Obama's real gaffe here is that his statement is the entire opposite of what his campaign has been so far. It's negative, when his campaign has been all about the positive. It's divisive when the campaign has been about unity. |
Here's an article from the NY Times

But it’s one thing for a German thinker to assert that “religion is the sigh of the oppressed creature.” It’s another thing for an American presidential candidate to claim that we “cling to ... religion” out of economic frustration.
I am one of those potential crossover voters. I am waiting for the general election debates so I can make my decision.
Most people would agree that this administration has left people bitter but to say this group of people is more bitter than the rest is devisive because it is a narrow view of human motivation. It is a gross generalization and anyone that finds questioning such statements disturbing is probably more often than not disturbed about life in general. There is nothing wrong with an open and honest look-sie into the motivations of our next elected officials.

Funny statement. hehe I like her
I am not so happy with Hillary either. If McCain comes center which I predict he will and is sucessful in pulling democrats and independants from Obama during the General election he will be our next President.
