We've noticed this Christmas - this area, anyway, just "feels" depressed.
   
We've noticed it as we drive around our neighborhood area, as we go out to shop for groceries or the few times we've gone out to eat. Less people are decorating their houses, if they do the decorations go up later and there are less of them. There are clearly less people out and about - in stores, restaurants. (I am not making this a value judgement thing - whether it is good or bad - this is just about what we are seeing and sensing). Same thing at work - far less festive, people just kind of plodding along.

I suspect that it is all taking a real toll on people's emotions, no matter what their political leanings are. The 8 years of Bush disaster, the mess he left behind, the constant drumbeat of bad news on the TV - the financial state of the country.

Anyone else feeling or noticing this?? Or is it just our own bad mood (recent layoff, frustration that change isn't happening as fast and definitively as we would like) that is coloring our observations?

Yep it's all Bush's fault back when unemployment was 1/2 of what it is under Lord O.
Obama has been in office long enough to start getting the blame for this mess everything he has done to save the economy has made it worse.

Hoax and change.

How sad it must be being a liberal. Always sad or angry at the world. My guess is that He/She/It is the sad person, not the rest of the people He/She/It sees.

Truth is stranger than fiction...

Politically Correct Christmas Carols Censor 'King', 'Son' and 'Virgin'
By Martin Beckford, Religious Affairs Correspondent
Published: 4:27PM GMT 12 Dec 2008

Enduring favourites such as Hark the Herald Angels Sing and God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen are being altered by clergy to make them more "modern and inclusive".

But churchgoers say there is no need to change the popular carols and complain that the result is a "festive car crash" if not everyone is singing from the same hymn sheet.

It comes just a day after a Church of England vicar banned his congregation from singing O Little Town of Bethlehem because he believed its words do not reflect the suffering endured by modern residents of Jesus's birthplace.

Another clergyman has rewritten the Twelve Days of Christmas to include Aids victims, drug addicts and hoodies.

Reminds me of all the whiny bitches on Southpark that got a Christmas play cancelled and replaced with a Phillip Glass composition. In the end, no one was happy. It's worth watching.

I just came through North Raleigh and it looks and feels just the same as the past 10 Decembers have.  

A ton of cars coming and going from the 3 malls that I passed.  Lots of local lights and houses decorated.

5. Yea, there is a gloomy feeling in the air
   
Its probably nationwide. Unfortunately Obama and the Democrats turning out to be kind of a "bust" so far probably has something to do with this general feeling of malaise in the country.

That could be why NortRaleighLibtard feels different.  He's come to realize that lord zero is nothing but an empty suit.

25 years ago we had Ronald Reagan, Johnny Cash and Bob Hope.  Now we have Obama, no hope and no cash.
