Obama was right!
Obama should relate to poor people more than Clinton. HRC family made more money than the president of the United States. Why aren't the poor bitter about that? O BY THE WAY WHAT EVER HAPPENED TO BOSNIA, PENN, BILL'S CONNECTION TO COLUMBIA, NAFTA, HER BAD IRAQ RECORD, and BILL CALLING HRC "OLD" AND "TIRED".

Does the Clinton campaign have anything positive to say about Hillary?
Is their only hope to win the nomination based on saying Obama says
dumber things than she does? She shrugs off her gaffs by saying that hours of campaigning and the constant stress cause her to say things
she wouldn't normaly say.
Obama has not been subjected to the same stress as she has? No. He has been campaigning in a vacuum. Or is it because she is a woman and they are allowed to misspeak because they get tired more quickly than men?

Ohhhhh please!!!! Hillary and McCain have one common enemy right now and that's Obama! Obama is the real deal and everyone knows it! They both see he's the clear shot winner and they will prance on any opportunity to try and bring the man down – even by trying to twist, distort or magnify something he mentioned. Honestly, i can understand McCain pulling something like this – he's on the other side! BUT for the life of me, why is Hillary trying to destroy her very own party?! She will stop at nothing to win even if it means dragging down her own party along with her. She manipulative, selfish and patronising and this is the very reason i will not vote for her. She needs to work on her character, she is not painting a picture of someone who I can trust ? she is painting the picture of desperation!

HRC is demeaning me by her remarks. I am bitter at how my government has done nothing for the people for decades. They are all too busy lining their pockets and sucking up to corporations. Who said there is no free lunch? Not Trent. All of them eat high on the hog, have great medical insurance, travel and monthly expense accounts triple what most of us have to try to get by on for a year. And the biggest slap in the face is our tax dollars fund all of it.
YEAH, I AM VERY BITTER!

If Obama gets the nod from gullible democrat superdelegates – remember, HE CAN'T WIN WITHOUT THEM EITHER – he will be crushed in the general election!!!!! I am a Hillary supporter and I will not only vote for McCain if Slick Willy Obama gets the gets nomination, I will even actually CAMPAIGN for McCain. At this point I don't even care about the Supreme Court nominations McCain will probably get. I was beginning to warm up to Obama but I steadfastly refuse to consider him anymore. He talks out of both sides of his mouth. I am gay and I have had issues with my country but I have always been and always will be a PROUD AMERICAN. America kept Western Europe safe from a Soviet tank invasion during the Cold War. How did Michelle Obama and Jeremiah Wright not remember that!!??

What's demeaning is Hillary Clinton, laughing at her own lies! This is a big joke to her and I for one am no longer willing to take it!

6 weeks ago I voted for her...I admit I was wrong! That is why I just sent $200 to Obama's campaign! The young people are right...it was us old people that elected Bush 1 & 2, and Reagan and Nixon and Clinton. It's time for a new and better way!

Of my 7 grandkids that can vote all are voting for Obama...Thank God!

I love America and I love Barack Obama!!

Of course she is fanning the truth because she has no substance. It is funny that while she is criticizing Obama she is using his lines her speeches.

If she was in touch with the people of this country she would have said what he did in the beginning. She needs to get out while there is still a shred of respect for her left.

Hillarious you have "roots" to play up in every part of the country don't you. We just heard you play up (emphasis on play) your pennsylvania roots.Perhaps that's why you're sounding more & more fragmented.

note: I meant last election, not last year, in my previous comment CNN probably didn't post

I think Obama speaks the way that ordinary people speak. He hasn't learned the political "DoubleSpeak" yet. I hope not ever! Everyone knows exactly what he means but the other candidates TWIST it to THEIR benefit! I for one AM SICK OF IT! Just like when you say "I hate the war in Iraq!",what that means in "DoubleSpeak" is "I DON'T BACK THE TROOPS!" PLEASEEEEEEEEEE! Is no one else sick of the press and fellow running mates making up LIES so they don't have to talk about the REAL issues?!? My husband is so mad at the government that he keeps saying,"At least we still have our guns!" Because more and more OUR government is letting us down. Our government is TOO big. It only runs on money! Money talks! Ask the lobbyists! Please lets keep our eye on the ball and vote someone in who will work for US and U.S., not just their own pockets!

Please get back to attacking McCain, Mrs. former first lady. He's
the guy Barack has to beat. He's already beaten you.

Day by day, I dislike this woman more and more. Give it a break.
Obama 08'

Just one note here. Since we are now looking at the demise of Barack Obama's campaign, please don't give up on electing an African American president in the future.

Obama is not a good representative of the Black community. He's more to the left than he should be and has listened to a hate mongering pastor for 20 years without really hearing his message (or so he says). Radical is my judgement of Obama not Uniting as he claims.

Hillary Clinton has the best ideas on how to bring us together as Americans of all races, colors and faiths.

Hillary has a problem with comprehension – if this is how she interprets comments, how is she going to effectively deal with foreign nations. She would misrepresent what they say as well.

Hillary and her cronies have nothing else to cling onto ..

Watch her harp on this nonsense for weeks to come

During the Bush Clinton Bush administrations hundreds of plants have moved overseas leaving million bitter at their their elected offfical because they have done nothing for them because they wre to busy spending trillions on Iraq or giving work to other countries through nfta. Bitter is putting it lightly when you have years making a company money and one day your working and earninig world is shattered along with future of your loving family. Obama is telling like it is. We expose the problem and get real what is happening before making a honest change. Insanity is voting for the same old people in Washington and expecting a change in policy. Obama is the only hope for sanity.

Evan B what did Hillary promise you??? VP I bet!!!! I don't believe what Hillary Clinton says. I believe Barack was telling the truth and that is more than Hillary has done or Bill Clinton has done. No Obama didn't say the right words but that doesn't make him what you say he is. He told people the truth. This country is hurting, the people in this counrty are hurting. Do I believ Hillary will turn the country around? NO!!! She is the old politics of time, she lives in the past, the country has changed since Bill Clinton was president. You can't go back and no matter how much she talks about the "yester years", it can't work. That was then and this is now. Do you think just because the Saudi's gave Bill millions for his library, the will give us cheap oil? They haven't given Bush any cheap oil.

No Hillary, Obama is not what you are. He is what you wish he was. I hope people wake up before April 22.

Hillary you are out of touch, you think that everyone is delighted to serve you and your campaign's needs without paying the small businessmen and women. There are lots of bitter, angry people working at jobs, who are losing pensions after loyalty with their employers –and Bill gets to enjoy a 8 million pension on the backs of the hard working people. Do you think the shy, polite immigrant workers doing cleaning are not bitter when they go home to the housing that they are being ripped off on? Do you think that the military men and women are not bitter and angry when they provide service to this country at the risk of their lives, and their families survive on foodstamps. When the service member returns home they are being denied medical and psychological services – and guess what McCain "the hero" refuses to stand by veterans by supporting the GI bill. Hillary and McCain are the ones who are out of touch and you can feel the brew stirring, and a lot of resentment from people who keep getting used.

Pennsylvanians Bitter? How about Barak's preacher and his wife remarks? That's what I call bitter!

Hillary you are out of touch with public and I don't think you have a chance against McCain and the hate that will be waged against you and Bill in the general election. I have been a diehard Democrat for as long as I could vote, 25 years now. If Clinton is the canidate for the Dem. party I will not vote for her or McCain, I rather just not vote.

Shame on Obama for making the most recent remarks about small town people. People need to wake-up and just face the truth about Obama. He is scary and we cannot trust him to run this great country we live in. If Obama is the nominee I and many others will have to vote for McCain or not vote in November. GO Hillary, please keep fighting for the nomination. I cannot believe how anyone can vote for Obama knowing he is a big fake.

To add : I wonder how many Ohioans and Texans would want their votes back now knowing you lied about Nafta...Before papers came out..."I don't support NAFTA" Papers come out that say you had 5 meetings about NAFTA before your good ole hubby approved it!!! Explain that demeaing lie...will you Billary?

Still ducking from sniper fire????

I think she should make a central part of her campaign why she AND her husband continue to lie about that trip to Bosnia – the SD's should definately take that into consideration.

Bitter? No Hillery they should be dancing in the streets at YOUR comment that "they will roll up their sleeves." Hay, out of touch Hillery, THEIR SLEEVES HAVE BEEN ROLLED UP FOR A DECADE AND THEY STILL HAVE NOTHING TO LOOK FORWARD TO BUT A SECOND JOB AT WALLMART OF McDONNALDS!

Bill Schnieder did a poor job in saying what Obama meant about clinging to their "guns" and religion. Schnieder said "they have hunting that they will do"; give me a break. What Obama meant was that they cling to their guns for committing crimes. Had he meant hunting, he would have said that they feed their family with their guns.
Its funny, Obama has such good judgement, that he had the good judgement to pick people who are able to decipher what he meant.
Thanks to his good judgement, he has was able to degrade the people of Pennsylvania and other small towns, and still live to insult others.

Perhaps Obama need to take a cue from hillary. When hillary gets in a bind because of somehting said all she have to do is "giggle" about it and it goes away. Gigggles are magic when you lie about snipers in Bosnia giggle about it when questioned and it goes away the media will stop asking you questions about it. From now all Obama have to do is giggle it works for hillary.

At least he did not lie like Clinton did. If the republicans want to use it they can go ahead. It is better than a chronic liar.

At least we all know Mccain is OLD. That is not a misstatement.

yeah, we're bitter from the down-turn of economy. Thanks to you, MccBush and Billary!!! Take everything from us and get the money from the lobbysts for Nafta and columbian trade, Billary! should we feel happy now? what did Obama say so wrong? he told the truth, nothing offensive in his words, I don't get your point. I am more upset with you Billary, because you don't even kow that we're suffering and bitter!!!!!! Making 100 mill doesn't relate us to you for certain!

Demeaning? The man is telling the truth,,, try that Hillary. Hillary is talking about NAFTA while she is making behind door deals for $800,000. That is what superdelegates are looking at.

Oh please Clintonites,,, Obama said the truth. A lot of people are bitter. Absolutely bitter,,, and by the way, the reason the economy is in bad shape is because of the policies Bill Clinton and Hillary put together during the Clinton years. We are now feeling the effects of allowing China join the WTO and we are now feeling the effects of NAFTA.

Only people not smart enough to see this will vote for her.

Hillary cant win the nomination , whatever she says unless she believes in miracles not math like Huckabee. But what worries me is how she want to tear down Obama for the Republicans to win in November. Thats just plain arrogance on her part. She is out of touch with Americans

Hillary has got to be the most divisive person ever created. I don't believe for one minute that Obama is pious or out of touch. On the contrary, He grew up poor, of mixed race, and abandoned by his father. If anyone has ever experienced any of these conditions, they'll understand that there is an ingrained empathy for the struggling that is within Obama.

I think it's ok for the candidate's motivations for running for president be tested. But I think Hillary and McCain's should be tested as well. Somehow, I just don't think we'd get the entire truth from Hillary though.

Obama's bus tour of rural Pennsylvania really exposed him to the "White trash". He spoke truthfully about them. They are backward for a reason. Obama's opinion is not elitist but honest. We should praise him and not pounce on him for these truthful comments.

Jose
Arlington, TX

Bye Bye Obama!!

Give me a Break. Obama is just trying to say what so many of us ordinary
citizens feel. For Hillary and the rest , they don't even understand what
he was trying to say. Guess, she is like the rest of them that have been in Washington politics too long. They forgot what it is like to be just an ordinary citizen trying to make a DECEIT WAGE AND SUPPORT THEIR FAMILY. SHAME ON YOU, HILLARY CLINTON.

There is some stupid people in the world. There is alot of bitter people in the world because of the economy and they are losing everything they work hard for President Bush got the world in an uproar, people are losing their jobs, people who are not in that situation would not understand because they feel they have it all together. But remember the shoes can always be on your foot too. Would you be bitter or happy for everything you work hard for. Learn to listen and understand before you judge what he was saying because it can always be you too.

Hillary please! You better start planning how you're going to spin the fact that you and your husband support Colombian free trade. Who insults the American people more than you. You are for the people when it benefits you and only then. I say $109 million, part of which came from free trade deals, certainly puts you further away from the average person than a comment that you twist to your own benefit. I, for one, am smart enough to comprehend what he meant.

Get out of the gutter. I would not vote for you if there was no one else running!

one would think Obama might remember what this famous person said??

YOU CAN FOOL ALL THE PEOPLE SOME OF THE TIME . AND SOME OF THE PEOPLE ALL OF THE TIME BUT YOU CANNOT FOOL ALL THE PEOPLE ALL THE TIME .
Abraham Lincoln

What is demeaning to the American people is the Clinton campaign's tone and demeanor. Does she really think that people who have been out of work for 10 years, who were given an empty promise by the first Clinton administration that they'd be fully trained for tech jobs, who have been completely ignored by this Bush administration really aren't bitter? She really thinks they harbor no bitterness to the government that has neglected them for so long except during election season?

THAT is out of touch. THAT is elitist thinking. Don't worry middle America, more of the same is on the way.

About the FLDS situation:

Surely the women who have given birth to the 400+ children now in protective custody have also lost babies, either as stillborns or shortly after birth. Where are those babies' bodies?

Also, are any of the 400+ children now in protective custody disabled or disfigured? If not, wouldn't you think that some births would result in disfigurements (especially since there is alleged inbreeding)? If so, then were those babies killed for not being "perfect?"

I think these are questions both the authorities working with this situation AND the media should address.

I also believe that anything goes concerning this situation. Nothing should be considered impossible or improbable.

How about it, CNN?

I found it demeaning way back when Hillary was First Lady, and said she wasn't going to be home baking cookies in the White House. I would think that there would be some other women out there that chose to stay home and raise their children who found that comment to be a little offensive. I think that comment has helped form my opinion of her. I will not support her.

You know what is demeaning?
Listenning to hillary..

Perhaps people are bitter for losing their jobs, but it is wrong to say then that these people turn to guns and religion because of the bitterness. I heard Obama yesterday or today say that he meant that people will not vote on economic issues and insteas will vote on gun rights issues. lol. Whatever. Too bad he didn't say that to the crowd in California.

Why are those who back hilary Clinton twist any little statement that obama makes? is it because they so behind on the delegate count? i know if the shoe is on the other feet i think they will be having a party.

Just understand hilary that its time you back out of this race and do yourself good and lets look foward to novermelection with obama.

People don't need a president who thinks they're idiots. People don't need a president who thinks people are sheep, happily living half the life they could as long as there's a Democrat in the White House. People don't need a president who thinks they can be placated with bread and circuses, with guns and flag day parades while the fat cats enjoy vacations in Europe and winters in the Cayman Islands. People don't need a president who claims to be a "fighter" while promoting trade deals that destroy their jobs and their children's hopes for the future. People don't need a president who claims to be one of them while raking in tens of millions each year advising groups how to get richer by exploiting the American taxpayer.

People don't need Hillary Clinton.

Lying to us and then demeaning us by calling it a "misspeak" is mean too. We are not idiots.

Hillary Clinton was asked a question yesterday about her husbands $ 800,000. speeches in Columbia and since she loaned her campaign money did she consider that a conflict of interest. She couldn't answer the question because she told so many lies and all of her deceit is out in the open where she cant lie again, she laughed it off. I don't believe that was presidential at all. Hillary clinton lacks good judgement, character, she lies, exagerates, not accountable, and will do anything to win the nomination. She will never have my vote.

I stand with you Obama. I have lived in many towns across the U.S. (including Philadelphia) and understand well what Obama is talking about. He IS in touch. I am increasingly becoming bitter with Hilary who needs to drop out of the race because she will not win the nomination. She is acting as if Obama was the Republican candidate.

Too many gaffes. Shows lack experience, Poor judment. Surely will be swift boated in general election. Given Republicans enough red meat to trash him.

Obama can't win the general election. YOU KNOW IN YOUR HEART, HE IS "wright"

Can you imagine the fire-storm if Hillary (or God forbid, Bill) used the phrase "typical black person?" That would have forced her out of the race. Yet Obama casually throws this out and it's ho-hum. Now he refers to Pennsylvanians as being "bitter" and tries to blame it on the current state of campaigning. Keep pounding Hillary!

They weren't demeaning. They were right on target. I am bitter. Everytime I fill my gas tank, buy grocery, get an energy bill I'm BITTER! The sad thing is I have a six figure income to rely on. I could only imagine being unemployed. I would be beyond bitter. Let's stay focused everyone. Economy, healthcare, Iraq that's what really matters. I would suggest Senator Clinton consider that!!!

Bitter? You are darn right we in America are bitter. This is yet another cruel joke on the people of the republic where the truth cannot be said. Yes – I am clinging to religion and praying that reason and sanity will win out. Has 8 years of Bush and Rove dumbed down our expectation so much we cannot handle a thoughful conversation on anything and are willing participants as the politicians and media spin and spin and tell us what to think? God help us.

Thank you Hillary!!! Hopefully the SD's will start to pay closer attention to this guy. Sooner or later, he will completely bury his candidacy by his own actions.

Looks like Hillary's finally shown her true colors, bold red.

What Barack Obama said is the truth.

Could it be that some "cannot and do not want to handle the truth.

Hillary you are too desperate.The truth is that people are bitter.Obama is the only presidential candidate that is saying the truth.If you want the status quo to continue vote for either Hillary or Maccain.
OBAMA '08

If Obama is elected, get ready to give up your guns, folks.

If earning over 109 Million dollars even in a life time doesn't make you elitist then I wonder what can. I have been unemployed and bitter and you can never possibly feel what we feel unless you have suffered the same fate. For Washington to contribute to unemployment and turn around to use it as a diversion from the issues that matter is demeaning. We want jobs not jabs.

How come Hillary's reaction to Obama and John McCain's reaction to Obamma are almost word-for-word the same? Is it because they are both so inside-the-beltway Washington types that they can't see that ordinary Americans are indeed bitter and frustrated that Washington insiders, who get these large lobbying paychecks (like Mark Penn), are selling us out to foreign governments and companies. If Hillary and McCain think everything is rosy in rural America, and in the suburbs for that matter, then let them shop for grocies, buy gasoline, and pay for the basics of life for a change. Then they will understand why Americans are so fed up with their same old same old. Obama said what many Americans are thinking. Thank goodness at least one presidential candidate realizes that people outside of Washington are hurting and hungry for the truth ... and for real change based on reality, not tired rhetoric.

I am sure that everyone (including the press) will focus more on Senator Clinton's comments than on Obama's. People need to realize that Obama's comments show his true colors. He is not the person to save this country, he is the one who will say and do anything to save himself. Think about it, he is now using this "misspoken" comment to say that people are angry and want change. Well I am still waiting to hear what this particular change will be. At least with Senator Clinton she is offering solutions to our problems. All Obama does is talk about the fact that people want change. And when he does offer some type of solution, it's a carbon copy of something that Senator Clinton has been saying all along. Obama says that he doesn't want "old politics," but he is the one who is playing the game of old politics to the fullest.

CNN stop this lenghty nonsense subject, you being paidn again by Hillary.

Obama answered a legitimate question about race again and he is being criticized. the question was why some people in small town are not listening to Obama, is it because he is black?

He answered and analyse it. Hillary want to divert her lies and fraud by jumping on Obama answers. I bet to laugh away legitimate question is better than answering it. eh..?

Hillary and her folks want him to make mistakes.
Why don't you like your fellow democrats? what has he done to deserve your comdemination all the time Hillary folks?
Every little words will be spined out of context, this will not help democrats win the white house.
Hillary is favouring Mccain then Obama over and over again. Mccain attacked Obama and Hillary follow suite criticizing her democratic rival.
Last time she said she have lifetime experience and Mccain does ,but Obama has speeches he gave 2002.
No wonder her fans will want to vote Mccain if she didn't get the nomination, because Hillary has endorsed Mccain.
Can't candidate say the truth about really hardship?
Even some Hillary supporter and Mccain want Obama to apologize for saying the truth.
You guys are stupid and your ears are under water.
Looking for fault from Obama will not get your candidate elected.
No matter what good Obama do or talk about, you folks will still blindly criticize him, not because what he did was wrong but you just want to criticize everything about him. TOO BAD !!!

I as a lower income white woman from Texas who understands fully what Obama is saying and hes absolutely 100% correct. I know I am bitter every time I see or hear someone losing their job thats shipped over seas or a plant closing. All this knowing we could be next and not even to be able to help our neighbors as many may want to because its the right thing to do. Its frustrating and its sad seeing two near you get that pink slip due to lay offs or that well your contracts up but we are bringing in a new person so you can train them before your let go. How insulting is that?

Obama said it right on and you rich typical politicians can never relate to me. Yes we are angry and thats why we NEED Obama in the whitehouse because HE GETS IT. I dare any of you to live on 30k for an entire year no benefits and work at a normal job. No savings no credit cards and not even a new car. Our car is 19 years old and guess what we bought it brand new when we thought we were getting somewhere only to be slung right back to the gutters.

My husband has been layed off 3 times in the last 7 years and is possibly going to get dismissed from his current contract through AMD. Guess what we have nothing to fall back on so we will once again try for food stamps and pray that we can find work before we get evicted or our lights turned off. All the while you guys have that lovely 100 million or your wifes income to continue living and your job security. The rich get richer and the poor get poorer.. Clinton and McCain are the elitist not Obama.

I did not see at all how he was demeaning but Clinton has demeaned our intelegence with the laughing off sniper fire and claiming well shes human and thats somewhat of a revolution.. Obama gets it and I wish all america would as well. Yes I am BITTER but at least I still have HOPE which is something no government nor another person can take away from me. I still have my faith.

Obama 08

Well, ignorance is bliss. Twist it any way you can Hillary.

The fact is that people are bitter. They are bitter about the lies, misspeeks and embellishments to state a few.

THey are bitter about your and others old style politcs.

So spin it all you want, people are not as stupid as you seem to think. You thought they were stupid enough to believe your Bosnia story and they were not and they wont now either. They will take this for exactly what it is.

The truth that people are fed up with old politics!!

If there was any chance of Obama losing the nomination I would have voted for Hillary, no matter how much I disliked her.

This is the end though, she has eliminated all possibility of getting my vote no matter what.

This is an obviously shallow attack designed to do nothing but try and hurt him, this IS what negative campaigning is...

Saying his policies are flawed isn't negative campaigning, THIS is.

She is scum.

SCUM.

I don't think I've ever hated a public person as much as Hillary...she is vile.

Why don't you ask a person who has actually lost their job if it's realistic to say they feel bitter...not someone who is sitting on a 100 million dollar fortune.

Obama makes sense to me. Why is common sense so uncommon in politics?

Senator Clinton is absolutely right. Obama is an extremely divisive person. He gives a speech on race and all it does is further the race divide. He talks and talks about being different when he isn't. He makes false claims or tells bold face lies and people are finally starting to notice. He is not qualified to be president and at this point I don't believe anything he says. He has no chance of winning in November. Vote Clinton.

How many angels dance on the head of the pin????? Loser. This all you can scavenge? Pleeeeease. PA and Indiana folks she is a chronic liar.

He said....she said....he said....

CNN, why don't you cover ANYTHING Ralph Nader says. He's the only one on the campaign trail that is making any sense!!!!
