I had hoped Obama would prove better than this...

[misanthrope]

...Thanks Senator Obama for committing one of the dumbest political gaffes I've ever witnessed. If this is any indication of your caginess, you're not adroit enough for the gravity of this race.

How could anyone be this obtuse?!

So, now our choices are between a guy not smart enough to keep his foot out of his mouth in a race where he had a firm lead, the abrasive, corporate puppet spouse of a DINO president and the third term of the neo-con agenda.

What's that flushing sound I hear? Oh, yeah, it's the nation going right down the toilet.

[Nitrogenica]

1. I hear you, but I don't think we need to panic yet. Barack defends himself rather well.

[anonymous171]

2. lol. Listen to his response. He turned it around. It's not damage control any more.

It's now "Hillary and McCain are woefully ignorant of the State of the Nation and of the plight of working people."

[Cha]

3. Get your head outta your

sandbox..you're the one who's lookin' mighty stupid right now.

[ProSense]

5. You sound bitter. NT

[MadBadger]

6. I smell a disenfranchised Kucinich supporter.

[K Gardner]

7. You're going to be really embarassed when you actually catch up on the news and stop

the faux panic/outrage.

[Tunkamerica]

8. what are you talking about?

I'm bitter and I know there are people out there who have much more of a right to be bitter about being ignored by Washington. Aren't you? If not, don't you know people who are? If not, where the hell do you live? 'Cause I want to move there.

[scheming daemons]

9. If by "dumb political gaffe" you really mean "brilliant framing of the issue"... then I'm with ya!

Obama told the truth.


Americans tend to like that.... even if they are "shocked" initially.

[la la]

12. uh---

it's not playing well in PA---not according to my coal cracker friends.
( and that's not a put down---that's what we are---the descendants of miners and factory workers)

[scheming daemons]

13. Uh..... I live in PA..... I know your friends....

...they were already voting for McCain.

[la la]

14. nope-

youse don't know my friends.

uppa u gigi--as we used to say!

:freak:

[scheming daemons]

15. Obama was talking about YOU when he said people will vote against their own interests....

..over stupid issues.

[la la]

17. how do you know who I'm voting for?

you don't

just for your edification, it won't be mccain.

( by the way- your bitterness is showing!)

[scheming daemons]

18. Yep... I'm bitter... just like most of PA.... and those people will respond to what Obama said..

...by voting for him.


Watch.

[Petrushka]

27. Make dat "Uppa yu giggi witta red-hot poker!" (eom)

BTW: :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

[Window]

24. Uh...they weren't going to vote for him anyway.

[la la]

19. he said too much---

from Reuters:

"You go into some of these small towns in Pennsylvania, and like a lot of small towns in the Midwest, the jobs have been gone now for 25 years and nothing's replaced them," Obama, an Illinois senator, said.

******************
obama should have stopped at this point....
****************

"And it's not surprising then they get bitter, they 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," he said.

*************************
BIG mistake.

[misanthrope]

28. BINGO!**nm

10. What Are You Talking About?

I'm confused - help me out.

[lander]

11. Your name is perfect! ...

mis'•an•thrope noun a person who dislikes humankind and avoids human society.

[FrenchieCat]

16. Yep....the hard working people of Penn would rather believe that all is ok, and

Vote their economic interest.....instead of the truth.

So well, we'll know who they'll be choosing; the real elitists! :shrug:

[Gore1FL]

20. Seems like your hopes were met

and then some.

[Algorem]

21. typical bitter gunclinger

[Mooney]

22. Hey, at least he doesn't have Bill Clinton stumping for him.

[Raine]

23. Thankfully Bill's dumb remarks have

over shadowed Obama's.

[Eurobabe]

25. Oh the SKY IS FALLING!!!

Get a grip. Suggest you read the transcript from CNN that says the whole Clinton spin thing is bullshit. Here's a video. Watch it.
