Obama will continue to trip up and show his true colours.

At a private fundraiser last week the Illinois senator said economic problems had led voters in some small towns to become "bitter" and "cling to guns or religion" remarks that have sparked controversy and intense rebukes from Obama's opponents Sen. Hillary Clinton and Sen. John McCain.

Obama said he regrets the words he chose saying it may have been a mistake, "partly because the way that these remarks have been interpreted have offended some people and partly because they have served as one more distraction from the critical debate that we must have in this election season."

This happened back in the spring, during primary season.

He could have phrased what he wanted to say better than "clinging to guns and religion".  "Cling" has a negative connotation.  The way he worded it made it sound like he believes that rural people turn to guns and religion, like it is a bad thing to be concerned about religion and the Second Amendment.  

Although, this is only one of the many things that he's said that make it seem like he is somewhat snobby and disdainful of people lower than him...
