    Obama's Foot Further Into Mouth

    Obama says some voters are angry, bitter By JIM KUHNHENN, Associated Press Writer


    TERRE HAUTE, Ind. - In the midst of an assault from his rivals, a defensive Barack Obama said Friday that many working-class Americans are angry and bitter over economic inequalities and have lost faith in Washington — and, as a result, vote on the basis of other issues such as gun protections or gay marriage.

    The Illinois senator's analysis of what motivates working-class voters came after chief rival Hillary Rodham Clinton accused him of looking down on such voters. Clinton rebuked Obama on Friday for similar remarks he made privately last Sunday to a group of donors in San Francisco.

    "People don't vote on economic issues because they don't expect anybody is going to help them," Obama told a crowd at a Terre Haute, Ind., high school Friday evening. "So people end up voting on issues like guns and are they going to have the right to bear arms. They vote on issues like gay marriage. They take refuge in their faith and their community, and their family, and the things they can count on. But they don't believe they can count on Washington."

    The Huffington Post Web site reported Friday that Obama, speaking of some Pennsylvanians' economic anxieties, told supporters at the San Francisco fundraiser: "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 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."
    In Terre Haute, Obama said he did describe some voters as bitter when a donor asked why working-class voters in Pennsylvania were not getting behind his campaign.

    "Well, that's not my experience," Clinton told a Drexel University crowd, describing the state's residents as resilient, optimistic and hardworking.

    "Pennsylvanians don't need a president who looks down on them," she said. "They need a president who stands up for them."

    Steve Schmidt, a spokesman for Republican candidate John McCain, described Obama's comments as "condescending" and "out of touch."

    In Terre Haute, Obama chided McCain for not responding promptly to the home mortgage crisis and criticized Clinton for voting for a bankruptcy bill supported by credit card companies.

    "No, I'm IN touch," he said. "I know exactly what's going on. People are fed up, they are angry, they're frustrated and they're bitter. And they want to see a change in Washington."

    Clinton spokesman Phil Singer said Friday night, "Instead of apologizing for offending small-town America, Senator Obama chose to repeat and embrace the comments he made earlier this week."

    Tucker Bounds, a spokesman for McCain, said Friday: "Only an elitist would say that people vote their values only out of frustration. ... You can't be more out of touch than that."

    So according to Barack Obama blue collar American voters don't actually understand why they vote the way they do.

    Obama Replied to Clinton,
    "No, I'm IN touch," he said. "I know exactly what's going on. People are fed up, they are angry, they're frustrated and they're bitter. And they want to see a change in Washington."
    Yeah, I'm bitter and angry because the politicians and everyone else is breaking the law and letting illlegals, employers and politicians get away with breaking the laws of the land, bottom line.

    I don't depend on my gun or praise it.

    I don't vote for traditional marriage or anything else. I vote and have voted for the last two elections for the laws to be enforced and obeyed and ending illegal immigration and say NO to any amnesty deal. If someone murders a person, making a law where murder is no longer against the law doesn't mean someone was never murdered.

    Since Obama brought it up, the reason people vote for those things like traditional marriage (which is a no brainer to begin with if you ask me), is because 10 months before the election illegal immigration is always the #1 issue for Americans, we want it nipped in the bud. The politicians know this and since the time is coming near for them to be re-elected, what better denial of the will of the American people to get them dethroned is there than illegal immigration? They want to make the issue disappear from the minds of the voters. So, with the help of the Mind Stream Media, they make the issue fade away in the headlines, you know, outta sight out of mind. So now that they have it out of sight from the presidential debates, they have to replace it with something in your mind and then we get stories like Rev. Wright or stupid stories like this one so people can get all in a tizzy over something pretty stupid and therefore just keep the little brain busy so they don't think about the illegals or in Obama's parting shot, give sympathy to the illegals and make people feel guilty for something we're not responsible for, we didn't let the illegals in, why should we feel guilty? Why shouldn't we be mad as hell? All these smug little remarks are for is a trial ballon to see how fed up the American people really with this government. To see just how much farther they can push us into oblivion without all of us blowing up.
    What American in their right mind would NOT be mad as hell at where this country is? What is there to be positive about Mrs. Clinton? When people lose everything usually those people have families and other reletives that are on the front lines of the social and financial destruction, who do you think is giving them a hand up? Where do you think people that lost their homes are moving to? Are they moving in and getting financial help from their extended families? You bet they are so while the problem might be a few million familes losing their homes those few million have another 12 or 16 million that are living through it with them and are lending a helping hand to their own, thats just with the housing market and them you have most parents helping with the high school or college students gas, groceries, housing and exspenses, so it isn't confined to 1% of America feeling the financial pinch, this doesn't even touch on the sdded impact of the illegal immigration driving down wages and driving up cost for ALL AMERICANS, so yeah, the politicians want to get illegal immigration out of the forefront because their jobs are in danger and they know it, and this is how we go from a substantive presidential debate to a soap opera debate like what we have now.

    This very same thing happened in the 2004 election where the American people were so mad about illegal immigration they swore that would be their #1 voting issue, so the politicians, Mind Stream Media and the world big wigs had to come up with other crap to change the subject and take peoples minds off the illegal immigration and they did it, Mission accomplished! Thsats why they keep bringing the war up every year around election time. It isn't to get votes, its to keep our minds off of and take heat away from the illegal invasion going on here.

    Just like today, back in 2004 people were fed up and vowed to kick these people out of office and put in people that wanted to return to law enforcement and take care of these illegal immigratns. So, what did BUSH do, he came out of nowhere with this Same Sex marriage thing that got everyone worked into a tizzy, then said he wanted to give the people a referendum on Same sex marriage, so the people could decide the issue. When in reality we should have had and still should have a referendum on illegal immigration, thats what effects most Americans, not homo's wanting to get married, we can deal with that later, the more pressing issue was and still is illegal immigration. We haven't heard another word about that referendum on same sex marriage have we? Then we had the big fight over the war with Cary and Bush. We're still there and so everyone got so upset of the crook they voted for still being in office and not doing squat that in 2006 people had really had it this time, they changed affiliations and voted for the democrats. People were told, lets get the democrats in office so we can control the house and the senate and get our troops home now. The people did it and what have the democrats done since then? NOTHING! Why? Because all these people do, republican or democrat is LIE, LIE, LIE! Now, the democrats say they need a bigger majority in the house and senate and everywhere there is a public office, its all pure crap!

    So, after the 2004 election it wasn't 3 months before the talk again was illegal immigration and getting the laws enforced. All over the internet, talk radio, on the construction sites and in every town eaten up with illegal immigrants the word was, WE WANT IT STOPPED! And that is still what we hear everyday. As I listen to talk radio quite a bit, A few months ago it was the king topic, 2 or 3 times a week it was the topic here where I am. But all the sudden even these talk shows are eaten up with these soap opera like topics. Even Alan Handleman who has frequently had on William Geen, Jerome Corsey and other anti-illegal activist on his show where by the listeners were being updated about what is going on with illegal immigration and law enforcement, Alan tried to say that illegal immigration is now 7 or 8 on the list of concerns of Americans. As he was saying that it appears it has went from the #1 issue to number 7 or 8th on the list, and of course I just don't believe that is true at all but the Mind Stream Media wants us to think that other Americans really don't care about it but as the callers called in it confirmed that people are still concerned and it is still the #1 issue on many Americans minds.



    We need to get this issue back to #1 so the candidates recognise, they can't ignore it or us! With or without the Mind Stream Media, we are going to make it an issue they can't avoid! We need to get the American People stirred back up anytime we can by calling into talk shows and slipping in the illegal agenda in anytime it is in anyway related to the topic at hand, such as the financial disaster, education, county bond issues and so forth, We can't afford to let the issue go another election, we must take control of it now. Call into C-Span, Rush and other shows regularly, lets not let this ball drop like the globalist want, lets fight them with everything we have!



    Everytime someone calls in supporting amnesty, they are employers or people with a self serving agenda.

    LETS NOT LET THIS ISSUE GET LOST IN THIS ELECTION! EVEN THOUGH THE 3 PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATES ARE FOR AMNESTY, WE WILL HAVE TO ELECT NON AMNESTY POLITICIANS IN OTHER AREAS, AND THEN PUT THE HEAT ON THEM SO THEY PUT THE HEAT ON THE NEW PRESIDENT AND OTHERS, THEY ARE SUPPOSED TO WORK FOR US!

    I know its a lot of hard work keeping up with which candidate stands for what and blah, blah, blah and then trusting any of them is like taking a huge risk.



    For North Carolinians:
    Here in NC we have Pat McCrory running for governor. He says pretty loudly that he is for enforcing the current laws, but he has been mayor of Charlotte, NC for 12 years and there are 300,000 illegals in Charlotte, so while he claims to be anti-illegal immigrant he sat back and watched Charlotte get over run with hundreds of thousands of criminals. All 300.000 came in on his watch and he said nothing. As a former citizen of Charlotte who moved away from there for this exact reason, Mr McCrory never said one negetive word about illegals the whole time he was mayor while I lived there up to 2006. He's a lying CFR member who only has one agenda, the CFR and the global elites, the ones he works for not only as mayor but also as an employee working for DUKE Energy and also heads up a few othe global institution boards.
    Unless we get those criminals & make them pay for what they have done to our country and the lawlessness they have sponsored, we are just another Mexico ourselves!
