Clinton gives Obama the opportunity to control the pennsylvania primary...
Obama can now come out swinging hard about how some people in pennsylvania ARE facing hard times and real pain. When your facing a financial crisis ( housing foreclosure, job insecurity ,etc ), your damn right your going to be bitter. He can show his empathy for their frustration about how things are going. And obama shines in situations like this , much like bill clinton did, in showing he takes to heart the hardship people are going through.

She just gave him the chance to show why he is the defender of people who are pissed off.

3. He needs to do another ground tour of PA to explain that, but I agree.

With the media spin on this thing, he needs to clarify the message...but it's a message that will work for him.

5. I agree
This is a perfect opportunity. He might have held back, but now with Clinton's cynical exploitation of his remarks, he can go all out.

6. he was genius in turning the Wright "scandal" into an opportunity, giving a brilliant speech
that actually gave his campaign a boost.

Clinton and the rest of the repuke scumballs haven't learned yet that whatever they throw at him, he will turn it to his benefit. He has the Midas touch with mud that is slung at him. I am very confident that he will turn this to his advantage--and with merit, because what he said is absolutely true and will resonate with We The People.

I can't get over how the pinheads on CNN are licking their chops over this, and that stinking bimbo "journalist" from hunffingtonpost who said she was "torn" or some such bullshit and held back from "exposing" the remarks, but they "bothered her so much" she had to call everybody's attention to them. If she had truly been sympathetic to Obama, she would have umderstood the remarks in context and would not have presented them in the limited, scumbag way she did, without context and with fake "concern." She's a stinking liar faking "outrage" and "concern>" Fuck all these assholes who think they can sink a brilliant person on just a few out of context words. dumbasses.

7. He needs to make another stop in PA and deploy a couple of TV ads
calling HRC out on that $800,000 Colombian income of her husband's. And spell out her assent of NAFTA very clearly. Let's see her laugh that one off.
