Here's a clip taken by somebody at the San Francisco event; it's the passage just before the lines everyone is now focused on, in which he talks about the skepticism he encounters:

Here's how it is: in a lot of these communities in big industrial states like Ohio and Pennsylvania, people have been beaten down so long, and they feel so betrayed by government, and when they hear a pitch that is premised on not being cynical about government, then a part of them just doesn't buy it. And when it's delivered by -- it's true that when it's delivered by a 46-year-old black man named Barack Obama (laugher), then that adds another layer of skepticism.

This just might allow Hillary to get the nomination. We continue to hurtle to the ultimate meltdown, complete with race riots and violence. I’m not enjoying this like some ... I think its terrible for our country.

For those of you who don't know, Zombie Time has some truly stunning pictures of the limousine liberal decadence and Robber Baron-esque profligacy at this event:

In particular, is this boy in the Zombie Time exterior photo:

the same as this boy in the Flickr interior photo?

that must have been his white side slipping out.... Amazing lets get beyond race and then .... using his blackness to make a point...

...and they feel so betrayed by government, and when they hear a pitch that is premised on not being cynical about government, then a part of them just doesn't buy it.

Dang...they're just like me (a life-long city slicker). I don't trust these lying politicians either...ESPECIALLY THESE TWO...

Newt Gingrich: Obama just doesn’t get Americans

Over at Youtube there is/was a 39 second clip from the SF meet. Youtube says it was removed “by the user.”

I looked at the user’s home page. A Barack supporter.

At least he’s owning up to the fact that his message of hope and change is just a slick sales “pitch,” and that many sensible people aren’t “buying” from the shyster.

Exactly how I interpret it!

Hillary's agents are there to record every gaffe Obama says.

Not! this video is not the same event.

In 1981 ... Obama visited his mother and sister Maya in Indonesia. After that visit, Obama traveled to Pakistan with a friend from college whose family was from there.

The Obama campaign says Obama was in Pakistan for about three weeks, staying with his friend's family in Karachi ...

Hillary's agents are there to record every gaffe Obama says.

Exactly...unless it was Agent 99, one of Rush's 'Operation Chaos' agents...

Hey Jerry, LOOK! Hillary's calling Obama an Elitist!

[STARWISE]

"Apparently, according to the Obama campaign, In 1981 -- the year Obama transferred from Occidental College to Columbia University -- Obama visited his mother and sister Maya in Indonesia. After that visit, Obama traveled to Pakistan with a friend from college whose family was from there. The Obama campaign says Obama was in Pakistan for about three weeks, staying with his friend's family in Karachi and also visiting Hyderabad in Southern India."

Whew !! that's a relief ... Karachi and southern India.

What everyone needs to know is just whom he was speaking those bitter word to on April 6th. It was the MOST wealthy of the wealthy in San Francisco .. the homes of 3 billionaires, as documented below. And the mainstream press were absent, because this sojourn was off calendar... not noted in news coverage (at least not truthfully about the contributors), no photos. But an enterprising sleuth captured some really good stuff, and, of course, someone in there taped it, which is how it got out at all.

Obama Visits Billionaires Row

San Francisco, April 6, 2008

On April 6, 2008, Barack Obama visited the San Francisco region, zipping from event to event all day long, from one end of the Bay Area to the other.

What? you might ask. How did I miss that? If only I had known, I would have gone to see him.

Well, there's a reason you didn't know about it. Obama didn't want you to know about it. Because the events he was attending weren't for people like you.

They were for people with lots and lots of money, who use that money to gain access and influence with politicians -- especially politicians who might become president.

So although the San Francisco Bay Area is probably the most pro-Obama section of the entire country, with Obama signs and stickers visible everywhere you turn, when Obama himself actually visited his electoral home base, he ignored the hoi polloi -- all the little people who swoon over him -- and instead, he spent the entire day with the rich.

No mainstream was present, that's why when these "bitter" comments were made, they were in audio form only .. no press photogs.

This is what makes his comments all the more arrogant and revealing (if someone picks up on it), because this man of the people was identifying with THEM, the glitterati, and looking down on the peons .. who are so ignorant and pathetically peasantish as to value religion and the 2nd amendment and security at the borders. I've sent this to Rush .. hope he puts it out there... or somebody.

~~~~ WHAT OBAMA REALLY SAID - SHOWING THE EVENT. NOTE THE 'GOOD FOR US' COMMENT. He IS one of them in his mind.

Well!! Just found this -- MUST LISTEN ...YOU TUBE: SAVAGE IS ON TO HIM

A few teasers:

MUST read .... the whole article above ... with all the pretty pictures.

WOW -- Hillary's people got this video together fast ..good music, though.

[NormsRevenge]

[nomorelurker]

Great picture. Im almost sorry you posted it. Someone will now make an Indie Movie where most in the picture will go home to drugs, wife beating, suicide, etc. It might just win an Oscar.
