Obama's Freudian slip

Speaking to a sympathetic audience (in San Francisco), Obama momentarily let his guard down and inadvertently said what he really thought of the voters he was busily courting:

“You go into these small towns in Pennsylvania and, like a lot of small towns in the Midwest… 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."

Hillary immediately denounced Obama’s comment as “elitist.”

Of course, given the fact that the Clintons occupy the top one-hundredth of 1 percent of the tax-bracket means that we must wash her indignation down with generous amounts of champagne and caviar.

  1. Out of the abundance of the heart, the mouth speaks. Too bad for Obama that he doesn't put much stock in those obscure Bible passages.
