Best Answer - Chosen by Voters

Obama is an elitist, pure and simple. Read what his church and friend Rev Wright stand for.
Rev Wright below:
"The government gives them the drugs, builds bigger prisons, passes a three-strike law and then wants us to sing 'God Bless America.' No, no, no, God damn America, that's in the Bible for killing innocent people," he said in a 2003 sermon. "God damn America for treating our citizens as less than human. God damn America for as long as she acts like she is God and she is supreme."

In addition to damning America, he told his congregation on the Sunday after Sept. 11, 2001 that the United States had brought on al Qaeda's attacks because of its own terrorism. "


i have given just a few links to see a bit more (a lot more) into the beliefs and the words Obama listened to and has lived by for over 20 plus years. Think for your selves people.

Answer 9

Answer 10

Because his handlers didn't go over his scripts closely enough.

Answer 11

Because some one lives in Small towns that does not make them a "Hick".

Obama does not know what he is talking about. He has no Idea what the people in people in "Small Town" think or do
His focus has been on large cities and demographic studies with statement made to excite people based on demographics instead of who they really are.

He has not Idea what the small store owners that is hanging on by their teeth go through each day. He has no idea what the individual working for minimum wage thinks and how they have to pinch pennies just to exist. These people are not just barley existing because of free trade or out sourcing it because of taxes.

Drive through some of the "Small Town" and take the time to talk with the people. I have. In the last six years I have traveled all over the Midwest, Wyoming, Montana, North and South Dakota, Colorado, New Mexico, Arizona, Oklahoma, Arkansas and Texas always avoiding large cities and the congestion I live in an RV. All the people in these "Small Towns" are down to earth people and are deeply concerned citizens and their major concern is taxes.

Demographics do not show the feelings of people that he has hurt deeply because all he is concerned about is getting the vote and will say or do anything to get it.

Answer 12

Nobama made this statement to impress his Billionaire friends in SF. When they asked him why he was losing his
butt in PA. He felt by slamming us, He could make them
feel more important, and give him more money. Well there
were 20 or 30 of them and Millions of us. Boy is just as
dumb as I always thought he was.

Answer 13

well first , misquoting Obama is a sure sign of desperation.

He said displaced worker are bitter and have turned to God.

Lets correct that We workers are mad as Hell, and anybody who comes messing with us to take our house might get shot.

Answer 14

obama was only again telling the honest truth ,i will not spend half my session here on ya explaining what obama meant in his comments . if only every American had a good education then they too would understand what obama was trying to say to the voters

Answer 15

Now I see why America ranks low in education worldwide.

You're a prime manifestation.

Answer 16

to get votes in order to get into power so that he can use globalist agenda in the way HE wants to. he is a globalist

Answer 17

Well first let me say that this was taken "out of context";D Obama really meant the intelligent rural peoples of small towns, next Obama "does not need to defend himself" because he is an "African American " who "speaks the objective truth". African Americans alone under liberal law are permitted to stereotype other people and to be racist and then demand that people disrespect themselves and vote for them. Remember, Obama has every right because he is an African American to demean people in this country and they should still vote for him because he is "an African American" with 3 years in the senate. Also please "don't take "bitter hicks clinging to their religion and guns" out of context". Like i said African Americans under a new liberal constitutional tenet are allowed to disrespect others because centuries ago some of their ancestors were slaves. Even though the people who sold the slaves and made moneyu off of them were black Africans-like OBAMA. AND The first abolitionists were whites but that is not importantt. African Americans today have suffered so much under affirmative action and self-loathing white liberals kissing their butts. SO get down on your knees and kiss obama's butt because that is what he believes you should do. Even though he has no intelligence whatsoever, conducts himself like a blithering fool in debates, has no reasoning ability is a Black Nazi following a racist theology-Black Liberation Theology and has no experience whatsoever pertinent to holding any elected office let alone the highest one.

Answer 18

Umm... cause he's a dumbass. Bitter, racist, elitist dumbass.
