24. I think there is a lot of underlying anger...

at Obama, at the Democratic Party, at the Republicans, at the media, and others. People are angry at what they see as arrogant incompetence and lies by the Republicans and they are angry at the lack of courage and conviction in a lot of Democrats and just the unwillingness to fight back. Not everyone, but a lot. I think Obama has created a lot of this anger by his inability to fight back as hard as some expect him to, especially considering the incompetence and arrogance and downright lies of the Republicans. However, the deepest anger is reserved for the Republicans who they perceive as the root of the problem. The Republicans continue to lie and the anger never subsides. If we can determine the origin of the anger, we can deal with it in a more rational manner, in my humble opinion.
