I don't think anyone has said that Obama wasn't saying anything he didn't 
hold to be the truth.  I hear the 'speak the truth' explanation used quite 
often 
in defending Obama's gaff.

But the point so many have been making is that it is NOT the truth.  It is 
only Obama's distorted leftist perception of the truth.  Obama said the rural 
Pennsylvanians were clinging to guns and religion because they were bitter 
about 
the political reality.  Said rural Pennsylvnaians (and the armed faithful 
everywhere) have said clearly and emphatically that this is not true.    

Unless Obama found a way to creep into the minds of every such person, he has 
no way of knowing WHY they "cling" to guns and religion.   

Obama is not to be lauded for telling the truth, rather upbraided for not 
being able to distinguish the truth from bias.   </HTML>
