What can the people do to fix this?Worst Congress ever? | TheHill

Impeach Obama, LOL, dream on neo con:lamo, Obama approval rating at 44%, pathetic Gop congress at 13%, if even that..They can redeem themselves by impeaching and convicting Obama.
That depends on the congress. I have seen congress work very well with different presidents in my life time and I have seen them very opposed to a couple of presidents. The congresses who worked well with the presidents were usually the one in which the president reach out to them first and then each branch treated the other with respect and were willing to give and take.
The proverbial carrot on a string ...... Obama ...to the anger of his very own democratic base have reached over to republicans for 4 years ...only to be rejected every-time. What the right want with this argument is to make his presidency meaningless....the tail wagging the dog ....they want Obama to reach out and do everything they want.
This is what angered the democrats ...this .."reaching out"...was why democrats stayed home in 2010 and allowed the republican to sweep the house.
Even today Obama remains way behind in executive-orders when compared to Bush. We elected Obama to be very different from Bush .... that was the democratic mandate ...and Obama's low ratings today is not so much because of the economy...or foreign policy ...it because he failed to move the needle to the left!

Well if you want it to run more efficiently I would suggest having a third party, make Congress unicameral, undo gerrymandering, and make the President the leader of which ever party holds the most seats in the unicameral legislature.
3rd party ..yes
unicameral... no.
everyone, including Obama, is doing the same "my way or the highway" dance
everyone in DC is complicit in the political environment we have...every single one of them.

Well if you want to stop the stalemating you have to.
I'm enjoying watching the Prez finally give up on those who refuse to give. With zeroes in D.C. to deal with, the Prez is at his best on the road in all 57 states and US territories. Give 'em hell Obama suits just fine. Americans hate suers/sewers and filibusters .
stalemates serve a valid purpose...
So when will it stop?
allow me to consult my crystal ball....
it will stop when it becomes beneficial to the involved parties to stop...but that won't be while Obama, Reid, and Boehner are calling the shots.
"my way or the highway" is not a good way to run a Senate, House, or White House.
