It looks like the private sector is starting to wake up in spite of oll of Obama's meddling and trying to drive America into embracing Socialism. Are the people becoming more aware of just what Obama's true objectives are?

Yes they are and hence the low approval rating of Obama in the recent left-wing media mouthpiece CNN Poll.The electorate, especially the younger voters and independents are waking up to his Socialist/Marxist policies such as these:

Control over the "free flow" of the nation's money.
Stripping capitalists of their assets.
Creation of "big government".
Taking advantage of a crisis to consolidate power ( Hurricane Irene ).
Demolishing economy to replaced by State control.
Controlling higher education.
Elimination of property ownership.
