Amazingly, this Hope & Change presidency is creating an atmosphere more hostile and angry in the U.S. than (gasp!) Bush! Stunning! The honeymoon is truly over, and Americans are starting to come to their senses. Problems in this country cannot be solved by some Utopian dream, and in spite of those problems the U.S. has continued to be a pretty darn good place to live.

People are starting to see the very fabric of our society under assault, and the poll 59% Say Americans Angrier Now Than Under Bush has the details, showing the anger that is growing.

You forgot this part:

Just before Bush left office in January, 57% of Americans said he was one of the five worst presidents in U.S. history.

Most voters (56%) continue to blame the nation’s current economic problems on the recession that started under Bush, but 37% blame the policies implemented by Obama.

Adding to the level of anger is the new finding that 75% of adults now say Americans are becoming ruder and less civilized.

That final sentence can no doubt be attributed to the actions of the teabaggers.
 
Obama has created anything.

More Americans are waking up to the fact the party is over.

They don't like it.

Actually , OBAMA is a curse on America ! Yes, G.W.Bush was a very poor and ineffective President , especially in his second term BUT G.W. acted bravely and correctly after 911, The friends of Obama were never able to attack us again . Thanks to G.W. and all our Military for that - No One ever claimed Bush was AGAINST America and our Constitution, today the Majority now know we made a HUGE MISTAKE in 2008. Obama is not our friend!

Over 3,000 of our best and brightest were killed and our Treasury depleted further after we invaded the WRONG country.

It's easy to say we were never attacked again when talking big behind our military.

Obama has created anything. What? I'll not do a Democrat thing and assume I can say what you mean, or what you meant to say.

More Americans are waking up, but it is to the fact that for 40+ years our public schools have been successfully redefining what this country is about, what it was originated on and what We The People truly means. More of us are waking up to the fact that government doesn't solve problems. As Reagan was fond of saying, government IS the problem. More people are waking up to the fact that the ability to choose, to fail, to succeed and to prosper is rapidly being taken away, placed in the hands of a government that is power-grabbing and self-serving. Waking up to the fact that there is no point in achievement if the only result is a cap on your salary and exorbitant taxation to steal your wealth and give to moochers.

And no, they DON'T like it. Don't like it at all. Want some earplugs for the huge roar that is coming down the pike? If there ends up being only a whimper, and capitalism and our free market society is truly doomed, please enjoy the fruits of your efforts to do so with all haste. It will be short lived, as that untapped well of profits and taxation evaporates before your beady little eyes.

Well let's start with this... IT'S A LIE! The originators of the hostility and anger are the Republicans, still stinging from being rejected by America in two consecutive national elections.

Want proof?

It was a wingnut that originated this post trying to add more hostitlity and anger.

The corporate interests Reagan sold America out to have proven no better than the government.

Under that "commie" Eisenhower, when the top salary had a 90% tax rate this country saw some of its greatest growth.

We are living in the end game of Reagan's policies. How does it feel? Reagan told us deficits don't matter. Even under his "small government" we couldn't pay the bills.

If Righties want to destroy the middle class, then MISSION ACCOMPLISHED. If Righties want to destroy workers' rights, then MISSION ACCOMPLISHED.

It is true that some labor unions have grown overwrought and decadent, but Righties ignore the history of this country that created them. The next Gilded Age is not going to be so pretty because we won't have a scenario that puts the US in the driver's seat with it comes to production. You will find out what it means to live in a 3rd world ****hole.

I sincerely hope the Right enjoys its plutocracy. The very people who you thought were standing beside you were actually pimping you all along. Maybe Righties should have figured out what government was for in the first place. We all see that it isn't just the Feds who can curtail your freedoms.

Chin up when it happens. This is what the Right asked for.

Especially because he was incapable of acting WISELY, BEFORE 9/11.​

"A senior Bush Administration official denies being handed a formal plan to take the offensive against al-Qaeda, and says Clarke's materials merely dealt with whether the new Administration should take "a more active approach" to the terrorist group. (Rice declined to comment, but through a spokeswoman said she recalled no briefing at which Berger was present.) Other senior officials from both the Clinton and Bush administrations, however, say that Clarke had a set of proposals to "roll back" al-Qaeda. In fact, the heading on Slide 14 of the Powerpoint presentation reads, "Response to al Qaeda: Roll back." Clarke's proposals called for the "breakup" of al-Qaeda cells and the arrest of their personnel. The financial support for its terrorist activities would be systematically attacked, its assets frozen, its funding from fake charities stopped. Nations where al-Qaeda was causing trouble—Uzbekistan, the Philippines, Yemen—would be given aid to fight the terrorists. Most important, Clarke wanted to see a dramatic increase in covert action in Afghanistan to "eliminate the sanctuary" where al-Qaeda had its terrorist training camps and bin Laden was being protected by the radical Islamic Taliban regime. The Taliban had come to power in 1996, bringing a sort of order to a nation that had been riven by bloody feuds between ethnic warlords since the Soviets had pulled out. Clarke supported a substantial increase in American support for the Northern Alliance, the last remaining resistance to the Taliban. That way, terrorists graduating from the training camps would have been forced to stay in Afghanistan, fighting (and dying) for the Taliban on the front lines. At the same time, the U.S. military would start planning for air strikes on the camps and for the introduction of special-operations forces into Afghanistan. The plan was estimated to cost "several hundreds of millions of dollars." In the words of a senior Bush Administration official, the proposals amounted to "everything we've done since 9/11."

The proposals Clarke developed in the winter of 2000-01 were not given another hearing by top decision makers until late April, and then spent another four months making their laborious way through the bureaucracy before they were readied for approval by President Bush. It is quite true that nobody predicted Sept. 11—that nobody guessed in advance how and when the attacks would come. But other things are true too. By last summer, many of those in the know—the spooks, the buttoned-down bureaucrats, the law-enforcement professionals in a dozen countries—were almost frantic with worry that a major terrorist attack against American interests was imminent. It wasn't averted because 2001 saw a systematic collapse in the ability of Washington's national-security apparatus to handle the terrorist threat.

The winter proposals became a victim of the transition process, turf wars and time spent on the pet policies of new top officials."

Bush BLEW IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

"Clarke also tells CBS News Correspondent Lesley Stahl that White House officials were tepid in their response when he urged them months before Sept. 11 to meet to discuss what he saw as a severe threat from al Qaeda.

"Frankly," he said, "I find it outrageous that the president is running for re-election on the grounds that he's done such great things about terrorism. He ignored it. He ignored terrorism for months, when maybe we could have done something to stop 9/11. Maybe. We'll never know."

Clarke went on to say, "I think he's done a terrible job on the war against terrorism."

May 19, 2004

"President Bush's former counterterrorism chief testified Wednesday that the administration did not consider terrorism an urgent priority before the September 11, 2001, attacks, despite his repeated warnings about Osama bin Laden's terror network.

"I believe the Bush administration in the first eight months considered terrorism an important issue, but not an urgent issue," Richard Clarke told a commission investigating the September 11 attacks."

Yeah....he was quite the TOTAL SCREW-UP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
