Obama scores the worst legislative record in History.....

[MMC]

More validation that BO peep will go down in History as one of the Worst US Presidents we ever had. With his legacy being reduced to a little wad of paper being thrown into the wastebasket. Its Poetic Justice.



Signed less bills into law than one-term Carter.


President Obama oversaw the deepest legislative malaise in modern political history, according to the Washington Times Legislative Index, which captures his struggles to find ways to work with a Congress (http://www.washingtontimes.com/topics/congress/) that ranged from lukewarm to openly hostile toward him.


Over the course of his eight years, he has signed just 1,227 bills into law — less, even, than one-term Presidents Carter and George H.W. Bush. Digging deeper into the numbers, Congress (http://www.washingtontimes.com/topics/congress/) spent less time in session, handled less business on the chamber floors and generally sputtered for much of Mr. Obama’s tenure, according to The Times’ index.


“The president was never good at reaching across the aisle. So when the composition of Congress (http://www.washingtontimes.com/topics/congress/) changed relative to what it was in his first two years, he wasn’t able to accommodate that very well,” said Andrew Busch, a presidential scholar at Claremont McKenna College in California. “He never accustomed himself to operating in a system where he was not the sole player.”.....snip~

Pretty funny when considering who is responsible for legislation. What was it McConnel said back in 08?

If only Harry had sent those bills to Barack.

Even funnier when they give the reason why BO peep gets the blame, and people try to avoid it while looking to find some excuse to help the Peep out.

It’s all the more stunning for Mr. Obama having emerged from the legislature himself, having served first in the Illinois Statehouse and then in the U.S. Senate, where he spent two years in a Republican-controlled Congress (http://www.washingtontimes.com/topics/congress/) and two years in a Democrat-run Congress (http://www.washingtontimes.com/topics/congress/).


He was the first president since John F. Kennedy to make the leap directly from Capitol Hill to the White House, but he took a mostly hands-off approach, leaving his former colleagues on their own to hash out the details of bills......snip~

Now isn't that funny?

It proved that just saying NO works for Political Scoring but still didn't make President Obama a One term President.

Next!

Yep....just sitting on Harry Reid's desk.
In the "do-nothing Senate," there are 352 House bills "sitting on Harry Reid’s desk awaiting action," including 55 introduced by Democrats.

The Senate has not voted on jobs bills sent by the House, any “fix” for Obamacare or a domestic energy development bill. The Senate will not take up a real vote on the Keystone XL pipeline. It will not take up Iran sanctions. It did pass Veterans Affairs legislation and Iron Dome funding, not exactly difficult votes. Other than that, not much of consequence has gone on in the Senate, but not because of Republican objections. The GOP would love to take up many of these subjects, debate them and offer amendments; it is Reid who either won’t take up meaty issues or won’t allow any minority amendments, a practice he has taken further than any modern Senate leader. Speaking to the press on Tuesday, Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) said succinctly: “Well, if you look at the last six years, the president and his people, I think, believed they got just about everything they wanted legislatively the first two years.”
