That is your thing that makes Bush a better President than Obama. If congress/house didn't vote for what he wanted, he would pass it anyway. If Obama had the balls to do this, our country would be in a much better shape.

Uh... he does that all the time.

Congress wouldn't pass the DREAM Act, so Obama basically enacted it through executive order.

When Congress blocked a $200 million dollar aid package to the Palestinian Authority, Obama did it through executive order.

When Congress put a hold on $1.5 billion in military aid to Egypt, Obama again did it through an executive order.

Rather than even asking Congress to authorize US involvement in Libya, Obama did it on his own.

The idea that poor little Obama is just too nice and too respectful of the separation of powers to get anything done is such laughable bullshit.

That is normal for a President to use executive order for military reasons. But Bush had the balls to push through things that had nothing to do with the military, under the excuse of this country is in war, so every law is a war time decision. Obama hasn't shown the balls to do this type of action.
