Political Punch

Senator Casey should rescind his endorsement of Obama immediately. Where does Obama get off making his derogatory comments about PA and small-town America? Casey ran on a pro-life campaign, but Obama is for partial-birth abortion and vetoed manadatory life-saving treatment for babies born alive during an abortion. Obama and his campaign forgets that he supported the Nafta expansion bill in 2007.

Why is the NRCC delving into Democratic primary politics? Do they think they can poach on the number of moderate Republicans that switched their party affiliation? Do they respect their vote better now than when they dismissively labeled them RINOs (Republican in name only)?

I thought conservatives were interested in running against whomever is elected by the Democratic base. What business do they have sticking their nose in what Democrat superdelegates are doing?

Press releases don't cost money. Spending time writing out horrific diatribes about race as a card liberals throw about DOES NOT COST MONEY. Why don't they run ads and spend some serious money so they can deplete their GE coffers? Then they can really show the PA and other states remaining they care.

Are they suffering from a lack of media attention because their candidates ran a 20 to 25 state run? Why not get Fox News and other conservative outlets to gin up right wing propaganda instead of leeching onto our primary?

The Bible says alie will find you out.I believe obamas lies are finding him out.I believe that the likes of Dean,Kennedy and Dashall,Kerry,and Pelosi have done more damage to the Democratic party than we can overcome for years to come.I can only hope all of them get booted out when the REpublicans win the General and we can all thank them for four more years of great things for the rich. But then we will have to hear the whining from the blacks because unlike Bill Clinton,G Bush has done nada for yhem.

defending the indefensible. that should be Obama's mantra

Are Democrats willing to go down with Obama? Carville said Richardson is a liar. Who do you believe. The newly goateed one is a flaming liar.

Obama's comment sounds "bitter" apparently because small town American has not fawned over him.  After all isn't he the candidate that said something to the effect that the only rason people don't like him is because they haven't met him.  It appears that not everyone buys the smiling in your face, talking about you behind your back that is "typical" of he and Michelle. Yes let every black person vote for me but let the white people sit up front. Black people go to the back of the bus.

Psst....Bush won with the rural vote.

What idiot would insult them, their religion, and their sport or source of food, who they vote for, why they vote for them, as well as insulting them for rightly blaming globalization, all the while calling them racists at least twice in the whole quote?

A candidate looking for a scapegoat for his racism....that's who.

In Obamas warped vison,if you own a gun,oppose gay marriage or want our borders sealed your'e just bitter over your lousy job. Amazingly, he even sees the embrace of God as a reaction to the bad economy. GO AWAY SNOB-AMA!!

orlando fl,
I know you would like to have a say in this-but according to dean and co.
(obama supporters one and all)
you are on punishment and you have been silenced.

well unless you obama supporters can find a way to vote twice in the primary
and twice in the general
the person you want to win-obama will not win.
he cannot win the wh without
fl
mi
hillary supporters
and now-mad small town voters-and it seems to me-it makes no difference how you spin it now-they are mad and will let him know in the only way they know how-and that is to not vote for him
besides according to obama and his in the pocket dem party bigwigs. floridians in orlando will not have a say.
and I guess according to your reasoning that is hillary's fault too.
It shows just how emotional this has become for you.
if you are so sure you guy obama is the right one-and this election is in the bag for him
why do you have to resort to calling hillary names-she looks pretty clean to me.
I don't see any more arrogance in hillary than I see in obama
obama takes for granted black people will vote for him.
and hillary clinton has done some good for the people of this country
no matter how emotional you get in saying she has not.

jgaw said:foolish and emotional is to blame president bill clinton issues on Hillary
one minute you obama supporters are talking about how insignificant she was as first lady
and on the other hand-you talk as if she was responsible for everything that happened in bill' presidency.

She takes credit for the good in his administration so why not the bad? You Hillary Clinton supporters are just mad because your cnadidate is behind and every opportunity she gets to exploit something she does. She is dirty and arrogant as well. She thought the contest would be over by February 5th, um WRONG!!! Now instead of being proactive she has to be reactive. She can't even run her own campaign in a decent and orderly fashion. How can she run an entire nation? If this is any indication of what we will see in the White House then you can keep it.

Bitter, Angry and Mad as Hell,

Yes i am bitter, and all of you should be too.

Ask your Senator, what happen in the closed door investigation of "why 13 billion dollars in U.S. cash was flown to Iraq, and then dissappeared?".

It will show up in the Republican push for the Presidence I bet you.

Ask why Bush and the big oil is sucking the life out of Americans.

Ask why Chaney, and Halliburton is still getting big contract that you are paying for.

I am bitter because I am not afraid to look at the truth of what is happening.

A lot of you voted for Bush on MORAL issues in 2000 and 2004, It is IMMORAL for what they are doing to you and your children and grandchildren.

You should be bitter, if you have a brain that has any common sense.

Sounds like the NRCC is trying to goad Democrats into rallying to Obama's defense. They've been gaming our primary all along.
*****A

Just Words?? ..."Don't tell me words don't matter.." - Barack H. Obama

Sooooo, What does Michelle O. think about small town Americans??? I would LOOOVVE to hear what SHE has to say! LOL!!

Come on Axelrod, let Michelle speak!!!

The Obamas ~ The True BITTER Americans!

Obama now has a coverup problem. He clearly views conservative voters as rationality challenged by religion and parochialism. Though he feels that way, he now suggests he never intended to say such a thing. His credibility now stands negatively affected. His spinmasters further erode his credibility by failing to concede this makes him unelectable.

Don't blame me for future President McCain. We caucused for Edwards. Lol, the GOP has not run scared since the DEMS ran that ad against Goldwater with the little girl picking daisies.

OF COURSE OBAMA said what he said.

Any YES, he meant it the way he said it! It did sound sort of arrogant and condescending.

I should know, I was there in Marin when he said it.

DON'T BE DUPED !!!

Large numbers of Republicans have been voting for Barack Obama in the DEMOCRATIC primaries, and caucuses from early on. Because they feel he would be a weaker opponent against John McCain. With Hillary Clinton you are almost 100% certain to get quality, affordable universal health care very soon.

But first, all of you have to make certain that Hillary Clinton takes the democratic nomination and then the Whitehouse. NOW! is the time. THIS! is the moment you have all been working, and waiting for. You can do this America. “Carpe diem” (harvest the day).

I think Hillary Clinton see’s a beautiful world of plenty for all. She’s a woman, and a mother. And it’s time America. Do this for your-selves, and your children’s future. You will have to work together on this and be aggressive, relentless, and creative. Americans face an even worse catastrophe ahead than the one you are living through now.

You see, the medical and insurance industry mostly support the republicans with the money they ripped off from you. And they don’t want you to have quality, affordable universal health care. They want to be able to continue to rip you off, and kill you and your children by continuing to deny you life saving medical care that you have already paid for. So they can continue to make more immoral profits for them-selves.

Hillary Clinton has actually won by much larger margins than the vote totals showed. And lost by much smaller vote margins than the vote totals showed. Her delegate count is actually much higher than it shows. And higher than Obama’s. She also leads in the electoral college numbers that you must win to become President in the November national election. HILLARY CLINTON IS ALREADY THE TRUE DEMOCRATIC NOMINEE!

As much as 30% of Obama's primary, and caucus votes are Republicans trying to choose the weakest democratic candidate for McCain to run against. These Republicans have been gaming the caucuses where it is easier to vote cheat. This is why Obama has not been able to win the BIG! states primaries. Even with Republican vote cheating help.

Hillary Clinton has been OUT MANNED! OUT GUNNED! and OUT SPENT! 4 and 5 to 1. Yet Obama has only been able to manage a very tenuous, and questionable tie with Hillary Clinton.

If Obama is the democratic nominee for the national election in November he will be slaughtered. Because the Republican vote cheating help will suddenly evaporate. All of this vote fraud and republican manipulation has made Obama falsely look like a much stronger candidate than he really is. YOUNG PEOPLE. DON’T BE DUPED! Think about it. You have the most to lose.

The democratic party needs to fix this outrage. Everyone needs to throw all your support to Hillary Clinton NOW! So you can end this outrage against YOU the voter, and against democracy.
The democratic party, and the super-delegates have a decision to make. Are the democrats, and the democratic party going to choose the DEMOCRATIC party nominee to fight for the American people. Or are the republicans going to choose the DEMOCRATIC party nominee through vote fraud, and gaming the DEMOCRATIC party primaries, and caucuses.

Fortunately the Clinton’s have been able to hold on against this fraudulent outrage with those repeated dramatic comebacks of Hillary Clinton’s. Only the Clinton’s are that resourceful, and strong. Hillary Clinton is your NOMINEE. They are the best I have ever seen.

“This is not a game” (Hillary Clinton)

Sincerely

jacksmith...

Just as a follow up, it may well be a fact that some people are bitter because they lost their job. Had Sen. Obama said THAT, then he wouldn't have cause such a stir. But he LINKED that bitterness as to why people support the other issues. That is what was wrong with his statement.

I'm pretty cynical, but i have to say, today takes the cake

if Obama loses because people buy this molehill argument that somehow he hates guns and God, then we DESERVE four more years of Bush

The story here is Clinton's despicable behavior. McCain is not much better on this one.

Obama will be the best President since FDR if not Lincoln. And I can't wait to see the look on Cheney's face when President Obama is sworn in- God willing.

To the NRCC.........that is hysterical. Clinton could never have pulled this stunt off. I voted for Clinton and I cannot stop laughing. Oh man, I really owe you guys one. I'll tell you what if Clinton doesn't win the nomination I will pay you back with a vote for McCain.

Casey is finished and he will not even come out and issue a statement in our defense. Any superdelegate who comes out in Obama's defense on this, or takes too long to issue a statement can kiss their a** goodbye in the next election.

I would rather cling to my guns and faith then sit in the pews of Wright for 20 yrs.

If Obama wants to discuss bitterness he should look in the mirror and then go find Michelle and Rev. Wright.

That is what bitterness really is.

Democrats United,

Sen. Obama 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..."

The problem with Sen. Obama's statement is that he seems to be telling "small towns in Pennsylvania, and like a lot of small towns in the Midwest" (and everyone else, for that matter) that THE ONLY REASON they support issues like the Second Amendment, support prayer in school; support keeping the national motto "In God We Trust" on our money; support keeping "under God" in the Pledge of Allegiance; support the definition of marriage as being between a man and a woman; support the enforcement of our immigration laws; and are vocal (either for or) against free trade, is because they are bitter that the federal government isn't doing more to help small town America get their jobs back.

Sen. Obama is actually belittling those who hold these issues dear to their heart as doing so just because they are supposedly bitter. And in doing so, Sen. Obama gives the impression that these issues aren't meaningful issues. That the only REAL issue is jobs. The truth of the matter is that many individuals strongly believe and strongly support these issues because they are deeply committed to these issues.

Hey S IF YOU CAN'T SEE WHAT'S GOING ON THEN YOUR JUST LIKE THE REST OF THE POLITIANS THAT HAS SOLD AMERICA DOWN THE RIVER DO US ALL A FAVOR DON'T GO IN TO POLITICS. STAY HOME AND BURY YOUR HEAD IN THE SAND

Obama said these words to a group of donors all the way across the country from PA, in SFO. He did not speak these words to the people he was referring to. Why? They would have been incensed.

He is a fraud.

He has zero tact (a major requirement when working with congress, citizens, and world leaders).

He needs to go.

Now.

Democrat United,
Most of Clintons money was made AFTER they left the Whitehouse through book deals etc. They have also been working for 20 or so years longer than GOD.

Democrates United,

Last I checked Obama was not 'raised in a small town in KS', he was raised in Hawaii. Next time you plan on listing your 'facts', please get them right, esp. when they are about your own candidate.

If you can't understand why Obama saying these things to rich CA liberals is offensive to small town people, then no amount of explaining will help you.

Another point to be made: he stated this as a response to why he is having trouble getting small town, blue collar votes. He is basically saying "they aren't voting for me because they are bitter about their situation". Maybe he should take a look at himself instead of blaming his shortcomings on "bitter" people in small towns. So arrogant.

democrats united>

>>>>> BUT IT'S OK FOR B O
to smear Hillary's name for her association with Walmart's Board....and imply that their lack of unions is her fault.

Well, if that's true , then the association of Michelle's job and her quarter of a million dollar income from Tree-house should be considered equally offensive.

What's sauce for the goose, etc. etc.

As for Walmart in those days:

When you shopped at a Walmart, the clerks were pleasant and the working conditions were clean and well organized.

I don't know how much the clerks were paid... probably no more no less than those who worked in other big box stores...

But I know they earned Walmart stock along with their paychecks, and in the front of each store was a big sign showing the worth of that stock as it rose and it rose on a daily basis.

So maybe in those days, they didn't NEED a union because when those employees retired , they all had a smile on their faces and a lot of valuable stock in their portfolios.

people just look at all the response for obama. rich liberal elistes they are going to be running the country soon because they don't have to work for a living

Wow, this is really becoming a .....

wait for it....

...a Non-story. Of course the RNCC is hopping on this, because they know their base is in rural America and they need stop the bleeding of their constituents.

From the Clinton camp: “We don't need the pundits to tell us what we think. In the words of that old Hank Williams song, 'We're country folks and we will survive.”

Hillary and the GOP cling to the Hollywood version of small town and rural America. They like it kitschy. The folks are wonderful, rolled up sleeves, doing just fine. They will survive, so why should Washington care?

Obama will tell you the truth. It may hurt. If you can't stand it, go ahead and vote for a lie.

Hey Bush does the truth hurt so lets shut up the truth. John McCain keep letting our service personel keep dying for a war that we dont belong in.

Americans have felt for a very long time that washington does not listen . and we are bitter and we are tired of the deal making going on with little to no thought of the people who put them there...

washingtn Elites have plenty of money. If they lose their spot in washington they can sell out and make millions being lobbyist. Where small town America just doesnt have a chance in Hell to survive what you people deal out.

Obama 08

Hillary is she loving this? The republican machinery going after the dems. Will she sit back and watch? Will she stand up and be accounted for.
Attack Barack okay attck fellow dems. lets see how long she keeps her mouth shut.
She kept it shut when she was on the Walmart board.
For a woman who demands loyalty lets see where her loyalty is.

Obama's "bitter" comments are poison for any Democrat with a small town constituency (meaning most Democrats in Congress). Obama is out there trying to defend his words, saying things like, "I didn't say it as well as I should have." The problem is not how he said it, the problem is the substance of what he said, which is equating pro-gun, pro-religion, and anti-immigration attitudes with bitterness and frustration. He needs to say "I was wrong." He cannot go around saying "I was right, but said it wrong."

Obama's supporters are complaining that Hillary is hammering Obama with this. Of course she is, she has to. She has to make it clear that she does not agree with Obama, because the Republicans are already trying to pin Obama's words on all Democrats. Democrats have to strongly condemn these words in order to stay viable in small town America.

Lauren

Everyone needs a dream.

If local reporters ask these members of Congress what they think of Obama's remarks, that could extend this story and hurt him with all-important superdelegates. That's the NRCC's hope, anyway.

Republicans want Hillary as the Dem. nominee. Lets take a good look what they could use against her in a GE?
she was once 1 of them

Questioner,

You are an idiot. I normally don't respond to idiots but I would love here you explain how just because you received something from TreeHouse and Tree House is "connected" to Wal-mart, he is lying about his original statement. Wal Mart does business with Thousands of US corporations. They have to because they sell products from thousands of different companies. So I guess since I eat Kellog cereal, which Wal-mart sells, then I must be in support of Wal-Mart's horrindous labor practices?? get real.

The Republican National Convention is using this situation to deflect attention from the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. Currently, we're spending more than $12 billion in this war, and the Republicans will shout at anyone to deflect attention from their party's responsibility in the war. We need to choose better leaders in the coming election. We cannot afford McCain's "100 years" of war. My friends in Iraq are witnessing the deaths of their friends. Let us remember how this all started - with President Bush and his followers.

REPUBLICANS WILL LOSE THIS ONE ALSO. DEMS WILL UNITE. yOU HAVE NO RIGHT TO THREATEN ANYONE.

S,

All you have said is that Obama's statement was pandering. Well, Clinton has done the same thing. Again, Why is this an issue?

questioner

Wells said!

Democrats United

I did silly. Re-read the post.

Giving the deillusioned and left out Americans a voice in politics, as Obama did with his remarks, must be the worst nightmare for the GOP.

Republicans try to keep these folks as small as possible by shouting how GREAT America is and how WONDERFUL and FANTASTIC the American Dream.

So, if you do not succeed in life as you'd wish, if you feel exasperated and betrayed by the government, don't DARE to complain about America, you losers! - that's what the Republicans have told these folks time and again.

They've grown bitter. They're angry.

And then there's Obama, and HE says: folks, you're right about being angry. I understand your bitterness. Nobody has listened to you before. And if they did, it was election time, and they all forgot about it on their way back to Washington.

But Obama won't go away, he's winning the race, and he won't forget these folks' depair about their family's future. He is the first TRUE fighter for them in many decades. He has put them on the political map. Yes, these small town folks are going to be thankful to the man from Chicago.

And I should know, for I was raised by and among these folks.

That is not true and you know it!

ASton,

You were the one who said Obama was talkiung down to you. Maybe you'd like to explain how.

sf2008,

That is not necessarily true. After the 2004 election where Bush won Ohio, the exit polls showed that bush won on moral and christian values. That sounds like religion over the issues to me.

Democrats United

It's a twisted mind that can read all of that nonsense into what I posted.

So Obama told "the truth" at a fund-raising event with rich liberals in liberal San Francisco??? LOL!!! So why hasn't he spoken "the truth" in the small towns he has been visiting for votes??? Why in front of rich liberal urbanites in San Francisco instead of in front of the voters he has mentioned?? Obama is a fraud!

Does anyone else see the mad SPINNING being done by the Obamatons???

Aston,

So let me see if I got this straight... Obama is talking down to you because he said People feel bitter when their govenment looks the other way on their problems??? Or did you just decide that when your candidate of choice told you to take it that way?

I am tired of Senator Clinton talking to me like I'm an idiot that does not understand English. I am tired of Clinton pandering to my fears. I am tired of how much Clinton, supposedly a democrat is starting to sound like a republican. I am tired of Clinton thinking America doesn't have 10th grade education and can't read between the lines. I am tired of Clinton trying to make a non issue of something to cover up her lies that her and her husband has been telling all week long.

Democrat United,

Obama doesn't understand. People do vote for candidates and issues that are matter to them. We're not substitute the "real" issues to guns and religions as he suggusts.

Burton posted:

"The DNC should simply throw her out, and all her hysterical supporters with her"

ELITISM!! ARROGANCE!!!

This may work to open their eyes. If they see Obama's campaign imploding, they may decide they don't want to go down with it and switch their SD votes to Hillary. You know politicians. What's best for THEM is what's important, so YES, this may work in HILLARY'S favor. WooHoo! Keep talkin' off-the-cuff Mr. Hope. Open mouth, insert Bali covered foot.

This is conspiracy between Republicans and Hillary Clinton. They are blowing it out of proportion.The truth hurts. Obama let's hear your plan for rural America?

I'm tired of Obama talking down to me. I hate it when he lifts his head and looks down his nose like he's talking to dolts. He loves to flail his arms and point his fingers like a man possessed while he drones away.

What is he trying to prove anyway except that he's above the rest of us?

BKMC,

You seem to think that all this attention and condemnation of Obama's unforgivable perception of small town America is somehow a creation of Clinton. Obama said these words on Billionaire's Row with the Press excluded for the day. There was barely a mention of his 4-stop tour that day to the most exclusive areas of San Francisco by the Press. Well surprise, someone memorialized his true self!

He owns it.

Latrice Jackson,

Its not as bad as you think. Don't be surprised if Obama walks away a stronger candidate after this. Remember that the Wright situation helped narrow Clinton's lead in PA to single digits.

Just looking at the stupidity of this story and how much it seems that Clinton is working with the RNC these days, I wouldn't be surprised if Obama gains 10 more superdelegates next week.

Obama just won my vote AGAIN. I now see more clear than ever how he is seriously challenging the political status quo that, in this controversy, is being defended by both Hillary and the GOP.

Hillary should be truly ashamed of herself. She's turning her back on the millions of folks that have been left out thanks to Bill's free trade deals, the deals he is STILL lobbying for, and Hillary is earning millions from it. SO SHAMELESS!

Hillary is all luxury liberalism, all politics as business, all power = money philosophy.

The DNC should simply throw her out, and all her hysterical supporters with her, for once again choosing the GOP side against the frontrunner in the Democratic race. What a terrible woman, and one of the worst politicians that ever took part in a presidential race.

S,

You HAVE STILL YET to tell me WHY is Obama's statement a bad statement. Is it untrue??? You keep trying to change the subject. I want to know why this is a big deal.

Oh, and Clinton panders, McCain panders, every politician does it. I still fail to see your point.

David R. Howell

You're long on assertions and short on facts?

Wow. This is really bad. Its spreading like wildfire, faster than the Jeremiah Wright stuff. This actually hurts a lot, because I have a lot of family in small town Virginia that were supporting Obama like I am, and just are very disappointed.

Obama use the "Unify" theme to distract the real issues like the economy, health care. Americans are not united? We do! Remember 9/11, everyone's united to fight the terrorists. We're united when the country is in danger. Now, if said Americans are not united enough, then what would accomplish if we united more, better life? This is a vague issue, and you can't have better life if the ecomony is in recession. Just like Obama's Hope campaign, you can't pay your bills with hope.

Sag,

Congratulations on being "set in life". I mean that. That is the American dream. Unfortunately the Majority of America still haven't achieved it. I see now, why you sound like a GOPer. I too have mothers and grandparents that have worked all of their lives. I have worked ever since I was legally old enough to do so. I know what is like to lose jobs do to no fault of your own. I know what that feeling is like when your leader looks at the situation and basically goes "man it must be tough..." Obama simply told the truth about people's emotional feelings. WHY IS THAT BAD??

For staters I"am from a little town in s.e.ohio I'AM angry, and i do have a weapon oops.and a proud veteran!!whats all the shuck&jive about Obama?one Obama Is'nt a lifer of Washington D.C.That's made millions of dollars off the american tax payer.like Mcain& Clinton has. and others that has sold america to other countries. ILOST AGOOD PAYING factory job to mexico, so sorry if I'am not a clinton lover.seems like we have to many american communist running this country to hell in a hand bag.and most still vote these people in office, what a shame!we need change!it seems that these lifers talk out of both sides of their mouths depends who they are talking to the working class or the big business it seems that big business alway's prevails now don't it?there seems to be a lot of 7-8 dollar an hour jobs that took the place of good paying jobs thanks again clintons. can you feel me? we as Americans need to think out side the box instead of in side the box like most politicans wants us to. they want to do the thinking for us, so wake up.our constitution is going to hell also, do you still feel me. wake up america!!! so GOD BLESS AMERICA, AND ALL VETERANS!!!!!

It is one thing for people who actually live in small town America to be offended. It is quite another for Senators Clinton and McCain to be. They are not offended, the are offensive.

Democrats United

What in the world does whatever Clinton has done justify what Obama has done. Are you simple choosing the lesser of two evils or something?

How about issues instead of reverse guilt by association. And, in that regard, exactly what issues has Obama proposed a decent solution to?

PA voters should open their eyes and remember who has received 80 000 for supporting the Colombia trade deal, it is part of Hill and Bill's 109 million earnings. That is the reality. This cahracterization of Obama's words is another way of distracting voters from serious issues which is their jobs are gone and their health plan and their pension because of trade deals signed and supported by Hill and Bill. While hard working amercians have lost their jobs, Hill and Bill earned 109 million including 800 000 to ship over their jobs to Colombia. God bless America and God bless Obama. OBAMA08.

S,

I haven't admitted to anything. But if you want to go there, I will admit that what I git from his statements is that he was panderings to people's concerns about the future of the job market in that state. How is this any different than what Sen. Clinton has done??

Democrats United
I really could careless I am 60 years old ...I am all set in life...so are my kids..I don't need to lie to you or anyone else...those are facts...this is my mother-in-law NOT grandmother of course someone who supports Obama reads things that are not there....is it hard for you to read a book and understand it? ....Look who is stupid.... or you don't understand.. YOU ARE BOTH! I won't reply back you are not worth my time.

To Democrats United, I am not on any side or anyone pays me. What should an average person like me should interpret from "It's not surprising [that people] 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" Does it sound like criticism or does it sounds like Solution?

Democrats United

So, you admit Obama was pandering. Good -- that's a start.

Stay Focus Obama!

They are peddling you into Victory. TWO gainst ONE and no doubt you will emmerge as the WINNER

S,

You still haven't told me what he intended. Post his exact quote and tell me what you think he meant by it. I am trying to get a sense of understanding from it.

I'm live in PA and Hillary Clinton is ridiculous!!! She is the out-of-touch and elitist candidate. I cannot believe how desperate she has become to win this nomination. Did you hear her say that the pledged delegates should deny the popular vote in states where she lost and have them cast their vote for her!! I AM BITTER! Speaking the truth is not demeaning. What is demeaning is her attempts to handle the American public with kids' gloves and attempt to overturn the democratic process in her favor. Enough Hillary! Go buy an island someplace and enjoy your millions.

While Hillary is so concerned about working class Americans, she should be careful not to let on that her husband is pocketing money from her Columbian friends.

Humm,

Ok, maybe you didn't understand my request. I wanted an explanation WITHOUT campaign rhetoric. "words without action" sounds to me like you are on the Clinton payroll. I don't want to assume that about you so, please answer my question without the Clinton sound bite playbook. Oh, and how is simply stating that people feel bitter about Washington's uselessness belittling them? I just don't get it. It's the truth. People feel a sense of bitterness towards their Government when they don't come through for them. So, please person to person... Explain this to me.

Democrats United

That is NOT what Obama said when he though he wasn't being recorded. Stop reading things into his words that weren't there. Obama is pandering -- plain and simple. Delude yourself if you will but don't try to convince us that his words weren't what he intended!

To Democrats United, Obama's statement reflects the attitude of criticism. Voters wants to know what can a Potential candidate offer to fix their problem than humilating them. Good leader focus on issues and not on people. Obama's statement were only words without solution.

SF2008,

Thank you for answering my question in part anyway. You know as well as I do that Obama meant that people turn to other political issues when voting. The point is, when you can't vote for someone because of an issue that matters to you most, like JOB CREATION, you have to look at other issues like religion, guns, abortion, etc. WHy is this so hard for people to get?

Democrats United

Obama associated with thugs an
