‘They Cling to Guns or Religion’: Obama Takes Heat for Remarks about ‘Bitter’ Small Towns

Once seen as closing the lead that Hillary Clinton had over him in the Keystone State, Barack Obama now finds himself trying to explain remarks he made at a San Francisco fundraiser that won’t sit well with blue-collar Pennsylvanians in the run-up to the April 22nd primary. Take note of Hillary’s response.

This is the moment that John McCain and Hillary Clinton were waiting for in this election – a chance to exploit a self-created dent in Obama’s armor. I don’t think that this is Obama’s ‘John Kerry moment’ (you’ll remember the classic ‘for it before I was against it’ remark), but it isn’t a stumble he’ll soon recover from. In a state that prides itself on the hardscrabble lives of its legendary coal miners and steel workers, a remark like this won’t quickly be forgotten.

If there is one error he has made thus far, it could be this one. Clearly, another chance for Hillary is on the horizon.

    Barach Oboma seems to have been a student and follower of the Reverand Wright for a number of years and has talked on the good things the minister had done but not much about the false aqusations made by him and his church concerning their claim concerning agregious acts commited by the U.S. Govt.

    Now Barach is affiliated with George Soros whose views about our society and politics are well known. The speech made by Barrach closely reflect George’s views on our country and his political science views namely the validity of our constitutional rights including- the right to bear arms and freedom of religion.

    I remember the Communists used to refer to our freedom of religion
    as a narcotic of the masses.I am concerned that this speech was a trial ballon to see how the public would react to derogative speech about them and their form of government.

    If you hang out with the KKK for 20 years it will be hard to say you don’t share their views. If you hand out with Rev. Wright for 20 years it is no different. When you say that small town (whites) use guns and religion to work out their frustrations on immigrants it reinforces that you are Rev. Wright’s follower. It dovetails with going to Moslem hate schools as a kid and thinking it’s OK to dive planes into buildings to express frustrations with whites and to use your kids as bombs. What is obvious is that he’s consistent. As a kid he hates white Christians (and probably the US), and as an adult he is in a church that hates whites and preaches “God damn the U.S.” so naturally he sees small town whites as wanting guns to keep immigrants out and he sees Christians as WHITE adversaries .. so much for uniting the country. Since Hillary votes against guns and religion ALL THE TIME .. who does that leave standing? There’s only 3 running..

    OBAMA said, “THEY CLING TO RELIGION” Yes, As a Christion, the principle of HOLDING FAST TO ONE”S FAITH so that GOD CAN ACCOMPLISH what MAN CANNOT is the KEY. Our “HOLDIND FAST” or “CLINGING” is a HUGE POSITIVE FOR THIS COUNTRY as WE ALIGN OUR SPOKEN FAITH CONFESSIONS IN AGREEMENT WITH GOD’S ACTUAL PROMISES OF ABUNDANT BLESSINGS which are in HIS WRITTEN WORD. Now BECAUSE GOD CANNOT LIE, HIS AMAZING BLESSINGS MUST CONSEQUENTLY MANIFEST !!! The so called “clinging” is what brings Heaven to Earth and Heaven into our individual lives! TRY THIS SOMETIME IF YOU HAVEN’T ALREADY. YOU WILL BE AMAZED AT THE RESULTS. I don’t know why it works, but, God just set it up that way. Goto kcm.org video for “Blessings Manifestaion” how to’s.
