Video: Obama under fire (again) for telling the truth

Sandra Rose April 14, 2008

Presidential candidate Barack Obama said he “deeply regrets” offending anyone by making a statement saying the “working class” (ie, the poor and disenfranchised) are “bitter” at the economy.

So far so good. But then he throws gasoline on the fire by saying they hate immigrants and they “cling to guns or religion or antipathy to people who aren’t like them.” Political commentators, the biased media and Sen. Hillary Clinton predictably pounced all over this latest Obama gaffe.

Even Obama realizes he made a big mistake: listen to him stutter nervously at the 2:02 mark. Obama goes on to say, “I didn’t say it as well as I should have.”

^^ and women not having insurance when they do.

Basically, they don’t want this man to talk anything but “politics as is”. Whatever.

this is all becoming very petty

I am starting to be a little concerned about how Obama acts and reacts under pressure! I don’t know if anyone saw him on the View…but, it was hilarious!! He was clearly very nervous and kept fidgeting throughout the whole interview. It was so obvious that Jay Leno made a joke about it on the tonight show. Although, I appreciate his effort…we can’t afford for him to be breaking under pressure. We are at war and our economy is all messed up…and he needs to be able to handle the pressure, while he’s talking all this change stuff..he ain’t seen nothing yet!!!

@ blkdiamonn

That’s because he doesn’t have pre-canned answers for every possible question like Hillary does! It usually takes a moment to THINK about an intelligent response!

Tell me about it! Hillary was lying like she was a P.O.W. in Kosovo or something! Hillary is like the ex-girlfriend that still won’t get a clue that the relationship is over, even when he’s got a new chick!

She’s just desperate to jump on any little negative thing! But did you hear Obama clown her though? He was like, “She acting like she’s Annie Oakley! She know better!” LMBAO! I’m loving it!

We’re ALL bitter! Hell, I’m Black in California, bitter than a mug! lol

Obama can’t open his mouth to say anything. Why is everyone apologizing for everything they say. I am tired of these apology tours–apologizing, because someone was offended. Whatever happended to keepin it real? Either you meant it or you didn’t.

Don’t you know this mess done turned me off from CNN? I only read it on the web now so that I don’t have to hear the latest political crap. I’m tired of this petty mess. Wake me when the Democratic nominee is determined.

That is because he has to watch every single word he says while he is trying to get the nomination. I have no doubt that if he became president he would have to worry so much about this petty crap and can actually get the job done. The more common sense he makes the more they attack him. In my eyes he’s the man for even staying in the fight because I would have shanked Hillary’s ass by now if I were in his shoes.

Its still better than Hilary and her colorful story about the “snipers”
missamerica

Obama’s comments just proves who he has on his team in order for him to make a statement like that. What does he know about redneck bitterness?

Hillary just lying for no reason. No wonder her and Bill are so tight. Although I do appreciate the campaign she is running in Pennsylvania and the fact she spoke about things that actually affect black people directly.

Obama is running a “I’m not Black” campaign and staying away from Philly because Whitey told him he got the votes locked in. I just can’t get with the whole, “there is no conservative America or liberal America, there is only the United States of America” that message is a bunch of BS. America was built on division and that’s not going to change. I just wish Obama could be real for once.

And I think a lot of people got it twisted. Hillary is the one that makes sense and can answer any question when asked. Obama sounds like a recorded message and has been prepped.

Even though Hillary lied, she is a politician and that’s to be expected. Obama’s no exception to the rule. You have to lie to be in politics, that’s in the job description.

Its all a show! I just wish the Democrats would have just picked somebody instead of wasting all this time, energy and money.

Hillary Clinton is not suited to be the president. Her lies and her racist innuendo should be enough to turn anyone off from her. But mainstream media continues to claim black people are voting their race, and whites aren’t. Hillary’s white supporters seem willing to swallow any gaffe she makes, no matter how negative, because she’s white. I really wish white Americans were smarter than they are hateful.
