Hillary Clinton is an American (and she wants you to wonder whether Barack Obama really is, too)

Applesauce
Pat Cunningham offers an unabashedly liberal perspective on national politics. A note of caution: The language gets a litttle salty on some of the sites to which this blog links. So, don’t say you weren’t warned. By the way, this blog’s name is inspired by the Will Rogers quote, “All politics is applesauce.” |

Pat, I can’t agree with you on this one. I don’t think there’s any intention here to make people think Obama is not an American, just that’s he’s out of touch with most Americans. Obama expressed his opinion poorly and admitted it. Hillary jumped on it to take notice away from Bill’s recent remarks about her “misstatement.” Obama and all the candiates need to be extremely careful about how they phrase things. At this stage every sentence that may have a negative meaning, intended or not, will be used against them. It was careless of Obama.

‘bama’s has lost Pennsylvania. This will make for exciting superdelgate voting. In honor of the Masters in Augusta today, I say BHO is choking on Amen Corners just like a the rookie that he is.
