Obama campaigned in Massachusetts against Scott Brown; he's now a senator. He campaigned in New Jersey against Chris Christie; he’s now the governor. He campaigned in Virginia against Bob McDonnell; he’s now governor. He spoke for the health care plan; it became less popular. He campaigned in 2010 for the Democrats, they were shellacked. He flew to Copenhagen to get Chicago the Olympics; it was the first city eliminated. There is no evidence that he has the rhetorical powers he is relying on.
"You go into these small towns in Pennsylvania and, like a lot of small towns in the Midwest, the jobs have been gone now for 25 years and nothing's replaced them," he said.
"And it's not surprising, then, 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,"

As a german citizen I want to say something to all american out there: It cannot be and is out of my entire imagination that how come this big mafia is handing over power within it's own mafiaship since such a long time. Don't you think it's time? It's time for a BIG change ladies and genltleman! No matter how nice Mrs. Clinton seems t appear for you- Senior Bush's son became unfortunately the biggest disaster you don't want to support for repeatition.
Just a question, are you choosing your president/leader, or whatever, based on his religion or based on the program he is presenting?
Let's say an athiest person and honest, while there is christian/jew/muslim who is cheater and thief, whom are you going to choose?
This is USA, the freedom of choice, you don't want him say no in the election, but don't use such a silly reason to cause rejection at others.... Say always "I think that", it would be much better!
That real!!! I found out now he's Christian, but yea, what if he was a muslim, that shouldnt matter at all. Just because i'm black doesnt mean i'm a thug, just because I'm white doesnt mean i'm racist and just because i'm german doesnt mean i'm a nazi...I like your question...

It's sad watching him trying to change his story. First he said he never even went to that racist church of his. When they showed him video evidence of him attending, suddenly he went there, but didn't agree, even though he continued to go there for many years.
Obama is not some man of the people, he's just another asshole in the senate, and apparantly just as much of a liar as anyone in the senate.
Who cares if the pastor said wat he said white people have been doin it for years nigger this nigger that...now somebody says something about u crac....white people and everybody wants to cry...fuck u im glad he said what many were thinkin...so wat if goes to the church whites went to church where the pastor was the leader of the KKK...A lot of u whites r 2sided...jus know when the terrorist come and attack they're coming after you guys...
Ladies and gentlemen, thickesgurl87 represents the kind of ignorant fools that actually take this pastor of his seriously. You seem to lack a will of your own, following blindly these loud, obnoxious, and just plain WRONG "leaders". You are so engraved in following these self-proclaimed leaders that you've become nothing more than a puppet. The words you speak are not your own, they echo someone else's. And like all echos, they are hollow and meaningless. You think terrosts care about you?
Hey, I totally don't know what side you are on but I am going to use the echo thing about how they are hollow and meaningless. Thanks for the poetic idea, and this whole thing with Obama's pastor is just junk. People, just vote for him and watch him turn America into the world we all hope it will be one day.
Thank you, DawsonDreamer. And for the record, I'm not on anyone's "side". I almost decided not to vote this year because everyone I wanted to vote for dropped out months ago. But I decided that even if one candidate is not my first choice, I need to vote out of principal, at least keep a lesser candidate out of power. Don't my name fool you, the "red" in my name has nothing to do with politics. Truth be told, I don't know what it means, lol.
Yeah, I used to try to interperet a lot about a person's user name, and really I did not think that 'red' had anything to do with politics in the first place.
I just hope we don't get (another) bad president this year. That happens and I am moving to Italy... after highschool :-)
When I was 18 during the last election, I was way too emotional, convinced by watching some stupid headlines that I knew everything about politics. I'm a lot wiser than I was 4 years ago, and I've learned not to take anything at first glance. Which is a problem with a lot of Obama's supporters. In general, Senators stink as Presidents because all they do is vote, not run anything. But he's a FRESHMAN Senator, he has no accomplishments. He's not some hero, just another shmuk who wants power.
I don't think he is a hero or a shmuck (yiddish rules!!! :-)
He's just a candidiate trying to change something that went wrong in American Politics. He doesn't have everything people like you and I hope for, but he has a bit of it.
But if this election fails I'm just moving out of the country if I get the chance... okay, maybe not move, but visit for a long time!
America is inching it's way forward. Obama isnt a big step forward, but he's an importnat one.
You're an asshole!! How dare you make those kind of comments!! Its sucks that there are still people in this country as ignorant as you! You think its ok to call white people crackers when we have to be so politically correct and call Black people African American because god forbid we offend anyone!
I'm sick and tired of hearing that the whites are the devil! Not everyone that is the same race is the same person with the same views!! And that terrorist comment is complete BULL----! Douchebag!
great speech, but he pales in comparison to the greatest public speaker of all time... adolf hitler.
i am saying this as a jew, so dont say im anti-semitic. i am saying this as a history buff and i love world war II. do yourself a service and watch some of his speeches on youtube. he could make a crowd scream at once and then make them stop almost immediately. there are public speaking courses that dissect his speeches and break down what he would do and us this as a tool.
Yes, if you pay attention, you'll notice that there are still a lot of politicians today who use Hitler's hand gestures and inflections. But Obama doesn't. :)
One of the greatest speeches I have ever heard; the man is brilliant. This is the first time in my 50 plus years that I have ever heard a politician address the issue of race this well.
