It appears the Americans who make up the soft, gooey center of our nation’s political landscape (you know…the ones who represent that special 2 to 5 percent that have no opinion but form the election-swinging “margin of error” in national polls) are starting to formulate an inkling of an opinion on President Obama’s brand of “hope” and “change.”

A recent Rasmussen poll found that 54 percent of Americans think our big-spending president and his Democratic congress need to ratchet back their wealth spreading ways.

Gooey, soft-center Americans feel that spending $1.6 trillion for Obama’s socialized medical plan – that only covers two-thirds of the 47 million uninsured – is a bit excessive.

The president labels socialized medicine “health care reform,” and assures us, with his usual Orwellian doublespeak, that its trillion-plus cost represents “savings.” Even California’s Democratic Sen. Dian Feinstein understands the growing public opposition to Obama’s health plan makes it unlikely congress will pass it this year, if ever.

Many high-ranking Democrats are fighting uphill re-election battles at home because of Obama’s bailouts and big spending ways. “Margin of error” Americans are beginning to see that Obama’s health care plan is looking a lot like his Chrysler bailout plan – a boondoggle whose benefits will never outweigh its whopping costs. Where Obama is concerned, “margin of error” Americans are beginning to realize that voting for Obama might have been their greatest error.
