What Happens When Congress Fails to Do Its Job?

I found this article on www.newsweek.com, and it talked about how congress doesn't always do their job the way it's suppose to be done. This article goes in to detail about Evan Bayh who was suppose to be Obama running mate during the election in 2008. The article states that Evan didn't stop running in the race because he had poor funding or low poll numbers, but he started to hate his job. I picked this particular article because, it kind of remind me of chapter 11 about Bill Clinton's scandal with Monica Lewinsky. I feel that this article ties in with chapter 11, because just like Bill Clinton scandal it was buzz about why Evan Bayh reason for leaving the campaign was because he had low funding or low poll numbers. Only when Evan Bayh wrote in the New York Times about why he really left was when people started to stop making different comments about what may have happened. Although Bill Clinton's scandal was true and Bayh was not the two were kind of similar because the media to me blew both of the situations way out of control. However by Bill Clinton lying didn't make the situation any better, I just feel that once he media gets a hold of any scandal that it always gets blown up more than what it is.
