The issue is not being bitter. I am bitter about a number of things not the least which is the fact that this nation elected a complete embecile to two terms to the white house.
People when they lose their jobs and their way of life can become bitter. Duh. This is obvious and not the issue with Obamas statement.
He told upscale people, that low scale people when bitter:
- Turn to religion
- Turn to guns
- Become bigots (antipathy toward people different than them)
If Obama believes this is true, and apparently alot of progressives do believe it's true, then Obama should tell them this to their face, not behind their backs. That would be different and not the same old, same old. Instead he obfuscates and focuses on "bitter" while continuing to grovel for their votes. Typical politician crap.
