Is how National Review Editor Rich Lowry characterizes President Obama in his latest syndicated column. Rich cites this polling data, which should open some eyes:
According to Gallup, 57 percent of Americans say
government is trying to do too many things best left to the private
sector. More Americans (45 percent) say there is too much business
regulation rather than too little (24 percent). It?s the worst showing
for regulation ever in a Gallup survey. ?However, a March 1981 Los Angeles Times
poll using this question wording recorded a 54 percent ?too much?
level,? Gallup explains. ?This was just after Ronald Reagan took
office, and may have reflected Reagan?s emphasis during the 1980
presidential campaign on the need to reduce government involvement in
American society.?
