Working Americans come in all colors

Reading through the comments, it's pretty amazing to consider what the Obama supporters are saying about Clinton. Let's refresh on what she said: "Clinton cited an Associated Press article "that found how Sen. Obama's support among working, hard-working Americans, white Americans, is weakening again, and how whites in both states who had not completed college were supporting me."
Now, when Barack Obama made his claim about the "typical white person", it didn't mean anything, he was just talking generalities; and the same thing with Clinton here, but even less so [but a 'gaffe' in the same manner]. Clinton clarifies that she's talking about working Americans that Obama is not doing well with, which are typically white, and she's "ugly and divisive"? This is a lame stretch. In fact, had she had not clarified it to say "white Americans" it wouldn't have been a true claim, because Obama is doing very well among black working Americans.
The Hillary haters will find this reason enough to condemn her to Hell. But then, they already have.
