CBS's Katie Couric: 'I Feel Like Right Now in Many Ways, We’re a Very Angry Nation'
NewsBusters ^ | December 22, 2009 | Jeff Poor

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."

GOOD

Katie, Katie, Katie. Let me be the first to mail you an invitation for America's anger. Just bring yourself to the local town square and take your place in front of the line.

"But you know, I think that there are a lot of concerns about the legislation and how it was hammered out and some of the gifts, not gifts, but some of the quid pro quo, at least ostensibly appear that way, given to certain states to win over support from those senators - that just seems ultimately, I think implicitly unfair in terms of how the system works," Couric said.

"seems" unfair?

I don’t think the clueless leftist bitch can actually fathom why so many Americans are so pissed off.

"I think....I think....I think....I think...."

If you repeat a lie often enough, people will believe it. :)

angry...hell this country is in a rage! Something Ive noticed and not too sure how to express it but the rest of the country is catching up to FR while here the mood is somewhat calmer. Predictions are coming true.

She’s a stupid woman. She and her cohorts in the media certainly did their part to give us a democrat majority in congress and elect Obama to office.

She wanted socialism and she’s getting it. Now she’s surprised that socialism doesn’t mean universal happiness but universal misery for all but those at the very top?

What’s the answer, Katie? More government?

These people have attempted a fascist collectivist coup by installing an illegal alien marxist-muslim usurper in the White house. Government owned health care is slavery. Civil War II is going to be a Hell, but I’m beginning to look forward to taking out the garbage like this stanky old communist c*nt. How’s that for anger, bitch? There’s a lot more where that came from.

"Very frustrated, troubled and disappointed in many ways in terms of people feeling that the American dream just isn't within their reach."

What Katie is saying is:
"The Democrats are in charge of everything and members of the Democrat party base - - atheists, abortion enthusiasts, Hollywood drunks, condom-throwers, gold-chained union thugs, welfare grandmothers, Boy Scout-hating lesbians, hand-wringing college professors, "victims", and the rest of the parasites, losers, and goofballs - - are wondering why their President Ubama hasn't yet given them loads of free money from his stash."

I feel in many ways Katie Couric is an idiot.

“And I read somewhere - I think it was the New Yorker - that 45,000 people died needlessly because they simply don’t have access to health care and that just seems so unfair and so undemocratic.”

What a pantload. Walk into virtually any hospital in this nation and you will receive care. Citizen or not.

I could force myself to listen to the songs of Katy Perry BUT YOU CAN’T MAKE ME READ WHATEVER THIS LYING KATIE COURIC SAID OR WILL EVER SAY.

That’s it.

FAKE JOURNALISTS LIKE KOOKOURIC MUST ALSO BE REMOVED!!!!

Yes, I’m shouting and I’m angry.

To KOOKOURIC: BLAME YOUR BELOVED OBAMA AND YOURSELF FOR EVERYTHING ... ECONOMY, POVERTY IN AMERICA AND .... POLARIZED PEOPLE.

Do ya think Katie? I can’t speak for anyone else but I am proudly living in a constant boiling hot rage. What is remaining of my rights and more importantly my children’s future is resting with a bunch of elitist miscreants and their whores in congress and the media and I am not suppose to be angry? Give me a break! People wear your anger as badge of Constitutional courage and don’t let light thinking buffoons like Couric take the fight out of you. Angry? Damn right we are angry!

That quote affirms that the Northern Virginia high school she attended should be torn down and the earth sown with salt.
