wow, just like that?

And who is Bayh?

Hillary is so far behind she'll do anything to trash Barack Obama

Hi All,

Yes, I'm a voter from Pennsylvania.

I AM frustrated that politicians have been ineffective in helping the populace.

I AM angry that entrenched politicians like Gov Rendell are more interested in playing political games than in effecting change.

I AM BITTER that the fools who run for office say whatever they need to to get elected, and do nothing after the election.

It is time for a change.

Don't harangue Obama for speaking the TRUTH as he sees it. That will certainly NOT get you my vote.

Really? The Super delegates should throw out the national contests because he described jobless frustrated people as bitter?

I am bitter, he's right.

This campaign is getting silly and my respect for Hillary has taken a nose dive these past few months.

you have got to be joking…

This is all they have on Obama, one remark that unemployed people might be bitter.

Meanwhile, Hilary tells outright lies and her Husband takes $50 million in bribes and…..

…we're not supposed to notice?

This country is messed up…

All I would have to say to that is - Don't you think the Republican's would have a field day with the "serial fibber" Clinton? There is more than enough ammo out there already, and that is just what we know!

As a former Pennsylvanian I lost my job, filed bankruptcy, was foreclosed on, and had to appeal for my unemployment to finally get it 4 months after I initially filed.

To say I was bitter is an understatement to the magnitude of “When Hurricane Katrina hit New Orleans it sure was wet outside!” I’m just glad there’s a presidential candidate who is not afraid to tell it straight. To have someone like Clinton or McCain blowing smoke up my butt and tell me it’s a cloud with a silver lining just stokes fuel to my fire.

People cling to their guns partly in anger because of facts like the 2nd amendment is repeatedly threatened by people like them, cling to their religion and go to their churches to pray partly in anger because the cries to their government have repeatedly fallen of deaf ears. These are facts that grownups tell to other grown ups. I used my gun to put meat on the table while there was no income coming in, and prayed for work when I didn’t think there was any coming. I was angry about jobs going overseas, and illegal immigrants taking jobs from starving Americans. McCain and Clinton just don’t get it, and now she is so desperate to win, she sets this thing up with the blogger and tape recorder. Then McCain jumps right on the Clinton Sunshine bandwagon. It sickens me to see for opposing parties how much alike they can be!

People are pissed off, and there’s plenty of blame to go around. I can’t tell you the number of times I’ve heard “The snipers shouldn’t have missed in Bosnia!” or “Can’t Cheney take Bush on a hunting trip sometime?!” or “The Zuni rocket hit the wrong plane on the Forrestal!” or “An American hating Black man won’t last a day in the White House!” There’s a lot of anger in America today, and job losses, record oil prices, record gas prices, a recession, and a stock market being supported by the US Government’s main bank is doing nothing but throwing gas on the fire.

On the positive side, I’ve heard more people say that at least there is one candidate who is willing to inspire while being realistic without flip-flopping. That man is Senator Obama. He has sparked hope, and hit the issues head on. That is what grown up Americans are looking for, a refreshing change from a realist not an elitist. So he had to explain it to “Latte sipping elitists” in a manner that they can fathom. Does that make him less of a candidate or more??? I say more!

I appreciate him keeping it real, and I hope he doesn’t cave in and apologize for anything he said. As one of the small town Americans that fit into his description, I say “Tell it like it is!”

OBAMA ‘08

Superdelegates must take note of this slur by Sen. Obama. He has insulted the very people Democrats need in order to win in Nov. While people are bitter about the economy, that does not make them drug-using, gun toting bigots who use religion in a negative way. It is shocking that a mainstream candidate would make such an outrageous comment. Obama is unelectable in Nov.

Ah, so this is what it boils down to, Superdelegates. Hillary is so, so sick. Pennsylvanians, please send her away with her head between her legs crying. She does not deserve your votes!

Hillary and her followers: blah blah blah

OMG i am so sick of the Clinton campaign pouncing at every single thing you guys are like a pack of hungry wolves enough already

Yeah and the Bosnia lies arent going to be used. And the NAFTA flip-flop isnt going to be used. If Al Gore was a serial fibber, we're gonna have to come up with new language to be able to describe how often Hillary lies.

Hillary Clinton– we are sick of you and your twisted words.

Sorry that Obama is speaking the truth, which is something Hillary doesn't do to often. There is absolutely NOTHING wrong with what he said, you are just trying to get some media coverage of your sinking campaign!! YOU CANT WIN HILLARY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Obama Richardson 08!!!

They should also consider Bosnia, Mark Penn, Bill Clinton suspicious businesses, Peter Paul, Travel gate, pastor wright, and everything…

I think it's very disingenious to suggest that the Republicans have so much they can use against an Obama candidancy and nothing against a Clinton candidancy. Who has more baggage and fodder than the Clintons. Let's stop this "win at any cost" doctrine.

The reality of the situation is people ARE frustrated. People ARE angry. And anyone that doesn't believe and recognize that is just plain ignorant. Stop the political bull. Enough is enough!

I wish the Clinton campaign would stop trying to muddy the waters every chance they can get. They can try to worsen Obama's chances for election, but he will be the Democratic nominee, and he will win!!!

Accept it, people are ready for change.

I think every one should cool it. Let voters decide if Obama offended them.

So Bayh basically agrees with Obama, but if you take a certain (mis)interpretation of Obama's words it can sound as though it is not completely accurate. Huh?

What's clear is that Bayh agrees with Obama but can't say it because he's a Hillary supporter.

America will wake up someday. They will find out who O.B. really is. He dont care about us ,just our votes. He showed that when New Orleans took a back seat. Hrc is our only true canidate that has shown time after time how much she cared for us. She fights hard to keep making things right for us.O.B. is just in this race for himself ,and making history.

Where was this Media and Public outrage concerning Mark Penn. This is unbelievable.

Yes, I AM…. bitter. Yes, I AM… frustrated. Yes, I AM voting for Obama.

Thanks for being the voice of ALL Americans. How do you describe your feeling on the economy.

Optimistic… Positive… This is the kind of media spin that leave the USA year after year and decade after decade in complacency.

Todd In farmcountry Pennsylvania April 12th, 2008 12:38 pm ET
Your comment is awaiting moderation.
What Obama is saying, is that Pennsylvanians, similar to myself, who group up in central PA have seen a generation of legislators claim there support for us during election cycles, and go to Washington only to throw those promises out the window. Do we get bitter at that … YES .. The second half of the comment is very true as well. When you take economic agendas off the table, what is there. Well, you fall back on your sense of religious values to determine your voting alignment. I am An Evangelical Christian who grew up in the NRA. So by default, I am a Republican.. RIGHT?! (scratching head at this logic) I actually had a so-called friend of mine call my wife a baby killer, because we dared to mention that we were listening to Obama, and were going to start suppporting him. ONE ISSUE defined his political makeup.. nothing else. OBAMA IS DEAD ON.. and as for the Clinton's yes they are part of that same generation of leaders (and no I don't mean age I mean a time frame in politics) that supported big business over "WE THE PEOPLE" … hopefully people aren't offended by my caps, but they were thoughtfully placed…

May God bless Obama's campaign!

“The far right wing has a very good track record of using things like this relentlessly against our candidates".

I guest Hillary is to the far right. Need I say more.

Dare to publish CNN.

I cant believe Hillary, she will say or do anything to take the focus off of herself. He was telling the truth, but you will never know because you have 109 million

Too litlle too late. Most of the superdelegates are just waiting to get some more states to vote in order to back Obama. They just did not want to appear as if they did not listen to the will of the voters. Once again, Clinton, instead of elevating the debate and talking about workers' frustration, sinks to the lowest level available. Ready for cheap shots on day one.

Clinton/Bayh '08…period!

Well they must consider her Bosnia LIE!

Sen. Bayh, I think BOSNIA, NAFTA, COLOMBIA, and other issues that I will not mention (you know them) are worse fodder for the Republican party to use if Clinton is the nominee. She's already termed "serial fibber" and Reps are relishing a Clinton win in the Dem primary.

Absolutely. Obama will never win in November. The superdelegates must finally stop rallying behind this sham of a candidate. He has insulted so many people with his comments. Hillary is the only democrat that can win in Nov. She can win the vital swing states that Democrats need (Ohio, Tennessee, Arkansas, Florida, MI, NH, NM, PA… in Nov.

Please superdelegates pick the candidate who can actually win in Nov — Sen. Hillary Clinton.

Sounds like the middle schoolers are not happy again and are striking out. Grow up Clinton.

This is just the first of many dumb things Obama will say. The Republicans will eat him alive. He doesn't have enough experience. All he's good at is speeches that are planned ahead of time.

If you want a Democrat in the WH, you better vote for Hillary!

Puerto Rico for Hillary! Latinos for Hillary!

OH MY GOD!

These Clinton people are INSANE & UTTERLY RIDICULOUS!

I'd love to hear what Senator Evan Bayh thinks the Republicans will do with Hillary's Bosnia flap, Hillary's Colombia flap, HIllary's NAFTA flap, HIllary's Iraq War Vote flap….and the drama of the Bill Clinton Administration flaps??

I'd love to hear what he thinks the Superdelegates should do about all of Hillary's blunders??

Senator Bayh is such a blow-hard!

Senator Bayh is afraid the Republicans would portray Senator Obama as a "serial fibber"? What about Senator Clinton, sir? She puts all fibbers to shame!!!

If Bayh is talking to supers about Barack, Obama supporters should let supers know how concerned we are that a SERIAL LIAR LIKE HRC get the nomination.

Senator Bayh better get with the program. It's people like him who have ruined this country. Obama speaks the truth. I am bitter that our tax money continues to go to this unwinnable war while our own country is falling apart. I am bitter that this government does nothing to stop the flow of illegal immigrants. I am bitter that illegals are treated better than we Americans. I have no bitter feelings toward immigrants that come into this country legally, so don't say I'm racist. I want better schools, better health care etc. and I won't have any of this,nor will my grandchildren until this government wakes up.

I think we need to get back to issues here. I will say that Hillary does have some real solutions for the country on all fronts. Alot of people have a personal thing against her claiming she is a liar, or sneaky, etc. Who in politics is free from how politics work in this country??? She has a proven track record and any mud there is on her has been public knowledge for some time.

She will be the strong leader this country needs!

There are still unanswered questions on Obama-people keep getting upset that the Rev Wright issue is raised but we never really got strong answers on why Obama would stay with that pastor when his views are so anti-American and racially divisive. I think Obama would be a good president in say 2016 after Hillary has a run, but he needs more time in the public eye and more experience handling all the issues we are faced with as a country.

Hillary08

Right on!!!

OMG!!!!!!!! I feel like I am in twilight zone!!!!!!!!!!!

So "the rigt wing" won`t use Clitons persistent lying against her? This is patethic and desperat from the Clinton campaign.

Superdelegates needs to consider many things either than just one remark word "bitter". It is true many of us are bitter especially about the war which Sen. Hillary voted for which utimately gave president Bush the right to invade Iraq for not good reason. NAFA which President Clinton signed for and she supported it,. Most importantly, creditability, trust which is a big issue with the Clintons.
She needs to make a big deal about bigger issues concerning the common peopole not about some stupid word which is how some of us are actually feeling at this point.

…but it is not a 'real potential problem' that Senator Bayh is promoting as the Democratic nominee a candidate who is behind in pledged delegates, states won, popular vote, and the polls? Is it not a 'potential problem' that Senator Bayh's candidate has lied (oh, sorry - misstated) repeatedly, and has changed her public positions on issues depending on how they will play politically?

Nice try.Again. I admire Senator Clinton's tenacity. In proving to Americans that her goal is not about what is best for America, or the Democratic party, but her self, she has made Barack Obama a better canddiate for the general election.

oh please this is so crazy i think the republicans will even use the bosnia story worse than this one oh please stop right there clintons can do anything to win this nomination the lies she said about the bosnia story are even worse she better be carefull this might even backfire to her obama is telling the truth we are bitter about the way this country is going so carefull hillary, superdelegates should know what they are doing because clinton cant win against mccain she has a lot of bagage behind her those superdalegates are smart enough to know that this story she is coming up with wont work no matter what she says she can do anything to destroy the party stop stop stop her now you superdelegates what are you waiting for

I'm a bit more than bitter. Can Hillary find better reasoning? Does she really need to put us in a situation where we are to comment on this cheap thing. I think she could try to be a little creative to find out a few burning issues that are going through our minds. She cannot do it, because Clintons are out of touch.

I think the super delegates should also consider, White Water, Travel Gate, Bill's Sex Scandal, How Vince Foster Died, and why Bill Clinton is being sued for fraud. The super delegates should also remember how the Clinton's scandalize the white house. But it will be the American people who decides we don't want them, and show them the door one last final time.

Hilary "mis-speaks" so often—- that I don't see why this comment by Obama is even an issue. Have you nothing better to report on? I don't want my time wasted with this dribble. There are too many REAL important issues to consider.

The Superdelegates do need to consider every "bitter" remark………………..from the Clintons.

Shes right. They should consider the fact that alot of americans are bitter with the way things are going and the fact that Sen. Obama addressed this head on instead of going out and lying about sniper fire and someone dying because of lack of health care just to get votes.

If Republicans were able to turn Gore into a "Serial Fibber", what are they going to do to Hillary? I don't buy his argument. I honestly think that people who have lost jobs, lost homes, and feel the government has lost touch are indeed bitter. To not think so seems more elitist to me.

And superdelegates need to consider the reccurring Bosnia lie.

What Obama said was true, people ARE bitter. Who wouldn't be?

wow evan baye, you dont' admit that the common man is bitter because the economy has fail him, he has no health care, he works 9 to 5,40 hours a week for the last 23 years and now his house is being forclosed. You don't think that is bitter? Wake up Mr. You are a fraud

Hillary Clinton give me a break. Is this the same Hillary who turn up her nose at the state of mississippi? Is this the same Hillary who didnt think certain states were important enough when the campaign began to build an organization to communicate to the voters of those states? Is this the same Hillary who turned her back on the people of Arkansa to move to New York to plot her way back to the White House from a higher media profile state? Elitist, you are the epitome of the word. I will also add opportunist and disingenuous to describe you.

Telling lies (Bosnia) and doing anything (crying) to get back to the white house even destroying the democratic party for your personal power ambitions. Get a grip.

The article says hinting and fishing not hunting and fishing?

Interesting hinting at hunting and fishing for fishing?

Ido agree with Hillary Super deligates should consider the BITTER remare. They shoul consider rather we as poor workers have the right to be BITTER because of our goverment over the past 15 years sending our companies over seas. Over trade agreement sign into law which eleminate jobs. Tell the super deligate Many poor and Blue collar workers are MAD AS HELL AND WE ARE NOT TAKING IT ANY MORE.

If the republicans managed to turn John Kerry and Al Gore into jokes….I really hate to see what will happen to Obama.

Superdelegates will have to consider this big time.

Go Hillary 08

They also need to consider everything negative Hillary and Bill brings to the table.

Whatever. This woman is crazy. I'm bitter as hell and don't want to take it anymore. I'm bitter because the government sits by whiel I am paying almost 4 dollars a gallon for gas and everything is getting more expensive. Hillary, go away. I think you're out of touch with us. You voted for war which has drowned our economy at home.

You are a liar and I will never vote for you.

P.S. I am a white woman who brings hom less than 30 grand a year.

I am appalled that the Clinton campaign is now using scare tactics and fear to woo superdelegates…

THIS LIFELONG DEMOCRAT WILL NEVER EVER VOTE FOR BILLARY!!!!!

It's time for the 230,000 American people who lost thier jobs since January to Hillary und McCain, how happy they are to loose thier jobs…?

If he's sincerely worried about a candidate being labeled a serious fibber, he needs to look no further than the candidate he supports.

Hey Evan, do you think the Republicans will overlook a history of lies and scandal if Billary should get the nomination?

Find a real issue. Bickering about this sort of thing just hurts the democratic party.

Evan Bayh just wants to be Hillary Clinton's VP.

every body knows what he (Obama) said is true. this politic games makes me feel puke.

See!!!! By any means necessary! That is ridiculous!

There's nothing to think about, Bayh. There's nothing controversial, Barack was totally accurate about what he said. Who let you in, Bayh? Clinton spin machine is hard at work today.

Dear Sen. Evan Bayh, GET A LIFE!!

That's right Senator Bayh!!!

Go Hillary '08!!!

Let it go - is this the best thing Hillary has to hold on to? Give me a break. If anyone is bitter, its her.

Clintomaniacs are truly desperate…

Nice try Bayh!

here's what I think. Obama had it right the first time.
Obama for President!

Wait a second. A Clinton supporter is worried about the Republicans using this statement to make Obama look something like a "serial fibber?" If that's the case, I shudder to think what they could do with the mound of ammunition Clinton would provide.

Senator Bayh's comment are typically childish, and do not make any sense at all.
Sen Bayh!
How old are you?

They should consider Rev Wrights and the bitter comment,and give the nomination to Hillary .

I strongly agree with you.

Why doesn't somebody ask some one who lives in a small town if he or she is bitter and cynical about elitist politicians like Hillary Clinton or Even Bayh saying "folks" who live in small towns aren't bitter and cynical.

Um, and the Republicans won't make anything of Hillary's compulsive lying? Okay then…

just shut up

This Sen aint going to be voted again for also turning his back on the truth!!..Another god believer with a twist..

People, please stop letting cable news think for you. Read, blog, research. The truth is out there.

Why is Obama being attact by so many these days? Are McCain and Clinton so scared? Is not like they will win anyways. They all need to grow up!!!

Obama is a windbag and the democratic party and DNC are to blame for his rise.

Hillary is the true candidate and the uniter but the DNC and the party are to blame for her demise.

Fix it now or suffer the loss not only in Nov but also among the lifelong democrats who defect because the democratic party no longer reflects their ideals of freedom and the right to vote.

i bet Bill Clinton likes Obama.. and votes for Obama in Nov!

Bill for Obama 2008!

Yes, they have to consider it. What kind of person talk like that especially from a person running for a highest position in the country. Wake up people!

This story is not going away. I believe Obama will soon drop out of the race.

The voting American public is smarter than their elected officials think.

Here's hoping the superdelegates figure that out and vote for the candidate who's not afraid to tell the truth.

good bye obama, it is just a matter of time before you become a joke

It is true Americans are bitter with what's going on in this country, like it or not. Clinton's camp will do what ever to get superdelegates. Clinton in particular is trying to take attention away from Bills speech and her miss statements about Bosnia. Sorry Billary, you lied to the public. Ur tricks wouldn't work.

Independent voter

A vote for Hillary is a vote for the Republicans. NO difference what so ever!! Obama is the only candidate offering any type of change and GOD knows we need it.

Nice spin.

Desperate times calls for desperate measures!! I need to do everything I can to win, even if it means distorting the truth.

Hillary Clinton

Yes we should consider this remark.. Not only does this man promote the audacity of hope, but also the audacity of truth. Its difficult to accept truth and reality from a politician, but maybe we should try a CHANGE!

Really? They need to consider the 'bitter 'remark, but not her lying about Bosnia?

Yes you are right but they will also be coming after Clinton for her lies and connection to foreign governements.

So true.

what was so wrong with the comment. Many Americans are bitter and upset with politicians. Maybe if they spent more time trying to solve problems instead of taking quotes out of context, this country would be in better shape. By the way; anyone who wants to be President of the United States; be they Clinton, Obama, Mccain, or Nader, is probably an elitist.

Hillary's ship is sinking faster than the Titanic. How amazingly desparate these people are!

The point is not whether far right wing would use this or not against Obama in the general election. The point is that he believes so much in his fortune and his ability to manipulate Americans with his demagogic speeches, that he has no limits in what he says. Obama and his campaign continuously offended the other candidates, and now he offends the voters. This guy has no judgment at all.

Hillary Clinton has a lot more to worry about in terms of getting fired at by Republicans. She doesn't stand a chance. She is unable to cool down simple yet important lies that she has told in this campaign. There's no way she'll be able to tamper down what the Republicans will throw at her. Obama on the other hand lets things slide off his back and is able to move forward and take Americans forward with him.

Well now we know what the election should hinge upon.
Thanks for your input!
DrFill

I am astonished by Clinton's campaign right now. Absolutely astonished.

It would be one thing if it was offensive, but it was not. They keep on talking about how bad the comment was, so people will believe it was without actually judging for themselves.

Obama should be out. no one should insult people in penn.

I agree. We first thought about Obama, but the more we listened to him, we think he is too critical and negative, which is not good for a president. We are now strongely for Hillary Clinton. Obama seriously concerns us.

Hillary 08

why does CNN have sensorchip? please tear it down. we do not need your moderation.

If Al Gore was labeled as a serial fibber - what will they label Senator Clinton? Now that is really something to ask the Superdelegate about!

Yes, the Super Delegates better think twice. What Obama said will cost him the election. John McCain will use this against Obama.

The Clinton campaign and supporters are certainly grasping for straws. Elitists have $100 million dollars like the Clintons. They Clintons don't understand what it means to have no job opportunities and be bitter due to NAFTA.

Another revealing blunder by a candidate not ready for prime time.

Desperation at its best. Just go away already, geez.

Agreed. Let's focus on change.

Ron Paul '08

Time for LIAR and her pathetic backers to buzz off. She can't win mathematically and the supers are moving towards OBAMA! America doesn't like bold faced "misspeakers".

Delegates should consider everything, the Columbian fiasco, the Sniper fire, All of the Clintons vast history of misspeaks, missteps and scandals. America is tired of this constant attack deflection misrepresenting the actual meaning of a message, event and person.

In kindergarten, you learn to point the finger at someone else to avoid getting caught when you have done something wrong. Americans are smart enough to know when we are being deceived. Super delegates should pay attention to the spin Hillary gives to her lies, while dividing the country over Barack's comments.

We are bitter. He told the truth.

I agree with what Sen.Bayh says,both Obama and Hillary better watch out with what they say,cause it will come back to hurt them.Mccain will use all this information on whoever is the democratic nominie.

Are you kidding me? If this isn't reaching for gold in an empty mine than I don't know what is. This women seriously needs to drop out of the race.
watch..barack will only gain more support with his rebutal speech..hahahahaha

Yes, Superdelegates, please REEVALUATE your votes for why Obama would say something that is the TRUTH and evaluate why instead, you would vote for somebody (Hillary) who is a LIE.

Besides Obama, these people and this election is sickening.

Vote for Hillary the liar over Obama the truth teller??American people, beware. They are trying their best to play us for fools. We can't see the truth for a lie. His statement makes no sense.

If the meeting in San Fransisco was closed to the press then how was Obama speech recorded then? …mmmmm…??? You think it was a Clintonian secretly taping it???? I say HECK YEAH…..this is the only way she thinks she is going to win….by her continous cheap shots!!!!!!!!!

Yes…I see the relevance to evaluating whether or not something Barack Obama said may have been controversial…as opposed to the outright lie, check that lieS of his candidate. Yes, that's certainly hard to distinguish which is detrimental: lying to the public or discussing hard issues. Hmmmmm….let's see…..which is worse?

Uh, Hillary…Obama's comment was relatively benign, although it could have been phrased better. Your repeated claims about being under sniper fire…well, that's a little more than mis-speaking, isn't it?

My vote is for Obama.

MY, my, how nasty people are on these blogs!! Goes to prove this country needs change.
Hillary is the main cause of all this bitterness. Let's hope she changes soon at least for the good of the country.

[...] Clinton backer: Superdelegates need to consider 'bitter' remark (Political Ticker, CNN) INDIANAPOLIS, Indiana (CNN) -– Sen. Evan Bayh, Hillary Clinton’s top backer in the May 6 primary state of Indiana, argued Saturday that superdelegates need to evaluate Barack Obama’s “bitter” remarks when deciding who to back for the Democratic nomination. “I think it’s a real potential political problem and it’s something for superdelegates and voters to think about,” said Bayh, who was made available to reporters by the Clinton campaign to speak about the controversy. “The far right wing has a very good track record of using things like this relentlessly against our candidates, whether its Al Gore or John Kerry,” Bayh said, “I’m afraid this is the kind of fodder they might use to harm him.” [...]
