The "it doesn't matter to me" feeling that seems to pervade much of America?

So many people seem to believe that it's "just politics" - that it has no bearing on their own lives. Now with the struggling economy, job losses, bank failures, environmental issues, etc., etc., etc., do you think that the Obama administration has a somewhat unique opportunity? If they can motivate people, get or keep people informed, and manage to turn around the issues that people are really struggling with, do you think Americans might finally wake up to the importance of paying attention to electing leaders who represent their interests, and then keeping tabs on what those leaders actually do?

Hey, a girl can hope, right? :D
