So I guess it's OK for the Fox News/hate radio/Clinton crowd to court the "angry white (male) vote",
but when Obama refers to the bitter working class, that renders him unelectable.

Have Hil and her supporters always been one with the Fox News cult? Or is this news?

1. The Clintons and their enablers
don't care if they destroy the Democratic party. They are primarly concerned with the Clinton brand and they will win at all costs or make damn sure their opponent doesn't win. That's who they truly are. It's not pretty but there you have it.

2. The "Fox News cult" is being less biased than the rest of the media.
Sad but true.

16. The "Fox News cult" is doing everything it can to ensure that the Rs
can run against Hillary and retain the WH.

3. Where have you been for the past two decades?
This is all they have been doing. But I never heard any of the Obama-now supporters complain when they were trashing Hillary and Bill and Chelsea all those years.

4. We've had many conversations on DU about how the Clintons
were attacked relentlessly and how it never stopped once Bill took office. That's when I learned to loathe cable news, anyway. And the way news people just called him "Clinton" or "Bill Clinton" and not "President Clinton".

12. Thank you
that is a bunch of bull shit. I think the reason why most Democrats are so pissed with the Clintons is because good dems spent years defending them only to have the Clintons take a dump on the party because they are power hungry.

6. Where have you been?
While it is disgusting that Cabal News and hate radio are are smearing our only hope to extricate the country from fascism, it's beyond deplorable that the Clintons, who were slimed for 15 years by the fascists, are now making friends with them.

8. You're missing Obama's point: blue collar workers cling to their guns and God because they're bitter
Blue collar workers are racist because they are bitter - - is what Obama implied.


What Obama tried to do and miserably failed was to take some basic voter precepts found in "What's the matter with Kansas" and spin them to his group of billionaires so that they, in turn, would fatten his coffers.


Nothing in his political career indicates Obama has done even a single thing to counter the reasons voters in places like rural Kansas have recently voted so totally against their own good fortunes. In fact the opposite is true: Obama seeks to seduce voters using the very same tactics Republicans used.

13. No, what he implied was that the right wingers offer the people of the US nothing but hatred and
divisiveness, the underpinnings of which are racism and bigotry. The GOP's entire platform is, "We will abuse you, take all of your tax dollars, send all of the good-paying jobs overseas, spy on you, arrest you, torture you, take you for granted, and leave you without health care or education, but we're on your side on gun control and in-your-face religion and will keep the Muslims and other minorities from taking over". Hillary has joined them in this campaign. Period.
