Political Punch

We in PA let Obama know that he can't put us down and still expect us to vote for him.

This guy is a phony. He is bluffing his way through and all the stupid people are buying his crap.

The Senator from New York, no matter how much she pretends to be a working class hero is the epitome of an ultra elite. By pretending otherwise she affirms her world -class hypocrisy. Liar yes. Of the people no.
I doubt Mellencamp approves of her highness using his song.

The question of Obamas "elitism" cannot be addressed by answering the question of whether folks in PA are "bitter" or not "bitter. Some are (and some aren't) like everywhere else.
It also cannot be addressed by answering the question(s) of whether some people turn to religion or hunting to comfort them in hard times or whether they blame immigrants, "people unlike them" or Nafta for their plight when they have lost jobs and are suffering economic hardship

Obviously, all of these coping mechanisms are possible when people are under stress- but there is reason to question the validity of Obamas condescending explanation for their coping this way- which is that they blame foreigners, immigrants or Nafta to "explain their frustration only because they are incapable of seeing the real culprit- (which, to Obamas way of thinking is the Washington-that- is)

I think it is entirely possible for people to feel upset with their Government's inaction and, at the same time, feel upset with illegal immigrnats who are taking their jobs and upset with legislation that may be contributing to their job loss.
Obamas attempt to attribute rural pennsylvanians feelings and behavior to ONE underlying cause (the failure of existing Gov't to address their problems) is obviously self-serving since, if true (and if he could only convince rural pennsylvanians of the accuracy of his hypothesis)-- they would vote for him!
Obama's elitism, however, is most clearly demonstrated- not by the truth or untruth of his statements about rural pennsylvanians -but by his pseudo-intellectual analysis of them (as if he was an anthropologist explaining the behavior of primitive tribes!

THAT was arrogant (and elitist) since he has no training in such motivational assesment and for him to pontificate about people he barely knows for the delectation of his latte liberal supporters in California demonstrates insensivity to the feelings of the very people he professes to understand better than they do themselves.

Let me get this straight:

John McCain, a guy who dumped his first wife to marry a beer heiress ... a guy with his wife's private jet at his command... a guy whose entire political career was bankrolled by his wife's money and that of her ultra-rich friends... THAT GUY wants to say that OBAMA is elitist? Huh?

And, oh, don't even get me started with Hillary!

My previous post was in answer to Dr Hubert's

fenrisulfr, Isn't it a more than a little "elitist" of you to presume to tell Obama supporters what to think about the candidate they support?

Oh yeah and comparing Obama to Hitler, really mature...

There was a debate tonight? CNN says that there wasn't. Their website says that the candidates made separate appearances at a forum.

You seem sort of bitter and angry. Has that clouded your perceptions?

Tonight's CNN debates did reveal details about both candidates with the help of the mediators. For example, Campbell Brown assisted Sen. Barack Obama at least twice by providing partial answers when the Senator did not have knowledge about the question asked. By the end of the night, in my view, it seemed to me that Campbell moved her chair at least 6-12 inches closer to her idol the Senator from Illinois. Campbell also looked all night at the Senator from Illinois with starry eyed commentator.

One area that I learned from the Senator from Illinois that he made his wealth after getting out of college working for the poor. I guess some of us took the wrong career path by not helping the poor that would have given me the ability to purchase a $1.65 million dollar home with a $300,000 break. The Senator from Illinois omitted his work that he did along the way that includes slumlord Tony Rezko and known terrorist like Rashid Khalidi. Also, along the way, Sen. Hillary Clinton did not attack the Senator from Illinois and he attacked her twice. Once with the help of commentator Campbell Brown that stated that Sen. Clinton attacked him when discussing his small town comment. Sen. Clinton said that it was up to Sen. Obama to answer this question for himself versus her answering the question for him.

At the end of the night, I don't think any American was surprised that the political experts gave the Senator from Illinois higher ratings. The fact the Sen. Clinton gave detailed and insightful answers to hard questions, the Senator from Illinois was asked simple almost yes and not type questions. In the end, the Senator from Illinois continued his refusal to apologize about his small town comment instead saying, " I didn't say it as well as I should have". I guess there is a better way of saying that small town Americans are bitter and racist as Sen. Obama said at his fundraiser. In the end, American's know less about the Senator from Illinois than they knew about him prior to this forum.

The smoke and mirrors this time around are ridiculous. This campaign has been reduced to American Idol proportions.

Here is the only one reason anyone needs to vote for Obama: he is 180 degrees from what has been going on administratively in our country.

How can any logical human being vote for anyone else if they don't like the way things are right now? It's not a matter of passion, emotion, white, black, woman, man. If everyone were to turn off their TV's and computers and quietly ask themselves: which of the three in the race is heading down a different road than previous administrations, logic will trump all else and say, "Obama 08". If p than q, if x then y. If you want any chance for change for the better, then vote Obama.

How can a multi-millionaire that owns eight houses, wants to repeal Roe v. Wade, wants to bomb Iran, and spend 100 years occupying a sandtrap (while his coffers are lined with special interest and oil money) OR the wife of an adultering husband that has spent the last 25 years (and made over $100 million) know what's best for the average American? They are out of touch.

FACE IT!

Obama is a cold, calculating sweet talking politician!

To win the election for state senator of Illinois , he made sure that his opponents were handily eliminated... because he knew he'd never win in any other way!

To win the election for the US Senate, Obama played the same dirty game; only the names of the characters were changed in regard to the people "done in".

This is Not a "made up" story (though it certainly reads like one). Look it up in the Chicago Tribune if you dare.....in fact, you SHOULD!

The election of 2008 is NOT a GAME!

The United States is in the throes of a deep recession.

People cannot afford to pay their mortgages, and thousands of homes are lost every day.

People are losing their jobs and their medical benefits.... and their pride.

Fifty percent of our teen agers are leaving school before they graduate.
We are fighting a war that seems to have no end.

The ideas emanating from Baracka's mouth when viable... have already been offered by Hillary.

He has generated one of the dirtiest campaigns I have every seen and is out once again to destroy his competition in any sneaky dirty underhanded way he can..

But he's just the bandleader; the posters and trolls like you do most of the heavy lifting.

The mud and slander he slings at Hillary is either forty years old or something for which she bears no responsibility.

BUT

Do you really think that the masses of citizens in this country WANT to be led by a chief whose very patriotism is questionable?

Do you honestly feel that this newby can take on the tremendous burden of woes currently facing our nation... with Michelle at his side and Mr. Wright at his back, and with other, even more questionable characters at his table?

This is not about race, although he would like us to think that it is; we have already had a black president and didn't even realize it!

( Harding didn't play the race card.)

In any case, it's your vote to make.
But when you do, be very very careful.

As for me, I'll take Clinton!

I agree with the many posters who've indicated that this is the most ridiculous, overblown "controversy" of this election season. Although Obama may have used a poor choice of words, it should be obvious to "in touch" Americans that he was expressing ideas that many, many Americans would echo.

Although the Clinton and McCain campaigns want to keep the issue alive for the advantage they imagine, the news media also want to keep it going in the hope that a "suspenseful" Democratic race will continue as long as possible.

I am most amused at the frantic, last gasp efforts of the Clinton Campaign to try anything to stay in this race. How much time have we wasted on the "elite comment" now?

Seriously, while Obama could have worded his statement a little better, doesn't anyone with a bit of intelligence know what he meant? Do we have to have politicians and talking TV heads twist it out of proportion to explain it to the masses?

You should change your posting name to

American9 said: Right on Dennis,

I am glad to see someone on this blog that have common sense, and not just a fearful Republican.

Obama for President.

Stick to the issues not your frail emotions.

Thank you American9. I'm glad to see that someone else agrees that issues, and dealing with these issues is what matters? When emotions get involved judgment gets VERY CLOUDED. That is a VERY DANGEROUS THING!!!

Right on Dennis,

Obama for President.

Stick to the issues not your frail emotions.

Imagine obama as President: he says something he "regrets" again-----only THIS time he had said something about a foreign "enemy country" that could cause the start of another war.

Do we Americans actually WANT such a man as President, who shoots his mouth off in such an egotistical & pious manner, without even thinking of the consequences of what the POWER of HIS NEGATIVE WORDS can DO? This shows where obama's REAL train of thinking is----THIS IS A GLIMPSE OF THE REAL BARACK OBAMA----when he talks off the top in such a flippent manner----yes, THIS statement he made proves that he is a liar about wanting to "UNITE PEOPLE".

It proves that he is trying to "be all things to all people"----and that his loyalties lie with the WEALTHY, ELITE Democrats. obama cares NOTHING about the struggling people in the Midwest. He is so OUT OF TOUCH with our struggles, because he is busy clamoring for that wealthy, Ultra-Liberal Democratic campaign money. obama THINKS that he can buy the Nomination and the Presidency. Well, the American Middle-Class is gonna show who REALLY weilds the power of the vote in the next several weeks.......keep your eyes on the polls, folks:

OBAMA IS DONE! HISTORY! LONG LIVE HILLARY RODHAM CLINTON!

Obama is going to have a rough time digging himself out of this one because he actually voiced the way he really feels. It is not so much the comment about people being bitter--it is more the comment that people "cling" to an assortment of things he lumped together--guns, religion, antipathy toward those who are different--in frustration.

Once again, he lumps us together and judges our behaviors and beliefs as somehow inferior to his own. We are "typical" we are "bitter."

I live in Bloomington, IN where Mellencamp lives. I would not be surprised if in the next week, Mellencamp doesn't request the Clinton campaign to stop using his music. He was for Edwards, but I'm willing to bet the proverbial farm he prerers Obama.

Give me a break. Hillary is so desperate that she has to distort what Obama said because she has nothing else to "cling" to in her failed campaign for the office she thought should have been handed to her on a silver platter. What in the hell is James Carville, a Clinton partisan, doing on commenting on the flap on Meet the Press? Russert should be ashamed of himself.

Jack Smith - Hillary sees a world of huge dollar signs where she is at the helm. She is a woman and a mother who brought her daughter into a war zone under sniper fire. She is a woman who either does not speak to her husband or share a bed with him while he rakes in close to $1 Million dollars giving speeches about the benefits of a Columbia Free Trade Deal while she says she does not agree. She can not continue to have it both ways. You bet your bottom dollar that HRC knows that Billy Boy is out peddling influence for a deal that she says "she doesn't support". We are talking about "bitter" and "guns" when the Clintons are out to continue to promote self interest over the interest of Americans. This is straight up CRAZY. Unless of course you believe in your heart of hearts that Hillary has not a clue where her husband is selling his words. and perhaps that is even a scarier notion. If she is completely unaware of her own husbands business dealings how in the world is she going to be aware of all that happens in this country and the world. Bitter..shmitter...

Here is what I think....

Hillary Clinton is a sheer state of desperation. I thought she said speeches and words don't matter..unless you use words like bitter and religion in the same sentance. Obama better then any of the three knows what it is like to see bitterness in the hearts of the American minds. I am bitter that my kids school is substandard, I am bitter that I have to pay $5000 out of pocket for health insurance before my insurer kicks in a dime, I am bitter that my tax dollars go to support a war that should have never been fought, I am bitter that I am barely middle class and my child can not get a federal penny to help pay for her college education, I am bitter. What do I cling too...I cling to the hope that someday our government will be for and about the people and not the corporate elite. Got HOPE? Want HOPE? Vote OBAMA!!! Give me a break HRC and McCain....if you do not think the American people are bitter about the conduct of our government then you are SURELY out of TOUCH.

Just saw two bumper stickers yesterday. One said Women for Obama 08 and one said Republican for Obama 08. Keep grabbing at the air Hillary. You are so desperate and it's really pathetic.

Here is 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," he said.

"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," he also said.

Why are people getting mad at the truth?

Lets look at the real issues here people. Will you voting for Hillary whose husband helped to create this NAFTA thing that caused people to lose their jobs help get your jobs back? Will John McCain help you? LOL!!!! That one is really funny!!!

You people in America who don't have jobs, healthcare, education, etc. better really look at what's going on and stop paying attention to this stupid side show by John McCain and Hillary Clinton

OBAMA 08!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Gun - $375
Bible - $39
Beer - $2

Voting for an Elitist Pig from Harvard Law? Not priceless - just plain dumb!

Who in the heck is Hillary Clinton
Mellencamp?

Arthur Villareal:
The Republicans don't have a "hate
machine"!
You Democrats have cornered the
market on hate in this campaign!
What makes you think that the
American people would vote for a
Serial Liar like Hillary Clinton?
She puts Pinnochio to Shame!

Obama, how many more times are you going to shoot yourself in the foot? YOu have the momentum, all the pundits hailing your victory and tons of cash, yet you feel like analyzing the voters of your opponent. Let your staffers analyze the voting habits of rural and southern voter and you retrn to making pretty speeches and don't shoot yourself in the foot again.

Does anyone really believe their comment here makes any difference? Even if you make a good point, the typical person's eyes has already glazed over on the other 107 responses, 97% merely spout their candidates talking points. I don't why I even bothered taking the two minutes writing this out. Nobody's going to care.

I am sure we all have had a scandal or two. No such thing as a ''clean'' individual. I am sure you have dirty laundry...loads of them...

This is to ''Not Likely''. Who do you think got many poor Americans out of the PROJECTS when Bush Sr. left office??!!!! Please explain. Who brought tax reliefs to the middle class?!!! Many young Americans were able to get a top line education when Bill was in office. DOT evolved mid-to-late '90s. Bill was in office since the early '90s.

Many lost the jobs because of Bush not NAFTA. If NAFTA was the case then we would have been in this situation when Bill was in office. Many attack Hillary, but it is ok for Obama to make racial comments, support radical churches and points of views, and has the lack of any brain cells with regards to foreign policy. If he beats Hillary then I am voting for McCain. Shame on many to attack Hillary simply because they don't like her personality. Issues need to super cede that. This is not American Idol; we talking about our lives here.

"The 90s was awesome economically because of the Clintons." The 90s was awesome because the dot com bubble made us think we'd found a new way to do business where you actually didn't need any revenue. It burst. Like it had to. Want to chase another illusion? Bring back the Clintons

Obama spoke the truth, even if it's a tough truth. I was bitter when I lost my job through no fault of my own. Hillary is about as sincere as an entertainer who stands up on a stage and says "You are all wonderful. I love you all" so we all applaud ourselves, when all that entertainer knows about us - or cares to know about us - is we bought tickets. It makes us love ourselves, if we're weak minded, but it isn't truth.

Hillary to America: "LET THEM EAT CAKE!"

McCain to America: "Things look pretty good to me -- from the window of my wife's private jet!

Urroche, your husband made more money 10 years ago because Bill Clinton was president. The 90s was awesome economically because of the Clintons. So what is the problem with having it great like the 90s. The Clintons got many out of projects and passed bills through the legislation for job programs. Do you a loss of memory??

I am bitter that my husband's job is gone to India. I am bitter that he's making less than he did 10 years ago, and this job isn't even remotely secure. I am bitter that it is two years now that we don't have health insurance. I am bitter that his company's pension plan tanked. I think Senator Clinton whose family income over the last seven years has been over $100 million is talking down to me to tell me that I misunderstood what Senator Obama meant. I don't think he is being elitist. I think she is being elitist. And Senator McCain is very, very wealthy, so I don't want him to tell me that I don't understand. I know that the Republicans have been trying to put distracting issues out there like gun rights, so that we get distracted about what is really important like war and our tanking economy. Guess what? I'm not falling for it anymore. Jobs and the war are far more important to me than whether someday somebody might not be able to buy a specific type of firearm.

I honestly think Obama does not have the capacity and political experience to get America out of this mess. He doesn't even think Al-Qada is in Iraq; sounds a bit scary don't ya think?? I don't want a leader who doesn't have much solid ground on anything. He even admitted what he said was wrong so I don't know why some are saying Hillary blew this out of context; proof is in the pudding people.

People please face it. If Obama had the dismal lack of judgment to stain the very fabric of the American electorate and express his elitist, highly insensitive views to a group of San Francisco millionaires then he simply doesn’t have the IQ nor the continental compass to be president. It simply proves 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 saying exactly what he thought. 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” issue in addition to the way he handled the “God Damn America” Reverend Wright controversy clearly proves that Obama is not that “guy”. Let’s face it Hillary is and has always been—thirty five years ago and from day one.

Yes, I am bitter. When I see what has happened to this country under Bush, I am, indeed bitter and angry. I am bitter to see the ongoing assault on the middle class. I am angry about seeing $16 billion per month and the lives of so many men and women wasted on a nonsense war. I am bitter about the loss of good jobs and their replacement with Wal-Mart jobs.

It is high time we took our country back from the interests that would plunder it. It is high time we stopped this reckless and wasteful war and pledged to start no more like it.

Foreign adventurism has destroyed more than one great power in history. Let's not sit back and watch the U.S. go the way of the British Empire. China is waiting in the wings to take our place as the next great super power. And none of us would want to live in a world dominated by China.

Let me get this straight:

John McCain, a guy who dumped his first wife to marry a beer heiress ... a guy with his wife's private jet at his command... a guy whose entire political career was bankrolled by his wife's money and that of her ultra-rich friends... THAT GUY wants to say that OBAMA is elitist? Huh?

And, oh, don't even get me started with Hillary!

To even suggest that an awkwardly-worded, out-of-context statement made in a PRIVATE conversation is an "important gaffe" is utter nonsense.

Obama is right. People are mad as heck out there. They don't trust Washington on economic issues. So, they vote based on "God, guns and gays" and vent their frustration at illegal aliens (with some justification).

Obama says we can do better. He says Washington can work for the interests of Americans again.

I agree

Obama elist? Hardly.

The Clintons made $109 million, a good portion of it coming from lobbying activities that Bill Clinton did on behalf of the Colombian government to pass CAFTA, a free trade agreement that his wife claims to oppose.

John McCain once called the Bush tax cuts unconscionable, because they went to the wealthiest Americans. This is a moment when the country is in war and we are running budget deficits.

But now McCain wants to make these tax cuts permanent while he has nothing to offer to the middle class and so-called blue collar workers.

What does McCain have to say to foreclosure victims? Mr. Obama has concrete plans to provide relief.

Mr. Obama is a deeply religious father and husband, and he respects the Second Amendment and applicable Supreme Court decisions in that regard.

What will help all Americans is an end to war and economic stimulus at home.

So, people are HAPPY to watch their jobs being shipped to China? If McCain thinks that, then he is worse than out of touch. He is OUT TO LUNCH!

FACE IT!

Obama is a cold, calculating sweet talking politician!

To win the election for state senator of Illinois , he made sure that his opponents were handily eliminated... because he knew he'd never win in any other way!

To win the election for the US Senate, Obama played the same dirty game; only the names of the characters were changed in regard to the people "done in".

The truth is plain and simple. Obama is a gifted orator with good speeches( thanks Mr. Deval Patrick). His problem is that: he cannot be that larger than life personality he wants to. He was lucky so many times in his political life and still expects the free ride to continue. This is not going to happen. Let's face it. Even if the Democrats shot themselves in their feet handing the nomination to Obama, the Republicans are not going to leave Obama unchallenged. I can imagine a bunch of 527s groups attacking Obama with his own words and missteps( Wright, the "bitter thing", NAFTA and Iraq lies for voters). It's time to wake up and nominate the only democrat that can stand up against Republicans: Hillary Clinton. Like her or not is our sollution to get White House in 2008. Don't dream it's over.

obama shame of you!

I hope that Obama will take this opportunity to explain that our faith is what helps us overcome the bitterness caused by life (loss of jobs and income, etc). Bitterness doesn't cause us to have faith - God wants to help us overcome bitterness through our faith. Love of God (and others)overcomes bitterness so that even though the source of the bitterness remains in our lives, it doesn't have to rule our lives. That is what Obama meant, clearly.

Forget about Reverend Wright, Obama just gave McCain fodder to use in the general election!

Why does Obama keep stereotyping Americans?!!! You would think he would be the one not to do that. He has seriously bummed allot of Americans out.

Having had five children that are now grown and having listened to "he said, she said, he said, she said" for more years than I care to remember I do wish the candidates would tell me how I am going to pay for gas, buy groceries, pay for the doctor and if I can pay for the doctor how I'm going to pay for the medicine. Isn't it about "We the people?"

this is a sting in many many many things that Obama has said, that makes it obvious he isn't prepared to be president. he's a freshman, with some learning to do.

I think he said what he meant the first time. When you take his 20 years in Wright's church together with some of the things Michelle has said (and her senior thesis which I've read), his 'typical white person' so called blunder...one can see that these are NOT misstatements but a reflection of how he real feels about working class Americans...and in particular white working class Americans.

There is a pattern here...

Clinton is a liar period, and will do or say anything for personal power.

hopesprings, Hill and Bill received 800 000 to support the Colombian trade deal which means shipping over your job to Colombia. Open your eyes and take that into consideration do not be distracted at all by the mischaracterization of Obama's word by Hill the Bosnian General. While many working americans are facing economic down turns bcause of WBush's failed policies, Hill and Bill had earned 109 million also please remember how much money taxpayers are paying for Bill after retirement. Is that a family of elitists or regular americans? God bless America and God bless Obama.OBAMA08.

Now Hillary is playing Mellencamp. What happened to that Celine Dion song she rolled out in that big spoof on the Sopranos finale with her and Bill? You remember back when she was "inevitable." HRC is the last person on to be calling ANYONE an elitist.

BTW- Amen plainbrown1

Obama's family home was basically bought for him by the corrupt Rezko. He strikes me as the kind of guy who's been able to charm folks into giving him what he wants without him really ever having to do any work. I recall seeing the story recently that Obama was still angry at a professor who had given him a low grade decades ago. The professor had never been approached this way, but he told Obama that he was a smart guy and could do better if he worked harder. Obama claimed and still does that the grade was unfair.

Well. The word might not be proper. But in fact not a big deal – looks like Media feels boring along election at this time and tried to catch whatever word possible to twist, and to help Hillary – the best Twister.
But the reality is and it is a-b-c of Economics, that any stagnation, depression, unemployment ALWAYS increases crime level, anger, frustration and personal depression, that causes other social troubles. We all can see that. We all know exactly well, where they are , those parts of cities and small towns, where you better not to stop your car, if you drive occasionally there. We DO know those places .
(Maybe Mrs Clinton does not, being busy with her fancy party with English singer(no more Americans for her? Looks like)) and her pockets full of tax-free personal donations to herself.
So if she does NOT know that Law of economics about the reason of crime increase , then how can she pretend to operate Country’s economy without this basic knowledge?
No way she can , along with a mess to build a team, pay bills and calculate the math of expenses and math of votes as well). Same Mr. McCain, who was just happy to play with the word. Fine. How about to bring Cindy’s business to those small towns to Make beer, not just to sell? Then You will be “in touch”, Mr. McCain. Otherwise, better to take care of Your own business.

And do not send that word to “blue-color” votes. Those, who were mentioned, they sure do NOT have any color. So, Media, please, do no mess with that.

Let’s honestly look into reality: there are millions of people on the bottom of this society Right Now. They may vote. They might not. But they are still there ( and we Do Know the addresses – they all surrounded with Cash Advance Offices -24/7 ,but not government care or concern. ). If Government “white –colors” would just close eyes and we along with them – the amount of bitters will grow and grow.

Ma-am , do You care?

Looks like all that Three Clintons care about is – to get the power to fool all – colors states.
That's what we wanT????

Scratch Mellencamp off the jukebox. Put in another quarter and choose E-8, from the Doors, the new theme song for the Obama campaign:

"This is the end... my only friend the end..."

Stop blathering and re-read my post. I thought it was short enough to be understood by people with a modest education.

I said Obama has no solutions. How you flipped out into deep space with a Hillary diatribe defies imagination.

Try to stick with the subject.

Obama is an elitist. It is not about how much money you make, but your attitude. Obama, went to private schools, he went to Harvard. He was not raised poor, so quit trying to paint him as someone who had to struggle. The Clintons left the White House in debt. They could have rested on their laurals, but instead Bill formed a foundation, that helps people with AIDs and reaches out to help many countries in Africa. Hillary chose to go to work for the people of New York. The Clinton years, were the best years I have ever experienced. I loved the peace and the prosperity of those years. I want to see the next 8 years with peace and prosperity, and Hillary knows how to do that. Hillary 08.

S: Solutions? You think that Hillary has solutions? Healthcare anyone? Her healthcare will never work because it is mandated and she will not get the support she needs. It's easy when you are trying to run for an office to "promise" that billions of dollars will be spent to do this or that. It is an entirely different story when you are sitting in office.

The solution in Washington is to stop all the BS, start listening to the people and work together to find solutions because obviously the "promise of solutions" that has been uttered by every politician running in the past 50 years DOES NOT WORK ANYMORE. Promises are cheap. I want someone who can learn the art of compromise, who can talk to others and respect a differing opinion THEN turn around a make a plan.

Washington has become a place where everybody is so busy trying to keep their job, they don't do their job. The politicians use it as a gateway to garner power and money and they are so beholden to others that they are hamstringed from dong what is good for the American public.

I am suspect of any "promised solution" that is put forth in a campaign.

Hillary Clinton is morphing into McCain. The narrative she is spinning is destructive for all democrats. She preys on stereotyping, fear, and ignorance. I wish we could elect Obama for president tomorrow. I wish posting on here did any good. I wish she wouldn't betray her party. I wish this would all end. I wish the last eight years had never happened. I think many, many, many of us will be bitter if Clinton ruins the election and McCain gets elected.

It is really sad that when the Obamobots can't defend what he says, you attempt to change the narrative to what he was saying. He is not in touch with middle America, he is an elitist, and you are out of touch if you cannot see that this was a putdown by Obama.

How many of you readers:
Have ever been on unemployment?
Don't have health insurance?
Live from paycheck to paycheck?
Drive less because of gas prices?
Have ever had food stamps?
Have ever been on welfare?
Used an emergency room instead of private doctor?
Have outstanding student loans?
Have more than 5,000 of credit card debt?
Can't afford to retire?
Clip food coupons and return bottles?
Have refinanced a home to save money and pay bills?
Pay more than half a months salary towards rent?
Are bitter and pissed-off about the economy?

Well, I can answer yes to all these questions, except the rent question, cause I have a mortgage. I have 2 college degrees. So I agree with what Barack Obama had to say, so do my neighbors and so does much of America. I’m no elitist, and neither is he.

Dear Hillary and John – please share some of your multi-millions with the rest of us who struggle to just get by.

DREW: FYI. When the Clintons left Arkansas, it was one of the poorest states in the country and was ranked as one of the lowest (worst) in public education. The biggest industry was Tyson chicken which denied disability payments to workers who got carpel tunnel syndrome from gutting chickens. I didn't see the Clinton's doing anything to get those people relief.

So say again, what did Hillary and Bill do that was so great in Arkansas? (Other than Bill's use of the State Police to "secure him" women to "hit" on?)

To be sure, he empathizes you. All the while however, he offers no answers.

HILLARY CLINTON SUPPORTED NAFTA
HILLARY AND BILL PROFITS FINANCIALLY FROM COLUMBIAN TRADE DEALS WHICH SHE SUPPOSEDLY OPPOSES. THESE ARE IMPORTANT ISSUES PA VOTERS SHOULD CONSIDER.

OBAMA 08!
YES WE CAN!

People here are so busy "parsing" words they miss the message.

I lisetened to Obama's comments and he is dead on target. I am bitter...that jobs are being outsourced. I am bitter...that people are losing healthcare. I am bitter that I work longer and harder to make less.

How do I cope? I DON'T feel that I can make a difference anymore because WASHINTON isn't hearing my voice. So I find my happiness in things I CAN count on... Family, religion and my community.

I can't vote on NAFTA, CAFTA or bankruptcy laws. I have elected officials who ARE SUPPOSED TO BE LOOKING OUT FOR MY INTERESTS. UNFORTUNATELY THEY ARE NOT. I am left voting on issues that I can. Tax increases, abortion laws, state gun regulations.

I despair of the things I have lost control over and am left with only the things I can control.

Obama speaks the truth and if you listen to the message, you will see that he DOES hear us.

How does Hillary's faults relate to Obama? Or you for him or against Clinton? Please answer with some solid reasons that you infer that Obama has the credentials to become president. Not just on his promise of hope.

EAST COAST,

WHAT PRIVILAGED LIFE? HE WAS RASIED BY A SINGLE WHITE TEEN MOTHER, DIDN'T SEE HIS FATHER AFTER AGE 2, HE HAD TO TAKE OUT STUDENT LOANS TO ATTEND COLLEGE. HE SMARTS ALLOWED HIM TO GO MAJORITY WHITE IVY LEAUGE SCHOOLS, WHERE YOU ARE NOT SEEN AS EQUAL. HE JUST GOT DONE PAYING BACK $250,000 WORTH OF STUDENT LOANS LAST YEAR AND HE AND HIS WIFE'S INCOME COMBINE DOESN'T COME TO $1MILLION DOLLARS, WHAT PRIVILAGED LIFE ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?

Yea - America is wonderful especially when bloggers leave out the fact that michelle obama complained about sending her kids to a private camp that cost $20,000!
