CBS's Katie Couric: 'I Feel Like Right Now in Many Ways, We’re a Very Angry Nation'
NewsBusters ^ | December 22, 2009 | Jeff Poor

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."

I wonder if this was a backhanded stab at the Tea Party movement or Glenn Beck or something. Certainly seems that way...

When I agree with former KGB Putin more often than my own countries President there’s a problem, and yes I’m angry about it.

Well Katie, it's you and your ilk that got us to this point. The spreading of your propoganda, lies, outright hatred for the right and so many others to mention here.

It would fill a book.

Yes, I’m sure it just flabbergasts the Democrats that someone might be angry about 1/6th of the U.S. economy being taken over by what is supposed to be a Constitutional Representative form of government, an unConstitutional move that’s opposed by most of the public.

Katie, you’re a clueless hag.

Maybe they are angry because everyone lies to them, including Katie.

What Katie didn’t say...
“but Obama could never in a million years have the slightest thing to do with it. It’s inconceivable that anyone could be angry because of him.”

Couric can blame her magic negro for all the ills of this nation.

He has spewed hatred, unemployment, fear, and disrespect for everyone who sees through his ignorant attempts at ‘intelligent diplomacy’.

He’s made America weaker with his arrogance and ignorance.

His associates all hate freedom and hate America.

Thanks msm, for bringing this monstrousity to the white house.

"And I read somewhere - I think it was the New Yorker - that 45,000 people died needlessly because they simply don't have access to health care and that just seems so unfair and so undemocratic."

The stereotypes just confirm themselves with these idiots...

Yikes! What a fraudulent pile of cat excrement this marxist pig is...

It's because of what she and the other marxist-butt-sucking scum do for a living that we are in this pre-planned, tyranny-driven polarized mess....

“And you know, I’m all for people having free speech and expressing their views and we’ve talk about this a lot and I hate to sound like a broken record, but I wish there was a way for all of us to discuss our differences without being - digging in our heels so much and being respectful of other people’s points of view. But it all seems to be expressed through kind of a prism of anger and disgust and disrespect, which I find really - really troubling and upsetting.”

Katie doesn’t like the way we talk about her pres_ent. Oh well, too bad, so sad. I’ve had to put up with left wing crap for eight years.
