Obama is right. You bet I'm bitter. Robyn Blumner's column in case you missed it.

[Hamlette]

Barack Obama may have been a little too blunt in his now infamous quip about how the economic insecurities gripping small-town America manifest themselves, but the word ''bitter'' perfectly sums up my feelings these days.
You bet I'm bitter.
I've watched my country get hijacked by a group of self-serving incompetents who have little conscience about sending young men and women to die in an unnecessary war, while putting the bill on a credit card for the next generation.
You bet I'm bitter.
I've seen some of the greatest moral handiwork of modern civilization - the Geneva Conventions - get treated as if it were the naive ramblings of out-of-touch do-gooders. I've watched the founding principles of our nation - the inalienable right of due process of law and the checks and balances of three equal branches of government - treated as a copse to be mowed down on route to the unitary executive.
You bet I'm bitter.
I've stood by as the wealth of our nation has been concentrated in the hands of a tiny elite while the middle class struggles to tread water financially. I've seen our tax policies shift to benefit this small group, starving our national treasury of needed resources and making it far less possible to prepare for the future by investing in infrastructure, education and shoring up Social Security and Medicare.

That about sums up this eight year nightmare for me.
