If B. Hussein Obama has done anything during his tenure as POTUS, it is, to quote Japanese Admiral Isoroku Yamamoto, "I fear all we have done is to awaken a sleeping giant and fill him with a terrible resolve." The sleeping giant in this case is the American Voter. Despite our current circumstances in the growing liberalism of this nation, 71% still self identify themselves as Christian, and almost 70% of Electoral College territories are considered conservative. Obama has ignited that voter base much like he ignited the youth voter base on 2008. People are more poor, less well off, and generally dissatisfied with virtually every decision this man has made. See Wisconsin recall vote results... The sleeping Giant is very angry.
In refraining my remarks against our sitting POTUS, I'll close by saying that the man is a political coward. On every major fight he's had for "his" projects in "transforming" America, he has let someone else lead the charge. Americans do not like cowards.
