Quote

Americans are nervous; Americans are restless; and what troubles me the most is that Americans are uncharacteristically pessimistic.

Americans have grown impatient with the relentless politicizing of every area of life.

Americans are very practical folks. Accustomed to hard choices in their own lives, they are willing to give us in intelligence a lot of slack as we make the hard choices our profession demands.

Americans often have trouble enjoying the present moment.

The American people are frustrated.

Americans are fed up with how things are going in the country right now. They see more job losses, rising debt and plummeting home sales. They feel let down by a government that passes one 2,000-page, trillion-dollar law after another instead of focusing on addressing the problems Americans worry about every day.

Is the patience of the American people that long suffering? Is there no outrage left in the country?

Americans are less selfish than some of our politicians believe and will respond with reason and resilience to passionate clarity.

Many Americans, we know, are horrified by the posture of their government but seem to be helpless.

There has been so much power concentrated. There is no leash on that power anymore and Americans face the situation that this power is getting momentum with each passing year with each presidency.
