Former CIA director Leon Panetta said Wednesday that he has “never seen a Washington as dysfunctional as it is” now.
Panetta told Fox News’s Neil Cavuto on “Your World” that he has seen “Washington work” and Republicans and Democrats work together before, but that the climate is now “awfully partisan.”
“Both sides attack each other. It's difficult to get people to sit down and really try to resolve issues and find consensus. And that just means that Washington is failing to deal with a lot of the issues facing the American people,” Panetta said. And that's what we ought to be concerned about,” he continued.
“And, by the way, it didn't just happen in this administration. I think for the last more than 10 years, we have had It's time for Washington, frankly, to get their act together and to govern the country.”

We couldn't have said it better ourselves. Washington needs to get its act together, but they may not get there any time soon. That's why We the People need to call an Article V Convention of States to shore up the holes in our system of governance and restore the balance of power between the states and the people.
