The Clinton campaign today released an ad hitting Barack Obama over comments he made about small town voters who "get bitter [and] cling to guns or religion or antipathy to people who aren't like them or anti-immigrant sentiment or anti-trade sentiment as a way to explain their frustrations."

In the new 30-second spot, "Pennsylvania," an announcer references Obama's comments. A woman says, "I was very insulted by Barack Obama." A man then calls him "out of touch."
