Hillary Clinton and John McCain are trying to make hay out of Obama's comment that people who are struggling financially in Pennsylvania might be bitter.
But the CNN pundits didn't let them get away with it.
UPDATE: Folks, sorry, but I'm not much of a TV watcher. Evidently, CNN started out the day with this balanced reporting, but then later figured out there's more ratings to be had with Obama-bashing, and is now engaged in Fox News-style nonstop "Obama Hates Small Town America" type reporting.
Here's Obama's response to the Clinton/McCain attacks at a speech in Indiana:
And lastly, if you want to read a poignant letter from a voter in rural Pennsylvania about whether people are bitter or not, click here.
And here's another one from a pissed off Detroit native who says her hometown, with its shut-down factories and bleak job outlook, is downright depressing.
America, it's called poverty. It exists. We can't wish it away by denying its existence.
Here's a letter from the Obama campaign. Sign it and let them know that you agree with Obama's statement.

For future reference, if it is CNN and it has anything to do with Obama, then you may as well be watching Fox. They have done more ridiculous hit pieces on Obama than any other candidate.
If I were to rate CNN, I would say that they are anti-Obama and Clinton-positive. But they love McCain.
MSNBC seems to be more favorable territory for Obama, because I think mostly they detest the Clinton camp over there, well at least Shuster and Matthews are really and rightfully critical of Clinton. Abrams is pro-Clinton because of his dad, Olbermann is pro-Obama and Gregory is negative to Obama and Clinton and pro-McCain. Except for Olbermann and Abrams, they love McCain.
Fox is totally pro-Clinton, they take Obama-hating to new lengths and while they were anti-McCain during the primaries, they are now big McCain boosters.
Thank god this is "bitter" b.s. is not as good a news story as polygamists. CNN is totally anti-Obama, particularly Anderson Cooper.
FOX NEWS treats this as a non-issue, like it never even happened. To begin: in a current political ad, 3 year-old Hillary Rodham, arms extended, toddles toward the home-movie camera. Hillary's present-day voice-over explains, the Rodham family cottage, down by the lake, lacked indoor plumbing. Yet, more telling details seem to fall by the wayside. Take twenty-seven year old Hillary's first real job. The upshot: Jerry Zeifman fired Hillary for unethical practices during the Watergate Investigation. Why was Hillary fired? “Because she was a liar,” Zeifman said in a recent interview. “She was an unethical, dishonest lawyer. She conspired to violate the Constitution, the rules of the House, the rules of the committee and the rules of confidentiality.”
“I have gone [duck] hunting. I am not a hunter. But I have gone hunting," says Hillary. Perhaps as amusing, is how an elitist politician worth over $100 million-dollars, espouses small town family values. Not only does Mr. Zeifman’s account go to character, it goes to a lifelong pattern of lying and obfuscation. It took Zeifman twelve years to get his story aired. After Watergate, Zeifman could not recommend Hillary for any subsequent position of public or private trust, nor furnish her with a letter of recommendation. After that, Hillary's employment record is one of strict nepotism, cronyism, and amnesia.
Although few suspected the lengths to which Hillary would go, a leopard never changes her spots. According to Mr. Zeifman, it’s not just Hillary’s dishonesty; that’s a fact not in dispute. More to the point is the overall timeframe in which she has behaved in a fraudulent manner. "The Clintons corrupted the soul of the Democratic Party." -Henry Ruth, lead Watergate courtroom prosecutor. Again, Hillary Clinton is a bold-faced liar, who will stop at nothing. Should anyone doubt either Mr. Zeifman, or Mr. Ruth’s veracity regarding the Clintons, dispute this: http://theseedsof9-11.com
