of how we are being screwed by the Obamas of the world, unfortunately. They have all the power and we have none. And now they want us to elect one of them and they are telling us HE is a progressive.

Hillary Clinton has more HEART and understanding of all Americans in her little finger than Barack Obama has in his entire body.

For example, look at Barack's heathcare plan. The devil is in the details. If you get sick, you could pay MANY TIMES under Obama what you do under Clintons. THERE'S NO LIMIT! Sure, you can't be turned away. Pre-existing conditions? NO PROB - IF YOU HAVE THE MONEY TO MAKE IT PROFITABLE FOR THEM.. ALL OF IT, if not, SORRY..no coverage..

THEY HAVE A LOT OF NERVE...

The intricacies..we understand the intricacies of multi-thousand dollar bills for the difference between what Obama's 'affordable' plan pays and what things REALLY COST.

Read the fine print. No wonder they keep telling us again and again 'they are almost the same'.

What about the insurers increasing use of
rescission to dump sick people?

Listen to Elizabeth Edwards.. Obama's plan is half a plan. Hillary's is MUCH BETTER.

What concerns me is how the media is framing the story. They refuse to provide any context at all, and simply repeat "Barack Obama called Pen. voters 'bitter'!".

Saying this, makes it seem like Obama was saying that rural americans are UNJUSTLY bitter or are simply feeling "sour grapes". This is the negative connotation that comes with the term "bitter", since its often used in a condescending way to refer to someone who is simply griping about their circumstances.

However, it is clear that Obama was saying that rural Americans have every right to be bitter, and was actually explaining why they SHOULD be bitter.

Just listen to how this Fox Reporter asks these voters about the controversy...(DailyKos link) ... at least their responses are encouraging.

Did you watch Hillary on CNN's Compassion Forum tonight?

Hillary was asked who she would turn to for moral or spiritual guidance on difficult decisions, and she responded that she would surround herself not just with people she agreed with, but also with people she strongly DISAGREED with. She stressed the importance of listening to opposing views -- and not being dismissive of them -- multiple times during her answer.

It was a great answer, and I took this as Clinton's validation of Obama's relationship with his former pastor. That is exactly the relationship that Obama had with Wright.

Hillary's response to Obama's comments are the worst kind of political opportunism. Hillary is in no position to label Obama an elite, and his comments are apparently not substantially different from statements that the Clintons have made in the past.

Here's Harvard's Theda Skocpol on the hypocrisy of Bittergate:

I have been in meetings with the Clintons and their advisors where very clinical things were said in a very-detached tone about unwillingness of working class voters to trust government -- and Bill Clinton -- and about their unfortunate (from a Clinton perspective) proclivity to vote on life-style rather than economic issues ...This has to be one of the few times in U.S. political history when a multi-millionaire has accused a much less wealthy fellow public servant, a person of the same party and views who made much less lucrative career choices, of "elitism"!
