Not really, Amos. I'm probably one of the few on this forum that is not surprised by what is happening. I think I even predicted it happening sometime last year (after the health care bill was rammed through the Congress).

I realize most of my liberal friends are concerned and disappointed but I believe the Obama administration misread the political philosophy of the majority of American people. Obama ran for office as a uniter and proved to be a divider. He ran as a centrist and rules as a liberal. That simply won't fly in the U. S.
