Folks agree with Barack Obama in at least one Pennsylvania trailer park. But will angry voters help or hurt Democrats in swing states this fall?
  • I live in the midwest

    I live in the midwest and what this lastest brohaha by the media mostly points to is who really is out of touch.

    While Obama knows full well how we feel because he has seen it in his state of Illinois where so many jobs here have gone to Mexico and China, the press thinks the way to address this is to tiptoe around the issue or ignore it.

    Obama, essentially is getting slammed by the traditional media for telling the truth of how we feel.

    McCain and Clinton are as out of touch as the msm. They put us in this stereotypical view and pretend we are not angry. Resentful. And Bitter. They play the same old political games rather than take the opportunity to realistically discuss this issue.

    And the talking heads, NY Times, ect. lambast and dither over how Obama 'insulted' us and will be destroyed by big bad republicans.

    The media, McCain, republicans and Clinton are stuck in the 90s with their old school politics.

    And all of these are confounded because obama is not taking a hit by the voters.

    Maybe it's because he is right and we appreciate his talking to us like adults and not pandering and pretending to go duck hunting and downing shots with the boys in some tavern.
