From CBS News' Maria Gavrliovic:

STEELTON, PA. -- In his harshest rhetoric yet, Barack Obama defended the comments he made at San Francisco fundraiser, admonishing Hillary Clinton for what he calls, playing politics.

"I expected this out of John McCain. But I've got to 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. She knows better, shame on her. Shame on her. She knows better!"

While speaking to union workers at labor gathering here, Obama mocked Clinton, calling her Annie Oakley.

"She's running around talking about how this is an insult to sportsmen, how she values the Second Amendment, she's talking like she's Annie Oakley!," Obama said.

"Hillary Clinton's out there like she's on the duck blind every Sunday. She's packin' a six shooter! Come on! She knows better. That's some politics being played by Hillary Clinton. I want to see that picture of her out there in the duck blinds."

Obama admitted, again, that he misspoke calling himself an "imperfect man" and that his words were subject to "being twisted." However he said that the suggestion that he is an elitist is part of "playing politics."

"When people try to suggest that I was demeaning those traditions, then it sounds like there's some politics being played."

OBAMA is standing in front of the camera himself for 52 seconds explaining how he will disarm the USA.

What we are talking about here IS NOT about politics and the differing
views concerning issues.....this is about the potential literal destruction of
this country by our enemies and our inability to defend ourselves against those
attacks.

This is a very short (52 seconds) video by Barak Obama in his own words
about how he plans to destroy our defense capabilities if elected.

by nanging3 April 16, 2008 5:17 PM EDT: FARRAHKAN IS FUNNELLING MONEY TO OBAMA...

Trip Rev. (Just Sound Bites Wright)
went on to Libya with Farrahkan...

Louis Farrakhan, the leader of the Nation of Islam, was seeking the United States
Government''''s permission to accept $1 billion from Col. Muammar el-Qaddafi of
Libya. The gift, Mr. Farrakhan said, would be used to mobilize American black
voters and bolster their economic strength. (and elect Obama ?); Reply to this comment


by txkang April 14, 2008 2:52 PM EDT: Why does Obama get a free pass on all his mispoken words?? He''s suppose to be so brilliant, yet his remarks that are divisive and hurtful to those that do not agree with him sould be overlooked and forgiven over and over. Hillary is calling him on it. Good for her. I grow tired of CBS and the far far left media covering for Obama. It''s getting rediculous and American''s are not deaf or stupid, and we are not bitter just because we are not likeminded. We just don''t want to be a socialist country like Obama is "hoping" for.; Reply to this comment


by jockh April 14, 2008 1:33 PM EDT: So Obama is the one tagged with the elite label, all the while that Little Hillary chartered a private plane to avoid rubbing shoulders with the media (at least until she ran out of money). Her husband earned a cool $800,000 in future bribe money from pro-Colombian trade pacts lobbyists, half of which she can use for her campaign.

Instead of firing Mark Penn for double dipping with Colombia, she merely changes his title. And all the while, she attacks Obama for no being strong enough on trade issues. Worst of all, Howard Wolfson also takes Colombian trade money, leaving Hillary as the only individual in her entire campaign that seems to have missed out on free money.

But she is against the trade agreement. Honestly. Trust her. Really.; Reply to this comment


by jockh April 14, 2008 1:32 PM EDT: Obama recently paid back is school loans. Hillary turned $1000 into a magical $100,000 through illegal insider trading and is sitting on 109 million dollars. Obama worked the streets in poverty and crime ridden areas of Chicago, seeing first hand the hopeless and the damage they have suffered. Hillary''s family had a summer cottage where she spent her summers.

Instead of a Wall street firm (easy to do for a Harvard Law Review editor) Obama worked for a small local firm. With her husband as governor, Hillary worked for the Rose Firm, the biggest corporate firm in that region. Obama donated his time, Hillary sat on the Wallmart Board of Directors, making anti-union and anti-worker decisions. Obama writes books, Hillary hires others to write them for her.

It just begs the question: JUST WHO THE HELL IS ELITE HERE.; Reply to this comment


by craigh9 April 14, 2008 11:54 AM EDT: Everyone in America should ask themselves the following question - What is the larger character flaw?
Making a one time unfortunate choice of words when stating a point of view or outright lying multiple times in an attempt to make ones self look more important. I urge everyone to vote according to their answer to that question.; Reply to this comment


by jaybs3 April 14, 2008 8:39 AM EDT: At last Barack Obama comes out Fighting against the misleading statements and lies from Hillary in PA last night with a speech that made the hairs on your next stand up it was so moving and TRUTH!

Hillary may have been talking earlier about the Book of Esther, she wants to look at Proverbs, Lies & Vanity for Riches. The Clinton''s Bill, Hillary and Chelsea are more like a Sideshow than a presidential nomination campaign - Shame on You Hillary!; Reply to this comment


by jockh April 14, 2008 8:25 AM EDT: Hillarys problem is that voters know how easily the Clintons lie; and that both Hillary and Bill would lie on a stack of bibles.

Misspeaking is one thing, repeating something over and over makes it a FLAT LIE !!
The Clintons simply cannot help themselves; they tell a big lie when a small lie will do. And they tell a small lie when the truth will do. After careful training from Bill, Hillary can lie out of both sides of her mouth at the same time even when there''s no particular reason to.
Lets face it, it takes a bare faced liar to confuse a hug from a little girl in Bosnia with the terror of running from sniper bullets. Not convinced? Maybe you think she confused it with those other occasions she had to run from sniper fire !!!

If you are inclined to overlook Clinton lies just because Hillary is your favorite for nomination then please take a moment to look at the trouble the country is in because of the lies of President Bush: one million Iraqis and over 4000 American servicemen dead; that%u2019s right DEAD, all because of lies. So you see, the lies of a President really do matter. God help America if the world famous misspeaking Clintons get elected.; Reply to this comment


by arjun_nyc April 14, 2008 6:15 AM EDT: Whenevr Obama is caught doing his dirty act he shifts the focus on innocent people to deflect impact on him. Americans are not stupid.

No shame on Hillary. SHAME ON YOU OBAMA, THE SNAKE"

Withdraw now or implode before the convention!

You are not only an embarrasment on the Democratic Party but the whole country.; Reply to this comment


by catchsandy April 14, 2008 5:20 AM EDT: I am still unable to believe hillary can say these about her own party, "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 so many of our fellow Americans,"

Really shameful of her to do so!!! Her stupid statements might cost votes not only in presidential elections, but in congressional ones.; Reply to this comment
