Obama touts blue collar values to Michigan voters
The Daily Caller - By Neil Munro - The Daily Caller | The Daily Caller – Tue, Feb 28, 2012

[Obama's] emphasis on blue collar values is aimed at narrowing the wide gap between Obama’s 50-plus percent support among professional-class graduates and his low-30s support among blue collar workers who dislike his social progressivism, secular and liberal goals, and his emphasis on federal direction. That cultural gap has repeatedly caused the defeat of many Democratic candidates, and is expected to hurt Obama in the November election.

“You want to talk about values? Hard work, that’s a value,” Obama declared. “Looking out for one another, that’s a value. The idea that we’re all in it together, that I am my brother’s keeper; I am my sister’s keeper, that is a value,” he said, ending his speech with a repeated religious reference.

“God bless you and the work you do, and God bless America,” said Obama, who lost support in 2008, when he was seen dismissing Americans who “cling to guns or religion or antipathy to people who aren’t like them or anti-immigrant.”

Obama’s emphasis on values even prompted him to tout the autos once dismissed by progressives as so-called “gas-guzzlers.”

That's what the Righties think
