Hicks Nix Slick's Tricks

Here's a video of Obama making the now-infamous talk at "Billionaire's Row" in San Francisco. This clip immediately precedes his statement about how bitter working-class whites cling to religion, guns, and xenophobia "as a way to explain their frustrations." Do note the posh surroundings, his natty outfit, and the opulence of the setting, including the audience of rich donors.

Here's the transcript, via Politico:

Here's how it is: in a lot of these communities in big industrial states like Ohio and Pennsylvania, people have been beaten down so long, and they feel so betrayed by government, and when they hear a pitch that is premised on not being cynical about government, then a part of them just doesn't buy it. And when it's delivered by -- it's true that when it's delivered by a 46-year-old black man named Barack Obama (laugher), then that adds another layer of skepticism.

Yeah, when these small-town folk hear something from a black man, they're less likely to believe him. I'd say Obama's paid close attention to Jeremiah Wright's sermons about whites.

Compare that to the TV commercial Obama's running here in North Carolina. Keep in mind that at the exclusive fund-raiser in San Francisco, he had put down the working class for their "anti-trade sentiment." But in this ad, the sleeves of his white shirt are rolled up, he's surrounded by admiring working-class whites, and he's railing against the globalist corporations that move their operations to China:



This "anti-spin" candidate is the best spinner I've ever seen. He's goooood!
