With the controversy surrounding Barack Obama’s comments about “bitter” Pennsylvanians [1] he made to a m/billionaire shindig [2] a couple of Sundays ago still getting major play in both the blogosphere and media [3], the LA Times Top of the Ticket blog [4] is conducting a poll to determine how many people out there are bitter versus those who aren’t. Here are the options:
Yes. I’ll show you bitter when I vote.
Yes, but it isn’t any politician’s fault.
No. Actually, I feel pretty good.
Make sure to pass the link along to family and friends who may want to vote, also.
The O-man continues to feel the heat today on the issue, from conservative writers like George Will [5] and John Fund [6]. Even the liberal Huffington Post is getting in on the act [7] of criticizing The Chosen One as it relates to another issue, and that is BO’s accusations against Hillary Clinton of supposedly using the “GOP playbook [8]” against him. HuffPo believes Obama himself is using the “playbook” thanks to none other than …. Karl Rove. The HP makes up for their Obama criticism with this defense [9] of his “bitter” remarks, missing the point [10] behind the backlash – as usual.
I have to wonder, what with the uproar over this, his “former pastor” Jeremiah Wright [11], and NAFTAGate [12] – all three issues of which are problems for Obama that have not gone away, that the mediots and pundits continue to write about [13] – are we finally starting to see a chink in Obama’s armor?
Hey, buddy [14], save some of that popcorn for me
