Obama expresses regret for remarks on small towns

Here is an EXCELLENT way to alienate a large population of Americans.  KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK OBAMA!

"Facing an outcry from Hillary Rodham Clinton and John McCain, Barack Obama expressed regret Saturday for saying that small-town Americans embittered by job losses cling to religion, guns and hostility toward immigrants to explain their frustrations."

Yes, and he came out and said basically, he could have worded it better but he was right.  Just like the Rev Wright could have worded it better but he can't disavow him.

I am in PA.  He doesn't know his a**.  If people were going to God and Guns because they are angry at the Government and their economical situations, I can assure you based on what I know of the people here, there would be alot of dead politicians right now.  

People in small town PA go to God because they have a deep, abiding faith in the Lord.  People in Illinois who run to Trinity United run to church because they have a deep abiding hatred towards the country, towards whites and towards everything with "personal responsibility" attached.  Perhaps that is why Barack Obama is confused.  He was really talking about the congregation that attends Rev. Wright's church.

People in PA do not run to guns because they are angry.  People in PA wholeheartedly believe in the Second Amendment.  Barack Obama, despite his claims here in PA that he is pro-guns, is totally against the right of the people to own handguns.  His record precedes his words.   He is no better than a lying Clinton.  He will say whatever he thinks will go over just to get elected

However, what he was basically saying is that we (meaning him and the Government) will take care of everyone and so therefore, they will take away God and Guns in favor of the nanny state where everyone lives happily ever after.  Socialism will reign and socialism will take care of everyone for the greater good.  That militia talked about in the Constitution will emmanate from small town PA and many other small towns across this US.  Quinn's Law:  Freedom and Liberty are the answer to the Human Condition.

We've got to do a better job of getting across that America is freedom--freedom of speech, freedom of religion, freedom of enterprise. And freedom is special and rare. It's fragile; it needs protection.

You are right!  People of faith in this country--whether from small town or large urban population--worship God not because they are bitter--OR, for the help they can receive in time of crisis--but, because the Christian Gospel has the ring of truth to it.  We believe, not because it is a good thing to do...but, because it is truth.

Obama has revealed his own bias against people of faith...as well as the shallowness of his own belief system.

Rev. Jeremiah Wright told a congregation in Norfolk, Va., on Sunday that reporters sneaked into a private funeral service a day before, in which he blasted America’s founding fathers for slavery and white supremacy and received standing ovations for attacking FOX News for covering his anti-American sermons.
Barack Obama’s retiring pastor delivered a sermon at Bank Street Memorial Baptist Church, where his late uncle had been the pastor, about overcoming trouble. The public appearance was his first since news broke that the Democratic presidential candidate’s pastor frequently rails on the United States.
“Some troubles that come up in your life come up out of nowhere,” Wright said. At the end of the two-hour-plus service, about two dozen ministers gathered around Wright and his daughter to pray for them. One of the ministers asked God to give Wright courage as “the world tries to demonize him.”
Though Wright said nothing about Obama or the uproar itself, he alluded to the controversy while briefly back in the pulpit Saturday to deliver a eulogy for a late congregant of Trinity United Church of Christ — former appellate judge R. Eugene Pincham.
Wright, who is on sabbatical before retiring from Trinity United, said America’s mistreatment of blacks is the result of the founding fathers, who “planted slavery and white supremacy in the DNA of this republic.”
First reported by The Chicago Sun Times, Wright told mourners at the funeral that Thomas Jefferson, who partook in “pedophilia,” would also be considered unpatriotic these days because he wrote, “God would punish America for the sin of slavery.” He also quoted Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice, who said that the U.S. has a “congenital birth defect.”
Speaking of the seven lessons Pincham taught him, Wright said the judge’s faith “was not the jingoistic, chauvinistic ‘you’re either with us or against us’ demonizing kind of faith.”
“FOX News can’t understand that,” Wright said to rousing cheers and applause. “[Bill] O’Reilly will never get that. Sean Hannity’s stupid fantasy will keep him forever stuck on stupid when it comes to comprehending how you can love a brother who does not believe what you believe. [Pincham’s] faith was a faith in a God who loved the whole world not just one country or one creed.”
