From the article: Meanwhile, nearly one in four Americans viewed both parties unfavorably, Gallup found.

Sounds like both are being blamed if looking at unfavorable ratings. And more of an idea of how the public feels, look how far Obama's rating went down. 2-3 months ago he was pushing 50, and now he's at like 37-38.

Suffice to say, I think America thinks BOTH suck and both are responsible for the position we face today. But at the end of the day, we only have one CIC, only one person where the buck stops at. The current problems are a reflection of how shitty are congress is, and some reflection of what the president has been incapable of completing. Whether you like to hear it or not, and history judges them all the same, the responsibility of what happens in Washington falls under the sitting president.

I think BOTH parties should ALWAYS be willing to hear the other one out, and work to come to agreements. Seeing Obama earlier this week state he was refusing to even negotiate with the republicans is another large indicator of why we're at where we are. These nitwits in Washington are all placing party over country.

They all suck, get over it.

Let's add some depth to your shallow (as usual) post. If both Obama and Congress wind up with approval ratings in the toilet, the result will be an anti-incumbent fever. The House has been made safe through Gerrymandering. B-HO isn't up for election and the Dems are the incumbents in the Senate. That points to the Dems losing the Senate.
