Last poll had Clinton up by 36% in Kentucky.

I don't think they are too impressed by Mr Obama and his hip hop style.

Keep counting that pop vote.

I guess the "bitter" small town folks made their "bitter" voices heard by "clinging" to their votes.

I hope the rest of the states follow suit! Michigan tried, but obama OPPRESSED our right to vote since he rejected our re-vote.

Gauranteed he will NOT get Michigans vote in November.

Just because the mainstream media thinks this issue is over. IT IS NOT OVAH!!

Why bother with Kentucky. It will never vote Demacratic ever!

I want a candidate who will give us Universal health Care similar to France and England.

I want a candidate who will make college tuition free for everyone, similar to France, and other European countries.

I want a candidate who will provide a living wage - $11.00 per hour.

I want a candidate who will turn this energy oil-crud business, into U.S.A. green based energy ideas - NO NUKES.

I want ... too much.

Poop - Time to move to Canada.

Senator Obama is an arrogant fool when it comes to rural Ameica and hard-working Americans. After all, he is from South Chicago where gangs, crimes, drugs and handouts of other people's money reign as supreme. He did nothing to help this district when he had the chance other than legislate more hand-outs to irresponsible people. Bet he never washed dishes or cleaned office floors to put food on his table. He grew up with other people paying his way and patting him on the back. He is what most Americans would call a "spoil brat". Usually, people outgrow this by age 45, but in his case it becomes more pronounced as time goes by. He thinks he deserves to be President--not from all the good things he has done for America but just because he is Barack Obama and he wants the power. Maybe he should just go back to South Chicago, get between gang members with their guns, put up his hand and say, hey, fella, let's unite.

Come on a Republican state senator McCain does not even veil his planted questions.

Hey don't count Ky out just yet. They will hand him his head on a platter.
67% to 33% that's a whale of a difference. We have 60 delegates. How many does she pick up and how many does he get out of that. Better do the math people, plus add to the popular vote. I can promise you we are fired up and ready down here, so come on down Obama, we have a message for you here too, come back later.

It's ok to oppose a candidate, but there is nothing here but hate.

NO, Kevin, I don't think you have an insurmountable lead.

It's ok to oppose a candidate, but there is nothing here but hate.

You OBAMA Get out of the race. You can win the general election in novemeber.. Just get out of the race. You don't have enough experiecne and vision.

People of america should vote for either Mccain or clint.

Kevin - The math? The math says one half of all democrats refuse to support Obama, period. No now, not ever. How's that for math? BTW, good luck with FL and MI voters.

Obama should thank those new registerd voters in Penn and let him survive only 10% defeat....

No doubt Obama will do the same thing in KY..

However, those "new voters" will be returned to their orignal base in GE, guess where they came from....Reps....

So it is clear Obama has no way to win Penn and KY in GE...

It's really sad that these people Obama called 'bitter' can't see where their real resources lie - WITH OBAMA !!!!!!!!!!! Obama is the only one that will lift a finger on your behalf. Hillary doens't misspeak ... great - she only lies. Hmmm ... tough choice, a misspeaker vs a liar. To these voters, please vote for McCain - and in 4 years you'll be bitter for real !!!

Kevin,

Please don't fall in love with your Polls... It is very decieved based on a few hundreds of people....

One typical example: Kerry was supposed to beat Bush by POLL in 2004......Al Gore was supposed to beat Bush by POLL in 2000....

The race is competitive and 50+1 will consider a win.....

Obama has no way to win over white states because majority of white won't support him because of his race: admit or not...He could not even win white votes in his own party, how can he beat rep with majority white support????

If you think the DNC will turn over the nominaton to someone they know will lose while there is another candidate waiting in the wings who has a better shot at getting into the White House, then you are truly fooling yourselves.

And let's say Obama wins the White House in November. Will Congress then bow down to him and suddenly turn all nice - eagerly joining the coalitions Obama envisions as a part of his success? WRONG --- Hillary will be running against him for the next 4 years.

It's lucky, lots of new voters and young voters voted for Obama, those people were not involved in politics much enough, they didn't know Obama enough, they were fooled by Obama's hyperthetical image and fantastic 'change' concept. Otherwise, Obama would have been defeated more.

Obama not only lacks of experience, but also lacks of self-knowledge.

He should get out now. Otherwise, he will waste more money, waste more rural town people's money.

Long but worth the read, every statement footnoted:
Just Words: Senator Obama’s Record of Exaggerations & Misstatements (**Various noted sources)
Sen. Obama consistently and falsely claims that he was a law professor. The Sun-Times reported that, “Several direct-mail pieces issued for Obama’s primary [Senate] campaign said he was a law professor at the University of Chicago. He is not. He is a senior lecturer (now on leave) at the school. In academia, there is a vast difference between the two titles. Details matter.” In academia, there’s a significant difference: professors have tenure while lecturers do not. [Hotline Blog, 4/9/07; Chicago Sun-Times, 8/8/04]

Obama claimed credit for nuclear leak legislation that never passed. “Obama scolded Exelon and federal regulators for inaction and introduced a bill to require all plant owners to notify state and local authorities immediately of even small leaks. He has boasted of it on the campaign trail, telling a crowd in Iowa in December that it was ‘the only nuclear legislation that I’ve passed.’ ‘I just did that last year,’ he said, to murmurs of approval. A close look at the path his legislation took tells a very different story. While he initially fought to advance his bill, even holding up a presidential nomination to try to force a hearing on it, Mr. Obama eventually rewrote it to reflect changes sought by Senate Republicans, Exelon and nuclear regulators. The new bill removed language mandating prompt reporting and simply offered guidance to regulators, whom it charged with addressing the issue of unreported leaks. Those revisions propelled the bill through a crucial committee. But, contrary to Mr. Obama’s comments in Iowa, it ultimately died amid parliamentary wrangling in the full Senate.” [New York Times, 2/2/08]

Obama misspoke about his being conceived because of Selma. “Mr. Obama relayed a story of how his Kenyan father and his Kansan mother fell in love because of the tumult of Selma, but he was born in 1961, four years before the confrontation at Selma took place. When asked later, Mr. Obama clarified himself, saying: ‘I meant the whole civil rights movement.’” [New York Times, 3/5/07]

LA Times: Fellow organizers say Sen. Obama took too much credit for his community organizing efforts. “As the 24-year-old mentor to public housing residents, Obama says he initiated and led efforts that thrust Altgeld’s asbestos problem into the headlines, pushing city officials to call hearings and a reluctant housing authority to start a cleanup. But others tell the story much differently. They say Obama did not play the singular role in the asbestos episode that he portrays in the best-selling memoir ‘Dreams From My Father: A Story of Race and Inheritance.’ Credit for pushing officials to deal with the cancer-causing substance, according to interviews and news accounts from that period, also goes to a well-known preexisting group at Altgeld Gardens and to a local newspaper called the Chicago Reporter. Obama does not mention either one in his book.” [Los Angeles Times, 2/19/07]

Chicago Tribune: Obama’s assertion that nobody had indications Rezko was engaging in wrongdoing ’strains credulity.’ “…Obama has been too self-exculpatory. His assertion in network TV interviews last week that nobody had indications Rezko was engaging in wrongdoing strains credulity: Tribune stories linked Rezko to questionable fundraising for Gov. Rod Blagojevich in 2004 - more than a year before the adjacent home and property purchases by the Obamas and the Rezkos.” [Chicago Tribune editorial, 1/27/08]

Obama was forced to revise his assertion that lobbyists ‘won’t work in my White House.’ “White House hopeful Sen. Barack Obama (D-Ill.) was forced to revise a critical stump line of his on Saturday - a flat declaration that lobbyists ‘won’t work in my White House’ after it turned out his own written plan says they could, with some restrictions… After being challenged on the accuracy of what he has been saying - in contrast to his written pledge - at a news conference Saturday in Waterloo, Obama immediately softened what had been his hard line in his next stump speech.” [Chicago Sun-Times, 12/16/07]

FactCheck.org: ‘Selective, embellished and out-of-context quotes from newspapers pump up Obama’s health plan.’ “Obama’s ad touting his health care plan quotes phrases from newspaper articles and an editorial, but makes them sound more laudatory and authoritative than they actually are. It attributes to The Washington Post a line saying Obama’s plan would save families about $2,500. But the Post was citing the estimate of the Obama campaign and didn’t analyze the purported savings independently. It claims that “experts” say Obama’s plan is “the best.” “Experts” turn out to be editorial writers at the Iowa City Press-Citizen - who, for all their talents, aren’t actual experts in the field. It quotes yet another newspaper saying Obama’s plan “guarantees coverage for all Americans,” neglecting to mention that, as the article makes clear, it’s only Clinton’s and Edwards’ plans that would require coverage for everyone, while Obama’s would allow individuals to buy in if they wanted to.” [FactCheck.org, 1/3/08]

Sen. Obama said ‘I passed a law that put Illinois on a path to universal coverage,’ but Obama health care legislation merely set up a task force. ”As a state senator, I brought Republicans and Democrats together to pass legislation insuring 20,000 more children. And 65,000 more adults received health care…And I passed a law that put Illinois on a path to universal coverage.” The State Journal-Register reported in 2004 that “The [Illinois State] Senate squeaked out a controversial bill along party lines Wednesday to create a task force to study health-care reform in Illinois. […] In its original form, the bill required the state to offer universal health care by 2007. That put a ‘cloud’ over the legislation, said Sen. Dale Righter, R-Mattoon. Under the latest version, the 29-member task force would hold at least five public hearings next year.” [Obama Health Care speech, 5/29/07; State Journal-Register, 5/20/04]

ABC News: ‘Obama…seemed to exaggerate the legislative progress he made’ on ethics reform. “ABC News’ Teddy Davis Reports: During Monday’s Democratic presidential debate, Sen. Barack Obama, D-Ill., seemed to exaggerate the legislative progress he has made on disclosure of “bundlers,” those individuals who aggregate their influence with the candidate they support by collecting $2,300 checks from a wide network of wealthy friends and associates. When former Alaska Sen. Mike Gravel alleged that Obama had 134 bundlers, Obama responded by telling Gravel that the reason he knows how many bundlers he has raising money for him is “because I helped push through a law this past session to disclose that.” Earlier this year, Obama sponsored an amendment [sic] in the Senate requiring lobbyists to disclose the candidates for whom they bundle. Obama’s amendment would not, however, require candidates to release the names of their bundlers. What’s more, although Obama’s amendment was agreed to in the Senate by unanimous consent, the measure never became law as Obama seemed to suggest. Gravel and the rest of the public know how many bundlers Obama has not because of a ‘law’ that the Illinois Democrat has ‘pushed through’ but because Obama voluntarily discloses that information.” [ABC News, 7/23/07]

Obama drastically overstated Kansas tornado deaths during campaign appearance. “When Sen. Barack Obama exaggerated the death toll of the tornado in Greensburg, Kan, during his visit to Richmond yesterday, The Associated Press headline rapidly evolved from ‘Obama visits former Confederate capital for fundraiser’ to ‘Obama rips Bush on Iraq war at Richmond fundraiser’ to ‘Weary Obama criticizes Bush on Iraq, drastically overstates Kansas tornado death toll’ to ‘Obama drastically overstates Kansas tornado deaths during campaign appearance.’ Drudge made it a banner, ensuring no reporter would miss it. [politico.com, 5/9/07]

Obama may be "short" on the donations, but certainly not so on "words" He can go "long" on "embellishment"!
With Thanks to Jane

The big questions remain unanswered that cut to the core of Obama's credibility, character and judgment:

Mr. Obama, if you truly believe in a united America and are "post racial," why for the last 25 years have you aligned yourself and your family with the hateful, anti-America, anti-white, anti-semitic rhetoric of Jeremiah Wright and the Black Nationalist movement?

Mr. Obama, if you are truly the great uniter, why have you donated tens of thousands of dollars, including $26,000 last year alone, to Jeremiah Wright to further his message of hate and diviseness?

Mr. Obama, why did it take the media and plummeting poll numbers to jolt you out of what can only be described as a racist stupor to address, however inadequately, your association with racism and hate?

Mr. Obama?

Obama proved his Marxist blindness perfectly when he tried to defend his proposed increase on capital gains taxes.

Belief in punitive marginal tax rates is a tenet of good Marxists in the US.

Charles Gibson pointed out that revenues increase with lower rates, but Obama clung to his playbook, unable to deal with facts contrary to his learned responses.

The fact that he has palled around with far-left hate mongers for decades is coming out, finally, and it now seems to be why Obama avoids debates. He's like a frightened school girl afraid that he might make a fool of himself again as he did on ABC, or be called to account for a clear pattern of action and statements a Dorhn, Ayers or Wright would be proud of.

It is all out there, and "hope" and "change" fit perfectly with Ayers speech in 2007 at the SDS reunion about how to keep the revolution moving forward in the coming years. Big, wide, vague talk "until we can act", with their kind of people in positions of power.

Obama is bad, bad news for America. Our next task in Illinois is to vote this astounding hack off of our payroll and into the gutter with his hateful friends.

Hillary argument is dumb. If she does not win pensylvania where her parents are from, which is also in Northeast, where will she win then. 60 percent of voters were women and 40 percent were old people. North Carolina is another big state and after this match we go back to where we were. Superdelegates are not as dumb as hillary Clinton and her supoorters so i do not understand trying to convince them with dumb argument. If she thinks she has a chance let her use her money for the campaign

Woohoo,
Obama going down. Took himself down. Just like Dean when Dean went Yeeeeeeeeooooooooooooooooooowwwwwwhhhh! Just like Allen when Allen went Macaca! Just like Dukakis when Dukakis wore the snoopy hat! Just like Kerry when Kerry said "Reporting for Duty!" Just like Fonzie when Fonzie "Jumped the Shark". Obama going down!
========================================
Obama and Bittergate, we'll never forget!
========================================

Obama's campaign for the presidency is self-destructing. Chris Matthews just aired the NC Carolina ad showing the Wrong Reverend Right in all his glory - G*d d**n America!

Is this fair? Of course it is fair - it reflects Obama's character and judgement.

For those of you who say that Reverend Wright said nothing wrong, then you should have no problem with this ad.

Rise, Hillary, Rise!'08

Too bad they dont actually know what he said.
He said, that since their economic interests are being ignored and have been ignored for decades, they have given up hope that anyone they elect will make any real changes and so, they vote about personal issues instead, like anti-gay amendments, gun control laws, and anti-abortion laws.

Trishia, the first state in your list for HRC to win by, didnt measure up.
HRC did not win by ten points in Pa. Do the math.
She didnt have a double digit win.
She won by 9.3229
We always drop the remainder, when it is less than .5 and we never round up to the next whole number from .3 :
So she won by 9 not 10 in her home state with the DEM machine behind her in Philly and Pittsburgh.
Not so hot, really.

If they would actually run what the Rev Wright said, and play the part where he is quoting our ambassador, it would be fine. If you quote out of context anyone can be made to look silly.
Of course it is more interesting than actually quoting the candidates. HRC lied to the people of NH when she said MICH should not count because we have a small state first so an unknown can be heard without having to be a millionaire. What did she do, hit the I TAKE IT BACK, button?

bruce becker - Ten points win despite Obama spending 11 million dollars. Obama can't even buy himself a win in PA. The people of PA could have ended the race but instead voted AGAINST Obama! The people say NO to Obama!

WAY to GO Kentucky. Don't forget what Obama said. He's hoping that comment will just go away. Get out the vote and get Hillary in the White House! Git R Done!!

RC - Not even with 11 million, the most money ever spent in a primary state in history! The people said NO to Obama!

I am a 54 year old, middle class, white, female and have lived in Kentucky my entire life. I am proud to say that I support Barack Obama and his theme of change and hope. I am so sick of the nit picking going on about race, gender, income level, etc..! What does all that matter? It perpetuates stereotypes and does nothing to cast light on the candidates ideolologies or characters. Isn't THAT what we should all be interested in?

SEE YA IN NC HILLARY,

WILL SEE HOW MANY POINTS YOU WIN BY HERE!

START PACKING THAT BAG, YOUR OLD FRIENDS CANNOT RESCUE YOU ANY MORE IN NC!!

OBAMA08!! YES WE CAN!!

RC - I don't think Hillary will be contesting NC. I'm not positive on this info but it looks like that from where I sit.

I support HIllary Clinton, because she is sensible, strong, intelligent, and trustworthy. By trustworthy, I mean that I trust her to improve things for all Americans. That is precisely what Bill Clinton did, and I suspect she will do the same. I also am somewhat appalled and bothered by the extreme fannaticism of a lot of Obama supporters. These people can be quite cruel in their language and in their attempts to dismiss the bulk of the democratic party. I keep thinking, "Where did y'all come from?" If Obama gets the nomination the press and the newcomers to the party can thank themselves. McGovern all over again-- good luck winning without the base of the democratic party...the press should really think about losing their credibility because they seem in love with Obama and that is not objective. A lot of times I get my news from the Mexican channels because at least then it is without all the spin. I only understand about 3/4ths of what they are saying because my Spanish is not the greatest, but it is better than hearing this and that news anchor basically chastising HRC for staying in the fight. The caucus in Texas was a joke, it did prove how unfair caucuses are. HRC won the primary by 4 or 5 %, but somehow lost in the caucus. I really wish the news would do in depth coverage on what happens at these caucuses, because here in Texas there was all kinds of cheating and irregularitis reported. Thank goodness the GE is not a caucus and cannot be manipulated. The caucus, to say the least, is not representative of the true will of the people.

"Why bother with Kentucky. It will never vote Demacratic ever!"

I suggest you look at who won Kentucky in 1992 and 1996. Now let's go down the list of states Obama won.

geevill - You wanna look at the red states Obama won and make the same statement?

This article shows that the full impact of Obama's wright/clinging bitterness has not even been scratched. He got creamed in PA even without the votes of Republicans and Independents who are deeply offended.

In November Obama can probably take Illinois, Maryland, Vermont, Washington, and Oregon. A couple other perhaps. But the West, South, and Northeast. Every else, not enough black, naive youngsters , and elitist rich white liberals.

I just want to add that what I thought was wrong with Obama's comments on guns and religion is that it is very arrogant and eggheaded to judge people from small towns like he did. Elitist??-- or just an arrogant eggheaded, smart alec snob??? I cannot stand arrogant people. They are the opposite of smart.

It's always amazing to me how the internet can bring together such highly concentrated masses of stupidity and hatred such as for example appears on this message board.

You all truly deserve the incompetent, corrupt, murderous government you have gotten and will continue to get.

Now *that's* bitter!

Dogsolider: Looks like my efforts in PA paid off with a big win for our gal!! Oh it's SWEET,SWEET,NECTAR!!

Russell, it doesn't matter that she won Pa., that was expected. But Hillary won't be the nominee

The Oscar goes to Obama

Staged, Scripted, Screen play, Acted out for the American people.

Fake, Phony, pretend and made-up, Charade to blind side the American people.

Will the real Obama please stand up.

Karma: If she is not the nominee then McCain will be Mr. President and the Dems lose as usual!

Such narrow minded people here. This is our America, sigh, it's unfortunate.

Obama will NEVER win over Clinton supporters. The nastier his surrogates, supporters, bloggers, and campaign tactics become, the more determined we will be to vote for anyone other than Obama. The media rationalizes that if Obama gets the nod, Hillary's supporters will change their minds and pledge their votes to him in November. Not going to happen. Not ever.

HILLARY '08

It is Michigan and Florida's problem, they couldn't wait. If they had done so, they might have been at the center of the scene, like so many other states. But no, they had to skirt past the rules. Next time an olympic athlete wins a gold medal and says they are the best, when no one was competing, let me know. Clinton can't win, yet her ego won't allow her to do what is best for the party. If it was the other way around, you bet she would be saying "get out of race Obama!". The contestants agreed to play by the rules. So far Obama is only one doing so. He released his and his wifes taxes. For some reason, Clinton didn't feel the need to until the pressure became to great. They said they would go by the delegate count. But since Clinton is behind there, she wants to say "well I won these states". Come on, who thinks NY, CA, Penn, will go for McCain. Anyway you slice it, Clinton can't catch Obama. Boo Hoo..Get over it lady. She had to play by Karl Rove's book by inputing Osama Bin Laden in an ad. (SCARE TACTIC!).

No one minds when Barack supports and the press call HRC shrill, emotional, and desperate. I think a lot of these comments are openly sexist. Somehow it is understood that people can be extremely belittling to HRC and that is okay but when HRC fights Obama it is a low road and such. That is just hypocrisy. Go Hillary.

on top of bitter, he now says florida and michigan votes are abstract.
obama the fool!

Dogsoldier and West Coast Messenger!

You guys are the best.

As far as analysis goes, remember that this is the first time anyone has voted since the Wright controversy and the "bitter" comments came out. This is the first time that people have voted since it became apparent that Obama's supporters and attorneys had stopped the FL and MI revote plans.

Remeber that Hillary and Obama are only 2 points apart on college educated supporters in PA...

So now Obama is dissing older voters....unelectable...not elitist...just totally out of touch.

Vote Hillary!!!

Hillary is nice. Anyone calling her bitter is probably just bitter themselves. I think SNL should do a skit on the Obama cult like phenomenom. Y'all take this all too seriously. Go Hillary!!! Back to my Mexican news. Prospero Ano y Felizidad!!! A Happy, Prosperous Year to all of you.

Regardless of what the caucus-circus produced here, the "bitter" and "angry" voters clinging to their guns and religion comments by Obama also resonated in Kansas.

Kansas church members and gun owners encompass a significant majority of its voters as previous elections have shown.

Kansan voters are known for being the silent majority that usually waits to express itself until November.

And, Mr. Obama, we will...

Very telling...that it's perfectly acceptable to refer to young voters in condescending, "put-down" ways...yet naming "bitternness" and acknowledging the very real "God/Gays/Guns" phenom with another block of voters...is offensive? Same with newly registered Dems...lots of negatives about them being thrown around as well, yet somehow that's O.K. Hmm...
I wish you all well.

I have read through alot of these post on this site, I somewhat get the impression that people speak as though Hillary is their best friend, like one they have dinner with on a regular basis, and I read that some feel Barack has had a easy life growing up. I don't think Hillary has had a hard life, and for alot of us we are not people that they would be considered as a part of the crowd they run with. We only know of them by what they tell us they are going to do, we really don't know their real thoughts, as we can not read minds. We all have our views of on each of them. I myself have never liked Hillary, I don't hate her, I have always gotten a negative impression of her. I also feel that if she is the nominee, that she will not defeat McCain. I used to vote Republican all the time until the last election. I myself trust Barack. No matter who is ever president, none do all they say they plan to do, none of them are perfect, and I don't believe that whoever gets into the whitehouse is going to cause my salary to be raised, no matter how high the gas or groceries get. It also seems that it is the Clinton family running for office, not just Hillary.
I had a thought on the issue about Baracks former Pastor, many put him down for what his Pastor said, but I would say that if you new Hillary personally that there would be things that you did not agree with her on, and many still will vote for her and she herself stood beside Bill after his affair with Monica came out, though he denied it all at first and as far as Pastors go I know many and there are things or statements they make that I do not agree with, but I do not disfellowship them and just because a man says something does not mean that a paticular person thinks the same way.
Also many people that consider themselves God fearing Christians, their thoughts are not to far from Mr. Wrights, in that judgement is coming upon America.
I guess in a perfect world a election would be held with out down grading each other, and that it would be done in truth and honesty, not lies and deception or false accusations.

Silly people, just because you're not bitter doesn't mean no one is. I sure as he-ll am bitter after having the Republicans take our budget surplus and give it to the richest in the country and give us a war we can't afford and on and on and on. Give me a break. Please educate yourself and realize why the right is pushing for Hillary so hard. She isn't going to change a thing for you non-bitter people. I suppose you're happy the way things are because they sure won't change for you with the hateful attitudes I see here

YES SHE CAN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Obama's intolerant remarks are resonating all over the country: women, old, gay, etc. He has nerve condemning religion, when he belongs to the most segregated church. HYPOCRITE. Kentucky will be Hillary country for sure.

YES she can.

Undecided Superdelegates start to lean on Hillary and they don't want Hillary to quit. It's on PBS tonight.

Karma,

If Hillary is not the nominee those "VIEW" girls already said it on tv (including Whoopy)they will give it to Mc Cain and let Mc Cain takes care the mess.

LMAO crisis. I guess the view will decide this election then

Obama is just too liberal for Kentucky.

Folks,even though the Dem runners aint perfect,please don't make the mistake of voting in another Republican.Us plain folk are hurtin purty bad...

Jackie,
You are probably right, Obama's probably just out of touch. I'm not sure about the flipping off deal, or the sassy brushing off of his jacket. It looks a little arrogant. Maybe he's just immature and naive - yes, definitely out of touch!
========================================
Obama, out of touch with working class voters!
========================================

If we are not bitter, why do we need Obama and Clinton to change things? Bitter according to webster dictionary only means "frustration". People who are against Obama would never open their eyes to this because they are blinded by their hate. This is sad.

There are a lot of under-educated people in the US. This is the fault of the educational system. People, if you don't know the meaning of a word, have enough since to look it up. "I am upset because Obama said I'm bitter" give me a break!!!

I wonder just how many people in previous primaries/caucuses wish to take their vote for Obama back. Just imagine folks, if the whole truth about Barack Obama came out when it should have, Hillary would have had this thing by a landslide a long time ago. The supers need to think about that as well. Obama is not electable in the GE>

Go Kentucky! You are reading Obama for who he really is, an elite, left wing extreamist, who hasn't got a clue about mainstream America. The more he opens his mouth, the moore we are shocked by who he really is!

Over 25 years ago, I had the prividge to visit Inez kentucky. Good down to earth people, who won't be hoodwinked.

Yeah Texan and like Hillary is "one of the people"...what a joke. She's had a pampered life since marrying Slick Willy - $109 million bucks, yep she's really understanding of the blue-collar way of life. Keep drinking that Clinton kool-aid.

Mary, isn't that his name? I didn't think his name was an equation.
It would be disasterous for Obama to be in the WH. Who would be the VP? Wright, Rattso, the NBPP, Aykers?
The more Obama opens his mouth, the more turned off the people of America have become....as I said in an earlier post, there are a lot of folks from previous primaries/caucuses that wish they could have taken their vote back.

You should have said they are not impressed by his skin colour since that is what you mean.
Some here are trying to find an excuse for their racist attitude.

DID HE JUST CALL THE VOTERS OF MICHIGAN AND FLORIDA, ABSTRACT?

I guess if you are the confident, arrogant, know it all Obama, you don't need Michigan and Florida.

Unbelievable! "The Uniter"

Really when Obama uttered his "bitter" remarks he was projecting. The fact is that his base is composed of those who deep down are bitter and angry at America. What unites the leftists, the liberal affluent elite, the black separatists, and the academic intellectuals is their anger and dislike of America. They are all people who until now "have never been proud of America" as Michelle Obama put it.

No, Mary, I don't want Hillary just because she is a woman. Every one of these candidates has 'baggage.' But the candidate of my choice, and obviously a lot of other voters is Hillary because she is the one most prepared to go in and get started on day one. She has much more experience than Obama. And as of late, these shocking revelations about Obama has turned off a great deal of the American people. When put on the spot, Obama stutters and stammers over his words instead of being able to speak them from the teleprompters to the right and left of him in his speeches.
Hillary represents the working class, lunch-box-toting, blue collar American......like me.

I'm a working class person blue collar myself and bitter. Bitter that the government takes so much of my money and does nothing but squander it on moronic endeavors. I can't ever see Hillary being able to understand the plight of us in the real world, no one that has that wealth can know. It's been decades since she's entered into the world of money - she's forgotten what it's like.

She is driven by power, nothing more...she told Bill years ago to "screw em" when talking about us blue collar workers. Well screw her. I don't forget that easily because she's still the same power-thirsty person. Her presidency would be a disaster - she can't even control her campaign staff, or run it with a balanced budget. I don't want her greedy hands anywhere near what's left of my paycheck. NO thanks.

I've been an independent all my life, mainly leaning republican but they are just a joke which I can no longer stomach. This country is in a complete mess, part of which originated from the Clinton years. Thanks again, but no thanks.

kentuckians don't like presidential candidates flipping off the opposing candidate.

none of us do.

obama cannot even buy an election.
democracy is alive-the people decide.
the fat cat elitists presidential hopeful loosers, kerry, dean, richardson, kennedy, and that pathetic peolosi etc will not decide this election the people will. and come november the fat cats can pack their bags and go home and try to explain to their constituents why they did not honor their duty to represent the people's choice. for me it is clinton or mccain. loyalty to democracy before loyalty to the party. long live democracy.

All I have to say to this is AMEN!! I would vote for..hmmmm Bush again before I would vote for BHO

Obama will NEVER win over Clinton supporters. The nastier his surrogates, supporters, bloggers, and campaign tactics become, the more determined we will be to vote for anyone other than Obama. The media rationalizes that if Obama gets the nod, Hillary's supporters will change their minds and pledge their votes to him in November. Not going to happen. Not ever.

Obama hammered 45 % out of Clinton's dynastry Political Machinery backyard. so you salute him for that..This poor youngman is a force to reckon with.he is about the past vs the future. He is a Bridge to success. Keep on voting.. yes we can and yes we will win.Finally the Business of special interest in Washington is coming to an end.Join the change train. Go OBAMA 08

I have been reading Obama's book, "The Audacity of Hope" written in 2006 and I was surprised to see that he spoke regarding this specific issue. I think this really puts it into a different context, but is nto easily encapsulated in a soundbite. I am very surprised that the press has not yet picked up on this.
