** BREAKING NEWS—BARACK OBAMA INSULTS SMALL TOWN PENNSYLVANIA AT SAN FRANCISCO FUNDRAISER.**

[The Politico]

Obama's remarks at a San Francisco fundraiser Sunday, attempted to explain the “bitterness” in “small-town Pennsylvania” that won't be appreciated by some of the people whose votes Obama's seeking:

“You go 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...And they fell through the Clinton administration, and the Bush administration, and each successive administration has said that somehow these communities are gonna regenerate and they have not.

“And it's not surprising then 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.”

OUR TAKE: Obama has written off Pennsylvania, and hopes to minimize his loss there on April 22 through is massive ad buys. But we predict Hillary Clinton willing Pennsylvania by double digits.
