Like grade school kids on a playground

I'm disgusted by the behavior of our government. Have you seen worse behavior anywhere else except maybe on a grade school playground? Name-calling and finger-pointing are not going to get us anywhere. I hope our enemies aren't watching. With all the in-fighting going on in Washington, we probably look like lame ducks to them.


I'm so tired of hearing what the President wants. I'm so tired of hearing what people in Congress want. How about what the American people want? We're trying to speak up. We're trying to let our government know how we feel. Are they listening? It doesn't appear so. Their response comes in the form of more name-calling and finger-pointing. Haven't you had enough?

Check out rasmussenreports.com for some polling information that will let you know what Americans think. Washington needs to take a good, long look at these results. You'll find some of the following poll results:

*President’s approval rating only 49% in 9/09 as compared to 62% in 1/09.

*Only 41% of voters favor the health care reform proposed by the President. And that's after all of his interviews on TV.

*83% of the voters say legislation should be posted online in final form for everyone to read before it gets voted on. And I think they'd like Congress to actually read it too!

*Only 33% of the voters say the US is heading in the right direction.

*59% of voters believe that the current level of political anger in the country is higher than it was when GWB was president.

I also just read results to this question posted by AT&T/Yahoo:

The president's progress with the battered economy has been both praised and criticized. How well are his efforts measuring up with you?

80% of 3,257,159 voters answered - Not well at all. His plans are hurting more than helping.

If you've had enough, speak up!
