“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.”
That recent pearl of wisdom from Barak Obama about rural America (heck, most of America! - ed.) prompted an Instapundit reader to suggest this as a response:
Even though I'm not a big country music fan, I couldn't agree more.
Whthout knowing it, Obama has clarified the real divide in this country - the "two Americas" - those who hate this country but believe government is the solution; and those who love this country but believe government is the problem.
UPDATE: Frank J. at IMAO has some thoughts on the issue, including this gem:
"If bitter people are clinging to guns, don't we need a president whose smart enough not to upset them?"
Well, yeah. And, he coins the next new political acronym.
