Clinton Says Obama's 'Bitter' Remark Could Cost Party General Election
April 13, 2008 3:12 PM
ABC News' Eloise Harper Reports: Sen. Hillary Clinton, D-N.Y., took the opportunity to capitalize on her rivals comments that people in small towns are "bitter" for the third day in a row.
Speaking to reporters outside some homes in Scranton, Pennsylvannia where she has family roots and today was greeted by many supporters holding signs and offering encouragement. She made the argument that Sen. Barack Obama's comments could cost the party the election and that the party has been seen as out of touch by male candidates in the past. Clinton also criticized Obama for not "owning up to his remarks."
Clinton was asked if this moment was her opening in the race – the one that she has been looking for. Clinton responded saying,"I think what’s important about this is that Senator Obama has not owned up to what he said, and taken accountability for it you. You know, first said he was right and attacked me for raising his remarks and referencing them. Then he admitted he may have said what he said in artfully. And now he he’s deeply apologized if he offended anyone. But what people are looking for is an explanation."

Assuming we can keep the leftists from framing the remark their own way (they have explicitly stated they want to focus on the “bitter” portion of the remark rather than the “cling to religion and guns” portion), it should cost Obama the election should he be the candidate.
speak truth to power....
Truer words were never spoken, by someone who is not an elitist, but in fact very very common as in common criminal. Hillary has a story to tell, she is just a common criminal, trying to get her very common criminal family back on top and back in the White House.
In other words Hillary is acknowledging that the people don’t trust the Democrats.
Bump.
IOW, he has given up on Hillary getting the nod!!!
Of course, he has helped put her in the toilet and Obammy is shooting his toes off a foot at a time!
Bwahahahaha
Good for our side.
Good. The thought of a whitey-hating, racist empty suit or a megalomaniac, lying socialist in the White House really does not appeal to me anyway.
If Hillary isn't reading a prompter or reciting a memorized speech, each and every sentence starts with "You know..."
How annoying from the Smartest Woman in America.
Her hometown Scranton, PA newspaper endorsed obama today. That has to sting the smartest woman in the world.
Demographics prove the perfect Hillary supporter is an aging lesbian who wears pink pantsuits. The soccer moms have all left the field. Everybody is getting tired of Obama v. Clinton primaries. Get out the popcorn, people. The DNC convention will be fun to watch.
Reminds me of when my daughter was about 14. Very annoying.
YES....brilliant.....they BOTH need to keep talking!
Somebody should tell him those lost Obama voters already hate them.
What does this mean: By “male candidates”?
“You know .... you know ... you know ... you know ... you know.”
Not really, Hillaryous. We need to distance ourselves from liars, crooks, criminals, theives, charlatans, like you, your husband and quite possibly Barack.
In doing so, America's best days are ahead of us.
