"Projecting" Bittergate
I'm sure Barack never thought any condescending thought towards people that won't vote for him.
You know why? Because I've heard similar statements from him in the past, although most of the time, his construction is a lot better. See for example his Charlie Rose interview.
So all of these people who assume that he MUST think something's wrong with these people are just projecting. Because, in his shoes, if they had a hard time winning somebody over, they'd blame it on them.
But that's not what Barack is about. He knows that it's not that there's something wrong with them.
There's been something wrong with government for the last 30 years.
These people have been through hell, and they just gave up hope.
Even Bill said it back in the day: They're not voting for somebody who
promises them things, because they know they won't deliver.
Instead, they vote for those that promise not to take more things away from them.
That's why we need to keep fighting for Barack. He actually plans to restore people's trust in government. It's a hard battle, but it's worth it. And if this works, this investment of effort would keep giving for a long time.
