Your posting a link to Obama's "Damage Control" video.
A staged event to try and control the message.
The ORIGINAL taped remarks (not video) were not meant for public consumption.
Huffington Post has the audio.
Obama is explaining to his campaign workers in San Francisco that the people they will be dealing with in PA are "bitter, they cling to guns or religion or antipathy toward people who aren't like them or anti-immigrant sentiment or anti-trade sentiment as a way to explain their frustrations."
Now if Obam's had said this at a town meeting in PA (not San Francisco) face to face with the lunch pale working class, gun toting, racist bible thumpers.
He would still be in a heap of trouble but at lest some could respect that he made his case face to face.
Disrespecting people behind their back will not win real friends.

And the damage control that this is ONLY about the word "bitter" aint working, no one buying that.
And yes, he is going to have this beat about his head from now till the general election (IF he actually makes it that far.)
Perhaps he should sign up for some "sensitivity training"

That's funny, I know a lot of voters both Democrat and Republican who ARE bitter about our political system and how it doesn't serve the common people. I'd say Obama was right on the money.
Are all the folks you know that are "BITTER" clinging to god, guns and are racist?
Or are only the ones that live in small towns clinging to god, guns and are racist?
Bitter does not negate clinging to god, guns and are racist comment.
BTW if any of the "BITTER" folks you know are not clinging to Guns God and are now racist, does that not prove Obama and your self are wrong?
Are you real qualified to psychoanalyze millions of people you have never met?
Is Obama? Don't ya think it a little elitist to think you can?

injest these people are! I worked for a shipping company and I had to visit PA, living in NY I drove, I happen to have a BMW at the time, this became a point of contention I was even warned by some of the people in the meeting to park it and get a rental for the time I was there because people are ******ed that I have a BMW. What he is saying is true. The poster of this story and the rest of you want to say he is a raciest for stating a fact.

Imjest - Do you think what he said is incorrect. About the American people and Clinton? I don't think he was. We vote for the wrong reasons, I have people from small town USA and they do think the way he said they do. And if we all want to be honest he is CORRECT!

1. Obama was not talking about ALL Americans, his statement was directly focused on Americans who live in small towns.
Until Obama "mans up" and deals honestly with his insults to all Americans that live in small towns calling them Gun toting, Bible thumping, Racist for WHATEVER reason he is going to lose.

Do you understand the background on this story?
He was instructing HIS campaign workers in San Francisco what they will be faced with and who the people are in SMALL TOWNS, how they think what they believe.
But what is most important to really understand this story is that it was NEVER INTENDED TO BE BROADCAST.
You, I and the rest of the world were NEVER INTENDED to here this.
Kinda like being a fly on the wall in some management meeting as they decide how to bamboozle their stupid customers.

You are foolish. The people from small towns have been religious, had guns, have been angry about illegal aliens and haven't liked the trade issues for a very long time, some of the items all their lives. It is a very deep insult to those people to say they cling to those things because they are bitter. If you think that then you are very foolish. Why do you think he lost 20 points in PA?
