Barack Obama, working-class hero?

On a bus tour through Pennsylvania, Obama tries to impress blue-collar white voters. He'll need them to keep the state close in April -- or to win it in November.

    Lilybean...typically crazy Hillary supporter

    Name me one working class person who has ever been elected President. Ya know why George Washington was our first general and President? Hint: not because of height (not that that hurt). Answer: He was the wealthiest man in the colonies.

    When you call someone a "silver tongued devil", you sound crazy.

    When you call Tim Russert, a man the GOP counts on to throw softball questions, a tool of the Obama campiagn you sound crazy.

    When you become the first person since 1977 to use the term "whitey", you sound crazy.

    When you blame Obama for a decision that the state parties of MI and FL made, when they were notified that their actions would result in these penalties months ago...you sound crazy.

    When you expect the MI votes to count, when only Clinton was on the ballot because the votes were not going to count, you sound like a creazy weasel. Do you really believe Hillary would want these votes to count if they were likely to lean towards Obama?

    His poll numbers are trending up, so your opinion about America "catching on" is equally crazy.

    One can only conclude that you are...what is the word I am looking for. Oh, yeah - CRAZY. You are crazy.

    And that makes sense, because your hero is too...

    Tuesday: "It is an honor to be sitting next to Senator Obama"

    Wednesday: "Shame on you Barack Obama"

    Coo-coo for Coco-Puffs. Or just a coward that kisses up to people when face-to-face, only to trash them when they are out of earshot.

    But ya gotta have pride, right!?!?!

    Stay classy!
