Two Answers

First she details a litany of current problems from food and gas prices to foreclosures and the war. The she asks, "Their political system has failed them. Are they bitter? Duh."

Answer. Problems and human institutions with all their inherent problems will always be with us. Bitterness only engenders more bitterness and loneliness. Life is always a struggle and the solution to problems is to work smart and do what you must do to improve your lot. No other nation in the history of man has offered such possibilities to all men and women to improve their lot in life. Only those who do not believe in either themselves or in seizing opportunities are bitter.
Second she asks, "I am not sure why Mr. (sic Senator) Obama should apologize for trying to explain the emotional and financial hardship of our fellow Americans.(sic?)".
Answer. When the US Senator speaks of us rural rustics as "clinging to" "guns" and "religion" I hear echoes of my youth as a rural Illinois resident when Chicago politicians were slowly seizing political control of the state. The good Senator is saying to rural Americans that if elected he will change things so that we will no longer need our guns and our religion. Look at the way Chicago politicians have destroyed Illinois gun rights and how they join DC in trying to eliminate all gun rights across the nation. Look at the good Senator's "religious" record of palling around for decades with radicals and then denying that it means or indicates anything. Gun rights and religious freedom are not merely matters to argue about: they are cherished liberties we should fight for to assure they are available for our descendants. More than a few of us are very concerned about the impact of this election on these freedoms that we take for granted at our own peril.

The answer therefore to "why Mr. Obama should apologize" is that no apology can forgive a lifetime and an agenda dedicated to eliminating freedoms that many of us hold as dear as life.
