OT - A survey question that is often asked

I'm always hearing that Americans are asked -

Do you think the country is headed in the right direction?

Every time I've heard the response to this question it's always been "No" by
at least a 60%% margin. It doesn't seem to matter who the President is, as
I've heard this during Clinton as well as the Bush Presidencies. But I never
actually any details as to *why* people respond this way.

So I ask you, do you think the country is headed in the right direction? If
not, why?

No. The politics of division is wearying.

I'm also tired of the US being bullies, not good guys. Nobody with a
conscious would accept what we've done to Iraq. There's 4 million
refugees there and a bunch of rubble.

It's revolving in the same direction as the rest of planet, so I'd have
to say yes, it's moving in the right direction.

Right direction? If I had to, I'd say it seems to be going Left.

What's the right direction? West? Are we headed there? Why is west
better? Is this a philosophical question? What day is it?

Then you listen to Obama's wife and pastor and you realize just how
"inclusive" he really is not.

Artificially inflated cost of living due to criminal conspiracy by
energy speculators, war without end, children without healthcare,
crumbling infrastructure...

Sounds like the right direction to me!

So Obama has transmogrified into Rev Wright and his wife? I thought
Republicans were the only aliens here on earth.
