Angry, frustrated, troubled, disappointed, disgust, disrespect - words not normally associated with holiday season. However, they were words Katie Couric used to describe where she sees the mood of country right now.
Couric, the anchor of the "CBS Evening News," in a live Facebook video chat on Dec. 22, took on illustrating her view of the populace - a not very sunny picture (emphasis added).
"I think more distant - I hate to say that, but I think, I think the economic situation in this country, I think, when people are struggling, that sometimes they need a place to vent their rage and to channel their rage and I think, I feel like right now in many ways, we're a very angry nation," Couric said. "Very frustrated, troubled and disappointed in many ways in terms of people feeling that the American dream just isn't within their reach. I mean I still think it's a place of incredible opportunity and entrepreneurship. But I just think that, I don't know - maybe it's because what I do for a living, I feel that the country is pretty polarized right now."

Angry? No. We’re awake. We’re powerful, and we’re mobilizing.
And that scares Katie so much that she thinks it’s anger...
Bears, tigers, and lions can be caricatured into being angry animals... but the reality is they are just the most powerful, intimidating creatures in their environment... and little weasels like Katie rightfully fear them.

I am not struggling and I am mad as hell. I vent on my Communist representatives in house and senate Pomroy, Conrad and Dorgan but since they no longer answer their phones and their voice mail and email are full, where do I vent. I know where and how I would like to vent but we are not there yet. Screw you, Katie Couric.
To: Rufus2007
Her whole approach here is like listening to a high school student.
A grown woman with an adolescent mentality and people are supposed to listen to her for information and commentary. Good grief.

What??? I thought Obama was the great unifier....????? Like Beck joked Friday, "
Who were those crazies the media ignored, Tea.... Tea Parties, that's it!"
God I love it! America waking up to what they voted in.

I think, I think the economic situation in this country, I think, when people are struggling, that sometimes they need a place to vent their rage and to channel their rage and I think, I feel like right now in many ways, that Katie Couric is an idiot.

Poor Katie-kins is struggling with linear thought. Is she inebriated?

....
the party out of power tends to be obstructionist and I think it must be very frustrating for people outside the beltway, including myself, to watch transpire because, you know, there doesn't seem to be much compromise. There was no compromise offered due to the tyranny of the majority.. Most of the country does not want Federal Healthcare. The Democrats are taking power the the populous never intended them to have. Thank God, for polarity.

Katie, there are a lot of people who are pissed off they can't get more of other people's money, And there are even more people who are pissed off at those who are trying to take their money, whether politician or Acorn member. The despoilers are going to wind up hanging out on the streets in some unusual ways.
