Obama Does NOT Need the White Working Class to Win?

by an Obama Who ? writer;

Ok, here we go again.  It was not enough for Obama himself to bash small town America with his comments of clinging to guns, religion because they are bitter so now his campaign manager comes out and states they do not need their votes to win. 

During an interview with NPR, Obama’s top strategist David Axelrod played down his candidate’s recent loss in Pennsylvania.

“The white working class has gone to the Republican nominee for many elections, going back even to the Clinton years,” Axelrod said. “This is not new that Democratic candidates don’t rely solely on those votes.”

He also said winning Pennsylvania was “an almost impossible task” and “a home game” for Clinton. “It hasn’t changed the fundamentals of the race.”

Ok then, Obama does not need us white working class at all to win.  Obama first bashed small town America  then his Campaign manager  further bashed small town America. Next Obama stated that the problem with PA was the old people as he couldn’t win their votes.  While at a rally in North Carolina today, Bill Clinton fired back at Axelrod’s statements with the following:

“Bill Clinton fired up a Tar Heel crowd here today by recounting some facts and figures from his wife’s victory in Pennsylvania. He said that victory was made possible by “people like you,” “Today her opponent’s campaign strategist said, ‘Well, we don’t really need these working-class people to win, half the time they vote for Republicans anyways,’” he said, while speaking from a flatbed truck on a baseball field. “I will tell you something — America needs you to win and therefore Hillary wants your support and I hope you will help her in this primary in North Carolina.”

It was apparent the Bill Clinton was referring to the statement of David Axelrod when he told NPR that “white working class has gone to the Republican nominee for many elections, going back even to the Clinton years” and that Democratic party “haven’t solely relied on the demographics.”

Well, well, well, the almighty Obama does not need the votes of working class people to raise him up to his level of being the king of our country!  Who is Obama going to come out and bash next?  We the middle class people he doesn’t need and he continues to bash? 

Now Obama is whining again about the new McCain ads?  I watched this ad and found it not to be frightening at all.  Now he is saying it is a scare tactic because Bin Laden picture is in Hillary’s ad?  Ok, we are not from the planet Xenox or something, we know terrorism is out there. It is a real threat and Bin Laden is a REAL PERSON and represents a real threat to the United States.  Geesh Obama can’t handle this pressure?  Do I want this man answering the 3:00 am phone?  No way! If he thinks an image of Bin Laden is going to scare people then how would he handle a real threat if it happened here?  Of course what to hell do I know, I am just a white working class person from middle class America with four earned degrees and he doesn’t need my vote or opinion.
