How can that be? Could it be that we aren't too pleased with the Democrats and the Obama regime who forced a socialized healthcare plan which the American people overwhelmingly opposed down our throats? Could it be that we aren't particularly fond of the fact that you are grabbing more and more of our private economy and placing it under your control? Americans don't support such a power grab. Could it be that we don't like how you lied to us throughout the election process? Could it be that we aren't pleased with your apology tours? And guess what? With dangerous regimes lurking throughout the world, we don't support a disarmament of our nation's weapons. Finally, we aren't all Jew haters like you are and don't especially appreciate your kissing up to the Islamic world. And these examples are just a few; there are many more, but for the sake of time, I will limit our outrages.

Trust in Government Lower Than During Bush Years; Congressional Approval Rating at Record Low
"It took just one year of Chicago-style politics for Americans to be completely turned off by the Obama-Pelosi regime.
4 in 5 Americans don’t trust Washington.
Trust in government is lower than it was during the Bush years and the Congressional approval rating is at an all-time low.
The Pew Research Center reported:
'By almost every conceivable measure Americans are less positive and more critical of government these days. A new Pew Research Center survey finds a perfect storm of conditions associated with distrust of government – a dismal economy, an unhappy public, bitter partisan-based backlash, and epic discontent with Congress and elected officials.
Rather than an activist government to deal with the nation’s top problems, the public now wants government reformed and growing numbers want its power curtailed. With the exception of greater regulation of major financial institutions, there is less of an appetite for government solutions to the nation’s problems – including more government control over the economy – than there was when Barack Obama first took office.
…Opinions about elected officials are particularly poor. In a follow-up survey in early April, just 25% expressed a favorable opinion of Congress, which was virtually unchanged from March (26%), prior to passage of the health care reform bill. This is the lowest favorable rating for Congress in a quarter century of Pew Research Center surveys. Over the last year, favorable opinions of Congress have declined by half – from 50% to 25%.'"

Look at where the curve fell off the table: right after the post-9/11 fervor died down. Bush frove it straight into hell.
But frankly, who cares? We're probably all better off when we don't have blind faith in ANY political leader. Look what happened when you rightwingnuts trusted Bush, Cheney, and a GOP Congress: invasions, torture, warrantless searches here at home, massive (and unwarranted) tax cuts for the GOP elite, etc. etc.
Why else do you think America voted for hope and change in 2008? If the Republicans were doing their job, they never would have lost the Congress in 2006 and the White House in 2008.
You are absolutely right, Diogenes.
"If the Republicans were doing their job, they never would have lost the Congress in 2006 and the White House in 2008."
But instead, they were too busy spending money like drunken sailors or Democrats.
Americans wanted change, but there is no way on God's green earth that they wanted what is taking place now. Only the radicals like yourself and the entitlement crowd are pleased with what is going on.
