I don't think it's that simple, Don.   In context or out of context the 
message reads pretty much the same.  That is:  The former way of life based 
on 
industrial jobs has been gone for 25 years and Bush and Clinton have promised 
you 
that they can bring it back, they can't, but I can."  Obama's are not the 
SAME 
flawed and failed policies, the are NEW flawed and failed policies.  They do 
not take in the insight and courage to say, "Those jobs are NEVER coming 
back, 
no one can make them come back, it's time to do something else entirely, like 
not consume so much."

None the less, in context or out, Obama is saying "The only reason you people 
are supporting gun rights and are involved in religion is because 'You've 
never had a friend like me (the Genie in Disney's 'Aladin')."   In one 
idiotic 
statement Obama has belittled and alienated two important foundation stones 
of 
American life that were here long before he was on the scene and will be here 
long after he's gone from the scene (which, as things are playing out, might 
not be long).

He stepped in it big time.
