College Discussion - View Single Post - Obama trying his hardest to lose rust belt vote

Speaking of original statements, there is a Charlie Rose segment from 2004 where Obama discusses this very point while Senator Elect. Listening to this interview from two years ago, it's' clear that he was speaking with compassion and not condescension. While he uses some of the same language, he explains his views.
You can find the segment through YouTube (entering Charlie Rose-Obama) , or through the Josh Marshall website, where I found it in an edited form which will show the relevant 3 minutes without having to wade through the whole Rose interview.

I don't expect those who don't like Obama to bother with this, but if you are inclined to vote for him and want a better picture of where he was coming from when he made these remarks, go to Josh Marshall's website and see the clip.

lol-marite- I see we cross posted, here.
