As Hillary basks in the afterglow of Barack Obama’s “bitter” comment which in all likelihood can be attributed to her recent surge in Pennsylvania, her husband has decided to knock her down a level.

Over seven stops in North Carolina, Clinton said “Everywhere I go there are all these people with signs, saying I’m not bitter - I’m not bitter.”

The strong sentiments were appreciated by the crowd, but were not entirely accurate. During Clinton’s seven stops in North Carolina on Saturday there were no “I’m not bitter” signs. There was a small assortment of people at his later events wearing stickers with the slogan, but many of those sporting the stickers weren’t even sure what they meant. Clinton also was a bit confused about his encounter in Pennsylvania. The conversation actually took place at an earlier event in Bloomsburg, PA - or so Clinton told the crowd in Bloomsburg.

What Clinton failed to mention about his stops in North Carolina where he saw these stickers, is that they were supplied by the Clinton campaign. So not only were there no signs as the former President said, but the only stickers worn were those supplied by Hillary’s campaign.
