Yes, it is about time! I have to ask: why do you think NOW and not before?
I am no political guru, but I have noticed something where I work.
Employees, including myself, figured that the worst was over, and we had survived being laid off.
However, none of us feel safe any longer. Unfortunately, we now think that things are still going to get worse.
The people here who voted for Obama are starting to understand that we can’t survive if he is in office for a second term.
The S&P downgrade of the U.S. credit rating and especially the collapse of the stock market in August are probably behind the latest decline in Obama's approval ratings.
Trillions of dollars of wealth and savings of ordinary folks disappeared in the last two weeks and they can see the loss starkly portrayed on a chart of the market indices. The gain in the stock market was one of the last remaining indicators that Obama supporters could cling to in order to convince themselves that things are getting better. That has been ripped away now.
