Do you really want a “sophisticated candidate” who will make sanitized statements which do not risk offending anyone but which don’t really say anything? We already have standard “sophisticated” candidates like Hillary Clinton and John McCain–both of whom are striving to give us a another term of Bush-style politics.

Isn’t it great??!! I have watched it three times. This is what we want to hear. Give ‘em hell Barack!

Is Mr. Obama An Anti-Gun, Anti-Religion, Out Of Touch, Liberal Elitist?
Of COURSE — as is the case with Senators “Panama” John McCain and Sir Hillary Diane Rodham Clinton…
First, Hillary. We’re not ev…

anti-trade sentiment as a way to explain their frustrations.

.. as just breathe taking in regard to the fact that just the day before House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) had taken the Columbian Free Trade agreement out of contention for an up or down vote.

But why would Nancy Pelosi be bitter ?

But alas, here was the leading contender for the Democratic nomination for POTUS basically saying that this was a cynical act, probably a cynical political act which was not in the interest of the nation, but nonetheless standard Democratic fare of the day.

Does Obama believe that Pelosi and the House are that cynical or bitter ?

I will watch and wait for an answer.

“Barack Obama is a remarkably eloquent man and turning into a remarkably capable politician. But if the Senator believes it’s smart to insult voters from a state critical to your success, he’s hit one of the worst false notes yet in his campaign.

Yeah, I know what his campaign said, and that may have been what he meant. But a sophisticated candidate doesn’t refer to voters in language that can be construed as derogatory or insulting. Obama asserted Pennsylvania voters are bitter and so simple and lacking in maturity and intelligence that they address their frustration by clinging to primitive and reactionary crutches rather than addressing their problems in constructive ways.

It’s divisive. And not the way to attract the voters you need most.”
