Rico don' get it

Much hoohah is being made over a comment that Barack Obama made on the campaign trail 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 going to 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."
Clinton, of course, jumped right up his ass about it, citing him as being 'elitist'.

The Chicago Tribune adds Obama, "stepping up his defense" yesterday, saying in Steelton, "She is running around talking about how this is an insult to sportsmen, how she values the Second Amendment. She's talking like she is Annie Oakley."

Having been to some of those small towns throughout Pennsylvania, Rico says that Obama hit it right on the head, of course, and Clinton wouldn't know who Annie Oakley is if Annie shot her...
