President Barack Obama may be swimming against the tide of public sentiment in ordering more troops to Afghanistan. A new poll by the Pew Research Center for the People and the Press and the Council on Foreign Relations – results of which are set to be released Thursday — found that isolationist sentiment in the U.S. is at the highest level since the polling outfit and its predecessors began to measure such sentiment in 1964. Andrew Kohut, president of the Pew Center, said the number of Americans who said the U.S. should go its own way and not worry about other countries was higher than during either the Vietnam or Iraq wars. He declined to divulge specific figures, but said a record number of people also said the U.S. should mind its own business and let other countries get on the best they can. “We have these long-term measures showing the public looking more inward than they have for a very, very long period of time,” said Kohut. He cited two protracted wars and deep economic woes as factors behind the sentiment. The Pew Center and the Gallup polling group have posed similar questions aimed at gauging isolationist sentiment every four years, in the first year of each presidential term, since Lyndon Johnson took the White House.

No shiite!
No shiite! That was the opinion of the majority in the 1930s, until the Jews and Roosevelt sold out America.
Well, a Pearl Harbor type event, will always get the sheep bleating for retribution and WAR! It's really saddening, Cyni, it really and truly is.
That Jew SOB Roosevelt use to go on the radio and guarantee American Mothers, "I will NEVER send American boys to fight in a foreign war". I can still hear it in my ears Lod. My Father would yell at the radio, "You lying SOB".
Damn, Cyni ... to think we were listening to the same radio program at the same time that many years ago.
Now we have that baby sitter called TV, 24/7 to tell us what is REALLY going on in the world. The truth.
You know better than that ... we receive the same lying hyperbole from the pols now that we used to get from joo Roosevelt and his cronies.
I'm genuinely shocked. Not that people feel that way, merely that any establishment source would release this info on the rise of antiwar sentiment just as the peace-prize Warmonger-In-Chief announced his personal plans to escalate his war crimes against the largely helpless peoples of Afghanistan and Pakistan.
now what the heck are we going to do about it?
Nothing. Absolutely nothing. Perfect rerun of 1939/40.
IMO inward focus was a big factor in the American Revolution. We as a people are once again looking in the mirror and are not happy with what we see good!
Show Me Obama's Birth Certificate!
And to prove it they are going to run right out and vote for the incumbent Republicrats and Democans to ensure that this DOES NOT happen. Who gives a shit what the American people want when they are going to vote for the incumbent regardless of what they do? Surely not the two party fraud.

My Father would yell at the radio, "You lying SOB". My father used to tell me about hearing him say that too. Now I remember Obama on TV not much more than 1 month ago, telling the troops: "I will never rush the solemn decision of sending you into harm's way," ... "I won't risk your lives unless it is absolutely necessary." and I knew then it was a done deal.

My father used to tell me about hearing him say that too. Roosevelt hustled the American people in 1940 and I see not much difference with Obama. The death toll mounts weekly, and the people worry about the price of gold.
Cyni - They are inter-related. The more that we piss away on our welfare/warfare state with fiat currency, the more that the price of metals will rise in value. They cannot be separated, as long as the Fed is with us.
In addition, Obama is losing support among whites: "Polls offer limited help. Obama's approval ratings have fallen in the November polls by Gallup and Public Policy Polling while Palin's have risen. At this rate, they might even meet somewhere in the high 40s, a Drudge Report headline trumpets. But what's race got to do with that? Much of Obama's fall results from recent bad news on the employment and Afghanistan fronts and much of Palin's rise results from her highly touted book tour. Still, since almost all of Obama's decline has come from white voters, while his numbers among blacks and Hispanics have stayed virtually the same, many still ask how much the difference results from the issue of race." -Clarence Page/Chicago Tribune Source: http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/columnists/chi- oped1125pagenov25,0,936143.column The core principle of white nationalism is that whites, as an ethnic group, have political interests opposed to other groups and have as much right to act in those interests as any other group. This, of course is shouted down as racism, but as Page appears to be discovering, the race card isn't working like it used to -- and I do believe we have our President to thank for that.

"This man is Jesus,” shouted one man, spilling his Guinness as Barack Obama began his inaugural address. “When will he come to Kenya to save us?”
