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."

Operation Chaos continues!
“Typical white lady...”
“White Working class...”
Yep, sounds classist, elitist, and racist to me.
But I'm just a white working guy, what do I know.
That’s her stupid way of trying to “connect” with the regular folk, you know.
I find both of them annoying, Barack Hussein Obama’s catch phrase: YES WE CAN! is really no better, since what it REALLY means is: YOU DON’T ******* UNDERSTAND!!!
I'm already having fun checking in on DU. It's sad, but hysterical...they're acting like a bunch of kindergarten kids, bickering back and forth. I'm looking forward to a brokered convention...politics can be so entertaining!
Operation Chaos. Sheer genius.
Can I ask a silly question. What does DU stand for? I keep seeing it over and over.
It amazes me that someone as “articulate” (as Sen. Biden said last year) as Obama would have such a slip of the tongue, unless his deep seated prejudice against such bitter people, that cling to religion, guns, and fear of illegal immigration, is showing. That is whe way I interpret it. Hasn’t he clung to his pastor for 20 years? Aren’t his bodyguards armed? In other words, it’s different when you are “elite” like Obama.
I think there is a world of difference between a liberal globalist like Hillary and a avid racist America hater like Obama.
what link?
The exception is when Hillary is under oath. Then every sentence is a variation of “I don’t recall.”
THEY ALL CHEAT, and conservatives are too "gracious" to call them on it!!!
They bank on that. I want to fool them!
see #27, then when you get to the site enter the discussion groups...all the action is happening on the General Discussion: Primaries board. Warning...adult content, they’re not censored in anyway for language.
And that’s why we need Hillary to stay in just a bit longer... McCain doesn’t have the guts or the drive to keep up the pressure.
It always takes me a moment to adjust.
Thanks for the link. It's like watching a train wreck of the enemy.
My guess is the people whom Obama insulted wouldn’t vote for him anyway. He could walk in bringing flowers & praising them to the skies & they’ll still turn their backs on him.
Why is why I didn’t even bother reading the rest of Obama’s garbage. Eventually the truth comes out about someone.
