| Post subject: | Legislative Record |
Well, the numbers are in on Obama's legislative record as measured by number of laws passed. It is less the Washington Times claims than one term presidents Carter and HW Bush. Some (like me) think this is fine. Basically, in all honesty, I had hoped he could not radically change anything. Some will think is is a travesty. The article seems to share the blame between Obama and congress. It does correctly point out he had a Dem congress for the first two years. Anyway read if you want and decide for yourself. http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/201 ... gress-leg/ |

They are just going to do things differently now, huh? Holy shit, is it getting deep in here. pittmike wrote: You have to be bored today. You lose when you go to places like this. Defend your point without making it about me. If you can. You have admitted several times that you know nothing about the people you defend. Good luck. |

You did the same by making it about me and claiming I voted for Gary Johnson. I did not ever say this morning she shouldn't be judged by her past actions. In fact I literally wrote the words in English "I am not defending her". I said about her I guess but especially in general asking a nominee to a vast bureaucracy about their personal belief on one particular litmus test subject was a waste of time. |

Not exactly. He didn't have 60 people to vote for it in the Senate. |
