1. Funny. I was told it was a one day story on Friday. Then I heard that it would

be over Sunday night and Obama's Annie Oakley punch would take it off the radar for good.

[jackson_dem]

4. This week will be hilarious at DU

This will really take off starting today, he will lose ground and then he will lose the debate that will be held in a couple of days. The denial, panic, and bitterness from Obamanation will be a treat--especially since they convinced themselves he was inevitable! :headbang:

12. Newspapers are blowing their load on monday because the papers weren't printed

by the time this stuff came up. Not a shock.

[TML]

2. Thanks for the Dennis Bonvie article

I forgot he was retiring.

[jackson_dem]

3. Great work, thanks for keeping us informed about how this is being covered

:thumbsup:

[BigBearJohn]

81. You too!

:hug:

[Tellurian]

84. Listen, I'm just as upset at Obama mocking the Former First Lady

who was the face of this country for 8 years. Who does Obama think he is mocking and degrading Sen Clinton, when SHE represented our country for eight years throughout the World? Obama is in effect mocking America and all the Americans she represented during her tenure in the White House!



DUMP the DIRTBAG!

[The Doctor.]

106. Really? Mocked? Let's see the quote.

I already know you have nothing. It's just amazing to me that people can be so deluded.

[LulaMay]

5. Great post. Thanks for all the wonderful pictures.

[BigBearJohn]

6. Glad you liked 'em!

7. I'm amazed that ANY DUers are falling for this manufactured outrage.

Hello? Has anyone been paying attention? When the M$M is so desperately turning mountains into molehills, they make it pretty apparent who the people's candidate is.

[johnnydrama]

8. they're not falling it

They just want their candidate to win.

[harun]

57. I agree, nobodies falling for this cr*p (n/t)

[rodeodance]

61. new poll: "56% of voters nationwide disagree with Obama’s controversial comment "

New polling data released this morning shows that 56% of voters nationwide disagree with Obama’s controversial comment that people in small towns “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."

[oasis]

67. Obama's "Dean's Scream". (eom)

[harun]

73. You wish (n/t)

[harun]

72. Interesting, I doubt many people even heard that statement

before the question was posed to them in the poll. The result is not surprising being worded that way. The meaning will be over the head of most people.

[oasis]

75. "Most people" yes, but the folks in rural PA will get a steady diet of "bitter".

;-)

[Jamastiene]

105. Even out here in the sticks,

we heard him LOUD and CLEAR. We are shit to him. I might not have been bitter toward him before, but he can BET I am now. He can also kiss my poor white trash ass for being such a snob.

[xmas74]

110. We white trash do stick together.

:pals:

I'm in Missouri and I've heard a few coworkers bitching about him, saying that they "take it (their vote) back".

People are really angry right now about those comments.

[cui bono]

78. And I'm sure the pollster gave them the entire context of what he was saying.

Too bad he didn't word it all better, but the sentiment was correct. He should have blamed the Republicans for creating the wedge issues of guns and religion. The people are being duped.

[screembloodymurder]

18. Me too.

Absolutely amazed. Wouldn't have anything to do with Hillary's new found friends, would it?

[rodeodance]

26. I loved the TOUR

[PoliticalAmazon]

29. Sadly, many Hillary supporters are corrupt as she is. Otherwise...

...they would be speaking out about this, and saying it is wrong.

We truly are a one-political party now, an oligarchy run by the elites, with one party of those who have no ethics, who will sit by silently while this is done, and then there is the rest of us.

The Hillary supporters who are not speaking out on this, remember what Sun Tzu said: "When you become like your enemy, your enemy has won."

[rodeodance]

34. I have seen BHO fans post RW sites--and smear photos of Hillary on gd-p-!

"When you become like your enemy, your enemy has won."

Have you seen the Obama is Jesus logos?? Disgusting!!

[rodeodance]

54. Yes,those Jesus avatars are blasphemous

[The Doctor.]

107. Let's see it. I won't hold my breath.

I guess when you support a liar, you have to become one, eh?

[oasis]

70. Blunders such as "Bittergate" underline the fact that Obama's not ready.

Many in the Hillary camp have been saying this all along.

[harun]

74. Speaking the truth is why he is superior to Clinton (n/t)

[CakeGrrl]

9. What are the odds that this will quell all the whining

about the MSM "helping" Obama?

In the meantime, we'll take the +3 newspaper endorsements (2 were PA - didn't they get the memo to stay on message?) and +2 Superdelegates Obama picked up this weekend.

Bring on the PA debate! Hillary, get yer gunz. Here comes NAFTA, Colombia, Mark Penn and your "elitist" projection.

ETA: Thanks to the OP for compiling all the links.

[mtnester]

10. I was wondering how it was playing on the local level

Thanks for taking the time to let everyone see

[ImpeechBush]

11. Wow, that was impressive, thanks very much

Fantastic survey, no matter who you support.

[JoFerret]

25. A lot of work, that's for sure

13. Colbert road trip tp Philly!

[1776Forever]

14. Doesn't it seem like this was planned? Was Fowler a plant?

Who paid her to write that crap!

Here is a post I made earlier on this:

Personally I think this Obama 'bitter" comment fiasco was all planned out. I think the Fowler person who blogged about this incident was following him and taping him so any little thing he said that they could latch onto could be used against him. After all think about it - The writer of the "bitter" comment was supposed to be an Obama supporter. If anyone was a supporter of any candidate why would they tape and remark about a private fund raiser and then try to make it such a big issue when everyone that is a true supporter knows that Obama is dedicated to the little guy and was explaining wedge issues that can come into their thinking when it comes to the government. I know people who haven't voted in years because of this and they are hard to reach! So I hope that KO will take a good look at Ms. Fowler and find out what was up with this since she wrote some very demeaning things before about Obama per her Huffington Post bio and then tried to say she was for him!!!!

and this about the Daily Kos site that has a lot of links that say her husband gave 25K to HRC and more:

[JoFerret]

23. In the age of cell phone video

...that would mean naivety or - worse - hypocrisy. (talk this way to one crowd and that way to another. Identity politics and slice and dice Rovianism.)

[rodeodance]

38. conspiracy theory from you. Too bad BHO put his foot in his mouth-

.....Doesn't it seem like this was planned? Was Fowler a plant?

15. 3 of those links aren't even articles. but you don't care. you have CAPSLOCK

[TheDonkey]

16. "I remember particularly a trip to Bosnia where the welcoming ceremony had to be canceled due to

SNIPER FIRE"

Sorry Hillary, that story still isn't dead. :rofl:

[ProSense]

33. One is a wingnut site and one endorsed Obama because of Hillary's BS. n/t

[rodeodance]

37. LAME

[ProSense]

43. No the OP is lame, most of those stories are posing questions, which everyone knows is nonsense

given how Hillary's smear backfired. The others are either wingnuts (Hot Air?) or Hillary shills (Nutter) spouting off.

It's a flashy OP, but it doesn't prove the smear is working against Obama. Hillary is toast.

[rodeodance]

52. Got Bitter!!

[MethuenProgressive]

50. Obviously the OP needed 62 links to posts by the OPer in other DU threads.

:rofl:

[screembloodymurder]

17. Wow!

It's a bitter pill to swallow, but "free press" may be an oxymoron.

[babylonsister]

19. Too bad you don't have the same energy to proclaim the BFEE

admitted to lying about torture. You know, something relevant. You sound like the m$m.

[MethuenProgressive]

24. OP posts MSM frontpages. Babylonsister retorts: "You sound like the m$m."

27. Thanks for your work on this.

[BigBearJohn]

91. Thanks for all your great posts!

:toast:

[nxylas]

28. And the media's love affair with itself continues

From the USA Today story: "One way to measure whether a controversy is getting much attention and therefore will affect voters' thinking, of course, is to look at the front pages of local newspapers." Another way is to talk to actual people, but who the hell cares what they think?

[PinkTiger]

40. You can't say "the media" is behind this, collectively.

As a newspaper reporter/editor, I know that at the local level those decisions are made there. And who cares? The people who read the paper care. And they are PEOPLE. USA Today is a different story. Those decisions are made by an editiorial board in a city somewhere, far far away from the hometowns. But the Pennsylvania papers we are looking at did their own reporting.
Think again.


To the OP poster: Thanks for this-- great to see what local papers in PA are doing.

[high density]

41. Why does the media think people are not bitter?

The media are the ones buying the polls showing Bush at a 20% approval rating and consumer sentiment back in early 1980s territory.

The media needs to realize that we do not need them to be insulted on our behalf, even if the Clinton and/or McCain camps say otherwise. They're always going overboard on their collective decision to play moral authority or whatever in our political races.

[GoldieAZ49]

58. Newspapers job is to sell papers, their front page shows what people want to know

about so they will buy the paper

[libbygurl]

30. K & R! Excellent compilation! International, domestic and PA! Good job! nt

[rodeodance]

35. yes, very comprehensive

[BigBearJohn]

92. Thanks!

[Rob Gregory Browne]

36. I, for one, am glad this is out there

Because people will read and see Obama's explanation, then nod their heads and go, "Yeah, he's right..."

[indimuse]

39. really enjoyed your post.

thanks! K&R

51. Great thread. The truth is the biggest enemy of the Obama camp.

[UALRBSofL]

59. OP thanks for posting the current news. They seem to have exposed SNOBama

for his empty suit rhetoric, a politician that will do anything to win. A politician that chooses to hob-nob with the rich and look down on the common man. :yourock:

[BigBearJohn]

94. Well, we do need to see BOTH sides. Thanks for posting.

[harun]

76. Truth of what? Obama telling the truth and Hillary not?

[noel711]

55. Slow news day... eh?

Let's see... thousands starving in Darfur,
universal protest against China olympics over Tibet and human rights,
the US economy tanks further down the toilet,
and that damn war coninutes to fester...

just a few lowlights,
but we gotta hammer and yammer on
something that means nothings to the wider world..

Because the MSM considers us all stupid...
and needs to tell us what to think.

To quote my favorite Wicked Witch:
"What a world, what a world..."

[rodeodance]

60. "56% of voters nationwide disagree with Obama’s controversial comment" RAS:

New polling data released this morning shows that 56% of voters nationwide disagree with Obama’s controversial comment that people in small towns “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."

[cliffordu]

104. Of course you, like Hillary love to cherry pick what is really said...

and distort it to your own ends -
That poll goes on to say:

"The data also suggests that the Obama campaign was shrewd to try and focus attention on the portion of the comments about people being bitter. Most Americans agree with Obama’s statement that “People are fed up. They're angry and they're frustrated and they're bitter, and they want to see a change in Washington.” Following the initial weekend furor over the remarks, Rasmussen Markets data still gives Obama an 82.3 % chance of winning the Democratic nomination."
