Congress Approval Reaches Historic Low

It's only taken the Democratic majority in Congress eight months, but their approval rating is now at a dreadful 18%, tied for the lowest rating in history. Congratulations! Hold on one second while I give the Dems a standing ovation. They deserve it.

(still applauding)

Okay, that's enough. Why some Republicans were angered when the Democrats won majority of both the House and the Senate last November is beyond me. They should've known that the flippy-floppity Dems would find a way not to make any decisions of their own and eventually give in to the president's (Republicans') wishes, which would then tick off 74% of the nation (not approving of the president's job at this current juncture). That doesn't include the 26% who do approve and many of them wouldn't support the Democratic agenda.

While the Democrats have attempted to speed up the troop withdrawal process, they were met with denials from the president and have since basically given up with that endeavor. Some now even claim to have changed their mind on how to go about such a measure.

Their softness and indecisiveness was at its peak just this past week, when they basically allowed President Bush to be a temporary dictator. Way to go, guys! I just read an article today that many Democrats are now having second thoughts on allowing the bill to pass. Go figure!

I'm now seeing more clearly the joke (truth) that comedian Lewis Black has paralyed unto his audiences, in that Republicans make all the bad decisions and Democrats don't make any decisions. So, what, we the people have to vote for Bad Decision or No Decision? Eh, how about a third or fourth option, so that we can make a decent decision? Is that too much to ask? Wait, don't answer that. I, unfortunately, already know the answer. (sighs)
