Obama's bitter comments

Obama was addressing a crowd at a fundraiser in California when he made the following comments "decades of lost jobs and unfulfilled promises from Washington have left some Pennsylvanians "bitter" and clinging "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". I'm probably going to sound too forgetful on this one or maybe biased because of the love and support have shown to Barack Obama in the past months, but I still don't see what the fuss is all about when the "bitter" comments were made. I'm sure not offended by it. Yes the man made some regretful comments that could have been phrased a little bit better. I understand where he's coming from, trying to express the frustration of people about the government not fighting for them, their jobs and homes. All they got left is their Faith to still believe in a better tomorrow. They also seem to blame the wrong people (foreign countries where their jobs are shipped: China, India, Mexico) and not the government so they don't sound unpatriotic (so they hold on to their guns to express their Patriotism). This time his eloquence has hurt him, because nobody understood what he meant so now everybody is trying to interpret and twist his words starting from Hilary Clinton and John McCain and the Press. They both have called Obama an elitist and out of touch.
Really Hilary?, who's more out of touch somebody who's made hundreds of million of dollars and never was poor or somebody who's worked in the streets of Chicago with poor communities and struggled in his childhood with his own identity. How about you McCain supporting Bush tax cuts for the richer and not giving it to the working class. C'mon People let's not get into the rhetoric here and stick to the issues and facts.
"You know better" siding with the enemy and attacking your fellow Democrat "Shame on You" Hilary.
