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.

    @jacksmith

    Thanks for copying and pasting propaganda in here. Are you related to lolcait? Will you be pasting Nigerian get-rich schemes next?

    -------------

    jacksmith: "If you think Barack Obama with little or no experience would be better than Hillary Clinton with 35 years experience."

    Obama has over a decade of elected, legislative experience, plus many years of other politically relevant experience, teaching experience, legal experience, community organizing, etc. Hillary Clinton has 6+ years of Senate experience, 8 years in the White House, and then over a decade of experience on boards of corporations, plus assorted other legal work. Both of them have solid resumes. It's a myth that one has experience while the other does not -- a Clinton talking point that anybody with half a brain can see through.

    jacksmith: "If you think that Obama with no experience can fix an economy on the verge of collapse better than Hillary Clinton. Whose ;-) husband (Bill Clinton) led the greatest economic expansion, and prosperity in American history."

    Wait -- Hillary is running on her husband's experience now?

    jacksmith: "If you think that Obama with no experience fighting for universal health care can get it for you better than Hillary Clinton."

    Yeah she's got such a proven track record there.

    jacksmith: "If you think that Obama with no experience can manage, and get us out of two wars better than Hillary Clinton."

    .....who helped get us into one of them.
