O.K. this guy totally creeps me out.

Thats why I'm voting for him in the primary May 6!

[FateAmenableToChange]

Unbelievable. We know this is how he really thinks, but what idiot actually says it out loud, in non-code? Apparently a democrat idiot.

[Kuksool]

Obama is rehashing liberal talking points about small town America voting against their economic self-interests by being concerned aobut social issues. This is arrogance of the highest form. The Academic Left acts as if they know best for Middle America.

[4yearlurker]

I live in a small town in south west PA. All the economic damage has been done by DEMOCRATS for the last 100 years. They ran these small towns right into the ground.The unions are feeding on the scraps. That being said,these folks will knock each other down to vote Democrat this fall. Obama is a pompous,socialist bigot. But that doesn't matter if your a RAT!!!!!!!!!

[pepperhead]

Well if guns were not a issue people wouldn’t cling to them Barack. It’s not their fault you and most of the people in your party want to take them away from the citizens.

[XR7]

[T]hey cling to guns or religion or antipathy to people who aren't like them or anti-immigrant sentiment or anti-trade sentiment...

Hey!
That's what the left has been saying about conservatives for years.

[Thudd]

Darn right I’m going to cling to my guns. Especially once these fools get elected.
I think, for that matter, that I’ll cling to my religeon, too. It isn’t that I don’t have a job, it’s, well... I guess I just really like my guns. Also my religeon. I think Jesus is swell. Don’t leave life without him.

And all those people that are different from me? It seems like everybody is different from me. I try to hate all of them, but it’s just so much work. Besides, my God tells me to love them.

Oh well.

[Califelephant]

“...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’m surprised he didn’t add the phrase “Typical white people.” at the end of his remark.

[FredZarguna]

Well, let's see...

...at 4.8% unemployment we are 6% below the national average here in the Keystone State, but I see that Illinois is at 5.6 or just under 10% above the national average, so perhaps Obama is projecting. We know for example, the he hails from a "church" (clinging to religion) where "RICH WHITE PEOPLE" are routinely trashed (xenophobia) and his wife is constantly shooting her stupid mouth off, so apparently he has first hand experience with the phenomenon he describes.

We're getting clobbered with his idiotic (and misleading) adds about not taking money from corporations for the last four weeks. Maybe we're about to get a new TV series from the Obama Campaign: "Voting: so easy even a Lifetime-NRA, xenophobic Christian can do it!"

Or maybe: "It's 3:00 in the morning, but your gun-toting, chronically unemployed, knuckle-dragging husband is still out at his "Klan" meeting in Dillsburg. Barack Obama and his minister know what that's about..."

As an atheist in this little burg in central PA with only 500 people, employed with one--sometimes two--jobs since 1970, all I can say is I'm warming to the idea of voting for Hillary more and more every day.

[Brian S. Fitzgerald]

remember folks - to Obama, counter-racism is not racism.

[Williams]

Obama hates the America we have, like all the leftists his love is of the America they intend to create after they tear this one down.

Isn't it obvious Obama hates religion? No one would place religion in that list of "negative" things unless they totally disrespect believers.

Same goes for daring to oppose illegal immigration, in Obama's mind. And in supporting the 2nd amendment.

Obama did this in his "race" speech as well - referring to perfectly wholesome things like anti-crime sentiment as somehow being bad things resulting from capitalism.

Add to this his view of "babies" as a punishment.

Obama holds bizarre left wing views through and through. His view of small town America itself is frightening. Decent people are "clinging" to religious belief because of capitalism.

Funny, Obama watched Rev Wright rant like a clown for twenty years, but that brand of religion never troubled him.

Obama views all mainstream traditional views as diseases to be eradicated.

[darkangel82]

Obama, just STFU already, @sshat.

[Krankor]

This is beyond believable. I mean, this guy is in San Francisco dissing small towns in the midwest. Isn’t there some kind of constitutional requirement the President has to at least like America? These comments will mark the beginning of the end of his campaign.

[Martins kid]

So Obama is now insulting small town America. Remember this in November.

[EGPWS]

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.

Job's are gone for decades...nothing has replaced them...someone needs to be blamed....

Sir Obama, (you ding dong) we, to this date, still are the most sought after place of employment and residency via our freedom because we STILL have both for the offering!

Does that not frustrate you to no end?

A Snow White Story

The seven dwarfs always left to go work in the mine early each morning.

As always, Snow White stayed home doing her domestic chores.

As lunchtime approached, she would prepare their lunch and carry it to the mine.

One day as she arrived at the mine with the lunch, she saw that there had been a terrible cave-in.

Fearing the worst, Snow White began calling out, hoping against hope that the dwarfs had somehow survived.

'Hello, hello!' she shouted. 'Can anyone hear me? Hello!'

For a long while, there was no answer.

Losing hope, Snow White again shouted, 'Hello! Is anyone down there?'

Just as she was about to give up all hope, there came a faint voice from deep within the mine, 'Vote for Obama!'

Snow White fell to her knees, and prayed, 'Oh, thank You Lord! At least Dopey is still alive.'

[Iron Munro]

When Barack Obama gets elected they will have jobs mowing lawns and cleaning toilets for people like Rev. Wright, Louis Farrakhan, Michelle Obama and other black hate mongers.

[668 - Neighbor of the Beast]

We live in central PA. Obama wasn’t going to win here anyway, but this will just make it worse for him; his comments are those of a bigoted and ignorant person.

[HowlinglyMind-BendingAbsurdity]

"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."

Something he learned at Harvard perhaps? Or some professor at Columbia told him this? It is right out of Richard Hofstadter's "paranoid style" theory, the standard Ivy League dismissal of all non-liberal opposition.

Sounds like more excuses to divert attention from the trash-mouth reverend. Gee, it couldn't be that they are just creeped out by the race-baiting former Muslim preacher?

[<1/1,000,000th%]

Typical white people?

[Fox_Mulder77]

ROTFLMAO!!!!

I can’t believe he’s getting away with this!
Is he on crack?
