To be fair, I am not a fan of the executive order spree that seems to be the preferred way of doing biz for the last few presidents. I do blame congress, the level of partisan separation, and the thought that the best way to govern is to not even listen to or engage the other party. If congress wasn't a crap storm the office of the president wouldn't have had to wrangle a way to accomplish something(good or bad). Congress is now more of a place to go hang out, troll ppl on twitter, and just make sure that if the other party has a president in power that they don't ever get anything they want.
Actually, given that Democrats have lost more than 1000 seats in government since Obama has started his wreck-capitalism-campaign...
Since Obama took office Democrats have lost:
** 14 Senate seats
** 69 House seats
** 12 governorships
** 910 state legislature seats
That’s over 1,000 seats lost.
You are witnessing a wave.
