This is what I'm talking about!!!!
"Obama Turns Tables on Clinton
STEELTON, Penn. (AP) - Democrat Barack Obama lashed out Sunday at rival
Hillary Rodham Clinton, mocking her vocal support for gun rights and
saying her record in the Senate and as first lady belied her stated
commitment to working class voters and their concerns.
"She knows better. Shame on her. Shame on her," Obama told an audience at a union hall here."

I love that he didn't leave it at "shame on her" but added "she knows better." He's still giving her room to save face, while not putting up with her silliness. Good on Obama.

GoBama! The only way to level the playing field here is to call her on the shameless pandering, and there are few things more shameless than Hillary swaggering before a microphone with one of her 'Ya know' moments before she tells one of those tales that never dies. The delicious irony of it was quick to follow when she refused to answer a question on when the last time she last fired a gun. I guess she quickly became aware that she probably needs a permit to hunt, and a license to own a weapon, and that these are matters of public record. It'd be really humorous if a journalist were to find out she never had a hunting permit and brings the absurd claims about her 'little girlhood' to its logical conclusion. Good for Obama to call it what it is - shameless pandering.

Hillary looked pretty hung-over this morning. She needs to lay off the shots and beer.

Oh yes, absolutely. Obama says people in small-towns cling to faith out of bitterness. Shame on Hillary! Obama calls Hillary "Annie Oakley". Shame on Hillary! This weekend Obama's beloved pastor attacked America for slavery again and called Thomas Jefferson a pedophile. Shame on Hillary!

i think it reasonable for America to be attacked for slavery, by a person of any creed or color. it is a blight on America's history and it casts an odious shadow even today, particularly among african americans of Wright's generation who remember when they had to sit at the back of the bus. Wright doesn't represent what's wrong with America, his BITTERness and twisted perspectives are symptomatic of America's failure to properly grapple with issues of race and social justice.

you people are amazing and the media is shameless. if you read the whole quote, he was sympathizing and actually giving the hillbillies reprieve for their bigotry. government fail us ordinary folks year after year and right now times are hard for almost everyone in every class. he was right in the sense that since we have lost all faith in the econonmy, we find comfort in other things. i have dissected that quote and i don't see where he implied guns, religion or anti-immigration are wrong or right. he just stated that those things become more important and we vote on those matters b/c we have pretty much given up on the economic side of things.
that is true or pa, fl, mi, il, you name it.
shame on hrc for making it an issue and shame on obama for being honest. by now, he should know that you have lie and fake it sometimes if you want to win. such honest talk is going to put mccain in the white house. we beg for honesty, but we can't handle it. deep down inside, those folks knows what he is referring to, but the bigotry in us, will shut down our common sense and our idiot sense will prevail.
once again hrc has outdone herself. obama cannot let the elitist title stick. this is a man who didn't get a great paying job after harvard. this is a man who just finished paying his student loans. this is a mulatto kid raised in single family household w/ no silver spoon in his mouth. this is a man just started making real money. this is a man who has built his whole career on helping people at the ground-level. he has not been around as long as hrc, so his resume is not as long, but to call him an elitis not fair. hrc need to be careful with that b/c that title fits her more readily.
lastnite's compassion forum made one thing clear--obama is who he is and you either take him or leave him. he is not for sale! hrc was a politician through and through and it showed. she wanted to show faith but not really. obama embraced it and used it as talking points for his political agenda. he won that forum in my eyes.

I'm sure Senator Clinton is shaking in her pant suit. Shame on her, funny.

I doubt she is afraid at all. She still does not see that he is ten times the politician she will ever be. She has been beaten and beaten up by some one that does not even fight to her way of thinking. She will still belive he is a weak candidate, not up to the job when he is being sworn in. She does not and will not get it. She has had her ass kicked and cannot even entertain the thought that it is because he is the better politician.
q. Who is more of a loser, the loser or the one who lost to the loser?
a. Hillary Clinton
