i went to youtube to see if there was a video up on this yet (they showed it on msnbc) and there was a video from the speech, but the part where she got booed wasn't included... and it was posted by hillaryclinton.com.

it had just gone up and there were no comments on it yet, so i attempted to post a comment that said "gee, i wonder why you didn't post the part where hillary said "you know, i know that many of you, like me, were disappointed by recent remarks that he made..." and got booed!

i went back a couple of minutes later and the video was removed and replaced by a copy of the exact same video (sans the boos) posted by a different member. someone they are interviewing on msnbc who was there said that a lot of the reaction wasn't audible on the tape - that a lot of people groaned and rolled their eyes at each other.

i think hillary's going to experience a backlash on this one.

Yes!!! There is going to be a huge backlash on this one. WHY? Because Hillary ONCE AGAIN tried to play the voters for fools!

MOST know who Obama is and what his life has been dedicated too. She could have used a lot of different words that might have stuck but "Elitest" was not one of the.

She has once again shown AWFUL judgment!

AND----she does NOT learn from her mistakes! She has ridden this donkey to death and people are sick of it----and rapidly getting sick of her.

Here is link to the MSNBC video of it today's remarks. Hillary Booed


BUT What is even more interesting is if you go to youtube and search Hillary - booed WOW!!! The voters have booed her from one coast to the next!

You would think she would get a clue!

Do the same for Obama (Obama - booed). HUGE DIFFERENCE! There must be a take home message there somewhere..............

Clinton Heckled, Obama Cheered Over 'Bitter' Remarks - Politics on The Huffington Post


Clinton Heckled, Obama Cheered Over 'Bitter' Remarks

by Jason Linkins


The Clinton and Obama campaigns clearly have one thing in common in the wake of Barack Obama's "bitter" remarks: both sides believe the incident provides their candidates with the means to go on the offensive, with Clinton working to paint Obama as "elitist" and Obama seeking to demonstrate that he is "in touch" with the needs of working-class America.

It is, of course, too early to assess what lasting impact this story is going to have on the race, but the way the audience at the Alliance For American Manufacturing forum in Pittsburgh received the candidates, and reacted to the issue, will be heartening for the Obama camp. Obama, who greeted the crowd at 8:45am, raised the issue and received applause. Clinton, addressing the same crowd later in the morning, brought up the remarks and received mostly silence, with a few audible impatient jeers.

Pennsylvania crowd jeers Clinton attacks on Obama
Posted: 04:00 PM ET

The labor crowd reacted badly to Clinton’s attacks on her rival.
PITTSBURGH, Pennsylvania (CNN) – On Monday, with the Pennsylvania primary just days away, Hillary Clinton continued to hammer Barack Obama over his comments that small town Americans "cling to guns or religion" because they are "bitter."

But the audience at a forum put on by the Alliance for American Manufacturing didn't appreciate her line of attack.

"I understand my opponent came this morning and spent a lot of his time attacking me," she said at the beginning of her remarks here.

Many in the crowd responded with audible groans, and a few shouted, "No!"


Obama spoke to the same forum earlier in the morning and ribbed Clinton for doing a shot of whiskey in front of TV cameras on Saturday in Indiana.

Clinton continued, "I know that many of you, like me, were disappointed by the recent remarks he made."

This time, a louder, sustained chorus of "No!" emanated from the audience. Clinton soldiered on.

"I am well aware that at a fundraiser in San Francisco he said some things that many people in Pennsylvania and beyond Pennsylvania have found offensive," she said.

This time, a smaller smattering of jeers.

It was only when Clinton concluded her opening remarks by attacking President Bush that she received a warm round of applause.

The Clinton campaign later said the disgruntled reaction to her remarks came from Obama supporters in attendance.

Several audience members told CNN after the speech they came to the forum to hear each candidate talk about trade issues, and were not interested in the political back-and-forth of the Democratic primary race.

When Clinton focused on policy and expounded on enforcing trade agreements, creating new jobs and standing up to China, she received some hearty ovations.

But despite Pittsburgh's working class reputation, it was at times a tough crowd for the New York senator.

As the question and answer session began, one man asked Clinton for assurances that American workers would not be "tricked" like they had been when her husband signed NAFTA in 1993.

A press release distributed to reporters by the Alliance for American Manufacturing calculated that Pennsylvania lost 44,173 jobs due to NAFTA between 1993 and 2004.

Clinton, who spent much of her speech attacking America's trade imbalance with China, responded by drawing a line in the sand between her policy positions and her husband's trade record.

"As smart as my husband is, he does make mistakes," Clinton quipped.

What's happening here?
I agree with RK??

Yes she's gonna experience a backlash.
The first rule of politics is to
SHUT UP when your opponenet is digging a hole.

BUt she just has to open her competative mouth. instead of just shutting up, and let it play in the media.

Interesting that the people want to hear more about issues than personal bashing between the candidates. I hope Obama will take something from this too because he's pushing it and could face the same backlash. He's had his say, time to get above it again and campaign on what works best for him.
