When will people start sticking to their preconceived notions? There is nothing I hate more than "fair weather fans." In the article "Poll: Public shifting blame for recession," the American people are shown to be following fair weather trends. The recession has been blamed on many things. For one, the housing crisis, and the auto industry has also bore the brunt of the blame. But people mainly blame the recession on either Republicans or Democrats. Republicans have been taking most of the heat for the past two years, but the statistics are showing that people are being swayed towards blaming the current crisis on Democrats.
Obama promised to fix the economy, and millions of people entrusted him with their votes. He has made considerable change with bills such as H.R. 3200 which will create a public option for healthcare. Obama and his "change" have made considerable headway, yet people still have doubts. After blaming Republicans for the economic downturn, some are claiming that Obama has done nothing to improve it, and now some are claiming that he has made the economy even worse! With midterm elections coming up, the American people have a decision to make. Will the Republicans get a second shot at redemption, or will the Democrats, who they are clearly unhappy with, continue to dominate congress? Will America make a stance, or continue to just blame whoever is in office for every problem that arises? Please let me know your stance on the subject at hand, and if you notice some of the same symptoms in our culture.
