    I believe it is the worst congress ever, but I would not say that Obama is the worst president ever since world war two, people have different needs and views , so no one in this world can ever satisfy all people.

    In a word, yes. I think too many people there got too cocky and it resulted in total dysfunction. I'm talking both sides... this is in no way a political statement. I read recently that even with the way Gingrich's congress got pounded, they got a lot more done than this one.

    Of course then things like bullheadedness and refusing to find compromise come into play as well.

    I'm not in any position to argue with the polls... and the polls say that Obama gets 33% vote of worst president since WWII. No one made this up, it's how all these polls, no matter who sponsors them are turning out.

    Incidentally, even Nixon just got 13%. Now doesn't that say pretty much?

    Is the sky blue? Of course this is the worst Congress ever. You basically have a bunch of imbeciles showing up and not doing any work. I want to know what are politicians in Congress doing besides attacking President Obama. I'm like, "I get it. You don't like the President but what about our country?" I don't pledge allegiance to any party but in this case Republicans have literally gone mad with their hatred for the President and will literally drag this country into the ground just to "stick it to Obama." Crazy.

    I really do wish that they were doing nothing. The problem is that they are not doing what public "servants" should do for the people of America, which is to make sure that the "game" they are playing works for the people. Instead, we have incredibly self-serving politicians who are more interested making the best move in the game, rather than the best move for the country.

    The best thing they can do or should do is play really good defense against Obama's "fundamental transformation of America" bs. They could impeach him as well, but that will never happen.
