I have not given up. America has a resilience and ability to respond to tough times that I think is underestimated.

My fear exactly. I am mystified by the failure of O and the Ds to pick up on the popular progressive sentiment in 09. They could have done anything. Instead, they handed the reins back to the Rs and stood on the sidelines as the roof caved in.
