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?

    Bitterness

    I'm bitter. I can no longer afford to buy lemons. I can't drive my car to go to the library because I can no longer afford to buy books or gas to run my car. I can't afford the tests my doctor orders because medicare only pays 60% of the costs. I'm bitter because my country is torturing people in my name. I'm bitter because I've lost my right to privacy, among other civil rights. I'm bitter because the dollar doesn't buy squat anymore. I'm bitter because the rest of the world thinks we're thugs and idiots. I'm damn bitter. How about you? Are you bitter too?
