Obama slams Clinton’s beer-and-whiskey photo-op By Klaus Marre Posted: 04/14/08 11:37 AM [ET] Sen. Barack Obama (Ill.) on Monday, after enduring three straight days of criticism for appearing “elitist,” struck back at his rival for the Democratic presidential nomination, Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton (N.Y.).
“Around election time, the candidates can’t do enough for you,” Obama told the Alliance for American Manufacturing in Pittsburgh. “They’ll promise you anything, give you a long list of proposals and even come around, with TV crews in tow, to throw back a shot and a beer.”
The remark was an obvious attack on Clinton, who had a beer and a shot of whiskey at a campaign stop in Indiana while criticizing Obama for being elitist.
“But if those same candidates are taking millions of dollars in contributions from the PACs and lobbyists, ask yourself, who are they going to be toasting once the election is over?” the Illinois senator added.

Did he have to take time out between cigarettes to criticize her?
Can anyone recommend something other than popcorn? I’m going through way too much floss now....
Obama is just jealous because Islam prohibits him from one-upping Hillary on this one.
So Clinton should’ve been snorting crack?
I have to give some grudging respect to Sen. Clinton for being a woman who’s at least able to do a shot.
That’s all the respect she gets though.
He was buys prepping the Hookah bowl for the sit down with Amadmanjihadi.
On his next campaign stop maybe Obami will fire up a doobie and pass it around.
Got to one up the Hillbag.
Rave on, Obama. Your veneer is lifting. More and more, it's becoming apparent he has missed his calling - but hopefully we can assure he gets a chance to fall back on - tent revivalist.
“I have to give some grudging respect to Sen. Clinton for being a woman who’s at least able to do a shot.’
I expect any woman living with Bill would have developed this talent early on.
THAT was funny!!!!!! Still laughing....
So who really cares if she has a shot and a beer?..Do you think even the people she’s trying to suck up to give a rats butt about something like that?
Dat’s a good start, but if you really wanna show the bros that you’re down with dem, y’all get me sum Red Bull!
“They’ll promise you anything, give you a long list of proposals”
Obviously a hypocite, but then, what is he going to say to a group of American manufacturers?
Agreed
Depends on how elitist you wish to appear.
