Sen. obama "bitter" over bowling in altoona

(Soccer Dad News Service) Campaigning today in Indiana, Sen. Barack Obama let off some steam about the rigors of the campaign trail.

"You go into these small towns in Pennsylvania, and like a lot of small towns in the Midwest, they just don't have culture.

"So you go Altoona and try to bowl, to show that you're not better than they are. And you stink at it. And some blogger says he could bowl better than you when he was five. And you have to go diners and drink coffee there instead of Starbucks. Or beer instead of white wine And somehow I have to convince these folks that I don't feel superior to them. Well it's not surprising, then, that I get bitter."

Asked to respond to this put down, Roxanne Hart, who bowled against the presidential contender (and Senator Casey), said, "I'm disappointed that he feels bitter over having bowled with me, I thought he was one of us."

Apprised of this reaction, the Senator's staff released a statement in his name: "Sen. Obama mis-spoke. He meant to say that he felt "better" for having participated in many of these activities. Indeed, he feels like a better man knowing how the less sophisticated live."

Sen. Clinton seems a lot more comfortable with the bible and gun toting crowd. Heh, indeed. (via Instapundit)
