You had those yesterday? I hate you. We had "clouds" "wind" and, oh yes, "snow".

Actually tho...I think what happened (and agreeably so with what you said) is that people only dissected the part they found most offensive and ran with it as the knee jerk reaction that the media spin doctors were looking for...

Media loves sound bites and controversy. And if that's what is repeated, particularly since this speech wasn't done on camera for easy reference, that's what people hear. They're still saying "Obama's bitter comment" while talking about the original comment, his clarification, Clinton's response, and his response to her.

Reading thru others' responses made me really wonder if anyone had actually read the whole thing in context and in order and if they still would have gotten the same thing from it.

Some certainly would have. People who are already polarized are going to see anything he says as confirmation of their point of view.
