So Congress gets poor approval, and (I would guess) just about all Senators and Representatives have much higher approval than Bush.
Heh. It's funny to see this complaint about someone other than UG in an argument involving UG, no less.

That would be total bull shit. Congress is in the driving seat. Congress' approval rating is 23% and that has been consistantly below Bush's for months.

Congress during Bush's reign is at much fault as is Bush himself, if not more, for any of the mess we are in. The Demoncrats ran on a platform of change and have been in office nearly 2 years, doing absolutely nothing. They are in the drivers seats, they get the blame.
