I don't doubt that for a minute, but rational Americans (i.e., those outside the Tea Party and Fox/Talk Radio universe) see through this charade (I hope). The trouble is that H.L. Mencken's axiom comes into play: "Nobody ever went broke underestimating the intelligence of the American public."

The same goes for pandering for votes by the very same politicians who got us into the mess to begin with.
