What? Aren’t they bitter and clinging to their guns and religion? Hasn’t the economy passed them by? I guess Obama is learning that he doesn’t know what the heck he’s talking about:

Inside Bethlehem Brew Works, Obama sat for a snack with the restaurant’s founder, Michael Fegley, Fegley’s mother and two others. As he sipped a beer, he was asked what he’d learned about the Pennsylvania economy over the past several weeks.
”Pennsylvania has sort of turned the corner,” he said. ”It is not complete yet. We can still make some important investments that will take it all the way to a really robust economy. I think what we are starting to see is a lot of creative energy and a lot of job creation.”
