Misspoken

I think that the statements about small towns in the United States by Barack Obama have been farther than they needed. There is both truth and falseness to the remarks. Citizens are bitter that their jobs are outsourced, their health insurances are gone, their gas prices are skyrocketing, and their homes are in a mortage crisis. I would definitely be bitter towards the government and the people in charge for something like that. Hell, I am bitter [and my vote will prove it]. I want health insurance [universal], I want low gas prices [under $3.00], I want job security [not working full-time yet but I still want it], I want to be able to afford a home [don't wanna live with my parents forever], and I want the United States to pull out of Iraq [phased withdrawal].

These are the issues [btw], not flag-wearing patriotism, not spiritual leaders who speak their mind, and definitely not talk about elitism coming from people who make over 10 million a year [I would love to make over 10 mil a year, they make it seem so easy... but I fundamentally can't, I'm not a WASP]. Here is a comic about Obama and the media's reaction with President Bush in the background [who definitely misspoke a lot].
