Obama told the truth. Thanks, Hillary, for pointing that out to us.
On Twitter Dave Winer mentioned that Obama was calling Pennsylvanians’ - and the nation’s - attention to the fact that it’s true that rural American people are angry and bitter as a result of patiently waiting 25 years for politicians they elect to stop selling them out and help them get their lives and their jobs back. I guess Obama became one of my heroes twice this weekend, because he told a really uncomfortable truth about American politics and refused to back off it. Then he admitted he was wrong for having made a poor choice of words when he originally made the statement.
Actually admitted he was wrong and apologized. I thought I was going to faint.
It seems like Hillary jumped as hard as she did onto the bandwagon playing the ‘Obama has made a mistake let’s crucify him’, song, because she’s made some pretty big mistakes of her own lately. What are those mistakes? Obama tells it much better than I can. Watch out for him saying at a bit after minute 4 that Hillary is making it sound like she’s Annie Oakley . . .
