Presidential candidate Barack Obama said he “deeply regrets” offending anyone by making a statement saying the “working class” (ie, the poor and disenfranchised) are “bitter” at the economy.
So far so good. But then he throws gasoline on the fire by saying they hate immigrants and they “cling to guns or religion or antipathy to people who aren’t like them.” Political commentators, the biased media and Sen. Hillary Clinton predictably pounced all over this latest Obama gaffe.
Even Obama realizes he made a big mistake: listen to him stutter nervously at the 2:02 mark. Obama goes on to say, “I didn’t say it as well as I should have.”
