An 800 billion dollar stimulus package, a budget boost for schools, an agreement with Russia on nukes, reduced forces in Iraq, not to mention healthcare "reform" -- with a record of accomplishment like that, say Obama supporters, why are voters so mad?

2. Because the Republimedia tells them to be mad.
Because the Republimedia downplays anything the Dems succeed in and salivate at the train wreck that are the teabaggers...and their chief teagagger, Sarah.

3. Telling angry people they have no right to their anger does not work. If party leadership doesn't
admit it and deal with it, it will deal with them.

Further lying to people who have recognized the liars finally also doesn't work.


And telling me that I am mad because some media tells me to be, shows an ignorance which cannot be plumbed.

5. Because we busted a gut to elect Democrats
and those "democrats" act just like pugs working for Corpamerica instead of "We the People"; But corpmedia and the pugs and the DLC will place blame where it does not belong, thus making everyone, all the more, angry and frustrated.

6. Agree - highlights the decline of American invention, enterprise and the middle class...
fucking MBAs are selling intellectual property to Asia for pennies on the dollar.

12. yes
because none of those things address us now. We've been patiently waiting for justice. Bush administration, Wall Street, Banksters, BP and we've gotten zilch. We've been attacked and no one has been held accountable. We've been robbed and no one has been arrested.
We've lost our jobs our homes our economy.

We watch while the people who did it get a slap on the wrist. We watch as we get watered down legislation. We watch as corporate America tells us we're not worth jobs. We have to pay for occupations in 2 countries. Money we need here to help our people. We're told free trade and free markets are more important that we are. And if this isn't enough we have government representatives along with their fringe trying to finish us off. We didn't pay enough taxes this year. We going to overturn that crappy health care reform law. Oil spill? Ruining fisheries and more jobs? Destroying an ecosystem. We need to drill more.

Like OhioChick's sig line says. Some days, it's not even worth chewing through the restraints
