Just what is the hate and anger against Washington all about.The GOP controls the place from SCOTUS

to House to Senate. Then they come out and say they hate Obama and Obama has ruined this country. WTF!!
They don't even understand that their anger and what is wrong in Washington is largely is really against their own Republicans.

What are they angry at Obama for? For being successful in reducing the deficit, for stopping the bleeding of jobs, for lowering unemployment to less than 5%, for getting millions health care, for low oil prices, for Wall Street regulations, for strides in clean energy???? What are they talking about? Or it could be that Iran agreement that has now helped the Iranian people rise up against their conservative religious zealots?

Or, are they just angry that Obama was not an abject failure and that their Republicans didn't do enough to make him one?

Hate nurtured in racism is a bitch!

then blame the failure on the govt and not those making it happen. Families are stretched beyond belief and blame gotta go somewhere.....much is irrational...some is not. corporate media control is behind most of it

In a nutshell. Everything else is just dressed up variants on the same theme
