I am tired of the comparison made between the President''s disapproval ratings with that of the Congress. It is irrelevant, inaccurate and misrepresent the fact. This is why:
Generally Democrats vote against Congress because of Republicans'' obstructionism; and Republicans vote against Congress because of Democrats'' majority and their so called "Liberalism". Together they create the disapproval rating of over 70%. The nearly 30% approval rating, not so in-coincidentally, represents the more or less number of independents. The President''s disapproval,however, is pure and simple; over 70% do not approve of his policies.; Reply to this comment
