God, guns and Obama TRIBUNE-REVIEW By: Salena Zito

On Friday it was reveled that Sen. Barack Obama told wealthy San Franciscans last Sunday that small-town Pennsylvanians and Midwesterners "cling to guns or religion" because they are "bitter" about their economic status.

By today in Muncie, Ind., Obama acknowledged that he "didn't say it as well as I should have."

The more he speaks, the more obvious it is that HE is the one who is bitter.

The fact that he doesn’t even seem to realize how offensive his words are simply proves how out of touch he is.

Obama's team also held a conference call Saturday featuring Pennsylvania mayors. Mayor Richard Gray of Lancaster said that he would use the word angry rather than bitter to describe small town moods

Angry, instead of Bitter........oh well I guess now its ok.

Good Lord

With all of this bitterness crap, it seems as if good ol’
Barry has absorbed more of the Revrun Wrights sermons than he admits to.

Anger instead of bitter? That’s great - anger drives people to guns, religion, anti-immigration, and anti-free trade. It makes even more sense. I’m glad Mayor Gray cleared it up for us.

"Out of touch?"

Hardly.

He's simply reflecting the viewpoint of his crowd (Democrats) and I'll even go so far to say most of the "R" Party office holders.

In his neighborhood, it's called speaking truth to the power.

I haven't wavered on my predictions that Hillary will be the next President.

(now 'scuse me while I ralph)

As a related point on this diatribe, I would like to make a comment concerning Obama’s religion.

I believe he is still a Marxist atheist. He joined his church as a documented political move, after years of being an avowed atheist.

It is clear that like Marx himself, Obama simply looks at religion as the “opiate of the people”.

As for those “rights” that people get themselves worked up over, they are simply hurdles to be overcome on the road to the greater nanny state.

In NYC, where it seems entire generations are in "therapy," you quickly learn that everyone who's in therapy thinks everyone else needs therapy.

Angry typical white people.

The "typical white people" statement cries out for a bumper sticker. Say, "Typical White People Against Marxism"

B. Hussein Obama was just reiterating what he learned in church.

Well, all I hear coming out of his mouth and in his own books is sheer, unadulterated bitterness. He has a gripe and beef against everyone but his fellow anti-semitic race baiters.
