New York Times:
Americans are more dissatisfied with the country's direction than at any time since the New York Times/CBS News poll began asking about the subject in the early 1990s, according to the latest poll.
In the poll, 81 percent of respondents said they believed that "things have pretty seriously gotten off on the wrong track," up from 69 percent a year ago and 35 percent in early 2003.

I know Obama has been on the campaign trail and can't get much done......

Well let frickin Sheehan replace frickin Pelosi.
But if she starts running for president the second she gets to congress she'll be more worthless than Pelosi.
There's a thing called gradual progression. This is wanted.
Bush enjoyed gradual failure.
Rockefeller says there won't be a recession for him:

Hillary (read the fine print, assholes, Clinton.
That sure has a nice ring to it.
Remember back in the 70's when those big trucks accidently ran out of fuel in Washington DC?
Sean Hannity is right....C
Has anyone seen Bush's proposal for switchgrass? What about those mangoes? Did we ever get those magoes?
No, you can't have-a the Mango!
Then give the jobs back! There is a high demand for mangoes or Bush wouldn't have negotiated the deal!
Why aren't Republicans getting us our coveted mangoes?
Que Ethel Mermann...
Rockefeller, Bush, Morgan, Cheney, Lockheed-Martin, Bechtel...
Interesting that US corporate media is hailing the "NATO" (it's really Rumsfeld's) missile defence agreement as a victory for Bush, when expansion was thoughly rejected. It's really more of a political manouver.
In fact the White House would start building the lame thing no matter what we say. This is not a roll-over scenario, it's more of a way to shut them up until there is new administraion in place.
I totally agree that what has been happening since 2001 has very little to do with the America I know - but for those groups secrecy is paramount. About everything from their blood money to UFOs.
RealIy it's that bad? Then by all means we should shout about it here and in our confused, angry and myopic wilderness elect McSame in 7 months. Carry on.
McSame will self-destruct by then. The guy is a time bomb. In the rare case that he can hold it together, he has about 20 very significant issue flops that he's going to have a very hard time explaining. As soon as the camera swings McBomb's way, things are going to get interesting. When Mr. McFudd has to debate, it's going to get just silly.
Really? While we're looking the other way, again. But secretly I hope you're right. (left actually)
wla
Keep a good thought.
I said the same thing about W.
He'd hug the root in every debate.
Then Tweety and Timmeh.
Yes, even Keith and Arianna would tell you to damn your lying eyes and ears.
If wishes were horses...
And so how does one explain the national polling of McCrazy in the presidential race?
There is no way to get even a semi-clear poll until the race is one Dem vs. one Rep. Once the focus is on that race, my bet is that the "middle" will shift widely.
Like the wide stance?
By the same reasoning which installed Jr. 2X. Dontcha just love it? You must admire the irony people.
Because non Democrats think you all are crazy right now. The nastiness that Clinton and Obama toss around makes even another Republican look good to some people.
Only because the McSame campaign hasn't had to do diddly yet.
The Jack Bower reflection.
Those polls are meaningless anyway.
We don't elect presidents according to who gets the most votes.
Look, George and Dick live in a bubble. Every time the President makes an appearance it is to a carefully vetted audience (with the exception of one notable ballgame). They live in a bubble and pick and choose whom to relate to. When Cheney travels his advance team has instructions to tune every television to FOX news. They don’t have to worry about interacting with or hearing from, the American public.
There will always be political parasites willing to kiss their feet and tell them what great public servants they are.
Why should they give a shit about their approval ratings?
What have they got to lose?
It is truly bizarre. I can't imagine the lack of outrage on the part of the media at the treatment of people like Helen Thomas. I have more respect for her than most of our last Presidents.
The Dumbya damage must be undone no matter who wins the votes.
What's even more bizarre is watching them all yucking it up at the Gridiron dinner,
with all the political pundits acting like it's all a big joke; and only the "insiders" get it.
Frankly it's enough to turn your stomach.
I think Rev, Wright got his wish.
God gave us George W. Bush.
Hey 'bot, grow up. This isn't a Hill vs. Barack article.
Wla
A couple comments down Hillary is called a whore.
America. If you want to change direction, Stop Voting Republican!
What about Lieberman and the handful of Dems voting against the repeal of parts of the Bankruptcy Reform Bill yesterday?
Thinks those names will make the morning papers?
Bernanke doesn't want the headaches of a failed Bear Sterns....
Bush is getting his wish...a Democracy like China.
Remember when the Republicans tried to trump Michael Schiavo's marriage license?
Yeah but that same 81% can't convince Senator Rockefeller or the NEWS MEDIA that we'd like to know how the fuck we got into Iraq to begin with!
Was there any intel stating that it was all Bullshit? Where's that "PHASE II" REPORT, Mr. Rockefeller???
Now we learn that Senator Rockefeller will lose money if the war ends!!!!
http://www
Like Clinton, Rockefeller is a whore who blames you for not reading the fine print.
When does the media intend to quit ignoring the fact that we want that "Phase II" Report?
How about it , Olbermann?

Spanky Obama is in the Senate too.
Why can't he shake some action?
Maybe he can use Clinton's excuse: "You can't expect a whole lot from me in the Senate because everyone knows it takes 60 Democrats to get anything done....an
What I find hard to believe is that there's 19 percent who DON'T believe we're on the wrong track. I need some of what they're smoking.
Sparkandy, they are huffing Clorox ®. Braindead, that's what they are.
No.. they're the ones with bucks...th
People like John McCain"s wife have never had it better.
19% might cover those that still think he's a Xtian and don't own TVs?" Hell, I don't even know anymore.
Bush and Cheney's plan since first taking office has always been to bleed their fellow American's dry.
This is why America's sons and daughters are dying in Iraq.
So that their families back home, and you will pay more at the gas pump.
This is why America is still in Iraq 5 years later. It was the same with Vietnam.
It's never, ever been about winning any war.
It's always been about sustaining it for as long as possible.
Do you really believe they have any more empathy or sympathy than their former partners at Enron did, when they purposely destroyed the lives of thousands?
GEORGE BUSH IS THE PERFECT MANCHURIAN CANDIDATE.
"The mind of a bigot is like the pupil of an eye: the more light you pour on it, the more it contracts.
Chief Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes, U.S. Supreme Court
Don't make any excuses for Bush.
Although Cheney is the real power in the White House, both of them knew exactly what they wanted, and how to go about getting it.
Rockefeller says we ain't leaving:
