"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," Obama said. "And they fell through the Clinton Administration, and the Bush Administration, and each successive administration has said that somehow these communities are gonna regenerate and they have not. 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."McCain camp:
“It is a remarkable statement and extremely revealing,” McCain adviser Steve Schmidt said. “It shows an elitism and condescension towards hardworking Americans that is nothing short of breathtaking. It is hard to imagine someone running for president of the United States who is more out of touch with average Americans.”Huffington Post.Schmidt also said it shows Obama views the people he’s trying to relate to with “contempt.”
The Obama campaign has neither confirmed nor disputed the account in The Huffington Post.
P.S. This last quote:
"I'm going to have a big table and will invite everybody," Obama often says. These were his exact words to Johnstown March 29. "I'll have the biggest chair, because I'll be President," he added.Good one, Barack.
And why is he so angry?
