31. You said that congress didn't approve warrentless wiretapping. The act I posted...
...shows you that in fact they did. You are right, I can post much more legislation. But in this case I posted that to directly refute what you said.

As far as you saying they only got stuff done when it came to national security. That's not true, and you know it's not true because we already talked about this above. In addition to the 2 tax cuts you just mentioned he also got a 2 trillion dollar medicare bill. He also got a 1 trillion dollar bank bail out. And he also got no child left behind. So besides pissing all over our civil liberties (with the Democrats happily allowing him to do so) he did get through quite a large domestic agenda. And he did so with far less republicans than the democrats that Obama has.

Again, these are just the things that are directly off the top of my head. There is much more that he did. And he did so in many cases without giving the democrats a damn thing. So I simply don't agree with your argument that he didn't get that much done, or on what he did get done most of it was on national security.
