***This Video Of Obama Could End "Bittergate": How Can I Get In Contact With The Obama Campaign?***
Edited on Sat Apr-12-08 08:38 PM by malik flavors
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dJut4-dHuV8

Start watching at the 11 minute mark. Charlie brings up the book "What's Wrong With Kansas," and Obama basically says exactly what he said in San Fran last Sunday except he says it in a clear and understandable way that's inoffensive and perfectly explains what he meant.

This video from 2004 could honestly free him of any wrong doing.

Does anybody know how I can get in contact with somebody from the Obama campaign? They need to get this video out to the press, and in a hurry.

Any help?

Also, you guys can help by spreading this around, and if anybody has the skills to edit it stating at the 11 minute mark, that would be a great help as well.

Let's get this out there!

57. Wow, I've lived in SF my entire life....
and I've never heard of "Billionaires Row"?? Color me shocked! Seriously, I have never heard Pacific Height's referred to in that way by a local. :shrug:

Now you guys wouldn't want me to go digging up info on the multiple, high-end, private fundraisers Hillary has attended in the Bay Area, now, would you? :eyes:

I haven't seen any response though.

I'll post it at TPM too.

29. Is bitter sticking in North Carolina - HELL NO nor other states either see comments
over at MSNBC First Read. People ARE BITTER! And they recognize
Hillary's fake pandering.

Is Bitter Sticking in North Carolina?



But the issue doesn't seem to be sticking. Clinton himself has been silent on the issue. But at the first two events of the day, the campaign has sent one of Carolina's hometown boys out to push the issue before Clinton takes the stage. Tom Hendrickson, a Clinton supporter and former Democratic Party chairman, included a reading of Obama's comments in his introduction of Clinton.

"Senator Obama, don't pity us and think that we're bitter and frustrated," he said in Winterville this morning. "We are hard-working family folks who are smart, and we get it. We don't need pundits to tell us what to think."

Hendrickson repeated the sentiment at a later stop in Winston, but dropped the direct mention of Obama as the source of the quote.

In both instances, Hendrickson's speech evidenced little reaction from the crowd, which had been waiting for the main event for over an hour, and appeared to have little tolerance for a parade of surrogates.

By the third stop of the day in Goldsboro, Hendrickson did not even take the stage.

32. and this hard hitting comment from someone in Hermitage PA
Posted in the comments section of "IS Bitter Sticking in North Carolina":

Clinton's should drop this so called "Silver Bullet." They are so out of touch with the middle class. Yes the American people are hardworking, but that doesn't mean they aren't frustrated and upset that they have to work a lot harder for a lot less money with no pension because Mr. Clinton passed NAFTA and their good paying jobs of the pass are now overseas. I doubt Mr. Obama would deny the American people are hardworking. Obama worked as a community organizer helping layed off steel workers find work. I don't think I could get myself up every morning to do taht kind of work even as rewarding it is.

If you think the American people aren't in some way bitter that the agenda in Washington does not involve them then you must be out of touch with "small Town" America.

They see their jobs being shipped overseas as well as conglomerates like Wal-Mart shut down the very essence of "small-town" life. And one is to think the great American's who started their own "Mom and Pops" stores to help out their community and now see only jobs available that pay less and can never replace the dignity and pride once held by fulfilling the American Dream and becoming an entrepreneur are not bitter at all? I believe even Mitt Romney said "Washington is Broken."

The spin the media has put on this is ridiculous. I do agree that this may a little too honest to handle. But "six-pack" Joe's moment of fame only lies in an election season. That is when politicians care. They want his vote, and unfortunately he gives it to them. Politicians will say anything and do anything to get elected and many will do nothing for you when they are in office. But this is the agenda in Washington. Tell me how a great US President that did so much for the people can make over 110 million after leaving office and now talk about solutions for the economy. I think the theme should be "Solutions to hoodwink a bitter America."

Obama should hit these same themes on every stump from here on out. Yes we're bitter, and it's time that Washington worked for us, instead of against us.

let's hope if the media is really as concerned about this issue as they claim to be, we'll see this clip played on all the M$M. Unless of course, it was a cheap political stunt, then the media will be fair and play this in context.

I don't understand why Obama doesn't use this as defense to show that he wasn't talking behind closed doors at a closed to media, San Fran elite fundraiser. He said the same damn thing 4 years ago on a nationally televised talk show.
