LETS PUT THIS BS TO BED

Can we please get rid of the new canard that has arisen -particularly in the wake of the PA primary (which has somehow ridiculously become the template for the state of the entire democratic campaign) that Barack Obama has a "problem" with "white, working class voters"?

If this is true then why did Obama win

Alaska
Colorado
Connecticut
Idaho
Iowa
Kansas
Maine
Minnesota
Nebraska
North Dakota
Utah
Vermont
Virginia
Wisconsin and
Wyoming?

(this list leaves out a few states mostly in the south that he has won but which have larger minority populations)

Just wondering. Is it just that Obama only has a problem with "white, working class voters" in the states where Clinton is favored to win? Or is it (heavens no!) simply more bullsh*t manufactured to keep the race more "interesting" for the media.
