Hillary Clinton's Beautiful Mind
Do you people remember Barbara Bush's quote: "Why should we hear about body bags and deaths? It's not relevant. So why should I waste my beautiful mind on something like that?"

Instead of "body bags and death", it is the bitterness of small-town Americans. Hillary claims that there is no bitterness out there. I guess she is just not wasting her beautiful mind on something like that. Now that is what I would call elitist.

2. A lot of people picked up on his...
miscue before Hillary even started to talk about it. If you think that I'm wrong, than why did Obama apologize on how he worded the comment? :shrug:

3. If you ever lived in Pa, you know that what Obama said was true.......
the way he said it might not have been prudent, but the truth often hurts and it doesn't help to pretend like it doesn't exist. Hillary wants to stick her head in the sand and pretend like people aren't bitter.

After 8 years of Bush, and you're not bitter, then I question how much of a Democrat you really are.

10. I live in the state just west of you.
Am I bitter at the present administration? Sure. What Democrat wouldn't be? But not the very same bitterness that Mr. Obama alludes to and later apologizes for.

I'll tell you what. If both candidates don't start to think before they move their traps, we're going to see a replay of the present administration for 2009. :eyes: :shrug:

6. Sure, its not just this recent 'bitter' stuff. It's an add-on to Michelle's "lazy, complacent...
"... America"; the dismissive, snarky tack his 'face people' have on TV when talking down to America. None of us can do anything right. Only he and his 'people' are capable of such things.

8. You're absolutely right! A whole lot of people picked up on this before Hillary.
Here's the short list:

Rush Limbaugh
Sean Hannity
Grover Norquist*
George Will
Lionel Chenywld

Who else you got, Donkeykick? Reagan from the grave? What's Henry Kissinger's take? I'm dying to find out what Karl Rove thinks. I'm sure when HillaryLand emails you guys the links from Washington Times and NewsMax, you'll send them right over.

*my personal favorite, thusfar.

11. And I'll tell you what.
Why don't you go blame the messenger instead of the people who heard it?

Like I was telling another person in this thread earlier: if our Democratic candidates (take note that I meant that word as plural, too!) do not start to think before they open their traps, we're going to be in store for Dubya II for 2009.

7. And Hillary being the top 1/10th of 1% income bracket isn't elitist?
