I approve of Congress doing nothing, I don't approve of them spending taxpayer dollars to do nothing.

"I think one of the reasons that Congress is at an all-time low in confidence with the American people is that we did not end the war – and these issues that relate to energy," .


Too bad we can't harvest the wind energy from this windbag Pelosi!!!

I think one of the major reasons for low ratings in the Congress is the leadership by Nancy Pelousy and Senator Reid. They arent Americans , they are working for the terrorists and Opec.

Many Democrats blame the Republicans for obstructing legislation. Republicans blame Democrats for obstructing judicial nominees that have been languishing for years. Looks like plenty of blame to go around.

I would be willing to bet over half of the people in an "on the street poll" of 1000 random people would say the GOP is still in control of congress.

Despite a 9% approval rating I bet 95% of the incumbents who run will be re-elected. Americans seem to have little problem being pissed off about something but no stomach to do anything about it.
