Politicians apparently continue playing to their base in the middle of debt crisis.

According to a CBS News poll, 71% don't approve of the GOP handling of the debt crisis:

Americans are unimpressed with their political leaders' handling of the debt ceiling crisis, with a new CBS News poll showing a majority disapprove of all the involved parties' conduct, but Republicans in Congress fare the worst, with just 21 percent backing their intransigent resistance to raising taxes.

President Obama earned the most generous approval ratings for his handling of the weeks-old negotiations, but still more people said they disapproved (48 percent) than approved (43 percent) of what he has done and said.

Why am I again surprised that those who govern all of us are only interested in the needs and desires of a fraction of us?
