Once again, the usual suspects (Clinton, GOP and their media surrogates) are manufacturing controversy over an alleged Obama flaw -- this time, a supposed gaffe by Obama at a fundraiser in San Fransisco.
Though Obama has apologized to anyone who was offended by his remarks, the truth is most clearly were not, and media outlets (including Fox News) who have actually asked people on the street have found broad agreement with Obama.
I understand the opportunistic piling on done by the GOP and Clinton -- they really have nothing else to go on. But I guess it never occurred to them that one of the reasons Obama's campaign themes of "hope" and "change" have resonated so successfully might just be that many people really are bitter and longing for real change.
But then, the fact that Clinton, McCain and others just don't get what matters to most voters is plainly evident by their political fortunes.
