Okay. So I think it's incredulous that Hillary is insinuating that Obama was calling us Pennsylvanians "bitter" in a derogatory way. I just think he miscommunicated an attempt to empathize with us and in no way does he feel like an elitist.
To avoid the media's presentation of just the bits and pieces of what he said, here's the actual quote--
"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.
NEWSFLASH----The majority of us hard working Americans here in Pennsylvania ARE "bitter" in various ways depending on how the Government's misuse of it's power has affected us. The ramifications of those feelings are way too hard to evaluate in 1 mere blog post so here's what I've noticed and I want to see if you guys have noticed it too.
Watch the difference between Hillary and Obama when they are speaking.
Obama rarely uses note cards or a written speech...hence, it comes from how he truly and sincerely feels.
Hillary on the other hand, frequently uses a written speech and note cards, stopping
mid-sentence to look at what she is going to say next...hence, it appears she has been told what to say.
Just thought I would point it out..... I feel it's important that who I vote for as president should know without hesitation what the heck they stand for without note cards or speeches( written by someone else).
AND I do realize that some speakers rely heavily on notecards because they're nervous, forgetful or whatever BUT, if you have to stop halfway between each sentence because you have NO IDEA what you are trying to say...there's def something wrong with that!
One more point and I'll leave the politics to the professionals....During Obama's rally here in Johnstown, Pennsylvania, an IUP college student stood up and presented a very interesting point....
"If Hillary is elected president, it will mean that ONLY 2 families have lead America for the last 28
consecutive years..."
I, myself, do not think that a continuation of the same 2 families will bring about change for America.
Okie, dokie, I'm done. Thanks for baring with me :)
