Obama Draws Fire for Comments on Small-Town America

Fox News ^ | April 11, 2008

[GodGunsGuts]

Hillary Clinton and John McCain both ripped into Barack Obama Friday for reportedly saying residents of small-town America “cling to guns or religion or antipathy to people who aren’t like them” out of bitterness over lost jobs, a remark his opponents interpreted as arrogant...

The “uniter” divides America again.

He probably just meant the white folk.

Kirsten Powers: “They are things that I think in a liberal world sound totally normal, and outside of that world I don’t know that he appreciates how it sounds."

BINGO! Obama is a leftist and only the real lefties I know would agree with his quote. I don't see how you can run for president and say common people "cling" to religion out of "bitterness". Really extreme.

[Don Corleone]

B. Hussein O. is an empty Communist suit, make no mistake about it.

[Krankor]

This will go down in the history books as the beginning of the end of Obama’s campaign.

[infantrywhooah]

Small town America is the God fearing, conservative backbone of this country. To hell with that racist scumbag for denigrating them.

[Libloather]

CNN is rippin’ Obomber a new one - right now.

[Rob112586]

Hell, I cling to my guns because of fear of government loving internationalist NWO scumbags like Obama, Clinton and McCain.

[EagleUSA]

Just another reflection on a person that has absolutely no business even near the Presidency. This nut case should not even be a Senator, but as we look hard at the Congress, we find that being a nutjob is almost a requirement to be accepted in Washington.

God help America.

[353FMG]

I wish I had your eloquence. You said it all.

[xuberalles]

Yep, Yep!

[pillut48]

Ha!! About time Ubama started getting some flack from the media--

I loved Hil's response (though I've got little use for her): "“Pennsylvanians don’t need a president who looks down on them. They need a president who stands up for them, who fights for them,” Clinton said Friday afternoon at a campaign stop in Philadelphia. She said the Pennsylvanians she’s met aren’t bitter, but “resilient” and “positive.”

And this one: "McCain adviser Steve Schmidt called Obama’s statement “remarkable” and “extremely revealing.”

“It shows an elitism and condescension towards hardworking Americans that is nothing short of breathtaking,” Schmidt said. “It is hard to imagine someone running for president of the United States who is more out of touch with average Americans.”

Schmidt also said it shows Obama views the people he’s trying to relate to with “contempt.” "

Bwahahahahahahahahahahahaha!! Ubama, you are going down!! Just like a 'typical' elitist socialist! :-)

This will go down in the history books as the beginning of the end of Obama’s campaign.

I think the beginning of the end for his campaign was a while back. All that this nose-diving campaign is doing now is picking up speed.

[weegee]

Neopresidunce.

[gusopol3]

sounds like the Christopher Hedges American Fascists line. Leftists eat it up.

[Cobra64]

B. Hussein O. is an empty Communist suit, make no mistake about it.

[Obadiah]

Okay, putting political hyperbole aside, this guy honestly scares me. How this guy, so far off the charts, can be a serious contender for the presidency of the United States demonstrates to me how far we have fallen as a nation community.

I believe that outrageous statements like these are likely the tip of the iceberg of what lies in his heart. Further, it clearly demonstrates to me that he really is not philosophically different than Jeremiah Wright. This guy is very scary indeed. That he would be considered presidential material is even more frightening.

[hinckley buzzard]

This will go down in the history books as the beginning of the end of Obama’s campaign.

It really should. Played properly, this could have a breathtaking effect. It reveals Obama's true character in all its glory.

[FrdmLvr]

Geez, this guy’s a real peach. Just keep talking, Obama.

[infantrywhooah]

If Osama wins the nomination, McCain better make good use of this statement and others like it and hold his pathetic, racist, head under the water with it until the bubbles stop. Just when you think he cannot show how absolutely blinded with hate and racism he is, he comes up with crap like this.

[FrdmLvr]

LOL!!!

[Gator113]

Hey democrats.....when are you going to learn?

Obama hates your lily white guts. You are to be dealt with by whatever means.

[weegee]

This scampaign will self-destruct. The question is whether the media can prop up their false god until November.

[Gator113]

LMAO....You may be responsible for breaking one of my ribs!!

[Biblebelter]

Barry gets outed by a citizen reporter for the Huffington Post who has the audio. Hey, Barry is the Huffington Post part of the VRWC as is Fox and ABC who broadcast the Wright hate tapes.

[gusopol3]

Played properly

we've already fouled off the "Typical White Person" comment. "Don't Taze me bro" had a longer street life.

[Crawdad]

Face it folks.

The guy is just not very smart.

Ivy League educations aren’t what they used to be.

[Scarpetta]

We know he’s not color blind, but he’s certainly tone deaf.

[nascarnation]

The Clintoons should be able to grab this fumble and score some points. I’m heading to Sam’s Club for a bulk popcorn stash.

[weegee]

Obama is talking about the United States of You People:

F'in bigot.

[pnh102]

This nut case should not even be a Senator ...

It is a majority of the voters in Illinois who are the problem. That state's other senator stated that our troops are like the Nazis, Stalin and Pol Pot. These 2 jerks are just a reflection of the people of the state.

[llandres]

He really pooped in the punchbowl this time - I love it! Gives me faith that more and more, his REAL beliefs and values will be revealed before it’s too late, ala this latest gaffe. Once again his camp issued a lame statement that only tried to change the subject. And they claimed none of them had yet “heard the tape”. Come on. Don’t think he can easily wiggle out of this one, and the timing couldn’t have been better. “Small town America” makes up the heart and majority of this country, not the wine & cheese, latte-land elites such as those flush Californians to whom he pontificated.

[hinckley buzzard]

it clearly demonstrates to me that he really is not philosophically different than Jeremiah Wright

Indeed. In his book he states he hung out with "marxist professors, structural feminists, and student activists" while in college. He has no problem with anything Wright ever said. Neither does his snot-nosed wife. You are right to be alert to this guy, he is not a good person, but rather a malignant force, hostile to the freedoms Americans take for granted.

[Cobra64]

I think this negro, colored, brown, black, african-american should join his friends in the big city.

And his terrorist friends:

[Biblebelter]

I would tell anyone interested in the MSM and its reaction to Obama to view the Lou Dobbs rerun tonight. They DEVOTED almost the entire show to Obama’s hate speech against small town America. You will not see a better program on Fox or MSNBC.

[litehaus]

Affirmative action is tho! Wanna a AA surgeon doing yer transplant?

[GodGunsGuts]

I’m not so sure. I know a lot of extremely damning things about Obama. When I share this information with my moderate and liberal friends and family members, they always make excuses for the man and say they will vote for him anyway. This is pretty extreme devotion when you consider that they can still switch their vote to Hillary. Will America snap out of it? I’m not so sure at this point. Of course, it doesn’t help that we have a RHINO running on the Republican ticket. God help America! (and I mean that quite literally)—GGG

[litehaus]

Ingraham on FOX is just gettin to it.....

[I see my hands]

[lawnguy]

IIRC, Hillary said things like this while in Arkansas. Just a little more subtle.

[Free ThinkerNY]

I Want You To Stop Acting Like A Typical White Person

[GodGunsGuts]

Thank you!...I’ll be tuning in as sure as I’m sitting here!!!

[Earthdweller]

"...a remark his opponents interpreted as arrogant."

It's not arrogant, it's ignorant.

[GodGunsGuts]

LOL! What a scary thought!!!

[SaveTheChief]

Obama doesn't understand America at all. There cannot be a worse possible candidate for President.

[maine-iac7]

You go into these small towns in Pennsylvania and, like a lot of small towns in the Midwest, ...they cling to guns or religion or antipathy to people who aren’t like them or anti-immigrant sentiment "

That's gonna get him a lot of votes in Fly-Over country...not.

Arrogant, skinny putz.

Hope we get the ads ready and use the sound tape of him saying it.

Whenever, it seems, he's not reading a teleprompter, he opens his mouth and out spills his ignorance and arrogance

[llandres]

He’s a far too brilliant speech writer/deliverer, but thankfully very weak when unscripted. And there will be many more of those situations where he has to be spontaneous and off the cuff, and that’s where his real thoughts and values will be exposed.

[weegee]

Oh, I don't know, I think 4 years of an Obamanation would do wonders to wake up dumb white liberals who've long felt burdened by a past they didn't create for people they didn't know or encounter. They would wake up to find that selling a victim mentality to attain political power and agreeing that they are “the oppressor” won't earn them any love.

Let the white liberals experience naked discrimination (payback for the “white privilege” they agree exists). It's only “fair”.

How much will the reparations be that we get for 4 years of Obama and Co. discriminating?

They are establishing racial division where it did not exist. They are setting the foundation for an "us and them" mentality. God help us all.
