"Never before in our country's history have both the president and Congress been so out of touch with most Americans. Never before have so few of our elected officials and corporate leaders been less willing to commit to the national interest. And never before has our nation's largest constituent group -- some 200 million middle-class Americans -- been without representation in our nation's capital.
George W. Bush's approval ratings have slumped to the lowest of his presidency. The approval rating for Congress is even lower, and nearly three-quarters of Americans believe the country is headed in the wrong direction."
As found on the CNN wire.
Should we be concerned about this? How many more times can we possibly hear that "Bush's ratings have slumped to the lowest of his presidency?" How is all this going to play out in the next 5-7 years? I probably don't think about it nearly enough until I come across an article like the one referenced above, using simple language to promote a more thorough understanding. So many things stay more or less hidden from view behind language "too steep" to climb and dismantle into comprehensible bits, for a common understanding and perspective of just what is going on in the White house and on Capital Hill everyday. The overall effects of which appear to be nothing short of catastrophic in so many areas, known and unknown, to the American population.

I've always thogutht hat the vote for gridlock approach worked well. If there's a rep in the whitehouse there shoudl be a dem congress or vice versa. That keeps too much shit from happening.
True, but it can also mean nothing happens in some instances, which can be good or bad, depending who's side your on.
