'Dissatisfied' is an Understatement

Our country has been through a lot even over the past six months when it comes to the economy. Due to the recent debt ceiling agreement, many Americans became (or remained) dissatisfied with Congress. The word 'dissatisfied' seems a bit of an understatement, though, because when we look at the approval ratings for Congress, we see that as a nation we have reached a record low. Only 12% of Americans right now are satisfied with Congress, while the majority of the nation is ready for new representatives. This should not be surprising, though, due to the scrambling, indecisive actions that Congress exhibited during the debt crisis. This attitude of disapproval has reached an all time low for Obama as well. Only 39% of Americans to date are satisfied with how he's running the country. So, we can ignore these facts, but it won't change the 'dissatisfaction' --to say the least--of the American people. Many foreign republics in history have fallen due to disapproval of the leader... Will America follow in those footsteps, or will we grow from this bitter battle of disunity?
