Clint Eastwood isn't satisfied with Congress

(CNN) - Clint Eastwood isn't pleased with the job Congress is doing.

"It's almost like they don't give a damn," he said Friday in an interview with CNBC. "So if they don't give a damn, why do they expect anybody else to?"



And he's not the only one.

A CNN poll conducted last month found only 21% approved of how Congress is handling its job.


That survey was taken fresh on the heels of the fiscal cliff standoff, where bickering between the parties sent the U.S. over the so-called fiscal cliff, although only briefly.

Some would say conditions on Capitol Hill hasn't improved much since, especially as lawmakers find themselves in gridlock ahead of future financial battles, such as the sequester deadline next month and the debt limit by May.

Congress also has immigration and gun violence legislation in the pipeline, and a number of Cabinet nominations to consider.

But Eastwood, who endorsed GOP presidential nominee Mitt Romney and drew attention for a rambling address at the Republican National Convention this summer, doesn't see progress in Washington.

"There's just a lot of people standing looking at one another and maybe it just appears that way to us who are outside of the beltway," Eastwood said. "Right now it's very disappointing. I just wish - the election's over, we should be moving ahead. And the leaders aren't stepping up."

I think Clint speaks for most of America- the time for just saying NO is gone...

Evaluating congress is one of those quirky deals. Most people like their own congress men especially if they bring home the bacon. But then they hate all the others because they want to take the bacon someplace else

If you poll those that voted for "Tea Partiers" separately from those that did not, you will find quite a bit of difference in which group approves of "their" congressperson.

It's kind of like a football game.

"Woohoo, my team carried for 8 yards"
"Whoohoo, we stopped them from getting a first down."

Both team's fans are happy, and the result is the same.


congress isn't much different.

At this point, the Dems. are unhappy that the Tea Party are being such obstructionists, so they will poll, "low approval"

Republicans are unhappy, that Dems. are looking to spend too much, so will poll, "low approval"

Tea Partiers are somewhat glad that spending is being curtailed by obstructionists, so will poll, "somewhat approve."


It's a worthless poll, until the goals of the country are defined and benchmarks established.

Too many points for one post. If you break them up a little more, highlight and bold the take home message, it might go further.

But you'll probably need to tie a little freebie with it for them to regurgitate it.

The dead, stinking elephant in the corner that no one mentions is a president who can't, or won't, lead.

Edited to add: I just saw Martin Jr's post. :wink:

TRENDING: Tea party address won't divide Republicans, Rand Paul says

Posted by
CNN's Kevin Liptak

(CNN) – Sen. Rand Paul's tea party response to Tuesday's State of the Union address isn't intended to drive a wedge through the Republican Party, the Kentucky senator said Sunday.

Paul was tapped by the Tea Party Express to deliver Tuesday's response to President Barack Obama's speech. It's the third year the group has sponsored its own rebuttal to Obama's speech. The official Republican response will be delivered by Sen. Marco Rubio of Florida, who like Paul was elected to the Senate in 2010 with support from the tea party.

That doesn't sound like it will happen on the Repub side of the aisle-- as it appears as they are becoming more divided... The R primary of 2016 has already started....

Rubio, the "crown prince of the Tea Party", will probably deliver his speech in both English and Spanish.

Maybe obama will too. :lol:

Good, we'll need someone top of the line to pull us out of this fiasco. Of course, you should be proud of your community organizer and all he has done.

Gone as well are the days of "Just trust me".
