Barack Obama … Is this the Change that America Needs? Obama’s Small Town Comments …

Barack Obama has put his foot in his mouth one more time. This time making reference to “Small Town” America at a fund raiser in San Francisco, CA. The man who says he is a leader of all, hardly talks the talk. Is Barack Obama really what he or the media portray him to be? Is he really Presidential material?

You go into these small towns in Pennsylvania and, like a lot of small towns in the Midwest, the jobs have been gone now for 25 years and nothing’s replaced them. And they fell through the Clinton administration, and the Bush administration, and each successive administration has said that somehow these communities are gonna regenerate and they have not.

And it’s not surprising then they get bitter, they cling to guns or religion or antipathy toward people who aren’t like them or anti-immigrant sentiment or anti-trade sentiment as a way to explain their frustrations.

And they fell through the Clinton administration, and the Bush administration, and each successive administration has said that somehow these communities are gonna regenerate and they have not. And 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.

UPDATE I: Hillary Clinton Fires back at Obama’s Comments on Faith and Guns.

First Hillary Clinton commented on Obama’s comments that Pennsylvania’s were bitter. Now she hammers Obama on the rest of his comments in which he linked economic frustration to clinging to religion and guns.

“Sen. Obama’s remarks are elitist, and they are out of touch,” Clinton said. “The people of faith I know don’t ‘cling to’ religion because they’re bitter. … I also disagree with Sen. Obama’s assertion that people in this country ‘cling to guns’ and have certain attitudes about immigration or trade simply out of frustration. People of all walks of life hunt — and they enjoy doing so because it’s an important part of their life, not because they are bitter.”

UPDATE II: Obama Apologizes Again … “If I offended, I deeply regret that …”

The not ready to be President candidate, Barack Obama, once again finds himself having to apologize for remarks and associations that he has made.

“Obviously, if I worded things in a way that made people offended, I deeply regret that,” Obama said in an interview with the Winston-Salem Journal, according to a transcript provided by his campaign.

Barack Obama has “ZERO” experience to the the Commander and Chief of the United States. Obama has no foreign policy experience, he has no track record of important or substantive legislation. All Obama has is a message of  “CHANGE”. Obama is supposed to be this great and wise communicator of words that is supposed to appeal to America. However, then why does he continually have to apoligize and say, “if I worded things in a way that made people offended, I deeply regret that.” Barack Obama isn’t even good at communicating.

UPDATE III: Will Obama’s “mouth in foot” comment provide Hillary Clinton with a political opportunity?

One thing is for certain, if Hillary Clinton does not capitalize on Obama’s commnets … John McCain will. Can’t one see the bumper sticker now … I’m not bitter, I’m just better … VOTE FOR MCCAIN 2008.

Political insiders differed on whether Obama’s comments, which came to light Friday, would become a full-blown political disaster that could prompt party leaders to try to steer the nomination to Clinton even though Obama has more pledged delegates. Clinton supporters were eagerly hoping so.

They handed out “I’m not bitter” stickers in North Carolina, and held a conference call of Pennsylvania mayors to denounce the Illinois senator. In Indiana, Clinton did the work herself, telling plant workers in Indianapolis that Obama’s comments were “elitist and out of touch.”

Clinton called Obama’s remarks “elitist,” “demeaning” and “out of touch”
