Plumb Bob makes some very valid points. For most of his adult life, the Obamessiah has associated with bitter people – just look at his church and minister. The only small towns he was probably ever in were one’s that he drove through on the way to somewhere else – somplace big and "important" – and I doubt he ever stopped other than to get gas or grab a lunch at a McDonald’s. I would be willing to bet he never spent more than an hour in any small town in middle America before he ran for his first national office and had to in order to campaign.

Obama is simply doing what he knows how to do. His training was as an urban radical activist, and taught him to draw out and amplify the rage of poor city dwellers to evoke directed activism. His elite education and upbringing taught him the theory, and his activism in the Chicago ghetto let him put it into practice.Middle America is a foreign land to him; he’s never been there, and knows nothing of it except what’s taught by neo-Marxists at American universities. That’s why it came out of his mouth; he simply had no notion that there was anything the least bit controversial about it, he’s never spent any time in a setting where that view of middle America was not taken for granted.

Isn’t Obama anti-trade? Why is he complaining that bitter people are anti-trade?
