It hasn’t been since late in the 2008 presidential election that the now infamous Bitter People, are once again speaking out about Barack Obama and his ignorant, insincere, mocking comments about the use of guns.
During the 2008 campaign, the Bitter People took exception to the presidential hopeful when he made derogatory remarks concerning gun owning people; he referred to gun owning, rural, spiritual people as “bitter people, clinging to the guns and religion.”
At that time I traveled deep into the forests, hidden someplace in the Appalachian Mountains, to find typical bitter people who cling to their guns and Bibles.
This time, the Bitter People came looking for me, when they heard that President Barack Obama claimed that he goes shooting all the time. They explained that such a comment was akin to them saying that “Ma” don’t wear her nightgown to bed in the deep of winter cold.
It was at that point that “Slim” (the Bitter person shown in photo holding jug of corn liquor) whispered in my ear, “I wonder if some of his best friends is white too?”
It’s too bad really because 5 years ago, a campaigning Obama probably was given a bit of a pass from those he referred to as bitter people. He should have left well enough alone. The Bitter People are angry enough for being spoken to in such a calumnious fashion, but it was “Pa” who said, “Now the President wants to infringe on their clinging right to own guns while at the same time talking down to the folks, treating them like they are stupid, lying saying he goes shooting all the time. We don’t take kindly to liars!”
Perhaps Mr. President has stirred him up a hole hive of angry bees.
