        @USATODAY It appears to be an inability or no desire to accept responsibilities for leading the country by making tough visionary decisions.

        @USATODAY It is called "Compromise" which neither one is willing to do. Shame Shame Shame.

        @USATODAY I rather answer with the words of (Sir) Ex-President Bill Clinton: because of the "Politics of Personal Destruction".

        @USATODAY The only things they agree on are more perks and pay raises for Congress. Healthcare, retirement and COL raises, they agree on.
