McCain has a lifetime of experiences and positions to speak to his beliefs. Yet Obama is a blank slate (which should disqualify him for president, but that is another issue) with absolutely zero accomplishments. All we have to judge him on are the things he says and the people he associates with (Rev. Wrong). Obama flunks on both tests. The "bitter" comment is revealing of the elitism and snobbery of the Senator from Illinois. This is the same candidate whose wife laments to working class women how costly it is to provide piano lessons for her kids and how tough it has been on the Obamas to pay off their student loans on over $400k per year. This is the same candidate who was complaining about the cost of arugula at Whole Foods to a farmer in Iowa (a state that has zero Whole Foods stores) and opted for $100 dollar Spanish ham over a Philly Cheese Steak in a Philadelphia Italian Market. Cumulatively, these vignettes paint a revealing and unattractive picture of BHO's character. FITS,

Peter Wehner says, "Obama speaks about the importance of religious faith in his life and the life of the nation — yet when speaking to a group of rich liberals, he implicitly denigrates people of faith, pairing them with people who have “antipathy to people who aren’t like them” and who harbor “anti-immigrant sentiment[s].” He paints religious believers as folks clinging to crutches to better deal with their desperate lives — only to insist last night that his words were actually a tribute to people of religious faith.

Who said this: "Religion is the sigh of the oppressed creature . . ." That's right, Obama is parroting Marx. By the way, Obama has been running on an anti-trade stance. Since an "anti-trade sentiment" is apparently nothing more than a prejudice of ignorant, bitter people, is BHO admitting he is one of those unfortunate rubes or he is displaying his own hypocrisy and rank opportunism.
