or spinning anything. You have to realized implied intent is far different than percieved intent. However any who call Obama an Elitist is gravely mistaken. I for one support Hillary and will do so to the "bitter" end cannot find reasoning for her calling him an elitist or Senator John Mccain as well. Both of these two candidates are very wealthy and to call Obama who grew up in the south side of chicago an elitist is preposterous.

Consider this carefully. I have lost my job due to Nafta and bad trade deals but i do not "cling to religion.." because of unemployment. I cling to religion because it makes my life spiritually better. I do not "cling to guns.." because of harsh financial conditions. I dont "cling" to guns at all but to protect myself from those who might do me harm. And to say "cling to anti-immigrant sentiment..." is calling me a racist because I percieved my job was taken from me by some immigrant when in fact my job was taken away by Bill Clinton and other Nafta supporters. And finally "cling to anti-trade sentiment" is ridiculous....I am not against trade because my job is gone. I am for trade but America having an equal playing field. For example: if your corporation is based in the US then your product should be made here in the United states. Not some sweat shop to increase the Corporation's bottom line.

For all who have a problem with Obama's statement in SF above is how it will be percived. What he implied is irrelevant. Instead of apologizing for it now he never should have said it in the first place.
