Nations have tipping-points. Move France too far toward the first word in its revolutionary rallying cry – “Liberty, Equality, Fraternity” — at the expense of the other two and the nation will rise up. Tilt America too far from its lodestone of rugged individualism (always rugged), free markets and the liberty of the frontier, and this nation will rise in anger. It doesn’t matter that Obama saved U.S. capitalism from meltdown through a massive bailout. It doesn’t matter that Wall Street has fared just fine. Somewhere in the past two years — and I’d place that moment in the midst of the agonizing passage of health care reform — the conviction gelled in wide swathes of an underemployed, over-indebted, war-sapped, anxious, aggrieved nation that Obama’s United States was crossing the bridge from American self-reliance to the “big government” of the European nanny state. Hate to say it but I am not buying into America's rugged individualism concerns. Its all about jobs. Provide the jobs and people will be happy.
