Obama Drama Continues

Speaking just down the road a piece, Barack Obama defended his remarks in which he said that small-town Pennsylvanians are bitter and frustrated and that is the reason that they turn to concerns about religion and immigration:

"I said something that everybody knows is true, which is that there are a whole bunch of folks in small towns in Pennsylvania, in towns right here in Indiana, in my hometown in Illinois, who are bitter," Obama said in Muncie, Indiana. (Reuters)

Speaking at a closed San Francisco fundraiser earlier last week, Obama told the Bay Area elites that:

"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 nothings 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." (emphasis mine)

Every time Mr. B. Hussein Obama strays from the teleprompter we learn a little more about who he is and what he thinks. Obama has tried to clarify these remarks but I don’t think Americans, especially those who hold traditional beliefs, will soon forget this example of bigotry. It is not just Pennsylvanians that take offense at Obama’s comment. There are tens of millions of Americans in South Dakota, Indiana, Alabama, Texas and 46 other states who will see that he was talking about us. And he holds an opinion that is elitist and counter to many of the things that we hold dear and that were some of the fundamental principles that founded this God Blessed country.

A Few Questions For BO

"20 Questions for Borak Obama"

John Hawkins on Townhall.com asks:

* You've made unifying the American public and putting our political divisions behind us one of the central themes of your campaign. Yet, National Journal ranked you as the single most liberal senator in 2007. So, which liberal beliefs of yours are you willing to give up for unity's sake?

* You've often spoken about what the positive effects of pulling out of Iraq will be, but what do you think the negative consequences of your choice to lose the war in Iraq will be?

* You claimed that you "never saw or approved" an "Illinois voter group's detailed questionnaire" that had you taking some embarrassingly liberal stands "on gun control, the death penalty and abortion." You chalked up those answers on the questionnaire to an overzealous aide. Yet, it turned out that you were blatantly lying and were actually interviewed for the questionnaire and even sent in your own handwritten notes. So, if you're willing to tell such a bald-faced lie to cover up your liberal positions, why should the American people believe you now when you claim, on issue after issue, to have flip flopped to a more moderate position than you held just a few years back?

These are only a sampling from the article that lists questions all Americans should ask about BO before they cast a ballot. Neither John nor I really expect answers, knowing that to believers in "Change We Can Believe In" no further explanation is necessary; and to many of the rest of us, no further explanation is possible.
