Obama's blunder "Having grown up in one of those small Pennsylvania towns Sen. Barack Obama sneers at, I know what really makes people there 'bitter.' It's slick-talking politicians who look down on their beliefs and values," New York Daily News columnist Michael Goodwin writes. "Small-town people get doubly 'bitter' when those pols have the gall to ask for their votes while demeaning their lives. See, even hicks don't like being played for suckers," Mr. Goodwin said. "When they accused Obama of being out of touch for saying small-towners 'cling to guns or religion' out of frustration, Sens. Hillary Clinton and John McCain were too kind. "Snob-ama is not just out of touch. He's from another planet. "He might consider going back there, because the White House now looks out of reach. All the more so because he later added opposition to gay marriage as another sign of benighted bitterness. "Snob-ama's lame concession [Saturday] that his mistake was 'I didn't say it as well as I should have' only makes the repeated smear worse. He should get off his Ivy League horse and apologize to the millions of Americans he insulted. As it stands, he has confirmed he doesn't understand or respect them."
