Clinton/Bush/Obama continuum...

I'd like to verify why you people are so angry.

The msm narrative is that it's nothing but a bunch of wahoo's that simply don't like Obama because he's black or he's a lib or a Dem or not American or all four; ie, it's personal, nothing to do with policy.

My narrative is that Americans (us yahoo's) started getting mad in the 90s with the frat house atmosphere of beer, broads, lying about everything, including your books, plus the growing terror threat, got angrier during the 2000's when stocks collapsed, runaway spending, government expansion, home values crashed, gas went to $4 and the wars became quagmires culminating with TARP and bail outs and now, a limit has been reached with even more spending and other policies that are NOT addressing the core problems that got us here.

Is it a combination of all of these things?

So, three choices plus 'none of the above'. Why are you angry?

I believe it to a be a combination of the two. While I believe that there are some that genuinely concerned about the state of the country. I believe that there are yahoo's out there that just do not have a clue.

My only contention with this whole uproar is that none of these concerns were voiced in the manner they are now during the last administration and those that voiced it in the last administration seem to be quiet now. The concerns were brushed under the carpet and touted as liberal outrage. It just smells like more political partisanship. Better yet....just more of the same.

The concern would seem more believable if that concern didn't run along ideological lines. I look forward to the day that people will stand up equally, shout their concerns in a concerted logical effort. Only then do I believe that any real change will come about - anything in between is a partisan joke.
