but probably from people who are seizing on the only arguably negative story on Obama today. That's happened before, to no great effect. This isn't like Wright with some big dramatic video.

to help paint a picture, to tell a story that is negative and that narrative may influence some.
Hoffa has ben going around Pennsyvania promoting Obama. This statement will undercut that.
i do not think it will help him in the Pennsylvania, Indiana, and North Carolina primaries.
If I were his opponnet, I would work that statement into a TV ad. I imagine it is being done as we speak.
The question is, how do we overcome this, if Obama is nominated?
He needs a counter narrative that reaches the very people he described. His current narrative does not.

Clinton hits Obama over reported 'bitter' comment Posted: 05:57 PM ET Clinton is seizing on a recently reported Obama comment. (CNN) — Democrat Hillary Clinton is seizing on comments Barack Obama recently made in which he reportedly said some Pennsylvanians who have lost their jobs are "bitter." "It's being reported that my opponent said that the people of Pennsylvania who face hard times are bitter," Clinton said during a campaign event in Philadelphia. "Well that's not my experience. As I travel around Pennsylvania. I meet people who are resilient, optimist positive who are rolling up their sleeves." "Pennsylvanians don't need a president who looks down on them," she said. "They need a president who stands up for them, who fights hard for your future, your jobs, your families."

just got laid off from a SECOND job in a year. Damn right she's bitter.
(They don't live in PA, FWIW.)

because she's wealthy. Who wouldn't be bitter if they couldn't find a job?

It is what some will describe (hell, have described) as condescension.
See McCain's spokesman.
Obama gave Clinton (and McCain) a gift there.
In sports, I'd call that an unforced error.
I want the eventual winner to be able to beat McCain, whether that is Obama or Clinton.
