Not to mention blackmouth's hero who had a whopping 23% approval rating near the end of his disastrous terms.

You should also consider that Obama's numbers would always be at least 10% lower than if had been white

Then reasons that Congress almost always polls lower than the President are many and varied.

This short article offers some reasons.

You can speculate all day, but in the end the reason for most politicians low approval ratings is simple, corporations are people and money is free speech.

I was not apologizing for anything or anyone, I was simply showing that Congress almost always polls worse than the President regardless of which party controls the White House and which party controls the Congress. It is a fact supported by statistics, some of which are provided in the article that I had linked to in my post.

Of coarse you are free to read the article or not, and you are free to draw your own conclusions or not. You are even free to ignore facts which might undermine your dogma and free to continue on your path of trying to insult and or offend others who challenge your beliefs. However you might consider that your continual barrage of insults are not a clear sign of reasoned thought.

MY dogma?

lol

Go kill yourself.

You haven't presented a reasoned thought here that I've ever seen, you dumb sonofabitch. You pretend to present reasoned thought, but you aren't fooling anyone who isn't a political hack and party ballwasher.

If you don't want to bne insulted, don't go around saying stupid sh!t. Somehow, I think that's beyond your ability.

Have you stopped beating your wife?

So you're not going to quit sniveling like a pussy.

Have you stopped beating your wife?

"Its backlog of unanswered requests at year's end grew remarkably by 55 percent to more than 200,000. It also cut by 375, or about 9 percent, the number of full-time employees across government paid to look for records. That was the fewest number of employees working on the issue in five years."

So your solution is to hire more government workers Blackmouth?

No, hiring more government workers would not be my answer.

Were the employees terminated or moved to some other government positions? Perhaps they were moved to the Obama-phone program.
Government has plenty of workers to access those records, it is a simple matter of the administration's priorities.

Any attentive and honest person would admit that cutting government has not been high on President Obama's list of priorities, and that keeping it under his control has been very high on that list.

Do you understand now?

The FOIA was signed because records from the Manhattan project were destroyed. Problem is that Reagan cut secretarial workers and higher level employees were given responsibility to do their own filing, typing, etc. Recordkeeping is low priority. Now some records can be destroyed after a certain amount of time. Prevents having to warehouse records and is also searches. Wasn't it Fawn Hall or Oliver North that shredded records about Iran-Contra? Recordkeeping is complex and has only become more burdensome with more program requirements and electronic records. At least now you can save electronic records on smaller media but if you have something like a floppy disc there's nothing to read it anymore. Now everything can be scanned and burned to a CD but what will replace the CD? And now with baby boomers retiring records get passed on. Also have to make sure there are no Social security numbers. If anybody requests records they have to submit a FOIA request and certain information gets redacted/blacked out by attorneys.

I have seen precious little cleverness come from your typed thoughts.
