I’m going out on a limb here. I’m guessing that more Americans are angrier with this administration than they were with Bush’s because:

A) Bush wasn’t a bona fide socialist/fascist/Marxist with socialist/fascist/Marxist associates who were put into more than 30 unvetted czar positions
B) During Bush’s terms, Congress or other prominent Republicans didn’t call the vast majority of Americans terrorists, liars, Nazis, Astro-turf, un-American, “unruly teenagers,” ignorant, deranged, bitter, or RACISTS
C) Americans are sick and tired of being treated to empty rhetoric, broken promises, government takeovers, and reckless spending
D) Americans don’t want government to micromanage their lives while taxing them to the grave

Does that pretty much cover it, America? And, for the record, I’d still be angry and not support government-run health care or the global warming tax bill even if Obama was not half black. If he were anyone else… John McCain, Mitt Romney, Fred Thompson, Newt Gingrich, Sarah Palin, Michele Bachmann, Darrell Issa, Jim DeMint, Joe Wilson… pulling this power-grabbing, anti-Constitutional, spread-the-wealth socialist nonsense, I’d still rebel. Hear that, Jimmy Carter, you old fool?

H/T to Are You Freaking Stupid?:

Americans more pissed under Obama than Bush.

Rasmussen always has interesting polls.

Republicans have a four-point advantage on the Generic Congressional Ballot.

Sixty-six percent (66%) are angry at the policies of the federal government and 60% say that neither Republican nor Democratic leaders understand what’s needed. Most say that people are more angry now than they were during the Bush Administration.

Wonder if this means that sales of over-the-counter antacids are up? Plop, plop, fizz, fizz…
