Shorter version of the latest manufactured “scandal” surrounding the Obama campaign:

1) Obama makes a speech stating that, after 30 years of being hung out to dry by Republican/Clintonian economic policies that shipped their manufacturing jobs out of the country, many working class Rust Belt voters are understandably angry and bitter

2) Hilary Clinton and John McCain, two enthusiastic architects/supporters of the policies that shipped said manufacturing jobs out of the country, accuse Obama of being “out of touch” with working class Rust Belt voters

3) Overwhelmed by cognitive dissonance, Aaron bangs head against wall repeatedly

(much, much longer tirade on this “scandal” posted nyah)

Namely, you don’t ignore it and hope it goes away. You FIGHT BACK.
