Media.
I didn't know it was so government controlled.
Stupid politicians.
Only the stupid ones make the news (which further pushes my previous point), which is where you're gathering this information on all of the United States' government body.
Two parties determined to take control of the White House.
That would happen no matter what, people are just that way. I think they're starting to agree on some things, maybe in the future we'll have one body again.
The fact policitians think they are on top when the PEOPLE are supposed to be on top.

Stupid bills.
It doesn't take many politicians to make a bill. How many normal citizens does it take to PASS it?
Money.
Our economy is starting to improve.
Look at the facts: the US has the best colleges in the world, some of the best inventions in the world, and one of the most protective Constitutions in the world. Stop griping and compare the US to the rest of the world.
EDIT: and United States isn't "America", America is a pair of continents.
