So what's wrong with this descriptive term used by Barack Obama then? It seems pretty apt and fitting to me. http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/americas/7344532.stm
It might have been better if he didn't specify "small towns in Pennsylvania" or perhaps used the words "some people get bitter", rather than "they get bitter". But really Clinton is probably just trying to blow the statement out of proportion and suggest he has no respect for the working class in Pennsylvania. Are the working class in PA upset he said that, or is it just Clinton pretending like she is upset for them? Most people will probably look at his intentions, I think he was just trying to suggest he wants to help them. Edit: I'm really not supporting any candidate, but in his credit, at least he recognizes there is a problem.
