Cenk, get over it, stop blaming Hillary and admit the truth. Obama screwed the pooch big time on this one -- like the rookie pol he is. He could resist a little condecending pop sosh potificating about Hillarys blue collar base to a rioom full of West Coast Leeberals and he got his etc caught in a crack. True or false on the face of it, what Obama said has handed the GOP fodder for 10,000 commercials in the general. Obama ggave this to the GOP, not Hillary and he did it by just being himself and saying what he thought. Parsing it out won't change that.
You need to starting thinking more like the sharp political anayst you are and less like a panting Barack accolyte. If any other pol had screwed up this bad, you would have raked them over the coals. Obama has just cranked up the odds for yet another Republican in the White House. Politics is at least as much about image as it is about "THE ABSOLUTE TRUTH." You should know that by now.
