Actually almost all Presidents back until FDR used more. Obama is part of a trend of less and less executive orders.


Yes, but those executive orders are applying more broadly than before. Again, mere counts of orders is an extremely misleading statistic.

Good to see he's still trying to bring the country together. Signs of a great leader.

That speech today was disgraceful. Unpresidential. Sad.

Well to me the Op was so blatant that Obama was being divisive by straight up blaming republicans for not just signing off on whatever the F he asks for.


I was more or less praying for sarcasm.

If he lets it rip, he'll be the most successful lame duck.

Man, the only thing he's ripping is the fart after he had lunch in the study next to the Oval Office.

If nothing else, his arrogance is astounding. I can't recall a president making such outright pompous statements as Obama, other than Nixon's, "When the President does it, it's not illegal." Obama's not too far off from that, either.

Saying Bush was better than Obama is less a reflection of how good Bush was and more a reflection on how bad Obama has been for most on this board.

Ole Bushie is head and shoulders above Obama and I am not a republican.



Both are complete disasters. Can we agree on that? Good. Let's work on a way to fix this shite.

If the Obama was really interested in working with republicans, he'd have done it a long time ago. Those bridges have been burned.

I consider his inability and unwillingness to work with congressmen from both parties one of the biggest failures of his administration. Rhetoric like this shows that he still doesn't really want meaningful debate or compromise.

It was an odd speech. He claimed credit for everything getting better. Then went on a diatribe about he was a powerless victim. He outright lied. Claimed that congress was suing him for trying to solve the immigration problem.

It seemed petty, whiney, small. A pathetic case of the "poor me's". Not the way a president should conduct the office. Hurts me to say that, because I certainly respect the office. But true.
