Here's a clip taken by somebody at the San Francisco event; it's the passage just before the lines everyone is now focused on, in which he talks about the skepticism he encounters:
Here's how it is: in a lot of these communities in big industrial states like Ohio and Pennsylvania, people have been beaten down so long, and they feel so betrayed by government, and when they hear a pitch that is premised on not being cynical about government, then a part of them just doesn't buy it. And when it's delivered by -- it's true that when it's delivered by a 46-year-old black man named Barack Obama (laugher), then that adds another layer of skepticism.
Great stuff here- thanks!
I'm sure it was an inadvertent omission on his part.
NOT !!
Good Lord, this guy is really an America hater.
Yes .. see #35
Obama in 2004, oops, he did not take his own advice....says Dems should not be condescending to traditions.
I’ve downloaded three videos of this. Not sure what events they reflect.
When talking to the millionaires and billionaires, Hussein keeps using the term “we”. He considers himself one of them. Elitist, indeed.
He sure does ... note the references to “us” .. “we” ... and “great for us .. those who’re gathered here” ...

When he started out, he said if people don’t vote for him, it isn’t because of race but because he didn’t get his message across. Now it’s all about race every day of the week for him.
His grandmother was a “typical” white person, too, a racist as I recall.
Yes, “typical” white people are gun-toting, religious, bitter racists.
What a view of the country this guy has.
By a writer from West Deer Township in Pennsylvania, writing about Obama’s comments:
“By cracky, it’s like the man sees into my very soul!
“Thirty years ago, I had a good job in the mill in Pittsburgh. I was bringing in a good income, going to jazz clubs, discussing Proust over white wine and brie, with my gay friends of all colors. I was all for free trade, so that we could sell the steel overseas, and I never bothered to go to church, let alone actually believe in God.
“But then, the plant closed down, and I couldn’t get another job. I went on unemployment, and found odd jobs here and there, but they barely paid the rent on the loft, and the payment on the Bimmer. I couldn’t afford the wine and brie any more, and had to shift over to beer and brats.
“Of course, as a result, I started hanging out with the wrong crowd—the beer drinkers.
“And it wasn’t just the beer. Some of them actually went out in the woods in the fall, and shot animals. And kilt ‘em. With real guns!
“I was shocked, of course. For all their diversity, none of my gay friends would have ever thought of doing anything like that. But with my job loss, and lack of money for pedicures and pommade, they didn’t want to hang with me any more. So I borried a twelve gauge over’n’under, and went out with my new beer-drinking animal-killing friends in the woods. And I’ll tell you what, when I shot down that eight-pointer, I felt a sense of power over the helpless in a way that I hadn’t since I’d been looking down on the rednecks when I had that good job in Pittsburgh, driving around town in my 528i.
“But somehow the killing, and hating those two-timing nancy boys wasn’t enough. I was still in despair. I started to search for answers, and I thought that I found them in Jesus. It started small, just church on Sunday, with prayers and a lecture from the preacher.
“But it didn’t stop there. Soon I was attending Wednesday night revivals, and huzzahing and hossanahing, and babbling with the best of them. After a few months I’d graduated to juggling garter snakes, then rattlers.
“But it wasn’t enough. Despite all the gun caressing, and animal killing, and hatred of people who weren’t like me, and anger at the Colombians who were...doing something to me—I’m not entirely sure what, and the tongue speaking and snake handling, I still couldn’t find a job.
“My social life continued to deteriorate. Not only was I no longer interested in those sensitive swishes, or literature, but I was starting to look with lust at my sister. And not just look, I’ll tell you what. She’d been out of work, too, and was getting mighty interested, if you know what I mean.
“I have hit rock bottom.
“Please, help me, O Bama. Forgive me, O Bama. O Bama, my Bama, rescue me from this living hell in which Reagan, and Bush, and Clinton, and Bush, have consigned me. Restore unto me my loft and my teutonic status symbol. Give me back my poofter friends, and my pinot grigio and my baked gruyere, and lattes. Save me from the killing and the beer, and most of all, from Jesus. Save me, O my Bama, and I will commit my vote unto you. /sarc
..George Bushes ownership society means you're on your own. And that's been great for us; those who are gathered here. But, it hasn't been for a whole bunch of people;
..And. because we have not been willing to reinvest all the wealth and all the productivity gains that have been achieved over the last decade...
What with all the slander of rural folks, that which may well be the most important political statement of Obama's career:
“...all the wealth and all the productivity gains that have been achieved over the last ten years.”
The “last ten years” means the BUSH administration. Yes, the very same Bush administration which the libs have been claiming has ruined the economy. Did “all the wealth and all the productivity gains...achieved” by the Bush administration destroy the economy?
DG
No..he is a WHITE American hater....
The KKK couldnt have picked a better person to stir up Race hatred.....
“I sing six words and say ‘small town’....
And then five more and say ‘small town’...”
John Cougar Mellowcrap. Nothing else like him. Thank goodness.
That's why they endorsed him.
He said all this BS in the home of a billionare.
Way to slam the voters Obama!
slipped through the servant's entrance
The intensity of the laughter...
How hilarious it is to get to have some fun laughing at small town idiots. Barack sure puts the “fun” back into fundraisers. He sure knows how to talk to us vapid white rich city liberals! Here, hit my platinum card one more time, Barry! Take what you need!
Obama was revealed to be even more arrogant (and ignorant) than his darlin' wife.
And that's sayin' something...
