Common Sense and Americans

I know I have been delinquent in my posting, which I hope to find time to change, so I bring everyone some good news. As the true socialist agendas of President Obama and Speaker Pelosi continue to emerge, it looks like Americans are beginning to wake up. Here are some statistics (from Gallup) to show a few very positive trends:

-More Americans than ever believe that the media reports of global warming is exaggerated (41%) versus those who believe it is underestimated (28%) and the rest who believe the media is accurate. In conjunction with this, a staggering 60% of Americans believe that global warming is not a threat to their lives.

-More Americans believe that the government is doing too much (47%) than too little (42%) with the rest being mixed. And more Americans think that the government has too much power (50%) than not enough (13%).

-Americans are not happy with and do not see improvements as the result of the enormous stimulus bill passed three weeks ago. The Gallup "Consumer Mood Index" has fallen 5 points this past week alone. Gallup points out that given the unprecedented effort to boost the economy, there should have been a significant boost in consumer psychology by now.

I think we are a long way from seeing Americans really start to wake up, but I believe that it starting to happen. I believe in the American people. We are smart, compassionate, and have a long history of exercising that one thing we need above anything else right now- common sense.
