Congressional grades set on a low curve
http://www.politico.com/news/stories/1207/7337.html

interesting article snips of the article:

“People are down on Congress, and Democratic leaders are nervous,” said Don Wolfensberger, director of the Congress Project for the Woodrow Wilson International Center. “But voters are more down on Republicans than Democrats in Congress. ... It was an unrealistic expectation that Congress could change war policy.”


Republicans have clearly laid out a strategy of obstructing the Democrats’ agenda, then blaming them for getting nothing done, while Democratic leaders hope the voters will see the frequent filibusters and grant them an even larger working majority.

1. I hope the Repub tactic of obstructing everything backfires in the next Congressional elections.
May they lose a shit load of seats as punishment.
