UPROAR
Everyone is in a uproar about Sen. Obamas comments of the other day..
”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.”

It makes me so frustrated with the american people.. They are taking his words way out of context and not even quoting the important parts.. let me requote him appropriatly..
“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 nothing’s 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,” (Obama)
yes he said that the pennsylvanians are “bitter”but he is making a statement towards the bush and clinton administrations of the last 10 years and NAFTA who’s policies and faults as leaders gave away their jobs and truthfully made them this way..he is telling the blatent truth what no other politician has the guts to say and since when was being bitter an insult isnt he just being empathetic..
O but when he does something perfectly right you dont see the praise all over the news or on peoples posts ..its only when you see something that on face value can be taken the wrong way.. everyone needs “dirt” Obamas’s speech on race was DEAD on , its what everyone knows but everyone is scared to say..and if you havent seen it i suggest you do !
Also on the same blog I noticed something quite strange ..
“Ever notice the amazing variety of factional endorsements for Sheriff Bart in evidence on America’s bumper stickers and yard signs?…
Women for Obama. Latinos for Obama. Gays for Obama. Steelworkers for Obama. Republicans for Obama…
It’s kind of odd that someone who’s all about “uniting America” and making us “see past our divisions” has a fan base that compartmentalizes itself quite eagerly.” (the munchkin wrangler)

and about the uniting part ..do people truly believe that to unite a country you have to give up this country individualism .. i mean come on..this idea is ridiculous.. These people are united for a common cause but they still want to hold on of their ethnic , religious etc background plus on the other hand they can make a statement with it ..yes I’m white and will vote for a black man..yes I’m an atheist and will vote for a Christian, yes I am gay and believe in a straight mans ideology’s … The Media of this country preys on this sort of “headline attitude” the average person sitting at home will take just the information given in the news post and think that that is enough to make an educated decision on any topic.. and it most certainly is not! All the news cares about is ratings… accuracy and context are distant seconds…everyone in this country (everyone in the world for that matter) needs to look a little deeper and maybe do a little thing called research..Look at more then one perspective and not only what everyone else wants them to see. Then some change would actually occur.
good lord, boy, let me guess, you’re a language major? if the quality of the construct and spelling here is representative of higher education i may have to rename one of bho’s handler groups to the “the intellijenseea edukashunal eleet”…f’n sad.

Actally just for your information i am an evolutionary biology major. And yes my english abilities may be lacking but everyone in this country is allowed their own opinion (unfourtanetly in some cases)…and if your such a “god fearing” person maybe you should take those so called teachings to heart…love thy neighbor sound familiar or is that something that you could never imagine an american atheist supporting a christian presidential candidate to say?? And i guess it is pretty hard understand what he really meant by his remarks (gotta love the sarcasm). But since this is the only thing that the Clintons or Mccain can find that is “bad” about obama they have to carry this all the way to the April 22nd primary. Well ofcourse they did attack him about his preachers comments.. guilt by association. pathetic.. i mean not everyone believes everything their friends say. but Obama did come right back at them and instead of denouncing his preacher he both supported him as a friend and came back on the race topic and annhilated it.. thats a true statesman. To bad every other presidential candidate only has ad hominem attacks against barack. Maybe its becuase he actually stands for the next generation, and all this hate, mistrust and civil rights problems brought on by the baby boomers can actually be fixed by our generation…change is coming whether you are ready or not.
“unfourtanetly” you are an imbecile whose biology has not evolved quite enough, george…God help us if you are representative of a numerical majority who could decide the presidency of the USA…love, jtc
Thank you for that really i mean it.. I always love a good ad hominem. Are you afraid what will happen in the next generation? are you afraid of change? Of unrestricted gay marriage, the medical possibilities of stem cell research, the freedom of women to choose to have an abortion if they want, the equality of every race, gender, ethnicity and religion ( and nonreligion).
