Maybe people were shocked at Obama's remarks because they are not used to politicians telling the truth. Americans are bitter, angry, and frustrated. Why not? The middle class is shrinking. We have millions of people without jobs, without health care, with exploding mortgages, $4 a gallon gasoline, and no prospect of sending their kids to college. We have seen our economy and infrastructure crumble while lives and money have been wasted in Iraq. Our government does not listen to us. Yes, we are angry.
The remarks about guns and cultural issues are also true. In past elections, wedge issues, like guns and gays, were in every stump speech and even on the ballot. Politicians used them to divide and distract. They knew many people of faith would vote against their own self interest because of hot button issues. I am glad Obama brought them up. It allows us to discuss what really affects us. It empowers us so we won't be fooled again!
