N.C. Clinton Adviser Bashes Obama 'Small Town' Remarks While Introducing Bill

J, I disagree. George W. did not steal the election. It was given to him on a platter because Gore was saddled with the distasteful conduct of Clintons and could never recover. No candidate could have. With a booming economy Democrats should have won in a cakewalk. It was the Clintons that lost that election and will lose again. The Clintons are tiresome and boorish and America needs a change from the stink of GW's presidency and not a return to the stink of the Clinton's.

Robbins Mitchell: that's an immortal, if probably politically incorrect, political assessment: no one who sees it will EVER -- yea, even should one be forever banned for saying so! -- forget it.

Maybe NOW he and Clinton -- who's "likeable enough", as the ninny memorably remarked, disdainfully, in what passes for debate on teevee, but saddled with BILL Clinton -- will retire from the field for the good of the Republic, and leave the nomination to John Edwards, the hem of whose bootstrap neither of them is really fit, politically or in life experience, regardless of birthday suits and the "diversity" concerns of the Democratic Party's so-caloled "leadership", to touch.

I know where Hillary knows about
the average American. We all know her
parents sacraficed to give her two bothers and her
good education, like so many average Americans

I often wonder??? Who paid for Obama's
education? Seems like he got the best.
Where did the money come from? What
about his white family? Did they help him?
Funny, I think the Obama's are very secretive.
I want to know more about his family background. I know it costs a hellovalot of money to educate your kids. I did just that with
my two. It was a struggle. Did Obama ever struggle for anything. Maybe that's why he gave
the "elitist" speech in Pa. I would like to
know the truth about him. Sometimes, I thing hbelieve he should just start another church and go preach, like his friend.

"The second amenement is about more than "hunting"... something that seems to be lost on Obama."

Yepper. Those are all INDIVIDUAL rights. I love to see these D's spinning out. They got two socialists against an actual war hero. I'll hold my nose and vote for McCain.

Why should working class whites vote for a guy who clearly holds them in contempt and who of sound mind chose as his pastor, spiritual mentor and close friend of 20+ years a christiant Louis Farrakhan. I pity his sad, ailing white granny. Obama's going to lose big time!

The shovel's for the victory garden?
Better stock up on guns now, just in case.
Obama's courting rednecks, presumably, about "hunting". What's his pitch to armed "urban" types?

The second amenement is about more than "hunting"... something that seems to be lost on Obama. If he wins, I'm buying lots of guns, ammo, and a shovel...

"Only Edwards -- who can speak plainly without having the words put into his mouth by others..."

Puh-leeze. This socialist ambulance chaser's washed up.

Gas = 3.29 a gallon

Milk = 3.89 a gallon

We owe China billions of dollars to fund a war,I say again China a communist country owns us economically, You are dam right I am bitter. I don't think he is saying rual america is only about there guns and religion, I think he was trying to say when it comes to politics most of the time you will vote based on if this is the type of guy that wants to enforce stricter gun regs, etc... Obama actually has a good plan for hunters if anyone would bother to actually read, I don't see Hillary site with anything about hunting, he actually wants to open up more areas for people to hunt. So actaully do some research on the candidate before you open your mouth.

NC R's are registering as D's to vote for Hillary, not Obama. We want to keep this going as long as possible. Watch Denver explode...

This Ayn Rand rap is a little out of date.

The "ignorant masses" might be a teeny bit inattentive because of the ten hours a day in a chicken processing plant, or whatever. Not enough time spent listening to Jonathan Alter.

Nice try, Edgar, shifting the blame again.

The ignorant masses can't be bothered to really listen and pay attention to the world around them. All they hear is politicians making promises they can't keep to make their lives better. And they believe every word of it, as if it hasn't all been said before. It's all fresh and clean and new to them. They want someone to make their lives better, when in most cases the only person who can do that is themselves. Why do you think politicians never talk about taking things away from people like social security or welfare. No, they talk about giving you more and more and more. They buy votes with other people's money (taxes) by promising the moon. Doesn't that bother you?

It's got nothing to do with politicians being in the pockets of the rich or corporations. All of that would mean nothing if people stopped voting for them because they expect fringe benefits. STOP giving the government so much power over your lives people!

The government that has the power to give you everything you want has the power to take it all away.

If the masses are "ignorant", it is MOSTLY the fault of politicians, of the truly rich who run them, and of the captive mouthpieces in the corporate press.

You think peope are bitter now, Senator Obama? Just wait until you are elected and they find out that you can't fix all their problems.

When will the ignorant masses learn to stop looking to politicians to make them happy and fulfilled? The economy goes up, the economy goes down. The stock market goes up, the stock market goes down. There will always be good times and bad times. During my lifetime, I have noticed that, for the most part, the government usually makes things worse, not better. STOP looking for the government to fix all your problems for you. Take a hard look at your life and realize that you are probably in the situation you are in because you made some bad choices. STOP expecting other people and especially politicians to fix it for you. Take responsibility for your own actions.

Now everybody, Democrat, Republican or Independent repeat after me:

"My will shall shape the future. Whether I fail or succeed shall be no man's doing but my own. I am the force; I can clear any obstacle before me or I can be lost in the maze. My choice; my responsibility; win or lose, only I hold the key to my destiny." AMEN, AMEN and AMEN!!!!!

And one more thing: Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton, or John McCain is NOT your savior.

Of COURSE it's an economic issue. There AREN'T really any "black or white" issues -- and a half-"black" birthday suit really doesn't constitute POLITICAL "change".

Maybe Mike Gravel, who's still on the North Carolina ballot as a Democrat, will get a lot of protest votes . . .

I want to know where Obama specifically said that "white" people cling to guns & religion. I thought he said "they", so there are no black people in PA or any other small towns? & from my perspective when things are tough people do go to church more & they pray more. They do cling to religion because if you believe in God, you believe he can change your situation. & a lot of people who can't feed there children would rather do a crime than to have their children starve. So yes people do cling to guns. This is not a black or white issue its a economic issue.

If you are not in an area where families have changed because of outsourcing you have no clue how bitter people really are.

Obama 08 YES, WE CAN!!!

I have a feeling that she's on a very short leash these days. The problem is that now Obama's supporters have to put him in a short leash too! Imagine, a candidate who can't be allowed to speak in public.

For Obama supporters so enamored of him for reasons of change, please explain to me how a smart, well-educated, and prominent guy like Obama sat in his church's pews while his pastor told lies about HIV, crack, and the use of atomic weapons. I'll leave the anti-Semitism and anti-American diatribes to someone else. Again, how to you explain those away as "controversial" or mere matters of disagreement?

Obama selfishly and cowardly sat in the pews of his church because he desperately needed Wright and his congregants for political support. In other words, he's just another unprincipled politician--he just happens to be running for president before he's compiled an even more objectionable list of associations.

To be clear, I couldn't care less about the source of Wright's anger. It's irrelevant to the point of Obama's cowardice in the face of intellectually indefensible lies. He sat there, knowing better, and allowed a foul-mouthed demagogue infect the hearts and minds of many congregants SOLELY for political gain. It's the height of cowardice and the height of political calculation.

I hope he gets buried in the next several primaries. I really thought he was going to pull this off, but he can't help shooting himself in the foot.

He's the dumbest smart person we've come across in some time.

Where has Michelle Obama gotten to?? Why hasn't SHE -- the only formerly-unrich individual in the Obama machine -- emerged, to try to explain it all away?

Is Obama expecting?

What is the opinionated commented at the end of this story even doing on an ABC News story? I'm sure ABC News has journalistic standards that don't allow this. If the crowd indeed seemed bored, I'm sure Obama's comments were new to them and hard to follow. This story takes a shocking comment, too, and makes it boring and hard to follow.
The public reaction is outrage and many think this divisive, judgmental, stereotypical comment by Obama about small town America will end is campaign. It's that big. If you hear and see the video of what Obama said, it's like hearing his beloved "uncle" Rev. Wright all over again. They hate most Americans.
