He did not insult PA and as usual, Clinton is spinning his words out of context. The words "clinging to guns and religion" was meant to say those are the issues that the voters cling to because they don't beleive anyone in Washington can make the economy better so why vote on it? Look at the response Obama gave last night to Clinton and McCain attacts. (I'm starting to get confused again about which party the Clintons belong to)

Hillary is desperate. Here is a reason why she should never be president. She can't learn from the past.She is overplaying her cards just like she has done before and people were turned off by it. She's been ineffectively trying to turn voters against Obama. But she doesn't realize the message doesn't sink in if you not well perceived by the people. She already has an unfavorable and untrustworthy rating. This is not her issue to focus on because the more she tries to attack Obama on this and keep it in the news, the more these blue collar voters will really start to think about the issue at hand and realize that Obama is absolutely correct. We are in a serious recession and these people don't trust anyone especially the clintons who actually signed the nafta bill. She should have commented and moved on.

How can she say the Obama is an elitist when she makes 109 million dollars? Well no wonder she does not understand working class families and think we are not angry and bitter about the economy as well as lack of jobs. She is the one that is condensending when her husband receives 800,000 dollars to speak in behalf of CAFTA. She championed to outsource our jobs due to NAFTA. She and her husband shipped our jobs away and she is saying we are not bitter. Check again Hilliary. We are bitter and angry that you are profiting from our job loss.

What’s wrong with this picture here? Can someone tell me?

The McCains are multi millionaires, worth around $100 million.

The Clintons are multi millionaires, worth around $100 million.

The Obamas have around $ 1 million, as per their tax returns. (And that’s because he wrote two books)

The McCains and the Clintons are so out of touch it’s amazing; but you see that happens when you can pay your mortgage; that is what happens when you can pay your health insurance; that is what happens when you don’t have to look at the prices of gas when you are filling up your tank; that’s what happens when you can afford to send your child to college’s. That is what happens when you can go to sleep at night knowing your bills are paid.

Once again, what is wrong with this picture; out of all three candidates Senator Obama knows what true ecominc struggles are like and the other candidates have the audacity to suggest you should be satisfied and happy with the way things are now…. I am confused here can someone help me out.

The sad truth is that what Mr. Obama stated has truth in it. Hillary simply is taking words out of context to try to link in a distorted meaning. Hillary is part of the problem. How dare she and her Husband lecture on bittterness when their MILLION's arose out of public service. How dare they demean the bitterness of the working class when they have guaranteed million dollar retiremetn plans for being elected.( No requirement to pay in for their benefits like her health plan calls for)

Of course she wants to counter any concept that we are bitter because it could come back to haunt her. We have as a nation voted against our interest. We have allowed ourseleves to be duped by false strawmen. I have seen close up in gorwing up in a small Kansas town to imbred prejudices of religion and of trying to scapegoat some one not quite like me to make me feel better about my circumstance.

If we are truly to get our bearings back we need to face our demons and they are special interests and politicians and their associates who have benefited from them at our expense.

Hillary shame on you for not running a more competent campaign and then begging the delegates( both super and elected) to denounce Obama for speaking the truth about the bitterness we as a nation have faced because of this war which you so willing voted for and has bankrupted us both morally and economically

Obama was asked whether those working class PA voters were reluctant to vote for him because they were racist, and he refused to agree with that premise, defending those voters by pointing out that the government's broken promises are what has made them untrustworthy towards politicans and bitter about Washington politics. If McCain/Clinton want to argue that decades of Washington corruption haven't made anyone bitter, or that Bush's policies for the last eight years haven't made anyone bitter, I encourage them to make that argument the focus of their campaigns. If McCain/Clinton want to argue that their decades of life living in multimillion dollar luxury gives them the right to tell a former $13,000 a year community organizer who just paid off his student loans a few years ago that he's elitist, they should keep at it. Keep at it and see what hard working Americans think.

He should not be stereotyping a large part of the population.
People go to church because of their faith, not because of bitterness.
People believe in the right to bear arms because it is their belief system, not because they are bitter.
Just because people do not support Obama does not make them racist's as he tried to imply.

simply amazing. Hillary and McCain reading from the exact same script: "out of touch"..."elitist"...

and the media falls for it: hook, line, and sinker. No - lets not learn from the Wright mistake and play the whole point that Obama was making, lets instead play snips of what he said and follow it by McCain and Hillary (read as: republican) interpretation. Lets not focus on the thousands of Americans who DO say they're bitter and angry...lets not focus on the fact that Barack brought up nothing new, and in fact this has been an issue for Dem's for a long time (that repub's try to divide the country on small issues: guns/gays/religion/etc, because they win when the country is divided on small issues because they feel that washington is out of touch with them on big-picture issues)...yes, lets not focus on that...lets instead follow lock-n-step with the Fox New Agenda of painting Barack as an extreme liberal anti-american....

get with the clue people...you're being played....cut the strings...

I'm middle America, and i'm angry, bitter and even then some about Washington Politicians over the last 2 decades...so, are Hillary and McCain actually taking a stand to deny that people like me exist in this country? during a "change" election year? during a time when 80+% think the US is on the wrong track?----really?

Talk about out of touch.

Barack Obama is telling people how the other half (or the actual majority NOW) lives to bring people together to fight for and demand a better economy that Washington votes could give us. Shame on you, Hillary Clinton, for twisting his words to further divide a nation. You're a lawyer - the worst kind of lawyer who twists words to meet her agenda.

For as much as I've said I'd vote for a Democrat, no matter what, Hillary makes it agonizingly hard. Try as I might, I can't draw sufficient distinction between her and Senator McCain to pull the lever in her favor if the House and Senate look likely to go Dem. Rather than give her the possibility of two more terms of Clinton crisis, I'd hope for a one-term McCain presidency with a Dem congress. She knows very well the context within which Senator Obama made the remarks, yet she chooses the same tactics of misrepresentation and reduction that so recently got her into hot water. It echoes the manipulations that Bush used to get us into war. I ardently hope that we are indeed seeing the end of old style politics. My heart breaks when I think of her in the Oval Office.

Go Obama, don't back down. I would love to see you take down Ms. Clinton.

At the beginning of this primary, I was so excited. I told both my kids that we are probably writing a page in history, meaning the possibility of electing the first woman, or first AA as President. I would talk to people about it, and could not for the life of me understand people's hate of Hillary Clinton. Now after watching all of this unfold, I can answer that question myself. Ms. Clinton has a credibility problem. In my opinion, she is a pathological liar, and to make matters worse, I think she believes her own lies. There may be a grain of truth in what she says (the hospital story) but one has to look hard to find that grain of truth. It is like the story of the little boy that cried wolf one to many times, when the truth is told, no one believes you. That is where I am at right now with Ms. Clinton. I don't believe anything she has to say, and I quickly turn the channel.

Can't wait to get Billary out of this campaign so we don't have to listen to the constant stream of garbage anymore. Obama could have chosen his words a little more carefully, but anyone who thinks many hard working people aren't getting bitter and with very good reason is a moron.

Billary's NAFTA deal left many of them behind, left the foreign workers without protection or power in lousy conditions and Bill and not-so-former top strategist Penn are still making money pushing a new deal that will have the same flaws as the original.

Does anyone believe she's really serious about opposing her own closest confidants, not to mention the bucks Bill is bringing into their joint accounts?

She hopes if she keeps sliming her opponent we'll all be too stupid to see what's really going on here. Talk about elitist! Billary thinks we're just a bunch of easily manipulated yahoos. If the polls since the Wright bomb are any indication, they may have gone to that well a time or two too many.

The Clintons care about the great Clinton restoration. When all was right in the world when instead of securing a democratic legacy they lost the House and marganilized the Senate. Where welfare reform was a political football to help secure reelection. When Bush I instititued a tax increase that helped spur on the econmic growth of the 90"s. When the fall of the Iron curtain created the limited time we were the sole economic super power which helped further fuel the economic growth. Or is this a continuation of the monarchy of Bush/Clinto. When Bush squandered our surplus and did a 180 into the morass of Iraq that has cost us lives, prestige and has bankrupted us( except for the friends of Bush and Clinton.)

The truth is we are in or near a recession. We need strong leadership and committment to sacrifice to get out of it. This means putting away partisinship and parochial attitudes for the better good. This is what Mr. Obama was speaking of. I am no Elitist. I have worked since I was 14 and paid my way through college and law school. My children are working to finish their education. What I fear most is that they and their children will face a world with less opprotunity to grow than mine did.

Kim S. LAncaster, PA — Sat, 12 Apr 2008 17:37:34 GMT

Obama is right! Small town Pennsylvanians are bitter. I come from a small town in PA and a lot of people are bitter. My company laid off more than a quarter of our workforce. And I know those former employees are bitter. They are looking for work, but can't find anything.

Hillary Clinton is naive to thing that all Americans are just peachy with the way things are. And although it would be great if all Americans were 'resilient,' the fact of the matter is, they can't be resilient if they don't have a new job, or a large savings account to fall back on, or, say 100 million dollars.

I don't think Senator Obama's comments were elitist at all. They show that is more in touch with everyday Americans than either of his opponents. Hearing his comments made me think' you know what, he does get us. He does understand everything isn't rosy. And with that perspective, he will change things' If HRC and John McCain want to believe that unemployed Americans are standing tall with pride, bleievingtheir government cares about them or that there aren't different classes in America, they are living in their elitist world.

In my small PA town, there are strugling families living with 3 generations in a 800 sq ft house and there are mulit-millionaires living in 10,000 sq ft houses. Why is no one willing to admit that there is a class system in the USA and there are substantial differences between us? Obama is the first politician in a LONG time to recognize the TRUE state of this country, the TRUE make up of this country. He is telling it like it really is, and then telling us what he's going to do to change how it is.

He has great courage to face this issue, just like the race issue, head on.

Obama is absolutely right, and his comments show that is actually in touch with working-class Americans when he says they are bitter about being told by politician after politician that their jobs will be coming back, and then they don't - thanks to things like NAFTA, CAFTA, and so on. Obama understands that they are bitter over that, and doesn't blame them or look down on them for feeling that way. He just happens to be the only candidate willing to speak the truth publicly; this is consistent with him going to the automakers in Detroit and telling them they have to make more fuel efficient vehicles, knowing that wasn't what they would want to hear from a presidential candidate. But he's right about that too; the best way for American auto companies to compete with Toyota and Honda, and thereby assure jobs for the working class, is to abandon their old ways and actually make cars that are better for our pocketbooks (better mileage, safer, more reliable).
Bottom line - Obama sees the big picture and how we can bring this country to new levels of prosperity, and is willing to speak the truth about what we need to do to get there.

Obama never struggled a day in his life. He was raised in a white community at the best schools. Went to the best collages and lived a good life. Rezko saw he wasnt hurting while building this base in Chicago with his helping th epeople. Ya right he was so tight with Rezko and if he cared why didnt he make Rezko fix th etennaments he rented so they would be livable. Obama and for sure his racist wife wouldnt live in them.Obama took money from him and gave letterheads of introduction to Rezko and knowing what he was doing to th epoor people mostly blacks and he turned his head. Not what I want for apres. Go back to your great Chicago

GO HILLARY !!
Obama is ARROGANT - so is his wife & campaign.
He cannot seem to answer a question without a prepared speech, nicely delivered on the teleprompter - his whole campaign is staged for show - and now we see!
Maybe now Obama should step aside "for the good of the party" - he will not be elected due to his radical friends and comments - his background & judgment are far too questionable to be President of the UNITED States.

Oh please! I can't believe the Clinton camp and the news media are making such a mountain out of this. I know many people who are indeed bitter about the direction our government has been traveling over the past 16 years. I agree that Obama could have phrased it better, but what he said was essentially true. Where is the scandal in that? How does that make him an elitist?

Independent in PA — Sat, 12 Apr 2008 17:49:10 GMT

These are the words that Obama used to EXPLAIN his unconscionable comments: "So people -- they vote about guns, or they take comfort from their faith and their family and their community," he said. "The truth is that these traditions that are passed on from generation to generation, those are important. That's what sustains us," he said.

SORRY, but I don't think that guns, faith, family, community are quaint "traditions" for simple people that are "passed from generation to generation" to "sustain us." These are the unchanging self-evident truths of human beings that are endowed by our creator and guaranteed in our Constitution. So, for Obama to continue to dismiss these "traditions" as things that distract us from more important things is unbelievable. For him to view these as "traditions" that might be malleable or over-rideable by a more enlightened government is extremely dangerous.

Well, looking back, I remember why I didn't like Bill Clinton when he was running against Jerry Brown. But he won the nomination, he was better than GHW Bush, so we went for it. And he did a decent job. Now GW Bush has lowered our standard for Commander in Chief so much (no president left behind) that we actually think someone like Hillary is qualified to be president, because her husband was. It's time to jettison her. We got bigger fish to fry.

Obama is nothing but a snob. A racist one at that. We don't need a so called leader that looks down their nose to spite us. Obama is a guy that has accomplished absolutely nothing in his life save for writing a couple of books that made him a lot of money. The man, and his supporters, are nothing but phonies.
Typical White Person in Rural PA

LOL!LOL!LOL! Do you really think Hillary considers you her equal???? LOL!LOL!LOL! You think SHE doesn't look down her nose at you???? LOL!LOL!LOL!
If you had half a brain,you would know what Obama said was the truth.
Being bitter about getting the "shaft" is a resonable response....don't you think?

An interesting discussion in the House of Representatives by Bernard Sanders (I - VT), Peter DeFazio (D - OR), Maurice Hinchey (D -NY), and Major Owens (D- NY) on May 3, 1995. (Almost 15 years ago)

http://www.monitor.net/monitor/10-9-95/angry.html

Here's an excerpt

Mr. SANDERS. "It is no great secret that throughout the United States of America today there is a great deal of anger, there is a great deal of unrest. Fortunately not every angry person goes about blowing up buildings and killing hundreds of innocent people, but all over this country, people are feeling an unease. Something bad is happening and they do not quite understand what it is about. What I would like to do this hour, Mr. Speaker, with the help of some of my colleagues, is to perhaps try to explain to the working people of America, to the middle-income people of America, perhaps some of the reasons why people are angry, why people are frustrated, and then maybe make some suggestions as to how we can develop public policy which will improve life for all of our people.

Mr. Speaker, let me begin by quoting from an I think very important article that appeared on the front page of the New York Times on Monday, April 16, just a couple of weeks ago. And what it says is that the United States of America today has by far the most unequal distribution of wealth in the entire industrialized world. "

Further points made

"To compensate for the falling wages, American workers now working an extra 1 month a year "
"Major corporations earning billions in profit paid zero Federal taxes"
"Trickle-down did not benefit the majority of the American people"
"Working-class people are angry for good reason"
"Excessive inequality can break the spirit of those trapped in society's cellar "
"How is a worker supposed to bring up a family on $4.25 an hour"
"Through NAFTA the standard of living has dropped 50 percent for average workers in Mexico in the last 6 months "
"We are failing to invest in our own future"
"We keep sending manufacturing jobs overseas, chasing the cheapest labor"
"We exported 20,000 jobs to Mexico in 1 month"
"We are driving down standards of living in this country to benefit a few corporations"
"The Speaker said recently that the price of labor in the world is set in south China"
'Competing with desperate Third World countries where people work for starvation wages"
"The Contract With America benefits the people who go to the $1,000 a plate fund-raising dinners"

People this was a discussion held in the House of Representatives some 13 years ago. And not much has change. People are still angry/bitter about losing their jobs. To some how make it demeaning to say so is disingenuous.

I'd much rather have someone recognize the situation then to pander to me by saying I'm a hardworker and I'll roll up my sleeves and persevere. The working class knows they work hard, but they want that hard work to mean something.

Thanks to Senator Obama for recognizing this!

She just needs to shut up. She has done more to destroy the democratic party than anything anyone elected official has ever done. All my family and friends voted for her in the Texas primary. She has none of our support now - I think she is a bitter person.

To imply that the people of PA cling to guns and religion is to assume they use it as crutches.
Ironically this coming from Obama who expected the whole country to accept his continued support to his church and pastor which don't fit the mold of norm in most churches that would rather focus on hope and peace.
Seemingly intolerant and insensitive coming from a man who wants to be known as a "Uniter"
What I hear is anything but !

THE TRUTH IS THAT HILLARY, IS GETTING TOO OLD AND FORGETFULL EVEN FROM THE STRESS OF RUNNING AN UNSTABLE, FUSTRATED AND ON-EXPERINCED ELECTION. COS WE CAN ALL NOW UNDERSTAND THAT HER EXPERINCE LACKS CLARITY. HER HUSBAND CONFIRMED HER WEAKNESS EVEN IN THE NIGHT TO ANSWER THE CALL WHEN IT COMES. HILLARY, GOOD U HAVE TRIED TO WITNESS THE STRENGTH OF OBAM. AT LEAST U HAVE MADE A RECORD OF A RUNNING MATE TO THE GUY THAT IS BRINGING CHANGE TO THE FUTURE OF US. CLINTONS ARE SELF-INFLITING

Military Democrat — Sat, 12 Apr 2008 17:59:19 GMT

Proud military member (democrat) and highly disappointed (bitter) in the direction the country has gone. I would rather not before I would vote for Hillary and her 100 million dollar bank account. Constant lies. As military member I upset that she would lie about sniper fire when my comrads are dying on a daily basis. Hillary is a idiot.
