VOTERS DEMAND OBAMA DROP OUT NOW, WITH ALL THE NEW POLITICAL DAMAGING STUFF COMING FROM HIM AND MICHELLE OBAMA, IN ADDITION TO WRIGHTS CONTINUED OBAMA DEFENDED ATTACKS ON WHITE AMERICA. HE WILL SURLY LOOSE THE GENERAL ELECTION FOR DEMOCRATS.

Obama Connection to Terrorists Revealed National Association of Chiefs of Police. http://www.theconservativevoice.com/article/31408.html

Obama has a dual citizenship with Kenya Al-Qaeda chief Osama bin Laden would be praying for an Obama victory because it would help the militants win in Iraq. Citizen Wells 3/08

Memories of Obama's recent racial stereotype of the 'typical White person' are still fresh. Add to this now his view of the 'typical small town person.' Obama is quoted as disparaging residents of small towns in Pennsylvania as being “like a lot of small towns in the Midwest” where “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.”

Obama is unapologetic, even dissing of voters in Florida and Michigan one has to wonder what groups of Americans he really respects?

Racist wife, Michelle, saying she was proud of America "for the first time" only because of her husband's presidential run.

Obama explained he doesn't wear an American flag lapel pin or hold his hands to his heart during the Pledge of Allegiance because it is a substitute for patriotism,

Obama confirms his own moral obliviousness and he seems to have disdain for those who are troubled by his own unwillingness to break with The Great White hater Rev Wright

Rev Wright says you don't have to wait for the afterlife for the mansion on the hilltop, he’s right! To shut him up Trinity United Church of Christ is building Rev. Wright a $1 mil house on a lot that was purchased for $345,000. According to federal income tax return Obama gave $222,500

Wright continues his Obama supported attacks on non-blacks Wright states Jesus death on the cross was a public lynching Italian style.

Obamas senate record shows he infact did support the war voted against bringing America's troops home, voted for war appropriations giving our money to Halliburton and Blackwater, voted with Bush/Chaney latest bit of posturing S433 to suspend any troop withdrawal, if not suspended, keeps the troops in Iraq for a long time to come.

Washington Post- Fact Check- Senator Obama CAUGHT LYING about Kennedy Role in Helping His Father Contrary to Obama's claims in speeches Kennedy family did not.

Chicago Daily Herald- Obama refers to himself as 'a constitutional law professor on the campaign trail. TRUTH: He never held any such title!

obama does not know our history.
being called annie oakley is a good things. annie oakley was a great courageous woman. Hillary is like annie oakley.
it is too bad he does not know-he really paid her a complement.

I was undecided but after his mischaracterization of 'small-town' and Pennsylvania voters, there is no way I could vote for him. On gun ownership, he has stated that only military and police should own guns. His ideas would leave the military, police, and the outlaws with the guns. It's clear to this voter that there are better choices for President. For healthcare, Hillary's plan will provide coverage for all citizens. I trust her because she has shown she is brave in the face of her opponent's constant attacks. She is credible because her actions in voting have aligned with her positions on the issues.

The people were patriotic and voted Bush, not once but twice. What did they get?

A never end war, a world wide reputation of being out of touch with the world humane existence, elitist as far as the world sees.

All I've read on this blog all day long is noonday hypocrisy.There's a whole lot of babble going on.It borders on the chronic,parochial ignorance of a miniscule few with a hidden apathy shrouded by extreme spin and abracadabra.The average guy on the street knows better and time will tell.

I too was extremely offended by the Annie Oakley comments. Glad to see I wasn't the only one. His disrespect for Hillary and Bill Clinton is vile.

al writes, "There is a story in USA today interviewing people who knew Obama's grandmother who say she never made negative comments about others or even swore. I think Obama made that up."

From all the other lies we already know about from his book (Selma, Kennedy airlift, goat herder, on and on) perhaps the libraries should move the book from the non-fiction section to fiction!

And Obamabots think Hillary lies! ROFLAO!

Look at the real pedigree of Obama, not the fluff and nonsense put out in his two books. all along the way he went to all the right schools and joined the right causes. His education was top-top tier; he got into Harvard Law School and then taught constitutional law at the University of Chicago. He has led a very charmed life and operated in very charmed circles. His 'autobiography' is less a bearing of his soul than a weaving of a political tale. He comes out more studious and much less wild then he claims. In "Dreams of My Father', now seems to be less self-revelation and more self-serving. The book is political documentation.

Hmmmmmm -

Looks like a new Rezko problem for Obama. Check the AP story folks.

"That food stamp story is a little thin on realty. His mom got food stamps for being a single mother ... "

So Obama claims -- but did she REALLY?
Actually USING food stamps is not a particularly pleasant experience -- as politicians have no occasion to know.

"His own performance piece is a rip off of great men. He stole MLKs tone....JFKs words.....Ceasar Chavez' battle cry...."

And for the amusement of the very rich, he can channel Leona Helmsley . . .

David,

That food stamp story is a little thin on realty. His mom got food stamps for being a single mother, while her VP of the bank parents paid for private school so that Barry to avoid the unclean masses in Hawaii.

That is called welfare fraud where I come from. That money was supposed to be used for people who had NO ONE to turn to and a child. Not to support a free ride to college while your 'VP of the bank' parents take care of your lil one.

And then with bad grades in high school, he has a legacy lined up for him like Dubya and that is suppose to be impressive?

My mom actually put herself through college, would only take welfare for 6 months, and then worked 3 part time jobs to finally get her degree.

While his mom traveled the world on her parents dime and then defrauded the govt for education and support for herself and Barry.

What is inspiring about a man and family who enjoy taking short cuts?

His own performance piece is a rip off of great men. He stole MLKs tone....JFKs words.....Ceasar Chavez' battle cry....and that is supposed to be impressive?

He is the Pavlov's politician....exploiting 45 years of tv clips and I'm supposed to drool support?

No thanks!

Caucus 83: His comments are not an observation of America. You are reading the parts of what he said that Obama wants the American people to focus on. Try to picture the real and complete scenario: Obama was in CA in a fundraiser with his elite-super rich donors and when one of the donors asked him why he was having problems converting voters in PA, that is when he answered what he said. The real meaning is that he trashed the PA small town people as his excuse as to why he was still behind of Hillary in PA so these people continue to give him money for his campaign. If he really is concerned about the "bitterness" of the American people or anger, whatever (most of Americans feel that way, including me) due to the conditions we are living, why he has not said that to them (PA residents) in all the millions of tv ads and while campaigning in PA? He could have said to PA residents. Yes, people, I understand you are bitter and angry about the economic conditions that we all are suffering. That would have perfect. But why he needed to go to a fundraiser in CA to give his opinion that since PA residents are bitter, they turn to guns, religion, etc. instead of paying attention to him. That is the real message. And that is why, even when Obama is trying to focus only on the "bitter" part of his comments, the rest of the comments (which are the significant ones) will follow him forever.

The comments about small town people clinging to traditions are not critical of the small town people they are critical of the government that has abandoned them and caused the small town people to cling to their traditions.

Traditions of small town people are founded in our values, principles, and morals, ideals that used to mean something to the rest of the country. Now, for some reason, small towns are viewed as teaming with small-minded people who are racist and slow-witted when the truth is far from it. It is telling that when someone says that we cling to our traditions that it is automatically assumed to be an insult.

Geoff Davis is only reflecting what some Americans think...If Obama loses this because of a observation about America...God help us all. And you wonder why we're in the state we're in as a nation. The man said today...We invent the internet, but are behind in broadband access...something is wrong.

jozy: The only one that is keeping Americans divided is Obama. Every time he opens his mouth, specially not in front of the cameras where he can give a super rehearsed, written by somebody else, reading with three monitors, speech, he gets in trouble. That is what happens when you are trying to sell oranges for bottles. At some point the true you will show.

"a woman who ... on more than one occasion has uttered racial or ethnic stereotypes that made me cringe."

But CLASS stereotypes, bandied about in supposed privacy while selling himself to the ultra-rich, don't upset the tenderly-cringing candidate.

It is not true that there are more comments about Obama's "bitter" comments than Hillary's misspeak. It's just the opposite!! The media has been giving Obama free pass on everything. Didn't you see how hard John King at CNN tried to find excuses for Obama last night?

About which is worse: Hillary misspoke about something happened long time ago, which does not eliminate what she accomplished during that trip. But what Obama said in his "bitter" comments shows that he is not what he says he represents, and he is totally disconnected with the majority of the American people. So, clearly Obama is much worse!

Redacted: You need to be kidding. Prepare yourself because this will never have an end for Obama. He should have thought that he was speaking in public, you know. Since he says a thing in front of the camera and another completely different behind closed doors. Do not forget that his comments were done behind doors, when he thought that nobody, other than his elite and rich donors were listening, so he got in trouble by himself. This is just the beginning.

jozy / Tia - Read Obama's book, he says what was said and not said - His grandmother was complaining about an aggressive pan handler that was in her face that happened to be black, she was not scared of a blackman just walking down the street.

Keep finding excuses for Obama, but I thought he was a great speaker.

My question is why is the MSM giving Obama a Free pass? Is it because they have a feeling going up their legs!

Obama has no substance what so ever!

S: Definitely you are training with the Obama camp. If you are part of the 25th percent who agree with him, then good for you. Again: Fifty-six percent (56%) of voters nationwide disagree sith Barack Obama’s statement that people in small towns “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." A Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey found that just 25% agree with the Democratic frontrunner while 19% are not sure.

I'm just curious, why have there been 400% more Political Punch stories on Obama's "bitterness" than there were on Clinton's Bosnia misspeak?

Which is better, a politician that is truthful or a politician that lies?

Definatly Common Sense

Here's what I said. Which part don't you understand?

Perhaps

You're clearly in the minority. Polling is showing that almot sixty percent of Americans disagree with Obama's contention that rural folk can't think for themselves.

S. Please go to the Rasmussen reports and try again. I keep posting the link but somebody keeps erasing it. So you might need to go a do the homework yourself. It is easy, you will see the results in the front page. In summary: "Fifty-six percent (56%) of voters nationwide disagree with Barack Obama’s statement that people in small towns “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."

Hey Tia,

Did you and Mr Dennis Ghing live at home with Barrack and his Grandmother? If you didn't how do you know what she said to him in the privacy of her own home?

Keep on phishing people - keep America divided

Perhaps

You're clearly in the minority. Polling is showing that almot sixty percent of Americans disagree with Obama's contention that rural folk can't think for themselves.

Note these points:

(a) It is possible that one, coming from poor or average, becomes an elitist when he forgets what's like being poor;

(b) It is possible that one, coming from poor or average, always remembers where he/she comes from even if he/she becomes rich.

It is obvious to us that Obama has fogotten where he comes from and what he says he represents, but Hillary gets it even she has more money now.

*sigh*

It is truly AMAZING how hard people can work to keep Americans divided.

United we stand, divided we fall.

Pretty simple concept, but hard for many to understand it seems.

Obama said about his white grandmother: ... " a woman who once confessed her fear of black men who passed her by on the street, and who on more than one occasion has uttered racial or ethnic stereotypes that made me cringe."

BUT Dennis Ching, who was a 23-year-old management trainee under Dunham beginning in 1966. "I never heard her say anything like that. I never heard her say anything negative about anything. And she never swore."

"Fifty-six percent (56%) of voters nationwide disagree with Barack Obama’s statement that people in small towns “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."

Barack Obama is an egalitarian Liberal Fascist elitist.

I do not think that Sentaor Obama is an elitist: I think there is some merit to his statement. We all know that when there is a crisis in any life, the affected person turns to something that will or is expected to provide some means of stability--something that will not fail--an absence of stance.

On a lower scale, some turn to food; some go into depression; others pray. In the case where there are marital problems, the wife might turn to her mother for comfort, and so on and so on--if you get my drift.

We all have those temporary statuses where we will enter into the victim zone, and cannot find our way until we call out for help.

At least, this is what I have deduced from the statement made by Senator Obama.

And, because he has relayed his message on a level, which all of a sudden no one seems to understand, we turn on him and say "how dare he remind us of our temporary emotional infirmities."

I find it somewhat ironic that Barack would criticize rural America for their anti-trade sentiment when he claims to be NAFTA's strongest opponent.
I find it troubling that Barack would criticize rural America for clinging to their religion during troubled times while he clings to his pastor "What I value most about Pastor Wright is not his day-to-day political advice," Obama said. "He's much more of a sounding board for me to make sure that I am speaking as truthfully about what I believe as possible and that I'm not losing myself in some of the hype and hoopla and stress that's involved in national politics."
I find it sad that Barack would criticize rural America for clinging to their legal guns used for hunting and family protection while he is assuring them that he is pro-gun and will keep the weapons in their hands.
I find it unbelievale that Barack would claim that rural America is "anti-immigrant" when he knows full well that they're actually anti-Illegal immigrant and want secure borders just like Barack does.
I find it a total lie that Obama is saying that Bush and Clinton had the same economic policies and that America fared poorly under Clinton.
Obama: What you forgot to tell is what you think of rural American is what makes them "bitter".

On one and the day Senator Obama been called "boy" (by Rep. Geoff Davis) and Bin Laden was called "Obama"...

America, America...

this is the same organization that was for a armor piercing bullet which only had one function to piece bullet proof vests they argued that it was a 2nd amendment issue--he is a right wing republican of course he is going to put down obama--this is the exact point of obamas comments that the nra and other groups play on people's fear's that the democrats are going to take away their guns--they vote democrat and wonder why george bush has an approval rating of 30% or less and we are is a recession and are spending 3 billion dollars a day in a war that we are policing a civil war between sunni and shiete and fight under the iraqi governments flag--nice

Message to Dashle (go back to school, please) and Obama supporters: Definition of "elitist": "One who despises people or things regarded as inferior, especially because of social or intellectual pretension: snob. Informal snoot. See attitude/good attitude/bad attitude/neutral attitude, self-love/modesty." http://www.answers.com/topic/elitist
Synomyn of "elitist": Barack Obama

THE DEMOCRATS NEED FLORIDA

On today's Rasmussen web page, we learn that "If McCain is matched against Hillary Clinton, the race is a toss-up—Clinton 45% McCain 44%. "

On the other hand, a "telephone survey in Florida shows McCain attracting 53% of the vote while Obama earns 38%"

Obama arrogantly pronounced months ago that Hillary would have a hard time winning the Presidency because half the country is against her.
Well, Obama is doing a really good job of outdoing her in that regard.
He's painted himself as the stereotypical elitist Democrat who looks down his nose at hard working Americans and this is a label he will never be able to sweet talk his way out of.
He just attacked McCain as being out of touch with Americans, and McCain's campaign immediately fired back with this:
“It’s hard to keep a straight face when you’re accused of being out of touch by a guy who thinks the whole country is worried about the high price of arugula or that you hunt ducks with a six shooter.”

Obama said he will not afraid to meet with enemies of United States.

Ya... right! Ican just mix-up my words when I comeback to US

My people still forgive me.

Obama said he had chosen poor words to explain his words...... and there will be in the future.

So if he keep mix-up his words, how we can trust him deal with the enemies of US, HAMAS, Iran, and nation of Islam that he will meet someday when he become President.

jock59801

It's not what he's said. Everyone knows that changes by the hour. Rather, by his associates and actions.

The Clintons made over $100 million during the last 7 years. the fact is that they earned it, by speaking engagements and book sales. Obama made his money the same way and in that respect they are even. The important difference is that the Clintons gave a lot of their wealth to charity, while Obama gave very little to charity. He gave the bulk of his donations to his racist church. The Philadelphia Enquirer is just like the N.Y. Time, and ultra leftist publication. Can't believe anything they print. Remember all the scandals the times had.
McCain, unlike Obama, served his country his whole life.

Hold on to your values and beliefs, people, and hope the government doesn't take those away too! Too bad that the Clintons don't see why you can be bitter over unkept promises, job and home losses, the war, the economy etc, because they are too busy making their millions. I say, Hillary should keep her artillery for bosnia.

Why does the media give everyone a chance to get their own spin in? Why is Hillary Clinton doing the Republicans' work for them? I can't wait to have President Obama!

If you don't believe Obama is Elistist

Let's say Obama is want a be ELITISTS. That's why he said those remarks.

Obama agree with those elistist in Marrin County, CA who view that small town PA and midwest cling to religious, gun, anti immigrant and semitism.

All this talk doesn't change the math. The rest is just smoke screen. She's done and knows it. Now, all she's trying to do is sabotaging the party by yelling louder than the republicans. I know there are people out who are just looking for a good excuse to hate Obama. They think they finally got but as for the wright contreversy it just going to fade away.
Go Barack

I think Jake that it's clear from the focus now on the comments from the right (the NRCC and twice the NRA in your recent posts) where you prefer to stand.

That's your every right, but what about the Unions? They are pretty important in an election, aren't they? And remember where they are particularly worried about?: Hillary's former lobbying for NAFTA and her many ties to free table lobbyists that have been active on behalf of the Colombian government, including her husband, Penn and Wolfson. In fact, the whole core of her campaign hes been built around free trade lobbyists.

It is these free trade agreements, the Unions feel, that made small tyown Americans lose their job in the first place, remember? In other words, their bitterness is CAUSED by Bill Clinton and his free trade friends. Obama is merely giving it a voice in these elections and objecting to deals that hurt American workers and American jobs.

Plus Jake, please read the arcticle Senator Jim Webb wrote for the Wall Street Journal in 2006, on the class struggle in America. Just one quote from that:

"The politics of the Karl Rove era were designed to distract and divide the very people who would ordinarily be rebelling against the deterioration of their way of life. Working Americans have been repeatedly seduced at the polls by emotional issues such as the predictable mantra of "God, guns, gays, abortion and the flag" while their way of life shifted ineluctably beneath their feet."

Sounds familiar? Wasn't Webb saying the same thing already as Obama recently did? I think he did, and for good reason.
But... it looks like some commentators on this campaign are trying to push us back into the Karl Rove era.

obama is a wordsmith; he knew exactly what he was saying; he did not, though, know that he was being recorded.

now he is trying to wiggle out of it; it is hilarious; his insults were really affirmations. right.

you got caught with your pants down. nice to watch you squirm and lie like a politician.

kravitz - Stop playing the race card in this issue. It's offensive, off-base and people can't be shamed into voting FOR someone just because he's the flavor of the month.

LaPierre will invariably back the Republican, so his comments have no bearing in the Democrats race. Even so, he is sending the signals if the Democrats want to get behind a do-nothing, liberal, elitist, not unlike John Kerry before him, then the Republicans will enjoy winning this race.
========================================
Obama, the leader of the bitter little people!
Obama, bring us cake!
========================================

When Obama is not in front of a teleprompter, he occasionally gives us a glimpse of how he really thinks--comments like clinging to religion, guns and antipathy come out. Other examples include his remarks about flag pins, and pregnancy/ punishment and "typical white people." Each of these comments reflect his far-left world-view, shaped in part by Jeremiah Wright's black liberation theology. Talk about bitter--Wright and Obama should look in the mirror!

How to tell which candidate is which
=======================================
Obama is the candidate of bitterness.
- He looks as Americans as small-minded bitter little people, clutching their guns and holding their Bibles.

Clinton is the CAN DO candidate.
- She stands up with fellow Americans.
- She proposes solutions
- She knows that Americans have authentic values, grit, and deterimination.
========================================
Obama, if you are bitter and want to be rescued.
Clinton, if you are empowered, and want to help build a better America.
========================================
I pick Clinton!

I voted for Hillary in Ohio and I deeply regret that decision.
I voted on record, what I didn't realize at the time was, I was voting on Bill Clinton's record.
After the past weeks, I along with several friends have seen a side of the Clintons that we've never seen.
I will vote Obama in November. But if its between Clinton and McCain, I may just stay home.

" ... anti-elitism is the surest sign of a country and a culture in decline."

Nah: that'd be anti-INTELLECTUALISM, which is a whole 'nother thing.

If making $109m after leaving office, ducking imaginary sniper fire, taking $800,000 from the Colombians in private and speaking against the deal in public is what makes a good Blue Collar Democrat, then we have to Vote Clinton now. If downing whiskey, and drinking mugs of beer makes a good President, vote for Hillary.

If you need someone who has no clue on the economy, has no clue on who America is fighting in Iraq, if you need someone who thinks the down turn in the economy is our fault and we must bail out ourselves. Vote the Cyborg (Sen. McCain).

If growing up in a single home, living on food stamps, paying of huge students loans for years, working with the poor for over 20 years, generating interest in politics, making mistakes and apologizing, fighting for the American people, ending the war and fighting to improve America's image abroad. Vote Obama now. He is in touch with the ordinary American and he knows what it takes to bring about the change we need in America.

The idea that Barack Obama has led a "tough" life is absurd. Okay. His father walked out on his mother, but his mother remarried and was a very well educated woman employed in a field dominated by me. His grand parents were wealthy Hawaiians and he attended the most prestigious private school in the islands. He was educated at Harvard and Columbia. If any of you know a young person graduating from college today without extensive financial loans to repay, please give them my heartiest congratulations. My ex-husband and his wife could only help their daughters fill out financial aid forms.

Please stop with this ridiculous notion that he has lived a "hard" life. The worst part of it was a father who deserted him and returned to Kenya, and never looked back.

Please let me live in a mansion, have two best sellers and be under privileged!

Oh, and you don't have to be wealthy to be an elitist. It's an attitude, not a life style!

Jake, if you think that this is a comment that deserves serious attention, you must yourself be as anti-elitist as they get. I wouldn't be too proud of that though. As you may remember from college, anti-elitism is the surest sign of a country and a culture in decline.

The result is George W. Bush of even worse.

There is no doubt now that Barack Obama is a hypocritical Liberal Fascist given that he lied about smoking.

Interesting comment, really! Now let's see, what have Ellen and Ophrah to say about this? Or O.J. Simpson? Dolly Parton?

We're SO hungry for this kind of news! There's a war going on that 2 of 3 remaining candidates supported, so please keep the entertainment coming!

Tapper does it again! Excellent journalism!!!

I am a non-gun owning Democrat supporting Hillary Clinton. However, I believe the NRA has an important role in this society as the leaders on protecting the second amendment, and the even more fundamental right of a citizens to protect their domecile and their interests when attacked, and an even more fundamental right than that, which is to provide for the table as a matter of economy.

These are concepts that Barack Obama can never learn at Harvard. Hillary was around Arkansans to know what I'm talking about, as she comes from the exact same place.
========================================
Hillary stands up for all voters!
========================================

Obama said last week

That he thinks the local and state governements should set up gun control.

Typical him to double talk out of an issue.

Since DC made that law, He jumped on the bandwagon for that one. Throws up his hands and says I do not care any more. Like he has done with his voting in the senate, since he has been there.

His Changes for the government are not what he leads on for them to be. He wants to change government and he means exactly that. This for his own gain and his special interest groups NOT you or me.

As much as I don't want to agree, I DO. I hate guns, I've never shot one, and I didn't grow up in a place where people really used them for recreation or any other purpose. I do however believe people of all backgrounds are a part of the American political system and this was a HUGE blunder of Obama's part for not seeing that these are democrats core voting block. I believe that this makes Obama unelectable from a standpoint that he has turned off a large voting block by his comments, and that is turn is a major problem for the democratic party. I thought he was supposed to be a uniter? This is not the kind of comments that a politician who says he's going to unite our country makes.

I think this will not be the last we hear about this. I think that democrats have a lot of thinking to do about his comments. Can we really elect someone who views half of America like this?

OMG OBAMA'S AN ELITIST! Guess what? He's running against TWO OTHER ELITISTS. The millionaires in the media busy pointing out Obama's "elitism" are elitists, too. The ranch-vacationin' brush-clearin' President we have graduated from Yale; you think he's somehow not an elitist?

But let's say Obama is one. So friggin' what? The man is running for President! You think you'd've ever heard of him if he'd spent the last ten or twenty years working at Wendy's?

FloridaDem.....

I enjoyed your Observation of this Obama..... and how he came to "rank"....

Obama is a talker..... We all know a "Talker" in our lives and this dude plays it to the core.... Book smart, experience NULL..... Just look at the folks he has surrounded himself with......Bunch of Knuckle Headed BookWorms--- who think they know everything cause of their readings...... well....that explains why so many young people straight out of College are so taken by him........why Marxism get attached to Obamaism.....

Real life responsiblities are still lost...... that is why it is so difficult for Obama to take responsibilites for his words....... he fumbles and claims Hillary made him do it...... but when it's time to answer to Issues..... he copies everything Hillary saids.....

UNBELIEVABLE that Obama is now where he is at--- A frontrunner for the Democratic NOM........

HE IS WORSE THAN BUSH CAUSE HE THINKS HE'S BETTER......

PRIDE WILL GET YOU TO SHAME.

SHAME ON YOU OBAMA

LaPierre as a spokesperson of the NRA is quite important. Why should we care? Well, "these people" vote and many are blue collar and many are from small towns. Remember, every vote is supposed to count (except this year with FL and MI, I guess). Why should we not care is the better question.

Tiffany - is that the grandmother he thru under the bus for his racist preacher?

Reading the posts below i see people do not know history -

OK FAcism and Communism are very close to ideas.

They bith as our trying to push did the following
1 Banned Smoking
2 took guns away from the citrizens
3 promosed Government could do better then private
4 Class War fare
5 Racism

All this sound familar! there is a lot more!!

This is what the libs are pushing nothing less!!

Are you kidding, gbrown? Obama did not go to a "community college" for two years before transferring to Columbia. He went to Occidental College in Los Angeles, which is a pretty high-tone liberal arts college. It is well-known as one of those colleges underachieving rich kids go to because they don't quite have the grades for the Ivies or Stanford. And how did this struggling food-stamp-dependant, single-mother-raised young man afford his sojourns to Indonesia, India and Pakistan when he was in college? Because he is not some poor, underpriveledged kid who overcame difficult circumstances fueled by his own pluck and initiative. He has been given a free ride by everyone he manages to bamboozle with his "poor me" story. He likes to play poor, but he certainly doesn't know what it is to be poor. And as for his time as an organizer--he complained the whole time how hard the work was and then abandoned it for Harvard Law. I have been a union organizer for seven years and I know his type of guy. They come and pad their resumes and get their leftie street-cred paid for by workers' dues money, and then they get their law degrees and land easy jobs that may not make them rich, but certainly more comfortable than those of us out here working 70 hour weeks fighting for basic justice and not just talking about it. He makes me absolutely sick.

Lynne - Also the 4$ gas is due to Liberals like Obama's policies, no drilling, no new refineries.

Obama's grandmother who helped raise him was not rich. She is also not dead! Jeez! Maybe you should check your facts before you post! This is exactly what is wrong with America. We judge people before all the facts are read. I urge everyone to follow up on what Obama said and not follow the sound bits the media is feeding you. Maybe then you will understand. He speaks the truth-something long gone in politics.

Lynne - He has no plans on supporting the 2nd amendment, it is against the Communist Manifesto!

He also state people turn to guns because they are bitter!

He was not supporting the 2nd amendment!

Jake, could you please add a opmment to explain to us why you think that we should care about what the NRA has to say about the issue of small town America being betrayed by the Clinton and Bush governments? For that is what the Obama remarks focused on.

David - You left out hi Private schools he went to for grammar through High school!

He traveled the world (He said this himself stating his experience)

How many poor people can do that.

Where do you get the food stamp? He did not even live with his mother from the fifth grade he lived with friends of the family

Look it up, do not make him something he is not, he is an elitist who stood by and took money from a slum lord of apartments for truly poor people.

That two year so called community college you speak of was a small private coeducational liberal arts college - Occidental College

He was far from poor!

Open your eyes!
