Yes Katie we are angry.  The wishes a large segment of this nation are being ignored, and the Constitution itself is being ignored, from Obama depriving bond holders of their rights (auto bailout) to the redistribution of the TARP funds.  Guess what Katie, we aren't going to take it any more. 

Captain Obvious would be proud...Dumba**!

Go back to 'Perky'. Objectivity ain't your strong suit.

"What a revoltin' development this is!"

Chester Riley

We are angry, frustrated and disappointed, not just with the economy but with this administrations corrupt efforts to "fundamentally transform America". What really makes us angry is people like you as co conspirators.

We're livid that you Katie are cheerleading the Democrats while they're using the Constitution as toilet paper you little imp!

Katie fails to mention that the "compromise" and "dialogue" were held behind closed doors by the party in power who's leader promised transparency and inclusion.

Couric, get this straight once and for all: you are a news reader. Nothing more.

What you feel, think or say about anything is utterly inconsequential, irrelevant and ignored in the marketplace of ideas. You are a shill. A poseur. No one gives any weight whatsoever to anything you say.

No citizen's right to life, liberty, pursuit of happiness, or property is safe as long as Obama is President of the United States.

    What goes around comes around.  When you don't learn from the past you repeat the past.

  How log before barrack earl carter goes on TV to repeat jimmies 'malaise' speech?

  This is part of the speech and a little long but so eerie, the echoes of 30 years ago...

James Earl Carter:   But after listening to the American people I have been reminded again that all the legislation in the world can't fix what's wrong with America. So, I want to speak to you first tonight about a subject even more serious than energy or inflation. I want to talk to you right now about a fundamental threat to American democracy.

I do not mean our political and civil liberties. They will endure. And I do not refer to the outward strength of America, a nation that is at peace tonight everywhere in the world, with unmatched economic power and military might.

The threat is nearly invisible in ordinary ways. It is a crisis of confidence. It is a crisis that strikes at the very heart and soul and spirit of our national will. We can see this crisis in the growing doubt about the meaning of our own lives and in the loss of a unity of purpose for our Nation.

The erosion of our confidence in the future is threatening to destroy the social and the political fabric of America.

The confidence that we have always had as a people is not simply some romantic dream or a proverb in a dusty book that we read just on the Fourth of July. It is the idea which founded our Nation and has guided our development as a people. Confidence in the future has supported everything else -- public institutions and private enterprise, our own families, and the very Constitution of the United States. Confidence has defined our course and has served as a link between generations. We've always believed in something called progress. We've always had a faith that the days of our children would be better than our own.

Our people are losing that faith, not only in government itself but in the ability as citizens to serve as the ultimate rulers and shapers of our democracy. As a people we know our past and we are proud of it. Our progress has been part of the living history of America, even the world. We always believed that we were part of a great movement of humanity itself called democracy, involved in the search for freedom, and that belief has always strengthened us in our purpose. But just as we are losing our confidence in the future, we are also beginning to close the door on our past.

In a nation that was proud of hard work, strong families, close-knit communities, and our faith in God, too many of us now tend to worship self-indulgence and consumption. Human identity is no longer defined by what one does, but by what one owns. But we've discovered that owning things and consuming things does not satisfy our longing for meaning. We've learned that piling up material goods cannot fill the emptiness of lives which have no confidence or purpose.

The symptoms of this crisis of the American spirit are all around us. For the first time in the history of our country a majority of our people believe that the next 5 years will be worse than the past 5 years. Two-thirds of our people do not even vote. The productivity of American workers is actually dropping, and the willingness of Americans to save for the future has fallen below that of all other people in the Western world.

As you know, there is a growing disrespect for government and for churches and for schools, the news media, and other institutions. This is not a message of happiness or reassurance, but it is the truth and it is a warning.

These changes did not happen overnight. They've come upon us gradually over the last generation, years that were filled with shocks and tragedy.

We were sure that ours was a nation of the ballot, not the bullet, until the murders of John Kennedy and Robert Kennedy and Martin Luther King, Jr. We were taught that our armies were always invincible and our causes were always just, only to suffer the agony of Vietnam. We respected the Presidency as a place of honor until the shock of Water gate.

We remember when the phrase "sound as a dollar" was an expression of absolute dependability, until 10 years of inflation began to shrink our dollar and our savings. We believed that our Nation's re sources were limitless until 1973, when we had to face a growing dependence on foreign oil.

These wounds are still very deep. They have never been healed.

Looking for a way out of this crisis, our people have turned to the Federal Government and found it isolated from the mainstream of our Nation's life. Washington, D.C., has become an island. The gap between our citizens and our Government has never been so wide. The people are looking for honest answers, not easy answers; clear leadership, not false claims and evasiveness and politics as usual.

What you see too often in Washington and elsewhere around the country is a system of government that seems incapable of action. You see a Congress twisted and pulled in every direction by hundreds of well financed and powerful special interests. You see every extreme position defended to the last vote, almost to the last breath by one unyielding group or another. You often see a balanced and a fair approach that demands sacrifice, a little sacrifice from everyone, abandoned like an orphan without support and without friends.

Often you see paralysis and stagnation and drift. You don't like, and neither do I. What can we do?

First of all, we must face the truth, and then we can change our course. We simply must have faith in each other, faith in our ability to govern ourselves, and faith in the future of this Nation. Restoring that faith and that confidence to America is now the most important task we face. It is a true challenge of this generation of Americans.

One of the visitors to Camp David last week put it this way: "We've got to stop crying and start sweating, stop talking and start walking, stop cursing and start praying. The strength we need will not come from the White House, but from every house in America."

   America did indeed find it's way out of the wilderness. 

             RONALD WILSON REAGAN

We are angry.  We are angry at having our liberty stolen by those elected to protect it.  We are angry at having the fruits of our labors stolen and wasted by those elected to be good stewards of it.  We are angry at having totalitarianism foisted upon us as the "guardians" of our Constitution are rapidly shredding it.  We are angry and those in government and the media have no idea just how angry.  But one day that anger will erupt and they will wonder what the hell happened.

Listen up, Katie.  Here's the deal.

Let's say, in one hand I hold a .357 magnum pointed at your head.

And let's say, in the other hand, I have this bag of personally manufactured human feces.

Now, Katie, since I've got the gun, I demand you buy this bag of feces for $3,000 today, and agree to buy another bag just like it, every year, for the rest of your life.

DOES THAT MAKE YOU THE LEAST BIT ANGRY, KATIE???

That's rich.  With her partisan 'news' reporting and her being an obvious media whore for the Demorat party, she has CONTRIBUTED to the 'anger' that she now bemoans.

It's just like hearing these liberal wonks on shows and in articles, crying and moaning and whining about 'the loss of civil discourse' in society.

And then they turn right around and start shrieking, 'George Bush was a (beep beep beep) mother (beep beep beep) son of a (beep beep beep) Hitler nazi (beep beep) drunken frat boy (beep beep) assassinate his (beep beep beep beep beep beep beep)!!!!!!  Why isn't everyone as nice and tolerant as WE are???'

You'll go mad trying to understand lunatics like these.

Well, give Katie credit. She got two things right:

1. We're angry.

2. She is naive.

Add to that she is also an insipid ideologue without a trace of intellectual honesty or integrity. 

Of course, as we all know, even a broken cuckoo is right twice a day.

From one of the most Anti-American, Anti-Christian, Anti-Patriot, Anti-Constitution, hateful, venom-spewing, wretched, self-centered person who is paid way beyond her ability for impersonating a journalist?!?

She, and every other POS in the State Run Media, are the most hypocritical people on the planet, besides the Leftists in the White House and Congress - which is a given. And the projection involved in this particular 'video chat' shows her complete ignorance of the reality that has been going on in the White House, America and it's Congress.

There is no comedy skit about stupid people in the world that would make this worthless bag of wrinkle cream funny. Pathetic is the best word to describe her.

Sarah Palin: The Most Dangerous Conservative In America

Maybe there'd be a bit less polarization, if she ended her broadcasts by coaxing her leftwing extremist audience to actually pick up a copy of the US Constitution, and read it.

Dear Katie... DUUUHHHH!!!

http://iamnotaracist.wordpress.com/  

The fact that Katie Couric is NOT hiding in her closet cowering in fear, shows how far out of touch she really is.

The "angry, frustrated, divided" crap from liberals is code for, "we aren't getting are way and just can't understand why."

Couric, we have figured out all of the "nuances" of you and the rest of socialist cabal and we aren't buying it. 

Here is hoping the New Year ushers in a continued downtune in viewership for all liberal media and ultimately cancelling your sorry a**.

I feel that the country is pretty polarized right now."

Nope, we all have pretty much had enough of you, and your lying comrades.

...  I can't help but be JOYFUL.  After all I'm headed for heaven!  Life is short PEOPLE!

She sits and watches what is taking place......and reports what she wants to report.

She has NO clue as to what it means, to be down in the trenches of working, and/or running a business.

She has no idea as to what it means, to have to deal with day to day attitude of employees, or clients.

How's the view from the cheap seats, Katie?

 An affluent, east coast, limousine liberal getting her info from- wait for it - the NEW YORKER!  What a shock!

Thank you, Katie.  Smug yet clueless elites like youself  have sent me over the the "Angry Mob."  I look forward to helping you report the many Democrats (your friends) and Republicans kicked out of Washington in 2010.  

MAYBE?

Wow that is an understatement!

Congratulations Katie, on your ability to state the obvious.  Duh:o(  Why shouldn't we be angry?  Our country is being hijacked by a bunch of thugs who have a vision for America that springs from a hatred of our heritage and Constitution and their arrogant desire to be imperial rulers rather than servants.  The media (that would be YOU, among others) refuse to report the truth but continue to cover for their royal majesties, ignoring or playing down the public outcry that includes huge tea parties, faxes to representatives, rallies in DC, and how about 10 million pink slips????  You don't care about your country Katie, or you would get out from behind your desk, come out of the glass bubble you live in and find out what's REALLY going on out here.

Up until about 15 years ago about 98% of news was controlled and biased toward the left.  Now because of FOX news Limbaugh and the like the American people can access another point of view.  What they are seeing is not really very good from either side.  It does make you angry to see how influence is peddled and how media tries to influence sentiment.  You've got to admit politics is really ugly and the public doesn't like what they see..

Merry Christmas!         Thanks to Couric & the other so-called news reporters, The government is getting away with treason. They know that if the people can't get the truth, they can't do anything about it. They are starting a civil war between the conservatives & the liberals. The liberals will lose that fight, the conservatives have guns. The only thing the liberals have is lies & more lies.                                                                                                                                                                                                                        

Many of us--even former Dems like me--are furious, betrayed, sometimes even wonder if we love this country anymore, the way the press has spun it. Trying to tell us to elect a "god" was just the start. Now the feet of clay are stomping us!

I think Katie is just bothered because her ratings are in the cellar, which, by all rights, SHOULD jeopardize the cushy job she holds.

Sure we're polarized Katie, from your perspective.  The vast majority of Americans DISAGREE with you and everything you stand for.  And now that you've decided to be so flagrant in displaying EXACTLY what you stand for, you're feeling the heat - mostly in your low ratings!

Besides,  it has been my experience that whenever the left isn't getting everything they want, they come out in the press and talk about how "polarized" the nation is, and how the Repubs just won't be "bipartisan" and give them everything they want.

"Political footballs" my butt.

A citizen's right to earn a living without being regulated and taxed to death, being responsible for their own health and well-being and registering dissatisfaction with their government are not "footballs."

Nobody really give a sh*t what you're angsting about.

Good lord, it's like, y'know, er, uh-- listening to like a teenage cheerleader.

What I gather from this... if only those highly partisan angry conservatives could agree with with non-partisan liberals like her then we could all have a Rodney King moment and get along, on their terms of course.

NBC, CBS, ABC, MSNBC, CNN, New York Times, Washington Post...
You Distort. We Deride. 

She's a blithering idiot!  And where was all this deep concern over the 'angry America' when people were bashing Bush on ever channel, in every magazine, and on every discussion board?  He was the 'monkey', the 'Hitler', and the 'hayseed' and I don't recall any one in the MSM getting their panties in a bunch over it.  She is the biggest dweeb on air right now....followed so closely by Chris Matthews he could be brought up on charges of sexual assault.  The MSM is just clearly going koo koo for kokopuffs.

Anyone know a good Teleprompter salesman?

God, that was awful.

CNN, the Clinton News Network---Bill decides; Hill reports

She IS the shining example of what is wrong with the drive by media. She called herself out.....naive and idealistic.

I can't wait until 2010. If she thinks things are unruly now, she is in for a big surprise.
