Barack may think you are bitter, but Hillary and McCain think you are stupid. |

Barack may think you are bitter, but Hillary and McCain think you are stupid.
Barack and I were right about the war.
We were right about it's impact on our economy and lives.
We have all paid for it, some more than others.
It has very little to do with being bitter, rather the feeling you get when you have been proven right, but to no avail. We are supposed to be able to trust our politicians, at least to the tiniest degree, but they have repeatedly let us down. They vote for disaster after disaster, and then point the giant finger of blame away from themselves.
Obama is right about me being bitter, but he's also right about me having hope. It's not always Black v. White. I see the opportunity we have before us.
It's only because folks like Hillary and McCain are hoping that I'm stupid, that they think they have a shot at the White House.
I am not stupid. I've seen them claim failure as victory, turn heroism to humor. I've seen them turn peace into war, and patriotism into McCarthyism. I've seen the ripple effects of Interrogation turned to torture. I've seen them turn prosperity to foreclosure. Free-Trade to the most costly "trade" there is.
You all played your part, history doesn't erase the books.
I may be bitter, but I'm not stupid.

2. We should not be surprised, ... |

either that Hillary and McCain are on the same side in this, or that it is the OTHER side.

5. Ain't it the truth, dave? |

Ain't it the truth?
Now we need to get someone out front to speak that truth to the talking heads and call Hillary and McCain on their happy horseshit. Someone with some fire in the belly.

7. So simple. So true. And so hilarious. |
|
Note that Hillary is pandering to guns and god exactly as Obama warns politicians have been doing for years, instead of addressing their economic concerns. So very ironic.
