Obama patronises Pennsylvania

Francis P. Lavelle

Keep this infighting up and the Democratic
Super Delegates may decide to drop both candidates and find someone else. I'm reminded of the Irish Nursary Rhyme:
There once were two cats from Kilkenney
And they both though there was one cat too many
So they faught and they fit and they kicked
and they bit
And now instead of two cats there arn't any.

It will be interesting to see how much Obama is truly hurt by this controversy and whilst I accept the observation that all the candidates have their personal flaws - has there ever been the 'perfect candidate'? At least in recent electoral history? Was George W. Bush perfect? Al Gore? John Kerry. They each had their flaws and some more than others.

The hard truth: Obama's comments were for once, poorly phrased. They might have tingled the nerves of a few Americans who are unwilling to contextualize his words. But I think vast majority of Americans, in Pennsylvania or otherwise, will come to realize that no matter how unpleasant these truths are - truths they still remain. When your job is shipped across to China and your house is being repossessed, how is it possible to 'not' be bitter? In this sense, there is nothing remarkable about Obama's comments; he's simply telling it as it is. Yet perhaps his comments are startling for the way in which they represent a politician being honest with the electorate and not playing Rove-esque politics with small-town America. The Clinton response was all too predictable. How much has America learnt after the Bush-Cheney episode? We're about to find out.

I agree with Max Golby that Obama's comments are basically true, but poorly phrased. At least he seems to care about sectors of society that have been left behind. He talked about this in his speech on race, with regard to flashes of black anger in Chicago and white anger elsewhere.

Hillary's approach to the left-behind parts of a state like Pennsylvania seems to be, "I'll bring the jobs back." And the standard Republican approach has been "Let's all focus on abortion and gay rights." So at least Obama is trying to move on to something real.

The main problem for Obama here is that his words can be willfully misconstrued. But he is good at counterattacking on that basis.

If you donīt see that this heard beats like a muslim you muust be very silly .
I have ever had the talend to see a bit more than usally people in eyes in body langwige and look ,how he represent fun and mind of these similar arguments like muslims ever do!

I say Obama had dreams about the islam in the last jears only dreams . He was buisied with work , but know if he can change the way in thinks of islam he remember where he come from and how his heard is beating.
If Obama comes to president he will change amerika and than the world .
What does these world us will say?
Obama becomes a muslim again !!!!!
I promise it , if i will become a president the world ,we , israel ,the blind europe , and all other demokratic states will have smaller cards in the future .
Muslims will get more rights here again and like the palestina-shok in germany 1972 we trade out more human rights for these religion (the great dji Had instead of the small one)untill the next 20 jears than the first big islamig candidates in our state speak directly about islam and the next terror time begun .
If muslim more than 40% the state will wreck down.
You will hear from me again.
