“…cling to guns, religion and antipathy to people who aren’t like them, or anti-immigrant sentiment…”

To form connections with their fellow man? You mean like immigrants or people who don’t look like them? What are you talking about? Do we have to go over this again? The description of guns and religion can only be interpreted as a pejorative in this context. You think that Obama meant “antipathy to people who aren’t like them” is a wonderful virtue that good ‘ole apple pie-eating Americans rely on when times get tough?

…or anti-trade sentiment as a way to explain their frustrations.

Steady themselves in times of trouble? Whatever dude. You fanboys can keep deceiving yourselves if it keeps “hope” and “change” in your heart. Maybe then you can relate to those working class Americans who Obama claims are in the midst of their own self-deception regarding their religious beliefs.

@ Jimmy,

Only thing worse than bad sarcasm is horrible sarcasm. Obama never said that guns and religion were opiates of the masses, as he said they were things that people used to steady themselves in times of trouble, to form connections with their fellow mean and women in times of trouble

Regarding Obamas chances: hopefully by November, we will have begun to emerge from our current economic downturn, and all of that economic prosperity will alleviate the frustrations of middle-class Americans who will then discard their “opiate-of-the-masses,” by abandoning guns, religion and xenophobia and then they will become proper, secular liberals just like Barack.

Umm Reason, PA is still Obama in the fall, this is what you guys don’t get, Obama is still going to win NY and CA and PA and all the toher blue states that will never go McSame, its the fact that he makes states like NC a possibility (a tie in recent rasmussen), and Iowa blue and puts states like TX, ND, MO, etc, etc. into the possible range that makes him so dangerous to McSame, Hillary can’t do that, the only states she flips are Ohio and Florida, and Obama is in striking distance of OH as well, recent polls only put him a few points behind McSame in Ohio.

Recent Electoral vote analysis puts Obama ahead of McCain in the Fall, so sorry reason Obama can win this and probably will win this

He still lost big time. His far left anti american views and friends hurt him. If he had been properly vetted by the press last year he would never have gotten this far. He has already proven he can’t win the important states and centrist vote.

Face it, he is going to lose in a big way come november. Too many centrists and independents that voted for Hillary can’t stand Obama. Obama supporters are fully invested in the kool aid though, they also are the type to be the most oblivious to reality.

Sorry, but he closed the gap from 20 points down to under ten, this post PA meme is ridiculous, he was never likely to win PA, however he came through with more support than when he started, and his poll numbers are as good if not better
