Make sure you hold the golden child accountable for his actions too.
He said she is "acting like she's Annie Oakley" and that is in rebuttal to the personal attacks and her trying to paint herself as a church going gun toting American. Yet when asked when was the last time she went to church or fired a gun, she said "that's irrelevant".

He didn't initiate it. The man has held his tongue far too much in this campaign and he needs to defend himself, especially when a hypocrite such as Hillary attempts to smear his integrity

I'll admit that Obama has done a GREAT job of limiting himself against personal attacks, but I would be more impressed if he hadn't made the Annie Oakley comment because it would show that no matter what, he won't play that game. Now we know he is just as willing, it just hasn't come out until now.

What pisses me off is Hillary seizing on this. Hillary is such a blue collar worker with blue color background that she pulled in $109 million in 10 years and she was a lawyer and wife to a governor and President. Wow, that's really blue collar. Then she goes into a bar and takes a few shots. Yeah, everytime I go into a bar it's because I want to attack my opponent and I always bring a camera crew and some politicians with me. Definitely genuine blue collar background there.

I hate Hillary. That's my only point here.
Wait, you expect a politician to not play politics with something like this? These people dont care where they came from, if their opponent says something to the like of which Obama just said they are gonna be all over it like "white on rice, on a paper plate, in a snow storm" to quote Major Payne.

This is politics, this aint debate class in junior high where nice rules apply. McCain and Clinton should both be all over this guy. Hell he isnt to far off the mark of good old Howard Dean and his remarks about pickup trucks, with gunracks and voting on God and religion. It is basically in the same category, these people are unhinged.

I cant figure out if the psychoward in Gotham let out all the nutjobs or if these people really think this way.

Doesnt Obama go to church too? His comments mean either he goes to church simply for the PR reasons behind it or he is just an idiot b/c he just degraded himself otherwise b/c he goes to church too.

I dont know which one it is, but it is insane the way this whole retarded campaign season is unfolding.

We got McCain saying he wont go after anybody(like politics is some sterilized thing), we got Obama & his wife denegrating the USA, we got Billary talking about dodging and weaving sniper bullets in unknown territory, I just think whoever is running Saturday Night Live should have an all time record in viewership right now with the amount of comedy coming out of these 3 scumbags (I dont know the feminine word for scumbag so...)

I do have a problem with what Obama said, and that is even though I agree that Hillary is a complete phony it is a fair statement to after him on. He did make it sound like he was in some redneck smell towns and that was rude. Not to mention he made it seams like people go to their guns and religion only when their mad

What about the author of the book "What's Wrong With Kansas?". He made the statement about folks being bitter.

I can't say that I see a lot of consistency in your comments. On the one hand you bemoan American politics as insane, but on the other hand you appear to be defending Clinton's tactics. I'd have to know which position you hold before arguing against one.
