What an arrogant, elitist, out-of-touch, ignorant, closed-minded asshat.
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.
Oh, but he will. LOL. That’s not the good part, though.
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.
Shorter Obama: You’re all a bunch of ignorant, xenophobic, fundie hicks, but that’s okay, because you little people can’t help it.
I’m not a Pennsylvanian or a small-towner (well, maybe I am, compared to those in the liberal meccas of Chicago, San Francisco, Boston, or NYC), but I’ve known more small-towners in my adult life than not. In fact, I married two–one from Pennsylvania, in fact, and the other from the southern tier of New York State (for all practical purposes, just like PA). I’ve got news for Obama and his ilk: You don’t know jack about those people. Far be it from me to defend my exes, but damn. “Those people” are very representative of America as a whole, Barry. You FAIL. Your contempt for “flyover country” will not be forgotten.
This is typical liberal elitist crap that his latte liberal supporters “know” is the “truth”–at least in their sheltered, pretty little world. I’m sure his remarks didn’t strike anyone in his audience at the time as remarkable; in fact, they probably were nodding their heads in agreement. I’m sure Obama didn’t even understand how his remarks would appear to the rest of the voting public outside his little amen corner.
What’s funny: his apparent disdain for religion. It just goes to show how his “church” and his “spiritual mentor” have nothing to do with Christianity, but instead, class warfare. And worse, limousine liberal class warfare, because they think they know what’s best for the “little people.” In fact, they have absolutely no idea–everything they stand for is old, tired, and failed. If liberals gave a damn about the “little people,” they’d support things like school choice, school vouchers, and lower, flat taxes (unlike them, I’ve done the math). They wouldn’t look at children as “punishment.” They wouldn’t be pushing the disadvantaged and minorities to abort their children at every turn, regardless of whether they believe it’s “better” for those people to have fewer children. It’s not The Elites’ decision to make.
Mayhill Fowler at the despicable Huffington Post (the first comment says: “he is right”), who reported Obama’s faux pas:
Wednesday in Levittown, Obama told his audience, “We can find areas of common ground.” But if we are going to move from divisiveness to comity, then Obama must show that he can lead us to see one another at our best and to measure one another at our highest worth.
Exactly. Obama is quickly becoming even more polarizing than Hillary Clinton, because he just can’t hide his true self forever. Common ground? Frankly, I can find more “common ground” with Shrillary than I’d ever find with Obama. “Just words” is all he has, and those words, those platitudes, are so obviously false that it makes me howl with derision.
Here’s common ground I’ve found with Billary: “Give me a break. This whole thing is the biggest fairy tale I’ve ever seen.”
Oh, I forgot. Criticizing Teh Obamessiah is “racist.” Go to hell, lying leftard bottom-feeders.
HopeChangeâ„¢. NO THANK YOU. I spit on his elitist, arrogant latte liberalism.
UPDATE: The McCain campaign responds:
“Barack Obama apparently believes that for Americans less privileged than him, religion is an economic-based and not faith-based condition,” Mark Salter, a senior campaign adviser for Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., tells ABC News.
“It is hardly news that Senator Obama’s ‘new’ approach to politics is based on the presumption that voters are easily fooled,” Salter continues, “but the arrogance and elitism he shows here is truly astonishing, and very revealing about how he would govern this country.”
[...]
McCain adviser Steve Schmidt called Obama’s thoughts on small town Pennsylvanians a “remarkable statement and extremely revealing…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.”
Breathtaking, indeed. To put it politely.

You tell it like it is GIRL! And don’t hold nothing back…If this dork is elected next November WE are in trouble. Big trouble.
Beth says:
Actually, I AM holding back a lot of colorful language right now. I am absolutely disgusted and fed up with this damn charlatan. As far as I’m concerned, anyone who votes for Obama is a fucking idiot.
beth says:
You can fool some of the ppl all the time, all of the ppl some of the time, but you can’t fool all the ppl all the time.
He’s running out of ppl to fool.
beth says:
No wonder they have never been proud of America before. They think we are all a bunch of hillbilly hicks.
What an elitist snob!!
TC says:
My, my, my… Barry doesn’t like us small town crackers.
Color me surprised. A lefty elitist is showing his true colors.
Clinton will take the PA primary. The Dem race will go to the convention and it will get ugly. McCain will chuckle all the way to his inauguration.
Conservative Belle says:
This is like deja vu. Didn’t Howard Dean make some kind of idiotic statement like this?
Liberals really hate Christians with social morales.

Lord Bitememan says:
Religion and guns because they’re unemployed and bitter! For this prick’s information grandpap dug coal out of the California, PA mountains from the day he was of job age till the day he retired. The Methodist church has a deep history on my mother’s side of the family, not because they bitter over economics, but because of a longstanding row with the Roman Catholic church and local archdioces. Religion is a matter of family history, not petty lashing out. And those guns, that he thinks grandpap needed as a supplement for real hope in his life, they put meat on the table for my mother and aunts and uncles growing up. Maybe Obama thinks guns are just a proxy for anything else to be proud of, but I think a 70 year old man who could take his grandkids on a hike in those mountains he’d been shooting in for years and leave those little city-boys panting in his wake is all the pride that man needed. He was born, raised, raised a family, and buried in those California, PA mountains a proud and happy man BECAUSE of his God, guns, family, and the tremendous opportunities afforded him by this nation. He didn’t need the former two as a proxy for the latter one.
I defended that little shit for his path in faith, but it turns out that faith is an expedient for this man. Well screw the little shit. If he will begrudge my family their religious faith on a presumption that it is a bandaid then he can leave his class warfare church with its two-bit race-husling pastor. Heaven help that slimebag Obama, because one thing is for certain, once I get off the phone grandma and Uncle Scott sure won’t.
Peaches says:
It’s fortunate we have such a long election cycle this time. In a way, it’s good they’ve taken so long go find their nominee. The more they talk, the deeper they dig their own political graves. More campaigning=more people will actually see and hear who the candidates really are.
What an arrogant ass. Both he and his wife are prime examples of what an apologist agenda produces.

The dems are digging their own graves. What a despicable man Obama is showing himself to be. And Hillary is up to her eyeballs in lies. There’s no one even remotely desirable as a presidential candidate from the Democratic party.

Barry says:
The amazing fact about this crap is that these remarks by Obama will not hinder , nor matter to the ignorant voter ! They will vote for him regardless of what he thinks of them , simply because they are to blind , foolish , and uninformed to accapt the fact that they are the very one`s he is referring to ? I will pass this info: on to everyone I know ; as it will be up to us , you know the citizens` Obama considers unworthy like ,the hillbillies` , the serfs & lackeys`, the working class , to get this arrogant elitist snob`s true color`s into the working families homes`!! Because you and I both know that the liberal socialist bias` media will spin , lie , not report on it , and factually deny it is important enough to report on !! The liberal socialist bias` media will bury this story , so please pass it on to all you know ! God Save America !!

Didn’t Hitler say stuff behind closed doors that he wouldn’t have the backbone to say out in public?
andrew young says:
An indisputable fact: Obama believes that working-class, white Americans embrace their first amendment right to freedom of religion, their second amendment right to bear arms, and their statutory right to secure borders not because of their sincere beliefs but, rather, as responses to economic hardship. He believes that his is a more enlightened view and that it accompanies higher income and social status.
Is this guy John Kerry reincarnate or what?
Beth says:
YES.
I’m just waiting for another epic thread like this, unless I do one myself. ;)
