    I'm Bitter Too Obama

    And I live in a major metropolitan area. Anyone who isn't an ultra right wing war profiteer should be as bitter as they have ever been in their lives. Republicans are agents of Satan. Bush and his ancient lap dog "Insane McCain" are Beelzebub incarnate. You're damn right I'm bitter Obama, and so are most true Americans.
