Hunter,
What's interesting is that we all see things differently. I see Clinton News Network for what it is but you see CNN fogging Obama's audio so that their audience can't hear anything. If you can't hear the audio because the network has sabotaged it so that you can't hear it, then I suggest that you go to Fox news to hear it. Or better yet ABC, NBC or CBS are really professional and objective. I'm sure that they are playing the audio very clear. You should go check it out.

Write back and tell us what he said and what the clarity was because we if CNN is booby trapping the audio, it's definitely not fair at all. But I'm sure Fox will have it because they are fair and balance.

Well said, chimpeach.

But hey if bonehead or hunter don't know much about reading comprehension, then apples must not fall too far from the tree. I guess that explains your grammatical usage. Maybe there should have been pictograms. We should suggest for CNN to have a CNN hooked on phonics network for special people like bonehead.

Bonehead is your name,eh?

Well, Obama was speaking at a closed event. so the loser who recorded of course was in disguise. It's inaudible because it was recorded inaudible. The tape that you are hearing is clearly on Huffingtonpost if you want witness the lack of clarity.

Huh, what does elderly people have to do with anything?

This makes me wonder why I am even responding or entertaining you. I think that there should be some type education policy on this site that requires for you to at least have a GED because your lack of comprehension is unbearable.

What planet are you coming from? CNN has been elevating and promoting Hillary since yesterday morning? Just because you don't see Obama all in the front of the cameras acting desperate for attention doesn't mean that they are laying back chilling and letting the networks clean up for him. What damage control do you see? I may have been overlooking but if you could just fill me in then I'd look into it? But I'm not sure what you are talking about.

Look Hillary causes her own mess. Her campaign is a mess. She lacks judgment. She is the one that is clearly out of touch. Anyone in there right mind would know when enough is enough. She is hogging up the camera, taking huge swigs of crown royal and boilers at a bar, talking about guns and religion when she is on record on being vocal about gun control. The hypocrisy. She doesn't recognize when she is overplaying her hand. Then cry sexism when there is a backlash or the media is picking on her. Seriously, what is wrong with that clown. She is a clown.

Obama is more poised and tactical. He doesn't need to do some phony media shuffle because that is not him.

Don't get upset because they are two different people with different deliveries. Obama's happens to be better.

Oh yeah, I watched C-SPAN this morning too. What is interesting is that the lady from Florida was a minority voice compared to the other callers.

Get real.

Hey,
The more the emphasis, the better it's captured. Thanks.

Bitter Media epiphany????

I was just thinking, how could the media get it so wrong?? There's no controversy to what he said. But I think he touched a nerve with corporate america and corporate media. His words told truth to power to these people and if it had gone on uncontested, then these people might just realize that they've been oppressed for so long and wake up and start a revolution.

This affects all of corporate america. They can't have poor people starting to descent and go against everything that they had been brainwashed with since they were young.

If they wake up and revolt, media loses the control they have over them. They've already lost a little of it with youtube. The media started to panic a few years ago with the innovation of independent oline media forums like Dailykos, talkingpointsmemo and americablog.com. They then tried to conquer that tool and incorporate "blogging". Thus, you have CNN's 360 blog, MSNBC's first read, Politico, Huffingtonpost. They even bought out Ana Marie Cox's wonkette.com She went to time.com and then got canned. It's all about conquer and control.

If the poor people revolt, corporate america loses control. When the people speaks, descent and become independent, corporate america loses political power, consumer pricing power, production power, money power, environmental waste power, shareholder power, etc.

If the oppressed revolt, politician's lose power and control. If their political divisive message of guns, race and religion is overturned, then they have nothing left but to either get the fuck out of washington or do their fucking job.

But make no mistake, the political, corporate and media control are all intertwined with one another which explains why they all all of the sudden turned on Barack. They now want to destroy him because if he gets too far ahead, they will all lose control and then the people will control again.

Spitting Image,

Thank you. You've put it into more perspective now. Ron Paul & Mike Huckabee were more honest and spoke from truth. Now that I realize this, it gives me more gloom than anything because they didn't get a fair shot from the media which explains what's going on w/ Obama. (sigh)

Billy,
Either you are joking or you are one of those low information voters that just vote their economic interest away.

You know I've been reading posts all day just trying to get a feel of the landscape on this issue. There are quite few people that were sold onto Obama before but after hearing his comment, it has made them even a stronger supporter of Obama. I happen to be one of them. He really gets it. There is no game playing. A high school dropout can read or listen to his comments and understand where he is coming from. It's the real deal.

Now also intermixed in the blog comments, I heard the most negative comments about Barack. People twisting his words around, calling him elitist, condescending, arrogant, uppity. I'm thinking, "you can't be serious". Really? Then I come to realize that these are either Republicans or fervent Clinton supporters. May I add, fervent Clinton supporters that are either older women or Anti-obama. I mean I can understand the women supporters because they had been waiting on this day for the longest and now it's been taken from them. They don't have another 25 years to go, you know. So I'll let them have their argument. Then there are those that feel they have no other choice but to vote for Hillary (because there is no way in hell that they would vote for Obama for so many superficial reasons other than race.) But I would hope for them to read this post sober. If not yet sober, then come back tommorrow.

I need for a reader to just answer me when was the last time you heard a politician actually speak truth to power on something without the evasive, politically correct language? See, even though Obama came out with a loose tongue, he said it with empathy, compassion and truth. If anyone denies it, then I'm just going to buckle up my boots, because we would still have a long way to go in this country.

Let's be honest. Clinton has absolutely no way to get the nomination unless she tears the party up. If you agree with that with doing that, then you guys belong together. But there is at least one important factor here... People's lifes are at stake here. I understand that politics is like a sportmanship, but sometimes you need to put the baseball bat or hockey stick down and assess the goal and score record. In this situation, we are in the 3rd quarter, was once up by 10 points but now down by 3 points. We are not in a homecourt advantage. Their team are more built and fight dirty with elbows. We only got a 3-point play to make this. If we don't make it, then we are doomed again. Now back to reality, there are people who are hanging by a peice of thread who need a democrat President. Again, IT'S NOT A GAME, IT'S REAL. Hillary, can't overcome the delegates. If she continue to fight nasty like this, we'll just be watching Mccain waltz during his inauguration ball. And some Americans will still be hazardly hanging by that same peice of thread. And some of them will be those same small town voters that Obama was talking honestly about.

I'll let you relish on the rest. Thank you.

I appreciate your comment. When Obama was challenged on healthcare by Hillary & Edwards, he did say that his proposal can be worked on with a group of compromise. He's willing to work with both sides, not just ram it through congress for special interest. If we don't see what is right in front of us and miss the opportunity, I'll just throw my hands up when it comes to politics. From what I've seen through history, it seems like we've had so many opportunities to select a good president but fell for the "okey doke" with Reagan, Bush, Nixon. We need to try something different if it's yet to work before. Quit falling for the 'politics of fear'.
