Obama mocks Clinton 'throwing back a shot and a beer'



PITTSBURGH, Pennsylvania (CNN) — Barack Obama furthered his recent criticisms of Hillary Clinton Monday by mocking the fact that she recently "threw back a shot and a beer" in front of the media.

After first saying too many candidates are only giving voters "rhetoric," the Illinois senator said, "They'll promise you anything. They'll even give you a long list of proposals. They'll even come around with TV crews in tow and throw back a shot and a beer."

The shot came Saturday at Bronko’s Restaurant in Crown Point, Indiana. With the national media in tow, Clinton made a stop there to drink a beer and speak with voters. After ordering her beer the bartender asked, “You want a shot with that Hillary?” After some deliberation, Clinton settled on a shot of Crown Royal, a Canadian whiskey.

But Obama is not totally in the clear himself when it comes to photo-ops at bars. The White House hopeful nursed a beer in front of cameras with Pennsylvania senator Bob Casey at a sports bar during his Pennsylvania bus tour earlier this month. He has since mentioned that moment of drinking in front of audiences on the trail in the Keystone State.

BY THE WAY.... PITTSBURGH HAS ALWAYS BEEN A SHOT AND A BEER TOWN

I look at the bogus statements that come from the Democrats and I do not think any of them has what it takes to get my vote to be my President .There is so much exstrapulation form the truth from that party and what gets me is those that the Emocrats who blow smoke up our asses are the ones who are revered by the party.They seem to think us voters are deaf dumb and blind.
"Our troops are terrorizing the Iraqis"The dems would want us to think that American military get the men woman and chidren out in the front yard and made to watchwatch while coalition troops rape the family cammel.And they don't through this people out of the party

Federal prosecutors accused a former U.S. soldier Monday of raping and murdering a young Iraqi woman and gunning down her family, all of whose bodies were found burned in an apparent cover-up.

The murder and rape charges against him grew out of a military investigation involving as many as five soldiers in the alleged rape and killing of a young woman in Mahmoudiya. Three of the woman's relatives were also killed in the incident -- one of them a girl believed to be about 5.

These people are being made responsible for their actions and that has to do with rule of law. and that is different from were the Iraqi people have come from RApping and killing is not the norm. I have found that those n our military are honerable people

That is why we have a Democracy!

America was far better off under Bill Clinton than it is under George Bush.

Voters are a means to an end for most politicians.

Achmed would not aprove of that ,what they did to that camel.

Bad things happen in war.

Solidiers have a job to do.

How can you say killing is not the norm? In a war situation.

I am sure they are honerable people.
There is good press and bad press.
Just as there are good folks and bad folks.

TEXAS PRIEST
The new priest, born and raised in Texas, is nervous about hearing confessions, so he asks the older priest to sit in on his sessions.

The new priest hears a couple of confessions, then the old priest asks him to step out of the confessional for a few suggestions.

The old priest says, 'Cross your arms over your chest, and rub your chin with one hand and try saying things like 'yes, I see,' and 'yes, go on,' and 'I understand.''

The new priest crosses his arms, rubs his chin with one hand and repeats all the suggested remarks to the old priest.

The old priest says , 'Now, don't you think that's a little better than slapping your knee, laughing, and saying, 'No shit... what happened next?'

SIX TRUTHS OF LIFE
1. You cannot touch all your teeth with your tongue.

2. All idiots, after reading the first 'truth', will try it.
Yeah I did too.

3. The first truth is a lie.
4. You are smiling now because you're an idiot.
5. You will soon forward this to another idiot.

6. There is still a stupid smile on your face.

I don't care if you lick windows, take the special bus, or occasionally pee on yourself...

You hang in there sunshine, you're friggin' special.
