Whats the frequency of the letter y in:
You Just Dont Get It
The most popular put-down of the 2010 campaign so far..
Voters are angry this election year. A recent Washington Post poll showed that only 29 percent of Americans said they would support their House representative in November, even lower than before the historic 1994 election. Politicians who claim their opponents dont get it hope to stoke that anger into rage: The politician disappointing you does so not because hes incompetent, but because he doesnt care what you say. This is the animating sentiment behind the Tea Party movement. The government doesnt want to hear us, said one protester at an Obama health care rally in Iowa earlier this year in the final days of the health care debate. We have to make them listen.
Im sorry, were you saying something?
Both sides are focusing on highlighting just how bad the other party is in part because they cant satisfy voter anger by talking about.
If politicians cant recognize problems, how can they solve them? That question was at the center of the charge Obama made last week in Wisconsin when he criticized House Minority Leader John Boehner, R-Ohio, for seeming to compare the financial crisis to an insect. If the Republican leader is that out of touch with the struggles facing the American people, he should come here to Racine and ask people if they think the financial crisis was an ant. Those who arent out of touch dont hear you because they are compromised. When the Senate was debating a version of the financial reform bill, the president charged that the Senate Republican leader was ignoring the obvious benefits of the legislation because he was beholden to the Wall Street bankers he was courting for campaign donations.
Democrats charge willful incompetence. Republicans blame arrogance. For months, Republican leaders have peppered their public statements on a range of issues with the charge that the president and Democratic leaders are so ideological they are deaf to the outcry from the public. Americans want us to listen to them on health care, said Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., during the health care debate. Theyve been telling us so for an entire year. Incredibly, our friends on the other side still dont seem to get it. But Americans see whats going on. And thats why theyll reject this bill again.
