Most of the country now doesn’t expect Obama to make any change for the better.
All of us on the right who examined his economics, ethics and politics a year ago knew for sure that this guy is too “smart” to do the right thing.
Why would we want to pull for him when he neither wants us, respects us or represents us?! That suggestion is preposterous.

Let ALL of those who put him into office pull with him and demonstrate to us their genius and that of their leader. So far he’s demonstrated his genius for spending tax dollars and doubling Bush’s unemployment figure.

I’m not participating in this train wreck about to happen.

Two words: The economy. There has been no improvement, in fact it has worsened with unemployment at the real figure of around 17%. A lot of people out of work and coming to the end of their unemployment are not very happy people (and then the millions of others worried about their jobs). No amount of media Obama hype is going to convince people who are hanging on to their jobs by a thread or without jobs that everything is rosy (or getting better). A lot of money has been spent by the government with no results and with the Obama emphasis on anything and everything most people don’t want – it is the Obama wish list not the needs of the American people that our Congress is obsessed with. No amount of finger pointing by this administration is going to make the economy better, people want results after a year in office (and zillions of their hard-earned-sweat-and-blood tax dollars). They are sick of the reckless spending that is spinning this country into the abyss.

This all said, you are right that “values and beliefs” are at the core of the problem. We need a moral bailout (and a heavy dose of it) in the worst way. Any monetary/legislative/governmental efforts are only a dirty band aid on a large festering sore that will eventual poison the whole body if continued to be ignored. Unfortunately I don’t see this administration going in the moral/ethical direction but sadly in a hit-the-ground-running direction of so much that is corrupt and immoral. God help us!
