have crashed. From near 70 percent approval, they have fallen to well
below 50 percent. Over 70 percent of the public disapproves of the
Democratically controlled Congress. Hundreds of thousands of angry
voters flocked to hear Glenn Beck & Co. on the Washington Mall.

offering only unpopular but necessary solutions. Obama has tried his

levels, cap and trade, and additional trillions of national debt — the
castor oil that the obese and now constipated public for some reason
