It's heartening to read the understanding comments from the people of Pennsylvania about Senator Obama's description of the plight of the left behind workers. They and their fellow victims of old time NAFTA, CAFTA and GATT beltway politics can see that the truth does mean something and that Obama as president represents a real hope they have for increasing jobs in blighted factory towns and cities.
"Bitter" is a mild word describing the state of mind of forgotten working people. We must all begin to help them have good jobs again by voting for Obama and anyone else who has the ability to bring out the best in us. We need to end the divisiveness and get America back to work!
