“...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.”
Un-FREAKIN’ believable!

If Obama doesn’t see it on a teleprompter he shouldn’t say it.

Imagine a President who has even more contempt for the American people than Jimmy Carter does.

Yeah, I cling to guns and religion and keeping hostile invaders out. I guess that makes me bitter. And Christian, and patriotic. Out of touch, Barack?

Another quote:
“I’m out of touch? No, I’m in touch,” he said. “I know exactly what’s going on. I know what’s going on in Pennsylvania, I know what’s going on in Indiana. I know what’s going on in Illinois. People are fed up, they’re angry, frustrated and they’re bitter and they want to see a change in Washington.”
Pinging John Edwards!
When you look around at the people you know, does that describe you? Full of bitterness and despair?
It sure doesn’t describe me or my family!

Lying headline!
He didn’t defend anything.
He just kept repeating that HE’S not out of touch, the other two are.
What a load.

so does this-”then they get bitter, they cling to guns or religion” why you were Lewinskying the good Revrand Wright-because that’s how YOU turned to religion.
To: Mr Rogers
Full of bitterness and despair? Well I am not exactly happy about the check I just had to write the IRS but aside from that things are cool.

Ask B.Hussein who the enemy is, it wont be Achmadenajhad, or Al Sadr, the boys in Alqueada........No.
Bitter white people, thats who Obama , sees as the enemy.
His wife, His pastor and now He, Himself tells us we are the enemy.

...they cling to Marxist revolutions or racist preachers or anitpathy to people who are not as politically correct as them or pro-illegal alien sentiment or an anti-American mentality as a way to explain their frustrations.
There, that's better!

His internal polls in Pennsylvania must not be showing him taking out the Mz. Clinton. So it is the voters fault for not doing his work for him.

You know...The damaging part about this, is not that he meant to be huerful, or he intended to be derogatory..the damaging part of his description, is the fact that this is how he sees, and thinks about americans who donnt live in big city rat warrens of Liberalism. It is eye opening to see that he thinks of small town America as soomehow being natural preserves for americas not too bright relatives. Gun totin, bible thumpin, xenophobes, who are somehow clueless, that the products of their labors, are intrinsically tied to international trade.
We are to be pityied.
What ignotant Liberal snobbery. More of the Liberal Soft Bigotry.
