It's been 43 months since members of Congress stood on the steps of the Capitol and, in the recoil of the September 11 terrorist attacks, sang "God Bless America."
For a few months, U.S. leaders seemed focused on the nation's survival over their own. But to paraphrase a famous movie, that was a long time ago, in a political world far, far away. Now, Congress and the White House have come to stalemates on everything from Social Security reform to judicial nominations, and the atmosphere is as sour as at any time before September 11.
