I sure had to, for once, appreciate Hillary’s break from “misstatements” when she reacted to Obama’s latest blunder.

He spoke recently to a people in Pennsylvania, whose unemployment rate is around what the national average is (4.9%) and tried to tell them how unhappy they are:

Obama touched off the controversy with his remarks at a closed San Francisco fundraiser earlier in the week. The remarks became public on Friday.

“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 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.”

Obama is sure to distance people who believe in their 2nd Ammendment rights, who love their places of worship, and who wish to protect their borders from illegals. None of which use them to explain frustrations; they just believe they should have the right to bear arms, freedom of worship and, oh, wish that the LAW would be respected in the land? After all, illegal means just that, illegal!
Hillary’s comeback?

Obama’s comments “are not reflective of the values and beliefs of Americans,” she said.

“Americans who believe in God believe it’s a matter of personal faith. The people of faith I know don’t cling to religion because they are bitter. People embrace faith not because they are materially poor but because they are spiritually rich.”
