CNN posted an article on the low approval rating of both Congress and the President. The President is currently at 30% and Congress has dropped to a wonderful 25% according to recent polls.
This is my favorite quote from that article:
So Democrats blame Republicans. "The fact is that the Republicans aren't allowing us to proceed,'' Reid said. And Republicans blame Democrats.
Well, no shit. The article really does proves a point though, and that is that NOTHING will get done until people in our government stop bickering and start discussing. That would seem easy, but it's difficult when so many tiny-dicked white-men are running around trying to find a ruler that only has a millimeter scale. I think they only sell those in Europe.
The new dynamic is the people versus the government. The immigration bill is a perfect illustration. It was a bipartisan bill, supported by President Bush and by most Democrats in Congress. Why didn't it pass? Because the people didn't like it.
This is the most intelligent piece of the article, it 'is' us vs. them, but what CNN is incorrect about is that it is a 'new' dynamic. This isn't new at all people; it's just finally coming to a head. You can only watch you government shit on it's own citizens for so long before the timbre of the public turns angry.
