Speaking just down the road a piece, Barack Obama defended his remarks in which he said that small-town Pennsylvanians are bitter and frustrated and that is the reason that they turn to concerns about religion and immigration:
"I said something that everybody knows is true, which is that there are a whole bunch of folks in small towns in Pennsylvania, in towns right here in Indiana, in my hometown in Illinois, who are bitter," Obama said in Muncie, Indiana. (Reuters)
Speaking at a closed San Francisco fundraiser earlier last week, Obama told the Bay Area elites that:
"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 nothings 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." (emphasis mine)
Every time Mr. B. Hussein Obama strays from the teleprompter we learn a little more about who he is and what he thinks. Obama has tried to clarify these remarks but I don’t think Americans, especially those who hold traditional beliefs, will soon forget this example of bigotry. It is not just Pennsylvanians that take offense at Obama’s comment. There are tens of millions of Americans in South Dakota, Indiana, Alabama, Texas and 46 other states who will see that he was talking about us. And he holds an opinion that is elitist and counter to many of the things that we hold dear and that were some of the fundamental principles that founded this God Blessed country.

What's wrong with saying that we, who work for a living, and work hard, are bitter.
The economy is in the toilet.
The dollar is worth less.
In debt to a true enemy-China!
More for food.
More at the pump.
More to the stupidity in Iraq.
Since we are putting all our "more"over there, why not just declare it our 51st state.
Sound like you just can't handle the truth.
If there are complaints about a candidate, complain when he(or she)lies. Sounds like, at least this time it was the truth.
... Skyrocketing taxes, liberal activist Supreme Court justices, surrender to our enemies overseas, giveaways to trial lawyers, eliminating secret ballots for their Big Labor bosses and grandstanding against commonsense American energy solutions.Is this a president you want in the White House.
