So a while back Obama said that there are "bitter" people who "cling to guns and religion". Hillary jumped at the chance to catch the golden child doing something wrong, and the debate on semantics began. Honestly, most of these people are bitter toward the government...

People are bitter... thats why Obama's campaign of change is doing so well. But there is a part of the populace that is not only bitter, but desperate to find protection and security.
