I can't believe how the Media lets the Clinton Campaign set the discourse. Where are their tax returns from 2007? She gave her Campaign 5 mil, where did it come from? What about Bill and his donors and "speeches"? Colombia? And Hillary said words don't put food on the table! What about the 15 mil unaccounted for? Don't let the Clintons tell YOU whats relevant! What is this? Russia?

Hillary and her supporters do not know how to talk about feelings. To help them out, here are other ways to feel "bitter"
Please add these to your vocabs:

1. resentful
2. angry
3. cynical
4. hostile
5. feeling cheated (as Hillary does towards Monica)
6. hot
7. strong feelings

I'm small town Ohio born and raised, I make my bills paycheck to paycheck, and you know what?

I AM BITTER.

The taste in my mouth for "business as usual" Washington politics, is very bitter, and I want something clear, and meaningful to wash away the bitterness. I want a candidate determined to make my voice heard in Washington.

Obama has nothing to apologize for. He was absolutely right.

I am tired of being ignored, tired of being misdirected into wars, cultural battles over different lifestyles, peoples, religions, and being told to keep my eye on those distracting birdies while Washington pulls the economic rug out from under me more and more each day.

Clinton can saw on this all she likes. Her lies have been exposed.

My God. The press actually asked Hillary a relevant question about her "church going, gun totin" spin.

Now they need to ask her if she has ever shot a gun after knocking back whiskey.

You know what, this woman is reprehensible. When asked a simple question about what was her last time with a gun or going to church, she says, "Naw, I don't wanna talk about that. Let's talk about Obama! " Two more lies. Coming from a person who is hopping mad/bitter/angry about high gas prices/gov't corruption etc., we all know what Barack Obama meant. Pennsylvania, lets end this.

Of course it isn't relevant!

Clearly because you went out in the shed once to shoot a gun back when you were 6 and because you go to church a few times a year makes you an expert enough to put Obama in his place or at least chide him a little...

That elitist! He probably goes to church regularly as a way to once again show how much better he is then everyone else!

I agree with her. Sorry Obama blind supporters.

Obama has got to stop with his stupid comments... he is giving republicans so much ammunition, we NEED those republican votes in november, especialyl from FL a state that we are goign to ignore !! He needs to pay attention, Wright was enough, now this bitter comment... I am starting to really wonder if he would be a good president.

It is important to know when the last time Hillary fired a weapon or sat in a pew. If Hillary is go go after Obama for being an elitist liberal, then she needs to prove her blue collar roots and get some credibility. We all know Hillary is big into gun control and probably hasn't seen a regular Sunday service without cameras for decades. She's talking out of both sides of her mouth on this issue and frankly the Obama folks could light her up with this if they had the fortitude. The only problem is Obama is also pro gun control and well, you've all seen what goes on in his "church" so he doesn't have a leg to stand on either.

Well I remember, Hilly. It was in Bosnia, 1996. You were pinned down by enemy sniper fire at the airport. Against all odds you beat a man to death with your bare hands, took his rifle and liberated the entire country!

Sen. clinton is trying to distract voters from more important issues. We really dont care about guns and churches, You go to church or you shoot a gun, all that matters is the purpose and motive of doing so. Whatever happened to the Bosnia sniper firing lies, and the Healthcare-isurance-lead-death lies, I don't know. CNN should bring those news back to remind up-coming voters about the dangers of voting for the wrong person..

How is that irrelevant to the topic?

Once again, Clinton is twisting words, avoiding personal questions, and painting on a facade of sincerity. She is utilizing misleading words to reach out to constituents. Her facades of deceit are growing so old, I can't believe people even see an ounce of truth in her words. How can anyone desire a president who is continually misleading and lying to the public? SHE IS DISASTROUS AND MORE OF A THREAT TO HOMELAND SECURITY THAN AL QAEDA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Mrs. Clinton is ready to puke standing in the yard of these disgusting people. AShe despises these people, but she knows she needs votes like theirs if she wants to win, so she made up these lies about Church, and guns. No Mrs Clinton, we may never be smart as you, but we are not stupid.

What a sad human being you are. You and your husband. Now the whole world is beginning to see thge Mrs. Clinton we have always seen.

Hillary Clinton's Dictionary

misspoken – you caught me telling a lie

Not relevant – I have misspoken, but it doesn't matter

I've been busy – I'm hoping I don't have to.......release taxes, ear marks, my schedule.

Against Trade Agreement – But please give my family money so I can finance my campaign

I opposed the Iraq War – I voted for it because I thought it would help me be present. I don't really care that the state I was representing is in the top three in deaths because of the war!

Every Vote Should Count – unless you voted for someone else then it doesn't!!!

ENOUGH is ENOUGH!!!

Good one, Mrs. Clinton. Point to Al Gore and John Kerry as the problem with the Democratic leadership. That should earn you points.

Sowing division over the fact that people who own guns and attend church can indeed be Democratic voters seems to be Mrs. Clinton's narrative, not Mr. Obama's.

In my hometown, we are drinking beer and stroking our guns in front of a Cross because we are just to angry and bitter to decide who to vote for and why.

So we are betting tha CNN will not post this- the winner will be able to eat something other than game tonight-

I would love to see this America: Where people like Rev. Wright get to preach their doctrine of hate, while their installed president, Obama, strips the people of their guns...

An America where you are called a racist for saying that Jesse Jackson won in SC twice, but are defended as NOT being racist for ranting like Wright does. An America where "sacred?" hatred is the only acceptable freedom of speech.

Where the government will just take care of the poor, stupid people, while the elitist intelligencia decides for you, what is best for you. As they sip their lattes and blog..blog..blog all the livelong day.

An America that bans freedom of speech for those who disagree with Obama and decrees freedom of speech only for members of black liberation-theology churches.

Sounds just like these blogs. Anyone who doesn't support Obama is dismissed as an ignorant idiot. Meanwhile, the truly illiterate who blog for Obama, think they are smart and educated even when they can not formulate an entire legible thought.

I think what Obama said about American's being bitter is right. He hit it on the nose and should not explain anything he said, he was right.
McClain and H. Clinton are the ones who are out of touch with the people and if these two are voted in it is going to get worse.
If you listen to the news when Hillary and Bill say the poeple are not bitter there is a weak cheer in the background. Their own supports have to face the same issues as the rest of Americans. Tthey may be supporting Clinton and Mcclain but they are bring home millions of dollars a year in pay.
The fact of the matter is that I am bitter and i also feel that this administration is ignoring the calls of the people and the same old way of doing things in the this country has got to change. It won't with McClain and Hillary in office next year!

I seems to me that Clinton is reaching far to revive a failing campaign, especially since Obama decreased the spread in the PA polls.
One cannot even talk everyday common language without a Clinton rep somewhere trying to re-define simple words that can potentially hurt either Democratic elect in the fall. Anyone with common sense and good ears would understand exactly what Obama was saying and frankly I am "bitter" with this administration and the way it has been run the last 8 years. I hope fellow Dems will continue to support the most electable candiate to represent us and Clinton will not play her usual game of changing or misspeaking words to suit her own campaign.

“You don’t have to think back too far to remember that good men running for president were viewed as being elitist and out of touch with the values and lives of millions of Americans,” she said. So now she's calling Al Gore an elitist!!! She's definitely become a Republican and seems to be running for McCain's VP. Shame on you, Hillary Clinton.

Wake up America. Bill brought NAFTA, with Hillary in support. Look at the devastation this caused in terms of jobs. Now Hillary says she is AGAINST NAFTA because it's what she must say to get the votes she needs. Yet Bill is now working on free trade with Columbia. And she says he will have no influence on her presidency. So she is our nemesis and saviour in the same breath?

This is a post script to my earlier message. You are holding a discussion about faith as it relates to the candidates this evening. I would question Senator Clinton regarding her faith, when she and her husband have so clearly demonstrated their view that truth is a quality that does not apply to her campaign. I may not remember many things in my life, but I would surely have an accurate memory had I been the target of a sniper. Truth is the underlying foundation of faith for all people. How can her statements be construed as anything but a lie – not a "misstatement", nor a memory lapse.

Hillary cant even answer a direct question, and considers it is
not relevant. She suggests she can answer that some other
time. Nice....otherwise I'll ignore that question.

I do not feel their was alot of furor surrounding Obama remarks.
She is always just throwing things out there, expecting us all
to believe she is the right choice.

Not going to happen Hillary, we know we cant trust you, your
lies, half-truths and so-called misspeaks do speak for themselves
and we do a have a good memory.

Your time is up, and we need to move forward in this country,
you are not the person to do this.

Is this country really so critically atrophied that anytime someone in the political arena makes an astute, uncomfortable comment, or makes any display of intelligence he/she is labelled "elitist?" I mean, really, since Bush is this country really hell-bent on electing people they can feel intellectually superior to? This anti-intellectualism needs to come to an end or the project that we call democracy will really be a failure. The fact that Clinton is jumping on the "elitist" bandwagon and deploying Republican-style politically tactics is, of course, not surprising, but totally abhorrent. We thought we had it bad with George W. Bush's style of politics, well, sadly, fellow democrats, I think we've found someone even worse.

Oh my gosh! I am so sick of Hillary avoiding questions, avoiding ownership of "false memories" -- oops, I mean "misspoken recollections" and downplaying her connection to Columbian $$. Of course she found the religion question "irrevelant!" Interesting, however, that religion is the focus of her recent diatribe against Obama and apparently very relevant. This woman is divisive, dishonest, and delusional. How stupid does she think voters are? Get over it, Hillary. At the bare minimum, quit playing dirty. Your desperation is unbecoming. Hillary's tactics and standard approach to politics is the very reason I am voting for CHANGE. If she were to gain the nomination, my vote will be cast for McCain . I am tired of the same old, same old. Continue taking the high road, Mr. Obama. You are a good example and live the message you are talking about.
