It's still true.

Quote:Obama (April 6): You go into some of 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.

Blame the other guy.  Blame the stranger.  Blame someone "attacking" your rights.

Don't look for answers.

And that sentiment is now what drives most politicians on each side from local to federal elections.  Blame, fear, etc...

MY side will make it better.
THEIR side is out to get you and the things you hold dear.

It's all BS.
