One need only look to the daily news to see that the public is ready for a change. Not “change you can believe in,” or some other semi-catchy slogan. Americans want real change.

The Democrats have had control of the House and Senate since 2006, and now enjoy a super-majority in both chambers. However, they struggle to convince the American people that the change we need is bigger government, more spending, and more government control over our daily lives.

Obama currently sits at a 44% approval rating in the most recent Rasmussen poll, the lowest of any previous president at this point in his presidency since the poll has been conducted. What this tells us is that Americans are beginning to understand that government programs are not free, and in order to pass massive “progressive” legislation, it will require the government intruding upon once sacred ground like doctor-patient relationships.

Private property was the original source of freedom. It still is its main bulwark. -- Walter Lippmann
