If you mean that SOME people get more into religion when things get rough economically, then sure, there's a little slice of truth in that. But that doesn't mean that they're bitter. The whole thing is an unmasking of a dude who's out of touch and come November will prove unelectable.
You answered your own question. And the bitterness aspect is from them losing their jobs in a rough economy, many of them overseas, and/or watching their CEO collect a giant paycheck in the process. If you don't think people are bitter about that, I would suggest you are the one who is out of touch.
