If you read the current press or watch television news you may have heard that Americans have lost confidence in President Obama's ability to engineer an economic recovery. This is despite the fact that he is very popular. The real problem is that the media in their stupidity has given credence to the latest scam of the obstructionists from the right.
The over-riding issue is that the right wing, who believe that government has no role to play, has spent so much time talking about how Obama's plans couldn't work that the economically ignorant press has begun to believe them. If Obama’s plans fail it is because the right has been obstructing so much of anything he tries to do that the people have lost confidence not in him but in the whole political process. When Rush Limbaugh says he wants Obama to fail and Rick Santorum, a light of the "Right" agrees, we find we are all in trouble. The right has learned that expectations have an awful lot to do with how an economy operates. If they can destroy positive expectations then the failure of the recovery can move the right into power in 2012.
Rush and his ilk are traitors. They are more interested in their regaining power than they are in the health of the country. Their governors’ refusal of stimulus funds borders on criminal behavior and implications that they can refuse to follow laws they believe to be unconstitutional is a step toward cession and a new civil war. They would rather see a failure of the republic than allow their opponents any semblance of success.
