On Monday, Senator Barack Obama and Senator Hillary Clinton came to Pittsburgh for substantive dialogue about their trade policies and, particularly, how they plan to address China's unfair trade practices. The Alliance for American Manufacturing, a labor-management, non-partisan partnership, hosted the forum and rightly put the candidates on the spot...

I am one of the "bitter" people living in a small steel town in Pennsylvania. My father passed away from the silt that he swallowed for forty years. My husband is withering away from the same cancer-causing dust he swallowed for nearly forty years too. The bills are mounting and...

In the aftermath of the now famous "bitter" remarks by Presidential candidate Barack Obama, an observer of the Democratic primary season might have hoped for a renewed interest in proposals for making the US economy work better and fairer for working class and middle income Americans. Unfortunately, media interest...

There's been much talk about the white working class in recent days, but few white working class voices in the debate. Carl Davidson is white working class to his core, an early leader of Students for a Democratic Society, one of the key organizers of the 2002 Chicago anti-war rally...

Hold up, let me just get this gun back in my gun rack. I had it out after Church. No, not to go see the His Extreme Narrowmindedness in New York. I'm not the kind of gal.

I know it's not fair to take Barack Obama's words out of...

A lot of Democrats must be secretly contemplating Barack Obama's electability after another "I misspoke" moment ("Americans are bitter").

Recent gaffe's and unexpected revelations have given us an insight into the Senator's judgement and character.

When Michelle Obama said that she wasn't proud of her country (the country that...

Watching the consternation among the TV pundits on Barack Obama's "bitter" comments is getting downright hilarious. After days of near universal agreement that this was going to absolutely crush Obama, how more than one pundit said this was the "greatest present ever given to Hillary Clinton," it turns out that...

Watching John McCain try to capitalize on Sen. Barack Obama's "bitter" comments last week, one can't help but wonder how much better Mike Huckabee would have done.

There are two major mistakes that can be made in Washington, DC. One is to be caught telling a lie. The other is to be caught telling the truth. Based on recent experience, the second evokes more outrage than the first.

Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton's rendition of her excellent Bosnia...

My friend Joe (not his real name) looked up from my Barcalounger, which he's been hogging all week. One tentacle held the remote, the other an empty bag of Smartfood.

"I have two questions for you," he said. "The briefing papers I read on the way here gave the impression...

Senator Obama's ill-conceived remarks likening small town Americans to embittered guns-and-God bigots have triggered a justifiable furor. Not only are the remarks insulting, but also factually incorrect.

As it happens, at the same event in San Francisco, Senator Obama made other remarks, equally startling, insulting our Foreign Service, Intelligence...

She had her chance at being part of the Dream Team, although not at the top of the ticket as she had hoped, however her Swiftboating of Obama with her "bitter" new ad campaign sank any hope she might have had of rescuing her campaign from abject defeat. I'm not...
