  I'm one of the 10%, and the reason i;m satisfied is because I feel that the failed policies of G.W. are being unwound and we are starting the slow climb back to a sound a future. Health care reform, while far from perfect, must be enacted. The fact is its chocking our prosperity by sucking dollars out of the real economy since a large percent of the health care cost is in administrative costs. Oil is another issue that is also sucking dollars out of our economy, although this time its shipping them to Iran and Venezuela, and its not just the oil we buy, if we were to get off of oil and make alternatives profitable we could then work on creating trade policies and diplomatic pushes to export the technology that we create so that other nations (Western Europe, China, India) can obtain energy indepencen. Under the current administraation, i feel these goals are slowly beeing moved forward through increased R&D investment and tax incentives geared toward energy independence. I also believe that we have a coherent policy now in foreign policy in which we will attempt to secure American interests while antagonizing our friends as little as possible.

  Apparently "being satisfied" is mostly about feeling increasingly prosperous. Are even 10% in that category?
