Obama is a caring and compassionate man. He speaks in an extremely HONEST manner. These words can sometimes be jarring to those not disposed or used to hearing the truth from politicians. But there is no doubt that some have exploited wedge issues such as guns, etc to get votes even as the economy is in the tank. Obama basically said that, but inartfully. And he's right that he could have said it better.

Obama said that rust belt people are bible totin gun lovin racists, with antipathy toward people different from themselves. he said what he meant!

Hey i was listening and watching that rally this morning live on cnn webcast. I really didn't hear that part
"He then launched into a broad explanation of what he was trying to express: “There are a whole bunch of folks in small towns in Pennsylvania, in towns right here in Indiana, in my home town in Illinois, who are bitter. They are angry… So I said, well ya know, when you’re bitter, you turn to what you can count on. So people, ya know they vote about guns or they take comfort from their faith, and their family, and their community, and they get mad about illegal immigrants who are coming over to this country, or they get frustrated about how things are changing. That’s a natural response.”
Why you have to add something else into the story?

I find it funny, that Clinton thinks with a straight face that americans will believe she is going to "fight" hard for them when her husband gets money from columbia trade deal and her chief strategist was also making money from the pending trade deal and of course the lies. No to mention the poor leadership trait "do as I say, not as I do". Obama is truly speaking to the real hurt of americans who been victims of such poor leadership from washington and no amount of spin or excerps will stop him from giving the country real change in Nov.

Anyone that can't see the despair, bitterness, and in many cases direct hatred that this country is sinking into thanks to the corrupt policies of the last 7.5 years is either blinded by their own wealth or blatently uncaring.

People all across the country are having to make horrible decisions about whether to pay the heating bill or for medicine, whether to buy food or gas, whether to pay the credit cards or the mortgage. Foreclosures and underemployment are rampant and without major changes the future is not promising.

We stuck in a never-ending war costing hundreds of billions of dollars per year and our own country's poverty rate is escalating rapidly. Our national debt is now spiraling upwards past $30,000 per U.S. citizen. I'll agree without hesitation that bitterness has crept into the daily lives of Americans. Clinton and McCain may not be witness to it with their hundreds of millions of dollars in family money, but it exists and it's spreading.

This man is so stuck on himself

I think this race has gone to his head.

Dear Barrack, take a long vacation.

“I didn’t say it was well as I could have,” Obama confessed today during a town hall in Muncie, Ind., in response to the controversy he described as a “political flare-up because I said something that everyone knows is true.”

YOU TOTAL LIAR OBAMA!!!!! There you go again, twisting words to squirm your way out of trouble...you think people are stupid?! You are not capabl of being a senator, never mind President!

GO HILLARY!!!!!

Only problem is that Obama was talking to his billionair friends to get money from them. What he did not tell you - you morons do not understand what he really means and requires third supplemental explanation- is that he is comparing his rich friends with you poor Pennsylvanian bitter citizens.

Occasionally you got to see his true color. Then, he fools you by accusing you're less intelligent than he is, not knowing what he means.

Obama said what he said....and some of us heard it. So where was the visual with these stories...remember your Tonya Harding piece on Hillary? The split photo cost her votes for sure...Ever notice how some of the media spins for Obama while giving us a visual of him looking "elegant and credible"

Obama will tell a different story every time he meets with voters...and it will be printed until he buries his original statements from the headlines.

Remember WRIGHT...What Obama actually said has already disappeared from here...now we just get spin from him describing what he said,,,and his spin is so much kinder than the truth.

THIS IS WHAT HE SAID DOES IT SOUND LIKE WHAT HE SAyS HE SAID

"You go into these small towns in Pennsylvania and, like a lot of small towns in the Midwest, the jobs have been gone now for 25 years. ... And it's not surprising then they get bitter, they cling to guns or religion or antipathy to people who aren't like them or anti-immigrant sentiment or anti-trade sentiment as a way to explain their frustrations."

Mccain and Clinton are trying to paint him as a bad guy for bringing up the truth. Why can't someone address the fact that anger and bitterness exhists? We are human, that happens, those two seem like they are trying to ignore reality, especially when they say Baraxk is out of touch. Yes because Barack made 140 mill since 2000... Wait that was the clintons, and I'm sure there are many people from PENN that made that much...

Think logically and truthfully. Its pretty easy.

So since Obama now knows that small town folk get bitter because illegal immigrants are coming to this country to take their jobs, is he still in favor of giving them drivers licenses?

Seems to me when he was running in TX, he had a different story he did not seems to feel illegals were a problem them, or that anyone in America was worried about it, but I guess his attitudes changes from state to sate.

LIAR OBAMA LIAR OBAMA

Is he going to make another speech or pass out free KOOL-AID??

Comments like 'Bitter' will sink you Mr. Obama. So what you are telling me Mr.Obama is that i am bitter because i lost my Job, i am bitter that i can't pay my bills on time, i am bitter that my children are not getting the food and healthcare they need, that i am bitter and am turning to the almighty GOD for help. WOW MR.OBAMA WOW. people like you make me SICK.

Obama showing his Racism once again:

Talking about the Typical White People of PA,
"they cling to guns or religion or antipathy to people who aren't like them or anti-immigrant sentiment or anti-trade sentiment as a way to explain their frustrations."
The only thing he can relate to is the black community. What if McCain had said the same thing about the black community?

He's trying to make it about Bitterness but that is trying to deflect from the real issue.

I think the error of these few words, just words, from Obama are not about bitterness. He and Michelle are the bitter ones and bitter people tend to think others are too.

I think he will pay for linking the bitterness to religion. I am not a religious person but my family and friends down in NC are. Their religion is a focal point of their social life and it is the exact opposite of bitter. It is a joyous, sharing and caring social life that was in fact there long before the jobs left.

Obama is telling it like it is.

The Messiah has explained himself again,enough said.

obama said he said something that everyone knows is true. What is this guy smoking? he is so full of himself, that he makes me sick. Obama is an arogant bastard. Small town PA and Indiana just went bye bye for Obama.
GO HILLARY.
