In fact, Forest City\u2019s current approval rating of 13% is below the current approval rating of the US Congress of 15%.  To put that in perspective, the current do-nothing US Congress is essentially made up of a bunch of racist white guys whose only real accomplishment was getting re-elected.  But, somehow, this Congress has left Forest City in its dust.  \u201cIt\u2019s a really big thing for us,\u201d said US Congress Woman Michele Bachman (R).  \u201cTo not be the most hated organization in the United States is great.  It may take some pressure off of us so that we can actually get something done.  Probably not, but it could happen.\u201d\n<!--more-->\nSeveral things have caused Forest City\u2019s decline to the bottom of the popularity barrel.
