Dear Mr. Obama:
I listened very carefully this morning to your response to all the flack you have been receiving regarding 'bitter small town Pennsylvanians.' Nice try. But man, you're wearing me out! How encouraging for Pennsylvania residents that you expanded your remarks to all small towns across America. I must say, however, that the nation's small towns will not receive your remarks any less provocative.
You mentioned that the remark could have been made more eloquently the first time. But your second attempt didn't cut the mustard at eloquence either. What we seem to have here is a strong misinterpretation on your part of why small town Pennsylvanians [and the rest of the nation's small towns] stand behind religion, guns, and illegal immigration.
So let me enlighten you. Let's start with Pennsylvania since this is where your infamous and callous remark was made. Small town residents stood behind their faith and guns long before they were severely hit with hard economic times and massive job loss. They were not bitter then, and when they attend religious services today, bitterness is not a part of their church service.
I am at a loss as to where and how you arrived at this belief. I have been in many small town churches in Pennsylvania and I didn't see bitterness. I saw these residents revering, praying and worshipping a God they believe is good. You haven't been in small town Pennsylvanian churches to conclude this. But you did spend twenty (20) years in a church with bitterness and hate with Mr. Wright which you simply assume includes small town Pennsylvaians. And might I add that many small town Pennsylvanians would not last half a service in a church where bitterness and hate prevail.
Hillary may take Pennsylvania from you, but that does NOT give you the right to attack good Christians or any other faith in this state because you do not have the support there that fuels your followers.
Same thing with guns. Many in Pennsylvania and in small towns across the nation clung to their second amendment rights when economic times were good. Bitterness played absolutely no part then in their beliefs, nor does it now.
Yes, illegal immigration and the in-sourcing and outsourcing of cheap labor has hit a once industrial Pennsylvania hard, as it has the rest of the nation. And yes, its not rocket science that one's loss of a job and the ability to put food on the table would cause extreme anxiety and frustration.
Your remarks were nothing but a cheap shot at Pennsylvanians, and now expanded small town residents across the nation.
And DO NOT think that this one will be swept under the rug as some of the more questionable aspects of your life and thought processes. Little by little, the puzzle pieces are coming together. Little by little, the true Barack Obama is sneaking through.
