Today, our political system isn’t living up to that challenge. Sixty-two percent of the public thinks the country is headed on the wrong track, and 75 percent disapprove of the job Congress is doing. With political stalemate the norm in Washington — on health care legislation, terrorism issues, economic reform, and presidential nominees — Americans are looking for progress and hoping that politicians will break the gridlock. Center for American Progress President and CEO John Podesta gave one of the most blunt assessments of the current political climate recently, telling the Financial Times that the health of American politics…sucks. It feels like a very frustrated country, he added. This week’s shocking retirement announcement from Sen. Evan Bayh (D-IN) further brought the dysfunction into focus. Instead of offering the usual reasons for stepping down, Bayh cited too much partisanship and not enough progress — too much narrow ideology and not enough practical problem-solving.<\/em>\u00bb<\/p>\n<\/p>\n\n
