Obama: "Shame on her"
Is Hillary Clinton a modern-day Annie Oakley? Senator Obama thinks so. Barack Obama has been fighting hard to make up ground he appears to have lost in Pennsylvania, ahead of the primary on 22 April, after his recent comments about small-town religion. Describing the loss of jobs in places like Pennsylvania, he said: 'It's not surprising then they get bitter, they cling to guns or religion or antipathy to people who aren't like them, or anti-immigrant sentiment, or anti-trade sentiment, as a way to explain their frustrations.'
Hillary Clinton and John McCain say the comments are tantamount to intellectual elistism and the belittling of faith in small-town America. Here's Barack Obama's spirited response to their attack.

Hillary Clinton as Annie Oakley? What a joke. Annie Oakley had a reputation for always hitting the target. Hillary Clinton's verbal slings, arrows, and bullets aimed at Obama seem to have missed their target by a long shot. He is after all still standing isn't he? You'd think he'd be long dead by now. And while we know from the musical that Annie can't get a man with a gun (as Hyacinth Bucket constantly reminded us), we know that the surest way to a man's heart is through his stomach. But it was all Hillary could do to keep her Willie whose roving eyes and roaming ways would have cost him his marriage to any woman except one who aspired to become President of the United States. Perhaps she should have learned how to cook. And perhaps she would have but for all I know she took her cullinary lessons from that staunch Democrat Martha Stewart, a woman who can make an afternoon project out of boiling a pot of water and putting a teabag in a cup. Shame on you Hillary. Even if you didn't become a five star chef, the world's worst cooks, the English manage to get dinner on the table most nights...even if they have to boil the life out of every bit of their food to do it.
