I think this so-called mis-step is great for Obama....

[Roxy66]

He is so good at explaining himself....this gives him an opening to hit reality out of the park. People ARE bitter you stupid MSM pundits...

[K Gardner]

1. I feel another SPEECH coming on... :-)

[MercutioATC]

2. ...maybe some more free airtime to address economic hardship in America?

I really don't believe he calculates like that but if he did he couldn't be doing a better job.


Speaking an unpopular truth or speaking a popular lie? I know which I'd choose.

3. How does he "explain" why he thinks working folks in small town are stupid bigots?

People are angry--most people are not bigots. Obama must have a warped view since he attended a bigoted church for two decades. Rev. Wright and his flock do not represent America.

4. Do you really want to know?

Or would you rather drive deeper the wedges that divide us?

[jackson_dem]

7. Ironic coming from a supporter of a bigot who went to a bigoted church for two decades...

...and gave a bigot 30 minutes to spew his filth at a campaign event.

[blogslut]

9. More wedges

I take you don't care about bringing people together at all. You just want to pick sides and pick apart people until there's nothing left.

Us versus Them

What a sad outlook on life you have.

[Roxy66]

5. Did he actually say "bigots"?

[jackson_dem]

6. He didn't have to say it directly. Did Lott directly say he believed in segregation?

[Joe the Revelator]

10. There's jackson, playing the same silly games with his dopey schtick

Did he ever say bigot? Did he?

17. People engaging in behaviour like yours...

...is why we have been chronically incapable of having intelligent political discussions in this country at any high public level. Thank you so much for your contribution.

8. They are playing the statement without the context, I don't think it's a mis-step and stupid ass'd..

...Hillary is going after him not thinking that her support of NAFTA helped those people become bitter.

[CoffeeCat]

11. I totally agree with that...

Let the political velociraptors attack and slice away at Obama--while they foam at the mouth
and take his comments out of context.

Let them reveal themselves for the vacuous, attack mongers they are.

Then Obama will step up to the microphone, re-state what he said and clarify his views eloquently
and in ways that people will find uplifting and encouraging.

Then, the velociraptors will look like idiots.

I'm wondering if Obama orchestrated this.

[Window]

12. Yep.

[oviedodem]

13. He f****d up this one and I am an ARDENT Obama but he will

lose PA because of this and it may be a HUGE gap!!

He finally said something really really stupid.

[oviedodem]

14. I am so annoyed all he had to do was shut up and let the weekend with Bosnia

resonate.

Maybe he is an idiot.

Both Hillary and Obama can't shut the f**k up.

[uponit7771]

16. WHAT!! What was stupid!! He said people are bitter because of GOVERNMENT! They are TOTALLY taking ..

...his statement out of context.

Even KO and Tweety are acknowledging that

[oviedodem]

18. It does not sound right!!! Even I know it is true but he is dealing with a country that

can't deal with nuanced or truthful comments!

S**t!!

[Cha]

19. Oh be quiet.. you're not

an Obama supporter so quit lying like hilary.

[oviedodem]

20. I am that is why I am upset.

[Cha]

21. Obama supporters have weathered a lot and he's

the real deal so there is no reason to be upset..have some confidence in our candidate. Obama turns the m$$$m harrassement into a national discussion.

[thevoiceofreason]

15. It's gonna be deep, and not playable.
