You don't see talking down to people is wrong and can appear arrogant?

The "smart" thing to do
would have been just to say,
" I misspoke.
I was tired. People is small towns love this country. And we need to do a better job getting our message to them.
Hillary's message is better than McCains. We believe ours is the best.
Come November the people in small towns and big towns will realize our programs and policies are the change we all need to move this country forward."

U2democrat said:Again, I refer back to the article I posted by the man who was actually at the speech.
If you look at the entire context, there is much more to it than the clinging to guns and religion piece. He realizes the situation is more complex than it is being portrayed, and I don't see why this 1 comment should overrule a lifetime of words and action that prove he is different.
U2democrat said:So, if it's just a simple misstatement and he's proved by example that he's better than that, why won't people lay off?

Rockefeller Apologizes For Suggesting McCain Was Insensitive Warrior
Huffington Post | April 8, 2008 03:04 PM
Barack Obama Endorsements, Jay Rockefeller,
Sen. Jay Rockefeller, D-W.Va., has apologized for comments he made about Sen. McCain that were reported in the Charleston Gazette:
"McCain was a fighter pilot, who dropped laser-guided missiles from 35,000 feet. He was long gone when they hit.
"What happened when they [the missiles] get to the ground? He doesn't know. You have to care about the lives of people. McCain never gets into those issues."
Rockefeller called McCain to apologize, and released the following statement:
"I have deep respect for John McCain's honorable and noble service to our country. I made an inaccurate and wrong analogy and I have extended my sincere apology to him.... I regret my very poor choice of words."
The Obama camp has also distanced itself from these statements:
"Senator Obama has a deep respect for Senator McCain's service to this country and doesn't agree with what Senator Rockefeller said."

there is a lesson to be learned here
when Obama supported Sen. Jay Rockefeller, D-W.Va. misspoke
he immediately apologized
and it went away!!
he did not try and spin it.
U2democrat said:Just as nothing McCain will say will appease me.
deep said:you believe there is underlying truth to Obama's stereotyping of small town people?
2861U2 said:Which is what is even more shocking. Most Obama supporters I've heard found nothing wrong with what he said.

I guess Obama should have just called his wife a "cunt" instead, and we all could have gone on our merry ol' way.

Make no mistake, I'm no liberal or socialist.
