Voters are souring on the economy and the governments remedies, according to February's IBD/TIPP Economic Optimism Index. It fell 4.1% to 46.8, matching Decembers level and the weakest since July. Persisting high unemployment and a wobbly stock market dampened Januarys optimism, said Raghavan Mayur, president of TIPP, IBDs polling partner. Readings below 50 signal pessimism. Confidence in federal economic politics dived 7% to 38.3, the lowest since President Obama took office.

Looking for change? I have a little left in my pocket and MaObama wants that, too!
Have they tried lifting the sofa cushions?
My Grandfather was in America in 1929 (from Scotland) just before the depression hit. Immediately lost his job (he was a European plasterer imported for a period of time to make repairs in Boston to some ancient plaster work I think in Independence Hall or some historic building, and knew how to formulate the old time plaster with horse hair and stuff). After some horrendous months sleeping on park benches, etc.,relatives managed to scrape together his fare to bring him back home. He said there was free apples, free bread and free soup lines, etc., but you had to be a citizen. If you were a foreigner and spoke with a heavy brogue, no soup for you! If the worse happens again in this country, I’d like to suggest NO SOUP FOR OBAMA!

Saul Alinsky on "Change"...
From Rules for Radicals, Alinsky outlines his strategy in organizing, writing:
"There's another reason for working inside the system. Dostoevsky said that taking a new step is what people fear most. Any revolutionary change must be preceded by a passive, affirmative, non-challenging attitude toward change among the mass of our people. They must feel so frustrated, so defeated, so lost, so futureless in the prevailing system that they are willing to let go of the past and change the future. This acceptance is the reformation essential to any revolution."
