Hope, anger -- what's the difference?

Another day, another excuse from Obama:
Barack Obama made a new argument in trying to quell the fire that his remarks over "bitter" Pennsylvania voters have drawn: that hope and anger go hand and hand.

Obama, who has run most of his candidacy under the message of hope, interwove that message with the message that has dusted up the controversy: that people are frustrated and have anger and bitterness because they feel the government is not listening to them.

"Sometimes hope and anger go hand and hand," he said today at the Philadelphia City Committee's Jefferson-Jackson dinner. "People really are angry, they really are fed up, some of them are bitter because Washington's forgotten them. And because it's not me that's out of touch, it's folks who think that folks are happy when they are out of a job and they have lost their pension and they don't have health care and their schools are under-funded."
Obama's campaign is beginning to resemble the old Reese's Peanut Butter Cup ads.

Rural Pennsylvanian: "You got anger in my hope!"
Rev. Jeremiah Wright: "No, you got hope in my anger!"
Both: "Hey, that's delicious!"
Obama: "Hope and Anger — two great tastes that taste great together!"

While Obama tries to sell his new position of Angry Hope (or is it Hopeful Anger?), we've decided to help his new, more aggressive messaging effort:

    I am a Pennsylvanian - you probably
    heard BARAK HUSSAIN OBAMA mention us
    Pennsylvanians. I would have liked to
    meet His Holiness, The Pope but as a
    Pennsylvanian as OBAMA sees me, I know
    I'll never meet anyone great. He told
    you and he told the whole world that
    we, here in Pennsylvania, just cling to
    our guns and our religion - and then
    just hide in the dark of our little town.
    I never did want to vote for OBAMA
    because I am Pro-Life. Then again we
    have Mr. OBAAM telling us that we are
    so very wrong to want to punish little
    girls with babies. I guess I really
    didn't know much because I though little babies made people happy. Then,
    what would I know - I am a Pennsylvanian.

    Then too, Mr. OBAMA has an odd choice
    of friends.
    Mr. Rezko is in prison awaiting
    his trial for swindling etc.

    Mr. Ayers should be in prison but
    through a loophole he had to be
    let go. He is a dangerous man.

    Rev. Jeriamiah Wright sure doesn't
    love his country - THIS COULD BE
    BECAUSE HE IS FROM pENNSYLVANIA..!!

    Then we find that Mr. Obama has
    attended 'get togethers' at
    Mr. Auchi's home. He says he don't
    remember. Then, he does remember
    very little.

    This is depressing me so I better
    get my 'rosary' and go back to the
    dark cellar as Mr. OBAMA taught me.
