I listened to it from the standpoint of how the opposition will use it to defeat him which is the only thing that matters. The last 10 years has proven that the the masses will buy anything they're fed and will believe anything regardless of the facts or the truth.. the Republicans are skilled at playing to the public's biases and prejudices.. The Democrats are rarely able to use common sense to explain things to the masses... The Republicans figured out awhile ago that the only thing that matters is winning.. The Democrats and the "idealist" portion of society that tends to vote Democrat hasn't figured that part out yet.
I'd love to see Obama win and actually make real changes.. But I really don't see either one happening... Even if he does happen to pull it off and win, his presidency just won't get much done.. He hasn't gotten much done prior to it and because of the history making aspect of his presidency he's going spend a lot of time on photo ops etc.
What's sort of "sad" is that Hillary is slammed for doing "anything to win" and yet that's exactly what's needed.. Not just to win the election in November, but also to lead and change the country.
Look at it this way.. By his statement "I" believe he doesn't respect our bitterness or our religious or gun toting beliefs... Now convince me I'm wrong in 20 seconds.. Cause that's what it's going to come down to come election time.
