This is great but the skeptic in me doesn’t think that Congress will feel any more pressure to act than they already do. After all, each MOC (Member of Congress) knows that while the group’s approval rating is 9%, their own individual standing is not an issue. Therein, I think that they know that their grandstanding and obstructionism only hurts McCain and not themselves.
Exactly. Most people probably couldn’t even name 3 people in the House and 3 in the Senate, and have practically no concept of how Congress is more influential than the President when it comes to the economy. To most people, the President = the federal government, and you can be damn sure that people know who the President is and what party he belongs to. The dem Congress will do nothing because they know that most of the sheeple will place the blame on the party that holds the presidency, the republicans.
