Bill Clinton calls middle-class "resentful"
Taken from the Political Wire's Historical Quote of the Day:
"If [Republicans] could cut funding for Medicare, Medicaid, education,The wording is a little different but the sentiment is exactly the same. Bill calls the middle-class taxpayer "resentful" instead of "bitter" and says they are "receptive" to Guns-and-God as opposed to "cling to".
and the environment, middle-class Americans would see fewer benefits
from their tax dollars, feel more resentful paying taxes, and become
even more receptive to their appeals for tax cuts and their strategy of
waging campaigns on divisive social and cultural issues like abortion,
gay rights, and guns."
-- Bill Clinton, in his 2004 memoirs, My Life, making the same argument as Sen. Barack Obama.
So when is Hillary gonna come out and call Bill "out of touch" with the middle class voter?

I find it funny how we keep seeing examples of how Obama sounds like Bill Clinton used to sound and how Hillary sounds like Bush Jr and Sr.

Bitter is defined in one of its senses as "Marked by resentment or cynicism".
You can solve your formatting problems, when you cut and paste, by first pasting into Notepad or some other plain text editor. Then copy and past into the blog text editor box.
