He's been offending me for months now. Glad he apologized.

But then, he has the gall to criticize Clinton for using his words against him.

What an empty suit! Why would anybody vote for an empty suit?

Obama knew what he was saying. He was, after all, pandering to the rich in California and was unaware that he was being taped. Now, he's trying to convince people that he merely used a poor choice of words.

But his words were clear enough. And not his apologists come out and try to convince us about what he really meant. There really is a sucker born every minute.

Whoa! We dems are going to lose this election if we nominate this guy! No doubt. What an arrogant, condescending jerk.

The only way to unite the country is a McCain/Clinton or Clinton/McCain ticket. Come on, team up!

Good observation. Unfortunately, Obama is rich with rhetoric and poor with real solutions.

Obama is good with rethoric as long is a pre-written speech otherwise he never knows what to say. But snubbing small town people to pander for campaign funds to donors? This Obama politician is no change, he is unelectable.

Sure he regrets it. He regrets it because he was caught, and made to look arrogant and condescending --coincidentally, things he actually is.

Did Michelle Obama file a separate tax return? Do we know anything about her income sources?

So true. But, hey, aren't we all in the mood for another spectacular SPEECH by Obama wherein the lectures all of us idiots on why he thinks he's so great and how we should learn to be like him?
Come on, here he is talking to the white wine crowd calling voters a bunch of white trash. And he and his supporters are not apologizing. They all think he's right.

Once again, will the real Barry Hussein Obama please stand up?

West Coast Mess:

Is that the best you can do today? Hungover?

At least Bill's staying quiet about Bosnia today -- so far!!!

Obama 2008 -- Yes, WE CAN!!!

He deeply regrets lying about Rezko, he deeply regrets the "snippets" of hate from the sermons he listens for 20 years, he deeply regrets that people know about "bundlers for his campaign financing",He regrets "pushing the wrong button", he regrets that Michelle is not proud of the country", "he regrets taking money from Oil and sub-prime mortgage" The truth that is the way he is. UNELECTABLE

Obama - Words? Are they just words?

Obama is right. I live in a small town in Ohio, and bitter IS a word I would use to discribe people at this point. Bitter, angry, and disillusioned. I don't think he has any reason to apologize, and I think Sen. Clinton is just grasping at any straw to try to salvage her miserably mismanaged campaign. If anyone doesn't understand small town values, it's her.

Does Obama have a plan for getting our troops out of Bosnia?

Any body who is from small town America knows this is not going away any time soon I guess he did not know this is the ultimate insult to white working class and as some one who was born and rasied in Bucks county PA. I am offened we get what he said.

We don't want anybody commiserating about their childhood. You have to be made into an elitist - Harvard -2008-

I am a rich American who made my money myself. I did not inherit it from my father. What Obama said is the real truth! I am appalled that he has to recant the wording.

"You demand politicians to be honest and when they speak the truth you despise them"

Now a question!
Are you all blue collar workers in small towns in PA happy that you have lost your good paying jobs, houses, sons and daughters in Iraq? Are you not bitter?

He spent yesterday and most of today defending what he said then once he realized people started to question him, he switch to an apology. For some one who says "words matter" you think he would watch what he says. He is lousy when he speaks for himself, he should stick to the material his speech writers give him.

NOBAMA PACK YOUR BAGS AND LEAVE, That would be better. You are digging a bigger hole and getting yourself in deeper. You can't campaign for voters and then insult them. Maybe people are angry, but bitter? Quit Obama, i hope you lose badly in PA, so you'll get the message loud and clear.

Bajanluv You might like Obama. I don't he is divisive, self centered and I do not think he cares for all Americans. He really believes that all his fool lowers are "highly educated" and that the rest of the people don't think for themeselves. I hope is not too late for Americans to realize that Obama is all about resentment,hate and elitism. Obama does not have a chance in November. If he becomes the nominee we will have four more years of Republican disaster. No to Obama the "sophisticated" politician.
