Here Obama patronizes a female reporter who asked him how he proposed to help autoworkers in Detroit, Michigan. Barack displays his usual smugness and arrogance which puts him at odds with blue -collar voters.
It is an echo of his bittergate comments in San Francisco "You got into 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," .................................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."
Obama as usual avoided the hard question. He has no solutions to the problems of the Michigan autoworkers.
