LIKE PRETTY much everybody else, i am open-mouthed amazed at B. Hussein Obama's "bitter" comment. Politicians make stupid statements every day, but this one is a disaster for the Obama campaign. It pretty much confirms what many were afraid of—that he did take to heart much of Jeremiah Wright's ravings; that he is en elitist liberal; and that he detests much of the American public. There is simply is no way to parse his comment, it speaks for itself. He says he could have said it better. I disagree, it is clear and to the point—attributes much of his political speak never possess. The media is going to have a heard time smoothing this over. For the record, here it is:
"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."
Ironically, Obama himself is anti-trade. But those cracks about religion, guns and immigration are going to hurt him badly. Can anybody remember a politician saying anything even as remotely demeaning about the people he hopes to "serve?" That he made the comment in speech at what AP calls a "private" fundraiser in San Francisco explains much. He was surrounded by a crowd of rich liberals. They religiously believe all the b.s. Barry was spouting.
