but there is a core problem that obama's supporters are missing: the problem here is his speaking about one group (the so-called low-educated and downscale -- who are generally considered hillary supporters) to another group (the so-called educated and upscale) -- behind their backs. no one likes it and never has. and people of genuine good will toward obama, but who support hillary, resent it with cause. the negative reaction to his remarks is a very fundamental, human one. i don't agree with obama lumping everyone together as gun loving xenophobics. i'm not one, and i live here.
if the image of him projected by the campaign is of one who is conciliatory and a unifier, do you think such behavior makes for unity -- or success? it shows, like it or not, distain. this is not an example of bringing people together.
