#2 Blue collar folks despise a man that never held a real job, never worked with his hands, is an abject failure affirmative action know nothing screwing up our insurance and economy. My kids are stuck with working thirty hour work weeks and existing on my insurance thanks to this failure.

#3 exploiting the resentment and anxieties of working-class men to boost his campaign
Isn't that the point of the campaign, to hear the pain of the people? BO is grumbling because he/they never listened to real problems of the workers.

#4 Remind me again who killed the full time job in order to shove people onto the Obamacare plantation? And even with all that careful planning it really didn't work? Everything he touches turns to $hit.

#8 “That’s not to suggest that everybody who objects to my policies may not have perfectly good reasons for it,” the president added. He noted, as an example, that voters living in coal-dependent areas may blame him for the loss of their jobs.

I'm not sure if the NYT was going for subtlety, or was unintentionally ironic.

#10 Obama schlonked the middle class and then he blames Trump for it. Trumps not the one in power in the WH. There goes the race card once again.
