this from the Houston Chronicle:

    "'Obama said, "You go into these small towns in Pennsylvania, and like a lot of small towns in the Midwest, the jobs have been gone now for 25 years and nothing's replaced them...   
   And 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.'"


                It's funny that he accuses them of clinging to religion when he sat in a pee-you in front of Reverend Wright for 20 years himself.

                And he says they "cling to guns?"

                They are "anti-immigrant." Of course illegal immigrants took what few jobs there were at wages way below the poverty level, and sent the money back to Mexico or Costa Rica, or...



                   These are the statements of an elitist Democrat speaking to other elitist Democrats in San Francisco, like the ones who run Moveon.org.
