I heard it on TV. He basically restated the question he was asked. I will try to find a link to the whole sequence of that particular moment.

Thanks - I wasn't sure if you meant the original statement within the contest of the original speech or his explanation now that his original comment has caused a negative reaction. Sounds like the latter.

it's always makes me smile when hillary talks about the common man despite the fact that she undoubtably hasn't pumped her own gas or flown commercial in 20+ years. also the common man generally doesn't get tyson chicken to take all your commodity losses thus allowing you to turn 1K into 200K within a month.

Is that an artists rendering of what Huffington would have looked like without the plastic surgery?

The best i could get was this

Mayhill Fowler: Obama Exclusive (Audio): On V.P And Foreign Policy, Courting the Working Class, and Hard-Pressed Pennsylvanians - Off The Bus on The Huffington Post

I know, I know, its the Huffington post. Anyway, an audience member asked him why people cling to guns and religion and vote against their economic interests. And he restated the question that was asked in his answer.

So we can agree that the question was elitist? We have both the "cling" commentary and the "vote against their economic interests" which implies the Obama view is the "true way" to improve these people's economic interests. Perhaps they find some other approach to better suit their economic interests. That is the elitist component - these poor saps are too stupid to understand what's in their best interests.

Now, the real question is - does Obama believe that these things are being clung to (a negative connotation) and are being clung to as a response to economic conditions (an implication that if the situation were different they would not be as religious or gun-totin')???

I think it is mildly elitist, I would like to know who the questioner was and why they havent gotten their 15 minutes of fame.

I do believe Obama is becoming elitist. He just isnt at the level of Clinton....... yet.

i'd love to get audio about what hillary thinks of the flyover states. i can't believe she actually is arguing that she is the candidate most in touch wiht the common man. does anyone actually believe this? there hasn't been a more elitest regime in the history of this country than the clintons.
