Dear Mrs. Clinton,

What exactly was it about Barack Obama’s comments on small towns that show he’s out of touch with the values of common folk?

I’ve cut and pasted what the Huffington Post reported below:

“You go into these small towns in Pennsylvania and, like a lot of small towns in the Midwest, the jobs have been gone now for 25 years and nothing's replaced them...And they fell through the Clinton administration, and the Bush administration, and each successive administration has said that somehow these communities are gonna regenerate and they have not.

And it's not surprising then they get bitter, they cling to guns or religion or antipathy to people who aren't like them or anti-immigrant sentiment or anti-trade sentiment as a way to explain their frustrations.”

Sounds to me like he’s very much in touch. While blue collar America probably doesn’t like looking at itself in the mirror, clearly the guy has spent some time thinking about what’s wrong with this country.

I hope that if he’s elected, he puts his money where his mouth is and does all he can to support an improved education system across the board so that some of these systemic problems in our society are mitigated.

But of course Mrs. Clinton you don’t want that. Just like your Republican friends across the aisle, you play on people’s ignorance, their fears, and their prejudices to get elected.

BOO, Mrs. Clinton, BOO

We’re tired of the same ole, same ole. Go back to Arkansas or New York, or wherever you call home these days and leave us alone.
