A lot of air time is being dedicated to Obama’s “bitter” comments, but it looks like everyone (except Taegan Goddard over at Political Wire) forgot about this:

“If [Republicans] could cut funding for Medicare, Medicaid, education, 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.
