Everyone ready for another night of MSM squawking about Obama's "white working class problem"? |
|
We get the message, kay? Obama has a weakness and it needs to be worked on. Really, we got it. No, really, we do.
There are millions of us other voters out there who would like some attention too.
Some of us worked hard to get a college or postgraduate degree.
Some of us are not white.
Some of us aren't those salt of the earth people who live in small towns.

2. They never mention why all the white, working class people |
|
of Vermont and Iowa voted for him. In Vermont you're hard pressed to find someone who isn't an Obama supporter and it's about the whitest, middle class, state in the nation.

The MSM thrives on creating strife and drama, don't they?

9. It's a manufactured problem |
|
Basically, it boils down to white males who, historically, vote in the majority for republicans. This is a demographic that won't be voting Democratic in the fall regardless of the candidate.

10. MSM the day after Obama wins the Gen Election: He may have won but McCain got the white vote.. |
|
MSM will not be happy until Obama is long gone.

It's the whitest state I have ever lived in.
Yet, this state is going strong for Obama. Since we vote by mail (or drop off), I believe we will hear soon after 8:00 PDT, that Obama has won our state in a landslide.

17. I din't know the racist history of Oregon |
|
until recently. No one living here could tell me why so few black people live here.
In the seven states I have lived in, Oregon is the whitest. It is not a good feeling.

18. That's all they got on Obama... and its' a lie... |
|
That's all they got... 'white working class....' Can't touch him otherwise.
But do they say: "Hillary has a problem with white professionals, and AFrican Americans"?
Truth is: it's not all white working class.... just appalachian states.. and Jim Webb has lots of comments about that...
They love to dwell on the terminally stupid: "Obama's got a problem with white working class.." What about Clinton's problems?
"Obama can't close the deal.." Can Clinton close the deal?
When this contest began, Clinton was the one with all the cash, all the big name endorsements, the huge name brand recognition, and a huge lead on polling percentagewise.
It was not a level playing field, but Obama's closed her lead.
I want him out in the field, down in Puero Rico, and soaking up every single delegate...
