And sure to slow down if McCain wins...

Absolutely typical of the Liberal Democrat Party, Congress is. I read the article to say, ..."buuuuut if McCain wins we will slow down our work, continue to do nothing for the American people, as we have done ever since we retook the Congressional majority two years ago."

Folks, Congress is supposed to work for US, you know, WE THE PEOPLE!!!. Why aren't they gearing up to solve our collective problems now? Trust me, the Democrat, Republican, and Indepenedent voter - and Non-voter -- are all in the same leakin', sinkin', freakin' boat. Every citizen has a stake in this nation, not just special interests.

WE, THE PEOPLE, need to shake up Congress this year more than worry about who is going to be President. It is our Congress which does nothing - toss them all out and start over. It is the worse situation I have seen in 40 years.

"We're prepared to govern, and we're prepared to lead"

The starting gate has been open since winning the majority in 2006 and they're waiting for Obama???? Govern now! Lead now!

Pelosi leadership shown so far is passing more of what Bush wants than the republican controlled congress. Giving telecoms immunity BEFORE the crimes are even known is against any common sense of justice. Bush got more than they thought they ever would on this one. And they tout it as a great compromise. It was an absolute capitulation.

No wonder this congress is more popular (make that less disgusted) with republican voters than with democrats.

16. Do you approve or disapprove of the job Congress is doing?

Dis-Approve Approve Don't Know

Democrats 18% 71% 11%

Republicans 23% 64% 13%

Independents 15% 74% 11%

Congress at all time low

Nancy Pelosi IS the reason that congress is at an all time low. Just WHAT does

she have to show for her "First 100 Days"?? (Remember That One Nancy????)

She is more like The First 100 "Speed Bumps" preventing ANYTHING from being

done.

She is the biggest embarassment & Impediment to progress that I have seen in

my lifetime, and the Main Reason that Congress ranks BELOW BUSH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Nice Goin' Nancy!!! Barack has to win the election First!!!

Congress workload

Based on the current Congress, increasing the workload should be easy. Their current workload is almost non-existent. I am glad US News, becoming more and more left leaning, found time to report on this dribble. I am a reader of 40 years and cannot believe how this once hard news balanced entity has shifted to the shilling for the left.
