Does this sound like an elitist? (Context of what Obama said in SF) (edited)

Here's your CONTEXT: What Obama Really Said on April 6 in SF

It should be plastered all over the Internet. The media certainly will never show it! (if it's already been posted in GDP, then my apologies)

This is a clip of Barak Obama's remarks to supporters in San Francisco on April 6, 2008. It is the section just BEFORE the so-called "bitter" remarks about Pennsylvania and Ohio that have generated controversy. It provides the context in which those remarks were made...

Neither myself, Ashley Allen nor Cellular Records are, in any way, connected to Barak Obama's campaign organization... We are, however, disgusted by the way the Senator's remarks have been twisted out of context to support a charge of "elitism" when, clearly, they were nothing of the sort... The quality of the video is poor (it was shot with a point-and-shoot camera).

The quality of the audio, however, is excellent, as are Senator Obama's remarks

Barack Obama on Rural and Working Class America, Circa 2004
Obama in 2004
04.12.08 -- 11:45PM By Josh Marshall

TPM Reader GB sent me in the video of a 2004 appearance by Barack Obama on the Charlie Rose show in which he talks about the same issue of rural and working class Americans and the Democratic party. It's from November 23rd, 2004, so just after Obama was first elected to the senate but a couple months before he was sworn in.

It's interesting to watch since it's in a very non-campaign setting and almost four years ago. He makes exactly the same point, but explains it differently. Some of it is likely equally demagoguable, but shows up some of the tendentious misconstruals of what he said.

1. I wish the news media and politicians were honest enough to evaluate context

2. Unfortunately, Hillary, her supporters and the MSM care nothing about "context".

[stray cat]

3. True - But perhaps the statements context will go viral like some of this speeches

and bypass the MSM and political pundits
