Black Political Observers: ‘Bitter’ Debate Reveals Sheer Desperation of Clinton Campaign
Date: Tuesday, April 15, 2008By: Michael H. Cottman, BlackAmericaWeb.com

Black political analysts said Monday that the so-called "bitter" debate -- where Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama is accused of talking down to small-town blue-collar workers -- is a desperate, manufactured attack by Hillary Clinton seven days before a critical primary in Pennsylvania.

Obama has spent four days on the defensive after comments he made at a San Francisco fundraiser were disclosed that suggested working class people are "bitter" about their economic circumstances and "cling to guns and religion" as a result.

And some in the media, Democrats add, have kept the story alive after Clinton labeled Obama as "elitist" who is "out of touch" with the American people.

Initial indications are that Obama’s controversial remarks have not upset voters. A new Gallup Poll shows Obama continuing to hold a solid lead over Clinton in national Democratic voters’ support for the presidential nomination, 50 percent to 41 percent.
