Is anyone else fed up with this crap?
The Tea Party
Republicans control issues
Democrats who don't stand up for the president
Everyone blaming Obama for the 8+ years poor politics from a former president who can't even spell
Every measure meant to help people being "changed and reformed" till it screws up everything or becomes ineffective so the rich (bankers, people with oil fortunes, credit card companies) don't incur too much financial damage.
Question....if you put bandaids, bubble gum, and never serviced your vehicle for 8 years then all of a sudden -hand the keys to me- then I put it on rough territory and you get mad and blame me for the engine catching fire-Does that make sense? - what did you expect?

Let's get back to America. White/Black/Brown/Yellow/Green/Magenta/Lime.....whatever.
Sometimes I turn on CNN and get disgusted about adults acting like little kids throwing tempers, showing out, and fighting for control rather than resolution.

Sometimes it's hard to believe:
People would spend more on pet treats and entertainment while families were put out on the streets evicted from their homes.
What's wrong with us? Where are our priorities?
A society of consumers who didn't know what to do when Japan had that natural disaster because while honda's are made in america, the soul (parts) mostly come from Japan.

We, America, used to be a land of dreamers and inventors.

What do we do well in American anymore? What great inventions have taken place over the last 10 years? Why are other countries with less wealth living longer/happier than most Americans - what secret do they know that we don't? Why are very few places in the United States featured on places where people are most happy?

1. Step away from the bottle.
2. What has Obama done to even put a dent into the "problems caused" by George Bush?

The OP is feeling the frustration and disgust that many are feeling. Frustration in knowing that the country fared better when people were in agreement about the importance of the nation's education policies, improving infrastructure, supporting innovation and the patriotism of buying American made goods. When giving a helping hand to the nation's needier citizens was not looked upon with disdain. When greed did not rule anfd regulations were in place to make the nation cleaner, stronger and more competitive. When radical fringe group were seen for what they were and quickly smacked down and ostracized. When corporations did not come before the people and everybody was given the equal opportunity to succeed. The OP is correct.

Where was all the support from the OP when Bush was president? Why do you think the fool you elected deserves anymore respect than people like you showed Bush. We also know it wasn't Bush but a dem congress starting in 2006 that brought this nation to the brink. Most of us aren't as stupid as the obamatrons seem to be.

Good rant but in regard to American inventions and dreamers, those lie under the bootheels of the EPA, CEQ, trial lawyers and whacked out enviros who have allied with politicians like Obama.

The dreamers have long since left the room and gone somewhere where dreams don't become nightmares.

Teabaggers are the main problem with America today. No dressing it up. It's as simple as that.

The "teabaggers" are a recent phenomenon whereas a lot of the country's problems arguably date back a decade or two. Cute though
