Why should Americans be upset with the Democrats?

9.6 unemployment.. that's nothing, the real numbers are much worse

Explosion in earmarks...it's only money

Bribes to Congress members for legislation most Americans don't want...Hey, no problem, that's the way it's done

Government waste and abuse...Yah, so

Explosion of the national debt...we blame Bush, don't stop us, we can't help ourselves

Iran getting nukes...hey we're kissing their ass, trust us, it's working

Ethics investigations...sure, we're getting there, (wink,wink)

Government transparency...what, you took that seriously..

Lets be reasonable here.. Democrats are doing the best job they can...

I'm not sure. She said he was on his way to the Sunport and the highways would open again as soon as he was there...

I just get the feeling that Obama's not feeling so good right now:

Not in My Backyard - WSJ.com

Not in My Backyard
Obama is wearing out his welcome.

By JAMES TARANTO

The grass is always greener on the other side, and that's especially true when you live in a New York apartment and thus have no grass. But reading the news the past couple of days has given us a new appreciation of our chosen urban lifestyle, with doormen to screen guests and no backyard.

We refer, of course, to President Obama's latest travels. He's been surfing lawns and hectoring voters across America, presumably hoping to persuade citizens that he'll leave them alone if they vote for Democrats in November. Voters, having done just that in 2006 and '08, are understandably skeptical.

The Associated Press reports from Des Moines, Iowa, that he essentially accused one voter of lying:

A man who described himself as a small-business owner manufacturing promotional items such as T-shirts and lawn signs criticized Obama's plans for allowing tax cuts on income over $250,000 a year to expire.

"As the government gets more and more involved in business and more and more involved in taxes, what you're finding is you're strangling those job creation vehicles," he said.

The president disputed that, saying he's already signed eight pieces of legislation providing small business tax cuts.

Showing some frustration, Obama said: "Your taxes haven't gone up in this administration. Your taxes have gone down in this administration. There's a notion that, well, he's a Democrat so your taxes must have gone up. That's just not true."

In truth, everyone's taxes are about to go up. At about the same time as Obama spoke, the Hill reports that Nancy Pelosi's House voted 210-209 to adjourn until after the election, which means that Congress will not repeal the tax increases scheduled to take effect as we ring in 2011. The Washington Post reports the president got "an earful" from frustrated voters on other matters as well:

Standing in the back yard of a resident, Obama stood patiently as one woman described, at length, her fears that the U.S. health-care system will soon resemble that of Great Britain. Next, a man spent several minutes describing the way his small business works--and his unhappiness with the prospects of a tax hike.

When the man veered off into his thoughts on Chinese currency, Obama interrupted.

"Okay, we're going way afield now," Obama said, jumping in to address part of the man's earlier observations.

What's most telling about these encounters is the absence of fear on the part of the citizens challenging Obama. In October 2008, in his own Ohio neighborhood, "Joe the Plumber" confronted the future president and objected to his tax-hike plans. Obama revealingly replied that he was eager to "spread the wealth around," and the media pounced--on Joe. He's not really a plumber! Joe is his middle name! Who knows how history might have been changed if the media had been as aggressive in investigating Obama's background?...
