Americans have been bitter for the last 8 years.
and certainly not without reason.

Let's see: Skyrocketing fuel, food, healthcare costs, millions losing their homes, record unemployment, our children maimed and dying in Iraq for no apparent reason. two consecutive elections stolen from us, our real wages are stagnant, a 9 trillion dollar national debt, the value of our dollars in the toilet, a Republican bankruptcy bill that Hillary voted FOR, Pelosi, Hillary, and many Dems in Congress doing almost nothing about these huge problems and in some cases exacerbated them, on and on.

It really makes one wonder, who the hell wouldn't be bitter after 8 long years at the hands of this criminal regime??

2. I don't feel bitter. I am angry about certain issues, big issues. And I am
frustrated that policymakers continue to act in corrupt ways, big ways. But mostly I am concerned, very concerned, about the future of this country and what is going to happen especially as concerns our young people.

3. It's easy to be an optimist, Hillary
when you have $109 million in the bank.

the rest of us, not so much.
