*the stimulus--check
*the Lily Ledbetter Act--check
*hate crimes legislation--check
*The Affordable Care Act--check
*several pieces of unemployment compensation--check
*the 2010 budget--check
*a major defense appropriations bill--check
I could go on, but I think I've made my point. According to any standard, as far as passing his legislation, President Obama has been very successful according to many policy wonks, among them Steve Benen, Ezra Klein, and Dave Weigel who are much more reliable sources than Glennie.
Thanks for confirming what we already knew.
But even if you simply made a slip of the tongue, since when should a legit news organization have ANY role in slowing down a legislative agenda?
Well Becky, if the list of signed legislation is any indication, it would appear you and the teabaggers only slowed it to 90 mph from 100.
But, hey, whatever gets you up in the mornin' . . .
Ha!
Oh and by the way, Glenn, Obama isn't restricting anyone's right to peaceably assemble. Not even the open carry rallies that are going to be just a short distance away from the White House. I would say that Obama is pretty open to peaceful assemblies as long as they do not intimidate or assault the individuals working in the government nor do they encourage people to do so.
One last thing Glenn, learn how to read. It says peaceably assemble, not peacefully assemble.
