Extremely low approval ratings. When you hear about how Bush's ratings are at an all time low, you'd think that Congress and Democrats would naturally get higher ratings right? You'd be wrong. They are BOTH sitting in the low to mid 30% range right now. Now, that makes for a few interesting points.
First off, that means that Congress doesn't have the "will of the American people" on it's side like Nancy Pelosi likes to claim. That means that they are equally doing a shitty job in the eyes of most Americans.
Secondly, that means that Congress hasn't fulfilled their campaign promises that they said they would in the election in November.
However, both sides can bring their approval ratings up significantly with a bit of action. First off, no more "the war is lost" bullshit. The war was won a long time ago. We took out Saddam, decimated his military, and captured or killed thousands of al-Qaeda members. Secondly, no more deadlines. There isn't a nation on earth that can rebuild an entire country destroyed by Saddam's policies overnight. Lastly, stop pork spending. Funds for spinach farmers being attached to military spending bills shows what kind of liar you are when you promise to cut pork then turn around and add pork to a bill.
