106. Infuriating


From, Remarks by President Obama on the Economy in Osawatomie, Kansas, 12/6/11:

“Finally, a strong middle class can only exist in an economy where everyone plays by the same rules, from Wall Street to Main Street. As infuriating as it was for all of us, we rescued our major banks from collapse, not only because a full-blown financial meltdown would have sent us into a second Depression, but because we need a strong, healthy financial sector in this country.”

Infuriate: make someone extremely angry and impatient; exasperate; enrage
