New Clinton Ad Addresses Obama's "Bitter" Comments

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."

Then another woman says, "I'm not clinging to my faith out of frustration and bitterness. I find that my faith is very uplifting." A second man follows with this comment: "The good people of Pennsylvania deserve a lot better than what Barack Obama said."

The last two comments paint Clinton in a positive light – one woman says "Hillary does understand the citizens of Pennsylvania better," and another says "Hillary Clinton has been fighting for people like us her whole life." Watch it:

JOE SIX PACK? Talk about an elitist comment from her husband...''''If I were just a private citizen -- Joe Six-Pack,'''' President Clinton told Time magazine after Paula Jones''s lawsuit against him was dismissed by a judge in Little Rock, ''''I would have mixed feelings about not getting a chance to disprove these allegations in court.-New York Times (by William Safire,May 3,1998)......ouch that hurt my feelings Mr. Clinton...I drink champagne when I can afford it after pumping at the gas station.

Obama said those people are antipathy. Seems to me he''s the one who is really antipathy and ompletely lack of compassion. People are duped by some wealthy liberals in the america who love to destroy Clinton whatever way they could by propping up Obama. You don''t have to agree with people with faith and believe in 2nd amendment of constitution, but to show such contempt says loudly about the true color of this Obama character as well as his qualification as a statesman.

One candidate gets into trouble for telling tale tales.
The other gets into trouble for telling the truth.

Which one should we choose?

I wonder how man "White Men" got angry when Bill Clinton said this back in 1991 in the Sunday Los Angeles Times I quote:

%u201CYou know, he [Bush] wants to divide us over race. I%u2019m from the South. I understand this. This quota deal they%u2019re gonna pull in the next election is the same old scam they%u2019ve been pulling on us for decade after decade after decade. When their economic policies fail, when the country%u2019s coming apart rather than coming together, what do they do? They find the most economically insecure white men and scare the living daylights out of them. They know if they can keep us looking at each other across a racial divide, if I can look at Bobby Rush and think, Bobby wants my job, my promotion, then neither of us can look at George Bush and say, %u2018What happened to everybody%u2019s job? What happened to everybody%u2019s income? What %u2026 have %u2026 you %u2026 done %u2026 to %u2026 our %u2026 country?%u2019%u201D

Two things I learned from the Hillary Camp in the last 24 hours...

There really is such a thing as "going too far" when attacking your opponent.

And there is really is such a thing as wearing too much yellow.

I''m a native Pennsylvania hunter and a Christian and quite frankly, when you''re paying nearly $4/gal at the fuel pump, 30% more for groceries, can''t buy affordable health insurance, and witness the daily shift of America''s manufacturing might to China, it makes me (a) hunt more to escape the reality of massive political leadership failure, and (b) pray more becuase the country is going down the tubes. So, my question is: Who is really out of touch with America? I think Sen. Clinton is the one "out of touch", here.

Just my tho''t.

Did anyone happen to see the forum lastnight in PA?
If Hillary had not gone first Obama would have had trouble answering all of the questions instead of the half he struggled with.
The highlight had to be when he was asked about reducing the level of poverty that has been fairly consistent since the mid 60''s. Asked if he would commit to reducing poverty by a specific number within a specific time period, say reducing poverty by half in 10 years, Obama responded without hesitation indicating he would commit to reducing poverty by half in 10 years.
Obama is a classic empty suit writing checks he can''t cash.

"Clinton continues to label Barack Obama "out of touch" for saying that when people get economically crapped on by politicians and corporations, they get angry. From the confines of her mansions in Georgetown and Chappaqua, surveying her $110 million fortune and her long career as a corporate lawyer and Wal- Mart board member, Clinton expresses a "let them eat cake" attitude, apparently believing regular folks are totally happy when politicians like her champion policies like NAFTA that crush them." - From, Open Left

WHEN ASKED ABOUT HIS RELATIONSHIP WITH TONY REZKO DURING CNN DEBATE IN FEBRUARY, I AM CERTAIN OBAMA SAID HE ONLY DID 5 HOURS OF LEGAL WORK FOR REZKO, THAT''S IT. YOU LIED OBAMA! %u201CFollow the Money: The Obamas and Auchi attended party at Rezko%u2019s house%u201D

%u201CStar prosecution witness Stuart Levine testified April 14, 2008, in the federal fraud trial of indicted political fixer Antoin %u201CTony%u201D Rezko that Sen. Barack Obama (D-Ill.) and his wife, Michelle Obama, attended an April 2004 party held at Rezko%u2019s home in honor of Iraqi-British billionaire businessman Nadhmi Auchi, %uFFFDwho was visiting the United States at the time.%u2019

%u201DTo date, both Sen. Obama and Mr. Auchi have denied having met, although Sen. Obama has said it is possible that he dropped in at the Four Seasons reception dinner hosted by Illinois Gov. Rod Blagojevich.

%u201DBy the way, on April 7, 2008, RezkoWatch reported on Sen. Obama%u2019s claims that he barely knew Tony Rezko.%u201D

It appears to me that part of this ad was filmed at Dickinson College. Considering the cost of tuition at Dickinson, I find it extremely ironic that she would film an ad there that purports to show how "in touch" she is with the regular people.

Once again Hillary shows what she is all about - NEGATIVITY AND FEAR.
She is losing the race and the only thing she knows is old time politics - drag your opponent down to level lower than you to make your self look good, because god knows you do not have the ability to rise above them through your abilities. Hillary has made a mockery of her own campaign, she is making a mockery of the democratic nomination process, and is left unchecked will hand the Republicans 4 more years in the White House. NEWS FLASH - america, both big city and rural, are bitter - they are sick and tired of the status quo, of having politicans like Hillary say or do anything to get people to vote for them and once elected ignore them for another 3 years until the process starts again. You have misjudged the american people this time Hillary - your negativity and fear mongering is not going to work. Run your negative ads and make your negative speeches, and when it is all said and done Obama will run your backside out of the party inner circle forever!

It''s striking how all the gossip girl reporters can''t get enough of this third level BS "bitter" story. What are we at now - the fourth day of nonstop coverage?! Meanwhile, good luck trying to find any coverage of the Yoo memo that declared that the 4th Amendment doesn''t apply here at home during wartime; that Bush admitted he was involved in the high level frat boy discussions of what types of torture were acceptable; and the current AG lied about FISA and a supposed call "that could have prevented 9/11".

But really, it''s very very very important that we discuss Obama''s bitter comment, or John Edward''s haircut, or Clinton''s tears, or whether or not McCain''s family recipes were lifted from the Food Network.

So, who''s being condescending? Obama or the elite reporters who feed the people completely inconsequential and pointless political fluff because they think the public is too stupid to care about or understand anything else?

ARE THEY BITTER BECAUSE THEIR HAND OUTS ARE SMALLER? ARE THEY BITTER BECAUSE THEY DON''''T WANT TO FIGHT IN A WAR THAT IS SAVING THEIR FREEDOMS? ARE THEY BITTER BECAUSE NO DEMOCRAT HAS BEEN ABLE TO CONVINCE THEM THEY DESERVE MORE BUT HAVE TO PAY FOR IT, TOO? SURE, THEY ARE BITTER.

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.

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.

John McCain Should Go on Vacation, Hillary Clinton is Doing His Job for Him
By cynically twisting Obama''s comments about small town voters in a way that confirms every right-wing demagogic caricature of her own Party, Hillary Clinton has adopted the frames, lies, stereotypes and destructive clichis long embraced by the likes of Lee Atwater and Karl Rove. She has clearly decided that the road to victory runs through scorched earth. The question is, if she succeeds, what kind of Party will she be left to lead? She''s burning down the village to save it -- or to prove that she would make the best fire chief. But the village won''t be saved; only one house will be left standing. A house with room for just two occupants: Hill and Bill.

Hillary is grasping at any and every straw, because of the depth of her desperation.
I have this vision of Hillary tumbling down a cliff and grabbing the little tree stumps on her way down, hoping that one of them will stop the fall, and keep her from crashing%u2026.can you smell the desperation wafting from Camp Clinton?

They know they have to beat Obama by over 20 points to give themselves even the most remote chance of catching him in the rest of the few remaining primary states. So they mount another desperate ploy from their hanging by a fingernail campaign, but ultimately this is much ado about nothing. ? It may cost Obama a few votes in Pennsylvania and it looks likely that Clinton will have her last hurrah by winning that state, but unless the superdelegates have a death wish for their party, he will still win the nomination; and finally Hillary will go home and take her terrible pant suits with her.

As a gun owner and hunter, I have trouble welcoming pistol packing mama Hillary Clinton into the gun fraternity.

And, as someone who used to toss down more than his share of shots, I have even more trouble imagining an evening at the local bar tossing back shots and beer with the Democratic Presidential pretender.

Yet claims of a hunting heritage and downing shots of Crown Royal and chasing it with a beer is part of Clinton''s pathetic attempt to prove she''s just one of us.

Memo to Hillary: You ain''t one of us, especially not with 109 million dollars in the pockets of your solid gold pant suits; so drop the charade, you are looking like a fool. We''re not looking for one of us. We''re looking for a leader.

Besides, if the phone rings at the White House at 3 a.m. and Hillary is spreadeagled across the bed, passed out in an alcohol-induced stupor, no one is available to answer the phone.

Sen. Clinton has run an incompetent campaign, half truths, outright lies, imaginary heroism, take-no prisoners politics, a presidential spouse given to wallowing in anger and self-pity, and a succession of aides and surrogates pushed under the bus when things don%u2019t go right. Her campaign has failed spectacularly despite being the Partys obvious favorite from the beginning.

She knows she cannot win the pledged delegates or popular vote; and she knows superdelegates will not destroy the party by backing her, so she is simply hanging around with a begging bowl asking for the nomination in case Obama makes a fatal mistake.

What kind of a leader would prefer to win a Presidential Election on account of her opponents mistakes rather than her ability? How can Sen. Clinton manage the United States when she can%u2019t even run her own campaign.

Good for you, Hillary. Typical "Snob-ama", makes a %u201Cbitter%u201D mistake and then blames someone else (Hillary and/or McCain) and everybody wants this to stop!!! I am outraged and the protection of Mr. Teflon has to stop. Now even worse, he''s on the attack of the other Democrat in the race for calling him on his own elitism. Let me see, it was just last night that he condemned Hillary for attacking him, wasn%u2019t it? What a two-faced hypocrite and used her words too, %u201Cshame on you%u201D. Also folks, let us not forget folks where Obama''s money is coming from, in his battle for President. His bid for the Whitehouse is being bought and paid for just like Bush by the elitist. I thought Obama was supposed to be different? Of course, there are also the fundraisers on the web that represent the far left, (Huffington Post, Move-On, etc.) who are also collecting for him from their membership (2 Million plus members) for Obama. I used to support Move-On on some of their causes until they endorsed Obama. I know they are raising money for him because they continue to send me e-mails for donations for Obama. Wake-up America, you are being hoodwinked and now being called names as he looks down his nose at %u201CUS%u201D, by this arrogant and elitist jerk trying to buy his way into the Whitehouse!

AHSA is actually the latest in a long line of anti-gun groups camouflaging themselves as pro-hunting and pro-conservation in order to split our community. Before you give AHSA any creed %u2013 beware the wolf in sheep%u2019s clothing, and see for yourself:
