The simple reality is that the people will buy anything you sell them. To say that the people don't believe his big government rhetoric might not be 100% on point. If the economy was doing well, many people would be buying into his big government message right now. But since many people are still out of work and the economy is sagging they aren't believing in him.

To me his #1 mistake was taking his eye off the ball that is the economy. Right now if we had 3-4% unemployment and the economy was doing well, he could do just about anything he wanted and his approval ratings would be up. Instead, he and the democrats realized that right now they had a rare chance to finally push through all the dream programs they have lusted after over the last 30 years. They finally had the people in place to do it and so they pushed those through instead of focusing on doing things that would reduce spending and help get the economy rolling again.

There will be a lot of democrats who will pay for that in November. The big Obama question is: can he turn it around in the next two years?
