After remaining silent all day Sunday, Obama lashes out against Clinton in Steelton, Pennsylvania.

"She knows better. Shame on her. Shame on her."

Insists he does relate to small-town Americans, and mocks Clinton's sudden vocal support for gun rights. Click above for extended excerpt.

"Hillary Clinton is out there like she's on the duck blind every Sunday. She's packing a six-shooter. Come on, she knows better. That's some politics being played by Hillary Clinton."

Clinton spokesman Singer responds: "The shame is his." Read full response.

Meanwhile, Penn Gov. Ed Rendell tells pro-Clinton rally on Sunday that Obama's remarks last week show "a pretty significant lack of understanding of the people in Pennsylvania."

Philadelphia Inquirer: Other voters and politicians remain split. Says Pennsylvania State Rep. Keith McCall, a Clinton supporter: "Rural Pennsylvanians, just like suburban and urban Pennsylvanians, are smart enough to see beyond sound-bite politics, and we are all going to judge who is going to be the best president based on the issues. I don't believe it will have that heavy of an impact."
