Undercover blogger taped Obama’s blunt remarks
From SF Gate.com
Presidential candidate Barack Obama’s campaign has been in full damage control mode since the senator’s blunt remarks about the nature of small town Pennsylvania voters were secretly recorded by a Huffington Post blogger at a recent San Francisco fundraiser that was supposed to be off limits to the press.Obama, asked last Sunday why it was so hard for him to reach blue-collar voters, said that many had been overlooked economically and that “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.”Democratic rival Hillary Rodham Clinton pounced on the comment over the weekend, calling it “elitist and divisive.”
An Obama campaign insider tells us the blogger, Mayhill Fowler, had tried to get into one of two Obama fundraising events in the Bay Area a couple of months back where former New Jersey Sen. Bill Bradley stood in as a proxy.
She was turned away, even though she had offered to pay, says our source.
“There’s a very basic (fundraiser) rule - you don’t let press in, and anyone with an interest in reporting shouldn’t get in,” said the source.
Just how the MP3-wielding Fowler managed to secure an invite to the $1,000 a head fundraiser at the San Francisco home of developer Alex Mehran wasn’t immediately clear - but Obama campaign higher-ups were said to be livid, with fingers pointing at a local fundraising consultant for the slip-up.

I don’t know about you folks but this article irritated the shit out of me.
Think about it, the Obama people were pissed off that someone was able to record his
fucken presentation.
You mean to tell me that a presidential candidate would say something behind closed doors to a group of donors that he would not say openly to the very Americans whose vote he is trying to get!?
Fucken arrogant idiot fuck, if I were an Obama supporter that would give me great pause. What else if the mutherfucker saying behind closed doors to “select” people.
The longer this campaign goes the more this dude irritates me. He is so full of shit and such an arrogant bastard.
Dammit, I can’t stand McCain, but Obama and Hillary are such deceitful, manipulative pieces of shits I may be forced to vote for the old bastard.

Welcome to my nightmare. I despise juan mcvain for his open borders bullshit, but neither the shehag or numbnuts are any better on that issue. The only thing I can say for mcvain is that he loves this country. The other two socialist assholes don’t. It becomes clearer every day just how much numbnuts HATES America and whitey. Only positive I can see from all this “racist hate” coming out is that we no longer have to hear how only whitey can be racist. Racism: an all inclusive stupidity.
