The people are always a step ahead of the government and this first year of Obama + the liberal House & Senate have been awful. The people were sold Obama as some kind of wiz kid saviour but he's inexperienced, he's egotistical, and he is seemingly uninterested in anything other than Healthcare and that isn't America's most pressing need at the moment. Now 10% unemployment would be a DREAM scenario for a place like France but in the US it's unacceptable. If you add the unemployment together with the foreclosure rates (Obama is now the sole leader in foreclosures in a year) and the money the Democrats put into TARP and used to bailout various companies you can see why Conservatives are coming back with a vengence...just for a frame of reference it took Republicans over a decade (1994-2006) to wear out their welcome as the majority party.
Actually, one of the very most suited economic crack available to me is Ron Paul. The guy's very clever and has seen a lot, he would be a fine pick for the Republican Party for the next elections. As for Obama, he was the best pick among the 3-4 last candidates (Romney, Huckaby, Clinton and McCain), the problem is peoples saw him as a savior when he was just the less shitty option available. He made a few good decisions when he started, some of which the american peoples should be proud of but at the moment, he's juggling with strange knifes and I have the impression he's sinking a bit. The problem is not that much the idea of the healthcare reform but the way he seems to want it to be done, I will have to read a bit more about it to have a more enlightened point of view but from now, I lean toward the good idea wrongfully applied.
