ON THIS THE PEOPLE ARE WRONG – AT 9:50 A.M. ET:  Rasmussen reports that a good chunk of the American people doesn't have much faith in the future of the country:

A plurality of voters nationwide believes America’s best days have come and gone, but that number has remained fairly consistent since the beginning of the year.

The latest Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey shows that just over one-third (37%) of Likely U.S. Voters believe America’s best days are in the future. Forty-seven percent (47%) say the nation’s best days are in the past, while 16% are undecided...

...Just before President Obama was inaugurated in January 2009, 48% said the country’s best days were still ahead, and 35% said they had come and gone.

Only 26% of voters now think the country is heading in the right direction.

COMMENT:  And, of course, we have a president who does nothing to change the grim perception about our future, probably because he shares it – he and the pseudo-intellectual crowd he hangs with.

What a contrast to Ronald Reagan, who always said, "It's morning in America."  And it is.  This country is endlessly resourceful, and its greatest resource is its people.  And the only way that resource can be damaged is if people start to believe the propaganda in our schools and in the media that this is an inferior country filled with sin.

We need a change in leadership.  We need a leader who sees the morning, not the night.
