I'd believe that if I watched Fox News.... but I don't. My opinion as stated above is formulated by what I believe and the people I talk to. I'm pissed off that the government doesn't listen to the people.

I'm pissed off that a president had the audacity and the ego to laugh about the economic crisis on television.

I'm pissed off that instead of working with some companies and finding ways to truly help them long term he throws money at them and then dictates to them how to run their companies. Then other companies he throws money at, allows them huge assed bonuses and then acts pissed only when those bonuses are leaked and the people demand something be done.

I'm pissed off that my wife and I, both work 40 hours a week with respectable jobs and instead of being able to live a decent life, I have to worry paycheck to paycheck if we are going to make it.

I'm pissed because we work 40 hours a week, and when I try to get financial aid to finish school, there isn't any there for me because we make too much, but don't make enough to handle that extra bill.

I'm pissed because the government is no longer answerable to the people. The government doesn't fear the people, the people fear government (unless your political party is in power). If you speak out, the side in power belittles you, tells you how you are brainwashed and ignorant and how they are so much more intelligent.... and yet they are nothing more than fucking sheep following the same pattern as the party in power before them.

I am pissed that the media and puppet masters keep the people at each other's throats and poo-poo away anything that goes against their agendas that might, just might awaken people and get balance between the people and government again.

I am pissed that people who were demanding W's job for warrantless wiretaps, are saying.....

He needs to end warrantless wiretapping. It's wrong for Bush to do it, it's wrong for Obama to do it IMO. I'm disappointed in him on this issue.
Quote:
Here's hoping that he'll reverse his position on this.
Where's the outrage? Where's the trampling our rights? Where's the call for impeachment?

I guess that's held only for W.

Bagram Air Force Base in Afghanistan, anyone hear of it? Tell me how it's all Bush and Obama doesn't have anything to do with it opening 40 more acres of prison in September..... where's your outrage?

I'm pissed because people have preconcieved notions from the liberal biased, Obama loving, can do no wrong press that these tea parties will only be attended by GOP sheep and it is more laughable than purposeful. YOU ARE FOLLOWERS, told what to believe and if something goes against that you ridicule it and dismiss it. So.... um what seperates you from those who followed Bush as vehemently? OOOO yeah that was Bush THIS IS OBAMA THE SAVIOR..... give me a fucking break they are one in the same and you are too blinded to see it.

I could go on, but for those I make sense to they have their own lists why they are pissed and may attend the Tea Parties or at least see with open mind what happens. Those drinking the yellow Obama piss and pretending it's lemon Kool Aid (and 4 years ago when I said that about W followers the lefties loved it this time they will consider it a personal attack) will poo-poo, decry and tell everyone who attended the REAL REASON they were at those tea parties.... why the press told them the REAL REASON and why question the press. They know far more than any peon.

Zeig Heil Obama. (ooo I better not say that.... that's wrong to attack Obama, the way I did Bush.)
