Senator Barack Obama fought back Saturday against accusations from his rivals that he had displayed a profound misunderstanding of small-town values, in a flare-up that left him on the defensive before a series of primaries that could test his ability to win over white voters in economically distressed communities.
For a second day, Mr. Obama sought to explain his remarks at a recent San Francisco fund-raiser that small-town Pennsylvania voters, bitter over their economic circumstances, “cling to guns or religion or antipathy to people who aren’t like them” as a way to explain their frustrations.
Acknowledging Saturday that “I didn’t say it as well as I should have,” he explained his remarks by focusing on his characterization of those voters’ economic woes. He meant, he said, that voters in places that had been losing jobs for years expressed their anxiety at the polls by focusing on cultural and social issues like gun laws and immigration.
Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton activated her entire campaign apparatus to portray Mr. Obama’s remarks as reflective of an elitist view of faith and community. His comments, she said, were “not reflective of the values and beliefs of Americans.”
Mrs. Clinton suggested that Mr. Obama saw religious commitment, hunting and concern about immigration as emotional responses to economic strain rather than as deeply embedded values.
“I grew up in a church-going family, a family that believed in the importance of living out and expressing our faith,” she said at a rally in Indianapolis. “The people of faith I know don’t ‘cling to’ religion because they’re bitter. People embrace faith not because they are materially poor, but because they are spiritually rich.”...

“It could mean he’s rendered himself unelectable,” Mr. Saunders said. “This is a perfect example of why Democrats lose elections.”

Indeed. I graduated from a state university and can articulate my thoughts better than this elitist tool.
Except, being a typical white person, won’t she be scared when she sees Obama with a gun?

Dumbo really thinks that all people will abandon God and freedom for a handout. Just some of them, Barry, no way all!
Ill-chosen my tuchis. Do you think Hillary or McCain could have run off a list of stuff inner-city Philadelphia Blacks turn to because they’re “bitter” and explain their racism away by saying “those words were ill-chosen?”
Senator Obama, you are an arrogant, elitist scumbag. Get Bent.

bump with no comment.
Obama = Racist, Marxist, Muslim, Anti-American, Black Radical....enough said....pretty straight forward...
Bullsh!t.

I would suggest that he quit now, go back to IL and be a currupt State Senator, with a wife who earns big bucks.
LOL. He better duck, next it's water skiing in the everglades. Typical.
SnobObama is still spinning like a top
Some of the nuts on DU are contending this incident was a very positive thing for Obama?!?
Well said. They can't understand it because their heads are full of nonsense ala Rev. Wright, Saul Alinsky, Marx, etc. Billary's attempt to exploit this blunder is interesting.
I hope this helps to destroy the donkeys - as in blows them up to smithereens. We need a loyal opposition for a change.
LOL!
What I love is that this is from the guy who claims to “pray to Jesus every night.” Which is it OVomit, are you a proud, devout Christian like you have recently claimed, or are you something else who suggests that bitterness is what drives people to “cling” to religion?
On a positive note, I am enjoying watching him grab shovel after shovel and keep digging!
All this is coming out at the wrong time for us, as it can only help the witch, who is by far the worst outcome for all of us. I am out of breath saying “take her out now, then him later”. I’m not sure the reverse of this is possible.
The obligatory “I’m-running-for-president-duck-hunting” photo op.
What is McCain looses?
Who is the least dangerous of the two as president, Hillary, or Obama?
I say Obama is far more dangerous.
