| Marite, I think you should listen to his original statements on huffintingpost instead of the spin.
I am not suggesting what you should do; to me primary sources are very important not the spin version.
To even suggest that people cling to religion out bitterness due to their economic situation, to me, represents a lack of understanding of religious people. Perhaps, he made these statements because a lot of the people in his church are clinging on to the church out of bitterness.
I think Obama grew up in a much more privilege background than Hillary. He was originally recruited specifically to help organize the people from south side Chicago because the white organizers were not making any progress with this group. He has some experience dealing with poor people, but they were mostly black.
