What is the big deal?
I don't understand the flap about "bitter". It has been a staple of American political and cultural discourse for decades that there are a lot of bitter, angry Americans out in the less prestigious and glamorous parts of the country. Remember "I'm mad as hell and I'm not going to take it any more" and the famous Angry White Man? It has been talked up and down, left, right and middle. So what is the big deal now? We're talking about class. Class is a fact. Mr. Obama is at least willing to talk about the problem. The Clintons are apparently too cheesy, too busy triangulating. But it's still a tempest in a teapot.
