Finally, the American people may be waking up to the fact that the President's new America is not the change that they can believe in. The selling out of this nation and the financial future of our children for many is perhaps the greatest concern.

Yes, he inherited a tough situation from President Bush; but that certainly does not mean he has to compound any previous mistakes exponentially for partisan political gain. The real concept of America is and should be, to be a part of something bigger than oneself.

President Obama needs to refrain from demonizing those he disagrees with and unify the diversity we have in this country. His constant campaigning to get his social and economic plans through so rapidly is now revealing his flaws. Certainly the latest polls are showing a dullness in the Obama mystique. The American people will bring us through, not one man - and that is real audacity of hope.
