During a recent fund-raiser in San Francisco, Obama said of his interactions of people in Pennsylvania:
“You go into some of 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, an Illinois senator, said.
“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,” he said.
Heaven forbid people have an abiding respect for the second amendment, faith in a high power, and a belief that immigration should be legal and trade should be fair. Ahh…the bitterness in that.
