"They're saying that I'm "out of touch",I'm an "elitist" because I said a lot of folks are bitter about their economic circumstances," Obama said, "When I hear my opponents, both of whom have spent decades in Washington, saying I'm out of touch, it's time to cut through the rhetoric and look at the reality."

Obama emphasized his opposition to NAFTA and CAFTA in front of the union crowd, and again pointed out Clinton's changing position in addition to her top strategist Mark Penn's meeting with the Columbian government.

"You can have a debate about whether my position is right or wrong. But here's what you can't do. You can't spend the better part of two decades campaigning for NAFTA and PNTR for China, and then come here to Pennsylvania, and tell the steelworkers you've been with them all along," Obama said. "You can't say you are opposed to the Colombia Trade deal, while your key strategist is working for the Colombian government to get the deal passed."

1. Hillary really opened a door she shouldn't have.

3. Hillary didn't open the door,

Barack yanked it open and fell on his face. All on his own.

8. Wasn't that Wright scandal supposed to sink him?

Oh, it didn't. Got any proof that manuafactured outrage works? Of course not.
Hillary Clinton should've had this in the bag after February 5th. Listening to her supporters give campaign opinions is like asking Bill Kristol the best way to win in Iraq.

2. I do particularly like that last little zinger.

4. There he goes, telling the truth again.

Doesn't he realize that the only path to victory is to court the Fox News knuckle-dragger vote?

5. I'm Really Looking Forward To The Debate This Week...

She's going to get her ass handed to her.

6. I guess she thought NAFTA and CAFTA

wouldn't be brought up when she opened her big mouth spreading right wing talking points. NAFTA and CAFTA is going to follow her political career from this point forward and rightfully so. What is she going to say when she runs out of lies about her support for them? The people are not as stupid as she may think.

7. Cutting to the final chase. And no more time to waste! K&R n/t
