Thanks to the Clintons and NAFTA, they should be bitter about their job losses. Hillary is playing with words and grasping at straws.

Pennsylvanians can be bitter and still be resilient! And I don't think that Obama was looking down on them. I think he was empathizing with them.

Is HRC so desperate that she has to start a fight over nothing?

She is the one who is bitter!

All is she saying is that "the people are happy to be s c r e w e d"

Well, Hillary he used the wrong freggin word. Let it go.
Please leave. Please

That's right Hillary…cling on to every crumb that you can to maintain a sense of relevance. As someone who has been in the position to which Obama refers to, I have been very bitter. Of course, since your household has made over 100 million these past few years, you have no sense of what real working people actually feel!!!

Hillary.. you're just pathetic..
you're holding on to straws.. as far as I'm concerned, you're now bankrupt on the respect front… you should just go away because the longer you drag this on, the more you're showing that all you care about is YOU… you're the only thing that matter in the world..

1. I love how Lou Dobbs can barely break 50% on his push poll

Do you believe that Senator Barack Obama's comments reveal his elitist attitude toward every hardworking American?
Yes 50% 11913
No 50% 11900
Total Votes: 23813


:rofl:

2. Wow. A lot of those comments are from women, too.

Makes me smile. :)

4. yeah, I don't get women supporting her blindly

She is not a good role model. Sorry. Someone has to say it.

This 58 year old woman is supporting Obama. Mostly because of the horrid things she has done.

5. I think there will be backlash to this that she hasn't foreseen.

Obama did something that not a lot of politicians are able to do...and this isn't the first time he's done it either.

When faced with a highly charged racial issue he confronted it head on, silenced all but his most fanatical critics, and walked away the better man and better candidate.

Now he has told Pennsylvanians a blunt truth--and no, Hillary people, he didn't insult them, whatever you may think. He realizes they're not happy. They are bitter because they're getting screwed economically--so wedge issues like gun control and abortion end up ruling the day.

Once again, Hillary and McAngry backers are angry and surprised because once again Obama has surprised them by telling the awful truth rather than some weak-assed spin.

6. Elitism is thinking your audience is dumb enough to go for more bullshit.
