ReaganSauce

First, let me say that is great to be back with Reagan Sauce! I have missed writing for this fantastic site, and I am very pleased to be associated with one of the best conservative web sites out there.  Now let’s get down to some political talk shall we?

Recently, CNN reported that a recent poll suggested that public opinion of who is to blame for the recession is starting to shift.  Now, the first thing to consider is that polls in general are controlled studies, just because a percentage of people feel a certain way about a particular topic does not mean the general public as a whole feels that way as well.  

That being said, the new numbers are showing only 38% of those polled still believe Republicans are to blame, down 15% from a similar study that was done back in May.  In contrast the poll shows that 27% of people questioned are blaming the Democrats, a 6 point raise from the study done in May.   The most significant numbers from these polls though show that out of the 1,014 adults who took part, 28% said that the President’s programs have made things worse, and 35% say that everything Obama has done has had no effect on the economy.

I know that the last number can be interpreted as 35% think he hasn’t done anything bad, but at the same time that 35% is saying he hasn’t done anything good either.  For a man who walked into the White House and promised change, blamed everything on the Bush administration and spewed enough rhetoric and philosophical quotes to fill the Grand Canyon, he sure isn’t living up to that ever so talked about “hype”.

It seems that people are starting to wake up from their dream land where they sat on clouds in the sun and watched as Barack Obama cured all their problems that they were so quick to blame on the President Bush.  They are realizing that this man has done nothing he has promised to do.  Spending is consistently increasing, something that goes hand in hand with our national debt.  The War in Iraq and Afghanistan has claimed more and more lives.  Unemployment continues to rise.  Barack Obama continues to just talk.

I know liberals and Democrats will look at numbers from a poll like the one conducted by CNN and point out that the American Public still believes that Obama is helping, that the numbers that add up to 100% are still in the Democratic favor.  However, the mere fact that not-so-slowly (it has only been 1 year) people are realizing that Barack Obama may not be the knight in shining armor, is promising for the Republican party.  We need to take back our great country, we need to make sure that in 2012 we take back the White House and reinstall the traditional American values into our society.

My travels will always continue, however I never forget where I come from, the greatest country on God’s green Earth.   For now I will continue to hold onto the hope that more and more Americans will continue to open their eyes. The wolf in sheep’s clothing that sits in the Oval Office is starting to draw criticism across the board, it’s time to wake up America and realize that this man is doing nothing to help us, in fact he is hurting us much more than anyone thought.
