Watch Sen. Clinton's new ad, "Pennsylvania."

(CNN) — Hillary Clinton’s campaign released a tough new ad Monday that features the reactions of some of her Pennsylvania supporters who say they were “insulted” by Barack Obama’s controversial recent comments about some small-town Americans.

The 30-second spot – which echoes several days of similar criticism from Clinton and her campaign — features a diverse group of voters reacting to Obama’s comments a week ago that some of the state’s residents were “bitter” and turning to guns and religion because of economic pressures.

Full script follows:

Woman 1: I was very insulted by Barack Obama.

Man 1: It just shows how out of touch Barack Obama is.

Woman 2: I'm not clinging to my faith out of frustration and bitterness. I find that my faith is very uplifting.

Man 2: The good people of Pennsylvania deserve a lot better than what Barack Obama said.

Woman 1: Hillary does understand the citizens of Pennsylvania better.

Woman 3: Hillary Clinton has been fighting for people like us her whole life.

Hillary, I am your supporter, but rethinking your capacity to lead the country. You are destroying yourself! Please take the advice. Stop attack. Go back to the issues.

Smith   April 14th, 2008 7:37 pm ET

Hillary was fighting for YOU PA, while she got rich on Whitewater!

lady with ETHICS and MORALS that the WHOLE STATE OF PA

ADORES!!

The CLINTON FAMILY is the PERFECT example of

the IDEAL PENNSYLVANIA FAMILY VALUES !!!

GO PA!! ELECT YOUR HONEY! GIGGLE GIGGLE about NAFTA

Sam, Manchester, New Hampshire   April 14th, 2008 7:37 pm ET

"People like us"…implication meaning that Hillary Clinton is above us mere plebians.
Yet, of course, she has been fighting for us all along…so out of gratification and humble loyalty we should just vote for her.

How about NO?

Mack   April 14th, 2008 7:36 pm ET

The Annie Oakly joke that Obama made about Hillary was so childish. It reaps of inmaturity.

Peter, Houston Tx   April 14th, 2008 7:36 pm ET

I only wish that most American people see Hillary Clinton for who she truly is. She is evil! She will dine with the devil to get back to the White house. She's a liar and cares for no one but herself. She is driven by sheer greed and over ambitious ego.

Where are the 200,000 jobs you promised New Yorker during your campaign for the Senate. Liar! She'll say anything she believes people want to hear. It will be better for George bush to rule a lifetime than have Hillary Clinton spend one day as President. Please people campaign against Hillary….

Bias against whom?   April 14th, 2008 7:36 pm ET

CNN, why do you consistently post and transcribe Clinton's campaign adds, but very rarely Obama's?

Ziggy   April 14th, 2008 7:35 pm ET

Ronald Reagan once said about Third World countries ruled by cruel dixctaors that "people deserve the leaders they get". I guess that, looking at all that's going on today in American politics, in a country in recession, when people have been lied to over and over again the same governments that got them in this situation in the first place, I guess we can say that Americans deserve the type of government that has been in Washington and has made them "bitter" and "frustrated".

Think people   April 14th, 2008 7:35 pm ET

Dawn, actually "getting caught" would mean being found out in a lie or in something you were afraid to have exposed, like um, lesseee…no, wait, it's coming to me…Oh, right, saying that you were shot at by sniper fire (ingeniously disguised as an 8 year old) when you were NOT.

If you can't tell the difference between an actual awkward phrasing (misspeaking)–saying something less well than you intended, and clarifying it immediately–versus LYING outright, then you might reconsider who is actually drinking the proverbial Kool Aid here. And FYI, you might want to look up the word "elitist" again, because you didn't quite get it right. Near as I can tell, the only ones being irrational here in their comments are the ones shouting (i.e., those with the incessant caps) and/or taking deep offense when they obviously had already made up their minds and didn't listen to Obama's perfectly logical explanation. Don't be such an unthinking drone.

No one sane or rational could look at the history and professional resumes of these politicians, or listen to their campaigns for the past 15 months, and proceed to label Obama as the elitist one. But trying to explain that to some of you is just a waste of breath. I trust that the majority of Pennsylvanians are smarter, more savvy, and better able to think for themselves tahn some of the sampling here.

Ilona Proud Canadian   April 14th, 2008 7:35 pm ET

Mark Penn was not fired!
Mark Penn did not quit!
Mark Penn was paid $10million plus for his advice!
Mark Penn still works as Hillary's advisor!
Mark Penn received $300,000.00 from Colombia!
Bill Clinton made $800,000.00 off trade deal!
Bill Clinton instigated NAFTA!
Hillary Clinton supported and promoted NAFTA!
Hillary Clinton lied about NAFTA!
Hilary Clinton lied about Bosnis!
Hillary Clinton lied about pregnant woman!

Come on Obama supporters help me out here, add your Hillary! misspeaks etc.

Canadian   April 14th, 2008 7:35 pm ET

If the Americans are too stupid to see throught the Clinton's and the Bush family monopoly then they deserve what they get.

After 20 years you think they could find someone else who could help their country.

Learn to speak Chinese as soon as possible. They will be hiring you when your wages are lower than theirs.

Kirk From Michigan   April 14th, 2008 7:34 pm ET

Look Out Folks !!! He's Showing His " Wright Wing Ideology"
Obama has moved from the pews ……… To The podium !
He's Speaking in his Traditional Jeremiah Wright Tounge

Hillary 08″

Nana   April 14th, 2008 7:34 pm ET

PA, Vote wisely, I think she wants to pay Bill back (Monica Lewinsky issue) in the same office. Bill be careful. To avoid that Vote Obama

Susan / PA   April 14th, 2008 7:34 pm ET

and this is the woman that says she is the best to run our country???

NOT!!!!

go away Hillary…yesterday couldnt be soon enough!!!!!

Gregory H. Brooklyn New York   April 14th, 2008 7:34 pm ET

Winning at any cost can be very costly. Sen. Clinton, you lost my vote sometime ago. Now its permanent. Shame on you Sen. Clinton!!..Shame on you!! We the deserve better than this.

jean   April 14th, 2008 7:34 pm ET

People are beginning to see Obama is NOT ready to lead the free world, let alone those folks in San Francisco. McCain will chop him into bits. But Barak's a great VP for Hillary. I still think they could make a great team. But, then, I don't thrive on hate and vitriol.

Hillary in 08

Ann Marie   April 14th, 2008 7:33 pm ET

How much did Hillary pay these people to say these words? They must be laughing all the way to the bank. Especially when they vote for Barack next week.

Carol   April 14th, 2008 7:33 pm ET

She is the one who is out of touch.

American voters are not as stupid as she thinks we are.

I actually found Obama's remarks questionable, but her response has been ten times worse.

Let it go Hillary. Don't you have a duck shoot to get to?

Mike   April 14th, 2008 7:33 pm ET

…Like the Ad…

Go Hillary!!!!

Tyler   April 14th, 2008 7:33 pm ET

Must be Clinton staffers, it would take too long to search high and low for people who would fall for her false statements. Everyone knows what Obama meant, maybe just more un-educated clinton supporters.

robert   April 14th, 2008 7:33 pm ET

I am so sick of Obama I could puke.

Obama is bad for the American ideals.

BL   April 14th, 2008 7:32 pm ET

Senator Obama is out of touch and has constantly given speeches trying to divert us all from his ignorant comments…
This man has done nothing but look down on people and I am very offended…
I can't wait to not vote for him!!!

Fight HIllary Fight   April 14th, 2008 7:32 pm ET

Obama is a liar…He is an ELITIST…

Beware people of who you vote for in the primary..

He is an elitist…Inidiana is for Clinton..Obama for north carolina..

Hillary 08!

Otille   April 14th, 2008 7:32 pm ET

Obama's choice words about why rural America don't vote for him are what we call "Freudian slips-of-the-tongue".

These slips come naturally because they are what a a person really believes. I don't doubt for a moment that Obama believes what he said. And that's what troubles me…

To say that folks in small towns across America don't vote for him because these people are "bitter" about the economic hardships and misfortunes in their lives, and that they "cling" to guns and faith when these events happen in their lives, and that they virtually become anti-immigrants (and therefore bigots) because of these hardships — REVEALS A LOT about Obama and how he views Americans WHO ARE NOT FOR HIM.

I don't like this at all. Not at all…

Chaney   April 14th, 2008 7:32 pm ET

Hillary has stooped to an all time low and comes across as a desperate and over the top and she is the one out of touch. Of course we are bitter–we are loosing are homes, can't afford the gas prices, and the cost of food is raising. And what about this stupid war that is costing us billions,trillions of dollars. And how dare she accused Obama of being an elitist when she has 109 million. Shame on you Hillary. I can't wait till this is over and her and Bill (partner in crime, liar) go away!

Lyn   April 14th, 2008 7:32 pm ET

Clinton is a basket case. I guest she doesn't have faith in herself to win so she just continue to attack Obama. SAD, SAD, SAD, now is that the type of person you want in the White House?

Nikole   April 14th, 2008 7:32 pm ET

It saddens me to see Hillary Clinton sink to such (NEW) lows. Really?
I honestly don't understand how anyone in this country can believe that what Barack Obama said was anything but the truth.
The small town people ARE bitter. If you say you aren't bitter or you try to believe that there are people who are happy to be without jobs…then you are still living in denial. Yes, there are those who aren't affected as deeply, but he never said EVERY person was bitter.
Stop being so easily offended, my gosh, how old are you people?

P.S. Take a look around you, this country is falling apart and supporting Hillary is a surefire way to make sure that happens even faster.

Disgusted   April 14th, 2008 7:32 pm ET

I am disgusted with the entire tone of Clinton's ads. What ever happened to talking about yourself instead of denigrating your opponents by misrepresenting what they have said.

The bloggers have became so nasty, that I think this is the last time I read any.

I'm voting for the only candidate with integrity, Barack Obama.

Peter Paul   April 14th, 2008 7:31 pm ET

Do you not get a certain feeling about people in the media such as, Lou Dobbs, Hannity, Oreily, Glen Beck and last but not least Rush Dumbo.

There is a certain feeling I get about them and I just can't put my finger on it, but I think you know what I am talking about!!!

I am so happy to see people see the old politics is being played out here.
The truth is America is tired of the old Washington games and the people want a President like Obama voted by the people for the people. I am glad people are so in touch with the truth that Obama speaks because this is how we change for the better in everyway single way.
I am glad to see Obama is calling out Hillary for her initial approval of NAFTA and calling it the way it is, profit for her and losses for us.

From your friend to all the people, peace.

Go Hillary!   April 14th, 2008 7:31 pm ET

The Obama bloggers sound so "bitter". You better cling to your reverend (duh) candidate. Birds with same feather flock together.

Go Hillary! America is ready for a woman President!

Hillary Lies!   April 14th, 2008 7:31 pm ET

Low, low and LOW! Just when you thought Hillary couldn't stoop any lower, welp… There ya have it.

S. Shay   April 14th, 2008 7:31 pm ET

Oh no she didn't!!

I hope the MSM has a field day with this desperate ish. He still holds a lead in the national polls over Clinton even after this because the people who like Obama understands his position and the ones who don't like him pretend not to understand his position.

The good news is it's increasingly obvious that more people understand and agree with Obama than Clinton, which is why SHE'S ALREADY LOST THIS PRIMARY! Now she's just a mouthpiece for the Repugs so Obama is fighting two Republicans to get the nomination. It's only making him stronger.

Michael   April 14th, 2008 7:31 pm ET

This is so sad. I think she honestly thinks that the people of PA are dumb enough to fall for this. I think THIS AD is disrespectful to these people.

Bklyn Bouy   April 14th, 2008 7:30 pm ET

people i only gat two sites for y'all. SHAME on HILLARY.

She complained about Magnequench, this deal was closed in 1995, can someone tell me who was the president then? now she is saying President Bush refused to block the deal.

SHE IS A BIG LIAR… PA open your eyes, hearts and thoughts.

Hoorah for those sheep accepting their newly realized redneck nature! May their following - however blind - not lead us off some cliff.

Being personified as a homophobic and racist religious fanatic is not something I can easily wrap myself around. Perhaps I should see about trading in my briefcase and kitten pumps for a shotgun and a bible.

Frank   April 14th, 2008 7:30 pm ET

Do you think this is a strategy to win ? No.

There is no way in hell that I - as a Democrat - would ever vote for a person who acts like being possessed by Karl Rowe, McCain and the Republican Party !

Hillary Clinton is a disgrace, a mad old woman who leans on her husband for fame and who has so many faces that you don't know who she will play tomorrow.

About 12 months ago I was somewhat 'ok' with Hillary Clinton - today I have to say that I like her about as much as George Bush !

hillary is toast!   April 14th, 2008 7:30 pm ET

Hillary calling Obama elitist is absolutely amazing, especially coming on the heels of her $110 million windfall disclosure. She somehow thinks her millions in the bank puts her among the common people who she claims to fight so hard for- what a joke! She is the one out of touch…

Rick in Oregon   April 14th, 2008 7:30 pm ET

Can you people that think that is so low really be serious? This is politics people and it's a tough business. If Hillary had said something like Obama said, you Obama lovers would have been all over it and saying what an elitist she is. Think about it. Put the shoe on the other foot.

The fact is, your candidate got caught and he has to pay the piper for it.

Speaking of getting caught….look at this article to shed a little light in this horrible "lie" about Bosnia you love to harp on. Sounds to me like she wasn't too far off, and perhaps you need to get off of your soap box.

Obama fans = Truly bitter.

Anna   April 14th, 2008 7:30 pm ET

Shes really looking bad. Think she should let it go and preserve what integrety she might have left

Cannot Believe this   April 14th, 2008 7:30 pm ET

I cannot believe how Lou Dobbs has Attacked obama and completly distorted his words tryning to portray obama's words as an Attack on Small Town America.
He tried to iterate how Americans arent bitter like obama claims
Here is the irony
Isnt Lou Dobbs the same guy who goes Insane over US immigration policies, Defence contracts and Economic policies that almost every night he just has to Call the US government, including congress and all the different departments of government a bunch of "IDIOTS". That sounds like a bitter American to me.
And here he claims Obama is out of touch, trying to lay the blame on the people of penslavania

Golden Chica   April 14th, 2008 7:29 pm ET

And the Obamamaniacs are back in the attack. Give it up already. Your candidate just put his foot in the mouth and that will seal the nomination for Hillary and the voters of Pennsylvania will show him his way out of the race. Go Hillary '08.

Bill in SF   April 14th, 2008 7:29 pm ET

yeah…hillary is now a bible-thumpin', gun totin', whiskey drinkin', tobacco chewin', NASCAR racin' everyman (or in her case everywoman). What is next? Will she start attending Professional Wrestling matches, get endorsed by Hulk Hogan and Vince McMahaon? Maybe get into a drunken brawal? Stuff down KFC buckets of chicken and beer during breaks in her campaign speeches? Please…how phoney and condescending. At least when Barak is being condescending he apologizes.

Meister   April 14th, 2008 7:28 pm ET

Obama was correct in his accurate and honest statements about US. WE are frustrated, and WE are not happy with the current state of affairs. Hilary is destroying herself by her childish petty attacks on Obama sound bites. He doesn't do this to her.

Charmy   April 14th, 2008 7:28 pm ET

Hillary has stooped to an all time low and comes across as a desperate bitter woman. Of course we are bitter–we are loosing are homes, can't afford the gas prices, and the cost of food is raising. And what about this stupid war that is costing us billions,trillions of dollars. And how dare she accused Obama of being an elitist when she has 109 million. Shame on you Hillary. I can't wait till this is over and her and Bill (partner in crime, liar) go away!

Hillbillary   April 14th, 2008 7:28 pm ET

It won't work. This kitchen sink is not nearly as bad as the Bosnia lies she told. Not nearly.

Obama 08 for sure

chris   April 14th, 2008 7:28 pm ET

Obama is an elitist.

He attended this very swank high school in Hawaii, http://www.punahou.edu

His wife makes $370,000 a year and cant make ends meet.

This Obama couple opens their mouth and says the wrong thing way too much.

We know and trust Hillary Clinton.

Obama is scary.

francis   April 14th, 2008 7:28 pm ET

Obama's mask finally came off. He's arrogant and is so out of touch with the average person. His comments were made behind closed doors to his wealthy fundraisers. Wake up people, what you see is not what your going to get.

Barbara   April 14th, 2008 7:28 pm ET

How many times has Obama had to explain what he meant because he used the wrong words?

If he is elected president, will he make speeches about or to foreign countries. After the damage has been done, will he need to explain
that he used the wrong words.

Big Tex   April 14th, 2008 7:28 pm ET

I am sad to here that Hillary Clinton would be willing to Distroy us all…….

I glad that Obama sail above the trash talk and sticking to the issues.

I remember when he had many opportunities to hit you hard but he didn't.

Obama thought about the party instead of slaming your lying A#$% or you IMPEACHED Ex President husband.

Tyler   April 14th, 2008 7:28 pm ET

I wonder how much they were paid to make up those statements in the commercial.

Ralph Spyer   April 14th, 2008 7:27 pm ET

Prejudice will fall in a combat with interest. THOMAS PAINE Yesterdays religion is today mythology; today mysticism is tomorrow"s religions.The religion of one age is the literary entertainment of the next. A gun is a recreational tool,like a golf club or a tennis racket.You can kill someone with a golf club, you know. In Chicago we lost 5 solders in Iraq so far in 5 years and over 50 school children have been killed in the Chicago schools by guns in the past 5 years. We live in a culture that would absolutely fall apart if the thuth were told'

Niel   April 14th, 2008 7:27 pm ET

Yes, Obama is out of touch.
He has not yet learned to paly dirty politics. I like him a lot but I hate him for his defensive approach.
You goota play what others are playing.

Spend all the money describing the lies of Hillary and not defending how good you are.

People notice negative things fast and you have to tell them what they want to hear.

For me, I am turning Republican. They at least know how to run the party. Moreover, if Dems can't run the party, I do not expect to run the government, let alone the world.

Dominique   April 14th, 2008 7:27 pm ET

Why he keeps saying one thing up front and another behind the door?I cannot trust his change.

Marie in California   April 14th, 2008 7:26 pm ET

Let the people of PA speak for themselves about Obama's "bitter" remarks….and about how they "cling" to religion, guns, bigotry and anti-immigrant sentiment because of their "bitterness."

Listen to the people of PA. They're the ones he was talking about.

Obama says he "misspoke." Yeah. Sure.

As you said, Obama…..words DO matter!

Hillary or McCain - 2008

R. DEEZY   April 14th, 2008 7:26 pm ET

Hillary you are no different than Mugabe of Zimbabwe. Own up to defeat and let the dems move on. Lou Dobbs you are pathetic. I just switched the channel on you. You are the most bitter person i know especially when it comes to illegal immigrants a subject matter in 'frisco! You are anti Obama and it's a high time you endorse Hillary coz i think it's too late to run. You are a paid hater!!!hghhhg!!!

alice2   April 14th, 2008 7:26 pm ET

Hillary is getting way beyond desperate for votes. It is obvious she just wants to be Pres & just looks to me like she keeps making an A– –out of herself. I just wonder how she will react when she finally has lost the election & reality sets in. Finally we can move on with Change We Can Believe In.

HILLARY WON'T WIN!!! SHE JUST WON'T WIN!!!

LOU DOBBS… YOU ARE SO NEGATIVE YOU ARE OBVIOUSLY ANTI-OBAMA!!!!

bhoho   April 14th, 2008 7:26 pm ET

Mike

you are a liar. I am also in Pennsylvania this morning and there are Obama lawn signs everywhere. Just a rough estimate but I'd say about two to one for Obama. And the bumper stickers in downtown Philadelphia this morning as overwhelming for Obama.

can't guys like you keep the distortions and lies within reason?

Bill Clinton said today in Indiana that everywhere he goes there are "I am not bitter" signs. ABC news which covered all of his campaign stops stated that there was not one (as in not one) sign that said that.
so Mike, you are in good company with Bill Clinton, the world's best liar and recognized liar
back off a little and try to tell the truth. It would serve your candidate better.

Bklyn Bouy   April 14th, 2008 7:26 pm ET

hahaha… people take a break, she is only practicing with Obama on how to attack McCain.

She just showed another example of how well she could lie.

People she has been talking about Magnequench magnetic company shipped to China from Indiana. i guess it will be interesting to know the deal took place in 1995, and who was the president then??? Ringing a Bell…

Fuzzbee Morse   April 14th, 2008 7:26 pm ET

Shamelessly manipulative and transparently insincere move by Clinton. Typical, sadly, of the recent Hilary campaign. Obama's an elitist?!? Would be funny, if it wasn't so desperate. Hilary's stature is shrinking by the moment, in my estimation. It's painful to watch.

Dinesh   April 14th, 2008 7:25 pm ET

I get depressed when I see this kind of thing. The amount of times Hillary Clinton blatantly has attacked Obama is appalling. This is not at all a fair issue either. She says she misspoke about Bosnia, but attacks him when what he was trying to say ultimately made some sense.

Bob-a-latte   April 14th, 2008 7:25 pm ET

Now Obama called Hillary Annie Oakley. As the song from the musical goes, "Folks are dumb where I come from, they ain't had any learning. Still they're happy as can be, doing what comes naturally." Once again, Obama reveals how he "really" feels in his adult life about those who differ with him. Very telling. Elitist. The other song goes "Anything you can do, I can do better." Please don't let race this become Frank Butler and Annie Oakley. The thought of sexual tension between the two candidates is just too much to stomach.

Demo Craxy   April 14th, 2008 7:25 pm ET

talk about someone who is

bitter
has multiple personalities
liar liar
is really out of touch
is elitist
grew up republican
has a cheater for a husband

receives big time money from Colombia for supporting NAFTA
receives big money from the Saudis
creates a "foundation," in order to avoid paying taxes
makes more money that Bush in a year……
is demeaning to women and men, when she takes her cheating husband
sets a bad example for young women
ruins it for us women if ever we want to run for office
and is a copy cat

Shame SHHHHHH shame on you Billary

GET OUT OF THE RACE HILLIARY, YOU ARE OUT OF TOUCH WITH VOTERS.

OBAMA IS NEW TO THE GAME, BUT YOU ARE TRUE TO IT AND WHAT YOU ARE DOING IS WRONG. YOU AND ONLY YOU ARE DESTROYING THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY.

GET OUT OF THE RACE.

Michael G- Ventura, CA   April 14th, 2008 7:25 pm ET

Hilton Clinton has been "out of touch" with the people of this Country for so long now, she wouldn't know what being in touch means.
The people heard Barack last night (and the previous nights) tell the TRUTH.
Finally today he is not just defending himself- he's on the OFFENSE and that's good to see. Undoubtedly Hillary's supports will start there "So much for new politics" and "this is Change?" routines—but after he has been constantly attacked- you have to say enough.
Obama says enough to Clinton- and we say Enough to her and her supporters who just don't get it.

tom v.   April 14th, 2008 7:25 pm ET

You go HILLARY show Obama-messiah for being the fake, duplicitous manipulative white hating FRAUD that he is!

HILLARY FOR PRESIDENT!

all those statements said in a private audience to "fat cats"show his REAL colors when he thinks the cameras are off! a liar and fraud!

BO is an absolute joke….I've felt he had these "hidden" feelings about other people since he looked down on Hillary MONTHS ago and said "you're likable enough, Hillary." AND "I'm pretty sure I can get her votes, I'm not so sure she can get mine" He is soooooo bad…..

Jane   April 14th, 2008 7:25 pm ET

Any Hillbot who is still clinging to the idea that Hellary is a viable candidate is braindead. Free yourselves and cling to a positive candidate. Al Gore and Jimmy Carter want her gone anyway!

Barack Obama '08

Chris   April 14th, 2008 7:24 pm ET

I'm very, very saddened by this.

TJ Gorton   April 14th, 2008 7:24 pm ET

Hillary is going to ride this "Bitter" comment as far as she can, and I think it's going to backfire. It seems to me that many of the people from PA agree with Obama and are not insulted by what he said, and appreciate a candidate for once stating the frustration from this very region. Obama is definitely in touch with the people.

Also I think Hillary is starting to piss off Obama and the rest of the undecided voters with all this political crap and spin. Hillary your ship is sinking. Someone should of told her to stick to the issues instead of the pollitics.

OBAMA '08
Please, PA put an end to Hillary!!!!

nicholas hussein   April 14th, 2008 7:24 pm ET

I wish Clinton had something to talk about besides her opponent…
The appeal she deserves for simply being female wore off a long time ago…

Michael   April 14th, 2008 7:24 pm ET

So let me get this straight. Obama is just supposed to sit there and take everything the Billary is saying? Really? Everyone is say how hegative this race is well let me tell you something Clinton people. This race would not be negative if Hillary would stop attacking. Its the only way she has a chance. Lets go back to Ohio. Shame on you Barak Obama? What is she in the 2nd grade? Obama has tried to let it go but Hillary is relentless. Do voters really need her telling them what Obama meant? The reason she not gained more super delegates since super Tuesday is the party leaders know exactly what she is doing. She may have many "older white woman fooled" but not her own party. Which by the she had almost the entire democratic party wrapped up 15 months ago. Everyone was not against her. Its when she realized she was about to lose that she became Hillaryzilla.

HILLARY MADE ALL OF THIS STUFF UP, SHE DIDNT GET THIS INFORMATION FROM VOTERS IN PENNSYLVANIA, JUST LIKE THE BOSNIA STORY, SHE MADE ALL THE STATEMENTS UP. HILLARY AND SATAN WILL BE THE ONLY ONES IN HELL.

Observation   April 14th, 2008 7:24 pm ET

Hillary will stop at nothing to win the white House. After 4 years of Bush and 8 years of Clinton and another 8 years of Bush the American people would be crazy to let the Clinton's go back into the White House. Time for a Change.

Hillary please let it go and save some self respect for yourself.

Illinois   April 14th, 2008 7:24 pm ET

Great commercial, though I'm sure some Obama supporter will rip it apart. Her commercial speaks the truth. Don't people think there's a reason he made these comments during a CLOSED fundraiser meeting, amongst the company of millionares/billionares??? It's not like he made these comments during a stump speech in PA. No. He said it during a meeting when he thought no one was listening. What's wrong with this picture??? I hope McCain and Clinton take him to the cleaners on this one. As if the Wright issue wasn't bad enough…..

Wake up democrats. This man will NOT become the next president. And I seriously doubt he will even get the nomination, especially now.

Matt   April 14th, 2008 7:23 pm ET

Good grief. Does no one see that it does not even matter if he does lose PA? He has pretty much no chance of losing the election overall. USE THE DELIGATE CALCULATOR!!!!!!! CLINTON IS TEARING THE PARTY APART!! SHE WOULD HAVE TO WIN EVERY STATE BY AT LEAST 20% AND THAT JUST WILL NOT HAPPEN!!!

Vivian Sotelo   April 14th, 2008 7:23 pm ET

When the Presidential campaign began, I was in Senator Clinton's corner 100%; but every since she decided to pull the race card and her continuous personal non-issue attacks on Sen. Obama, I've lost so very much resprect for her. I thought for sure that if anyone was to run a "clean" campaign, she would be the one. Apparently, she is in denial that she is the one that is out of touch. She would have made this campaign so much more close in running if she just would have simply stayed with the issues and left the fact that he is Black or left the non-issue regarding his Minister and choice of his place of worship off of her list-to-do. Seems like the longer this campaign is running, the deeper the hole she's digging for herself. She will be much better off as the senator of New York; she's definitely not worthy of representing the Americans as the President of the United Staate.

TJ Gorton   April 14th, 2008 7:23 pm ET

Hillary is going to ride this "Bitter" comment as far as she can, and I think it's going to backfire. It seems to me that many of the people from PA agree with Obama and are not insulted by what he said, and appreciate a candidate for once stating the frustration from this very region. Obama is definitely in touch with Hillary.

Also I think Hillary is starting to piss off Obama and the rest of the undecided voters with all this political crap and spin. Hillary your ship is sinking. Someone should of told her to stick to the issues instead of the pollitics.

Matt   April 14th, 2008 7:23 pm ET

Hillary, you have scraped the bottom of the barrell..If you spent this much energy on your marriage…who knows…You suck!!

PULEEZE. . Why can't Obama supporters show some spine. He's recently said and done some DUMB things lately that show he's just not ready to be commander in chief. You were kicking Hillary under the bus for weeks. Now, those of us who've held our noses because we just didn't buy this very junior senator from IL are happy to see that others are also paying attention.

Hillary's ready from Day One.

ILoveAmerica   April 14th, 2008 7:22 pm ET

Has Hillary completely forgotten that she's supposed to be in the "Solutions Business?"

What problem does this ad provide any solution to - other than the problem (for Hillary) that most of us prefer Obama?

DO YOU REALLY BELIEVE ANYTHING HILLARY SAY, SHE HAS LIED ABOUT EVERYTHING. BLUE COLLAR WORKERS SHE WILL NOT CHANGE NAFTA BECAUSE BILL WILL BE VICE PRESIDENT, DON'T HURT YOUR CHILDREN FUTURE VOTING FOR HILLARY. YOU ARE FRUSTRATED BUT BECAUSE YOU DONT WANT TO SEE A BLACK MAN AS PRESIDENT YOU CLOSE YOUR EYES TO THE FACT THAT HILLARY IS DECEITFUL AND A LIAR.

CATHOLIC VOTERS PRAY DONT BE USED BY THE DEVIL. OBAMA IS LESSER OF EVIL, HILLARY GETS PAID BY THE DEVIL FOR SETTING UP EVIL SCHEMES.

Nick, Austin, TX   April 14th, 2008 7:22 pm ET

I'm so glad she is running this. If anything can push Obama over the top to a win in Penn. this idiotic add will certainly do the trick.

I'm surprised she didn't have the people getting up at 3 a.m. to say he was "out of touch".

I'm glad now that she has virtually no chance I can just sit back and laugh at her. Hillary should be put "in touch" with a good psychiatrist about her inadequacy issues.

Stezo   April 14th, 2008 7:21 pm ET

Clearly it's Hillary's campaign that is out of touch…hello Obama has change the face of campaigning in America…she needs to take notes. It’s time for the next Generation to lead this country into a new era. Old Politics has failed us…McCain is Bush II (well the Third if you count the first) Move over old Republican Farts and Clinton Family it’s time for change we could actually believe in.

Terry Martin-Murley   April 14th, 2008 7:21 pm ET

Hilary attacks Obama and talks about McCaine's great experience–we can't afford a woman who thinks she can win the nomination in this manner and get us to vote for her in the general after she has shown she is incapable of the integrity and honor required this time around in the office of the president.

PAUL PROVIDENCE RI   April 14th, 2008 7:21 pm ET

This add will do her in and the demorcratic party. What, she did not hear the reaction she received at her earlier speech? To run this type of campaign is low and she has no where go but down after this. I am really surprised at other demorcratic heads have not come up and told her she is hurting the party.

Blu Bastian   April 14th, 2008 7:20 pm ET

Why do you Obamabots keep bringing up the $$'s the Clintons have made since Bill left the White House. Do you really think that Obama's income would not increase if he spent 8 years as President? Why not ask him if he'll agree not to do speeches or write books for profit if he's elected. See if he'd go along with that?

Besides, Obama's snobbish, uppity, pompous, elitism has more to do with his superiority complex than with money. He just plain thinks he's better than us, and by us I mean everyone including you deluded fools that support the dude!

J from DAHOUSE   April 14th, 2008 7:19 pm ET

Pennsylvanians - Obama does not have your interest at heart!

sharong58   April 14th, 2008 7:19 pm ET

I would like to know when Hilary Clinton had all these life experiences in Pennsylvania, when her biography says she was born and raised in Illinois (who by the way, Obama won) and never mentions that she ever lived in Pennsylvania? What? did she visit her grandparents once a year? She probably has as much "life experience" in PA as she has "experience" in politics! Probably another one of her exaggerations (putting it nicely) or maybe she "misspoke" again because she was suffering from "sleep deprivation" again!

Daniel   April 14th, 2008 7:18 pm ET

Clinton is a liar and fraud, or just delusional. I never saw one ad from Obama about her sniper statement. This women has no honor and no morals and you people support this. You don't deserve Obama he is too good for you and thats your loss. Have your Hillary Clinton, have your John McSame and feel content in ruining the posibility for greatness to return to the Whitehouse. Eight years and you should have learned but you didn't.

Rex, Toledo, Ohio   April 14th, 2008 7:18 pm ET

I have Lou Dobbs on my TV at this moment and am discusded with his comments about Obama. Also no where has HRC have a20% lead in PA. Do your home work before you open your mouth as I saw you got in hot water on another issue of which I will not comment.

JCB   April 14th, 2008 7:17 pm ET

Hillary and Bill Clinton worked for every dime they have made — good for them. They gave ten million to charity — the tax return proved it. How much did Obama give?

Hillary just speaks the truth — and ignorant people attempt to distort what she says and does. Just like Obama does! He called Hillary Annie Oakley because of a discussion she had with voters in Feburary about gun control. She made her comments in Feburary — He jumped her and lied in April. April! Now he wants to make fun of her for drinking a shot in a bar. He does everthing he can to take attention away from himself when he messes up and shows his true colors.

Hillary did not lie about the danger in Boania — the airplane pilot defended her statment. She was slammed by a journalist — nuff said! She did not support NAFTA, and she should not be held accountable for it. She was not president at the time. Anyway, it takes more that a president to make policy. Blame Kennedy, Kerry, and Gore too!

Obama is trying to steal Hillary's votes in Michigan and Florida. If she was given the delegates she won there, he would be trailing in her dust. Clinton 2008 because Obama is a snake!

nikki   April 14th, 2008 7:17 pm ET

Annie   April 14th, 2008 7:16 pm ET

What baloney! Obama knows NOTHING about rural America, the people of the heartland. All he’s trying to do is drown PA in tons of advertising paid for by the latte-sipping folks in San Francisco he recently addressed.

If he succeeds at that, then he will be the “worst president that money can buy.” And we’ll have Michelle the Mouth as First Lady, and the fire-breathing pastor as White House chaplain. Maybe even Bill Ayers as the head of Homeland Security and Rezko as Secretary of the Treasury.

As for CNN…..Shame on them! Why wasn’t Sen Clinton invited back to the stage after the faith & politics forum? CNN has been pimping Obama since he first came on the scene, not even bothering to hide their fawning adulation, while simultaneously demonizing Clinton. So much for objective, unbiased reporting. More baloney!

ignorance   April 14th, 2008 7:15 pm ET

It seems that the Obama supporters are not from the educated and well informed high income demographic after all.

They are just full of hate and name-calling insults. They do not seem to know anything about respecting others and their lifestyles and opinions.

They believe you can bullu, insult and intimidate people into voting for Obama.

They do not understand the subtle nature of elitism and how it is bigotry and hatred and divisive.

They seem too naive to be able to see someone's true nature: the beauty within, not the pretty exterior that one can fake.

They fell for the Obama hype as hope. They saw a bandwagon and jumped on without thinking.

Elena   April 14th, 2008 7:15 pm ET

Why does the media give this ridiculous crap one iota of attention? I'll take an occasional misstatement from Obama any day over Hillary's incessant lying and distorted attack ads. Why is this the lead story on the news and not Hillary lying about Bosnia, Hillary having to fire her chief campaign strategist, Hillary's multi-million dollar income which makes her far more elite than Obama ever dreamed of, etc. etc.

Come on, media, you can do better than this. Give us the real deal on Hillary's attempt to steal this nomination through lies and distortions and John McCain's "let them eat cake" attitude toward homeowners in trouble. This country deserves better than your fascination with "bittergate"!!

Mary May King   April 14th, 2008 7:15 pm ET

Steve April 14th, 2008 6:35 pm ET

I think the ad would be more powerful if it showed Hillary getting misty-eyed, while loading a shotgun, while keeping her head down to avoid sniper fire in a bowling alley where she's been knocking back shots of hard liquor with pro-free trade reps who are arranging to have the factories in Pennsylvania shipped to China. Now THAT would send a powerful message to the 6 people who still care about, and believe what she says…..

Some people need to listen to the complete comments from Senator Obama. He was actually defending the people in small towns. He was saying that it is not about the color of their skins, but the issues and traditions.

Senator Clinton should have looked at the facts. I am totally replused by her and her campaign. Going forward, I will campaign AGAINST Senator Clinton. Any one that ask me about politics and Clinton will get the truth from me. I will make sure that everyone I know does not vote for her if she steals the nomination. Why? Because I now believe that Senator McCain has better morales than Senator Clinton.

Edith Stafford   April 14th, 2008 7:13 pm ET

Candidate Hillary Clinton is making much to do about nothing on the "Bitter issue". read the comments most people agree with Barack Obama's remarks on the bitter issue because they know his statement is true. I am beginning to wonder if senator Clinton now know she cannot win and is setting it up for McCann to win in November. I think she is the snake oil salesman and is none trusting dangerous and probably prejudice of a black person being President over her. This is not reality!!! Of course she will get some people to sign on as being against The remark but the vast majority who is making comments on the CNN news is against Hillary Clinton for making much to do about nothing and doing things to win at any cost. That is saying alot. Some news media is also making much to do about nothing keeping this nit picking mess going on. What Obama said is true. why don't they read some of the comments on CNN and make news about those comments. Because of the stir has cause me to reach deep into my pocket to donate to the Obama campaign to fight against this nonsense. This is about as low and dirty as one can get, Can't everyone see these kinds of stirs is up to no good. Go OBAMA 08 You had the right to say that remark as much as Hillary"s lie on Bosnia sniper fire is way worse than that remark telling it like it is .Some of these news media that are keeping the bitter issue going is letting Hillary of the hook. They see what Hillary is attempting to do yet they are letting her get away with it. UNFAIR PRACTICES. Greenwood Arkansas.

By the way, I don't agree with Hilary and John McCain on every issue. They are feathers of the same bird. All are Elitists from Washington DC.

James, CA   April 14th, 2008 7:11 pm ET

The media started calling the people of PA RACIST about 5 weeks ago saying there is no way Obama will win because of the blue collar workers who will not vote for him. Gov. Rendell called the people of PA racist when she said that there are people in PA who are not inclined for vote for a black man…so give me a break about Obama calling them racist! Do the American people care about this country? Why can't they handle the truth???

DNC look!!   April 14th, 2008 7:09 pm ET

The surprise is that the DNC doesn't see this man is poison for the party.

The left wing will not win the election…just like the right wing won't.

The great middle centrist unified America will win the election… and we all want Hillary.

The Democratic elders could not possibly continue to support Obama after witnessing his childish ploys… his admonitions not to parse his words, his lecturing and pontificating, his looking down his nose at the rest of America, and worst of all his mocking and jeering behavior towards the other democratic candidate.

He is very dismissive… anything but a uniter who can reach out to others.

john   April 14th, 2008 7:08 pm ET

HE WAS JUST STATING THAT SMALL TOWN PEOPLE DON'T VOTE ON THEIR ECONOMIC, B/C THEY DON'T FEEL THAT WASHINGTON HEARS THEM!!! SO THEY VOTE ON RELIGION, GUNS, AND OTHER THINGS THAT ARE NOT HELPING THEM OUT WITH THEIR MONEY!!!

IT'S REALLY SAD FOR THE NEWS MEDIA TO BE ALL ABOUT SOUND BITE, I WISH THEIR WOULD BE ONE STATION THAT STAYED ON FACTS… AND NOT ENTERTAINMENT!!!!

ds   April 14th, 2008 7:06 pm ET

Hey guess what? There's some truth in what Obama says. Offensive, probably. Truthful, probably. Unfortunately HRC is smart enough to know how to prey on those who can't look in the mirror and ask themselves why the words are offensive.

Sydney   April 14th, 2008 7:06 pm ET

Once again, Hillary is doing what she does best: "Spining" As far as I am concerned, the only one out of touch is her. She will do what ever she can to win. One word to describe this ad…..more like two, "SAD, SAD"

All of you Obama haters out there, well you just keep hating cause that's about all you really can do. hillary is down and out and she do'nt even realize it, or maybe she just does'nt want to admit it to herself.
OBAMA is going to win!!

Lee-- Dallas, TX   April 14th, 2008 7:04 pm ET

Bitter… Really? Why would we be bitter? Maybe it’s because the bankers who offered predatory loans are now "retiring" with multi-million dollar packages? Maybe it’s because we are struggling to pay our mortgages while the banks get bailed out by DC? Maybe it’s because our jobs have been shipped overseas, some by Bill Clinton. Yes, we are bitter, and there is nothing "elitist" about speaking the truth!

Still can't figure out what was untrue or false about what Barack said. It's just like most American's not to like what we see when we are shown ourselves in a mirror that reflects what truly is before someone is able to cover it up with falsehoods.

It's good to have a candidate tell America exactly what it needs to hear. It appears to me that his rivals are a little 'bitter' that they didn't expound on this issue first.

Ultimately, we all have reasons to be embittered, having seen our government hijacked by those who seem entirely divorced from our aspirations. Small towns are occupied by some of those who deserve to be most frustrated of all. Barack Obama recognizes that our bitterness is not cured by ignoring it or dismissing it. It is cured by talking about it — and working to replace it with hope.

Oh those Clinton - they are so mean. Give me a break Koolaid drinkers. The Clintons are not allowed to point out what an idiot Obama was in CA? Poor Obama! What a hypocrit he is - he attacks all the time and his "followers" are such whiners. You have CNN and MSNBC in the tank with you so quit whining.

As it happens, voters do care about his stupid remarks, so deal with it.
You know he got caught and you just can't stand it!

He is an elitist - someone who thinks he is complicated while others are simple.

bob toano   April 14th, 2008 7:03 pm ET

What a strange political season. Hillary flat out lies about her Bosnia experience again and again. She lies about why she lied (tired). Then her chief surrogate (Bill) lies about her lies. Obama uses the word bitter instead of just angry, and the Clintons along with the help of the press go bonkers over the words.

Then the candidate that is closest to the people and has spent much of his life working on their behalf in the streets of Chicago is accused of being elitist while the son of admirals and the Clintons that have made tens of millions get off with a slap of the wrist.

Hillary thinks that only she can beat McCain, when in reality in this political season only Hillary can get beaten by a Republican. Her negatives will continue to rise as she continues to polarize the democratic electorate.

Any democratic leader that supports Hillary needs to have a serious conversation with their conscience.

Karlie   April 14th, 2008 7:03 pm ET

How can he be so mocking and belittling and arrogant and miss the fact that he is being holier than thou?

How can he miss that he swaggers and brags and is full of himself?

Hillary we are with you and only you.

This ad is really lame. The people don't even sound sincere - are they REALLY from PA? I have talked to lots of people in Pennsylvania, and no one thinks this is even an issue, in fact they said Obama was right on in his comments. Hillary continues to attack him over and over about everything like a scolding mother, then when someone calls HER on one of her lies, she plays the victim and says "Oh poor little me, everyone attacks me, the media is so unfair." I am SO fed up with this phony.

Obama is a spoiled coward that has no spine he cries when anyone says anything againest him and blames Clinton even when he opens his big mouth and blunders. I WILL NOT VOTE FOR OBAMA EVEN IF I HAVE TO VOTE REPUBLICAN ANYONE WOULD BE BETTER THEN OBAMA. GO CLINTON 08

If Obama do not win Pennsylvania, Pennsylvania "s or stuid.

Now for Obama   April 14th, 2008 7:02 pm ET

When Obama hits her back, Hill supporters will say that he is not playing fair and will call him things like arrogant and a misogynistic snob. Hillary should never start something that she can't finish :)

I cant believe the levels you democrats will stoop to. At the beginning we had no chance to win election but now because of all the antics I believe we can pull it off. I personally liked huckabee but when he was done and it was obvious he couldnt win we united under mcain. Im glad you democrats are to stubborn and divided to unite under the candidate who is obviously going to win like him or not.
KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK. GO HILLARY IN PA
LOL
GO MCAIN IN NOVEMBER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

elitist or entitled? Hillary what color are thou?

Ken Murray   April 14th, 2008 7:02 pm ET

Hillery has little positive things to say lately, her campaign is falling apart with all her LIES.

Now she down to her last chance which is to goe Negative and if they
gave her awards for spin, Hillary and Bill would have shelves full of them.
She spins so much that Barack is being criticized by some for things he never actually said.

I was actually undecided between Sen. Clinton and Sen. Obama (I voted for Edwards in the NY primaries) until this past week. Senator Clinton has sunk to unfathomable depths to use the same sort of Swift Boat-type twisting of words of Senator Obama.

I anticipate he will weather this attack and go on to win the nomination. However, if Senator Clinton has inflicted irreparable damage to his candidacy to effectively squander the White House for the Democrats in 2008, I will be the first in line to campaign to get her ousted from her senate seat in 2012.

How can Hillary understand the people in PA when her husband is part of the reason why most of them lost there jobs..pushing NAFTA and supporting NAFTA. Wake up people, Hillary claim is the one who made over $109 Million since Bill left the white house. Whose top Adviser's pushing the Columbia Trade and Her husband made $800K for support the same trade..Yet she saying she disagree with her husband..prentending as if Bill did not share $800K with her.

David in Shawnee   April 14th, 2008 7:01 pm ET

Congratulations Hillary - you just caused me to commit to donating to your next opponent - unless of course you admit that representing NY is a sham and give up after you lose. Shame, Shame, Shame

MK   April 14th, 2008 7:01 pm ET

If I were choosing a way to lose half of my potential Democratic votes in November to beat McCain, Hillary, this would be at the top of the list. Pennsylvania, make your vote count - Don't get taken.

Stop Stirring The Cauldron Hillary   April 14th, 2008 7:01 pm ET

Oh good gracious. Would someone throw water on this maniacal power obssessed witch so she can melt and the rest of the people we actually care can get on with saving the country she has no respect for let alone it's citizens?

gerry   April 14th, 2008 7:01 pm ET

I think the one out of touch is the one still ducking all that sniper fire.

The one out of touch is the one, who's husband, campaign manager and communications manager all got paid for a trade deal which affects American jobs.

The one out of touch here, is the one who refuses to release lists for the presidential library and charity donators.

The one out of touch here, is the one answering that phone call at 3.00 AM and says " Monica would you send Bill home now."

The one out of touch here, along with her husband has now received over 1/2 billion in donations to their charity and presidential libray.

Linda   April 14th, 2008 7:00 pm ET

She has too much negative and divisive energy !!!!!

diane   April 14th, 2008 7:00 pm ET

What did you promise them this time Hillary?
It won't work. It will come back to haunt you. Think about it.

nikki   April 14th, 2008 7:00 pm ET

the add is ridiculous…HRC supporters are blind! how in the world can a person makes $109 million dollars be intouch with the average american…please wake up…bill & hill received an $800,000.00 payday from Columbia (the country people not the university)….

WAKE UP!!! for goodness sakes if you don't support Obama ok, but at least take the blinders off!!!!!!! or are all of you running from sniper fire in Bosnia

Obama 08′

America For Americans   April 14th, 2008 7:00 pm ET

I'm just curious as to how both senator's Clinton and Obama are not B\both equally electable. I mean I read these statements and people are claiming that Senator Obama is not electable; what exactly does that mean. Senator Obama is up 700,000 popular votes, he has 150 more delegates, and more than ten states won. Also, let’s not forget the Senator has raised 3x as much money over the internet from privat
