Just like health reform was never going to get passed. And to put things into perspective...Bush's approval rating was 46% in May of 2004 and we all know what happened there (a stolen election).

"...The bill that President Obama signed on Tuesday is the federal government’s biggest attack on economic inequality since inequality began rising more than three decades ago.
Over most of that period, government policy and market forces have been moving in the same direction, both increasing inequality. The pretax incomes of the wealthy have soared since the late 1970s, while their tax rates have fallen more than rates for the middle class and poor.
Nearly every major aspect of the health bill pushes in the other direction. This fact helps explain why Mr. Obama was willing to spend so much political capital on the issue, even though it did not appear to be his top priority as a presidential candidate"
So we should all have the same level of wealth for equality?
Obama does this across multiple issues, Cap & Trade is basically income redistribution under the cover of global warming, and mortgage bailouts are under the cover of assisting the common man.
It is why many of us consider Obama to have a tendency towards socialism.
As padcrasher stated, we can go ahead and fix this at the ballot box.
