Watch Clinton's comments Monday.
PITTSBURGH, Pennsylvania (CNN) – On Monday, with the Pennsylvania primary just days away, Hillary Clinton continued to hammer Barack Obama over his comments that small town Americans "cling to guns or religion" because they are "bitter."
But the audience at a forum put on by the Alliance for American Manufacturing didn't appreciate her line of attack.
"I understand my opponent came this morning and spent a lot of his time attacking me," she said at the beginning of her remarks here.
Many in the crowd responded with audible groans, and a few shouted, "No!"
Obama spoke to the same forum earlier in the morning and ribbed Clinton for doing a shot of whiskey in front of TV cameras on Saturday in Indiana.
Clinton continued, "I know that many of you, like me, were disappointed by the recent remarks he made."
This time, a louder, sustained chorus of "No!" emanated from the audience. Clinton soldiered on.
"I am well aware that at a fundraiser in San Francisco he said some things that many people in Pennsylvania and beyond Pennsylvania have found offensive," she said.
This time, a smaller smattering of jeers.
It was only when Clinton concluded her opening remarks by attacking President Bush that she received a warm round of applause.
The Clinton campaign later said the disgruntled reaction to her remarks came from Obama supporters in attendance.
Several audience members told CNN after the speech they came to the forum to hear each candidate talk about trade issues, and were not interested in the political back-and-forth of the Democratic primary race.
When Clinton focused on policy and expounded on enforcing trade agreements, creating new jobs and standing up to China, she received some hearty ovations.
But despite Pittsburgh's working class reputation, it was at times a tough crowd for the New York senator.
As the question and answer session began, one man asked Clinton for assurances that American workers would not be "tricked" like they had been when her husband signed NAFTA in 1993.
A press release distributed to reporters by the Alliance for American Manufacturing calculated that Pennsylvania lost 44,173 jobs due to NAFTA between 1993 and 2004.
Clinton, who spent much of her speech attacking America's trade imbalance with China, responded by drawing a line in the sand between her policy positions and her husband's trade record.
"As smart as my husband is, he does make mistakes," Clinton quipped.

HA!!! I heard about this...that's what you get for playing too many dirty politics, HRC.
What you are failing to realize is that Obama is fighting for the average American wheather you live in small town America or Big City. He wants to give tax breaks to those making less than 75k not the very wealthy like bush has. He wants to make sure your job where you make your salary stays in your town and does not get shipped off overseas somewhere and if it does then you'll really understand the "BITTER" part of knowing that Washington is looking out for you.
Hillary and Bill are looking out for themselves and that 109 million will triple if she gets to be president because all the Rich folks that has there hands on Hill and Bill will get paid and so will Hill and Bill.
Obama said something which happens to be true, and everyone jumped on him like he stole something!! People do turn to GOD when times are bad!
Small town people do go hunting when they do not have jobs - they have to put food on the table!! There is nothing wrong in trying to survive!
That's right Hillary! You are in for a BIG suprise next Tuesday! PA is sick and tired of the infighting. Unions and Veterans will come out in droves for Obama!
Good for you Pennsylvanians, dont take her crap, a petty woman, who makes a windsock look like its working hard to catch the wind.
That's right Hillary! You are in for a BIG suprise next Tuesday! PA is sick and tired of the infighting. Unions and Veterans will come out in droves for Obama!

People..., Please send in more money now for Obama. We need more money to cover-up this latest attack on Obam's so called integrity.
Obama needs to give another speech in front of my special Obama-bots again, Buy out all political analyst, radio talk show hosts and also keep pay the bloggers who keep posting praises no matter what! and for some more beer parties for our College Kid supporters.
Please help Obama today. Send in more of you hard earned money now. !!!
YES WE CAN !!! (Cover up this again)
___________________________________________________
I bet she cackeled uncomfortably.
I don't know how Obama escapes it, but Hillary's true strength is her ability to make people dislike her. It may be her credibility issues or her lack of leadership concerning her campaign. She has her issues and Obama has his, but he seems to not generate the strong negative emotions that Hillary does.
Angus in 08!
Goes to show you. Many people understood what Obama meant to say.
Catch a clue. Quit NOW!
Her little tactic backfired on her. Get on with the next topic!
CNN reported that superdelegates need to consider ""bitter"" remarks They also need to consider Hillary Clinton""s campaign problems!
1st: NAFTA Flip Flop
2nd: The war in Iraq vote!
3rd: Agreeing to sign up for the rules that were stated by the DNC in respect to Florida and Mich.
4th: Destroying the Democratic Party for her win at all cost policy.
5th: Slashing and Bashing Obama and then wanting him to be her running mate.
6th: Financial handling of campaign funds spent over 100 million during Iowa campaign.
7th: Lying about Bosnia and Sniper Fire.
8th: Not taking Obama serious as a contender for President,. She thought she had it in the bag from the beginning of her campaign.
9th: South American tarde issue with Mark Penn and her huband Bill Clinton.
10th: ONE MORE BIG ONE SHE DOES NOT PAY HER BILLS FROM HER CAMPAIGN FUNDS.
The GOP and McCain will use all of this if she wins the nomination. She has made herself very, very unelectable the way I see it. She has poor judgment that is the bottom line issue for Superdelegates to examine.
THIS HAS TO BE ONE OF THE FEW TIMES IN U.S. POLITICAL HISTORY WHEN A MULTI-MILLIONAIRE HAS ACCUSED A MUCH LESS WEALTHY FELLOW PUBLIC SERVANT, A PERSON OF THE SAME PARTY AND VIEWS WHO MADE MUCH LESS LUCRATIVE CAREER CHOICES, OF "ELITISM"!

I grew up in Pennsylvania outside of Hazleton and I know the people there aren't stupid. They're able to see right through Hillary's antics and lies.
Obama is the best hope we Americans have. We really can't afford more of Clinton's lies and dividing the democratics.
Obama '08
I'm not the only one getting fed up with your attacks on Obama Clinton. Start paying attention!
I guess the Key state is finally listening to their consciounce and hearing the words: Hope will always overcome fear. Can you feel PA sliiping away Hillary supporters? Your in for a BIG surprise come April 22. And if your not on board you WILL get left behind. Lets bring America back!
She just can't help herself.
She is a shameless political opportunist who will stop at nothing to try and hang on in this race
Worse yet, she is a pathological liar who has absolutely no business criticizing anyone.
The American people don't want Clinton (either one of them) and soon she will be out of this race.
Is there video? I need a good laugh. Love to see her squirm.
Jeers for Clinton in "her" state...
Looks like PA is realizing that Clinton's way is not America's way!
Typical reaction of childish SNOBama supporters
Hillary, you should take your own advice you gave to Bill.
Just SHUT UP!
New poll, Hillary up 20% now in PA.
we need to wake up and see whos pushing this story its the news media not hillary
Thank god some are not falling for her outright gradeschoolian tactics. Hillary Clinton has no morals and no self-respect. She is a shameless politician. Hopefully this will send a message for her knock it the bleep off.
She has become quite a republican in this race! I think McCain is pretty happy that he has Hillary to do the dirty work for him while he tries to make an independent appeal.
You know how you can know she is lying? Her lips are moving.
Pennsylvanians! PLEASE don't waste your votes and help McCain beat us in November.
HOW LONG WOULD IT TAKE FOR A PENNSYLVANIA FAMILY TO EARN THE $800,000.00 (EIGHT HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLARS) THAT HILLARY CLINTON RECEIVED FROM THE COLUMBIAN GOVERNMENT?
Hillary deserves a long vacation in Colombia, near an emerald mine. She is tired and stressed out and now unable to even keep her audience interested in her boring monologue.
Go home – Is it NY? PA? or AK? Whatever, just go. Leave us alone.
"The Clinton campaign later said the disgruntled reaction came to Clinton's remarks came from Obama supporters in attendance."
More like people that aren't going to play along with your twisting of his honest words that were never intended to be demeaning or hurtful and didn't come from a bad place until they filtered through your head. Witch.
People do turn to God when times are tough and I speak as an atheist!
Hahahaha. Shame on Hillary. You remind me of how the dog bit the owner. LOL
What this whole country should be BITTER about is the fact that we had a contract between 40 and 100 billion dollars to build UNITED STATES AIR FORCE aircraft and that contract was sent overseas (France). NOW IF THAT"S NOT ENOUGH TO MAKE YOU BITTER, THEN WHAT IS?
OR MAYBE THAT BILLY BOY HAS BEEN PAID BY THE CHINESE GOVERNMENT (dont" know how much) BUT THIS IS THE SAME GOVERNMENT THAT HILLARY HAS BEEN CARRYING ON ABOUT REGARDING HUMAN RIGHTS.
HILLARY'S AGAINST CAFTA, BUT ALL OF HER HIGH RANKING PEOPLE (YES BILL ALSO) ARE IN SUPPORT OF CAFTA. WHAT'S GOING ON HERE???? YES WE ARE PISSED OFF AND BITTER.
His attacks were way worse, but here we are again with his supporters attacking her. How can he jeer her for drinking a beer when he just did the exact same thing and has been talking about it ever since?
Come on.
Rumor has it that Obamabots have now started showing up at Hillary's speaking engagements just to heckle her.
Yeah, that's real mature there Barry.
I'm still trying to figure out what's wrong with "throwing back a shot and beer?" Is there anything "American" you won't attack?
Wow! I bet Clinton had no idea this would backfire in her face. I love it.
wow.
just wow.
obama08
Barack the truth Obama
that's who I am voting for ……
If the next states can't close this up.
then we will here in Oregon.
where are the signs
I am Bitter and I want change
Barack Obama 08
I'll take one, heck I'll tale two
who else wants a sign????
The truth is powerful, and Obama spoke the truth. Too bad Hillary just doesn't get it. So who is out of touch and elitist?
This is the kind of crap she has to put up with.
He can attack her and say anything he want's but
if she attack's him, they have to defend there little
punk kid.
I've allway's said that Pennsylvania has one good thing,
the Liberty Bell, and that's got a crack in it.
Thank you sooo much labor crowd
You have made me PROUD to be an Intellegent American Today.
thank you and God bless you.
What a pseudo-campaign put on by Barack Obama supporters! If they yell loud enough, they think it will sway voters... It doesn't work that way! To Obama supporters, you are shooting yourselves in the foot! We're finally seeing the real Obama – and it isn't pretty or humble – it's arrogant and snide... Let's see some more!
There on to you Hillary!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Say "No!" to the Shady First Lady!!!
Hillary Clinton continues to lob spitballs at Barack Obama and try to convince the public and the media that they're cannonballs. If that's truly all the ammunition that she has to use against him, he'll win the general election for SURE.
Obama '08!
Penn people are really smart.
One of the few times Hillary is right. She nails it. I have a grudging respect and admiration for the woman. Think I'd like her on a personal level, but she's too liberal.
"no news" – are you serious? did you not see how Hillary INSTANTLY came out in public and laced into Obama, calling him "elitist", etc..?
To call Hillary an opportunist is an understatement...
She should be jeered at about taking his comments out of context. People do turn to religion and unfortunately some to crime with things get very, very bad.
We are bitter, bitter to see our plants close and go south to Mexico taking the jobs with them.
We can't turn to our government, they don't listen. Why do you think peoples approval levels of the Senate, House and President are some of the lowest in history.
If Hillary doesn't realize that, then I guess being born into a wealthy family and living wealthy ALL her life has left her out of touch with the other 95%.
Say "No!" to the Shady First Lady!!!

I find it interesting that even though the media is jumping on Senator Obama again, and once again not reporting on the myriad of misdirections and obfuscations made by Senator Clinton and her campaign, that the people of the Keystone State are not buying her version of events – and identifying with Senator Obama. This will be an interesting week.
You would think Hillary is fighting for the last slot on the High School Varsity Cheerleading Squad, not the most important job in America. Get a grip, Girl, and grow up! A little maturity would be nice......
The crowd may not have been booing Senator Clinton; they were booing at what Senator Obama has said.
You can only create what you can articulate. Someone was able to articulate the "car" before the first car was invented. Barack articulates a future that's inspiring and promises new hopwe and he does it authentically, committedly and selflessly. Hilary could do the same if her attention was less on inflating herself. Clearly, Barack cares more about the people, us, that Hilary does – so, the choice is easy for me.
Madana, Fl.
Proud of you sons and daughters of Pennsylvania.........YOU are not taking the bate of the CLINTONS
We need to look at the big picture. I hope people will read the full story, the title is a little ambigious. I can understand their plight. I am lucky in that I don't have to worry about myself. My children and grandchildren are another story. Neither minium wage nor unemployment, will support even a single person, much less a family. Thankfully, I am able help them on many occasions. I think the Clinton administration allowed us to secure our future. Things were good, people were better off 7 years ago. I believe they can be good again under Hillary Clinton. Obama may preach hope, but can he deliver? He appears to cave too easily, to get the job done. His nuclear bill became so watered down it was useless. Exelon benefited from his weak stance..I just don't see change, when your supporters are some of the oldest Washington insiders. Kennedy and Kerry in particular. So, my vote stays with Hillary, to the point of writing her name if necessary.
YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Finally!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Go Obama! Keep your foot on her NECK and put the other foot on Bill's NECK!
She might have avoided the response from the crowd if she had shared a shot of Kentucy Bourbon (not Canadien whiskey) with them before she went on the attack.
Hillary doesnt realize it is HER that the voters reject!!!!!!!!!!!!!! She is every bit as dishonest as Bill. The Clintons just need to go away and us Dems would be better off for it.
It is truly sad to see what Hillary Clinton has become. Perhaps she and Bill were always so morally corrupt throughout his administration, however I and my family gave them the benefit of the doubt throughout all of their "problems". I couldn't wait for her to be the first female president, and not because she was female, but rather a continuation of the Clinton administration. Her dishonesty with the American people and especially herself is quite frightening. If she wins the the nomination, we as proud Americans will all loose. We will lose domestically and internationally. She is not the face of "moral authority" as she claims. She needs to get out of the race before she further becomes a danger to herself and others, and the future of America.
Sen. Obama has admitted that he was not present when those "bitter" comments were made.
Why do I have a feeling that I want to be sick in my stomach..Doctor help me....oHHHH yesss I saw Hillary talking her crap again....Ahhh Oh I see. I am just having the same symptoms as the rest of our country when they listen to Hillary.... GUESS Hillary is intentionally in the race after having lost so she can make some money off the health care lobby.
Hillary is the one who is unelectable!!!! ------That's why the republicans wan't so much to see her win the nomination. The democrats are theyr'e own worst enemy, not smart enough to see reality. Keep going in this direction and McCain will be the next president.
gun packing beer swigging hillary has got to dodge more than sniper fire. hillary under estimated the intellect of the blue collar. who is the elitist worth 100 million? her lies have come to bite her back.
THERE IS NO NEW POLL SHOWING HILLARY UP BY 20% UNLESS IT WAS CONDUCTED BY BILL. CUT THE BS PETER! NO WONDER YOU SUPPORT HER YOU GIRLY MAN LOL
LIAR HILLARY & DUMB MCCAIN
Only a fool would vote for these Democratic clowns.
Has any body seen a real issue lately? All this 'made up' controversy and endless counter punching isn't doing any body any good about informing people of real issues.
Thank you to the people of PA. Don't let her distract you from the issue. Let's show them we are tired of losing our jobs. We need a plan to create new ones. How many Republicans and Democrats have come to your Small Towns, promising to bring back jobs....and they haven't. At least Obama is being honest with you guys. Show the American people you are not buying it anymore.
Vote for Obama and end the Drama.
Go Hillary Go. -- Obama will say anything just to get votes. NOBAMA for all the "WRIGHT" reasons!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
i think the "bitter" people of pa have spoken . and they are saying BYE BYE HILLARY!
The sad part in all of this is; to much time being spent on nonsense, and not enough time being spent on the issues. Obama hit it right on the button. Old Washington poitics. Now PA is really starting to see.
GO OBAMA!!!
Hillary's comments sounded very elitist to me!
Oh that Hillary! Loves to take credit for the positive things from the Clinton years, but disavows the negative things from the Clinton years. Wake up Pennslyvania and Indiana, let's turn the page on divisive politics! Heck, even McCain is telling his inner circle that he wants to run against Hillary and not Obama.
Penn and Indiana. If she makes it, you will be voting for one
of the most hated women in America. She lies, she distorts the
truth. She takes one word "bitter' that Obama says and emplodes
it to make us forget about her Bosnia, Canada, Columbian, Nafta.
stories. She knows exactly how to take the heat of herself. She
waits until a Fri. to throw in the monkey wrench.
If she wins, she will continue to consort with Republicans and lobbiest.. She will never thank you for your vote and she will never
look back or come back. Obama is tapping in to all of forgotten
and downtrodden Americans, not just you!!! We have all felt "bitter"
at times. Obama cares he will never forget you and he is not an "elitist"
Hillary knows that that word is part of the reason Gore and Kerry lost.
That is definitely it ... I would not be voting for Hillary Clinton (or any Clinton) every ! I rather would vote for George Bush to be president for the next generation!
She is diverting the attention from her Bosnia-Gate and Colombia-Gate and the media is just blindly following the agenda. A sad state of a democracy ... but then again, the media fell in lockstep with George Bush before when it was ordered.
Bottom line, I think the Democratic Party is broken. Billary is taking it down with her eyes on 2012. The superDs don't have the guts to stand up to HillyBilly ...
I know Obama can lead this country in a better future .. about the Democrats at large, I am not that sure.
It's time to pack it in, Hill...everyone with a shred of intelligence are taking your rants and raves about the word "bitter" with much less than a grain of salt. You're merely using this tactic to take the onus off of you and your MANY issues that will (and do) harm to the American people. You're so pathetic and entirely irrelvant at this point.
to tampa, some peoplenever come out from their rock so you have to let them say their bush like statements
I like how at the end, she even throws her own husband under the bus...
Deb, frrom another blog has been calling Obama a "creep"
Deb is a "white, filty, racist"
Deb is uneducated, and thus narrow-minded
Deb has not done her homework or research on the Clinton lies and sins.
Deb is simply a follower and must be very "gulliable." In the sphere of psychology, people like Deb are noted as "borderline personality."
I could go on, but for anyone to use such a "filty" language against another human being says a lot and should not get away with it, period!
nomatter how dumb they sound
Senator Clinton: You are beating a dead horse. Your shallow criticisms
of Senator Obama do not invite voters to find you attractive as a person or as a President.
Hillary is looking and sounding pretty bitter herself as her campaign continues to self-destruct.
I am a Clinton supporter but there is a such thing as an overkill. Instead of talking about Obama directly, I think she should just continue with her message of optimism and change for the better!
As far as her getting booed-first off–I am sure they were Obama supporters-this isn't the first time she's been booed and I know it won't be the last! Oh well! All candidates get booed or have some type of heckling at some time or another. This is no biggie at all but Clinton SHOULD NOT continue to beat this thing in the ground! So hopefully, this was a wake up call to her.
What CNN didn't report is how the crowd reacted to Obama! I wonder..........
I am an independent who does not want a continuation of the Bush/Cheney administration carried out by John McCain. It is therefore very important that people stop calling for Hillary to quit. Her tactics and strategy are not working but she must be allowed to take them as far as SHE wants to so that when she does concede, then everyone will know it is because she lost fair and square. Her attempts to be a republican in her attacks on Senator Obama only makes him stronger and yes, he has avoided taking himself down to her level. He is different in that respect. She will at some point release her people to vote democratic for the sake of the country and that action is what will save her political future. For those who think Mr. Obama is unelectable you need only look at the full-blown attacks he's survived from his OWN party to see that he is the true fighter and survivor, without being a dirty "kitchen sink" fighter.
Obama is the Annie Oakley wannabe and he shot himself in the foot!
The fact that should not be overlooked is that the "Bitter" comment were words that came out of Obama’s mouth. It wasn't anyone else's fault that he said it, he wasn’t forced to. I take him at his word, especially since he's supposed to be so honest, intelligent and poised. It did sound eliteist. He may not be rich but he sure wants to be. And if "he didn't mean it", he's just a panderer, just like he's been accused of being.
Obama has had to "re-state" a lot of things in recent memory......more like had to spin a lot of things (especially that “race” speech)!
Sorry Obama supporters, he brought this one on himself, with his own words. Words that sounded pretty sincere and well thought out.
He obviously didn't think anyone would hear what he said outside of that room which means that they were probably more from his heart. What’s in a man’s heart is key!
"New poll, Hillary up 20% now in PA."
New poll showing Obama up by 14 in New Hampshire. Wait....
Polls RULE!
Leave this poor woman alone. She is the Democrats best chance to beat McCain. Can't you fools see that Obama is not electable. This is America. We believe in our Country. We defend it. We own guns.
Drink Beer and don't apologize for it. Actually some of us drink wine, but then so do the French.
Hillary is no different than me and you. She likes to have fun. Exaggerates a little about what she has done and not done.
But at least she is an American that has served her country with honor and dignity. God Bless Hillary and John McCain.
What is wrong with the American public? No one has questioned Senator Obama on whether he feels that the violent and destructive preachings of Rev. Wright are based on "bitterness" or not. It appears that he willing to blame small town Americans as to holding on to "guns and religion" out of bitterness, yet fails to blame Rev. Wright for his attempt to teach hatred to black Americans.
Senator Obama speaks differently in private than he does in public and that causes me concern. Yes, Americans (of every color) have a right to be bitter over the loss of jobs and for economic hardship but that does give him the right to catagorize it simply as "smalltown Americans". He offends everyone with his comments.
Obama has been slinging mud since day one and when his back is against the wall his slings more. This time his calls to "just got past it" aren't going to work. He has proven himself again to be nothing more then a liar and a hypocrite. His chickens are coming home to roost and the super delegates are listening. He has absolutely no chance in November now so please vote smart, vote Clinton. Love her or hate her she will make a helluva president.
boycott cnn for their bias reporting.
When Obama gets the dem. nomination Hillary could team up with McCain. She seems to agree with him on alot of issues.
What Obama and the rest of America are saying is that Hillary will say and do anything to become President. ANYTHING!!!
are people finally seeing hillary for what she is?
consider my faith in the american populace to have increased slightly.
Hillary stick to the issues, people are tired of the kitchen sink tactic!
This woman is so clueless , she is about to get a huge wake up call. I look for her to get run completely out of the Democratic party .
talking about Bill Clinton and NAFTA Hillary says: "As smart as my husband is, he does make mistakes."
So does her chief strategist, apparently.
Have my dreams become a reality....are people actually beginning to see Hillary as the devisive candidate who will stop at nothing to win. She proclaims this is not a game yet that's how she's acting...like winning the family monoply game.I believe she was lucky to get only polite groans. Barack will be our next president so please step aside and spare yourself the embaressment.
obama 08 YEAH!
What is the problem with what Obama said? Most people, if not all, turn to something (like faith, fishing, books, etc) where they can take comfort when they feel helpless. Not everybody is like Bill that they would turn to Monicas when they are frustrated.
Well, did all you obama lovers check the polls in PA this morning?
Clinton 57 – obama 37
Rest my case...
Hillary will say and do anything to get elected as she did in New York.
I think she was jealous that her huband was President and wants to show him a thing or two.
At least Obama is not a say anything kind of guy. I know Penn will see that Obama is the best candidate and Hillary needs to go away.
Okay to attack her...in stupid mocking ways
but she can't ever attack him
She might as well have come out and said I endorse McCain for all the positive response she got from PA.
Keep it up, Hillary, keep in this race. Maybe you'll finally answer questions about Peter Paul while you're in the media spotlight.
Good...serves her right. She needs to focus on paying her campaign's healthcare bills before attacking Obama.
The tide is turning...this "bittergate" issue is a blessing in disguise for Sen. Barack Obama. Good for him.
Obama supporters are Obnoxious and Delusional what else can you expect. What's the matter, can dish it out but can't take it?
When will Hillary get it? Obama was correct in his "bitter" comment as many people are BITTER. With all the negativitity she has brought to this primary election it will be interesting to see how she will support him when he does get the nomination. I pray she changes her tune soon. Can she not see the frustration and bitterness in the american people, not just in PA but across the US...
Obama 08
Sorry MCHILLARY you have been called out for who you are a REPUBLICAN .
Obama really betrayed us
After Rev. Jeremiah Wrights controversy Mc Cain gain his ground all the polls prove that
After BITTER controversy Mc Cain will gain more
Now time for Obama to step side
Unfair and Unbalanced network (Fox) happy about the current situation they want Obama to be a nominee
Then only they can beat the drum loud in November I hate to see that
Obama please quit the race
Bitter you say. When over 1 million homes fourclosed, those americans became bitter. If this was not an election year our goverment would still be watching families loose there homes.
Men become Bitter when there long time jobs are taken away and they can take care of there families.
Famlies become Bitter when you cant aford to supply your family with health care.
Hillary know people are Bitter, But she refuses to admitt it.
Obama's new slogan:
" now, now... stop parsing my words... what i really meant was..."
Isn't he the one that delivered...well re-cycled... a speech that words matter.
Just words.
Phony fake hypocrite
All these e-mails reflect so much hatred from Obama fans! "shame on all of you".
Guess what? They both lie and both are using every tactic in the book to get elected. There is no angel/devil comparison here; it's a mix of both for the two of them.
This is just more proof that the small town voters were not as offended by these statements that were the truth.The media and the other two campaigns are blowing it way out of proportion.I am from small town WV and even my 20 year old daughter asked me what was so wrong about it?.Eletists make 100 million dollars and contiouously lie to the public.
Go Hillary ....You will win
you would think cnn would let this storygo unless the candidates bring it up.... but i dont think so. so sad ...cnn use to be a fair news outlet!
Note to Hillary: next time your order a shot, at least make it a shot of Jack Daniels, not Canadian whiskey. It's just a thought.
Beware of the wolf in HRC clothing!!!!
I guess when you lose your job, family and life you CELEBRATE! My 2 friends just lost thier jobs of 16 and 24 years. We danced the night away. Yeah right. No you get just a little bit BITTER. She's an elitist who thinks we are all dumb. Give me a break. Stop insulting our intelligence.
Hillary needs to lok at the Huffington post at her own husbands remarks.Hmmm caught again Mrs C.Live the good life on someone elses dime now.
Hilary Clinton needs to be done slamming Obama for that comment he made. It's playing like a broken record and that's what her campaign is an old out dated record player lol. When a Maufacturing Alliance fourm starts booing her for continuing to slam Obama about the comment, then her campign need to change the game plan and think of other drity tactics that will hurt her campaign. To me this equals no leadership.
"Obama 08 enough said"
I juat do not see the young, educated, well-informed Obama supporters EVER voting for McCain over Clinton.
I DO see the stupid, ignorant old geezers easily voting for McCain over Obama.
So an Obama win now is an Obama loss later.
PA votors do not need anyone to interpret Obama's condescending remarks.
Obama called us a bunch of gun-toting, bible-thumping, isolationist, racist hicks.
He said it, and we heard it.
And we do not need Obama to "put into context" Wright's racist rants.
I agree with Obama, I am bitter that I just put of $50 of gas in my car when it usually takes $42. I am bitter that most of my town has for sale/foreclosure signs up. I am bitter that the Republicans couldn't care less!!!
Actually hes right about the 20% lead in PA. Its from American Research Group. But this is the same poll that said Obama was tied/leading against Clinton in Ohio. I think that and all polls with a bit of doubt.
It was a mistake for her to make light of Obama's comments on small town bitterness. It was a mistake because we are all bitter. And it feels good to have that recognized....not glossed over. We are bitter and depressed and rady to stand up and take our country and our lives back....the booing will get louder
Bill make 800k for his speech right, well Obama pulled over 1 million out of his short trip to the Getty house where he said this. Obama did 3 of these little high dollar speech thing in 6 hours,,,,so who is selling what to who. Put down the kool aid and look. Open your eye's OBAMAIANS he is selling the same thing that they all sell. He is selling you fools out!
This is starting to sound like a day time TV show. The world continues to laugh at the US. CNN should was really shooting for a Pulitzer with that article. Is there nothing newsworthy today? The longer McCain keeps out of their bickering the better he looks. Democrats know how to really kill their chances at an election.
Hillary is paranoid,she came out and the first thing she said was that ,Obama is talking about me.Well,if she stops spinning this bitter thing,he would not have to respond.DUH!!!!
Sorry Hillary, but I agree with Barack. I am frustrated with and tired of the Washington, D.C. crowd. They don't listen to the American people. I often pray for God's help in times of trouble. Go Pennsylvania voters! Get her out of the race.
Hillary be careful your plan is back firing....Those of us who are trying to keep our families feed, gas in our cars, and paying our mortgages don't give a "hoot" about your political tatics. We are more concern about paying our bills. You are out of touch....
In today's economic climate, homeowners holding onto what they already have is a challenge and source of distress for significant numbers of them. Nearly three in 10 said they are concerned their home's value will decline over the next two years, while 14 percent of mortgage holders expressed worry that they might miss payments in the next six months.
Are we not bitter?
Last year those that bought their houses for $350, 000, cannot even sell them for $200,000
Are we not bitter?
Glad to see that her veneer has been shaved away. When you are a multimillionare, I don't think you can call someone else and elitist. Especially when that person has only a tenth of your wealth!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
McCain must be sitting back smiling... He doens't have to say a word and these two tear each other up and down...
This is creating too much bad blood in the party... it will have negative effects in November...
Yeah... Obama mocks while he buys votes by setting up Basketball games, and giving away free concert tickets.
Is that even legal? Sounds like a conflict of interest to me.
Oh and his bowling... that wasn't pandering for votes.
Wow. I thought jeers at a speech she gave was a rumor. I really am suprised. I guess people aren't as gullible as I thought. This is one of those times when I like being wrong.
This woman is a bigot and any fair minded person knows it.
I will celebrate when this primary is over for her future broken pieces lame duck career
OMG where is the video, I have got to see this! LOL!
Wow, way to edit that entry so that the casual reader doesn't get the whole story. This is CNN so I'm not surprised...
It could be interesting to see a first lady who isn't proud of the country she represents…
Joke 08
Obama supporters were in the crowd. Big deal. It was obvious they were his supporters as he spoke first and they were so verbal and obviously for him.
She is such a big loser. Desperate, Desperate, Desperate. Winning is now a fairy tale for the Clintons. This is a bad dream that has materialzed.
Good Hillary! keep showing you're a fighter, tough and smart. Men keep thinking they're the only ones that can get to the top on everything. Obama is now gasping for anything, even on what you're drinking, however, him and his wife must watch their 'words' in their speeches, that is worth of criticism! GO GIRL!!!!!!!!!
So explain to me again how Obama and his supporters are the voice of healing and unity?
Time for another shot of whiskey Annie. You going to need it.
The people are starting to finally see through this Clinton act that she puts on. She panders to audience of the moment. It will be a great day for America when she loses this nomination. Please Mr Carter and Mr. Gore endorse Mr. Obama so we can put closure to this issue.
Hillary, stick to the issues, please. I support you, but I'm beginning to lose faith when you resort to all these cheap shots.
Just puke, that is all I think of Michelle and her hate. Read Michelle thesis, listen to her talk and you will come to the same conclusion.
I will move to another country if she is the first lady.
Hillary promised 55,000 jobs for the workers in Buffalo, New York How many did she succeed in getting? Hillary's grandfather worked in a mill in Pennsylvania; he had a job. What she isn't in touch with is that many workers do not have jobs today. Many of our college graduates have school loans and can't find jobs to meet the cost of living. She is one of those in government that may be hearing but not listening.
After the last 7 years, I'm bitter, frustrated and clinging to God. Pockets of this nations are feeling left out. I have no problem with what Obama said. Reality is what it is. You can't come any closer to ground zero than that. Hillary is desperate. Being desperate motivates a person to grasp at straws. This is a new low!
read the article–the jeers came from obama supporters in the crowd, who supposedly wanted to hear about the issues. did they also jeer obama when he harped on the story earlier in the day? or was that okay, because are they used to NOT hearing about issues in his stumps?
Hey Tampa – sorry pal but a poll taken by the American Research Group on April 11-13 has Clinton ahead by 20%. Try not to freak out.
Question: Why didn't the courageous Obama deliver his "bitter" remarks to a small town meeting in Pennsylvania rather than at a PRIVATE fund raiser in San Francisco?
Answer: Because the man is a creep!
Hahaha. Yet more proof that people no longer buy into Hillary Clinton's lies. As a religious person, I was far more offended by the notion that she is somehow running her campaign in the image of God. If that were so, I would hate to see how the Devil campaigns. . .
Just puke, that is all I think of Michelle and her hate. Read Michelle thesis, listen to her talk and you will come to the same conclusion.
I will move to another country if she is the first lady.
Obama's latest generalization sounds like he ripped it off from one of his college professors. And I guess he's bitter so he to clings to ranting, hateful worship services. The guys a pompus, smug Chicago politician who plays his race card when it suits him.
I'm bitter about Clinton staying in this race so long. But that's okay, just as long as she leaves after it's all over.
Obama 08
If Annie Oakley wants to start toting guns, let her join a rodeo.
Think on it:
I do not see young college going kids who are loyal to no party voting for Clinton over McCain
i do see Democrats Mom voting for Obama over McCain
So an Obama win now is an Obama win later
I can only think that it must take a real idiot to vote for someone who has only been a senator for 1 year before he had the balls to run for president. He obviously must think that anyone can do a job with little or no experience. My own experience is that this always turns out badly. If you don't believe me, imagine someone new doing the job you work in. If you don't have job experience, what stops your company from replacing you for someone for lower pay. Think about it.
Forgot to add
Obamaniac in Ohio
Hillary can't quit. She would have to pay millions into her campaign
because she hasn't paid her bills. Or she just won't pay her campaign
bills to her vendors. She will only quit if she is forced
to quit because she is one of the most hated women in America.
Captain Smash from Salt lake City- you are right on the money.
Obama and his supporters are just thugs trying to intimidate people into voting their way.
Hillary if you stop talking about how smart your husband is and what he did, maybe people would applaud you more. You spend the majority of your time talking about nothing and Bill. We the American people needs to know what you are going to do, not Bill.
We never hear Obama complaining about being attacked, and when he does do the attacking its for a good honest reason, Hillary only does it to divide the democratic party. Im starting to think she is a republican in disguise trying to sabotage our party, and she is doing a good job of it!!!!
Obama Richardson 08!!!!
Why does CNN.com publish 90% pro-Obama comments? Are you trying to influence the voters? Is this the moderators' personal bias? Or are Obama supporters college kids supported by mom and dad with too much time on their hands, so they simply blog pro-obama drivel all day long?
This is wonderful reporting– not. Obama what did you promise the media for this story- I'm sick of the media Obama fest- maybe the people in PA are bitter idiots who can't figure out the real issues as Obama stated in SF, but I'm hoping that the people who continue to support him in PA are in the minority.
Poor Hillary..........not only does she make mistakes or mistatements, by she responds in error.
anyone who makes upwards of 109 million would be, in my book, elitist material. How can anyone in this tax bracket possibly know the first thing about the working stiff population of the US ?? She says one thing and then, I bet, laughs and calls us all losers behind our backs.
Last nights forum was just more of her rhetoric....... never a direct answer to what was asked. When Barack finally came on stage, it was refreshing to hear someone actually answering a question !!!
people must finally be getting tired of the lies. Good for them! Get back to the issues Sen Clinton.
I'm glad some people get what Obama's message was. For the rest of you who don't, you probably never will. You're so used to being lied to that when someone speaks the truth, you don't understand the message. Like reading the words on a page, but not comprehending what it says.
So sad that people act that way to a good and true American.
Obama and his supporters go too far to force people to vote for him.
You will lose in Nov.
I think the number of pro obama posts on this blog is enough to silence the few remaining Cltintonites who keep acting as if it's all the medias fault.
The Media didn't say Obama was out of touch and elitist, Hillary did.
The Media, didn't have her continue to push that issue Sunday night, Hillary did.
And the Media won't lose the Democratic nomination, Hillary will.
The handwriting is definitely on the wall.
You need a short bourbon to understand Bilarry
Common post the video Cnn...
CNN reporter mis-understood the boos......
CNN seems to say Haleluya, Amen to any false claims or accusations. Where is the investigative journalism in this campaign season? Aren't Americans who have lost their jobs to globalisation etc, frustrated? Does the media believe that either Hillary Clinton or John McCain is going to bring back those lost jobs to rural America? The role of the media is t o present the facts and not simple bless the sweet promises made by the presidential candidates.
It is time the truth is honoured in our society and not unfulfillable promises.
This is firing back at CLINTON!!!!!!!
Not a real good strategy
Hillary Clinton has lie the the Union Workers China has been paying off the Clinton for over 16 years why would they stop China now? You have to ask yourselft that question?
I dont trust them. I know for a fact that they lie, lie, and lie
She is pro-free trade. Period.
See, the initial commentary from CNN was correct - and this is what you get for making an issue out of something that is not - BACKLASH.
Trying to pin 'elitist' on Obama is SO Swiftboatesque. Does Clinton really think that Democrats have that short of a memory, or are that stupid?
Why has CNN failed to publicize Clinton's non-response to questions that Bill Clinton was paid $800K by Columbia? That is, surely, as newsworthy as this ridiculous focus on our being bitter. I am bitter as hell and Obama has read me correctly!
Sorry Hillary, but I who strongly believe I've been in the silent majority for over 50 years. Feel as most Americans like nobody is listening to us and our democracy is dimishing. Barrack Obama can be the All American to lead us to the united country we've fought for all our lives.
Obama's comments may have been ill advised, but Hilary calling anybody "elitist" is just hilarious.
Hillary feels Obama is an elitist because he will not stoop to her level.
Next time Hillary should duck. I'm sure someoenin the audience was a sniper.
II guess Obama supporters stayed after seeing their candidate to heckle Hilliary. They need not waste their time Obama is doing a good job shooting himself in the foot.
Obama is not wanted by everyone. Half of this County does not want him. PA will pay the price if they vote him in. If not in the primary for sure in the general election.
I'm proud of the crowd that jeered our "lady of the pantsuits".
For a fun video poking fun at both Clinton and Obama got to "23/6". They have a very cute parody of them.
one time too many Hillary. This may be the scene where we all cock our heads back and laugh. Jokes on you this time
Who are we voting for? Hiliary or Bill?
Obama thinks that he is America's pimp. He can slap America around any way he wants to, an America will stay true to him.
WOW! The talking are speaking. At Clinton's own events, her attendance want her to stop attacking. Maybe she should listen to the people she claims to want to help....just a thought. They want to hear what you will do if elected. Because saying that the opponent is elist when you obviously have more money and have lived a better life overall then him is comical!
Take a page out of Obama's book, don't talk about Bosnia misstatements, Penn, or Clinton 800K. Just a thought.
It is about time some one told this witch to shut up the pennsylvanian people are frustrated for the last two decades. No body is going to fooled by hillary or the clintons this time Clinton and Bush Era is over.
Ha, when you set out to lay a trap for your opponent, be careful that you don't fall into it yourself. Oops!
people want to hear about the issues, they are tired of politicians winning because they were successfull in tearing the other candidate down...It's the economy stupid, plain and simple.
Can Barack say he is a candidate for change while Hillary Clinton is a typical politician in 2008, but in 2005, ask her to campaign for him and help raise money for him?
YES HE CAN! Obama asked for Hillary’s support and got it. She was a helpful factor in his election in Illinois.
This story is exxagerated! I had seen the video of the speech and I was expecting to see/hear an uproar yet I heard very little!
This story is misleading. CNN-please show the video so people can hear the crowds reaction and then they will see that it is NOTHING compared to how this story was written!
Good, I'm glad the audience jeered at her, she deserves it. Her performance in this election has been horrible. She needs to go count her millions and leave decent people alone.
Obama 08
The media is complicit in trying to tarnish Obama
Bush is secretive, he lies, spins and changes the subject and is not prone to admitting mistakes. He mishandles money and people. How is Miss Hillary different? I was bitter before, but after hearing her attacks on Obama when she's the darling of Pennsylvania, I'm hopeless now. I'm glad to read here that people aren't buying her act.
Finally they are waking up people are getting tired of the he say she say stuff,get real start talking about what you are going to do to keep all the jobs from going to other countries,my daughter worked for the avon corp and guess what they have outsourced the call center to India and she had to go to india to train them,people are losing their homes as we speak talk about that and get of his back if you want to be a leader, buts as your husband said at 11pm you are tired and cant think straight what will at 3am.?Stop the games it time to either show up or shut up.
Can Barack claim to be sick of politician’s making false claims and promises, while making false claims and promises?
YES HE CAN! If Hilary Clinton is a typical Washington politician, why was he asking for her support, money, help, etc.?
I'm sure the "boos" as you report were set up by Obama and his dirty dealings. Funny, only CNN is reporting this. CNN...enough said...highly suspect as a news org. to most intelligent Americans nowadays. Report anything to distract from Obama's arrogance. Wake up media and Obama supporters...He is going to LOSE in November if he gets the nomination!
Still can't figure out what was untrue or false about what Barack said. It's just like most American's not to like what we see when we are shown ourselves in a mirror that reflects what truly is before someone is able to cover it up with falsehoods.
It's good to have a candidate tell America exactly what it needs to hear. It appears to me that his rivals are a little 'bitter' that they didn't expound on this issue first.
New Poll: Hillary down by 5 points in PA
To DM, Detroit, Mi.
I agree with you 100%. The Obama lovers cannot take what the Clinton lovers have to say. OK here is one for you Obama lovers. If it will not be "HILLARY 08" then it will be 'MCCAIN 08". Take that to the bank.
Elitist my eye, the only elitist in this race are the two people who think Americans are so stupid that they wouldn't see through their lies. We have had enough of the Clintons and it's time for them to exit stage right.
She should be banned from Barack's inaugural.
Obama 08
I am an Obama supporter, but I am getting tired of the Democrats attacking one another. It's time to attack the Republicans so we can get them out of the White House. The media is having a field day. Every week, it's yet another over-blow story. Besides, if Hillary would run the country like she has run her campaign, we would be in big trouble.
Some say they are so outraged (but not bitter) because Obama told the truth. Welllll I say VOTE FOR hillary and when the jobs go overseas I want to see the happy people of PA again.....
Mack, seriously, if you're going to contribute, can't you actually be productive and not outlandishly racist? Or are you representing all those small-towners the way Mrs. Clinton does?
obama down 20 points in the latest PA polls.....why doesn't CNN post this??
Bitter? Why would we be bitter? Maybe because the bankers who offered predatory loans are now "retiring" with multi-million dollar packages? Maybe because we are struggling to pay our mortgages while the banks get bailed out by DC? Maybe because our jobs have been shipped overseas, some by Bill Clinton. Yes, we are bitter, and there is nothing "elitist" about speaking the truth!
So Obama's number 1 backer Oprah Winfrey, who is worth more than a billion dollars and rising, is actually in touch with the common people?
Liar, liar, pantsuit on fire.
Obama 08
After the statements Hillary made about Gore and Kerry last night , i look for her to get run completely out of the Democratic party. Her best shot now is getting on McCains ticket.
If Hillary was a patriot, she'd drink American whiskey. I bet NAFTA was a giant conspiracy with the sole purpose of getting her Canadian whiskey on the cheap. Shame on you.
How can Sen. Clinton and Sen. McCain call Sen Obama an elitist when they are the ones who has made millions of dollars.
They need to get the sticks out their butts and come down to reality.
Because they are not one paycheck away from living on the streets they have no idea how the average american feels.
Sen Obama is just speaking what needs to be said, and not what he feels rich people feel is right.
We don't need another Bush like or another Clinton in the White House. It is time for President that has nothing to do with these families or the way they feel.
Pennsylvania voters need to vote by big numbers for Hillary Clinton, because Obama can not win the general election. He will lose all of the south and the border states, all the normal red states, Michigan for sure as a result of his lawyer holding up a revote and one or both Ohio and Pennsylvania. He may even lose California as they have a Republican Gov. and McCain has support in the hispanic community. Last but not least the Obama supporters need to stop driving off the Clinton supporters. A poll about two weeks ago had the figure at 28% the number of Clinton voters that stated they would never vote for Obama and today that number has increased to 33% of the Clinton voters.
hahahahahah runn hillary run its time to run for cover!! lol this is hiliarious!!
The biggest phony on the planet wants to be president. She stayed with that lying Bubba so he could help her be president.
Well, Hillary, it won't work, Bill will have to buy you a fake fur coat to make amends for his affair. It will go with your fake personality.
Obama 08
Also, those who jeered Hillary Clinton were Obama supporters, who were rude and elitists themselves because they think those who did not "truly" understand Obama's "bitter" remarks were undereducated.
HRC has beat this into the ground, it's her fault for harping on it.Obama's comments were a little over the top, though. You all really believe if the PA economy was better, no one would be going to church or hunting? Some people actually believe in God and enjoy hunting the great outdoors, you know.
Guess the Obamabots are stacking her events now. They are such a cool bunch. He's toast.
Go Hilary!
Don't let Obama buy this election!
- BREAKING NEWS-
McCain to choose Hillary as his running mate.She has done so much for the republican party. There's no better choice.
But Obama will be elected President od the USA
I don^t understand why people are attacking the Clintons for making money while accepting Obama to tell the "rich" peolpe the case of "bitter small village people " to get more money...
Much to Hillary’s dismay, voters are proving to be intelligent, and that will be the death of her campaign.
I saw the video on .......umm , on another News Media website. We will try to get it on You Tube and then I-Report it to CNN if they want it. It's funny. You should see it.
I don't know what's worse..watching hillary or two girls one cup
We should ask John McCain if he is willing to take Barack as VP.
I am laughing so hard, I can't breathe! Hillary only gets what she deserves! OBAMA '08!
Obama got caught behind closed doors with (his base) the rich and wealthy.
Don't trust the man too errogant, cocky and unexperienced!
Hillary all the way!
Let's face it. This is a high school popularity contest and the high school kids are lifting Obama to be president.
Last week CNN made a huge deal about an ARG poll showing Clinton and Obama tied in PA. ARG released another poll today (post Obama's bitter comment) showing Clinton with a 20 point lead in PA. Why no mention of that CNN?
Run her over with a political Mack truck–vote for Barack.
Obama 08
Hillary is a republican !
I guess the Clintons will be moving Bill's office out of Harlem, now. LOL
California girl,
Take your meds, and go surfing.
Oh sure jeers and cheers all sound alike to boma people. they only know how to make one noise. Sad buch of koolaid junkies.
I don't think Obama's remarks were elitest or to far from the truth. I live in central Illinois and I see it everywhere. It is refreshing to finally have a political leader who talks to us like adults and not in sound bytes.
Hillary is down 10 points in today's gallup poll nationally.
About time she was boo'ed!!!
I'm sure these were Obama's supporters planted in
Hillary thinks she can get people to believe anything, if she just keeps repeating it over and over. This didn't work very well with the Bosnia story, but she isn't about to change her ways.
P.S. What could be more truly "elitist" than encouraging the 800 Democratic superdelegates to overturn the majority preference of tens of millions of American voters?
So she is fighting China, what about the MONEY she and her husband are TAKING from China??? The same companies that bash free rights and push for trade are FINANCING the Clintons. Same as Columbia and the pharmaceutical companies have them in their pocket.
I hope every voter in PA understand that the Clintons will do and say anything to win. One hundred million dollars in income and still they want more... Please vote next week like your life depends on it.... it does.
People may be poor, but they are smart to understand your tactics
Go home Hillary, you are hurting the party...
Because one poll is not sufficient, Mr. Matt! Give me more references than just one, do an overall calculation and then it will give you an idea of how much Clinton has the lead! I'm sure she has the lead, but maybe not of 20 points....
Shame on you, Hillary Clinton. If you want to have a debate, let's have a debate. I'll see you in Penn.
Matt...get a life
The face that has united Democrats and Republicans.
LOL, she'll raise a lot of money for Barack this month.
Obama 08
About time people stand up to the clinton liar machine............
stand up stand up get up stand up for the truth,
Despite all the baggage Hillary carries, Obama really does make her look much more electable than himself.
One thing is for sure: if the Dems nominate Obama over Hillary, they have no chance of winning the White House over McCain. NONE.
funny how Obama has been trying to portray Hillary as an elitist all along and now it has been proven that it is he that is the elistist. figures. If you call others names first, maybe people won't pay attention to the fact that you are a worse one yourself. Obamas elitist, bigot remarks are coming home to roost Obama supporters.
For a strong, independent woman, old Hillary seems very dependent on her husband, always dragging him in to the campaign conversation when convenient to her cause. Then banishing him when the conflict of interest factor comes up.
I am "bitter" at the prospect of a third time for that dysfunctional duo.
Obama's mother was on food stamps. His father left him when he was young and they were flat broke all his youth. He went to good schools on hard-earned scholarships. He and his wife were poor until recently. How is he an elitist? What Hillary's has done or say to get votes is beyound me.
Your comment is awaiting moderation.
That's funny Cnn - I read a New York Times article that described the same instance differently. Do you think you could do some reporting with integrity sometime soon? You are becoming more disgusting than politics itself!
Capt. Smash's comment is right on target. I truly feel that the Clintons will do and say whatever it takes to win this nomination...no matter what the cost will be. I'd like to know who placed the "spy" at Obama's private fund raiser in SF. People in this country are fed up, and bitter. If you haven't noticed this, just take a few minutes to observe. Obama is in touch with what is real. There's no doubt in my mind that Sen. Obama will win the general election by a land slide.
The only groans are from CNN people in the room who are crying because their chosen one is FINALLY being covered the way he should be and being held ACCOUNTABLE FOR HIS OWN ACTIONS!
Good. Hillary thought she would waltz into Pennsylvania and Depend on
a designer pantsuit and voter amnesia on NAFTA to pull the wool over
our eyes like she did the voters of Ohio. Not only do we remember NAFTA, but also who is responsible for it. Hillary is a phony!
Obama 08.
Maybe they were groaning about Obama's attacking of Hillary earlier.
John McCain Pres /Hillary Clinton v.p. on Republican ticket dont that sound sweet ?
Put a silver spoon in her mouth, and shut her up. Enough.
Barack 08
I want to thank Hillary for showing us the truth. Without her we could not digest Obama's remarks ourselves. I'm sure glad I have Hillary there to tell me what Obama meant by his comments. Obama now has my vote and my family's vote.
Pa Demo.
Oh so Gene dodging sniper fire and lying through her teeth about it more than 3 times makes Hillary electable?. Please!!!
Obama's supporters call themselves "intellegent". Someone should tell them how the word intelligent is spelled. Almost 25% of the comments on this site favoring Obama contain spelling mistakes. That really says something!!
Hillary is down 10 points in the national gallup polls. She fell two more points since her attacks on Obama.
Put a silver spoon in her mouth and shut her up–enough.
Obama 08
good afternoon fellow dems. I just watched a great movie reg our wonderful clinton..its long (about an hr) but wel worth watching our senator at work... please watch, will show u just how great she is (NOT)
go obama
http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=8464923602139974671
Obama supporters are always so negative, I guess the politics of hope is not something they really believe in
If you so called Barac lovers love him so much then get this fact straight he is not going to win with an attiutude he and his family have and the stupid mantra "CHNAGE" he is talking to the people of this country who gets fooled repeatedly
I am delighted to see that people are analyizing and evaluating the candidates on their own rather than accepting as truth the bombarding news snippets and political analysts' comments that continue to promote the negative attack politics being levied by Hillary Clinton and her campaign against Barack Obama. Enough already! We don't need to keep hearing the same thing over and over. The public is not stupid, and it would be really nice if the news media would recognize that and elevate their news to a more intelligent level.
Bored, tired, bored, tired....will November 2008 hurry up and get here already?
What I don't understand, is why this "bitter" comment is an issue. I think "Bitter" is probably a pretty good and accurate description and the people that have lost their jobs to overseas markets while the government has just created more incentive for companies to do this have every right to be bitter.
I hate Hillary R. Clinton.
I hope Pennsylvania show Hillary the door by giving Obama a win.
This is all Billary has left. Cling to and go on and on about an off the cuff comment that did not have all this drama in it to begin with. Goodbye Hill-billy
Shame on ya Hillary......................
Wow, so now Obama supporters are showing up at her events just to boo her. It's a sad state of things when Democrats boo each other. Thanks Obama supporters, for making November a cake walk for Joh McCain.
Who cares what labor did. Watch what the voters do. They will cling to Clinton.
is she finally getting the message they want to hear what she might do for them instead of TO them...
Pittsburgher's were booing because of her ugly clothes.
Go ahead Hillary. Rip your party to shreds. If your plan is to help McCain win and then run in 4 years..your plan is as flawed as your campaign. Your name will be mud and this country will be ruined and broke in 4 years.
thanks CNN for not publishing any of my comments for the last 2 weeks.
freedom of speech!
a Hillary supporter
I thought Hillary was campaigning on cleaning up after Bush. Now she has to clean up after BILL
Maddie... oh the bright one. Are you saying we are ignorant and uneducated? Get a life. Millions of people donated to his campaign and support him. Not just special interests and lobbyists. Did I make a spelling mistake? forgive me, I only have an MBA from GW.
I love PA , I think they will end Hillary's misery once and for all.
Go PA!
If some people were the support of Obama, what the heck were they doing at HillyBilly's nonsensical event? I wouldn't waste a single second listening to her "God, I deserve to be the President by any means" remarks.
How many common people that Hillary now "identifies with" can lend themselve 5 million? Who is the real elitist? New Hampshire gave us the shot heard round the world while Indiana has now given us the shot seen round the world. Now the electorate needs their shot.
Go Pittsburgh! Even though I'm from elitist California, I'm now considering rooting for the Steelers!
Folks, since the Clinton's wont release Foundation Donor list, and the Clinton Library Donor lists....bet you my pay check...that CHINA is there. Just as LA TIMES reported this weekend.
New poll has Hillary up by 20 points in PA over Obama. Obama will lose this state because of his arrogance. Let this be a lesson to Obama better now than in the fall.
Did they jeer Obama when he attacked Hillary!!
If not shows how stupid they are!!!
I am so proud of the people of PA. Apparently, they have seen the light and realize that this is Hillary's last stand. The people of PA have made my day! How can the Clinton's, who've made millions, be in touch with the regular working people of PA? I am also proud that Barack fought back! We need to stand behind Barack, for if McCain wins, we will all be responsible for an endless war.
Watch out Obama! Hillary is so bitter that you will be the nominee and the next president of the US that she is now making up a new tale about her father teaching her how to shoot. It can be a threat. After some beers and whiskey she may take herself for Annie and get her Gun"
It is funny everytime Obama done something wrong and he is under fire his supporters jumping out to ask for discussion about issues, the problem is there is never issue talked about by Obama's Campaign. Every time Clinton lays out a proposal he will make a copy and post one as well, he doesn't ever bother to change those numbers. When Clinton starts attacking China Obama followed as well. How do you expect he brings hope and chang and new politics? Wake up and think, people.
this is so great. Looks like Pennsylvanians are too smart to be fooled by Hillary Clinton.
Hillary doesnt know p[olitics,when you see your opponent sinking,do not intervene let him die.When you intervene people turn on you.Hillary by continuing this remark she will find herself more disliked
Wait a sec, this wasn't even bad about Obama, it's obviously an Obama crowd. I bet his campaign paid people to be there and do that to get votes.
IT PROVES OBAMA WILL DO AND SPEND ANYTHING TO WIN THIS ELECTION. HE CAN'T BUY THIS ELECTION.
WAKE UP AMERICA!!!!
HILLARY 08
The Clinton campaign later said the disgruntled reaction came to Clinton's remarks came from Obama supporters in attendance.
I've heard that Obamabots are a rowdy and unruly bunch.
hillary s dirty tactics are starting to catche up with her. how does a
person know when she is lying or when she is being honest?
most people can tell when they are lied to.
About time an audiance responded to her viscious attacks with a well deserved Jeer. I only wish I was there.
CNN you are a joke.
You have been promoting Obama and protecting him, you are almost as bad as MSMBC if that's possible.
The truth is 91% of Black people are voting for Obama because he's Black and 44% of Whites are voting for him because thet think it's the right thing to do. All of these people have no idea about any of his accomplishments if any, pathetic.
Everytime Obama says something controversial the Media covers it for him. If Clinton or McCaian said or did half the things Obama has they would be finished in politics.
We have learned lots of things about Obama after Super Tuesday, I think the outcome would be a lot different.
When I hear Obama and his Wife talk, they sound more and more like Pastor Wright.
Is this the Person you want in the White House, I think not.
I just hope the Super Delegates exercise the proper judgement.
Obama is not electable, we will have 4 more years of Bush.
This whole thing about economy being good in the Clinton years and they will repeat itself... when will people realize that this economic boom came from the technological revolution, namely the internet, not from any sitting president
Come on CNN Obama just spoke right before and he hammered Clinton I watched it and the Obama fan cheered him on look at the latest Penn polls that CNN mentioned this morning Clinton 58 to Obama 38 .Again bias coverage by news media !!!!
Get her the hell out of there!!!!!! Other countries are laughing at
us again. Hillary is one of the most hated women in America.
If I was Bill, I would have wanted a divorce in 1998, 1999, 2000,
2008-2008. Hillary is about to lose EVERYTHING. She can't
quit though, because she would be $20 Million in debt to her
Campaign and she would have to pay from her and Bill's 109 M.
the got from selling us down the river. She might just not pay
the vendors that are trying hard to make end meet.
"Bitter" feeling is not contained to just PA, IND AND S.C.. Bitter
is not a bad word. If it was, we would be considered bad people
for "feeling it"
I really don't care about the 20% in PA, she's not up by 20% in the USA.
Barack, 08
barack is very clever he has america conthemplating electing him president? it will never happen? the american public can see right through his antic's reasons why (unpatriotic wife) (preacher that preaches hate toward white people)(bad business deals? but only if your caught ?like the land and the cheap house escapade there's a few but you get where i'm coming from go ahead america waste your vote it's your right.
Of course she would say that it was Obama supporters! Hillary is so desperate and divisive!
No Hillary these are even your supporters who are tired of hearing you say Obama's name instead of sticking to the issues, you idiot
. . . .NAFTA. . BOSNIA. . .JOB LOSS. . . .COLUMBIAN TRADE DEAL. . . . IMPEACHMENT . . .SCANDAL . . . .BITTER . . . . CHANGE.
Yes We Can.
OBAMA IS A LIAR AND UNTRUTHFUL POLITIAN. HE WILL DO WHATEVER IT TAKES TO WIN THE NOMINATION. BUT OBAMA WILL LOOSE TO MCCAIN IN GENERAL ELECTION. THEY REGRET LETTING THEM FOOL BY OBAMA.
I grew up in Pittsburgh. I remember the days when you were some one big (in my poor blue collar neighborhood) if you were union AND you were lucky enough to work at the steelmills.
The people I grew up with ARE bitter. NAFTA screwed the economy there and Bill Clinton was the president who signed NAFTA into law. Yes the republicans love NAFTA, but Bill and Hillary (since you claim so much credit for being a co-president) are responsible.
But then I think we're also bitter that we didn't have a lake cottage or heat in August as well....
I don't understand how the people can go along with such a flop with Hilary and jeer about their own misery and misfortunes .
They know that they are been bitter and angry, and yet choose to jeer with someone that is continnuing to look down on them and telling them that they should be proud to be broke and NOT angry or BITTER.
Help is on the way says Hilary, who made $109 million, I think I will share some of my fortune with the Pennsylvanian and all will l be well.
I will continue to tell them my Bosnia Sniper Fire episode, and well, maybe, they will buy it. Or maybe they will be very PROUD of me.
I will go to thse rural areas of Pennsylvania , who are very proud of been broke and give them some of the millions I made.
TELL ME WHO IS LOOKING DOWN ON YOU PEOPLE?
WAKE UP PEOPLE.
HOW LONG CAN THEY USED MIND CONTROL ON YOUR POOR SOULS.
Obama always has some ignorant hecklers at the Clinton stops. I witnessed it myself in Texas at a Bill Clinton function. Bil shut them up quick and we never heard another peep.
Ignorant, pompous, and cowardly....just like their candidate.
HILLARY 08 OR MCCAIN.
I think the DNC likes the fighting because they can make more money for their organization.
Hillary is a hoot, but she is still unelectable. She seems to be the only one who doesnt' know that.
Obama 08
Oboy!!! This is rich. I hope she gets the surprise of her life on 4/22. Imagine McCain (The beer heir's husband) and Clinton (Queen of Chappaqua) calling Barack Obama elitist. These people have some nerve.
Everybody knows Hillary was born with a silver spoon in her mouth just like GWB, and I ain't mad at her. But she has a very weak argument on whose elitist.
Hillary Clinton is up 20 points now in the latest Penn. poll.
The bitter people are uniting it sounds like! God and guns forever!
Obama sounds like another Walter Mondale candidate to me.
Senator Barack Oboma is nothing more than a devil in a pin-stripped suit with his pretty speeches and phony promises. He did nothing to help his people in south Chicago (other than use hard-working Americans' tax money for handouts) and he will do nothing to help the average American family and this country's problems.
It would be unwise to vote for such a big-windbag who tells so many lies, three million and counting. He has to bribe young people to work on his campaign. What a fraud.
Obama's starting to sound like his reverend... Do we want someone like that running the country?!?!
HILLARY OR MCCAIN FOR PRESIDENT
Hillary get over it. Stop twisting Barrack's words to gain public sympathy. You simply pathetic in bringing down a Democratic. If you can't get into that White House, you dam well making sure Barrack stay out. You are simply looking out for your selfish greed.
What's wrong peple? He can attack Hillary and nobody says nothing, she attacks him back and everybody jeers. Give me a break!
The real tragedy is the people that are being fooled by Obama. He certainly didn't look presidential the way he heckle HIllary. He looked like a little rookie punk that he is. I will vote for McCain before I vote for Obama.
Dennis, . . .Don't tell us why we are voting for Senator Obama.
Obama spoke the truth. The people appreciate that. Hillary should try it sometime.
How dare you attack our american idol hillary?
Obama supporters better beware, their golden candidate is starting to tarnish a bit . . . must not be real gold.
HRC 08
Obama has it right, I am in Missouri and I am very bitter
people should jeer her right out of the democratic campaign
well in every plant you have your Obama Cult followers.
a warren Jeffs situaiton.
you could give them evidence and place in on their eyeballs but they still make the fault that of someone else........go figure
Obama is peeling himself to the real Obama. It is just matter of time.
Obama supporters are also very bitter.
