Bitter, and proud of it. Clinton says we’re ‘resilient,’ but we can’t take it any more. McCain says ‘let em eat Lemons,’ but what we really need is a leader who can turn lemons into lemonade: Barack Obama.

One of the most refreshing things about Barack Obama is his fearlessness when it comes to voicing a hard truth. It’s an ice cold glass of unsweetened lemonade: hard to swallow, but unmistakably pure. The truth is, if you aren’t bitter, you’re probably voting for someone who is going to give us more of what we’ve been getting all along. And all Clinton and McCain seem to be saying is “Let them eat Lemons.”

Both Clinton and McCain’s response to Barack’s comments about voters were incredibly elitist, which is funny since that seemed to be their charge. Hillary said we aren’t bitter, we’re resilient. In other words, we can take it, right? We can take our wages being frozen while the cost of living doubles. We can take lucrative jobs packing up and moving overseas. We can take the oil companies turning less than a 20% increase in operating expense into a 200% increase in profits. Hey, it’s all part of being American. We take a beating and still wake up with a smile on our faces. Since Clinton is so sure the voters are just hunky dory with the way things are going, what would be her imperative to bring rapid and meaningful change? Clinton is completely out of touch. Hilldog, the thousands of people losing their homes right now aren’t feeling very tough. They’re feeling pretty bitter.
