I saw the coverage on those comments and heard what he said. To me, it sounds like he IS more in touch with the people of Pennsylvania (and America). Life is not all roses as McCain and Hillary say it is. People have been worn down by a bad economy, a ridiculous war and a stagnant government. It's a fact, most Americans ARE bitter, and disappointed in their government. So to say that Obama is "out of touch" with the people of Pennsylvania is SIMPLY WRONG!
Also, I see McHillary trying to paint Obama as an elitist; "you need a president who doesn't look down on people..." is what Hillary said. That's absurd!! Obama is Not an elitist; he came from nothing just like most of us. It's only recently he's come into financially better times based off book sales and his wife's successes.
If he's such an elitist then why would he be asking so much of us, the common folk? He's asking us to become more involved with our government, hold them accountable, keep them transparent and make sure they represent us. He doesn't want us to just vote for him and then go on about your lives, like the "Don't-worry-about-what's-going-on-in-Washington-we've-got-it-covered" attitude that I get from Mcain and Hillary.
I think the one part of his statements that will need explaining, or 'sanding', is when he said something about how people "revert to religion or hold their guns tighter..." (paraphrasing here).
From my perspective, I think what he means is that people turn back to what makes them comfortable, or they get defensive, in times of trouble and hardships. I think the wording he used does give fodder to his competitors, but the underlying message is accurate and on point.
