It's the same attitude Coakley displayed when she mocked having better things to do than standing out in the cold at Fenway Park and shaking hands.

This undeclared civil war of words is about urban elitists versus the rest of America.

It's not just that this might be viewed as a callus display of 0bama having little empathy for the millions of people either out of work, or so financially strapped that they cannot afford to buy a truck, but it was childish to repeatedly go tease and criticize Brown for owning a truck.

He once again is showing his elitist attitude with this comment!

Yes it is very childish. But then he did on the presidential campaign trail every chance he got ( I say presidential campaign trail because he is "still" campaigning)
It says he is out of touch with the working class American and does not care to realize how they might live!

This was a racist attack on white men who own a truck is what it is. He needs to apologize for his racist comment.


It was his way to make sure that losers stay losers and rich people stay rich.

He knows he cannot control rich people but he has found a way to make sure anyone who is on the edge ends up poor.

Liberals love those poor folks on government assistance.

Obama is killing the middle class America faster then anyone in our history.

He knows a very, very few can afford a new or even a used truck.

Ohhhh, he owns all the trucks now, so he thinks everyone else can afford one as well.

This commander and cheat will go down as the biggest mistake this country has ever made.

I never thought Carter would be knocked off the top of the worst President ever list...
