A former small-business owner regrets voting for Obama. I think her experience is typical of Independent voters who, despite some misgivings, went with Obama's sales pitch of hope and change (and were turned off by McCain, or Palin, or both), and are now thoroughly disillusioned. This is a big reason why Independents are now voting Republican when they get the chance. If Obama fails to understand the message, which Sherman Frederick, among others, thinks is the case, and if the Democratic leaders in Congress do not reverse course, they will be swept away in November.

Mickey Kaus thinks the health care debacle is Obama's fault.
