Talking to the latte liberals of San Francisco about the knuckle-draggers of Pennsylvania:
"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," Obama said. "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."
And what state is voting next? Oh, that's right, the anti-immigrants and gun nuts and religious wackos of Pennsylvania!
Or is it the shocking inclusion of religion, of all things, in the litany of sins he recites? What on earth is that doing there, given His Holiness’s repeated invocations of the virtues of faith on the trail?
That's pretty easy; it's called tailoring your message to the audience. Obama may sing the praises of that ol' time religion when he's talking to rednecks and hillbillies, but in brie and brioche country it's just something ignorant people "cling to".
Update:
If I were a rich man, All day long I'd hang out with Obam, If I were a wealthy man.
