ALT-CTL-ELITE
Compare and Contrast...
That was good
more small town bashing...
That was one of Maher's best ever, esp finishing with the Robertson law school bimbo not hiring a Robertson law school grad to defend her, but a real lawyer from a real law school.
McCain and Hillary are both long-time "elite" Washington insiders, with 10s of $Ms net worth above Obama's. Obama is "elite"? GMAFB
I'd like Obama to end this bull elite attack with another speech like he had for the Wright attack.
And Hilllary is saying her attacks on Obama are giving ammo to the Repugs? WTF? WTF? Then Hillary should stop attacking Obama with bull , gotcha attacks.
Hillary is pro-Hillary and the Dems and everbody else. Hillary is more pro-McCain, and helpful to McCain, than most of the Repugs.
I'm hearing things that she will only barely win PA, maybe even lose it, which will be another huge nail in her coffin, which already doesn't need any more nails. She'll arrive at the convention in a coffin, dead, dead, dead, with Obama probably seriously wounded by her lying bull .

Right wingers? I thought the right wingers WERE the elite? Bill is a pimp. The repugs are the rich white guys. Isn't that how it works?

I thought it was the dems who like to put on shows to the non-elite out there that they are going after the elite?
They are in government. They get to rape the country and party all night. They are ALL the ing elite lmao.

Clinton = evil,
obama = good..
What's really funny is that all the Dems were sucking Bill Clinton's not so long ago. Everyone was saying that they wish Bill Clinton could've had a third term and all that jazz.
Now, Bill Clinton is persona non grata.
He's supposed to represent everything that's wrong.
Now, the "Clinton" name is indicative of something evil.
This shows just how fickle the Democrat Party is.
Whatever.
The liberal media found somebody they like better than the Clintons.
It happens.

You are such a lap dog. As much as you bash W. for being elite and big oil, Obama is right there with him, only with a fascist liberal slant. I guess you dig that perspective, but Obama's every bit the prick towards the common American as W.
Because the Clintons are your typical gun toting, bible thumping small town folks. With $100 mil in the bank or whatever. And a house in a pleasant wealthy NYC exurb.
Senator Obama may have made his point a little differently, but it's true nonetheless. Politicians trot out these hot button non-issues every election in order to prey on the citizenry's emotions and spur them to the voting booth.
I'm glad that what cons utes political discourse in this country is a bunch of millionaire senators pretending to worry about gun rights and churchgoing.
What a stupid ing country.
Well evidently the media has found somebody they like
better than Osama, I mean Obama.........read the story
and you will know what I am talking about.....

For Obama and McCain, the Bitter and the Sweet
By Dana Milbank
Tuesday, April 15, 2008; A03
So much for the liberal media.
John McCain and Barack Obama both appeared before the nation's newspaper editors yesterday. The putative Republican presidential nominee was given a box of doughnuts and a standing ovation. The likely Democratic nominee was likened to a terrorist.
At a luncheon for the editors hosted by the Associated Press, AP Chairman Dean Singleton quizzed Obama about whether he would send more troops to Afghanistan, where "Obama bin Laden is still at large?"
"I think that was Osama bin Laden," the candidate answered.
"If I did that, I'm so sorry!" Singleton said.
"This," Obama told the editors, is "part of the exercise that I've been going through over the last 15 months."
Bitter, are we?
The past few days have left a bad taste in the mouth of the Democratic front-runner. In his worst gaffe of the campaign, he asserted (in San Francisco!) that Middle Americans have turned to God and guns and against immigrants because they are "bitter" about their economic lot.
That let Hillary Clinton and McCain portray Obama as a member of the effete elite, alongside John Kerry (Turnbull & Asser shirts) and John Edwards ($400 haircuts). Regular gal Clinton (Wellesley '69, Yale Law '73, family income $109 million since her husband left the White House) even made the point by tossing back a shot of Crown Royal at a bar in Indiana on Saturday night.
To shed the elitist label and regain his common-man credentials, Obama picked an inau ious venue -- the annual gathering of the media elite, the American Society of Newspaper Editors. The result is likely to make the Democrat even more bitter. On the same day, the two media darlings of the presidential election cycle came to address their base -- and McCain easily bested his likely opponent.
McCain's moderators, the AP's Ron Fournier and Liz Sidoti, greeted McCain with a box of Dunkin' Donuts. "We spend quite a bit of time with you on the back of the Straight Talk Express asking you questions, and what we've decided to do today was invite everyone else along on the ride," Sidoti explained. "We even brought you your favorite treat."
McCain opened the offering. "Oh, yes, with sprinkles!" he said.
Sidoti passed him a cup. "A little coffee with a little cream and a little sugar," she said.
The dueling appearances by McCain and Obama nicely captured the current dynamic in the presidential cycle. McCain, his nomination secure, had the luxury to joke and pander. Obama, wounded by the Democrats' internecine fighting, was defensive and somber.
Singleton, Obama's moderator, pointed out that a new poll showed the Democrat had lost the 10-point lead over McCain that he had in February. "The fact that our contest is still going on means that John McCain comes in here, and he's feeling pretty good," Obama answered. "He can be a little more deliberate and pace himself. And that probably explains the close in the polls."
McCain was indeed in high spirits as he entered the ballroom and invited the editors' "questions, comments or insults." Reading from a teleprompter, McCain said he was among friends. "I made a decision to be as accessible to the press as the press would prefer me to be, and perhaps even more than they would prefer." Accepting the doughnuts, McCain had a gift for the editors, too -- his support for a law shielding reporters from identifying their sources.
This left everybody in a good mood for the criticism of Obama that McCain tacked on the end of his speech. Americans don't "turn to their religious faith and cultural traditions out of resentment," he said. The candidate then took a seat with the two AP reporters and crossed his legs casually for the questions. Asked about his advanced age, he pretended to nod off in his chair. "Watch me campaign," he challenged. "Come on the bus again, my friends, all of you."
McCain got a standing ovation -- an honor Obama did not receive when his turn came two hours later.
The room and crowd were larger for Obama. The atmosphere was colder (this time, editors had to pass through metal detectors) and more formal (wine on each table and flowers on the dais). And the candidate was uncharacteristically flat.
"I know that I've kept a lot of you guys busy this weekend with the comments I made last week. Some of you might even be a little bitter about that," he joked, before plodding his way through an earnest apology ("I regret some of the words I chose"), an angry countercharge ("If I had to carry the banner for eight years of George Bush's failures, I'd be looking for something else to talk about, too") and a recitation of his commoner bona fides ("My mother had to use food stamps at one point").
But the combination failed to change the subject. The first question: "Can a Democrat talk about guns, God and immigration without getting in trouble?"
"I actually think it's possible," said the candidate.
Recent experience, however, argues otherwise. And Obama couldn't hide his pique -- particularly when the moderator asked if Clinton should "step aside."
"I have tried to figure out how to show restraint," he said, to avoid harming the ultimate nominee. "Senator Clinton may not feel that she can afford to be as constrained. But I'm sure that Senator Clinton feels like she's doing me a great favor, because she's been deploying most of the arguments that the Republican Party will be using against me in November."
Not that he's bitter about it.
In case you missed it last night...
Just how much does Sentor Obama make a year?
I don't think he makes as much as the Clintons, but I don't think he's middle class either.
this is what I like about obama.
he's not bothered by small minded america.
sorry rays of the country, your thoughts are meaningless.
Except in November.
my point exactly. who would want to lead the hicks of middle america?
That wasn't your point and Pennsylvania isn't exactly "middle America" but, the second half of your sentence is of part with Obama's.
Nice.
it was my point.
you don't see him backtracking to comfort the banjo pickers of america.
hey, if america wants to remain stupid, then find a way to keep the idiot we have now.
I just know it must tickle you pink (or should I say red)
to be in the same flock as boutons, clam. Birds of a
feather flock together. dimm-o-craps, you gotta love
their choice of candidates or be called a redneck
banjo picker.
save your strength. when it's all over you're going to have some explaining to do.
Well, I knew that's what libs think of us, but I'm glad for the reminder.
Thanks.
strategerically speaking, it doesn't hurt obama to alienate bitter gun-toting, fetus-kissing knee-scraping small town folk.
(pssst *because they're REPUBLICANS* and wouldn't ever vote for him anyway
why would anyone vote for the most obvious intelligent candidate?
Obama now polls nationally 11 points above Hillary.
Obama getting more donations from bitter small, PA towns than Hillary.
Hillary, just ing go away. Obama's "bitter" won't give you the nomination.
