Notable Quote: What Mr. Obama really thinks of us...

Barack Obama

Senator Obama (GG file photo)

If there was ever any doubt as to the "two Americas" as viewed by Barack Obama and his friends like Pastor Wright and the rest of us typical Americans, this quote puts it to rest. As reported in Ben Smith's Blog at the Politico comes this gem from a speech given at a fundraiser in San Francisco:

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.

Guns and religion "as a way to express their frustration?" This guy frightens me. This is an astonishingly dim view of what would seem to most people to be ordinary Americans.

Yikes!

Considering he recently asked for understanding about his pastor, it's rather ironic that he would make such a degrading remark about the faith of people in small town America.
