Obama’s Bitter Taste of Own Words

April 13, 2008

Speaking Sunday at a closed-door fundraiser in San Francisco, Obama had said he understands why some working-class voters become frustrated and vote on single issues. “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,” he had said, in an address revealed in bits and pieces this week by The Huffington Post online, delivering the controversial words on Friday.

Yet speaking today, he didn’t say it all that differently — leaving the opposing campaign the same opening to take offense at a sweeping characterization of working class voters in small towns where Clinton and Obama are competing for the Democratic presidential nomination.

“I said something that everybody knows is true, which is that there are a whole bunch of folks in small towns in Pennsylvania, in towns right here in Indiana, in my hometown in Illinois, who are bitter,” Obama said today in Muncie, Ind. “They are angry. They feel like they’ve been left behind. They feel like nobody is paying attention to what they’re going through.

“So, I said, well you know, when you’re bitter, you turn to what you can count on,’’ Obama said today. “Some people, you know, they vote about guns, or they take comfort in their faith, and their family and their community. And they get mad about illegal immigrants who are coming over to this country, or they get frustrated about, you know, how things are changing.’’
