It seems that you are on par with Barack in thinking that these issues are only so important because of the state the country is in now. It's just not true. And how could you (or Obama) assume that it is when it's very clear that he doesn't lean on these things.
Overall, I thought it was very crude and disrespectful of him to say what he did. And I don't think that those who were truly insulted will be able to look at him the same way again.

DeamonSeid,

Thank you for once again, bring absolutely nothing noteworthy to the discussion. I appreciate your hypocrisy.

I'm late, but guuss what...

you are a clown...it's called 'jokes'.

If you released your clenched up @sshole long enough you would have realized that...

I don't know about you, but I live on planet Earth, and that is not the way things are.




I'm late too- I knew it was a joke.
It gets under my skin everytime you get pissed off when someone posts something you don't like unrelated to the topic at hand, and then you post some lame joke that isn't even funny. (alright, maybe some others thought it was clever)
I'm too easy.

Easy...?

Like a 2 dollar hoe in a 5 dollar whorehouse huh....?

(Mama never taught this one that sometimes a man should keep some things to himself...)

Nice to know I am your irritant....LOL

Now I know what to do to bug the hell out of ya....


Yes...you are too easy.

Like I said before - unless you know what it's like to live in a Rust Belt town (or to have to live with your home being called the Rust Belt, for that matter) you have no idea what he was talking about. I do, and I can say that everything he said was dead on. If John McCain had said it, everyone would be like "yes, he's so right, I'm sick of being bitter, I want to believe in government again." But if a black guy who went to Harvard says it, he's an elitist insulting everyone. "Keep in your place, boy."

again...let's forget the fact that all of the other candidates went to schools too....like....uhhh...Welleslley (sp) Yale and the Naval Academy....so do they all qualify as elitists?

Oh come on, that is absolutely ridiculous. It wouldn't have mattered if the person that said those comments was whiter than white can be, they had an elitist slant to them. The man that said them may not be elitist...but the comments were. If they were perfectly "normal" and "true" and "dead on" then nobody should have a problem with it. Am I not correct?

........and enough with the freaking "you just don't like what he said because he's educated and black". It's time for that idiotic trend to cease.

Most of the people in the towns that he said it about DON'T have a problem with it. The ones who do are probably aghast that a black man has gotten this far in the first place and weren't going to vote for him (or God forbid, a woman) anyway.

Hillary did an ad with "normal people" "from PA" saying how offended they were...none of the people look in the least bit poor, and one of the guys is from NJ and can't even vote in the PA primary.

They were indeed academically phrased. He sounded like a sociologist, not a politician.

However I think my, and other's, clarifications were not in a "you should so totally understand this stupid morons" perspective, but a "here's what he said he meant, and what the context of the statement was."

(Last part of that more addressed at whoever objected two pages ago)

For sure. I understand what he was trying to say...I just think he could have chosen a better way to express it.

33, I believe you that people in these small communities don't have a problem with it. I could say a lot of true things about people that they would probably have to agree with......doesn't mean I won't sound like an ass saying them.
