Republicans deserve to be unpopular. They've earned it. The problem in all this is that Republicans have became the smoke and mirrors and scape goats and the "obstructionists" in this new era of "hope and change" and people went from being extremely critical of one president and his administration and everything that happened to being totally accepting of anything tossed their way. "just give him some time..." But massive decisions that will affect the economy for the next 10 years or more aren't even being scrutinized by the same people who couldn't wait to blame their split ends on Bush.
While everyone was bitching about AIG... something happened that didn't even make the news.

People don't even have the slightest interest anymore of asking a question. Our President proposed a 3 trillion dollar budget that the CBO says will be well over 4 trillion. We are spending trillions on bailouts/stimulus packages and he has shown no signs of backing down from social programs and that agenda all while telling people he's going to cut the deficit in 1/2 in 2 years.
I never imagined this level of insanity would come from all this. I never really thought people would get together and say "well... lets just print trillions and trillions of dollars to fix everything" as if there are no direct and obvious consequences to printing money like that... and at the same time, keep making promises about lowering taxes etc etc etc etc and everyone just saying "yep... sounds good"
Nancy Pelosi just gave a speech calling the arresting and deportation of ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS "un american" - wow.
