He's correct on the specific point here (especially the Clinton-Bush difference, which revitalized several areas of Pennsylvania).
The areas Obama was talking about, though, have been bitter for decades; they were Rogered in the Reagan days, and have been walking dead ever since—even during the Clinton years.
