Obama’s comments on Pennsylvanians have provided his opponents with some bullets to shoot his chances at being the Democrat Candidate for the Presidency.
According to Clinton, “Pennsylvania doesn’t need a president who looks down on them, they need a president who stands up for them, who fights for them, who works hard for your futures, your jobs, your families.” As for McCain, he says Sen. Obama, “shows an elitism and condescension towards hardworking Americans that is nothing short of breathtaking.”
Obama responds by talking about the current situation in Pennsylvania. “Of course they’re bitter and of course they’re frustrated. You would be too … the same thing is happening all across the country,” he said, noting that people then “don’t vote on economic issues because they don’t expect anybody is going to help them. And so they end up voting on issues like guns … on issues like gay marriage and they take refuge in their faith.”
