Pew Research says:

"Barack Obama is as powerful a motivating factor for Republican voters as he was in 2010: about half (51%) of those who say they will vote Republican this fall consider their vote as a vote against Obama, little changed from June 2010 (52%). And Obama has become a less positive factor for Democrats 36% of those who plan to vote for the Democrat in their district view their vote as being for Obama, down from 44% four years ago."
This is exactly what GOP wants. Create a climate of "nothing is working" which actually ends up helping them. This happened in 1994 and I hope our friends do not fall for the same trick. Koch brothers want to see us view this as a dysfunctional government led by Obama. In 1994, it was our friends who stayed home and you know what happened.

The Stealing of America by the Cops, the Courts, the Corporations and Congress
...Call it what you will--taxes, penalties, fees or fines--but the only word that truly describes the constant bilking of the American taxpayer by the government and its corporate partners is theft.
Do check out the link on unhappycamper's post.
Scroll sown to see how our taxes are moved from our pockets to the their pockets.
SICK!
