Read the entire Josh Marshall post and watch Obama discuss the same issues back in 2004 over there. Obama is talking with Charlie Rose.

You make it sound that I deliberately ignored that part of the post.

Personally, I DOUBT that video is at all helpful to Obama. He needs this issue to go away - not "put it in context."

media memory hole, not get endlessly nuanced and masticated over and re-spun by Obama partisans. The comments are killing him with constituencies he has to reach, and they aren't going to be mollified by pseudo-apologies, what-I-meant-to-say prevarications, or blustering assertions that Clinton said it too.

They are jumping into the hole with him and helping him dig.

Here's the key sentence from the Charlie Rose interivew: ""If we don't have plausible answers on the economic front, and if we appear to be condescending toward those traditions that are giving their lives some stability, then they're going to opt for at least that party that seems to be speaking to the things that...provide them with something solid to stand on."

(Emphasis mine.)

I'm speechless.  The Clinton campaign should do an ad with this clip and then right away his "cling to" comments.  He condemns himself out of his own mouth.

Unbelievable.

for when he is speaking to closed invites of "millionaires only", Insular Blue Collar Affliction.

If Obama back in 2004 (5?) (none / 0) (#139)

saying he was not qualified enough to be president contrasted with the Obama of today didn't work, then I doubt that will.

Of course, I'm sure Rove will think differently.
