The "bitter" controversy

Obama recently remarked at a recent San Francisco fund-raiser that small-town Pennsylvania voters, bitter over their economic circumstances, “cling to guns or religion or antipathy to people who aren’t like them” as a way to explain their frustrations. Clinton has been hoping that with the Reverend Wright story not breaking Obama's momentum that she will be the one.



I hope a piano falls on her.

The more I read of that woman the more dangerous and venomous she becomes as she ducks and dives.

I find the comments rude I have giving Obama the benefit of the doubt on many things but this was uncalled for and maybe this is what he really thinks.

Obama is probably out of touch. He is probably an out-of-touch liberal as far as these people he's talking to are concerned.

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.

I’m not a fan either but Hillary playing politics that’s what they do, and I think she has got a point here for once

No, Hillary almost never has a good point. Hillary is trying to act like she's a blue collar worker. The fact that she invited a camera crew down a bar to show everyone how she drank liquor shows how blue collar she really is.

I might as well put on a skull cap and go to a Jewish temple, tell a news crew that I'll be down there before I leave, and then pray there to prove to everyone that I'm Jewish (which I'm not).

There's also nothing "elitist" about what Obama says. Elitist means favoring the elite, which Obama can hardly be in favor of doing as he proposes more taxes on the rich, while turning down donations from lobbyists. Hillary the blue collar worker on the other hand, gets $109 million from book deals and consulting with lobbyists. Real average person there.
