Did Barack Obama just hand Hillary Clinton and John McCain a nicely gift-wrapped, up for interpretation, potentially damaging quote?

Mayhill Fowler is reporting on the Huffington Post that at a fundraiser in San Francisco this week, Obama put the blue collar voters of small town Pennsylvania on the analyst's couch:

"You go into these small towns in Pennsylvania and, like a lot of small towns in the Midwest, the jobs have been gone now for 25 years and nothing's replaced them," Obama said. "And they fell through the Clinton Administration, and the Bush Administration, and each successive administration has said that somehow these communities are gonna regenerate and they have not. And it's not surprising then 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."

So far, the Obama campaign is not confirming nor refuting the comments, but Clinton has already weighed in on the stump in Philadelphia.

This is the most condescending piece of crap aimed at mainstream Americans I have ever heard come out of the mouth of any candidate ever Stephanie.

What exactly is your point? There are plenty of towns all across america that are also stuck in the past waiting for that mill or factory to reopen... they won't of course, but those citizens of all those towns are still there hoping that their good paying jobs will return from overseas.

Do you think John McCain has a plan to revive their economic fortunes? By all means... lay it out... all I've heard from him is __________... nothing but more of the same... tax breaks for the rich is the name of his game... which is good for him because he's rich... but how about the rest of us?

so according to Obama when someone shoots somebody up because they don't have a job, rather than get themselves re-educated, we must have empathy for them for their frustrations? He has really really lost it

McCain's wife is the one with the wealth - and she earned it

and obtw.. if John "100 years" McCain is elected, will YOU TWO diehard conservatives be enlisting in the military? Or will you just continue to show your "patriotism" as you are now? Typing.

McCain did not say we would be fighting in Iraq for a 100 years. It has been more thne 60 years and we stil have troops in Europe and Japan

Please seek help for your hate and anger problem

It's you hyper-partisanship rearing it's ugly head again. Obama didn't say anything about shooting anybody.

He is playing the classic liberal talking points on guns and God

And taking his pot shots at gun owners and Christians. A bad mistake in many areas of PA

I can just imagine how this went over like a lead balloon there LOT. To me this is nothing less than what his dear pastor has been preaching.
