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.

Steve, I want to see you as a guest on Hannity and Colmes, Sean would love you and you'd put Colmes in his place. Good job on this post

Steve, now wait for the few trolls who usually stick up for dispicable remarks made by Obama or his 'followers'. I mean, if they excuse Obama's pastor and links to 1970's terrorist groups, ( and sooooo many more issues) imagine what they will say about "smalltown rednecks". It's always funny how Obama says stupid things and then comes back with some warmed over excuse about "not saying it correctly". How many passes is this guy going to get?

The left only looks out for non-Americans, and if Americans do anything for themselves we are bad Americans.  I am so sick of that message that they spew out

I simply hope Obama gets to read this letter and maybe even comment on it. But that would take a real journalist to pose the questions - not one willing to give him a pass on anything and everything.

To all of you, thanks I too was struck by the simplicity of the message, and even if this was written by a pundit or talking head, it sure speaks volumes about the disrespect both Hillary and Barack seem to have to Americans.  As if, without government, we are naive and stupid and need the big nanny state to step in to help us function.

Steve,

As a small town Pennsylvanian, I could not have said it better!  If my Pastor would talk like his, I would be out of there!  Yeah, yeah I know it is a cultural thing right.  They don't really mean it.  They just say it because that is how it has always been.  Whatever!  In a way I can't wait to see what happens here on the 22nd.  Either way, how can I be happy with the Democratic winner in PA?

As a small town Idahoan I totally agree with you. We are a very church minded town and to top it off a lot of us carry guns. Oh, no. This is probably one of the most welcoming towns in America no matter what race you are (do not believe the media).

Excellent post, Steve.

To everyone that commented, thanks a bunch.

I did not write the letter, but I wish I knew who did, well written and from the heart.
