Obama: Shame on Clinton. (Photo credit: AP)
STEELTON, Pennsylvania (CNN) – A visibly agitated Barack Obama accused Hillary Clinton Sunday of acting like "Annie Oakley ...packin’ a six shooter” in her attempts to connect with gun owners, and used some of his most heated language to date to attack her and her campaign for their reaction to his comments from a now infamous California fundraiser.
"Shame on her," he told a Steelton crowd.
"I expected this out of John McCain," Obama said in a decibel higher than his every day stump tone. "But I've gotta say, I'm a little disappointed when I start hearing the exact same talking points coming out of my Democratic colleague Hillary Clinton. She knows better. Shame on her."

Barack Obama – has won her greater support among some elements of the electorate, especially blue-collar voters, pollsters say. But it has also come at a cost, as Clinton continues to be hamstrung by public impressions of her as divisive and untrustworthy.
