OBAMA AN ELITIST when no one is watching...how disgusting

Its OK if Hillary made so many millions of $s but atleast she did not forget the ordinary people. Jus imargine, Obama told wealthy San Franciscans that small-town Pennsylvanians and Midwesterners ???cling to guns or religion??? because they are ???bitter??? about their economic status.
The bottom line is that Obama is vulnerable and will be easily bullied out of the November general election by Republicans if he gets the Nomination, which he should not get. It is true that Clinton chose (strategically) not to exploit his weaknesses as this would not have helped Dems, but against McCain, he will loose crying. This means that we will be adding to that, not that I'm obsessed with numbers. Obama is just WEAK, PERIOD!!! we need someone with the gutts like Hillary's. Barrack must be judged purely by the things he has said or done during this race, and the "bitter" comment about the small states and the Rev Write hate speech should not be left unscrutinised. I support the Mayors of the small states who have collectively voiced their displeasure and shock at Obama's elitist tendencies.

Reguardless of who he told it to, is the comment about bitterness true. I have no idea of how much you make but lets pretend that you make 40,000 a year. Let's say that you lost your job because your boss wants to increase his/her salary from 500,000 to 540,000 yearly. You WOULDN'T be "BITTER"? I would be a lot more than just that.

You as an ordinary person like me can make such statements and get away with them, but for someone running for the highest office in the land, the office that is expected to solve these joblessness other problems that our people face, I think it was reckless and irresponsible for him. He is running for President for Christ sake. Lets admit it, he thought no one would hear about his comments and decided to please the fat cats by uttering comments that were insensitive. I have serious doubts about this guy. He must just graciously bow out.

Your first sentences tells it all for me. I think that the reason that I like Obama and he will get my vote is because of his "realness". I have seen what happens when "politics" run the country and I don't like it. When your boss tells you that you are fired after 20+ years of dedicated services to that company, there isn't much room for "political correctness". The fact is you had a way of life and that has just been taking away from you.
I want a President (highest office in the land) who can tell me what he believes, if I agree or disagree, without trying to impress everyone else. I was not offended by his comment at all. As soon as I read it, I took myself and the current position that I am in and though how would I feel if I was treated like that. Bitter was on my list but not on the top. (Lot's of explicts if you know what I mean)
Telling "fat cats" that people are P/O ed when they take their jobs isn't helping himself with them. For me, those comments were NOT insensitive but TRUE. The Truth hurts and adults should be able to deal with it............Why would Obama "graciously bow out"? He's the Frontrunner........
Someone's a little BITTER, eh??

I would be a little bitter, but mostly at myself for not being better prepared to lose my job over something like profit margin, which is perfectly legal, and fairly common. Fool me once, shame on you; fool me twice, shame on me. Have a viable plan B.
