I think that more than anything, the problem is that he's going on day 935 of his presidency to promote a jobs bill or jobs plan.
Rather than, you know, try to create jobs on Day-1. Of course, I'd argue that he did try a jobs bill near Day-1. It failed, and this attempt is nothing more than smoke and mirrors for one of the worst presidencies in recent American history. |
well 3 of the last 3 presidents reached across the aisle to get legislation passed, and only 2 was able to be successful in doing so.
i say it all the time. the President has no more power then the Congress and Senate will let him have, and if the otherside isn't willing to work with the President then nothing gets done.

So who is that 3rd president that couldn't get legislation passed? I am pretty sure Clinton and Obama have been able to get tons of major legislation passed in their terms. The only one that had issues was George W. Bush when it came to reforming Social Security in 2004, as well as ANWAR and a few other areas, despite having majorities in all three legislative areas (congress, senate, president).
