    Lies

    I have a friend who has family who exactly fit in to the demo in question here...they are laughing hysterically at being called bitter and find Obama's comment absurd on its face and his explanation of his comment even more funny...I and they know of NO ONE who is bitter in PA...they are an optimistic, proud people...they may not be happy about how things are going in the country, but that doesn't affect their outlook on life...Obama may be projecting what HE sees as a life HE would not prefer, and ASSUMES one would be bitter as a result, but in reality, he is dead wrong, and the voters are going to teach him a lesson he won't soon forget about what it means to be bitter...his supporters will be whining non-stop next Wed. morning, demonstrating why they are singlehandedly the reason why he can't be President: for they will be labeling Pennsylvanians as "stupid white trash" for voting for Hillary...you mark my words...so much for him and them being "uniters"--one of the biggest farces in the 2008 race.
