Healthcare, protests & presidential politics

The latest polls show that Americans are angriest at Congress-- not the President. Could a re-awakening be at hand?

President of Serafin & Associates Inc. Thom Serafin thinks so. On FOX-Chicago today, Serafin said the recent, high-emotion town hall meetings are reminiscent of grassroots protests from the 60's.

Serafin said the lack of oversight of the bailouts coupled with Americans' frustration with losing their life savings, has conveyed strong message to the public: Government is not to be trusted.

Serafin also warned that while 'divide & conquer' tactics may be good for the campaign trail, it is far from good for the country.

"He (the President) speaks for everyone!" Serafin said. "He can't divide as President-- he has to pull people together."

Independent voters may be starting to notice, Serafin added.
