A great "Strategy Room" on Fox News today.
Angela McGlowan, Bob Beckel, Jane Fleming Kleeb and Michael Steele were on the panel.
On Obama's bitter comments:
McGlowan suggests that between the Rev. Wright debacle and Obama's elitist comments last week in San Francisco, some black folks might jump back to Hillary.
Beckel then goes on offense saying that it is a bit ironic for the wealthy millionaires, McCain and Clinton, to assert they are siding with the poor people of Western Pennsylvania. Beckel says that Obama is right- there is a lot of bitterness and there is a lot of anti-immigrant feeling there.
First, will these pro-illegal alien Democrats ever stop spewing their ignorant, hateful rhetoric about conservative, working class Americans? I have NEVER met a conservative who was simply anti-immigrant. In fact, conservatives tend to be very PRO- immigrant. Generally, conservatives believe that legal and orderly immigration is necessary and contributes to the strength of American society. The embittered people in small towns across America that Obama criticized are often anti-illegal alien not anti-immigrant.
Also, Beckel continually tries to drive a wedge between those who are financially successful and those who hope to someday be financially successful. Wealthy people can understand the struggles of those without financial resources just like people who are poor can appreciate the need for our government to lower taxes on both individuals and business to help rebuild a strong economy.
McGlowan was correct to question whether Ed Rendell's past statement that it will be difficult for a Black man to get the White conservative vote may give insight into Obama's comments. (click here for AP article about Rendell's comments) It seems likely that there is a perception by Obama that there are votes he just can't get.
Obama seems unable to accept that fact that the people who don't support him don't support him because of his politics. Obama's challenge is not tied to his race- it is tied to his far left politics. It would be difficult for any far left liberal of any gender or race to get the vote of ANY conservative...
On a lighter note, Brett Baier quoted Obama talking about Hillary:"She says she values the Second Amendment. She's talking like she's Annie Oakley. Hillary Clinton- she's out there in a duck blind every Sunday packing a six-shooter." Obama can be funny...
I doubt there is a serious gun owner in America who thinks Hillary Clinton is the candidate most likely to protect gun rights.
It was a great show, hitting on several key issues, with McGlowan and Steele running circles around Beckel and Kleeb- no surprise there.
People who don't follow politics just don't know what they are missing...
