Here’s one way Barack Obama can recover from describing folks who are different from him as “bitter” — he could bring in Passover.During the Seder we eat maror — bitter herbs — symbolizing the bitterness of slavery in Egypt.
Obama could say that he wasn’t calling Pennsylvanians bitter, just their herbs. It being Passover season, and all. Yes, it would take a rhetorical contortion of biblical proportions, but certainly Obama is up to the task. Heck, Obama’s not about splitting hairs, he’s about splitting the Red Sea.
Of course, typically the Passover bitter herbs we eat are horseradish. Maybe Obama could eat crow.
