So, if Obama says the people are bitter, it is bad, but when McCain says they are angry, it is okay?
Please explain to me, cause I plain just do not get it.

Obama screwed up badly. "Bitter," is much worse than "angry." Bitter paints the American people as a seething, beaten down population. Angry suggests that Americans are not happy, but are tough and ready to do something about it.
Then Obama went and pissed the majority of Americans off by saying that their ideological beliefs are based on their embittered temperament. The religious, the gun owners, the people who don't want illegal aliens in the country, and people who don't want to vote for Obama, were all offended. The last one because he said something about not liking people that are different than the embittered, and I suspect he meant himself, being possibly the first AM nominee.
