The public is angry and disapproves of Congress because the popular perception is that Congress is not acting fast enough to implement the Democratic agenda. Voters are angry because they feel the senators and representatives they voted for in the last election aren't fulfilling their promises.<BR/><BR/>But the anger is fueled by dissatisfaction with Republican policies that have not been overturned yet.<BR/><BR/>And now we know the Republicans have a deliberate strategy to obstruct Democratic reform and then blame the Democrats for doing nothing.Karen Duncanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13954405672195734097noreply@blogger.com
