Senator Obama said,"I have full compassion for the Pennsylvanian people's situation,and I fully understand why they get bitter,and why they cling to guns or religion, or antipathy to people who aren't like them, or anti immigrant sentiment's,or anti trade sentiment, as a way to explain their frustrations.You go into these small towns in Pennsylvania and, like a lot of small towns in the Midwest, you will see that the jobs have been gone for 25 years, and nothing has been done to replaced them," Senator Barack Obama was quoted as saying, by the 'Huffington Post".

Obama said that the loss of jobs in states like Pennsylvania had continued in the 1990s, through the Clinton administration."They fell through the Clinton administration,and also they failed in the Bush administration,each successive administration has said that somehow these communities are gonna regenerate,and they have not," senator Barack Obama concluded.

About bitterness:

It is easy to recognize when someone is bitter.You can see the bitterness in the eyes, and in the lines of the face, even in the face of a young person.You can see the bitter lines around the mouth, you can see it in the smile, or hear it in the laughter.You can see the bitterness.You can hear it in the tone of a voice.

Whether someone have been laid-off, fired from a job,doesn't really matter.If someone have been forced to leave a position, without a new one in sight, the road to travel ahead is likely full of speed bumps, potholes and detours.The bitterness is central and pervades everything.
