The "White Working Class"

By now we have heard all of the MSM claiming that Obama has trouble with the "white working class". The more I hear them saying this, I had to ask myself: Does Obama really have a problem with this group? The simple answer: NO. Saying that he has a problem with this group is a grave oversimplification. Instead, Obama's trouble is more geographic than demographic.

Perfect example of this would be the Oregon and Kentucky primaries. As expected, Obama won Oregon easily, Clinton winning Kentucky easily. What is worth noting is that Obama won every age demographic except those over 60. And how about those white working class voters that the MSM love to talk about? He won those also. Here's the link to the exit polls:

Where Obama does have a problem is in the Appalachia region. If you look at the CNN website...

The states (and counties) in the Appalachia region went heavily for Clinton. However, outside this region Obama has done relatively well among this group (Wisconsin is a perfect example).

So MSM, stop with all this BS. Obama does not have a problem with the white working class. He has a problem with people in the Appalachia region.
