Unfortunately who watches CBS news? Most of the same people that believe out country is doing well under Obama.

There is a very good reason for the "Anti-Incumbent Tide"; look at the crap they have given us. She is part of the problem. She pushed a terrible health care on the American people, that the majority does not want. She has advocated the expansion of the federal government, at the expense of businesses and taxpayers. We have suffered around 9.5% unemployment for over a year, and the President says that he expects a 9% unemployment rate into the year 2012. Who wants this?????? Actions have consequences, and the actions of these extremist progressives (and some may have been well meaning in their actions) have made matters worse. Enough is enough. We have to turn things around, and soon. We need to take practical action which will cause the economy to turn around, and create an environment where businesses can begin hiring again. We have come out of recessions before, but it was by doing the opposite of what those currently in power have been going. We must reduce the federal government to a manageable size, and we must reduce the tax and regulatory burden off businesses and individuals. Those in power have failed, and they must be replaced.

The "she", refers to Nancy Pelosi.
