As reported by the Politico‘s Ben Smith, Obama psychoanalyzes Pennsylvania’s white voters:
That’s not going to go over terribly well in rural Pennsylvania, though it was probably a hit with the San Francisco audience that first heard it. Still, it isn’t a gaffe, just a revealing slip of the tongue. Orthodox, secular liberals like Obama tend to explain religious fervor as a symptom of fear and bitterness. Likewise the irrational racism, xenophobia, and attachment to firearms of the “typical white person.” But it is strange that Obama would include anti-trade sentiment in this diatribe. Isn’t Obama against every free trade deal this country has ever signed? Hot Air has the response from the McCain camp,
no word yet from Hillary
