Obama
Quote:
You go into these small towns in Pennsylvania and, like a lot of small towns in the Midwest, the jobs have been gone now for 25 years and nothing’s replaced them...And they fell through the Clinton administration, and the Bush administration, and each successive administration has said that somehow these communities are gonna regenerate and they have not.

And it’s not surprising then they get bitter, they cling to guns or religion or antipathy to people who aren’t like them or anti-immigrant sentiment or anti-trade sentiment as a way to explain their frustrations.


I see Obama met OldTimer.. Rolling Eyes Rolling Eyes Wink

but to say we cling to guns... cling to religion.. we're bitter and hateful..? shows how out of touch he really is.. Mad

Shucks, he at least got the first two right. Do you suppose that came from an "intelligence" source or has he noticed on his own? From what I hear, if you make eye contact in his neck of the woods it is considered agressive. Maybe someone from my culture looked him in the eye and he thought they were bitter and hateful. Nevertheless, he is indeed out of touch based on everything else he says and does.

I don't think he meant "cling to" in a good way.. more like it was a crutch we use because we don't know better... Rolling Eyes Rolling Eyes

it was a condescending remark about rural America..

Steve the truth doesn't hurt much on this end Very Happy If I needed to cling, I could and would.

He is just trying to stereotype and categorize groups to rationalize things in his narrow logic. It humors me. Is that sick?

It is just another case of him putting his foot in his mouth and revealing himself. All the candidates has slipped similarly in one way or another.

I think Obama was the one that cling-ed on to religion for all the wrong reasons. Some 20 years I believe.

I also think his wife is the one he needs to talk to about being bitter and having antipathy towards people who aren’t like her.........Heck this would also apply towards his friend and Pastor also.

Obama rues 'bitter' voter remark
Democratic presidential hopeful Barack Obama has said remarks about "bitter" working-class people "clinging to guns or religion" were ill-chosen.

After facing criticism,...Obama said he "didn't say it as well as I should have".

He made the contentious remarks at a fund raiser in San Francisco on Sunday.

Mr Obama was accused of taking a condescending view of small-town voters after he was filmed at the private fund raising gathering last weekend, during which he said he understood why residents of some hard-pressed communities grew angry.

Barack Obama was criticized after his speech was published on the internet


like other ill-chosen comments he just says he mis-spoke.. he is well know for his ability to chose words that appease the left.. and now is getting well know for his condescending words that infuriate the rest of America... so much for the "one America".. Rolling Eyes Rolling Eyes

I suppose I'm one of those gun toting bible thumpers that hate immigrants? Rolling Eyes

I have never seen a group of politicians shoot themselves in the foot more often, as is with Obama, Hillary & Bill.

Too funny!

Yea they been messing up themselves for the last 3 elections including this one. They were poised to win the Presidency the previous 2 elections and this one that they are going to loose.

They just can not give a little and nominate an electable Democrat.

Unfortunately, he doesn't have any idea how to fix that.
