Obama's remarks gives Clinton an opening

A political tempest over Barack Obama's comments about bitter voters in small towns has given rival Hillary Rodham Clinton a new opening to court working class Democrats 10 days before Pennsylvanians hold a primary that she must win to keep her presidential campaign alive.

He is so stupid, small town voters are his base. I hope that he continues to put his foot in his mouth.

Lol, Obama is slipping under pressure. "I feel sorry for those peons who aren't smart enough to realize that I am destined to be their leader. It's just because they are gun-crazy religious white people who are unhappy with the rising tide of us powerful Black people who will swamp them eventually. Oooooops, did I say that out loud? Didn't mean it. Sorry!"

He made the comments privately. Does Clinton have spies reporting on every move he makes? Of all the things he's done, is this all the that they are capable of unearthing? The guy said small town folks are frustrated and that they cling to red herrings as a source to distract them from hopelessness and offer a scapegoat to which they can release their frustrations on. Is he lying? Is that not what the GOP has been playing on since 1968? Is that not the only reason a corrupt fool like George W. Bush is president? How do you explain the recent phenomena in the media that has brought us vitriolic blowhards like Rush Limbaugh, Bill O'Reilly, Sean Hannity, Lou Dobbs, etc. Obama was telling the truth. Leave it to Hillary to call someone out for not lying, as in her twisted vision is the only right thing to do. She really needs to go away for good. She is horrible as a person, let alone as a candidate for the highest office.

The Clintons must win all remaining primaries by over 20% in order to break even with Obama in both the delegate count and the popular vote. Clinton supporters are like bargain minded lemmings on the way to a suicide sale.

Barack Obama got away with refusing to wear an American flag.

He got away with having a wife who said she had never felt proud to be an American.

He got away with spending 20 years intimately involved with a Afro-centric Racist Church.

So I'm afraid we will also let him get away with dissing small-town America.

This is what FIGGS wrote...do you honestly believe he is brilliant? Do you even want to align yourself with someone that thinks this kind of stuff? Sounds like someone that has no respect for woman. I wouldn't doubt that he has raped women. Politica, do you really want to call someone who is insane...brilliant?

FIGGS - "An open letter to jujubee,
It seems that incendiary banter is what sails your schooner. I would reply in kind, but I'm too tired and -yes, I must admit- too old. Instead of some childish diatribe, let me be the adult and relate to you a true story. Instead of insulting you, I'll try and impart some of the wisdom I've picked up through my years. One night many years ago, your mother provided a great night for me and twelve of my good buddies for the reasonable price of two dollars. We drilled her viciously and unrelentingly, but she took it like the tiger that she is. She constantly begged for more throughout the duration of her passionate screams. We were shocked at the high level of masochist your mother is. The more blood we drew, the closer she arrived to ecstasy. She reveled in the pain, like a good well trained whore. Why do I tell you this story? The thing about your sweet toothless mother is that she knew her worth, much like you must one day. She knew that she lacks the mental facilities to do anything other than whore herself out throughout different ports and truck stops. You have to realize that your destiny lies in flipping burgers. You must accept that you weren't born for any other sort of destiny. Let the educated grown-ups conduct the political discourse and let your mother ice down her crotch from working it all those years. By the way, tell her you love her. It'll be the first time she's heard that and I know she'll appreciate it.
ps: If you'd like to get personal, I can get personal."

While the CLINTONS go searching for profits overseas and sell off our jobs, if some average Americans are not ANGRY and BITTER they'd better damned well get used to being LAUGHED at and PUT DOWN when Hillary Clinton is asked about Foreign Deals that make them RICH-ER and out-source our jobs and undercut our wages and step on our Unions. Hillary Clinton refuses to take voters seriously and believes that her LAUGHS and JOKES are a substitute for the Real world of struggling Americans. Go ahead Hillary ,make a fool of US working-class Americans. When Hillary Clinton worked her high paid job Director making policies for Wal Mart for 6 years, that was her training ground for creating a working-class of low wage workers while using the out-sourced labor of foreigners to bring the goods to to mega-businesses that keep wages down. The CLINTONS are CORPORATE ELITES and believe they deserve to have Average Americans serve them. Clinton thinks she has the right to inherit the "throne". Angry, economically disfranchised workers are BITTER,BETTER BELIEVE it! I wouldn't vote for Hillary Clinton-EVER!

Is there a requirement to wear a flag pin?

Hey jujubee,
An editor may only post or write stories for Topix. An editor may only edit or delete stories posted or written by the same editor. I just volunteer for this, i do not create the system.
I would suggest you choose to report abuse with this sad little post from Figgs. Certainly do not re-post this type of verbal refuse from the likes of Figgs.

"Hillary's Last Hope" by: LAWRENCE B. LINDSEY

Here's the link to the Wall Street Journal article:

http://online.wsj.com/article/SB1206579502861...

I think the article says just about everything that needs to be said about why Senator Obama wants Michigan and Florida to please go away.

So Miller did I tell them I had sex with their mother? If you want to condone that type of behavior or even attempt to justify it then you are just as deranged as Figgs.
