Clintonistas would like to let people think that Bill and Hill's Tax returns issues are away, Hill the Bosnian Genral's Bosnian sniper stroy is away, that Penn and the Colombiangate 800 000 is gone, wake-up. Twisting Obama's words will not make it. Telling people that they are happy while they are suffering is not real, paternilizing them won't make. God bless America and God bless Obama. OBAMA08.

You're right, Bill. Hillary will restore our middle class! She'll also help the Obama zombies not to be so bitter about it.

I think the less Bill talks the better.

I think the less Bill talks the better.

I hate Hillary's attacks.

You can't tell the citizens of a country in the midst of a recession not to be "bitter"

God Bless Obama. God Bless America.

Bitter PA and Blue Collar

Bill Clinton the bastion of truth :)

We didn't have a war but we did have hard times and then we got Bill and say what you will but Bil Clinton was a good president and time we have a chance for a landslide the left of the left gets some one to run and then here we are IMO

Go Hillary

I find it interesting that Obama is supposed to be a Democrat devoted to his party and what it represents, yet he denigrates the Clinton years whenever he gets a chance. Could that be that he is just like every other politician afterall, and really just wants to win? Afterall, he did say it would be really cool to sit in the Oval Office on Day One.

Well Karl Rove is so proud of the Clinton campaign for learning from him how to destroy a political rival.

Problem is, the only kind of candidate who wants to do this is someone we wind up miserable with, embarassed by, sick of, and very, very injured by.

Seems very simple. If this is what they'll do to get your vote, this is how they'll govern.

Or, as Dr. Phil puts it, if they'll do it to you, they'll do it with you. Or was that about something else?

Emily, you have to redo your history lesson, Bill has signed NAFTA and that is what Hill has said, because she was opposed to it as to the Rwanda genocide but behind the close doors. Hill the Bosnian General will not get away from this. Bill's words have surfaced saying exactely in 1991 when running against GHB what Obama has explained today. But instead of fixing the issues confronted by the middle calss, Bill and Hill have shipped jobs overseas and are again doing the same thing in Colombia with the support of Penn. God bless America and God bless Obama. OBAMA08.

NONE of Bill Clinton's comments from the 90s condescend in the way Senator Obamas comments do. Pontificating to the overly liberal San Francisco elite -- he attacks small town people for their love of God and embracing of guns and hunting. Listen carefully to he and his wife when they give speeches -- particularly when they think the press isnt listening or watching. This is only the tip of the Obama Iceberg -- theres a lot more of it underwater and he will sink the election and the country. HILLARY O8

BKMC

Yes -- it's a shame all those plumbers and doctors and such have been shipped overseas. A real shame!

@ BKMC

Tell Texans NAFTA should never been passed!

Obama supporters are stunned that people can struggle with grace. They don't think it is possible for people who are struggling to have a noble nature too. They don't believe that such people can be struggling yet be hopeful. Because Obama invented Hope. It is not possible for struggling people to have had Hope in their lives before him.

Telling the truth is worng in the US, people dont want to hear the truth, they feel they are being talked down to.

Any wonder honest people cant say it like it is, because Americans love to be in denial.

Dollar at an alltime low, economy in recession, no jobs, no healthcare, gas $4 a gallon, schools failing grades....

but please dont speak the truth, because.... We're Americans.

I'm tired of Bill and his comments. We really don't need a Bush, than a Clinton, a than another Bush, than another Clinton again! Yikes! We need something new. Go Barack Obama!

Obama supporters on....

Reverend Wright...."We agree with the Reverend"

San Francisco comments.... "We/The Middle Class are/is bitter"

You all agree and nod!

First let us take a deep drag while we listen to Bill Clinton's excuse for Hillary's Bosnia lie. "It was midnight and she is 60" doesn't sound like anybody wants her on the phone at 3 a.m., does it? Bill and Hill take your meds and and be quiet, it was 9 a.m. after a day of rest when she concocted the Rambo story.

If Obama's non-differentiation between "the Clinton years and the Bush years" is just another gratuitous campaign soundbite, it's asinine and petty, but who cares. If he believes it, the Deaniesque messianism is pretty troublesome.

Actually, his most odious storyline is "I know her supporters will vote for me but I don't know if mine will support her. This is the attitude that put W in position to be appointed a second time.

Back then, it was bitterness about perceived marginalization by the DNC and the "progressive press". With the disenfranchisement of Michigan and Florida voters by HoDean and the vile, relentless, mostly baseless and smug attacks on Clinton from the likes of Keith Olbermann and David Sirota, seems like the shoe's on the other foot.

Yes, Texans don't think NAFTA should have been passed.

Haha... Obama is such a newcomer...he said derogatory stuff about a group of potential voters. Let that be a lesson to youse. NEVER say derogatory stuff about potential voters (even when you know it's true). People don't like it.

Also: don't tell obvious lies, and please do your homework before talking about people... all three major candidates are quite gifted, but they all talk way too much and this leads to plenty of insertion of feet into mouths.

Matt..."core base of fruit loops"?

Love it!

I agree with the person who said the ones who are bitter are the people at Obama's church. They go around blaming whites for the drug use of blacks, the imprisonment of blacks, the lack of education and job opportunities for blacks. The black community needs to take responsibility for its own actions. Obama needs to take responsibility for attending a black-centric church for 20 years. If a white politician attended a white-centric church, his or her career would be over--and rightfully so. It is not ok for blacks to be racist any more than it is ok for whites to be racist. Racists like Obama should have no place in public office.

In the world of Obama elites, if one seeks Guns and Gods only if one is struggling. Faith and religion are not cultural values, rather, an infection, a disease caused by life's struggles.

Carolyn Grace

Look around. Obama is splitting the country apart. And doing it intentionally!

@ Branden

That is why neither candidate was attacking NAFTA in Texas.

Texas cities and other parts of the country have benefited from NAFTA.

Obama can say anything and his fanatics agree.

Throughout many rural areas in the country these views are prevalent; for many these views will not change anytime soon. Equally, folks in these regions are not as out of touch or as ill informed as some may suggest.

Politically, I suspect many in these regions recognize their dilemma, and are not fazed by Clinton or McCain's attempt to gains points. Given Obama's reception in the rural West, I do not see any reason to believe his campaign will be harmed.
The overwhelming fact is rural America is in need of a great deal of attention. Albeit not much, Obama is the only candidate who seriously addressed issues faced by rural and small town America.

In regions once called border or Mason-Dixie states select issues( broadly, the values issues) are detrimental but these shall remain as well; their impact on the overall should be minimum, and will not change anything for Clinton.

Only in America can you profit from your husband making millions of dollars supporting something his wife says she disagrees with. All reported in a joint income tax return. Hillary gets the votes and the money!

Emily, I don't find much "original thought" in your post - just rudeness and things you would probably not say to a person if they were standing in front of you, but you will hide behind a faceles, nameless BLOG. Your not doing Hillary any favors.

Obama is a fraud, and his wife needs therapy, she has an inferiority complex. They both are racists. What more do we need to know? We don't have time to find out right now. NOBAMA 08

Did Bill say special interest groups whe he made 111 million, 15 milion we know for sure was a crooked deal. What does Bill mean by "going a different directio", and his middle class comment he doesn't care about the poor? Thatas a lot coming from someone who was almost impeached. The main amercia is blind to even considerate someone as low as hillary, her motto its me or I'll try an dmake us lose, that want even work Bye B

@ Emily is stupid

What's really amusing is that you just keep insulting my Airedale Terrier. She's Emily. What's even funnier is that she is exponentially smarter than you are. She's also a Hillary supporter.

tom -- i profit from things i dont agree with all the time. i work, and i certainly do not endorse everything my company does. oh well, life goes on. notice how michelle obama resigned from treehouse foods once obama's campaign started the anti-walmart thing. i guess she suddenly "agreed" with him over walmart.

I'm not sure WHO is running for president Bill or Hillary....

Now, I'm hearing that Sen. Clinton is positioning herself to run for Governor of NY. What is going on with this campaign?

I'm confused. What is the strategy here - trash the democratic front runner while losing the primary, then run for Governor of NY. It just seems a bit irresponsible and self-serving and not showing a real concern for the party.

I hope Obama doesn't fart anytime in public cause I can see what that stinky HIibill would say, these two have become comics there is no way this Btch will win drinking in a bar and Chelese is being PIMPED by her parents going to lunch and hugging young supers delegates for a vote what is that,

I'm bitter that Hillary is a sellout when it comes to womens rights!

Sen. Hillary Clinton has declined to return $170,000 in campaign contributions from individuals at a company accused of widespread sexual harassment, and whose CEO is a disbarred lawyer with a criminal record, federal campaign records show.

Obama feeds false hope to people, Clinton feeds fear..
BOTH SUCK

TJ,
I'm sure the savior Obama can take your squirrel haul, and turn it into enough squirrel meat to feed a mighty band of a thousand there is western Pennsylvania.
========================================
Obama will say and do anything to make sure he doesn't win the election!
========================================

oops mom is calling me for dinner. I've been sitting on my bed staring at my Obama poster on the wall.

Man we are really going to still whine about 2000? if youre still trying to argue about 2000, youre not doing a damn thing to help in 2008. it's over, it was almost 8 years ago, get over it and stop whining, i loathe george bush but hell...

McCain-Clinton '08! The Republican ticket to remember.

Garett,
New Yorker is the only person to make a thoughtful comment? You must be one of those small-minded bitter people that Obama was referring to. Good thing you have New Yorker to think for you, sitting over in a corner, clutching a gun, reading your Bible, and trembling, waiting for Obama to save us.
========================================
Thank Obama for Obama.
Obama bless us all everyone.
========================================

China, Bill. Remember the most-favored nation status you gave them? What concessions did you get Bill? Who moved my future, Bill? Where's my cheese, dude?

TJ,
Can you be more specific about the action that Obama provides? Are you talking about the 20 years of silent protest that he engaged in against the Reverend Wright?
========================================
Obama, the strength to maintain pure silent protest for 20 straight years!
========================================

@ TJ

that MYTH has been DEBUNKED.

BKMC,
When can we expect the mighty speech which Obama will present to talk his way out of this one?
========================================
A mighty speech is a'comin' like a hurricane.
========================================

don't worry, Olberman and Matthews are going to wear matching pink dresses for Obama's next speech!

OregonEngineer,
Your analysis is probably not far off. I suspect the MoveOn.org crowd was largely behind the Nader fiasco. I'm still going for Hillary who is willing to stand up for working class America over Obama, who is clearly an elitist.
========================================
Obama, the man from Harvard who bowls 37.
========================================

Obama never said the Clinton years were no better than the Bush years. He said there are people out there who got left out, who slipped through the cracks. A lot of them are in small towns in the Great Lakes region.

Nothing but the truth.

I think guns, religion and presidential candidates who denigrate their supporters are all signs of American stupidity.

Claire,
I'm from a small town and I'm bitter, and I'm waiting to be saved by Obama.
========================================
Obama, the savior of the Obama zombie nation!
========================================

tom -- i profit from things i dont agree with all the time. i work, and i certainly do not endorse everything my company does. oh well, life goes on. notice how michelle obama resigned from treehouse foods once obama's campaign started the anti-walmart thing. i guess she suddenly "agreed" with him over walmart.

Please note that Obama was describing the people that do not vote for him. I guess that's the change he will bring - denigrate those that do not support you. That's indeed a change, albeit towards a third-world system. When I view this, and his reponse to Wright, I have to wonder if he really understands American values. Totally shameless and dangerous if you ask me.

WCM- Thanks for clearing that up. I would suggest medication, but that would cost you a lot since the Clintons failed miserably getting any sort of health care reform passed. You'll just have to stick with "bitter", but I recommend staying away from guns in your state of mind....

Emily, who told you that Bill signed the first or second version of NAFTA, you may have missed it. Hill said that Bill has signed NAFTA and that behind the doors she was against it, but publicaly she was vehemently supporting it organizing business women's meetings to support it. Because of that NAFTA, jobs were shipped out of Ohio, TX, NC, SD, Pen, etc and today the Colombian SAFTA is waiting and Bill has already 800 000 in his pocket for spporting it. Hill the Bosnian General said again publicly she does not support it but behind the doors she is with Penn and Bill benefiting already from Urube's money. We do not know if Hill's IQ is above 80? Because Judgement is not her strength. That is a serious concern superdelegates should take into consideration when making their choice. God bless America and God bless Obama. OBAAMA08.

Aston,
I've been waiting for the same. I keep hearing claims like he's a man of action, but I don't hear any logic to back it. Maybe in 8 years.
========================================
Obama 2016

Obama promised me a couple of t-shirts for being a good regional cult member, what do you think?

I'm bitter that Hillary continues to mis-lead americans from the truth!

WCM- You REALLY are sensitive. Emily was very rude to several people and there is no place for that. period. By the way, you do not know who I am for and your efforts to pigeon hole me are pointless.

Claire,
Good thing we have the elitists to tell us what our values should be. Also, your cleverly drafted insidious attacks against me at a personal level rival no one that I've encountered in the blogs heretofore, except perhaps the neanderthal that goes by the handle Kevin, and occasionally deteriorates to grunts. Hey, but in the Obama zombie nation grunts count as votes.
========================================
Obama knows what we want!
We don't!
========================================

I quit too, I'm getting tired of being promised my raise by the Obama campaign. I've been a paid blogger here now for two months.

"Politics as usual": Make a big stink over bad wording and misrepresent an intelligent underlying position.

This tact will not improve the lives of ANY American; and certainly not improve the lives and thinking level of those whose educational level is sophisticated enough to appreciate the salient point Obama made.

Economic dislocation DOES give rise to anxiety, frustration, bitterness and polarization of BOTH family members and the nation.

Claire,
Not trying to pigeonhole you, just describing the pattern drawn from your repetitive behavior. By the way, pigeon meat sounds enticing to us poor country folk that are used to eating squirrel meat. But then again, perhaps Obama with his superior negotiating skills can get us all to disarm.
========================================
Obama, we're waiting for the mighty speech!
========================================

Have the Clintons or their spokespersons looked up the definition of "bitter". Some of them are "marked by strong resentment or cynicism" and "resentful", "hostile". Maybe Obama is correct, after all? Surely lawyers should be used to dealing with language. Mr. Hillary, after all, is famous for trying to define "is", isn't he?

New Yorker,
So Obama would be good as the Social-Worker-in-Chief based on your analysis!
========================================
Obama, just-in-time sociologist!
========================================

you're right!

Emily IS stupid!

I've always wondered where this (mis) information about the intelligence of voters emanates>

I know I didn't leave My education credentials in the voting cubie.

Who has substantiated or quantified the errata of this data?

Who said you have to have a degree to prove you're smart!

In any case, you can see by the posts of the majority of B O fanatics.....
that it obviously is an elitist misconception because they're

Dumb Dumb Dumb!
GAUDEAMUS IGITUR

and GIVE 'EM HELL, HILLARY!

Claire,
Good grief. Obama campaign does not pay campaign workers. Haven't you heard how he's dissed all the folks in small towns in Pennsylvania for not spreading the wealth. Hey, I've been asking how much flowed to Reverend Wright for awhile but I still haven't gotten that answer. Maybe when he finally gets vetted.....
========================================
Obama, waiting for the press to vet!
========================================

It's pathetic to see the Clintons stoop to this level in their desperation.

Hey guys, what are we talking about? If we want a woman as a president, there are a lot of female politicians who are really deserving to get elected because of their integrity and other personal traits, actual results and successful true experience, say, Condi. Hillary's only advantages over them are the huge notoriety and understandable compassion due to Monica-Bill scandal. That's it. Her tales of experience remind a wife of a cruise ship's captain staying 8 years in her plush cabin on the cruises and pretending she can handle the ship either. Maybe, she is sure she can, but how about the passengers: are we ready to risk? If she could not manage her own campaign, how in the world can she manage the whole country? Think again.

On the other hand, Obama is where he is now just because he is an outstanding intelligent person and a most promising leader who won support of millions of people, let alone many great politicians including even his rivals, just because of who is he. He had no father - capitalist to sponsor for young years, no spouse - AG, the governor, the president to sponsor after that. So he really knows the life, both domestic and foreign, coming from a single-working-mom family, spending years studying abroad, going through a Los Angeles community college, transferring to a top university and being a top student there (just paid out his student loans), then declining a comfortable law job offers to work with the poor instead.
It is not a coincidence the youth support him, and the eldest support Hillary: he is to the future, and she is from the past.

His wife said the right thing like: it is not about if he is ready, it is about if we are ready for him.
Even if he told the truth on bitter folks over there, it is a good way to recognize a problem and face up to it instead of making a happy face for the folks. Sure, having $100 millions you can be really optimistic.

If Wright has maids in his new 1.6 million dollar house, do those maids call him 'master'?

Surprise surprise. Obama was right about virtually everything he said, but alas, the ambiguously racist geriatric wing of the Democratic Party that can't see past their nose on any issue that isn't where the next Medicare check is coming from will chase McClinton's straw man attacks and get duped into voting against their economic interests... again.

Look, I live in Ohio. Every year the politicians make promises, but since we were left behind at the train station economically long ago, we fall for wedge issues instead. Soon enough, Ohio will be left behind at the station politically too, if we keep falling for this crap.

Imagine, we got fooled by Hillary, whose husband is the architect of NAFTA, telling us she is the one who truly opposes it. And they accept consulting fees, their top advisors are knee deep in financial ties in Colombia's free trade lobby.

Everyone... if you keep voting how you always voted, you will keep getting what you'd always got. Also, my family was on foodstamps and lived in a hotel through much of the 90's, so don't tell me they were great either, because they weren't.

Bush/Clinton/Bush/Clinton is not change. Obama '08.

(I'm going to go drink my Kool-Aid now, since apparently all Obama supporters are mindless zombies... if by mindless zombies you mean college-educated financially responsible voters and open-minded youths who don't carry the funky baggage of discrimination, Vietnam, the Cold War, and labor supremacy).

Hillary is planning to CRY (LITERALLY) again on Apr 20th just like she won the second state.

Other option she will take is do something to hold on to all the Grannies.

I love my Grannie but no way I would let her decide the FATE OF WORLD not just USA. But for my home though, she is the Queen.

Most of these Clintonites (Grannie minded CULT) don't get the point that they are LEGISLATING Bill's 2007 Christmas wish of "WHITE HOUSE PLEASURES".

CLINTON = BETRAYAL

She betrayed Bill RichardSon after all LATINOS VOTED for her and even took an extra step calling him as Zero as not many LATINO VOTERS LEFT.

Bill Clinton BETRAYED his own marriage. Surprisingly, Usually Angry Hillary seems to worked out deals (Senator Post) after deals (President post).

Chelsey tell you "NONE OF YOUR BUSINESS". I guess Hillary must have taught Chelsey that they OWN WHITE HOUSE.

CRAZY WOMAN still pushing for Obama as her VP behind scenes without a clue that no one will vote even Obama if he is in VP position.

Get a grip, its not about who Obama is but what his PATH is.

David or any other Obamapoloist:
Can you please tell us how it is "telling the truth" when you blame your lack of support among poor people on failed policies of the past? How is it telling the truth to argue that people's religion, position on guns, gay rights, etc, results from government? Thats a pretty peculiar role for government; poor people just sit and wait for the government, and if they are upset, they run to Jesus, the NRA, and the anti-gay crowd. This is not "factual," it is Obamalese.

I have no problem saying that people are angry over the economy and suspcious of economic policy or even immigration for those reasons. It is a completely different propisition to attribute those other concerns to anger with Bush and Clinton.

THE most disturbing thing about the commments is Obama, yet again, places blame elsewhere. Why is he losing the poor vote? Aw -- Clinton and Bush! Why might he lose to McCain? Clinton and that nasty thing called democracy! Blaming your weaknesses on others will not make them go away.

Ruth,
What exactly is the act of desparation by the Clintons? Was it putting words in Obama's mouth that were interpreted as insults?
========================================
Obama, the howdy doody man! He's distancing himself from his words now!
========================================

New Yorker...

One of the main reasons Gore didn't win was because he decided to distance himself from Clinton because of the Starr report.

It proved to be an unwise decision because even then Clinton was a beloved chief who accomplished a great deal of good for the country.

But maybe that was meant to be; Gore has come into his own since those days and has excelled in his environmental works.

Obama knows of what he speaks. He is so bitter over his childhood he 'turned to his religion to express his frustration' and Rev Wright obliged. His statement is patronizing. How dare he remark on any people turning to their religion with his 20 year record. He statement means 'rural' America is so backwards they shun those not like them, turn to their guns and religion...only have the intelligence to 'vote wedge issues'. He was clearly talking down to ALL RURAL AMERICANS!

WCM- Nice try using my post name so you can BLOG back one of your rants. I made a mistake posting to you. You are a waste of my time and shame on me for thinking you might have the ability to be civil. That's not being an "elitist" - that is called being raised with manners and respect for others even though I may not agree with them. A concept clearly lost on you.

Paul~ Great Post!
It's so true! Uneducated Americans typically vote for Hillary while Educated Americans vote for Obama!
Why? Because Obama supporters do their homework by researching the facts!

It is amazing how many people here in PA in the last couple days have jumped off the Obama bandwagon, and rightly so.

Both Bill & Hillary are rich liars with Bosnia, S. Carolina, Whitewater, Whitehouse and more behind them now trying to shift emphasis to a minor comment from a true American - OBAMA - hop[efully americans can see the problem with Bill and Hillary coming forth!!!

Let's be honest. Tiger woods probably has more political savy and insight that Barak Osama Bin Laden.
------------------------------
I’m trying to visualize the person who wrote this, and I’m seeing someone who has a couple of front teeth missing and plays the banjo on the front porch.

Linda you are taking a small peace of what Obama has said and twisting it as much as possible. The sound bite as journalists say. Please, understand the whole sociological parameters of what he said. You will understand that Obama is fully and completly for rural Americans, the working families and hardworking classes, do not get him wrong at all. Hllary the Bosnain General is unelectable as you know, so the best option is the strongest candidate who is leading and who will beat McCain as a drum come November 2008. God bless America and God bless Obama. OBAMA08.

Maybe there aren't Bubbas driving around in pickup trucks with the classic bumpersticker "God, Guns and Guts Made America Free" where Obama's detractors live, but here in rural Pennsylvania that line may as well replace "e pluribus unum" as the motto on the national currency.

I live in western Pennsylvania, and I can tell you, people here are bitter and angry. Poverty is prevalent. People hunt squirrels and eat them, along with racoon stew. People also hunt deer here, not for sport, but so they can put meat in their freezer so they can feed their families. They cut wood in
