Everyone has read the transcript.
He was talking about CAMPAIGNING.
Obama says lots of things about his political enemies. He could be painted the same. Enough with the demonizing rhetoric.
I'm not demonizing anyone. I think he said exactly what he thought would appeal to his audience. What he thought would show them that he "identified" wink wink with them.
What does the fact that he was campaigning have to do with anything. He said
are dependent upon government, who believe that they are victims, who believe that government has a responsibility to care for them, who believe that they are entitled to health care, to food, to housing, to you-name-it.
that has NOTHING to do with campaigning. If his point was to communicate that there are a group of voters dedicated to Obama and they are lost to him he did not have to use this language which was judgmental and condemning of them. Not to mention, inaccurate. His statements are about the character and values of this group of voters and it fit right in with snobby out of touch rich dude image.
