We have all been hearing about the president's low job approval and now it seems that congress is lower than Bush. So what is going on? Both are just about as low as one can get. Most people think the country is on the wrong track.

Bush's is simple to understand, Iraq. If it were not for Iraq I believe this president would be one of the more popular. He has cut taxes, pulled this country out of what could have been a steep recession after 9/11. He lead this country strong after the attacks on this country. But it began to go wrong in Iraq. The first part was planed good over in a short time. Then came the occupation which was planed with out much thought.

Bush and Blair forgot one little thing. No one likes a long war and hundred's of dead. We and the British have gotten use to the get in and right out. When planing war you can not be stingy on what you need to do to win it. You need the troops and you need to think about the peace that need to follow.

Now as for congress they have more things wrong than a person can list here. But here are a few. Both the republicans and the democrats are trying to please every one of their voters and they please no one. They do not listen to what the people are saying.

Then on every bill that comes before them they all have to ad their 2 cents and end up making a good bill bad. But the main reason and it has more to do with it than any thing. Ego and the feeling that they always know best. They forget what it is like to try to make a living and put up with all of what they do.
