We have a major disconnect between DC and the rest of America going on here....
another story from DU

"I filled up my car today, and as I replaced the nozzle I sighed in disgust at my $32.00 tab.

Well, the guy (mid 30’s) beside me noticed and said, "you can thank Bush for that!". I smiled, rolled my eyes and said, "don’t I know!". Then the lady (60’s I’m guessing) behind me said, "and now he wants to cut our Social Security. It’s disgusting."

The place was packed, and several people starting chiming in, making little comments critical of Bush, laughing and shaking their heads in disgust.

I went in and paid, and on my way out the guy that was beside me was pulling out. I noticed he had a Bush sticker on the back of his truck. I glanced over at him and he saw that I saw, and said, "that’s coming off today! I tried to rip it off earlier but it’s stuck on there pretty good." So we had a brief discussion on how to remove stubborn stickers, and off he went.

May not seem like a big deal, but I was blown away by it. In a red state (KY), it’s definitely a positive sign."
