Obama Concedes PA to Hillary April 11, 2008

The Politico, re an exact quote from Barack Obama campaigning in Pennsylvania:
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…And they fell through the Clinton administration, and the Bush administration, and each successive administration has said that somehow these communities are gonna regenerate and they have not.
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.
So the only kind of white people who are religious, own guns, opposed to mass immigration and opposed to free trade are unemployed? If Obama’s “wink wink” towards Ottawa while he was campaigning against free trade in Ohio wasn’t enough to convince you that he’s a free trade globalist, this should clinch the deal.
