but this article is crap. The full text is found at that link and it's a showpiece of lazy journalism. Check out this comment - she sums it up well.

Lazy, lazy, lazy reporting. First, your "source" is an unnamed "person at the event". Second, you provide no context in which Obama's remarks were made. And third, you provide no evidence that Obama said that Kerry and Gore "alientated half the country".

This post is as irresponsible as anything coming out of Katie Couric's mouth, with the whole "some say" style of *cough* "journalism".

Can't you do better than this? Say, provide a transcript or a video?

Perhaps your point was just to fabricate something you could use as an attack against Obama.

Okay. But not everyone will fall for it, you know.



He may very well have said these things, and it does seem like something he would say, but holy crap, what a poorly sourced article. One anonymous source, uncorroborated and out of context.
