Bitter Water

One US Senator wrote a book, the title of which is memorable. Unfortunately I have not read the book. Perhaps, if I did, I would understand why the author of The Audacity of Hope would refer to people in my State as bitter voters. It seems such a contradiction that I was hoping that perhaps I only heard a sound bite out of context. Yet even in the backpedaling no explanation was forthcoming. I guess this US Senator only meant to offer hope to those persons who read his book and did not mean to offer hope to those who supported his candidacy.

The campaign will become bitterer before the water is sweet.
