"The reason (George H. W. Bush's tactic) works so well now is that you have all these economically insecure white people who are scared to death,"
Bill Clinton quoted by the LA Times-September 1991
Seems Bill Clinton called them as he saw them, too. And he did all right.
There are a lot of 'bitter', insecure and scared white people who have for years ignorantly voted against their own economic interests.
Those simple-minded fools won't be voting for Barack Obama -- just like they didn't vote for Bill Clinton -- anyway.
No blood, no foul.
