Foot in mouth disease or just some earwax?

News about Obama's blunder in Pennsylvania and letting his thoughts get the best of him were on the news and on everyone's lips. Being confused and treated to a string of speculations, reckoning and personal take on the incident, I surfed to see for my self. The damning statement was…

 “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."

As I read each word and try to interpret the phrase, it just doesn't sound as menacing as it was made to appear. In all intents and purposes, Obama is a very courageous candidate, he spoke his mind even if it hurt him. Isn't that what a Head of State is supposed to do?  My vote is important, and I feel it should go to the politician who'd risk everyones vote just to give the nation a glimpse of where we must correct ourselves. I find it funny that Obama's opponents have made a circus of his statement, twisting the interpretation just to get people to vote for them and the other party, lol!

The statement was made to stress a people's sense of hope and where it lies. Religion plays a big part in a person's life, it is where we learn good from evil. World peace would never come at the barrel of an AK-47, ever!
