Hillary according to Edward Kein's book , THE TRUTH ABOUT HILLARY needs to turn to page 442-43 and read I MADE MY SPEECH AT GOUCHER'S WINTER CONVOCATION from her biography Clinton, LIVING HISTORY. Part of her speech said ….we have a choice how to react. We can be pulled down by these disappointments, or we can be made BITTER and angry. But then , we are the losers….. Hillary has taken her own choice of words and turned them on Obama. Obama may of called us bitter but he never called us losers.

Translation:
Obama: People are angry ("bitter") and they have good reason to be.
Clinton: How dare you call them angry ("bitter")?!

The whole thing is ridiculous. Why are you treating this obviously desperate ploy like it's a real story?

HERE COMES THE KITCHEN SINK!"I WILL FIGHT",ALL THE LIES,BEHIND DOORS TRADE DEALS,ATTACKING ANOTHER DEMOCRAT[AND HIS SUPPORTERS],FOR TELLING THE TRUTH?SHE WILL LOSE THIS NOMINATION,OBAMA WILL WIN,BECAUSE SHE IS TOO NEGATIVE AND INCAPABLE OF BEING HONEST.IF SHE HAD ONLY HAD THE GUTS TO SAY WHAT BARACK SAID,ALL ALONG,SHE MAY HAVE HAD A CHANCE.I'D RATHER RIGHT-IN RON PAUL,THAN THAN THE CLINTONS.AT LEAST,HE RECOGNIZES THE NEED FOR CHANGE IN THIS NATION.

HRC gives a new definition to the word "SPINSTER". Hilliary, please stop with the diversions from your campaigns spinning. You know exactly what Sen. Barack was talking about when he spoke about people being bitter about the way the government has things going. You will do anything to be the first woman president, so you can make history. I used to think that you would be a good president back in the day, but now I see that you aren't even a good person, with all the lies and spinining, etc. You are just a rich old lady who enjoys power and want to make history. Oh, and by the way, tell Bill to sit his ole butt down somewhere and take your partner McSame with him.

Why is religion being discussed at all? Is everyone forgetting there is supposed to be Separation of church & state. I prefer to have a friend who did not believe in the supernatural, but if a president is capable of keeping his or her supernatural beliefs out of the presidency, that's fine. Why are both of these candidates talking about the biblical character of god as though it were a good doer? Are they forgetting that the bible contains more violence than any other book written – even "In Cold Blood"? Come on, people! The biblical god wanted to kill everyone in the floods, kill the firstborn, and it goes on and on! This is the same biblical character whom people like Hillary and Obama believe in and claim the character as loving them unconditionally! Richard Dawkins has more sense than any of the candidates. Richard, wanna run!?

please OBAMA an elitist??? Are you kidding. Obama grandmother
was poor on food stamps,depended on the church and friends at one time in her life. She worked hard and instilled MORALS AND VALUES
in her grandson. He worked hard to get into HARVARD. That should be something to be PROUD of. How DARE CLINTON try to demean
that. CLINTONS MADE MILLIONS off of us white catholic union workers. CLINTON IS THE ELITIST…. now she's drinking with "the common people" She has millions but STILL has NOT PAID those
common workers ACROSS this country that she used for her campaign…..SHE MAKES ME SICK

Hillary's casting Al Gore in a negative light is it because she and her husband unsuccessfully tried to woo him to endorse her but he refused?

This "bitter" comment that she's blowing out of proportion will backfire. If she's wise she'll quickly drop it. Campaign environments are very dynamic – they change so fast.

after mouthing words all weekend about the bitter comment, when hilliary was asked she said "sen. Obama gonna have to explain that for himself". this woman is always playing unfair politics. she is so pathetic. i appreciate Campbell Brown for forcing her to speak about. Obama always takes the high road. when they blundered last week he never spoke about.

Geez, she sounds bitter….

I never was so tired in my life listening to Hillary…she sounded so cocky,very calculating not to lose a vote.It doesn't take a genius to know the things behind her lines. WHAT'S ACTUALLY TRUE AND REAL IN THIS WOMAN?

CREDIBILITY is now the true and real issue with H….Leave now Hillary,please….Move on,will you?

The amazing thing about this story is the fact that one could actully state that he "mis-spoke." Clinton is such a hypocrite.

Our country has benefited from great leadership from both political parties. We have, however, come far afield from our Founding Fathers intent on separation of church and state where candidates for presidency must now take a vivid position on religion. We have forgotten Tocqueville's warning "religions should be more careful to confine themselves to a proper sphere, for if they wish to extend themselves beyond spiritiual matters, they run the risk of not being believed at all" ; we now find ourselve in the tug of war between religious militants which demand and impose their religious convictions on our nation "masquarading political agenda in a veneer of spirituality". We are a spiritual nation but our great strength in government is toleration of many faiths and to keep our religious leaders out of politics: The late Father Robert Drinan stepped down from politics, Former President Richard Nixon appealed to the late Billy Graham to not support any presidential candidate. Just look at Iran if one were to allow clergyman to lead a nation. If there is a direction our country needs to go, that is to renew our country's basic precepts.

To listen to her pee and moan about some one else is sickning/ Would rather she talk about why we should vote for her. This would
be a welcome change on the campain trail. If is all she has is negativeizm, we can't use her to lead any place in this country.
Time for her to get her carpetbag out again and hit the trail.

What Obama meant is all the lies that Candidates like Hillary is telling us during campaign and when they get elected they forget about us. He was was talking about the old Washington way that people are fed up with. Do not negotiate trade with Columbia and when we find out you tell us you were opposed it. This is what people are bitter against the lies the fake promises. Not because you told us that you were opposed the trade deal with Columbia does not mean we believe you. Hillary is telling us that she is experience has she been president before? No! Neither is McCain and Obama. We need a trustworthy president with good judgment not Hillary. She told us lies about Bosnia and Columbia enough is enough.

Bye bye Obama

Go Hillary Go!

No, No, No, Hillary has been twisting what Obama said. This lady can lie to her teeth! I never thought I would dislike this woman called Hillary Clinton.

I regret ever voting for the Clintons. If I could take my vote back I would. Voters in Pennsylvania should vote wisely unlike me and vote for Obama.
He is the right person for the highest office of the land.

I am curious and noticed that first she claimed why do I always get chosen to go first and today she chose to go first, I dont get it. Also it seemed that Obama received much more clapping and where she just walked up to the stage he shook hands on his way down. Her responses seemed to be alot about her though and avoided many subjects where as Obama addressed them as directly as he answers all questions. I hope those in doubt are satisfied as he answered the questions.

Obama 08

Obama's "bitter" comment sounded like a clear belief that economic hardtimes tempts us to become gun totting religious anti-immigration bigots. Tonight he "misconstruded" his own words. He wasn't straight with us, and dodged his own prejudices.

Do Bill and Hillary go to the same church as Monique Lewinsky?

In view of the political campaign, I for one see that we can not convince everyone without them knowing what we are made of. We have to learn to earn everyone's trust and respect by delivering the words of truth and doing the acts of truth. The mirror is not our exact image but what's in us is what needs to be revealed…. for talking and acting are two different perspectives. While these two perspectives compliment each other, it discloses the real one.

Malem, Federated States of Micronesia.

Hillary needs to be quiet and let this issue drop off the radar.

The Democratic nominee cannot afford to be seen as somebody who cannot take the heat, so why is she turning up the fire?

The Democratic nominee cannot afford to be criticized in this way, so why is she still talking about it?

LEAVE OBAMA ALONE!!! Hillary, you are messing up this party by continuously bringing to light this guy's faults! Can't we just move on and elect the man and get it over with?

If Hillary continues this kind of stuff, then we will see Obama for what he truly is BEFORE the general election in November!

WE CAN'T HAVE THAT!

So — SHUT UP, HILLARY!!!

Said the pot to the kettle…

As a rural northeast PA voter, I can tell you people are bitter here. People claim they want an honest politician, but when they get one the others throw the kitchen sink at him.

If anyone knows bitterness it's that cackling shrew.She thought she
could basicly just walk right into the White House because of
who she was.She's bitter because not everyone will kow tow to
her.She's blatently angry with her own party for allowing someone
to challenger her and now she's even more angry that her party wouldn't
change the rules to suit her so she could win or at least save face to
loose less badly.

For the record, I think political parties are uselss entities and neither
party is worth voting for..I choose NONE OF THE ABOVE…

Clinton….with this level of stupidity and immaturity that you exhibit in your campain, you're becoming a disgrace to the Dem. party.

Instead of mainpulating words and speeches of others, answer the question that CNN asked you a few days ago about the $800,000 you pocketed from the trade lobbiests. I thought you'll be someone different…someone with strength and credibility, but you proved me that I had the wrong choice….I thank you for showing your true side…your side of disgrace and being such a low and shallow person…

What's next for you?….outsourcing NASA and DoD to China? Or moving the Fed. Reserve to Columbia?

No wonder you never make sense cause you're never sober…not even at 10AM…ooops, hope we are not in Bosina right now….

Hillary needs some R&R. Apparently she is suffering from Post Traumatic Stress that incurred while dodging bullets in Bosnia.
This is just another example of "win by whatever means".
I suggest that her R&R begin NOW…
She is a disgrace to the Democratic Party.
Shame on you Hillary!

I'm sorry but Mrs. Clinton seems disingenuous, elitist, dull, lame, condescending, and unabashedly pandering when she speaks to groups in more natural free flowing setting whether in CA, TX, OH, PA, etc. And this is to all U.S.A.er of any and all skin colors.

Too many of her attacks and so called issues contrasts and campaign statements have sour and bitter as main ingredients. She's simply too petty and maniacally opportunistic.

Hillary has already lost this election. She will not go into the convention with more votes, states, or delegates and as such Obama will take the majority of the superdelegates and win the nomination.

All this is doing is hurting the party's chances in November. Read Obama's comment and think about what he's saying. It's neither controversial or false; it's the truth. Hillary's petty politics are a shame.

It was very refreshing to watch the forum. Obama was brillant. He did not take the easy way out like Hillary. He gave answers that may have not been the safest answers. I appreciate a person who is honest. It was VERY OBVIOUS that Obama was speaking from the heart while Hillary was very measured, making sure she gave the safe answer.

Obama looked and sounded like the next president of the united states.

If you ask Obama a direct question you get a direct answer. If you ask Hillary a direct question you get a response that insults my intelligence. blah, blah, blah.

Obama is the most HONEST politician I have ever seen.. Just what America needs. If you want someone to tell you what you want to hear, what may make you feel good, vote for Hillary. If you want someone to be honest with you, regardless of how it makes you feel, vote for Obama.

ITS VERY SIMPLE

Oh, how the truth hurts,Obama shows his true colors!!!!
HILLARY 08

Hillary Clinton is a sore loser she needs to lay off on Barack Obama especially on the "bitter issue" she is trying to distract attention from her elitis sniper fire lie and the tons of money her husband Bill has made from speeches promoting NAFTA . Pennslyvanian should vote for Barack Obama he feel and understand what pain and suffering they are going through from what NAFTA has brought to them. Hillary and Bill feel the riches from NAFTA. GO OBAMA 08

HRC is wicked. How dare she make the statement about the feeling of the Holy Spirit. I'm glad God is forgiving and merciful because she should have been struck down for that lie. God also says that we are to love our brothers and sisters. He says how can we say that we love him when we have not seen him but can't love our brothers/sisters who we can see?

Obviously, no one from that school had Bible versus 101. I would have loved to have seen her face if someone had posed that question? Talk about cat who swallowed the canary look!!!

Hillary should stop using her constant victim angle and present her politics in a true and effective manner. No wonder she'll never be the front runner. The american people are not as gullible as she thinks.

Don't forget, check out youtube, the shocking video hillary clinton doesn't want anyone to see. It's very informative.

Dear Hillary, American people are more worried about your comments rather than Obama's characterization of a group of people in PA.
Let us just break down some of the things you have said Hillary:

Hillary: " I am against NAFTA". Lie
Hillary: "I ducked snapper fire in Bosnia". Lie
Hillary: "I met a pregnant women who died for lack of treatment". Lie
Hillary: " I am against Columbian trade deal". Lie

Obama, characterized a certain group of people which is actually true in many ways. He did not lie. No, unlike the Clintons, Obama did NOT lie.

Hillary Clinton will deliver just the same thing others have done. If America wants to CHANGE then Hillary is NOT the candidate. She seems to me a "me too" person.

She and Bill are bought and paid for by Columbia for NAFTA.

For Hillary to infer that Al Gore wasn't elected because Americans viewed him as elitist is unfathomable. Al Gore would be President today if Bill Clinton hadn't perjured himself–torpedoing the Democrats election chances in the process. Her husband owns the Democrats failure to maintain the White House–just like Hillary owns the Clintons' failure to deliver on their health care promise during his two terms and now she wants people to believe she can deliver when she's President–what she failed to do when her husband placed her in charge of solving the problem under his administration. The result will be the same the second time around if Americans are naive enough to trust her to solve our health crisis.

she right things and just patien okay cnn

Hillary Clinton is again grasping at straws regarding her so-called concern for americans and their way of life. She taunts the validity of Obama by pointing out a "comment" she said, and yet, she misspoke,
missjudged, and out right lied about many things in and concerning her political life and aspirations. I find it hard to believe that no one has mentioned the suit Peter Paul filed against Hillary Clinton, in April 2006, regarding the largest election fraud case in the U.S. This case is proceeding in a Clalfornia court. Facts and accusations have been reported about the charges on MSNBC, Fox News and the Washington News. John Arman, a Constitutional Law Specialist, stated that this case directed showed the extent the Clintons will go to undermind the case presented against them . However, FEC laws deem it a felony it exceeded 1.2 million in campaign contibutions.
Peter Paul further explains his charges on youtube. The shocking Video Hillary Does Not Want you to See Part 1 & 2. Again, I cannot understand why the public has not been appraised about this case.

CNN stop playing into this so called "bitter" issue with Hillary Clinton. I am a CNN fan and will no longer be if you, CNN, continue to harp on this issue. It's no issue. It's the truth!! People are bitter and upset and if it doesn't apply to you or anyone else, keep on moving.

She is really desperate right now, she knows that it's impossible for her to win the election, uncless the SD all go to her.

well fair is fair….saint barack complains that MS HRC is taking his <> comment out of context and should accept his correction,,,but when mccain says his <>comment was taken out of context, obama does not accept the correction given by mccain,,, so why should anyone accept saint obama"s so-called corection for his very stupid comment???
mccain/condi08!!!

Wow! Is this a sign that Al Gore has given the Clintons a piece of his mind and told them he is gonna support Obama? Else, I don't think her answer would appease Gore in any way now, is there?

I must say, that Hilliary clinton character is so "Bitter" about…
Her lack in support over the US,
Her inability to keep up with her lies and stories correctly
Her inablilty to keep her husbands mouth shut…or something else,
Her inablity to appeal to young voters like Barack,
Her inability to be the Democratic Presidnetial Nominee.

Since these things are not in her control, I can say that she is very much Bitter, an not just upset!!!

I believe Barack and his family are praying for Hillary and Bill. Her elitest comments were far from appropriate at the forum and showed exactly where her spiritual beliefs rest.

What she sees and hears are clear indicators as to what needs to be healed in her.

Dorothy/white/57yr/Alabama

Barack is the one who has recently "misspoke", Hillary flat out lies about many things. Most people at least wait until they are President to start lieing to us.

ouch! well we know who Gore is going to support. What was she thinking?

WAY TO GO HILLARY, MADAME PRESIDENT!!! I AM SO PROUD OF YOU!!! I can't wait to vote for you in the North Carolina primary. You WILL WIN this election!

HILLARY '08!

"But large segments of the electorate concluded that they did not really understand, or relate to, or frankly respect their ways of life," said Clinton" .

…..This lady has some issues …… if she refering to Gore (an undeclared superdelegate) and Kerry both leaders of her own Dem. party.

I watched the forum and your article isn't quite right, Senator Clinton when asked about Obama's statement answered that she will let Obama speak for himself but she was forced by bias Cambell (she's obviously pro-Obama) to said something about it. Senator Clinton was very professional all the way and stick to the topic. I find Cambell a bit rude and unprofessional.

These are the things that make it hard for me to post rationally and not just "fire off an angry post." These are the things that make me just beside myself with angst directed at the Clinton camp. I watched the form and thought that Senator Obama was genuine and explained in perfect clarity this statement. But if you watch the 15 second sound bite they played at the end you would have thought all he said was 'oh sorry'. We the people MUST find a way to kick the media out of this debate so long as they are going to construct the message to keep a controversy going. There really should be a site something like "nosoundbitesuckers.com" that is non partisan and posts the entire statements that the sound bites come from. I know you can almost always find them but it would be nice to have a single place to go.

Barack Obama is, unfortunately, an ultra double face politician.
He attended a church with a racist, hatefilled pastor who "introduced" him to Christianity, marry him, baptized his children and lectured him about faith and religion for 20 YEARS!
Now while in a closed fund raiser in San Francisco, he uttered the words, "they cling…..to", "they" he says…..I can just see picture him, so suave, looking above people and using his finger as he usually does, perhaps not to that audience, but I can just picture him.
BO and his wife are the biggest opportunists. They are not for real. They are not what AMerica needs. Please America WAKE UP!!!

HRC claims she does not talk down to voters…but she will lie to them til she's blue in the face. I hope she keeps running her mouth on this issue because it will come back to bite her. Talk about an elitist. She has been living in a bubble the last 25 years. She and her husband are so out of touch with what the American people are looking for. Obama was great in the Forum tonight and notice he got a standing ovation when he came out and way…way more applause. This country will be missing out on a one in a lifetime opportunity if this man is not our next president. Go Barack. Annie Oakley…ha ha! Love it!

In the Debate tonight…. did Obama just say that the reverend is NOT his Spiritual Advisor….I could of swore he has said in the past that the Reverend was his spiritual advisor?????

Okay I just finished watching this whole thing and I may have been on the fence before, but I'm not anymore.

Hillary Clinton's answers were outstanding. She was so detailed and thoughtful in each one of her answers.

She spoke from both the heart and the mind and carefully weighing both sides.

I have never seen Senator Clinton this insightful or thoughtful before and I really, really liked her.

I thought Senator Obama was very good too – but his answers were far more on the surface – far more political.

Senator Clinton went far more in depth, more spiritual in her answers.

I would be very proud to see Senator Clinton become President. I have confidence that she will be able to make a difference.

Columbian trade deal, Bosnia what is next for Clinton trade deal? May be Cuba, Iran, Lybia, Syria, Sudan, Or communist Korea.

Good grief. He was trying to say that the people, not just in PA, but across the country are frustrated and unhappy with the economy and what the government has done. Hillary, you are being so picky it is not even funny. You are rediculous!

And that silly and foolish talk of the media going against Hillary and giving Obama a free ride should stop today. The media has no respect for anyone. They don't care who you are. They just want to improve their ratings. Right CNN? See I told you. Fox News seem to have been incoporated to run against Obama on the same day he announced his decision to run for president.

so this guy wants to call American voters Bigots due to bitterness and Hillary shouldn't defend the american people what nerve on this guys part. If he was just stating the plight of rural America why is it that this comment came out the way it did at a forum where only rich people were? Obama is insulting you to the same rich people that run the companies that sent your jobs overseas. And once again you have biased CNN say silly things like hillary pounced on it. John King pls act like a journalist not a groupie for Obama and i heard Roland Martin say he was an independent (lmfao) personally i thought he was Obama's blood brother. Sad but now i need to double check ur reportings with u know who b4 cause this medium has become sooo groupie esk.
WHY DO STORIES WITH NEGATIVE COMMENTS ABOUT HILLARY ALLOWED TO REACH ABOUT 600 BUT WHEN PEOPLE CRITIZIZE OBAMA COMMENTS ARE CUT OFF SOMETIME AT ONLY 50. CNN CNN CNN WHY? TOOOO OBVIOUS!!!!!

She knows better.

Obama is a good man. I appreciate his faith, words, whatever experience he has, and his intentions. I believe that Hillary is right on on all counts and if I could I'd cast my vote to her. This is not about adamant and rabid bloggers needing so badly to cut their opponents until they bleed profusely.

Every time Obama open his mouth, he put his foot in it, the same for his wife Michelle, I bet Rev. Wright, Bill Ayers, and Tony Rezsko was at that Fundraiser in California where he down right stereotyped those people in Penn., If he really felt that what he was saying was not stereotyping those people, why didn't he say it to their face. Obama is an opportunist who has been in the senate for one hour and think he is ready for prime time, he is far from ready, look who he surrounds himself with, corrupted Rezsko, Terriost Bill Ayers, and married to terriost Michelle who has never been proud of this country,
YES HE WILL not win the general election in November, THE CHICKENS WILL NOT COME HOME TO ROOST FOR HIM IN NOVEMBER.

Hillary put down Al Gore and John Kerry. Do I hear an Al Gore endorsement for Obama coming soon? Hillary the elitist calling Obama an elitist is very funny. Hillary could care less about the American people because it isall about her. Wake up America. Hillary has been giving nothing but clues along the way about what a lying flip flopper she really is.

Oh my goodness Hillary. She is behaving like a child. It is very apparent that this woman will do anything, say anything to get elected. This whole "bitter" issue is stupid and irrelevant. The Clinton campaign is trying to get milk out of a brick. She thinks the American voters are stupid and can't sort through her silly tricks. See how Obama surges in the polls in Pennsylvania this week leading into next week. Just wait and see.

Both candidates took a little turn away from the topic of faith forum and at times where possible turned it into a political debate or perhaps a political forum. Obama towards the end of his session at one point to a question from the audience just went on and on for a long period of time talking about every possible political issues he would take care of as President. The list was endless. I thought when will he stop. It was a faith forum I thought not a political forum. He spoke of the economy , the poverty and you name it. I know that Kerry is backing Obama but did Hillary lost Al Gore's support by her comment as to why she thought he and Kerry were defeated.

What a piece of work she is.

Ok! One Day HRC speaks of wining big states, and how that most qualifies her for the nomination. The claim days ago was that Obama has won small middle American states; and by that he is intrinsically un-electable. Now today (according to HRC) senator Obama is out of touch with the same people in their small towns and states where he has held impressive leads over her. Furthermore, if any individual rakes in over 109 million; can they seriously infer that they know the struggles of the family who for generations have worked with great pride in steel mills and plants throughout middle America. And if this so how come HRC's message has not resonated more with these Americans? Doubt and more Doubt I say when candidates will do and say anything to be elected. More And More lies and misleadings underscore what appears to be a personality disorder on the part of HRC.

A man who came from a single mother on food stamps, had everything against him in life, just paid off his school loans at 46 years old is somehow an elitiest. On the other hand we have Billary making 109 million dollars and I forget the 800,000 they got in their bank account for Bills talks in Columbia. When was the last time she went to shoprite? John McCain's is comes from a very rich family in the beer business. Need I say anymore. Billary represent the power elite make no mistake.

Give it up, Hillary! You have done more than anything else to destroy the Democratic Party, all just to support your HUGE ego. You act like you are entitled to be president; but guess what: you have to EARN it. Your "anything goes" strategy is sickening! You don't care one wit about the future of the party, otherwise you'd step aside and let a true leader take the nomination. I was once one of your biggest supporters, but that's a thing of the past.

I strongly believe that Obama's comment on blue collars across small
town in Us is miss-spoke,it did not come out quite as good as it meant,though the critics might have legitimate claims,but the under-line truth on the "Bitter" word in question remain undeniable.

Kudos to John McCain for not attending this farce of a forum. I wish Sen. Clinton did the same. This was nothing more than CNN again propping up their Golden Boy because of the Wright controversy. What a waste of 3 hours.

She hasn't won yet either. She may not even make it as far as they have. It's a little presumptuous for her to think she is going to even get the nomination.

Talk about elitist ,Sen. Clinton can declare aillion dollar income over 7 years , not go to church and does"nt shoot a gun, what a liar Sen. Cliunton is along with her story of Boseina and a lady being refused healthcare., along with her other mis-spoken statements. I want Sen. Obama to be our next President …….NOT A ELITIST Sen. Clinton that gets caught in all her fairy Tales.

with Hillary Clinton there's the biggest hurdle to overcome for Democrats: LACK OF TRUST IN HER WORDS.

Of course she never sees her own shortcomings. She's a Clinton!!

I am amazed at Sentor Clinton, comments about Obama, being an "elistist" and "patronizing",especially after releasing her tax returns, last week end. Obama, grew up without a father figure, raised by a single mother who had to secure food stamps for her family ,even his grand parents where very limited in monies. Here again she is throwing the kitchen sink ,and they do not stick. Senator,
Clinton is showing despration, listen to all the cheers for Obama as he enter the stage compared to Hillary Clinton. The Clinton, machine is working overtime to win the election and she is turning more people of than on.
I was an avid supporter of Senator Clinton, being a female of 64 years old but, she has lost my vote finally.

HIllary went duck hunting. Watch out for Bosnian snipers!

Um, yeah, Hillary, we remember 2000 and 2004 very well.

Then it was the REPUBLICANS who smeared the best candidate as "elitist." I never imagined that a Democrat would stoop so incredibly low.

The Clinton legacy is finally dead.

I really can't believe Senator Clinton's desperate spin on Senator Obama's words. I truly think she knew that he was not demeanig anyone when he made his comment. But she saw that as an opportunity to take the heat off of her and her husband's support for the Columbian Free Trade Deal, and the $800,000 he was paid.

Obama's comments sounded more like empathy for what people were feeling and what they are going through.

I also am amazed that she would expect us to believe that a person who spent most of his political early years on the south side of Chicago as a community activist and helping people who lived in the projects and is an elitist.

She is the one who earned $110 million dollars over the past ten years, and gave a large percentage of her charitable contributions to her own foundation, The Clinton Library, so who is the elitist. Give me a break.

Very Strange response from Obama. No control on his emotions. Acts like a kid???

Personally I think her attacks are shameful. It shows she will do anything to get this nomination. Anything……She thumbs her nose at Howard Dean and the party leaders who have repeatedly asked for the candidates to not do exactly what she is doing.

Clinton is coming off badly for this attack.

She is a very negative campaigner… and since she is most definitely going to lose she is just trying to destroy the winner.

Scumbag

WHO believes THIS statement: ??

"The Democratic Party, to be very blunt about it, has been viewed as a party that didn't understand and respect the values and the way of life of many of our fellow Americans," she said,

The Democratic party has been down in the pits & dungeons of the american way of life for generations..

Hillary THIS IS A STUPID STATEMENT!

Don't tell me the Democrats are ELITISTS! 'OUT OF TOUCH!!"

Hillary! your mental capacities are diminishing at

WARP SPEED! you ARE IMPLODING!

and the COUNTRY wants to OGLE YOUR DOWNFALL! boo hiss!

What a hypocrit. She must be feeling the heat. How about her hubby and his financial interests, Now we find out the the Chinese goverment if financing the Clinton clan. Who is out of touch? Get out Hillary while you still have a reputation in some quarters.

The last time you used a gun Billary, was to kill the Democratic party.

Obama '08!

Wow, still talking about this. ok, keep talking.

I just want the democrats to come together around the nominee whoever it is. I'm not really a very strong democrat. I understand appreciate republican philosophy and democratic philosophy. There are times, economic, social, foreign policy, when republican philosophy seems better, and other times when democratic phiilosophy seems better.

This is definitely a time where democrats need to win. Republicans were given power and they abused it and lost their way. They need a break to re-examine their values. We need to elect a democrat this year. Either one is fine. I'm voting for Obama, because I think he is vastly superior in many ways to Clinton. But I will hold my nose and vote for Clinton if I have to. I expect Clinton supporters to vote for Obama if he is the nominee, or take personal responsibility for the consequences of electing McCain.

Wow…Al Gore and Kerry….

Hillary, You are out of touch and very toxic to the democrats.
I understands you have no chance of winning and you are just staying to divide the democrats and help McCain.
Obama needs to fight back and bring all NAFTA, Colombia and her financial records and the millions of dollars they gained by supporting other governments have trade deals with the US.

So a former Wal-Mart director for 6-years who is worth more than $100 million dollars and who can't raise money from the little people but instead is financed only by big-dollar donors from Wal-Street is complaining about Obama being an "elitist"?

Yes, it certainly is Silly Season in politics . . . . . . I wonder how many little people from small towns got to use the Lincoln Bedroom when the Clintons were last on the throne?

So now she's not only trying to take down Barack with her Republican talking points, she's dissing Gore and Kerry too. This woman is just too unbelievable for words.

What world is Clinton living in? Many Americans are loosing their houses, jobs, and loved ones in the war and cant afford gas, healthcare, and education. Naturally, people are not going to act patriotic and proud of their government while dealing with these hardships. Instead people turn to God and sometimes react in a negative way.

To have Hillary Clinton and John McCain saying almost the exact same response verbatim is actually rather frightening. If we democrats are to believe Clinton herself is not elitist, then we would have to believe the same thing about McCain. Haha!

Can we say milking this for what it is worth? She speaks of Obama dividing the party but clearly her mission is to severely divide the party if she is not successful in becoming the nominee. The things she is bring up will only add to the Republicans benefit. Hopefully, someone in Hillary's camp is aware of this!

The sad thing is, some people will still vote for Hillary Clinton. Even though she's the elitist! Barack barely made $1,000,000, however the Clinton's made $190,000,000. She should be ashamed! Some people still will not vote for Barack Obama because they never were going to vote for him in the first place. He's a lot more honorable than the Clintons. She can't tell the truth about anything and she has the nerve to call Obama on it, come on people.

Does she think people are STUPID?

He was talking about how people VOTE during economic crises in America.

WHAT IS WRONG WITH HER?

It wasn't just his offensive comments that were wrong, but also the reaction he got from his well connected crowd of rich donors.

They were laughing at all of his insensitive remarks like it was all a big joke. Small town people are proud and should not become the punch line in order to drum up money!!

SHAME on you Barack Obama, SHAME on you!!!!!

I have recently viewed commentary from CNN guests discussing Barack Obama's upbringing in a single-family home, essentially portraying his condition as disadvantaged. How can anyone honestly develop this view while overlooking the fact that he attended an elite private school in Honolulu, Punahou, where tuition has historically been very costly?

This is hardly a kid from the projects. Furthermore, why did Obama choose Hawaii over Indonesia? Honolulu isn't Newark, New Jersey.
It is one of the more desirable cities in the US and one of the most tolerant of mixed-race families.

she is so out of touch go home Hillary

She was not comfortable during this performance. That is because she knows all the lies she has told, and to do it infront of a faith based former made her seem snobby and derisive . This woman is not the right candidate. She will be torn to shred by the Republicans like a duck on those duck blinds she been shhoting on! Give it break lady, you are a fraud

I think Clinton had started playing politics way before this "bitter" comment. I hope that the American people are intelligent enough to realize the idea of a man raise in a single parent home with an average income could be an elitest. Now someone who makes 109 million dollars in ten years,has a normal childhood, and have already lived 8 years of her life in the white house . . . is a different story!

Obama will expose himself for who he really is. This statement about the PA blue collar workers, his relationship with Obama, the statements from Michelle and his goings on with Ayers and Rezko provide us with a window to his soul. Obama did this all by himself dispite the media's failure to scrutinize him at the same level that Hillary's been scrutinized.

I will continue to have faith in Hillary to be our next President.

yeah kerry didn't understand and gore well he just understood tree's
but hillary God yes she understands all of america.
what a phony! pleazeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!

this is getting pathetic

Frankly, Hillary we don't respect your way of lying, you elitist millionaire. Hillary Clinton: The Leona Helmsley of politics is such a fake. Always politicking; even when it comes to expressing faith, she has to get her "hit" in. What a sham the Queen of Mean is. She never looks at ease or comfortable. I guess that's what happens when the lies roll off your lips so effortlessly, but the body language can't deny the real truth about her dishonesty. And on top of it, she puts herself above Al Gore and John Kerry. Hillary you couldn't measure up to either of these fine gentlemen in a thousand lifetimes!!!

It is okay for her to make a mistake, but no one else. The one without sin should cast the first stone. Hillary you should know better. She is definitely the one with so many. Let be honest! Have she been under snipper fire lately.

So, let me guess what's relevant……,Hillary not explaining what "level" she's in "Dante's Inferno" or the bitter comments???? …..Actually is the bitter comments, LOL!!!! I gotta say, me and the boys sure would hope we meet ladies like that……..actually, we do, LOL!!!

Hillary, I was right. I think I just know you a little more…..as for my boy, let's just say that I know what "level" my boy is in "Dante's Inferno"…..

Many Americans are upset with his rude and critical remark. Now that we see him like that……..we are now for Clinton.

All of the sniping that Senators Clinton and Obama are engaging in
is not good for either or the Democratic party. They should stick to the issues that really matter and leave the nit-picking to the media.
Enough and too much, already.

She's such a sleazy politician. She will do and say anything to win.

"The Democratic Party, to be very blunt about it, has been viewed as a party that didn't understand and respect the values and the way of life of many of our fellow Americans," Hillary said.

You got that right, lady.

The Democratic Party sees the American populace as consisting of two groups: those too dumb, too improvident, too ignorant, or too something to take care of themselves, and a much smaller number of those who don't fit into the first group and who, since we're all "equal," must somehow be cheating and therefore must be compelled to surrender their, ill-gotten, stolen, wealth to the first group.

No, that doesn't reflect any great understanding of "the values and the way of life" of Americans. At least I hope not. If it does, if the Democrats are correct that a large fraction of Americans would be content as child-like dependents of a Big-Mama government, the country will not long survive.

Howard Dean, or whoever is in charge of the Democratic party, please shut her up. If McCain wins in Nov., we all have Hillary Clinton to thank for it. She is writing their play-book for them. There has never been a more important time then now, to have a democrat as president. With the war, high gas prices, lost jobs, and all the other problems, that Bush has done nothing about, this should be the democrats year to win. She does not have my best interest at heart, when she is doing, or saying anything to win. She is the one who is out of touch. Shame on you Hillary Clinton for turning on your own party.

BITTER?

NOBODY knows BITTER like YOU HILLARY

You are BITTER NOW and will be MORE BITTER in YOUR OLD(er) AGE

when you fade away in DISGRACE !

You do NOT represent one ETHIC, MORAL or VALUE

that THIS COUNTRY chooses to stand for, support

(except your looney Alheimer's supporters .. who LOVE your scallywagging).

I don't SWALLOW for a moment that Hillary is 'in touch'

she's psychotic and deranged..

Let's get the record straight. Hillary Clinton was brought up in the very pleasant suburbs of Chicago. Her father was a properous fabric store owner. The cabin in PA was a summer home by a lake so lack of heating was no hardship. She had ballet lessons, skated, there was tennis, etc. etc. Get the picture? She went to Wellesley College and then straight to Yale. In the late 80's and early 90's she was named as one of the 100 most powerful lawyers in America. She served on the boards of Wal Mart and TCBY. Barack Obama did not have such a privileged childhood and after college went to Chicago where he worked with the unemployed and disadvantage. He realized that a law degree would make him more useful when dealing with bureaucracy and took time out to attend Harvard where he did extremely well. So after graduating he could easily have got a job with big bucks. He went back to Chicago to keep his promise and continue his work. Shame on you Hillary. You are the elitist. A real little rich girl.

Bitter no!

or should he say people are happy prices of gas are at 4$ a gallon.

PA is not bitter about jobs Leaving

They are the happiest town in the union, even when they are loosing jobs at a faster than average rate.

Hillary the millionair can empathize, that right empathize.

Less than five years ago Obama was in debt over his head

but hillary can empathize The Million dollar 2% person

Clinton's attacks on Obama are doing great damage to the Democratic Party! The Republicans will gain greatly by these tactics!

Clinton said that it is "trivilizing" to call an experience of feeling being loverd by God. Isn't it an insult to human kind? The "feeling of being loved by God" is a common human experience. How can it be "trivilizing?"

She said that the question on Obama's "bitter" comment is "legitment." By her logic, her belittling human spiritual experience is a legitment issue too.

Do we deserve such an idiot "commander-in-chief"? Can she simply leave us alone?

Senator Clinton should refrain from telling these personal stories. I saw her nose growing longer and longer as she spoke about some woman whose son and grandson was murdered. It turned out the son was at the forum and her grandson was home with his mother. My question to Hilary is do you believe the mind, heart, and spiritual soul is the same as the Father, Son and Holy Ghost,?

Sen. Clinton, you can stay and keep trying to destroy our great democratic party. since its allowed, and no one apart from your humble self can throw you out of the campaign. I wish you well in 2016.

I cannot believe she is puting herself above Al Gore. Does that mean maybe Gore is going to go for Obama?

HILLARY CLINTON WAS LIKE A FISH OUT OF WATER ON TONIGHTS FORUM. VERY TELLING!

KNOWING OF GOD AND HIS WORD DOES NOT MAKE FOR A CHRISTIAN, IT MAKES FOR A HYPOCRIC.WHEN YOU DO NOT APPLY IT TO YOUR LIFE.

HILLARY STUBBLE THE WHOLE TIME SHE WAS THERE. NOT MAKING A BIT OF SENSE TO THOSE WITH UNDERSTANDING OF CHRISTIANITY. SHE WAS A JOKE! I KNEW SHE WOULD BE, I KNEW SHE SHOULD NEVER HAVE WENT THERE IN THE FIRST PLACE. GOING TO CHURCH FOR YEARS DON'T MAKE YOU A CHRISTIAN IT'S A KNOWING OF GOD AND ALLOWING HIM TO LEAD AND GUIDE YOU AS YOUR LORD AND SAVOUR, A YEILDING ONE'S SELF TO HIM AND HIS CONCEPTS. HILLARY LIFE DOES NOT SHOW ANY REFLECTIONS OF THIS! THERE WERE DEMONS IN THE TEMPLE EVEN WHEN CHRIST WERE THERE. COMING AND SITTING COMFORTABLE UNTIL THEY CAME IN CONTACT WITH CHRIST. THERE'S DEMONS IN THE CHURHES NOW!

GOD'S WORD LET' S US KNOW THIS IT SAYS THE SEPARATION OF THE WHEAT AND THE TARE WILL TAKE PLACE IN GOD'S TIMING SEPARATION OF GOD'S CHILDREN AND SATAN'S, ALL MIXED TOGETHER EVEN IN HIS HOUSE.

DON'T TRY TO MISINTERPET THE WORD BY SAYING DON'T JUDGE FOR HIS WORD SAYS WE ARE TO WE ARE TO KNOW THEM BY THEIR FRUITS! IN NO WAY ARE WE TO BE BLINDED BY THEM.

HILLARY MAYBE YOU SHOULD HAVE SOMEONE READ MORE THAN ESTER THE INDEPENDANT WOMAN TO YOU.

DISGRACEFUL!

Hillary accuses Barack of patronizing and then spends the entire evening patronizing religious people and lying about herself. She will do and say anything to be elected. What she says has no relationship to what she does.

It's really apparent how the media is walking on eggshells when it comes to Hillary. Her campaign's constant cry of victim and gender bias has everyone running scared, and they are going out of their way to not offend her.

Instead, they are taking it out on Barack, criticizing his every word.

Here's the proof of biased media:
Hillary says she 'mispoke' about her life being in danger from sniper fire and the excuse is accepted;
Obama says he 'mispoke' about the government leaving people bitter, and the media still says he has yet to explain himself.

The media has yet to truly vet Hillary during this campaign- Lord knows she has so many REAL issues that are hard to hide. I think the media knows this but chooses to go soft on her because they don't want to be accused of biasness.

Hillary is correct!!

Gore , Kerry and Obama are the same. They are losers.

Vote Hillary!!

Hillary!!!

Senator Clinton should refrain from telling these personal stories. I saw her nose growing longer and longer as she spoke about some woman whose son and grandson was murdered. It turned out the son was at the forum and her grandson was home with his mother. My question to Hilary is do you believe the mind, heart, and spiritual soul the same as the Holy Ghost, Father and Son?

I've lived in PA for over 50 years and have talked to a number of people here, and so far no one has been offended by Obama's remarks. It is really a non-issue that is being exploited for political gain. Obama's analysis may not have been perfectly accurate but it was not far from the mark. However, it will take more than a two-week visit to understand small-town Pennsylvania and its customs and traditions.

GO HILLARY !!!
Obama will not win due to his radical comments and radical friends – his background & judgment are too questionable to be elected President of the UNITED States.

The Good people of PA will decide to vote for obama – or – NOT!

OBAMA IS ARROGANT!

I hope somone will ask Kerry and Gore to respond to Clinton's comment about them.

She who is without sins cast to first stone!

How quickly we forget our lies and cheat of the public trust.

How do we remember the suffrage we suffered as we vacationed at our lodge by the lake.

How do we remember what we suffered by eating the most expensive of foods and drank the best of wines. Nay, this is not elitism but the example of an everyday American life.

This woman, Hillary Clinton, is so petty. It's just so pathetic. She makes me sick , honestly. Obama never hammered her on her Bosnia lies and her top most advisor meeting with the Columbians on trade aggreements she claims to oppose and support by her husband(even made thousands of dollars out of it) , even though they were issues that Obama could have exploited to his advantage.

What Obama said is a reality and human nature. You take consolation in what you know wont disapoint you. When Bill was in crisis for the Lewinsky saga. What did he do? He invited religious leaders to help him. In other words he(Bill Clinton) turn to his faith.
It's the same analogy that can be drawn from Obama's comments. When people lost their jobs because of these trade aggreements and feel like the Governments is not listening to them, they take consolation in what they know wont dissapoint them…pets, faith, hobbies etc. May be the word "cling" is what he shouldn't have used.

Hillary would probably say the same things that Obama said if she had a chance….Right now she is just trying to gain election points.

I'm not fooled.

hurray! more distractions from actual issues! you go hillary!

She's a pig.

I believe Obama came away as the most credible and fomidable opponent tonight. He unveiled a bit of himself tonight and actually gave the audience a peek of what lies beneath. I think it would be beneficial to his campaign if he would uncover the veil a bit further.

Hillary acted like she knew her days are numbered! It was so obvious she looked and talked so uncomfortable during the whole time! Hillary is such a divisive and deceitful person.

Hillary is UNELECTABLE! The Clintons will for sure drive out people to vote against her!

Is the DNC listening? She's insulting ALL OF US!

Hillary never gives a straight answer……she dances around the question and goes completely off topic……you start to think… what the heck is she talking about???…….On the other hand Obama was straightforward, concise and very informative. There is no doubt he will be an honest and hard working president for all the people.

And it really seemed canned and out of place. Sort of like her jokes during the debates – preplanned and forced.

Also drawing connections between Obama and Gore might not be the best idea as most Democrats highly respect Al Gore and he is a respected party elderstatesman. Kerry on the other hand, I could see that as an insult in that even Dems were turned off by his stuffiness and held their nose to vote for him.

Hillary and Bill have made 109 million dollars since they left the White House, Hillary's husband and campaign manager were both lobbying for the Columbian Trade Deal. Who's out of touch? Oh, and Hillary did support NAFTA, she called it a 'great achievement'. I heard her.

It is evident that Obama does not respect the small town way of life and that is pathetic. The longer he refused to apologize and states that his thinking is WRONG then the longer this issue will linger…. Now it is being reported that the crowd was laughing when he made the "bitter" comments and he was stating this as a joke and then he said more insulting stuff. He is racist!

I'm sorry but he has insulted not only people in Pennsylvania, but small town america everywhere. We hunt, we fish, we go to church and guess what we are not bitter…..though I will say, when he goes to his church…..those "typical" black people that he is listening with sound kind of bitter. The problem with all of these misstatements is that time and time again they sound like he thinks he is better then everyone else…..and then "his wife is just recently proud of america" It sounds to me like they don't even like America and who americans really are!!

I watched the whole thing and Barack was JUST MARVELOUS –
Hillary NOT IMPRESSIVE. You can tell Barack is spiritual. I like his explanation of the issues he was asked. Could not have been better.

"Clinton has told interviewers that she has felt the presence of the Holy Spirit on many occasions, and that she believes the resurrection of Christ is a historical fact…"

A historical fact?! You know who else thinks this – and has consistantly brought it into his policies?

George W. Bush.

…A historical fact?! It's a question of FAITH, not FACT, you idiot! By saying the resurrection is historical fact YOU are being ELITIST – that implies that Christ is the savior and every other religion is WRONG!

I really hate double talk… we've never heard Hillary speak of guns or religion and now that they've come up, she suddenly has a story about learning to shoot guns as a young child and feeling the presence of the Holy Spirit on multiple occasions?

…Hello?! Is anybody HOME??

oooo taking a shot at al gore? i wonder how mr. gore will take that….maybe cause him to endore obama? we already know that he felt the clintons cost him the election in 2000 but no reason to take shots at that man.

Elite and elitism is different.

Obama is just not well informed.

Hillary is right. Democrats need to live up to their name.

i am a white lady in arkansas, and i was in mo, last night, watching the local news channel, and HILLARY was boosing it up with a lot of men in a bar, drinking crown royal and i must agree with the news people she held her licqure very well like some one who doen a lot of it. i wish she could run a desent campaign, she has totally turned a lot of people against her, me included. hillary if you must drink do it in private but you can't hide it from god, he is watching you drink, lie, run down your fellow democrat, SHAME ON YOU, and how about yor preacher going to prison for child abuse,
hillary get in church and get cleaned up

Why did nobody ask them there views on the dead penalty in relation to faith,and why is the USA is the only western country in the world how hold such judgment.

1. Gore won the election.

2. Kerry was beaten by a man descended from New England aristocrats.

3. Go Obama! Watch out for sniper fire!

Todays quiz:

Candiaite A campaigns hard in all 50 states.

Candidiate B just focuses on a few large "important" states and says the rest of the country "doesn't matter."

According to Billary logic, Candidate A is elitist.

Clinton wishes she could say that she's the better candidate and be able to believe it…but she knows she's just out to win at all cost. It is time in this country that we actually look to change things in positive ways and take responsiblity for ourselves. Stop the blame game…stop blaming teachers for all things that go wrong with children our children…stop blaming each other for our own mistakes….Let's face it…we as a generation and country have failed our children and our country. Greed and power need to be replaced with a true vision, with all of America working together for a better America. Barack Obama is the person for the job. He's the only one with vision, who can put the right people in the right places and who inspires Americans to think beyond themselves and begin to care for each other once again. Obama '08 and America for ever!

Give me a break….you don't think Sen.Clinton has baggage that the republican can use against her if she wins the nomination?!?!?!!!!!!

On what grounds can she critisize Obama for being an elitist? She acts like a spoiled brat. She supported NAFTA. Her husband and chief strategist support a trade pact with Columbia. She's made $109 million. She had a more than comfortable childhood with a summer home in Scranton. She's the least credible candid since George W. Bush. Add to this the whole sniper fire story and the fact that she planted a question at one of her own rallies, and it makes no sense why anyone would vote for her. Plus, Obama was right. People are bitter and upset and cling to things that they can count on, like guns and religion. This is a historical fact.

Did she really just slam Gore? Okay about Kerry, but Gore? Isn't it Democrat dogma that he won that election. And to say that voters concluded that he didn't "frankly" respect the American way of life??!!! This is big news. Forget the manufactured Bitter-gate.

Why is there a double standard here. When Senator Obama speaks and uses his words not the way he intended, yet truthfully, he is this elistist and he is turning his nose up or looking down on people. He is painted as a man that cannot win this race and shouldn't win. It's played over and over and over again and he is slamed constantly. The MSM is never satisfied with his honest answers, He has to explain more. Why? It will never be enough

When Hillary out right lies to us she is treated so timidly. Oh she misspoke. That is okay for everyone! Senator Obama truly misspoke and everyone is treating him as if he committed a crime.

The reporter ask her about accepting that $800,000.00 and Senator H. Clinton laughed and crabed her head and nothing is said any more. Why isn't she asked and MSM treating her the same way as they are treating Senator Obama about the NAFTA and Crafta deals they know she is heavliy involved in. Is the treatment of Senator Clinton's imperfections okay because she is a Clinton. This makes her more of a credible candidate? I don't understand, will someone explain this to me .

Obama's father left when he was 2. Raised by a single mother and grandparents, and used food stamps. Worked in south side of Chicago trying to help poor communities.

Clinton used to travel to a summer cottage as a child and played pinocle. Became a lawyer and now is a multimillionaire.

Who is the elitist in this scenario?

Hillary is the one who is extremely condescending and patronizing to her own followers, trying to tell them they are not bitter. Guess what, Hillary – people ARE bitter, and Obama is able to see it, and feel it, and he will work to help us. All you care about is your precious 'legacy' and 'Clinton empire'. You have no idea what life is like for real people. You have lived in a bubble for the last 20 years.

110 million makes you elite… sen. clinton can ry to spin it, but she is elite, and surely part of the royal family. limos, fancy hotels, $3000 suits, etc. She never was in touch, unless you can remember the moment she ducked the cannon fire during her landing of a B-1 bomber in bosnia.

All obama does lie's to us all and a lot of people fall for it I know I was one of them because I had voted for him, and all he does is lie and a racist, just think if it was Hillary that said that he would go after her big time please people vote Hillary or vote McCain but not the racist obama.

I'm bitter that so many Americans are so insipidly "stupid". To vote for people who say they care about them and then do nothing, absolutely nothing to help Americans. Higher gas prices, losing your home, the rich getting richer, and I could go on… yeah I'm BITTER paying $300.00 + a month for gas.

But truthfully, I laugh. And I say to those of you who want to support people who in the end will only care that their cronies get rich, go ahead and vote for them. You get poorer, you lose your home, and you continue to pay high gas prices while those "so" called caring candidates who think people aren't "bitter" will continue to do the same thing over and over again…. Maybe if the Clintons get back in the White House they can charge a double rate for the Lincoln Bedroom and hopefully help home owners, but don’t hold your breath.

I live in middle America and I am bitter. High gas prices, food, healthcare, prescription drugs, lost jobs, homes lost. Yes I am bitter.
Yes, he probably should have explained that people has reason to be bitter. Would it have been spun any differently if it had been said in an open forum or in Pennsylvania? Probably not. People are looking for anything he says to pick it apart. Clinton should have little to say as she out and out lied. He just told California how much of America feels. How can she explain her faith and justify her lie?? Were we better when President Clinton was in the White House? Yes, but then the scandal of him and Monica and the cigar won out.
By the way, I am very educated, over 50 and own my home. So does that make me blue collar?? But, I am also bitter as to how the economy is the worst it has ever been in my life. Senator Clinton has no idea of how I live, what my faith is and therefore does not know what my values are. Who is she to jump on this band wagon as after all, it was not a Lie.

Dear CNN
My name is Andy I heard Mrs Clinton and Mr Obama
speak tonight on cnn about faith and I beleave that
Mrs Clinton done better than he did and I feel that
she would be the best one for President .

Your friend Andy

She hit that one right on the head. Smart response, Hillary. Obama has no excuse for his comments.

And Hillary doesn't represent the views of most Ameriacans – only rhe media "elites" anad those who are duped by them. Sorry CNN, but I think that is largely the truth.

Did Clinton just say that Obama is a political loser… just like Kerry AND Vice-President Al Gore?!?

Nice job of portraying Al Gore, the most accomplished of the non-president superdelegates, as a weak former candidate. (No wonder Obama threw in that mention of "I think Al Gore won.") The DNC members must loooooove that!

Looks like someone better get Hillary another boilermaker!

Well, finally the primary is OVER after her remarks on Gore and the democratic party.

How can democrats now support her when she claims that the democratic party is a "party that didn't understand and respect the values and the way of life of many of our fellow Americans,"

Democrats, c'mon, you know much better than this………

Senator Clinton, you did GREAT this evening!

Go Hillary!!!

"You have my vote…"

What a jerk! I thought Hillary was PROUD to be "on stage" with Obama.

Hillary is absolutely right. Obama has opened himself to the Republican machine's characterization of him as not only an arrogant, condescending elitist, but also as unpatriotic and even un-American through his relationship with Rev. Wright. I don't see that Obama has a prayer to win the General Election.

Even many Democrats believe both those characterizations of Obama to be true.

Get a life lair you will soon be bitter after Barack knock you out of this race. At least you have a good job. Unlike all those poor bitter people who don't hav a job and con't afford to pay their bills.

Obama should campaign. On Hillarys Bosnia lies…..lies….lies as hard as she is on his bitter remarks

I was wondering and wanted to ask… since Hillary Clinton is a Methodist and her husband is a Baptist, does it cause any problems between them?

Obama blew Clinton away in that faith forum, plain and simple. Obama is going to win PA because he is real , and understands every day people's problems , Clinton and Mcsame are so out of touch.

Go girl ,keep pounding him ,he is fragile, he will breal.

Obama is telling the truth. Clinton's the one with the elitist & patroning attitude.. Billy & Hillary are completely out of touch with main stream American

In re: to Clinton's comments on "…two very good men, and men of faith, run for president in 2000 and 2004″, and how basically the electorate didn't get it. I really didn't get how her husband, our president at the time used the Oval Office, with Ms Lewinsky, in a degrading shameless and disrespectful manner to his electorate. Additionally betraying Hilary and his daughter with blatant disregard. How Hilary can speak about 'The Democratic Party, to be very blunt about it. has been viewed as a party that didn't understand and respect the values and the way of life of many of our fellow Americans.' I WONDER WHY?

We have heard enough of the "bitter word" I am not over the Bosnia lies yet.

If you can't win democrats! how can you republicans that dispise you so much???

It is amazing to me that someone who just made 100 million dollars last year can accuse of all things, an african-american male, born of a single white female of being an elitist. Senator Clinton doesn't believe what she's saying and hopefully those who think will not believe her either!

Go Obama!

What exactly is she saying here? She's demeaning Al Gore, John Kerry and comparing Obama to them? Where are the Superdelegates……get her out of there NOW!

Her last statement makes no sense either….referring to Al Gore and John Kerry…..that they were "men of faith" but really didn't understand, relate to, or frankly respect their ways of life……what in hell is she talking about? She makes no sense at all. Does she think she somehow is the Mesiah and suddenly very different?

What a bunch of lies, lies, lies. No NO NO

CLINTON IS CORRECT.

YOU ARE TAKING THINGS OUT OF CONTEXT, GET OVER IT, MOVE ON. PEOPLE ARE BITTER ABOUT THE ECONOMY, THE WAR.
IAM SO BITTER AND OBAMA IS SPEAKING THE TRUTH. OBAMA SPEAKS FOR THE AMERICAN PIPO, AND IF YOU DONT THINK SO THEN YOU ARE FOOLS.

Al Gore might describe his loss a bit differently and take offense at how Hillary Clinton described it. Basically he was robbed.

she has attempted to make an issue out of no issue. the whole thrust of his comments were empathetic toward the frustrations that many americans experience. that the media abets these red herring attacks is despicable

Obama has really managed to "spin" this away from the reality that his remarks were made in answer to a question from the audience at the upscale fundraiser in Marin County as to why he was trailing in Pennsylvania. In essence he answered by blaming the Pennsylvanians and describing them in the demeaning way that he did. This is a much worse deed than what he is portraying it and speaks directly to an issue of character. How far will you stoop to gain favor with the "big shots" and will you throw the "little guys" in Pennsylvania under the bus? The answer is yes, in this case and runs completely contrary to who he says he is. He should count his blessings that he has managed to divert most people from noticing this important aspect.

Not only an Elitist but a Demagogue as well !!

I am so tired of Hillary Clinton, or should I say, The Clintons, acting as if they understand the common people. First we have Bill who claims to understand black people. Wrong! If Clinton understood black people he would have not made the dumb comment that Barack only "won the southern states because he is black". That offends black people and so Hillary lost votes. Now we have Hillary trying to state that Barack has offended the rural people of America by making comments that they "cling to their guns and religion." How can the truth be offensive? Although guns and religion is the way of life for those in the rural areas, it does not rule out the fact that many, not all, are BITTER. Barack has apparently met people who have displayed these attitudes! It is not a mockery at their way of life, it is a reality for many, not necessarily all. They cling to their religion for hope that their lives will get better while a gov't spends millions on a war. This is not exclusive to the rural people; it is true for urban America as well. why is there violence in the inner city? Bc people have lost hope and the gun is a tool that is misused for an expression of anger, and we have those who cling to religion to replace their bitterness with faith. NO, the Clintons DON'T understand people in America. The Clintons are out of touch!!

Amen sister!

Hillary, give it up already. You and everyone knows exactly what he meant. That is unless you'd like to explain how you avoided sniper fire and then didn't after it was found out by CBS, and that you had "misspoke" a.k.a. lied, after your wonderfully orchestrated story about being in Bosnia.

Yeah, I can see how you, a Democrat, calling Obama's remarks elitist and patronizing will help the party when Republicans call his remarks elitist and patronizing.

Go Away Hillary!

Hillary will say or do anything to get elected. To call Obama an elistist is so ridiculous, it will surely come back to hurt her. Obama grew up in a single mother's environment, did not have a summer cottage to go to, worked hard, and did not make 101million dollars over the past 8 years. Who really is out of touch, a liar, and an elistist…I think we all know the answer to that. Please no more Bush nor more Clinton's. Vote Obama everyone

I think Obama hit it out of the ball park .

and some of you want one of these two whiners in the W.H. answering a phone at 3 a.m.?

Why don't you ask the workers at the York pepermint patty plant in Pa. if they are bitter about having thier plant shipped off to Mexico?

Wow — she's GOOD.

Clinton's comments get to the heart of what was REALLY offensive about Obama's statements. It wasn't that he called some people "bitter", it's that he stereotyped an entire segment of the population in a demeaning manner.

He is an arrogant elitist — much worse than Kerry!

I think Hillary Clinton has unfortunately crossed the line.
She is divisive, and twists words at ever turn. This latest attack
has no other purpose but to forward her own candidacy
by tearing down Obama by deliberately distorting and taking his
remarks out of context in order to insult people , anger people.
And she calls HIM divisive!! Hypocritical and cynical and down in the
gutter.

Now she throws Gore and Kerry under the bus. She is NOT for the democratic party, she is for herself.

Amazing… she'll even go to a Christian forum and be dishonest. She knows her elitist argument is a stretch and yet even under the pretense of God she will sit there and push her dishonest agenda.

Just last night she's knocking back a shot of Crown Royal wth a beer chaser for the camera's, but tonight she's a friggin' nun. Don't get me wrong, I don't have a problem with drinking, but the hypocrisy is astounding.

I'm surprised she doesn't spontaneously combust when she goes anywhere near a church or the subject or God.

BOSNIA……Hill did you forget?

NAFTA Did you forget you and Bill are part of it?

Fire Penn the free trade king

I think Hillary told a fib on Sunday, wow!!!

Please someon stand up to this family…………..where is the DNC and leaders when needed, someone needs to tell them, enough is enough, so many lies, so many double standards, it is very sad……..
in good faith I could never vote for another Clinton………….

Rethoric is the best thing Obama can show. If he makes mistakes with that too, what can you expect of him as president…. Que Dios nos coja confesaos'. ON HIS OWN WAY OBAMA IS ANOTHER W. BUSH… LOST OF NOISE BUT NOTHING TO SHOW…
Be careful fellow Democrats, do not make the same mistake Republicans made by electing a man of "values"; look where that has taking this nation.

Hillary will take care of business for America.

I am very saddened that Hillary Clinton will continue to criticize Barack Obama about a statement that he made about unemployed rural workers are bitter about their loss of jobs,health insurance, retirement benefits, etc. which is true and many voters have blogged and agree with obama's statement.
Hillary Clinton has demonstrated that she will polorize the country not unite it as Obama will do as president. Hillary is a rich, priviledged female and cannot understand the trials/tribulations of struggling workers who have lost their jobs due to Nafta that happened during her husband' adm.

Hillary , let's unite the party,. not polorize it which will benefit the Republican party;

Hillary going duck hunting to help feed america

The two good men who ran for Presiden in 2000 and 2004 are really good men.
The person in 2000 did not lose – He won.
The person in 2004 lost not because he was out of touch with America, but because he was out of touch with the CLINTONS. They did not want him to win otherwise the lady could not have thought of contesting till 2012.
Maybe by then she would have been old.
But GOD has his strange ways. You reap what you sow.
They never knew that GOD would send Barack Obama as a candidate.

hill 08

Is there anything positive left to say about this woman? Is this what we should expect from a Clinton presidency? Thanks, but no thanks.

Correction:>>>>Al Gore and the 2000 presidency….Sorry, I misspoke…that happens a lot when I am tired!!!

Hillary Clinton once again amazed me with the depth of her knowledge and ideas on every issue she was asked ab out. Obama, on the other hand appeared to ramble on in an effort to explain his faith, as well as once again deny knowledge of the most rabid of Wright's sermons. His eloquence seems to fail him when he has to go beyond the same old speeches that someone else has written for him. Surely the democrats, in this year when they have such an advantage, will not nominate this arrogant elitist loser.

She is unbelievable and will destroy anything and everything in her way. Al Gore under the bus!

respect the key word here. if endeed, Obama was so tactless that admittedly he was not to careful on selecting his words… a blunt lie on his part. come on, being so articulate and at times the know-it-all guy everytime uttering his scripts. give us a break… you dont desserve our attention the next time you visit any of those places you clearly marked as bitter people, communities and churches.
NO EXCUSES MR. SENATOR! you've just turned sour…

Obama is a politicakl panderer and a hypocrite. He should have called his book "The Audacity of Arrogance".

So now she isn't just putting Obama down, but also Gore and Kerry. Bat crazy lady.

Barack spoke with respect.

Enough said.

BO had always been careful of his words . His campaign is all about WORD and inspiration . The real BO is coming out . People will judge him by his words. He is surrounded by negativity of their perception of Americans . I am a naturalize American citizen, always proud and grateful that I am an American .
Bill and Hillary have done good things already on America for decades. Give them credits – BO . ALL you see is negativity .. You still have to prove !!!
Hillary – 08 President !!!

Hillary Clinton is so out of touch. She and Bill Clinton knows nothing about faith and religion and they care nothing about people. People get real, Do you really think people are stupid, unread and unlearned. The people will speak in the upcoming primaries. Keep the lies going. The more you make lies and negative comments about Barack the more people are going to vote for him. He is the only real candidate in the running in the campaign Hillary is a loser and she is hated by so many people. She is disgusting and a liar. The fact that she is going to court in Los Angles for perjury is just another indication of her her dishonesty. Why don't you people report that. The people already know the truth about the Clintons.

All this religion talk has me so disgusted with not only the candidates but the media. Ever hear of separation of church and state? This has NO PLACE in these elections and I don't care about either of their opinions on religion….anymore than I believe Hillary Clinton feels the "Spirit" moving through her. The only "spirits" in that woman are of the alcoholic variety….Crown Royal to be exact.

As for Obama's statement about the bitterness felt by Americans over the state of their world, anyone who denies that this IS the case is either a hypocrite or denial. Of course Americans are bitter! You hear it everyday in their complaints about this Administration and their favoritism of corporations over people, illegal immigrants over citizens and security, global economy over OUR economy and more. How about that Presidential approval rating ? What do you think that says about peoples' bitterness over what has happened to this country.

The media is turning this election into a sham and three ring circus of ridiculousness and vapid fluff. Get back to the issues that matter and stop playing games! This election will set the tone of this country for the next decade at least. It's too serious to be playing "politics" and media bias games between the five media Barons who have a stranglehold on the news outlets.

For Hilary Clinton to ride this guffaw for so long is incredulous! All candidates have private fundraisers these days and she is the one out of touch with real Americans. She is the one who only "comes out to the people" when it's politically expedient. Where was she when it wasn't time for her or Bill to run for an office? Not out talking with the people, working with the people that's for sure. And she's being two faced at the same time. Saying Obama is a GOOD MAN, but at the same time overtly politicizing his poorly spoken thought into puff of smoke. I'd take Obama any day over Clinton as someone who knows more of what it means to be an average American than Hilary! Anyday!

Lying to people over and over and over. Refusing to release donor information. Arm twisting and backroom deals.

Who is demeaning? Who is an elitist? Who thinks she deserves the presidency because she lived in the White House for a while?

Give me a break.

I just had a brainstorm. Why don't we arrange for the vile one – Hillary, and the arrogant one – Cheney to participate in a pheasant hunt. Maybe the people will get lucky and they can have a shootout.

Obama smoked Hillary. He looked like a President. She looked like the petty ^^&*%$ that she has proven to be every time she opens her mouth. Hey Hillary try the tuck and roll next time you get sniper fire.

I've heard it all , ENOUGH Billary about Obama being an "Elitist"..The true Elitist in this is Bill Clinton, the one that never has respected women , DIDN'T RESPECT THE WHITEHOUSE, nor his wife and daughter. No details are needed, you all know where I'm going. Patronizing , that is Hillary, who thinks we are buying her rants and bid for the White House! Now she's wanting the alcoholic vote's, are belly shots next(gross),but desparate she is! How can they counter Obama's statements and how can Bill honestly think that Middle-America is proud as it pertains to Obama's statement. Why would anyone be proud to be broke, proud to pay an Un-Godly amount for gas, or proud of the Bush govt! BILLARY OBVIOUSLY ARE THE ONE'S OUT OF TOUCH WITH ALL OF AMERICA! i won't even start on McLame, or is it McCane. Just ask him what his solution is for the mortgage crisis, end of his run right there. Out of touch, yes Clinton and the soon-to-be retiree.Real soon.

Go away, Clintons.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Senator Clinton agains portrays that she appears that she does not have to answer question about when was the last time she went to church or when she talks about how much she respect hunting and the right to bear arms. But she wants answer question.

Senator Clinton is a lady that has earned her label about how trustworthy she is and how many people I meet who are republican and Independent that says that woman will say anything to get elected. She appears so power hungry that no matter what she has to say and do she will do it to get the power of the presidency.

I believe she is hoping that if she can't be the democratic nominee, that she will do everything she can to sabotage the nominee.

When will this woman just go into a thin air and dissolve?

So now she is telling Obama about the value of faith.

Maybe next she'll tell him how all 50 states matter in an election and we shouldn't rely on just New York and California.

She has no shame or sense of decency.

She had to go first again? Guess he was in the wings taking notes.

He's not a good man, though, and he is both racist and elitist. Other recorded comments of Sen. Obama's at the mansion of Pakistani millionaire Sohaib Abbasi: “When people tell me they’ve all stressed about racial discord, well, you know, try slavery for a while,” is a remark highly interesting for a senator who went to Columbia and whose father came here directly from Kenya and went to Harvard.

Hillary claims that Gore and the Democractic party are elitist and out of touch and that's why he lost in 2000. Why doesn't she run as VP of McCain then?

McCain / Hillary = the new Republican Dream Team

Did anyone see the clip of H. Clinton in a pub today with a mug of beer in one hand and deciding which shot she would accept from the list the bartender offered. She declined the first few suggestions, until her eyes lit up at the suggestion of Chivas Regal. Who is the elitist here. If she were connected to the people and wantd to take a shot to prove it, shouldn{t she have turned to the fella sitting next to her and said, I{ll have what he{s having or maybe I{ll have whatever your best rail brand is.

Right Hillary. And your $109 million is really going to help you relate to all the po' folk…

What do we expect from Clinton, she will do anything and say anything to win. The fact is people are bitter over gas price, health care premium. So please give me a break.

Maybe Al Gore would have had a chance at the Presidency in 2004…How could you expect him to win with what Bill left behind….Monica Lewinski and the impeachment trial, losing congress to the republicans, not going after Bin Laden when the Trade Towers were hit the first time, etc.. Hillary, do you think he really had a chance to win the nominee with all the excapades your husband was enjoyin??? The last line was a good one…Like your husband had any respect for anything…even you!!!!!

In tonight's forum Barack Obama did not satisfactorily explain his statement behind closed doors in San Francisco. He said that people in small towns across America suffering economic hardships and feeling that government is not listening to them cling to guns, religion, and immigration as palliatives or some kind of remedy for their situation. He attempted to address the matter of religion, but where do guns and immigration fit into the picture? In his statement, guns, religion and immigration are all presented as palliatives to those who feel bitter. Obama has to address the entire statement and what he was truly trying to impart to his listeners. So far he has not done so.

You know what ? This story is becoming very old. I knocked on doors in Pennsylvania for Obama yesterday and you know what ? Out of the 500 voters we spoke to, NOT ONE PERSON brought "Bittergate" up.

Give it a rest, CNN. You're out of control and overheated .

This woman is rediculous, what Barack said was the truth and not just for people in Pennsylvania for people all over the USA its not like he lied about being Shot at, but of course Barack could always say he was just sleep deprived when he made those statements or maybe Michelle will come out and say old age is catching up to Barack.

Hilalry–What about the reference to fearing youth in Pennsylvania and calling them "el gangsta." That was a negative connotation to African Americans and Whites as well.

The reason Al Gore did not win was -your husband sex scandal that painted the clean Demo party with stains (blue and dark). Al Gore and Kerry suffered unfairly. Baggages do matter for electability.

Please do compare him with Al Gore. A person that should have won except for dirty politics. mmmm, didn't Al Gore win some sort of a prize?

Did you notice that throughout the interview while Hillary Clinton was speaking about the "bitter" fiasco, Campbell Brown kept nodding in agreement with Hillary ( notice her head bobbing up and down) while she sat stone faced when Obama was speaking about the topic. Just watch the clips. Cnn is very biased.

Obama is a wanna be elitist. His wife has pressured him to run for president because she has benefited financially and socially from his political ventures. He is really just a confused white boy trying to embrace the black culture so that he can fit in somewhere. unfortunately, the citizens of America have already sampled the chaos caused by "elitist" trying to fit in where they don't belong. Obama and his wife, as well as his pastor have wrecked havoc on America and destroyed the Democratic party.If this is allowed to continue our country will be torn apart at the seams. Withdraw Obama. Go buy a pack of smokes and call it a day.

Well Clinton Supporters,
You can have her. If she is what you truly believe in I feel sorry for you too. She is so conniving, and self-centered, it is a waste to even allow her to run for President of the United States of America. She will never represent me on true values and morals. She does'nt have any to impart to anyone. She only wants to get the Clinton family back into the WhiteHouse. Nothing else matters to her. Not Me. Not You.

Go Obama 08!

Clinton came across as ingenuine and hesitant to be open about her faith beliefs. Obama was much more genuine and forthcoming about his beliefs. Clinton was too busy trying to cater to certain voters groups, namely women, blue collar voters, and the Jewish community and less interested in giving genuine responses to the questions asked of her.

Anybody else hear Roland Martin's claim that Obama's daddy left him when he was two and his mom had to get food stamps and then she died and Obama had to go live with his grandmother? From what I've read, Obama's mother had a degree in antropology and she died after Obama got his law degree. So why the lies from Roland?

I think Obama did a poor job in defending his statement about "bitter" remarks. How on God's earth could Hillary Clinton say that Obama is Elitis when she is receiving 1.9 Millon dollar Plus income. Come on CNN you guys are doing a poor job is bringing us the facts. Come their incomes and bring us the facts.

now look people she is great in comparing people. i wounder if we should compare her to her husband . i never done anything with that woman. he lied and so does she.

I am a Clinton supporter but at this time I am truly sick of her negativity towards a fellow democrat and I am beginning to despise them….are you kidding me..this story just friday night and they are already running to the superdelegates to hold this against him…this is the last straw for me…they’ve sunk so low that I cannot in good conscience vote for someone that is this vicious. Her husband and chief strategist are taking money for free trade and the Obama camp hasn’t said that much about..Obama’s camp has mostly stayed out of this huge betrayal…For them to go to the superdelegate already about what Obama said that is justifiable correct is beyond belief…And yes, I and everyone else that I know is BITTER about the way the government has betrayed us. The Clintons has not only lost my vote…they’ve lost my respect…They are the most divisive people in this world and they would rather burn down the whole democratic party than lose this nomination. I’ve given them the benefit of the doubt till now but I am done with them. Just for the record I am extremely BITTER with them now. She is truly the nastiest presidentail candidate that I have ever come across…I mean John McCentury who is a republican hasn’t berated or slammed Obama as much as she has..and she calls herself a democrat. I believe at this time she is throwing all this kitchen sink at Obama because she wants him to lose the GE if he is the nominee so she can run again in 2012 or she is a closet republican. I just can’t stand her and I am ashamed that I ever entertained the idea of voting for her.

You are right on Hillary and well said!

But, Obama used the attack mode when he was asked about his unexplainable comments and put the blame on Mame. No one should criticize his (ill advised) words – they should be lifting up America.

Poor Obama has a defensive streak a mile wide. He needs to just apologize for his bad judgment behind closed doors.

Hillary or McCain 08

The truth to be told !

OBAMA'08 !

What a vile, despicable shameless human being Clinton is.

Barry needs to stop playing games with HRC – need to protect the lead and not let HRC rabbit punch Barry to submission. Always be weary/leery of the 'underdog' – they're biting for survival!

John looking better and better all the time!

If Senator Clinton had verbally been as aggressive with her husband as she is seeking this Presidency ,history would had been written differently in the Clinton's White House historical papers. .

Go Hillary! Barack can't win the big states and he's about to lose another.

I don't know about John Kerry, but Al Gore was the fall guy for the Clintons. Al Gore would have been president if he had not been tainted by Bill Clinton. For Hillary to get him mixed up in Hillary's Kitchen sink insults the sensibilities of those of us who believe that Al Gore paid the prize for Bill and Hillary's many scandals, simply because he did not distance himself from them when it was expedient to do so. I think Hillary should appologize for dragging Al Gore once again into her thing.

We have a president who became bitter after 911, embraced his religion and when to war. We had a Senator, who voted for the war, because of bitterness and had our country pull out the big guns.

Funny how yesterday she is taking a shot to show "US" Indiana people that she is one of us…then she is talking about God Today.. So I guess you think that Indiana and Pennsylvania people are drinkers, so we then are suppose to support you cause you toss back a Canadian drink.. Weak, I am bitter over about this article and your spin on Baracks words seem rather undemocratic!

rs. Clinton, during her efforts to revolutionize the health care industry, said 1993 that under her plan, abortion services "would be widely available." This prompted anxieties over the prospect of taxpayer-funded abortions, sparking the Coates Amendment, which sought to strip abortion funding from the plan.
The first lady allowed for a "conscience exemption" in which doctors and hospitals would not be forced to perform abortions. Pro-lifers were relieved; still, they could not fathom that their tax dollars might be used to find what they saw as the deliberate destruction of innocent human life.
Mrs. Clinton's words also ignited fears among moderate and conservative Christians over the availability of the abortion pill, RU-486, under her health care plan. One of her husband's first acts in office was to push the pill to market through an expedited FDA approval process that was criticized by pro-lifers as allegedly too quick for the safety of the women who would take the pill.

Obama is a n Attorney. Attorneys know how to use words or at least they should. They use words to convey their clients position and use words that are unambiguous in written documents. At least the good attorneys do this. I am one of those that knows exactly what he said and what he was trying to convey.

All the media focused on the word "bitter" which is a little stronger than angry or disillusioned. The problem is the words after that which the media and the academic community will not examine.

Words are used to convey a message. What he said in plain English,
Is that people in Rural America either use Religon or resort to their guns to relief their anger against Society. They also blame others in this case immigrants for their problems.

This is the same logic and rehetoric that brought Hitler into Power in 1936. Hitler used the anger of the German people and channeled that anger towards the Jewish people and other foreignors in Germany, so that they would elect him as their leader. Hitler played on people's worst fears.

Barak and his Church use the same tactics and blame White people and Jews for their social and financial problems. That he used the same tactic with White Rural America does not suprise me.

This is the essence of Marxist=leninist philosophy which eventually leads from Socialism to Communism. Turning the anger towards Washington and the Republcan party is his goal.

WE as Americans of all races and creeds need to reject this leader of the left wing of the Democratic party. WE do not dare go down this road. Although many of us believe we are more than half way there.

Hillary is purposely misunderstanding Obama because she is getting desperate. She knows his real point was that section of the country has been left behind during Bush 1, Clinton, and Bush 3 presidencies. Instead of fighting he on the truth of the matter by saying Clinton worked hard for that section and here is what he did, she is trying to focus on the word bitter and use it against him. Same thing with McCain; why does he not list the things the Rep party has done for small town America as that is the real point. No mater, only those who would not have voted for him in the first place will have an issue with this. Last, is there any way to research if her granddad built that cabin? I bet that is a lie and he bought it or even rented it. I use to think people were being hard and unfair to her calling her Billary and Hiliery, but she is getting as pathetic as others have made her out to be. There is no having a civil discord with her.

shes right the republicans will tear him up on this among many other things.

Amen, GOD don't like ugly on a Sunday Hillary.

You go Obama!!!

I know Hillary. You and your Lying crooked husband are the ones who can relate to us… You and your ill got Millions should just shut up and go home….

now hillary is a grown up compared to obama

It's not important if Hillary goes to church. She tithes: gave millions to the William J. Clinton Foundation.

Way to go, elitist. Oh, I forgot the shot and beer. Nice try. We know you have a hunting license and have used it.

Obama is correct. Go Obama!

Please someone send this 2 to "sunday school" again, if they need to go to summer school, just do it, and without AC.

Obama don't have a clue what is God's Master Plan?????? give me a brake!!!! that why we get baptize, because we understand Gods plan.
Clinton? she should be teach by Obamas mentor…
I very sick of this ignorant candidates.
M.

Hillary attacking Obama on a Sunday. God don't like ugly.

Obama 08!!!!

I think Obama has a right to be annoyed by her painting of his words as "out of touch" and "elitist". Barack Obama chose to become a community organizer and live and work in the South side of Chicago, a choice that few people coming out of Columbia University would make. Barack Obama has acted in a way that contradicts Hillary Clinton's description of him.

TO ALL CNN TICKER LOVERS,

OUR PRESIDENT SHOULD BE AN ELITE INDIVIDUAL HE IS THE BEST MAN IN OUR COUNTRY AT THIS TIME. HILLARY LAUGHS WHEN SHE GETS A HARD QUESTIONS…WILL SHE LAUGH AT 3am WHEN THE NATION CALLS UPON HER. ITS LIKE A DIRTY GAME THAT SHE SHOULD STOP PLAYING…SHE CAN'T RECOVER FROM HER DOWNFALLS OR THE 160 DELEGATE LEAD…BILL RICHARDSON CAPPED THE NOMINATION…BEFORE THESE DIRTY POLITICS I WOULD OF VOTED FOR HER BUT IF SHE HUSTLES THENOMINATION AWAY FROM OBAMA I WILL VOTE FOR MCCAIN…(AND I DON'T EVEN LIKE HIM)

SOLDIERS FOR OBAMA

TIKRIT, IRAQ

Are we ready to accept the consequences of a Hillary Clinton presidency? The old adage "Never underestimate the stupidity of the electorate", comes to mind as the junior Senator from New York continues to lie, make things up, obfuscate, and act as the electorate are so dumb that she can do whatever it takes to win at all costs.
The sad truth is that she has made it this far…

I don't think Obama meant anything by what he said. He was just trying to show how hurt the people of Pennsylvania were by the Clinton administration. I think he meant the people used their religion and hunting sport to sustain them, which my grandparents did. Hillary is trying to move the focus from her. Do not fall for it

Okay why can Hillary answer question directly?
Her husband made $50,000.00 from speaking alone and in 7 years they both have made over $105,000.00 and she said she understnad how it is for people without source of money lives?

Good job, Hillary that is true.

Like to explain Obama?

I agree. We have not had an FDR Democrat run since Clinton. FDR and JFK were very wealthy, but also very intouch with the electorate. Obama is a good guy, but he just does not get small town America. Our faith does NOT come from bitterness!

Hillary…did you go to church on Easter as you claim or did you lie again pandering for votes?

OK, one point to make….in her own words, "….those remarks about some COULD BE seen as "elitist" and "patronizing". But they WASNT until she started running her mouth about them. It is the TRUTH, it seems as though she has a hard time accepting that.

And why is she bringing in other people in her own party that will definitely NOT sway her way when the superdelegates' time come to cast their vote because she basically just called them losers. Does she think she can win this election on her own?

Hillary, go ahead put your foot in your mouth. You have just signed the death of your campaign by demeaning Gore. Watch out for the endorsements start to go the opposite direction.

I hate when CNN uses the words ‘lashes out’ or ‘hits.’ None of the candidates did that. They addressed the ‘bitter’ issue, but they didn’t ‘hit’ or ‘lash out.’ This is how the media twists things and makes the democrats fight against one another. And I find it interesting that the questions Hillary was asked were about religion, but with Obama, they asked him questions about policies. So it now seems like Obama won.

OBAMA was amazing.ironically he was the one being suspected to be a moslem.he seemed.deeper rooted and informed in christianity than hillary.

Whoa…..whoa….whoa Hillary…….Al Gore and John Kerry lost the general election because the electorate thought they did not respect their way of life???? whoa lady, get a grip!! The electorate was hoodwinked by dirty Republican campaigning, followed by stolen elections. Did you forget about the Vast RIght Wing Conspiracy??

Haven't we already seen the surveys and polls to show that most people think – as Obama said – that Gore won in 2000?

Clinton has already over-played her hand on this one. It was a mistake of clumsy words, but the idea was right on target.

My God this woman is such a bad excuse for a candidate. Obama was right at the core of what we all are – bitter- and don't forget America, it began when the Clinton's began gibing our jobs away, an d she is still reping the financial benefits of her husbands supporting Clumbia Free trade. She is disgusting!

Oh Hillary…JUST SHUT UP ALREADY!!!!!!! and go home…It is over for you!!!!! Take a tip from Carl Bersteins 360 story with regards to your whole existance!!! after reading this, there should be no more EXCUSES for you to stay in this race….no matter how you slice it, you will still lose!! It's a shame that you can't be this blunt and speak the truth…the only crap coming out of your mouth is lies….lies,lies,lies….Go home and SUCK down a bottle of your Canadian whiskey and show everyone what a wonderful role model you will make as president…NOT!!!!!

. . ."I will let Senator Obama speak for Himself tonight". Clinton, you're
a trip.

Yes We Can.

i remember fondly Clintons time in office. But the sex scandal overshadowed all his impressive accomplishments, in this modern day age of caring more about scandal than facts or even important things.

Instead of showing 4k americans dead in Iraq, I see what did britney spears do today.

Lets get Hillary into office so women everywhere have a role model.

So what is she saying that you can't be a man of faith and win? Maybe, Bill Clinton won.

Religion is important to PA and you blew it Obama. Your true feelings about conservative democrats comes out.

You will lose the conservative democratic vote bc you are demeaning to us. I cant believe that in november I am going to have to vote against my own party.

TYPICAL CLINTON STRATEGY: BLOW SOMETHING OUT OF PROPORTION THAT OBAMA SAID, DO IT IN A NEGATIVE WAY, AND DO ALL THIS IN ORDER TO GET THE SPOTLIGHT OFF OF YOU AND YOUR HYPOCRITICAL, LYING CAMPAIGN EMPLOYEES (THE TARMAC SNIPER FIRE LIES, MARK PENN NEGOTIATING WITH COLUMBIA FOR A FREE TRADE DEAL, ETC, ETC…). SHE IS SUCH A NEGATIVE, PHONY PERSON AND HOPEFULLY PEOPLE WILL FINALLY SEE THIS AND GET HER OUT OF THE RACE BEFORE THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY'S CHANCES IN NOVEMBER AREN'T GONE AGAIN.

So what church does Senator Clinton attend? She was not asked & did not volunteer that information. Why is that never brought up. I guarentee faith & religion will go much deeper with Obama

Stay on him Hillary. He keeps making these missteps and America will wake up soon enought.

He is just another bitter black man…put it online, on your broadcast or what ever media outlet. He and rev. Wright can go to hell and I don't care a hoot about religion.

Frankly, I feel that Hillary Clinton's statement that she has modeled her campaign in God's image is infinitely more offensive than Barack Obama's misconstrued statement about guns and religion.

I feel it is interesting. Hillary said that she has several time that the holy spirit told her and guided her. That remind me of the incidend of sniper fire.

considering obama was answering a question to his elitist doners on why he wasn't winning over Hillary's doners, he used people being bitter clinging to god, guns, and being biggoted, and because he was black as an excuse.

The elitists in this race are Hillary Clinton and John McCain. Hillary Clinton came into this race believing she was owed and entitled to the office of President of the US. And after voters in state after state told her otherwise, she has run a campaign of smear and attacks worthy of Karl Rove. I hope she loses outright in PA, and that we can very soon put an end to this negativity and infighting among Democrats. She is pure poison to the Democratic party.

This is just what we need! Sadly, Senator Obama gave HRC a week or so to try and smear him with his own words; I understand what he was trying to say, and so do the "small town" folks in PA; he meant nothing negative by it, but of course, HRC has to go on and on and on and on… about it…

Senator Clinton received tough and specific questions about religion and faith and morality. Senator Obama received an opportunity to speak freely and politically.

CNN allowed Senator Obama to falsely state that Jeremiah Wright was NOT his spiritual adviser. SInce when? He was part of his political campaign until the videos emerged.

Campbell Brown rudely made Senator Clinton remain on the stage while Senator Obama walked in and did not allow her a chance to thank the audience.

Hillary has been caught in more lies than any candidate that I can remember in one primary. I am so glad that I my eyes have been open, and the true person has been exposed.
Obama "08″

Yea she attacked him right after in one sentence she said she wasn't going to talk about it. Then after she was done talking her mouth off, she said she wouldn't attack or say anything about it.

Which Democratic party is she talking about? The Democratic Party that championed segregation during Reconstruction? Or the Democratic Party in the pocket of the Tweed Ring for decades? Oh, maybe that isn't fair. That was years ago.

From now on, I'll settle to belittling the Democratic Party of Bill Clinton, and the Democratic Party that hasn't been able to muster sustained opposition to anything.

How can she, as a member of her husband's administration, claim she was in touch with any part of the American population?

Of course, making that claim will make me look elitist.

I HAVE ALWAYS BEEN OPEN MINDED ABOUT THE DEMOCRATIC RACE THIS GO AROUND, BUT EVERYTIME I HEAR HILLARY TALK TRASH IT TURNS ME OFF HER AND MAKES ME LEAN MORE AND MORE TOWARDS OBAMA, TO THINK I NEVER EVEN HEARD OF HIM A YEAR AGO TO ALMOST GOING OUT AND CAMPAIGNING FOR HIM JUST BAFFLES ME. I'VE NEVER FELT THIS WAY ABOUT A CANDITATE FOR PRESIDENT BEFORE, IT ALWAYS SEEMED TO BE WHO'S THE WORST, NOT WHO'S THE BEST. I TRUELY HOPE HILLARY WON'T SPOIL THAT ENERGY JUST TO TRY TO KEEP THE CLINTONS NAME ON THE BALLOT. I WOULD HAVE TO REVERT BACK TO WHO'S THE WORST.

i know u won't put none of my comments on for others to read u never have so i guess i don't have a right of freedom of speech because the way i fell about him and rev. right and his wife are soulders are being killed in the war and they say what they are saying g.d america for get them so oboma isn't going to make it nore rev. wright or his wife

The more I listen to Obama, the more the word B-O-R-I-N-G comes into consciousness.

oboma is trying his best to cover his butt he should know more about the word of God then he does he is a muslem so why should he believe that God did creat the univesie in 6 days and rest on the 7 i don't believe him with him stand by rev. wright and all his saying about america he's rich to so why would he believe the way we as america believe and he becomes president his rev. wright will be in the white house to telling him what to say and do me for one will not help him get there i'll vote for hillary if i have to write her in KNOW OBOMA

"The reason (George H. W. Bush's tactic) works so well now is that you have all these economically insecure white people who are scared to death," ~Bill Clinton

Nevermind!!!

Thank heavens he is firing back at her. And thank heavens someone with a brain (Obama) is running for president. Too bad that Hillary can't compete with that.
