VIDEO- Barack Obama in Steelton, PA: Responding to the bitter comment

[Levgreee]

he gets a bit heated and speaks the truth, it's a good watch

http://youtube.com/watch?v=NIxmi3e2Vmo

"so I expected this out of John McCain. But I gotta say I'm a little bit disappointed when I hear the exact same talking points coming out of my Democrat colleague Hillary Clinton. She knows better. Shame on her. Shame on her. She knows better."

"That's politics at play. I wanna see that picture of her out in the duck blind."

[K Gardner]

1. "I wanna see that picture of her out there on the duck blind.." ROFL ! GOBAMA !

Hillary dear: If you can't take the heat, get OUT of the fucking kitchen.

[AspenRose]

4. Oooh, someone's going to pounce on you for being sexist

You said "dear" and "kitchen" with regards to HRC.

Just get ready for it :-)

[gateley]

2. EXCELLENT! Thank you! nt

[K Gardner]

3. He's killin her on Columbia and Mark Penn.. he knows he has to step it up. I think he

tried to stay out of the dregs as long as he could.. but she made it impossible.

So watch it Hill.. Obama ain't laying down for your crap any longer.

[gateley]

13. I don't consider what he's doing getting into the dregs.

He's responding to her charges. She, on the other hand, is instigating attacks on him.

[SoFlaJet]

50. More and more I am impressed

with this young man-I got friggin goosebumps watching that speech. I liked to see him in that fighters stance too-you hit the nail on the head KG, he TRIED to stay positive but clearly they think he's a wimp and afraid to fight back because "she's SO tough, SUCH a fighter" how's that left hook feel on your chin tonight Clinton campaign? Here comes a barrage of jabs...

[jpkjell]

5. Yes, thank you for posting this!

I hope people who support Hillary and McSame view this.

[JimGinPA]

6. CNN Just PLayed It And John King Introduced It As Angry...

After it played he was kind of chuckling and said, "I guess you'd have to call that more sarcastic than angry."

[Levgreee]

7. yes, it was sarcasm, rather than (faux) outrage when Hillary said it. Easy to tell from the tone.

[AlinPA]

9. That King guy is a piece of S---. He should work on Fox "News".

Candy Crowley is worse. They are pushing the story then saying "how long will it be in the news?"!

[bigdarryl]

23. so if hes constently bashed on all networks hes supposed to be joyful these punfucks on TV...

are really annoying.

[stillcool]

44. they probably didn't get the clip...

exactly right. They wouldn't dare play the whole thing! :rofl:

[Arrowhead2k1]

8. Don't worry one bit about Obama guys.

This guy can handle any crap hurled at him you can imagine! Hillary underestimated him once again, she should have stayed clear of this one.

[OzarkDem]

10. I don't think its going to help him

He looks unhinged.

[Arrowhead2k1]

12. ???

You look unhinged! Obama is telling it like it is.

[gateley]

14. He looks REAL.

She doesn't come across that way.

[CakeGrrl]

29. "Oh NOES! Save me from the scary angry black man!"

Man, that's getting tired.

Reminds me of another HRC supporter wringing her hands that Michelle Obama was "unstable". :eyes:

Apparently Obama was supposed to take all the shit HRC has flung at him like a good little fool and fork over the nomination (always the ultimate goal), then the HRC supporters get all nervous when he actually gives some back.

Tough. She started this, let's see if she can actually deal with it, which I sincerely doubt.

[Diane R]

34. Someone with a Hillary avatar is talking about another candidate looking ''unhinged'? LOL.

[Catherina]

36. You need a new meme. That one's not doing too well. White Women dropping Clinton

I'm surprised (not really) you missed the bad news in jpgaz's thread

White women begin to turn away from Clinton

LEVITTOWN, Pa. — Like many women over 50, Paula Houwen was eager to vote for Hillary Clinton for president.

"I was impressed when she was first lady. She wasn't the country's trophy wife," the 56-year-old suburban Philadelphia pharmacist recalled.

Today, though, Houwen's no longer a Clinton fan.

"I do not like the way Hillary Clinton has run her campaign," she said.

Clinton's strongest core of support — white women — is beginning to erode in Pennsylvania, the site of the critical April 22 Democratic presidential primary, and a loss here could effectively end her White House run.

A Quinnipiac University survey taken April 3-6 in Pennsylvania found that Clinton's support fell 6 percentage points in a week among white women. Nationally, a Lifetime Networks poll of women found that 26 percent said they liked Clinton less now than in January, while only 15 percent said they liked her more.

42. of course he does....

to you.

[TahitiNut]

43. (Wow!) It sounds like you're benumbed from taking too many Rorschach tests.

Clue: He looks just fine. Are the voices in your head getting confusing?
:eyes:

[Starbucks Anarchist]

66. No, this is unhinged:

[saltpoint]

11. The guy in the video clip with the purple tie and the microphone?

The one doing all the talking?

I think he's the next president of the United States.

Great stuff from Stellton, Levgreee. Thanks for posting.

[K Gardner]

16. Ahoy Crusoe.. ready to set sail on the Ship Obama, headed for D.C. !!

:hi:

[saltpoint]

20. K Gardner, howdy to ya and happy springtime.

Obama has just soared over the crap and spoken like a president this winter.

She's a compelling figure in many ways but she just isn't in his league.


:hi:

[PM7nj]

15. I think he has had it with her.

I know I have!

[Levgreee]

17. I think he truly prides himself at listening to people and being in touch with him

the elitist claim offended him

[K Gardner]

18. LOL.. what was your first clue? Mine was Annie Oakley and the Duck Blind :-)

[PM7nj]

27. That was hilarious.

I can't wait for the next debate. It's going to be a good one.

[madrchsod]

28. six shooter in the duck blind? opps!

[gateley]

19. Has this been posted in political videos? nt

[Levgreee]

dunno

[gateley]

37. SELF DELETE (it's been posted). nt

[ElsewheresDaughter]

21. I don't know why the media and others are focusing so much on the "bitter" part. .....

The real offense and long term damage is "...and 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."

The implication is that small town America is primarily populated by ignorant bigots.

[Willo]

25. He knocked that out the park in 2004 and tonite on the Compassion Forum.

[saltpoint]

31. As the video clip plainly demonstrates, the segment you quote isn't the

key component at all.

Your conclusion in the last line is absurd.

You know, ED, at some point or other you are going to have to read all future historians' analysis of this nomination race, and the points raised against Mrs. Clinton here and on other sites are going to be quite demonstrably verifiable, despite your foot-stomping, breath-holding pretentions to the contrary.

[SoFlaJet]

51. Damn OC

talk about an owning there-and you did it without being an asshole or mean in any way. I'm friggin impressed-very Obamaesque

[Tarheel_Dem]

58. that's what we love about OC. She is one smart cookie, and one

hell of a decent human being. I never cease to be impressed at how artfully she consistently slays the dragons. I wish I had an ounce of her finesse.

[SoFlaJet]

61. yea I had to start putting people on ignore

because I almost got myself tombstoned for just telling people FUCK YOU, and they'd keep on me and I'd keep saying no, FUCK you...it's so much easier to NOT read what some of the biggest jerkoffs here at DU are saying...Hi MM, OMC, and LinVa

[Tarheel_Dem]

63. Looks as if we share those mentioned in common......

I haven't heard a word they've said for months, and I don't miss them one bit. I just checked my ignore list, and the place looks like a graveyard. I'll be glad when these damned primaries are over.

[SoFlaJet]

67. my blood pressure

appreciates the ignore feature here-it comes to a point where it's no fun having people tell you how stoopid you are in every thread-it's not like I DON'T know already-my wife is pretty good at reminding ME of that flaw...just like Michelle does to Barack

[Tarheel_Dem]

68. LMAO....Michelle is so folksy and unpretentious. I love her.

:hi:

[Tarheel_Dem]

65. self delete dupe

[Scurrilous]

22. K & R

:thumbsup:

[kid a]

24. Great video - He's fired up - great small venue.

[madrchsod]

26. " hillary knows that "

he`d make a great trial lawyer...

[shadowknows69]

30. Wow, the O man a bit fired up. I like it!!

[Upton]

32. One word to describe Obama--impressive

[Zachstar]

49. I think that is the correct word.

BTW Think about this. The repubs have been talking about how "Oh Obama is just a movie star, He is weak and wont act if the boogieman appears.

Well guess what republican idiots. Nobody is going to fuck with America with this man as president. Because you arent just going to be facing one military. But the entire world.

Hes going to get the military back together. He is going to rebuild it with logical stands and logical technology.

And with the rebuilding of the military into a defensive one. We will get our stance back with the world. And when it is time to have tough talk with China, and North Korea, and Iran. Obama is not going to fiddle fart around. He is going to be in their face and calling their shit. No fucking violence or useless sanctions needed.

I am so happy that he is Calling Clinton/McCain's shit instead of sidestepping it. Hang in there everyone because bittergate is about to turn on Clinton!

[jenmito]

33. Good article on Yahoo homepage titled, "Obama turns tables on Clinton"

http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20080414/ap_on_el_pr/obama

[SoFlaJet]

53. You see this Jen? A nice try at projection by the CC-accuse your opponent of what you're doing

The Clinton campaign issued a quick retort to Obama's comments.

"For months, Barack Obama and his campaign have relentlessly attacked Hillary Clinton's character and integrity by using Republican talking points from the 1990s," said spokesman Phil Singer. "The shame is his. Senator Clinton does know better — she knows better than to condescend and talk down to voters like Senator Obama did."

[Radical Activist]

35. This is just like her dishonest spin about his Reagan remark.

She does know better. I'm tired of her lying and manipulating people.

[Tatiana]

38. HUUUUUUUUUUUGE K&R.

"Now I am the first to admit that some of the words I chose, I chose badly because, as my wife reminds me, I am not perfect."

"So I am not a perfect man and the words I chose, I chose badly. They were subject to misinterpretation, they were subject to be twisted." (Woman in audience says "we know that!")

"And what really burns me up is when people suggest that me saying that folks are mad, they are angry, they are bitter after 25, 30 years of seeing jobs shipped out, pensions not fulfilled, health care lost... the notion that people are surprised and are suggesting that I am out of touch because I spoke honestly about people's frustrations... that tells me there's some politics going on."

"Here's a guy, it took him three tries before he actually came up with a plan to deal with the millions of people who are about to lose their homes because of foreclosure, who wants to perpetuate the Bush tax cuts for the wealthiest Americans while ordinary folks are struggling to pay the gas bill and the light bill and gas at the pump and he's saying I'm out of touch? Do you think I'm out of touch or he's out of touch?"

"So I expected this out of John McCain. But I've got to say, I'm a little disappointed when I start hearing the exact same talking points coming out of my Democratic colleague Hillary Clinton. She knows better. She knows better, shame on her. Shame on her! She knows better! She's running around talking about how this is an insult to sportsmen, how she values the second amendment, she's talking like she's Annie Oakley." (Laughter)

BWAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! OH I *LOVE* THIS!

[jpkjell]

46. Wonderful Thread! How can anyone

not love Obama's honesty and candor, both about Americans who lost jobs, healthcare, and their future, but is honest about himself!!!

He admitted he mis-spoke, but he never lied about his life like Hillary does.

[SoFlaJet]

54. welcome to DU

jpkjell

[Tatiana]

55. I know, right? I certainly appreciate his candor and honesty. BTW, WELCOME to DU!

:hi:

[bleever]

39. "Annie Oakley".

Damn, he's good.

[Willo]

40. Why oh why

would you force a basketball-playing-brother-from-the-hoods-of-Chicago, to hafta go there.

Hillary, have you not played team sports?
Have you not watched VH-1, MTV or WWF?
Have you not heard of "playing the dozens?"
Are you so out of touch?

[usregimechange]

41. Kick!!! r

[malik flavors]

45. He just flipped the script right before the week got started. Monday morning he's on the offense.

[cooolandrew]

47. Sen.Obama so rocked in that clip had to watch it twice.

[ericgtr]

48. I love Obama but like the side of him that shows he's above it better

Not that Hillary doesn't deserve every last word of that though.

[blonndee]

52. Wow--I'm so glad I clicked on the link.

The tone says it all. ONE of our candidates is bringing it. The mixture of humor and rightful criticism is spot on. And unlike Clinton, he's able to criticize and defend himself WITHOUT lying about his opponent and without getting all pissy and faux-outraged.

He continues to amaze me with his mad skillz and his big brain.

[Renaissance Man]

56. LOL

"She's talkin' like she's in a duck blind.. She's packin' a six shooter!"

LOL

[Tatiana]

57. OK, I watched it again. Because it was *that* satisfying and good. n/t

[Yael]

59. This is his BEST ever

This is almost to John Edwards standards.

:applause:

[kentuck]

60. kick ass.

He appears very confident and at ease in front of these US Steelworkers Union.

[meow mix]

62. K&R

[Marie26]

64. He sounds defensive.

He should've just clarified the comment & assured voters that he doesn't think PA voters are xenophobic gun nuts. Instead he just seems to try to throw it back on Clinton w/o addressing the substance of his remarks at all, really.
