clinton and McCain have been raised elitist. they are the ones born with a silver spoon in their mouths. Look at the money Hillary and McCain have in comparision to Obama, then decide who’s elitist.
As far as Pastor Wright goes, take time to look at the entire video. He was quoting a “WHITE MAN” when he made the remarks. And if he wasn’t, he is not Barack Obama. My Pastor and I disagree on many things, but as long as he preaches the unadulterated Word of God, I’m not going anywhere. We have had big fights (I even called him a little hitler about 20 years ago, to his face) and we still laugh about that. I believe he was a republican until this year. My Pastor always put white people above blacks and I surely didn’t like that. But it hasn’t made me leave the church.
Those of you who are so into this character assination have always wanted Clinton anyway, so you’re ready to jump on anything she says against Obama. But he doesn’t need your votes. He already has the votes he needs. Those of us who are for him will not change our minds because of Clinton’s rantings. God Bless Obama!

Both of clinton and Obama is just giving the presidency to McCain because the people who support Obama will never support clinton and vice versa for Clinton supporters. They are just handing everything to McCain with this in fighting and show that they can’t even get along with those in their own party. I am a democrat who supported Obama but right now McCain is looking more interesting.

Also, if you click on a poster’s name, you can see that the same people post the same thing over and over. This is the most anti-Obama site ever. Even Fox viewers like Obama more than the five posters who work this site all day.

From Los Angeles Times:
The first fresh poll results from Pennsylvania are in since Barack Obama’s “bitter” comments about people in small towns exploded as a news story, and the findings could hardly be worse for the Democratic presidential contender.
Intriguingly, the man in charge of the survey said interviews with voters indicate Obama’s tumble in the state has more to do with what the candidate himself has said were ill-chosen words than anything else.
The new poll by American Research Group — conducted Friday, Saturday and Sunday — gave Clinton 57% and Obama 37% (based on interviews with 600 Democrats, the survey has an error margin of plus-or-minus 4 percentage points). The 20-point margin is all the more dramatic because, just the week before, an ARG poll found the pair in a flat-out tie in Pennsylvania, each with 45%.

To Jock, when anyone wants to “GOD DAMN AMERICA” then they are the anti-Americans. There are a lot of us who believe this is the best country in the world and are proud to be Americans! If the REV with his million dollar house has it so bad in America…THEN LEAVE.. he is anti American and he hates the white people. You like that? then go with him!!

Danny is a “typical” Obama supporter!

Sen. Obama made a fool of himself once again by denigrating blue collar workers and saying that “small-town voters are foolishly clinging to guns, religion and anti-immigration sentiments because they are bitter about Washington’s unfulfilled economic promises.” His controversial remarks were rebuked by many Americans who feel that Obama’s words are demeaning. Read the details.
The American Research Group says this morning that its latest poll shows Clinton ahead 57%-37%. The survey of 600 Democratic primary voters was begun Friday and completed on Sunday. Read more.

I believe what Barack Obama said about keeping your Bible and your gun handy for use is probably dead on. Everyone I hear speaking has a distrust for government and a fear for what the future holds. I do not see anything elitest about this. Anyone who doesn’t realize these anxieties among the general population doesn’t mingle much!

Then why is Obama taking so much money from sub prime lenders who are kicking American homeowners out on the street?

I knew CNN and MSNBC would put the spin on for Barack and his statement. To focus on the word “bitter” is wrong – Please focus on the real problem with the statement “cling to their guns and religion”.
Obama is a smart ass mocking Hillary when she told how she was taught to shoot behind the shed. Well, I guess I am an Annie Oakley too. I am a 59 year women, who was taught by an uncle and my father how to shoot at a very early age. NOT OUT OF BITTERNESS, but it was a cultural thing passed on in rural Illinois. It is still happening in our family.
To say I hate Barack Obama is an understatement. He is so disconnected and out of touch with REAL Americans – it makes me sick.
We need to CLING TO OUR RELIGION right now, and pray/pray/pray to get this guy out of the election.
HILLARY 08

Please people – at least let’s get the terminology correct. “Elitist” has little or nothing to do with money. It has to do with the idea that a certain CLASS of people have the right – because of their perceived superiority -to be entitled to special treatment and/or that they know “better” than others because of thier position or class distiction. Many Marxists are intellectual elitists with paltry incomes.

jAMES
The phony alcohol issue is proof positive that Obama’s followers have nothing good to say about their candidate. Mudslingers all!

Maybe if he said the bitter thing 3 times like Hillary talked about snipers in Bosnia and McBush misspoke about shitties and sunnis then you could say it was true…BUT he said it once therefore it was a misstatment.

Dough – How are you and your younger generation going to work it out? Unions have overloaded corporates needing to cut back on costs from healthcare/fixed benefits, free trade works both ways so cancel NAFTA/CAFTA/etc (how do you get out of that diplomatic mess w/Canada and Mexico) & then how do you deal w/rising costs of goods?, China/India have well-educated/growing middle-class – how do you keep US businesses focused on shrinking US markets (prices rise, people spend less), the credit crisis is still unfolding like a house of cards w/more bad news from Wall Street sure to come but how will you help out real people, and how do you get out of Iraq without letting Iran in and thereby causing the MidEast spiral to keep spiralling? Of – and how do you do it all at the same time? Since you and Obama have the answers – pls share.

Jeremiah may have said some very stupid things but an Anti-American he wasn’t. He left college to joint the US Marines, because of a great American man name John F. Kennedy. Additionally he served on Lyndon B. Johnson’s medical staff. And he received letters of commendation for his service. Sounds like a true American man to me. He wasn’t saying “God Damn America” because he hates America. He was saying it directed at this current president. Either it was stupid, but he’s served this country more than many in this blog room.

Yea look at how successful the labeling of democrats as elite was…It gave us Bush I and Bush II…Do you really want a McBush III???

Danny – I am an asianamerican..and yes I am so sorry to say that I am not as fluent in English as you are. I grew up in a third world country and English is not my first language. You are arrogant just like Obama. It’s okay but I will not go down on your level and call someone a WHORE. Do you even know any other language? I know 3 languages. Are you now saying that because I speak broken English that I don’t have the right to post any blogs? Give me a break. I am as much an American as you are.

Doug, if you know so much, why did you join the Army?

The words that Senator Obama used may not have been the best choice. However, the meaning of his statement was very solid. People that have nothing else to have faith in will almost always simply cling to that which they have always known. That is what he means by “Hope” and “Change.” He wants to show the people of this nation that they can hope for something better. They can hope for change that will benefit ALL of us. At the risk of insulting a lot of people of faith, I would like to say that religion is simply something that the human race has developed over time to explain the things in this world that cannot be easily explained. It is the security blanket that some choose to enshroud themselves in because it makes the world make sense. Not to say that’s a bad thing. Everyone has to find meaning in this big mess of a life, but just because you believe in something one way does not make it the undeniable universal truth. Just thought I would vent for a second, sorry.

David from Texas,
He did not critized Jimmy Carter because Carter’s family support him and Obama is waiting for his endorsement.
If Mr Carter did not endorse him he would come out and critize him immediately.

Sen. Obama made a fool of himself once again by denigrating blue collar workers and saying that “small-town voters are foolishly clinging to guns, religion and anti-immigration sentiments because they are bitter about Washington’s unfulfilled economic promises.” His controversial remarks were rebuked by many Americans who feel that Obama’s words are demeaning. Read the details.
The American Research Group says this morning that its latest poll shows Clinton ahead 57%-37%. The survey of 600 Democratic primary voters was begun Friday and completed on Sunday. Read more.
I canont believe what I have been reading on Obama wich his campaign is trying to hide:

See that is where you are completely wrong. I actually support Hillary as much as I do Obama. The problem here is that many people are flat our lying about Obama. Yes it goes both ways. But its more so lies against Obama than they are against Hillary. You know exactly what I’m talking about. I don’t care if you stand up for Hillary or Obama but don’t lie about either one.

Doug,
So you know then that Obama has zero experiance in our national security.

I live in Pennsyvlania and I’m bitter. And I support Senator Obama. I’m not black and I’m not young (so don’t start with the “yuppies and blacks support Obama” stuff). I’m a 49 year old white female who changed my party affiliation in order to vote for Obama in the primary. His ideas, his candor
and his message of unitity make me feel as if “winning” is possible, as if we can conquer, or at least address, the miriad of crippling issues that this country faces. Senator Clinton, with her superior attitude, lack of truthfulness, negative approach and win-at-all-costs tactics, makes me feel like a loser.

GET A LIFE! THIS IS GUTTER PRESS AND THOSE WHO PAY ATTENTION TO THIS LOAD OF GARBAGE REALLY SHOULD GO AND GET A LIFE! THIS IS ALL CHATTER SPREAD BY THE LIKES OF ABC. HILARY IS NOTHING BUT A POWER-HUNGRY LYING POLITICIAN WHO IS IN THE RACE KNOWING FULL WELL SHE IS A LOSER. HER CAMOPAIN IS MORIBUND AND CHATTER LIKE THIS IS SIMPLY PROLONGING THE AGONY.

babs101
I see it’s the feel good you get. The obama high and feel good. These are interesting issues you vote on.

Bitter voter: I also am voting for Obama because people like you support Hillary. You can tell a lot about a candidate by the people voting for them. And you just tried to set me up as an ‘Obamabot’ and attempted to make me look like I was not in-depth knowledgeable on policy and thereby only supporting Obama because I am ‘smitten’ in some way by his rhetoric and unable to think for myself. I don’t like how Hillary and her supporters appeal to the lowest common denominator and try to scare people at every turn. I don’t like how she is constantly twisting the words of her opponent and using them in a disingenuous way to her advantage simply to win an election. She often acts ruthlessly and I don’t surround myself with people without conscience.

Obama would probably eat a frog if he thought by doing so, voters would vote for him. Bitterness has nothing to do with guns and religion. Guns are for hunting and protection and religious faith is a part of life in good times and bad and has nothing to do with being bitter. A good example of bitterness for Obama would have been Rev. Wright sermons and his church. Now, that’s bitter. Obama is out of touch with working class people.

- Michelle Obama trumpets Obama as “the second coming of the messiah,” and also states that she “has NEVER been proud to be an American in her adult life”.
This is VERY SCARY!!!!!

Doug, you do not have a master’s degree in anything. If you did, you would show more knowlege in your post.

Harry E Knee – Eat a frog? What the heck are you talking about?

S- So your guilt by association thing applies to Rev Wright because I would totally agree with you on that! Im not sure your angle but since you took offense about having a McBush III term I would have to assume you are a republican…Do you really want to get into a policy dicussion with a democrat from either side? Do you want to talk about the GOP unchristian sink or swim policy? Do you want to talk about the war crimes Bush/Cheney trials we will be having in February 2009 while we end the war with honor? Do you want to talk about the GOP’s total ignorance on Global Warming and where your grandchildren are going to live when the Planet is destroyed so Bush could get rich on oil?? I dont think you do so you might want to plead the 5th or find some delusional Hillary supporter to pick on…Because when our fight is over you GOPers who have destroyed our country will be in the cross hairs and you will have 2 choices….Join us to fix this country or be banished to the margins.

Did anyone notice the flip flop Obama did on the Compassion Forum last night on Gore? He said he thought Gore won.
Declined to support move to question 2004 presidential election
In October 2004, in the third and final debate, U.S. Senate contenders Barack Obama and Republican candidate Alan Keyes were asked to answer “yes” or “no” as to whether they would eliminate the Electoral College. Obama said “yes”, that he would.[1]
After joining the U.S. Senate in January 2005, Sen. Obama’s first action was to decline to be the Senate co-sponsor of a move to question Ohio’s Electoral College votes following the 2004 presidential election. He then voted against the resolution.[2]
“Some members of the Congressional Black Caucus moved to contest the certification of the Ohio votes. Mr. Obama did not join them. In a hastily arranged maiden speech, he said he was convinced that President Bush had won but he also urged Congress to address the need for voting reform.”[3][4]
Mr. President, I did not anticipate speaking today, but the importance of this issue is enough for me to address this body.[5]
In that hastily arranged maiden speech he said:
I am absolutely convinced that the President of the United States, George Bush, won this election. I also believe he got more votes in Ohio. As has already been said by some of the speakers in this body, this is not an issue in which we are challenging the outcome of the election. It is important for us to separate the issue of the election outcome with the election process.
http://votersusa.blogspot.com
Think he flip flopped because he is trying to get Gore endorsement? Obama flip flop on who won the presidency.
http://votersusa.blogspot.com

Jake, yes that is why he has healed our wounds on this message board?

BTW Hillary Clinton doesnt have enough class to be called elite…

Meck: thanks for your thoughts.

david from texas – Are you the same person as Thomas Williams, or did you just copy and paste from his comment and claim it for your own? In doing so, you used the same misquotes of Michelle Obama that he did.

MDB – then I am as arrogant as they come. Obama 08′!!!

When asked last night, “Why do you think God allows bad things to happen to good people?”, Hillary Clinton responded:
God allows bad things to happen to good people in order to wake them up out of complacency and to make their faith stronger and to draw them closer to Him. (paraphrased).
She was right on target with the Christians of America….however, Obama had no clue how to respond. He is still trying to mesh together Islam and Christianity. He said he was a Christian, but then added, he believes in evolution. Obama, its either one or the other…you can’t straddle the fence on that one!

If OBAMA is so borad minded and in touch then why does he look down on average Americans? Why does he refer his grand mother who raised him as ‘typical white person’? Why is he ashamed of using his middle name? Why does he complain when he is compared with his endorsers like JC Jackson? He is quick at lashing out at Hillary and McCain but why would he never denounced his racist, anti-American pastor/mentor?

M they ARE racist and looking for stupid pathetic reasons like Rev Wright and this silly bitter comment to cover it up…Its really sad that Americans havent evolved past the “if he doesnt look like me then he must be evil”….nonsense. Racism doesnt exsist they will say, but then Cops in Ohio were trying on KKK outfits while on the tax payers clock….Pathetic. I think they should go to China where they like to send our jobs and where they will be the ones who are descriminated against…

Jason,
Your in a completely different world then everyone else.
Your blinded and will not see the truth about Obama if it hit you in the face.

babs101: Well said and congratulations!
I applaud your comments, not necessarily because you’re supporting Obama, but because you took the time to carefully consider and focus on the issues and also because you identified the fact that HILLARY just CANNOT be TRUSTED!
Bravo!

Angela – very well said.

Meck – What flip flop? One comment was about the 2000 election, then you go on to talk about the 2004 election in Ohio. I beleive Gore won in 2000, but I do not see what this has to do with Ohio in 2004. They are different subjects and a person can agree that Gore won Florida in 2000 and that Kerry lost Ohio in 2004.

Cheap shot Sen. Obama
You’re sexist.
Obama you’re JUST WORDS with NO ACTION.

Obama is scary!!! Another Obama stereotype, residents of small-town America “cling” to interests like guns and religion because they’re bitter over lost jobs. ….and Obama has the media in his hip pocket so nobody is exposing him for what he really is…… Why isn’t anybody noticing Obama’s past?…..Why is his “spiritual mentor” (Rev. Wright) a racist? Why is his “childhood mentor” (Frank Davis) a communist? Why is nobody questioning his exceptional real estate “deal” with Resko? Why does he keep changing his story about Resko’s donation ($250,000 instead of $100,000)? Why does he think that abortion is better than “punishing a woman with a baby”? How can he get away with stereotyping about the “typical white person (who has) a reaction that’s been bread into our experiences”? Don’t count on our mass media to expose anything!! Obama is scary!!!!

Yada, yada, yada. Hey, Barack Obama, I’ve asked this many times before, I’m asking again now… “Where’s the beef?”

Bottom line SHE IS A LIAR.

Beware of Obama
You want beef? Go to McDonalds.
Go to Obama if you want BS!
Damn — I feel sorry for cows.

Obama helped organize Louis Farrakhan’s Million Man March — (You know Louis Farrakhan the anti-semite, Nation Of Islam, highly racist black man*)
http://www.biography.com/search/article.do?id=9291850
In 1995, along with other prominent black leaders such as Al Sharpton and Barack Obama, Farrakhan helped lead the Million Man March on Washington. A second march, called the Millions More Movement, took place in 2005.

Hillary will look good on McCain’s ticket: he needs a LIAR to invade IRAN.

david from texas – many Christians beleive in evolution. Now let’s just accept that many Christians have a lot of different interpretations of the Bible. I’m sure that there are a lot of Christian beleivers out there that do not send their women out of town when they are having their period, beleive that slavery is immoral, along with multiple wives, let their wives cut their hair, and do mix dairy and meat.

Think Hillary is a liar? You haven’t seen a liar yet!!!! Here is Obama’s laundry list of LIES!!!!!!!
http://www.audacityofhypocrisy.com/?page_id=15

Repeated references here to folks being fixated on “Rev. Wrights commments”. Let’s get this straight. It’s really simple. The folks aren’t the least bit concerned about the Rev’s “comments”. Because they aren’t just a comment. The good Rev. Wright has been exposed as a viscuous hater of America. This is what he preaches and this is what Barack Obama has chosen to expose himself to for 20 years. He therefore must agree with these hateful and vicious sentiments. The Rev. Wright is a liar and a hater and anybody who calls this man his pastor must certainly agree in large part with his positions. Therefore Barack Obama is not fit to be president of the United States and the Rev. Wright is just a fool and a nut.

Some comments:
“I will be glad when this is over and Obama gets the nomination.
The Clinton camp is getting nervous”.
*** You don’t think Obama camp would not get nervous after he becomes nominee?
He would need Hillary’s supporters to beat MCCain in the GE ***

Give me a break!
No other First Lady has been as active as Hillary on domestic affairs. While other First Ladies prior and since Clinton have been largely house wives, Clinton has been a crusader of change.
She has a strong conviction who has worked tirelessly in creating affordable medicine to Americans. She has been involved in a variety of activities when in fact, she did not have to.
Tell me, what has Laura Bush done in the past nearly 8 years in the White House? So, please stop with the negative campaign against Hillary. At the moment, she has many millions of Americans who are supporing her and she needs to figh for them.
If you want to pick on real news, take a good looke at Obama who has a history of lies and deceitful practices. His involvement with the racit Rev. Wright is only the tip of the iceberg. Take a good look at his association with the disgraced Tony Rezko and his financial misdeeds.
Oh, what about Obama’s association with the self-proclaimed Pentagon terrorist William C. Ayers?
So, Hillary has 10 times more experience than Obama! While she may not be Mother Theresa, she loves America and unlike Obama does not sit in church for 20 years listening to hate speech by the pastor.
So, give me a break!
This all gets blocked by ABCNews. So read about it here:

*******************************

I am so tired of Obama …the United States has so many problems.. we don’t need more with his personal black and white issues…His Mother was a weird person with her marriages and her twisted views on almost everything…everything Obama does or says tells me he has to many personal vendettas that we don’t need to be involved in as a country..he has to much baggage …too much water under the bridge..

Obama is the bitter one. The people in PA are not fainting at the site of him and they do not like him or believe in him. so thats why he is bitter. He cannot win them over!!! Good job Pennsylvania friends- now vote overwhelmingly for Hillary so we can end this OBAMA-DRAMA. I’m sick of his speeches to try to explain things all the time. He talks down to us so send him back to Chicago for good !!! Obama, his angry wife and racist pastor DO NOT represent middle america !!

Sanity Man…..We’re talking about the Creation vs. Evolution….this has nothing to do with Biblical culture vs. modern culture. Yes, there are many interpretations of the Bible, and I believe that’s the way it was intended to be. However, no where, in the Bible, is evolution supported. If it were, there would be reference to it.

Vernon
Does Obama agree (with the rest of the world) that Americans are morons? Or does he limit morons to country folk?

Beka, I agree 100%! Though I don’t agree with Rev Wright’s statement. You can’t fight Racism with another form of it.

John,
I really don’t know what Obama. I just know America should have check out the Moron in the White House now. Fear and Meth sure lowers IQs!

Obama is still contending his comments about Penn state being biter deals with all Americans being bitter about Washington politics and economics; when the comments were made after being asked “what could be done about Penn state voters not embracing him”? This had nothing to do with what he’s trying to portray now, but instead was an explanation as to his interpretation to why he wasn’t getting the votes he wants from Penn state when he made suggestions that job loss and economic woes had compelled people in Pennsylvania to bitterness, “guns or religion or antipathy, or anti-immigrant sentiment. This is as out of touch with how and why people aren’t voting for him in that state, and also still fails to address what he really said then, and demonstrates how he is taking his gaff and trying to spin it to something else.

Kevin – You raise the capital gains tax to be able to give back more money to middle-class workers, which could, yes, help us out of the recession. Either way it would be the right thing to do. Why should income from real labor be taxed at a higher rate than income from investments?

Obama won’t be able to keep his mouth shut. He needs to talk to be able to campaign. Therefore I conclude that it’s just a matter of time before another elitist comment or another issue come up and he would have to explain himself again. How many times are we going to hear him explain? Hillary Clinton might not be as beautiful to the eye as Obama is and she might not be as likable as Obama..she might have a few blunders of her own but she is the best candidate we have for the sake of this country.

Senator Obama has walked the talk. He’s the only candidate in the presidential race who has worked in the trenches with people of all economic backgrounds to help achieve their American dream. Hillary was on the board for Walmart. Senator Obama gave up lucrative opportunities in the corporate world in order to go back to the South Side of Chicago and help steelworkers and others who had been laid off. He did this for three years. John McCain went to Annapolis and was the son of a famous Admiral. Hillary came from a white, two-parent middle class home and went to Wellesley and Yale, and now she and Bill have over l00 million dollars. Senator Obama is the son of a single mom who at one time was on welfare, and he was born in l96l– a time when being a biracial kid in America presented difficult challenges. He is a self-made man. Frankly, Senator Clinton’s and McCain’s charge that Barack Obama is “arrogant” or “condescending” or “elitist” is a subtle form of racism, and I have no doubt that both of them realize this. Senator Clinton was only a First Lady, who rode on her husband’s political coattails and in just a few years ran for President of the U.S. That seems pretty “arrogant” to me. But I don’t hear anyone calling her “elitist”. When Senator Obama, an educated Black man who spent 8 years in the Illinois State Senate helping to make this a better world for working people, suddenly the other candidates are calling him “arrogant”, and implying he should stay in his “place”. This is nothing new, calling smart and accomplished Black men, in essence, “uppity”, and it’s just another form of racism. I hope the public won’t be fooled, and will make Senator Obama our next President.

Buck – Just wanted to know how biased a blog it was, now I know Swifty. It has no credibility.

To John Elias: And what was it about the Clinton years that were so bad for you???Booming economy, low unemployment, no war, just what was it??? The last democratic president before Bill Clinton was Jimmy Carter! You must be a member of the super liberal elite democrats that just don’t like booming economies for EVERYONE!

The media should report the Larry Sinclair story but I guess they don’t want to offend Obama. This is just one more story about Obama’s connections to questionable characters.

david from texas – The literal interpretation of the Bible is called Fundamentalism. Not all Christians are Fundamentalists, thank God.

jock59801 – good question about the capital gains being different from the tax on labor. The problem is that the capital gains tax is lower in most other industrialized countries so money would flow out of the US and into those oveseas markets and stay in an overseas account. I don’t like it, it’s unfair, but I don’t know what the solution is. If capital leaves we are even worse off.

John Elias: YOU ARE 100% correct! I could not agree with you more!!! This is what superdelegates have to hear and understand!
Bravo Mr. Elias!

DISS SMALL-TOWN AMERICA and his venomous reverend friend are back in the news. Seems Amercia is a problem for them. Listen up: We love America. And what credibilty does this guy have for confronting John or Hillary. None. Fully exposed for what they are.

Jason,
Bitter and angry at who?
Obama seems to think it is a Black politician.
According to him that is why they are not voting for him.
That was the question he was answering when he made his latest racist remarks.
Why are you having trouble with the blue collar worker.
He may have well said they are prejudice. “They don’t want to hear promises from a Black man like me”.
Then goes on to insult them.
You guys can spin it any way you want, just like the comment his wife made.
She meant what she said and he meant what he said.
When are you going to make him responsible for what he says?
Instead of giving him a free pass to be prejudice.

It’s dangerous voting for anyone who associates himself with Black Supremist Militants. Blacks need positive leaders and role models and this Rev. Wright and the Trinity cHurch are working to keep the next generation of Blacks angry and victims. Tell me something. Whats there to be so angry about? Blacks have never had it so good in the history of their culture. Wealthy athletes, movie stars, recording artists, business owners. If the poor Blacks would stop listening to the downer angry Black “leaders” like Sharpton, Jackson and Wright, they just might have better lives. Obama is not right for America.

Sanity Man – Yes, and I think the free flow of capital is one of the flaws of globalization that many people think should be fixed first. It leads to the destabilization of entire economies as well as the exploitation of labor.

Here are 4 guys that would be 100% better than anyone running right now: John Stossel, Lou Dobbs, Larry Elder or Bill Cosby.

This Obama who ia a CONDESCENDING ARROGANT OAF , has no business running America because he is a political opportunist who has a dark agenda which will turn our country into a ghetto. His Muslim ties which he denies are so apparent and his pretext for change is but a BIG LIE. This man is dubious, look at what is so wrong with this man: He was mentored by the racist idiot Jeremiah Wright who inspired him to write his book and he wouldn’t denounce, he is married to Michelle Obama who is another racist and stated that she’s never been proud of her country until now that her husband is running, he was endorsed by Farrakan, by Ayers who are terrorists, by the Muslim newspaper Al Jazeera, by Oprah who is another racist, and wrote in his book the Audacity of Hope: “I will stand with the Muslims should the political winds shift in an ugly direction.” He has a dark hidden agenda, can’t people see this? This is a man who insults middle America and calls Hillary ” shame on her.” She didn’t twist any words, the vile words came out of this man’s own purple mouth. To him, I say : THE NERVE OF YOU TO THINK YOU’LL BE PRESIDENT, SHAME ON YOU BARACK HUSSEIN OBAMA. YOU ARE A LIAR!

Obama’s comments about guns and religion are calling small town people dumb. There is no other reason to make these comments. People keep guns for hunting and protection and because they have the right to do so. Religious faith and values are a part of life in good times and bad and have absolutely nothing to do with being bitter.

well, i guess americans anjoy paying $4 per gallon of gas. americans are happy they are losing their jobs to china and mexico. americans are happy, just happy, that their children, spouses, fathers, and friends are dying in iraq for a war we should not have started to begin with. we are just happy we will eat our patriotism, get our kids educated with our patriotism regardless of perpectual diminishing access to education due to cost. we are just happy. well, some of us are angry, bitter and pissed off that the america we have known and cherished and worked hard to preserve is slipping by due to some recklessness by some elitist bunch. where have you guys been? the elitists are those telling us that we have no problem, that we make enough to pay our mortgages, afford the ever spiking price of gas, etc. folks wake up!

What “trenches” did he walk through? Who are you kidding? Everything was paid for him by his WHITE grandparents WHOM HE HATES. And his wife, the white hater, who gets $300,000 a year (oh,U of C they doubled her pay as soon as he decided to run for president)? Who gets $300,000 for what she does? Trenches … what does he know about the 178% of people (the new digit) that are losing their houses because HE and OTHERS LIKE HIM did allow the banks do whatever they wanted, rob the poor! And what about the Check n’ Go? Did he or others like him stop them from taking 800% on the money they give out to the desperate, and if they can’t pay they guarnishee their wages? GIVE ME A BREAK,you’re are really stupid.

Obama was also endorsed by the Black Panthers? Wake up people, this man could truly be the SIGN OF THE BEAST–
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
NNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN
TTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT
IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII

TTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT

DCVoter,
I agree, I seem to misinterpret what he says a lot. Then he clarifies it and I am even more confused. The media is giving this guy a free ride.
They havn’t even picked up on the part.
“They especially don’t want to hear it from a Black man” comment.
He thinks all blue collar white people must have a problem with him because he is Black, not because he is out of touch with them.
They just take that the wrong way.
Just another one of there faults.
Under educated whites that like to cling to their guns and relegion and like to take their frustrations out on anyone that is not like them. Like a stuck up black man.
This guy is racist weather he wants to be or not. It is obviouse by the company he keeps, their statements and his. What’s it going to take. A “ki11 whitey” comment before people will wake up and see that?

Barack is mad …Barack’s arrogance is showing. Our prayers are being answered. He has let America see what he really thinks of white middle America !! He better go cry on Oprahs billion dollar shoulder and maybe she can help him weasel his way out of this one like he did with the ugly racist pastor incident!!
Pennsylvania– please vote him OUT of this race. We dont need anymore snake oil salesmen in the White House, nor do we need an angry racist First Lady and angry racist pastor. This is what you now get Obama for playing the race card with Oprah !! Obamas- go back to Chicago !!

david from texas
Yeah
And some super-dude was walking on earth one day and decided to breath into a mud puddle. Next thing you know, poof! There’s Adam. Then, super-dude realizes (should have known) that Adam was lonely so he performed the earth’s first unauthorized surgery on the poor guy, took out a rib and, poof! There was Eve.
Yep – some christians don’t believe in evolution.

@danny: actually ‘the stupidest’ and the ‘most stupid’ are both correct !

I am from Missouri a state full of small town voters and I am bitter over the economy. And we do tend to go to church more during hard times. His comment did not offend me and it was the truth.

jock59801 – Again I don’t like it, but the only way I see is to let the dollar fall which will drive up the price of imports (especially oil), but it will make our goods more competative. We can then get into the global market and bring more cash into our country. China has all of those T-bills which become more worthless so they dump them which drives down the dollar even more. Problem is again that we are global and no one will be able to afford imported goods. We also need a lot of well educated people, that is our real advantage in the world. But in reading most of these posts I would say that our advantage on the intellectual front is slipping away fast. But of course I must be an out of touch elitist.

david from texas – You have a good day too. The good thing is that neither of us will do no harm. Maybe that is the ultimate good in faith.

Maybe he would prefer she was a dope smoking coke snorting idiot like he is. It really shows how childish and immature he is on tv just now making fun of her. Let’s let Barak Obama and his wife pack em up and move on out to a country somewhere that they can be proud of that approves of a presidential candidate making fun of women in public. It does not matter what Hillary says or does and what he thinks about it. What matters is his public reaction to it, and being on national tv making fun of someone like he is in elementary school does not look good for someone who is supposed to be running for the highest office in the world. GROW UP OBAMA. Has he ever thought that having to listen to his whining crap is going to drive us all to drink?

Chris,
This is America, making money is ok.
Character as in a fictisious story character.
He has enough character to ticked off at least half of PA and OH.
He has no experience, claims to be different, but isn’t, but he should lead this country because he BS’s very well. I would rather have a hard worker not a BS’r as president.

Obama is a joke. He has offered so many empty promises and changes his tune to fit the crowd. Does he really think the voting public is that stupid?? Oh yea, they are voting for him. He is not presidential material. VOTE HILLARY!

http://www.audacityofhypocrisy.com/?page_id=15
Barack Obama’s laundry list of lies!!!!

You people are sad, why is it every time the truth is spoken, you don’t wait and think for yourself, about what was said before you go and follow behind someone else’s ass and agree, then to feel like ass yourself after you really think about the statement. The Media and Reporters have their favorites, don’t always fall for the crap, learn that!!! Barack and Hillary, as far as I’m concerned, would make good Presidents and I was not sure who I was gonna vote for, but I am now and I’m Barack all the way. We need him and we need him bad. I don’t want a president like her,I’m sick off lies and conspiracies and trying to make people look bad when you are not perfect yourself. I wish my country, the USA would get there to. Speak the truth and stop pushing it under the rug because you are scared what people would say about you, that’s whats wrong with us. I am a strong, educated, black woman and US citizen. and what Barack said is true, with all the shootings lately everywhere, and the fear of terrorists, people are closer to their guns, I’m going for me a gun-card and gun soon. What the hell is wrong with that? I hear a lot of people say that they are disgusted with the way things are now and you are too, but don’t want to admit it, coward!!! Anyone that hate Reverend Wright for what he said, get over it and pray, because you are attacking a man of God and you don’t know about the relationship between him and God, you are jeopardizing yourself in a way you don’t realize. The chickens have come home to rouste,the innocent people that have been killed in Iraq is the reason for all the killing here, there have been more killings from mother’s and father’s, killing their own, more now then I’ve ever seen in my entire life. The pressure is to much for some to bare. And if you are weak don’t watch the news, because for every 1000 horror stories you hear, you might hear 5 good ones. When Clinton was in office and we found out about his affair, the people were so cruel to him and Mrs. Clinton. don’t think they forgot about that. Black people supported them more then whites and we are gonna support who we think is right for the job now, and It’s time to lay off the Race talks and dissecting everything Barack says to make him look bad. Deal with the real issues of whats going on in this world and figure out what you can do to make it better. STOP THE ATTACK CHILDREN!!

Now that Obama and Clinton have morphed into cartoon characters, no one is interested in their ideas. No one can see either one of them as president at this point. They’re the brunt of every joke going around, and it will continue until November. They are lost to the world of Gore/Dean/Kerry, embarrassing and not to be taken seriously!

I feel sorry for prejudiced people because they must live in HELL everyday.

I am convinced that Obama supporters do not have a clue what the issues are.

After reading the postings of the Obama supporters you wonder if you are in the correct blog or if they believe this blog is really a competition to win a prize for the best fiction story.
I find it somewhat ironic that Barack would criticize rural America for their anti-trade sentiment when he claims to be NAFTA’s strongest opponent.
I find it troubling that Barack would criticize rural America for clinging to their religion during troubled times while he clings to his pastor “What I value most about Pastor Wright is not his day-to-day political advice,” Obama said. “He’s much more of a sounding board for me to make sure that I am speaking as truthfully about what I believe as possible and that I’m not losing myself in some of the hype and hoopla and stress that’s involved in national politics.”
I find it sad that Barack would criticize rural America for clinging to their legal guns used for hunting and family protection while he is assuring them that he is pro-gun and will keep the weapons in their hands.
I find it unbelievale that Barack would claim that rural America is “anti-immigrant” when he knows full well that they’re actually anti-Illegal immigrant and want secure borders just like Barack does.
I find it a total lie that Obama is saying that Bush and Clinton had the same economic policies and that America fared poorly under Clinton.
Obama: What you forgot to tell is that what you think of rural American is what makes them “bitter”.

Hadenough – Looking back over your previous comments shows nary an issue mentioned; just insults and accusations that other posters are lying about their own personal information. Are these the “issues” that you are talking about?

April Campbell wrote “Hillary-you are such a piece of work. Telling folks in PA we’ll start making steel again! I don’t think so, Lady. And NAFTA was all Bill’s idea, hmmm.” —-
Your statement is factually incorrect. George H.W. Bush was the author of NAFTA & he negotiated & signed the trade deals with Canada & Mexico before Bill Clinton became president. After Bill Clinton became president it was ratified by congress.

Message to Dashle (go back to school, please) and Obama supporters: Definition of “elitist”: “One who despises people or things regarded as inferior, especially because of social or intellectual pretension: snob. Informal snoot. See attitude/good attitude/bad attitude/neutral attitude, self-love/modesty.” http://www.answers.com/topic/elitist
Synomyn of “elitist”: Barack Obama

Definitely Common Sense – If this WERE a contest for best fiction writing, you may win it yet. Obama did not even say most of that.
Obama did not say that Bush and Clinton had “the same economic policies.” He said that these towns did not “recover” during either Administration. Even if they fared slightly better under Clinton, this would still be true.
Obama never said that people shouldn’t have guns or religion, only that these are more effective wedge issues when people see neither party willing to help them economically
And many rural Americans are VERY anti-immigrant.

The Clintons and McCains are the ones with 100s of millions of dollars. Clinton owes her soul to corporations and other big money — who do you really think she is going to fight for?
Obama is the one that has fought for transparency, was against the war from the beginning, and TRULY CARES about US.
Wake up People!
WE ARE THE CHANGE WE HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR!!
OBAMA ’08!!!

Mr. Obama talks about Hillary throwing back a shot of whiskey as pandering to voters! Well I wonder what he calls wearing a 10 gallon hat, riding a tractor, feeding a calf, bowling,drinking at a sports bar? He knows we can see him wright?

jock59801: You are going to remember what is convenient to remember. Yes, Obama has trashed Bill Clinton and his economy in numerous ocassions. Since you do not like fiction, please read and analyze the whole picture and scenario of what Obama said and why he said it. Try the whole picture and real and complete scenario where Obama made his comments: Obama was in CA in a fundraiser with his elite-super rich donors and when one of the donors asked him why he was having problems converting voters in PA, that is when he answered what he said. The real meaning is that he trashed the PA small town people as his excuse as to why he was still behind Hillary in PA so these people continue to give him money for his campaign. If he was really concerned about the “bitterness” of the American people or anger, whatever you want to name it (most of Americans feel that way, including me) due to the conditions we are living, why he did not say those comments (the whole sentence) to the PA people on their faces? If his comments are correct behind the back of the PA residents then they should be correct to tell the PA residents on their faces, don’t you think? He is trying to make the public focus on the first part of his statement (which is succeeding due to the heavyly biased press pro Obama in this country), but the second part,the when and where are the ones he does not want us American to pay any attention and he does not want to discuss. Why he needed to go to a fundraiser of rich and elite people (the worst combination) in CA to give his opinion that the reason he is not having the results they (the rich donors) in PA are expecting from him is that the small town American turn to guns, religion, etc. instead of paying attention to his “new message.” That is the real message. And that is why, even when Obama is trying to focus only on the “bitter” part of his comments, the rest of the comments (which are the significant ones) will defeat him.

Helen: Yes you are one of those Hillary supporters… today, that yesterday was a “Pro Rev. Wright supporter yesterday (that was the discussion yesterday) and the day before yesterday was a “PA Jewish Pro Obama” and this morning was a “PA small town resident pro Obama.” The only problem is that all of them say the same in their posts.

Obamas continued hypocricy and double standards are sickening. Grow up and get on with it. Be a man and admit your mistakes. Your whineing and snivelling is beyond appaling. He does the same thing she does and its boys being boys. She does it and its staged for the cameras. Obama should change careers. Theres an opening in the screen actors guild, Charlton Heston passed away. he would be a great actor, but wait, he’s not for the NRA, in fact he’s antigun! Guess he cant take Hestons spot.

Obama Elitest states the woman who has made 109 million sense 2000. McCain echoes the same cry about Obama while stating that many Americans finacial problems are psychological and while married to a billionaire heiress.
Now Hillary Clinton see her opportunity but I should remind you that while caimpaigning in 1991 Bill Clinton made a similar statement about economically-depressed small town voters. He stated to the Los Angeles Times in September 1991
“The reason (George H. W. Bush’s tactic) works so well now is that you have all these economically insecure white people who are scared to death,”
Then a couple months later to Joe Klein of the Sunday Times Clinton elaborated on the above stating
“You know, he [Bush] wants to divide us over race. I’m from the South. I understand this. This quota deal they’re gonna pull in the next election is the same old scam they’ve been pulling on us for decade after decade after decade. When their economic policies fail, when the country’s coming apart rather than coming together, what do they do? They find the most economically insecure white men and scare the living daylights out of them. They know if they can keep us looking at each other across a racial divide, if I can look at Bobby Rush and think, Bobby wants my job, my promotion, then neither of us can look at George Bush and say, ‘What happened to everybody’s job? What happened to everybody’s income? What … have … you … done … to … our … country?’”
This to me echoes everything Obama was stating without the religion sentiment.

roberincharlotte – Goodness you seem confused. What are you talking about? Your post makes no sense.

I thought Obama was humble since he was raised by a single mother. He went to so far to an extent to give up his name and his Arab American race to obtain an Affirmative Action admission from Harvard, more important, to court black race for his political career. Strange enough, deep in his heart and black skin, he is arrogant and aloof.
I did post once here that we may should vote for him to be an Affirmative Action president since US owed for this and it has been a long due. However, Obama disappointed us with his “bitter” comments.
While the bitter description comment is true or not is subject to debate, Obama is certainly not a matured politician. He has to wait to think that the 90% black voters who supported him are mostly workers. Abount 50% Democrats are working class.
Really silly for him.

In my 35+ yrs as an American voter I have never seen a politician as dishonest and disingenuous as Hillary Clinton. Sadly, I think that her flawed traits are driven by a narcissistic mental illness that causes her to truly believe that she is entitled to the Presidency and believe that the country cannot live without her Both her and her husband are extremely dangerous. Voters need to recognize that they are not voting for someone that cares about the populace. They are voting for 2 power-hungry egos that have proven for 2 decades that they will do and say anything to have their way.

While “Concerned American” is ringing on about the sound bites that his candidate so helpfully provided, he should go look at the entire sermon as well as others that are on the internet. If he disagrees with the point about blowback then he should vote for McCain. Moreover try googling ‘Hillary “the family” “prayer breakfasts” if you wanna see something scary. Might also want to take a look at Carl Bernstein’s recent blog…

The main point is people do not go to church because they are bitter or because of Washington.
We go to church for salvation, for our eternal life. OBAMA call himself a Christian! A phony who let his greed dominates his belief. THE WORLD IS ANGRY.
OBAMA’s logic is at fault; not the existence of bitterness. There are people of bitterness everywhere but they do not go to church to show their bitterness unless you go to Rev. Wrights cult church. God is not black. This is the truth.
There are people in OBAMA’s home base, Illinois who are bitter. Should we hold OBAMA responsible or Washington responsible! OBAMA, of course.
Going to San Francisco and giving his statement to explain for bitterness in Pennsylvania, OBAMA misleads people that he wants to impress. CNN’s reporter is trying the same thing to help OBAMA SIDESTEPPING his hypocrisy. Shame on them!
It is disgusting to hear OBAMA’s condescending tone to small town on TV.
OBAMA adopts a view that he is not responsible for ‘the bitterness’ of people.
Wrong! It is politicians like him who gets his fortune in this country and who have been ignoring the bitterness until election time, that should be responsible. He is very much a part of the ELITE group causing bitterness.
Why should he give this wrong image to people in San Francisco? To raise fund! To show his exceptional judgement?
This shows his deplorable judgement.
OBAMA is really out of touch with SMALL TOWN PEOPLE. No matter how hard he tries to take off his jacket to make a mockery of an imitation of a working class. He is still an ELITIST in his views of people, in his talking and in his acting.
Don’t count the chicken before it is hatched. OBAMA. We shall see you flip in the convention and miss you in the general election because your jokes ain’t funny.
Wake up America!! Before it is too late. Stop this wolf in sheep skin.

A ’37′ score in bowling does not make OBAMA understand the working class.
Why doesn’t this wolf in sheep skin take his beer back to his dream house which REZKO help him buy in Illinois?
It is because all politicians in the state are tied to REZKO. OBAMA is running away for cover.
Shame on you. OBAMA and the maniacs sending hate emails and making threats to the media for your campaign.

What did your mother call a woman who sits in a bar and drink shots and beer with the men?

NO Obama TODAY, NO Obama TOMORROW, NO OBAMA next WEEK, NO Obama bext MONTH, NO Obama in NOVEMBER, NO Obama EVER.He is the biggest DUD ever to run for President.If his phone ever rang at 3 am and the missiles were in the air. He would have to call his big buddy Mr. Wrong, the NAACP and the ACLU to find out what to do next.

If Martin Luther King, Jr. were running for President I would vote for him in a heartbeat. O’bama, however, is more of the antithesis of MLK. Forget about anything “Jeremiah Wright” has said – O’bama for 20 years has supported “Trinity United Church of Christ” whose vision statement comes from Dr. James Cone who has written: “The black theologian must reject any conception of God . . . as a God of all peoples. . .. The blackness of God means that God has made the oppressed condition God’s own condition. . .. Black Theology is the theological arm of Black Power, and Black Power is the political arm of Black Theology.” O’bama’s recent subliminal slip confirms what I have long thought – he is a Black Nationalist. In striking contrast, here is what Martin Luther King, Jr. has said: “Beneath all the satisfaction of a gratifying slogan, Black Power is a nihilistic philosophy born out of the conviction that the Negro can’t win. It was born from the wounds of despair and disappointment . . . In the final analysis, the weakness of Black power is its failure to see that the Black man needs the White man and the White man needs the Black man.”

I thought Obama was the candidate of hope , change and a new way. Reading the Obama supporters blogs leads me to believe they are bitter and hateful. Obama seems to be happy to feed those feelings. I will bet if he gets elected that you will still feel the same way after he’s been POTUS for a year or two, The truth is, black or white, he doesn’t care about you except as a means to his ends.

As the rumination continues over Barack Obama’s comments about economically-depressed small town voters, statements made by Bill Clinton on the same topic — uttered while he was running for president in 1991 — have now surfaced.
“The reason (George H. W. Bush’s tactic) works so well now is that you have all these economically insecure white people who are scared to death,” Clinton was quoted saying by the Los Angeles Times in September 1991.
A couple months later, Joe Klein, writing for the Sunday Times, reported that Clinton made the following remarks:

What happened to everybody’s income? What … have … you … done … to … our … country?’”
For comparison’s sake, here is Obama’s statement, reported by Mayhill Fowler for Huffington Post’s OffTheBus:
Here’s how it is: in a lot of these communities in big industrial states like Ohio and Pennsylvania, people have been beaten down so long, and they feel so betrayed by government, and when they hear a pitch that is premised on not being cynical about government, then a part of them just doesn’t buy it. And when it’s delivered by — it’s true that when it’s delivered by a 46-year-old black man named Barack Obama (laugher), then that adds another layer of skepticism (laughter). [...]
But the truth is, is that, our challenge is to get people persuaded that we can make progress when there’s not evidence of that in their daily lives. You go into some of these small towns in Pennsylvania, and like a lot of small towns in the Midwest, the jobs have been gone now for 25 years and nothing’s replaced them. And they fell through the Clinton administration, and the Bush administration, and each successive administration has said that somehow these communities are gonna regenerate and they have not. So it’s not surprising then that they get bitter, they cling to guns or religion or antipathy to people who aren’t like them or anti-immigrant sentiment or anti-trade sentiment as a way to explain their frustrations.
What do you think — are they similar?
Update: Jason Linkins notes a statement from Harvard political scientist Theda Skocpol to Talking Points Memo, which reads in part:
I have been in meetings with the Clintons and their advisors where very clinical things were said in a very-detached tone about unwillingness of working class voters to trust government — and Bill Clinton — and about their unfortunate (from a Clinton perspective) proclivity to vote on life-style rather than economic issues. To see Hillary going absolutely over the top to smash Obama for making clearly more humanly sympathetic observations in this vein, is just amazing.

It seems like Obama keeps bragging about his inexperience in Washington DC. Is this someone we really want as President? Does he really expect it to be like a Disney should he happen to win the election and he’s able to miraculously have a happy ending?
He can’t even take the time to contribute as a Senator and the radicals of the Democratic party want him as President?
Obama Out! Hillary 08 all the way. If not Hillary then reluctantly McCain.
Disenfranchised Democrat!

Once again, the media darling takes a play out of the Rebulican handbook and says it’s Clinton who’s doing it. Hope everyone likes the president the media is selecting for us again this year. Thought everyone was tired of Bush. Now, unless the good people of PA, NC, IN, PR, and the handfull of states left to vote stand up to the media and say enough, we’ll get Obama, Bush’s counterpart on the other side. Great. Just what we wanted. Four more years of media-induced hangover over the “choice” they lead us to. Congratulations. The rest of the world laughs at us. If we elect another sweet-taking ‘uniter’ who talks the talk but doesn’t walk the walk, then we deserve it.

OBAMA ROCKS
Hillary is back with her Kitchen Sink Strategy… Sick and Tired and there is NO Comparison between her and OBAMA.
OBAMA knocked her down and he should pucnch hard until she cant’t get up.
Another dirty machine is going to come up a different kind of kitchen sink strategy by hiring Liberman, Kristol Nach that Obama hates Jews. That Obama is a Marxist, Obama is Elitist…..
Let’s have another Party with Jack Daniel and Budweiser! Who is paying!!!
so until she is taken to the

bushrots,
Actually, this story about Nadhmi Auchi was reported by the Associated Press earlier today and reported in the Chicago Tribune. A witness in the Rezko trial stated that Barack and Michelle attended the party at Rezko’s home. Barack, and I beleive it was Auchi’s lawyer had said that they had never met. Uh Oh! Barack has now been caught in yet another lie!!! So you see, Chiman was right. Suggest you get your facts before you attack someone else.

you know… I’m truly amazed at the awesome power the media has (particularly at a time when it’s hungry for news and ratings) to take a story, blow it way out of proportions, and in the process do its best to crucify and destroy a candidate running for office!
And that goes both ways (when they bash Hillary or Obama) doesn’t make a difference.
And the scary thing is that that awesome power is often wielded for political reasons. Not that’s truly frightening!

Bill Clinton Flashback: “All These Economically Insecure White People…Are Scared To Death”
April 13, 2008 02:41 PM

Bitterthypicalwhite,
Most of time Asian reports especially Indonesian website/newspaper are favor Obama.
Most of the people live there do not know about him and because they always watch CNN make them believe Obama is a decent, honest guy.

i believe many american are good smart people. BUT MANY WORKING CLASS PEOPLE ARE SO NAIVE TO VOTE FOR HILARY WITH ALL THE ACADEMY AWARD PERFORMANCES.
SHE LIES ABOUT BOSNIA AND GETS AWAY WITH A “MISPOKE” EXCUSE AND HER HUSBAND REPEATS IT. SHE LIED TO ALL OF AMERICAN ABOUT IT!! WHY ARE YOU SMART WORKING CLASS PEOPLE NOT UP IN ARMS ABOUT THAT? OBAMA TRYS TO EXPLAIN YOUR FRUSTRATIONS AND YOU POUNCE ON HIM?
NO WONDER AMERICA IS GOING DOWN, AND WILL KEEP GOING DOWN. YOU ARE EASILY FOOLED BY POLITICIANS LIKE HILARY.
she is a rich lying selfish women who does not give a damn about working class people except to get their vote SO THEY CAN MAKE ANOTHER 109 MILLION!!!
HOW COULD A MAN WHO IS A MINORITY, GREW UP WITH A SINGLE MOM IN A POOR HOME BE ELITIST? ITS AMAZING HOW AMERICANS ALLOW HILARY TO INSULT THEIR INTELLIGENCE. HILARY NEVER WOULD TRY THAT NONSENSE UNLESS SHE THOUGHT AMERICAN ARE SO IGNORANT WITH A VERY SHORT MEMORY (CLINTON NAFTA, COLUMBIA, BOSNIA, IMPEACHMEN AND ON AND ON….)
CAN YOU FOR ONCE WAKE UP AND SEE A MAN LIKE OBAMA COMES AROUND ONCE EVERY 40 YEARS? YOU WANT YOUR PROBLEMS SOLVED, THEN GIVE THE MAN A CHANCE, HE WILL NOT LET YOU DOWN. OR ELSE YOU CAN VOTE FOR HILARY AND HER CLOSED DOOR BACKROOM DEALS, WHILE SHOWING A DIFFERENT FACE IN PUBLIC.
THIS IS A turning point in american history since the economy is breaking and so is the banks!!! if we dont turn around now, IT WILL BE TOO LATE FOR AMERICA, TOO LATE.
SAVE THIS COUNTRY NOW IF YOU CARE ABOUT YOUR CHILDREN AND GRANDCHILDREN!!!
MCCAIN=4 MORE YEARS OF GEORG BUSH
HILARY=4 MORE YEARS OF POLITICS AS USUAL, INCLUDING LYING AND SPECIAL INTERESTS.
OBAMA=THE BEST CHOICE TO GIVE AMERICA A CHANCE, YES GIVE AMERICA A CHANCE!!!!

The full audio shows and proves that Obama looks down on Americans.And that he does not care to even hide his contempt when he is pandering for campaign money.

Issues??!! Please, let the American people hear about your plans on the issues: economy; war; environment. Don’t waste our time sniping each other, we can see through it, and it just turns us off.

Chris,
This is America, making money is ok.
Character as in a fictisious story character.
He has enough character to ticked off at least half of PA and OH.
He has no experience, claims to be different, but isn’t, but he should lead this country because he BS’s very well. I would rather have a hard worker not a BS’r as president.

WHY ARE YOU FORGETTING THOSE BUNCH OF LIES FROM HILLARY… SNIPER ATTACKS, HEALTH INSURANCE LIES ABOUT A MOTHER & CHILD, NAFTA CAMPAIGNS, COLUMBIA DEALS — AMERICA WAKE UP!!!!!!!!

American’s are funny, you live in this little bubble cut off from the rest of the world bickering over which politician is an “elitist”. Let’s be honest, all politicians are “elitist”.
All politicians lie to the people, all politicians grand stand to get votes. Obama is no different than Hilary or McCain, they all tap dance to get votes.
Hilary is full of sh*t, McCain is full of sh*t and so is Obama. I think Obama is more entertaining so if I were a citizen I would vote for him. ;-)

Cuba

If I ever do go to a bar, I will be sure to have the press in tow to show the world how fast I can throw back a shot.

Those who want some reason not to cast a vote for change and Obama may use any excuse they like. the fact of the matter is that we all, all Americans Black, Brown, White, Yellow and Red should be at least a little bitter about where America seems to be headed. I am Black and I love America. I am bitter about where our politicians have taken our wonderful country for their own selfish, greedy, benefit.

Obama is a product of our American education system. He is living proof that it can work for everyone.
Some of you boneheads can’t even write!
Hillary for president? Have you all forgotten Bills’ embarrassing antics during his term?
We couldn’t wait for his time to end, so there was a motion for impeachment.
Are we ready for a black president?
Probably as well accepted as co-star Morgan Freeman in the movie “Deep Impact”.

I think it is time for Obama to drop out. He can’t win the nomination – so he should do the honorable thing and quit.
The problem is, to do the honorable thing, you need honor. Obama is a lying, mudslinging, contemptible elitest whom the media (aka Ted Turner) loves. If he gets the nod, the Republicans will have a field day. Does anyone remember Dukakas or Kerry?

I think Obama’s humor is a little too subtle for the average American.
He sets up the critique as a general “some politicians will make empty promises etc”. Naming no names. Then boom by dropping in the shot and the beer he craftily and humorously identifies the “some pols” as being Hillary.
Obviously he is not saying it is bad for a politician to campaign and do photo ops. The point of the last remark is to be the punchline not part of the original “bad things that pols do” list.
Sheesh.
There now a Brit has explained it for you.
