Clinton: Obama Blaming Voters For His Own Failures

Hillary Clinton appeared before the Alliance For American Manufacturing Forum today in Pittsburgh, and continued to attack Barack Obama for his "small town" comments first posted on the Huffington Post.

Clinton hit Obama for saying voters are bitter over their economic situation, suggesting that Obama was projecting his own political failings onto voters:

"I am well aware that at a fundraiser in San Francisco, he said some things that many people in Pennsylvania and beyond Pennsylvania have found offensive. He was explaining to a small group of his donors what people who live in small towns right here in Pennsylvania are like and why some of you aren't voting for him. But instead of looking at himself, he blamed them.

"He said that they cling to religion and guns and dislike people who are different from them. Well, I don't believe that. I believe that people don't cling to religion, they value their faith. You don't cling to guns, you enjoy hunting or collecting or sport shooting.

"I don't think he really gets it that people are looking for a president who stands up for you and not looks down on you.

When Clinton raised the issue, some in the crowd responded with jeers and shouts of "noo!" Watch video of that exchange here.

I do not understand Hillary's motivation for behaving like she has.

[Teritt]

I think she's desperate and getting bad advice from her campaign.

[Manx]

After the Clinton campaign trashed Obama's pastor and Hillary commented that McCain would make a better commander-in-chief than Obama, an NBC-WSJ national poll showed that only 35 per cent viewed Hillary favorably. Bill's negative ratings went up as well. So, when she slimes Obama, it hurts her in the polls and also undermines the Democratic party. She still doesn't get it.

If this continues..
You can feel good for a while about hating your SO CALLED OPPONENT, but you"re still broke!!!, OR frustrated, OR on the verge of calamity at the whim of an employer, paying $50.00- $65.00 to fill up your tank and now you must reposition the hatred you had ( especially if your person loses) towards someone or something else..in the meantime while you search for a new recipient of you vindictiveness, another plant, job, or factory has left AMERICA. We really can get along..and we can agree to disagree, however this countries citizenry has been played like a finely tuned violin, we want to raise our families, OR live in peace earn a good living, and even sometimes yes..be left alone. Most of you fighting have more in common with each others goals and desires than you will ever take the time to explore¦this is our chance to take back our country for the COMMON good and Man¦Stop, Look, Listen, Read¦but stay together!!!!

If THIS IS THE dEMOCRATIC pARTY I want no part of it. I have been a registered republican for years...if this is how ignorant the people have become to let themselves be played and divided so easily...good by.

[julescator]

Maybe one day you will figure out that you vote for the ISSUES. At that point you will have become an Adult! As they say, people get the government they deserve. People like you have assisted in getting the worse President in American History. Congratulations!

[RobinVZB]

The problem with voting on the issues is that Clinton and Obama are virtually identical on the issues. It juse the standard party line. So then, how do you decide? Do you look at experience? Do you look at personal attributes? Based on the issues, I don't want to see a Republican in the WHite House. SO what do I do?

[MRCJJOHNS]

You know people, this whole fallacy of fairness and accuracy in the media is a joke. You ALLOW THEM TO take a few WORDS turn them, spin them, and they become hate speech, most of you need to look at a few things on both sides, if you read..READ, where these two really stand...on the issues and NON ISSUES ALIKE...and be honest with yourselves...YOURSELVES!!!!...most of you know the media

AND THE REAL POWERFUL want US FIGHTING!!! then who gets back in...THEM!!!!

THE PEOPLE WHO HAVE ROBBED OUR NATIONAL TREASURE, SUBVERTED OUR CONSTITUTION, AND SHIPPED THE MIDDLE CLASS OVER SEAS.

Stop being obtuse!!! This party is showing some real prejudices¦¦.what has this entire immature name calling gained the average American life??? This has gone on for thirty years and are you really saying your dEMOCRATES only if you"re Lady or Man wins¦yes I will agree objectively, Hillary is behaving very republicaness to win at all cost¦yes¦..but that is no need for name calling or mud slinging among the electorate¦BE SMARTER THAN THIS!!!! how many of us live in mansions with great health care and $$millions for our future¦but you want to knock the head off your neighbor while they will go back to their lives in Upper Society and power regardless of the outcome¦we are all Americans!!!!!!!!!! WE ARE IN THE SAME BOAT¦¦¦
THE POLITICIANS ARE AND THEIR CRONIES ARE on
Luxury Private Planes flying over us all!!!

to be continued..

[julescator]

You forgot to mention the $3 trillion price tag on the Iraq war. The $4.3 billion a month in disability payments we are currently paying to the Gulf War vets (1 month war) Imagine what the bill will be for the currently wounded and disable from this mess in Iraq.

[utopiandrive]

Hillary is such a pathetic hack it's becoming painful to watch her.

[paciere]

another failure that voters didn't vote for Obama.
Meet the other half of Barack Obama: Michelle Obama

This is the candidate Barack Obama is about. If you can't see it, then i don't know what to say to you. Good luck on who you vote for.

[julescator]

You're a tad late if you are suggesting that we don't vote for Obama. He is winning. You can YOUTUBE your fingers off but that won't change our vote. Sorry we want CHANGE!

[paciere]

you can say the same thing. people want change, so they voted for President Bush. and again, if you think voting for a person that is winning, but you got it all wrong, John Kerry lost. when Clinton is the highest probability of winning the general election, you don't think Hillary Clinton can deliver Change?

The last bastion of a scoundrel..... attacking the man's wife. Really............ Have you no sense of decency, Sir?

Between the desire, And the spasm
Between the potency, And the existence
Between the essence, And the descent

For Thine is, Life is, For Thine is the

This is the way the world ends
This is the way the world ends
This is the way the world ends
Not with a bang but a whimper.

[paciere]

people are also attacking a man's (Bill Clinton) wife. look who's talking now.
thanks for speaking up.

I'm going to give you extra credit and a cupcake for that stinger line you have there.
Obama- the clear choice....... . If you have any trouble getting on the short bus there Skippy, give me a shout.

[Apache6]

ya just can't take it, can ya? excellent come back. what are you? 13?

"CLINTON - the clear choice when you confuse SNIPER FIRE with FLOWERS"

[timinhi]

And I suppose you never attacked Hillary's husband, right? Or for that matter, you had nothing but reverence for Hillary while Bill was President? I don't know if I'd use the word "scoundrel," but the word "hypocrite" comes to mind. For better or worse, these people, political spouses, have put themselves in the public eye. They've made their cases for their candidate/spouses, and even criticized their opponents. That makes them fair game.

[paciere]

what's there to attack Bill Clinton on? his biggest fault in my opinion was Monica Lewinsky since then some people didn't like Bill Clinton. that's what sickens me about girls or women in America, doing things crazy. everyone know real man's weakness is 'females.' there's more females than males in this world. why you think many men in DC are scared of Hillary Clinton, huh? she's the victim of a cheating husband. what could she possibly do about it when she becomes the President, huh? unlimited accomplishments. what if she approved a law about illegalizing act of Prostitution by women then men. what if she can give more benefits and increase salary to all hard-working women out there to succeed their husband. That's because she's been inside the White House and seen Bill Clinton worked while she worked as First Lady role. it's okay if you don't want to vote for Hillary Clinton because she's a woman and a wife of Bill Clinton. hope to all who produces alot of females kids 85% chance will end up like a slut sleeping more than 3 partners while males at least 5+ females every 7 out 10 guys. face the fact, that's the america culture we live in. brought by the media, music industries, peers and your parents. in this country, there's more sexism than racism.

[IslandGyal]

paciere,
LMAO, and what is your point exactly? America has seen the tapes and sound bytes. We are voting for Obama for President of the United States of America. Get use to it, President Obama; say it again, President Obama, President Obama, President Obama. Sounds good doesn't it?

[paciere]

keep watching the sound bites if that's what you call it after all the things said and acted. if it doesn't mean a thing, maybe if you watch a sound bite when someone sticks their middle finger at you still don't mean a thing to you. you only want to hear what you want to hear. you can keep chanting President Obama, it must have filled your room with his name on it. have fun, that's because he will lose Pennsylvania.

[seattleblogger]

We all know Obama is probably going to lose Pennsylvania, you idiot! He is still going to win the nomination and the Presidency.

[LawOfAttraction]

God damn, that has a nice ring to it, doesn't it?

President Obama...

I can hear the news reports now...

"Earlier today, PRESIDENT OBAMA speaking before the United Nations set forth a bold new initiative aimed at forging a renewable energy alliance between Europe, Asian and North America"

(sigh). I can almost see it now....

[paciere]

lmao. you can as well join IslandGyal.


"God damn, that has a nice ring to it, doesn't it? President Obama...-LawOfAttraction" sounds good to you right? it must be!


'God Damn America' - Rev. Jeremiah Wright
sound bite or go watch the whole sermon, probably still sounds good to you, too! you can join Obama's church as well. don't forget to bring your young children or nephews or nieces if you have any. if Rev. Jeremiah Wright doesn't offend you at all, then you're not really an American, you're either Obama's follower or (Obama is an apprentice or follower since Wright is his mentor) Wright's follower.

[IslandGyal]

Susan Rice also said that Hil-liar-y wasn't ready. IF you believe her about Obama, then she's to be believed about Hil-liar-y Clinton too, or is that not enough selective picking for you?

[paciere]

you're right about Susan Rice. funny as hell someone on your side don't believe on you. that's where hope and change comes in play.


Obama is a hypocrite who doesn't wear American flag pin and now recently he does. lmao, let's see how long he'll be wearing it.


"OBAMA - the clear choice when you confuse empty platitudes like HOPE and CHANGE with an actual plan"

[seattleblogger]

That's it? That's your big issue? The lack of an American flag pin? Now I know you're an idiot. What kind of issue is that? Do you really think someone would spend the time and effort (not to mention putting up with moronic comments from people like you) if they weren't somewhat patriotic? Get a grip, and please work on your writing skills.

[JiminNC]

What a gunch! Obama supporters don't hate anyone but we vehemently reject Hillary Clinton and her politics of destruction. Hill-drones can smack all you want but your candidate is a sore loser and by proxy, you as well.

A true blue Democrat?

[realitycheck2008]

Nice to see all the Obama supporters continuing their campaign of hate.
You say Obama is a man of the people. I disagree. Obama is just another Harvard educated lawyer turned politician. He may be concerned with the price of arugla at Whole Foods, but most Americans are more concerned about the cost of milk at the local market.

[LawOfAttraction]

And silver-spoon born, former Walmart union-busting attorney and board member, Wellesley and Yale University graduate, gazillionaire (109 million!!) Hillary Clinton is a salt-of-the-earth, blue collar American, right?

It's time for YOUR reality check, RealityCheck..

Wake up and smell the Clinton..

[paciere]

"Wake up and smell the Clinton.." - LawOfAttraction

LMAO. somebody don't like Clintons.

he probably prefer the Obamas. .

Wake up and smell the Obama.. long time. you can donate $2,500 or more to Obama's campaign everytime he ask for one. that's the amount that Obama's brag about middle-class people donate when he was in California.

[IslandGyal]

realitycheck2008,
Somebody sounds bitter....

[missjabez]

You know your argument can be turned on its head, realitycheck. One could also say Hillary is just another Yale-educated politician--not that I think a fine education is anything to be ashamed of. If you're fooled by Hillary's gun-totin' beer-guzzlin-gal of the people act, I feel sorry for you.

[Apache6]

Clinton supporter MOLLYE is sure he's a radical and you've got him down on the Charles River tailgating the Harvard Regatta with a fondue giving people the secret insider handshake. Man, now MY brain stem is starting to hurt.

[tristan90us]

Ask anyone who went to Harvard Law School and they will tell you that being editor of the Law Review, as Obama was, is a very big deal. He is a world class, elite scholar, a lightening fast learner, a startlingly innovative politician and shows none of the fakery that the Clintons exhibit.
...and you know about Obama's taste for arugula, how? I'll bet you'll think that the fact that he probably even knows how to spell it is another signifier of his campaign of hate.
We need people of his high caliber for our leaders no matter what they eat or where they buy their food.

[Vern58]

Sure thing. And HRC, sitting on her 109 million dollar nest egg really understands the common man? Get a grip.
