But Obama's comments show two things.

1. He is out of touch with the millions of people to whom such as 2nd
amendment rights are an important facet of their freedom. And likewise many more
millions for whom religion is the same. Too out of touch to be a leader. This
is the bias.

As a Chicagoan, he sees guns differently than I do. I see him doing no harm, especially as the Supremes will be making their ruling on the Washington, DC case this year.

2. He evaluates the 'bitter voter' as only holding onto his guns and
religion because he doesn't know any better, doesn't know that Obama's view and
Obama's plan for him are better. That's the bigotry,


I see it differently, based on all he has said and written. Partly what I like is he is saying things that others only think. I think his choice of words was bad. I see no evidence of bigotry whatsoever. His background has nearly made him immune to bigotry. He seems to me to very tolerant of opposing views.
