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?

    It is not the word "bitter" that is the problem.

    Obama keeps hammering that people are mad because he said they were bitter but that is not why people are angry. They are angry about what he said after the word bitter. He said that people cling to their guns and their religiion and their antipathy because people are different or they vote on immigration. People are bitter yes but it is the conclusion he draws from this that is the problem. It doesn't surprise me because he has been lying throughout his campaign. This man is a complete hypocrite and is not qualified to be president. Vote smart, vote Clinton.
