Barack Obama was joined by Senator Bob Casey this morning for events in Duryea and Wyoming, just outside Scranton. As a native of Northeastern Pennsylvania, this was territory that Bob knows well. He was equally at home in a town meeting at the SCHOTT glass factory as he was grabbing a slice of pie at the Avenue Diner.
Bob is always impressed with the grit or his neighbors, in tough times past, and in our current struggling economy. "The people of Northeastern Pennsylvania have a heritage of struggle and sacrifice," Bob told the crowd in Duryea. He also cited Barack's own success as a self-made man, explaining that "This is something that Barack knows about."
