He just found a more politically palatable way of expressing that truth which John Lennon expressed thusly:

they keep you doped with religion, sex, and tv
and you think you're so clever and classless and free
but we're still fucking peasants, as far as i can see

    And slow down when you read. I didn't state or imply that Obama would be quoting Lennon on the stump. Obama's version, however, the "cling" business: nothing wrong with that. It's true.

      is not good. It is very very bad. It implies infatile helplessness. Obama provided an opening, and HRC drove right through.
