Approval Ratings

I find it interesting that as the approval rating for Congress continues to decline, that Speaker of the House, Nancy Pelosi chooses to criticize President Bush on his "total failure" as Commander and Chief. What is even more interesting is the fact that his approval rating stayed at 28%, in comparison to Congress' approval which went from 23% last month down to 16%.

Now you tell me, who's a total failure at their job?

Why is it that Congress feels the need to do nothing? Especially on oil prices! Just days after President Bush lifted his executive ban on off-shore drilling oil prices dropped. However, the only thing our democratic run Congress is worried about is Global Warming and saving the environment from drilling, while wanting to tax oil executives (because it's their faults). Our liberal run Congress points the finger at everyone but themselves.

This cartoon sums up perfectly what I mean:

Americans are sinking in debt to these oil prices, and yet Reid, Pelosi, and Obama do nothing.
