Hillary Clinton Mellencamp Calls Obama Remarks 'Elitist'; Obama Admits Less-Than-Eloquence

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!
