  Bitter about Bittergate, Cuckoo for Cocoa Puffs, Too

  My fucking god, is this ever getting annoying. Bittergate?? Obama says that people are bitter and are voting against their best interests and that's somehow fucking scandalous?!

  GW Bush has suspended habeas corpus, thrown money hand over fist to the richest Americans by way of tax cuts, ignored warnings of an impending terrorist attack (and hid when it was going on), failed to get the bad guys when the chance was had (Operation Anaconda), lied his way into an effectively endless war of opportunity against a country that didn't invade us, has saddled the country with mountains of debt, has kept our country tied to oil dependency, has politicized every branch of government, etc., etc. -- and the press meekly goes along with this. No scandal, no protest, just supine acquiescence.

  But Obama says something that's obvious -- that people are bitter, and this is a goddamned "Gate?" This is a fucking gaffe? Bull-fucking-shit, Salon. J'accuse! This is an incredible amount of nonsense that is just infuriating me. After all Bush and Cheney have done to the country -- we're talking lasting, structural damage to the security, prosperity, and future of this country -- THIS is what the media are obsessing about?! THIS is what people in the press hope will be a deciding factor in Obama's ability to serve?

  Obama on his worst day is leagues better than Bush and Cheney at their very best. Bittergate is making me fucking bitter.
