“So how’d it go at the unemployment office today, Jim-Bob?”
“I’m so dang frustrated! The government isn’t listening to me! Where’s my dang gun, Shirley?”
“Where it always is, next to the potatoes in the pantry. Can you explain your frustrations, Jim-Bob?”
“Yeah! I’ll explain ‘em! Watch this!”
Blam! Blam! Blam!
“Would you watch out with that thing? There’s another hole in the water heater, and you almost hit the damn parakeet!”
“Well too bad I didn’t hit one ‘a them durn immigrants! They’re all diffrunt from me!”
“Well dear, you know there’s a tent revival tonight, at least that’s something we can cling to.”
“I don’t know Shirley. If only there was some way we could bring about a… a… change in America.”
“Well now that you mention it Jim-Bob, I was watchin the tee-vee over at the hairdressers today, and there was this nice young man on with some kind of funny A-rab soundin’ name. I didn’t understand what he was sayin’, but whatever it was made me feel good inside, like there was hope again.”
“Ohhhh yeah. That negro fellow at the bowlin alley. First time I’ve ever seen a negro at the bowlin’ alley, huh.”
“Well that’s just it. Such an articulate young man. Even though I didn’t understand nothin’, it was like, I felt like I was floatin’ up on a big cloud, with all the immigrants, and everybody else, even that blockhead brother of yours. And we were all friends, there was this, like, unity.”
“Wow Shirley – that’s great! If only there was someone like that in the central govmint as the President! Someone that would listen to my concerns for a change!”
“Well maybe there can be now, Jim-Bob. Why don’t you put that gun down, and lets eat these beans, before they get cold.”
Ah but that is something Abraham Lincoln would say or do according to Obama’s synchophants.
It's a "Chauncey Gardiner" moment in history. Also a direct result of PC indoctrination and of critical thinking being driven from public "education". This is exactly the result that the ruling oligarchy wants -- a populace so dumbed down and so easily manipulated that virtually ANY empty suit puppet can be elected, while they continue to run the country. We're in he Bread and Circuses phase of the empire.
Then get the federal governent out of our way, and we'll do just fine, thank you very much.
And then we have Obama's "Trinity Church", teaching that salvation is found not in Jesus, but in Marxist doctrine.
“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.”

Translation;
It’s not surprising they are all low-class idiots and vastly inferior to my educated self!
He would have been smart to have left guns and religion out of it but to some extent he was right. Workers in some of these small towns across America have been devastated by companies closing due to globalization. Some of these states are not willing to offer competitive incentives to attract new business and a lot of these workers lack the skills for more technological fields. They do become bitter and focus resentment on free trade deals and foreigners. A lot of these workers never saw it coming and were ill prepared for the 21st. century. So to say they are bitter it probably right.
He’s good at playing to the audience foreign or domestic, that’s for sure, seems like he is a man of many faces, and now learning to be a man of many about faces too..
Imagine him as the Big Kahuna (shudder..) God help us all.
I wish the dems would have both candidates debate again, it would be entertaining. We need to make sure Soros and the effete elite gets their money’s worth.
so...he said he could have worded it better -and then he goes and repeats what he already has said.
amazing.
"I grew up in a church-going family, a family that believed in the importance of living out and expressing our faith. The people of faith I know don't 'cling' to religion because they're bitter. People embrace faith not because they are materially poor, but because they are spiritually rich.
"Our faith is the faith of our parents and our grandparents. It is a fundamental expression of who we are and what we believe."
She's lying, of course.
But I wonder if any GOP politicians have the guts to make such a strong statement.
Obama wasn’t offering any solutions to poverty in Pennsylvania anymore that LBJ was to hillbillies.
The talking point is that this “down on their luck” demographic votes 2nd amendment, anti-abortion, and traditional family, which are 180 degrees to the Democrat stance on these issues. The usual talking points of “we are the party of the little guy” don’t work, no matter what the promised handout.
Do government handouts work? Does expanding the welfare state RESOLVE the issues of steel production in Pennsylvania?
If the concern is “outsourcing labor”, why would he be FOR bringing in 20 million NEW immigrant workers to the workforce?
What is being done to preserve higher wage jobs in engineering in this country?
Barack’s agenda is set. He’s trying to find the right pitch to SELL IT.
Now, if I could just figure out how to put nObama’s face on Fonzie’s body! LOL.
These days, that’s a racist jpg.
When people are hasty to purchase a “pig in a poke”, and find out they bought something bad, then they want their money back. When it comes to Presidents, it doesn’t work that way, and they had better wake up now.
“so the wheels are beginning to come off his wagon.”
It’s not a Radio Flyer, too American for Obama.
