Kirsten Powers: “They are things that I think in a liberal world sound totally normal, and outside of that world I don’t know that he appreciates how it sounds."

BINGO! Obama is a leftist and only the real lefties I know would agree with his quote. I don't see how you can run for president and say common people "cling" to religion out of "bitterness". Really extreme.

This will go down in the history books as the beginning of the end of Obama’s campaign.

Small town America is the God fearing, conservative backbone of this country. To hell with that racist scumbag for denigrating them.

Hell, I cling to my guns because of fear of government loving internationalist NWO scumbags like Obama, Clinton and McCain.

Just another reflection on a person that has absolutely no business even near the Presidency. This nut case should not even be a Senator, but as we look hard at the Congress, we find that being a nutjob is almost a requirement to be accepted in Washington.

God help America.

Ha!! About time Ubama started getting some flack from the media--Image and video hosting by TinyPic

I loved Hil's response (though I've got little use for her): "“Pennsylvanians don’t need a president who looks down on them. They need a president who stands up for them, who fights for them,” Clinton said Friday afternoon at a campaign stop in Philadelphia. She said the Pennsylvanians she’s met aren’t bitter, but “resilient” and “positive.”

And this one: "McCain adviser Steve Schmidt called Obama’s statement “remarkable” and “extremely revealing.”

“It shows an elitism and condescension towards hardworking Americans that is nothing short of breathtaking,” Schmidt said. “It is hard to imagine someone running for president of the United States who is more out of touch with average Americans.”

Schmidt also said it shows Obama views the people he’s trying to relate to with “contempt.” "

Bwahahahahahahahahahahahaha!! Ubama, you are going down!! Just like a 'typical' elitist socialist! :-)

I think the beginning of the end for his campaign was a while back. All that this nose-diving campaign is doing now is picking up speed.

Okay, putting political hyperbole aside, this guy honestly scares me. How this guy, so far off the charts, can be a serious contender for the presidency of the United States demonstrates to me how far we have fallen as a nation community.

I believe that outrageous statements like these are likely the tip of the iceberg of what lies in his heart. Further, it clearly demonstrates to me that he really is not philosophically different than Jeremiah Wright. This guy is very scary indeed. That he would be considered presidential material is even more frightening.

It really should. Played properly, this could have a breathtaking effect. It reveals Obama's true character in all its glory.
