I can’t even express how disappointing it was that it was another country’s military and embassy who got us out and we were just lucky enough to be a part of that group, to have heard about it and gotten there in time, i mean if we hadn’t, who knows? It bothers me because they say, ‘Oh it’s too dangerous, we can’t get there,’ but all these other countries are getting there and getting their people out? So I don’t understand that. – Deana Welker	Found on CNN 1 year ago
Those of us who work in the maternity care space have known that this is a problem in our country for quite a long time. And each time the new statistics come out, we’re hopeful that some of the efforts that have been going on are going to shift the direction of this trend. It’s really disappointing to see that the trend is not going in the right direction but, at some level, is going in the worst direction and at a little bit of a faster rate, in the health care system, we need to accept ultimate responsibility for the women who die in our care. – Elizabeth Langen	Found on CNN 1 year ago
The vaping industry has tried in vain for more than a decade to work with FDA on sensible manufacturing standards, only to be ignored while the agency recklessly vilified nicotine vaping. It is disappointing, but not at all surprising, that the FDA would wait to propose these regulations until it had already committed itself to banning 99.99 percent of the vaping market, the millions of Americans who rely on vaping to stay off cigarettes could benefit from the FDA’s proposal, but only if the agency stops thumbing its nose at its critics and starts to regulate the category in good faith. – Gregory Conley	Found on CNN 1 year ago
And now, to have the very person who inspired me to seek justice nominate the attorney who tried to tamper and take away my right to anonymity in my search for justice is just astounding, and really disappointing. – Chessy Prout	Found on CNN 1 year ago
It’s unfortunate that this situation is still going on. It’s also disappointing, we will take a look and see if the companies are taking advantage of any exceptions to the law.

He comes to New Hampshire, and, frankly, he gives a very mundane speech. The response we have received is, he read his teleprompter, he stuck to the talking points, he went away, so he’s not really bringing that fire, that energy, I think, that a lot of folks saw it in ’16. I think, in many ways, it was a little disappointing to some folks. … So I think a lot of folks understand that he’s going to be a candidate, but he’s also going to have to earn it. And that’s New Hampshire. – New Hampshire	Found on CNN 1 year ago
Democrats are ending this session of Congress as they started it — by advancing partisan priorities and ignoring any issue inconvenient to their political narrative, they want to gaslight Americans into believing there is no crisis on the Southern border. They want to deny the reality of a looming debt crisis, mind-trick people into believing our supply chain issues are fixed, and preemptively thwart any attempt at legitimate Congressional oversight. Rather than find areas of bipartisan consensus, Democrats are instead prioritizing President Biden’s re-election prospects. This isn’t surprising, but it is disappointing. – Kevin Seifert	Found on FOX News 1 year ago
While testing positive just before the Thanksgiving holiday is disappointing, I know that I am protecting my loved ones by isolating and not joining them for holiday festivities. – Lujan Grisham	Found on FOX News 2 years ago

The immigrants were homeless, hungry and abandoned, and these activists didn’t care about them then. Florida’s program gave them a fresh start in a sanctuary state, and these individuals opted to take advantage of chartered flights to Massachusetts, it was disappointing that Martha’s Vineyard called in the Massachusetts National Guard to bus them away from the island within 48 hours. – Fox News	Found on FOX News 2 years ago

I was told it was much cleaner than it could have been, it's very disappointing, but injuries happen. Can't necessarily control it. Just unfortunate. I'm obviously going to miss some time and not be there for my team and that's what hurts more than anything, especially after the start that we just put out there. – Dak Prescott	Found on CNN 2 years ago
This is really disappointing -- a sad reminder for the crash victims families nearly three and a half years later, knowing that the Boeing Max will be flying again even in Ethiopia, where the crash happened. – Robert Clifford	Found on CNN 2 years ago
To have the judiciary create a legal circus is disappointing and what discredits the institutions we rely upon for a stable society, the rule of law must be followed, and I will not rest until it is.

The fact that this continues to happen in this city, one in which I grew up in, one in which I love, is utterly disappointing, disgusting, there’s no value for human life. That value has been eroded over the years. Living in Chicago should not come with a death sentence, but it does for so many people who live here. – Gianno Caldwell	Found on FOX News 2 years ago
It's disappointing because residents are just scared, and they come to us because they are scared, and we offer help that makes them feel more confident, that they won’t get stabbed or injured or potentially killed, the fact [lawmakers] are taking that away, for whatever purpose they have in their minds, I find that really sad and unnecessary and morally wrong. – Brad Pedell	Found on FOX News 2 years ago

It’s always a little disappointing when you start on the pole and can’t convert, but it was generally a good day, i think Josef had a little bit better pace than us. I think we were the second-best car. I got pretty aggressive on the restart there to try and do something and just kind of overstepped a little bit. That’s what allowed Marcus to get by. – Alexander Rossi	Found on FOX News 2 years ago

If this doesn't end well, we're not going to get that, which is incredibly disappointing. We struggled for years and years with the cold case. We got him. We had him. We thought we had him.
