Have a peek at how many executive orders actually came out of Obama's presidency versus Bush.
Then you might actually want to check out how many bills through congress during Bush's administration and during Obama's administration.
Conservatives are notorious for a "My way or highway" means of governance.
I have checked and he is right on course to catch Bush by the end of his 8 years, he said he was a constitutional scholar and he was going to reverse maneuvering around congress, but now he touts his 'pen and phone" in the STOU. Please lol
That's probably because he thought we were past the partisan bickering because the country had been so screwed.
He probably thought that everyone would roll their sleeves up and pitch in to fix the mess and help make America a better place.
He was wrong.
Conservatives have no interest in making America a better place. It's not a country they were involved in forming.
Ahhhh so Bush did not have to deal with a congress that did not want to cooperate as well? They did not do the same things we see today? This is the problem, many act as if these issues are new and in some cases decide the partisanship is racism. Instead of realizing this crap was going on for a long time.
As President Bush prepares for his second term, Democrats in Washington and around the country are organizing for a year of confrontation and resistance, saying they are determined to block Bush's major initiatives and thereby deny him the mandate he has claimed from his reelection victory last November

"What the president said is a fact this is the longest a Congress has gone in 20 years without passing a single spending bill, so it's clear that the speaker is feeling some frustration at their inability to do so."
