"Since when is bringing attention to the fact that people are upset with the current administration an insult?"

You just don't get it. The people who are getting insulted are not insulted 'cause they think Obama is saying they are upset with their financial situation or the current administration. They are insulted cause they think that Obama (and people like him) think they like guns, religion, etc, due to their economic problems.

It may be exactly how Marite has thought it out in terms of dynamics, but the guy with Bambi in the back of the pickup won't interpret it that way. He's going to think Obama is insulting his lifestyle; that's how it's going to come across to him. The feeling this guy will get is that Obama is saying "vote for me and I'll make things so good for you that you won't need to cling to your guns and your religion and hate immigrants any more - you'll change for the better". These people don't do what they do cause they feel bad - they LIKE their lifestyle and are tired of liberals putting it down.
