The factor missing from a lot of the analysis is that BS phrases like "hope" and "change" are far more anger-inducing when you or someone you know a) can't get a job, b) face eviction from their home c) have to pay higher prices for all sorts of necessities and you realize this isn't going to get any better any time soon.

A lot of folks were angry at Bush but the economy, for the most part, was solid. Now, it's not and Obama is pushing ahead with Obamunism even as he further kills the economy. IOW, the anger is because they've seen the promises become lies and realize they've been had.

The real question is if the anger will last all the way til November. I worry that there may be anger fatigue by then.

Well said and add to that that Zer0 is adding trillions to the deficit. I personally don’t think it’s going away by November but I’m no expert.

I’m not raging angry anymore—mostly depressed by what’s happening to America. But I basically live for the chance to draw blood in November (figuratively, of course). I’ll crawl out of an ICU to vote if necessary. For the first time in my life I’m going to volunteer to help the Republicans get out the vote.

As long as there is economic fatigue, there won’t be anger fatigue. The gov’t may try to spin a recovery where there isn’t one, but employment is a hard thing to fake. Jon Stewart won’t even be able to make crushing unemployment cool and funny.

By November, the American people will be in even greater personal pain than they are now. Obama & Co. have done NOTHING to positively affect the economy of this country, and EVERYTHING to destroy it.

Obama is isn't tone-deaf to the will of The People. He simply Does Not Care what we say, and will press forward toward his Marxist utopia, regardless of any obstacles or opposition. This, of course, will wreak ever greater chaos and havoc on our economy, and the entire culture.

I personally expect to see a shift of historic proportions in the House this November, because of this.
