Small wonder, considering Washington is so broken they can't even pass a damned budget.

Poll: Government dissatisfaction highest since Watergate - Katie Glueck - POLITICO.com

Poll: Government dissatisfaction highest since Watergate


More Americans cite dissatisfaction with government as the biggest problem facing the country than at any other time since the months leading up to the Watergate scandal, a new poll finds.
Twenty percent of those surveyed call dissatisfaction with government the country’s biggest problem, according to a Gallup survey on Thursday - up from 16 percent the month before.

I would agree with this sentiment. It seems that all that the government wants (all parties included) is more power for themselves and the heck with what is in the best interests of all those who elected them. That and maintaining power for themselves.

I'm dissatisfied with Congress. The inability of the far left and far right to compromise is depressing.

They compromised on sequestration, and the left tried to backtrack from their compromise.

Both sides didn't try to backtrack?

We all knew this would happen - the unveiling of the true BO and his crooked cronies. Now we get to sit back as the lefties start to open their eyes and realize what a disasterous liar he is. Unfortunately, we have to endure 4 more years of the idiot being in office before the country can start to clean up his mess.

You do realize that it is Congress no one in this country is happy with. I think your anger is focused at the wrong person.

Barack is nothing but a community organizing hustler. I can't wait until his name is just a paragraph in a history book that never gets approved by a school board.

The common thread - psychically challenged leaders.

Frack gun buyers, we should require psychiatric evaluations of our presidents.
