The sleeping giant is starting to stir

It takes a lot to upset the general American public, but they are upset now. New polling from Rasmussen shows that the folks are very unhappy with the direction of our country. Obama has a very negative approval rating, which means that of those people that will vote and who hold a strong pro or con opinion, 57 percent more have a negative opinion of Obama than hold a positive opinion. Only 11 percent of the folks think that Congress is doing a good job while 64 percent think that Congress is doing a poor job. Only 27 percent of Americans believe that America will be the most powerful country in the world at the end of the 21st Century, while 39 percent are sure that we won't be and 35 percent are no longer sure that we will be. Of course having our president bow and scrape to every dictator on earth, apologize for everything America ever did and embarrass our friends like the Dalai Lama and Israel don't help.

What is the common theme? Liberal Democrats have been in charge of Congress for the last three years and now they are led by a radically liberal President Obama. What is the cure for our ills, America? Throw out the Democrats who have been attacking the very foundation of our American traditions such as individual freedom, fiscal responsibility, self responsibility, American exceptionalism, unsurpassed military strength and hard work. Keeping the same corrupt professional politicians in place will just mean more of the same decline we have been seeing for three years. Throw the bums out. That is change that you can believe in!
