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."

America is angry because we are tired of by being lied to by an aging bimbette.
LOL :)
Katie,
Ya think?
Dumber than a box of rocks, Katie is. The CBS execs must be so proud.
A little journalistic integrity might have revealed that sooner to you, Katie. A journalistic sycophant is a terrible way to go.
I distinctly recall from her interview with Beck that he answered a question that really made her pause. Who knows, most everyone has a moment in their life that changes everything. Could it be that he so surprised her that she began to reflect? Just asking because her comments seem to be that of someone who is questioning things much deeper than she is speaking.
Perky Katie doesn’t know the half of it. She will be shocked when this country finally explodes.
Its like one of the lesser demons of Hell making a flyover and saying, “Hmm, seems a bit hotter than usual”.
Tell us something we don’t know Katie.
Gee Katie...... .Ya think the mood of the country aint good....huh Katie???
Gee, ya think?
Katie is one of those women who think they’re much cuter, cleverer, and more relevant than they really are. She’s just an annoying airhead.
“it’s a place of incredible opportunity and entrepreneurship”
Isn’t Congress continuing to increase the penalties (referred to by Dumocrats as “taxes”) on entrepreneurs? What opportunities when the government takes over everything? What is this Marxist talkng about? The opportunity to get a government job administering regulations? What a great future we have!! What an idiot. No wonder people are angry!
Katie what average Americans are angry about is liberal elitists like you who want to run every aspect of our lives because you think we are too dumb to make the “right” choices. Note, average Americans are smart enough to switch channels when you deliver your drivel that passes for news.
No shit Dick Tracy.
Yes Katie, we’re angry at being tken over by YOU rubes.
Well she is right.
There is a rage in this country that will clean out Washington come next Nov.
You are absolutely right on target. People like Couric have a hard time dealing with people who don't play along and accept people like her, politicians, and other celebrities as greater than the rest of us. They have an even harder time dealing with people who think that individuals like her and her ilk are actually less insightful and knowing than the average person. Ultimately, it's about ego.
“Ultimately, it’s about ego. ...”
Its called “narcissistic rage”...we’re gonna be entertained for while by this in some VERY public figures...

I wonder if Katie knows we have a place to vent, it’s called the voting booth.
