Remember, Obama is running against Congress, at least until he has a clear Republican opponent. Then he will be running against both. When the MSM all start telling you how unpopular Congress is, you know something is afoot!

I think it’s because Congress wants the Packers to win the Super Bowl. (Just a clumsy way of illustrating your logical fallacy).

#1 Considering that it is Republican and conservative majority

No, the House is, the Senate is not.

#2 People love to moan about congress, but will then re-elect THEIR guy because that one isnt the real problem.

#3 Congress does not flip every two years:

1995-2006 GOP (10 Years)

2007-2010 Dem (4 Years)

No one conservative or republican seems to care that the highest approval rate for congress was when it was most under republican control.

‘Considering that it is Republican and conservative majority’-—————PROPAGANDA BS.

You left out the radicals of the senate. They are considered the ‘congress’ too, you know , the side Barack Hussein Obama is from....Harry Reid, Nancy Pelosi, remember them??? Of course not, because this hit piece is nothing but blatant lies and propaganda.

Boehner and McConnell should have lost these leadership positions in 2009 or certainly 2011. They were carry-overs from the GWB era.

Clearly they are not able to lead a coordinated counter-attack on Obama and he is using them as sitting ducks to fire on. Their performance is pathetic and their members don’t seem to want to win either.

Media nitwits continually harp on Congress' "low approval ratings" especially in comparison to the President's. What they don't seem to understand is that it is comparing apples to oranges.

When you ask a Democrat what he thinks of Congress, he thinks of the House GOP leadership or the tea party and gives "Congress" low ratings. If you ask a Republican what they think of Congress, they think of Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid and give "Congress" low ratings. Asking about Congress pre-determines the response you'll get.

In contrast, when anyone is asked to rate "the President" there's no doubt who you're talking about, and so it accurately reflects the national mood about the Executive, mixing together both Democrats and Republicans.

Considering that it is Republican and conservative majority...

The House is majority Republican, but not the Senate. If what you said were true, we'd be in much better shape with regards to Zero's dictatorial excesses.

CONGRESS? How about ALL government, ALL media, ALL public “education”? We have undergone incremental fundamental transformation for a long, long, long time. To grasp it...you’d have to go back to the pre-Constitution days...the anti-federalists. Go ahead. Try to put a harness (the Constitution) on diabolical totalitarians.

Though the low numbers of approval for Congress have been cited for years now, they do NOT apply to the individual’s own representative, but to members in other districts and states.
