Most Americans are now looking for major revisions in the way the government is approaching the recession.
A Gallup poll out Tuesday showed that a majority of Americans want Congress to either reject or make "major changes" to the economic stimulus package on Capitol Hill.
The poll, conducted from Friday through Sunday, found that 75 percent of Americans want Congress to pass some version of the plan. But the survey reflected deepening doubts about the effectiveness of the programs and spending items currently being considered by federal lawmakers. Only 38 percent of those polled favored the existing stimulus proposal, down from a slight majority holding that view in the Jan. 28 Gallup survey.

President Obama's "I Won" strategy just got squashed. Nancy Pelosi's comments about the Republicans losing at everything so they have to go after process, just got thrown back in her face. It looks more like the public is telling Obama, "You Won but we ARE GOING TO HOLD YOU ACCOUNTABLE!" When you have 62% of the public telling you that they doubt your plan will work must give you pause. The arrogance of Obama and the Democrats in Congress has put them in a position that they didn't think that they would find themselves in, on Defense. When you start believing your own BS then you are in trouble. That is what has happened here. They kept saying that the Public has spoken and this is what they want, get on board or we will do it without you. Now the Public is speaking out and saying this is not what we want, jump off the train or we will throw you out. This had to be Obama's worst nightmare, that is why he wanted the Republicans on board to take some of the heat. Now they have enboldened the Republican stance.
