Hey nlcatbox, when you've served your nation for 25 years come on back and tell us about it. Until then put a sock in it. It is telling that the libtard is sneering at the retired vet.

Obama is not leading by that percentage so perhaps a large percent of that total are not happy that we are turning into the United Socialist States of Pagan America fast than you can say Karl Marx!!! The next question on the survey should be why are you not happy with the direction. I think if asked you will find that the narrative promoted by MSM that some how the 91% unsatisfied are somehow craving a more centralized leftist government run immoral world is pretty much BS. Cheers John So 91% are not happy with the direction of the country.

I was forced to retire early in the previous layoff mania in the mid '90s. Never could find an EE job here. I still managed to pay off my 30 year loan on my house in Houston early, pay off my loan on my 16+ AC West of Houston, and build a small house there for us in the boonies. I finally refurbished the Houston house and sold it into the peak market a couple of years ago. My wife got laid off in March this year and is on unemployment insurance, only $300 a week or so. She is looking, I am retired and investing, and we are doing well. I have no stress, she has less stress now, and we are enjoying life. I didn't get caught up in the 109" TV mania and bigger house and fancy car crazyness. I actually saved money and invested it to get here. Yup we are the 9% that are happy with our lives. By design and planning, and execution. All of our expenses now are only food, gasoline, Propane, electricity, insurance, medical, taxes, and discretionary items. Not a lot in total each month. Obama, we are not bitter here, but we do cling to our religion, and our GUNS, lots of guns, HEH. I must be part of the 9% who are pretty happy these days.

I totally agree with this statement, and this is why I would have answered the question in the negative. I hardly recognize the popular culture in this country anymore. I definitely don't participate in it. I am still proud to be American and am happy with my life. I am, however, very afraid for my children and grandchildren as I watch morality deteriorate before my eyes.

It is time to throw these people out, go directly to jail do not pass go do not collecct $20 million. If 91% are unhappy why can't we get half these people together to vote in a new Congress? I don't get the math. And Pelosi you illiterate moron stay away from DC we don't need another of these stupid stimulus packages you know nothing about economics and have risen well above your level of incompetence.
