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 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.
I hate the way Obama uses 'gonna'. I hate it when people don't say it right! (its 'going to') Obama is trying to back peddle hard on this statement. I know McCain's campaign is doing the right thing on this.
From WaPo on McCain's strategy:
McCain sees working-class voters -- many of them once and possibly still "Reagan Democrats" -- as a critical constituency for his hopes of winning the White House. His advisers say Obama will have trouble locking down that support in the general election because his message has been focused more on changing the system than on delivering results.
"It's a remarkable statement and extremely revealing," McCain adviser Steve Schmidt said in a statement. "It shows an elitism and condescension towards hardworking Americans that is nothing short of breathtaking, it is hard to imagine someone running for president who is more out of touch with average Americans."
By Obama's use of race, class, religion and gun rights, (etc) he has alienated many voters. He has distain for what America stands for: Our American Flag, our plegde to Alegence, and to the troops who are fighting for our freedoms. Obama is out of touch with America and shows it every time he opens his mouth.
