At a private fundraiser last week the Illinois senator said economic problems had led voters in some small towns to become "bitter" and "cling to guns or religion"   remarks that have sparked controversy and intense rebukes from Obama's opponents Sen. Hillary Clinton and Sen. John McCain.

Obama said he regrets the words he chose saying it may have been a mistake, "partly because the way that these remarks have been interpreted have offended some people and partly because they have served as one more distraction from the critical debate that we must have in this election season."

He's telling the truth.  
I seriously don't think he should've apologized. People take shit the wrong way.

Well you can't have it both ways now can you, just shows he says things that he either doesn't really believe out of frustration or that he doesn't have what it takes to stand by his convictions....either way he sucks lemons.

OOOOOORRRRR
He wants to be president and when you're president, you must kiss ass.
So, no. He does not suck lemons.

True....
But, he IS being elected for the people (well, kind of.. :p)... and in order for him to be accepted, he has to not offend them. He can't look negatively upon the way they chose to be... he needs to try and keep a neutral opinion.

Which is exactly why he apologized.
I understand why he apologized, I just happen to agree with his original statement.

Haha..
I should have been sure to direct everything after "true...." to other readers. I agree with you.

call me crazy, but, isn't that part of the reason why religion was created? (to get through hard times)
