And more good news..  The heavily Democrat-oversampling Pew Research just spit this out --

Pew found that only 22 percent of people trust the government. They also found that a third of people find the government a major threat to their personal freedoms. 

Here is an NPR link to the pew research data.

I think part of it may be the demonization of Goldman Sachs that the government is doing. That has to be playing to his wealth envying base.


On a side note, I think the lawsuit against them is purely politically motivated to get support for the Wall Street reform bill.  It seems to be a pattern with this regime.

I've pretty much thought that it's that Obamacare isn't front-and-center any longer. Most people can't sustain fury every day. When they were having their faces rubbed in it--every day--naturally his numbers tanked.

But fury comes to be replaced by sullen anger, and that's all it'll take to drag down the communist-democrat party in November. I've read a great deal of analysis on the opposition to the Obamacare horror's roots, but one item I believe most pundits are missing is that the majority of the electorate who have been, and remain, solidy opposed to what's been imposed upon them are going to vote against the Dems out of sheer orneriness. Orneriness well earned by the Dems, natch. Never mind the hideous substance of the law, or any of its future effects; the electorate will stay angry because Pelosi/Obama/Reid and their mob syndicate posing as a political party did what they wanted to do in spite of the pretty-much-shouted will of the American people. That alone is enough.

I don't believe for a second we're going to gain seats in just the 20s in November, as is so often reported by "thoughtful" (read: timid) election projection web sites. I suspect we'll be seing Dems thrown out and conservative Republicans voted in in numbers surpassing 1994. That's my gut feeling. Dick Morris is much closer to reality on this that the "gain in the 20s" people.

As for Obama--it's one term, baby. No President recovers from a fall like this. He's lost 2/3 of the independents in some states and 3/4 in others, and they're not coming back, no matter what the economy does. They know he and his cabal disobeyed the most vehemently expressed wish of the American people, and that's all they need to know.

Good post, and I think you are probably right about the "sullen anger".

I think we will see voters beat feet to the polls this year, to oust much of Congress....and not just Dems out of office, I think there will be some Republicans replaced also.

People are just thoroughly disgusted with the whole lot of them. My other half talks with other small business owners on a daily basis. He said the other day, that he can't remember how long it's been, since he's spoken with just one who didn't complain about the government....both president and Congress.

The current government is doing it's best to put small business owners out of business.

Yes, the big corporations employ a whole bunch of people.....but just like pennies add up to dollars and so on.....the people working in small businesses add up to a whole bunch of people too.

Just hand over the chocolate...back away slowly...far away....and you won't get hurt....

Save the Earth... it's the only planet with chocolate.

Good points. Welcome. I agree with everything except the Dick Morris point. Has that guy been correct about anything politically? If he told me it was raining, I wouldn't trust it until I looked out the window and got it corroborated by NOAA.

Let nothing frighten you.

God never changes.

God alone suffices.

The demonization of Wallstreet plays well to his base. The lawsuit against Goldman Sachs just reinforces his stance.

Sounds like the news that Obamacare is going to cost a mountain of cash unlike the administration's promise that it wouldn't is getting heard.

Perhaps, but more likely Obama's stance on the AZ illegal alien law.......whether the lefties like it or not, illegals are hugely unpopular in most of the US, particularly in this era of 10% unemployment......they are much more strongly resented for the appearance that they are taking jobs that might feed American families.......

The AZ law polled at 70% approval by AZ residents, and I would estimate that it would poll at somewhere around 60% approval nationally........nobody wants them here except for liberals and their political masters......especially now with the looming possibility that the taxpayers will eventually be required to finance their health care.....

Further, the Dems in congress see this as an opportunity to move "Comprehensive Immigration Reform" to the top of their priority list, ahead of "Cap and Trade".........which will spark another round of voter opposition and indignity.....

The gains for the President result primarily from increased enthusiasm among Democratic voters. Prior to the passage of the health care law, the percentage of voters who Strongly Approved of the President’s performance was in the low to mid-20s. Since then, Strong Approval has generally been in the high-20s to low-30s.
