The most recent Reuters/Zogby poll puts the public approval rating of the President at 29% and of the Congress at 11%. The disapproval of the Congress is at 83% (82% among Democrats, 86% among Republicans, 96% among Independents).
How high must the disapproval go before Washington understands: Politics-as-usual is dead. Done. Gone. Through. Over.
The only remaining question is what will replace it – just somebody masquerading as change only to play the same old games all over again – or the people rising to the challenge to change our politics forever?
