Grasping at straws comes to mine here; Obama supporters! Obama is a ego maniac and very arrogant. 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 flock and the media don’t get or the DNC for that matter doesn’t get is, 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, Ok knew about but was not in church, not there, 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……..

No he really didn't realize he used the wrong words for at least a day when he still defended his words and then on the second day he "realized" he used the wrong words. In other words he realized it would affect his candidacy so who is the candidate who will say anything for their win??? He just hides it well in rhetoric. Let me guess everyone will say he did another bone headed move. Because he does bone headed moves while Hilary does devious things, I am just glad the double standard is just so much more obvious now to the point of being ridiculous.

I can barely contain how angry I am at Hillary Clinton right now. She is using this minor slip-up in wording to make sure that when she loses the nomination, she takes Obama down with her. She knows full well that he is absolutely right about the bitterness out there. She's doing the worst kind of political pandering and it makes me sick! I can't believe I voted for both Clintons twice! NEVER AGAIN!

Of course Senator Clinton is not pandering to gun owners, or church goers or bigots! You would think that Obama's "Sportsmen" would be insulted by his portrayal of them to a Cream of the Crop, rich Marin County audience that Obama is absolutely at home with.

I agree with the PA Sportsmen completely. Senator Obama's remarks are being blown way out of proportion. Maybe it was not the best choice of words, but he understands the blue collar working class of people in this country and how they feel. Senator Clinton is acting out of desperation, and will try anything and do anything to when the nomination of her party. I believe she wants to win so bad, she doesn't care if it costs the Democrats the White House in November. She needs to stick to the issues and quit attacking her opponent on trivial matters.

I HAVE DONATED TO OBAMA SEVERAL TIMES ( A LITTLE HERE, A LITTLE THERE AND WILL CONTINUE TO SUPPORT HIM) HE IS A GOOD MAN (EVEN HILLARY SAID THAT TODAY)
I WOULD HAVE EVEN SUPPORTED HIM ASKING HER TO BE VP(NOT ANY MORE-SHE SOUNDS ORE AND MORE REPUBLICAN EACH DAY WITH EACH VILE COMMENT FROM HER MOUTH)
SHE IS REALLY REACHING HERE- PERHAPS OBAMA "MIS SPOKE" ABOUT THE BITTER COMMENT.-SHE SHOULD KNOW ALOT ABOUT THAT- NAFTA, MARK PENN BEING "FIRED" AND OF COURSE THE BOSNIAN SNIPER FIRE SHE HAD TO ENDURE. SHE LIES SO MUCH AND THEN "ACTS" SURPRISED AND CRYS WHEN SHE IS CAUGHT TO GET THE SYMPATHY VOTE. NOW SHE CLAIMS TO BE A CHURCH GOING, GUN TOTING REGULAR GI JANE!!! RIGHT- PERHAPS SHE NEEDS A GUN TO PROTECT HER MULTI MILLION DOLLAR HOMES! WE ALL KNOW IF SHE ACTUALLY HAD A GUN SHE WOULD HAVE USED IT DURING THE LEWINSKY DAYS!!! =)
NICE TRY- I BELIVE THE PEOPLE FROM PA ARE NOT QUITE AS GULLIBLE OR AS STUPID AS THE CLINTON MACHINE IS HOPING. IF THEY ARE THEN THEY GET WHAT THEY DESERVE!

I agree that this is just one more pathetic attempt to turn voters away from the real issues and to hold on to hope that she'll get the nomination. The huffington post has an article called Bill Clinton Flashback: "All these economically insecure white people...are scared to death." Here's a paragraph from the article:

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.

I was a Clinton fan in the 90s. Now I just find this all just sad.

Poor Hillary, her campaign is so screwed that this complete non issue is their only remaining line of attack. The saddest thing about this is how the media is playing along with her and McCain's line instead of calling this what it is, a pathetic and cynical attempt by Obama's opponents to create an issue where none exists.

The best thing about this is that it shows just how amazingly out of touch both Clinton and McCain are. To imply that the American people are upbeat and optimistic about how things are going right now shows that they only American's the Clinton and McCain campaigns are really listening to is the top 1% who are currently doing just fine.

How dare he remark on any people turning to their religion with his 20 year record. He statement means 'rural' America is so backwards they shun those not like them, turn to their guns and religion...only have the intelligence to 'vote wedge issues'.

How dare she. Billary made $108 million dollars and she is calling someone who started working with steelworkers in Chicago who had nothing after the mills closed (lived there, watched it happen) an elitist! She is a liar and an opportunist who is losing....desperate times require desparate measures..

This is right on the money. I am a Philadelphia resident and I live in the "so called" big city. I am very bitter with our government and dont believe in the system. I was told a lie to go to war, I was told the oil would pay for it, i pay more for my healtcare, I have to decide food or gas to get to work at times and when these sentiments are expresses to our V.P. he says,"so"!! I am 35 years old and this will be my 1st time ever voting. Barack comes accross more as a regular person and less of a politician. There were plenty of opportunities for Barack to take political cheap shots at Hillary for lying. Instead, he simply gave Hillary and Bill the freedom to explain their lying. There has been a Nafta screwup with their leading surrogate. People were questioning her elitism based on 109$ million income after they left the White House. Some income reported from special insterest. This went on for the past 2 weeks and Obama didnt say a word. The moment he says something truthful but inarticulate she and her co-partner(McCain) jump all over it. She said McCain and her passed the "Commander and Chief threshold". That is when i knew it is not about the party but about her. She is know a gun totin, ruff anf tuff Crown Royal drinkin, chase it down with a mug walking chick. Give me a freakin break. This is coming from someone who used to love the Clintons. She and her husband are classless people. Before this campaign, I thought so highly them. Boy was I fooled.

Bitter and glad he said it, Charlotte, NC — Sun, 13 Apr 2008 23:51:00 GMT

I'm in NC and I can't wait to vote for Senator Obama. I was undecided until I heard this hissy fit over a simple word "bitter". If the voters of PA and the remaining states will read the entire statement by Senator Obama, they will see that he is saying that he understands why people feel the way they do. And yes, his statement is 100% true that small towns across this country have been abandoned by the Clinton and Bush administrations. Both are leaving a mess in their wake.

Here's the entire statement:
"You go into 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."

"And 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."

I was leaning towards Senator Clinton but her "misstatements" about Bosnia and trying to make political hay over this statement is shameless and it really does show what lengths people will go to get elected.

I am an African American female that was sincerly leaning towards Clinton but not now. I want someone that is going to be sincere. Senator Obama is as close as we'll come to someone who really understand the mess that we're in and will work hard to get "ALL" of us out of it.

I signed up this weekend to volunteer for his campaign. Come on fellow voters ... this time it's about us. Let's make it happen!

Hillary Clinton's Real Feelings About Working Class Americans

Barack's point about small town America is right... that they are being devastated economically. It is the reason I no longer live in my hometown of Constantine, Michigan. There just are not enough high paying jobs, especially after the GM plants in Constantine and Three Rivers closed their doors.

I encourage everyone to take a drive through the country and stop in each downtown and count how many vacant store fronts there are. If you were not aware, you may be surprised. I have done this in Illinois, Ohio, Michigan and Kansas and the result is the same and sad. Small town America is struggling and in many cases the once idelic small town scene (what most Americans see in their heads) has been replaced by boarded up store front windows, roads and sidewalks in disrepair and often a more sinister drug problem. The population sign at the town entrance is often a mis-statement as young people can not find work.

Hillary has been warned that her so called outrage about Obama's statements would come back to bite her and here it is:

From the Huffington Post:

Oh, noes! Would it crush anyone's beautiful velveteen pony to learn that Hillary Clinton hasn't always been a duck-hunting, beer-drankin', Senator-Saint who walked among the commoners and lived as they do? It's true, it's true, and apparently, there are witnesses!

Harvard University political scientist Theda Skocpol - also an elite, I guess! - provided Talking Points Memo with a following statement, which, in part, reads:

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. Even more so to see her pretending to be a gun-toting non-elite. Give us a break!...

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"! (I won't say the only time, because U.S. political history is full of absurdities of this sort.) In a way, it is funny -- and it may not be long before the jokes start.

Perhaps, however, it can be said that Pennsylvanians are not "bitter," at least, relative to their candidates.

I was born & raised in a western PA steel town -- 25 years ago when everyone's dad worked in the mills. Life was good, the neighborhoods were beautiful. Whenever I go home to visit my parents, I'm always saddened and shocked at what the town has become since the mills have closed. Many downtown shops are boarded up, formerly beautiful old architectural homes are now inhabited by druggies, and crime has skyrocketed. It's a very sad situation. I wish Jack Murtha would pull Hillary aside and tell her the truth: Life in steel-town Pennsylvania is not the rosy picture Clinton is trying to insist it is. What's more, she knows better. People are in real trouble. They're not as naive as Hillary's hoping they are. They're under no illusions that the steel industry is coming back. Yes, they're despondent -- and yes they're bitter.

Seems to me that any and everything Hillary says should be scruntinized before reporting. She needs to be held accountable for the many lies she tells on a daily basis.
Senator Obama's words have only been thrown out of context to those who are not paying attention. After her Bosnia lie, you would think that the voters have had enough of her. She doesn't care about people, nor can she relate to the average American worker or the umemployed. She only want the vote, that's all. After you've been fooled by her, things in Washington will be business as usual and the jobs will keep moving overseas. She supports NAFTA. After all, NAFTA is her husband's legacy.

If you reject Barack, what will you end up with? Why would Hillary or McCain feel a need to do anything differently for your communities or any community? Hillary thinks no one is bitter and are all happy-go-lucky and poor old John McCain, well, bless his heart.

It goes on and on and on.

For those sheep who continue to support her, I ask when enough is enough? We've had one "liar" in the White House in the 1990's do we need another one who just happens to have aided and abetted the first one?

Hillary is shameless...she knows very well that what Obama said was true. As one person stated, bitter, angry, frustrated...it is all the same...maybe Obama should have said angry or frustrated...he used the wrong word. In the meantime I think Hillary is making much to do about nothing on purpose...she now realizes that she can't possibly be the nominee...so she is trying to make sure that Obama does not win the election...she feels she can come back in four years...but she doesn't want to wait 8 years when she will be close to 70 years old. She won't remember a thing then...as Bill said...she can barley remember now because she is 60 years old. On that same note...I think Bill Clinton is purposely trying to blow the election for Hillary...he doesn't want to have to give up the money he is making lobbying for those issues that she "claims" she is against...even though she is benefiting from the large sums of money that her husband is raking in. Bill is trying to lose this election for Hillary and Hillary is trying to make sure that Obama, if the nominee for the Dems, does not win the General Election.

Friend of Obama — Mon, 14 Apr 2008 12:06:08 GMT

I was at the Obama town hall meeting on friday night in Terre Haute and it was won of the best moments of my adult life then I get home only to find out that McCain and the repubclintons were already turning things that where said into negative fodder, to spread all over the news like wildfire. I think as Obama supporters we should all make a 2 min video to put on youtube explaining to the American people why we ,in fact, are bitter because at least for me, those words rang true. I am not a bitter person but I am very bitter at the lies that I get from my government. Mr.Obama is the only one that understands how bad the state of our great nation really is and we should all let the rest of the world know how we feel.

All you Hillary supporters:
Why do you all have to tear people down in order to raise your candidate up?? Thats the problem with typical politics in this country. And it's getting worse!! It used to be between the parties. Now the Clintons (and all her supprters) do the exact same thing to memebers of their own party. There have been out right lies HRC has made that Obama has said nothing about. (Bosnia,Bill's $800,000 from Columbia, MArk Penn)Yet any little thing she jumps on, no matter if it is true or not. I think, no hope everyone see's that political depsreration is motivation behind HRC comments.
Obama actually spoke the truth and like we all learned growing up, the truth hurts. The government does not care about about the middle class. It hasn't for a long time and the Clinton's are part of that time.Yea I am bitter, and I make what is considered a good living, yet just can't seem to get ahead. I do not have offshore accounts. I do not get tax breaks.I as a small business owner, can't ship my plant oversea's. We are all free to back whomever we like, but to say he is elitist is ridiculous. And even moreso coming from a candidate who grew up wealth and priveledged, and one whose owns more homes than 99% of the people in country. The Clintons made over 100 mil the last 8 years. Do you think they worry about their daughters education? Do they think about the price of gas when filling up the limos? What about the McCains? Obama just finished paying off student loans, something I can relate to and I am sure many of you can. GRew up with grandparents, not mom and dad. Got into Harvard (do any of you know how hard it is to get into Harvard on merit alone? I tried,it didn't work)Is it not a bit hypocritical calling Obama an elitist?

anyone that says they will vote for Mcshame before Obama was not going to vote for him in the first place and just don't care that there will be a lot more of our soldiers die because of their vote. Fellow democrats Hillary cannot win...deal with it.

Thank you Hillary Clinton for reducing this election to the absurd.

With the world and the country both in dire need, the Clintons drag the country back to politics as usual . . . the politics of hate

I pray that America wakes up before it's too late

Aside from the clumsy way he presented the message I a totally in agreement with his comments. Thank God for the Sprtsmenand womenof Pennsylvania, I love you all. I would also like Hillary, Mc Cain and the MEDIA to STOP SPEAKING FOR US AND PENNSYLVANIA. They are putting our feelings into their own words.I am so stressed and angry and yes bitter because whenever I call support centers for my credit cards, mortgage company, computer I get a person I can hardly understand. I am speaking to them from another country, It is one thing for the manufacturing jobs to go to foriegn countries but it's another for the technical support jobs to be outsourced. This doubles our jobless rates and no one is doing anything about it. As a matter of fact the BILL CLINTON is the source of this problem and he is still dabbling involved. The Clinton camp is riddled with Free Trade connections ( Penn) who is still a part of hr campaign.

Let's face it, if you read comments like the ones written here you can see that a lot of voters are stupid. Hillary Clinton has appealed mostly to the lower educational and socio-economic blocks because they are duped by her incessant attacks. She has had no success in trying to sell her bogus experience so sahe has to knock down Obama to have any chance at all. And a lot of folks are stupid enough to believe her. She will say and do anything to get votes, including pandering to the lowest common denominator. She is a cynical and vicious politician, who doesn't mind destroying everything in her path to get elected. Anmd when the Republicans win in November because Clinton has trashed Obama unmercifully, she will of course find another story to deny her involvement. Any one who votes for her deserves the poor government they will get.

How dare Hillary call Obama Elitist. They're the ones with the 110 million. Let's face it, Obama told the truth. The only word he used wrong was "bitter." I'm not bitter - I'm angry! Angry I have to listen to the Clintons over and over with all their ELITIST BS. GO OBAMA!!!

Well, it gladdens my heart to hear and read that people can be objective in what they hear rather than jump to conclusions or are motivated by the media or some one elses opinion. Thank God for thinking Americans that are not blinded by the retoric that and ficade that HRC is putting out there. You don't have to apologize for speaking the truth Obama, but for those who are shallow in their way of thinking my need put them in elemtary terms for them to understand what it is you're saying.

It is your words that count, Hillary did not say them.

IT IS REALLY QUITE CLEAR WHAT OBAMA SAID. WHY IS MEEKA AND ANDREA TRYING TO PUT THE SPIN ON REMARKS THAT WERE OBVIOUSLY NOT THOSE OF AN ELITIST, BUT THOSE OF SOMEONE WHO HAS BOASTED ABOUT HIS ABILITY WITH WORDS? WHEN OBAMA SAID "WORDS, JUST WORDS" AMERICA WAS LISTENING. HILLARY WAS SIMPLY POINTING OUT THAT OBAMA KNOWS WHAT HE IS TALKING ABOUT, BUT THOSE OF US WHO CAN SPELL NEED NO DEFINITIONS FROM HILLARY...OR ANDREA...OR MEEKA... (SHE LOVES TO HEAR HERSELF TALK DOESN'T SHE?]

I do not resent being called "bitter" at all; because I am bitter and I know it!

I DO however being called "Stupid" by being expected to buy-in to these latest, pointless, well off the mark, and extremely transparent attacks aimed at making me feel "bitter" toward someone who was clearly addressing those issues I am most bitter about to a group of folks already firmly committed to addressing these issues!

Sen. Clinton does need to talk about the voters; but we do not need her to explain to us or anyone else how she "thinks" what was said by her opponent will make us feel. We are just as capable of doing that as she could ever hope to be. We have been proving this over and over again throughout the course of this primary campaign. If she would just look at the primary, caucus, and polling results to date, she could definitely get a "clue".

Sen. Clinton knows understand what Obama was talking about, and Iam really tired of her spinning words like people don't understand. I was really happy to see a woman running for the highest job in the land but after watching her for a long time. I don't think I will vote comes November. She has proven to be a TYPICAL POLITICAN.
