Jon, TX — Tue, 15 Apr 2008 13:25:35 GMT

Is there something political that is causing Penn.'s gov. to campaign for Clinton as vigorously as possible? The NYT has an article on him:
He helps craft Mrs. Clinton’s messages, escort her
around the state and introduce her at events. He has enlisted his fund-raisers to
assist her, ginned up endorsements and coaxed some superdelegates into staying neutral
until after the Pennsylvania primary. He has made commercials for her. He juggles
state business and her political business with equal urgency — haggling over financing
for a development project in Wilkes-Barre and an airport expansion in Erie one minute,
calling in to Andrea Mitchell on MSNBC the next.

Obama, get real and show your real face one for all. Obama arrogance and feeling that he is better than anyone else. Obama and his supporters really belief what some in the media is trying to portrait of him a SUPER OBAMA!!! I hope God doesn’t lets us have him for president, it will be really more dangerous and chaotic, disastrous economy and very crazy international relationship with the rest of the world in this country than the one we are getting from Bush.

I think it is sad to watch Senator Clinton foaming at the mouth about Senator Obama's bitter comment like a rabid dog, claiming to be "disappointed" while she can barely conceal her glee . . . it's uncomfortable to watch. It just reinforces the feeling that I have always gotten from "the Clintons", that they are at their core actors reading from a script. Too bad this is our real lives and not a dress rehearsal . . .

Please read
I don’t know how many “test” Obama must receive before people began to see his strengths and abilities to lead this country. We now have McCain and Clinton (all 3 of them) coming down on Barack and he is now showing his abilities to fight back.

I find it funny that HRC has a commercial from “rural people” saying – “I’m not bitter”… well the people in the commercial are standing in a CITY and truly don’t look that “rural” to me. He should fire back with a commercial of “rural people” (farmers, small towns, etc)… those people ARE bitter. Heck… … I’m bitter! Our government is looking out for others before taking care of our own. McCain and Clinton are as out of touch as Bush… but hey… … … they come from the same old politics.

It is time that we end this and I feel a BIG upset getting ready to happen in PA. It is time for us to come together – men, women, young, old, black, white… and stand behind our next president – Obama. We can not stand for him to continue to be broken down over what we know in our hearts is right.

Hillary Clinton ries to show how much of a blue collar woman whe is by drinking a shot and a beer (Crown Royal, made in Canada). She is about as blue collar as I am a liberal.

Hillary Clinton .. or Bill Clinton ... do you not see what you are doing to the democratic party?
Where as we are not telling you to step down you should continue to run .

But you are running your campaign like a republican !Even worse. Even Mitt Romney did not turn to this !
You are running your campaign like the republicans ran against Bill Clinton, John Kerry and Al Gore.

Worse still you have shown NO RESPECT for the candidacy of Barack Obama.
Your hatred for him shows.

"How dare he run for president?How dare he outplan and outwit you?Who does he think he is?
Does he not know that America owes me the presidency because I suffered from my husband's infidelity and my public humiliation that came from his lying and impeachment in office?"

He has shown great restraint in not delivering a knockout blow to your campaign.
All he has to do is to reming Americans what a Clinton presidency will be like.
But he hasn't done so .... because Americans know this already.. and thats why he's won 30 states, more deligates and more people have voted for him.
That fact you cannot contest.

There's something about MATH that is clear, indisputable and settling.
Chew on that !

Oh my heavens, I should frame this blog entry cause I just about agree with everything.

I am SO OVER this issue and I bet a lot of people all over the country are so over it too. The Clintons truly are out of touch (and desparate) if they can't see that.

I understand there is repair work that needs to be done with this and I am confident that Obama can and will and he will continue to garner a broad swathe of support. Just not understanding why the Clintons are continuing to bash him over it except for no other reason then its just the only way they think they can win. Wow, what a mandate, wow, what a reason to support them ::eyeroll::

Why is this bitter comment such a big deal? Does the media always have to follow Clinton's preferred storyline? Why do you let her dictate the news' narrative?

What I really don't understand is why Obama's yes, inartful, words are somehow worse than Hillary Clinton's blatant lies? Let's see, there's sniper fire, NAFTA, the family leave act, and many, many more. (The sniper fire by the way, is not a "misstatement" as it's often labeled, but a lie.)

And what about the fact that Bill Clinton said pretty much the same thing as Obama in '91? Why isn't the traditional media reporting that? Why isn't that a soundbite played over and over and over ...

Jon, TX. Its as simple Mrs. Clinton being utterly incapable of crafting her own message which infers her inability to define herself. She possesses no leadership skills which is apparent by the schitzophrenic nature of her campaign and the constantly changing message. In fact she is governed mostly by polls, which is why she can't deal with controversies/gaffes bc you can't poll the future and adjust your message accordingly. She's frightenly similar to W in this way; she is just a puppet.

It is interesting that this is not taken in context. Obama was speaking privately to an "elite" group making generalizations about another group. Essentially he was talking behind their backs to get support from the elite group. Kind of like telling the Canadians not to worry about his views on NAFTA.

It's time the news media gave us reader's a break on the 'bitter' issue. It has been front page news for 5 days. How about reporting on real issues, Hillary's support of NAFTA and the Columbian Trade Deal are news, along with the Federal case 'Clinton vs Paul; I don't see how the wording of his speech could be more news worthy than a candidate's status as a defendent in a Federal case; Hillary is accused of accepting 1.2 million dollars in illigal campaign funds and it is less news worthy than the word 'bitter'? People are bitter when their jobs are disappearing overseas and they are losing their houses while we are spending 3 billion dollars a week in Iraq.

dont trust Obama chicago il — Tue, 15 Apr 2008 13:58:53 GMT

I am from Chicago, Latino and I can’t wait to see the PA people paying back Obama for his ridiculous and insensitive comment. The biggest problem is that we don’t know about that guy, the media is protecting his identity so much that we don’t even know exactly what he really stand for.

Well, yeahh, he speaks a lot about his belief, but, one thing is what he said and other thing what he does. For example, he talk a lot about loving the country, but the kind of friends he has, whoa re so meaningful to him are very interesting people to watch. Like Mr. J. W.
He is against NAFTA, but his advisor told the Canada government does not worry; he is not going to do what he is talking.

He is against the war, (the based of his campaign), but he is funding it, and his advisor stated that he is not going to be able to do what he is saying.

Obama said he is for and understand poor people, but he called them “bitter” group.

Obama said he is going to bring changes, ja ja ja ja ja, yeahh, it remind me Bush, with his message of changes, oh yeahh, we got great change with Bush…

The worst is that most of African American are not putting attention, they are controlled by the emotion, they just want to have a black president even if it means the end of this country.
Many more are controlled by the media who is working so hard to protect and present Obama as the Great Obama.

What could we expect form someone who doesn’t want even to use his second name and is hiding so much of him? DON’T TRUST OBAMA, IS MY MESSAGE TO YOU GUYS. I said the same thing about Bush and the result show that I was right.

Don’t trust Obama for your own safety…
I am Joan, and I approved this message….

'Bitter' Sweet Symphony, Day 4

Don't Believe Hillary's Promises ..... — Tue, 15 Apr 2008 13:59:38 GMT

We are in the political season of promises and false-hopes. When Hillary Clinton first ran for the Senate in New York, she promised the economically depressed Upstate region that if elected she would create 'hundreds-of-thousands' new jobs for the area. Since then there have been some 30, 000 new jobs. Hillary’s explanation is: blame it on Bush.

When Bill Clinton was campaigning in 1992, he promised that universal healthcare would be his priority and he would assign Hillary to make it happen. ‘Hillarycare,’ as her healthcare fiasco became known, was a lead balloon; it was shot down by a Democrat congress as a result of Hillary’s strident unwillingness to negotiate and compromise. Her now promised ‘universal healthcare’ will also likely be a failure in Congress because of her strident insistence that it must be mandatory for all Americans --- whether they want it or not. (Hillary does not understand that only a relatively small number of Americans want the government to tell them how they must live their lives.)

Hillary has yet to meet or address a group of voters to whom she has not promised something. Her most honest quote is: “I have a million ideas for America, but America can’t afford them.”

So what? Obama misspoke. He didn't lie. In fact, he educated at least one voter--me. I had no idea people in small towns were suffering so much for so long. Their "bitterness" is something we, as Americans, SHOULD talk about. How can we address the problem if no one is willing to talk about it?

The media has focused on candidates' bowling abilities and drinking abilities, but what about their abilities to educate fellow Americans about the plight of people they don't know? For me, this has been Obama's gift. Because of the "crises" that have come to his campaign, I know a lot more about my fellow Americans than I did before this political campaign. That's a good thing.

Obama spoke clumsily, yes, but it's these kinds of difficult topics that raise the discussion in American politics. I hope we, as Americans, are big enough to handle it.

This is the classic tale of the Boy (or Girl) who cried wolf.

From a kindergarten essay to Nafta ads in Ohio Sen. Clinton has been set to pounce on Obama at the first sign of error. Call it Pavlovian. She has no restraint and no judgement. She hasn't managed to feign the appropriate amount of outrage at any of the appropriate times. She comes of looking like a political hack. Like a rookie. The fact remains that Obama hasn't made the sort of mistake needed for a Clinton advantage - how ever, when he does her reaction will be the same as it ever was and she may not get the benefit of doubt.

That and she's already lost. In the race because she is a Clinton and no other.

I wonder if you read/heard the full context of Obama's statement or just the snippet the MSM media have run on a continual loop or what Clinton/McCain have used over and over again. When I first heard the cling to guns and God comment, I thought WTF? But when I saw the statements preceding and after that line, I understood what he was trying to say. I love the fact that elites like Clinton go out their way to call out Obama as an elitist. Can you honestly say that the politics of the past 20 years have been good for you or your state as a whole? Is so, then Clinton or McCain should be your president. Good luck.

I agree with the wise woman. We all can misspeak, but to lie is to fail the most important test to be President. Unfortunately for Hillary she lied about sniper fire, Not supporting NAFTA when White House papers said she helped Bill get it passed. Irish Peace fable, unsured patient who died in Ohio, but hospital administrator reported that patient was treated and didn't die. Did her father teach her to shoot a gun. Who knows, because she has trouble with the truth.
Obama has shown a great deal of restraint by not bringing up the truthfullness issue sooner, but I'm glad he did. Hillary disqualified herself to be President because she has trouble with the truth.

Actually, RZ, Obama wasn't "talking behind their backs to get support from the elite group."

He was addressing a question from a volunteer who was about to leave for PA to do some canvassing. The question was about what to expect from PA voters and Obama, if you listen to the tape and not just the soundbite, is actually empathizing with the people of rural america who've lost their jobs. Cling to wasn't the right phrase and he's admitted that, but he was not trying to be demeaning.

And for the record, it was Hillary's team who told the Canadians not to worrry about NAFTA.

Susan, Nashville, TN — Tue, 15 Apr 2008 14:16:24 GMT

Hillary just does not get that so many people simply do NOT like her, as a person because she has spent so much time in her life "going after" her adversaries. She is actually doing damage to the progress that women have made in the workplace by being so negative and viscious.

I have worked very happily and successfully in a male dominated profession for 12 years and it can be challenging. It can also be very rewarding when you are recommended by male colleauges because of your performance and hard work. Unfortunately, Hillary is displaying the type of behavior that I have seen result in people "rolling their eyes" and feeling pity for women that cannot make it on the merits yet they sling fits and "demand" to be taken seriously, and don't know when to give up when the writing is on the wall. Most people expect that if a women, that chooses to act this way, does not get her way, she will resort to agressiveness and try to "destroy" anyone that gets in the way. Hillary has confirmed this fear to so many people that her negatives are "firm" and cannot be recovered.

I have never seen women succeed in this manner and ultimately, people feel uncomfortable around them. It does not matter if you believe that women should be treated equally when your profession is dominated by men. As a woman, you must assume that the worst will be expected by your male colleauges until you prove to be otherwise. One of the most important traits of a leader is to be able to get along with and understand colleauges, and to gain their respect. You must be willing to play the "good ol' boy" game. The key is becoming one of the "guys" for real, not by manipulating, demanding, threatening, or armtwisting. This reminds men of their ex-wives and reminds women of the ex-wife that has to fight their divorce for the rest of their lives while ruinning everyone's lives in the process.

My experience is that you have to work harder, be successful but not at the expense of others and yet still be able to understand things from your colleauges' perspectives.

Sadly, Hillary is losing respect among the people, and will be pitied by everyone in the end because she believes that she is in a zero sum game. This is no longer true as voters are becoming more informed and have no patience for self-serving politicians, or leaders. People felt that a woman could overcome these perceptions, but now the most famous woman at all is making us all look like wild eyed, old school feminists that still believe that we have to fight for our equality, instead of proving everyday that we are equal.

I have seen the Hillary ad three times. Maybe I am wrong, but it seems to be really staged. My wife and I discussed it and she is actually the one who brought up that it just didn't look or sound right.

I look forward to the debate on ABC on Wednesday - Let's see who makes nice.

TO ALL THE WOMEN WHO SUPPORT SEN. CLINTON!

You might wanna thing twice before voting for Sen. Clinton as your next President. This is the woman who supported NAFA & CTDs and the folling.
1. She took your husband's jobs by supporting trade deals.
2. She took away your child's college funds.
3. She forced you to loose your homes.

This is something to think about before voting.
