CNN

Jon,

Make sure your sons/daughters and grandchildren enlist in the military. They will be needed for the next war that McCain will wage.

Don't believe McCain for one moment. Obama is in no way an elitist. If you've ever experienced growing up poor, of mixed race, and without your father that abandoned you, an empathy to the poor and disadvantaged would be engrained within you for life.

Shame on you McCain – attempting to profit from a twist of words.

McCain is so old, that he looks like a ghost.

I still can't find anything wrong in what Sen. Obama said..it seems that it is the media who is keeping this going! Is it a slow news day? Sen. Obama spoke the truth, something the other two pandering candidates don't seem to want to do! I have just moved from PA and everyone I have spoken with (including those who were for McCain) say that what Sen. Obama said is right and that they will come out for Obama since it's one of the first times they have actually heard a politician speak the truth! It seems like we are seeing more and more how Sen. Obama has the balance needed to run this country and will tell us what we need to hear!! Sorry, McCain hasn't a chance in this country due to the last 8 yrs. and the fact that he will bring more of the same.

Of course he's fundraising on this. He can't fundraise on the issues, because he's wrong on most of them. He basically wants to continue on with the train wreck that Bush has given us for the past seven years and counting. No thanks!

Never OBAMA!!!! -- NOBAMA for all the "WRIGHT" reasons

I'm sure Senator McCain is praying every night that Senator Clinton wins the Democratic nomination because I'm sure Senator Obama won't be as forgiving of him as he has Senator Clinton. He will tear him to shred in a debate.

Obama himself is a bitter,angry,and frustrated arrogant man.You only have to go back on a lot of his statements and demeanour and you will see an ignorant bloke with nothing to offer.

McCain has it right. He knows how to effectively run this country.

McCain 08
Clinton 08

300 million Americans and these three are the best we can do...

Rather sad, really.

I am disappointed in Senator McCain who promised that he was going to run an "honorable" campaign. Now here he is joining in all the hoopla about a statement that Senator Obama has explained and in fact, many Americans have resonated.

Wait a minute!! McCAin and Hillay used the same word. Looks like somebody has the same strategy.

Obama supporters you sound like a recorder "If this is the best you got."

The Wright story was the only thing I needed to change my vote and I'm not even White.

Mccain is going to be very bitter come November when he loses the election

Id rather have an elitist than a warmonger

Thats what the Americans will vote on. I hate to turn to the news and see fallen soldiers over this mess of a war

Send out troops home!!!

McCain's day is coming – I can't wait to see him in a debate. There will be no one there but him to HELP HIM and the world is going to see just how old and out-dated he really is.

I would be very careful about bringing this up too often. Hillary brings the "bitter" episode up every chance she gets, and now even Democratic audiences are starting to boo her!

It's not just the recent comments to a bunch of rich people, Obama and wife Michelle have shown a new money elitist attitude this whole campaign. Some of us have been paying attention and remembering.

I believe that most of mainstream America is fearful of failure of the government and not knowing what to expect in the future. Therefore I do not believe the Obama comment about guns and the Bible are meant as an insult. I think that anyone who is really in contact with the American people would realize this what real fear is out there. I am sixty-seven years old and these are the most stressful and disturbing time I can remember. So I think the real elitist is the one who doesn't realize this.

Obama was spot on with his comments. I grew up with the mindset of guns, religion, antipathy (dislike) toward those better off or different, and an anti-immigrant sentiment. Then I grew up and became a rational, educated adult. Growing up and living in rural PA, you'll see exactly what he meant.

so Obama made a wrong choice for his words. His message is right on.... the entire country is bitter at the current administration and McCain or Bill's wife is not the answer. It also really bothers me that Bill got 800K from Columbia for a speech... give me a break. If she is elected, he is on the hook for the trade agreement. Vote for Obama and lets get all this mess in DC cleaned up!

The medias have power & responsibility. They chose the power to manupilate over responsibility. They'll reap what they sow.

Obama is definitely not an elitist, otherwise he would have never have made the comments he did. His campaign and his religion have become a farce over the past month and a half, and I thank the media for bringing it to the surface.

All of this is getting so pathetic….you guys know that Hillary and Obama have the same ISSUES…you know, those things that matter….I'm an Obama supporter, but by principle I will vote for Hillary if she wins…why? because this isn't a beauty contest…it is about the issues…not this stupid bickering.

Obama hit the nail on the head when he said people are bitter, unfortunately they are also apathetic, I think that goes hand in hand. Hopefully they will see a chance for change and vote.

I hope all you right wingers fear change, because that's what is going to happen come January 2009. You would be naive in believing Hillary's criticism toward Obama has lessened his supporters. It has only strengthened them in believing, we won't stand another four years with a "hawk" or another Clinton. Face it, your time has fallen.

I agree that some of us are bitter. But I don't agree that "clinging" to gun and religion is a sign of bitterness!!

Obama did not know what he was talking about!!

I don't want someone to mock my religious belief!!

Give me a break...talk about making something out of nothing. Oh, and I'm sure, McCain won't forget them...he'll just get confused and call them Ohioans instead.

I guess if that is the only way McCain can raise money, it just proves how "much" all his supporters like him! Let's see how many of them turn out in November!

This is just the beginning. Obama is not electable. Obama is a superficial candidate. Most of supporters know nothing about his positions. The Republicans always try to define the Democratic candidate as not patriotic and out of touch with the mainstream of America. Obama has fed into this with his own "bitter" words and his own Pastor's anti-American sentiment. The Republicans will not pull any punches. Hold onto your hats, it is going to be a bumpy ride.

What are you talking about McCain? It is true that most Americans lean towards faith and other things as a means of getting through desperate times. That's what Barack was trying to convey. In no way did Obama suggest that he didn't understand or agree with the actual reasoning behind it.

And you say Obama is wrong???????????? The Poor just got taken advantage of my McCAIN!!

Mccain will win big in november and unite the country....

I am from a small military town, and YES, I AM BITTER!! Bitter that McCain won't even talk about an end to this war. McCain is worse than Dick Cheney. McCain can't even stand up for himself. And he wants to be president. PLEASE!!

Obama!

Its either HILLIARY or JOHN McCAIN for President..... Obama your children need you at home !

I am sorry did I miss something?
I thought Obama was agent of change and hope.
What happened to your “ Yes we can”? You can with what? Bitterness and looking down on people?

People all over the world are supporting Mr.obama for president of the great United States of America. I think he will unite the world on one common issue: survival
Obama,we love you.

Enough already Obama!! The rock star needs to fade. Let the only viable contender beat the Republicans already!

The bitterness Obama feels is a direct result of the victimization message he has been hearing from his pastor for the last two decades..

I THINK MC CAIN'S STRATEGY DOES NOT WORK AT ALL AS WELL AS HILLARY..SHAME ON YOU HILLARY AND SHAME ON YOU MC CAIN.

OBAMA OBAMA OBAMA FOR PRESIDENT 08

i think the attention of Obama's remarks shows two anxious and fearsome canidates Clinton and McCain. I am a replublican but with these immature come backs has convinced me of supporting Obama

Sorry, just out of interest – why is CNN simply reprinting McCain's talking points? This isn't news. The 'bitter' comment was news, but this is just crappy journalism.

It's frightening that so many voters are eager to berate the truth when it comes to the forefront.

It breaks my heart that the love affair of the media and others has allowed Barack Obama to capture so many votes. I believe that had the early states known about Rev. Wright Obama would never have won those states. Now, he has more than 40 million $$$$ to sling mud at Senator Clinton. Many of us who are strong Democrats will never vote for this man in a general election. Democrats will go down to defeat again.

Looks like old John's as out of touch with reality as Clinton. These people are living on another planet. We the people will give them a taste of bitter all the way to the White House.

Obama will be our next President.

Instead og attacking Obama, why doesn't he go out and talk about the economy. Oh! I forgot, he knows nothing about the economy. So why not speak of something that will divert attention from his lack of knowledge.

I find it hard to believe that Obama is being labled an elitist by two people who have incomes like McCain and Clinton.

Please give me a break!!!

It didn't take the comment about small town America that made me believe Obama was an Elitist, it was Oprah.

So speaking the truth is a bad thing? 81% of Americans believe the country is heading in the wrong direction. Should we be proud of that? Someone who is elite by definition is someone who is the best at what they do and has an high intellect. That is a person that I want as my president!! We have had almost 8 years of an dimwit running this country.

John McCain has faith that small town people will not see him and the neo-republicans for who they are.If he is so in touch or his party is so in touch why have they not kept jobs,reformed trade policies,or even taken the time to come and here some of your small town concerns.Oh,I forgot your concerns are psychological and you need a shrink,not a President For The People.Somebody please help!!!!!

Look at Obama's elitist face in the very picture of this article.

Can't stand the guy.

The very first day this all started and the Clinton and McCain campaigns put out official statements I couldn't help but notice how almost identical they were. Makes you wonder why...something stinks in Denmark.

Hillary better be glad she is running against a candidate who does not go negative. Don't be fooled, we all know what a campign in the fall against Hillary would look like. They have been awaiting on this for years. This why McCain is trying to make sure Obama does not win, because, THE REPUBLICAN KNOW THEY CAN BEAT HILLARY, BUT NOT OBAMA

Dems Unite

I am bitter also. And I think his comments were truth. They were taken out content.

i think obama said what people think but dont say, i know myself iam bitter but i dont say anything because it seems to not help. i think their is a lot of people who feel the same way. iam not bitter at him for speaking the truth.we need someone who knows how we feel. thank you for speaking the truth.

All three of these candidates are highly unqualified. None of them have held executive office. We Americans are truly screwed this election cycle. I feel as if I don't have a horse in this race. How did we as Americans get to this point? Where is the pride in our country?

Romney '08

This is shameful. Obama, who grew up in a broken family, lived VERY modestly and was on food stamps, and who has dedicated his entire adult life to action and advocacy for the poor and working Americans, is now being cast as an out of touch elitist by Lou Dobbs, Hillary Clinton, John McCain, and loads of other hypocrite Republicans who don't care in the least about the down and out. OBAMA's getting MY vote and money-NOT Clinton or McBush!
OBAMA '08 AND '12!!!!!!

Bitter? Why would anyone be bitter after losing their home, job, car, etc. and perhaps having to move where they don't know anyone and having to yank their kids out of a school they wanted to graduate from? If you ask me, Hillary and now McCain are the ones who have "mis-spoke". Obama was just telling it like it is–the other candidates play up anti-gun control and religion to "get people through hard times". This gets people to vote against themselves (ourselves). It worked in 2000 and 2004-NOT THIS YEAR!!!

I just donated to Obama, like I do every month. We are the people and we do not have to be motivated to give to our candidate based on fear and hate messages.

Dems Unite – Obama 08

John McCain. The only senator to miss EVERY environmental vote this season. Keep up the good work, and thanks for looking out for the "small town people" who actually care.

I can't wait until John Mccain is "well vetted". Word is, there are alot of skeleton bones in his closet.

The world is watching how are democracy works, they must be laughing.

I wonder if John McCain would consider Letting Hillary run on his ticket with him... or vice versa, I don't care which is on top of the ticket, it will give me a chance to vote against both of them at once.

Vote Hillary or McCain and more jobs for Colombians. But look on the bright side Billary gets paid to send your jobs south of the border and your illegal immigration problem may be solved inadvertently

I think its a stupid tatic to use this to raise money but I guess time will tell right! I mean if people are dumb enough to send money to McCain (McSame as Bush) when they are "bitter" then America is "hopeless" anyways and nothing is going to change Washington. Time will tell if the American People has had enough with "Politics as usuall".

Obama's problem is that he needs to stop trying to act like he has all the answers to why people do what they do. I am so tired of hearing everyone else trying to explain what the man meant to say. He got caught thinking out loud and this time it came from his mouth not his good friend the Rev. Just admit, what Obama said has offended alot of people and I think he should not make light of it. That is the wrong strategy. Maybe he need another speech. I think if he wins the nomination we will be hearing alot from him.

I intend to vote for Hillary.... but as time goes by I am liking McCain and will vote for this true American should Obama get the nod. I like McCain, I really do.

Obama we know how did you vote in Illinois state senate you blame the voting machine. Don’t ever thing you can hide any thing when you are working for public
you are not smart you try to be smart
Hillary 08 or Mc Cain 08

Americans bitter? Holding on to guns, religion, anit-imigration and anti-trade sentiment? Ouch! Could it be that some of Reverend Wright's ideology has inadvertantly rubbed off on Obama during the 20 years of sermons that Obama supposedly was never around to hear?

The longer that the Democratic primaries drag on, the more the candidates will have an opportunity to give the media jackals juicy sound-bite morsels to parse endlessly. Then, as Democrats snipe at each other, the give more ammunition they give to the Republicans for the election. If Obama's fellow Democrat, Hillary can blast McCain for a sound-bite comment, why then, it should certainly be fair game for McCain! I don't blame McCain for using this sound-bite-moment opportunity for his own benefit. God bless the Democratic process!

I can not believe that people are blaming Hillary or McCain for Obama's offensive remarks. They have spun this about the word bitter and totally ignored the fact that he called people bigots. Obama is the master of deception..He continues to spin his wrong doings and this will catch up to him. I was a democrat, but I can never vote for this man, because of him and his childish supporters.

The president and the candidates don't care about me. Their only concern is for them selves. I am bitter. Why is it when a candidate speaks the truth, no one likes it. Yet everyone always says they want a candidate to tell the truth.

Shame on you McCain! I grew up in small-town PA and yes, believe it or not, PEOPLE ARE BITTER! You were my go-to guy in case Barack didn't get the nomination...now who will I vote for? Nadar?
It is a well known theory in sociology that people tend to flock to things they can control (such as religion and guns) when something they cannot control (such as the failing economy and their perpetual governmental neglect) goes awry...
And you are completely out of the loop if you think that losing jobs makes people happy!

DIGITA, and I guess you can be poor without being rich, and you can be rich without being poor... give me a break! Multi-millionaires Clinton and McCain did not mean to imply a compliment when they called Obama an elitist.

Really, one is getting tired of these over-flogged Obama's remarks. Those who are accusing him of being elitist are the hardened and fossilised ones. Obama has tasted what it meant to be in want. He knows that people who suffer seek solace somehow in some place or other. Obama should be left alone. These people should talk about things that will make the world a better place for everyone on this planet and not pick on some insignificant matters of little or consequence. Obamma has what it takes to face the pains of teh world.

Mccain will raise alot off of that comment and if it comes down between him and Obama this fall McCain will WIN.

Come on, we are at war, $ is sinking and our former president lobbies for foreign Governments instead of for people in PA, etc.
This juvenile ‘elitist’ discussion is just going too far.

It is evident that John McCain has all of the other blue collar, poorly educated folks, support Hillary or McCain.

McCain needs to retire to a nursing home, of course if Hillary is the nominee I guess I will vote for him... give him my money, never! My money only goes to the true people's candidate: Barack Obama!

As if McCain never said or did anything he later regretted! I think that to be a politician is to be basically flawed from the get-go. I think I would be more astonished if a politician ever said anything constructive than by any stupid negative uttered by people who want to be our representatives.

I just hope that whoever gets elected remembers that he or she works for us! They are not our leaders, they are our representatives, even the president. Washington warned us against allowing political parties to make our decisions for us, and Jefferson reminded us that in spite of political parties we are all Americans with a common cause. How little we remember that parties and politicians are there to serve us, not vice versa.

Shame on politicians for playing to the lowest common denominator, and shame on us for cheering them on.

Can anyone help him ? he is confusing OBAMA and HILLARY...

First they spin it, then they exploit it!!!

shame on you McCain!

It looks like the people of Pennsylvania are tired of hearing the word "Bitter "as Hillary was jeered for bringing this up again in a campaign event today. I would hope McCain would see this and realize sticking to the issues is what the voters want to hear. Every candidate in this campaign has said ," I've made a mistake and it probably won't be the last." So let's get on with it and get back to the issues at hand.

I "cling" to religion because of my faith not because I am bitter. it am not bitter because I choose not to live in a big city.

What has O done for me lately? Did he help me with my mortgage? No!! Did he pay for my healthcare? No! Did he help with stopping the illegal immigration? No! He is just like Hillary and John. All of them are politicians! Period!

McCain does not even understand economics....thats not his field. Wait for the real race after democratic nomination.

You can be an elitist without being rich, just as you can be a racist without being white.

Trade is the enemy of America – If we still made all of our own clothes, machinery, and food we would be the dominant superpower. China and India have stolen our jobs and reduced our standard of living. All we have to do is close the borders and get americans to work again.

If I had lost my job to someone who lived in another country, I would be bitter too; and no amount of "I promise to fix it" would make it go away. I would lose the little faith I do have in Washington, because they signed the agreement that made this happen.

Really, an elitist? Anyone who says this or believes this knows nothing about Barack Obama. He is from a very moderate family who's father immigrated here – living on the American Dream. When given the choice, Barack decided to dedicate his time and effort helping churches in Chicago and working with the people. This man is anything but elitist. Hopefully the American people don't believe everything they here.

McCain = politics as usual.

Obama '08 !

First it was Hillary now its McCain. This is just dirty politics at its best, Pathetic!

Our President Obama 08’ & 12’

John McSame as Clinton. Both elitists stuck in the 90s.

lol, this is the funniest. John MCCain who wants to give tax cuts to the wealthy who cheated on his wife to marry a millionaire. hahahahaha

Marge Hibbing Mn-

Hillary and McCain are simply taking the words that Obama said and twisted them to their likings.

There was nothing at all wrong with anything that he said.

But yet you support a woman who lies and then goes on Jay Leno and jokes about her lie.

Way to go John. Hopefully between now and November the American voter will realize just how unqualified Obama and Clinton really are.

How rich is McCain's spouse again?

Who is the elitist?

i bet if people showed some outrage over the coverage of this story the media would change their tune slightly

Smart, very smart. I only hope democrats realize that voting for Obama will be their doom. Hillary Clinton is the only candidate qualified for president. Pennsylvania, Indiana, North Carolina and all other states, don't let Obama continue.

Is no one curious how Hillary and McCain came out at practically the exact same time to address in identical tones and sentiments that a comment Obama made about a week before is elitist, a term they both used? No? Anyone? Buddy ol' pals Hillary and John? Anyone?

Well I do.

This is sickening. You have the obama nutso attending Hillary's rallies so they can boo and slur. Whenever she tries to protect her self from some of the outrageous statements obama throws around, the MSM and obama come up with the statement....he mis spoke, that was a mis-statement or a bonehead statement.

What I am thinking is since he makes so many of these statements which he later considers "Mis-spokes"....is he next going to blame Hillary Clinton for being one of his speech writers. Looks like......he's got an excuse for every stupid thing he does, and dang de dang there sure is a lot of them.

You just don't get it, do you John?

Most of us don't have multi-millionaire spouses and part-time Congressional hours. Here in rural Central Pennsylvania, most of us work our butts off with no raises, no sick leave, often no health insurance or insurance we cannot afford to purchase, struggling to pay for gas and seeing the prices at the grocery store rise from week to week. The American Dream was supposed to boil down to: Work hard, Be responsible and You Will Succeed. Why shouldn't we be bitter when all of our hard work only gets us further and further behind?

Get a clue and give me the issues, not this petty garbage!

Is it what age will do to us all? From integrity and courage to petty and low-level politics. The poor man will do anything to get elected. It reminds me of a woman I knew...

I was also inspired to send off more money to Obama today! He's gonna need the extra cash for an ad that explains to the people how his comments about being "bitter" were deliberately taken out of context.

I didn't think McCain would take the Hillary approach and misconstrue what Obama said, but he did.

Oh well, to be disillusioned is to be freed of the illusion, eh?

KC MO

Oh please stop picking each other apart and stand strong on your own two feet and beliefs. Lay it on the table and let the people decide. This is really getting old this picking each other apart.

I'm surprised McCain (megamillionaire and highly condescending) and Hillary (megamillionaire and a compulsive and desperate liar) are even DARING to call Obama names or point their fingers. I can't wait for their karma. Highly recommend both of Obama's books.

JOHN McCain....you and Hillary had better get out of bed together! You are lucky Obama has respect and doesn't attack you two as he should! You need a nap John... we know how the elderly and babies get cranky without their afternoon nap!

Senator McCain: Like Hillary Clinton, you are beating a dead horse. Like Senator Clinton, your criticism is shallow. I wonder if you will at some point experience jeers like she did. Your nit- picking surely will not buy you votes.

Oh please stop picking each other apart and stand strong on your own feet and beliefs. I can't take it anymore

Mccain stop! this isnt even funny anymore the people of PA have said they feel BITTER so instead of pondering on the words react with actions!! but you cant do that huh? NO MONEY!!
Obama 08!! he speaks the truth even when is truth is what you wont to hear!

It's amazing how much Hillary and McCain agree on throughout this primary. Maybe they should be running mates on an independent ticket.

Why do we judge peoples' statements on ploitical correctness first and accuracy second?

Mccaing can't talk straight on his own, they have to write the scrips for him, how will he make decision at right when something happen?

Mccain you are due for retirement!

Hillary is a liar, fraud, malipulator and she is corrupt.

Bill made $50 million for speeches and 7 years their income is over $107 millions.
Does the Clintons knows what it meant to be poor?
Mccain and Hillary Clinton are more of the same old washingtonian.

Vote Obama.

Obama will be the nominee for democratics unless something drastic happens and Hillary get the nomination. I say this Obama will never get my vote and many other democratics. Southern democratics do not support Moveon.org or Anti-War movement by liberal democratics.

Hillary or McCain! Period!

LOL people actually support McCain?? LOL Oh this is rich- Talk about out of touch

We would rather believe the Republicans and their fear factor.

If you believe in women's right to choose, gun-control, and gay rights you do not believe in God. (Nonsense!) If you support the troops and you want to end the unjust war in Irag, you are not patriotic! (Nonsense).
Everyone please wake up...this policy has damaged America.....Do not let it happen again!

Obama will never be able to win in Nov. He has insulted average Americans with his religion, guns, bigotry and drugs comments made to rich San Francisco donors. Obama can't win the swing states (Ohio, TN, AK, FL, MI, PA, NH, NM) and now he will send the Reagan Democrats back to the Republican party.

Hillary '08. I'm going to donate to her campaign right now!!

Senator Obama was raised by a single mother. He worked in slumsfor years. He has vacationed in Africa, amongst his poor relatives in Kenya. Truth be told, he has more touch with the poor than any of the other candidates. Those who lived in DC for decades are the ones who lost touch with the poor in slums and small towns.

The great orator is the great berater is the great mocker is the great elitist.

Obama's new slogan:
"now, now... do not parse my words... what I actually meant was..."

He is a fake, phony, hypocritical lyer who looks down on everyone and tries to win by force, intimidation, mockery and deceit.

Never Obama.

I'll donate as soon as he tells me the difference between Sunni and Shi'ite !!!!!

PENNSYLVANIANS, you have the power to STOP this break up of the Democratic party. Please don't allow this race to go any further.
The longer that we wait to choose. The more we hand victory over to the Republicans. REAL DAMAGE IS BEING DONE!!!!!!!

well you can't blame the guy for trying? Senator Obama will get past this latest shrillary and prove he is the only one that doesn't fit the elite mold. Mr. McCain with his wife's beer fortune and HRC with the 110 million in the bank – this all does seem a bit ridiculous.

What will STICK to Obama against McCain is the word BIGOT! Obama called people living in small town Pennsylvania as BIGOT!

... hey McCain, is this the best you can do?!?

Talk about second-order non-issues.

Please go take a nap.

Obama's mother was on food stamps. His father left him when he was young and they were flat broke all his youth. He went to good schools on hard-earned scholarships. He and his wife were poor until recently. How is he an elitist?

Mccain you are "out of touch" with Americans, Republicans, Democrats, and anybody else with sense!!!!

Obama is not only out of touch with small town America, he is out of touch with America. All he knew is his preacher. How could you understand America if you were MENTORED by Wright?

McCain's wife has extreme wealth. He spent most of his life in the military or government, I haven't heard of him working with any community organizations. Whose out of touch? I think the wise choice is to with the Dems and not a Bush non-entity.

Chill out, Noel. The election is an eternity away in politics.

I have to laugh at McCain, who married into a dynasty worth hundreds of millions of dollars, calling Obama an elitist.

I cannot truly believe that McCain would think that the American people would really believe that he is more in touch with what is going on than Obama. This multi-millionaire hundreds of times over is more in touch than someone who actually lived on food stamps for a while and who just recently paid off his student loans? Seriously??? This man, who at one point refused to admit that there is even a mortgage foreclosure crisis going on? I just can't believe this....however what's more unbelievable is this woman who is rolling around in a $100+ million fortune, wants us to really believe as truth that she chugs beer and knows our woes. Actually, what's scary is that there are those out there who do believe it.

Hopefully we, in North Carolina, will put an end to this foolishness and kick this crazy woman out of the race. This is ridiculous!!

i live in memphis and i am bitter,frustrated with the folks in washington.
you guys are rich so you do not feel what millions that are poor are feeling

go obama 08

What's the problem??? Obama has used fundraising for every little thing Hillary has said this entire campaign season. What goes around comes around. You Obama supporters want him so badly you can not realize the man is a racist, talks down to people, and have a clear view of what typical white people are like. You people will buy into anything. The man puts you down and you still love and want him as your President. Enjoy the moment while you can, because he will not be President of the United States of America.

McCain is out of touch. The people didn't appreciate Clinton attacking Obama on this. McCain is following the same path as Clinton. Too bad he doesn't realize that people don't appreciate this kind of attacks. Obama said the truth. We are bitter about our government. Obama is right, Obama is right, Obama got it CORRECT. McCain is simple OUT OF TOUCH

John Mc Cain you are pathetic capitalizing on the reality of the millions of Americans who are getting the short end of the stick , unlike you and Hillary. The readers, wake up and realize that this is war between the Haves and Have -nots who would be very happy to have you lose any Hope for Change; guess which 2 presidential candidates wants you to stay a Have not.

Small town values = never-ending war in the Middle East and ignorance of economic issues? Okay. let him have his fundraising from people who believe that gibberish. I'm from Pennsylvania, his comments are true. And he didn't mean them in a bad way; it's what the policies of the past 20 years have turned us to. McCain only equals more of the same.

Mr. Obama may be right, however this is not the type of comment we want to listen to. America deserves not to see politicians explaining why people are bitter in such a level that they opt for extreme decisions like gun abuse.

why does everyone need every word obama says picked apart and analized and spelled out for them and taken out of contex? If this is how presidencys are going to be won by manipulating the voters by sensless attacks then i may just have to stop voting all together. If you cant stick to the issues and your plans then why bother running? I dont want a president that wins on arrogance and trash talking it proves they can acomplish nothing but run thier mouths and tell people what they want to hear instead of what they need tohear!

I'd donate to all their campaigns if they'd just shut up.

Hillary is an experienced LIAR. She is a qualified cheater and hypocrite. That's what her 135 year of experience mean!

what a Idiot this man is.

The only elitist is John McCain and his good friend, Hillary Clinton.

No surprises; no one can run a campaign like this in Britain!

John McCain should focus on the fact that I am "bitter" about the fact that we are spending hundreds of billions of dollars in a country that isn't my own.

McCain and his wife are worth over 100 million dollars. Hillary and Bill made 100 million dollars last year. And Obama just finish paying off his student loan. He is very in-touch with that small town in PA. Hillary and McCain need to buy a clue.

I think it is quite interesting that small town folks are primarily republican...they must voteon issues such as abortion and gun control rather than economics, healthcare, and social progress...how are the tax laws of the republican dogma benefitting the average small town blue collar worker? Not sure?

McCain is rich and he does not understand why we are bitter. When people are losing homes, cannot afford health insurance, and college tution, the Clintons are boasting of Millions received from selling our jobs. McCain, if you are not bitter, then you are an elitest, and Francly, you are!!!
Obama 08.

b.o is so unelectable it's not even funny

the dnc and superdelegates better wise up!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Can I send a negative campaign contribution, John? Will you take it?

Hillary and McCain one and the same: old, bitter, old politics, status quo, bitter bitter, and republicans,

Again...Mr McCain is not being logical or making any sense.
If anyone is an elitist, it is him.

Remember America a victory for Obama is a victory for McCain. I think McCain's supporters are helping Obama because they know Obama can't win.

Go Hillary!!!!!!

This is truly laughable. This man married into over 100 million dollars.He has the audacity to call Obama elitist.Any one who is simple minded enough to believe this was not going to vote for Obama anyway.

Smart McCain. We need a smart sold man.
McCain 08

I am so pleased to find out that the average American is happy about all the jobs that have been lost because of Nafta. I can't wait for more jobs to be sent overseas......

You know what, I'm going to donate to Obama right now.

I forgot McCain was still running!!

McCain was the one who told the workers in Michigan that the jobs exported overseas weren't ever coming back (his response to Mitt Romney's claim that they could be rebuilt). Yeah, that's good ol' small town faith for ya!

Whats it going to take to get us the People to really dig deep and read, read, and read some more to educate ourselves when choosing our President??? Obama is not a leader and I don't care how many words, speechs and all the rest... HE IS NOT EXPERINCED ENOUGH>>> well be prepared to if you vote Obama ... you woill be crying much harder than you already do... Vote HILLARY and simply be wise...

This guy sounds alot like Hillary.............. NuFF sAiD.

Dang... give me some popcorn... this is getting good...
Although I don't think McCain should use such tactics... he doesn't have to in light of how the dems are treating each other!

This is getting interesting!

PS: All three are elitists compared to middle America... PERIODE!

Retire Mr. McCain.

The only elitist i see are those in the white house that manufactured a war that the american people have to pay for in lives and resources. How much more elitist can you get.. McCain will continues that elitist aggenda

actually, obama is correct, and this is a silly discussion. at least he can tell the difference between sunni and shiite.

Let's see how many of McCain's supporters are capable of basic reading comprehension, as many of Hillary's supporters (and some of Obama's) fail at trying to parse the simple statement Obama made.

Congratulations to far left, idealistic, highly critical, elitest, and unrealistic wing of our Democratic party....we have once again handed the election to the Republicans and the special interests on a silver platter.....

McCain, McCain, McCain. You can't blame anyone for trying.

Other countries think we are stupid to keep listening to the lies
of a woman who is becoming one of America's most hated woman.
Get her out of PA. IND AND S.C. NOW!!!!!! Don't worry America.
McCain will never, never, never win. "Bitter" IS A FEELING. Not
a bad word. Elitist is not a good thing to be called. Hillary and
McCain are elitists.

Obama's an elitist! Send me money! – John McCain

CNN, can we keep track of this financing campaign to see how well it works? I'm curious.

This will never stick. Your a fool if you think the Elitist title is gonna stick to Obama. If this is the best you got McCain. Enjoy a failed run at the President Seat.

shame on you McCain!

You're absolutely right John. I'm not convinced what clinging to guns means? But I don't like it.

Ignorant, poor, and still fighting for my liberty from the tyranny of our government.

Good job McCain. I pray to god you will beat Obama if he is the dem nominee.

John McCain or Hillary Clinton for President
