Facing a severe backlash for comments made in San Francisco regarding voter "bitterness" in Pennsylvania, the campaign of Senator Barack Obama(D-ILL) issued this statement in an attempt to diffuse the brewing firestorm:

"We wish to clarify remarks made a few days ago in San Francisco regarding the bitterness being experienced by voters in Pennsylvania. We assumed there would be a level of sophistication on the part of the people of Pennsylvania who we thought would understand that a black man, raised in Indonesia and Hawaii, who is Ivy League educated and never spent a day in his life living in small town America, would know what is best for them. Clinging to guns, religion and self-reliance as a way of venting their bitterness over being out of work the past 25 years, about the state of the economy and the direction of the country in general is not the way to go about implementing "change". They simply don't understand that we know what's best for them, their state and their futures." Continuing, "In the future, when addressing these individuals, we promise to use smaller words and shorter sentences so they will understand, conform and appreciate someone looking out for their best interests. In closing, we adamantly refute the terms "elitist" and “condescending”. We are not; We simply know what's best for them."

Obama is a gaffe wrapped in a platitude wrapped in an empty suit.

This assclown socialist just gets better by the day. The pile of reasons why this liberal nut case should not get near our beloved White House just keep piling up -— I have lost count....do numbers go that high??

Let's see if the people of Illinois see him for what he is and throw his butt out of the Senate if he fails to get to the WH.

Obama’s words really define mainstream Americans when taken in context. It is a mortal sin in Obama’s eyes to be a mainstream American, thus he wanted to be insulting but it backfired to bite him in the arse. You don’t mock voter’s deeply held principles and patriotism.

“...and it’s not surprising then that they get bitter, they cling to guns (are pro-1st amendment) or religion (Bible- believing churchgoing folk) or antipathy to people who aren’t like them (real Americans have antipathy and do not believe CAIR should be allowed to operate in our country. They have antipathy towards those who believe children should be indoctrinated into the homosexual lifestyle and into having sex at 13, with abortions at any age in any stage)or anti-immigrant sentiment (really anti-illegal alien, nothing wrong with that) or anti-trade sentiment (those who don’t want Mexican trucks driving freely throughout the U.S. Highway system) as a way to explain their frustrations.”

LOL, Way to gooooooooooo O! Belittle American values and hang your campaign from the nearest tree. Oh, and talk to your “Rev.” Wright, he’s obviously taught you well about antipathy.

Ooooo! Ooooo! The pickup trucks! Yes!

We have to remind him to bring that up next time! Because that is how we get to our Churches and where our long guns are displayed on a rack and our pistols are under the seat and how we have gotten back and forth from work for the last 25 years. And we wear our baseball caps with the bill facing forward unless we are welding. And we can lift a finger off of the steering wheel at an approaching vehicle and get the same friendly gesture back or a nod and not face some idiot thinking we have road rage.

Too funny. Liberals do know what's best for us. After all, we don't get it! ;-)

NO WE DON'T

What is it with you Hillary haters that you can't see how effective keeping her in is helping our side?????

Can't you understand that we who want her to stay in dislike her as much as you all do, only we appreciate a strategy to create havoc among the Dhummies??

Apparently not, because y'all keep popping up and popping off regardless of how successful we have been using this strategy

Just think if those like yourself had been effective in having knocked her out last month?

Obamama has managed to Teflon his way out of every gaff he's made to date and I GUARANTEE he will skate on this one as well.

Without Hitlery in there to keep hammering him, who do you think is going to do so???

OPERATION CHAOS HAS AND NEEDS TO CONTINUE TO BE PURSUED WITH COMPLETE AND TOTAL VIGOR

Does OBumba really thank that Pennsylvania has a bunch of stupid bitter hicks living in small towns not smart enough to be able to see the difference between phoney rhetoric and genuine discourse? We can recognize a bitter politician with a bitter wife!

CVV, I support your right to think whatever you wish, however I NEVER look to a Yank for advice:-)

Don’t worry they will vote for Hillary instead.

Too bad, too be so narrow minded, because some of us "YANKS" have "been around" (myself for almost 65 years) and have lived in OTHER places than in Yankee Country, including Texas, Florida, Hawaii, Japan, Washington, D.C., New Jersey and of course, Vietnam, (not to mention having traveled to or visited some THIRTY COUNTRIES) that we might just have something worthwhile to contribute to the issue and I won't even go into my curriculum vitae or other life/work experience.

So, care to continue???

The ball is in your court, friend, but a friendly reminder of an old English proverb: “Better to remain silent and be thought a fool, than to open your mouth and remove all doubt."
