Apr. 14, Headlines - Both Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama spent the weekend picking up the pieces on some damaging moments on the campaign trail.

After Obama said that people who vote on the issue of religion and guns are 'bitter', Obama attempted to explain himself in Indiana. His words he said, were ill chosen.

"What is absolutely true is that people don't feel like they're being listened to. So they pray and count on each other and count on their own families. You know this in your own lives."

Barack Obama Meanwhile, Hillary Clinton is trying recoup after Bill Clinton said her story about landing under sniper fire in Bosnia was because she was tired at late night campaign rallies. But Hillary Clinton repeated the story several times, many time at morning rallies. On the trail, Senator Clinton attempted to change the subject by focusing on Obama's comments, calling him an elitist.

"How does he see the people here in this neighborhood, through out Pennsylvania, Indiana, North Carolina, other places in our country. And, I think that's what people are looking for, some explanation."

Both candidates will spend the day in Pennsylvania focusing on labor and manufacturing constituents.
