At a fund raiser Obama said:
It's not surprising, then, they get bitter, they cling to guns or religion or antipathy to people who aren't like them or anti-immigrant sentiment or anti-trade sentiment as a way to explain their frustrations.
Clinton immediately called Obama "elitist" and "out of touch" with average Americans. She has put out an ad that says the same thing. So McCain followed suit. And why not? This is a tactic directly out of the Karl Rove playbook.
Obama shot back that he mangled his words but he does not retract his basic idea that the average person's economic fortune has deteriorated badly.
Definitely. Gas prices and food prices are gong through the roof, while the average guy's income is stagnating if not decreasing. Our dollar is worth less and less each day. Jobs are being cut and sent overseas - outsourcing. The country's debt has reached the stratosphere - 64% of the GDP. Healthcare is out of reach for many. So are college tuition costs. The list goes on.
Today I read that Clinton did not change people's minds about Obama. I find this very encouraging. Americans are beginning to see the huge difference between Clinton and Obama. Voting for Clinton will give us the same polarizing and backbiting political talk that we have had for too many years. Voting for Obama will bring a change in the political atmosphere: Conservatives and liberals will talk to each other!
Of course, there is no guarantee everybody's wish will be fulfilled. This is impossible. But at least the country will be at peace with itself - and ready to solve problems.
One can say that, through her constant attacks, Clinton has done Obama a favor. She has demonstrated for all to see that Obama truly represents a change while she represents the same old, same old... From the "bitter" remarks our fortunes have become sweeter - bitter-sweet.
