What Obama said was true.

He said people in dire straights are bitter, frustrated and angry.  That is

a description of a natural emotional reaction when someone plays by the 
rules and comes up empty through no fault of their own.  People in that 
state either seek something which brings them comfort (religion, family, 
even guns) or try to find out why it happened (illigal immigrants taking 
their jobs).

Someone should ask McCain if he felt bitter, frustrated and angry when he 
was a P.O.W. and what did he turn to for comfort.  The same question could

be asked of Clinton when she found out about Monica Lewinsky.
