Donna Shore's Bitter

Bitter? 
Mrs. clinton thinks the voters are "optimistic"!  John McCain thinks Americans would be happy to stay in Iraq for 100 years.
The pundits think we all live in Bushville and dine at Morton's

81% of Americans think Clinton/Bush governance has the country on the wrong track.

"Optimistic" Mrs. Clinton?

Tell that to Donna Shore and tell that audience on Tuesday night.


Consumer Confidence Sinks to 26 Year Low



    "I think we're almost in a depression," said Rohnert Park resident Donna Shore, 72. "Like the man in the movie said, 'I'm mad as hell and I'm not taking it anymore.' "

    Shore, who rents an apartment in a senior facility, lives on Social
    Security of $846 per month plus the $10 per hour she earns working 22
    hours a week at a storage facility. There's no slack in her budget. As
    prices of food and fuel have risen, she's had to cut back.


    "I'm worried about the cost of everything. Peanut oil used to be $2 or $3 for a small bottle. Now it's escalated to $5."
