Obama has accelerated that change, as promised, and my impression is that far fewer patriotic Americans consider the federal government legitimate than ever before. We're VERY close to just saying "no".

1. Fast & Furious — While not particularly mainstream/well-known got enough publicity yo prime the pump on rejecting the legitimacy of government for a large number of people; it showed that government agencies could: intimidate the citizens, arm the Drug Cartels [definitionally Terrorists], violate treaties, commit felonies, execute unauthorized acts of war, and commit Treason… all without any significant repercussion.
2. IRS Targeting — the use of this agency to impede others from expressing contrary political belief is repugnant to many [perhaps most] Americans, even regardless of the beliefs that were impeded.
3. NSA Espionage — This is the kicker. In the light of the former two items (and even just #2) shows that the government has no regard for the Fourth Amendment, or the Sixth Amendment, and possibly even the First & Fifth amendments (as they are using your communication [a form of association] to build a case against you, while scanning the content of communication causing you to de factio testify against yourself).

Yeah, I should hope we're close to saying No!.
I am; I'm trying to get the states involved in fighting the Federal Government. [link]
