Obama's popularity is in the majority. Economists of all types are quick to point out that the moves to avert the complete and continued collapse of the credit markets were necessary. Without the moves, the economy is in more pieces, strewn about like wreckage from dozens of car bombs.
The movement to reform health care is fundamental. The cost of health care is off the charts and the quality of health care is diminishing. Insurance companies control health care not medical professionals. Who does not know this? These two factors alone adversely affect the country's economy. This bind is clear.
What is not expressed in this article is the growing outrage at the ludicrous right wing.
McClatchy: Summer of our discontent: Why is America so angry?
"There seems to be a reservoir of anger in the country of a particularly intense and shrill variety that it is not simply what's appeared at the town meetings..."

Right wing anger is OK and it's highlighted. The right was very effective at channeling the anger out here. The Obama admin. confused and off message because of it's Blue Dog allies, failed to frame the debate and IMO allowed the right to run away with this. REAL Health care reform is probably either dead on arrival in the Senate now or so weakened it's next to useless or worse another BIG CORP. Bail-Out. We'll see soon enough won't we? That a few rt. wing Corp. Dinos can deny the entire country a decent health care system is disgusting and it's immoral. As for the GOPERs whining about the unknown cost of reform, it's really odd that they never whined a bit about BV$H et al.pissing away trillions for 8 yrs. did they? Apparently deficits only matter when it's the "other" guys spending.
The ironies are unbelievable. I call it the right's aggressive pursuit of ignorance. I still think something can happen. Obama is a smart man, he can figure out how to win his battles.
