Obama Comments
Do you feel the comments made by Obama will impact the Pennsylvania primary? Here is what he was quoted saying according to the Huffington Post:
"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."

I don't think he MEANT them to be offensive, but they will definitely be TAKEN offensive. His consultants need to work with him on his wording.
Everyone knew what he meant, yea he said it wrong but everyone has said things that were taken out of context. I know everyone jumps on this and uses it against him but in my opinion it does not help Hillary or McCain a bit to keep harping on it.
