What an ass.
And the pro-Obama bamboozled worshippers are eating this video up! They claim it proves how insightful and truthful Obama is! What have they been drinking?
“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 well they shouldn’t because his message is complete and utter BS.
Will Obama’s higher taxes bring jobs to these towns?
Nope.
Will his reregulations get the towns economies going?
Nope.
Will his catering to San Fran gay activists and leftist unions take America in the direction that small-town citizens want it to go in?
Nope.
He offers the Politics of Hyped-up Socialism.
YES WE SHOULD BE CYNICAL. GOVT DOESNT WORK AND POWER CORRUPTS.
I was wondering—are the politicians beating down the people in PA and Ohio democrats like Murtha of Johnstown?
President of all the people...I don't think so.
Well, at least he didn't say "typical." Just WHO is being racist in this campaign that SOMEONE said it shouldn't be about race???
I think he is trying to spread the “I am a victim” ideology to whites. It has worked so well with blacks, especially for people like Rev. Wright and other black preachers and black politicians, that he sees it working just as well on whites. He is trying to sell the same Kool Aid to whites that he and others have been selling to blacks for generations. He is urging whites to “play the victim card”.
Does anyone know the venue for the “bitter” statement? Did this occur at the Billionaire’s Row event that Zombietime documents?

Good Lord, this guy is really an America hater.
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.
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
He said all this BS in the home of a billionare.
Way to slam the voters Obama!
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!
I hope Obama’s limo and entourage break down in some small town in Pennsylvania, the South, or the Midwest, you know, where all those “bitter” and “religious” people live. Maybe before his elitist lawyer trash talking mouth stepped in it, those salt of the earth folks might have helped him out. After speaking down to them from his lofty elistist pedestal he put his sorry self on, those same food folks might just let him sit and rot.
I really don't see what he said as "calling small-town America, racist". In fact, I think that his statement was pretty accurate, "Ivy-league, big-city Black man telling them not to be cynical about government" IS likely to be viewed with skepticism in small-town America. For once, he was telling the truth!
