Obama talks down to "small town" voters

Obama talks down to Pennsylvania small town residents, who he says are bitter and gun toting church goers.

Here's my thought. I don't think he will apologize. He'll try to spin his comments to reflect that he's the instrument of change and hope for these otherwise bitter people.

A bit of a gift horse right now for Hillary.

Steve Schmidt:"It is hard to imagine someone running for president who is more out of touch with average Americans."
from Politico’s Smith Blog H/T to Barack Obama "Out of touch" with PA Voters!

Sen. Obama’s original remarks:

"And it's not surprising then they get bitter,they cling to guns or religion or antipathy to people who aren't like them oranti-immigrant sentiment or anti-trade sentiment as a way to explain theirfrustrations. "

These are YOUR words, not guilt by association like Rezko, Ayers, Wright and the others, this is YOUR view, words out of YOUR mouth. Obama, did you say you were sorry? Nope, you tried to act like it is Hillary’s fault then tried to blame it on McCain. You stood by what you said and acted arrogantly about it. There is NO SPIN on this, Obama, you said it, you meant it and you should apologize for it, not try and blame other people for it. This one is on YOU Obama! Stop trying to spin it like you actually care for the people, like you are a victim as these words say something totally different. These are NOT “just words.’
