Clinton on Obama: 'Pennsylvanians don't need a president who looks down on them'


Hillary Clinton, jumping on Obama's San Francisco comments on the bitterness in small-town Pennsylvania during a speech in Philadelphia just now, hit Obama hard:

Clinton said she'd seen in the media that "my opponent said that the people of Pennsylvania who faced hard times are bitter."

"Well, that’s not my experience," she continued. "As I travel around Pennsylvania, I meet people who are resilient, who are optimistic, who are positive, who are rolling up their sleeves. They’re working hard every day for a better future for themseves and their children."

"Pennsylvanians don’t need a president who looks down on them. They need a president who stands up for them, who fights for them, who works hard for your futures, your jobs, and your families," she said, implicitly casting Obama as an elitist.

[Bonobo]

1. Yeah, they need a president who pedals their influence with foreign goverenments.

To the tune of $800,000 and then lies by laughing it off.

Real regular person there.

Influence peddling whore. Bill, I mean.

[Zachstar]

37. That is a big point.

She has NO room to be talking in my view with speeches fetching more than some people making in a year!

[Voice for Peace]

94. with all due respect to Hillary

she is really full of shit.

[u2spirit]

161. Well voice for peace

I was going to post something on this thread, but you summed it up nicely. Obama spoke the truth, which I guess is dangerous for a politician. That is what makes me bitter. Hillary and McCain are full of shit, but it has worked ever since I was a child so why stop now,huh.

[DemBones DemBones]

138. You can only pedal bicycles, tricycles, unicycles. eom

[Bonobo]

162. Indeed. Now you have embarrassed me. "Peddle". Thank you.

[DJ13]

2. ......says the lady worth $100 million.........

:rofl:

[blm]

3. Hillary meets LOTS of people who are completely unaware that Clintons protect the Bushes -

they always have and Hillary was set up to continue that protection into the next decade, just as Bill did for Poppy Bush throughout the 90s.

http://consortiumnews.com/2006/111106.html

Truth matters, Democrats.

[Auntie Bush]

4. Wow, what next. Someone posting some hing positive

about Hillary for a change. Thanks K&R

[azmouse]

5. She should throw her book bag for emphasis.

[Connie_Corleone]

6. Just like her ad talking about going to her summer home and having no heat.

:eyes:

[2rth2pwr]

7. This will resonate, and it fits right in to the image that is

coming together about Obama and his team.


Effete Latte Liberals

[virtualobserver]

9. the thing that resonates with me is that Hillary always takes the low road

[2rth2pwr]

33. What does this have to do with Hillary?

[virtualobserver]

59. her characterization....he wasn't looking down on them

he was explaining why he could understand their actions and feelings and how hard it is to persuade people who have been beaten down by their circumstances. He was speaking the truth that previously only Republicans refused to acknowledge. Now that Hillary has joined the club and is willing to take Obama's frank, honest speech and claim that he is looking down on them. It's one thing to lie, but it is even worse to attack someone for speaking the truth. Obama wants to reach those people...clearly Clinton just wants to manipulate them......Oooooh he's looking down on you...you should vote for me.......I think that you are all really nice. I've worked and lived around people who use that kind of tactic and as disgusting as I find it in private life.....it's even worse in a politician. The most disgusting form of pandering.

[2rth2pwr]

90. What's stomach turning is implying that the reason someone goes to church is

that they don't know any better.

[virtualobserver]

108. he didn't say that......but you gave his words that Hillary spin and Voila!

[Cha]

115. That's where she lives..she's

comfortable there.

[Tellurian]

22. Exactly, his racism and bigotry are rising to the top and as obvious as the nose on your face!

[MethuenProgressive]

39. BO to PA: "You're a bunch of worthless rednecks. Now vote for me!"

What an asshole he is.

[cali]

48. bwahahaha

and YOU running around calling Obama an asshole, love to lecture others for not posting negative things about Obama?

[rodeodance]

157. need a pillow cali

[virtualobserver]

65. HRC to PA....he's looking down on you...but I think you're smart and pretty!

So vote for me....because I think you're so gullible that you'll fall for my pandering.

[nichomachus]

42. Horse-hockey

I've lived in "small-town America" and Obama is dead on accurate. Most of the people who live in small towns know this too. They're not fools. It's Hillary who's coming across as "looking down," because she apparently doesn't know what life is really like in small towns -- and she is patronizing them.

[rodeodance]

53. people do not like to be talked down to.

[nichomachus]

62. And Hillary is the one talking down

People who live in small towns know exactly what they're like. Hillary doesn't. Her attempt to create a false reality is patronizing. The people who live there live with these things all day every day. They are not stupid.

[Ilithiad]

135. That...

...is the truth...No one likes to be spoken to in such a way...shameful

[Tellurian]

95. Hillary spent her childhood there. She know of what she speaks..

[philk17088]

124. really?

She has as much connection to PA as I do to Disneyworld

[rodeodance]

142. You look FOOLISH now--spouting off when you know NOTHING of where she

spent growing up

education yourself!!

....

eally?

[Tellurian]

168. Thanks, RD..

Obama supporters are the blind leading the blinder..

[Tellurian]

167. Really... try reading a book sometime...

[nichomachus]

129. I think Obama

was speaking of the things that have happened in the last 40 years, in the time since Hillary bundled herself off to the ivy-covered walls of Wellesley, then on to DC, the governor's mansion in Arkansas, DC again, and the posh suburbs of NYC. Believe it or not, thing have changed in small town America since the '60s.

[DogPoundPup]

66. YEA!? Speaking of Resonating Images

[TML]

86. It's the truth

Hazelton started the "no brownie zone" in their little city, and sparked the anti-immigration movement where other cities across the country think it's okay to rat out suspicious looking Latinos. Even when we're here legally for several generations.

Doesn't sound like a lie to me.

[Larkspur]

8. Hillary says, "PA needs a Prez who will continue outsourcing good paying jobs."

Hillary is such a liar and whore to corporate interests.

[Cant trust em]

10. This quote is fine. Please Sen. Clinton, keep using it out of context

of course people who face hard times are bitter. I'd be pretty bitter too if my home were getting foreclosed on and the job that I used to have is being outsourced.

[2rth2pwr]

93. If your home was being foreclosed you would then support the second amendment?

What's the connection?

[Cant trust em]

96. First off, that's why I want her to keep using it out of context

She's just talking about creating opportunity and what not. She doesn't provide any of the context you're talking about.

Secondly, I do think that the less opportunity people have for advancement, the more likely they are to put their focus on wedge issues.

[JVS]

11. Then quit helping McCain, Hillary!

[MadBadger]

12. But not hopeful...right Hillary?

[NJSecularist]

13. Say the lady who has told us that around 25 states don't count.

She is such a fucking hypocrite. She makes me sick.

[Bigleaf]

14. And people wonder why 'some' of us Obama supporters fucking hate her.

Fucking low-life, liar.

Elitist? yeah, tell us about it Mrs. $108 Million woman. Fuck off! Can't wait until your old news in a few weeks.

[anonymous171]

15. Obama needs to run with this. He needs to say "Correct. That's why I don't lie to you." then mention

snipergate.

[virtualobserver]

21. Hillary gets really uncomfortable when anyone tells the truth

They must be punished.

[scheming daemons]

131. Truth to Hillary = Garlic to a Vampire

...

[Tellurian]

28. We hope he will..

and guaranteed, you won't hear a peep out of him.

[anonymous171]

31. Shouldn't you be on hillaryis44 or reading drudge?

[golddigger]

40. Shouldn't you be on Freerepublic?

[anonymous171]

43. lol. You don't know who I'm talking to.

[rodeodance]

44. Obama folk here on DU get their talking points from the RW--they sould alike.

[TML]

89. Are you kidding me?

It's your own who talk about emailing Bill O'Reilly to advance some smear that has no basis in fact.

92. His 44 has the real "skinny" on Obama..

saves me hours of painful research. I really appreciate people who are willing to debunk and de-construct Obama's past and future campaign promises with evidentiary proof that will hold up under scrutiny.

The His44.org site is not comprised of vague accusations and innuendo. Casual accusations are not given the consideration and credence as Leftist sources are here, where the uninitiated are pressured into drinking the Kool-Aid from a free flowing tap until they get it right!

[DarienComp]

16. More cheap pandering from the Goddess.

[Zachstar]

50. I think she is trying to build news about this to divert away from Bills comment about Campaign Ads

[rodeodance]

57. The Godess of Peace smacked down Obama and his arrogance just now.

[DarienComp]

69. Are you required to misspell at least one word in each post you make or something?

[Beregond2]

17. God,

she really is shameless. As if saying someone is justifiably bitter is the same as looking down on them. Is this her persona-of-the-week, "Hillary: Woman of the People?" Oh brother.

[virtualobserver]

26. just when you think she has reached the depths, she starts work on a new subterranean tunnel

[ErinBerin84]

70. true

I've only posted here a couple of times, but I take major issue with Hillary's growing reputation as the "populist" candidate who will fight for the people. She is my senator, and her response to Tim Russert when he asked her about all of the jobs that she failed to deliver on for upstate NY was "Well, I was expecting Al Gore to be president." Come on Hillary, seriously? Of course I don't fault the loss of jobs entirely on her since the economy sucks everywhere, but couldn't she have come up with a better response than that? I also just saw the clip that has been referenced on this board from earlier today, where Hillary laughs when asked about her husband lobbying for the Colombia free trade deal. This would have been an opportune time for her to make a strong statement on the difference between her husband's policies, and her own policies. But she truly seemed at a loss for words, as if she didn't expect for anyone to ever ask her that. I keep trying to write comments replying to the article on the Huffington post that has caused this latest controversy (with some compliments, and some criticism of the article). However, my posts are not getting posted. Meanwhile, the posters who reply to every single article on the Huffington Post with "Obama has an anti-American wife and pastor" get their comments posted. It's frustrating.

[GarbagemanLB]

18. and people wonder why some of us refuse to vote for her. She fits in the GOP more than the Democra

tic party.

[TTUBatfan2008]

19. What a fucking joke...

She's the one using "I" whereas he talks about "we," meaning all of us together. She can fuck off for all I care at this point.

[rodeodance]

71. Hillary's slogan: ~~YES WE WILL~~

[bvar22]

72. Of course, you mean......

She can fuck off for all WE care at this point.
:patriot:

[City Lights]

20. No one needs a president who lectures them from the gutter, Hillary.

Use some of your millions to buy yourself a fecking clue, Hillary.

[rodeodance]

68. people of PA are recognizing obama's double talk.

[sudopod]

152. Unless Obama wins

In which case, the "people of PA" won't count. :p

[BeyondGeography]

23. She greets one caricature with another

Both candidates are making asses of themselves on this one.

[futureliveshere]

24. The people on the ground know who is speaking the TRUTH

Obama's message resonates much better as he is speaking to them after having met them and understanding their troubles. How can someone who doesnt even see the problems hope to solve it?

[Neshanic]

27. "Hi, nice to meet you ,you bitter, gun toting xenophobe Pennsylvanian."

[futureliveshere]

30. Hello, you're late.

[Neshanic]

25. They don't need one that hectors them in code either.

[Cali_Democrat]

29. Says the woman who dissed Mississippians

[Tellurian]

32. Actually, no American needs a president that looks down on them..

and our main reason for supporting Hillary!

[unblock]

34. now that's ironic. or is it oxymoronic?

you can't make a statement like "you need ..." without looking down on people.
it's condescending to tell people what they need.

[ProSense]

35. So Hillary is pretending people aren't clinging to stereotypes and looking for excuses

to justify their plight? Isn't she and her supporters claiming she is losing because she is a victim of sexism?

Instead of educating, she chooses pandering.

Hillary, the conditions Obama spoke about exists, your Bosnian snipers did not.

[MethuenProgressive]

36. Sounds like Hillary really got the DUbama's goat with this one! Go Hillary!

She's saving you from that Judas Goat, you should be thankful!
:rofl:

[DemGa]

38. Ah yes, fast response -- concise -- Go Clinton!!!

[rodeodance]

41. YOU GO HILLARY~~ SLAME DUNK ON OBAMA ARROGANCE !~~

ARROGANCE

[Indenturedebtor]

45. Hillary is a troll

n/t

[anonymous171]

46. Obama needs to attack her now. Seriously. She needs to be destroyed.

[Zachstar]

54. Calm Down, She is doing that on her own.

Obama has won many states by being steady and positive. While I was the same way after Ohio. Obama kept to the steady pace and he won 2 more states.

I feel that he is going to take it within 10 percent in PA and in later states he will also do well. Clinton will eventually exit so no need for Obama to go negative.

[anonymous171]

55. You're right.

Yeah, I was like this after TX and OH too. I just need to take a breath and remember NC and OR.

[rodeodance]

60. Obama put his foot in his mouth --all by himself!!--at a billionairs fundraising in SF. ha ha

I never heard that before.

[rodeodance]

134. Chicago "is popular with rural voters?"

what a stupid post you have--look how silly it looks just by inserting about big city--like Obama's

[Adelante]

160. You said it - "NYC is popular with rural voters"

I merely remarked I had never heard that before. Having been born and raised in NYC and lived there for 50 years, I wondered what something so opposite to my experience could mean. Your reaction is even odder than your initial claim. Rather than explain what you meant, you turned immediately insulting.

51. Really

"Pennsylvanians don’t need a president who looks down on them"

Good reason not to vote for Sen. Clinton then. Thank you Sen. Clinton for pointing that out to the voters!

[rodeodance]

63. too bad she has the stage --not you.

[Rosa Luxemburg]

61. or a president who is linked to Columbia!

[last_texas_dem]

67. They may not need one, but they're likely to get one

Give me a break, Clinton. Whether it's you, Obama, or McCain, we're going to have an elite and, to some degree, "out of touch" President. "Ordinary folks" don't win the presidency. Certainly there's a difference between Democratic and Republican presidents in terms of what they support and the degree to which it helps those just trying to get by, but to act as if you're some sort of "regular" American in contrast to Obama just reeks of insincere pandering. But oh well, whatever works for you...

[girl gone mad]

73. Pundits on CNN are tearing her apart over this.

They say it's embarrassing to her campaign and demonstrates a total lack of understanding of poverty on Clinton's part. They also pointed out that Clinton's background is much more elitist than Obama's.

[GarbagemanLB]

75. Really? Awesome!

[bigtree]

79. as if it mattered what they think

and say

[girl gone mad]

91. Cafferty is usually pretty outspoken..

Toobin, too. they don't always agree with each other, but all 3 of them agreed that Clinton looked foolish for going after him on this.

[Tropics_Dude83]

87. Mark Halperin says this is huge and has cost Obama the election on his "page"

Well not Halperin but Grover Norquist.

However, he has blasted this as his main headline and is making it seem like a major new crisis for Obama.

[Beacool]

74. She's right!!!

No one wants to be characterized this way:

And it's not surprising then they get bitter, they cling to guns or religion or antipathy toward people who aren't like them or anti-immigrant sentiment or anti-trade sentiment as a way to explain their frustrations.

I'm on my way to PA right now, let's see how this plays out over there among the "bitter & bigoted" populace.

:eyes:

[Tarheel_Dem]

103. Hillary already had that demographic all sewn up...

"bitter & bigoted".....That demo was never going to vote for Obama to begin with, because Ed Rendell said it weeks ago on my teevee. Good luck with your new strategery. And remember to "duck & cover"...... :rofl:

[CakeGrrl]

76. There she goes, appealing to the reactionary and ignorant...but unfortunately it works for her.

I'm sure Obama knows she and her campaign are looking for any way to drive a wedge issue in there even if there's no "there" there. Very sneaky and lowball and expected of her at this juncture.

[rodeodance]

81. so now PA voters are 'ignorant"!!---more arrogance!! Fish rot from the head down

There she goes, appealing to the reactionary and ignorant...but unfortunately it works for her.

'uneducated"!!







......Rural, uneducated voters are Clinton's base at this point.

[CakeGrrl]

112. If you have the true context of the statement, you are not IGNORANT of the facts

The point is, and I think you know as much, that she's relying on people to be IGNORANT of what Obama was really saying. "Talk down"? That's something you say to appeal to someone who already holds a view of 'uppity snobs'.

This needs to come back and bite her hard. Like NAFTA-and-$800,000-from-Colombia hard.

Obama needs to tell those same people for whom she's trying to gin up the elitist hate that SHE is one of the people who was all for the agreement that yanked their jobs right out from under them. Then she can laugh it off, throw her hands in the air, tell us she doesn't know what to say to that and ask about how many angels are dancing on the head of that particular pin.

[rodeodance]

143. "you are ignorant of the facts" yes you are

[kwenu]

88. Hillary is right. That's why PA shouldn't vote for her.

If Hillary can look down on all the small states as she clearly has and look down on Mississippi, a state that doesn't meet her standards, it's just a matter of time before PA does something that makes her declare them unacceptable too.

[Eric J in MN]

97. Gee, thanks a lot for helping us win in November (sarcasm).

109. I think she totally fucked up with what she said ......

Obama's comments were, first and foremost, pretty much correct. Next, they were not condescending in any way, shape, or form.

Clinton's spin on it was tortured, to say the least.

116. That's true. That's why so many Pennsylvanians are supporting Obama and why so many other

121. What kind would that be?

Hillary hasn't excluded the GLTB community or the Baby Boomers or the Elderly or the War Veterans or Health Care for all... so, just what do you mean..."Her Kind"????

122. Barack-tell them for me and keep it up please! Thanks.

I HATE her. HATE. HER.

I was trying to maintain a level of restraint, keeping my hate to her actions and her comments. But this is too much and I have to wonder what kind of person would be so ludicrous, absurd and, most importantly, low. It's despicable and so is she.

[rodeodance]

145. oh stop crying --Saddle up and stop being bitter!

they don't need a president who laughs at them after taking bribes for trade deals. They don't need a president who is a COMPULSIVE BOLD-FACE LIAR SUCH AS YOURSELF. Do us all a favor and GO AWAY.

Would you suddenly feel rich if Hillary said the ecomony was now fine?
And wealthy if Obama disagreed?
