[malik flavors]

Just heard it on CNN

Not sure what exactly he's going to do.

[NJSecularist]

1. It's sad that he needs to address a truthful comment. n/t

[Texas Hill Country]

2. watch the hands!!!! WATCH THE HANDS!!! lol

:)

[tekisui]

3. He's going to blow right past this, and come out stonger on the other side,

with greater support from the bitter folks in small towns.

[Stephanie]

10. Hey, I'm in NYC and I'm bitter!

Life is FUBAR here. Every block is under construction for more LUXURY condos, while everyone else is squeezed out of housing, priced out of goods and services - hell yes, I'm bitter.

[Adelante]

22. This is going to be GREAT

They may not have known him well before in PA, but they will know all about him after this. VOTES VOTES VOTES

[AllentownJake]

4. All I know

Is whenever he has to "address something" there isn't a dry eye in the house.

[acrosstheuniverse]

9. Isn't it a little too late?

It's 8:00 pm Eastern on a Friday night. Friday news dump. It will be out of the news by Monday.

[AllentownJake]

19. Good point

The story will die by Monday.

[thevoiceofreason]

5. And it's gonna be deep, and not playable!

This is step one. Step two will be the nationally televised speech bringing this entire issue of economic terrorism by our government to the national audience.

[bigdarryl]

6. Won't help the media will still trash him hes black so he's held to a different standard

[thevoiceofreason]

12. Uh, ok, I guess

[gcomeau]

7. Can't wait.

This should be good. Watch him turn this into an opportunity for him to give another excellent instructional address to the nation with widespread media coverage and demonstrate, yet again, who is and is not the 'presidential' presidential candidate.

[ima_sinnic]

17. I agree 100%--he seems to have the Midas touch with mud that is slung at him

--the repukes (including, um, a certain DINO who's also campaigning against him) are just so conventional in their thinking, so hackish, they just don't get it: it's not politics as usual, because he isn't going to back down, go on the defensive, or be "railroaded" by their stupid attacks, he's going to use them to win the presidency of the USA.

so bring it on! GOBAMA!

[malik flavors]

8. The only bad thing about the statement was religion and guns. The rest made sense to me.

[blogslut]

11. Quick response

Man, this guy is good.

I will look forward to his speech.

[madfloridian]

13. It was a great comment.

Intelligent people have to explain themselves to our dumbed down nation.

[blonndee]

15. Very true. And flat-out liars just get to continue to lie and make excuses.

[yasmina27]

14. This is what I like about him

As soon as an attack appears, he doesn't let the dust gather under his feet. He fights back!

[jenmito]

16. Hopefully they'll carry the whole town hall on cnn.com here:

[Adelante]

25. Did you see the Situation Room today, Jen?

Jeffrey Toobin, Gloria Borgia and Jack Cafferty, all three of them, blasted Clinton for attacking Obama on this.

[jenmito]

29. Yup! I DID see it.

And I'm watching him nail the explanation right now to wild applause!

[Kber]

18. How to get major news coverage on a Friday night 101

Future campaign advisors take notes.

[Cha]

30. A DUer predicted..

this was set up! :P

[CreekDog]

20. Sounds like something John Mellencamp could've said

:shrug:

[livetohike]

21. Or Billy Joel in "Allentown"

It's what happened here in PA in the 80's. Obama understands it.

[MadBadger]

23. Hes talking about it now on CNN.com

[Coexist]

24. "of course they're bitter, of course they're frustrated"

"nobody is looking out for you, nobody is thinking about you."

This is great stuff. I can't wait for the transcript.

[Coexist]

27. "it took John McCain 3 tries to notice that the foreclosure crisis is a problem

and he says I'm out of touch".

Hitting Clinton on Bankruptcy bill - "and I'M out of touch?"

People are angry and bitter and frustrated and thats why I'm running.

Home run!

[hedgehog]

26. NAILED IT!

GOBAMA!

[gcomeau]

28. Standing ovation.

Love it. He can use this from here to November.

[ej510]

32. Hillary is getting hammered on the cnn blog over this.

I'm pleased to see that so many recognize her as the hack that she is.

[Catherine Vincent]

31. Why?

No one will be watching except some of you Obama fans.
