Hey, you 24%. What the F is wrong with you?

Poll Finds Americans Pessimistic, Want Change

One year out from the 2008 election, Americans are deeply pessimistic and eager for a change in direction from the agenda and priorities of President Bush, according to a new Washington Post-ABC News poll.

Concern about the economy, the war in Iraq and growing dissatisfaction with the political environment in Washington all contribute to the lowest public assessment of the direction of the country in more than a decade. Just 24 percent think the nation is on the right track, and three-quarters said they want the next president to chart a course that is different than that pursued by Bush. </em>

So 1 in 4 people I pass on the street are so blind, naive or bloodhungry that they are full of the stupid? What the f is wrong with you people?
