I wonder what Obama actually likes about the majority of America. It sure doesn't seem to be much. We know his wife doesn't like anything about it, even though she has done very well. It is a rare moment that we get a statement out in the open like
this, that we get the truth. He thinks most rural types as dumb, backwards and in need of a lot of government.
It true a lot of small (and not so small) towns and cities have gone though tough times. Unfortunately for politicians like Obama the economics have been worsened by "government types" screwing around. Instead of making it easier for new business to come, regulations and high taxes make for a really bad business climate. They know nothing about how a business works, especially small business. They look to huge businesses to come to town, however those are few and far between. Small business is the future for most small towns, but those places have the fewest of them.
It seems that many of these "rural types" understand a whole lot better, what the country is really about. If they are bitter, its because lazy and stupid politicians don't! They see the real reasons why some places continue to have economic problems. Gary, Indiana is one of those places that are never-do-well. The political class corrupts the whole city, making any legal economic activities very difficult. The high property taxes, high crime rate, lousy schools make for a place no one wants to be in. Even the great real estate location is ruined by the city and county government.
If Obama was really interested in helping struggling areas, why doesn't he start at home? He lives on the south side of Chicago, an area that has had some tough times over the years. What has he done to improve it? It hasn't gotten better since he became a politician. So what makes him better then some of the other south side politicians? What makes him better then Gus Savage, Mel Reynolds, Jesse Jackson Sr. and Jr, Richard Daley M. and J. or any other south side Democrat? The south side has produced some of the worst politicians in the whole country.
They have no idea on how to get the economics of slow struggling areas going. They just represent the same tired, old unworkable "solutions" that don't work and never will. Socialism doesn't work. It really sucks in areas where the economics are bad, in wealthier areas it easier to mask the results of socialism.
Most Americans don't believe the lefty ideas are very good for Europe let alone the United States. They talk about guns because they worry that they won't be allowed to hunt (and fish) or have antique gun collections. They don't like it that city politicians "know better" and don't like their outdoor activities. Guns don't cause major problems in the country so it seems silly to even think they need to discuss it since we have the second amendment that is clear to what it says.
Politicians like Obama wonder why most people go to and like going to church. He doesn't seem to like church much, since he didn't know what his pastor was "preaching" about. Most Americans see their constitutional rights of free religion being slowly eroded. They know that there is no separation of church and state in the constitution, when most politicians think that it is. (If anything religion need protection from government.) There are other areas too, but Obama didn't zero in on those not so "hot" subjects. It just shows how little he knows about average Americans. He is no longer an average American, he has joined the snotty elitism crowd.
It scary to think that a "know it all" could be president of the United States. Of course a third term Clinton administration wouldn't be fun either. How does he think that he can work with people who disagree with him. He cannot even come to terms with different ideas, he don't even think they are valid.
Obama didn't want people to pre-judge him but he doesn't return the favor. I think the White House will remain Republican for the foreseeable future since the Democrats don't seem to be able to produce an electable candidate. Al Gore, John Kerry, John Edwards, Hillary Clinton, Barry Obama, what a joke, its scary the elections were as close as they were. Thank you "mainstream" media for bring us these frauds, instead of leaving them under the rocks where they belong.
