The slide show and article (from late March, but especially relevant now) ring very true, especially here in the heartland. Please take a chance to look at slide 8 of 9. I wonder how Senator Obama got the idea that people cling to their guns??? Or are bitter...
The truth is we (the entire heartland) are bitter. We are tired of getting burned by politicians that pretend to have our interests and mind. We don't need our politicians to enjoy hunting, to drink beer, and to speak in an uniformed and unintelligent manner so we 'relate'. We don't want someone leading us that panders to our fears and gives us only the palatable and simple 'solutions' to the complex problems facing the United States and the world.
We need someone that acts as a catalyst for change. We need someone that gives us hope that this change can actually happen. We need to believe that we can each be a pivotal part of this change, and that we each play a role in shaping America into the great nation we all know it can be. We need Senator Obama as President.
