MUNCIE, Ind. (AP) - Democrat Barack Obama concedes that comments he made about bitter working class voters who cling to guns or religion were ill chosen.

Obama's comments drew immediate criticism, including a full-throated response from Hillary Rodham Clinton, his rival for the Democratic presidential nomination.
Obama scrambled Saturday to quell the furor. Clinton's response to his remarks is one of her lengthiest and most pointed criticisms to date.
Obama made the marks at a fundraising gathering in San Francisco last Sunday.
