The recent blow-up, blow-out, blow-me of the Presidential Campaign is to me the sordid recording of a Barack Obama statement that was off-the-record and taken by a Clinton mole that was planted to get this kind of fodder. The quote per se isn’t that damaging until it is spun most magnificently by the Clinton clique who will do anything not to lose, including bringing down the Democratic Party, and this is quite apparent to everyone that is watching. Recently Clintonite, James Carvelle stabbed a loyal and good man, Governor Bill Richardson, calling him Judas on Good Friday no less, then there was Hillary giving John McCain accolades for being worthy of being president over Barack and then her telling, repeating and repeating again of how she did a Mexican hat dance across the tarmac in Kosovo, a lie that is as reprehensible as saying you have cancer and you don’t (look for this to come from the Clinton campaign soon). But reading and hearing the quote is remarkable because I think it might represent a truth, being from a very small town myself. The quote went like this: “It’s not surprising then that 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.” I must tell you the truth, small town America is bitter if not pissed off about their misfortunes, lost jobs and health care that is becoming unaffordable. Do they cling to religion, yes, they pray a little harder in hard times, do they cling to guns, probably not, they like to hunt once in awhile and aren’t responsible for putting automatic weapons on the street and having kids and people on college campuses and work places going in and murdering because they are bitter, angry or have stopped taking their anti-depressants; as far as the anti-immigrant and anti-trade statement, I go back to the Lou Dobbs’ nightly ranting that small town America is listening to and believing, yes they’re pissed off and bitter about those things because they’re not being told the truth. But to claim that Barack is an elitist, which could be the first time in history that an African-American was called an elitist, and to say he is looking down his nose at small town folk is as absurd. Let’s not forget that Hillary and Bill are soaking the system for everything they can get. And that was over 20 million dollars last year. And then to top it all off, you have conservative golden boy Willian Kristol, writing in his usual incomprehensible way in the New York Times, comparing Barack’s statement to statements in the Communist Manifesto. This is a sure sign that Republicans want to run against Hillary not Barack, who has infused the race and not diffused it with ill will and gratuitous-politics-as-usual-spin that begs the reality of how much we need real change…
