In Indiana, many voters had not heard of Obama's remarks, which appeared on the front page of the Indianapolis Star. Among those who had, feelings were sometimes mixed.

Tom Hair, an undecided voter who works at a manufacturing plant in Indianapolis that Clinton visited on Saturday, said Obama's remarks about people from small towns were "condescending."

"He seems like he meant what he said," Hair said of Obama.

But he added that he and other workers at Allison Transmission, which makes transmissions for military vehicles, are frustrated by the influx of illegal immigrants and trade deals.

"You have to be realistic about it," Hair said. "There are a lot of angry people."

3. the question is whether people will wake the fuck up to their own anger

and betrayal, or whether they'll continue to be led by the nose and blame Queers/Jews/Liberals, etc., et al for the misery the elites piss down on them...

5. I thought this part was interesting:

"Inside Obama's inner circle, aides conceded they are not sure where the issue might lead, although it is likely to set the tone and raise the stakes of the Wednesday night debate between Clinton and Obama in Pennsylvania. They described Obama as frustrated with himself for word choices such as "cling" and references to hot-button issues including religion and guns, but also stunned at the uproar over what to him seemed a fundamental fact of American life."
