Mad As Hell
A recent survey shows what we've suspected is true - Americans are mad as hell.

"According to an exclusive poll by Newsweek and The Daily Beast, reality is beginning to break down Americans' normally optimistic attitude. Three-quarters of our respondents think the country is on the wrong track. A majority say the anxiety wrought by this recession has caused relationship problems and sleep deficiency. Two-thirds even report being angry at God . . . "

I'll say this much for President Obama - he's not making it worse. He's always cool, calm and collected. The last thing we need in our stressed-out country is a chief executive making alarmist speeches. Instead he stays very focused, at times not letting on that the pressure is getting to him . . . if it is. Remember how he roasted Donald Trump at the Correspondents' Dinner? He joked so casually you'd think he was on vacation.
