Poll finds Americans are not optimistic about the future

People are dissatisfied with the way things have been ran by Obama and the Democrats. This was reflected by the mid term elections. Even the liberal media can't cover up what people are going through in this economy. People are tired of the bad economy, foreign policy debacles and division among our own citizens

Oh, yeah, here is the news from 2012
Americans no longer more optimistic than pessimistic, poll finds - CBS News

Well, no surprise, there's not a lot to be optimistic about.

Are you seriously still being partisan?

We've had the two worst Presidents in American history back to back from supposedly "opposite" political parties yet nothing changed from one administration to the next. Obama just continued and intensified Bush policies; and he was the perfect person to do it since his appearance and labels are opposite that of Bush.

Our Presidents and Politicians are owned and controlled by corporate and global banking interests with allegience to no country. Stop voting for incumbents and maintsteam political parties. Stop being content bickering with your fellow citizens and identify the corruption if you want to save your country-green is the same color on both sides of the aisle and the only one that matters. The critters reside in Congress and they will continue to leech from the American Government and give out freebies to nationless corporations and banks until the people put an end to it.

Americans are angry and easily swayed into fighting authority just look at all the protestors willing to lay down in the streets. We are all tired of our elected officials lieing to us and the scandals are ridiculous and at this point expected.
Health care is expensive, good jobs are still hard to find, illegal amnesty, ISIS is lopping off heads, etc.. etc... etc.... At least gasoline prices are low now but I wonder how much of the high prices were lies. In the past it seemed every time an arab guy sneezed the prices went up but now terrorists are tearing up the middle east and prices are lower than ever? Americans are tired of being lied to and manipulated. People are tired of hanging on and just getting by.

I'm optimistic for myself and for most other people, but I'm not optimistic for many others.

[isn't this how it always is?]
