			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>A recent <a title="Rasmussen Reports - 75% Angry At Government" href="http://www.rasmussenreports.com/public_content/politics/general_politics/february_2010/75_are_angry_at_government_s_current_policies" target="_blank">poll by Rasmussen Reports</a> tells us that 75% of Americans are angry at their Government. The report explains:</p>
<blockquote><p>&#8220;Eighty-nine percent (89%) of Republicans are angry with the government’s current policies, which is perhaps not surprising with the White House and Congress both in Democratic hands. But 78% of voters not affiliated with either major party agree.</p>
<p>Sixty-one percent (61%) of Democrats share that anger, but Republicans are three times as likely as Democrats to be Very Angry.&#8221;</p></blockquote>
<p>Specifically, they are angry at current policies.  This puts to bed Obama&#8217;s claim that Americans are simply mad about &#8220;the process&#8221;, it also puts to bed the idea that the angry folks are just those &#8220;teabagging, homophobic racists&#8221;. The report goes on to say that Americans do not believe either party understands the current problems facing the country.</p>
<p>&#8220;The process&#8221; Obama refers to is not perfect&#8230;not by a long shot, but many voters are currently thanking God there *is* a process. Had big Government bills been any easier to pass at the end of last year, we&#8217;d have ObamaCare by now. The fact that systems exist to put the brakes on huge policies gave voters a chance to put Scott Brown in office.</p>
<p>The next time Obama tells us that &#8220;most Americans want health care reform&#8221;, don&#8217;t believe it. Remember, Scott Brown ran on the primary platform of being vote# 41 against the bill.</p>
