"And each successive administration has said that somehow these communities are gonna regenerate and they have not. So it's not surprising then that 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 is laying the blame for these beliefs at the failure of a government to deliver some sort of economic salvation? How presumptuous can Barry Obama be? Does he not know that even if these people were doing well economically they still would be "clinging to their guns and religion." Doesn't he know that history, tradition, and human values are the reason for these beliefs and not what the government does or does not do for people? Is he that far off the mark?

Your right Barry Obama is "too dam Liberal" for this author. He wants to create a populist Round Head Revolution in government that once and for all can "ruin America" according to Jamie Dimon. It is not what Barry will do on his own but with a larger majority in the Senate, the Democrats can pass all the legislation they want without challenge, without restraint, or without any sort of reality check. That is the danger. For example Nancy Pelosi has already tried to push the "Fairness Doctrine," what else will lay in store for America next? Cancellation of the Bill of Rights for the common good of the people.

It is a sad thing to say but it was the "bitter" comments that finally showed this author that Barrack Obama is a prisoner of his own ideology (vision) and will not be able to set it aside to be truly inclusive of everyone's interests. Until that moment he was given the benefit of the doubt, even if this author was in opposition to his "socially conscientious." political adherence. This author had thought he had made himself clear in previous entries on this Comment Board as to his position with regards to Liberalism and the "Bitterness" statements. What does amaze is that sarcasism of the "Little Barry Obama" comment passed without comment from the left wing fringe element, maybe they are just in awe of a literate conservative?
