CNN

I originally started out thinking for sure I'd vote for Hillary. But I have seen a side of Hillary that I don't like at all. I'm from Pittsburgh, that city is a beautiful place and I pray that things turn around there. There is no youth there anymore, people my age (30's) don't stay there anymore...there is nothing there. I, for one, agreed w/ Obama. He hit the nail on the head. People are bitter...promises have been made and not kept for so long. He told the truth and she's trying sugarcoat it.
It's sad to see what is happening in PA, hell, all across the country...
Obama is the only one in this campaign who has been real...

Fool me once Clinton, but not twice. Hillary's husband enacted some of the most fascist gun control I've ever seen in my lifetime. To think that she is any different is to be naive. Having her criticize anyone on anything gun related is absurd. As for her religious creditability, I'm sure if you asked for her opinion on Corinthians, her comment would be "Don't we have a military base there?"

I hope the Pennsylvania voters will send a resounding message to Obama: your self-serving condescending attitude in front of a bunch of San Francisco millionaires will not be tolerated. People in San Francisco do think that the rest of the country is a bunch of uneducated morons who just follow religion and don't think for themselves. Obama was just winking and saying: "I agree, and I need more of your money to bamboozle those morons." He didn't know that it would all come out. Send this sleaze back to Illinois, remaining voting states!

Imagine this: BILL CLINTON BACK IN THE WHITE HOUSE WITH NOTHING TO DO!

P.S. Here comes the bathroom sink, toilet and everything in it, don't fall for it America!!

It's sad to see folks getting on Obama's case for defending himself. Hillary continuously picks at some very small details in Obama's campaign, and tries to turn them into huge issues. Then, when Obama calls her out on it, the Hillary supporters are saying things like "Looks like HE'S the bitter one...."

Well, wouldn't you be a little bitter, and inclined to defend yourself and your words if someone completely re-interpreted your words, just to benefit themselves...when the entire time, they knew better, and knew exactly what they were doing? She's no idiot. But neither is the American public. If she thinks these tactics aren't transparent to a good many people, she's quite wrong. And for those supporters that choose to go along with it....shame on you, too.

Someone makes a mistake in a hurry – why he is in a hurry and why he uses faulty language – is questionable. But what is more questionable is why should he try to his missiles on the wrong direction. Hillary has no reason to be blamed.

SHAME ON YOU OBAMA! You are a fake!!! Whenever you are up against a wall you come out fighting like a spoiled t0 year. Shame on you??? You need to think about what you say before youu say it! I grew up in a small town and I can tell you you have offended many people, not just the people of Pennsylvannia!

Oh, get a grip people! If saying "Shame on you" is bitter then Hillary was bitter a few months ago when she said it to Barack on the stump. All we have at this point is disecting what each candidate has to say and it is not a representation of any of them. Hyping this stuff is just bowing and praising the media for blowing it up. We are following right along like sheep. Remember the reason you are voting for someone and why you liked them to begin with. Search you heart instead of the web and then make your decision. If you like Hillary then great, cast your vote with pride. If you like Obama, vote for him and feel great about it. Stop the mud slinging and in the end your vote will represent that you are "for" someone instead of "against" the other. For myself, I am for Obama and I feel great about it!

Barack Obama is consistent, honest, and speaks the truth - even when it may be hard to take. He opens dialogue & honest debate. Hillary is dumbing down to the American people with her political pandering. Come on – shooting ducks.? If I had ever once considered giving her my over 50 year old female vote (which I haven't) - she lost it for sure with this.

this is a distraction from Columbia fiasco, Mark penn crisis. so obama has rightly dealth with. this woman looks like a republican.

So, no one has ever tried to state something and maybe got their words mixed up in trying to make a point? It didn't put me off in the least. To think that some people don't feel the way Sen Obama described is ludicrous. I know atleast in some part, he's speaking the truth so I can forgiven him if it didn't come out clearly. As for HRC, let's see, she says..."oh their just words." She says, "well I mispoke, I'm human." Give me a break.

Goes to show you who is really a typical politician.

Why didn't he lash out at McCain?

Because, he is the worse choice for President.

I'm so tired of "he said" "she said" "he said" "she said" So much for his oft quoted "change" in the way he will conduct politics. To effect change you have to be able to accomplish that change within our existing frame work. (Unless it is the intention to overhaul our entire political system). Bottom line is that Hillary is electable against McCain and Obama is not.. Obama's visionary persona may well have its time but that time is not now. We are in too much of a mess to think it can be solved without an experienced player who knows how to play the game and whose policies will work.

How aarogant and pompous does Obama have to get before someone actually takes some initiative and calls him out and KEEPS him out!? I hate it how he gets away with so many things like Reverend Wright, "Typical" white woman, Let's forgive Ferraro after I use her as an example, lets send out a four page memo of comments from the clintons that "COULD BE" racist, lets let an ad run in Nevada about how Hillary does not respect hispanic people and turn our backs to it, let's let our surrogates attack her and then I'll be the nice guy -but when her kids say something mean it's all out war!, and let's not forget, "Let her run."

Clinton has done some stupid things, but at least people hold her accountable a helluva lot more than Barack.

The facts....Barack Obama takes the high road, change the way campaigns are run. Did he make a big deal about her lie on the Bosnia flap...no way...didn't say a word.

He only answers to her constant charges!! He has NEVER resulted to attacking her on anything, he tries to have a fair debate on issues.

It's a refreshing change to politics, to bad the other people running and especially loosing cannot be so reputable.

Its funny to see how politicians such as Hillary Clinton make an issue out of honesty. Americans are bitter and do group together when they are struggling. Obama is dead on with his comments and actually has new ideas of solving our problems. Clinton offers us lies, NAFTA, a duck that she will shoot and cook, years of terrible judgements, and a sniper bullet that magically was stopped by her powers. She needs to stop pretending like superwoman and bow out. GO OBAMA!!

Up until today, I could at least say that if Obama loses the nomination, I would vote for Clinton. I always thought people were silly for suggesting leaving the party if their candidate loses the nomination, because there is a bigger issue at hand than one particular candidate. After this latest non-issue that Clinton has managed to turn into some sort of huge deal, my skin crawls at the thought of her. If my choices are Clinton or McCain, I may have to sit this election out. I have read and re-read Obama's comments and I've yet to see what the big deal is with what he said or how it could be misconstrued into something offensive. I'm still puzzled, and now I'm p*ssed.

this comment aint going anywhere if he wins the nomination. the republican party is salivating for the chance to rip obama apart and then what is everybody gonna say? that he was hoping his own words wouldnt get misconscrewed or he was hoping that another scandal wouldnt surface? this is just the party nom. why does he think he will be invincible from rnc attacks? he wont make it with 40% of the nations vote and mccain will be the next prez. as much as people dont want to hear it hillary is the best candadite against mccain because her closet has been emptied and magnified to the point that we know the hand we're playing. on the other hand obama is a gamble because who knows what will come out 6 months from now that will cause us to lose the election. he is the one who will doom the democrats. just watch and you'll see.

Don't get distracted people. Hillary is a continual liar and she's just trying to get everyone's attention off of her. And Hillary supporters can't say anything about Obama sounding vicious or whatever – she's been the attack dog all along.

This is stupid. People are bitter. God forbid anyone inject some truth into politics. This is how a man like George W. Bush can pe president for two terms. America needs to wake up and get real. God help us!

Right on OBAMA!! I'm angry, bitter, frustrated without a job, health care, or retirement. I'm a white woman ovr 60 & I HATE Hillary Clinton.
While Obama speaks truths in an adult fashion, Hillary talks down to folks in her condescending manner. Hillary sounds more like Bush than McCain.

IT IS A SHAME ABOUT THE NAME CALLING, DIRT DIGGING IN THE PAST AND CRITICIZING OF OPPONETS TOWARDS EACH OTHER. MY MOTHER ALWAYS TAUGHT HER CHILDREN THAT IF YOU HAVE TO TEAR DOWN SOMEONE ELSE TO MAKE YOURSELF LOOK GOOD, THERE IS NOT MUCH TO YOU TO BEGIN WITH!

What is he attacking Hillary for?

She's not the one who insulted small town America calling them racist, gun-toting, Xenophobic, protectionist, religous zealots behind their backs.

Look at the scoreboard!

No, shame on you Obama. You strike me as an arrogant man who has quite a few issues in your personal life that you need to work through. I am for Hillary Clinton because I believe in her strength and intelligence, not because I have any hatred for republicans or any oath of loyalty to the democrats – I'm actually an Independent. I know you think you can talk your way out of anything, but not everyone is swooning over you.

I'm also sick of hearing "does America deserve someone like Obama." And that time you were on vacation and they had pics of you up relaxing and even with you shirt off, all I could think was "oh god, is Brittany Whatch going to become Obama Whatch?!?!" Which makes sense... You are a marvel of marketing, complete with Oprah endorsement and theme song by Will.i.am ...

I'm not impressed. You're all wrong. Utterly and completely. I just hope it's not to late. I've already mailed in my vote for Hillary. I hope PA, IN and NC as well as Puerto Rico are enough to give Hillary the boost she needs.

SHAME ON YOU OBAMA!! Your real side is coming out. This Bitter Typical White person, remember that one, will NEVER vote for you!

The real question here is will THIS FINALLY BE OVER soon? Hillary and Bill are doing it again: cover up the truth of their behavior by attacking the man who should be our next President!

"Bitter" Is right! I lost my job in January, the price of gas goes up every 15 minutes, a job search these days is a joke, my bank accounts are empty, and all we get is rhetoric about "truth," and caring for "average" Americans from a political couple that not only will do anything to win, but had to squeak by on oh, ONLY 109 million dollars over the past few years!

Obama 08'

Well, I am now convinced. Hillaery is one of us. A whiskey drinking,gun toting, duck killing, church going guy with 109 million dollars of crooked Lobby group money.
Unless of course, Hillary's memory has failed her once again and it was a Bosnian Sniper that shot her ducks and not Hillary elmer Fudd.

Well, I'm disappointed in the cry baby, Obama; Shame on you!

If that's the best you can do, you'll NEVER be PRESIDENT!

BITTER, BITTER, MAN...

HILLARY FOREVER!

So what is your message Sen. Obama – hope or bitterness?

Go Obama–she panders so badly to whoever her audience is. Ahhh. Maybe she could have returned some of that Bosnian sniper fire if she's such a gun owner.

Shame on Obama for being at a California fund raiser and talking about Pennsylvani voters! Why is it he always misspeaks or what he meant to say was??

No, Shame on you BO. I wonder what else his wise guy say's behind closed doors.

Hillary 08

Let's let truth prevail in this election. I'm proud of Obama.

Shame on Obama!!

Trying to put the blame on Hillary for HIS views...straight out of his mouth!!

Obama needs to get out NOW!! He is a disgrace to all humans!!

The words came out of your mouth buddy,you brought this on yourself.

Obama is right on target, as usual. Who but the Clinton gang represent the elitist, corporate welfare crew of the Democrat party. Wake up America, do you really want the Clinton crew back in the WH? Time for change, and only Obama can really provide that. Certainly not McNutsy and his perpetual war and tax cuts for the rich.

I am bitter, angry, frustrated and fed up.

I worked for the mortgage industry for the last 20 years. Then I was forced by wachovia to train some foreigners

(I don't want to name them because it is not their fault, but the policy of profit at all cost and tax break for the outsourcers is the reason they were given the jobs in the first place).

When they went back to their country, my job and that of many others went with them.

Yes people ARE BITTER... I am more than bitter I am P. I. S .S. E .D. at the way the economy is looking. Hillary seems to think that people arent upset, that people all around this country arent jumping on the 'anti-immigration bandwagon" as a direct result of the economy.

They average american did'nt care about the influs of new people until it became difficult to put food on the table or gas in the tank. Hillary is blind to think that people arent Bitter.

And if you actually READ OR HEARD what Obama said you'd know that once again Hillary is twisting words and lying thru are teeth.

She know that people connect better with Obama because he actually seems human and she is taking aim at that... I started off as a Hillary supporter but she has just been getting more and more ugly

I am bitter. I will admit it. And Barack is just the person we need to get Americans back involved in our government. We support you Barack!

In Bill Clinton's book My Life, he said the same thing as Barrack's comments. It seems like Bill agrees with Barack more often than he agrees with Hillary. Hillary was right when she said her husband's not standing on the stage. You're right, Hillary... but at least we have Obama.

Obama is right people are bitter about the economy and the current job status all he did was tell the truth and the news media blew it up to something totally wrong get your facts right people.

This is the first time that I have heard a sign of true human feeling in "his every day stump tone". He is affected.

Hahaha

Regrettably, Hillary Clinton continues to become increasingly transparent. Her quest for the presidency is shockingly narcissistic and selfish. When you take a hard look at what this woman is all about, it fascinates me that anyone can be hornswaggled by her double talk. Obama may have his faults, as all candidates will, but he is far and away a more truthful and genuine person. Hillary is interested in serving her own interests and those of her cronies. Her ideas are ludicrous and have no basis in reality and she knows this. She will say whatever is necessary to get elected.

Im really happy that Obama is responding very fiercely like this. This whole thing about Obama's "bitter" comments are rediculous. I cant believe anyone even cares. Obama's right. This is just about Hillary trying to score points on every little thing. Obama should keep hitting back on this issue until Hillary stops. Hillary is elitist and has led an extremely wealthy lavish lifestyle for the past 25 years.

Shame on Sen. Obama! Not only is he elitist and out of touch with America's common folk, he is sarcastic (bitter?) about his own mis-statements! To deride Sen. Clinton as "Annie Oakley" is beneath him and he's hit a new low...

He'll never win in November! He's unelectable...

And why are people writing about Hillary Clinton here? THIS NEWS FEED IS ABOUT BARACK OBAMA. Why don't you Obama supporters stop changing the subject and START FACING THE TRUTH: your candidate – Mr. Obama – is a glib, elitist, arrogant misanthrope. Live it, learn it, love it.

Go Obama, !!!!! good for you to get back to her, she is used to mud people and sink them with her lies, and dirty politics............... AND since none none, including the DNC, and or the news are willing to stand up to Clinton Machine, and none is willing to say that they lie back and forth, and use the people and the news..

good for you for standing up,
Yes, shame on Hillary, how can she even bring this up, when she lied, lied about Bosnia, Nafta, etc... what does it say about her being elitist she is totally, she often said only the big states count..........what about that statement?then she laughed off the issue of lies, and Bosnia, etc..
by God when will th is end and will someone finally stand up to the clintons??

you know he makes some crazy comments all the time. This is another example of what happend to John Kerry. If yall want us to lose again keep supporting these comments if you want... Mcain will take over in Jan....

Hillary is right and if yall think she is bad yall haven't seen anything yet...just wait until we have a nominee.

Annie get your gun... You're gonna need it!

Obama 08

People need to calm down and look at the core of what he is saying..

people are frustrated about the direction our country is going (80% of Americans to be exact)

Let's focus on how we can get this country back on the right track!

OBAMA 08!!!!!

If being hostile didn't work for Clinton, why does Obama think it would work for him? I do believe Obama had the upper hand in the maturity department, but if he takes this attitude of "well she started it so I respond" crap instead of walking away, he's going to be headed in a losing direction. The people who support Obama in these times are just as bad as the people who supported Clinton when she got nasty. Well she's taking the smart route now, and waiting for mistakes just as Obama had done with her early on to build his lead.

It appears the roles have been switched. Though it might not help Hillary as it did Obama, she will have the upper hand to some degree.

If everyone here believes CNN is biased towards Obama, there is always the equilibrium: FOX News. I try to keep my mind open to all sources so I can see the full picture.

Obama is feeling the heat once again and he can't take it. He's had such an easy ride on the media train for the first 12-14 months of his run for president. Now these last couple of months the American people are getting to know the REAL Obama. If only the liberal media would have reported his ties to the racist/anti-American pastor/mentor/father figure before Super Tuesday primaries. That combined with the fact his wife was NEVER proud of the United States until her husband started running for president would have crushed him.

At this point, Obama is ahead in delegates so he may win the DEM nomination, unless the remaining states (primaries) wake up and realize who he really is and hopefully the Super Delegates realize the same thing too. Now with that said, no matter how many times Obama's supporters say the race is over, it's not! Neither one of the candidates will have enough delegates to secure the nomination with out the Super Delegates. Why should Hillary Clinton step aside just because some of the bleeding heart liberal politicians/Obama supporters are telling her to? Let the rest of the primaries happen/let the rest of American's have their say, anything can still happen at this point. Also, let the voters in Michigan and Florida have their say too, regardless of what the original 'rules' were. These people in Florida and Michigan want their votes to count. Obama is the one who has hired lawyers to block the re-vote to happen. He knows that if they did re-votes, chances are Hillary Clinton would win HUGELY in these states. If Obama does win the DEM nomination, this is just another negative on his side though, as many Democrats in Florida and Michigan will vote for McCain just o prove their point and we all know how important Florida can be in the general election.

Sadly, no matter who wins the DEM nomination, John McCain will still win in the general election. The Democratic party is so divided right now that it will NOT unite. If Obama wins the DEM nomination a HUGE percentage of Hillary Clinton's supporters will NOT unite around Obama and the same thing goes if Hillary Clinton wins the DEM nomination, Obama's supporters will NOT unite around her. The Democrats are screwed either way.

HOW LONG WILL IT TAKE FOR A PENNSYLVANIA WORKER MAKING 10 BUCKS AN HOUR TO EARN THAT 800,000 CLINTON RECEIVED IN HER JOINT BANK ACCOUNT FROM THE COLUMBIAN GOVERNMENT!

SHAME ON YOU HILLARY CLINTON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

"Great comeback, Barack!"? That doesn't even make sense. He insulted MIDDLE AMERICA. And you're not offended?! This is a tragedy...

Obama should tell Penn, if your not bitter or angry with what's going on in your community, if you think every thing is great for America right now then you should vote for hillary or mccain. You don't want or need change. This argument Hillary wants to make dosn't hold water, and it doesn't resinate with voters because they are angry and bitter about the economy that republican have created. How can Obama be called an elitist when he has worked his entire career in Chicago helping low income families, working with churches. His upbring was with a family from KANSAS, his father was an student from Africa. At one time they lived on food stamps. Clinton has made over 100 million dollars, and talks about her up bringing in Penn as her family's second home, when most American's are almost in forclosure.

People have to look past the headlines and the talking points and get to the truth about the lives of these candidates. Hillary says her upbringing has made her the person she is, I believe she should give Obama the same respect. Shame on Clinton

she's being silly Obama, ignore her ignorance and desperation.

Hillary Clinton has been the one keeping the rift going regarding Obama's remark of over a week ago. In a recent poll on CNN, 75% of the people did not take insult over his remark. SHE is trying to take attention off her own problems of NAFTA, Bosnia, the poor woman who died because the hospital wouldn't admit her...her "errors" at age 60 at 11pm when she's tired (what happened to the 3 am call?). Obama has a right to express his opinion. Afterall, she's been screaming about this comment for the whole week. Move on Hillary. Stop attacking over a week old comment that MOST people do NOT find offensive, but who find truth in.

Someone needs to check his comment more closely. The word "bitter" is not the problem. The problem word is "antipathy". He said they cling to their guns or religion or antipathy toward people who aren't like them...... The context was that he was explaining why blue-collar white men in small towns are not joining his flock. There is no way to explain this except that he believes they are prejudiced against him because of his race. He might as well have said they are bitter, gun-toting, bible-thumping racists. Again, he cannot ever explain that comment; the commentators need to start using the real problem word and analyze that–antipathy toward people who aren't like them.

Hillary is obviously phony.

You can tell why certain people on here support Hillary Clinton, and just as the exit polls and all the polling results show, they are the un-educated types.

Are you Hillary Supporters kidding me? You guys grab onto a sentence that the media has blown way out of proportion and you claim it as gospel. With a mentality like that you should go join the Republican Evangelical Christian base. They love to take just a few sentences from the Bible and claim that it's the end all say all.

I'm glad I support Barack Obama, I couldn't look at myself in the mirror knowing that if I was a Hillary Supporter that all my co-supporters are a bunch of idiots.

It was an ignorant comment he made. It goes to show he is not ready yet to do the job. If people want to continue to blindly follow him and defend him, so be it. I will not support him and these comments continue to reinforce that. This is a job interview for the most important job, not a popularity contest!

It's about time he stood up to that bitter old woman. I can't wait til this election is over and she and her husband are gone. It's time to vote in someone that hasn't been going along with all the old back door politics. I would like to see all the old poliitical dinosaurs voted out of office.

About time! Destroy her. She's been begging for it.

what a surprise, Obama calling out Senator Clinton while at the same time acting as though he "respects" her, what a joke! All I can say is Thank GOD that Senator Clinton has the Stamina and the Courage TO stay in this race, otherwise we would be stuck with this elitist jerk.
Hi charm may be affective in other places, but not here in North Eastern PA, where he directed his pathetic comments. How dare he! Then to go into name-calling at Senator Clinton, a Senior Senator? Is he nuts?
I cannot understand why it is taking the MSM SO long to uncover the truths about this guy. What is the deal here? Where are the reporters that dig into the past, finding those records of HIS past? We've seen all we can regarding Senator Clinton, now let's try some fairness, if that's even possible.. Never in 42 years have I seen such kid-gloves used with one candidate, what's the deal?
Baffled in PA,
Joey Lee*

I appreciate Hillary. By the time she is done with Obama he will be vetted and everything the republicans throw at Obama will be old news. And for those he keep saying why did Obama not say his comments in PA instead of San Fran, it was because he was asked a question in San Fran. But only those who care about the truth will research.

Just for my understanding. The base argument is. Vote Hillary because we already know who she is. But we do not know who Obama is. And so far we have tried to label him a muslim, a radical christian, anti-american, non patriotic, racist, and now an elitist.

Hillary however misspeaks, campaign for Nafta which she now is against, gave China favorable nation trading status, her husband receives 800,000 from free trade lobbying which she is against. And voted for a war which she is now against. Magically she is pro guns now.

It seems to me that the mispeaking and initial judgements of Hillary have cost americans thousands of jobs and lives.

But I should fear Obama because he might say something that is true but hurts my feelings.

America is so mixed up.

I'm from small town PA This was a true mistatement by Obama. He owned up to it but the underlying premise is quite true. I am more comfortable with a cultural clash than I am with someone who LIES AND LIES AND LIES about sniper fire when I pray with my neighbor who's son is in Iraq. IMAGINE hillary standing on the white house lawn fabricating. Obama could be campaigning on that but he chooses not to.

CNN: or Clinton National Network news.......... please you choose words that are so out of context............he did not lashed out.
Hillary on the other hadn, not has she only lashed out and billy boo too, but they LIE, they LIE
and you CNN cover and bury their lies time and time over.

I am sure you wont publish this comment.

Why is Barry such a coward. Time to start backing up what you say. These gun toting, religious nuts are bitter.

Lois, not only is that untrue, but it is stupid. Both candidates have been treated relatively fairly, only through your bias cannot you not see that. If you look at the political ticker mentions of all candidates, Clinton has by far the most, and many of them are positive.

Obama was right saying the people are bitter, and it is true that people are clinging to other things.

He used the same exact words Hillary did when he produced that one political add a month or so ago, except she sounded crazy.

You all are so biased, and you have been blind sighted.

Hillary thinks she smells blood and she's trying to divert the attention from her own problems with her raggedy campaign. I agree with Barack! Shame on Hillary!!!

I live in Pennsylvania. And yes, I'm bitter, but I have the Audacity to Hope!! YES WE CAN!!

Obama we know what you meant and we are npot stupid enough to buy into Hillary's political garbage, which she ofetn throws at voters and some poor idiots will believe it. They just don't know how t ohandle something or someone new. Those are the only people who believe her. Too ignorant to understand that saying the truth about what is going on in our country with some people, is real. Hillary will do whatever it takes to win, nott by her own reasons, but putting others down. That certainly is not the president I want leading the free world and especially our country.
Go OBama

Sure she should be ashamed. Obama said it just right. We the people know his statements are true. If you are not carrying some anger, or some bitterness over the state of our nation, then you are a fool or not paying attention. Sugar coating our dilemma is what has gotten us Bush/Cheney for the last eight years. Anger is a powerful tool it can bring much needed change. Only one candidate offers that, Obama.

what he says is right on the sitution this country is in is because of many years of bush and clinton politics if you were 18 in the late 80's you have only had those two chioces to vote for
it's time for a change in any other country that would be called a dictatorship
and that fake shot she was seen drinking ya like someone who makes 110 million dollars can relate to the working people
give it up hillary

Pulling a tooth out of one's is saying is like asking asking Sen. Clinton to tell the American people the truth for once in her life time.

Obama told the truth and people are having a problem with it. Obama's problem is that he has not been in washington and therefore , doesn't know how to lie and spinn words like Clinton.
I am typical white woman, and I will never vote for her.

Just what are Obama's "True Colors?"

I believe Black and White.

Fox News went to PA and interviewed people from small towns and asked if they were bitter. They said yes! They asked if they were offended by Obama's comment. They said no! Then they asked if they were Obama supporters. The guy said no, I'm voting for McCain.

So Obama lost his cool and CNN spins the news so it sounds positive for him. Nothing new...

The responses to Obama's comments are nothing but political correctness on the right. It is vicious, nasty and positively pathetic.

It seems to me that if anything the news media has backed off of Hillary and her misspeaks! Here is a person who continually tells mistruths and then defends them rather than accept responsibility for them. That sounds like our current president. Moreover, all I see Hillary doing is playing down to the voters and trying to tell them anything to get their votes. She really believes that voters are so dumb that they will not notice her constant changing of positions and her out and out lying. For example, she did not fire Mark Penn but kept him in the campaign and he will continue to reap his millions of dollars from her now and from the taxpayers if she becomes president as you can best believe she will be right there sending jobs over to other countries to satisfy all of the big corporations that have given her so many dollars over the years. Is she afraid that voters will not vote for the real hillary? I wish she would focus on honestly telling us what she is going to do and quit trying to denigrate her opponent. She completely lacks morals and so do we if we support this type of behavior.

I live in Pennsvylania and will NO LONGER be supporting Obama. He talks about not having a negative campaign but for sure has one! Go Clinton or McCain!

I am amazed that Obama (cult) supporters can't see that his pastor and his latest foot in mouth episode will be a problem in the November election.

Funny how Barry forgot all about McCain and the republicans saying the same thing Hillary's saying....

Don't you guys think this story is a bit loaded with, you know, bias? I think Chris Welch needs a lesson on how to summarize, because Obama's words have been taken so far out of context here.

Get her, Obama!

IS SHE KIDDING??? IT WAS JUST A POOR CHOICE OF WORDS, HE HASN'T HAD YEARS ON THE CAMPAIGN TRAIL. THAT IS WHAT I APPRECIATE ABOUT HIM. STRAIGHT TALK.

FIRST OF ALL I AM BITTER THAT SHE WASTES TIME ON THIS KIND OF CRAP. THIS DOES NOTHING FOR THE PRICE OF GAS, FOOD, HEALTH INSURANCE PREMIUMS, PRESCRIPTION COSTS (MY COPAYS ARE OVER $500 EVERY MONTH).

I AM SICK OF HER NEGATIVE TACTICS!!! SAVE THAT FOR THE REPUBLICANS. DOES SHE REMEMBER THAT SENATOR OBAMA IS IN THE "FAMILY"? EACH AND EVERY TIME SHE DOES THIS CRAP (AND I CALL IT CRAP BECAUSE IS SHOWS WEAKNESS), IT BACKFIRES ON HER! SHE NEEDS TO WATCH THE POLLS.

I AM MORE CONCERNED ABOUT THE ECONOMY, JOBS, EDUCATION (PRE-K THROUGH GRAD SCHOOL), HEALTHCARE AND NATIONAL SECURITY. (HONESTLY I DO NOT TRUST HER ON NATIONAL SECURITY AT ALL, JUST LOOK AT THE TYPES OF CRIMES PARDONED FROM 1999-2000 ON THIER WAY OUT OF THE WHITE HOUSE!)

IT IS NOT HELPING HER IS SHOWS "OBJECT REFERRAL" PSYCOLOGICALLY THAT SHE HAS TO LOOK FOR FLAWS OR WEAKNESSES IN OTHERS TO MAKE HER FEEL BETTER ABOUT HERSELF. IT IS A PSYCOLOGICAL WEAKNESS TO LOOK FOR THE WORST AND TO FEEL GOOD ABOUT TAKING ADVANTAGE OF IT.

I am from north carolina and I am not bitter I am mad as h***. Our textile jobs have been shipped oversea's and as a result the crime rate has increased, my church cannot keep it's food bank supplied, and there is no hope in sight. I just had to decrease my weekly grocery allotment from 100.00 to 75.00 for a family of four because the price of gas has increased again. NC is like PA in that we haven't seen any relief or jobs come to our community> We have been promised and have gov't sponsored economic development offices, but no action! We need jobs, we need a change. Look on the internet about Senior Citizens comminting crimes because the health care is better in prison than on the outside. What has our country become?

In support of Obama, I'd say what he did in San Fran was perhaps
"misspoke". That is "misspeaking" on a level I, a woman from a rural
Maine town that has lost almost all it's manufacturing jobs, can relate to because that is something we all do-miscalculate or misanalyze, rather than bring our precious Princess of a child to a war torn country and claim we were "under sniper" fire when, OOOPS, we never really were..."hahaha"... Oh gag me! Maybe if she drank a little less alcohol her memory might serve her better! Shame on you Hillary, but nice try-CHEERS!

You clinton supporters think obama messed up?Well i'm from a small town and i hear people all the time talking about bad economy nice to be able to have guns and saying the bad about illegal immigrants.Clinton is out of touch!I'm bitter too about the economy,obama is saying the truth.Can't even afford gas,people talk on the news about gas prices and they are upset about it!

HRC is taking another tip from the Republican play book. They also tried to paint Kerry as out of touch elitist to get votes.

I am bitter becuse the first woman to run for president has to be someone who lies, suggests that states and people and caucuses don't matter and results to the lowest tactics available to try to get votes.

Shame on her, I agree!!

I can't wait until John Mccain is well vetted.

go home hillary, you are making a fool of yourself – again. you have no chance so stop making things up. go shoot a goose or something.

You who are trying to pump up your egos by agreeing with Hillary, need to take a look at your current situations. I know more than 20% are sitting at your computers collecting unemployment checks right now because you've been laid off and don't know what else to do with yourselves in a time of recession and you can't find a job right now. You KNOW you are bitter and angry and you KNOW that Barack is correct in what he said. It's easy for the brainless media to take things Barack says out of context just to get ratings but let's be real here, With our current economic situation, the recession, the foreclosures skyrocketing, and our standing in the World today, can you HONESTLY say you are not bitter for voting for Bush and the Republicans? Come on.

"Shame on Hillary"

That is an overestimated statement...

Even Shame is Ashamed of Hillary

Obama- please do not throw stone in mud...
Just "ignore" her alone and move on...

Don't worry- Nobody listens to Clintons anymore..

Why would anybody lend credence to what Hillary or for that matter Bill says, they have long lost their credibility. Let's bury them fast as we can. People of PA should not should not embrace this demagogue.

Let's Not forget how she MIS-SPOKE (lied) about being under sniper fire...But you can't mis-speak about people being angry with the government..of course we are and of course we cling to what we know best, and for me that is my faith, my church, my relgious beliefs.

Every point Obama made is absolutely true, if you crasped what it was he was really tring to say, but the problem with America is we simply just can't handle the truth, not to mention how Hillary just blew this way out of context, just to take the focus off herself & Penn & Bill bringing up the Bosinia story again, oohh and the million dollar income they made..., Well I hope & I pray that this backfires, and her face in such a way, that the election is sealed, after PA votes...

Obama08

WHY IS IT THAT EVERY TIME SEN. OBABA MESSES UP AND IT IS ALOT MORE FREQUENT THEN IT SEEMS IT'S NEVER HIS FAULT. PEOPLE JUST DON'T UNDERSTAND WHAT HE MEANS .HE SOMEHOW NEVER SAYS WHAT HE MEANS AND THEN HE GOES THROUGH ALL SORTS OF EXPLANATIONS . TAKEN IN THE CONTEX OF HOW AND WHERE HE SAID IT THE WORDS SPEAK FOR THEM SELVES . DISECTING THE COMMENT WORD BY WORD AND TRYING TO MAKE EACH WORD MEAN SOMETHING DIFFERENT WILL ONLY FOOL THOSE WHO WANT TO BE FOOLED NOT THE INTELEGENT PEOPLE IN THIS COUNTRY.THE NEXT EXPLAINATION WILL BE HIS COMMENT LAST NIGHT CLAIMING REV WRIGHT WAS NOT HIS SPIRITUAL ADVISOR OR MENTOR BUT JUST HIS PASTOR MUST BE GETTING CROWDED UNDER THAT BUS

Bitter people who cling to guns and religion?

I liked Obama much more when i knew nothing about him... honestly, i think he's pretty socialist, and the man scares the crap out of me.

Voters are bitter. If McSame doesn't get it, it's because he's a Rep. If Annie Oakley doesn't get it, it's inexcuseable. Her own husband in 1992 said Bush Sr. was getting the votes of frustrated white men. I guess what's good for the goose is not good for the gander.

Or Hillary is just a political opportunist who will say anything and do anything just to win. That we don't need more proof for.

Irish for O'bama! Obama-Gore or Gore-Obama '08!

I'M BITTER,when i can't afford to go to the dentist when my tooth hurts

I think it is deplorable that Hillary has sunk to twisting his words beyond their meaning and intent. This is what we expect from the GOP but not in a primary! If Huckabee was slinging this much crap when he couldn't win they would have shot him in the face with Cheney's gun, but its fine if Hillary does it. I think Obama should finally just drive the nail in her coffin and start exposing her nonsense for what it really is.

I think Mr. Obama needs afew more years to grow. Mrs. Clinton has to lose Bill's misdeeds. The thing that make me support Mrs. Clinton is Mr. Obama wife's comment, I am finally proud to be an AMERICAN, if you not proud all the time leave. Mr. Obama has a problem with his religious leader, and some his backers. I don't trust the man, but if elected by the democratic party, I will change my party, I am for someone who loves the country all the time. Not only when they have something to gain by being elected.

James..i feel sorry for you. Not because of your plight, but because you're looking for the government to fix your problems.

if you want to fix your problem, go out and do it.

YOU get a better job.

YOU make a better life.

Tell me...what have YOU done to improve your life?

To be honest, you're exactly what Democrats want – victims.

Good luck.

I believe we should not give Mr Obama a break when it comes to comments such as these. Just be cause he is inexperienced is no excuse. We have to remember that as President he will be the symbol, the word and the opinion of the people of the United States that he represents around the world.

Opinions and perceptions are sometimes many other peoples realities, and in many cases their first impression of you, or as our President the impression of all people of this great nation. That first impression may be the long lasting one that could take years to repair if something is mistated or taken in offense. It is for this reason that experience in my opinion would have served hime better in this case.

I will cast my vote for the candidate who most represents my own values and who I believe will give this nation the best chance to grow stronger and rebuild ties on the word stage. I will not vote for Obama just to feel good about myself and not be labled a racist. Politics in this day and age should be about who can do the job the best and bring our economy back to the top and instill a sense of pride and patriotism once again. This is something I think all americans need get back to, for country not for self!

Obama, it's time to take ownership and responsability for your own words and actions. You are a total joke! Whether it's praising Republicans, not wearing a flag lapel, lies about Rezko, lies about Reverand Wright, lies about NAFTA, lies about ending the war in IRAQ, failure to hold committee meetings about Afghanistan, lies about not taking special interest money, you simply NEVER take ownership for your own words or your own actions! Of course we shouldn't be surprised as you even threw your very own Grandmother under the bus to save your campaign. Now it's Clinton's fault for YOUR calling us Pennsylvanians bitter? Pathetic Obama! Get over yourself!

This typical white, bitter, gun owning, church attending, rural Pennsylvanian person will NEVER vote for you!

I think that most people with a reasonable amount of intelligence could not only understand and comprehend Obama's remarks about "small towns" but most of us, (whether we live in small or large cities) could actually relate to and agree to his comments. They were speaking the truth. We are fed up and frustrated with the lousy economy, souring gas and other prices and war and blah, blah, blah. So Hillary enough already, trying to turn this into something it is not. It seems like you are the one out of touch if you don't realize how frustrated people are, but I guess someone worth 100 million dollars would find it hard to relate to us frustrated people anyway. You, (Hillary that is) remind me of a pit bull ready to pounce. Is this so we can forget Bosnia? Or the lies your husband told after your lies to cover your lies?! Remember Hillary, the circle of life, if you constantly dwell in the negative you receive negative.

shame on you obama for making another boneheaded mistake!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!our party is now on target for the republicans,you are insulting and bigoted and that is not the voice of change america needs,media and your supporters can candy coat all they want ,i have never seen more contempt for the common man come from anyone. you obama are out of touch period so please dont try throwing it back on hillary.

Bitter, yes! In Ohio the common practice is sending product to Mexico/China leaving so many of us out of work. We have fallen off the unemployment charts and are the forgotten. Forced into early retirement, buying our own insurance on a fixed salary, yes, we are bitter, frustrated with Washington and ready to vote. It is our faith, our family and our community that lifts us up in all hard times. Obama was right on while Clinton and McCain were out of touch with the bottom feeders of America. Thanks for listening, Rebecca, Ohio

Will the real Barack stand UP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!You can only hide the real youso long.

Senator Obama sounds bitter.

Obama said something insulting about hard-working Americans, and again he tries to sneak his way out of the fire by dissing on Hillary. She is simply pointing out the fact that he is not suitable to be president. He is just like George. He cannot keep his foot out of his mouth. Hillary 08

it is interesting that when asked about when she last shot a gun, clinton answered that it was not improtant. did she misspoke again about her recollection about learning to shoot guns. maybe her gun is stashed with her bowling ball and bag, along with that tape of the sniper fire in bosnia. it is really getting harder to believe many of clinton's claims and stories, because everytime she gets caught in a lie or mis-statement she dismisses it as if it were not important at all.

what is really sad is that this contest appears to be destined to go all the way to the convention. 'those who are unable to learn from history are doomed to re-live it"

OBAMA TOLD " BITTER"" COMMENT TO RICH PEOPLE TO GET MORE MONEY....

NOT TO AN OPEN PUBLIC....................

OBAMA NEVER TAKES ANY RESPONSIBILITY AND IT^S ALWAYS OTHERS WHO MAKE MISTAKES.........

she is desperate .to get votes...and she will do or say anything to get them

She is a sore looser

Obama 08

Did Obama not know that he would have to debate with the other candidates before he started his campaign and that they would probably have a different opinion than he did? He should know that Clinton will flip-flop back and forth until she bows out. It has been the strategy the Dems have used against the Reps for years.

Shame on you Hillary! You are milking the cow too hard!

If you say something stupid, how can you be surprised when it gets pointed out?

If you made a similar mistake with the Russians for example, we could all be blown to smithereens.

You obviously have a lot still to learn Barack!

Barack is right we are bitter, Hillary is not in touch cause she never had to struggle to get the basic in life that you need in this world to survive. imagine buildling your future and the next day its all gone and now its been gone for 20 years and nothing is coming and more and more is disappearing how will you feel HAPPY?

PS I DON'T THINK SO

Obama throwing a tantrum, not a pretty sight. Obamanites, be afraid, be very afraid.

Good Job Obama, now its ur turn to say that

I live in PA and I am angry and bitter about how our government has forgotten working people. I am angry that it is so hard to raise kids without both parents working. I am bitter that our government refused to admit that global warming is real.

GO OBAMA GO
08

My interpretation of Senator Obama's comments, was that "small town " America, are frustrated and bitter over a feeling of helplessness on issues they feel they have absolutely no control over, like the economy, jobs and the war, and typically fall back on the local issues they feel they have a lot of control over and issues where politicians don't dare cross or confront them. The Republican Party has hijacked the Second Amendment, the religious right, and anti-immigration fervor, and are using these issues not only to give blue collar and small town Americans the illusion of control, but they also use these issues to castigate and destroy their Democrat opponents. If you study the blogs and the topics posted by small town newspapers and media outlets, the chief issues, over and over again, are some Democrat trying to take our guns, God in the public schools, and illegal immigrants getting welfare and taking our jobs. Its an ugly debate, but someone has to say it.

Hillary is A disgrace......and I was going to vote for her..this was the last straw. how she takes one word and runs with it. Americans are bitter, I'm bitter that nothing gets done, i'm bitter that we can talk about one word for 3 days and not talk about jobs and the American dollar plunging....but yes!, it's ok to talk about "BITTER"!!!
CNN, STOP PRINTING SMALL STUFF LIKE THIS!!!
TALK ABOUT HOW I AM GOING TO MAKE MORE MONEY, OR HEATH CARE. I AM BITTER CNN!! DID U HEAR ME?
I AM BITTER!!!!!!

HilLIARy is doing all she can to throw this election to the Repubs. Obama tells a truth that others can't handle and she attacks like a rabid dog. She tells outright lies and says "so what, I was tired, I'm human" or just laughs at legitimate questions about her policy towards Columbia. She can't lead her campaign, nevermind a country. Do ya think Obama will choose her for VP? Our country deserves better.
Obama '08

Shame on Obama on going to California to talk about Pennsylvania voters behind their back. Shame on Obama for attacking basic principles of American voters–the right to bear arms and freedom of religion.

Someone please explain this logict o me Hillary makes over $100 million Obama just made his first million who is is an elitist? who is more likely to be "out of touch" with the American people...I rest my case

This is really funny coming from someone like Obama. He is the one who should be ashamed. You can sure tell who cnn is pulling for, you make it so plain. You show Obama every few minutes and what he says, but its like pulling teeth to get you to say anything good about Hillary., so shame on you!

Obama is right. I am bitter. A lot of my friends, family, and coworkers are bitter. We work hard and keep getting farther behind. I believe most of America is in the same situation. Religion and faith are clinged to more in these hard times. Obama is not only IN touch, but right on the mark.

This is like the pot calling the kettle black. Oops! Can I say that? Neither Obama or Clinton has the integrity to be President. They are both lying, scheming weasels with much to be ashamed of. I am disgusted by both of them.

"If you can't take the heat, stay out of the kitchen" comes to mind immediately. Barack will be in big trouble if he reacts this way everytime someone calls to his attention that he put his foot in his mouth and misspoke again. Maybe he's a little frustrated and bitter.

Now who's being silly?

Obama's a fighter! Go get em Obama.

I agree. Clinton understands that people don't like her. Her only hope in continuing her desperate bid for a nomination which she feels is owed to her is to see if she can make people dislike her opponent as much as they dislike her. She's hurting herself and the Democratic party and should see the handwriting on the wall.

People of Pennsylvania, please put an end to this tragic and desperate circus. Hillary can't win.

Once again, Obama does something stupid and blames Clinton for the fall out. Oh, and thanks CNN and Headline News for your spin on his original words. It's nice to see you're giving Obama the benefit of the doubt. After all, why call him on what he actually said? It's much better to report what he "meant" to say. "Bitter" was the least of what he called middle america. The bigot part was what sits in my craw, and you and most of the MSM seem to think that's unimportant. Let's see how unimportant Penn. finds it on the 22nd.

I'M BITTER,when i can't pay my gas bill, telephone bill and light bill

I'M BITTER, when i look in my bank book after a 60 hr work week and have crumbs

I'M BITTER, when i look in the refrigerator and there is nothing to eat

I'M BITTER, when gas price top $3.50

I'M BITTER,when i can't afford to go to the dentist when my tooth hurts

I'M BITTER, when i have to look for the sales item in the grocery story just to be able to eat

I'M BITTER, when my goverment seem to not know my plight

I'M BITTER, when my tax's are more than i have in savings

I'M TIRED , I'M FEED-UP AND I'M BEATEN DOWN, TRUTH BE TOLD , WAKE UP AMERICA , THIS ISN'T THE WAY I WANT IT. ALL I WANT IS A CURE

Obama needs to go back to his roots, whatever they may be.

It seems that every time Obama speaks the truth he gets nailed by the liar. I guess in politics it doesn't pay to be honest. Abraham Lincoln wouldn't stand a chance in today's political world.

Obama why shame on Hillary? The words came out of your mouth not hers!

Obama is an elitest. His wife has said enough for me to not vote for him. And calling small town people "bitter" is just rediculious. I am tired of all this bickering. I hope Al Gore runs as a third party candidate. I'd rather vote for him...

this is so funny....Right Back at cha..Hillary is all about political GAIN

Keep trying to reframe the issue, Obama. You MESSED UP! Own it.

Clinton '08

Go Obama. He only told the truth. The Clintons are liars and she's grasping at straws now.

"Hillary Clinton calls Barack Obama elitist? Really? Hillary Clinton was a
corporate lawyer who sat on the Wal Mart board before becoming First Lady and is now worth over $100 million. Barack Obama is the child of a single mother raised in part by his grandparents who went to school on a scholarship and was a community organizer making $12,000 a year before becoming a law professor, lawyer and state senator. Five years ago he was still paying off student loans. It's a bogus charge."

Funny, I have no problem understanding what Obama is saying and the context he says it in. Clinton's desperation is getting old and tired and I'm fed up with her taking stupid shots at Obama instead of McCain. What is wrong with this woman? Is she really in such shock about this election NOT being the cake walk she thought it was going to be? Because of her and her nonsense, McCain is gaining ground – and who would ever think that could happen? Start attacking the real enemy Clinton.

I agree. I've said all along that she is little more than Cheney in a pantsuit and this latest little bit of nonsense from her proves it. She is the worst of old style politics.

My family lives in small town America. We're all voting for Sen. Obama. He's right. We agree with everything he says about our people feeling bitter. We've been kicked in the teeth so long that we don't feel anyone in Washington hears us anymore. Well, they hear, but do nothing.

Obama is feeling the heat once again and he can't take it. He's had such an easy ride on the media train for the first 12-14 months of his run for president. Now these last couple of months the American people are getting to know the REAL Obama. If only the liberal media would have reported his ties to the racist/anti-American pastor/mentor/father figure before Super Tuesday primaries. That combined with the fact his wife was NEVER proud of the United States until her husband started running for president would have crushed him.

At this point, Obama is ahead in delegates so he may win the DEM nomination, unless the remaining states (primaries) wake up and realize who he really is and hopefully the Super Delegates realize the same thing too. Now with that said, no matter how many times Obama's supporters say the race is over, it's not! Neither one of the candidates will have enough delegates to secure the nomination with out the Super Delegates. Why should Hillary Clinton step aside just because some of the bleeding heart liberal politicians/Obama supporters are telling her to? Let the rest of the primaries happen/let the rest of American's have their say, anything can still happen at this point. Also, let the voters in Michigan and Florida have their say too, regardless of what the original 'rules' were. These people in Florida and Michigan want their votes to count. Obama is the one who has hired lawyers to block the re-vote to happen. He knows that if they did re-votes, chances are Hillary Clinton would win HUGELY in these states. If Obama does win the DEM nomination, this is just another negative on his side though, as many Democrats in Florida and Michigan will vote for McCain just o prove their point and we all know how important Florida can be in the general election.

Sadly, no matter who wins the DEM nomination, John McCain will still win in the general election. The Democratic party is so divided right now that it will NOT unite. If Obama wins the DEM nomination a HUGE percentage of Hillary Clinton's supporters will NOT unite around Obama and the same thing goes if Hillary Clinton wins the DEM nomination, Obama's supporters will NOT unite around her. The Democrats are screwed either way.

He still can't get it right. Hillary is against the Columbia trade deal, not for it, and he once again is trying to twist what she is saying to the people. You can tell that he is getting frustrated and bitter, because people are finding out that he is just a talker and not a doer. I say be careful of the Snake Oil Salesman known as Obama, he will bite you in the end.

How DARE he try to pull this crap. Shame on HILLARY?! Shame on SNOB-ama for reacting like a four year old when a real politician calls him out on his stupid, ignorant, elitist remarks. He should drop out of this race and resign from the senate.

thank god for barack obama´s plain speaking after all these years of clinton deviancy and misguided leadership, let alone lewinsky antics i the white house. we deserve better. keep up the good fight barack ´´ the voters have seen through the 110 million dollar veil of subtrafuge. cheers,

I wonder why Obama won't go ahead and do what it takes to knock Hillary out of this race. He has all the ammo that he needs. I understand the kind of campaign that he is trying to run and I totally respect him for it, however, I (as well as others) are just sick of Hillary and wish she would just go away. She is so mean spirited and will do or say anything to win.

The minute any small thing happens with Obama, she pounces when we all know that she is a lying, cheating hipocrite who thinks she is entitled to be president.

I pray the people in this country will wake up and realize what we would be getting if she becomes president! She doesn't care about anybody but herself!!

WAKE UP AMERICA! OBAMA IS THE BEST CHOICE!!!

Big shame on you Hillary Clinton.

When you gaffed on sooooooooooooo many occasions,Barack didnt pound on you ,now you take delight in pounding him from every angle.

Big shame on you Hillary Clinton.Desperado .Hallucinator,
We know you are just gasping for survival but this time you WILL sink to HELL.

END OF GAME.
DEMOCRATIC NOMINEE: BARACK OBAMA.

On Obama's "bitter "comment: It was definitely the wrong comment, talking" under the clothes" (behind the backs of), the small towners Pennsylvanians, to his $2300 donors. Moreover, His remarks bring to mind Karl Marx's "Religion is the people's opium."When I hear Obama speak and think, I see and feel the presence of Patti Hurst and Bobby Seale.

hillary is comander and chief of NON TRUTH.

"typical " Obama–blaming everyone but himself for his own arrogant, loose comments. If he is to be President, he needs to think before he delivers his tirades against the American people. I would have more respect for him if he would just humbly apologize and say "I was wrong, wrong, wrong".

Obama being an elitest? And just who does Hillary think she is? She isn't one of us... never has been. She's had a silver spoon in her mouth since the day she was born... and her daughter has no room to talk either. Obama is a great example of the American dream... and will take the country to great places.

Excellent comenack, Barack...and now for the Clintonian whiners...

OBAMA 08

His sarcasm, his condescension are negative. He used to accuse Hillary of running a negative campaign out of desperation and now he is desperately doing the same. The knight in shining amour is a sham. His comments make him look adolescent and rude.

I am very conscious of the nuances used in reporting on the political dialogue between the candidates. I was not surprised to see CNN use expressions like "lashes out" in describing Senator Obama's rebuttal of Senator Clinton. There are all kinds of ways to articulate bias, and slant news coverage. I think CNN has crossed the line in the way you continue to report on Obama's "bitter" remarks long past the time the shelf life has expired, and focus on Hillary's political initiatives:HIllary on crime, Hillary on healthcare. Hillary on tougher trade initiatives. Suddenly Senator Clinton is not about attacks, she is about policy? And Senator Obama is "lashing out" and he doesn't discuss policy? The voters aren't that stupid. Please quit using that "unfiltered" descriptor. It is dishonest. I watched Candy Crowley talk about the softer, more humorous side of the candidates. You showed actual footage of MCCain and footage of Hillary, but you only mentioned Obama in closing. Guess he isn't warmer, softer, funnier. Be careful CNN. Your credibility is slipping.

It was not the bitter comment that bothered me, It was the rest of the comments. I feel he compaired us to a bunch of hicks who had no where else to turn but guns and religion. CNN seems to have overlooked the rest of the comments when doung their story. And to tell you the truth, the way he described Clinton last night shows what an idiot he is. He spent a week trying to bring himself "down" to our level to get our vote. To act like he was one of us. Please!!! He said something at a time when he he thought it would be ok. When he didn't know it was being recorded and now he is once again trying to convince america we are like that. He had to cover his wifes tracks. Just like he hav to cover Wrights comments. Lets look at the bigger picture. Lets look at this man again. For the sake of our country we have to.

I don't know about other people in small towns in america but I am bitter about the way the government has overlooked and turned their backs on the many small towns across America that see no stress being placed on replacing the jobs that have left. Do I have to move my children to the gidlock of a major city just so they can get a good education and job? NAFTA sure didn't help any, and what about the pregnant lady in Ohio, do you think her family is bitter about their situation? That's what Hillary kept saying until we found out that it was another lie. I don't know what people Bill and Hillary have been talking to but I'm not joyful about the prospects of loosing my home, job, pension or anything else that I have worked all my adult life for. You best believe I'm bitter and glad that somebody realizes it for a change.

Bill stated that the people that he met in North Carolina are proud. I challenge anyone to find five or more people that are proud that the job they had for the last ten years is going away. Show me someone that thinks that loosing their livelyhood is just another opportunity to start over. How many of you wish that your economic situation gets worse tommorrow just to prove that you are a proud American.

Each politician should be out talking and listening to the people of small towns and communities for input. Maybe just maybe they might find out the truth. Pride is nice to have but it does not put your kids through college, pay your mortage, and it surely won't pay for health care.

If all of the population in these small towns and communities were not upset why do we have so many politicians making so many promises every election year about creating jobs?. If we are so happy why is there arguments about more people coming to the country?. If we are so resilent then why haven't these small town regain the employment that left? If everything is booming in PA like the current Governor claims why is the employment rate in PA higher this year than last year? There are alot of questions that need to be answered and if you really want to know the truth send a news reporter to the unemployment office and let them get the scope there. It doesn't make sense asking someone that has a good pay job how they fell about employment.

Hillary Clinton is a sad caricature of everything that is wrong with American politics.

I am from a small town in PA. Yes, I am bitter. Obama is right. He understands the voters. Hillary is the elitist. Her and Bill have lived the high life in NYC. What does she know about me? NAFT is the one that destroyed my town. Now, retail and service jobs that pay little with no health benefits. The young moving away to find better jobs. If they can't, they join the military for a better life. They landed up in a war that Hillary voted for. Lives destroyed. Cost of living thru the roof. Gas prices skyhigh. Paycheck to paycheck to pay the bills. YES I AM BITTER!

Obama 08!

Now, see who is running a negative campaign.
The fact is ,the true Obama has stood up.
The more he tries to explain his remarks the deeper he sinks.
Now both his shoes have fallen off.
All Hillary has to do is hold on
and skeletons will begin falling from Obamas closet.
I say Obama is un-electable.

Hillary needs to wake up and smell the Coffee.
Its hard out here.
My faith has nothing to do with the way I feel.
I trust God,
Its a saying in the bible. Knock and the door will be open, Seek and ye shall find, Ask and it will be given.
I've, knocked, seek and asked. But with this new Government, its hard to get an answer.

Obama is a smart man, I believe. I also think his comments in San Franciso were what he meant. After all...why would so many pundits go on national television and say he is speaking the truth, and people just don't want to hear it? Or the calls from Obama supporters to NOT apologize for his comments?

I don't think Obama really gets it. People don't "cling" or turn to religion because that is what "they have left."

For some people, Faith is the cornerstone of HOW they live their lives, both in good times, and in bad times. I personally struggle with faith...unfortunately, sometimes it is easier to talk to God more in the bad times, vs. the good times. But not because of anger or bitterness, but because during good times, I have the misconception that I am the one in charge...during bad times...I get a reminder I am NOT the one in charge!

STAY TOUGH OBAMA LIKE THAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
DON'T LET THIS WOMAN KEEP ON PLAYING LIKE THAT!!
SHAME ON HER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
YES MR. PRESIDENT WE ARE BITTER!!!!!!!!

You've lost the nomination. Give us space to breathe now!

how does politics of Hope become politics of betterness? FAKE OBAMA

This is a man, who is out of touch with America and its people. Shame on him!

Obama : Disgace to America

Shame on you obama for looking down on small town PA. You made the comments, not hillary. Whenever somebody calls barack on a "boneheaded" mistake, he turns it around to look like he is being attacked.

That's right Obama!! You tell her!! She really will say anything and everything that is convenient and popular in order to reach the particular audience she has. At least we can count on Obama to say what he truly believes and what he thinks, even though many Americans are not ready to face up to the issues that we face in this country. Obamba will get us there!

OBAMA '08!!!

Good for you Obama! I can't even fathom how difficult it is for this man to try to run a clean campaign when he has people dissecting and parsing his words and making desperate attempts at defaming him. At the same time, this woman has no shame, with her gun toting, whiskey drinking antics in Pennsylvania. HILLARY is the one taking the voters of Pennsylvania for fools, shamelessly pandering to them. I don't blame him. I'd be a lot angrier than he is.

When your down and the game is on the line all you have left to do is foul. Expect nothing less just make the free throws and play D!!!

Obama 08

Busted

Obama's comments are condescending and arrogant. The word "cling" has connotations of a childishness and lack of considered judgment and thoughtfulness regarding the grounds for faith or a claim for the right to bear arms, as much as I am opposed to arming everyone as prudent policy.

People may find comfort in religion in hard times, but few religious people would like to see their practices reduced to the equivalent of thumb sucking of a child's blanket. Also, the pairing of religion and guns makes both sound as if they are sources of buoying up flagging self esteem, not seriously held beliefs about God or individual rights. In fact the most condescending thing is Obama's implication that small town Pennsylvanians are uneducated–motivated by belief more than knowledge. Like Obama's "typical white person" comment, his words imply someone given to writing off groups with glib generalizations.

I lost my job, my retirement and 401k, but I am a happy person, thanks to the Clintons NAFTA program. Having the Clintons cut a deal with Colombia for $800,000.00 makes me bitter. I lost everthing I had been working for, but Hillary says I am happy because I can start over again. The Clintons sure know how to put the working people down. Thanks Bill and Hillary I am happy to be working for $7.00 a hour and no retirement.

Again we see put-downs when anyone gets close to the real Barack Obama. He has a propensity to criticize all that is wrong with us and our world(s), but doesn't want to receive criticism unless it's from a source he deems viable? Oh, if all of America could choose his/her critics so wisely. We would look just as perfect as Daddy O.

Annie Oakley was a cool gal in my childhood. I loved Hillary's comment and look forward to many more insights into the real girl/woman/leadership traits she has demonstrated through her life.

...why parse his statements? The true message he was trying to convey is somewhat distorted in your first paragraph. Please, CNN, let's err on the side of painstaking accuracy...This weekend's flap should have made the need for such caution painfully clear.
Your first paragraph could be misconstrued as an attack, by proxy, on Annie Oakley.

Obama has good reason to be mad at Hillary Clinton over her position on 2nd amendement. It is very clear that she saying what ever she has to win PA – her voting record clearly is not very Pro Guns.

At Obama is being honest with his position – Clinton is not. At the very least – she seems to be flip flopping her position on guns since campaigning in PA.

The Clinton's should switch to Republicans because after this Election we will have seen how they tried to take down the democratic nominee and the party for thier own selfish goal for the presidency Shame on you Hilary! Shame on You!

Being some one who people question his faith you would think he chooses his words better since he says "words matter". Now instead of owning up to his mistake he chooses to tear down his opponents. Does he really expect his opponents supporters to back him in the General Election after he ridicules their canidate? He's not trying to unify the democrated party so how is he going to unify the country since he feels the people from small towns are bitter, God loving, gun toting bigots? McCain should be happy, the democrats are giving him the White House.

I agree with you Obama. Hillary should not attack him in that way. Anything to make her look good but remember her husband wasn't that good.

He sounds a little "bitter".

I hope the veil has been lifted over the voters eyes, and that they can now see what type of person Obama really is

In one of your other articles you quoted Senator Clinton as saying, "The Democratic Party, to be very blunt about it, has been viewed as a party that didn't understand and respect the values and the way of life of many of our fellow Americans."
As a voting Democrat but NOT a party member I have to agree that Democrat candidates either don't understand and respect our values, or don't know how to express their support without offending the fringe groups.
Well guess what – the fringe groups will not get the candidates elected. The candidates need to get their priorities straight. If Senator Obama's comments came off as offensive to average Americans then he had better apologize in no uncertain terms if he wants to get the votes of us average citizens.

I don't see how anyone can like Barack Obama. On one hand, he makes speeches on how race doesn't matter. On the other hand, he is making fun of Blue collar workers, their culture, and their religion. Further more, he defends his comments. It all adds up to a man I don't trust.

I have to wonder what some of the leaders of our country and the media are thinking these days!! The media seem to disect every word that comes out of Barack Obama's mouth and put a negative spin to most of his comments but they never seem to do the same to Hillary Clinton when she openly makes false statements and when confronted she just gives a chuckle and shrugs it off. The media does not continually play 24/7 all of her falsehoods nor disect the obvious reasoning behind her statements.

Every day people understand what Obama said. The talking heads on t-v do not get it.The worst the economy gets the more people you see in church praying for things to get better.We need to be real about this.

I am with Obama on this one. Hillary is so desperate to become the nominee that she is willing to say anything, attack anybody and destroy the Democratic party. She needs to give it a rest. Better yet, she needs to go away . . . now . . . quietly.

Obama sounded very sexist here with the Annie Oakley statement.

I am VERY offended by Obama's remarks. I am a registered demo. but if he gets the nomination my husband n I will vote McCain.

The Clintons have no standards, and will do anything to win the nomination, even if it requires destroying the Democratic Party irreversibly.

Is there anyone from the 2000, or 2004 voting public who will apologize for voting for George Bush?

That elitist tag is not for Barack, but for Bush.

We now see the true OBAMA.

America beware!

GO HILLARY

HILLARY FOR PRESIDENT

No Barrack. She truly does not know better. This is the core of the Machevellian Clintons. Do or say anything to gain power and wealth. Just remember this when it comes time for you to name a VP.

This campaign for the Dems have been an eye-opener for me. I really didn't know the Clintons and now I do–they're liars. I can't wait to vote for Barack Obama, my next president.

Obama 08

NO... Shame on you

Its shame on Barak Obama

"'What's her name' is!" what is that? and why would CNN even report that?

The Clintons are liars.

Obama 08

Bitter, party of one, your table is ready.

Hillary's Last Stand:

She will do and say anything to win. To erase the Bosnia flap, Hillary will seize on anything. It will not work. If they want to spend another week slamming Obama, have at it. It won't work.

Testify Obama....she is just throwing another kitchen sink moment. Keep up the good fight.

Good for you, Obama! Time to stand your ground.

Typical, Obama screws up and he immediately blames Hillary Clinton for it. Take responsibility for your own actions Obama! You insulted small town Americans – That's not Hillary's fault – It's Yours! Maybe if you weren't the type of guy to "cling" to a racist hate mongering church for twenty years, you would realize how wrong your views about small town American values really are.

She's tearing down Mr. Obama at the peril of the democratic party. The kitchen sink strategy while grasping at straws is transparent and unfortunately disheartening.

Obama sounds desperate. He made the elitist commment, maybe he should make another speech or just hope.

Anyone else notice how the Clinton team pounced on this statement, Bill, Hillary, the entire campaign staff. Anyone else notice that Barack did not attack Hillary for her Sniper fire lie.

This is the reason I'm backing Obama, I'm tired of the politics of personal destruction that the Clinton's play so well.

BO insults Bush. BO insults McCain. BO insults Bill. BO insults Hillary. BO spoke ill of Granny. Michelle dont like America. Rev. insults America. You spoke ill and insult me and alot of other Americans. I would like to see the top Dems. step in and tell you enough is enough. You cant lead us when you cant stop talking badly of us. What have you all got to say about the rest of the world?

Obama supporters are seeming more and more like a cult... its scary...

Who cares what Hillary says at this point. We all know she lies.

Obama 08

He's right, she's using the Republican talking points. It sounds as if she is a Republican in Democrat clothing!

I will buy a ticket for Denver, if Barack is the candidate. If Hillary is the candidate, I will buy a ticket to go to the movies.

Obama 08

The last time hillary use the expression "SHAME ON YOU" she was very down
Is it the case for obama now?

that "proverbial" pointing finger, watch out for those pointing finger

This man is showing what he really is all about..and it is not good....he is a wofl in sheeps clothing.....all you Obama supporters better take a real good look because he is not going to do things in your best interest....no one who attends a church for 20 years that teaches hatred for American and Racism is not a good person and should never be the President of America..

Economy in the US is barely influenced by the American governments. So people elect on what they think politics can do for them. They elect on weapon regulations and religion issues. This is why in comparison to Europe less people go for vote. Very bad for the ones not being millionairs..... Hope and maybe Obama can change this !

Boy, seems Mr. Obama doesn't like the taste of his OWN words in his OWN mouth
He needs to give Pennsylvania and Ohio citizens an apology. Last night, He still didn't own up to what he said in front of a CA audience about "working folk"..... He still loves to blame EVERYONE around him for his own actions........

He only is telling the truth!!!

The only person who's bitter is Hillary. This election was supposed to be a cake walk–and Barack made her actually campaign, boo hoo. She lost this election and she refuses to walk away with dignity.

I think she should go to the end, but in the end, she should go home.

Obama 08

I did not see a "visibly agitataed" Obama. I did not see him "lash out". I saw him address a trumped up non-story with humor and candor. Could you maybe hire a journalist or two?

Hillary drop out!!!! Your a disgrace to America

Obama 08'

Wow, this response was offensive. I am only two years older than this candidate and yet somehow we are from different generations. I would never use such sarcasm to belittle someone with whom I disagreed. America may well decide this is their candidate, I want someone who is more statesmanlike.

Easy big boy, Small town America does understabd what you meant even though you might not have said it in the right way, Those people who at first my have been offened will soon realize that you are exactly right in the basic meaning of you comments.

And to all Americans: OBAMA did not say he mispoke or try to laugh it off he stood up and apologized for the miss understanding, did not try to change the subject or hide from his comments. This is the kind of leader we need Honest striaght forward and one who shows real courage underfire.

OBAMA 08

I am very disappointed in CNN's obsessive and divisive coverage of Obama's "bitter" comments. We all need to understand that election campaigns and candidates are examined these days at an unprecedented level of detail and scrutiny. Everyone is human, and everyone will, with good intentions, occasionally choose their words in an inappropriate manner. There is no reason to think otherwise about the "Obama incident". If one were to count the "misspeaks" by these candidates, Clinton and McCain would be far ahead of Obama. Unless this becomes a repeated and consistent pattern, we should all consider it a nothing more than a bad choice of words.

Last night there was an extremely interesting, informative, and personal look at the candidates in the Faith Forum. They revealed aspects of themselves and even policy proposals that were new and deserved analysis. However, after the event, "the best political team on television" continued to beat to death the "bitter" issue, endlessly replaying the same sound clips that everyone has heard dozens of times, and almost totally ignoring the substantive and enlightening faith questions that the candidates had just spent 2 hours discussing.

Shame on you, CNN.

For shame on Obama. His arrogance and bein a snob has finally caught up to him. To blame Hillary for his true feelings about people are getting old and lame.

funny, he insults Americans, and he says shame on Clinton. He is a master politician, just not so good at the hope and change thing! This man is a phony and a disgrace!

I have faith in the American people. They will see through Hillary's superficial non-arguments, and vote for Barack. He is the best candidate, and would be campaigning against the appropriate person now, John McCain, had it not been for Hillary's ego.

Obama 08

YOU GO Obama! Let her have it! It's about time. You have been wayyyyyyyy too nice during this campaign while she takes every opportunity to trash your name.

If you need more ammunition I got a whole lot of stuff I can send you that is verified and TRUE.

Iam bitter with the Federal Government. Have your reporters go into local Taverns and ask the bitter question. You all may find out that Obama is correct.

"She's talking like she's Annie Oakley! Hillary Clinton's out there like she's on the duck blind every Sunday, [like] she's packin' a six shooter! C'mon! She knows better."

Wow this reminds me of "capping" back in high school.
Grow up Barack Obama.

Typical CNN. Obama causes problems and they put it on Clinton with a headline "Obama says shame on you to Clinton" giving Obama the high road. Why not run the headline "Shame on you Obama". LOL that will be the day. You are worse than Fox news.

Agree! Hillary is in the finally stage of her campaign and looking for anything to use for her advantage instead of running a good campaign. Obama! Your the better man for this job.

I love how they say things like, "I would expect this from McCain", even though McCain has been quiet this whole time. Don't drag McCain into your little war of words. I disagree with McCain on some issues, but he is at least an honorable human being. All the Dems know how to do is bash – it's no wonder they almost always lose presidential elections.

Also CNN, this is not a very flattering picture of Barack, but then again you are the Clinton News Network.

O/08

Why would we want either one of the clowns in office?

Bunch of socialist, freedom grabbing dimwits.

Shame on her, shame on him. They're both acting like a couple of kids fighting over the last lollipop.

Correct me if i'm wrong but Hillary seems to be supporting a 'gun culture' with her comments..

Just what the country needs .. more guns

Yes, "Shame on you Hillary", areyou a democrat or a republican?

She's still irrelevant, and I would like to know the last time Annie Oakley went to church or shot a gun.

Sen. Obama is correct. Sen. Clinton is just taking Sen. Obama's words out of context.
To call Sen. Obama and elitist that is an outrage. For someone who made 109 million dollars in less than 10, to call someone who grew up in a single parent home, compared to someone who's family had a cottage on the lake. To label someone as an elitist makes no sense to me. SEN. OBAMA WAS A COMMIUNITY ORGANIZER IN CHICAGO MAKING LESS THAN 10,000 DOLLARS A YEAR. WHILE SEN. CLINTON WAS A CORPARTE LAWYER ON THE BOARD WORKING FOR WAL-MART. So who would you say is the elitist, and who would you consider more to have a BLUE COLLAR UPBRINGING. I think this is a no brainer, the American people know the truth. SOMETHING SEN. CLINTON NEEDS TO DO MORE OFFEN.

YES WE CAN
OBAMA/CASEY '08

Well let's look at that twist again. She started saying he was an elistist and out of touch. Then she said his comments were elitist. Now , he is a good man but his comments could be seen and intepreted as elitist, thanks to her help, and that's what really important. She says it herself, there is nothing wrong about what he said but you see, "if you allow me to show them to you from the wrong angle, see how bad it could be for the democrats.".

For months now Obama has been gracious and has avoided attacking her. But enough is enough and he was right to pin down the multiple contradictions about her. HRC will go down in history like the dirtiest dem candidate ever.

Why would he "expect this of John Mccain? McCain has pledged to run a respectful campaign. Obama needs to get a grip.

Clinton wasn't he only one who called his comment "elitist". The
Sunday talk shows were full of similar comments.

Hillary has all the right in the world to question Obama. When Obama spewed his condescending remarks to all those millionaires in San Francisco he directly accused the Clinton administration for "small town folks" clinging to religion and guns. If he accuses the Clinton years as the reason for their bitterness then why shouldn’t Hillary strike back? WHY? She kept quiet when the Wright controversy erupted. She made only comment. "Wright would not be my pastor." That was it. But this "bitter/clinging" issue is pure politics, it’s about policy, honesty. Its goes straight to the reason why democrats have lost the last two elections. It is fair to argue Obama’s condescension to the small town folk because it goes directly to issues like religion, xenophobia, gun ownership and culture.

Backtrack backtrack...

Did everyone see the clip where he was so pompously ridiculing her?
If you guys vote for him....you deserve him.

And Obama's absolutely correct (as usual). Mrs. Clinton's scorched earlth policy is doing nothing more than insuring that the Democrats will lose in November AND (with all of the animosity that she is generating within the party) that she won't get elected again for ANYTHING.

I have long said here that Sen. Obama is George McGovern II. He just is too much out of touch with the regular person.
I only hope that Pennsylvannia will send the right signal for the nation.

You screwed up Obama! Just admit it and go quietly back to Chicago

I think hillary got what she deserved. I have been thinking that she is indeed shameless and a fake,putting on artificial face and just trying to be sweet and kindhearted. but she looks unreal and all mushy and no substance. Obama on the other hand, although not perfect,looks much more talented,charismatic and honest. all rightminded people shold vote for obama and give him a landslide victory.

What a baby...

So, if she would have made the comments, he would have simply let it go right???

Amazing!

Is this guy serious?
Do we really want a 47 year old baby Governing our Nation???
Amazing...

Wow! Now just picture Hillary Clinton being so inflamatory on Obama... It would raise eyebrows and trigger lots of nasty comments, wouldn't it??

This guy was brought up by single mom He went to school borrowing, he probably still owe some student loan or paid it off thanks to His great books. She will almost do anything to be President " I used to shoot a duck"

he is right clinton is very out of touch with the needs of this country. this is just another old political gimmic to get the focus off of the real hope for this country. if she were a real leader at all she will take the polls back with good domestic policy and real solutions. not by pointing the finger at every petty issue and blowing in way out of context and proportion.

OBOMA '08

THE RADICAL

She doesn't have a good chance of winning so why does she try to tear down Obama? I understand her trying to win the nomination but is it worth it by tearing down someone on her own team? Please Hillary supporters look at the bigger the picture, Whoever wins the nomination all us should support. All this nit picking is getting old. Look at how the campaigns have been ran and that should show who would be the best prez.

Dems in 08

shame on barack obama for having double talk. obama is arrogant.
GO HRC 08

Obama disrespects america, his wife disrespect s america and his reverend disrespects america.
Is this the man you want talking to Iran on behalf of the United States of America.
I think the american people need to think really hard about this, because he will side with Iran.

What is this guy thinking about? Whom he thinks he is? First, he is demeaning Americans, then somehow expected us, as demoncrats, to cover his back. I have never clung to my religion because of "bitterness." Don't take your own "experience" to say it for all.

Oh please. Everyone grow up. When are we going to wise up to this two party nonsense? They are playing us all for fools.

Go Obama!

Clinton should be ashamed of herself. Bill and Hillary made over 100 million dollars since leaving office and she has the nerve to call Obama and Elitist??? Not to mention John McCain, this man came into wealth by marrying an heir to a beer corporation, and he is calling Obama an Elitist???

Wow, didn't really notice, but both criticisms are very similar. Wonder if Hillary, and McCain have the same speech writter?

shame on you Clinton. Shame on you

It's clear from the context of Obama's comments that he meant that Pennsylvanians are bitter about how the government has let them down. They're frustrated about a particular topic. He's not saying that all Pennsylvanians are a bunch of bitter and angry people in every context. What straw men!

M. Obama, you should be ashamed yourself for what you have done to the Democratic party on behalf of Republicans (you call them Obamacan!!!).

If you have any decency left in you get out of the race and save your face.

"Anne Oakley"? Hmmmm. That comparison by Barack Obama might actually help Hillary more than hurt her.

Halleluia! It's about time Barrack got a little upset over Clinton's shameless tactics! Enough already!

Obama 08

Of course You Lash out Obama what else can you do under the FIRE!!
YOu just lost my VOTE

and if you cant handle a white democrate Woman what makes you think you can handle a White republican man.....I like you but you cant WIn sorry dude
....

Wow Obama's hypocracy has officially entered the stratosphere. Simultaneously criticizing his opposition for tactics he himself has been guilty of on many occasions, AND misconstruing Hillary' legitimate criticisms as Republican talking points. Shame on you Barack!

Why is everyone so afraid of the republicans? Last time I check they put there clothes on just like everyone else. We need to stop empowering them by our conversation of what they are going to do with such and such information.

What a joke. Hillary is one of the biggest supporters of banning guns that there is. I suggest you all look up her views when she was attempting to go to New York on May 9, 2000. her views weren't so pro gun at that time at all.

Say anything to get elected or attack someone who is winning at your expense Hillary. same old Clinton's.

Both Clinton and Obama are acting like School children. They are going to give away this Election. Then when McCain gets in we will have another 4yrs of Mr.Bush. The American People can't and won't handle that!

Yes Obama is OK. He will be a good president. Clinton using the name of Her husband every time when she need to claims good work and she regret it every time when is mistake. How this happend we know. If is good she is involve if is not good she is out. Oh Clinton where is the exspirience you are talking about? Mrs Clinton is a lier and she prove that every time when she open a conversation agains Obama. It is time to stop listening to Her. I see less people to her speeches every time. Obama – more a more people come to listening to Him because He do atracting more people – everybody like Him.

Obama 08

Come on buddy, just gather a few of your people, your ever trusting media and deliver another of your speeches, it should all be forgotten in a few days. Your followers dont really care about substance, they just need your speeches.

Obama is a FARCE who's duped the country. He's FAKE, and he's an Actor; everything he says is rehearsed and memorized. OOOPS! Looks like he didn't have time to rehearse, and someone else wrote the speech. Obama is Not an extemporaneous speaker. He's a rehearsed and 'method acting' speaker. Shame on Obama, Not Clinton!

Shame on her?? For what you said????

That is famous!

Its going to get ugly. Hillary Clinton should know better. She has a lot of areas of weakness that she could be attacked from and she is always the first to attack others. Many times her attacks sound like that of the republicans.
Its about time Obama takes the fight to Billary's doorstep
YES WE CAN

No comment.

Obama 08

Wow, could you guys paint a more inaccurate picture of what happened? Obama was laughing it up in the video, but you make it sound like he was stomping around the room in a blind rage.

Talking about reverse psychology, Shame on you Barack!!!!!!

Hey dude, Dont get agitated. Its okay if you did not choose the right words....
Hillary is all set to get into White House
HILLARY '08 & '12

No, I don't think I will comment, because there is nothing else to be said. Obama still has my vote, after Hillary has thrown countless kitchen sinks at him. It is admirable that he is a man of fortitude.

"Shame on her"?
Obama is the one who used the inappropiate words, and Obama is the one connected to a "spiritual" guide who happens to have extreme opinions on America and Israel.
Why is he blaming her?
I think day by day Obama is uncovering his real personality: egocentric, with a real case of grandiosity.

Barack Obama speaks the truth...Hillary lies and distorts to win.

How in the world can people consider Obama to be an elitist? He just finished paying off his student loans for Christ's sake and its not like he's got over $100 million in the bank unlike the Clinton's and the McCain's. He has to explain some many issues to so many different people, its only a matter of time before someone says something imperfect. Just let this man do what he was born to do please so he can start to fix this country after what Bush/Cheney did to it....PLEASE!

well, everytime he is faced with a controversy, he ends up with the upperhand in the end. now hillary is reminding us all that the democrats have lost the last two elections and that apparently nobody in America likes democrats. does she legitimately expect to win this race? she has the the right to stay in the race and what not, but she is doing so much damage to the party. the only bitter person in this whole situation is hillary herself.

shame on you barack hussain obama! you're fake.

I think the DNC needs to seriously reconsider hillary clintons membership with the party, and maybe, just maybe she should think about signing up to be a commentator on fox news because all she tells is lies lies and more lies.

I like angry Obama. He finally takes on her ridiculous attacks and shows everyone how stupid this whole "bitter" thing really is. It's the usual Clinton/Rove politics.

Wow, are the intern editors/writers on staff during the weekend? These ticker stories today have the most grammatical errors I've ever seen. Losing credibility CNN...

Anyway, Obama '08

Mr. John King is so obvious in who he wants to see win the primary in the race against Clinton and Obanma. Mr. King is always reporting on the negative of Obama and he's trying to keep this "Bitter Controversy" against Obama going and I have not seen you keeping the Bosnia Story going or Hillary being for NAFTA. It's so obvious he is for Hillary. Try to be more bias when you are on the air and more professional.

Do not take what Barack said about biterness out of context. He did not mean that people was bitter because they were angry at any body. People are really fed up and it is real when they see their jobs been shipping to Mexico, China ,or India when they cannot find another job that pay the same and they are falling deeper and deeper in debt. All these jobs loses in America is due to NAFTA and NAFTA is the trade deal that Bill and Hillary were behind when they were in office.
We cannot trust Hillary when she goes behind Americans back and start negotiating trade with Comlumbia a country where previous gorvernment Democrat and republicans had avoided to deal with for various reasons. I want to ask Hillary what is her next trade move? May be Iran, Cuba, Lybia, Sudan, or communist Korea. We need transparency in our gorverment and we say no to candidate that is negotiating trade behind doors and when things get heated and say they were opposed it. We do not believe you. United we stand and we stand for Barack Obama. United States of America for Obama.

Looks like Sen Obama is getting ticked off by Sen Clinton. This is the kind of attitude he needs to show in order to win a state like Pen.
Frankly, it sounds to me that most dems in pen actually agree with Obama on this, and the reps don't.

The operative word here is "cling to" which Obama has redefined as "holding on to" or "rely on". It is exactly the same meaning, but it can be also be interpreted as "latching on to" as Hilary has done since it projects a different image.

I think he needs to keep getting mad about this and it might give him the knockout punch he is looking for.

That was funny. Six shooter and all. LOL

She asked for a fight, then you sir give her a fight. None has respected her more than you during this race, however she kept throwing jabs at you without a real motive. You have waited too long to get her on decency track. History will reward you for that.

No Obama. SHAME ON YOU. I always felt you were arrogant, you have confirmed it.

How come Obama is blaming Hillary for comments HE made?

Hillary is simply stating what most of us are thinking – he's arrogant, snobby and out of touch.

Shame on YOU, Barack Obama – those of us living in small towns across America are not bitter and we aren't clinging – so stop trying to turn this around against Hillary.

its amazing when sen obama does something wrong how he tries to shift the blame.......just own up to it and stop making excuses.....

He's starting to grow on me...

Hillary is the bitter one because somehow she feels she deserves the nomination and you can see in her own arrogant demeanor that shes the nominee! Thats atypical of a Washington elitist whos been around DC the past 25 years or so! OBAMA 08!!!

Clinton is out of touch. She does not have the delegates, the states, nor the common vote. Cmon alreadly.

Annie Oakley used a 22 caliber rifle, not a six shooter.

Money-grubbing liars and hate-mongers like Billary have no business lecturing other people about religion,

Obama, I may say that you are a good and friendly guy, and good learner, but to be United state president, i would say that you are not good enough. I don't want to put my life to the guy who knows nothing. We have been suffered for almost 8 years now. I don't want to suffer for another 4 years for you to learn, and i believe other americans want to same thing. We want a person who already has a solution and bring us out.

Good for him! It's about time he fired back hard. She's grasping at straws! Drinking whiskey and courting gun owners...did she switch parties and not tell anyone?

Even after editing the report, you still miss one glaring spelling mistake in the first sentence, and the obvious grammatical error in the second.

Shame on CNN.com for having such low standards on printed news.

Good Stuff.

Are you kidding me?

What a sexist remark for this man to make about a woman.

Who does he think SHE is....the female that is supposed to respond to him as though he is her superior???

What a condescending way to speak to ANYONE.

Obama is a sexist bigot.

if Hillary said that, many would say she is so negative. Now, It is Obama. so How is he?

Obama is so intellectually past McCain and Clinton that he just leaves them in the dust...I'm happy he told it like it is, and if enough people will just listen to his words I absolutely believe he will do amazingly wonderful things for our Nation. He has the speaking ability of a true politician, but what he says is so different from the same baloney we have listenned to for so long. BRAVO! Barack Obama.

The Clinton machine is losing respect of and votes from all of America.... they can't pay their bills, monetary or moral.

Wow, he is losing his temper.

Hillary'08!!

she needed to be treated in the same way she has done previousely, It was a fare shot.

Get her Obama... Hillary is truly a dirty rat in a blond wig!

Sounds like obama is the "Bitter" one.. and newflash for obama, we are not bitter and we choose our religon because we love god and our community, not because we are bitter and another thing, many americans are sick and tired of you trying to spin something when you get caught up... just more reasons to vote for Hillary.. Done with obama

Oh yea I forgot Hillary Clinton was a democrat...I really don't know why anyone is making a big deal out of that comment the man was exactly right. Its just another vain attempt by clinton to win the nomination which is no almoist completely futile. However she can succeed in destroying the party and ruining any chances of the Dems winning in 08 with her bloodthirsty attacks. Hillary Clinton-the Republicans best friend.

lol

Yeah, Obama has shown the type of leadership we need.

I believe it is possible to LOVE your country but be critical or even "bitter" atbout your government. I think there has to be a distinction here. It often depends on which politicians are in control of the White House at the time. There is so much to be bitter about right now and more each day! Bush cannot leave office soon enough for me!

The Clintons are Dirty Dirty Dirty. Go for it Barack

Literally the most childish comeback ever . . . you phrased it wrong BO – own up to it – end of story.

I'm from Pa. and the only thing I would be bitter over is if Obama was elected. If he dose not realize the power of his so called mischosen words, how can he be a good president and world leader????
This guy wil say or do anything to get elected. He was speaking to a wealthy group at a fund raise showing his eletist colors and got caught speaking his true feelings. You lost my vote.

HILLARY 08

All Obama can ever do is repeat what he hears from other people or speeches! Wow, what a leader! NOT! I mean does he even have ANY original thought?

It's about time Barack!!
Go get 'em!!

Hilary makes me so frustrated
She has some nerve

Darn right! Shame on Hillary.

I am glad Obama used the same words Hillary used to comment on the Clinton campaign "pouncing" on this to widen her lead in Pa. He wasn't agitaged, he was forceful, direct and confidently powwerful!!!!! His background and upbringing is much more connected to the people he was referring to than the 109 million dollar Clintons. Oh by the way, no tax filing for 2007? I guess they really must have broke the bank!!!! How's that for relating to Middle America's issues.

Isn't this what everyone said would happen. To think that John McCain stands a chance is a testament to the Democratic machine's incompetence.

They had Mitt, Huckabee, and "I want to invade Iran as well McCain" and they look more together than the Dems.

Figure this out and let the country vote on two very different platforms and records!

Glad to see Sen. Obama fire back. It isn't just the midwest folks who are bitter...I've lived in Maine 59 years, and we feel exactly the same!

well this year we will have another republican in the white house..Obama is going to get hit heavier and clinton cant catch a break...At this point, as a democract, i have to let the party people realize that being extremely left will not be elected...many people dont like Hillary or her centrist attitudes. But honestly i rather have someone who can listen and be flexible to what people want rather than their own agenda

yes, this is cheap politics. people are ready to do anything (like lying, change character) in order to obtain power.

So, I'm just guessing here, but Obama really doesn't want any "gun owners" or Annie Oakly types voting for him.

I'm thinking he'll probably get his wish.

I'm waiting for Senator Clinton to appear in a Wonder Woman costume, if she can't find one like Annie Oakley's. As the campaign has progressed, she has drifted farther and farther from reality. Scary!

Shame on Barack, take the punches, she has been getting it from all the media and the "good old boys of the political stablishment", now you know how it feels, shame on you,,,own up to your mistakes and stop covering who you really are......

There he is with that patronizing finger caught on tape, trying to spin his way out of his obvious indiscretion. I simply do not trust this man. I take Hillary witth all her imperfections, any time, any day. I know that she will roll up her sleeves from day one and work hard for us, clearly she does not need the Presidency to make millions. This guy, uhmmmm, with all that indoctrination for "20 Years", he will be WRIGHT from day one.

Mr. Obama, you are doing a fine job of word-play and that's about the strongest attribute you have. Great inspiring speeches and crafty word-play, but that's about it. Experience and track record will prevail and get real results. Hillary has some faults, but there's more substance, stamina, and experience.
Hillary for President 08!!!!!!!!!!

Obama is a hypocrite and full of himself.

well off course.

When you mess up, shame on the other who saw you do it.

Just stop pretending you know what's inside us, because you don't.

"I am sure I can get Hillary Clinton voters. However it is not clear she can get mine..."

yup, keep counting on that buddy

It's all academic. For better or worse, Obama is going to win the nomination.
It's also academic how other countries would vote, because they CAN'T. It's reserverd for citizens of the U S of A.
We know the rest of the world want Obama to win.. but .. sucked in.. it's up to us.. NOT you!

Where is Mrs. Obama? She does not want to show her true colors.

Small town folks in Pennsylvania and every small town in America
are not "bitter" and turning to Guns and Religion as Obama said in San Francisco. They own guns just as most American households.
They are also Christians and go to Church reguularly as as is their Faith. They Americans are proud of their heritage and of their work ethic.. NObama should know better.

Hillary is a big disappointment to the democratic party. To think I once admired her and Bill. It saddens me to see just how much she's a part of "those politicians" who will pick apart every word of their opponent no matter how far out of context it may seem. I'm quite shocked that she still has as many supporters as she does. All I can say is, What are the thinking? If she succeeds and steals the presidency like someone else we know, but this time with sleazy distorted tactics, americans will not be told the truth for another 4 years...........but I think we're all smarter than that. Go Obama!!

Everything Hillary Clinton says is a lie. You can not believe anything thing that comes out of of her mouth. Super delegates, and voters in Pennslyvania, please end this drama and put us out of our misery. Vote for Barack please.!!!

It's about time! Now if he would call her on Bosnia, Ireland, Macedonia, Mark Penn, Naftagate and all the rest, maybe we could get this thing over with.

Finally Hillary has been called out on her dirty game of politics. Obama responded honestly and forcefully! The truth hurts and Hillary is not accustomed to much of any truth.

Chris Welch you are a liar and you are exaggerating what happened. You are a despicable journalist.

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

Bout time he said it. Who's side is she on anyway? Oh wait, she is on Hillary's side! She would rather see McCain win so she has another shot the next four years! All she cares about is that she becomes president, not what is actually good for the party.

Good for you Barack, standing up to Hillary's slanderous comments!

Hillary is showing just how silly she can act in her bid for power.The American people should see through all this, before they decide on a responsible vote.Hillary's experience as Governer is no experience towards the Presidency, as she has not been acknowledged as a sucess so far , and her role as Governer in no way gives her experience in dealing with issues connected with being a president.

I say AMEN to Sen Obama's words. It was about time he said something. Hillary and Bill couldn't be left alone to continue spreading their lies out of desperation. Go Barack! Tell them like it is. Tell the people of Pennsylvania the truth about the Clintons.They shall know the truth and, hopefully, the truth shall set Hillary free!

I really don't understand how people are not hearing what he is saying. How he has explained again and again that the bitterness comes from a lack of faith in government and that people are able to be co-opted by wedge issues because "all politicians lie anyway" and that government will always promise and not deliver on things that can directly impact their lives. I honestly don't understand how people think of Clinton as their champion and Obama as eletist.

When will Clinton learn?Too many foolish remarks on her part.Can't trust her at all.

Are you kidding? "Lashes out?" Maybe CNN should stop trying to manufacture controversy and watch that video again. Try "jokes lightheartedly," that might ACTUALLY capture some of the feeling of what Senator Obama was saying.

Clinton is really too much! I think she is the one who will get burnt over the "bitter" issues. She has twisted his words and doesn't seem to understand that many people are bitter and angry at their government ... because of political folk like her!

Oh please......when did Hillary become Annie Oakley? Bet this is another "bosnia fib." She'll lie, cheat and pander to win this thing......will be so glad when she and Bill have to head home as losers. Obama is an "unknown quanity," BUT Hillary is a "known quantity" and we KNOW we don't like her.

I think 'lashed' is sort of inaccurate wording. He seemed very composed to me. Why do you use those kinds of words when it is not appropriate?

Suprise surprise, my comment is "awaiting modification. CNN will never post a blog that might expose Senator Obama for what he is and what he has done. Could there be a more sleezy or misogynic media?

Glad to hear Obama's tone change. Hillary needs truth serum. She's in the kitchen grasping for straws and pots. She was my girl, was getting my vote, but I wised up and switched to.....

Obama '08

Did you mean she finally pissed him off! No! How dare she!

cnn and the rest of the news media need to move on and realize only they care about this non important "bitter" comment.You should be ashamed to call yourself news. sounds like your trying to make the news by focusing on this over and over and over and over again ...just like rev. wright..that didnt work either .obama is a genuine candidate who hasnt made nearly as many misstatements as hillary clinton.

The one that is out of touch is clinton. I have lost a job, and even though I found another, I am bitter and angry at the govt. and corporate america.Obama is saying it like it is and not sugar coating.

So hypocritical of him... Shame on him!

Good for you Obama!

I can't believe that I actually supported this woman. Thank goodness she's losing. I will do everything I can to help Obama.

Annie Oakley is cool. Go Hillary!

Sounds a lot like...

"Shame on you, Barack Obama"

Senator's Clinton and McCain are transparent and disingenuous in the offense they take over Senator Obama's comment about small town and rural America.

Give me a break CNN and stop covering this bickering as news! You are shameless too in trying to keep up your ratings.

Sen. Obama is right!

Not only is Sen. Clinton out of touch, but, she is a down right liar, too. She will do anything to get a vote.

Sen. Obama is a man of true genuine character. He is truly a rarity in politics.

You tell them Barack, McClinton is more of the same old lies and pandering to the American people. We don't need to be told what they think we want to hear, we need the truth and good judgement in leadership!

Shame on her. I have never seen any person compromise all qualities of humanity in pursuit of something. It's not as though they have not had their time on America's presidency. Their Lewiski scars on America's presidency is yet to heal. Shame on you, Clintons.

i can't stand this guy

I love this! Bravo Obama

Cry my a river Obama – keep your mouth shut since your words are causing you such turmoil. Oh wait, if you lose your words, you have nothing else substantive for your campaign. Thanks for sinking the democratic party.

He hardly lashed out for goodness sake. He was sarcastic. I haven't read every single comment you gotten here on this non-controversy but my sampling has it about 90-1 in favor of Obama. The guy is obviously the genuine article and you guys know it (or would if you read your own blogs).

About time he showed some spine against Hillary by pointing out the MANY flaws she has in her campaign and addressing her honesty.

Obama should claim the perfect excuse:
It was late, he was tired and under sniper fire.

Wow,
It is hard to swallow the fact that Clinton will do and say anything to get elected. I don't know if the term 'Christianity' is losing its meaning but what I hear from her these days is unchristian like. She is one lier who even after getting caught doesn't acknowledge.
America, We are smarter than what some people make us to be.

Its about time, Obama called hillLIAR out. She is the biggest crook in washington. She is corrupt!!

Obama is right on the money! Hillary is grasping at straws to malign the only person who has the character and leadership ability to turn this country around. She's like the second coming of Karl Rove.

Why is Obama lashing out at Hillary? He is the one who made the insensitive and poorly worded comment. He admits he worded it wrong. She has every right to call him out on it. If the tables were turned, he would be all over it. Obama lashing out at her, over his mis-step, just makes it worse, for him.

"I expected this out of John McCain,"

This must be more of that "unifying" language I keep hearing about...

I so agree...Shame on you hillary..being a democrat- you are acting like a republican...Shame on you..

and this is coming out of my heart, my hurt heart- who once campaigned for you..who once voted for you..and who once prayed that you would be the next President

Now THAT, my friends, is the man I want to be my president.

Finally, someone we can believe in.

First Obama insults small-town people, and now he calls a female presidential candidate "Annie Oakley"? Has this guy gone off the deep end?

Willy from Canada:

Wow!!!! This reminds me of the "Dean Scream" incident, in my unbiased opinion.

WHAT? I GUESS CNN watch something very different from their viewers...

Are they that lacking of News that you have pretend the rest of America didn't know what Senator Obama is talking about...

It's makes you wonder who is really out of touch with America.

And as far as Senator Clintos goes she looked like she had a hang over.

get her barack

get her

She should know better! But we have being saying for over a year, she DOES NOT! Yet she still thinks she will be president!

Proof read much?

Why are we spending an evening about religion and the election. There is separation of church and state in this country. Lets stick with the issues that the average person cars about–the war and the economy

Obama is a joke. His pastor, his spiritual leader, is still spouting anti-american hate. Time to put down the kool aid america and see this guy for what he is.

He was laughing and making jokes.. it was funny. Maybe you should post the video and let us decide if he was "visibly agitated"

Rip her apart Obama.

I think he just went hormonal? Wasn't that what the Obama-bots called Hillary?

Obama, I think you are out of touch. I am voting for Hilliary.

How out of touch is Obama? Who hunts on Sunday? With a revolver for duck hunting, nonetheless?

It is about time he got mad at Hillary. Obama wants to stick to issues and she keeps throwing in the hatchet.

i'm with Obama people are butter thats what haooens when you don't make 109 million! I'm with you Obama

Good Shot Obama ! This was very much needed. It greatly helps to show people that Hillary is just doing this to distract people and to make them forget her issues.

I hope people see the truth in what you said and move on to the key issues of Economy, Healthcare and War.

When Hillary attacks him, he has every right to defend himself! Notice the choice of words that he used to describe Hillary "Democratic colleague" while she calls him her "opponent"

As a woman, I feel disrespected by Hillary's tactics and her using the gender card to try to sway voters

A complete let-down is what she is

What Obama said was out of touch and he should be called out on it.
I just can not believe a presidential candidate would say something like that. Let's get real. It was rude, insensative and ignorant.. Obama, what were you thinking? I guess you were not thinking. Hummm

A response from him like this one was long overdue.
Proud of Barack Obama, he needed to step up to her attacks.

Hillary Clinton just got royally OWNED!!!

obama 2008

Thank you CNN for manufacturing this scandal. I hope that it lights a fire under his arse and convinces him to finally goes after her for the liar that she really is.

Clinton need SNL again to protect her because the news people at CNN are trying to explain and help Obama for his remarks Give me a break CNN. Shame on you>

Obama talks from both sides of his mouth, he has the ability to adjust his talk depends on the crowd he is surrounded by, what a fake, in time, America will see him for what he really is.

finally..show some strength

Isnt this race over yet?

Hillary is the Queen of lies. If she's elected, and that husband of
her's is back in the White House, they will convert it to a money making front for their own personal gains.

Same Old Dirty Politics OBAMA ... I thought you were better...

I WAS WRONG !!!

Just ANOTHER POLITICIAN

Thank you Senator Obama for standing up for yourself against the Clinton attacks!

Maria from New York

Way to go shame on her.

LMAO,
Obama even copies the prhase "shame on you"

Don't play angel...we all know what shady stuff you got inside

...SHAME on you OBAMA for trying to demean Hillary to make yourself look better!!!. I'm sick of it.

WAKE UP AMERICA!!!

HILLARY 08

Obama 08! way to go.

Nice to see him hit back hard. Hillary Clinton isn't fooling anyone.

Trying to paint a man of faith who grew up poor in a single family household, when you are sitting on $100 million dollars isn't going to fly.

Shame on her is right.

Hillary deserve it. With 1.9 million tax return. Well wait a minutes why would Obama slam small towns when He need they Vote?

Right on Barack..........just keep it real and you've got nothing to worry about..

Your father left you, your mother died at an early age, you went to school on loans....she made over 100 million dollars in the last few years...she is a liar....her husband can't keep it in his pants.....she will do every and anything to win....the Lord will be done...God bless you Senator Obama.

Now we're even with "shame on you" responses.

CNN is getting better at spinning ... just like Fox News.

The word "bitter" has so much less of a significance to me than the acroymn "NAFTA." May as well cozy on up to it Senator Clinton. It was your husbands's "baby" with your consent!!!

good job everyone, they both did a great job. Obama was more fluid in his remarks and more specift but Hillary also did a great job in looking bright and durable

And the Republicans continue to ask: "Is God smiling on us, or what?"
They're laughing their pachyderm tails off watching this debacle unfold.

YAwn

It is good to see him call her on this. He's been a gentleman. But he's let her get away with these comments far too long.

I like this guy more and more !!

OBAMA'08

Thank you Obama.

You were smooth as silk.

Obama '08

Obama give it up, you obviously don't connect with the majority of Democrats. I think its time for you to bow out of the race and stop dragging the party down.

Obama response to Hilary was great! Hillary is having a hard time understand the comment of "frustated and bitter now that she has her $109 millions!

OBAMA 08!!!!!!

you say it you own it obama - too bad for you! couple more years in the senate and you'll be a bit more prudent.

WE NEED YOU BARACK

He is starting to lose it!

OBAMA DONT TALK ABOUT PA WE ARE GOOD PEOPLE YOU JUST LOST MY VOTE

This is amazing, Barack put the nail on Hillary's coffin, i was fed up with all the misinformation from Hillary and McCain, and now this re-afirmed my support for Sen. Barack Obama!

So glad to see Barack get some backbone and send a clear and stern message to Hillary.

Obama '08 '12

"Who do you think is out of touch?"..."'what's her name' is!"
- Just plain tacky.

The idea of a gun toting, Crown Royal drinking Hillary makes me want to vote for her even more.

I love how Hillary jumped on this SO FAST and couldn't wait to tell another "I remember the time..." story about guns. Then when asked a pointed question about her gun use, she says that's irrelevant. Hey, you brought it up! There is nothing, NOTHING she won't capitalize on for her own advantage. A Democrat touting this "Guns, Guts and God" stuff is absurd. But of course, not nearly as absurd as Hillary claiming someone else is "elitist" while she's the salt of the earth. Is there anybody left who can't see right through this woman and her baloney?

Obama 2009!!!

Clinton, please go away!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It is about time that Obama got more aggressive with the vile deceptive Clinton, a woman who is described by her close acquaintences as shameless and not trustworthy.

Telling it like it is

Finally Obama! Please expose Hillary Clinton for what she isn't, a true Democratic Party member.

Clinton tactics during her campaign have been sickening, and I cannot wait to have my say on April 22.

She is a monster! And by the way, people in PA are bitter, like me.

55yo / white male – just in case you’re wondering

Hope she will finally get it, that Obama's silence does not mean weakness

That a way Obama. Take off the gloves. You have held back for too long .Expose this crooked Fraud for all she isnt!!!!

Obama is out of touch and falling

this woman is really making it hard for me to vote for her come nov if she gets the nomination, yes i dont like mccain policies but he is a decent human being and a great american. it seems like i am gonna have to vote for mccain if obama dont get the nomination.

Obama is an idiot. He sounds like a loser to me!

So he can play politics and she cant .. hmmm Gotta love the obama supporters.

and whats even funnier.. THEY PLAY POLITICS BECAUSE ITS THEIR JOB

When is Hillary going to annouce?.Is this the best the Dem as?

Neither one is acceptable but I can't vote for McSame

Go Barack
———————————————————————————————-

ANYONE WHO SAYS OBAMA LOST THEIR VOTE AND WILL NOW VOTE FOR HILLARY NEED TO CHECK IN A MENTAL INSTITUTION.

I WOULD VOTE FOR MCSAME ANYDAY OVER HILLARY.

HILLARY IS A FRAUD AND A CROOK.

OBAMA 08
———————————————————————————————-

Heavenly Choir: Obama, Obama, OBAMA
HRC: Shut up!

———————————————————————————————-

HRC: I'm not quitting! I am in this for the long haul because the people deserve a choice – they deserve a president who's ready on DAY 1.
OBAMA: Give it a rest Hillary then continue Swearing Ceremonies

LOL

Obama 08

Go Barack

Thought it was bizarre how he accused her of twisting his words around! I thought he did that well enough on his own

we know that hillary has two side , i never do anything wrong and the i misspoke. people wake up and see the clinton. because you dont know what clinton she is. vote obama

Hmmmm, petty insults (e.g. Annie Oakley) and jokes (e.g. duck blind) are NOT going to cover the fact that Mr. Obama is an elitist, arrogant, misanthrope. We see him finally for what he truly is: a self-important egotist. I knew if he talked long enough his true colors would eventually shine through. AMEN to that!

WOW... I LOVE Obama's response! Hillary is such a phony! Finally, someone is calling her out! It doesn't get any better that this people!! lol @ Annie Oakley!

OBAMA '08!

omg Obama, calm down please, with these "!" your yelling and saying "shame on her" makes you look like a little kid.

Wow...No way will Obama get my support

His true colors are beginning to show. Watch him closely America.

obama showed some anger
see how he lashs out uncontrolably
i can't beieve his lack of respect he is the one that said what he did, the way he thinks shows thru with his comments

He will be forgiven by Christians as well as others. He is one of us if we check his early years. He had some blessings bestowed but his income is nothing like the Clintons and for her to hark on him being so high and mighy again she is the witch in Snow White. It's her mirror speaking to her in a way she is not pleased to hear: Obama for President.

I don't want to say I told you so, but I told you so.

Clinton 08

You're absolutely correct!!! Shame on her! She is obviously part of the Republican party!. She should switch and stop pretending to be a Democrat! This will definitely come back to "bite" her.

Now its Hillary's turn to face the "shame on you" remarks.
You get what you give....and deserve.
Go attacking...go Obama!!

we are a nation of buddhists
we are a nation of christians
we are a nation of jews
we are a nation of muslims
we are a nation of atheists

WE ARE A NATION OF ONE

Barack Obama stuck this debate...

Yes Obama. You have to let people know you are tough too.
Good Job

Obama 08

I see even More Trouble for Obama after watching CNN Tonight, and Hillary is'nt gonna back down.

After 911, our current president clinged to his faith and our guns, when he had us invade Iraq. Are we still bitter?

Shame on Hillary Clinton!!!! I am voting for Obama!

Obama 2008!

Every time Hillary play dirty campaign, it always back fire on her. Tonight! Faith and Politics showed a Hillary politics answering questions vs Obama the more in tune with the voters.

President Obama

a local pittsburgh television station .just showed the protesters in front of Obama's office in Pittsburgh holding the bitter signs"

If Obama is the democratic nominee,

FOR THE FIRST TIME IN MY ADULT LIFE I WILL BE VOTING A REPUBLICAN FOR PRESIDENT.

Double dipping?

One Clinton is getting a boat load of money 'cashing in' on Columbian trade deal, while the other Clinton is seeking to win votes by claiming that she's against the same Columbian and NAFTA trade deals. Nice. lol

How to become a Clinton millionaire: Take diadvantaged American workers for a ride while cashing in, while double dipping.

spot on Obama. as usual.

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

Did Senator Obama have the opportunity to listen to Senator Clinton before he entered the stage for his questions?

That is so true. This should be coming from McCain and not Clinton. She is trying to drag the democratic party down. That is ridiculous.

SEN.CLINTON IS AT IT AGAIN, WILL THIS EVER STOP I'LL ANSWER
THAT NO !!!!!!!

Looks like Obama is bitter.

I think Hillery is losing and she will say and do anything she can to try to knock OBAMA OUT OF THE RACE.bUT IT ,S NOT GOINIG TO HAPPEN.

Sweet, poetic Mr. Obama is not as sweet and poetic as you think

Hillary...didn't you go to church on Easter as you claim or did you lie again pandering for votes?

No u wrong obama she was knew anything but are shut up ur mouth

Get her Barack!

How she can disparage a man for insightfully capturing a societal truth is beyond comprehension. She's herself is sated in "bitterness" due to her impending defeat.

So much for the politics of hope. A battle between a anti-American liberal elitist and a pathological liar. Democrats must be proud. I think I will be voting for the independent thinking war hero who never engaged in earmarks.

SHAME ON YOU OBAMA!!!!! SHAME ON YOU!!!

this is just nastiness! both of them need to quit this foolishness!! Hillary doesn't need to look more *itchy, and Barack is digging a bigger hole... MOVE ON GUYS!

This is one of the worst written articles I've ever seen. Poor spelling, punctuation, even spacing...journalists these days are poor...

He should change his name Obama to Obaka.

Check out Japanese-English dictionary.
(o)baka means what he is.

hit it right on the nail there mr. future president !

Obama '08!

At this rate, it wouldn't surprise me if Clinton decides to be McCain's running mate. She is playing straight from the GOP playbook.

Democrats UNITE we have the candidate that we have been waiting since JFK! Lets kick the distructive divisive Clintons to the Curb and move forward to fix the problems the administrations of the past have caused us!

Way to go Obama!!! Keep the drum beat Up!!!–Shame on her!!!!

. . . Hit her with the truth Senator Obama.

Yes We Can.

Obama was great tonight. And there are two thing I am going to do.
1.Vote for Obama
2. Stop watching CNN

It is hilarious how suddenly he's expressing warm and fuzzies about the Second Amendment.

She has more faces than I can count...

Okay and this is new politics!!!!!!!!!!!!

about time...let's fight fire with fire. Hillary tried to throw the kitchen sink but dropped in right on her big toe!!! This is great!!!

Obama hit it on the nail. How can Clinton say he's out of touch when she did not even know what her own top strategist was doing??? Clinton's selling point lacks substance and newsflash .... we're NOT buying it!!!!!!!

This is the Obama we need to see deal with Hillary. She wants to launch all these outlandish attacks. Time to take the burner to her whole campaign. She is playing the American public for fools.

Why does he always steal someone's idea or words?

Because he is empty hope.

He finally got tired of her trying to distort what he meant and had to let people know how he felt about her doing so – good for him.

Guess Clinton is right on one thing. You are out of touch Mr. Obama.

You are both playing politics, you just have more people keeping your dirt down. While they kick up hers.

down the drainer you go Obama

Shame on Hillary for trying to twist Obama's words for her benefit. Anyone with family in manufacturing knows that Obama speaks the truth. I'd rather have honesty than lies.

Get off it Senator Obama. You showed your true colors. I have followed you the entire campiagn, and your arrogance has caught up with you.

Post this CNN.

Is there a video of this speech anywhere on the internet? I want to see it. I don't think it's been posted on Youtube yet.

Shame on you Hill. Day after day, you unveil how dirty your tactics could be and you have no ethical boundaries in order to win the race..

obama needs to go away with his supporters?shut-up people about the clintons?go hillary o8?

OBAMA 08' – She is ridiculous...

Interesting, so I thought he wasnt into dirty politics?

LOL, I only wish I could have heard the tone in his voice!!! THATS RIGHT Obama. You dont have to apologize for speaking the truth. Sometimes the truth hurt, and its the people that cause the problem (i.e. Clinton and NAFTA) that will be the ones to defend themselves at all costs, even if it consists of twisting words. If she was so good at shooting guns, she would have taken out those people that were shooting at her that day she recalls so well.....oh wait, IT NEVER HAPPENED!

Sen. Clinton is really over stating this, poor judgement on her part.
"out of touch" ,"demeaning", "elitist." Way too much.

Relax Hillary, did Obama ever call you a liar, and a cheat,

Obama 08

Politics And politicians should be ouytlaswed!

Is he mad because what she says is unfair, or because she has chosen to point out a rather disturbing trend for our Democratic nominees?

When was the last time you actually shot a gun, Hillary?

Great response from Obama! I think the Clinton team is twisting his words.

The gall of Obama calling Hillary, Annie Oakley. I guess then we should call him Stepin Fetchit; because with comments like calling Pennsylvanians "bitter" he sure isn't that sharp.

of course obama is frustrated and bitter he got busted. In answering a question to his doners to why he wasn't winning over some of Hillary supporters not only did he say him being black was a reason, he said that when people are bitter they "cling" to guns, god, and are bigots. obama is an arrogant snob.

This is getting ridiculous! HRC is getting desperate, and Senator Obama is getting exhausted; don't Hillary and Bill see what they are doing to their party?

Senator Obama is the best hope we have for unity, and hopefully the voters in PA will understand this, and send HRC and Bill home.

Obama '08

Yes Obama has hit the nail directly on the issues.
Hillary is the last person in the democratic party to use this tactice againt a fellow democrats.

Shame on her big time.

Obama...you are untruthful...no real experience..and should be preaching in a church even though you do not believe and joined the church in question to further your political career. I cannot believe the American people are so blind to believe you have any
experience to hold the highest position in this country!

Cry baby! Get over it, Obama. You want to pleaese everyone and that is impossible. Welcome to politics.

I'll read this report after the grammar and spelling errors are corrected.

CNN should really proof-read items before they get posted. This article has several spelling errors and words that just don't belong.
"...connect with gun wners"; "...her campaign for heir reaction"; "...more commanding than the his usual stump ";
Is this where our educational system has taken us?

obama acts as though he has never said anything like that toward Hillary,He is so one sided.

It's about time Barack, let the games begin. No more Mr. Nice guy, she ain't returning the favor.

It is about time Obama called this liar out on the carpet.

Obama should examine himselve deeply from the bottom of his heart, instead of using distractive political tactics to initiate attack like this. He has been fatally wounded by himself and my sense of this event is that he is close to the end.

Except your mistake and get out of the race,you are dividing the democrat party.

Clinton is desperate. I think Obama understands more of what is going on in small town Ohio than Clinton. Sorry to say that many voters from Ohio listened to gossip and not that facts for the Primary. I was shocked that Clinton won Ohio. Hopefully, by November, the voters will be united for Obama. She is not doing the party any favors by staying in the race. Obama is not out of touch but Clinton is.

Hillary,
On several occasions you might have taken your words back. Sen. Obama has regreted for his choice of words, though he does not mean to say what you are making a loud noise of.

For god sake, stop it Hillary... Let the democrats win the election this November.

Obama speaks for the people, when he says that we are angry, frustrated, and yes bitter because we are having problems making ends meet. Obama is right.
"Obama 08"

I frankly think both of you Obama and Clinton are out of touch.

Gee, is this picture big enought?

Golly isn't this amusing! Next they each will take out a membership in the NRA. What a circus of nitwits !

I pity this man... What else can I say?

Lets not forget Canadian whiskey drinking to too....

So what type of guns do HC shoot, toy guns or real ones ?? do we dare to load them ?? and what about Bills gun laws ?? did she do any work for that like on the Nafta deal ??

TYPICAL obamanable lies

Great!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The best defense is an offense!

Would someone in the media please ask him who in PA and where told him they have deep-seated ill will to people who are different from them?

Or, was that his opinion?

Either way, someone who wants to be our next President did not need to say these awful comments behind closed doors with his wealthy donors laughing in the backround.

I find it funny that the woman whose husband championed NAFTA and who netted over a hundred million dollars in 6 years can call anyone "elitist"... Hilary needs to get grip! ASAP!

i agree clinton is out of touch...
OBAMA 08!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The Clintons "in touch". Give me a break. The Clintons are narcissistic, self-centered egos that are in touvh with nothing other than themselves.

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

Go Obama Go...I believe in you. She is digging for dirt.. don't fall for it!

i know many of you guys hate this guy because hes smart inteligent !

i want you guys just go ahead and votes for who ever you love clinton or macain ! me and my dudes a millions voices ill vote for obama and undecides ill make they choices ! obama 08

Lol, Annie Oakley.

This guy needs to be president ASAP

Such a positive candidate. Different and above "the politics
as usual" fray. Yeah right.

Stop inserting your foot into your mouth and grow thicker
skin, Barack. That will solve a lot of ills.

Those Republicans are going to be a lot nastier than
HRC this summer/fall.

hey obama,

you should be a reverend...like you know...wright

your full of rhettoric and bitterness

Way to go Obama!!!!!!!

Bitter in AR

OB08

Obama is something else! He did not get rid of his preacher, even Oprah left that church.

I love him more and more each day.

i am absolutely disgusted by Obama.

i may not vote for McCain as a Democrat, but I certainly would rather abstain completely before casting a vote for Obama.

It would be cool if someone proofread articles before they are posted.

Wow.

Once again HRC and McCain are taking his words out of context.

shame on you senator cinton,meet me in Pa lets debate ur shameles tactics.

"That's some politics being played" all right, Senator Obama and it's being played by you. Can't you campaign without the hypocrisy?

Shame on her for calling me on my BS.

Go Obama 08'

he should have, she's satan incarnate!

Hillary Clinton is snake oil salewoman. She has no morals and no self-respect.

Barry Obama......do not take the "bait" that she keeps dangling in front of you.....she is so desperate she can't even think!

Just let her keep searching for nonsence to talk about, and keep focused on the real issues, she is "trash" and does not understand how to be a statesman, that is her problem....what else could come from Arkansas, but trash!

Bravo Obama! Its about time you called her out! Bravo!!!!!!!!!!!!

Obama you always have an excuse two what you said but didn't meant to say.

Sounds like Obama is getting a little vicious. He needs to back off. His comments were his mistake, he shouldn't try to turn the tables back onto Hillary.

finally, Obama man's up and stops playing Mr. Nice Guy...I just hope this does not come back at him!!!

There certainly will be blood over becoming president

He has been wounded by his own comments and the only way he can change the topic is get bitter himself and attack. I guess the change in politics as usual does not prevent him from taking personal attacks on Clinotn. So much for his new politics, looks a lot like the old politics

Just keep digging your hole deeper, Obama. You made a huge mistake and blaming Hillary isn't going to cut it. You need to aplogize to the good people of PA. Admit it. Be humble and apologize. Otherwise, I think you have just lost the entire white, blue-collar vote.

Clinton is dodging the bullet of Bosnian sniper fire, Mark Penn, Colombian Trade, Bill, NAFTA and the rest of her lies and unethical campaign tactics that have come back to bite her back. Stop underestimating the American public. I will not support a campaign built on fear and ignorance. Go Obama!

Finally!!! Thank you for calling her out on all her lies and the say anything person she is. Time to take the gloves off because she is trying to lie her way into the nomination.

this guy has no chance at becoming President. he should join a bowling league.

wooo! You go Obama!

hillary is becoming irrevalent, you know ? Her pathetic attempt to put words in other people's mouth are as disgusting as the lies that come out of her own mouth, you know ? American hates hillary, you know ?

I am so glad to see him responding back to Clinton's attacks more forcefully. He is still keeping it above the fray but not letting her get away with her normal potshots to take attention away from her failing campaign!

Sounds like he's a little bitter now. When things don't go Barry's way, he starts to whine. And so the imploding begins...

Does anyone read these before they get published? Spellcheck is not the godsend people think it is!

Sen. Obama might remember that Annie Oakley was always on target, as is in this instance Sen. Clinton.

She's just echoing what Southern Democrats, like Dave ‘Mudcat’ Saunders, are feeling.

Great comeback, Barack.

The way your comment was dissected and criticized was unreal. They can't find anything legitimate to nail you on so they pick any little thing that they might be able to find a populus to upset. After the first couple of articles, I quit reading about it. I found it disgusting.

Clinton is getting absolutely ridiculous. At times it's humorous to watch her and Bill in their sinking ship; at other times it's disgusting.

There's one sure thing Mr Obama, you could never be a Wild Bill, because Hillary's Husband. You'de be more like Sitting Bull.....
