Bitter as hell in Pennsylvania

Folks agree with Barack Obama in at least one Pennsylvania trailer park. But will angry voters help or hurt Democrats in swing states this fall?

    The truth

    I think Obama told the truth and when people get over being sore about it, they will rally to him because they will understand that someone knows what's going on and will do somthing about it.

    I was nauseated by Bush's comments this morning when he greeted the Pope on the White House grounds. He alluded to a prosperity most of us are not experiencing in a country that has betrayed its promise and its citizens in the process. Fortunately, the Pope is intelligent and probably knows a heck of a lot better -- that a lot of his constituents, patriotic and Catholic, are suffering under this misadministration. I expect that he will deal with it in his own way.

    Most people I know (not living in small town America but in the suburbs and exurbs of New York) are hurting and they are bitter.
