[Vision2020] U.S. House of Representatives Session Calendar, 113th Congress (2014)

[Paul Rumelhart]

Tom asked: "With a do-nothing congress in session a total of 112 days this
year, why are people upset with President Obama who is getting things done
. . . in spite of Congress."

Because he's abusing executive privilege, something which we were both
against when Bush was in office and doing the same thing, if I remember
correctly.
