Media loves sound bites and controversy. And if that's what is repeated, particularly since this speech wasn't done on camera for easy reference, that's what people hear. They're still saying "Obama's bitter comment" while talking about the original comment, his clarification, Clinton's response, and his response to her.
Some certainly would have. People who are already polarized are going to see anything he says as confirmation of their point of view.

Exactly...that's why in the other thread paralelling this one, I went over everything that has happened in the past 25 years (some may or may not agree) to show that Obama may have a point....I will say again....when the govt has messed with your money long enough...eventually you will get salty too...
It's nothing I hate worse that when someone establishes a business that 'guarantees job growth' and the only jobs offered are menial minimum wage type jobs...people are tired of jobs that doesn't pay anywhere near cost of living and people are tired of having the gov't constantly take away thier livelyhood and sent elsewhere.
SO yeah...when you live areas that are hard hit with disappearing life careers and that is all you know...I can't blame them for being pissed every 4 years and nothing changes for the better...it's not called being an elitist or out of touch.
Being out of touch is saying that people in those areas hardest hit can find a way to get by or that they need to catch up to the 21st century or "I don't see why they can't learn how to manage with what they have."
