I guess I am one of the persons he is talking about. Well, OBAMA, you just lost a supporter!

Scanton, PA

I like how Obama handled this situation. He gained a supporter in me!

Senator Obama has made hundreds of personnal and condescending attacks on his opponents and thinks that is ok. But when someone makes a like attack on him, watch out, every supporter and paid advisor comes out demanading an apology,

HOW ABSURB. STUPID. CAN THIS MAN BE REAL??????

Rep. Geoff Davis, R-Ky.,
is a Republican. Since
when do we expect better
from the GOP?

Sen. Obama's remarks in San Francisco were not condescending. Please listen to the full audio on the huffingtonpost.com (where this "story" was initially reported).

Obama's an Elitist? HRC earned $109 million dollars since 2000. The McCains are worth over $100 million dollars as well.
So who really understands what it feels like to be left behind?

The truth is that I AM BITTER AND ANGRY that the Clintons and McCains are doing THAT MUCH better than the rest of the country.

God forbid a politician tells the truth.

Hmmmmmmm -

Off topic but interesting - looks like Senator Obama has a new Rezko problem. Read the AP story today.

Let's hope voters in Geoff Davis' Kentucky district are so humiliated by their representative speaking in such blatantly racist and vicious terms that they vote him out of office at the earliest opportunity.

There's a HUGE difference between being condescending and being racially biased. If ya'll don't know the difference, then maybe you'd be better off not voting at all.

It's so sad to read the hate blogs. For those of you sooooooooo turned off by the bitter comments, you weren't going to vote for Obama anyway. I just hope that the narrow-minded bunch of Americans who put Bush back in the White House in 2004 get a clue this election...somehow.

Jenna,

And Hillary is a lying witch of a
b i t c h so they are even then are they not?

p.s. all you Republican trolls, or Clinton fans (the two groups appear to be one and the same) can give up on the Obama "bitter" smear campaign now. Polls are already showing it's having little if any impact on the race, and that PA voters are weary of Clinton harping on statements most recognize as true.

Racists never change! He said what he thought.

Obama is not a boy

Obama is god.

HEY LIZ-

Well what if Hillary said that the reason black men are in and out of jail is because of their own actions. What is she said that the reason their are enormous amount of fatherless black children in America, is because of their own actions. Same for single mothers, drugs, etc. etc. etc..

I bet you don't like the truth now.

Jenna, Hill the Bosnian General is a drunk girl, a day dreamer and a dangerous alcoholic who cannot be trusted at all. God bless America and God bless Obama. OBAMA08.

"Obama you lost a supprter. You should not have responded. By responding you showed how weak you are." - says hillary clinton supprters.

Their judgement is all there to see in their posts.

Racist white Americans coming in these blogs everyday bashing Obama. Your days are numbered. This is the last year bigotry will be tolerated in this country. White supremacy will soon be over.

Kris

Link to the AP story please?

Wow, I can't believe he apologized for that. If Obama can't make a sound decision in the situation-room in a SIMULATION, I sure wouldn't like him to be my Commander-in-Chief and issuing orders to me. He's right, that boy's finger doesn't need to be on the button.

Brian,

That's a lot of 'if's.

It's obvious you've never worked in a homeless or domestic violence shelter, or even given of your time to the less fortunate. Your post is nothing more than opinion that is NOT based on fact.

Let's see - 'IF' frogs had wings they wouldn't bump their bums every time they hopped.

How's that for truth?

From Webster's Dictionary - Elite: the best or most powerful of anything considered collectively, especially of a group or class of persons. Elitist: practice of or belief in rule by an elite.

Has nothing to do with money - everything to do with feeling superior, thereby Hillary saying the American people do not need a President who looks down on them. People of any class can look down on others and feel they are superior for many reasons, usually because they think differently from themselves. Does this sound familiar?

This room just turned decidedly race oriented. What oppression? For years we've heard black people complain about it, yet they've got the same opportunities white people do, and at times, because of policies for diversity, even better ones. No, that oppressed people argument has long since run its course, and to point out a fact, in the modern day black people are entirely more racist than white people of this generation.

Mike

Do you know the historical meaning of a white man calling a black man "boy'? Or are you one of thsoe illiterate Republicans voting on single issues like guns and God?

Mike

You're a moron. Have to been to inner-city schools in this country? Blue collar bastards complain abotu politicians not knowing their culture and brand such politicians elitist. But bastards like you say racial discrimination is over meanwhile our inner cities are rotten to the core due to government neglect, bad teachers, poor infrastructure, and blacks serve stiffer sentences than whites for comparable crimes. I can go into more detail, but why educate a buffoon like you?

Actually, Brian is correct to make those points. The only stipulation being that it doesn't apply only to black people. What does apply, however, is the fact that most major cities where the black population is most dense, there are more occurrences of these incidents.

Step away from calling a black man "boy". It is what white rcist called black men for centuries to demean the emasculate. I assume you Obama haters would not want to go back to those days. Leave your attacks above the belt. PLEASE

After the obnoxious comments Obama, his wife and his preacher have said, "boy" is nothing!

Why are some Americans so full of vile?

Why are some Americans so full of vile?

See now it's people like you who take what somebody says completely out of context, and turn it into a racial issue. He wasn't saying "boy" as a racial slur, it was indicative of his age. I know very well what it means. And the name-calling, not necessary. You could perhaps make your point without reverting to childish slander. Our core isn't rotten. What makes those cities so bad is the population that lives in them...be it white, black, mexican, or anyone else. No, you can't blame the government for everything, and people seldom take responsibility for their own failures to affect positive change when that is what they "desire".

chickens coming home to roost is all.

Mike

How were you raised? Did your parents provide you with comfort and the necessities to be succesful in life? I know i was provided with these things. I was raised with middle-class values and had all the advantage in the world. More than 80% of black kids are raised in poverty and are exposed to inner-city culture riddled with crime and neglect and discrimination. Do you really think that in such circumstances, these black kids have the same chance as you and me? Do you think that the consequences of centuries of abuse and institutionalized discrimination against blacks will be erased in just 40 years since the end of segregation? The parents of some of the young black kids you see today were raised in a segregated America. Do you know how many generations it takes to erase such abuse and the scars they leave behind?

Mike

Of course. Your double standard reveals your ignorance and lack of credibility. You slam Obama for his unfortunate comments, but excuse this moronic Congressman because he looks like you and comes from your side of the aisle. Shame on you.

Nobody who is semi-educated believes that racism is dead, or that it probably ever will die. It is the duty of a culture as a whole to suppress it, and not rest blame on individuals. The fact is, most of today's generation has been harped on so much by parents, schools, and television that it's a bad thing, so rarely will you encounter it unless you happen to go to the deep south, or inner city somewhere.

I am embarrased for most of the people that have made these comments. We all should be able to differ in our opinions, without being nasty and belligerent about it.

Contrary to what it seems like, we should not be at war with each other; as we have enough real issues in the world to contend with.

I'm quite certain that the authors here are much more intelligent than their comments would lead one to believe....or at least I hope so.

WHAT ABOUT BILL CLINTON AND HIS TRADE WITH CHINA FOR $700.00
HE AND HILLARY IS 2 CROOKS

If Scranton prefers to blindly support a blatant liar that happens to be dodging sniper fire one day, to getting hospital stories mixed up the next day, to being a gun owner and avid church goer, so be it.

That clearly spells ignorance and pure gullibility.

There's no hope for those who don't mind being lied to.

WHAT ABOUT BILL CLINTON AND HIS TRADE WITH CHINA FOR $700.00
HE AND HILLARY IS 2 CROOKS

I doubt that an independent will win in a general election (sorry Ralph Nader, but you just can't win) and so that leaves me having to choose a democrat, because god help us if another republican (particularly one that is so aligned with "Dubya" Bush) is elected!
And since Hillary is a PROVEN LIAR, that leaves Obama (even though he too has some faults). At least Obama doesn't pander, grandstand, or more importantly... LIE!
I have a message for superdelegates: PLEASE STOP HILLARY CLINTON! She is destroying the Democratic party and will not stop until it is completely obliterated! Someone STOP her! All of you superdelegates get behind Obama and END this once and for all, or else fear yet another Bush term!

I have been a Hillary supporter from the beginning and would vote for her if she was the democratic nominee but.....I am so tired of the candidates slamming one another back and forth...then back and forth again over petty little slip-ups. It's not just Hillary it's both Hillary and Obama giving each other equal time. Enough is enough. I'm so tired of it I kind of want to vote for McCain!

this is another "dean scream"... a total non-issue

maybe america learned that you can still be president after you are "caught" saying yeeha, especially when the alternative is a criminal mind like a bu$h or clinton

OK Now enlighten me please somebody, anybody. Obama is obviously not black, not with a white mother, yet everyone including himself calls him black. He is biracial and is missing the supreme opportinity to bring this country together racially by embracing both races. Instead he sits in a "church" listening to a "pastor" rant and rave against whites and ends up painting a picture of a man who himself hates whites. This in itself makes him unfit for any public office but, what is wrong with this picture. Does being half black make him or anyone automatically black? Does it negate the white half? I am honestly curious. Does my Italian half negate my Lithuanian half? Or vise versa? Please someone enlighten me. He is biracial no matter what.

The Republicans are warming up their attack machines.....

Stay tuned.....

balthus:
first, calm down, take a breath, and come to the sad difficult realization that 1. what Obama said can only be interpreted one way, and it ain't good, and 2. the temerity and hypocrisy with which he asks everyone else to apologize/get fired for remarks, 3. combine to make him unelectable. Contrary to what most obamazombies think, he is not Jesus; but take solace in the fact that he IS like Jesus in one sense: good carpenter (can deftly hammer nails into coffin).

OBAMA IS ONCE AGAIN A VERY INTELLIGENT PERSON. STOP, STOP THE MADNESS. STOP, STOP THE FEAR.

If someone created a website which allowed us to vote on one simple question, 'are we bitter about how things have been going here in the United States', do you think the happy campers would 'win' or do you think the Americans who are fed up, been pushed down, passed over and trickled on would outnumber those who prefer to wear blinders?

For Hillary to try to twist this comment is beyond her normal campaign games, it's an act of desperation. When more google for information on her pastor and spritual advisor, Doug Coe, they may come to realize it is all a game to her. When they google through all the campaign lies alone, whether it's bullets flying, joining the Marines or simply her stands on issues, they will realize we'll be the losers in these games.

If you want to discuss someone out of touch or elitist, think about the string of unpaid bills Clinton has left in every state she's been in, bills owed to small vendors. Consider why one would fork out $26,000 for an orchestra for a fundraiser yet not pay her workers' health insurance premiums for two months. Is that not elitist?

Bill is now trying to help Hillary again but he needs to clean up his own front porch first. His charities not only support Alibaba, Inc., accused of collaborating with the government in its crackdown on Tibetan activists, his scholarships finance schools in Dubai who won't even accept Israeli students.

Perhaps Bill needs to do twenty years of community service in the south side of Chicago to get a grip on what constitutes an elitist.

Was Bill taking advantage of a young girl in his employ not elitist? Was his putting himself above her interests, the interests of his family, the Democratic Party and our country somehow not elitist?

And btw, we were fooled by a beer drinking party guy trying to act like the common man before, look where it got us. And if using that campaign game is not elitist, I'll eat my hat.

Unfortunately, you have me mistaken. I've never once said anything against Obama, other than he probably won't win. What I see is a pro-black middle-class American who apparently can't let go of the fact that most black kids today don't think twice about 40 years ago, or the slavery hundreds of years ago. How I was raised is not an issue, but know this: I serve in the military, where all of my black and white and mexican and philippine and asian friends have the EXACT same opportunities, both in our terms, and especially when they separate from service. So don't whine to me about oppression and holding them down. The choices they make are what put them in situations such as poverty, just like the white people right next to them. If they don't want to live in a city racked by such things, pick up and move.

Through out the campaigning for the primaries there have been a number of Republicans who have accidentally said the name Obama for Osama. There were several Republicans from Huckabee to McCain and Thompson to Romney as well as Bush and Chaney who have all at one time or another said in front of the cameras Obama Bin Laden instead of Osama Bin Laden then there was the terrorist Obama instead of the terrorist Osama or the al Qaida leader Obama instead of the al Qaida leader Osama. Well the Republican strategy has worked, because so many of the right winged, conservative Republicans are so convinced that Obama is Osama that it just proves how easily influenced they really are.

WHERE DO SOME OF THESE MORONS COME FROM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!DC VOTER,DEE,JENNA,STANCH,MARY,KRIS,BRIAN,MIKE.I would love to thank you for all of your raceist sentiments.You will all recieve a Email from me soon.Thanks!

How many roads must a Senator walk down before they call him a man? Let's hope this ugliness is behind us when Sen. Obama is President Obama.

Do a google search for pill popping Cindy McCain

There are so many racist people in this country, it saddens me. Here is a blackman that is self-made, never commited a crime, played by the rules, accomplished more than most of us ever will with 10 lifetimes. But we tear him down not on the issues (Jesus, nevermind the issues), but on personal insults and whether or not he understands white, blue-collar voters, or whether or not his pator hates white people. Is this country only for white people? Can a black man ever get a fair shake in thsi country? I guess not.

Wow- the racists are out in full force today.

Well done, ABC.

I hope Pubs are ready for another President Clinton. They certainly deserve it.

I personally don't believe either Clinton or Obama can follow through on a great many promises they have made. First and foremost among them, the withdrawal of all our troops from Iraq. That is a lie both of them have told that has yet to be uncovered if in the unlikely even either of them makes it to the Oval Office.

The comment says everything about those who oppose the Senator from Illinois …

Here in Canada we have followed the American primaries with considerable interest as the world is slowly slipping into a global catastrophe of economic collapse and bitter conflict ….

It comes as a rather shocking development to also hear Ms. Clinton referring to Mr. Obama in a quite condescending manner as if he were being "Uppity" …

For a Caucasian person of wealth to make such an inference harkens back to a different time in American politics circa George Wallace et al … Strangely no one has called her on this … is everyone asleep at the switch in the American Media?

Mike

Don't tell me about the f*cking military. I asked you about inner cities. So what if he's pro-black? So f*cking what? Aren't our politicians always saying they are pro-blue collar workers (which is code word for white ethnics)? This is the double standard here that is so blatant. I have been to these inner cities volunteering. My company has a very broad community outreach program. I have volunteered in prisons, in school, and abroad. A black man in this country is usually f*cked from the very beginning. Only the luckiest even make it as far a the military. If environmental factors are not to blame for the plight of the black man, what then is? Biological factors? Are you saying blacks are biologically inferior to whites? There can only be two plausible options here. Which the f*ck is it?

The racists on this blog -- boy did they come out like roaches today!?!!! -- like Mike and Brian should be ignored. It's unfortunate that they were raised so poorly.

But the Clintonistas have been flirting with such thoughts for some time. They just don't quite come out and say it quite as bluntly.

Crawl back into your holes, Mike and Brian!

Obama 2008 -- Yes, WE CAN!!!

Mike, did you happen to pay attention in high school, or have you not gotten there yet? The introduction of civil rights did not instantaneously level the political, social and economic playing fields for all races. There continue to be many barriers in place for African Americans in this country, as well as countless other minorities; and while I think things are getting a little better, there is still a lot of hate and division in this country. Hate crimes against African Americans in particular are still prevalent, among others (see how big of a difference there is as opposed to other races?): http://www.fbi.gov/ucr/hatecm.htm (Data's a little old, but i'm not wasting any more time than a google search.) Despite what you may think, racial hatred in this country has not simply disappeared. Please do everyone a favor and study a little bit of sociology before posting such an ignorant and offensive comment like that again.

Kevin: I see you railing about how the government is at the core of all the problems with inner city crime, poor infrastructure, poor teachers...do you know how stupid you sound? OF COURSE gov't is to blame: conservatives wish to live by the words of Thomas Paine "government that governs least governs best", but that wasn't on American Idol or in a rap song so you probably don't know that reference. I'm from Chgo and I've see seen the south side: a complete sh*thole, and guess what? Illinois, being the most corrupt state in the union, is completely run by democrats. Further, you could throw all the money you want into the south side, but until the residents there learn to study, work hard, take responsibilty for their actions, and stop having out of wedlock births (at 70% now, many at age 12-18), they will NEVER improve their lot in life. I mean, should we breathe for them too? Quit you damn whining, blaming whitey (or do you prefer honkey, cracker, the man, or blue-eyed white devil?) for your complete lack of ambition, lack of intelligence, lack of industry, lack of imagination, lack of morality, lack of decency, lack of insight, lack of responsibility, lack of accountability, lack of charity, lack of...

Republicans twist and distort the truth and "conservative" voters line up at the trough to swallow the swill. I guess some folks love to be lied to...as long as the liar is a member of the tribe.

We white folks always claim that racism is dead and both blacks and whites have the same opportunities. Okay, so if they have the same opportunities, why are blacks so far behind? Please, one of you bigots, give me an answer. Psychology teaches us that there are only two factors that affect behavior and achievement: Environmental factors and biological factors. Pick one.

Obama worked with Farrakhan to help lead the Million Man March. Along with other prominent black leaders such as Al Sharpton and Barack Obama, Farrakhan helped lead the Million Man March on Washington. A second march, called the Millions More Movement, took place in 2005. http://www.biography.com/search/article.do?id=9291850

Kevin, Obama admitted he did drugs. So, he did indeed commit a crime.

Kevin, conditions for black Americans will never improve as long as people like you and guilty white liberals continue to scapegoat whites for the problems in the black community.

70% of black children are born to single mothers, the vast majority of those mothers are under 20 years old. Fully half of black girls under the age of 18 have STD's. The high school drop out rate is about 60% (Dallas). One in four adult black men is either in prison or on parole. And of course, the Reverands Wright, Jackson and Sharpton, and apparently every black barber in America, will be happy to tell you all of their problems fall on the feet of white people.

I suppose 140 years is just not enough time to overcome slavery. I suppose 45 years is not enough time to overcome segregation. I suppose 30 years of "affirmative action" is not enough to make any difference. What needs to stop is this endless cycle of generational poverty, self-proclaimed victimhood and the blissful unemployment supported by entitlements which liberal whites are willing to finance with our taxes.

So Obama was called "boy." Its stupid to be so culturally clueless, but hardly worth crying about. Go listen to what your gansta rap pals call your women (bitch and hoe) and people like me and "boy" doesn't sound so bad, now does it?

So go ahead and toss me that racist tag. Could I care less. Nah, I don't think so.

Angela: you make absolutely no sense since just today an obama supporter called him Obama. Stop babbling.

Hawk

So by your argument, blacks are biologically inferior to whites? Thanks for that clarification. I wish all the racist bastards in here were as honest as you instead of coming in here pretending they are something other than what they are. For your information, i am not black. Not all white folks are bigots like you. And about your Chicago argument: Theer are cities in the South worse than Chicago. In fact, geiographically,t he South is far worse than democratic areas in this country. All major American cities are run by democrats. I wonder why the sh*thole South is Republican territory. I wonder why despite the high percentage of black Democrats, on average, more democrats finish college than republicans. Just wondering. Your argument is stupid, Hawk. You and your family are all bastards. For your information. democrats are smart people. Republicans are racist bigots.

See, I even got it wrong. What with all obama's leftist anti-American unpatriotic views, I was thinking osama and said obama. My fault!

Coming from a state which still has "My Old Kentucky Home" - a song which celebrates the days of slavery - as the state song, and the past it has. We all know he meant BOY as in SLAVERY as in N gg r. No one can spin this any other way than the truth. Hillary Clinton and John McCain have allowed the racists to remove their hoods and robes and must be held responsible for the condition of this election. It has deteriorated to this. Courtesy Hillary Clinton, Bill Clinton and John McCain.

This is kind of changing the subject but.....who has John Edwards endorsed? I really kind of liked him. I was kind of hoping it would be a Clinton/Edwards ticket.

I thought this was a news blog. My mistake. It appears I ended up on a racist one.

Obama is really stirring up the pot. I wouldn't be surprised if he sits back and smokes it and laughs at all the hoopla he's causing. Nah, he's just happy his books are finally selling.

Yeah we're all racists.

Obama is too young and inexperienced to have control of the button, hence the term BOY.

Enough of the drummed up, boy who cried wolf garbage.

Obama is too young and inexperienced. Oh and he's unelectable.

Jay

It's not about the disease or the symptoms. It's about what's causing the disease. Don't tell me about the decay of the black community. Tell me about why this is so. It's also not about slavery, even though that was bad enough. tell me about when segregation ended? tell me about when black communities started getting a taste of the type of government infrastructure that helped pull whites out of poverty after the great depression. What would ahve been of white America without the GI bill or the jobs that sprouted after the great depression? tell me what was the efefct of leaving blacks out the the greatest economic boom the world has ever seen? This wasn't 150 years ago. That's the great deception. To think that black problems started and ended with slavery is foolery on an almost inconceivable level.
