Analyst's note:  Extremely troubling.  In more ways than one, it has been an especially long, hot summer. More and more people  are talking on the streets about their souring mood toward the politicians and media who have forgotten "who took them to the dance."  Even Hollywood joins in on the "fun." This article provides many examples of this growing situation.  Please take the time to review the associated supporting articles found through the embedded URLs within this article for added perspective.  You need not simply take my word for these comments.

We are experiencing crumbling housing prices that started in 2007, panicking financial markets, and a improper involvement of our federal government with mortgage giants Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac -- just to name a few shenanigans --  and the gov'ts direct involvement in pushing the economy into the worst recession since the 1930s.  Our home ownership has fallen below 67%. and on top of this we have the ever growing unemployment and being evicted from our homes,  All the while "We the People" are being ignored on issue after issue.  We have illegal immigration issues are allowed to fester, enough that the States have to begin providing their own protection.  Of course this is all topped with an Islamist enemy allowed within our borders that promotes violence and sedition.

It is indeed more that a little troubling when we see our politicians ignoring us and then giving our hard-earned money going to bail-out foreign entities.  There is a rapidly growing risk that American is approaching a "boiling point."  It is not a good thing for the American voter to feel powerless.

"[....] There is indeed the “chasm” existing between the elites and the rest of us on the ground as Noonan describes. Ordinary Americans who know how things work in the real world because they actually keep the country running on the job sites every day have had enough. If citizens cannot use the democratic process to express their will without being thwarted and insulted by screwball federal judges at every turn, America will indeed boil over."
