With Gridlock The Norm, Congress's

The Failure Of The White House And Congress To Seriously Address The Nation's Fiscal Situation Is Certain To Broaden The Belief Among Many Voters That The U.s. Political System Is Broken.

With Gridlock The Norm, Congress's Approval Rating Is Below 10 Percent And The Public Has Lost Faith In Its National Leadership.

Most Tea Party Activists Consider Obama A Big-spending Liberal. Some Even Question His Eligibility To Be President.

Romney And Democratic Rival President Obama Have Led Their Partisan Backers Down A Trail Of Lies, Negativity And Vacuous Policies That Seem Certain To Guarantee An Angry Electorate Four More Years Of Gridlock.

At His Best, Obama Promised To Work With Republicans To Reduce The Deficit In A Way That Honors Both Individualism And Community.
