I am starting to believe that there is some part of the Harvard core curriculum that includes a mandatory class in Marxist analysis and contempt for Middle American values.

Agreed that the “bitterness” word wasn’t a big deal. It was a faux paus.

It was the second half of the comment that was more disturbing to some people [1], and his explanation that made it worse [2].

I don’t think it’s just him.
I mean, I’ll admit quite a bit of confusion on this whole bitterness thing. I get it, I get what he means and I know exactly who he’s talking about. Why he said it? Eh. It was kinda dumb.
But look at McCain on the Sunni vs. Shiite comment. I think in the general election it will end up McCain’s “Quote Attacks” will be directed at making Obama look inexperienced and out of touch and Obama’s Quote Attacks will be focused on making McCain look old and out of touch.

If put can quote nearly everything a person says to anyone else in a day, they’re going to screw up eventually.

Could the attacks even themselves out, or will Obama suffer by not taking the negative route?
