Welcome to the American people's nightmare!

All is not lost (I hope)

With each passing day, I become more demoralized by the destruction of our economy, or liberty and our country. May respected polling organizations still indicate that a significant portion of the population sees Obama in a positive light. I try to keep a positive outlook, but some days, it just too much. I guess it  comes from a staff of advisors, few of which actually worked for a living, but every day, Obama is demonizing some business. Does he know that the America's Free Market System has distinguished our country from the rest of the world? I often come back to some Rasmussen Data prior to the "approval" of Obama care. I took the data and organized it by the difference between "Strongly Oppose" and "Strongly Favor." There were 32 "slices" of the data. Twenty six of the thirty two slices has a net "Strongly Oppose" score. Looking at those in the "Strongly Oppose" camp, I was encouraged that not all those people who would arguably benefit from government handouts were in favor of the Health care Handout. So, I try to remind myself that average middle class folks are not in line for Obama's deficit funded handouts. There is hope. Below are the "slices" of the Rasmussen data that keep the light at the end of the tunnel lit.
