obama vs. small town pa?
So now I've read Obama's comments on small-town Pennsylvanians. I have to admit I understand where he's coming from. I've said much the same thing in regard to Hazleton's immigration laws - or the attitudes of some from Lancaster County, for that matter.
However, there's a difference between me criticizing the attitudes of fellow Pennsylvanians and an outsider doing it. I still support Obama, but I wish he had spoken more carefully.

Sarah: True.
Joanna: I agree. It's the kind of armchair psychoanalysis that makes it bad.
Jeannette: Thanks for the link. I think that the author of that blog post is a too charitable in his interpretation of Obama's statement, but definitely makes some good points.
