Obama can Make this Story go Away on Wednesday
There is a debate in Philly on Wednesday on ABC and I'm sure questions about his comments will come up. I think this will give Obama a chance to adress probably a huge audience of at least ten million people. Obama will be prepared to handle whatever they throw at him and I am confident that this story willl go away after Wednesday and his true message will reign over this nonsense.

1. He should just repeat, verbatim, what he said in his stump speech.

24. Yep, its media hyped
And its also being hyped by the Clinton campaign. Why? Because both have their agendas.

The way he should answer this, in my opinion, is to play to the strength of what he actually said, and slam Hillary and the media at the same time.

Something like;
"The voters I was referring to know only too well what I meant. In fact, anyone without an agenda can understand, perfectly well, that I was speaking to the bitterness that is born out of the frustration that ordinary, working Americans are feeling."

15. Yep. I hope he is as sick of this as I am.
Colombia, and NAFTA. He doesn't have to even go to the sniper fire.

But, I wonder if Obama had made the sniper lie, if he had been tied to union-busting free trade, if he had used the like of Norquist and Drudge to get his message out---what the M$M response and the Hillary Defender reaction would have been.

He has been too kind, it's gone on long enough. He should hit hard in the debate.

5. Hillary will mention a lame "Xerox"-type line, anyway.
It'll make her look foolish and will dominate the news cycle again.

He was just speaking truth about the powerless.

19. But people will see the truth in what he said if they keep playing it, right?
This has to be a positive for him to get his views out there.

20. Playing what? "Clinton says Obama looks down on the working class"
Over and over. No real truth on the speech or Obama rebuttal.

22. Thay are not playing this?- and it is not surprising that they cling to guns and religion
antipathy to people who aren't like them, or anti-immigrant or anti-trade as a way to explain their frustration.'

12. Why go away?! It is helping him in the long term!
People are now going to note more about Clinton's riches and ties to Columbia and other nations. Etc...

This is good long term.

17. Or Maybe you would rather talk about this Hillary?
Clinton Got Money From Rezko Co-Defendents

The vetting of the Clinton's is just beginning. This was a risky strategy by the Clinton's in the first place, because the boomerang effect will expose much more of their shenanigans to the American people....

...Since the name of Chicago defendant Antoin 'Tony' Rezko has come up in national debate, it seems fair to look at donations from other defendants in Chicago's "Operation Board Games."

Of the other five defendants, three have donated to the Clintons or to Clinton supporters, three have donated mostly to Republicans, and at least two have donated to Obama's political opponents. None have
donated to Obama.
