Bitter, very bitter

So bitter in fact, I think I'm going to go shoot my gun and say some prayers. I mean, can you believe these trade agreements we've made? And what about all these illegal Mexican immigrants? Where's it gonna end?

I'd go get a job if there were any.

You forgot to mention your antipathy towards those who are different. That's an automatic reaction to economic difficulties, every time -- at least for typical white people.

But of course that's not the reason for the antipathy of the urban elite for those who are different from THEM -- such as, for instance, rural folks who go to church and go hunting and don't like being patronized.

Caleb, Caleb, Caleb. You study too much. You need to spend more time on the Internet.

"You go into some of these small towns in Pennsylvania, and like a lot of small towns in the Midwest, the jobs have been gone now for 25 years and nothing's replaced them," Obama said. "And they fell through the Clinton Administration, and the Bush Administration, and each successive administration has said that somehow these communities are gonna regenerate and they have not. And it's not surprising then they get bitter, they cling to guns or religion or antipathy to people who aren't like them or anti-immigrant sentiment or anti-trade sentiment as a way to explain their frustrations."

Ah ha. I'd heard a little bit about a controversy over Obama saying voters were "bitter," and I didn't really get what the big deal is. I get it now.

I can't wait til this whole Clinton-Obama mess is over and I can decide which one I'm not gonna vote for anyway.

Well hey, Obama's got a point, I mean, doesn't everybody have a right to a job????
